Editing User talk:50.136.149.237

Please stop adding the Sailor Venus speculation to the [[Mira]] page - you and other users have a history of doing this. There is a clear consensus that there is no clear relation between Mira and Sailor Venus. If you re-add it again the semi-protection will return, possibly indefinitely. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing. {{User:Red Snapper/sig}} 06:15, December 19, 2014 (EST)
         


== Page Blanking ==

Blanking talk pages is not allowed. Please contribute constructively instead of messing with those. {{User:Red Snapper/sig}} 13:11, December 19, 2014 (EST)

Not especially, although [[Octavian]] in the {{SER}} is pretty cool. :) {{User:Red Snapper/sig}} 13:19, December 19, 2014 (EST)

u should put this on your talk page, not here.

== Talk Page Message Removal ==

Hey there, I reverted your last removal of Red's message. I'm afraid that removing messages from talk pages is against the wiki's [[Nookipedia:Policy|policy]] in most cases, including this one; in the last year especially, the policy has shifted more toward keeping all past talk page records. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.<br>
Incidentally, you could create an account on the wiki to use for editing, if you haven't already, which would allow you to leave this talk page behind, more or less. '''''[[User:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">-Sky</font>]] <small>[[User talk:Sky|<font color="#246092">(talk)</font>]]</small>''''' 01:23, December 20, 2014 (EST)

== Protection Notice ==

Because you keep blanking this talk page, it is now semi-protected for a week, so you'll need to reply on ''my'' or other staff member's talk page if you have any questions or whatnot. Thank you. {{User:Red Snapper/sig}} 06:50, December 20, 2014 (EST)

If IPs aren't supposed to have user pages, why is it possible for one(including me) to make one?
--[[Special:Contributions/50.136.149.237|50.136.149.237]] 20:50, December 30, 2014 (EST)
:Just because you can ''technically'' create it; IPs can create pages for some reason (but not talk pages, on many other wikis it's the other way around). But by no means does that mean it's allowed, we just have to trust users to not create such pages, and it's not like it's a big hassle to delete an IP userpage when one is created. This reminds me a bit of the message in the user talk archive template that states that only admins can edit this archive, but it's technically possible for anyone to edit it (the software can't recognize archives) so protection is often needed in these cases. {{User:Red Snapper/sig}} 11:42, December 31, 2014 (EST)

Why can't anonymous users create talk pages? Is there a way for administrators to change this kind of stuff in settings that can only be changed by admins? I'm not an admin so I don't know if there is....

Are you going to change the settings? It kinda bothers me how I can't create talk pages(I also can create a user page, but that doesn't bother me). I wish I could create talk pages of villagers(and stuff like that) that don't have a talk page created. I don't want to create an account because i want to be anonymous. You don't have to actually do it, I can live without and I'm just saying.
--[[Special:Contributions/50.136.149.237|50.136.149.237]] 16:41, January 4, 2015 (EST)
:I do support the idea of IP's being able to create talk pages, if that can be implemented. That being said, you can create an account while still remaining anonymous. There's no requirement for you to use a real name or disclose any personal information. If anything, an account can be more anonymous than editing via IP, as an IP address reveals your general location. <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 18:03, January 4, 2015 (EST)

What i meant by anonymous is not creating an account. I want to be an unregistered anon even if it can be shared by other users.
--[[Special:Contributions/50.136.149.237|50.136.149.237]] 16:28, January 6, 2015 (EST)

Since you want to create talk pages for certain subjects, what kinds of questions and comments do you have in mind pertaining to these articles? I guess asking people like me or other users now would be the best way to accomplish what you want to do if you insist on remaining anonymous. On another note, I'm not sure why I.P.s can even create pages in the first place since deleting pages require certain group rights in the first place. {{User:Mario/Sig}} 17:18, January 6, 2015 (EST)
:P.S. I'm a bit late, but "erection" has a completely nonsexual meaning; it means "mounting, to put up". You do this to flags, poles, towers, and anything.
:P.P.S. Considering your recent disruptive and untrustworthy behavior regarding spam and vandalism, my question is if giving I.P.s the right to create talk pages is even worth it. {{User:Mario/Sig}} 17:36, January 6, 2015 (EST)

What SuperHamster and I are trying to communicate is that you are actually more anonymous by creating an account. If you have an account, only high ranking staff members can view details such as your IP, City/State, and computer information. But if you do not create an account, your IP will remain public and anyone can view it or use it to trace your location. A quick Google search of your IP reveals several other wikis you are (or were) active on, each of which you appear to be known for making disruptive edits on. My point is, you aren't as anonymous as you think by remaining unregistered. We do not intend on changing our permissions to allow IPs to create talk pages any time soon because on average, and as demonstrated, registered users tend to hold themselves more accountable for their edits than IPs do. --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 22:13, January 6, 2015 (EST)

But if you search up "erection", you'll mostly find results about the sexual meaning of the word.

