Hey- a tip!

This page is big. You should archive it ASAP. It makes for better communication when you don't have to scroll down to see the end of the table of contents alone. Just a thought. & no, this message was not meant to be the tipping point of archiving ;).

2D Backfire Master ^{sweet emotion} 20:21, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

I have no idea how... but If you wanna just go ahead and do it for me with some kinda bot or something, you're welcome to! (I can just read- ha.) Tommy (msg) 20:23, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Which discussions are you done with? Tell me, and I'll archive for you. 2D Backfire Master ^{sweet emotion} 20:28, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Ha, all of them? lol. Really, treat it as if were your own. Easy does it. --Tommy (msg) 20:29, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Done. You might want to salvage those barnstars, though. 2D Backfire Master

OM-NOM-NOM! 2D Backfire Master ^{sweet emotion} 20:34, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

What do you mean salvage? --Tommy (msg) 20:35, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Cut and paste the barnstars from the archive, and possibly put them on your userpage. Stars are meant to be worn proudly! Putting them on a shelf does nothing for Wiki-Pride (in a good way). I could do it for you, I suppose. 2D Backfire Master ^{sweet emotion} 20:39, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Ha, okay. Go for it --Tommy (msg) 20:40, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Does this thing archive automatically? ---Tommy (msg) 20:43, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Only some do, and that's with a bot's help. All you have to do is create the subpage [[/ArchiveX|ArchiveX]], X being the numbered archive it is, cut and paste all unwanted old text, and voila! Ooh, and also put the template {{archive}} at the top. 2D Backfire Master ^{sweet emotion} 20:47, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks a lot 2D :) --Tommy (msg) 20:48, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Yuu'z Welcommme! Now, get working. You have a lot of editing to do if you want to be an admin! Buena suerte. 2D Backfire Master ^{sweet emotion} 20:51, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Any tips for a N00B....

.....On how to go about fighting vandalism? I joined this project mostly to help fight vandalism, and noticed that you are one of the more active vandal fighters in Recent Changes. PunkyMcPunkersen (talk) 02:49, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Download wp:Huggle. But be careful to revert only vandalism. I got in trouble for reverting good-faith but badly-done edits. The way I do it- If you need to think about if you should revert it, just click space. ha. --Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 02:52, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I have some Wiki editing experience, so I use the diffs link to make certain it is vandalism. Peace. PunkyMcPunkersen (talk) 02:54, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

If you need anything you can ask me a question. Good luck --Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 02:55, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my userpage. Eagles 24/7 (C) 03:13, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Re: Using Wikipedia

Re your message: Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. I must have wandered off right as you were leaving me the message. I have seen your name quite a bit reverting vandalism and CSD tagging to a lesser extent. You're doing fine with the vandalism reverts. You've beat me to quite a few reverts. You've been dealing with all of the vandals just fine. You got your talk page semi-protected, so you must be doing something right. =) I was confused on a bit of your message as I could read a part of it as if you were asking how your contributions were with non-vandalism reverting edits. Was there something in particular that you wanted me to look at? With all of your vandalism reverts, it was difficult for me to find what else you have been editing. I think my only real suggestion is something that I say to a lot of vandalism fighters: be careful of burnout. You're doing a lot of work here and it is fairly easy to burn out if you don't find other things of interest to do on Wikipedia or don't step away from Wikipedia from time to time. That's really the best advice that I can give you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:11, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Hmm Actually I think it's fun. I mean some of the messages are pretty funny. Although the incredibly high use of gay, fag, and even nigger/a, is concerning as well as a pedophilic message I saw last week. But Yeah, I see what you mean. Thanks very much for the feedback. -Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 10:56, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Are there any specific topics that interest you? Sometimes, you could just add minor bits of information with a reference. I assume you know how to make a reference, but never assume. It makes an (first three letters) out of (fourth letter) and (last two letters). X). But, keep it up. I've seriously never seen such a meteoric rise in power in a new user. 2D Backfire Master ^{sweet emotion} 12:09, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

