Your RfBTitoxd, I added a question to your RfB, didn't vote support (yet) but do wish you luck on it. xaosflux Talk/CVU 05:42, 11 February 2006 (UTC) Good Evening!Hey Titoxd, I just wanted to drop you a comment since your talk page seems so empty! You're a great contributer, and a great admin, but I'm sorry to say that Shanel is mine. Good day to you! --lightdarkness (talk) 07:55, 11 February 2006 (UTC) I'm filling your talk pageAs requested. :) <3, <3, <3, <3, <3, <3, <3, <3, <3, <3, <3, <3, <3, <3, <3, <3, <3, <3, <3, <3, --Shanel 07:57, 11 February 2006 (UTC) IRCI see you're editting. Do you fancy coming over the IRC? --Celestianpower háblame 08:14, 11 February 2006 (UTC) User:206.152.117.84I see you recently added a "last warning" to their talk page regarding a block. I just reverted more vandalism by them on the Richard Nixon page, this user had blanked it, so I guess its probably block time. Thanks! --Naha|(talk) 00:29, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Jonathan MinnickThanks for editing the site, there are some strange people going around —Preceding unsigned comment added by MshnryMan (talk • contribs) 05:26, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Domo arigato gozimasu.Apparently my user page isn't a virgin to being vanalized anymore. Ouch. Thanks for catching it. Once again, another argument for denying unregistered users the privilege to help edit/write an encylopedia and build a community in the process. Grrr. --CJ Marsicano 06:02, 12 February 2006 (UTC) ThanksThanks for reverting vandalism on my talk page. One day as an administrator and... CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 21:58, 12 February 2006 (UTC) Re:RfRHi Titoxd. I replied at RfR talk. I don't think the proposal is new, particularly, but a recycling of the old one. I think those (of you) who would see RfR have really got to tackle the problems in the poll. These range from the philosophical to the procedural. So re-proposing broadly the same procedure (in the rather half-thought-out way that is there at present) really doesn't make much difference, to me at least. Talrias seems determined to conjure a consensus out of that poll whichever way he can: he's now suggesting that by reforming the process to a currently-arbitrary degree allows the claiming of sufficient support from that poll which was on a proposal that none of the pollees can be said to have ever considered! RfR needs to think out of the box, in a big way. -Splashtalk 23:09, 12 February 2006 (UTC) Aw, you too? :) Status templatesHey, thought I'd let you know that I thought your statue things are cool and I will be using them on my user page. Thanks!!! Flying Canuck 04:30, 13 February 2006 (UTC) vandalsLooks like you are the new RexNL for now (almost). Vandalism is not being reverted as fast at this time....and there is more of it...thanks for manningng the RC front.

Such a pretty user talk page, I don't like ruining it by writing all over it. Well, anyways, I saw that you were successful at getting Hurricane Dennis to featured status. There is another hurricane-related article up for peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review/Hurricane Floyd/archive1. Would you mind taking a look and offering some advice? --maclean25 09:18, 13 February 2006 (UTC) Another Esperanzial note...Hi again Esperanzians!

As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter". The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone. Yours, as ever, Esperanzially, Hey, I saw the block log for this one. *feels so special* ;)--Shanel 22:09, 13 February 2006 (UTC) Happy Valentine's day!
Valentines DayUser:Tawker wishes you a happy and fun Valentines Day Re: Yet more ToolcruftUpdated in the sandbox! It's a bit buggy (it says I have 109% edit summary usage...!?) and crashes with one person's contribs (see the Sandbox, it's in the Stats.java output sections), but it's getting there... I had to change PurgeContribs a little bit though; hope you don't mind.... --AySz88^-^ 08:31, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
cfdThere are a few TC categories for deletion. Take a look at [[2]] if you're interested in deleting them. There may be more coming. — jdorje (talk) 23:18, 14 February 2006 (UTC) Greetings, Titoxd. Can you keep an eye on Karameh? An anon who you dealt with earlier (201.6.93.73) removed valid material and links from that page and replaced it with a lengthy highly POV copyvio tract, and also deleted a warning about such copyvios from the talk page. I suspect that the same individual is responsible for almost identical copyvio tracts inserted previously. Since I am responsible for most of the current material, I wish to avoid the appearance of bias that might arise if I use my admin powers with respect to the situation. Cheers! bd2412 T 03:00, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Barnstar Vandal removalGreat catch on the Jim Corbett page - how did you find it? Did you just track one user who was replacing entries with squid images? Thanks for your work!! Bruxism 04:40, 16 February 2006 (UTC) Hi Titoxd, thanks for your support in my RFA, which succeeded. If I can ever improve or help in any way, please let me know! :) —Quarl (talk) 2006-02-16 11:52Z CorrectionWorld War II was never a featurd article; it was a featured article candidate.

