ALMOST FAMOUS

TALK

Could someone please explain to me what those symbals mean, that appear on my watchlist: N User: whatever or M: usertalk: whatever so on and so forth? Almost Famous 20:35, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

ERROR MESSAGE

I received this error message when trying to view my watchlist, can anyone tell me what it means?

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden) from within function "wfSpecialWatchlist". MySQL returned error "1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '<<<<< .mine AND rc_this_oldid=page_latest ======= AND rc_ (10.0.0.2)".

That's the message I'm trying to decode Almost Famous 18:00, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

This indicates a bug in MediaWiki. Please file a bug report using the Wikimedia Bug Tracker at bugs.wikimedia.org. Thanks. Kelly Martin (talk) 18:07, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: I Have A Friendly Question

Why is your page a target for vandals? Are you heavily into the AFD discussions? Just curious, and could you respond on my talk page? Almost Famous 08:48, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I wish I knew, perhaps it's because I RC patrol among other things, it was pretty bad for a while there. --Pilot|guy 13:38, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Article Copies on User Pages

In an effort to study Misplaced Pages, its users, and the general operations of the site I've been monitoring the administrator's notice board and someone has commented on a user who has copied one of the articles and pasted it into their User Page? Why would this be against policy? RE: to talk page if possible. Thank you, Almost Famous 05:21, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

If you can point me towards the specific issue I might be able to better answer your question. I don't know any policy that might prohibit such a thing, but I don't see the point in doing it (one may wish to provide a link to the article, however). --Pilot|guy 19:53, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
