New assignment - before exam!

Dear Willdude123,

A new adoption assignment has been assigned to you. Please view the assignment on your adoption page and complete it as soon as you can.

TUSC token 893f6d10b5b5cd92b3001e251d245695

I am now proud owner of a TUSC account!

An award for you!

Award of First Success
The questions you've answered on User:Bmusician/Adoption/Willdude123 were fabulous. Keep up the great work, my friend! (On an unrelated note, the school has changed a little, so all adoptees must complete all required assignments before taking the final exam and graduating (probably about six or seven) but I'll make an exception to that rule for you, because you are a great adoptee! You may finish only three assignments before taking the final exam.) Bmusician 00:32, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Another award for you!

The Exemplary Adoptee Barnstar
You've done a great job on User:Bmusician/Adoption/Willdude123 and are ready for the final exam. It should be ready by Wednesday or even tomorrow, I'll tell you when it's ready. Great work! One day you will be the administrator you always wanted to be. Bmusician 12:06, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

STiki: A new version and a thank you!

Greetings willdude123. As the developer of the STiki anti-vandal tool, I would like to thank you for recent and non-trivial use of my software. Whether you just tried out the tool briefly or have been a long-term participant, I appreciate your efforts (as I am sure does the entire Wikipedia community)!

I write to inform you of a new version of the software (link goes to list of new features). This version addresses multiple long-term issues that I am happy to put behind us. Try it out! Provide some feedback!

The STiki project is also always seeking collaborators. In particular, we are seeking non-technical colleagues. Tasks like publicity, talk-page maintenance, advertisement, and barn-star distribution are a burden to technical development. If you are interested, write me at my talk page or STiki's talk page.

As STiki approaches two significant thresholds: (1) 100,000 revert actions and (2) 400 unique users -- I hope to have your support in continuing the efficient fight against unconstructive editing. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 00:10, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

A graduation award for you!

The Adoptee Graduation Barnstar
You passed with 95.5% in your exam, and thus have graduated from my adoption school. Feel proud! I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors, and will always help you whenever you need help, so don't hesitate to contact me whenever you need help! Bmusician 02:34, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Oakley CE Junior School, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Oakley (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

In future, could you please not move articles like John Massé into mainspace unless you're willing to do the clean-up yourself? It had a ton of formatting issues, a box round the entire page, a misspelled title, not to mention the body of the article being loaded with external links. I've fixed the first two problems. In future, if you're going to move an article from AFC, please do stick around to make it presentable afterwards. Thanks. (Add: Oh, and it has an IMDB source...not good). OohBunnies!

STiki username

Hi WD, I noticed you changed your user name over at Wikipedia:STiki/leaderboard. I should inform you that the page updates automatically every night, and as such, your change will be overwritten and replaced with "Willdude123" as this is how you identified yourself when using STiki (and isn't it still your username? you are just using redirection to identify yourself as "W.D."?). Regardless, I don't care about the reasoning and what not, just wanted to pass along this message. If this is something you are having changed permanently, let me/us know over at Wikipedia_talk:STiki. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 00:32, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your work on New Page Patrol. Please note that page patrolling and nominating articles for deletion require considerable experience.
