Heyy

Long time no see dude. Happy Halloween! --APShinobi ^{My Contribs} 14:05, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Have you tried out Fallout 3 yet? It is amazing. --APShinobi ^{My Contribs} 15:03, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

No, I'm waiting for EndWar which launches tomorrow, didn't bother trying/buying any releases in the last month. –xeno (talk) 15:13, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Ya, I got EndWar preordered and paid in full =D I also got Gears 2 paid up. Exciting month for games! --APShinobi ^{My Contribs} 15:31, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

AIV Console

I just sent you an email with my latest build with a new (minor) feature and hopefully it'll run for you. I'll also ask another admin. I fixed the exit code too, for some reason it wasn't actually closing the process sometimes. Let me know. DavidWS (talk) 13:12, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually, see aivconsole dot googlecode dot com, but yeah, whenever you get around to it. One admin confirmed that it did work. DavidWS (talk) 21:42, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Response

Hey xeno, dont worry about that clan thing any more. It was there idea and they i knew i was good with Wikipedia. I staarted it but then eventually turned it down due to the lack of effort from my friends to help me. So you can delete the account all together cause weve moved to wikidot for the wiki and the main website is still a freewebs. Don't worry about me good old friend. I'm fine. Cheerio!--Ezekiel 7:19 ^†alk 19:53, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

I would prefer a respnse on my own talk page for this matter. Thanks, Cheerio!--Ezekiel 7:19 ^†alk 19:55, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Yea I'll take that out man don't worry. Your the best admin ever, if you were nominated to be a beurocrat (or however its spelt) than i would definently vote for you despite the fact that i couldnt.

ZipDX Deletion

HI. I'm new to posting on Wikipedia and just had a page deleted -- ZipDX. Could you please send the deleted page to me, so I can dissect it and try to figure out where I went wrong? I reviewed a lot of other entries before posting and thought I was in line. I'm not really sure how my ZipDX entry was different from ooma or Intercall or even Snom. But I'd like to try to figure it out and repost. Thanks for your help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Widebandfan (talk) 23:19, 3 November 2008 (UTC) Widebandfan

Adoption

Hello! I've been looking around for an experienced user to "formally" adopt me (classroom-like setup). I was wondering if you were currently adopting. Thanks for your time. Chrishy 23:28, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Lateral Link entry update

Hi Xenocidic, I have revised the Lateral Link entry in hopes that it nows satisfies the inclusion criteria. I have deleted and revised the body of the article as well as added more reliable secondary sources within the references section. Please take a look at the revised article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:LegalB123/Lateral_Link#References and let me know if more revisions are still needed.

Many thanks, LegalB123 (talk) 16:50, 6 November 2008 (UTC)LegalB123

I'll try to take a look today some time. If any talk page stalkers could help, that would be appreciated =). –xeno (talk) 13:59, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

<tps>Notability is not at all in question due to the Wall St. Journal profile. LegalB123, if you could show which parts of the article is referencing information from which of your References by using inline citations, the article would be off to a great start. To see how to do this, check out WP:REFB. Great work so far! </tps>the skomorokh 14:16, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Much appreciate skomorokh... Legal, here is an example of how to do the inline citation: [1] (the third part of the edit incorporates your first ref to tag it to the "founding by harvard alumni" statement). –xeno (talk) 14:17, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Admin

Hey you, don't know if you remember me but i'm BBHS. Even if its nice to harass other admins its getting a bit borring and i don't really see the need to come back as a new sockpuppet every freaking day. They don't like it i don't like it. Another way... right. --Rockshappycow (talk) 13:51, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

My reply here.

