You sure South Park really has 1067 episodes? :P GlassCobra 17:06, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No I'm not, it's been one of the worse mornings I've ever seen for vandalism, I might shoot a blank here or there Mr. Cobra. Please correct it if you haven't already. :) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 17:08, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Just playin' around with you buddy. Don't worry, I've got your back. :) GlassCobra 17:10, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

206.126.220.36[edit]

Since your last warning at User talk:206.126.220.36, he or she has vandalized the Patrick Thompson article. I don't know what to do when there has been a 'last warning'? Xn4 18:44, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The user didn't vandalize after my final warning. The warning was for the edits to Texas, which came after the edit to Patrick Thompson, and they appear to have stopped. In the case of on-going vandalism you should report vandals to this page. Happy editing. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 20:45, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User 24.199.240.2[edit]

Can you please take a look at the links added by 24.199.240.2 [1]? I don't think they meet WP:EL but I'd like a second opinion before reverting them all. Thanks. --NeilN talkcontribs 19:34, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted and warned the user. It was indeed spam. Thanks for spotting it. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 19:36, 26 November 2007 (UTC)`[reply]

Your recent reverts[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to revert vandalism to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent reverts, such as the one you made to Keyshawn Johnson, was one I tried to make as well. Please use the sandbox for any test reverts you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about patrolling this encyclopedia. Thank you. A link to the edit I tried to revert can be found here: link. If you believe you are just faster than I am, please contact me. Someguy1221 (talk) 20:07, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

block note[edit]

Hi, you left a blocked template at User talk:Mobsta132000 but I think you forgot to block the user. Or, perhaps you meant to leave a last warning. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 22:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it was the latter, I typed my warning out by hand and my finger hit the "5" instead of the "4" it was aiming for. Thanks for pointing that out, I've corrected it. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 22:18, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]


the believe in sexy ancient beasts![edit]

As recorded here. Also, Chicken armour, somehow. El_C 02:56, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

talk page[edit]

why did you revert the highly appropriate edit of User:Ahmansoor's talk page? the change was made in response to a challenge at MfD, Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Ahmansoor, and you may want to respond there. DGG (talk) 00:58, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I reverted anything to that user's talk page, I did however revert an anon's large removal of content to the user page. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 01:27, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think the revert should stand for the time being as per my comment on the MfD. Let the user log in if he wants to update his page, and he should leave the MfD tag intact. Regards.--12 Noon 03:00, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chicago[edit]

I am indeed! Do you need help on a Chicago-related matter? GlassCobra 17:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, no, I'm just wondering why you are such a traitor!!!!!!! :-o You prefer New York style pizza over our very own deep dish, and you are a Yankee fan to boot?!? Oy vey, where is your Chi-Town pride man? 17:54, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Haha! Well actually, I was born in New York City, then moved to Chicago when I was 12. The New Yorker in me never left, though. ;) I do like deep dish, but I'm lactose intolerant, so all that cheese makes me sick without fail, unfortunately. Are you from Chicago too? GlassCobra 18:03, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes sir, I'm guessing you've never read my user page lol. Oh btw, I left a little hidden message on your talk page. :) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 18:32, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, I've never read it, I apologize. And I saw your hidden message. :) I wasn't offended or anything, though, don't worry! GlassCobra 18:46, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am loved[edit]

Thank you very much for notifying me about that! Have you seen what was once posted under Article title Bobo192 in the past? That was just... the kind of thing that makes you consider drastic action... for that matter, you've had one deleted about yourself TWICE. I am not worthy! Bobo. 19:06, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On User talk:Bobo192, KnowledgeOfSelf said:
Incidentally Jeffrey O. Gustafson has 20 deleted edits. Beats the hell out of my two.


That's nothing. Jimbo Wales h... already has an article. Blast! Bobo. 19:23, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]


170.185.214.19[edit]

I don't know if this it the proper way to do this. But, just so you know IP Address 170.185.214.19 messed with John Madden(American Football)'s page today. I saw that you warned that address for something else, I thought I would let you know. Thanks. Sorry if this is the wrong way to do this. I didn't think it would help to warn an anonymous user from an IP address. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.197.127.141 (talk) 19:34, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your message, I'll warn the user further. In the future you can report on-going vandals to WP:AIAV but only after they have vandalized past a "last warning". See this page for a list of warnings and when to use them. It is 100% appropriate for you to warn vandals regardless of you editing anonymously. BTW, have you considered signing up?

