Hi! Just wanted to welcome you to WikiProject Computer science. Looking forward to collaborating with you in the future. --Allan McInnes (talk) 17:23, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Legend of Zelda series

I have no objection to the removal of 'celebrated'; it's superfluous info, but I don't think it conveys a POV. It is pretty easy to document that Miyamoto is celebrated — just read the article about him to see the accolades and honors bestowed upon him. I just wanted to tone it down from what said before: 'legendary' :) — mjb 00:24, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Legendary is definitely unecessary. Pegasus1138 00:26, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

With apologies for the impersonal AWB-ness of the message... Thanks for your support on my recent request for adminship. It passed at 91/1/0, and I hope I can continue to deserve the community's trust. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you, and if I make a mistake be sure to tell me. My talk page is always open. (ESkog)^(Talk) 02:49, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I'm sure you receive many thanks for your reverting of vandalized user pages, but I really do appreciate it. Grika Ⓣ 16:21, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RFA

Thank you for supporting my successful request for adminship. I'll try to put the admin tools to good and responsible use. If I do anything wrong you know where to find me. Raven4x4x 08:46, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Hi! Thanks for your support in my request for adminship. It ended with a tally of (51/0/0). As an administrator, I hope to better help this project and its participants: if you have any question or request, please let me know (I also plan to eat less Web cookies in the future, but that's another story ;-). - Liberatore(T) 12:35, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RFA

For the links you posted ([1], [2], [3]), which ones were you having problems with? And what browser are you using? I tried all three in Firefox, and Internet Explorer, and they all seemed to work properly. Can you be more specific about what problems you're seeing? --Interiot 15:47, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Community assent

Hello. Thanks for your vote on Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:Community_assent. I disagree with the deletion, as the guidelines are to let proposals go through an approval or rejection. If the proposal is really not accepted, I rather have it rejected properly. I hope there are parts that do work for validation. I see you disagree and think that it is an "end-run" despite the evidence that clearly shows the attempts originated a year ago rather then recently because of a 3RR. Consider that the 3RR page was my first attempt to update some policy text and this proposal is my first attempt to create a guideline, I'm shocked that a few users labeled it an "end-run" attempt. I had to look up the expression to understand it! :) Well, again... hello! Welcome to Wikipedia! — Dzonatas 21:11, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Thank you for your support in my request for adminship. I'm delighted that the RfA succeeded with a final consensus of 52/17/7, and receiving comments including having 'excellent potential to become a great moderator', and I am now an administrator. It did however only just pass, and I shall do my very best to rectify any of my errors, including the general belief that I should do more article work. If you have any concerns, or if you ever feel that I may be able to help you, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Again, thank you!

Image:Indischer...

Thanks for the note! Now, I think the edited image should be loaded over the original one, right? (On WP or Commons?) Will you do it, or shall I? --Janke | Talk 06:30, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

I'm leaving this macrophage, a particularly hungry white blood cell on your talk page, I just finished a rewrite of its article and realized they're not so different from administrators, as they keep their surroundings clean, doing away with anything that's not supposed to be there...
Anyway, with that short lecture on cell biology done with, I'd like to thank you for your vote on my RfA, which passed with (49/2/0), I'll do my best to not let you down, and if you see me heading towards a common newbie mistake, please nudge me in the right direction :)

Rollback

Just so you know, rollback isn't limited to administrators. Anyone can implement it with some simple javascript code (which is widely available), and produce edit summaries like "Reverted edits by X to last version by Y". It's just a simple way of reverting when the change is trivially obvious. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-03-9 21:06

Sockpuppet?

It is highly unusual for a user to be so familiar with Wikipedia's policies, procedures, and inner-workings from the very beginning of their editing here, which is something you've been doing since your very first edits. Can you explain this? — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-03-9 21:15

So you could just be a separate account of a current user who is neither a vandal, troll, blocked, or banned? I would just like to know how you became so knowledgeable prior to making edits. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-03-9 22:31

Cleanup

Hi. You've just edited Apple Records discography with a summary of "clean up using AWB". What kind of cleanup just destubs an obviously incomplete article? --kingboyk 03:32, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Despite being incomplete the article is obviously too long to be considered a stub. Pegasus1138^{Talk | Contribs | Email} ---- 03:34, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Considered by whom?

Wikipedia:Stub: "Stubs are Wikipedia entries that have not yet received substantial attention from the editors of Wikipedia, and as such do not yet contain enough information to be considered real articles. In other words, they are short or insufficient pieces of information and require additions to further increase Wikipedia's usefulness."

Who ever heard of a discography without albums?

