New User Page

Mark,

I placed the issues it was too late to get into here -- User:Dclacroix/UserIssues

Feel free to comment or add.

VivaNet

Thank you, I'm just messing around with this stuff. I wanted to see if it would allow me to even add links to those larger sites.

I'll stick to those sites which are actually related to VivaNet. Thank you!

Watch

Keep your eyes on the ContactUs page, especially "# 67 The Real Owner (Aflpa.com) AFLPA". One of them changed your reply to make it seem as if you were taking sides. Drew

Hello Mark

Thank you for your message.

I am not Christopher. The owner of www.christophernorris.co.uk had permission to use this IP address to create his www.aboutus.org page. From this it can neither be inferred that I am Christopher, nor that this IP address is Christopher's. I think you ought to have been a bit more careful.

I happened to assist the owner in establishing this page, which was implemented less than 24 hours ago, as you can well see. We are by far not done with its overall appearance. Whilst appreciating your having taken it upon yourself to watch out for certain criteria or standards, what you suggest - forgive me - is optically far off the mark in terms of the contents and nature of the website that is portrayed.

You managed to shoot forward twice in just one short message. Please do give a man a chance.

Sincerely

Adminbka

Hello Mark

Did you send this message right now?:

"I stand corrected, thanks for your critique. This is a wiki and reverting is extremely easy, are you familar with wiki? Best, MarkDilley"

If so, thank you - and thank you for your understanding. No hard feeling here. I assure you.

Yes, I know my way about this and other Wiki sites, tho', probably not as efficient yet as you are. Like I said: give a man a chance [grin].

Best

Adminbka

I truly appreciate your response. Thanks. Well, let us learn by fiddling around first. Should we get stuck, we'll turn to you. - A.

copyrights

Mark, Here's the problem with certain copyrights and what some of the sysops don't want to undersatand... i'll start with an example... Lets say your an artist with a recording label.. you have a new song, and you allow a company to use it in an advertising campaign.. so the ad, with the song shows up on various websites.. the song, nor the ad become property of those websites, andanyone who copies it without permission of the owner, is now liable for the damages... Now on aboutus.org, there's a copyright remplate for iamges.. but who see's it? peopel go to a page containing the image, all they see is the image. And when the actual site owner provides content for the page pertaining to their site, they are doing so themselves, for display on aboutus, for promotional and information reasons. I created a template ffor this type of copyright, which was a disclaimer of the information provided by the owner for aboutus.org only, and any redistrubution or copies are not allowed for use anywhere else.. and other sysop's dont agree with it, and insist on removing it. Not only is that template a warning to potential theives and hordes, but it protects aboutus be not holding them resp-onsable if content from that page is taken by a 3rd party without proper permission. Now with my sites, I can't have them on here as I did without that type of disclaimer on them.. some of the images, and content I have permission to use, but other sdo not, I can plae it where I want to, but no one can legally copy it and use it as their own on other sites. This is something you will find with most multimedia, and entertainment websites, as well as some companies that do a great deal to protect what they have (hence, all the engativity about how aboutus 'steals' information illegally, which isn't true, about us uses publically accessable information, and only takes a section of a front page as a quote, which is fair usage).. The big problem lies in the knowledge, or misknowldedge that there is about copyrights among sysops, recent partollers, etc.. (and yes, it's a tough one since it does vaary by locality, and constanty changes so no one can fully keep up with it all).. an dof course, the never ending problem of anyone being able to edit pages.. which may never truly be resolved in a wiki format. You can take my word on multimedia and etnertainment sites not holding back on this. I've been with them for 20 years, and have seen things less than this turn into major court battles. The main thing that needs to be worked out is simple.. ther eneeds to be an easy to find tempalte available for use on pages, such as the one I created that was removed several times.. which keeps aboutus out of the middle of any copyright disputes, and holds whoever may take the information liable by the owner themselves. You all also have to realize.. only a small percentage of people have even heard of wiki's, never mind know how to use them, find them, even with as much news on aboutus that has been generated, it's stilla very small eprcentage of webmasters that even know aboutus exist. In any post I make concerning aboutus, I do stress how the bot does nothing illegal, it's more of wiki problems itself, and that is totally true, and edittors, especailly those with sysop status, do need to be aware of legalities that can and will arrise. My only suggestion would be to have registered and logged in users able to edit pages, and tweak the bot a bit to exlude whois and some alexa information to aovoid those wh go ape about 'stealing my personal information' (again, they jsut dont get it when it comes to that). Perhaps have a new user menu on the left with nothing but a faq on how to add templates, what is available for your page, etc.. so it's easy to find for the completely wiki illiterate.. that's really the biggest problem, wiki isn't all that popular, and isn't liked by most due to it's 'open editting', and aboutus is new in itself, and a format many have come to ahte due to other sites that have been around that horde and 'scrape' from various sites.

