Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Testonites, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Campaign and Hunton (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, Agendum, and thank you for your contributions!
An article you worked on Julian Porteous, appears to be directly copied from http://www.sydneycatholic.org/people/bishop_julian_porteous/. Please take a minute to make sure that the text is freely licensed and properly attributed as a reference, otherwise the article may be deleted.
It's entirely possible that this bot made a mistake, so please feel free to remove this notice and the tag it placed on Julian Porteous if necessary. MadmanBot (talk) 12:18, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
- In response to User:MadmanBot:
- I have been at pains to rewrite this biography and, although my main source is the one you refer to, it has been completely revised.
- Please contact me in person (ie, not by Bot, please) if you have any further queries or suggestions regarding this biography.
- Many thanks, Bruce – Agendum (talk) 12:36, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
- It looks like what you did here is to take the original text and make a few minor changes to it. This is called close paraphrasing and (if the original text is copyrighted) it still constitutes a copyright violation. I see another editor has removed the content in question anyway, but you should be writing content in your own words, not just copying copyrighted content and making small changes to it. Hut 8.5 12:19, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
- That's exactly what I have done so far – and what is normal practice, so far as I am concerned. Now, I'm just beginning to feel that you guys are attempting to deliberately make things difficult for those of us who've been around quite a while, and wish to create new articles. I've never before had so many objections, threats to delete and negative comments aimed at me in nearly nine years as a contributor. It's all a bit unreasonable and unnecessary, especially as I just uploaded the piece less than a day ago. Please don't quote Wikipedia guidance at me – all I'm trying to do is make an encyclopedia. Wikipedia has needed an article about Bishop Julian Porteous for some time, and I'm attempting to do something about that. As I have already said elswhere, to User:Cgtdk, please be patient. We are all on the same side, and I will do my best to abide by the new regulations regarding biographies, but please be patient. It will be re-written in my own style, and it will be properly sourced and referenced. Best wishes, Bruce – Agendum (talk) 12:47, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, I'm just trying to make sure Wikipedia doesn't have any copyright violations. I'm sure you can appreciate that this is important - we could potentially get sued if we host copyrighted material without the right permission. You left a message on the article talk page asking for anyone with any other concerns to contact you, so that is what I did. The article in its current state is not in any danger of deletion. Hut 8.5 13:16, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
Hello, Agendum. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Julian Porteous, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Julian Porteous to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.
If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.
Thanks, Cgtdk (talk) 13:55, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Skipp Porteous
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Skipp Porteous requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. -- HighKing++ 13:53, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
We need your help testing latest huggle
Hello,
I am sending you this message because you listed yourself on meta:Huggle/Members as a beta tester. We desperately need attention of testers, because since we resolved all release blockers, we are ready to release first official version of huggle 3! Before that happens, it would be nice if you could test it so that we can make sure there are no issues with it. You can download it packaged for your operating system (see Wikipedia:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta) or you can of course build it yourself, see https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx for that. Don't forget to use always latest version, there is no auto-update message for beta versions!
Should you find any issue, please report it to wikimedia bugzilla, that is a central place for huggle bugs, where we look at them. That is i mportant, if you find a bug and won't report it, we can't fix it. Thank you for your work on this, if you have any questions, please send me a message on my talk page, I won't be looking for responses here. Thanks, Petrb (talk) 15:07, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
New huggle 3.1 is going to be released soon
Hi Agendum, we are to release a new major version of huggle, but we did receive almost no feedback from our beta testing team, which you are a part of (see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members). It would be of a great help if you could download it (if you have windows, all you need to do is getting http://tools.wmflabs.org/huggle/files/huggle3.1.0beta.exe and putting it to a folder where you have installed huggle) and test it. You can always get a help with making it @ #huggle connect!
Major changes:
- Multisite support - you can now log in to unlimited number of wikis in 1 huggle session and get a huge queue of all edits made to these wikis. This is good for smaller projects which gets overlooked often.
- Ranged diffs - you can select multiple revisions and get a huge diff that display all changes done to them.
- Fixes of most of bug reports we had so far
In case you found a bug, please report it to bugzilla: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?product=Huggle&list_id=147663 thank you! Petrb (talk) 10:05, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
Huggle message
Hey Agendum! You are receiving this message because you are subscribed at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers
I have recently launched a new downloads for beta testers that contains nightly builds of huggle, eg. versions that are built every day from our master branch and contains latest huggle. These builds are currently provided only for Windows and Ubuntu. You can find them here: http://huggle.wmflabs.org/builds/
Please keep in mind that these don't have any automatic updates and if you download and start using nightly build, you will need to update it yourself! So don't get yourself to running old version, it's possible to install both stable and nightly huggle, which is what I suggest.
Keep the bug reports coming to phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/create/?projects=Huggle Many thanks! Petrb (talk) 09:53, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
