User talk:Keegan/April 06

User deletion
As far as I know, it shouldn't be necessary to delete an account. there are already thousands of junk accounts from sockpuppets and people blocked on sight for usernames, etc., so there shouldn't be any harm in there being one more. bureaucrats can change usernames, but I don't know that anyone can actually delete a user. by the way, good work on the matt leinart vandal sockpuppet category. i'm adding a few more from my block log. let me know if you need anything, and keep up the good work.--Alhutch 06:46, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It is possible to delete an account. I think I saw this on User talk:Curps, but I'm not sure. Someone found a Curps imposter account that was blocked, yet didn't exist. Following on the dinosaur bones hence dinosaurs hypothesis, accounts which once were living and existant can become extinct and nonexistant. Of course, there are those people who say that the bones of the accounts were buried in the block logs by the infallible Jimbo the Merciful and don't actually prove the existence of accounts at all. :)&mdash;WAvegetarian&bull; CONTRIBUTIONS TALK &bull; EMAIL &bull; 04:29, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Matt Leinart, etc.
Thank you for your note. I've been trying to do better. I would like to expunge some of my earlier comments that were borne out of taking some things too personally, but it looks like they are part of my "Permanent Record". :\ Mostly, I've been cutting back on too-personal shots in the edit summaries, but I'm not perfect. :) Wahkeenah 08:05, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The one thing that really gets under my skin is the refusal of another party to discuss things. I can handle heated discussions, arguments over how to do things. I just don't like being dissed. But as you say, it's all part of the learning process. :) Wahkeenah 08:18, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * good job on the sockpuppet check. keep it up.--Alhutch 06:01, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 151.203.227.80 18:47, 2 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Kicks up feet Man it's fun when they do this. T   K   E  18:50, 2 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Wow, you even have it worse than the rest of us... Well, at least he's been blocked (yay, a three-hour break...). For the record: 151.203.227.80 is a vandal itself. --Chodorkovskiy 19:03, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Marshall pointers for your gf
I dont know how long she has been here, but here are some things she may or may not know by now: The Starbucks at Merrit Creek is much better than the one at Pullman Square and is worth the drive; Sams hotdogs are superior to Stewarts in every way; Hussons makes the best pizza (despite the creepy commercials) and Monty's is OVERRATED; Randy Moss is actually a good guy (despite what she might hear); tutoring at the student athletes program is a pretty good gig if she needs some spare cash; Gabriel Bros is a great place to find name brand clothes at Walmart prices (even if it requires some scavenging); and Julian's market in the South Side is the best place for meat and deli items (a bit pricey on other groceries, though). Oh yea, and if you can't go Greek, go Teke. :) Keep up the good work.  young american  (talk) 12:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The Java Joint does rock, but parking there is almost non-existant. Plus, it breaks my heart that the Calamity Cafe no longer exists (the former occupant).  young american  (talk) 02:29, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

ArbCom
I've been named party in an arbcom case, regarding AfDs. I'd ask that you go to WP:RFAR, go to the case entitled Monicasdude, and offer your thoughts as to my conduct in AfDs. If you'd like to know my thoughts about the case in general, that can be discussed on my talk page as well. Thanks. &rArr;  SWAT  Jester     Ready    Aim    Fire!  23:37, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Brittish
Yes, I believe it is, my apologies to those whom I've offended for following in the footsteps of my forefathers :). Though you may like my soapboxed comment on my User page. Thanks again, Mysekurity  [m!] 17:42, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

ROFL
ROFL!!!!.......I about died laughing reading that. &rArr;  SWAT  Jester     Ready    Aim    Fire!  18:22, 9 April 2006 (UTC)


 * LOL, I had a good chuckle too. The last time I remember coming across this was during the userbox fisacos. - Mailer Diablo 07:00, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to VandalProof
Thanks for your interest in VandalProof! You've been added to the list of authorized users, and feel free to contact me or post a message on VandalProof's talk page if you have any questions. AmiDaniel (Talk) 03:12, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Joseph Cardinal Zen vandalism revert
Be careful when you use a vandal-reverting tool. If a vandal makes several consecutive edits, it's important to revert all of the edits, not just one. See for instance, which left vandalism in place. -- Curps 06:41, 10 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the message, I was in the middle of typing one to you about it. I was trying out the VandalProof tool, but there's a script bug that wasn't letting me rollback properly.  I moved over to my browser to fix it but you caught it already.  Thanks for the work!  T   K   E  06:44, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

My sig
Strange, I'm surprised that I'd actually been noticed around the place. Still, people might forget who I am with this complicated new signature.ßlηguγeη | Have your say!!! 07:15, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Craig Cantin vs User talk:Craig.cantin
Hi there TKE! Just thought I ought to mention that the welcome message you added is on User talk:Craig Cantin instead of User talk:Craig.cantin. I made the same mistake myself when I tried to send a message to the user, and I had to have it speedily deleted! Con Dem Talk 13:59, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Whoah, hey, you're right. Tricky stuff, thanks for letting me know. T   K   E  16:36, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm happy to see the quote having some legs. Curious what you'll find for next week. Have a good one! Georgewilliamherbert 06:53, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey, you voted before I finished the nomination. Please check if you still want to delete. savidan(talk) (e@) 06:50, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

