User:RoyBoy/WikiHistory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Found out about Wikipedia from somewhere, created an account immediately and my first edit was a rhetorical question to my talk page @ 17:44, 20 October 2004. By edit 1000 I was adding images to AdBusters. Edit #1307 (including this one) is when I found out about the edit counter, from Dbenbenn RfA comment. - RoyBoy [] 06:11, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

By edit 2000 I was getting involved in Votes for Deletion; which is now Articles for Deletion. Edit 3000 saw me contributing to Star Trek lists with images and summaries and the STNG list will likely be featured. At 4000 I was involved in a lengthy discussion on Abortion regarding the veracity of a study indicating abortion increased the risk of preterm delivery. Then by 4500 I was deep into reverting vandalism.

I was nominated for adminship by Ral315 on September 21st and made an administrator by Nichalp around 2 Oct2005 after a glitch in Special:makesysop was fixed.

  • 2 Oct 2005 – Nichalp Rights for "User:RoyBoy" set (+sysop)
  • 2 Oct 2005 – My first rollback: abortion
  • 2 Oct 2005 – Proposed a shorter Watchlist blurb to fit one line
  • 4 Oct 2005, RoyBoy blocked 129.15.120.186 (expires 02:38, 5 October 2005) (Repeated vandal of music pages) – First block, which helped NickBush24
  • 4 Oct 2005, RoyBoy blocked #42036 (expires 14:12, 5 October 2005) (Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Pie on wheels". The reason given for Pie on wheels's block is: "on wheels sockpuppet".) – First encounter with an "on wheels" account
  • 5 Octr 2005 – First WP:AfD since renamed
  • 6 Oct 2005 – First admin misconduct, nominating James DeBello for AfD, then when Rogerd showed I missed the obvious notability I deleted the AfD, which was also my first deletion, and my first confrontation as an admin with Calton resulted
  • 7 Oct 2005 – First copyvio: Speedballs
  • 02:14, 7 October 2005 – First speedy delete, nominated by CambridgeBayWeather
  • 7 Oct 2005 – Tried out monobook.js
  • 11 Oct 2005 – Created monobook.css to round corners
  • 14 Oct 2005 (blank .js, seems to be slowing me down)
  • 2 Nov 2005 RoyBoy unblocked User:O^O – First incorrect block
  • 3 Nov 2005 – Added tabs to monobook.js for test notices
  • 5 Nov 2005 – Tried the new Test5 template (rv)

Around edit 9,000 I was taking care of the missionary position and then I gotz serious and by 03:07, 1 December 2005 was my 10,000th edit on Talk:Intelligent design. On 15 Dec 2005 I created my Meta account from which I could coordinate the largest most elaborate barnstar template collaboration Wikipedia has ever seen!