Can you talk to matthewedwards to me, Scarian keeps reverting my edits so i can't contact him and has blocked hes talk page. Scarian is having a personnal vendetta against me Do me this favour unblock my BBHS talk page and convice Scarian i'm not permanently banned okay. --Urgedwhat (talk) 15:48, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I've tweaked it so you can issue an unblock request on your talk page. –xeno (talk) 16:10, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: BBHS

I must respectfully disagree with your decision to allow him to prepare an unblock template (He's done so several times before, all rejected). This user does not have Wikipedia's best interests at heart and he is a prolific sockpuppeteer. Do you know the extent at which he has sockpuppeted? We're talking dozens of accounts just to disrupt Wikipedia. I must protest that unblocking him would be a gross injustice to Wikipedia. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 16:24, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't really see the harm in allowing him to present his case. IMO there was not sufficient disruption on his talk page to justify blocking him off of it. At this point I haven't argued for or against an unblock, but I respectfully contend that locking him out of his talk page is not appropriate. –xeno (talk) 16:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually I believe there was just cause. He had ample opportunity to use an unblock template, but, instead, he used it to bait other users and "gloat" about his vast array of socks. If that's not misuse of talk pages then I don't know what is. He just wanted an argument, to be honest, my friend. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 16:47, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I know, but I still think blocking of the user talk page should be reserved for people who use it to spam recent changes, table-based goatse, etc. If a user is blowing off steam on his talk page it can be ignored. –xeno (talk) 17:19, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Important Question

Let's say an editor, (maybe not me, maybe somebody else) went to a certain project page (could be Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2008/Candidate statements, might not be, don't ask me) and impulsively decided to nominate themselves with only "WP:WTHN?" in place of the statement. What would happen to said (purley ficticious) editor?--Koji† 03:23, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

AIV Console?

I haven't talked to you in a while, and I was wondering if you are still interested in continuing to test my program. _David^WS _(contribs) 18:38, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Erm yea I've just kinda been sidetracked lately... My PC at home is on its last legs so I haven't been using it that much... Sorry... I'll see if I can get it working here at work. –xeno (talk) 19:09, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

It's fine :D I'm going to see if I can obtain +sysop at testwiki, and then I'll probably be able to develop it on my own. _David^WS _(contribs) 19:20, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

You could always have a go over here... –xeno (talk) 19:22, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to wait a little longer for taking that plunge. The generally accepted timeframe is six months from joining, it seems. I was thinking around mid December. Otherwise, I feel a snowstorm coming on :P. _David^WS _(contribs) 19:27, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

So, anyway, let me know if you want the latest build. What's wrong with your home computer, just curious? _David^WS _(contribs) 19:54, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

High pitched whine out of the hard drive... It's about to kick the bucket. It's also reaalllly outdated. It's all about the 360 for me these days. –xeno (talk) 20:06, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Ah, yikes, that's never a good noise. Do you have a spare hard drive ready to install :D? Anyway, yeah, just let me know. Also, on a side note, where would a general consensus-finding discussion of the "Be Black Hole Sun" case go? I was guessing WP:AN. I think I might start it. Cheers (and good luck with your computer), _David^WS _(contribs) 20:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

WP:AN is the correct venue. And I would be much obliged if you could start it up =) As far as the computer, no, no spare hard drive ready but I have backed up all my stuff onto my external USB drive. I'm just gunna buy a package PC, I don't have the energy or time to build my own PCs anymore. –xeno (talk) 20:21, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

gasp not build your own computer?!? Nah, I see where you are coming from. Well, I'll go start the discussion, I posted a few comments on his talk page. I feel he deserves a last chance, and I also don't think whether or not he gets that chance should be the opinion of one sysop. _David^WS _(contribs) 20:26, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

 Done, see WP:AN#User:Be_Black_Hole_Sun_and_his_socks.... _David^WS _(contribs) 20:32, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Awesome, I have +sysop at testwiki and progressed leaps and bounds. Check out the google code page for 0.2 which lets you choose whether or not to allow the user to edit their own talk page, notifies the user using Template:GBlock that the have been blocked, and has a few bug fixes. Let me know, _David^WS _(contribs) 01:24, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay, it'll work on your computer now, bundled it with the OCX you were probably missing. Version 0.2.3 with support for custom blocking times, yay. _David^WS _(contribs) 17:25, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Seeking Information from a Deleted Page (SRBLSA)

Good evening,

My name is Allison Monyei and I am the acting Historian for the Southern Region of the Black Law Students Association. Our organization is actively trying to reclaim its history and we fear that some might have been lost when this page was deleted and merged into the national organization's page. I am not asking for the page to be reactivated; I would like access to the information so that I may have it for our archives if it is valuable.

