Just thought I'd let you know that the RfA voters! vote counter is now completely broken after not working from the X!-tools navigation menu. Are you intending to fix this or shall we find another user with a toolserver account to rewrite a tool for this? -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 13:01, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

New Orleans Wikimedia Hackathon | ||
---|---|---|
![]() At the event, MediaWiki developers and Wikimedia operations engineers will be working on Wikimedia's gadgets/extensions/tools support, authorization/authentication strategy, dev-ops virtualization, and general training and hacking. And we'll improve and discuss the Wikimedia Labs projects infrastructure and other stuff that makes it easier for anyone to supercharge Wikimedia with awesomeness. The event is open to anyone who wants to come and contribute, and is an opportunity to spend time with senior MediaWiki developers & ops engineers, write beautiful code, and learn about the latest developments. We'll write code together, discuss the software, and hold little workshops. If you can make it to New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, 14-16 October 2011, we'd love to have you. Please add your name to the attendees list. Thanks! Sumanah ( talk) 20:23, 24 August 2011 (UTC) (Volunteer Development Coordinator, Wikimedia Foundation) |

Do you know why http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/rangecontribs/index.php is not working? It's a real problem, as I found the tool indispensable for checking whether a range block was suitable, and if so for how long. JamesBWatson ( talk) 11:01, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
For the people still following this thread, I've spent the past few days cobbling together a script to do what the rangecontribs tool did. I think it works, but I need you guys to test it a bit. If you want it's up at http://toolserver.org/~helloannyong/range/ and you can report any issues with it to me. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 02:51, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on File:43nuqugwso9a.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Greetings,
My name is John-Paul and I am a student with the University of Alberta specializing in Communications and Technology.
I would like to include your Wikipedia user page in a study I am doing about how people present themselves online. I am interested in whether people see themselves in different ways, online and offline. One of the things I am looking at is how contributors to Wikipedia present themselves to each other through their user pages. Would you consider letting me include your user page in my study?
With your consent, I will read and analyze your user page, and ask you five short questions about it that will take about ten to fifteen minutes to answer. I am looking at about twenty user pages belonging to twenty different people. I will be looking at all user pages together, looking for common threads in the way people introduce themselves to other Wikipedians.
I hope that my research will help answer questions about how people collaborate, work together, and share knowledge. If you are open to participating in this study, please reply to this message, on your User Talk page or on mine. I will provide you with a complete description of my research, which you can use to decide if you want to participate.
Thank-you,
John-Paul Mcvea

Hello. I was looking at one of your bots (SoxBot III) and noticed that it had not edited since 2009, but I think that this is a brilliant idea. I think that you should get the bot running again, and if you don't want it yourself I would be happy to take over the running myself. There are a lot of new editors, particularly IPs, who just mess around clicking buttons and saving and this needs to be reverted. So can you get back to me please?
