User:DKqwerty

dude, what are you talking about?

clearly you have a personal vendetta against me.

some guy, politely edited my page to ask me a question. as such I replied to him, on his user page,

but I started of my comment by saying I was answering his question, and as I had never been asked, or needed to reply to one, I was writing on his user page (which is what I thought you were supposed to do. I even said, my apolgies to him, if I was answering his question in the wrong place, and the tone of my reply to his somewhat acerbic question was polite, complimentary and to the point.

as such, there is no reason to accuse me of vandalism. and clearly the only reason you said so was as a result of the fact that you have a differnt ideology, and not because i vandalized anyones page.

And as it is clear you have singled me out for harrassment I have reported you to wikipedia, for singling me out, and leveling false charges against me.

please stop harrassing me, and please do not reply to any posts I put on wiki-webpages again.

(Ghee99 (talk) 00:01, 7 July 2009 (UTC)).

No one is harassing you. You edited User:DKqwerty userpage. I reverted that edit and sent you a standard wikipedia template message (they are all listed at Wikipedia:Template_messages/User_talk_namespace#Warnings) to point out that one should not edit another user's page. I'm sure DKqwerty would like his user page how he constructed it, and I'm sure you would want to know that the talk needed to be on his talk page.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 00:17, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Actually, I didn't leave a template message, I asked him a question inappropriate for talk pages. I have since removed it, but I was using his talk page as forum rather than for improving Wikipedia. My apologies in that regard all around.
As for User:Ghee99, User:Ronhjones took issue with you replying on my user page rather than my talk page. Typically (99.9% of the time) editors do not edit other editors' user pages, only their talk pages. It's a mistake I'm surly willing to forgive (especially in light of my own) on the condition that you have learned from your mistake.
Again, my apologies for precipitating this little tiff. DKqwerty (talk) 00:37, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Bloomington-Normal

Please use an article's talk page before removing material.

If you had, you might have discovered that I live significantly closer to Bloomington-Normal, Illinois (as I live in Champaign, Illinois) whereas you live in the United Kingdom. Thus, chances are good that I have a little more in the way of knowledge about the area than you do. I know your efforts were well-intentioned, nevertheless, your zeal to remove information is contrary to Wikipedia's principle of being bold. In the future, please do the following before removing material: (1) do a quick "back-of-the-envelope" evaluation of the plausibility of the added information (is it patently ridiculous? does it seem legitimate? is there a motive to add false information of the type added? what is my own acquaintance with the subject-matter) and (2) if the previous questions lead you to the conclusion that the information is not apparent vandalism and that you are not familiar with the subject of the article (conclusions, I hasten to add, that you should have reached here), please share your misgivings on the article's discussion page before unilaterally reverting an article.

I will revert your deletion of my edits to the article. If you have misgivings, please, as directed above, voice them on the discussion page. Please keep in mind the rules prohibiting edit wars and please allow yourself to be guided by the principle that Wikipedia is not a clique and readers are invited to be bold in improving articles. While I have taken your actions as a good-faith, but misguided, attempt to police Wikipedia, I will report future vigilantism to Wikipedia administrators. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.212.175.119 (talk) 23:48, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I search through three search engines before reverting the edit (Google, Yahoo, and Ask), and none verified the data. It always pays to find a WP:RS before adding data that could be could be thought to be incorrect. The Talk Page tells me nothing - it's blank, and you are an anonymous user, you could be anywhere.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:54, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
I find that difficult to believe considering on the first page of Google search results there is an urban dictionary (a source appropriate for a slangy nickname for the area) definition of "Blo-No" as "Nickname for Bloomington-Normal, the location of Illinois State University (Normal) and Illinois Wesleyan (Bloomington) as well as Heartland CC." (See http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=blo%20no). Notably, that definition dates back to December 2006, so unless you think there is a two-and-a-half year conspiracy to vandalize a Wikipedia page about a small town in Central Illinois, I think you ought to rely on it. This is why it is important to be mindful of the limitations of your own knowledge before accusing people of vandalism. There are more things on heaven and earth, Horatio..... 98.212.175.119 (talk) 00:05, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Sadly Google only puts that up if you have the quotes (I didn't have). Maybe you could have added the reference and every body would have been happy.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 00:11, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

MP5

Hello,

I'm trying to make an edit to a search for MP5. Currently, I believe the cluBot is redirecting MP5 searches to "Heckler & Koch MP5", which is a page detailing about Heckler & Koch's MP5. This suggests that Heckler & Koch is the only maker of the MP5 to no end.

