thanks for the revert, any chance of speeding up the RFP I just submitted? Zedla ( talk) 10:38, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I am akhamenehpour, and I wanted to apologize for my poor behavior last night. Where I live, which is Piedmont, Ca, it was after 2 AM, and I was having a very bad week. I know that that is not an excuse for my mistakes, but I just wanted to ask you to forgive me. I now understand not to vandalize Wikipedia as I did to Piedmont + Piedmont, Ca, but I really wasn't doing it to vandalize Wikipedia, it was because I was having problems with the city and school administrations, and I saw this as a way of getting back at them. I know no that I shouldn't have done it. Chris, if I wanted to continue vandalizing, I wouldn't be writing this right now, I could have created another account to vandalize with. Besides, if I was really a vandal, I wouldn't have only been dealing with Piedmont, Ca and Piedmont High School. If you look at my edits before that, some were very productive, including one on the discography of Hassan Shamaizadeh. Please give me another chance. Block me for a week, two weeks, a month, but not indefinitely. You can always track changes I made and easily block me again. I am sorry and understand that last night I acted childish and immature and I shouldn't have unloaded my tensions and anger onto you. Even if you decide not to unblock me, please forgive me in your heart, as that is what counts. PS, I want to admit that last night I mad akhamenehpour1 and akhamenehpour2 mostly for vandalism. You can delete them now, as I don't need them and aren't going to use them. I also apologize for some of my vandalism on Alameda County and Piedmont Unified School District, last night. Thank You, Akhamenehpour —Preceding unsigned comment added by Akhamenehpour2 ( talk • contribs) 20:59, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I was just adding extra comments to the AfD and conflicted with your Keep, which is okay by me. I think the Keep may have been premature, since it was a consensus of only one editor and the COI creator of the page, but there wasn't a whole lot of discussion and time had expired, so no harm/no foul. The cites/refs added were weak and I have added my review of those on the article talk page. I suppose someone else might renom it for AfD, if it's decided that WP:N hasn't been sufficiently met. I'll leave it as it is for now as I was unable to find and add any reliable, verifiable sources to support the claims made. Other editors can review at their leisure.

