While working on NPW, I've created  . I think that it can be useful here, since it also includes the block log link. Happy Editing by  Snowolf  (talk)  CON  COI  on  12:02, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Problems...
Hi there. I put on my username on the Approval List but VP is telling me that I'm not in there. Can you help me and WHY?!?! IsuzuAxiom1007 (talk • contribs) 16:57, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Your editcount is lower than the minimum required. So, if your application has been already processed, it has been rejected.  Snowolf (talk) CON COI  -  17:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Approved user couldn't login
Dear D, I couldn't log on to VP, even though I am approved, it's continually saying I am not in the list. Can you help me here? Thanks.--Cyril Thomas 12:27, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

User List is Corrupt?
I still cannot login to VP, today I got the message, "User List is Corrupt, please contact the administrator"! Can you correct the problem, please? --Cyril Thomas 06:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It's working for me, maybe it has been repaired ;-)  Snowolf (talk) CON COI  -  23:01, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Reply
Thanks for the reply, but I still couldn't log into the VP, is this some bug? What seems to be the problem? I hope you will look into that. Best wishes.--Cyril Thomas 18:35, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Additional requirements?
My mainspace edit count is well over the 250 required; I have no history of edit wars or blocks...is the approval process subject to moderator's own discretion? I have submitted by username twice, in which both times were removed without a specified reason (sometimes the whole list was cleared in one edit). I did not receive the promised notification of confirmation/rejection. Apparently, there could be something that I am not aware of...can anyone enlighten me? Thanks +A.0u 03:39, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm in the same situation. I got accepted once on my former user name, since then I have tried to get approved 4 times, and everytime my name was removed from the list without any notification of confirmation and/or rejection. I even left messages on the talk page of the moderator that removed my name but I'm not getting any replies. I would really like to use VP so I'm going to do one more try, If that doesn't work ill stay with WP:TWINKLE.  Felis Leo Talk! 07:23, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your concern. This comment has been read and noted, and in the interests of being friendly, I think it can now be removed. A le_Jrb talk 22:34, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

A Question
exactly what do i need to do inorder to get approved as i'm not sure from your message? AfTaDaRkCrU 20:52, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Backlog
Added backlog because been on for about a week. Thedjatclubrock :) (T/C) 01:54, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Approval
Can other admins approve people? Phgao 11:04, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * No, only VandalProof moderators. A le_Jrb talk  15:27, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Administrative backlog
The page appears in the Category:Administrative backlog if the tag is added, should other admins clear this backlog? Navou banter 01:59, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * No, you need to be a mod. Do you want to [clear it]? Prodego  talk  02:01, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Ahhh... The tag is a way to recruit folk to clear it. ;) Sure, I might have some time. Navou banter 02:14, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, you cought me... :) I have no idea who added it, and really only amidaniel is supposed to add moderators, but whatever. Have you used VP? Prodego  talk  10:46, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Backlog
I'm just curious as to why no one has been approved since Sept. 5? Thanks zachinthebox (User • Talk) 20:56, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I really want to be approved... Phgao 06:39, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sure everyone on the list wants to be approved. However, the moderators and AmiDaniel have other tasks to do as well, this isn't their sole activity. Everyone will likely be reviewed in due time. They also have "real lives", which, while I can't find mine anywhere, doesn't mean others don't have one :)  Pursey  Talk 10:42, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Multiple Problems
I have a few problems.

One: When it says updates are available, I try updating, and it says it can't (Run-time error '372').

Two: Says that my account has no privileges, even when I click 'Verify Authorization.'