I would like to create a page for the generic term MP5 that is commonly understood as an certain type of Automatic Submachine Gun. I hope there is a way for wiki's administrators and editors to cease the prevention that is put upon me from explaining these details. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cropcircles619 (talk • contribs) 22:41, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Cluebot only reverts blanked pages, someone else created it earlier.
You have a choice...
1 Edit the MP5 page - do not blank it and save - that will make various bots and editors revert it. Maybe create a new page in your user space first and when you are happy with it then cut and paste it into MP5. Have an template:otheruses at the top of the page to direct users to the Heckler & Koch MP5 if it is what they might want.
2 If you think that most would want the Heckler & Koch MP5 page, then consider making a completely new page for your content with an appropriate title. Then change MP5 to a disambiguation page - see CCCA for a simple example - and link to your new page and MP5. Hope that helps  Ronhjones  (Talk) 22:56, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
This editor is a vandal, he keeps logging into new IP addresses (and now an account) and trying to swap the MP5 redirect with the Heckler & Koch MP5 page. Heckler & Koch designed the MP5 and other versions are manufactured by license or are unauthorized knockoffs. There is no reason to swap the pages. Some guy (talk) 01:43, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
I did wonder, but one has to WP:AGF. I'm no expert in firearms. If I see the Heckler & Koch MP5 page suddenly appear under MP5, then it will just get reverted as expected. As I've reverted once, it's now in my watchlist.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 20:19, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

BLPN: Katharine Isabelle

Hello, I already made comments at WP:BLPN about the article Katharine Isabelle. This article was suppose to be at WP:BLPN that I already made and a user already removed it and put it's archive. So I will put it's real date of birth from another website called Katharine Isabelle UK to be sourced soon and I know how to put citing sources and references. Also Internet Movie Database is not the source for it's information so I don't want IMDb. Anyways, I will put it's source from another website for the date of birth to be sourced and the website Katharine Isabelle features it's bio. I already put comments at Katharine Isabelle's talk page is located above entitled, Date of birth and you will see my comments there. Also, after I put it's date of birth to be sourced from another website. Keep an eye out for the user would get to remove it's date of birth with already it's sources, so keep an eye out for the article Katharine Isabelle. Thanks for the comments and I might be nervous on removing it's date of birth by the user. And I will put it's date of birth to be sourced from a website soon.

Template:User Patriot

I tried deleting 'Template:User Patriot'. however, you undeleted it. I've moved this template to my page under 'User:Phoenician Patriot/templates/Patriot' for uniformity sakes. What are your thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phoenician Patriot (talk • contribs) 20:35, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

  1. You should have explained (in the edit summary) that your are the template creator and have changed your name
  2. It is not necessary blank the page when using the "db-self" template - blanking often looks like vandalism
  3. Other user(s) are using your template ([1]). I would think it would be best to ask them to remove the link or copy the template for their own use before deleting the template, otherwise their pages will suddenly show a red link and they won't know why.

Presbitero Maestro

Hi, my name is Bruno Ysla, i found a message from you about a recent edit i made to the "Presbitero Maestro" article. Well, I had lived in Lima, Peru, all my life and I know 100% that that is not the "Panteon de los Proceres" is the "Cripta de los heroes". I was there and is the history of my country. The "Cripta de los heroes" is a homage to the Peruvian heros of the 1879-1883 Pacific War between Peru, Bolivia and Chile. The "Panteon de los proceres" is real but is in another place (Parque Universitario, near the meeting place of the Peruvian Congress). The term "Prócer" in Spanish means "independence hero" so is imposible that the monument in the Presbitero Maestro was the "Panteon de los proceres" because the Peru's independence time was between 1780 and 1824; if you do a close look to the picture of what you call the "Panteon de los proceres" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PICT3551.JPG) you could see this phrase: LA NACION A SUS DEFENSORES EN LA GUERRA DE 1879. The last number it doesn't clear but the previous number is a 7 not a 2. If you don't believe, do a search in images google and see. Anyway, the article without my correction is telling a lie about the history of my country.

