How does it work? How do you run it? --dfrankow 15:17, 2 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

The bot is a MIRC script. You do not need to run the code to use it, you can simply join #wikipedia-en-vandalism channel on irc.freenode.net server and start using the bot. -- Cat chi? 16:54, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

I concur, you may increase the block if you see fit. I err on the side of caution for proxies. As to IRC, I usually find it distracting or unproductive (meaning, no one talks to me :")... as I have a TV tuner in my computer I can deal with one distraction in the background at a time. I will certainly reconsider my IRC and proxy policy. :"D - RoyBoy 800 20:15, 2 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

IRC/CVU issue

edit
[03:23:57] <Jtkiefer> all I want done is for him to drop the issue,
to forget about ops and to continue like normal
[03:24:13] <Cool_Cat> can I copy that last line to his talk page?
[03:24:29] <Jtkiefer> yeah, sure

Jtkiefer, says he is ready to forget about this given you agree to forget about it.

You may feel the need to seek "justice", however it probably is in the best interest of wikipedia to drop the issue. IIRC you do not seek some sort of punishment for Jtkiefer so I also feel you want to be left alone and be able to fight vandalism in the channel w/o interference.

I say lets forget about the issue and deal with vandalism. This conflict only benefits vandals as it distracts us (you, Jtkiefer, me and anybody else involved) to some extent to focus on the big picture.

What do you mean by IIRC

I dont really get some of what you said on my talk page but thanks for your message. --Adam1213☺ Talk+|WWW 05:38, 3 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Sorry for the confusion let me explain/summarise. I just feel you want a truce as much as he does. This matter as I see it can only be settled if forgotten.

Are you sure? It would please me more if the image did sutvive. Do you recall where you got it from? -- Cat chi? 12:59, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi Cool Cat, actually I was merely improving on the image, "Klerck.jpg", as stated in my notation. I did say the following: "Improvement of Klerck.jpg (currently in en:Wikipedia) using photoshop". The composition of the original image was, in my opinion, bad in that it had too much headroom. In any case, I am getting so much less attached to Wikipedia these days that I don't really care what they do to my contributions, LOL. — PM Poon 01:50, 5 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Well, I am not a deletionist. I think we can argue of a fair-use. The images Image:Klerck.jpg and Image:Klerck1.jpg look about the same. Can you tell my untrained eyses the diference? Is it sharper?
I understand that, I have also been dealing with rather annoying personalities on wiki, though I have no idea what your dispute is. I encourage you to stay with us. -- Cat chi? 09:07, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi Cool Cat, you wrote: "The images Image:Klerck.jpg and Image:Klerck1.jpg look about the same. Can you tell my untrained eyses the diference? Is it sharper?"

Please go to the webpage: "Image:Klerck.jpg", and look at the file history. The original version, at the bottom, reads:

(del) (rev) 18:33, 4 July 2005 . . Dougmilbourne . . 113x150 (14482 bytes) (Kevin "Klerck" Ealy)

If you press on the date field, you will see the original version, where there is a lot of empty space above the guy's head.

I am actually a Photoshop enthusiast. Whenever I see any pictures that can benefit from Photoshop, I will improve on it. Unfortunately, when I used the "Upload a new version of this file" feature, it never seems to work. I recently found out that it does actually work, although not instanteously (I wonder why). That explains why I uploaded, using the "new version" feature twice. When it did not seem to work, I downloaded the image, using Klerck1.jpg, a new file name, and it works instanteously.

As for your kind encouragement, I must thank you very much. Since you are very candid with me, I will be very candid with you. Honestly, as a foreigner, I feel discriminated against by a few British and I am really cheesed off by them. I have stopped contributing for quite many days now as I am now in another website where my contributions are more appreciated. However, I will still drop by once a while. Thank you again for your encouragement. — PM Poon 11:33, 5 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Hmm, for disputes we have a dispute resolution process. It is slow, but it works. I also suffer from the special care of some people.
I know wikipedia could use more photoshop entusiasts.
Additionaly, I encourage you to take a look at Wikipedia:Counter Vandalism Unit, no one complains about people reverting vandalism (aside from vadals of whom are dealt with swiftly).

