For some reason, it isnt updating, but so you know, just add Category:Wikipedians who use StatusBot to your userpage. Once it's up and running ill send you a message. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 21:15, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

== August 2007 ==

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Beagle. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. GrooveDog (talk) (Review) 16:42, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

If you had bothered looking at the article in question, you would see that in fact MY edits were reverted three times, not vice versa. ie I was the victim of a wRR reverter, not the perpetrator. You would also see my note on the talk page that it was not a sufficiently important issue for me to push any longer and that I would not make any further edits to the article (and have not done so). You might also see that I had explained my edit in each edit summary, plus left a rationale on the article talk page. The reverting editor in contrast have no edit summary on 2 of 3 of his edits and did not respond to my talk page comments until after breaking the 3RR rule. I ceased editing the article and stated on the talk page my intention to longer edit the article prior to your vexatious, tardy and unwarranted threat, which I have now deleted from my talk page. I consider your message undeserved harassment and do not wish to receive any further messages from yourself. Any further messages left by yourself on my talk page will be considered harassment and will be reported to a moderator. If you continue you may be blocked from editing. Get your facts right before threatening people. - PocklingtonDan (talk) 06:08, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, considering the page wasn't deleted, a deletion review isn't really going to help anyone. The TFD was withdrawn because it had become moot. Might I point out that the actual list of issues people want wider attention on is this long? >Radiant< 08:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi- totally unfamiliar with the communication systems here, so apologies if this isn't the correct channel- ref 'HERBERTTURBOT' its 2 rhyming words, a name and a fish, as repeated endlessly by my 2 yr old Son- what were you thinking?? Please elucidate. A little concerned (maybe this WWW is just a little too weird and suspicious for us normal folk??)- Please advise how to remove all my contact and registration details from this site, its too strange and too upsetting; I will go back to letter writing with people I know. TOO BAD.

Many thanks for opening my eyes to this and kind kind regards- DB (HERBERT TURBOT)

Re: Backlog Drive

Thanks for the awards, and thanks many times more for organizing this whole thing. Without your idea, we'd still be swimming through over a year of backlog, I'm sure. Now we're down to only a couple months, which can be easily mass-moderated after a quick look-over. I know you've already gotten one award for starting it, but with all the work that got done, it really doesn't seem sufficient. So here you go...

		The Articles for Creation Barnstar
		Your backlog drive was a resounding success, and something the WikiProject sorely needed. Your quick thinking and motivational skills went above and beyond what anyone could have expected, and were critical to the amount of articles the drive reviewed, as well as the year's worth of backlogged archives that are now cleared. You share the credit for every one of the 4756.49 articles that got reviewed. Congratulations for a job extraordinarily well done. Hersfold (t/a/c) 15:22, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Just like to second this all. Many thanks for the barnstar, but also organising the thing. I will keep going and try and get rid of more of the backlog. Theone00 18:42, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Hear, hear. Great job! henrik•talk 19:22, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

My comments at mediation cabal

Please accept my appology for having to oppose your nomination for mediating on the Relevance issue. I think that this is too difficult of a tangle for a first time mediation. On a side note, I read your editor review in progress; it seems very premature for someone with four months at the project to be seeking admin. powers. Clearly this is my personal opinion, but hang around and learn the ropes for a while -- don't try to rush things in life too much. Cheers! --Kevin Murray 17:09, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

fyi

I have now --of course-- deleted the article you speedy tagged, & removed some additional vandalism by the same ed., whom I am watching. Thanks for the catch. DGG (talk) 19:12, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Comments

Hello. I see you commented on the Paul Bouche article. Firstly, thank you. Secondly, could you also comment on the Ed Trice and Brian Sidney Bembridge articles? Thanks. Happy editing! --Boricuaeddie 21:57, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi Groovedog,

thanks for the awards you gave me - the bronze wiki. However on User talk:Graeme Bartlett you seem to have put the goldenwiki instead of the Bronzewiki symbol. Do you want to fix this yourself since you were the master of ceromonies for this event! Graeme Bartlett 01:01, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Geography of Manitoba

