Your edit to Aylesbury Grammar School Mboverload, 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) Thanks for a quick response. I look forward to working together in the future Victor Greenstreet 11:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC) Warning You'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. Continue with your acts of terrorist, and see what happens. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.149.244.50 (talk • contribs) This user was indef banned for being too funny =D --mboverload@ 20:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC) Thanks (Madrone 01:12, 19 July 2006 (UTC)) Some of us add...

Since you inspired me for the idea, can you tell me what you think of it? —this is messedrocker (talk) 08:13, 11 July 2006 (UTC) Hehe, that's cool. Just a suggestion: Use a throwaway AIM and email handle, just in case someone wants to take issue with you. Use GAIM, I actually have 10 different SNs on different networks for different kinds of people I meet =P I've actually had 2 different users message me so far, and they actually turned into great discussions =D --mboverload@ 08:18, 11 July 2006 (UTC) Cloaking e-mail/IM addresses.

[1] --- Hong Qi Gong 00:56, 12 July 2006 (UTC) RfA On this occasion, your request for adminship was unsuccessful. I hope that you will continue your useful contributions to Wikipedia and may consider standing again in future. Warofdreams talk 03:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC) this edit Please keep normal categories before stub tags so they appear first in the category listing. --SPUI (T - C) 12:19, 12 July 2006 (UTC) I don't see a difference. That's how all articles are supposed to be sorted. --mboverload@ 17:14, 12 July 2006 (UTC) You moved the categories below the stub tag. The stub should be at the end. --SPUI (T - C) 17:16, 12 July 2006 (UTC) Thanks, the developers have been notified and it should be fixed in the next release. --mboverload@ 07:13, 14 July 2006 (UTC) Helping out with the AWB spellcheck list Hi 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) If you check out my latest release you will see that I'm already converting the list you use (it seems t be pretty common). Although a lot of it can be done with find-and-replace, as you can see I include the purals and other varients of most of the words. Every single line must be edited by hand and checked. Read the regex article and learn how I do each line - it's based an just a few simple operations that I'm confident you could learn. I'm already done with all the C words, which I'll release next week. Choose a random letter and see how well you do. As you can see at the top I'm on vacation and I got a minor injury that hurts like a bitch so I wont be able to chat with you in real time. Good luck =D - mboverload Sure, I'll see what I can help out with. I personally hate SVN and am totally incapable of using it so I'll just email you changes I make or something. --Draicone (talk) 12:22, 18 July 2006 (UTC) AWB Your 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) As I said in the latest edit summaries, all edits are going to be completely checked for errors. Thanks for alerting me, and I am addressing your concerns at this moment. --mboverload@ 01:37, 15 July 2006 (UTC) The AWB software is causing you to create mindless, autonomic edits of many Wikipedia pages. This does not fit well in the scheme of having Wikipedia a "user-based" encyclopedia, not a "automatic software" encyclopedia. Please throughly go through all the edits you make before taking action using your "precious" software as a lot of carelessness can be reversed when doing so. (note that I called his software "precious" as he used it as evidence of his "frequent edits" in his recent bid for adminship.) John Cho 01:08, 15 July 2006 (UTC) Heh, I didn't use my edit count at all. Please do not misrepresent the facts. --mboverload@ 02:27, 15 July 2006 (UTC) I Think you need to halt using that software all together. You seem to be abusing that software by editing millions of pages with nonsensical "typo" edits that ruin images on pages and such. Seriously, please be more careful with this software unless you can harness its powers correctly and accuratly. John Cho 02:20, 15 July 2006 (UTC) Hey, you're User:Ste4k (declare your sockpuppets, I have been in a dispute with this user). Please don't just hop on another user talking to me to throw in a punch. I don't edit millions of pages, and had you been involved in this you would have known that in the edit summary I said I was going to audit (ie, check) every single edit I made. --mboverload@ 02:25, 15 July 2006 (UTC) I'm User:Ste4k? That's headline news to me. I don't even know the character and if you check the dates