We've had this talk before a few weeks ago but I need you to review my creation of the page UDWiki:Administration/Protections/Scheduling/Archive to archive the protection bid, on account of me not being able to find an archive for scheduled protections (maybe they were just purged after a while)? I'm tired and it might actually be out there... Or maybe the scheduled protections that already existed were made so through policy, I don't know atm. Basically, can you check the page UDWiki:Administration/Protections/Scheduling/Archive if that page shouldn't be there, please consider this a request for crit 7 (and a crit 1) and delete it on sight after reverting this edit please.

Cyberbob  Talk  04:23, 10 August 2009 (BST) I told him not to do it again, on his talk page, before noticing the group page thing. Just a newbie (perhaps n00by) thing, I think. If he does similar again, I would though -- boxy talk • teh rulz 04:28 10 August 2009 (BST) Righto. Cyberbob  Talk  04:31, 10 August 2009 (BST) So let me get this straight...I can't create pages on groups and people that entered into a rather sizeable siege on a fort and were rather important players, but you can go ahead and make slanderous comments on your talk page about me for all the world to see? Talk behind my back? That just goes to show that authority is not always right. And don't go saying things like "you did the same thing slandering Bustass and her group": you know for a fact that it was intended to be humorous. Lighten up! It's a joke. -- Chekken 03:23, 11 August 2009 (BST) Only it's not very funny... creepy does seem to fit though -- boxy talk • teh rulz 03:27 11 August 2009 (BST) After having heard about the requests on IRC for naked photos I'll second the "creepy" motion. Cyberbob  Talk  03:32, 11 August 2009 (BST) Acutall Chekken, you were a lot more slanderous about it, and the way you went about it. That's why I said something originally to Bob on his talk page. -Poodle of doom 03:40, 11 August 2009 (BST) That doesn't mean that you can be slanderous to me on a different page. It's practically the same thing. I find it hard to believe that you would use hostile terms towards somebody who is new to your community. But you did. That is slander. -- Chekken 03:53, 11 August 2009 (BST) We don't need a reason to be slanderous ;p Seriously though. User pages and group pages shouldn't be edited in such a way, unless you're very sure that the people who own them would approve of what you're doing with them. I see no indication that Col. Bustass wants you making up shit about her, and the group she used to belong to, so keep your fantasies to your own group or user pages, please -- boxy talk • teh rulz 03:57 11 August 2009 (BST) Here we go again. More insults. "Fantasies"? Pardon me, but what in the blue hell are you talking about? I'm going to say it for the millionth time: it is satire. If it isn't funny, I'll take some suggestions and rewrite it. It is not a "fantasy", I am not TRYING to be creepy. It wasn't even finished yet; it was a work in progress. Now if somebody had BOTHERED to show me where the template for that is, I would have put it on my page and accepted criticism as humbly as I could. If it isn't funny, you comment on it on the discussion page, not send it immediately for deletion. --Chekken 04:04, 11 August 2009 (BST) Don't bother answering, Boxy. This one is well-versed in the art of self-convincing. Cyberbob  Talk  04:07, 11 August 2009 (BST) How do you figure I was being slanderous towards you Chekken? I'd like to see proof of that. WAIT!! I GOT A BETTER IDEA!!! Let's take your attitude towards me and the rest of the community to Arbitration if you really think I'm that dead set on brining you down. Shit! Maybe even boxy or bob here would like to volenteer as Arbitrator? -Poodle of doom 04:13, 11 August 2009 (BST) I have no attitude towards "the community" at all; how can I even have an opinion in the first place? I haven't MET the community yet. And if my welcome party will be a bunch of people insulting and excessively criticising my work, then maybe this is not where I should be spending my time. My problem is you GOING AROUND on MY PAGES...the pages I myself have written...and insulting me. If you have a problem with me, then you can be man enough to go on my talk page and send me a message explaining what is wrong. Yeah, you really expect me to go to Arbitration so that I can participate in (what I assume will be) a one-sided, biased session and be ganged up on? Well hell, if you want to so badly, I would love to be insulted further and embarrassed in front of the community. Oh, and your spelling is off. Might want to fix that. --Chekken 04:22, 11 August 2009 (BST) Sigh. Cyberbob  Talk  04:25, 11 August 2009 (BST) Shouldn’t put down a dyslexic fellow for having a few spelling issues. On that note,…. Bob, Boxy,… either or both of you care to join us? -Poodle of doom 04:29, 11 August 2009 (BST) I think Bob's trying to drop me a subtle cue to let it go.... right? -Poodle of doom 04:31, 11 August 2009 (BST) You know what? This is really stupid. I don't even understand what we're fighting about anymore. Delete the damn article if it's such a poke in the butthole for you guys. Just...can I have suggestions first before an article is deleted? I will observe the rules about group/individual wiki's in the future. And Boxy, I'm sorry. --Chekken 04:35, 11 August 2009 (BST) Can you re-upload an image? Image:Firulais.jpg was deleted last month for lack of use. However, it is still in use in the Dulston News Archive. I've asked the deleter, and learned that deletion cannot be undone. So, I'm asking you, as the original uploader of that image, to upload it again, if you still have it. -- Kittithaj 20:36, 30 July 2009 (BST) Done -- boxy talk • teh rulz 21:24 30 July 2009 (BST) Page move Hey can I get that Smooth Criminals page moved now please?

How about i just make A/MR redirect right here??--xoxo 09:36, 27 July 2009 (BST) Hey, hey chuckles. Don't sweat it. There's already been a request put on that page for this move, and I said I'd do it once the deletions request was served. We don't need to go through A/MR for moves anyway, it's just more convenient to do so for non-sysops -- boxy talk • teh rulz 09:43 27 July 2009 (BST) There is nothing in the guidelines to say a sysop can only move pages via A/MR. It is only deleting things and, I think, protecting things. --ϑϑℜ 09:55, 27 July 2009 (BST) And banning things ;) -- boxy talk • teh rulz 09:56 27 July 2009 (BST) yawn thanks for that charlie.--xoxo 13:25, 27 July 2009 (BST) If that's sarcasm, I won't be impressed... --ϑϑℜ 13:27, 27 July 2009 (BST) Sorry, it was :P come down one weekend and we'll hit it up a'ight? --xoxo 13:34, 27 July 2009 (BST) Welcomenewbie Template Hey Boxy. Wanted to ask: why is the {{subst:WN}} version of the Welcomenewbie template is protected, while the main one isn't?--User:Axe27/Sig 21:26, 23 July 2009 (BST) To prevent newbies from editing it by following header links like from this page. Here's the protection request -- boxy talk • teh rulz 22:31 23 July 2009 (BST) Ok, thanks. I had forgotten about that protection request. --User:Axe27/Sig 22:47, 23 July 2009 (BST) Yap You're right.

It didn't when I checked a few pages either...3 minutes after the edit and when the job queue was probably still chugging along...whoops... --  RoosterDragon  15:32, 16 July 2009 (BST) No worries. Putting that variable in there ended up calling a template in the name of the block, instead of the block type -- boxy talk • teh rulz 22:06 16 July 2009 (BST) Can i get a clean up in aisle 4 that or your opinion on my a/vb-ed comment.--xoxo 14:03, 15 July 2009 (BST) Disk Space is Cheap! I'm back. Oh yeah, never gonna leave you alone, I'm back, oh yeah...--User:Axe27/Sig 00:19, 15 July 2009 (BST) You was so smart UDWiki:Administration/Deletions/Scheduling/Archive#Pornography --xoxo 11:10, 7 July 2009 (BST) Seriously Leave me alone and mind your own damn business. I'm not causing any problems, and your precious Grim who you put so much faith in to deal with my previous cases turned out to be the fascist bastard I always said he was. Leave me alone and you won't even know I'm here. Messenger 02:55, 5 July 2009 (BST) I think I've made myself clear with my last few edits; I'm willing to be a vandal if you're going to treat me as one. I'm not going anywhere. I've been banned for nearly three years; yet here I am. I've tried merely slipping under the radar, doing my own thing and not bothering anyone. Even months after any previous activity, I am hunted down as soon as any hint of my identity is uncovered. I can be a good girl; or I can be a stinking, rotten vandal, and muck up your time with A/VB cases day in and day out if I really must. It is your call. Can you live and let live, and let the last two and a half years serve as my punishment, or must we continue the song and dance of old? Don't prove yourself an arrogant fool. I have no bad faith, despite your arduous claims to the contrary, I'm only a vandal when you force me to be. So what is your say, Boxy? No Escape 07:32, 5 July 2009 (BST) REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anti-Bureaucracy This user hates bureaucracy and encourages wiki-revolution! DOWN WITH THE CRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --Imthatguy 18:25, 3 July 2009 (BST) New Scheduled Deletion Hey, I'd like to ask a bit of advice regarding the new scheduled deletion which I approved today. I've added it to the list of Scheduled's on the administration guidelines, do you also think we should strike the crit here? I added a note, but was concerned striking it would lead to users thinking it was invalidated as C12. Thoughts? DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 03:09, 30 June 2009 (BST) Just leave it as an SD criterion, although we perhaps need to discuss putting a list of scheduled deletions on the page as well, so that people can nominate them using the A/SD page if needed -- boxy talk • teh rulz 11:29 30 June 2009 (BST) You read my mind! Not sure though, cause scheduled deletions are generally deleted as they come, not many users look through the depths of specialpages for them, and if they do, they know what they are doing anyway. It would help, I guess. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 12:18, 30 June 2009 (BST) Well it needs to be made clear that posting lists on SD from the specialpages isn't helpful. They are got to when they're got to, but if a scheduled page is come across, or created by someone who wants it gone, they can request it on a/sd. But perhaps a discussion on talk SD to see what others views are -- boxy talk • teh rulz 12:48 30 June 2009 (BST) omg you guys are are sooooo like intune!!!elvn --xoxo 12:22, 30 June 2009 (BST) You'll need to fight to get your sweetheart back ;P -- boxy talk • teh rulz 12:48 30 June 2009 (BST) nah boxy you're all mine and i know it.--xoxo 13:15, 30 June 2009 (BST) haha jed ur like teh king of sayan shit deliberately wit bad grammer to make wat ur sayan really really sarcastic (with lots of exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(and some numbers)11 --Cyberbob 22:03, 30 June 2009 (BST) Me too :) --xoxo 22:34, 2 July 2009 (BST) Thanks for fixing up my typo on the Guidelines. I must have had a brain explosion because I hit the wrong Crit. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 12:18, 2 July 2009 (BST) Recategorisation I remember you had a spree of edits a while ago that was you recategorising certain images. Assuming you didn't finish, is it anything I can help with? DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 16:27, 26 June 2009 (BST) Oh, I work on Category:Page Elements every now and then. Trying to separate out all the sub-category images that should be in Ribbons, Icons, Emoticons, Group Images, Maps, Screenshots, etc. It's become a sort of a catchall category, full of stuff that should be elsewhere -- boxy talk • teh rulz 11:37 27 June 2009 (BST) I absolutely agree. The system fails because those extra categories aren't features on the Template:Image Categorisation, imo, thats where most users learn. I may fix it up later on. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 13:43, 27 June 2009 (BST) Scarletwood Junkyards 10-4, thanks for the heads-up. --Jaeger ayers 02:22, 25 June 2009 (BST) Erm Voting on that scheduled thing isn't over yet mang. --Cyberbob 13:34, 21 June 2009 (BST) Which, wat? Redirects after page moves are already sched'ed, otherwise I don't know what you're talking about -- boxy talk • teh rulz 13:37 21 June 2009 (BST) Oh, it was from a move? I didn't spot that, nevermind then --Cyberbob 13:39, 21 June 2009 (BST) idiot!!!!!--xoxo 16:10, 23 June 2009 (BST) Thanks Thanks for helping on my Beginners Guide. -Poodle of doom 01:15, 19 June 2009 (BST) EVIL IS GOOD This user or group believes that the bad guys can sometimes be the good guys. Zombies Ate My Neighbors This user or group is pretty sure that Zombies Ate their Neighbors. Quick Q What's the go with this? Did someone just get his evaluation bid and franekstein it to his original promotion bid? I wasn't around at the time so I'm seeking clarification before I consider giving it a move. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 15:47, 17 June 2009 (BST) I'm guessing they did... could have even been me (d'oh). Yeah, it should be split off onto it's own page -- boxy talk • teh rulz 13:56 21 June 2009 (BST) Silly Boxy!!! I fixed it up now. Also, I'm a little confused by this... Is there any reason why Nubzor bolded the I in two of the cases? Is there some symbolism because he self-banned himself in it (reading into this alot). DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 15:19, 21 June 2009 (BST) There's no I in team! :D -- boxy talk • teh rulz 15:05 22 June 2009 (BST) lmao, general was literally like 12 back then... little baby --Cyberbob 14:07, 21 June 2009 (BST) Warning For your misconduct case.

