What I did on that page was not a test, and I have no need to use the sandbox, I have a great understanding of html. I put that shortened link there in order to decrease the size of the web page, as it could be scrolled tens of centimeters to the right due to such a long link, please restore it to how it was. 124.184.255.154 (talk) 04:28, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Feel free to re-do the edit yourself, but just a note, we do not use standard HTML on Wikipedia. That is just a form message too. Allmightyduck (talk) 20:16, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Ddlogo1.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ddlogo1.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:25, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Your rollback request

Hi! I regret that I must inform you that your request for the rollback permission has been denied. You can discover why by checking the archives at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Denied/December 2008#allmightyduck. SoxBot X (talk) 04:00, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello, per your request, I've granted you Rollback rights! Just remember:

• Rollback gives you access to certain tools, including Huggle, some of which can be very powerful, so exercise caution
• Rollback is only for blatant vandalism
• Having Rollback rights does not give you any special status or authority
• Misuse of Rollback can lead to its removal by any administrator
• Please read Help:Reverting and Wikipedia:Rollback feature to get to know the workings of the feature
• You can test Rollback at Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback
• You may wish to display the {{User wikipedia/rollback}} userbox and/or the {{Rollback}} top icon on your user page

If you have any questions, please do let me know. You might also find Twinkle useful for issuing warnings to vandals. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 01:27, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

WWE Over the Limit

I've tried to Request Page Protection with Twinkle, but I get an error that the request has been made. On edit I see, {{pp-semi|small=yes}}. I'm guessing the edit means that the page is protected, but yet anons can still vandalize the page. Any ideas? (This has been going on for a while, just check the history). --ANowlin: talk 02:14, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism

What defines vandalism as it pertains to this organization? I had a few edits reverted by you. I am not saying that it wasn't just to revert the edits, it just seems interesting to me that you have such a quick response to what I post.70.251.193.131 (talk) 03:38, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

In my mind, vandalism is anything that would look like graffiti. I an on Huggle, which automatically pulls up fresh edits to be moderated. Plus I like it! Allmightyduck (talk) 03:40, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

You like vandalism, or you like reverting vandalism?70.251.193.131 (talk) 03:44, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

REVRETING vandalism, of course! I wouldn't get rollback privileges if I caused vandalism! Allmightyduck (talk) 03:45, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Misuse of rollback

[1] That is clear misuse of rollback. And an incorrect warning of vandalism was also applied. [2] Please be more careful in future as this behavior frustrates good editors. --86.45.87.9 (talk) 22:13, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

First off, I am sorry about that! As with many vandalism fighters, we try to be fast but speedy. I guess I was a little too much of the latter in this case. Thank you for notifying me, and also, I did not use rollback, I used undo with Huggle. Although Huggle requires rollback to operate. I think it uses undo. Hmm. Once again, sorry! I will try to be more careful in the future. Allmightyduck (talk) 22:16, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

I agree with that. I messed up my first edit, so it may have looked like I was vandalising with my multiple edits, but I was not. I'm just trying to include something that I consider important.Dominar_Rygel_XVI (talk) 22:30, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

I am sorry about that. The URL appeared to look like a link to an adult website, rather than a gaming website. Please help me out by letting me know in the edit comment in the future. Sorry for the confusion! Allmightyduck (talk) 22:32, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi.

I'm about to undo this edit of yours, because the editor blanked the page, thereby making it speedy deletable under G7. ;) Salvio ( ^{Let's talk 'bout it!}) 00:39, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

No, I was not about to do undo your edit. Someone else beat me to it. Sorry for bothering you, then... Salvio ( ^{Let's talk 'bout it!}) 00:40, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!

for the barnstar.... I usually feel like I'm the one who's behind on reverts. Thanks a lot! Wikipelli ^Talk 18:45, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Castle AFC

Evening Alllmightduck,

Whilst I appreciate your input into this subject, you must understand that our football club undergoes drastic changes season upon season. I have eradicated the squad lists as they are no longer relevant nor useful. Come next October, whole new squad lists will be added.

