Rollback feature

Dear Chris G, thanks for helping me to install Twinkle. I want the Rollback feature. What should I do to get it? And will it help me to fight vandalism better? Have a nice day! :-) AdjustShift (talk) 17:53, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

You should now be able to use rollback --Chris 10:48, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Have a nice day. AdjustShift (talk) 13:55, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello

Can you please tell us what SQL stated in the email you linked to on his page. As bibliomaniac stated, not all of us can see that obviously. I would appreciate if you could "summarise" what he said. Thanks 211.30.109.24 (talk) 12:26, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

He's apparently back. 211.30.109.24 (talk) 12:00, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

		Chris G/Archives/2008, I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent Request for Adminship, which passed with 112 supports, 4 opposes and 5 neutrals. A special mention goes out to Stwalkerster and Pedro for nominating me, thanks a lot for having trust in me! In response to the neutrals, I will try to double check articles that have been tagged for speedy deletion before I CSD them and will start off slowly with the drama boards of ANI and AN to ensure that I get used to them. In response to the oppose !votes on my RfA, I will check that any images I use meet the non-free content criteria and will attempt to handle any disputes or queries as well as I can. If you need my help at all, feel free to simply ask at my talk page and I'll see if I can help. Once again, thank you for your participation, and have a great day! :) The Helpful One 22:14, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Chris,

Chris G Bot request 4 expired. Would you mind renewing it? I tried, without the changes we agreed to not do, but it was deleted.[1]

Thanks, kwami (talk) 19:10, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about all of the delays etc with the bot request, I thought I had time to work on it but some stuff came up. Can you give me the exact details of what you want the bot to do for the text/link changes including before/after style examples. I should have some time to work on it this weekend --Chris 09:02, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

You mean you have something better to do with your life than cater to my petty demands?

The link above[2] should summarize the format of the target addresses.

For the text, here's an example of a number list,[3] and here's an early name list.[4] Later name lists have an additional change.[5] You said before you didn't want to change the links, but to let the redirects handle them. Changing the categories would be nice to have but not essential. I leave it to you whether to move only the 'thousands' and '500s' articles, or also the 'hundreds' articles that are transcluded into them. I suppose the later wouldn't make any difference.

Thanks again, kwami (talk) 11:37, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
