IRC cloak request

I am Mentifisto on freenode and I would like the cloak wikipedia/Mentifisto. Thanks. --Mentifisto 04:40, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Your revert

The article contained cheat codes. I removed them. I was simply following the guidelines put forth by WP:NOT#GUIDE.209.243.25.69 21:30, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Please read the new topic that i wrote in the "Planemo" discussion section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Onsly (talk • contribs) 19:40, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

status

Yes, although I don't change it all the time. If I'm only going to be online for a few minutes, I usually don't even bother. Similarly, if I'm online but I'm going offline for a short period of time, I don't change it. Natalie 17:34, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

When I first added the bar, the auto-changing templates didn't exist. Since then, I haven't really found it problematic enough to think that having it done automatically was worthwhile. I'm also frequently online and perhaps reading Wikipedia, but not making edits, which would make the status-update bot mark me as offline. Natalie 17:41, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure. The only one I'm aware of monitors a user's edits and changes the status based on that. But it's entirely possible that there are other auto-update status bots that use different methods. Natalie 17:47, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Mr Strong

My reverting was to the proper article, you have replaced it with the altered "humourous" version that I spent some time replacing. This was done just two minutes after I sorted it. Please check the versions before acting as some sort of despot!!! :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.242.127.132 (talk) 14:09, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks you.

I appreciate that vandalism reversion. Wowest (talk) 03:11, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. :-) -- Mentifisto 03:14, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Warnings to spammers

I blocked the spammer that you had just reported to WP:AIV. Thanks for the report. However, just a thought -- I do think that to the extent possible, go through the range of spamming warnings, rather than imposing a single warning. The four-level warnings exist for a reason -- they allow people who genuinely think that their links may be helpful to get a chance to understand that spamming is not helpful and is not permissible. --Nlu (talk) 07:30, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Question

I'm sorry, I can't answer your question. Let's just say I'm based in the Philippines. I can't tell you my nationality either. I just want to protect my offline identity. I hope you don't mind my reply. I also apologize if I hurt you or I didn't reply the way you wanted; I just don't want to reveal myself. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 12:12, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Peruvian footballer Carlos Orejuela

thanks for your note. I boldly despeedied and added a lead. He sounds notable as a pro footballer, and I think we can expand the article. Dlohcierekim 03:48, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. I just took the info from the infobox and wrote an intro sentence. User talk:Metropolitan90 says that the team is in the Primera División Peruana, so he would be a pro. The creator created 7 articles that are now deleted for "no context". I think three survived and one more was recreated. I think the info in the info box counts. Others did not. Sometimes you just gotta WP:IAR in favor of the article and hope for the best. Dlohcierekim 04:22, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of HokieKid

A tag has been placed on HokieKid requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 12:23, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Regarding "Copyright problems" on User_talk:E.baracke

Goodness, I think you're right. I just did a google search and found that reference. I didn't know what "Tubious.com" was, and after looking at its home page I still don't. But there is still a problem with "Copyright. 2006 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins", so it's as well the article was deleted. I wonder if we should now delete the article from Tubious.com, which seems to be possible for any user? P.S. - I'll ask the admin who speedied it for advice. JohnCD 16:05, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

You're right, I have boldly zapped it from Tubious, I guess there might be trouble if the copyright owner found it there saying it had come from here. JohnCD 16:17, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

The courtesy of a note to an author is desired and appreciated

Recently, in the last hour, you moved a mis-named template now proplerly called -- Template:USA PATRIOT Act small minutes after it was saved, and it gave the appearance to the creator that the work had been deleted, as another admin cam along and deleted the redirect--making the existence of the page not available.
Communicating with the author, who learned of the typo upon saving the template, and was in process of moving the template to the proper name, would have saved more than a little annoyance and wasted effort. -- Yellowdesk (talk) 07:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi there
