School
Dude, i've seen you with your gf around school. RC-0722 20:29, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, I saw you with some girl the other day. She had sort of blonde hair, kind of (but not quite) korean looking, very pretty. I just assumed she was your girlfriend. Um, like my main page says, I'm not very popular. And besides, I'm not really the kind of face you'd remember. RC-0722 05:32, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I think she's in my science class. RC-0722 18:36, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I think her name is allice. But I definitely saw you thursday. RC-0722 19:13, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I've been here about a month. RC-0722 01:30, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

beavercreek, OH. I really didn't care if we moved, cuz I wasn't very popular there either. RC-0722 15:56, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

yeah, i'm a sophomore. My name's peter, but most of my family calls me pete. What's your name (or is just tommy)? RC-0722 20:38, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

That girl, Allie, does she have a myspace and/or facebook? RC-0722 02:05, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Are you saved? RC-0722 (talk) 05:07, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Regarding removal of a comment on Talk:GameWinners.com
Please do not remove other people's comments. Some might consider it vandalism. --Mitaphane talk 19:18, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Ah, sorry, I didn't realize as I was making a comment, I also deleted some. Tommy 17:01, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Question
When reverting vandaliszed pages, is there some sort of special message I should put as a summary of the edit? I've seen some people do custom ones, but was wondering if they actually typed it all out, or if there was some sort of template. If there is, can you direct me to it? If not, can you explain how to do it, or is it simple wikicode? Thank you. Signed by Tommy  (Talk/Contribs) 15:30, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Some people just type "rv" or "rv vandalism". Some use WP:TWINKLE. Others use other tools. Xiner (talk, email) 15:55, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Edit Counts

 * Counting edits is done using tools; see WikiProject edit counters for a full list. The fastest counter is the server's internal counter (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/query.php?what=contribcounter&titles=User:Tommyboy1334 to count your edits); this isn't very detailed, but if you just want to know how many edits you have it's fastest and doesn't produce a lot of server load, unlike most other counters. Interiot's Tool1 (http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate?username=Tommyboy1334&site=en.wikipedia.org for you) is a popular counter, and doesn't need to be installed. I have also written an edit counter, which does require installation on your Wikipedia account; see User:ais523/editcount for instructions on how to install it. Hope that helps! --ais523 17:59, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Your Sig
Hi, can you please change your signature, Images are not allowed in signatures. May I suggest using a Unicode Character like this ☺ instead. --  Chris   G  08:30, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

In answer to your question "why you, a member, is telling me to change it" because it get very annoyed when Wikipedia goes down and it annoys me even more when I see people putting unnecessary strain on the severs. I am also disappointed to hear that there are admins doing this, I believe it is understandable for a non admin not to know about this but an admin should know this. --  Chris   G  03:19, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use disputed for Image:Hcseal2.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Hcseal2.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 02:29, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Your VandalProof Application
Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Qwazywabbit. 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: you don't have at least 250 mainspace edits. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank again for your interest in VandalProof.  Snowolf How can I help? 01:50, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Similar Username
I noticed that you have a username that is very similar to mine. In order to avoid any possible confusion, I have posted a link to your userpage on both my userpage and my usertalk page. You might want to post similar links on your userpage and usertalk page. Please note that this is merely a suggestion, and you are under no obligation to follow through on it. --TommyBoy (talk) 20:17, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Space reorganization
Hello WikiProject Space member! A discussion has been started regarding the future of WikiProject Space here; any comments you might have would be welcome! There are mainly two competing ideas:


 * 1) Centralize all the Space-related WikiProjects, such as Astronomy and Spaceflight, and merge them into WikiProject Space, or
 * 2) Separate the Astronomy and Spaceflight "sides" of WikiProject, and remove WikiProject Space.

If you can think of other options, that's great too. Your contribution to the discussion would be much appreciated. Thanks! :)
