:No problem at all. I personally feel that {{user|Wankash}} is just a confused newbie trying to make a [[WP:POINT]]. It's clearly not appropriate for him to do that, but I wouldn't call it vandalism just yet.

==[[Elvis Presley]]== |

I think we should remove the section "Mama's Boy" from the Elvis Presley page. There is no credible source to suggest that Presley had sex with his mother. No reputable biographer as ever made that statement and the user (Onefortyone) who is pushing the change has a history of citing to questionable sources, purposefully misinterpreting secondary sources, and overtly pushing his own agenda on the Presley page. I think we need significant evidence before we accuse someone, in an encyclopedia no less, of incest. |

I have added a description for Mirador Instant Messenger since it is a server based instant messenger solution if i need to edit portion of the text then i will do it but there are descriptions for sametime live server etc so what should i do exactly to keep the listing —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Upswing (talk • contribs) 02:01, 20 July 2024 UTC [refresh].
- Why even bother re-creating the article? If it is obviously an advertisement, and will just end up at AfD again, shouldn't WP:SNOW be considered? --Hetar 06:05, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm ... I tend to disagree. 23.100 hits on Google means it has at least some notability; I feel the writing wasn't particularly encyclopedic, but it has a lot of room to improve. I certainly don't think that WP:SNOW would come into the question, but let's give the article some time and see where it's at in a week or so. If it hasn't improved then I will personally nominate it for AfD. AmiDaniel (Talk) 07:42, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Moderator offer
I'd love to be a moderator; however, if turning me into one causes too much stress and work, then I'd rather you don't for your sake. But if there is an opening, sure! P.S. Also, I like the edit summaries; especially the Rammstein. :P _-M o P-_ 06:03, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- And I noticed that my Awards page has been going around a bit. Nice to see that my evil plan for world domination on Wikipedia is working. >:) _-M

Note: These were posted above, but I think you missed them as they were hidden away.
- Ahh ... sorry. I really need to get better at checking to see if more than one message has been posted for me lol. I forgot to add you to the mods. Let me do that in a sec, and it's no trouble at all. Oh, and I hope you don't mind, but I rearranged and modified the userbox you put on my userpage--it gave me a whole new row of boxes! lol AmiDaniel (Talk) 06:13, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, it isn't any problem at all :) And just a question, do we get a manual? As if we do, I'd like to read it so I know what my tasks are. However, I should go sleep soon; good night, and thanks! :) _-M
oP-_ 06:21, 25 April 2006 (UTC)- Ditto here... I don't think I have been added either... sorry!!!Eagle (talk) (desk) 06:23, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

(carriage return), yeah, thats another bug... The solution for me was to 1) go to file>startpage or 2) exit the program and reopen.
- I get that every once in a while too, but I simply log back in... I really forgot to report that... :-(... don't kill me.Eagle (talk) (desk) 07:05, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- I reloaded Monobook twice outside of Vandalproof and inside it; exited and reopened 3 times; still no change. _-M
oP-_ 07:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)- Uh, are you logged in??? and have you hit "update???". Else, you have a bug, and it needs to go on the bug page... Problem is that this program is not written in my primary language... I get the "gist" but the specifics, I can't help beyond recognizing patterns and bugs that I have had... such as the timers misfiring:-).(also because I don't have source code just a reason, not a request... sorry AmiDaniel:-))Eagle (talk) (desk) 07:17, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- I'm really sorry, but I am dead tired right now. I'll have to deal with this tomorrow--you can leave it here or add it to the bugs page. Good news is that I, more or less, finished the stub sorter. Parsing the fucking data from Wikipedia:Stub types into the tree was an absolute bitch (why does MS have to make all of their controls so goddamn complicated and illogical! and hasn't anyone on Wikipedia considered a table as opposed to a bunch of bullet points mixed in with random and irrelevant text when organizing 1962 various categories of stubs?!?!?!?!?!) But I'm done bitching now ... sorry, insomnia's catching up to me. Anyway, I'll do my best to get back to you (both) tomorrow. Sorry. AmiDaniel (Talk) 07:36, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