AWB is a very powerful tool and I'd caution you to use it carefully. In particular, if you're destubbing then change the edit summary to reflect that. You didn't clean the article at all, you simply destubbed it. --kingboyk 03:38, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop right now. This is a pointless edit [4] and so is [5] this. I've removed you from the AWB list temporarily and will issue a short block to enforce that removal if you don't stop using AWB right now, and go back and read the rules about it's usage. You have broken pretty much every rule on that list. --kingboyk 03:56, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As per discussion on my talk page I've added you back. --kingboyk 04:16, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

vandalism

Excuse me Mr(s). Pegasus1138, but you are accusing the wrong person. It is Netscott, who reversed my edits again, who is the vandal. Repeating a religios insult, we should just report about, is vandalism and not linkimaging the blasphemous cartoons. Raphael1 12:27, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiethics

Based on the discussion at other places, I suspect it is not going to fly anywhere as soon as they bring it up for voting. If they just leave it as it is without voting, I am perfectly happy to nominate it for deletion. And just let them go for the time being, what you do is also censoring. --KimvdLinde 00:12, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

justify?!?!

Regarding the reversion of my contribution on Submission (film): I never wanted to justify anything. I just wanted to add to the film description. What a sick thought, that a transparent dress in a film could justify murder!! Raphael1 01:57, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism and Violation

It is a polite warn to you that you are already violating Wiki policies. You are vandalizing Wikipedia:Wikiethics discussion page. And you are violating 3R rule. We the editors of the page already decided to have a poll later whan the policy is mature. You do not have the right to start a poll or destruct the information in it. Stop vandalizing. You can of course try to contribute to the page for an improvement. I can see that you prefer starting an edit war and vandalizing. YOur choice... Resid Gulerdem 02:17, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why do not respect to the community. We decided to have the poll later. Why you cannot see this point? WHen it is mature, we definitely look for a poll. Why you are taking this issue so personal. If it not a good policy, it will already be rejected. Please stop adding polls or whatever in contrast to the desire of the community contributing to the project. Resid Gulerdem 02:30, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

3RR Warning

This is a warning that you are currently in violation of WP:3RR. Considering that this seems like a fairly minor issues I don't see why either of you should be blocked but please discuss instead of edit warring. Jtkiefer^{T | C | @} ---- 02:45, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

copyvio reversions to Dreyfoos School of the Arts

Hi, just wanted to let you know your reversion of Dreyfoos School of the Arts for copyvio, actually isn't. DSOA is a public school, therefore the audition requirements, presented by the school, are from a government source. ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 21:37, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Warning 1-4

You already vandalized the poll 4 times today. Will you stop?

You are the one started a poll. How come you cannot tolerate another poll? Resid Gulerdem 23:20, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My suggestion to you would be: Stop prototyping and prejudges. Be civil and try to discuss your ideas. This policy will be good for wiki. We can improve it together. At the points we are not getting an agreement, we can even start a poll for each section. Try to be constructive not destructive. I started thet poll right after you started. I really want to get community opinion for it. You cannot do anything good by vandalizing and destructing. I am open to your ideas as well. Let us chose the human way to solve the problem: let us start a constructive discussion. Resid Gulerdem 23:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your bot

Your bot is going nuts and keeps substing Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace. Whenever it gets reverted back, your bot shows up and does it again. tv316 01:38, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your bot

Could you please stop your bot from editing Wikipedia:Vandalism. The templates there are deliberately not transcluded. Thanks. -Splash^talk 01:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That might be a good idea. Talk to User:Tawker, he had some ideas about this and may have fixed his local copy. Honestly, though, I'm not really sure that all these bots batting around making what are essentially useless edits are necessary anyway. I mean, so they save a microgram of server strain on transclusions, but those pages aren't visited anything like often enough for that to matter and it uses up server space in saving the new revisions. -Splash^talk 01:53, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you are going to run this to subst user warning templates, add -namespace:3 to the end of the command string when you execute the module (main = 0, talk: = 1, user: = 2, user talk: = 3, etc...). — Mar. 23, '06 [05:00] <freakofnur_xture|talk>

WP:BRFA

Hi Pegasus. I see you seem to be active on the Bots request for approval page, so I was wondering if you could take a look at my bot request and leave a comment on it. Thanks! Cmdrjameson 23:22, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Warnings.

