I replied again, in case you didn't see that. ceranthor 20:46, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

No probs - got it, but will need some time to review - and wiki time currently limited by ANi debate on my gross misconduct .... or something. Pedro :  Chat  20:56, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

My talk page

Hi Pedro, thanks for trying to protect me by reverting the talk from User:24.138.75.74 on my talk page, however just for future FYI, I prefer to leave those comments there. I may be in the minority, but unless comments are blatant attacks or filled with profanity, I see no reason to convince other users that they're being "silenced" by removing their talk from my talk page. Accordingly, I undid your revert and responded to the comment. But thanks though, and keep up the great work. --Shirik (talk) 21:32, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Pedro. I would also like to thank you for dealing with Pedro by blocking him. I had no idea users on here could send messages like that, and now my daughter has read the foul things he wrote when she tried to access Wikipedia. He should remain blocked permanently. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.115.46.71 (talk) 02:47, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

RfA Thanks

Practice What You Preach (disambiguation)

Comments like this are unwarrantable if you want to tell people to stop swearing or using other forms of offensive language on here. I don't endorse the actions of User:RMHED at all but saying that you'll "fuck off now" is not practicing what you preach at all. If you don't want someone foul mouthing, do not foul mouth yourself in your edits either because doing so only promotes bad language to continue. An unacceptable comment on your part, no matter how you wish to justify yourself.--Sky Attacker the legend reborn... 02:45, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

For fuck's sake. From the best of my knowledge, Pedro has never asked anyone to stop "foul mouthing", swearing, or otherwise stop using some form of offensive language simply for the sake of it. We're not fucking censored. "Bad language" is something your mommy taught you, not something that needs to be preached against here. Tan | 39 05:38, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Sky Attacker are you fucking kidding me? Fucking Pedro would be one of the last fucking people to tell people to stop fucking swearing. It was all in context of the thread. Secondly, if RHMED had an issue with it they would be more than capable of fucking saying so.   «l| Promethean ™|l»  (talk) 06:08, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Tan and Promethan. Sky Attacker, I'm afraid you seriously didn't read the context of that thread did you? Pedro :  Chat  12:15, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you

Most welcome. Whatever our past issues, I have no doubt about your abilty to use the extra tools on this website, and indeed I opposed and still oppose the removal of them as detrimental to Wikipedia. Pedro :  Chat  20:43, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Huggle Bot Acc

Hi, I was just wondering, because I'm not to keen on my Huggle edits clogging up my Contribs, and I want to use another account, would I be allowed to create a account called LcawteBot I for example to use for Huggle? And what process' other than creating the account and getting rollback would I have to go through, if any? --Lcawte (talk) 16:13, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

You shouldn't use the word "bot" in any alternate account as that's reserved for accounts that are actually bots. Choose something like "Lcawte Alternate" or whatever. If you create the account and link it to your main one (log in to you main account and post to confirm) then I can grant rollback to the alternate account and you can install huggle into your css. Pedro :  Chat  16:28, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Ok, so I'm going for LcawteHuggle... --Lcawte (talk) 16:38, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

What about for bot accounts for AWB and Pywikipedia? --Lcawte (talk) 16:38, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Don't know what py. have as a policy so can't comment I'm afraid. For AWB - if the account is being operated by a human for the purposes of making changes on WP avoid the word "bot". If it's automated (even using AWB as the vehicle) then that's fine to have as a bot name - but don't forget it should have a bot flag (see WP:BRFA) Pedro :  Chat  16:42, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Ah - confusion reigns! If written in pywikipedia see above - WP:BRFA! Pedro :  Chat  16:44, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

LcawteHuggle has been created: Log --Lcawte (talk) 19:00, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Edit: Your Bcrat/Sysop right? So you can see Deleted Contribs, could you look up when my first edit day is for Lcawte and WebCoder11, thanks! --Lcawte (talk) 19:02, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

I've added rollback to LcawteHuggle (talk · contribs) for you. What do you mean by "first edit day" ? Unless your first edits were deleted then anyone can see them.. ? Pedro :  Chat  20:25, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, first edit day in first edit I made, the day it was on. I'm not too sure what my first edit was as my account has been around a while and it may be that I edited a page that has been deleted since. Oh and hows the Account Creation thing on the Toolserver going? Need more users for it or are you on top of everything? --Lcawte (talk) 20:31, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

The first edit you made that has been deleted was only in May 2009 from your main account so likely your earliest edits still show from your contribution history without needing to see deleted ones. Pedro :  Chat  21:00, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

And your only delted edit with the Webcoder account was Novemeber! Pedro :  Chat  21:01, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Pedro is a Fagggot (sic)

[2]. Alas, I'm afraid I am not a rather tender and tasty meatball. Oh, and as it goes, I'm not gay, not Spanish and not overly liberal. But I do suck lolly pops if it helps. Pedro :  Chat  20:20, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

I do believe sic is meant to appear in [square brackets]. –xeno^talk 20:25, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

On Wikipedia, only if you wish it to link to something?. Pedro :  Chat  20:27, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

No I mean [sic] instead of (sic) ... Just trying to be an annoying pedant, you see. –xeno^talk 20:33, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

So now, if I ever quote Pedro on this, I should say "Pedro is a Fagggot (sic) [sic]"? --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:36, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

oOo. Good one. –xeno^talk 20:40, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

What's a "spick"? --Malleus Fatuorum 20:33, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

It's "spick [sic]". --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:38, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Piers Anthonys "Bio of a space tyrant" had much on this as I recall. And a good, although hardly taxing, read the books are. Which is more than can be said for the IP's comments that assume my username means I'm Spanish. On that basis Malleus is an Italian dead by some 1,500 years, Xeno is likely an ancient Greek and Floquenbeam needs to stop his or her fog lamps from glaring :) Pedro :  Chat  20:47, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I am ὁ ξένος (a foreigner) –xeno^talk 20:49, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Aye :)Pedro :  Chat  20:54, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Someone with the username "Pedro" has to be Mexican/Spanish. Makes sense to me, as I did in fact die 1,500 years ago. Then again 936 years ago ... and then ... --Malleus Fatuorum 21:44, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Actually ...

Actually, only about half of the headline number of admins are nominally active,[3] which I think is a step in the right direction. Perhaps one day there will be the Nirvanah of no active admins, if the project can ever develop a more adult style of governance. :-) --Malleus Fatuorum 21:41, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Reminds me of some words from a guy who was considered either a genius or a traitor: "Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built on the ruins of the bowers of paradise..." Tan | 39 03:46, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Barring

Would i get barred by you if I was rude about you personally?
