[edit] A request to protect Chicken
I saw your request in wikipedia:requests for page protection, and I think you tried your best to request protection. However, I believe that you did not look through instructions there; so rather than doing edits for you, I hope you please re-edit the passage yourself. I'm just letting you know your partial errors, that's all. --Gh87 01:30, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey...you sound like a nerd. Try cleaning up your image. Oh, and you spelled "major" wrong. Chicken666 17:57, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] reverted edits on CAPTCHA
why remove the link? the captcha.biz site's examples of captchas aren't very strong at all, and the site doesn't actually tell people how to implement them, it just (after 6 pages) gives people a download of a premade form with the weak captcha. Given this, it seems to fit under the 'implementations' heading, which was agreed to be a Bad Thing in the talk for that page.
why not category:spamming? CAPTCHA's main use is to fight spam! perhaps category:anti-spam would be more appropriate, agreed, but why not just change the category instead of removing it?

[edit] Virtual classroom
I've set up the Virtual classroom (VC), which is a forum for the discussion of advanced Wikipedia skills. It differs from the help forums on Wikipedia in that major topics of discussion are scheduled and once started remain continuous.
The reason I'm contacting you is because one of the class assignments is a comparison of our user interfaces. A lot can be learned from individual users, who usually have developed their own ways of doing things. I noticed you are an expert programmer, so you no doubt have some tricks up your sleeve. I'm hoping that you will stop by and share and compare the interfaces you use when browsing and working on Wikipedia. I've also constructed a tools page which presents everything learned from these discussions, and it is growing -- there are some pretty powerful techniques on there now. Even Interiot, Rich Farmbrough, and CBDunkerson have stopped by the VC to show off their tools and methods. It's been a lot of fun, and you are invited. The interface topics are called:
and
I look forward to seeing you there and to learning your wikiways. Sincerely, The Transhumanist 23:40, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
