Welcome
There you are, now your discussion page won't show as red either!
Seriously, thanks for improving the Newgrounds audio section, it looks much better now. I too am skeptical that Tom put the Audio section in primarily to avoid copyright issues- I will ask him!
If you are looking for something to do, maybe you would like to start a page for Tom Fulp. No, I don't know where a list of templates are, if I find out I will let you know- for now I go into somewhere where one is being used and copy it! Best Wishes,
IceDragon64 (talk) 16:49, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
- I should get into the habit of responding. I'll be contributing to Tom Fulp and Newgrounds whenever I come up with something worth adding to the articles. Until then, war on vandalism as always. LedgendGamer (talk) 07:28, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
RE: Abomination of Desolation
kriegerdwm: Yes, I believed I removed a link which was not hot (i.e., "Page Not Found")- if not this, then something else which I have no idea - perhaps insead of saying "Most" I may have changed some to "Some" but whatever it was I really can't find it - no biggie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kriegerdwm (talk • contribs) 08:27, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, are you 69.229.122.167? I took that to be an edit by an anonymous IP, and I saw an entire see also section missing under the diff, so I undid it, then revised my position when I saw it was added again then removed. If you had left an edit summary and made the edit with Kriegerdwm, I probably would have ignored it. Like you said, no biggie, the article lived. -- LedgendGamer (talk) 08:35, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Thank you RE: Bylaw enforcement officer
Thank you for your efforts to revert vandalism on the Bylaw enforcement officer page. Large chunks of data appear to be vandalized through removal randomly. --Sonixelectronix (talk) 03:15, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 02:08, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
- I should start thanking people for protecting my user/talk pages. Thank you for spreading kindness. —LedgendGamer 03:26, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for setting me straight about messing with the discussion page. As you can see, I'm new to this. Cheers mate Djadvance (talk) 05:22, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
- Finally, a polite new user. I'll give you a proper welcome template in a few minutes. —LedgendGamer 05:24, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Dark orbit
now this has been speedied and prodded and deprodded, it is time for you to consider whether to propose Dark orbit for WP:AfD. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:02, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- From here, it's starting to look similar to throwing the baby out of the bathwater. In addition to that, I'd probably come across as a bit of a dick if I jumped straight to AfD. I'll give anyone who wants to take a stab at the article a day to do something about the recommendations I made on the talk page, then I'll strongly consider sending it to AfD. Out of curiosity, why did you replace the speedy tag with a prod instead of simply adding a prod? As far as I know, online games count under {{db-web}}. —LedgendGamer 21:43, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- The policy I am considering comes from WP:WEB with: Web content includes, but is not limited to, blogs, Internet forums, newsgroups, online magazines and other media, podcasts, webcomics, web hosts, and web portals. Any content which is distributed solely on the Internet is considered, for the purposes of this guideline, as web content. I considered this to be a game or software to which A7 does not apply. Also WP:GAMECRUFT applies. The AfD has an advantage of giving people the opportunity to explain their arguments. If you are the only one who wants to delete this, it will be revealed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:45, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- "But is not limited to". AfD it is. —LedgendGamer 01:05, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Why was this page marked for deletion? OtisJimmyOne 01:09, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
- I marked Platipig for G3 for the following reasons, in reverse order for some reason:
- The log shows that it's already been deleted for G3.
- Teamtaycob, the article's creator, has a record of creating unconstructive pages.
- A quick google search made it clear that Platipigs don't exist. If it existed, there would be large amounts of news coverage, due to the discovery of a new species of Platypus-Pig hybrid.
