User talk:I dream of horses/2010/September

PROD of Giovanni Arlexis Vilomar Renteria
I can't agree at all with the edit summary removing this prod. See my comments at User talk:DGG. I've reverted all the other edits by editor, and if DGG doesn't respond today will delete the article and block the editor. Dougweller (talk) 08:58, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Just FYI, Giovanni Arlexis Vilomar Renteria went to AfD. --I dream of horses (T) @ 20:28, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, thanks. Someone, maybe me, will be blocking the editor who created the article.

Summaries
Sorry about that. I'll keep that in mind for the future. Lechonero (talk) 17:58, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't apologize; it's a very common mistake. :-) - (T) @  18:28, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Re: September 2010
Oh, sorry. The next time I'm editing I'll type a reason in the edit summary. - User talk: Tirari —Preceding undated comment added 09:49, September 11, 2010.

Thanks...
...for catching the vandalism :-) ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 21:30, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem! --I dream of horses (T) @ 04:54, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Use of edit summary template
What was the purpose of this edit? The changes were to the user's space, not an article. VQuakr (talk) 21:28, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Nine times out of ten, I use that template for good faith, summaryless edits that mistakenly get overly marked for vandalism by vandal fighter. If the consensus, however, is that you don't really need to use summaries for user space edits, then I can stop. --I dream of horses (T) @ 00:56, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It seems hard to justify templating someone for not using an edit summary for edits to their own user space. To me, it came across as too WP:BITE-ey. VQuakr (talk) 02:54, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Isn't it just as WP:BITE-ey to leave a new person ignorant of what the social norm is, and to leave a more experienced editor ignorant of the fact that their summary-less edit tripped up anti-vandal tools partially because of a lack of edit summary? --I dream of horses @ 20:51, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Not remotely. The point of WP:BITE is tolerance to newcomers, not shortening the list of edits without summaries. A quick glance at the user's contributions shows that they have been consistently using edit summaries in their article space edits. VQuakr (talk) 03:43, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. I'll think I'll check the persons' contribution history for now on. --I dream of horses (T) @ 03:13, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Dove
Thanks for the dove! Enjoy your vacation. VQuakr (talk) 05:24, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
 * You're quite welcome! I hoped you would enjoy the sentiment. :-) --I dream of horses (T) @ 23:52, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

WP:DTTR
Hey Idoh, just quick reminder that it's best to check out who you're supplying templated notices to per WP:DTTR. I noticed you gave one to an editor of long-standing this evening for simply forgetting to add an edit summary. This could have been better handled with a personal message rather than an automated message. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:12, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I follow the advice given by WP:TTR rather than WP:DTTR. Remember, both are merely essays and not policies. I try to not give warnings to people who have a habit of using edit summaries per an earlier discussion. --I dream of horses (T) @ 19:17, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sure after 32,000 edits this user is entitled to WP:DTTR... Certainly not worth a template. I am fully conversant with what is and what isn't a policy, but thanks for your helpful reminder.  The Rambling Man (talk) 19:20, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Gee, that sounds rather discriminatory. If you are a new person, you get a cold, hard template, if you've been around a while, you get a friendlier, warmer message. If anything, it should be "Don't template the newcomers", not "don't template the regulars", and that's why I adhere to WP:TTR instead. We'll just have to agree to disagree on this. --I dream of horses (T) @ 20:36, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:37, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Edit summaries
You are right, of course. I sometimes forget. Thanks for reminding me. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 19:13, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, just try to remember for now on. :-) --I dream of horses (T) @ 19:17, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!
You're pretty cool! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Venku Tur'Mukan (talk • contribs) — Preceding undated comment added 23:16, September 24, 2010

Dynamic IP box
Hi I got a Dynamic IP box on my message page sent from you. What does that mean? I received it from you after I was editing a page, the infobox was lacking information, then I accidentally put in wrong date, then fixed it. 24.188.204.121 (talk) 09:07, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, all that means is that your IP address changes periodically. This is something people need to know for blocking and stuff. --I dream of horses (T) @ 19:49, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Care Bears
Apparently, you really did the right thing about this pop-culture section, which I find constitutes WP:Trivia. By the way, I have my sights set on a revamp later this week. Care to join me? --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 13:48, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not much of a "watchlister", so I always go from one article to next, correcting them, tagging them, etc., but never really sticking around. So, I'm not sure when I'll return to the care bears article, but since you asked me to help out, it's definitely a "when", since you're right, it needs definite revamping. --I dream of horses (T) @ 07:59, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
