Re:ACC edit

I was just about to leave you a note apologizing. My browser doesn't show things right and I thought it was "/%2" I just checked in Firefox and it was ",". So sorry for that. It is not the first time I have had problems with that browser. RgoodermoteNot an admin  21:06, 9 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yup that was me. --SkyWalker (talk) 06:54, 10 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Warning edit

I was placing a SOURCE, not doing any "testing", vandalism at all. Can you remove the warning? Source being placed is http://www.lawnflowersjerkyandbigfoots.com/bigfootshootings.aspx . Thanks. What the hell is it with these Database locked warnings? Been getting them all day.205.240.146.233 (talk) 19:25, 20 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

This has all manner of sources in it about people shooting Bigfoot and related creatures, incl the Fouke Monster. Click on the blue links to access the articles. 205.240.146.233 (talk) 19:28, 20 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Vb dot net.png edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Vb dot net.png. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 19:18, 21 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Update instructions on how to grant bot flag? edit

Given that you've added an "obsolete" tag to mw:Extension:MakeBot, I suggest that the instructions at the bottom of m:Bureaucrat also be updated to reflect the change. I make this suggestion at m:Talk:Bureaucrat#Update instructions on how to grant bot flag?, and would appreciate your opinion since apparently it's a seldom-edited talk page! Thanks.

Because the Signpost hasn't been sent in a while, to save space, I've condensed all seven issues that were not sent into this archive. Only the three issues from November are below.

ACC Tool edit

Hi you sent me a message in August that you wanted to confirm that I had made the request for use of the tool. Well I guess this is the conformation. Sorry that it is very late. Yamaka122 ...:) 05:25, 25 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
