I note formally that you have engaged yourself in a number of wikipedia projects and you appear to be clearly interested in becoming an established editor.

I appreciate that you edited as an IP account for a year and that you are clearly not and editor less than the month's experience your registration defines - but as detailed ] - ''users who do not demonstrate an understanding of what constitutes capable vandalism fighting, either because they have no or little history of doing so, or show a poor ability to discern between good and bad faith edits will not be granted this right''.

| 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. | |||

| The article ] has been ]. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why. | |||
| Now i develop: usually it is written in intro (and now i take this example): "David García de la Cruz (born January 16, 1981 in Manresa, Catalonia) is a Spanish footballer currently playing for RCD Espanyol in the..." - with no need to write the country after the province because it is referred to afterwards (after the brackets that is). | |||
| While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be ]. | |||
| Well, some chap, fearing (i can only guess, it has happened before in several soccer articles) people are calling CATALONIA (in García's case) a country, rushed to the aid and quickly added SPAIN after CATALONIA, not noticing the redundancy. Furthermore, this chap is using a dynamic IP, so there's no point in messages (even if there was, i think it would not do any good). | |||

| *Sure thing, and false alarm, STEVE (at least in the assumption it was the same person); The person whom edited GARCÍA did so from CATALONIA, the other group of edits (seen here http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/83.42.238.184) were from an address in MADRID. It's not vandalism, but i am sure it will be reverted again, at least García, so i'll re-revert it when i can, if a protection is out of order. | |||

His talk page remarks and edit summaries also show an ignorance for ] with regards to his interactions with the other editor involved. I lost count on his 3RRs on the article. The other guy has a few of those too but has, at least, rv'd some of his own rv's after reviewing the content added by the 'kingevil' person. I would say some intervention is req'd. I would seek a full prot on the article. But... if it were me...

| :Has madam just come back or is she making a real pest of herself again? If she becomes a problem again we can reblock her two ranges. I had her ranges blocked for a year in 07-08 and it seemed pretty effective (see the big gap on the ArbCom log) but even a fairly short block as a warning might help. She has the same internet that I do, and the problem with blocking her IPs one-by-one is that the IPs change regularly on their own but all she has to do to force an IP change is turn off and on her router, so it ends up causing more collateral damage than it does actually getting in her way. Because she hates using accounts, anon only account creation disabled range blocking mostly takes her out, but if she's just coming here occasionally it's not really worth it. ] 11:10, 5 June 2009 (UTC) | |||

Backlog drive
Hello VirtualSteve,
WikiProject Orphanage is holding a month long Backlog Elimination Drive to de-orphan articles which have orphan tags!
The goal is to eliminate the backlog of orphan articles. There are currently 53422 articles which have orphan tags. The drive is running from April 12, 2014 to May 12, 2014.
Awards will be given out for all editors participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the drive. To add your name in the participants list click here.
So start de-orphaning articles! Click here to see the list of articles need de-orphaning.

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.
