Your monobook

FYI, I have added nowiki tags to your monobook.js file around a deletion script. Because the script contains {{db}}, your monobook was being added to CAT:CSD. This should fix that problem and ensure that no admin will accidentally delete your script. --BigDT 20:56, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Regarding copyright images

Hello Nick,

Thanks for the message, though made changes to the copyright images still they seem to have this problem.

infact there are four pictures added like: cbazaar_saree1, etc and all are showing this problem, hope this gets resolved at your convenience.

School deletion discussion list

Hi Nick,

Thanks for adding the New Mark Middle School to the schools deletion discussion list page (or whatever that page is called). I've been adding some things to that page, but it's a chore I won't be doing forever and I appreciate help from others. After I started, I noticed that the instructions on that page say to put the new additions on the top of the list rather than the bottom. If we keep that up, people will know where to look for something new. I've moved the New Mark school to the top of the list. Again, thanks. Best wishes, Noroton 04:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:RFCU and clerks

Greetings! A recent change has been made in the clerking system at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser. There are no longer any obstacles to editors who wish to help out in this areas, as the standby list has now been deprecated. You were listed as a volunteer on the standby list before it was deprecated. If you are still interested in helping out in this area, please:

• Consider adding yourself to the list of active clerks at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Clerks.
• In helping, please make sure you follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Procedures as it is very important to the process there to follow these instructions for smooth operation.
• Please remember "Trust between the clerks and the checkusers is essential. Clerks who persistently make problematic comments on requests or otherwise violate decorum may be asked by the checkusers to cease contributing here."
• Add Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Clerks/Noticeboard to your watchlist to stay up to do date on the latest communications happening regarding this role.
• "Be aware that this position is rather dull and carries no particular prestige; status-seeking will not be looked upon kindly."

I am not involved with the checkuser system. I am acting only to inform you of this change.

Also, I noticed you indicated you were primarily interested in clerking at WP:CHU and WP:CHU/U. Those areas also no longer have a waitlist. You can review Wikipedia:Changing username/Assistance for more information. Thank you. --Durin 14:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

AWB / NW557Bot

Hello Mets501. My bot, NW557Bot, was recently approved for user talk template substitution using AWB. I've noticed a little problem while running the bot which doesn't cause any harm but does result in some unnecessary changes. The vandalism templates {{uw-vandalism1}}, etc. have <!-- {{uw-vandalism#}} --> commented at the end so it can be identified which template was used when substituted. When AWB goes to substitute templates on a user page, it doesn't ignore commented out templates, so it ends up changing <!-- {{uw-vandalism#}} --> to <!-- {{subst:uw-vandalism#}} --> if there are any substituted templates on the page which are listed in the list of templates to be substituted. Because they're commented out, it doesn't really make any difference, but it is an unnecessary change. Perhaps a feature could be built into an upcoming version of AWB that would add an option to ignore commented out templates when performing template substitution (or if one already exists, please let me know). Thanks for your time. --Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 04:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Good idea. I'll try to code it into AWB now for the next version. —METS501 (talk) 04:57, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm, congratulations. If you would like to contribute more to cleaning up vandalism, perhaps you'd like to take a look at WP:CVU. Note, in the interest of full disclosure: I have edited the title given to this section by Uishtiek to remove content which would obviously be offensive to some.

Hi, seeing you have been involved in previous Afd debates on the subject I invite you to contribute to this discussion to clarify certain issues about football player notability.

Usurpation

Nick, when you suggest usurpation to users who request a taken account at WP:CHU, do remember that the crats won't perform usurpations when the account requesting it has very few edits. There's not much point in telling someone to make a request at WP:CHU/U when their request is bound to be turned down. For example, HacknMod has 6 edits (most of which to an article likely to be speedy deleted). He isn't realistically going to be allowed to usurp an account. WjBscribe 23:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for correct my mistake. --TeckWiz ^ParlateContribs_@(Lets go Yankees!) 17:54, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Btw, feel free to leave the notification yourself in future- the template is generic and doesn't have to be left by the user requesting the account... WjBscribe 18:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice, I'll remember that in the future! --Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 07:01, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Nick. I tried looking up usernames in use as per WP:CHU but figured since DjD pointed to my userpage I was in the clear.
