Watch List

Thanks. It seems silly that (with all of its modern technology on the computer) Wikipedia cannot accomplish this. Why would some one want to see every single edit (especially in a long article), when they are only interested in one section of that article? (JosephASpadaro 18:00, 4 May 2007 (UTC))

You definitely have a point there. Why not make a suggestion at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical). They might consider this. I don't think it's so much of an problem of it not being possible, but more that they haven't thought about it. Tim.bounceback^{(talk | contribs | ubxen)} 18:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I will do that. I did not know that there was a "suggestion box" (so to speak) here in Wikipedia. Thank you, again (JosephASpadaro 21:12, 4 May 2007 (UTC)).

No problem! Tim.bounceback^{(talk | contribs | ubxen)} 21:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for answering my question

Thanks for the links.--Kk rou ni 23:33, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

No problem, glad I could be of assistance! Tim.bounceback^{(talk | contribs | ubxen)} 23:35, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Do you know this user? Please reply on my talk page as soon as you can. John Reaves (talk) 23:06, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Essjay Check user

The check user on Essjay only brought up one account, Undubt, a new user whom I welcomed. We should contact him, I say. His userpage is kind of creepy too... -Billy227 ^{talk contribs sndbx usbx} 20:43, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Reply soon, please! -Billy227 ^{talk contribs sndbx usbx} 20:44, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I am part of this project too. I shall look into it right away! Ahahaha, it's me, Rahk_EX 20:59, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Maybe I'm missing something here... you ran a checkuser on Essjay?? How? When? Where? I'm not quite understanding what you mean... Tim.bounceback^{(review me! | talk | contribs | ubxen)} 21:01, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

What, something wrong? please elaborate...Ahahaha, it's me, Rahk_EX 21:04, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

How did you do this and what does this have to do with me? It's interesting, don't me wrong, but what does this have to do with me?? Tim.bounceback^{(review me! | talk | contribs | ubxen)} 21:12, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Interesting to note that that username is anagrammed to Ubuntd. Similar to Ubuntu or Ubunut. Ooooh Fear the nut!! This is your talk page, he is talking to you? Can he do that? Ahahaha, it's me, Rahk_EX 21:58, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I am confused. Please explain what is going on. Otherwise, I will close the discussion. Tim.bounceback^{(review me! | talk | contribs | ubxen)} 22:03, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

This discussion is closed - no-one has explained what the heck is going on, so I'm simply going to close it. If you have something to explain, start a new thread, please. Tim.bounceback^{(review me! | talk | contribs | ubxen)} 15:57, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Userpage Modification

I have finished modifying your userpage. If you don't like it, feel free to edit or revert my edits. I would also like some feedback on my talk page, thanks, and enjoy. Ahahaha, it's me, Rahk_EX 23:32, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Keepitfresh

You seem to have put the welcome message on Keepitfresh's userpage, not talkpage. I'll move it as soon as I finish this message. Cool Blue^{talk to me} 19:02, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Oops. Thanks! Tim.bounceback^{(review me! | talk | contribs | ubxen)} 19:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Hacking an account.

I made nothing of the sort - if anyone, it was you. I refuse to take part in such ridiculous discussions. Now it is you who is the one making false accusations. This is getting to the point where it is a personal attack. At first, I simply asked for some credit for your template. Now, however, you simply have exploded, making wild accusations, making random comments on my talk page that I am dismissing as spam (see below). So now, I will follow the second step in the dispute resolution process - disengage for a while. While this is a bit hard to do seeing as it's not an article we are discussing here. However, I'm going to give myself some time to think about this and possible ways we can solve this dispute. Tim.bounceback^{(review me! | talk | contribs | ubxen)} 00:12, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

OK, I've given this a second thought. Obviously, this argument is going nowhere - I can't prove that I wrote the template code, and you can't prove that I threatened anything. What can we do? Oh, and, before I forget, please don't leave large unnecessary templates on my talk page. Tim.bounceback^{(review me! | talk | contribs | ubxen)} 00:21, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Don;t lie. Just admit to your mistake and this can all be resolved. -Billy227, Review my account!! ^{talk contribs sndbx usbx} 14:01, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

You dismissed everything Tim said for you to stop doing. Take time to apologize, Tim did say nothing of the sort. In fact, it was I who joked around with that idea earlier. If you wish for this pointless argument to stop both of you must admit the truth, whether you were telling the truth or not, as nothing can be proved. You are wasting your own time if you continue to lie and change subjects. Don't expect me to comment after this, as I don't want to be dragged into this. Ahahaha, it's me, Rahk_EX 20:42, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I still believe that this is going nowhere, so I'll end it with WP:LAME. The discussion is closed. Tim.bounceback^{(review me! | talk | contribs | ubxen)} 11:31, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion...

