US House electionsNot vandalism. Inserting a fair balance message. 24.164.148.158 23:30, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
I've refrained from deleting and have only added that the Democrats perceived weakness on homeland security could be an election issue. This is as true as anything else but obviously does not fit into your agenda.
I feel my addition is being deleted by 8bitjake for no valid reason. There is no vandalism going on here!24.164.148.158 00:09, 16 February 2006 (UTC) You'll have to take that up with 8bitJake, I have little knowledge of US politics (I'm in the UK). I only got into this because your edit summary a while back looked dodgy ("I disagree with certain facts. I'm entitled"), as did a mass removal of content as well as 8bitJake's protests, so I reverted as blanking vandalism. CaptainVindaloo 00:20, 16 February 2006 (UTC) Regarding 213.249.155.240Hi there, a couple of weeks ago you blocked User:213.249.155.240 as an open proxy, however that IP is one of the servers at the East Midlands Broadband Consortium in the UK, serving schools - and only schools - in that region, not an open proxy. I'll admit that theres a lot of vandalism coming from there, but there are plenty of people wanting to make useful contributions too, me for example. It works in a similar way to AOL - including jumping from one proxy to another on every page load. Any chance of just hour long blocks (i.e., for the rest of the lesson) for that IP, or the EMBC group?. Sorry about these idiots causing so much damage. Thanks, CaptainVindaloo 17:43, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks..for covering my user page for me. Cheers and take care! Anger22 14:15, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
ThanksI'm not dyslexic, I just have bad typing fingers. :) User:Zoe|(talk) 18:54, 30 May 2006 (UTC) GMLResponded on userscripts project talk page.Voice-of-AllTalk 14:27, 31 May 2006 (UTC) talking pants and IP talk thingamabobSo, I was just testing how to edit stuff on that one dude's page. I don't know who he is aside from a random dude from the internet, so I was about to erase the silly message when I'd figured it out. Anyway, blocking this IP would be tragic. Like as tragic as Paris and Nicole not being friends anymore. Pardon my weirdness, but I don't understand what a sandbox is and I don't get why I got a strange warning doohickey from ye. --cheeses of nazareth 76.1.65.56 09:31, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Still, I was going to delete it. I just didn't know how or what a sandbox was. I picked a user randomly and tested it out. Sorry. BTW, love the poultry. 76.1.65.56 09:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the help, dude. I'm new to this site and tend to type randomness when I test stuff out. Gracias.76.1.65.56 10:06, 12 June 2006 (UTC) Thank YouThanks for reverting the vandalism to my userpage. That was very cruel of him to think that I like young asian women. But...in your fixing it, you didn't quite get it right. I think my current way of putting it is a bit more entertaining. And yes, I did get the idea from the vandal. Enjoy. -^demon[yell at me][ubx_war_sux] /21:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
PromotionsI've noticed your sig remains CaptainVindaloo, despite your recent promotions and ascendance to the peerage. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to address you as HisGraceTheDukeVindaloo?
PS - I can't believe you wore that battered breastplate and those shabby boots into WP. This is a formal setting, and Full Dress Uniforms are required, complete with tights and plums. Please dress appropriately in the future! Doc Tropics 19:20, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Thank you YourGrace, keep up the good work and I'll see to it that you get an increase in your plumes allowance :) Doc Tropics 20:57, 17 June 2006 (UTC) Inline CitationsThanks for cleaning up Fused glass and changing to inline citations. That's exactly what I had wanted to do, but I hadn't figured out how yet :) By reviewing the history I was able to see how you did it, so hopefully I'll be able to do it properly from now on. You do good work CaptainVindaloo and I appreciate your help. Thanks again and good luck with your exams. Doc Tropics 16:25, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks!
