User talk:Walkazo/Archive 14

Status: Between volunteering, work, school and writing, I don't always have as much time to edit as I'd like, but I do what I can. And, if you have any questions or concerns or need help with something, fire away and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Please
stop your external links. It is a SMW page you were linking to, so why put an external link to an SMW page? The adress was http://www.mariowiki.com/, so dont do an external link next time. Use the wiki link for a wiki page. Unshy Guy (talk)


 * I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. - Walkazo 11:26, 21 November 2013 (EST)


 * He has a record of being pointless, just so you know.
 * Oh, I know. - Walkazo 21:18, 21 November 2013 (EST)

Changing username
So does that mean I can have one more change??

Crapfully yours, (for now)


 * Yep, you're allowed two name changes per year. - Walkazo 22:14, 26 November 2013 (EST)

Re:Autopatrol
Curious, but what exactly went wrong with the process? 20:00, 11 December 2013 (EST)

Re: Autopatrolled Rank

 * Sure will try. Your response on Baby Luigi's talk page already answered any questions I had, and yeah it's definitely being put to better use. Funny how removing the rank created to make patrolling edits easier makes it much easier for the administrative team. :D GBAToad (talk) 08:05, 12 December 2013 (EST)

Re: Autopatrolled Rank
Very well, I understand. To be honest, I'm not that active on the wiki anymore anyway, so that one occasional autopatrolled edit doesn't really make a difference. Thanks for your trust! 09:16, 12 December 2013 (EST)

Question
How do you know what the timestamp to put in for the new stub template is? Is it to do with what revision it is, or time of day?
 * Just use  and it automatically creates a timestamp giving the stub one week from that moment. As long as the template's placed on the stub the same day, that's all that needs to be done: the specific hour and minute don't matter. - Walkazo 20:37, 20 December 2013 (EST)

Proposal
I read your comments on my proposal, and I agree with you. I wasn't aware of the inconsistency and how the header text would look bare without such information on some articles. So I guess the best thing to do is to delete it. 06:20, 26 December 2013 (EST)
 * Done. Also, just so you know, you need to set up the signature stuff so that the raw coding isn't pasted onto pages. Help:Signature explains how to do it. - Walkazo 19:48, 26 December 2013 (EST)

Hello
‎193.202.110.184 is vandalizing my talk. Please block them.


 * I already did - that's why I logged in in the first place =) - Walkazo 17:41, 27 December 2013 (EST)


 * Thank you. I can only get so many insults =)


 * Don't think of it that way: it's just another kind of spam. - Walkazo 17:49, 27 December 2013 (EST)


 * Oh, I know- I'm the owner of my own wiki where more than 20 spammers appear a day.

Zakipaul
Hello again, Walkazo. The user Zakipaul keeps creating the same fanmade pages over and over again, even after receiving a warning and a last warning. Please keep an eye on him. Thank you.


 * I already blocked him. - Walkazo 19:22, 28 December 2013 (EST)


 * OK then, sorry for being too late.

TPP
Is it possible to move it?
 * Yeah, go ahead. It's early enough that you can still do it yourself. Don't bother archiving it on the proposal page or anything. - Walkazo 14:58, 2 January 2014 (EST)

chantalolive
that account was created a minute ago and the person created there talkpage advertising something indicating that they are a spammer

sorry my english no good but I dont want to create one account I just read the pages here

Whilst I'm not sure it's spam, it could just be a link to their personal website, as seen by the web blog. Though it is very odd that a lot of accounts are being created with names that could be actual names and so there may be a connection.


 * @anon: Thanks for the heads-up. It was their own talk page that they created so they indeed haven't broken any rules, but we'll keep an eye on the account to make sure it doesn't start spamming. - Walkazo 18:36, 2 January 2014 (EST)

i speak french the website is in french and it is advertizing e cigarets which are just as bad for your helth as real cigarets they are trying to advertize a product that is bad for you


 * And trying to pass it off as architecture and/or a blog about song lyrics. Yeah, this is not something we need on the wiki. I will block the account and delete the page. Thanks again for bringing all this to my attention. - Walkazo 19:05, 2 January 2014 (EST)

similar accounts
i also noticed on the creation log that some accounts with real names are being created do you think they are related in any way?

and please dont add the unsined because i dont no how to sign coments


 * I have to add the "unsigned" template, otherwise it's hard to keep track of conversations. If you add ~ to the end of your comments, that should create an automatic signature. Anyway, it is possible that those other accounts are indeed attempts to spam, but as long as they don't actually do anything after creation, it's nothing to worry about (and usually, if they were going to do something, they'd do it right away). - Walkazo 19:52, 2 January 2014 (EST)

i just created an account i don't know why thogh because i do not no where to start my english no good WooftheChomp (talk) 20:20, 2 January 2014 (EST)

spam
no need to worry someone alredy dealed with it WooftheChomp (talk) 20:38, 2 January 2014 (EST)

but i have a feeling that these accounts with real names are being created by the same person WooftheChomp (talk) 20:41, 2 January 2014 (EST) because another one was just created


 * Unfortunately, spam accounts like that are an inevitable part of the wiki experience, but it's nothing we can't handle. As for what you do with an account, you can use it to alert admins of problems or even undo bad edits yourself if you see trouble; if you know the name of an enemy in French, you can add it to the "Names in other languages" section; if you're reading and you see little mistakes here and there, you can fix them; and if you simply want to read and not edit, you can do that too: it's completely your choice. - Walkazo 23:25, 2 January 2014 (EST)

i guess i can only look for bad edits because every game i have playd it has the enemy and someone has alredy aded the french name so i dont no what enemys do not have there french name added, but since they are out there i coud ad them but i do not have the game they belong to WooftheChomp (talk) 11:34, 3 January 2014 (EST)
