Happy Easter to all of you, and I hope that this version may fix your current problems and perhaps provide you with a few useful new tools. You can download version 1.1 at User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof. Let me warn you, however, to please be extremely careful when using the new Rollback All Contributions feature, as, aside from the excessive server lag it would cause if everyone began using it at once, it could seriously aggitate several editors to have their contributions reverted. If you would like to experiment with it, though, I'd be more than happy to use my many sockpuppets to create some "vandalism" for you to revert. If you have any problems downloading, installing, or otherwise, please tell me about them at User:AmiDaniel/VP/Bugs and I will do my best to help you. Thanks.

Hi there. Just to say, in case you've not spotted it, that you may have a couple of replies to postings you've made on the discussion page of plankton. It looks like people have mistaken that talk page for this one. Cheers, --Plumbago 08:33, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed your joke, it could get Wikipedia in a lot of toruble.

You left a message on Martin's talk page saying that Avillia has made a version of AWB that does not require authentication. I understand you mean by this - he/she has tweaked the code so that users do not have to be approved. However, what is your proof for this? I do not see anything indicating this on your talk page, Martin's talk page, Avilla's talk page, or the AWB's talk page. I also do not see any AWB-like edits in Avillia's recent contributions. I am not assuming bad faith, I am simply asking for evidence so I can understand the problem more thoroughly and, hopefully, prevent it. Thank you for pointing this out! --M@thwiz2020 16:12, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Uh-oh. The real AWB is copyrighted by Martin, so I submitted an abuse report on the website that hosts the hacked version. --M@thwiz2020 16:21, 22 April 2006
As I said to another person who removed a previous reference to her, the contribution should be viewed in the context of the preceding paragraph about Betty. Please tell me why "whose performances show real enjoyment and enthusiasm." is unacceptable whereas "is popular amongst her audience for her very rough and straight-forward approaches)." is?
Btw I suggest you move your reply to me from the User:195.188.152.12 user page to the discussion page.
I have to say I think your deletions are very heavy handed. The comments about the actresses performances are an attempt to say why they are popular, not to present a biased viewpoint. They are popular. Why? Because their performances are thus.
I should have also said that the sentence about Betty has been in there since the inception of the page.

I have been unable to contribute much time to wikipedia lately. I doubt I’ve had more than 10 edits(if that many) since last year. However, things are starting to go better. When I’m able to dedicate more time again I will try to revitalize it. The other major contributors appear to be distracted elsewhere as well. Your welcome to try to get it going again.

I you place a break ({{-}}) after "please don't change the space between these it is the only way it appears correctly in IE -->", then it will format correctly in other browsers as well.

The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service.
This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome!
Note from the editor
As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!
Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel.
A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect.
Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct.
Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop.
I redirected CAD to CAD (disambiguation), but it was immediately reverted by you using VandalProof. That page was simply a less-comprehensive version of the latter page, and the redirection was totally in keeping with the sentiments expressed on its talk page.

I think some users/admins might bend their requirements of being on Wikipedia for a certain length of time in this case. Even though he's only been here for about three months, there's over 2,000 article edits. I think it would be 50/50 as to whether he wins a nomination or not. — nathanrdotcom(Got something to say?

