Move of Pirate Party
I'm reverting your move of Pirate Party, as the US version calls itself The Pirate Party of the United States. You should however know that the article has already been deleted and will most likely be deleted again if recreated. If, however the party should gain notability, I'd prefer to see a small notice on top of the Pirate Party article instead. - O bli (Talk) ? 19:39, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Your VandalProof Application
Dear ST47,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. - Gl e n 03:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Your userpage sucks
Just a lot of packed ugly userboxes, omg.
 * yours sucks more :) ST47 14:50, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Userpage Vandalism
Ha, sorry for the confusion. I just edited my own page to see what my IP was. AWBricker 21:55, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * argh - sorry - see whatismyip.com (or something like that) next time :) ST47 21:56, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * haha, alright. Again, sorry for any confusion. AWBricker 21:58, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the revert on my userpage. DVD+ R/W 21:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Edit Summary
Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thanks, — FireFox  ( talk ) 15:32, 15 August 2006
 * hmm. most of what I do is reverts and warnings so I didn't think it was necessary but I will in future ST47 15:33, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd like to echo what FireFox said. It's actually really helpful (and generally good courtesy) if you provide a summary, even (or perhaps particularly) when reverting vandalism. Even a short summary like "rv vandalism" is adequate. -- Steel 22:56, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Vandalism
Hey man I have been getting numerous emails/warnings with regards to vandalism; I just want you to know that this is a SHARED IP address, so any vandalism that is being committed on this quaint little project of yours is not the work of me. My name is Derek Malife and I live in Canada. My email is dmalife_45@yahoo.com; feel to free to contact me, but please no more threats about being blocked. peace
 * gotcha I'll try to figure out what the wikigeeks do about that - sorry about the warns :) ST47 20:55, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

you issued me this warning
This is your last warning. Removing legitimate warnings from your talk page is considered to be disruption. You will be blocked from editing Wikipedia and your talk page will be protected from editing if you do it again.

I looked up disruption. I could find nothing about editing your own talk page being considered a disruption. How was I supposed to know you arent allowed to edit your own talk page? (on a shared ip no less).

Please explain this to me.


 * gee, it sure would help if I knew who you were!
 * removing warnings from your talk page is like throwing out a parking ticket - you do something bad and get warned/punished, you can't just ignore it. the IP in question had a history of vandalism so i just put a level4 there - now you know :) ST47 18:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes but once you resolve the parking ticket you throw it out.

I would like to know how editing my talk page constitutes a disruption.

Is there anything in writing that demonstrates this?


 * Removing warnings ST47 19:03, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't think this warning is fair at all. I am going to dispute it.

This page is a proposed Wikipedia policy, guideline, or process. The proposal may still be in development, under discussion, or in the process of gathering consensus for adoption. References or links to this page should not describe it as "policy".

DOESNT PROPOSED MEAN THAT IT HASNT BEEN PUT INTO EFFECT YET?

are you kidding me?

im reporting you for this abuse of power

furthermore the most recent warning had occured in may.

I think that qualifies as "reasonable amount of time"


 * kay. i looked at the talk page for the policy and changed the warning to a wr0. remember you can archive your page if you so desire ST47 19:09, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

A question about pop-ups
I was wondering if you could help me with pop ups ... I've followed the instructions but have been unable to get it to work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 24.97.210.40 19:25, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * sure! pretty much just go to User:24.97.210.40/monobook.js and type there, save page and see if it works - if it doesn't, clear your browser cache ST47 19:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Reverting
Hello ST47. Please do not use automated tools, such as popups, to revert good-faith edits like this one to Maurice Clarett. Such edits require an explanation, a descriptive edit summary if not a full talk or user talk post. Keep up the good work. ×Meegs 13:11, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


 * ok i will :)

discussion re: db-nonsense
Hi ST. I deleted your at the Fraenkel page. That template is not for deleting content, but for deleting the whole page, which I'm sure was not what you were aiming at. (I've blocked the IP obsessed with Fraenkel's groping for now.)


