[edit]I got a new computer, installed Firefox again and now Twinkle works... Weird. SwirlBoy39 23:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit]Can you look at WP:RPP and deal with my request? I am getting really annoyed. J.delanoygabsadds 17:15, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- User(s) blocked. for the user 24 hours: no need for protection at this point. Looking at the IP's edits, they were being disruptive. Acalamari 17:19, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. I wasn't sure if I should report him to AIV, so I went that route. J.delanoygabsadds 17:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- That's fine: I don't think there would have been a problem reporting him to AIV, in all fairness: the edits he made before editing your talk page were vandalism, so it's clear he was simply here to be disruptive. Acalamari 17:23, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. I wasn't sure if I should report him to AIV, so I went that route. J.delanoygabsadds 17:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
re:Happy Birthday
[edit]I just found out it was your birthday a few weeks ago. I know this is a little late, but Happy Birthday from me. :) Acalamari 18:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

- You're are very welcome. :) Acalamari 15:32, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
[edit]Just a belated thanks for the rollback status, it'll serve me well :-). Cheers, tim.bounceback 20:14, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- You're very welcome. :) I'm sure you'll make good use of it. Best wishes. Acalamari 20:17, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Rollback
[edit]Hello! I am User:Billy! I have a question. Would you mind granting me rollback privileges. I am a very dedicated vandal fighter, and I would greatly benefit from this. Thanks! -Billy-talk 21:09, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Seems Malinaccier did it for you. :) Acalamari 22:16, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello, could you please devote some of your precious time to taking a quick look at this article. Recently the information regarding her measurements was changed, the old source remained. As much as the new info reverted by me was completely unsourced, I tend to think that also her old/current measurements were/are questionable. They were sourced, but I'm not too sure whether the source was/is actually reliable. What do you think? Thanks in advance for your opinion. Best regards --Catgut (talk) 02:53, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Doesn't look like a bad source to me: but if you're unsure, the best thing to do is to look up her measurements on some other websites, and if necessary, provide more than one source for her measurements. Acalamari 18:09, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks again for your advice, forgot to reply!!! Best, --Catgut (talk) 04:39, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- That's fine: glad to help. :) Acalamari 15:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism
[edit]Dear Acalamari,
This user continues blunt vandalism here [1] and also removed vandalism warning from his talk page [2]. He also also investigated for sockpopetry [3]. He also vandalized my talk page [4]. We need your help, I warned him on his talk page but he keeps removing the warning tag. Thanks a lot. Iberieli (talk) 13:58, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
I think you (and everyone else there, so don't take it personally) misunderstood the purpose of the page. The "add comments" redlink on Talk:1974 in India points to that page. That said, if the page was being used in a way other than how it should be, then I take this back. I don't want to DRV this because I don't really care, but yeah... dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 01:37, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm...obviously it wasn't an orphaned talk page then: however, the text wasn't worth keeping, and if you want, I'll give you the text of that page and we can discuss restoring it if you like, though I don't think the text is worth restoring. Acalamari 01:48, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- Nah, don't worry about it. I could probably just make a new one if it was important (I don't personally see much use in those pages.) Could you possibly leave a note on the MfD (or somewhere) indicating that recreation would be OK, if someone were to want to do so in future. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 03:57, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
RfA Thanks
[edit]- In addition, thank you again for Rollback. It's proven itself quite useful tonight. D: -WarthogDemon 03:20, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
My RfA
[edit]Hi Acalamari/Archive W! Thank you for your support in my RfA (87/3/3).