And really? Well thank you! I don't know, I had edited (very minor edits) from IPs in the past but I just created an account and played with the preferences and experimented a lot with preview and... ha. Um, I was a line cook.. I started improving culinary articles.. It's like I know what to add, but I'm not sure how. It's like I feel like Wikipedia has a lot of really well written articles but I'm not sure how I'd contribute. --Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 12:31, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

It is overwhelming at times. You don't necessarily have to find a niche either. Just do what you like. I think, however, that admins need to do some real edits occasionally. Whether adding or deleting, as long as you aren't vandalizing. We are all trying to free Wikipedia from stereotypes. 2D Backfire Master ^{ballroom blitz} 12:45, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

PS. And what is a line cook?

A line cook is a cook in a restaurant that prepares food. It is different from a chef as a chef creates the recipes, a sous-chef helps the chef and a line cook basically memorizes recipes and makes the food. Is it normal that a talk page such as this would get vandalized so much? --Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 13:12, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Er, no. All I know about restaurant mechanics is from watching Ratatouille a couple years ago. I don't even remember how it went. But anyways, best of luck, and if you ever need any help, just ask, me or the help desk. The latter tends to know more. 2D Backfire Master ^{ballroom blitz} 13:24, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Haha, I love Ratatouille. Thanks again Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 13:28, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

The childish insults thrown around by vandals is rather humorous and I'm glad that you are keeping a good perspective on it. Some user talk pages do get vandalized quite a bit. It depends upon how active you are fighting vandalism and which kinds of vandals you end up annoying. 2D Backfire Master's suggestions are good ones. You don't need to write a FA or even a GA. To use your work experience, you weren't expected to be the chef the first day you stepped into a kitchen, no? Adding content is a good way to keep yourself from burning out. Find something that interests you (it doesn't have to be anything that has to do with food), add a few things in, and see how it goes. Be bold, just add it. Or find a topic you like, put a few articles in your watchlist and see how other editors are adding things. Or join up with an appropriate WikiProject. Or start by just cleaning up an article by fixing the format or structure instead of attempting to add new content. As you become more comfortable with adding things, your edits will become more substantial. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:55, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I will try to be more assertive with adding content in the future. What are WikiProjects? Ha that's funny but I like it. Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 19:59, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

WikiProjects are groups of editors interested in working on a particular topic. There's the link to the master list. And often times you will find an a WikiProject has tagged the talk pages of articles in their interest with a header. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 03:41, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I uploaded this photo on 4 April 2010 and was told I didn't put in the 'source' info, even though I did claim it as my own work. I don't know how to edit this photo to confirm it's mine.

Trebuchet protection

Can you please protect it? It was recently protected, but obviously, 1 day is not long enough. Thanks, Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 22:29, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, the only vandals right now are school kids who are all in a certain range; I don't see any other vandalism attempt on this page made before today, so i really hope this will be one of those "Solved by the school-bell" cases where vandalism ceases and remains gone after an hour or so. Before these attempts the article has been quite 5 days; I kind of hope it can be maintained without protection for now, but i left the case open so other admins can evaluate it; My assumption might as well be a tad unrealistic. Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 22:50, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Before protection the IP started with 204.... now they're in a different range as they start with a different number (1XX...). Different range? Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 22:53, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Huggle and G7

Hi there Tommy2010. You recently tagged Infernal Death for speedy deletion under G7, but the user who blanked the page wasn't the author. Please be a bit more careful when using Huggle and tagging pages for deletions. Thank you. — ξ^xplicit 00:35, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

RE:So...

Yes. WP:RFP (if that doesn't link to requests for protection, that's what I meant to link) is solely for protecting/unprotecting pages, while WP:AIV fights vandalism. I don't know anything about Huggle, since I never use it. I do everything the old-fashioned way! 2D Backfire Master ^{words deeds} 11:23, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh ok. Yeah, Huggle automatically "reports" vandals after the level 4 warning. Thats where I figured they go. Thanks --Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 11:26, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Charts

I just noted this edit, which unfortunately reverted a good change by an anonymous editor. It's tough when the anon doesn't leave an edit summary, but a good rule of thumb is that essentially no Latin American countries have valid album charts, and edits that remove them are generally sound. WP:GOODCHARTS and WP:BADCHARTS make handy references if you are in doubt.—Kww(talk) 03:52, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Recent reversion on Natural law

