Why did you change my anna nicole edit

I put that in there because people were saying that no news network reported that, and they did. I cited the site, and I would appreciate it that you wouldnt remove what I put —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nimrauko (talk • contribs) 19:23, 12 February 2007 (UTC).

The edit I reverted of yours was actually the one where you re-added the unreferenced tag that I had removed. Acalamari 19:29, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Mrs.Fowler

I deleted it. It was really an A7 biography. Cheers, Sarah 19:57, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

No worries. If you look down the right hand side of the page I linked to before, in the box called "deletions tools", you'll see a heading "Speedy", that section has all the speedy tags you can choose from. Sarah 20:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Autoblocked.

Converted block to AO. You should be able to edit now. Sorry for the trouble! – Luna Santin (talk) 03:10, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

You should be able to edit now. Sorry for any inconveniences . ~ Arjun 04:31, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah, well, glad to see the situation is resolved, either way. – Luna Santin (talk) 22:15, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the reporter

You did the right thing. You were polite and sensible throughout. It is no problem. :)--Jimbo Wales 02:58, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Monobooks

Well MB's are really helpful and I believe if you want the best and the basic you should download the popups here ,that would really help you a lot and yeah ..Happy Editing..--Cometstyles 18:55, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

• Seems like someone left quite a nice and well thought out explanation for you on my talk page :). Go check it out.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 19:18, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

• You're not annoying me with the new message box at all :), more than happy to help. Your monobook is located here User:Acalamari/monobook.js. I doubt you will experience any crashes on your first try. Experiment with the popups code give above (click the link provided by cometstyles). After saving the code on the page be sure to refresh your browser cash (Ctrl+F5 for Internet Explorer, follow the note on the page if you are using any other explorer). If the code and refresh works properly you should see yellow popups whenever you hover over a wikilink. Hope this helps.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 19:33, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

• Thank you. I'll try this out later. At the moment, I have been busy with two tasks: your talk page, and helping other users deal with a user with 10-20 sockpuppets. Acalamari 19:37, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

• No firewalls should not affect the coding. It isn't literally new page popups. Merely little yellow boxes that appear like tooltips.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 20:08, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

• Good, if firewalls did affect them, the popups would be doomed. Acalamari 20:10, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

• Sure no problem..Now Iam trying 2 fix mine..heheCometstyles 20:33, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

• Not a bad Idea..pretty cool and smart but nahh I cant go without Either the VandalProof or Popups..anywayz wateva Suits you Best..Ciao..ø~Cometstyles~ø

More sockpuppets of starwars1955

We just completed a checkuser on starwars1955's multiple identities and turned up 25 additional users - see Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser#Sockpuppets_of_starwars1955. Thanks, PSUMark2006 talk | contribs 02:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I saw Acalomari. Acalamari 02:58, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Paris Hilton

This is definitely a sensitive article which warrants semi-protection. However, I would like to see all pages, even those vulnerable to vandalism, such as George W. Bush, be unprotected from time to time. When I joined in 2005, no article ever received indefinite protection. I am particularly willing to unprotect a page if vandalism has been subdued and if it's on my watchlist. - Gilliam 03:10, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks.

You said: "Thanks Yamla. It's odd, but there seems to be a problem with my IP. I seem to be on three slightly different ones. I can't work it out. Anyway, I can edit, so thanks."

It's probably your ISP using a proxy server. ISPs are annoying that way. --Yamla 23:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: Your message

I'm not really sure what you want us to do about it but I don't think anything can be done. I suggest you just ignore it. Sarah 08:53, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Acalamari, this is another example of you over-reacting to something. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 09:50, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree I probably was overreacting, but when I joined Wikipedia, I didn't expect to get badmouthed and hated on blogs. I had better not get vandalism to my user or talk pages for as a result. Acalamari 16:38, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, because that is so difficult to revert. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 20:05, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

What is difficult to revert? I can easily revert vandalism on my user and talk pages (I just haven't been able to because Ryulong and Tra reverted it before I could,:) which I'm glad about). What did you mean? Acalamari 20:10, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

←On a random note, i thnk many active wikiepdians will make enemies. I recently found this with a nice "chrislk02 sucks" and a wonderfully vandalzied picture of myself! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:15, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I saw your message on Bubba Hotep's talk page, as I noticed my user page linked to there. I occasionally Google my username, only out of curiosity. You and I aren't the only ones with outisders hating us: I believe RyanPostlethwaite had people hate him as well. Acalamari 20:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I kind of look at it as a good thing! I am making enough of an impression that people have a problem with me. I personally dont have a problem with it! (It actually makes me feel that my effors on wikipedia do not go unnotices (which i am sure all of us feel from time to time)). The same goes for userpage vandalism. I feel that when my userpage gets vandalized, it means i am doing a good job! There are also many paeople watching my page (as well as yours) and when those vandal do strike, there is an army ready to strike them down! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I would love to stay invovled with this conversation but I am headed up to University of Virginia for a weekend of partying and the such! Take it easy. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:33, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

