User:DamianAlexDeromas & Rugrats pages
Hello, this is FlyingDuckManGenesis. Tonight, I would like to report DamianAlexDeromas. He is making unwanted edits to various Rugrats pages:

Namely:


 * Marking the Rugrats/Characters/Gallery page for deletion.
 * Replacing the Rugrats info on the Chuckie Finster and Angelica Pickles pages with All Grown Up! (the spin-off) info, despite the fact that Rugrats predates All Grown Up! by ten years.
 * Removing my warnings on his talk page whenever I tell him to stop or I will report him to you.
 * Telling me he'd block me for reverting his edits despite the fact that he hates Rugrats and I don't. That reason is also why he's been making these unwanted edits. (I'm not like him, I mean, I may hate Barney, but that doesn't mean I make unwanted edits to Barney pages.)

If you can, please help me by blocking him and changing the protection levels on the Chuckie and Angelica pages so that only registered users can edit them (as there have also been some unregistered users who may or may not have been him trying to make these edits as well. Thank you for your time.

✅ Thank you FDMG for bringing this to our attention. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  09:42, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Appropriate user blocks have been applied. Please see User talk:DamianAlexDeromas: the comments there may be useful to you as far as policy is concerned.
 * The three pages in question have been semi-protected for one month.
 * As I have asked you before, be less threatening when leaving notices on peoples’ talkpages, AND simply say that their continued disruptive editing may result in their being reported to an Administrator. Please do not mention either of us directly. If you feel the need to provide a wikilink, please use one of the following:
 * Scratchpad:Administrators, or
 * Category:Administrators


 * Thank you for taking care of the situation. Next time someone makes unwanted edits, I will try to follow your advice listed above. I am not trying to be mean or malicious, even to those who are making unwanted edits, I am merely trying to keep the pages they are making unwanted edits to from being vandalized. – FDMG, 8:15 A.M. Approx. FlyingDuckManGenesis (talk) 12:15, April 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just don’t mention my name. It makes it look like you have an inside track. I don’t want any user thinking we would not be fair and impartial in dealing with an editing dispute. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  12:44, April 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just say the cookie monster will get them if they are bad >:D Kris loves his cookies 11:45, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

Weird Message
Hey Spike, it's NZGuy and someone (SuperMalechi) left me a weird message without signing his name. Can you help please

Thanks, --NZGuy (talk) 06:49, April 21, 2013 (UTC)NZGuy


 * I have no idea what he’s asking about. Those pages do not exist in your userspace, his userspace, or in the user namespace under those names, and never have. You’ll have to ask him. :) — Spike  Toronto  08:22, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

Status indicator
Hey I was wondering one more thing, how do you get those status' on your page? Since I would like to have them as well.

--NZGuy (talk) 22:18, April 21, 2013 (UTC)NZGuy


 * Follow the instructions at Scratchpad:Status indicator (shortcut &rarr; SP:SI). In case you miss the note in Step #1, you are supposed to go straight to Step #2, and start there. Let me know if you have any problems with it. Have fun! :) — Spike  Toronto  06:35, April 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * It's NZGuy again and I can't seem to get the top bit on the screen, please help me. NZGuy


 * Ahoy Spike/NZGuy :) I fixed this for him in chat last night. Regards, Kris. 10:57, April 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Saw that. But it’s not working 100% right. Also, we need to stick to SP:SI to be consistent. It’s okay for you to change it technically for yourself. But, we should keep all of our members who use it as per the instructions (except for status descriptions, of course!). — Spike  Toronto  11:01, April 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * P.S. I’ve put User:NZGuy/Status legend back to exactly as you had it. — Spike  Toronto  11:03, April 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * As I recall spike, I changed nothing from the original code, just added the capability on his page (like on mine) to display it on the page as well as in the header :)

Hmm… he shrugs, confusedly. ;) Per SP:SI the status legend page is created very simply by: I think one issue that I see is "" which should be ""I don’t want to do anything to it, though, because … well you know … too many cooks spoil the broth. ;) Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  11:20, April 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Going to Special:MyPage/Status legend.
 * Inputing  
 * Pressing 
 * Customizing descriptions to suit, but changing nothing else (parameters, etc.)


