Approval of alternate vpbot client
Hello there! I'm writing on the occasion that I have decided to pick up work on an alternate (and possibly multiplatform) client for the VP2 network. While I know that Eagle is writing a client of his own, I know it's Java-based. Since I have recently problems with JVM on my Ubuntu box, I'd like to write a pythonized version or maybe a plugin for my favourite Xchat. Yet, while Ethereal-sniffing communication between the clients and the bot (I need to work out the protocol's details) I came across User:Sagaciousuk, who (to say the least) didn't find the idea worth pursuing. He kicked me from the rc channel and revoked my approval citing "being precautious" and needing you to approve of it. So, let's. I hereby seek your approval and blessing. My project may well fail due to lack of time, but can I please at least have a shot? :-) Regards, Misza13 20:00, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Minun banned from Wikipedia
User:Minun has been banned by the Arbitration Committee here for sockpuppetry, page move vandalism, and misrepresentation of a speedy deletion to delete incriminating evidence. I have posted this at VandalProof Abuse as well. Nwwaew(My talk page) 14:05, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Richwales unable to get VandalProof to work (login fails)
Hi. Despite repeated attempts, I am completely unable to get VandalProof to work for me at all. Every time, it says that my login request has failed (after a long wait for retrieval of the user list). I've tried launching VP while logged in to my Wikipedia account on both Firefox and IE. I've also logged in to Wikipedia via the link in the VP page (by clicking the link in the yellow box which offers suggestions of what to do if logging in fails), but I still end up with the same "log-in request failed" error. Xyrael tried some things to fix the problem, but none of them worked. I'm trying to use version 1.2.2 of VP. Can you help? Richwales 16:07, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hi. Is there any hope that this problem will ever be fixed? If not, I guess I'll just forget about the idea of using VP. Richwales 17:45, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
can't log in to VP
Hello. I seem to be unable to log into VP, and I have no idea why. Whenever I try to log in, VP either crashes or (more often) gives the "Your log-in request failed" message. The latter occurs after I first get the "login succesful" note from WP. The application worked just fine previously, but this problem appeared a while ago. --AAikio 17:27, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, I also had the problem you describe last night. However, I persisted, and on the third attempt, it did not crash. --BostonMA talk 18:20, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
VandalProof waiting list
Whats going on with the VandalProof waiting list? Its been static for at least a week now. Nwwaew(My talk page) 19:30, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- I noticed this too. I can go through the list for you, if you're too busy: just let me know what the requirements are (if more than the typical no vandalism, 250 main edits, etc.) and I'll make a list of who meets it and who doesn't. I'm not busy this weekend, got lots of time ;-) — Editor at Large(speak) 02:49, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
-
- Yeah, I was wondering why my application (and a bunch of others) from around a week back hadn't been approved. Ah well, it gave me the chance to well and truly (nearly 450 edits) be able to apply for it. SMC 07:41, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof modding
Hey AmiD
As you probably have noticed, since losing my mod abilities in VP the list has gotten a tad backlogged. Not sure if there's anything you can do, Eagle reports he has the same prob in 1.2.2 due to the space in our names.
But I really wanna help so maybe we start loading them onto VP 2??? At the least may I be enabled as a mod on VP2 plz? On IRC now if ya wanna chat Glen 00:34, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

- Since there has been no response from you in over a week now, I would like to invite you to revert your action of 13 September 2006, by removing the Erich Heller article from the main space and merging it with my article on the user subpage, in order to restore the latter’s integrity, including the integrity of its history and authorship, and to bring it to the status it had before 03.33 UTC on 13 September 2006 — thereby allowing me control over its transfer to the main article space, etc. I lack technical knowledge to revert your action by myself (although I am otherwise perfectly capable of moving articles from my user subspace). Thank you. — Prof02 06:26, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Wingin' It (Comedy)
I wrote an article on Wingin' It, a high school improv group in Carlisle, PA. I believe this article is notable enough to keep as Wingin' It is well known within central Pennsylvania. They are the first high school improv group in Central Pennsylvania and likely to be the model for improv comedy groups in surrounding high schools. They work with the group at Dickinson College and perform outside of school regularly. Any group of pioneers, however local, deserve at least a small mention.
Thank you for your time and effort. Phoenix15 23:49, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