(Last message for you then) I agree, it is a good thing. I wish mine had come from reverting vandalism and not from reporting a name, but hey, I'm on someone's blog, even if they do hate me. I'll admit I was a bit scared at first (I'm 16, I didn't expect to be on a blog with so many heavily-negative things being said about me), but then I realized that they're only giving me publicity, and that I shouldn't be worried about what they're saying. Acalamari 20:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Acalamari, your right, I had a forum started up becuase I had a band called Rock Slope speedy deleted, the thread can be found here. As chris was saying, if something like this occurs, it probably means your doing a good job! I personally felt honoured that some people would go out of their way to start a forum about me! Oh yeah then theres [[Image:N500977567_16527_6213.jpg]] picture. I'm going to say well done for joining the club! But how do you feel about it? RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 22:38, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

How do I feel? Well, after being unsettled at first, I got over it. These people are giving me publicity. There's no point in getting upset or angry about what they're writing, as that would distract me from my Wikipedia and real life. Some of them were saying about how I waste time editing Wikipedia, but do they realize that they're wasting more time hating me? Acalamari 23:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah it is unsettling at first, I requested an editor review and had my userpage protected as I thought I was doing something wrong. What you need to remember is that they haven't got your address, they haven't got your phone number, all they know you as is Acalamari. Your not doing anything wrong on wikipedia, your request to WP:RFCN was a goof faith nomination, and by the sounds of the above forum, all angryblackwoman was doing when creating a username was trying to provoke a reaction RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 23:32, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

You read the links I gave to HighInBC and Sarah Ewart? If you did, good. As for them knowing me, yes, they only know me as Acalamari. I am glad you have to be a registered user to use the "E-mail this user feature," and I'm even more glad that the E-mail isn't revealed until someone responds. That way, no one can spam you. I'm not worried about these people, and even if they decide to vandalize my user and talk pages every hour, that won't bother me either, as I can always ask for semi-protection, like you did for your user page. :) Acalamari 23:41, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the Barnstar. Putting up with users like that is just part of the job, but it's nice to get the props for it! | Mr. Darcy talk 16:26, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!

Hi Alacamari! Thank you for welcoming me to Wikipedia! I certainly enjoy being here, editing stuff and laughing at the humour here. I regret not being able to edit as much as I like, because I have to do my work as a psychotherapist. Yet, after having listened to people´s worries it is so enjoyable to come to Wikipedia, where there are so many cheerful and enthusiastic persons! --Tellervo 07:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

You are very welcome. Acalamari 20:41, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

May I email you my latest article to make sure it meets standards? Thanks Project for Pride in Living 21:42, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: 10,000 Accounts.

Heh, that would be something. How would he keep them all organized? ;) He apparently does have a number of sleepers, but I doubt it's any number large enough for us to really be concerned over. – Luna Santin (talk) 22:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, he does have a lot of sleepers. I think 10,000 is a bluff; it would take a lot of time to just to acutally set up all those accounts. Acalamari 23:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

vandal watching

Thanks for watching my back. Keep fighting the good fight. Kaisershatner 19:00, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Locked Article

Will the lock be removed form Anna Nicole Smith's article any time soon? The media hype about her death isn't as big anymore, so there won't be such a flurry of edits as there were on the day they found her body. Half the people I know forgot that she died in the first place. 212.139.222.62

Since the vandalism has died down a lot, I think it will be removed at some stage. I'll ask an administrator if unprotection should be requested. Acalamari 19:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

RE: Anna Nicole Smith Unprotection.

The expiry time for the protection is currently set to never. By now I would have opted to unprotect it but if you look at the history even established users (those registered for more than 4 days or more) are still vandalizing it. May need another few weeks or so. If however, the vandalism starts to really cool off for at least 3-4 days, I'll consider unprotecting it.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 19:22, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for your response. I'm keeping an eye on the article anyway. It's in my watchlist. Acalamari 21:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

With Love (song) and quotation marks

Regarding With Love (song): Please only include punctuation marks inside quotation marks if they are part of the quote. For example, there is a period in the original Billboard review that is quoted in the article, but there isn't one in "Spankin' New Music Week", so the punctuation should come outside the quotation marks. For more information, see WP:MOS#Quotation_marks. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 21:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, my mistake. I should have paid more attention. Acalamari 21:11, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey, no need to apologise :). Extraordinary Machine 21:19, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

LAX

Glad to help, you're a good editor. Feel free to ask, anytime you have an article you're personally interested in. Do feel free to add back some of the details I've deleted, though. I can't tell if one article I looked at copied from Wikipedia or Wikipedia copied from it. To be on the safe side of copyvios (none), I've deleted quite a bit. I also edited Briana Carr's article. KP Botany 20:30, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

PS Acalamari has over two syllables, how could you possible expect anyone to spell it correctly?