Image:Human penis both flaccid and erect.jpg[edit]

This image should probably be added to that page that prevents images from appearing on all but designated pages.--Miss Pussy Galore (talk) 20:11, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I remember reading about the ability to do that. I can't remember for the life of me where, probably from the signpost. If you could point me along in that direction I'll read it again. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 20:21, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you delete the electoral history stuff from the article? --Orange Mike | Talk 20:11, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Abuse report[edit]

I'm thinking of filing an abuse report against that IP user who vandalized the main page and your page with penis pics the other day because he like a dedicated vandal (using misleading edit summaries and everything) but I don't know if this would work since he edited from a dynamic IP. Do you think this is a good idea?--Miss Pussy Galore (talk) 15:13, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It couldn't hurt so it may be worth a try, but most likely nothing would come from it. But you just never know. Sounds spiffy to me, so go for it. :) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 15:16, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I added it here: Wikipedia:Abuse reports/88.196.29.95. I added all the IP's I could find but if I missed any could you add them for me. Btw, this is totally unrelated, but do you know were I can find instructions on how to customize my signature? Thanks.--Miss Pussy Galore (talk) 15:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Bah[edit]

Actually, we're both stealing them from ClueBot. But neither of us as much as DerHexer who, I think, is a bot himself – Gurch 15:14, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah well it won't be hard to steal from ClueBot at the moment. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 15:19, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. That explains why there is so much vandalism. I was wondering – Gurch 15:20, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nice to see you both present now. There was too much vandalism before, I wasn't able to handle that all. --Oxymoron83 15:27, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ahh yes well—two days ago I was the only admin on RC patrol for about 5 hours, I ended up doing 1800+ edits in those 5 hours. New personal best for myself, but I'd have taken a few more admins that would have reduced that load to about 1000. I swear that was the worse morning I've ever seen for vandalism.

Heh thanks for the message, but I already blocked it. [4] I saw it while on IRC, and dropped the ban hammer faster than you could say "Bob's your uncle Bob's your aunt." Thanks again for the message, I appreciate it. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 15:28, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So IRC is useful for something after all! :-) Just kidding, I never use it, but no problems if you do. Fram (talk) 15:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

History of logic programming[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article History of logic programming, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of History of logic programming. Charles Matthews (talk) 16:42, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you telling me? I've made one edit to the article and that was to undo a redirect that was placed there without comment by an other user. I have no thoughts or opinion on the article. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 18:20, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Charles had already notified the intital editor of the page and you made an edit to the page within 50 edits (49th I believe) of its creation, I'm guessing Charles was, as usual, just making sure the bases were covered.--Alf melmac 18:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou...[edit]

Once again for reverting the vandalism on my userpage. It is much appreciated. :-) Lradrama

It was my pleasure I assure you. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:26, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you blocked this one about a week ago, following a vandalism spree; they're saying the account was compromised, and requesting unblocking. Story seems to check out, at least at first glance. Thoughts/opinion? – Luna Santin (talk) 20:54, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well it's not unheard of, I recently unblocked an account with a similar story [5]. I don't mind if you unblock, but I'll keep an eye on his contribs and watch for more vandalism. Thanks for the message Mr. Santin. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 21:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Sacrament of the Last Supper[edit]

I know it looked every bit like vandalism, but the section that was deleted actually didn't have anything to do with the subject if you read it.

Keep up the good work though. =). vlad§inger tlk 00:04, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for correcting me, I will shoot a blank from time to time. It's always nice to know other editors are there to correct the situation. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:10, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, there[edit]

