= in usernames

It appears some people think that ='s aren't a problem, and that users should use the 1= notation, and that bots should be reprogrammed to understand this. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 18:00, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar

		The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		Great job protecting User talk:Antandrus. Now Antandrus can rest more often, since vandals won't vandalize User talk:Antandrus anymore. Amos Han^{Talk to me./Contribs)} 03:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

VPRF

Are there any other VPRF moderators besides you and Prodego? If so, who are they? ~Step trip 21:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Prodego ^talk 23:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal proof (again)

Hi Beta, just wondered if I'm ever going to get accepted onto VP?! The first time there was the problem with the new approval method, but I haven't been approved this time as well! I can access version 1.31 but it always logs out after a few edits, would really like to start using v1.35. Cheers Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 23:41, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers for sorting it, vandal fighting time me thinks. If you or prod ever need help approving users I'm more than happy to help, just point me in the direction of who to do to Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 00:01, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

VP approval list

Was the list just totally wiped with only about half a dozen being approved? --Steve _(Stephen)^talk 23:44, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just wondering the same thing. I don't have a problem if I wasn't accepted, just seeing if emptying the list was intentional. All the best. -GilbertoSilvaFan 23:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Give be a break and some time, Im still working on the approvals, Since vp still has a few bugs and does crash on occasion i dont like doing all the approvals at once instead i approve only a few at a time and work though the list in chunks. Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 23:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you mate, much appreciated! -GilbertoSilvaFan 23:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, every approve we do removes the top user from the list... So there are several people that need to be added back on. Prodego ^talk 00:01, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wait. You need to reload the userlist. You are removing the users I approved, and readded. Prodego ^talk 00:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

removal of link

I would like to question why my link was removed and labeled as "spam". I created the Ultimate Jillian Barberie Club as a fan club on yahoo 6 years ago. I am the current owner of the group and the site along with the LiveJournal group has been linked on wikipedia for quite some time. I would like to please have an explanation for the removal, as I question why a fan club cannot have a link on wikipedia as it provides information about Jillian Reynolds' career such as news and a community based message board which is moderated.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely, Jason Vega Ultimate Jillian Barberie Club Founder/Moderator

see WP:EL under links to avoid #10 about fourms. also see WP:COI and please dont link your site again. Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 23:53, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yahoo groups and Live Journal

I believe that both sites pertaining to Jillian Barberie each have a "discussion forum" and I am asking why my site in particular is being singled out. I do not agree that linking a fan club of any kind is against the Wikipedia guidelines and it should certainly not be labeled as spam.

your not being singled out. any inappropriate link needs removed. see User:Shadowbot's contibs for many more links that are being "singled" out. Also as I said above please read COI you should not add links to your own site. Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 00:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

VP User List

Thanks for the approval - maybe I'm doing something wrong, because it still says I'm not on the approved list. Any ideas? Philippe Beaudette 00:46, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! Same Problem

Dear Betacommand, I've got the same problem. I couldn't login, when I click on verify authorization, it says you are not on the approved list? --Cyril Thomas 01:20, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You So Much

Dear Betacommand, Thank you so much for the approval by adding me to the list. Much appreciated. Best wishes, --Cyril Thomas 01:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Hey, thanks alot for approving me for Vandalproof! You have a nice day now!Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 01:39, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vp Approvals

Hello Beta, I think something went wrong with the (automated?) approval of VP applications, as shown by this diff. Several were removed off the list but not approved nor informed. Thanks for your time. FelisLeo^Talk! 07:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That might be a bug with the vandalproof moderation system. (Yes it is semi-automated, and has been known to have bugs). —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 11:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

VandalProof

Thanks very much. I look forward to some constructive whacking with my new stick. --Dweller 09:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re. VP bug

The bug you are having issues with has been fixed in the 1.36 release, as have several others. Now it's just a question of waiting for User:AmiDaniel to approve it.

You have my apologies for any difficulties it might have caused! Ale_Jrb^talk 12:39, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have to admit, your threat of blocking anyone for removing the notability tag was a serious provocation. In the future, please familiarize yourself with the issue before issuing such a threat and thereby risking an accusation of abuse of admin powers. The tag is frivolous and a clear attempt at edit-warring by certain editors. I'm not going to feed some kind of wheel-war by defying your threat. --Leifern 12:56, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bot request

Beta, you helped me a month or so ago tag a bunch of articles for the College basketball WikiProject. Well, I have another request. Can you have your bot go through Category:National Football League and tag those pages with {{NFLproject|class=}}? Thank you.↔NMajdan•talk 13:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