On December 19 2007 User:Kingboyk deleted eight articles I started. I didn't get any heads-up that there were concerns over these articles. So I didn't have an opportunity to address them.
I asked Kingboyk to userify them but they haven't been online for over three weeks.
Could you please move these articles, their histories and talk pages?
Thanks! Geo Swan ( talk) 18:35, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, wonder if you wouldn't mind giving a bit of assistance. There's an AfD going on for a middle school in Bedfordshire which is deemed secondary by the local authority. Looking at the proposed WP Schools Article guidelines, it falls in both the proposed notable and non notable camps. So as one of the two participants listed on the page (and the only UK based one!), I was wondering if you would clarify where a school like this one would stand. I should point out that I haven't given a 'keep' or 'delete' at the AfD, I was just wondering as there seems to be a few schools with thier own article listed at Middle Schools in England. Many thanks -- Starrycupz ( talk) 23:04, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
I hope I'm not bothering you, just trying to still soak everything up. Is there a way, for future reference, to edit the main page....in case something needs edited? Just wondering, an FYI sort of thing. Thanks.... Dusti talk to me 17:55, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I have just cleaned up this page. Would you carry out an independent assessment please, on the talk page, for the Project? TerriersFan ( talk) 23:02, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi CT Cooper!
I noticed you were a member of WikiProject Education, and thought you might be interested in WikiProject Homeschooling. In this "WikiProject," we have been together working on the collaboration of Homeschooling-related articles. As a member, I really hope you can join, and let me know if you need any help signing up or with anything else. If you have any questions about the project you can ask at the project's talk page. Cheers! RC-0722 communicator/ kills 23:19, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
I wanted to personally thank you, Camaron, for your support in my recent RfB. I am thankful and appreciative that you feel that I am worthy of the trust the community requires of its bureaucrats, and I am especially thankful that you took the time to enunciate that clearly during the discussion; I hope to continue to behave in a way that maintains your trust in me and my actions. I have heard the community's voice that they require more of a presence at RfA's of prospective bureaucrats, and I will do my best over the near future to demonstrate such a presence and allow the community to see my philosophy and practices in action. I hope I can continue to count on your support when I decide to once again undergo an RfB. If you have any suggestions, comments, or constructive criticisms, please let me know via talkpage or e-mail. Thank you again. -- Avi ( talk) 16:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
My "Adopter"" Fabrictramp has given me a challenge, to work on Michael Thomas Ford and clean the article up. Can you let me know how I'm doing so far. Fabrictramp is offline right now and you're the first person I thought of. Dusti talk to me 20:02, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
This isn't directed at you personally, but it's time to vent about an absurd system: Wiki seems to have some incredibly weak standards about what is sufficient for indefinite semi-protection that only encourage vandalism and discourage constructive editing or editors. When almost all of the activity on a page is anon IP vandalism and reverting it (daily) one is left to ask: is there any purpose in allowing such editing on that particular page? Seems like a waste of resources for zero gain and intended to frustrate constructive editors.
I selected this one as a test to see how/if the system worked. What I have learned is that Wikipedia has little interest in aiding editors in preventing vandals in an intelligent manner. Instead the system is turned on its head: Make it easy for the vandals, hard for the editors and those who actually take the time to report it. It's not worth our time to even revert the vandalism. When I check the talk pages of the vandal IP's they often have a number of low level warnings with no teeth and no consequences--especially when you see several back-to-back final warnings. It's an ornate system that isn't used to any advantage that I can see. At any rate, I've learned what I needed to know: I'm not going to bother doing reverts, warnings, and requests for protection anymore as they are so transitory as to be useless.

Hi, I think we have another sock puppet for User the fence User:Teethmany. His only contribution is to vandalize the same article Cave Clan and direct the vandalism towards me. Would it be possible for this account to be blocked as well . --User:Adam.J.W.C. (talk) ( talk) 06:50, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
I have one small issue concerning the Cave Clan article. It was a small list of explorable sites that I added. This list was constantly being blanked out by sock or Ip addresses. When the article was protected it was protected after an Ip address came along and removed content. I was wondering if some of the content can be added back. The only thing that I am interested in restoring is the list of explorable sites. The articles in the list are relevant to the topic of Urban Exploration, and this is where the mob in question take people on guided tours. The list is on the talk page for that article along with pictures of the sites with captions that might give some explanation as to why the articles are related. If the list was reinserted I think the appropriate header would be either, 'sites of urban exploration in Sydney' or something along those lines.
Also I wrote those articles and I also went to all the sites in question and took pictures which can be viewed in each article. Anyone that had a strong interest in urban exploration and the content of the Cave Clan article, would appreciate being lead to those articles. Cheers . --User:Adam.J.W.C.

We have created this article, but this captured by officers of Racist Georgian Goverment. They have converted to Georgian official propaganda text from that academic article with their quackish bad claims. You can block me, now. You can block us now, and all of us, so Laz-Mingrelian peoples now on wikipedia. But you can't never block historical facts and historical documentary materials evermore. You can't block, archaic classicals, so PROCOPIUS, JORDANES, AGATHIAS, XENEPHON and others.. And you can't deny these facts to the end of time.. Dauernd (talk) 12:48, 23 March 2008 (UTC))
(unindent)Regardless of the fact that your post to the wikiproject doesn't violate the letter of WP:CANVAS it still goes against the spirit of that page when you are edit warring with someone and the number of revisions have exceeded the double digits and you make a post to a wikiproject requesting folks that would most likely agree with you to come to the article. The however the source didn't really support your claims anyway as the source said that Mingrelians consider themselves Georgians whereas the article is claiming that Mingrelians are a sub-group of Georgians. That's not the same thing. Pocopocopocopoco ( talk) 04:18, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
I have to agree that it is probably best if you continue to discuss content related issues on the article talk page. It will help your case as well if you try and stay within WP:3RR, and try and discuss the topic not each other. As for the canvassing issue, I agree with being careful, but canvassing relevant WikiProjects in a neutral manner is not normally considered a bad thing - even if it was against policy it is not a serious enough issue to take administrative action over. Camaron | Chris (talk) 11:20, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Dear Camaron,
This user continues blunt vandalism here [4] and also removed vandalism warning from his talk page [5]. He also also investigated for sockpopetry [6]. He also vandalized my talk page [7]. We need your help, I warned him on his talk page but he keeps removing the warning tag. Thanks a lot. Iberieli ( talk) 13:58, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello, you might want to look at this regarding the request for protection from radiosmaher Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/Pinoybandwagon. It would appear that Pinoybandwagon stopped requesting the protections, and then radiosmasher continued.

