I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~.

[edit] South African?

Hi. I'm guessing you're South African or otherwise interested in South Africa. You might be interested in making improvements to South Africa-related articles in Category:South Africa or chatting to like-minded editors at Category:Wikipedians in South Africa. If you ever need help editing you can leave me a message on my talk page and I'll be happy to help out. Just remember to sign with four tildes ~~~~ at the end, which the wiki software translates into your signature and date like so: Zunaid©® 13:40, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: How do you do it?

You wrote on my talk page:

Hi there!
How do you revert vandalised pages so quickly. I must be doing it wrong somehow because you are always one step ahead. Is there some non-manual way or am I missing something obvious here?
Cheers


Thanks for the message. I use Lupin's anti-vandal tool most of the time. It works very well, and it has some nice features (like highlighting any edits from a user that you've already reverted during this session). Once it's installed, just click on one of the four new links in the toolbox at the left side of your page. I usually use "Recent IP edits" (report on edits by users who have not logged in), since the vast majority of vandalism seems to be from those users. The tool will give you buttons to (among other things) see what changed, do a "one-click" revert, and open the user's talk page to leave a warning.

There are supposed to be some other tool coming available soon, but Lupin's does a great job for now.

Thanks for your help in fighting the huge amounts of vandalism on Wikipedia. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help you.

[edit] Wikimania 2008 in Cape Town

Hi. Would you be interested in helping to ensure Wikimania 2008 is held in Cape Town? If so, please go to the Cape Town bid page, and sign up on the discussion page. Feel free to dive right in with adding suggestions, or fleshing out the bid! I'd greatly appreciate any help, no matter how small. Greenman 00:03, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button Image:Signature_icon.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 13:51, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chatsworth Stadium

Hi there, Just to clarify on the Chatsworth Stadium issue, I had no idea whether it existed or in what form, I just preferred to have an open discussion with people who DO know or can find out definitively rather than simply deleting the article without a discussion. Generally, I see AfD as a great way to improve articles because it attracts attention that would otherwise never be seen. By the way, I see you are from Cape Town? I am going to be there next week for a week (mostly downtown) and would love to get some good pictures for Wikipedia to upload. Any suggestions on buildings, places or other things to try to get photos of in Cape Town? Thanks--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 14:02, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
