Counting

Not sure about your counting. Userboxes don't count, neither does Wikilove. If it doesn't say barnstar on the tin, it ain't one. Anyway, if you want to give one to ScribbleStick, use {{subst:User:Spinningspark/Barnstar shame}}. SpinningSpark 11:09, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

I sure hope you do care...

Hi there.

I just made a general announcement to the Wikipedia community to let everyone know that I'm not dead. I then relised that you're probably the only person (other than maybe Rkr1991) who would care, so I thought it would be easier for you if I just tell you on your page.

Also, while I think of it, I am checking my page more regularly than I'm logging and writing stuff, so if you want to tell me somthing (I dunno, like how great I am etc.) I will most likely read it within a couple of days.

I saw you and that half-vulcan guy talking on my page, but you both seemed to be having a good time and my presence usually stops people haveing fun, so I thought I wouldn't intervene, but I would write somthingif my imput seemed important.

Okay, well I'm off now before anybody gets any more concrete proof that I'm not dead...

I'll be back (eventually),

--ScribbleStick (talk) 05:03, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh, no wait, I'm back - just wanted to get some clarification over what the Barnstar you recently gave me was about. Is it meant to be good or bad?
Okay, now I really am going

Your userbox barnstar idea

Hi there Spongefrog. I've removed your post (per your request) at WT:BARN since we do already have userboxes for this. They are found at User:Leujohn/Workshop/stargiver and Template:User Barnstaraward if you're interested. Cheers - Kingpin13 (talk) 20:37, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Archiving?

Hey Sponge, ever thought about setting up some archiving for your talk page? It's getting rather long. -T'Shael, Lord of the Vulcans 18:47, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I thought about it once, then I decided I liked to look at the messages from time to time (I don't know why), then when it got to 60 messages long I decided I would get some archiving. But I got quite busy with various stuff, and forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me. Unfortunately I have no idea how to do this, so any help would be appreciated. I'm about to attempt a talkback template on your page, so if it goes wrong, I knew about it. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 19:06, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
  Done I set the bot to archive after 3 days, you can always change it if you'd like. :) Happy editing, -T'Shael, Lord of the Vulcans 19:11, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
I was about to ask how often it archived but you just answered it. Thanks. But how exactly would you go about changing it? Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 19:14, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
{{User:MiszaBot/config |algo = old(10d) |archive = User talk:Example/Archive %(counter)d |counter = 1 |maxarchivesize = 250K }}

Just change "old(3d)" to whatever duration you'd like. For example, "old(7d)" would set it to 7 days. Hope that this helps. And, I'll change the colours after this post if it really bothers you. :) -T'Shael, Lord of the Vulcans 19:16, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

No it doesn't bother me, I just felt like saying something here in case you didn't catch the thing below the Talkback post. Thanks, again. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 19:19ish, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Ah, okay. No problem. :) -T'Shael, Lord of the Vulcans 19:24, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
Are you sure, you didn't have to change it, it could be considered a compliment. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 19:28, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the good humor barnstar, its much appreciated. Alas, a handful of rather prudish Admins "asked" me to stop using them during a (surprise) AN/I. Now I've resorted to slightly less humorous messages. I'll keep up the good fight for justice in a world where a number of editors seem to suffer from terminal case of seriousness.

Ah, the fun that is Bambifan101.

I've been editing this site on and off practically since it started and I've never seen anything quite like this dinglefritz. He's so bad that I believe he warranted his own long-term abuse page, so I went ahead and created one in case any questions like yours came up. You can find it here. Regards, --PMDrive1061 (talk) 17:59, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

PS: Diggin' your username and pages. Very fun stuff.  :)


Wow. I found a page with all his sockpuppets. Thats a lot. You like my username? I was going to get it changed, but then I realised I would have to tell everyone I ever spoke to who I was. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 20:24, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Not meaning to but in but

I saw the question on T'Shael's page. Bambifan is a long time sockpuppeter who apparently enjoyes targerting Disney articles. One of his (or hers, I'll just stay with "his" for now) is to trick established users, like yourself, to do what he can't from page protecting. Hope this helps!

Eva Stellenbosch

Your proposed deletion was reverted by User:Uncle G because he seems to feel you really want a merge rather than a delete. Technically he is right, I think you want the page to end up as a redirect to List of Alex Rider characters rather than be scrubbed out completely. You can do this yourself, there is no need for an administrator to delete the page, just replace the current article content with #redirect [[List of Alex Rider characters#Eva Stellenbosch]]. You can add any material worth keeping to the "List..." article. You are not obliged to keep all the material, if it is all redundant/not wanted then all you need do is remove the merge template from the "List" article. Hope that helps.

