Sandbox

I was wondering, in MediaWiki, how do you set up a system to automatically delete the sandbox every 12 hours, like wikipedia does? If you know, could you please tell me here. Thanks, Shardsofmetal 01:45, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

This is done with a bot. Please see User:Sandbot. Angela. 14:07, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

My script runs using the Pywikipedia Bot Framework. It is scheduled through a cron job to run every 12 hours. --AllyUnion (talk) 17:18, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

UserBox edits

As part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Userboxes, I removed the fair-use images from {{User no respect}} {{User:Feureau/UserBox/ComedyCommunication}} {{User Nader}} and used subst: to avoid a Meta-Template. If you can find free use images to put in place, that would be great. Thanks! 1001001 04:57, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Rocktopus As Fast As.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rocktopus As Fast As.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 00:29, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

As Fast As

Hi Shardsofmetal. Your message lists a couple of suggestions for notability, but unfortunately the article itself detailed none of these, making it speedy deletable under criterion A7. You mention that they are the same band as Rocktopus, which I see already has an article. According to the Rocktopus article, As Fast As is their current name, so it makes sense to move Rocktopus to As Fast As (rewriting the intro to take this into account) and leaving Rocktopus as a redirect page. I'll do that now. CLW 07:46, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I just wanted to thank you for making the As Fast As article. But, Shouldn't there be info about current tours, and such? Moterola 02:17, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Infobox

I think the article is definitely a big improvement over the last version of the article. Is that the real name for the tables? Pretty tables? If so, they are pretty indeed. Deyyaz ^{[ Talk | Contribs ]} 23:13, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Bands

Hey, If you ever see this I think you should have a look at List of bands from Maine, k? Deyyaz ^{[ Talk | Contribs ]} 01:42, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Good thing I saw it before it, and all similar lists, were deleted. Shardsofmetal ^{[ Talk | Contribs ]} 03:05, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Favorite album 4.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Favorite album 4.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:05, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Guess I forgot to select {{PD-self}} when uploading it. oops... Shardsofmetal ^{[ Talk | Contribs ]} 03:02, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Status

Hey thanks for updating my status. I was in a real hurry, as you know. It's great to have wiki-friends. lol. Deyyaz ^{[ Talk | Contribs ]} 17:08, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Your welcome. I'm always glad to help when and where I can. Shardsofmetal ^{[ Talk | Contribs ]} 03:03, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

User:ais523/votesymbols.js

I found a section of IE-only code here (as I don't have access to any other browsers at the moment (editing from a public computer), I searched for each of the words in the Mozilla manual until one of them wasn't found), and replaced it. (The replacement is marked by Mozilla as 'not part of any standard', but as it's in their manual it's more likely to work.) I'd be interested to know whether it now works on FireFox. --ais523 07:39, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Did I thank you for the Barnstar already? I guess not... Well then, thank you! :-) I'm happy to see people find my tools useful. Happy editing, Misza13 18:20, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
