I'll do my best. Keep in mind it may take me a few days. Anything specific you might want on your user page?-- RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 01:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello again. I renovated User:Realist2's user page. Is that the kind of page design you prefer, or even close? Of course I will change the colors though to the ones you like. --RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 03:54, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- I will start a little later. Do you want a page like User:Realist2? -- RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 00:15, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Done. How do you like it? -- RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 01:33, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! It took me quite a while to do, but I did it all in one edit. -- RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 03:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Check It Out
Check out my new userpage! RyRy5 renovated it for me.:)Xp54321 (talk) 13:56, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- I have to say, it looks rather nice :).
- Its also quite funny to see that RyRy5 incorporated part of my own coding into the new design, along with parts of his own code. I was already pleasantly surprised when people asked if they could copy my userpage, but seeing that part of my codebase is being used for future designs actually really cool as well!

Question(s)
What is the template for the userbox saying your a new page s patroller. I am one now. So this is how they mark pages for csd so fast.:)Xp54321 (talk) 22:33, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thats {{User wikipedia/NP Patrol}}
- Also, a few words of advice and warnings regarding Newpage patrol. Lets start with the advise: if you are serious about becoming a new page patrol, you might like to add the following script to your monobook: importScript('User:TheJosh/Scripts/NewPagePatrol.js');. This is an automatically updating list of new pages created, which is way easier then refreshing the new page logs every time.
- As for the words of warning: NewPage patrol is at start most likely the hardest area on Wikipedia to work in, mostly due to the fact that there are a lot of rule sets that apply to new pages. Before starting as a newpage patrol i worked several months as a vandalism patrol, which meant i knew the rules rather well. Even so, i found it quite difficult to patrol correctly the first month, as it is difficult and important work; Tag to early and you might delete valuable pages, Tag to late and junk might get trough. As a tip, don't count on the admins stopping you if you tag something that might not be ok. I received a notice from an admin a month after i started that i tagged to aggressively. I had been tagging the same kind of articles for a month, so ii ended up having removed several potentiality good articles.
- Make sure you know can almost literally cite WP:CSD, and that you have read WP:Notable (Including its subsections for certain topics), WP:BLP and WP:BIO. Apart from that make sure what template is used for what situation. When in doubt just tag it for PROD, or drop a note on my talk page. I will be glad to help check a page (I do that all day anyway :P).
- And at the very last: Make sure you can keep your cool when people start running in on your talk page, hurling insults and screams. I has countless
idiotsfellow editors asking why their page was deleted, some being quite impolite. In those cases just explain why you removed/tagged the page, and if they keep insulting or vandalize your user page, just warn them with a NPA (No personal attack) template. If things get really hot, just report them at WP:AIAV, but that should be a last resort.

No problem, keep up the good work. Realist2 ('Come Speak To Me') 01:24, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
I started using it the other day aswell, i cant figure out how it works either, speak to "Kodster". He uses it, you can find him on my talk page, hes very helpful. Realist2 ('Come Speak To Me') 22:34, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Foreign Langaues Articles
Hi XP!
First off, thanks for the barnstar; That it may twinkle forever on my my award page :)
A second thing i wanted to discuss are foreign language articles. Every now and then you will encounter a page that contains a non english language. Most times those articles will look like a whole lot of gibberish, or they are swarmed with non understandable Arabic characters. In case you can read the language it is written in, its easy to decide if the article fits in one of the other CSD caregories. If it does, tag it for removal under the proper category, and add a {{notice|Explanation Here}} uder the CSD tag explaining the admin what the article is all about.
In most cases you wont be able to read the articles contents however. When that happends, tag the page with the {{notenglish|language}} template (Substituting language for the language its written in. leaving it blank will default to unknown). After that is done just follow the templates directions and place a request on the request for translation area. People there will check if its noticable (If not, its CSD'ed) and will translate it to English. If that is not done within 20 days, the article is deleted.

