Two questions, how do you nominate a page for a featured article, and how do you make an all about me thing here?

For Feature articles nominations, go to WP:FAC. To create an "All about me" page, just edit your user page, at User:Crad0010, and add what you like. Pepsidrinka 23:05, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello Crad. The boxes you are looking for are called Userboxes and there are many of them. Please take as many as you like and put them on your user page. --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 02:44, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Crad?

Sorry to bother you on this talk page of yours but having seen your vote on WikiEthics, I couldn't help but notice your name "Crad0010". Are you aware of what connotations the word 'crad' has in French? You might want to see and search for the word 'crad' on the article to gain an idea. Netscott 02:31, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Very mature, you little son of a... Connotations, sheesh. Crad0010 02:45, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

All right, you don't talk to me about those kinds of things. I wasn't using Crad in any form like that. I was only using it as a shortened variation of Comrade. How did you just happen to stumble on that particular page, huh? Frenchies. Crad0010 02:43, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

• No...I realize that the user name you chose has nothing to do with that but having read your opinion in the vote I just thought that you might like to know how some individuals might percieve such a vote with a name like that (total irony) .... sorry if my directing you to that page caused you any offense... but it was the best wiki page I could find to illustrate what I was talking about. Netscott 02:48, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

• Me no thinks that not too many people would want to think a guy who was American and completely sober at the time would want to pick a name meaning that. Have you seen my Userboxes? Crad0010 02:51, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

• How un-civil! "Possible Enemies"? LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! Please if my comments here have offended you, by all means delete them. *still lauging*... LOL!! Netscott 02:54, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

• I've updated your User:Crad0010 user page... that is soooo funny... I've never made someone's "list" like that... I suspect that your "list" contravenes a number of WikiPedia policies but at this point I find it so amusing (and I want to send some fellow editors to it :-) that I'm not planning on doing anything! ;-) Netscott 03:08, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

• "Enemies List" how Nixonesque... Thank you Crad0010 for a really great laugh!!!! Netscott 03:22, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Polite request

Wikipedians have got into trouble before for keeping lists of other Wikipedians they do not like in their user space. I would like to request you not to do this, because it tends to create a negative and poisoned atmosphere among users when we should all be working together in the interests of writing an encyclopaedia.

If you do have serious concerns about another user's editing, then there are ways of trying to resolve disputes and of bringing that concern to the attention of the rest of the community. David | Talk 12:48, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

David, I appreciate this post you've made but I honestly think that User:Crad0010 made that list as a 'joke' and it was anything but serious... honestly. With that said it will be come clearer when User:Crad0010 has a chance to respond. Netscott 12:58, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, with this, I bet I should take you off my list, eh? Yes, it was all a joke. You didn't read my disclaimer? Ah, well. Should have put it more bluntly. Nevertheless, I shall remove it and we'll all be good. Crad0010 20:43, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

• LOL!!!!!!!! I can't tell you how much you made my day (I'm am seriously busting up laughing even as I type this!!!)...for now please do not erase that! (unless you want to of course)... Oh, I haven't laughed so good like that in awhile! Thanks so much!!! Netscott 22:11, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

• Not sure if you've seen it, but your User page caused a bit of a debate. You might like to comment on that debate (now deleted) on User_talk:Irishpunktom. Do know however that Irishpunktom has a bit of a history with a number of editors and this whole affair just demonstrates once again why this is so. (My cheeks are red from laughter.) Netscott 22:22, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Good ole Sam Hill

Here's a brief explanation: It appears that User:Irishpunktom is under the very false notion that I'm out to "get" muslims/Islam. My Islam and muslim article centric editing tendencies were spawned with the whole Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy (with that article in particular). A number of editors on that article (and now I realize a great number of others) had the nasty habit of editing in very heavy POV into these articles (both in support of Islam and Muslims and against). My habit has been and is to instill true NPOV in these articles. Well some of these editors who have the habit of editing in this way are User:Rgulerdem, User:Raphael1 and User:Irishpunktom. Judging by his behavior Irishpunktom in particular seems to have taken my edits to mean that I'm anti-Islam which couldn't be further from the truth and so when I edited your User page he was under the very mistaken impression that my edits were not done in good faith and decided to revert them. I took issue with his lack of civility in how he handled the situation and the result is the above "debate". Imho, Irishpunktom should abide by this WikiMedia Policy and assume good faith more often before he is subject to WikiPedia censure. Netscott 00:53, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

