[change] Wikiquote

Great work on Simple Wikiquote! However, it looks as if the project will be closed shortly. If you wish to continue contributing, you can, but it won't make any difference at all in the vote, and it may be a waste of time. You're also registered under the name 'Copertwig' on Wikiquote if you're having trouble logging in. I'm also a sysop over there if there's any serious problems. Thanks, Archer7 - talk 11:22, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

What I meant by that was that if you're building up a lot of content to try and change people's opinion in the vote, it's not going to make any difference whatsoever. The people that are voting to close Wikiquote think that the entire idea of SEWikiquote is useless, no matter how much content it has. Thanks, Archer7 - talk 09:39, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I disagree. See your talk page. --Coppertwig 13:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

About the Wikiquote page count, I could be wrong here, but it's probably not been reset in a while. The Wikimedia Foundation's server organisation is far too complex for me to fully understand, but basically some functions like the current time, Category:Deletion requests and other strange things only update every so often, so you can either manually 'purge' them and force the server to grab a new copy, or wait. I don't think you can purge the number of articles... Archer7 - talk 23:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[change] Jesus

Hi Coppertwig! I've removed most of your additions to Jesus because they were not necessary. If you go back and read the page carefully, you will find that

• The article tells in the introduction that the information comes from the Gospels.

Rest of Edit deleted by its author. Sorry about cluttering up your page. I hope you found my comments on the Priory of Sion fraud relevant. --Amandajm 14:47, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[change] Check User voting

With the ongoing situation of vandals and their sock puppets disrupting Simple English wikipedia, a discussion has been going on about selecting users here to act as Check Users to help identify the people who are causing the problems and take actions to try and prevent them from causing more. For any wiki to allowed to have users with Check User ability, that wiki must vote on users and come up with a 70-80% approval with 25-30 votes. Simple has a small community of dedicated users, so we need all of us as a group to come together to make this happen. Many of our editors are not entirely interested in what goes on behind the scenes here, they are here just to create good articles. There is nothing at all wrong with this, but at this point in time we need each editor to take just a few seconds and visit the Requests for Adminship page and cast their vote for any or all people who they are comfortable with giving Check User access to. Each wiki needs two members who are accepted by the community to hold this position to help fight vandalism on the wiki.

If you have any questions about what a Check User is or what their job is, please feel free to ask any of the admins (or look at the information on Check User on Meta.wikipedia.org), but please take a moment and voice your opinion in the votes to help us deal with this ongoing situation. -- Creol(talk) 07:51, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
