FINAL chat with me, BunnyFlying
You actually bothered to read my blog[s]? I'm seriously flattered, but since I'm getting whiplash from logging on to ridiculous amounts of blog accounts, (and b/c of the suckiness of Bravenet blogs) I am just starting one blog and using tags to figure out the different sets. Please leave comments for me at my homepage's forums or something, at least until I decide which blog I am using as a main thing, since I think, as you so kindly pointed out to me, we should stop using Wikipedia as a social-networking site. Thanks. Unidentified Flying Bunny in the Sky Talk Contribs 21:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Roll Call for WikiProject Artemis Fowl
|
Greetings from the Artemis Fowl Project. Your name is listed on our participants page, but we are unsure of how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the Project's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the Project, please add your name to the active list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the current work. On behalf of the Project, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Happy editing, The Artemis Fowl Project Coordinators'. |

Really Final Comments, I promise! (About Archival)
Thanks for the archival of my talk page-I was going to do it myself, but I couldn't figure it out. Isn't automatic archival of ONE DAY a bit much? Well, do what you like. I got a new email (parents still blissfully unaware): my first name pronounced backwards (divide into syllables and put them backwards) DOT my first name DOT my first name spelled backwards @ gmail.com. Use that to contact me instead of the talk page, and we can stop the whole rigmarole. And I intend to be at Chamber Music tomorrow. Unidentified Flying Bunny in the Sky Talk Contribs 01:30, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
It has been done. Unidentified Flying Bunny in the Sky Talk Contribs 03:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Comment
I was adding a helpful tip to "Teacher", Mr. Calvin.
My teacher is Mr. Holm and he is a great one. You need more examples under teacher, Mr. Holm has one many awards. So please stop being a meanie poo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.175.89.53 (talk) 01:23, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Nice thingy you added to my talk page!
Thanks mate!
What are the pro/cons of the democrat presidential candidates (i.e. Edwards, Clinton and Obama)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blueblister (talk • contribs) 05:37, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
whoa, whoa...
hey! I did not do anything strange to Artemis FOwl: the Time Paradox. Some person had put in some random "gang talk" type thing and I got rid of it since it was outrageously ridiculous!!!! WEll... thanx for fixing it, by the by.

QUESTIONS (urgent)
ResolvedI've been trying to get User:MiszaBot III to auto-archive this talk page, but it doesn't seem to be working. Can someone check and see what the problem is? Thanks. Calvin 1998 (talk) 02:02, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
ResolvedThe scripts for Twinkle and Friendly I have in my monobook.js page don't work. The scripts don't show up. There's no rollback in diff pages, and no additional tabs on the pages. As far as I can tell I have the code right, but can someone look at them? Thanks! Calvin 1998 (talk) 04:10, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- You may have to bypass your browser's cache in order to get the scripts to work. I hope this helps you. VivioFateFan (Talk, Sandbox) 08:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Just as a backup to what VivioFateFan said, that is correct. Try either "ctrl + shift + r" or "ctrl + F5". Pumpmeup 10:08, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- No, bypassing cache didn't work, and I even cleared my cache. No results. I don't have ZoneAlarm or Norton Security, so not that either.
- Try fixing this line "importScript {'User:AzaToth/morebits.js);" to read "importScript('User:AzaToth/morebits.js);" Stwalkerster [ talk ] 22:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, you shouldn't need that line because morebits.js is included in Twinkle. If this hasn't fixed it, remove the "tlx|" from the helpme tag. :)Stwalkerster [ talk ] 22:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Nope, neither Twinkle or Friendly work. Cleared cache, still nothing. And the Friendly page says "importScript" won't let you import the same script twice, so there isn't a problem. Strange. Calvin 1998 (talk) 01:09, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, removing the morebits line seems to have fixed the problem. It's probably what Stwalkerster said on his first comment. Thanks to all of you! Calvin 1998 (talk) 01:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- All we know that could have been a typo. --ジェイ 接触 貢献 ゲストブック 21:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Archives
I've deleted Archive 1, and moved Archive 2 to Archive 1. As moving a page creates a redirect, I've also deleted the redirect from Archive 2 to Archive 1. I think I've done what you wanted, but let me know if not! Regards, BencherliteTalk 22:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
ComputerGuy RfA
Did you have some contact with that editor prior to transcluding his nom? And any reason why you added your oppose, and then came back awhile later and transcluded it? Something seems out of place, so I'd appreciate it if you would explain the circumstances on the nom page. Avruchtalk 21:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- Please don't transclude unless you are the nominee or nominator. Thanks, Majorly (talk) 22:11, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- OK, didn't know. Thanks. Calvin 1998 (talk) 22:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Wow wow wow, hang on. I have delisted this case and removed all trace of the SSP on these 2 users pages, if you read the block message, {{uw-ublock}}, you will see thath the message explicitly states You are encouraged to create a new account and contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. I think this user just had one of the worst welcomes ever on Wikipedia... Please be much more careful before calling people sockpuppets. (I would appreciate if you could drop a line apologizing on his new talk page). -- lucasbfr talk 11:26, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, I thought it was a normal indef-block. But "Thou Shalt Die" isn't much better of a username... Calvin 1998 (talk) 18:15, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Help(again)
ResolvedI need help formatting my user page. I switched the syntax from HTML to wiki-table, and I can't figure out how to get rid of all those borders in the wiki-table (there's borders around everything now). Can someone go through and fix that? Thanks! Calvin 1998 Talk Contribs 05:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- I changed it to what I think you wanted. the "class: wikitable" is just a preset style, so if you don't want that specific style, you don't it. Also, border and cell padding go outside of the style:"" parameter. If you need anything else, let me know! --Evan Seeds (talk)(contrib.) 06:13, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's it. Thanks! Calvin 1998 Talk Contribs 06:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Just fyi, I left some information for this. You begun the peer review so here's some comments. SpencerT♦C 03:36, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Roll Call for WikiProject Artemis Fowl

