Adoption
Hello there! I'm Chris, and I saw you on the WP:AAU Adoptee's area page with the message "Currently full (Check with me)" so I decided to check with you. Are you currently adopting? Thank you for your time. Chrishy23:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I currently have five other user already. I would really love to adopt you and show you the ropes but I really don't think I could keep up with another user. I hope you find another good and willing experienced user to adopt you. ·Add§hore·Talk/Cont23:13, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I'm about to go offline, so I wanted, without putting the commentator's curse on it, to congratulate you in advance on a successful RfA. Well done and put that mop to good use. I think you'll be a valuable addition to the admin ranks. --Dweller (talk) 16:30, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Congratulations! My talk page is always open if you have questions, and you'll probably have many. If you're afraid it's a stupid question, you can email me or pm me in IRC. :D لennavecia20:04, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Belated congrats. Now with trusted burrito in hand, you will be able to clean up vandalism, while munching your tasty mop. Or something like that. Congrats again. PhilKnight (talk) 22:35, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Old'n'busted: mops. New hotness: Übercleaners. I'm getting sick and tired of these ancient, technophobic admins and their old'n'busted mops, handing them down to new admins. In a world of increasing vandalism and the need for ever-watchful admins, I present to you, The New Hotness: The Übercleaner 9000™. Influenced by the BFG 9000, the Übercleaner 9000™ boasts top-notch wiki cleaning abilities, ranging from spam deletion to vandal blocking.
Congratulations Addshoe. I had no idea you even had an RfA. I would have supported you if I had seen it, but it looks like you didn't even need it! Nice going. Happy adminning. Non Curat Lex (talk) 00:03, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well done - just don't conflict me on anything, especially history merges, because it gets annoying when other people try and do the same thing at the same time, and you don't get conflict notices if you time it right! :P Anyway, time for me to stop complaining/moaning/etc. and do something constructive. Just be careful: you don't want to end up in the village stocks ;) Stwalkerster [ talk ]18:36, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Lol thanks for that Stwalkerster =]. You've now started me off on a random tour around more of the wikipedia name space starting with the STOCKS :P Thanks! ·Add§hore·Talk/Cont19:17, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I just noticed that I hadn't been listed as completing the Wikimarkup section. My apologies, I thought I'd listed my sandbox here for you to peruse. I put in a whole bunch of "junk" and various things from different pages that I've done so far. :) Also, I added a new hilarious knock knock joke a couple sections above this post to congragulate you on your successful RfA. ;) Banaticus (talk) 05:59, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the thanks :). I don't know if I missed it or what. The good thing is that you passed that section and I will go an update it now :). Thanks continuing your adoption! ·Add§hore·Talk/Cont07:25, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
go carefully, and you will have my support in what you do. Some people I've had doubs about have made very good admins, & I assume you will be one of them. DGG (talk) 17:28, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! :P. It would be really nice if I could make my blocking quick warn script work =[. I am currently hating my monobook. Do you use a script to warn users after you have blocked them? ·Add§hore·Talk/Cont20:30, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I usually block people using the MediaWiki Special:BlockIP and then warn them with Xenocidic's modified twinklewarn.js script, which makes the block options show up by default rather than the level 1 warnings. I also removed the ARV module, since I don't ever report people any more. J.delanoygabsadds20:45, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
User:Xenocidic/twinklewarn.js. Here's the Twinkle modules that I use, the others don't seem to be useful to me. I have the bottom one commented out because I don't typically use it, but it is useful for cleaning up after page-move vandalism if no one has one of their Grawp-detection scripts running at the moment, and it is easier to just uncomment it than to try to remember what it is called.

Hi, I and one of my fellow editors are facing a deadlock on a issue of bias on a controversial topic Operation Blue Star, the summary of dispute can be found at [1], please let us know your views so that we can solve the dispute amicably. Thanks LegalEagle (talk) 02:54, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A block of yours
[2]. The block should be much, much longer than 24 hours. The user was blocked for one year in October 2007 and obviously nothing has changed as seen from the recent edits. Enigmamessage18:57, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if that was the reason for the block it should have 1) been softblocked (as MBisanz said) and 2) it should have been specified it the block entry. Really though, no harm done. Tiptoetytalk03:33, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The reason that I blocked that IP for a week was that they had multiple months of vandalism, Also in the end they received seven warning for this month and after the final warning they continued to vandalize. Also thanks for the comments :), really helpful! ·Add§hore·Talk/Cont07:24, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just remember that blocks are protective not punitive...especially when dealing with an IP. Just because the user has a months worth of vandalism, does not necessarily mean they need a longer block than any other IP. Remember, it is a school IP, so vandalism is very common, and even more common is the fact that t he IP changes hands. So the person responsible for the most recent vandalism was probably different than that of the person who vandalized a week or month ago. Tiptoetytalk21:56, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi congrats on adminship BTW. Good to see an admin promoted who actually has a decent mainspace edit count. We have a large back log of French commune articles to add the infoboxes from French wikipedia Status check. All that needs doing is copying the infobox directly from the French wikipedia equivalent and with some slight changes. Please see Vulaines. All that needs doing for each article is cutting and pasting the infobox from French wiki into every article which must be bot compatible. So for Vulaines all it requires is pasting the infobox into it from here and pasting it into the english wiki article. COuld you please help programme a bot or use some form of coding to help complete the task in hours rather than months? Count Blofeld12:49, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I am very busy currently so I would not really have enough time to code anything. I suggest you past your idea here. This way all of the bot owners can try to help you out. Thanks for the message. ·Add§hore·Talk/Cont17:33, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Re: ACC tool
Hey Addshore. In response to your query, Elite Rhodes (Death Ball 102) created the account first time around, and the user received their confirmation e-mail from ACC. Since the account had already been created, and the user had already received their ACC confirmation when the request was originally marked as created, I dropped the request.
I became aware of the request due to the accounts-enwiki-l conversation ([Accounts-enwiki-l] English Wikipedia Account Request) between Elite Rhodes and the requesting user, which caught my eye – see my reply for more info on that one. haz (talk) 11:37, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm rather new to wikipedia, so I'm not sure if I'm asking the correct person...
However maybe you could help:
In the Action Aid wiki page, there is a line titled "Criticisms". There you can find
a link that does not work. It is note [1] at the end.
I think this line was added by you - but I am not sure (!)
How could I fix this?
The link now works. The link was not meant to go to an off site page but was meant to take you down to one of the notes or references on the page. Unfortunately no one had added such a section so the link just sat there. I have now added the section so the link should now work. Thanks for tell em about this ·Add§hore·Talk/Cont14:37, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
ACC user right
Since you were the one who gave me access to the ACC tool, and my request for the user right has been sitting in WP:PERM for a few days, I figured that I would ask you. I keep hitting my max (pretty much) every day, so I would like to get the 6 user cap lifted. If you have any questions, reply here or find me on IRC at #wikipedia-en-accounts --Terrillja talk19:17, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Addshore. I thought schoolblock templates should not be substed, as the instructions they contain are likely to change. The template documentation says as much. Additionally, I reverted one of your edits[3]. -- zzuuzz(talk)02:07, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There are several other templates on the list you are working through which should not be substed as they are subject to updated information. Specifically, please don't subst any of the proxy or Tor templates, as they often need updating. These are all but listed at WP:SUBST as templates which should not be substed. Thanks. -- zzuuzz(talk)02:26, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, i have seen other administrators subst that school block and anon block template when it specifically states this should not be done. Addshore is not the only one in this boat. 211.30.109.24 (talk) 04:04, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done and keep it up ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 19:38, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