--Pilot|guy 22:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
more thanksThanks again for keeping an eye (or monitor) on my work at Fused glass. I noticed you made a significant improvement to my language and I really appreciate, especially since I know you're busy. Speaking of which...how are your exams going? Good luck! Doc Tropics 23:02, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi again. I hope your exams went well. Is it possible you could help me on another article? I'm hoping that Higgins Glass might make it into DYK but there is a time-limit involved (I think 72 hours), and it would really benefit from your attention. I hate to impose on someone who's already done so much, but I don't know anyone else on WP with your skills at editing. Does flattery get me anywhere? If so I can pile it on much thicker :) --Doc Tropics 18:24, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Interestingly enough, I have a lot of practical experience with glassworking, but I'm somewhat lacking on the Chemistry side of it. For this article it won't matter, but I'm actually addressing exactly that issue in Fused glass and Dichroic glass. Feel free to check those out and either add or edit as you deem appropriate. I must say, it's been nice to have you 'covering my back' as it were, and I think we could make a good team :) --Doc Tropics 18:40, 27 June 2006 (UTC) I just added the CSM link to Higgins glass, but it's all buggered up...Doc Tropics 19:56, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
You earned this
That was fun! Let's do it again sometime :) --Doc Tropics 17:40, 29 June 2006 (UTC) Your DYK nomination for Higgins Glass was successfulThanks for your contributions! ++Lar: t/c 17:28, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Willy on Wheels, etc.OMG! I just read your last edit on Talk:Higgins Glass and damn near sprayed a mouthful of coffee across my keyboard from laughing too hard. You twit! --Doc Tropics 19:07, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
I wasn't running down your idea, it just caused an inconvenient humor eruption. I actually like the Template:Vandalised on Wheels! idea. BTW - Like many American males I often have trouble expressing "positive" feelings...coming from me "you twit" is practically a term of endearment :) --Doc Tropics 19:21, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm finding DYK very attractive for two reasons:
OctopiHi. If you look on the octopus page there is more info on this. Some dictionaries consider "octopi" ok, while others specifically don't. Personally I consider it a hypercorrection in the same way as "virii" or "penii" is wrong. Fragglet 12:52, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Credit where it's dueAnd we're offI started adding content to Forbes State Forest, Pennsylvania today. Unfortunately I'm having a bad allergy attack; my head is plugged and my brain is fuzzy. I won't be able to work as fast as we did on Higgins Glass; I expect my responses will be slow and only marginally coherent. I think I used the word "area' about a zillion times in 3 paragraphs. I'm going to drop a note to Johntex about this article because he has a great knack for adding images and right now it's just a plain block of text. Happy editing! --Doc Tropics 16:53, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your help and good wishes. The bit about "Concentric stone circles" is how they describe natural circles with a specific frost-and-erosion pattern. I just put the name in there as a placeholder; I'll fill it in with detail as soon as my head clears up. Have a fun weekend :) --Doc Tropics 20:59, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
I've just finished adding the rest of the info that I wanted to get in, including a description of how the stone rings are formed; I hope it makes sense. I've got 2 images to add, but I'm waiting for clarification of copyright issues (they both came from a U.S. gov site) It might also benefit from more external links, and of course, lots of clean-up. I'll continue to twiddle with it. --Doc Tropics 18:56, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Oh geeze, I wish you hadn't mentioned UFO's, now the Cabal will have to wipe your memory. Aw crap, I just said it too...--Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 23:16, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Alas, the image was a photo from the state gov which means I had to yank it. I guess U.S. gov images are Public Domain, but state gov's are not :( --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 04:08, 3 July 2006 (UTC) G'day! I'm pretty much done adding to Forbes article now, but it doesn't seem as interesting as I'd hoped. Do you think this is even worth a DYK nom? Any suggestions for another project (assuming you'd like to try again)? --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 14:34, 3 July 2006 (UTC) No idea, sorry. Try raiding Category:Stubs. CaptainVindaloo t c e 14:39, 3 July 2006 (UTC) to go with your sandwichThanks for adding to my userpage. You're getting quite a collection of snacks :) --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 04:05, 3 July 2006 (UTC) Cheers! *crunch* CaptainVindaloo t c e 14:20, 3 July 2006 (UTC) DYKGosh, thanks for the sandwich CV, you know how hungry I get after expanding an article :) You've helped me out a lot recently, and I've learned a lot from working with you. So what can I do for you in return? Is there an article you'd me to help with, or possibly an editor you'd like me to mock? Anything, just name it :) --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 22:37, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