Greetings from the Artemis Fowl Project. Your name is listed on our participants page, but we continue to be unsure of how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the Project's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the Project, please add your name to the active list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarize yourself with the current work. On behalf of the Project, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you have left, then you will have been gone for at least two months, so your name will be removed from the list, and the list will become a single list of only active editors. If you decide to return, please comment on the talk page. Happy editing, The Artemis Fowl Project Coordinators'. |

Re: finding Tor nodes
Simple. I have Tor installed, so I simply enabled it in Firefox, then kept telling Tor to provide me with a new exit node. Then, every time I got a new node, I went to Special:Mytalk (try this while logged out- it'll just show your username) and checked whether someone had dropped a notice about it being blocked on there. Nwwaew (Talk Page) (Contribs) (E-mail me) 04:38, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
Finding open proxies
There are various ways. The main way I use is to look at the ClueBot portscan or run the port scanners I have, and then use Firefox to connect through the IP as a proxy. Nwwaew (Talk Page) (Contribs) (E-mail me) 01:31, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Proposed change to {{Proxyip2}}
I'm looking for input from recent Wikipedia:WikiProject on open proxies users regarding the above template. your input on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject on open proxies would be appreciated, if you have any preferences regarding the TOR link in the template. SkierRMH (talk) 04:16, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for cleaning up the section I was working on. I wasn't sure how to use one citation multiple times. Will get it right from now on.
Stubs
Please see here [1] that "it is usually desirable to leave two blank lines between the first stub template and whatever precedes it". Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 02:50, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Trivial AWB edits
Hi, Calvin 1998. Thanks for cleaning up articles with AWB, but note that WP:AWB#Rules of use says "Avoid making insignificant or inconsequential edits" such as this one. If the way the article is displayed doesn't change, there's no need to save the edit. Cheers! -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:27, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Don't mean to barge in, but...
The "famouse" spelling actually exists in the Geronimo Stilton books, as is "enormouse." I can tell, because I'm used to reading the books. Therefore, I've reverted, owing to the in-joke factor. (Check my summary) --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 01:38, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Redirect
Hi Calvin,
I am new to Wikipedia. I would like the page that bears my name, after a search of "Greg Snyder", to list my biography. Someone with a similar name to mine, a "Ggreg Snyder" has a redirect on my page to his own biography. That's fine, as long as my info is not deleted and we can both be listed under my name heading. I updated my page before to talk about me, but someone deleted my info and returned it to his redirect heading. How can this be rectified?
Tell me how it works.
Thanks, Greg Snyder —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.57.44.85 (talk) 00:05, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
STS-123 prose
Hi! Thanks very much for your input regarding the structure of the STS-123 article. I have removed the {{prose}} tag you added, even though I agree with you that more use of prose in that article would be a "good thing." The trouble is in finding a way to do that. Do you have any suggestions for how it should be done? If so, let's discuss it at Talk:STS-123! (sdsds - talk) 02:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Vandalism level
- Hey, I saw you just elevated the vandalism level. Is it unusually high at the moment? If so, I will help out. I generally fight vandalism a lot, but have had a break from it recently. Just let me know, and I'll be on hand. Steve Crossin (talk) 18:35, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Artigarvan
That was true, why delete it??
- Isn't it obvious? It was vandalism, therefore I rollbacked it on-sight. Furthermore, when reporting false-positives, you should always provide a link to the article as well as a diff. Calvin 1998 Talk Contribs 00:27, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
hey thanks for telling..me..i'm new to wiki;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rambam94 (talk • contribs) 04:17, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Accusation
