Hello. Welcome to Flameviper's talk page. This is a place where you can leave messages for me. I will read them and reply, either here or at your talk page. Please do not troll, flame, or do anything else to piss me off. Thank you. ~ Flameviper
Hey, Netsnipe!
[edit]Hey there, buddy. I was just wondering...
Being a Flash animator, I always think of new ideas for a Flash, and I just thought of animating administrators fighting vandals. How would you like it if I animated you fighting WoW and WiC? If so, please tell me what you'd like to look like, so I can do it correctly. Thanks. ~ Flameviper 16:20, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- No thanks. Please find someone else to be your model or come up with your own character. I personally follow Wikipedia:Deny recognition so sorry, I'll have to pass. -- Netsnipe ► 16:40, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
It is not protected, and (according to the log) has never been. Please fix it yourself, and don't misuse the {{editprotected}} tag for this. Thanks. JesseW, the juggling janitor 08:01, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- Um...thanks? ~ Flameviper 15:45, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
[edit]SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- ForteTuba 23:43, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Adoption criteria
[edit]JUst to let you know, I added a lot to the criteria discussion page. I also organized it, but you can undo that if you don't like it. I feel it is easier now to see how everything flows now than how it was. Randfan 21:06, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Page design
[edit]Hi how are you? Thanks for that. So I was being bold and I started making a new design, and probably is not as good as other programs' design. Oh well, please see it and give me some feedback. Thank you very much! Imoeng 00:21, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Neat idea for a category, but could I ask you to make it category:Wikipedians who are currently online? At Wikipedia:User categories for discussion, we've been getting rid of most of the category names with "Users" in the title. Thanks!--Mike Selinker 09:07, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

adopt-a-user criteria (exact rules/guidelines and discussions for them)
[edit]I added a new page for the exact rules/guidelines I used the rules from Prop. #3 and Prop. #4. The link can be found at the top of the criteria page. Feel free to add to! Cheers! Randfan 22:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
User:Flameviper/Status_changer
[edit]Your mod User:Flameviper/Status_changer of my status changer script uses outdated code - many of the problems you point out on that page have been solved by newer versions of the status changer script. You should consider revising that page to take advantage of the status changer updates. ~Topaz♪♫∆ 07:37, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Adopt-a-user on the Esperanza page
[edit]Hey Flameviper,
I've taken the link to Adopt-a-user off the Esperanza programs menu, just because it isn't really an Esperanza program, and I wanted to let you know so you didn't think I was arbitrarily taking it off. Though there are many programs that are great in Wikipedia, that section is really only for Esperanza programs. If you have any questions, definitly let me know. -- Natalya 17:18, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
- Eh... I was going to just add it, but I see now that you need consensus. OK. ~ Flameviper 17:47, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
You seem to have some misunderstanding about what the project is, we are a project to build a free encyclopedia, not some crusade against web filtering software. --pgk 19:16, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- We are still an encyclopedia, not an anti censorship project. If you want to setup your own website using imaginative mis-spellings to bypass filtering others may choose to do, then you are more than welcome. If you want to put out a general proposal to permit such redirects on wikipedia I suggest the village pump. --pgk 20:45, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Inserting content
[edit]Thanks, believe it or not that's been there for quite some time and you are pretty much the first (perhaps second) to actually insert anything other than abuse... --pgk 21:41, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Yep, "Yall got a llama-gram"
[edit]Actually, I changed it to "You became a llama" about a month ago. I'm very strange. --The Great Llama talk 22:33, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Article about Wikipedia Users - Adoption
[edit]Hello,
I am a freelance writer working on an article about the wide array of people who make Wikipedia their life, their passion, their pastime. Wikipedia “addicts” if you will. I'm also looking at all the "behind the scenes" goings on at Wikipedia that the average reader of the site never knows about. I intend on focusing a little on several of the unofficial Wikipedia organizations that members are a part of such as Esperenza et al. To this end I would like to speak to you about your participation in the "Adoption Program". If you are interested in participating, please email me at (e-mail address redacted) FFFearlesss 20:46, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Post me
[edit]Hi there,
You said you'd be willing to talk about your experiences with Wikipedia. What I've been having people do is just start off by telling me your story with Wikipedia. How did you get started? What made you get more involved? What do you spend your time working on these days? Are you involved in any of the wiki programs on the site. Whatever you feel is pertinent to "your story" and then we'll go from there.
