- You have to go to the "history" tab of the article, then click the link that says "View logs for this page". It is kind of smaller, in the top left, underneath "Revision history of <<Pagename>> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" Killiondude (talk) 22:32, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: please move-protect paypal
Thank you for the message you left on my talk page [2]. The PayPal article has been indefinitely move-protected [3]. Please let me know if you have any other concerns or issues. Thanks, — Kralizec! (talk) 03:37, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
HELP!
- If you reply to this note here, I will not know about it (because I'm not going to 'watch' this page). So, after you've replied, you should let me know. Try it - please reply here, below, indenting your reply with two colons (::). Then, let me know - to do that, go to my own talk page, user talk:chzz - which normally you would get to by clicking the right-hand bit of my sig. Then create a new section at the end of my talk page, and put this;
{{tb|Btilm}} ~~~~
- Save that on my talk with an edit summary (just "tb" would be fine).
- And then, I will be alerted - it'll say to me at the top, "you have new messages" - hence I will see your talkback thing, and I'll come back here, and see your reply.
- Hope this makes sense? Guess we'll find out soon :-) If it doesn't work or you're still puzzled, for more help, you can either;
- Leave a message on my own talk page;
OR
- Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end;
OR
- Talk to us live, with this or this.
- Is this how?
- Almost.
- How about this? Btw...Is there a page on wiki where I can type in a username and wiki will tell me what types of "powers" they have? By powers I mean like bots or administrators.

- The page on Wikipedia that you can use to give the user rights of a user, or to list the users that are in a user group, is Special:ListUsers. Please let me know if there are any more questions. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 00:03, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
(outdent) In reply to your question about rights (and in addition to the above), note that in my preferences (at the top), enabling Navigation popups will mean that when you hover your mouse over a user link, it will show their rights in a pop-up window. It's a very useful tool in other ways too.
In reply to the 'How about this?' - I notice that you added a talkback thing at the very top of your talk page, and then removed it (thanks) - but, because you did not add a 'talkback' at the end of my page (or within the section we were discussing things in), I had no way of knowing that you had replied. I'm sorry, it's probably my own fault for not explaining things clearly enough; let me give it another try.
Let's say Fred wants to speak to Bob. So they leave a message on Bob's talk page. Bob will be alerted, and shoudl reply underneath it - but Fred will not know that Bob has replied, unless he checks back. So, it'd be nice if Bob would leave a talkback template on Freds talk page. Then Fred will get the banner alerting them to 'new messages' (ie the talkback), and by clicking on the talkback will see the reply. If Bob replies there again, Fred will be alerted, and Bob doesn't need to do anything further. And so on.
If the conversation thread was, instead, happening on an article talk page - and in the same way the two users were replying to each other - then they should both leave a talkback on the others talk page each time they reply.
I hope this is a bit clearer. Let me know if I can help further. Chzz ► 01:05, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Talkback
Hello.
You left me a 'talkback' note 21:36, 20 August 2009, but I'm not sure which part (if any) on your page still needs an answer? Please let me know if you need something. Chzz ► 09:36, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

- In order to have an article on Wikipedia, the subject must meet the notability guidelines. The simplest, most important one is the general notability guideline, which says a subject needs significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. That carefully-worded phrase explains quite a lot;
- In order to have an article on Wikipedia, the subject must meet the notability guidelines. The simplest, most important one is
- Significant coverage - such as, a number of news articles about the article topic - not passing mentions
- Reliable sources - well, this is defined in some detail in WP:RS, but the essence of it is - something that is generally trusted - such as the BBC, CNN, The New York Times. Books are good, too. Blog-sites are rarely reliable.

- Books, newspapers, and magazines are some of the best reference sources for Wikipedia articles. You can cite these sources by using the appropriate citation tools listed at WP:CITET. As an example of this in action, after I purchased the book In Their Name, I was able to use it to add citations to the Oklahoma City bombing article. However even if you do not have physical access to a particular source, sometimes it can be found online like at google books. This is especially true for newspapers; for the Super Tuesday, 2008 article, I was able to add a half-dozen citations by using the papers' on-line editions [4]. Hope this helps! — Kralizec!

User Warnings
- If you consider that it is vandalism, you could use {{subst:uw-vandalism1}}, see Template:uw-vandalism1for documentation.
- Otherwise, perhaps the 'adding unsourced info' template would apply, {{subst:uw-unsourced1}}, see Template:Uw-unsourced1 for documentation.
- Note, both should be substitutedon the page, eg {{subst:uw-unsourced1}}.
- You would adjust the '1' to 2,3,4 depending on previous warnings and severity.

RE: Rollback?
The requirement for getting rollback includes you reading and being willing to abide by the rollbacker rules outlined at
Your request for rollback
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Wikipedia_Rollback.svg/120px-Wikipedia_Rollback.svg.png)
After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback can be used to revert clear cases of vandalismonly, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback may be removed at any time.
If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view