At Sean Hannity, the history is that Hannity supporters have no quality sources to cite that reviews his books favorably because they do not exist. So they dislike that and want to remove the negative reviews. Sorry, but a book that only receives negative reviews is just that. They then gripe to a sysop, who drives by and locks the page. Hannity supporters then have a month to find the positive reviews, and discover they don't exist. Then those people go on to other things, a period goes by, and new Hannity supporters come along, and then the same thing starts all over again. That's just stupid and you played right into it.

Hello, do you believe the placement of a vandalism report by User:Appletrees was disruptive? I do, but I didn't see any repercussions against this editor, who is habitually incivil and an inveterate blanker of others' text. Badagnani ( talk) 19:00, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello, Chris.
I wanted to personally thank you for taking part in the project-wide discussions regarding my candidacy for bureaucratship. After bureaucratic discussion, the bureaucrats decided that there was sufficient significant and varied opposition to my candidacy, and thus no consensus to promote. Although personally disappointed, I both understand and respect their decision, especially in light of historical conservatism the project has had when selecting its bureaucrats. If you have any further suggestions or comments as to how you think I could help the project, please let me know. Once again, thank you for your both your early and strong support -- Avi ( talk) 16:30, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
User:Appletrees is persistently accusing me of "making personal attacks" just as he did against User:Badagnani, but now he's claiming that my personal page is "directed at him." He tells me that his "Watchlist" is clearly proof that I am editing articles "directed at him," but I can state categorically that I have never read or seen his Watchlist--I simply don't care. Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated. - WikiSkeptic ( talk) 17:48, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Due to popular demand, HAU has a new look. Since the changes are so dramatic, I may have made some mistakes when translating the data. Please take a look at WP:HAU/EU and make sure your checkmarks are in the right place and feel free to add or remove some. There is a new feature, SoxBot V, a recently approved bot, automatically updates your online/offline status based on the length of time since your last edit. To allow SoxBot V to do this, you'll need to copy [[Category:Wikipedians who use StatusBot]] to your userpage. Obviously you are not required to add this to your userpage, however, without this, your status will always be "offline" at HAU. Thanks. Useight ( talk) 17:14, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed you reduced the protection time on the Solar energy page. Check out the comments by the IP who requested the reduction on the Solar energy talk page. The page was protected in part because the IP is forking a large chunk of the page. I am the principle author of the page and I would like to see it stay together. I've asked for a peer review from the Energy group and the general Wiki community. The suggestions have been helpful and after they are incorporated I'll hopefully get the A-Team or the League to copy edit. I hope you consider raising the protection time to a month. This should give the page enough stability to get through the PR and onto a group copy edit. Thank you. Mrshaba ( talk) 04:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight ( talk) 22:20, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for transferring the rest of that article's history. There's just one minor quibble though, as the AfD closure also dictated deletion (rather than redirection) of the Scotland article. While redirects are cheap, "Scotland in the Eurovision Song Contest" is a very unlikely search term and no other article links to it. When and if Scotland does enter the competition, the article could be spun off again. I hope you don't mind but I'm going to go ahead and delete the redirect and its talk page.

