I'll write more when I have some more time (i.e. tomorrow...) Flcelloguy (A note?) 00:57, 8 December 2005 (UTC) Hmm... the semicolon got lost in translation; it was there when I first copied it to Wikipedia (check out the history...). Thanks for catching it! Did your .txt file have a "*" in front of every line? That may be the problem — when I copied and pasted the contributions, the bullet point got turned into an asteric; the StringTokenizer would have counted that. Without that, the Tokenizer would have been trying to collect data on the word before. Let me know how it works out. Thanks again! Flcelloguy (A note?) 02:33, 8 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks for all your help, and good luck on your exams! Flcelloguy (A note?) 02:42, 8 December 2005 (UTC) Our new friend dot I asked our new friend ∙ (talk · contribs)politely to change his username. Could you (if you do agree; I did have to go and find the special dot character; this of course is the inherent problem). Tell him to change his username (possibly with template:usernameblock. I don't want to give the impression I'm bullying him and taking unilateral action or for that matter respond to his reply which was a bit trollish. I'm just a lowly admin. Tell him it's nothing personal. — Dunc|☺ 21:28, 8 December 2005 (UTC) Done. Titoxd(?!? - did you read this?) 21:56, 8 December 2005 (UTC) Wikipedia:Spanish Translation of the Week The three articles that are nominees for translation of the week have already been translated, seem to be machine translated or very poorly translated. Should we re-translate the articles or try to clean up the grammar? — J3ff 22:44, 8 December 2005 (UTC) Special:Contributions/newbies Hello, lad. I noticed you talking about this somewhere, so I'm assuming that you understand how it works. Would you be so kind as to enlighten me? It looks like it's a way to keep track of the edits of newcomers, but I can't tell who gets on the list and who doesn't, when you get off it, whether or not IPs are on it, along with some other things—and there doesn't seem to be a help page on it (maybe I'll create one?). *sigh* Anyway, any info would be appreciated. Thanks, and take it easy, Blackcap (talk) 01:23, 9 December 2005 (UTC) O.K., well, thanks anyway. I'll go ahead and ask at the Pump when I've a minute. Take care, Blackcap (talk) 01:35, 9 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks for the help Thanks for the speedy delete with the Charles Hoskinson article, especially during your break. Nonforma 02:15, 9 December 2005 (UTC) My failed RFA :) Dear Titoxd, I would like to thank you for supporting me on my RfA. Even though it failed with a with the final tally of 55/22/6, I want to thank you anyways. I don't want to be one a admin anymore until I reach 10,000 edits now that it's over with. Thanks --Jaranda wat's sup 03:35, 9 December 2005 (UTC) User Subpages Hey Tito, I was wondering if you could tell me how to create a user sub page? I'd like to use it to practice certain tasks before forging straight into them. Thanks. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 04:49, 9 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks again Tito I was useing the subpage to practice the procedure of closing keep AfD's. Thanks it helped a bunch. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 05:18, 9 December 2005 (UTC) Take an other look lol. That has been addressed for the most part. :-D KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 05:28, 9 December 2005 (UTC) LMAO I repeat just practice lol. Did you read the disclaimer. THIS IS JUST PRACTICE.... Let's just pretend that they are real user's and not sockpuppets. I've updated the reasons for D and K make more sense? I made an other one check back soon. At least it's funny right? KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 06:13, 9 December 2005 (UTC) P.S. Good thing I practiced first I would have made some mistakes huh lol :-P KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 06:18, 9 December 2005 (UTC) Practice Tito :-D. I'm teaching myself here and you know the DP is rather confusing if you don't know what your doing. :-D how about some positve criticism lol. I know your getting at least a chuckle out of this. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 06:26, 9 December 2005 (UTC) Go ahead and recheck please. Was that what you wanted with the redirect? KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 06:28, 9 December 2005 (UTC) Yes sir:Thanks again Tito I was useing the subpage to practice the procedure of closing keep AfD's. Thanks it helped a bunch. I have no delete powers :-D KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 06:33, 9 December 2005 (UTC) LOL I made that last one just so you'd get a laugh to be honest with you. I think with a little practice and study of policy I could handle keep debates to start. That last one was just for kicks. lol.KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 06:35, 9 December 2005 (UTC) The Quitting Thing Yeah, I just assumed that I had lost face and would have to do things that would make me have to leave in order to make things work out and blah, blah, blah. Thanks for the intervention, here's a barn star for your trouble, my friend. Please let me know if I