To record a diff, find the edit in the edit history and copy the URL at the top of the page. Then put a square bracket either end, as in this example:

lol, he's back at it. how so? I thought he retired and shit. What all is going on. Right now, I am dealing with another asshole named Charlesknight and admins are not helping with anything. In fact, my supposed friend administrator sided against me which is crap. You can only count on yourself around here. Charlesknight is such a dick. Anyway, clue me in on everything that is going on. lol, I thought he was gone and never to return by the way he was acting. Tonetare 02:53, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh great, the dickwod, I am having a problem with is armed with vandalproof. No wonder the admin sided against me. I can't stand wikipedia because of the losers that cause trouble and get there way like Mikedk9109 and Charlesknight. What's worse is he has a vandal proof. Maybe I need to retire from wikipedia as long as this moron Mike is gonna keep coming back and starting up shit along with this charlesknight character Tonetare 02:59, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Come back in one hour so we can take care of this problem, by that I am referring to Mike. My dad has to use the comp. Be back here. :) Tonetare 03:00, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh lmao, HA HA for him. all right. I wish you were staying to take care of other people :( BUT YAY, Mike's gone. sweet. Enjoy your trip Tonetare 03:01, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Yea, I am only 19 on summer break so I will be home all day tomorrow. I will get on in the middle of the day and probably off and on all day long. bye :) Tonetare 03:02, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Once again, HAHA @ him getting himself blocked. Tonetare 03:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

lol, gotcha. ok, I may be on later tonight or tomorrow. My dad wants to use the comp for now. LoL, I am going to go through the history real quick to see exactly how he got blocked Tonetare 03:06, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

sweet. I got your back to. tell me if anyone is bugging you! One down! lol! bye for now :) Tonetare 03:08, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I would suggest that you refrain from conversation that involves insulting other editors. Such behaviour leads to blocks. I will let the matter slide this time but will not do so in future. --Charlesknight 08:35, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I meant to make it clear that my comments were directed towards Tonetare and the insulting comments about me he had left on your page - such comments as I am dealing with another asshole named Charlesknight, Charlesknight is such a dick. and so on...

Re: N&N

I'm quite tired right now, so I'll take a look at it later. However, I think that hte article could be expanded; you might ask Ral to do so. I'll look at this issue again tomorrow. THanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 03:24, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

No, not at all. Would you mind doing N/N, btw? I'm just too tired to do it well right now, and I won't get a chance until later tomorrow. I'll add anything else to it tomorrow if it's not published yet. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 03:29, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. Probably a few hours before 24:00, not sure yet, but probably before publication. Flcelloguy (A note?) 03:32, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

OK, thanks again. You're probably be on before me, but I'll finish whatever needs to be finished when I come back on. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 03:35, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks again. I'm not quite sure what you mean by getting rid of the language bar, though. Flcelloguy (A note?) 20:52, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Speedy delete tag

Hi Forest,

Can you explain what this edit is about? It appears you blanked an article and at the same time placed a speedy delete tag on it, using {{db-empty}}. Of course, placing a speedy delete tag on an article because it's empty, when you blanked it, is abuse of this tag. Was there a reason for your blanking? Is it a hoax? If so, you need to use the proper tags. If not, and it is only your personal preference that such articles be deleted, I would ask you to not place speedy tags on articles you just don't care for (your edit summary reads "no reason for this".--Firsfron of Ronchester 14:17, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

So it is a hoax? Nothing in your edit summary, or the tag indicated so. I'll happily delete it if it's a hoax (I don't know who Nick is).--Firsfron of Ronchester 14:30, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

"To Be Deleted" is not a SpongeBob SquarePants episode; it was a mistake by the creator of the article. (The episode was a misunderstanding...people at TV.com were deleting an episode that was mistaken (Obsession) so someone who was able to delete it, would delete it. -AMK152 01:58, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Outage

On the outage article- if you're going to write an article, please don't just rewrite Brion's e-mails. There must be a better way to handle it than paraphrasing his words. I'll clean it up later. Ral315 (talk) 17:09, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm talking about Brion Vibber, the developer whose e-mail you linked to in your article. Ral315 (talk) 17:16, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I saw that you had it for next week, but since the info's current, we might as well use it this week. Ral315 (talk) 01:38, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Please don't edit any Signpost articles right now; I'm trying to finish it up and it's annoying to get edit-conflicted :) Ral315 (talk) 03:05, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

1000 edits in a week?

