Normally I will answer on your talk page, unless you request otherwise; I will normally check both pages. If you are editing whilst not logged in, I will reply both on my talk page and yours to increase the chance that you see the message (talk messages to IPs sometimes get lost). I will keep most comments posted on the page, but I reserve the right to refactor comments, archive comments, and trap excessively long signatures in modified AfD closing boxes. I may also use {{RPA}} when appropriate. --ais523

Spam links (2)

Dear Sir,

I have received a message from you informing me of the deletion of 'spam links' inserted by me and am very distressed by being termed as such. I think it only proper to clarify my actions as well as know how I can add links without running foul of Wikipedia policy which I can assure you I respect as much as anybody. My goal is to to make quality content available free for use, very much in line with your 'copyleft policy' of which I stronly advocate. I also intend to upload content onto Wikipedia in the near future.

Mine is a personal website on themes on India and "Paintings on Stamps'(Art and Philately being my passion). It is my endevour to make my site an educational reference site, and therefore have taken care to add content from really authentic sources.

You must be aware than content on India and Philately is still very scarce on the internet and needs to be seen in that context. I request you to see my site in detail and then decide if it is unique, different and detailed enough to merit a link. I have added links when I have felt that it genuinly adds value and information from another angle on the page thay are placed on

I do agree that the links that I have added are from my personal site which also bring in more persons to read my contents but that is not the only reason nor the primary one.Although the site has Ads from Google, Amazon, let me assure you the income is very secondary and anyway hardly covers my hosting cost.

While I respect your policy not to make Wikipedia a collection of links and endorse it, I think it would be a mistake to 'throw the baby out with the bath tub'. There must be a way to add genuine links after due scrutiny by experienced editors (as in the case of DMOZ). Please do tell me how I can do so without running foul with Wikipedia policy.

Please get the spam tag off even if it means removing all my links, which I have done without fully understanding Wikipedia policy

I shall be grateful for your time and advice on the matter.

With kind regards,

ID:Vstata

technical status?

You write the "Bugs, Repairs, and Internal Operational News" section for Signpost so maybe you can answer a question for me. Where do I look for status on dumps being resumed? Last I heard they were suspended because of disk space or something. RJFJR (talk) 16:39, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. RJFJR (talk) 18:36, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

adminrights ping

User:Proto has been renamed (or at least the admin bit has been transferred from it) to User:Fish and karate. Both are missing from User:Ais523/adminrights.js. Everyme 12:39, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Username highlight

Hi. I'm considering adding the following request to Wikipedia:Gadget/proposals. Would you have any objections/suggestions/clarifications/etc? (reply here is fine) Thanks :) -- Quiddity (talk) 19:20, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

sample proposal text:

I'd like to propose turning User:Ais523/highlightmyname2.js into a Gadget. It highlights instances of a user's own username (example screenshot). This results in more easily quick-scanned talkpages, when searching for replies to one's own comments. It also helps eliminate one of the draws for colorful/distracting signatures (see for examples User:Athaenara/Gallery) that increasingly clutter up talkpages.

Note: At this stage I'm just asking for feedback about the overall-idea, not the implementation details; I'm not a js-coder so cannot speak for that, and ideally the specific highlight-color would be easily user-customized. -- Quiddity (talk) 19:20, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

No objections; it should work fine. (Make sure you use higlightmyname2, the original is 'better' in a sense but badly messes up some commonly-used browsers so is unsuitable as a Gadget.) I could probably make the colour customisable via CSS (the same way adminrights.js works), but that wouldn't be trivial to use. --ais523 21:22, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
