"SPP"

That's no news, and if stuff gets vandalized over that and I can't revert it, that's not my problem. 68.39.174.238 01:59, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, It is me 71.128.20.238 . It would be sweet of you if you could please refrain from editing my talk page. Thank you. Love, 71.128.20.238 22:15, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

RE:monobook.js

Its javascript and I dont know much javascript, the things I can do are from experience in programing in other programing languages. --A dam1213 Talk + 08:03, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure if I can be of much help, since I haven't figured out completely how the javascript works. But you could ask OwenX (who has something like what you want in his user script) or Lupin (who knows very well how javascript works) for help. Tito xd^{(?!? - help us)} 00:06, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Doctor Breen

My rollback hates me. Nufy8 17:46, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I groan every time I have to revert using the standard method :). Nufy8 17:51, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Speaking of admin, you seem like you might be ready to be nominated. That is, unless, you have some dark, terrible edit history that I am unaware of. I'm kind of too lazy to check for myself at the moment, to be honest. Nufy8 18:01, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, I'm sure if you were on good terms, it won't be a problem. Anyway, let me know when you think you're ready to be nominated, if you want. Nufy8 18:19, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: monobook.js

Could you help me with my monobook.js file? I want to add a tab to send the test-n messages(or my personal vandal messages), but I can't get it to work. Thanks,

Prodego ^talk 00:11, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I checked some of your attempts to add vandal-handling tools to your monobook scripts. If you are not fluent in Javascript, I think your best bet is to simply copy all of my scripts, and then carefully remove the parts you don't need, making sure it still works after each change. I think my system of a separate button for each type of warning is more efficient than the template you are trying to create. Give it a try, and if you need help tweeking it, give me a shout. Owen× ☎ 00:23, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

No probelm. Once you are done putting the popups back in, let me know and I'll try to fix things for you. Owen× ☎ 00:33, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

OK, try the new scripts and let me know if they compile and work. Owen× ☎ 00:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Done. The warning system works best with a diff. When you open a diff page such as this, you click the "Warn" tab on top, and you get the vandal's contribution list, and his Talk page. If then you click "Header" it puts the name of the article he vandalized in the header. Owen× ☎ 00:54, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I commented out the contrib window (un-comment it if you want it back). The best for you would be to have the previous version of the article opened for you in edit mode already. However, that would take more work. Right now what you can do is before you click the "Warn" button, right-click the left-side header to open that manually in another window where you can do the manual revert. And once you become an admin, you can use the full set of tools. :) Owen× ☎ 01:06, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I know about the "rollback privileges" feature, and have been campaigning to give the feature to any non-vandal with a bit of experience. Too bad nothing has been done about it... But you shouldn't settle for that now; you should be ready for adminship pretty soon, if not already now. Owen× ☎ 01:15, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I came to ask if you'd head of the "Godmode light" pseudo-rollback, as it might give you that little taste of supreme power that you're looking for. (Probably not recomended if you're on dial-up, I hear.) - brenneman ^(t)^(c) 02:19, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

re: Performance review

I'd definitely support an RfA for you. It looks like you've done lots of very good work, and judging by your edit history you look like an excellent vandal fighter. My only worry is that you haven't got that many edits in the article namespace. Contributing actual content into the encyclopaedia is not really important for admins (since it's more of a janitor-kind of job) but I'd suggest you make a section on your userpage where you tell people about any major contributions you might have made to articles (in my opinion, if you haven't been doing that it's not a problem, but I've seen RfAs fail because the user lacked activity in the article namespace).

I had a look at your argument with Purplefeltangel (talk · contribs), but it didn't look like anything that would stop you from being made an admin. Everyone has the occasional misunderstanding (especially new users), and you don't seem to have had any trouble after that. I think you'd make a fine admin.

When you get nominated, you might want to drop a note on my talk page so that I can support you (I don't follow RfA very closely). - ulayiti (talk) 18:17, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Forgive me for intruding but I think you would make a great admin now, in fact I thought you already were one. I won't nominate you though, I should leave that honour to the two people who got here before me (in the past two days!). Also would you mind adding your support to Wikipedia talk:Requests for rollback privileges, I've decided to make it my pet project to get this off the ground. the wub "?!" ^{RFR - a good idea?} 21:49, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I'm a few days late on this thread, but I came here after seeing some of your work at WP:AN/I to find out a bit more about you with a view to nominating you for adminship. I agree with The wub that you deserve it now, but I too will leave the honour to those that got there before me (unless I get impatient first!). Drop me a note on my talk page when you do get nominated so I don't miss the big event. Thryduulf 13:31, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Setting up sock puppets months in advance

On Selina Kyle's talk page, I noticed that you asked who would set up sock puppet accounts months in advance. The answer is simple: Trolls. It's a very common practice among those who get their jollies out of disrupting things to set up socks well in advance so that they can resume activities without interruption if they're banned.

Hide / Show buttons

Those are used to hide AfDs which have already been closed. This is especially useful for admins trying to reduce the backlog, but even for non-admins it's useful if you visit older AfD pages. Owen× ☎ 01:19, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
