DYKcheck says Poppyseed oil has 7941 bytes of prose. Prosesizebytes says 8060. I thought they were supposed to be the same. Art LaPella ( talk) 21:29, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
Unable to resist bacon's temptations, rogue editors have kicked off the Bacon Challenge 2010 before the New Year even starts! This is a fun and collegial event and all are welcome. There are many non-pork articles for editors who enjoy some sizzle, but object to or don't like messing with pig products. This year's event also includes a Bacon WikiCup 2010 for those who may want to keep score and enjoy engaging in friendly competition. Given the critical importance of this subject matter, I know you will want to participate, so remember to sign up today and get started A.S.A.P. ALL ARE WELCOME!!! The more the merrier.

Hi Shubinator, I have seen you had some problems with isRedirect() of JWBF? What did you changed ? Eldurloki —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.171.17.168 ( talk) 18:28, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi Eldurloki,
I just looked at the JWBF code
here, and I don't think .matches() is the method you want; .find() would be more appropriate. I try to stay away from regex if I can; I used
if (article.getText().toLowerCase().indexOf("#redirect") != -1) { // if the article is a redirect
where article is a SimpleArticle. I don't think regex helps here since "#redirect" has to be one string; if there's a space between the "#" and the "redirect", the redirect breaks and it turns into a numbered list. Hope this helps, Shubinator ( talk) 05:42, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
I found the official source for that information (as opposed to Wiki sourcing). Kevin Rutherford ( talk) 21:59, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Wow what a clever bot the DYK talk page bot is. You must be very proud. Well done Victuallers ( talk) 11:19, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
The DYK talk page bot added a line of irrelevant info (about a video game) to Talk:Florence Jaffray Harriman. I can delete the information, but in case it's symptomatic of a broader glitch I thought I'd bring it to your attention and leave it as is for a day or so.

Hey Shubs, JamieS93 and I have both talked about nominating you for RfA, and she said you were interested but would be away after December 27. So I guess we wouldn't be able start anything until after then (I meant to contact you earlier so we could finish before the 27th, but you know how things get this time of year....), but I just wanted to check and see if you would still like to start an RfA sometime after you get back. If you're up for it, I could start the RfA page now so you could answer questions 1-3 at your leisure, and Jamie and I can prepare our nom statements; then we could transclude and start it once you get back. rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 15:41, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! Happy holidays to you as well. Shubinator ( talk) 15:45, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for updating the userbox. However, I've just decided to set it to when she retired so I don't have to keep updating the damn thing. DX -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 21:54, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Do you mind if I implement it tomorrow? Shubinator ( talk) 01:47, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
As a courtesy, this just to say I've removed your message from my page as I had nothing to do with the creation of the Roch page and little more with its editing apart from tweaks. But thanks for letting me know. Regards, Ericoides ( talk) 17:41, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Congratulations on your RfA passing! Here are some useful links for you:
If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line and I (or another experienced admin) will be more than happy to help you out.
Congrats again! EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:19, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Heya! Try not to use {{ uw-ublock}} on editors unless it really is just their username that is problematic. For example, User talk:GenovaDiagnostics isn't just a username issue; it's a conflict of interest issue, as shown by looking at their contributions. Just changing the name of the account won't suffice. {{ uw-spamublock}} is more appropriate, and is less likely to confuse the user. (And congrats on your adminship! -- jpgordon ::==( o ) 01:18, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
{{
usernameblock}}
. The blocking admin sometimes uses {{
spamusernameblock}}
, but didn't for Genova, so I applied {{
usernameblock}}
. I'll keep it in mind for later though, thanks!
Shubinator (
talk) 01:23, 31 December 2009 (UTC)on becoming an admin. the diff you presented was the diff i had in mind. thanks for that, i guess. i was dissapointed how you went awol once gatoclass stuck his nose into the picture, despite the fact that you approved it initially. There was something else, that i just remembered. Here was another incident in which gatoclass yanked an already approved Judaism-related article from the queue. Your coming to his defense was in poor judgement, imo. in any case, you don't have to deal with it now. a vast majority of editors apparently have confidence in your judgment, so i may be wrong. i hope there are no hard-feelings, but i guess i would understand if there was. i guess i can't be surprised if i soon find myself blocked by you :) Good luck, -- brew crewer (yada, yada) 06:45, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