Previously, various notices regarding Community Justice have gone out to our members; though this is the first actual newsletter. This issue will contain information regarding decisions made on the first meeting, our new council, and more...!
In the last meeting, the conduct of 4 members were discussed. Ethnopunk will be put on probation, supervised by Ian13, if he/she is uncivil during this probation, he/she will be expelled from WP:CJ; the same was decided for Misza13 (voluntarily), and his probation will be supervised by Computerjoe. No action will be taken against Computerjoe.
Barnstar
The Civility Barnstar which our member's have designed has been sent to Barnstar and award proposals. We'd appreciate your feedback!
Also, we are planning to make a Community Justice barnstar to give to hard-working CJ members. If you're a budding designer, consider trying to make it, then post your proposal to WT:CJ!
Name and logo change
There has been no consensus reached regarding changing our name and/or logo neither at WT:CJ nor at WT:CJ/M/1. While suggestions are still welcome, no action will be taken at this time.
Programs
We are going to try to create programs to more actively involve our members. If you have any ideas, please drop a line at WT:CJ. We will try to work with WP:ESP on one of these programs, at some point in the future.
Thanks!
Thank you for your time. If you need anything, feel free to comment at WT:CJ or come into our IRC channel [1].
Computerjoe wishes to extend his thanks to User:Robchurch, a non-member who assisted in making {{tracker}} redundant, as well as Misza13 for his continued support and to the whole of this and the previos council.
Newsletters should be proofread. There's at least one typo in this, the green colour 'bleeds' out from the newsletter onto the rest of the page, etc. :) — nathanrdotcom(Got something to say? Say it.) 21:14, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I noticed the above page the other day and only now got around to looking at it. It seems pretty innocuous except for one line:
I will be loyal to them no matter what they are going through even if it means being banned for doing so
This could be read as a pact with your friends to go to the extent of putting your personal affiliations before Wikipedia in your work on the wiki. I'm sure this isn't what you intended, so could you try rewording it, please? --Tony Sidaway 17:11, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.
Important: This talk page is becoming very long. Please consider archiving.
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) 02:32, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Community Justice is no more. It has been reformed to Concordia. Membership has been transferred.
Concordia is an organization of editors on Wikipedia that strive to encourage civility and fair treatment among all editors in the Wikipedian community, from the Wikignome to the Wikiholic. The project was designed to have a friendly and helpful environment to support any unfortunate Wikipedians that have become victims of incivility, hostility, or continual disrespect.
We currently need help in getting going, and making the community understand our aims. We work for civility. Nothing more, nothing less.
If you have ideas, let us know at our talk page, or on the IRC channel. We aim to spread civility in every way we can.
I recommend that you should choose a lighter color for your talk page background, as its sort of hard to see the text. Cheers,☆TBC☆ 17:38, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your full support and gracious comment at my request for adminship which ended at the overwhelming and flattering result of (160/1/0), and leaves me in a position of having to live up to a high standard of community expectation. You can see me in action and observewhatthenhappened as a result. If you need admin assistance, feel free to ask me. Naturally, if I make any procedural mistakes, feel free to point them out. I look forward to working with you in the future, hopefully as an admin - and soon. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 03:23, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe most people think you're a girl because your writing style tends to fall in that category. Guys tend to write in passive voice much more and use a lot less personal pronouns in communication. It's not a big deal, it's just someone's subconcious trying to piece together a person's identity based on patterns in sentence structure. You are also much more involved with your friends than most guys would ever be, many men have a problem with platonic intimacy. I hope this answers your question from your userpage!-- The ikiroid 14:31, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I always thought you were a boy! SergeantSnopake 15:44, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I see that now. (Throwaway comment - not related to your sig) I really hope you get made an admin! SergeantSnopake 16:01, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, never say die, you're not doing too badly. 26 supports and 8 opposes. You've got over three times as much! SergeantSnopake 16:30, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed that your RfA seems a bit stressing. While some of the people there really should have elaborated on what they meant, and some may have come off as harsh, I am sure that they had good faith. I am not saying that you think otherwise, but just a freindly reminder. RfAs are usually the most stressful things on Wikipedia (aside from RfBs...heaven forbid), once you become an admin there is nothing (usually) that will ever be that stressful. I hope you are doing well; you certainly seem to handling yourself quite well on the RfA. Happy editing :) - Voice-of-AllTalk 17:03, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We are running out of images! We only have 2 days left of images! Please contribute to the image pages. Thanks, --GeorgeMoneyT·C 01:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen you around(I guess I'm going to meet you through George) but I hope your RfA turns out well!! I have to go though, so don't expect a reply in at least ten hours. OreosTalkContribs 01:55, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you could make it so instead of having it easy for you to see on this page, make it easy on the other page. --GeorgeMoneyT·C 02:05, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Now I have made it so instead of people getting mad at you, if you want to read your messages clearly, go here. Now, everybody is happy. --GeorgeMoneyT·C 05:25, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I am hereby awarding you the Surreal Barnstar for your loyalties to friends page, regardless of how other Wikipedians think of you for it. ~LinuxeristA/C/E/P/S/T/Z This test will remain here until images are reallowed in signatures. 03:55, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Is your new signaure supposed to be a bunch of question marks, or am I missing the proper rendering support? Here's what it looks like to me: 我爱浮游生物(ILovePlankton). --TantalumTelluride 05:23, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's how it renders to me too. — Nathan(talk) 06:36, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I can see the chinese characters under my home Linux. But not under Windows (at the university), still Firefox, where it's only "??????". Then again, there's still sigs that don't render correctly for me (like Fang Aili's old one (Fang Aili說嗎?), where the first superscripted symbol renders to me as a "unicode box" and the last one as a "?" (or it should be?), while the central one is correct). Misza13TC 10:57, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
