RfA Thanks

 * You're welcome, Ceranthor. (Belated) Congatulations! I can already tell you you've been doing a good job as an admin. Good luck in the future. :) ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 00:47, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Rfa for me within a year or so
Yo NSD. Could you do some work on SM UB-50 from the ships sunk section on uboat.net, as I'm tired. Also, how do you think I woudl fare in an RFA a year or so from now? (I'm askign you this based upon your messages to White Shadows). Buggie111 (talk) 02:57, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm tired right now, so it'll have to wait a little bit. You might stand a chance if you keep up the good work. You should also participate in admin areas, such as WP:AIV, WP:UAA, WP:RPP, !voting at WP:RFA, WP:ANI, WP:SPI to name a few. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 03:16, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

A Question
So, how do you think that I would do in an RfA? I'm not thinking about doing one any time soon, but I would like someone's opinion. Is the way I edit now good, what I would have to change, that kind of thing. Thanks, Hi878 (talk) 22:53, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Consider signing up for an editor review. I don't know you that well, but it seems like you're on the right track. Just go for some more experience (that just takes time) and don't do something stupid, and maybe in 6 months to a year, you'll make a good candidate :). Airplaneman   ✈  00:06, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I think that was worth three cents, more because of my stupidity than anything else. :) Totally forgot about Editor Reviews. That might just be something that I want to do. Oh, and I saw that you are using my Igloo UBX. Nice choice. :) The other one might have the real logo, but I still think mine is better. :) Hi878 (talk) 00:10, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks better, IMO :). Wikipedia is huge, so you can't remember everything... doesn't mean you're stupid :). Airplaneman   ✈  00:47, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, fine, I guess I'm not stupid... Hi878 (talk) 00:48, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd recommend lowerng your percentage of edits in the userspace to below 15% and get your article percentage over your user talk percentage. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 00:52, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I do agree with the Userpage part. However, with the talk page part, there is a somewhat-valid-ish reason for that. The only thing I've really been doing as of late is vandal-fighting, and for each revision in an article, the user gets a warning. So for mostly every article-edit I make, a talk page one goes with it. So I don't know how valid that is, but... Hi878 (talk) 01:05, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I think NSD is suggesting you become more involved in article work, such as GA and FA. This wider range of experience helps in RfA. Airplaneman   ✈  02:14, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't trust myself with article writing. :) I'd be awful, I'm going to stick with vandal-fighting-type things. Hi878 (talk) 02:26, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

DYK's could also help in an RFA. They're relatively simple to get. You have to create or expand articles though. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 03:20, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Diego Grez has been cautioned for libel against Cristian Berrios, who has no account with his name in wikipedia. It is a personal pursuit against a person who does not appear in the records of wikipedia.

Please stop
Stop interfering with HJMitchell's mentoring of DG. Your transfer of DG's vote to the AFD was inappropriate. I believe HJ has specifically told you not to do something like this, and I know I've cautioned against it. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:49, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * So youi basicaly mean stop helping out? HJ was not there at the time so NSd did him a favor. If your going to ABF of NSD's actions I'd suggest you leave his talk page and leave him alone. He did nothing wrong and was only trying to help. This is not a case of "vice-mentoring" but rather a person trying to do the right thing.--White Shadows you're breaking up 22:14, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Wrong. NSD did something that HJ has said he would not have done. Talking to HJ first is not some silly hoop that DG has to jump through; judgment is required, and it is HJ's judgment we are counting on, not NSD's.  So yes, I mean stop helping out as far as DG is concerned.  I believe I was quite clear on this before. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:20, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I have to concur with Floquenbeam on this one. NSD has been told before about the issue. @NSD - it'd be best to leave them alone and let HJ deal with it. Airplaneman   ✈  22:23, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Edit conflict x3 I understand your reasoning with this, but HJ hadn't specifically told me not to transfer !votes to AfDs at that time. HJ actually appreciates me helping him out, as you can see in this thread on User talk:HJ Mitchell. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 22:32, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe HJ should give me a list of things that I could do to help that's ok with HJ. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 22:43, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I had not seen his thanking you for transferring this vote; that's unfortunate. I've asked him to come here and clarify what you can and can't do.  The only thing that makes sense, IMHO, is that you do nothing regarding DG.  This is HJ's mentorship, and as I pretty clearly said a week or two ago, it's going to end up getting DG blocked if it isn't handled with care. I can't think of anything that is so pressing it can't wait until HJ is online.  --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:52, 3 May 2010 (UTC)


