re: Great lakes[edit]

I've rolled back your recent edits to the Great Lakes article. I noticed that you mentioned in your edit summary that you believed that your edits consisted of fixing "typos", but I'd like to point something out to you. You corrected "meltwater" to "melt water", but take note that the original spelling is probably correct, at least to the extent that Wikipedia already has an article with the original spelling as its title. The other correction you made ("upbound" to "unbound") is definitely incorrect. "Upbound"[1] is an expression derived from distinguishing between the more northerly lakes, which are often termed the "upper" lakes and the southern bodies of water which are many times referred to as the "lower" lakes. Thus, a north bound vessel is commonly called "upbound". My guess, is that you you're utilizing a spellcheck for reference that simply doesn't contain either of these terms in the sense they're being used here. It's always a good idea to never completely rely on a single spellchecker to form final opinions regarding how a particular word should be spelled in the context it appears in, a quick check in a reasonably good online dictionary before editing can often correct these problems before they occur. happy editing, cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 18:32, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 23:22, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your rollback request[edit]

Hi! I regret that I must inform you that your request for the rollback permission has been denied. You can discover why by checking the archives at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Denied/October 2008#Irunongames. SoxBot X (talk) 21:00, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, and a sad note[edit]

Hi Irunongames. I'm FlyingToaster, a friend of Roux's. I'm very sorry to say that Roux has decided to leave Wikipedia for personal reasons, so he won't be participating in the Adopt-a-User program any longer. Roux wanted me to tell you that he's very sorry to have to leave and will miss his adoptees very much.

So, what does that mean for you? At this point, you can:

Please feel free to let me know what you'd like to do or ask a question by adding a comment here or to my talk page. Thank you, and most excellent editing to you. FlyingToaster 07:49, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You haz been adopted![edit]

By me! I added a userbox to your front page. Gotta run now, but we'll catch up later and talk about what you'd like to learn. One note: please sign anything you write in Wikipedia by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. Talk to ya later! FlyingToaster 21:34, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]


VAN BOETZELAER[edit]

I m working on this article right now; building, putting the pieces together; the claim of vandalism is absurd. Steve. —Preceding unsigned comment added by StevBeltman (talkcontribs) 23:46, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion requests[edit]

Looks like you're working on New Page Patrol. While we can always use more npp'ers, you might want to avoid tagging pages for deletion the same minute they are created unless they are blatant vandalism (along the lines of "I like cheese" or "Jane is a #@(#&$!") Most new users take several edits to successfully make a new page, and it can be very disheartening to be slapped with a deletion notice the same minute they create a page. Van Boetzelaer is one example, Telgish is another. HTH.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:51, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion on World of Warcraft macros[edit]

I concurred with the prod of the article World of Warcraft macros. I added a stronger reason for the article's deletion; I encourage you to review the list of arguments to avoid in deletion discussions -- it helped me a lot. --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 21:35, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal Fighting![edit]

Your vandal fighting is looking good! Looks like you're mastering Huggle well. FlyingToaster 08:36, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request For Rollback[edit]

Hi. I've fulfilled your request. Please see WP:RBK for any help on th etool or ask me. Please remember to use it only for blatant vandalism, and that it only reverts the edit - you will still need to warn the user manually. Pedro :  Chat  12:54, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats! FlyingToaster 23:13, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a tip[edit]

It's generally useful to check the edit history before you a) revert something baselessly b) leave template messages on people's talk pages and c) presume to call such edits vandalism. You really ought to have your rollback privileges revoked since it's pretty clear you don't pay attention to the crucial details in your reverts. 24.18.46.102 (talk) 20:39, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Maybe you should quit using your new program, because it appears to be doing more harm than good. Instead of putting templates on articles, I'm generally in favor of fixing whatever the problem is, which I did, and which you then undid. I did not blank anything, I removed a section which was unencyclopedic and in clear violation of WP:TRIVIA. It ought to be removed and kept out of that article permanantly. 24.18.46.102 (talk) 20:44, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of entire section of Opera house article[edit]

Is there some reason why you appear to have arbitrarily removed the entire "History" section of this article - with no justification on the Talk page? Viva-Verdi (talk) 01:31, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From the sequencing, it looked as if you were the one who removed it. I'm sorry if I'm in error. Viva-Verdi (talk) 02:44, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's OK. Everyone makes mistakes.Irunongames (talk) 02:45, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eh?[edit]

Explain, please? -- Kife 14:58, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tejturi Bazar[edit]

Re: Tejturi Bazar: If you want to remove the proposed deletion templates, go ahead, but unless you beef up the article and provide evidence of notability, it will fail when it is nominated for deletion using the more formal AFD process. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 19:05, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

Thanks for the recent talk page reversion :)

ChrischTalk 15:31, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey again. Lol I actually had to Google this, because I'm running a program called Huggle - which reverts vandalism and warns/reports users with only one click... To manually warn people, try looking at WP:Template messages/User talk namespace :)
