Dreamhost LLC asked for a rangeblock?
Hello James. You placed a rangeblock per an OTRS request on May 30. From the wording of your block notice I assume that Dreamhost LLC must have requested this. Now one IP from the range, 173.236.168.211 (talk · contribs), is requesting unblock. Can you offer an opinion at the Open Proxy noticeboard? I assume that if the ISP requested it, the block should not be undone unless they change their mind. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 15:18, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia NYC Meetup Sat Oct 16
|
New York City Meetup
|
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, review the recent Wiki-Conference NYC 2010, plan for the next stages of projects like Wikipedia Ambassador Program and Wikipedia Academy, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the May meeting's minutes).
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back.
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.
To keep up-to-date on local events, you can also join our mailing list.

Happy 10/10/10
I suppose I should've timed this message at 10:10:10 too, but frankly, I can't be arsed. You know how it is.
Did you know... that tenten in Japaense writing are a little wiggly thing, a bit like a quotation-mark, which makes e.g. "ka" (か) into "ga" (が) or "fu" (ふ) into "bu" (ぶ) ?
So, take time out to have a bit of a giggle.
All the best, and 10-10 'till we do it again. Chzz ► 08:49, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Accidental Vandal
Hi James, I tried to remove the orphan tag from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Midnight now that links have been added to other wiki pages but in the process I think I removed the poster image from the article! Sorry! Can you please restore? (129.96.234.165 (talk) 01:33, 20 October 2010 (UTC))
Will you help with User talk:Jamesofur/Archives6#Anne Aghion? This is the third time I've contacted you about this (previous time: User talk:Jamesofur/Archives7#User talk:Jamesofur/Archives6#Anne Aghion). Cunard (talk) 06:56, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
- Please answer my request. Are you able to help in this matter? Cunard (talk) 05:36, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hey Cunard, I'm sorry I've been so slow at getting back to you on this. I've been incredibly busy at work (it's 2:30am on a Saturday and I'm setting something up for example) and logging into this account is incredibly rare and quick noadays. I'm going to try and find you another good otrs agent I trust to follow up so that they can follow through a little quicker. I'll let you know by tomorrow evening . James (T C) 06:33, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you. No worries; work should always take precedence over Wikipedia matters. I hope this image licensing issue can be resolved so that the Anne Aghion's picture can be restored to the article. Cunard (talk) 06:43, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- So much more complicated when work IS Wikipedia matters :) James (T C) 06:54, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- It looks like User:Blurpeace Is going to help me out. I've given him some of the info now and will give more tomorrow when we're both a bit fresher but wanted to let you know. James (T C) 07:00, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- Sounds good. Thank you to both of you. Cunard (talk) 07:52, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