• You did a great job! Thanks! I thinking about removing the information you removed, so I'm not going to put it back in. I will, however, remove that information about Destiny's Child that was already there. I don't see how that's relevant to the article at the moment. As for my name, it's not as though people have to actually say it: they just have to look carefully at the name. :) Acalamari 20:38, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Rosemary2003

Hi Acalamari --

Please don't goad Rosemary on with further responses or conflict. Looking at her edit history, she appears to only here to troll, and giving her attention is the response she's looking for. She has received her civility warnings, and if she continues to make personal attacks she can be reported at WP:ANI. Thanks! ~CS 17:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

After that message I posted, I was going to stop anyway. I want to watch and see what happens next. I consider this to be another lesson. Acalamari 17:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but you have to understand you are an avid troll feeder. Stop giving people the negative attention they seek and they will go away. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 21:49, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Knowing nothing about the school in question, I'm just wondering whether there is any truth behind the rants about that school? Or is it just belligerence? Wahkeenah 21:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I couldn't respond earlier; there were power outages were I live, which is why I haven't edited much recently. To Mr. ChrisGriswold: I don't keep responding to trolls. I gave Rosemary2003 a warning after they left a threatening message on your talk page: I wasn't going to revert your talk page again. To Wahkeenah: what school are you talking about? Acalamari 02:43, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Something about an academy in Pittsburgh. Maybe I'm getting my stories mixed up here. Too many pages on my watch list. :\ Wahkeenah 02:48, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah, you mean Shady Side Academy. Acalamari 02:52, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

That would be the one. Either that user is a random vandal, or has a serious personal axe to grind against that school, or both. Wahkeenah 03:21, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject banners

How would you feel about an option like this one: User:Kirill Lokshin/Sandbox/Template14? -- Ned Scott 22:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean? I don't quite understand what you're getting at. Do you mean that the templates are all in a show/hide box? Acalamari 02:40, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

User Name

I've typed my user name wrong. Is there any way I can change it, other than creating another account? By the way, i'm the anomynous who you kept suggesting should get an account. :) Now I've got one. WITH THE WRONG NAME!!! :( Nukleoptra 18:40, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations on getting a username! In answer to your question, go to WP:CHU for more information. However, since you are a very new user, you might be told to create a new account since your current account has very few edits. Acalamari 18:53, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Nukleoptra username change

In response to your question, I was looking under recent changes for usertalks because of an outbreak of vandalism I saw a little while ago. I noticed his question while checking it out for vandalism and desided that I could answer the question while I was there. Sorry for the inconvienece if there was any. Shotmenot 19:03, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Inconvenience? No! I was just asking, that was all. You caused no inconvenience at all! :) Acalamari 19:05, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Haha well that is good to hear. Happy wiki'ing and maybe we will cross again. Shotmenot 19:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

How to Add Userboxes

Help? Nukleoptra 19:14, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Go to this page: Wikipedia:Userboxes. Acalamari 19:18, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm confused. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nukleoptra (talk • contribs) 19:46, 26 February 2007 (UTC).

How are you confused? Acalamari 19:49, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

The article is wayy long and I tried to do a userbox and it didn't work. Also, I had a 'this user is english' userbox but it's disappeared.

Go to the gallery section of the article. There are userbox collections there. Acalamari 20:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Look at my user page... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nukleoptra (talk • contribs) 20:30, 26 February 2007 (UTC).

Looks good. I'm glad you were able to work out how to add userboxes. Acalamari 21:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Userpage vandalism

My original message: Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my user page. :) Acalamari 03:36, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians who are Gemini

I've speedy deleted a category you created, Category:Wikipedians who are Gemini, as recreation of deleted material per this discussion that ended in a consensus to merge all these types of categories to Category:Wikipedians interested in astrology. If you have any questions feel free to ask them on my talk page. Thanks for understanding! VegaDark 07:47, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about creating the category, I was unaware of that discussion. I created the category because I thought I was being helpful in removing a redlink. Thanks for removing it. Acalamari 16:09, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

RE: New userbox.

