Hi AmiDaniel, I'm an italian wikipedian. I've seen some screenshot of your tool, and I wish to import it into it.wiki. I've discovered (just today) that you're making it available on multiple wikis, could we be included into the list? In negative case I'll copy and modify it by myself :-P Bye and thanks --Jalo 15:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC) PS: if you write in my italian talk i'll reply sooner.
Well, the interwiki VP project sort of ... ummm .... died, for the simple reason that VP was constructed initially as a single-wiki application and reconstructing it to be interwiki-compatible proved far too dificult. A sister project, m:WikiMonitor, however, will hopefully be going beta soon, and it will be quite capable of supporting _any_ wiki in _any_ language (that is, actually, the primal goal of the project). Your help could certainly be used there. Assuming I encounter no further setbacks, I should hope to make initial releases available quite soon. AmiDaniel (talk) 18:17, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I just clicked on a link to the vandalproof page & noticed your name there. I've never heard of the programme before & was wondering if I could ask you a couple of questions about it. 1)Can anyone use it? 2)It sounds exactly like the tools sysops use - Are they? 3)If so, do you have to be screened/elected to be able to use the tools or do you have to already be a sysop? 4)If vandalproof is like being an admin, why doesn't everyone just download the vandalproof file rather than go to RfA? any other info would be helpful... :) Thanks, Spawn Man 08:42, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

How can I (or even can I) request to become a VPRF Moderator? ~Steptrip 00:59, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Yes I do. The backlog situation seems to have resolved itself with Xyrael's becoming active again, so we should be good. At Steptrip: That should not have been there, just gibberish. Prodego talk 19:45, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

You recently edited the "borescope" article and deleted two links that I added. I am curious why you think informational pages on How to Select a Borescope and Borescope Technology are spammy, while an article on the history of a particular borescope manufacturer is not spam. All are linked to borescope manufacturer's web sites, which obviously have the intention of selling their products. It is likely that any useful links will contain some "sales" content or be associated with a manufacturer or seller of borescopes. Please help me understand your (or Wikipedia's) criteria for spam.

I had made a request to register a while back, and was accepted, however I still get the message that I am not on the list (I don't think it has to do with the user list being corrupt because I have never been able to activate it). Can you make sure that I was added to the list? Or if not what could I do? Baristarim 00:15, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
I have to inform you that www.amidaniel.com is currently unavailable. Both the forum, the website and VP's download link. Happy editing, Snowolf (talk) CON COI - 23:25, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi there,
I do indeed have a backup copy of VP 1.36, as well as a copy of all of them since 1.22 which was uploaded accidentally, so that will be fine. I signed up for the mailing list and bugs, so yeh. Ale_Jrbtalk 21:55, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I have a fully revised version of 1.36 complete with fixes and changes such as the AIV issues we discussed, and a few other things that managed to move themselves into that version by accident... Unto where shall I send it? Ale_Jrbtalk 14:54, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
dccannon _at_ cs (dot) unm (dot) edu
(gmail no likey zip files) it would be much appreciated. Unfortunately I have no compiler on hand at the moment as my other laptop is nowherez to be found (actually I know where it is, but it's not here..). On another note, I'll have phpCollab up soon and hopefully a web-based interface for my subversion repository. The shell version is already up, so if you want to just ssh into it to upload, I can gladly give you a login. The web-based version should be a hell of a lot easier to use though. AmiDaniel (talk) 03:27, 7 April 2007 (UTC)As an update, I dug up my old comp, compiled, and uploaded it (and I also did some work on WikiMonitor! [3]), so there's no need for you to compile it. AmiDaniel (talk) 04:15, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
I am sorry to have given that appearance, but had I yielded it would have been a purely superficial gesture; Danny is such a high-profile editor that none of the other bureaucrats is truly more disinterested than I in this matter. I believe that I have made an impartial decision; the agreement of several bureaucrats confirms my belief. — Dan | talk 03:40, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi some time back you protected the Shree Swaminarayan Sampraday, please can you open it back up because we have now created another page by the name of Swaminarayan Sampraday but the name you have blocked is the full name so we just want it redirected back to our page with no revert wars.
Thank you
Raj - सनातन धर्म 12:38, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Ok the reason why there are a few different pages is because they all have different subject headings and this was a censures decision taken by Sfacts administrator to split all the page so it prevents edit wars, all I want you to do now is un-block the Shree Swaminarayan Sampraday page and redirect it to the Swaminarayan Sampraday page which is very simple.

