Moar userboxes!
Hrmm.. I've searched around, and posted a question, but since you have prior information reguarding scripts and userboxes, would you know how to create a userbox that counted your contributions/edits? Daedalus (talk) 06:42, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- I have a box and a script written by Henrik that displays an always-updated count for me, but for other users the box has to be kept updated manually. I don't think there's a way to have an auto-updating count box... Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 16:21, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- It's working, thanks. Now all I have to find out is what to do reguardin contributions... Daedalus (talk) 04:44, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Re: Your ER
I can agree with what you said. I just went back maybe 500 edits, and didnt see much user page talk. Happy Editing, Dustitalk 18:10, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Was happening to this page why is User:Psrajavel blanking some of the texts, shall i revert it as vandalism back to your version. Terra Terra's talkpage
- It seems to have been dealt with, User:Polly had seemed to have placed the A1 Deletion tag on it, never mind. Terra Terra's talkpage 21:08, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Friend box
- Original comment left on User talk:Daedalus969
Just noticed the friends with box on your page. While I appreciate the sentiment, I would rather that the box be used only for expressing real-life relationships. Neither of us has any idea who the other is, and I don't feel we've been conversing long enough to be considered "friends", even if conversation is the only element to a friendship. I'll be adding a note to that effect on the template's page momentarily; meanwhile, I'd be much obliged if you would remove the box with my name in it, at least for now. Thanks! Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 06:17, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- It was changed, sorry. Daedalus (talk) 06:34, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Users are generally permitted to delete their own talk page contents, including warnings, WP:TALK#User talk pages although this is discouraged. I wish that this were against policy, but this has been extensively debated and is currently allowed. Deleting the comments is interpreted that they were read and understood. It is annoying when users do this, particularly disruptive users like this one as it makes it really hard to see the progression of warnings and what response to make to them. It appears they are hiding their behavior. --NrDg 16:24, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not asking for the page to remain as it is for eternity; I would just like all the messages accessible somewhere in archives, if not on the page. Having them only in the history is just not a usable archival method. And deleting previous comments from a still-ongoing conversation makes the discussion extremely hard to follow. That's why I restored the page; Lizcook replaced the entire page with a response to one of the threads on it, removing all context. If you're OK with losing all the context, feel free to revert my restoration. I'll ignore the page. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 16:55, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- I agree with all your points. Unfortunately she is allowed to do this by policy. I won't undo anything you did but do expect her to. I have been interacting with her for a while and it IS annoying that she deletes the context and I've asked her not to, but all I can do is go over the edit history to see what others have said. What you did is fine if done once but if she reverts let it go as she is entitled to do that. My purpose in this message is not specifically about this user, just an FYI in general, in case you weren't aware of Wiki's (stupid in IMHO) policy in this type of case. --NrDg 17:08, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi...
Hi Again! Just dropping a line. I feel like doing that today. I have written on all the peopls pages that I know... Well I think I have. hhmmmmm....--CherryBlossom93 18:46, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- And here I thought I'd gone and annoyed someone else... ;-) Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 21:34, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Animated Banner
Can I use your banner as an example in my discussion board please? -Angelo (MCoOL Student). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.71.42.231 (talk) 22:18, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- What banner? Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 04:53, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- Likely the ROBO one that use to be at the top. Daedalus (talk) 21:11, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

User watchlist?
hi do you know if there's a way to track when someone edits? I can put a talk page on my watchlist but I wanted to know if I can get notified or something each time an IP address edits. 149.4.218.146 (talk) 22:02, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- Kind of like a "user watchlist"? Not that I'm aware of. Are you a registered user who forgot to sign in? I wouldn't expect IPs to be conscious of watchlists... Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 22:17, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- Just look up the contributions of said editor, and refresh page. Daedalus (talk) 22:20, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- I was about to amend my comment to mention that, Daedalus. You beat me to it. :) Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 22:21, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- OK. I know how to do that. I just was wondering about some kind of watchlist and other notification. Thanks anyway. 149.4.218.146 (talk) 22:22, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

hi
When I read "You can leave me a message (last diff). Let me know of a mistake or a good edit, or just say hi!". I was tempted to just say hi, so here it comes: Hi!
Accordingly
According to ur page, you like John Lennon, here's tha funneh part, meh name is Lennon!
