| == Is it legal to ask you to look at a discussion even if it's on a mediation page with privileged communication? == | |||
| <br style="clear: both"/> | |||
| == Sydney meetup == | |||
| Hi Hi, VirtualSteve, i'm at my wits'~end, and i couldn't think of anybody better than you of whom i could ask a complicated question. I am having a problem but it has moved away from the articles which were locked down, migrated away from the TalkPages of those articles, and the problem is now careening into the formal Mediation page. I am getting more familiar with policies and principles, but this is the first time i've done anything formal, and i am uncertain what is proper or improper when mentioning Mediation because the communications are supposed to be privileged. You were the administrator who did the most to help handle the technical parts of this situation (during the months before formal Mediation) so i wanted to know whether you are still watching the progress, or whether you are staying away from the Mediation entirely for some reason of neutrality or privacy. If you can't discuss this stuff openly because of sensitivity to people's rights to privileged mediation, maybe you could email me instead. But if you are able to comment openly, would you please be able to take a look at our formal Mediation page and tell me whether i am right in thinking there is a serious obstruction of procedure going on, and "gaming the system" should be discouraged when neutral administrators observe such? I'm not doing any further edits anywhere near there, because i have lost all perspective of whether this is proceeding correctly, and i will not comment or involve myself with those contentious articles or editors unless you verify that i am doing this correctly. I really want to avoid making a problem even bigger. Thank you for checking my most recent contribs, or i can give you diffs in private if you need them. I wish you a pleasant weekend. ~ ]~]~] ~ 08:42, 21 March 2009 (UTC) | |||

| == deOrphaning script == | |||
| Hi there STEVE, VASCO from Portugal here, | |||
| Hello everyone! I was just working on responding to a couple bug reports for a script that I worked up as part of a request from this project, and I noticed that only a couple people (who weren't even on this mailing list) are actually using the script. A little history on the script: In March of 2014, {{Noping|Jim Cartar}} came to my user talk page and said he ] in acquiring a script for a backlog drive that he was working on that could keep track of and score deOrphanings for a scored backlog drive. I took that request to the project's talk page (]) and there was near unanimous support for this. I thought about the proposal and decided the best way to do it was to build a new script (which is still no where near as comprehensive as {{Noping|Manishearth}}'s ]) and build into it a mechanism that will make BLD scoring easy. | |||
| I was about to reach for the help of ], but found out he grew tired and quit (although i am not an admin, and don't intend to man, i more than often feel that way), | |||
| What I'm wondering at this point is, since there appears to be only two people using the script, should I continue to develop this script with a goal of using it for scoring BLDs or just debug the existing script and leave it at that. Thanks for any replies or comments. | |||
| There was an anon contributor, whom worked (works) solely on ] (Greek ] club), also tending to insert plenty of false info on player pages and removing useful/true info, especially in infoboxes. Thus, i filed this report (http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football#Anon_vandal), which resulted in those four pages being protected by ] (i have already tipped him about this new "surge"). | |||

I also told him, in his talkpage (http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Georgios21#Edinho), what is expected about this player's article, but am not very hopeful as to what the outcome will be.

Notice of change
Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

deOrphaning script
Hello everyone! I was just working on responding to a couple bug reports for a script that I worked up as part of a request from this project, and I noticed that only a couple people (who weren't even on this mailing list) are actually using the script. A little history on the script: In March of 2014, Jim Cartar came to my user talk page and said he needed some help in acquiring a script for a backlog drive that he was working on that could keep track of and score deOrphanings for a scored backlog drive. I took that request to the project's talk page (BackLog Drive "DO" (De-Orphaning) script proposal) and there was near unanimous support for this. I thought about the proposal and decided the best way to do it was to build a new script (which is still no where near as comprehensive as Manishearth's OrphanTabs) and build into it a mechanism that will make BLD scoring easy.
What I'm wondering at this point is, since there appears to be only two people using the script, should I continue to develop this script with a goal of using it for scoring BLDs or just debug the existing script and leave it at that. Thanks for any replies or comments.
If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Opted-out of message delivery to your user talk page.
