Your recent db-tagging

Hello. I reverted the tag you added here. I reverted it because the article had a {{underconstruction}} template added to it. The article is in the middle of a major revamping and it said to not consider adding a dbtag to it. Understand? --RyRy5 (talk) 21:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I have now deleted this article following the author's request - but your initial tag wasn't correct. The article couldn't have been blatant advertising, as there was next to nothing in the article. :) If you need a hand with the speedy tagging, give us a shout Fritzpoll (talk) 21:33, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, and I noticed that the tag your added was invalid also.--RyRy5 (talk) 21:35, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

(e/c)The author requested deletion so it was deleted. But please be wary of {{underconstruction}}. It means someone is most likely working really hard to get the article going, and then it's just deleted in a flash. It's best to wait until it's in a reasonably finished state unless it's blatantly speedy-able (attack page, advertising, copyvio; try and be lenient with the others). It may just be a click of a button to us, but it means the loss of someone's piece of work; this could discourage people from working further with the project.

Just, thought i'd ask you if there is any way to change the "image", as it still doesn't work in my Internet Explorer (it is fine in Firefox). In principle I think it is a better template as it doesn't have an image as such, but its growing popularity has meant I felt I should bring to your attention it still doesn't render as intended in all browsers.

Glad to see it's taken off so well. :) Can I just mention that all protected edit requests are made using the {{editprotected}} template, and that the MediaWiki namespace is no exception.

Thanks for your kindness! But I don't stand a chance at RfB. Admins generally have to be active administrators for a year (I've been one for less than a month), and been highly active at WP:RFA, WT:RFA and WP:CHU. I'm not active in any of those areas, except the odd support/oppose, so I don't stand a chance! :) I appreciate your kindness though; it means a lot. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 21:20, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Heh, thanks again. Bureaucratship is pretty much the pinnacle of WP trust, and you can see at RfB now there are two candidates, both excellent, but one's not got enough experience as an administrator so is garnering lots of opposes (six months compared to my less-than-one...Do you think it's going to snow? :)). And I suggest dropping round the Sims articles, getting to know some of the regular users and mentioning the Wiki on their talk pages. I see nothing wrong with that really. But yes, any on-wiki (article talk wise) is a bad idea I think. Hope that helps. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 21:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

You know you said you moved the servers? Is there a new URL? I'm refraining from editing until you've given the go-ahead, but according to this it hasn't been edited for a while.

Okay, I'm giving you a chance with this. Don't let me down. :) Practice at Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback, and ask me if you need any help.

Instead, undo it, and leave an edit summary with a reason for removing a user's edits. Any misuse and it will be immediately removed. Sorry to say it like this but I need to reinforce the point that rolled-back good-faith editors can result in new users being put off the project. Good luck.

Username

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

• If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
• If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
• You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Thank you.

Help Requested

{{help me}}

OK. Hi. Welcome to my talk page. I have several questions:

1. Who can review featured article candidates? Is it only admins?
2. Can I have any tips before running [in the future] for adminship?

Thanks. StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign 20:35, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

1. Nope, anyone with an opinion can comment on FACs, just read the guidance at the top of the page (it helps if you are familiar with the FA criteria and the article itself)
2. As for adminship, adoption or admin coaching may not be a bad idea, and getting some experience in admin related areas such as deletion debates and AIV is pretty much essential. Hope this helps! RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 20:44, June 15, 2008 (UTC)

Heyo. As Richard0612 said above, any editor can comment on featured article candidates, and participation is always welcome. My best advice about you running for adminship: do not talk about adminship, care about adminship, or even think about adminship for six months. It doesn't matter; it's not worth worrying about. Just do a good job, be constructive, keep your nose clean, and stop looking like you want it so much, and someone may nominate you someday. If not, who cares? I'm not an admin, and I rarely have any trouble finding someone else to push the buttons for me when they need to be pushed. There are lots of them, eager to help. In the meantime, just stop talking about it. Ever. Cheers, ➪HiDrNick! 20:46, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

I think I didn't make my question clear enough. Who can promote articles to featured article status? StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign 20:51, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

See WP:FAC. A consensus must be reached, no single editor can promote an article to FA status on their own. xenocidic (talk) 20:55, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