LOL...unless I am mistaken, it says "I love plankton" in simplified chinese.-- The ikiroid 14:11, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I, for one, see it with no problems. I see chinese characters, then ILovePlankton super scripted. ~LinuxeristA/C/E/P/S/T/Z 03:14, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm using IE now, and it looks like a bunch of boxes instead of question marks. Even the question marks that I thought I copied and pasted above have turned into boxes, which means you are probably actually seeing the chinese characters in the example I provided. Sorry about the confusion. --TantalumTelluride 17:20, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I was seeing the chinese characters. LINUXERIST@ 03:55, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Perfectly percolated Esperanza blend coffee, just for you!Don't let your RfA and people breathing down your neck get you down! You are a fantastic contributor to Wikipedia, no matter what anyone may say. Have some nice Esperanza coffee to relax a bit. -- Natalya 18:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the message and not taking it too personally. You voted "Super Speedy Keep" on an article. To me this seemed to demonstrate a lack of knowledge of the relevant guideline. Hence, I voted oppose because I didn't want an someone who votes like that to be closing AfDs as an administrator. Ashibakatock 00:03, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Non-admins can still close AfDs as any kind of keep (of course they can't close it as delete). --GeorgeMoneyT·C 00:48, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that Linuxerist, all the people telling me not to get to stressed has helped me a lot. ILovePlankton 02:36, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, great! I hope you stay at Wikipedia! ~LinuxeristA/C/E/P/S/T/Z 02:49, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about your RfA, I'm honored I got the chance to support you;however, some people who didn't know you personally didn't understand what a delighftul, smart lover of plankton you are; don't take that as a personal thing, but they just voted on a digital number of edits. And I won't say anything about stress and all that jazz; you're intelligent and sincere enough to know not to let it get you down. Cheers, and I'll probably see you around soon, Master of PuppetsFREE BIRD! 03:25, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Natalya already, but you already know this. Damn this editcountitis :| — Nathan(talk) 04:16, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I hate it when people judge based on what namespace they edit most and how many edits you have. Wikipedia wants to encourage all kinds of editors. --GeorgeMoneyT·C 04:19, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I was alluding to the fact that you had 2,459 edits in March 2006, but only about half of that in April and May combined[3], so I was a little bit worried that you might already be burning out. I will consider changing to support if you can address that concern, and depending on your answers to the other questions at the bottom. — Jun. 4, '06[04:49] <freak|talk>
Wikipedia:Random picture of the day (formerly User:GeorgeMoney/potd) has been nominated for deletion by Hetar because he doesn't like a rule that could have just been discussed on the talk page instead of nominating it for deletion. Please vote on the MfD page. Thanks, GeorgeMoneyT·C 15:27, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The use of your automatic edit tool has too many false positives. I do not see why I should fight to stop your machine from removing my common sense edits. For example, Not-for-profit redirects to Non-profit_organization, which is good. Not_for_profit, the same but with just underscores rather than hyphens, should also redirect there, rather than the short nonsense page that is currently on Not_for_profit. However when I try to change it, your stupid bot stops me. Do not use your bot wen you are asleep, that is so rude to non-American users. [User:82.36.234.10]
Congrats on doing as well as you did on your RFA. I am certain you will be able to make it one day. Vandalproof is an interesting approach, I must say. :) LINUXERIST@ 03:34, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
So will I (vote, that is). I'm really sorry about it. Some people come across as very narrow minded *mutters away under breath*.Stupid opposing users...SergeantSnopake 09:58, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hey man! You're welcome. You deserve it imo ;) Cya! Whopper
On the bright side, most of the oppose votes were for a couple of fixable reasons. So you might succeed in a couple of months! Where(talk) 13:03, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Also, few if any of the oppose votes commented on you as a person. Almost all of the support votes did. Therefore: people like you :)
Sorry about your RfA, and next time I'll vote support again. I'm sure that one day (one day soon) you'll make a great admin! The Halo (talk) 14:05, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, it's sad to see your nomination fail. Here's to better luck next time! --Merovingian {TC@} 01:41, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I just noticed this edit, where you seem to be asking me a question. I'd say that, yes, everyone should really try to be civil. I think people shouldn't post threaded arguments in RfC outside views. I think users shouldn't have messy signatures. But the only thing I was really trying to communicate was that I didn't think that Ral315 was being at all incivil. The reason that we get wound up about WP:CIVIL is because creating a hostile agressive environment gets in the way of collaboratively editing together. It shouldn't ever be used as a shield against all criticism of actual edits. We are trying to build an encyclopedia, and we do need to be able to say "That edit is just not good". Correspondingly, Ral315 really should be able to say "That signature is messy" -- that isn't hostility. It isn't incivil of someone to tell him he's wrong about it, but it is a little weird to slap his wrist for potentially making someone feel bad. Jkelly 23:35, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