again, my main problem is, adding content to pages about my sites (and I know others will say the same), need a copyrighted content template shown, to keep aboutus safe and not liable, and warn off potential theives.. it's really no differant than placcing a watermark n an image or media file stating 'free for personal use, do not redistribute'. I can't make it any simpler than that. One of my largest affiliates, RCA (SonyBMG) would be one of the first and msot costly to hold a grudge about this sort of thing (luckily, I don't think they are very aware of aboutus.org yet, and I'm not going to tip them off, Ray does have a good idea, it just needs alot of cleaning up, and 'staff' to be brought up to speed on legal issues, which again, can be tricky and vary a bit between localities,, for example, it's actually to legal to bootleg music in parts of europe and canada.. but in the US, it's only legal to download, it's illegal to redistribute in any manner.. when a canadian comes to my site, which is us based, they think it's all legal, I have disclaimers everywhere about that exact topic, stating 'this is a us based website'.. making it clear we follow us laws)

I'll be around a bit more later this week.. work is getting the better of me right now, I got ray's voicemail, and jsut wanted to send this to ya's as an explination of the problem.. again, I'm not pissed t you guys or aboutus, or even certain sysops, I've jsut been in the music, tv, and movie biz for a long time and have dealt with these issues on an almost daily basis. Ray making statements on blogs are great, but there needs to be something for everyone to see right away on aboutus to show he's working on the situations, and a link to a page with various copyright, fair usage, and disclaimer information.. trust me, you'll all be glad you have that when you do (and you kind of do already, it jstu needs to be more visable, as does how to use a robot.txt to block the bot until all the robot tutorials start including the aboutusbot.

p.s. Ray should usderstand this exact problem.. what if you all went to say google, and put a full page for aboutus, using specific content from the site liek the logo, and someone decided to take it and create a simular site to aboutus using all he put on that page? wouldn't be right would it? google wouldn't be at fault, but there was no copyright disclaimer on the page, so they used it all as 'fair usage'.. that is going to happen alot from aboutus pages.. I can't stress enough that the template is needed for just such purposes Alan 16:21, 5 February 2007 (PST)

Compassion Club

Mark, I use marijuana for medical purposes and would like to know how I can join the compassion club so I can grow legally. I have all medical records and proof of my condition and marijuana is the only thing that stops my nausea. Where do I begin. Please e-mail me at Thank-you.

sent email

Wikipedia.com etc.

The links to WikiNode and TourBusStop are part of a template that I use when I set up a new user page on a Mediawiki-based wiki. I do it just to see how 'old school' the wiki's administrators are. My personal opinion is that they may have been something worthwhile when there were only two or three dozen wikis, but these days they are pretty useless.

Some of the editors at en.wikipedia.org are going through their interwiki map, and it's pretty amazing the number of the prefix shortcuts in their interwiki map that are 404, moribund wikis, or spam-filled wikis. I have a feeling that most WikiNodes and TourBusStops are just about as useless, with many of the links pointing to problematic websites.

What's the status of WikiIndex, seeing as how most of the people behind that Wiki are involved in AboutUs?

Also: In my rummaging around the website earlier, I didn't see any guidance about categories, or any explanation about how your bot automatically creates categories. Did I miss the page, or is that still on the todo list? BlankVerse 02:11, 9 February 2007 (PST)

Lunch

Marky Mark, what are you up to tomorrow. Do you want to meet for lunch? ScottKeeler

.Ca Domain

Hmm, .Ca domains seem to validate fine now. Maybe it was just a DNS, or something, issue at the time?

We are in beta and sometimes things break around here.  :-) Glad this is working for you now!