Hey there Acalamari! Not so sure it will make it as a userbox in Template space. Why not try implementing it in User space. For example you can create the template on User:Acalamari/Awards giver and implement it like a template by typing {{User:Acalamari/Awards giver}}. Lots of user boxes work that way now adays due to many of them not directly relating to Wikipedia. Hope this helps.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 00:36, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

• I don't quite understand what you mean. Also, I can't create any more subpages, for I thought that users are only allowed two. I have an awards subpage and my archives. Acalamari 00:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

You are allowed more than two silly :P. I'll show you a trick. I can post all my userboxes for you by typing the following code {{User:Persian Poet Gal/userboxes}}:

The same applies to your userbox. Simply create a new subpage and you can implement the box that way.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 00:40, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

There is no hard limit on subpages. I have several subpages. ^HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 00:41, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Let me try something then. Acalamari 00:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I went ahead and pasted the box now type {{User:Acalamari/Awards giver}} on any page you like!¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 00:49, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I will put it on my userpage. I hope I wasn't an inconvenience for you. I don't have much experience with subpages. Acalamari 00:50, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Please, help me with the page about Cicero

Hi, Acalamari! I edited this morning the text on the lead part of the article about Cicero, and I was pretty satisfied with it. But after I had pressed the save button, the new text did not appear in the article proper!! Could you please visit the site and find out, what is the matter? Regards, --Tellervo 10:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I have myself found out what went wrong, - a reference tag! So, you need not bother.

Regards --Tellervo 14:08, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry I wasn't any help to you. At the times your posted your messages to my talk page, 10:07 UTC and 14:08 UTC, I would have been asleep. As for your problem, I checked the histroy of the Cicero page, and as you said, it was to do with a reference. Don't worry, I had to learn to make sure I made references correctly. Again, I am sorry I wasn't able to help. Acalamari 16:24, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the Barnstar!

Awwww, thanks! That's a very nice gesture and the poetry wasn't all that bad ;)...¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 17:12, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. I felt that I should at least try to do something like that for you. After all, you've helped me more than I've helped you. Acalamari 17:13, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Virus

Since getting an account on Wikipedia, my computer has caught around 130 trojan horse viruses!!! What the... Coincidence or what? Anoying coincidence, if that's what it is. Nukleoptra 17:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I would have to say it's a coincidence. I've only found the one virus on Wikipedia. If there were more viruses, I'd know about them. Having an account does not make you more prone to catching viruses. Don't you have any anti-virus software and/or a firewall? Acalamari 17:20, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, today I only got 12. Nukleoptra 16:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

If the only page you've been visiting is Wikipedia, then it makes sense the viruses would come from here, but if you've been to other sites, they get thrown into the equation. Again, don't you have any anti-virus software? Acalamari 16:28, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I wrote that I had anti-virus software amongst other stuff in a post but my computer froze before I could click on 'save'. We have AVG free edition. Nukleoptra 16:32, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

AVG is a good anti-virus. My family and I use the most updated version. Acalamari 16:33, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

mine was the the most updated version until approximately 4 minutes ago, when it alerted me at the email scanner is not fully functional... we haven't even got an email account ha becuase the viruses have been occupying our time. Nukleoptra 16:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

AVG is not the most trusted anti-virus around because I seemed to get more virus with AVG than without it but by far the most trusted anti-viruses around I think is Norton and/or E-trust although McAfee also gets the job done. The best thing to do is to turn on the Firewall in your computer and enable Pop-up blocker..--Cometstyles 16:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, we went with AVG because we didn't trust Norton and McAfee. We did have E-trust for a while, but then it kept registering viruses that weren't there. As for firewalls, we don't use the Windows one. In fact, the Windows one itself does say that it's only a basic one, and a better type should be installed. However, I am not endorsing any type of software with this message. I, like Wikipedia, am not an advertising host. As long as we have a good firewall and a good anti-virus program, we should all be okay. Acalamari 18:59, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for reverting the vandalism on my userpage, much appreciated. Tra (Talk) 01:06, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, I don't really want to "edit constructively", mainly because this site is really really stupid, we had to do it as a project and I found the Wikipedos really irritating "please don't ruin our encyclopedia that noone reads and we edit coz we have no lives or jobs etc..." so I thought I'd mess around whilst kind of drunk and irritate you wierdo nerds :D :D, now please, you're 16, so am I, I go out drink and have sex most nights, you sit here and type in notes about pokemon and star trek, get over it!! go get a girl!! now I need to go and get on with being a WIKIPEDIAN!

Vandal counter

No problem. I've been so busy it didn't even occur to me to update it. Thanks! Natalie 22:35, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

The user that vandalized your user page also vandalized mine, and you would have seen the message they left on my talk page. I have to update my vandal counter now. Acalamari 23:16, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: User.

