Type Affinity vs. Type Matching
The usage of these two terms is inconsitent in Pokémon. Whereas your main contributions use "type matching", the remainder use "type affinity". A general consensus on the proper term should be reached. KelvSYC 04:49, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

Contributor's Guide
Thought I'd let you know that as a big contributor to Pokémon, you might like to put your name up at Pokémon:Contributor's Guide. That way, people will know that you are a big contributor. KelvSYC 05:41, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Dittoboy
Do you go to Bar-Ilan university? If so, maybe you could talk to the staff there about this guy. I know that (s)he used the IP address "132.70.50.117" on 8 May 2005 at 06:53 UTC. The same IP was also used on 26 May 2005 at 17:06 and 17:29, unless it's somebody acting like the same person.

That information should be enough to find out who he is, that is of course, if they keep logs.

Warm regards,

 * By the way, does blocking that one IP actually cause the entire university to be blocked? RIPE seems to show that Bar-Ilan owns from 132.70.0.0 - 132.70.255.255 (I think...). -Frazzydee|&#9997; 23:57, 30 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes. I've tried on several computers (some are Windows, others are Linux etc.), and they all say the same thing. Yes, I know that the entire 132.70.*.* block is used by the university, and that they also own 132.71.*.* (this block is one they didn't need to start using). In addition, I know that 132.70.1.6 is a particular Solaris Unix computer (its name is Sunshine), and when I log on to that computer and try to edit I get the same message.


 * For your information, the exact name of the computer "132.70.50.117" is "proxy1.cc.biu.ac.il".


 * By the way, about "if they keep logs", some of the computers are ones which no one needs to log on to - and if no one sees who's working there and nothing personal is loaded, no one knows who it is. This includes library catalog computers in the libraries here (many departments have their own), all of which are connected to the internet; 4 computers in the student union building for use of the students; a computer room intended for students to use. (I'm a student in the computer department, so I usually use the computers for the students of the department.)

More dittoboy troubles
Hi there,

Hopefully you remember me, it's been a while...how are you?

At Wikipedia, there are still issues with whoever is trying to get Bar-Ilan blocked. Do you still go there? Recently, an IP used by the university (may be the entire university's proxy IP, not sure) was blocked indefinitely. Could you do me a favour and find out what can be done? Maybe if they took a few minutes to look over their logs they can find out who it is and restrict their access.

Anyhow, this has gone on for way too long, so I don't disagree with a more long-term block at this point in an attempt to get your University's attention. Hopefully this can get resolved as soon as possible. If you can get someone at your university to listen, they can email me at wiki [a t] frazzydee [d O T] ca, or they can email the blocking admin here.

Sorry about this- I want a long-term block as little as you do, but it's a little hard for me to argue against it when it's gone on so long and nobody from Bar-Ilan has responded to me.

Kind regards, Faraaz/Frazzydee|&#9997; 04:21, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

old templates...
Hi User142,

Are you still around? I was going through the templates and there was one (Template:PoisonType) that I'm not sure what it was used for (it doesn't link anywhere, but that doesn't mean it wasn't used with subst).

OK to delete it? -- SB_Johnny | talk 15:36, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called User142. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name User142~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:51, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