No worries, if you think it can be kept as notable I have no problems whatsoever with it, its cleaned up a fair bit and not exactly G4. -- Tawker 06:05, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks for your understanding. I'll check back on it in a couple days to see what shape it's in, as I feel this may just be a new user with good intentions who's editing at a slower-than-veteran rate. AmiDaniel (Talk) 06:10, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Next version
Sorry to ask, but it would be nice to have the next version, as least the bug fixes... that way I can dump about 3 more bugs on you!!! Eagle (talk) (desk) 07:35, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

AmiDaniel: the edge hippies article is straight vanity/OR/nonsense. I am putting it on VFD AFD and taking off the merge tags. This merge suggestion will just start a furore among sXe people who are unfamiliar with Wikipedia protocol, and will involve far more expenditure of energy than can be justified for some kid's narcissistic little project. Mgekelly - Talk 08:02, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
- Hey, I apologize about the Egdge hippies → Straight edge merger. I was just on my way to bed when I came across that article, and my first instinct was to speedy it but instead, for some odd reason, decided to propose a merger. Afterward, I looked into the topic a bit more, and it only returns something like 30 hits on Google, so I do definitely think it falls under WP:CSD. I totally agree that this kind of article should not be encouraged, and so I'll go vote to delete now. Thanks for your message, and again I apologize for the inconvenience. AmiDaniel (Talk) 17:06, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
- That's completely cool. It is really nice to encounter a Wikipedian who is so reasonable! Mgekelly - Talk 00:26, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Moderators
So that is how you set the Mods! I assume it only works when you do it?
Prodego talk 00:30, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yep, it only works when I do it. I don't do it that way to be dictatorial; I'm just a lazy programmer :-p. lol. AmiDaniel (Talk) 02:18, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Actually, I don't think it would not be smart to let other users add moderators, especially if it were the mods who could do it, because then one person could... Prodego talk 02:24, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- By the way, if it is the length of the summary that is the restriction on the number of Mods, you still have 70 characters left (edit summaries hold 200), so you can probably add a few more if you want. Prodego talk 02:29, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
More from John
Ami,
Got your message. Very sorry about the mess and apologize for not taking the time to read up on how this works. I am now begining to get a better understanding of this wikipedia process and hope I did not create too much work for you. Just saw all the warnings earlier and deleted them. Another mistake. On a roll today.
Best regards,
John —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Johnlekay (talk • contribs) .
- It's no problem at all--lots of respected users got off to fairly rough starts. In the future could you please sign your posts with four tildes, like so: ~~~~. That will produce your username and the time, and it makes it a lot easier for others to contact you. Again, I'm always here to help and will gladly provide any assistance you need, including answering questions you may have about policies and the way things work on Wikipedia. Good luck in the future, and I hope you'll soon learn the ropes and will be able to effectively contribute. Happy hunting! AmiDaniel (Talk) 02:14, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Page blanking
Hmm... I do know at that time I started up Vandalproof, but it kinda froze on me, so I used Alt+Ctrl+Delete to forcibly kill it. I can't remember making any edits to that page, and the summary is wierd, so I think it may be a bug. _-M o P-_ 02:36, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me. I belive the Heyoka translation could use more work.

i was just wondering why it is such a big deal and an opposing inconvenience to delete the edge hippies. i dont believe anyone has the right to call someone a sock puppet, as an insult. are the edge hippies discriminative in any possible way? (Talk) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Merchantofvenice (talk • contribs) .
- It has nothing to do with whether the group insults anyone; it has to do with the fact that the movement is non-notable. A search returns 30 hits on Google, none of which are reliable sources and many of which have nothing to do with the movement itself. If you can find a reputable source to support the notability of the movement, it would likely sway many to your side. Frankly, I believe the article should have been speedily deleted, but in the interest of not insulting its creator (you) I did not tag it as such, which I've now recognized as a mistake. My tagging of these 3 accounts as sock puppets was not meant as an insult but rather as an attempt to prevent potential "ballot stuffing." You've created these accounts in an attempt to convice others that more individuals support the article's inclusion than actually do. Based upon the user creation log and the users' contributions, there is little doubt in my mind that these accounts are indeed sockpuppets, but if they are not sockpuppets then please substantiate your claim by requesting a CheckUser.

