Hi! I'm drafting an article on a game studio called Toca Boca. Since you were so friendly, I was wondering if you could give me some pointers. Thanks!

Hi Vacation9. Minor request here. It appears that when logging in to STiki you have entered your username with a leading space, i.e., " Vacation9". The MediaWiki API is letting you login like this, but STiki's database istreating this typed out version and the whitespace-less one (which you have also used on STiki) as two different user names. A fix for this will be included in the next version. In the meanwhile, can you remove this space when you login (its likely just being stored by the program at this point)? This is causing some leaderboard messiness where it appears you are a new account, and I am having to manually correct the database to map your work to the right person.

Hi what I did that edit on User_talk:Sands32981 is that a other user name User_talk:Alameda15 blocked the user that should not be blocked. Carson30 ( talk) 03:44, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, believe you or not, but there is no such weapon as AK-47. And it's a shame that wiki has an article desrtibing AK as AK-47. AK-47 is a Hollywood tale. Ther is an AK, AKM, AKMS, AKMSU for 7.63x39. But no weapon ecer called AK-47. have good one.
I thought warnings couldn't be removed for a set period of time. But I guess that applies to more severe warnings like blocks. Thanks for helping me understand! Ashermadan ( talk) 23:34, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi, I want to create an article for Gov 2.0 that does not redirect to e-government. Gov 2.0 takes e-government a step further by opening government data, utilizing social networking, and creating apps to improve citizen's daily lives, enable the government to be transparent, and improve the relationship between citizens and government. Is it possible for Gov 2.0 to have its own article? If so, how do I cancel the redirect?
Thanks, Cmharts
Hiya. I'm actually wanting the file you mention deleted as it should have been uploaded using my Wife's account and not mine since she it is hers. Please delete the file as it's not immediately obvious as to how to go about doing that other than just remove the license such as it automatically gets deleted (as is obvious we're complete new-commers to wiki)? Thanks Dsth ( talk) 22:35, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
So I just noticed that {{
defcon}}
is at 5, even though I've spent the last few hours cleaning up after 2 different LTAs. Would it be possible for VoxelBot to monitor protection logs for summaries like "Persistent vandalism" or "sockpuppetry" (etc) and block summaries like "vandalism-only account" "LTA" etc. I'm not sure how this would fit into the counting algorithm, since theoretically if protections and blocks are being made the amount of vandalism should reduce...yet for LTAs it can mean vandalism is even higher. Just an idea :)

Thanks for the advice that I email revdel requests re the ref desk speculation. But my understanding is that if you email oversight they can see your email address, which is problematic since I was stalked before and don't want any connection between my wikipedia and real lives. (And I don't want to set up a dummy email for wikipedia that I will never remember to check or the password for.) Am I mistaken in that impression? If I am not mistaken they can see my email address, is there an alternative? There are warnings that the use of IRC is also not fully anonymous either. Forgive my paranoia. I'll watch here for your answer, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Medeis ( talk • contribs) 01:30, 23 January 2013
I saw your warning message for my edit in the Calicut page. I agree that I may done the mistake of not citing the source but the information was very much factual. The official name of the Calicut city is infact Kozhikode. I hope this counts as a source, The quick dumping of ‘Calicut’. To quote the article,
"A 63-year-old order issued by the Government of Madras confirms that the ‘Municipality of Calicut’ shall henceforward be called the ‘Municipality of Kozhikode’. The government order number 150, dated January 27, 1949, shows there was minimal objection from the public to the name change".
Please advise me how to make this significant change. 58.68.91.114 ( talk) 13:20, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

I've been making some progress on Snuggle development recently and I could use your feedback. Specifically, I've created a work log that I plan to update every time I get a chance to work on Snuggle. My intention is that you'll be able to watch that page to track my progress so I can get your feedback on features when they are early in development. The most recent entry (also the only entry) discusses new functionality for interacting with newcomers via Snuggle. I posted some mockups in the work log that show how I imagine the new features to work and I could use some feedback before I start writing the code. Thanks! -- EpochFail( talk • work) 20:29, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
Hey Vacation9/Archives/2013 - this is to notify you that there is a discussion starting on the Article Feedback RfC talkpage that has ramifications for the RfC itself. Your input is much appreciated :). Thanks! and apologies if I've missed anyone Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 16:50, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi ho,
thanks a lot for substing all the ş → ș, but there are several mistakes already. Romanian, Moldavian and Gagauz are the only languages that use ș instead of ş. Turkish, Azerbaidjan and some others use te ş correctly.
For example,
[1],
[2] and
[3] were not good ideas. I really meant literally only the articles in Romanian geography categories!!