AWB
Where did you extract it to? Cheers, Kodster (You talkin' to me?) (Stuff I messed up) 23:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi - not quite sure why you tagged this article as unreferenced; there are a couple of references on it. What sort of references are you expecting? Also, the film-editor-stub template already indicated that expansion would be welcome (at the bottom of the page). Easchiff(talk) 23:56, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Re:AWB
Sorry, but I also don't know how to start it. I downloaded it and I was approved, but I have no clue how to use it. Ask the user who approved it. Thanks. -- RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 00:00, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Seeing this, I see you figured out how to use it. Do you mind telling me? -- RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 00:11, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- I assume it's working from the above link. I don't use it myself so I'm not the best person to ask. There is a list of developers on the WP:AWB page, you could ask one of them if you're still having problems (I also assume you've followed the download instructions and have .NET properly installed). --Rodhullandemu 00:14, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll try later. Also, User:Rodhullandemu was the one who appoved it for me. Maybe asking someone else who uses it activly on recent changes. --RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 00:18, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hey Xp54321. I just realized that asking you where you extracted the file to won't make much of a difference. Anyway, wherever you extracted it to, open that folder and find the icon that says "AutoWikiBrowser". That's how you start the program. If you want to put that on your desktop, then simply copy that file and put it on your desktop. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have on my talk page. Cheers, Kodster (You talkin' to me?) (Stuff I messed up) 00:39, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- I forwarded it. Cheers, Kodster (You talkin' to me?) (Stuff I messed up) 01:01, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Good job. I still have yet to get 1000 edits (to the mainspace, of course). Right now, I have...670 mainspace edits. I've been here for 2 months and 19 days. Oh well, I've got a long way to go. Cheers, Kodster (You talkin' to me?) (Stuff I messed up) 01:08, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Good job. But you really don't have to tell anybody. I've learned that. Editcountitis is a horrible desiese. Beware... -- RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 01:10, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Just wanted to let you know, here's a link to your edit history, broken down into mainspace, talk page, etc. edits. It's usually what the admins use if they need to know anything about your edits. Cheers, Kodster (You talkin' to me?) (Stuff I messed up) 01:15, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
2000!!! Well done, keep it up. Realist2 ('Come Speak To Me') 01:34, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Wow, almost all the RED edits for this month have disappeared, well done. Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 22:47, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
I have little involvement with vandalism, aside protecting the pages on my watchlist and asking for semi protections. Im an article creater, im not involved with maintainence, sorry. I dont know how to set one up. Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 22:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
I would do more vandalism work but between building articles and reviewing articles for GA i dont have any more time lol. I do my bit of vandal revision and warning templates when i see it but dont actively go looking for vandalism. I often report vandalism and ask for page protections. Yes kodster dd inform me, gutted, still its only a few weeks. He gave me my wikibirthday present early lol. Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 23:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Signature
Okay, here's how it works. First, you go to your preference, checkmark the box that reads "Raw Signature" next to it. Add the following code to the box above the box you check marked (It should be a long box you add the following code to):
[[User:Xp54321|<font color="191970">'''Xp54321''']]</font><sup> ([[User talk:Xp54321|<font color="FF8C00">Vandals Beware!!!</font>]],[[Special:Contributions/Xp54321|<font color="FF8C00">Contribs</font>]])</sup>
-- Ryan Cross (talk ♠ Review) 20:41, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Insert
[[User:Xp54321|<font color="191970">'''Xp54321''']]</font><sup> ([[User talk:Xp54321|<font color="FF8C00">Vandals Beware!!!</font>]],[[Special:Contributions/Xp54321|<font color="FF8C00">Contribs</font>]])</sup>
into your preference and tick "Raw Signature". See what the result is, let me know. Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 23:15, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Do you want to try and make that Vandals beware and contributions stand out more, its a little hard to see. Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 23:22, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
OK, we will take this in stages, first try this one in your preferences
[[User:Xp54321|<font color="191970">'''Xp54321''']]</font><sup> ([[User talk:Xp54321|<font color="FF8C00">'''''Vandals Beware!!!'''''</font>]],[[Special:Contributions/Xp54321|<font color="FF8C00">'''''Contribs'''''</font>]])</sup>

