Welcome

Thanks for all the translation work you've been doing recently. I'm (sadly) a monolingual English speaker, so I can't review it in detail, but I'm glad to see it, nonetheless. Let me know if you need any pages deleted or other details cleaned up. Thanks! JesseWeinstein 07:19, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about the blocking problems. It should be resolved now. Thanks for letting me know! JesseWeinstein 19:04, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, resolved. Thanks! Hamilton Abreu 19:37, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about the problem again. Let me know if it's not fixed. JesseWeinstein 00:27, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

No worries. It was resolved in a day. Thanks Jesse. Hamilton Abreu 00:29, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Translation of protected pages

Thanks for the note. I've been experimenting with adding a call to the Translations template like: {{Translations| {{:{{PAGENAME}}/Translations}} }}

in Template:Protected but it hasn't been working. Maybe it's because I'm trying to transclude an unprotected page through an unprotected template into a protected page. I'll keep looking into it. Akozak 17:13, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Spam linking to wikipedia?

In looking over the spam you (valiantly) cleaned up, I didn't notice any links to en.wikipedia.org -- since we do have a number of valid links there, which now prevent those pages from being edited by non-admins, could you tell me more about the spam you noticed that linked to wikipedia? JesseWeinstein 00:30, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Sure. The main concern was spam bots creating the likes of Ireland Traniee Apprentice Jobs It, Provident Banks, Principal Job Openings, Nottingham University Job, Bank In Lombard Suberbin West, Cooperative Bank Mortgage, etc. There are dozens of those. In examining the contents, I found some reappearing URLs. Many, at the bottom of the contents, contained a link to wikipedia, such as the two at the end above, Bank In Lombard Suberbin West and Cooperative Bank Mortgage. So, the identified URLs were blacklisted, together with wikipedia to prevent future stuff of a similar nature. It's been some time now, and it may have calmed down, so this is probably a good time to remove all my additions from the blacklist and evaluate the current usefulness. -- Hamilton Abreu 00:57, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Makes sense. I'll just remove the wikipedia one, and we can see how things settle. Thanks again for stepping up while I was gone. JesseWeinstein 08:10, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Looking for ways to share basic creative commons files

I am an editor for wikiHow.com and I share a lot of files that way and through Flickr, using CC. However, I don't want to put everything there. I am actually investigating ways and places to store them and will then do it and also write about it.
