User talk:Calebchiam

I have archived my talkpage for the sixteenth time. I archive after every 50 sections or so. On my talkpage, please remember to be civil and polite. If you ask, I'll be glad to add you to my friends list. Also, remember not to leave messages like this after I archive (referring to certain dubious individuals). Thanks.

Just asking.
IS there a way that you can Verify to User:Charitwo that I am not User:ZamorakO o's Sock-puppet? 22:29, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Featured image protection
I don't really understand the point of semi-protecting featured images... First off, only sysops can move files so "[move=autoconfirmed]" is utterly pointless, so that just leaves editing... Don't you need to be autoconfirmed to upload? If so, that's pointless too. 07:52, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * K, the upload part makes sense but move is still pointless.  08:04, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Since featured images shouldn't be changed why isn't the the upload but sysop as well? 08:07, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Fest Mod
Sure, why not. Who else will be moderating? I expect you/chicken, anyone else? 13:28, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm serious not a talk page stalker. Well, not much of one anyways. You could try http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=cvn-wikia-runescape for connecting to IRC. 13:59, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I will make sure I am available if you need me, but with 2 or three mods already I doubt you will. I don't see all that many people coming. Hope that changes though.-- 15:28, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'm available at that time. (and its 11am for me =o ) 11:02, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Wikifest
You could always add a race into the wikifest which includes the marker seeds sold by the guy in the desert ;D 14:13, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Haha, No problem, I've got hundreds of ideas if you ever want to give a good listen to them as it seems the Wikifest is just a constant repeat of each season... =/ 14:15, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

The qwbirc and java gateways were closed, probably the cgi as well. I don't know why, others on different sites can still reach freenode. It may be a spambot/clonebot attack from them. The only thing you can do is get a client, instead of connecting through a gateway. 19:25, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Scratch that, when I checked it was working again. 19:29, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Bullet points
I think they make it look very un-discussion like. Unless there's a policy that says I have to use them, I'd rather avoid it. 14:03, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll go back and add them if it's that big of a deal. 14:10, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, feel free to I guess. 14:16, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

Edit conflicts
I just realised that I must be giving you tons of edit conflicts while your trying to set up a YG thread.. I'll come back in an hour... Hmmm there should be a template for that. - 08:14, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Wikifest
Want to take your name off the contestant sign-up now as mine will serve as an example? - 12:30, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Fest thread looks good. You can remove the current hider thing, that was something I forgot to remove during the race event for the last fest. I noticed all of your mods are from the west. I am not sure why you did this, though it does not really matter for the fest to move forward. 13:45, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry about me, I'm usually up at that time. 14:09, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

BTW Caleb, I'd like to volunteer for hunt/hide n seek as a hider if you haven't picked them yet - 02:20, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Eastern Wikifest
Hey, I'd like to volunteer myself to be a fest mod as I have noticed there are only people from the Western Hemisphere there. I'm sure they will be avaliable, but I'm sure having someone fully awake would be useful. Also, I know I said I might be late. But I'm doing my best. Thanks, 08:18, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, just remember that I'll be late 05:59, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, what does a Fest mod actually do? 08:53, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * I see, thanks. Is there anything else that I should know that isn't already on the Forum page? 10:38, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, cheers and good night. 10:41, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

TYVVVM for letting me be a hider =D Oh, and if any of the fest mods don't make it on the day I'd be more than happy to be a back-up as I live in Australia and it'll only be like 6pm - 12:35, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

-Hiders- I would imagine it will depend on how fast they get found. Three to four is most likely plenty.--Degenret01 13:07, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Probably not a good idea for me, as I'm not good at that cuz what I like makes no sense whatsoever. 05:57, August 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, I will be a judge. Do we have an idea of the numbers expected? It it going to be 4 of us judging three attendants?--Degenret01 07:00, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, why not? 08:13, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

You have so many sections of your talk page regarding the fest I wasn't sure which one to use so I chose randomly. Anyhows, sure, I can do the muting/unmuting if you can't.--Degenret01 15:07, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Time change
I can actually do next week no problem. I am taking some vacation time. If we get it on the site-notice today that will give us 6 days to make people aware of it, plenty of time I should think.--Degenret01 13:19, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

