Wikiindex
Hello. I'm BobaCartman. You are a User of Wikiindex and I wan't with the KUW make a German Version. Did you know, that we allowed to? Gruß, BobaCartman 12:51, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to WikiIndex! Great to have you here! Best, MarkDilley
Category:ReadOnly
Do you agree with me that none of the sites in that category are really wikis? --Elassint, 07 2 2008 talk
I'm not sure. People may want to know about them. It seems they're more like ordinary web sites where ordinary folk can't edit. Proxima Centauri 10:25, 5 July 2008 (EDT)
- But this site is about WIKIS, not ordinary web sites where ordinary folk can't edit! Elassint, 07 5 2008 talk
I edited your work
Just wanted to know I edited this. And what does it mean CyberArmy? [1] [2] - Best, MarkDilley
- I don't know the Wiki. I'm editing all the Wikis classed as read only because they are discussing deleting them. If you know the wiki and know that it's editable please remove it from the read only category. Proxima Centauri 05:07, 9 July 2008 (EDT)
vandal?
or someone with much different opinion from ours? Is there a way to collaborate with them? Maybe give them their language in description section, but keep critique section and maybe let the questions in the critique stand stronger than the other things?
Best, MarkDilley
- Are you talking about Deborah? Because I don't think any accommodation is possible, barring a "he said/she said" section. CPers do not live in the same reality as everyone else, and they KNOW we're WRONG. --Gulik 16:59, 4 August 2008 (EDT)
Category:Pseudoscience
Good idea for a category. There are a good proportion of the wikis in Category: science that could be shifted to Category:Pseudoscience. -- Carl McBride (talk) 07:01, 4 August 2008 (EDT)
- Sssssss... Get out of bed! --Snuffleupagus 12:33, 5 August 2008 (EDT)
- My computer's broken down. I'm limited to times I can get to public computers for at the moment. I hope I'll get mine repaired by early next week. Proxima Centauri 10:52, 6 August 2008 (EDT)
computer
Is it repaired yet? --Snuffleupagus 16:01, 24 August 2008 (EDT)
- I've bought a second hand back up computer. Proxima Centauri 06:47, 25 August 2008 (EDT)

Nice to meet you
- Hello Proxima, thanks for the note, nice to meet you, I hope I can be helpful, but my efforts are usually episodic at best. --jeffmcneill 11:38, 7 October 2008 (EDT)
You have just been made an admin on this wiki Elassint, 11 3 2008 talk Thanks! I didn't expect that. Proxima Centauri 14:54, 5 November 2008 (EST)
Sysop
Hello, I made you a sysop because, through your efforts here, you care about this wiki. Work here is open - much of it is a reference (like Wikis to Add - not exactly what I had envisioned - but cool none the less :-) I hope to highlight some cool things that are happening within wiki communities here - give it some warmth. But really - you can build it in a direction you want. One thing I think is lacking is welcoming. Several years ago, many of us got together at WikiSym in Denmark and we set up WikiOhana - one of the first things we thought needed to happen in wikis - was to welcome people. What also needed to happen was to welcome wikis to the WikiOhana. Look forward to more. Best, MarkDilley
RE: Welcome
Thanks for the welcome. I'm already used to fighting on several wikis, so that doesn't actually bother me. Also, if an edit war occurs and everyone keeps reverting and stuff, protection may be recommended. --Michaeldsuarez 11:40, 19 November 2008 (EST)
- I know. Before I became a sysop I promised that I wouldn't use sysop buttons over the Conservapedia RationalWiki issue. I'm stuck. I can't easily do anything. I think we're all used to fighting on other wikis. Proxima Centauri 16:36, 19 November 2008 (EST)
Sorry for my tardiness
I want to talk about what I see as beneficial about wikis, in terms of a constructive point of view. First, I want to be part of a community that has no EditWar. While we work in a wiki, editing is given - so if there is something said, we can change it, but if it is said again, we must work to figure out why the other person is saying it. I do not think that this is a pollyanna view - because I do believe that giving a good faith effort has a limit. I will go to the pages to see if I can figure out what is going on. Thank you for your efforts here. Best, MarkDilley
