This was an inappropriate edit. Cutting disruptive sigs back to a bare form is certainly appropriate; see example, below ;) *Your* sig is pretty borderline, so you should watch it.
Nice user page; I should know, I wrote the framework you're using to build it.
I don't see how you can call my signature disruptive at all (especially since I've had an admin's approval for it), never minding that monstrosity. Maybe you can do what SatuSuro didn't and explain why it is borderline disruptive. Also, exactly how is 7101's signature disruptive (barring the constant changes)? Point out a policy that says you can alter another user's signature at will (outside of your own talk page, anyway, which I will accept). If you can find one that I'm unaware of (or simply missed the section by mistake), then I apologise. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds16:43, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
See WP:SIG; it says things about it being inappropriate to use a sig to draw disproportionate attention to one's posts by using a meretricious sig. I didn't refer to your sig as disruptive, although it is in the sense that you're injecting poor code into every page you sign; you're using the font-element which is a deprecated bit of markup. You're also cluttering-up the edit box with unnecessary snot. The faux-sig I used above is a one-off; used only occasionally. Some admin 'approved' your sig? So what; that's just one person's opinion. Most anyone who plays-meek here can get an admin bit; it's not a fucking cop's badge. Some admins are very serious people and their opinions should be listened to, and some just gamed the system. As to reformatting the sigs of others, it is regularly done where there is a need. 7107 is plainly headed for trouble if he doesn't start to listen; I suggest you not hitch your wagon to his. Regards, Jack Merridew17:10, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
Regarding you not calling my sig disruptive, I was talking about this: "*Your* sig is pretty borderline..." Combined with the sentence about cutting back disruptive signatures, I assumed that you were also claiming mine was disruptive. My apologies if that wasn't so. If you can think of a way to make the signature neater without changing its output, then please show me. As for the admin, it was xeno who I would hardly describe as "gaming the system" (and, in my experience, almost all admins aren't). If there was an issue with it (and I did raise some colour and coding queries with him), he'd have said something. Sorry for taking so long to reply. My computer's virtual memory is going completely batty right now and lagging/crashing/closing windows randomly (this would also be longer, but I don't want to risk the window closing again in the middle of it). --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds18:55, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Malicious Edits from Unregistered Users: Please Advise
JF,
I'm trying to help my little sister edit a wiki page that she insists contains not just false but purposefully misleading information. She provided me with references, and what she showed me looked legitimate. The problem is my edits are continually being undone by an unregistered user who I suspect is a spammer (I also was editing w/o being logged in until my very last edit). I've gone through some of guides on how to report malicious edits, but so far haven't found anything that seems particularly helpful (I admit I didn't look very far. It is Christmas Eve after all). I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction in terms of how to resolve this. It may not be your cup of tea, but the page in question is Tamaskan Dog. My sister's a bit of an animal rights activist and thinks someone is trying to use the page to promote a puppy mill. Let me know if you would like any more info.
Thank you, Rhikter (talk) 23:25, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm looking through it now as best I can (though, as you say, it is Christmas). Can you provide me with a diff of your preferred version and I'll go through the diffs? Also, which IP address are you (just so I can be sure)? To report an edit war, please go here. Remember to read the instructions carefully. If you wish, you can also request full protection of the article here to prevent editing to the page to allow discussion. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds23:37, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, and take your time. I'm in no rush to resolve this. Christmas! I believe the ip of the computer I was using is 67.142.168.148. My sister was editing it herself at first (and not very well from what I understand) then I came in and made sure she had references and that they were cited. This Tamaskan stuff is really not my thing. I'm basically just being used to make sure her edits look nice and are acceptable. Not to say I'm very good at it though. ; ) Rhikter (talk) 04:47, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas!
Once again it is festive season, a time where festive decorations are displayed and gifts are swapped; but what about the true meaning of christmas? The true meaning of christmas is about the fight for freedom and how in times of hardship and misery, one person leads their people to freedom as a great warrior; for those who fight for a cause are warriors and those who fight for a worthy cause are great warriors. Such an act earns respect and honour; but most importantly, brings happiness to their people. So to achieve this as happiness lies in other people's happiness and greatness lies in how you deal with little people, we selflessly think of others in the hope that they will be happy this christmas.
Maybe so, but he cannot ban me from his talk page. Alternatively, he could reread WP:CIVIL and learn how not to call a person a troll (how is telling him not to attack other editor trolling?). I've now stopped assuming good faith with him, to be honest, and am considering bringing him on Wikiquette alerts due to repeated incivility and discourtesy towards a group of editors. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds15:18, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
He can most certainly ask that you stop posting on his talk page, and remove your posts if you choose not to cooperate. It's best to just take a step back and avoid blowing the dispute out of proportion. –Juliancolton | Talk15:20, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
He insults me every chance he gets. I have always been kind to him and he treats me like garbage. Im sick of it. A little respect and kindness is the only thing that im asking for.--Coldplay ExpértLet's talk15:26, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Second sentence in. Also, I don't believe I am blowing this out of proportion. He has been repeatedly incivil to, taking two names from the hat, December21st2012Freak and Coldplay Expert and is now being incivil to me after I did something as horrifying as ask a very reasonable question regarding this garbage and now again when I told him, my temper fraying slightly, to stop attacking Coldplay Expert over a simple thing such as typos. If you know of another way to get him to try to get him to sit down, shut up and stop insulting others, then I will drop the WQA, because I don't particularly want to get involved on one myself (and only partially because the last one I ended up in, where I was only a neutral party, ended messily). --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds15:27, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Edit summaries like this "Coldplay, I don't have any race cars or legos and this talk page isn't a playground. Please use my talk page to discuss matters actually related to Wikipedia, or stay off of it." are unacceptable. For God's sake, im not an 11 year old!--Coldplay ExpértLet's talk15:32, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Honestly, that's my opinion as well (and this has come from observing him very little, whereas you have had major contact with him on multiple occasions). However, that doesn't make it any less worth trying. At least one admin is aware of the situation now. Maybe that will convince him to open up a reasonable discussion. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds15:54, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
I'll always be willing to sit down and have a civil discussion with his at either his or my talk page but Im sure he would'nt do it. I hope Julian can find a good settlement for this.--Coldplay ExpértLet's talk15:56, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
← Juliancolton has now removed the entire thread at iMatthew's request. While I am perfectly fine with that, I am concerned about the fact that, without that in his talk page archives, he can potentially claim he was never incivil or something and it would take some serious digging in the revision history to prove otherwise (I think I'm phrasing my concern badly, but I believe that it may be a legitimate concern). --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds16:24, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Look if we need to find it in the future we can and will. However we still need to try to calmly talk to him and see if he can kindly respond back. Then we can all move on.--Coldplay ExpértLet's talk17:02, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
I have been quite concerned with corporate PR techniques for some time now and have shifted my focus at least for the moment to PR in Wikipedia. A company I used to work for hired hundreds of high school aged kids to edit Wikipedia for them (they also wrote Amazon reviews, linked to the product on MSG boards etc.), and I was fired recently for refusing to lie about a product in particular. While we need not mention specific details regarding that case, I was hoping we could begin to make the Wikipedia community aware of the situation, and perhaps eventually change Wikipolicies regarding "reception" sections of games and movies, among other things. Take a look at my Call of Duty MW2 or Prototype Talk Page insertions if you could please. I have seen you around in the game fields when I as writing PR fluff on Wikipedia, and I remember your name well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.214.123.146 (talk) 01:22, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
Sorry about that, old habit. Sometimes when there's an article I want to get to from the article i'm reading, but I don't want to refresh the browser, I add a link in. With that one, there's probably a link somewhere for the ultimate sith edition, I just got sidetracked. Doc Quintana (talk) 03:57, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

...I have made one of those emailing things. Or maybe I've not. I don't know about internets, so you'll have to bear with me. It's one of those MSN accounts, and I tried to add you. I know this is out of your preffered norm, so block me if you must. My name is something about a couch, or so I remember. Sorry.

