Do you think this is a good idea

I have decided not to fight vandalism. Instead I'm just going to stick with what I know which is sports. Will you still help me even though I'm not vandal-fighting anymore? I love me! (talk) 22:44, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Duh! lol. Yes absolutely. I'm glad you're still here!!! Ask me if you need anything! —Tommy2010 22:45, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Ha ha alright. Thanks man! I think the best way to atone for my past is to not deal with vandalism at all even fighting it. I want no part of it. Just wondering do you like sports at all? I love me! (talk) 22:47, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Nope I was a swimmer. However, because of my experience in vandal fighting and seeing many, many diff links amongst newer users, I can give some pointers to make your editing experience a bit easier, from what I've seen, if you want it. I guess the best advice I could give for users who want to help Wikipedia by writing articles would be to always listen to other users and keep a cool head, which I'm sure you'll do just fine. And references.. yes. Links are a must, but I'm sure that'd be easy for writing about sports... essentially any reputable news organization, local or national, or espn.com would be fine. —Tommy2010 23:03, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

First off how do I link? I really don't know how to do it. Second off I see that a lot of users have their own test pages, can you help me make my own so I can test and screw up and therefore help myself contribute more positively to Wikipedia? I love me! (talk) 23:20, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Of course. Users may create their own personal subpages for virtually anything and everything Wikipedia related, from guestbooks to vandalism (nonsense space) to their own personal sandbox. You can create your own subpage by using / after your username. For example: User:I love me!/sandbox could be your own sandbox. Of course, you can also always use Preview at the bottom, works just as if you saved your work. Regarding linking:

• To link within Wikipedia, simply use [[ ]] between the word. Such as [[Wikipedia]] to link Wikipedia.

• To link within Wikipedia, but show a different appearance, use the | (above enter), with the real title first. So [[Wikipedia|The world's largest encyclopedia]] links to Wikipedia but appears as The world's largest encyclopedia.

• To link to any site outside of Wikipedia, use only one [ ], with the link in front, simply followed by a space with the appeared text after. So, (with http://) [http://www.google.com the world's largest search engine] appears as the world's largest search engine and links directly to Google.

Does that help? —Tommy2010 23:27, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

It helps very much so. I'm going to go create the sandbox test page now. I love me! (talk) 23:29, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Re:Rfa

Thank you for your comments. When I nominated myself, I was aware that most editors who succeeded in the Rfa process had many more edits than I do. I wanted to see what people thought overall, and to see if I stood a chance in the Rfa process. Overall, I'm happy with the result, but I want to get some more comments. --Slon02 (talk) 23:30, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

works for me! Just wanted to let you know. Cheers —Tommy2010 23:32, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Also, I have a question that you might be able to help me with, if you don't mind. What is the proper way to respond to comments on a talk page? Is it proper to reply on the same talk page, or to reply on the commentor's talk page. --Slon02 (talk) 00:52, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

There is no real way, as far as I know. Personally if people message me here, I reply here. Some other people like to reply on the original person's talk page, however I think this can be confusing. It's whatever you want really. The {{tb}} template is useful though, regardless. —Tommy2010 01:01, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thanks so very much for helping me out regarding that coordinated "Joker Vandal" attack on my talk page. I've reblocked that IP and two others for six months. One was a proxy; the other two had no previous edits. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:22, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

• You da man, Tommy. Honestly, why the hell do some people feel the need to destroy this place? In any event, thanks again. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:26, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

No idea. I do my best to help preserve it myself. Keep it up (: —Tommy2010 01:28, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome message.

I only ever post revisions when I see something that I know is wrong. Generally this is because I'm doing research for a dictionary project, [the OEDILF], as now. I'm about to post something in the discussion page (and also possibly on the article) of potassium sulfite. JimInRoses (talk) 20:58, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

On Opha Mae Johnson.

I do not see why you removed the prayer to Chesty Puller that I typed on her page. That is a prayer that marines say quite often. As a marine I know that every night I say, "Dear baby Chesty Puller, lying there in your fortified sandbag cradle, if you see Opha Mae up there, punch that bitch sqare in the mouth. It was funny at first, but now those damn females are overrunning and ruining the corps. Amen and Semper Fi."

Do you have a source? Otherwise, it just looks a bit unencyclopedic. Thanks, —Tommy2010 14:39, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Good to go, I'll work on finding one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.64.143.58 (talk) 14:41, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Beware!

Vandalboxes are on the way out as strict users go on the prowl for MFD's. Yours may be next, and there really isn't any stopping of it. Just 2 let U know... 2D Maestro ^{Immune Diplomat} 01:03, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

MfD's=Miscellany for Deletion. Random userpages, such as vandalspaces or secret pages, are often nominated to be deleted in the manner of an AfD (Article for Deletion). User:Mono has of late been trying to get rid of vandalspaces since they really aren't particularly constructive. So if yours gets nominated, don't say you weren't warned. 2D Maestro ^{Immune Diplomat} 11:19, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Oh I couldn't care less. I've unprotected my userpage for that reason ... let the kiddies vandalize that, I think it's more fun in a way (: —Tommy2010 12:15, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Concerning Tracy, California

Hello,

I've protected the Tracy, California article because of an edit war occurring on the article. I suggest that you and the everyone else involved generate a discussion on the talk page to reach a consensus on the content of the article. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. If a consensus is reached, let me know and I'll be glad to unprotect the article. Icestorm815 • Talk 04:21, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

