thanks

I just wanted to say thanks for the very constructive comments you left on the GA review of Last Exit to Springfield. Not enough people leave good comments, and what you said will be helpful for me when it comes to fixing the article. I'll implement your suggestions and renominate the article in a few days. -- Scorpion 18:07, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Awesome. I'm glad I was able to help. Good luck! –King Bee  18:59, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I've done some editing, and I was wondering if you could take anopther look and tell me if I'm on the right path. Thanks, Scorpion 21:04, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I think so; just watch out for spelling errors (like "bgack" in the intro) and missing periods (in the intro as well) when you make copyedits. If you like, I can lend a hand; I just won't be allowed to review it when you submit it again for GA. –King Bee  21:33, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Help would be greatly appreciated. I've never been one for copyediting and I usually do miss stuff. -- Scorpion 21:37, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd be glad to lend a hand. =)–King Bee  21:41, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert on my talkpage.--Isotope23 19:06, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

No problemo. –King Bee  19:07, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar For You.

		The Original Barnstar
		For putting up with a lot when dealing with Starwars1955 and his numerous sockpuppets. Acalamari 21:51, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch. You're a very kind editor, I am glad to have worked with you. –King Bee  22:03, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. Acalamari 23:34, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Year Zero (album)

Please put back in the other changes I made to the page, particularly the citation regarding the album production credits. BotleySmith 22:25, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism From Starwars1955.

A user called Poison91 vandalized your user and talk pages, as well as Aviper2k7's. He also vandalized Luna Santin's and Isotope's user pages as well. An administrator, Kusma, blocked Poison91, as that user is a sockpuppet of Starwars1955. I'm telling you this in case you receive more vandalism from Starwars1955. It seems that Starwars1955 has found another way to evade his countless blocks, and his ban. Acalamari 22:28, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I know. Just ignore him. Revert his edits when you see them, and an administrator will come along shortly and block him. Thanks for looking out. –King Bee  15:42, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Help!

{{helpme|Script question}}

You know how when you get new messages on your talk page, that really nice orange boilerplate is at the top of every page, letting you know that you have new messages? Is there a script (or some other way) to customize that so that the boilerplate will be present with regards to edits on other pages? –King Bee  15:42, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Not at the moment, as far as I remember. You have a watchlist; this doesn't do what you requested, but many people use it as a substitute (I check my watchlist frequently). If this isn't close enough to what you want, you could try putting a request for a new script in at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject user scripts, or requesting a change to the software at mediazilla:. --ais523 15:47, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, the watchlist is great; I was hoping to take it like "one step further" with the boilerplate deal. I just have been watching a particular page for extreme amounts of vandalism, and thought it would be helpful if such a script existed. Thanks a ton for answering my question so quickly! –King Bee  15:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Further to this, I decided to write a script to notify you (less intrusively than with an orange bar) at the top of the page, so that you're notified whenever your watchlist changes. You can find it as 'watchlist notifier' on WikiProject user script's script page. Hope that helps! --ais523 09:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Speedying

In reference to Groundwater-related subsidence. You could be a little more careful about speedying articles. Starting an article with an inuse tag may be a little unorthodox, but you could at least check to see if the person is a reputable editor or at least give them some time, that is what the tag is for. As you can see, its a useful article now. Basar 23:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. When I'm tracking new pages, I have little patience for those who aren't doing useful things. I'll try to be a little more careful in the future. –King Bee  00:13, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Bruce McPherson (Australian judge)

I've created many, many basic Supreme Court judge pages. Are you intending on "speedy deleting" all of them? Kindly advise as to your intent. BenedictX 01:35, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I didn't see any cited sources, just some links to some other pages. I didn't know if it was a test page or not. I'll be more careful in the future, but you should cite your sources. If I see a new page with references, I wouldn't think to delete it at all. –King Bee  02:11, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Flikzor Website

You have requested the speedy deletion of the Flikzor website I just created. I find this ironic for two reasons; For one, you have listed that the Flikzor site I created promotes Flikzor, when in fact I created the page in a rage caused by the fact that Flikzor is illegaly implying that there are a limited amount of user passes available. This brings me to my second point, which is that though I am enraged by the misleading message which caused me to register, I went out of my way to objectively report on the website. By all means, if you feel I am promoting the website in any way, shape, or form, rewrite my article, but I feel strongly that the illegal actions of this website should be reported.

Thank you for your time,

If you want to report the "illegal actions" of this company, do it somewhere else. WP:NOT your blog. –King Bee  06:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Wow. If there were a single sentence within my article that was not also a fact, I believe you would have a point here. Unfortunately, the fact that you have responded to my cordial critique with such extreme negative vigor leads me to believe that there are ulterior motives for said suggestion. Perhaps you are trying to add to your revision count to rise in the ranks beyond your objective peers? In any case, I will remain, as always, a reasonable person. If you indeed feel that my article promotes Flikzor, then so be it. In that respect, we can only agree to disagree. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.165.84.149 (talk) 06:58, 20 February 2007 (UTC).

Perhaps you caught me in a foul mood, but I have little patience for new pages on Misplaced Pages that don't follow the guidelines. Maybe every single sentence in the article you wrote is true, but you didn't cite your sources, so there wasn't really any way for me to know. There were no ulterior motives; and I wasn't the only one who thought the article was spam. –King Bee  13:20, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

10,000

• I posted this message to Luna Santin and Aviper2k7:

Did you read the message SeaWorld01/Starwars1955 left on his talk page before the message was removed (it's still in the history) and the page protected? Do you really believe that he has 10,000 accounts? I don't believe it, as I think it's a bluff. As you said, he should just give up: he is wasting everyone's time, including his own.

Do you think it's a bluff? How can anyone have 10,000 accounts? He is simply wasting his efforts here by doing all of this. Acalamari 22:22, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

It's probably a bluff. As I said above, we should probably just ignore him, revert his edits when they appear, and an administrator will eventually come by and block the account. The more we discuss him, the more power he has; I say just forget him. –King Bee  03:38, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