Best regards

Bruno —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.121.183.163 (talk) 17:17, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

It is not sensible to have a picture caption that is not in line with the data on the main picture page - other editor will undoubtedly see that and revert the Presbitero Maestro page. Please see "File:PICT3551.JPG"" - which says that Personal photo of Panteón de los Próceres in the Presbitero Maestro cemetery of Lima, Peru. You may well be correct, if so, I would suggest that you contact the photo's author (User:Rafajs77 - who has the picture on his user page), to point out the error and agree to change the data on the File:PICT3551.JPG - then the change on the Presbitero Maestro page would be logical. Hope that helps.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 17:41, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Stacks on Deck Entertainment

Hello Ronhjones, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I contested the speedy deletion of Stacks on Deck Entertainment - a page you tagged - because: The article makes a credible assertion of notability, sufficient to pass A7. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. NW (Talk) 01:17, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks for letting me know. I did weigh up the pros and cons of this page, and I decided that the main "features" of...
  1. One WP:YT reference + a MySpace link
  2. Lack of a home website
  3. Just five artists, of which only one (the label owner)
Just smacked of too much self promotion. Anyway, I shall respect your viewpoint and I may well plump for an AfD.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 18:17, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, too, for the advice regarding the copyright, but this is ours (created by GGC faculty and students) so no issues there. Any way to keep it up there without having the bots continually delete it? Since we really are a college for the 21st century, elements like YouTube fit our ethos. Thanks for any help/advice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.43.124.236 (talk) 22:50, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I did not revert it, User:XLinkBot did that (it works off a pattern matching list of links to automatically revert) - I just left you an advisory note. There are so many copyright issues with most YouTube videos that they are nearly always removed. Your two best options are...
  1. Upload video to your college server, and link to that.
  2. Upload video to Wikipedia, and link to that one.
The second option is the better one, but is a little more tricky...
  • The video needs to be in Theroa OGG format (that's the only true "free" format - Media Coder is good for conversions - I used it on Arnside)
  • IIRC Only autoconfirmed users can upload files.

I have only reverted you twice...

Émile Chartier

It must be because the blogger has made the same mistake. Here's a picture of the atheist Chartier (born 1868, a.k.a. 'Alain') [2] And here's a later picture of the French-Canadian Émile Chartier, the priest (born 1876). [3]. The earlier photo (which was on the page I edited) appears here [4], the Canadian-French Catholic Association.

Even if one were to claim that photo 1 is more like photo 3 than photo 2, you would also have to explain why Alain, known to be an atheist humanist philosopher, would be wearing a clerical collar in a photograph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.241.130 (talk) 20:32, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

template swansea city

plz dont revert again. i created it and i need to fix sum thin so i trying different things out. Swanseajack4life (talk) 23:06, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

It was not reverted. If a page is blanked by the major author then most editors will put an A7 CSD template on it - don't leave it blank if you want to keep it ready.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:10, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

ok then. wat i had tried didnt work. i made a double template on the subjectthe only difference is a full stop at the end of c and i am trying to delete the one without the dot. do u know how i can sort this out? Swanseajack4life (talk) 23:13, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Have a read at WP:CSD - just add the appropriate template to the top of the page - if you are the major contributor then use the template on Template:Db-g7. Some time later and admin will delete the page for you.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:20, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate the vigilance you have shown with regard to vandalism. However, the edit I have made is not vandalism. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you still consider it to be vandalism. I will revert in good faith. --86.12.24.209 (talk) 22:40, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

I beg your pardon! lol It seems we've both been in error. The addition of mangetout was made before my edit. I think the first person to revert my edit put the correct occupation in and I changed it back unthinkingly... I didn't think about the word mangetout, embarrassingly! I shall restore my edits (and my removal of the hidden white text vandalism), WITHOUT restoring the incorrect occupation, and hopefully that will be that!

ESIS

Why? Is there a guideline? --Leyo 23:03, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Do you mean WP:D, WP:MOSDAB, and in particular MOS:DABRL? Disambiguation pages are not Articles. The "ideal" disambiguation pages is a list of two or more items, each with a single blue link, which helps the user to find the proper Article page (s)he wants.
The ideal one maybe. Ideally, European chemical Substances Information System would already exist on en-WP. On de-WP, there are hundreds of links to European chemical Substances Information System. --Leyo 23:27, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
But nothing on en-WP even links to the non existent European chemical Substances Information System page, (except this page now!) - check Special:WhatLinksHere/European chemical Substances Information System, also that red link had been in place for a year. You know what us Brits are like - we are not that interested in Europe (unless forced)! Also for what it's worth, I'm an industrial chemist, and I've not heard of it.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:36, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Nothing is ever deleted from a live article - everything is there in the history, just click the History Tab and find the one you want, you can then select edit and copy the old data so that you can paste it into the current page. The old page you want can be seen at [[5]], but it cannot be left live until the reference is obtained.

Calcium gluconate

Thanks for the nice new SVG structure at calcium gluconate. I've put it in the appropriate category on Commons.

One thing needs attention: the negative charges on the gluconate ions are missing so pale that you can barely see them!