- That answer your question at all? —LedgendGamer 01:13, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, Mistake on my part I reverted the removal of the tag and the page was deleted. That result I found on Google was a blog which is not good enough. My Apologies, OtisJimmyOne 01:23, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
- No problem, I was bored anyways and I enjoy answering questions. —LedgendGamer 01:33, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Thermometer
hey stop vandalising my fun on thermometer dude its just fun we dont mean to destroy the universe or anything we're just on crack atm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.196.145.72 (talk) 21:11, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
Image deletion
Strictly speaking, that image probably doesn't fit any speedy deletion criterion, although some may find it qualified under a more liberal interpretation of the CSD. My main justification for the deletion was a mixture of Ignore All Rules and the Snowball clause. To answer your question, you would – in all likelihood – not have been able to tag that image for speedy deletion and have an administrator that was judiciously following the criteria delete it. The safest bet in the future would be to list such images at FfD, where they will be deleted when the time is over (perhaps sooner, as in this case). ÷seresin 03:22, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
- I was watching your talk page, you know. Anyways, that answers my question. Happy editing. —LedgendGamer 03:27, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
A Barnstar
For your quick save on the article Coast Guard this 27th day of May, 2009. It was definitely a righteous bust. I wish we didn't have to spend the time we do correcting anonymous posters vandalism. Thanks again for your help. Cuprum17 (talk) 23:04, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
- Ironically, if we didn't have vandals, I'd be out of a job here. Thanks. —LedgendGamer 23:10, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Newgrounds
I like and totally support your work on NG.
IceDragon64 (talk) 13:53, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, but I don't think I'm doing nearly as good a job as I should be. Content writing doesn't seem to be my strong point. You're doing well, too; the encyclopedia (in my opinion) needs good writers more than it needs good vandal fighters. —LedgendGamer 21:37, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
Difference between G1 and G3
Hi there LegendGamer, nice work with NPP. Just saw you make a slight mistake at Matias trinidad, while the page does meet the criteria for speedy deletion, you used G1 which doesn't apply. G1 refers to a page which is pure gibberish (i.e. a random string of letters such as "gfdgffdg"), and doesn't apply to pages which are nonsense (e.g. "I was born in 1201 and am 12 years old and fought in the civil war"). For pages which are so clearly nonsense they could never be true, use G3. Also, G1 doesn't apply to bad spelling (so a page which contained "i was brn ni 1201 and am 12 yrs old and thought in teh civil wra" still comes under G3 and not G1). Anyway, keep up your work - Kingpin13 (talk) 06:47, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
- Although I can't remember exactly what that particular page contained, I know that - at the time - I was in a mindset of G1 meaning no meaningful content or history, in addition to patent nonsense. I think I interpreted no meaningful content to mean something that's clearly complete bogus. Thanks, I'll try to remember that and stick to {{db-hoax}} from now on. —LedgendGamer 21:07, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
- Not a problem, everybody makes the mistake due to the wording of G1, including me and even some admins ;) - Kingpin13 (talk) 21:17, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
Wonderfully efficient response!
In a mere 1 minute, 8 seconds you reverted the vandalism I made. I commend you for the amazingly rapid response. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.62.108.113 (talk) 04:59, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- To be honest, I spent a good 15 seconds staring at it, wondering what you were up to. Either way, you should probably stick to more constructive methods of doing experiments with vandalism in the future. Happy editing. —LedgendGamer 06:23, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Rollback
I have 1 granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. –Juliancolton | Talk 01:41, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. —LedgendGamer 01:50, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Not assuming good faith, Biting newcomers
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we must insist that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. I noticed the message you recently left to Perdidymis13. Please remember: do not bite the newcomers. If you see someone make a common mistake, try to politely point out what they did wrong and how to correct it. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pinkgirl9595 (talk • contribs) 21:35, June 15, 2009 (UTC)
