Standing stone and Menhir

Sorry about this. I dopily put up Menhir yesterday, forgetting we already had Standing stone [=synonym]. So I've shifted the Menhir content to Standing stone, and substituted a redirect (which should have been there in the first place). Macdonald-ross (talk) 11:38, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request for template import

Could someone import the template en:Template:Star Fox series here? I've been creating articles on Star Fox games lately, so I think it'll be useful for those articles. Thank you. Lugia2453 (talk) 01:14, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Osiris (talk) 01:29, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Flood flag?

I'm going to work on fixing links to dab pages for a while. If an admin would like me to use the flood flag for that, you can give it to me and I'll re-log on. If not, that's fine, too. :) --Auntof6 (talk) 22:01, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I guess nobody was around. Do you still want it? Osiris (talk) 05:47, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not now, thanks. I just kept working anyway. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:57, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Minecraft article

The article on the game Minecraft has some "troll" comments. The ones I've noticed so far were in the History branch (wrong date, disinformation, foul langage (quoting: "shitty graphics")), a "your mum" joke in the NPC branch and the "Adventurer" game mode. Please look into this. I'm a person who can take a joke, but since simple wikipedia is made partially for children, such comments do NOT belong here — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.75.56.191 (talk • contribs)

Thank you for letting us know. I've reverted the vandalism and should be clear now. Regards, Kennedy (talk) 22:04, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

please userfy inappropriately-placed sandbox

Please userfy Talk:Heisenberg's uncertainty principle/Uncertainty sandbox to the userspace of the user who has been working on it. That is not the right place for working on an article. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:53, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am seeing what looks like sly link addition in the edits of ExtraBart. Especially in the new articles there is always a spam link. I fixed one article, but after seeing others like that it seems that someone needs to shake a bigger stick. Billinghurst (talk) 02:26, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is it always the same link that is added? - I looked at two or three edits of the user, and they look ok to me...?--Eptalon (talk) 07:27, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like they are using commercial and marketing websites as references. Often home pages. Needs closer inspection. Osiris (talk) 23:57, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

RevDel?

Some admin might want to RevDel this perhaps? --Snow Blizzard 15:30, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If something should be RevDel'd don't post a link to it on a noticeboard or simple talk etc. Email the admins or an oversighter so you don't publicise it. :) -DJSasso (talk) 15:43, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Fine, I'll do as you say next time though I think this gets a more immediate response (and since the content will be RevDeleted anyway, nobody will be able to see it anyway). --Snow Blizzard 15:49, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I saw it only because you pointed it out here. Anyone with this page watched got it pointed out in big bold letters at the same time any admin would have been alerted to the problem. --Creol(talk) 16:17, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit → change

Hello, could an administrator please change MediaWiki:Wikibase-editlinks per the headline? Thanks.  Hazard-SJ  ✈  02:09, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Osiris (talk) 02:34, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hide change

Hello. Can an administrator please suppress 15:36, 4 May 2013‎ and my edit(s) on User talk:7mike5000 please? Because there has been profanic terrible vandalism, so this should be suppressed. Thanks. (But please do not remove my comment.) curtaintoad | chat me! 09:07, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing there that needs to be suppressed or even deleted. Wikipedia is not censored, and profanity is not something that warrants deletion. Please read WP:RD. Osiris (talk) 09:18, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
CT, I reverted your removal of those comments. They didn't fit the definition of a personal attack, plus we shouldn't be removing a user's comments from his own talk page. --Auntof6 (talk) 09:36, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mythdon

Hey folks,

As you may have noticed, Mythdon has requested an unblock. He is blocked, and as far as I can tell, was never officially banned. However, with the block taking place so far in the past, I'm looking for opinions. Reading the statement provided, I am willing to lift the block. Thoughts? --Gordonrox24 | Talk 05:20, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't going to comment, since I'm not familiar with the user's history -- but since nobody else has done so, I'd say you should go ahead with unblocking. The appeal is well-formed, there is no evidence of any other disruption and the user has certainly done their time. Osiris (talk) 13:51, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Osiris pretty much sums up what I wish to say. It should be alright. Chenzw  Talk  14:04, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved. By Eptalon. Chenzw  Talk  14:06, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violation here, taken from here. Thanks, --Snow Blizzard 17:27, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Import request

Would an admin please import en:Template:Ancient Egyptian religion footer? Thank you. --Auntof6 (talk) 02:11, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weth

 Done for 2 weeks. Chenzw  Talk  08:52, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