lol, nope, I'm on here pretty much 24/7. I'll read the article and if I decide that it doesn't meet inclusion standards or CSD, then I'll send it to AfD. Best, t'shaelchat 21:31, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Normally I only make them when the situation arises, or if I get a good idea for one, but if you know some stuff that I don't know (like how to make a template) that would help. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 08:27, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Where are said barnstars? -t'shaélchat 08:28, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh come on, theres about 20 links to it on my userpage. User:Spongefrog/Subpage/My Barnstars. Its at the very bottom so you might have missed it. There used to be more (eg. "the sea anemone barnstar") but I deleted them all. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 08:31, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Ah, okay, yeah. I've seen those. I thought that you had some more stashed away somewhere. -t'shaélchat 08:32, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

That's nice. NOW TELL ME HOW TO DO IT!!! Sorry, I don't know what came over me there. Anyway, I can't find any WP pages telling me how to do it, and I know it's possible because T'Shael did it to a UBX. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 21:01, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

What kind of template?Abce2|Free LemonadeOnly 25 cents!(Sign here) 21:05, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I thought there was only one kind. It's like the templates you have on WP:STAR that you copypaste. Perhaps "template" was the wrong word. Feel free not to re. right away, I need to sleep, so will probably respond tommorow. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 21:08, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

You mean the boxes or the template pages? Abce2|Free LemonadeOnly 25 cents!(Sign here) 21:25, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I think the template pages. I think. I'm not sure what I'm talking about, so I could be wrong. On post no.20 in this page, TShael did something like what I'm asking you about. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 09:32, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I've got it! There is a template somewhere with your userpage information on it. You added the template to your userpage. If that's not correct, then it's still a good idea. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 13:04, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Come on, answer me. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 19:49, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Exactly. My userpage is transcluded from other pages. Specifically {{user:T'Shael/header}} and {{user:T'Shael/body}}. -t'shaélchat 20:11, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
I am an expert, don't you think. Given a few weeks, I bet I would have invented that myself, and think I was the first to invent it. I might steal your idea (judging by your edit summary, I'd say you stole it from J.Delanoy, but I could be wrong). Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 20:19, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

←No, J's is different. I just took the "To Vandals" notice from him. I forgot whose user page that I first saw that on. Pretty sure that it was Mentifisto (talk · contribs), though. -t'shaélchat 20:21, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

No barnstars for J Delanoy, then. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 20:23, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Check out his user page. His is rather ingenious as well. t'shaélchat 20:34, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello...

Hi.. What exactly do you mean by collateral damage ? Rkr1991 (talk) 08:56, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

  • It means if someone who happens to have the same IP as you is blocked, all other accounts with that IP are blocked too for 24 hours, to stop the vandal from creating new accounts etc. Happened to me once, but I got unblocked. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 09:29, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Hmm...interesting, but still I don't think why my IP should be blocked after I sign in, cause that means its me, right... Rkr1991 (talk) 13:44, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
O_o Are you the only person who uses your computer? Or is your internet connection wireless or something. I personally blame someone in my family who had my laptop, but my internet connection was insecure too. Maybe my neighbor, but I doubt that (Its when I got blocked I'm talking about). I don't know. Or perhaps (and this would be an extreme coincidence) someone got blocked, but then their IP changed and you got their old IP. Or maybe some admin just made a mistake. I don't know, blleeuuurrgh! Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 20:12, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
I am the only one using this computer. Its my personal computer, and the internet connection is secured. Is it possible that two computers may have the same IP address ? If not, then how the hell was my account autoblocked ? Rkr1991 (talk) 03:51, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
If your IP is blocked and autoblock is enabled, you will not be able to edit from your account. -t'shaélchat 03:56, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Two computers can have the same IP address if they are part of the same intranet network. For instance, if you have a wireless router, all computers that connect to the Internet through it share one IP. In your case, is it possible your connection (I assume it's broadband) was down for a moment and then reset by your ISP? They may have assigned you a new IP when you reconnected. If your connection isn't "always on" through a router, and you're jumping in and out of the network, your ISP may be assigning you a new IP every time. Sorry, that's a bit rambly, but it's complicated stuff and it's 12:10 AM my time. :) Vicenarian (T · C) 04:10, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
I use a broadband connectio through a router, and I've never had any such problems, I'm afraid. I connect through Tata Indicom, and I'm pretty sure it's secured. Rkr1991 (talk) 09:49, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

←As far as I know IPs are computer/network specific and the only way for you and I, for instance, to have the same IP is if we are on the same network. A simple illustration of this principle: Computer A routes its internet through Computer C as does Computer X. Thusly, Computers A and X have the same IP address via their connection to the internet through Computer C. Is your IP dynamic or do you run a TOR? -t'shaélchat 09:55, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I'll stay out of this. Too complicated for me. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 10:23, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
I have no idea, all I know is just I have a Tata Indicom Broadband connection using a router on my personal computer. But thanks anyway for the help... Rkr1991 (talk) 13:59, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

More Problems

When I contact the two admins who helped me with the above problem (Closedmouth and Mufka) on their talkpage, I get no replies from either of them, like they are deliberately ignoring me. What do I do ? Rkr1991 (talk) 14:02, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

