That old AfD is still around
Hey there! Would you believe the AfD Articles for deletion/Surplus business is still open? JungleCat   talk / contrib  02:43, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * This was the first time I have been through this process so I wasn't sure how it would work out or if anything would get done. I'm glad to see it is closed out now. There is nothing much more discouraging than to see our work taken over by corporate advertisements. That happens too often on the internet already so I hope it doesn't happen here too. Thanks for reporting the photos for copywrite violation.-Crunchy Numbers 14:38, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I saw earlier this morning an Admin finally closed it as a "Delete" due to the spam. I guess they were waiting for more user input for a consensus. I guess that's why it took a while. Catch ya later. JungleCat    talk / contrib  15:25, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

afd
I nominated an article for deletion but it turned out that it had been nominated a year ago so the link went to the old archived discussion. Then I tried to increment the nomination number with subst:nfd2 but it gave strange results when I saved the page. Then I reverted the page to the original nomination. The page is Cuisine of Kentucky.-Crunchy Numbers 20:17, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * You should use second . It is a bit confusing!  I didn't edit it so that you could start the nomination process.  -- Merope Talk 20:24, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!I'll start using the Show preview button more now.-Crunchy Numbers 20:28, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * If you still have problems getting it to work, I can set it up for you and you can fill out the deletion reason. I just don't want to nominate an article on behalf of another user.  -- Merope Talk 20:30, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I thought I had it done but someone pointed out I didn't put an entry in the afd log. Tried to but it didn't get it's own section title and shows up as part of another article discussion. Hopefully someone will fix it.-Crunchy Numbers 21:30, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't think so..
.. can you give some examples of my non-minor editing being marked as minor? — Prodigenous Zee - 09:51, 30 September 2006 (UTC)


 * The one I reverted and marked as a non-minor edit was one. Minor edits should be fixing spelling mistakes not introducing new ones.  I looked at your recent edits and in probably 30-40% of the ones marked as minor you had deleted or changed words and even paragraphs. Anyway I already pasted the guideline for non-minor edits for you in your user space.  Do what you want from here out. I'll unwatch Iron Maiden and you can knock yourself out. -Crunchy Numbers 15:20, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Re:Thanks for reverting spam
There are many anti-vandalism bots on Wikipedia, but they aren't particularly designed to handle external links spamming because the program fails to notice what is a good external link and what is not. However, it doesn't really make that big of a difference. Admins have a rollback button, so it's not that hard to revert back. -- Nish kid 64 18:57, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Reverting Problems
That was actually a typo on my user page. I'll fix that. O_o How many reverts are incomplete, may I ask? I typically do doublecheck and undo any I mess up. I'll check my browser settings to make sure it's not doing anything it shouldn't. On a side note, are the VandalBots working okay? The previous day I had notice in the History of pages that a lot of Bots apparently had reverted to vandalized edits as well. Again, sorry for the mix up. -WarthogDemon 18:08, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm, my settings seem alright, so from here on out whenever I spot vandalism I'll just go to the History Tab and revert from there (as opposed to the "edit" button under the "Previous Reversion." I'm guessing some of the unreverted vandalism comes from sections I can't see.  (Like a different vandal vandalizing a different section.)  Thanks for pointing this out, and sorry for the trouble. :) Peace. -WarthogDemon 18:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * With so much vandalism and trolling going around its easy to get a little paranoid. Sorry if I was a little heavy about it. You can click on previous edit to scroll back one difference until you get to non vandalized material. There can still be burried vandalism if someone edits unknowingly on top of vandalism. The history list is probably the best way.-Crunchy Numbers 19:09, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem, and thanks again.  Glad you caught myself so I can get better at this. -WarthogDemon 19:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Guitar
Thanks for pointing that out, I did indeed make a mistake on that one. Sorry, Gwernol 23:50, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I vandalized nothing. Please don't accuse me of that.
I didn't vandalize Guitar. Why are you accusing me of doing so? The only relevant change I found in Guitar's history was when I killed a spam link. -Will Pittenger 04:24, 18 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry about the vandalism warning then (I see you removed it anyway). As I explained in the Guitar talk page you did revert two consecutive times to vandalized versions of guitar after other people had already reverted the vandalism. That makes it accidental vandalism I guess. The first edit I was referring to was guitar Revision as of 03:05, 17 November 2006.
 * Actually, I archived it. Will (Talk - contribs) 08:38, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Your next edit after that reverted over more stuff that 141.150.109.100 had added. Both times you reverted to 141.150.109.100's version so it looked really suspicious.


 * I also found in your history that you had accused a newbie editor of vandalism to guitar when he had acutally removed it and convinced him that he had actually added something. That user is User talk:71.146.169.85. On his talk page after my comments you mention that you still can't find where he didn't vandalise the page. guitar at 04:37, 6 November 2006.


 * You also mention that the problem with your mistaken reverts is with Popups. I've seen lots of others use popups with no problems so I assume you made some mistake. You seem to make lots of other good contributions but things get complicated at guitar when the vandalism doesn't get reverted completely. If you are tired of seeing vandalism warnings, as you mentioned, then maybe that is a sign to quit using popups.-Crunchy Numbers 21:00, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

There is a bug with Popups. If you attempt to revert the current version, Popups pretends it succeeded -- even though it does nothing. Lupin is working on it. Will (Talk - contribs) 08:38, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Good job with the revert at the guitar article. My past revert apparently did not get all the vandalism, once again thanks...Keep up the good work.__ Seadog ♪ 23:13, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome and thank you.-Crunchy Numbers 23:14, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

revert problem
I thought I would check back with you and I see there are still some issues with your use of Popups.

In Taylor Lautner you reverted at 23:23, 1 December 2006. Your comment says --(Revert to the revision prior to revision 91475446 dated 2006-12-01 22:37:51 by Academic Challenger using popups)

What actually seems to have happened is you reverted to this version -- 22:37, 1 December 2006 71.251.181.169 (Talk) (→Personal life)

That was the first of the two vandalized versions by 71.251.181.169. When I compare your rev with this they are the same. I hope you get this figured out.-Crunchy Numbers 16:36, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Lupin appears to have been having problems. For a while, I was having problems reverting the version I wanted.  Either nothing happened or I ended up with the wrong version.


 * However, I rarely revert these days. At least that is true with items in my watchlist.  Typically, either a bot or a person has already reverted.  Trouble is, that the don't always warn the user.  In fact, most people don't bother.  Without those warnings, it is tough to get someone blocked. Will (Talk - contribs) 03:36, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Abusive "sky fairy" language
The edits by this guy are correct, but his language is of course unacceptable. If it concerns you, you might wish to endorse Requests for comment/89.242.164.114. Tb (talk) 18:22, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Please assume good faith. The edits were correct, the guy's language was completely inappropriate. I'm a speedy looker at the pages I watch. I contacted you because I was sufficiently bothered by his language to invite you to agree that his behavior was unacceptable. Tb (talk) 19:08, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Deer Vandalism
Sorry about that. Thanks for catching it. (I hate when that happens. It makes me look like the vandal!  Thanks for looking deeper.)  Kostaki mou (talk) 21:57, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