The name of the page is Southern Region of the Black Law Students Association (SRBLSA). I sincerely hope that you are able to help or at least direct me in the direction that I should go.

Your help is much appreciated! 68.107.199.36 (talk) 04:16, 11 November 2008 (UTC)Allison Monyei

New Version

Check out [2]. I added as close to huggle like diffs as I code. Now it displays a list of the user's recent 50 changes. (I did the diffonly=1 thing that J.delanoy suggested on Addshore's page). You click on the edit you want to see, and then a button, and it shows you the diff to the right. You can also view previous blocks and it shows the reporter's comments below the userlist. I also did some internal improvements. Let me know, _David^WS _(contribs) 00:48, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I am aware of that bug. I've fixed it in my local copy and after the next vandals are reported to AIV (I want to make sure my regular expression works), I'm going to upload it. By the way, are you good with coding? _David^WS _(contribs) 14:02, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

If by "good" you mean "can you program a basic app in Turing" and if by "can you program a basic app in Turing" you mean "could you program a basic app in Turing 10 years ago", then, yes, I am good in coding ;p –xeno (talk) 14:23, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Hehe! Okay, I posted the latest version on googlecode. I now use regular expressions to match the vandals, so I can kiss a lot of bugs goodbye. Check it out, _David^WS _(contribs) 14:54, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Rawr...for some reason that version crashes when running compiled, but not when running from within the IDE. *Sigh* Don't bother with it for now, I'll work on fixing it. _David^WS _(contribs) 15:10, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Remember this article? Truthful data (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is vandalizing the article every forthnight without the slightiest offer of discussion whatsoever. I suppose the only solution would be to either full-protect the article indefinitelly or block the user (also indef), but I suspect that'll just yield us some socks. Another Idea would be to list the article at AfD for lack of notability, which could also solve the vandalism (as there's nothing to vandalize...). Any thoughts? --PaterMcFly (talk) 16:40, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Indef'd but you could also AFD it if you think the article's subject isn't notable (doubt it would succeed though, that sequence of events seems to push them into notability). –xeno (talk) 16:41, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

These were my thoughts, too. Although I still don't know what's really going on here. Let's see whether the user is finally finding his talk page. I'd also keep an eye on the article and, should any socks appear, list them directly at AIV. --PaterMcFly (talk) 19:13, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

If you click preview on that edit, the boxes appear at the bottom, but if you look at that saved revision of the page, they do not appear after save. I figured out that it was because there wasn't enough text to bring it all down below the infoboxes far enough, so I eventually just made the reflist one column instead of two. Do you know any way around that? It's not like the reflist must be two columns, but I think it looks better. Also, even in its current form, the edit links for three sections appear right next to each other, and not next to the sections themselves...I can turn them off, I think, but how about having them show up in the right place? Thanks!  Frank  |  talk  12:36, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

The current version looks ok to me... –xeno (talk) 20:32, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

What about [edit] [edit] [edit] showing up below the bottom of the first infobox instead of at the edge of each section heading? And if you look at previous revs with 2-column refs...no good.  Frank  |  talk  20:49, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

I fixed the infobox thing, don't know about the other. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 20:55, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks - I don't know where you find the time, but it looks perfect now. (2-column still doesn't work, though.)  Frank  |  talk  21:39, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't worry about the edit-sec buttons bunching up, that's just what happens when there's infoboxes and small sections like that... –xeno (talk)

Admin Coaching

Hi Xenocidic! Are you currently giving admin coaching to students? If so would you be interested helping me out with it? I want a coach and I can't find a admin that I know that would do it. Thanks SteelersFan94 19:29, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm flattered but I'm really not as active as I used to be... I also think I'm probably a little inexperienced to be an admin coach, I'm not even sure what I would say... If there's any questions you need answering though, let me know. –xeno (talk) 20:31, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

O.K, thanks anyway, and don't say your "inexperienced to be an admin coach" your one of the most active user's I see on here! Best wishes, and happy editing! SteelersFan94 20:54, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Delete.

