How do you perform antivandelism (is that how you spell it?)? I'd like to start doing so but I have no clue how to. Can you help?--9548coolgirl(talk) 23:21, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

It's spelled antivandalism, and I'll post at User:MisterWiki/Adopt-a-User how to do it, but wait, it will take a little while. --MisterWiki talk ^{(SIGN/REVIEW)} 23:27, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

Please read Anti-Vandalism.

Please read how to fix your signature here. --MisterWiki talk ^{(SIGN/REVIEW)} 23:32, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

BOT

Can you show me the page where you submitted your bot for approval for its tasks?--Crossmr (talk) 01:43, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Warning

This is unacceptable. We have a policy here called no personal attacks, and calling another user an idiot because they don't like your spam-like welcome message is unacceptable. Do not do it again.— Dædαlus ^Contribs 04:39, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/MisterWikiBot

Hi there Mr. Wiki. Just letting you know that I've had to decline your recent request for approval, as it's an unsuitable task for a bot. See the request page for details. Please feel free to contact me on my talk page if you need some help with a bot in the future. Best, - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 16:47, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Re ANI and your welcome message

I've noted this on the ANI thread, but I'll also leave it here to be sure you see it. We don't mass-welcome new accounts because many people create accounts that are never used, or go on to use them for vandalism, so there's no point wasting the server space. It's good to see your guestbook link has gone from the template; Wikipedia isn't myspace/bebo/whatever, and users that treat it as such are eventually asked to leave. The pictures you're using don't seem to bear much relation to the text they're alongside; if you want to use images it might be worth finding more suitable ones. Also, the message's grammar is wrong; we ask questions, we don't tell them. That's important because it doesn't give a very good first impression to new users joining a serious, knowledge-based site like ours.

The most important thing, though, is running an unauthorised bot. This will result in a block if it happens again. You get full marks for effort, and for trying to make Wikipedia a more welcoming place, but I strongly suggest you run these ideas past other editors (such as at the village pump) before diving in next time :) All the best, EyeSerene^talk 17:35, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

OK. I've stopped forever my welcome-bot. --MisterWiki talk ^{(SIGN/REVIEW)} 17:50, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Edit: I've requested a bot account and I'm waiting for consensus. Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/MisterWikiBot (2nd) --MisterWiki talk ^{(SIGN/REVIEW)} 17:56, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: First Edit

Thanks for my First Edit anniversary, I totally forgot about it, I really appreciate it. :) Have a nice day. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 17:57, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Suggestion

This does not exceed the limit of 255 characters, and can easily fit in the raw signature box, so please move it there. If you will not, move it to a .js subpage, as only you can edit those. Currently, it can be vandalized by anyone.— Dædαlus ^Contribs 20:32, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Can you protect it, I think I will not change it again. --MisterWiki talk contribs 20:36, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

I see no need to protect it when it can fit in the box that contains your signature in your preferences. It is smaller than 255 characters, which is the limit for the raw signature box.— Dædαlus ^Contribs 20:38, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Concur - move it to the preferences to avoid having to make a call that page every time you sign. –xeno^talk 20:41, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Try again with the changes I made [1]. –xeno^talk 20:43, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Nope, still the same. --MisterWiki talk contribs 20:45, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

I didn't really mind your welcome bot

MisterWiki, as a completely new user, I didn't know what to make of your surprising welcome message except for what it was: a friendly, helpful welcoming message with a timely reminder to sign my edits. It also contained a rich source of wiki editing syntax for further study. Now having read the objections to your bot at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents, or is this how to link it with double brackets: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents I conclude that some policy was broken. Later I will try to understand these policies which appear to restrict certain kinds of communication. There does certainly appear to be plenty of discussion about what users/editors should or should not do, a boiling cauldron of activity. Meanwhile, I want you to know that I appreciated your welcome anyway, even if only from a bot. Keep your cheerful attitude. --Rahula2 (talk) 00:16, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Reverting a change of yours

I've reverted a change you made to this file. Typically, for non-free images, we don't do above 300 pixels on a side. I chose 200 pixels because that is the ideal with of cover images in the infobox this file is used in.--Rockfang (talk) 08:42, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Template talk:Did you know

Hi there. Unfortunately, your nominations of Modern Talking and Pichilemu had to be rejected. Please remember that the "Did you know?" section on the Main Page is not a general trivia section. You are invited to nominate articles for DYK of course but please remember that they need to have been created or expanded fivefold within 5 days. Regards SoWhy 17:41, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