 * That wasn't me xD Fixed now 11:22, April 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * P.S. Can you remove that bloody div from your talk page... Learn to use correct ways of indenting it :( 11:22, April 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Nope. DIVs are wonderful. They are the answer to everyone’s prayers. They are manna from heaven. We cannot live without them. They are like sun and water to our coding souls: DIVs nourish us. :) — Spike  Toronto  11:30, April 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * P.S. One part of User:NZGuy/Status legend is fixed. But, notice how the legend is not appearing color-coded. — Spike  Toronto  11:32, April 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Fixed :) Also Div's should die... plus you don't even CLOSE it ;( you replace it to something better before I destroy it -.- 11:36, April 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * It’s not closed on purpose. Now, I am going back to bed. — Spike  Toronto  11:39, April 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * P.S. Now you need to make the legend here match the legend at User:NZGuy/Status legend. :P — Spike  Toronto  11:47, April 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * ✅   Gee you guys are lucky I’m around to fix things. :P —  Spike  Toronto  21:01, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

Time page
Hey it's NZGuy and I was wondering also how to get a time page.

--NZGuy (talk) 22:20, April 24, 2013 (UTC)NZGuy


 * Well, have you tried to figure it out? Mine is located at User:SpikeToronto/Time. I then transclude that page into User:SpikeToronto/Header. Then, I transclude that page into User:SpikeToronto. If you want to be able to give tech help to others, solving this’ll be good practice for you. :) — Spike  Toronto  00:52, April 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Or to be a really good tech because we both know Spike found this on a random page while trolling AdminTools wiki. You COULD use google :D 03:30, April 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * NZGuy + Kris:
 * I brought it to ATW. I did not find it there.
 * Don’t bother with Google. Just copy what I’ve done, then adjust for your timezone. In the wikiverse, to copy and adapt, is to learn.
 * — Spike  Toronto  07:51, April 25, 2013 (UTC)

Delete Pages
Hey Spike, it's NZGuy and I was wondering if you could delete all the pages from my userspace except for these:


 * http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/User:NZGuy/Header
 * http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/User:NZGuy/Status_legend
 * http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/User:NZGuy/Status

Thanks a bundle for this, --NZGuy (talk) 05:15, April 26, 2013 (UTC)NZGuy


 * I'll just assume it's all the ones you just removed all content from :) Next time consider using the tag :)  05:53, April 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * And we're done :) 06:19, April 26, 2013 (UTC)

Just to underscore Kriss’s comments, please see Scratchpad:Deletion policy, flagging (shortcut &rarr; SP:DELETE). That policy page, in the Project namespace, outlines both the policy, and the procedure, for deleting pages on the wiki. You’ll note when you’ve read SP:DELETE that pages in your own, personal userspace are marked with. The other deletion template — — is for proposed deletions that do not satisfy the speedy deletion criteria, and require discussion among wiki members to determine if there is a consensus for deletion. Hope this helps! :) — Spike  Toronto  07:17, April 26, 2013 (UTC)

User 24.151.64.62 is making unwanted edits
Hello, this is FlyingDuckManGenesis. Before I begin, I would like you to know that I am trying to follow your advice and not mention you directly on other people's talk pages.

Anyways, today I would like to report User 24.151.64.62. The reason being is that he is making unwanted edits to other people's Thomas/Rugrats casts, which I have been reverting. Only those who made the casts in the first place should be allowed to edit them. Even after I warned him not to, he continued. Do you think you could help me out here? Thank you.

FDMG, 8:02 A.M. Approx. FlyingDuckManGenesis (talk) 12:02, April 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * ✅ I have semi-protected the page so only signed-in users can edit it. This protection will expire in one month. I have also soft-blocked the IP address. Remember, that means that if he signs in, he will be able to edit. Finally, on pages like that, where there are cast lists written by different users not to be edited by others, remember to place at the very top of the page, as well as at the very top of the associated talkpage. Doing so might help reduce these occurrences. Thanks! :) —  Spike  Toronto  16:01, April 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much.


 * FDMG, 12:13 P.M. Approx. FlyingDuckManGenesis (talk) 16:13, April 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * No problem! Thanks for bringing it to my attention. :) — Spike  Toronto  16:19, April 27, 2013 (UTC)

Race Conflicts
Hello. You deleted a page called Race Conflicts which is the official manual of a game called www.raceconflicts.com Unfortunately i do not have a backup of that page, is there a chance to activate that page again? Thx


 * I’ll look into it. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  17:36, April 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * ✅    Please see Race Conflicts. —  Spike  Toronto  18:16, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Troublesome User
Hey Spike, it's NZGuy and I am getting annoyed of 68.151.20.89 because they are filling future Thomas Seasom pages full of spam, can you do something about it please? Here is the link:http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/68.151.20.89