SWAT3 + MiscI'm not familiar with the game but I'd be happy to work on the article with you. I'll do some research so that I have at least some bacis knowledge to get started with. I really like the idea of working on articles with the goal of improving their status! It's going to be a long project though, and I'm about to go out of town for a week on vacation. I'll try to brush up on the subject and be ready to dive in when I get back; sound good? On a somewhat disenheartening note, I'm currently defending myself against another editor's accusation that I threatened them. This would probably be funny (and it all started with a joke) except that the accusation was made in a public forum at the Village Pump.I care enough about my reputation in the WP community that I'm pretty disturbed by this. You and I have worked together a couple of times now; can you imagine me threatening someone? If you want to try following this rather silly series of threads part of it is on my Talkpage in the section "OUTSTANDING!" and the accusation appears there, as well as at Wikipedia: Village pump (assistance) under the heading "What to do if one suspects a threat has been made against them". It can be hard to follow the thread so I'll tell you what kicked it off: Aeon1006 and I had been involved in an AfD that was very controversial (we were both voting for deletion) and when it finally closed I put a note on his Talkpage that said "This article needs to be put down with a stake through its heart and holy wafers in its mouth." User:Tiamut, who had opposed the deletion, saw this comment and interpreted it as being both an offense against his religion and a specific personal threat against himself. Needless to say, I was surprised by his accusation on my Talkpage, and shocked that he posted to the Village Pump. I know that my sense of humor is a bit questionable at times, but this seems like a pretty severe reaction! I've created a section on my Talkpage called "Critiques" for people to eomment about this situation. If you're interested, I'd appreciate your input there. Thanks --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 17:25, 6 July 2006 (UTC) Actually, the whole situation was resolved amicably this afternoon. Now I can get back to editing :) --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 21:18, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Some kinds of behavior are so obviously unacceptable that the miscreant cannot possibly be acting in good faith. This is one of them. In which case (this case involved death threats to another user, and gross racial slurs) there's no need to wear the nicey-nicey hat. This user (65.138.71.118 (talk · contribs))was coming from a dialup concentrator in Louisville, Kentucky: if they persist, we can apply short term range-blocks to the whole concentrator, if need be. -- The Anome 20:57, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
OK, let's widen that a bit: I see that they are also coming in from nas7.louisville1.ky.us.da.qwest.net., as well as nas6. So: let's widen that to 65.138.68.0/22 to cover the 1024 Qwest IP addresses in ...68, ...69, ...70, and ...71. -- The Anome 21:21, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Oh yeah, the Loadout image looks great, especially after I click to enlarge. Mostly I've just puttered with the article so far, but I'll bet we could add some content with a bit more history (how it differs from previous versions), maybe some sales figures (if available), possibly a brief quote from a notable reviewer, etc. I'll see what I can dig up, but you probably have more resources than I do. Cheers! --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 21:26, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
I had to clear my cache, but now the first image I see is "engaging a suspect" and the second is "Loadout"; the third image remains the same. It was not showing properly until I did a manual refresh :) --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 02:39, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Didn't you once have a message template about fans adding cruft to the RS pages, or is that a false memory? Hyenaste (tell) 20:10, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
I know it's not in "article condition" yet. I wasn't completely done adding information about it. I just had to add some references from Runescape's main page. In the mean time, I will rv back and make some more changes.--Ed 19:45, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: On The MoonYes, sorry about that. I did try uploading a new version of the existing pictures, but everytime I did so, it didn't seem to work properly, so I instead just decided to upload completely new versions. If you have any suggestions as to why it might not have worked, that would be helpful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ERT (talk • contribs) .

Thanks for the Revert.Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my image. I'm just wondering however if you could find out why he/she vandalised it. According to one of the edits her/his username is ranger 55151. If you can pm him/her and ask about the reason for doing it, I iwll be very grateful. J.J.Sagnella 16:28, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, this will NOT, happen againOne of my students once again vandilised this site, as a precaution, our students will no longer be allowed to visit Wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.155.216.42 (talk • contribs) . Half page deletionThis edit. No, it was just that Exarion decided to move it to it's own page at Runescape history and development.

re RS revertYes, that seems to be right. I haven't played RS in almost a year now, so I just can't catch up with the updates. But when I also checked the editing made to RS, the text did seem to make it more "crufty".--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 02:14, 6 November 2006 (UTC) Adminship...Hey, captain If ur interested id put u on the RFA list.

Hmm...Well, no page is ever going to be protected permanently, and that includes RuneScape (btw, I'm ex-RS player lol). However, I didn't see why there were two templates at first (one at top of the page and one at the corner), but I guess since you have that little button on the top corner, it's fine now.
