Re: Carter is on the decline
It's funny, because I was almost tempted to only add the part about his decline. I added his score in that game, because I didn't want to be too biased (I'm a Raptors fan), and I also wanted to keep it neutral. Blackjays1 (talk) 14:53, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Macarthur railway station, Sydney
Before you change the timetable details for Macarthur railway station, Sydney, check the timetable on http://www.131500.com.au which shows that there a local short distance diesel trains that stop at both Macarthur and say Picton or Moss Vale. Longer distance diesel trains such as the XPT (Canberra) and Xplorer (Canberra & Griffith) trains do not stop at Macarthur.

The only recent timetable change is that local trains no longer go past Moss Vale to Bundanoon and Goulburn.

Uploading photos
I take photos when I can, but depending on your camera there may be an advantage on taking photos when light conditions are good. There is no problem with having people in photos.

There isn't any point in sending me photos, it is better to learn to upload them yourself (once you have them on your computer): You can then go back to Wikipedia and add the image or in infobox image=x railway station.jpg --Grahame (talk) 06:26, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) go to Wikimedia Commons (this is found at the bottom of the main page).
 * 2) click upload file. This brings up some quesions
 * 3) click entirely my own work
 * 4) click browse to find photo your computer
 * 5) put in destination file name eg "x railway station" and fill in description and date
 * 6) click one of the licensing options (if you don't, photo will get deleted in due course)
 * 7) add
 * 8) click upload file
 * Metadata is automatically included in the photo file by the camera.--Grahame (talk) 06:46, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: George W. Bush
I know - it's the most vandalised page on Wikipedia and has been for some time - even by November 2004 it already had 25,000 revisions. George W. Bush is still alive as ever and is still the president of the U.S. ... I don't see the point of full protection of his article. I don't like watching complex articles like that because I'm not so interested in the debates about them. I prefer searching for vandalism to obscure articles - I find it much more rewarding. Graham 87 10:28, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

"Friend of" Userbox
I edited your page based on the outcome of this Templates for deletion discussion. One of the norms for userboxes on Wikipedia is that they are moved from the "Template:" namespace to the "User:" namespace if they do not directly relate to editing the encyclopedia or are controversial. This is known as the userbox migration or the German userbox solution because it was a compromise reached after a considerable amount of controversy regarding userboxes and the solution was drawn from the German Wikipedia. Because some editors felt it was a controversial userbox, I moved the template from Template:User friends with to User:Voyagerfan5761/UBX/friends with while leaving the content within the userbox the same. My edit to your page was simply updating to  so that the template would continue to work on your page. I did this on a large number of other editors' pages as well, using an semi-automated editing tool called AutoWikiBrowser. The userbox was ultimately kept due to a lack of consensus in this Miscellany for deletion discussion. I hope this answers your questions. Best, IronGargoyle (talk) 19:43, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Wiki question
Hi J Bar. I have seen that you have taken a lot of pics and are an expert at this, just want to ask you what picture on wikipedia do you think is the most popular as in the number of talk pages it is placed on. take a look at this for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:010105_fireworks2.jpg I was just interested thats all. Thanks Roadrunnerz45 (talk) 11:26, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that's interesting to see. I'm not sure how you could find out which photo is most used on wiki articles but I wouldn't be surprised if somebody has come up with a way of doing that. Recently, another contributor told be about a site that keeps a record of the number of hits each article has had. It's quite intersting. The site is at if you want to check it out. J Bar (talk) 22:17, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with the above link although it is a little out of date - but since it runs from database dumps, that's understandable. x42bn6 Talk Mess  12:34, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the info on the most popular user pages on wiki. J Bar (talk) 21:45, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Editcount
The reason my edit-count is so high is that I'm not daunted when something needs to be changed in many places, and I'm doing a lot of minor fix-ups. For example I tagged 3000 maps of US counties as GFDL, and made a manually checked tidy up to about half the album articles. Most of my edits (90%) are made by User:SmackBot and there are about another 10 bots that have made more edits than my account. I also run up a fair few edits manually testing stuff for SmackBot, and fixing the exceptions that SB can't cope with. Rich Farmbrough, 15:33 5 March 2008 (GMT).

