Block messages

Do you use twinkle? Twinkle is a lot better at issuing block messages. It is part of the same warning system that you probably have used before. That being said, when leaving a block message, it's generally considered "standard" to use the "sig" parameter instead of signing at the end. This would look like {{uw-block|reason=being a troll|sig=~~~~}}. This puts your signature in the message instead. Not a big deal, but just thought I'd let you know. Regards, Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 23:45, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

:Thanks for the heads up. I use IE, so TW is a non-starter for me (as I understand it). I'll just have to copy the template into my toolbox and take it from there. See ya 'round Tiderolls 03:40, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

what did you dislike about the edit to [[History of Cleveland]]?

Thanks for letting me know that you reverted my edit. What specifically did you consider unconstructive? 24.44.14.186 (talk) 00:37, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

: Thanks for reconsidering and reverting the reversion. 24.44.14.186 (talk) 01:03, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

:Huggle does not give one a view of the complete article, so I had no idea that the spelling of the city evolved. I still don't think the older spelling belongs but that's a discussion for the article's talk page. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Tiderolls 01:06, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

:: Moses Cleaveland did spell his name different from the city that now bears his family name. I have started a new section at Talk:History of Cleveland to draw comment and consensus for a ruling on the appropiateness of the use of the old spelling in the timeline section. 24.44.14.186 (talk) 02:07, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Question

Hello, why is it that you are reverting my edits over and over again? This is my information that somehow came on wikipedia and I do not tolerate this unrightful posting. Please leave my edits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bravo31 (talk • contribs) 01:03, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

I am not a vandalizer I am a human with his rights. I do demand some respect as you will be given the same.

my "hooters" edit

You took away "boobs" from products that are 'sold' by Hooters; I wholeheartedly disagree with this. I believe that female anatomy is part of the sales pitch for eating at a Hooters: part of the gimmick is that you eat and gawk at attractive women. If you would prefer, I could put "breasts" instead of "boobs," but again, I feel that breasts are a legitimate part of what Hooters is all about. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.79.58.26 (talk) 02:20, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Your message to Acroterion

Saw your note on Acroterion's talk, and I'd like to offer input — in my mind, there's no reason for your deletion to be undone. G10 applies to all namespaces; you have no less reason to delete an attack page in userspace than you do in mainspace. Moreover, in my mind, all of the revisions to the userpage are deletion-worthy, so it wouldn't help to undelete any of them. Nyttend (talk) 11:51, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

:Thanks for your input, Nyttend. That was essentially my take as well. I was just taken aback when I realized it was a user page and not an srticle. It appears the user in question is blocked and their contribs rev/del'd so matters have taken the usual route. Tiderolls 13:04, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Question regarding "List of Mario series characters"

I see that you're an administrator and that you've revert some edits on the List of Mario series characters article. I was curious about the possibility of getting it added to the pending changes trial. Considering the frequency and type of vandalism that occurs, it seems like it might be a good fit, but I don't know if it's a high-profile enough article to be of concern. I don't understand (or at least can't find any information) on how to request such protection, so I thought I'd just ask you; I'm only looking for push in the right direction. Thanks. DKqwerty (talk) 23:36, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
