Couldn't agree more, Countrymike, about the anonymity. But not sure what you mean.  Sign [[User:Hackademic|Hackademic]] 15:33, 31 August 2007 (NZST) to what, my edits? or my talk messages? The username comes up in recent changes. Thanks for bringing your expertise. Welcome to the project. The one who didn't sign the discussion page on the licensing was Bruced, who does the software tweaking. Hackademic.

I am afraid you are correct, it is however a limitation we will have to live with as the plesk box it is running on does not have php 5, which is required for later versions of mediawike, i think it will be a case of waiting until the new plesk box goes up, build new mediawiki and migrate data, your thoughts?

:See my note on the COmmunity POrtal talk. I've known Gadfium as a dedicated editor and maintaner of Wikipedia for a long time (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gadfium) and his early contributions here in editing and on noting spam have already been constant. If you think this too hasty then revoke and bring up for discussion. [[User:Countrymike|Countrymike]] 22:12, 9 October 2007 (NZDT)

Thanks. A wiki like this with such informal procedures is a joy to work on. I have no problem waiting for a while for people to discuss the matter, but I will delete spam pages and block obvious spammers in the meantime unless someone tells me not to.-[[User:Gadfium|Gadfium]] 22:09, 9 October 2007 (NZDT)

Wikipedia admin protocol states

−
Administrators, commonly known as admins and also called sysops (system operators), are Wikipedia editors who have access to technical features that help with maintenance. Wikipedia practice is to grant administrator status to anyone who has been an active and regular Wikipedia contributor for at least a few months, is familiar with and respects Wikipedia policy, and who has gained the trust of the community.

:In that case i'm really confused.... because this is the first time i've ever encountered the [[User:Operator]] ... yet, i'm supposed to "trust" him over an editor who has been participating, and has a track record in a far earlier, and more substantial wiki community than this?

The user Operator initiated and paid for this site. The user Operator is the first user created.

Can we use pics off Wikipedia? Not link to - copy and use. hackademic

I don't see why not, so long as those pictures are licensed under CC-SA. All the pictures on commons should have that license or a similar or more liberal one (I license all mine as public domain). When importing pictures under other licenses, we should duplicate that license here, and for all such pictures, we should credit the commons page and author on the image page.
There are pictures on English Wikipedia however which are under a claim of fair use, and we shouldn't import those.
Wikipedia can also use any picture (or text) from here, although I'm not aware that it's ever done so to date.-Gadfium 21:36, 22 June 2009 (NZST)