- I'll admit that I was a little harsh, but I feel that - given some of the user's edits - a warning was in order. Probably not a level 4im warning, but a warning nonetheless. We don't need policy shortcuts like WP:POO (which was recently speedied for G3), and some of the edits were pure vandalism. Childish play does not belong on Wikipedia. As for biting, there is a line between vandalism and newcomers trying to edit, a line that sometimes doesn't exist or is extremely blurred. I will never respect immaturity, and will always be tempted to bite those who can't conduct themselves in a mature manner. By the way, I would have appreciated it if you had written out that message instead of using templates. I've marked your comment as unsigned (please, sign your posts!). —LedgendGamer 23:11, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Unfortunately, I was rushing and I've used templates instead of writing messages, and I forgot to sign my post as well. I understand what you meant by stating that this particular editor was acting immature and being disruptive, but however, I'm not completely certain that this user was purely vandalizing Wikipedia with bad faith, because they might not have understood all the rules of participating in editing Wikipedia. Pinkgirl9595 (talk) 01:53, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- You're right, pure bad faith in this case would be a bit of a stretch. I probably shouldn't have jumped to level 4im for what seems, in retrospect, a user's version of experimenting. —LedgendGamer 02:24, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
Come on
It's only funny if you let it stay for five minutes THEN revert it. Come on lighten up. --The professor with the tinted glasses (talk) 23:17, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'll ignore your fun until you target anything remotely important or frequently viewed, then WP:AIV it is. There's a line where fun becomes vandalism, and for many users, you crossed it a few edits ago. —LedgendGamer 23:23, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Removed speedy deletion tag: Preeti Sahay
Hi LedgendGamer! I just wanted to inform you that I removed the speedy deletion tag you placed on Preeti Sahay- because: the article makes a credible claim of importance or significance. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. decltype (talk) 05:58, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- I was reluctant to tag that in the first place, it was more of an A1 than an A7. I expected it to be contested anyway, especially after the article was expanded after the tag was placed. Mistakes happen. —LedgendGamer 20:55, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
Peter Costello
um why should I stop? I was removing subtle vandalism and improper synthesis of sources. the other user implied this politician was deliberately manipulating Wikipedia. LibStar (talk) 02:21, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry for the confusion, that comment was almost entirely directed at the other user. Don't worry too much about it. Just remember to take it to a talk page if he keeps it up, and it's generally a good idea to avoid using words like vandalism when dealing with stuff like this. Happy editing. —LedgendGamer 02:27, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- ok. no problems, I think for purposes of sufficient warnings, the word vandalism has to be used in order to report it. this user has a pattern of vandalism. LibStar (talk) 02:29, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Random
Do you get paid? 74.236.100.95 (talk) 05:41, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- No. By the way, you're not fooling anyone by not signing your insults. I'm still debating giving you {{uw-npa3}}. —LedgendGamer 05:55, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
R.E "Why don't you get an account?"
I had an account years ago which has long been abandoned, but I find IP editing to be less stressful. Also, as strange as this sounds, I think it's more private this way - even though it technically isn't. 124.185.196.182 (talk) 06:00, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- I suppose it would be less stressful, without worrying about stuff like watchlists and public image and whatnot. Mind, you sacrifice all the awesome tools like enhanced recent changes, twinkle, rollback, friendly, etc. Either way, it's your call. Happy editing. —LedgendGamer 06:04, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Automatic processing of your editor review
This is an automated message. Your editor review is scheduled to be closed on 21 June 2009 because it will have been open for more than 30 days and inactive for more than 7. You can keep it open longer by posting a comment to the review page requesting more input. Adding <!--noautoarchive--> to the review page will prevent further automated actions. End of line. DustyBot (talk) 10:00, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Blanking
please do, when I attempted to delete, I got taken to the website. I did what I normally do in this situation, and tried to edit the url, but couldn't even see it. Basically I blanked because I couldn't see how to delete this one. Any suggestions? jimfbleak (talk) 07:00, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, so you couldn't delete it for some reason? That's odd. I do know that Gogo Dodo managed to delete it the first time, according to the log. I was merely talking about restoring the G11 header, I'm not even an admin. I'm willing to bet Gogo Dodo would be willing to explain how he managed to delete it. When you do figure out how to delete it, you should probably salt it as well - the title isn't even encyclopedic. I'll start a thread on his talk page. —LedgendGamer 07:08, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't do anything unusual to delete it. If I followed my usual process, I just clicked delete from the revision history list. My usual process on deleting CSDs is to read the article, click the history to see if some other article was overwritten and could be reverted, and if not click the delete. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:32, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Protect
Miley Stewart needs to be protected. Too much vandalism. Do you know any online admins?--The Legendary Sky Attacker 06:56, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
- The only admin I can pretend to know is J.delanoy, and he hasn't edited in a few hours. It looks like our best bet is WP:RPP. I'll make a request. —LedgendGamer 07:02, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
On the speedy removal of my edit of Upper Breakish.
