Glad you liked it.

I have GOT to archive that cookie. Every time I see it, I am STRONGLY COMPELLED to go eat a cookie in that other world where the revert button doesn't work.- Sinneed 04:04, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

User pages


Hi Dr Clutch, when adding to a user talk page we put a new section at the bottom of the page. Click the new section tab at the top and it is done by the system.--Charles (talk) 07:37, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


I also put it here, which is accessed through my user page.

To archive stuff off your talk page, you would either use one of the archive bots, which all hate me, so I don't use them... or:

  • Make a link like this one: User talk:Mr. Wayne/archive 1 (in fact, you can use that one)
  • Open an edit window for your talk page, and copy the content you want to archive
  • Open an edit window by following the red link for the archive
  • Paste in the stuff you want to archive
  • Save the archive
  • Check it to be sure it actually includes all the stuff you want to archive
  • Delete the stuff off the talk page that you archived
  • Save the shrunken talk page

Voila, an archive.

Most folk put a list of archives on their talk page, somewhere, or have one of the bots do it. It seems to me that we are supposed to keep each archive under 120K or something but I don't remember. :)

Other people have no trouble with the bots. The bots love them, and they love the bots. :) 01:26, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

You may safely answer me here, I am watching for a while, just in case you do.
Help:Archiving a talk page - this talks a lot about archiving, the bit about bots is Help:Archiving a talk page#Automated archival. Hope that helps. :) - Sinneed 01:36, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
Thank you very much! The ArbiterѪѪ 01:49, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, Mr Wayne, Bobby Boulders is lost in the mists of my bad memory. Bishonen | talk 15:25, 16 October 2009 (UTC).

Ah well, I'll look somewhere else. Thanks anyway. The ArbiterѪѪ 01:49, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:21, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Well, Mr. SineBot, I think you are malfunctioning. The Arbiter 22:22, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm

I have an odd ringing in my ears, and there is a smell of fish. *wanders away confused* :) - Sinneed 04:05, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. I gave you something to make you feel better. The Arbiter 00:36, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Please Help Me, Arbiter!

I am a sixteen-year-old teenage boy, suffering from overprotective parents. I cannot escape from their crushing grasp over my life, and I am confused. They made me spend my entire summer studying for standardized tests, and I was not allowed to play basketball with my friends. Whenever I have feelings for a girl, they excoriate me until I am whimpering alone on the floor. I am also a Chinese immigrant, and I am ashamed of my country's communist heritage. Please guide me sir. 99.21.57.158 (talk) 01:37, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm, so how can I help you? The Arbiter 02:05, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Edit banner.

If you would like an edit banner for your talk page, edit Special:MyTalk/Editnotice. Mine is therefore at user talk:Sinneed/Editnotice. - Sinneed 02:54, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Apparently you're not interested in fried chicken or the template that I JUST IMPROVED!!! Come one, eat it. The Arbiter 13:57, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
My very large[neutrality is disputed] roomate ate the chicken, as he (it) is not herbivorous.[citation needed]- Sinneed 01:07, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
Awwww man... The Arbiter 01:08, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Your rollback request

Hello The Arbiter, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 02:14, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
