Accidentally editing welcome template from your Talk page

You ought to use {{subst:welcomeg}} to avoid that problem.—Largo Plazo (talk) 19:40, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Adoption

Hi there. I saw that you're looking for adoption. I'm available to adopt you, if you're interested. What are you looking to learn from the adoption process? [ roux ] [x] 00:53, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Let me choose, if you were to give me the list.--Mr. SvMvP (talk) 17:41, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't follow. What I meant was: right now you're a fairly new user. At the end of the adoption process you will be less new. Is there anything specific you want to learn between now and then? [ roux ] [x] 17:45, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I am interested. --Mr. SvMvP (talk) 18:04, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Your 'you have new messages' box

Hi there. It's true that generally speaking you can put whatever you like in your userspace. Almost. There are some things you aren't allowed to put there, and that includes messages that look like system messages. That is why Gb removed the box from your userpage, and it's why I'm going to ask you to remove it. If you need any help with this, please let me know, or read this page, which explains what you can and can't put on your user and talk pages. Also, since userpages are part of the wiki project, other people can edit them. It's generally polite not to, but when something is in violation of policy it is perfectly okay. It's more polite to leave a message on the talk page and ask the user to make the change, of course! [ roux ] [x] 17:24, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, you ask first. But thanks for doing so anyway.--Mr. SvMvP (talk) 17:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

No, it's generally okay for policy violations to be removed on sight. Asking first is a courtesy. One we should all do, obviously, but sometimes stuff just needs to be removed immediately, especially if it's an attack or violation of our Biography of Living Persons policy. Have you thought about my adoption offer? [ roux ] [x] 17:42, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Heh, my answer to that is to continually revert back until someone asks politely if I can remove it. Thank you.--Mr. SvMvP (talk) 17:48, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, when someone removes something like that from your userspace, the implied meaning is "Oh hey, I know you know this and it's just an oversight on your part that you forgot to remove it, so I'll just do it for you." That's all. Replacing something in your userspace that you know shouldn't be there is not acting in good faith. It takes a while to get used to all these things around here, but that's basically how it works. [ roux ] [x] 17:57, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Tagged for Advertising

The page for Jacob's Pillow has been tagged for readding too much like an advertisement, I am trying to edit it, because I know that it is a historical place, that i have research for college papers. I don't know what Languege to cleanup after my last edit, and how to get it untagged. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Camilittle (talk • contribs) 17:50, 23 October 2008 (UTC) (Camilittle (talk) 17:58, 23 October 2008 (UTC))

Well, for a start sign your comments. Try comparing it to other articles. Try asserting facts about opinions but not the opinions themselves.--Mr. SvMvP (talk) 18:16, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Editing comments

Please don't edit other users' comments on talk pages, the way you did to mine at User talk:Camilittle. [ roux ] [x] 18:03, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

My mistake.--Mr. SvMvP (talk) 18:06, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry case

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Tom Sayle (3) for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page.

Okay, but I'm going to bed now anyway; will start spamming unblock requests and cutting/pasting them to a textfile. Mwahahahahaha!--Mr. SvMvP (talk) 19:28, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
