OK, that sounds fine. jj137 ♠ Talk 22:16, 2 December 2007 (UTC) Thank you[edit]Thank you for taking care of the problem on the Xavier House page. I was really shocked when I saw my name on there earlier. Vicki —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.1.3.8 (talk) 01:53, 5 December 2007 (UTC) Sound files[edit]Hi there! Whenever I am logged in, I notice that media boxes containing sound files have the text and the "play" button going out of the margin. Yet, when I'm logged out, they appear neatly with everything inside the margin. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it has something to do with my JavaScript. If so, could you tell me a code I could type so that it can be corrected? Please reply on my talk. Thanks! (SUDUSER)85 13:06, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Admin creating account?[edit]Hi, thank you for helping me to create my alternative account User:EdmundEzekielMahmudIsa! But may I know the difference of we create an account by ourselves with an admin creating an account? Can you please explain to me the whole procedure of how did you help me to create the account? Thank you. --King Edmund of the Woods (talk) 09:34, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
So do you mean that after you type a password in the form, you clicked on the "By e-mail" button so that I receive an e-mail containing the temporary pasword? --King Edmund of the Woods (talk) 13:22, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
So after you've clicked on that button, was the account creation done, or you still need to click on the other button? --King Edmund of the Woods (talk) 14:11, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks a lot! That's weird because I double checked. I "fixed" it and will wait a bit to see if the problem persists at next purge. And I'm gonna slap myself for not being more prudent ;) -- lucasbfr talk 16:19, 25 December 2007 (UTC) Happy New Year, Tra[edit]
Hi Tra, Please add move protection (sysops only) to this. As it was removed when the page history was deleted. Thanks! The Helpful One (Talk) (Contribs) (Review) 19:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC) User watchlist[edit]I installed your tool today, and it seems to work under Linux/Firefox.

Over six months[edit]I just wanted to say that you've been an admin for over six months now. Thanks for being such a great candidate, and an excellent administrator. I'm proud to have been your nominator. Acalamari 00:05, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Yates Racing Histroy Merge[edit]Thanks for history merging the Yates Racing page. I'm not sure if this is possible but the 6 edits from Sept 8 2007 you mentioned at Talk:Yates Racing should be moved into the edit history of Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing as those 6 edits only deal with the IndyCar team rather than the NASCAR team. Thanks again -- Cmjc80 (talk) 02:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Your non-admin username[edit]I've just blocked your alternative username of Tra non-admin (talk · contribs), then realised it is an account you intend to use when you're not using Wikipedia administrator functions. Do you edit Wikipedia from multiple locations by chance, and not wish to login as an administrator from the second location for security reasons? Usually, usernames containing the word 'admin' are blocked as per the Username policy. I thought it best to run my actions past you to determine why this second account was in fact created. -- Longhair\talk 13:39, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Archive list[edit]I must complement you on your rewrite of {{archive list}}. It's absolute genius. MrKIA11 (talk) 17:27, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
WikiProject Big Brother Newsletter - April 2008[edit]
→ Please direct all enquiries to the WikiProject talk page. Another History Merge[edit]Hi Tra, I've come across another history merge that needs to be fixed similar to the reconstruction that was applied to Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing and Yates Racing last month. The edits made to Wood Brothers Racing prior to August 14 2006 need to be moved to JTG Racing. Once that is done, the edits to Wood Brothers prior to August 14 2006 need to be moved to Wood Brothers Racing. A major problem here is that as it stands now, the Wood Brothers Racing page started as a completly different article. Thanks -- Cmjc80 (talk) 01:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Huge Village pump archive index[edit]Hi there. I'm a little concerned about the size of Wikipedia:Village pump/Archive index which you created on Jan 1, 2008. Curently it's 1,162,671 bytes of wikitext, and it takes a very long time to load. Linked from Wikipedia:Village pump archive, this index looks like a trap for users with not very fast computers. And even after the page is loaded, it doesn't seem all that useful, because too many users create meaningless section headers. Mainly for this last reason, may I suggest that you unlink this index from Wikipedia:Village pump archive and edit it so that bot will stop updating it? I already added google search links that imho are much more useful. —AlexSm 03:51, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

But it no longer functions due to the removal of query.php API. If possible, could you please fix it? Thanks a lot! --yuzhong (talk) 04:50, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

As it happens I was already aware of the page history which I've long used routinely. The problems with this particular user are beginning to seem quite complex and deep-rooted and I was anxious to try and keep some the history of his apparent vandalism and general antics together. By allowing tags etc to become deleted and then having to trawl through the history page causes significant fragmentation of the case. I'm looking into problems with this particular user and hoping to enlist the support of an editor with appropriate experience and authorities (including check). Alternatively I'm considering adding a summary of what I have found out so far to report on WP:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism. If you have any recommendations or advice I'd be pleased to hear from you, though preferably here on your own talk page (which I am currently watching).

