The diffrence

What is the diffrence between {{db-userreq}} and {{db-author}} I looked at CSD1 and CSD7. WikiMan53 t/s Review me! 11:57, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Userreq is for pages in the user's user space; author is for anything in general. Metros232 12:06, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Reverted attacks.

Hi, I do feel that that edit on user talk:maurath should be un-reverted. It was an integral part of our discussion, a just reply to the various things he had said to me, and i strongly disagree that it was enough to be considered an 'attack'. Quote: "cry me a river". Is this preschool? If it is to be removed, then I ask that all of our (maurath's included) discussion be removed from our talk pages and the talk page of trivium (band). Thank you. Isilioth 12:36, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

What did i say that was "mean"? Isilioth 12:42, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Deleted Pages

{{help me}} If you delete a user subpage as I did mine? May I request it back?

Yes, pages can be undeleted by request unless there is a good reason to keep deleted. Which page do you want undeleted? NoSeptember 23:48, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Autograph books

I haven't. I deleted one some 5 months ago, and stopped. I still think they're rather silly and useless, but I won't go around deleting them if I see them. --KR | T 16:31, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

re: Sorry

No Probs..I--Cometstyles 13:50, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry but I dont know much about sigs because I had the same problem before(Invalid Raw Signature:Check HTML Tags) for my old sig so I use to copy and paste it every time..(ø~Cometstyles~ø^{^(talk)})..P.S..I think NikoSilver might be able to fix your signature, why dont you ask him....----Cometstyles 14:08, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikiman53 t a Review me!

You generally need to close HTML tags, as I have done above, though at 352 characters it is too long (per WP:SIG). You can reduce the length a little by changing the colours, like:

Wikiman53 t a Review me!

This is still 346 characters. You should try and reduce the colour variations, or the links, further. Let me know if I can help further. -- zzuuzz^(talk) 14:29, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

still too long. You should reduce the length by half. -- zzuuzz^(talk) 15:28, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Bad Usernames

Is there a template to ask users to change their username without saying you are blocked because I am not an admin. Please respond on my talkpage. WikiMan53 talk / sign? 14:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

I think there's a few listed at WP:U. {{UsernameConcern}} is popular, and I quite like {{Username-Warn}}. more here. -- zzuuzz^(talk) 14:11, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

WP:UAA

Just so you know, we don't normally block usernames unless they are very blatant, unless they have contributions. You might want to check and see if the user has edited. If not then unless you suspect it is a blatant violation of our username policy, I would not bother to report. Cheers. (if you have questions please respond on my talk page) —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 20:09, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Userboxes

Can you make me a header? With my talk, user,Sandbox, amd autograph page links to it please? Wikiman53 t a 20:28, 5 May 2007 (UTC) PS: Respond on my talk. Wikiman53 t a

Um... I don't quite get what you are asking :) On a side note, could you modify your sig so it has a link to your talk page? Thanks :) (again I'd appreciate it if you replied back on my talk page). —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 20:55, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Blah now I see your talk page its the green t. —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 20:57, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

IRC

I saw you come in #wikipedia-bootcamp, did you need something? John Reaves (talk) 21:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I would encourage it actually, it's lot easier that way. Just come in a ask your question, remember to be patient, someone will see it eventually. John Reaves (talk) 22:46, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Comments

Please dont add comments such as this on blocked users talk pages or they might create sockpuppets to get back at you and might lead to trolling..Thanks..----Cometstyles 13:31, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Blocked

On April 30 I warned that further disruptions would find you blocked (see here). Despite that, what'd you do today? Taunted a blocked vandal. There was no point to this and other encourages further disruption from those accounts. For that, you are blocked for 31 hours. Metros232 13:41, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Please Unblock

Request reason:

I know I've caused disruptions. I taunted a vandal. I didn't mean to get anyone upset. People have done it before. I'm sorry

Decline reason:

You do not indicate that you won't disrupt us again. Please use your block period to read up on our policies. — Sandstein 14:15, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

WikiMan53 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I'll prove it. No more disruptions. I'll use help me for good reasons and encyclopedic reasons ONLY I'm going to say i'm sorry for my behavior to Cinnamon and I'll be perfectly good. I promise. All my edits lately have been good rvv vandalism, welcoming new users ect. Have god faith in me please