Where did you get this image from, I am merely curious about the identity of these people. -- Cat chi? 04:48, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

These people are definitely in my family, on my side (not my wife's side). The picture was with a bundle of family photos left to me a few years ago by an aunt when she died. I scanned it into my computer. I think its a lovely pic, shame I'll probably never find out exactly who they were. Moral: always write the persons name on the back of a photo (the only thing on the back was the date). Thanks for your question - Adrian Pingstone 12:37, 4 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
I see, I hate unresolved misteries, its like a novel that doesn't conclude. It indeed is a lovely pic. Another reason to construct a family tree :) -- Cat chi? 18:16, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

How to use Autosign

edit

note: ` is ` with shift

  1. goto Preferences
  2. turn on raw signatures
  3. Make your nickname ````
  4. change --```` to --```
  5. edit it
  6. save it
  7. Optional chage your nickname to "" or what it used to be
  8. Optional put raw signatures to what it used to be

You get the sig sign but I think to use it you might need to do Edit pages may be made harder by this the solution for this problem is a section above it and a section below and tell people not to edit the entire page.

Or have the page with {{top-of-articles-name}} ~~~~ {{bottom-of-articles-name}} but this puts a lot of strain on the servers and you would need 3 pages for it. --Adam1213☺ Talk+|WWW 00:46, 5 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

edit

Hi Cool Cat, you are really cool. Honestly, I was surprised when you notified me of your intention to delete Klerck1.jpg. "Normally", no one does that, they just delete, which is fine to me too. What I didn't like is when some administrators or editors start throwing their weight around. I feel that in a community portal, administrators must double up as counsellors and not as hooligans, LOL. You have a high dose of EQ and I wish you well. — PM Poon 21:18, 5 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

I am not an administrator and I can delete the files though I generally try to get templates to be marked to be sourced so they get tagged properly than risk getting deleted. I generally deal with vandalism since the users that cause me stress otherwise dont seem to interfere with it. -- Cat chi? 22:09, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Rajput article

edit

You reverted the article Rajput to a biased and historically distorted version. May I ask why is it so and how do you feel that your edit is justified?

خرم Khurram 21:26, 8 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Hi, please have a read of Wikipedia:Vandalism and Wikipedia:Neutral Point of View. I do not care about the content of Rajput article, however I do care about the removal and addition of large amount of information disrupting wikipedia. My interest in that article does not go beyond that. -- Cat chi? 21:43, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

But that article that you removed was the one that almost all the editors agree upon but one and the one that you have posted is the one that contains the biased and historically distorted information. As a matter of fact you can judge this by the edits performed by different editors during the past few weeks. It can also be witnessed by reading at the corresponding talk page. I think your interest should be about the removal and addition of large amount of "Correct" information not the distorted one. Am I wrong?

خرم Khurram 21:59, 8 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Firstly, I did not remove any article. I added +8000 bytes with my edit on Rajput. I merely reverted someone removing 8000 bytes. As far as I care, removal of 8000 bytes with an edit summary "Shiv ,frankly do you have any suggestion or points for resolving this dispute, I'd b with you if you something sensible.HOWz that?". [1]
It is a topic I know nothing about. I monitor all of wikipedia just like any RC patroler.
Please use/promote legable edit summaries so other editors can easily tell exactly what you did on the edit. Adress wikipedia rather than a spesific user.
Tonikaku, "historically distorted information" sounds POV to me, but *meh* I really do not care. -- Cat chi? 00:09, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