Malware Sites

Mark, we need to discuss what to do about sites that attempt to place malware on user machines. I encountered one in RC today. The listing is safe, of course, but when someone clicks through, the site attempts to drop a virus onto the machine. Drew

Yes, this has happened to me once or twice before, but in the edits someone made.... Malware

Not vandalism

User talk:209.53.237.172 From AboutUs - Hello and welcome to AboutUs. Contrary to your first impulse, we don't work for this person. We do want our website to be a professional endeavor and we are not against there being criticism against a person or site, but it needs to be constructive and not vandalism. Let me know if you have questions. Best, MarkDilley

Hello, Mark...

Thanks for the words about who's who, but

Here's the facts: 1) Michael Love does owe several hundred dollars to a friend of mine he hired to play for a 10,000-seat gig. 2) No one has yet uttered (we - some of Mr. Oxenvad's friends - would rather play honourable hardball than let than Mr. Love remain anonymously dishonourable within his chosen industry, and I'm personally confident hat no one *will* utter) any lies in making our point. 3) When Mr. Love honourably acquits himself of his debt to Mr. Oxenvad, the issue will be considered settled by all parties, and there will be nothing left over which you need bother.

Questions? Yep, I do have two:

- As long as they remain within the realm of facts and honesty, what particular objections do you have to disputes being aired here?

- would you be averse to this reply ending up in the "review" section of Mr. Love's page?

Adding link to your page

Hi Mark,

We had the following communication last week:

Adding link to Website Hi there,

I'd like to know how (and if) we can have our company website added to the various categories you have listed on http://www.aboutus.org/BilingualJobBoard.com.

For example, we'd like our website to be included on your Bilingual Jobs Toronto, French Jobs Toronto, and Bilingual Jobs links.

Thank you in advance,

Caryn Office Coordinator Bilingual Source/Source Bilingue Hi Caryn, that is easy, check out AddCategory or contact me. Best, MarkDilley

I clicked on your "AddCategory" link above, but still couldn't see how to add a link to any of your pages.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!

Caryn

Restricted edit for DRVSRS.

Is it possible to restrict the "edit" of this article "DRVSRS>COM" and "Image:DR.VSRS.jpg" to only "Aboutus" and "drvsrs" ? With Regards "drvsrs@drvsrs.com"

Hi there, You've left a couple of messages on my talk page, it's nice to meet you. I do have some questions. I'm very new to wiki...I've always been hard core ODP. I'd love some help, and if you have a project for me to work on I'd be happy to help. Right now I'm stumbling around trying to get used to the software.

The most pressing question I have is what do we do about articles that need to be deleted? Sites come and go and it's quite frustrating to come across an article like http://www.aboutus.org/HomeDecorDirectory.com (for example) and there's nothing I can do to correct it. I'd hate to see link rot become a problem and it drives me nuts to leave these pages up that lead to dead sites.

Thanks for the welcome, Annie :)

ps. sorry if I'm contacting you in the wrong way, I really am a wiki n00b.

Thanks for your help. I was really surprised the page was edited so quickly. James - Hayling Hardwoods

Adding link to page

Hi Mark,

Perhaps it would be easier if we spoke on the phone...? I'm sorry, I'm lost. I have no idea how to get our website linked to the various categories on this site.

Caryn

re: the adult issue

If we set aside the bot issue for a moment and just look at the manual process (maybe after the bot is finished, for fix errors in either direction), this seems to work: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Import - it says that any user can "export" and only admins can "import." In this case, I would think we want to share the user and admin lists, but maybe that's not possible using mediawiki? TedErnst 13:46, 15 February 2007 (PST)

Hi

I'm new to this User Talk thingy... so hope I am getting this right.

Thanks for adding the Wikilinks. I haven't yet gotten down to making that page.

I'll start working on these over the next week to make a more complete User: page.

Ajay

Thanks...

Btw, I need to add thinks to User:Ajay right?

Thanks Mark!