 * hey - actually, i did want to delete that talk page, as there was no other content on it? don't forget to WP:SYP :P ST47 13:59, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

note
Can you please stop deleting my edits on my userpage? Even if I'm not logged in at the time? It's getting really annoying. I make an edit, and it's deleted. Please prevent this from happening in the future, knowing my IP. DarknessLord 15:08, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Reversion with popups
You might want to check your reversion tool, as the edit summary says it reverted to my last revision of N (game) but you actually reverted to the version before that. I've fixed it all up. —Scott5114↗ 20:18, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank You For The Other Day
Thank you for the other day, I clicked on your userbox thing and added a few of my own to my name page, I hope you don't mind.

Also, I was curious, is there any government to this place? If there is, it needs some improvement and i'd like to help. Vice President In Charge Of Office Supplies 12:34, 19 August 2006 (UTC)


 * lol, that's okay, it's not like I made them. government, there's the WP:ArbCom that deals with conflicts between users, and there are sysops that can ban and delete and do cool stuff, and then theres Jimbo Wales who owns the wiki, but most anything is done by community consensus - see WP:RfA and WP:AfD to see what I mean and to help out, is there anything in particular you need a hirher-up to do? ST47 12:37, 19 August 2006 (UTC).

Your opinion
I saw you are on the anti-spam project. I wanted to ask you for a 2nd opinion, but after second thought I placed the request on the project talk page. Han-Kwang 00:26, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks so much!
I love the owl you put on my "My Talk" page, hee hee, it's so cool!--Owls are Cool 14:54, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my user page today. Yorkshire Phoenix (talk) 11:19, 21 August 2006 (UTC)


 * np :) ST47 11:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

comment on article page
it wasn't comment! isn't that obvious, that it was supposed to be part of the article

geez, these wikipedia "pros" never get, what's intended (it wasn't the first time). ok, you're right about one thing: i'm not very good at binding new things to existing articles, so do it better, instead of random deletion!


 * you posted:

The shade of blue should be pantone 285C.
 * which is a comment, and is not something that belongs in the article namespace. if you post it in the talk namespace, then someone who knows what that means can fix it.ST47 13:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

no it's just that most often it's said, that the shade of blue has to be "pantone 285 c". first estonian flag law stated, that the color of estonian flag is the blue of sky and blue of cornflower. AND that IS relevant information. why should it be on the talk page, i wasn't correcting anything, i just picked the wrong wording. and you got it all wrong. "first shoot then ask"?


 * if you add something like the first verson, then I'm going te revert it, because, the way you worded it sounded like you were saying the image was incorrect. If you wanted to add a section, then just do that, and see WP:SIG ST47 13:43, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm very sorry for artificially creating an edit war, but that's because you added the text with "requires", but i was right in middle of writing different text. by the way, during research for exact colors i discovered, that there's a mistake in the flag law, so could you please just not touch the darned thing, it's now the best way it can be and right now, i'm sending an inquiry to the states newspaper, whether they have wrong picture added to the law or they have misquoted the law.

Thanks!
Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my userpage, before I was even able to notice it. :) Carl.bunderson 21:20, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

 * oh my, what have I done this time? ST47 22:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)


 * sorry, but a total of 5 people reverted your edits...what gives you the idea that you're right and all of us are wrong, including Suspected sock puppets/Subhash bose? ST47 22:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I did. Crap. ST47 22:23, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
Thank you. Unfortunately I suspect it was done with intent (I could be mistaken) as the ip in question appears to have taken a dislike to my articles on the right in Canada. AnnieHall 23:07, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

wrong ip?
I never made any edits to Pluto or any other those other things listed on my IP page with the exception of the New Haven Nighthawks. The only edit I made today was asking a question on a discussion board about the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks. This IP address should not be used my multiple users so I do not know what is going on. 199.103.143.97 18:49, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * ok np, could be a dynamic ip, that automatically changes. Have you considered an account? ST47 19:17, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Most used words
I do think that the most used words in the English language or whatever other language are important or at least interesting!
 * yay, another anon that who whom doesn't read! ST47 16:57, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
Thanks for patroling recent changes. Actually, the user in question has invited edits. If you have time, please remove the warning from my talk page. 192.75.48.150 17:19, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

