Talk Page Protection
I have unprotected your talk page per WP:PP. Indefinite protections of talk pages are rarely used now and when talk pages are protected, should be accompanied by an unprotected subpage. If you continue to experience persistent vandalism, you may request a short term protection of your page at WP:RFPP. Mkdw talk 14:42, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Scottish Fairground Culture Editathon, May 2015
Hey there! As a Wikipedian in Scotland I thought you might be interested in the Scottish Fairground Culture editathon taking place on 7 May at the Riverside Museum - drop me a line if you'd like to know more, or if you'd be interested in taking part remotely! Lirazelf (talk) 12:29, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh dear, linkfail! Here's the correct one... Scottish Fairground Culture Editathon
 * Thanks for the offer, it's something I know a little about, both through my wiki editing on the Butlin fairground empire and through my off wiki frienships with the Taylor family (M&D's) and Horne family (Horne's Pleasure Fairs). Unfortunately life is so busy at the moment I find even checking pages on my watchlist a rare task let alone finding time to take part in an editathon. Hope you have great success - Stuart

Possible removal of AWB access due to inactivity
Hello! There is currently a request for approval of a bot to manage the AutoWikiBrowser CheckPage by removing inactive users, among other tasks. You are being contacted because you may qualify as an inactive user of AWB. First, if you have any input on the proposed bot task, please feel free to comment at the BRFA. Should the bot task be approved, your access to AWB may be uncontroversially removed if you do not resume editing within a week's time. This is purely for routine maintenance of the CheckPage, and is not indicative of wrongdoing on your part. You will be able regain access at any time by simply requesting it at WP:PERM/AWB. Thank you! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 23:36, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Yep, clearly not you. I think it's very likely to be a throwaway account from one of the blocked members of Wikipediocracy. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:05, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Edit summaries
A search tool...enjoy. —— Serial  07:27, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Doesn't Work for me - Just Downloads the source of Snottywong's script. Possibly not chmoded executable or something similar. (also reading the code, it looks like it used the now defunct toolserver don't know if that still works after they moved to wikilabs.) I think I used to know about this tool and used it to confirm those socks back in 2012. What I was thinking/talking about was checking all edit summaries across the project for the string and identifying the users that made those edits. Although it looks from the source code it could be amended to do that, might check with wiki labs to see if I could do something like that myself. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 08:58, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Ikr? It's total balls. Why it couldn't just generate a report in the usual fashion like other tools I don't know. ——  Serial  12:40, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Tried a couple of his other tools and they seem to be broken as well. I've replied where you saw my original comment, but for this discussion. We all have the ability to run queries on a copy of the live wikipedia database on the Wikimedia Cloud VPS called [//quarry.wmflabs.org/ Quarry]. In this case I'm running one to search for the Comment_text and linking the Edit Summary Table, and the Actors table (Which contains the list of a usernames) and return the actor_name (Username) who added a specific comment as an edit summary. So far it's been going an hour and still hasn't returned a result but then there are a lot of edit summaries to check. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 12:49, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