The Featured article Director Raul654, and his delegate SandyGeorgia are the only two people who can officially promote articles to FA status. Woody (talk) 20:59, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}} Further help needed. Who created featured articles and good articles? Also, what irc client do people use? StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign 21:04, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Many editors write featured and good articles, they are a product of the wiki model of editing. No one person has ever been the only editor of an FA, it is impossible. Most articles that go through FAC and GAN have a lead editor, or group of lead editors, who have usually done the bulk of the work in terms of writing the article and providing the sources. These editors are usually the nominators at FAC and GAN. I don't use IRC so wouldn't know about that. Woody (talk) 21:08, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Please see WP:IRC for the information. There are different types. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 21:11, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Its going to take me forever to get to 1000 edits. Do they have to be mainspace edits? Can you tell me how many more edits I have left?

I've read the bot page a few times but didn't get much out of it. This is what I can tell you:

1.You have to create an account for your bot. Make a userpage for it.

2.Then you have to configure the bot using some programming language like php or c++. Thats the part I don't know how to do.

3.Then you have to approve the bot. Then wait a while to see if it is approved

4.Cry, then take a nap from all the hard work.

--Condolence( 07:28, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

This is where you have to get the bot approved,Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval.

--Condolence( 07:35, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

To create a bot, you have to have a purpose for it, some task that it is neded to perform. One place to try to find these is at Wikipedia:Bot requests where people ask for bots to do things. You do, unfortunately, need to be able to program. Using something as low-level as php or c++ is not necessary, you can use Visual Basic .NET, which you can download for free from Microsoft as an Express edition. There is then a plug-in linked from Wikipedia:Creating_a_bot#Microsoft_.NET that you can use to make your program access Wikipedia more intuitively (this is what User:FritzpollBot uses).

I chose Visual Basic as an example, because it is quite a quick programming language to pick up, and will be faster and less frustrating for you to learn than C++ (though C++ is a better language to learn in the long run) but you still need a little practice getting it to make simple applications before leaping to editing Wikipedia with it.

You then need to make an account for your bot because it has to be seperate from your own edits, as ultimately new page patrollers, and recent changes patrollers will want to be able to ignore it - the program should use this account to log in and make its edits. But before you can run a bot, you need to get it approved through the bot approval process. This will probably involve doing a limited trial, and making sure that the task is necessary and a net positive to the encyclopedia. If approved, the Bot Approvals Group will ask a Bureaucrat to flag the account as a bot account, which will allow people to ignore its edits.

For more help on creating a bot, you may want to consult Wikipedia:Creating a bot, and I'm happy to point you in the direction of some good Visual Basic, or other programming language, resources. Best wishes, and sorry for butting in Fritzpoll (talk) 07:42, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

AIV

Stewie. That IP had been editing constructively for months and months. Today they made a bad edit, not really vandalism. That doesn't equal a block, per much of what Tan said. I understand that long ago in the past they were vandalizing as well, but today's edit on Satan doesn't mean all that comes in to play. It's likely not even the same "person". Gwynand | Talk•Contribs 17:25, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Your AIV report on User:213.190.195.105

Hi Stewie - the owner of the IP is a cable television company, but that does not mean the edits are coming from a television station, or their head office. In most countries, one or more cable television companies also provide internet services to ordinary consumers in their homes, as well as to businesses and public locations. In many cases, the internet users are assigned IPs from a pool and thus the IP for a customer can change at widely varying intervals. Hope you find this informative.

Shopping centre name change

I definitely don't care enough to try to get it moved back, but decisions shouldn't be solely made on IRC. A comment on the talk page would have been appropriate. I also think that since it appears that "center" was the spelling first used in the article, that WP:ENGVAR suggests that it should have remained American English. --Onorem♠Dil 20:08, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Dantesjuice

Stewie, there are better ways to help new editors than to put their userpages up for deletion the day after they start editing. A welcome template would be nice. Asking them about what they have on their userpage and offering to help them move it to a sandbox would be nice. Linking them to help pages or reference desks would be nice. This AfD wasn't very nice at all; in fact, I think it's possibly one of the most thoughtless ways to treat a new editor that I have seen here.

