Newsletter spammage

Hey Misza, I hope all is well. When you get a chance, could you have MiszaBot spam out the Esperanza newsletter? It's been updated to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter, and the title of the post can be "November Esperanza Newsletter". And for those listed at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List, they just need a link to it (The November Esperanza Newsletter has been updated! Read all about it at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter), or something along those lines. Many thanks, it's much appreciated that you can do this. -- Nataly a 19:38, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Not without trouble (see global notice - someone changed the header titles on WP:ESP/M), but no serious blunders this time it seems. :) Cheers, M isza 13 21:22, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's odd, thanks for pointing out he change. And thanks for getting it done so quickly! I wish there was a better way to thank you than by just saying "thanks", but I hope you catch the drift. :) -- Nataly a 03:29, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

MiszaBot

Hi, I just noticed that your bot automatically sending wikipedian(who involved with Esperanza) the Esperanza Messages. Is your bot only sending messages for Esperanza News Letter? I'm very curious about that. But, Please respond in my talk pages. Best Regard. Daniel5127 (Talk) 20:44, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Esperanza newsletter

Hi Misza. I was just wondering why whenever the Esperanza Newsletter is sent out, why don't you just send it out in template format instead of sending people out the confusing codes on thier talk page. And instead erasing the past newsletter from Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter, why not archive it on a sub-page for later viewing if nessecary? semper fi — Moe 01:37, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the Newsletter issues have been extensively discussed on WT:ESP in the past and this form was adopted. You're however welcome to propose new ideas there (rather than here - I merely execute the Council's will). M isza 13 18:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indiana University Kokomo

Hi. Clicking on the subject line above will show you what the problem is. It looks like you moved this article to revert some stupid vandalism the other day, but in the process you accidentally removed all the content. Hopefully it can be undeleted and restored. --Russ (talk) 20:53, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, such strange things seem to happen when reverting moves and being an administrator - the interface automatically proposes the target's deletion and error may result in deletion of the wrong page. I see that someone fixed that however. M isza 13 18:33, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

you are user:Betacommand stock?

plese stop block bot...--Waxwax 07:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I don't understand you. Betacommand (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) is an entirely different user - perhaps you should discuss it with him? M isza 13 18:34, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bad Misza!

This is your last warning.
The next time you vandalize a page, as you did to MediaWiki:Blockedtext, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. – Gurch 21:35, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for the revert to my userpage :) Take care! riana_dzasta 14:29, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :)

Thanks for the birthday greeting. Did you notice the cloak christel gave me? :D —Xyrael / 09:11, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you're right about the watchlist. Excuse me if I miss yours; I don't have time to *check* my list. —Xyrael / 14:10, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thank you for reverting the vandalism to my user page. It is much appreciated. Keep up the great work! Chris Kreider 20:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ummmmm, just need to confirm something....

I didn't know I was in Esperanza, still don't know that I am. But for some reason I received the Esperanza newsletter for November. If I am in Esperanza, I'd just like to be sure. Thanks! (hope it wasn't out of place to ask) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Elfred (talk • contribs) 23:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Yes, my bad. It seems that my bot for some reason didn't recognize and ommit the "Users who don't meet the requirements yet" secion of WP:ESP/M. Sorry. M isza 13 16:37, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ahem

In the future, if you are going to delete something, could you at least have the courtesy to leave a note on the person's talk page if they are an editor in good standing? You deleted {{Template:Sarcasm}}, which is your prerogative, but unfortunately I created it for a reason after being accused of bad faith. I do not plan to create on my userpages (I see that as trying to get around a delete) but I fail to see why you claim it is divisive or was created to make a point, and I fail to see why you could not have informed me of your action. --Elaragirl ||||||^Talk|Count 01:23, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. Will do. M isza 13 18:31, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Vandalism Box