delete revision?
[edit]I had asked a person on Flickr to change the license on one of his pictures. He replied on my talk page and he included some contact info. A few seconds later, he removed the contact info. As an admin, is it possible for you to delete a revision from the history so only admins can see it? Or should I request oversight? Thanks. J.delanoygabsadds 00:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Admin coaching
[edit]Thanks for your kind words Acalamari. Feel welcome to close the coaching page any time. When I eventually go for another RFA, I'll drop you a talk page note. Thanks again, VanTucky 04:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- You're very welcome! You did excellent work during your coaching: you clearly demonstrated good knowledge of policy, and I think you'll make a great administrator when you become one. I would like to throw in a co-nomination in your next RfA if you want, but if you already have a nominator and co-nominators available, I'll just give a very strong support instead! :) (Don't want too many co-nominators!) Best wishes. Acalamari 16:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'd be happy to have you co-nom when I go for it. So far it's you, Tim Vickers and AGK. Thanks Acalamari! VanTucky 17:54, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- That's great, and you're welcome! Though personally, I'd leave it at that many number of nominators: believe it or not, too many nominators can actually hurt a nomination rather than help it. :( Just tell us when you want to run. Acalamari Bellatrix! 17:56, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Blocked
[edit]I have indef blocked you for WP:POINT and WP:TROLL trolliong violations as you attempted to use a false retirement to win an edit war with Jimbo Wales, the CABAL, and every other editor on this project. This behavior is unacceptable and please never come back. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 15:53, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Awarding Barnstar
[edit]The Barnstar of Good Humor | ||
Aprils fools day was a blast. Loads of users lightened up to have good old fashion fun. I want to thank you for taking part in editing this page in particular and even though I may not know you, embrace the same talk pages, or even edit with you in the near future, I'd like to award you this Barnstar for making Wikipedia a fun environment in which to contribute. Until next year. :) SynergeticMaggot (talk) 13:39, 2 April 2008 (UTC) |

Nice warning
[edit]I think it is nice for you to warn yourself for doing vandalism in which i suppose you have done........ (and rather LeStrange). Simply south (talk) 02:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you mean: I haven't warned myself for vandalism. Acalamari 15:43, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- On the other account you did six months ago then reverted yourself (i thougth you might have got where i was going when i said "LeStrange"). Just another random jokey comment. Simply south (talk) 19:03, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Oh...Bellatrix Kerrigan = Bellatrix Lestrange. :) Ha, ha, yes, I do get it now. It was quite early here when I responded to your message, so I wasn't sure what you meant. :) Thanks. Acalamari 20:14, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Rollback
[edit]Thank you for granting me rollback rights. Mww113 (talk) 22:10, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Just remember it's only for reverting vandalism. You may also wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback too. Good luck. Acalamari 22:11, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, I have seen that. However I have a couple questions. 1. Can rollback be used on a users talk page if the user has blanked or cleared the page to hide warnings?? (recently did that) 2. Can an accidental rollback be undone? (Or if after the fact I realize that my rollback was inappropriate) Mww113 (talk) 22:16, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- (1) I wouldn't revert warnings in accordance with this guideline; (2) Yes, you can use rollback, undo, etc to revert a mistaken rollback. Acalamari 22:19, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Understood. Thank you very much. I was not aware of that policy. I will not make the same mistake again. Again thank you very much! Mww113 (talk) 22:21, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome! Acalamari 22:30, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Amanda Michalka
[edit]Dear Acalamari,
Firstly I would like to thank you for contributing to Wikipedia as much as you have. Now on to my real point : some information on Amanda Michkala(sorry if i spelt that wrong)'s page is incorrect her Birthday is March 25th 1991 not April 10th 1991. Yes it is the same as her sisters, I've seen more than my fair share of their interviews where they have stated and i quote "Yeah we have the same Birthday. We always say that we're the only twins to be born 2 years apart lol . . ." blah blah blah etc. I tried to fix it but i was repremanded and sent a message not to 'vandalise' Wikipedia pages. Please correct it or write back as it is very frustrating to know that there is wrong information on Wikipedia.
April 7th 2008 22:35
Thank you
My username is :fifiballerinagirl16 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 21:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the recognition regarding my work here. Anyway, with Amanda Michalka's birthday being the same day as Alyson's, do you have any reliable sources to verify this? To start with, I checked IMDB and TV.com, and both of them said that Amanda was born on April 10th, but I'm not totally sure how reliable they are when it comes to birthdates. Finally, if you changed the birthday in good faith, your edit was not vandalism. Acalamari 21:49, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Your note
[edit]Hi Acalamari, Thanks for letting me know. . .can I interest you in a trade? I need some more eyes for a BLP issue, currently on-going, while I work on the RfA stuff. The relevant post at BLPN is here, the latest edit which concerns me is here. If you agree with what I've laid out at the noticeboard (or hell, just look at the edit) could I get a little help? :-) Thanks, R. Baley (talk) 19:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome. :) Anyway, I've left a comment on the noticeboard. I don't normally deal with issues like this, but I suppose a little help should be of some use. :) Acalamari 20:56, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Rollback Request
[edit]Hi, I requested rollback a while ago and it was suggested I use Twinkle for a while. I think I'm ready for rollback now - I spend a lot of time reverting vandalism, etc. Thanks.Doug Weller (talk) 06:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- Rollback granted. :) Just remember to use it for reverting vandalism, and not for reverting good-faith edits, or use in revert wars. For more information, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. Good luck. Acalamari 15:07, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for semi-prot on California Gold Rush
[edit]Thanks for the semi-protection on California Gold Rush. That article gets a lot of childish anon vandalism - in part perhaps because the topic is a subject of many school reports and essays. It may well be a good subject for a permanent semi-protect. NorCalHistory (talk) 22:22, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome: the current semi-protection is for a month, so we'll see how it goes after that. Acalamari 22:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- Regarding your kind offer of roll-back privileges - I would be honored. I'll use it judiciously only for vandalism! Thank you! NorCalHistory (talk) 23:08, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Trina
[edit]Hey, I was just wondering if you could find a image to add to the Trina article. Thankyou. Raintheone (talk) 14:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- To be honest, I'm not sure where you can get free images from. The image that was on the Trina article didn't have a description of its status, and therefore, there was no listing of whether it was free or not. Acalamari 15:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Blocked