of my contributions you will know and realize that I'm not a "sock puppett" of Ste4k. I am just opposing your random, frequent, mindless edits that litter Wikipedia. I do not like to see my Wikipedia (the PEOPLE'S (I'm a person) encyclopedia) getting littered with these non-sensical, software-autonomic edits. Please get on all your edits and fix them, I would appreciate that, and nothing will come about this. Thanks. John Cho 02:50, 15 July 2006 (UTC) I'm not even going to bother refute that. Bye bye. --mboverload@ 04:32, 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) spelling For 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) Thanks for alerting me. --mboverload@ 06:32, 15 July 2006 (UTC) No problem, glad to have helped. - Nunh-huh 07:00, 15 July 2006 (UTC) This, for example, is a great example of your buggy software that you fail to use in an efficient manner. Please fix, and Wikipedia shall be at original, good means. Thanks. --John Cho 06:56, 15 July 2006 (UTC) The software is not buggy. And I didn't know there was a difference, using a program has no relevance. This is a friendly editor giving me a friendly tip about one small error that was fixed. Stop raking for crap Ste4k. --mboverload@ 08:33, 15 July 2006 (UTC) As stated previously, I do not have any idea who this fool Ste4k is. A lot of people seem to have disputes with you, as seen with your recent bid for adminship, and I don't see why just because Ste4k had issues with you that you can link me to him. I do my own edits, as seen in my contribs, never in relation to any of Ste4k's contribs, nor can you see any of my Wikipedia pages linking nor even remotely relating to Ste4k's. On that note, I'm glad you resolved the issue. Please keep up with your good work in editing typo's and such but please also be more careful, is all I ask. Have a good one.-- John Cho 08:42, 15 July 2006 (UTC) Very few people have dispute with me, but I'll leave it on that note. Bye. (And yes, I'll be even more careful in the future at approving my words to replace) --mboverload@ 08:46, 15 July 2006 (UTC) Bot Account & AWB Hi, 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 Reedy Boy 11:09, 15 July 2006 (UTC) I actually run a semibot (complicated). Post this question to the WP:AWB talk page for better help. Good luck =D --mboverload@ 06:07, 16 July 2006 (UTC) Deleting vandal warning Thanks for that. --Guinnog 21:55, 16 July 2006 (UTC) np, the picture has also been deleted as it is a violation of fair use guidelines. I explained it to the user. --mboverload@ 21:56, 16 July 2006 (UTC) Quick Question Can 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) Oh, no problem, thanks for pointing that out. --mboverload@ 06:04, 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) Sorry about that, I'll be sure to take your advice to heart. --mboverload@ 19:19, 17 July 2006 (UTC) Thanks. :-) Ruakh 19:54, 17 July 2006 (UTC) hi thank 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? Sure, what do you need done? You can also get your own account to upload your own pics. --mboverload@ 19:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC) Hydnjo's response to the blocking proposal I 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. Except for my one explanation above, I haven't edited for a few days now so as to allow y'all to comment about this based on my history of contribution rather than my reaction to it. 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 Kid‎ Hey 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) I'm not sure if there is a template for that, but if there isn't, I'll make it =D --mboverload@ 04:20, 18 July 2006 (UTC) How long will this go on for, wikipediatrix you refuse to discuss anything and keep "running off" lookng for backup. I'm sure most people would be willing to discuss matters in a civl way, just give them a chance! All users should present their arguments and stay for the discussion. --mboverload@ 08:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC) I already presented my argument from the start. Nothing's changed. I will only respond to non-insulting editors. wikipediatrix 13:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC) Signpost updated for July 17th The Wikipedia Signpost Volume 2, Issue 29 17 July 2006 About the Signpost Library of Congress, Holocaust Museum negotiate with Wikimedia Issue of article subjects requesting deletion taken up Meetups And Newsworthy International Assemblages News and Notes: Blocking changes, single login Wikipedia in the News Features and admins The Report On Lengthy Litigation Archives  |  Newsroom  |  Tip Line  |  Single-Page View RSS Shortcut : WP:SIGN You are receiving this message because you have signed up for the Signpost spamlist.