(chuckling) You created both a Hotmail e-mail account and a way to log into WLM. I'll probably see you online. Since I'm likely to be your only contact, I should be obvious, but I'll say hi anyway when I notice you're online so that you know who I am. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds14:24, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Vandalism? Really?
You called on my talk page. I thought that Fetchcomms didn't want that box there. Sorry if I made a mistake. So you're a big fan of birds eh? What's your favorite? Mine is the Golden Eagle. Reply on my page and have a Happy New Year!
You'll note that's the adjective form, if you insist on using it the sentence would have to be something like "a grease spell is set alight by a fire spell". FrisoHoltkamp (talk) 23:37, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello, Thejadefalcon. You have new messages at Austinrh's talk page. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
Hi, I saw the {{coi}} that you added to Bad Reputation (film) and just want to say that I rewrote the article with the exception of the cast list and awards section, and I sourced each of the awards. So I don't think the tag is any longer applicable. Thanks J04n(talk page)18:35, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
I hope you're having a wonderful holiday. All's okay at our end of the planet. Write back when you can. Also, how do you put colors in your name? I want to add colors to mine. :) Malke 2010 (talk) 19:02, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
My coding is long and complex, but the general thing is this: <font color="#009000">[[User:Thejadefalcon|Thejadefalcon]]</font> To find possible colours to use, go here. There's a lot of them, so unless you know exactly what you want, you may be stuck for a while. However, I'd experiment with them first before you save it as your signature. Here, use my sandbox to experiment, where you can see the many attempts to get my signature to be a) nice to look at in my view and b) still readable by everyone else. Also, do you have this page on your watchlist? I don't want to keep bothering you with needless talkback messages. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds19:10, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Of course I have your page on my watchlist. I love talk back messages, btw. After I pick the colors, etc., do I then put the code into the "signature" box on "My preferences" page? Is that how that works? Malke 2010 (talk) 19:15, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for fixing the Christmas message on my talk page. Coding is not something I'm fluent with. I understand Cloud Computing but the code thing, not so much. This is my signature in progress. I want to add a couple of lines like yours but I can't get the colors right. So I'm going with this for now until I figure it out. Malke201020:44, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Nope. It's in the "Malke" section. The (talk) button vanishes if you have a custom signature. As for the signature itself, it looks very good. Sorry I couldn't help any more while you were fiddling. I had to go search a few hundred links to help someone fix up some userboxes. X.X And as for the coding, if something ever needs to be shunted down so that is doesn't interfere with another template or text of some sort, use {{-}}. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds20:49, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Why did you delete my post on the alien films? Zoz007 thanks for your answer in advance.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoz007 (talk • contribs)
First of all, this is where you need to post to discuss stuff with me. Secondly, my apologies. I got a bit caught up, thought I'd made a comment to your talk page, but obviously not. I removed them because, honestly, they didn't make all that much sense to me. I can't really see why it matters what the title of the film is in Hungarian. It just doesn't seem all that important to me. Another thing is that your section title, "Interesting information," is synonymous with "trivia" which Wikipedia does not allow. However, if you think it is, you're welcome to raise the point on the talk page (preferably this one) and see what other editors have to say about it. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds20:56, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Sorry I didnt know that I can contact you here. I am new to Wikipedia. Well I added this information cause it is unique and as a fan for the film for me it is interesting and this is quite common amongst movie fans to search for these kind of information. For the section title I apologize I didn't know. However I think changing the section title would have been enough since this is still an interesting thing about the movie to share and it is not new to wikipedia. Just search for it and you will see that other movies also have information of these kind. But anyway i dont see what is senseless in this. Different French and Italian titles can be posted but Hungarian is senseless?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoz007 (talk • contribs)
To my knowledge, titles of films in different languages are only given if they were made or first shown in that country. Also, Alien's Hungarian title is "The eight passanger the death"? Really? That just sounds like an online translator did that one and that is rarely accurate enough to rely on. I'm not trying to drive you away from Wikipedia, I just don't think the Hungarian titles are relevant. As I said, if you would like, go here and ask for some consensus from other editors. If they agree with me, then it stays off. If they think it's notable, then I'm more than happen to accept that. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds21:14, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
I will do it but the fact that you dont believe that the Hungarian title is really The eighth passanger the death in hungarian then look for it here on Wikipedia. Go to the Engilsh Alien page and select the language magyar (in engilsh: Hungarian) and you will see the title is A nyolcadik utas a halál... which means The eighth passanger is the death... Bye :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoz007 (talk • contribs) 21:30, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello JadeFalcon. Thank you for being a good friend and for helping me on Wikipedia. I wish you peace and joy and lots of love in the coming New Year. :) Malke201001:07, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
I just made it clear there is no comparison between the two stars, and that is the issue. In America, they create a red star like some silly rabbit from a hat, hand it out to anybody with a heartbeat, and have no respect for the real red star. It is an insult to Russia and all it stands for.
... this is really getting pathetic, to be honest. How the hell is it insulting Russia? I love Russia. They bring us vodka and starring roles in marvellous games (and that one was Soviet Russia, too). They have wonderful accents and they're generally just fantastic people to know. I'm sure there's something out there that is like a Purple Heart, but the Americans aren't complaining about it (actually, I just remembered: there is. I myself have, off Wikipedia, of course, recieved the Purple Spork, "for bravery above and beyond the call of duty when sporking (mocking) bad fanfiction"). But look to the right. Do you see the difference? One is a medal, the other is a large ball of fire in the sky. I earned the latter, not the former. This is an award for "being hard working, kind to others, and for being an excellent user in general" not for "exceptional service in the cause of the defense of the Soviet Union in both war and peace." Russia hasn't even handed the damn thing out for eighteen years. Also, I am English (shush, I know the character is technically French). Meaghan is Canadian. Neither of us are American. I think it is in fact you who is showing no respect to anyone. You also have no sense of humour. Do you know what the English do when people mock us? We keep a stiff upper lip and have another mug of tea. I also wish to point out that this isn't mocking Russia at all. It is part of an award program called "Shining Stars" which has, as the name should have implied, awards based on stars. There is the Red Star (which, by the way, happens to be the lowest award), there is the Orange Star, there is the Yellow Star and, finally, there is the Blue Star. This is not an insult to Russia. You are seeing things where they do not exist. If you want to complain, take it up with the original creator of the award. I think she would appreciate it if you could keep your misguided patriotism at the door though. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds15:18, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Being a Russian (And German and Italian) myself. I have nothig but contempt for the reds who kicked my ancestors out of their home nation. There is really a red state (one that is nearing the end of its life) so its not the order of the red star but rather an award like the wikipedia on the day/week/month. End of discussion.--Coldplay ExpértLet's talk15:28, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Russians bring us Vodka??? What a stereotype! No small wonder that true Russians are disgusted with most Wikipedia editors, who either embrace brain dead stereotypes about Russians and vodka or belong to the underclass of unwashed Soviet outcasts, then presume to understand Russian music or culture. They prove time and time again that they know nothing. Who gives them the right to imagine they know what matters in Russian culture? I know silly rabbits with more intellectual understanding of Russian arts and culture.
(facepalm) ... Just... (facepalm) Christ, man, read the article! Vodka is believed to have originated in Russia. It also comprises seventy percent of all alcohol drunk there. Did you even read my post? I mocked England, my home country, about our tea drinking habits, which is exactly the same stereotype. We laugh it off. Some Irish people I once knew were perfectly happy to have a chuckle at their own drinking stereotypes (Guinness, say). It's not as if I insulted your heritage, is it? All countries poke fun at each other and most of it is harmless. What part of me poking fun at my own didn't you get? Grow a thicker skin before you leave the safety of your LAN. Maybe have a little tipple of vodka to get into the... spirit of things? (I'm going to hell for that one ^.^) --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds18:02, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
All I know is that you seem to be a silly man. Then you bring that ridiculous Coldplay expert into this diseased game and that is ultimate joke. Is he supposed to be the resident Wikipedia music expert? I mean, what kind of mindless fool imagines there is a molecule of talent to singing a song about "Jello" like some castrated schoolboy? Have you heard how they play guitar? Chugga-chugga-chugga, it is alternative no-talent trash of the worst kind! I don't care how the brainwashed masses are deluded and deceived into thinking Coldplay is quality music when so obviously it comes from the sewer, except that is an insult to the sewer. Those who attack Soviet Russia attack a nation that created the greatest music known to mankind and the new "democracy" of gangsters only destroyed whatever quality once existed. Do not compare Coldplay to great art, please, do not be sillier than you already are, because Coldplay is an example of everything that is wrong with music today. My dog knows more about music than Coldplay, sings better than Coldplay, and he did not go to a school of castrated schoolboys to learn that much.
I guess it's easy to dish out criticism but you can't take it. Don't blame me for the fact that Coldplay is a collection of girly-voiced music illiterates, championed by a badly diseased Western Media. I know what makes for music quality and Coldplay is certainly anything but.
← I guess it's easy to make judgements without using your brain. Don't blame me for the fact that you can't differentiate between users. I don't like Coldplay, myself. Hell, I've heard one song I can actually pin down on them. One song. How can I like them if I've never consciously heard their music? --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds22:50, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Let me put this bluntly and as kindly as possible. You have 5 seconds (I hope that you can count that high) to get off of this talk page or I will bring you to ANI.--Coldplay ExpértLet's talk22:52, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
What is an ANI??? If it's another terrible no-talent Western rock group like Coldplay, moaning in the singing voices of castrated schoolboys about "Jello," then please spare me the introduction. I know great music, great Soviet music of beautiful voice women and deep voice strong men, and Coldplay is incapable of creating any faximile of it.
When I first heard of "coldplay," I thought it was the name of a sandwich, like come cold cut corn beef with rye. Imagine how shocked I am to learn that this cold sandwich consisting of castrated schoolboys is pretending to be a talented music group. lol Yet you bring a champion of cold cuts to dispute music with me? A champion of cold cuts is going to argue about Soviet Russia with me? Spare me this insult, please, and you know you brought this on yourself by throwing away my smart music edits of the past.
Also, he's claiming that my editing is edit warring and that I've reverted material which I have not. I've deleted and added material and moved material around, but I have not reverted anything. He's just put up a warning on my talk page. He's very harassing, etc. and never makes any contribution to the page. He just reverts. Thanks for the help. This is frustrating.Malke201021:26, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Oh, great, it's a BLP... (sighs) You're going to be mostly on your own for this one (though I'll help out if I think I can). I try not to tread into the minefield that is BLP-articles unless I'm reverting vandalism. Sorry. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds21:30, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Ooohhh, you don't have any blocks. Very impressive. However, your friend Malke has two blocks. Oh no. . . But I don't plan on getting anymore. I reported Chhe to the wikiediquette board. I hesitate to go to the BLP since my edit is correct. There are no legitimate sources verifying what is stated which is why I removed it. I'll just wait, and remove it again later. Thanks for your help. Malke201000:54, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Did you hear about the Dramaout? It starts in January. Who thinks of this stuff? Not having people go to noticeboards? Priceless.Malke201019:42, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Forgot about the vandal thing. Why do people vandalize people's talk pages? What's the point of that? I can see them doing it to the articles, just to be devils. I think it's bored high school kids, sounds like that level of maturity. But doing it on a talk page seems lame.Malke201019:57, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Admittedly I didn't cite the source, but I did state the facts about the subject matter. It isverifiable so I cannot see why you edited my Aaron Russo piece save some bias policy of wikipedia. People deserve better, to know the truth, not one-sided opinion. This is what happened: It is widely speculated that Aaron Russo did not die of cancer but was assassinated after a radio interview where he was said to have spilt the beans - so to speak - about exposing the Rockerfeller family and their involvement in instigating 9-11. The radio interview survives to this day on many a conspiracy theorists computer and proves beyond doubt the fact that the most powerful families in America, in the world, had vested interests in the atrocities. The main motive being to introduce the terror legislation that stripped people of their rights. It ties in with the Phil Schneider and Bill Cooper murders. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anglyn (talk • contribs)
