Hello, Frood/Archive/3! I see that you have expressed an interest in being adopted by an experienced editor. I accept your request, being an experienced editor myself.

Good luck with Wikipedia!--Res 2216 firestar 18:25, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

And here's a reading list to get started: Wikipedia:Notability, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines, Wikipedia:WikiProject, and the long, tedious reference guide for writing, Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

Your request for rollback

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi Frood/Archive/3/2010. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Rollback should never be used to edit war.
If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY ^(TALK) 03:41, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Haha, actually, I think it was an edit conflict between your reverting and my reverting. Thisisborin9 03:14, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, i was just reverting an edit by User:Porncoin, they've been spamming with one link (Probably a shock site). Pilif 12p (contribs) 13:38, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Ahh, i thought it was spam. Sorry! (Again, they've been putting it on multiple pages, I hope you can see where i got that idea from, and the whole username makes me not agf :/ Pilif 12p (contribs) 13:39, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

(EC) Aaah, that explains why Huggle didn't show a warning being added, it was aimed at the wrong person. Sorry for that, it seems our reverts crossed, and that mine ended up warning the wrong user. As for the link, i actually clicked it - Based on the first page it seems to be a male paysite. I just went ahead and reported the user for link spamming; His only edits so far were promoting that website. Oh, and i removed the warning. Feel free to re-insert it if you wish to keep\archive it though :) Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 13:42, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

ah, that happens a lot... at the time WP had a 10 second lag, i think; some pages said that things may appear 10 seconds out of date... Thanks for clearing things up! Pilif 12p (contribs) 13:45, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Archiving

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi,

As per our chat, I've set up this page for auto-archiving, as discussed.

Normally, I prefer to explain how to do stuff, but in the case of archive set-up, it's easier to just do it for you. The voodoo to make it work is here; the bot should come along within about a day and kick things off. Note the archive box at the top which, currently, will say "no archives yet (create)" - don't create anything, just let the bot do its thing.

It's set to 60 days (60d), you might want to change that. Note that a) it won't archive very small threads or things with no sigs in (ie no date) - you can cut those yourself and paste 'em into the archive page if you want.

So - that's about it; no action required, just let the bot do its thing, and - if I've done it correctly - all should be well. If it goes wrong, of course, give me a shout. Cheers! Chzz ► 14:48, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! Pilif 12p (contribs) 14:51, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