Before accusing people of vandalism it is wise to look at the history of the page to see what they added. I clarified a sentence. Do not post on my talk page again. Thanks.--Woland (talk) 18:35, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- With such high vandalism, any minutely suspicious edit gets reverted. However, I will pay better attention. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 18:37, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Re:Ruby Ridge
Please stop trying to say that a 7th grader from California knows ANYTHING about what happened here in Idaho. the truth is thisa what would call a fedral agent shooting a 14 year old boy in the back: a hero? or a Murderer. Also I fail to see that a golden retrever poses much of a threat (unless you count being Licked to death) WE THE CITIZENS OF IDAHO FOUND SUFFICENT CAUSE TO TRY THE **SNIPER** (not Sharpshooter) AS A MURDERER. Pleas stop editing it out! Any future edits must contain the facts -there is no such thing as "being constructive" when the truth is at stake. Although you may not like the truth... LIKEING it Is not required.
- WP:Verifiability - Verifiability, not fact, is the threshold for inclusion into Wikipedia. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 17:59, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Dude.
My edit was completely constructive and correct.
We had a lecture about the film, and I'm POSITIVE that what I posted is correct.
Unless you can find proper reasons for overturning my edit, step off.
Also, I doubt you've evers een the film.
68.83.31.160 (talk) 17:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
- Unless the person who had the lecture also published a peer-reviewed book on it, then WP:VERIFIABILITY applies. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 18:03, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Ruppichteroth
Hi,
the informations in this article were wrong. Caputh is a town in Germany an not in the United Kingdom. I live in Ruppichteroth and I have already been in Caputh, and it was not in England. Moreover you can read in in the german Wikipedia. PS: Sorry for my bad english. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.149.241.3 (talk) 05:36, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- OK. Just looks like vandalism. Redo your edit (unless, of course, Caputh isn't in Germany, in which case don't). Calvin 1998 (t-c) 05:38, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
But why?
Why does my message is deleted? Why?????????
- ALWAYS sign your posts and provide a diff when reporting false positives. Thank you! :> Calvin 1998 (t-c) 00:14, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Re: IRC en-admins entry request
Hi Calvin, I'm a bit confused as to why you're requesting an invitation into the IRC channel (here: [2]). You don't appear to be an admin and you haven't provided any exception or reason as to why you require to have access to the channel. Thanks in advance for your clarifying answer. ScarianCall me Pat 18:03, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- Not much of a reason, just that I report using !admin on the wikipedia-en channel a lot, and I was wondering if I could have access to the admin channel to do that (i don't really care if I don't get access). Calvin 1998 (t-c) 18:49, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, nothing wrong with using !admin on the wiki-en channel. Just make sure it's for a decent reason ;-) ScarianCall me Pat 20:40, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

GA AF
Yes, the review process can take up to 7 days. Million_Moments (talk) 08:20, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Regarding my edit, and your message to me
I admire your desire to keep the "webs" clean, Calvin 1998, but you should read the entire edit, or at the very least skim over the entire edit before you erase it and/or demand sources for a particular text.
In my posted essay on the Henry Oliver Walker Wikipedia page, I have clearly provided a "works cited" portion which explains where I have obtained my information.
Regards, Chad
--Arthistoryguy (talk) 02:28, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- No good, must be paraphrased, and anyhow, cited works go in the "References" section, and we use inline citations. If you need help with this stuff, just ask me. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 02:36, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Calvin 1998. I spent quite a bit of time looking up Wiki policies and learned quite a bit about citation and linking. Could you give the page a once-over and let me know if I've updated it correctly and provided the correct citations? Please let me know if I need to update it. Thanks.

- I agree that the other edits were vandalism, however that one treads a fine line.