How the heck do you make 1000 edits in a week?!! I've been on Wikipedia for two months and I hardly have 750! -- TheGreatLlama ^{(speak to the Llama!)} 01:12, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Template

We have to expand - Template:Wikiproject SpongeBob SquarePants - in order for people to get involved with it. I suggest (since the newsletter will be in {{this form}}, then it can be added to the template? Also, we can do other things so that people will be interested in contributing to the project. -AMK152 02:20, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

This would also be great to get people to runs for the board; and those to vote. -AMK152 02:36, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Hint

When fixing the indents in the numbered list as you just did in an RfA you have to put everything after the hash sign - if the vote has been struck out put the indent after that too, but the has sign must be kept in place or the count will be restarted at 1 for the next propper vote. If that doesnt make sense - go and have a lok at the changes I just made: diff. Viridae^Talk 13:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

No problems. It took me ages to work out how to fix numbered lists like that. Viridae^Talk 13:26, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I'm sorry, but I am not able to do a report about Portuguese Wikipedia for WP:SIGN, because my English is not too good :(. Thanks very much. --Dpc01 14:20, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure? Kpjas told me here to send him something before Sept 3.rd... --Gia.cossa 14:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Good! Anyway I'm going on holiday from next Sunday, so you'll have the report ready for that date... If there are any questions, please tell me on my it.WP talk page... Bye! --Gia.cossa 14:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

French Wikipedia report

Hi Pyb. Well, I'm starting to plan again, and you requested to write the French Wikipedia report again. Well, as of now, the report needs to be ready by November 5th for the November 6th issue but you have lots of time to opt out. Just letting you know. ForestH2 t/c 13:53, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

ok, no problem. pyb.wikipedia@gmail.com 15:19, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Did some work

I did some work to improve the Board here: Wikipedia:Wikiproject SpongeBob SquarePants/Board Check it out. We can put this in the September Newsletter as well. -AMK152 17:21, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome Back

Welcome back man, I missed you. How is everything going? How was your break and stuff. Ohh, Forest I am at my wit's end. I am going crazy here with this user. He is totally disrespectful and has no logic behind anything he did on the Coral Smith page and the admin can't see that. I am just about to scream. It is completely infuriating. Miked9109 is nothing compared to this. lol Tonetare 00:35, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, thank god there is something I can do about this troublesome Charlesknight. So I go to that page and WP:RFAR and just discuss the problem I am having or what exactly. Thanx by the way. Tonetare 00:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Board

Do you think the board pages are ready to be linked from the WikiProject main page so that the nominations can begin? or is there more work to do? -AMK152 01:51, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Tonetare

Thanx a lot Forest. I will do exactly what you've said. P.S. I just read your user page. I found it very unique. I need to make my self something like that. I learned tons about you from it. I rather like the listing of everything you liked and all your interests. :) Talk to you when you get back! Tonetare 05:36, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Forest, people are seeing that he has no logic on the page and he is kind of skirting the issue. Carlton noticed this. It's all good. Thanx for the help. If things get so far to the point where no one can see why he is utterly rude, wrong, and unwilling to discuss things, I am going to go through with what you said. Tonetare 12:55, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, it could. Yea, well all really need to know is about the arbitration page. I naturally can't put that whole discussion their. I just want to put the examples of where charlesknight makes bad editing decisions, rude comments, and edit summaries that contain no logic. I am just wondering like, how much do you think is appropriate to put down? do you think that whole discussion should go on arbitration because anyone could see where I am coming from with him if they saw that whole discussion Tonetare 13:04, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanx Forest. I am going to copy and paste the discussion to that page then. The only people agreeing with Charlesknight are cronies of his anyway so anyway it's all good. Thus far the only 2 outsiders have agreed with me. Anyway if it ends up in a block permanantly for me, I won't understand why. This user is just so difficult and wrong. lol Tonetare 13:11, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, you said mediation is better so maybe I should go through with that instead or whatever you recommend. Tonetare 13:14, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm going with arbitration then. I just copy and pasted the discussion while I was waiting for your response. Now I just click on that link above and paste it to the bottom of the screen on that first page and it's done? Tonetare 13:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I am getting started right now. This arrogant user who thinks he is beyond corrections and beyond explaining himself needs a good talking to and indefinite blocking. He goes into your history changes what you do when he doesn't like something that happened with you, and uses everything in the book except talking about the matter to argue with me about. Sorry for getting you involved. If there's anyway I can help you in return or you would just like to talk, pop me a message. This is what can happen when there's a user who behaves this way. Thanx again Tonetare 13:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm reading over the directions now. I hope it doesn't require me to write another whole big thing or anything as I neatly laid out why this Charlesknight character is completely inaccurate and got the better of him in that long drawn argument because he doesn't have much logic to go on. So basically that argument says it all. But according to this directions, I think I have to make like a little brief proposal. Gee whiz, there is no way I could make this brief. LOL! There are a million and ten reasons why this user does not belong on wikipedia. It's like geeze. How can I make this brief into a couple sentence. What do I say? YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKES!!! lol Tonetare 13:35, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Aw, very detailed. I don't have the energy. I wish I could just copy and paste it to that page. I don't even have the energy to stay on this computer much longer as I have been doing different things on it all night with regards to getting ready for college and expose the follies of this user. It's like where can you go for someone just to tell this man or whatever he is, don't make so many edits and criticisms on something you don't know a thing about. Wow! Hopefully, Charlesknight is only still arguing so that he saves face and not because he really feels like he's right or else I'm concerned about him. For now, I'll see what happens there and go on making edits. If this happens again, I will go through with arbitration. As for now, I am very tired. Now I will know exactly where to go for arbitration though. Thanx for all your help though. Do you need anything from me? Tonetare 13:45, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

