Thanks

Thank you for reverting the vandalism on my talk page. IrishGuy ^talk 00:24, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Anti-Colbert sentiment is not appropriate

Wikipedia needs to take into account popular culture. It is ignorant for you to delete any entry without fully considering its validity just because the source of it happens to be someone like Steven Colbert. Steven Colbert is a great man and brilliant thinker. Plus, his wife is hotter than the cyber chick you masturbate to every 16 minutes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.162.136.179 (talk) 02:02, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

My RfA

• Thanks for the support position. However, I've decided to withdraw my acceptance because of real WP:CIVIL concerns. I will try again later when I've proven to myself and others that my anger will no longer interfere with my abilities as a Wikipedia editor. Thanks again, and I'll see you around here shortly. :) JuJube 04:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for your support in my recent successful RfA. --Anthony.bradbury 14:05, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I have semi-protected your user page...

...for a couple days and blocked that last vandalizing account. Let me know if you want it unprotected before a couple days. —Wknight94 (talk) 20:40, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Re:Your signature is broken

It's not broken, I'm just using the easy, "fake wikilink" signature, popular a while back. --[[User:Pie Man 360 | UserPage Talk about me!]] 21:35, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for fixing up my user page. I have no idea why I got hit with that.... --Wafulz 22:03, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Infact...

This is a school computer. I apologise for anything my idiotic siblings may do. --Digipatd —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.177.47.40 (talk) 14:55, 2 April 2007 (UTC).

You have a fan...

Not sure where this came from... [1]. -- Gogo Dodo 21:21, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

It's some guy from Toronto who has been trolling me and Meaneager. —dgies^t_c 21:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

For getting rid of that ASCII art on my page. --Wwwyzzerdd 22:13, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thank you for your Support on my recent nomination for adminship, which passed with a final tally of 89/1/1. If there's anything I can help with, then you know where to find me. Cheers. - Michael Billington (talk) 06:50, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

RFA

Hey Dgies, good to know you've finally decided to take the plunge. I'll write you a nom right after lunch. :-) See ya shortly. --Húsönd 12:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

It's done! :-) Don't forget to change the Scheduled-to-end-date before launching it, and please let me know when you do so that I may support before getting too beaten. ;-) Good luck! Best regards, Húsönd 14:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I'd err on the side of the user, maybe a 1 day block will get him to change. Many admins started out as "vandal-only" accounts. Yes your attitude complies with policy, but I feel it's too extreme. Jeff Defender 17:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

With all due respect...

I brought up your first edit to my RfA to show how I think you found Cremepuff's pages. Xiner (talk) 18:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Dgies, I never once questioned your motives in posting my edit details. Xiner (talk) 18:41, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I merged the votes.

Himno de Cantabria

Yes, I made the translation. I know it´s very literal, in fact as you can see I wrote in the edition page this note: !--Correct translation?--. That´s all I can make with my low level of english and over all my scarce knowledge of english poetic resources. Feel free to introduce changes.--Uhanu 18:10, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for reword my translation, obviously it seems more natural now. On the other hand, of course I´m up to date with the article Cantabria/Translation, thank you for the note :).--Uhanu 23:29, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Reply to Speedy deletion tagging of Justice league episodes

I see you have tagged many redirects from titles of Justice League episodes with the deletion reason "Just because it's the name of a Justice League episode should not mean that it should redirect there". This does not appear to reflect any of the speedy deletion criteria. Please don't use speedy deletion tags for things you simply think are bad. If you really think these should all be deleted, you may list them at WP:RFD, but I should mention it is common to keep redirects like these to help people find the closest-related article currently available. Thanks. —dgies^t_c 05:36, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Reply: ok, then what about reedirects like The Terror Beyond, In Blackest Night, Injustice For All, and other redirects like that, I don't think they should redirect here, because another page about those topics could be written, so do you think those redirects should be keptGman124 17:15, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Those specific cases have a stronger justification for deletion because they have more generic titles, but it's still not a speedy deletion criteria. They should be listed at WP:RFD if you want them gone. You may with to read WP:CSD a bit to see what qualifies for speedy deletion. —dgies^t_c 17:18, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I added them at RFD, and i have a question, there I found the tag {{db-redirtypo}}, so can't i use that to speedy delete the articles Gman124 17:51, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

No, because these are not typo redirects, they are related topic redirects, which need to be debated. A redirect like "Listt of justic leege spisodes" would be a good candidate for that tag. —dgies^t_c 18:00, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thank for the help Gman124 18:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gman124 (talk • contribs) 18:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC).

Hey

Thanks for helping with Steptrip's coach. :-) It's a fact that you have some very good material on your admin coach subpage. By the way, your RFA seems to be going (unsurprisingly) very well. Way to go! Best regards, Húsönd 01:42, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Non-notable birthday warnings

Yeah I pointed it out on IRC. It's just a copy of Gurch's text not a template I'm afraid. Also, as he pointed out, I don't think the manual of style is right and I can't find a correct one (if it exists) yet. I'd support someone making a template for it though! Will (aka Wimt) 18:35, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I've tried making a template that might do the job at User:Wimt/nn-birthday if you're interested. Regards. Will (aka Wimt) 18:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

re:rfa

sorry, but my english is not very good, I change my vote in support, sorry  :( --dario vet (talk) 15:02, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Your RfA

Hi, I noticed your RfA is ending within the next hour and half (in GMT time?? - what am I talking about) and It seems to be going well and I have no doubts that you will be given the tools, so I'd just like to wish you the best of luck and Happy editing.Tellyaddict 13:38, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations!

