Hum, just a comment...bug report...
The last 2 mails Maverick sent, had date set on the
24th of august 2001. Not 2002.
I checked on the mailing list, and there they were, in
2001.
Is it related to Mav or to Wikip�dia ?
-----
While I am at it, I tried a few days ago to remove
some articles from my watch list. And it aint working
properly.
When I select an article page (in bold), the fact I
watch for it is recognised, and I can stop watching it
When I select a talk page, it is indicated I don't
watch for it. hence I can't remove it for talk pages.
The articles stay in the watch list whatever I do.
This is true whatever the date of the last update (feb
2002, before july and after july)
Did anybody noticed that ? Is there something I missed
?

Do you just look for user names you haven't
seen
before or is there some
way to identify them? I'd be happy to do the
meet-and-greet but I don't
know how to do it.
Well - I guess I do it the hard way and scan each
edit in all Recent Changes
for a 24 hour period looking for edit link user
names (a dead give-a-away)
and for user names I don't remember seeing before.
This works for me since I
pretty good reading comprehension and memory.
What would be most useful is a listing of new users
that can be accessed from
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Listusers.
That way this job would be
much easier.
BTW we really /do not/ have 3498 real users -- a
good many of these "users"
logged in only to abuse our upload utility or for
other nefarious or
non-contributing reasons (I don't greet any user who
hasn't contributed at
all). Is there a way to get rid of many of these
no-longer used user accounts
Lee (just the ones that have been inactive for
months and whose user pages
are still edit links)?