Admin coachingSorry for not getting back to you earlier. Yes, everything was clear as water, thank you! I have one question, completely unrelated to what you've told me before. I know there are various logs recording my wiki activities (page moves, block log, et. al) and I was wondering if you knew of a centralized place where I could access them all. I'm eagerly awaiting my next lesson (providing you've got the time, of course). Your explanations have been excellent so far! -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 16:36, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Advisory Council pageI am buliding a page for the EsperanzaAdvisory Council. I would like your help on it (you're a member of the council), and encourage others to help as well. It is located at:Wikipedia:Esperanza/Advisory Council. ;) WikieZach| talk 02:15, 24 February 2006 (UTC) Is the collateral damage really worth it?Dear Titoxd (titanium oxide? :-D), As an AOL member I am an involuntary user of whatever dynamic IP AOL in its wisdom assigns to me. As it happens, that IP currently seems to be 205.188.116.203, which was "autoblocked" under your signature. I discovered this when I tried to correct an error I made in Jaco Van Dormael, a page I recently created. I do appreciate that the problem of vandalism has to be dealt with in some way, but I am starting to get frustrated at the way administrators like yourself are dealing with it. This is not the first time I have been an innocent victim of autoblocking (what the blocking page calls "collateral damage"). In fact, it has happened to me three times in the last week (each time with a different IP). It's all very well to say that "Occasionally, users with dynamic IPs will be blocked accidentally." I would not call three times a week occasional. If my experience as an AOL user is typical (and I have no reason to believe otherwise), the extent of collateral damage must be massive, raising the question of whether this cure for vandalism isn't worse than the disease. I could just patiently wait for the block to expire (again), but I feel I should at least bring the larger problem to your attention in hopes that as an administrator, you might be able to suggest alternative ways of dealing with it. This is not just about me; if every earnest Wikipedia contributor who has the misfortune to be at the mercy of a dynamic IP gets blasted like this three times a week, I would call that a significant problem. Oh, and a PS: As I can't correct my own mistake, I would appreciate if you could edit Jaco Van Dormael for me. I got the hierarchy of subheads the wrong way round; "Short films" and "Feature films" are supposed to be subheads of "Filmography" Vremya 09:20, 24 February 2006 (UTC) Update: After considerable further research I discovered this proposal and declared my support, as it sounds like just the sort of thing that might help to solve this problem. Sorry if you feel I've wasted your time, but at the time I had no idea who else to turn to Vremya 22:33, 24 February 2006 (UTC) Big changes to Flcelloguy's ToolI found that if you change the name of the person, the contributions of both people become addded together. In fixing that (and, at the same time, implementing tons of things I'd been putting off), I implemented two new classes. The tool now works great for downloading, but I didn't re-implement parsing from saved files (and all that functionality is being moved to the new StatBundle class). It needs to parse the username from the file and then display it in the "username" field anyway. I'm still working on it, but if you're around, hop on IRC and message me (I'm not in any channels but I'm online), and I'll upload copies of everything. --AySz88^-^ 00:58, 25 February 2006 (UTC) Re: Tool error