I would say "3 or maybe 4" is an understatement! Calvin 1998 (t-c) 03:36, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Its me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:202.7.183.130
Someone is faking to be me. Its because when I leave my ip at the end of a message someone took it and is faking to be me. I'm not lieing, can you please stop this. Half the things this random person said things I don't know about. They also said the "f" word, I'd never say that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.7.183.130 (talk) 09:20, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Bad Revert
This isn't vandalism, the user was trying to help. Please be more careful when using huggle --Chris 03:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- I think it's obvious it's vandalism, schools usually have more than "3 or maybe 4" classrooms, and the IP has an extensive vandalism history. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 03:19, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- I agree that the other edits were vandalism, however that one treads a fine line. If I had been in your position I probably would not have made the revert, but now that I look more closely at the other edits I agree that the edit was made in an attempt to harm the encyclopedia. My Bad --Chris 03:33, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- The diff clearly shows, above his edit, that it has "four science labs, two libraries with more than 20,000 volumes, two dance studios, a ceramics studio, two gymnasiums, several media centers, a 300-seat theater/meeting house, a woodshop, a cafeteria, and roof-top playground, and also two computer labs". I would say "3 or maybe 4" is an understatement! Calvin 1998 (t-c) 03:36, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Calvin 1998. Could you explain what this means? If you're able to identify open proxies through their access methods it can help when it comes to both blocking and unblocking them. Otherwise, without verification they are unlikely to be blocked. Let me know if I can help with your understanding of open proxies. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 18:42, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Never mind, I messed up my settings. If it is an open proxy, it's not on HTTP port 80 or 8080 or 3128, making it unlikely. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 19:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

What are you talking about??? I was fixing vandalism. The IP 76.242.53.75 put Fatass's 2008 season THAT is vandalism. I changed it to 2008 season that is not vandalism. Im not the vandal.(Rhinostampede (talk) 15:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC))
Take a good look at Tony Stewart's page with your edit. Do you notice something different? (Rhinostampede (talk) 15:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC))
- Sorry about that. Next time, please provide diffs so I can see exactly what was going on. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 17:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I made a small edit to the page on "Lipton" correcting the date of when Unilever purchased the Canadian and US branches of Lipton. This user, Calvin 1998 changed my correction and sent me a private message calling me a foul name and questioning the validity of my birth father. I was extremely appalled to see this, and want others to know that this seventh grader is not as nice of a person as he seems to be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.228.14.228 (talk) 22:03, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- Must have been several days ago, then, as I haven't made an edit to the page Lipton in my last 1000 edits. As I have said to the previous 10 people who have come complaining about false positives, provide diffs so I can see what went wrong. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 22:06, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- You? The only edit you've ever made was a vandalism edit to the page Ham as proved by the special page Special:Contributions/96.228.14.228, which doesn't lie. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 22:08, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to User_talk:98.199.135.173 constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thanks. 98.199.135.173 (t-c) 19:41, 24 March 2008 (UTC))

I'd recommend that you dial back the username reports a little bit. Samhascrazyhair (talk · contribs) is not an attack, and WARNING STOP (talk · contribs) is a bit startling, but not outside the guidelines - there's no prohibition on all caps.

Re: 112 vandalisms???!!
Yes, I have been vandalized that many times. This is not surprizing considering that at least 18500 of my ~20000 edits are vandalism reversions and warnings. Several people have asked me why I don't protect my userpages. This is what I told them:
| “ | Yeah, I know I get vandalized a lot. I've considered protecting my userpage, but in my mind, protecting my userpage does two things:
The reason I have all that crap on my userpage is to force vandals to work if they want to vandalize my userpage unobtrusively. Unless you know HTML and wikimarkup fairly well, you will not be able to figure out what is going on with my userpage. So basically, the only thing they can do is blank the page and/or add content that will be obviously out of place. Or they can add stuff to that banner, which I could quote to you in my sleep... |

I see you all the time when I'm on huggle. Keep up the good work! J.delanoygabsadds 15:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