Ben (talk) 14:22, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

I did notice, and I have been playing around with Isis and Scribus to see if there is an easy answer - in the end I think it will be an Inkscape tweak - the "bars" are just a single bar in Svg, so one can fairly easily adjust the width without upsetting the rest of the drawing. Question! - how wide? Inkscape put it as 0.125 thick - compared to the width of a single bond at 0.750. Should I make it the same, or a wee bit less - say 0.500 (4 x thicker than original). I've the same problem to fix with Calcium diglutamate.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 19:25, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Same thickness as the lettering and the bonds, I guess. As long as it's legible.

Wally11 (talk) 00:03, 27 August 2009 (UTC)Aug 26, 2009

One must remember that no-one owns a page, and everyone can edit. Where there are errors found, then I always say that the best plan is to edit each error carefully, citing a good WP:RS (placed as an in-line reference - important) and save. Then it is unlikely that editors will revert it. Where a page has been static for some time and is then changed with no or poor in-line reference, you will find that the reversion will be fast as rollbackers (WP:ROLL) will see that page as soon as it is saved. One can always make a copy of the page in a personal sandbox, and then it's possible to re-jig without any interference, until you decide that it fully meets WP requirements and then change the main page.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 11:22, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

  2. I never claimed authourship - the message you saw was Tagging page for speedy deletion, blanked or requested by creator (HG), which is a standard message generated by WP:HG, used when editors see a page that has been created by an editor is then subsequently blanked - they can then apply a Wikipedia:SD#G7 speedy template.
  3. I saw that the page was created by "Drsjpdc" and then blanked some 5 hours later by the same user, thus I called up the G7 template routine, assuming it was not required anymore.
  4. I later realized the error - in that a Category page can be blank and still work, so I tidied it up.

Ethanol

Hello. I rewrote Ethanol and added a reference point. Hope it works. Aptak (talk) 22:52, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

OK, I'd like to know what water solubility has to do with pipeline transport.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 22:54, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

That is a very good question! Water and water vapors are present in modern fuel pipelines in minor quantities. Ethanol attracts water. If you attempt to transport ethanol over long enough distances, you end up having a cocktail of ethanol and water at the end of the pipe - a mixture that cannot be used as fuel, unless you separate the two substances. It is a well known phenomenon, and a big problem for the ethanol industry. Aptak (talk) 23:08, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see, and probably because they would go for a cheap option that uses a pipeline material that in not impermeable to water! Thanks for the detail.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:10, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Here is a link that explains all better. [6]Aptak (talk) 23:13, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for that link, I'll have a read tomorrow.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:14, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for helping revert all of that vandalism on my userpage. It's amazing that I didn't have to revert any of it because you and a few other people kept beating me to it. --TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 23:46, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Warning deleted

Just wanted to check with you about this edit you made: [7] It seems you deleted my warning to the user, and I think you did it by accident, but just wanted to check if it was for another reason? ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 00:01, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

As far as I know it's an occasional WP:HG bug. I've heard about, but it's never happened to me before. Feel free to re-instate any deletion.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 00:04, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Gotcha. I've reinstated it. Thanks! ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 00:06, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

He is pretty fit for a ginger, though. I'd shag him. Although he'd have to wash his hands first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.15.41.187 (talk) 22:40, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Colonial Masses

its not been officially confirmed, please take it down immediately or I will report it to someone more senior on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.196.55.102 (talk) 23:52, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

The page title is Colonial Masses, therefore the infobox has to agree. If you are sure that the article is incorrect then you must request deletion of the page by adding the appropriate WP:CSD to the top of the article. I would suggest a {{db-g3}} in that case. Then the merits (or not) can be discussed on the talk page.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:58, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

OK. thank you for replying. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.196.55.102 (talk) 00:00, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks man. Yeah, I wasn't sure if it was true or not but my mate Ewan said it was true and he's a pretty solid guy so i thought "i'd better put it in just to be safe" but i guess you lot need like a citation or summat so i'mma find a reliable source for you guys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.54.70.64 (talk) 23:10, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Nice teamwork

Hi there RONHJONES, VASCO here,

Ty very much for your assistance in dealing with this poor excuse for an editor (as seen here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Julio_Salinas&action=history); i reported him once and he did not like it one bit. Since, he tends to edit - with a seemingly neverending supply of IPs - in articles in which i worked in mere hours/days before, writing all kind of lies/foul language. Charming...

