Small request

Hello Andrevan, I noticed you handled the recent promotion of Alex.muller. I was wondering, when you are about to promote someone to sysop, and they have rollback rights, would you mind removing the rollback flag when adding the admin one? It's just that users don't need both the rollback and sysop flags. Thanks. Acalamari 19:20, 26 February 2008 (UTC) reply

Well, you don't have to if you don't want to, but it prevents other users from removing the right instead. Acalamari 19:29, 26 February 2008 (UTC) reply

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, and have salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).

Well also make preparations for our exciting Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, a free content photography contest for Columbia University students planned for Friday March 28 (about 2 weeks after our meeting).

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

You're also invited to subscribe to the public Wikimedia New York City mailing list, which is a great way to receive timely updates.

March 2008

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to Astrobotic Technology. Thank you. This is especially true when modifying references. E_dog95' Hi ' 18:38, 22 March 2008 (UTC) reply

Sure it is...

The comment is a friendly reminder. Sometimes we need those. Take care... E_dog95' Hi ' 18:56, 22 March 2008 (UTC) reply

Your comments on my talk page show verify that you're not working with others as well as you should. Your revert also proves this. If you want your change on the Astrobotic Technology to stick, you shouldn't simply revert it; you should make the modification and add the appropriate edit summary. E_dog95' Hi ' 19:56, 22 March 2008 (UTC) reply
What is it that ur changing with the article? Can u please leave an edit summary saying what (and why) you've changed it? Before you revert again, just consider not using the undo button. Make the change and leave an edit summary. Your actions here show a lack of willingness to work together. That is simply all I'm trying to do here. No malice intended.

Once more: when reverting my last edit to Astrobotic Technology do not use the undo button. That would leave less room for you to clearly say why you've removed a reference and provided another. Please!

E_dog95' Hi ' 20:02, 22 March 2008 (UTC) reply

Poor leaership

It took you more than an hour to finally say what you're intentions were with that simple edit. During that hour, you accused me of vandalism, threatened me with blocking, and generally showed poor conduct when collaborating with others. I do not respect your ways, nor your ability as an editor on this collaboration-based encyclopedia. E_dog95' Hi ' 20:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC) reply

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made to User talk:E dog95 has been reverted or removed because it was a misuse of a warning or blocking template. Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thank you. E_dog95' Hi ' 20:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC) reply

You're right

I should have contacted you on your talk page regarding the edit. That would have been a better way to get an answer.

Having said that, editors should not have to contact or research other editors changes. That's what the edit summary is for. Please read this, as it is the guide by which my comments have been based.

I want to reiterate that my actions today were without malice. I just took the wrong route to prove a point. We need to work together, especially on the upcoming Google Lunar X Prize articles. Cheers man. E_dog95' Hi ' 04:30, 23 March 2008 (UTC) reply