Ami,
Please take a look at the heyoka discusion page. I worked on the Heyoka page some more.
I moved the Bean bag and heyoka magazine underneith the important text. The national park man had it wrong. He should look at this national park. www.silkwoodproject.com
He will learn something very important most people have no clue about. Johnlekay 04:48, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Evil Grey
I was just wondering if you could shed some light on my problem; I'm forced to use VandalProof without any of the cool features, because for some wierd reason, the "Revert/warn" buttons are always greyed out. When a page loads, first the I.E. error thing flashes up, then the buttons flash from grey to black and back. I'm not sure how to correct this (have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times). _-M o P-_ 06:25, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- Did this begin happening before I after I made you a moderator? It seems as though you've had a few difficulties since then, thus my question. AmiDaniel (Talk) 06:45, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- I believe it was happenening before, yes. _-M o P-_ 06:55, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm ... are you also getting IE script errors frequently when VP loads pages (this should hopefully be fixed in the next version). I posted a temporary fix for this on the bugs page that might help here. Are you still able to use the tabs--recent changes, watchlist, etc.? AmiDaniel (Talk) 06:58, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- I can use everything except the rollback buttons at the top when viewing a diff, and these are the main method of reverting vandalism. And yes, I do get the annoying popup error thing, but I downloaded your application that kills it. _-M o P-_ 07:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Disregard my e-mail request
Hi, I haven't seen you have tests, or else I wouldn't have bothered you. Either way, I managed to salvage the bulk of my black list through my vandalism log, and VandalProof works fine after re-installing. Good luck with your exam! --Chodorkovskiy (talk) 06:42, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- No problem at all. I'm not on Wikibreak yet--starting this weekend (you can thank the collegeboard! lol). Anyway, I'm a little confused as this is the first I've heard of your problem. I'm glad you got it fixed, whatever it was though. AmiDaniel (Talk) 06:48, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- I sent you an e-mail yerstaday, asking for you to send me your black list, since I accidentally deleted mine. Maybe there was a glitch in Wikipedia. --Chodorkovskiy (talk) 06:53, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry. My junk mail filter weeds out every message from people not on my safe list. I hope others haven't tried to email me and not gotten any response; maybe I should put a note about that here. Anyway, glad you got it sorted out--The next version of VP will have global whitelists/blacklists, which I think will be an excellent boost to the tool's functionality.

Re: delete please
To continue User_talk:AmiDaniel/Archive3#delete_please...
I didn't know about {{db-author}}, I've always used {{delete}}. I learn something new (almost) every day!
and now for something completely different...
I'm not doing much VandalProof stuff (since it keeps giving me script errors and not acknowledging my sign-in), but I've also had troubles with IE so I've deleted the IE .exe until I can resolve the issue (which isn't VandalProof) but I'll moderate the pages/requests for now and if there's anything you need, just let me know.

- Thanks for the cookies and the kitty! I actually should be in bed right now, but instead I'm reorganizing my new CDs (I have a serious addiction to new CDs... keep me away from the record store!) Today I bought:
- The Cure by Atreyu → Soooo emocore, but actually not that bad
- War Within → I've seen Shadows Fall live, met them, and have an autographed poster hanging in my room, but this is the first of their CDs I've bought lol.
- Two by Earshot → Not the best ever, but decent.
- and L.A. Woman → Who doesn't love The Doors?
- Anyway more than you wanted to know lol ... so sleepy. But yeah, I'm sorry about your problems with VP; I think I've got the script errors cured in the next release, though the temp fix on the bugs page might help for now. It will likely be a while before I get 1.2 ready for download, but I am working on it. Thanks again. AmiDaniel (Talk) 07:46, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Yeah, I know of the bug fix and have it here. Something on my system is making MSIE connect to random ports on IP 1.2.3.4 (all spyware programs I have report nothing), so yeah..I deleted MSIE for now.
Enjoy your Wikibreak!
Enjoy your break Daniel, I have just returned from one myself (in case you were wondering why I've been so quiet!) Will hold the reigns in your absense. Have a great one! - Glen TC (Stollery) 09:53, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