You know, that's real discrimination right there, at the favor of skin color and at the cost of disabled people. How do you reason?--Thadeous Oakley 22:44, 7 June 2009 (BST) Calling someone a retard is making a somewhat legitimate critique on their ability to perform the job they are applying for on A/PM. Shouting NIGGER is nothing but shitting up admin pages, and he probably wouldn't have got a warning this time if he hadn't already plenty of them before for similar things. He doesn't believe the person is black, or he wouldn't be shouting that at them -- boxy talk • teh rulz 23:31 7 June 2009 (BST) You can't honestly see the difference? Calling someone a retard is a figure of speech, calling someone retarded is a quip about them being mentally deficient. Nigger can't really have a context outside of that, being a nigger. And either way, J3D didn't call anyone nigger. He just spouted it out in bold on the promotions page, as input that could not possibly help the crats at all. That is essentially the part which constitutes vandalism.

It's a joke. -- Chekken 03:23, 11 August 2009 (BST) Only it's not very funny... creepy does seem to fit though -- boxy talk • teh rulz 03:27 11 August 2009 (BST) After having heard about the requests on IRC for naked photos I'll second the "creepy" motion. Cyberbob  Talk  03:32, 11 August 2009 (BST) Acutall Chekken, you were a lot more slanderous about it, and the way you went about it. That's why I said something originally to Bob on his talk page. -Poodle of doom 03:40, 11 August 2009 (BST) That doesn't mean that you can be slanderous to me on a different page. It's practically the same thing. I find it hard to believe that you would use hostile terms towards somebody who is new to your community. But you did. That is slander. -- Chekken 03:53, 11 August 2009 (BST) We don't need a reason to be slanderous ;p Seriously though. User pages and group pages shouldn't be edited in such a way, unless you're very sure that the people who own them would approve of what you're doing with them. I see no indication that Col. Bustass wants you making up shit about her, and the group she used to belong to, so keep your fantasies to your own group or user pages, please -- boxy talk • teh rulz 03:57 11 August 2009 (BST) Here we go again. More insults. "Fantasies"? Pardon me, but what in the blue hell are you talking about? I'm going to say it for the millionth time: it is satire. If it isn't funny, I'll take some suggestions and rewrite it. It is not a "fantasy", I am not TRYING to be creepy. It wasn't even finished yet; it was a work in progress. Now if somebody had BOTHERED to show me where the template for that is, I would have put it on my page and accepted criticism as humbly as I could. If it isn't funny, you comment on it on the discussion page, not send it immediately for deletion. --Chekken 04:04, 11 August 2009 (BST) Don't bother answering, Boxy. This one is well-versed in the art of self-convincing. Cyberbob  Talk  04:07, 11 August 2009 (BST) How do you figure I was being slanderous towards you Chekken? I'd like to see proof of that. WAIT!! I GOT A BETTER IDEA!!! Let's take your attitude towards me and the rest of the community to Arbitration if you really think I'm that dead set on brining you down. Shit! Maybe even boxy or bob here would like to volenteer as Arbitrator? -Poodle of doom 04:13, 11 August 2009 (BST) I have no attitude towards "the community" at all; how can I even have an opinion in the first place? I haven't MET the community yet. And if my welcome party will be a bunch of people insulting and excessively criticising my work, then maybe this is not where I should be spending my time. My problem is you GOING AROUND on MY PAGES...the pages I myself have written...and insulting me. If you have a problem with me, then you can be man enough to go on my talk page and send me a message explaining what is wrong. Yeah, you really expect me to go to Arbitration so that I can participate in (what I assume will be) a one-sided, biased session and be ganged up on? Well hell, if you want to so badly, I would love to be insulted further and embarrassed in front of the community. Oh, and your spelling is off. Might want to fix that. --Chekken 04:22, 11 August 2009 (BST) Sigh. Cyberbob  Talk  04:25, 11 August 2009 (BST) Shouldn’t put down a dyslexic fellow for having a few spelling issues. On that note,…. Bob, Boxy,… either or both of you care to join us? -Poodle of doom 04:29, 11 August 2009 (BST) I think Bob's trying to drop me a subtle cue to let it go.... right? -Poodle of doom 04:31, 11 August 2009 (BST) You know what? This is really stupid. I don't even understand what we're fighting about anymore. Delete the damn article if it's such a poke in the butthole for you guys. Just...can I have suggestions first before an article is deleted? I will observe the rules about group/individual wiki's in the future. And Boxy, I'm sorry. --Chekken 04:35, 11 August 2009 (BST) Can you re-upload an image? Image:Firulais.jpg was deleted last month for lack of use. However, it is still in use in the Dulston News Archive. I've asked the deleter, and learned that deletion cannot be undone. So, I'm asking you, as the original uploader of that image, to upload it again, if you still have it. -- Kittithaj 20:36, 30 July 2009 (BST) Done -- boxy talk • teh rulz 21:24 30 July 2009 (BST) Page move Hey can I get that Smooth Criminals page moved now please?

How about i just make A/MR redirect right here??--xoxo 09:36, 27 July 2009 (BST) Hey, hey chuckles. Don't sweat it. There's already been a request put on that page for this move, and I said I'd do it once the deletions request was served. We don't need to go through A/MR for moves anyway, it's just more convenient to do so for non-sysops -- boxy talk • teh rulz 09:43 27 July 2009 (BST) There is nothing in the guidelines to say a sysop can only move pages via A/MR. It is only deleting things and, I think, protecting things. --ϑϑℜ 09:55, 27 July 2009 (BST) And banning things ;) -- boxy talk • teh rulz 09:56 27 July 2009 (BST) yawn thanks for that charlie.--xoxo 13:25, 27 July 2009 (BST) If that's sarcasm, I won't be impressed... --ϑϑℜ 13:27, 27 July 2009 (BST) Sorry, it was :P come down one weekend and we'll hit it up a'ight? --xoxo 13:34, 27 July 2009 (BST) Welcomenewbie Template Hey Boxy. Wanted to ask: why is the {{subst:WN}} version of the Welcomenewbie template is protected, while the main one isn't?--User:Axe27/Sig 21:26, 23 July 2009 (BST) To prevent newbies from editing it by following header links like from this page. Here's the protection request -- boxy talk • teh rulz 22:31 23 July 2009 (BST) Ok, thanks. I had forgotten about that protection request. --User:Axe27/Sig 22:47, 23 July 2009 (BST) Yap You're right.

It didn't when I checked a few pages either...3 minutes after the edit and when the job queue was probably still chugging along...whoops... --  RoosterDragon  15:32, 16 July 2009 (BST) No worries. Putting that variable in there ended up calling a template in the name of the block, instead of the block type -- boxy talk • teh rulz 22:06 16 July 2009 (BST) Can i get a clean up in aisle 4 that or your opinion on my a/vb-ed comment.--xoxo 14:03, 15 July 2009 (BST) Disk Space is Cheap!

I'm not causing any problems, and your precious Grim who you put so much faith in to deal with my previous cases turned out to be the fascist bastard I always said he was. Leave me alone and you won't even know I'm here. Messenger 02:55, 5 July 2009 (BST) I think I've made myself clear with my last few edits; I'm willing to be a vandal if you're going to treat me as one. I'm not going anywhere. I've been banned for nearly three years; yet here I am. I've tried merely slipping under the radar, doing my own thing and not bothering anyone. Even months after any previous activity, I am hunted down as soon as any hint of my identity is uncovered. I can be a good girl; or I can be a stinking, rotten vandal, and muck up your time with A/VB cases day in and day out if I really must. It is your call. Can you live and let live, and let the last two and a half years serve as my punishment, or must we continue the song and dance of old? Don't prove yourself an arrogant fool. I have no bad faith, despite your arduous claims to the contrary, I'm only a vandal when you force me to be. So what is your say, Boxy? No Escape 07:32, 5 July 2009 (BST) REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anti-Bureaucracy This user hates bureaucracy and encourages wiki-revolution! DOWN WITH THE CRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --Imthatguy 18:25, 3 July 2009 (BST) New Scheduled Deletion Hey, I'd like to ask a bit of advice regarding the new scheduled deletion which I approved today. I've added it to the list of Scheduled's on the administration guidelines, do you also think we should strike the crit here? I added a note, but was concerned striking it would lead to users thinking it was invalidated as C12. Thoughts? DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 03:09, 30 June 2009 (BST) Just leave it as an SD criterion, although we perhaps need to discuss putting a list of scheduled deletions on the page as well, so that people can nominate them using the A/SD page if needed -- boxy talk • teh rulz 11:29 30 June 2009 (BST) You read my mind! Not sure though, cause scheduled deletions are generally deleted as they come, not many users look through the depths of specialpages for them, and if they do, they know what they are doing anyway. It would help, I guess. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 12:18, 30 June 2009 (BST) Well it needs to be made clear that posting lists on SD from the specialpages isn't helpful. They are got to when they're got to, but if a scheduled page is come across, or created by someone who wants it gone, they can request it on a/sd. But perhaps a discussion on talk SD to see what others views are -- boxy talk • teh rulz 12:48 30 June 2009 (BST) omg you guys are are sooooo like intune!!!elvn --xoxo 12:22, 30 June 2009 (BST) You'll need to fight to get your sweetheart back ;P -- boxy talk • teh rulz 12:48 30 June 2009 (BST) nah boxy you're all mine and i know it.--xoxo 13:15, 30 June 2009 (BST) haha jed ur like teh king of sayan shit deliberately wit bad grammer to make wat ur sayan really really sarcastic (with lots of exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(and some numbers)11 --Cyberbob 22:03, 30 June 2009 (BST) Me too :) --xoxo 22:34, 2 July 2009 (BST) Thanks for fixing up my typo on the Guidelines.

DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 12:18, 2 July 2009 (BST) Recategorisation I remember you had a spree of edits a while ago that was you recategorising certain images. Assuming you didn't finish, is it anything I can help with? DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 16:27, 26 June 2009 (BST) Oh, I work on Category:Page Elements every now and then. Trying to separate out all the sub-category images that should be in Ribbons, Icons, Emoticons, Group Images, Maps, Screenshots, etc. It's become a sort of a catchall category, full of stuff that should be elsewhere -- boxy talk • teh rulz 11:37 27 June 2009 (BST) I absolutely agree. The system fails because those extra categories aren't features on the Template:Image Categorisation, imo, thats where most users learn. I may fix it up later on.

