Is it possible to write a function for an export of the list in Wiki-Syntax #[[ ]] / Diskussion: ? I would find it great.

Edit counter

Hi TParis! Looks like the edit counter you've developped doesn't work anymore, at least when the lang parameter is set on fr. For instance, I'm having it working properly when I want to have a look at my edit counts on the English Wikipedia, but it's not when I'm doing the same on the French one. I just wanted to let you know... Have a great day. --Koui² (talk) 09:06, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

It's the toolserver, not the script. Nothing I can do.--v/r - TP 14:04, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

TParis can you help?

TParis its Dale Embry. Thanks for your service to our country. I started a wiki for Rick Hendrix while my tenure at Rick Hendrix Company and after leaving I attempted to keep it up. People have recently decided to deleted the page. Would you be able to remove the deleted page from public view? I have pleaded my case with these other folks and they no longer email or correspond. I dont care if they think Mr Hendrix isnt worthy of a page-But their comments and opinions should not be a page about him searchable thru Google either. Please advise me or help me.

TP, could you please read [1] when you get a chance. Thanks.  little green rosetta(talk)

You may want to have WP:OPP make sure it's not an open proxy, but not all closed proxies require authentication. Some are network based.--v/r - TP 20:16, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

I already confirmed its closed, or else I would have requested it be be blocked. Closed proxies do by defintion require auth, but its usually based upon the EID. How was the WOW fest?  little green rosetta(talk)

Not so good. I was hoping we'd get to lvl 88 by last night so we could knock out lvl 90 by Sunday. But we only got to 87 and a half.--v/r - TP 21:26, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

I'd prefer to be rescued by the Army rather than the Air Force, but I'll take what I can get. My Army unit was stationed at an Air Force base in Germany, and all I can say is that the USAF treats itself well.  :-)Anythingyouwant (talk) 21:11, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Yes, we do ;)--v/r - TP 21:26, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

On another matter, my user page says that I'm retired. However, this IP controversy and others have led me to come out of retirement, temporarily. So, if you think the retired template at my user page is misleading, would you please fix? I can't.Anythingyouwant (talk) 03:53, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Many folks edit with a retired template. If your return becomes permanent, let me know and I'll look into unprotecting your page.--v/r - TP 13:11, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Okay, thanks.Anythingyouwant (talk) 15:24, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:The Lost Queen.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:The Lost Queen.jpg. 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:08, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Do you see what you have caused?

You contributed to a new edit war here by failing to adhere to long standing protocol regard RfC's. The section is now open to clear editing while an RfC is ongoing greatly increasing the odds of an all out edit war. I am now obligated to add further Ryan's response to this incident. Arzel (talk) 21:22, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

He set a trap and it worked. Now he can single me out for punishment. His behavior does not meet the minimum requirements for an admin. I'm StillStanding (24/7) (talk) 23:01, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Arzel, if you think for a moment that I am at all taking any blame in the actions of others, you've got a serious misunderstanding of my philosophy on life. You, sir, are responsible for your own actions. No one on that article held a gun to your head and forced you to engage in that war. You were under no obligation except to the kneejerk reactions of your feelings. I'm not here to hold your hand, my job here is to ensure the stability of these articles.--v/r - TP 23:18, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

• TP, I know you were doing what you thought was best and your actions were probably right, but I think you should seriously consider stepping away from the Paul Ryan article, because of the combination of issuing sanctions while being involved, and goldlocking the article when there was a consensus not to. Oh, and in case you hadn't heard, there's an ANI going on about the whole topic. pbp 00:05, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
  • There are no issues with me being involved. You should read the policy WP:INVOLVED clearly. There has never been a consensus to not block the article in the heat of an edit war. It's only locked for a week. Did you misread the protection?--v/r - TP 00:08, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

For my part, I say: good job, mostly. I deserved from my last edit, Arzel did from before, SS was ill-considered to remove instead of fixing. I do, however, think that TTAAC should have gotten just a warning; I appreciate the good faith of his edit. And your biggest mistake was missing Toa_Nidhiki05. Since it was a first offense perhaps just a warning, but he was clearly part of it. Cheers, Homunq (talk) 01:27, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I think you've behaved the best on the article overall and it sucks that you've been caught up in this. I did warn Toa Nidhiki05 though. The sanctions require that an editor is warned of the article probation before they can be sanctioned by them so my hands were tied with him. But I agree he was part of it.--v/r - TP 01:35, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
