Ok, the bot takes care of almost everything I do, I'm swamped with work right now. I'm outta here. If you need anything urgent, email me. -- Tawker 01:03, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Removal of template acknowledging source of imported material

Please see Template talk:EnPW. I see that a dozen or more pages had that acknowledgment removed "per Danny". A violation of license, on the face of it. Robin Patterson 18 Feb 2007

Master Nan

I assume you are the one who deleted the article on Master Nan. I can't understand why you did that as the sources were cited and corrections were made to avoid copyright infringement. Moreover, at the time the only tag on the article was for the article to be cleaned up. All I did was try to reiterate some facts on a famous buddhist scholar and all the work put into it has been deleted in a flash and without warning. I cannot claim to be tech savvy enough to know whether you are directly responsible, but if so, it makes unfamiliar and new contributors like myself have a strong sense of distaste that there is not even the chance for correction. What's the point of trying to establish an article if it keeps on getting deleted before it's done. If you could please give specific reasons why it was deleted as the article was rewritten to avoid copyright infringement.

Don't Remove Speedy Tags

Please do not remove speedy tags. If you diasgree with a speedy deletion add {{hangon}} to the top of the page. If you remove it again, I will report to an admin and you will be blocked.

Request for admin review

Hello Tawker, I am asking you to get involved in a controversy. I believe that SlimVirgin violated policy by blocking User:Tsunami Butler with whom she was involved in a content dispute. It looks like she blocked others (including me) for similar reasons. In my case she unblocked me, but the other blocks remain. This became the subject of an RfC which was deleted by Jayjg.

However, SlimVirgin posted on my talk page that I could choose an admin to review her actions (see User_talk:Don't_lose_that_number#TsunamiButler_and_HonourableSchoolboy.) I hope you are willing to do it. It seems like a lot of other admins observe a Code of silence. --Don't lose that number 01:18, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Bot inquiry

Hello, my name is Extranet. I am currently in the process of requesting a Toolserver account and wish to run a successful bot on Misplaced Pages. Your bot, AntiVandalBot, seems to do a great job around here and was wondering whether I could possibly run a redundant (backup) copy of it. This would increase the percentage of catching vandalism in the patrolling of recent changes and I do believe it would be a benefit to the community. I have also posted a comment on Martinp23's talk page in regard to his bot, MartinBot. Looking forward to your reply. Kind regards, Extranet 02:22, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