Seeing as you reverted IP edits to Silver State Helicopters (and left a level 4 warning on the IP's talk), I thought you might want to know that the IP address is continuing to remove mass amounts of content from the page. Whether this was done in good or bad faith I can't really tell (read: I am too lazy to read it over and decide :p). Would you mind taking a quick break from stealing people's reverts to take a look at that :) Thanks, — NovaDog(contribs) 00:48, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've been watching it too. I can't decide what is up with it - so I thought I'd let an other editor check further into it. I can't tell one way or the other. I initially reverted due to the fact that the anon wasn't using edit summaries. Tough one that is. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:51, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
To complicate things, the article needs cleanup - lol. At any rate, he is now simply using the same (or similar) edit summaries over and over again - almost as if he just wants to try a clever way to remove stuff from the page. But that would be bad faith on my side. (And political incorrectness.) — NovaDog(contribs) 00:54, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Gj on the RC patrol, btw. — NovaDog(contribs) 00:54, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Things get murky in that regard. My initial instinct was to revert because the content appears to be referenced, and the anon was simply "undoing" other editors edits. As the anon hasn't appeared to offer proof of his claims of copyrighted material and "irrelevant" text, it really is a difficult matter to judge. The edit summaries help but they prove nothing. Besides 90% of all articles on Wikipedia need a clean-up. :P KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:59, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good job![edit]

I know you don't need much encouragement, as you've been doing this for way longer than me, but... well, I just felt like popping in to tell you that you're doing a fine job reverting vandalism on this inspiring project. I see your name pop up on my watchlist and recent changes feed all the time, so keep it up! Have a great Wikiday, Master of Puppets Care to share? 01:14, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thank you, I don't necessarily need encouragement, but it never hurts, and is always welcome. I do try my best. Thanks once again I really appreciate it. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 01:29, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, I'll do whatever it takes to brighten someone's day! :D Cheers, Master of Puppets Care to share? 01:39, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Huh?[edit]

Could you dbl check your revert and perhaps remove the little goof from my talk page :D . I didn't know deleting copyvio was vandalism??? Geez... I stuck a polite edit summary in there in everything. :D . "Libs" 156.34.142.110 (talk) 16:38, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you kind Sir!... we all make mistakes... I made one once... back in 2005 :D . 156.34.142.110 (talk) 16:39, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I deserved that one. But still, you're a cheeky fellow don't you think? :P KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 16:41, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I find volumes of copyvio every now and then which requires a mass delete... I am usually on the alert for the inevitable rv from Cluebot because it trips the article size difference button when you have to rm huge chunks. When I saw it was you I got a great laugh out of it. You were faster on the draw then the cluebot... that ought to be worth a plate a sweets of some kind from Alf... if you ask me. :D. 156.34.142.110 (talk) 16:55, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well I did get him a box of sweets for Christmas, but I thought they might go off, so I ate them. Jolly good too they were.--Alf melmac 17:26, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting stats. What I really get out of it is that DerHexer uses some sort of "Clockwork Orange" type of mechanism to keep his eyes from shutting... and may be overdosing a little too much on truck driver pills. :D . 156.34.142.110 (talk) 17:28, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please note: DerHexer IS a bot. He denies it, but I don't believe it!!! KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 20:33, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Can you eye/ear in on this conversation on Sir Alf's page. It is hard for him to maintain his attempts to mediate the partisan parties when he isn't here to defend his defence. I think his brick wall approach is the right path since no one seems to want to give in. And Mr K's 2nd infobox addition was a POV add-in since it's one of the articles he "politely" violates WP:OWN on... we all have those :D Cheers! 156.34.230.166 (talk) 22:19, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi--I've noticed your work on WP, so I know you know your way around and I respect your opinion, and I'm having a little issue I'd like to ask about. I'm currently in a conflict with Indiecat (talk · contribs) over the article Last Exit (film) (Edit history) and the dab page Last Exit (Edit history). I made some major edits to the film article--formatting it closer to WP:MOS and removing POV and advert-like copy--and I'm trying to make the film's entry on the dab page conform to MOS:DAB. But Indiecat has her own agenda: She's the executive producer of the film in question (see: Image:LastExit_Nigel.jpg and my Talk page), so her edits are all COI. I know how to handle blatant vandalism, and I know I can revert vandalism all day long without breaking any rules, but I'm not sure how to handle this situation. I already have three reverts on Last Exit, and two on Last Exit (film). I'd appreciate any advice on how to proceed. --ShelfSkewed Talk 17:24, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Another editor/admin has advised me and intervened on the dab page issue, so it's only the film article I'm concerned about at the moment. Regards --ShelfSkewed Talk 17:40, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm, edit warring is bad so the first thing you should do is stop reverting each other. Take the issues to the talk page, and discuss the problems there. There does indeed seem to be a conflict of interest there with Indiecat. This comes to mind in that regard. If you can't work the issues out after a while on the article's talk page, then you should take the issue through the dispute resolution process. If you like, you can ask Indiecat the go through a mediation process which I will create and mediate, with the use of one of my sub-pages. That will only work if you both agree to it. There is an official mediation committee that you can go through too, but that takes time, and again you would both have to agree to it. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 20:33, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism on Bonnie and Clyde article[edit]