Thanks for the advice on the email. Yeah I'm already realizing the goof there. I think once this particular article is done I'm going to have to create a new email address because I'm already getting loads of spam. Live and learn I guess. :-)
Thanks,
Brian
Getting on with WP:Adoption
[edit]Hi Flameviper,
Since getting involved in WP:Adopt things seem to be going on nicely if slowly. The number of people getting adopted is slowly increasing, and they never seem to stay in the "want to be adopted" category for too long. But if we really want the Project to work - it needs to go to the next level, and be seen as one of the formal ways that new Wikipedians are welcomed into Wikipedia.
I wondered what your thoughts or plans were (as you seem to be the founder of the project from what I can work out). I suppose I worry that if the project does not move fast enough it will never make it and then drift off into deletion. I don't want that, and I am willing to put in a lot of time and effort to make the project an essential part of Wikipedia.
Your thoughts on this would be gratefully welcomed. Lethaniol 17:31, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Template
[edit]Of course my edit was in good faith - and yes I knew it looked crap ( am not an arty person:( )- I think your version looks much better, thanks. I was just trying to make it easier for Adopters to check the cat, and so in the near future when we have even more adoptees we can cope.
Hey I hope you are happy with the direction the program is taking, and would be cool if you could comment on the Adopter Criteria - I think we are near to consensus. Also I just noticed this - [1]. Looks like other wikis are noticing your idea - hope you are proud.
Cheers Lethaniol 16:31, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Changi Airport Skytrain
[edit]Hi, just letting you know I removed the prod tag that you placed on the article Changi Airport Skytrain, as I don't agree it is clear-cut and uncontroversial to claim it "reeks of non-notability". Please take it to AfD if you feel strongly that it should be deleted. Regards, Canley 09:52, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Your sig
[edit]Seems to contains links to external websites, which is not permissible per WP:SIG, and may constitute linkspam. Re the Gundam AFDs, I agree with you in principle about merging, but to where? Cheers, Moreschi Deletion! 14:24, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Your Signature
[edit]I see I'm not the first, and I certainly won't be the last. Please consider sorting out your signature, which is evidently designed to trick people into visting your external website, and causes nothing but inconvenience and disruption. Thanks. CiaranG 22:38, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Okay then. Apparently, a redirect to my user page is not acceptable? Just as well. I'll take care of that tomorrow.
Status thing
[edit]OK, so it's not working for me, but I've always had problems using User:JP06035/monobook.js. Could you help me? Also, does this automatically enable other users to see the status as well, or do they need the code too? → JARED (t) 00:37, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have that problem quite frequently myself. Monobook simply doesn't like us for some reason... Wikipedia:Monobook (which I wrote a large portion of) chould help you out with yuor problems. And to answer your second question, no. Any user can see your changed status, even anons. However, it is prudent to include something along the lines of "I am currently {{:User:JP06035/Status}}" on your userpage to indicate others to your status (saving them the trouble of checking it themselves. Also, when you look for your status page, remember that Status is capitalized. I didn't know that and spent two hours trying to find out what was wrong... but I guess you learn from your mistakes (or mine). ~ Flameviper 00:46, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
It's Sickler
[edit]He made another movie parody, this one about Matrix...
- Sny runs into his office in a suit*
Guy: The bosses want to see you.
Sny: Fuck.
- In a skyscraper office*
Sny: *Sits down in front of a desk*
Sickler: *Sits behind it* You're late again?
Flameviper: *Standing beside the desk, with his coat off* YOU'RE A GODDAMN DEGENERATE ASSHOLE!!
Sny: I-
Sickler: You're very disappointing to the company.
Flameviper: You... *Bangs hand on desk* are pathetic
Sickler: I don't know why I don't fire you.
Sny: Look, I-
Sickler: I'm incredibly disappointed...
Flameviper: I SHAT ON YOUR DESK!
Sny: ....
Sickler: ... You see?... You see what happens?
