Re: RfA
I'd say that's a wise idea, but obviously it's your call. In my opinion, a willingness to accept the fact that you need more experience demonstrates maturity, so you're already off to a good start. :) – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:53, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I agree. If you're getting constructive feedback (as I hope mine was!) then let it run - you'll get far more feedback this way than by opening an editor review. Of course, if it starts to get nasty or if you've had enough, then withdraw. But hopefully it won't. Best wishes, &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:44, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

question
Since you are applying to become an admin, and admins should know everything, I have come to you with a question. When should the Shared IP template be used? If you reply here, please leave a talkback at my talk page. Thanks (and good luck on the RFA) Griffinofwales (talk) 04:49, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The template's documentation states:

The SharedIP template is an IP user talk page template that shows helpful information to IP users and those wishing to warn or ban them. It takes two arguments, one required and one optional: the name of the organization to which the IP address is registered (preferably wikilinked or at least hyperlinked) (required); and the hostname (optional). It adds pages to Category:Shared IP addresses. It should not be substituted, but transcluded.


 * I'm pretty sure you're allowed to place it on the user talk page of anonymous editors when it has been confirmed that multiple editors use the IP. Hope that helps.  <font face="Papyrus"> -  down  load  <font color=#7B68EE>׀  sign!  05:01, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I was just checking to see if a vandal had to use the IP before the template was placed.

When should Template:ISP be used? Griffinofwales (talk) 05:06, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure it should be used when it is confirmed that an IP address is not stable, and after the internet connection is disconnected, the IP address is used by another person. This is different than sharedIP as the SharedIP template may show that two or more people who use the same computer/internet connection on a regular schedule.  <font face="Papyrus"> -  down  load  <font color=#7B68EE>׀  sign!  01:21, 6 May 2009 (UTC)


 * That's why you submitted a RFA and I didn't.

Is there an easy way to know if IP addresses switch computers? Griffinofwales (talk) 01:35, 6 May 2009 (UTC)


 * That's the tricky part. It's either placed by the IP address itself, when there's multiple editors from a company, etc.  In other cases, you'd need to refer to the editing style of the IP, and see if it might be shared.  However, this is not always correct.  So, I guess there is no easy way to do so.  If you'd like to welcome IPs and encourage them to create an account, you could try adding {{subst:welcomeIP}} to their talk page though.  <font face="Papyrus"> -  down  load  <font color=#7B68EE>׀  sign!  01:38, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

At your RFA a nominator mentioned a GA you worked on but you removed it from your list of articles because you only did some minor edits. You added the article to your user page at 1:18 GMT December 18, 2008. This might explain something. Griffinofwales (talk) 01:48, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I really have no idea why I added the article, but looking at my contributions I believe that I added it as I made some important edits to Linkin Park's songs. <font face="Papyrus"> -  down  load  <font color=#7B68EE>׀  sign!  02:34, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Another question! Are IP addresses allow to blank their own talk pages? Griffinofwales (talk) 21:23, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, they are. In fact, all users can remove anything off their talk page other than unblock templates while they are still blocked.  <font face="Papyrus"> -  down  load  <font color=#7B68EE>׀  sign!  21:58, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

I saw your post at ANI. Were you serious about retiring? Because I don't believe you (no offense). Griffinofwales (talk) 01:28, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Your RfA…
…unfortunately did not demonstrate the consensus necessary to become a sysop; I'm sorry. However, you received both support, and advice from those who did not feel you were ready at this time. Hopefully, if you are still interested, you can use this as a wiki-learning experience and further develop the skill and judgment that would allow you to gain the community's trust.

Something I think you better check out...
Hi Download. While contributing to a discussion on Timeline of United States inventions, a user left a message at the bottom of the section saying the following;

I'll simply repeat myself by suggesting that this list be deleted and that the list items be worked into their respective articles. I find no justification for this list beyond an affirmation of "American exceptionalism," which would be a rather unencyclopedic stance to take. If deletion is off the table and the best that can be hoped for is a name change, then I suggest we merge this list with "America, Fuck Yeah" and use that title, which approximates the vibe that this list gives off.

I think something should be done about this. If you want to find this on the talk page, its the eighth paragraph on the Name change section. I just thought something should be done about it and have no idea what to do.  Ross Rhodes (  T   C  ) <sup style="color:teal;">Sign!  20:04, 17 May 2009 (UTC)


 * This hasn't violated Wikipedia policy, as this user is just expressing his opinion. However, it's quite unreasonable suggesting the article be renamed to that name.  If this user starts acting like a troll, you could possibly take this to WP:ANI.  As for my opinion, I think the name is adequate as it expresses the same idea in a short title; otherwise, it could be changed to Timeline of inventions from the United States.  <font face="Papyrus"> -  down  load  <font color=#7B68EE>׀  sign!  02:19, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

This should be an easy fix - I think section titles such as "And what about Russia?" and "Reflections" may need to be reworded.  <font face="Papyrus"> -  down  load  <font color=#7B68EE>׀  sign!  22:47, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, now I understand. Well, you already changed the first of these titles, and I - the second, so I think that the template can be removed, which I just did. Of course, if there are more sections whose titles can be improved, feel free to do it, or (if you feel appropriate) put that template again, noting which other section titles need rewording. Thank you for this! Лъчезар (talk) 07:08, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Me again.
Hi Download, I just wanted to ask: is it possible to get my userpages protected? Like how you can protect articles, and if so, I would like my talkpage semi-protected too.  Ross Rhodes (  T   C  ) <sup style="color:teal;">Sign!  19:16, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It is possible to protect all pages on Wikipedia. However, pages are not protected preemptively.  I've checked your userpage and talk page and find no signs of vandalism; therefore, a protection request will most likely be denied.  However, I would strongly discourage protecting one's talk page in any way unless messages become threats and release personal information.  Should you ever have any vandalism on a page in your userpage, however, you can go to WP:RFPP to request page protection.  <font face="Papyrus"> -  down  load  <font color=#7B68EE>׀  sign!  22:27, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Just to say, I got my userpage semi-protected, which was good enough. Thanks for telling me where to put a request! :)  Ross Rhodes (  T   C  ) <sup style="color:teal;">Sign!  20:46, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi
Hey mate ! Wats the use of a Accounts creator Permissions. what can we do with that permissions Subash.chandran007 (talk) 09:26, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The account creator permission allows you to create accounts for other users who cannot do so using the automated process. This privilige allows you to bypass the 5 new accounts per day limit.  For more information, see Request an account/Guide.  You can also request this permission at WP:PERM.  <font face="Papyrus"> -  down  load  <font color=#7B68EE>׀  sign!  22:37, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

My new secret page.
I made a new secret page! Can you find it? Try! --Sushiflinger (Goldblattster) (talk!) 15:19, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Just found it. :)  It was quite hard to find.  <font face="Papyrus"> -  down  load  <font color=#7B68EE>׀  sign!  21:06, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for saying it was hard. I am not sure if you did, but the plan was to go to User:Sushiflinger/sandbox2 and click on the "0101010101" link, and then you would go to the penny page. I was thinking of making it "harder" also so that I could upload the image saying congrats instead of text because usually the image on the bottom would load last, but I decided not to because if they found the image page they could find my secret page. --Sushiflinger (Goldblattster) (talk!) 12:48, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
