[edit] Thanks

Hey Seb, I know it's early days, but I just thought I'd give you a barnstar anyways (Wikiversity's first) to thank you for all your tireless work. You deserve this already :-). Cormaggio 15:56, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nice color

don't you think ? Guillom 15:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bureaucratship

Hi Sebastian, I nominated you for bureaucratship - I think you'd be great for the job. Cormaggio 17:13, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey there

I see you've listed yourself as willing to mentor me. How do I indicate you on the page? Still willing to do it, I hope! Thanks for the opportunity to serve Wikiversity! Atrivedi

Just write it next to the name of the mentor you accept. -- sebmol ^? 09:41, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Approach

I've noticed that in a number of your posts, you have emphasized that this project is rather young - thanks for having this spirit at heart! Generally speaking, I think I agree with your philosophy and perspective too. Admittingly, in the back of my mind, I am a bit worried. I really hope we don't fall into the trap of codifying too much. --HappyCamper 07:18, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks /Parser functions?

Thanks for the welcome. In response, yes I am aware of the parser function, but have limited awareness of how they work. I created the template as part of my work on this little experiment, which is basically something I've copied from the Italian wikipedia. Perhaps you might want to take a look at it. If any of it is any good perhaps it can be used on the Main Page? Thanks again, and let me know if there's anything specific I can help with. - Trevor MacInnis 14:54, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Huhu

Na jetzt muß ich doch auch mal schauen, wie es hier so ist... ;) --Cascari 18:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] import process update

See the note from SBJohnny on this talk page about import of pages from Wikibooks.

[edit] interwiki links in red

I have seen this happen twice: one Wikiversity page suddenly starts displaying all interwiki links in red. The first time I saw it was last week, it lasted about a day. This page just did the same thing today. --JWSchmidt 18:16, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Joining us again"

Hi Sebastien, I fully anticipated to be back to normal this week, but things will remain chaotic, I'm afraid, until after the weekend (back home again Monday evening). From then on, I very much look forward to joining you all again on IRC and wiki :-) Cormaggio 14:30, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sebbot

Hi Seb - I granted bot status for User:Sebbot - sorry it's taken me this long, and I hope it hasn't inconvenienced you in the meantime. Cormaggio 10:10, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Free Online Uni

Thanks for moving that; I was wondering if we might want to do that. The Jade Knight 22:07, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] community-approved

You are now a community-approved custodian and Wikiversity's first community-approved bureaucrat! Thanks for all of your contributions to Wikiversity. --JWSchmidt 16:35, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Research Guidelines

Hey - I'd be grateful if you could have a browse round Research Guidelines on beta (haven't figured out interwiki links on WV yet). Thanks - Xenon 19:49, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wherebot

I think everything is ready at Wikiversity for Wherebot. There is now an example of how this might work at Wikiversity; see User:Wherebot#Example. If you have any questions for user Where, maybe you could put them here ("wherebot for Wikiversity" thread at Wikipedia). --JWSchmidt 16:54, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Custodianship

I want you to be my mentor for Custodianship. It says I need one. Student Galaxy 20:02, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] semicircles?

Looks like you got away with it. The buttons remind me of the dome in the logo...now I wish the buttons were full semicircles!. --JWSchmidt 01:33, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiversity:Bots/Status

I've asked Hagerman to help us out by running his bot on Wikiversity (It's a pretty neat bot that marks comments with {{Unsigned}}). I was hoping you could drop by that page to approve/decline/flag the bot so we can get it running. User:JWSchmidt and I will be happy to monito its performance. Cheers. Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 04:04, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] candidate for probationary custodianship

Please consider this candidate: Wikiversity:Candidates for Custodianship/J.Steinbock. Thanks. --JWSchmidt 14:45, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Rounded" corners

This discussion has been moved to MediaWiki talk:Monobook.css where it should always have been. guillom 14:30, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] who is online

for the status thing
i'd imagine one could make an rc-bot
that changes the status as soon as the user makes an edit
and times out 15 minutes after the last one

Problem with that is -- what about people who are here for courses? It's fine for active editors, not for learning participants. I've thought a bit about that approach too. Historybuff 17:37, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] sitenotice

Could you update the sitenotice at beta.wikiversity.org? Thanks. --JWSchmidt 16:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] renaming user

Hello. I'm drini. I got impersonated past weeks by User:Drini here on this wiki. I'm kindly requesting your help getting back my name renaming Drini to something else (inird, xyz, etc), and then changing this username (Drinisteward) back to drini. I've made a small edit on meta confirming my identity: [1] . I'm a steward, I could make the rename myself, but since this project has local bureaucrats, it's better if you (or cormaggio) could help me on this.

