Rollback

Ok, you have rollback per the message on my talk page. I'll check out the vandals you mentioned. Graham87 10:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Argh not again. Blocking seems to be pointless ... this person seems to be on a dynamic IP and can just float around until they find an IP address that's unblocked. I've Blocking just slows the person down rather than stopping them. I wonder if semi-protecting a few, but not all, of the Rugrats vandal's favourite targets will shock them a bit? Graham87 01:32, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually the vandalism levels on that page are nowhere near as bad as they used to be - the George W. Bush vandalism was one of the main reasons for implementing semi-protection, and before that, the editors disabled section editing on that page so *everyone* could see their comment at the top saying something to the effect of "you will be blocked without warning if you vandalise this page". Those were the days. Graham87 08:47, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Angelica Pickles

That image is not fan art,it's official art from the RugRats Website. ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 21:03, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

How can that image be fan art if I got it from the official RugRats Website? ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 17:06, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: Rugrats problems

I personally wouldn't semi-protect All Grown Up!, because I don't think the vandalism is frequent enough. You can try putting an HTML comment in the appropriate place saying "it's nine years per this source". As for the second question, fan art isn't an acceptable substitute for the real image. Either have the real image with an appropriate nonfree use rationale or nothing at all. That's my opinion anyway ... I don't dabble with images in Wikipedia for obvious reasons. Graham87 10:19, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

I've moved the article back. Please don't do cut-and-paste moves in the future - history splitting is not allowed per Wikipedia's license. It's best to ask an admin to fix it. Graham87 11:23, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Drew Pickles

But he's notable enough for his own article. ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 16:08, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes,I think that he needs an article considering how popular he is on the Internet. ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 16:09, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: He's back

Yeah I found him the other day as 69.182.44.239. The IP you mentioned has been blocked. Graham87 09:31, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Tommy picture

The picture I'm putting of him is more accurate. The one that you are putting has Tommy wearing a hat,but he does not wear a hat in RugRats. ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 13:51, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

It just goes on and on my friend

All edits undone, user blocked. Graham87 04:09, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, just keep me informed if this vandal continues. Six month blocks seem to work well, and I haven't heard of any collateral damage from them. Graham87 04:34, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Requested move

I've fixed the history of Talk:Rugrats. You can only move a page over a redirect when the only revision in the target's history is a redirect. So if you have moved Page A to Page B, you can only move Page B back to Page A if Page A has had no edits in the meantime. Graham87 00:15, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Possibly unfree Image:Two All Grown Up books.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Two All Grown Up books.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. XxJoshuaxX (talk) 00:50, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

It's probably not since I assume it shows the book cover or some copyrighted part of the book. I almost never deal with images so I only know the basics of image use policy. Ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Graham87 07:34, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Also, you can link an image or category by adding a colon before its name like [[:Image:Example.jpg]] and [[:Category:Actors]] which produces Image:Example.jpg and Category:Actors. Graham87 07:39, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the barnstar. Yeah images, especially non-free ones, are quite hard to work with. Graham87 07:58, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Is my image free?

See my [new] comment here. Guy0307 (talk) 04:55, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Always happy to help :) Guy0307 (talk) 12:11, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: User:Writespite sockpuppet

Re your message: Thanks for the alert. Another admin has already blocked the account. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:19, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Torchwood soundtrack page

A glance at Silva Screen's website shows that the soundtrack is real, so it's not a deletion candidate, but it would be good if the page indicated where the information like the track listings came from. I'd drop the page's creator a friendly note, explaining about WP:RS and WP:NOR, and asking where the track listings came from. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 00:09, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Username change

Yep that's fine by me. Thanks for asking. Graham87 11:54, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

More Rugrats vandalism

I've blocked User:JohnTBoy, but I don't see the point in deleting the userpage as it's not doing any harm. I won't block the IP addresses quite yet ... the autoblock on the user should stop him for a day or so. Graham87 05:56, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Help needed

{{helpme}}

In my monobook.js, how do I set twinkle to stop adding shared IP notices when warning IP vandals? Thanks John Sloan (talk) 20:14, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

This section of the documentation should be what you're looking for. Set "showSharedIP" to false. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 20:17, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

TwinkleConfig = {
        showSharedIPNotice              :       false,
};

More config options here. –xeno (talk) 20:18, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Fixed. Reload your cache and try again. –xeno (talk) 20:44, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Deleted, try again. You should disable Twinkle in your gadgets if you are installing it thru the monobook. –xeno (talk) 20:54, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

• Just to confirm, you are reloading your cache, yes? (CTRL-R in FF or CTRL-Reload in IE) –xeno (talk) 21:00, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

weird. FF version # ? –xeno (talk) 21:04, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Good to know. Want me to try and put the config back in now? –xeno (talk) 21:05, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

For some reason your browser seems to lag behind or something...... –xeno (talk) 21:10, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