 * NSD, because of time zones and things, if I'm not available, I am happy for you to (and I appreciate you doing so) do things like correcting fair use rationales and transferring comments to AfDs on Diego's behalf, however only where something of Diego's is up for deletion. With me being in a different time zone, it's possible that something could be deleted before I could get to it, but where Diego has no involvement with the article, as in the AfD being discussed on his talk page or nothing is at risk of being deleted, leave it to me to decide if the edit should or should not be made. I appreciate your help, but I hope you understand that the main condition of Diego's unblock was that his decisions are run past me. If you're not clear on something, do nothing or post on my talk page or email me or both. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   23:07, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * There isn't anything on WP that can't wait 12 hours. or a couple of days, for that matter. There's an undelete button too. --Floquenbeam (talk) 00:51, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * True. HJ could undelete a speedy-deleted image since he now has a mop. I have read HJ's comment above. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 13:27, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

My editnotice
Hello NSD. Could you just look at User talk:The High Fin Sperm Whale/Editnotice and tell me what it says at the top? I don't think the is working. Does it say 'Hello NerdyScienceDude' at the top? Thanks. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 01:26, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It works when I press the actual "edit" button on your talk page, but not on the actual editnotice page itself. Airplaneman   ✈  01:28, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey sorry that I was not able to finish it :( I'm very buisy IRL and I will continue to be until this weekend. However, I WILL be able to assist you in getting it to GA status down the road :)--White Shadows you're breaking up 23:12, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It's ok. Buggie and I finished it and the DYK hook is in the queue by the way. A GA would be nice. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 23:16, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Great. Now I also get another 10 points in the Wikicup. You shold join next year as well :)--White Shadows you're breaking up 00:57, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll consider it. Good luck! ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 01:26, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I just read the WikiCup page, and you're currently number 1 in your group. If this article passes GA then that will get you 40 points. If I join, maybe I'll represent New Mexico or  Albuquerque. ~ Nerdy Science Dude   (✉ message • changes) 01:50, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm going to be overtaken in the next few weeks/days. I will not be back to regular editing for a few days and I never can seem to win my pool (I keep comming in second) I'll just be happy to advance to round 4. And there is a bug that has yet to be fixed through another bot update with the current scores. I really have 210, not 250 points. Once I get my last GA done in the next few days, I'll have 250 points, that DYK of ours makes it 260 and my GTC makes it 290 points. Then I'll be on my own, I'll have to get at least a good 400-600 points just to pass as a wildcard. As for next year, I'm glad that you're thinking about it :) I'm going to liekly represent Austria-Hungary.--White Shadows  <font style="color:#DC143C">you're breaking up 01:56, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Much less become a major writeing powerhouse and become a major competitor in round 3! I'm in the big leagues now.

Could you help me expanding this article like I did to 2010 Auto Club 500. I would like this to be done, but if you have other articles to edit; I will do it by myself. -- Nascar 1996  19:32, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Okay, maybe by the end of the year all 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Races will be at GA level. Thanks for helping. -- Nascar 1996  22:07, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow, 36+ GA's in a year. It's very likely since we've done a great job working on NASCAR articles. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 22:10, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, its very exiting, but my major doubts is 2010 Daytona 500 and NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race XXVI getting to GA level. -- Nascar 1996  22:13, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Do you believe that we should nominate all the complete NASCAR race exepth for the 2010 Daytona 500? -- Nascar 1996  03:10, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 2010 Daytona 500 still needs some work. The others would probably pass a GAN. I've nom'd all of the NASCAR races that have been raced that aren't already GA with the exception of 2010 Daytona 500, 2010 Subway Fresh Fit 600 (peer review request), and 2010 Crown Royal Presents the Heath Calhoun 400 (probably still under construction). This includes 2010 Auto Club 500, 2010 Samsung Mobile 500, and 2010 Aaron's 499 (also up for DYK). ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 15:02, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you mean that there are even more articles with DYK, or was it just for 2010 Aaron's 499? -- Nascar 1996  17:22, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

A user added some things that need to be done to the 2010 Subway Fresh Fit 600. I would like it if you would work on the grammer, you may be better that I am. Thanks. -- Nascar 1996  17:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 2010 Subway Fresh Fit 600 is now nominated for GA. -- Nascar 1996  19:38, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Good. Sorry I missed the peer review. To answer the question above, the DYK only applies to 2010 Aaron's 499, which is already in the queue. It should appear on the Main Page soon. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 20:18, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 2010 Shelby American is under the review for GA now. -- Nascar 1996  22:26, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 2010 Samsung Mobile 500 became a GA! -- Nascar 1996  19:37, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * That was quick. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 19:39, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ummm, the user who is doing 2010 Shelby American may be wrong. The others are making GA, which means this one should be too. There is only one detail that makes me a little mad; it is when people say that these NASCAR racing articles are too short and needs to be expanded. I don't believe the articles need expanded, and how long they are depends on if the race was boring or exciting like the differences between 2010 Aaron's 499 and 2010 Auto Club 500. I am for sure that 2010 Aaron's 499 will pass GA. Will you help me, by either adding the table for the recent race here or on the race aricle its self? -- Nascar 1996  19:46, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I finished the results section for the Crown Royal Presents the Heath Calhoun 400 in 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. -- Nascar 1996  22:37, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I can do the tables for both if you'd like. I was about to say I would do both tables. I'll do the one in the race article. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 22:41, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