Greetings! I am not on wikipedia much - thus no account - but don't like vandals. Can you do something to end the constant vandalism on the Bonnie and Clyde page? it appears to be the same people, over and over. Thanks for your efforts! 167.102.231.211 (talk) 18:09, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I can add the Bonnie and Clyde article to my watchlist to keep an extra eye on it. There isn't enough on-going vandalism to justify blocking the users who are vandalizing, or protecting the article. Thanks for your message. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 20:33, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Knowledge, I might need some advice. What do you do when you indefinitely block a user and then that user emails you, claiming their brother compromised the account and is really sorry about it? Spellcast (talk) 21:41, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are multiple concerns you should contemplate when dealing with a request like that. The main thing I look at is past contributions. Is there a a good amount of constructive—or at least good faith attempts to improve the encyclopedia? Or is it all just a mixture of trolling, vandalism, and bad faith edits? An other thing is to read "tone" of the user, do you get the impression that they are being sincere? KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 21:45, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it was helpful. Eventhough his first edit was replacing Sicko with "MICHAEL MOORE IS FAT!@#$%^&", there were some constructive edits. I'll be keeping an eye on his edits though. Spellcast (talk) 23:13, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm glad to hear it, and that's a great idea too, I meant to mention it, keep an eye on future contribs. You may notice a few typos in my comment—I was fighting a ton of vandals, and was trying to sneak a few words in to that reply in between reverts. :) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 23:15, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's multi-tasking at its finest ;) Keep up the good work! Spellcast (talk) 23:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Warning?[edit]

You gave a VERY mild warning to User:Will daniel after he had been issued repeated warnings, including a level 4 "Last warning." He should be blocked, not warned, especially after blanking with the message, "fuck you i'll change it if i want." Mr Which??? 14:35, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Too right you are, I use an autowarn script, and that was the culprit. I've corrected the situation and handed out an indef block. Thank you for noticing. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 14:44, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your quick action. Mr Which??? 15:16, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

These stink of WP:POINT to me. You are right to be concerned about them. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:05, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I thought as much as well. I've made nearly 10,000 edits this month and have shot a few blanks with my reverts. I wasn't too keen to get trigger happy over something that wasn't obvious vandalism. I appreciate your looking into the matter. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 15:09, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I can't tell if this from some actual discussion, or if the user's just pissed off. Either, as a new account, you guys are correct in thinking that this is quite POINTy. GlassCobra 15:10, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting to see that I'm not the only one to spot this strange behaviour! This doesn't appear to be a single account, but a sock drawer - see Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Errorminor Mayalld 15:34, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I gave one of the accounts a final warning. They decided to continue, so they have all been blocked, for abusive sockpuppetry, and for disrupting Wikipedia. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 15:40, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Here's the list I've found so far: Special:Contributions/Tiredthink, Special:Contributions/Errorminor, Special:Contributions/Proofroads, Special:Contributions/Groupshear, Special:Contributions/Offerdream, I think these are all User:Alertother. Pagrashtak 15:45, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Reverted and blocked. Well spotted. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 15:49, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As an anarchist, I love little demonstrations like this of cooperation in action. Well done, all of us! --Orange Mike | Talk 16:06, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Just thought I'd inform you of Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Errorminor (2nd) in case you're interested. Pagrashtak 19:02, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Toolspin[edit]

