You used my quote!

Thankyou! (note the lizard king has nothing to do with Jim Morrison. It was completely random), Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 19:41, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Just curious; where did you say that originally? --[midnight comet] [talk] 20:39, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Ironicly quoting a little robot from a children's movie, "Whoa." Abce2|TalkSign 05:43, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Hm? I said it somewhere in Javert's archives. Let me have a look. I didn't steal it from Wal- oh, I see what you mean. Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 16:57, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Here we go diff. It actually led to a Barnstar. Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 17:06, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Here, read the rest of the conversation too, [1]. "FINLAND!!!" is another good quote. Well, not really. Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 17:08, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Memories, memor- what, no I wasn't talking to myself, why would you say something like that?! :)Abce2|This isnot a test 05:22, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Barnstar

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
You are a great and extremely experienced vandal fighter, using the rollback tool to revert unproductive edits. Additionally, I like your "Wikipedian of the Month" program. Keep up the great work! Chevy Impala 2009 (Sign me!) 02:57, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
Amen too that. I remember working heavily to fight vandalism along with Midnight Comet two months ago.I've been rather busy but I'll be back. But Midnight Comet kept up the great work. Good Job:DSchnitzelMannGreek. 14:19, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
BTW, isn't the quote of the three day period a little overdue? Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 15:00, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Oops, I didn't get a chance to log on that day. I guess the quote that's there now will be on extra long. Cheers! --[midnight comet] [talk] 20:23, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Strange MFD. I'm still confused why that editor singled me out. You have any idea?Abce2|This isnot a test 21:21, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

←I certainly don't know. As you can see, its nomination almost caused me to blow a gasket. By the duck test, I'd say something was fishy/in bad faith. However, I wouldn't worry; I have no doubt it will close as keep, probably SNOW closure before 7 days is up. Strange business, this. The V-Man (Said · Done) 21:24, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Man, I've been impersonated by an electrical company in Australia, but this is even stranger.Abce2|This isnot a test 21:35, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
I find it strange that out of the 250+ guestbooks on that huge list, and probably a couple hundred others that aren't on the list, yours gets nominated for deletion. --[midnight comet] [talk] 00:06, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
I'm not even first or last on the list. It seems eriely like it wasn't random.Abce2|This isnot a test 00:30, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
Unless the user didn't know guestbooks existed, and they just happened to stumble upon yours. --[midnight comet] [talk] 00:34, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedian of the...

Hi Midnight Comet, I also want to start a program like yours. Could you please give me some advice? Chevy Impala 2009 (Sign me!) 00:46, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Pick users whom you've noticed that have been an excellent contributor. If in the future you can't think of any users, you can look at the recent changes. You're bound to find a few deserving editors. Cheers! --[midnight comet] [talk] 11:43, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
Since I had the short-lived RIUWSDHFSROT2½DP award system, and being a Czar, I decree myself qualified to give advice. Do NOT, under any circumstances go around selecting the first active user you see, otherwise your system will become devalued, and nobody will care about getting them. And make a decient template for the award, so people don't think it's a piece of worthless spam, and don't even respond to you, Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 15:08, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

On your quote

Considering that I am Batman, I am very offended by this "quote". Didn't you yourself display another quote with the words "WPISNOTCENSORED does not equate to WPNEEDLESSLYOFFENSIVE"? I will have you know that Adam West, most likely the portrayer being reffered to in the quote, was not the real Batman, merely an actor hired to portray a fictionalised version of him/me. If you require more evidence of my nocturnal alter-ego, please, don not hesitate to ask. Tut, tut...Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 15:18, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

My edit to your talk page

Hi Midnight Comet, I've just fixed your talk page archives. On 17 and 18 September, MiszaBot III and Misza's other archiving bots had a bug where it would add sections to archives without removing them from the main talk page. Therefore it duplicated some text at User talk:Midnight Comet/Archive 3, and because it filled that archive with duplicate text, it created archive 4 of your talk page which just contained one section that was already in archive 3. I've deleted archive 3 and adjusted the archive counter in MiszaBot's configuration on your talk page. Hope you don't mind. Graham87 07:04, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

WOTD

Wow, thanks so much. I first noticed your award when it was given to Moonriddengirl. It's quite an honor. I would have responded earlier, but I have been unusually busy at work. Thanks again, and best regards. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 15:12, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Come back!

