RFPP?

If this continues, do you think WP:RPP would be appropriate? ♫ IceUnshattered [ t ] 20:55, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Werdna did full-protect the pages last time... I suppose it might be prudent. Calvin 1998 (t·c) 21:05, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, that's why I was wondering...well, I'll see what happens. Thanks. ♫ IceUnshattered [ t ] 22:10, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Huggle question

Hi Calvin - I request your help in sorting a problem I'm having with Huggle, on which I've seen you are quite knowledgeable. I'm trying to open Huggle but as I sign-in I always get the message "Failed to load message files - no response." I don't know why it is doing that, since I have all the necessary software requirements. I don't know if User:S h i v a (Visnu)/huggle.css is setup properly or not. Please do advise. Thanks, Shiva (Visnu) 18:56, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

That means huggle tried to access the message files but got no response from the server. As to how to fix it, I have no idea. Calvin 1998 (t·c) 19:14, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I have a request!

Dear Calvin1998,

By now we have become well acquainted, me vandalizing Wikipedia and you stopping me. Yes, I thank you for keeping Wikipedia a reliable source of information for all. As you may know, the holidays are quickly approaching! My friend and I are big fans of you and your skillz, and I really wanted to get her a nice Hanukah present. I was wondering if you would please, please send me a message on Wikipedia just saying "Happy Hanukah Sarah" or something like that. And could you mention medicated cheese puffs as well? I would greatly appreciate it, and this message is not meant to be vandalism. I really would like to give her a letter, as we are your two biggest WikiFans. If you do, I may even stop vandalizing Robert Downey Jr.'s page (and thats a promise!). It will be no trouble at all for you to write three simple words (happy hanukah sarah), and you will prove your valor. You can even throw in some insults if you please. Thank you, from your #1 fan!

You refuse my simple offer, Calvin? Then let the Downdalism (That's Downey and vandalism put together) begin! If you continue to refuse, the halls of Wikiworld will feel the wrath!

hey why did u delete the addition to gunn high school

hey man, i go to gunn high, and i am only adding to the learning experience for people looking for gunn. Why would you delete a section about student life that is totally true? Cardinal5100 (talk) 02:38, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Original research. Calvin 1998 (t·c) 02:42, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, I reverted your edit to Wikipedia:Huggle/Config, Version 0.7.12 is still allowed because it is the last version that Gurch personally made, and with all of the new changes being made, it is being used as the "stable" version that works fine, because many of the other/newer versions have bugs in them are for some people they don't work at all (I'm getting all this from reading Wikipedia:Huggle/Feedback). Also Version 0.7.12 is still being heavily used See this. I apologize if you had another reason for disabling version 0.7.12, so feel free to revert me if necessary :). All the Best, --Mifter (talk) 03:51, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't notice that 0.7.12 is still heavily used (I was assuming that 0.7.12 was only still actively used on other language wikis). Calvin 1998 (t·c) 17:24, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Merry Christmas, Happy holidays :)

Merry Christmas! And enjoy your new year, too. Just wanted to stop by, thank you for cleaning up after me when I created destruction in my newbie days. Thanks, and again...enjoy your holidays :) [iceunshattered on public account, not at home] PublicIcyhyo (talk) 13:28, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
