NOTE: Unless your message strictly pertains to RationalWiki, please go to my page at http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/User:Javascap, I generally spend more time on that website than this one, and hence, will get the message more rapidly.

Yes, welcome, Javascap. I must have missed you when you first arrived here.

While I myself am an atheist, I have great respect for those who choose to reconcile religion with science. Though you might want to watch out for the less tolerant atheists here. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy being here! -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 18:04, 9 March 2008 (EDT)

Remove that template once more & you'll get a block. It's not about composition - it's about CONTENT!   ^Contribs_Talk 16:58, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

Than tell me, please, WHAT content are you looking for? WHAT does this essay need to be touched up and bought to the standards this Wiki hosts? If you will spell out, in black and white, what I need to do, than I will do it. Javascap 17:00, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

Question

As you stressed on the message you left me, the template is about content. I am asking you to define what content that template refers to, so I can fix whatever problems are associated with is (without, obviously, deleting it.) Please answer in a clear, concise format so I can fix whatever problems are in my essay. Javascap 17:05, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

(More de-polluting)

Start with "Before I even say another word.... " and go on to: "receiving money from the government." : Just change everything in between.   ^Contribs_Talk 17:12, 7 June 2008 (EDT) SusanG out.   ^Contribs_Talk 17:12, 7 June 2008 (EDT) (AND KEEP OFF MY TALK PAGE.)

Susan, it's an essay - Javascap's personal thoughts. He may be totally wrong, in some people's opinions, but we invite people to do this on our main page! Can you try to just make good counter-arguments on the talk page and keep the tone neutral if you can't manage friendly? After all, you never know, we might succeed in convincing M. Javascap to alter his/her opinion - but only if we engage him. If we/you are so freaking right on this it ought to be easy to gently share why. ħuman 17:26, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

Susan, it seems to me that the template you added in is just a matter of you saying "I don't like this, so let's delete it!". Isn't that what is done at Conservapedia, censoring the beliefs of the other person? Looking at every other essay only mine, and the essay on how Athiest can't accept the True God are tagged with that template. Looking at the True God one, the writing style is below the one I used, with short, cut off sentances, unsubstantiated ideas, and poor writing. As per Human, RationalWiki is a palce to share ideas, in this case, my own ideas on Illegal Immigration. If you don't agree, it's completly fine and dandy to do so, but just because you don't like it doesn't mean I spent a few minutes throwing random words together, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it should be deleted. Think about that for a bit (and please, calm down) Javascap 17:46, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

By the way, 'scap, it would vastly improov your essay if you copied it into a spellchecked word processor, if you can't correct the spelling yourself. The endless spelling errors work against any case you might be trying to make. Oh, and a few references for some of your claims couldn't hurt, either. ħuman 18:39, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

Ah yes, speel chaking (I did a brief touch on your comment, if you don't mind) is a bit of a problem for my word processer... because the only one I have any access to is that of Notepad, which is, as you probabally know, crap. Javascap 19:59, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

Try OpenOffice.org. Blessed be, my son. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!^{Let's go down the waterfall} 20:00, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

Actually the mispelling I made was an intentional dumb in-joke here on RW. You could also use the firefox browser. It is very good, free, and comes with a spell checker that functions while you are editing wiki pages. ħuman 21:24, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

Though, teh red panda does use Murcan spelling... Wazza (Not Wazzock, Wazza)^{Approach the Presence} 12:53, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

As I recall, ff let me choose which version of English I wished to be nagged into spelling correctly. ħuman 15:13, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Your essay talk

There are a lot of comments on the essay talk page you wrote that have not been answered by you, just to let you know. Lyra § talk 22:22, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

Userbox

I sorted your userbox out -- it's at Template:user false saint, and it should work now if you want to add it back to that page. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!^{Let's go down the waterfall} 12:40, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Hey, thank you. I will see if the user box works. I am thinking of adding another one with this statement... "If the Lord is your shepherd, then I am a wolf." Reckon you could help me with that one? Javascap 13:00, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Just spell shepherd correctly, ok? ħuman 15:12, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

If you please...

I humbly request that you block Fr. It vandalises about once a day, so I think we'll need a week-long block to get the message across. Godspeed, Spiderman! _{↳ ↑ ⇨ ↕ ▽ ←} 08:37, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

Thank you for alerting me to the said antics of FR. I agree with you, and I will hit with a week long ban. Normally, I would have banned him for a day, given the light actions, but he vandalises every day so... a one day block would do nothing. Javascap 08:40, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

Tanks! _{↳ ↑ ⇨ ↕ ▽ ←} 08:47, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

I was toying with the idea of a 2-day block, as anything longer would more likely encourage him/her to create a sock and carry on wandalising. We shall see... Bondurant 08:54, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

Why not just revert the wandalism and put the user in the "vandal" group to make sure they can't do much? ħuman 20:13, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

Fr

Did you happen to block his IP and stop account creation? --*Gen. S.T. Shrink* ^{Get to the bunker} 20:09, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