What is it with my editor review attracting talk page comments? Is it magnetic or something? This is where you need to post. Secondly, I don't know who the guy is, I don't care. I saw something that looked like a conspiracy theorist's ranting (and still does), so I reverted it. If it's verifiable, give a reference. That's all that's needed. Also, I suggest you need to read this. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds23:20, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
My apologies. I was using Huggle, which only shows the diffs of recent changes (I wouldn't be on that article otherwise). As I couldn't see the talk page diff, it looked like vandalism from my end. I'll strike the warning through. I'm also leaving talkbaccks on the pages for both you, the IP, and a logged-in user, just in case they are you. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds19:20, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
It's cool, it's a bit sneakier when someone inserts a sentence in before a ref so that it looks cited. --PresN21:40, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Well I'm embarrassed... turns out someone added that information like that in June 2008. I obviously wasn't doing a good job reverting vandalism then. --PresN21:42, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Hey there Bird, what does broke the page mean? Did I do it? If I did, that's hilarious. I must hire someone to type for me.Malke201019:13, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Wow, thank you Jesus, I didn't do it. LOL. Also, do you need special software for what you do on wikipedia? What's Huggle and Twinkle and what's the point of that?Malke201019:35, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
You need to download Huggle (and you need rollback rights for that one), but Twinkle is easy to install. Go to "My Preferences," "Gadgets," click the tick for Twinkle and save the page. And you're done. Read the manual if you want (I learned through trial and error and ended up nominating my own talk page for speedy deletion as "blatant nonsense" and undid with "oops" as my edit summary (only to do the same thing again ten minutes later)). If you have any questions, ask me. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds19:49, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Oh, that's funny. I can just see that happening. I don't know if I'd be any good at it. What does 'rollback rights' mean?Malke201019:52, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Not in trouble? Oh, all right. . .I was thinking it would be a Christians and Lions thing and we could vote thumbs up or down. It's just as well. . . He does seem to be a nice guy.Malke201020:27, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
How does the wikiquette thing get closed out? I saw that one seemed to be resolved, or maybe not. So how does someone make that decision. Can you close it out yourself? It might be best to do that now so that nothing is bursting later. :D Malke201020:33, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
I just put that twinkle thing on my preferences and when I went back to the contributions/watchlist thing, I saw this: [2]. What does that mean?Malke201020:41, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
When you look at any diff that is the most recent, say, this one, you'll see three buttons. A green "rollback (AGF)," a blue "rollback" and a red "rollback (VANDAL)". These will all remove all consecutive edits by that user to the last revision by another user. The difference is how you are responding to it. The first assumes it's a newbie who isn't too sure about how to edit properly, the second is just generally reverting and the third is removing a vandal. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds20:46, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
But the edit summary seems to indicate that you or Abce2 turned something back for vandalism? But when I look at his page, it seems to be normal. Everything is still there. I'm confused.Malke201020:53, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello Bird, we just had an edit conflict so all my brilliant stuff got vaporized. Who just go blocked and for what reason?Malke201023:31, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Well I'm glad everybody was on that. We cannot allow Coldplay Expert to be harmed in anyway. He's obviously brilliant since he too loves Coldplay. He must be defended. Let me know if you need help with anything.Malke201023:37, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Nope....its all taken care of. (I get alot of this from vandals and trolls who I revert useing huggle) And PS, I love how people automatically assume that Im a guy. (I am one though, nice assumption)--Coldplay ExpértLet's talk23:40, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
My husband and I are Americans. We're in beautiful downtown Santa Monica. Where are you, if you don't mind saying. If not, that's okay too. East, West, Northeast?Malke201023:51, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Good because I couldn't find your email. I've been reading your talk page. Amazing. World Wars. I love the World Wars. Do you remember the story about Ledice? Did I spell that right? From World War II. What a story. And December21st2012 what is your email?Malke201002:09, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
I was talking to you, Coldplay, but when I tried to save the edit, I ran into an edit conflict with December21st2012, and the with Jade. I can't really complain about Jade because it's his page, really.Malke201002:19, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello Thejadefalcon, I was wondering how you semi-protect a talk page, or any other page for that matter, I don't want non-users to wreak havoc on Wikipedia. Sorry if I'm repeating myself, but have a happy new year! Congrats on getting that Red Star too! It seems like a huge achievement!--Micro101 (talk) 13:06, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Spongefrog, you failed to mention one thing. Talk pages are never protected unless under exceptional circumstances. Talk pages are an IPs only connection to other editors. If we take it away, they can't communicate with others and ask opinions on how to best improve an article. Anyway, the easiest way is to probably a) familiarise yourself with the protection policy and then b) install Wikipedia:Twinkle (go to "My Preferences," "Gadgets," click Twinkle's box and save). Then, go to the page you want to protect, look at the top of the screen along the tabs ("edit this page" et cetera) and cick "rpp". Select to type of protection, the length of protection required (generally "temporary") and an explanation for your request. It sounds difficult, but it's pretty easy when you're used to it. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds18:15, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
You have worked tirelessly helping me and my page. you deserve like 4 of these but that would be repetetive.. RIVER (talk) 16:28, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello Bird, I had no idea what you've been going through. :( I read some of those posts, they're dreadful. . .I've been through that, too, called sock puppet, etc. when I didn't even know what that was. Awful.Malke201017:14, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting my talk-page. I must admit I was sitting there going "...huh.", unsure how to respond to such random accusations. Happy editing, also if I may poke you into giving me an editor review, since you watching my talk page indicates you may have noticed me around at least a little! Link is on my talk page in a banner, however don't feel pressed to do so at all, I don't mind! Have a great new year, --Taelus (talk) 21:14, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Last I heard, Wikipedia was banned in the People's Republic of China anyway (out of context, I had to check to see what the heck PRC meant). I may give you a review. Honestly, I'm not too sure how comfortable I feel giving them out. However, I'll probably try to do my best. And my talk page stalking is random. I do it to a couple of hundred of people, just helping them out when weirdos like that guy show up. :P --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds21:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello, Thejadefalcon how was your Christmas? Mine was ok, though I got all I wanted! We had a green and wet Christmas. The wet? It was raining. I live in Wisconsin and that doesn't happen very often in my neck of the woods. :) --Micro 101 (talk) 18:56, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Sorry if this upsets you, but my parents are kind of stingy and always ask me why I need an E-Mail account. They think that I'll fall to spammers and hackers. They're fine with Wikipedia as long as I don't wreak havoc on Wikipedia. Oh, how did you get your signature color, words that link me to your talk page, etc. Reply under this message. --Micro 101 (talk) 20:33, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
O.o Just get a Hotmail account. It's very simple and it's got a lot of anti-spam stuff. I haven't had a spam e-mail land in my inbox for almost a year. As for the signature, I made a custom one. If you want, I can help you make one yourself. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds20:38, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Not replying right away is very rare when I"m on Wikipedia. I was just busy doing trial and error for my signature code. It was tedious work! First I had to copy your code, paste, and customize. Your code didn't add color to the superscript and so did Coldplay's. I finally got my signature code through with Lord Spongefrog's. I have to ask, where did you get the codes?--Microsoft 101Defender of Cyberspace21:28, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Generally, I find it best not to archive by months (especially if the month isn't technically over with). If you do that, there may be an outstanding issue that you archive and it may look like you're trying to ignore it. In my opinion, it's best to simply have an archive bot deal with it. That way, you don't have to do a thing and it will give enough time (in my case, five days right now, though it used to be ten) for others to respond if they feel they need to. I can help you set MiszaBot up if you'd like. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds20:40, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Jade, what do you mean, not here either? Is jpgordon not around? I picked him because he's in California and would still be awake at this hour. I'm going to ask that this guy be blocked. He needs a break.Malke201003:07, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm confused, I don't understand what is going on here. Are you upset with me? What have I done? I'm not fighting with this fellow. I told him to leave my page, now he's back even worse. Why did you archive it? Can the admins still see it? I want this fellow blocked. He should be. He's over the top.Malke201003:26, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
All of you need to calm down. Archiving the thread was the simplest way to do it all. Blocking Daedalus serves no purpose, especially since, as I said over e-mail, I agree that your edit summary was a mistake. All of you are just getting on each others nerves, so I decided to nuke the thread. It's still visible to all. All I did was hide the thread. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds03:28, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Well, I don't agree with the "All of you" I wasn't giving tit for tat. And Coldplay was trying to reason with the guy. This guy must be blocked, and my email exchange with you has nothing to do with it. This fellow didn't need to start this argument in the first place. He needs to be stopped. The posts he left are nothing more than rants, and they are offensive. Is this fellow a friend of yours? So please do not lump me in with this fellow, or Coldplay for that matter. He's young and he's trying to make sense of an out of control adult. So please, once again, this fellow started this nonsense, over a most ridiculous thing. He was just looking for a place to unload a lot of anger and whatever else he's got in his head. If he had not gone off on this silly edit summary, he would have gotten his head off on someone else's talk page. He needs a break from editing, and believe me nobody understands the value of a block better than I do. So, please don't roll us in with that. It's wrong and it's unfair. And frankly, I don't see why you are so upset about this.Malke201003:36, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Dear Thejadefalcon/Archive 3, I just wanted to wish you and your family a happy new year, however you're celebrating it. Whether 2009 was a good year for you, or if it wasn't the greatest year, hopefully 2010 will be better. Cheers, and happy editing in 2010.
Actually, you were ten minutes early and I've already celebrated it with my mum. After all, it's 2010 in Russia, right? >.> Anyway, Happy New Year. Now, you need to say it again twice. Once now when I celebrate it for real with my girlfriend and once in seven hours when we celebrate hers. That's a great thing about long-distance relationships. Twice the number of holidays. :P Thanks, both of you. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds00:01, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Belated New Year's to Mom in Russia and Girlfriend in Alaska. Went to party at 10 came home by 1. We had fun. Happy New Year. BTW, Coldplay and December21st2012 left New Year's messages on Jimbo Wales' page. XD aaahhaaa. Gotta love wikipedia.Malke201015:20, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Well then, I'm tipping my Starbucks black iced tea to Mum and you. Have a good 2010. Especially in the late summer and early fall.Malke201015:28, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
It started brilliantly for us too, and I think it's because we had a blue moon last night. We get blue moons every 2.5 years, but we haven't had a blue moon on New Year's eve since 1990. I think it brought good vibrations, as the Beach Boys once said.Malke201016:14, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
XD, by "we had a blue moon," of course I mean the universal we not just hubby and me. XD aaahhaaa. Our own special blue moon. There's medication for people who think that.Malke201016:16, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Can I suggest edits? Breakingthrough through the Ardennes forest. Try,"breaking through the dense Ardennes forest." Not an expert, just saying.Malke201018:28, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm getting confused over what Coldplay is trying to tell me about his article for the wikicup. He said something about checking on his article called Coldplay, But the links he gave me where to Battle of Belgium and Larry Dell Alexander. Can you figure out what I'm missing here?Malke201019:14, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Did anyone invited you to intervene in matters (unless you like poking your nose in when it has nothing to do with you?) My discussion with Julian Colton concerns a matter between us but I cannot say I am surprised--the more I see here the more I laugh to be honest.
"Keep the discussion on the contribution and not on the contributor." Great Logic Falcoon--a bit like going in to an eating establishment, ordering dinner and then saying, "this has nothing to do with the place I'm sitting in."
I certainly do NOT need help in citing rules from anyone lacking citations in background evidence of any kind to even suggest or support being qualified for doing the work I see here (unless it is a huge expanse of 10 whole months on the job.

