I think they're came from User:MariaJaydHicky. 183.171.174.89 (talk) 02:29, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

• The address space of 93.186.16.0 - 93.186.23.255 is not an open proxy, it is allocated to Research in Motion, UK and is is presented for Blackberry mobile device users in that area. It is technical a proxy, but it is not an open proxy itself. Blocking that range would only be done if there was significant disruption to the project. — xaosflux 14:59, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you!

Hi, thanks for reviewing and approving my request for rollback, also thanks for reviewer status as well (an unexpected but pleasant addition.) Very much appreciated! Now I can swat those nasty vandals faster. :) -BloodDoll (talk) 01:36, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

TPG Telecom

Hi, Could you take care of the edit summaries and diffs at TPG Telecom when you get time. The page has been semi'd but the history is cluttered with the trash left behind. I believe it qualifies to be removed under REVDEL#2. Thanks!  NQ  talk 13:37, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

 Done Thanks for the note @NQ:, it should be all cleaned up now, I minimized the redaction to the specific problematic components of each revision. See the new history and let me know if you see anything I missed. — xaosflux 17:25, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you Xaosflux, it sure seems like a tedious and time consuming task redacting parts of individual revisions. Appreciate the effort. Have a great day!  NQ  talk 17:42, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

And it made my mop all icky, have to go clean it out now! — xaosflux 17:43, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Same thing again on the same page. Time to get that mop of yours! Thanks.  NQ  talk 13:39, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

 Done Thanks for the note @NQ:. — xaosflux 14:42, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

That was quick! Thanks.  NQ  talk 14:44, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

How to edit variables in notification/ confirm email?

Hi, I've found

• MediaWiki:Confirmemail_body
• MediaWiki:Createaccount-text
• MediaWiki:Enotif_body

are templates for email body.

However, I've found some vars in these template,such as

$1, $2, $WATCHINGUSERNAME, $PAGESUMMARY $PAGEMINOREDIT

and so on

How can I edit these variables to further costumize the email body?

Thanks so much!

--Sunjizu (talk) 15:48, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Those variables are passed from the process that calls that mailing function. By editing the system message we can change where and if the variables are included, but not that data that is passed to the variables. That would have to be changed in the application code via a software patch. I may be able to answer further if you can explain exactly what you want to accomplish (e.g. a before/after view). — xaosflux 18:07, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

User rights

Hi. I had requested for rollback rights a couple of weeks back which was politely declined by DeltaQuad at the time. Since I'm spending more and more time on the project these days I've decided to give Huggle, Stiki, Igloo and other tools a try, all of which requires rollback permission. How long do you think I have to wait before applying again at WP:PERM?  NQ  talk 18:01, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

My suggestion would be to keep using Misplaced Pages:Twinkle for a bit, be active in recent changes patrol, and then reapply in a month. Be transparent, list your improvements, and list your prior discussion and how you addressed the concerns. — xaosflux 18:20, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, that's a good start. Maybe I'll focus on some content work too. Appreciate the help.  NQ  talk 11:03, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Protection

I was working through WP:RFPP and eventually ended up at Misplaced Pages talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#Page Protection but I noticed that you didn't actually protect it. I've given it a month full but please change it if you had some other time in mind. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 02:32, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, I meant to give it a few days, updated. — xaosflux 13:38, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Question

Hi Xaosflux, I saw that one of the applicants for administrator got about 65% approval and was still unsuccessful. Is there a certain percentage that a user needs? Johnsmith2116 (talk) 12:39, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

There is not a specific rule, as it is not a vote. Typically, 70% is the low end of the mark, and 85% is the high end. The !votes are calculated in the tally numerically, however when judging the outcome not all !votes may have equal weighting. (e.g. "Oppose I don't like people who's usernames start with J" would appear in the tally, but would likely be given little to no weight towards the outcome.) — xaosflux 20:36, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Move Userrights

Hi there.

I am User:Akifumii and I have created this new main account. I prefer from now on to use this account so may you please transfer userrights from Akifumii to Xermano? Thanks. Xermano (talk) 07:05, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

I approve this message. Xermano is my new main. AWB access would greatly be appreciated on Xermano as well A 07:06, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

• Account linked log here
• @Akifumii:; @Xermano:. This can certainly be done, though there a few items that need to be clear. If your only intent is to have a new username, your old account could be renamed, alternately you need to show a clear link between the account, either by redirecting the old username and talk pages (preferred), or by using the legit sock banners. Having the accounts linked in the creation log like you already did was a good start too!. Which way do you want to do this? The policy related to this is WP:SOCK for reference. Also, do you plan to continue in the education program under your new account? — xaosflux 13:24, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi there. I do not want Akifumii renamed. I could just put (redirect) links between the user and talk pages and that would be fine by me. Do I have to notify the attribution committee? Thanks. Xermano (talk) 16:40, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

No need to contact anyone else, I added the redirects and some tags for you, I suggest you leave them, but feel free modify if you see fit. Transparency is a very important principal of the project. — xaosflux 17:13, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

• Do you still plan on being active in the education program? Your account will need to be re-associated with institutions/courses. Ping me on this before I move your EP-rights. — xaosflux 16:59, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Yes. I do want to participate as an eponline. Thanks. Xermano (talk) 18:02, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

The reason I created a new account was because User:Akifumii was all a dare and a lie. My friends dared me to create a wikipedia account and say all of these things in my profile. After a while, I fell in love with Misplaced Pages and its users and felt so bad about my account. Now here I am with a fresh start. Is this ok? I wanted to start fresh. Thanks for your support.
