Thanks for protecting the Camp 1391 article. I sent a request for oversight out today because I am convinced the link that I have been editing out is inappropriate for this article or any other, frankly. We will see what they say. Maybe they won't have a problem with it. All the best. Tundrabuggy (talk) 15:29, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Camp 1391
I really don't think the discussion is going anywhere. I've suggested a rewrite to tone down what I consider to be clearly POV, but I guess other editors feel it's an "all or nothing" situation. I do understand that political feelings are strong in this area, but I also feel that the article should stick with the facts about what is known about this site verses highly POV soapboxing. I think it's possible to go to any number of political leaning Web sites ("reliable sources") and find a view that fits a particular POV. I don't feel that pushing a political view either way is appropriate for an encyclopedic article. Proxy User (talk) 08:34, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
- Regarding this article, I would like permission to remove the coordinates on the grounds that they do not come from a reliable source. I don't want to be involved in an edit war, but by the same token I don't believe it is appropriate to put up something as fact that we do not have a reliable source for. I have discussed it ad nauseum on the talk page but still have got no RS. Do I have permission to remove it without penalty until and unless a RS is found?

AWB access
Hey ho, I was just wondering if you could re-enable my AWB access. It wasn't really necessary in the first place, as I would have stopped making those edits with AWB if you (or anybody, for that matter) had asked me to, but I guess that's neither here nor there. I'll stick to typo fixing in the future. --Closedmouth (talk) 03:27, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, done. Thanks, Martinp23 10:37, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Inconsequential edits
Lightmouse seems to have quietly re-requested access at the checkpage and it was granted and he is still making edits such as this. Another concern is that he ran for four hours straight at approximately 8 edits per minute, however this may simply indicate he has doesn't mind clicking a mouse for four hours straight. Thoughts? –xeno (talk) 15:58, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
- Urgh, thanks. Martinp23 16:08, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm sure I don't understand what's going on concerning AWB access. But if Lightmouse and Closedmouth should not have AWB access to make inconsequential edits, shouldn't Colonies Chris be denied for the same reason? Tennis expert (talk) 22:32, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Suspension of AWB accounts
I first want to say that I have disareed with the delinking of dates from the beginning, but the fact is, it did meet consensus (whether we agree with it or not) as a change and was posted appropriately to WP:MOS. If anyone wants to vote to change that I would be delighted to join in but until it does get changed then it should be followed and any dates that fall into that policy should be delinked. Furthermore it is my opinion that you have exceeded your authority by revoking AWB access to wikipedians who are attempting to keep articles in accordance with the MOS. I recommend that the access be restored immediately and I ask you to follow proper procedures for revoking access in the future. PS You did not revoke my access (not yet anyway) but I wanted to state my opinion on the matter. Additionally, since AWB cannot be used to add content or do large rewrites of poorly written articles many of the edits performed by AWB are in fact inconsiquential and tedious to do manually which is the whole reason for the application to exist.--Kumioko (talk) 16:07, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
- You seem to assume that I'm against the change, when I haven't actually said as much anywhere. In fact, I've not really thought about it. There does, however, appear to be an absence of consensus to change every article. In any case, I'd stick by the view that wholesale editing of every article using AWB is not sensible, and will continue to remove access as and when I notice. Martinp23 17:47, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
- In lite of your comment let me pose this question, the vote was taken and consensus was reached as to delinking and the changes where made to the MOS. What in your eyes is consensus? Clearly this item met consensus within the WP community or it would not have been added to the MOS nor would it have this many people changing it, nor would a bot been approved to make the changes in according with the MOS. So in lite of all those things isn't it at least possible then that it is you who are in the wrong and not the rest of the WP community that are FOLLOWING the rules. Again, I don't agree with it and would gladly vote against it but the fact is it is policy so until its changed (which it likely will in my opinion) we need to follow it.--Kumioko (talk) 18:34, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
- A bot hasn't been approved, has it? Martinp23 18:27, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
- Yes he uses AWB when running Lighbot, which delinks dates as well as numerous other changes.--Kumioko (talk) 21:01, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
- Lightbot hasn't run since Oct 6 and no longer has that mandate if I understand correctly. –xeno (talk) 21:13, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
- that's my understanding Martinp23 22:39, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
- I hardly see how thats relevant since you keep suspending his access. Its hard for the bot to do its job when the application can't access WP don't ya think. Again, if you have a problem with users trying to enforce the rules in the MOS then do something to change it. Also, if delinking dates is considered a petty edit then someone should add it to the list of petty edits on the AWB page. This hardly seems like appropriate behavior for someone on the mediation committee!--Kumioko (talk) 00:40, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- Eh, the bot isn't even approved according to my understanding. In any case, the bot account would still be able to use AWB because i never removed it from the list (if indeed it ever was on it). You could do a bit of research? Martinp23 21:21, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- Lightbot hasn't run since Oct 6 and no longer has that mandate if I understand correctly. –xeno (talk) 21:13, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
- Yes he uses AWB when running Lighbot, which delinks dates as well as numerous other changes.--Kumioko (talk) 21:01, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Wikimedia UK v2.0
Hello! Thanks for showing an interest in Wikimedia UK v2.0. Formation of the company is currently underway under the official name "Wiki UK Limited", and we are hoping to start accepting membership in the near future. We have been drawing up a set of membership guidelines, determining what membership levels we'll have (we plan on starting off with just standard Membership, formerly known as Guarantor Membership, with supporting membership / friends scheme coming later), who can apply for membership (everyone), what information we'll collect on the application form, why applications may be rejected, and data retention. Your input on all of this would be appreciated. We're especially after the community's thoughts on what the membership fee should be. Please leave a message on the talk page with your thoughts.
Also, we're currently setting up a monthly newsletter to keep everyone informed about the to-be-Chapter's progress. If you would like to receive this newsletter, please put your username down on this page.
Thanks again. Mike Peel (talk) 19:54, 8 November 2008 (UTC) (Membership Secretary, Wikimedia UK [Proposed])

