Fighting spam

Thanks for helping fight Spam on the wiki. I have asked Nick Sayers to consider giving you some admin power to be able to ban spammers and delete spam pages. --Marte Kinder 12:59, 11 July 2009 (PDT)

Brussels poster

Hi sysop ;-)
You removed the placeholder for [[Image:Cyclonudista2010_léa600.png|title="Poster for the 2010 event"]]. Léa is still an active member of the Brussels WNBR group, and I assume she will [soon?] create the 2010 poster and upload it by the name she can see and that is derived from last year's name Image:Cyclonudista2009_léa600.png (still available). With that placeholder, it should then immediately be visible and positioned. In the meanwhile, the red link is a good reminder of what is still needed. Perhaps you like to undo your edit?

Hello, and sorry for keeping you waiting, I saw your message just now. I think it's better to upload the file first, and then create a new link to it: the filename may differ from what you expected, and I don't like this kind of red links (and this one would have been there for over a month now, so...) -Erik Baas 20:13, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Category name capitalisation

Hi Erik. Thanks for your brilliant and diligent work categorising images and pages. I just wanted to suggest a different capitalisation though. The precedent has been set for titles to be in sentence case (eg: List of rides, Brighton & Hove planning notes etc), with proper names and initial words capitalised but the rest in lower case. Likewise, Category: 2010 Posters etc should be similarly titled (ie: Category: 2010 posters with lower-case 'p' instead). Would that be OK with you? Best wishes, Nsayers 17:11, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, I like getting things organised. ;-) About the categories: of course, and I should have done so in the first place, sorry. I'll change it as soon as I can find the time. - Erik Baas 20:09, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Contact details?

Hi again. Could you give me your email address and/or instant messaging / phone details for extra-wiki communication? I'm thinking of setting up a wiki discussion group on Yahoo Groups or similar, as lay users can understand this better than MediaWiki's arcane communication system. Alternatively, email me at brighton AT worldnakedbikeride DOT org. Nsayers 17:11, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Sure, it's erikbaas AT nsesoftware DOT nl, or you can use the link E-mail this user. However, I'm not at all happy about creating yet another channel of communication, as we (in The Netherlands) already have 4 or 5... - Erik Baas 20:06, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
