A bug with your AWB?

I used to use visual inspection of the duplication that it only exclude one string. There might be some mistakes as your illustration. Today I changed the exclusion by regular expression and it runs correctly now. — HenryLi (Talk) 12:37, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How often does HKBN rotating IP? What is the collateral damage? — HenryLi (Talk) 13:55, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I use Navigator and it change IP every time when I reset modem. It is seldom blocked. You might consider reset your modem(?) when your IP is blocked. — HenryLi (Talk) 14:02, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is based on district council election and crafted with GIMP. — HenryLi (Talk) 13:58, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adoptee Discussion

Hello Deryck, I have found some vandalism on the Yarn page by 151.196.37.18. Is it better to revert the article or correct the vandalism that is noticed? How can I do this and what about the vandal? It seems that the only other editing they've done has been reverted, due to vandalism, as well. I don't get here much, but manage to find something of interest, to do, when I'm here. Thanks! How's everything? --Edna H. 02:25, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As I was typing the above, Alex Bakharev was reverting the page. Would still like to know the procedure, if you have time, or if you can tell me where to look..... Thanks --Edna H. 02:39, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Deryck, I don't need any help, at the moment, thanks. If I get into any trouble, I'll let you know, though... :) I'm sorry, I don't have much time to be here, so I'm glad you're getting some more interesting, and involved, adoptees. Take care, --Edna H. 03:49, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a forum

This is clearly indicated by Template:Talkheader, Template:Notaforum, among others. Forum-like and chat messages are not tolerated and freely removed by multiple other users. Otherwise simply weakens the point of talk pages. ' 16:16, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Help

Hi Deryck, you helped me earlyer regarding a dispute with a wiki user, he's disregarded your warning, left a mean message on my talk page, and deleted my posts again, and I know there was nothing wrong with my posts this time. Can you please advise, or maybe issue a temporary block on him? Hes turning that discussion page into his own private discussion where anyone who posts a comment that he doesnt agree with, he deletes. Im sorry about bothering you with this, I just find it annoying having to go and repost. Im also not entirely sure how to undo his deletions, is it possible for you to undo his deletions so I dont have to repost? Baaleos 17:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unusual Adoption Request

Hi! Im an English teacher in Toluca Mexico (west of Mexico City). My Advanced B classes will be contributing to Wikipedia as the focus of their English course for Fall 2007. I am looking for people who would like to mentor my students (who will be working in groups) as they do the following assignments: Edit and article (adding a citation), writing a stub with a citation, translating an English language article for Spanish Wikipedia and for the final project, writing a full article for English Wiki (they can expand on the stub mentioned previously). What I would like to do is put a list of "mentors/adopters" on my talk page as a kind of short cut for my students, who have limited time to get things done. The semester begings Aug 6, but the real Wikipedia work wont begin until the beginning of Sept. If you would like to add your name to my list, please go to my talk page and add it there, perhaps with a short introduction, if you like.

Thank you!

Venue suggestion needed for a meet-up in Yuen Long

Dear: Deryck Chan/Archive 9 ：

In the past meet-ups, we always had our meeting in the centre of Kowloon, either Kowloon Tong or Mong Kok. However, apart from these places, I am sure that alternative venues in other region would be suitable.

This is the time for your suggestion! According to some discussion on Chinese Wikipedia, from August of 2007, the Hong Kong Wikimedians’ meet-up would be held in all districts of Hong Kong in a circulation basis.

Here is the tentative information of the first meet-up：

Date：11, August, 2007 (Saturday)

Time：After 5:00pm

Proposed region：Yuen Long

The community would request for ideas of where we should hold the meet-up , in order to have a better decision. If you have any good ideas, don’t hesitate to give your opinions, million thanks!

Please don't hesitate to give your good suggestion to us

Regards,

Hong Kong Wikimedian
