Thank you for your work. Go on, please. --Elcaracol 08:19, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] ksh Wikipedia.
Hi Drini,
when I wrote, that you do not need to keep an eye on page content in the Wikipedia of Ripuarian languages, I did not at all mean you to stop propagating SPAM blocks or to ask you to withdrawl yourself as an admin. I noticed you did remove your adminship pretty shortly thereafter. Just in case that you did it because you misunderstood what I wrote at that time, I want to state again that you are very welcome to block SPAMbots, and clean up SPAM, in the ksh Wikipedia, too, only that there is no necessity for you to deal with questionable page content, or language, unless, off course, you really want to. --Purodha Blissenbach 00:47, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thank you very much for all your work on the kabyle wikipedia. As you see, not only the states are willing to erase this language from the surface of the earth. Your help contribute to save one of the oldest language on the planete: Tamazight, the language of still 50 millions people in north africa and abroad.
Alone you represent much more than UNESCO for us

Hi,
I noticed that you are listed as the only administrator at uk.wikinews. I am running for the beurocrat/admin position there [2]. In the meantime, I would like to change the front page as it is messed up and out of date. It is protected, I don't have a password yet. Could you help me out? Thanks.

[edit] Edit request on lmo.wp
(I'm only asking you, since you're actually listed[3] as an admin there)
I'm trying to update the interwiki links on w:lmo:Template:User pms, but can't, because a local sysop (who isn't particularly active anymore) fully-protected it. Can you add this block of text to the page?

- Okay, I've got another edit request. This time it's on w:lmo:Template:User fr-1. Due to the large number of interwikis I'm trying to add (149), I've collapsed the display so it doesn't eat up your entire talk page. :)

[edit] Haitian creole Wikisource
Hi Drini,
I'd like to change the name of the Haitian creole Wikisource.
Indeed the present name "Wikisòrs" doesn't represent haitian creole way of forming words and it wouldn't be correct to let it like that. We have the word "Sous" which is more appropriate.
Could you tell me how we can proceed ?
Cordially, --Masterches 10:56, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Block
Hi! I'm User:Abastillas, a faithful user of the Cebuano Wikipedia. Recently, however, I am not able to do edits because of the block on IP address 222.127.228.5, which may be my IP address (I noticed my IP has been changing from time to time). I believe that blocking vandals or spambots are good, but why are established users included in blocks?
I hope this issue may be addressed quickly. Thanks --Abastillas 00:19, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Drini, I've resubmitted your request for account usurpation at sq.wiki (in light of SUL being made active), and there was no opposition. I've sent an email to the local user.

[edit] Problem with the font of Tibetan wikipedia
Hello, Drini. I don't know if it's the appropriate place for complaints, but I think that the font in Tibetan wikipedia is impossible to read because of its smallness. It's not only me who complains about that. In fact, Tibetan themselves say it's really too small. So would it be possible to enlarge fonts (f.e. to the font 16px or 17px). You are a steward, so you are probably able to do this. Thank You for the answer --Visconsus 13:01, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

You are regularly blocking IP-addresses on :fy. I guess you are able to do this as you have steward rights. It suprised me to notice that you are a Sysop on fy.

- Those are accounts created by users with global (ie merged accounts) when they visit the wiki. That has been disabled, and users with global accounts will have the local account created when they log in, edit, etc (instead of just viewing the wiki).