~Ya Boi Krakerz~ (talk) get at meh sometime —Preceding comment was added at 02:32, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- Just found the quote on another Wikipedia userpage (I think it was on de.wp). I don't have any real feelings one way or the other about Lennon or his music. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 02:18, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Adminship
I've been consistently impressed with your reverts and AIV reports over the past few days, and I'd like to act upon that. Would you like a RFA nomination? I don't see any reason why not to (apart from the username, but that's not much), if there are any reasons why not to, then it's your decision! :) Regards, Rudget. 20:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- I wouldn't object to a nomination at some point, certainly, but I can't take credit for all of my edits lately. I've been using huggle (by Gurch) to patrol for vandalism, and it has automatic AIV reporting. So that part isn't me. I, myself, am too lazy to do all of what the program goes through to post reports. :P
- If you still think I'd be a good admin, even without the diligence to scrape up half a dozen diffs for each vandal report, it would certainly be a welcome step. I'm just concerned how much time it'll take. From what I've read, RfAs are not something to be done lightly or halfheartedly. Comments/experiences? I seem to recall you having a successful request. :) Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 20:25, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- I've been looking over your edits, they seem to be fine to me, and you've made plenty of edits even before huggle was created. And yes, they aren't something to take lightly, you literally eating your hand when it goes live on the main RFA page. Thanks for the flattery as well. :P I think you're still pretty qualified, or would you prefer to undergo a quick admintraining session instead? Either way, I'm happy. :) Regards, Rudget. 22:10, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Sounds like running for adminship is kind of similar to running for public office. Come to think of it, that's what adminship is. :D A training session sounds like it would probably be a good idea. What's involved in that? Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 23:14, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm, just an informal discussion and a few questions regarding your editing and to test your knowledge of policies. It's highly likely that others will ask questions later on in the RFA, so it's best to get a good idea of what you'll need to know now. :) Rudget. 17:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- Do you want me to create a short admin-coaching page? Your decision. Rudget. 13:38, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- If you would, it would be much appreciated. :) Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 17:31, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- Here you go. Rudget. 18:58, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- I've answered the questions there. I hope my answers are up to snuff... *Crosses fingers* ;-) Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 20:13, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'm going to put that last question on my to-do list in RTM. I've got my hands full right now with a two-year-old nephew, so I can't really think about it. :-( I'll let you know when I've updated the coaching page. Thanks for making that, BTW! Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 17:40, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- I personally think your ready, give me a buzz and I'll create the page then transclude it, but if you wish to, that's fine! :) Rudget. 10:50, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'm taking a sort of break right now to get caught back up on my homework (missed a test and a paper). Not only was I overkilling on WP, but my entire family's schedule has been thrown off by the two-year-old we're babysitting for a few weeks. So something has to go, and I can't shirk school or the kid, so I guess it's WP. :-( I'll let you know when I'm ready, eh? Sound good to you? :) Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 19:23, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- Sounds great! Sorry about the very late reply. :) Rudget. 18:55, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Huggle User Category
Hi there. I have seen that you use huggle by the fact that you have automatically updated the huggle white list(it does this when closing huggle). I was wondering if you would add the category [[Category:Wikipedians who use Huggle]] to your user page so that it fills out and we know who actually uses huggle. If you do not want to you do not have to. I am also sorry if i have already talked to you about this or you no longer use huggle but i sent it to everyone that has edited the page since mid January. I hope we can start to fill out this category. If you would like to reply to this message then please reply on my talk page as i will probably not check here again. Thanks. ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 18:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- I do indeed use huggle, and I'll be happy to add the category to my page. (I was hoping for a userbox, but maybe I'll just create my own at some point.) Thanks for letting me know the category exists! Cheers, Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 10:40, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- Would there be a problem with making the category Wikipedians who use huggle rather than Wikipedians who use Huggle? As far as I can tell, the application's name is properly written with a lowercase h. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 10:46, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- I dont know if the category can be renammed. There are userboxes. You can find one of them somewhere on this page.. User:Addshore/userboxes. Enjoy! ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 12:47, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Huggle
I saw you mention that you use Huggle. I've been trying to get it for some time, but it seems the author is MIA. Do you think you could send it to me? If so let me know and I'll email you. Thanks. Equazcion •✗/C • 10:21, 4 Mar 2008 (UTC)