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) I could never forget you! I'll look at it. --mboverload@ 08:31, 18 July 2006 (UTC) Re: AWB regextypofix Hi, 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? Cheers Reedy Boy 08:43, 18 July 2006 (UTC) Yes, sorry, that's for my own personal use. I'll remember to change it for the next release, thanks. --mboverload@ 08:44, 18 July 2006 (UTC) Heh, No Problem. Thanks for making this very extensive list. Oh, and as a side note, you may want to put in the readme, that if people call it default it will be loaded with AWB! Reedy Boy 11:55, 18 July 2006 (UTC) The Frosties Kid Discussion page Discussion 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) Note The removal was actually done by an IP user, as you can see in this edit. They used the Google Toolbar, which cuts off text just like that. They most likely didn't mean or know about it. --mboverload@ 09:29, 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) Posted on the talk page: It has come to my attention that I accidentally deleted several sections. This is because of my use of the Google Toolbar, which cuts off the text of the edit box, as you can see in that diff. I am SO sorry, I totally didn't realize, and I offer my sincerest apologies. --mboverload@ 09:33, 18 July 2006 (UTC) ITS COOL THANKS my apologies really - didn't realise that you were already onto the problem - your original post not the crossed out section seemed a bit derisory and facetious check [[4]] (history passim) - but thanks for the help and sorry for my tone - I honestly thought that you were trying to deny it. Your friend Mike33 11:15, 18 July 2006 (UTC) Skandha spellcheck Thanks for the spellcheck on the skandha article -- nice catches! - LarryR 11:58, 18 July 2006 (UTC) Bright Feminine Pink With Flowers RfA Thanks! Thanks for contributing to my successful RfA! To the people who have supported my request: I appreciate the show of confidence in me and I hope I live up to your expectations! To the people who opposed the request: I'm certainly not ignoring the constructive criticism and advice you've offered. I thank you as well! ♥! ~Kylu (u|t) 00:34, 19 July 2006 (UTC) Thanks for the support, even though it did look like you thought I was a guy for some reason. c.c ~Kylu (u|t) 00:34, 19 July 2006 (UTC) Sorry, I just kinda assume people on the internet are guys, and I don't really care what gender people think I am. Anyway, I'm glad you got adminship! If you need any help please let me know. --mboverload@ 00:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC) Beggins etc You might want to be a little careful with the beggins changes. In this edit you incorrectly changed a name. Tnikkel 02:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC) Ah, I didn't catch that was a name. Thanks! Ste4k RfC I 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. I expect to post the Rfc in a day or two. -Will Beback 04:57, 19 July 2006 (UTC) They haven't been banned yet? You're serious? I'll look at it. --mboverload@ 07:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC) My RfA thanks Hello Mboverload, and thank you for your support at my Request for Adminship, which succeeded with an overwhelming final count of (105/2/0). I was very pleased with the outpouring of kind words from the community that has now entrusted me with these tools, from the classroom, the lesson in human psychology and the international resource known as Wikipedia. The Free Encyclopedia. Please feel free to leave me plenty of requests, monitor my actions (through the admin desk on my userpage) and, if you find yourself in the mood, listen to some of what I do in real life. In any case, keep up the great work and have a fabulous day. Grandmasterka 06:21, 19 July 2006 (UTC) re: small but important... Hey thanks, I've just committed some new tweaks and changes, it's good having you test them before they go live. thanks Martin 09:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC) The edit summary is better now (no regex syntax), have you updated the code? Martin 10:26, 19 July 2006 (UTC) LOL, I forgot to recompile it. Hehe. --mboverload@ 10:27, 19 July 2006 (UTC) AWESOME! No more ugly regex! --mboverload@ 10:30, 19 July 2006 (UTC)Now it's just I've just fixed another small thing, I noticed in your changes such as this it says "developed => developed", this is due to your regex matching the correct spelling as well, but it is of no importance, but it won't show these identical replacements from now on. Martin 10:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC) Actually, could you leave those in? (or just add an option for it when you have some crazy spare time) There's no other way to help me find useless lines, unless you know a program that will do it for me. --mboverload@ 10:55, 19 July 2006 (UTC) Spell checking Hi. 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) THANKS! --mboverload@ 20:39, 19 July 2006 (UTC) Verifiability template? Was this edit [5] a template, and if so, where / which? Thanks much!!! KillerChihuahua?!? 18:28, 19 July 2006 (UTC) Yep!