can help out in the future. karmafist 04:54, 9 December 2005 (UTC) heh, just enforce that arbcom decision, and no clue stick will be necessary. ;-) karmafist 04:59, 9 December 2005 (UTC) Think wet blanket. :-). Ëvilphoenix Burn! 06:22, 9 December 2005 (UTC) Tool help Hey, thanks alot! I wasnt sure if I had done it yet, so, now I know. Thanks again for going out of your way to let me know Banes 06:52, 9 December 2005 (UTC) Great work, Titoxd! I haven't taken a close look at the code (just like you, I'm still extremely busy right now) or run it yet, but great work in breaking up into classes and creating a Contribs class. From a brief glance, you're parsing from the "View source" of the person's contribs page. However, when I tried saving the page, it didn't let me save as a .txt, and instead had to save as a "HTML file". Can BufferedReader read from anything other than .txt? Hmm... excellent job on everything, especially on breaking up into methods and classes and saving everything (timestamp, etc)! This is a great start. There's many advantages into the using the source code for the page instead of copying & pasting — with copying and pasting, I was having some problem with changing the whole article text/namespace into one token (i.e. replace the appropriate spaces with underscores), but that's not a problem with the source code. I'll test it out soon, but again, great job, and many thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 01:10, 10 December 2005 (UTC) A thank you from Ann Hi, Titoxd. I just want to thank you for voting to support me in my RfA. I know I'm very late thanking you, but I've been a bit caught up with college work. I hope I'll live up to the expectations of those who voted for me. Please let me know if you ever have a problem with any admin action that I carry out. Thanks again. Cheers. AnnH (talk) 20:41, 9 December 2005 (UTC) A small request Sir, I see you have reverted my edit of the Brian Larsen article. Please reconsider. I realize the revised version may not have been very neutral, but the subject matter really doesn't merit an article of such length. Mr. Larsen has often used false identities on the Internet to agree with himself and to brag about his "accomplishments", true or not. At the very least, the supposed connections between him and Fleetwood Mac should be looked into, to prevent Fleetwood Mac fans from wondering. Please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.246.82.175 (talk • contribs) 02:48, 10 December 2005 (UTC) Since I'm not completely familiar with the subject (I just saw the blanking in recent changes), I marked it so someone has a look at it. It almost looks like a copyvio/vanity page to me. Titoxd(?!? - did you read this?) 02:47, 10 December 2005 (UTC) Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.246.82.175 (talk • contribs) 02:52, 10 December 2005 (UTC) My RFA Making it short and sweet... Thanks for the vote, Tito! NSLE (T+C+CVU) 07:27, 10 December 2005 (UTC) Motion graphs Yes, when collaborative editing works, it really works, doesn't it? I hope the posting anon comes along and takes a look and joins in, too. -Splashtalk 04:41, 12 December 2005 (UTC) WikiProject Numismatics Dear WikiProject Numismatics member: You may have noticed the edits made by user:mom2jandk, and you may have also noticed that I have reverted most of them. I would like to leave this note as an explanation. mom2jandk is a new user and a clearly enthusiastic member of WikiProject:Numismatics. However, he/she has made several changes (specifically to the categorization scheme) that I reverted for various reasons. Among them, he/she: Moved most of the articles in Category:United States Mint to Category:United States mints. This seems to serve no purpose; the United States Mint is the proper name of a government agency (that you are all no doubt familiar with) and its category was created as a home for articles relating to it. Created Category:United States currency designers. At the moment there does not seem to be anyone in this category who does not already fit into Category:United States Mint engravers, therefore making it a redundant category. Created Category:United States Mint officers. This is problematic for several reasons. Firstly, while any number of persons employed by the Mint might be correctly referred to as "officers," I've never seen the term used. Secondly, virtually all of the articles in the category would fit under Category:United States Mint engravers or Category:Directors of the United States Mint. Thirdly, even if there are articles about persons who were neither engravers or directors, there would likely not be enough to warrant a subcategory, and therefore such an article should be placed in Category:United States Mint. Created several other categories that either do not fit or fit awkwardly into the categorization scheme. Nominated several categories for deletion, including United States Mint, United States Mint engravers, and others. On the deletion vote for Cat:United States Mint, he seems to be confused as to the purpose of the category; it is, as I said, for articles relating to the government agency known as the United States Mint. There are mints in the United States that are not part of the United States Mint (i.e. the Franklin Mint) and