You know, that's real discrimination right there, at the favor of skin color and at the cost of disabled people. How do you reason?--Thadeous Oakley 22:44, 7 June 2009 (BST) Calling someone a retard is making a somewhat legitimate critique on their ability to perform the job they are applying for on A/PM. Shouting NIGGER is nothing but shitting up admin pages, and he probably wouldn't have got a warning this time if he hadn't already plenty of them before for similar things. He doesn't believe the person is black, or he wouldn't be shouting that at them -- boxy talk • teh rulz 23:31 7 June 2009 (BST) You can't honestly see the difference? Calling someone a retard is a figure of speech, calling someone retarded is a quip about them being mentally deficient. Nigger can't really have a context outside of that, being a nigger. And either way, J3D didn't call anyone nigger. He just spouted it out in bold on the promotions page, as input that could not possibly help the crats at all. That is essentially the part which constitutes vandalism. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 01:14, 8 June 2009 (BST) Stuff I really should archive AH Historic Re-categorization May I ask why the old AH page now indicates that Axes High is inactive? I created that page to archive the activities of Axes High before the massive wiki history cleanup... Axes High is still very much active, and I would appreciate a reversion of the article to its prior state. Thanks, Hardcore Rockabilly, Retired FAE Axes High AH RR RRF The old AH page already specified that it was inactive. Boxy just got rid of the historical template and added the inactive one. Being a historic group means it is inactive anyway, and because he only made the change on Axes High (Historic), it never affected the new AH to start with. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 08:34, 28 May 2009 (BST) The historic groups category is for inactive groups who have been voted historic. I edited a lot of pages that weren't supposed to have that template on them. All of the others (hopefully) were inactive. Sorry about that, I've removed the template altogether -- boxy talk • teh rulz 08:34 28 May 2009 (BST) Hmm. I thought they were different groups. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 08:36, 28 May 2009 (BST) Ah, they could well be... but I've had enough of UD history for the moment ::) -- boxy talk • teh rulz 08:40 28 May 2009 (BST) There is no "new" AH, as it's been the same group with a constant (though occasionally small) membership since its creation. If you'd like, I can have Tenk pop on over and back this up... There's the current page and the historic one (having a 3.5 year-old group neccesitates preserving at least a minimum of historic info when a history wipe rolls around). I don't know why it was listed as "historic", as when I created the page it was a subpage of the AH page (Axes High/Historic). Hardcore Rockabilly, Retired FAE Axes High AH RR RRF That's where it should have stayed. All this time, I've read the historic one thinking it was a separate historical group and your Axes High was just a new-age clone under separate command. Either way is fine though. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 08:49, 28 May 2009 (BST) If it's their page then it wants to be moved into their group space properly, Axes High/Old for instance. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 08:53, 28 May 2009 (BST) The page logs don't list any page move from Axes High/Historic, but I've moved it there now -- boxy talk • teh rulz 09:00 28 May 2009 (BST) BBSC Ya I am the same person. I have 3 accts on ud, one of em is bonghit420... i had like 4 people in that group BBSC one was true blood... he is my brother in rl.. now he does not play ud n e more and the other two people that asked to join never showed up... so I have made a decision to end that group, plus its name was to stupid. and i am starting a new group called My School... it is going to be a group dedicated to fucking up schools. and anything else lol...

I think with some browser tweaking though, you can increase it up to 5000. Not sure yet. Never had to do it.--Mr. Angel, Help needed? 02:37, 18 May 2009 (BST) So it can, if a bit slowly. But can your "watchlist" remove the boring stuff, leaving only the important things behind? I think not!--  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 02:40, 18 May 2009 (BST) It's only slow because your internet/computer sucks.

It needed to go for many reasons. The replacement looks better and covers the nipples. I think it is fine.--– Nubis NWO 14:53, 28 March 2009 (UTC) The replacement was just as poorly made! But yeah, my nips are now hidden. --Lady Clitoria 14:56, 28 March 2009 (UTC) YOUR nipples eh? So that was you? DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 06:10, 29 March 2009 (BST) Category:Human Groups I wanna get rid of this category and move all pages manually to Category:Survivor Groups. If I list all the protected pages that need moving, would you be able to change them over for me? DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 23:15, 11 March 2009 (UTC) Nuerotoxic2213 My Name is Nuerotoxic2213, and i have noticed that someone has vandalized one of my images on the Ackland Mall Security Page. now someone has been going all over the air-waves in game slandering us , which is fine, but vandalism on the wiki is another story. since i am not "wiki" literate enough to figure this out, was wondering if you could help me. the image in question is here http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Image:Ams.jpg as far as i can tell it was Lady Clitoria who vandalized the image since before hand it was only Officer Otep back in 2006 who had touched the image. i tried to click on the (rev) thing next to the names and such but like i said, "wiki" illiterate. Nuerotoxic2213 20:05, 11 March 2009 (UTC) Talked to the user about it. Should be good, don't think its VB worthy, it was just a newbie mistake. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 23:15, 11 March 2009 (UTC) Nuerotoxic2213 --- those wiki revisions were from ZOLAM, (Lady C is my wiki account). You said it was okay to amend. This wasn't vandalism. Let me know which badge you want and I'll amend as you wish. Sorry about the confusion. I thought you would've realized when we put the new map up, as that was also by Lady C. ---- ZOLAM (--Lady Clitoria 06:52, 12 March 2009 (UTC)) Recruitment Ad Page Maintenance Sorry to bother you, but I think I ought to inform you that all youknowwhat may be about to break loose. I informed DK13 on their talk page that I had hidden their ad as their image is too large. They (rather politely) responded tell me that their ad was supposed to have been approved as is. I can only presume that they were referring to the guideline changes that many of us were discussing on the Recruitment Ad talk page and which now seem to have stalled. I hid the ad again this morning and explained my reason for doing so on their talk page. It is under the Recruitment Ad heading at the bottom of the page. I was polite, as well, but I sense that this could quickly become an issue.--Lois talk 10MFH 12:05, 9 March 2009 (UTC) Wanyao So, since he finally managed to let us know of his acceptance on the bid, what do you think we should do? I think we don't need to let it go on for more than 2-3 more days before we make a decision, plenty of time for him to make replies to comments and stuffs. Sound good to you? Or should we consider his acceptance as the actual start of the Com. rev. part of the bid, and give him two more weeks?--Suicidal Angel, Help needed? 01:47, 9 March 2009 (UTC) Tell me again why he should be granted an exception to the two week rule? The initial period ended before he posted. I smell yet another foregone conclusion... --Cyberbob 07:13, 9 March 2009 (UTC) You know you're more like iscariot then you realise.--xoxo 11:41, 9 March 2009 (UTC) hurf durf wikistalking --Cyberbob 13:03, 9 March 2009 (UTC) durf hurf watchlist?--xoxo 23:41, 9 March 2009 (UTC) I think, given how long it went before he accepted, that (at the very least) a note should be left on the main page to say that he has now accepted the nomination and opinion is still being asked. I think he deserves the promotion but not until he shows evidence that he is around enough to make promotion worthwhile... a number of others seem to feel similarly and the early vouchers may reconsider in light of a 2+ week absence, letting the whole thing run an extra week seems like a fairer alternative than just starting over.--Honestmistake 13:23, 9 March 2009 (UTC) I thought he made it pretty clear that he won't be active enough to justify promoting him. Any further "clarification" or "explanation" would just be backpedalling. --Cyberbob 13:26, 9 March 2009 (UTC) Well he says he will not be as active as he was... thing is though, he seemed to be active about 8 hours a day and that can't be healthy (or good for continued employment prospects) If I could be sure that his reduced activity would still see him checking in most days and dedicating a good few hours a week being constructive he would have my vouch now, as is though i would like a month or so to judge before he puts himself forwards.--Honestmistake 21:35, 9 March 2009 (UTC) Alrighty then, sorry I've been absent, I was in a play, and we just finished performing, and then tearing everything down yesterday. I'll take a look again and let you know later tonight, alright with you? Again, sorry for my absence. Crunch time and all, I'm sure you understand right?--Suicidal Angel, Help needed? 20:05, 24 March 2009 (UTC) Also, does my talk page look that bad? It surprisingly relaxes my eyes and doesn't hurt them like this blinding white background all over the wiki. :/ --Suicidal Angel, Help needed? 20:07, 24 March 2009 (UTC) WOOT's Bid I'm just going to go ahead and call it failed, as it's apparent the community doesn't think he needs the status.

Remember Grim? ;D DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 01:30, 26 May 2009 (BST) I'm all for Link's promotion. The major reason for against votes seems to be that he isn't keen to get involved in A/VB drama. I have no problem with promoting people who want to steer clear of A/VB unless it's cut and dried. I expect any sysop to deal with obvious vandalism, but don't mind if they keep out of the borderline cases unless they have strong views, and a good understanding of policy/precedence relevant to the case. Basically, I can't fault Links dedication to the smooth running of the wiki. Pure good faith editor, who has shown a willingness to work in areas that would benefit from the added sysop abilities -- boxy talk • teh rulz 14:48 2 March 2009 (BST) Alrighty then, I guess he's a sysops now, as that's about what I was thinking. I really do not want him jumping into VB if he can't make a decision, but I'm pretty sure he's smart enough to realize "LOL U SUCK" being spammed on a group page is vandalism. Would you like to do the honors, or shall I?--Suicidal Angel, Help needed? 00:00, 3 March 2009 (UTC) There's another one User:DangerReportTimekeeperBot. Could you demote it accordingly?

I contacted him by pm and he said that he'd like to keep his old user page as redirect to his new one. Question: Can I recreate the page as a redirect? --Janus talk 14:07, 28 February 2009 (UTC) *pokes* --Janus talk 17:32, 7 March 2009 (UTC) For some reason... Anywho, you may or may not know I run Project NecroWatch. I try to keep new guys from making mistakes, but every now and then it happens with scan images. One such mistake is the BuildingBuildingNecronet.png. As it's no longer linked to anything I figured it would get cleaned up eventually, but just today another person posting a scan mistakenly linked to it instead of their own scan image. I blame my semi-confusing template, which becomes an issue when users are switching from the "no current scan" static GIF to their new PNG. Anywho, if possible, would you please delete this image for me in order to avoid any further misunderstandings of this nature? I was going to post this request under speedy deletions... and while it has been a while... but those requests don't seem to include reasons for an image deletion. Let me know. --Mobius 17:26, 22 February 2009 (UTC) It can go through speedydeletions as a crit 1 if you can show where it is duplicated elsewhere on the wiki. It's too new for me to delete on sight though. Best to go through A/SD -- boxy talk • teh rulz 01:15 23 February 2009 (BST) Can we keep him Uncle Boxy? Plz? =( -- Cheese 19:19, 19 February 2009 (UTC) And can we have this one too? =( -- Cheese 10:36, 21 February 2009 (UTC) Sure. You have to take them for walkies, daily, though! :P Seriously though, Nubis' status has been confirmed, and I have posted on Karek's talk page, asking if he wants to remain a sysop. Unless Karek says that he wants a demotion, I agree that both should remain sysops -- boxy talk • teh rulz 14:05 21 February 2009 (BST) I agree. Karek's done a damn good job while he was a Sysop, no point in removing his powers until he's sure he wants to leave.--Suicidal Angel, Help needed? 13:55, 22 February 2009 (UTC) Thank you!

Is there a way to change it to look like all the others? --Pestolence(talk) 02:17, 16 February 2009 (UTC) It's a result of not specifying the category within the code. To categorise correctly one must not just add a [[Category:Whatever]], but must put the desired title within as so [[Category:Whatever|Jerrel Yokotory]] otherwise it defaults to the category title, or page title, I can't remember. Jerrel's promotion bid should not have been archived, if Nubis wishes to use precedent in regards to his own bid he must also abide by the precedent set by Xela's bid, but do you really think our sysop team will do that? -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 02:41, 16 February 2009 (UTC) It defaults to the full page title. Precedent shouldn't always be followed, though I do think it should've been one of the crats to archive it. --Midianian¦T¦DS¦SP¦ 10:31, 16 February 2009 (UTC) Should be fixed now -- boxy talk • teh rulz 12:40 16 February 2009 (BST) Thanks, Boxy.

All you need to do is just compare the contribs. They all match up. Its like he's talking to himself in places.

