Database compression

Can't currently undo that compression but compression of en hasn't progressed very far yet and I will try to dodge compressing those types of pages if that's readily practicable - as you say, they typically are small and have few revisions. Jamesday 18:43, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

To get one of those pages deleted:

  1. receive an actual copyright infringement notice or complaint from a copyright holder or other legal notice from an appropriate party which indicates that blanking and protecting for a few months is not sufficient.
  2. point a developer to that notice so a developer can act appropriately.

A followup on this: I've modified the database compression code to support excluding certain namespaces and am currently running the concatenated compression to exclude templates, categories and their respective talk pages. All pages prior to Bv in this run plus all from the previous run aren't affected by this change and may have revisions compressed with concatenation but there shouldn't be more (barring a human not adding the restricton clause to the job).

Hi,

creating a transparent logo from a non-transparent one is a lot harder than just using the existing transparent one as a template. I would ask you to keep in place the Simple Logo I created, in order to maintain the distinction between the projects, until a better replacement can be found.-Eloquence* 19:21, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

New footnote proposal Wikipedia:Footnote3

Hi; I've seen that you are created the {{fn}} and {{fnb}} templates. I've made a new proposal which is designed to allow automatic numbering. I wonder if you could comment or have any suggestions? If this turns out to be the "one" footnote system for the future, I'd also like to discuss about converting existing pages and eventually changing over the existing templates to use the same system.

Hey :-)

We got off on a rocky start, but I've come to value your contributions around here. It unfortunate that you're so misunderstood! I hope that people don't start treating you like a troll. Cause I'm concerned about that, I've put a very brief message on Jimbo's page asking that he make sure you get treated fairly. Hope you don't mind. Good luck with everything Neto. I'll miss ya. - Ta bu shi da yu 07:58, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Arbitration request: Snowspinner

I am filing a request for arbitration against Snowspinner to which you may wish to contribute. -- Grunt 🇪🇺 04:24, 2005 Mar 22 (UTC)

Sockpuppet?

You will please provide evidence that I am anyone's sockpuppet, or you will please retract the odious accusation. Evidence means facts, not supposition. KingOfAllPaperboys 23:39, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Three revert rule

You have been blocked for 2 hours under the three revert rule. If you wish to appeal please contact another administrator or the mailing list.Geni 00:20, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • It is hereby noted that Netoholic's 4th revert (the one that got her or him blocked) stands; this means that 2 hours is a payment, not a penalty. Netoholic has traded a two-hour-block for the privelige of preventing reverts to her or his page. KingOfAllPaperboys 00:46, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

"RFDA" Snowspinner

Hi.

Regardless of the merits of your "RFDA" proposal (which IMO are few), it is most highly inappropriate for you to list Snowspinner there unless and until the mechanism you suggest is adoped as policy.

Snowspinner has previously left the project for a considerable time, due in large measure to your harassment.

I don't know and don't care about the specifics of your claims about Snowspinner's failings. If your claims have merit, take them up with the AC. Otherwise, learn to get along and quit trying to solve a personal problem by changing the rules. The project is too big and too mature for those sorts of shenanigans.

I am appalled enough by this to make an unscheduled return from an extended wikivacation to deal with this.

Bluntly yours,

The Uninvited Co., Inc. 02:02, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