Wiki UK Ltd Membership applications now invited!
Hello,
It gives me great pleasure to announce that Wiki UK Limited is now inviting membership applications! You can download the application form in PDF format from meta:Image:Wiki_UK_Ltd_membership_application_form.pdf
Information is given on the form about membership fees (£12/year standard, £6 for concessions); these need to be paid by cheque initially, although we hope to accept other forms of payment in the future. Applications should be submitted to me at the address given on the form. If you have any queries about the application process, please let me know.
We will formally start accepting members once we have a bank account, as we cannot process membership fees until that time. We will be submitting our application for a bank account in the very near future, and we hope to have this set up by the end of December at the latest.
Thank you for your support so far; I look forward to receiving your membership application.

No content in Category:Unassessed-importance Beekeeping articles
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Unassessed-importance Beekeeping articles, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Unassessed-importance Beekeeping articles has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Unassessed-importance Beekeeping articles, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 11:50, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
NPW
Hey Martinp, just started using NPW and I'm finding it really great. I just recently tagged a page for deletion (Oldest man in the world), and it came up with a MessageBox saying something like "Something sinister has happened, the page has been marked for deletion but the user could not be warned" it also asked me to report it to you. I presume it's just because somebody else using Twinkle tagged it at the same time, and we had an edit conflict on the user talk page, but thought I'd tell you anyway - Kingpin13 (talk) 22:08, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

NPW A7 warning for original creator
Hi Martinp23
I don't know the various configuration options for NPW, but it seems as though when a user tags a pages for speedy deletion (A7 at least), NPW doesn't automatically notify the original creator of the article of the deletion tag. This is antisocial behavior . . . perhaps you want to change the tool to discourage that.
Regards

Should I be concerned if I got a message regarding an edit I didn't do?
Hello,
I received a message saying that an edit I did to the Pojo.com page had been caught and removed as potential vandalism. I don't think I've ever been to that page (so I suppose it was vandalism); now the page has been deleted, so I don't even know what it was.
But my concern is: has the security of my account been violated? Is there anything I need to do to protect my account and/or computer from this or further use by some other user who is apparently vandalizing pages?
Thanks for your help in catching the vandalism on Wikipedia.
Sincerely,
Julie —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.122.96.225 (talk) 23:21, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

there were never any edits on Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira from this IP address
hello Martin23
I never made any edits on Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira from this IP address. I received a message that I made edits to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and that it was changed back.
I think there were errors on the computer that may have made it think it was this IP address that made the edits. There is only one person using this computer from this IP address and there never any edits from IP address.
If there is any indication that there were edits to articles made from this IP address, it is an error. Whenever there is any editing from this computer, it is always used by usernames and never by this IP address. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.89.223.150 (talk) 03:48, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

NPWatcher issues
Hello, Martinp23. I am having problems staying logged in when I use NPW (I log in using the secure server). How do I fix that? --Whip it! Now whip it good! 00:08, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
- When I try to use it, I get a "The action you have requested is limited to administrators and auto-confirmed users" message and then the program freezes. Happens every time. --Whip it! Now whip it good! 00:19, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
- By not using the secure server, I suspect. There's no support for it coded in and I imagine it just confuses things :) Martinp23 18:03, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
"Something sinister has happened"
I tried to tag Tim iredale for deletion, and I get a message saying the page was unable to leave a user warning. I left an additional message about my problems with the program here. --Whip it! Now whip it good! 20:53, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
