[edit] IRC cloak request

Hi,

I am PatríciaR at pt:wp, and would like to request a cloak, "@wikipedia/PatriciaR". IRC nicks are PatriciaR and PatriciaR_. I asked User:Jdforrester but apparently this user has not edited anything here since November 5th, or on en:wp since September, so I don't know how often he checks his requests. Thank you! PatríciaR 17:40, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oh no! Not another IRC cloak request!

I am User:Strykerz on en.wiki. I watch for channel trolls and talk a lot. Can i request a cloak on the nick Strykers on #wikipedia. I'd be happy to have @wikipedia/* or @/wikijunior ...

Thanks!

[edit] Yet another IRC cloak request :-/

Hi, I am User:Vic226 on en.wikipedia.org, and I would like to request an IRC cloak for my IRC nickname (same as user name in Wikipedia). I'm assuming my preference would be @wikipedia/Vic226 because most people use that. Thanks a lot in advance! Vic226 03:08, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation/Jews for Jesus 2

Good morning (GMT time); since you are currently my only supporter for my MedCom nomination, I thought you might like to check out my case page; I accepted it 4 days ago and it looks like it's over!

Hoping you are well

[edit] RE: Your bot cloaks

Hey Xyrael, thanks for your message. The master nick is SWMTBot and all are linked; the requested nick is wikimedia/Tangotango/bot/SWMTBot. As for a non-Tangotango cloak, I'm not sure what real problems there are with it. If anything goes wrong with the bots, people can go over to the Small Wiki Monitoring Team page on meta and find out which bots are owned by whom; the situation is the same as now, as I only have control over SWMTBot, and none of the other bots owned by other SWMT members. (Besides, the bots do not operate outside of the Small Wiki Monitoring Team channels). If it helps accountability, I can also make the SWMTBot code display the owner in the "description" field. If this is acceptable, my requested cloak is wikimedia/bot/SWMTBot. Thanks a lot! Cheers, Tangotango 02:40, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much Xyrael! :D I'll make sure the bots don't go on a flooding rampage around freenode, so don't worry :P Cheers, Tangotango 01:40, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] error in IRC cloaks request

Hello, Xyrael. I requested IRC cloaks wikipedia/hashikure at [1], but it said "Could not establish connection to MySQL server." and request was failed. And now, I can no longer access the page. Is there any problem? --端くれの錬金術師 14:24, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Today, I retried request and request is successfully entered! Sorry for spam. --端くれの錬金術師 03:34, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IRC cloaks for Wikiversity

Do you do IRC cloaks for accounts on Wikiversity? --HappyCamper 21:12, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I see. How about for Wikipedia? Are these being done? --HappyCamper 02:04, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] E-mail

Hi! Do I need to create an account to e-mail you? The Communication Projects Group/announcement got my interest, but it was pretty hard to find out, that in fact an application or such should be sent to you. This is a problem (finding it hardly), wich should be healed immediately, and I can help you in that :)) I'm a future communications expert, now in 3rd grade (7th semester) at here: [2]. I think I'm pretty prepared to do minor/medium tasks or coordination things, and/or participate in some big things also (someday), or translate :) I'm Vince from Hungarian Wikipedia. - User talk:Vince, E-mail

[edit] IRC Cloak correction

Hi Xyr! Can you please change my IRC Cloac "Wikipedia/Viele-baeren" into "Wikimedia/ABF" ? An other staff told me that this is possible, but that I have to ask you for Wikimedia Cloaks. Thank you, ABF 13:22, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IRC cloak

Hello - I am en:User:Ugen64, and I filled out the IRC cloak request form, but your memo box was full so I couldn't send you the IRC memo to confirm that I own that IRC username. Anyway, I'll give you the other info anyway - if you need the memo to fulfill the request that's fine, I'll just try to send it another day.

Wiki username: ugen64
IRC nickname: ugen64
Requested cloak: wikipedia/ugen64
Diff link: [3]

Thanks - ugen64 04:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IRC cloak request

Hey Sean,

I got a message that my IRC cloak was denied because the "instructions hadn't been followed". I followed all the instructions provided on your form, are there some elsewhere that I missed? Only a couple things I can think of if not...

1. I used a user sandbox page on Wikipedia to make the diff instead of my user talk. Still with my username, still confirms identity, certainly can't imagine such a pedantic thing would've mattered!
2. Initially, when I tried to send you the memo, it was full. However, I held off sending the form, and later in the day it went through. (Or at least MemoServ said it went through!) I only sent the form after that, so you certainly should've had the memo.

I'll be happy to resubmit, if you need, but I'm rather at a loss as to what I might've done wrong. Seraphimblade 17:32, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Note to self: all above this point dealt with.

