Vandalism charges

Regarding your comments on my User IP page:

You skipped to a warning 4, not 3, because you weren't happy with the change in question. Read the discussion, read WINAD policy, look at other edits made by administrators (User :Stephen), and then think carefully about your claims of "vandalism". As I understand it, multiple consecutive reverts is also against policy. You look like you want to try to be a serious contributor to Wiki, and I respect that, so I have no intention of taking similar action against you. However, vandalism comes in many forms, and you need to take care that you are not guilty yourself.

As a newbie to this project, I would have thought I could look to more experienced community members (regardless of age) for guidance. Instead, you attack me as aggressively as you have when I have not in fact violated any rules. If you want to engage me in discussion about this, I would be more than willing. If you would rather use your understanding of the community to further threaten and harass me, you will probably be successful at chasing away a potential contributor.

Is it time?

{{helpme}}

Is it time i archived User talk:ACBest/Main? And if so, how do i archive? Thanks! ACBestMy Contributions 09:31, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, make an archive by cutting your old message and pasting them to User talk:ACBest/Main/Archive1. See WP:ARCHIVE for more information. Real96 09:59, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

How?

Hi! I Just joined the French Misplaced Pages, and was wondering what a 'In other laguages' bar hasnt apeared below toolbox.

Thanks, Damon! ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 15:45, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I've added it on for you! Andy 15:46, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

1. Where i cant see it? ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 15:48, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I just realised I added to the wrong page, it's been a long day... Andy 15:49, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

haha! ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 15:50, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

That should be it now, when you create the talk page for it then you can link that also using ]! Time for some coffee I think! P.S Many thanks for the barnstar! Andy 15:54, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

What have i done now?

{{helpme}} Why does, in toolbox, upload file display as 'Upload file (no wizard)'? Thanks! ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 19:07, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

It's ok it's changed for everyone! I haven't got any details on the change yet, but I shall try to find out! Andy 19:09, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Its in preparation for Misplaced Pages:Upload, an upload wizard to help editors decide what tags to use, which is not currently live. --Iamunknown 19:15, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Phew! Thanks everyone! ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 19:16, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually, Project:Upload is live. The "(no wizard)" link is there in part for the benefits of editors who don't wish to use the wizard. Uncle G 20:04, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

GAC backlog elimination drive

This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Misplaced Pages:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. --Nehrams2020 00:33, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Can i create?

Can i create a bot that is manually-assisted? ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 08:08, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I am unsure of what you are asking, perhaps elaborate at the Help desk. Anyone can run a manually asssited bot, under their own Misplaced Pages account, they don't need to ask permission, as long as there are not too many edits made. An example would be Misplaced Pages:AutoWikiBrowser. If you are going to make fast edits, or a lot of edit, or controversial edits it would be a good idea to set up a bot account (even if the edits are manually assisted) and get permission following Misplaced Pages:Bot policy.--Commander Keane 08:17, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I mean like, create an account (User:ACBot) and with my assistance it would do little tasks round some pages, not too many edits involved. Also, i would be using the AWB, im just installing .NET 2.0 now! ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 08:30, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Well Misplaced Pages:Bot policy will explain what to do, if it is not clear then ask on the talk page there.--Commander Keane 08:32, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

So am i allowed or not? I'm confused! i was looking, and am i allowed to create User:ACBot just to do little edits using AWB, pending approval to use AWB that is... ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 08:57, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

No you can't run it, you need to follow the procedure from the page I have link you to. Basically:

1. Creating a talk page for the bot, describing its functions
2. Listing it on Requests for approvals
3. Getting the go-ahead from someone in the approvals group

--Commander Keane 08:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

oh! thanks, sorry if i annoyed you - :D ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 09:01, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