CityRail Photos
Hi there - thanks for your offer of help - I and the others who have helped with CityRail photos (like J Bar) would really appreciate it. In general I like photos without people, but when you're talking about the CBD it's kind of hard not to take people in the pictures (unless you go in at 5am or something like that, which is unreasonable.) In terms of license I often use (Creative Commons ShareAlike Attribution) - it's what Flickr and other sites use for free-licensed photos. It allows people to attribute the photo to yourself, and only share copies with a similar license to yours. It's not perfect but I don't think any of them are.

I have a list of photos that need taking and stations without photos. J Bar and others have done an excellent job on most of Sydney so it's really only the west, north west and south west of Sydney where photos are lacking (and areas a long way outside of Sydney). The Light Rail stations are nearly all missing photos (except in the Glebe area) and I haven't even drawn up a list of monorail stations so any of them would be helpful too. Go here for the list. Any of the missing ones are a big priority - then all of the photos will need a platform and entrance photo. JRG (talk) 02:16, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know if you can delete your old photos in commons, but I guess might do it.--Grahame (talk) 10:32, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

The photos are very good. My only comment would be to try and include as much of the platform as possible. All the best getting the rest of the stations. JRG (talk) 05:53, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Great photos - thank you very much - but where is the Menangle Racecourse photo? I specifically put it on the list - did you see it? It's right behind the station, part of it even appears in your photos! Reply here please if you want to. JRG (talk) 12:09, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah you know what, i knew you were going to ask that. i was actually thinking about taking the photo of it from the end of the platform but I was specifically looking for the sign 'menangle racecourse' as you can see on NSWrail.net but maybe in the 6 years after they have demolished it or you have to trespass to look at it. They had something going on at the racecourse so i didn't want to test my luck but maybe i will take the photo of it from the end of the platform. There wont be anything special though, as you said you can see it from the current photo. Thanks Roadrunnerz45 (talk) 12:21, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Any chance of getting Douglas Park at any stage? - that would complete the line and would be very handy. Whne you have time I mean. JRG (talk) 08:55, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * JRG great to know your back after your wikibreak. Ill see what i can do about that, maybe week after next and i might see what i can do about getting a pic of the Racecourse photo. But the rest, especially the Western line i cant do. Surely there must be someone who lives in that area that can take some pics. Roadrunnerz45 (talk) 09:35, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Mike Carlton
I'm afraid I don't really see it as extreme. His writing style is to ridicule political figures. As for the political spectrum, he is left of centre but not really that extreme. Eg he criticises the NSW Labor party frequently too. Considering there's no use of descriptors like extreme for the host of other Australian commentators, I don't see why we need it in this case. Recurring dreams (talk) 12:19, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That's your political point of view, and that isn't really relevant here. Further, I can edit the article as I wish, although I do agree with you that it is fine as it is at the moment. Recurring dreams (talk) 03:28, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Model Farms HS
Re your message: Anybody can issue a warning, not just admins, but I think it would be best to just let things slide for now because the edit occurred awhile ago. The account hasn't made any edits since that one edit and to their user/talk pages. Hopefully it was a one time event. If not, a warning would be appropriate. I rechecked the article history and while there are very few good edits, the vandalism occurs very infrequently so page protection would not be very effective unless set for a long time and that's generally not done for pages that are not vandalized very often. Unfortunately, school articles are just a huge target for students leaving stupid jokes for each other or school rivalries. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 16:56, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Re your message: Thank you for the smiley. =) I do have a large number of edits as that comes with the type of work that I've decided to focus on at Wikipedia.  I didn't realize that I was up that high in the edit count list.  Interesting.  I'm glad to be of help.