Huh, not sure what to make of that one. Reviewed for now, since we have no way of confirming whether that actually is the person's parent (or, indeed, if they have a parent), and the autoblock could be holding back a few socks. Just my thought. – Luna Santin (talk) 00:41, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, I decided to review one of their requests for unblock. I declined it after all the edits they'd done, including vandalism to my user page. Acalamari 00:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I assure you, my name is not John Kelly, he is a hurling player that plays on the Dublin county team? Isnt that worthy of starting an article which I will continue to add to over time. BaileÁthaCliathAbú 00:54 03 March 2007

I am not the only one tagging the article you've created. Other users don't consider your articles to be notable either. Maybe if you had some sources, then the pages could be allowed. Don't get the impression that we think you're a vandal: you have good intentions. Acalamari 01:01, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

Hey, no one has ever vandalized my user page--does this mean you're more popular than me? I bet it does. Or else it means you spend time in pop culture articles--it happens there, because some users are overly personally invested in their idol worship. Don't take it personally, even if you are enjoying the vandal count. And thanks for taking time in this area, as it's nice to know that a responsible and capable editor is monitoring what's going on in these heavily edited and frequently vandalized articles. Cheers, KP Botany 23:08, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your compliments. My user page seems to be going through a vandalism wave at the moment, as it's been hit almost daily. It wouldn't be quite so bad if it was clever vandalism as opposed to insults. However, most vandals don't think that way. Acalamari 23:12, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh please! If you ever meet a clever, interesting or original vandal, alert me. Heck, if you come in contact with one who doesn't sound like a petulent 7-year-old, tell me all about it. I won't be waiting. Cheers, KP Botany 23:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

You're right: "clever vandalism" is an oxymoron. Acalamari 23:17, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem. I hope that the editor that vandalized your page will go on and become a constructive, good-faith contributor, but hope is all I have regarding this. To quote the oft-repeated phrase: you must be doing something right if your user page is vandalized :) Gracenotes^T § 03:18, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Dang, this makes Acalamari even more special than me--nobody has ever protected my user page (or vandalized it). Suddenly, I feel boring! I must not be doing anything right because I've never had my user page vandalized.

Acalamari, if you have any time to do some reading, can you add to this article Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng? There are a couple of references added to the article, but they need to have some text from them incorporated into the article, and I am way too busy right now. The doctor is rather interesting. I worked with a Kenyan doctor briefly who talked about this guy who was Ghana's first and only heart surgeon. It's interesting because in most of Sub-Saharan Africa, possibly excepting Kenya, the rich go to Europea for medical treatment--even in Kenya Europeans buy special medical insurance that pays for and provides medivacuation to Europe, or maybe the Middle East, in case of emergency. In Ghana primary care for malaria, river blindness and AIDS is hard enough for most people, but this guy is a world-class cardiac surgeon practicing in his native land. The editor who started it has been a bit of a pest adding commercial links to other articles (ethnobotanical plants), but the links in this article are good references and the doctor is rather fascinating and deserves a delete-proof article. I did add the proper categories. Cheers. KP Botany 03:24, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure, I'll take a look at that page. I'll try to do some work to it over the next few days for you, after all, you helped me with the LAX (group) article. I would do a bunch of work on it tomorrow, but I am on Dial-Up until Monday, so my edits are somewhat restricted. Acalamari 04:08, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

• I haven't added any things yet, but I did change the sections around a bit. The "media" section became "external links." I will do more. Acalamari 04:14, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, yeah, I'm totally lousy at all the details. Take your time, though, and wait for high-speed. The guy could have a rather well-written article about him eventually. KP Botany 05:24, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:RFCN

Acalamari- please remember to put {{subst:UsernameDiscussion}} on the user's talk page next time you bring up a username to WP:RFCN. It is just commmon courtesy to tell the user in question that his or her username is up for review. Borisblue 12:30, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Which user was this? I thought I gave a tag. Acalamari 16:30, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I was referring to User_talk:MOHAMMAD_NO. Borisblue 16:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Argh. Sorry about that. Acalamari 16:36, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Pschemp

Hey Acalamari, I just saw your comment on Pschemp's talk page. I'm not leaving...I've just had a break and I changed my username to User:Sarah. Thanks fot thinking of me, though. This morning is the first time I've edited for a couple of weeks. :) Sarah 20:12, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello Sarah! I'm glad you came back! I know you hadn't totally left (which was why I did say that on Pschemp's talk page that you had left "for the moment.") Let me be the first to say: "Welcome back!" Acalamari 20:15, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Yum! Thanks, I love chocolate chip cookies! Thanks for the welcome back. :) Sarah 20:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:RFCN

Hi Acalmari. Please read WP:U. In future, any entires made to WP:RFCN reporting user names where the guidelines are not followed will be removed. You made no attempt to ask the user to change his name, instead going straight to RFC. This is not fair to the user, please don't do it again. Neil (not Proto ►) 16:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I did tell the user. I was told to use the tags. What guideline am I not following now? Acalamari 16:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I belive that he may have made a mistake (while I am not saying that he did, i have asked him to clarify what you have done wrong). -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 16:30, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Acalamari. You did indeed use tags. But if you read the top of the page, you're asked to ask the user, nicely, if he would mind changing his username. There's even a template for it - {{UsernameConcern}}. You shouldn't just tell them they have to change their name and submit it immediately to RFCN; we always try and be friendly and helpful, especially to the newest editors, who may not be aware what is and is not acceptable, so we ask them to change it, first.

