CBC TV Interview

I heard you were the one CBC Newsworld filmed a segment on, albeit one that didn't air in full due to technical difficulties. How was the interview? -- Zanimum 19:56, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, frankly, a little nerve wracking. But I suppose its related to my own "greenness" with regards to appearing on TV. I think, if I could magically go back in time and redo it, I could be more articulate and thoughtful. Oh well, if it ever comes up again, I'll be prepared :) (It didn't help that I got back from vacation the day before, my mind wiped blissfully blank by copious amounts of lobster) joshbuddy, talk 20:43, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I presume it was your first interview for Wikipedia? Did you catch the small bit of the segment that aired? Do you know if they're sending you a tape? I was thinking of talking to whoever the show producer is, asking if they could donate a copy of the segment to Wikimedia for the Foundation's private records. -- Zanimum 14:15, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, they ended up interviewing you. Nice. :-) I was also asked, but I didn't want to for privacy concerns (Mr. "D.B." has made me a little nervous), though I was willing to do a voice interview if they absolutely couldn't find someone else. As for the meetup, I'd like to come, but I probably won't. I'm on semi-wikibreak right now because my son isn't feeling too well. Thanks for asking! --Deathphoenix ʕ 20:01, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They wanted to interview me too but I'd rather not be "outed" as a Wikipedian like that! I don't think I will make it to Futures either, as I will be at work. Adam Bishop 20:30, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edits outside of namespace

Just a suggestion, but whenever AVB or TB2 revert changes to a category, they leave a heading formatted like this

"==Your edits to [[Category:namehere]]==",

which of course adds that user to

[[Category:namehere]],

rather than warning them off, that should probably be altered so it adds the : in front of 'category'--64.12.116.9 18:22, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's apparently safe to do this with any page, not just categories. ~Kylu (u|t) 07:28, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering...

...if you could write me an anti-vandal bot. I have always wanted to operate a bot, but I am no good a programming. Would you? I know you made a great one for Tawker, and I am sure you have made others. Thanks. Viva La V i e Boheme!

Josh, I'm proposing 'Brendan Loy' for deletion. How do I do this without the article constantly being reverted by the bot?

Kind words

Thanks, it's always nice to receive kind words from somebody. Best wishes, and happy editing. --AaronS 21:43, 16 August 2006 (UTC) [reply]
