RE:AWB Shutdown
I was only doing it on ones that have plenty of extra space, and for the most part I've been trying to avoid them, and I was using the spell checker for articles. :x 22:45, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * K, would it be possible to just do the spellchecker/other things other than whitespace removal? It really isn't needed. 22:46, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll just check that checkbox. 22:47, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. 22:47, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Would you mind if I also use it to basically simplify the code like making this: Pagename  into this  Pagename  ?  23:01, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * What's wrong with whitespace removal? It's AWB on an AWB-designated account. Let him do whatever he wants (short of vandalism, of course). 23:09, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Block reasons
MediaWiki:Ipbreason-dropdown has a list of common block reasons. Is there a way to customize that list in my userspace? 20:29, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, sorry. That would be handy. Why not make some changes to the existing ones? 20:29, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * My problem is that it misspells "Vandalizing". However, if I fix the spelling mistake, I'm going to have hordes of angry sysops at my door. 20:31, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, actually, vandalizing is the spelling error. It is correctly spelt vandalising. Also, to see who's right, why don't we look at who created this wonderful language. I win :P 20:32, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, who created it is a matter of debate, because we don't really know. All we know is that English is based on the Germanic tongue. It was only named English because most of its speakers ended up in England. Furthermore, who created it is fairly irrelevant. Whoever has the best military and economy gets to be the cultural imperialist and dictate such matters. If we were in 19th century Victorian England, then vandalising is the correct spelling. However, since we're in the modern era, American gets to be the cultural imperialist and therefore vandalizing is currently correct.
 * Noah Webster (of Webster's dictionary fame), changed things like honour to honor, theatre to theater, analyse to analyze, etc, because at that time, not very many Americans were too pleased with the British, having just fought two wars against England. Fortunately, America is strong enough to have its spelling counted as correct.  20:36, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * America's power is fading fast, and for that matter so are all western nations. All of these spellings are wrong; vandalising should actually be spelt 塗鴉. :P 20:39, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * America's power is fading, but it's still the best country in the world right now. Therefore, until the evil communists can take over, VANDALIZING is correct. 20:40, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

Evilbot's userpage and talk
You saw that someone stopped it (when it was running too) so can you semiprotect the user page and talk so this doesn't happen again. I have to log out of this account, log in to Evilbot, click the "New message" log out, log in to Evil1888 again... bothersome. The shutdown button may be a bit too tempting to some. 19:19, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't really see that being a problem, but I've done it anyways. 19:21, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

The summarizing of locations was inaccurate (I checked) and unnecessary, given the map that was directly above it. 03:06, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Sitenotice message
I have a problem with this message:
 * "The image attribution has been re-added to articles, as it violates Wikia's new terms of use."

The problem here is that it's unclear who or what violated Wikia's terms of use. Was it the image attribution? That would not make sense because that would mean something that violates the terms of use as added back in to articles. Was it a lack of image attribution? If it was, it needs to say that.

Hilite Stuff
I don't want to turn the crown discussions into hilite discussions, so I'm going to leave this here.

This past summer, I attended an event for high school students. The event was planned and run by people of the same age group as I, with some assitence from adults as to ensure the planners were able to participate in the events. Other than the fact that they planned the event and occasionally had to officiate in one thing or another, they were there participating in the event with everyone else. When I showed up for the first day, I was given a blue t-shirt with a design pertaining to the event. Those on the planning committee wore a green shirt of the same design (I bet you can see where this is going). When I had a question about the sleeping arrangements, the schedule, or who actually had the answer to my previously mentioned question about the sleeping arrangements; I knew the people wearing green shirts had the answer, or at least knew where to go to find it. Never, at any time, did I assume that those with the green shirts were better than me in any way. There was no logical reason to assume that because I had a blue shirt and a smaller group of people had green shirts that those with the green shirts were superior. The green shirt benefit me on a regular basis, and if they had not thought of it ahead of time, I would have suggested it to the planning committee the following year (which I found out recently I've been asked to serve on).

Now, back to the wiki. I realized earlier today how many similarities that story has to the current situation (I didn't even have to change the colours of the shirts to make it fit better). People are worrying that we are decreacing the equality of our userbase by virtue of colouring the names of admins. What is being ignored here is that the colour of a name has no effect on the true equality of the individual, only how they are treated. We strictly enforce that administrators have no authority over others, and as long as this remains the case, that's all that matters. As long as the things that actually make us equal remain as they are now, we are equal. The colour and the crown image are all irrelevant, as neither of them make a difference when it counts. When it comes to the weight of our opinions, how we treat others, and our place in the community, we are nothing short of equal.

