OK then. There's about 2000 or so of those baseball seasonal articles, and some of them which aren't yet Start-Class or higher still need to be expanded. Unfortunately, I have been delaying the expansion of these articles (which I really shouldn't have done), but since you have brought it to my attention, I will take care of it.

== Delete reason dropdown script ==

I checked your delete reason dropdown script and it seems to be working okay. My only concern is where you use some of the captured text from the regular expression back into the summary (afd, mfd, prod, unknown db) as the text is "tainted". While the text is provided by the MediaWiki software and should be untainted, it's still a bit dangerous, though I couldn't figure out any situation where it might be bad (see my deleted Sandbox for my experiments). -- ] (]) 19:33, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

:Re : Yes, that's what I figured out after awhile. Eh, just being cautious from years of defensive coding. Never trust anything. =) My specific concerns were script injection and overflow of the input field. However, like you said, you're using nothing that the MediaWiki software didn't already put in and you're doing replacement of the value, not adding HTML, so the content should be safe. -- ] (]) 19:53, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

The discussion is closed, so I'll explain here. It gives away the geographical location of the user via WHOIS (take, for example, ] and ). In some cases, the WHOIS information resolves to a person. In some cases, that IP address may be used to correlate activity for other things for sites whose privacy policies may be less strict than the Wikimedia Foundation's. And for some ISPs, an IP address may be assigned to a very small geographical area, and with other habits for that user, can be used to trace someone in real life.

IP

The discussion is closed, so I'll explain here. It gives away the geographical location of the user via WHOIS (take, for example, User:66.218.71.198 and ). In some cases, the WHOIS information resolves to a person. In some cases, that IP address may be used to correlate activity for other things for sites whose privacy policies may be less strict than the Wikimedia Foundation's. And for some ISPs, an IP address may be assigned to a very small geographical area, and with other habits for that user, can be used to trace someone in real life.