So, what you're saying is, if I didn't put out that userbox saying I was Islamic, this whole thing could have been avoided? Crad0010 01:26, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

• Yes, what brought all of this upon you was Resid Gulerdem's posting of his Wikiethics spam on your user talk page which you responded to by voting in the "Approval Poll". He posted his poll spam on your page because you're listed as a muslim on Category:Muslim_Wikipedians. Understand better now? :-) Netscott 01:33, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

• Netscott cannot edits others userpages .. no-one can, its vandalism - its not that hard to grasp!! --Irishpunktom\^talk 10:27, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

• See what I mean? User:Irishpunktom is good at making asinine statements/edits/etc. In fact as spelled out on this Wikipedia Guideline there is no specific rule saying that one cannont edit another's User page, it is merely a convention. Once again Irishpunktom, assume good faith and follow this. Sorry Crad0010, that you've been dragged into this. I'll not respond further on your User_talk page if you explain that you'd rather I didn't. Netscott 12:21, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

• Can you count the amount of times Netscott has used the word "asinine" during his short Wikipedia career.. and this inherent need of his to repetitvely reuse the same word extends to others - See what "Netscott words" you can find! He claimed to be a bastian of civility, chastising others for their lack of it, and goes around calling people "idiot", "mentally challanged" and now hes started calling people dicks - nice. --Irishpunktom\^talk 12:36, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

• Out of respect for you Crad0010, I've taken this "debate" over to Irishpunktom's talk page. Sorry to have disturbed your talk page. Netscott 13:05, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Reputation System Idea

That is virtually in effect now with WikiPedia Requests for Adminship although the big difference is that "reputations" tend to be determined through consensus. What were you thinking in terms of systematically establishing reputations? I must admit that such a concept seems a bit difficult to envision... try asking yourself this question, "How could I systematically (and with genuine neutrality) establish friendships?". I'm curious to hear your ideas though. I must again tell you what a great 'experience' it was to have interacted with you relative to Irishpunktom... I still laugh when I think about the whole affair. Netscott 02:33, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

• Crad0010, unfortunately you've caught me a slightly inoppotune moment, as I'm about to leave for Turkey to witness the Total Solar Eclipse on Wednesday. I should be back at the the end of the week and will probably be able to give your ideas the proper attention they deserve. see ya then ;-) Netscott 03:07, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

• Sorry I neglected to mention one thing, if you feel as though Resid's spam was manipulative you can strike your vote on the "Approval Poll" over at Wikiethics... just put an <s> at the start of your vote and a </s> at the end. If you do that make sure to specify why you've done so in a comment next to your "struck" vote. Netscott 03:43, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Troop 70

The article had been tagged for proposed deletion for the requisite five days. I was merely quoting the reason given by the person who put the original PROD tag up. The problem was, the article as written was an essay in first person; essays are not permitted on Wikipedia. By all means, write another article, if the troop is notable. If you want, I can email/post you the deleted content, so you can glean what you might from it. ♠PMC♠ 07:53, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Kawoosh

There is no Ori mothership lost in the battle of P3Y-229, the Ori mothership is destroyed in "The Pegasus Project", the battle has ended then. Matthew

A little help here?

{{helpme}}

Just curious, how do I nominate an article for deletion?

• WP:AFD describes all the steps. Scroll down to "How to list pages for deletion" and follow the three steps to list your article for deletion! :) --Strangerer (Talk) 21:15, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Bot problems

{{helpme}}

• How do I report a bot that's been SPAMming WP along w/ its user?

• Where can I get more info on bots?

Crad0010 22:18, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

What is the bot? What is it doing? You can read about bots at WP:BOT.- Rjd0060 22:20, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

If you are talking about this edit, that isn't vandalism. The bot is categorizing the page. The reason it looks weird is because the bot is adding it to a foreign language category. - Rjd0060 22:28, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Given that this was that users only edit, and that edit was made on September 26, a block probably isn't necessary. You can review the Blocking Policy. Hope this helps. If not, feel free to leave more questions on my talk page. - Rjd0060 22:41, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