hi AmiDaniel.... my name is Aghiel, I'm from Balikpapan, East Borneo, Indonesia
VandalProof
Hello, i'm interesting with VandalProof. I would like to developpe it on WP FR. For the moment i translate the page in french to explain to french contributers what is VandalProof. Here is my user page on WP FR : fr:Utilisateur:Leag. I'm sysop since 6 months and i have more than 9500 mainspace edits. You can tell me what to do to make VandalProof working on French wikipedia. You can contact me here. Thanks Leag 16:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC) Excuse me for my bad english :)
- Well, I'm currently working on a program similar to VandalProof but with many more gizmos that will be usable on any foundation wiki, but it won't be available for another couple of months. However, VP1.3 has the ability to be easily adapted for multiple wikis. If you, or someone else, would be willing to spend some time translating string tables, I'd have no problem adapting it for frwiki. I'll try to get back to you in a few days, but if I don't, please feel free to nag me. AmiDaniel (talk) 18:00, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'll be far away from my computer for one week. You can give the string table after november the 3rd. Thanks Leag 09:32, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

No Response?
I've been trying to use VandalProof for over 2 weeks now, and have had no luck. I've posted two messages on the discussion page (Under "Not being recognized"), but have received no responses. It seems that a number of other people are having similar problems. Can you please respond so that we can try to get these problems resolved?

Wikipedia has clear procedures on moving pages. Other than in exceptional circumstances all pages should be moved by following the instructions on the Requested Moves page. Unilateral moves can trigger edit wars, break links and cause a lot of problems. Please stop unilaterally moving pages and follow the correct procedure.
Please do not edit the user pages of other contributors without their approval or consent. It may be seen as vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please visit the sandbox.
- Please re-merge the Erich Heller article in the main space with the article on my user subpage, User:Prof02/Erich_Heller, from which you originally truncated it on 13 September 2006 — and thereby restore the full integrity of the article in userspace. Please do not archive this section before the dispute is resolved. — Prof02 07:03, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Deletion reason for Google Talk (game)?
I was trying to find this page again today, and had to look at the history of Google Talk to find the link. Unfortunately the deletion log of the page doesn't give much information ("5 day-old uncontested PROD"). Could I get the original reason for the PROD, please?
By the way, WP:PROD currently says, "If you agree that the article should be deleted, delete it giving an informative deletion reason, such as that given by the nominator, not just expired prod.", and has had a similar message since at least a month before this deletion.--FunnyMan 21:45, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

VP abuse/incompetence
Re: WP:VandalProof#Abuse "If you observe anyone making questionable edits with this tool, using this tool in an edit war, or otherwise misusing the tool, please contact me immediately."
One of your users use VP for violating WP:REVERT (wholesale reversion of an edit he objects to a part thereof, and wrongly at that) as well as WP:MOSDAB and WP:FAITH, plus all due process for checking actual vandalism before reverting and suppressing content. And I'm not the only one who seem to complain about wholesale reversions, this user seem to have fun or up his edit count by preying on wikignomes -- in other words, a gun in the hands of an incompetent.
(I dunno if your documentation mentions WP:REVERT and not throwing the baby with the bathwater, but if not, it should.)

-- 62.147.39.202 04:42, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
AmiDaniel: This entire thing is about one revert I made last night, with a spam0 warning. There's lots to read through to get the gist of it (on my talk page, AN/I, Afd and here), and I imagine you might not care to. However, please feel free to make any constructive criticism about my use of VP on my talk page and I will of course take it very seriously. I'd like to suggest, however, that my previous record with VP (including this contentious edit) is hardly "a gun in the hands of an incompetent". Sigh. Cheers. Dina 15:40, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Will you please revert to earlier edition Imelda Marcos. User Angeles deleted most of the older edition and wrote her own biased version. thanks.
Your changes to the CVU article are as pointless as what you deleted.
I was disappointed in the changes that you made to the CVU wiki article.
A cursory glance at the article shows that it doesn't have much or any substantial information about CVUHS. If you're going to make arm chair "improvements" to it you might as well delete the entire thing except the link to www.cvuhs.org.
Instead you went ahead and self righteously deleted the only thing that made the whole page worth reading. I don't know why, you probably thought you were doing a service to wikipedia. It must be a really dull world where they don't have humor = (.
I'm not looking to start an "edit war" with you over this, so I'm asking you to voluntarily return the CVU article to it's version before you changed it. Thanks!
Sir Smith 02:43, 3 November 2006 (UTC)Sir Smith

VP Ongoing Issue
For some reason my name has been removed from the list of authorized users. I was added by Betacommand here [1], and he welcommed me here[2]. I had difficulties using it, did everything I could myself, was unable to, so I requested assistance here [3]. Instead of assistance, I was removed from the list. Because I have had difficulties on wikipedia recieving help from administrators when requested, this message is in essence a generic template I am writing on all moderators' talk pages and discussion boards in the hopes of recieving if nothing else a response - ideally, however, a solution. Thank you very much and apologies for my impatience. Gregorof/(T) 05:20, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

