WP:AIV

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thanks. Majorly _{(o rly?)} 16:16, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

UCC

Thanks for the heads-up about the controversy about the Upper Canada College article. These private school boys can get carried away. There were similar problems with the article about St. Michael's College School, which is about half a mile from UCC. John FitzGerald 23:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

NPW userbox

Hi - thanks for making that great userbox :) - I'll be adding to my userbox collection soonish. Thanks again, Martinp23 20:58, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for the revert and the counter update :-) --Rettetast 23:13, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Snowbot

Any chance you can tell Snowbot to clear out some user cats I deleted? That's a lot easier than going on AWB and removing the members :) VegaDark 02:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem, I've just been unblocked so I can tell my bot to deal with that. Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk)_CON^COI on 13:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a ton...and WTF, you were blocked? Glad to see that is resolved now. If you could have your bot check for empty user cats like this once or twice a week that would be great, I'll make sure to first remove the cats from any templates I see though. VegaDark 20:06, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Entrusted with the Bucket!

Yes, my identical copy of bucket-and-mop =]

Thank you for supporting me in my RfA. Thanks for your vote, I've received an overwhelming 96% support and successfully took a copy of bucket-and-mop from the main office!

School graduation exam and HKCEE are both pressing in, so I might become inactive for a while. But soon after that, I look forward to working with you! --Deryck C. 03:34, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Your comment on User Talk:Essjay

Hi! I'm sure your recent "worthless contributions" barnstar to Essjay's talk page was well meant, but it struck me as very inappropriate. Would you please reconsider placing it there? Thanks, William Pietri 08:46, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I think you meant 'countless' and mistyped? Might be worth heading back to clarify. All the best, Ben Aveling 09:51, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Ben is totally right. I'm really sorry for the mess. Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk)_CON^COI on 12:32, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I've been blocked by Pschemp (one month), but now I've been unblocked by other admins. I've just removed both my unblock requests, but in the history you can find what I had to say on this matter. I wanted to support him in this moment, not to bite him ;-). I think that it should be AGF another time :-(. Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk)_CON^COI on 13:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

snowbot

just a heads up, but your bot seems to have renamed Category:Women's Colleges that are Coeducational to simply [[Category:]] when it was supposed to be changed to Category:Former women's universities and colleges in the United States that became coeducational. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Keatinga (talk • contribs) 20:50, 3 March 2007 (UTC).

Thanks!!

Thanks so much for the barnstar, its my second so far even though I've been here since December (had my account since May '06). Again, thank you and I'm going to move it to the barnstar section of my Userpage (if you don't mind!!) Anyway Thanks and happy editing!!!Tellyaddict 11:18, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Of course move it ;-). Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk)_CON^COI on 11:20, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

thanks

Nice delete key, that. I'll try to collect the Alt and Ctl keys as well.--Mike Selinker 14:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!!!

Thanks for saying you would support me in any future RFAs, you see the thing is my failed RFA was only two months back so I'd like to leave it for 1-2 months, your comment is greatly appreciated and if you would like to nominate me in the future months I would be overjoyed, thanks again and happy editing.Tellyaddict 17:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Gosh, people have been so nice to me in the past few days. I'm humbled. Thank you. Xiner (talk, email) 01:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello

Is there a way to say "I Think This User Is a Sockpuppet But I Don't Know Whose"? That is what I would rather have done. I was kind of freaked out when they asked me to email them privately (because it seemed like they created the account to ask me to do so). And then when they started barking about the Army manual that scared me. I don't want some curette-wielding Marine showing up at my house. Any ideas? Joie de Vivre 23:24, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Xiner

I created Xiner's RFA, so you can create a co-nom. Oh, yeah, that reminds me, could you provide a link to Xiner's former RFA in your nom. It slipped my mind. bibliomaniac15 02:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Wait! Sorry I wasn't referring to Snowolf, whose offer I have to regrettably decline. I've already had one from a while back, you see. Sorry! I hope you'll still offer your thoughts on it, though. Xiner (talk, email) 02:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Mediation

It seems that after the edit war, one user was blocked for two days and then we could continue discussing again normally without wars, so it seems maybe we don't need a mediator anymore (however, presumably we will need it again... :-( ). Thank you, --Xtv - (my talk) - (que dius que què?) 05:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

That would be great! Where do we begin?

Also, the stuff Re-evolution put on my talk page you treated as a personal attack wasn't one. Rather, when he first entered Wikipedia, he thought the talk page was a chat line. (I know re-evolution in person) Canadianshoper 01:26, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: MedCab case

Sure, I'll check it out. Thanks, Khoikhoi 02:54, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Why did you remove a category?

Why did you remove Category:Dark Shadows cast members? I want a good explanation why you done this??

