== Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference ==


Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
==adminship==


On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (]). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was <code>true</code>. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to <code>false</code> in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.
If you want to work toward reviving my chances for adminship, fine by me. I'm tired of arguing over the things in question, but I certainly will accept if given the status. -- ] 17:54, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

In case you didn't see, I dropped you a little note on your lab's talk page. --]]] <sup><font color="#3D9140">]</font></sup> 15:09, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

:Okay, one more question there. (give me a minute to add it there) --]]] <sup><font color="#3D9140">]</font></sup> 15:34, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

No, no partucular reason for picking September 2004. (Just thought it would be a good place to start) I am probably half way done, so if you don't mind, could we do 2005 plus Sept. 2004? I would hate to lose all the info I've already collected. But if you don't think that's a good idea, I will start somewhere else. It is ''your'' project, and I don't want to step on your toes. Whatever you decide is perfectly okay with me. --]]] <sup><font color="#3D9140">]</font></sup> 19:38, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

:No article is yours, you are correct, but this was in your userspace, so I figured I would follow your lead. Depending on how much time I have, I'll finish up with 9-2004 tomorrow. See ya. --]]] <sup><font color="#3D9140">]</font></sup> 19:47, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

What should we define as "long time" or "high edit count"? Is 6 months long? 2000 edits high? 3 months? 3000 edits? We need some sort of parameters here. --]]] <sup><font color="#3D9140">]</font></sup> 20:49, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

The thing about the phrase "high edit count" is that this is what a supporter said directly. If they gave an actual number then write the number. If not then write what they say i.e. Low edit count, Been here long enough, etc. These things still give us an idea about wikipedias administrator ideology. ] | ] 20:56, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

And how loose should we be on the adjectives? Is it our judgment call to decide if something is alike? For instance, "attention to detail" and "meticulous". Should I be lumping these together, or are we looking for specific phrases? --]]] <sup><font color="#3D9140">]</font></sup> 21:10, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

:Personally I think doing it like this would be good:
Ex:
*Meticulous -- Attentive to detail -- Watchful eye (8)
] | ] 21:31, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm... I think i messed up somewhere along the lines. I am just going to scrap Sept. 2004 for now, and pick up somewhere in 2005. This time I'll be more careful. --]]] <sup><font color="#3D9140">]</font></sup> 21:33, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Don't necessarily think it was your mess-up. I prematurely introduced this project before working out the finer points. I also have made major changes to the tally sheet too. ANyway I can see what you've done so far? ] | ]


Thanks for your message - I have replied to the talk page of the ''Laboratory''. Regards--] | ] 00:27, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

:I do not think we have to do every month or even every case in every month. I think if we do half the cases every third month for both successful and unsuccessful and try to get at the gist of what it is that people are looking for in that month, we may understand the changes over time. I won't get to the unsuccessful for August until tomorrow morning (24 hours since I am in Australia). I will have a look at May 2005 over the next few days too by way of comparison. I am using excel to tally the results and it is a pretty quick run through on the basis that the nuances of comments aren't differentiated and recording is only once per candidate in the course of the vote. Why candidacies fail is almost certainly the interesting question. If an unsuccessfully resolved controversy is raised the oppose votes seem to snowball even though the voters weren't involved. --] | ] 01:32, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

== I am heartfully sorry ==

I am so sorry Jaber. I am going to have to tumble the building down and pull out of this project at this point. I hate to do this since I am very interested in it, I just simply do not have the time to pursue this right now. Perhaps I'll peek my head in once in a while, to check up on things or make suggestions, but I will be unavailable to do a lot of the actual grunt work. I am so sorry to leave you down another editor, but I must leave. I hope you understand that it is nothing against you or the project, it is a personal issue I'm having at this point in time. I hope everything continues to go well with you. Again, I am sorry. Cheers my friend. --]]] <sup><font color="#3D9140">]</font></sup> 14:34, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