Thank you for your comments in my RFB. Since it was only at 64%, it was a shoo-in to be unsuccessful, so I withdrew. I didn't want it to run until its scheduled close time because my intent in standing for RFB was to help the bureaucrats with their workload, not give them one more RfX to close. Through the course of my RFB, I received some very valuable feedback, some of it was contradictary, but other points were well agreed upon. I have ceased my admin coaching for now to give me time to revamp my method. I don't want to give up coaching completely, but I'm going to find a different angle from which to approach it. As for my RFA Standards, I am going to do some deep intraspection. I wrote those standards six months ago and I will slowly retool them. This will take some time for me to really dig down and express what I want in an admin candidate. If, after some serious time of deep thought, I don't find anything to change in them, I'll leave them the way they are. I'm not going to change them just because of some community disagreement as to what they should be. Will I stand for RFB again in the future? I don't know. Perhaps some time down the road, when my tenure as an administrator is greater than one year, if there is a pressing need for more active bureaucrats, maybe. If there no pressing need, then maybe not. Useight ( talk) 03:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

A catalogue of user warnings can be found at Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace, with different levels for every warning type. An example of escalating warnings is with warning a user about making vandalism edits....
When a user does an inappropriate action, another user will warn them usually starting at a level 1 warning. If the user ignores this warning then a new warning is given at the next level up (such as level 2), and the warnings will continue escalating if a user does not stop. For administrators to justify a block, a recent level 3 or level 4 warning will need to have been given. Hope that helps you understand. Camaron | Chris (talk) 20:05, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
Re: this Nowhere near the 3rr, the template instructs discussion, which was going on above where you put the template (you thus killed the discussion) and my last edit was 4 hours before you templated me. All in all, a very bad bit of templating. Please be more careful in future, even when dealing with IP editors. Thank you. 91.85.188.90 ( talk) 07:39, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. Just to let you know that this user's talk page is regularly being vandalised by an anon user. Whilst the IIP addresses change, it's very obviously the same immature person who was vandalising his user page. I don't know if it's appropriate for me to request page protection for a talk page, especially when it isn't mine, so I thought I'd raise it here first. Ged ( talk) 16:19, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{ motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.
When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.
If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ( t/ a/ c) 01:56, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your support on my RFA! I appreciate the feedback, even though it was unsuccessful. Thank you for your kind words about my civility and template experience! I hope to see you around Wikipedia, and I wish you the best!-- daniel folsom 03:12, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I am akhamenehpour, and I wanted to apologize for my poor behavior last night. Where I live, which is Piedmont, Ca, it was after 2 AM, and I was having a very bad week. I know that that is not an excuse for my mistakes, but I just wanted to ask you to forgive me. I now understand not to vandalize Wikipedia as I did to Piedmont + Piedmont, Ca, but I really wasn't doing it to vandalize Wikipedia, it was because I was having problems with the city and school administrations, and I saw this as a way of getting back at them. I know no that I shouldn't have done it. Chris, if I wanted to continue vandalizing, I wouldn't be writing this right now, I could have created another account to vandalize with. Besides, if I was really a vandal, I wouldn't have only been dealing with Piedmont, Ca and Piedmont High School. If you look at my edits before that, some were very productive, including one on the discography of Hassan Shamaizadeh. Please give me another chance. Block me for a week, two weeks, a month, but not indefinitely. You can always track changes I made and easily block me again. I am sorry and understand that last night I acted childish and immature and I shouldn't have unloaded my tensions and anger onto you. Even if you decide not to unblock me, please forgive me in your heart, as that is what counts. PS, I want to admit that last night I mad akhamenehpour1 and akhamenehpour2 mostly for vandalism. You can delete them now, as I don't need them and aren't going to use them. I also apologize for some of my vandalism on Alameda County and Piedmont Unified School District, last night.