The next time you don't edit on Raider's sysop coaching, you will be blocked from editing for a period of 932.4141x3 days. // A Raider Like Indiana 16:06, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Rollback Rights Request
[edit]Hi Acalamari. I've admired your work from a distance and noticed that you are listed as an admin willing to grant rollback rights. I would like to have such rights both to more easily rollback vandalism and to also get the necessary experience through this small responsibility to someday be a stellar admin like yourself. I hope you will consider my request, and if the answer's in the negative, please advise me how I can improve. Thank you! --Eustress (talk) 21:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for the compliments! It's nice to know my work is appreciated :) Anyway, I had a look through some of your contributions, and I've granted your rollback request. Just remember that rollback should only be used to revert vandalism, and should not be used to revert good faith edits, and certainly should not be used in revert wars. If you're interested in practice before use in the mainspace, take a look at Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 23:58, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

- This is not good!. Im not overprotecting but this edit is not good. REally. --Efe (talk) 14:55, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- It seems they've already been warned for vandalism now, and by someone else. Me giving a warning at this point would be pointless, as they've been warned. Also, the fact I'm an admin doesn't mean that my warnings have any more power than anyone else's: anyone can warn. Acalamari 15:49, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yah. Two users, I think, already warned that user who dropped a message in my talkpage saying that the content of my edits were irrelevant. I dont want to engage in edit war so I would like admins to watch over this one. Thank you. --Efe (talk) 03:02, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- That's fine. You're welcome. Acalamari 15:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

