Blocked IP
edit{{unblock|83.19.130.66 is a valid IP address my firm hires from ISP.}}
- The address is blocked as an openproxy, that suggest that the software your firm is running to act as a proxy server to allow serveral computers to share the internet connction is misconfigured and allows computers from outside your firm to also connect through it to websites. Until that misconfiguration is fixed the IP address must stay blocked. If you talk to the people responsible and they fix the problem so it is no longer acting as an open proxy post the unblock tag again and we can recheck. --pgk(talk) 17:37, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
{{unblock|as far as I know this proxy is not accessible from the outside, please recheck}}

OpenType
editKocio, thank you for your interest in the OpenType article. It is true that one often finds single-sentence paragraphs in English. They are not necessarily bad or wrong. However, please see http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Lead_section#Introductory_text. The instructions are for an opening paragraph which "should establish the context in which the topic is being considered, by supplying the set of circumstances or facts that surround it." This is standard Wikipedia practice. I think the lead paragraph needs to be rewritten with the history moved into the body, but splitting the first sentence from the opening paragraph does not help that. Thanks.

editPlease do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Scrubs (TV series). Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. Also, please make sure to use proper English. DKqwerty (talk) 14:32, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

editThank you for removing double paragraph. I lost everything when I realized I had failed to log in. I knew it was there but couldn't find it.
Suggestion to Merge 4 US related projects with Wikipedia:WikiProject United States
editIt has been suggested that 4 US related project be merged into Wikipedia:WikiProject United States due to a long state of inactivity. I noticed that you had made some edits to at least one of them recently so I thought you might want to voice your opinion about the merger. Please comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States#Close out some Inactive/nonfunctional US related WikiProjects. --Kumioko (talk) 18:46, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
Should the summary part you created for Legacy be separated from the Voice section, since it also has to do with her voice? I'm not even sure Voice should have its own section, considering it is so small and her influence is also about her voice. This is why I originally combined Voice and influence. Also, sometimes the initial summaries are skipped in the table of contents when readers see that there are subsections. Take for example, the Legacy title; a lot of people will assume that there is nothing in that section and that it is only a title, opting to go straight for the subsections. This happened plenty of time on Wikipedia. Flyer22 (talk) 19:15, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for finding those refs so quickly! - Ahunt (talk) 13:40, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
editHello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:00, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

OER inquiry
editHi Kocio, I'm sending you this message because you're one of about 300 users who have recently edited an article in the umbrella category of open educational resources (OER) (or open education). In evaluating several projects we've been working on (e.g. the WIKISOO course and WikiProject Open), my colleague Pete Forsyth and I have wondered who chooses to edit OER-related articles and why. Regardless of whether you've taken the WIKISOO course yourself - and/or never even heard the term OER before - we'd be extremely grateful for your participation in this brief, anonymous survey before 27 April. No personal data is being collected. If you have any ideas or questions, please get in touch. My talk page awaits. Thanks for your support! - Sara FB (talk) 20:43, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Fauchon
editHi. I have noticed that you intervened on the Fauchon page, and would like to ask for your help in watching this page. I would very much like to shorten and lighten the content, which is currently too long and contains numerous details, as other users have already pointed out.
Unfortunately, when I put forward new, shorter versions, they are systematically cancelled. I will improve in a few days the content by editing new versions and without deleting : could you help me by looking at the improvements I am trying to make to the page, when you have a moment?

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Proposed deletion of JOSM
editThe article JOSM has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No assertion of importance of this product.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Toddst1 (talk) 17:09, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
- What do you mean by "No assertion of importance of this product."? I simply can't agree:
- it's one of 2 most important editors for OSM (iD being dedicated for beginners, and this one for any advanced things)
- it has already 9 other language Wikipedia versions linked
- it is linked in Template:OpenStreetMap
- it has its own category on Commons
- so both OSM internal and Wikimedia-related facts are in favour of having it on English Wikipedia. - kocio (talk) 17:27, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Lover, Beloved etc.
editTen seconds of searching found me a page with a link to the redirect: you'd break that, for example.