I was just adding extra comments to the AfD and conflicted with your Keep, which is okay by me. I think the Keep may have been premature, since it was a consensus of only one editor and the COI creator of the page, but there wasn't a whole lot of discussion and time had expired, so no harm/no foul. The cites/refs added were weak and I have added my review of those on the article talk page. I suppose someone else might renom it for AfD, if it's decided that WP:N hasn't been sufficiently met. I'll leave it as it is for now as I was unable to find and add any reliable, verifiable sources to support the claims made. Other editors can review at their leisure.

Hi there, wonder if you wouldn't mind giving a bit of assistance. There's an AfD going on for a middle school in Bedfordshire which is deemed secondary by the local authority. Looking at the proposed WP Schools Article guidelines, it falls in both the proposed notable and non notable camps. So as one of the two participants listed on the page (and the only UK based one!), I was wondering if you would clarify where a school like this one would stand. I should point out that I haven't given a 'keep' or 'delete' at the AfD, I was just wondering as there seems to be a few schools with thier own article listed at Middle Schools in England.

I wanted to personally thank you, Camaron, for your support in my recent RfB. I am thankful and appreciative that you feel that I am worthy of the trust the community requires of its bureaucrats, and I am especially thankful that you took the time to enunciate that clearly during the discussion; I hope to continue to behave in a way that maintains your trust in me and my actions. I have heard the community's voice that they require more of a presence at RfA's of prospective bureaucrats, and I will do my best over the near future to demonstrate such a presence and allow the community to see my philosophy and practices in action. I hope I can continue to count on your support when I decide to once again undergo an RfB. If you have any suggestions, comments, or constructive criticisms, please let me know via talkpage or e-mail. Thank you again. -- Avi ( talk) 16:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
My "Adopter"" Fabrictramp has given me a challenge, to work on Michael Thomas Ford and clean the article up. Can you let me know how I'm doing so far. Fabrictramp is offline right now and you're the first person I thought of. Dusti talk to me 20:02, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
This isn't directed at you personally, but it's time to vent about an absurd system: Wiki seems to have some incredibly weak standards about what is sufficient for indefinite semi-protection that only encourage vandalism and discourage constructive editing or editors. When almost all of the activity on a page is anon IP vandalism and reverting it (daily) one is left to ask: is there any purpose in allowing such editing on that particular page? Seems like a waste of resources for zero gain and intended to frustrate constructive editors.
I selected this one as a test to see how/if the system worked. What I have learned is that Wikipedia has little interest in aiding editors in preventing vandals in an intelligent manner. Instead the system is turned on its head: Make it easy for the vandals, hard for the editors and those who actually take the time to report it. It's not worth our time to even revert the vandalism. When I check the talk pages of the vandal IP's they often have a number of low level warnings with no teeth and no consequences--especially when you see several back-to-back final warnings. It's an ornate system that isn't used to any advantage that I can see. At any rate, I've learned what I needed to know: I'm not going to bother doing reverts, warnings, and requests for protection anymore as they are so transitory as to be useless.

Hi, I think we have another sock puppet for User the fence User:Teethmany. His only contribution is to vandalize the same article Cave Clan and direct the vandalism towards me. Would it be possible for this account to be blocked as well . --User:Adam.J.W.C. (talk) ( talk) 06:50, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
I have one small issue concerning the Cave Clan article. It was a small list of explorable sites that I added. This list was constantly being blanked out by sock or Ip addresses. When the article was protected it was protected after an Ip address came along and removed content. I was wondering if some of the content can be added back. The only thing that I am interested in restoring is the list of explorable sites. The articles in the list are relevant to the topic of Urban Exploration, and this is where the mob in question take people on guided tours. The list is on the talk page for that article along with pictures of the sites with captions that might give some explanation as to why the articles are related. If the list was reinserted I think the appropriate header would be either, 'sites of urban exploration in Sydney' or something along those lines.
Also I wrote those articles and I also went to all the sites in question and took pictures which can be viewed in each article. Anyone that had a strong interest in urban exploration and the content of the Cave Clan article, would appreciate being lead to those articles. Cheers . --User:Adam.J.W.C.