Special note to spamlist users: Apologies for the formatting issues in previous issues. This only recently became a problem due to a change in HTML Tidy; however, I am to blame on this issue. Sorry, and all messages from this one forward should be fine (I hope!) -Ral315

Hey AD. I've got my username changed (as you can probably see) and would appreciate an update of the various VandalProof places as I assume I will have lost my mod powers (and access at all, I guess). Thanks. —Sean / 09:47, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Since it is a private wiki, why don't you install a feature similar to WikiTruth's, which disables account creation and editing by anonymous IPs? No hard feelings about the ad-infinitum block, I just didn't know that it was a private wiki. ~Steptrip 01:50, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks so much. I will follow both your suggestions. 172.212.75.134 08:22, 16 April 2007 (UTC) Ah - your e-mail? How do I know that? Or will Pipex reach you here?85.210.255.81 08:29, 16 April 2007 (UTC)Why does my IP address vary?85.210.255.81 08:31, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

(with the _dot_'s and _at_'s naturally replaced by '.' and '@'), and please also send me an e-mail from your pipex account. Again, I'm not going to guarantee that the account will be usurped, but with proof of your identity, I'll gladly address it to the devs. AmiDaniel (talk) 01:18, 17 April 2007 (UTC)Thanks - I've only just found my way back to you. Jo Mabel was also helping and suggested I went to Meta:Developer (something like that) which I did via his page but he's closed down and I now can't find my way back! These 24 hr. Wiki days, where change occurs all the time, are so difficult for 'newbies' to work with. I do want to get back, however, as myself - and will eventually do so. The next step will be to follow this up - so I do hope you can leve it here for a while, since I have to figure out all the dots and dashes - and that won't be today.

Hi, My main username for Wikipedia was blocked by you...It is Digitalmk...I just would like to know why becuase I have never posted or edited anything, just browsed and read articles...thanks for any information you can give me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Digitalmk20 (talk • contribs).
What criteria does it use to suspicious edits?
And also, it would be great if we could have a system that marked some edits as safe (by voting, I guess) to not having all vandalfighters to look at the same edits all the time.

Hello there. An editor recently placed a "serious warning" for "Blatant vandalism" on my talkpage using Vandalproof. It was perfectly obvious that my small edit was not vandalism, as i explained it in detail on the discussion page and later his talk page, and infact made the article more clear and accurate. I do not wish to impune his reputation, but it is pretty clear to me that he was using this vandalism tag to intimidate new users from editing a page he regularly edits. My question is: is Eurocopter tigre entitled to use this software or feature? It seems his talk page states that his application was turned down... In any case, entitled or not, I believe this user is using this software to persue an edit war against those who disagree with his inclusion of the EU on various lists of countries. Please ignore or delete this if this is not an appropriate place for this little problem. Or if you're busy doing something useful! Best regards, Nick. 195.137.96.79 02:42, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

You created this template, but the same thing can be accomplishd with ((pp-protected)) using the reason= parameter. Nothing transcludes the one you created and nothing links to it. Would you mind if the one you created were redirected to the other one, or deleted? CMummert · talk 18:29, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
nmap will tell you that a given host has one or more http-related open ports. After that, how do you confirm that the host is actually an open proxy? The straightforward way would be to send an actual request to each open port, to retrieve a page from Google or Wikipedia. Is there a better way? --Gribeco 18:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, the user User:Purgatory Fubar has been reported at WP:ANI for persistent abuse of vandalism tools. User has been "edit-warring" and using VP for quick revert purposes. Attempts to engage in discussion on his user page have been reverted, again using vandalproof.

Granted that not all can use it, could administrators, etc, be forced there for password and email changes? ("You cannot change this here, you have to log into the secure server." This would also stop a bunch of the "open keyboard" problems, as finding an admin-powered keyboard would only allow the usurper (who doesn't know the password) to commit temporary mayhem, not set himself up for more in the future.) Security is a pain, if we could only get rid of the users we'd have a prayer. ;) htom 23:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