Actually, yes, I did butt into something that doesn't concern me. Do you know what that gets me? Barnstars and gratitude for answering questions helpfully, saving time for the person they were asked to and removing trolls and vandals. So I see no reason to stop it just because you think I should. Juliancolton was not happy with what you said and neither was I so I decided to warn you for accusing him of... well, gibberish. Besides, it is your analogy that does not make any logic. A contributor is entirely different to their contributions. Say an editor did not like one user's contribution and called them a "faggot." That has everything to do with the contributor, nothing on the contribution. Other than that, I have no clue what you were gibbering about. Ten months on what job? Fake intellectuals? What are you talking about? Your words on their own are English, but put into a sentence they make no sense. Please come back making sense. Also, spelling my name correctly goes a long way towards me listening to what you have to say. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds19:33, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Archiving
Thanks for setting up the MiszaBot. I forgive you on the mistake you made about the bot. Anyway, instead of leaving "replied" on my talk page, try putting a talkback. Click edit this page for the code:
I do know how to use talkbacks, I just don't like leaving two of them directly next to each other. Usually, I just remove or add a line before the talkback so I can recycle it without taking up any extra space with a new one, but that talkback was Spongefrog's so I wasn't totally comfortable with doing that. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds20:23, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Micro101 here, I just figured something (mathematically) out! Its that all (or at least most) of Wikipedia users and linked together! How could this be? Well lets say I know 10 users, and you know at least 15. Those users know more users, and it adds on! It branches out to possibly all of Wikipedia! I tried clicking on unknown users on your page and then clicking on other users names on talk pages, then after about 10 minutes I found myself in a talk page of someone in Israel! Just something I figured out, not life-threatening, but cool!--Microsoft 1000Defender and Ruler of Cyberspace!12:59, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

