Adult Content

Isabel what are you doing ? --Jackjones 10:03, 24 September 2007 (PDT)

ive seen what he has said, but the sites still need to be tagged as adult. --Jackjones 10:27, 24 September 2007 (PDT) Never mind i will do it, but you must have looked at the domain names as you where doing it. --Jackjones 10:36, 24 September 2007 (PDT)

My websites in similar domain

Hey thanks for answering. ;) Ok for now these are all on the website I have so if you could rollback it would be nice. And for the future I'll remove some that are not as similar. Thanks. Mayaboy69 05:35, 24 September 2007 (PDT)

New Users

I got a question. I am seeing some new users with a template already on their user pages. Is this normal? --DannyG | ^talk 14:58, 11 September 2007 (PDT)

Today 8th Sept

Hi isabel Jack Jones, some of those sites that you have recently had a look at are a bit on the dodgy side, have left some comments for you to decide what you want to do with them next. If im out of line, just say so, i can take it. Jack.

Stop Reverting

The reason the information was taken out of Alexsdbzrpg.com is because it is not information about the site or about anything, it was discussion that took place on the wrong page. It was posted in the proper place on a discussion page and since is removed from the article itself - where it never belonged in the first place. As for the link to alexa, according to the "opt-out" policy, information which was gathered by a bot can be removed at the leisure of the site's owner. It is not up to you to include it. Thanks for your concerns. -[[Xander756]

Confused

Hi isabel Jack Jones agian, am confused, you or some one has removed the notes i put on those pages that you requested to have some input on. If you request some input, then why go back and delete it? Most if not all that i have looked at so far should be flagged as adult content, they nearly all contain trojans, or link to adult sites. If you leave them as they are then some one will get burnt.

Questionable Content Policy

That is good input. I added my comments as well --Master Baitor 17:09, 4 September 2007 (PDT)

libel

I think maybe I need a libel lesson. My understanding of libel laws are that you cannot accuse someone of a crime, as that review does. Maybe we need a meeting with Ray? Ted Ernst | talk

Lets talk about this then, what exactly does "fair_use" mean to you?
You seem to think it means you have the right to do whatever you want with our copyrighted content, content we have written and rightfully own the copyright to.

In fact you are stealing our content and using it to promote another person's website.

Is it a "fair_use" to use stolen content to promote this scraper? No it is not. If you choose to use our content under your "fair_use" rights please attribute it to the rightful source of that content and not to promote this scumbag.

Hi Isabel, as an effort to minimize the distinction between AboutUsStaff and ActiveMembers, we are replacing the AboutUsStaff/AboutUsEmployees/AboutUsStaffCity categories with AboutUsCity Category.

Re: May 16 I've seen that odd IP address as well, only on this site, one thing I do note, is that the traceroute from NTL to here takes a very odd turn through blueyonder, very close to that address.

Once your phone lines are working properly at your new office, please ask the company that publishes your local yellow pages to update your company's listing. You might also want to visit SuperPages.com, YellowPages.com and InfoUSA.com and ask them to update your address in their online directories, and call Dun & Bradstreet at 1-888-814-1435 or http://eupdate.dnb.com to give them your company's new address. This should only take a few minutes, and will reduce the number of phone calls to your old number and snail-mail to your old address. --Eohippus 18:22, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

• Similarly, please visit http://webapp.localeze.com/bizreg/add.aspx?SourceId=1 to add a listing for AboutUs to that database. And see http://advertising.yellowpages.com/contact_us/updatelisting for YellowPages.com And http://bcb.acxiom.com/start.pl as well. Localeze.com and Acxiom.com supply listings to some of the other directories. --Eohippus 07:54, 27 August 2007 (PDT)

WhoWeAre

Hi,

I would just like to tell you about the WhoWeAre consensus poll. This is a unique opportunity for all community members to discuss and decide what AboutUs is and more importantly what role we, the community, plays.