We need you! Where have you been?! Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 19:38, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

~blushes~ Sorry I left unexpectedly, but I'm busy irl atm. I'm still going to try to edit a bit though. Cheers! --[midnight comet] [talk] 20:23, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Midnight Comet, when will you update the quote of the 3-day period? December21st2012Freak chat 20:58, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
I'm going to take a break from that for a little bit. Cheers! --[midnight comet] [talk] 21:00, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I think we're going to have to go back a bit to remove the vandalism on this - you just reverted one of my reverts. What a mess that page is. --NellieBly (talk) 21:22, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

That was an accident, sorry. I don't see any other vandalism. Cheers! --[midnight comet] [talk] 21:24, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
No worries! Fight the good fight... --NellieBly (talk) 21:27, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

~blushes~ Congrats, D2012F! To the next 5,300 edits! --[midnight comet] [talk] 00:11, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
That's my userbox. User:Spongefrog/Edit number award. Helpnnschlakter. BTW, does anybody know how to change the number to a variable, so you just enter in {{User:Spongefrog/Edit number award|Number here}}? No? Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 09:14, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
I changed it. So {{User:Spongefrog/Edit number award|0,000}} will produce:
0,000Your name here hereby uses his/her 0,000th edit to leave a note on Meaghan's talk page.

'ello. It's been awhile. I thought you may have left, with so many people I know leaving. Abce2|This isnot a test 16:04, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
It's great to see you again, Abce2! :) --[midnight comet] [contribs] 22:22, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey, why did you delete your page? And is it true your name will be cjanged?--Coldplay Expert 22:53, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

For personal reasons. It's true that my name will be changed, see WP:USURP. I'm going to recreate my page sometime after the rename. Cheers! --[midnight comet] [contribs] 22:56, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
Huh, I;ve never heard of a name "cjanged" :)Abce2|This isnot a test 00:07, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, it's a new process. See Wikipedia:Cjanging username and Wikipedia:Cjanging username/Usuroations. =P --[midnight comet] [contribs] 00:22, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I was typeing so fast I put a j in instead of an h :)--Coldplay Expert 10:15, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

That's okay :) --[midnight comet] [contribs] 11:55, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
O.o Meh, name changing... I'll try not to get confused. By the way, haven't messaged you in a looong time, sooo here I am. =D Netalarmtalk 01:46, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello, Netalarm! It's great to see you again!:) I just got back from a month long break a few days ago. In case you haven't seen the usurpation page, I'm getting renamed to "Meaghan". Cheers and hugs! --[midnight comet] [contribs] 01:49, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the barnstar, I like the colors--Coldplay Expert 10:00, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
You deserve it for all your vandal-fighting. :) Cheers! --[midnight comet] [contribs] 12:06, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Well thanks MC, hey why are you going to change your name?--Coldplay Expert 18:03, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Personal reasons I guess. It's something I've been contemplating for a while, since sometime before my break. Cheers! --[midnight comet] [contribs] 19:55, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
OK but will your user page and talk page still look the same?--Coldplay Expert 00:55, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
I might change the look of my talk page, I'm not sure yet. But my userpage will look different. I might even do a design like User:X!'s where it can change colour. Cheers! --[midnight comet] [contribs] 01:42, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for the barnstar! I'll ask Ale jrb about the igloo thing. --NellieBly (talk) 23:55, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem! You deserve it. :) I didn't think igloo would be marking your edits as "probable vandalism" for this long. I thought it would stop shortly after. (if I remember correctly this has happened with all the other users I accidentally reverted). Cheers, --[midnight comet] [contribs] 00:01, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
hello!--Coldplay Expert 22:57, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello! --Meaghan guess who :) 22:58, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
guess what im trying to get 3 articles to become GA's
That's great! Good luck with it. I'm not very experienced with article writing, but if you need any help, let me know. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 23:01, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
ill let you know if I need any help thanks!--Coldplay Expert 23:09, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