deleting stuff
Hello bird, I did not know you can delete stuff like you did on our friend's talk page. I would have done that myself but I thought it was not a legal move to do such a thing on another person's page. It might be nice if all of that got deleted from the other recent crisis too, if you know what I mean. Also do it to my talk page too, okay? I'm busy right now working on stuff for work and flipping back and forth to wikipedia is not convenient right now. :D Thanks so much.Malke201018:05, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Damn it, sorry. I've been busy today, hadn't noticed this thread. Yes, you can do it in special circumstances. I decided it would be best that thread never happened. Also, what do you want me to do on your talk page? iMatthew never showed up there to my knowledge. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds01:00, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
Ok, I know that it didn't have a point or meaning [6], but does that really matter? I don't think it does, but thats just me. I like to insert my opinion on some topics, but I don't really expect a lot of people to write back, when they do I just keep talking. If people complain thats their problem, if they don't like what I write then they can just ignore it. Sorry, if I'm being rude.

I based it off all of the GA and FA character lists (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), and I rated it as an article versus a list, as lists normally do just that, only list things, rather than expand on them, as character lists normally do. I think List of characters in the Mass Effect universe should also be changed, unless there has been a discussion as to why not, or I am completely wrong in this entire situation.

If you're concerned about personal information buried deep, taking it to ANI is not the thing to do. Think abou it. If you feel there's a problem, deal with it. If you do not feel there's a problem, leave it. In this case, I really don't see any problem. J Milburn (talk) 14:04, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Oh, bugger. I could have sworn I'd seen this sort of thing brought up before on AN/I (with even more personal information given out) to ask a question about it and nobody batted an eyelash about it. Should I request Oversight? --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds14:16, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Nothing to worry about, and nothing in the information you removed that needs oversighting. Oversight isn't really indicated unless there's a privacy violation -- a phone number, address, or in the case of a malicious outing. Revealing her age (if the information is even accurate) is kind of dumb, but it wouldn't be a privacy violation if someone else revealed it, and so it isn't if she reveals it herself. Besides, if every dumb edit needed to be oversighted, there'd need to be a lot more oversighters. Cheers! --RrburkeekrubrR14:46, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Just a quick message (and I do mean quick I have one minute before I start revision for part of my AS exam, something I should have started two months ago) didn't see the message up the top and never knew when your birthday was, even from our many emails, so only just know. But I guess you weren't really to bothered about wikipedia and more someone else wishing you a happy birthday. Oh well, here goes

For a start, why? That's personal information, yes, but I doubt anyone can track me down anyway. Anyway, who said today was my birthday? ;) For all you know, it could be a trick designed to fool people into thinking that it's my birthday. There's no proof one way or the other. I could say "January the fourth is my real birthday" but it might be October the 12th. Yes, there is consistency between all of my profiles on the web that my birthday is January 4th, but there's also consistency that Elvis lives and flies around in a UFO. The defendant rests. :P --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds02:52, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Hot damn I'm awesome. Worship me. I to am also paranoid about tracking; especially as people can track you via you birthday on the internet. They check your computers fingerprint, list all avalible information by it then corrospond it with anyone with your Birth date, thus giving them your name and address and shoe size; then they simply have two or three people left so they kill all three of you.

I didn't get on yesterday, so I failed to see the birthday message at the top of your page. So, yeah. Hooray! Oh yeah, and a (very belated) happy New Year. --ҚЯĀŽΨÇÉV1321:11, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Hence why they were hidden. The thing is, those articles may all feasiably exist one day. Maybe if someone sees them hidden on the template, they'll think "Hmm... maybe I should start that one." Removing Dragon Age: The Calling though was the thing that really made me confused, given that the book is already out. That makes a page all but inevitable some day, probably soon. Not even a week ago, the character list was hidden away, but it got created, so I brought it out into open view. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds00:02, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
On ANI, you asked for diffs (23:34 6 January), which is a good answer. Yet, the thread was closed. This seems a bit rude. I am against rudeness and have complimented Jimbo Wales for his editorial in a national newspaper about internet rudeness. Are you also opposed to rudeness in general? Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 16:24, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
O.o Err... Check the timestamps again. The original poster made their comment at 23:32 on the sixth. My request for diffs was at 23:34. Throwaway85 suggested that AN/I wasn't the correct venue for the thread at 23:37. Then NuclearWarfare closed the thread at 00:29 on the 7th. As for your question, it depends on a case-by-case basis. What I define as rude, others may not and vice-versa. My life has turned me into a sarcastic, fairly cynical git (though I'm working it out). So sarcasm generally isn't considered rude by me (though it depends on what someone is being sarcastic about). However, as a general statement with no specifics of what is and isn't classified as rude, I am opposed to rudeness on the internet and in real life. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds16:34, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Oh, wait, hold on. Just re-read your question from a different perspective and it potentially makes a lot more sense. I originally thought you were accusing me of being rude from misreading the timestamps. Were you actually saying the closing of the thread was rude? --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds16:39, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
You didn't do anything wrong. In fact, you were the responsive person. A person, maybe a quack, maybe not complained. You asked for diffs. The burden of proof then rests on the person making the complaint. If the diffs are quackish, then closing the complaint is ok. As of now, the complainer probably thinks that Wikipedia is rude, just what Jimbo Wales asks us to avoid. Your response might have taken 10 seconds to write so it's not a burden to be responsive. Anyway, the case is closed from my perspective as I'm not going to try to reopen it. Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 19:51, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Heya, just thought I would drop you a note that your rationale for rejecting one of the reported usernames is a bit off, as the users talk page shows they indeed seem to have a conflict of interest, and their username is the same as the companies name which is generally frowned upon. Relevant pages are: User_talk:Windamir, Windamir Development & Construction. Hope this helps, better to go slow on reports and avoid mistakes than to focus on a high contribution rate, as mistakes might come up at an RfA. Happy new year, I hope 2010 is good for you. --Taelus (talk) 19:38, 7 January 2010 (UTC) Struck part of comment, as re-reading it it sounds a bit critical, and that was not my intention at all. --Taelus (talk) 22:01, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Yes, but it doesn't sound like blatant advertising, which is what UAA is designed to combat. Yes, the username is a problem, otherwise I would have marked with {{uaa|nb}}, not {{uaa|spam}} or {{uaa|coi}} or whichever is relevant (in this case, the former). As I said, compare to other usernames. Try SellYourDesignOnline, which is blatant advertising, or Codywaldronisawhore, which is a blatant personal attack. Most people would never even think of connecting Windamir to advertising (I wouldn't, if I hadn't being told they were), just like most people would never link me with a (probably little known) security company in Arizona. I'm only aware of that because it got brought up after I used my name as an example in a discussion about company names here. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds19:58, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Indeed, and I wouldn't endorse action against names on this sort of "GOTCHA" mentality, however the user is contributing advertisement for the company, using a company name. However, looking at it again, and looking at how other reports similar to this at UAA have been handled, the line seems quite thin. I withdraw my comments then, feel free to remove/archive this as you wish. I will not pretend I am experienced in UAA, maybe I should look into it a bit more. Thanks, --Taelus (talk) 21:55, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Yep, looking at it again I think this is borderline. Policy states: Explicit use of a name or url of a company, group or product as a username is not permitted. Your username should represent you.
In this scenario, the username is not representing the user, as they are advertising the company used in their name. But, it is not explicitly a company name if you take the context provided by their contributions away, so perhaps COI or SPAM noticeboards are the best way to deal with this. I suppose it could be viewed as going either way. Hope this helps, --Taelus (talk) 21:59, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Don't worry about it, Taelus. I won't remove this. If I didn't accept criticism of my actions, I'd be a fairly worthless editor, wouldn't I (and you didn't have to strike your comment. It's true and I'd be an even more worthless admin if I didn't accept criticism)? I'll keep an eye on it to see how things go but I've noticed that UAA can be a bit schizophrenic about this sort of thing. Some names that I think should have gone elsewhere are blocked for their username, others I think are blatantly against policy are sent to another place. I guess it's all a matter of personal opinion, really. Like I said, don't worry about it. I didn't take any offensive over it at all. In fact, I kind of enjoyed this thread. ^.^ --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds22:59, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Archive help
Can you archive the older entries on the Proust talk page? [9]. Maybe archive anything older than 2008. Also, what does 'refactoring' mean? Thanks :) Malke201022:47, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
That's a fairly healthy size for a talk page. In my opinion, it doesn't really need archiving, mostly because it's fairly inactive. When you see a talk page as long as AN/I then you need to start really worrying about archiving (and that's with archiving for AN/I). If it also gets to this size you know you have a problem. Refactoring means to rewrite your comments, usually to remove controversial parts. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds23:12, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
XD, right, I used the 'undo' by mistake. I noticed today on one page in particular that there were actually several instances of vandalism, and I scrolled through all the edits, and then without thinking hit the undo button instead of the twinkle thing.Malke201023:12, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
From WP:UP#CMT: "Policy does not prohibit users, including both registered and anonymous users, from removing comments from their own talk pages, although archiving is preferred. The removal of a warning is taken as evidence that the warning has been read by the user. Deleted warnings can still be found in the page history. Repeatedly restoring warnings does nothing but antagonize users, and can encourage further disruption." If you follow the link, you will see that it is accepable for users to remove block notices.