Sny: ... Is he serious?
Flameviper: *Eye twitches*
Sny: ... You honestly took a shit on my desk didn't you?
Flameviper: ....
Sickler: This is your fault... you brought in on yourself.
Flameviper: You have a cat, don't you, you son of a bitch?
Sny: I-... Yes, I have a cat.
Flameviper: I'm gonna kill it.
Sny: You're not killing my cat.
Flameviper: YES I AM! I'm gonna cut its head off while you're sleeping!
Sny: *To Sickler* What the fuck is wrong with this guy?
Sickler: He's my go-to-guy... You keep slackin' off, he's gonna ride you... like an ostrich.
Flameviper: LIKE A BIG BIRD, WITH WINGS!
Sickler: You see? He's good at his job.... You aren't. So we're deducting your pay.
Sny: WHAT?!
Sickler: You brought this on yourself.
Flameviper: ON YOUR FUCKING SELF!
Sny: ..... Maybe I'd do better at my job if someone would tell be what exactly we do here. I've worked here for 3 years, and I still have no idea what our office does.
Sickler: We're a multi-media front-running managing corporation.
Flameviper: AND WE'RE THE GODDAMN BEST AT IT!
Sny: Yeah.... What do we do?
Sickler: ....... Go back to work.
Flameviper: GO!
Sny: .... *Gets up and leaves*
Sickler: *Turns to Flameviper* Nice job.
Flameviper: I made him my ostrich.
Sickler: Yes, you certainly did.
Flameviper: *Stares at hand* I... shat on his desk.

WP:ADOPT
[edit]Hi there,
As a current Adopter with the Adopt-a-User program there has been some ongoing developments that we would like to bring to your attention.
A new Adopter's Area has been created where you can find useful resources and other Adopter's experiences. Please feel free to add any resources you may have found useful as an Adopter, as well as recount any experiences that you think may help others. If you know of any useful resources for new users / Adoptees then you can add them here.
Also the way the adoption process works has changed slightly. To decrease workload at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user, on offering adoption please change the {{Adoptme}} template to {{Adoptoffer}} on the user's user page, and this will add the user to Category:Wikipedians having been offered adoption. Users that have already been offered adoption can always have a second or third offer, but by separating out those users that have not had an adoption offer yet, it is hoped that no one will go lacking.
Furthermore numerous Adopters have been adding their details to a list of users available for adopting, to offer a more personalised service and allow new users to browse through and pick their own Adopter. The quickest way to adopt though, is still to contact users at the Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user.
Finally - thanks for all your hard work, keep it up - and if you have any general questions or suggestions about the further development of Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User please bring them to our talk page. Cheers Lethaniol 13:52, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

- He blocked your account because it appeared that it had been compromised. Take a look at your e-mail, as he has sent you one, and correspond with him to clarify. Thanks. —bbatsell ¿? 23:04, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- My account is completely normal as of now. This is Flameviper. And as for the e-mail, I already sent him one. He replied saying he believed my account to be compromised, I repied to that, and he has yet to reply to that. User:Flameviper12/sig 23:25, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- All fixed now. Sorry for the delay -- I was (gasp) out shopping. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 23:58, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- Ha, ha... Thanks. User:Flameviper12/sig 00:41, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing that mo'fo trainwreck of an article. I'm not very skilled at Gundam :P ~ Flameviper Who's a Peach? 00:56, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- It still needs heavy editing and cleanup, but at least the stats aren't blowing it out of proportions. --Farix (Talk) 01:00, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Re: Holy crap!
[edit]Hi Flame! That username is not mine. So, sorry but I don't think you know me. Anyway, thanks for posting on my page. Can you review an article I have been working on to expand and improve, if you get time? It is System requirements. The original version that I found is here. I need as many opinions and advices on that article, as possible. Please leave your comments on the article talk page. Mahalo! --Vikas Kumar Ojha Talk to me! 01:21, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
You sure got acool way of organizing your Userpage. I'll steal many ideas from you!

- Cool. Thanks. ~ Flameviper Who's a Peach? 16:15, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your appreciative comment on System requirements. Never thought the work was good enough to be called 1337. Thanks again!