I appriciate that you are going to do that. Afterwards, I will have to add a citiation, then the article will be complete. I cant wait until theres a off week to fix this article at my recreation page. Thanks again. -- Nascar 1996  22:52, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I would like to have a bot, but I dont know how to get one. Will you please help? -- Nascar 1996  23:51, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Addition to closed deletion debate
This change was added after the close of the debate. I am wondering if it should be reverted or the comment added to the article's or the user's talk page. I hesitated to do it myself. Andreas <font size="-2">(T) 12:12, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Premature AfD closure of 2010 Pennsylvania 500
You recently closed the deletion discussion on 2010 Pennsylvania 500, Articles for deletion/2010 Pennsylvania 500. I'm not going to reopen it because I know your work and that you're not irresponsible as a general rule about these things, but I do not believe that discussion was anywhere near SNOW territory. There were two comments, one of them I disputed, and at least one by a user obviously involved in the NASCAR projects. It's only been open for less than 3 days.

Your close on Pit Bull on the other hand is entirely appropriate. I'd just ask you to allow discussion to continue, and refrain from non admin closures unless it's obvious. Shadowjams (talk) 20:06, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry if you thought it didn't qualify a WP:SNOW, but I thought it did since there is a guideline that makes NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races notable enough for their own articles. I'll let discussion last longer next time. The Pit Bull one certainly was a legit closure. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 20:13, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the endorsement. However, Requests for adminship is a scary place.

Cacti
Cactuses is the plural of Cactus, not Cacti. It is commonly called cacti, but because it is of Greek origin, not Latin (which it is commonly mistaken as being from). Therefore, it is not Cacti (as it would be if of latin origin), but rather Cactuses. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.14.177.47 (talk) 04:10, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Vandal Space
If you find this encyclopedia or its sister projects useful, please consider making a donation. Donations are used primarily for purchasing server equipment. Also, you can help the project by not consuming extra space. Your vandalism space was filled with several huuuuuuge images which take forever to load, crash browsers, and put a great deal of strain on servers. What if every user did that? Btw, I am MfDing it as it seems quite useless.-- m o  ɳ  o  05:13, 22 May 2010 (UTC)


 * And the "extra space" consumed by 1 of the over 20 million total pages is extremely negligible. Deleted pages aren't really deleted, anyway, and consume space anyway (evidence: they may be restored). And just think: each edit you make causes the whole page to be saved again. See WP:PRUNE.

User:NerdyScienceDude/Vandalism space
Hey NSD. I've gone ahead and moved User:NerdyScienceDude/Vandalism space back to its original location after you moved it to User:NerdyScienceDude/Sandbox 2, due to the fact that pages should not be moved in the middle of a deletion discussion. If you need a second sandbox, you can always just create the new page; there is really no need to perform the move, as the two pages (vandalism and sandbox) are irrelevant to each other. It also generates confusion during the discussion. Thanks, ~<i style="color:#07517C;">Super</i> Hamster  Talk Contribs 01:33, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Andy & Kouros. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. The reverted edit can be found here. Thank you. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ • ✐) 23:44, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh crap, I reverted myself again. Hopefully igloo will soon mark all of my edits green. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ • ✐) 23:52, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Nice job! :) I haven't managed to do that yet. I've blacklisted several others, though, as you know. :) Hi878 (talk) 00:44, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Bot and comments
I placed a comment on a page with the word crap in it. Your bot seemed to revert the entire edit. Did you want this behaviour (to scan comments for black listed words)? It doesn't seem appropriate to me. See Symbian OS for instance. Bpringlemeir (talk) 00:49, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Err, that is Symbian platform. Bpringlemeir (talk) 01:01, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I was using WP:Igloo, which detects certain words and character strings. I thought a hidden comment saying "This is crap" was vandalism. I'm sorry if that edit was performed in good-faith. And no, I am human, not a bot. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ • ✐) 03:24, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Fat Man, you may be blocked from editing. The reverted edit can be found here. Thank you. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ • ✐) 19:35, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * You are such a disruptive editor! Stop this vandalism immediately! We will not tolerate you for much longer! Hi878 (talk) 19:48, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * You know, if you do this two more times, Igloo will report you to AIV. That will look pretty funny, you reporting yourself. :) Hi878 (talk) 19:51, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed. I rollback my mistake reverts in igloo, and it templates me. I'm hoping igloo will have an undo feature soon. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ • ✐) 20:09, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Your zealousness is probably due to the amount of disruptive edits. My frustration is from the same.  I see many disruptive edits and when I try to do something helpful (at least in my opinion), my edits are reverted.  I think we are on the same page. ;-) Bpringlemeir (talk) 13:14, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Dyadic transformation, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. The reverted edit can be found here.