Wield me! Wield me!

Congratulations on becoming an admin, Dgies. Use you tools wisely. Enjoy! :-) Festive regards, Húsönd 16:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

• Well done indeed!! - Alison^☺ 16:25, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Well done and good luck! The Rambling Man 16:26, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, indeed. First RfA I've ever been the first to vote on. :-) I'm sure you'll do a great job. Do be sure to kick some vandal butt for me. Heimstern Läufer 18:09, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Congrats! I'm very happy to see you get the mop, and I know you'll do great things. Good luck! *Vendetta* _{(whois talk edits)} 18:33, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

General thanks

Thank you to everyone who supported my request for adminship, which passed with a final tally of (75/1/1). If you ever need a hand, drop me a line. —dgiestc 21:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

re: rfa candidate

Alright, I'll keep an eye on him.--Wizardman 18:29, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! :-)

Thank you so much for the sandwich! It was a very kind gesture of yours. I'll be honored to co-coach a to-be-admin with you in the near future. "Co-coach" sounds funny btw. Best regards (and once again congrats), Húsönd 00:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations on passing your RFA! Thank you for the sandwich. I'm enjoying it. :P I am looking forward to do admin coaching with you one day, we shall see how things go first. If you didn't know why wasn't I editing the past few days, it was because I was in a place far from 21st century civilisation. See you around on IRC or here.

Eleven Burial Masses

Hey - I recently noticed you removed the Speedy tag that I placed on the above article. As professional as the article may be written, it is indeed nonsense, and is a copy of Live Bait for the Dead, if you look at the track listing. The article will inevitably be deleted in the future anyway, so a speedy deletion would be the quickest and the least hassle. Thanks ≈ The Haunted Angel 17:22, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Huh. I based it on the Amazon sales page for it, as well as other vendor sites. Is this some sort of DVD re-release? If so, it should be replaced with a redirect to Live Bait for the Dead, not deleted. —dgies^t_c 17:25, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, it seems that what Amazon is selling there is Heavy, Left-Handed and Candid under a different name - if you check that article (Heavy, Left-Handed and Candid is the DVD, and Live Bait for the Dead is the CD) you'll see it is divided into two sections. The live concert on disc one is called "Eleven Burial Masses", which is also the CD Live Bait. There isn't gonna' be another Cradle release (The Cradle website makes no mention of a new release) under that name, as that concert has already been released twice, once as the CD, and once as the DVD. ≈ The Haunted Angel 17:33, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Steel359/Salt

Anything I can help with? – Steel 19:08, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Was testing the use of Twinkle for salting, not sure why it modified that page. Any suggestions? —dgies^t_c 19:09, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Transcluding an article onto that page prevents creation, have you seen [WP:PT]]? – Steel 19:16, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

My request for speedy delete

Hi. The user created the page while trying to contact me on my talk page. I've moved his comments to my talk page and informed him of the move and gave him a link to my actual talk page. If you could please delete the subpage, that would be great. Thank you Darry2385 01:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind. The page has been deleted. Darry2385 01:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I deleted it. I got confused for a second because the only contributer was not the person who tagged for deletion, but then I realized it was in your user subspace... —dgies^t_c 01:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Thank you

[Copied from my talk page, on the assumption you're a bit busy with the new bucket. Congrats.] Thank you right back!  :-) PS: Any criticism in your RfA was intended only and absolutely constructively. I'm sure you'll make a fine admin around here. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 20:58, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

You're a sysop!

Hi, Dgies/Archive 3, Congratulations on Becoming a Sysop!

Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, block anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on articles for deletion for more than 5 days (provided there's a consensus), protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.

Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»=
 PS Please add you name to WP:LA!

=Nichalp «Talk»= 16:21, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Congrats...--Cometstyles 16:22, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

A late, but better late than never, I hope, congratulations from me too. You have shown excellent judgement to be an administrator.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 05:36, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Template

thanks for your help moving my template to the personal space... 1013-josh 17:23, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Archive_3, thank you very much for your support in my successful RfA. I am thankful and humbled by the trust that the community has placed in me, and I welcome any comments, questions or complaints that you may have. Again, thank you for your support, and happy editing! Hemlock Martinis 22:39, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Personal attacks

Hi Dgies, I think that it may be a good idea to extend the block to indefinate, for this IP you blocked, because of continued vile personal attacks on talk page, and it appears that no constuctive contributions came from this IP. Do you plan to give the IP more warnings first, assuming good faith that they will stop?--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 23:49, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

As a rule, IPs are not indefinitely blocked because they may be shared by multiple people or reassigned to innocent users. This IP only had a single day of attacks so for now I'll treat it as a one-time occurrence. If they continue after the block expires, they will warrant a longer block. —dgies^t_c 23:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

OK. I have another illrelevant question. If a talk page of an permanetely blocked user is fully protected, as oppose to semi-protected, but then an administrator deletes the talk page, would that blocked user still be unable to edit their talk page, by creating it again, or would they still be unable to edit their "deleted talk page", being a "blocked user".--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 01:35, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Page deletion removes and existing protection, so it would be unprotected. It would only still be protected if it was transcluded onto another page with cascading protection enabled. For more information, see WP:SALT. —dgies^t_c 02:15, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
