Hello, Scythre. You have new messages at Notedgrant's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

I have a strange feeling Thanks for noticing my userbox .Your page is awesome :D --Notedgrant (talk) 18:46, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

D Thats cool You will be an admin in no time :D.I'll try requesting for that rollback tool too hope they accept --Notedgrant (talk) 21:32, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

RASP I've got roll back too we are even :D How did you mange to edit 1000+ articles in a span of three days--Notedgrant (talk) 22:23, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

99% of those are welcoming new users, with other being reverting vandalism, archiving user's talk pages, nominating afd's and other little things :) --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 22:32, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Whoa you have done a hell lota things out here --Notedgrant (talk) 22:37, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Unified Login Template

I was looking for the Unified Login template. --Scythre (talk) 19:21, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Do you mean this one? VI ^talk 19:25, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes, thankyou. --Scythre (talk) 19:26, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

No problem :) VI ^talk 19:28, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Hope this isn't stepping on your toes

I boldly, and probably illegally, removed your warning here. Wikipedia:Introduction specifically invites people to experiment on that page, so I thought a warning might be confusing and cause trouble; better to remove first (hopefully before they saw it), then talk to you. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:02, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

No, your right, I'm sorry. I'm new and I thought, because it wasn't the sandbox, it was illegal. You were in the right to remove that warning. Thanks, --Scythre (talk) 20:13, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

OK, no worries, this place certainly has a learning curve. Keep up the good work. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:22, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

AfD

I've listed an article for deletion, but don't know what to do now! How do I get it on today's log or anything? This is the first AfD I've done. --Scythre (talk) 20:45, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

I've fixed it. In the future, you can follow the steps listed at WP:AFDHOWTO to list an article, or you can use a tool like Twinkle that handles all the steps for you. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 20:54, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks so much. And I would use Twinkle, but I run on IE. --Scythre (talk) 20:55, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

hi

isn't this a great fish

welcome template

ummm, hello! You tossed the welcome template on my page, but I believe you got confused between my account being new... and me making a new account. :D no worries, just letting you know. thanks! MatthewYeager 00:36, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry about that. I'm new here and got confused. Thanks! :) --Scythre (talk) 07:50, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Goodraise09 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Just so you'll know, that was not a good-faith edit. It was a "test" being conducted by one of the endless socks of the banned Pioneercourthouse (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). You would have no way to know that, as the evidence is kind of hidden. This is just FYI, if you're interested. :) Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 01:20, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh ok. If he is a sock, is he not being blocked then? Thanks! :) --Scythre (talk) 07:50, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

He was blocked shortly after making that edit. Wknight94 ^talk 12:37, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, good to know. --Scythre (talk) 12:38, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Your welcome message

You added a welcome message to my talk page a while ago. Perhaps, like a user who wrote you above, you confused me with a new user because I created several accounts last night. The accounts will never be used, and are for archival purposes; see the history of their user pages or their contributions. Graham87 04:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I apologise. As I said, I'm new, and still coming to grips with all of this. Thanks! --Scythre (talk) 07:50, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, I have been accused of having the fastest keyboard in the east... --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 14:11, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Font color

I was looking for the color codes to edit my signatures, i.e Scythre etc. I'm sure I've seen a list of colours somewhere? --Scythre (talk) 14:49, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

There's a list of colours to use here. →javért ^chat 14:53, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! :) --ScythreTalk 15:03, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Quite welcome. Feel free to drop me a note on my talk page if you need help with anything else. :) →javért ^chat 15:11, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Your message

Thanks - if you're offering to archive it for me I won't say no, it's something I never worked out what to do. Valenciano (talk) 20:36, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

The same goes for me!! Thank you! db Raul17 (talk) 22:49, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you!! m(_ _)m Raul17 (talk) 22:59, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Again, my thanks Raul17 (talk) 23:02, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Twinkle

Hi there! Thank you for the compliment. :) Twinkle is a useful tool for reverting vandalism and warning users. To enable it, go to your prefs, click "Gadgets", and select Twinkle. It only works on Firefox, Safari, or Opera though. If you have Internet Explorer, then Popups are useful for reverting vandalism. They're also under "Gadgets". Happy editing! --[midnight comet] [talk] 23:50, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, since I run on IE, I might try popups, although I do have Safari installed; its just not what I contribute with. --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 08:46, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Editing war?