1 troy ounce = 31 grams?
"I don't believe this is correct.
 * I do. please WP:SIG ST47 22:21, 23 August 2006 (UTC)"


 * WTF are you talking about? I've never even heard of a "troy ounce". Kevin 21:49, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * so? now you have, and google agrees with me...from Ounce:

Main article: Troy weight

A troy ounce (abbreviation: t oz) is equal to 480 grains. There are 12 troy ounces in a troy pound. Consequently, the international troy ounce is equal to about 31.103 476 grams.

Today, the troy ounce is used only to express the mass of precious metals such as gold, platinum or silver.

For historical measurement of gold,

* a fine ounce is a troy ounce of 99.5% ("995") pure gold * a standard ounce is a troy ounce of 22 carat gold, 91.66% pure (11 "fine ounces" plus one ounce of alloy material).
 * from Troy Weight:

Troy weight is a system of units of mass customarily used for precious metals, black powder, and gemstones.
 * next time, google it or wiki it :) ST47 10:57, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Hate mail

More Hate mail which was placed in the header with no information as to what the poster wants or even who he is
It is an absolutely simple fact that the moronic self appointed wikipolice don't want to allow on the page. Since better wording from me and others who I don't even know has been wiped off without a trace the wording this time may have been a little heated. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 218.43.35.97 (talk • contribs) 16:26, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * you mean when you vandalized an admin's userpage? I think we moronic self-appointed wikipolice are allowed to revert stuff like that...I think that's why we are the moronic self-appointed wikipolice, don't you? ST47 16:33, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Just for the record, I am not even an admin at Wikipedia (though I am at Uncyclopedia, which makes me think that this guy is from there and is just looking for a laugh.) ~ Rangeley ( talk ) 16:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * really? I thought he said you hid history, and I assumed you were oversight...whatever. ST47 17:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Nah, he is making a rather entertaining claim that I am a "paid propagandist" who is "suppressing facts" and even went so far as to ask "Who the hell does s/he work for?" ~ Rangeley ( talk ) 19:19, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * hehe ST47 19:20, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I think this is the "Japanese Anti-Uncyclopedia Guy" as I call him. Certainly the style looks familiar. He posts from a small range of Japanese IP's, and continues to insert POV material and innacurate information into the Uncyclopedia article, as well as other random acts of vandalism. Admins Mindspillage and Sannse, are aware of his work and have both warned him already, but the more of us that keep an eye on him, the greater chance he'll get fed up and go away. -- Codeine 09:07, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Therapy
I don't think that's a disambig page. It's not a list of different things that all use the term "therapy". It's a list of different types of therapy, with a definition of therapy at the top. Looking at the history, the disambig tag was just put in on June 30, so it's recent. I would just remove the tag and call it done. Simon12 01:52, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

You wrote me saying i changed/edited a page????
i NEVER do this...i use Wikipedia about once a week but i NEVER edit it and today when i opened Wikipedia i had about 6-7 warnings for editing...i dont understand what happened because i dont even have any interest in the pages they mentioned as the ones i supposedly edited...i dont even know my name at Wikipedia or i i have one but if you know it you can contact me there or my email is FIGHTINGILLINUT@aol...i would appreciate some advice as to why this happened

Hi ST47! Your recent update to User:ST47/monobook.js may have accidentally put it into the speedy deletion category. If this was not your intent, you need to alter the page to remove the template.

 * Ok, it appears as though it was a repeated error due to an extraneous space in the command. I have set a bot to repair any remaining errors and anticipate its completion within the next few minutes.