[edit] IRC cloak request

I am Holek_ on freenode and I would like the cloak wikimedia/Holek. Thanks. You said above to go to your toolserv page, but there is a field for diff in editions on your talk page. ;) --Hołek ҉ 20:30, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] cloak request status?

Hi, I requested a cloak on May 7 [4] and haven't heard anything about it since then. Is there a problem? --en:User:infoCan 16:20, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thank for your reply. I just did a /who on myself, and it still displays my address. Something must be wrong. Did you set the cloak for infoCan ? --en:User:infoCan 14:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Excuse my ignorance, I looked around but couldn't figure it out, could you point me to instructions on how to activate it? --en:User:infoCan 18:09, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Works now. Thanks! You may want to put these instructions on the page about getting a cloak. --en:User:infoCan 19:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] click here?

Your "click here to leave me a message" has pointed at a redirect until recently - you might want to check the history (and sorry for the abbreviation i used in an edit summary, i realized later it might be mistaken as incivility) --Random832 04:23, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IRC again

Please continue to participate in the ongoing discussion at Talk:IRC guidelines/wikipedia. --Random832 11:50, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Also, Talk:IRC guidelines/wikipedia/archive 1#The long answer was archived, but I don't believe you have read it. I think you should read it. --Random832 11:52, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IRC

I would like to suggest that you deprecate (mark historical, mark rejected, whatever it is you do on meta) the guidelines as they are right now, and you actually get on IRC and get people who know the channel to help write a new guideline document. These guidelines aren't bad per se (there are one or two problems but nothing big), so normally they could be tweaked, except for the fact they have an air of illegitimacy that's going to be hard to get rid of, so 'on the ground' the good gets thrown out with the bad. And, seriously, if you're going to be our group contact, would it kill you to come on and say hi once in a while? Try being active in the channel for a while. Get a feel for it. --Random832 03:20, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

• Yeah... this is good advice. Why are you ignoring it, IRC contact? --W.marsh 19:42, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FatMan IRC

I am new to IRC and am having trouble with the directions for setting up a cloak (for my Wikipedia ID:"The Fat Man Who Never Came Back") My first problem is that I don't understand how to register a Nick on freenode, as described here. Where exactly do I enter commands such as "/msg nickserv register <your-password>"? I have mIRC and have just started to use it. Do I need to enter that command into a certain window, or connect to a certain channel in order to register with Freenode. Thanks for any help you are able to offer; sorry for my ignorance.--TheFatManWhoNeverCameBack 16:38, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

User:Cometstyles was able to answer all my questions. I know how have a generic cloak, but I'm still waiting for you to grant me my official Wikipedia cloak (I have filled out the form as instructed on this page[5]). Thanks.--TheFatManWhoNeverCameBack 19:58, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another cloak req

Sorry to bug you, but I couldn't send the memo on the Freenode IRC, it said you were at the maxumum number. When you get a chance, can you cloak me? I submitted a request through your form. I'm Dreadstar on IRC, under the master name of Chaoswheel. Thanks so much! Dreadstar 01:55, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IRC cloak request

I am Arrowsmaster on freenode and I would like the cloak wikipedia/Arrowsmaster. Thanks. --80.51.48.210 15:14, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] We couldn't find the message sent to bot. It appears that it was not sent.

Hi, Thanks for running this, the automation is easier than when my husband did this same thing, way back when... However, I appear to be stuck on step 5... It is saying the bot did not receive the message but I saw it in IRC... se this record of what the bot said ... the bot did respond to the message so I captured that. How should I proceed now? I can honestly check all the check boxes on step 5 :) Epousesquecido 03:08, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Translating IRC-Cloak Tool to German

Hi Sean, I am not sure if you are the right person to speak to but at least you can tell me who is. I would like to translate the IRC-Cloak-Tool to German and I dont know how that is possible (if it is possible). Kind regards, -- ShaggeDoc talk 10:05, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I have offerd my help also a few days ago, but at least Codeisporetry has done so. ;) Regards, — ^ABF —

[edit] IRC cloak request

Hi, I am hu:User:Bennó at hu:wp to request a cloak: "@wikipedia/Benno". My IRC nick is only "Benno" (for back and away).

The nick is registered, but hasn't been used in a very long time. The Freenode FAQ says that if you ask a staffer, we'll be happy to manually drop the one you want so that you can re-register it. Since you are a staffer, I ask you and hope you will be happy to manually drop that one for me. :) Lot of Thx in advance!! Bennó 21:22, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IRC cloak request

Hello Sean Whitton, I'm trying to request a Wikimedia cloak via the automated service. However, everytime I try to confirm everything, I get this:

I've already sent the message to the bot. I obtained this reply from the bot:

Did I made a mistake, or can I make the request here? If possible, I'll like to request the cloak Wikimedia/Macy. My nick on freenode is Macy and Macy_. Thank you. Macy 00:15, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