User:Wizardry Dragon and VP2
I'm afraid there is mounting evidence that User:Wizardry Dragon is unable to use VP2 properly and is instead utilizing it to revert edits he disagrees with. I'm also concerned about his failure to understand what is vandalism on Wikipedia and how it's different from content disputes. Please see here, here, and here for several users, including myself, pointing out to his inappropriate reverts and vandalism accusations. Beit Or 18:33, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I hate to rain on your parade, but current policy states that we should not semi-protect the day's featured article. --Robdurbar 12:45, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm, just re-read that and it sounds a bit arsey. I mean, well done for all the stuff you did earlier, its just that you left it to be protected for 2 hours at the end of it. --Robdurbar 15:59, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
-
- Yes, I'm well aware of the policy on sprotect; however, these were unique circumstances (note that I removed over 180 vandalistic edits from the page, many of which were committed even while semiprotected, during four separate history purges). Unfortunately, the semi-protection was absolutely vital, and it may well have been better to even full protect for a short while. It remained s-protected for suprising only two hours, considering that the vandal was still at work well over an hour into the sprotection before he tired out. I'm sorry you disagree with my decision, but frankly I don't. AmiDaniel (talk) 16:20, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Duhman0009 13:02, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, but archives are typically kept for historical purposes, and I do not believe it acceptable to blank it just because a remark was made that you found off-color. The only way anyone will ever arrive at that page again is by following deletion logs, which will likely only occur in the case of a DRV. Put it behind you, and move on. AmiDaniel (talk) 16:24, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
- Put it behind you say? Are you asking me for something that you would be willing to do in the same situation, or that you wouldn't be willing to, even at your current Wikipedia user level? Duhman0009 18:45, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I was removed from the "request for approval" list at the vandalproof, and not put on either the "approved" or "denied" lists. Could you tell me why, please? Jeffpw 11:30, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof corrupt user list
I've recently also gotten errors telling me that I'm not on the user list, and then later, that the list was corrupt. Thinking that it was something on my side, I traced VandalProof to the VandalProof "L" page, of which the encryption is apparently corrupted, perhaps due to something wrong with the reverts? Hope it gets fixed soon! Ddcc 02:22, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Anything you could do?
Hello AmiDaniel, I recently applied for permission to use VandalProof, and that was before I read that you need 250 mainspace edits. I try to clean up vandalism when I can, but It'll be some time before I have that many edits, as I'm not on Wikipedia all the time. Is there anyway you could help me out with being able to use VandalProof? Thanks, Ardo 01:11, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof
Hi, I appear to have been delisted. Reading the above regarding new version, could you add me back please. Thanks --Billreid 10:01, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
User List Bug
There is currently a very bothersome user list bug that is affecting many VP users.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 19:28, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm aware. Please see this. I can't do anything about it right now, but you can add your name to User:AmiDaniel/VP/Approval, where a mod shuld process you promptly, or you can join #vandalproof on irc.freenode.net, where you should be able to get immediate assistance from someone. Sorry about the inconvenience. AmiDaniel (talk) 19:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Access to VandleBot Source?
Hey AmiDaniel, I was wondering if you'd allow me the pleasure of porting VandleBot to Unix-like operating systems? If so, would it be possible if I could get my hands on the VandleBot VB source? If you're interested, I'm intending to use Gambas to write the port. Many thanks. --darkphase 13:49, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- I presume you mean VandalProof, and not vandal bots, such as User:Tawkerbot2. VP seems to run perfectly fine under wine; thus, I have no intention of attempting a unix port. I am, however, currently porting VP2 out to Java, which will be GPLed, opensource, and runnable on any reasonable operating system with the Java jre1.5.0_07 or later installed. You may be more interested in working with that project or using source code from that project instead. If you would like source code for VP1.x, I'd be glad to get it to you; however, I would like to note that due to issues of legality (regarding MS components) and security, the project is not GPL, but rather is closed-source and copyright me. If you're given the source code, you must agree not to publish the code or to use any part of the application without first consulting me (not because I'm a control freak, but because there are various legal and security issues you may not be aware of). I'd much prefer that you build off of other opensource projects, such as VandalSniper or JVP2, than off of VandalProof 1.x. I'd also like to note that I'm working on a project named WikiMonitor, which will likely be GPLed (though, if it cannot be, it will in any case be opensource), and may be more helpful to you than the VP source. AmiDaniel (talk) 20:17, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Vandalism Report
User:164.58.144.22 has committed yet another act of vandalism, this time directed at the David Hall article, which I have since reverted. --TommyBoy 19:44, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Please report vandals to WP:AIV, where they're likely to get a much faster response than simply notifying one or two admins who may or may not currently be on. AmiDaniel (talk) 20:09, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks!
AmiDaniel, thanks for approving me so I can use VandalProof. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness. It is my hope that I will make good use of this tool on Wikipedia. Thanks again, AnupamTalk 07:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, no problem. Sorry about the delay in approving you :). We've had some administrivia issues as of late, and I've had no time. I hope you find it useful. AmiDaniel (talk) 07:10, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- I am back from break (long story) so I will be able to resume moderating now. Great job with 1.3 BTW. Still no button to inform a user that they are not approved though. Prodego talk 16:12, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Do we need to moderate manually now? My mod tools are linking to the old 1.2 list. Prodego talk 16:15, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm it looks like it can't be done manually. Is something wrong in my program? Prodego talk 21:06, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Re application
Thank you, after having applied, I re-read the criteria for acceptance. I will apply again later.Edditor 16:20, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
1.3.1 Bugs
Alright very stable, I like it. But I did find a few things (see above):
Awaiting Aproval mod list dosen't load
Here someone adding themselves to the recently approved list isn't overriden (although that wont do anthing).
Prodego talk 21:28, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Where should I report bugs?
Hey AmiDaniel,
Last night I downloaded your new version of VP. First things first... I love it! You've done a fantastic job on it. Vandal fighting couldn't be easier now. =)
However, I've found a couple of bugs. I saw that people seemed to be reporting them on the welcome page and followed suit, posting there myself. Today, however, I noticed the Report a Bug section of your "forums", and I was wondering if you'd perfer to have them posted there.
Let me know! Again, great job on the new VP! —Lantoka ( talk | contrib) 03:04, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Vandal proof interwiki
Hello,
I've read you're working on interwiki VP. I would really like to use this soft in lithuanian wikipedia (lt:), so I may help you as much as you need. Just let me know what kind of help exactly do you need. best regards, --Windom 03:50, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi ! I can't understand why you proposed this entry for deletion, this is a very useful tool for a lot of people, I have seen hundreds of times less notable products and concept included in WP, please see also my answer in the discussion page --Khalid hassani 12:15, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
VP
Hi there. I recently recieved a message stating that I had approval for using VP but I'm not on the list and so unfortunatley it won't run. Can you rectify this? Thanks Somearemoreequal 21:26, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Login problems with VP1.3
Prodego recommend me to leave a note on your talkpage. I have been approved for VP1.2 and VP2.0 and I had a "you are not on the userlist" error in VP1.3... Betacommand and Prodego readded me a few times, with no succes. Any idea what I could do, cause I really want to use VP1.3 --Deenoe 01:08, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Vandalproof 1.3.1
Hello AmiDaniel,
When can I get VandalProof 1.3.1? As according to the official "website" of VandalProof it was released on Nov. 17 2006 (Therefore 4 days ago, when I write this).
Just wanted to know,
Booksworm Sprechen-sie Koala? 19:25, 21 November 2006 (UTC) Never mind. Found it!
-
- Just had a brainwave. Why don't you use a bot like the one that broadcasts the Wikipedia Signpost? This would involve a "broadcast" of a template that announced that "There is a new version of VandalProof! Version 1.3.1!" to all people on the user list!
A bunch of Barnstars for you!
Hello there AmiDaniel!
Here are some barnstars for you!
 This is for you for your brilliant work on creating VandalProof |
 For the programme to murder the trolls and other nuisances |
 For a programme that will defend the wiki |

