wrongly accused

You commented on my user page for something I did not do. I don't see any other way to contact you, but I wanted to let you know. -68.46.232.45

:)

How can you possibly have wasted so much time on wikipedia when the current edit counter shows no edits? Simply south 16:43, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

The one that is no longer active, on your userpage. Try Interiot's "wannabe kate" edit counter, if a little slow, or Tango Tango's. I found these quite good but i am suggesting these as Essjay's is not working anymore either

Simply south 16:54, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

OOOOPPPSS!!! (sorry for the railbox)

The one in the userbox currently links to Interiot's old tool. Simply south 16:58, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

No problem, thanks. Looks like you're more active than me. I'm yet to break the 4000 mark. Simply south 17:09, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

i can't spell either!

Re: Block

It has indeed become apparent that the person editing under 86.86.242.88 is intentionally vandalising, but please change the block to a temporary one. It's an IP address, and you could be permanently preventing more than one person from editing. --Gray Porpoise^{cetaceans have large brains} 22:32, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

It is a softblock, so accounts can be registered by editors if they want to contribute constructively. I can reduce the block, though. (aeropagitica) 22:34, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Good Job

Good job archiving your talk page^{it needed it}. Also I commented on your WP:ER. I have been having a hard time reverting vandalism today mainly because vandalism is so low today. So I have forced my self to wiki-fy articles and participate in *gulp* AFD's. Have a nice day.--^ॐ Seadog ^ॐ 23:24, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

language wiki

Dear FP,

I don't know of a wiki like this, thiugh it is a good idea. I made up a language and would wish to publish it. If you do find out please tell me. What is your language like, by the way? I'm using a blackberry right now so please excuse me if there is any misspellings, late response, etc.

Good luck!!!!,

cool and I'll think about it. Mine is a mutated version of Latin that has so many characters that even Chinese people can't remember. Nice sig. Randfan 00:56, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Vandal Fighting

Thanks for the kind words about my vandal fighting. I made my own templates because I didn't particurly like the others. Also I crossed the 2000 edit mark. And I have been doing a lot of maintenance work lately such as New page patrolling and Recent changes and also I have been doing a task that will take a while; Rating all the Hinduism articles on the quality scale. I started on the stubs earlier and still have a long way to go. I have really set my wiki-mind on my RFA that I will wish to start in February, is there anything that I can do to improve my chances.--^ॐ Seadog ^ॐ 02:08, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Since you asked, I think it's fine as currently formatted. The longish parenthesized question in it I'm assuming is temporary, cause that part I would refactor. —Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 12:18, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

List of cetacea

I made a list of cetacea page which i have put up for peer review to see what else could be done. My ultimate aim is to get this as a Featured List so that the project has a feature list to go with the 9 FAs. Chris_huh^talk 12:02, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the Barnstar...I never knew that their was such thing as a culture barnstar. I do love religion articles (of course Hinduism) but now I am branching out to the whole sector of Mythology. I created 2 articles (stubs) today. Thanks again.--Seadog ^♪ 22:22, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I just edited animalia

I deleted the part in Animalia about the dating of the Animalia Kingdom based upon evolutionary dating and techniques, because the last time I checked, a NPOV site doesn't have any affiliation with any beliefs, and that dating is inaccurate. There's an EvoWiki where that dating is acceptable; on Wikipedia I hoped I didn't have to deal with self-righteous stuck-up editors who wished as much as to impose their beliefs and dogmatic religion on us.

Barn star Porpoise

Good Job!

Well you gave me a b-star for my work on Hinduism related articles, now I am going to give you this award for your amazing work on cetacean related articles, Congratulations! It is amazing how many different types of people (young/old, Hindu/Christian, Guitar lover/Porpoise lover) work together to create a great encyclopedia. Also I just got finished working on this article, It was not very high quality before but now I think it is looking better. What do you think? Have a nice day.--Seadog ^♪ 19:17, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Improvements to the Psychology portal

Hi, I'm working on trying to get Portal:Psychology up to Featured portal status. Any tips you can offer on how to improve it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Rfrisbie^talk 16:05, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey buddy

I noticed your edit to the WikiDefcon template the other day. I think the developers recently changed the Wiki software to automatically generate edit summaries if a person leaves them blank, which is why these vandals are "pointing out that they're vandalizing". More info here. —Lantoka ^{( talk | contrib)} 02:54, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for directing me to that. It seems to make a useful vandal-fighting tool, nevertheless. --Gray Porpoise 03:25, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

How convenient! I almost took advantage of the summaries to revert some vandalism, but AntiVandalBot beat me to it. --Gray Porpoise 03:28, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Yah man, AntiVandalBot is all over page blankings. Anything that shows up in bold on VandalProof AntiVandalBot almost always gets before me. It's a great tool. Props to Tawker/Cyde. Really accurate too. Anyway, I'll see ya around on patrol. ;) —Lantoka ^{( talk | contrib)} 03:30, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Motto

Hi, good idea about putting the motto back. I guess it was a little weird to revert that article. I thought it was obvious vandalism since I read it rather quickly. I still do not know what to think about it. Also I accidentally clicked on the wrong link in your sig and it lead me to a Featured Portal nomination.

