Elle McQueen

Hey. Do you remember a while back I told you about a Hollyoaks recieving disruptive edits claiming a new character Elle McQueen existed.... She's back – Special:Contributions/92.28.237.74. Can you keep an eye out in case it persists?RaintheOne ^BAM 14:07, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Sure will do, by the way changed Tea and Todd to semi protection, those editors were all related and have now been blocked.--5 albert square (talk) 17:20, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey – Are you around atm?RaintheOne ^BAM 23:48, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Only just got your message, yup am around--5 albert square (talk) 00:16, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Oh good. Can you move my User:Raintheone/Amy Wyatt into the main space then rid of the left over? I started that yesterday afternoon, but I think it's ready.RaintheOne ^BAM 00:23, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

What do you want it moved to? There's already a page for Amy Wyatt?--5 albert square (talk) 00:32, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I'd like it moved to Amy Wyatt. :)RaintheOne ^BAM 00:36, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

 Done Sorry half asleep lol!--5 albert square (talk) 00:44, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

It's okay, Thanks for the help. It would be easier if they'd just let editors in general move articles over to redirect titles.RaintheOne ^BAM 00:48, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

unblock

I have unblocked User:98.163.75.189, whom you blocked for violation of the EL policy. I saw your previous comment, and I didn't really see the need to ask you again. If this is a violation of protocol, I apologize, but it is after all only a 48 hour block, and would probably have expired before we had sufficiently exchanged views. I have been examining the links he has been adding and the notice he has been receiving, and I consider the overwhelming majority of the automated notices unjustified. The EL policy has exceptions, and he has been, quite properly, using them in a way that benefits the encyclopedia. I wish he would stop editing anonymously, which would If I understand the operation of that bot prevent most of the notices, but he's stubborn about it. I am aware that although I am quite sure I am acting rightly, this is something that nobody can really judge for themselves, and , since I may now have become to some degree involved with respect to him, if he should be blocked because of future edits of this nature, I do not intend to be the one to unblock him. You may not agree with what I;'ve done. if so, please consider that, as I just said, I do not intend to do it repeatedly. If you're really unhappy, let's try to discuss it ourselves before proceeding to the next level, which is AN/I.

Please accept my apologies for going ahead directly--I think it was fairer to the user. DGG ( talk ) 23:57, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Autoblocks and disabling account creation

Hi there. Just a quick note that when you change a previous block to allow account creation, as you did for Fixitbot, you may also need to lift the autoblock, otherwise they still won't be able to create an account from their IP address. In this case I've already lifted the autoblock, so no worries there. Best, - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 10:13, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

I think an edit war just broke at List of EastEnders characters. You couldn't protect the page could you? - JuneGloom Talk 22:32, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Done and dusted!--5 albert square (talk) 22:48, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Sorry about the edit war, I lost track of time. Can you please intervene in this case, I am not the only editor who has reverted these edits, and it has been discussed on the articles talk page. Bleaney (talk) 22:41, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

No worries, I had to warn you though. I've fully locked the page now as that should force any discussion to take place on the talk page. Whilst I'm on the subject of EE though, do you know why Tiff and Liam were moved from regular to recurring? I always thought they were still regulars :S--5 albert square (talk) 22:48, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

I did it! It was discussed on the talk page. The rationale was all child characters are recurring due to the work constraints imposed on child actors, so for instance Bobby Beale is listed as recurring, even though he is the same age as Tiffany. To be honest though the whole Recurring/Guest section is in trouble as technically, listing a character as recurring usually constitutes original research (The BBC hardly ever issue a statement labelling a character as recurring, Norman and Poppy were an exception). In ll likelyhood the entire list should be changed/purged but its bound to be contravertial as it will mean losing the likes of Sal Martin, Reverend Stevens, Mr Lister and Imam Ali altogether. We would also have to list child characters as regular even the babies??!!?? When discussed in an earlier entry Anenome Projectors threatened to 'revert us all' if we tried removing/reforming the recurring section, so im at a loss what to do! Bleaney (talk) 22:54, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Ah sorry, I thought it was the other guy! I've always thought of Tiff more as a regular because she does seem to get quite a few scenes, would never think of Bobby in that way, he's had about 2 scenes all year! As for Aunt Sal, didn't we once remove her and put her as a former recurring, then we'd no sooner hit 'save' and she appeared in Billy's house the next episode?!

Imagine listing Oscar Branning, George Trott or even Yasmin Masood as a regular?!--5 albert square (talk) 23:08, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

I know, its incredibly problematic, after all we KNOW that the likes of Aunt Sal and Mr Lister ARE recurring, but we cant prove it! I am happy to leave the recurring section there, but we all will have to accept that quite a chunk of original research will be left there too! Bleaney (talk) 23:12, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

By the way, I notice you readded tiff and Liam to the regulars list. If they are to go there, they should be listed in order of first appearance and not just taggedon at the end.Bleaney (talk) 23:17, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

I'll have a look at it over the next few days and see if anything can be done :). I'm actually surprised nobody has tried tonight to add Tyler Moon as a boyfriend or something to Lauren Branning's page even though it's clearly a one-night stand. That's what normally happens on here lol, a character has a one-night stand, next minute Wikipedia marries them off!--5 albert square (talk) 23:21, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

BUSMASTER

Hi Albert,

I would like to add the english BUSMASTER article again. We have now different references that we can give. See the German Wikipedia page on BUSMASTER. It is the first Open Source project of ETAS and RBEI, and therefore linked from the ETAS site.