WP:RFPP templates
Hi - you may know this, but Template talk:RFPP provides information to get the pre-formatted accept or decline messages to appear for some choices. Thanks - Martinp23 12:38, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I've seen em -- don't care for them much to be honest :). I guess I'm still old fashioned, but I'll try to start using them. AmiDaniel (talk) 12:41, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
RFP for Featured Article of the Day
Sorry - I originally listed this on the RFP page but that's not the place for discussions - might I ask why FAotD are generally not at least semi-protected? The featured picture receives protection for the time it is on the front page. It just seems like a natural thing to do to allow editors to focus on building an encyclopdeia rather than protecting it in a case where a page has been made a higher priority target. Thanks for looking, though! DukeEGR93 13:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- As an aside - I did read WP:NOPRO; I just think the rationale against semi-protection is awfully weak. DukeEGR93 13:59, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- The featured picture, like the blurb about today's FA, is protected because it actually appears on the main page, which is a very high visibility page, and edits to this elements for shock value can be quite disruptive. Today's FA, and any page linked from the main page, however, is kept unprotected to encourage new editors to begin editing--while this results in much obnoxious vandalism and test editing, it also demonstrates the anyone-can-edit mentality, our great countervandalism team, and opens many eyes to the way Wikipedia works. It's primarily just an issue of visiting the main page which boasts "the encyclopedia anyone can edit!" and then immediately being led to a page with a nasty {{sprotected}} notice and a "view source" tab--doesn't reflect well on Wikipedia. Policy may soon change on this issue, but for now let's just grin and bear it. AmiDaniel (talk) 14:02, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Wr template
I'd like to know what your thoughts are on reinstating this template in some way or creating new guidelines for stopping the removal of user warnings. A vandal looking to escape a block/ban is going to ultimately learn that they only need to keep deleting the level 1 or 2 warnings (under the guise of "cleaning up" or "incorrect warnings") and anyone (like myself) who is patrolling for vandalism is not going to know that the vandal had previously been warned unless the warnings begin to stack up faster than the vandal logs in. The result is perpetually cycling at level 1 or 2 and never reaching a point where the vandal is finally temp-blocked or potentially banned. In fact, I find this sort of insidious anti-anti-vandalism often stems from the worst vandals who attempt to disguise their vandalism as hoax/overlapping edits/etc and require the greatest amount of diverse attention that makes permanent user warnings useful to other anti-vandal patrollers. I saw that you userfied the Wr template and figured you'd be a person to discuss their eventual re-use depending on how they were implemented. Thanks. ju66l3r 19:46, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
VP Approval Question
In the Awaiting Approval section, do you prefer users to add themselves at the top or bottom of the list? Tennis DyNamiTe (sign in) 22:13, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- Probably the bottom, but it truthfully makes no difference. Generally once a mod gets around to dealing with requests on that page, s/he clears it all in one breath; the order is generally irrelevant. Unfortunately, due to some bugs in the mod tools, this process is somewhat difficult for mods at the moment, thus the delay, but we're working on sorting it out. Thanks for your patience! AmiDaniel (talk) 08:34, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
re:Robert Prechter
Thanks you for unprotecting the page Robert Prechter. I do intend to put back some of the media citations, and I do hope that they are not simply reverted again. I appreciate you saying that you'll watch the page, but will try to make sure that you don't have to watch it too hard! Smallbones 08:23, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Confirm