Thanks, --NZGuy (talk) 21:57, April 28, 2013 (UTC)NZGuy


 * Leaving a message on his talk page now 21:59, April 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * He seems to have stopped editing before Kriss’s warning. Nonetheless, he has not edited since. Therefore, no further action is required at this time. — Spike  Toronto  03:23, April 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * P.S. Let me know if he starts back up. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  06:42, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

Now soft-blocked for six (6) months. — Spike  Toronto  20:34, May 3, 2013 (UTC)

Signature
 Original query : Hey Mike! Regarding your signature, there is a rule that some part of your signature must provide a link, either to your userpage, your talkpage, or both. Right now your signature is not doing that. Since you are using a nice, clean, basic signature, this is what I suggest you do get it hypertexted: Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  07:01, April 30, 2013 (UTC)  – from “Your signature” at User talk:NZGuy
 * Go to Special:Preferences
 * In the Signature section, empty out the box labelled Custom signature
 * Scroll down, press the Save button
 * From now on, sign using four tildes (i.e.,  ~  )

 Responses :

Hey Spike I forgot that I had changed my signature ad that is why my signatures came out funny, won't happen again but how do you make your first name link to your profile and last to your talk page?

--NZGuy (talk) 08:03, April 30, 2013 (UTC)NZGuy 08:02, April 30, 2013 (UTC)NZGuy


 * If you are still having issues with this, just link me your signature page :) 11:02, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

Just do as I had instructed at   (see boxed text above). That’s all you have to do. And, we cannot do it for you: Administrators do not have access to users’ preferences. — Spike  Toronto  15:57, April 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hey Spike, its NZGuy and look what i did with my signature, but i was wondering if you could help me perfect my signature:http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/User:NZGuy/signature — NZGuy (talk) 02:00, May 6, 2013 (UTC) NZ  Guy

Hey NZGuy. Please do the following: If you have followed every step correctly, your signature should be set up correctly to work on every wiki at Wikia. From now on, you sign using four tildes (i.e.,  ). It works like this: Please take your time and follow every step. Only you can do this. We Administrators have no way to access your preferences without your password. — Spike  Toronto  01:30, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Go to User:NZGuy/signature
 * 2) Choose the ONE (1) signature that you like best
 * 3) Press the edit button
 * 4) Copy the code of the ONE (1) signature that you like best
 * 5) * Do not copy any other code
 * 6) * Copy only ONE (1) set of code
 * 7) Go to Special:Preferences
 * 8) * You can get there from the pulldown list at the top right of the screen where you see your name
 * 9) Signature prefs.jpgl down to where you see the Signature section. (See image at right.)
 * 10) Paste the code you copied earlier, into the box labelled custom signature
 * 11) Tick the box below it labelled I want to use wikitext in my signature.
 * 12) Scroll down to the very bottom and press the button labelled SAVE.
 *   &rarr; signature + timestamp &rarr; — Spike  Toronto  01:30, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
 *   &rarr; signature only &rarr; — Spike  Toronto
 *   &rarr; timestamp only &rarr; 01:30, May 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that, I have now done it and succeeded —  NZ  Guy  01:55, May 8, 2013 (UTC)NZGuy


 * Signature prefs.jpg. Something about it still does not seem correct. Would you please show me a screencap of the signature section in your preferences? Like my screencap, here, to the right, please. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  03:50, May 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * 18_6.png it is, —  NZ  Guy  21:08, May 8, 2013 (UTC)

It looks fine in your preferences. It must be how you’re using it. Remember: you sign using four tildes (i.e.,   ). Do not type any dashes before the four tildes: the dash is already included in your sig code. Also, type nothing after the four tildes: Everything you need is in the code you placed in your preferences. Trust the system. Type only four tildes:  . Nothing else. — Spike  Toronto  23:29, May 8, 2013 (UTC)

Banning
Would you kindly ban this user? User:OkamiTakahashi

He is a troublemaker from a site I formerly chatmodded on; he is a pervert, a stalker and hacker, acquring personal info on family and friends of mine to get revenge all because we banned him for posting porn on our wiki about 3 years ago. Delete his submissions, too. The Vicarstown Sentinel (talk)


 * Staff have globally disabled that account. — Spike  Toronto  02:51, May 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * I wrote that before they took notice of his activity. The Vicarstown Sentinel (talk) 03:22, May 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * From my talk with Trellar, I figured that was the case. :) — Spike  Toronto  03:33, May 9, 2013 (UTC)
