User talk:Lartoven/Archive 2

FINAL chat with me, BunnyFlying
You actually bothered to read my blog[s]? I'm seriously flattered, but since I'm getting whiplash from logging on to ridiculous amounts of blog accounts, (and b/c of the suckiness of Bravenet blogs) I am just starting one blog and using tags to figure out the different sets. Please leave comments for me at my homepage's forums or something, at least until I decide which blog I am using as a main thing, since I think, as you so kindly pointed out to me, we should stop using Wikipedia as a social-networking site. Thanks. Unidentified Flying Bunny in the Sky TalkContribs 21:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Really Final Comments, I promise! (About Archival)
Thanks for the archival of my talk page-I was going to do it myself, but I couldn't figure it out. Isn't automatic archival of ONE DAY a bit much? Well, do what you like. I got a new email (parents still blissfully unaware): my first name pronounced backwards (divide into syllables and put them backwards) DOT my first name DOT my first name spelled backwards @ gmail.com. Use that to contact me instead of the talk page, and we can stop the whole rigmarole. And I intend to be at Chamber Music tomorrow. Unidentified Flying Bunny in the Sky TalkContribs 01:30, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

It has been done. Unidentified Flying Bunny in the Sky TalkContribs 03:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment
I was adding a helpful tip to "Teacher", Mr. Calvin.

My teacher is Mr. Holm and he is a great one. You need more examples under teacher, Mr. Holm has one many awards. So please stop being a meanie poo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.175.89.53 (talk) 01:23, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

QUESTIONS (urgent)
'''I've been trying to get User:MiszaBot III to auto-archive this talk page, but it doesn't seem to be working. Can someone check and see what the problem is? Thanks. Calvin 1998 (talk) 02:02, 9 January 2008 (UTC)'''

'The scripts for Twinkle and Friendly'' I have in my monobook.js page don't work. The scripts don't show up. There's no rollback in diff pages, and no additional tabs on the pages. As far as I can tell I have the code right, but can someone look at them? Thanks! '''Calvin 1998 (talk) 04:10, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * You may have to bypass your browser's cache in order to get the scripts to work. I hope this helps you. VivioFa teFan   (Talk, Sandbox) 08:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Just as a backup to what VivioFateFan said, that is correct. Try either "ctrl + shift + r" or "ctrl + F5".  Pump me  up  10:08, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No, bypassing cache didn't work, and I even cleared my cache. No results. I don't have ZoneAlarm or Norton Security, so not that either.
 * Try fixing this line "importScript {'User:AzaToth/morebits.js);" to read "importScript('User:AzaToth/morebits.js);"  Stwalkerster  [  talk  ]  22:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, you shouldn't need that line because morebits.js is included in Twinkle. If this hasn't fixed it, remove the "tlx|" from the helpme tag. :) Stwalkerster  [  talk  ]  22:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Nope, neither Twinkle or Friendly work. Cleared cache, still nothing. And the Friendly page says "importScript" won't let you import the same script twice, so there isn't a problem. Strange. Calvin 1998 (talk) 01:09, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, removing the morebits line seems to have fixed the problem. It's probably what Stwalkerster said on his first comment. Thanks to all of you! Calvin 1998 (talk) 01:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: finding Tor nodes
Simple. I have Tor installed, so I simply enabled it in Firefox, then kept telling Tor to provide me with a new exit node. Then, every time I got a new node, I went to Special:Mytalk (try this while logged out- it'll just show your username) and checked whether someone had dropped a notice about it being blocked on there.

Finding open proxies
There are various ways. The main way I use is to look at the ClueBot portscan or run the port scanners I have, and then use Firefox to connect through the IP as a proxy. Nwwaew (Talk Page) (Contribs) (E-mail me) 01:31, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Redirect
Hi Calvin,

I am new to Wikipedia. I would like the page that bears my name, after a search of "Greg Snyder", to list my biography. Someone with a similar name to mine, a "Ggreg Snyder" has a redirect on my page to his own biography. That's fine, as long as my info is not deleted and we can both be listed under my name heading. I updated my page before to talk about me, but someone deleted my info and returned it to his redirect heading. How can this be rectified?

Tell me how it works.

Thanks, Greg Snyder —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.57.44.85 (talk) 00:05, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

STS-123 prose
Hi! Thanks very much for your input regarding the structure of the STS-123 article. I have removed the prose tag you added, even though I agree with you that more use of prose in that article would be a "good thing." The trouble is in finding a way to do that. Do you have any suggestions for how it should be done? If so, let's discuss it at Talk:STS-123! (sdsds - talk) 02:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Isn't it obvious? It was vandalism, therefore I rollbacked it on-sight. Furthermore, when reporting false-positives, you should always provide a link to the article as well as a diff. Calvin 1998   Talk   Contribs  00:27, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:Ruby Ridge
Please stop trying to say that a 7th grader from California knows ANYTHING about what happened here in Idaho. the truth is thisa what would call a fedral agent shooting a 14 year old boy in the back: a hero? or a Murderer.

