The comments on User talk:SonicChao did come from 24.121.73.22, but now that you have an account, HyperSonicBoom it should be fine. --SonicChao talk 00:38, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
:)
You are probably being directed through a proxy server set up by your ISP. I know Wikipedia's software doesn't just make stuff up. --SonicChao talk 00:48, 23 December 2006 (UTC)Thanks for uploading Image:Aircana320.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 05:05, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Template:User Windows XP, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article is a repost of either already posted material, or of material that was previously deleted in a deletion debate, such as articles for deletion. If you can indicate how Template:User Windows XP is different from all other articles, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template ((hangon)), and also put a note on [[Talk:Template:User Windows XP]] saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we ask you to follow these instructions. -/- Warren 12:50, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Thank you!! Regarding the mess-up in the sandbox from Memphismom 02:04, January 14 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I've reverted your change. As I have explained on the talk page, the corporate name is Saab AB, where AB stands for Aktiebolag. You seem to be suggesting from your edit summary that I think the name is Saabab. Mark83 00:55, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Please read www.saabgroup.com/en/AboutSaab/TheSaabBrand/the_saab_brand.htm. I don't want or expect an apology for your error (we all make mistakes), but an apology for your intransigence and abrupt attitude would be most welcome. Many thanks Mark83 20:45, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
I have removed the fair use image you used in the userbox at User:HyperSonicBoom/Userboxes/Shop/WinVistaWant. Fair use images cannot be used outside article namespace, and using them in userboxes is especially wrong. Please read the fair use policy for restrictions on using fair use images on Wikipedia. Thank you. --MECU≈talk 19:39, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Please stop removing images from my userboxes. If you do, I consider it vandalism of others' user pages.
Do not reply here, as this is a notice. HyperSonicBoom 23:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
It appears you've gotten into some controversy over your userboxes. Please remember that since this is an encyclopedia, it's not worth getting into all that trouble over nothing. I see you've edited articles in the past; please continue improving articles! If you can demonstrate you're a responsible editor, people may be able to let go of your past and maybe you'll be able to become an administrator in the future. How about it? —Signed, your friendly neighborhood MessedRocker. 18:34, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Okay, look. The point is that, for legal reasons, certain images are not allowed to be used on userpages - only in articles. That means, not in userboxes either. It's a matter of covering our collective ass; nothing personal, we just can't risk getting in trouble for falsely labeling an image as free. Okay? DS 19:31, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Interesting concept! Incidentally, you might be interested in the Counter-Vandalism Unit which has similar goals. —Signed, your friendly neighborhood MessedRocker. 01:10, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed that you seem to be considering running for adminship. You have about 350 edits, about a third of which are to userspace. Most succesful admin candidates have at least 2000 edits or so to non-userspace areas. While it is conceivable that someone with 350 edits could become an admin, it is unlikely that you would be succesful at this time. JoshuaZ 01:43, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I am considering joining your "Wikipedia Army". However, I would like an answer to a question first.
In you RfA, you accused the people that voted against you (me included in them) of vandalism. How is this vandalism? I would like to have a satisfactory answer before I join a group that focuses on fighting vandalism. You may respond here or on my talk page.
I salute you!
Captain panda In vino veritas 04:29, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
I wasn't actually accusing you. I was accusing other Wikipedians. You may join. HyperSonicBoom 23:12, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Ok then. I will join.
I salute you.
Captain panda In vino veritas 03:21, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
I have joined the Wikipedia Army
Captain panda In vino veritas 03:30, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
You've been at WP for a few months, and I just wanted to say "welcome." I recently went through an RfA (which failed) and it can be disenheartening. But, keep up the good work, keep your nose clean, and try again in 9 months or so. Dont be too discouraged, those RfA's can be brutal! Good luck and if you need help or have questions, don't hesitate to ask! - grubber
Last time I'm going to say it...SAAB AB would mean "Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolag Aktiebolag. SAAB would mean Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolag.
You're a vandal. Although you you're an administrator, you don't act like it. You are supposed to "keep Wikipedia clean", not vandalize someone's user page when it belongs to them and not you and cause more trouble.
Since you are the first member, I am handing The Wikipedia Army down to you and you are free to move the page to your user page, edit the userboxes, or do whatever you want with it.
HyperSonicBoom (Will you sign my guestbook?) 00:53, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for this and I will take care of any necessary changes for it to be transfered. Captain panda 18:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
I just want to know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.13.196 (talk) 22:48, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Wizardman is the vandal, why can't you read? 24.121.73.22 09:20, 23 September 2007 (UTC) (HyperSonicBoom's IP)
Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. Yahel Guhan 04:18, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
I did, because I'm reverting vandalism, so please READ my edit summaries. HyperSonicBoom 04:20, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
im sorry I wont do it again, you got to admit it was pretty funny though--75.82.16.153 13:51, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
It's good that you won't, but no serious vandal-fighting Wikipedians assume vandalism as funny. HyperSonicBoom 23:40, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
aight I guess it wasnt that funny--75.82.16.153 05:19, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
oh come on it was too funny to not admit it wasnt--75.82.16.153 04:56, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Welcome back to Wikipedia! I am glad that you decided to return! I also think that I should inform you that the Wikipedia Army has been deleted (see here for reference.) Captain panda 00:13, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I am afraid that there is no possibility of your RfA succeeding. I suggest that you withdraw it before my suggestion of WP:SNOW is taken up, and perhaps find someone who is willing to mentor you before your next application. Also, please remember that all who are opposing you now are doing so with your interests as well as Wikipedia's at heart. Thanks. LessHeard vanU 20:28, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
[2] Please stop the personal attacks and incivility, or you may get blocked again. Calm down and try to engage in a polite conversation. Personal attacks create a hostile environment on the wiki and interfere with the way things work here. Melsaran (talk) 20:52, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Why did you close my RFA? I didn't violate WP:SNOW as in your edit summary and I'm really starting to get mad at you plus everyone in my RFA. HyperSonicBoom 20:56, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
No one kicked you out of the RFA. It was shut down because it had absolutely no chance of succeeding. You were also insulting other editors and were not assuming good faith. If you want to leave then that's your option, however I'm simply saying that you should give it some time to think about it and then perhaps read up on wikipedia policies and procedures. Perhaps in a few months, after you have apologized to all of the editors you have insulted at the RFA, after you have a few dozen reports to AIV, after you have a few thousand edits, after you've helped bring a few articles up to at least GA status, then perhaps you should run for RFA again. Here are my suggestions for you: Read the following (bold is most important):
Install the following:
It will drastically improve your ability to fight vandals.
Post any questions that you might have on my talk page. Wikidudeman (talk) 02:26, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Look kid, I noticed you predicament here, and I'm going to take some time out of my day to try and help you. You didn't make it in your RFA because you haven't read enough. If you really want to get into Wikipedia, you need to read. A lot. Let me give you a list to get you started.
If you want to be here, you have to teach yourself the way things work. Nobody's going to teach you: it's an all-volunteer project. You need to read policy pages yourself, and understand them. If you want to be an admin, you have to read about what people expect from you. It's that simple. If you don't feel like reading, go do something else; Wikipedia's not for you.
You're a young kid, so take this to heart: if you drop everything and walk away every time things don't go the way you want them to, you're never going to get anywhere. 68.174.64.167 03:32, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
