The page is auto-archived by a bot.
If you want to ask me about a page I deleted, please leave me a red link to it. That will make it easier for me to find it and answer you. Please confirm you have the right page by checking the page's deletion log. To link to files (usually images) or categories, please add an extra colon before the namespace name ([[:Category:Example]], not [[Category:Example]]).
Please don't leave me any invitations for WikiProjects. I'm not interested.
If I started a discussion on your talk page, please answer me there, not here, since splitting up the discussion makes it harder to follow. Feel free, however, to leave me a {{talkback|your name}} tag. I'll probably remove it, but that means that I've seen it. If you leave me a message on my talk page, I will answer it here.
If you send me an e-mail, I may post it here, in whole or in part, attributed to the Wikipedia username of the author; However, I will be careful not to post anything which I believe to be private information.

Weird day....

Hey i'm mczack26, im from the i.p. adress

90.204.97.40

Which you just declined, is this a way of verifinging that tilejoin is no longer on this address? There are other people on the network who edit anon.

P.S. It's a sad day when people can't edit anon on wikipedia...

Finding direct uses of categories

The search engine that Wikimedia wikis use (Lucene) supports an incategory: parameter that works only for pages where the category is directly included (versus being included from a template). So, for example, you can do "Martin incategory:Living_people".

Anyway, you wanted to find stub categories that are directly included. However, unfortunately it currently doesn't support wildcards. So I filed bug 18332 for you. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 22:05, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, after thinking about this some more, I may have a better solution. I just need a question answered: do nearly all stub templates end in "stub" and do nearly all stub categories end in "stubs"? If so, this is doable with a database query. --MZMcBride (talk) 22:35, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think tha all the correctly formed stub categories do, in fact, end with "stubs", and that all correctly formed templates do, in fact, in in "-stub". עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 04:59, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. However, there's a caveat emptor here. This report only lists articles where there is a category like "____ stubs" but not a template like "___-stub". So, if an article is directly using a stub category but also has a stub template, it will not be listed in the report. This is the best I could come up with for now. Perhaps some further pondering will produce more results. Though, at the moment there are about 2,700 entries in the report, so you have plenty to work with. :-) Set to update monthly; let me know if you'd like it updated more or less regularly. --MZMcBride (talk) 03:21, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bann

You banned me months ago (I believe)... :) Now I am back. As you see, I still operate from the same IP-adress as I used to. Will this mean that if I make an account, I will get banned right away because of my earlier connections to vandals? Happened to me before, so I wonder... ;) 86.89.146.118 (talk) 15:13, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I never blocked this IP address. If you can tell me which account you operarte from, I may be able to respond about it. Please note that in general, if your account was blocked, then you shouldn't edit unless your account block had expired or been unblocked.
If there is abuse of multipkle accounts from your IP, then a few users with the CheckUser ability will be able to figure this out, and may block accounts which appear to be related to it.

Could you please unblock User:-The Bold Guy-? That was my original account... with it, I did nothing but good edits... It was linked to sockpuppets (which I had admitted to) and after the block was expired they banned the account again right away because "it was linked to sockpuppets". But I had already been blocked (temporarily) for that, and they banned me right away. It must have been a mistake, for I have done nothing wrong ever since. Could you unblock that account for me, Old Misehu? 86.89.146.118 (talk) 13:00, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This block has nothing to do with me. The only interaction I have ever had with -The Bold Guy- was moving a misplaced page into his namespace, and informing him of this move. Feel free to request unblock by e-mailing unblock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org (our unbloick request list), or the Arbitration Committee. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, to must trouble comrade I'd better try to make myself useful as an IP instead! I'm trying my very best now! Hey, if I ever come up with a "cunning plan" to create an article, will you then post it for me since I do not have an account? 86.89.146.118 (talk) 21:52, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