By the time you posted this, I'd made three comments (one each on RPP, AN/I and the user's talk page) apologising. I have had previous troubles with this and was told (by an admin, if my memory serves) that warnings and WHOIS notices may be removed and that it is block notices that aren't. However, I've been re-flicking through policies to see if they've changed since I last checked and came across one relevant to this user and realised that it was probably a typo and they probably mean to say unblock notices. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds04:27, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Oh, damn. I thought someone had managed to get them all. Sorry! (embarrased) You're the third person to say this. Join the club. As I said in that thread, "I just felt that it would make a hell of a lot more sense for them all to be named "Blah (series name here)" rather than just "blah (stick a series name here if you feel like it)" Regardless of whether there is another article near the episode title, it's done now and now they all match up (thereby making it easier if someone is typing them into the search bar rather than going through the episode list)." --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds21:37, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Twinkle question
Do you patrol new user pages? Is there a link to all the pages on wikipedia to check for vandalism or do you just keep an eye out for pages on your watch list?Malke201022:29, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I patrol new pages. See here for details. Generally, my vandal fighting is done through my watchlist or Huggle. You can also view recent changes to Wikipedia, but I only go there with Huggle. Here's a detailed page on recent changes patrolling.
Falcon, you are some hypocrite, you are one sad bird, stalking Caesar and forcing him to remove his talk page, in which he granted me an award for one of the most intelligent posts placed upon Wikipedia. You even forced him to remove the rules of his page, solely on account of the fact that those rules banned the Queen of England from visiting his page. You obviously have no problem when your Wiki partners in crime hand you "red star" awards (which is an offense to all Russians, by the way, mocking the illustrious red star of the Soviets), yet you can not stomach the idea that a Wiki editor handed me an award, placing me in his Hall of Fame. The bottom line is this: you are jealous of me, and have been jealous of me from the first day you met me, and you are jealous of all Russians, for that matter, and that is more than obvious. Just because Russian artists are far superior to the lamebrain coldplay lovers of the world, you seek to demonize us. You can call me a "troll," you can refer to all Russians as "trolls," but you will never suppress the great Russian artists, no matter how hard you try. Your mission is doomed to fail, and I almost feel sorry for you but on second thought, not much. Even Mark Slater has a problem with your sense of aesthetics and, given that he is not exactly a picture of beauty himself, that should give everybody a good idea how wrong you happen to be. I demand you apologize to Caesar and replace his discussion page to what it was, and allow him to continue to honor me in a manner I deserve.

I had just made an edit, saw I made a typo and was going to correct it. In this space of 10 seconds at the most YOU had already deleted the edit entirely... Do you know what your doing? The purpose of a wiki is not not delete any edits with poor grammar, its purpose is to correct them. Next time carefully read an edit before you delete it, thanks.
I did. Nowhere else in the article does it mention the word "martyr". Secondly, it was a red link, so the page does not exist. From my point of view, it looked like vandalism. If it is not, please tell me why not. For my talk page stalkers to chip in, this was what I reverted. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds01:41, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Foxes Book of martyrs is an article in Wikipedia,the Name "Foxe" is sometimes spelled "Fox" since the English language has changed, also if You knew anything about the History of the Netherlands, this Head of State is widely considered a Martyr for Protestantism. stick to editing articles which you have any knowledge or interest in. That way you will make no more of these simple mistakes. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up on this one. I went ahead and blocked the two active and obvious socks, I see no reason to hold off doing it, this user obviously has no intention of being productive, and never has. Trusilver00:44, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
You're welcome. I wasn't totally sure if the one reported to AIV was blockable because, as I then found out while researching the SPI, they hadn't edited for years. By the way, you gave me a nasty shock when you appeared on my watchlist, blocking someone. When we talked earlier on the Avatar talk page, I was under the impression that you were a relatively new user. Bit of a surprise to find out you weren't. :P --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds00:49, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, much to the chagrin of many around here, they can't seem to piss me off enough to make me go away :). That was not technically a legitimate WP:AIV report, but after I researched it a little bit, it seemed to me that the admission of sockpuppetry as well as the vandalism from the primary account was enough of a reason for a block. Trusilver00:54, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
In most cases, someone who is sockpuppeting like that is also vandalizing, in which case it's fine to go to WP:AIV. Most other cases are fine for just WP:SPI. If in doubt, go ahead and let me know, I will look into it if I'm online. Even if it's sent to the wrong place, most competent admins will look into it. (well... some will, maybe I'm hoping for too much by saying "most".) Trusilver01:12, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Heya, I have cleaned up the talk page at Talk:Dragon Age: Origins so that only outstanding issues remain, in order to make it easier to see what still needs to be done. Hopefully we can re-achieve B-class at least. Sadly, the lack of information released by Bioware, and the fact the EU and US editions actually contradict each other could doom the articles progress any higher in the short term.

Just curious, was I really at fault for calling the thread starter a DICK? I mean, if he can't leave me to do my job (I was in the process of testing a few sigs before deciding on one of them...) then is dragging me to WP:AN of any help? --Dave♪♫1185♪♫19:14, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, it's been pretty busy today and I forgot about this. I was prepared to agree with you (at first, it did seem very abrupt the way the AN thread was brought up) but after re-reading the thread and looking through your talk page history for the timestamps, I think it was a bit unfair to call him a dick. You had three days between you first being notified and before the thread was started, three days in which you were active, so not seeing it can't be an excuse. I think that, at the very least, even if you couldn't decide on a new signature, you could have removed the blinking section. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds01:53, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
As I've mentioned in AN, point taken but I sincerely think that not everybody has a sense of messed up priorities as those guys did, while mine's being the improvement of articles first and foremost. Such minor issue can be dealt with at a later time... but they just kept coming! I stand to be corrected. --Dave♪♫1185♪♫03:09, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
Argh. I was trying to fix it, but then realised Jade had just done it. Damn. I undid Malke's edit removing the Barnstar from his/her talk page. Is this good or bad?

Regarding the comments made there, whilst they are blunt, they do have some merit. UAA does not really need "clerking", or a feedback process, as the noticeboard is for blatant violations only. Feel free to continue to watch the noticeboard to learn, but may I advise you dedicate your attention to another area which is more backlogged, such as Redirects for Discussion, Article Assessment at WikiProject Videogames, Peer Review, or even Wikiquette Alerts. Feel free to contact me if your interested in Article Assessment, as there is a large backlog there, as many "Stubs" are actually expanded without ever being updated. I can also advise on Redirects for Discussion if you so wish. Hope this helps, but remember these are only recommendations, you can do whatever you feel you can do. --Taelus (talk) 00:54, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
On second thoughts, I decided to ask at WT:UAA for administrators opinions, as there aren't really any instructions or guidance on commenting at the noticeboard. Anyway, its no big deal, you contributed in good faith so that is what matters. Of course, the areas I mentioned could always use you anyway! --Taelus (talk) 01:31, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
While I've largely "quit" the whole U/UAA scene (because I find the atmosphere caustic and largely in contravention to the "spirit" of Wikipedia; call me a softie if you will) I have enjoyed seeing your input there and hope you don't feel put off by this particular incident. It's about time we saw some input from a broader spectrum of users, including those who have not yet been granted the sysop bit. Thank you for your contributions there.

Listen to what you wrote on the IPs talk page - "Don't refactor other people's comments". Which was exactly how Sypheria caused the situation in the first place? Wiki policy on talk pages states "Never edit someone's comment to change its meaning". Considering that Wikipedia is generally not censored, and that many people resort to foul language (look up) do you really think that Sypherias role has been exemplary? Is there any reason why Sypheria should not also receive a warning template? From the IPs page - "If you continue to delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, you will be blocked for vandalism.". Does that not apply firstly to Sypheria? I think if Sypheria actually believed that the edit was vandalism they could have deleted it as such but altering someones comments to make them seem less like vandalism perhaps isn't the way to go? Cheers. Weakopedia (talk) 07:11, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
Firstly, all Sypheria edited was the thread title. I've seen that happen all the time, from user talk pages, to article talk pages and even to (I believe) AN/I and no-one bats an eyelash. Personally, I feel that swearing is not something to be proud of and I try to do it as little as possible though sometimes, such as the above thread or when we first came across each other, my temper frays to the extent that I let out more than the odd "damn" or "bloody hell." However, just asking for the article to be unprotected could easily have been done without swearing about it. I probably would have done the same as Sypheria. If it had been part of the comment itself, then no, absolutely not. However, the thread title seems to be a bit of a gray area in terms of the policies I've encountered. I don't think Sypheria could have removed the thread, as someone else had already commented to that thread. If you wish to warn Sypheria, then go ahead. However, give a clear explanation as to why (or a link to this thread). --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds18:34, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
Note to TJF: Removal of personal attacks is specifically not included in the general prohibition against editing others comments, although there is considerable disagreement about this, and the general consensus is to replace the attack with a <personal attack removed> note. Please see WP:RPA regarding this if you wish for more detail. KillerChihuahua?!?Advice18:54, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
The problem in this case was a poorly worded talkpage topic rather than a personal attack. That wasn't the only problem, it was in the wrong place and the editor who made the section reverted it's move to the bottom a bunch, but it just made me wonder whether it was better to remove something suspected as vandalism or alter it to become non-vandalism. I find TJF to be a committed editor and I value his opinion on the matter. Weakopedia (talk) 03:25, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
My comment was of a general nature regarding the policies, as TJF had stated "Wiki policy on talk pages states "Never edit someone's comment to change its meaning". " Not being certain whether TJF was aware of the possible exception, I mentioned it. My comment was not intended to be a remark on the current situation whatsoever. You may have missed it, but TJF did request I mentor and act in an advisory capacity, based upon another editors suggestion - and so I'll be butting in and making lots of comments such as this for a bit.

