LOL. Clever bot! Useful bot! Niiice bottie! (Walks cautiously backwards, trying to get away from the insane bot.) Bishonen | talk 15:24, 14 January 2013 (UTC).

The bots are mocking me. :( --Anthonyhcole (talk) 15:53, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Governance

Has anyone written a summary of issues related to the topics — sort of a one page review of the proposals? This is a lot of material to wade through, especially if you want to continually refer back to it. —Neotarf (talk) 23:15, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Removed or oversighted?

Anthony, see http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&diff=487087188&oldid=487084656 where Philiippe stated that child pornography was removed from the servers "as required by law" and reported to the authorities. According to his statement to you just now, however, "images that are problematic are oversighted and not deleted from the servers. There's a very good reason for that: law enforcement advised us to do so, so that the image remains in place for their investigation, should they need it. After a certain amount of time, we have it quietly removed." I am now confused. --Andreas JN466 17:59, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Philippe seems to have cleared that up on his talk page. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 00:49, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes, that was a good answer. Pity he took your original comment the way he did. Best, Andreas JN466 07:21, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

I can see how he read it the way he did. That he hasn't, on reflection, seen that my concerns were reasonable is, well, disappointing to say the least but that's up to him. I won't accept his insulting faux apology though. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 15:05, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

BTW

Having looked at your list, the first articles I created were in a list on top of recent changes, a few others came from here Any other questions feel free to ask. Darkness Shines (talk) 10:57, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Only that one question for the moment. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 11:04, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Cameras

I'd be happy to help. It helps to know your budget and what kind of photos you are going to be taking. Are you just wanting high-quality family snapshots and holiday photos, or aiming to take it up as a hobby and be creative? Why don't you drop me an email so we can correspond more easily. Colin° 08:07, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Done. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 08:18, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

I've not received any email. Colin° 10:08, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Plus, I didn't get any notification of your message on my talk page. Hmm. Something up? My email in preferences looks ok. Colin° 10:20, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Bishonen just told me she sent an email to Bishzilla and it didn't arrive, and they're discussing email problems at User_talk:Beeblebrox#Blocked_as_compromised_account. en.Misplaced Pages's servers are moving from Florida to Virginia right now, and it's probably related to that.

I'll be taking photos to illustrate Misplaced Pages articles, and recording the oral history of a friend, so I think I want high acuity interchangeable lenses and high resolution stills. I'd like it to accept an external mic, capture high quality sound and capture video at a resolution that looks brilliant on an A4 sized screen, I think. Do you have any idea what I should look at? --Anthonyhcole (talk) 13:35, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Well I hope it fixes itself soon. I changed my password yesterday so I hope it isn't related to that. I think you've emailed me in the past so I may have your address at home. I'll look for it in the evening when I've got more free time. I'll compile some more questions. You need to think how "pro" you want your photos to be, your audio-video to be, and how much money you are prepared to spend because this isn't a cheap hobby. Colin° 16:04, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm hoping I can have all that for under $5,000. $3,000 would be nice. I'll await the restoration of email. You might try email at meta, in case they're just moving en.WP at the moment. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 16:15, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

I've emailed you from Commons. I got a copy of it so that's promising. Colin° 16:40, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Yep! I've replied. It's bedtime here. I'll catch you later. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 16:47, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Name

The issue was Wiki Med not WikiProject Med :-) We should have it changed in a couple of weeks. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 14:37, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Here as an IP. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 14:53, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Bugger bugger. I missed the bit where Lane identified the IP, and I thought Bence's comment came after that. Bugger. James, Misplaced Pages talk:MED#JMIR Wiki Medical Reviews is just wonderful. Thank you so much for that. When Jimbo starts bestowing Knighthoods, I'm nominating you. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 15:16, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