My bad, I guess I was thrown off by those comments that are apparently not that confusing. Sorry for wasting your time. Anywho, previous sarcasm aside, on the archive of that case, it links to the current Zink, which would mean he had made the account back then. The owner just hadn't made any edits to confirm it. So shouldn't your comment be saying something about banning an account that hasn't done anything yet instead? Maybe you should read up before you try to +1 me next time, eh? :) --BFFs +SA+NSANSANSANSANSANSANSANSANSAN 4 EVA!!! 00:16, 12 February 2009 (UTC) So it was, sorry about that. Cant have used the same IP, or had any zinker-like edits at the time. Anyway, next piece of vandalism will probably see him gone for good -- boxy talk • teh rulz 03:42 13 February 2009 (BST) Oh, its no problem boxy.

The guys over at the Dulston Alliance wanted me to ask what Dead Animal was up to in the Pilton Building. I told them to cool their trigger fingers because last I heard you weren't exactly a death cultist and that doesn't seem to be a policy stated anywhere on the Dead Animals wikipage, or Redux. Just your rivalry with the Friends of the Featherstone Library. Do you play dual nature, or were you combat revived and are now just hanging around a bit? Let me know, or not. Thanks. --Mobius 20:37, 8 February 2009 (UTC) He does tend to take it out on generators in NT buildings, but yeah, sticks to offing the FotFL guys mostly, these days. He does the dual nature thing, but only when supporting a rot revive point... there's a prime location for one on the Dulston/Rhodenbank boundary that he stumbled upon too, although I don't hold out much hope for the residents supporting such a facility -- boxy talk • teh rulz 14:37 9 February 2009 (BST) I would have to agree with you on that one. The concept of "Rot Revive Clinics" are about as foreign a concept to northeast locals as is the idea of real "mall tactics". That's why the Dulston Alliance doesn't see the mall as worth saving, not enough people know how to defend it to keep it. For now I'll let the Alliance know that you're not a death cultist, but if you get spotted/reported for GKing you'll still end up on the Black List. Just a friendly FYI. Oh, and if you want something to do as a survivor, restore Troubridge Cinema and/or St.Barbara's Church. I don't understand why the zombies keep messing with my "Night of the Living Dead" stuff. ;) --Mobius 19:51, 9 February 2009 (UTC) Well, one of the guys came along and sentenced me to death, indirectly, by repairing the ruin I was hiding in. Didn't take my zombie brothers long to find me after that. But it's alright, I have a purpose again, debarricading a NT, destroying it's genny, and calling the ferals in for a feed. Things are as they should be, again ;) -- boxy talk • teh rulz 11:09 10 February 2009 (BST) No such thing. You're just making it impossible for it to ever live period, the meta is always what defends the mall, the rest is just a distraction. --Karekmaps?! 01:35, 11 February 2009 (UTC) CE areyou sure the crat elections spose to start?

The last election finished on 4 December 2008, therefore the next on would be due on the 4th of March (barring resignation or crat inactivity). As you can see from this example, where the June crat election ended on the 22nd of June and was followed by one starting on the 23rd of September -- boxy talk • teh rulz 03:25 8 February 2009 (BST) okay i'm totally lost. You just said the 4th of march which is like 3 weeks away...--xoxo 03:56, 8 February 2009 (UTC) I don't think I can make it any clearer... yes, 3 or 4 weeks away -- boxy talk • teh rulz 04:08 8 February 2009 (BST) But a new ones started...unless you're saying it won't end until march the 4th? --xoxo 04:43, 8 February 2009 (UTC) Oh, that's what you're getting at. No. I meant that the one that cheese just started didn't need to be done until March 4 -- boxy talk • teh rulz 04:51 8 February 2009 (BST) Hey My bad on Promo, I thought you made a mistake. I didn't know that you purposely put BFF instead of Angel.--BFFs +SA+NSANSANSANSANSANSANSANSANSAN 4 EVA!!! 00:40, 6 February 2009 (UTC) honestmistake While grateful for your support in the promotion bid I feel I really should point out that I simply do not have the skills or patience to do many of the technical functions that a sysop normally does. This is not to say that I cannot and will not learn enough to help out, rather to point out that I currently have no clue as to how they work. If you were voting for me because you trust my judgement on issues like A/VB and Misconduct then thank you… if you think I can be trusted to maintain the wiki infrastructure then please change your vote to abstain because I am crap at editing stuff let alone fixing other folks mistakes.--Honestmistake 14:03, 3 February 2009 (UTC) lolwut? It's not really that hard...--xoxo 23:59, 3 February 2009 (UTC) Just withdraw the bid if you doubt your ability to do the job -- boxy talk • teh rulz 02:18 4 February 2009 (BST) I think it's more a bizarre form of sucking up, but i must say i'm rather confused as to the motive...maybe trying to get get a/vb-ed ala woot? --xoxo 06:57, 4 February 2009 (UTC) Its more a case of making sure that no one is under any illusions as to my technical know how. Boxy is probably already aware as he has fixed a few of my errors over the years but as I sent this to all who "Vouched" for me I thought it best to be consistent and include Boxy too. As for "sucking up"... that would make sense only if I really wanted the promotion and would probably be better done by targetting those who abstained. I am more than willing to accept promotion and be useful if people think I can be (hell i might even enjoy it?) but not getting it really will not send me into a spiral of bitterness like it did Bob. --Honestmistake 13:52, 4 February 2009 (UTC) Okay fair enough. I just think technical know-how isn't really a criterion for sysopship. As long as you can delete a page and follow some red tape in the process, it's just the same as being a normal user. Oh, aside from being able to place little apostrophes around your decisions on a/m and a/vb cases. --xoxo 00:05, 5 February 2009 (UTC) Probably should be but only for users who want to edit protected templates, which most don't. --Karekmaps?! 02:50, 6 February 2009 (UTC) plz to be strikan my vandal escalation? --Cyberbob 02:00, 2 February 2009 (UTC) Good enough for you?--Suicidal Angel - Help needed? 02:17, 2 February 2009 (UTC) Aren't physical threats bannable on this wiki? I can't find the policy which covers it, though. I bring this up in regards to this this. Darkmagic (it's him, right?) made two such comments... To be honest, I'm a little miffed that hagnat took the liberty of letting him off the hook. He ought not to have done so, imo, b/c I thought we were zero tolerance on that kind of shit. Especially since he did it twice and there's no way it could be taken as "sarcastic".... Are our hands tied now, then?

I'm not entirely sure about this one. =p -- Cheese 18:25, 28 January 2009 (UTC) I think it's pretty clear that the community is happy to have him as a sysop, and rightly so, seeing as the only major problems he's caused are far in the past. BTW, please don't archive the bid straight away. Make your ruling, and leave it for a few days so that it's easy for people to find out what happened rather than having to navigate through the archives (not knowing which category it may have went in) -- boxy talk • teh rulz 00:13 29 January 2009 (BST) Entirely Angry I still don't agree, but meh. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 10:39, 27 January 2009 (UTC) I remember when Pescodcide/Dullstown used to be constantly green, and we'd regularly break into buildings, killing survivors here and there.

Sorry, I don't know wiki well, and I couldn't find an email or anything to request the undeletion of an old - and rather historical - police station from M-ville. A link to the deletion request in question. - Umm, I'm not sure, sorry.  :-/ A reason for undeletion. This should be short and to the point. - I'm assuming because it hadn't been updated in quite some time... A signed datestamp. It was: http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Brewer_Street_Police_Dept < Brewer Street PD was one of two main operation bases for the humans/survivors working with the M-ville PD - Monroeville Police Department - which was, if not the, among the most powerful and organized survivor groups back then. It would be greatly appreciated if it could be undeleted for historical references. Hopefully I'm talking to the right guy, like I said I don't know wiki well, so if you could forward it on to the right place if this isn't the right place to request, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I know {{REVISIONMONTH}} exists, but it displays the month in numeric form. This would work, but having both a date and month expressed numerically can be confusing, as their positions are interchangeable in common usage. Anyway, I tried to create a template {{REVISIONMONTHNAME}} by using code from wikipedia and {{REVISIONMONTH}}. This has failed and I can't figure out how to get it to work. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated. --Zarneverfike 07:44, 6 January 2009 (UTC) What do you need it for? The revision date is at the bottom of pages for me, already. For example, "This page has been accessed 15,589 times. This page was last modified 07:44, January 6, 2009" is at the bottom of this page -- boxy talk • teh rulz 10:26 6 January 2009 (BST) I wanted to use it in another template: {{Mobile Phone Mast Coverage}}, based on the Monroeville and Borehamwood population templates. I wanted to include a last revised date on the template, so it would be convenient to see how current the network coverage number was. Using the revision templates would make updating the mobile coverage template slightly easier, as only the % number would have to be updated. Like I said, {{REVISIONMONTH}} would suffice, but I think having the month in named form is potentially less confusing, and also, in my opinion, looks better. I tried playing around with the {{REVISIONMONTHNAME}} template a bit, but its above my wiki editing skill level. Oh, and yes, if templates created for this little project fail / aren't used a speedy deletion will be their ultimate fate. --Zarneverfike 22:17, 6 January 2009 (UTC) I'd guess that the problem is that we don't have parser functions installed in this wiki (I think). Pity really, because I could use it in one of my projects -- boxy talk • teh rulz 10:03 7 January 2009 (BST) I think I may actually have gotten it to work. Turns out {{switch}} was used prior to parser functions on wikipedia, and was a valid template here. Anyway, I'm almost certain {{REVISIONMONTHNAME}} works properly now (though I guess I won't know for certain until February.) Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Also, I'll submit the two unused templates created in the process: {{MONTHNAME}} and {{MONTHNUMBER}} to A/SD. Thank you again for your help. --Zarneverfike 11:01, 7 January 2009 (UTC) Edit: Given further thought, {{REVISIONMONTHNAME}} is useless, as it would only display when it was last revised. Its code is now directly included in the mobile coverage template I was working on. {{REVISIONMONTHNAME}} will join its cousins in the speedy deletion queue. Thanks anyway for the help though. --Zarneverfike 11:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC) You might also want to put that failed template up for A/SD by the way. Unless you can change it over to something useful or that works.--– Nubis NWO 11:32, 6 January 2009 (UTC) I made something to this effect in ProjDev. Just haven't quite bothered finishing it yet. Depending on how soon it's needed and how major a part of the project it is I could always fast track it for you.--Karekmaps?! 06:46, 9 January 2009 (UTC) Well, it ended up working, but not as I intended. All the revision templates called the final page they were included on, and not the phone mast template. It would be slightly preferable if I could figure out how to make them work how I want them. In the mean time, I've resorted to tildes (which work fine, but are an extra step for anyone updating the template, and produce a more precise, but less aesthetically pleasing result.) --Zarneverfike 13:58, 10 January 2009 (UTC) Questionf Are you a girl?--Thari TжFedCom is BFI! 06:53, 6 January 2009 (UTC) No. If I was I wouldn't be interested either :p -- boxy talk • teh rulz 07:00 6 January 2009 (BST) Are you sure?--Thari TжFedCom is BFI! 07:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC) Hmmm, I guess that depends... are you a girl? -- boxy talk • teh rulz 10:29 6 January 2009 (BST) Silly boxy.

I was wondering, can we do redirects for categories (for this problem)? For example, redirect 'Category:Police Dept' to 'Category:Police Department? --Janus talk 21:01, 5 January 2009 (UTC) No, redirects don't put the pages into the other category -- boxy talk • teh rulz 07:01 6 January 2009 (BST) I see. What was the problem with the old system? --Janus talk 14:16, 6 January 2009 (UTC) The DRAMA! Wow, I've only been gone since November and it seems in that time span the whole place has gone to hell!

