The good bout wiki is anyone can edit, the bad bout wiki is anyone can edit, the ugly bout wiki is anyone can edit. I am not going recreate the page and deal with your kind again.

User talk:209.160.33.108 just inserted links into an article World Social Forum

It came tonight after your final warning. Ronbo76 06:43, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've reported him to AIV. Flyingtoaster1337 07:16, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cascading protection of salted pages

Cascading protection only works on transcluded pages. You'd have to transclude the pages in question before protection actually kicks. Just linking to them won't work. (Otherwise the featured article would be protected when it appears on the main page). - Mgm|(talk) 13:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Protected title

I've written some documentation for the template at Template talk:Protected title. Please correct any errors as necessary. Flyingtoaster1337 08:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This looks good. Thank you! —David Levy 17:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I found another glitch in the template - the activity log link breaks if the namespace name has spaces. We need to urlencode that as well. :/ So the fixed activity log link part would be: 

<span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Log|page={{urlencode:{{#if:{{{ns|}}}|{{{ns}}}:|}}{{{1}}}}}}} activity log]</span>

Done. Thanks again! —David Levy 17:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two last requests for today...

I promise I won't disturb you for the next five hours or more - I got to sleep soon. :)

But before that I've two requests related to Wikipedia:Protected titles/Spam pages with nonsense titles. The first is to replace the code on that page with the version on the talk page (which I wrote after finally figuring out how {{protected title}} really works). Some of the pages were not protected with the old, incorrect code. The second is to delete Talk:Action potential/index.php, because it got re-created tonight and someone protected it the old way.

Thanks in advance. Flyingtoaster1337 17:48, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Enjoy your sleep!  :-) —David Levy 18:02, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Final cleanup of Template:Protected title

Thank for your continued help! I was unfamiliar with the "lc:" syntax (which certainly streamlines the code).

I'm working on a slightly different implementation of your talk page protection idea, but I wasn't quite able to get it working. I need to sleep, but I'll resume my efforts when I get a chance.

Thanks again!  :-) —David Levy 08:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Speight

Ok if the bio on Tv.com is copyrighted I will rewrite the information. So it is not in berach of copyright. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by NeilEvans (talk • contribs) 15:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

The Hendre

happy to add photos but don't know how to, or the rules re. copyright on Wikipedia. Have a few, poor, photos of my own (non-digital, taken a long time ago. Can these be scanned and uploaded?) Otherwise lots on the web, e.g. home page of the Rolls of Monmouth Golf Club, which now owns The Hendre. Can one just lift from these internet sites? KJP1

WP:AIV

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Removing and reporting 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 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 again to the AIV noticeboard. Thanks. —Xyrael / 11:36, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks

Hi Flyingtoaster and thanks for reverting that nonsense off my user page. This anon has been bothering/stalking me for about a week now and it's all really bizarre and insane; the messages don't even make sense. Do you know if there is anything I can do to stop it? If not, I'll just put up with it until he/she gets bored. Thanks Rossrs 07:14, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

since I left this message, I've noticed identical edits and edit summaries being made by a registered user who I had suspected of also being the anon IP's. I've been working on a sockpuppet submission. Do you think that would be a mistake? I mean, when I thought it was just the anon, I'd been thinking waiting it out might be the way to go, but now I feel a bit differently. Rossrs 09:21, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
thanks again. I appreciate your reply. Rossrs 13:50, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What becomes of our handiwork?

Hmm... it seems that discussion on the protection of titles has died down on Village pump. Some sysops are now using it, some sticking to {{deletedpage}}. Should we TfD {{deletedpage}} to bump everything over to a common system? :o) Flyingtoaster1337 14:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see no need for a TfD debate. It's clear from that discussion that consensus exists for the new system (which obviously is working well), so we should simply make the necessary arrangements to transfer everything over (via bot) and add a notice of deprecation to {{deletedpage}}. —David Levy 14:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