his confusion over this fact seems to be the impetus for the nomination. You might also notice that he nominated cat:Directors of the United States Mint; his explanation is that he broadened the category to "United States Mint officers" so that a Superintendent could be included. The "superintendent of the Mint" to which he referred was Roswell K. Colcord, who was superintendent of the Carson City Mint; there is no such office as "superintendent" for the entire United States Mint (or, if there is, it is distinct from Director of the Mint.) After reading this fairly lengthy message, you might get the impression that I am attacking either mom2jandk or his/her edits; this is not the case. I have a great deal of admiration for him/her as a new user who is not afraid to jump in and try to improve Wikipedia and the Numismatics project. I hope he/she continues to contribute, and I believe he/she has a great deal to offer. This message is quite long because I wanted to explain the specifics of the categories (many of which, incidentally, were created by me.) Note that I placed merge tags on most of mom2jandk's categories. It goes without saying that, if there are any categories that should be altered and/or deleted, by all means make such changes, regardless of whether I or anyone else created them; neither I nor my edits are perfect. Apologies for using he/she; I assume mom2jandk's user name reflects her role as a mother but I wasn't completely certain. Thank you all and I look forward to continued work with you in the future. Paul 06:04, 12 December 2005 (UTC) Hurricane Katrina death count We reverted almost simultaneously, but you un-reverted yourself so it didn't show as an edit conflict. Why did you un-revert? --AySz88^-^ 04:01, 13 December 2005 (UTC) http://robertlindsay.blogspot.com/2005/12/katrina-death-toll-inches-up-to-1383.html shows 1383...but that's a blog post, so I'm not certain about the reliability. However, he seems to cite lots of sources. --AySz88^-^ 04:05, 13 December 2005 (UTC) The two sources seem to match: your example explicitly doesn't include 2 from Ohio, 1 from Kentucky, and 57 "evacuees" that are in the blog article. I guess I'll go update the article. --AySz88^-^ 04:26, 13 December 2005 (UTC) I'm in the middle of changing it, but what exactly is an "official state total"? If it needs to be a quote from a government official, I don't think I have a source. --AySz88^-^ 04:45, 13 December 2005 (UTC) Okay, at least one of them is a loop from Wikipedia itself. The Ohio number is cited as from [1] which got *their* table from Wikipedia (even the colors look the same). I guess I shouldn't use that number, at least, then. Seeing as there was one USA today article that copied Wikipedia infoboxes, I'm concerned the rest of the numbers might be feedback from Wikipedia too. Also, the official counts don't seem to count indirect deaths, and there's no distinction in either article. I don't know if I want to touch the table. :p I saved what I did, but reverted it to the original version until we can figure this out.... --AySz88^-^ 05:06, 13 December 2005 (UTC) Image galleries You recently commented at Wikipedia_talk:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Proposal_to_modify_WP:NOT_an_image_gallery. In a related development, another, in my mind, valuable Image gallery is up for deletion (AfD). Please comment as you see fit. Dsmdgold 15:35, 13 December 2005 (UTC) Re: About several things I'm going to take the liberty to respond to you in numbers. :-) 1. No, not yet; just like you, I'm also extremely busy at the moment. I'll probably get some free time (hopefully) over the weekend, if not sooner, to take a look at it. It sounds wonderful - I haven't done GUIs in a while and was thinking of relying on JOptionPane, but GUIs is probably a better idea. I'll look at it soon. In the meantime, Kate's Tool is back up, giving us some time. My vision of our tool is not just to be a backup to Kate's Tool, but to be also be a statistics tool that offers options Kate's Tool does not (yet) have (i.e. minor edits, edit summary, and I'm also thinking we could code average edits per day and other statistics; that won't be too hard because we're parsing the time and date already). Thanks a lot for all your great work; it's greatly appreciated! 2. OK, I'll have a look and respond there. 3. Check out the talk pages; I'll make an "announcement" with all the pertinent info there. Thanks once again! Flcelloguy (A note?) 21:44, 13 December 2005 (UTC) DYK Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Motion graphs and derivatives, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. How cool is this? Good work! That reminds me: that image that you have gracing our main page — if you were to add $t_{1}$ and $t_{2}$ to the shaded area, we could put those limits on the definite integrals instead and generalise it a little. :) -Splashtalk 21:14, 14 December 2005 (UTC) Hi, sorry. Got distracted. You mean because of editing a protected image? Hmmmm. Probably not, since admins edit the protected main page stuff all the time; there's sort of a convention that it's ok, I think. Great new pic! -Splashtalk 22:17, 14 December 2005 (UTC) My RFA Hi there Titoxd I wanted to thank you for supporting me in my RFA. Cheers!

