[edit] Thanks

Thanks for saying congrats. Admins work according to policies and WP:AGF, so don't worry, I won't and practically can't ban you XD --Deryck C. 01:31, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Can you help me?

I saw you patrolling the RC and I want to do the same. I already have Vandal Fighter 3.5 and VoA Revert tool. But the revert tool is appending the phrase "TWINKLE" to my edit summaries. How can I stop it from adding that? Or, if you have better tools, please recommend them to me. Thanks. - Microtony 09:55, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't use the Twinkle script (which VoA's Revert tool has now been merged with, hence the message), so you'll have to speak to AzaToth to get a definitive answer, but I think if you replace this:
TwinkleConfig = {
   addAdToSummary:false,
}

with this:

TwinkleConfig = {
        summaryAd:"",
        deletionSummaryAd:""
};
to your monobook.js page, and then bypass your browser cache (press CTRL+F5 on most browsers), the extra phrase should be gone. If it's not working already, that is. Hope this helps – Qxz 10:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

The "TWINKLE" is quite a proprietary function of the twinkle script. Of course you can speak to the author of the script for more. I don't use it, so I mightn't be able to provide much information. Maybe as twinkle becomes more stable, its functions can also come in greater variety. --Deryck C. 13:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] soft b

[edit] Voting on picture

Microtony: I recently ran across your contributions when you made an edit to E=mc2. I have a picture being voted on as a Featured Picture Candidate (here). The picture appears in context here and here. Hardly anyone is voting and I'm in need of more “support” votes. If you can, would you mind? Greg L 02:55, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Millard North High School

I'm not too sure if I would consider that vandalism. I would agree with this edit; however the content he was removing arguably failed WP:NPOV anyways. His user name alone I would contest whether it's appropriate. Regards, Tuxide 06:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. HeywoodJablowmy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) already brought it up on the talk page prior to making his edits. I went ahead and labeled the article as {{cleanup}} and {{npov}} although I'm not too big of a fan of articles about non-notable high schools. Especially those in Omaha, after the Skutt Catholic High School lawsuit. Regards, Tuxide 07:11, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jeanfield Swifts

Please do not remove my Speedy deletion requests. - User:El Severe 23:03, 6 March 2007

[edit] Re: Your Popup vandal reverter is not working properly

Thanks for notifying me. I noticed it too and try to use popups as scarcely as I can while I use IE6 (they work properly with Firefox which I can't use where I am right now) and use the undo button instead. But sometimes, I choose to save some time when I deal with a vandal who has made several disruptive edits in a row. I'm sorry if I wasted your time, I will try to check User talk:Lupin#Getting "revision $1 dated $2 by $3" to see if the problem hasn't been solved yet. Cheers - Myanw 15:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR On Salsa

Hi, Microtony. I'm confused. You left a message on my talk page (Otheus) concerning the 3RR rule. Though you said it was a courtesy, is it the case that (a) I don't understand the 3rr rule as it applies to vandalism, or (b) you don't understand...., or (c) you failed to notice that I rv'd vandalism, or (d) you disagreed with what I thought was obviously vandalism, or (e) you were are aware of all the above and were just giving me a friendly, AGF-warning. --Otheus 00:23, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for noticing WS114AUT

Thank you for reverting the vandalism on my username page. I appreciate your fast response. MrMacMan 02:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Yup I saw the block notice too. Your report did the job and I thank you. :D MrMacMan 02:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BV Tag

The blatant vandal tag is a level 3 warning; I believe it says so at the bottom on the tag, after substitution. --Haemo 03:12, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for cleaning up. Michaelbusch 20:07, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] protection against vandalism

Hi, Could you let me know what the policy is on applying a {{vprotected}} tag to a page that is under repeated vandalism? Do regular users need to request an administrator to perform this action? Regards Stu Hacking talk 11:26, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Also, I realise diamond is not a metal, this comment was the resulting abuse from a reversion I did quite some time ago (and as far as I know it's not acceptable to remove comments from ones own talk page). If only users would sign there comments with ~~~~ :-) Cheers Stu Hacking talk 11:32, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] One Piece is a BIG mistake

[edit] Electronic libretto reverts, etc

Thanks for the updates. I've been away for a few days, but it's good to see that you have been trying to deal wioth this vandal. Viva-Verdi 16:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seeking support for keeping reverted text on Ellie Caulkins Opera House

You may recall, back in February, that Usertalk:62.85.192.81 continually reverted my inclusion of significant text about the Electronic libretto system on that article and you came to my support by reverting his/her removals yourself.

Eventually, due to reverts by three or four editors, a consensus was eastablished that this text was valuable, and he/she stopped.

Would you please go to the Ellie Caulkins article and add your support for my position once again? Same person doing the same thing.....

[edit] Venue suggestion needed for a meet-up in Yuen Long

Dear: Microtony ：

In the past meet-ups, we always had our meeting in the centre of Kowloon, either Kowloon Tong or Mong Kok. However, apart from these places, I am sure that alternative venues in other region would be suitable.


This is the time for your suggestion! According to some discussion on Chinese Wikipedia, from August of 2007, the Hong Kong Wikimedians’ meet-up would be held in all districts of Hong Kong in a circulation basis.


Here is the tentative information of the first meet-up：

Date：11, August, 2007 (Saturday)
Time：After 5:00pm
Proposed region：Yuen Long


The community would request for ideas of where we should hold the meet-up , in order to have a better decision. If you have any good ideas, don’t hesitate to give your opinions, million thanks!


Regards,

Hong Kong Wikimedian

[edit] WP:CVU status

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!
