Talk:Main Page archiving

etc etc etc

Anyway, do you think it was okay that i moved the WP:RM manually and also created archive 88? Did i do the right thing to get Werdnabot to go to the new archive, by changing the code?

Its weird. Even though stats say that <1% are Admins, i still think half i know are admins. Simply south

deleted article

Hello, A brief article I wrote was deleted by you as "Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content". It was about a mostly forgotten old hardcore group (Damage), but in the context of a list containing many much more obscure bands that haven't been deleted, that categorization seems odd. What sort of information needs to added to indicate that the band in question wasn't "unremarkable"? potanka 19:37, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Recurrent vandalism by 204.38.101.7

Hi! User 204.38.101.7, blocked by Gurch on 20th December for repeated vandalism, seems to be at it again on the "French wine" page. Please accept my humble apologies if I've gone about reporting this the wrong way, I'm a complete newbie. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Philip Trueman (talk • contribs) 17:04, 10 January 2007 (UTC).

Template protections

Hello Gurch, I hope you are doing well. I noticed that you perm-protected Template talk:WikiProject Texas and some other templates today. If you don't mind, I would like to inquire as to your reasoning. That particular template has existing for a long time without any trouble. Did something specific prompt the protections? Do you have a certain criteria you are using to decide which ones to protect? Thanks very much for satisfying our curiosity. Johntex\^talk 07:01, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Seems like Semi-protection would be better suited with problem templates getting full protection. Morphh ^(talk) 19:49, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Protection on images

Please don't assume I ignored your warning; I uploaded two images yesterday, Image:Stop.png and Image:Stop X.png. Because Stop.png and Information.png were already protected, I forgot that Stop X.png wasn't. -- Renesis (talk) 20:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard#What is the status on this namechange?

I seemed to have sparked some criticism of your actions, and to fair I agreed with it, in the above thread and thought it only proper that you should be made aware of it. Since I cannot see that anyone has brought it up with you on your talk page, here is a heads-up.--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 22:17, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

My page has been the subject of vandals.

Please re-submit the following on Lee Nysted and ban the user that keeps changing my stats.

I have been in the music business for 30 years, playing for 40.

The obvious links to the name Lee Nysted can be traced back to Google or even Wikipedia.

Whoever has "protected" the page should be verified. If it is Chris_73, then that person should be aware that my company will pursue this issue until resolved.

Edit To Kombai

The edit to the Kombai article was an accident. There was vandalism on the page I intended to delete but my changes blanked the article by mistake. I intended to fix this but I became sidetracked before I could. I'm sorry, I didn't intend vandalism. – 24.3.46.220 04:40, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Geo-stubs

Hi Gurch - good to see you adding stubs to articles. Can I ask one favour though? Almost every country in the world now has its own separate geo-stub in the form CountryName-geo-stub (e.g., Italy-geo-stub, SriLanka-geo-stub). If you can add the country where possible when you stub, it'll save a bit more work further down the line. Cheers, and keep up the good work :) Grutness...wha? 05:02, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, laziness on my part. I'll try and use slightly more specific tags

Any help is still good work, even if it's just the geo-stub tag. I just wasn't sure whether you knew about the country tags. Grutness...wha? 05:13, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, feel free to drop by at WP:WSS, the stub sorting wikiproject. Any new stub sorter (and any returning stub sorter from years past!) is always welcome :) Grutness...wha? 05:30, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Uncategorized articles

Please be aware that putting a stub marker on an article, as you did with Adowal, isn't good enough - please put in an actual category. Stub categories are Wikipedia maintenance categories, not subject categories. Eli Falk 11:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