Cheers Sam Thanks man! --mboverload@ 20:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC) No Probs. Ill have a look over it for you to look for any others. Im presuming $1 means constant one, and takes it from the brackets, and keeps it the same. Same for $2 ?? Reedy Boy 20:59, 19 July 2006 (UTC) I think you mean variable 1? =D Yep. You made an error in your replacements. to(n|ns) being replaced with tion$2 would just make tionns =D --mboverload@ 21:04, 19 July 2006 (UTC) Heh, ah well - Every Little Helps - As says asda...Reedy Boy 21:10, 19 July 2006 (UTC) That one you just posted is actually supposed to be like that, it matches variable 2, but it doesn't matter in the end since both of those variables are wrong =D --mboverload@ 21:12, 19 July 2006 (UTC) I realised, thats why i removed it :D Reedy Boy 21:14, 19 July 2006 (UTC) My brain hurts. User:Fredil Yupigo/signature 21:02, 21 July 2006 (UTC) regextypofix--0.0.5 regextypofix--0.0.5.zip seems to be corrupt on all mirrors '( Reedy Boy 21:15, 19 July 2006 (UTC) Ok, I just uploaded it again, in a few minutes it should be available for download. --mboverload@ 21:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC) It's there, but its coming down corrupted. It could be my internet as it has been disconnecting a lot, and having a lot of problems. Will check it in the morning. Thanks! Reedy Boy 21:37, 19 July 2006 (UTC) Hmm, more servers have it, but im still getting a corrupt file. Other versions download fine.... Reedy Boy 07:20, 20 July 2006 (UTC) Still coming down corrupted. Have to wait for the next version Reedy Boy 21:14, 20 July 2006 (UTC) Having the same problems with 0.0.7.zip ..... ARGH! Reedy Boy 10:11, 21 July 2006 (UTC) Yay - 2nd uploaded 0.0.7 works :D Reedy Boy 14:28, 22 July 2006 (UTC) Roma People Illustration You 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) Like you have been told, using that picture is a fair use violation. --mboverload@ 17:01, 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) =D --mboverload@ 21:58, 20 July 2006 (UTC) regextypofix hey 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) Yeah, I know what you mean! =D Thanks for the advice =D --mboverload@ 10:17, 21 July 2006 (UTC) Michael Di Biase 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) It was unrecoverable. There are two unsourced claims in it, both of which can be removed by any editor. "Once elected, Di Biase insisted on moving the City Of Vaughan beyond its roots as a commuter community. Working with various levels of governments, Di Biase guided the City to economic success and influence." That isn't blatent promotion? --mboverload@ 20:40, 21 July 2006 (UTC) I removed the "economic success" sentence, you're right, that was a bit much, but the "downtown" thing is evidenced by the Civic Centre. Take a look at my changes and tell me what you think. In terms of the "senior regional councillor" thing that you reverted. That is in fact why he was appointed Mayor over the other Reg.Counc. Joyce Frustaglio, simply because he was deemed the Senior Regional Councillor, so there was no need to remove that part. - pm_shef 20:43, 21 July 2006 (UTC) Although I still have a small objection, I'm not going to argue or revert you. Have fun with the article. --mboverload@ 20:47, 21 July 2006 (UTC) Signature Template I 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 problem Is 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. Cheers, Highway Return to Oz... 22:18, 21 July 2006 (UTC) What article was this in? I'm really sorry, I didn't see it. Can you point me to it? --mboverload@ 22:21, 21 July 2006 (UTC) Makuhita for one. It's not the link, it's the "Pokemontcg.com. URL Accessed July 21, [[2006.". I doubt you'll be able to isolate it. Sorry, Highway Return to Oz... 22:24, 21 July 2006 (UTC) I have contacted the developer of AWB and hopefully they will get back to me for a fix. THANK YOU for telling me about this, I am stopping all editing until there is one. --mboverload@ 22:27, 21 July 2006 (UTC) Och, it's fine. ;) Highway Return to Oz... 22:28, 21 July 2006 (UTC) I think I caught it early, the problem is only appearing in articles that have a specific intro to the Trading Card Game section.

Good to find the cause behind teh 'corruption' D Ill have to give you a present later ;) Reedy Boy 13:07, 23 July 2006 (UTC) Good stuff. I used it for a little bit and now I'm done...but yeah, nice job. I can't imagine the level of work you invested in this.

But as far as i can see, none of my text is copyrighted. --Crampy20 21:33, 23 July 2006 (UTC) here. Thanks for understanding! --mboverload@ 21:33, 23 July 2006 (UTC) Thank you for pointing this out. [6] is the page from which that text was copied from; I was moving articles around, I was unaware it was previously copied.--Crampy20 21:37, 23 July 2006 (UTC) Ok, thanks cool. --mboverload@ 21:36, 23 July 2006 (UTC) Do I still need to delete the text? --Crampy20 21:37, 23 July 2006 (UTC) Could you post the articles with the text and such? I'll take care of all of it for you. Sorry, I thought your were just copying stuff over, which I thought was strange coming from a user like you =P --mboverload@ 21:39, 23 July 2006 (UTC) Cute, but you have deleted the page. I did put effort into that page, especially as the previous page was cr*p, i thought i was good, minus the lack of and copyrighted information. By "taking care of it" you deleted it. Can you restore it and just delete the info. Because that was a bit rude. --Crampy20 21:43, 23 July 2006 (UTC) Oh, I'm not an admin, someone else must have deleted it. I can contact someone and get it undeleted for you though --mboverload@ 21:45, 23 July 2006 (UTC) That would be kind thank you. --Crampy20 21:47, 23 July 2006 (UTC) Here, an admin did this for me: freewebs.com/abcde1846 Sorry about this. --mboverload@ 21:58, 23 July 2006 (UTC) Thank you --Crampy20 22:02, 23 July 2006 (UTC) I wish you the best of luck! --mboverload@ 22:03, 23 July 2006 (UTC) Stop Please stop removing the presently-unverified text, as this undermines the Mediator system and the dispute resolution process.
