User talk:TwistOfCain

"Siggy"
Hi - thanks for the vandalism fighting you've been doing, it's very necessary work, and the project is better off for it. I did have one request, though: regarding your signature, the bottom one of the two on your talk page is pretty annoying, since it disrupts the line spacing when you use it. You might want to consider using the top one instead. Best, Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:02, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello! Thanks for your input! As I am new to editing on Wikipedia, I appreciate any help I can get. I have edited the signature to hopefully fix the issue it was causing. If it hasen't fixed it, please let me know, and I'll have no problem switching to the other signature. Thanks! -- TwistOfCain ( Talk ) 17:57, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, nevermind, I think I see what you're talking about. I hope this fixes it. -- TwistOfCain  (talk) 18:30, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that looks much better to me. Thanks a lot for taking care of that. Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:16, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer permission
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   19:36, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Rollback
Hello, per your request, I've granted you Rollback rights! Just remember:
 * Rollback gives you access to certain scripts, including Huggle and Igloo, some of which can be very powerful, so exercise caution
 * Rollback is only for blatant vandalism
 * Having Rollback rights does not give you any special status or authority
 * Misuse of Rollback can lead to its removal by any administrator
 * Please read Help:Reverting and Rollback feature to get to know the workings of the feature
 * You can test Rollback at New admin school/Rollback
 * You may wish to display the User wikipedia/rollback userbox and/or the Rollback top icon on your user page
 * If you have any questions, please do let me know.

Recent revert of IP
Just to let you know I'm about to re-apply this edit, as I've located a ref. Obviously the IP should have ref'd the change. Just a heads up to avoid misunderstandings. RashersTierney (talk) 22:17, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Understood. I know there is an adult film actress who goes by the same name, that's why I assumed it to be vandalism. Thanks for clarifying it! -- TwistOfCain  (talk) 23:00, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I do have some reservations about the reliability of the reference. The ISBN is apparently unrecognised; 'Google books' is usually reliable, but I'm not sure in this case. The subject matter is outside my 'usual domain'. If you think its a hoax, just revert my addition, I won't contest. Best. RashersTierney (talk) 23:10, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll do some research and see what I can find. -- TwistOfCain  (talk) 23:19, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Dude, don't warn me about deleting shit from my own user talk page. Thanks. Keeper |  76  23:55, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * nevermind, you caught your mistake pretty quick. Carry on.   Keeper  |  76  23:56, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yea, I apologize for that, totally didn't mean to do it. -- TwistOfCain  (talk) 23:58, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * No worries, gave me a good chuckle.  Keeper  |  76  00:00, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Blue Peter
What was wrong with my recent Blue Peter edits that caused you to remove them??? I was adding correct and informative information that helps explain where Blue Peter sits in the history of UK TV (both good and bad) in an unbiased way. Links to other Wikipedia pages were given and it wasn't unconstructive or vandalism on my part. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.241.2 (talk) 17:55, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * At first look, it seemed like vandalism. I took a second look and see what you're trying to do, and have reverted your edits back. -- TwistOfCain  (talk) 18:41, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Revert error
FYI. Thanks. --CutOffTies (talk) 22:51, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

edit warring
Dylan Flaherty reported me for edit warring on Gospel of John. Would you mind going over there and putting a word inhere)?RomanHistorian (talk) 00:47, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

False accusations.
You left some comments on User_talk:24.180.173.157, accusing this user of being a vandal. While they, along with User:RomanHistorian, appear to be guilty of WP:3RR violation, there is nothing about the edit history that suggests vandalism. Rather, this is a content dispute, albeit a heated and poorly-handled one.

It is perfectly ok to ask the IP to stop edit-warring, but calling them a vandal is not acceptable. If I see you continue this behavior, I will not hesitate to report you for incivility and bullying. I hope you take this suggestion to heart so that we can move past this and focus on making Wikipedia better. Dylan Flaherty (talk) 00:49, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Go ahead and report me if you think that's the course of action you need to take. However, I will continue as I always have to warn those that I see as vandals. -- TwistOfCain  (talk) 01:03, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * As you wish. I won't stalk you, but if I see you make this mistake again, I'll report you. Dylan Flaherty (talk) 01:37, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Here's some suggested reading. Dylan Flaherty (talk) 02:10, 18 November 2010 (UTC)


 * My reasons for reverting the edits are simple. I reverted because the ip address in question removed a sigificant portion of the text in the artical, therefore I don't believe your "suggested reading" applies in this situation. Next time you have an issue with an edit I've made, perhaps the best course of action is to ask me why I've made it, instead of threating to report me. That way, I can understand your veiws without you coming off as a pompous ass. -- TwistOfCain  (talk) 18:27, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I think I can somehow live with a person I've never met having a low opinion of me. However, you've kind of missed the point. The issue isn't simply that you reverted, but that you invoked the idea that the IP was a vandal and could be reverted at will. Dylan Flaherty (talk) 00:48, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

District 1, ho Chi Minh city
Hey! I see that you just helped me fix my sentences from the District 1, Ho Chi Minh city page. I'm new here and I'm trying very hard to add more information into the page. It'll be great if you would review my work and see if there's anything I can change more.

thank you very much!

Claudemir de Souza
Hi there, you keep on reverting (correctlt in my opinion) the adition of POV and OR at the Claudemir de Souza article; however, you then revert yourself almost immediately! What's going on? Thanks, GiantSnowman 19:11, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Issues with Huggle I would think, feel free to correct the mistake I made. And thanks for bringing it to my attention! -- TwistOfCain  (talk) 19:32, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Haha no problem, have done! Regards, GiantSnowman 19:36, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

WPLR Article
What the heck do you _want_ besides playlists? It is a _fact_ that they almost never play women artists, a fact that may be of interest to readers of the article. It is a sub-set of the comment in the original article that they have a three-hundred song playlist. I can provide playlists over several days. I've been listening to this station since 1974 and I have factual information about it and posted it. Are these articles only supposed to _promote_ the subject radio station? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.69.189.42 (talk) 00:41, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Okay, two articles I need to you read. First, read this, and this. I hope those help you see where I am coming from in regaurds to your edit. -- TwistOfCain  (talk) 00:56, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Not sure why the name of the city is being switched to the Albanian version.
I can tell you way, because the people who live there want to see it called by the name that they use. It is a long standing issue for the Albanians in Kosovo. I wrote about it on my talk page. It is the biggest complaint of all the kosovars I meet about the wikipedia. In the german wikipedia, they use the albanian names mostly. James Michael DuPont (talk) 06:10, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * While that may be, it seems like the general consensus on the talk page was to keep the name that is currently in place. -- TwistOfCain  (talk) 07:29, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion to pull this project under WikiProject United States
It was recently suggested that WikiProject Idaho, to which you are a member, may be inactive and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. After reviewing the project it appears that there have not been any active discussion on the talk page in some time and the only content updates appear to be simple maintenance so being supported by a larger project might be beneficial. I have begun a discussion on the projects talk page to see how the members of the project feel about this suggestion. --Kumioko (talk) 20:18, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

MOTDs (This space for rent)
You may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs here. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using (This space for rent). Any help would be appreciated!  ·Add§hore·  T alk T o M e ! 14:09, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