Hi! I had written a note about the above article on the talk page of WikiProject Manitoba. The problem with talk pages like that is that no one is watching them. The note is self explanatory. If anyone in the project is interested in the geography aspect, that article could use work. I did a bit but it needs a real effort. Cheers! --Stormbay 22:21, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Wilhelmstrasse

I congratulate your courage in closing the discussion at Talk:Wilhelmstraße. However, did you review the arguments as well as counting heads? Please explain to me what valid arguments you see to keep it where it is; because I genuinely see nothing but "It's correct German" and WP:ILIKEIT. (Haukur's statistical efforts merely reduce the predominance from 90% to perhaps 75%). Use of a local official name is deprecated by WP:NCGN, except where the predominant name in English is unclear.

Bot delivery

That would be great actually. I just figured out the AWB the other day. I usually try to get the newsletter done by the first of the month. I have never used a bot before so you'd have to fill me in a bit more or we can work as a team somehow. Let me know what your thoughts are and how to go about doing this, thanks.--Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC 20:30, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Just the link because when I first sent the newsletter out in June there was some dissatisfaction with having the full newsletter on users discussion pages. It is quite a large sized newsletter and takes up a big chunk of a page if placed there. So I will make a reminder for myself to let you know once a month when I send it out, thanks again, one less thing for me to do. At least with the AWB I wasn't having to goto each persons page this last time, that used to take me forever.--Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC 20:36, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

RE:Denied request for bot

Hi,

I am new to this, but would like to know more info on bots. The reason for requesting for one was for vandals and trolls removing our WikiProject Dravidian civilizations template from over 120 of our related sites pertaining to the subject matter. Furthermore, if there is someone who could coach me on bots or if there is a page where I could read more about how they are used it would very much be appreciated. Regards. Wiki Raja 07:35, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

IP vandalism

Hi, I noticed a few months ago that you warned User:209.254.126.2 about vandalism. The same IP has recently made a ton of vandalism on Charlie Frye, as you can see here. Just wanted to let you know.►Chris Nelson 17:21, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

admin?

hello i was watching your editing not logged in. you do some good editing in articles and in wikispaces. i registered so i could nominate you. do u want to be an administrator. Doggyer 16:11, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

account hacking?

I posted a message on a help page re this problem, and was advised that a checkuser might be applicable... I'm not sure how to go about this, however.

Essentially, my problem is as follows. I logged into my wiki account this morning to discover that a dozen or more spurious, non-existent, and in some cases offensive pages had been added to my list. I duly deleted these and changed my password immediately. However, as a few other people do have access to my computer, I'd simply like to establish whether this was an 'inside job', as it were, or the work of some third-party, external hacker. Is there any way of establishing the ip address used when the unwanted alterations were made to my watchlist, and also, the time/date at which these changes were made? Any advice greatly appreciated.Snowbunni 20:00, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

WP:AFC Backlog Drive

WikiProject Articles for creation needs your help!

WikiProject Articles for creation has done a tremendous job in working at WP:AFC over the past 7½ months. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication! Together, we've made the submission process easier and more streamlined, developed tools to make the process go faster for reviewers, and cut the backlog down to a mere fraction of what it once was. Well done! As you all are aware, however, our work is not quite yet done. The project still has 10 archive pages left to complete, which include over half a month's worth of submissions, many of which have not been completely reviewed. We need your help to finish looking over these neglected submissions so that we can finally remove the backlog notice from the page, and put an end to the more than two year old backlog that has been a thorn in our side for ages! Participants will receive an AFC Barnstar, so hurry up and help out while there's still work to be done! Make sure to sign in on the WikiProject's talk page so we know who is involved in what promises to be our final effort to complete this goal. Thank you for all your help! - Happy editing as always, Hersfold (t/a/c) 16:33, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:PepsiLogo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:PepsiLogo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
