Hello and welcome to my talk page! If you have a question, ask me. If I know the answer, I'll tell you; if I don't, I'll find out (or one of my talk-page stalkers might know!), then we'll both have learnt something!

m:Meetup/London/41

Thanks a bundle for your RfA support; I'll give a better thank-you when/if I pass :P. Just a note that the date for the meet has been confirmed as the 9th; hope to see you there! Ironholds (talk) 22:41, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

You're more than welcome. You'll make a damn fine admin, and 114 of our esteemed colleagues seem to agree with me! You can buy me a pint at the meetup! I saw the date was confirmed a while a go, I've got my train ticket, so I'll be there. I don't suppose you're around on the evening of the 8th? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:47, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

I am, as it happens; another Wikipedian and I are going to be playing around with a camera in central London. Quis? Ironholds (talk) 22:55, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm heading in on the train on the Saturday. Don;t suppose you'd fancy meeting in a pub or something? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 01:14, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

You make me jealous I live in the US you live in the UK and I don't :P, grrr, I wish I could come...Tofutwitch11 ^(TALK) 02:15, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

(wp:TPS to Tofutwitch11): In case you didn't know, there are meetups worldwide. Trafford09 (talk) 11:38, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

There's going to be a meetup of all the Bigwigs in Raleigh, NC come August which you are welcome to attend. Interpret "bigwigs" literally; last time I turned up in the conventional English set of court robes, including a powdered, 90 year old horsehair wig. Ironholds (talk) 15:41, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

• Works for me! Drop me an email and we'll sort the details. Cheers, Ironholds (talk) 11:29, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

I understand there is worldwide meet ups, but I wish I could go to the London one :P Tofutwitch11 ^(TALK) 23:49, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

FYI

See User talk:Cheers!-bot. Since it's flagged as a bot elsewhere, I've unblocked this account. Courcelles 03:43, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Block rqst for 72.66.110.50

Just a FYI - I've left a note at WP:AIV, about the school block request for 72.66.110.50. After looking up the whois, it's a Jewish Day school, so that could explain why the editing was done on xmas eve. --Funandtrvl (talk) 21:34, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

I don't know what you mean about there not being anything at that page, but if you open the comments directly below the video, the entire article is right there. Corvus cornix_talk 00:25, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

When I went to that URL, there was nothing there. I'll have another look. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:26, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

OK, it worked the second time, but I can't see the text of the article on there anywhere. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:31, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

It got deleted. But if you go to the link, it's under the video, you have to open the uploader's text. Corvus cornix_talk 00:47, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Super late reply

[1] I remember the vandal IP address that you blocked and I do recall you commenting on it. I felt like replying but I misplaced it...and now that I found it months later and it might be outdated, I find it necessary to reply, just so you know. NHRHS2010 |  Happy Holidays!  14:26, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Wow, that was nearly five months ago! How on earth did you find that again? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:54, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

AWB request

Hello HJ! I have an AWB request here. However, the administrator who handled the request is hesitant to grant me AWB privileges. HJ, I will not be angry if I don't get AWB privileges, but it would be nice to know whether you think I'm mature enough to handle this tool properly. Thanks in advance. HeyMid (contribs) 14:37, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

What do you want to do with it? If you have a few tasks that you want to do or backlogs you want to help with or something, I don't see any compelling reason no to grant it, but make sure you're familiar with al the rules—for example, you shouldn't make just cosmetic changes or changes that have no effect on the output and you shouldn't edit ridiculously quickly. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:11, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, HJ. I'll let them decide. Cheers, HeyMid (contribs) 15:16, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the quick help. --Kleopatra (talk) 17:10, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

No worries. Just make sure you check with User:GorillaWarfare before moving it back to mainspace. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:11, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

I did leave him/her a courtesy note, but didn't check before moving it. It appears to be a well-established, long-standing religious charity in the US with plenty of sources, and I can't spend time discussing the why's of deletion with a notable organization. If there had been any question of notability or problems with the article, I would have handled it otherwise, but as a straight A7 I can't imagine that GorillaWarfare will take issue with the restoration. Again, thanks for the help. --Kleopatra (talk) 17:57, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism only account

I'm not sure I explained that all of User:Quimbc's actions were vandalism. Not sure how many warnings are needed to block a vandalism-only account. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:48, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Question regarding King of the Hill edit

- - Hi, Also, you removed ths last question without you answering. I figure this was since the question was not at the bottom of your page. I do understand that this is 4 months after the audit reverted being placed, but I figured I would still ask my question.

This is about a revert in regards to the "Bobby Hill" (King of the Hill) edit - Bobby's nickname edit that I placed. It has been removed and I am trying to find out as to why. The nickname is a valuable/constructive information which was directly stated in the "Torch Song Hillogy" episode during Season 6 of the show (so therefore it is correct/real information). If we are going to post the character's middle name, we might as well include the nickname too. If nicknames are not allowed in articles, we might as well remove "Jack" and/or "JFK" from John F. Kennedy's page since that was his nickname as well.