Hi there,

Out of curiosity, what was it that User:Woodysqd did on Natural law recently that made a complete redaction of his revision necessary? No doubt it was vandalism judging by his history but I've never seen mere vandalism completely redacted instead of just reverted, so I'm kind of curious. --Pfhorrest (talk) 00:31, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

I don't remember. Probably a phone number or something which I have seen on more than a few occasions. Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 01:12, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

I didn't make that deletion though. I don't even know how to do that, if I even am able to? I don't know Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 01:13, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Request

Could you protect my talk page? I seem to be collecting some fans. Much appreciated --Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 19:21, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Might wanna check this out too. lol Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 19:25, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

I noticed his "Request" and self granted unblock on IRC, so i just removed his talk page access. I guess WP:POPUPS needs some maintenance as well as you can apparently block people without showing up as being an admin. O well, vandal logic i guess. As for protecting your talk page - well, it is mostly a case of "Not Done" par the protection policy because new accounts and IP's would not be able to contact you at all. If want talk page protection you should have a separate area where unconfirmed and IP users can contact you. In other words, it would just mitigate the problem. Though if you wish some short protection and won't mind an extra page for IP's and such I'll be happy to protect the main talk page.

Oh, and if you meet another account such as our good friend, don't bother with level 1 warnings. If this is a users first edit just hand then a level 3 or 4IM and blast them to AIAV if they repeat. No need to assume good faith on those kind of edits :). Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 19:33, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

I think I'll just go to you. That was an excellent response. Although I wonder... what do you mean? Another talk page? how? Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 19:37, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, technically it is just a subpage which is being user as a talk page. For example, you could create the page User:Tommy2010/NonProtectedTalk (Or a similar name) and leave that one unprotected so that anyone can edit it. If you place a note on your talk page directing users there it can be used as if it is another talk page, while protecting your own talk page and other user pages from hostile edits. That way the junk will stay limited to one page that few users will actually see, reducing the damage hostile edits might do. Most times it is more convenient to leave the regular talk page unprotected though as sending users around and watching two talk pages is a tad more time consuming because you need to check two pages (And you won't get the message bar if someone posts on the subpage). Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 19:44, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Really?

Re: I don't like you

Hehe, having finally close to no lag :D If huggle stats are reliable, in the last hour and half, I did 692 out of 889 huggle edits <3 Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 22:52, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

ugh, you're ruining it for the vandals and more importantly, me. Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 22:53, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Please watch your language.

Tommy2010: Do not swear like this. It is in direct violation of the spirit of the policy of how not to respond to vandalism, as well as essays such as WP:INSULT and WP:DENY. —Notyourbroom (talk) 07:33, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Youre right, it's completely unnecessary on a 2 year old vandalism only account. The preceding policies don't apply here -Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 07:57, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Sarcasm really works in text format. Insulting Antagonising vandals creates more vandalism. More vandalism is not good. Thanks. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 08:00, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

What insult Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 08:14, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Throwing profanity at them gets them excited. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 08:18, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

I agree with that. However, if they're obviously going to vandalize regardless, what is the difference? I have a clear history of keeping myself calm even in the face of "death threats" (though obviously not that threatening). Besides I figured s/he would be blocked soon enough and are not even able to create an account. Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 08:22, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Indefblocks are an incredibly weak barrier to editing. It's the reaction that their vandalism gets a reaction that induces more vandalism, more accounts, more admin time, more of your time. More than their vandalism would normally cause because it creates more of it. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 08:28, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Interesting.. but how? I assume once an account is indefblocked, they cannot just log out and use that IP.. Isn't that indefinite too? How long does it last before they can create an account? Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 08:33, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

A day. See WP:AUTOBLOCK, but in most cases it's easy to switch to another IP in far less time. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 08:35, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the help.. it's interesting how wikipedia has so much more than a fraction are aware of when they use the site Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 08:38, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Greetings and...