And I'm not picking on you in particular for his - I often just remove the RFCNs if nobody made an effort to ask the user to change their name first. I noticed you did mention Betacommand "getting away with it" - there were plenty of people who asked him to change how he was handling user names, and I was just one of them. Neil (not Proto ►) 17:47, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I understand. Acalamari 17:49, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

It wasn't you

That Alan guy called me a vandal. As I noted, I am withdrawing from the discussion of this issue. I've made my feelings clear. have a good one. Otto4711 17:26, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Listen, I'm sorry if I've been incivil. It wasn't my intention. I hope in the future we can work peacefully. I made a mess of the situation that just happened. I am sorry. Acalamari 17:28, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Watchlist

Nope it seems to be stuck at 5.26 UTC. Something is wrong with their server or maybe one of the Javascripts... --Cometstyles 18:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad this isn't my problem. Mine's stuck at an edit to my talk page at 17:26 UTC. Shall I take this to Wikipedia: Village pump (technical). Acalamari 17:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, the watchlist is slowly updating. Even so, there is still a problem. Acalamari 17:58, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Its working again but I think its back by about 2 Minutes..Weird..--Cometstyles 18:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Its Fine now but check your Special:Contributions because ten minutes of my Edits are missing..--Cometstyles 18:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Strange; I'll report this to the village pump (techncal) for you. Acalamari 18:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Accounts in my name

Take a look at Wikipedia:Request an account. Basically, what's going on is that users who cannot read the captcha when signing up for an account have to use this page, where another user can create the account for them, and e-mail them the password. Those log entries you saw are the accounts that I have created for these people through that process. Tra (Talk) 00:06, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, that's what they were. I didn't know; thanks for clearing that up. Acalamari 00:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Dr. Jonathan Godfrey

I was in the middle of leaving him a message about the RFC when we were edit-conflicted! I thought I'd use my own words not the template, to explain the problem directly, so I left my message after yours. Thanks for your help. Bencherlite 21:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the misunderstanding! :) It's just that I've been told many times to tell the user that I didn't want you to fall into the same thing. Acalamari 21:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

No probs. No offence taken. I've left a message at the RFC to explain myself there as well! Bencherlite 21:52, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Vickie Lynn Hogan

I'm surprised, this article is still getting Spammed? I don't know what to say about this... No wonder the Wiki Defcon Level is at 2... Evilgohan2 22:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it is. It's in my watchlist, and I've been reverting vandalism to it every two days or so. Acalamari 22:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng

Good work. I did some translations into English terminology, added a redirect for House officer on Wikipedia to Residency (medicine)--I'm getting braver creating pages. I don't think there is any worry now about AfD. I'll keep adding as I get the time, let me know when you add something, as you did. KP Botany 04:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks; I haven't been able to do much more than that though; I've been involved with other things. When those are all cleared up I'll come back to the article. Acalamari 04:02, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

a little favor

hi there, I'm Abbopa. I have to ask a little favor of you please. There is a new user named Jimmy's bananooz. He feels lonely, because he only knows one person on Wikipedia, and that is me. Please leave him a message. Thanks so much! Abbopa 04:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

No. Acalamari 04:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. Acalamari 20:06, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Why did you revert my edit to the Michael Richards page?

From Wikipedia:Lead Section: The lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, establishing context, explaining why the subject is interesting or notable, and BRIEFLY DESCRIBING ITS NOTEABLE CONTROVERSIES, if there are any.

As you can see my edit was not vandalism.Hoponpop69 15:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Your edits have also been undone by Bus Stop. It's uneccessary to say the same thing twice about the incident. Anyway, most people are past the incident now. Acalamari 16:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Look at pages like Kobe Bryant, they mention his controversey in the intro, and most people are beyond that. Also if you're saying that we shouldn't mention things twice then you might as well take out the thing about him being on Seinfield in the opening paragraph since that is also mentioned later in the article.Hoponpop69 20:11, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Your edit was not vandalism. Yes, I should have assumed better faith when I removed it, but due to the controverisal nature of the topic, it was better to discuss it first. Acalamari 21:22, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