Isn't that guy a sockpuppet? I'm pretty sure there was another vandal that created lots of socks to replace pages with Bible verses. GlassCobra 15:16, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ahaha! Whoops, I accidentally put "Toolbag." Now THAT's a fun slip. GlassCobra 15:17, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
lol. :He probably is, but I can't say for sure, sockpuppets are not my specialty. I can sniff em out alright, I'm just not very apt at tagging and identifying them. An other one just attacked my page too. Highcases (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). I hate sockpuppets—I really do. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 15:22, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I saw, sorry about that. :/ Did you autoblock Toolspin's IP when you blocked him? GlassCobra 15:26, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah - he must be using proxies - or he forced an IP switch. Did I mention I hate sockpuppets? :P KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 15:28, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Here ya go. Revert, block, add sock tag, add to list. I added all those from this recent spree to the list. ~*Waves*~ ArielGold 16:04, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ahhh ha, thank you—you are an angel. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 16:07, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eyes[edit]

I'm reviewing it now - sorry for the delay. Pedro :  Chat  16:00, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly a sock. Will see what input I can bring to the discussion. Pedro :  Chat  16:02, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Pedro, it's being discussed up above just click here No worry about the delay, I understand 100%. :) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 16:04, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. Blocked before I could hit rollback :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 17:00, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

heh, thank you. I try. :) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 17:59, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to add a message warning about vandalism when i saw am message at the top of the page saying that this user wasn't registered. Also there is no message saying that it is a user page. Is this allowed? Eddie6705 17:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, see here. I think he may have tried to rename himself. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 17:54, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yippie![edit]

Whoa, that script you showed me is AMAZING! You rule. I plan to make you bitterly regret it! It's ON now! >:) But seriously, thanks so much. delldot talk 18:08, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome—but DerHexer is the author of the script and deserves all the credit. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 21:50, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dawoodi Bohra[edit]

Hey KnowledgeOfSelf! Thanks for helping fend off the censors at Dawoodi Bohra. I tried to get semi-protection for the page yesterday, but the request was denied and recent events were labeled as an "edit war" (which I think is ridiculous). I'm going to take a crack at re-writing the controversial sections so they have a more NPOV. Maybe that will stop the deletions and prosylatisms, but I'm doubtful. Thanks again, AlphaEta 18:30, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I saw you've been getting hit with some vandals today, good work helping clean up Wikipedia! Wildthing61476 22:24, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, I thank you - but its been all month :p KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 22:33, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

Thanks for that bit of reversion there. Marlith T/C 01:42, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are quite welcome. Happy editing. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 01:44, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Coolness[edit]

Hey Gurch, I like the new look. And 85,000 edits. Whoooo. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:40, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you familiar with Facebook? Comparing it with my real profile I think I've done a pretty good job, though whether it's allowed or not we shall have to wait and see – Gurch (talk) 02:47, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Only that it gets vandalized every so often. I can't imagine why it wouldn't be allowed... I think it's brilliant either way. I'm very tempted to give you the "Userpage barnstar" but that'd break my somewhat silly personal rule of not handing out multiple barnstars to the same user within one week. (It feels like smothering if you ask me) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 03:01, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, there's probably some copyright issues with duplicating another website's appearence right down to the last pixel. :) Though I did construct it myself, using my own profile as a guide, and I've added plenty of original content. Perhps I'll modify it a bit when I have time – Gurch (talk) 03:05, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Prods[edit]

Note that anyone is allowed to remove a prod for any reason; if they're removed, the next step is not to restore them but to send the articles to WP:AFD. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 12:38, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note: What? Where? When? Thanks. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 13:44, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
P.P.S. Note: I can't find where I removed a prod message anywhere. Are you sure you left that note at the right talk page? KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 13:50, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
P.P.P.S Oh wait I think I may have found them - are you talking about my reverts here, there, over here, over there, and finally here? Ummm those reverts were due to 2 reason. They were done to disrupt Wikipedia, and they were being done from multiple accounts in an abusive manner. All blockable offensives, and last I checked, we generally revert banned users. Thanks.

I have cookies for you, come and find them! --Ali K 14:05, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I hope they aren't on the Skypey cause Skype has been acting up on me. Locks my computer up completely every single time I open the damn thing. :( KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 14:10, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nope on ircy will do ^^ Freshly baked. Besides, not up to talking, well not audibly ^^--Ali K 14:12, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heads-up[edit]

I protected your userpage for 5 days. Feel free to remove the page protection at any time. Best, Nishkid64 (talk) 22:12, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes sir, I saw, that's fine with me, I was getting hit pretty hard the last 2 weeks. Thank you. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 22:13, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