Greetings Tommy2010 - I see that you've reverted some vandal edits by 68.114.59.167 at Spanish cuisine and stuck a Level 2 warning on the user(s)' talk page. What puzzles me is that I had previously slapped a final warning there and you should (?) instead have reported it for admin intervention. The editor in question had made over a dozen vandal edits to that article in a day and by not carrying out the "threat" to block the IP it could be seen as just an empty threat and an invitation to continue vandalising. I realise that you might have a pedagogic intention for it, but please bear it in mind. It might also have been the symptom of an automated response to a particularly exhausting session of antivandal editting, and as such, a mistake, in which case I sympathise. Cheers! --Technopat (talk) 07:37, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Youre right. That edit was made with huggle so that IP should have been reported. Why it didn't do that... beyond me. Usually it automatically does report vandals within a day of a lvl 4 warning. Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 07:50, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Greetings again - thanks for reply. Keep on in there! Cheers!--Technopat (talk) 15:11, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

thank you

Thank you for the welcome banner Dondervogel 2 (talk) 18:28, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

You offered to help if needed, and I think it is, so here goes: Long ago I joined WP as editor Thunderbird2. After some disagreements I gave up that account. I don't recall precisely when, but this is easy to check. I can't use that account now because I no longer have a password for it, so I recently started a new one (the account you welcomed), making no secret of my connection with the previous one. I would appreciate your advice regarding this , (plus surrounding discussion on the same page, as well as my talk page) shortly after which (at least) two entire active threads were deleted from the MOSNUM talk page. What do you think I should do? Dondervogel 2 (talk) 11:35, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Some context: The above account and especially the previous one have been forum shopping the same issue for years. Right up to the point where multiple editors and admins told the account to drop the issue because it was being very pointy. The account came very close to being blocked for repeated behaviour contrary to Wikipedia policy and guidelines. There was a quiet period but now the same issues are being pushed by the same person yet again. I think a final warning to drop the issue and failing that a block is in order. I suspect others think the same way. The talk page sections were archived (not by me I might add) because one account repeatedly ignoring consensus does not make the topic active, it was also archived to try to stop the forum shopping by the account. Glider87 (talk) 15:03, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm a bit confused. If you only use one account, it shouldn't matter. As long as you are not (currently) banned or blocked, who cares? Tommy2010 15:47, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Well, it's not much fun being accused in this way, so I care even if no one else does. Could you ask the editors involved at MOSNUM to stop making the accusations (and refrain from archiving active discussions)? Dondervogel 2 (talk) 16:20, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

I'll send a message but next time just say you had another account in the past that is now retired. Tommy2010 16:30, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, much appreciated. Dondervogel 2 (talk) 16:32, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Well he removed it. There's nothing I can do, but if he keeps it up, it can be considered an attack, and you may wish to inform any administrator. Tommy2010 16:40, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tommy it looks like you've been duped by Dondervogel's forum shopping methods. It is actually Dondervogel who is in the wrong by insisting that inactive topics are kept open way beyond consensus has already been reached. The user has a history of not accepting consensus and then shopping around to various talk pages in an attempt to push his point of view. He has been warned several times to stop this behaviour. Glider87 (talk) 02:04, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

This issue was regarding accusations of supposed sockpuppetry, not consensus reaching. Tommy2010 02:06, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

It isn't regarding sockpuppetry as such. What matters is that the user has a long history of pointy behaviour on this topic. That is why the talk page sections were archived to try to stop the user from continuing to beat the dead horse and forum shop. Glider87 (talk) 02:14, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

This editor under his original name (Thunderbird2) had been told by an admin to drop it and stop flogging a dead horse. So he packed up his bags and disappeared for 14 months. Then he came back under a different name and started floggging the exact same issue that had long been settled and didn’t advise on the talk page as to who he was. Normally, that courtesy wouldn’t be required, but, persisting like that under a new name effectively circumvented what was heading for a topic ban (at the very least) or a flat-out indefinite block for gaming the system, forum shopping, and tendentious editing. Greg L (talk) 04:54, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

I understand Tommy2010 11:17, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