Okay... about a month ago, I received a death threat. Nothing serious, just a random cretin shouting "You reverted my edit, I'll kill you, faggot!" with bad spelling. Nothing I haven't seen before. I deleted it and went back to removing more vandalism. A few days later, same thing. And again twice more. That's when I noticed something odd. None of the addresses were real. They were all just random strings of characters and they were all different from each other. I've seen it before, I know you can fake an e-mail address. An old friend once e-mailed me from "jameskirk@federationhq.co.milkyway." I've had spam mail from my own address. But I thought it was rather odd that someone was doing it just to send me crap like that when I didn't even know what I did or who it was. Then things got more complex. They started to say things that sounded very fishy and, after the third e-mail like that, I figured it out why I was suspicious. Somehow, they were finding out personal information about me. Forum posts from months ago, little snippets of my life. That's when I started responding. After a few days, I started to worry about how much they knew about me. Then they started to quote some things that even I had forgotten about and promised me that they knew more about me, including where I lived. They gave me a choice: retire from Wikipedia or they'd find me and kill my family.
I wasn't willing to take that chance so I retired...
That's why I retired. No more. Here and now, I'm stopping this. I know you're reading this, whoever you are, so I'm telling you, in public, to fuck off. I can't believe someone would be pathetic enough go to this length of shit to protect their right to vandalise a fucking encyclopaedia! All of your e-mails were deleted after their arrival. However, the next one you send me won't be. If you ever contact me again, I'll call in every one of the numerous favours I am owed. Fake e-mail address or not, I will track you down. And when I do, you're going to have a nice little chat with the police. If you ever come near me or my friends and family, I'll fucking disembowel you and hang you from a tree. I do not have to put up with this shit, so I won't. If you out me, I'll find you. If you threaten me, I'll find you. If you come near me or someone I love, I'll kill you. Are we clear? If I ever see you again... You failed. I will not retire because someone demands it. I will return later tonight. Anyone else who wants to fuck with me, this was your only warning as well. I will not tolerate this. You fuck with me, I fuck right back. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds21:17, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Hey you shouldn't retire! Just because someone is making a threat doesn't mean they will act it out. Keep coming on wikipedia. I was just getting to know you! You can't let them control their life. In fact I think that person lives far away from you. Celebrities get this sort of thing all the time. Email the people who run the forum sites and ask them to blank out or remove your personal information. Its as simple as that. If they don't get in touch with the host company. I suspect this person may have known you if he revealed loads of personal information about you. If they didn't; its an empty threat. You can google anyone's name and obtain tidbits of info. When you get that sorted that then I'm sure this person will leave you alone. NarSakSasLee (talk) 00:03, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Your back!!!!! (huggs you) Thanks soo much for staying. And as for the death threat, (To the sender of those e-mails, screw you you troll. Go vandalise encyclopedia Dramatica or something) You can always get someone to track the location that the e-mail was sent from....--Coldplay ExpértLet's talk01:53, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Glad to hear you're back. That troll sounds like some arse who's got too much time on his hands. You've got accounts on a few sites, so it wouldn't be too hard to piece together some information and make it sound convincing. Granted you had the time, of course.

Whoa, that's a large fan following you got ya silly self there isn't it Todd. I would send this by email but this time it's not the email that's messed up it's the entire computer; so I still won't be able to email you for a while. But the main topic is this, if they do it again don't leave me out this time; I never leave friends on their own. So what I'm saying is simply if he does it again tell me and mes'll help you to find the messed up, cynically dysfunctional, social leaper, pathetic little fucker anyway I can (hopefully anywhy, there are several factors I will email you about). Even if it means trying to get the same guy who made both my computers hack-proof (don't know how, the rough jist of what I caught of all the technical jargon was 'seperating your *blah blah* from the main line but still enabling it to connect to the *blah blah* via a sub line that is *blah blah* meaning that only *blah blah* and *blah blah* files can get through which the latter can only be recognised and accepted by the computer as it is binary. But for safe measures I've put a *blah blah blahdidy blah* netting so any random hacker shit will simply get fake files...', yes that is all I could deciper; tough I would have to refind him as he left my school, I have his email somewhere though. I'll email you when possible but to keep in semi-continuatio of everyone else here, GO VANDAL no wait that's not right, lets try that again shall we in a less retarded fashion GO ACE, you fight back like err... the rebels in star wars?

