Barney vandal

Take a look at Wikipedia:Long term abuse#Disney/Barney vandal. It's only within the last week that they have started to use the talk page or edit summaries. It's really hard to tell if they are legit edits, this is when they make edits like this. Maybe they are different people as one is Verizon Internet Services in New York and the other (Verizon again) but in Boston. I've never been able to get them to talk at all but they may be willing to start. The major problem is the lack of good sources so it's down to tv.com and a fan site called classic Barney. It could well be the IP is right but with no discussion or sources it's hard to tell. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 07:53, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Sometimes I feel like tagging them all for an AfD but although it's a kids show it's important. Right now I'm removing triva lists of people who didn't appear in the show and random quotes. Quotes should be something memorable that people actually quote and not things like Barney: "Hi kids", Kids: "Hi Barney". CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 22:59, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

No idea.

I just play them as I see them... HalfShadow 00:22, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use image

Hey Extranet! I noticed that you have a fair use image on your user page (Image:Firefox-logo.svg). Could you replace this? --207.27.152.54 14:10, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Re:Nice to talk to you again

Heyyy, I'm all good. Just been editin' here and there lol. ~Spebi 03:50, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Eeek! ...thanks for that ~Spebi 07:27, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for leaving me the welcoming message for the Birthday Committee! But, there seems to be a problem with the Calender - it shows May 12 as being a Friday (and therefore 13 May as a Saturday) but they are Saturday and Sunday (respectively) this year. I then checked the June calender and the same problem - the days are still shown as they would have been in 2006! I ask for your help as I am not very handy when it comes to making a table/fixing one!

Could you fix the table?

Thanks,

Booksworm Talk to me! 15:12, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Huh! {{Infobox_Officeholder}}

I can see removing BOTH, but not just the one. So I'm confused (nothing new there, trust me! <g>)

RU doing the needed edit? See failure analysis && thread above. Thanks (I Think) // FrankB 03:48, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

re: :No, I just removed the {{helpme}} tag as it is not required for this. The {{EditProtected}} should get the attention of an administrator soon. Many thanks, Extranet ^talk 03:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Well thanks for the clarification, but if I was confident of that, I wouldn't have used both. This has been sitting circa ten hours since he told me and David it was broke a second time. So, honor, The Right Thing, and all that makes it a bit hot. // FrankB 03:57, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

::Someone should turn up here shortly to review your request. I'll pop a note on the administrator's noticeboard to get them to have a look. Extranet ^talk 03:59, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Okay -- that should do (tho' honesty compels me to admit this is the first time 'helpme' has failed me! <g> // FrankB 04:03, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

CIA factbook

Hi, I noticed all your edits to change the URL to the CIA factbook entries of the countries. May I suggest an other approach for maintaining these links, a bit like {{imdb name}} that links to IMDb? That would prevent having to edit all countries if the link changes again (ok, that implies editing all pages again :) -- lucasbfr ^talk 11:32, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Abuse Bot

I asked User:BlackBear to take a look. I would suggest you just drop a line to some of the people on the Abuse talk page. I found him because I saw his name several times as an investigator. Just ask several without regard to what you think their position would be. You might create a page in your sandbox with the specifics including a mock up of the instructions and what the page would look like. I'm really new myself at Abuse but I'll help if I can. JodyB _talk 20:56, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks.

My page was also blanked out, so I was worried and went to check on my friend's one. Thank goodness you helped User:Ready4Victory! I really want to know who did this horrible deed of blanking our pages. Can you help me find him out? Littleghostboo[ talk ] (Win an argument and leave your mark in history.)

Please block that guy as soon as possible, I don't want him blaking other people's pages as well. It already gave me a GREAT shock... Littleghostboo[ talk ] (Win an argument and leave your mark in history.)
