Quite frankly I am a little confused. From your comments at Wikipedia talk:Meta-templates considered harmful#Scope creep it looks like you are endorsing User:Netoholic's overwrought and distorted description of the stub creation process. So instead of getting a substantive response to my comments, Netoholic just adds a "me, too" post, and then accuses me of trolling and deception as well. BlankVerse ∅ 20:27, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Hi. Your bot seems not to have worked on the vfd tonight. It worked on vfd/old though. Preisler 05:34, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Just going through the VfDs now as I see there's quite a backlog. Sheesh, things have changed somewhat! - Ta bu shi da yu 05:43, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Concerning the cartoon character list VfD, isn't 9 of 15 votes for deletion (60%) less than the required 70% for consensus? I'm not especially concerned about this list (even though I voted to keep it), and won't miss it now that it's gone, but this strikes me as encouraging the "simple majority consensus" argument that I've seen misused elsewhere. — Jeff Q 07:16, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

How would you like to have a copy of my VFD/Old cleanup bot assistant? It does a lot of grunt work, just not the counting of the votes. -- AllyUnion (talk) 10:03, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Hi AllyUnion: You wrote: I wish to assist you with your bot request. Could clarify the problem for me? Below is what I understand. Please correct me if I'm incorrect.
In the article, Communes_of_the_province_of_Brescia, there are links to several articles in a list format of: * [[Article]] or *[[Article]]. You want each article in this to make sure that all articles in the taxobox is linked correctly as: [[Regions of Italy|Region]]
Also, do want to change the list to a category or leave it as a list for now?
Thank you for your advice:

This article obviously has an incorrect character in its title, so it should be deleted. (There is an article with a well-formed title on the same topic, Pestszentlorinc, it contains all the information mentioned in the previous article.) -- Adam78 00:54, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I wanted to link to the above, but the deletion template doesn't work. Are these characters really so nasty? At least I can link (above) to the article with the faulty title, and from that page you can reach its "Votes for deletion" entry. The problem is more than obvious... --

and for your help, but that's what I had done (as I read in the VfD instructions), and it didn't work for me -- that's why I asked for help. It still doesn't work really well for me: the template itself works though, but its link is red and it links to a new, non-existent page: Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Pestszentlőrinc whose title is even worse than the title in question. (BTW, I use Opera 7.54u1. I wonder if the fixed link works well for you.) Anyway, I hope that whoever wants to visit the page, will be able to do so sooner or later...

Thanks for the reminder. Like what I have mentioned at a time of crisis, the recent discussion involves understanding of the complicated political and legal statuses of the entities. I found the introduction inadequate to provide voters information, and therefore the need to tell more when contributors are giving comments. — Insta ntnood 12:27 Feb 24 2005 (UTC)

Hi AllyUnion,
I wanted to ask you for help. I have posted reports on continuous and extremely malicious acts of vandalism by anon user 84.154.xx.xx in Wikipedia:Vandalism_in_progress but unfortunately and rather surprisingly to me, received no feedback from admins and no reaction and punishment followed against the vandal. Could you please help me with this issue? For details please, see Wikipedia:Vandalism_in_progress#84.154.104.16 Thanks! -- Tabib 14:23, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Hi AllyUnion. Now, when you put page protection to the Safavids page, this anon 84.154.xx.xx switched on to my userpage and simply terrorizes me with his stupid insults. Today he vandalized my userpage (see page history) 3 (THREE-!) times, this time operating under IP # 84.154.50.175. Before that he also vandalized my user page several times. He not only vandalizes the page, but writes explicit personal insults. He even dared to insult me publicly again in Wikipedia vandalism in progress. Please, take appropriate measures to punish this mad man. I very much hope you can help me to get rid of this importunate fly.-- Tabib 19:20, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