May I suggest you remove the <div> on this talk page. It makes reading difficult and doesn't look particularly pleasing. Just a thought! -Billy227, Review my account!! ^{talk contribs sndbx usbx} 20:52, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Considered and rejected. I like how it looks, and please leave your message above the closing div tag. Tim.bounceback^{(review me! | talk | contribs | ubxen)} 20:57, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it does make it harder to read on monitors with lower contrast. I could style it to fit you userpage a little, if you wish. Ahahaha, it's me, Rahk_EX 18:19, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Billy227, how does "<div>" and "</div>" make his talk page hard to edit? I went to edit and BOOM! I found this quite easily and type this contradicting statement very, very easily indeed. I rest my case. KLOWNOX^{My Talk!}Defender of Stuff! 23:44, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Huh?

A:4?[1] I'm sorry, but the Username policy doesn't have the same cool little shortcuts that, say, WP:CSD does, so I have no idea what "A:4" is supposed to be in reference to. Please actually quote the line (or perhaps Wikipedia:Username policy needs to better illustrate what each level is). EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:45, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I actually used a script to help me, but here, this is the one I meant:

“

Promotional usernames that attempt to promote a group or company on Wikipedia, including but not limited to:

Usernames that match the name of a company or group, especially if the user promotes it.
E-mail addresses or web page addresses are generally considered likely to be promotional. Note that for a long time, email addresses were not prohibited.

”

That's from Wikipedia:Username policy. I'm not sure it's the right one, but it seemed the most suitable. Tim.bounceback^{(review me! | talk | contribs | ubxen)} 22:50, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, it's more the fact that several of your reports reference a code that, before now, I'd never seen (A:4, C:1, B:2, etc). It'd greatly help if they were wikilinks (such as G11 being the speedy delete code for spam). EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:57, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm using a modified version of twinkle.js. Have a look here for details. Maybe I'll fix it if I get the chance. Tim.bounceback^{(review me! | talk | contribs | ubxen)} 23:00, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Your monobook.js page

Hi there, are you aware your monobook page appears as a candidate for speedy deletion? Malla nox 00:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

No, I'm not aware, thanks for letting me know - it doesn't look like someone put the speedy tag on it, but could it be because of the script inside it? Tim.bounceback 00:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

FYI, if you have a reference to a category or template that you don't want transcluded, you can put nowiki ... /nowiki around it in comments ... like this:

//<nowiki>

writeln("Some piece of script here that includes {{db-whatever}}");

//</nowiki>

--BigDT 01:12, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

The issue's solved now, I've switched my monobook script back. Regards, Tim^V.B._{{critic & life & speak}} 23:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Your username report

At Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention, you referenced B:1, B:4 as being the rule violated by the name. What are those codes in reference to? Thanks. --BigDT 01:12, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Could you please link a diff? Thanks. Regards, Tim^V.B._{{critic & life & speak}} 23:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

This is the same issue I reported above. Diffs: [2][3][4][5] EVula // talk // ☯ // 02:52, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I was most likely referring to the fact that "it is defamatory to other people or groups". I've since fixed the problem with the script. Tim^V.B._{{critic & speak}} 21:54, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Daytrivia talk page

Please revert again as I must have "blanked" the page unknowingly while you were trying to assist me. Daytrivia 00:03, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean - could you elaborate, please? As far as I know, you only blanked the page once. Thanks. Tim^V.B._{{critic & speak}} 00:31, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I just thought I did it again right before I saw your notice. Daytrivia 16:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you.

I appreciate the revert. That guy vandalizes my user page in order to apologize for vandalizing it yesterday---how does that make sense? This is the 3rd time he's done it too, so I'm a bit skeptical of his apology. At any rate, thanks again. ---Cathal 21:32, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure how that works either... Anyway, no problem :-). Tim^V.B._{{critic & speak}} 21:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot this one time, I usually do. Thanks for letting me know. Tim^V.B._{{critic & speak}} 19:25, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey - Tim, can I borrow the look your userpage? I will alter it from yours but, anyways, can I?

KLOWNOX^{My Talk!}Defender of Stuff! 02:04, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm OK with it, but you might want to ask Rahk EX, as he overhauled it for me. Tim^V.B._{{critic & speak}} 12:03, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Your Userpage

On your Userpage it says your name and your nickname bunched up beside your friends section, I think you should fix it. Just a statment! Ķĺõωйõχ^{Мŷ Ţáĺķ} 23:42, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
