Sorry, Eagle, I didn't realize you were waiting on me, heh heh heh!
OK, so I think it's been well established now that the topic-sorting function of gnomebot is NOT needed. I still think some of the tag-adding functions ARE. The biggest remaining needs, I think, are STUB, WIKIFY, and especially UNCATEGORIZED. cleanup-list and disambig-cleanup would also be nice to run but I don't think there will be much need.
The attention sorting system now being run by Pearle is taking care of a LOT of what we originally thought Gnome (Bot) was going to do, so now Gnome's tasks are a lot smaller and not so urgent. If you want to also use the bot for its original tasks I think we can do that now. The pressure is off. :-) But you've been a GREAT collaborator, and I want to tell you I really appreciate all the work you've done! I also think that work shouldn't go to waste, which is another reason I'd like to keep those tag-adding routines.
One final comment: I think you get excited sometimes and don't copy-edit your posts; I notice a number of typos, spelling and grammar errors in your work sometimes. Neatness counts! If you want to get ahead in your work, be it at school or in a job, it pays sometimes to go over your words and error check them. Just some friendly advice from someone who's been over the ropes sometimes!
Best of luck, both on and off Wikipedia! Alba 15:25, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
I logged on with IE (which was on as my bot account) made sure I clicked "remember me" and then re-started VP. The warning came up on the welcome page - I clicked Yes and it's now wokring, except that I have to do the rollback by hand. Perhaps I need popups? Rich Farmbrough 00:24 7 May 2006 (UTC).
4 my man... how many should there be? - Gl e n T C (Stollery) 08:20, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
I can't sort it out. It works just fine for my User:AmiDaniel TestAccount, which similarily has a space in the username. Maybe just a fluke that one time? Try a couple more test edits and check to see if they appear. The one strange thing was that, in the revision history, when it linked your username it linked it to "/wiki/User:Eagle 101" as opposed to "/wiki/User:Eagle_101", which is what VP expected. Strange ... AmiDaniel TestAccount 08:44, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for starting the children's film categories. I see that you're busy, so I appreciate the help! Cheers, Her Pegship 23:52, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Aack. I am absolutely sure I messed up using VP. User:Avenue now shows with a BL and WL in red in the main space heading, and has a "- W" added to the user name for aticles in my watchlist space. So the W and B buttons are not innocent ways to Watch and uh Befriend someone. Can you assist me in making this right? -- Paleorthid 03:01, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Nervermind - I figured it out as Blacklist and Whitelist. A little slow witted tonight... (relieved) --

Thank you very much, that was very kind of you. I Lo ve Plankton ( T— C— U— L) 00:08, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I still have problems with the loadup. I have to use "try logging into Wiki" everytime, no matter what I have IE set to. It changes only worked briefly when I wrote of it before. Thanks for keeping an eye on things. Rlevse 01:08, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
I get the same error whether I open a separate IE window and log into Wiki first or not. Rlevse 22:44, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Let's use your page from now on. Rlevse 01:58, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok sorry about that, please make new messages a new line, else I can't tell just glancing at it. Thanks.
Being that we both seem to have the same operating system and version of IE, I am going to start at the begginning.
1)Verify that you are accepting all cookies.
2)I have already double checked your popups, they are fine.
3)Is IE your main browser, or do you use firefox?
I have more info, pending your responses:-). Eagle talk 00:02, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
1) How do I verify if I am accepting all cookies? 2) OK 3) I only use IE. Thanks for the help, Rlevse 01:42, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Try logging in and out, and refreshing your browser at the monobook screen. Give me the results:-)
My fault, I put a bad link:-( Eagle talk 21:08, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Note: After saving, you have to bypass your browser's cache to see the changes. Mozilla/Safari/Konqueror: hold down Shift while clicking Reload (or press Ctrl-Shift-R), IE: press Ctrl-F5, Opera: press F5.
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="'
+ ' http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:Lupin/popups.js' + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');
and when I hit Ctrl-F5, nothing appears to change. Then I closed IE, opened VP and got same results as before. Rlevse 21:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I sent you to your own monobook, when you purge, does the screen 'flicker'? Purgeing the browser forces it to reload everything, make sure when you do this you have NO other windows open. Please try agian, and log out/log in (check the box "remember me"). Nothing special happens that you can see. Tell me if this works:-) Eagle talk 21:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Does it "remember" you in your normal browser? or is it only VandalProof (for now on VP).? Eagle talk 21:41, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Please double check to make sure that you are a administrator on your computor.(ask if you don't know how) I am going to ask you to do a couple things Eagle talk 21:59, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Rlevse 22:28, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Did you delete that stuff??? just clarifying? Eagle talk 22:32, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok, lets do a test. The results of this test should tell me what the problem is. Note It may NOT fix the problem, but once you do it, feel free to try:-).
Follow these steps to the letter...
I will be off the wiki for the rest of today, so I will check back tomarrow. Eagle talk 01:45, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok, sounds good, check what is in your cookie file next as well. (see if there is something related to wikipedia. (this is what wikipedia uses to tell who you are. Vandalproof only checks to see if the username that you are logged in as matches the username that you are trying to log in as in vandalproof. (keep in mind this is not VP's fault... rather something is not set right in your brower.) Eagle talk 18:37, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
NOTE: you can access internet settings outside of the browser. Click the start button(on the taskbar in windows... same place you go to shut down computer) One of the menu buttons should say Control Panal. Click that. Internet settings are in this folder, just look. Eagle talk 18:40, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok, tell me what you have. we have this problem cornered. (I am going to ask the programmer what specific one you need to have, but in the meantime as a programmer myself I will be able to tell which one it is given a list:-) Eagle talk 22:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
yes the Page not found is normal, I get it every time as well... Give me a few minutes with the cookies:-)
OH LOL, duh... if you log out, vandalproof requires that you log in, (else how can the program verify you against the approved user list). The question is, does it work if you are logged in? and the "remember me" check box is checked? Eagle talk 22:51, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok, we have established that it is your computer that is the problem. I want a couple things
Good luck!!! After this we will know where we stand, lets hope for 4 "yes, I'm logged in" :-) Eagle talk 23:27, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Yes to all 4 questions. Rlevse 23:48, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
In that case, I believe that purging your cookie directory was the solution:-)... notice the past tense there, Congratulations and thank you for your good efforts on helping me fix it. PROBLEM SOLVED.
Thank YOU for stepping and checking on me and helping so much! Rlevse 00:00, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Nixeagle/Talk/Archive/4! You have now been added to the list of authorized users, so if you haven't already, simply download and install VandalProof from our main page. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any other moderator, or you can post a message on the discussion page. Eagle talk 19:07, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
please explain. I can tell you right now what your problem is. the program does not like those "()"'s. I know how to work this around, but I need to know what you changed. Eagle talk 20:05, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Tell me if you can log in. Eagle talk 20:23, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok, I have notified 5 other mods (there are 11 total) that are on now, or will be comming on soon. It is out of my hands now. Please try agian, using your normal username agian every hour or so. If someone notifies me, or I see the change I will post here to tell you the good news!!! Eagle talk 20:51, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Try now, a mod just null edited for me. Eagle talk 20:55, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Please add a further comment on my talk with the page you want a null edit on, and I'll do it fairly quickly. Thanks. —