I was going through your contributions to see what was going on when you broke the STARS redirects, and noticed that a lot of your talk page contributions weren't signed. It makes it very hard to work out who said what unless you sign (and timestamp) your talk page posts -- boxy talk • teh rulz 00:23 5 January 2009 (BST) administration question Hi, I was browsing around this wiki's administration policy and I was a little confused with this guideline, the one that states a user may be warned or banned 'When acting in accordance with approved policies.' What does this mean? Isn't doing this good? Liberty 08:10, 3 January 2009 (UTC) Boxy will no doubt move this around to the right part of his page, please try and follow people's conventions on their own pages. The user in the guideline you quote is the sysop doing the warning. The sysop may warn when acting in accordance with approved policies. It's the future proof clause, it allows a sysop to warn a user even though a policy wasn't approved when the guidelines went through, it elimates the loophole of "You can't warn me because the guidelines don't mention or apply to that policy because it wasn't invented". -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 08:30, 3 January 2009 (UTC) What Iscariot said, basically. You've got to read it in the context of the whole paragraph. "System operators may only warn/ban a user when... [snip]... acting in accordance with approved policies." -- boxy talk • teh rulz 10:48 3 January 2009 (BST) Did you log your edit of that protected policy page on any admin page for oversight? -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 11:05, 3 January 2009 (UTC) No, but thanks for watching my back. Does this mean we're friends now, and I can use your talk page too ;) -- boxy talk • teh rulz 12:13 3 January 2009 (BST) So let me get this right, you decided to alter a policy voted in by the community and not note this edit anywhere so that the community or another sysop could exercise oversight or voice some sort of concern? Yes, of course you may post on my talk page, provided you have edited this page in the same way as Gnome and every other unfit sysop. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 12:18, 3 January 2009 (UTC) If it was an edit that changed the meaning of the policy in any way whatsoever I would bother, but seeing it was a simple grammar edit (taking out a couple of superfluous "when"s), it's a totally good faith edit -- boxy talk • teh rulz 12:26 3 January 2009 (BST) As is proven by this user's question, it does change the meaning of the policy, because the policy said something completely different. I don't care if you believed (which I doubt) that your edit was good faith, the fact is you edited a protected page without logging the change. You broke the guidelines, that same as Cheese was misconducted for. Going to go to A/M and write up your own case for review? Didn't think so, there's your "good faith". -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 12:32, 3 January 2009 (UTC) Making a policy easier to understand by removing the excess padding around the important bits is not bad faith. In fact, most of the policies we have are very long-winded and could probably be summarised in about 4 or 5 bullet points. -- Cheese 12:42, 3 January 2009 (UTC) As was proven by the original user, it was a complete change of the written meaning of the policy. If you could even comprehend the precedence this sets.... -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 12:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC) Oh noes!1!!!1!!!1!!eleventyone!!1!!0!"2B!!1 =( I r 2 st00p1d 2 reed Engl15h?

He's just a troll, stop the feeding.--Karekmaps?! 17:44, 3 January 2009 (UTC) Is the amusement he creates as a troll greater than the frustration he generates as one? I lean toward No, but some of you have more tolerance than I do. Is he really a troll we should seriously look into? I already have my answer (and case) ready, but I thought I would get a feel for the general opinion.--– Nubis NWO 06:04, 4 January 2009 (UTC) No, I am not a troll, it was a serious question, and sorry Boxy for putting my question at the bottom of the talk page. I read the template at the top and thought it implied I should press the '+'. Sorry. And thanks. Liberty 00:29, 5 January 2009 (UTC) I doubt they're talking about you, Liberty, but rather Iscariot -- boxy talk • teh rulz 00:31 5 January 2009 (BST) And thats the second paragraph I've totally read wrong infront of you guys. You must all think I'm blind. Pardon me Liberty 12:39, 5 January 2009 (UTC) Sexylegsread's banning I hate to say it, but you're probably going to A/M for that one.

Vandalism is defined as a bad-faith edit and this wasn't one.--The General T Sys U! P! F! 21:30, 1 January 2009 (UTC) He made plenty of bad faith edits to increase the effectiveness of the impersonation's "lulz", General. On the vandal's talk page, on A/VB, and on A/M. It was a joint effort, in the planning, and the implementation... and that's only if you buy the story he tells -- boxy talk • teh rulz 01:58 2 January 2009 (BST) Yes it was, this was meatpuppetry. It was him trying to get around the rules by telling someone who he knew and wouldn't be punished to make a throw away account and do it in his stead. Sockpuppetry is vandalism, this is the same thing with an extra layer of insulation.--Karekmaps?! 21:45, 1 January 2009 (UTC) A friend suggested it, not him. While it was very bad form to say "it will be lulz", I can't see that as vandalism. I feel we're getting a dangerously close to a vendetta here.--The General T Sys U! P!