No, they likely aren't ignoring you, they may just be busy. You are able to edit here, so the autoblock has been lifted. If you were still blocked, the only page you could edit would be your own talk page. You shouldn't encounter any further blocking problems. Vicenarian (T · C) 14:08, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
No. I just wanted to thank them. Rkr1991 (talk) 14:19, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Probably busy, or in a different timezone. Admins have LOTS of work to do. :) Vicenarian (T · C) 14:23, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
The thing is, they have replied to threads after mine, so why didn't they reply to my thread ? Rkr1991 (talk) 14:34, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Get out of my talk page, Vicenarian. He's asking me ;) Anyway, did you check their talk pages for answers. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 15:46, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
I see. maybe they can't think of anything to say, or they don't have time, or they don't feel they need to respond. Or perhaps they got new messages, from someone else, and went straight to the newest post, and didn't notice yours. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 15:51, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

←Yup, I'm a terrible talk page stalker. Sorry, I can't help but try to be helpful! Vicenarian (T · C) 18:39, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help, you two...:-). Cheers. Rkr1991 (talk) 04:49, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I've been adopted !!

Know what, guys ? I've just been adopted by Dylon620(yes, the one and the same). Rkr1991 (talk) 13:20, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I saw him offering to do that on your talk page. I think he adopted Vicenarian (or was it T'Shael, I can't tell them apart anymore). I Am The Lizard King!! Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 20:15, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I'M WRITING IN CAPITALS BECAUSE I'M ANGRY

NO, REALLY, BUT I THOUGHT I SOUNDED FUNNY. I JUST FOUND OUT YOU'RE ADVERTISING YOURSELF ON MY SUBPAGES (AS WELL AS REFERING TO ME AS YOUR "SIDEKICK" (THAT'S A DIRECT QUOTE) FOR SOME TIME, WHICH KNEW ABOUT, BUT HAVE BEEN MEANING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT FOR SOME TIME. DON'T YOU THINK OVERLORD HAS A NICER RING TO IT?

OH WELL, ENOUGH SHOUTING - MY FINGERS HURT BECAUSE I'M HITTING THE KEYBOARD HARDER.

I'll add the archive box, and change sidekick to overlord. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 08:04, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
I've done the archive box, will add overlord in a minute. You are very persuasive. By the way, that Vulcan guy is called Jervert or something now, he got a name change. Maybe it's not Jervert, but it's something like that. You'll know it if you see it. Maybe Jarvis or Jersey or something. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 08:14, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Or Javert..;) Javért | Talk 08:18, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Whats Gmail. Sorry, I'm not good with these things. In fact, I'll probably wait until I get broadband internet. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 09:30, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
It's free, web-based email. It's what I use, as it's awesome. It has the official Javert seal of approval. Javért | Talk 09:32, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
I'm getting broadband in August. I'll wait until then. I bet thats why my edit count is so low, its because of the speed of my internet. It's happening to my page too. That thing about growing into long, unrelated discussion. I should wright an essay about that. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 09:35, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
If you do, I'll be sure and tag it for speedy deletion. :D Javért | Talk 09:45, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
FWIW, Gmail has the official VICENARIAN seal of approval, as well. Vicenarian (T · C) 19:12, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

"For What It's Worth" Vicenarian (T · C) 19:21, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Wait a minute...

Trying to pull the wool over me eyes are we?

I noticed that instead of changing "sidekick" to "overlord" like we agreed (or I told you atleast) you changed it to "sidekick/overlord".

I'm not really angry, just confused. How can anybody be a sidekick ad overlord to the same person. I mean they're on completely different levels of social standings! I worry if other people notice this inconsitancy, I will become a laughing stock.

--ScribbleStick (talk) 03:33, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

You hate your username? That makes two of us then. I meant to score sidekick out so it would look like this: sidekick/overlord. I forgot. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 08:36, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
You're already a laughing stock...in a good way I mean. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 09:46, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Editor

Hey John, been a long time. Anyway, there's this user called User:Kashmeri, who is using Aghajani Kashmeri as his userpage and Talk:Aghajani Kashmeri as his talk page via redirects. I know it's a he because on the article he uses a lot of first person, and says he is the son of the article's subject (within the article). Is he allowed to do this? I should know all this by now, yes, I've been here 5 months. But I don't. Sorry if I'm bothering you, I know you're pretty busy. Sorry. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 21:22, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

There is no way any editor is directly allowed to refer to themselves as an editor in any article. Nor do I think a redirect of the kind used here from a userpage to an article is acceptable, but I don't know if I've ever seen such before. Linking to the main article talk page from his user talk page is also not something I've ever seen anyone reference, but there's no way I can see that as being acceptable. My best bet would be to contact the Wikipedia:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers about this article, and leaving a message on the [{WP:AN]] or WP:ANI noticeboard about the redirects. Good catch, though. :) John Carter (talk) 21:32, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