Could you delete this User:SkyWalker/Userboxes and User:SkyWalker/Status. Iam making preparation to leave. I have not decided when. Thanks. --SkyWalker (talk) 07:37, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Hrm, I'm sorry to hear this, but it is  Done. –xeno (talk) 13:34, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks.. :)--SkyWalker (talk) 13:36, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Need help with vandalism user

Hi xeno - since you posted the welcome on my talk page, you voted yourself 'lucky guy that I bug with my problems' :) An IP user 156.34.215.217 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) has been posting repeated vandalism to the Brandon Crisp article, and so I spent the time to figure out what to do beyond undoing over and over - I posted a polite warning to his talk, another user posted a strong warning talk (both of which the user deleted from his talk), and then I posted him on the Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism page. The intervention comment was removed without action taken (or comment given back to me or in the history of the intervention page about why action may not have been taken), so now I'm out of 'next steps' to take, beyond possibly tossing up my hands and running away.... suggestions on how to handle situations like this? --GGG65 (talk) 23:30, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Getting more eyes on the situation is always a good thing... Per this diff, it seems that the AIV report may have been mis-read by the admin... I'll keep an eye on it... - Adolphus79 (talk) 23:36, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I looked at the AIV history but I missed that comment that you pointed out (isn't there an easier way too see an AIV response than trying to find just the right diff to display?). But this IP user is really starting to piss me off - he seems to have an almost infinite amount of time to waste having re-vandalized the page 9 times in 2 days. So, the answer is to keep posting in AIV if the vandalism continues? And if it really is a shared IP, then tough luck? Seems like a lot of wasted time. I'll go hunting to see how I can request the page be semi-protected again, at least that will give me a few days of peace... --GGG65 (talk) 05:37, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

If he re-offends, let me know or re-report to AIV - don't mention the removal of talk page warnings as this is permissible (just complicates the issue reporting it). –xeno (talk) 13:19, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks xeno - and the reason I mentioned the removal of the talk page warnings is that on one of the Wiki vandalism-related help pages it said that if a user removes the talk page warnings then it is a proof that they have seen and read the warning, and is therefore a useful fact. Unfortunately the one thing that is missing (or that I haven't found) is a very simple step-by-step for doing stuff like AIV reports, etc etc. It's a steep learning curve :) --GGG65 (talk) 17:36, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

If you haven't yet, you might want to read the guide to using AIV... - Adolphus79 (talk) 17:46, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

A friendly note, GGG65, you want to make sure to use the correct article in your future reports. You have been using Brandon Crisp in all your reports so far, but that is only a redirect, the actual article is Disappearance of Brandon Crisp... - Adolphus79 (talk) 16:00, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

The shorter one is easier to spell :) Plus, I'm in favour of moving the article name, but that's an entirely different topic. I'll try to use the full name in future. Thanks. --GGG65 (talk) 17:36, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Page move.

Could you histmerge this article Tenchu 4: Art of the Ninja to Tenchu: Shadow Assassins that person copied pasted to the new article. --SkyWalker (talk) 14:42, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

 Done –xeno (talk) 16:34, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. --SkyWalker (talk) 18:34, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Another pagemove

Could you help me move Smokefree Coalition (SFC) over the redirect at Smokefree Coalition, for naming format purposes? I would do it myself, but I don't think a delete then move is the proper way to go... - Adolphus79 (talk) 18:01, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

 Done –xeno (talk) 18:22, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks

		The RfA Barnstar
		Xeno, I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent Request for Adminship, which passed with 112 supports, 4 opposes and 5 neutrals. A special mention goes out to Stwalkerster and Pedro for nominating me, thanks a lot for having trust in me! In response to the neutrals, I will try to double check articles that have been tagged for speedy deletion before I CSD them and will start off slowly with the drama boards of ANI and AN to ensure that I get used to them. In response to the oppose !votes on my RfA, I will check that any images I use meet the non-free content criteria and will attempt to handle any disputes or queries as well as I can. If you need my help at all, feel free to simply ask at my talk page and I'll see if I can help. Once again, thank you for your participation, and have a great day! :) The Helpful One 22:06, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

design by neurolysis | to add this barnstar to your awards page, simply copy and paste {{subst:User:Neurolysis/THOBS}} and remove this bottom text | if you don't like thankspam, please accept my sincere apologies

No problem, but my name is not BASEPAGENAME!!! =) Congrats. –xeno (talk) 22:33, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Am I missing something, or did it not display right for you? At any rate, I promise never to call you {{BASEPAGENAME}} in my RfA thankspam, should the need arise. :-) Jclemens (talk) 02:07, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

eh, I just think it's funny when thank spam doesn't subst the magic word =) –xeno (talk) 13:23, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh by the way...