I am assuming that you know how to do this, as you followed our conclusions very well, if you don't feel free to ask!! Eagle talk 21:33, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm having trouble logging into VandalProof. Any suggestions?-- E va d b 08:39, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok, first off lets have this whole conversation on my page, so we can keep this togather. (any new tips that are learned from this I want to be able to pass to others... this conversation will actually have some value for others:-). Also I don't feel like jumping pages, especially if we don't find the solution right off of the bat:-).
Ok, first off, I noticed that you do not have popups in your monobook.js, so we are going to need to add these first:-)
Thank you for allowing me to help you, and please remember to check my talk page for the duration of this conversation:-) Eagle talk 19:15, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Another user with the same problem as before, ^demon. I tried to fix it, but this looks to be harder since the ASCII hex code (that is what to use right?) has a letter in it. You may want to look at it.

I agree strongly with what you said. O well. He is one now. We all have our cross to bear. Wallie 05:18, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Must be about this...

To add yourself to this category, add {{ VandalProof Moderators}} for the user box above, or [[Category:Wikipedians that are VandalProof Moderators|{{PAGENAME}}]] to your user page. Thanks! - Gl e n T C (Stollery) 23:10, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your vote on my RfA. Unfortunately there was no consensus reached at 43 support, 18 oppose and 8 neutral. I've just found out that there is a feature in "my preferences" that forces me to use edit summaries. I've now got it enabled :) Thanks again. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 15:52, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! -- AmiDaniel ( talk) 02:19, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
No, there's a slight timer now, so it may take a while for the page to render. If it doesn't return to its normal form then this may be a bug. AmiDaniel ( talk) 02:53, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your help there - it looks a lot better. I think that pretty much covers everything actually - I put the tag up simply because the layout was so disorganised, that's been sorted impeccably :-). I can't really comment on the content as I don't know anything much about it, I stumbled across it while doing a recent changes patrol. Many thanks, Chrisd87 09:03, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the offer of putting me on VandalProof - that'd be great please. I'd seen the page about the software, and was waiting for the 250 edit point before applying. Regards, Chrisd87 17:32, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
got your message about approval for VandalProof, but can't seem to get it to accept me as an authorised user. Any ideas? Chrisd87 17:06, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

