VG Newsletter

Your bot gave me the VG Newsletter for August 2008 two times! But, I haven't been on wikipedia fo a while so, can I delete your bots post, or should I leave it? Thx, --TONO459 (talk) 16:57, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

we actually changed the way it's dated, so that's actually two different newsletters. but you can feel free to remove them from your talk page whenever you like =) –xeno (talk) 20:37, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Status display

Hi Xeno! Cameron forwarded me to you as I had a question about displaying my current online/offline status. how do i get it up and running ona page like CVU?I see you have on at the top of your talk page too. How!? Thanks. Wiki Roxor (talk) 15:36, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Create Special:Mypage/Status with the word "online". Then add {{statustop}} to the top of your userpage(s). By importing the following script into your Special:Mypage/monobook.js, and refreshing your cache, you will find buttons along the top of your screen for "online" "busy" "around" and "offline" that will update your status page automagically:

importScript('User:Xenocidic/statusChanger2.js');

let me know if you need further help on this. –xeno (talk) 16:21, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch!!! Wiki Roxor (talk) 17:24, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Subpages

Hello, sir. I saw your note of Scepia's page to leave messages for him here. I need his to create a subpage for {{User:Scepia/cvg-N}} (that's obviously wrong I know), so in other words native to gaming. Any comments feel free to contact me, and yes I know the links below are a redirect circle.--Chris Wattson (talk) 19:13, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

If he ever returns, I doubt he would have a problem with it - go for it. –xeno (talk) 19:43, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

His contribs show a blatant Special:Contributions/Andy_Bjornovich sock. Tombomp (talk/contribs) 18:38, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Hrm I guess I don't see it –xeno (talk) 18:41, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Interest in languages and claim to know 25 languages (Andy Bjornovich had about that many babel boxes on his user page), silly comments, no article edits, instantly finding your talk page, being an idiot with his talk page, a similar writing style. I guess it's hard to say for sure with so few edits. Tombomp (talk/contribs) 18:45, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Also ridiculously long name and a claim to have "aspergers" [1] as well as an interest in poor quality British TV. It's not a big deal, maybe he'll be a constructive contributor this time?? Tombomp (talk/contribs) 20:35, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Plus CW appears two days after AB was blocked and he shows a degree of knowledge way above what a new user would know. Hmmm. — Rlevse • Talk • 19:54, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and he also admits on his userpage to using an IP he previously used to edit his user page while blocked [2]. Maybe I should make an SSP case at some point.Tombomp (talk/contribs) 20:10, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Andy says he has "aspergers" here Tombomp (talk/contribs) 21:15, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

This same odd spelling of "aspergers" by both of them locks this up. I've indef'd Chris Wattson. — Rlevse • Talk • 21:46, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

There also is a fixation with Pi[3][4], using "Hello, sir" to begin posts, redirects of talk pages,[5][6] user names composed of only letters,[7][8] Claiming to speak about 20-25 languages and requests for "Smith" translation into Ukrainian,[9][10][11][12][13] He hinted about his geographic location in a place were someone might see it[14], then alluded to being blocked under another account[15], then gave a bigger hint[16], and a bigger hint,[17], and then an obvious hint.[18]. -- Suntag ☼ 23:03, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I'd like to admit to two sockpuppets. User talk:212.85.13.143 and User talk:212.159.64.14. Andy Bjornovich (talk) (contributions) (email) 17:46, 19 September 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.73.46.255 (talk)

RfC on conduct of User:Abd, comment requested

Thank you for expressing interest at User:Abd/RfC/Proxy Table in my standing userspace RfC. The first questions to be addressed are at User:Abd/RfC/8.11.08 block, which is a page for the questions and (later) a summary of consensus. Comments and discussion have been begun, by me, at User talk:Abd/RfC/8.11.08 block. Because the first questions address the warning issued to me by Jehochman before the block on 8/11, and should not involve extensive research, I have several times asked Jehochman to comment, but he has declined so far. I have also asked Carcharoth, as suggested by Jehochman, to look at it, but so far he hasn't found time; perhaps he will in the next few days. If you are able to look at the pages ref'd above, and comment regarding the questions, or otherwise as you see fit, it would be appreciated. I am waiting to see if these questions can be resolved and a preliminary consensus found, without going to a wider forum, such as the Village Pump, AN, or a standard user RfC. Thanks for any time you can give this. --Abd (talk) 21:10, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

