Happy Easter to all of you, and I hope that this version may fix your current problems and perhaps provide you with a few useful new tools. You can download version 1.1 at User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof. Let me warn you, however, to please be extremely careful when using the new Rollback All Contributions feature, as, aside from the excessive server lag it would cause if everyone began using it at once, it could seriously aggitate several editors to have their contributions reverted. If you would like to experiment with it, though, I'd be more than happy to use my many sockpuppets to create some "vandalism" for you to revert. If you have any problems downloading, installing, or otherwise, please tell me about them at User:AmiDaniel/VP/Bugs and I will do my best to help you. Thanks.

Hi there. Just to say, in case you've not spotted it, that you may have a couple of replies to postings you've made on the discussion page of plankton. It looks like people have mistaken that talk page for this one. Cheers, --Plumbago08:33, 20 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

You left a message on Martin's talk page saying that Avillia has made a version of AWB that does not require authentication. I understand you mean by this - he/she has tweaked the code so that users do not have to be approved. However, what is your proof for this? I do not see anything indicating this on your talk page, Martin's talk page, Avilla's talk page, or the AWB's talk page. I also do not see any AWB-like edits in Avillia's recent contributions. I am not assuming bad faith, I am simply asking for evidence so I can understand the problem more thoroughly and, hopefully, prevent it. Thank you for pointing this out! --M@thwiz202016:12, 22 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
Uh-oh. The real AWB is copyrighted by Martin, so I submitted an abuse report on the website that hosts the hacked version. --M@thwiz2020 16:21, 22 April 2006
As I said to another person who removed a previous reference to her, the contribution should be viewed in the context of the preceding paragraph about Betty. Please tell me why "whose performances show real enjoyment and enthusiasm." is unacceptable whereas "is popular amongst her audience for her very rough and straight-forward approaches)." is?
Btw I suggest you move your reply to me from the User:195.188.152.12 user page to the discussion page.
I have to say I think your deletions are very heavy handed. The comments about the actresses performances are an attempt to say why they are popular, not to present a biased viewpoint. They are popular. Why? Because their performances are thus.
I should have also said that the sentence about Betty has been in there since the inception of the page.
If I may tell you my method of dealing with such matters; try to think of happy thoughts. I know it sounds stupid, but don't be stressed because you disagree with somebody else; that isn't a cause for stress, hardly. _-MoP-_00:30, 23 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have been unable to contribute much time to wikipedia lately. I doubt I’ve had more than 10 edits(if that many) since last year. However, things are starting to go better. When I’m able to dedicate more time again I will try to revitalize it. The other major contributors appear to be distracted elsewhere as well. Your welcome to try to get it going again.

I you place a break ({{-}}) after "please don't change the space between these it is the only way it appears correctly in IE -->", then it will format correctly in other browsers as well.

The Barnstar of Diligence
This is a special shared barnstar between ILovePlankton, JoanneB, Mopper & Where. This barnstar is awarded for helping me out over the past few days with wording things more politely and civilly when I'm prone to just typing what I'm thinking (which isn't always the best thing - that internal censor thing needs new batteries). Thank you for putting up with my crap now and in the future. :P The four of you are really exceptional Esperanzians (and Wikipedians). — nathanrdotcom(Got something to say?

The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service.
This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome!
Note from the editor
As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!
Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel.
A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect.
Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct.
Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop.

I redirected CAD to CAD (disambiguation), but it was immediately reverted by you using VandalProof.