I have no idea of talks here, but if you activate the possibility to edit the page again, I'll try to produce one site that you can hopefully accept. Otherwise the English Wikipedia will be the only language without a BUSMASTER site :-)

With hindsight, it may have been naive of me to use my own (well-known in the Opera world) name as my username, but it never occurred to me that you should think someone would want to impersonate me! What do I need to do to convince you that I am who I say I am, and get you to unblock me? Best wishes, Peter SIDHOM 85.210.2.219 (talk) 16:32, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Hello, what you need to do in this case, as you are claiming to be this person is email info-en@wikipedia.org. They will ask for proof that you are Peter Sidhom, once they are satisfied, they can then unblock you. I hope this clears things up.--5 albert square (talk) 00:16, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Protection

It would be very nice if you protected my talk page/user page. I appreciate it. Reliable Forever^talk 02:19, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

What if

I'm curious. If a user wanted their user page and talk page permanently semi protected do they have to show cause at Requests for page protection. I always assumed if someone wanted their own pages locked just ask any admin and no problem. I haven’t been vandalism much but just what if I ever wanted for whatever reason.

I came across the "back to school" action at RC. SlightSmile 03:03, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

You can, but sometimes it can be quicker asking at RFPP. Us admins aren't online 24/7 haha we do like to sleep! :p--5 albert square (talk) 23:16, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Admins sleep! I've heard something like that before but I was never sure if it was true. SlightSmile 00:55, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, we do like to sleep very occasionally haha though it probably doesn't look like it! I did attempt it earlier but it would appear that the neighbours across the road decided I don't want sleep tonight by arguing in front of my bedroom window! --5 albert square (talk) 01:02, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion Internet Solutions

Hiya I got a Speedy Deletion message for an article (snub) on Internet Solutions I created a while back. It certainly did not have a single bit of copyright information in it when it was created. If someone else later adds copyright info (allegedly), then that shouldn't be reverted? Furthermore I wasn't even able to see if it was in fact copyrighted as claimed by G12 invocation. Of course I assume good faith, just felt... well it was speedy and severe. Didn't get a chance to even see the article...

Internet Solutions definitely should have their own wikipage. They are part of NTT a $100B+ company and South Africa's (50 million people) largest ISP with hundreds of references about them. Bit sad that the wikipedians in Africa and African articles on companies are so underrepresented. Anyway that's another story ... :)

Jade islam

Hi there, can you take another look at Jade islam, an article that you deleted under A7. I saw it briefly before it was deleted (after it was tagged), and thought it had a claim to significance, ie., that she starred in a notable TV show. I might have missed something, but can you let me know what you think. It might end up being deleted in AfD anyway if it was undeleted but if there is a claim to significance, I think it would be better going that route rather than speedy deletion. Thanks, Quasihuman | Talk 14:37, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Pat Evans

Pat's final moments and episode influenced many characters – notably Janine especially with her revealing her pregnancy to her. Surely this should be mentioned? As the Pat/Janine dynamic has been an on-going storyline for years whilst David's return has only just occurred. Maybe there was a little [i]too[/i] much detail, but I think what was originally there needs to be expanded. Alex250P (talk) 21:16, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Hey 5AS, Just to let you know, there is a template to quicky reply to users about FPs... {{CB-FPWarn}} which leads to It looks like you bumped into a false positive.

I thought there must be something like that! Just never came across it before lol! Thanks for pointing that out.

Undo on The Bill

Hi, I've undone your edit on The Bill. A television show does not cease to exist when it stops filming, so it's correct to say "The Bill is a police procedural ... " blah blah.

Doug cocks

I don't know how i managed to report user talk:Doug cocks to WP:AIV. I never even gave him a warning. Another problem with Huggle? Thanks for not banning Doug. Jim1138 (talk) 03:06, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

I went back through my contributions. I warned Doug for removal of content. This was my first warning to Doug. I apparently was his fifth warning (by Huggle's reckoning) and an automated report to AIV was made. It appears that Huggle was not recording the warnings on Doug's talk page. I have seen this before where Huggle did not update the user's talk page. Though you would want to know. Jim1138 (talk) 05:21, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

MSU Interview

Dear 5 albert square,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 18:02, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

He was the anchor of state television in Afghanistan and he was the Vice-President of Journalists Association in Afghanistan.He got brutally killed in front of his house two years ago. His murderers are still not found and the government tries to make him forget.

The french foreign minister bernard Kouchner conodoladed when Mr Noori got killed. He was extremly important person for Afghanistan.You cand find a lot news in every big media and all over the world about him.

I have spent four hours to write the article and someone deleted it in a few seconds. Please help me to renew the article,please.It a was very good article.

GOCE March copy edit drive

Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their March 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on March 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on March 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goal for the drive will be to eliminate the remaining 2010 articles from the queue. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa, Stfg, and Coordinator emeritus SMasters. 19:25, 20 February 2012 (UTC) >>> Sign up now <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

GOCE March drive wrap-up

Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive GOCE March 2012 Backlog Elimination progress graph Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May.
