I think it's about time for you to revert an edit by J Milburn...

He removed a logo gallery, and the previous three logos, from the Disney Channel article.

P.S., you should also talk to Really21.

LDEJRuff, I removed the gallery as galleries of NFC are absolute no-gos and the logos are adding nothing- see our non-free content guidelines. If you aren't happy with my edits, you're welcome to contact me, you don't have to run off to find someone else to revert for you. J Milburn (talk) 20:22, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sorry that he came here first as if I had some power over this, he should have come to you if the issue involved you. treelo _radda 22:12, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LDEJ, he is right to do so and also right for you to tell him directly instead of coming to me. I know I've said that it wasn't necessary before for another article to have a gallery but it doesn't mean I felt Disney Channel needed one. Why come here basically to tattle on two editors? I won't revert on the say so of you or anyone else, especially when I have no involvement in the issue. As for Really21, I don't care. treelo _radda 22:12, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First off, call me either "LDE" or "JRuff" for short, but never "LDEJ". Someone from long ago mistakenly called me "LDEJ" once. And second, I'm sorry about that. ^_^'

OK, sure. Also, stop using your past as an excuse for your actions in the present, I'm well aware of what issues you went through and how you seem stuck on it but it's not conducive to a decent working environment if each time you screw the pooch you bring up the Foster's Home incident. If I look at it from your view, you did nothing and it was little more than a vendetta against you, right? If so, why is it you feel that somehow if you have the same issue here you'll be banned once more, mope off to some other community and repeat the cycle? I know that's what you feel because I know even though you say you were accused wrongly that feel you were responsible for what happened. If you didn't, you wouldn't repeat your sob story to anyone who'd listen and you'd have brushed it off and moved on. Tell you what, I can talk to off-wiki about this and see if I can help you with it because I want to, you're a somewhat decent guy but you do the most damage to yourself in trying to prevent it. Just use this link and I can try and help. treelo _radda 08:21, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

igloo

Hi Treelo, and thanks for your interest in igloo. Before using the program, please read the following information carefully - failure to do so may result in your test access being revoked.

igloo is a JavaScript-powered, browser-based anti-vandalism tool, which means you do not have to download or install anything on your computer and it will work on multiple operating systems. However, it does mean that the performance relies on that of your browser and it may operate more slowly than downloaded programs. You must have either Mozilla Firefox 3+ or Google Chrome to use igloo, as it is currently incompatible with other browsers.

igloo relies on a system called iglooNet to assist you in finding and reverting vandalism. It is this system that transforms the program from a pretty version of recent changes to an actual anti-vandalism tool. Naturally, this is beyond the power of a client-side program, and igloo will regularly communicate with an external, non-Wikimedia server. Because of things like server logs, and the iglooNet abuse tracker, this may allow your IP address to be attached to your username - something which is otherwise impossible on Wikipedia. If you do not want this to happen, you MUST NOT USE IGLOO.

If you decide that you do want to test igloo, please keep in mind that it not wholly stable, and you may experience problems where it performs an invalid edit, or other unwanted action. If this happens, fix any mistakes you've made, apologise to anyone you've offended, and let me know. I don't take any responsibility for your use of the program - if you aren't willing to fix any errors, don't use it.

igloo is already quite powerful. The following is a simple guide to using the program:

The igloo interface is similar to that of other software, including huggle. Recent changes appear on the left, and diffs appear on the right.
igloo sorts diffs based on iglooNet data so that edits most likely to be vandalism are displayed first. You can press spacebar to view the top diff, or click on any diff to view it directly.
When you find vandalism, press 'Q' or click the revert button to revert the change, and issue a warning to the user. igloo automatically issues the correct warning. It will ignore existing warnings that are more than 5 days old, and restart from the beginning.
The iglooNet assertion system tags clean and dirty edits with colour coding - if it suspects an edit is vandalism, it will be flagged as red, and if it believes it to be clean, it will tag it green.
At any time, you can re-review diffs you have already seen by pressing backspace to move through the diff history.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or other feedback, I'd love to know. If you hate it, and won't be using it again, please let me know why - and I'll remove you from the test whitelist. If you now try and use igloo, you should find that it will allow you to use the program (NB. I have also added your alternate account). Thanks, and good luck!

What the hey?

Regarding this revert and this message...I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to make "test edits" to my own sandbox. :P -- saberwyn 09:59, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Woah, didn't see it was in a sandbox, my mistake. The warning and revert have been reverted. treelo _radda 10:01, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