Previously, various notices regarding Community Justice have gone out to our members; though this is the first actual newsletter. This issue will contain information regarding decisions made on the first meeting, our new council, and more...!
In the last meeting, the conduct of 4 members were discussed. Ethnopunk will be put on probation, supervised by Ian13, if he/she is uncivil during this probation, he/she will be expelled from WP:CJ; the same was decided for Misza13 (voluntarily), and his probation will be supervised by Computerjoe. No action will be taken against Computerjoe.
Barnstar
The Civility Barnstar which our member's have designed has been sent to Barnstar and award proposals. We'd appreciate your feedback!
Also, we are planning to make a Community Justice barnstar to give to hard-working CJ members. If you're a budding designer, consider trying to make it, then post your proposal to WT:CJ!
Name and logo change
There has been no consensus reached regarding changing our name and/or logo neither at WT:CJ nor at WT:CJ/M/1. While suggestions are still welcome, no action will be taken at this time.
Programs
We are going to try to create programs to more actively involve our members. If you have any ideas, please drop a line at WT:CJ. We will try to work with WP:ESP on one of these programs, at some point in the future.
Thanks!
Thank you for your time. If you need anything, feel free to comment at WT:CJ or come into our IRC channel [1].
Computerjoe wishes to extend his thanks to User:Robchurch, a non-member who assisted in making {{tracker}} redundant, as well as Misza13 for his continued support and to the whole of this and the previos council.
Newsletters should be proofread. There's at least one typo in this, the green colour 'bleeds' out from the newsletter onto the rest of the page, etc. :) — nathanrdotcom(Got something to say? Say it.)21:14, 14 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I noticed the above page the other day and only now got around to looking at it. It seems pretty innocuous except for one line:
I will be loyal to them no matter what they are going through even if it means being banned for doing so
This could be read as a pact with your friends to go to the extent of putting your personal affiliations before Wikipedia in your work on the wiki. I'm sure this isn't what you intended, so could you try rewording it, please? --Tony Sidaway17:11, 16 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.
Important: This talk page is becoming very long. Please consider archiving.

After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wiki.x.io with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:32, 21 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Maybe most people think you're a girl because your writing style tends to fall in that category. Guys tend to write in passive voice much more and use a lot less personal pronouns in communication. It's not a big deal, it's just someone's subconcious trying to piece together a person's identity based on patterns in sentence structure. You are also much more involved with your friends than most guys would ever be, many men have a problem with platonic intimacy.

I noticed that your RfA seems a bit stressing. While some of the people there really should have elaborated on what they meant, and some may have come off as harsh, I am sure that they had good faith. I am not saying that you think otherwise, but just a freindly reminder. RfAs are usually the most stressful things on Wikipedia (aside from RfBs...heaven forbid), once you become an admin there is nothing (usually) that will ever be that stressful.

I'm using IE now, and it looks like a bunch of boxes instead of question marks.

I will consider changing to support if you can address that concern, and depending on your answers to the other questions at the bottom. — Jun. 4, '06[04:49] <freak|talk>
The use of your automatic edit tool has too many false positives. I do not see why I should fight to stop your machine from removing my common sense edits. For example, Not-for-profit redirects to Non-profit_organization, which is good. Not_for_profit, the same but with just underscores rather than hyphens, should also redirect there, rather than the short nonsense page that is currently on Not_for_profit. However when I try to change it, your stupid bot stops me. Do not use your bot wen you are asleep, that is so rude to non-American users. [User:82.36.234.10]

Congrats on doing as well as you did on your RFA. I am certain you will be able to make it one day. Vandalproof is an interesting approach, I must say. :) LINUXERIST@ 03:34, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
So will I (vote, that is). I'm really sorry about it. Some people come across as very narrow minded *mutters away under breath*.Stupid opposing users...SergeantSnopake09:58, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hey man! You're welcome. You deserve it imo ;) Cya! Whopper
On the bright side, most of the oppose votes were for a couple of fixable reasons. So you might succeed in a couple of months! Where(talk)13:03, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Also, few if any of the oppose votes commented on you as a person. Almost all of the support votes did. Therefore: people like you :)
Sorry about your RfA, and next time I'll vote support again. I'm sure that one day (one day soon) you'll make a great admin! The Halo (talk) 14:05, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I just noticed this edit, where you seem to be asking me a question. I'd say that, yes, everyone should really try to be civil. I think people shouldn't post threaded arguments in RfC outside views. I think users shouldn't have messy signatures. But the only thing I was really trying to communicate was that I didn't think that Ral315 was being at all incivil. The reason that we get wound up about WP:CIVIL is because creating a hostile agressive environment gets in the way of collaboratively editing together. It shouldn't ever be used as a shield against all criticism of actual edits. We are trying to build an encyclopedia, and we do need to be able to say "That edit is just not good". Correspondingly, Ral315 really should be able to say "That signature is messy" -- that isn't hostility. It isn't incivil of someone to tell him he's wrong about it, but it is a little weird to slap his wrist for potentially making someone feel bad. Jkelly23:35, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