Sure ill leave a comment shortly. Im confused, are you happy with your user name or do you want further alterations? I dont mind. Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 23:41, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Ah, i dont know how to make letters bigger, the only thing i could think of is to make it all capital letters. You could also try a darker yellow like i have. --Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 23:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Ah, i realise why the letters are small, its because they are floating on a higher level. To make the letters the normal size you would have to remove the rise on Beware vandals. Notice how my 2 is slightly smaller, its because its risen. Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 23:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
If you want be to bring it down i will, as for my present, lol, you still have some time to think about it. ;-) Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 00:06, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Try this to bring it down
[[User:Xp54321|<font color="191970">'''Xp54321''']]</font> ([[User talk:Xp54321|<font color="FF8C00">'''''Vandals Beware!!!'''''</font>]],[[Special:Contributions/Xp54321|<font color="FF8C00">'''''Contribs'''''</font>]])
Cheers, for smile. Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 16:55, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry ill remember your review, ive had a lot of exams in recent days, catching up on lost sleep, thanx for the barstar!!!, if you want anything else done with your user name let me know. Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 23:24, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
RyRy5's adoption of you...
Hi,
I don't know whether Ryan offered or not, but he needs to be removed as your adopter as he himself is currently adopted, and this is not allowed under WP:ADOPT.
If you have more questions, please ask!
THanks,
BlueGoblin7even 20:51, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- (ec) Your welcome. But if you didn't know, I'm currently in my own adoption. I'm not allowed to adopt. I appreciate you thinking I'm an experienced user, and I think I'm more experienced than you but I can't adopt you. However, you can always ask me questions when you like, I just can't take the name as an adopter. I hope you understand. -- Ryan Cross (talk ♠ Review) 20:52, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Rollback is a special tool used for only trusted users. Read Wikipedia:Rollback feature and Wikipedia:Rollback policy. Rollback is used for vandalism and vandalism only. It is not used for good faith edits and non-vandalism. If misused, it can be taken away. You can request for rollback at WP:RFR or you can ask an admin directly.--Ryan Cross (talk ♠ Review) 21:09, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- No, but I use other tools besides rollback and i think they work fine. I've decided I don't need rollback, at least for a while.--Ryan Cross (talk ♠ Review) 21:19, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Rollback
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 can only be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback may be removed at any time.
If you do not want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 21:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- You doubt you'll get it huh. :) --Ryan Cross (talk ♠ Review) 21:23, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

- BlueGoblin7even 21:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Done--Ryan Cross (talk ♠ Review) 21:28, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

"Admin pledge"
Hey there Xp54321, I have moved the page entitled "Admin pledge" to Wikipedia:Admin pledge because as a Wikipedia essay it should be in the project space.

Your RFA
I think you're on the right track, but an RFA now is too early. A lot of RFA contributors look for 5 months of active editing or more before they support an RFA. I would suggest you withdraw this as I'm pretty sure it won't pass. Regards, Malinaccier (talk) 01:31, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Rollback question
Why did you rollback this as well as this? What do you believe is wrong about these two edits that is unquestionably vandalism? Metros (talk) 01:42, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Because of your explanation, I have taken away your rollback rights. Just because a user doesn't provide an edit summary doesn't create vandalism. Both of those edits were not vandalism. Metros (talk) 01:54, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
RfA
Hello there, the problem is that without many edits to the Wikipedia namespace, it's impossible to tell whether you understand the policies that you'd need to be familiar with as an administrator. I'd say just continue editing well, make sure you contribute more in projectspace (for example at articles for deletion) and try again in a few months time. Black Kite 01:43, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Third that. Recommend withdrawal. Say the word and I'll close it. Enigma message 01:48, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well, you've been here less than three months and I don't think you fully understand the way things work. Not a knock, it takes some time to figure things out. Took me a while. Enigma message 01:54, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Per discussion with other users, I closed your RfA prematurely. Sorry. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Enigma message 02:10, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- The RfA wasn't the reason for your rollback being taken away, persay. That may be how Metros noticed it, but the reason it was confiscated, like it was with RyRy, was because of inappropriate usage and lack of a full understanding of when it is to be used. I'm sorry about what happened, but going forward with an RfA at this time wasn't the greatest decision. Enigma message 02:16, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Would you like to explain signing the IP's note as yourself? Are you the IP address or not? Metros (talk) 02:09, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry case
You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Xp54321 (2nd) for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. Metros (talk) 02:43, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Regarding your sockpuppetry case, I want to assume good faith as much as possible, but the evidence is stacked against you. Just thought I'd jump in and let you know that if this really is a case of sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry, it's much better to confess and take the slap on the wrist than it will be to take an indef block if a checkuser comes up against you. You may be interested to know that of a recent similar case. Bluegoblin7 used a sockpuppet (Shanner191) to support his RFA, was accused exactly the way you are being accused, owned up to it, and wasn't even blocked. Obviously, if you weren't involved in any sockpuppeting or meatpuppeting, maintain your innocence. Useight (talk) 03:26, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