- It's kind of a shame that he's missing, too; huggle has a couple bugs that should really be fixed. Such as with extending AIV reports, for example. But to return to your query, I'll be happy to send it. I've seen your name around enough to trust you. :-) Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 10:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, I appreciate it! I'm emailing you now. Equazcion •✗/C • 10:51, 4 Mar 2008 (UTC)
- huggle sent. If you can't figure out the strategy I used to fool Gmail's EXE filters, I put instructions in the email. Enjoy! Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 11:00, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- I generally use a similar strategy :) Thanks again, really appreciate it :) Equazcion •✗/C • 11:02, 4 Mar 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry about butting in like this. Gurch is nolonger developping huggle. He does still send out the aplication but it takes a few days. I am hoping to get the source for it off him eventually. Then we can work on some of the bugs. ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 12:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- That sucks... it's a great tool. I just created Wikipedia:Huggle/Apply to aid in distribution, since I myself have waited weeks for a reply, still didn't get one, and now it seems the author disabled his Wikipedia email. I hope you do get your hands on the source code soon, so that some bugs can be fixed. In the meantime it's still a great tool though. Equazcion •✗/C • 13:28, 4 Mar 2008 (UTC)

- I was thinking about getting Huggle as a faster way to revert vandalism; but I am a little surprised that a whole lot of users are using that application right now. Yes, I know, I may have to email Gurch, but I may feel a little uncomfortable of doing that. I just wanted the program like all the other people who use it. I really do wish I had it, though.

Cave Clan edit war
- Subject changed to be more specific at 11:32, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Cave Clan. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. seicer | talk | contribs 01:41, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- I didn't think I was in danger of violating 3RR over edits such as this one. There were multiple other users, possibly sockpuppets (hunch, nothing more; no accusation here), making similar edits over and over, changing the perspective in the article from "the Cave Clan" to "I", which is inappropriate for encyclopedia work. I was on huggle at the time, and the changes just looked like vandalism to me. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 11:30, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Class.com
I wrote them a letter but never received a response. Are they still using Commons images without attribution? If so, can you take screenshots of different editor's images? — Omegatron 23:07, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- I just happened to find that image by accident. I have no idea what other images might be in their courses. Also, I do not believe I have access to the course with your image any longer, as the course was over at the quarter break.
- I will definitely keep a lookout for other questionable images, and if I come across any that I can confirm I will take screenshots.
- Meanwhile, I'll draft an email to my school alerting them of the potential problem. Perhaps they, as customers of Class.com, will be able to get a response. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 11:38, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Status Tab
I don't know how or why, but the in link stopped working. Do you know where the problem might be?-Daedalus (talk) 23:52, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- That's rather odd. I don't see anything wrong with it in a cursory glance around the various codes. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 11:35, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Why did you revert this edit? And why do you delete my question?
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Photosensitive_epilepsy&diff=202173887&oldid=202173859 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.212.39.213 (talk) 19:32, March 30, 2008
- Well, it's been a while since you left this message, and I honestly don't remember what I thought was wrong with it. It looks like I started (or was simply the first participant in by chance) a chain of reversions of that exact edit, from several other users. Eventually, it was rephrased and added again in the latest revision to the article. So I wasn't the only person who disagreed with that particular expression of the new content; I just can't say what exactly told me to revert it. Sorry!
- As for reverting your questions here, I see in the diffs that the first one was entirely out of context and unsigned, and the second one asked if I am a bot. (Yes, I could have said no and left it at that, but bots don't revert their talk pages, so...) This third one had a diff link, which made me ignore it instead of reverting. I'm answering talk page messages today, so that's why I'm finally responding to you. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 16:18, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Cyberathlete Amateur League
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Cyberathlete Amateur League, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Cyberathlete Amateur League. If you are aware of any sources, such as newspaper or magazine articles, or relaible websites (not blogs), please add information on them to the article to improve it. Many thanks! Gazimoff (talk) 14:20, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- This makes me wonder why it was left on my talk page. I only made a revert or two to that article while vandal-fighting. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 16:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
More help
Remember when you helped me set up that status tab? Well, I recently joined the CVU, and added myself to the status box thing. I was wondering if you could help me modify the status changer link script so that it changes more pages, specifically, besides changing the page it currrently changes, I would also like to modify it to alter this page. I would like the 'in' link to blank the page, therefore telling statusbot that I am here, and I would like the 'busy', 'out', and 'wikibreak' links to add anything to the page, for the sake of simplicity, one could just have it insert the line 'busy' to the page, therefore telling status bot that I am well, busy.
