[edit] Warning:Javascript security issue

Hi! I need to inform you that I've protected Wikipedia:WikiProject_User_scripts/Scripts/Sigdash because it allows users to add code to the javascript of other users. If you are an admin, you are still able to edit it, but if you are not an admin, please copy and paste it into your userspace to continue modifying it. We can set up a message at the old javascript page telling users to change their links. If you need help, please contact me or User:Eagle_101. Thanks, --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs 01:48, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A right to vanish request

Hi, I once used my real name as my username. I happen to have a family name which is quite rare in my local language, which subsequently make my full name unique. Due to this silly error, I was once harassed by a fellow wikipedian who digged my personal information from internet. He was subsequently warned. I stopped editing wikipedia actively since then. I would like to request right to vanish so that, at least, my name don't pop up in google search. Am I in the right place to make this request?

[edit] Bot activity

I was going over the list of bots and noticed that ABot (talk · contribs) has not edited in a very long time. Is this bot still active and if not, would you object to it being de-flagged? Please post your comments to Wikipedia_talk:Bots/Requests_for_approval#Dead_bots since this is a rather widely-posted message. MBisanz talk 06:38, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bot policy

There is currently a question over the phrasing in Bot policy about it Bots can empty categories. Way back in 2005 this edit add the clause in question [1], but it doesn't specify what the certain types of person categories are. Do you remember the context of that change? MBisanz talk 00:35, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

The "certain types of person categories" would be those typed as "Non-'Business Card'", per this edit from mid-2005. I might be able to clarify more if you were to tell me where this conversation was taking place, so that I would know exactly what is at issue. While it has been a while, I still do remember a bit about policies concerning bots around that time (considering that that was when I started using mine...). – ABCD 05:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Generally the area about half way throug this section Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Betacommand#Bot_needs_to_be_fixed, you can pick my comments out by my sig. MBisanz talk 05:24, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Personally, I do not remember any reason why automated removal of categories was ever an issue, especially if the reason was that the category does not actually exist. I also cannot find any discussion of the "minor rephrase", which makes it look like it was a unilateral policy change that was not contested, because, at that time, there were many edits being made to the page which were not actually policy changes, as the list of running bots was, at that time, maintained on that page. At this point, it looks like the only reason that wording is still used is due to inertia. – ABCD 05:46, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, the lack of institutional memory is a problem with Wikipedia and I'm glad at least you were around from that era and policy page. MBisanz talk 05:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