If you've gotten your new computer (or feel like trying this), the latest version of AIV Console has been out _David^WS _(contribs) 22:55, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

RfA...

A while back you said you might be interested in co-nom'ng me if someone else did the coaching/nom. Well, if you are still interested, Bibliomaniac15 just started my nom, and I would be honored to have you as a co-nom. Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Adolphus79... - Adolphus79 (talk) 02:03, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Looks like it's going well, best of luck! –xeno (talk) 13:24, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Help

Hi xeno, could you please take a look at my userpage and tell me where i've gone wrong? If possible, could you also fix it for me? Cheers! JS (chat) 23:41, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

I would hazard a (humorous) comment that where you went wrong was all those userboxes, but I think this is more along the lines of the fix you were looking for... let me know if that's not it... - Adolphus79 (talk) 23:49, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

My reply is here JS (chat) 23:51, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Cheers

Just dropped by to say I had to use some of your stuff for my user page (like how to create a infobox and redirect to wikipedia from wiktionary), so thanks. By the why have you adopted me or something you seem to have? By the way I am changing my user page still if you want to see it, but I amde need your help for some of it, so feel free to edit it; then again you may decide not affiliate with it after what you last show on there (and it wasn't porn, especially seal porn I don't watch it, no one reply to that please) I have cheacked out a load of stuff you put on my discussion page by the way, it real help to get me started.

Wahoo, sorry you may not have noticed (not many people notice me), but I was not logged in when I did the other thing, but now I am sorry, by the way iss there any chance of getting rid of the wikipedia IP thing from its history, like all permenant like. --Nikolai Angel Patreilyiov 21:09, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

nope, sorry... it might fall off after a few years, but no time soon... - Adolphus79 (talk) 21:10, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Neh, alright then, not like any strange people can get hold of any of them, find out the meaning of life and then hold Earth to ransom over it can they. They can't right ? PLEASE TELL ME THEY CAN'T, I'm so afraid --Nikolai Angel Patreilyiov 17:17, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Excellent... - Adolphus79 (talk) 21:17, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

P.S. try to remember to sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) so who we know who you are...

Sure thing person I do not know and probably never will, sorry about the spelling before; I have to save the page before making the internal link to my page for some strange reason --Nikolai Angel Patreilyiov 17:17, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

You keep hanging around shady places of teh wiki like AN/X, you'll get to know me... - Adolphus79 (talk) 17:57, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Review

To xeno or TPS's, could you please take a look at my handling of this situation here and give an opinion as to how i'm handling it? I'd love some feedback here, as i've never been in a situation like this before and i'd like to know if i'm handling this situation correctly! Thanks JS (chat) 19:55, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

It looks like clean work on your part... if you are sure he's a sock puppet, I would recommend that you file a SSP report... - Adolphus79 (talk) 19:59, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

User:Whahwhah was created today just 15 minutes before User:Bluesmanyeah and Bluesmanyeah started vandalising the page just 1 minute after Whahwhah's initial vandalism. I believe this to be a clear cut case of one person trying to perform sneaky vandalism. It nearly worked as well, if I hadn't double checked the page I would'nt have noticed the vandalism by Whahwhah. I'm not sure wheather he's done enough damage to warrent a WP:SSP report though. If you still think I should file a report, please let me know here! Cheers :-) JS (chat) 20:13, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

With the one accout only having one edit, and with them not being the same type of vandalism (no regualr pattern), it would be a stretch to assume. I think you could probably hold off on the SSP report unless he/she/it keeps using both accounts in the same manner. - Adolphus79 (talk) 20:35, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the thoughts Adolphus, it's really appreciated! I shall hold off making a report. I actually expect him to continue his attempts to make me look like a vandal on my talk page and hopefully he'll leave the article alone and eventually move on. Again, thanks!
