Thanks!

Hello Styrofoam

Thank you for your help with creating theTemplate:Villas of Roman Britain . this is the first time I have created a Template of this sort and hope I have got the procedure right, although I am aware I made a bit of a mess in the initial creation any comments would be grateful. Stavros1 (talk) 03:54, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome! I don't have any suggestions for your template; it's good to use. I never made a template myself. STYROFOAM☭1994^TALK 19:44, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Socks

I believe I blocked Rws killer6, if I remember, but I'm not a checkuser so I don't know his underlying IP. I recommend that you file a WP:RFCU to find his IP. Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 15:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Barnstars

Hi Styrofoam. I couldn't help but notice you appear to have awarded yourself a barnstar on your user page. Is that a mistake in that you put it there after someone had given it to you on the talk page, or something?

Also you might want to remove the other barnstar, given it was from a blocked sockpuppet. John Smith's (talk) 16:41, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I just awarded it to myself as a joke. And isn't it still OK to hold a barnstar from a sockpuppet? STYROFOAM☭1994^TALK 16:47, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Well I wouldn't award yourself a barnstar as a joke - they're supposed to be for people recognising the work of others.

As for the second it isn't so much that it was from a sockpuppet, but the sockpuppet of a user who was already banned. In the real world would you want to put up a congratulatory message on your blog, in a book, etc from someone doing time? It's up to you, but I would remove both. You'll get barnstars from good users for your editing after a while. John Smith's (talk) 17:36, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

By the way, that barnstar came from when that sockpuppet still was not banned. STYROFOAM☭1994^TALK 19:45, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

But the user was banned. Any sockpuppet of a banned user is automatically banned when discovered. It's like saying there's no shame in a politician accepting a donation from a criminal because he hadn't been found out at that point. And you weren't really awarded the second barnstar, were you? I'd change the template to read something like "this user has returned a barnstar given by a banned sockpuppet master" as that would demonstrate your good faith. John Smith's (talk) 22:28, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I think that's a good move on your part - but you might also want to remove the template that says you received two barnstars. ;) John Smith's (talk) 18:58, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