Help me out!! —Signed by KoЯn fan71 My TalkSign Here! 01:55, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Never mind about the update. The no privileages is the big problem I have now....Still need help. —Signed by KoЯn fan71 My TalkSign Here! 00:53, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I got it working! (Thus far) —Signed by KoЯn fan71 My TalkSign Here! 23:49, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Backlog
Hi all, I understand the moderators for this tool are busy doing other things most of the time but is there an ETA of when the next time people are going to be approved/rejected? From what I can tell, nobody has been approved since the 25th September and there is quite a backlog building up. Maybe some time in the future they could automate it so the program automatically approves people who fulfil the criteria so this problem won't occur? Thanks Doyley Talk  18:13, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I can't speak for the other moderators, but connection issues prevent me from editing pages the size of our current user list (> 1600 users at last check). I can't ETA the list at this time, sorry. A new version of VP is underway that will fix a number of very prevelant issues, but I can't ETA that either. A le_Jrb talk  21:34, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah ok, no need to apologise, I was just curious. Thanks for letting me know. Doyley Talk  22:50, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Dividing Responsibilities
Since apparently the size of the database is a problem for some user's computers is there a way in which a VP admin could approve a list of users, that another admin (not involved with VP) adds to the database using a faster computer? Mbisanz 00:53, 18 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Seems kinda like no one cares doesn't it... I've been on this list for just shy of a month now. But I guess I shouldn't complain; this is one of those "it's-a-privilege-not-a-right" things, right? Equazcion • argue/improves • 05:32, 10/19/2007
 * Im going to clear this out within the next week. :) βcommand 23:37, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks beta, you're a credit to VP and society as a whole :) Equazcion • argue/improves • 14:47, 10/20/2007

Login problems
I have been approved for VandalProof, but it still marks me as not approved. Why? - Go od  sh oped 03:47, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Backlog
There seems to be a backlog of users (well over 30) waiting to be approved from over 2weeks ago, is there any moderator that has time to fix this?--Sunny910910 (talk 23:00, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Since I started this process about a month and a half ago, it seems like its updated about every 2-3 weeks, pretty much by BetaCommand. I suspect that if he's busy with his Bot or some other major wiki issue, it will be delayed.  If you don't want to wait it out, try #vandalproof and ask for a moderator.  Mbisanz 03:22, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Can I go on the IRC network without being approved first? I haven't downloaded VP yet so I'm not sure.--Sunny910910 (talk 03:25, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe IRC is just like a chat network. Not sure that there are any rules about going places.  I assume that if your not allowed, it will just not let you in.  The link above doesn't seem to work correctly, probably cause I don't ahve a freenode account.  Mbisanz 03:36, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't work for me either, how do you get an account?--Sunny910910 (talk 03:39, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * This seems to explain it IRC tutorialMbisanz 03:58, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh okay, thanks!--Sunny910910 (talk 23:57, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry for leaving the task on Beta's shoulders, but I still have problems with the Moderator Tools, so I have to approve and reject by hand. Anyway, I'll try to be more active, and let's hope 1.4 will solve my problem :)  Snowolf How can I help? 08:44, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Why?
Why is prior approval required? It seems a bit... i don't know - un-wiki. I mean, sure, block people if they misuse it, but... prior approval isn't required to use WP:TW, why for this? —Random832 18:22, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * VP is a lot more powerful tool than TW. And TW is a script so you can't prevent people from using it. Thats an educated guess.--Sunny910910 (talk 00:47, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

very confused
i don't understand the approval process. the 'recently approved' list includes Jj137, who is listed three times - listed as twice approved on november 24, and now again on december 26. ?? i'd like to try out vandalproof, but i'm curious what the above may bode for the rate (and accuracy) of approval. Anastrophe (talk) 06:29, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It seems that there has been problems with jj137's application. Simply he has been approved but for some reasons he wasn't added to the approved user list, so I reapproved him.  Snowolf How can I help? 15:44, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Question...
Is there a way I can download a program like this without having to register? I want to use this program and help out Wikipedia but I make my edits on ~12 different computers, have two user names, and i do not log in a majority of the time. So I do not think I would be approved if I just put my name in the list. -Hiaburi
 * If you're still looking for an answer, you can try WP:TW. Though it doesn't work on IE.--Sunny910910 (talk 03:40, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
