Invitation to the Edinburgh Wikimeet

Hi there,

A few of us are planning a wikimeet in Edinburgh and would love to invite you along :-)
Currently, the meetup is planned for Saturday, 7th June starting at around 1pm.
We have a planning and suggestions page located here as well as a space to sign up as an attendee/possible atendee.

Hope to see you there, Astral (talk) 01:13, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

LoL

Huggle download statistics

Next to no one visits my projects website so this is to your advantage because the Website Access Stats give an fairly accurate reading of how many people are downloading huggle, per day and per hour. Just thought you might be interested, and if you really want accurate stats, I could install something to track the downloads specifically. Atyndall93 | talk 10:58, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Re:Huggle

It's nothing to do with yourself in that way. You created a fine tool. But with one or two RfAs in mind, I think that some candidate's are using the tool in order to have a high edit count while doing little else on Wikipedia. Lra drama 14:19, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

No no, a high edit count is a good thing, but only when a user has earned it. Huggle increases ones edit count to a massive amount in a short space of time. This is fine, so long as the candidate branches out into other areas of Wikipedia. But certainly one of the candidate's hasn't done this. I don't think some supporters have looked beyond the edit count, which can thus me misleading. Lra drama 14:23, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Neither you or your tool is bad. I meant... Lra drama 14:31, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Gurch my good friend. :-) I have re-written the essay. Those lot at RfA where I raised the issue could seem to grasp what I was getting across, so I've re-done the whole thing. Sorry if it seemed like an attack on you or your tool, it wasn't meant to be like that. Whatever, it got blown way out of proportion... Lra drama 16:18, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

That's a good idea. I think age of account & presence of an approval list are the most significant of those. Tools like this are always best in hands of those who are experienced and thus capable. :-) Lra drama 19:52, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

~~Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia.~~ However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to User:Mellie. Readers looking for serious articles will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write (almost) whatever you want. Mellie ❤ 13:05, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't apply, that template is for joking in article namespace. However, the following do:

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thank you.
Constructive contributions are appreciated and strongly encouraged, but your recent edit to the userpage of another user may be considered vandalism. If you are the user, please log in under that account and proceed to make the changes. Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thank you.

But don't forget WP:DTTR! Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 17:09, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank You

Thanks for Huggle!

I have always liked fighting vandalism, but recently lupins tool for doing so began to play up more and more (Couldn't rollback, slow updates, 2 minutes wait for reverts). In short, i stopped with it for a while and moved to new page patrol instead.

Until yesterday that is. Sweet mercy, how much do i love one key vandalism patrol now! I can work about a factor 3 faster then i could before, and at the same time i can check each and every edit, not just filtered edits with swears. This tool is sure a major leap in vandalism fighting on Wikipedia, so what else can i do then drop in and give a well meant "Thanks!" for that?

Oh, now i am here anyway.. Why is there such a sad face on your talk page? I hope this flower will cheer it up! :) Excirial ^{(Talk,Contribs)} 19:13, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

The face is now sad during the day and happy at night. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 17:55, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

But it's night now, and I'm sad :( -- Gurchzilla (talk) 19:12, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

For you gurch!

Huggle categorization

Well I only did 4 to see if you wanted them categorized. :) Anyway. If you decide you want them categorized, let me know. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 00:30, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Template: atn

How can I modify this so it works in my userspace? I currently have a copy and pasted version here, along with the Prev, Next, and Last templates, for use in the modification. Please reply on my talk page. thankyou for your time.— Dæ dαlus^T@lk / Improve\ ^Contribs 10:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Great.. thank's for the help anyways. Do you know of a way I can have navigation?— Dæ dαlus^T@lk / Improve\ ^Contribs 19:19, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

^_^

I still haven't thought of anything mean enough to get you back for the subcutaneous emphysema stunt, but rest assured I'm working on it. Until I do, have some unspecified affection + *huggles snuggles cuddles*. Also, allow me to vent: we got all our worldly possessions into the van only to find that the battery was dead! Aaargh! Talk to you soon I hope. delldot talk 06:53, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Mistake?

Hi Gurch, what is this [2] revert all about. I guess this was a little huggly miss? :). Apart from that, if it is an unintentional miss, could there be something wrong with the user whitelist? I am pretty sure i am on that list, and as far as i know, it should ignore/prevent reversions from trusted users. Excirial ^{(Talk,Contribs)} 18:16, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

After making some changes to Huggle, I was testing they worked correctly... and evidently they didn't. I intended to revert myself immediately afterwards but someone who was still trying to revert the original vandalism using "undo" did it for me -- Gurchzilla (talk) 19:11, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I already expected something along that line, as you are one of the last i expect to vandalize. Well, good luck with solving this problem then, and if you ever need another test target for something, feel free to aim at me :). Excirial ^{(Talk,Contribs)} 19:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Now, Gurch, as I was saying about people using automated tools not checking who they're templating... — iridescent 22:14, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Dynamic IP

Hello Gurch -- I recently received a revert note from you about Zahra Ahmadi wiki page -- I am on a dhcp assigned IP address from my ISP and can assure you (as I checked) -- I only received the lease this morning and as such can not be the person responsible for the vandalism.

Seems quite immature to me -- I shall be passing on your comments to my ISP if they wish to follow this up thats their call.

I wish there was a more reliable way to respond back to (or identify even) the editors of wikipages than simply by IP address. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.3.124.73 (talk) 13:58, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Umm.... you actually don't have to do that... if the the person that had your IP address keeps vandalizing, we will forward the case to the Abuse Reports department and they will contact your ISP. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 18:10, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Look forward to talking to you my friend. Until then, affection to tide you over: *hugs snuggles cuddles*. delldot on a public computer talk 22:59, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
