Thank you![edit]

Hi there! Just a note to say "thanks very much" for your support on my recent, successful RfA. I appreciate your support, and will be doing my best to use the tools carefully and for the betterment of the encyclopedia. Tony Fox (arf!) 06:19, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! Acalamari 23:28, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm...[edit]

...I can't call you "bella" anymore? :( *Cremepuff 222* 00:42, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, well, that was a reference to my alternate account, Bellatrix Kerrigan. I decided I would be better off leaving that reference out and stick with just the mention of the account. :) Acalamari 02:45, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Man, you're good[edit]

Thanks for protecting July 18. You are all over my RPPs! Keep up the good work! J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 23:40, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, and thanks for the compliment! Whenever I've seen your name at RFPP, I've seen an accurate report, so I am happy to answer your requests. :) For the record, I decided on a month's worth of semi-protection on July 18 rather than indefinite, but, as I said on RFPP, we'll see how it goes after the month. :) Acalamari 23:45, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, no problem, and thanks! I don't make a ton of reports, but I usually check the history for the past 100 or 250 edits for reverts. And temporary is fine, I just wanted to make indef an option. Cheers! J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 00:24, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you're pleased with the decision. :) Acalamari 02:38, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year![edit]

Thanks for the Christmas and New Year greetings! I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year as well! :) Acalamari 18:00, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Impersonator[edit]

Hi Acalamari.

Somebody has impersonated your account on af.wikipedia. Regards and Merry Christmas. —DerHexer (Talk) 23:39, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for telling me. :) I still need have that impersonator on the Italian Wikipedia sorted out so I can take over that account. Hope you had a good Christmas. Regards. Acalamari 18:05, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thanks[edit]

Great success!
Thank you for supporting my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 53-3-2. Special thanks goes to Shalom for both the suggestion and the nomination. I'm honored by the trust that the community has shown in me, and will do my very best as an administrator. Thanks again! faithless (^speak) 08:49, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You have an impersonator[edit]

In another alphabet at least. User:Alpha charlie alpha lima alpha mike alpha romeo india spells your username in NATO phonetic alphabet. bibliomaniac 1 5 23:46, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, I was coming to tell you the same thing. Found it amusing. Also, archive your talk page!! Haha. Lara❤Love 01:37, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, responded here and here. :) Acalamari 18:19, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Methinks a hard block is needed to stop this disruption. bibliomaniac 1 5 18:25, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Already been done several times unfortunately. The user either uses a different IP, or just waits until the account creation block and the autoblock wear off. Acalamari 18:29, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well. Now I get the honor of having my username spelled out phonetically. bibliomaniac 1 5 19:06, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it! :) Acalamari 19:08, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An Administrator is I![edit]

Adventurer! The Council has identified a number of strange occurrences (such as "vandals" and "articles for deletion") in the surrounding wilderness. The Council would check it out, but they have important Councily-type things. But never fear: brave adventurers known as "sysops" roam the lands!

Thank you for your support in my quest to become a sysop. Although I am now wielding the keys to my very own Bitchin' Meatcar, I promise to uphold the laws of the land, martini in hand, in a way that would make Saint Sneaky Pete proud. I will do my best to be a Jack of Several Trades (although I may be a Master of Nuns). I promise to Heart Canadia. And I will make it my goal to Make War, Not ... er, Wait, Never Mind.

I am glad to serve my guild, the League of Wikipedians. If I can be of any assistance, or you have any questions, suggestions, or criticisms in the future, please let me know. And if you are at a loss for what any of the above actually means, see this website.

Thanks again.

