Your user page

[edit]

Hi. Can you please remove that unnecessary and uncivil attack on Kelly Martin from your userpage. Cheers, Sam Korn (smoddy) 01:09, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Thanks for the reminder. ~~ N (t/c) 16:43, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Long time, no see

[edit]

Hello there, mate. I was just taking a stroll down memory lane a wee bit ago and realized I hadn't seen you around for a while, and thought I'd catch up and say that I've always appreciated your measured, reasonable, intelligent tone, such as that you used on the Kelly Martin RfC. Thanks for all that. Hope you're well, and maybe I'll see you around again some day. Take care, Blackcap (talk) 08:55, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! Reading this was a big motivator in bringing me back. ~~ N (t/c) 17:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're back! Fantastic! That just made my day. Welcome back, friend. I'll be seeing you, I dearly hope. Blackcap (talk) 17:29, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I LOVE YOU BABY <33.

Erm, archive?

[edit]
Comment Important: This talk page is becoming very long. Please consider archiving.

I think it is 80KB+. — Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 02:50, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uh. Done. ~~ N (t/c) 16:43, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

N-bot errors?

[edit]

Dunno if anyone's brought this to your attention yet, but N-bot seems to be occasionally messing up, judging by Skope's fixes. Looking through the diffs, seems to be N-bot's edits which are responsible for the double brackets within double brackets problem. See [1] [2] [3] --maru (talk) contribs 02:59, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing that out. It's less a problem with the bot itself than with the pages it's working on - this happens when a list links to a redirect to itself in one of the section headers, which obviously is not a smart thing to do. From now on I'll just manually fix that before running the bot. ~~ N (t/c) 16:43, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I LOVE YOU ALE :D♥

N-Bot

[edit]

Out of interest why does N-Bot not have a bot flag? I'm only asking because it seems to be working fine, so I don't check all its edits to the various star wars pages on my watchlist, but it takes up loads of space on my watchlist (obviously a busy bot!). --Tim (talk), (contribs) 21:52, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't considered that. Duly requested. ~~ N (t/c) 22:00, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar

[edit]
The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
I, SheeEttin, award Nickptar and his bot N-Bot the Tireless Contributor Barnstar for making all these fixes that would take too long to do and be too hard to find by hand (and which really annoy me), and for generally making Wikipedia a better place.
Thank you, sir! ~~ N (t/c) 19:17, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting my pictures

[edit]

Why did you delete those images on Space War Online?

I put all the right information on them

WP:WHMT

[edit]

Hello. You may or may not remember this, but some time ago you signed up for a Hangman Tournament hosted here on Wikipedia.

For some reason or another, you were placed on the "potential players" list.

The next tournament is about to start, and I was just wondering if you were still interested in participating. If you are, please go to the page (linked above) and bold your name in the sign-up list. This will confirm your registration, and move you to the next slot on the waiting list. If you are not interested any more, please feel free to remove your name from the list. If you haven't responded within 7 days, I will assume you are not interested, and remove you from the list. However, if you are too busy, go to the page anyway and renew your "busy" notice. This shows that you are still interested in the tournament, but still are to busy to participate at this time.

If you think anyone else may be interested in this tournament, please drop them a note and ask them to sign up. Good luck, and I hope to see you at the tournament! If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka Talk to me! 13:56, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you are an administrator. I would like some feedback on the above article please. Although I have been reading up on policies, I would like to get the opinions of more experienced editors before I proceed. Thank you. Tidaress 03:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cary Academy IP

[edit]

Nick,

Would you have an objection to archiving, rather than deleting, the Cary Academy warnings?

Thanks, TheronJ 17:19, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't see the point of keeping around (besides in the history) months of warningcruft to 700 different people, none of whom are constant editors or serious problems. ~~ N (t/c) 18:07, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I blocked the Cary Academy IP for 1 month, then I noticed the note about you using it. Feel free to change the duration if you want. Or if you would prefer you can ask me to do it. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 21:10, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't actually affect me (I don't know if this is because I'm an admin or a logged-in user), and sadly I'm inclined to agree, seeing as the vast majority of edits are unproductive. In fact, I don't see why we don't just indefinitely block it. ~~ N (t/c) 22:57, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there is the brand spanking new template:schoolblock. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 23:07, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Old discussion revived

[edit]

Hi there. You commented on this old discussion. I've revived the discussion here, and thought you might like to comment. Carcharoth 14:11, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Automated message to bot owners

[edit]

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:

Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.

Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 04:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A request for your consideration regarding CAT:AOTR

[edit]

...My guinea pigs and the "A"s through "K"s having felt this message was OK to go forward with (or at least not complained bitterly to me about it :) ), today it's the turn of the "L"s through "O"s! I'm hoping that more of you chaps/chapettes will point to their own criteria instead of mine :)... it's flattering but a bit scary! :) Also, you may want to check back to the table periodically, someone later than you in the alphabet may have come up with a nifty new idea. ++Lar: t/c 00:04, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bot activity

[edit]

I was going over the list of bots and noticed that N-Bot (talk · contribs) has not edited in a very long time. Is this bot still active and if not, would you object to it being de-flagged? Please post your comments to Wikipedia_talk:Bots/Requests_for_approval#Dead_bots since this is a rather widely-posted message. MBisanz talk 01:06, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