If you use Fire Fox 2 do you think you could look at this revision and tell me if Engel's character box is in the middle of the page, and not after a giant stretch of space? Last time I looked at my page, it was FF2, and it looked fine. I get FF3, and all of a sudden, the character box was pushed waaaaayyy down my page, for no reason. I made some changes to fix the way it looks here, but I'm just curious now.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 01:48, 31 December 2008 (UTC) Try <br clear="both" />--Karekmaps?! 12:06, 31 December 2008 (UTC) I'm using FF3, and it's the same. Changing the table width to 65% (instead of 95%) fixed it for me. It's because your character table is too wide for what remains of the page when you take into account the sidebar with the templates on it, I think -- boxy talk • teh rulz 14:56 31 December 2008 (BST) I know, but in FF2, which I used up until 2 days ago, I never had to change it, and it always looked fine. That's why I was wondering if it was an FF 3 thing, and I didn't want to have to down grade, check, and then upgrade again and find all my bookmarks and neat tid bits again.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 15:01, 31 December 2008 (UTC) Weird eh? Dunno, can't help -- boxy talk • teh rulz 15:03 31 December 2008 (BST) Firefox 3 probably has stricter standards support then Firefox 2 so it is possible that it would cause problems on some pages.--The General T Sys U! P! F! 18:03, 1 January 2009 (UTC) I figured as much when I first saw it, I just was wondering if anyone had FF 2 could tell me if that revision looked okay. I'm not looking so much for a fix (Karek), or an explanation as to why (Monsieur Box), but more just a quick check up should anyone use FF2 still. But thank you all anyway. I am grateful. :) -- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 19:27, 1 January 2009 (UTC) Hilariously enough it works in IE7.--Karekmaps?! 19:30, 1 January 2009 (UTC) It works in IE7, but not FF3? Damn you Mozilla!-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 19:47, 1 January 2009 (UTC) And actually Style="clear: right;" would probably fix the problem.--Karekmaps?! 19:35, 1 January 2009 (UTC) Don't worry about it, no one uses Firefox 2 anymore. In fact, you were the last person to switch to Firefox 3. ;) --ZsL 19:42, 1 January 2009 (UTC) I probably was, I waited to get 3 until the Red Shift theme was released for it. :D -- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 19:49, 1 January 2009 (UTC) You know you can disable the theme/add-on filters right?--Karekmaps?! 21:47, 1 January 2009 (UTC) Firefox 2 is teh awesome. Firefox 3 is teh suxxor. (i refused to move to ff3) --People's Commissar Hagnat talk mod 00:34, 5 January 2009 (UTC) Thanks for that Yeah, I added a note on the category page, and six months is a long time. Thanks for the heads up, though. Linkthewindow  Talk  08:09, 30 December 2008 (UTC) Umbrella I disagree with you regarding redirecting the word Umbrella. There is a solid difference between Umbrella Corporation and Umbrella Biohazard Containment Service. There was never a need for this from either groups. --Thadeous Oakley 13:17, 29 December 2008 (UTC) There may be, but two groups in the city have "Umbrella" in their name, and in the interest of imparality, one should not be favored by using a redirect. Linkthewindow  Talk  13:22, 29 December 2008 (UTC) There is the issue that the Umbrella Corporation was around far longer then the UBCS, they should have considered another name back then.--Thadeous Oakley 13:25, 29 December 2008 (UTC) The page is now protected in the form of the disputed edit (i.e Boxy's). Take it to arbitration and don't start edit wars over something as simple as a redirect. Thank you. -- Cheese 13:35, 29 December 2008 (UTC) If there is a edit war then it should be sorted out with arbitration, in the meantime the page stays in the original form until the ruling. Misusing sysops powers is not what you do. Unprotect the page return to the original form and then take this to arbitration.--Thadeous Oakley 13:37, 29 December 2008 (UTC) Actually, it's not misuse. Quoting the Guidelines "In the event of protection, a system operator is expected to protect the page in whatever state the page was in at the time the request is reviewed, regardless of its original state."-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 15:34, 29 December 2008 (UTC) That's not point. If I were to "edit" a page because I disagree with the content I would be told to go to arbitration. I go there, and during the arb case which version of that page would be kept up? The original one or the one with my vandalizing edits? Good answer: the original one. I have experienced myself that this goes this way. Now I am asking for the same treatment of this redirect page, is that odd?--Thadeous Oakley 16:10, 29 December 2008 (UTC) Its only one way because of precedent. It could just as easily be the other, any time a sysops wanted to do it another. You also have to remember the whole "Personal Judgment" clause.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 16:13, 29 December 2008 (UTC) The arbitration reversion clause only applies if you have an active and open arbitration case. You don't. You haven't started one. The page in question is protected due to an edit war, therefore the prevailing precedence is the Protections Guidelines that state the page will be protected in its current state when the protections request is reviewed. There is no abuse of sysop powers here. Go start an arbitration case disputing Boxy's edit, until that case resolves you can have the page reverted. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 16:27, 29 December 2008 (UTC) Alright, so according to Suicidalangel it depends on the personal choice of the sysops and according to Iscariot it depends whether the page falls under the protection or arbitration precedence? Uhm okay, since Iscariot's tale seems more logical I will go along with that. I am gonna wait for Boxy's response for now.--Thadeous Oakley 17:31, 29 December 2008 (UTC) And of course, you interpret it wrong. It depends on BOTH. If a sysop feels it's in the communities best interest to do something differently than the guidelines or precedent state, then he can. If he doesn't, he follows the well established precedents and guidelines.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 18:29, 29 December 2008 (UTC) The reason that I decided to make a disambiguation page is that there is at least one person out there who is using the similarity of the names to cause confusion as to whose forum is being linked to. And the similarity of the logos and page looks are also confusing. It needs to be clear that the groups can easily be confused. If I have it right, one of these groups split off from the original to form a splinter group? -- boxy talk • teh rulz 23:29 29 December 2008 (BST) Close. They had an arby case a few months ago over this. It's quite stupid and it's all here if you want to read it over. Basically Haliman took up an open offer from Airheadoh to take over UBCS. Haliman and Umbrella had a big falling out in the past over something and they (Umbrella) didn't like this. So they pretty much made it difficult as hell for him to take over (and he was making it difficult for them to stop him taking over). At the end of the case we had two UBCS groups and this is just the aftershocks of that since the 6 week no speaky condition ran out a few weeks ago. -- Cheese 00:07, 30 December 2008 (UTC) Sheesh. So... was Umbrella Corporation originally the "mother group" to UBSC (and other umbrella sub-groups), and since Haliman took over, USBC split off altogether and now they've become enemies? -- boxy talk • teh rulz 00:14 30 December 2008 (BST) Pretty much yeah. -- Cheese 00:18, 30 December 2008 (UTC) I can make this allot more complicated: Again, the original Umbrella is the Umbrella Corporation. It's not my fault he (haliman) chose to create a similar like group. Secondly, there isn't just an Umbrella and a UBCS. You have the Umbrella Corporation and there are the different UBCS's. You have the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service, the U.B.C.S._Merc-for-hire and finally the youngest and haliman's one, the Umbrella Biohazard Containment Service. That's three group's alone who all use the UBCS acronym and begin with "Umbrella". We never had any issues with them about the "Umbrella Redirect" page not even with haliman's one (though I am sure he wants to keep it now). Why wont we add them all to the disambig page while were busy. Oh and disambig of the word "UBCS" needs to be enlarged aswell. Oh, and do outdated and inactive groups count to? Cuz then we need to drag this one in too: Umbrella Special Operations Unit. Nothing bad intended or anything Boxy, but your opening Pandora's Box. On a another note, you should know that in the Resident evil/biohazard universe Umbrella is the big evil pharmaceutical corporation and the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service is Umbrella's own PMC. When using the word Umbrella one usually means the first while for the latter almost always the acronym UBCS is used. Hope this clears things up, probably not though. --Thadeous Oakley 00:56, 30 December 2008 (UTC) OK, thanks. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been ignoring this whole multiple Umbrella orginisations confusion thing for a while now because it was all just too much hard work to figure out. The latest spate of vandalism has meant that something needs to be done to sort this out, and make it clear what pages belong to what organisation, and I feel that a disambiguation page is the best way to do this, and yes, I was going to expand on what I had put there, listing all your sub groups under your heading, but it's been locked now. What do you think about making the Umbrella page more than in addition to being a disambiguation page? Somewhere that explains the relevant Resident Evil history, as well as the history of the Umbrella/UBCS groups in Urban Dead -- boxy talk • teh rulz 01:06 30 December 2008 (BST) Well I have gone ahead and expanded the disambig of UBCS. Uhm, you can't just unlock "Umbrella" and add the rest then in the meantime? I am pretty sure you are a system operator. Or do we need to go through some sort of "unlocking process" first? As for your plan of expanding "Umbrella" in a page that explains the different presences of Umbrella and its relations in Malton, well that's a very nice idea :). However, with all the hostility ;{ its probably hard to make it NPOV in a way everyone can agree with.--Thadeous Oakley 12:46, 30 December 2008 (UTC) You can request edits at A/PT. Linkthewindow  Talk  12:49, 30 December 2008 (UTC) I could edit the page, but it would be against the rules. I've got to go through A/PT like everyone else. I suggest you pick someone impartial to you both, agree to let them decide what goes on the page, and then open up a discussion in neutral territory, like arbitration -- boxy talk • teh rulz 12:51 30 December 2008 (BST) I am pretty sure I have dispute with you over that page, Boxy. Look, either we revert the page to its original state or we add all the other groups I named aswell. Atleast, that's what needs to...arh. --Thadeous Oakley 12:58, 30 December 2008 (UTC) I don't care who you pick, just someone that has no vested interest. I might even put my 2c in as well, because the confusion makes the sysops job harder. It needs to be extremely clear who owns what page, so that the vandalism that has been going on lately can be easily spotted and evaluated -- boxy talk • teh rulz 13:03 30 December 2008 (BST) Your losing me. I dont wanna look stupid on you but this is confusing .There's only one person which I have a dispute with about the "word" Umbrella and that's you. If your meaning this guy here:User:Haliman111 , well he is not involved atleast not with this. If I go A/PT and request that the other groups are added to the disambig of "Umbrella", will that be okay?--Thadeous Oakley 13:11, 30 December 2008 (UTC) Sure. If you agree not to revert it to a redirect, I'll ask for it to be unprotected, and it can be expanded upon -- boxy talk • teh rulz 00:59 31 December 2008 (BST) I agree not to revert it back to a redirect and I am for expanding the current disambig.--Thadeous Oakley 11:45, 31 December 2008 (UTC) Can I have a private chat about the vandalism, Boxy? I have a few questions... They can be on my forum, or anywhere private, just not here with all of the.... Eyes. Forums: http://z10.invisionfree.com/Umbrella_UBCS/index.php?act=idx --Haliman - Talk 20:21, 1 January 2009 (UTC) Oh the secrecy, lol...That would be a NPOV chat, right?--Thadeous Oakley 23:12, 1 January 2009 (UTC) You can email me by using the link attached to this page if you must -- boxy talk • teh rulz 02:03 2 January 2009 (BST) UBCS Merc-for-hire Hi, Boxy. Look, I'm in charge of the UBCS Merc-for-hire, and I noticed you changed the page name to Umbrella Corporation/U.B.C.S. Merc-for-hire... This is inacurate. We are contracted by Umbrella corporation, and I am a full-time member of their group, but the UBCS Merc-for-hire is a sovereign entity, predating the Corporation by about a year in UD alone. Though I appreciate the link to our page in the UBCS redirect page, could you please undo all the changes you've made to my group's page. Thank you, Leon Cane 14:38, 30 December 2008 (UTC) You're giving mixed messages here... you say you're a full time member of the corporation, the group is "contracted" by the corporation, yet somehow you're saying it isn't a sub-group? That would seem to be the definition of what a sub-group is -- boxy talk • teh rulz 00:58 31 December 2008 (BST) Well... We're not. I, personally, am I member of Umbrella, which does not reflect my group, who are not. My group is, however, under contract to Umbrella because we are mercenaries, and they have the highest bid. If you'd take a look at our "Who We Are" section, there's a good bit of information that suggests that we are not, in fact, a sub-group. At any point, I can simply terminate our contract and my team moves on; we in no way are dependent on Umbrella, nor they to us. We belong to no-one. But listen, what it comes down to is this: It is my group. You have posted fallacious information on its page, and I request that your remove it. Thank you, Leon Cane 02:08, 31 December 2008 (UTC) Is this one of those alt abuse things, where you're in the parent group, and also in the daughter group with another alt, trying to make out they're separate entities? Regardless, your roleplay explanation doesn't convince me. You could try to convince another sysop on A/MR, I guess -- boxy talk • teh rulz 15:25 31 December 2008 (BST) Now you're just being petty. WV is a member of DORIS and the Philosophe Knights, are you saying he's alt abusing? Or that the Knights are a sub group of DORIS, or vice versa? You going to refuse to move the PK back into their own namespace if someone pushes through a move to associate them under DORIS? -- Iscariot 17:28, 31 December 2008 (UTC) No. I was genuinely asking a question, Iscariot. I wasn't sure if he was talking about two characters, one in UBSCmercs and one in UCorp. The whole set up sounds like the DEM or Extinction, and I see their having alts in multiple, closely allied groups as alt abusing. (BTW, I put your sig in for you, hope you don't mind) -- boxy talk • teh rulz 01:22 1 January 2009 (BST) No. The UBCS is not a subgroup. They are our closest allies. The fact that Leon Cane works at both groups is a cause of our good relationship not the reason. There is no zerging, there is only one Leon Cane out there, and he has UBCS Mercs in his grouptag and yes he is active on both group forums. Now unless that is forbidden by wiki regulations I really don't see a reason why UBCS Mercs must be categorized as subgroup against there own will.--Thadeous Oakley 12:01, 1 January 2009 (UTC) OK, I moved it back. It's all seems a bit incestuous though :p -- boxy talk • teh rulz 12:47 1 January 2009 (BST) We are a very complicated group, both in structure and relationship :P.--Thadeous Oakley 13:26, 1 January 2009 (UTC) Page Aren't there any rules for things like these?--Thadeous Oakley 11:50, 29 December 2008 (UTC) Yes, and they include taking it to arbitration so that you can present evidence before changing another groups sub-pages -- boxy talk • teh rulz 11:53 29 December 2008 (BST) IRC If you can please get on, I think we needs to talk about something sooner rather than later.--Karekmaps?! 08:52, 28 December 2008 (UTC) I don't use IRC much at all. Want to email me (the email via the wiki is activated) the one we're using these days (last one I know of was the nexuswar one) -- boxy talk • teh rulz 09:00 28 December 2008 (BST) Sent, I really dislike the way emails are handled though. And it's still the nexuswar one that grim set up a while ago.--Karekmaps?! 09:12, 28 December 2008 (UTC) Next time either of you are on could you ask Revenant to unban me? --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 09:32, 28 December 2008 (UTC) hahahaha.--xoxo 01:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC) Laugh it up faggot, IRC is small potatoes next to the shitstorm you've brought upon yourself. Enjoy your impending demotion. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 02:13, 31 December 2008 (UTC) The wiki is srs business hey bawb ^.^--CyberRead240 04:38, 4 January 2009 (UTC) ouch.--xoxo 04:45, 4 January 2009 (UTC) Move request redirects Don't think they're scheduled but by their very nature they should really be deleted once all old links are cleared, unless of course there are trillions of them. I'm too lazy to actually check scheduleds so i could be wrong. Just wondering what the generally accepted approach is?--xoxo 12:05, 25 December 2008 (UTC) If you move a page, you can (scheduled) delete the redirect that gets automatically created in it's place, as long as there are no links to the redirect page (other than from admin pages like A/MR and A/SD) -- boxy talk • teh rulz 13:36 25 December 2008 (BST) If someone else moves and decides (slash is too lazy ) to move it and i wander in and want it gone?--xoxo 13:37, 25 December 2008 (UTC) Use your judgment. If it seems obvious that there could be no legitimate reason to leave the redirect... fix the links and bin it. Don't just do it as a matter of course -- boxy talk • teh rulz 16:29 25 December 2008 (BST) Policy Since we're already in the middle of one case over edit wars, it might be easier to resolve this here. You'll notice, if you actually read the top of the talk page, that The General makes note of the policy being under discussion under the same title and being archive by mistake. This is why it was entered for voting early. Now, one of you is breaching policy, either him for entering the policy early and attempting to subvert the voting process, or you for removing valid votes on a policy under voting. Which is it? -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 04:52, 24 December 2008 (UTC) If the policy was actually as good as it should be, I'd probably say that putting it straight to a vote was within the spirit of the policy, but given the fact that there's at least one very confusing grammatical problem with it, meh, "a coupla days...'" -- boxy talk • teh rulz 05:00 24 December 2008 (BST) Is meh your official response as a sysop? The policy concerning suggesting and entering policies for voting is clear, it has the qualifier should. The General's explanation on the talk page is one that I'd view as sufficient for this qualifier to take effect. In which case you have incorrectly removed votes from a policy under voting, therefore I'd like a more definitive answer than meh. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 05:20, 24 December 2008 (UTC) If he wants to take me to A/VB, he can, and I'll even put my hands up and take a warning for it, for messing with his policy. But I feel that it was an edit in good faith to improve his policy, and it's chances. Go annoy him about reporting me if you want. I don't mind -- boxy talk • teh rulz 05:25 24 December 2008 (BST) individual page creation? Ok, I was editing that one :P.--Lithedarkangel 23:40, 22 December 2008 (UTC) Heh, sorry. Don't you just hate that! I've made a post on the locations nuts page about it anyway -- boxy talk • teh rulz 23:41 22 December 2008 (BST) So far, Hollomstown and Shearbank are free of merged pages.--Lithedarkangel 23:45, 22 December 2008 (UTC) Mall Status You've updated Treweeke Mall's status.