I do have a question can you tell me how to nominate an article for GA? the instructions are a little hazy.--Coldplay Expert 23:28, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

I'll simplify the WP:GAN instructions a little bit for you:
  1. Find the appropriate category on the GAN page. If you're not sure what category to use, add it to "Miscellaneous"
  2. Add {{subst:GAN|subtopic=name of the subsection on this page where the article is listed}} to your article's talk page
  3. Add # {{la|YOUR ARTICLE}} ~~~~ to the bottom of your section
Hope that cleared it up a bit. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 23:37, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Would the {{subst:GAN|subtopic=name of the subsection on this page where the article is listed}} look like this for the artical im nominateing?

{{History}} or like this: {{subst:GAN|History}} --Coldplay Expert 23:39, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

'ello old ... uh... friend. I couldn't think of anything else.Abce2|This isnot a test 23:43, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
It would be {{subst:GAN|History}}. And Abce2, I'm Midnight Comet. :) I was renamed recently. Cheers! --Meaghan guess who :) 23:48, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
I know that. That's why I put "old"(not relating to age) Abce2|This isnot a test 23:50, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, it just looked like you didn't know who I was. --Meaghan guess who :) 23:51, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

OK I just nominated it, thanks guys! Do you want to review it?--Coldplay Expert 00:02, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

I'd rather wait for someone else to review it. I've never reviewed one before, and I don't want to wrongfully pass/fail it or wrongfully put it on hold. But if you want, within the next few days, I can take a look at the WW2 article and give my opinion on it and some advice. --Meaghan guess who :) 00:13, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks! I have been working on it for a while and if it passes...Ill finally be able to say "I got the (insert article here which in this case is the ww2 article) to GA status!!!" And whats going on witht he spinnoff of the WOTD award? I always wanted to get one...--Coldplay Expert 00:19, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem! See User:Meaghan/Shining Stars for the spinoff. You may get one yourself some day :) Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 00:21, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Hmmm...this gives me an idea...Abce2|This isnot a test 00:23, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Cool, how do you manage all of the awards every day and week and month? and are you still designing the award's themselves? (I think Kat. aka Katerenka should get it first, dont tell anyone)--Coldplay Expert 00:24, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Well, it's not really that hard, as long as you keep track of the days; one per day; one every three days, ect. I'm still designing the award templates. I already awarded another user for today. Maybe another day. Sorry :( --Meaghan guess who :) 00:27, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Anyone have any ideas on how to improve the Rayman article. I know most stuff that's needed, but I may have missed something. Abce2|This isnot a test 00:29, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Maybe the Main series section could use some more info. --Meaghan guess who :) 01:57, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Sorry for the 20 Questions but Im soo curious. So how do you award people, like do you recive nominations and how do you judge people?--Coldplay Expert 00:31, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
There's no nominations, but users may suggest another user. Users I award are hardworking, kind to others, and helpful. If I've seen a user doing hard work, but don't know them too well, I review their contribs. --Meaghan guess who :) 01:57, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Hey, this might seem a little wierd but can I have the rights to the WOTD program? If you give it to me I would like to try to continue it?--Coldplay Expert 01:08, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Sure! I let another user start their own WOTD program. You may do the same. I won't move mine to your userspace, but you may start your own WOTD program. Cheers, --Meaghan guess who :) 01:57, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
I wasnt asking for you to move anything, I just wanted to sort of copy the award and start my own. Can I still copy the chart however, so that way I can keep track of who gets what?--Coldplay Expert 10:55, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Yes. --Meaghan guess who :) 11:47, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
