Notice

[edit]

We demand that you update our Wiki entry to say "Private University" - our true classification - and stop labeling us a for-profit career college. We will not hesitate to subpoena all of your true identities again in federal court. We've already been assisted in bringing down the Controversy section of our page due to our cyber-stalkers spreading lies about us. Just because our investors are Mormon does not mean we are a Mormon school. And just because one of our directors was investigated for fraud and bribery years ago does not mean our school deserves a Controversy section on Wikipedia. We will continue to fight anyone who attacks our school on the internet. You have been warned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lymani (talkcontribs) 18:15, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you truly represent Neumont University you will be aware that I have some months ago, pursuant to your previous legal shenanigans, contacted both you and your legal representatives, pointing out where you may have been in violation of US law, and advising you to take a more constructive approach. You might consider other Law too: Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth.

... and one more, to emphasize the point that just one is nowhere near being enough ... OrangesRyellow (talk) 14:26, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much! Rich Farmbrough, 15:29, 22 May 2013 (UTC).[reply]

cleanup total

[edit]

Per this discussion: How do I get the 'total' to update correctly in Template:EngvarB progress? the counter seems to be stuck at zero. Regards, -- Ohc ¡digame!¿que pasa? 14:54, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The category "All Wikipedia articles written in EngvarB" exists, but is empty. Simply delete the category and all will be well. Rich Farmbrough, 15:12, 22 May 2013 (UTC).[reply]

Oxford Meetup 5

[edit]

Thank you for attending the fourth Oxford Meetup, and it was a pleasure meeting you. We have decided to hold the next Oxford meetup in one month's time, rather than two, so that it falls within Oxford term-time. A page has been created about the fifth Oxford Meetup; please sign up if you think that you are able to attend - if the date or venue are unsuitable, please comment at its discussion page.

Please spread the word to anybody else who you think might be interested. The next UK meetups are at: Glasgow; London; and Nottingham, all on 12 May 2013. --Redrose64 (talk) 08:51, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm concerned about the low level of support for the fifth Oxford Meetup. Are you unable to attend, or is it that you haven't seen the geonotice? --Redrose64 (talk) 12:23, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A beer for you!

[edit]
I am sorry to see that you have been forced on vacation. It's the community loss, clear and simple, when such an active editor as yourself is forced to retire. I hope you'll find a more welcoming home on one of our sister projects. My hat is off to you, Mr. 2nd To Have Reached 1 Million Edits on English Wikipedia. This project is poorer without you.