That I did, I hit block IP and no account creation. It's entirely possible he is using AOL or a Proxy. Whatever it is, I have a feeling he is digging in for a bit of a fight.. I hope I don't have to lock the page, that would be too CP like... Javascap 20:12, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

Well hell, you don't have to do that. Just revert it. Come up with something clever. I RickRolld him myself. --*Gen. S.T. Shrink* ^{Get to the bunker} 20:14, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

This is someone who makes one easily revertable edit each day and we're actually wasting time blocking them? ħuman 20:15, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

EDIT CONFLICT:I am honestly thinking that maybe there is no point in blocking him. True, it is a bit annoying when he adds in a pointless, annoying edit, but how long does it take to fix? (Human hit the nail quite well) With regards to that fact, I think vandal group is good enough, let him edit, and let us revert. Javascap 20:18, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

He's such an idealogical vandal it is doubtful he will go onto anything else. I'm just wondering if he's actually associated with the Fred Phelps. But somehow I doubt Fred Phelps or any of his family could figure out these newfangled computing devices. --*Gen. S.T. Shrink* ^{Get to the bunker} 20:21, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

Article Creation?

Hey, I signed up mainly to create an article on "Schlafly Scrutiny" (a term used in the CP talk pages during the Lenski Affair to criticize Andy), which is demanding that a researcher turn over ridiculous amounts of data to anyone who asks, rather than providing enough information to replicate his experiment, and accusing those who refuse of fraud.

Problem is, I can't figure out how to create an article.^{— Unsigned, by: Mustex / talk / contribs}

Search for the term "Schlafly Scrutiny" on the search box, when you fail to find it, click at one of the links at the top saying "Create this page" or something. Or just click this instead. NightFlare^{Still doesn't have a (nonstub) RWW article.} 22:37, 19 July 2008 (EDT)

look through the help files. There's one on article creation (I think). (Sign using 4 tildes [~~~~] please.)   ^Contribs_Talk 22:41, 19 July 2008 (EDT)

I see you've found out how on your own. Great work! Have a goat. NightFlare^{Still doesn't have a (nonstub) RWW article.} 22:43, 19 July 2008 (EDT)

I moved it to the CP namespace... think I should zap the redirect? ħuman 23:00, 19 July 2008 (EDT)

So: you want your talk page to be illegible?   ^Contribs_Talk 23:44, 24 July 2008 (EDT)

Looking at it critically it is a bit... small. Hm, be right back... ĵ₳¥ášÇ♠ʘ I know Anonymous user adheres throughout mandates.

I will freely admit that I am a tad good at reading small font, but I did not think that other people may not enjoy said small font. ĵ₳¥ášÇ♠ʘ I know Anonymous user adheres throughout mandates.

UGH!   ^Contribs_Talk 23:52, 24 July 2008 (EDT)

I know, sigs look pretty bad JAVASCAP Talk to ME BAN SOMEONE! 23:55, 24 July 2008 (EDT)

Wow, I can read this page without my glasses.... if I back off about three feet... ħuman 00:16, 25 July 2008 (EDT)

Only three feet? I got the message from... three feet 2 inches! ĵ₳¥ášÇ♠ʘ I know Anonymous user adheres throughout mandates.

Unhappily I can SEE it from any distance, but to read it I have to edit   ^Contribs_Talk 13:26, 25 July 2008 (EDT)

Sidebar

What were you trying to do? Kettle Kin (Version 2.0) 22:15, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

UMMM. Nothing. Er, it's a nice day, isn't it? Night, if you are where I am. Unless you are in Australia, in which case the sun is coming up. ĵ₳¥ášÇ♠ʘ I know Anonymous user adheres throughout mandates.

Fine, just deny your own lack of knowledge on MediaWiki. I know just as much as you do... you need the vertical bar | Kettle Kin (Version 2.0) 22:19, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

To be serious, I am implementing a peer review service as per Talk:Main page, and am starting to write up the rules. To make it easier to find, I am thinking of putting it on a sidebar. ĵ₳¥ášÇ♠ʘ I know Anonymous user adheres throughout mandates.

Peer_Review|Peer Review helps? Kettle Kin (Version 2.0) 22:23, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

This has not been discussed anywhere. Could you please start one on the sidebar talk page before making these changes. $\approx$$\pi$ 22:32, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

Sounds fair enough. =) ĵ₳¥ášÇ♠ʘ I know Anonymous user adheres throughout mandates.

That's good. I am not against the idea it is just we should discuss thing first and see what everyone has to say. $\approx$$\pi$ 22:37, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

At the very least, build it first, before linking every page on the site to it. And note, we already have several processes in place to sort of do what you envision. Keep the discussion at talk:main, I think. ħuman 23:47, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

What links here

When deleting redirects best to check what links here and change those links so we dont create red links. tmtoulouse ^oppress 23:49, 4 September 2008 (EDT)

Yah, homework.... wikis suck sometimes. ħuman 02:45, 5 September 2008 (EDT)
