I understand this page is still under construction but it already looks really helpful, not just for new users. Good job.

:You may want to consider whether the 'scripts' link should go to [[Wikipedia:Scripts]] or [[Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts]] (the link you have currently is mostly about IRC scripts; it's quite possible that it's user scripts that you meant). --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 13:28, 12 December 2006 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])
:: Done.
: I saw this page linked on the help desk. I've proofed it (a couple of spelling errors and a bit of punctuation) as requested. I understand it's not finished yet; please leave a note on my talk page if you'd like me to proof it again when you're done. It's very understandable, and looks as if it's going to be really helpful - good job! [[User:Squeezeweasel|Squeezeweasel]] 15:02, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
:: Thanks for the help. And yes, I will gladly take you up on your offer of further assistance!
Transhumanist, I don't mean to pile on, but I do have a suggestion. Could we perhaps get one of the image/copyright "guru's to submit something that's easy to understand in the virtual classroom? I'm afraid I don't really get it - lot's of images seem to be unacceptable, I can't figure out how to register and image at commons. Thanks for considering it,[[User:NinaEliza|NinaEliza]] 01:21, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
: Such a lesson would mostly point out the problems with the Image department(s) of Wikipedia. It would be better to go in and fix those problems directly than merely write about them. The template used to indicate copyright status of an image creates a lot of confusion, for instance.
:Might want to add [http://www.math.ucla.edu/~aoleg/wp/rfa/edit_summary.html Mathbot] to the edit counting section. Cheers [[User talk:Lethaniol|Lethaniol]] 17:32, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
::Thanks!
All around it is a pretty cool page. Is this intended to be moved to the Wikipedia: namespace? If that is the case there should be no recommendation to update ones monobook to the same as you have—though I do not doubt the integrity of those tools, and it seems like you keep this stuff in your subpages anyway. I also think it could use some more descriptive links, even if the link seems obvious. For example, under [[Wikipedia:Tools/Optimum tool set#Bots|Tools#Bots]], change the text "Types" to "Types of bots" (as the link suggests).
Line 23:
: Nope, it's not going to be moved to the Wikipedia namespace. But anyone can cut and paste and adapt it for use there if they want. The current version is a list of the tools I use, and serves as a menu as well (for when I'm really tired). I expanded the bot links, and a couple others. Thanks for the tip!
: Descriptions? Good idea. I'll add them in where the nature of the item is not obvious. And thanks for the encouragement!
== Suggested tool ==
Hi, I wonder whether [http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~ms609/Wiki/Scholar this tool] might be worth adding to your list? It adds a "Wikify" button to Google Scholar results to allow the easy {{tl|Citation}} formatting of references.

: Whoa. That's awesome! I'll add it to my tools page ''and'' my tools menu. Thank you!
== First person ==
If this page is in the Wikipedia namespace, why is it written in the first person? [[User:Libcub|Libcub]] ([[User talk:Libcub|talk]]) 05:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
: It was originally in user space. I donated the page to the Wikipedia namespace because I don't have the time to maintain it.
