Re: Opeth Myspace
MySpace is an official site from the band, most other sites are not official even if they claim to be. See WP:EL, although it doesn't say anything about band external links it might give an understanding. If you look at some featured articles the only sites they have are the official and the Myspace. EX: Godsmack, Megadeth, Slayer. Burningclean &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 21:45, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Dude, the Facebook page IS official, go to Opeth's site and you will find the link there!!!!! Maged M. Mahfouz (talk) 21:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I see what you are saying. If the site is run by the band or label it should probably be alright. You should probably archive this page, it is hard to load and it gets confused when you try to leave a message Burningclean  &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 21:54, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * If you want to add it you can. That was a funny message you left. Do you know who to archive properly? If not I will do it for you. Burningclean  &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 21:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, nevermind I see you have tons of archives, lol! Burningclean  &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 22:00, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Requests for adminship/Elonka 3
Thank you for your support in my RfA. It was definitely a dramatic debate, that landed on WP:100! I paid close attention to everything that was said, and, where possible, I will try to incorporate the (constructive) criticism towards being a better administrator. I'm taking things slowly for now, partially because it's the holiday season and there are plenty of off-wiki distractions. :) I'm also working my way through the New admin school and double-checking the relevant policies, and will gradually phase into the use of the new tools. My main goals are to help out with various backlogs, but I also fully intend to keep on writing articles, as there are several more that I definitely want to get to WP:FA status! Thanks again, and have a good New Year, --Elonka 22:00, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Happy new year!
And see you in 2008! :) Happy editing, -- Midorihana (talk) (contribs) 23:10, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

RE:Opeth Facebook
I reverted your revision because that site is indeed Opeth's official Facebook. WP:EL discourages MySpaces and other such sites, but if other featured article bands have Myspace sites on their article pages (see Slayer, Godsmack, Megadeth) what prohibits a Facebook page too? I admit, there's a gap in policy there, so I brought it up at Wikipedia talk:External links. Cheers, Master of Puppets Care to share?  22:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, and happy new year to you (just returned to the monitor after a toast with the folks), if it already is 2008 for you, that is. Ontopic: By all means. I removed it in good faith by my interpretation of WP:EL, and because it was added by a use that seemed unexperienced, and i've seen facebook links removed by established editors multiple times. Let's see what the discussion brings up. PS: This doesn't look too pretty! :-) ~ twsX · TC · Typo-Warning! ~ 23:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Still six and a half hours to New Years, though I'll be celebrating it with friends in about three. Anyway, on topic; I brought it up at the Help Desk, too, so we'll see what discussion it spawns.
 * And if you think that isn't pretty you should try viewing my userspace in Internet Explorer... my userpage looks like a hurricane and tornado mated on top of it while an earthquake played a sitar or something. :P Cheers, Master of Puppets Care to share?  23:29, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I am using Kubuntu Linux, so no IE for me. :-P You should try making your overkill in design in standard-valid code, so it is displayed properly on all browsers and platforms. =) ~ twsX · TC · Typo-Warning! ~ 23:31, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I put up a citation here, but it's from tower.com, a buying and selling website. It has useful information. Is it okay? Basketball110 22:38, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't know why it locked me out. I have no clue. Basketball110 22:52, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

How do you get the Wikiholic Test userbox? Basketball110 01:15, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! Basketball110 15:38, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I put up a reference twice in the same section (both supposed to be reference 3), but one is 3, and the other 4, for the same reference. Here, down in the trivia section. Basketball110 17:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

How do you lock a page for non-member editing? Basketball110 00:04, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, and I see you've got a new signature! There was a lock request for this, and I was just wondering. Basketball110 14:35, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

When it comes to do archive my talk page, I'd like to know how. Basketball110 20:07, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. Basketball110 23:08, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Something is wrong here. Basketball110 18:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. Basketball110 22:20, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

The colors on the signature I'm not really getting. How would you turn something orange? Basketball110 04:46, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. Basketball110 16:01, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Incorporating my contributions in my signature (on the 0, or 110) didn't work, so on my userpage, I would like a link to contribs. How could that be done? Basketball110 21:38, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, but I had already tried that and didn't like it on my signature. I meant I wanted a link to my contibutions on my user page. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Basketball110 01:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, and you are not at all stupid. Basketball110 01:52, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I would like a kind of a box to put the current signature (see here) in. Basketball110  02:09, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