Have you been to Skye, or indeed Breakish? well I am a resident of this mighty metropolis and I am sickened that your claims that my knowledge based off everyday life here is wrong! (I'm just joshin' ya, well done on that speedy fixing, but it IS a rather bland article. Then again, Breakish is a rather bland village, there honestly is not that much you could say about it apart from its a village on Skye. We also dont have a shop, no joke) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.113.245 (talk) 23:17, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
- Nice edit. Sadly (sometimes), here, accuracy comes before humor. I'm contemplating archiving that edit in my list of humorous edits that I reverted. I wish there was more we could do for articles on hamlets, but almost all of it violates WP:V. Have fun. —LedgendGamer 02:58, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Hey, Umm about Orianthi
Shes Really Famous. I just want an article to be created about her so I can find out information on her, and what albums she has released. I think only one. I would like to buy one. Sorry, I can't make the article. I'm not that talented or knowledgable. So what am I to do?--Sickened (talk) 02:34, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- If you haven't actually written the article in question and can't write it, your only options are to plead your case with an experienced writer (not me), possibly go to the relevant wikiproject (WikiProject Musicians), or visit Wikipedia:Requested Articles. The last option is probably the best one, but it's also the slowest. I'd talk to the wikiproject first. Good luck. —LedgendGamer 02:40, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks Dude. And Chyeah that's my IP. I'll do that and just go to a fansite or something for now. Thank You and Have a Nice Day! --Sickened (talk) 02:44, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
DerekLee
I am sorry that I made a typo mistake in my entry that got deleted.(Rumdul)I should have typed rumdul not ramdul. I've recreated a new one recently call rumdul I had added the reference too. Sorry.
DerekLee —Preceding unsigned comment added by DerekLee (talk • contribs) 08:19, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'm sorry if my move log entry sounded a bit harsh, but I was frustrated. Actually, it might interest you to know that Ramdul has been redirected to Annonaceae. Happy editing. —LedgendGamer 08:23, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

To save you time [sic]
Rather than spend time asking dozens of people which timezone they're in, can I point you towards WP:HAU? – iridescent 20:47, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- Dammit. I made a template and everything. Thanks, I never noticed that. —LedgendGamer 20:50, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- No problem – HAU is sometimes a bit out of date, but there are generally enough people on there in any given area. If you need a more detailed breakdown of exactly which times someone is active (editors who are only on at weekends, for example), tossing their names into WikiChecker will give you neat little diagrams of exactly how active they are at any given time/day. – iridescent 20:56, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Translate
See the translation it makes no sense ---Scarce |||| Talk -Contrib.--- 07:32, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Education
You can't even spell the word 'legend' correctly. Perhaps you should submit yourself to the nearest educational establishment of relative repute for the purpose of attending a basic english class. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.218.81 (talk) 05:25, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
- As I have stated in my userpage, I am fully aware that legend only contains one D. The extra D is fully intentional. Perhaps, before insulting me, you should do a little reading. If I wanted to change my username and cover my tracks, I would have done so long ago. —LedgendGamer 05:30, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Deleting a page
Where are the instructions on how delete a page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.42.129.228 (talk) 00:28, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
- Pages can be deleted through three methods. Administrators, of course, can ignore these, but there are three core ways to request deletion of a page. The first is speedy deletion. This is a selection of criteria (for example, copyright violations, pure vandalism, author request, etc) that a page can be deleted under. WP:CSD gives more information on this. The second method is proposed deletion. This is done by adding {{subst:prod|<your concern>}} to any article. When a PROD (proposed deletion tag) is left alone for 7 days, the page will be deleted. WP:PROD gives more information on that.
- The final method for deleting pages is a deletion discussion (WP:XfD), but it's much more complicated. Some of the discussions work in different ways; Articles for Deletion, for example, requires you to create a subpage, which you can't do. Mind, given that you were attempting to blank redirects, you can take a look at WP:RfD. If the community decides to keep a page that you nominated for deletion, you can't do anything about it. Re-nominating a page will most likely result in the same action being taken, and you will eventually just be blocked for disruptive editing, something you don't want.