My edit to Turok (2008 game)
Hey there, I would like to ask why my edit was changed. I changed Giganotosaurus to Unknown large theropod because there are no sources stating it is a Giganotosaurus. I think we should keep it as Unknown large theropod until we can find some sources stating it is a Giganotosaurus. 72.133.252.224 (talk) 18:27, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- If it says Gigantosaurus, keep it that way. It's probably correct. And please note: Provide diffs or I cannot investigate the case. ' Calvin 1998 (t-c) 18:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- So if I put in dog food...It would probably be correct? My point is it needs sources to prove it and there are no sources to provide it. 72.133.252.224 (talk) 18:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Usually you'd keep it unless it is either a.)blatant vandalism b.)contentious unsourced information on an article of a living person or c.)obviously incorrect. That information falls under none of these categories, therefore it's best to keep it. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 18:40, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- It fall under c.) obviously incorect. Why? Because its unsourced. 72.133.252.224 (talk) 18:54, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Unsourced ≠ obviously incorrect. By obviously incorrect, I mean if someone put George W. Bush's gender as female. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 18:57, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Alright nm then, as it is. 72.133.252.224 (talk) 19:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Question about how you learned to edit
Hello, I recalled seeing one of your questions on the Help desk, and when I answer a user's question, I often check the user's page to get an idea of the user's editing experience on Wikipedia. In the real world, I often tell adults about the benefits of editing on wikis, but I find many of my fellow old farts are terrified to learn anything new after the age of 25 or so, and for lots of people that was so long ago that they probably cannot remember what learning feels like. Naturally I like to twit them by noting that lots of middle school students are able to figure out how to edit on Wikipedia, and some have even become administrators. I'm curious about how much of Wikipedia you were able to learn just by browsing around the site and reading the friendly manuals. Did you get help from humans in the real world, or did you learn Wikipedia with nothing but your Internet connection? --Teratornis (talk) 07:04, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- I more or less learned all about Wikipedia by following all the links around, learning about policies when I saw a link to one, etc. I never received help from "humans in the real world". Calvin 1998 (t-c) 16:55, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- That's very helpful to know. I also learned to use Wikipedia with no help from humans in the real world (while I have helped several other humans in the real world learn wiki editing), but I am not a good example to illustrate how easy Wikipedia is to get started with, because I've worked with computers for years, and I've used several other markup languages and so on. Someone who fears Wikipedia might think they have no chance without a lot of computer experience, and I can't use myself as a comforting counterexample. It's more convincing to Wikipedia doubters if I can point them to the impressive progress you have made, presumably without decades of computer experience coming in. You might be a genius, but I don't have to tell them that. I'll just go with: "Wikipedia is simple enough for a seventh-grader to figure out with no in-person help." --Teratornis (talk) 21:37, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Much obliged
Thanks. I've permabanned the guy. 23skidoo (talk) 04:07, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Question
You answered my question on Ale jrb's talk page about what is a mainspace edit. Thanks. But do nominating articles for speedy and non-speedy deletion count towards that? Thanks. P. S. I'm also in seventh grade. I think there might have been a Wikiproject for that or something. We and some other kids should get that together again. If you could, reply on my talk page. Thanks. Me what do u want? Your Hancock Please —Preceding comment was added at 23:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC) So that is a yes, right? And do you have any comments on the youth thing. Thanks. Me what do u want? Your Hancock Please 01:00, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- That's a yes. And I'm not really sure about the youth thing, it doesn't really fit the WikiProject requirements. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 01:02, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
posting message
Greetings.
I frequently visit Wikipedia to read about a variety of things. When I hopped on tonight, I had a message from you about a change made to an edit I supposedly did on the 'Maine' page. I am confused. I have never made any changes to ANY pages on Wikipedia. I wouldn't have a clue how and don't feel I'm an authority to comment on anything anyway. As I noticed that my IP address was attached to it, I am concerned. Is is possible someone else could make edits on Wiki from my IP address? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.152.204.245 (talk) 01:13, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
Just to say that I noticed your reversion on my talk page, and to say danke for it. Thanks! Sandy of the CSARs (talk) 02:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Pics
How do I add the stuff in my pictures now?Mattkenn3 (talk) 23:46, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- Go to the image page, click "edit this page", then fill out the "Summary" section. It should look like this:
== Summary ==
{{Information
|Description=
|Source=
|Date=
|Location=
|Author=
|Permission=
|other_versions=
}}
Fill out the form, then save the page. (note- for the permissions section, put a link to the "licensing" section).
Hope this helps! Calvin 1998 (t-c) 23:57, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Unbelievable
ResolvedHello Calvin 1998 - I have just spent half an hour adding stuff to the page on San_Clemente_Abbey in the Abruzzo in order to flesh it out, add further information, correct a mistake and add a link to a whole lot of photos. And you wipe out all this work after one minute saying that it is not useful. Please explain exactly what is not useful and what your qualifications are for saying this because there is not much point in wasting time trying to help Wikipedia if this sort of nonsense is what happens. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.134.85.85 (talk) 06:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- Changing the word "pulpit" to the word "ambo" appears like vandalism. The rollback tool used to remove vandalism reverts all edits made by the revertee. Therefore, all your work was reverted. Sorry 'bout it, I've un-reverted. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 07:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks - fyi an Ambo is used for readings whereas a pulpit is for for preachings (most churches had both) - a medieval distinction which I guess it would be unreasonable to expect 2008 rollback tools to know about! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.134.85.85 (talk) 07:08, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