Wikipedia:New admin school/Protecting[edit]

Hey! Just seen your post to Wikipedia talk:New admin school/Protecting - I was wondering if you could write a section on salting pages given that we can now do it by just clicking protect? I'd suggest using Wikipedia:New admin school/Protecting/Salt as an example - it's probably best keeping to the same format as we have to protecting articles. Anyway, it'd be good if you could do it :-) - thanks. Ryan Postlethwaite 04:35, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy to write it. :) That was one of the reasons I mentioned it on the talk page. Just give me a day or two, and I'll have the page ready. :) Acalamari 04:37, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bril! I knew I could count on you ;-) Ryan Postlethwaite 04:42, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Self-nom over at WT:RFA[edit]

Could you have a look at the self-nom section (somewhere near the bottom)? It'd be great for a second opinion, and seeing as you're the most active there, I thought I'd ask you. Regards, Rudget . 19:42, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm writing something now. :) Thanks. Acalamari 19:49, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year, moves[edit]

Hi Acalamari, I made a mistake, and my talk page doesn't need to be archived yet (it's not so big). Would you mind reprotecting it (if you need to know why, ask me or Alison privately)? Thanks. Thanks also for your greeting! I hope you have a happy new year too! --Kyoko 03:22, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your talk page has been re-protected from moves. :) I think I know why it has to be protected that way, don't worry. Anyway, yes, I had a good New Year, and I hope your birthday and New Year were good too. Best wishes. Acalamari 03:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! I know you're a trustworthy vandal-fighter, so I knew I could count on you to use rollback properly. You also have the honor of being my first person to change the rights of. :) Acalamari 00:22, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. :) Acalamari 02:48, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RFR[edit]

Looks like you'll be getting quite a few of these - but thank you for granting my Rollbacker status. Bizarrely, the first Recent change I checked after you granted the rights was a 12-edit vandalism spree on Boy Meets World, which - much to my surprise - I was able to easily rollback. Thanks again, UltraExactZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 04:26, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, heh. :) I'm glad you're putting the rollback tool to its proper use. Good luck. Acalamari 17:31, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Health & Safety[edit]

This is an article I found this morning via watching Lupin's Live Spellcheck. I find that often it leads me to articles that contain a bunch of gibberish, but are on the whole good articles. This article, however, appears to be (from my side), complete gibberish. I'm not sure if it's really valid for CSD, or Prod, or if I should give the user more time to turn it into a valid article, since it was first created about half an hour ago.

Based on reading the author's talk page, it seems (and this is admittedly my opinion) that he goes out of his way on the paranoia about certain health-related topics.

Advice? --Mike Vitale 18:04, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weird...I'd assume good faith for now, just to see if the user fixes it, and if nothing changes in a couple of hours, take it to WP:MFD. Acalamari 18:09, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome[edit]

Thank you for your welcome notice. --A long way to go? (talk) 18:28, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. :) Acalamari 18:29, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

Just one minute to grant that request? Remarkable! It's trippy to see the "rollback" button after the links after all this time without it. Well, thanks. Everyking (talk) 19:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't always take one minute to grant the request: some users are known to be trustworthy enough to grant it immediately while others take more time to research them. In your case, I knew you were trustworthy to use rollback from both the fact that you were an effective admin during your time as a sysop, from my past observations of you, and because I don't believe you'll ever be abusive: I can trust you. Good luck, Everyking. :) Acalamari 19:06, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Miranda 2[edit]

Hi. What was the point of deleting that page? Couldn't the nominee have just declined there? Thanks! — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 19:08, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Miranda had declined the request, and since declined rquests are normally deleted, I asked her if she wanted it deleted, and she did. I can link to the discussion if you wish. Acalamari 19:10, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick response. I guess the bigger question is "why is it that 'declined rquests are normally deleted'?" It would seem to me that closing them with links to declinations would be more transparent. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 19:17, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there isn't any point in keeping them around, and in the log for Miranda's second RfA, it will show that I deleted it, with a reason for deletion. Also, if the second RfA was closed, and it never happened, and then Miranda's 3rd nomination was created later, it looks like Miranda went through two previous RfAs when in reality she had only gone through one. Acalamari 19:20, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback[edit]

