What is the template you are using to welcome users? I'm interested to use that template as well with my current template, {{Subst:w-graphical}}. Thanks, SwisterTwister talk 05:38, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

This is to acknowledge the friendly, collaborative and conscientious way you engage with other editors and thorny issues - not least in your work to do with paid editing and paid advocacy, which has helped stimulate the debate. I see you as a good friend to Wikipedia, and also to many of its users, myself included. Thank you. Writegeist ( talk) 19:59, 8 May 2012 (UTC) |
... this essay might be worth adding to yours on paid ops? Writegeist ( talk) 15:23, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I'm fine.. It's been quite some time. How are you? SPQRobin ( talk) 20:42, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi Buster7. I'm afarid the reason why I had to revert your addition to Wikipedia:Paid Operatives ( [1]) is not that I'm concerned that you mentioned Microsoft, but that it is a direct copy-and-paste of the content at http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-165972187.html, which was not released under a license compatible with Wikipedia. So I have had to revert both that addition and your subsequent re-addition of the work. With your background I presume that you are aware of the policies concerned, and thus I figure this was just an error, but in case it is helpful I've found the copy-and-paste information to be a good summary of the main points to keep in mind.

Hey Buster, thanks! It's fun editing Wikipedia! Kopuku ( talk) 14:58, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi Buster, two very active bots just got deflagged and went straight into the >100k group. They won't be in future versions of the report, so we "only" have 164 editors with over 100,000 edits. BTW I was surprised to see you haven't been given rollback yet, if you'd like me to enable it on your account, just read wp:Rollback and tell me when you would and wouldn't use it.

Hi, Buster. I've removed Category: Wikipedians who will edit for pay from Wikipedia:Paid Operatives. It doesn't make any difference where on a page you put a category; it's presence will still add the page itself to the category. Inappropriately in this case, as I'm sure you'll agree. P. S. Per WP:SECTIONCAPS, "operatives" shouldn't be capitalized in the title; perhaps you'd like to move the essay to Wikipedia:Paid operatives. (Well, if you care. Not a big deal.)

User talk:12text12 seems like a WP:SPA spammer, I reverted a few. Thanks. History2007 ( talk) 15:25, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

You probably remember our discussion, now archived at
User talk:Buster7/Archives/2012/March#Recruiting retirees and invalids. I am curious about how your efforts have progressed, and about whether you have encountered any problems.

How are you welcoming editors? Whatever you're using has "your contributions" always pointing to Special:Contributions/Voiceperson. -- NeilN talk to me 13:55, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
