Just letting you know that this user has been going around inserting direct copypastes from the English Wikipedia. Razorflame (contributions) Talk 02:37, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just finished simplifying Harry Potter (character) a bit, but it's still fairly complex. It was a hard article to simplify. :( Lights talk 03:34, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is still much to simplify. I hope other people will come and help simplify it. I've got other articles I need to create, but if I have time, I will also attempt to simplify it. Razorflame (contributions) Talk 03:36, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I took the time to simplify the first 6-8 sections of the article. It's just too dang long and actually is quite a complex article to begin with. Razorflame (contributions) Talk 04:03, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly why it was hard for me to simplify it. Lights talk 13:39, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clock Template[change source]

Hey Lights, your clock template doesn't automatically update. Is there any reason for this? Razorflame (contributions) Talk 02:52, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Try purging the cache. Lights talk 02:53, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jackjack[change source]

I have reason to believe that this user is the same as the blocked IP address based upon how he signs his welcomes. Razorflame (contributions) Talk 04:06, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Already blocked. Cheers, Lights talk 13:38, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I posted this before that whole fiasco erupted with this user. I know that Creol already blocked him, it's just that, if you look at the logs, you'll see the huge amount of vandalism that he was able to cause before he was blocked. I had to get a steward from Meta involved. Razorflame (contributions) Talk 20:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, I never heard of a vandalism case where a steward from Meta had to sysop themself here to solve a case of vandalism. Another mass case of vandalism about a month ago was where 91.108.233.6 (talk · contribs), 91.108.244.201 (talk · contribs), 91.108.210.59 (talk · contribs), 91.108.255.205 (talk · contribs), 91.108.241.168 (talk · contribs), 91.108.240.11 (talk · contribs) and 91.108.207.171 (talk · contribs) vandalized many pages. All those IPs belonged to one vandal who changed his/her IP whenever one was blocked. The vandal was stopped when the IP range was blocked. ☆ Lights (talk) 21:13, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The only reason why I requested a steward from Meta to come over here and help was because I thought that there weren't any admins on at the time of the vandalism. He actually inserted pictures of an erect penis into my user talk...anyways, it wasn't really that big of a vandalism case. He mainly just created about 30-35 pages of the same thing (including pictures of a huge erect penis) and Creol was able to fix the situation (I didn't know Creol was on at the time).

Asteroids and other things[change source]

Heya Lights. Are there really thousands of asteroids out there?

I'm also wanting to ask if you would like to join the counter vandalism IRC channel? It has many good features including a bot that checks if there are any pages that have QD tags on them and the such. Are you any good with IRC? If you need help, ask me or Barliner or Creol for help.

Here's another piece of information: I have a new siggy! Thanks go out to Barliner for it. It's much cleaner than my old one.

Lastly, have a happy new year! Razor fla me 02:18, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there are thousands of asteroids, but I don't use IRC. Nice sig and happy new year to you too. ;-))) Cheers, ☆ Lights (talk) 02:21, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did you want me to semi-protect your new sig again to lower the chance of a vandal messing around with it? ☆ Lights (talk) 02:25, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, if you would be so kind (semi-protect for now) Razor fla me 02:26, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done ☆ Lights (talk) 02:27, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the silver part of my sig and made it limegreen. Now, it goes better with the red :) Thanks, too, for the protection. Razor fla me 02:28, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem (-: ☆ Lights (talk) 02:29, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Forgetting[change source]

Don't forget to stagger the deletions of your userspace pages :) Razor fla me 04:46, 30 December 2007 (UTC) God knows that if I were you, I'd be forgetting, too. Razor fla me 04:47, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, thanks for reminding me, I'll delete a few after I'm finished the asteroid article I'm working on right now. Cheers, ☆ Lights (talk) 04:49, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, just a friendly little reminder :) Razor fla me 18:38, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Warning JS[change source]

Hey there Lights...I have a very useful warning JS in my monobook.js. It automatically makes messages like Experimenting in Insert article name here and stuff like that. If you want it, feel free to copypaste from my monobook.js to yours. Also, can I get my monobook.js semi-protected please? Don't want any IP's editing it. Razor fla me 19:16, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That script doesn't work for me, it messes up everything, I tested it with the Show preview for my monobook.js. There's no need to semi-protect your monobook.js since only you and admins can edit it, so semi-protecting won't do anything. Cheers, ☆ Lights (talk) 19:25, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know that only you or admins can edit it, or I simply just forgot about that. Razor fla me 19:27, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A userbox for you![change source]

Here is a userbox created by yours truly that I think really expresses your editing status:

EE	This user is an excessive editor.

. Please feel free to add it to your userpage :) Razor fla me 20:27, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, thanks! ☆ Lights (talk) 20:29, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem. It fits you :) I also created 2 other userboxes: User:Razorflame/SEE and User:Razorflame/DE. :) Razor fla me 20:30, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. ;-))) What do you mean by 'This editor has disappeared into the mist.'? ☆ Lights (talk) 21:53, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inactive editors get that userbox :) Razor fla me 21:54, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice idea. Thanks for clearing that up. Cheers, ☆ Lights (talk) 21:56, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are userboxes allowed? Looking at Wikipedia:Userboxes, I am uncertain. Jet Lover ^Bam! 22:01, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't had anyone telling me to take mine off my userpage. Razor fla me 22:02, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's probably no consensus on whether they're aloud or not, the only consensus is that they are not aloud in the Template: namespace or mainspace. ☆ Lights (talk) 22:05, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed?[change source]

Do you think these two username are unacceptable: Fukr4ulady BrandoPimp

I do. Razor fla me 23:38, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they both can be offensive which is a violation of Wikipedia:username. ☆ Lights (talk) 23:40, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then you should block them as per the policy. Indefinite blocks are usually used for unappropriate usernames. Razor fla me 23:43, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just did ;-))) ☆ Lights (talk) 23:43, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed. :) There are your first inappropriate username blockages :) Razor fla me 23:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, all the others were due to vandalism;-))) Cheers, ☆ Lights (talk) 23:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't forget to warn the users of the pages you delete :) Razor fla me 02:42, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done ;-))) ☆ Lights (talk) 02:56, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
