I'd like to know what you think you're doing, [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Public_speakers&diff=1597655&oldid=1595826 removing my contributions], with no warning, no discussion? That, to me, seems awfully rude. -- [[User:Thekohser|Thekohser]] 14:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

== Reversion And Respect ==

I hope you will not make an issue of my revert, in the spirit of [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=329470046 your previous statement] that "I shall sincerely be endeavouring to act much less of a raging arsehole, I assure you. Preferably not at all". I spent quite a bit of time making sure that compromise proposal was well-grounded, and I request you respect that effort even if you do not like me personally. -- [[User:Seth Finkelstein|Seth Finkelstein]] 01:56, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Wikimedia Blog

says: "WordPress 2.6 is available! Please notify the site administrator" (We're not current?) Kylu 21:09, 21 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

At least it's not nagging the readers. I moved three blogs on my own site (http://rocknerd.co.uk/ , http://davidgerard.co.uk/notes/ and http://redcountess.co.uk/blog/ ) to 2.6 today. The second and third were fine because they were all but unmodified from the standard install; the first has lotsa tweaks and extensions, and I had a marvellously annoying time this afternoon fixing it up and I'm still not finished. Grah. - David Gerard 21:58, 21 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the reply. On my windows machine, I've got a "Secunia PSI" application which helpfully/annoyingly makes an alert rather akin to a siren when it notes that an installed program is insecure and out-of-date. With any luck, they'll never port the program to *nix. Kylu 23:35, 21 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Can you please clarify your comment? (Which part of this needs an exception?). Thanks. Rjd0060 22:11, 17 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

I meant in terms of who should have access ("plus whoever the arbcom deems suitable" on the list of allowed persons) - David Gerard 11:03, 19 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
Interesting. Thanks for clarifying. - Rjd0060 15:08, 19 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

What are you doing?

I'd like to know what you think you're doing, removing my contributions, with no warning, no discussion? That, to me, seems awfully rude. -- Thekohser 14:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
