Hello
Hello either way Only! I am interested in programming a bot on Wikia. How exactly could I do that? --Spidey665, 23:04, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
- No clue. This is Wikipedia, by the way, not Wikia. For Wikia questions, go somewhere that isn't Wikipedia. either way (talk) 23:10, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
Sig
You need to fix your sig mate, you're still linking to your old pages--Jac16888 Talk 00:41, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, thanks. I forgot I had a "custom" one in there. only (talk) 00:45, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your careful explanation when I mixed up 3rr violation and vandalism during the ODB++ edit dispute that I allowed myself to get sucked into. Woz2 (talk) 17:16, 1 October 2011 (UTC) |
CSD nomination
Hi, is there anywhere where I can request speedy deletion? I have put a CSD tag on this page and request deletion for it. Thank you. Spidey665 23:44, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
Thank you!!!
I just wanted to personally thank you for defending me here. I felt quite threatened by his/her comments. I have another favor: Could you ban the user indefinitely, please? Thank you so much! As I see you already blocked him/her for a week previously, I won't pester you for more. However, if the situation and the user's edits call for one, then it is completely up to you if you want to block them or not. 71.146.8.5 (talk) 00:17, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- Still...although Spidey did something wrong, do you understand what you did wrong? --Bryce Wilson | talk 01:34, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- And Spidey was blocked for a week previously for socializing on my talk page, which has nothing to do with what happened today. --Bryce Wilson | talk 01:40, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
Sorry
Sorry, Only. --Spidey665 00:20, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- Don't apologize...just go read some policies and figure out what you're doing here. only (talk) 00:20, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the advice, though. Spidey665 00:26, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- Spidey665, if you're still here, see my comment at User talk:71.146.8.5#Sorry. 71.146.8.5 (talk) 00:31, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the advice, though. Spidey665 00:26, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
Block of 216.56.4.46
216.56.4.46 (talk · contribs) is Wiscnet: Wisconsin's Research and Education Network - I've added the educational template, but I'm wondering if a week's block will be enough to prevent more vandalism as it is a school. My feeling is no. Dougweller (talk) 14:24, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- Well the IP's edits seem to be more recent...if it was a little more wide-spread/active over a longer period of time, I'd consider a long block right now...but I have no prejudice to you extending it if you feel fit. only (talk) 16:44, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
Sorry for the confusion
I'm sorry, I didn't explain that User talk:75.6.237.63 and User talk:71.146.8.5 are the same user. Can I replace my comment now? 75.6.237.63 (talk) 01:24, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- Yes. It wasn't clear when you removed it that you're the same...it just appeared to be a random IP coming in and removing it. only (talk) 01:28, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you so much. Again, I'm sincerely sorry for the major (but common) confusion. 75.6.237.63 (talk) 01:30, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- I have removed your comment at his talk page, though, as it comes across as "grave dancing" on a blocked user. only (talk) 01:30, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- What's “grave dancing”? And yes, I did see that. 75.6.237.63 (talk) 01:31, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- Grave dancing=taunting/baiting a blocked user. Your comment, especially the way you placed a talkback and struck it in the same edit, plus the header with its strikeout can be seen as that so it's best to just leave it removed. only (talk) 01:35, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

2011 Pan American Games
Putting false results, removing a part of a template making it appear as a red link isn't considered vandalism? Intoronto1125TalkContributions 22:06, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
- I don't see how this edit is a "false result" considering it was an update to the chart that you eventually restored yourself. Some of hte other things look to be done in error, but it does appear he/she is acting in good faith. only (talk) 22:14, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Colofac and Amshomjudg
Given their edits, and their comment on Colofac's talk page, it seems likely that User:Amshomjudg is Colofac editing through his indef block. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:39, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
- Seems to be resolved already. only (talk) 01:21, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
thanks
Thanks for fixing the template! Secretlondon (talk) 18:38, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
MSU Interview
Dear Only,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
- Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
- Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
- All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
- All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
- The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
