Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! I'm surprised you slipped so many contributions in without a single message on your talk page. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 08:15, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Anti-Vandal Tools
Heh thanks for the complement. Yep there certainly are easier ways. Research into some anti vandal tools at this page or take a look at my monobook.js and monobook.css. Click on the edit button and copy and paste the coding in both your monobooks (just change the url from User:Persian Poet Gal/monobook.js to User:Snicker/monobook.js and do the same for your .css). If you have Internet Explorer refresh your browser cache by hitting Crtl+F5 on both monobooks, if you have another browser type it will usually tell you how to refresh your cache on your monobook pages. After that you will have a bunch of anti vandal tools! When you see vandalism and access a diff page, all you need to do is click the red rollback (vandal) button and it will revert the vandalism and open up their user talk page (make sure you request your popup blocker to allow popups while using www.wikipedia.org). Once on their talk page you can press the warning tabs at the top (t for test 1, t2 for test 2, etc.) and it will include the page they vandalized on, click Save page and you're done. If you have anymore questions about how to use them just ask me :).¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 22:58, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

More anti-vandal stuff
Copied direct from the Vandalism page.

Note: Do not use these templates in content disputes; instead, write a clear message explaining your disagreement.

There are several templates used to warn vandals. They are listed at right in order of severity, but need not be used in succession. Though some people vandalizing are incorrigible returning vandals and may be blocked quickly, it is common for jokesters or experimenters to make non-encyclopedic edits; these people are usually stopped by a simple warning and often become productive contributors. If you are not sure that an edit is vandalism, always start with test.

The ~ in the templates above causes the time and your signature to be added to the warning. The "subst" causes the template text to be pasted into the talk page as if you had typed it out, instead of leaving visible when editing the page, because it is a comment in a talk page. You may also write your own message to the user. If the vandal continues, list them at Administrator intervention against vandalism. The blocking admin may leave ~ to notify that they have been blocked.

Nemo stuff
Tracking through some Pixar reverts today and ended up on the Marlin discussion page (which had been oddly blanked). I rv'ed it back to your last comment, which had to do with a merge into the main Nemo article. You might want to go back and verify that your various merges are still set as redirects (if that's what you intended). Just pointing this out to you as it appeared you did a lot of work in that arena. SpikeJones 03:40, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Spike, thanks for the headsup. Marlin was the one page I wasn't actively watching (fixed that).  I dropped the other editor a note as well, so she will hopefully understand about the merge. I'm doing all I can to make that a good article ;).

Thanks again! -- Snicker undefined°€ 05:43, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Worst signature in Wikipedia
You asked for an update on this on your talk page if anyone found anything worse than the one in the thread 'Nice Signatures'. I've dug a link to a pretty awful one in my talk archives up and placed it in that thread, and I'm notifying you per your request. (I've only placed a link to it there, because it contained fair-use images.) --ais523 18:43, 26 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, it is long, but I've still got to go with Rockaboom's. His is eye-burningly painful, whereas David's (from your talk page) is just a bunch of userboxes.  Thanks for the heads-up, though, David's is still ouchy on the Wiki-servers.  -- Snicker undefined°€ 18:50, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
