I've reported it to Gmail at:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/request.py
If everyone having this problem reports it to Google, that would be
good and give them more reports to work with.
Paste in the message as received, then paste in the original message
as sent, which you can get by clicking on the down-arrow next to
"Reply" and going to "Show original."

How hard could that be? Create a field in the log in page saying ''I
ussually contribute to project x'', preferably this could be done
semi-automatically via referrer headers or wikipedia linking with a
url like http://common.wikimedia.org/wiki/special:userlogin?from=en.wikipedia
. The thing gets automatically filled out, and the user can change it
if he wants. Then when he creates an account, his user page has a
template on it automatically that says, "so and so is usually at foo,
leave a message both here and there". Then if orphanbot [or whatever
you call your bots that send messages] comes a long, sees it, and
leaves a message at both commons and the local wiki.

I, for one wikisoul, use Commons quite often and mainly for
historical and botanical photographs, as well as the usual category
and article organizational thing. Many people I mention Wikipedia to
assume the photographs come from pedia and don't know media or
Commons actually exists. I think it's great and I tell everyone I
know about it all the time User WayneRay
How cool :D
Tim: Did you also contact him? Because I tried but have not yet
received any response.

Hi!
We have problem in Belarusian Wikipedia: bot creates articles copied
from copyrighted source. Bot operates from open proxy and we can't
block proxy itself due configuration issue.
As for now we need to delete already created articles. Any help with
deletion automation are appreciated.
Thank you,
Eugene.
Hello,
It is the second time in two weeks I have to restore a deleted image that
appears on the [[Wikimedia logo mosaic]]:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&us…http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&us…
It may be because of our brand new CommonsDelinker (great tool btw), some
admins may feel they can delete images without checking the usage of all
photos. This is not the case. Please always checkusage before deleting. If
you are about to delete an image appearing in the mosaic, find another one
to replace it *before* deleting the bad one.
And please, do not turn this thread into an endless argument about « why
haven't all these images been verified before », I am sure they have been.