The Test Wiki
[edit]I noticed that you are a bureaucrat on http://wiki.xyrael.net/wiki/User:Acalamari may I request sysop access?? I am Mww113 on that wiki as well. Mww113 (talk) (Report a mistake!) 14:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ha, ha yes, you were given the right over there. :) Acalamari 16:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
My RfA...
[edit]EyeSerenetalk 17:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the link... and the T-shirt. I'll wear it with pride! EyeSerenetalk 07:24, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome! Acalamari 16:21, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
RPP
[edit]Can you please semi-protect Tiger Droppings? There are three people reverting vandalism there and we can't keep up! J.delanoygabsadds 19:25, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's been deleted by Nick. See the deletion log. Acalamari 20:37, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Parachute
[edit]You may want to consider semi-protecting Parachute. There's been quite a bit of stupid vandalism on that page recently, which still hasn't been reverted. Take a look at Parachute#Design and you'll quickly see what I mean. There used to be some excellent information re. ribbon chutes, which has now been replaced by scatological idiocy. - Nabokov (talk)
- I haven't protected the page, as it doesn't need protecting for now: there's not enough vandalism to justify semi-protection. It was only two users vandalizing, and if they vandalize again, they can be blocked if necessary. The vandalism has been reverted as well. Acalamari 20:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Credits and Help
[edit]Hello again. Hope all is going well for you. I borrowed your amazing userpage template for mine and gave you credit on the code page, but just wanted to make sure that's okay with you. (I know Wikipedia's all about open code, but I'd like to be considerate to others.) Also, if it is okay to use it, can you tell me how to "smush" the upper-right-hand icons together (e.g., globe, commons icon, etc.) and how to move them right? You're amazing. Thanks! --Eustress (talk) 04:03, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- You can take anything you like from my user page: the content there is free, and therefore, you are free to use it. Regarding the icons at the top of the page, I changed the "px" in the text, which, to be honest, I have trouble doing sometimes as well. It takes a few previews to get it right. Thanks for the compliments. Acalamari 15:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Rollback Request
[edit]Hi there. I would like to receive the right to Rollback. If you could please review my contributions and then reply with your decision. it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, --Aremith Talk 04:30, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Done, asked on my talk too SQLQuery me! 05:02, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! Acalamari 15:41, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Rollback feature
[edit]Hi, I was wondering if you could grant me the rollback feature ? I noticed that you were part of the category of admins willing to grant rollback requests so i thought I should ask you. I know I haven't made a large amount of edits, but I have significantly contributed to afew articles (mainly FAC The Chronic & GA Straight Outta Compton) and I think the tool would help me edit. Please go through my contibs and review if i'm reliable enough. Thanks. - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 15:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sure, I'll review your edits. Just give me a few minutes first. :) Acalamari 15:53, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- I've granted your rollback request. Just remember that rollback should only be used to revert vandalism, and should not be used to revert good faith edits, and should certainly not be used in revert wars. For additional information and practice with rollback, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 16:03, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you, I'll only use it for the right reasons, I won't let you down. - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 16:06, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

My RFA
[edit]Thanks for the support.--Kumioko (talk) 17:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome, but I suggest you don't thank anyone for participating while your RfA is in progress. Some users may oppose you if they see you thanking people before your RfA is over. Wait until it's closed before thanking anyone. Acalamari 17:21, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Good point I didn't think about that umm...Thanks.--Kumioko (talk) 17:24, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- That's okay. Just letting you know. Acalamari 17:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

RFA redux
[edit]Hey, I just dropped Tim Vickers and AGK talk notes, as I'm thinking it's time for a second run at the tools. My first was in mid November, so it's been a good chunk of time. Please do chime in, and I'd still gladly accept a co-nom. I'm guessing Tim will be my main nom, so you should check either his or my talk for an update. Thanks! VanTucky 19:48, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- That's excellent! I'll begin writing my co-nomination then! Thanks! :) Acalamari 20:11, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Hmm?
[edit]Rollback rights sounds good to me. Thanks. I misunderstood the message and re-read it, I thought you had been accusing me of vandalizing Wikipedia, so I had to edit my message... --JennicaTalk 03:37, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Rollback granted. :) Just remember it's only for reverting vandalism, and not for reverting good faith edits or use in revert wars. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 15:43, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you
[edit]Thank you for reviewing my request! I hope to not let you down now that you've given me the rollback function! Cheers, Razorflame (talk) 15:46, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome for rollback. :) For practice, you may want to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 15:50, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Just a question, but what are the warnings for vandalism and removing content here? I am somewhat new to this Wikipedia, but I am a veteran of the Simple English Wikipedia, so I know how to warn someone, it's just that I don't know the warnings here. Please respond on my talk page. Thanks, Razorflame (talk) 15:54, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace lists all the warnings, and not just for vandalism and blanking. Acalamari 15:58, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Weirdness
[edit]Hey, thanks for giving rollback to my sock ;)
But what is up with this? I don't get it. In the screenshot I'm signed in as J.delanoy. J.delanoygabsadds 02:11, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome for the rollback on that account. :) Regarding the picture, I'm not sure what's wrong with it: it seems fine to me. Acalamari 02:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- OK, that was just a dumb moment on my part, I forgot I "watched" my sock's pages. Sorry about that. (heh heh) J.delanoygabsadds 02:15, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- No worries. :) Acalamari 02:57, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
