Feb 23 Empornium spam edit?

Hi, I see that you have removed the link to the xxxtorrentsearch.com RSS feed for Empornium. I just tried to restore it, but lack the technical know-how with wikipedia to do this. Please restore it.

The wiki engine itself marked it spam, I was making another change and it would not accept it with that url in it. I suggest you talk to an administrator as to why this url is banned. HighInBC 23:55, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my typo

Doh, I should learn to use spell check eh :) -- Tawker 18:04, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

No prob, I find when reading an outside webpage I go crazy when I realize I cannot fix a typo on it. Besides it is the least I can do after your bot fixed the page blanking on Hashish this morning. HighInBC 18:07, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Date links

Thanks for your feedback about getting rid of dates in Nethack. If you would like to help reduce overlinking of dates, feel free to copy my regex from User:Bobblewik/monobook.js/dates.js. Caveat emptor. If you need any help with that, just let me know. Regards. bobblewik 01:44, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Nope, I prefer to do things by hand. HighInBC 01:52, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Marijuana Wiki

Hi there,

I see that you are a pro-Cannabis Wikipedian so I hope this will be of some interest to you.

I've started a Marijuana wiki (aka The Sticky Wiki) which I think you might be interested in. I'm hoping you can help me get started with this project. Whereas lots of articles about weed get speedy-deleted on Wikipedia, they would be totally cool over at MarijuanaWiki. But really I want the site to be more of a marijuana community than merely an encyclopedia.

To give you an example, I want to have city guides about where to score, find pot-friendly cafes, marijuana events, and what represents a good price in that city. Etc. (You can check out the featured article: "Toronto" to see what I mean). I also want to have grow diaries and marijuana blogs. All in all, basically more communal than encyclopedic.

I am in need of admins/moderators, and people experienced with MediaWiki to help build policy, categories, and templates, etc. If you'd be interested in helping me with this project, the URL is MarijuanaWiki

Thanks for your time and consideration. Hope to see you there!

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available

After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:30, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

What version were you using?

As concerns your post on [[User talk:AmiDaniel/VP/Bugs#{{prod | reason}} should be {{dated prod | concern = {{{concern | reason}}}|month = May|day = 20|year = 2006}}]]. If you were using v1.2 we have problems... if you were using v1.1 download 1.2 and tell us if you are still having problems. Either way, please stop by [[User talk:AmiDaniel/VP/Bugs#{{prod | reason}} should be {{dated prod | concern = {{{concern | reason}}}|month = May|day = 20|year = 2006}}|That section with the ungainly title:-)]] and post your response. Agian, if you are nolonger having problems, tell us that. Thank you.Eagle talk 07:40, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
