Turkish Wikimedia chapter wiki

I should probably email Vito Genovese about this matter too, though he's been inactive since September of 2013 but I wanted to ask you whether or not you plan on participating any longer in the chapter wiki or that we should leave it up to the stewards to handle requests. Basically, in this edit a fellow steward told me to leave it up to the heads of the chapter wiki, but I do not know exactly who the founder is and whether he/she has the time to manage and take care of the wiki, so instead I have to write to the system-operators of that wiki. Oh by the way, that comment in the thread was regarding this userpage which appeared to be spam, though again I leave it up to your judgments. TeleComNasSprVen (talkcontribs) 17:09, 30 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

I deleted that specific page as it was spam (self promotion; potential BLP-vio), I have been quite busy with real-world affairs (mainly my thesis which seems to drag on). Thank you for notifying me though. The wiki and the progress of the chapter isn't ideal but I think both needs time. That said we may wish for an "approval" type registration for the wiki assuming the community approves or perhaps that may be counter productive. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 08:50, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
@とある白い猫: Sorry for bothering you again, but I think some more spam reappeared on the wiki after that last deletion. Since you seem really busy, do you think you could transfer sysop controls over to me/trwiki admin/global sysop/anyone else that you may trust, so that we can maintain the spam while you're gone? TeleComNasSprVen (talkcontribs) 23:17, 1 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
I am right here, I will monitor the site closer as I am done with my work as of 28 February 2014. That said, I do not mind any help but it is not like the site is seeing an overwhelming attack at the moment. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 00:38, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Slave to the Rhythm

I don't think you understood my deletion request of Slave to the Rhythm (Michael Jackson song). An article exists for the song at Slave to the Rhythm (Michael Jackson Song), but per Wikipedia naming conventions, it should be at the title that is currently a redirect. Since I am unable to perform this move myself, I requested the deletion of the redirect so the article with "Song" can be moved to the same name but with "song". I can't just simply cut-and-paste because the history of the article that does exist should remain intact. This should be an uncontroversial move. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 23:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Oh, that is fine then. It seems like an IP also removed the notice. I will get an admin to merge histories and make the modifications you have suggested for you. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 13:04, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
History merge has been completed. Is everything alright now? In the future you may want to seek a history merge instead of a speedy delete notice for such article renaming requiring admin involvement. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 14:56, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:International Strategic Research Organization.png

⚠
Thanks for uploading File:International Strategic Research Organization.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 16:02, 29 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Robot creating bad redirects

Hi there, please see this edit: [1] I propose deleting the talk pages that contain only robot-made redirects for simplicity. Best Regards, jni (delete)...just not interested 19:36, 14 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Feel free to delete them. :) -- A Certain White Cat chi? 20:21, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Edits by タチコマ robot

Hello White Cat. Your work eliminating double redirects has done a speedy job with articles that redirected to linear fractional transformation while a discussion was had at Talk:Linear fractional transformation. After discussion the Redirect to Mobius transformation stands reverted, so now the work of White Cat Bot on six related pages must be undone. May I suggest that White Cat Bot be programmed to detect Talk discussion and delay its action to prevent this type of extra effort.Rgdboer (talk) 20:53, 24 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

It is very difficult to assess intent based on talk page messages. Bot wouldn't be able to distinguish if it is the redirect that is being discussed or something else. I am not saying this is a bad idea but I am unsure about the practicality. The bot will re-correct any new double redirects after the revert of its edit on next double redirect scan by MediaWiki. This happens infrequently so it may take about a day or two at times (depending on server load I believe). -- A Certain White Cat chi? 04:37, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