- The only other way you can get a page deleted is to ask an administrator yourself, but it's not a good idea unless you have a good reason for avoiding all the other methods. Good luck. —LedgendGamer 01:32, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
Success
YES! Orianthi got a page! It's because Michael Jackson died, and they started to mention her on the news. Anyway, thank you. Sickened (talk) 01:12, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
- Excellent. That's great to hear. Congratulations. —LedgendGamer 23:55, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
Beloved
I got a message from you about a change I made to the "Beloved" article... I don't think I've ever MADE a change to ANY article, so I'm not sure you got the recipient of that message right? Might want to check on it. SJM —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.228.192.208 (talk) 01:29, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
- This edit came from your IP. IPs are frequently reassigned, and someone other than you might have made the edit. Looking at the page history, though, there is no doubt that the edit in question came from your IP. It just may have not come from you. If you know you didn't make an edit, the warning isn't intended for you and you can safely ignore it. The problem stems from IPs being anonymous and, in some cases, very frequently reassigned. —LedgendGamer 22:41, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
Please stop
You are removing my contribution to the Violists page. I hope you will stop this destructive action at once. Thank you.
- I have explained myself several times. Going to my talk page will not change anything - the list is technically a disambiguation page, and we can't have disambiguation pages with red links. I remove red links on sight on other disambiguation pages, and I will do so here. Creating the article will solve your problem. —LedgendGamer 05:46, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
Excuse me, but YOU are the vandal
I have seen the posts on your talk page, and it is evident that you are vandalizing the entries of several of users of Wikipedia. You have said that my problem would be sorted out by creating "the article," yet when I corrected the information contained on the page of Ashan Pillai--there had not been any sort of references to the claims on that page--you continued disrupting by erasing my corrections. Either you or the creator of that Pillai page was allowed to mixed truth with untruths, and finally someone placed references there. Yet when I am editing pages, you immediately erase my material. This is going to get nasty, because whether you like it or not, I am allowed to use this open-source page.
- Vandalism: Any deliberate attempt to disrupt or harm the encyclopedia or its workings. This is getting amusing. You seem to have no idea of what vandalism is and isn't. Correcting incorrect changes and discreetly fixing mistakes is not vandalism. Reverting vandalism is not vandalism. Every single entry on my talk page complaining about me "vandalizing" their edits was made by a vandal or by someone who was confused and mistaken. In the case of the confused people, I explained and eliminated their confusion, and they left happy.
- I have never edited Ashan Pillai - you can see for yourself in the page history for the article. I want nothing to do with the article. The only problem I have with your edits is that you insist on adding a link to a nonexistent page (Eriq Koontz) to a list of articles contained within the encyclopedia about violin players. If an article does not exist (or is not about a violin player, but that's not the issue), it cannot be added to the list.
- You also seem to be confused as to what "the article" is. I thought that it was clear, so I wasn't specific. The article I was referring to that needs to be created before you add it to the list is Eriq Koontz. This is why I reverted edits like this that you made.
- I would suggest that you read WP:VAND. It will eliminate your confusion as to me "vandalizing". Furthermore, I never called you a vandal. The level 1 warning I gave you assumes good faith.
- As for getting nasty, the Administrator's Noticeboard is located here. Have fun. You have taken this much farther than it needed to go. While I apologize for being a bit of a dick (I should have reverted the edit an hour or so after you made it instead), I will not hesitate to defend my position. —LedgendGamer 03:14, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Re: art portal vandalism section on Newgrounds article
Yeah that's a good point, we don't want to give them attention. Shall I edit it so that it has no mention of the group in question, e.g. "a fairly insignificant Newgrounds spam group took over the account of Egoraptor" etc., that will give them the impression that they aren't really much at all.
Tell me what you think Eewawoowa (talk) 10:53, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
UPDATE: I have edited it to this, just revert it again if you still strongly disagree with me.
- OK. I removed the line about insignificant, just opting to not mention their significance or name them at all. We don't want to bluntly insult them, it's unprofessional. I would prefer to use a more reliable reference than a forum post (if anyone else notices they'll probably wind up removing it), but it will do until (if) we can nail down something better. Since Tom seems to intend to keep it quiet, it'll just have to stay that way.
- It might still wind up getting removed at some point in the future; eventually it comes down to a debate about whether a single attack is important enough to get added to the article. If the article ever makes it to featured status, the section will probably be removed outright anyways.