Gamaliel comment
Thank you. I hate that admin. He's a frickin liberal who puts his politics into all his moderating. He took off something I said bad about Michael Moore (the truth!!!) and he calls it libel and removes it from the talk page.PokeHomsar (talk) 09:45, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Admins
No, its is certainly not required that admins have a userbox or badge on their userpage. As you noted my userpage clearly states that I am an admin, so there is no need for additional clutter. Given that anyone could claim they are an admin by adding a userbox or badge, it would be a very bad idea to rely on a badge or userbox to identify admins. We suffer from people falsely claiming to be admins already; rules on what an admin must do to their userpage would make this a much bigger problem. There isn't even a requirement to have a user page, whether you are an admin or not, let alone what you must put on it.

If you want to know if someone is an admin, look them up on the list of administrtors which is automatically generated and cannot be faked. Gwernol 11:06, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: BV edit
"BV" means "blatant vandalism" or "blatant vandal." The difference is, if somebody blanks half a page and replaced it with something like "Bold text" (for some reason, this is really common), maybe they did it on purpose, or maybe it was a test edit, or maybe they didn't realize what they were doing. Usually people would call it vandalism, but hey, maybe it isn't. On the other hand, if somebody blanks half a page and replaces it with "WIKIPEDIA LIKEZ TO EAT POOP ZOMG WTF", then they probably did that on purpose, and I would call it blatant vandalism ;)

As far as the long block on the IP, you know, it's always a tough call with IPs, because you could be affecting a lot of people who had nothing to do with it. (Or by the same token, if the person causing a problem has a dynamic IP, they could just log on the next day and have a different IP address and the block wouldn't matter) In the case you mention, it was a school IP, which is an even stickier situation. There are lots of legitimate reasons why students would have a need to edit Wikipedia, so you hate to block the whole school. But at the same time, a massive amount of vandalism and other problem edits come from schools.

When a school IP has persistent problems, a one-year block seems to be pretty standard. I figure the admins are thinking that after one year, maybe the troublemakers will graduate or they will be a in a different class (with no computers!) or will otherwise have found something else to occupy their time. heh... Anyway, it's a very tough thing to deal with.

Thanks for the interest, and happy wiki-ing! --Jaysweet (talk) 13:04, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

i have been on wikipedia for a while but i want to know everything there is to wiki from the basics like editing to vandalism to user names to babels etc. absolutely everything. I have tried to go through the intro but there are so many links to different things that i feel like i will always miss something or i just get confused.

RE: A question
Hmm good question. First thing, reverting (also known as rollback) is an administrator tool. That is not to say that I am an admin (like that would ever happen *wink*) I am another normal editor but I aquired it through request for rollback beacuse it would help me with reverting. Well I guess I should answer your original question about the difference. Undo is used to remove a certain edit from the page as long as no other edits have conflicted with the edit. Undo may be used at anytime as long as there are no conflicting edits. Undo can only remove 1 edit. Rollback however, removes the last edit and the ones before it if it was made by the same user, so in short, it reverts to the last edit before the alst editor. However rollback cannot do this if someone else has already edited after the edits (unlike undo). Thats as far as I know on the differences, I prefer to use Rollback because it as an auto edit summary and is very fast. Well I hope this helps.--Sunny910910 (talk 03:04, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: A suggestion
Thanks for the suggestion, but I kind of have my own way of doing the standings that the template doesn't show (row highlight for my team, playoff clinching symbol, etc.), like how I have the Rays' Grapefruit League standings on there, even though no one really keeps track of Spring Training, and definitely not on wikipedia. I know I don't update it a lot, but that's only because I'm a huge procrastinator, so I forget to do it, then when I remember to do it, I realize that all games haven't been played that day, and then I forget again, and usally the whole cycle starts over again. Plus, I kind of get self-conscious that if I do it a lot, when people check out my contributions, a bunch are going to be to my userpage instead of actual wikipedia stuff. But thanks for looking out! Sometimes I wonder if anyone actually checks out my userpage. Tampabay721 (talk) 02:42, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

