- I echo that. Welcome to Wikipedia, Nufy8! It's an open content, free encylopedia. Or so I'm told! --El_C 00:59, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- Oh. I just read the note. I regret nothing! --El_C 01:02, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- Hehe. Yeah, I shouldn't have gone with this format to begin with... --Nufy8 01:05, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
Vote for deletion alert
I thought you would like to know that there is a VfD on that page now at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Cut_Ending_to_Knights_of_the_Old_Republic_II. Please stop in there and comment on this vote! --maru 15:54, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Minor Star Wars thingy
Hi there! You nominated a Star Wars character for deletion, saying you want him merged... are you aware that merging doesn't require a vote, and you can just go ahead and do it? We trust you. Recommended reading material, WP:BOLD, Wikipedia:Merge and WP:FICT. Yours, Radiant_>|< 13:10, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up. I made that vfd thinking the article was fan fiction, but I found out I was mistaken. I'll eventually go ahead and merge the article if no one else does. --Nufy8 18:26, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Darth Ruin is a brand new character from Vader: The Ultimate Guide. He was the rogue Jedi who stole a Sith Holocron and founded the Brotherhood of Darkness 2,000 BBY, beginning the New Sith Wars. My own guide hasn't arrived in the mail yet, so I can't post the information on him verbatim, but that's the gist of the character. --Jon Hart 04:41, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
Greetings!
Hey Nufy, thanks for your help on the TFC article! I also enjoy your Star Wars contributions. Cheers and keep up the good work, --R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 16:47, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
(Was) 3RR Warning
You have violated the three revert rule which was reported here. Please refrain from doing so in the future. Also, as a specific condition of this warning, please refrain from making any additional reversions for 24 hours, or you may be blocked from editing for up to 24 hours. Thanks. --El_C 08:36, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
- On a closer look, I stand corrected. I've blocked 80.4.224.6 for vandalism. Sorry for wasting your time. --El_C 08:41, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
Apology
Through ignorance and lack of thought, I placed a 3RR against you for your work against vandalism on truth. I apologise unreservedly. --Banno 09:25, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
Vandal-whacking stick
I award you this vandal whacking stick for your constant reversions of vandalism on Wikipedia. (I'm actually surprised you haven't recieved one already!) Keep up the good work! --Jaxl | talk 23:10, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, I guess that's true too. :) Happy editing! --Jaxl | talk 23:33, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
- I made that! *grins* --Veratien 03:24, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- On closer inspection, I didn't. I made the template version, which isn't in use here. Ignore me. :p --Veratien 03:26, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
RC patrol
I've noticed your success in RC patrol. I have a working bot that may make your life a lot easier. on irc.freenode.net #en.wikipedia.vandalism --Cool Cat My Talk 01:40, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
- Tag along just to chat if you wish :) --Cool Cat My Talk 01:40, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll check it out sometime. --Nufy8 01:43, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for the quick reversion of the vandalism on my userpage. --Jtkiefer T | @ | C ----- 04:28, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
- Don't mention it. --Nufy8 04:34, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
Star Wars
You might be interested in this, because I see you have made and contributed to several Star Wars articles. Over at Wikicities, there is Wookieepedia aka the Star Wars Wiki, and we are always looking for new contributors who might be able to help out. I gave up on Wikipedia's articles because of the constant maintenance to keep fanon out and the inability to give everything an article. There is more freedom at Wookieepedia and I hope that you join us (and we can rule the galaxy together).. j/k. Anyway, see you there. --Riffsyphon1024 16:32, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the offer, but I'm comfortable on Wikipedia. Maybe in the future. --Nufy8 16:44, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
Vandalism
Thank you for reverting the vandalism on the Soundgarden page. You beat me to it. --Jobe6 04:05, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
- No problem. --Nufy8 04:06, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
Salem page
Sorry Nufy for vandeling the salem home page, im an idiot and new to wiki, in the future will use the sandbox. --Jes
- Well, you did format this discussion correctly, so if you are indeed being sincere, I would suggest that you register and help out. --Nufy8 04:32, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
- OK, i registered, and i will help out whenever i can, the ability to be able to edit pages instantly simply makes me blown away, guess i could get a little childish sometimes, but i respect the Wiki and the good it does for mankind, so no more playing for me, how can i help? --EnsJesse
- My suggestion is to patrol the Recent Changes page, checking the edits; you can find many interesting pages, wars, users &etc. that way, and learn quite a bit about Wikipedia, and be very useful w/r/t vandals and fixing vandalism. but YMMV. --Maru 16:08, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
Lambgoat Page
Stop marking this page for deletion. It has an Alexa ranking of 39,000, sometimes nearing 20,000 and less. It has over 8,000 users registered and brings in 8 million page views per day. The information located on the article is relevant and accurate to the website. Saying it's an insignificant website is foolish. --(Unsigned comment by Butt (talk · contribs))
- None of those topics brought up in the deletion discussion are even valid. Things like "site has small following" or "forumcruft" are said, calling the page "vanity". Not to mention, all the arguements for the keeping of the site are totally ignored. This site is very well known in the metal/hardcore commmunity and has done a lot for it. Just because a messageboard decides to vandalize someone elses created work, that means it gets deleted? Great logic. (Unsigned comment by Butt (talk · contribs))
- The website article had incorrect information the first time it was created, not only that, but it was vandalized immediatly after creation. Read wikipedia's guidelines for viable website articles and you will see that Lambgoat meets the criteria for an acceptible article. 8 million hits per day is not a 'site with a small following'. (Unsigned comment by Butt (talk · contribs))
- You're the one who keeps marking it for deletion when in fact, there is no reason for it to be marked. So you are the one i'm going to complain to. You can't even come up with a reason at this moment, other than "a bunch of people with incorrect information marked it to be deleted". Please tell me what info on this page does not meet criteria and i will change it. (Unsigned comment by Butt (talk · contribs))
- oh ok, so basically the whole vfd policy just means admins can vote things off regardless of whether they meet wikipedia's criteria or not. none of the people who voted for deletion stated valid or accurate points, not only that but none of them stated how the article was against policy. ive read the policy on what meets criteria for a valid webpage article and lambgoat is within guidelines. however, im done with this arguement, wikipedia has failed me. (Unsigned comment by Butt (talk · contribs))
Recent Nihilus edit
I just want to point out that your edit summary is true only within the combined Jedi/Sith Force traditions; in other disciplines, Force-sensitivity can be taught. (For references see Timothy Zahn's Visions of the Future". --Maru 16:08, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
Thank you
Thank you for not flaming me like some others have done in the past, when I was only innocently trying to learn the ways of the Wikipedian. --(Unsigned comment by 70.149.89.38 (talk · contribs)
My User Page
Thanks for reverting the edits to my user page. That lad's just made because I voted to delete some nonsensical page he created. It's actually rather sad he feels the need to vandalize my user page. Anyway, thanks :-) --Soltak 22:21, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know how that goes. You're welcome. --Nufy8 22:35, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