I appreciate your desire to retain any useful information for the benefit of Wikipedia. Much of the historical information that User:Shivraj Singh continues to insert into the article has been moved to History of Rajputs, where it is presented in a less-hysterical and better edited fashion. Not much in the way of accurate content is lost by the removal of Shivraj Singh's edits, but much is gained in terms the article's neutrality and readability. Tom Radulovich 07:01, 9 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Oh I see whats going on now... Hmm... You seem to have it covered then. :) -- Cat chi? 07:10, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
All these users Taoo/Wisesabre etc and some self proclaimed moderators like Zora/Goethean etc are just pushing muslim agenda. I have provided a list of 61 books from top researchers and these guys want to operate without citations. I have asked them repeatedly on the talk page to point out, with citations, what is POV, anti muslim in my edits and no one has responded till date. They are pushing a history which is *only* accepted by muslims and not by even person about whom this page is i.e the rajputs from India. It is really funny that a small group of pakistani muslims are trying to write the history of hindu rajputs.
Wikipedia has become a contest in outshouting the other. "Correct" version seems to be dependent on who has more numbers and these muslims are playing this game well. I will grant that Tom has some knowledge on the subject but not very deep.
You should keep an eye out for these users and help prevent muslim POV psuhing.
Shivraj Singh 17:42, 10 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
Hi, I understand your concerns. You may want to seek assitance from Wikipedia:Mediation, I try to stay away from POV disputes. -- Cat chi? 12:30, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
I can understand not getting involved but on one side we have references and citations and on the other we have none. Can we have bad scholarship on wikipedia where a very well referenced work is edited by a group who continuously refuses to provide any citations for there edits?

Trials and Tribulations

edit

Cool_Cat, I've just read some of your User Page and some of the details of your recent trials and tribulations. My gut feeling as a relatively new user on WP is that many in here and perhaps yourself have become "addicted" to this place and have let it replace real life. Any thoughts on this? User: Barry Wells, November 10, 2005. Current IRC nick "LabattLaBall."

Comon side effect of wikipedia. Some what an accurate analysis but at times wikipedia had became unbareable for me. I do have a real life, wikipedia is a part of it. -- Cat chi? 12:24, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

IRC ProbeCom bot

edit

Could you add a feature to /msg users the filtered edits for a particular user under probation? eg, have the bot /msg Marudubshinki all Onefortyone's edits, so they don't get lost in the clutter of the channel, since it seems to be doubling as a discussion of MentCom and the place the bot deposits its edit warnings. --Maru (talk) Contribs 03:09, 13 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Also: could you change the "pro" command to "probe" or at least alias "probe"? I'd greatly appreciate that. Likewise, I would be gratified and amused if you could make the 'access denied' message "I'm sorry, FOO. I'm afraid I can't do that." instead of the current "I cannot comply..." --Maru (talk) Contribs 06:51, 13 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

I have managed to get cmd to connect to irc. I could connect to the recent changes list and get the url's of articles, I could program something to download them, scan them for certaint words and post a message if any of the words specified were found...

I have autoit getting the last thing from the log file and I have it sending to it. I could use any other client instead as long as it has logging, (just about.)

I use a command that sends text to a window and I have to have the info on the window to know which one to send to. If I dont use this command it needs to grab input...

Cool Cat, do you know Kawaii Neko (talkcontribs)? He tried to do some well-meaning but inappropriate things with the redirects from your old username (User:Coolcat)–which I have repaired–and has adopted the layout and formatting of your user pages for his own.

I've asked him to at least remove your name from the pages–he did a copy-paste–you might want to keep an eye on this user. Is it someone you know? TenOfAllTrades(talk) 17:52, 14 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for watching my back and keep up the good work. Sorry for the rather short previous reply...
The reason I am using is because of the issue with inter wiki-redirects not working properly.

I dono, its not the best way to do it but, I am not sure what an alternative could be. I am open to suggestions... -- Cat chi? 14:32, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Transcluding user and user talk pages

edit

Welcome!

Hello とある白い猫/Archive/2005/11, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Transclusion of user pages

edit

I noticed that you changed the redirects for User:Coolcat and User talk:Coolcat (that pointed to the new user name, User:Cool Cat) into transclusions of User:Cool Cat and User talk:Cool Cat.