re: Just So You Know
''You don't have to vote delete on your nomination, it's assumed since you're the nominator. Just make sure the editor of the article has been notified, and it's off to the races!''
 * Okay I won't from now on. And as for notifying the editor, do I post to the editor that I have nominated this article for deletion? -- so U  m  y  a  S  ch  07:13, 13 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok. Thnx. :) -- so U  m  y  a  S  ch  07:24, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for supporting me in my RfA. I really didn't think people appreciate my work here that much, but it's nice to see you do: my Request was closed with 66 supports and 4 opposes. I'll do my best not to turn your confidence down. If in any point in the future you get the feeling I'm doing something wrong, do not hesitate to drop me a line. --Dijxtra 11:50, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup tag
Thank you for helping to identify Wikipedia articles for cleanup! In case you didn't know, it's not recommended to use subst: with the cleanup tag. Leaving the actual template in place helps make it easier to automatically refile the page later, and allows changes to the template to show up on all tagged pages. Thanks again, Beland 18:07, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Oops, I actually did know that. It was late and there was an AIV against the vandal and whatnot.  Sorry!  T  e  K  E  19:37, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.1 is Now Available For Download
Happy Easter to all of you, and I hope that this version may fix your current problems and perhaps provide you with a few useful new tools. You can download version 1.1 at User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof. Let me warn you, however, to please be extremely careful when using the new Rollback All Contributions feature, as, aside from the excessive server lag it would cause if everyone began using it at once, it could seriously aggitate several editors to have their contributions reverted. If you would like to experiment with it, though, I'd be more than happy to use my many sockpuppets to create some "vandalism" for you to revert. If you have any problems downloading, installing, or otherwise, please tell me about them at User:AmiDaniel/VP/Bugs and I will do my best to help you. Thanks. AmiDaniel (Talk) 06:51, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Done
Enjoy :) --Tawker 05:52, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar
Why thank you very much. As you noted, I've done a little bit of everything here over the last twelve months trying to find the niche that I fit into best. I'll probably run for adminship later this summer when I have more time to devote to the wiki, but right now I'm content, given my small amount of free time, to do vandal fighting and gnome work—I really should use the minor edit box more often. &mdash;WAvegetarian&bull; CONTRIBUTIONS TALK &bull; EMAIL &bull; 14:15, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Re:Barnstar and irony
I'm having fun right now because: Anyway, I'm still not sure how/why you came across my interaction with this person. Honestly, I don't really care. Thank you for your help in explaining stuff/calming them. I find that I am very good at explaining things including ref/help desk and working the help desk email list before it closed, but RC patrolling left me somewhat cynical and quick to jump to conclusions based on trends I observed. That's one of the reasons that I stopped RC work. I find I'm getting better, but being patient and sticking to AGF are the two areas I can improve in. Sorry, I just realized I was starting to write a self nom on your talk page. I'll save it for June:) &mdash;WAvegetarian&bull; CONTRIBUTIONS TALK &bull; EMAIL &bull; 04:15, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I've just used every type of wikimarkup hierarchical structuring format on talk pages in the last half hour (your's/yours[??] and the IP's)
 * I'm not studying for the mutliple tests I have next week.
 * I'm doing good work on the wiki.


 * Ha, I understand. Even being flamed, as long as I'm being civil it is fun for me.  I like the user's conversation with you as well, you are AGF with the user as you should be; the person truly did need explaining.  Translation problems make it more of a challenge, and all that more fun and valuable.  RC patrolling can be a lot less stressful once you know the editing patterns of whom to pay attention to and warn and whatnot; driveby vandalism just gets driveby revision from me.  And I came across your discussion in the Recent Changes using VandalProof, something you may be interested in.  T  e  k  e  04:27, 23 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh, and since you don't have a licensing disclaimer, I'm stealing your welcome message :D T  e  k  e  04:34, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It is a synthesis of others that I have seen. That's why it's so long. Please feel free to use it. As for VandalProof, I have been aware of it for a long time, but until there is a mac compatible version...&mdash;WAvegetarian&bull; CONTRIBUTIONS TALK &bull; EMAIL &bull; 05:04, 23 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I was teasing about the license, I'm not always serious. Anyway, someday on the VandalProof.  Until we meet again, happy editing!  T  e  k  e  05:21, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

User:TKE
I updated your boxen. The edit summary/diff explains quite well. &mdash;WAvegetarian&bull; CONTRIBUTIONS TALK &bull; EMAIL &bull; 04:24, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Old Skool Esperanzial note
Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Cel es tianpower háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that
I'm new and didn't realise I couldn't delete articles—I was going to delete it straight away, didn't mean to be an annoyance. Don't worry, I'm not going to create any more junk Callum85 18:17, 27 April 2006 (UTC)


 * :Absolutely not a problem, especially when I left a note for this guy at the same time as you and these  were the responses I recieved.  Anyway, read up on the links on how I make decisions on my userpage for a quick overview of the place.  Contact me anytime you need!  T  e  k  e  18:24, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your help. Question, how do I go about proving something is the truth without being able to cite some reference that can be linked to or anyone, who doesn't work for my company, can look up. --kev62nesl

RFA thanks
TKE good buddy, thanks for your support on my RFA. On another note, I'm about to update my user and talk pages: If you like it, let me know, and I'll try and work up a version for you: you can even pick the colors. &rArr;  SWAT  Jester    Ready    Aim    Fire!  00:55, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, but it still messes up the userbox version--it shows everything on the template page, not just the template, you know what I mean? See my userpage.-- digital_me ( Talk ) (  Contribs  ) 04:48, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Probably not the best way to vandalize my page: I meant write stuff like jews did wtc. don't want to pop on one day and see your user page with a "this user is a sockpuppet of willy on wheels and has indefinately been banned" boilerplate. &rArr;  SWAT  Jester    Ready    Aim    Fire!  05:53, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
