[edit] Schmear

I couldn't resist and opened up your redirect from 2006... Source of blame: User_talk:Doc_glasgow#Bagels.3F Lawrence § t/e 15:54, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA contest

Hi, if you are still doing this, I would like the money to go to this. Cheers. miranda 13:55, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:Lectures

Today (Apr 20th), around 15:00 UTC! Possibly on Skype, but certainly on IRC (#wikipedia-en-lectures on freenode)! I don't actually know about the Skype details... Message me on Skype (xavexgoem) about that, if you have it (no harm in getting it, either), and then maybe by that time I'll have a clue :-p Xavexgoem (talk) 14:28, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


I see that you'd be interested in speaking! What topic would you like to talk about? --Kim Bruning (talk) 14:23, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

You're no longer interested in speaking? :-( How come? --Kim Bruning (talk) 00:09, 24 April 2008 (UTC) If you have no time, I understand. If you have some reason to disagree with me on certain positions, you might actually want to speak anyway, as it would be useful to have people learn multiple views of the system.

Lack of time; nothing political. MessedRocker (talk) 00:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I understand, I also wish I had more time. :-) --Kim Bruning (talk) 00:19, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RfC Question

I can't figure out why this one isn't working. Dlabtot (talk) 05:09, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Is the bot AWOL?

Or does it just take a while? I added Talk:Documentary_hypothesis#RfC:_Vatican_reference manually in the meantime. Feel free to remove if the bot adds it instead. Faith (talk) 14:20, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello!

Hiya MR! How are you doing?

Nice to see you active a bit again... I'm writing about the unreferenced BLPs, which I still use to find articles to work on sources for. Any chance of getting an updated version anytime? Cheers, -- phoebe / (talk) 22:33, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Awesome! back to BLP eradication BLP referencing... :) -- phoebe / (talk) 00:07, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NYC Meetup: June 1, 2008

New York City Meetup


Next: Sunday June 1st, Columbia University area
Last: 3/16/2008
This box: view • talk • edit

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, elect a board of directors, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).

We'll also review our recent Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, and make preparations for our exciting successor Wiki Week bonanza, being planned with Columbia University students for September or October.

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

Also, check out our regional US Wikimedia chapters blog Wiki Northeast (and we're open to guest posts).

[edit] RfC not appearing on list

Did I do something wrong? Is it [1] too long? This is the first time I've ever used it and I'm sure I messed it up somehow... Sugarbat (talk) 18:51, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Update: OK I see it now; it just took a few minutes. Please disregard the above. :) Sugarbat (talk) 19:08, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RFC bot

Would it be possible to modify the RFC templates, such as Template:RFCstyle list, to include a switch to hide the listing instructions? I ask this because I've recently noticed that translcuding the RFC lists works quite nicely in many situations, but often don't require the instructions also being mentioned. Something simple like {{#ifeq:{{{hide_instructions}}}|yes| |{{RFC tagging instructions|RFCstyle}} }} would work, I believe. {{RFCstyle list|hide_instructions=yes}} would then only list the actual discussion descriptions. -- Ned Scott 06:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

The bot changed it back. -- Ned Scott 04:11, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RFC bot messed up Chiropractic entry in RFCsci list

Could you please take a look at Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment #RFC bot messed up Chiropractic entry in RFCsci list? I understand you're an expert on that bot, which appears to have a bug. Thanks. Eubulides (talk) 22:39, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:RFCsoc list

Hasn't been updated in 3 days in the bot ok? Gnevin (talk) 07:52, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RFC Bot

RFC Bot just closed all the RfC's and removed them from the list. Is it broken? —BradV 13:07, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Also RFC Bot

It keeps rejecting this:
== Trivia and unnecessary repetition ==
{{RFCbio | section=Trivia and unnecessary repetition !! Repetition in recent edits !! time=18:08, 30 May 2008 (UTC) }}

Is there something wrong with that? Or with the bot? RedSpruce (talk) 20:09, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. I checked for errors like the one you found about 10 times over, and still managed to miss it. RedSpruce (talk) 02:16, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