After Iscariot reponds to my question, I'm permitting you a brief rebuttal to the question. There may or may not be a few more questions... Thanks. --WanYao 19:32, 23 December 2008 (UTC) Waiting on Iscariot's concluding statement to the Arby, followed by yours. Thank you. --WanYao 07:21, 26 December 2008 (UTC) Is this step even really necessary? I'd think you'd have enough information to at the very least be inclined to rule one way or the other at this point. There's a A/PT request waiting on the outcome.--Karekmaps?! 07:23, 26 December 2008 (UTC) Our lovely discussion has been archived... Moved from Nubis's page Is there more to this discussion? It shouldn't be lost to the archive. quite frankly i'd be glad if you thought nick and jed were the same account. I mean it's so apparent we aren't. If you suspected us i'd be all like "lol what a douche he thinks we're the same person" coz like, who the fuck could be bothered acting like different people for 2 yearss??? that shits stupid....xoxo 05:07, 17 December 2008 (UTC) 03:46, December 17, 2008 J3D got IPs for Nallan on ud_wiki 03:45, December 17, 2008 J3D got IPs for J3D on ud_wiki 03:45, December 17, 2008 J3D got IPs for Boxy on ud_wiki 07:01, November 23, 2008 J3D got IPs for J3D on ud_wiki (added) Interesting. Did boxy give you permission to check his IP? Was he vandalizing or suspected of account sharing/sock puppets? Why would you need to get IP information on yourself and Nallan? --– Nubis NWO 23:08, 17 December 2008 (UTC) Just a sneaking suspicion i had about those 3...--xoxo 23:19, 17 December 2008 (UTC) Trying to find out where I live again, eh J3D? I hope you're not planning on sharing the big info with your buds -- boxy talk • teh rulz 00:44 18 December 2008 (BST) I wish i was that internet capable...--xoxo 04:20, 18 December 2008 (UTC) If you already checked his you'd know that they probably already checked it themselves with his sysop privileges.--Karekmaps?! 10:03, 18 December 2008 (UTC) Proof plz. I'm the only person who knows the password to this account.--xoxo 00:55, 19 December 2008 (UTC) Check User from the 14th lends itself to a different conclusion.--Karekmaps?! 01:22, 19 December 2008 (UTC) Oh, I didn't check that one. Interesting. So the J3D account and the Nallan account are used from the same computer at times. I see two options of what went on on December 17; either Nallan logged in as J3D and used the sysop tools to look up the IP details listed above and make inane posts on multiple admin pages; or J3D looked up the IP details above, and noticing that Nallan was showing up as using the same IP he went about making damned sure that I checked it out in the hope of creating a dramafest by checking my IP details, and making posts on A/PT and signing as Nallan. I'm inclined to go for option 2, because he even went to the trouble of IP checking a non existent user, presumably refering to this post of Nallans] which looks very much like something a friend would do if they managed to log in to the accoun ("I'm feeling niggardly LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL (nigger)"). Worst case senario, other kids have access to J3Ds account, best case, J3D is using his checkuser abilities to stir up drama because he's bored with it already -- boxy talk • teh rulz 07:21 19 December 2008 (BST) This seems like something Kevan would be interested in. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 07:32, 19 December 2008 (UTC) WOW!! You guys have really fucking overactive imaginations! I couldn't think up such a tale of intrique if you paid me! Anyway as well as being astounded i should probably offer up an option number 3. Nallan and I are real life friends, you should all be aware of this, we don't hide it. As real life friends we visit each other at home (each other's IP addresses) and thus on occasion edit from one anothers IPs. I'm fairly certain this is well within the bounds of the guidelines. Now you sure fucking don't have to believe me, but i don't really care either way, this is simply if you're interested - No one edits off my account except me. I can't guarentee you no one edits off Nallan's account except him but i sure haven't. Anyway that is pretty much the story. I love it how the option with the most simple explanation is the one you all fail on.--xoxo 04:03, 20 December 2008 (UTC) lol this shit made my day. Kevan must be alerted! fucking gold.--Nallan (Talk) 04:52, 20 December 2008 (UTC) You do realise that that explaination is basically the same as option 2, except it neglects to explain why you felt it neccessary to look up my IP details, the IP details of a non existent user and act like a prat on multiple admin pages -- boxy talk • teh rulz 22:39 20 December 2008 (BST) "noticing that Nallan was showing up as using the same IP he went about making damned sure that I checked it out in the hope of creating a dramafest by checking my IP details" How is that even remotely like what happened??? --xoxo 14:30, 21 December 2008 (UTC) The above moved from Nubis' talk page -- boxy talk • teh rulz 10:10 28 December 2008 (BST) Continued discussion I'll guess you'll never find out the answer ;) --xoxo 03:44, 21 December 2008 (UTC) Unless it shows up here... --xoxo 14:31, 21 December 2008 (UTC) So you want to continue the drama, but strangely you move the discussion, and your reply to me to someone else's talk page. Good work, chum, way to show me that you didn't do it all for the excitement -- boxy talk • teh rulz 01:39 22 December 2008 (BST) Yeah, coz i totally moved it :|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:| L2history. --xoxo 02:26, 22 December 2008 (UTC) OK, sorry. It was Nubis who brought it back out. You still haven't explained your random IP checks though -- boxy talk • teh rulz 04:51 22 December 2008 (BST) We were drunk, it seemed funny.--xoxo 04:52, 22 December 2008 (UTC) Fark, are you trying to get demoted, or something? Found out just how not-fun sysoping is, eh -- boxy talk • teh rulz 04:54 22 December 2008 (BST) The only sysop function i did was IPing you and the guidelines state suspicion is enough to warrant doing so. So there really isn't anything demotion worthy happening there.--xoxo 05:33, 22 December 2008 (UTC) So what made you suspicious of me? Oh, and User:Nigggers!, who doesn't even exist, but was "suspicious" to you too. What makes it possibly demotion worthy is that it seems you were looking up someone's personal information with your mates for a lark -- boxy talk • teh rulz 07:02 22 December 2008 (BST) We were drunk! Niggggers was for lulz, to see what happened when you IPed a non-existant user. Also, my IP info has been looked up repeatedly by the admin, i have never used any other account besides this one on the wiki and never allowed anyone else access to mine. Yet on 5 separate occasions sysops have decided it was necessary to look up my details, surely that's overkill? Like i said, it was for fun, nothing bad happened with your IP info and quite frankly my internet skills don't extend as far as being able to turn an IP address into anything useful.--xoxo 07:25, 22 December 2008 (UTC) But you did give the other sysops reason to be suspicious by signing as Nallan and all of a sudden changing your posting style on admin pages. The fact that you think it's acceptable to get drunk with your mates and go looking up people's IP addresses goes towards your trustworthiness to have access to such information -- boxy talk • teh rulz 07:30 22 December 2008 (BST) Your idea of an awesome time while drunk with your mates involves a computer? Wow, you're pretty cool. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 05:02, 22 December 2008 (UTC) I am cool, 2 Cool ;) (wink means it's funny lol) --xoxo 05:33, 22 December 2008 (UTC) Hey bob - who exactly do we have to impress here? I play a MMORPG based around a zombie apocalypse - gave up on being cool loooong ago.--Nallan (Talk) 05:37, 22 December 2008 (UTC) Never too late to come back to the light brosef - give up on the game and do more for shits and giggles. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 05:42, 22 December 2008 (UTC) So Halo 3 is THAT fun is it?

Shame really, as it contains the biggest page on the wiki.--Karekmaps?! 02:42, 13 December 2008 (UTC) Oh, I know it's there... I just don't see the point in putting journals there (as opposed to user sub pages), because it is only a pseudo-namespace, basically just an ordinary page. At least as a user sub-page, we can tell who the journal belongs to, regardless of what character name is attributed to it -- boxy talk • teh rulz 12:13 13 December 2008 (BST) grats on promotion I look forward to your nervous breakdown and the subsequent power trip that will get you desysopped, a proud UDbureaucrat tradition.

You know it too be true. -- Vista  T  16:01, 12 December 2008 (UTC) I was planning on just slowly loosing interest, and fading away, but if that's not the done thing... any suggestions on an original wig out plan? ;) -- boxy talk • teh rulz 12:15 13 December 2008 (BST) several things firstly, fuck you. You are unfit to be a crat. But then again, maybe you're not too bad. I still haven't made up my mind. Before i forget i also need to discuss this with you. Look at it. It's technically a subpage of some fucked up spelling shit, but it's not. He just misused the /, whats the deal with that? Also, boxy, i don't mind y ou. You're alright. You can be a cunt. And you sure are no grim. But still you're fun to fuck around with on this wiki of ours. Anyway since i'm writing this i should probably endorse 2 Cool and suggest you vote on ALiM. Do it now. cya round buddy. Also, do you live in sydney? coz that shit would be lolarious...--xoxo 17:11, 7 December 2008 (UTC) Normally we'd use % url encoding but it apparently doesn't work with slashes on the wiki. So nothing.--Karekmaps?! 18:03, 7 December 2008 (UTC) You could move it to Suggestion:20081206 Pistol Appearnce-Type, or something, if it's bugging you. If you do, fix up the links to it, and get rid of the redirect. p.s. this page is a bit underused, atm, you should contribute :p -- boxy talk • teh rulz 00:26 8 December 2008 (BST) dun.--xoxo 00:46, 8 December 2008 (UTC) Here's your keys back I think we should get a policy going to make you a permanent 'crat. =p I think this is your 4 term now unless my adding is hopelessly screwed.