21:03, October 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not as much concerned with the hilite violating AEAE as I am with the hilite being stupid and completely unnecessary. The issue is that the wiki doesn't and doesn't need to work like that. There is never, ever, ever a time when you need to know who an administrator is that the hilite solves. If you need to have something that requires sysop tools, RS:AR. If you ever need to specifically contact an administrator, RS:ADMIN provides more information than the hilite does. If you need to report a vandal, RS:CVU. There is never an occasion where you should contact someone based on a hilited username; and I give the example of User:Chrislee33. A little while ago, he came on for a couple of minutes and made some small changes to the RuneScape:Administrators page. After that, he went inactive again. Say a new user cam and was looking through the RC, and saw Chrislee33's hilited name. That user then assumes that Chrislee33 is a good person to ask for help, and does so (despite the existence of RS:UH). Chrislee33 responds to him... in two years. Please, give me just one example of where a hilite is actually needed.
 * There is also the smaller AEAE problem. It is assumed that Administrators, by default, know more than other users. The hilite reinforces this, even though it isn't true. Also, the green hilite can, and does make people assume that all admin's edits are perfect, and people rarely check them. While very few admins vandalise, many are actually humans and can make mistakes. Yet another example of how the hilite is detrimental, not helpful.
 * Now, like all things, there are exceptions: bot hilites. Bot hilites are the #1 most ingenious invention on the planet, because it it great to know which edits were made by machines, and for checking to make sure that bots aren't asploding. And no, that can not be flipped around and used as an argument for admins; admins are just regular users. 22:04, October 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * While there are some users who know more than some admins, in general, admins have a pretty good grip on what's going on. Because this is the case, like the green shirt analogy I gave above, it's a pretty safe bet that an admin will know the answer to any question a new user may have. I say "new user" because new users have likely never heard of RS:UH in their lives. When I was at the event I've been referencing, I realized instantly that the minority group with different coloured shirts were officiating, because that's a natural conclusion given what I observed. This theory was validated when it came up in a conversation a few hours in. If there was some help center at the building I was in, I didn't know about it, because nobody had mentioned it to me yet. It could have been mentioned in the small handbook they gave me upon arriving (I'm equating this to welcome notices now), but I don't always notice these things. At the same time, custom welcome notices may skip pages like UH all together. Anyway, after the new user asks the admin a question, the admin can answer their question and redirect them to UH for any other questions they may have. Again, The target audience of the name hilites are the new users, because they don't always start with all the information they need, like where to go for help. As for the assumption that people will assume all edits by admins are perfect, I simply don't see how that works. The only time I phase out all admin edits are when I'm scanning for vandalism, because whenever that happens it's fun to watch. You sound like you have observed this before (I'm basing this on the comment "Also, the green hilite can, and does make people assume that all admin's edits are perfect"). Can you provide an example of this taking place? 23:50, October 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * First of all, your logic is flawed. We have RS:UH for that specific reason, and new users should be directed there, instead of to the super awesome dictators of the site. Also, administrators are not "officiating", in your words. We are "maintaining". At that particular event, did you see any of the people who were cleaning up the mess afterwords wearing green shirts? I doubt it. And that is what you should be likening an administrator to, not your fantasies for power associated with the position. And quite frankly I don't care what you think about that last part; at any rate, you are putting waaaay too much emphasis on the tools. I'll go back to the new users again; instead of being directed to the people with the pretty names, they should be directed to RS:UH and RS:AR. That is why those pages exist. If the welcome notices don't link to them, then make them. It isn't that hard.
 * I find it actually kind of funny that you are unable to see any of the effects on new users that the green hilite has. I know them because I experienced them when I was first a user here, over a year ago. Perhaps you don't see them as such because you still have fantasies of adminship being more than it is. When you see a username in a different colour, especially a decorative one (as opposed to say, black), one naturally assumes that those users are different than others. Not necessarily that they are better, but that they are different. Then the user clicks the pretty link that stands out, and sees the admin crown and userbox. They get welcomed with a link to RuneScape:Administrators instead of RS:UH. They make a beginners error and are warned by another person with a pretty green name. All of these things form the impression that administrators are "better". Granted, the hilites aren't the entire problem, but they can certainly be a source of it.
 * Anyways, if you are going to continue this, don't give me anymore bs about users not knowing where UH and AR are, and that they need to go to admins instead. That can be so easily fixed that I don't even know why you bring it up. And for the last part, when I was a new user I assumed that the people with the pretty green names didn't make mistakes, and while I patrolled the RC for vandalism, I certainly did not check any of their edits. 03:54, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think you missed some of what I said. I did mention that the admin should have the user redirect their questions to RS:UH thereafter, because new users will not know that RS:UH exists unless somebody tells them. I never said administrators were officiating, though I do think their purpose can be equated to that of those at the event (and yes, they did have to clean up afterwords). I don't know what you're talking about when you say I have "fantasies of power associated with the position," as I can assure you, I understand adminship is non-authoritative. Finally, please don't make personal accusations. By saying "Perhaps you don't see them as such because you still have fantasies of adminship being more than it is," among other things, you've turned this debate into something it's not, and therefore, I am not going to continue this any longer. 20:24, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not attacking you, or not intending to anyways. Also, you are not listening to anything that I'm saying. I am saying that yes, perhaps new users don't know about RS:UH, but they should. It would be much better if they were somehow directed there, be it through welcome templates or whatever, instead of to administrators. So, some YG drama will be required to figure out how that will work, but until then, please at least provide some indication as to why hiliting admins is a good idea. And I do believe that the last thing I said in my above paragraph was to not give me anymore of the "new users see admins first" stuff, because as I say, that is something we should fix. 22:29, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I decline to comment, as I've already commit to not continuing this discussion. However, I'd be interested to see what proposal you can come up with concerning the regulation of welcome notices. Please don't respond to this comment, in an effort to bring this discussion to an end. 00:57, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * It would sit much better with me if instead of just ending the discussion... because... if you actually ended the discussion by providing any reasoning for the hilite that I haven't shot down multiple times. But I will be starting a forum soon. 01:02, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

Because I want this message to have nothing to do with the above
Just reverted (fail) vandalism to your page by some user. He had been on a vandalism spree the time leading up to the block I just gave him, which justifies the same block I've been talking about. 20:48, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

Cow Drops - That wasn't a test. -_-
Thanks for taking the time to actually check before removing it. Cows DO now drop Staff of Air and Slings, possibly other items. Before reverting people's changes and writing them off as "Tests" I suggest you actually check to make sure they are valid first.

On a side note, it seems to be your B-Day? Happy Birthday :P
