Hey, I see you're looking for an adopter. I'd be glad to if you would like. RedThunder 00:05, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Sure! I would love that. Jock Boy 00:07, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Would you please adopt me? I would really like to learn more about the site. Thank you! Jock Boy 18:08, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes; just let me know where you'd like to start, and I'll point you in the right direction. {{Nihiltres|talk|log}} 15:08, 30 September 2008 (UTC) (cross-posting thread)

RFA Thanks

Jock Boy, I'd like to thank you for voting in my RFA. Thanks also for expressing your trust in me, and I hope that I live up to your expectations. Don't forget, if you have any questions (or bits of advice), please leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again, SpencerT♦C 02:52, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi, thanx for your note. As far as I can tell from Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Athletes, anybody who played for a fully professional team is automatically notable. Even if he played in two games a million years ago. Is that right? So even tho this guy played for a short time a long time ago I don't think an AfD would pass. Cheers, IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 21:09, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

All right then. I removed the {{notability}} tag on the page and notified the user that I was wrong. Jock Boy 22:03, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Twinkle

I copied the huggle template into my monobook.js page, but now that I have it there, I don't know how to use it! Could you please help me out? Thanks! Jock Boy 22:23, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

You actually have to download the program to use it. Here's them link. Also, purge your cache after crating your huggle.css page. See Wikipedia:Huggle/Configuration for any other information. RedThunder 22:55, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
Sorry! I meant twinkle! Could you tell me how to do that? Jock Boy 18:34, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Okay. First off, I need to know what web browser you are using. I'll give you your specific instructions after that, because that makes a difference in what to do. RedThunder 21:51, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Okay. I use Internet Explorer 7. Pretty simple security. Jock Boy 01:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
You may need to change your browser and use something like Firefox. I tried twinkle with IE 7 and it did not work, so I downloaded Firefox and it worked on that. RedThunder 11:38, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Okay. I have Firefox, I have the Twinkle settings in my monobook.js page, which you can look at. Now what? Jock Boy 22:50, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Lvl 2 warning

Not that im the one who done it, but does the IP really need to warnings for the same diff? 203.122.239.204 (talk) 23:05, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry! I thought I made the revision and therefore warned you. I'll take away the warning. Jock Boy 23:07, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
(From obove) Thats okey, I put a notice on ANI requesting my schools IP to be blocked, its ip recently changed for some reason....   «l| Ψrometheăn ™|l»  (talk) 23:09, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Whait, was that you who sent me the original message? Jock Boy 23:10, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Yes, but it wasnt me who did the diff you can be assured of that, I just wanted you to know where i was editing from and thus my interest ;).   «l| Ψrometheăn ™|l»  (talk) 23:12, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk page violation

Hi Jock Boy, I deleted the comment on Christine Maggiore bc the talk page was used like a WP:SOAPBOX for AIDS denialism, that is not what the talk page is for. There's still a record of what was said in the history. May be I am mis-understanding the guide lines? Thx for helping, RetroS1mone talk 00:25, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Could you please explain which of these comments violates WP:SOAPBOX? I will revert my edit if you appear to have a good reason. Jock Boy (t-c) 00:35, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Thank you, the comments are to say anti-HIV meds are toxic and destroy the immune system and cause early death. IP commentor says Christine Maggiore is alive 22 years after diagnosis of HIV, bc she does not take medications, and other people are dead bc they took medications. Commentor predicts Christine Maggiore and aids denialism will get proven right and doctors proven wrong. It doesn't have any thing doing with the article, we do not know Christine Maggiore's health records we do not know in reliable sources she does not taken medication. The stuff about toxic and non-tested medicines destroying immune system is SO wrong, all of the medical sources contradict it. The first sentence is may be the only relavent one to the article, but it is mis-understanding something, the daughter stuff has so much space bc it is the only thing Maggiore is notable on except her organization. My opinion, some person came on this talk page and wanted to make a point and talk about their medical-incorrect ideas. Thx, RetroS1mone talk 00:44, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 Done Okay, it's hard to comprehend but I'll revert it. Jock Boy (t-c) 00:45, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Please be careful with your reverts. I made a good edit changing Helicocranchia pfefferi to a redirect. Although I forgot to capitalize the second word in the target, I went to change it immediately. You'd reverted me already. Hackfish (talk) 00:27, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I've been trying to edit so fast that I've made some minor mistakes in editing. I'll fix it. Jock Boy (t-c) 00:29, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Now that I look again, another user reverted you once more. I realize a made a mistake, but please also be careful, as you will, right or wrong, get reverted, if you fail to capitalize letters since Wikipedia is case sensitive. Jock Boy (t-c) 00:32, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Look, you keep making the same mistake, and if you do that, you will get reverted. You must capitalize the word Redirect. My edit was fine as it originally appears like vandalism. I have, however, removed one of the previous warnings because it was good-faithed. Please read WP:3RR. Jock Boy (t-c) 00:38, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Your request for rollback

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing!

Main Page redesign

The Main Page Redesign proposal is currently conducting a straw poll to select five new designs, before an RFC in which one will be proposed to replace the Main Page. The poll closes on October 31st. Your input would be hugely appreciated! Many thanks, PretzelsTalk! 10:31, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

What happened?

I'm just curious to see what edit User:PerkinsClass made to Jock Boy because I warned him. Do you remember? Thanks! Jock Boy (t-c) 02:31, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't recall exactly but I think the user blanked the page. You might ask an admin who can see the deleted history like User:J.delanoy who speedy deleted the page (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Jock_Boy) since it was "blanked or requested by creator". Was the user the same one who created it? Cheers! DoubleBlue (Talk) 02:37, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
P.S.It was speedy deleted immediately after or before my revert so I didn't see the result. DoubleBlue (Talk) 02:38, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Okay, thanks. I'm just curious to see "what nice things" were said about me in the article. Jock Boy (t-c) 02:40, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Ah, it was an attack page, was it. I was wondering about the "coincidental" name. I should have looked more closely at the history but just noticed the blanking first and was watching to see how it looked after reverting but it turned up deleted. Regards, DoubleBlue (Talk) 02:45, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Yeah. Message sent to J.delanoy. Jock Boy (t-c) 02:46, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Ping

Sorry, I see you removed the csd tag on my subpage User:Jock Boy/Favorites/Jock Boy Page. It was created by a vandal in the namespace after I warned him, and I originally thought it was an attack page, so I asked J.delanoy who deleted it to provide a copy of what it looked like, just out of curiosity. I read and noticed that it wasn't very mean, but I still archived it in my /Favorites section. I forgot to remove the CSD tag, and didn't realize that it would ping the category of csds. Jock Boy (t-c) 00:41, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Figured it was something like that. Now it makes sense. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 00:43, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
