Whacking with a wet trout or trouting is a common practice on Wikipedia when experienced editors slip up and make a silly mistake. It, along with
sentencing to the village stocks, is used to resolve one-off instances of seemingly silly behavior amongst normally constructive community members, as opposed to long term patterns of
disruptive edits, which earn
warnings and
blocks.

Please do not use misleading edit summaries like this when making a potentially controversial change. The edit you made there was not a "fix" in any sense of the word; what you were doing was taking a widely-used redirect and changing it to point not to where it was intended to point in the hundreds of discussions where it has been used, but to a new and little-known page that you yourself are heavily involved in. Such a change should be discussed before being implemented, and it certainly should not be hidden behind a misleading edit summary. rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 04:52, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi IBen. I have deleted the subpages that you asked to be deleted. I have had to make alterations to User talk:IBen/Archive 4, User:IBen/beta, User:IBen/beta, User:ClueBot III/Detailed Indices/User talk:IBen/Archive 3 and User:iBen/UserPageCode as these pages were erroneously being listed at Category:Candidates for speedy deletion.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Best wishes, Rje ( talk) 02:39, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

I love to work with new users; they have so much potential! I know how it feels to be a newbie in the ever so confusing Wikipedia.

Lets start with something simple, responses from other editor on what might be hot button issues if escalate. You try to make drastic changes to an article or template that you believe can help greatly, it gets removed several times, and you're instructed to "take it to discussion". You try to start a discussion in the corresponding article and project talk pages. Yet you get no response. What can be done, and does a sudden silence from other opposing parties always symbolize a consensus on your polite argument on said issue? Sarujo ( talk) 02:05, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for notification of your speedy delete nomination. He is obscure, I agree. But notability rules allow any Olympic team member to have an article. On the other hand, someone could be a fairly well known professor but editors might have a hard time convincing WP of notability. The criteria is uneven. Are you interested in working with me to even it out? This would be a hard task but not impossible. Suomi Finland 2009 ( talk) 16:01, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey, iBen, I came by this and thought I should add my two cents. My take on this situation is that yes, you templated the regular. To be frank, if I were templated, it would feel like a slap in the face, especially after donating my free time to further an encyclopedia. Even if you do not intend it, templating, in Fetchcomms's words, makes the user look like they "have no clue" what they are doing. Even if you mean well, your actions might be taken the wrong way. Please consider this next time, and give new articles some breathing room. It would be great if you could write another script that patrolled pages from the back of the backlog ;).

Hi Mono! Thank you for signing up to be a future host at the Teahouse. Well, great news - the future is here, we'd love you to be a Teahouse host! During this pilot time, Teahouse hosts do more than just ask questions - they invite new users to the Teahouse and track those invitations, they also provide input and insight into the development of the Teahouse. A few things I'd love to see you do as a Teahouse host:
I'm so happy that you volunteered to lend a hand at the Teahouse. I look forward to following your contributions and invitations, and your assistance in making the Teahouse a great and warm place for new Wikipedians. See you there :) Sarah ( talk) 21:49, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June. Registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form.
This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets ( extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.
We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!
I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.
Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.
Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page, here or at mediawiki.org. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 20:22, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia's list of user scripts is in bad shape, in that it is disorganized and contains many non-working, unmaintained, or thoroughly obsolete entries. Cleanup has been on the to-do list since 2007, but little progress has been made. Instead, the whole list is now set to be deprecated on 1 May 2012, to be replaced with a new list. This draft list has been up for about a month, and in that time I've been soliciting script users and authors to come add scripts they know to be working and relevant.
If you know of scripts that you would like to survive this deprecation (and are confirmed working and relevant), you're welcome to add them to the new list. Note that the old list will be retained and linked from the main list, so there is no real deadline. Thanks for your help. Equazcion (talk) 00:56, 22 Apr 2012 (UTC)
Hi Mono! I hope you are doing well! I really appreciate your contributions at the Teahouse. However, it appears you haven't been able to be that active at the Teahouse lately! I understand that we all get busy with real life and wiki-life. :) I hope you don't mind, but, for now I am going to remove you from the your hosts page and move you to our past hosts page which will be linked from the hosts page. You are of course encouraged to move yourself back to the active host page anytime, especially if I am wrong and you do expect to be more active at the Teahouse! You are always welcome to just drop by to lend a hand at your convenience. I'm really glad you were able to participate in the pilot! Enjoy the spring and see you for a cup of tea soon!

The article Ricky Harris has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets ( extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.
We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!
I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.
Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.
Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page, here or at mediawiki.org. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 20:22, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Two of your edits ( 1 2) appear to use an automated tool to find and replace '#' with '*'. This was done indecriminatly and broke the CSS code that was used. Please be more careful when using such tools in the future. – Allen4 names 17:19, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
Hey Mono
You've got a userbox that says "I do some stuff for the Wikimedia Foundation. Edits here are not related unless noted." Can you explain what this entails, exactly? Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 04:54, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Mono, just pinging you from the land of the Teahouse to say hi and that we haven't seen you for a while! We'd still love to have you participate as a host, but I also understand that we (Wikipedians!) do get busy sometimes with other things, on and off-wiki. If you'd like to still participate, great! We'd love your help answering questions and inviting editors to the Teahouse. If you don't think you have the time to participate right now, no problem, just please let me know! Thanks Mono!

Wikipedia's list of user scripts is in bad shape, in that it is disorganized and contains many non-working, unmaintained, or thoroughly obsolete entries. Cleanup has been on the to-do list since 2007, but little progress has been made. Instead, the whole list is now set to be deprecated on 1 May 2012, to be replaced with a new list. This draft list has been up for about a month, and in that time I've been soliciting script users and authors to come add scripts they know to be working and relevant.
If you know of scripts that you would like to survive this deprecation (and are confirmed working and relevant), you're welcome to add them to the new list. Note that the old list will be retained and linked from the main list, so there is no real deadline. Thanks for your help. Equazcion (talk) 00:56, 22 Apr 2012 (UTC)
Hi Mono! I hope you are doing well! I really appreciate your contributions at the Teahouse. However, it appears you haven't been able to be that active at the Teahouse lately! I understand that we all get busy with real life and wiki-life. :) I hope you don't mind, but, for now I am going to remove you from the your hosts page and move you to our past hosts page which will be linked from the hosts page. You are of course encouraged to move yourself back to the active host page anytime, especially if I am wrong and you do expect to be more active at the Teahouse! You are always welcome to just drop by to lend a hand at your convenience. I'm really glad you were able to participate in the pilot! Enjoy the spring and see you for a cup of tea soon!

Hey, I have removed your 'Autopatrolled' user box from your talk and user page because it doesn't state you have this on the 'verify' link. Cheers -- Chip123456 ( talk) 19:42, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

The article Ricky Harris has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
