Phrasing on RfA votes.
Hi. Regarding this edit : While it is normal to indicate an "edit conflict support" this is often interpreted as a sign that many people are rushing to support. It could be unecessarily demoralizing for a candidate who is already failing at an RfA to see "edit conflict oppose." Therefore, it might make more sense to just state one's opposition and not note the edit conflict. JoshuaZ 00:37, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

August 6th, 2006 WP:RETF update
Note you are getting this because you are signed up on the RETF spamlist Hey guys. Before I do anything, I have to thank all these people who have helped me make RETF more bug-free via my challenge to them on the Language noticeboard. Some were redundant lines, and some were words that probably never appear in Wikipedia, but as I said, I don't want any false positives in RETF. THANKS GUYS! Now for the fixes and suggestions put on the RETF page:
 * User:ColourBurst for finding 7 lines to fix
 * User:Road Wizard for finding another 13 lines to fix!
 * User:MeltBanana for finding 6 lines
 * User:Skittle for finding 3 lines
 * User:Nunh-huh for finding 1 line
 * 'behaviour' is a legitimate UK English spelling --Guinnog
 * 'councellor' to 'councillor' when 'counsellor' could be the intended word. --mattbr30
 * "Costal" is a real word, meaning "related to the rib" — Mets 501 (talk)
 * 'judgemental' to 'judgmental'. According to my dictionary, both are equally acceptable. mattbr30
 * 'Adaptions' to 'Adaptations'. JoeSmack Talk
 * repond and variants -> respond --Guinnog

RETF development
I don't know what to say really. Something has come up and I might not be able to continue to update RETF after the next week or so.......I have put in countless sleepless nights of just me, my computer, and a case of Rockstar energy drink working on this. It has made me feel that I really am a devoted Wikipedian.

I have developed RegExTypoFix from a little hobby of mine into a full SourceForge project. I told a friend that I’ve worked 50 development hours in all. I have a really bad sense of time, but I’m sure it was more. I won’t lie, I am very proud of my work. Hopefully this will be used long after I leave.

To ensure that, I need a person/people to become admins on the RETF project. I don’t ask that you do anything but fix any errors that people report. There is a bit of a process to doing this, but I can teach you. Please send me a message on my talk page. Please my close friends only please, I hope you understand that I want to 100% trust this person. However, I might just hand it off to User:Bluemoose, as if he didn’t have enough on his plate =D.

Download + more
To keep an eye on RETF, you can use  and it will produce the box you see here =D. When AWB updates, I can turn it green on command =P

Extract  from the zip file either using the zip extraction tool provided with XP or use 7zip.

Under the new system that Martin (User:Bluemoose) developed Typos.xml is separate from the settings file. This way it can be easily swapped out and doesn't interfere with your own personal find and replace settings. Put it in the AWB directory. It is loaded automatically when you start AWB.

In addition, each Typos.xml file comes coded with a version number. Perhaps in some future release AWB will be able to check to see if there's an update for you!

The latest version is not built into AWB, you will have to download it here Just updated a few minutes ago. --mboverload @ 01:59, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

RockWay Press deletion
Hi My name is Persi and I would just like to ask if you have been following the discussion regarding the deletion of the article on RockWay Press. I have provided several very valid sources and it would mean a lot to potential authors who surf for information on this publisher to be able to read this article. If you have visited the sites that link from the article, you would see a lot of discussion from people like me who have been burned by this publisher and by scam publishers in general. I realize Wikipedia isnt a consumer protection site -per se - but it does have the visibility needed to help people learn more about this company in particular and about scam publishers in general. Preditors and Editors is the most reputable site in the publishing world regarding rating publishers. This weekend, they gave Rockway their red "Not Recommended" rating. However if you surf the name Rockway on Google, you will find that there is no connection to Rockway listed -- even if you surf hundreds and hundreds of listings. However, Wikipedia is the first listing on page two. There are thousands of people out there writing every day -- thinking they have what it takes to be the next Dan Brown. The publishing world is tough to break into - and when a company like Rockway offers what seems to be an easy entry, many people go for it - only to be burned big time. When a person writes, that work is their intellectual property. It is akin to giving birth to actually write a book. And it is unfortunate that people like Rockway can so easily take away not only your dreams but your intellectual property as well. Google Rockway, please. Note how high up on the listing the Wikipedia page is. Think about innocent victims all over the world who just might see that listing and read it before they send any money or sign anything. Realize that the article here also offers these people the ability to link to sites like Preditors and Editors where more information to help them is available. Not too long ago, I was a neophyte like that -- I had NO idea what Preditors and Editors even was. I came within a breath of signing away a very good book I put my life into to Rockway. Since then, I have joined with others who work within the industry to bring these scams to light. Please let us have the chance to reach more people through Wikipedia. Your positive comments would be much appreciated. This is not a personal matter -- if you read the Absolute Write site, you will see that only today a new victim posted. There are more and more every day. Thanks for listening. Persi