About the autograph pages

Is there anything wrong with autograph pages? I really don't think so. I KNOW so. But the main problem with this is the huge "sign my book" on users' signatures, and the spamming of talk pages. THAT is the REAL problem, right? If it is, then just make a rule on the Wikipedia:Signatures page that no one can include disruptive links to their signature pages, if they have any. Would that solve the problem? Please respond, and please do not delete the autograph pages themselves. Many, many users have worked hard on them, especially AxG. A•N•N•Afoxlover 00:17, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I personally don't think the autograph pages are appropriate for Wikipedia; but I only speak for one user: myself. If I was administrator, I would not delete any of the autograph pages, including yours. There are two reasons why I wouldn't delete them: 1: I would be seriously questioned for such an action; and two: I'm not going to root through millions of users just to find autograph pages. Anyway, from what I've seen, you have nothing to worry about with your autograph page: the MFD will likely close as no consensus or allow; meaning that your signatures, and everyone else's, will remain intact. I agree with you about removing the "sign my book" link on some users' signatures if the books remain; we can do without links to user subpages in signatures. By the way, I also wish to apologize if I've been hostile to you in any way over this entire incident. Acalamari 00:27, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Not really. But I would like you to post what we've discussed on the MfD entry. I would also like to know if we can make the main point of the discussion on NOT PUTTING A DISRUPTIVE LINK TO YOUR AUTOGRAPH PAGE ON YOUR SIGNATURE. Can we do that? And should I ask the users who have these disruptive links on their signatures to remove them from their signatures? Please respond. Thanks - A•N•N•Afoxlover 00:55, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

The content of my user talk page does not belong on the MfD. If other users want to see what we've discussed, they can come here. As for changing the main point of the MfD; that cannot be done. The main point of the MfD is to discuss whether the autograph books should be deleted or not; it isn't about actual signatures. As for users who have the links in their signatures; you don't have to tell them anything: they will be informed if a new policy comes along that says that users cannot have links to their subpages in their signatures. :) Acalamari 01:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Then, what do we do, when hundreds of autograph pages are in danger right now? We need to do something. Should someone ask some users to engage in this discussion? What should we do? I want to save the autograph pages, get rid of the spamming, and no more disruptive links in the signatures? What can we do NOW? A•N•N•Afoxlover 01:07, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Asking users to engage in the MFD discussion would be considered spamming. You say you want to get rid of spamming, but if you or I went to the talk pages of all the users with autograph books asking them to participate, that would be spamming. As for saving the autograph books, you can do that if you want; but remember: Wikipedia is not just about autograph pages. I learned early on that Wikipedia isn't just about user and user talk pages; we're here to improve the encyclopedia, not to make lots of autograph pages. Acalamari 02:45, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

But how do I save the pages, get rid of the spamming, and ban the disruptive signatures? A•N•N•Afoxlover 15:14, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean by "save the pages"? The fate of the page is being decided at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Autograph books. As for spamming, as far as I know, you're the only user to ask well over a hundred user to sign a signature book. As for the signatures...a new policy would have to be suggested to eliminate the fancy spamming signatures. I could suggest the policy myself, but I am busy with suggesting another policy at the moment. Acalamari 20:11, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I've quit spamming talk pages. Don't worry. Anyway, I guess I'll try to presuade people not to delete the pages, if I can. Thanks for the advice you have given me. Bye! ;-) A•N•N•Afoxlover 03:41, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, I hadn't done anything to the article until a few hours ago. Even so, I am pleased that an article I worked on early in it's creation has now become a good article. :) Acalamari 03:45, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Rfa thanks

Hey Acalamari, cheers for the support in my Rfa, I'm so honoured to be an administrator, it just shows that friends like you stick by you. No doubt we'll be seeing you up at Rfa before too long! Thanks again and no doubt I'll see you at WP:RFCN again soon! Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 21:37, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. As for my own RfA, that probably won't happen for another month or two, depending on what happens. I've got about 3900 edits at the moment, and I won't attempt adminship until I'm at a figure of at least 5000 edits. Also, I want to get more mainspace edits (I have about 1650 I think), and more experience on Wikipedia-pages. As for RFC, I'll be there; I just won't be reporting as many user names as I used to, but I'll still give input for other users who report names there. Acalamari 21:43, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

3900 is enough edits for RfA and if you ever think about applying..tell me cause I want to be the first to support you. We need new good admins like Ryanpostlethwaite and you are my top bet..Cheers..--Cometstyles 13:05, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I thank you for your support, but I'd like to wait a bit. Adminship isn't just about edits, and there are some things I want to work on first. Acalamari 16:23, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure I'll take a look. I'm glad I removed the listing; I looked at your user page, saw what anti-vandalism things you were part of; checked your contributions, and saw that you weren't a vandal at all. Acalamari 23:26, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:RFCN