I'll appreciate the help (I'm also dropping a note on cormaggio, so make sure you don't rename users twice ;) Drinisteward 14:58, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Birthday Sebmol!

[edit] probationary custodian request

As discussed at Requests for Custodianship I am willing to mentor User:Remi0o and he is willing to put up with me. If you agree, please make Remi0o a probationary custodian. --JWSchmidt 21:20, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cormaggio messes up: Part 47

Hi Sebmol, in archiving Wikiversity:Announcements, I've messed up the layout of Template:Announcements/Community_bulletin_board, which in turn messes up the Community portal. Do you know how we can keep them in two separate columns - or do you have any other suggestions? Thanks. Cormaggio ^talk 11:39, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Hi Sebmol! Thanks for the buttons. I will do my best with them :-) --HappyCamper 02:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adding a button to the editing toolbar thing

Do you think you could add a button that when you press it give you a simple layout of a simple table maybe? That'd be cool. :) Maybe it could have options too where it gives you parameters for certain properties of the tables. It would just be a faster way to do it so someone doesn't have to exactly look it up. Heh. Thanks. --Devourer09 15:04, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Custodianship on Beta Wikiversity

Hi! I have posted you a messsage on beta Wikiversity. I decided to let you know here since you check this site often. Greetings, Azimski 20:31, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the babel template

check my talk page, is it only me or are en-3 templates displaying that wikimedia france link? i'm not sure it should be there (didn't like it there, myself, but if it is supposed to be..). capi ^talk 15:06, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Offer

Hi, Sebmol, I have a humble request for you. Would you be willing to mentor me as a probationary custodian? I'm willing to help out all I can - and really just need someone to get me going and a solid reference point should I encounter situations where I'm not too sure what to do (although this shouldn't happen to much after reading the guide and being well versed in Wikimedia projects). I run my own private installation of MediaWiki so the technical aspects shouldn't be a problem. It would be great if I could learn from someone obviously experienced and with the project's best interests at heart. Cheers, --Pumpmeup 06:08, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MichaelFrey Bot

Seb, would you mind taking a look at Wikiversity:Bots/Status#User:MichaelFreyTool? Michael asked me to take a look at it, but I've no idea what to look for. :-) It seems ok - in use on Wikibooks and de.wv - is that valid criteria for turning on a bot locally? Cormaggio ^talk 20:27, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Username Change

Is there a chance if you could take a look at Changing username I've placed a request for my username to be changed. Imperial ^{What do you want?} 08:30, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Usurpation follow-up

Crats: I messaged a couple of you previously about this but just noticed there was a specific note to message all crats on Wikiversity:Changing_username#User_rename_requests and due to the delay thought I'd better do again: I'm following up on my request from December at Wikiversity:Changing_username#Usurpation_of_User:Doug, no action has been taken. mikeu mentioned back in January that there was a technical problem with some of the tools and I see that mentioned on the Changing Username page now too. Reviewing the problem myself though, I am not clear on why this administrative issue is really a problem. I can see why it might be in some cases but not allowing clearly valid requests to go through without a pro forma check seems silly. For the life of me, I cannot see what these two tools would tell you for information about a user that you can't get nearly as easily through other means, particularly when we're talking about accounts that haven't edited in years in most cases and even then very little. I know there are only four of you, but the request ahead of mine has been sitting since July. That user and I are both Sysops on other projects and are both trying usurp accounts that appear to be clearly dead. I've actually been waiting before taking a more active role here until my account was fully unified and it looks like you could use a bit of help. Cheers! --BewareofDoug 03:02, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] ArchiveBot

How do we get {{Auto archive}} to work on User talk:Graeme E. Smith. --mikeu ^talk 00:10, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
