Hey welcome to AboutUs! Nice to have you here. Our stats are a bit broken, we don't really know why... Let me know if you have any questions. Best, MarkDilley

Also, you can use instructions at FixName for SubLyMonal.org. Best, MarkDilley

Hey! Looks like you are doing some "damage" on trying to categorize the shock sites. If the thumbnails are explicit, please remove them. I also added a category to your user page. Let me know your thoughts. Best, MarkDilley

Unfortunately, our categories are not in the best shape. We do not have an easy way to merge two categories, as you pointed out with the pluralization. So, right now, it is kinda best to do what you have been doing, plural and singular. Best, MarkDilley

Hello, the www. attachment is a problem that we are working on. We are trying to find the canonical name on look up and direct to what is native to the site. However, currently the page and thumbnail redirect to www. - we standardized it because folks were saying that it didn't add www and that was more standard. Hopefully this will change soon. Any thoughts? Best, MarkDilley

Help!

Hey, I would love it if you would come to the AdultContentPolicy page and participate in defining the direction for our wiki site, after all ItsYourWiki. If you would like to participate, go here and add your name like {{NotYet|need to look at this more}}. Please let me know if you have any questions... I am really interested in what you think about this, the issue and the way we are deciding it. :-) Best, MarkDilley

Test edits

Please remember that test edits go in the Sandbox, thanks :-) Nathan ^(talk) / 03:48, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

robots.txt

Please don't attempt to create privileged files like aboutus.org/robots.txt, Robots-txt, User:Wikiman232/Robots.txt, admin.aboutus.org, etc. We do have a robots.txt but it's not editable by the system (nor should it be) and no users are allowed to edit or override it (nor should they be). Can I ask exactly what you're trying to do? If you're trying to test the wiki, please do so in the Sandbox. Nathan ^(talk) / 19:13, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello, first off, please no personal attacks. Second, what are you trying to do with those pages... just trying to understand your thought process on it. MarkDilley

Agreed. robots.txt is not a webpage. It is a text file that website administrators use to denote if robots/webcrawlers are allowed on the site. This can even go so far as to specify: which pages are allowed and aren't, which bots are allowed and aren't. In a wiki-type environment, this page cannot and should not be edited or overrided by the user and is only directly editable by developers. robots.txt may look like it's a part of the wiki, but it isn't. It resides in the same directory as all of the other system files for the MediaWiki installation (which is the wiki engine that AboutUs is using). See Wikipedia's entry for robots.txt. Nathan ^(talk) / 20:19, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the Wikipedia link does redirect. I'm well aware of this. AboutUs has clear policies on personal attacks. Please stop making these personal attacks on my talk page; after all, I am not attacking you. Most wikis wouldn't allow this, neither do we. Personal attacks are neither productive nor constructive. Comment on the comment/action of a contributor, not on the person. If you find that you just cannot be civil, take a break for a while, then come back to the keyboard. I would like to stress that we are not Wikipedia and we have zero tolerance against personal attacks, no matter who makes them. Nathan ^(talk) / 01:01, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I would like to start a dialogue with you on AboutUs and who and what we are if you're willing to drop the personal attacks. Please stop repeatedly posting the same comment over and over. As it's my talk page, I have the right to revert you if I have my reasons. Please respect them. Unless you'd like to start a constructive conversation about AboutUs, I respectfully request that you stop posting on my talk page immediately. Your repeated personal attacks are not wanted nor are called for. Nathan ^(talk) / 01:17, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Edit summaries

I notice you're doing some good work. I'd like to ask you to please leave meaningful edit summaries so as to indicate exactly what you did. Please see my contributions for examples. Please also see What is an edit summary?. Please realise also that using all-caps in any part of your edit summary is generally perceived as shouting (see Netiquette). You could be a positive and constructive contributor here if you'd just stop using nonsense edit summaries. I don't see you doing that on Wikipedia, just here. Do you have something against AboutUs? Would you like to discuss it? I remind you again that when responding to me, please do so in a constructive way. Thanks, Nathan ^(talk) / 16:41, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for contributing in a constructive way and I hope you continue to do so. Regards, Nathan ^(talk) / 01:32, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

WikiAnatomy tours

Hello, I just wanted to pop in and say hello to show you something that I'm excited about. It's a brand new tour for learning about wiki and AboutUs.org with more advanced tour tracks in the works at WikiAnatomy. You can check it out at TheWikiWay:WhatIsWiki. Have a great day.

I know I've only messaged you once previously, but could I make your list? ;)

KristinaWeis | **talk** 15:24, 5 June 2007 (PDT)

Whoa, it looks like this is getting out of hand. I thought you were joking, but either way I AssumeGoodFaith with both you and Nathan - you both make more constructive edits than I do most of the time. Have a great day ;)

Vandalism

Do not vandalise my page again. Just because I'm watching users doesn't mean I'm a "stalker" and in fact, that's offensive. I comment here to try to help you out, not because I have some psychotic fascination with you. Please don't do it again. Nathan ^(talk) / 22:42, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I have told you not to vandalise my page and you continue to do it despite my warning. It is against AboutUs policy to vandalise pages, especially after you've been asked not to do it. If you continue, you will be blocked. Cease and desist immediately. I have asked you politely to stop. Either show a little respect or I can ask the admins to deal with this.