The discussion is still in its initial stages and there are a handful of people involved in this discussion. But it's not enough. Every one of us has a stake in this process. We all need to air our views. Our opinions will make a difference. We cannot and must not let a handful of people define us. We must speak out and contribute because we are being defined and I for one would like to have a say in how I am being defined.

Please contribute to this really important project. Without you it cannot successfully create a good definition of who we are. Tanwir Shah

July 29

AboutUsLogo

Hi Isabel, The AboutUsLogo ConsensusPoll has surpassed all it's GoThresholds and we will be turning on the DoneTimer as soon as all participants have been notified. This means that all participants now have the opportunity to check AboutUsLogo one more time, to make sure we haven't overlooked something. Please feel free to change the document and/or change your status, if need be. Best, Obed Suhail

Isabel, I was puzzled by your edits to a couple of categories I modified. Is there a set of guidelines I could consult in the future about what material categories should contain? (PS, this is the first time I've seen comment pages with the newest entries at the top.) -- Llywrch 10:32, 26 July 2007 (PDT)

So you folks aren't obsessed with needless rules -- or the need to ignore them? Good. As for irrelevant links in categories, I agree. I was planning on pruning some of them in Category:Linux, but didn't want to start working on that & find all of my work reverted for reasons I didn't understand. -- Llywrch 10:57, 26 July 2007 (PDT)

Also Isabel, I am curious why you made this deletion edit. Would be good to hear why, maybe in the summaries? Best, MarkDilley

It's because the "clear" function on uber patrol doesn't have a summary box...this item is in the works. Isabel

NZST - Aroha Tours wiki site name

Hiya Isabel. The arohatours.co.nz page looks good now, thanks. I was just wondering how anyone was going try to pronounce arohatours. Of course I live in New Zealand, so I know how but I was laughing at all the possibilities.Di

This is a pretty good thunderstorm, no? - Scott Keeler

2,700 lightning strikes

Ok I changed the templates and used the tag i forgot about discussing with Mark, "Inappropriate Content" That works a little better. Pro-pedophile sites MAY be legal (I am still waiting to hear back from the FBI) but they are adult and inappropriate tagged now. thanks. User:Misha

Hi Isabel,

I am not so good at replying to the "My talk" thing so forgive me if I did it wrong. I was thinking about that too. I only tagged it with adult content because i thought you were going to eventually add a block to those tagged as such. But i suppose you could do that with the "Illegal content" category. I will only do "Adult content" on the pureply adult sites and ones that are not clearly illegal (i.e. pro-pedophile websites such as ChildLover.org, that way maybe they can be sectioned off and kept away from children. I will update the templates to reflect that! Sometimes i do come across sites that are clearly adults. In that case I just tag them "Adult Content" and delete out anything that is exploitative to children like "kiddie pix" in the categories or links to child porn or pedo sites. Let me know if you have any other concerns. Thanks! User:Misha

Hi Isabel, I've done a little work on the Aroha Tours page so I'm hoping the owner will come back and add/edit it and make it look great so it can be Featured. New Zealand is an interesting country to visit so that page should really encourage people to come. I was a little concerned at your correction of the page name. What you did was correct but I'd changed it from ArOhAtOuRs or something like that to ArohaTours giving capitalisation to the first letters of the words. Written as one word arohatours gives no clues to how to say the word, Aroha, (Arh-Oh-Har). So I've now given the page a Title instead of the word "Description". I hope that's ok --Di 02:29, 12 July 2007 (PDT)

Crusading user

Hi, I'm new to AboutUs so I'm not sure where to start. But recently, User:Misha has been adding both review material ("disturbing content") and intentional lies ("illegal, may have pictures") to descriptions of support forums for people attracted to children. She is a member of Perverted-Justice.com, so I assume she already knows that the police in the countries hosting these websites have said that they can't do anything about them because they're legal. I have reverted her changes. Multipronged 10:45, 7 July 2007 (PDT)

I am going to be talking to User:Misha soon. My interest is helping them find their voice in a constructive way that will work in this community. I would also be interested in talking to you regarding the same issue if you were so inclined. ~~ MarkDilley

Criteria for creation of new categories

When I see a category with many members but which has not been created yet, such as Category:Wallpapers or Category:Desktop Wallpaper, should I go ahead and create it? The category Category:Wallpaper does exist, and the least confusing solution would be to have a bot edit all the Category:Wallpapers or Category:Desktop Wallpaper entries to change the category to Category:Wallpaper --Eohippus 19:09, 3 July 2007 (PDT)

Nice to meet you!