As promised, one barn. Have fun! --Essjay · Talk 05:13, August 15, 2005 (UTC)

My user page
Nufy, thank you for keeping my user page clean. --SlimVirgin (talk) 00:32, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
- No problem. --Nufy8 00:35, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
RfA
Geez, Nufy8! Your user page vandalised 63 times? You must be doing something right! After noticing you on RC patrol and looking at your edit history, I believe you would benefit from the handy "rollback" button that we admins have (you won't believe how hassle-free it is to "rollback", compared to "manual reverting")... (and wouldn't it be nice to block all those vandals?) Anyways, would you like to become an admin? If so, just respond on my talk page, and I'd nominate you on WP:RfA. Thanks for your good work! --Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 01:00, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
- I'd vote for you. --Maru 02:41, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
- Nomination created; sorry for the delay. See WP:RfA, where you can accept and answer the questions. Good luck! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 00:05, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Vandalism?
I got two messages about vandalism, but I didn't edit a single page since this one: Sleen, about my home village. I don't get it :S? (Unsigned comment by 145.99.139.201 (talk · contribs)}
- I can see that's a lie from looking at your contributions. Please cease vandalizing. --Nufy8 18:02, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Barnstar Award
You haven't been given a Barnstar yet?? Well, here is one! --Wikipedianinthehouse 21:40, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
Martyrdom
Due to the constant vandalism your user page has been struck with, the Catholic Church of Wikipedia recognizes you as a martyr. Would you be at all be offended if we listed your name as such? --Acetic Acid 02:39, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Yay! Thank you! Good luck with your RFA. --Acetic Acid 02:45, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
- You have been canonized, and I hereby award you this Saint's Barnstar. Welcome to the fold! -- WikiPope Essjay · Talk 03:40, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Amen! --Nufy8 04:02, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
Yo
Hey Nufy8 wats goin on, I read some of ur post at some of the Star Wars character discussions, u seem to like Star Wars alot. And I would like to ask u if u wanted to, could u create an entry on this site about ur-self, just fo the heck of it? I was just wonderin. --Bestskinz187 7:51 PM 25 Aug. 2005 (Central Time)
- Did you look at his User page? --Maru 21:19, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
Catholic Church of Wikipedia
Maybe I am such a nerd that I don't get jokes, but could you explain the Catholic Church of Wikipedia thing? --Wikipedianinthehouse 22:08, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
I've made it!
My user page has been vandalized twice! I really feel like I have made it as a Wiki editor. I can only hope to achieve what you have in this area. May I use your "user page" vandalism tag on my page? --Wikipedianinthehouse 23:22, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
An abusive note
Right then, that's the last straw. I hereby voice my jealousy towards your internet connection and fast reflexes. How dare you fix vandalism before me? I try so hard, but what chance do I have when you fix vandalism less than a minute after it occurs?? Consider yourself abused!! :) --inks 00:00, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
Jtkiefer's RFA
Thanks for your support on my RFA. --Jtkiefer T | @ | C ----- 05:02, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

Adminship
It's my pleasure to inform you that, consensus being reached, you are now an admin :). I'd like to recommend that you read the reading list, but congratulations! Keep in mind that deletion of images and history merges are irreversible, and try to use caution in those two functions. That said, I'm sure you'll do fine :) --Pakaran 00:06, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- Yay :). --Nufy8 00:08, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- Ditto!
- /me does little dance to signify pleased-ness. --Maru 00:29, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- Congrats! Now... stop reverting all the good vandalisms before the rest of us get a chance to. ;-) --Func( t, c, @, ) 00:36, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- You can have my user page reverts :P. --Nufy8 00:56, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
Congrats
Congratulations, Nufy8, on surviving your RfA! (Using those tools already, I see :-)). I hereby present you with this vandal-fighting cello... stick those vandals out with the endpin! (just kidding)... anyways, congrats again. --Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 00:38, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks. What is that, a Stradivarius? :) --Nufy8 00:56, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks!