Pyrics is making the same vandalism edits as the anon IP. If you could take a look to confirm if it is the same type of vandalism, and let me know what the verdict is I'd appreciate it. Thanks KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 03:51, 15 December 2005 (UTC) I sure will thanks.

But I guess the sentence is correct with or without the comma. Jdorje 07:25, 15 December 2005 (UTC) Wikispecies Thanks for your help with undoing the vandalism on Wikispecies. Looks like there were no admins around at that time. lycaon 10:31, 15 December 2005 (UTC) A strange laugh Hi Titoxd! I was passing by and saw that your Wikistress is still huge (for obvious reasons). I wish there was something I could do, but there isn't. So I thought I'd send you a picture of a Laughing Gull. It makes no sense, I know, but it is laughing. Apparently. :) ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 21:59, 15 December 2005 (UTC) hi Have a barnstar for all your hard work here: Take care, εγκυκλοπαίδεια* (talk) 00:21, 16 December 2005 (UTC) heya titoxd, this is VileRage this is a test --192¸168¸0¸1 03:34, 16 December 2005 (UTC) how many templates for blanking? Oops! Sorry about that, I meant to hit tab not enter..anyway, lol. I'm just wondering how many templates for blanking there are for warning vandals. I only know of 3 {{blanking}} , and the test2a and 2b ones are there more? Thanks KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 04:13, 16 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks again. Good luck on the Esperanza elections tomorrow! KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 04:18, 16 December 2005 (UTC) Shhh. How in the world did you notice activity on that most-out-of-the way corner of the world? I use a somewhat clumsy translude/copy-paste/delete in order to get AfD results for analysis. If you'll look at the history, you'll see that this spot is just a holding space. I'm trying to be low-key, but not going totally cold turkey. Thanks for being alert, though. 144.53.251.2 04:52, 16 December 2005 (UTC) Mcfly85 HI there Tito, it's SWD. I was wondering, is it against Wikipedia policy to have what I have written on my user page about Mcfly85. If it is, I'll remove it. Mcfly85 says it is but I would rather hear it from someone like you. Is it? Also, Mcfly85 wont leave me alone. I kindly asked him to just leave me alone and he keep on leaving messages on my talk page. Thanks! SWD316 16:51, 16 December 2005 (UTC) News from Esperanza Hello, fellow Esperanzians! This is just a friendly reminder that elections for Administrator General and two advisory council positions have just begun. Voting will last until Friday, December 30, so make sure you exercise your right to vote! Also, I'm pleased to announce the creation of the Esperanza mailing list. I urge all members to join; see Wikipedia:Esperanza/Contact for more information. All you need to do is email me and I will activate your account. This will be a great way to relax, stay in touch, and hear important announcements. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) This message was delivered to all Esperanza members by our acting messenger, Redvers. If you do not wish to receive further messages, please list yourself at WP:ESP/S. Thanks. Numismatics Project archive talk page I was wondering if you'd archive the Numismatics talk page when you get a chance. You mentioned before that it's easy, and I think the length is way out of hand (I know I have trouble finding stuff). I'll be happy to help figure out which sections are currently active and create new topics or however that should be handled. If this is something I could do as a non-admin, please tell me how. Thanks Ingrid 20:01, 16 December 2005 (UTC) Done. Titoxd(?!? - did you read this?) 20:28, 16 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks! That's much better.

SWD316 20:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC) Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Harry Potter/Images Just a note, its not a big issue as there was a clear consensus, but generally you want to avoid closing deletion discussions that you have participated in. Best regards, Ëvilphoenix Burn! 22:42, 16 December 2005 (UTC) Hey, it's no big deal, I'm certainly not going to press it, it's more that there's a (slight) potential for upsetting people.

