You're not a Stargate fan, are you?

Just a guess from your username. ;) I just noticed your comment on Talk:Subway (restaurant) and decided to say hi. I too love Stargate, though my name's from Starhunter. "Sir, we can't call it the Enterprise." "Why not?" TransUtopian 03:22, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Starhunter's not well known among my friends. I've only seen the pilot and it wasn't that good, but I like it mostly for the Kaylee on Firefly-like free spirit, spunky mechanic Percy.

As for Stargate, I love it all. Like Jack and Daniel's myriad little mannerisms with each other that guarantees enjoyment out of practically any scene they interact in. "Boy, I'd hate to be the guy that has to explain this to the president." Jack's slow stare/glare and Daniel's "surprised", guilty look. TransUtopian 14:45, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Page reverts on Feb 22

I tried to revert edits by 212.85.15.118, not realising that they were aready taken care of. I viewed the user contibutions and clicked diff. I mistakenly thought those were the latest edits to the pages. I think I have fixed all of them. PrometheusX303 18:36, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Re: reverts

I just noticed you cut off a bunch, and reverted. Sorry for the collateral damage. (ESkog)^(Talk) 03:57, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

It's ok then. BTW, I've done it twice today. I think I should have edited a section at a tiume instead of the whole page. Is that why it cut off? PrometheusX303 04:17, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't really know what causes the problem - I know it's a fairly common thing for new editors to accidentally cut off large sections of article, and I'm not sure exactly what those have in common. If you ever figure it out, I'd be curious to know as well. (ESkog)^(Talk) 04:19, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Some help

Hello, I read your note on my talk page about the fire article, and unfortunately it seems you cut off half of my talk page while writing the note. Please be more careful in the future. To leave a new comment on somebody's talk page without editing any of the old comments, click the + "plus" button next to the edit button at the top. This will create a new section on their talk page. As for the article, I reverted it back to the most recent version by User:ElfMage. To revert to an old version:

1. go to the "history" tab
2. click on the date and time of the old version you want to revert to.
3. click edit.
4. don't make any changes to the text.
5. click save page.

You can also find more information at Help:Revert or use Lupin's popups tool for it. — Mar. 8, '06 [09:55] <freakofnur_xture|talk>

Ok, well you can avoid the page-too-long errors by using section editing, so you only edit one section at a time. Unfortunately it wouldn't be possible to do a manual revert without loading the entire text. You might try using Sam Hocevar's pseudo-rollback script as well. Follow the link in the orange bar at the top of his user page. I'm curious though, what web browser are you using? Depending on what your system can handle is I might strongly recommend upgrading, as there are about half a dozen free browser programs to choose from. — Mar. 8, '06 [11:14] <freakofnur_xture|talk>

Strange. That's what I use. In that case, I have no idea what the problem is, sorry. — Mar. 8, '06 [11:30] <freakofnur_xture|talk>

If it's not your browser, I'd bet that you're going through a web proxy which is cutting off your submissions. Does your ISP use a proxy server? Are you running proxy software? Rhobite 04:10, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Monobook

I apologize if this is not in the proper place or format I am trying to edit my monobook.js page to add nav pop-ups. PrometheusX303 18:51, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Question - are you using the monobook skin? That page doesn't exist yet...and I don't remember not having a monobook.js when I first went to edit my own. --Syrthiss 19:04, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I've added popups. Make sure that in "preferences", your "skin" is set to monobook. Press cntrl-F5. See if that helps. You should be able to edit your own monobook (admins can edit other people's as well).Voice-of-All^T|@|ESP 19:38, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

for the kind message. That edit summary was pretty much what went through my head as I read that. LeoDV 10:55, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Voice of All!

For showing me how to make a cool sig! Prometheus^X303

The Naked Now

Yes, I just finished watching The Naked Now on SpikeTV, and I was curious to see what sort of information there was on the episode here. And seeing the episode, I thought to correct and expand on the article somewhat.

Funky vandal

Every once in a while someone adds tons of images or test to a page, sometimes it's so bad the page won't load. This one was pretty run of the mill though ;) Rx StrangeLove 05:29, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

question on sunburn

treating sunburn is pretty common in australia and I thought it would have been in much of usa too! it is wrong to put someone under a hot shower. cool water up to and including an ice bath is better. Sunburn is a form of exposure - the risk is, might the person go into shock from the sunburn? If it is just irritating then lotions are the way to go. A long cool bath will sooth the skin far better than a short hot shower and it is not uncommon for people's already sensitised skin to flip from "bad sunburn" (but not quite blistered) to an actual heat burn if you put them in a hot shower.

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available

After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:58, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't help regarding CreationWiki article. I have been fairly inactive at Wikipedia. ken 01:02, 27 May 2006 (UTC)kdbuffalo
