Your VandalProof Application
Dear Chitomcgee,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.2 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that that you don't have enough mainspace edits. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. &mdash;Xyra e l / 17:36, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

A Series of Unfortunate Events
In Wikipedia we use standard English syntax. These articles are not only for fans of the books, so we must use language appropriate to curious outsiders. And in the future, if you are going to do this, please discuss it with the others at the ASOUE wikiproject. Thanks.--CyberGhostface 22:30, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to VandalProof!
Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Chitomcgee! You have now been added to the list of authorized users, so if you haven't already, simply download and install VandalProof from our main page. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any other moderator, or you can post a message on the discussion page. Prodego talk  22:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Insemination
"Please do not add unhelpful and non-constructive information to Wikipedia, as you did to Insemination. Your edits could be considered vandalism, and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me".

You didn't even say what was wrong.


 * Update - "One problem with VandalProof is that if you accidently click a button, you can't undo it. So that's my mistake, it should not have been removed. I have reverted back to your edit and removed my warning. Sorry for the confusion".


 * I'm not really sure what you mean by that (when did I accidentally click a button?), but nonetheless thanks for restoring my changes!


 * Update - "I meant that I was the one that accidently clicked the button to revert your edit. All it takes on VandalProof is one click, and I accidently clicked it while on your article."

Mater Dei Edit
Hello, just thought I'd clear something up -

Only two people use the computer I am typing from yet we received a message that an anonymous user's IP adress was followed and that vandalism had occured on a page, which included a Religious slur against Catholics. I personally did not vandalize this page, and neither did the other user of this computer, my 13 year old sister. She was very upset when she received a message accusing her of committing such a malicious act. So upset in fact that she even cried. She's not very internet savvy and thought that her wikipedia privileges would have been revoked.

IP addresses are subject to change, and we just so happen to live in an area of mixed internet users whose subnets generally swap out at random. Either get a better system for cleanup, or don't go on witch hunts blaming "anonymous" users. She's under a lot of stress and the last thing she needs is for the internet police to go on an unprovable rampage. Thank you for your compliance - X. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.135.28.96 (talk) 02:45, 6 March 2007 (UTC).

Locations in Jak & Daxter
Hi. FYI, an article covering the same topic already existed - List of locations in Jak and Daxter, so I've changed your article into a redirect to this other page (just in case you wondered what had happened to it !) :-) CultureDrone (talk) 12:22, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:41, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest
I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:06, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:47, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
