	==VandalProof 1.2 Now Available==
	<div style="border: 1px solid gray; background-color: {{{color\|#fdffe7}}};">
	]
	After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now ''available for download!'' Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features ]. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to ], I now have an account on <span class="plainlinks"></span> with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my ] tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to ] and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your ] for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --] (]) 02:11, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

	==Re: Stop it==
	(Original message, quickly removed from ]:)

	I've just had a close look at your last 250 edits, EE. It's interesting. Of the 250, every single edit was on a topic relating to pop music or videogames, except for these:
	:* Three edits on 19 May to ]
	:* One edit to Paris, Ontario
	:* One to Milk
	:* Five edits to ] and three to ] on 16 May. There are both featured articles mostly written by myself.
	:* Two image-fiddling edits to ] today and one to ]. This article is mostly written by Bishonen.

	This is a hair's-breadth from stalking. If you want to develop broader editing interests, I recommend it, but find some way of doing it other than hounding articles that you know Bishonen or Bunchofgrapes follow closely. —] (]) 18:41, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

	:I am beginning to become ''very'' ill-hearted toward you. I am absolutely not stalking you, I have simply been editing these articles because I was over-looking ] (with the exception of Bishonen's article, whose I am editing since it was at FAC a little while back and I found all of the support votes from her friends interesting — it turns out it ''is'' well-written, but I was still suspicious). In addition, yes, I have edited very many popular culture articles, but I don't understand what you mean by "video games" articles at all. Looking at my last 250 edits, "video games" can certainly qualify as part of the list you provided me as I do not edit them on a daily basis. I question your motive.

	:On a different note, I would consider checking each of my contributions to be slightly more stalker behaviour than what I have done thus far. Why am I so interesting to you? Because I have connections to Courtni? What if someone else was doing this, would you care? I highly doubt it — but then, you never know. Yes, I started editing Gwen Stefani articles! Oh my. The return of Mariah or whomever her other pseudonym was. Seriously, I would prefer to edit in utter-most tranquility and peace: I am allowed to edit whatever articles I choose, correct? No, I am not stalking you. I certainly ''would'' like to develop a further interest in topics (which is why I edited ], it would make for a nice ]), but please don't accuse me of such intentions. What happened to the fluffy and welcoming outside Misplaced Pages provided?

	==The curmudgeonly Wikipedian gets a reply==
	Why do people get so excited about starting new pages? Fixing existing, awful pages seems far more important to Misplaced Pages's quality. Yet every user page has their proud list of "Pages I Created." Stop it!
	:I don't know about other people getting ''excited'' over creating a new page, but the reason I like to create new articles is because there isn't any information on the subject in the first place. My articles aren't usually large, in fact, they're mostly stub material; however, I feel that no information is worse than some information, so the quantity of articles should have at least slightly more importance than the quality of articles. As for "Pages I Created", it's about letting me have an organized list of the amount of contribution I've put forward into Misplaced Pages. I don't have my list as a show of pride, but as a publically available list of what I've given to the community so Wikipedians (mainly myself) don't have to fish through My Contributions to see what I've added. I could do this for other articles I've made large improvements/edits to (as others have), but to me personally, that's just not as important. So in the end to me, it's ''quantity over quality'' and the list is for ''personal/public organization''. This is just my take, it's probably not the same for most other Wikipedians, probably very few in fact. - ] 07:29, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

	A cowboy builder is a very widely used term (I'm sure all the Brits will confirm this) for a builder who does a bad job, and is widely renowned for doing so. There is even a television program exposing these people for the mirth of those who have been clever enough not to employ them - hence they could be notable.

Hi Bunch, it was great to see you edit today, especially as It was a wise and great edit. Hope you are here to stay awhile. Giano (talk) 18:27, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Pardon?

Responding to your message on my talk page: I have no idea what you're talking about. I changed my name from United Statesman weeks ago; I've sent no e-mails either. B R U N S W I C K I A N 23:46, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Request for help

I am will shortly be posting to WP:AN with the request below. Any support would be appreciated.

Request to WP:AN

"I would like to take the article History of logic to FA. I have already sought input from a number of contributors and have cleared up the issues raised (I am sure there are more). I wrote nearly all of the article using different accounts, as follows:

I would like to continue this work but I am frustrated by the zealous activity of User:Fram who keeps making significant reverts, and blocking accounts wherever he suspects the work of a 'banned user'. (Fram claims s/he doesn't understand "the people who feel that content is more important than anything else").

Can I please be left in peace with the present account to complete this work. 'History of logic' is a flagship article for Misplaced Pages, and is an argument against those enemies who claim that nothing serious can ever be accomplished by the project".

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)

I'm gonna go ahead and game the system with this reply, then. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 17:26, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Eddie again

Bunchie, there's a new ban appeal by Eddie Segoura here on AN which looks to be going well. I'll wait for your opinion, if you have one, before I jump one way or the other. I was quite impressed by the stubborn disruptiveness of Eddie in the distant past, but they say people can change. Anyway, nobody knows more about it than you. Bishonen | talk 09:49, 18 May 2015 (UTC).

I guess my comments from the 2009 appeal (which I did not actually oppose) still stand. I'm willing to believe there's a decent chance he won't be malicious, and if the community wants to put up with what a pain-in-the-ass he can be is even when he's being good, there's little reason not to give him another shot. A quick look at his edits as WikiBaseballFan actually have me wondering if he hasn't grown up some in the last six years, even. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 15:35, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

So you don't you want to say that on AN, little Bunch? Bishonen | talk 16:30, 18 May 2015 (UTC).

OK, OK :-) —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 16:47, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Please attribute or claim media you uploaded or restored: File:Tulipface spin.gif

You uploaded or restored , File:Tulipface spin.gif, but for various reasons did not add an {{information}} block, or indicate your (user) name on the file description page. Media uploaded to Misplaced Pages needs information on the SPECIFIC authorship and source of files, to ensure that it complies with copyright laws in various jurisdictions.

If it's entirely your own work, please include {{own}} in the relevant source field, amend the {{information}} added by a third party, ensuring that your user name (or name you want used for attribution) is clear in the author field, and change the license to an appropriate "self" variant (if such a license is not already used). You should also add an |author= parameter to the license tag, to assist reviews and image patrollers. You can also add |claimed=yes and an |author=to the {{media by uploader}} or {{presumed_self}} tag if it is present to indicate that you've acknowledged the image, and license shown (and updated the {{information}} where appropriate).

If it's not entirely your own work, then please update the source and authorship fields, so that they accurately reflect the source and authors of the original work(s), as well as the derivative you created.

Media that is incorrectly claimed as self or {{own}}, will eventually be listed at Files for Discussion or deleted, unless it's full status is entirely clear to other contributors, reviewers and image patrollers.

Whilst this notification, relates to a single media upload, it would also be appreciated if you could ensure that appropriate attribution exists for other media you uploaded, You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

It's okay to remove or strike this message once the issue has been resolved :).

Happy New Year

Hi BOG, I just thought I’d drop by to wish you a prosperous New Year and say it would be nice to see a little more of you around the place. Giano (talk) 21:36, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
