Barnstar Star | |
For creating the {{ AFC Barnstar}} last month. Thank you. davidwr/( talk)/( contribs)/( e-mail) 01:44, 5 August 2007 (UTC) |
Aww, thanks! Hersfold ( talk/ work) 20:24, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
We are nine days away from the end of the drive, and it's been fantastic! Many, many, many days of backlog have been tackled, and over 1500 articles reviewed!
To start off, a HUGE THANKS to everyone who helped out with the coordination of the drive, and actually fighting the backlog in the drive itself. Everyone's done a great job helping out, no matter how many articles you've reviewed/
Remember to update your running total, on the drive page. This is the ONLY way that I will be able to give out awards appropriately.
Lastly, I will be giving out awards on August 16th. Anyone who could help me, that would be fantastic. Contact me on my talk page if you'd like to volunteer.
Great job, everyone! This Drive has been fantastic, and I'm sure that some members of the Project have definitely made friends by collaborating on the talk pages. Thanks,
GrooveDog.

Can you create a Barnstar of Peace using the U.N. flag? If not, it's ok. -- Defender 911 ( Leave a message!) 23:25, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. Just noticed in a comment you put on one of the mottos you were trying to remember an incident about an editor faking his credentials. I'm suspect you were thinking of the Essjay controversy, am I right? Confusing Manifestation 07:03, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, we keep TOR proxies hard blocked because otherwise it is too easy for sockpuppeteers to use the addresses to bypass the block. They also tend to be used for vandalism, but the hard block part is because of sockpuppeteers. This leaves people in China with basically no options to edit the Wikipedia. This is a known problem but essentially the problem lies with the Chinese government who have banned Wikipedia, I understand. -- Yamla 15:10, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Groovedog! I'll look forward to it. :-)
As a note, davidwr already gave me one of the Barnstars. I know I don't get it twice, so I'll replace his version with yours (as it's probably more "official"). Thanks for organizing all this, we really needed it! See your talk page for an award.

I was a bit over-optemistic, and tried to create Template:Lamu Archipelago. I turns out it is far more complicated than I thought. Basically, I´m trying to get what is in the "overview"-section in the different articles in Lamu Archipelago-series into *one* template, so the user can easily navigate between the different places. Can you help me? Regards, Huldra 14:12, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
ok, well i'm not sure exactly how to send or leave you messages but i hope this works...
you said posting an auto-biography is a bad idea, but if you search for Jeffree Star... what exactly would u classify that as?
-- Keith McKenna 02:13, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
ok, well i read the part where you said I can request a page be written about me..??
well who would want to write about me, i'm not famous or anything... so how would that work?
-- Keith McKenna 02:29, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Hahaha, nope... I don't meet any of those standards...
to be quite honest with you what i'm trying to do is the whole "do-it-yourself" get famous (off the internet) type thing...
not sure if you know or not but SOOOO many people have been becoming famous by doing it themselves with either the help of youtube, or myspace... I have a myspace... but i've been slaving over trying to become at least "KNOWN" using something (anything!) =]
it's hard... and i'm still baffled at how others are doing it... so, that's the reason i wanted to make a auto-biography about myself.
any suggestions??

Oh, so when I create Croatdom it's deleted, but when I delete Croatization you attack me? Do yu height me just because Im Croat. Is IT SO MUCH HARD to yu that I am of croat ethnicity? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by UstashkiDom ( talk • contribs) 19:43, August 23, 2007 (UTC).
By the way how you notify Mr. 212 to the administrators. Did you e-mail the school staff and school administrators to watch his contributions. I thought you are the administrators. You also tell him not to write insults on his talk page. I didn't see him write any insults on talk pages, but I saw him wrote alot of insults on article pages. I saw him write sorry but I don't think he is really sorry. He just insist on vandalising and do not take Wikipedia as a serious effect. Who is watching that IP? The school staff?

Is there an administrator out there who can (a) answer my questions and (b) act upon my questions? Please advise. Thanks. See this page:
Template:Age … it has a "high-risk template protection" banner at the top. See this page:
Template:Age in years and days … it does not have a "high-risk template protection" banner at the top. Why is that? Is there some valid distinction between these two pages / templates, such that one carries the banner and one does not? If so, what is the distinction? If not, can an administrator either (a) remove the banner from the first template; or (b) add the banner to the second template (whichever is more appropriate)? Thanks. (
