Meet the Beatles!

Hello. I see you moved Meet The Beatles! back to Meet the Beatles!, normally this would be inline with our naming conventions, however, the band's name is The Beatles not the Beatles. Rocket000 11:06, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Fine. — Save_Us_229 11:14, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Flag icons.

The convention for wrestler info boxes is to put the flag next to their name. Most similar articles I've seen have it, so it's not something I randomly did. Further, Jericho is both a Canadian and American citizen, so it's appropriate to put both. It's not like he's just lived in one of the countries a long time. -- Kevin Browning 02:47, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but the convention for wrestling articles doesn't meet WP:FLAG. Please actually read WP:FLAG#Do not emphasize nationality without good reason. Regardless of consensus the pro wrestling wikiproject may think it has, they do not trump guidelines already established. — Save_Us_229 02:51, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm still going to stalk you.

Just saying... :) Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 06:03, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

At least you have the courtesy to let the victim of the stalking know, thanks! :P — Save_Us_229 06:05, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I honestly wasn't stalking you to find this out, though. I swear! I actually noticed you edit Moe Epsilon, who is still on my watchlist. I was about to tell you that you left Wikipedia a while ago... heh. Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 06:07, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I left, when? It all seems like one big day :) I still have my watchlist from Moe Epsilon still full probably, I never cleared it, I wouldn't be surprised if half the links on there are red-linked by now. — Save_Us_229 06:12, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Apologies

Sorry Save Us 229 if I caused any difficulties or embarrassment for questioning your franchise; however, I hope you will understand that with all the ramblings lately about sockpuppets and alternate accounts, as well as Giano's(understandably) contentious candidacy, I thought it best to raise the question upfront, and let others review it and come to an appropriate determination. To be honest, I suspected you were a prior contributor, but had no idea of the circumstances under which you were operating under a new account. --Risker 06:30, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

It's quite alright, I'm a hot head, never mind me. :) You were doing the right thing and understand. I just wish I could have holded out a little longer before telling everybody like I planned, but I guess I can't keep a secret long. :P — Save_Us_229 06:33, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Merge histories

You wrote on my talk page:

Could you merge the histories of User talk:Moe Epsilon and User talk:Save Us 229? Moe Epsilon is my old account. Thank you. — Save_Us_229 06:24, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

but i understand this requires some kind of verification that the identities are the same. I have done merges of articles but not of user accts, and i know neither what the standard and modes of verification are (e.g., it may even take a developer), nor what documentation of verification should be created. So i think you should try an admin with experience more specific to your need. I'm afraid, BTW, that even if you could point me to the policies, getting oriented would push me even further past a reasonable bedtime, in light of my current work-in-progress that i don't want to leave half done overnight. Sorry; i know this must feel like Catch-22!
--Jerzy•t 06:39, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

That's alright, I'll ask another administrator as you suggested. — Save_Us_229 06:54, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Moe

Moe... is that you? The Chronic 06:45, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Sur...prise? :) — Save_Us_229 11:15, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

...MOE! What's up? I thought you said you were gonna be away for a while! :) The Chronic 01:08, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Not being active fully for a month or so was long enough :D — Save_Us_229 02:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it was 10 days... but the point is that nobody can resist the pull of the Wiki. :P Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 02:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I was inactive for most of October too, but I was trying to stick around :P — Save_Us_229 03:39, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, we missed you during your retirement. The Chronic 03:05, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, appriciate that :) — Save_Us_229 03:39, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

N...ot? :) The Chronic 05:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Finally, I can acknowledge your existence :). Hi Moe! The Hybrid T/C 06:42, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't exist, what are you talking about? :P — Save_Us_229 08:41, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

The Chronic has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!

Andhranews = spam?

Hi there, I was just curious about this edit; is AndhraNews really going to be placed on the spam blacklist? May I ask why? Thanks, Ekantik ^talk 17:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Please see this link Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Community ban of spammer. This site appears to have been a part of a spam campaign by someone closly related to the site. The site is being globally removed from all Wikis and then being placed on the spam blacklist. — Save_Us_229 17:12, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh dear. Oh well. I can see how this may present a problem with regards to news references having to be replaced. But thankfully it seems that only one page on my watchlist had an andhranews reference (actual news) and I've already replaced it. I guess regular editors on other affected articles will have to do the same thing. Thanks for the quick response anyhow, Ekantik ^talk 17:35, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Well if the news piece was as notable the first time it was added, it shouldn't be a problem to find a replacement reference, no? When it comes down to it, they have to be removed now rather than later. I'm willing to help start adding refs once this is removed, though. — Save_Us_229 17:42, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help with all the andhranews.net spam! You are definitely improving encyclopedia getting rid of them. --A. B. ^(talk) 18:59, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Your welcome, I'm always glad to do the tedious tasks :P — Save_Us_229 19:04, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Aloha!

I just wanted to swing by here and let you know that I do appreciate all the hard work you are doing. I mean that sincerely. Removing spam is very often a thankless and tiresome job. I do not want to fight... it leads nowhere (and really, we're on the same "side"). I just thought I'd let you know. Mahalo, Save Us. --Ali'i 18:32, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

It's fine, I guess I'm just tired cause I haven't slept in a day or so and I guess I lost my cool somewhere around trying to defend myself, remove spam links, start a RFCU, monitering AN and AN/I and finding new conversation on Wikipedia pop-up about my edits. No hard feelings. — Save_Us_229 18:38, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

ʻAʻole pilikia! Keep up the good work, but get some rest. ;-) --Ali'i 18:46, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Will do :P — Save_Us_229 18:47, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Teamwork!

Our little deletion spree embodied the very essence of Wikipedia. Thanks for the company on a dreary task (and we didn't have too many edit conflicts, did we?). Jeffpw (talk) 20:14, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

No problem, tedious tasks are my niche :) Actually throughout the entire removal process I didn't have one edit conflict, it surprised me a little. — Save_Us_229 01:46, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Comment

I hope you know I wasn’t trying to revert any of your edits. The edit I was referring to was on an article I was trying to edit. I already posted a comment at MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist‎ and know after reading the above comments about the URL, I have a clearer picture regarding what’s going on. – Zntrip 23:35, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

That seemed to contradict itself as the edit you mentioned on the talk page was on Portal:Current events/2007 December 3 and you said you wanted to 'undo it' and that is the page that I edited if you check the history of the article. I was just saying, if you see my name in the history of the article and you disagree with it, feel free to ask me about why or what the edit was for. — Save_Us_229 01:50, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Well you see, I was trying to undo the edit by 204.60.103.130 who kept changing “BBC News” to simply “BBC”, go figure, but couldn’t because the blacklisted URL was already there. I got confused because I thought the site was a legitimate news source and I made the comment on MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist‎. If you check my contributions you will see that I posed my first comment on MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist‎ at 03:05, 6 December 2007 and you made your first edit on Portal:Current events/2007 December 3 at 09:24, 6 December 2007, over six hours later. That’s why you’re comment on my talk page confused the hell out of me. I didn’t even realize you edited Portal:Current events/2007 December 3. – Zntrip 04:37, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I see, my apologies. I followed the link to your comment after I was provided with it at AN/I and thought it was more recent than my removal of the link from that particular edit, apparently I was about 6 hours off. Sorry for the confusion. — Save_Us_229 06:23, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

No problem, Wikipedia can be a hectic place sometimes. – Zntrip 06:43, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Tell me about it :) — Save_Us_229 10:01, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