Introduction
Hi, I'm ForestForTrees. I'm way too busy right now seeding The TMS Wiki to do much editing here, but thought it would be good to introduce myself. ForestForTrees 12:13, 19 January 2009 (EST)
ComplaintWiki
Perhaps your complaints on Category:Wikia would be more appropriate on the ComplaintWiki article, since the ComplaintWiki is an anti-Wikia wiki. In addition, I'm not sure if Wikia is going to view the article on themselves, so maybe you would be better off complaining to Wikia on a Wikia Forum if you want change, although they may have already seen your concerns on Uncyclopedia. --Michaeldsuarez 09:18, 27 January 2009 (EST)
- Thanks for telling me, but I'm not responsible for the site. --Michaeldsuarez 17:55, 1 February 2009 (EST)
username/password
Hello Proxima Centauri, I have a problem. Wikiindex doesn't recognise my password. I always use the same one on wikis, so i'm sure i didn't type it wrong. My username is D. G.Neree. is there a way to solve this? 80.101.117.19 08:18, 15 February 2009 (EST)
I don't know what to do but I've contacted several other administrators. Proxima Centauri 09:46, 15 February 2009 (EST)
- Thanks Proxima, I've posted my reply to User talk:D. G. Neree --EarthFurst 23:04, 25 February 2009 (EST)
Jazzman vs. HelpJazz
Judging from this edit, I say that HelpJazz and Jazzman831 are two separate individuals (at least on RationalWiki). --Michaeldsuarez 15:42, 16 February 2009 (EST)
- See this, Jazzman831 has been banned from Conservapedia since 2007. Really, I doubt that HelpJazz and Jazzman are the same person. --Michaeldsuarez 16:01, 16 February 2009 (EST)
- Reconsidered -- they may be the same person on Conservapedia, but they are two separate individuals on RationalWiki. I don't edit either of those wikis, so I really don't know much about them. Checking his edits, both HelpJazz and Jazzman has appeared to only be at Conservapedia in order to disrupt it. --Michaeldsuarez 16:26, 16 February 2009 (EST)
- There is at least one troll. Proxima Centauri 03:38, 17 February 2009 (EST)

Bureaucrats
I removed your name from Category:Wikia since everyone (including myself) appear to have this ability. Wikia is probably preparing for MediaWiki 14.0. According to this, the new software is now available in its stable form. --Michaeldsuarez 15:01, 23 February 2009 (EST)
RE: Slow Wikia
Which skin do you use? If you're using Monaco, then it's not Wikia that's slowing you down; it's the Monaco skin that's slowing you down. Monaco has too many elements and graphics that need extra loading time. Try switching to Monobook; less thing load and such. I'm using the computer at one of my university's library, and it's not slow. --Michaeldsuarez 12:28, 24 February 2009 (EST)
Addition of a wikiFactor?
Dear Proxima Centauri,
I have just started the page Proposal:wikiFactor, and it would be wonderful if you would take a look. All the best -- Carl McBride (talk) 05:55, 4 March 2009 (EST)
Main namespace
Hello, just wanted to let you know that people in the main namespace is the practice here - see my note here - let me know your thoughts on this. Best, MarkDilley
If that's the way you do things here that's OK with me. Proxima Centauri 17:25, 9 March 2009 (EDT)
New problem
Hi, I think that you have to say something about w:Forum:Changes to the Create Wiki process on Category:Wikia. --Michaeldsuarez 22:23, 25 March 2009 (EDT)
Spam
Dear Proxima Centauri,
Thank you for fighting spam.
I am mystified at something I see in the Recent changes:
- 8 June 2009
- * (Block log); 11:16 . . Proxima Centauri (Talk | contribs | block) (blocked "User:PATRICIA MARTELLOTTI" with an expiry time of 6 months: Spamming links to external sites)
As far as I can tell from Special:Contributions/PATRICIA_MARTELLOTTI, this user has edited 2 pages, and I don't see any "links to external sites" in those edits.
While I am in favor of blocking people "Spamming links to external sites", I fail to see how blocking people who don't do that accomplishes that goal.
Therefore I unblocked this user.
Please tell me if I am making a horrible mistake :-).
