User talk:Magnus Maximus
- The following is in regards to Talk:Thirteen original Transformers#Logos Prime
God I fucking hate this place sometimes. Oh well, I guess I'll see you in a month, maybe. - Magnus Maximus 21:12, 27 May 2009 (EDT)
- Hey MM, I've restored your account. I think Walky 1) didn't realize you'd moved rather than deleted information, and 2) thought you were another user who's had a bizarre focus on removing info from the 13 page in the past, neither of which seems to be the case. Your edits to the page seemed quite reasonable to me, though I'm not the expert on that particular subject.
- All that said, the 13 page is a little bit of a sensitive area for those who've struggled with it for ages (not that you should be expected to know this, but still.) It's probably not a bad idea to bring up possible changes on the talk page first, even relatively minor ones. -- Repowers 11:04, 28 May 2009 (EDT)
- Hey, thanks man. In my defence it had already been brought up on the talk page by someone else, and seemingly went unchallenged, and I did try to explain what I was doing in the edit summary. I thought the edit was reasonable, too, but apparently not. Whatever. I'm not so petty as to hold a grudge or anything. - Magnus Maximus 17:51, 28 May 2009 (EDT)
- But apparently I'm still blocked. - Magnus Maximus 17:58, 28 May 2009 (EDT)
- Hmm, I just tried to unblock you, and it says you're not blocked. The pages could be cached though. --abates 18:07, 28 May 2009 (EDT)
- I just checked, and you're unblocked. What you're experiencing may be a caching issue. Maybe your caching, maybe Squid on this end. Log out, purge your cache, and log back in. If it's still doing it, then it's likely the Squid cache issue Suki has been working on, and should be resolved soon. Hope this helps!--RosicrucianTalk 18:10, 28 May 2009 (EDT)
- Nope. Logged out, cleared cache and cookies, logged back in, same message as before. And I can't even log in at all when I try it with IE. Oh well, I'll come back tomorrow and try again. Hell of a time to get banned, eh? - Magnus Maximus 18:20, 28 May 2009 (EDT)
- Man, we are having the worst teething problems. I feel for Scout trying to get everything to cooperate. Anyway, I rebanned and then unbanned you to see if that would help. --abates 19:59, 28 May 2009 (EDT)
- It's not a caching issue - what happens when a banned user tries to edit a page is that that IP address is automatically blocked from editing ("Autoblocked", as it were) for a period of time to stop them switching accounts. This autoblock does NOT automatically end with the original ban (whether it expires or, as here, is actually rescinded), and every time an autoblocked user tries to edit a page... it gets longer. This isn't an unexpected side effect of the wiki moving, it's the designed behaviour.
- Either an admin needs to go to Special:Ipblocklist and explicitly undo the autoblock, or MM needs to wait until that ends before trying to edit. - SanityOrMadness 20:10, 28 May 2009 (EDT)
- Aha! done! --abates 21:51, 28 May 2009 (EDT)
- Cool. Thanks. - Magnus Maximus 09:30, 29 May 2009 (EDT)

I'm a month weighing in on this, but surely a mod should be able to spot regular editors by name alone? Magnus has uploaded tons of images. If all of a sudden, somebody like him appeared to be vandalising stuff, a cursory investigation should at least be made? Hell, unless there was widespread abuse, I'd give everybody the benefit of the doubt just in case little brother or evil work colleague was playing practical joker Drmick 13:21, 1 July 2009 (EDT)
Small request
If you're going to upload any more Marvel UK covers, could you please upload them to "Image:MarvelUK-XXX.jpg" (where XXX is a three digit number with leading zeros, e.g., 012 for #12) and stick a {{replacedimage}} on the old one?
The naming schema for them right now is a complete mess - if we ever upgrade so that files can be moved like pages (as the current MediaWiki version apparently allows), I'm going to go through and move them all, but in the meantime, any little sorting-out would be helpful... - SanityOrMadness 13:31, 25 October 2009 (EDT)
- Can do, although I don't know if I will upload any more. I only did that one to help clear out the badimage category. - Magnus Maximus 13:38, 25 October 2009 (EDT)
- That's not the only bad one if you can scan more though - just from a quick sample, Image:Marvel_uk_009cover.jpg, Image:MarvelUK-010.jpg and especially Image:MarvelUK-22.jpg are all fairly bad. - SanityOrMadness 13:49, 25 October 2009 (EDT)
