Newsletter

It's time. Happy editing! --Boricuaeddie 03:46, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Since you appear to be busy today, Magnus has decided to help me with the delivery this month. Thanks anyway! Until next month, Boricuaeddie 21:07, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't mean for you to feel bad. I understand that there is life beyond Wikipedia, and I wanted to let you enjoy it and not bother you with it. See you next month! --Boricuaeddie 01:10, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Eddie has given you a mollusk! Mollusks somehow promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving something friendly to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Make your own message to spread WikiLove to others! Happy editing! --Boricuaeddie 01:10, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't see the reason to formally designate a backup bot, but, for the future, if my bot hasn't run 24 hours or so after a new issue comes out, or if Michael or I ask you to run it, you can - but leave a note on my talk page, and at the newsroom, so nobody else does it at the same time. All it is is an AWB task, appending a comment (including the <code>== Header ==</code> at the top) to each page. I can send you the XML settings file if you wish. Ral315 » 03:03, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Newsletter triggers Mediawiki bug

I'm not sure if this is a problem with User talk:R Delivery Bot or the newsletter itself, but twice now I've noticed that the newsletter Wikipedia:WikiProject Alternative music/Newsletter has been delivered in a way that triggers a bug in Mediawiki that makes the section [edit] links edit the wrong section. The problem is that the heading is placed on the same line as the content that follows it. This causes the section numbering to be miscalculated. The fix is simple, just include at least one line break after the heading. See instances of this bug manually fixed here and here. Is this a bug in the bot? --PEJL 17:34, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes. Thiss is a known bug because of how I copy and paste the newsletter to append. I forget why this keeps recurring. I may have either forgot to add the spaces, or AWB will take out those spaces because that's how it works. Strangely enough, it doesn't happen with all newsletters. --(Review Me) R ^ParlateContribs_@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 18:06, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Opinion

Welcome back from your vacation. Since you're a member of the Wikipedia:WikiProject user warnings, I was wondering if you would give your opinion on a new template that user:Anonymous Dissident and I are developing. It's meant to be a non-bitey "you posted inappropriately at WP:ANI and you should have done so here" message that could be left on (presumable newer) users' talk pages. The rationale for it is at WT:AN#Improper use of the WP:ANI forum and discussion at User talk:Anonymous Dissident#Re: Inappropriate ANI posting template. You can either leave comments at my talk page or the talk page for the template. Note I have also asked this of User:Wikihermit. Thanks! -- Flyguy649 ^talk _contribs 19:22, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

How do I contact you again? (Sometimes somethings 04:18, 20 August 2007 (UTC))

EFD templates

{{db-u1}} allows pages in your userspace to be deleted upon your request, even if you did not contribute to them at all. You said you'd get the EFD templates speedied if you'd made them. I can do it anyway, if you'd like. CSD agrees. --Deskana (banana) 12:25, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I take that back, I got mixed up. --Deskana (banana) 14:24, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer, but I would never think about changing my name. Bibliomaniac15 I was, and Bibliomaniac15 I shall be. bibliomaniac15 Prepare to be deleted! 20:19, 23 August 2007 (UTC) PS: Nice job with the EFD thing, really lets you release your pent-up feelings without falling to "the dark side."

Yo

Someone nuked the EFD top and bottom templates. Should we go to DRV? Kwsn(Ni!) 06:27, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

First of all, I'm not going to DRV on a humor page. Second of all, only the redirects were deleted. The originals are still somewhere. Check the RFD or maybe the deletion summary for where the location it. --(Review Me) R ^ParlateContribs_@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 13:47, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
