Willy on Wheels

In order to properly block this troll (when he's not using a user name, he's recognizable by his IP number: his always begins "65.167.69") you have to block the whole range; he's been known to switch IP addresses on a whim should one get blocked. In order to do this, block the range as "65.167.69.0/24". Of course, I'm || this close to putting a permanent ban on the range, but I fear that such an action would block many totally legit users. --Jay (Talk) 16:39, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I had no idea that that was Willy on Wheels. Doesn't he usually move pages rather than creating crap pages? Thanks for the notice though. Homestar Coder 16:46, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

It could be a coincidence, and some other troll just happened to stumble into the range. But the IP address matched. --Jay (Talk) 16:49, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

TGS Template

Nice work with the Stinkoman 20X6 Template (a good idea that someone should have come up with a long time ago) but we already have a Teen Girl Squad template. --Jay (Talk) 19:08, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I just saw that. Oops. I don't know how I could've missed that when I checked TGS #1. Homestar Coder 19:09, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Picture orginazing

Nice work on all those pictures when I'm away! You're much faster than me. Anyway, It's Dot Com asked us to patrol our edits. I'm going to do the most recent now, but after that could you continue the patroling? — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 19:20, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I don't patrol edits (in the sense of marking the stupid checkbox). I happen to think that the patrol box is a really bad idea. Sorry I can't help you out. Homestar Coder 19:22, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)

As you wish. I'll do it. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 19:23, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I continue to question the utility of that, but whatever floats your boat. (By the way, great jorb on the picture captioning, and great idea for a new project!) Homestar Coder 19:25, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 19:30, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I thought I'd be cool and try and patrol them all, but there's just to many of them. w00t, Homestar Coder.

Joe tought me this trick when patrolling edits: it's better to open a whole bunch with tabs in Firefox (or any other tabbed browser), and patrol from there. I can get through a good 30 in three or four minutes. I suggest patrolling your edits, as it makes Recent Changes easier on the eyes for all of us. :) —FireBird|Talk 23:31, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Just for fun, I timed myself. I patrolled 30 edits in 1:33:60. Those numbers were way off. :) —FireBird|Talk 23:36, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

An Answer

You just asked where that 'Powered By The Cheat' screenshot is from. I think it's from crazy cartoon. Behold my skills to gather data quickly. I didn't know how to change it myself, so I dropped you a line. --DorianGray

I think you're right. And changing image information is quite easy: just click on the image and then on the edit tab. Homestar Coder 22:01, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Well, I figured you could do it quicker and make it look all uniform with all the other ones you've been doing faster than I could. (Of course, you'd be hard-pressed to do anything fast if I keep sending you comments...) Anyways, good luck. And if you need more image sources found in a hurry, keep me in mind. --DorianGray

Thank you for your help! And my captions aren't all that uniform. I'm just trying to put a good description with links on each image. Homestar Coder 22:07, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)