Re: Admin CoachingWell, my coachee seems to be slightly catatonic ;-) I could probably handle someone else at this point. —Kirill Lokshin 06:47, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi Titoxd, Aaron has been assigned to Mailer Diablo and me, and due to several circumstances, we've only just taken off. Although it doesn't take enormous amounts of time, I'd like to limit it to one at the time, so I can't help you with your backlog right now, sorry! It's great though, that the project gets such an amount of interest! --JoanneB 10:50, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
The only problem with mine is there is a huge timezone difference which makes it hard. Would it be possible to move me to someone else and keep Drini and Snurks working together? Plus, he already knows most of it. --Celestianpower háblame 13:11, 26 February 2006 (UTC) My trainee has been very sporadic, I think I could help with an other trainee. (As you have already placed an other one for me I see). I'm more than happy to help with the back log! KnowledgeOfSelf 14:29, 26 February 2006 (UTC) Brusselsshrek hasn't contacted either myself or Shanel since we notified him of the coaching. In any case though, I left Esperanza a while ago, so I think that kind of renders me ineligible to participate in the program anymore... Robert 17:05, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Sure. My coachee hasn't really asked much of me, mostly of my partner, so I'd be glad to assist someone else. Thanks, Mysekurity 21:42, 26 February 2006 (UTC) Hi, Tito. I'd be happy to help out a new coachee if needed; Banes's and my current one has proven to be quite capable so far. Regards, Sango123 (e) 00:02, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the protection - I was just about to do the same thing and have already listed the page on WP:PP. (ESkog)(Talk) 01:34, 27 February 2006 (UTC) Hi Tixotd. Wikipedia started using the death toll from my blog a few months back without me even asking. Someone suggested using my blog as a source; they said, "I know it's a blog and that sounds bad, but it looks like he has backed his sources up pretty well." After some debate, Wikipedia's Hurricane Katrina entry started using my death toll. Since then, I have occasionally updated it with totals from my blog. Since my blog was already being used as a source by Wikipedia, I think that the controversy by you and the other source is a bit over the top. Furthermore, although you guys think you are deleting my edit, the Hurricane Katrina piece is continuing to use my blog as a death toll source, as it has for months now. My sources for each state are are listed in each update of the death toll. In my most recent entry, which is being referenced on Kos, the source for each state (a newspaper article) is listed in a table at the end of the piece. You are free to check it out for yourself if you wish. The controversial entries regarding Ohio, Kentucky and evacuees now have names and ages of those killed in Kentucky and Ohio, dates, locations and causes of their deaths , along with the titles, dates and authors of the newspaper articles referring to the incidents. There is also a reference to the title, date and author of the article that refers to the 57 evacuee deaths caused by Katrina. The rest of the total is not controversial, but there are links to current, valid, newspaper articles for all totals for those who wish to check them out. I have been keeping track of the Katrina death toll for months now and no one has challenged my methodology yet. The toll is regularly updated and occasionally lowered if need be. Conflicting totals given in various news piece are weighed before I decide which one to use. Feel free to check out my data. The mainstream media has dropped the ball on this story and I picked it up. (Robert Lindsay)(Talk) 04:3527 February 2006 (PST) Re: Admin CoachingYou're welcome; I'm glad to help out.

My final good-byesHello Tito. I came to tell all my friends, yes, that means you, that I am leaving Wikipedia. Thank you for being so kind to me during my stay on Wikipedia. I hope to speak with you again someday. (If you're wondering, Im the former SWD316. I only added this because we haven't talked in a while) Moe ε 06:23, 28 February 2006 (UTC) Your attention to this article is greatly appreciated by the members of WP:PW. Is it possible to have this entry semi-protected so that only registered users can edit it? This article has been the target of more than a few nonsense edits, vandalism, and unsubstantiated information; the majority of it being added by unregistered users. - Chadbryant 03:12, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm undeleting Asim Khan and listing it for Wikipedia:Proposed deletion because the page does assert notability ("acclaimed", "most favorite"). The assertions are somewhat specious, but CSD doesn't consider that. Superm401 - Talk 22:36, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
I didnt mean to put that.I did not mean to put that for the statement. It is a term used in those countries by some and some what in Europe also. (XGustaX 22:57, 1 March 2006 (UTC)) HeyHey Well Its hard to find a english source about Euro America its mostly a thing used by as almost Slang. I am guessing it is a new term coming out. So I can not really say heres an article that explains it. Then again many articles on Wikipedia work like this. Whether you are speaking about Slang or not. (XGustaX 23:03, 1 March 2006 (UTC)) GreetingsHey I was glad to upload the Super Task Force Episode List. I will now be updating this as new Titles are confirmed. Also I can help update that Power Rangers Episodes Page if you want for dates.