It is nice. Did you make the userbox? Basketball110  02:24, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I like it. The text could be thicker. When I went to "edit this page," to change it, I saw all those characters, and decided not to mess with it, in fear of destroying it. By the way, what is the code for the bold blue I use for my signature? Basketball110  02:30, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

As you have probably figured out by now, I'm working on my user/talk page. On my userpage, I would like to add a "Comment of the Day," and "Picture of the Day." I would like boxes below the sig userbox. If it helps to describe it: two columns left for comment, right for picture. I am assuming that color can be changed. Basketball110  02:46, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

It's okay. Did you see the Adoption userbox? Sorry I couldn't put you any higher, but that is reserved for WikiProjects. Basketball110  02:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I am hono(u)red to be your adoptee. Basketball<font color="#FFA500">110  03:02, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

And the above is the non-British, Australian, and Canadian spelling in me. Basketball<font color="#FFA500">110  03:10, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

The template... is it for the userbox, or the big box? Basketball<font color="#FFA500">110  21:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

What I mean... you told me something about finding a template to align and also talked about making the userbox simple enough for me to edit. I wanted to know if the template was for the "Comment of the Day," and "Picture of the Day" I wanted to redo my userpage, or the userbox. Basketball<font color="#FFA500">110  00:02, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Nice gray! How would I delete an account? I made | one in Romanian, and I found it's too complicated in Romanian, and want to back out of my Romanian account. Basketball<font color="#FFA500">110  15:37, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

A Romanian admin fixed the problem. Nice gray, Basketball<font color="#FFA500">110  18:05, 18 January 2008 (UTC)!

About the IGN article...
Okay, then. First, the proof: It's a link to a video I uploaded to Google Video, and made it to prove the article I put there in the this page isn't plain humor or whatever: IGN. If you already knew the content in the video, then can you tell me where to put the information at? I'm dying to know...

Thank you for the welcome back message. I see by your edit history that you took vacation time yourself. I guess we just can't stay away. I only have time to pop in every now and then.

 * I am going to try and find some fun around the project and not just focus on vandal hunting. Speaking of which. Do you still monitor the vandal proof access? I downloaded the newest version but it said I wasn't authorized to use it. Do I have to start with a clean slate and get 250 edits and avoid edit wars before I can use it again? It was a good tool for fighting vandalism. Even though I want to focus elsewhere I'd still like to have my old crutches back. Who can I contact? Do I have to go and add my name to the hopefuls again? Cheers! Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 02:35, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I interpreted it as a "merge and redirect" proposal posted in the wrong place. After I closed the discussion, I posted a reference from a reliable source on the article's talk page for the editors there to make use of. If I can find one in 3 minutes, I'm sure they can find more. And there's probably a lot more in printed sources. BTW, I dipped in to Google again, just now, and found http://www.romantictimes.com/books_review.php?book=23668, so the character is notable. Cheers. The Transhumanist (talk) 05:28, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Deletion discussions last for five days. The five days was up. You agreed yourself that there was no consensus. That makes it a default keep right there. Also, you proposed it as a merge. When somebody pointed that out, you replied with "What I mean is that this character shouldn't have it's own article; any information that the main article doesn't have can be included there. A separate article isn't needed." That is exactly what a merge would accomplish, and is exactly what merging is for. You proposed a merge in a deletion forum. It should have been speedy kept. By the way, the character's more popular name is "Piratica", for which there is an abundance of information floating around. The Transhumanist (talk) 11:18, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

RE: ''Hi! Just dropping by to congratulate you on your work fighting vandals. However, I spotted your recent report at AIV (here) and removed it; I did so partly because the user's last warnings were last year, and they seem to have stopped after your warning. I'm thinking that the IP address was dynamic or shared, meaning that it was a different user than previously. For IPs, try to give the IP a full run of warnings if their last warnings were a while ago; as mentioned above, they can switch hands quite often. Keep up the good work!