Your personal attacks
Your personal attacks in your edit summaries are inappropriate, and your talk page comment to Erwkern3 was hasty and rude, see No personal attacks.

Hi, I am still new around here (second day) and a lot of it still requires more understanding by myself how it all works.

I've recharged the text after altering it offline and with that your comment got erased. Which I only realised thereafter. Sorry.

Anyway, i'm working on it, but need time. Would be nice if you understood that as it is. And of course it would be welcome if you, or anyone into the subject, added to reading less like advertising.

Thanks for your input

Hello ST47,

My name is Henri, I'm finishing my PHD in fine arts at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. My thesis is on french artist Maryse Casol. As I was updating the info on wikipedia, i saw that you reversed the editing. I know that all sources are still not there but I'm working at it right now. Could you please give me a bit of time as I'm trying to provide information to help the entire artistic community.

Thanks!

Your revert of my revert
Do I think it should not have been reverted? Damn skippy! The comment I reverted out was idiotic, redundant nonsense. It wasn't even SIGNED!!! It's just some retard trying to act cool and it doesn't help the talk or the article. Worst of all, it undermines the other users' better written comments. It's insulting! 172.194.255.242 23:06, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

bot?
Hey, I know it says that your "bot" account is using AWB, but it's, like, flooding, like, my watch list. So I thought I'd whine about that. Maybe for when you do stuff like change redirect categories, you could get a bot flag, that would be nifty? Ok, that's all :) Mak (talk)  02:37, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi. Per Betacommand's final approval, I've granted your bot, STBot, a bot flag.  Redux 12:15, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I know, it's a little bit silly of me, and it was partly flooding my watchlist because I have the "watch all pages I edit or create" box checked, and didn't bother to uncheck it when creating redirects. Thanks for getting it fixed :) (the "likes" were supposed to convey that I knew I was being a little bit silly, but perhaps more direct communication would have been better :) Mak (talk)  16:19, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

How were they slanderous? It is well known that Giambi's father loves Mickey Mantle and as far as relevance is concerned, it's a trivia section. They don't need to be relevant, as long as it is a trivial piece of information.

Fast edits

Removal of African-American football players category (Willie Fleming & Johnny Bright)
I read the wiki category guidelines and don't understand why you removed the above-referenced categories from the Johnny Bright and Willie Fleming pages.

Using AWB for cleanup
Hi. Thanks for doing copy edit work. One remark however. Per WP:AWB, one should


 * Avoid making insignificant minor edits such as only adding or removing some white space, moving a stub tag, converting some HTML to Unicode, removing underscores from links (unless they are bad links), or something equally trivial. This is because it wastes resources and clogs up watch lists.

I would suggest using AWB for spell-checking, category renaming, or other important matters. Wonder what you think. You can reply here. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:11, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Oleg! Are you referring to my bot itself, or the trial I did on ST47 yesterday? in future it will all be done with the bot account(I'm preparing a 50 edit trial now) and I'll be working on specific things such as the messed up links. I think it will only be a week of the heavy edits, and then only fixing errors that are inserted, however I don't want it to be an annoyance. As for the resources, it will ofcourse run overnight, not during peak times - thats 2AM-10AM GMT that I will run it. I can probably set it to end earlier if needed? ST47 Talk 18:39, 10 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I am referring to your bot, indeed. Note that overnight where you are maybe midday somewhere else. :) My point is that you should not use the bot for trivial edits. For example, is a link messed up just because it has underscores in it, or because it is like this: functions ? Such edits should not be done with AWB, per the policy linked above. Such edits don't add value, and they obscure the watchlists and recent changes, making it harder for people to track contributions. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:08, 11 October 2006 (UTC)


