GFDL
I've undone this edit to madam bot's exclude list. Sites now need to be licensed under CC-BY-SA (and optionally GFDL as well) and GFDL by itself is no longer enough. See Wikipedia:Licensing update#Content restrictions - I'm sure this has been documented somewhere better but as per usual tying to find it is difficult (Wikipedia's help/information system is atrocious and must be a nightmare for new users but that's a discussion for another day).
RE Igloo
Hey,
Out of curiosity, which part of the privacy policy did I violate? And yes, I can move the script over to the Wikipedia namespace, something I was planning to do eventually, but never got around to doing. --Kangaroopowah 20:15, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
- bump. I can't find anything in the privacy policy that says this. --Kangaroopowah 21:28, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
- @Kangaroopower: Hi, sorry I missed your original message somehow. By loading external resources from github, it enables github to track users who are visiting Wikipedia, and get information like referer headers and their IP addresses. This is mainly important because there is no warning to a user that "By using this script, your information will be sent to a third-party site that may track you.". Overall, it's just easier to just serve the scripts from a wikipage or tool labs if absolutely necessary. Legoktm (talk) 22:30, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
- Ah, makes sense. Personally, I'd rather host it on labs, because I'm planning to add a backend to Igloo anyways. How would I go about doing this? --Kangaroopowah 03:47, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
- wikitech:Nova Resource:Tools/Help is a good guide. Legoktm (talk) 23:18, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Vandalism (again) at CS Universitatea Craiova (football)
Hello!
You semi-protected yesterday CS Universitatea Craiova (football), but the editor is now back, using a registered account this time (Roby Iliescu). He deleted information from the History section, the Kit manufacturer info, the Ownership and finances section etc.
It seems that he used to edit the encyclopedia as WP:LOGGEDOUT for the extremely "dirty work" like removing clearly legitimate stuff (the infobox, uncontroversial categories, the squad of the team) or adding "funny text" ("People coming to the game and pretend to keep this team receives social assistance free." / "nickname = The Clone" / "Mircea Sandu fucks the mayor of Craiova Lia Olguța Vasilescu and give to her 2 millions of euros."): [40] [41]
While logged out he also disruptively removed CS Universitatea Craiova (football) from the list participating at 2014–15 Liga I: [42]
Can you please restore the stable version and sanction the editor?
Also, maybe you can take a look at Talk:CS_Universitatea_Craiova_(football)#Edit_requested_-_year_of_foundation 79.117.201.70 (talk) 14:01, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