Query
Why did you inform Weakopedia I had responded to him, but omitted mentioning to me that I had been strongly accused - inaccurately, as it happens - by him? I would appreciate your clear answer to this conundrum. Thanks - KillerChihuahua?!?Advice18:49, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) No one at Wikipedia has any obligation to do anything, everyone volunteers.
Obviously there are certain things that users aren't allowed to do, however, as far as I'm aware, there is nothing wrong with a user not doing something (please note: I make no comment on the whole Weakopedia incident, and am not even fully aware of what it was about). Kind regards, SpitfireTally-ho!18:56, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Please don't think badly of TheJadeFalcon, I am guessing he regretted even mentioning it to me as soon as he did so, but he is also a very thorough editor and may have (quite rightly) assumed that I had not marked the page for my watchlist and that you, being a much more experienced editor, would have done so. As to the 'The Weakopedia Incident' (cheers Spitfire ;]) I quite honestly believed you had told me to 'STFU' and if I was wrong about that as you have suggested I happily apologise for making that mistake. Regards. Weakopedia (talk) 02:54, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
The entire discussion regarding language on that page was about an incident wherein TJF said "STFU", and I commented in thread, beginning with ""STFU" notwithstanding,... " I find it difficult to believe you thought I was speaking to you, rather than about the same darn thing the previous 20 or so posts had been talking about. If such is the case, it is a very odd case of you suddenly forgetting the topic at hand. However, if that is the case, allow me to suggest that you read more carefully and attempt to leap to confusions less often. Your apology is accepted. KillerChihuahua?!?Advice02:00, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't know what this discussion is about and I'm not meaning to intrude, but I do want you to know, KillerChihuahua that Jade Falcon is really a fine fellow and I've never known him to do harm to anyone. So if there's an issue where you think he may have done something against you, I'm confident it's all a misunderstanding all the way around. He's a most excellent vandal fighter and has the utmost respect for editors and admins alike. He's a great asset to wikipedia, as are you.Malke201002:11, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
No, there is no such situation. I have not criticized TJF for any action at all, ever. I have asked a question, with no criticism implied or intended. Depending upon the answer, I may or may not have advice for future situations. I have to say, this is the first time I've taken on mentoring of any kind to have a veritable mob of other editors rush to the mentoree's defense - unnecessarily, I might add, as I would not have agreed to this coaching had I not thought TJF had considerable potential and merit already. I trust that all the loyal talk page stalkers will now breathe a sigh of relief and calm themselves. KillerChihuahua?!?Advice12:56, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, this may be late but KillerChihuahua, I was addressing Spitfire not you; sorry. I do write in weird ways most of the time so not really understanding who it was to just made it worse. Sorry 'The Ninjalemming'17:01, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
O.o This was a heck of thread to come back too... Anyway, moving on rapidly...
It's been too long for me to remember exactly why. However, after examining the time stamps, I've come to a few conclusions.
A) I assumed that since you hadn't responded to my own reply (which I was half-expecting you to do), I thought that you hadn't noticed the talkback yet (maybe due to not being online) and therefore decided not to create another one.
B) I assumed that you may have it on your watchlist after my response (unlikely, since I always assume that another person doesn't have it until it's confirmed that it is on there).
C) I regretted mentioning it to Weakopedia instantly, seeing how long the editor review got in the end and decided that, should he respond, I would just leave it there and hope the review died silently and without notice.
D) I'm an idiot and I simply forgot to place a second talkback.
No offense at all; it was a simple query to try and get a glimpse at how your mind works. I had no idea the world would descend and make a novel of it - I am sorry, it must have been daunting to see this thread when you returned.
I suggest that in the future, if you notify one person, whether you regret it or not, you should notify other parties. To do otherwise can have the appearance, however unintended, of selectivity - favoring one editor over another, or focusing attention on one and not the other. Please note this will occasionally happen regardless. All one can do is one's best. Also; if you think the discussion is spiraling out of control, you can always notify the second party and mention that; eg: "I am notifying you about blah. It seems to be spiraling a bit out of control, and I'm not sure if you'll want to participate, but as I had already notified EditorYadda, I felt it only fair to also notify you." This may work to head off complaints.
Okay, this is a message I hope all of my watchlisters will pick up on, regardless of who they are. Over my brief Wikibreak, where I just wanted to do some other stuff for a time, I ended up thinking on this subject considerably and how I react to it. I came to the conclusion that I am very lenient towards it and why I am like that. While I will still be lenient towards it and won't hand out instant warnings to new users, some of the people who appear here to be MySpacey have been around long enough to know better and I will be gradually cracking down on it more and more. From now on, all MySpacey edits will be reverted without discussion. You're all aware of my e-mail address, it's not like I keep it hidden. Use that if you just want to chat. If it continues, warnings will start to appear on your talk page, regardless of where I see the MySpacing, whether it's here or on another talk page. Thank you for reading and I hope everyone takes this into account. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds18:34, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Anyway, have a good morning/night, whichever you prefer looking at the clock. --Taelus (talk) 00:58, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Bro, try to confirm sections I edit before reverting. Correlation does equal causation in the case of "random IP" edits. I prefer not to log in for my edits. You know I prefer not to do this for every Bioware game, remember the ending of DA:O? Thanks muchos.Chuglur (talk) 03:14, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Grunt: You asked in an edit summary "where is Grunt recruited again?" In that same edit, you deleted a citation saying where he was recruited. Where is your citation for Grunt being "genetically engineered"?
Subject Zero: Yes, she's found on Purgatory (not "stub"), that was confirmed in a trailer. Where is the source that she is called "Jack." Yes, I know it can be a nickname for a woman, but it would require the full name in the article.
Mordin Solus: Where is your source for changing his recruiting location from Tuchanka to Omega? Where is your source for any of it? And it's "genophage" not "xenofage". Learn to read subtitles.
Samara: Likely, and would have just got a citation needed tag from me if it had been edited in on it's own, but combined with the other edits, I just reverted that one with the others.
Legion: Where is your source for Legion being recruited on the Reaper seen in the trailers?
Harbinger: Where is your source for Harbinger even existing. Besides, the trailers showed that it was the Collector leader that took control of others on the battlefield to make them more powerful. The Collector leader is clearly organic.
You have provided absolutely no proof that you are not a pirate. If all this is true, then it can be edited in by someone else when the game has been played. I was willing to concede the Dragon Age point to you, but not this one, not when the game hasn't been released yet. If you can provide proof that you work for BioWare in any capacity, then so be it, I'll help you. If that is not the case, which I suspect is true, then post on the talk page for discussion and so, if another editor can confirm the edits, then they can spruce it up to be of some form of quality and then add it in. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds03:42, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Look I can cite in game dialogue like citation 3 of that page but I prefer not to. At this point it is an initial draft. I don't have time to sit down and make it completely awesome and conforming to all standards and practices. However I am putting up what I can remember of the the game in hopes people will expand and help as is the spirit of wikipedia. I assume you have been playing the game for 2 hours at least now. Grunt is actually the Doctor Okleer file in game. I'm almost 100% sure he isn't recruited on Omega as I only remember Mordin and Garrus on Omega. You should have gotten the initial Illusive Man dossiers where subject Zero is listed as Jack and Grunt as Dr.Okleer. Legion just is for now, not sure how to handle him yet, he's trying to cure a virus by the Reaper Geth faction and was on the Reaper extracting information before you recover him. Harbinger is shown as possessing the Collector general in the 2nd to last scene in the game and I can be a real asshole and spoil the last scene but I won't. Look all I ask is if I don't make total bullshit edits like "Sheppard is gay and sucks cock." just leave it for a few days with a citation tag up so others can help or I can finish it when I have time. We're not full time paid Editors you know.Chuglur (talk) 03:52, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Actually, I haven't been playing it at all, because it hasn't been released. Even then, England gets it three days behind America, hence why today was to be my last day editing the articles for a while. So... yeah... how did you get a hold of this copy of the game I wonder? --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds03:54, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Look whatever, I get it, my help on wikipedia isn't welcome. I tried to be civil but you accusing me of this is technically libel unless you can prove it and I really don't have time to spend fighting this because you obviously care a lot more about whatever it is you care about. So I leave all Bioware articles in your hands. Also according to the fundraiser, wikipedia is a pool of knowledge. See thats as relevant as "Chuglur I suspect you of being a pirate therefore you edits are not relevant. Carry on then.Chuglur (talk) 04:02, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
You have information on an unreleased game with no citations and no explanation for this knowledge. If you had citations from reliable sources, I would be perfectly happy to assist you with updating this article, I really would be. But right now, all I have is your word versus a not-yet-arrived release date and a known torrent leak. I invite you to give me any other explanation for it. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds04:08, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Heh. Can't. NRA doesn't exist in England because we have far tighter gun laws than America (here, virtually no-one can legally own a gun). I'm taking a look at the edits and drafting an updated review right now. And don't worry. I've updated my user page far more than you have. Just try to keep a reasonable balance between article work and userspace work (though if you're working on an article in the sandbox, that's perfect acceptable). --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds13:32, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
It looks like you just used the ' twice on your keyboard. For references we use ". That should explain it. If it doesn't, let me know. -- /MWOAP|Notify Me\ 17:44, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
Ok, well I can see what you mean. In what I can see with the revisions (i have added a few widgets though) is that there is a physical difference between the two, I just can not tell why. You could take it up on the IRC channel #wikimedia-techconnect. Hope you figure it out. -- /MWOAP|Notify Me\ 16:44, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
You too. "In some cases you may wish to leave a note on their talk page, on the wiki, for example to say the e-mail was received, or a brief reply. Since e-mails are usually sent as a private communication, it is often courteous to keep a reply on the wiki as brief and non-privacy breaching as possible, since the sender will usually expect a private reply." I responded with only one word directly quoted. Consider it an expansion on the warning, explaining it further for both you and others who might be interested. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds17:48, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
Accepting my apology
Thanks. It has been a crazy day. I fired that email off after the rather odd reply to my initial AN/I post that stated it was not a confirmed hoax, after I had clearly said that it was and that I had an email confirming it. I do have permission to report the email but you are right I didn't have full permission to give all of the details at the time of posting. Anyway the whole thing is sorted now. This was/is a very serious hoax as it is very elaborate and professional looking and there have been criminal cases involving Rothschild hoaxes in the past.

I have no idea how i ended up on your page however i must say that is the Best use of a picture for a user page i have ever seen, some look really tacky and half assed, but that picture looks awesome how it is, you should be proud of it. Cheers ZooPro05:04, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Moved to my talk page. Unfortunately, I'm not active on the ME pages right now as the game only comes out in Europe tomorrow (and I'm annoyed because I may not actually get to play it untl Saturday) and I want my experience to be spoiler-free. As soon as I finish one playthrough, I'll return to activity there, but not until then. Try bugging Taelus (talk·contribs), see if she can help out a bit. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds19:39, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
Commanderfarvel, I'll be happy to help out. I've edited everything up to the Soundtrack section as of today and added quite a bit of information for the characters including loyalty quests; I hope you approve of my edits. :) If anybody sees any information that may be wrong, feel free to tell me and I'll try to fix a mistake as soon as I can. I'll see if I can't finish sprucing up the article by the end of this week. -- Kilkia123 (talk) 01:23, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I really don't know what to say right now, other than those 2 admins and you really surprised me with your kindness. I responded here basically to apologize to you. I have put you through a lot of crap during this adoption thing. I really am an emotional person, and let emotions get the best of me. I am really at a Wiki crossroads right now, and I can't tell what is going to happen next. I can assure you that my self-pitying behavior WILL stop and stop now. I'm behaving like a child and need to grow up some. I really don't know what's going to happen next, but I definitely won't be on here again for a long time. I don't know when I'll be back but when and if I do return, do you promise to help me still? And on an added side note, are people watching me? You have nade several messages about people telling you things about me. I have no problem with it, but I would like to know who it is... Tech43 (talk) 04:36, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
I'll help when you return if you feel you still need it at that point. And I contacted Caribbean H.Q. when you asked me too (and he was the one to tell me this was happening (I never would have noticed right now)) and I asked Leonard^Bloom for a copy of the deleted page just to see if there was anything in there that I could use to convince you to stop. As far as I can remember, that's all I've contacted people about. (retreats back into Wikibreak) --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds10:50, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
