[[Template:User gnulin3]]
Per userbox migration, a userbox you created (Template:User gnulin3) needs to be userfied. Would you like to migrate the userbox into your userspace? If you're not sure how, let me know and I'll take care of it. If you'd rather not have it under your userspace, I can adopt it into mine. Please let me know on my talk page. Cheers, xenocidic (talk) 16:22, 16 April 2008 (UTC) (Potentially divisive)
:actually - let's leave it for now (so it's still in-line with the other gnulin ones). I'm trying to get a handle on whether or not userbox migration is still being conducted. Thanks for the quick response. xenocidic (talk) 16:08, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[[H.O.P.E.]]
Hi. Did you talk to any of the H.O.P.E. people? Did you manage to recruit any Wikipedians to talk there? Thanks.--Pharos (talk) 10:06, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:Hey Pharos. I just sent my idea for the 2 speeches/panels to the organizing, but I'm almost certain they will be confirmed. I still haven't recruited anyone yet, though. Any suggestions? Thanks! volt4ire 20:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
::As I said, I think User:DGG would be a good inclusionist to ask if you're looking for an inclusioniism-deletionism debate. I don't know who is a deletionist. I would encourage you to take the initiative on this, because there's a limited amount I can do. Post at the meetup talk page and our mailing list and you should get some good replies. Thanks.--Pharos (talk) 23:39, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Thanks again. Oh, and do we still need a help with funding for digitizing the Yiddish encyclopedia, because I have a contact at some Yiddish foundation that can help with the funding. volt4ire 02:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:29, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
