[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Walter

Hi Walter, just to let you know I posted two additional questions at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Walter, would you care to have a look at them? I tried to make them open questions, in order to give you maximum liberty in answering them. tx. --Francis Schonken 08:38, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I have seen them. Thanks, it is good to anwers questions so users can make up there mind. --Walter 11:31, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

I have a question on your current languages on your nomination page. --User:General Eisenhower 02:14, March 25 2006

What do you mean? That nomination is closed and I do not intend to reapply for at least one year. --Walter 21:50, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VWN en WCN

Beste Walter,

Al enige tijd is er een Nederlandstalig chapter in oprichting, te vinden op http://nl.wikimedia.org . Dit wordt de Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland (VWN). Je kunt je interesse om lid te worden van deze vereniging hier aangeven.

Deze vereniging gaat eind augustus/begin september een Wikimedia Conferentie in Nederland (WCN) houden, volgend op Wikimania in Boston, gedeeltelijk erop inspelend middels een aantal discussiegroepen. Om iets dergelijks te organiseren is imput erg gewenst. Dus als je wilt meehelpen, of als je interesse hebt om bij een dergelijk evenement aanwezig te zijn, geef dat dan aan op nl.wikimedia. Ik hoop daar snel je imput tegemoet te zien! Met vriendelijke groet, effeietsanders 21:36, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] user:excaliburo

This is a definite dormant sock of user:Bonaparte. We have already wasted a huge amount of nerve and effort with him. And User:Alucard sepetdalv is not off my hook either. I guess you are a new in this ugly history of User:Bonaparte/sockpuppetry and his persisitent trolling and using open proxiee to pretend that they are from "different continents". In fact, user:Bonaparte is from all over the globe, a true "citizen of the world", so to say. mikka (t) 21:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I am absolutely not interested in this Bonaparte-sock puppet story. I only know that two users that you have blocked now have come complain about there block here on EN Wikipedia at Meta. You have decided that user user:excaliburo is a sockpuppet of user Bonaparte. user:excaliburo does not agree. You need to inform that user where he can complain about that. I do not know where and he seems also not to know it because he comes to Meta and is annoying people there. --Walter 22:16, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I see you were runing for admin. With this attitude you will have problems, colleague. "He comes to meta and annoys people there", welcome to wiki world. That he does not know where to complain is bullshit. The page that appears when a blocked user logs in contains all necessary info. That he did not use regular channels is yet another proof of what you are not interested to hear. mikka (t) 02:09, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] about bots

I'we have replied to your discussion at WT:BRFA _→AzaToth 00:32, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, Walter. For convenience and organisation, I've set up a couple of pages pertinent to the bot approvals process on En; these can be found at Wikipedia:Bots/Trial runs and Wikipedia:Bots/Approval log.

Items on the former list are approved for a one week trial run, while the latter list details all approved bot flags. I think this will lower the administrative overhead, and I'm sure it'll make life easier for the stewards as to who needs what doing when. :)

Cheers. Rob Church (talk) 22:06, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userpage

I took the liberty of fixing two spelling mistakes in your profile. I hope that you don't mind. You are more than welcome to revert my changes. Regards, Alphachimp ^talk 00:21, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inline audio link pop-ups

As you're one of the people who commented about formatting/clutter on the {{audio}} template, I'm wondering what you think of my proposal for a javascript popup instead. I fixed the "clicking on the icon goes to the image page" problem a while ago, but there is still the "overloaded interface"/"too many click targets" problem, and I'm proposing we use javascript to hide the extra links until you hover over it. You can try out the mock-up yourself by adding this to your User:Walter/monobook.js:

document.write('<scr' + 'ipt type="text/javascript" src="' 
             + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Omegatron/monobook.js/audiopops.js'
             + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></scr' 
             + 'ipt>');

This would be a site-wide change, so everyone would see it, and it safely falls back to the current design with several links on browsers without javascript. I would be happy with any kind of support, suggestions, or criticism; right now I feel like I'm talking to a wall. — Omegatron 18:44, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deblokkering Mythologica

Hallo Walter

Ik ben een gebruiker op Wiki NL maar sindskort geblokkeerd voor sokpopperij. Ik heb hier spijt van en zou graag gedeblokkeerd worden zoals je zult zien draag ik ook bij aan Wikipedia bv. het artikel over de heilige Agatha. Ik discusierde hier al over met Oscar maar hij antwoord niet veel en is wat onduidelijk. Ik weet dat ik normaal de ontsnappingclausule zou moeten opvolgen maar ik ken GEEN adres van een betrouwbare medewerker! Help me alsjeblieft, ik zou graag terug bij dragen aan wikipedia NL onder de naam Mythologica.

Groeten

Ruben alias Mythologica