I'll let this go for now (between you and me, edit-warring with you about something as trivial as this would make my Administrator application look bad) but if you continue to revert admin edits, one of the higher-ups '''will''' block you again. {{User:Red Snapper/sig}} 13:47, January 9, 2015 (EST)
:Reverting admin's edits isn't ''bad'' per se, but continuously reverting our edits qualifies as edit warring, which isn't desirable behavior for either user. Red Snapper, however, has already established himself as a trustworthy user. We've said before, you have a bad record and you're not making much better improvements despite some good edits you've made. At this rate, you can face another block, even longer if this keeps up. {{User:Mario/Sig}} 18:29, January 11, 2015 (EST)

If I ever do create an account on Nookipedia, it will be called "Serena". If you see an account with that name, it's likely to be me unless it was created in 2015(the current year for now) or 2016 as I won't create any accounts in those years.

''Please'' be careful next time. If your sister vandalizes from your I.P. address, you will be held responsible and will get blocked regardless.

== Your new article ==

I don't think [[cupid bench]] qualifies for its own article because we feel it is more ideal if furniture are part of lists.

== Sockpuppets ==

Sysops in other wikis have a function called CheckUser that reveals the I.P. address (the location) for that user. I think it checks for any other user that shares the I.P. address. Since I do not have CheckUser (this is a admin privilege for bureaucrats here), I cannot confirm which user shares which I.P. address. If there is a recurring vandal, a range block will work. I think a range block is the most appropriate for this persistent buncho numbers vandal, but I can't do this. {{User:Mario/Sig}} 20:02, May 29, 2015 (EDT)
:A range block will ''not'' work, Mario. The first few digits of the IP address would need to be identical, and in this case they are all completely different. The only real solution is temporarily disabling IP editing like we did last September. I've started a topic on the staff forums about the issue, if you're interested.

:D'oh, so I was wrong about the range block. Yeah, he's right: the I.P. range needs to be the similar bunches of numbers. As for what Red Snapper brought up, the [http://bulletinboardforums.net/threads/ip-vandals.996/ forum topic] is an ''admin-only discussion'' so I think you need to be promoted within this wiki.

== Undergrowth vegetation ==

Considering your recent creation on undergrowth vegetation, previously, we have deleted in per this discussion in its respective talk page. The page and its talk page have been deleted a while ago, but here is the discussion:

</blockquote>

If you disagree, feel free to provide any input! {{User:Mario/Sig}} 21:15, May 30, 2015 (EDT)


This article should be kept because we can put a lot of info about it on this page(a category could say a little bit about it, but not as much a page)

--[[Special:Contributions/50.136.149.237|50.136.149.237]] 18:21, June 1, 2015 (EDT)
:I'm willing to add content, but if we simply just list it or add information already covered in the other pages, I see little reason to list this as a separate page rather than a category. For starters, what kind of content do you think should be added to undergrowth vegetation? Keep note that if undergrowth vegetation qualifies as a page, you must provide enough content to keep it as a page. If you cannot keep the page at least a paragraph or so in length in content (the standards are not sharply defined, but take that as a general guideline), then we should leave the page as a red link until we create a page large enough to be a stub. Finally, consider the reasons undergrowth vegetation was deleted in the first place: it is a small page that serves mostly as a list, and its name is most likely given by fans rather than an official category for the flora. {{User:Mario/Sig}} 18:29, June 1, 2015 (EDT)

== Page deletion ==

There is usually no reason to semi-protect a page after it has been deleted. If it is vandalism though, I delete it once. In most cases, I have to delete it only once. Only if it's recreated multiple times is usually when I resort to semi-protecting. For the most part, vandals aren't very patient users. {{User:Mario/Sig}} 14:44, June 1, 2015 (EDT)

But if the title and/or content is just gibberish such as "rgkpogkeopgkowphkopkhpeokgop", then I think it should be protected because another person might re-create it. It doesn't have to be semi protected(if a registered user creates it again).

--[[Special:Contributions/50.136.149.237|50.136.149.237]] 15:04, June 1, 2015 (EDT)

:Maybe, but if a vandal was really committed, they could simply create a nonsense page with a slightly different title, like "rgkgovxlasmdmsafksfm". We could be creation protecting pages all day if we had that attitude! [[User:Red Snapper|<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:darkred">Red</span>]] [[User talk:Red Snapper|<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:red">(talk)</span>]] [[File:Red snapper (Wild World).gif|20px]] 15:12, June 1, 2015 (EDT)
::Exactly. There are a vast number of combinations of letters you can do. "rgkpogkeopgkowphkopkhpeokgop" has 28 letters. There are 26 letters in the alphabet. Using mathematics, the amount of letter combinations possible would be 26<sup>28</sup>, or 4.16 x 10<sup>39</sup>! That would be 416 with more than 30 zeros following it! The vandal can use ANY one of the 416 with 30+ zeroes nonsense words, and "rgkgovxlasmdmsafksf" would be a different page from "rgkgovxlasmdmsafksfm", so there's no stopping a vandal from creating nonsense pages if the vandal REALLY wants to. And that's from just the 26 letters of the alphabet. I didn't even factor in digits and special characters such as ä,Ę,ℳ,♠. You're right that stuff like "rgkpogkeopgkowphkopkhpeokgop" will never qualify for a page, but we shouldn't devote our energy to protecting these from being created. {{User:Mario/Sig}} 18:39, June 1, 2015 (EDT)
