Rollback

After discussing granting you rollback rights again with another user, I have decided to give you another chance and enabled the rollback flag on your account. Please understand that rollback is a tool that is only to be used to combat vandalism. It should never be used in content disputes or to further your personal point of view. Lastly, understand that any abuse or misuse of the tool, regardless of it being intentional or not, can/will result in it being revoked once again. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 06:07, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for trusting me ~ Dwayne Flanders was here! ^talk 06:23, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

AWB

Hi Dwayne. You recently requested that you be granted the ability to use AWB here. However, because you have fewer than 500 mainspace edits (at the moment, you have 435), you will need to give a reason as to why you need it next to your request on the page. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 12:06, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, i just left a comment under the request, and it hasn't been done or not done, so i figured that they wanted me to respond so they can make their decision. Dwayne was here! ^talk 03:23, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Capitol

Thanks for contributing your photo, File:Washington D.C. Trip 002.jpg. However I've restored the previous photo to the article. I think that readers are better served with an image that is less blurry. If you can take a night picture of the capitol using a tripod (or placing the camera on a stable surface) then that'd be great.   Will Beback  talk  21:49, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Okay, i agree. Dwayne was here! ^talk 21:55, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Altered speedy deletion rationale: Valerio Scarani

Hello Dwayne, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I deleted Valerio Scarani, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided. The speedy deletion criteria are extremely narrow and specific, and the process is more effective if the correct criterion is used. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 18:51, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Dwayne was here! ^talk 19:44, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Revert

Hi, sorry about the revert; I accidentally hit revert while looking at my watchlist from my iPod. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 20:13, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Its okay! We all make mistakes Dwayne was here! ^talk 20:17, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Image history

Hey Dwayne, I noticed that in this edit, you seem to want to get rid of the other image by uploading a new one. File history is just like the history of articles; when an edit is made, it overlaps the previous version, but it is still accessible by going through the history. You will have to request an admin to delete the history of the file if you want it to be hidden. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 19:33, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thank you SuperHamster. I was kind of confused a bit here. I am going to request that Alison delete's the photo with me in the fake nerdy glasses. Note to Alison: its on this image file history please delete it for me, Thanks ! Dwayne was here! ^talk 20:04, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Yep -  Done :) - Alison ^❤ 05:21, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Thx! Dwayne was here! ^talk 22:18, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Archiving your talk page

Dwayne, the 'bot takes up to 48 hours before archiving for the first time - if you want it to do it for you, give it a chance! I find it useful to let the 'bot archive my talk page, as it means that I don't have to do anything about it myself! -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 21:04, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Phantomsteve, i was looking for a bot that archives monthly but it seems it only archives 1 day after a discussion hasn't been answered. I want a bot that will archive around the dates 30-31 at the end of the month. Dwayne was here! ^talk 21:56, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Actually, you can set it to archive a thread x days after the last contribution to that thread, not just 1 day - for example I archive any threads that have had no replies in the last 7 days. However, I don't think any of the archiving 'bots can archive on a specific day of the month, which is what you seem to want. Incidently, for future reference I don't require a talkback, as I always watchlist any talk page I leave a message on! -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 22:14, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Okay, the one you have seems great..is there anyway i can get the code for it? Dwayne was here! ^talk 22:19, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Just copy this code (I'm assuming you want a simple Archive1, Archive2, etc - well Archive3 onwards, as you already have 1 & 2!)

{{User:MiszaBot/config
|maxarchivesize = 100K
|counter = 3
|algo = old(7d)
|archive = User talk:Dwayne/Archive%(counter)d
}}

That will archive any threads which have had no reply in 7 days - and when the archive reaches 100K, the next archiving will increment the "counter" by 1 (so it'll save to Archive4 when Archive3 goes over 100K). Give it a try, leave it for up to 48 hours and see how it works. If there are any problems, just drop me a line! -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 22:40, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you Steve, i find this very useful, i'll try it out  :) Dwayne was here! ^talk 22:49, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Reverted your revision [1] to Vagina

I removed the template you added since there hasn't been any kind of consensus to my knowledge to use templates like these. ~NerdyScienceDude (✉ message • changes) 22:44, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh well, i thought it would be fine. Some users will find it disturbing. So i decided to make a template and use it. I think it would be useful, but if you dont think so..then oh' well i guess..i'd just request for the template to be deleted. Dwayne was here! ^talk 22:46, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

If you want, you could suggest its usage at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals). I also removed the template to penis and sexual intercourse. ~NerdyScienceDude (✉ message • changes) 22:49, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

 Done i'll just wait for someone to respond, i have added that page to my watchlist. Dwayne was here! ^talk 22:57, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Also, I recently reverted your recent edits to other related articles where you added the {{Censor}} template. As stated on the template's documentation and mentioned by C.Fred in your proposal, it is to be used only on article talk pages and not on the article itself. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 02:21, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Oops..my bad. I wasn't paying attention, but thank you for undoing it for me. Dwayne was here! ^talk 02:32, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Yep, no problem. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 02:41, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of a template you created

Good day, I have deleted the template you created: Template:Disturbing, per the criteria for speedy deletion T2. This criteria includes the following:

• Templates that are unambiguous misrepresentations of established policy. This includes "speedy deletion" templates for issues that are not speedy deletion criteria and disclaimer templates intended to be used in articles. (Bold added to highlight the problem here.)

Disclaimers are not given in articles per consensus, you would need to gain community consensus on placing disclaimers in articles before such a template would be allowed, however this is unlikely to happen. See WP:NDT for more information on why we do not use disclaimers.

Please ask any questions you have on my talk page. Regards, --Taelus (talk) 23:05, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

I pasted the code for the template into the discussion you raised at the village pump, so that non-admins may view what it looked like. Hope this helps, --Taelus (talk) 23:09, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thank you :) Dwayne was here! ^talk 23:10, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