People should not become involved in this user-controlled RFC - we have an RFC process, Abd has so far found nobody willing to become involved in his illegitimate version of the process. You should tell him (as everyone else has over the last month of him spamming people) that you will be happy to be involved in a real community controlled RFC, not his sham version. He wants to use the results of it to attack a number of dedicated administrators. It could be harmful to your standing as an editor to be seen to be involved in such an attack page. Send him a clear message instead - set up a real RFC. --87.115.22.127 (talk) 21:34, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm really only opening myself up for direct queries about my involvement, including my unblocking of Abd, so, I don't really see this as a problem. Open a proper RFC? No thank you! =) –xeno (talk) 02:46, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Xeno. You've been honored by a visit from Fredrick day. He's quick. The notice above was given to the four users who expressed interest as described, as usual, within minutes, Fred shows up. He's obviously very active, as he claims elsewhere.--Abd (talk) 05:30, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: 'o hai'

Thanks Xeno. Unfortunately, I can't - I protected it way back. Would you mind unprotecting that and User:Caulde/m (and possibly more when I come across them). Thank you. Caulde 17:47, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

m wasn't protected, but i did find a few that were. let me know if you need semi's on anything. –xeno (talk) 17:52, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Protection

[19] In all honesty, all they will do is move onto another users talk page, so really I do not mind leaving mine unprotected (better there than in namespace). Tiptoety ^talk 19:27, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

True, but it takes them time to re-group and re-organize... its your page, feel free to downgrade, I'll just take it off my watchlist ;> –xeno (talk) 19:28, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

• lol it's like tag, now I'm it. –xeno (talk) 19:30, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Xenobot

I believe that Xenobot has delivered a message to a wrong page: [20] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kuld (talk • contribs) 11:51, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

argh, he did that again? i'm really confused... someone on the delivery list must have their talk page redirected there. thanks. –xeno (talk) 15:15, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

• I found the problem...Thanks again. –xeno (talk) 17:40, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Help needed

Please look into this anon IP address 64.53.154.63 (talk). Despite repeated warnings to him/her, as to not disrupt the integrity and well being of Wikipedia, he/she has struck again in the page of Talk: Singapore adding such controversial statement into this section (the statement is highly controversial as it is baseless accusation of Chinese Communist committing such criminal act in Singapore without us knowing, given that Singapore's position has always been anti-communist since it's independence) without providing any relevant sources or solid proof to back up his/her highly controversial statement. Previously, I had requested the main article for semi-protection due to several repeat vandalism from anon IPs but this is a first time for me to request this for the discussion page, and I shudder to think of it as this might hinder other anon IP users from making useful contribution here. So, is it possible to ask for the above-mentioned anon IP to be banned from editing without first logging in? --Dave1185 (talk) 18:52, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Something to look at...

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/G DATA AntiVirus Enigma ^message 03:31, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Looks like User:Emperordarius has made a nice little personal attack. This editor seems to have had several "last chances," I would not be opposed to a good long block. GlassCobra 16:44, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

You make the call. Enigma ^message 22:53, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Having ones contributions nominated for deletion is a stressful ordeal, I would be hesitant to block based on that. –xeno (talk) 01:53, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Please ban this IP

Hey there Xeno, long time no see. Please ban [21] that IP. He/she continues to vandalise the page, Modern musical symbols. Despite repeated warnings, he/she just isn't stopping. I think a ban would be appropriate now. Must have rollbacked the edits about 5-6 times. Thanks, A Prodigy ^{Sign Here}/_Contact 10:01, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

WP:AIV would probably be faster. Tombomp (talk/contribs) 10:06, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Well I've submitted a report there as well now, thanks for the link. Had to rollback two more times since, this is just getting boring and more tiresome. I wish it would stop... A Prodigy ^{Sign Here}/_Contact 10:17, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Requesting copy of deleted article Creating new wikipedia article

Hey there Xeno, sorry to bother you once again, but could you provide me with a copy of Creating new wikipedia article, which was deleted as CSD#A7? I'd like to review it for my !vote on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Jamesontai 2. Regards SoWhy 11:09, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Making a article un-viewable

Is there a way to make a article unviewable for a period of time. HereFord 20:53, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

nope, this isn't really possible...may I ask why? –xeno (talk) 01:54, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

remember you can always tag an article {{underconstruction}} or {{inuse}} if you're worried about other people editing an article or just use a Sandbox or even 'notepad' Lympathy ^Talk 16:01, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Moving User talk:Abyssalrenamehold

User:Abyssal needs his talk to be moved to User talk:Abyssal instead of User talk:Abyssalrenamehold. I can't do it because of a redirect. I think it needs an Admin to do it. Lympathy ^Talk 17:44, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
