User talk:Ihaveahax: Difference between revisions

Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The or button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.

If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.

Ihaveamac, good luck, and have fun. --E4024 (talk) 21:59, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: A barnstar for you!

Thank you for the barnstar! Getting rid of spam has become a recent focus of mine. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:20, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your signature

Hello Ihaveamac, I noticed the page you have with your signature. I just wanted to remind you (in case you didn't know) that you can add a custom signature in your preferences so you can sign with four tildes as you normally would. If you intend to use User:Ihaveamac/sig as a template, let me know and I'll make some changes so it will display properly. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:47, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Blanking warning messages from talk pages

Hi.I saw your edit query when restoring blanked messages on an IP page. The general answer is that editors may blank their own talk pages but it is less clear for anonymous IP editors. I have often restored comments just as you did, but if it just a single message I guess it is probably prudent to be accommodating! Regards Velella ^{Velella Talk} 23:11, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So, it's good when they remove warnings from their talk pages? Well, he did it again with the summary "SUCH SAD PEOPLE. YOU REALLY HAVNT GOT ANYTHING BETTER TO DO ..LOL". ~ihaveamac [talk|contribs] 23:20, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, not good, but usually not worth worrying about. The Bots can usually keep count even if comments are removed. With editors like the IP you have been dealing with, I find it is usually better just to walk away until something more serious happens. I think that he/she only made one vandal edit and all the rest has been repercussions. It is often best just to cut a little slack until it gets serious . Velella ^{Velella Talk} 23:31, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense now. ~ihaveamac [talk|contribs] 23:33, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Dutta Vs Dutta poster

No, there is any other version without watermark (in all version they have added some watermarks). I could try deleting the watermark using photoshop brush, but that generally spoils some part of an image's look (i.e. you copy some portion of the surrounding and try to hide the watermark with it). So, I thought to wait till 23 November (film's release date), hopefully we'll get 1 clean image then. Thanks for your suggestion and kindness! --Tito Dutta (talk) 07:04, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gustavo Romero

The talk page just repeated the article page, the content of both was Gustavo Romero (born 1985), Colombian photographer, videographer, and designer plus a weblink Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:06, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Protection question

{{help me}} If a page in my userspace is fully protected so only administrators can edit it, will I still be able to edit it since it's in my userspace? ~ihaveamac [talk|contribs] 07:59, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No. JohnCD (talk) 08:53, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ok, thanks. I thought I saw something like that on a page, but I wasn't sure. ~ihaveamac [talk|contribs] 08:54, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Having confidently given that answer, I had doubts, but I have confirmed it by experiment. I have an alternate account for use where it might not be secure to use an admin account, so I logged in to that and set up a subpage, came back to my main account and protected it, went back to the alt account and no, I couldn't edit it.

Your iChatGui

Hey, I have a question. I'm using your iChatGui and I was wondering if it was possible to make it not show a message that starts with any of my personal admin commands that I made myself.

SineBot

Thanks for the information, I had done that only a few minutes before your message. I don't use my alt account much, I set it up for the purpose of using it on extra devices (tablets work computer, etc) so I never noticed there was an issue. :) -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 16:42, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

concerning your nomination to delete my page, "Mr Ideran"

Hello, this is wolfie the oe wolf and i am here to ask you to lift the speedy deletion of my page Mr ideran. I have worked tiredlessly on this for over a week, being new to Wikipedia, and i wanted to write a page on a mentor, a father figue if you will, and pay my respects. This is not just some botched information I scrambled together, this is actual information i gathered from students and teachers. The entire of high school of Oswego East would be just let down if this page was removed. And i promise you, there will be no lewd comments put on this page, only the factual information, from an honest student. Even though some of the information is sometimes hard to believe, you must take my word that it comes either directly from lessons or conversations with Steve. If this article is not deleted then it will only grow and prosper for its time on Wikipedia. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolfie the oe wolf (talk • contribs) 04:59, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

once again, concerning

Im sorry but i dont follow, im new so walk me through here man. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolfie the oe wolf (talk • contribs) 05:11, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

?

so long as students are able to search the name mr ideran, easily, and the page stays for no matter what edits are on there, note they will be legitimate. Wolfie Wolfstein (talk) 05:19, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

thanks...but.

thanks, i know sandlot is for practicing and it wont appear if you search as just a person wanting to read it. What can i do to fix the existing page, put it back up, and allow the page to actually stay without so many flags and 10 yard penalties?? Wolfie Wolfstein (talk) 05:26, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

cool

thanks man, i believe five sources from legitimate sites will work?

Thanks

Once again thanks, by the way.. i am doing this not only for the kids in my school so that can sort of create a cult around him, cuz he doesnt get any recognition, but also i am using this to sharpen my comedic writing skills, cuz im taking second city classes, so this helps immensely, thanks for taking the time to help a dumb ass like me!Wolfie Wolfstein (talk) 05:45, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for the revert on my talk page. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:31, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I was constantly refreshing recent changes, and found your page (on my watch list) blanked. iXavier [talk|contribs] 05:35, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message: The WHOIS records and comments by the first IP show that they are proxy servers for the Opera Turbo service. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:46, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message: The proxies should probably be blocked as you said since they are a form of open proxies, but a larger discussion should probably be held since it would be blocking a service of a particular web browser. I don't usually deal with proxies, so you might want to bring it up at Wikipedia:WikiProject on open proxies/Requests. As for your testing, my guess is that it might be that IPv4 users are going through one set of IPs while IPv6 users are going through another. I don't know how the Opera Turbo service works, but from the description, it seems that it only kicks in under certain circumstances. Obviously, I don't use Opera. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:02, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message: Interesting, though it doesn't surprise me. Everything is configurable nowadays. On a side note, you're right, I was giving that vandal a little too much slack, but I took care of that. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:32, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message: Yeah, I know. I've been watching. It's pretty funny. Another admin will come along and put a stop to that. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:00, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
