Blanking your page
You're free to blank your talk page all you want. Just remember, the edit history is still there, and a number of editors are watching. Why not just stop vandalizing? You seem to want to edit legitimately. Why the vandalism?  freshacconci  speak to me  17:36, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, and you did receive a final warning, so the next time you blank a page other than this one, you will be reported.  freshacconci  speak to me  17:37, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. No lasting harm done. Cheers.  freshacconci  speak to me  17:59, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Your templates
I saw that you added the templates. Copying from other editor's user pages is totally fine (I did it myself), but I took the liberty of making one alteration: the second template was specifically directing any messages to my user talk page, so I'd actually be getting your messages. I made the change to the template so your new messages will go here instead. And thanks for the barnstar! It's much appreciated. Cheers.  freshacconci  speak to me  14:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Coding's not my strength either. Over the time I've even here, I've borrowed stuff from established editors and had to learn quickly that things sometimes went wrong when I cut and pasted something. It's all trial and error, but that's the only way I seem to learn. There are tutorials for most things on wikipedia, but I usually can't get my head around things that way.  freshacconci  speak to me  14:45, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Main page
Please see UP - you should not use your user page to store a copy of the main page. Gwernol 15:51, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

French communes
Please think twice before tagging another again -please see WikiProject French communes and monitor the edits of User:Ksnow and User:Markussep and you'll see that ALL communes will develop soon enough. Thankyou  ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦       $1,000,000? 15:37, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes I;m not saying there is anything wrong with placing prod tags on stubs -all I am saying is that if you plan on going through them all and tagging them that your time may be better spent elsewhere as every commune soo n enough will be expanded guaranteed as part of WP:French communes  ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦       $1,000,000? 16:39, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Itunes-screenshot-windows.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:Itunes-screenshot-windows.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) 12:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Help
Um, if you're blocked, how are you posting on my talk page? J.delanoy gabs adds 16:52, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: Christina Machamer
Please do not remove properly sourced material. Christian Machamer is a well, established individual who is featured in many news and magazine articles regarding her win. Winning a reality television show may not be notable in and of itself, but rather than disappearing from the face of the earth like the winner of a reality show like Survivor or The Amazing Race, Machamer is now a senior chef at a restaurant with considerable notariety. She therefor holds an objectively significant position in her field.  DRosenbach  ( Talk 17:53, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No harm done -- I was just hoping I wasn't up against one of these die-hard deletionists :)  DRosenbach  ( Talk 18:03, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You know her personally?  DRosenbach  ( Talk 18:07, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Your rollback request
Hello Mczack26, I have granted your account rollback in accordance with your request. Please remember that rollback is for reverting vandalism/spam, and that misuse of the tool, either by revert-warring with other users, or simply reverting edits you disagree with, can lead to it being removed. For practice, you may wish to see New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 18:14, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Please be carewful with this tool - this was a rather bad reversion - I appreciate you've done some good work but you need ot be extra careful with rollback. Pedro : Chat  18:19, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Replied on my talk, but obviously no major problem - just a prod in the right direction :) Pedro : Chat  18:40, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Refrence For above from Pedro's page
mczack26

Hi Pedro, I did see that edit. However, I read the discussion between Mczack26 and the user he mistakenly reverted, and Mczack26's acknowledged his mistake rather than got aggressive in any way. As such, I decided to overlook the error and grant rollback. Hope that explains things. Best wishes. Acalamari 18:28, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hands held high....

Yes it was a bad rollback but I feel, personally, that bad rollbacks, provided they don't happen to often, are OK and just prove we're human and that we make error's. I also feel it's important that people look at how the error was dealt with. After It was pointed out to me I apologised to the person who I had inconvienieced...

Edit Just saw Aclamari's comment

No problems fellow editors - just sayin' as the phrase goes. I have no reason to doubt anyone's judgement but I did feel it important to note that if you had rolled back that edit it could be seen as very negative. No worries. Pedro : Chat  18:39, 23 February 2009 (UTC) Don't worry Pedro, you are more than welcome to ask about the thoughts behind a decision of mine. If you ever think I'm doing something wrong, let me know. :) Best wishes. Acalamari 18:44, 23 February 2009 (UTC) Agreed that the edit was wrong and thanks for the "prod in the right direction" Mczack26 (talk) 18:46, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

RE:Hello....
Just so you know, you clicked on the wrong talk link. I'm not the one who vandalized the page, I'm the one who reverted the vandalism the time before you did.-- Dycedarg  &#x0436;  19:44, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the note
And I'm glad things are working out and you're determined to stay and contribute more to the project. Also, please feel free to delete my first messages to you, since they obviously no longer apply. Cheers!  freshacconci  talk talk  17:33, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