"Shoutout - We still need 2-3 more hiders"
Can I hide? I like to hide! (may even think of riddles) 08:22, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Question
Not that I am going to ask you to change your decision, but I am curious..was there not much, much more support for a 3-month block for Composite4 than there was for a 1-month block? I only noticed a few people that wanted the 1-month block. Did I miss something? 18:17, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Makes sense, thanks. 17:47, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Re:Wikicapes
Thanks for the comment. I guess that's true. I'm just a little apprehensive, as if people disagree and have all these arguments, it could mess up the values and public opinion of the project. I'll upload them when I get a chance. Cheers, 11:22, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

fest change
You shoulda told all the mods about it, I had no clue til I realised it said 6 days, not 13. I can still make it no problem, but just a little warning next time would be good. 22:16, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Checkuser request
Hi Caleb, I was wondering if you could run a checkuser on User:LiquidHelmIsANub. I have a feeling it might be User:Rwojy. I've temporarily blocked it, because I highly doubt it's not a sockpuppet. Thanks. 02:12, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, Rwojy says it's not him, and he also told me it's unacceptable username regardless of whether or not it's a sockpuppet. Scratch the request then. Sorry for bothering you, 02:14, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Rwojy says it's almost certainly a sockpuppet, and he wants to find out who it is. He said that it's almost certainly a user who was present in the IRC at the time, since I created User:Liquidhelm a few minutes beforehand and permanently blocked it to take the username. When it was mentioned in the IRC, the LiquidHelmIsANub account was created. I have a screenshot of who was in the CVU at the time. It's here. If you don't want to bother with this, it's alright. Thanks in advance if you do. 02:24, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Related(?) checkuser request for User:Liquidhelm. 02:44, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

The checkuser was done by request, by User:VegaDark, a vstf member. I have the results, but I would like to keep them off the wiki unless it is necessary, to keep the drama potential down. I will tell liquidhelium, and he can decide if he wants to proceed to a thread, because it is an unusual case. Also, liquidhelm above was created by Liquidhelium, to thwart potential impersonation. 03:23, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Colour
In the past we have made the the Sitenotice message the same colour scheme as the fest page. To change the sitenotice would imply the page itself should also be changed, so I thought he best talk to you. 12:47, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

FIMG
Hi Caleb, as Forum:Featured image modification has reached consensus, I have implemented the changes. Since you're someone who frequently moderates the FIMG page, I would like to let you know that from now on, images may no longer be nominated by the same person who uploaded it. 17:30, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Those who have good intent will not be ignored. I put that up there because people were starting to use British spelling to piss me off. 13:24, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, also, since closed nominations are archives, when you close them can you please semi-protect them also? I spammed up the protection log today protecting every single one of those pages. Thanks, 14:19, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Please stop
Can you please stop sending me that message, I understand, lol Thanks,

Italay90 17:07, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Some great, yet unused images...
Hi, I just found some great images, yet I don't know where to put them. They are on Special:UnusedFiles. Cheers, --Coolnesse 13:37, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * What about File:Speed5-4anim.gif and File:Speed6-5anim.gif ? [[File:OK.gif]] --Coolnesse 12:52, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've found some Wikifest images! --Coolnesse 14:51, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * What about this? --Coolnesse 17:55, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

Dave Lopo/Blog?
Hey Calebchiam! You deleted a speedy deletion tag on this page, and I am curious as to what the page is. It doesn't have anything linking to it, and I'm not really sure what it means. I'm not sure if it's use is over now, and it can be deleted. 17:12, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see, that makes sense. Thanks for responding! 14:23, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Volatile Dweevil's Inter-wiki Rally
"Rebellion is nigh..." This sounds like the opening to a story or film, but this is what is happening at wikia right now. Even as we speak, wikia is developing a new mandatory skin style for ALL WIKIS. There are few ways to thwart them, but thwart them we must. I request your aid in my dangerous quest by asking you to post a message on the Media Wiki Site Message page in red, bold letters advising all users that we are in a code red situation and we must message wikia Every time we log on with the contact button on the bottom of normal articles telling them which wikis we want to keep Monaco on. We could also make petitions, but persistent messaging will most certainly work, this method has worked several times for persistent parents around the globe who want to get their high schoolers into a certain class, and I believe it will work now. If just one user does this, than wikia can block them, but if whole wikis do this, they will have a flooded server of unhappy emails and will be forced to eventually comply. If they shut off the messaging system than we will post on the staff members' talk pages, which will become equally crowded and they will be forced to comply. Trust me on this one, it will work. In the meantime, create a backup Monaco.css just in case they delete it.