My own takeoff of your script[edit]Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I have created a script based off of your sidebar translator. Next to every language that google can translate, it puts a link to the google translation. I made it by modifying your script, so I wanted to make sure you don't mind. My script is at User:TachyonJack/gTranslate.js. It should work regardless of whether your script is also on. Incidentally, how does one 'publish' a script that others might be interested in. I don't remember where I found the link to yours. --TachyonJack (talk) 19:53, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Sidebar translate duplicity[edit]On your sidebar translate script, 'Kreyòl ayisyen' is first translated to 'Hatian', and later (this never runs because of the break) to 'Hatian Creole'. I suggest that the first case statement should be removed, leaving the second one. Thx. ManishEarthTalk • Stalk 09:25, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees[edit]Hello Tra. On April 2010, Bishakha Dutta was appointed into the Board of Trustees in the Wikimedia Foundation. She has become the first Indian in this Board, and also the first woman (if I am not wrong). The source of this information is this :- [1]. It is a reliable source. I suggest that this be added to the concerned article, as it can have significant impact on the creation of Wikipedia India. Cheers, Ankitbhatt (talk) 08:07, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm hoping you can help me with the challenges I face there in improving that particular Wikipedia article to be more informative to visitors, consistent with NPOV. First of all, I'm a relative Wikipedia newbie, but I have a masters degree and am also a published author, including the book "Cyberspace: The Human Dimension," published by W.H Freeman and used as a textbook at Duke and other leading universities, so I think I'm well qualified in the area of scholarly judgment, analysis of bias, and other such matters of critical thinking. I would think Wikipedia would value having people like me contributing, but my experience in relation to this article has been absolutely dreadful. The article when I first found it was all but useless, and as I attempted to improve it (by inserting a more helpful definition from UCLA, clarifying that it was categorized as neo-Marxist thought, and providing additional critical context for the current controversy), my attempts were met with initially positive feedback. Then, however, some blatantly biased partisans got engaged in the process - it's easy to identify the ones who have been obviously biased by their own writings - and have made a mockery of my attempts to be civil and engage them in dialogue about how to properly present the controversy in a balanced way, with often fallacious appeal to obscure points of the Wikipedia creed (don't know what else to call it) with no consideration to what I consider the more important matters of Wikipedia's purpose and NPOV. I know you don't have time to follow the entire history over the past two weeks, but I honestly believe my original submission was much better than the absurdity that's there now, and I also sincerely believe that my most recent attempt at a balanced revision should replace the section in question. The problems / questions I hope you can help me with are these: 1) how can I ever hope to see consensus there so long as the biased partisans continue to attempt to bully me into abandoning this article by repeating their false assertion that it's me against everyone else, especially when others more neutral and less biased don't have the stomach for the contentious fray that it's become? 2) is there a resolution process I can appeal to where the quality of the work can be judged on its own merits without having to waste time attempting to reason with those who are not interested in being reasonable, and instead are clearly pursuing an agenda in their attempts to suppress the information I and others have worked on? What can I do within the bounds of Wikipedia's rules and culture? Thanks for your consideration in this matter. All the best, Dave Whittle Davidwhittle (talk) 00:59, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Invitation to events in June and July: bot, script, template, and Gadget makers wanted[edit]I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June. Registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form. This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets (extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs. We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come! I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing. Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events. Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator.

She is apparently a public affairs officer at the Army Geospatial Center who works under two user names, the other one being User:AGC-webmaster, as is apparent from the revision history of User talk:Rebecca.a.armermann. I note that, at one point she tried to protect the article on AGC from further editing (see the revision history of Talk:Army Geospatial Center, until you intervened. I have tried to explain to her that in the body of the article, one links to the Wikipedia article on the Army Corps of Engineers, not to the Corps' website to achieve NPOV. I reverted once, before getting into a fruitless discussion, seen at User talk:Rebecca.a.armermann. Perhaps you can intercede and inform whichever one of us is off base how properly to proceed.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity[edit]Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.
