Editing User talk:NiceGuy1

==Andrew vs NiceGuy1==
Hi NiceGuy1. Was looking at the [[Special:ContributionScores|Contribution scores]], and was wondering who Andrew was. When I clicked in, I was directed to your page. Can you explain why your account list your contributions under a different name? Just curious --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 08:51, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
:Andrew is my real name, I didn't realize I had put it on my account (this was a few years ago now), and I'm not sure why ExplainXKCD would be using it anywhere like that instead of my user name. ??? I certainly don't approve. And I don't see any Account page where I can see it listed at all... As it is I'm annoyed that the site keeps insisting on showing my username as red, saying my Talk page doesn't exist (this message MAY have changed that, but it doesn't look like it). Might be that it needs confirmation but the site refuses to send me the confirmation email. [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 06:31, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
::I've created your user page, so now your username doesn't appear red. [[User:While False|While False]] ([[User talk:While False|talk]]) 13:55, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
:::Thanks! Though it HAS been handy for spotting my comments, :) [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 13:54, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
:Found the Preferences page, it has an optional entry for "Real Name", I entered Andrew there. I would question why ExplainXKCD is showing Real Name anywhere. :) [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 06:37, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
::Have you then changed it to NiceGuy1, that would be smart for you and others (I have put in Kynde as my real name there I see now). Agree that it is silly it post the real name. But guess the contribution score looks deeper... I'm happy you contribute so much. Did not know of course as I knew NiceGuy but not Andrew was posting changes ;-) --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 13:11, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I guess I should do that. It seems wrong to put anything besides my real name as Real Name, but looks like that's the best thing to do. [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 13:54, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

== Notifying of an overdue reply ==

Hi there,

As I was very late replying to you on [[Talk:2736: Only Serifs]], I just wanted to notify you that I have replied out of courtesy.

Apologies for the delay! There's no obligation to reply; I just figured it would make sense to let you know. --[[User:Sophira|Sophira]] ([[User talk:Sophira|talk]]) 12:32, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

== Huge vandalism returned ==

Hello there... Apparently the xkcd vandalism with childish pictures has returned yet again... Do you think we need automated bots to revert this type of inane BS vandalism? [[Special:Contributions/172.70.42.122|172.70.42.122]] 01:01, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
:Well, I have no ability to implement bots, and feels like a steep learning curve to learn to program one... I HAVE to think that admins can block the guilty IP addresses? Or at least can lock editing pages, or restrict it until the immature people give up. [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 14:16, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

== *cough* ==

A [https://www.lspace.org/fandom/filks/genfilk/the-lurkers-support-me-in-email.html word to the wise], maybe..? [[Special:Contributions/172.71.178.153|172.71.178.153]] 13:10, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

== User page ==
Could you create my user page, please? [[User:Contact Merge|2801: Contact Merge]] ([[User talk:Contact Merge|talk]]) 23:47, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
:Could I, in turn, petition against all these "users that take the names of comics" being actively helped in this way... whatever it is they want to do. Unnecessary, as far as actual helpful moderation. Of course they may ''eventually'' gain the right to sort themselves out, but it should remain at least as much a hurdle as an ordinary username. (Unless they're admin-sanctioned/-operated, in which case they wouldn't ''need'' to ask!) [[Special:Contributions/172.70.90.100|172.70.90.100]] 08:05, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
