I am sock puppet

I am sock puppet that vandalized jimbo wales user page. I might do it again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Do you like my socks (talk • contribs) 05:45, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Huh... this might change my opinion, although the {{humor}} tags are throwing me off... Dustin (talk) 05:53, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks very much...

...for supporting my RfA, and for your kind words of congratulations. Both are much appreciated, and I shall strive to be worthy of them. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:29, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

@Ser Amantio di Nicolao: You are very welcome, I believed you deserved the mop. I cannot believe how much you edit. 1 million plus edits, unbelievable. I only have 1700+ edits and normally have them done most of them on the weekends :). Feel free to have a chat with me via my talkpage or I am most happy for you to send me an email and chat from there --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:23, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

RfA

Hi. I noticed one of your earliest edits was to tell the world you want to be an administrator on Wikipedia. When you have made 30,000 edits let me know and I might nominate you (if I'm still alive). In the meantime here are three articles that will help you understand what adminship is all about:

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Happy editing! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:52, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Good on you. Thanks for your help --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 23:58, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Rover P4

May I respectfully suggest to you that the sign displayed above as I write (though not on your talk page I think) is a bad mistake. Anyway it makes me angry just to see it up there and I don't think that is your wish.

I have been watching your battle to have your photo of a cleanish old farm hayshed containing a shiny old car kept at the top of the P4 page. While your defence of its use is rational and within your rights by the appropriate rules which you always quote it is, after all, just another photo of an old Rover and there are a lot of them on that page already as I'm sure you will agree.

Don't you think that in view of that a much more glamorous view than your own should be presented? I look forward to your response. Cheers, Eddaido (talk) 01:13, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your message, I inserted my image of the Rover P4 photographed in the museum in Zeehan Tasmania because the image was taken and it shows the sides of the car. The one earlier to mine only showed the front and when I read WP:CARPIX I analysed the photo correctly and found the image did not comply. Therefore I uploaded my image and inserted it into the top infobox. It does not honestly matter but my image complies to the rules set out and I decided to insert it. Kind Regards --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 02:03, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Have you noticed this car in your picture has very small tyres so it looks all out of balance? So it is not representative of the Rover P4 90. Eddaido (talk) 05:55, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, but it is showing the sides of the car so it does not honestly matter. For further details see WP:CARPIX --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 05:58, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

@Eddaido: Could we continue the conversation by email if possible. Hopefully you have email set up. --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 02:30, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes it does matter. The left front wheel and tyre assembly is slightly below dead centre and important in the shot. One of the characteristics of the 90 was the much bigger section tyres it wore on its feet. Like a lion cub if you know what I mean. What you have would I think look too small on a Rover 60.

Disambiguation link notification for July 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mr. Popper's Penguins (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New York Zoo. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Trouted

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: Offering below satisfactory introduction to me through a form of greeting known as a handshake, which I found no eye contact and no grip.

This is not relevant!

Aston Martin Vantage GT12

Hi, you must have been mistaken that the Vantage GT12 doesn't exist. The Vantage GT3 has been renamed to Vantage GT12 as Porsche has trademarked "GT3" for its Road models. Pigzombo (talk) 08:05, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Fair enough, I did not know that. Sorry for reverting your edit. --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 08:06, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

I've always wondered how people seemed to have access to automated functions. Thanks for telling me about Twinkle. Now wish me luck in not using it wrongly! CtrlXctrlV (talk) 10:50, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, technology these days. Next year in Year 11, I will be doing Computer Science and I will be practicing how to use scripts via Python. Feel free to ask any questions regarding twinkle. --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 11:04, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Fiat 500 image

Please don't make reverts. Try to get Feautered nominee or similar, I don't see that photo with bad colors can represent Fiat 500 in Infobox. Show factor is low, and as I read quarter is not obligation. --PetarM (talk) 10:27, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

P.S. Feautered photo with Quality barnstar simply has some more value. --PetarM (talk) 10:28, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Car added picture

Hello, can you help me to replace new pictures for Proton Preve, Proton Suprima S, add new picture for Proton Exora MC2, Bufori Geneva and new Perodua Myvi 2nd generation picture? Thank you for your helping and please teach me how to save a new picture in Wikipedia. Syafiqproton (talk) 08:30, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Syafiqproton I am mainly focused on cars in Australia. I cannot help you. Do you have a commons account, and if you do take a picture of it. I would like you to read WP:CARS and WP:CARPIX. I will do my best to help, --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 08:58, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

RfA

If the best thing you can do is copy and paste someone else's vote, I think the best thing you ought to do is not participate at RfA at all until you can demonstrate a reasonable level of maturity. Or get reprimanded for disruptive editing. Up to you. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:28, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, thanks for the advice, I promise not to do it again --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 00:59, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Ford Transit

Hi EurovisionNim, I've changed the image 3 or 4 times and I'm still not convinced its good, To be fair none of the images for that model look great so do you think the current image fine or should I change it again ?, Cheers, –Davey2010^Talk 04:34, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Davey2010, I think the current image is fine. I will change it if it is necessary --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 04:36, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Cars

Hi EurovisionNim, I don't mean to be all Anti-Australian but I've noticed there's beginning to be a trend in Aussie car images appearing everywhere, Annoyingly it seems the Aussies are the only ones that can actually take okay images cars! , I just get a little bit of sick of seeing Aussie everywhere I mean after all there are other countries in the world , Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 03:46, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Yeah brother, I agree but please remember to always look for the best quality images. I use this as a guide. I will be going to Vietnam and Singapore so I will be hunting down cars for a photograph. I use a DSLR so my images will become better quality than the others. I live in Perth, Western Australia and I don't have the time to take many car shots. I will go around to Vietnam and Singapore and take photos of cars. Hopefully it goes well. --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:55, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

I do try but I guess we have different views on what looks best

, Haha is it you that's shoving the Aussie images up ? ... You little sod haha!

, I've just realized why all the better images are Aussie-related ... Because you all get the better weather than the UK

, I bet when you start it'll start raining ... it's usually the case here anyway lol. –Davey2010^Talk 04:00, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Do not call me a sod! Anyway, in Perth, Western Australia during March-October the weather is cloudy, so I take the opportunity to take photos of cars. I do it normally on streets --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 04:02, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Do you even know what "a little sod" even is? ... Had I called you a cunt I could understand the whole "I'm offended" thing but jeez I called you a little sod ... How you could even be remotely offended by that?? .... Well if you're really that offended then I suggest you pack up here and get out more as trust me editors get called alot worser things (myself included!), Seeing as you're completely unable to have a laugh I'll refrain from posting anything here. –Davey2010^Talk 05:51, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