Thank you. Do I have to do anything in my preferences, or will the feature just show up when I look at edit histories? Corvus cornix_talk 19:23, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. :) No, you don't need to change anything in your preferences. Acalamari 19:27, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thanks. I ran a test, and everything seems cool. Corvus cornix_talk 19:37, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, I had a similar situation when I was made an admin. One minute, the buttons aren't there, then, the next page loads, and wow! Buttons! :) I've seen you around many times, as well as interacted with you, and know you are a user I can trust with rollback; therefore, I was happy to grant your request. Good luck. Acalamari 19:40, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you as well! — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 20:20, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! I looked through your reverts, and they looked good, including one where you reverted someone, realized you'd made an error with that error, and immediately reverted it back. :) Good luck. Acalamari 20:21, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for granting me rollback rights, Acalamari. I know I don't spend a lot of time vandal fighting but every little bit helps, right? Thanks again. --Kyoko 21:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, heh, you're welcome, but it wasn't me who gave it to you: it was Moreschi, though I would have gladly given it to you as well. You'll want to thank him instead. :) Acalamari 21:56, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, my mistake. I took a glance at your activity logs and misread them. Thanks anyway. P.S. If you do change your signature, please don't make it blink. --Kyoko 21:59, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's all right. :) With my signature, how do you like this? (I dislike flashly signatures too, don't worry.) Acalamari 22:01, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To conserve section headers: Thanks from me too! --barneca (talk) 22:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. :) From my past observations of you, I don't believe you'll abuse rollback. :) Good luck. Acalamari 22:48, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not fast enough! :) Thanks for the non-archive, though. After using it about half a dozen times, I must say, I'm not sure what I find more puzzling: the vehemence that some people have against granting it to everyone, or the vehemence that some people have against having it taken away... --barneca (talk) 18:27, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I saw that. :) You're welcome for the non-archive too. If you ever want rollback returned, you know where to go. :) With the current discussions, I don't see why they're necessary: RfR has been functioning fine, in my opinion, and I've been one of the most active people there. Acalamari 18:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the Rollback as well, i'll use it to remove vandalism from IP user's if i find any. →Dust Rider→ 20:13, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome for rollback. :) Acalamari 20:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have i really got the rollback feature, as requested. →Dust Rider→ 20:21, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your sig[edit]

Dude, your sig is really boring! Shall I make it look really cool? Majorly (talk) 21:45, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the offer, but I've always liked the simple signature. :) Funnily enough, my type of signature has now become rare due to the MediaWiki change that adds the talk page to the signature. I dislike really flashy signatures; they're annoying. Maybe I'll add italics to my signature, however, like your talk page link. :) I'll see how that looks. Acalamari 21:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That signature looks fine to me in an understated way. With my own signature, there's a link to my talk page, but you have to discover it (hence the different colour at the end). You might consider doing something similar, though I'd prefer it if you don't copy my style exactly. --Kyoko 22:07, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I found the talk page link in your signature. :) No, I won't copy your design: I'm not even going to have a talk page link anyway, though thank you for the suggestion. :) Thanks for the feedback. Acalamari 22:09, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hillary[edit]

Thanks! I am new to this whole admin thing and was concerned not to over-protect the article, hoping most of the fuss would die down within the day. I have no objection to the extension and will keep an eye on it to see it could be safely lifted. If it gets a mention in the "in the news" section of the main page, this may not be for a while. Thanks for letting me know. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 00:27, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! In my experience with recent deaths, I've found there's almost always heavy vandalism to the articles about them. With protecting pages, don't worry, most protections require a week or two. :) Acalamari 00:30, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

3RR[edit]

Dreadstar couldn't count that day. | My discussion with AuburnPilot gives the best summary of it I can give ... in short, Dreadstar counted an edit as a revert that was not, and treated constructive editing as edit warring.Kww (talk) 00:40, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine then, though I will kindly remind you that rollback is for vandalism reverting only, although I don't think I need to tell you that. Thanks for the explanation. Acalamari 00:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks![edit]

Are you seriously trying to help?[edit]

Hi there! I'm not a wikipedia member, but I've tried in the past to add the helpline link on "Delhi University" page. You have removed it on both occassions. We have worked very hard to create a website for people to ask questions related to the University. It is a non commercial project, money being used to develop the infrastructure further. Please try and understand the importance of this for the hundreds of thousands of students, admission seekers who can't find appropriate answers on the official website. We have helped over 5 thousand students in the last 3 months. We will remove the link ourselves if it is not helpful for students anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.111.35.196 (talk) 18:09, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To my knowledge, I only removed a link one time from that article, see here, and that was because it was added by a user who had a username like the link, and so I removed the link, and then blocked the user, as the username violated our username policy.