Your fellow user, Volatile Dweevil (talk:Volatile_Dweevil Talk)

Eastern Wikifest Burn the GE
I think the "Burn the GE" event should be before the Group Photo taking; was this a mistake as group photo taking is still marked as the end of the fest. Also, in case you haven't noticed, August 29 is still Winter. 10:50, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

GEMW
These ip's 'vandalized' Exchange:Shark page, they're adding raw sharks price (which is 785 gp, and cooked shark is 888): 115.64.98.134, 204.38.20.222. Maybe you should block them or something?

-- 17:21, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Taken care of.  17:31, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Username change
Hi, this user S9937824g needs help in changing his name, as it is his/her NRIC. I advised him to change it to prevent his identity from being stolen. 05:43, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Nvm, it's taken care of. 05:44, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

A bit late, i know
I saw something on Psycho's talk that is not true.

I only own user:Joeytje, not Judytje. Judytje is my brother(why would i make images on another account with worse graphics, while i can make better images) And judytje1 is there because he didn't understand how to do it, i made an account just the moment he found out and he made his alternative, Judytje1.

Just to make clear. 00:33, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Non-updating logins
I noticed that when you go to the list of admins here, the wiki stopped refreshing when people last logged in/edited. I'm assuming this is a general wiki problem? 21:51, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

rfd's
It may have been since your wikibreak, but encase you didn't know there is a slightly different way to close rfd's. All active ones have at the top and  at the bottom of the page. When you turn it into an archive all you need to do is change to. Hopefully that made sense to you. 04:07, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

Re:IP banned
Hey, Freenode must have banned your IP from the network for whatever reason. If you are using a wireless router for internet connection, you can change your IP but unplugging it and plugging it back in again. If you don't use a router, then I'll contact Freenode and ask them to remove the ban. 15:18, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Rollback
There was a thread somewhere. I'll go look for it. I thought it was 200, but was told that it was 500. 15:29, October 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Whoops, misread that. I think Forum:Additional requirements for the rollback group deals with it. I'll go change it to 200. 15:30, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Re:Sandboxes

Hey, could you do a CheckUser on user:ChristineV? It's a brand new account and it's a little sus in the circumstances. Thanks - 14:04, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

welcome back im 09:44, October 31, 2010 (UTC). i have just come across yuor userpage and your skill levels are wrong. i just wanted to point that out. thanks! 09:44, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Signature
I'm not sure where to go/what to do for this, but I'm pretty sure this signature violates being able to identify the user and excessively long. 12:02, November 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * And this one too for multiple sigs. :/ 12:06, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Easier way to merge page history
Special:MergeHistory was enabled here. This allows pages to be merged very easily; all you need to do is type in the name of the page going to be merged, and the page it should be merged into. Cheers, 13:29, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Delisting
I've never closed a FIMG discussion before, though I figured somebody other than one of the regular FIMG-closers should try it. 14:36, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

A little help
As I see, the wiki is being a bit threatened. I am just to pass by a message that a regional blocking method is available, using IP:XX.XX.XX.XX/K where K is a number to limit the area to be blocked. The binary form of an IP address is divided into 32 bits, and by altering K the area can be selected, where the first K bits are fixed but other are variable. For example 123.123.0.0/17 will block 123.123.0.0 to 123.123.127.255, for 123.123.0.0 = 01111011 01111011 00000000 00000000, where K will limit the first 17 bits, that is 01111011 01111011 0XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX. The last 15 bits are not limited. However, it is a rather dangerous tool and if some policies already stated that we can't use it, just ignore this and take it for reference. This should lessen much of proxy war effort. 14:14, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

CVU
"May have been intentional, but even then it's a little too minor" did you look at his contribs? he done lots of vandalism, and did not listen to the warning. This shows that this must be a bad faith editor, as good faith editors first: don't vandalise, and second: listen to warnings. I think this user should be blocked because of repeatedly vandalising the wiki. 11:14, November 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, can IPs change? I didn't know... Sry then. 11:35, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

That guy just now did one vandal edit... wasn't that a bit harsh to block him? >_> I don't even report to CVU until their 3rd vandal edit... You might want to block this guy then Special:Contributions/86.134.34.52 - 10:08, November 24, 2010 (UTC)