re: Gun Control
No problem about asking my opinion on it. First, as to the college and high school shootings, those aren't common. What happens, though, is that when they do happen they make the news. Stricter gun control generally won't help because either the guns were procured illegally (i.e. Columbine) or in such a manner that stricter gun controls such as waiting periods wouldn't have stopped it (i.e. Virginia Tech). As far as criminal activity is concerned, generally those guns are acquired illegally (either the process is illegal, the gun itself if illegal, or the new owner isn't allow to have a gun) as well. Strict gun control won't curtail this since criminals, by their very nature, do not care about the law. In addition, problems with border security will still mean that criminals can get around strict gun control by smuggling guns through Mexico. Finally, there is issue of suicide. While, no doubt, limiting the number of guns will decrease the number of gun involved suicided, there are still plenty of other ways to commit suicide. What's stopping someone contemplating suicide from just using another method to achieve their goal?

On the other hand, there is some evidence to support that permitting residents to carry concealed fire arms reduces crime. Unfortunately, that information is hard to obtain because generally statistics aren't kept on the number crimes ended because the victim brandished a weapon. Also, when a victim does use a gun to protect themselves by shooting the perpetrator, the event is usually included in the "assault by fire arm" or "fire arm homicide" data since, technically, it falls under those categories as a justified event. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. JPINFV (talk) 14:32, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

RE: Rollback
Hi!

I do have rollback, yes, but I don't have it displayed on my user page because I don't really feel that there is a purpose to it. The purpose of the user boxes that I do have displayed is for the sake of someone being able to ask me for help in one of my areas of expertise (I use the word expertise very cautiously, I'm not really an expert in anything). No one will ever ask me to help them by using Rollback, you just use it at your own discretion.

Thanks. SWik78 (talk) 13:04, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion edits
Hi Roadrunnerz45. You're more than welcome. In answer to your question, deleted edits will not show up on a lot of contribution count tools (like the popular one at RFA by Interiot. However admins can see them, and they do count in your edit count under your "my preferences" tab. So don't worry - they are still there, just largely hidden from non-admins.

Why the redundant edit?
Hi Roadrunnerz45. I was the guy who removed some vandalism from the Indigestion article, but I notice from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indigestion&action=history that you reverted my edit back to the vandalism, then back again before the vandalism. The end result was the same - the vandalism was removed.

Seems kinda redundant. I already removed the vandalism, so why did you reverse my change then remove the vandalism yourself? It's like doing extra work for nothing. Was my quip in the edit history out of line or something? 121.45.112.251 (talk) 02:54, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

You've done a great job and deserve to be rewarded
Just want to say i think you should nominate the Boston Celtics 2007-08 Season as a good article, in fact it deserves to be a featured article. You have done a great job updating the pages and staying in touch with the news from the very start of the season and deserve to be rewarded by having the article preserved. I have no doubt it will get done, i dont know how the process works but it would be a shame if you didn't nominate it. The only thing missing was the pictures and now you've added 2.

Yeah, I've pretty much watched every game and read through every ESPN game recap and Boston Globe/Herald article and updated this page with all the needed information from there. I will definitely nominate it, but maybe you can help me? I asked on some talk page, but they said the season's not finished yet and therefore can't be nominated just yet.

Reverting several versions back
Things are going well here ... I'm on a two week break from studies which is always a good thing. To revert a page back to a previous version, click on the date in the page history you want to revert to, then click edit this page, as described at Help:Reverting.

Adminship and cakes
Hi Roadrunnerz45, and thanks very much for the cake you gave me for my birthday! I really appreciate it. In answer to your question about becoming an admin, well there's a general threshold of around 75% which is expected, but it's not a hard and fast rule. As a bureaucrat it's up to me to make sense of the community's opinions of a prospective admin when the support % is near the threshold. Even then, if it's too tough for me to call on my own then I'll speak to other bureaucrats about it to help make the decision. If you're interested then I'd suggest you read WP:ADMIN if you haven't already! All the best, and thanks again for your birthday wishes. The Rambling Man (talk)

