[edit] Re: blocking
If a registered user gets blocked (in many cases due to a patently offensive username), and then attempts to edit after being blocked, whatever IP address that user is attempting to edit from gets automatically blocked for 24 hours. This appears on the Special:Ipblocklist as:
- [SomeTimestamp] [SomeAdmin] blocked #[SomeBlockNumber] (expires [SomeTimestamp + 24 hours]) (Unblock) (Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "[SomeBadUser]". The reason given for [SomeBadUser]'s block is: "[SomeGoodReason]")
This is intended to reduce the effect of vandals who vandalize with multiple accounts, whilst still protecting the privacy of their actual IP address. In the future, you can place something on your talk page like this:
- {{unblock|my IP address was recently used by [SomeBadUser]}}
That will be get attention more quickly and effectively than e-mail. — Jun. 27, '06 [11:12] <freak|talk>
[edit] Season infobox
Cheers. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be added to it? Crickettragic (talk) 07:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 1938 VFL Season
G'day Lindsay. Was just wondering why you added Regan's name to the Awards list stating that he was Argus Player of the Year ? RossRSmith (talk) 01:15, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
- G'day back to you. I am presently unable to get access to my AFL/VFL resources, etc. and most of my time is being currently spent on attempting to finish off my Ph.D.
- However, in the absence of any support from my currently unavailable references, it would seem that others have also had some level of documentation as is shown by the information at Champion of the Colony and at Jack Regan and, as well, at the Full Points Footy discussion of the backline in the Victorian Team of the 20th Century.[1] Perhaps, when I have access to my resources once again, I may be able to give you some more information. best to you.Lindsay658 (talk) 03:02, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

[edit] Hypnosis navigation bar
Please place this template more carefully in pages. Use the preview button to see how it looks after you place it. You're putting it beside infoboxes, and because it is so wide, it seriously compromises the format of the document. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 02:18, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Missing from Australian rules related articles
Hey Lindsay, I have to say I have missed your excellent contributions to Australian Rules related articles recently. I see you're trying to finish a PhD, which is probably a good enough reason to go quiet on the editing front but I look forward to your return. I'm slowly and rather painfully trying to work Laurie Nash to Featured Article status so if you have a spare minute I would appreciate your thoughts on what i need to add to it. --Roisterer (talk) 02:28, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. I know I have still got a long way to go with the article and I'll get back to you when I'm further along the track. Cheers --Roisterer (talk) 08:26, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- Good thought. I know Miller certainly played cricket with Nash at South Melbourne but they missed each other at VFL level. I shall have to check whether their paths crossed in the VFA. Richardson had already retired from football by the time Nash started but no doubt knew a good footballer when he saw one. --Roisterer (talk) 23:44, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- re: pubs. There's not a lot of info on Nash's publican days in Wallish (where I got the info from). I'm hoping to get an opportunity to look at some newspapers from the 70s to see if it says anything about it. Thanks for all the feedback, I really appreciate it and the moment I get some spare time I'll use it to incorporate your feedback. --Roisterer (talk) 00:34, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