I've reverted your changes and restored the redirects. Using transclusion in this situation causes a number of problems. First, the transcluded content is not updated on the page that refers to it until the referencing page is edited—the referencing page will fall out of date and out of sync with the transcluded page. Second, for a User talk page, an editor who uses the 'add section' button (the little + symbol) to leave a message will end up adding the section to the wrong talk page. Consequently, the new username (Cool Cat) won't be notified that a message has been left on the Coolcat talk page. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 17:48, 14 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Regarding your own user pages, please edit them so that they no longer identify you as Cool Cat. It's probably quite flattering for him that you've adopted his style and layout for your user pages, but it will be confusing to other editors to leave his name on them.

Hi. I just wanted to say you have the best userpage I've ever seen.

Thank you! The page you mentioned is already fixed.
The reason my userpage gets vandalised is probably because of my effort to remove vandalism from wikipedia, some vandals dont like getting reverted apperantly. :)

Hi Cool Cat. You IRC bot is a great tool, but I have some suggestions. It is not possible to add an user to blacklist (only IP's are accepted) - can you fix it? Is it possible to get full list of watched pages/whitelisted and blacklisted users? I also would like to know when this bot reports wheeler (we had one case on Wikibooks, but I wasn't warching the bot so I don't know if it reacted properly). BTW, you have registered #wikibooks-en-vandalism channel at FreeNode, but it does not have ChanServ and Wikibooks users cannot f.e. change topic of the channel. I don't know FreeNode well, can you make #wikibooks-en-vandalism be like #wikipedia-en-vandalism? --User:Derbeth talk 19:34, 17 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Edit analysis chart per your request

edit

Sorry for the delay; I've done the graph for you. Your use of edit summaries is 28% overall. First 500 edits was 25%, last 500 was 39%. Your average edits per day is 49, and stable (not changed much since July or so). Your peak # of edits on a given day was 327 on April 1, 2005. You've had eight other days in excess of 200. You have contributed something on 85% of the days available since you started editing on February 4, 2005. I conclude; you're a nutcase and need psychological help for your addiction. More serious medical symptoms may set in with kidney failure due to not going to the bathroom when your body demands, acid reflux due to not eating, severe loss of weight due to same, severe repetitive stress symptoms most notably in the hands and wrists, and early onset of arthritis most likely in the wrists. I won't give you any more charts until the twitching stops. :) All the best, --Durin 15:17, 18 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I'm just letting you know that PRueda29 Ptalk29 is on a Wikibreak. In his absence, I'm watching his watchlist and other stuff. If you can spare the time take a look at his watchlist (on his user or my talk page) and help keep things in order by watching some of those.

Hi Cool Cat,

Thank you very much for your support on my RfA. I was both surprised and delighted about the amount of support votes and all the kind words! If I can ever help with anything or if you have any comments about my actions as an admin, please let me know! Regards, JoanneB 14:06, 21 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

edit

Hi Coolcat, the chan is really great! I have a little request, can you whitelist it:Utente:ZeroBot since it is a bot belonging to it:Utente:Paginazero (admin on it.wiki). He is using the bot to insert articles about films and they get detected as possible copyvio, but they're not and it's hard to see the real possible vandalism messages. Thanks a lot. --Cruccone 23:30, 23 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Hey, I am a bit overwhelmed on how to go on with this article. Suggestions? -- Cat chi? 18:57, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, we need recaps on episodes 13 up to 24, plus a spoken word version of this article is required because the old version is obloste and computerised (it is on the article's talk page if you need more details). Umm, thats all i can consider at the moment that won't make the artcle biased or overloaded. --Dynamo_ace 19:19, 23 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
Ok, I'll get 13 - 24 done, I really have been slacking off from doing that primarily because of the ex-arbcom case taking too much of (all of) my time.
Tonikaku, spoken version has to wait till we have all 24 episodes summerised. I do not want to rush it ;). It takes me about 20 minutes to do a single episode (as each ep is that long :P).
We need the "movie" expanded. An hour and a half long movie cant be summerised to a paragraph that small :). Can you do that for me? -- Cat chi? 16:22, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Sorry, i only know the TV series and i have only read the first 5 issues of the magna. Anything relating to the OVA and Movie i can't do, primarly because i don't want to watch it due to it feeling like a rushed cash-in. -Dynamo_ace 17:47, 24 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
Movie is realy stand alone, it is not detached from the plot. I also refuse to watch the OVA, at least I hope to last till season 2 which is expected to air in about a year or more, given there is no information weather there will be a season 2 or not. I really do not understand the logic of Anime companies... -- Cat chi? 17:56, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey is it possible for you to add a link to your talk page on your sig? Thanks. -- Cat chi? 16:23, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