Group sub pages go in your group space, where I put it. Now you stop recreating the page in the wrong place, or you're the one going to get done for "insubordination". If you want to have exclusive control of what can and can not be said on the page, and especially the talk page, it must be in your group sub page area, otherwise it's a community page, and anyone can edit it and removing others comments off the talk page is considered vandalism -- boxy talk • teh rulz 05:31 22 November 2008 (BST) Might help if you explained how he could use it as a template outside of that namespace for the sake of the Recruitment pages.--Karekmaps?! 05:56, 22 November 2008 (UTC) Looks like he understands that already -- boxy talk • teh rulz 08:44 22 November 2008 (BST) Quick Question; how do you charge somebody higher ranking then you with insubordination?--Jakezing 15:18, 22 November 2008 (UTC) Because Darkmagick/Powerhouse, when you're making pages on a WIKI, the Sysops technically have a higher rank in the disciplinary hierarchy than a normal user does. Shut up and get out noaw.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 15:34, 22 November 2008 (UTC) Why do you have to be so mean you Bastard; What did I ever do to you? I was asking how the idiot here (soldier) could call Insubordination on Boxy if BOXY outranks him? Learn to read child; it helps quite alot.--Jakezing 15:42, 22 November 2008 (UTC) I'm mean because normally when I converse with you, you end up annoying the piss out of me. Now, with the way your question is set up, it looks as if you're asking Boxy instead of Soldier. Learn proper formatting. Indent to the person you're talking to, not the people you aren't talking to. That is funny though, asking me to lrn2read, as you still can't even use the English language properly (I.E. proper capitalization).-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 15:54, 22 November 2008 (UTC) This conversation is the funniest thing I've read all week. =p -- Cheese 16:09, 22 November 2008 (UTC) Indenting to a older message is quite a hassle though and on wikipedia it is... Frowned apon because it adds random indent into the conversation and supercedes older posts.--Jakezing 18:07, 22 November 2008 (UTC) I'm actually laughing at Soldier and his misguided ideas that he is actually in the right here. =p It makes me chuckle. And his grasp of basic English grammar is brilliant. That also makes it 10 times more funny. -- Cheese 22:37, 22 November 2008 (UTC) Cute, now hows about someone actually try to sort out his problem instead of patronizing him.--Karekmaps?! 02:33, 23 November 2008 (UTC) You could get off your ass and do it yourself to you know. You can't blame us when your just as lazy.--Jakezing 04:47, 23 November 2008 (UTC) I did, and I shouldn't have had to when two other sysops were already an active part in this discussion.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.--xoxo 07:47, 26 October 2008 (UTC) Gah, why must you do this? If it doesn't change things it doesnt matter. Every user who voted has been informed on their talk page, they'll notice. Secondly, you're wrong, not every user voted for all pages concerned. Thirdly, why were they grouped together in the first place? When they were first moved across by a sysop they should have been split up, sorry i only just got onto that. Fourthly, different votes are valid for different entries, people shouldn't be expected to vote on all of them, it'd be like me putting up lol made up page and user:boxy and not letting people vote on them separately. While my action is not backed by any specific policy these cases must be considered separately and to ensure justice is served for them (and everyone has time to recast their votes) the 2 weeks can reset if you'd prefer. I don't plan on reverting because edit wars are pointless however please do not ignore this, we can discuss here, irc or wherever.--xoxo 08:09, 26 October 2008 (UTC) It changes thing by making a shitload of people (at least one of which says he wont be around for a couple of week) re-cast their votes, even if they don't want to change them. All the delete vote made it clear that they didn't want any of them kept, yet you removed the lot, because voting wasn't going your way. Moar drama, or w00t? -- boxy talk • teh rulz 08:13 26 October 2008 (BST) I've made it pretty clear why i separated them, they should have been seperated from the start. Unfortunately those people voted on the lot, unaware they could be considered separately. I did the next best thing and told them all personally, this doesn't have to be more drama and i think my informing of all concerned parties speaks fairly clearing i wasn't looking for more drama with this. Why said they wouldn't be around for several weeks? --xoxo 08:16, 26 October 2008 (UTC) If you want to split them up, then all current votes should be placed under each page, and let people know that they can change them for individual pages if they want. Oh, and make the headers different this time -- boxy talk • teh rulz 08:22 26 October 2008 (BST) Fine.--xoxo 08:26, 26 October 2008 (UTC) "every delete vote was for all pages concerned". Prove it. Read's wasn't.--Nallan (Talk) 08:08, 26 October 2008 (UTC) Reads was a keep vote -- boxy talk • teh rulz 08:13 26 October 2008 (BST) Gah, you're right. Sorry.--Nallan (Talk) 08:38, 26 October 2008 (UTC) You forgot one Kevan. --xoxo 01:36, 25 October 2008 (BST) That page has long been considered a special exception.--Karekmaps?! 01:37, 25 October 2008 (BST) twas said in jest! But yeah i think Kevan should be it's own page with information for people about who Kevan is. It's important people know and his userpage doesn't really make that clear.--xoxo 01:40, 25 October 2008 (BST) Hm... this looks kinda bad-faith-ey in the sense that it's almost impersonating an actual official message. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 14:30, 24 October 2008 (BST) You know where a/vb is, whats the matter? need a sysop to hold your hand?--xoxo 00:12, 25 October 2008 (BST) "Kinda bad-faith-ey... almost impersonating"? lol. Anyone who can read will immediately see that it's not official.--Nallan (Talk) 00:55, 25 October 2008 (BST) Possibly to avoid actual punishment for a stupid joke. Not much like Cyberbob but it's a very possible result, so quitcherbitchin'. :P--Karekmaps?! 00:57, 25 October 2008 (BST) Quick question What timezone are you in? Just curious as to why you're the only sysop on (or are the others just staying away from a/vb for now).--Nallan (Talk) 10:13, 24 October 2008 (BST) Also I think I might be due for a ban struck. Is this correct? It seems ages since my last vandal case.--Nallan (Talk) 10:17, 24 October 2008 (BST) I'm Australian, and one escalation has been struck -- boxy talk • teh rulz 12:15 24 October 2008 (BST) Danke.--Nallan (Talk) 12:17, 24 October 2008 (BST) A/VD Plz to be striking my escalation? It's been well over a month and I've made 250 edits since then. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 08:51, 24 October 2008 (BST) Done -- boxy talk • teh rulz 12:15 24 October 2008 (BST) My escalation I can tell you this, I guarantee you I have no idea how to deal with images, it was the first time I have uploaded an image that wasn't already resized for me by someone else.--CyberRead240 08:49, 24 October 2008 (BST) A/D Can you please protect it for the short term. CB shows no desire to let the pages be moved there as policy dictates.--xoxo 08:24, 24 October 2008 (BST) Yes, please do. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 08:25, 24 October 2008 (BST) How about every one of you pricks stops edit conflicting me, now. And I'll try to sort through your fucking crap -- boxy talk • teh rulz 08:26 24 October 2008 (BST) Fire away. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 08:27, 24 October 2008 (BST) lol, you sure like licking boxyanus--CyberRead240 08:28, 24 October 2008 (BST) A good way to prevent edit conflicts is an hour long ban of the feuding parties (if they don't stop after being told), it gives them time to cool down, and time for you to sort through the mess. Well thats my 2c. - Jedaz - 08:29/24/10/2008 Oh so tempting :) -- boxy talk • teh rulz 08:35 24 October 2008 (BST) thats fucking insightful...--CyberRead240 08:30, 24 October 2008 (BST) Right, because that worked out so well for the last guy that tried it. Do you remember? Also, I believe the edit warring is over. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 08:32, 24 October 2008 (BST) I can't remember that, links please? (looks like the edit warring has just moved pages) - Jedaz - 08:59/24/10/2008 YOUR 2C!?!?!??!! Sorry, but i fucking couldn't resist.... --xoxo 08:33, 24 October 2008 (BST) Your comments on the Gamestriker4 case I just wanted to say that I feel that was a bit out of line. Regardless of your own personal opinions, your position should not be compromised by what you think of one user and his associates. This is no way coming on here to pick a fight, just dropping you a line in hope that you re-read over what you have written and realize that the Vandal banning page is no place for a SysOp to sledge a user like that. Personal opinions are fine, and I could see why you would have them against Jed, but the whole "aLiM nAzI" thing is just not on really. That case had nothing to do with personal ownership of the page, he never claimed that, and as a Sysop you should not immediately jump to those conclusions. You are more or less showing that every case that Jed is involved in, you are going to reduce it to some slanging match over the way they treat pages that they created. Your position requires you to be objective, and you could not even do that when it came to a simple vandal case. Whether or not ALiM or its offspring are your cup of tea is irrelevant, as it means something to some users of this Wiki and you should respect that. Please, don't take this as some sort of attack, just re-read it and consider what your actually saying next time. It is just that the more I read it, the more I feel as if it is a little out of line, that's all.--CyberRead240 13:49, 23 October 2008 (BST) lol butthurt --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 13:53, 23 October 2008 (BST) cool story bro--CyberRead240 13:57, 23 October 2008 (BST) i know bra --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 14:16, 23 October 2008 (BST) User contributions As I peruse the wiki, I often read the A/VB page to just see who's causing mischief. I noted that the person known as Woot has been posting nonsense on that page. So, after taking a look at his or her contributions lately, they are almost exclusively gibberish posted to various talk pages in an obvious effort to be a troll. Is there a policy that applies to that sort of nonsense? I wasn't able to find one. In general I think a bad faith case probably applies to trolls. your thoughts? --Stephen Colbert DFA 20:04, 21 October 2008 (BST) Insanity is his thing... but generally he is a helpful member of the community, if given a chance, for example, this edit. Trolling would need to be a whole lot more blatant than WOOT's contributions, which seem to be more playful than anything. But no, there is no trolling policy, and it would be extremely hard to write one, given the totally subjective nature of "what is trolling?" -- boxy talk • teh rulz 08:07 22 October 2008 (BST) THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TROLLING!!!--xoxo 08:42, 22 October 2008 (BST) Also; There is no Cabal.--Karekmaps?! 21:04, 22 October 2008 (BST) I heartily concur.--xoxo 06:22, 23 October 2008 (BST) Great Fire ambiguity Hey as one of the wikizens around here that has a background with ALiM projects that goes back before the purge, we'd greatly appreciate if you went here and testified. We are asking for witnesses who can confirm the fact that the page, Great Fire of 1912 was indeed created by and largely moderated by myself and User:J3D. The task of claiming our creation over the page is complicated by the fact that no history is available to back up our claim due to the history purge. Thanks for you time.--Nallan (Talk) 08:12, 11 October 2008 (BST) Colloquialisms It is neutral tone, the nav bar really recognises the people who have put effort into making the page and linking to other relevant projects that might interest readers. cbf repeating, see cyberbobs talk.--xoxo 03:27, 11 October 2008 (BST) The nav bar is ugly and intrusive, The nav bar is bloody ugly and intrusive, and doesn't fit the overall style of general community pages, If you want to make a guide, and put it in the guide namespace, please try to make it look professional, I'm getting real sick of the constant spam and cross-promoting being done by the 2 Cool crew to get page hits up on their "quality projects". Just because your group helped make those pages, doesn't mean that you should be allowed to spam adverts to your group page, and other, often totally unrelated, pages you created -- boxy talk • i 05:58 11 October 2008 (BST) It's a guide for colloquialisms, by it's very nature it is going to be somewhat unprofessional hence stuff like the picture and the text adds to the character of the page. I think the ALiMnav template is quite beautiful, it got a tad out of hand with the add for the ALiM party but since that is removed it's back to it's old beautiful self. We are thinking of redesigning it to make it more streamlined (wider and not so tall) but yeah, that won't be until november or so. --xoxo 06:08, 11 October 2008 (BST) You think that a nav bar that is baby shit yellow, over half a page wide, and 11 lines high isn't out of hand at the moment? Please? Your nav bar screams "look at me, look at me!". It's a bloody advert -- boxy talk • i 06:21 11 October 2008 (BST) Would a soft, sky blue suffice?--Nallan (Talk) 06:24, 11 October 2008 (BST) A 1x1x1 one should look good -- boxy talk • i 06:26 11 October 2008 (BST) I think that may be a little impractical...--Nallan (Talk) 06:27, 11 October 2008 (BST) We did have a community discussion about the implementation of the navbar, shame you are opposed to democratic process or you could have joined us...--xoxo 06:29, 11 October 2008 (BST) hum... the 2 cool navbar is sooo awesome :D i think i am going to copy it and add it to all pages i helped create and improve... lemmesee... the Suburb page, the suburb template, Arbitration, Policy Discussion, the building danger reports, the main page... all these and many others will advertise me, so everybody knows how awesome i am :D --People's Commissar Hagnat talk 13:57, 13 October 2008 (BST) lolz -- boxy talk • teh rulz 14:07 13 October 2008 (BST) We already know hagnat, and they have to be pages you (or your group) singled handedly sculpted from nothingness fyi, or else it's not really 2C, ya dig? Feel free to borrow our awesome navbar for any purpose though.--xoxo 00:29, 14 October 2008 (BST) Willfully ignoring his point, by pretending to take his sarcasm at face value, doesn't change the fact that what you are doing with these pages you create is extremely petty. Demanding to be acknowledged, in such an obnoxious way, as the creator is pathetic. Look at the MIC, Hagnat created that from scratch. The closest thing that I see to your garish navbar is a single category linking to Category:Style Up!. MIC = Classy ALiM = Obnoxious -- boxy talk • teh rulz 11:17 14 October 2008 (BST) There is one key difference here you are willfully ignoring, ALiM etc pages are fictional lulz, MIC etc are informative pages and are not the place for links to other stuff you've created. Unless of course the other stuff you've created is somehow relevant, in which case go for it! What we do is more comparable to groups listing their allies in a section of their page.--xoxo 11:29, 14 October 2008 (BST) What? Caiger Mall isn't just as fictional as the great fire? :P If you want to claim your pages as fictional, non-informative pages, then perhaps you should keep them totally separate from the "factual" side of the wiki, and not implant links to them into suburb, locations and other informative pages? And no, I don't expect you to do that, I just expect you to concede that there is no clear "fictional" "factual" divide, and that you are placing many of those pages into the community section of the wiki, regardless of the clearly humourous intent in a lot of them. The colloquialisms page (the topic under discussion, lolz) is clearly meant to be mostly an informative page, explaining abbreviations, btw. Extremely petty to remove it from the main namespace, and place it in your own private area simply to control it's styling so that you can keep your advertising banner on it. Perhaps I'll edit the redirect so that it has all the content, without obnoxious banner and group ownership problems? Good idea, wat? -- boxy talk • teh rulz 11:42 14 October 2008 (BST) and waste kevan's precious server space?? I think not...--xoxo 11:55, 14 October 2008 (BST) if pages created by ALiM are fictional and owned by 2 Cool, then this template shouldn't have been added to all locations, as its merely advertising your group. There was a similar issue months ago with Dunell Hills Police Dept. overcategorization of buildings, and it was shot dead by The Dead (lol) and with the support of many sysops (myself included). ALiM should either turn into public domain, with a nice and unobtrusive template on its pages, or have all advertise of the group removed from building, suburb and other public domain pages. --People's Commissar Hagnat talk 14:14, 14 October 2008 (BST) Location Editing Locations talk archive: Suggestions Suggestion talk archive: Moderation Moderation talk archive Editing teh Wiki Editing talk archive: General Talk General talk archive:
