User talk:Cspurrier

Oops
Thanks for catching 81.42.156.202's edits. I was reverting the Beating Season vandalism and it looks like that got lost in the reverting as well. For the record I leave anonymous votes and comments, because they can be useful. The admin in determining the vote can choose to weigh the votes differently anyway.

 * I expected as much, but you never know with some admins :). Thanks for the note --Cspurrier 01:39, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Confirming Meta adminship request
I am the same user as meta:user:cspurrier and n:user:cspurrier--Cspurrier 04:55, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the rollbacks
Thank you for the rollbacks. I wonder what made the IP vandalize this small peaceful web site, not wikipedia... - Marsian / talk 04:51, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It was a vandal bot, it appears it was programmed to attack until it was blocked and then move on. It hit Wikipedia,Wiktionary,Wikibooks,Meta, and Wikiquote, in that order.It may have continued on to other Wikis, but Brion blocked it WMF wide.--Cspurrier 23:13, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

 * NP, Good luck. I live about 45mins outside of Columbia. --Cspurrier 18:34, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

General voting rules/Proposal
I want to call the attention of all wikibookians, especially active admins to the discussion about the new voting policy. Wikibooks currently does not have a concrete voting policy in effect, so the adaptation of this policy will potentially create immediate differences in the way business is conducted here. Due to large amounts of discussion, changes, and dissention, there are several versions of this policy being considered:


 * Version 1 Written by User:Whiteknight
 * Version 2 Written by User:Jguk
 * Version 3 User:RobinH's revision of Jguk's version
 * Version 4 Written by User:Kellen
 * Version 5 Whiteknight's Revision of Kellen's Version.

Also, there are additional issues being discussed, such as the inclusion of a "minimum contributions" clause, that will limit users with less then 20 votes from editing. Also, there is a proposed clause that would allow this 20 vote minimum to be raised in response to abuse.

I am sending this same message to all currently active admins. I hope you are able to come in and give your opinions on this matter. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 20:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
Could you do a favor for me? I need an administrator to delete part of the history of The Computer Revolution. Someone vandalised this page and the vandalism has been reverted, but they also vandalised the edit summary, so every time I look at the history of this article I see the word ____ written over and over again. I understand if you don't want to do it, you might not want to if you don't want to look at words like that. Thank you! --24.71.223.148 03:38, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Would like to hear your opinion...
Take a look into Policies and guidelines/Vote/What is Wikibooks a proposed policy decission page and cast your vote, txs. --Panic 04:33, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

(I'm sorry you didn't receive a welcome message early but...) Welcome message
Hello, and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * To learn the wiki-markup-language syntax, see Help:Editing.
 * You should sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;
 * There is a box at the top of the edit window that will insert this, too; it looks like part of a signature.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
 * You can tell the community something about yourself in your userpage.
 * You can get to this page by clicking the tab at the top of the page labeled with your registered username.
 * If you are a Wikipedian, see Wikibooks for Wikipedians for a primer on how things work here (it's a little different).
 * If you want to base your work here on materials from Wikipedia, please use WB:RFI (requests for importation) to bring the material over in compliance with the GFDL.
 * If you're an instructor and plan on using Wikibooks for a class project, see Guidelines for class projects
 * Please say hello at the Staff Lounge with any questions or ideas.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Please take a look at Naming policy before starting a new book.
 * Remember to maintain a Neutral point of view.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you want to ask a question, visit the Study help desk, the Staff lounge, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be a good idea to add this page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there. You can do that by clicking the tab labeled "watch" at the top of the page.

Good luck! --Panic 00:49, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

WCI 2011 : Accelerating Wikibooks : Would like to discuss!
Hello!

I will be delivering a Talk at the Wikimedia Conference India 2011 on the topic of "Accelerating Wikibooks".

Over the next few days, I aim to make the proposal more and more wholesome and relevant. I'd like to discuss with you about the proposal and hope you can recommend me a few names on Wikibooks with whom I can discuss this.

I'd be very happy if you could discuss the proposal at User:Thewinster/Accelerating_Wikibooks
