Um. Wow? I know that they're mostly spelling corrections and cleanup stuff, but there are still '''17100''' distinct Wikipedia pages that owe their current state in some part to either you or your spellchecker. You've also uploaded a part of the dictionary and made your AWB settings available to all. When I posted a problem, you had it fixed within 30 minutes. Anyway, you get this: |

Your edit to Aylesbury Grammar SchoolMboverload, You have removed a fair amount of information from this article as you say it "belongs on the school website and can easily change". You removed information about the inter-house competitions and the school timetable. Can you elaborate on this please, as I don't see where you're coming from. The house competitions are a fundamental element of the school's life which have been taking place for over 300 years. It is an interesting and relevant piece of the article. Indeed, it would seem strange to keep the information about the houses but not the two events which they, to be honest, exsist for. Do you agree? The events run each year, and so the holder of each trophy is unlikely to "easily change". The school timetable, whilst perhaps slightly less noteworthy of inclusion I admit, is nonetheless a piece of information relevant to the school, and again, can you explain why it is "easily changeable and therefore belongs on the school's website"? I would appreciate it if you would make your intentions and wishes clear on the article's talk page in future so that some consensus may be achieved before such a major edit is done. Regards, Victor Greenstreet 09:54, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
WarningYou're just a little kid. You impose your point of views on others by deleting true statements and labeling them POVs when they are really just reference to growing concerns.

Helping out with the AWB spellcheck listHi there, I saw that you run the commonly used AWB spellcheck list. I tried to start one of my own, with the intention of creating a massive tool (the settings.xml file is about 250kb! See User:Draicone/DSCL) but it didn't quite work, for reasons I'm still trying to figure out. Instead, with your permission I'd like to either adapt your script to suit my massive spellchecking options (I'll add case-sensitivity, ideally) or help out with yours (adding entries, really) to make it more complete. --Draicone (talk) 08:23, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
AWBYour AWB software is currently creating typos/problems in articles. See List of songs about drugs, World Trade Center, Timeline of trends in music (1960-1969), and I am sure there are others. Please fix these problems and modify your software to not break image links/correct typos in proper names. Thanks Schicksal 01:05, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Note: AWB has been updated and all problems here have been 100% fixed and will never happen again. --mboverload@ 08:35, 15 July 2006 (UTC) spellingFor what it's worth: "causality" and "casualty" are two different words. "Casualty" is a disaster, or a person lost through disaster. "Causality" is the relation between a cause and its effect. - Nunh-huh 06:25, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Bot Account & AWBHi, I noticed from the AWB pages that you use a bot account and run AWB on it preforming edits. I was thinking about doing this for myself. Would i need to create a new account, request bot status on it (would this be done from my main user account?), and then request AWB authorisation on it? Cheers
Deleting vandal warningThanks for that. --Guinnog 21:55, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
Quick QuestionCan you make your spamlist include the timestamp? Not having the stamp sort of F***s up Wernabot's archiving. Alphachimp talk 04:57, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Please be careful with your AutoWikiBrowser spellchecker.Hi Mboverload, Twice now you've incorrectly changed "attendent" to "attendant" at French conjugation, and twice I've had to revert the change. Please try to pay more attention to the changes your AutoWikiBrowser spellchecker is suggesting, and don't make the changes when they're incorrect. Thanks in advance! Ruakh 11:51, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
hithank u for acknowledging me for my contributions to nellore.I would like to stay back and prevent vandalism and any unsubstantiated postings here.Can u help me how to post pics and arrange them in order?
Hydnjo's response to the blocking proposalI thank one and all - Jarandal, Antandrus, Titoxd, Xaosflux, TenOfAllTrades, mboverload, PseudoSudo, Knowledge Seeker, Haukurth, Deathphoenix, Zzyzx11, Tyrenius, Zscout370, AnnH, Rick Block, Tyrenius (again), Zscout370 (again) and NoSeptember for your support. To Jeffrey O. Gustafson who initiated this block request I ask why? We have had no interaction until now so how do you come to this requested action at WP:AN? Did you come across my account during your own research or are you acting as a proxy for another admin/user with whom I've caused to be angry with me? In reviewing your contributions I see no such "letter of the law" before now and so I feel singled out by you and I have no clue as to why - that to me is most disturbing. If you've come to this action on your own then should I be always wary of another admin challenging the legitimacy of my account? For TenOfAllTrades who advised me not to worry and Rick who made me laugh I give special thanks, you've helped me to not take this so personally. And to Jeff, thanks for being courteous in informing me of your action and for letting me feel that your heart wasn't for blocking me. I wanted to say all of this before it all goes to archive heaven. I still have a lingering concern that this may arise again and don't want to go through WP life looking over my shoulder or worrying that I might piss-off some admin and cause another inquiry about the legitimacy of my account. If any of you who have been so gracious as to take the time to support me here have any suggestions to prevent such an action, please drop your thoughts on my talk or by email. Finally, on a personal note to all, I never ever expected so much supportive response from all of you. I know that I've been moody at times and have spoken in ways that I have regretted the next day. I hoped otherwise but it seemed that those unfortunate responses might end up being my legacy as they were the foremost in my mind. And so far as this being a "role account", I think that I'll let the descriptions of AnnH and NoSeptember (both above) stand as the most intuitive descriptions of this account. My (and our) warmest regards to all of you for your understanding and outward support for the continuation of hydnjo's user account and future contributions. Again, my delighted and humble thanks :-) --hydnjo talk 02:03, 18 July 2006 (UTC) addendum: Jeff, I was confused at the outset in that I wasn't aware of the "role account" policy and then after becoming aware I was frustrated that I had made so many edits which could mislead someone to the conclusion that my account was a role account. I'm sorry that in my zeal to understand your actions that I posed the possibility that you were acting at someone else's behest. I have no evidence of that and it was improper of me to even mention that such a bizarre conspiracy was possible. I find myself guilty of "blaming the messenger" and posting an inappropriate comment about your motivation. As for my account, I want to state that it is not a role account and I apologize for leaving the impression that it is one. "hydnjo" is the signature that I commonly use for much of my correspondence and thought it to be appropriate when I first started my WP account. The portmanteau is an acknowledgment of our shared existence and not an indication that Heidi and I share in editing at WP. I thank you for your courtesy in informing me at the outset of the discussion at WP:AN and for your compliments about my contributions. The comments in my response were made in the shadow of my own frustration with my having left a trail of edits that could easily be construed as having come from either Heidi or myself. I sincerely apologize to you for making any suggestion as to your motivation in bringing up a legitimate policy question. You have a genuine concern for the orderly behavior of our editors and I thank you for initiating this discussion and providing me the opportunity to explain the nature of my account. --hydnjo talk 18:57, 18 July 2006 (UTC) Talk:The Frosties KidHey there, thanks for the putting the explanatory template on Talk:The_Frosties_Kid. Might you also possibly place "No Personal Attacks" warnings on the talk pages of those who are still violating this daily? I refuse to engage in discussion with these kids as long as they continue the incivility. wikipediatrix 03:16, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I was a few days too late. Now I have a favor to ask. I'm seeing another RfA potentially get scuttled by a disingenuous opposition that's got everyone else nodding their heads in concern. See Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Andypandy.UK, especially supporting comment #60 and my response to opposing comment #15. Do you mind taking a look at this? --A. B. 08:25, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Re: AWB regextypofixHi, I have been informed of something I have just started using your spelling list, and it makes the edit summary strange <summary text="Limited spellcheck + unicode + minor fixes using mboverload's RegExTypoFix with AWB" /> <summaryindex index="Limited spellcheck + unicode + minor fixes using mboverload's RegExTypoFix with AWB" /> It ends up with With AWB using AWB Do you think the with AWB should be removed?