(unindent)Regardless of the fact that your post to the wikiproject doesn't violate the letter of WP:CANVAS it still goes against the spirit of that page when you are edit warring with someone and the number of revisions have exceeded the double digits and you make a post to a wikiproject requesting folks that would most likely agree with you to come to the article. The however the source didn't really support your claims anyway as the source said that Mingrelians consider themselves Georgians whereas the article is claiming that Mingrelians are a sub-group of Georgians. That's not the same thing. Pocopocopocopoco ( talk) 04:18, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
I have to agree that it is probably best if you continue to discuss content related issues on the article talk page. It will help your case as well if you try and stay within WP:3RR, and try and discuss the topic not each other. As for the canvassing issue, I agree with being careful, but canvassing relevant WikiProjects in a neutral manner is not normally considered a bad thing - even if it was against policy it is not a serious enough issue to take administrative action over.

At Sean Hannity, the history is that Hannity supporters have no quality sources to cite that reviews his books favorably because they do not exist. So they dislike that and want to remove the negative reviews. Sorry, but a book that only receives negative reviews is just that. They then gripe to a sysop, who drives by and locks the page. Hannity supporters then have a month to find the positive reviews, and discover they don't exist. Then those people go on to other things, a period goes by, and new Hannity supporters come along, and then the same thing starts all over again. That's just stupid and you played right into it.

Excellent block on that IP, definitely looks to be the same user. Dreadstar † 22:28, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey Camaron, I blocked the IP for 55 hours with a warning. I'll keep my eyes peeled, let me know if I miss something. You're right to step away from conflicts in which you're personally involved. Good luck with your exams, I think I remember when I was going through the same thing... take it easy if you can! The Rambling Man ( talk) 17:37, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello, do you believe the placement of a vandalism report by User:Appletrees was disruptive? I do, but I didn't see any repercussions against this editor, who is habitually incivil and an inveterate blanker of others' text. Badagnani ( talk) 19:00, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello, Chris.
I wanted to personally thank you for taking part in the project-wide discussions regarding my candidacy for bureaucratship. After bureaucratic discussion, the bureaucrats decided that there was sufficient significant and varied opposition to my candidacy, and thus no consensus to promote. Although personally disappointed, I both understand and respect their decision, especially in light of historical conservatism the project has had when selecting its bureaucrats. If you have any further suggestions or comments as to how you think I could help the project, please let me know. Once again, thank you for your both your early and strong support -- Avi ( talk) 16:30, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
User:Appletrees is persistently accusing me of "making personal attacks" just as he did against User:Badagnani, but now he's claiming that my personal page is "directed at him." He tells me that his "Watchlist" is clearly proof that I am editing articles "directed at him," but I can state categorically that I have never read or seen his Watchlist--I simply don't care. Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated. - WikiSkeptic ( talk) 17:48, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Due to popular demand, HAU has a new look. Since the changes are so dramatic, I may have made some mistakes when translating the data. Please take a look at WP:HAU/EU and make sure your checkmarks are in the right place and feel free to add or remove some. There is a new feature, SoxBot V, a recently approved bot, automatically updates your online/offline status based on the length of time since your last edit. To allow SoxBot V to do this, you'll need to copy [[Category:Wikipedians who use StatusBot]] to your userpage. Obviously you are not required to add this to your userpage, however, without this, your status will always be "offline" at HAU. Thanks. Useight ( talk) 17:14, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed you reduced the protection time on the Solar energy page. Check out the comments by the IP who requested the reduction on the Solar energy talk page. The page was protected in part because the IP is forking a large chunk of the page. I am the principle author of the page and I would like to see it stay together. I've asked for a peer review from the Energy group and the general Wiki community. The suggestions have been helpful and after they are incorporated I'll hopefully get the A-Team or the League to copy edit. I hope you consider raising the protection time to a month. This should give the page enough stability to get through the PR and onto a group copy edit. Thank you. Mrshaba ( talk) 04:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
I would just like to say thanks for the neutral vote in my recent RFA. I will still say thanks as from your comments and the other users comments that opposed me and gave me a neutral vote have made me make a todo list for before my next RFA. I hope I will have resolved all of the issues before then and I hope that you would be able to support me in the future.

Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight ( talk) 22:20, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for transferring the rest of that article's history. There's just one minor quibble though, as the AfD closure also dictated deletion (rather than redirection) of the Scotland article. While redirects are cheap, "Scotland in the Eurovision Song Contest" is a very unlikely search term and no other article links to it. When and if Scotland does enter the competition, the article could be spun off again. I hope you don't mind but I'm going to go ahead and delete the redirect and its talk page.

Please see talk page of Shawnigan Lake School. I discovered that the History section was a near word-for-word plagiarism of http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/cgi-bin/text2html/finding/government/.ms_finding//MS-1485.txt and this needs to cited correctly. It is cited in-text once, but that is it.

Why withdraw the part of spokepersons and commentators on the page of the Eurovision Song Contest 2008, as if in the pages of the editions of the other years because there would be in this be? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.84.129.149 ( talk) 21:38, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments in my RFB. Since it was only at 64%, it was a shoo-in to be unsuccessful, so I withdrew. I didn't want it to run until its scheduled close time because my intent in standing for RFB was to help the bureaucrats with their workload, not give them one more RfX to close. Through the course of my RFB, I received some very valuable feedback, some of it was contradictary, but other points were well agreed upon. I have ceased my admin coaching for now to give me time to revamp my method. I don't want to give up coaching completely, but I'm going to find a different angle from which to approach it. As for my RFA Standards, I am going to do some deep intraspection. I wrote those standards six months ago and I will slowly retool them. This will take some time for me to really dig down and express what I want in an admin candidate. If, after some serious time of deep thought, I don't find anything to change in them, I'll leave them the way they are. I'm not going to change them just because of some community disagreement as to what they should be. Will I stand for RFB again in the future? I don't know. Perhaps some time down the road, when my tenure as an administrator is greater than one year, if there is a pressing need for more active bureaucrats, maybe. If there no pressing need, then maybe not. Useight ( talk) 03:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello Camaron, I'm new here in english-speaking wikipedia. Can you tell me what a "Level 1 Warning" is? Greetings, Pink Evolution ( talk) 19:52, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
A catalogue of user warnings can be found at Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace, with different levels for every warning type. An example of escalating warnings is with warning a user about making vandalism edits....
When a user does an inappropriate action, another user will warn them usually starting at a level 1 warning. If the user ignores this warning then a new warning is given at the next level up (such as level 2), and the warnings will continue escalating if a user does not stop. For administrators to justify a block, a recent level 3 or level 4 warning will need to have been given. Hope that helps you understand. Camaron | Chris (talk) 20:05, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
Re: this Nowhere near the 3rr, the template instructs discussion, which was going on above where you put the template (you thus killed the discussion) and my last edit was 4 hours before you templated me. All in all, a very bad bit of templating. Please be more careful in future, even when dealing with IP editors. Thank you. 91.85.188.90 ( talk) 07:39, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. Just to let you know that this user's talk page is regularly being vandalised by an anon user. Whilst the IIP addresses change, it's very obviously the same immature person who was vandalising his user page. I don't know if it's appropriate for me to request page protection for a talk page, especially when it isn't mine, so I thought I'd raise it here first. Ged ( talk) 16:19, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Really? Where they recently moved or something? Because when I went to add the template to Wikipedia:WikiProject Eurovision/Completed Phase 4 Pages they were all named the way that I moved it too.

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{ motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.
When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.
If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ( t/ a/ c) 01:56, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
