==Adminship?==
Hi, I was wondering if you might be interested in becoming an [[WP:Admin|administrator]] on Wikipedia? Having looked through your contributions, I think you have sufficient experience to do a good job. If you are willing to run at [[WP:RFA|RFA]], I would be happy to nominate you. <strong style="font-variant:small-caps">[[User:WJBscribe|WJBscribe]] [[User talk:WJBscribe|(talk)]]</strong> 01:11, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

:Just an editor, never commented in an RFA before, but my two cents are: per [[WP:ANI#Returning_troll]], Wikipedia needs mores Kiwi and Aussie admins - indeed, more admins outside Europe and North America.

Hi, I just noticed [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_dog_breeds&diff=next&oldid=242869470 your edit] to List of Dog Breeds; capitalising the first letter of the category name doesn't appear to be necessary.

Two things :

# It would be great if the dykcredit tab is able to hide itself except "User_talk:" space; My other scripts in monobook.js is able to do so, you may want to borrow part of its code.

:I've modified the script so that the tab only appears when a link to give DYK credits is followed. So on an ordinary edit page, no tab should appear but if you follow the credit link in this: {{DYKmake|Some article|Ameliorate!}} the tab should appear. Aside from that I'm stumped about that bug that made the pluses show up, the URL for the credit link includes <code>articleget=Article+name</code> and the script pulls the name from there, pluses and all, but there's a line of code that replaces any plus with a space, the only thing I can think of is that when you clicked the tab, the script hadn't completely loaded and so the pluses were never replaced. I've tried to replicate it but can't seem to, would you mind following the credit link for List of awards and nominations received by Green Day (in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Did_you_know/Next_update&oldid=243000673 this revision]) and seeing if clicking the tab adds pluses again?

Hi, I just noticed a case of AmeliorationBot making a change that didn't really fix anything, and thought you might want to know.

Adminship?

Hi, I was wondering if you might be interested in becoming an administrator on Wikipedia? Having looked through your contributions, I think you have sufficient experience to do a good job. If you are willing to run at RFA, I would be happy to nominate you. WJBscribe (talk) 01:11, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, if you are, I'll certainly support you. ~ Troy (talk) 01:27, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
Just an editor, never commented in an RFA before, but my two cents are: per WP:ANI#Returning_troll, Wikipedia needs mores Kiwi and Aussie admins - indeed, more admins outside Europe and North America.
Happy to lend my support.
Cheers,  This flag once was red  20:00, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
I'd be happy to write a co-nom if you and WJBscribe won't object to it. - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 23:11, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
I would be happy to accept a co-nom. And I'd like to thank Troy and Flag for their offers of support, much appreciated :) ~ User:Ameliorate! (with the !) (talk) 06:40, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I am a later getting this finished than I had intended. Best of luck, WJBscribe (talk) 15:38, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I've written up the nom, and it's good to go. All the best for your RfA! - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 16:52, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Your edits

Hi, I just noticed your edit to List of Dog Breeds; capitalising the first letter of the category name doesn't appear to be necessary. For example; in this version the link to Category:Dog types appears the same as in this version where you had fixed it, so the edit (and the others like it) seem rather inconsequential. ~ User:Ameliorate! (with the !) (talk) 09:55, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

It is part of the WikiProject Check Wikipedia in which such small things as categories beginning with a small letter are fixed. Giving each category a big letter is very useful for people who use the dump. Please contact Stefan Kühn for more information. Dr. Breznjev (talk) 10:04, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

dykeasymode.js

Two things :

  1. [1] Click on the dykcredit tab gave this tonight
  2. It would be great if the dykcredit tab is able to hide itself except "User_talk:" space; My other scripts in monobook.js is able to do so, you may want to borrow part of its code.

- Cheers, Mailer Diablo 22:58, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I've modified the script so that the tab only appears when a link to give DYK credits is followed. So on an ordinary edit page, no tab should appear but if you follow the credit link in this: Some article – Ameliorate! (give) (tag) the tab should appear. Aside from that I'm stumped about that bug that made the pluses show up, the URL for the credit link includes articleget=Article+name and the script pulls the name from there, pluses and all, but there's a line of code that replaces any plus with a space, the only thing I can think of is that when you clicked the tab, the script hadn't completely loaded and so the pluses were never replaced. I've tried to replicate it but can't seem to, would you mind following the credit link for List of awards and nominations received by Green Day (in this revision) and seeing if clicking the tab adds pluses again? Thanks, ~ User:Ameliorate! (with the !) (talk) 06:28, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Note to self: Script could auto tag the article talkpage when the link is clicked. ~ User:Ameliorate! (with the !) (talk) 15:33, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

WP:ANIME bot run

Will you run the bot again to regenerate this list filtered through this list? Thanks! ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 23:23, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Sure. I'll do it later tonight. ~ User:Ameliorate! (with the !) (talk) 06:33, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 Done :) ~ User:Ameliorate! (with the !) (talk) 14:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