Hello Isabel,

Thanks for making those changes to ITPassZone.com, I inadvertently placed my comments in the wrong area of many pages, I'm working on correcting those mistakes and have since started placing them under the corrent heading.

I've enjoyed the work that AboutUs.org has done, as well as the information they have provided. MarkDilley has been an awesome help to me CertGuard, my company CertGuard, Inc., and my Portal.

Problem with wiki

Hello Isabel,

Can you help me? I'm registered here as a user but after I log in, the website runs very slowly and each page loads 3-5 minutes (sic!). Note that when I'm loged OUT, the website loads very quickly (1-2 seconds; NOT: minutes).

Moreover, I can't move pages even after logging - after few(!) minutes the pages "moving page" just reloads. I have been trying to move pages ("fixname") from the beginning of June but the problem still exists.

So:

• Why the website loads so slowly ONLY after logging in?
• Why may I not move any page?

Storyteller's Bazaar

Hello Isabel,

Have you paid a visit to TheStorytellersBazaar yet? If not, please do. It's jam packed with all sorts of writing activities. Read some of the contributions and hopefully they will inspire you to contribute too. The more you contribute the better the site will become. Come and have a look and enjoy. Tanwir Shah

Removing Categories

Hi Isabel, and thanks for informing me about the mass removal of adult categories through bot. That's really great! Will the thumbnails and related domains also be removed during the process? Asad Butt

June 20

Removing Thumbnails

Hi Isabel,

As long as you removed the thumbnail message using a local anesthetic I don't mind at all. :)

You're absolutely right, noting it once is enough. Thanks for your help Tanwir Shah

June 16

Just to respond to the edit at http://www.aboutus.org/index.php?title=Category%3AMarin_County&diff=7196584&oldid=7180432 , the "main article" phrase is something that I encountered at Wikipedia. In this case, I thought that it might be appropriate to give some prominence to the website for the County of Marin in the Category:Marin County category and in general to do so whenever there is a "main article" for a geographic category. In the same way, you might list Canada.gc.ca as the main article for Category:Canada. --Eohippus 22:29, 15 June 2007 (PDT)

Isabel, wondering if we can utilize your German expertise for a few minutes. SimilanGuide.com and English version are basically the same back in English and German (duh!). I'm wondering if you can quickly translate the box at the top of each page that says, "This page is available in two versions: German and English" so that both boxes have both languages.

Thanks,

Tak

Stakeholders Meeting

As employees, what role will we play in this meeting? My understanding of stakeholder is someone who has a monetary interest in the company, for example someone who holds shares in the company. No one in Lahore fits into this category. If we are to be part of this meeting then this definition does not hold. Do you have an agenda? Tanwir Shah

Isable, Tim made a great change to the UniversalWikiEditButton page. I wanted to learn a little about him and his weblog is in German, mind taking a look? MarkDilley

June 8

Isabel,

Yes thanks it makes sense and thank you for clarifying. Tanwir Shah ps I like your dog Sammie

Articles that are not domain pages

Hi Isabel,

I notice you have deleted Pakistan as it isn't a domain page. Lahore is also not a domain page but it has had quite a bit of work done on it. TheStorytellersBazaar is in a similar position. Does this mean that all these sites will be deleted. If so I have wasted the last four weeks developing TheStorytellersBazaar.

I would be be grateful if you could clarify the AboutUs position on articles that are not domain pages.