Hey Mark, thanks for the props, and I hope to continue to do some good stuff here. It's an interesting concept. :) Leif Hearne | talk

Suggested Edits to Halo2Leagues.com

Thanks for the suggestions, I never had links to other site/wiki pages in the template after the page on Wikipedia got deleted (Admins called it "corporate vanity"). TheChrisD™ - Halo2Leagues.com Head Organiser 02:09, 22 February 2007 (PST)

wordpress.com

Hi Mark

how do I add sub domain to say the WordPress.com page ? the docs are very unclear

eg

HauntingThunder.wordpress.com

Mark, I came across this on RC, and put in the AddSubdomain instructions. I'll leave him a note on his page as well. Drew

Sorry about getting nasty

My sincerest appoligies if i got a little nasty about my site being duplicated. ToddLoewen.com is kinda of a pet project I have been working on for about a year. I would like to have your site show Certain pages from my site. How can I specify what pages to hit? Also, I use wordpress and want to add your badge to the About Page on my site. Problem is WordPress doesnt like javascript too much.

Todd, no worries, wiki is new, we are new and we aren't doing the best job expressing why we think AboutUs is/can be valuable. As far as the AboutUs:Bot is concerned. I don't know the specifics, but I do know it looks for "about us" content. I can go ahead and clear history on the page for you to start with whatever you wish to start with though. Thanks for talking about it! Best, MarkDilley

Hi

Thanks for the welcome :) I hope I am following protocols. I believe we are related to all sites we are linking to. Please send me a message if I am making a mess...DOH! Bobby B. 23:30, 23 February 2007 (PST)

Not exactly sure what a Travel Portal is (cuz I'm new to this whole thing), but I'd be willing to start one if it involves family travel or traveling with children, as our goal is to help traveling families :) Bobby B. 23:43, 23 February 2007 (PST)

Logo

I need a stylish logo, that conveys videogames, and fun.

And yes the new version is great. Thanks.

Thanks

hi, Mark, thanks for the comment. i wanted to correct a few things and add a few more. Trey

Thanks mark. I think this project is in its initial stage. There are group of Somalis from the region living in Europe, Canada and USA who will be working to launch this project. I know about since my parents are from there and since I know some members of this community. I will let you know if there are any developments and how things go, but now i think it is just the beginning of the project.

Thanks for your interest.

I like the touch up you made, I will make all the others ones that i make moving forward like that. thanks Mark! =) John

talk?

Mark, would love to talk with you about User talk:TedErnst#community when we can arrange it. I'm home from Uganda and ready to get working and want to spent some time talking with you about some stuff and also arrange to talk regularly, if that works for you. TedErnst 07:52, 1 March 2007 (PST)

sorry, didn't see your response - I replied there

FeatureMe

I realized after I did it that it's intended to be used for pages that are ready for a feature. I didn't realize that. I thought it was a request. What I mean is, by tagging it, maybe Tak or someone will flesh out the page and then it'll be featured. It's just me invoking the lazy web, I suppose. :-) TedErnst

repopulate

I have no idea how to make this work.. can you walk me through step by step?

I'd like the ability to do it myself. but HannaSofia.com

what do you think?

Ease of Use

Welcoming from last weekend

Hey Mark, just so you know I've gone through the RC and copied names of people who weren't welcomed over the weekend and added the red links to WelcomingPeople, so that list should be current (up to 6 p.m. Monday). -- Tak 18:00, 5 March 2007 (PST)

welcome

mark, hmm...I don't always get an edit summary when welcoming, why is that? Kasey

finally a contact

Cannot get contact info, to ask for help

page shows up with a thousand Domain names instead of contact info. I want some of my private info removed from your site, was shocked it was on a wiki, and registered to do so. I am having huge spam problems, this site might be contriubting to it.

In fact, your about us page shows up with the thousand domain names instead of abou us info, several others do too.

Your showing of private info might be why someone decided to hack you.

So what if other sites do it. Doesn't mean you should too without owners permission, unless you do mean harm. these spammers are email terrorists. get worse everyday. Any site that helps them are terrorists too.

there's your suggestion.

I am the owner of Reneodeay.com and am requesting you remove the page about me and my site and prevent your bots or users from putting anymore up on it.

05:16, 11 March 2007 (PDT)~~ Reneodeay

Mark, I think her page was spammed and has since been cleaned up - Ray

Spammer

Mark, I cleaned up the spammer referenced in the above message with some help from User:Mucbarney. I blocked the offending IP, but you might want to take a look at User:R1motorhead. He seems to be referencing the same site used in the spam attack. Drew

Also, take a look at this IP: 68.115.19.190. I think we'll have to rollback these as well as suspiciously related.

talk?