Decline reason:

The block is only 31 hours. You have a terrible history of getting on people's last nerve and pushing them the very edge of sanity. You're lucky you got off with only 31 hours, it should have been indefinite. — John Reaves (talk) 22:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Erm... you do realize that it's only a 31 hour block, right? -Amarkov moo! 15:53, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I just came accross this page. I've seen users "taunt" vandals before, but blocks with no previous bad behaviour are rarely nessecary. I've seen several examples of "taunting" vandals mildly, Here is just one example. Also, some users can't even stay away from wiki for a full 31 hours. Asking people for help doesn't sound like vandalism to me, and I think this user should be warned before a block. Taunting vandals is against this rule and this rule, just to let you know. Thanks. – User:AstroHurricane001 18:35, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

He WAS warned before he was blocked, 7 days ago. And please clean up your signature! Metros232 23:53, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Re:Archive Page

Can you make me a archive thingy page showing all my archives shown on my talk? Thanks. Questions contact me. WikiMan53 talk / sign? 22:26, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I think I know what you mean; I will create the page at User talk:WikiMan53/Archives, but you will have to add in any tools that you want to have. Questions? respond at my page. --tennis man ^{sign here!} 23:56, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Page created. The codes for specific dates and future (grey) colors is at my archives page, and from here on out you will have to make new archives and put them there at your leisure. also, you may want to put the link to them on your talk page. Cheers! --tennis man ^{sign here!} 00:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Pages

Is there a newly created pages log?

Yes, Special:NewPages. Anything else? *Cremepuff 222* 22:49, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Reverting

Please remember to actually revert vandalism instead of just warning the user who made the edit. At this page here you did not revert the user but you did warn him/her about the edits. Getting rid of the vandalism is more important than the warning sometimes, so be more careful. Metros232 12:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Signature

Hey WikiMan53. Here is the new signature.

Wikiman53 t a

As I'm sure you know go to "my preferences". Select raw signature and put the code in the Signature box. Then click save. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. By the way, I would shorten my signature if I were you. Make it so that there were not so many colors. Cheers. :) --Random ^{Say it here!} 21:08, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey WikiMan, thanks for the barnstar. There was really no need to give me it though. I just helped out a Wikipedian in need. Tell me your favorite colors & find a picture you like. Then I will make you Menu for you! :) --Random ^{Say it here!} 22:02, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Ordean

Why was the ordean picture I uploaded deleted. Here is the log Wikiman53 t a 13:08, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Because you didn't supply a fair-use rationale on your image's description, or it was clearly copied from another web page without permission, it was deleted. You might want to read up on Wikipedia's uploading images instruction page. Extranet ^talk 13:12, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Editor Review

Hi WikiMan53! I reviewed you at your editor review, but I suppose you have already read it; sorry if I couldn´t notify you before... If you have any doubts concerning my comments there, then feel free to ask. Have a very nice day, happy editing, and good luck... ♠Tom @s Bat 21:12, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Make him stop

{{helpme}} Stop this user! Ha been reported to aiv! No response! Stop him!

What do you want help with? ~ Magnus animuM ^{Brain Freeze!} 17:19, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not a sysop; did you think I was one? ~ Magnus animuM ^{Brain Freeze!} 17:22, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

STOP abusing the helpme template! You've been warned how many times now?? You reported him to AIV, there's nothing else you need to do. You don't need to go around begging users to block him. Metros232 17:35, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey Wikiman, when you've reported someone to AIV, just let it go. Admins will take care of it - it's one of the most watched pages around here. Using the helpme template when you don't really need help, technically, deprives another user of attention while your request is being handled. Please don't do it again, OK? :) (And hey, if you really need a vandal blocked quick, just drop me a line on my talkpage. If it's bad enough, I'll try to handle it). Cheers, – Riana_ऋ 18:29, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Personal attacks

{{tl|helpme}} Is there a personal attacks template?

For personal attack warnings you can use {{npa2}}, {{npa3}} and {{npa4}} --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 21:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

User:Gordo of the Press Club

I have blocked this user for a week, as his edits clearly deserve it. It would, however, be better if in future you posted this sort of request on WP:AIV.--Anthony.bradbury 21:04, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
