[edit] RE: Northside High School Article

The one saying that I am like the moderator of the NHS Page is kind of a little thing to keep vandaliser's away. I do keep a look out for the NHS article because i am an alumni from there. But I am not imposing ownership on it. The reason I revert alot of the edits make to the NHS page lately is because people have been deleting encyclopedic material. Like the last change that was made they said that it was uncyclopedic material and that it was promotional, i undid that revision. Sorry if there was confusion and please message me if you have any more questions. have a great day! Chrismaster1 18:26, 5 September 2007

In addition, I saw the thing about me on the Wiki thing about vandalism. I posted the bitch slappin thing to get people to quit deleting stuff about the band. So that's why I said what I said to get people to stop deleting the band. By the way, If you happen to run into justtoletyouknow6 i think thats his name, tell him to send me a message.

[edit] Admin Coaching

I was thinking of applying for an admin...on the page, it says "Description=YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THE USER" what exactly am i suppose to put there, if i'm nominating myself. Also, skimming through, I didn't see any other self-noms..are they rare, and unlikely to pass, or what is the reason for that? Please reply on my talk Ctjf83 01:53, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

do you have a response? Ctjf83 05:04, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

lol, so for my impatience...it's one of my flaws. i was actually looking over the coaching the day i put the first post, and was thinking of doing it. the only thing that stopped me, was the long list of people waiting, so I didn't think the program worked very well. But if you are volunteering to coach, i would be honored to except your assistance...thank you, Ctjf83 05:42, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

is this going to affect me at all....some IP complaining about his vandalism warning Ctjf83 18:53, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

i've been going through the AFDs, and contributing to get more involved with that aspect of wiki...do u want us to be listed here? Ctjf83 21:45, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Do you ever review QACs? I have some, and am anxious to see if they pass...they have been candidates for 11 days Ctjf83 01:36, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

DO you have anything for me to do yet, for my RFA...and if possible, can you review my two QACs, i'm impatiant to see if they pass Ctjf83 01:31, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I've been very busy and quite stressed out lately. I guarantee you I will have something within the next 24 hours. And I'm not sure what you mean by QAC, do you mean WP:GAC or WP:FAC? Mr.Z-man 01:35, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

LOL, sorry GOOD AC...typo...i have 2, can u review them, so i can see if i got 2 up to that level? Ctjf83 01:39, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

ok, i'll take a look at it, and get it done soon! Ctjf83 00:28, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I shouldn't even have to ask any questions for this..lol, but what do u want for number 2? "What is your impression of what [the majority of] admins do?" do u mean what they do as far as their "job", or my impression on how well they do stuff? Ctjf83 01:23, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

i answered them all...let me know Ctjf83 01:50, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok, so what is the next thing we do? Ctjf83 18:08, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

well?? Ctjf83 17:40, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

ok, have fun! if ur goin on vacation that is...Ctjf83 ^talk 21:18, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm ready to get protection reviewed, and get more training Ctjf83 ^talk 03:38, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

do you have anything? I'd really like to kick this up a notch Ctjf83 ^talk 00:21, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

are you too busy to coach me? I'm not trying to sound rude, but we've been doing this for a month and a half, and have only done one lesson. If you are too busy, it's fine, I can find a new coach, although I'd like to keep you, if we get going more. Ctjf83 ^talk 06:50, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

in the fair use questions section, am I just suppose to answer following policy, or can I use my own judgment (which would probably be not the best thing to do, as you probably know) Ctjf83 ^talk 07:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Eh, I just answered the questions, along policy lines, so whenever your ready to "grade" it Ctjf83 ^talk 07:28, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Next questions? Ctjf83^talk 19:06, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Can you please go faster on the admin coaching? we have been doing it for 2 months, and have no real progress. If you are too busy to do it, I understand, I can find a new coach, if not, can we get it going! Ctjf83^talk 20:45, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

alright, answers are done! see how fast i answer them ;) Ctjf83^talk 05:38, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

How many lessons are there? and can u post the next? Ctjf83^talk 19:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Think of any questions for practice...let's finish this up!! Ctjf83^talk 19:26, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

For the first answer, I have always planned to put, fight/block vandals. Looking over some RFAs that have passed, is it too cliché to put that? It's true, I do want to, but does everyone use that, are people tired of reading that, or do they still like to see that? Ctjf83^talk 21:13, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Let me know if you'd like these questions to be asked on the training page. So I mean should I put I want to be an admin to block vandals, or is that overused? Ctjf83^talk 21:22, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok, if you could look over my responses. Ctjf83^talk 21:46, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Can you look over my answers soon, I wanna get nominated soon! :) Ctjf83^talk 00:17, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I hate to be annoying, but are you seeing my post, or are u just too busy trying to be a Bureaucrat? Ctjf83^talk 23:02, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