Acalamari, your a great user to WP:RFCN and no-one is assuming bad faith at all, its just best not to report anything that could possibly be seen as dubious to AIV. You better keep reporting those usernames, most of your nominations go the way you suggested, and the ones that don't - it doesn't matter because its easily sorted. This is no way going to go against you at Rfa, it shows you care about wikipedia and want to do well for the project. Disregarding your nominations completely, your response to other nominations is excellent, and your a very thorough editor when it comes to looking at username. Don't let this dishearten you mate, everyone knows your doing a great job Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 23:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the comforting reply. I just thought that in an RfA, users would review my contributions to RFCN, and worry that I would block innocent users (which, I wouldn't do; administrator or not: I would still request comment on names). Acalamari 23:56, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Not at all, you really don't need to worry about that, I mean, I nominated the admin User:Kontstable for their username 6 weeks ago - and I passed Rfa!! Your excellent contributions to other areas are going to be looked at anyway. I know you wouldn't block innocent users, you'd report to WP:RFCN if there was any doubt - and other users know that as well Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 00:01, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I'll do that; and thanks for the compliment! Acalamari 23:43, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem. IrishGuy ^talk 23:52, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Those were not Spam Links!

Hi

Those links were not advertisements. They have been apart of the Charlotte NC entry for a long time.

None of them go to sites where you can buy anything. They are all useful and relevant information that expand on topics not covered in the entry. Many are public utility sites that are FREE!

I live here, and KNOW THIS. YOU DO NOT!

Do not edit cities you know nothing about. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.172.118.10 (talk) 01:04, 15 March 2007 (UTC).

ANNAfox

Hey, Acalamari, I saw your name next to a quote that she had on her user page.. "Don't put anything on Jimbo's talk page. Acalamari" And, I looked on the talk page, and you NEVER said that, you merely said to only use Mr. Wales' talk page in only some occasions.. I wanted to bring this to you first, and you can choose to bring it up to Anna if you wish.. By the way, your actual quote: "It's best to only use Mr. Jimbo Wales' talk page in special circumstances. The first time I posted to his talk page was close to a month ago when I asked about a reporter. I thought the situation required his attention, as it was to do with the press; Mr. Wales quickly and calmly resolved the situation for me. You see, his talk page should really only be used for very unusual, or immensely large events. Acalamari 00:53, 10 March 2007 (UTC)" If you need to reach me, please reply on my talk page :) . Have a nice day! Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 01:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me. I'm going to ask her about this; I gave her advice, and she does that. Did you read the discussion she and I had here? That's the advice I gave her. Acalamari 01:43, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, oops, no, I did not see that.. I did read it just now though.. Anyway, when you bring it up to her, may I suggest you bring into debate the other quotes she has on her userpage, those could be 'mis-interpreted' as well (trying to assume good faith).. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 01:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Alison's RfA

Oh okay, thanks for letting me know. I know there was no bad faith on your behalf, there was absolutely no doubt in my mind about that whatsoever. I just meant that was how it could seem, especially from the POV of the person being quized, but I know 100% you were both acting in good faith. Cheers, Sarah 15:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

for reverting vandalism on my userpage! Natalie 18:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome; when I went to your userpage I saw something that I knew you wouldn't write, so I looked at the history and saw I saw correct; so I reverted it. :) Acalamari 18:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I Hate Autoblocks...Who Got Me Autoblocked Now?

Try now? – Luna Santin (talk) 01:51, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, Luna Santin; I can edit now. Acalamari 01:53, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Good. :) – Luna Santin (talk) 01:54, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, drat, Luna, you should have waited so we could have picked on a voiceless Acalamari for a while. KP Botany 01:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

No thanks. :) I had been autoblocked for half an hour before Luna Santin unblocked me. Acalamari 01:57, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Admin Question.

If we're looking at things from a technical standpoint, then yes, I believe they could -- admins can unblock themselves. But, from a policy standpoint, doing so is widely frowned upon and can lead to an instant desysopping depending on circumstances. x.x – Luna Santin (talk) 02:58, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I can understand if an admin unblocked themselves if another admin had blocked them; they'd be in big trouble; but I thought it would be okay to un-autoblock themselves. Obviously not. Acalamari 03:01, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Not sure, to be honest. ;) If I recall, it hasn't been specifically addressed anywhere; personally, I'd probably ask somebody else to take care of it for me, just to be on the safe side. – Luna Santin (talk) 03:03, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: All The Unblocks.

Glad to be of service, as always. Wish I could be a little quicker, sometimes, but I check about as often as life and work allow. – Luna Santin (talk) 19:39, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

YT

No problem. People are running bots these days to remove YouTube links as well, hehe, apparently it's slightly controversial, :\. Matthew

Trolling

I am not a troll. Please choose your words more judiciously.

Thank you. 141.154.51.166 20:40, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Then you should have posted your message at the bottom of the talk page. Also, you wrote about "rumors", and Wikipedia is not the place for rumors. Your should have chosen better words in your message. For example, when you said that the girls of Prussian Blue (duo) "like it straight up the shit chute"; the words should have been "they like anal sex." Your message looked like trolling.

Thanks for reviewing me! I'll be sure to put to good use what you've taught me. --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 00:19, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
