i hate you i hate you i hate you
lol. Who was that one guy that got seriously fucking pissed off at people fiddling with their edit summaries on A/DM again? Was it Hagnat? Damn, that was hilarious. Cyberbob Talk 16:17, 27 August 2009 (BST)
- Yeah I think it was. =p I don't think I've ever done one though. It's usually Gnome or DDR I think. -- Cheese 16:20, 27 August 2009 (BST)

Protected Images
DDR and I were discussing image linked signatures this morning and various thoughts have occurred to me in regards to the benefits and limitations of protected images. I understand you recently conduct some tests on protected images, can I get the results? --  .  . <== DDR Approved Editor 06:11, 15 September 2009 (BST)
- Basically, a protected image can't be uploaded over by a regular user. For example I could protect Image:Example.jpg and while protected it acts just like a protected page in that it can't be edited by anyone except sysops and has the added benefit that it cannot be overwritten by anyone bar sysops. This prevents newbies from accidentally overwriting commonly used images with their own and also prevents uploads of a vandalistic nature from occurring, i.e disgruntled victim overwrites a PKer's user page image with a penis. -- Cheese 10:08, 15 September 2009 (BST)
- So, via a standard protection, as one would normally request via A/P, the image cannot be overwritten (changing its size) and any associated text items (categories and redirects) cannot be changed? Excellent. Cheers Cheese. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 10:20, 15 September 2009 (BST)
- I invite you to add any thoughts you have. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 18:05, 15 September 2009 (BST)
While you're there, they need shifting out of the Moderation namespace and into the Administration one. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 15:15, 26 September 2009 (BST)

DEM Disambiguation
This is in response to your revert, with the explanation "Yes but people might still be looking for the group page."
I'm not sure that's a reasonable argument- I think that the great majority of people who are searching for "DEM" will be thinking of the Department of Emergency Management. There are other shared acronyms, such as "RRF", which don't have disambiguation pages because the most relevant search item is clear (in the case of RRF, the Ridleyabnk Resistance Front- not the Ridleybank Reclamation Forces).
Disambiguation is only necessary in cases of actual ambiguity. The other DEM doesn't even exist anymore- it's just a defunct group, with a defunct page, which nobody on the wiki seems to talk about except in the context of its shared acronym with one of the most readily recognized groups in the game (check here), the Department of Emergency Management (or "DEM", as virtually everyone who speaks about the group chooses to call it).
Would it be possible to review the decision to maintain that disambiguation page?--FT MCI 02:09, 3 October 2009 (BST)
- Cheese seems to be away. If he doesn't reply soon, I'll revert.
- As for your stance on disambiguation, I agree. When someone types PRC into Wikipedia, chances are they mean People's Republic of China, not say, Prince Royal's College. As you've said, PRC is a unambiguous redirect - when someone types PRC, they mean (mainland) China. The same goes for the DEM redirect here (although it would probably be prudent for the DEM to include a Wikipedia-style "Other uses of the abbreviation DEM can be found here" link at the top of your page.

- Meh. You have melted my icy heart with your cool island song. Or was that cooled my hot heart with a cool island song? =/ Warmed my cold heart with a hot island song? I don't know. Either way, I've done the revert. Enjoy! =) -- Cheese 22:06, 5 October 2009 (BST)
- Thank you! I've noted on the DEM page that the abbreviation may also refer to Deus Ex Machina.--FT MCI 22:52, 14 October 2009 (BST)

Just a quick thanks!
Just to let you know I appreciate the work you folks do on the wiki and I really appreciate the helpful tone you all take when I occasionally screw something up. Sorry about that last one i do know better...must be overtired! Anyways, just wanted to say thanks---Belisarius17 20:28, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
Still planning on using it? Linkthewindow Talk 06:07, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

woah
You just blammed A/A good, and I was about to settle. Should I not settle since it was vandalism and got removed or what? --Bob Boberton TF / DW  22:49, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
A/A
Why did you move a case which was almost done choosing an arbitrator to the talk page? I can understand the others, but the Bob Boberton one practically has a ruling sorted. The second Zombie lord slaps on an acceptance, it'll be pushed through, and off the page.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 22:50, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 22:51, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
- My bad. I meant to leave that one there. =p Just selected the whole block and chucked it over. I've fixed it now. -- Cheese 22:52, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Sitenotice
Just spotted your old old entry on Admin:Discussion about MediaWiki:Sitenotice. I really wanna get this working, what's the go? What repercussion does it have when mixed with CustomTitle template? -- 11:30, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
- I see nowww, and I replied via A/DS although I think the conversation would be better continued on GD. -- 11:42, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

- Do we have a Terms of use/service page? I've been looking for a while, and I don't seem to see one. It'd be nice if we did, because then we'd know things that are expressly forbidden due to hosting issues. If there isn't one, I'll ask Kevan about the information.--Suicidal Angel, Help needed? 13:26, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think we do. =/ All we've got is the Privacy Policy and a General Disclaimer to my knowledge. Might be an idea to check with Kevan. -- Cheese 15:40, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Thats why I put it up. I'm a bit busy right now, so have at it.--Suicidal Angel, Help needed? 15:24, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

- I expect you to behave yourself and not kill any Randoms. =p -- Cheese 14:28, 19 May 2009 (BST)
- I expect you guys not to kill me until after the manhunt. :D. Srsly, just restocking for now. I won't kill anyone until then.
Also, nice HQ. I didn't believe my eyes at first. And my first instinct was to call the horde. :D --Mr. Angel, Help needed? 21:16, 19 May 2009 (BST)