VP Approval backlog
Hi AmiDaniel. I was a happy user of VP 1.3 and recently I'm no longer on the approved list. There also appears to be a backlog of users requesting approval. Can you have a look at it for me and see if you could approve some of us who have, for some reason, lost the approval! Cheers! Budgiekiller 14:25, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Problems with VP1.3
Hi AmiDaniel. I was approved for VP1.2 and VP2 and recently I downloaded VP1.3, which told me I am not on the userlist. I went to the AA list and got reapproved like.. 5 times by Betacommand and Prodego, but nothing worked. Any idea why? --Deenoe 17:42, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Dai Davies (politician)
I would argue that 3RR does not apply when I am restoring references that have been removed without comment, which is akin to vandalism. All attempts to start a discussion have been ignored. Catchpole 22:30, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- I understand why you feel that way; however, I'm going to stand by my opinion that you are both in violation of 3RR. If the user continues to edit war on the article, please contact me rather than revert lest you be blocked as well. AmiDaniel (talk) 22:35, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Re: Range blocks
Argh. Sorry I wasn't able to respond to your message sooner -- everything from holiday retail to final projects and exams at school are getting in the way, this week. There was a very serious trolling problem, including death and rape threats to users and their family members. Checkuser and IRC were involved; there was talk of police reports, as well. Before sprotecting a swath of pages, I thought I should try a short rangeblock; that didn't do the trick, so I thought I might try a longer one -- in retrospect, I should have advertised this decision more openly, should have done more to seek consensus as to the appropriate action, and should have made sure that I personally would be available to deal with the collateral damage I caused. For what it's worth, I'd like to think I learned a few lessons from this; it was at a different level than the problems I've dealt with, in the past, so hopefully I'll be prepared to respond more appropriately in the future. Let me know if there's anything more I can do, to help settle this. Luna Santin 01:15, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Your input is (urgently!) requested
I have created http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/Robert_Prechter in response to the furious (and quite nasty) debate at Talk:Robert Prechter and Talk:Socionomics. I would appreciate guidance as to whether I am following the proper procedure, and input on the mediation. The conflict-of-interest issue continues to be ignored or deflected by User:Rgfolsom and his edit-warring and debate with User:Smallbones are out of control. Requests to tone it down and adopt a more cooperative style have failed to have any impact. CanaryInACoalmine 10:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
