I am currently on a Wiki Leave of Absence, and may not check on the Wikipedia for long periods of time. I am best reachable by email should you need my attention. --AllyUnion (talk) 10:55, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- I've been buried under work. Please still continue to email me using the Wiki form. Thanks. --AllyUnion (talk) 09:52, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- I also have a desk for any open tasks, such as bot requests and such. --AllyUnion (talk) 10:18, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
New comments to the end of the page please. Otherwise, I will ignore and/or revert your edit. -- AllyUnion I have every right to blank out your comments because this is my User page. If you have a complaint about it, too bad... deal with it. -- AllyUnion
- Furthermore, a note to administrators: My user page and user talk page is protected from page moves. We still have a page move vandal running amok, and I don't see why anyone other than myself would need to move my User page. -- AllyUnion (talk) 23:41, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Page blanking
Sorry for any confusion. I archived the page for you. Just trying to help Thedjatclubrock :) 22:06, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
- While I applaud your efforts to keep the Wikipedia clean, I have my own methods of archiving, and would appreciate that you don't archive anything. --AllyUnion (talk) 09:49, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
O.K. I'm sorry. It said leave of absence so I was just trying to help. Sorry for any confusion. Thedjatclubrock :) 22:41, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template cleanup
Hello. It seems that at some point you used a bot to create a series of calendar templates for the years 2004-2025, with multiple years for every month. Would you have any objection to me deleting the templates beyond the year 2009? Here's my logic: the templates are currently non-transcluded, and essentially orphaned. They show up in the list of untranscluded templates and I've been working hard to try to clean out the Template namespace. Along the same lines that we don't have articles for far future events, I can't see any legitimate use of a template for April 2025. If you'd prefer that I archive them in some way before deleting them, I'd be happy to oblige, but I truly believe that they don't need to be in the Template namespace. Thoughts? Cheers. --MZMcBride 01:41, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
- I only created them so that when it came to 2025, we didn't have to make them. If you want to delete them, that's fine, because when they are needed, I suppose we can just simply restore them. I think anything after 2009 can be subject for deletion -- so long as they can be restored at a later point. --AllyUnion (talk) 08:39, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Classification of admins
Hi AllyUnion. Please consider adding your admin username to the growing list at Classification of admins. Best! -- Jreferee t/c 22:55, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Help
User:Brian0324 and Anietor continue to rollback a new paragraph I added in the article Christianity in China, and by contrast they rollback their POV. I've tagged them in their talk page, but please help me! --Xi Zhu (talk) 19:46, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- Sigh...there are actually at least 3 editors trying to get Xi Zhu to discuss his edits, but he just inserts them, usually as POV unsourced material. He then keeps vandalizing our user talk pages. He's going to get blocked if he keeps doing that, and all we want to do is engage him in a discussion. If you can get him to calm down and discuss, that would be appreciated! Thanks. --Anietor (talk) 20:06, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Category bot
Hi. I found your page while look for bot that can automatically scans and moves pages from categories marked with {{categoryredirect}} to the correct category. I'm planning to run such a bot on id.wikipedia. I asked user:selket if he can share the source code, but still no answer. If I not mistake, User:NekoDaemon can also do that. Can you share the source of your bot? Thanks. (btw sorry for bad english). borgx (talk) 14:47, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect of Dark Pokémon
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Dark Pokémon, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Dark Pokémon is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Dark Pokémon, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] Sandbot
Is there a "master copy" for what the sandbox and, specifically, the template sandboxes get reset to? A change has been requested that would seem to require this to be altered. —Random832 16:58, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- I have no idea whether the Sandbot is still operating at this point. I presumed it was broken. --AllyUnion (talk) 23:12, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] NotificationBot & AFD Bot
I was going over the list of bots and noticed that NotificationBot (talk · contribs) & AFD Bot (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 20:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Various proposals
Just so I don't make things bad. Do you want users to respond under the proposals at Wikipedia_talk:Bots/Requests_for_approval#Proposal:_Problematic_bots_should_use_the_RFC_process or just at the end in their own bulleted section? MBisanz talk 07:36, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- I was trying to organize and separate out the issues with the policy and proposals into individual sections so the discussion can be broken down. Thus, when someone comes to read it, they get an immediate idea of what's going on without the complete need to look through all the discussions. And yes, I would prefer users to respond to proposals under its own section. --AllyUnion (talk) 11:34, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re: BetaCommand 2 RfA
Hi -- I just read your comments on this RfA, & wanted to tell you that I believe you've stated the problem (or at least one of them) accurately & succinctly. I've worked off & on for the last few years as a contractor at a major semiconductor manufacturing corporation that you may have heard of (hint: they're a competitor with AMD), most recently supporting a set of software performance tools written by developers for developers, & what you have said is true. Although many developers do not fit in any manner the stereotype, I can attest it can be a challenge on one hand to get a developer as a user to provide a reproducable test case to troubleshoot, while on the other convincing a developer to actually fix a proven bug -- or providing crucial information for understanding what is going on in the code! (Although this was not the only problem here, which is why I'm considering commenting in this RfA.) -- llywrch (talk) 16:40, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] California photo requests now by County
I saw your name at Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Photographers. I just spent the past few days moving all the California photo requests into County categories to make it easier for photographers to locate requests in the locations where they take photos. Please consider monitoring and adding your name to the list at Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Los Angeles County, California as well as the other counties in Southern California.
