For reverting the vandalism on my page. TN X Man 13:23, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
No problem.-- Skater ( talk) 14:36, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

I am trying to initialize
Lupin's Anti-Vandal tool on Internet explorer, however it is not working. On my monobook.js file I have it entered as importScript('User:Lupin/recent2.js'); and was wondering if I had it entered wrong or if it's just not compatible with IE.--

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot ( talk) 18:51, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. – Juliancolton | Talk 01:16, 28 April 2009 (UTC) Thank you!-- Skater ( talk) 02:24, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
I'm confused - how was my speedy tagging Jim tomas vandalism? Cheers, -- bonadea contributions talk 17:18, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Re: [ this edit]: Frustratingly enough, users are allowed to blank their own talk page--even including perfectly-good warnings--any time they want to do so. Removing warnings doesn't take them out of the history, and it DOES imply that the user has READ and UNDERSTOOD the warnings. Although I totally agree with you in spirit, as an admin, I've got to say: it's considered bad Wikimanners to revert user-page edits by the user whose page it is. Not a huge deal; just don't repeat it. Thanks!!! GJC 17:52, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
I apologize, I wasen't aware that you were allowed to blank the pages for that. -- Skater ( talk) 18:17, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks Tony.-- Skater ( talk) 13:15, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

There is much work to do, so please head over to the project page and help us enhance and increase the coverage of Xbox related articles on Wikipedia! |
-- Black Watch 21 23:53, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Sure, I've been looking to expand my edits anyway.-- Skater ( talk) 23:57, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Church. I have granted you NPWatcher per your request here. After looking over a few of your contributions, your talk page, and your block log, I feel you can be trusted with the tool. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a note on my talk page. – Juliancolton | Talk 01:32, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your appreciation... and I'm sure you will! Leave Sleaves 14:08, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
What was the deal with editing the Amanda Forman link back to the disambiguation page? I changed the link to save another click, as the other person with the same name has nothing to do with the topic. Apparently you just wanted to get your rather chavvy-looking tag onto my userpage? Think about what you're doing before removing edits that actually contribute to this site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Narfmaster ( talk • contribs) 17:46, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
I deleted your warning because I was stunned by the audacity shown by an apparently 15-year-old editor to not only warn me, but actually YELL at me to stop (along with an insult, luser), from a previous position of complete and utter non-involvement. I would understand if our arguement was on an article talkpage, but it's not. A warning does nothing to stop an argument if it is itself incendiary. Kingoomieiii ♣ Talk 16:00, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
I don't see how my edit was in anyway Incendiary and see you as the on the one that been flaming. I don't see why you are bringing my age into this. I in no way called you a "Luser", unless that is another violation of NPA which you seem to completely ignore.-- Skater ( talk) 16:05, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
And thank you, further New Message alerts will be unnecessary, as I'm now watching this page for changes (which sounds way creepier than it is).
I understand, might wanna bring that up on the 3RR notice board. I will mark the case as resolved but will keep a close eye on it.-- Skater ( talk) 16:58, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Let me help you out on that. Ready for a read?
67 is Spooky873. If you look through his contribs (and the contribs of his various now-banned sockpuppets), it paints a clear picture of a disruptive editor.
He refuses to allow edits to Foo Fighters-related articles that don't meet his standards (and sometimes not at all anyway; he subscribes to the absolutely misguided philosophy of "It if ain't broke, don't fix it"). There was a consensus vote on the foo fighters article itself, he recruited meatpuppets to try to swing the vote, and was discovered. A second vote (to determine if the genre Post-grunge should be added to other foo-fighters articles) was derailed by him claiming the first vote was rigged, and never concluded; I've attempted to get it started again, but apparently no one is watching the page. He's been watching Foo Fighters articles since then, reverting any edits that alter the list of genres (because Alt Rock "will suffice", despite being vague and uninformative at best.)
I'd also estimate about 90% of his talkpage posts are offensive. This little gem is a perfect example of everything I've said about his editing method. From The Colour and the Shape:
Unfortunately, these edits aren't recent, and these days, he only edits at all when it's to revert a change I've made (usually with an insulting edit summary, even on his edit responding to my "absurd claim" that edit summaries are for SUMMARIZING your EDIT (my moment of poor judgement aside, and for that I apologize). If anything, he's a good candidate for WP:OWN, WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT, and WP:NPA. Regrettably, as I was suckered into an edit war with him (he just HAD to play the "lolurgay" card), my credibility in bringing that last one forward is exactly zero.
Oh, also, good luck with your future bid for adminship. -- Kingoomieiii ♣ Talk 19:44, 15 May 2009 (UTC) I see, he has definitely violated a few rules and guidelines, I went through his edits and he also seems to be Wikistalking.If you want, I will report him too WP:ANI Since I appear to be a near neutral party.
Thanks, I decided I'm going to try to expand my edits a bit. I'm going to hit the 1000th milestone tonight and probably will wait for the editor review before I determine my next course of action. This is the first conflict I've had on Wikipedia and I'm taking it step by step and learning from it.-- SKATER Speak. 20:31, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Alright, yeah. He's now reverting my edits with no summary, and obviously has no intention of explaining and/or justifying (which I'm sure he thinks he's already done). -- Kingoomieiii ♣ Talk 02:39, 18 May 2009 (UTC) Creating WP:ANI case now, Could you please find me the the consensus he used meat puppets in? Thanks -- SKATER Speak. 02:51, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Alright, I'll create it tommorow I'd do it tonight but I gotta get some sleep, Big test tommorow..-- SKATER Speak. 03:56, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Are you still looking for a mentor?
(You can have more than one).
I've been an active Wikipedian since October 2005, and have accumulated over 60,000 edits.
If you are interested, drop me a note.

What tools do you use to edit Wikipedia?
T1/LAN
Windows XP on both
IE, and Firefox
None
All the scripts in User:Skaterthealmighty.js, specifically LUPIN'S.
If i'm on my desktop, Huggle. For example, I use:
I noticed some gaps in your contribs since you started. What other accounts have you used on Wikipedia?
For example, I've used over a dozen. My other accounts are listed at User talk:The Transhumanist/Archive menu.
My initial approach to learning Wikipedia was to develop its main directories so I could find what I was looking for. So I led the revamping of Help:Contents, built Wikipedia:Department directory, and resurrected WP:TOTD.
But I still only knew Wikipedia superficially and not in essence. So I started teaching others, which forced me to learn a whole lot faster. Though I wasn't an admin, I signed up as an admin coach.
Here are some other resources I've developed (or led the development of at some point) that you might find useful:
I'm currently heading up a team of advanced editors on improving Wikipedia access and coverage.
You are invited to join. (We'll get you up to speed pretty fast).
Just drop me a note and let me know, and I'll be happy to add you to the team's mailing list.
Then we can get started on your first assignment, and introduce you to the rest of the team. :)
The Transhumanist 19:19, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Cool.
First things first.
I need to know the answers to the questions I asked above, so I can assign tasks that fit your situation and skill set.
The Transhumanist 22:17, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
I'm gonna assume you have me watched by now, but I did answer your questions.-- SKATER Speak. 22:20, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
