Quick Question

Hi Joanne, Do you know if it is possible to see which people have a certain userbox on their personal pages? EKN 21:06, 17 April 2006 (UTC)EKN

User page vandalism

Joanne,

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page. What I did to offend the editor, I have no idea, but I'll take it as a complement. :o) EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 09:41, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Admin coaching

Hi! While User:Titoxd is on a Wikibreak, he gave me permission to do some leg-work concerning Esperanza admin coaching. I was curious how your coaching with User:Aaron is going. If it is finished (or even if it isn't), would you be able to take on another coachee? Don't feel guilty if you don't have the time- I perfectly understand, and wouldn't want anyone feel overworked. Thanks for all your time! EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 04:33, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you ma'am, see you in a few hours. --Alf 11:50, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I know it's a thousand edits late but cliché warning better late than never!. --Alf 19:01, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #2

==Welcome to VandalProof== Thanks for your interest in VandalProof! You've been added to the list of authorized users, and feel free to contact me or post a message on VandalProof's talk page if you have any questions. AmiDaniel (Talk) 10:37, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Names

Sorry about that. What I would like to point out, though, was that I had checked the page history, and, aside from the original Britannica text, it only had additons to relevant categories (so, no original contributions). Otherwise, I would not have attempted the move at all. I was also promted by the fact that a name of this length makes the category pages barf (especially in this case, where it is likely to meet name mastodons on either side), and because he is cited with the shorter version on French wiki. I did not mean "have it your way" as a way to attack you. Dahn 23:06, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

A Download Is Now Available

I just wanted to let you know that a download of VandalProof has recently been made available. AmiDaniel (Talk) 09:49, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Master of Arts

I reverted some of your dab edits yesterday, please see Talk:Master of Arts for an explanation. Tupsharru 17:04, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'm sorry, I thought I read that talk page (the top part of it looks familiar) but apparently I somehow missed the most essential stuff. I think it'd be a good idea to point to that Talk page on de project page, since it now says explicitly:

* Master of Arts — Links

— 399 main namespace links remain

— Just establish which university the degree comes from and select from the three options.

I've changed it on the project page, I hope that'll help. --JoanneB 18:34, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I changed the dab page a couple of days ago to be clearer about the fact that there are/have been other M.A. degrees, but it should really be a historical summary-style overview, once all subarticles are written and well-referenced (I won't hold my breath...). Tupsharru 04:46, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that's going to be quite a challenge, I assume, I noticed that there's much updating to be done. I hope to start on the article about Education in the Netherlands soon, since that's what I know most about, and work from there. --JoanneB 09:50, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

It's difficult. I have started working on an article on Swedish academic degrees. The problem I encounter is that most secondary sources, such as encyclopedias, give only information current at the time of publication, with a historical background limited to the immediate preceding decades. There is stuff on the topic spread all over the major multi-volume university histories, but it will take me time to sit down and distill that into an article. Tupsharru 10:38, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for moving comment to proper spot

Thanks, my brain was off for a few seconds there! --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 21:09, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

No problem, mine was too, check my second edit summary for that move :-) --JoanneB 21:10, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for blocking that user

Thanks for blocking ih8teachers. He's a student in the school I work for at the moment. He used my computer in the school's computer lab to vandalize my user page. Thanks again.

How long have you been an admin? (Please reply at My Talk Page under the talk section )

Anonymous anonymous 22:35, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm just curious :) Anonymous anonymous 22:43, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

A KISS Rfa Thanks

Thank you, I've been promoted. pschemp | talk 01:00, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Why did you revert edit of misrepresentation?

User:The_Man's_Plans has awarded himself fake barnstars spoofing the signatures of genuine editors. I cleared it.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.74.46.193 (talk • contribs)

You're right, sorry, I've corrected it. In the future, by the way, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~) so that it's clear who made the comment and when. Thanks! --JoanneB 16:17, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar

I am giving you the Order of the Flaming Hellpot barnstar for banning ih8teachers (It's in your user page). Thanks again. (Reply at my talk page)

Thank you

Thank you! Hello JoanneB. Thank you for your support in my RfA! It passed with a final tally of 91/3/5. I am quite humbled and pleased by the community's show of confidence in me. If you need help or just want to talk, let me know. Cheers! -- Fang Aili

Vandal

Wikipedian Sabadodo, has vandalized the University of the Philippines article twice. This is just minor vandalism but I think that it's a good idea to let an administrator know this.

Anonymous anonymous 19:08, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know! I will keep an eye on him. If there's ever a persistent vandal that you've already warned a few times recently, and who you think should be blocked, you can report him on WP:AIV. --JoanneB 07:56, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: your previous message to me: No worries at all! Thanks for editing!---User:7258, 07:52, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Your welcome! By the way: by adding "--~~~~", the right timestamp is automatically added, together with your name. Regards, --JoanneB 07:56, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Ioan Potcoava

Joanne, I need your help. Some poor soul hothead who cannot write in his own language has moved this page to Ioan Potcoava without noting that it already had a redirect for Ioan Potcoavă (which is the proper name, as in Romanian we use diacritics). Could I ask of you that you direct it to the proper name? Many thanks. Dahn 14:29, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

I might be looking at the wrong page history or move log, but what exactly was the original name of that article? Also, regarding your description here, but also in your edit summary in one of your edits to that article: please refrain from 'personal attacks', talk about fellow editors with respect even if you think they're very wrong... --JoanneB 16:06, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

hello

IRC Bot

Hi Joanne. Would you take a look at my talk page? Cool Cat informed me that his IRC Bot will no longer be running because of difficulties on IRC, and asked me to delete all of its files from his user space. I'm not sure why he wants them deleted, but he does. I am hesitant to proceed, though, now that I've discovered that some of the pages have edits by other users. You created several of the pages (e.g. User:Cool Cat/IRC Bot/Bg/lang-admin.txt); are they in fact longer needed? ×Meegs 21:15, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.1 is Now Available For Download

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.