Perhaps I should clarify my understanding of a domain page. It is a page that describes and links to a website. Is that right? Tanwir Shah

Restored Pakistan and started a discussion there. ~~ MarkDilley

My apologies to you Isabel, you left a great response on his talk page, just not in the summary :-) Sorry, MarkDilley

Small fonts

Isabel: I intentionally made the link fonts small to differentiate them from the other text. Will this cause any kind of problems. Tanwir Shah

Could you I ask you to please pop an explanation on my talk page when you revert me so that I can understand the reasoning? Thanks! Nathan ^(talk) / 00:34, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

IP Banning - hmmm...

Hi. Found AboutUs.org to be a very useful service, but became frustrated when I found I was banned. It would appear that your IP detection is only picking up on the transparent proxy, not my true IP but.. Doubly frustrating when it also means one cannot create an account, or leave a message!

I'm fortunate enough to have two ISP's and therefore leave this comment. The banned IP address is:62.30.249.131 and running NSLOOKUP reveals:

Name: pc-62-30-249-131-ha.blueyonder.co.uk Address: 62.30.249.131

OK, that doesn't look like a proxy...so has your IP detection tripped over it's shoelaces?

Our usual (real non-proxied) IP address is an 86.14.zzz.zzz..

I understand the need for banning, but if it bans the wrong person..ouch!

Thanks

Isabel, thank you for your welcome message. --Boris 13:50, 17 May 2007 (PDT)

Community Reviews

I was wondering if you would be opposed to a page covering community reviews formatting (something like CommunityReviewsFormatting) of if one already existed...? I think it would be helpful at least for me to have a standard page that I could send people to who are doing reviews "wrong." If yes, I would create what I know and probably ask you for some help/to look over my shoulder on it since you deal with it a lot. Thanks~

KristinaWeis | **talk**

p.s. And I should be back in the office Friday as I'm getting over my bout with the "black death" and midterms will be done then.

AdBux.org

Isabel, why was this site's description reverted? This is a proven scam website. If it is going to be listed on here, users should be warned so that they don't fall for it. Putting up the site's own description of itself instead of outside proof of Chad French's fraud and scamming isn't helping. Would it be possible to put the truth back, please? Thank you.

I placed it back in the CommunityReveiw section of Adbux.org. MarkDilley

Hello, Isabel. Yes, I own all of the eNetwizard domains, except for .com. I need your help, if possible. I came across AboutUs from a whois at Network Solutions and discovered that my trademark here was being displayed in improper case. I've corrected it, but before I realized you could move pages (in essence, renaming them), I created a new one for eNetwizard.be. I need this to be the main page, instead of eNetWizard.be. Can you help me get rid of the second page? And the page I called DeleteThis? Sorry for the mistake.  :-)

Hi Isabell,

Yes I am the owner of cdnfleamarket.com, cdnshoppingmall.com, cdndirectory.com and cdnmarketsquare.com. I found aboutus.org while searching for information on a link in one of my logs. I was surprised to see incorrect contact phone number and address for the domains. I have made the appropriate changes.

I love the information I have found here. This is very interesting.

Also, the Pacific Northwest is gorgeous. I am in the East Kootenays and love to look out at the mountains.

Hi, Isabel.

Thanks for dropping me a line. Yes, I am the owner of MMH4X and all the websites in it's network. No, I do not own ffxiapp.com, but I do know it's owner personally. MMH4X is a gaming community that at one time was based on hacking Final Fantasy Online, but due to recent changes in Square Enix's business practices (they have finally started removing Real Money Traders (RMT)) we have taken a back seat and now cater to any gamer looking for a place to come and join other gamers. Stop by the site some time and check us out. We offer quite a bit and are at the moment launching an Internet Radio Station.

I hope to hear back from you soon and maybe see you around the site.

Just to note, treat any page that refers to NYC limo with a bit of care. We've had a bit of an edit war here, so in this case we don't assume a delete is an opt out.