Crediting one's anonymous contributions
How do I do that? I was thinking back to my starting days on Wikipedia, and my first article (Buttercup Festival); but when I checked the edit history, it turns out I wrote it while anonymous! So I'd like the have the edits of 69.113.106.150 credited to me. For further substaniation, see my post on the BF forums here. --Maru 18:40, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
RFA
Wow! Thanks, I'm flattered that I have your confidence....that would be nice and very unexpected. I could really use that rollback button with all the vandal fighting and RC patrol I do. Here's hoping it goes ok! Rx StrangeLove 04:31, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
Re:RFA
Yes, I was also under the impression that Rx was already an admin until the nomination. Anyway, I would certainly enjoy having a rollback button to help with the vandal fighting, but like you said, I think I should wait until I get three months (Grm wnr also suggested the same thing). I think I also have enough edits for those with editcountitis. If you'd still be willing to nominate me in two or three weeks, I would gladly accept. I really appreciate the offer. Jaxl | talk 15:04, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
- Will do. Thanks again. Jaxl | talk 15:09, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
Popups tool
Congratulations on being made an admin! I thought you might like to know of a javascript tool that may help in your editing by giving easy access to many admin features. It's described at Wikipedia:Tools#Navigation_popups. The quick version of the installation procedure for admins is paste the following into User:Nufy8/Archive 1/monobook.js:
// [[User:Lupin/popups.js]] - please include this line document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/popups.js' + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>'); popupAdminLinks=true;
Give it a try and let me know if you find any glitches or have suggestions for improvements! Lupin 01:48, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
- Cool, something to accommodate my laziness :). Nufy8 02:07, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
The Raytheon on page was accidently deleted. I clicked on the link for Raytheon Missle Systems and deleted that page because it was identital to the Raytheon page. However, I have since removed teh redirect (which didnt appear the first time I viewed the page) -- unsigned comment by 199.46.199.237
- Thank you for explaining. Nufy8 20:23, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Well, my RfA has not quite completed yet, but either way, I'd like to thank you for your vote and your support, regardless of the outcome. -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 18:39, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

What should be done about advertising?
Hi, it's me again. I've just discovered the joys of Sam's "godmode lite" Javascript. Anyway, I came across this user while on RC Patrol: Terra-rent. S/He seems to be doing nothing but adding links to their car rental company wherever possible. What should be done? They have been warned, but not by any admins (I think)--inks 23:17, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
Your old friend 24.184.127.141

Darth Revan (KotoR)
(Darth) Revan was a Jedi Master. And not a Jedi Knight. You should change it, otherwise the article about Revan isn't right. --(Unsigned comment by 80.145.27.113 (talk · contribs))
- Well, maybe it's not "official", but I read that Revan was a Jedi Master.
- You can read it on this page: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=https%3A%2F%2F1.800.gay%3A443%2Fhttp%2Fwww.starwars-union.de%2Findex.php%3Fid%3Dspiele_kotor2tsl_chroniken%26seite%3D9&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=de&ie=UTF8
- Google.com translated the text, because it's originally a german website.
- There you can read following sentence:
- "While the fire torches/flares of the war in the galaxy rage, the Jedi Master REVAN investigates secretly unknown sectors." (google translation)
- You see, the articles are about the "Chronicles of the Sith". They all should be correct. --(Unsigned comment by 80.145.21.192 (talk · contribs))

- Due to the increased vandalism, I plan to contribute in Spanish and Portuguese. I will still be here, but plan to put my work here on a minimal level. (There were days I contributed 100 times, now I not going to do that in a year. The main reason is because I have too much stuff to do (i.e. work and school), but I've have a bad taste in my mouth left from arrogant Wikipedians.Molotov (talk)

Team Fortress Classic Reply
Yeah, I checked reference the disarming, and it is indeed true, although I can't remember it from my time as a clanner (I used to own one of the more sucessful TFC clans; GTX, and I frequently played at the scout). The 'crowbar scout' is a rarely used name for a even rarer phenomena, it isn't done frequently enough to be regarded as fact! The lack of edit reasons was due to me being a bit new to Wikipedia, I'm still not 100% sure how it works, and only really registered to make that edit and a few entries.
I'm not a vandal, if that's what you've got on your mind! :) --CitrusC 22:19, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
- Ok, I'll readd the crowbar scout bit and edit it slightly to show it's a more towards a POV than factual information. Sorry for any misunderstanding, this system is a touch overwelming at first! --CitrusC 23:26, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
