Help Resolving a conflict

I have read the pages about this on wikipedia and I have came to you because you seem to be a person who knows how wikipedia is supposed to work and are most likely 100% neutral on this matter. I am involved in a rather intense edit war with two other editors of the article Miriam Rivera. In the last days the user User:Jokestress has quite reasonably asked for the article to be backed up with more reliable sources. Well I found them and that seems to have placated her. She has acted in 100% reasonable way in all of this. The problem arises in that she has asked in the spirt of resolving the conflict we were having other people who are not 100% neutral it seems to comment on the matter. These being the user User:Longhair and the userUser:Alison in particular who have not bothered to justify anything that they have done. Longhiar being an admin seems to feel no need to discuss anything and I feel is abusing her powers. Is there anything you can do? --Hfarmer 05:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Research about Wikipedia in CityU

Hi,Winhunter. Glad to see your contribution to the article about CityU. Actually I am a research student in the Business School of CityU. And now I am doing a very interesting research concerning people's contribution to Wikipedia in the organization context. From your user page I am so happy to find that you are an administrator of English Wikipedia who may have plenty of experience about Wikipedia and also very interested in the business subject. So if possible could you please share your valuable experience with me and help me to get a further or broader understanding about the Wikipedia issue especially in the organization context.You could contact me via email yuzhong2@student.cityu.edu.hk or the phone of my office 2788-9974.Or you could leave your contact information for me if convenient. Wait for your reply.Thanks. 202.125.223.145 7 February 2007(UTC)

User warning templates.

Hey, you did a minor changed this morning to the uw-vandalism series of templates, and you put in your edit summary so as not to confuse a bot. We have at the moment around 120 warnings and growing in the uw- series of templates, and we are trying to keep make all changes, where possible, on a system level. Can you give me some background on which bot you were referring to, and does it need the change implemented for all the warnings. If this is the case I can set AWB to whip through them all for you. Let me know if I can help out. You can get an idea on most of the templates if you scroll down here. Cheers Khukri 10:57, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What I was referring to was a bot performing a subst function, which would easily confuse even <!--{{uw-xx}}--> in comments as templates to be subst'ed, I changed it to Template:uw-xx instead so it would not confuse the bot. Other user warning templates are already in this format (e.g. {{test}}) so they need not to be changed. --WinHunter (talk) 15:43, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
OK thanks, the uw series doesn't look like it has as you mention, for example {{uw-test1}}, I've got to run AWB through them for some other stuff today so I'll correct that at the same time. Cheers Khukri 07:44, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Username blocks

It was probably a mistake, but see here. I've fixed it. John Reaves (talk) 20:57, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You still seem to be blocking for username violations with account creation bocked, please don't do that. John Reaves (talk) 04:04, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
My Bad, I forgot to update the script. Going to do it now, thanks for the tip. --WinHunter (talk) 04:08, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I change the template, for you, to test 7 since you blocked him/her indef.. Just so you know, I'm not a sysop. Just letting you know about the change. Evilclown93 15:12, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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