First, my identity was made clear on my user page from the beginning, as I believe is the custom. Second, the issue Greg_L refers to was not raised by me and was still live when he unilaterally chose to archive the discussion. Third, there was no topic ban (less still a block), so I could not possibly been avoiding one. Fourth, and most importantly, at least two accusations were made of sock-puppetry that have not been withdrawn: [1] [2] Dondervogel 2 (talk) 15:40, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

I swear I thought I replied to this... wow I must need more sleep to get over this cold. Anyways, yes you did make it clear, but as the other editor has said, if you're continuing to beat a dead horse, long after a consensus, you may violate wp:point and be blocked for it, of course, if you're civil about it, no. But I think you all really need to talk to an administrator about this. Tommy2010 16:22, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

You did reply, but I wanted to set the record straight after the previous post. Thanks again for your help. Dondervogel 2 (talk) 16:38, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

A question

Hey, Tommy. I was working on Turkish Wikipedia but I want to continue my contributions here, in English Wikipedia. I have created my monobook recently, wasn't sure about the shortcuts of all warning templates; so I don't have some coded between my scripts. I have my own "user.js" and "edit.js" As I know there are not same rules in all Wikipedias. But what about this? Is it a normal edit now? I do know users are very much free to remove their messages but it is supposed to archive them. Regards.--CnkALTDS^message 21:08, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Sure! See WP:Warn and remember to subst the templates. If youd like an example or help just ask --Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 21:09, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, thanks for the reply. Hmm, I would like to ask few things. I'm still not sure I'm done with all templates, here is the monobook I have created and user.js I have coded some what I need totally. But It is still too less to inform all anonymous & new users. Also I realized some warning templates could be in a better visual style. If I would try to change some things generally, would it be a matter? Regards.--CnkALTDS^message 21:25, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh, do you wanna use wp:huggle? is that what you're asking? You only need a .css page for huggle and the program does all the templates.

Well Tommy, thanks a lot for your help. I have tried these commons twinkle scripts almost all wikipedians use here, but I didn't work for me. I haven't tried huggle yet. I am a former Turkish Wikipedia user. By a wrong investigation I am blocked indefinitely; guess still the investigation is in process on metawiki (maybe not). So I'm bringing all my scripts here. Just need few template codes; example {{welcome}}. This welcome template has really a simple view and I guess it could have a better visual style (maybe with few wiki-anime images). I will work on them. Thanks a lot for your help once again. Glad to know you! :)--CnkALTDS^message 21:44, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Beavis

Why are you deleting content on the Beavis page claiming it's vandalism? Have you ever watched the show "Beavis and Butthead" before? Butthead calls Beavis nicknames like "fartknocker" and that content is actually contained elsewhere in the page. 68.45.109.136 (talk) 02:01, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

User may be evading block

Hi, recently you reverted some vandalism by User talk:Bearman5 on Valencia High School (Santa Clarita, California) and the user was indefinitely blocked 9 days ago. After that, a user named User talk:Bearman6 vandalized the same page and I reverted. My guess is that this is the same user evading his or her block though I have no real evidence other than the obviously similar usernames and vandalizing the same page. I am new here and don't know if anything is supposed to be done about this other than wait for them to do enough damage to be blocked and then wait for Bearman7, and then 8... Thanks. EdEColbert⁰⁵⁸⁵ 04:40, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Excellent job. Yes, that clearly would fall under wp:duck. It looks like a duck it quacks like a duck. It's a duck. However, I can't block it. Since User:NawlinWiki blocked the sock 5, Id send him a message so he can block 6 as well. If this becomes a problem we can file an SPI report, but I think it's so obvious it would be a bit unnecesary. Thanks for bringing it to my attention Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 11:59, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

You will be autoconfirmed tomorrow. To "install" twinkle, it is remarkably simple and will drastically aid you in terms of warning, reporting as well as reverting vandalism edits and more. The option is in your preferences at the top of the page. Click preferences at the top of the page, go to the gagdets tab, install Twinkle by checking the checkbox and save the page.

CSD G4

CSD G4 applies only to cases where something was recreated after being deleted as a result of deletion discussion. Normally, this is an article recreated after it was deleted at AfD.