The problem has been focused on an IP continuously removing a paragraph. I've left a note on their talk page. —Tommy2010 12:23, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Johnson County, Kansas

Thanks for helping to fight the constant vandalism here. Don't know if you saw the previous vandalism; while the third sentence is simply wrong, I didn't know about the second sentence, and the first was quite surprising, since I've only been there twice :-) Nyttend (talk) 05:05, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Marcin Szyszkowski

Thanks for reverting my removal of that comment. Camdan, who wrote it, was upset that I had tagged the article for speedy deletion while he was still working on it. We resolved the issue on my talk page, and everything is fine now. He requested that I remove the conversation on my talk page, and I decided to remove his post on the article talk page as well, since it is not even relevant anymore. By the way, I saw that you used Huggle for that edit. I just got rollback rights, but when I try to download Huggle, I get an error message that says, "Huggle has encountered a problem and needs to close." Do you have any idea what the problem might be? 95j (talk) 19:19, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

I undid my edit so his comments are still there, but I can remove them again. I didn't know if you were being sarcastic, I don't get many people who say "thanks for reverting my edit!" haha. Anyways, regarding Huggle. Yes. Um first you need to just download it (version .096) and then you also need to create a custom .css page on your skin. You can view and copy mine here: User:Tommy2010/huggle.css.. just replace Tommy2010 with your username and save the page with the content. Then try and I think you should be good to go.. —Tommy2010 19:24, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Also, a word of caution since you're just starting out. Remember to take your time as you get used to the program and be careful. Just from some experience ;) —Tommy2010 19:28, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Huh...Even I can't figure out what I was trying to say in that first sentence. I guess what I meant was, thanks for reverting your mistake. I'll try your suggestions about Huggle and see what happens. 95j (talk) 19:36, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Danny Davis/Dan Marsh

You reverted my edit. However, you have wrong information...Danny Davis, is my uncle, my mother's brother and his real name is not Dan Marsh he was born and birth certificate names him Daniel Davis. Please make the change. He was just inducted into the hall of fame last month and the browser searches are endless for him.

Bain MAttox inaccurate and Pt. Vyas? where is he

For one thing he is flat LYING. Count Kellam ~ has never studies ICM. Ever. he has played with Pt. Anand Vyas and you have blocked his article even though it exists here http://www.evri.com/person/vyas-anand-0x5e966 and here http://www.evri.com/person/pt.vyas-0x15f9f9 and here www.koobster.us

You guys need to remedy this ~ you are losing so much credibility by LOCKING Pt. Vyas's Article here in INDIA where ICM is born. And by calling Kellam a CLASSICALLY trained Guitarist? Wrong~ change this please to the correct, and we will stop our War against Wikepedia if not. We will win and are, either way.

I have aboslutely no idea what you're talking about, and as far as I can tell I haven't even reverted any of your edits. —Tommy2010 22:25, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm at a loss for this as well. I think they may have had an edit conflict when someone was putting a BLPPROD on it, misread the intention of the ProD, and otherwise got in a flummox. Anyway, can't see the connection between that and you, Tommy. But I do agree about the combatative attitude and will be watching closely after I've been to bed and got up again in 6 hours ;) – B.hotep •talk• 23:00, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Reverted my edit due to "non neutrality"

I don't even edit WP regularly, but do things like this when I notice them.

Before my undo: Capitalism is an economic system of giving and taking; mostly taking. Its a system where the rich prosper; while the poor and middle class suffer. The middle class is fading. Capitalism is ruining our economy. in which the means of production are privately owned; supply, demand, price, distribution, and investments are mostly set by the private sector and market forces rather than by

After: Capitalism is an economic system in which the means of production are privately owned; supply, demand, price, distribution, and investments are mostly set by the private sector and market forces rather than by

Now, if you're going to say that I was wrong for undoing that change, I don't know what to think about WP.

BTW, Saddam is now mentioned in that first paragraph.

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

CRAP. That was a mistake. —Tommy2010 01:16, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

the Saddam thing was because someone added so it read: Capitalism is an economic system of giving and taking; mostly taking. Its a system where the rich prosper; while the poor and middle class suffer. The middle class is fading. Capitalism is ruining our economy. (because of a president with the middle name Saddam)

...or something to that effect.--Blackraven1425 (talk) 01:23, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

I've seen notes there that say you've removed the edit for "deletion without comment". I do not see a place in the interface to add my comments -- do you want it on the talk page for the article?

Tommy learneded a new word

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: Hello, I am not sure what trouting means, but certainly, I mean well! You deleted my correction in the Pastrami entry. In particular, I call the the Armenian pronunciation bastourma a bastardization. Perhaps, corruption is a better word and it arises because in Armenian the sound -ı- is absent and whenever it appears in Turkish words borrowed in Armenian, it is substituted by -u- or -ou-; the same holds for locations, Hamamlı->Hamamlou, Khojalı->Khojalou etc. By the way, by bastirma/bastourma a variety of things are recognized in the Caucasus. Georgians have a dish named bastourma and it bears no resemblance to bastourma/pastrami. Azeris call the kabab marinade bastirma for the following reason; bastirma comes from bastirmaq - to bury in, in this case spices, marinades, etc. Hope this helps to see why I think the article is not entirely correct.

(Regarding this edit) Hm. I saw bastardization and (apart from seeing it as a curse word- which I now know it's not) it didn't seem to fit there. Thanks for the note, appreciated. Tommy²⁰¹⁰_message 18:31, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