Your talk page (and its archives) is littered with messages similar to this one, Stewie - asking you to slow down and to start focusing on adding content to the encyclopedia, rather than thinking about the administrative end of things. You need to start taking these messages to heart. When you're just making experienced editors grumpy - well, we're somewhat inured to it. But today, you bit a new editor really hard. I don't know whether or not his band is notable, but I do know he was taking his time and learning, and he was trying to add something to our encyclopedia. I think you owe him an apology. Risker (talk) 16:15, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

It's true Stewie - it's not a good idea to focus on administration entirely. Contribute to articles and, as well as gaining trust and knowledge (and working towards our ultimate goal) you will learn policy on the way. Joining a wikiproject or two and editing articles that take your fancy teaches you all the policies and guidelines you need, trust me...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 16:30, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Heya Stewie, I listened to one of your Wikipedia audios the other day and had lots of fun doin' it. Meanwhile, please take the hint, slow down and edit some articles, any articles you like. Doing so will not only help the encyclopedia, but is the keenest way to learn what administration is truly all about. Cheers, Gwen Gale (talk) 16:57, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Administrator's noticeboard

It's probably best if you just avoid posting to these noticeboards at all. I understand you don't like some of the things people have said, but criticism is allowed. It sounds to me like you lack some of the maturity that's required to participate in a collaborative project like Wikipedia. So, while I'm not at all saying "go away", I am strongly suggesting that you slow down and focus on articles, and less on other aspects of Wikipedia. There's a learning curve here, and I'm not remotely convinced you're ready for difficult things. So, do some simple things while you're learning your way around. Friday (talk) 17:07, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

I have been adopted. StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign 17:26, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Right, exactly my point. Someone, or many people, have said they "adopted" you, but I have zero idea what that actually means or how it is helping you. I don't even know who your adopters are. Gwynand | Talk•Contribs 17:30, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Only one person has adopted me. Who said they had? StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign 17:32, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

In my experience, adoption is generally a case of the blind leading the blind. The way people learn is by doing, not by making buddies. Friday (talk) 17:33, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry Stewie, I was speaking generally, didnt know if you had one or more adopters. My point is that the recommendation of an adoption program to help an editor has become all but defunct, with numerous cases where the adoption is actually making things worse for the project. I'm in total agreement with Friday here, the current state of formal "adoption" should generally be avoided. Gwynand | Talk•Contribs 17:35, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Stewie, I think you should find a nice barn and settle down, tuck your head under your wing, and make a nest, finding sticks to do so. Peck at the nest until it beomes perfect. I can't think of ways to extend the bird metaphor further, so...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 17:41, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism

Hey there, just a note to say that you could possibly be a little more careful with your vandalism reversions. I noticed earlier on my watchlist that here you reverted an edit that removed a bunch of crap and labelled it "vandalism". It's often worth taking an extra few seconds to inspect a diff - nothing terrible is going to happen if vandalism stays there a few seconds longer than necessary, but it would be a shame if we lost someone who was legitimately helping out because he was angry over being labelled a vandal. The IP in question has actually reverted quite a lot of vandalism. Thanks for your efforts. Naerii - Talk 14:21, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good, I will be able to. You will have to do July 3 (fireworks show in my town/all-day cookout) and July 4 (Independence Day (United States)/more cookouts). I'll do a calender for this, I think. RedThunder 13:25, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, WP:PUI would be the best place to go from here. Could you handle that? Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 16:15, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

WP:RADIOWP

Sounds good, and I will be sure to remember the instructions. My subject for the 29th will be the "Age and adminship" debate. Also, I would like to add in a segment if it's okay. I talked to my friend about hosting a different kind of segment, about what Wikipedia is like from the "casual readers" without an account perspective. The segment would be called "Wikipedia from a non-user with Sean Thomas." RedThunder 21:39, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Response

Hi Stewie. I've protected the page. No, unfortunately it's too soon. You've also made several recent mistakes in the admin areas which will kill an RfA. I honestly suggest waiting at least six months before re-applying. Just forget about adminship; really, people don't like to see others "aspire" to adminship. If you do the right things, adminship will just come naturally. I can honestly say, though, that you will not be an administrator in less than six months. Why? Because 1) of sockpuppetry, but that incident has passed. 2) Because of your mistakes in admin areas. 3) Because you don't really have any milestones in the mainspace: no DYKs, GAs or FAs. Founding WP:RADWP is a good start, but it's simply too soon at the moment. Hope this helps. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 19:13, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