Mark,

Hope you're feeling better? I'd like to schedule a call with you and then plan on a 7-minute check-in at least 3 or 4 times per week, as long as I'm working on this Content/Community piece. I hope that works for you. When's a good time to get started? peace, TedErnst

stuff

Mark,

Ray and I have spoken about me assisting with some Aboutus things. I guess he was trying to set up Sysop status this weekend. I am happy to help anyway that I can, just let me know. We can talk about all sorts of stuff. Let me know what you need to set it up, or if you just need to give me the 5 cent tour and give me the list of rules regulations and expectations.

This is great, how much community involvement are you really getting outside of people editing their own sites?

Best, Gregory

NOt sure when i can talk yet.. weekends are best for me until :) .. But i will reach out. also you can see a version of my bio at User:Gregory

Thank You

Thanks very much for the interesting package, its really cool. --Simon | talk 11:53, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

website on aboutus.org

Hi, I came across one of my website listed with this wiki site and it has some strange contact information. How do I get access to this to change it? Thanks Shar

In reference to the post made by me:

I can be reached at admin@cybermilieu.com .

Thanks Shar

Cool, I thought I completely messed that up by posting it up on the wrong site. Thanks again Mark, I really appreciate it. Have a good one! =) best, John

skype and normal net-human-things

Mark,

Normally I am a fanatic skype/irc/yim/aim/msn guy. But I currently work at a large $3trillion dollar swiss bank. This allows for 2 things, access to almost every kind of information I would ever want to know about companies, and no access whatsoever to communications outside of telephone and email. (ie. no instant messaging )

I have been using IRC since 1990, before it was a web client, but alas, today I cannot. At least not from work. Any other ideas?

Alternatively we can do it later tonight or tomorrow night. I am really upset that i can't get out there today.

Gregory

thank you

i really like the about us site. I feel that I'll be able to grow with it and likewise.

Thanks.

Looks pretty strait forward. I see that someone is finally using the keyword metatag! I will have to go back and double check my keywords. Is there an easy way to update the keyword categories once I change my metadata on my web site? Thanks!

-- Captain Dave

Re: Meeting Tomorrow

Mark, I'll do my best to be around. Services for my father are at Noon, and I don't know what the rest of the day will be like. If it's possible, I will be around. Drew

I'll do my best, as I would like to be there. If not, I will review the notes and give my comments later, if that's appropriate. It's been a long week, and I'd like to wrap my mind around something different. Drew

Fair warning and hes not stoping...

After you give him a fair warning, hes still vandalizing stuff.

I know hes not going to stop till hes banned.

talk today?

Around 3:15 or 3:30 your time? Would love to report on my Saturday experiment with Habib. I'm not sure if I have internet (wiki) access during the day today (I asked my boss to take away my internet, actually) so may not get a return talk page message, but will be available by phone all day. peace, TedErnst

Ask Emilyss

Online Magazine/United Foundation For Patient Humanities, Inc.

Hello Mark. Last year as you know, I posted a declaration on the 'askemilyss.com' page protesting that it was a fraud. I had just been able to recover enough after I almost died in a fire which destroyed everything I owned including my non-profit orgination and its files. When I was able I went looking to find the whole fronteer of the internet had changed and my sites were gone from my control and ownership. I was still ill and overwhelmed and powerless so I went back to bed. I now am better and have researched what happened, want to say that the 'askemilyss.com' site and its parent site, 'UFPF.org' were both sold while I was hospitalized but the purchasers did nothing illegal and I have taken steps to deal with those who are responsible. AboutUs.org is not responsible.

I have registered 'Ask Emilyss Online Magazine' now as 'AskEmilyss.org', which it should be anyway since it is charity and not comerce and have regained ownership of UFPH. I am rebuilding now and will simply let those who are using 'askemilyss.com' to sell their products know that I am back and it will be their decision to determine whether or not they wish to be viewed as companies who will use a well-know charity organization's name for thier own profit just because they can - even when the charity organization is operating and *giving* to those in need of its services as before. That is the kind of thing that gets me motivated... I remember one drug company one time who that stopped funding me because I refused to be a sales-rep-by-proxy for them in my sites.... Naturally my response was that they could keep their money and I then published an editorial about it. More to come. Liz Webb (pen name, Emilyss), Founder/Exec. Dir, United Foundation For Patient Humanities, Inc./Ask Emilyss Online Magazine, 1996

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the welcome. Not sure how to respond in the discussion so I am leaving one here? What did you change exactly... if my mind serves me right it seems that you added the site into some categories? That is fine with me.

