== deleted image ==

hi,

do you remember what was the issue with the image of ''[[Mopsus (spider)|Mopsus mormon]]''? it's my favorite spider species, and i don't remember that the picture was copyrighted. such a pity :( cheers --[[User:Sarefo|Sarefo]] 20:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

==Thank you!==

Thanks so much for the barnstar! I truly appreciate it. :-) —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 05:11, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

== [[User talk:209.160.33.108]] just inserted links into an article [[World Social Forum]] ==

It came tonight after your final warning. [[User:Ronbo76|Ronbo76]] 06:43, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

:I've reported him to [[WP:AIV|AIV]]. [[User:Flyingtoaster1337|Flyingtoaster1337]] 07:16, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

== Cascading protection of salted pages ==

Cascading protection only works on transcluded pages. You'd have to transclude the pages in question before protection actually kicks. Just linking to them won't work. (Otherwise the featured article would be protected when it appears on the main page). - [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm]]|[[User talk:MacGyverMagic|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 13:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

==[[Template:Protected title]]==

I've written some documentation for the template at [[Template talk:Protected title]]. Please correct any errors as necessary. [[User:Flyingtoaster1337|Flyingtoaster1337]] 08:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

:This looks good. Thank you! —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 17:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


I found another glitch in the template - the activity log link breaks if the namespace name has spaces. We need to urlencode that as well. :/ So the fixed activity log link part would be: <pre><span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Log|page={{urlencode:{{#if:{{{ns|}}}|{{{ns}}}:|}}{{{1}}}}}}} activity log]</span></pre> [[User:Flyingtoaster1337|Flyingtoaster1337]] 16:42, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

:Done. Thanks again! —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 17:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

==Two last requests for today...==

I promise I won't disturb you for the next five hours or more - I got to sleep soon. :)

But before that I've two requests related to [[Wikipedia:Protected titles/Spam pages with nonsense titles]]. The first is to replace the code on that page with the version on the talk page (which I wrote after finally figuring out how {{tl|protected title}} really works). Some of the pages were not protected with the old, incorrect code. The second is to delete [[Talk:Action potential/index.php]], because it got re-created tonight and someone protected it the old way.

Thanks in advance. [[User:Flyingtoaster1337|Flyingtoaster1337]] 17:48, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

:Done. Enjoy your sleep! :-) —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 18:02, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

==Final cleanup of [[Template:Protected title]]==

Thank for your continued help! I was unfamiliar with the "lc:" syntax (which certainly streamlines the code).

I'm working on a slightly different implementation of your talk page protection idea, but I wasn't quite able to get it working. I need to sleep, but I'll resume my efforts when I get a chance.

Thanks again! :-) —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 08:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

== Mark Speight ==

Ok if the bio on Tv.com is copyrighted I will rewrite the information. So it is not in berach of copyright. <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:NeilEvans|NeilEvans]] ([[User talk:NeilEvans|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/NeilEvans|contribs]]) 15:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->

==The Hendre==

happy to add photos but don't know how to, or the rules re. copyright on Wikipedia. Have a few, poor, photos of my own (non-digital, taken a long time ago. Can these be scanned and uploaded?) Otherwise lots on the web, e.g. home page of the Rolls of Monmouth Golf Club, which now owns The Hendre. Can one just lift from these internet sites? KJP1

== [[WP:AIV]] ==

Thank you for making a report {{#if:{{{1|}}}|in respect of [[User:{{{1}}}]]}} on [[Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism]]. Removing and reporting vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and [[Wikipedia:Cleaning up vandalism|all users are encouraged]] to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to [[WP:BLOCK|block]] users if they have received a final [[Wikipedia:Template_messages/User_talk_namespace|warning]] (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them again to the AIV noticeboard. Thanks. <!-- Template:Invalid AIV --> &mdash;[[User:Xyrael|Xyrael]] / 11:36, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Flyingtoaster and thanks for reverting that nonsense off my user page. This anon has been bothering/stalking me for about a week now and it's all really bizarre and insane; the messages don't even make sense. Do you know if there is anything I can do to stop it? If not, I'll just put up with it until he/she gets bored. Thanks [[User:Rossrs|Rossrs]] 07:14, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

:since I left this message, I've noticed identical edits and edit summaries being made by a registered user who I had suspected of also being the anon IP's. I've been working on a sockpuppet submission. Do you think that would be a mistake? I mean, when I thought it was just the anon, I'd been thinking waiting it out might be the way to go, but now I feel a bit differently. [[User:Rossrs|Rossrs]] 09:21, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

::thanks again. I appreciate your reply. [[User:Rossrs|Rossrs]] 13:50, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

==What becomes of our [[WP:PT|handiwork]]?==

Hmm... it seems that discussion on the protection of titles has died down on [[WP:VPR|Village pump]]. Some sysops are now using it, some sticking to {{tl|deletedpage}}. Should we TfD {{tl|deletedpage}} to bump everything over to a common system? :o) [[User:Flyingtoaster1337|Flyingtoaster1337]] 14:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

:I see no need for a TfD debate. It's clear from that discussion that consensus exists for the new system (which obviously is working well), so we should simply make the necessary arrangements to transfer everything over (via bot) and add a notice of deprecation to {{tl|deletedpage}}. —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 14:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