 * Ah. I see what happened. The page revision history shows that the Vandal Proof program goofed, warning User:81.171.128.242 about an edit by User:69.132.73.88, thereby making it appear that 81.171.128.242 had vandalized that page again after the level 4 warning when 81.171.128.242 had actually stopped. VP is a powerful tool, but I have to watch it carefully because it just does that once in a while. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Vibroblade.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Vibroblade.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:20, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

 * I meant to put user talk instead of user. Is it the same for that? Earthbendingmaster (talk) 03:34, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I might need help archiving my talk page when the time comes. Do you think you could help me with that?  Earthbendingmaster (talk) 03:42, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. Night. Earthbendingmaster (talk) 03:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Wild woompacha
Thanks for putting the CSD tag on Wild woompacha. I was going to do that, but I didn't feel confident enough in G1 to click the radio in Twinkle. Did you notice that the user has been registered for months but only edited their user page (which says "I am God.") and that one? Or are there deleted contribs I can't see? Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 05:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, for some reason I thought you were an admin. Must be the "Call me MoP" that threw me off. :D Happy editing! Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 05:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Whoa, fancy that! I mistake you for an admin, and then The Placebo Effect offers to nominate you for adminship? Weird... Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 05:34, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

RFA NOM
<div class="boilerplate metadata" id="rfa" style="margin: 0 5%; padding: 0 7px 7px 7px; background: #FFFAEF; border: 1px solid #999999; text-align: left; font-size:95%;"> The Placebo Effect would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact The Placebo Effect to accept or decline the nomination. A page will be or has been created for your nomination at Requests for adminship/ . If you accept the nomination, you must formally state and sign your acceptance and answer the questions on that page. Once you have answered the questions, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so.


 * I was thinking about nominating you too, but The Placebo Effect got to it first. Co-nom, maybe? Midorihana ~いいです ね？ 05:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

My request for adminship was successful at 64/1/2! Many thanks for your participation and I will endeavor to meet your expectations. Cheers, <font face="Verdana"> Sephiroth BCR ( Converse ) 08:57, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Surprised
I was surprised, but I was actually granted use of the Rollback feature. Of course, the choice to give it to you was obvious. I bet it did not have to even be thought about. Earthbendingmaster (talk) 21:13, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * And I also have a question. I tried to move Latin to Latin language and it said it could not be done. Would you know why this is? Earthbendingmaster (talk) 00:09, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I looked at several other language articles and they all have language after them. But I am fine with it the way it is. Thank you. Were you nominated for Sysop? Earthbendingmaster (talk) 00:56, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Could you direct me to an Admin. that could give me a copy of a deleted page?  Earthbendingmaster (talk) 01:24, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Commondo System
I see that you have tagged my new article about the South African Commondo System. I don´t know much about it, but I ran into an article about it and as I have been hearing about it more and more in my search of information about South Africa I thought it should have it´s own article. The thing is I don´t know how to create a proper article with all the fancy things that a good article shows. Maybe this article should be in the category about crime in South Africa. But please help me with the article or teach me how to do it or something. Best wishes, your relative from Iceland.

Thank you
Thank you for getting me in touch with an Admin. Sorry to be such a bother. Earthbendingmaster (talk) 03:46, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I will probably be asking you for help again in the future. I hope you do not mind. Night. Earthbendingmaster (talk) 03:59, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Are there user boxes for time zones? Earthbendingmaster (talk) 18:47, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Earthbendingmaster (talk) 23:42, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I like the new background. Should I have kept your welcoming that was at the beginning of my talk page and archived it? Earthbendingmaster (talk) 04:01, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok.  Did you notice the message at the top of my talk page?  Earthbendingmaster (talk) 04:19, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I haven't been around since 2005, but I still fall for it every time. Earthbendingmaster (talk) 14:36, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I have another question. I hope you do not mind and thank you for the help you have already gave me. Lets say someone came along and blanked a page. Then two uers came and put a few sentences back. Then I come and want to restore the page to the way it was before it was blanked. What do I do? Thanks. Earthbendingmaster (talk) 18:58, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I can not believe I did not know that. I guess I would have eventually figured it out. Thank you. Earthbendingmaster (talk) 03:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Mistake?