I don't think there's an editing war. Devoindahouse thinks there should be no player nicknames in the Madrid roster. Since he is the man, I am bowing to his wishes. If you noticed, the last three edits were reverted after I left a message with the editor and there seem to be an understanding and there appears to be no complaints. So there's no editing war here. Thanks for the corcern, though. Raul17 (talk) 00:46, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

I was just warning you, because you made 3 reverts on one article in the space of 24 hours, which broke WP:3RR. Don't do it again or you might get blocked. --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 08:46, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Archiving

Sure. I was thinking of doing it sometime soon. :) FireCrystal (talk) 20:29, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok. Thank you. :) FireCrystal (talk) 20:44, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Rollback

I have 1 granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 20:54, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Now you, too, can be a rollback ninja. --Smashville^talk 21:05, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Julian, and Smash, I am the real rollback ninja. You only beat me to reverting as the servers went down. You've won this round, but the fight goes on... :) --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 21:08, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Todd Ross

I saw you created a AfD for Todd Ross. Can I ask why you did not CSD it instead? ttonyb1 (talk) 23:11, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm new here and have only AfD'd a few articles. I only thought admins could CSD, but thanks for the heads up. Is it CSD'd/been deleted or still in discussion? --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 23:12, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Anyone can WP:CSD or WP:PROD and both are desirable to an AfD. I went ahead and CSD the article, an Admin will have to close the AfD. My best to you. ttonyb1 (talk) 23:18, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Actually, Tony, that's incorrect. A non-admin editor in good standing may close applicable XfDs that fit the criteria listed here. Thus, I've gone ahead and closed the deletion discussion. Best, →javért ^chat 01:29, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of pages.

Welcome. My pleasure. --Efe (talk) 03:20, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

creating templates

Hi Scrythe,

Thanks for your welcome message. I don't know if I should ask you this question but I will. On some pages e.g. Francisco J. Viñas the edit begins the page with something called {{LDSGAinfo

Now I figure this is the title of some template predefined somewhere else by someone else. To edit the page Wilford W. Andersen as the 2 gentleman use the LDSGAinfo I copied this and started.

My question is can new templates similar to LDSGAinfo be created for other purposes and if so how.

Also, should I delete something accidently and don't realise it and can't 'crtl z' how do I let wiki or someone know I made a mistake to fix it?

If you don't know the answers let me know. I will check your talk page and mine.

thanks in advance, good luck with the GSCEs. SS Stuartsampson (talk) 03:39, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm not too good with templates to be honest, as the only ones I use are welcome templates. But I'll give your question a go :) By looking at the pages you mentioned, there are link on both pages; there are: LDS Church General Authority. LDS = The Church Of Latter Day Saints and GA refers to General Authority. General Authority can be defined as this (by the article): In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), a general authority is a member of certain leadership organizations who are given administrative and ecclesiastical authority over the church. So, to me, it seems like the {{LDSGAinfo is a infobox, just for people with General Authority of the LDS. Here's a link to an infobox: [[1]]: this is used when writing articles about someone, like the LDSGA infobox. I don't know of any other LDSGA infoboxes or something similar, as I'm not very well versed in templates, especially ones about the church. Everything you need about creating templates can be found at H:T though. On to your other question, it depends where you deleted it from; I'd say just go to the History and undo whatever edit you did, and the information should be restored. Could you be more specific on what you deleted (maybe provide a link?) As I said, I'm not too good with this stuff and I'm only new, but I hope it helped and answered your question. If this didn't answer your question I'll place the helpme template on your talk page for you anyway; Good luck, thanks for coming to me and thanks for the good luck :), --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 09:08, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok thanks for the H:T link. I will study out those pages and see what I can come up with. I have not deleted anything, but I saw it as a very real possibility when I accidentally did a "ctrl a" in and everything was highlighted! One more keystroke and they I would have been hoping 'ctrl z' works. thanks Stuartsampson (talk) 12:31, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm a frequent user of mylot.I thought about contesting the removal.(My friends on the lot informed me about the article)When I found out you had moninated the article I thought it would be better not to :D Have a good day and my apologies for contesting your tag of speedy removal.--Notedgrant (talk) 20:56, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Its fine :) --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 20:57, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Note.

Hey, just letting you know that I removed your WP:A7 tag on the Panfu article and replaced it with an AFD discussion. A7 is for Web content, and not the software that games like Panfu use. Feel free to leave a comment there.Thanks!--Gordonrox24 | ^Talk 14:32, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Constructive contributions are appreciated and strongly encouraged, but your recent edit to the userpage of another user may be considered vandalism. Specifically, your edit to User talk:WWGB may be offensive or unwelcome. In general it is considered polite to avoid substantially editing others' userpages without their permission. Instead, please bring the matter to their talk page and let them edit their user page themselves if they agree on a need to do so. Please refer to Wikipedia:User page for more information on User page etiquette. Thank you. WWGB (talk) 14:51, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Erm, no. SteveO (talk) 19:18, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok, good. Just checking as I'm very anti-BNP :) --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 19:29, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Tis okay. English patriotism and anti-fascism are not incompatible. Best. SteveO (talk) 19:48, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I've declined your csd nom of Aisling walsh

All that is required to avoid speedy deletion is a claim of notability, which this article had when you tagged it. Failure to actually establish notability is a criterion for WP:PROD or WP:AFD, but a mere assertion of notability is sufficient grounds not to speedy delete.
