No problem :). I protected his page, that should drive him away for a while. -- lucasbfr talk 18:27, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- If you need any help, don't hesitate to drop me a note. Some pages to get you started in case you don't know them by heart already: WP:VAND, WP:UTM (warning templates), WP:AIV to report vandals that don't stop after sufficient warnings (normally, you need to leave at least 3 warnings before reporting). I hope that helps! -- lucasbfr talk 18:34, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Warning vandals
[edit]- I'm not sure if you already know this, but, when warning vandals, you can, rather than typing in a specific warning, use the templates {{uw-vandalism1}}, {{uw-vandalism2}}, {{uw-vandalism3}}, {{uw-vandalism4}}, and {{uw-vandalism4im}} to warn vandals. Bart133 (t) (c) 18:32, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- Complete list (and there are a lot of templates): WP:UTM. You can ask some help on how to use them on the related discussion page. -- lucasbfr talk 18:35, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
You reverted a blanking of this page: normally that would be the right thing to do, because a page-blanker is usually a vandal, but it's worth looking first at the edit history. In this case, the page blanker was the author of the article, and he did it after I had tagged the page as spam, so what he was doing was withdrawing his attempt at advertisement. When that happens, the thing to do is to add a {{db-author}} tag, which requests speedy deletion because "No one other than its original author has made substantial edits to this page, and that editor requests its deletion or has blanked the page."

Your rollback request
[edit]You're welcome: edit count isn't a good measure of trust, however: I based my decision on your recent reverts, which looked good to me. Just remember that rollback should only be used to revert vandalism, and misuse or abuse of the tool can lead to it being taken away. For practice, you may want to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 22:28, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome. :) Take care. Acalamari 22:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
rfa thanks
[edit]So that's where my missing ace of spades went! just wanted to thank you for your participation in my recent RFA. i've left some templated thank spam below. may all your cards be live and all your pots be monsters! xenocidic (talk) 00:21, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for your support
I would like to thank the community for placing their trust in me during my recent request for adminship, which passed 72 
13
2 
. Rest assured, I have read each comment thoroughly and will be addressing the various concerns raised as I step cautiously into my new role as janitor. In particular, I would like to thank Balloonman for putting so much time into reviewing my contributions and writing such a thoughtful nomination statement after knowing me for only a brief period of time (and for convincing me that I was ready to take up the mop now, rather than go through admin coaching).
To my fellow admins - please let me know right away if I ever take any mis-steps with my new tools. Should I make a mistake, and you reverse the action, I will not consider it to be wheel-warring (but please tell me so I can understand what I did wrong).
To everyone - please feel free to slap me around a bit if I ever lose sight of the core philosophy of Wikipedia as I understand it - the advancement of knowledge through the processes of mutual understanding and respect. As always, feel free to drop by my talk page if I can be of any assistance. =)
Sincerely,
~xenocidic, 01:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Congratulations! M♠ssing Ace 14:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
[edit]Thanks, i feel bad for being as rude now, i was somewhat trying to mindlessly defend myself, thinking i'd made a big mistake and i was really missing the entire point. Here's to me learning to communicate with other people better! - Jimmi Hugh (talk) 01:48, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hay, don't panic. Debates get heated and it's six of one and half a dozen of the other. No biggie! Thanks for your understanding. M♠ssing Ace 12:31, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Huggle
[edit]I've removed the warning. I apologise, but I was reverting the vandalism and clicked the button on the program a fraction of a second after you'd done the exact same thing. Thanks anyway and I'll try to be more careful in future.--Les boys (talk) 11:12, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you, Missing Ace, for your support !vote at my RFA. I will be doing my best to make sure that your confidence has not been misplaced. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 18:46, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi. re your declining the speedy on this one, I wasn't aware that videos on youtube counted for notability :-) CultureDrone (talk) 19:55, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Signature
[edit]From the coding in your signature, it looks like you want the text to be black, right? I'd switch the coding to:
'''[[User:Missing Ace|<font color="black">M♠ssing</font>]] [[User Talk:Missing Ace|<font color="black">Ace</font>]]'''
which would show up as

- Ah wow! Thanks very much! Apologies if you felt I was rude on the noticeboard - I was just clarifying I was neutral in the matter. Thanks again - i'll change it now! M♠ssing Ace 21:03, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
M♠ssing Ace 21:07, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
- Awesome. And no problem. I just wasn't sure why you had brought that other AFD up at a quick glance.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 21:21, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks again! M♠ssing Ace 21:24, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Ryan Bianchi
[edit]I'm just writing to ask why Mr Bianchi's article has been removed? There is no notification of him anywhere else on the internet because I've chosen Wikipedia first. Wikipedia is a world famous site (kind of) and I wanted to let the public know about Mr Bianchi. It's as if computer engineers aren't being taken seriously...