No probs with new user addition. - Gl e n T C (Stollery) 23:17, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
I just have a few questions about the VP applacation. 1. How do i know how many edits i have. 2. are there any other requirements that i need to fill. 3. how soon can i apply again? That is all my questions Thanks,-- Wompa99 00:08, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Hey, for some reason, after I downloaded vandal proof, installed it, and followed all of the directions it still dosen't work. It actually lets me run the Vandal Proof program, but as soon as i started it, it says I do not have the correct user name. Please help. Thetruthbelow (talk) 01:22, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, I really appreciate your help. Thanks again, Thetruthbelow (talk) 01:28, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
I use internet Explorer to edit.
I log in every time I use Wikipedia
My operating system is Microsoft Windows XP Version 2002
Finally I am about a 2.5 on computer competence.
Thetruthbelow (talk) 01:45, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok, I need to clarify 2 of the questions.
Give me responses to those and I will be able to start. Eagle talk 01:50, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Thetruthbelow (talk) 01:54, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok, based on I click the log in button every time I enter Wikipedia. I am going to have you check and see if you have cookies enabled. (do you know how? if not yell at me) Eagle talk 01:56, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
it still says on the VP program that I am not a registered user. Did you already add me to the list? Thetruthbelow (talk) 02:06, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Try removing and reinstalling VP. File/Pathname error suggests that this may be the case... Eagle talk 02:23, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
did that twice so for, no difference. Sorry, Thetruthbelow (talk) 02:24, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
What did you download... the .exe or the .zip? Eagle talk 02:26, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
I also tried that twice. First the .exe. then when I deleted everything the .zip Thetruthbelow (talk) 02:27, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
I have to in about 5 min. If I can't fix it today, there is always tommorow. Thetruthbelow (talk) 02:26, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm having trouble logging into VandalProof. Any suggestions?-- E va d b 08:39, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok, first off lets have this whole conversation on my page, so we can keep this togather. (any new tips that are learned from this I want to be able to pass to others... this conversation will actually have some value for others:-). Also I don't feel like jumping pages, especially if we don't find the solution right off of the bat:-).
Ok, first off, I noticed that you do not have popups in your monobook.js, so we are going to need to add these first:-)
Thank you for allowing me to help you, and please remember to check my talk page for the duration of this conversation:-) Eagle talk 19:15, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Another user with the same problem as before, ^demon. I tried to fix it, but this looks to be harder since the ASCII hex code (that is what to use right?) has a letter in it. You may want to look at it.

I agree strongly with what you said. O well. He is one now. We all have our cross to bear. Wallie 05:18, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Must be about this...
Thanks. Wallie 18:57, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

To add yourself to this category, add {{ VandalProof Moderators}} for the user box above, or [[Category:Wikipedians that are VandalProof Moderators|{{PAGENAME}}]] to your user page. Thanks! - Gl e n T C (Stollery) 23:10, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your vote on my RfA. Unfortunately there was no consensus reached at 43 support, 18 oppose and 8 neutral. I've just found out that there is a feature in "my preferences" that forces me to use edit summaries. I've now got it enabled :) Thanks again. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 15:52, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! -- AmiDaniel ( talk) 02:19, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
No, there's a slight timer now, so it may take a while for the page to render. If it doesn't return to its normal form then this may be a bug. AmiDaniel ( talk) 02:53, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your help there - it looks a lot better. I think that pretty much covers everything actually - I put the tag up simply because the layout was so disorganised, that's been sorted impeccably :-). I can't really comment on the content as I don't know anything much about it, I stumbled across it while doing a recent changes patrol. Many thanks, Chrisd87 09:03, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the offer of putting me on VandalProof - that'd be great please. I'd seen the page about the software, and was waiting for the 250 edit point before applying. Regards, Chrisd87 17:32, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
got your message about approval for VandalProof, but can't seem to get it to accept me as an authorised user. Any ideas? Chrisd87 17:06, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

What if I loaded 1.1 would that work? - Gl e n T C (Stollery) 20:50, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
No probs with new user addition. - Gl e n T C (Stollery) 23:17, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
I just have a few questions about the VP applacation. 1. How do i know how many edits i have. 2. are there any other requirements that i need to fill. 3. how soon can i apply again? That is all my questions Thanks,-- Wompa99 00:08, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Hey, for some reason, after I downloaded vandal proof, installed it, and followed all of the directions it still dosen't work. It actually lets me run the Vandal Proof program, but as soon as i started it, it says I do not have the correct user name. Please help. Thetruthbelow (talk) 01:22, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, I really appreciate your help. Thanks again, Thetruthbelow (talk) 01:28, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
I use internet Explorer to edit.
I log in every time I use Wikipedia
My operating system is Microsoft Windows XP Version 2002
Finally I am about a 2.5 on computer competence.
Thetruthbelow (talk) 01:45, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok, I need to clarify 2 of the questions.
Give me responses to those and I will be able to start. Eagle talk 01:50, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Thetruthbelow (talk) 01:54, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok, based on I click the log in button every time I enter Wikipedia. I am going to have you check and see if you have cookies enabled. (do you know how? if not yell at me) Eagle talk 01:56, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
it still says on the VP program that I am not a registered user. Did you already add me to the list? Thetruthbelow (talk) 02:06, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Try removing and reinstalling VP. File/Pathname error suggests that this may be the case... Eagle talk 02:23, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
did that twice so for, no difference. Sorry, Thetruthbelow (talk) 02:24, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
What did you download... the .exe or the .zip? Eagle talk 02:26, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
I also tried that twice. First the .exe. then when I deleted everything the .zip Thetruthbelow (talk) 02:27, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
I have to in about 5 min. If I can't fix it today, there is always tommorow. Thetruthbelow (talk) 02:26, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
