Urgent

Applying a speedy tag to one of your pages has cascaded into dozens of others - look at CAT:CSD. Find out which page you actually want deleted and put <noinclude></noinclude> around the speedy tag. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:16, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

I forgot that a page that I wanted deleted had subpages and Twinkle was just being smart and tagged them all for deletion. Anyways all those pages were deleted when I went to fix the problem. Jamison^Guestbook_Userboxes 09:21, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made to user talk:Jim1138 has been reverted or removed because it was a misuse of a warning or blocking template. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thank you. If this was reverting vandalism, please be more careful who you blame for it. In particular, don't restore the vandalism you claim you're fixing. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:15, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

I checked the history for User:Jim1138 and I have not changed it. I have posted warnings on his talk page via WP:STiki. Please explain this. Jamison^Guestbook_Userboxes 10:26, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

. sorry user talk:Jim1138 Andy Dingley (talk) 10:41, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

What did I do that was problematic. I have two warnings on the page. Jamison^Guestbook_Userboxes 10:49, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

They were inappropriate warnings. Jim removed the vandalism, but you restored it again and warned them as if they were the vandal. Please be more careful with the tools you're using - and I would suggest removing the warnings, with an apology. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:10, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Jamison Lofthouse. You have new messages at Boing! said Zebedee's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Take care with tools

This edit to Republic of Manitobah is a bit worrying. Initially I thought that you had just been beaten to the reversion of the actual instance of silly vandalism and therefore accidentally reverted the wrong version; however your edit was 6 hours later, making this a bit unlikely. Please take care when using automated/semi-automated tools such as STiki as many automatically warn editors about vandalism. I suggest that you self-revert the warning that was placed at User talk:Isarra. --Mrmatiko (talk) 14:26, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Alright, I fixed everything. But maybe you can help me. I am very new to STiki. I am enrolling into the CVU Academy to learn how to use it but I am still waiting for an answer. While I am waiting I wanted to try it and I went for a few test rounds and you are the third complaint that I have received. In STiki I saw a vandalism edit and I clicked vandalism (undo) button and their was no message, no conformation, no info at all. So I got very confused. Then I find out that I was bringing back the vandalism not removing it but in STiki it looked like it was removing it. Let me explain why I thought it was removing it. First STiki showed me what the page looked like before. Then it showed me what the editor vandalized. It then asked me if I wanted to undo this and I let it. Please get me out of this. Jamison^Guestbook_Userboxes 15:06, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

I don't use anti-vandalism related semi-automated tools and I personally dislike STiki in particular because it seems to turn anti-vandalism work in to a numbers based competition. I guess that the best place to get help is The talk page of STiki. --Mrmatiko (talk) 15:21, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

• Mrmatiko doesnt Stiki leaderboard clearly say in block that this is not a competition ? --ÐℬigXЯaɣ 06:13, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

OK. I think I'll wait until I have training in semi-automated tools. Until then I'll fix all my mistakes and revert vandalism with Twinkle. At least with Twinkle I have full control over everything. Thanks. Jamison^Guestbook_Userboxes 15:33, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

You did the same thing to me at Prayer wheel. Just thought I'd let you know. Calvin 1998 ^(t·c) 16:00, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

The STiki diff display is the exact same as the Wikipedia standard diff display in regard to which side is which - the old version is on the left, the new version is on the right. If you hit "vandalism", it'll revert the page from the new version to the old version, and (possibly) template-warn the user who made the change(s) that took the page from the old version to the new version.

• Please consider joining the Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit/Academy its strongly recommended to do so to get proper guidance --ÐℬigXЯaɣ 06:15, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Also please note that --ÐℬigXЯaɣ 06:28, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

I apologize everbody. I am joining the CVU Academy but I'm still waiting to enroll. Right now I am self blocking myself from editing till I have recieved proper training. I apologize. Jamison^Guestbook_Userboxes 11:32, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Signature

Is it possible that you could make your signature less confusing? E.g., can you consider removing the text shadow, and changing the code so that Jami and son don't link to two different places?--yutsi ^Talk/ Contributions 18:00, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Is this good? Jamison^Talk_Guestbook^Userboxes 09:43, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes, that's much better. Thanks!—Yutsi ^Talk/ Contributions ( 偉特 ) 16:01, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Although, you need to make it Talk instead of Talk, as the talk page link is currently dead right now. :)—Yutsi ^Talk/ Contributions ( 偉特 ) 16:04, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

I thought that too but you're on my talk page so the link is dead. I bet on your talk page your signature link would be dead also. Go here and scroll to the near bottom and look for Penyulap's signature. His name is broken because you are on his userpage, the page that the link would link to if you weren't already on the page. Also go here and you'll see that the link is not dead. Jamison^Talk_Guestbook^Userboxes 17:18, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Ah. I learn something new every day!—Yutsi ^Talk/ Contributions ( 偉特 ) 17:31, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
