I prefer to keep all correspondence in the same place; if you leave me a message here, I will respond here. If I post a message on your talk page, please reply there rather than here. Thank you! :)
Autoconfirmed → established
Hello Krimpet. You recently changed the name of the 'autoconfirmed' group to 'established' (on Misplaced Pages:User access levels, MediaWiki:Group-autoconfirmed-member, and MediaWiki:Group-autoconfirmed). I've restored the default name because this conflicts with a common term for long-time community members, and there doesn't seem to have been any discussion for the change. However, I also changed the description to explicitly point out that different wikis have different criteria and benefits for the group; does that correct the confusion you mentioned? —{admin} Pathoschild 03:57:59, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Tor check, "exit to WMF servers"
There was a request on your talk page for the precise definition of "exit to WMF servers" regarding the Tor check tool. You archived the discussion without replying. I would really like an answer. --85.228.151.57 (talk) 07:00, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, I have tried to keep the precise definition vague. If you run a Tor server, it should be OK if you block HTTP(S) traffic to these ranges listed here. krimpet✽ 07:08, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you. I understand the need not to specify it too precisely, but what is actually needed is an IP-range that may not be minimal, but is guaranteed to be enough (while still not blocking the entire Internet). Now you have given me an answer here, but I strongly suspect that every single person being blocked for being a Tor exit node would like to have this information; that is, a guaranteed way to be eligible for unblocking. Therefore I suggest that this information, or a link to it, be added to the tor template. --85.228.151.57 (talk) 07:22, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Krimpet, I've sent you an E-mail. Thanks. Acalamari 18:36, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
- I would be grateful for a response please. Thank you. Acalamari 16:34, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, I dropped the ball on that - replying now. krimpet✽ 19:53, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for participating in my RfB! I am very grateful for the confidence of the community shown at my RfB, which passed by a count of 154/7/2 (95.65%). I have read every word of the RfB and taken it all to heart. I truly appreciate everyone's input: supports, opposes, neutrals, and comments. Of course, I plan to conduct my cratship in service of the community. If you have any advice, questions, concerns, or need help, please let me know. Again, Thanks! — Rlevse • Talk • 08:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC) |
User:UBX/TranswomenSexy
Can you undelete this, please. If it's been speedy deleted, then you should say what criteria it fails, not just a one-word comment like "Inappropriate". If you simply find it inappropriate, you should list it at MfD for discussion instead. PC78 (talk) 19:45, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- A userbox claiming one finds a certain group of women "sexy" serves no purpose in helping with project collaboration. Thus, it is against our policy on userspace content. krimpet✽ 19:50, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- That doesn't appear to be one of the criteria for speedy deletion. It also doesn't appear to violate WP:UBX guidelines, or at least, not in any way that couldn't be solved by editing. Saying I like olives on my pizza also serves no purpose in helping with project collaboration, along with most other userboxes, really. PC78 (talk) 19:59, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
