Hi!
I am not sure how to post here so I'm just using the edit botton. Why did you delete the links I put on the CRO page? They did not promote a thing but explained what the term means. Since there is no real write-up on the page yet, the links are useful. If you weren't for copyright, I would have just copied from some of them. Well, they probably are copyrighted. I've put the links back with an explanation of why they are there.

Accusing me of being Tony Pierce!
Haha. Thanks for the quick retraction. Commendible. I've made much worse mistakes and just deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LADude (talk • contribs) 09:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
whitelist
Hi Jmax-, according the most recent discussion at Misplaced Pages:Bots/Requests for approval/Jmax-bot, it looks like a 3-person whitelist is being envisioned, which should simplify the spoofing feature greatly. Thanks again for your help with this, and your patience as we try to work through the options! - BanyanTree 18:32, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for a job well done on the FA counter - that's one less chore for editors to keep track of. Regards, Sandy (Talk) 15:57, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Your post at WP:AN
I have replied to the post you made yesterday on the administrators' noticeboard. Because my post may have been inconspicuous in the middle of the threaded discussion, I am mentioning it here in case you care to respond. Newyorkbrad 22:22, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Harassment of HighInBC
I am very concerned about your reaction to HighInBC's complaint of harassment . Unless HighInBC has posted his workplace phone number and invited people to call him, simply the act of calling him to say "Hello HighInBC" is harassment per WP:HARASS and is very threatening; basically saying "I know who and where you work but you don't know who I am." Adding a threatening or offensive song compounds the problem, especially since an IP editor has threatened his family. Please do not endorse this behavior and if you really know the caller, tell him to knock it off. I note that while you have been a wikipedian for more than a year, most of your article edits are simple spelling corrections and most of your Misplaced Pages space edits relate in some way to GNAA. You may wish to disassociate yourself and your edits from the GNAA if you wish to be seen as a productive wikipedian. The more trolling and harassment that comes from them, the less likely the community is to tolerate editors with any connection to them. Especially please do not condone real life harassment of editors. Thanks. Thatcher131 00:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, for some reason you linked to WP:HARASS, but after reading and re-reading the harassment guidelines, none of them apply to somebody making two, non-threatening phone calls. Perhaps you could point out the proper section? cacophony ◄► 01:54, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- How about the opening paragraph? Newyorkbrad 02:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- I has responded to this comment here on my userpage. The calls were not non-threatning, nor were the IRC communication or the comment on this wiki, that is what you are defending. HighInBC 02:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
You all misunderstand: I was not defending him, merely putting into question the nature of these "harassing" phone calls. I did not condone them, I merely asked for some clarification. --Jmax- 08:25, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Any phone call is harassing, unless the other user has specifically invited it. Thatcher131 12:29, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Translation
Are you allowed to contact the translators now ? User talk:Tawker wanted to do it, so it seems to be fair.

hello
I am WikipediaIRAN. Thanks for your help. I didn't know how to answer to you, so I edited this page. And for your question, don't worry I did it myself. I didn't pick it from other sites. Sorry for my English but if you could speak French...

Would you care to explain to me why you don't consider it POV when an editor, with less than two hundred edits, who blatantly espouses an interest in the "free software movement" spends the last week inserting the words "proprietary" and "free" into the leading sentence of articles?

Why are you taking issue on me linking to highly relevent papers?
You sent me several messages today, one about me editing links to external conference paper that has been in the page for over a year, all I was doing was making the entry more informative.
The other two are also links to relevant conference papers by a recognised expert in these fields, I don't see the problem, as these are not promoting a service or products and are meant to be read by end users and security staff.
If you are not interested in having useful data here, then that is Wikipedias loss.
In the past I have edited many articles and pages on Misplaced Pages, this is the first time I have received accusdations that I'm spamming or otherwise posting unsuitable data. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.77.242.91 (talk) 13:22, 29 December 2006 (UTC).
Money laundering
Thank you for experimenting with the page Money laundering on Misplaced Pages. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Natl1 13:33, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Money laundering. Please be careful not to remove content from Misplaced Pages without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Natl1 13:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- I stand by my dissision to revert even thought you may not have had a vandalistic intention. Even thought I see that you were trying to clean up the external links, you deleted many legitamate articles and government websites that were not spam. Before you do such large and controversial edits disscus them on the articles talk page. Also, do not restore your edits once they have been reverted by someone and do not assume that since you did not have a vandalistic intention that the reviser "just made a mistake".--Natl1 14:02, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Rollback?
The easiest way of getting rollback privileges is to simply request admin rights. Looking over your contribs I'd say you have a fair chance. I'd say go for it, we can always use another enthousiastic soul, and knowing your way around bots is a plus. >Radiant< 17:08, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- However, given the several-month-break you took earlier this year, it may be best to wait until the end of January, or thereabouts. $.2 >Radiant< 17:10, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Changes
Sorry, forgot to subject and sign. Please excuse the repeat message.
Had some changes rolled back and wanted to see if I could get them reinstated. I placed external links to pages that carried scores and updated news for minor league sports teams. According to Misplaced Pages:External links (http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:External_links), "information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail" is an acceptable reason to add external links. In fact, the article specifically cites "professional athlete statistics" as an example. For instance, one of the links added was for the Quad City Riverhawks, with the link going to http://www.oursportscentral.com/sports/?t_id=1942. You can see that scores, stats, press releases and links online newspaper articles for the team are available there, something that is too detailed and constantly changing for a Misplaced Pages entry. All are also missing from the official team website.

I can understand where you're coming from, but it seems the submitted link falls more squarely into What should be linked than Links normally to be avoided. While one may contend that the link possibly promotes a website and contains advertising, it also includes information which can't be found anywhere else and is highly relevant to the subject.