As for the link to the talk page,hmm, maybe i will get on to that soon.-Dynamo_ace 17:47, 24 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
Its easy, just go to preferences and check the "raw signature" box and Type: [[User:Dynamo ace|Dynamo_ace]] [[User talk:Dynamo ace|Talk]] and save, any sig you create afterwards will have the talk link. Of course there is no reason not to throw in a few html tags like my sig :) -- Cat chi? 17:57, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Need a second opion

edit

We have a anon vandal who keeps on reducing the quility of the article by causing the following edit shown in this link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dead_or_Alive_%28video_game%29&curid=799747&diff=29148017&oldid=29125979

The vandal uses 3 different IPs and if i revert the article for the third time i may violate the 3RR rule. I need your opion on the article. -Dynamo_ace Talk

Hmm, is this an alternative spelling? I would be hard pressed to call this vandalism. It looks like just another revert war... ;) -- Cat chi? 18:19, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Oh thanks for the link... -- Cat chi? 18:21, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

my vandalism reverter and warner

edit

I will soon get my vandalism reverter and warner working really well in a way that you can still do things while it is running and also fix a small problem in it after I made an inprovement on a part of it to speed it up. I will also add to an irc client that I made some things to be more integrated with the bot, like buttons for next article, revert, revert + warn, revert + warn + add to bots blacklist and say that an article has been reverted...

Thanks for the comment before. --Adam1213 Talk + 05:02, 25 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Bot

edit

When the message comes up saying: "Large new page by IP, possible copy vio" it creates a link under "Diff:" like for example: "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_One_Where_Dr._Ramoray_Dies&diff=next&oldid=" which is pointless, because it leads to a non-existent page.

Blocked for 24h

For blindly reverting Karl Meier (without even reading the diffs), I'm forced to block you for 24h.

After promising to be good and stop following KM, I've set the block to 3 hours. It's also to be noted that Davenbelle was warned several times (like when he opposed your RFA). Redwolf24 (talk) Attention Washingtonians! 21:55, 27 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Well, it was ment to be a joke, it was to in a way "protest" a number of wikiprojects seeking "decency", etc... If you really want to sign up... go for it.

Warning to Karl Meier and Cool Cat

edit

I shall block you both if I catch you edit warring any more as you have done on Kurdistan Workers Party and Kurdistan. I am warning you both.

"It is suspected that this user may be a sock puppet or impersonator of an Extraterrestrial.

- Well, its obvious the edvidence is substantial, as well as it backs up consensus pior to UFU sightings. As such, I have to agree- you are a sockpuppet of aliens. Of course, that means, that as a sockpuppet, we'll have to trace you back to the sockpuppeteer that pulls your strings, right..? =) -MegamanZero19:12 29,November 2005 (UTC)

Something else for you to fix (hehe)

I presume it is your bot running in #wikpedia-en-vandalism (19:53, 29 November 2005 (UTC)) - There is a fault with the "userparse" thing or whatever it is called. For example: [[Special:Log/newusers]]: Warning! "[[User:Dothackangel]]" has a nick containing the flag word: "hack" Block: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Blockip&ip= As you can see the link doesn't go to the right destination.