How did you do that? Are you a programmer or something? B e arly 541 05:49, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I am a "programmer or something". :) But it was actually Gurch's idea to put that on a userpage - the whole "trick" is {{Special:Recentchanges/1}} (you may substitute "1" for another number to display more items) and the colorful boxes are just some formatting stuff. You can see the full code at User:Misza13/Global Header. M isza 13 09:43, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. I always wanted to program a bot. Named Bearly541's bot, "or something." :-) Is it mainly C++? B e arly 541 10:47, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a bot. You just put the code on you userpage/wherever and it shows just like that. It's just some WikiSyntax. M isza 13 12:07, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:PleaseBlockMeNow

Err - he spammed everyone asking to be blocked. That username has no non-vandalistic contributions. Why have you unblocked? Secretlondon 19:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For the very same reason he has requested the unblock. To request changing his username. If he follows the path of disruption, any admin has the full authority to reblock and deny any further requests. M isza 13 19:09, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But he can just make a new username - going through the change username procedure for an account with 10 edits, all vandalism, is a waste of a a bureaucrats time. As a bureaucrat I wouldn't touch it, sorry. Secretlondon 19:13, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at Wikipedia:Bureaucrats one of our criteria is "has no history of abuse". We don't rename vandals. Secretlondon 19:17, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, but what is the purpose of the {{unblock-un}} template at all, then? M isza 13 19:17, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know - maybe to avoid biting newbies who have no edits but have banned for having a name with WoW in? Secretlondon 19:24, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please take a look?

Can you please take a look at Special:Contributions/GiorgioOrsini and this article's history.

Also he keeps removing warning's and pleads made to him on his talk page. Thank you in advance. --Factanista 22:38, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: List of Croatians

Thanks for your kind note. If you thinks so - there will be no solution. I provided the facts confirming that a number of names of prominent Italians is 'translated' into Croatian and listed there. That way the integrity and credibility of Wikipedia is gravely undermined. I'll stop what you called 'edit war' and advise you to get valid information about people listed there. Moreover, the French actress Brigitte Bardot is listed as a Croatian. It is laughable to read that article. This time you are actually helping these 'editors' whose 'expertise' is to 'naturalize' foreign names.--GiorgioOrsini 02:13, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocks

Oh, I've had much better denials than that! Still, I genuinely appreciate your 'star for it! Thanks, mate! :o) ➨ ЯEDVERS 21:38, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anon vandal on Rod Blagojevich and Barack Obama

Hey I'm no fan of politics in Illinois, but I don't go around spreading lies and blanking articles - thanks for the timely block - we'd revert one and they'd go back and start vandalizing the other all over again. Much appreciated! --JohnDBuell 22:07, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attacks

With regards to your comments on User talk:Gurch: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. – Gurch 18:46, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

strange comments...

Hey there,

I noticed you protected User talk:M4URIZ. Before doing so the banned user has entered several comments on me. I have never had any issue with the user, if he is right on not being a suckpuppet. Could I kindly ask you to remove these comments - or maybe delete the entire page of the banned user. Bertilvidet 09:22, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see the comments as offensive in any way, but I figure you find them uneasy... So, I have practically blanked the page and added it to CAT:TEMP, which means the record will be deleted after a reasonable amount of time. M isza 13 10:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. No, the comments were not offensive as such. But I find it disturbing that a user bothers to find out personal information about me and post it on their talk page - especially when it seems to be a suckpuppet of a user who has a long history of engaging in rude and obscene personal attacks. Bertilvidet 11:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For you :)

		Glen's Anti-Vandalism Barnstar!

And, smile!! You are a legend, please keep up the great work! Glen 21:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:GiorgoOrsini again

Despite your warning he keeps vandalizing the article List of Croatians. He also now started reverting and removing content from article Giovanni Lupis, Benedetto Cotrugli and has also removed the tag from Travunia which makes me suspect that he now follows me around. --Factanista 10:40, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of School Spectacular Orchestra

Hi, that article was meant to be a link from another page, I understand that it probably shouldn't be an article, but is there anyway to create sub-pages in an article? for instance, i want to list the members of the orchestra but dont think it should be on the front page of the article as it would cause too much clutter. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 218.215.7.43 (talk • contribs) 04:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC).[reply]
