Speedy deletion of SITACon
A tag has been placed on SITACon, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ukexpat (talk) 03:31, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Category:Proposed Decade in which Moses leads the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt
Since you created this and requested deletion on the same day, it was clearly a speedy delete as G7. Having said that, based on the discussion before it was closed, I think that you would be well served to simply make sure that the information is in an article. There appeared to be a very strong case for not creating a category, no matter what the name, for this type of information. Having said that, you are free to create categories of your choosing as long as you follow WP:CAT. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:21, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Please update your status with WP:VG
Dear WikiProject Video games member,

You are receiving this message because you have either Category:WikiProject Video games members or User WPVG somewhere in your userspace and you have edited Wikipedia in the recent months.

The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.

All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:
 * Editing video game-related pages in the Article namespace
 * Participating in video game-related discussions in the Project namespace (WT:VG, WP:AfD, WP:GAN, etc.)

Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.

Editcount
Hi Bud0011, you can download my expanded extension here. The installation is the same as at the original extension, additional you can use SpecialEditcount.css (sorry comments are german) to modify the design. Have fun with the extension, --Steevie (talk) 10:41, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks good.Here it is in action, if you wish to see it. :). Thank you very much, Bud0011 (talk) 23:33, 16 June 2011 (UTC).
 * Fine, but the popup window disappears partially at the bottom when there is no space. In my testwiki or here it doesn't - it moves upwards a little instead. Should I try to find the reason? Perhaps it happens only at the context of mediawiki 1.17.0 beta 1. By the way, i forgot to inform you about the other extension EditcountTag.php in the same folder. It generates an extra tag to display the Editcount in a wiki-page. Usage is  in any wiki-page. A second parameter allows the selection of namespaces:   for all NS and commaseparated the NS-numbers to add or subtract. For example   or  . --Steevie (talk) 15:44, 17 June 2011 (UTC) PS: Are you also interested in an extension to display the created articles of any user? (I only have to translate it yet) (see here)
 * Sorry for the very long delay in responding. I am interested. :). Bud0011 (talk) 02:56, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
