Nope, no errors. It's not working on Explorer of Safari either. Here's a screenshot of the delete page as I see it. As you can see, the dropdown box defaults to "other reason" and the content of the article is left in the box.

My request that people stop talking about this dispute somewhere else is not about badsites, but rather about attempting to solve a dispute between a bunch of users who all are helpful to the encyclopedia. Posting there inflames the dispute. Thus, an easy solution is to stop posting there, right? PouponOnToast ( talk) 19:19, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I am not very sure why the Mozilla Firefox page has been locked. Firefox 3 stable release is available for download, i am not sure why there are disputes. If you check the Download Day 2008 page, it is busy because of the many people downloading the software. The lock on the page is misleading people. The statement below all pages states " Encyclopedic content must be verifiable" the fact that Mozilla Firefox is not ready for download is not true and doesn't follow the trend of Wikipedia. An encyclopedia is to be accurate, i may be making a big deal of this issue, but i am bringing up a point. Editors should be able to add verifiable content.

Hi Random, what is the deal with this? From what I've read, I like it - if I understand, when people edit my talk page I can show them a notice on my strong preference to keep threads where they originally started. (Or I could say "poopoo", a longstanding wiki-ambition of mine :).
So what is the procedure to set up my own MediaWiki:Editnotice-3-Franamax? Make a sandbox page and ask a random admin? And is there a centralized page on this that I should be reading? Thanks for your help! Franamax ( talk) 06:57, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

I am, in fact, working on a system of queued deletion. However, I do wish you would have investigated it a bit further. It is not about "turning AfD into a straight vote", it's about automating the deletion process.

Thanks for uploading
Image:Monster energy display.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 05:09, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
I uploaded as a refurnishing of my PNG logo, and I don't know any Wikimedia Commons admins, so, could you please tag it for deletion? It does not show on either Commons or 'Pedia.

You seem to have completely misunderstood. When Jimbo stepped aside he specifically said it should not be taken as either pro or against unbanning. There is no reason it should lead to an automatic unban. If it wasn't for Thatcher, Damian would still be banned.

I'm surprised they made it five days without people telling them how "useless" they are, with the amount of negativity that was aimed at ArbCom previously. (you're not even the first one, White Cat had you beat earlier today). How about actually, you know, giving them a chance? Not saying if I think their decision was right, but come on, the only remedy that was left after this decision was "Everyking will not interact with or comment about Snowspinner." if that's a sticking point for EK, I really question what EK would do if this was lifted. So, let's mark it closed, and let old, hard feelings die. SirFozzie ( talk) 17:45, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
At Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_46#Custom_edit_messages, you said, "I've worked out a system for allowing a non-admin to maintain the editnotice without requiring a protected edit request every time and without allowing anyone else to edit it." Apparently that didn't happen; when not logged in, I had no trouble editing User:Dank55/Editnotice, even though User:Dank55/Editnotice.css says "off". Is there a way to stop others from editing User:Dank55/Editnotice and User_talk:Dank55/Editnotice by fiddling with .css or .js files, without protecting the pages? Tra's comments at Wikipedia:VPT#Editnotice may be helpful. (Watchlisting) - Dan Dank55 ( send/receive) 03:00, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm surprised they made it five days without people telling them how "useless" they are, with the amount of negativity that was aimed at ArbCom previously. (you're not even the first one, White Cat had you beat earlier today). How about actually, you know, giving them a chance? Not saying if I think their decision was right, but come on, the only remedy that was left after this decision was "Everyking will not interact with or comment about Snowspinner." if that's a sticking point for EK, I really question what EK would do if this was lifted. So, let's mark it closed, and let old, hard feelings die. SirFozzie ( talk) 17:45, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
At Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_46#Custom_edit_messages, you said, "I've worked out a system for allowing a non-admin to maintain the editnotice without requiring a protected edit request every time and without allowing anyone else to edit it." Apparently that didn't happen; when not logged in, I had no trouble editing User:Dank55/Editnotice, even though User:Dank55/Editnotice.css says "off". Is there a way to stop others from editing User:Dank55/Editnotice and User_talk:Dank55/Editnotice by fiddling with .css or .js files, without protecting the pages? Tra's comments at Wikipedia:VPT#Editnotice may be helpful. (Watchlisting) - Dan Dank55 ( send/receive) 03:00, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
