for getting a hold of us, it was a pleasure meeting you and thanks again for the info User:UDP
hi, I'm working on the German Wikipedia article about World Youth Day 2008 and I would love to use your picture of the Randwick Racecourse. However, I'm not familiar with moving pictures to commons and how to comply with the license and copyright rules. So maybe you can upload it yourself? Maybe you could cut out some of the foreground or maybe you could even provide another picture of the Raceground? TIA, --X-Weinzar 22:45, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

You marked the Electrical swivel connector page as advert. I think it is actually very likely just db-spam. The content is obviously an attempt to comply with the letter of the wikipedia policies, but it doesn't hide the fact that it is simply promoting a single commercial product, with a link to the web site of the vendor of the product. The creator of the page has also provided some edits to other related pages pointing to this page. Those are their only contributions. I can't, obviously, verify the identity of the creator, but the Hawaii connection makes one suspect they may be related in some way to the vendor of the product. Since I'm a new face on wikipedia, I'm reluctant to jump in an mark the page as db-spam myself, but I suggest you may want to consider doing so.

hey, thanks for all that, i'll listen tonight. let's hope i don't sound heinous on tape, i hate hearing my voice recorded :-) nice to have 'met' you, if you ever want to catch up and talk thesis let me know. tamsin 04:49, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
You asked for some one to interview. I guess I might be one candidate. If you don't mind a Swedish accent. I ended up as the coder of the meta template and CSS code for the new "article message box template standardisation project". In spite that I dislike such message boxes and think they should not be in the article, or at least not on top of the articles. But at least now they don't look ugly any more.
So, how does an interview work? Do you call over phone?
I'll be on-line for perhaps an hour more then I'll have to go to bed. You can reach me at my talkpage, or at irc.freenode.com with nick Mole2.
--David Göthberg 12:16, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Regarding your response on my talk page: I have a day rhythm disorder, so hard to say when I am awake and asleep. (I have no lack of sleep, instead my day+night is about 36 hours long.) But you can call me any time day and night, since I unplug my phone when I go to bed. Oh, and I can not run Skype on my computer, so you have to do a "Skype out" to my land line phone if we are going to talk. My phone number is +46-31-459856 . I promise that is not a mobile, so only AUD $0.031 per minute. If you are going to interview me you might be interested to see what my "day job" is: www.randpeer.com

Sure, I'd be happy to have my brains picked. Skype, IRC...? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 17:14, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Hmmmmmmmmm. User:Anonymous_Dissident/List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_DYKs. I think Piotrus and Ghirlandajo would have made a more logical pairing, especially if you can convince them to do a three-way chat :))) They are both very famous and great article writers and their interests overlap..... a lot. Ranked #1 and #3 on all time DYKs they are. It would make for a more exciting panel. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:50, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
As I will be purchasing a new computer this week, I thought that I might as well go ahead and buy a new set of headphones with mic for the interview. Since you seem to know something about these, could you offer a few recommendations? I listen mostly to classical music - that is what has to sound good. :) (I would prefer not to spend over $150, if that is possible.) I should have the new computer all set up in about two weeks or so. Awadewit | talk 05:19, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
(unindent) I only have part of the file. Perhaps your computer hibernated and stopped sending? Awadewit | talk 01:58, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm from the the Wikipedia Weekly Podcast and I was wondering if you would be interested in coming on the show for a 20-30 minute interview. We try and get a range of people to introduce "their section" of the project to showcase some of the interesting things people do here. You were reccomended to me by user:pfctdayelise as a perfect fit for this. What do you think? I'm based in Sydney, so there should be no time-difference issues. We record via Skype, so you'd need that programme and a headset microphone and broadband internet. Later this week maybe? Cheers, Witty Lama 00:16, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Witty lama. I thought I should check that you are aware that there is no Sydney-class
field in {{WP Australia}}. As far as I can see, there isn't any reason to have one, either - while the importance of an article to a WikiProject depends on the project, the quality of the article doesn't. The articles are sorted in to categories such as Category:B-Class Sydney articles based on their overall class
field. JPD (talk) 17:31, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Sydney-importance
and class
fields should be enough, but it won't be updated straight away and might take a few days to appear. If you have more questions, it might be best to ask User:Oleg Alexandrov, who runs the bot. JPD (talk) 11:11, 1 November 2007 (UTC)Hey there, WL. Thanks for making such a great program. I took a crack at the userbox you asked me to make – it's up at User:Scartol/ubx/WikWeekGuest. Notice on the usage directions there are two parameters which need to be filled in:
Here's what the 'box will look like on the user's page. The code for this example is:
{{User:Scartol/ubx/WikWeekGuest|33|http://wikipediaweekly.org/2007/10/26/wikipedia-weeekly-30/}}
This user was a guest on Episode 33 of Wikipedia Weekly. You can listen here. |
I look forward to hearing Awadewit on the next show. Cheers! – Scartol · Talk 11:36, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, that's a long story. He found out a cabal of ultra-right wing Hindu nationalist users, infiltrated their off-wiki mailing list/board for their co-ordinated Wikipedia campaign, and started RFArb. However, he made the mistake of revealing some of their emails here. So, instead of the cabal getting slapped, the RFA rather started focusing on Nirav's actions ... (not to mention the conflict of interest of an arbitrator and an admin). In the end, Nirav got fed up, requested to be de-sysopped, (he was de-sysopped in the RFA anyway, with no significant punishment for the cabal).
I'd say it is a great loss for Wikipedia ... :( --Ragib 00:11, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Here is a fun exchange...on authorship related "stuff". Awadewit | talk 09:02, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Sorry. --TheJosh 12:32, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
how sweet! thank's for sending me the code! btw: thesis is all handed in as of last friday, so if you're interested i can email you a copy.....?

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Telephone newspaper, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Telephone newspaper is unquestionably copyright infringement, and no assertion of permission has been made.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Telephone newspaper, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. CSDWarnBot 20:02, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Telephone newspaper, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Telephone newspaper satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Telephone newspaper and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Telephone newspaper during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Tijuana Brass 20:58, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