Thanks once again, have a nice weekend from Portugal (will this "user" also vandalize this message? He could),

VASCO AMARAL - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 14:45, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback. Always happy to assist in reverting bad edits. Sadly that IP is owned by "Tiscali (UK)" who I know do use dynamic addressing, so every time time they log on - they get a new IP number.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 18:34, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

The Thompson Twins

Could you have a look at the recent edits to this article. I do not want to get to the "three edits and you're out" stage with User:87.12.240.215 - but I think he/she needs stopping before further rubbish is posted here, or elsewhere. Can you assist ? Thanks,

Derek R Bullamore (talk) 13:57, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

I see what you mean. I've added it to my watch list. I've added an ISP template to their talk page - the resolved host name would suggest a static address. If so, they may not continue to press their own POV, as they could get too many warnings and get a block.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 19:45, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Thnaks, bro.  :)

Some people clearly have nothing better to do than to coordinate stupid offsite attacks. Thank you SO much for assisting me with that idiot on my talk page.  :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 23:40, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

My pleasure. I like the fact that it must have taken some time to set up that vandalism, and I reverted it and warned him with one single press of the "Q" key in WP:HG :-)  Ronhjones  (Talk) 19:14, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Akhil Bharatiya Ram Rajya Parishad

It is not vandalise ; there is a reference.

Thank you to respect the information... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.9.195.124 (talk) 22:39, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

I never said there was no reference - the message said you deleted content (with references) without explanation - that is vandalism  Ronhjones  (Talk) 22:42, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

KKCK/NeutralHomer

KKCK is a top 40 station with a recognized modern rock lean to the music mix. I'm adding factual information to clarify the angle of the format. NeutralHomer appears to have a serious problem like this and continues to revert my one sentence edit. The assertion I make is obvious by the station's playlist but I don't cite that as a separate link because the station is already linked to on the page. Please stop undoing a perfectly honest, truthful addition that describes this radio station. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.101.226.27 (talk) 23:15, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

I know nothing about "NeutralHomer" - I saw a non referenced addition - one can always use a named reference to add a duplicate source.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:22, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Breathe on Me

Breathe on Me was a major song, it charted, it was a planned single, and even was released as a single in some countries. It has as much right to be a page as Kill The Lights. And so does (I Got That) Boom Boom. Leave a message on the talk of Ahoskinson 95. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.162.92.233 (talk) 23:02, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

It was put up for WP:AFD and the verdict was redirect both Breathe on Me and (I_Got_That)_Boom_Boom to In the Zone - please see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/(I_Got_That)_Boom_Boom_2, that was less than 2 weeks ago - I doubt if the intervening time has made any difference.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:08, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Do you know who this is? They claim to have been here 5 years. Is it a sock of someone? Toddst1 (talk) 23:22, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

No idea. You would need to ask an admin. Certainly that IP address was only used tonight - with some very speedy edits - average of around 3 pages per minute, I would think that's very fast for an IP (don't they still have to fill in a CAPTCHA? - how can one do a sensible edit and fill in the captcha in 20 seconds, I think (s)he must have had all the pages stored locally and pasted the data in one hit.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:30, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
Well, I am an admin, and I don't know. I've left a note on the users page. Toddst1 (talk) 23:56, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
Maybe you need to have CheckUser rights? - WP:RFCU?  Ronhjones  (Talk) 00:07, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Yep. I've considered applying for Checkuser more than once. It would certainly be helpful. Toddst1 (talk) 00:10, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Pittsburgh

Ronhjones,

The Talk:Pittsburgh Page was a mess.

Much of the commentary was almost two years old and it lost its potency.

The Pittsburgh Page needs work or as they say in the Burgh needs worked on and I fear the mess would discourage new blood from helping to raise the quality of the article.

Can you please revert and leave my 2008-2009 archive in place?

Botendaddy (talk) 00:38, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

I'll sort it out properly for you with a bot. Then it will never be a mess again. May take a while for the bot to act, will be all done within a day  Ronhjones  (Talk) 00:41, 24 September 2009 (UTC)


Thanx bro, I may have been a bit clumsy with it, but I figured if it was archived everyone could gind all of their stuff. I did leave a comment, but I may have zoned on the edit summary, "best of intentions???"

Best Regards, the Botendaddy (talk) 00:43, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

No problems. I've set it to 6 months old and 8 threads minimum. See what that is like, if it needs a tweak to archive a bit more then you can change the parameters in the MiszaBot section I've added, I've set the counter to 4 - that's the archive file that the bot will use, when the page gets to the size limit, it will automatically increase the counter.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 01:01, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

It's a fine bot, I'll have to remember it, Peace the Botendaddy (talk) 05:48, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