I can only hope they impliment this soon (it shouldn't take too much coding, I imagine), so the sooner the better :). -Mysekurity(have you seen this?) 02:30, 17 December 2005 (UTC) P.S. Happy Birthday! Daniel Brandt Please do not use rollback to revert something that is not vandalism (in fact, the reversion to a redirect is close to vandalism, as no merging was done). --SPUI (talk) 02:45, 17 December 2005 (UTC) So, if the merge is not done, how is redirecting anyway the solution? --SPUI (talk) 02:48, 17 December 2005 (UTC) Re: Sockpuppets? This is too much of a coincidence... :) Titoxd(?!? - did you read this?) 02:18, 17 December 2005 (UTC) I had the same thing happen with FreplySpang last week. This is getting spooky... :) Owen× ☎ 03:28, 17 December 2005 (UTC) re: Bugzilla As far as making it so it doesn't show your every email..I don't know. Kizzle and I used it months ago to try and get anon ip's from being able to edit pages like GWBush and were unsuccessful...but I like semi-protect a lot better anyway. I get a few emails a month as I only contributed a few comments there months ago and I haven't been back since. Maybe it has a preferences link?--MONGO 04:31, 17 December 2005 (UTC) Oh I see...no problem, post there in a minute...my understanding is that we are only waiting for the developers to implement it right? Also, to hide my email, I just filled out some lengthy log in thing, but can't remember how I did it. I am correct that this has passed and it is up to the developers, correct?--MONGO 04:38, 17 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks...this is great news...I had dropped out of the conversation and saw that it appeared to have passed but wasn't positive all the details. I'll post a comment now.--MONGO 04:45, 17 December 2005 (UTC) I had to dig up my old PW...any idea when this will be fully implemented by the developers?--MONGO 05:07, 17 December 2005 (UTC) Okay, I left a message on Bugzilla...hopefully we can implement this at GWBush and put a virtual end to the nonsense there.--MONGO 09:17, 17 December 2005 (UTC) Thank you! Thanks for voting on my RfA! The final result was (36/1/2), so I'm now an administrator! COME MR. OPERATOR MAN, TALLY ME A VOICE NOW! DAYLIGHT COME AND ME WANT FIGHT VANDALS! ...yeah, that was pretty stupid. Mo0[talk] 06:22, 17 December 2005 (UTC) Happy Birthday! Unless I'm much mistaken, I'm the first Birthday wellwisher. Have a great day Tito, and good luck in the elections - looks like we're heading for a tie... :) --Celestianpower háblame 17:41, 17 December 2005 (UTC) Looks like I was mistaken. Sorry! --Celestianpower háblame 17:41, 17 December 2005 (UTC) May I also you wish a very Happy Birthday any many more to come.--Dakota t e 17:45, 17 December 2005 (UTC) Happy Birthday. FireFox 20:41, 17 December 2005 (UTC) My RfA Thanks for voting on my RfA! The final result was (36/1/1), so I'm now an administrator! See you on IRCShanel 20:40, 17 December 2005 (UTC) Mcfly85 (again) I have a couple of questions on what happens now. 1) Should the IP addresses used by Mcfly85 that vandalized be counted as sockpuppets and be blocked? 2) Can I place vandal tags on the Mcfly85 sockpuppets user pages like the Willy on Wheels sockpuppets? SWD316 19:27, 18 December 2005 (UTC) Sig You think maybe it's time to change our sigs? Or do we still want to create awareness? Remember—NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER! We must push until this becomes a reality! (Oh, and word to getting on the 100 list) -Mysekurity(have you seen this?) 22:03, 18 December 2005 (UTC) SWD316 RFA I want you to see the comment under the "comments" section I left at My RFA. It partially involves you. SWD316 22:34, 18 December 2005 (UTC) Wikipedia:Wikipedia DVD/Temp Although you deleted Wikipedia:Wikipedia DVD, you forgot the old temp page (a redirect) at Wikipedia:Wikipedia DVD/Temp. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:45, 19 December 2005 (UTC) Done. Titoxd(?!? - did you read this?) 05:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC) A few more things left over, like Wikipedia DVD/Temp and Wikipedia DVD. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:50, 19 December 2005 (UTC) All of those are now redlinks. Titoxd(?!? - did you read this?) 05:52, 19 December 2005 (UTC) Re: Edit Counter Ah, and here I was about to reply to your last version. :-) Good work! Here's my thoughts on 3.10 (I'll try 3.20 in a minute...): The GUI is pretty nice, and it's great that you can read and merge from more than one htm file. However, the GUI needs some work - for instance, no "exit" button (only the X and cancel), and an output besides System.out would be nice. If you haven't changed some of those things in 3.20, I'll see what I can do. Let me get back to you after I try out 3.2. Thanks a lot! Flcelloguy (A note?) 16:13, 19 December 2005 (UTC) 3.20 looks good! I especially like the "New query" and outputs. I'll see if I can add some buttons (i.e. "Done", etc.). Right now, I've spent some time with the edit summary - it's working pretty well, except that the editing sections with or without edit summaries is a bit of a pain. I need some more time with that and I'll work on it later tonight and later this week. Anyways, I was thinking it's time to move to project off of user subpages and move it to a subpage of WP:TOOLS (like the popups), merge the two pages, and call it "Statistics Tool" or something like that, created by Flcelloguy and Titoxd. What do you think? Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 17:14, 19 December 2005 (UTC) Wow, you sure get a lot of messages in one day. :-) I'll start merging the two pages and moving it, and while I like that name, I'll see if I can improve on it. :-) Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 21:35, 19 December 2005 (UTC) IRC Hello there, hope you are well. Today I was able to register my nickname, FireFox, on IRC which I haven't been able to do in the past. I have been told you have the ability to raise access levels, so if you wouldn't mind, and if it isn't against any policy, could you please raise my access level to 11 (which is what I've been told most admins have) or higher on irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-en-vandalism - Thanks, FireFox 20:02, 19 December 2005 (UTC) I echo that sentiment, hope you are well. I just registered my nickname too! It's all just a little to hetic. I'm like a lost puppy in there :-D so I'm just observing. Could you explain how it all works? Thanks KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 20:27, 19 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks Thanks for that ;D Alf melmac (aka "a c*ck") 20:22, 19 December 2005 (UTC) PLEASE HELP ME Hi. I am the user user:Bucephalus. I was trying to make navigation popups work for me but I am inept. I edited (= broke) my monobook page and now I can't access it to change back because I have broken that user name. The page is protected, so only me (but my user name is broken) and admins can fix. Please could revert this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Bucephalus/monobook.js&action=history to the 30th march version. Sorry. I really am this stupid. --Bucephalus1 20:49, 19 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks Thanks for reverting vandalism on my userpage! FireFox 21:17, 19 December 2005 (UTC) Vandal Blocking (I'm posting this so you have it written down for your scrapbook someday... :) 17:07, December 19, 2005 Titoxd blocked "User:(*)Stars(*)" with an expiry time of indefinite (don't you have something better to do than vandalize?) 17:09, December 19, 2005 Titoxd blocked "User:No I don't actually" with an expiry time of indefinite (good, then go play somewhere) Nice job, Tixoxd...I was laughing out loud as I watched this progress. Nice vandal blocking, by the way!--ViolinGirl♪ 22:25, 19 December 2005 (UTC) Yeah, I try to help with the vandal whacking, but I need to read up about it...there isn't much non-admins can do, right? Before that, though, it looks like I need to learn how to make headers. I can just see you clicking on the history..."Where IS that "new message"? ha ha! Sorry about that!--ViolinGirl♪ 23:40, 19 December 2005 (UTC) PS Beethoven's Symphony No. WHAT???! Well, I was just kidding about learning how to make headers...sorry for not making that clear...I did fix it, anyway, though...oh, yeah, and String Quartet...I must be very ignorant...Beethoven didn't write 131 SQ's, did he? And thanks, I'll keep you in mind if I need help sometime...For now, ViolinGirl♪ 00:11, 20 December 2005 (UTC) Whew, you scared me! I was thinking, "Beethoven isn't THAT old, is he?!!" LOL--ViolinGirl♪ 00:18, 20 December 2005 (UTC) Thank you so much! I remember reading that somewhere, but it will be helpful having it on my talk page for a while so I can learn how. So even though I can't block people, I can at least now revert changes...(at least, as long as I remember how!) Thanks again!--ViolinGirl♪ 00:38, 20 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks, I will take you up on the offer of blocking vandals for me, if I need it. Maybe someday I will consider becoming an administrator. Thanks again for everything today. Have a nice rest-of-the-day!--ViolinGirl♪ 01:15, 20 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks for reverting my user page. Subject line says all.

Right now, Rita first, that article's close. Then Wilma. Then I want 2004AHS to be renominated. Ivan needs to be renominatated. Then we should look at the other articles for 2004 storm and see if any have and hope of being an FA. Ivan should be desiganted a good article very soon. Rita too. Then we'll go from there. Thoughts? -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 05:54, 20 December 2005 (UTC) User:Titoxd' I was looking through the user creation log and found User:Titoxd' (note the apostrophe at the end of the name).