- Thanks for being reasonable and logical. I'm sick of wiki-drama at the moment. —LedgendGamer 23:15, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Missed Vandalism Undo
Sorry about that, I get the dumb captcha whenever I try to undo large removals, and as a result it take a couple of edits to undo it all :S. Once they autoconfirm me then this won't continue to happen. Ajraddatz Talk Contributions 03:50, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- You're fast, I was right about to leave a message on your talk page pointing out the importance of checking all of a user's edits. I checked your edit count, so I was about to welcome you as well. I have two pieces of advice for you. First, there's a different way to revert edits than undoing all of them individually. If you click on the timestamp of the most recent 'good' version of the page and then click on the edit button, you'll be able to save the old version of the page, which effectively reverts all of the edits since then. I used that trick before I got a proper anti-vandalism tool.
- Second, when you're autoconfirmed (just 2 more days of waiting), you can install Twinkle. It basically mimics the rollback function (with a bunch of other useful stuff), which is really helpful. It's worth taking a look at, at least. The only downside is that it doesn't work in Internet Explorer.
- Happy editing! —LedgendGamer 03:58, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- By the way, it's generally a really bad idea to use a template for your signature. There's more detail here. —LedgendGamer 04:00, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, thanks. Just so you know, I do know how to undo properly, but I am not used to being not autoconfirmed. With every edit that I undo, I first check the history to make sure that I don't need to undo a number of revisions at once. Unfortunately, with the captcha (er... spellcheck please), once I am done typing in the confirmation the IP has edited again, or someone has undone it :S. I do actually have wiki experience, in fact quite a lot of it, and just stop by Wikipedia to undo vandalism (see my userpage). As for the templated sig, it is a personal preference. Thanks,

- Oh, so you edit on Wikia. Okay. I'm sorry for the confusion, it's unusual to see someone with 57 edits going on about substantial wiki experience. —LedgendGamer 04:29, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- Hehe, I am also use to my 15,000 edits following me around :). As for the templated sig, thanks for telling me about it. It is now changed. Have a great day, Ajraddatz (Talk - Contributions) 04:34, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

- Hey, you stole my admin intervention report :P. Good counter-vandalism work, by the way. You edit conflict me a lot, and that is a good thing :) Ajraddatz (Talk - Contributions) 04:58, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
- Huh, it just so happens that I was wondering earlier today how many people I've edit-conflicted whilst vandal-fighting. It's good to see that you're helping out too. Why not go for Rollback? It took me until 3500 edits to stop being stubborn about it, but I'm really confident that no admin in their right mind would deny you, particularly given the wikia experience you have. It'll also let you use Huggle (which I'm still being stubborn about). —LedgendGamer 05:04, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
- I actually just requested rollback. Heh, you just got another one that I was going for XD Ajraddatz (Talk - Contributions) 05:09, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
- By the way, when it's granted, you might want to take a look at User talk:Gracenotes/rollback.js. It lets you use a summary with your rollbacks (if you want to). I love using it, for the stuff that I would normally use the regular rollback option on Twinkle for. Mind, I can't guarantee that it'll work on vector. —LedgendGamer 05:16, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

- Hey, I have downloaded Huggle, but all I get is a white screen in the middle where the revisions should be. Everything else works fine; can you think of what the problem is or will I need to ask around on the help IRC channel. Thanks, Ajraddatz (Talk - Contributions) 21:39, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, I'm the absolute worst person to ask for Huggle help. I've never used it myself and probably won't for a long time, and I've never even seen it working outside of the screenshot on the documentation page. You'll have to ask someone else, either on IRC or the Huggle talk page. —LedgendGamer 21:42, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

T0sh.0
I agree that it's not entirely impossible as a search term. I do think it's unlikely, and I do know that it contains a completely inappropriate version in its history that can still be linked back to. Mind if I revert your redirect and I'll create a new one once this version is deleted? --Onorem♠Dil 05:08, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Wikiout
First Annual Wikiout. In order to give our vandalism, new page and spam patrollers a well deserved day off, it is suggested that all edit patrollers take a 1 day vacation from editing Wikipedia, on Thursday, April 1, 2010. (No, this is NOT an April Fools Joke) Go out, enjoy the spring weather, and give your wrist a break from using that mouse! Please pass this message along to other patrollers by adding {{subst:User:Wuhwuzdat/Wikiout}} ~~~~ to their talk pages |

- Thank you someone finally noticed. I have been tagging that article for "edit warring" in my edit summaries hours ago. Could you please finally protect it. Thanks again.--HoppingHare (talk) 08:13, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
- Alas, I am not an administrator. That's why I made the threat about WP:AIV and WP:AN3RR. If I could, I would fully protect the article for a week and force a discussion, but I can't. —LedgendGamer 08:15, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
- It's OK. But thanks for intervening. I hope that other user would stop now cause I'm kinda tired of undoing that article.--HoppingHare (talk) 08:17, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

- Thanks Ledgend for intervening. It seems that HoppingHare is very interested in adding "Political Butterfly" on the Wikipedia page for that politician. I tried to clean it as best I could, but he's persistent. Kindly report the edit war. I'm sure that will resolve who among us is engaged in vandalism. Again, thanks!--GiannaManiego
- It takes two to fight. Both of you will be included in the report, despite the fact that the form seems to be designed for one editor. —LedgendGamer 08:48, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks again!. Let's keep Wikipedia clean.--GiannaManiego —Preceding undated comment added 08:51, 13 February 2010 (UTC).
