Question

Just out of curiosity, how is it that you are editing on behalf of Robert Harris? Is he not being compensated enough to bother to learn wikitext conventions? I must say this is a little odd, especially given the fact that the ideas presented seem to conform more closely to your statements than his. 71.198.176.22 03:43, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Robert isn't being paid to learn MediaWiki markup. He's being paid to conduct a study of controversial content and make recommendations based on his experience in the media world. I'm helping Robert and Dory out with converting the documents they wrote to WikiText, simply because it's more efficient to have me do it. As for the ideas presented, I am editing using my work account precisely because any actions I take are part of my job and not necessarily personal opinions of mine as a Wikimedian.

Thank you for explaining that. 71.198.176.22 20:17, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the good work on community related issues

It is showing that there are many open venues to pursue interesting research in this area.--GlimmerPhoenix 14:35, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

blocks and bans

Moved to Global blocks and bans. For great justice! Time to test it out on the poetlister case. –SJ talk | translate   04:24, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Re: Thanks!

I think that's my perfectionist side ;) —Fitoschido ^[shout_{track] \\ 19 July, 2011 [10:18]}

Re: Thanks

You're welcome! The results are fascinating ... especially the fact that there seem to be many new editors working on articles relating to WikiProject India and WikiProject Indonesia, but they aren't the most active WikiProjects. Graham87 00:53, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Date mismatch

"day=17" seems wrong on [1]. Please delete this message after this issue has been addressed, unless you see some reason to keep it. Dualus 21:51, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the note! Should be fixed now. Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 00:54, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

2 Global Bans?

You mentioned here that there were 2 global bans. Isn't Abigor still globally banned? His attempt to be unbanned on Meta wasn't successful. Ottava Rima (talk) 19:24, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

I have no idea. Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 19:47, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Please clarify...

Here. Thanks. --SB_Johnny ^talk 17:48, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
