User:In case you're wondering can be added to the list. Feel free to archive this afterwards.PelleSmith (talk) 13:26, 25 October 2008 (UTC) ‎

 Confirmed and blocked. Thanks :-) (I archive my talk page in big lumps -- it maintains a sensible history.) Sam Korn 13:40, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

I have showed that Imnotacoolguy is a sock

I showed it here: User talk:98.21.185.149 and other editors added more info here: Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/Imnotacoolguy. Schuym1 (talk) 23:48, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Dar book for Indef Block

Hi Sam Korn,

This is, once again, about the subject of this checkuser.

I don't think this even merits another checkuser because the situation is quite plain. Dar book has been using 222.127.223.70 as a sock, and the latter's talk page is replete with warnings of all types (all seemingly unheeded). It seems that he forgot to log in and accidentally used it instead of his Dar book account to edit the Eli Soriano article.

This is the line that gave him away:

why would a person buy a website just to lie?. (edit summary)

why would a person buy a website just to lie?. (please scroll down to red letters)

Another slip, a Marikina Science High School edit also gave him away. Dar book is the creator of that article.

This user is becoming a big nuisance.

Many thanks,

 Confirmed that this logged-out editing is him. I wouldn't be too certain that all the messages on the page are intended for him, though, as there are a lot of users on the address. Sam Korn 16:31, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Quack! Quack!

You might be interested in this thread canvassed on some noticeboards :) I've directed him to OTRS just in case, but he's kinda quacking loudly. -- lucasbfr 14:24, 4 November 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) 19:56, 8 November 2008 (UTC) (Membership Secretary, Wikimedia UK )

Recorded debates and discussions

Candidates and the community,

Wikivoices (formally NotTheWikipediaWeekly) would be interested in making several podcasts with candidates running in the 2008 English Misplaced Pages Arbitration Committee election. Given the high number of candidates likely to be signing up during the nomination stage (likely to be around 45) it will be a very busy 2 weeks. These shows typically last about one and a half hours to record, taking into account setup time, and are recorded using the free, downloadable programme, Skype. The programme can be used on Windows, Mac OS and Linux operating systems and is also available on some mobile platforms. If any candidates have problems with installing or running the program please contact either myself at my talk page or by email

There will be 2 formats being run over the next 2 weeks. The first will be general discussion with a small number candidates at a time with several experienced hosts from Wikivoices. Each candidate will be given 2-3 minutes to introduce themselves then the main body of the cast will begin. The topics discussed will vary in each recording to ensure fairness however the atmosphere will be generally free flowing. These will be running throughout the two weeks starting tomorrow. Specific signup times can be found here at our meta page.

The second format will be based on a similar style to election debates. Questions will be suggested here by the community. A selection of these will then be put to a panel of larger panel candidates with short and concise 1-2 minute responses. Other than an introduction and hello from each candidate, there will be no opportunity for a lengthier introductions. Specific signup times can be found here at our meta page.

It is recommended that candidates attend both formats of casts and we will try to be as flexible as possible. We are looking for the greatest participation but also for shows with enough members to keep it interesting but not too many that it causes bandwidth and general running issues. I look forward to working with all candidates in the coming weeks.

Question #4

(xposting in case you aren't watching my page)

Hi. With respect to your questions, do you think you could clarify what question 4 means? Are you discussing the role of Jimmy in deciding the results? That seems to me the only way to read it, but it's quite possible I'm reading you incorrectly. Thanks, Sam Korn 00:50, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi, correct--the notion of "no Jimmy" in the elections, so that it's handled entirely as other WMF wikis do it. That is, it could be a straight vote--5 open slots, the top 5 get in--with us deciding what the is. Percentage? Raw support? Inbetween? Etc., but where the process of selection/approval of who is trusted to be an Arb laying entirely with "us". rootology (C)(T) 01:40, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom Candidate Template

Hello, fellow candidate! Just so you know, in an effort to announce our candidacies and raise further awareness of the election, I have created the template {{ACE2008Candidate}}, which I would invite you to place on your user and user talk pages. The template is designed to direct users to your Questions and Discussion pages, as well as to further information about the election. Best of luck in the election!

Sambot

Would it be possible to use Sambot to update articles like List of Australian ODI cricketers? One of the problems with some of WP:CRIC's FLs is that the statistics are out of date. Nev1 (talk) 14:39, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

It's actually already on my to-do list :-) I'll have a look probably in about a month's time to see if I can do it. Sam Korn 14:58, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Bsrboy

Hi Sam. Looks like he's back again as Samuel Anthony Davidson. Could you confirm as you did with Vittel Salt? TVMIA.  —SMALLJIM  11:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
