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

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

 * 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)

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?

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 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.

 * 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)

STS Wiki me being a second admin
hey Spike uh i need some help again i feel like the Shining Time Station wiki should have me as a second admin since i founded the wiki because it was long lost for a while i feel like i should be the admin there too not just Thomasfan what should i do? Skullzproductions (talk) 15:27, May 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, you cannot adopt the wiki because there is an active Administrator there. So, the only avenue left to you is to ask for the privilege of becoming an Administrator. At some wikis, you ask that wiki’s community by going through a “request for admin” process. (See w:c:admintools:Admin Tools Wiki:Requests for rights for an example.) If STS has such a process, I cannot find it. That means all you can do is ask the current Administrator. I suggest you try to avoid language like you used above, though. It suggests you feel entitled. While you may very well feel entitled — even if rightly so — it might cause Thomasfan to get his back up. I would suggest instead that you make him see how much help it would be to the STS wiki — and to him — if you could assist him with Administrating the wiki. Good luck! — Spike  Toronto  15:59, May 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * well i hope so because he looks like he's barely helping me out like he's taking out an important segment in the episodes so i'll just hope Skullzproductions (talk) 16:09, May 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I wouldn’t argue with him about the songs and cartoons. You want to be an admin. It’s not going to happen if there’s animosity between you. Once you are an admin, however, you might suggest that a STS encyclopedia cannot be considered truly encyclopedic if it leaves out major elements of the episodes. Those songs and cartoons are the costliest parts of each episode. So, that speaks to how important the production company and the stations carrying the show consider them since they’re footing the bill for them. But, that’s not for now. That’s for after you become an admin. I have to say, though, from his talkpage/wall posts, he does not seem inclined toward collegial, participative management. I think he likes to hold the reins tightly. So, don’t be surprised if he says no to you being an admin and/or to your ideas. — Spike  Toronto  16:19, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

Bad User
Hey Spike it's me NZGuy and I wanted to report this user http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/75.85.70.10 who created a couple of crude pages and spammed quite a few others, can you do something please?

Thanks, —  NZ  Guy  06:10, May 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * ✅ I have soft-blocked the IP address for SIX (6) months. For ONE (1) month, I have semi-protected the Australia/New Zealand page from which he was removing large chunks. I have deleted the one page that you marked for deletion. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. :) — Spike  Toronto  08:55, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

User:151.68.155.90
Before I begin, I would just like you to know that I am taking your advice and not mentioning you directly on his talk page.

Hello, it's FDMG. Today I'd like to report 151.68.155.90. The reason being is because he is outright vandalizing various Mario and Sonic character pages, removing all of their content, and replacing it with the message, Do not write nothing (which isn't even proper grammar). I have been reverting his edits by marking them as vandalism. I don't know if he hates those series, but he has no right to vandalize those pages. A would sure appreciate if you could help me. Thank you.

FDMG, 11:20 A.M. Approx. FlyingDuckManGenesis (talk) 16:11, May 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * ✅   Because it’s an IP address, I’ve had to soft-block it. This means that he could come back and resume vandalizing using a registered account. If that happens, we can permaban that, and any other, account he might use. Btw, I just wanted to remind you that you have Rollback, which you are permitted to use with such clearcut examples of vandalism. Please let me know if this starts up again. Thank you for bringing this to my attention! :) —  Spike  Toronto  15:56, May 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. — FDMG, 12:11 P.M. Approx. FlyingDuckManGenesis (talk) 16:11, May 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * P.S. By the way, in case you’re curious, you have access to the abuse filter log located at at Special:AbuseLog. It shows every edit that has triggered any of the abuse filters. For example, with this IP-only editor, he was repeatedly tripping the large-removal abuse filter (Special:AbuseFilter/9). You can access its log alone by placing a 9 in the Filter ID field (see here). Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  16:23, May 17, 2013 (UTC)

Please block this IP address
I want to report 50.44.76.7 for vandalizing the page Thomas/My Little Pony. I gave it two warnings to stop removing casts, but it's still continuing to fail the rules on Scratchpad. Please block this address. I also recommend to protect the Thomas/My Little Pony page, if that's okay with you. FirePuppy (talk) 11:09, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * ✅   Thanks for alerting us! And, don’t worry: sometimes it may take one of us awhile to get around to it, but we can almost always undo all their damage. Thanks! :) —  Spike  Toronto  19:07, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Another IP address to block
Also, please block this IP address: 108.223.238.123 I gave this IP address two warnings to not do large removals, but it still wouldn't listen. FirePuppy (talk) 12:47, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

This IP address is still continuing to fail to obey the rules by removing whole casts from Thomas/My Little Pony. Please block this IP address because I don't like making edit wars. FirePuppy (talk) 13:57, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * ✅   Thanks for alerting us! And, don’t worry: sometimes it may take one of us awhile to get around to it, but we can almost always undo all their damage. Thanks! :) —  Spike  Toronto  19:08, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

151.18.65.0 & 151.68.155.90
Hello, it's FDMG again. Before I begin, I'd like to tell you two things.