I noticed you added a warning to a user. This is just a friendly reminder to please remember to subst the warning as per WP:SUBST :) — File:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom ^{(T • C • W)} 01:44, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An idea to avoid subst a template while it is vandalized

I realized that a potential problem with this bot could be that it may do a subst while a template is vandalized. I figure the best was to avoid this is to not subst any template that has been modified in the last 2 hours. Any vandalism is likely to be caught in 2 hour. Just an idea. HighInBC 14:34, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That would be almost impossible to do well, an easier solution would be for me to manually check the templates that I'm going to subst to make sure that they haven't been vandalized since that would be fairly easy. Pegasus1138^{Talk | Contribs | Email} ---- 21:03, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand why this would be impossible, just check the history of the template and grab the time/dat of the last modification every 10 minutes or so. Perhaps I am speaking from ignorance though. HighInBC 21:31, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bot subst, namespace

Could you restrict your subst bot to just the User talk namespace? That's really the only place where these templates should be used in subst'ed form. I keep finding my personal welcome message pages, in the User namespace, (with a un-subst'ed generic {{welcome}} as a current comparison) edited by your bot. — TheKMan^talk 06:32, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The issue wasn't with the namespace it was running in it was that I was doing multiple tasks at once and somehow they overlapped. It shouldn't happen again and thanks for bringing it to my attention. Pegasus1138^{Talk | Contribs | Email} ---- 06:36, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, great. Keep up the good work! =) — TheKMan^talk 06:43, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Does this mean I can revert my sandbox to put the vandal templates back in and you won't revert me again? I keep them there for similar reasons, so I can have a look at the current versions on the infrequent occasions I do RC Patrol without having to plough through the template pages. You took them out twice yesterday morning, once with the python script, and then with AWB after I reverted. I didn't want to attempt an edit war with a bot :-) ~ Veledan • Talk 18:28, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll set to ignore that page. Pegasus1138^{Talk | Contribs | Email} ---- 20:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect change by your Bot ?

Hi. Pegasusbot just changed many articles, and left bad category pointers. For example Chris Hawkins or Clare McDonnell. It changed the category from 'Category:Radio DJs in the UK' to 'Category:Radio personalities in the UK' which doesn't exist ! Should I change it back manually ? What is going on ? Thanks. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc 22:14, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your kind reply. Okay, I will fix them back manually. Bests. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc 22:23, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I fixed everything on my watchlist manually. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc 23:18, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PegasusBot

PegasusBot made this edit to my talk page. It appears to just add a redundant line of text. I was just wondering if there is any reason this was added to my talk page?

Cedars 10:44, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The bot appears to be adding the message whether or not it actually substitutes templates on the page. // Pathoschild (_admin / ^talk) 10:53, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

That was/is due to two things,A. the templates are in a different format than I set the paremeters of the find/replace operation for, and/or B. which is a list error caused by either a crash and inccorrect restoration of an old input list or me putting in a template that I didn't actually set a find/replace template for. In the future please also give examples since that helps me know what I'm missing and what's going wrong so I can fix it. Pegasus1138^{Talk | Contribs | Email} ---- 11:03, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I had prepared an example, but considered it unnecessary since the same error was duplicated in Cedars' comment, posted minutes before mine. // Pathoschild (_admin / ^talk) 11:07, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

I did not "vandalize" Tony Sirico's page....I was putting down facts, the guys one of my favorite actors...explain your rasoning please.

Just how did vandalize Tony Sirico's page??

Better??

position

I am curious why it is incumbant on you to Warn me or tell me I'm vandalizing a page, I was struggling to record the source. I think you should alllow ample time for one to make a contribution. Are you an administrator of some sort...if so it's explainable but still done in haste.Bairdso66

I'm not an administrator in the sense that I don't have the administrator specific tools however anyone can be an administrator in the sense of helping to administrate the site and to to enforce policy. Pegasus1138^{Talk | Contribs | Email} ---- 19:46, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pegasusbot activities

Pegasusbot added the emergency shut off button on my bot's user page. The edit summary said I use AWB, which I don't. Secondly, I don't want the shut off button. It isn't actually a shut off button, it's a link to the block page - and admin's are familiar with that already. Also, where did you get the idea to go editing other people's bot's user pages?--Commander Keane 23:19, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did it because it is a useful as an immediate link for admins to use, also, check the edit summary it isn't saying you were using AWB it was saying that I was using AWB to add the notice. Pegasus1138^{Talk | Contribs | Email} ---- 23:26, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's not useful (it is distracting, and there are already two links to the block page on the my bots user page), and thus that's just your opinion. I am asking you to not go adding unwated material to user pages (it'd be cool if you removed it from my bot's page too). Your bot doesn't have permission to do this stuff. The edit summary is ambiguous, and can be interpreted either way - you might consider using a comma or rewording it. - I can help you with that if you like.--Commander Keane 23:32, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As per your request I have stopped the bot pending further review of it's actions. Pegasus1138^{Talk | Contribs | Email} ---- 23:35, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's just the user page editing that I'm worried about, you can continue to run it to subst templates and do category work.--Commander Keane 23:38, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
