Talkback isn't needed; I have the page on my watchlist and am following the conversation. However, it also looks like it's pretty much been shot down. EVula // talk // ☯ // 06:26, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Versus and I are just messing around. Funnyman390 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough, though I'd already semi'ed the pages. *shrug* EVula // talk // ☯ // 07:01, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

I think this might actually be a Grawp sock (or some other derivative surely related called Fang) that seems to vandalize by using that image - see this diff as an example; some were already blocked. -- Mentifisto 01:33, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Outing

Hi, a couple of weeks ago someone apparently created four outing accounts about you. Just thought you'd like to know... Jafeluv (talk) 09:31, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Haha, that's hilarious. Those details are so amazingly easy to find by piecing together on-wiki evidence, I'm amazed that someone bothered creating those accounts.

Anyway, I suppose I should work my block and oversight voodoo on them, just for good measure... EVula // talk // ☯ // 14:33, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Bubble tea!

-download | sign! has given you a bubble tea! Bubble teas promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a bubble tea, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy drinking!

Spread the bubbliness of bubble teas by adding {{subst:User:Download/Bubble tea}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message!

Well, I actually hate tea, but I definitely appreciate the sentiment, and won't hold it against you. ;) EVula // talk // ☯ // 05:51, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Proof

Lol I've got no proof :( -PirateSmackK (talk) 19:38, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

At least make me a rollbacker? PirateSmackK (talk) 20:14, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

...no clue what you're talking about with the "proof" business. EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:39, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Wow. You asked me to prove I was an IP at WT:RFA didn't you? I realize my RfA wouldn't pass anyway so I got it deleted. Now give me rollback! PirateSmackK (talk) 04:59, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Ah. Keep in mind that I make lots of edits, and can't necessarily remember everything; context is always helpful.

As for granting rollback, I see no reason to do so. You're a very new user, and rollback is only granted once some evidence of consistent good judgement has been shown. EVula // talk // ☯ // 05:10, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

But I'm not a "very new user"? -PirateSmackK (talk) 17:42, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

I never said you weren't; you are, but I didn't point that out as I'd be willing to grant rollback to a new enwiki editor if they had considerable wiki experience on another WMF project. You don't, though. EVula // talk // ☯ // 18:58, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

And apart from that, this[1] is very bad form. Yintaɳ  22:11, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Indeed, that would be a strike against the aforementioned "consistent good judgement" that is required to get rollback. EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:16, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

I've listed some of my concerns at User_talk:Taxman#admin (dif [2]). I would appreciate it if you could give me your opinion on the subject, either there or on my Talkpage. Thanks, Yintaɳ  10:54, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Responded. I don't think he has long before someone shuffles him off the wiki coil. EVula // talk // ☯ // 14:32, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Why? Please assume good faith instead PirateSmackK (talk) 05:54, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

WP:AGF has not been violated. Given some of your edits, I have ample reason to hold my opinion. However, nothing would please me more than to be proven wrong about you; are you up to the challenge? ;) EVula // talk // ☯ // 05:56, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

That's what I'm trying to do if others let me to PirateSmackK (talk) 15:00, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Nobody is stopping you but yourself. You pestered everyone under the sun for rollback, then promptly abused the privilege when it was granted to you. You can edit just fine without it; I suggest you do so, if you're truly serious about proving to everyone that you can positively contribute to the project. (I was able to make more than nine thousand edits without rollback before I became an admin, and it was without Twinkle or any other automated system; it is possible) EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:05, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

I know I'll have to do without rollback. I think I misused it unintentionally as that was the fastest way to revert and I was mad. Don;t you get mad when someone reverts you and "identifies" it as vandalism? :@ PirateSmackK (talk) 15:33, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Confirmation

Hi EVula, can you confirm it is you who has signed up for The Wikipedia Forum with your username? Thanks. dottydotdot (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Yup, 'tis me. EVula // talk // ☯ // 14:06, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: PirateSmackK

Hmm, hadn't noticed that. His use of rollback so far seems to be alright; if I see anything questionable I'll remove the rights. Thanks for letting me know, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 15:20, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm watching him as well, and I doubt we two are the only ones. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:11, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't know why you'd think that. ;) (context) — Ched :  ?  08:00, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Nor do I... Yintaɳ  15:50, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

[3] –Juliancolton | ^Talk 13:08, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

WP:EVULA proves true once again! ;) EVula // talk // ☯ // 14:13, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Verrry bad —Preceding unsigned comment added by PirateSmackK (talk • contribs) 14:59, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, us "other Wikipedians" must stick together. ;) Yintaɳ  18:13, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Removing RfD tags.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Template:Battlestar Galactica regulars. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Remember, you can always use the What links here button to determine if there are any transclusions not yet converted to the new template by another editor. Thanks for your concern! —Preceding unsigned comment added by BlueSquadronRaven (talk • contribs) 16:48, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

eh...WP:DTTR... i've half a mind to template you back for not signing! =) –xeno ^talk 16:57, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Indeed, welcome to Wikipedia, EVula! :) –Juliancolton | ^Talk 16:58, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

...this entire thread makes me chuckle. Just the thing I needed after having lunch with an ex-girlfriend. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 18:38, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

That's fine about the template, though, you could have easily seen that I removed all transclusions before listing it at RfD by using "What links here". Cheers. --BlueSquadronRaven 18:54, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

There's a delay between transclusions being removed and them being de-listed from the "What links here" page. I could see you were working towards it, but had no way of verifying it. As it is, I think putting it up at RfD is silly; redirects are cheap. EVula // talk // ☯ // 18:56, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello

Hi. I was recently bored, and wound up clicking my merry way unto User:EVula/fun. I was so entertained that I wound up reading just about every page in your userspace... I find it imperative that you become my friend. Immediately. The level of friendly wit in my life has been utterly lacking!

On a more serious note, I was actually thinking about doing a sort of informal editor review, and was hoping that a distinguished admin/crat/all sorts of cool functionary stuff guy such as yourself would mind looking over my wikisoul and giving me a few pointers on where to adjust my energies and focus. Think of it as if you were evaluating me for an RfA; and I would much appreciate your constructive criticism. bahamut0013^words_deeds 13:16, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