Hi, the whole unit is happy to see the link back. My apologies if I misunderstood that you had removed it. Take care and it's great to see a young guy like you helping information seekers :)

I only removed it once, and that was because, at the time, I thought it was someone trying to advertise. It seems I was wrong about that. Thank you for the compliment. Best wishes. Acalamari 20:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sure...[edit]

Make it look easy. Score one for me on the stupidity scale. :) Kafziel ^Talk 18:19, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, ha! :) Don't worry, I went and changed Barneca's rights from (none) to (none) after you had already changed their rights, see here. :) Acalamari 18:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ha ha... okay, I guess we're even. Kafziel ^Talk 18:29, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It certainly seems so. :) Acalamari 18:32, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Roolback[edit]

Thanks so much never spotted how to do it - its not going to happen to me unless guys are gonna make a stand. Thank you so much sir Bpeps (talk) 20:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome for my help, and thank you for fixing the request, but unfortunately, the admin who answered your request didn't grant you rollback (for now). The reason for this was that you only had about 45 edits. However, looking at your edits, they seem to be good quality. Might I suggest you read Wikipedia:Vandalism to read about vandalism, do a bit of vandal-fighting, and maybe re-apply for rollback in a couple of weeks? It's up to you: I believe you'd benefit from having rollback after gaining a bit more experience. Acalamari 20:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thank you - I know I wasn't liked - mayed he only saw 45 edits and didn't know I can do that too with TW you know. I have some good articles which have stood in wikipedia and some people have contributed to them :-). There is no rule for roolback, I have good standing, not so many edits but enough for TW or to write my first articles. Bpeps (talk) 20:23, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So cool thank you so much - make sure you check on me and I am doing OK - thanks Bpeps (talk) 20:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

no some User:Merovigian said I cuss too much. I ask the guy I cuss to explain if it was a joke or real blackmail or I don't know. I feel like make myself so much crying - you honestly can't believe. But making vandalism is not the same as making noise on a user page who helped me. Bpeps (talk) 21:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I saw that. I kindly suggest you do wait some time before applying for rollback again: I do not believe it will be a good idea to apply right now. Acalamari 21:33, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much[edit]

Thank you for the rollback tool! JetLover (talk) (Report a mistake) 22:40, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. :) I trust you to use it correctly. Good luck. :) Acalamari 22:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute[edit]

Hey, I have a request, and you can handle it faster if I put it here than at RPP. Editors keep removing an AfD tag from Sorudo, when the debate hasn't closed yet. Would you mind full-protecting it, or closing the debate at AfD? I promise not to edit the article if it is fully protected, that would be a cheap shot to the editors. Thanks, J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 22:46, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, it's cool. J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 23:09, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello J-stan, I would have fully-protected the article, but unfortunately, I was offline at the time. At least it's been sorted now anyway. :) Acalamari 23:20, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback[edit]

I hadn't heard about this. It'll save me a couple of clicks when I rv bored middle schoolboys at Sodium. Cheers. Gwen Gale (talk) 04:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the Rollback! Some of the sites that I watch get vandalised almost daily! It will be most covenient. Amandajm (talk) 05:20, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're both welcome! :) Acalamari 17:06, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the rollback![edit]

Thanks a lot, man. I was actually thinking of becoming active again, and this is really going to help! Thanks again ;-) --Agüeybaná 15:41, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

		For tirelessly making sure that vandals everywhere are reverted by granting rollback rights, I award you the Tireless Contributor Barnstar. Great work, man! --Agüeybaná 15:41, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. :) Thank you for the Barnstar as well! :) Acalamari 17:05, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
