All The Unblocks.

I want to thank you for all the times you've un-autoblocked me. Instead of giving you a barnstar (as you said you have so many of them), I'm going to give you this Wikibeer. Sure, I can't buy alcohol, as I'm only 16, but Wikibeer is made of 100% recycled electrons, as stated on WP:PUA, so this is okay! Acalamari 17:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I should hope so too, don't want more instances of WP:EUI.... WjBscribe 19:34, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I've been accused of being a sockpuppet

Hi. Sorry to bother you (you're the third admin I've tried over this), but I saw you'd commented on a detail of the issue and, well, you gave me a Barnstar back in the day, so thought you might be able to help.

Starting here, I've been accused of being a sockpuppet for some reverts at Glenn Greenwald and of having vandalised this user's talk page. None of this has any truth to it whatsoever, but nevertheless there are a half-dozen instances of it on various talk and admin pages now. The user in question has made it clear that the result of any inquiries into the issue isn't going to change his mind, and frankly I'm a little worried at the thought of this accusation being left hanging around even when it's found to be groundless. What's the general call on having allegations like this left on pages in the future? Can they be removed on request if found to be false? Chris Cunningham 20:45, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Recent change to {{AFC preload}}

I noticed you recently changed {{AFC preload}} to put {{protected template}} at the bottom. Since the wizard at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Wizard-Ready for submission transcludes the AFC preload template, this means that submissions at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Today are showing up with messages that say that it's a high-risk template. Oddly enough, Wikipedia:Articles for creation, which transcludes Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Today, isn't showing these template messages.

Would you have any ideas on why this would be happening? Is it possible to just protect {{AFC preload}} without having the banner on there? --Elkman (Elkspeak) 20:49, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Is there a rule against having pictures in section headers? Only I think I might have broken it.

Just felt the need to post this here. No particular reason. You can thank AzaToth – Qxz 21:52, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Boo!

Hey, get this! Someone just cascade semi-protected {{User:Qxz/ad.css}}. Handed me a 'protect' button on a plate. Being the courteous and civil user that I am, though, I didn't go on a protection rampage, I just yelled at them a bit and then found someone to revert it. Oh, you might want to drop by and have a look at my talk page some time. I'm trying to write a bulletin board system in MediaWiki (with the help of a bot or two, of course). See ya – Qxz 23:30, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Huh, not sure what to make of that. My impression was that cascading semi doesn't work (it applies admin protection to everything transcluded, unless the devs fixed that bit). Also, that bulletin board is the craziest thing I've seen on the wiki in some time. Very interesting. :p – Luna Santin (talk) 23:37, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Yes, exactly. Applies admin protection to everything transcluded. Yet because it was only semi-protected itself, I could still edit it, and transclude something else. See? Instant protection. Glad you like the page. Took me all day – Qxz 23:50, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Checkuser request

Hey Luna, Any chance you could check this thread on WP:AN? I would like to know if a checkuser might be a good idea. Its just that I can't find a rationale for or against it. Cheers Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 02:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Wow, seriously ballsed up, any chance you could check this and let me know what to do? Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 02:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Cheers for fixing it for me, guess its probably a good think I don't go starting checkuser requests all the time :-) Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 02:57, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

IRC RFCU channel

Good morning (GMT time); is there a quick way of being able to access the IRC CheckUser (clerk) channel, to monitor the bot feed? It would be extremely useful in clerking, as well as to ask for guidance during these early days of my clerking duties.

Kind regards,

Thanks

Thanks for fixing this for me. I just noticed the edit. I like the table, so I stold it :P Navou banter / contribs 19:32, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Why blocking?

Would you please tell me why did you block my ip 24.66.94.140? I edit rarely and I do not remember doing anything silly. Moreover these IPs are dynamic and change! ~rAGU


Yes it does make sense. But the message is not any encouraging! I am fine after loging in. Thanks ~rAGU

Smile!