In the case of Neopian Idol (deletion log), all the prior deletions were speedy deletions under criterion A7. Because the article never went through AfD, criterion G4 does not apply. However, criterion A7 still applies, because no assertion of significance or importance was made.

So the general rule of thumb is if a page is created, speedy deleted, and recreated just like it was, tag the new page with the same speedy deletion tag it had before. —C.Fred (talk) 01:53, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Ah okay. Thanks for the clear up. Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 01:54, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Clam Chowder "vandalism"

Hi Tommy,

I do appreciate that you are looking at pages to prevent "vandalism" but I assure you, if you were ever to actually read the information and history on clam chowder, specifically NEW ENGLAND clam chowder, which is the original, it is made WITHOUT potatoes. Only imitations are made with potatoes/clam chowders of lesser quality. This is added because potatoes are cheap. The crackers are the original thickeners. I will be changing it back. Please do some research on the history of chowder if for some reason you still believe this is incorrect. As a clam chowder/seafood chowder aficionado, I assure you the chowder is TRADITIONALLY made without potatoes. Other types of chowder however, may have potatoes in them traditionally, but not clam chowder.

Best,

Josephine —Preceding unsigned comment added by TB272 (talk • contribs) 04:36, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

As far as I know all chowders have potatoes in them. However if you have a reliable reference that states what you said, it would be acceptable. Thank you Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 05:14, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

"Traditional" in the first paragraph suggests how it's commonly made, not the history of it. And I believe they usually do have potatoes. But I mean if you know otherwise please have a reference. Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 05:19, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tommy,

Yes, most chowders do have potatoes in them, but clam chowder originally did not. But, definitely my fault for not adding the source, thanks for reminding me. I forgot. I will go back and make the change with the reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TB272 (talk • contribs) 05:33, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

2D, it saddens me to think you'd take that personally. I've just revamped it to make my UP more concise and less cluttered. If you want, I can re-add it. And that sounds fun, I've basically been wondering WP the last 20 mins or so. Oh the pages I come across!! Tommy2010 21:28, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

I have no idea, best to ask the deleting administrator since you know who it is. Sorry, Tommy2010 11:10, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Time 4 An Archive?

Is it time? Like I said before (you didn't answer me) do you have it under control? I assume you do, but just makin' sure. 2D Backfire Master ^{tempus fugit} 11:40, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

I must have missed it. No archiving yet, there are ongoing discussions still but I'll come to you when I need it Tommy2010 12:27, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Semi-Protection of talk page

You should set up a second, unprotected usertalk so trolls, non-autoconfirmed, users and IPs can ask you questions. --N419BH (talk) 22:10, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Done ;) Tommy2010 22:38, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

how do i add the status...

update to my page? έЯїᴄ_ᴐᴬṛṛ_ḟḁṉ (talk) 01:58, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

This will take a little bit to explain so give me a few minutes because it took me like an hour to get myself. Tommy2010 02:04, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

There are several steps and I am posting them one by one so don't reply here until I say that's it, but you are welcome to do these steps as I post them:

• Add {{Statustop|link=User talk:Xenocidic/Status|offset=80}} to the top of your user and/or user talk page. ...
• Go to your preferences at the top of the page. Add importScript('User:Xenocidic/statusChanger2.js'); (exactly as shown) to the skin's custom JS page that you are using Wikipedia. For example, monobook is the default skin. If you use that skin, click Custom JS (far right) and create the page with that formula. If you are using Vector, add it to the custom JS page to the far right of the Vector skin.

See if that works. Tommy2010 02:11, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

so when i add it the the custom js page i should paste this importScript('User:Xenocidic/statusChanger2.js') έЯїᴄ_ᴐᴬṛṛ_ḟḁṉ (talk) 02:20, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Yes, create the Custom JS page with importScript('User:Xenocidic/statusChanger2.js'); on whatever skin (under the Appearance tab) you want to use it with and save the page. Tommy2010 02:22, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

For the revert on my user page. Geoff ^{Who, me?} 14:04, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Anytime Tommy2010 10:38, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
