Hi Calvin 1998. As you're listed listed on Wikipedia:Help Page Patrol, I thought you might be interested in a discussion regarding the use of the {{resolved}} template. Editors have argued that it slows the loading time down through the use of graphics in particular, and also it is sometimes incorrectly placed, leaving some editors with an incomplete or incorrect response. Please express your thoughts at Wikipedia talk:Help desk#Recent constant use of the resolved template. Thanks, and keep up the good work. PeterSymonds(talk) 17:13, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 17:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Huggle and rollback
Latest comment: 15 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion
I'm not going to revert again; however, could you please consider the case of my account? I don't have rollback (I've just been autoconfirmed today), but I'm allowed to use all features of Huggle. Gail Wilson (talk) 21:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
That's strange, because looking at the Wikipedia:Huggle/Config, it requires rollback. Actually, I think rollback is only required starting on the next version... I'll revert myself. Calvin 1998(t-c) 21:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
That's bad news :( Maybe I should have just remained quiet... Gail Wilson (talk) 21:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I attempted to explain my rationale on the talk-page before making my edit(s), so would request replies (refutations?) to them be made there (So the discussion isn't split across two(+) pages). 68.39.174.238 (talk) 22:59, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
No, no, you just happened to make a large removal during a vandalism wave... I didn't see your edit summary. It's OK, your edit was fine. Calvin 1998(t-c) 23:01, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
This barnstar is for beating me to multiple (over 8) reverts, while I was using huggle. Keep up the good work. SpencerT♦C 00:21, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! :)Calvin 1998(t-c) 01:39, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
see below Oh, the instructions aren't updated? The latest statusbot clone got blocked by Brion because it had made way too many edits, so we're stuck without the statusbot. You can substitute {{Wikipedia:Highly Active Users/Status|{{User:StatusBot/Status/YOUR USERNAME}}}} with {{User:King of Hearts/Status}}, but you'll have to update your status-subpage with a script like User:Misza13/Scripts#statusChanger. And on a sidenote, the heart in your sig isn't working on my current computer, you might want to use a {{Unicode}} symbol instead of the ASCII symbol to fix that. Calvin 1998(t-c) 02:30, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Oh, I didn't realize they revamped the page again... :P. I believe the WP:HAU/U template still uses the useless statusbot pages, so I suppose you can use the statusChanger to update a User:King of Hearts/Status page, and use something like what I have here so that the HAU template works. I only tested mine once though, so it might not work. Calvin 1998(t-c) 03:32, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! It works now. -- King of♥♦♣ ♠ 04:30, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

hey who are you? and are you important to wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.201.63 (talk) 01:44, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Next time, please either use the link I provided at the top or click the "new section" tab, that makes a new section, which separates discussions and improves readability. To figure out who I am, read my userpage. I am not important to Wikipedia, no. Calvin 1998(t-c) 01:57, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Might I suggest you get yourself a copy of Huggle? Calvin 1998(t-c) 23:11, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Second person in as many days to recommend that to me... I haven't used it, but I imagine it is rather like Twinkle? Which i really did not care for. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 23:13, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Actually, it's its own application, looks like →this. Auto-loads the IRC or Special:Recentchanges feed, shows you the diff, auto-warns the vandal, auto-blocks, and does deletions with a single click. Really fast too :) (to quote WP:WIKISPEAK, it "washes the crack cocain down with a Red Bull" --Calvin 1998(t-c) 23:22, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Well it couldn't hurt to try it I suppose, I always liked doing things the hard way. Maybe Huggle can change that. :D KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 23:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello Calvin. I believe you "incorrectly" reverted this edit. It was a cover for entrenched vandalism. Just an FYI. Nifty talk page set-up, by the way. dfg (talk) 02:03, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Oh.... :-o Well, thanks for finding it. Calvin 1998(t-c) 02:16, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
"Back to Top" Link
Latest comment: 15 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion
Hey i still don't understand what I have to do. I don't code at all so I really don't know what i'm doing. Is there any other feedback you can give me?
Loffles (talk) 20:18, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Uh, yeah. To make the "Back to top" link, (assuming the wiki runs the MediaWiki software), you can code in [[#globalWrapper|Back to top]] wherever you want the link to appear in the text of the page. Like this: Back to the top of this page. If you want the link to automatically appear, then that's more complicated and I'm not sure how to do it. Calvin 1998(t-c) 20:44, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Yeah it looks like my wiki doesn't use MediaWiki software because its not working. 198.169.188.225 (talk) 21:43, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Incorrect reversion
Latest comment: 15 years ago6 comments3 people in discussion
Hello Calvin. I believe you incorrectly reverted [1]. (I removed "abika" spam links ). Please review [2][3]76.109.168.102 (talk) 05:42, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
I still don't understand why you changed the link - if it's blatant spam, remove it. But since it's a link to the website of the subject, it should be kept (I do agree, however, that the page should be deleted). Calvin 1998(t-c) 05:48, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
I did not remove the links because I believe that it would be useless since the article will be deleted soon, but in the mean while, I did not want to boost the spammers SEO stats by linking to the site from wikipedia. 76.109.168.102 (talk) 05:50, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Seems like the page is already deleted. Could you explain here, MaxSem? Calvin 1998(t-c) 16:50, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
My comment for reverting him was "if this article will be deleted, the links will be gone with it. if it will be kept, these links are valid". MaxSem(Han shot first!) 16:54, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception
Latest comment: 15 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion
I noted that a while ago on my talk-page, you told me that I should try to make the Opal summary as short as the one in Artemis Fowl (novel). After a little more cutting, I wanted to ask if the current length was about right, or if I should pull it down some more. I'm also curious about the intro--I started working on it, modeling it after the Artemis Fowl (novel) one and other GA book articles in the same-ish genre--what, generally, should I put there? Thanks, IceUnshattered (talk) 23:36, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Well, it does still seem a little long, in my opinion, what's exactly happening in the plot isn't really important, just a general overview is OK (but that's my opinion). As for the intro, I think we should follow the general rule of making the intro a general overview of the rest of the page - so you should put a little bit of each of the sections into the intro. I might help out a bit if I get time... Calvin 1998(t-c) 02:17, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Ok, that seems logical. I'll see what I can still cut down. Thanks for your advice. IceUnshattered (talk) 21:31, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Calvin. I'm really sorry to have interfered with your userpage, but I removed some personal info from the above page, and its page history. The reason I did that was because I'm concerned that divulging that information could compromise your safety. I also removed a number of revisions of your main userpage for the same reason. Really sorry about that, but I felt it necessary to do this - Alison❤ 22:34, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so so much for stopping vandalism! I was reading a Ryan Cabrera article and some poor soul who has not rejoiced to Jesus described him in an awful way. (They said Ryan looked like Jesus) I know that is sort of true, but it is not cool. It may not have been you that took it down, but I was wondering if your name is really Ryan Cabrera or Ryan C. Crest? I was wondering if you, with your book smarts, might know what the word "byark" means? I heard Tim Allen say it in a movie. It was Shaggy Dog, as I now remember. Robert Downey Jr. played that dashing Dr. Kozak. Have you scene the part where he sticks his tongue out and gets a tail at the end? Talk about your evening funnies! Oh, I am sorry if I ruined the ending for you. Well, anyways, thank you for patrolling the halls of WikiWorld and keeping us safe!
Love,
Rafail
P.S. Do you believe in telepathy? I read on here that there are these two girls that can do it. Color me surprised! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aslan1212 (talk • contribs) 04:25, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