Adoption 2
Hello? Are you still there? Basketball<font color="#FFA500">110  22:02, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I did mean those big quotation marks. I've decided not to do "Picture of the Day", but as you can see on my page, I put in "Comment of the Day." And the wait wasn't that long. I've been waiting for weeks for three people to answer the same question about the Beatles. Basketball<font color="#FFA500">110  22:10, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I like them (especially the orange). I'll put the quotation marks for the already present comment or quote. Basketball<font color="#FFA500">110  22:14, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, that's okay. Exterminated... do you mind if I use that bit in a "Comment or Quote of the Day"? Basketball<font color="#FFA500">110  22:19, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Help!!! "It's Bouquet" got smaller, but it's outside of the filefolder! Basketball<font color="#FFA500">110  03:22, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I deleted the filefolder (only from view: it's still on the page, but can only be seen when you edit), and kept the quote. Maybe I shouldn't have tried to tame it. Maybe I should have run away... Basketball<font color="#FFA500">110  03:33, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks! Basketball<font color="#FFA500">110  16:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * On my user page, I have links for "My Talk," and "My Contributions." I want to create a page for my past signatures, seeing as I wish to change it soon. How do I make a page like that, then add a link? Basketball<font color="#FFA500">110  03:10, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Block
Thanks for checking at [[User talk:66.215.5.163] I did not find a block either but when I looked at MediaWiki:Blockedtext and it says "If your block log (check via my contributions) does not list any current blocks, then your IP address or range has been "hard blocked" due to abuse either by the previous person who was allocated or sharing your IP address."  I had already clicked on the link from [[Special:Ipblocklist]] labled search rangeblocks but it did not seem to work. Am I missing something here? Jeepday (talk) 01:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Signature
This may sound like a stupid question to ask. How do you personalize your signature? Earthbendingmaster (talk) 02:12, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I was not really sure about having part of your username link to your user page and the other half link to your talk page and stuff like that. Thank you. Earthbendingmaster (talk) 03:23, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Could you help me make my first one? Earthbendingmaster (talk) 04:30, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Earth in blue and links to my user page. Bending in green and links to my talk page. Master in white and links to my contributions. If that is to much trouble or if you think something else would be better just tell me. Thank you very much. Earthbendingmaster (talk) 04:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I tried it and it said invalid raw signature; check HTML tags. Perhaps I did something wrong. Thank you. Earthbendingmaster (talk) 14:59, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for your help. Earth bending  master  15:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thats ok. I already fixed it anyway. Earth bending  master  23:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I do not know if I am supposed to know this but how does one remember the codes for borders; backgrounds; etc.? Earth bending  master  23:33, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I suppose I should have left out etc. I have picked up the basics pretty well. Thank you. Would you consider yourself a specialest (sorry for the misspelling) in a certain field of wikipedia? Earth bending  master  04:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * So your not really a specialist in a certain area. More like an all around user? I myself would like to be an image specialist. Earth bending  master  04:39, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * yes it would, and not just that but everything images. Earth bending  master  14:51, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Archive
Another question. Who archives article talk pages? Earth bending master  23:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. And could you go ahead and put your welcoming to me back up on my talk page or tell me how? (go to history and click on that revision, click edit this page and copy and paste from the current revision?) Is that correct? Earth bending  master  23:30, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Earth bending master  23:47, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I am planning to go ahead and archive my talk page in a little bit (minutes, hours, tomorrow. Not sure yet.) You said you would help me? Earth bending  master  23:54, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Hold on just a minute and let me make sure. Thank you. Earth bending master  00:00, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the wait. Yes. That is the one I would like to use. Earth bending  master  00:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Would calling my first archive 0 be acceptable? Earth bending master  00:12, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your help. First archive successful. Earth bending  master  00:20, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Do you mind if I be a copycat and copy your Icons page? Earth bending master  01:33, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Earth bending  master  01:36, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again. How much information do you thank would be Ok to put on your user page if you are under 18? Earth bending master  02:14, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Would you say place of birth, where you live, and age would be ok? Earth bending  master  02:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Question about the script CloseAFD
Unfortunately I don't maintain the script anymore - I'm way too busy. On the face of it I don't think it's a very easy problem to solve. Your suggestion on my talk page may be workable, but I can't implement it at the moment. Sorry! Johnleemk | Talk 01:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure. The code is GFDLed for a reason. :p Johnleemk | Talk 02:37, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the help :)
Quick question, you mentioned not signing edits... did you notice that I haven't been signing or was that just a friendly reminder? Like I said, still new here

Edit--- Forgot to sign this.. BWAHAHAAAA! I so much to learn/ remember. Be Bold comes with certain risks :)

Bot
There is a talk page that is automatically archived by a bot. It is all archived to Archive 1 but it is getting quite large. How do I change it to archive it to Archive 2? (Which does not exist yet). Earth bending master  17:49, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Never mind. I figured it out. Thanks anyway. Earth bending  master  21:53, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thats ok. Is it against policies for a user to create a template for their own use, such as one to put on the bottom of their user, talk, and subpages to provide a link to all their pages? Earth bending  master  23:15, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Another thing I didn't know. Thank you. Earth bending  master  23:22, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