Vandalism

Just for the record I just reverted vandalism on the Dolphin article.__Seadog ^♪ 20:00, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

You are welcome...I just thought I would let you know that. Also thank you for supporting the Hinduism barnstar, I just received one today! On another bizarre note I am less than 50 edits away from having 1,000 mainspace edits.__Seadog ^♪ 23:49, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I know I am just so happy that I reached some of my wiki-goals in a timespan of 3 months. Next stop 4,000! And another thing I am going to probably going to hold off even longer before launching my RFA maybe even another year! This is due to the sock incedent that happened when I was a newcomer (I almost forgot that it happened) :(__Seadog ^♪ 20:41, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reassuring comments, it is all I have been thinking about wiki-thinking about latly. I am scared to even touch socks in Real life!

How can you list an article as being needed to be created if the talk page wouldn't exist to add the category to? Chris_huh^talk 22:24, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Oooohh, ok that makes sense. I could make one, but i don't know how useful it would be, i don't think the project is really large enough for that, but maybe it wouldn't hurt.Chris_huh^talk 22:36, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Dear Gray Porpoise, I Seadog ^♪ am nominating you for administratorship. I have no doubts that you deserve this authority as you have displayed editing excellence.

I wish you the best

I have to say, few oppose positions have pained me more than the one I feel I must take on your RfA, because I really appreciate your calm demeanor and substantial contributions. So I do hope that there are no hard feelings, and I also don't intend for my oppose to derail your nomination. I'm sure you will make a fine admin, and I think I already said everything else I needed to on your RfA. Best of luck, —Doug Bell ^talk 22:38, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey Gray Porpoise, thanks for reminding me about the minor edit that I wanted to "Iranian" on my user page. I had it in the back of my mind a month ago and completely forgot to do it all together :P....too much school work and RC patrolling I guess.

Re: Template:Readable Leet

Um, no. Besides, you didn't do it properly. Reverting. --RedPooka 22:42, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

By doing that, you created an unnecessary Redirect Page, and also everyone who was using the template at the time would have had that template replaced the redirect page. Well, it's complicated. :S --RedPooka 22:46, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

The Simpsons vandalism

I see that you just reverted yet another incident of vandalism by an anonymous user seemingly bent on disruption. Please place a warning on his or her talk page about the vandalism, and I will have an administrator give him a block. Thanks. ---Charles 00:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you...It is interesting when you can read something and relate to something completely different. I noticed that you have answered your new questions on your RFA which is very, very good. I never knew that you would like to be a crat, Well in another year or so I will have to nominate you for that also. What is sad though is that one of my Wiki-friends rfa isn't going so well, He has worked very hard and originally it started off very good but then went down hill from there. Cheers and good luck.__Seadog ^♪ 04:44, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes constructive criticism is good for every body and will always help. Also I changed my sig so that the musical note would be part of the userpage link also since I prefer to keep my whole sig short. I do this since I have seen sigs that take up the whole editing window before! And no I do not participate in any other wikipedias other than the rare anon edits such as linking to here (the other languages section). Recently I have been studying various RFA's including yours and comparing them to my edits. I do this since I would like to have an over all feel for what others like and dis-like. Cheers!__Seadog ^♪ 05:01, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I basically copied off of others such as User:Kylu for my userpage and my talk page is my own personal creation. The dog has become rather famous in sniffing out vandalism, personal attacks and even trolling! On a bizarre note...My userpage has not been vandalised at all lately since a rather infamous sock puppet vandal and his 10+ other sock puppets got blocked. Creepy...but my talk page is vandalised constantly.__Seadog ^♪ 05:09, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Glad you noticed...I just said that for fun since you commented on it at your RFA. Also my edit summery percentages have jumped up to 100% for major and 100% for minor edits.__Seadog ^♪ 05:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh you are welcome :D My talk page once again was vandalised! I do not know what is going on, for some reason the vandals would rather vandalise my talk page. Oh and the mood was crying because I was listing to Brahms concerto no. 2 3rd movement, which is very, very sad. I usually listen to classical music when I am editing. Cheers.--Seadog ^♪ 00:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Let me be the first to congratulate you

I know your RfA has not been closed yet, but it has passed the deadline and survived the guantlet. Soon a bureaucrat will be along to hand you a mop and although I was one of the few opposes, I wanted to be the first to congratulate you. I have kept an eye on your RfA because although I voted oppose, I did not want the RfA to fail. Had opposes based on my objections started to accumulate, I would have withdrawn my oppose, because as I stated above here, it was not my intention to derail your RfA. —Doug Bell ^talk 19:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, you warned me for creating an article that I merely tagged for speedy deletion. I didn't receive an edit conflict notice or a request for confirmation to create a new page, so I don't think I mistakenly recreated it after the deletion, but if I did it was in error.

Congrats and a question

Congratulations on your recent successful RfA! One quick question, is there a policy/guideline regarding the appropriateness of linking difficult terms or words to the Wiktionary entry? Reason I am asking: on a few occasions I have come across a needlessly difficult or seldom used word in an article and I am not sure if I should replace it with a clearer word/phrase or if it is preferred that the word be linked its Wiktionary entry.

Is there anyway we could simulate an environment an admin may be placed in? Particularity, in a somewhat heated situation, such as a user angered over being blocked.
