Restorations

Because of the number of janitors involved, instead of posting on each talk page, I will post here...

I restored some stuff.

I don't get it. Please clarify. Chenzw  Talk  01:51, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

In my deletion log... I restored some stuff deleted under the Romanian Rivers RFD, that were not rivers. Instead of posting to a bunch of administrator talk pages, I posted here. Best, NonvocalScream (talk) 02:20, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Warnings and Blocks

There are many editors violating this tenet of respect and good will. It is about a trend from editors. Failures to assume good faith, and outright personal attacks threaten the colloborative atmosphere. So, starting about now, I'm going to caution, warn, then either block, or bring up for discussion based on the history of the whatever editor is displaying a pattern of disrespect and bad faith/bad will. This attitude of "i can say whatever I want about an editor" has to stop. This is a small community. We are all volunteers. Best, NonvocalScream (talk) 18:25, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

popups

Could an admin go to simple wiktionary and show Brett how to change the popups so they are like the ones here? Preferably, an admin that has experience changing things like that (Twinkle, HotCat). Go to their Simple Talk. Brett (admin) has already approved the change, he just needs to be shown how. Griffinofwales (talk) 22:09, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

I haven't really messed with gadgets much in the past, but I think you just have to copy over MediaWiki:Gadget-popups-API.js and MediaWiki:Gadget-navpop.css. Their local definitions file (wikt:MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition) already reflects the proper file names so it should be as simple as transwiki'ing the .js and .css pages. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 07:08, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

bot flag

I need the bot flag. I am adding and changing stubs, and adding articles to cats (a lot of articles). In 10 minutes I will start doing it whether I have the flag or not (per NVS's comments at my talk page). Griffinofwales (talk) 01:17, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I am now finished replacing stubs. You can take away the flag if you want, but I will need it back around 2200 today. Since, I will not be editing from now until that time, it will probably be easier to leave the flag on. Griffinofwales (talk) 03:41, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Finished for now. Will restart editing around 1400. Griffinofwales (talk) 04:08, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

I need the flag back. I will wait 10 minutes (or more, internet connection is really slow right now). Griffinofwales (talk) 17:55, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Think about getting an alternate account with the bot flag. —MC8 (b · t) 17:56, Tuesday August 11 2009 (UTC)

It's at bot requests right now (User:GriffinBot1). Griffinofwales (talk) 18:06, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

For a completely different purpose, and was not flagged. —MC8 (b · t) 18:09, Tuesday August 11 2009 (UTC)

end of RFDA

A 'crat needs to close FrancoGG's RFDA. Griffinofwales (talk) 19:24, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

We know. -DJSasso (talk) 19:25, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Be nice. NonvocalScream (talk) 00:23, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

That was the nice answer. :P -DJSasso (talk) 12:17, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