Commment about my RfA

Hi there, I'd like to thank you for earlier this week saying you agree with Retiono Virginian, he has created my nomination and I have accepted it and answered the questions, I'm not advertising my RfA as I know that is discouraged but because you agreed and felt I was ready for the tools, I just thought you may wish to leave your comments on the RfA. Again thanks and happy editing!! Regards - Tellyaddict 21:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Userboxes

That's not what I mean. I know how to transclude, but if I had more than one box on the same page, it would be pretty hard to just use one box. Do you see what I'm saying? Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 22:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

So I have to keep userboxes on different pages at all times in order to be able to transclude them? Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 22:15, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks for your help! Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 22:21, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Request

Please add a space to your signature; it's stretching the edit window. Then again, simply shortening it would be good too. Picaroon 22:34, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

The entire section was overrun, and the links were incorrect. I don't suggest reverting that section back to the original state, but if you think so go ahead.

Wolf's Rain

Wow. Snowolf you are quick. I was just writing something on the talk page as we speak. The section definitely needs editing. You have to read into the spoilers section to be able to get a good overview of the story. In addition, the last couple of paragraphs are more like a rant or someone's theories behind the plot, which is for a forum discussion. Maybe I went about this the wrong way but I am somewhat new to the whole editing thing (for the most part I just try to suggest things in the talk pages of established pages) but this was just begging for some improvements.--88wolfmaster 23:11, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I wasn't trying to make anything serious of it. It just looked annoying, and it would be better to remove it. Thanks for the response, I do appreciate it.

malfunction

Hi, the bot seems to be malfunction, it is deleting category instead of renaming as per the edit summary. E.g [1]. Cheers.--Vsion 00:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, you're totally right, unfortunately. Uman error, of course. This evening, when I'll be back at home, I'll fix the previously done damage. Right now, I fixed the code so the program can work. Snowolf ^(talk) _CON ^COI - 14:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Your Signature

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but your signature is exceedingly long in wikimarkup and I found it very disruptive following a diff because of it. Please can you try and reduce the overhead somehow? --Spartaz ^Humbug! 20:15, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Shortened. Snowolf ^(talk) _CON ^COI - 22:39, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

MedCab cases

Hi, I am concerned that you are taking on a lot of MedCab cases. I would recommend that you try to concentrate on a few cases, for example Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-03-06 Steven Alan Hassan has had some heated discussion during the last three days which you should try to moderate. --Ideogram 05:18, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

As clearly stated in my user page and on this talk page, I was moving my pc from one house to another. I'm now back. I don't think I have problems in handling multiple cases at the same time, simply I wasn't on the pc, in this days, for what I've said. Now I'm back and I'll begin moderation. However, I now see that I have to drop the case to which you were referring because of my strict COI policy. I've got issues with Mr. Introvigne, and I've decided to retire from that mediation. Snowolf ^(talk) _CON ^COI - 22:38, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Adoption

Hiya, I'm rather new to Wikipedia and I'm still trying to get a hang of things and would like someone to help me along the way. I was wondering if you would be interested in adopting me? Thanks!^SyBer_WoLff 21:15, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Awesome, Thank you :D ^SyBer_WoLff 21:30, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

My edits

I did edit a couple of things that were unhelpful but one of my edits to Wayne Rooney's personal life was perfectly fine and I would appreciate if you would put it back on, it would mean a lot to me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.232.101.238 (talk) 21:14, 9 March 2007 (UTC).

?

Why did you write a message to Cremepuff222 to me? What userbox? Chiefsfan364 (talk) 00:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Complaint

I don't like it when you remove my category I concieved. Category:Dark Shadows castmembers. (formerly Category: Dark Shadows actors) What right did you remove my category. I'm a shame of you. Shkarter1985 04:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for your support in my my recent RfA in which I withdrew because the oppose votes were almost equalling the supporters. I then decided to leave my account (Tellyaddict) and start fresh under a new username, however I quickly decided to reconsider after another user persuaded me not to leave the account - I am now glad I did reconsider because leaving that account and creating a new one was too hasty so I've decided to improve rather than starting again! I hope we can remain civil and that there were no negative feelings caused. Again, thanks for your support even though I withdrew it, your vote is much appreciated! Regards - Tellyaddict (Talk) 19:39, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply, I will be waiting quite a while until I feel ready and I will do the best I can to solve the problems and comments which were made. Again - Thanks!! Regards - Tellyaddict (Talk) 19:49, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Snowbot

Hi,

I would like to request a edit rate change for my bot, Snowbot. Can you please tell me what it the procedure for such a thing?

Thanks and happy editing,

Snowolf ^(talk) _CON ^COI - 00:59, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

No formal procedure. :-) What edit rate do you want? —METS501 (talk) 01:01, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Something like 7-10, I don't know how much exactly. Simply the currently rate of 5/min is slow, since CFD/W is really long many times. And even UCFD, sometimes. You're more expert than me, and you surely know better than me what is the rate that Snowbot need, I think ;-) Snowolf ^(talk) _CON ^COI - 10:54, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, there's no problem with 7-10 edits/min. Approved. :-) —METS501 (talk) 16:58, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Possible snowbot malfunction

A category was renamed per this discussion, however the bot didn't edit the template properly. I had to perform this edit to fix everything, thought I'd mention it to be on the safe side. Thanks. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 17:47, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Technical problem