Please stop your false vandalism warnings
Hello NerdyScienceDude,

This is the second time that you've given me a vandalism warning the instant I've saved an edit. You've subsequently removed both of them, but I'd like to know what's going on and to have you take steps to stop it. The fact that it happens instantly suggests to me that you've got it automated, and that something is wrong with your automated feature. Please let me know what you will do to correct it. Duoduoduo (talk) 17:50, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The first revert was accidental, then the automated program, which is in alpha testing, marked all of your edits as probable vandalism. I reverted one of those edits confusing "shift" for "shit". This is not my first time doing this. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ • ✐) 18:04, 28 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Please make sure the automated program no longer has me listed as probable vandalism, and let me know when you've done that. I notice a lot of people are complaining on your site about your vandalism warnings -- please learn completely how the process works before you continue using it! :)  Duoduoduo (talk) 18:16, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Your warnings caused this user to think he was getting blocked. I must echo his sentiments: please, either learn how to use Igloo properly or stop using it altogether. One false positive can be dismissed as an honest mistake, but several in two days smacks of carelessness. False positives can have consequences, as seen here, and you don't appear to be taking them all too seriously. Xenon54 (talk) 18:44, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * NSD, I have to second the above. This is serious, and the number of mistakes here is, to be perfectly blunt, unacceptable.  Any admin can prevent you from using the tool; and I will do so if this level of error rate continues. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 18:51, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

@Duoduoduo - I have no control over who is blacklisted. I'll contact User:Ale jrb and see what he can do. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ • ✐) 19:09, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

@Bradjamesbrown - I will be more careful with Igloo. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ • ✐) 19:09, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I would recommend not using it all, really, but if you're sure you can avoid problems like this then it's your choice.  — Soap  —  19:13, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I will continue using igloo carefully. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ • ✐) 19:38, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * One option is to simply slow down. Even carefully, I make an average of about 1 accident per 100 reverts; when I make a mistake, I minimize igloo and manually revert myself so I don't accidentally report myself to AIV. I then apologize (as you have done). That should help :). Airplaneman   ✈  19:46, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tip. Now I know how to undo myself without getting a template slapped on my talk page. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ • ✐) 19:50, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

I saw that ;)
Just a friendly trouting for the over-zealous vandalism warning you placed on my talk page. I notice you quickly realised your mistake and removed it though, so no harm done. <font face="Verdana"><font color="#900000">Giftiger <font color="#FF0000">Wunsch   [TALK]  18:11, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your help
Hi NerdyScienceDude. Thanks for your help with our anon IP craziness today. I'm sorry that your page had to be vandalised because of it. I wanted to let you know that the IP has now been blocked for seven days thanks to your report at AIV. It is a bit odd that an IP geolocating from Chicago is claiming to be editing from Germany. Oh well since "they won" at least we can get back to editing other articles :-) Also the welcome message that comes up when we edit your talk page is very cool. Thanks again and cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 21:58, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Everything is good now. I'm glad you liked my editnotice. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ • ✐) 22:10, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

(2 edit conflicts) Are you quite sure you wanted to do warn yourself as well as report yourself to AIV? Regards --Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 17:16, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It was all a mistake. I actually don't want to be blocked. The Thing reported White Shadows to AIV once. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ • ✐) 17:20, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * How the hell did you manage that? I thought scripts prevented you from reporting yourself to AIV? If you want to be blocked though, I can oblige! ;) HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   17:42, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the offer HJ, but I don't want to be blocked. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ • ✐) 18:07, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Let's stick to manual if the tools are yet again malfunctioning. From the looks of this talk page, this is certainly not the first time something has gone run. OK?  — fetch ·  comms   19:06, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I prefer WP:LUPIN as it goes slower and is not much more manual than igloo. <font face="Papyrus"> m  o  n  o   21:06, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