So how soon till I can be nominated? Ctjf83^talk 23:36, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Come on!!! I'm just about to self nominate Ctjf83Talk 22:53, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Well I think it is useful for game players...is that not a good enough reason to keep? Also, is one poor response to an AfD enough to lose an RfA? If I voted for those, that would hardly be a reason for me to oppose someone Ctjf83Talk 23:32, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I posted a question on the coaching page Ctjf83Talk 04:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Administrator's

Mr. Z-Man, I was wondering how do you become an administrator on Wikipedia? If you could please tell me how on my talk page, I'd greatly appreciate it. chrismaster1 19:52, 13 January 2008

Mr. Z-Man, how do I find out how many edits I've made to Wikipedia? chrismaster1 14:23, 15 January 2008

[edit] User:Turemetalfan

Hi there, this guy has started an edit war with me and reverted more than 3 times, I don't want to continue reverting as I will get blocked here, what action do I take? -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 01:15, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

You can file a report at WP:AN3RR Mr.Z-man 01:18, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

ooh, sorry I just did it on Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#edit_war_beginning_on_list_of_gothic_metal_bands looks like I did it on the wrong place. -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 01:18, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

No, that should be fine. Mr.Z-man 01:19, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:OP

Hey, there's a pretty serious backlog at WP:OP. There's also a backlog at Wikipedia:WikiProject on open proxies/verified users. Can you help? Calvin 1998 ^Talk _Contribs 02:03, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gene Wojciechowski

Hey, could you point me in the right direction on what to do about the Gene Wojciechowski article. There is one IP address that continues to add negative information about Gene Wojciechowski, and that IP address excusively edits the Gene Wojciechowski article. The edit seems to me to give undue weight to a very trivial matter, but perhaps other people would disagree with me. Where would be the best place for me to seek resolution of this (the IP address editor is unresponsive)? Chicken Wing (talk) 03:12, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bleh

You broke the .js again. Fix it, please? DS (talk) 19:49, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for fixing the Al. Ringling Theatre concerning its change to the proper title spelling. I since learned how to use the 'move' as to not break the continuity of the 'history' (and won't do a no-no cut and paste move again). Thanks again.

[edit] Manners

I've seen your editting to Wikipedia:Bots/BetaCommandBot and NFCC 10 c and am rather glad its going up for MfD. But are edit summaries like this [1], even if directed at a bot, appropriate? Would we ever sanction calling a user User:Retarded Idiot? I'm tempted to file a wikietiquette complaint on that user unless there is some background I'm not familiar with. MBisanz ^talk 05:48, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Its certainly inappropriate, but as it is just a bot, I'm not sure its worth a formal complaint. Maybe take it up with the user. Mr.Z-man 05:57, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sock blocks

Thanks for chasing up that SSP report I filed at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Rohit tripathi60. You've reported the two known socks as blocked, but neither seems to be blocked yet. Is that an error, or am I just too impatient? :) Thanks, Technobadger (talk) 09:38, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

They look blocked to me: [2], [3]. I was reclosing all the SSPs that Archtransit did, so I didn't leave those 2 a message on their talk pages to save time, if that's what you checked for. Mr.Z-man 18:22, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I didn't check the logs. Just ignorance, not impatience. :) Pages now tagged. Thanks, Technobadger (talk) 10:07, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of a certian page

I'm requesting that a page that was deleted be un-deleted so that I could continue to work on it and revise it according to Wikipedia's policy standards. The page I requesting un-deleted is: The Shack (book) PLEASE RESPOND ON MY TALK PAGE IF POSSIBLE Thanks for your assistance in this matter. Stefan T. 00:03, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Admin Coaching Re-confirmation

Hello, previously you expressed interest in participating in the Wikipedia:Admin coaching project. We are currently conducting a reconfirmation drive to give coaches the opportunity to update their information and capacity to participate in the project. Please visit Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Status to update your status. Also, please remember to update your capacity (5th table variable) in the form of a fraction (eg. 2/3 means you are currently coaching 2 students, and could accept 1 more student). Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 09:09, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Verifying email permission for image use

Hi, could you explain to me what kind of processes there are for verifying email permission to use an image? I have contacted Christopher Tin about using an image of him in his article, and he is willing to license one of his photos for use here. Is it okay if I simply quote the message from him in the file description? I was thinking this requires a more formal process (OTRS? I still don't know what that's for, but some images have that on there). ALTON .ıl 07:12, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

You should forward the message from the owner to either permissions-commons[at]wikimedia.org or permissions-en[at]wikimedia.org (depending on where you uploaded the image). To make the process go faster, make sure you give a link to the image that you uploaded, include the full email from the owner (mainly for the From: header), and make sure that the statement of permission is clear. If you haven't already uploaded the image, do so first. Mr.Z-man 17:34, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank a lot. I will do asap. ALTON .ıl 04:47, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Histmerge request

