Are you some kind of bot, Inks? Your edit summary is always "(clean up using AWB)"

It's kind of freaky to see him editing pages of local interest.

AWB is a maintenance software, If I remember well.

I'm a member of WikiProject Canada.  I've been going through clean up of Canadian roads, geography, and political articles.  I do run a bot though, WxBot, but that's dedicated to link/template replacement of WikiProject Meteorology and its descendant projects.

I know, but I had hoped this would turn into a Wikipedia discussion.

It's kind of weird that you're a member of Wikiproject Canada.

I've always liked Canada.  Plus, it's fun to vacation there.  I ran across ilikeverin on Wikipedia, and one of the admins who's part of WikiProject Tropical cyclones joined the forum a month or so ago.

I'd rather Inks edit and censor on a wiki site than here.  FF

At least edits there can be reverted.  Here, once a post is deleted or modified it's gone for good.

Inks, are you an admin? If not, I can say that on Wikipedia, the tables are turned Cheesy

We have, or at least used to have, several other Atlasians who were frequent Wikipedia editors, no? IIRC Verily and Emsworth were.

Assuming Emsworth was Lord Emsworth, he was even an admin there, tho he apparently went cold turkey at the end of 2006.

Of course, he might have done as I did.  I was a fairly frequent editor (close to 50K edits, many minor tho) when I got fed up with the Wikidiocy of some of their policies and just quit.  I still did occasional IP edits there, mainly fixing typos I came across, but then I got hit by a block on IP range because of vandalism some other idiot(s) were doing, so I got another account [the issue that cause me to quit my first account had not been resolved] and resumed editing at a much more sedate pace.  I was logging over a thousand edits a month (and could probably have gone for admin if I'd been interested as I was approached a few times) on the old account.  In he past four years on my new one, I've done a little over a thousand edits total and stay as far away as practical from all pages in the Wikipedia namespace.

I am happy to announce that I have reverted one of Inks' edits. He changed the spelling of "humourous" (Canadian spelling) to "humorous" (American spelling) on the Quebec page.

Time to fix your script.

Keep it up and you'll get blocked by me ;-)

I PMed Earl, and then he went offline, so I'll ask this here.  I thought the same thing he did, but then I looked up "humourous" and the dictionary listed it as a non-standard alternative, so I figured changing it was within policy.  Does anybody know if "humourous" is used in Canada or Britain? or is "humorous" used?

I was wrong Sad

While I found both spellings in Hansard documents, the official spelling is humorous: http://www.hansard.ca/styleguide.pdf

Please leave Inks alone.  His modifications on wiki keep him from modifying things here.  K? Thx.

I've been off mod duty for what... almost three months now, and you're still talking about it?  I'm beginning to think this is reverse psychology and that you want me back.  If you miss me, it's OK to admit it.  I love you too, Gramps! Smiley
