I've reverted your edit to Mafia (game) in which you remove the underscore from Cry_Wolf. The underscore is correct, as is visible on at the Cry_Wolf article. An easy mistake, given than an underscore in a Wikipedia link is almost always wrong, just wanted to give you a heads up. — Alan De Smet | Talk 04:41, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey Froth!
Thanks a lot for that barnstar - I really appreciate it! --Fir0002 01:23, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi froth, thanks for signing off on my Vandal Proof application. I have had some problems logging on, with the error message You are not on the user list appearing. Can you help?
schgooda 01:25, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Unfortunately not.schgooda 01:37, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Froth, it is not considered desirable to warn users that have corrected their bad edits themselves with strongly worded warnings. "Thanks for experimenting..." or warning like that would be more appropriate. You also need to sign your posts on talk pages...--Pethr 06:25, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I would like to thank you for your blatant threat to have me removed from Wikipedia. Despite my numerous contributions to Wikipedia, and for me to lend my support to your delist nomination, this is the thanks I get? And it seems that numerous Wikipedians have had no problems with my username or haven't raised any eyes about it, including established administrators.
I demand a formal apology and that you cease any further attempts to get me banned from Wikipedia without due cause.--293.xx.xxx.xx 08:32, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Where can I find Windows XP's compatibility mode? That last article is no help with that. - 131.211.210.17 09:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey... thanks for getting back to me. I knew about the edit minimum but I thought that parhaps a look my contribs might convince. Not a problem, of course, and I understand your reasoning. I'll keep on clunking along with undo and popups :-) Thanks for taking the time to leave a detailed message! It is appreciated. Katalaveno 03:18, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes, thank you, it actually does allow me to login. Alex43223 Talk | Contribs | E-mail | C 20:58, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi there, I'd downloaded Vandalproof and then realised you needed to be confirmed access to it! Anyway thanks for giving me the oppurtunity to use it to fight vandals on Wikipedia! Thanks again TellyaddictTalk 19:42, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
I have a question. On the Wikipedia page about it the creator says that you can block vandals, so does this mean I could even though I am not an administrator, but I would have to have a valid reason?. Please answer soon! TellyaddictTalk 19:45, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
You double approved some users (a new applicant put already approved names back on), could you fix it please? Remember to remove the double welcomes. Prodego talk 19:03, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
I do thank you for the note on my application being denied - it is definitely much better than to hear nothing! Can you not though take into account that I have been registered for more than two years with no history of vandalism or edit wars? It is no problem if not, I'm just keen to help and make the most use of my time. Camw 01:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Dear you should check i have made 305 in last month even though i was rejected for 3times?u r asking me that i should make just 250 eidts but i made 305 but still i am not approved ?why is it so?if it is not personal then what it is ?it is 4th time i am not approved? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Khalidkhoso (talk • contribs) 10:10, 8 January 2007 (UTC).

Thanks for helping me with my walnut picture. Did I get the lighting right? | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 19:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry for reverting your user page but I think it has been modified by different user. If true, please warn him yourself, if not, I'm sorry and welcome your change of opinion on OS X.;)--Pethr 20:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I was recently approved for VandalProof, but when I downloaded and tried to run it, it told me that I wasn't on the list. I tried to contact User:Betacommand about this but I heard nothing. I have dynamic IP, could that be the reason why I can't log in with VP? Cheers! Baristarim 19:26, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
I hope this isn't out of line, and I don't intend to sound mean-spirited. I can see that the user meets the minimum requirements (just barely), but it might be just a bit too early to put a power tool like VP in this user's hands. Take a look at the notes I posted to that talk page just before your note. I don't think the user will intentionally abuse the tools, but his or her understanding of basic procedures seems a bit weak right now. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 05:13, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
My thought was that you can rack up mistakes a lot more quickly with VP than you can manually. But no, it would be inappropriate to immediately de-list him. I'll watch his first few edits to see if I can offer him any pointers. Umm, I should have already been on the approve list; I was added on November 3. I tried it for a few days, but gave up after fighting that run-time error '91'. It was crashing on me every few minutes, so it was unusable. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 05:46, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the hint. I will think of another name soon. WP 06:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
You've posted 3 times on my talk page telling me I have the right to use VandalProof, which I'm currently using to write this message. You can stop now if you'd like, unless you really feel you feel the need to continue..? Thanks, Ard0 (Talk - Contribs) 01:51, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey Bri, sorry about the confusion. What I usually do is to copy the "to be archived" chunk to the new archive page and then go back and cut the chunk from the donor page. I've found (the hard way) that it's safer that way, until tonight that is! If you have no objection, I'd like to restore the first couple of days of '07 back to the RD so that Archive 20 will be a clean break at the end of '06. Let me know. --hydnjo talk 02:34, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Same page, different subject: I've requested speedy deletion of Wikipedia talk:Reference desk/Archive 21 so as to red-link it in the Archive box at WT:RD. That way there will be no confusion as to where the next archive is. You may be asked to approve this request as you are the author of A21. Just keeping you in the loop. --hydnjo talk 00:38, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Please stop feeding the refdesk trolls. Hipocrite - «Talk» 03:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Several people, including myself, are confused about your comment on this nomination, when you say you can still see duplicate people in the edit. No-one else seems to be able to, and the photographer guarantees that there are none. Personally I can't even see the one you call a 'glaring example', as I'm not quite sure which person you are referring to. I think it would be helpful if you could be more specific here. Raven4x4x 08:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Can you Pliz check my contributions and Edit wars and tell me if I am Eligible for Approval cause Iam Awaiting approval..Thanxø~Cometstyles~ø (talk)
I do thank you Froth for the note on my application being denied. I appreciated your reply, that was indeed better than receiving no reply. Thank you once again ;) --Extranet (Talk | Contribs) 05:42, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
OK. I respect that and the user who I adopted will have to try later. Thanks anyway. [[[User:Tellyaddict|Tellyaddict]]

Hi there. I've created a new version of this image that might cover some of your comments. Thanks. TimVickers 21:33, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Why must you get on me about my signature when you could be doing something much better to help the encyclopedia right now. It says try to avoid having breaks in your name, and it never says that they are aren't allowed period. Plus like i've told every body for the trillionth time i've gotten rid of everything on my signature sop that it is no longer customized anymore!!!!!

I am not sure, you are closing the mod tools after you update the list and welcome, right? Prodego talk 20:12, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I tried to connect to VP and it says the user list is corrupt and told me to contact a moderator to fix it, can you help? thanks.... Tellyaddict 21:29, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/JRPG (game): "Software isn't notable for being free, it's notable for being popular " Popularity is not a determiner of notability, and things can be popular and non-notable, or unpopular and notable. Please don't confuse the two. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 01:52, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm a little puzzled by your view on StuRat's RfC. You said that "deletionist" became an accepted term. However, many users repeatedly requested that StuRat stop using it--and only people on one side of the debate use it as a means to characterize people on the other side. If your only standard for acceptance is that the term got used repeatedly by a few people, fine. If not, can you reconsider what you said? -- SCZenz 13:25, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
We need to be more careful with the approvals of VP. Recently there have been a number of users that were approved who should not have been. I appears that as long as the user has +250 edits you approve. while that is one factor in approving there are others and Im not sure that your looking into them. I do not mean to insult you but I would like to take over the VP approvals completely for a while to ensure that there are no errors in approving. If you would Like I can go over the details of what to look into besides the edit count if you wish. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 19:29, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