- Okay, the report is in. I advise both of you to immediately stop editing the article and turn to peaceful discussion on the talk page. When the report is filed and examined, if the two of you are still openly reverting each other, you will both most likely be blocked. I'll start a thread on the talk page, since the two of you also seem to be arguing over the content of the thread itself. Instead of deleting the other's posts, reply to them. I'm going to bed now because I need my sleep, like most humans. As the report has been filed, if the two of you are still fighting on the article or reverting talk page posts when an administrator notices, the result will most likely be a block. Leave the article as it is for now. —LedgendGamer 08:54, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Have you heard about that guy that is blanking page he did that to one of my pages. Nascar1996 (talk) 02:39, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

I am sorry
My recent destuction of the article Christian mythology was a mistake. I left my computer unattended and my delinquent 9 year old son came in and destroyed that beautiful article. Thanks for your polite message.
From-phil2324
- No permanent harm done. If you don't mind, I also reverted edits made by your account to Universe, English people, Virgin Islands and People of the United States. I would assume that they were all made by your son as well. That's why I generally log out if I'm going to leave the computer unattended.
- By the way, you can sign messages made to talk pages by typing ~~~~ after your message. This prevents bots (and users) complaining when they can't find a standard signature on your edits. Happy editing. —LedgendGamer 02:19, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
Vandals
Thanks for warning User talk:Gauravvraj after he vandalized my user page. What do I do if somebody keeps vandalizing? I issue warnings, but then what? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:33, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
- The next step after someone violates a level-4 warning (or when it becomes clear that it's a vandalism-only account) is to report them to WP:AIV. There are instructions on the page, but it can also be done much easier with Twinkle. —LedgendGamer 10:39, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

- You can talk to the deleting admin to request that he undelete the page, but as it was only an external link, it's not worth it. I'd suggest starting the article again in your userspace - possibly User:Yeratit/Ballymartin GAC or even just your userpage. If you want to see a layout of a page before you save it, you should instead use the preview button, directly next to the save button. This will prevent accidents. When you think the article (after being created in your userspace) is ready for article space, you can move it to article space or request a move either here or at WP:RM. —LedgendGamer 00:12, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Re:Betty Gamer
I did tag the article for A7, and I make it a point not to delete articles I tag for speedy deletion since I like to ensure that there is a check for the article in the form of someone else agreeing with the rational. However, almost right after I saved the article, some one else tagged Betty as csd G12, and since the article was thus edited by some one else to place a deletion tag I looked into the matter, agree the G12 rational, and axed it.

nicole wants people to know about her disorder. you deleting my post is very offending to her. im not the vandal here. there was no threats or anything. she asked me to post it and loved that i did. but u ruined everything and deleted it
Nataliejustine (talk) 06:16, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- First, naming a specific person in an article like Vagina Brain is almost always offensive, and you need to be very careful with it. Your article lacked both notability and reliable sources. Because you had nothing to confirm that the condition actually exists (and because of the tone of the article), it was a valid attack page.
- Second, I'm not the deleting administrator. The person that actually deleted the article was CambridgeBayWeather (Talk). If you have any actual issues with the article being deleted, go to him. —LedgendGamer 21:10, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
