double standards
If you emphasis on the 3RR rules, why don't you block the user:Huaiwei? here below is his 3RR reverts over the topic of Changi International Airport.
isn't 3RR already and clearly broke (more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period)? I hope it is not a selective punishment/warning! Coloane (talk) 09:53, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- Look-- you've both broken 3RR, but nobody needs to be blocked if the two of you can stop edit warring and discuss. I've left a warning for Huaiwei regarding this as well. --Michael Billington (talk) 10:24, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Re:3RR warning regarding Singapore Changi Airport article
Thank you for the timely warning. I have full faith that basic logic and the consensus-building culture of wikipedia will eventually prevail.--Huaiwei (talk) 10:33, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Turbo C++ 3.0.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Turbo C++ 3.0.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) 06:03, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- Deleted. --Michael Billington (talk) 11:24, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Kraft foods page
Currently Kraft Foods page shows this for me. (1/25 11:20pm central time)
Kraft is now an independent publicly held company. In 2004, Kraft donated 1.2 million dollars to the Taliban.
Since you were recently updating this page and i dont know how you report stuff to be removed please remove this, unless that is there intentionally in which case it should be cited? and probably not be in the opening description. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cashkennedy (talk • contribs) 05:21, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

President of Council of Italy
Hi! I tried to edit the infobox of Silvio Berlusconi because he was President of Council for three times (not two), but I can't: can you help me? Moreover I notice that in the list of the Presidents of Council, everytime one of them has two consecutive offices, it doesn't appear. For example: Berlusconi was president from 2001 to 2005 and from 2005 to 2006. But here it seems he was president only one time from 2001 to 2006. Paolotacchi (talk) 16:19, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hello. I've fixed up the infobox on the Silvio Berlusconi article. As for the list of Italian Prime Ministers, I've made a post on the talk page suggesting that we change the page. If others agree, then I'll fix that up too. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. --Michael Billington (talk) 01:04, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
Images
Thanks for actually answering my tremendously stupid question about the images. :) ~ Bella Swan 01:58, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

TOR block of 121.155.134.110
Hey, I noticed that you've blocked 121.155.134.110, as a TOR node, which, it is no longer. I was wondering, if you'd consider either allowing me to unblock it, or, unblocking it yourself please. SQLQuery me! 09:39, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- I've unblocked it. Have a nice day. --Michael Billington (talk) 10:19, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
Mike's Wiki Tool 0.9.4
Hi! I have been using MWT 0.9.4 for the last few days, have made several hundred edits with it, and like it very much. It seems however that it does not have any function for reporting a user who has had a final warning to AIV. I was wondering if you might be adding this feature to a future update? Also the colour bar turns orange for a user with previous blocks, so I thought perhaps there should be a colour code for users with previous warnings. Thank you for your time. Hennessey, Patrick (talk) 04:46, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- I am hoping that these features will be added at some point in the future. Unfortunately, other wikis do not operate the same way as far as AIV goes, and the current codebase (which is quite different to the the current release) is being made to work cross-wiki, which makes it a little more complicated. I'm hoping when I have a bit of extra time I can add this though. And thanks for the other suggestion-- why didn't I think of that! Cheers. --Michael Billington (talk) 08:01, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! I will be looking forword to these updates. And one more thing I thought of: When the program picks a new edit for me to check, alot of the time it is not the top edit and therefore is not an edit I can fix if needed, so if possible, perhaps MWT could recognise a non-top edit and either move to that article's newest edit or go to another edit altogether? Thanks again. Hennessey, Patrick (talk) 00:36, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- This one's a known problem. It's because MWT only looks at anonymous edits that this hasn't been fixed yet. I need to re-write the recent changes code to fetch all edits from the recent changes IRC channel so that it can figure this out. But I am working on it. (Also-- the whole thing is going to have to be re-written very soon because the developers are removing query.php, so a lot of new features will have to wait). --Michael Billington (talk) 03:02, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- OK, thanks for responding so quickly. Hennessey, Patrick (talk) 10:14, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