Semi-pro (again!)

edit

Hey there, Cool Cat, I noticed you were one of only two (!) users who pushed for {{VotesforSemiprotect}} and I'm here to tell you that a couple users and myself have been trying to get this proposal re-looked at/passed. I believe I got the origional idea from you (about the time when I was getting serious with my edits), and therefore have you to thank in terms of getting this off the ground. If you wouldn't mind weighing in at Wikipedia:Semi-protection policy, that would be muy appreciated. Thanks in advance, Mysekurity 05:34, 30 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Why did ya put that back in, is it important, am I missing something? Because with that in there, it actually shifts the icon to the right. Take it out and it becomes centered. - RoyBoy 800 17:05, 30 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Assistance

edit

Cool Cat, may I request some tips and tricks-of-the-trade regrading adminship? ...Would you be as so kind to help me on my quest to (eventually) become an admin..? I think I'd contribute well to the other users of our fair community, and I have read the articles on adminship all at least twice. Also, could you look at my contributions, discussions, etc. and tell me your humble opinion of me as a user in wikipedia...? Any criticism would be quite helpful. Normally, I'd be asking Tony, but he's kinda busy right now. -MegamanZero 23:41 30,November 2005 (UTC)

I failed to achieve adminship access with two trials. I no longer seek adminship. Reasons are:
  1. I do not care about/understand wiki-politics (I am here to merely write/expand an encyclopedia).
  2. no one explained me why they opposed my RfA to the point of leaving wikipedia if I were adminised.
  3. people are being dicks and are torturing me by taunting with "do this or I will oppose your next rfa" or "that comment is why you arent an admin".
Threfore I do not seek adminship, it would however make my vandal fighting efforts easier but it is serriously not worth my time.
Hence I am a very bad person to talk to for advice. Any advice I may give to you or if people think I am helping you that may geportise your adminship effort.
Regretfully, I cannot be of any help to you either way. :( -- Cat chi? 12:31, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
Somehow, I find that hard to believe. You seem like a nice enough guy, as well as having the long-term goal of improving wikipedika in mind. You also seem to have a knack for honesty, something I find admirable. All you need too do is wash your mouth out with soap, and you'll go far. =) -MegamanZero
Well, believe it or not, thats how it is... -- Cat chi? 16:33, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
That's too bad....I think people should get to know you better before making making assumptions like that. However, if its any assumption, I believe you are a good wikipedian and I thought (still do) you could be of help. Besides, anyone with a username like Cool Cat can't be all that bad!-MegamanZero
Advice I can safely give are:
  1. Revert vandalism (RC patrol)
  2. Do NOT touch articles such as Armenian Genocide
  3. Hope no one you met does any of the items listed on WP:ABF.
-- Cat chi? 18:27, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Thanks! But why not touch articles like Armenian Genocide..? And why avoid people who do things on WP:ABF...? Just curious.-MegamanZero 20:58 1,December 2005 (UTC)
    Since I touched that controversial article, several people made my wikipedia exerience miserable, at several occasions I had seriously considered leaving. For their horrid behaviour I am held responsible in the minds of several users. It's just how wiki-politics works, I dont claim to have an understanding of it. Thats the best explanation I can come up with. I do not think it should make any logical sense tho.
    If people are ABF, they must have a reason right? :)
    Tonigaku, controversial are like the sun if you get to close to them you only end up getting burnt. Even if you leave such articles alone for months you will still be a "POV Pusher" 12,000 edits later. -- Cat chi? 19:04, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
  • I see. In another note, I looked at this, and it was quite interesting...may I inquire why those two were stalking you and why you have been designated mentors..? You do not seem like the type to cause trouble, my friend.-MegamanZero 23:14 1,December 2005 (UTC)
    I do not know... They either sincerely saw me as a threat to wikipedia (Hawthorne's: Road to hell is paved with good obsessions) or they enjoy anoying others. Although I hope its not the latter, I cant rule it out either. -- Cat chi? 21:16, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Indeed. I agree with that! -MegamanZero
    You may want to not copy an RfAr page... :) -- Cat chi? 21:35, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
  • I believe its a very interesting conversation; and furthurmore, a perfect example of how not to act on wikipedia. Hopefully, it'll help in my learning process of becoming an admin. BTW, How do you think I stack up for the position...?-MegamanZero 0:14 2,December 2005 (UTC)
