LA's userbox consolidation discussion; a side project I occassionally help out with, to reduce the number of superfluous userboxes.

Thanks for your note!

Yep, the 3O dispute worked out fine. There was never any question; just the usual troll putting up a vanity page and then getting huffy when I listed it on AfD. I'd actually offered to work with him to salvage some core of an actual article, but he preferred to descend to invective and attack. I mostly listed it at 3O so that he'd see that it wasn't just my opinion that his page was less than notable.

So... thanks for your interest! Cool that you go to DVC; a couple of my former students go there now. Ta! --Graham^talk/mail/e 22:17, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You

Thank for your help & the very quick reply. DXRAW 03:02, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thank you for reverting my userpage. DVD+ R/W 04:47, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do that

Right. I apoligize for jumping the gun a little on that... I should have checked the talk page first. Thanks for not juming to yell at me, and letting me know in a very civil manner. aido2002 09:09, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's okay... thanks for caring, though. aido2002 09:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Crosses! Skulls! Visual hysteria!

(Paging Edward Tufte. . . .)

I've just now very belatedly noticed your comment here. Sorry I didn't see it earlier, but I stopped paying attention to that discussion after a time, and only revisited it today when I wanted to point Woohookitty toward it.

I'm still sure I'm right about that.

I'm particularly wary of doing things that aggrandize "counter-vandalism". As I see it, vandals are boring, countering vandalism is boring; if you jolly up the latter task too much you risk attracting some screwy people to it: you get "counter-vandals" who at one level or another actually crave vandalism. Indeed, at about the time I was writing that commentary, I was intermittently dealing with a curiously keen vandal hunter -- who quickly turned out to be a part-time vandal. (He claimed a split personality or some such. He switched ID, and now the old ID is banned as an imposter. Or similar: I've lost track.) -- Hoary 11:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

I apologize deeply for that and want to thank you for being so kind about it. Thank you for all you do here : ) -- User:Shy1520

Vielen Dank

Thanks for the revert. Apparently, The Fursecution Vandal has decided my userpage makes a good target... :-( Anyway, thanks for the help. Heimstern Läufer 20:37, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it appears that I'm not being targeted anymore. I'm pretty used to having my page defaced: I'm an administrator at a smaller wiki, and the vandals don't like it when I block them. Heimstern Läufer 22:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

apologies

OMG Barnstar!

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar

For excellent work in fending off a Bobby Boulders sock, and for great anti-vandalism work in general, I award Luna Santin this Anti-Vandalism Barnstar. Keep up the good work! --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 22:54, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Deva Yogi

I caught on to this from CSD patrol. I sprotected User:StarLotus, and deleted User:Deva Yogi once, and left them a talk page message. It looks like they may be using this page as a template to make their page now, so I guess I'd push AGF a little further, bears watching after though. — xaosflux ^Talk 02:59, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

I'd like to thank you for your friendly introduction to Wikipedia, a resource which I have been following and using since its very roots, but have yet to make the impact to it that I owe it. I was not fully aware of the 3RR rule though, and that was very kind of you to inform me of that, before I blow it for myself right off the bat. If I seem like I have an ill-temper in the other pages in which I am currently active, don't take that as my usual conduct. I am just trying to post some relevant information to a page for something I am very experienced in, such that others who may come here to learn what is happening will be informed. My irritability merely stems from the haughty accusations of vandalism and more-or-less impolite manner that is being used to deal with me by certain members. Thank you for stepping forward, extending your hand, and letting me know that not all users are like that. I'm honoured that you took the time. Dirgenzhugeliang 03:33, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
