[edit] "VNC Loop" AfD comment and vote request

Sadly enough, the article "VNC Loop" is up for deletion. Your comment and vote is requested for this at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/VNC Loop. Please do not post a reply here as it will not be reviewed by me. Thanks. --Amit 20:35, 21 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] AIV reports

I blocked that IP for a month shortly after you posted the report the first time. Wikipedia does not ban IPs indefinitely. Academic Challenger 22:40, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Perth

I think you'll find its all been through before - check the talk page ! SatuSuro 03:47, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sikhs in Belgium

As you have indicated you withdraw your nomination, I have closed this AFD as Keep and Nom Withdrawn. Regards, Navou banter 23:44, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Want to be adopted?

Hello, I am happy to adopt you if you would like! If you want to know more about me, check my userpage or my entry on the list of adopters (near the bottom). If you want to be adopted by me, either add {{Adoptee|Dev920}} to your userpage or drop me a note at my talkpage. Welcome to Wikipedia! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 18:42, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm delighted! This is a first time adoption for me as well, but I'm sure we'll muddle through.
Basically, you can ask me any questions you want about Wikipedia. You are additionally welcome to ask me for advice or help with anything. I will also, with your permission, keep an eye on your contributions and point out any errors you may be making and/or help you with any problems you may be having. Please ask me if you have any more questions about the adoption. Here's to a happy and helpful adoption! :D Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 22:12, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


Heya! To become an admin, you have to demonstrate a knowledge of Wikipedia policy and have a good editing record. There's no set threshold you have to pass, but generally you have to be on Wikipedia for at least four months with an edit count in the thousands. Being an admin is about doing technical stuff behind the scenes (which is why becoming an admin is often termed "being given the mop") so you also have to have a good number of edits in the Wikipedia: namespace, such as voting on XfDs, contributing to policies etc. The most important thing though, is that the community trusts you to use the tools sensibly. As luck would have it, I'm currently undergoing an RfA right now, see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Dev920. Check out the others too - basically you just need to be a good and helpful editor, and adminship will eventually follow. WP:ADMIN has more about what administrators actually do.

Regarding Floricienta, it appears to be a television series, so you would be allowed a screenshot of one of the episodes or its logo, but probably not any old promotional picture of one of the actresses. Try to find a publicity photo, and you can upload that under fair use, as long as it has a fair use rationale. See Image:Latterdays 001.jpg for how to do this. Fair Use is confusing though, so please come and ask further questions if you don't get something.

Btw, I noticed you nicked my userbox code. :) You might want to change the alignment from center to left, it'll probably look better on your page. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 23:29, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Just want to make sure that you knew that you said I caused the vandalism to Borat which was obviously caused by an IP. Careful with what you put in edit summaries, some users don't take it as well as I did (believe me I've been flamed for this). Gdo01 00:53, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I wish there was some way to undo edit summaries but to my knowledge there is no possible way. Thanks for the quick reply. Gdo01 01:00, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Good handling of the situation. :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 16:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism by 67.42.100.71

Hey. Thanks for your message. Yes, this user does not seem to like big feet very much. :-) If he vandalizes again, he should definitely be reported on WP:AIV. I'm not an admin, so unfortunately I can't do the blocking. Keep up your good vandal-fighting. Thanks, Prolog 21:51, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reporting to AIV before violating warning

Thank you for making a report about 209.7.8.66 (talk · contribs · block log) on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you! —Dgiest c 23:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You doing OK?

Hello, your adopter here. All going well? Btw, you have a sister. :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 10:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image

Usually, if you want to transfer free images between Wikipedias, you simply upload it to the Commons (commons.wikimedia.org), then the image: parameter will work whatever. However your image, which I found here is copyrighted, so you need to download it to your computer, upload it yourself to this Wikipedia and add an approriate licence and fair use rationale. See Image:Latterdays 001.jpg, and adapt it for your own purposes. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 20:55, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, I'm not Charles Matthews or Angela, which leaves... :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 22:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: AIV warning

To be honest I have no clue, I was fixing a broken redirection (seems you can't double redirect a template) on this warning. Perhaps you should check with the user that issued the message to you a month ago? (even if he probably forgot already ;)) -- lucasbfr talk 19:28, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Intrigued

I saw your edit on talk:Don't download this song - why didn't you just remove the trivia yourself? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 16:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

An edit war? Where? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:58, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I just tested it with Template:LGBTproject, and I think you can just create a redirect in the page you want to change the spelling of it, and it'll work fine. See that page for more. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 05:18, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your AfD

"Article sucks", is not a reason to delete. If we deleted every sucky article we'd lose about a million articles. :) What you should have said was that the article did contain any evidence of notability, and had no references to boot, not to mention being poorly written. That's a lot more convincing. See what I mean? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 09:25, 23 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Adoption

Well, you've been adopted for seven months. How you feeling about Wikipedia, think you've got a grip on what we're all about and where to go? Want to stay adopted a bit longer or feeling confident to graduate? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 16:34, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm still around, I'm just taking a step back for a bit to recharge and do other interesting things. :) And if you're okay to graduate, just remove my adoption box on your page (you can replace it with {{AdopteeGrad|Adopter}} if you would like), and do stay in touch. My first adoptee graduating, I'm so proud. :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:28, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