1. Just like before, I have not mentioned you directly on other people's talk pages. 2. I have decided to take your advice and check the abuse filter. While these edits weren't necessarily on there, I have decided to write this for a reason.

There's this user, 151.18.17.102, who may or may not be 151.68.155.90, as their edits are similar and they visit similar pages. Anyway, he is basically on various Mario and Sonic character pages, removing counterparts from the Niki Cassulo franchise, as well as adding a (do not edit, delete, or add) disclaimer to the Counterparts section. Now, I don't have any problem with the former, as I've never heard of the Niki Cassulo franchise, it may even be made up, but I do have a problem with the latter, the reason being, people should be allowed to add more counterparts to the Counterparts section if they want to. I don't want that disclaimer to be added to those character pages for that reason. Do you think you could help me? I would gladly appreciate it if you did.

FDMG, 1:54 P.M. Approx. FlyingDuckManGenesis (talk) 17:54, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * FDMG, would you please check the first IP address again? There are no edits for IP address 151.18.17.102. And, you are correct: Anyone can edit a counterparts section. It cannot be “locked in.” There’s an incentive for you to finish your draft of the counterparts policy. ;) — Spike  Toronto  20:19, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * You're right. I must have accidentally typed the address down wrong. I did try to use Textedit to ensure this kind of thing wouldn't happen again, but it did anyway. Here is the address I meant to type down, I even got it from one of his edits to ensure it:


 * 151.18.65.0.


 * On a side note, I did work a little more on the Counterparts policy by adding some new rules, one of which is that if you are adding a disclaimer, you cannot add do not add to it, because if people want to add new counterparts to the character page, they should be allowed to.


 * FDMG, 4:33 P.M. Approx. FlyingDuckManGenesis (talk) 20:33, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * ✅   I’ve soft-blocked that IP-address. I’ve also added a few soft range-blocks, which hopefully will make it harder for him to cycle through IPs. Unfortunately, while his edits may suggest otherwise, he is clever and knows how to use multiple IPs and ISPs. It makes it a bit like playing whack-a-mole. The best either I, or our other Administrator, can do is act on your reports. So keep ’em coming. Thanks! —  Spike  Toronto  14:35, May 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Right now, a similar user, 151.47.76.32 is making similar edits to various Pokemon character pages. In one of his edits, he even removed an entire section (the Girl Version section) in addition to removing the Niki Cassulo counterparts and adding the do not add disclaimer to the Piplup page. Although, his edits seem to be improving now, since he's adding a (do not delete, but you can add) disclaimer to the pages he's editing, instead of a (do not delete or add) one. — FDMG, 5:20 P.M.

 * ✅    Let me know if he pops up using a different IP address, or as a signed-in user. Thanks! :) —  Spike  Toronto  14:49, May 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I will.

User:71.191.75.32
Hello, it's FDMG again. Tonight I would like to report 71.191.75.32. To ensure that I have this address correct, I gathered this from one of his edits and dragged it to Textedit. Anyway, the reason I would like to report him is because he has removed a large amount of content from the Sonic the Hedgehog (Character) page. I checked the abuse filter and it picked it up. Basically, he has removed every counterpart but one per franchise in the counterparts sections to suit his needs. I reverted his edits (but didn't mark them as vandalism), because more than one counterpart is allowed per franchise to those whose opinions differ from others. He has also done the same kind of edits to the Princess Sally Acorn and Breezie pages. Thankfully, those edits were reverted. I would greatly appreciate if you could do something about him. — FDMG, 6:42 P.M. Approx. FlyingDuckManGenesis (talk) 22:42, May 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * ✅   As usual, a soft-block on the miscreant, plus one-month semi-protection of certain of the pages involved. Thanks FDMG! :) —  Spike  Toronto  09:25, May 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * You're welcome, and thank you very much.

Delete pages 2013-05-24
Hi Spike, its NZGuy and i was wondering if you could delete: User:NZGuy/RingoStarrMichaelAngelisandMichaelBrandon please since it has been like that for nearly a week. and also if you can, can you restore: User:NZGuy/BarneyandBJSeason3Fan

thanks, —  NZ  Guy  01:23, May 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * ✅   I have deleted the one page, and restored the other. On other note, would you please use wikilinks instead of URLS for linking to pages here on the wiki? If you look at the diff at http://scratchpad.wikia.com/?diff=1210905 you can see how I converted your full URLs to proper wikilinks. Also, have a look at Help:Links (visual editor) and mw:Help:Links (source editor). And, if you have any questions or need any help, please do not hesitate to ask. Thanks! :) —  Spike  Toronto  04:19, May 24, 2013 (UTC)