 * why don't you take a look at its request for approval, as that explains the bot ST47 Talk 10:15, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Not really needed edits
Hi, I noticed your bot did the following edit:. We shouldn't really be doing such minor edits on articles as they do not actually change anything in the page. All this does is put unnecessary strain on the servers (as an edit takes a significantly larger amount of resources than parsing that sort of link does). I don't know if you can alter this with AWB, but I think you should look into ways of avoiding doing this. Thanks, Localzuk(talk) 13:04, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * actually, that is the point of the bot's second task, which passed a WP:BRFA with the approval of betacommand and RM. The edits are run in non-peak hours to decrease server load, and the bot has a botflag to avaid RC and watchlist spam. after the first 2 weeks, the amount of edits will drop, because I am currently 'repairing' the wiki, and in 2 weeks after this is done I will be 'maintaining' the wiki, only repaiting issues that are added. The edits I made last night, of which there were 2,160, recovered a total of 25,920 B, and the rest of the edis will probably be about 402,636 B more. It should also simplify the edit view, and limit users from seeing that error and perpetuating it, as the user above was led to believe. ST47 Talk 13:18, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * But instead of the 25,920 B of data being used for storage, won't a significantly higher amount be used in storage of the diff information about the edit made? I still disagree with this form of edit as it is a waste of resources and should only really be done when another editor is making a significant edit and fixes the issue at the same time. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Localzuk (talk • contribs) 09:31, October 14, 2006 (UTC)
 * From the BRFA
 * While I agree that this bot is useful and good as per Betacommand, I also partially agree with Oleg Alexandrov to some extent, but not for the same reason. There are a number of potential changes: plurality, underscores, double-piped links, self referential links, and interwiki links. I'll focus on the first 4. Plurality and double-piped links only serve to hurt the readability of the code behind the page, so there is a compelling reason to make these changes even though they are trivial and may enter people's watchlists. As mentioned above, bot edits to watchlists can be disabled, so this isn't a big deal. With self-referential links, this isn't so much of a big deal. They shouldn't happen, true, but they don't really overly hurt readability. Nevertheless, I don't mind if they occur. My problem is with changes that do nothing but change underscores. An underscore in a link is not a big deal and there is no compelling reason to make an edit to a page solely to change underscores to spaces. This adds database load without a clear benefit. So here is what I suggest. Do the plurality, double-piped link, and self-referential link fixes for any articles needing it, but only correct underscores if you are making one of the other 3 fixes. So basically only correct underscores if you were going to edit the page anyway. This will cut down on needless edit load to the databases. I don't mind if you process underscores during time periods where Wikipedia is experiencing low load. So make sure if you do just underscores that you do so at major off-peak times.
 * I am obeying the restrictions set by RM, only editing off-peak, and using minor edits under a botflag. All edits are being done off-peak due to the underscore restriction, and at an acceptable speed(5-7 epm) ST47 Talk 13:48, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Hinduism in Azerbaijan
I noticed your concerns on the bad-faith AfD (nominated by the Muslim guild). The Hinduism article is used for the philosophy and practices of Hinduism, not for things belonging to articles in the Category:Hinduism by country. Hinduism in Azerbaijan has a long history, mainly in Silk Road trade. Also the Atashgah is a major defining part of the practice of Hinduism. The article is sourced as well. If you have any other concerns, please ask me on my talk page.Bakaman Bakatalk 16:18, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Edit summary & bot edits
Can you please shorten your bot's edit summary. If nothing else, you could remove the redundant link to the bot's talk page, since it RDRs here. Also I thought AWB was explicitly not for bots. It still says, "edits made using this software are the responsibility of the editor using it." So you shouldn't have to apologise for the possibility of mistakes in your edit summary, any more than you would in your own manual unassisted edits.

Its edits in fact are nothing like what is described at Bots/Requests for approval/STBot which only mentions category work. --pfctdayelise (translate?) 01:19, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

spaces or lack thereof
I was going over my watchlist this evening and noticed that one user had added spaces and your bot had subsequently removed them.

Exactly how many pages are you doing this to? ... aa:talk 05:03, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
