Hello Rjd0060. You now have global Javascript using w:User:Rjd0060/global.js (see discussion and log of changes). —Pathoschild 13:18:03, 01 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! - Rjd0060 14:21, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Rollback rights at en.wiki

Thanks a lot! It's been a pleasure to help out on Wikipedia, but now my time is over :) --EivindJ 21:12, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Your impersonator has been having fun! Poor Dungodung fell for it though - luckily no harm done though :) Majorly talk 14:20, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Deo Volente

Hi Rjd0060, thanks for your fix double redirect in this article. Deo Volente, Rjd0060. — Mikhailov Kusserow (talk) 02:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

No problem. - Rjd0060 02:28, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Request for translation fulfilled

Hi, Rjd0060.

I saw your request for translation of Biographies of living people. I'm done translating it to Portuguese, but I don't know how to add my translation. What should I do? Please, reply me as soon as you can.

Thank you. And sorry if my English skills are messy.--ATDC Raigeki 13:50, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Please add it here: Biographies of living people/pt. Thanks! --MZMcBride 03:14, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

OTRS

Hi Rjd0060. I noticed that you updated OTRS, but I miss info-nl and the associated queue wikiportret on OTRS#Info. Regards, Trijnstel_talk 14:39, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure how I left that out - when I was cleaning up the page I updated to include the up-to-date list of info queues, but somehow dropped that one. Thanks! Rjd0060 (talk) 02:35, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

OTRS request

Hi!
After waiting for more than two weeks my request for volunteering at OTRS was removed with no reply, note, warning or anything? How does this work? Do i have to keep guessing on whats going on? Dharmadhyaksha (talk) 13:15, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Ohhhh!!!! My first guess did not work. (Was expecting some kinda note on talk page.) But second one did. I have received some email from OTRS volunteers recruitment. Gosh! Please write something in the edit summary next time. Dharmadhyaksha (talk) 13:23, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Applications are intentionally processed this way and have been for years (and years). The reason being: OTRS agents do not need to disclose their positions on OTRS to the general community. Sorry for the inconvenience. Rjd0060 (talk) 16:45, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Oh i get it now. Thanks! Dharmadhyaksha (talk) 03:38, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

OTRS

Your rollback of my comments states not to vote (I didn't) but to offer comments (I did) - clarify please --Herby ^{talk thyme} 11:57, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

When I've worked with someone as long as I have worked with 99of9 I can only "endorse" - you do not keep diff for hard working helpful people. From my point of view this is a good way to keep me anyway away from that page - maybe think about the impact you have. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 15:11, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

And for rather longer than that I have been "commenting" on that page - at least I realise that it is pointless to offer views on people I've worked with for years now. No idea how you can come up with diffs for something like that - very en wp sadly. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 15:14, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

daily-article-l script updated

Hi. I've updated the daily-article-l script to post here now when there's an issue. You're welcome. --MZMcBride (talk) 22:10, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Should I expect much traffic other than on the first of the month? ;-) Rjd0060 (talk) 01:46, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Okay, the second post was me manually running the bot. It really was broken (I keep suspecting it's time-of-day-related, but there's not much evidence that it is...). I fixed this issue with this commit. And now posted for April 16, 2013. You're welcome. --MZMcBride (talk) 05:30, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

bugzilla:50209 --MZMcBride (talk) 05:20, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

I'm fairly sure this is a bug in the MediaWiki API. I ran today's delivery manually, simply skipping the selected anniversaries section. --MZMcBride (talk) 05:32, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Ultimately fixed with this edit. Hrmph. --MZMcBride (talk) 16:37, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

OTRS

Hello. I sent back an email containing informations to create OTRS account to volunteers-otrswikimedia.org 2 days ago. It's just a reminder if you have forgotten to check. – Kwj2772 (msg) 04:05, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello. There is no set schedule and we're working on a few projects at the moment. Apologies for the delay ... anyhow, I've emailed you your information. Welcome to the team. :-) Rjd0060 (talk) 23:24, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Your global CSS/JS migration

Hello Rjd0060. You asked that the global CSS/JS migration script delete your local *.js and *.css pages. The script can't handle your request, so it was referred to synchbot. Could you take a look at synchbot#Rjd0060 and confirm whether you want to continue with the request? —Pathoschild 02:35, 09 September 2014 (UTC)

Done. You can see the log of affected pages on your archive page. :) —Pathoschild 15:06, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Re RFC: can you set up a template for the front page

If you have the time, would you be able to prepare the relevant derivative Template:Announce for your RFC, and I will look to stick it on the main page. From whenever we get it there, we can add +30 days, and set a close date. If you can paste it on the RFC itself inside a <nowiki>, and encourage others to add a translation. I will add it as soon as you have it, and we can update the announcement as we have a new translation. Thanks if you can do that.  — billinghurst sDrewth 01:55, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi billinghurst. Sorry - When I first read this I was not quite sure what was needed. I think you may have already handled it? Rjd0060 (talk) 04:13, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Nope, still pending. I wish to put an announcement about the RFC to Main Page and to do that I need the text wrapped inside that template to which I pointed. I think that we can build it on the RFC page. My evolving thinking is that if we build it as a subpage to the RFC, then we can transclude the announcement straight to the main page, and any other page we so choose.  — billinghurst sDrewth 05:21, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Removal of OTRS rights required for two users

Please see the WMF commentary at Requests for comment/Privacy violation by TBloemink and JurgenNL‎ and undertake the removal of access for these users, and presumably mark the date for any future application. @Matanya: can you also remove any OTRS rights for these users for Commons. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 06:35, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi, you need a commons crat, which i'm not. Matanya (talk) 06:38, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi billinghurst. This is all already being taken care of. Tiptoety ^talk 06:38, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks to both.  — billinghurst sDrewth 06:48, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

OTRS (n + 1)

Hello Ryan,

Thank you for having given me access to the new queues and for your work as an OTRS administrator in general.

Best regards — Arkanosis ^✉ 00:56, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much for that, Arkanosis. :-) Rjd0060 (talk) 15:09, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Inactive volunteer

Hello, Ryan,
there are User:LEMeZza and User:Lvova in OTRS/Personnel list. As far as I know, they are no longer active in OTRS, aren't they? Why are they still in the list? Thanks. 37.144.129.243 22:55, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi accountless user. As noted at the top of the OTRS/Personnel page you link to, "This might not be a complete or up-to-date list. Some queues are not listed and some agents have not listed themselves on this page. For a complete list of OTRS accounts, see OTRS/Users". This is why you may see some former agents listed. The most up-to-date list is available at OTRS/Users. That page also has a caveat, however. It is updated by an OTRS administrator 1-2 times per month. Rjd0060 (talk) 01:10, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

No longer administrator

Hello. I am an OTRS volunteer. When I first applied, I was also an administrator in el.wikinews (temporary access). Now my access is expired and I don't want to do the same procedure again and again to have the access back. So I am no longer an administrator. I know that is not necessary to be an administrator to apply for OTRS member but is preferred. So, I am asking you if it is a problem not to be administrator in a Wikimedia Foundation projects no more. May I have to ask that question in a specific page? I want to continue to be an OTRS member but I thought that I have to say that I am not no longer an administrator in el.wikinews. Thanks. Xaris333 (talk) 19:10, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

No problem, Xaris333. Thank you for your help! Rjd0060 (talk) 14:04, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
