The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs.

== Ireland flag ==

Hi Alison. Thanks for doing the vectorised version of the Irish flag. Interesting! The colours have shifted slightly in this version, particularly the green. Do you know if converting to SVG affects how the pantone colours appear? I'm now wondering whether the SVG format actually gives a better representation of the true colours. It appears that it might, if SVG does reflect the pantone palette acurately. I'll have to look for an Irish flag for real, but there aren't that many about in England. Here's where I derived the orginal from . There's a discussion here about the two colour versions. Thanks again. ] 22:46, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Apparently you have removed links that I contributed to the 'Link Extension' and 'Plastic Surgery' entries. However you have not explained the specific reason for this. Both links are very specific to the topic and provide free access to information without advertising.

Each link has been added once again, in its original form. If you attempt a block (as you have threatened to do) without providing a specific reason for the removal, I will challenge your action to the extent suggested by the Misplaced Pages guidelines.

If you are not the person responsible for the removals, please ignore this message.

Anyway, just for context, I was just short of 13 years old when that happened. Age-wise, I could see my parents maybe having some sort of filter on my computer, I'm pretty sure it was not some sort of computer virus. I never specifically asked them about it, my mom could get kind of reactive about things so I didn't want her assuming I was doing something inappropriate. The only thing I can think of on why it never recurred again is that they took internet away from that computer (for reasons that stretch outside of this conversation, nothing terrible though, mainly staying up too late and being lethargic at school) and they maybe never thought to do that again.

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz 06:40, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Weird Censoring Issue from 2011

Anyway, just for context, I was just short of 13 years old when that happened. Age-wise, I could see my parents maybe having some sort of filter on my computer, I'm pretty sure it was not some sort of computer virus. I never specifically asked them about it, my mom could get kind of reactive about things so I didn't want her assuming I was doing something inappropriate. The only thing I can think of on why it never recurred again is that they took internet away from that computer (for reasons that stretch outside of this conversation, nothing terrible though, mainly staying up too late and being lethargic at school) and they maybe never thought to do that again.