Hi Calvin 1998. Could you explain what this means? If you're able to identify open proxies through their access methods it can help when it comes to both blocking and unblocking them. Otherwise, without verification they are unlikely to be blocked. Let me know if I can help with your understanding of open proxies. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 18:42, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to User_talk:98.199.135.173 constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thanks. 98.199.135.173 (t-c) 19:41, 24 March 2008 (UTC))

Re: 112 vandalisms???!!
Yes, I have been vandalized that many times. This is not surprizing considering that at least 18500 of my ~20000 edits are vandalism reversions and warnings. Several people have asked me why I don't protect my userpages. This is what I told them:

Yeah, I know I get vandalized a lot. I've considered protecting my userpage, but in my mind, protecting my userpage does two things: The reason I have all that crap on my userpage is to force vandals to work if they want to vandalize my userpage unobtrusively. Unless you know HTML and wikimarkup fairly well, you will not be able to figure out what is going on with my userpage. So basically, the only thing they can do is blank the page and/or add content that will be obviously out of place. Or they can add stuff to that banner, which I could quote to you in my sleep... I see you all the time when I'm on huggle. Keep up the good work! J.d ela noy gabs adds 15:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) It lets the vandals win&mdash;"He warned me but he's scared I'll fight back, so he has his userpage protected."
 * 2) Not protecting it lets the vandals let out steam.&mdash;"I got blocked, but I sure told him off..." Since I don't care what vandals think about me, I just let them spew off. If my page was protected, the vandal's anger could build up and they could turn themselves into another Hitler. I know that's probably a stretch, but you never know.

My edit to Turok (2008 game)
Hey there, I would like to ask why my edit was changed. I changed Giganotosaurus to Unknown large theropod because there are no sources stating it is a Giganotosaurus. I think we should keep it as Unknown large theropod until we can find some sources stating it is a Giganotosaurus. 72.133.252.224 (talk) 18:27, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * If it says Gigantosaurus, keep it that way. It's probably correct. And please note: Provide diffs or I cannot investigate the case. ' Calvin 1998 (t-c) 18:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * So if I put in dog food...It would probably be correct? My point is it needs sources to prove it and there are no sources to provide it. 72.133.252.224 (talk) 18:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Usually you'd keep it unless it is either a.)blatant vandalism b.)contentious unsourced information on an article of a living person or c.)obviously incorrect. That information falls under none of these categories, therefore it's best to keep it. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 18:40, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It fall under c.) obviously incorect. Why? Because its unsourced. 72.133.252.224 (talk) 18:54, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Unsourced ≠ obviously incorrect. By obviously incorrect, I mean if someone put George W. Bush's gender as female. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 18:57, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright nm then, as it is. 72.133.252.224 (talk) 19:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Question about how you learned to edit
Hello, I recalled seeing one of your questions on the, and when I answer a user's question, I often check the user's page to get an idea of the user's editing experience on Wikipedia. In the real world, I often tell adults about the benefits of editing on wikis, but I find many of my fellow old farts are terrified to learn anything new after the age of 25 or so, and for lots of people that was so long ago that they probably cannot remember what learning feels like. Naturally I like to twit them by noting that lots of middle school students are able to figure out how to edit on Wikipedia, and some have even become administrators. I'm curious about how much of Wikipedia you were able to learn just by browsing around the site and reading the friendly manuals. Did you get help from humans in the real world, or did you learn Wikipedia with nothing but your Internet connection? --Teratornis (talk) 07:04, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I more or less learned all about Wikipedia by following all the links around, learning about policies when I saw a link to one, etc. I never received help from "humans in the real world". Calvin 1998 (t-c) 16:55, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That's very helpful to know. I also learned to use Wikipedia with no help from humans in the real world (while I have helped several other humans in the real world learn wiki editing), but I am not a good example to illustrate how easy Wikipedia is to get started with, because I've worked with computers for years, and I've used several other markup languages and so on. Someone who fears Wikipedia might think they have no chance without a lot of computer experience, and I can't use myself as a comforting counterexample. It's more convincing to Wikipedia doubters if I can point them to the impressive progress you have made, presumably without decades of computer experience coming in. You might be a genius, but I don't have to tell them that. I'll just go with: "Wikipedia is simple enough for a seventh-grader to figure out with no in-person help." --Teratornis (talk) 21:37, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Question
You answered my question on Ale jrb's talk page about what is a mainspace edit. Thanks. But do nominating articles for speedy and non-speedy deletion count towards that? Thanks. P. S. I'm also in seventh grade. I think there might have been a Wikiproject for that or something. We and some other kids should get that together again. If you could, reply on my talk page. Thanks. Me  what do u want?  <sub style="color:green;">Your Hancock Please   —Preceding comment was added at 23:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC) So that is a yes, right? And do you have any comments on the youth thing. Thanks. Me  what do u want?  <sub style="color:green;">Your Hancock Please  01:00, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That's a yes. And I'm not really sure about the youth thing, it doesn't really fit the WikiProject requirements. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 01:02, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

posting message
Greetings.

I frequently visit Wikipedia to read about a variety of things. When I hopped on tonight, I had a message from you about a change made to an edit I supposedly did on the 'Maine' page. I am confused. I have never made any changes to ANY pages on Wikipedia. I wouldn't have a clue how and don't feel I'm an authority to comment on anything anyway. As I noticed that my IP address was attached to it, I am concerned. Is is possible someone else could make edits on Wiki from my IP address? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.152.204.245 (talk) 01:13, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Just to say that I noticed your reversion on my talk page, and to say danke for it. Thanks! Sandy of the CSARs (talk) 02:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Unbelievable
Hello Calvin 1998 - I have just spent half an hour adding stuff to the page on San_Clemente_Abbey in the Abruzzo in order to flesh it out, add further information, correct a mistake and add a link to a whole lot of photos. And you wipe out all this work after one minute saying that it is not useful. Please explain exactly what is not useful and what your qualifications are for saying this because there is not much point in wasting time trying to help Wikipedia if this sort of nonsense is what happens. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.134.85.85 (talk) 06:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Changing the word "pulpit" to the word "ambo" appears like vandalism. The rollback tool used to remove vandalism reverts all edits made by the revertee. Therefore, all your work was reverted. Sorry 'bout it, I've un-reverted. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 07:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks - fyi an Ambo is used for readings whereas a pulpit is for for preachings (most churches had both) - a medieval distinction which I guess it would be unreasonable to expect 2008 rollback tools to know about! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.134.85.85 (talk) 07:08, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