All The Best, Zane

Thanks

Ahh I see :0) Yup that's fine

Regards,

Thanks for the welcome, Mark!

As you may know, Ted Ernst and I are exploring possibilities for using AboutUs as a "metadirectory." Actually, this would not be for ConnectorsNet, which is already in existence, but with limited functionality. Instead, we are collaborating towards a Network Weavers Network. More info over the weeks to come.

Could you send me your email address so that we can connect directly? A Skype call would also be great sometime if it works out. My email is habib -at- connectexpress.com

Thanks!

Hi MarkDilley

Hi Mark! I got your message. You're right, there are other links to the homepage, I guess I just wanted to make the link to homepage visible. Can I place link to other pages? If no, I really apologize.

Slides

Hey Marky, besides not being searchable here's another reason why using slides instead of text and graphics is a bad idea. I can't update the now out of date information on ProtectEmail, a page we send people to hundreds of times per day. Scott

suggest me

i have a problem that, i was made the blog by using wordpress and after now i have a login in wikki page of about us. but how can i edit the blog using about us .

Thank You

Thank you! I would love that (in the not so distant future). I have been meaning to try to get things caught up with setting descriptions and such but have not had a chance until now. So, since I have the house to myself tonight it looks like its a microwavable dinner and maintenance time. ;) De Danann 15:25, 21 March 2007 (PDT)

Hallo Mark,

gern könne wir ein wenig schrieben, um unsere Sprachkenntnisse zu verbessern. Ich habe zwar derzeit wenig Zeit, aber mal sehen was sich so machen läst. Deine aboutUs-UserPage kontte ich leider noch nicht vollständig lesen. Vielleicht kannst du dich mal in ein paar Sätzen beschreieben.

Bis bald

Hey there, I added some info to the page you started. I'm not sure how exactly the whois data contributes to the AboutUs page on a website... might need more there. Let me know if what I did is what you had in mind. Also, I wasn't sure how to "ping" you in the admin side... Anyway, let me know if you'd like me to do more work on the NSI page. Thanks! Julia

Pretty Cool, I will have to play more later! Take Care..!

Hi again markdilley!

I just want to clarify before doing anything wrong like I did last time... So it's okay to put links to the inner pages of the websites? I'll wait for your reply before doing anything like that again. Thanks so much! :)

Great photo Mark. Good job on setting up the network weaver pages. Look forward to playing around here with you and Ted, and Habbib and all...

Hi Mark!

Thanks for the welcome! Glad to be here, I love the wiki stuff. A template would be swell... thanks!

Great... nice template! I took your suggestion and changed my user and talk page. I have to look into what exactly being a NetworkWeaver is all about, thanks for the link!

del.icio.us / social bookmarks feed

Idea from our phone call, wasn't sure where to note it. Featured sites + otherwise noteworthy community portal updates bookmarked either by a special aboutus user (del.icio.us/aboutus) or just with some structured tagging (del.icio.us/tag/aboutuswiki (?))

If you use a software posting tool for del.icio.us such as Pukka, it is super easy to tag pages using multiple accounts.

Another Question

Will AboutUs ever cover subdomains (for example and.it.com) and subpages (for example and.com/it)? Wikiman232 08:08, 28 March 2007 (PDT)

Spammy

Here's another user posting their site logo and link on a bunch of different pages.

A problem.

I created a couple articles for subdomains, but the title links to www.test.wikipedia.org instead of just test.wikipedia.org. test.wikipedia.org is the page I want to create whereas www.test.wikipedia.org just leads to an error page. Wikiman232 11:23, 28 March 2007 (PDT)

Box

I tried adding backround-color="#FFFFFF" to the box. While previewing, I added some lines to see if they went through the box. They didn't. Maybe the blue "leave me a message" has high priority or something? So that it appears in front of other boxes? I tried clearing my cache, and I use Internet Explorer 7.