So are you back from your wikibreak or is this just a temporary great visit? lol Tonetare

lol, excuse me! I never know what the date is. Ever! But anyway, shoot, what am I gonna do without you. I bet the moment you leave Charlesknight is going to recruit and I will end up spending my computer time reading articles rather than writing them. lol Tonetare 13:51, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Yea, if you don't help me out, know that I am dead meat. lol! I'll see how things go down while you're gone and decide when you get back. Charles has away of surprising me. I am ready to say something nice or do something nice to him, and then I see he's done or said something totally outrageous or offensive. So I am not going to say I just want to drop the whole thing because this is not a friendly user. So I will have to see what happens while you're gone. Thanx a lot. Am I stressing you out about this? lol! You go deal with him and see what I mean. lol Tonetare 14:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

LOL! You know better than to read all that mess we wrote! LoL! I'd be your friend if you just told me 'thanx but I don't have the time read all that garbage!" lol, but that man ticks me off. While you have been frustrated, I have been fuming since last friday because he is so off base and has this little attitude. Tonetare 14:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Advice

I'm glad that you're giving Tonetare advice and support, but please familiarise yourself fully with the options. Have a good read of Wikipedia:Resolving disputes. Arbitration is a little bit down the line, and mediation is a necessary first step. Should it ever reach ArbCom, you might like to warn Tonetare that this can sometimes backfire badly, and the person who brought the case can end up in hot water, if ArbCom thinks they are also at fault. Tyrenius 14:45, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I've just read your last post on AN, and I think you might already know this. Tyrenius 14:48, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Uncle Sherm's Visit

I wasn't the one that created the article Uncle Sherm's Visit. There was a newcomer from Wikipedia that did all of the vandalism. He also created the article Uncle Sherm's Visit. The newcomer that did the vandalism was User:EtayR. iswatch19 16:59, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Italian Report for Wikipedia Signpost!

Hi! Italian Report for Wikipedia Signpost is ready! You can get it from here... I don't know if the correct contact-person is you or Kpjas, so I wrote to both! The article was written principally by Under and me, with various helps by the it.wiki community (especially the ones reported in history of the page + Piero Tasso and Hellisp)... Tomorrow I'll leave for a holiday-week: please ask the Italian Bar (or one of those people) if there are any troubles... --Gia.cossa 15:32, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments and Suggestions

Delivery Complete

I just finished completing the delivery of the Newsletter. I displayed the newsletter in template form, and added the date of deliver to is (09012006). This is so we dont end up putting the October Newsletter up, thereby (those who archive stuff on their talk page) dont get the same newsletter piled up. (Some people like to archive stuff as it is) -AMK152 13:19, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

On second thought, it would be much easier to post the entire thing. -AMK152 13:24, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay, fixed. -AMK152 13:34, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the rv

Thanks for reverting that crackjob on the board. Some people are a little... odd here. Julz

On a side note. I think it was too early for the board. Not enough candidates. At least I'm beating Hurricane. Julz 01:55, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

SpongeBob episodes list

Why did you revert my edit? I'm trying to make it easier to read and display. Especially the "2 dates thing" at the fourth season episodes. (Yes, it may look funny because i was only complete with the first season. And still working on it.) -AMK152 01:56, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
