Okay
I put that up from a dare anyways, so that doesn't bother me.  Y  ДмΔќʃʀï →ГC←  10-29-2007 • 01:14:02

Re: User scripts, TW, popups, et al.
Hi Diletante. I have a few scripts in my monobook that I find very useful for combatting vandalism. Popups will show you a little menu when you hover over a wikilink that includes actions such as "revert" or "edit" plus some others that I don't use on a regular basis. Lupin's Anti-Vandal tool can show an expanding list of all edits being made by anonymous users (which are not always vandalism, and of course, not all vandalism is done by anonymous editors) along with a handy one-click revert button. And Twinkle is an additional set of scripts that give you various tools for reverting, warning, marking articles for deletion, etc. The nice thing about Twinkle is that you can choose which of the tools you want to use and only import those scripts. The main tools I use are the popups, recent IP edits, and Twinkle warning, XfD, and reporting vandals to WP:AIV.

If you like, you can have a look at my monobook and copy the scripts that you would like to use. Let me know if you need any help with them, but you should be able to master them quite easily.

Hope this helps! ... disco spinster   talk  02:21, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Tommy Boyd
You claimed that my entry about Tommy Boyd was unsourced when I clearly put the source (his October 21 playradio show, available on playradiouk.com as a podcast) in the entry. This is the entry:

"Tommy Boyd's October 21st show featured a skype call from America who Boyd immediately made the victim of some Anti-Semitic bullying, forcing the caller to defend the Holocaust. Boyd himself insisted that the fact that people had survived Auschwitz meant that there was no Holocaust. He did not let the caller respond to his Anti-Semitic assertions, instead cutting to commercial."

WHy are you covering up Boyd's Anti-Semitism? —Preceding unsigned comment added by LondonBoyo (talk • contribs) 05:04, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

IP Block Exemption
I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. NW ( Talk ) 19:15, 6 February 2010 (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 in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). 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) 19:39, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
