You have been an uninvolved contributor with more experience in Wiki than I have. I am left with a feeling that there are some factions here who are following their own agendas rather than Wiki's. In the case of Dnyhagen he is not helping towards any positive agreed solution while working extremely hard on the page that is for his website (the page on Wiki nows comes second on my google search which makes me consider the rationale for it). Into this throw OldRadio who wants his website linked and Wikiotr whose comments suggest a (bad) history with Dnyhagen to say the least. There are already rather too many external links on the page (in my mind & I've removed some) and I can see that, in trying to compromise, we may end up with a page of links rather than a quality article. While not as involved as some editors it looks to me as though this may require some outside assessment by a broader body of Wikipedians to try and draw it to a conclusion as soon as possible and allow people to use time more productively. I hope you do not mind me contacting you but I am not sufficiently experienced to know the best way to settle this in a lasting and positive way (& no I have NO interest in any old time radio type sites!). Thanks & regards --Nigel (Talk) 12:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC) And as a PS - don't envy you the one above - I got the sharp edge of a tongue sometime ago on that! Signpost updated for September 25th.

Ralbot 07:53, 26 September 2006 (UTC) Georgia categories Hi, I notice you speedy deleted Category:Georgia and Category:Government of Georgia as empty cats, under CSD C1. These two categories were useful despite being intentionally empty, as they were disambiguation categories. They served two purposes - firstly as disambiguation for users who know about categories and type the undisambiguated category into the search box, and secondly to catch mis-categorisation by editors who don't realise they should be categorising articles using the disambiguated categories (i.e. Category:Georgia (U.S. state) and Category:Georgia (country), or the equivalents for the government cat.) Could you undelete these categories, since CSD c1 shouldn't apply to useful but intentionally empty categories. Thanks, AJR | Talk 23:53, 26 September 2006 (UTC) totally guided bot use I'm using the bot only to disentangle messed-up interwiki links. All the actions made are totally guided. Should I quit it? --Puzzlet Chung 14:30, 27 September 2006 (UTC) Wikipedia:WikiProject_Novels/NovelsInCompleteInfobox Hi, as lots of work has been done of working through this list, mostly by me, I think it needs a re-run. Would you be able to do that in the next day or two.

I stopped your Gnome (Bot), but after re-reading my comment I was concerned about my tone. I think running a bot must be a pretty thankless job, as you often only hear from people that don't like what it's doing! It had edited a template that contained a red-cat, and caused some minor damage. I've restored the template and created the cat to avoid future problems. It's no big deal, but I was wondering if there has been discussion about editing templates, or if this was just a one-off because the template is still being developed (not often that a template would be left with a red-cat in it)? Cheers.--Bookandcoffee 16:25, 29 September 2006 (UTC) correct there are few Templates that have red cats this is the first Ive seen and Ive been doing the samething. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot)WP:BAG16:29, 29 September 2006 (UTC) It's not a prob... Could you please hit unblock again and leave a message explaining what happened? (So it doesn't show up badly on my block log). I was not sure if something was vandalism and reverted myself, that's why I used rollback. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 06:32, 30 September 2006 (UTC) Thanks, I appreciate it! --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 06:41, 30 September 2006 (UTC) I'm confused On the subject of old time radio - I've placed a link to our group - www.otterprojectonline.info several times and every time it is deleted. I don't understand why. We have valuable information concerning old time radio. We have the internets largest database of otr logs which is updated weekly. We have many articles by leading members of the otr community as well as series synopisis and and the internets second largest collection of pdf files of otr scripts. Can you give me some understanding as to why our link is deleted and commercial otr sites are permitted to 'advertise' on wikipedia, just because they have a few links to otr sources?