The Frosties Kid Discussion pageDiscussion pages are there to assert different points of view whether we agree with them or not. Tagging some discussion pages are fine but deleting whole sections of DISCUSSION????? is this good faith - you have never contributed to the space and you have even deleted comments made by another ADMIN - just tell me why??? Mike33 09:28, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
ok i meant that you edited The Frosties Kid several times during the last few hours and removed several paragraphs see edit [[2]] and your later edit [[3]] - Those paragraphs of the discussion pages included comments from other admins. why were they removed? why were they not removed by admins who had commented to the articles? I thought that talk pages should only be edited by original users changing spelling :-Z Mike33 09:48, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Ste4k RfCI am compiling information for an RfC regarding user:Ste4k's behavior. Frankly, there is a lot to document. I thought you might be more familir with the talk page formatting and edit warring issue than I am. If you're interested in contributing, the draft is at User:Will Beback/Sandbox. I've drawn up an outline of the talk page issues, but it needs to be filled-out. Feel free to add to it as you see fit.

Spell checkingHi. While looking at your contribs (I wanted to see the new AWB edit summary in action) I think I might have found a botch in your spell checking regexes: See this edit. I think it should be "copyrighted" (if at all). Cheers. --Ligulem 14:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Yay - 2nd uploaded 0.0.7 works :D Reedy Boy 14:28, 22 July 2006 (UTC) Roma People IllustrationYou will find if you look at the history of the 'Roma People' page that verifiable images of Roma People were put in, just not in one self-contained image. They were removed and replaced with the current unverifiable image. What you might not notice is that the current image has not been verified since it was uploaded over seven months ago. This was pointed out on the image's talk page but someone has not only deleted all reference to this but also deleted the history of this discussion. It remains a legitimate warning that putting the current picture on the 'Roma People' page is vandalism because it is not verifiable (one of the three requirements for ALL Wikipedia content). The four pictures themselves that make up the 'FamousRoma.JPG' illustration could be put there, but I think you'll find that some very politically motivated vandals (e.g. Improv) will not only remove it and replace it with an unverifiable image but also block anyone who takes issue with the current picture.DoubleSpacing 15:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks?Hey thanks for the spelling changes to the article I pretty much wrote. I wrote that article in huge chunks, so I'm not surprised that I had some spelling errors. However, since my spelling sucks somehing awful, I don't really bother anymore. There are enough gnomes and bots to do that. Anyway, thanks. --Clyde Miller 20:30, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
regextypofixhey mboverload. just wanted to warn you, be real careful with making a 100% 'foolproof' spellchecker. i've been spellcheck'n for quite a while now, and it ain't possible. i've made over 23,000 spelling corrections thus far, and hell if i don't get a monkey wrench in there once in a while. other than that, keep up the good work. :) JoeSmack Talk 04:38, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Just a thought, instead of "reverting blatant promotion" which really wasn't promotion at all, would it perhaps have been more constructive for you to edit what you considered "blatant promotion" so that the paragraph was acceptable, instead of removing it entirely? - pm_shef 20:38, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Signature TemplateI know, some people aren't taking it so well (this diff, for instance). It's just a bit of load on the server. There will probably be more templates of almost any listed userbox than my signature template, and the server load isn't that heavy. AWB Pokémon problemIs there anyway to stop the AWB to not change "pokemon" to "Pokémon" when it's part of a reference? I think this is mucking refs is all.