We love our wikipedia entry, and I am just trying to make it as complete an article as possible. I can see why this would come across as senseless vandalism, but I am actually trying to make information as accurate as possible. I am not at all experienced in editing wikipedia pages, so some of my work may be somewhat ham-fisted at first. Needless to say, of all the pages on wikipedia, this is the one I care about the most.

Thank you for your input,

Matt Caspell —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.145.198 (talk) 00:45, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Matt, and thanks for letting me know about this! I recommend you make your own Sandbox for the page at first, as the articles should not be works in progress in the main namespace. Make sure you don't have a conflict of interest while writing. Since you said you don;t know wikicode that well, I recommend you read this article on your first article. Enjoy wikipedia! Allmightyduck What did I do wrong? 00:50, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer permission

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:28, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Blind use of AWB

Don't use it so blindly. Please take a closer look at edits with it before you do them - it's not a tool to be used without user assistance, and the responsability is on the user, not the tool. RN 14:48, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry I went wrong, and I do know the technology assist policy, but where did I go wrong? Allmightyduck What did I do wrong? 14:50, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

You messed up the inline referencing a bit on Microsoft. Appreciate the typo fixing though - it isn't that big of a deal, just pay extra attention and don't assume the tool is flawless, they toned down full AWB bots for a reason, you know...

Anyway, thanks again for the typo fix and also pointing out some of the newer wikilinking features, and thanks for the response. (one example: One of the things was moving a reference for a paragraph before others, indicating it's a reference for the last sentence and not general reference for the paragraph) RN 14:57, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Salt Lake International Airport

Sorry, I hit the wrong button and between you correcting it and me correcting it I may have cause you grief. Anyway I am hitting preview instead of save. Sorry, I will be more careful in the future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JhanJensen (talk • contribs) 22:09, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

No grief caused! Yep, edit conflicts happen. I recommend if you get an edit conflict, check the article before trying again. Also, sign your comments with four tildes "~". It saves Sinebot some work. Have a Nice day! Allmightyduck What did I do wrong? 22:17, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Minor but anyway Quorum of Seventy Evangelists

Are you certain of that typo correction you made on Quorum of Seventy Evangelists? I was facing with the same one and I thought it might be an odd way to spell a name. As I couldn't find the source I decided to leave it. Did you find the source? --Muhandes (talk) 06:19, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Now that you ask, no. I did not find the source, I figured most of the names were not something Middle Easteren, which I usually steer clear of. I've reverted the edit. Thanks for letting me know! Allmightyduck What did I do wrong? 14:23, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Five Finger Death Punch are not Thrash. They're Groove in vain of Pantera. If you link the allmusic site, it'll say so. Heavy/Groove/Nu metal. That's it. Please stop changing it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.16.7.154 (talk) 16:04, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the barnstar! :) You've beaten me to a fair few reverts yourself. It's always good to know I'm not the only one keeping the vandals at bay. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:07, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

ACC

I wish to sign up fro the ACC on toolserver. Allmightyduck What did I do wrong? 18:34, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Further to the reply you received by email, I just wanted to clarify a couple of points. I have nothing against automated tools per se, and you are doing great work reverting vandalism, it is just that I would have liked to have seen some sort of non automated interraction on Wikipedia outside of the realms of AWB etc. vandalism reversion. The suggestions I made are not hard and fast requirements to joining ACC, but were given as some examples of how you could help out, and show that you would make a great addition to the list of tool users. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me on my talkpage. Regards --Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 03:28, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Account set up help

Hi. I just created an account, as per your suggestion. Is there a way that I can have my past edits listed under my user name so that my IP doesn't show and so that I get credit for the contributions that I did before under this new name?

thanks! Republic of Texas (talk) 04:46, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