Vandalism of Surviving Antarctica
Please do not Vandalise articles like you did to Surviving Antarctica. If you vandalise Surviving Antarctica again, you will be reported. Your edit of "your mom is ugly" is definately not constructive to Wikipedia. It looks as if you have enough experiance to not do things like that! --&#123;&#123;SUBST:user2&#124;Obaidz96}} (talk) 22:37, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Reporting on WP:AIV
That's because you edited above and below the List begins BELOW this line --> line. Don't edit the top part next in future, it's merely an example and the bot tries to correct the page when people accidentally edit it directly. My guess that the helperbot assumed that you had made a duplicate report and therefore clobbering the one you made beneath the divider. --  Netsnipe  ►  05:27, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

VP
I've not got it sorted yet but most people can use it. It sounds like one of the best anti-vandal tools out there but I'd recommend putting yourself up for others just in case you can't get it to work. I think it's my PC as most AVTs don't work for me. Anyway, good luck on your approval! ......<em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:#008000"> Dendodge . Talk Help 14:37, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: Hows VP?
I restored your message even though you reverted it. I have not yet resolved the IP address issue, and have received no guidance from the VP team. Sorry that I can't help you out much (I guess you were right LOL), but if I do figure something out I'll be sure to let you know. Happy hunting! - zachinthebox (Talk) 11:12, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Your question
Hello!

The reply to your question is here.

RfA thanks
Thanks for supporting my recent request for adminship which was successful with 89 supports, 0 opposes, and 2 neutrals. Unfortunately all I can offer is this lame text thanks rather than some fancy-smancy thank-you spam template thingy. I was very pleased to receive such strong support and to hear so many nice comments from editors whom I respect. I’ll do my best with the tools, and if you ever see me going astray don’t hesitate to drop a note on my talk page. Thanks again for your support!--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 03:37, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

thanks
Thanks for your message. I always appreciate feedback on my work here. I can see that you are doing a lot of great work here also. I hadn't seen Graham87 around before. But it's great that you are talking about users that you like, whereas usually people here seem to only talk about other users when they need to complain about them. When I started here almost 5 years ago, this was a much smaller community and I probably knew about most of the main contributors, but now there are over 1000 administrators and thousands of other users. Also I'm not on Wikipedia quite as much as I once was, since I've become much busier in real life, mostly as a student leader at my college. However, I plan to keep contributing and fighting vandalism here when I can. Again, thanks for your message, and even though I don't edit the areas you edit very often, don't hesitate to ask me for any help. Unless it's about images, I try to stay away from situations involving them for obvious reasons. Academic Challenger (talk) 20:51, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Er...
Now was this comment really called for? I'll admit I have a bit of a problem with my temper at times, but rubbing it in like that was unnecessary. I made that comment to Overlay because he's a "friend" of mine at school who tends to act like an ass at times.

Also... "unusual"?  21 <font color="#990000">6 55  ωhατ δo γoυ ωαητ? 16:31, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Move pages
When a page was just recently moved, you can move it back. However, when the moved page is already edited then you cannot. You need an admin to revert the move. I think now there are admins who are fixing those nonsense hagger pages. I'm not an admin. Dekisugi (talk) 11:43, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Thunderbirds
I wasn't aware those character articles existed, as they're not even linked! An image for each character on their pages is fine, although it'd be better to have a group shot on the main article. Alientraveller (talk) 12:54, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

User page
Thanks for the revert on my user page. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 14:48, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Thanks
No problem! I know how annoying it is to have your user pages vandalised! I've taken a few months off wikipedia for other things but I was quite surprised at how long it took to get some people blocked! I always thought there were far too many admins but maybe not if theres not always a couple of people watching AIV! Andyreply 22:47, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for your message on my talk page re: RfA reform and needing more admins. I think that, perhaps, one of difficulties with backlogs on WP:AIV is time of day. For example, I have almost never seen a backlog during EST evenings. Maybe we should have time zone of residence a factor in RfAs? ;-)  κaτa<span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">ʟ aveno TC 01:10, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
