Your signature
Hello there, I was wondering if you would please modify your signature to conform to the guidelines laid out at Sign your posts on talk pages. The general guidelines are that signatures shouldn't contain images, they shouldn't contain unnecessary internal links or any external links, and they shouldn't be unnecessarily long in Wiki source. The reasoning for this final bit is that overly long signatures tend to overwhelm the actual comments in edit mode, making it hard to track down and respond to specific comments. You can fix your signature by removing any images and external links, any unnecessary links (like links to Wikipedian organizations, articles, or subpages in userspace), and removing excessive color, font, and formatting code. Thank you.

Additionally, you are using some sort of JavaScript to modify the way dates are displayed in your signature. This needs to be stopped immediately. A lot of bots rely on the common format of timestamps in signatures to properly function in archiving talk pages and such. Your signature's timestamp won't be recognized as valid, so it's possible any comment you make to a talk page that is archived automatically could be archived immediately because a bot won't see a valid timestamp and thus won't know how old it is. -- Cyde Weys 20:07, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Your title corrector doesn't seem to be working anymore. -- Tantalum Telluride 19:05, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

My RFA
Thank you, Haza-w, for voting on my RFA, which passed 95 to 1. Now that I have the mop, I hope I can live up to the standard, and be a good administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. —     21:18, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Go raibh maith agat!
Hi there, haz!

Thank you so much for supporting my RfA! It ended up passing and I'm rather humbled by the support (and a bit surprised that it was snowballed a day early!). Please let me know if I can help you out and I welcome any comments, questions, or advice you wish to share.

Re: A Final Hit Date Alteration
yes, I know this about date display in the user options, but wikipedia also states that articles on a UK subject should use british english format and articles on american subjects should be in american english format, that's my reasoning.--Chappy84 21:08, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Separating block/unblock on Caction tool
Hi Haza-w. Could you please separate the two functions please since they actually uses two different forms and you lose the pre-filled username field switching from the block to unblock page. The URL for unblocking is

Thanks. --  Netsnipe  ►  14:12, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

My RfA
Hey Haza,

I just wanted to thank you for your support in my recent request for adminship, which passed unanimously with a final tally of 38/0/0. I appreciate your trust, and will do my best to uphold it. Don't hesitate to let me know if you ever need anything. — TKD::Talk 05:23, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Hide templates
Hi,

I had presently a shork talk with you, when Iwas lokking for something like french template Boite déroulante. Even by searching 'hide template', I didn't find anything which fits with what I aim.

You may know english wikipedia better than me, and since you proposed me to ask you for help, i do so.

Please answer here.

PS: I should tell you I would like to put some maps on Ages of Riven, read french article to see what i mean. Thanks.

Mean Girls Quote
What are you talking about? I added ONE quote to the quotes list of Mean Girls' page, not "large numbers". And anyway, there's loads of other quotes on the list too, so what about them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.12.125.68 (talk • contribs) 18:24, 26 November 2006


 * Hey, Haz.


 * It dosen't matter that you made that mistake, I was just a bit confused when I first read your message, LOL. I apologise too if I sounded angry in my reply, as I didn't mean to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.12.125.68 (talk • contribs) 21:04, 26 November 2006

Your welcome template
I like your welcome template the best of all the welcome templates. I use it all the time -- thanks for writing it. --A. B. 13:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * FYI -- I like your template so much, but I wanted something a little different for anon IPs, so I tweaked it some; see User:A. B./WelcomeAnon.


 * Thanks again for your great contribution to making Wikipedia a welcome place for newcomers! --A. B. 13:42, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Block/unblock feature
I know it's been a while, but I've completed the feature you requested, which queries whether the user is blocked or unblocked before directing to the appropriate page. It should work with any user page, including redirects.

It may still have a bug or two, so if you find errors, let me know, along with which page you were on, what your error console/dialog returned as the error, and which browser you're using.

Thanks very much for your idea, and I hope the new feature works as you hoped. haz (talk)  e  17:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks, but unfortunately, it doesn't work properly. It always brings up Special:Blockip regardless of whether a user is blocked or not. Would you like me to lend you my account for a day so you can debug it? --  Netsnipe  ►  13:44, 7 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Strange, it works OK for me. For blocked users, it goes straight to the unblock page.


 * Go to a blocked user's user (talk) page and use User options > Vandals > Current block list. Does the page look like this? Image:Cactions bug ipblocklist.JPG


 * Probably a silly question, but could you try Ctrl-F5ing?


 * As for the 2 errors, the first is a global CSS error that's not my doing, I actually reported it this morning to MediaWiki talk:Common.css but was told that it's going to stay there as it's not causing any harm.


 * I noticed the second error yesterday, as it was the first time that I gave myself "admin" powers on the tool. The script looks for an undelete tab to remove, even if one doesn't exist. Shouldn't be too hard to remove.


 * Let me know what happens with Ctrl-F5. Oh, another thought: hovering over the "Block/unblock" link, do you get an HTTP or Javascript link coming up in the statusbar? Anyway, get back to me. Haza-w.debug 16:11, 7 December 2006 (UTC)


 * JS error fixed. Clearly I can't do anything about the CSS error, it's nothing to do with me... I still can't see any reason why "block/unblock" shouldn't be working. Try Ctrl-F5; if that fails, then ding me again. Haza-w.debug 16:36, 7 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Fixed it! You admin types get an extra "block" link which threw my script right off. Should be fine now. haz  (talk)  e  16:44, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Works like a charm now. Thanks for the new feature. I really appreciate it, so give me a nudge nudge wink wink when you're up for RFA. Cheers,  Netsnipe  ►  16:50, 7 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Haza, I've found a minor bug. Your unblocking tool needs to encode underscores or spaces in usernames for the unblock user link. --  Netsnipe  ►  08:26, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Lowercase1.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Lowercase1.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —Remember the dot (t) 16:54, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:A Final Hit.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:A Final Hit.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 05:15, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Faithless We Come 1.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Faithless We Come 1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia message
I was just reading posting a message to User talk:Pkosastra and I noticed you Welcome to Wikipedia message. Personally I think that it looks a little daunting, particularly for a new comer.It is great that you are welcoming them warmly but don't you think it's a bit scary when faced with a giant box with lots of writing and things to do and learn... Anyway, just me saying a think that the welcome box is a little big. If you need clarification or reply, I will watch this page for a while. Thanks,  Monkeyblu e  13:33, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