• The June 1, 2007 edits and earlier of Dover 200 need to be moved to RoadLoans.com 200. It was cut/paste moved on June 1 by User:Gaeaman787. From June 8th on it was rewritten into a duplicate of what was already at Dover 200 (Spring Race). Thanks -- Cmjc80 (talk) 08:00, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Table of nuclides

Hi, can I ask you to execute my deletion request? Thanks, --Quilbert (talk) 03:03, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, but please delete the talk page, too --Quilbert (talk) 03:25, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] No offense intended

Just to be clear- I don't think you'd do things out of spite, and I didn't meant to suggest I thought that. Not sure where it came from. Oh, wait, maybe I get it now. No, what I was suggesting was that your judgement became clouded, not that you intended any harm. To me this is a big difference. Friday (talk) 18:18, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

You said I was guided more by personal annoyance than rational thought, I'm not sure how else one would read that. Either way, it seems your oppose is basically since we have different opinions on "disruption" and no amount of discussion will change either of our opinions. I still stand by my original opinion, that is that blanket opposes based on no evaluation of the candidate whatsoever are a misuse of the RFA process. This doesn't apply only to Kurt. If Jimbo himself came and opposed every RFA that wasn't a self nom because they were too indecisive and he refused to discuss elsewhere, I would still support a block based on disruption and failure to AGF based on making broad assumptions about their character based on one action. Mr.Z-man 18:44, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I see a very big difference between the kind of misguided opinion a crat might reasonably ignore, and the kind of opinion that we should not even allow an editor to express. A crat, in particular, should be able to recognize this difference. You don't seem to see it, and thus I can't consider you qualified for the job. You even disregarded community consensus on this issue, and I don't know where you're coming from with this "refused to discuss" issue. In my recollection, Kmweber was happy to discuss his opinions, and did so at length. In short, you continue to defend the indefensible. This tells me your judgement on this issue is still clouded by something. Mistakes are certainly allowed. Everyone gets boneheaded ideas sometimes - I know I do. But for a wrong idea to stick around for months is not a good sign. Friday (talk) 20:52, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

One user conduct RFC doesn't create sitewide policy and I'm certainly allowed to have my own opinion. I didn't remove any of Kurt's comments and I politely asked him to stop. Apparently I'm a horrible person for having an opinion that's different from some other people's opinion, and I'm certainly not the only person to hold that opinion. I totally dropped the issue after the 2nd RFC and was willing to let it go, apparently other people aren't and they'd like to shove it in my face that "I was wrong." And given my RFB, apparently we aren't allowed to make mistakes. Sorry for wasting your time Mr.Z-man 20:59, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry to hear it

You would have made a great crat, it's a shame others believe differently. Please try sometime in the future - I'll support you again. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 21:06, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, it certainly wasn't as bad as I thought it might get (though it definitely wasn't as nice as I'd hoped). Maybe if I go insane again in 6 months or so. Mr.Z-man 21:11, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Your first try when fairly well. Try again in 4 months, and you'll probably get lots of supports. Bearian (talk) 21:20, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree, it was with reluctance that I opposed. You will make a great bureaucrat one day. Rudget. 21:25, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I'll support again of course, you've been a great sounding board to me and my newbie questions, but yes I think more experience will move a lot of votes from O to S. MBisanz ^talk 23:34, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I think you're great as well: I hope to support another RfB from you in a few months time. Acalamari 19:42, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion (refbuttons.js)

It would be pretty nice if you could add Template:Cite video game to this script. Thanks, - Master Bigode from SRK.o//(Talk) (Contribs) 03:03, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Refbuttons script is currently not working at all for me IrisKawling (talk) 22:56, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

@Master Bigode: I tried to keep it limited to the ones that would have the most uses, and ones that already had an image made for the button.

@IrisKawling: Have you bypassed your browser cache? If so, what browser do you use? Mr.Z-man 00:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Firefox, and yes, I've bypassed. I have several other scripts functioning properly, however refbuttons refuses to work. IrisKawling (talk) 06:44, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Is there anything in the error console? (Tools -> Error Console) Mr.Z-man 06:49, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Nothing. Could it possibly be interfering with other scripts I'm using that add tabs to the top toolbar? ie Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Add purge to tabs and Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Easy db IrisKawling (talk) 07:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[4] Works for me in Firefox/2.0.0.12, not sure what the problem is. You could try moving the importScript for it higher up so it loads sooner. Mr.Z-man 08:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Huggle User Category

Hi there. I have seen that you use huggle by the fact that you have automatically updated the huggle white list(it does this when closing huggle). I was wondering if you would add the category [[Category:Wikipedians who use Huggle]] to your user page so that it fills out and we know who actually uses huggle. If you do not want to you do not have to. I am also sorry if i have already talked to you about this or you no longer use huggle but i sent it to everyone that has edited the page since mid January. I hope we can start to fill out this category. If you would like to reply to this message then please reply on my talk page as i will probably not check here again. Thanks. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 18:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