Thankyou for your time.— Dædαlus→quick link / Improve 09:22, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

- I just whipped it up in the last 45 minutes or so, mostly looking up window.open() documentation (I hate new windows, but couldn't think of a better way to do this off-hand). I tried it on my own userspace and it seems to do what's required. Paste it in over your current code to use it. Let me know how it works for you! :-) Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 17:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, I should mention that I make no guarantees of efficiency, etc. etc. ;-) window.open() is really slow on my machine under FF2; don't know about others. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 18:01, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
star trek image on user page
I want to use this image on my user page Image:250px-UFP-Seal.gif This one is fare use so I do not think I can use it. Do you know if it is possible to find a free use one? Thanks, Igor Berger (talk) 17:09, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- So far as I know, there is no way to get a copy of that image that is free to use, unless the rights owners (meaning Paramount/CBS/whoever owns Trek these days) specifically publish a version that is released under a free license. All copies of images obtained from any merchandise, publications, etc. are all either licensed through specific contract with Paramount/CBS/whoever or used under Fair Use. I wish it were otherwise, but AFAIK all Star Trek logos and insignia are copyrighted. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 17:58, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- How about if I find something on a movie poster, can you just cut that section out and use it? Being movie posters are free use? Igor Berger (talk) 18:11, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry to butt in here, but movie poster's aren't free use, they are fair use. As Tuvok said, any image from Star Trek is copyrighted. An image from a movie poster would be classed as a derivative work and thus subject to the original copyright. Seraphim♥ Whipp 18:27, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. Igor Berger (talk) 18:37, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- No worries, Seraphim! :-) Thanks for clarifying, Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 07:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- Glad to be of assistance :). Seraphim♥ Whipp 09:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Creating a variation on your script
I've decided to fork off your rollback summary script so I can make a few changes to the version I'm running. I assume you won't mind, but if you would prefer to keep your script all on one page, just let me know and I'll ask for the deletion of the version in my userspace. I'm basically just going to add a little automatic replacement and such to it. It's a nice script, and it could use a couple extra features! Pyrospirit (talk · contribs) 03:48, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- I don't mind; I'm actually interested to see what you'll do. Let me know when you're done? :-) Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 11:29, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sure, I'll do that. Pyrospirit (talk · contribs) 15:25, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm done making the main change I wanted to make to the script. You can see it at User:Pyrospirit/rollbacksummary.js. I took an idea from User:Gracenotes/rollback.js and added to it. In the summary prompt,
/\$u(ser)?/iis replaced with the username of the editor being reverted; likewise,/\$re?v(ert|v)? */iis replaced with an expanded version similar to the default rollback summary. That means that a summary such as "$rv Possible [[WP:SPAM|linkspam]] issues. $u, please see the talk page." could be used to avoid extra typing and closely mimic the default rollback summary and/or the undo feature. Like it? Pyrospirit (talk · contribs) 18:08, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Degrassi
Hi. An update on the Degrassi TNG articles: each season now has it's own page, and each one is also Featured. I started a discusson at List of Degrassi: The Next Generation episodes#Summaries regarding the need of summaries on the main episode page now they're all there on the season articles. A few other episode FLs have also removed them in favor of putting them on season articles. I was really bold and made the change once already, but a user who had never edited the article reverted it a few days later. Now I'm seeking a consensus, and as a contributor to that page, would appreciate your view on it.
I saw the notice at the top of your page, so only comment if you do have the time to spare. I understand real life takes priority. Regards, and come back ASAP, -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 07:05, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm coming by here more often than I was a couple months ago. Getting better at balancing things. :-) I left a short comment on the talk page. Having been out of touch for so long, it was difficult to form an opinion based on what was happening, so I just took existing facts and put them together with my gut feelings. Is is passable?

who? what? when? where?
Is there a way to surf the internet without anyone tracking my ip address or computer location? -Angelo —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.71.42.231 (talk) 23:05, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- I haven't looked into it much myself, but I found a tutorial-type site with a quick Google search, and I posted a question on my Twitter account. I might get a better answer from that. There are several options; pick one you're comfortable with, as usual. I'll be back to answer any further questions, or if I find more info. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 02:00, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
