More Omegacommand socks

Hi, Coren. I see that you've been dealing with Omegacommand and his socks. I think that BarackBlows (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and 76.110.175.48 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) are him too. Both are blocked at the moment: BarackBlows indefinitely, the IP for one week. If you agree with my assessment that this is the same individual, we can block both 76.110.175.48 and 76.110.167.164 (which you blocked earlier) for a longer duration. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 06:30, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Image:Companions EP vinyl cover.jpg close

I'm thinking of taking the recent Companions EP vinyl cover.jpg IfD close to DRV.

From your point of view, do you think that would be worthwhile?

Myself, I feel the close completely failed to represent the balance of the discussion, or even to recognise where the issues were that there were differences of opinion about.

Anyway, I've given some thoughts at User_talk:Peripitus#Image:Companions EP vinyl cover.jpg_close, asking the closing admin to reconsider.

I'd appreciate your advice and thoughts as to whether you think this is the right angle to take, whether you think it's worth going forward, and/or anything you think could be tightened up or differently presented more effectively, in the event it were to go to DRV. Thanks, Jheald (talk) 16:23, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't think there was consensus, but this is a philosophical battle more than a debate over a particular image, and until some wiki-wide decision is reached about exactly how much fair use is okay chances are the DRV will just rehash the same debate with no resolution. I'm not for or against it, but I'm not sure what it is likely to achieve. — Coren ^(talk) 03:44, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Inline engine (aviation)

Thanks for the warning. It was misplaced. I included in the edit summary a link to the page where it was ripped from, and not long thereafter the content on that page was removed. You might want to add a short delay to the check, and look to see if the "ripped off" content disappears from the originating page; another indicator that I knew what I was doing was the edit summary which included the link.

Potential modification to CorenSearchBot warning?

Hi. :) You give reference to WP:COPYREQ above, but I was wondering if it would be plausible to modify your bot's initial advisory, since quite often I find at WP:CP that contributors have asserted permission on the talk pages in ways we can't use. I wondered if you could modify the bot's message to add something like, "(See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more.)" Presuming they read it, this would allow contributors an opportunity to see how to follow up, so that by the time the listing becomes current 7 days later they might already have verified. There may be good reasons why this shouldn't be included, of course, but I thought to bring it up in case not. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:44, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh, p.s., I'm watching here for response. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:45, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

I tweaked the one that it leaves on the page but couldn't figure out how to find the one it leaves on user talk. :) Maybe what I did is good enough. If you think it would be helpful on the user talk notice, please either help me figure out where it is or add it. :D --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:28, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, nice work. I don't know how useful it would be to change the notice templates, however, they were meant to be shortish instead of replicating the whole "list of things you can do", but if you think you can reword them to include the pointer, go for it. You can find them there; specifically, they are the ones that start with notice- (with the name corresponding to the same article-space notice). — Coren ^(talk) 16:34, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Waaksens

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Waaksens, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Waaxens. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:15, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Unhelpful Corenbot on Ulong

I moved some content from the disambiguation page at Ulong to start a stub at Ulong, New South Wales. For perhaps 60 seconds (I cannot be everywhere at once) there was some duplicate content. But a human would have noticed the edit summaries "taken from Ulong disambiguation" and "move extensive content to Ulong, New South Wales" and not have caused me extra effort.--Rumping (talk) 10:38, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually, the reason why CSBot leaves notes in a case like this is because cut-and-paste moves are almost always an error because the history is lost (which is a GDFL requirement). I've fixed it by merging the history into the spinned out article and restored the disambig. — Coren ^(talk) 16:30, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

That just makes things worse. Most of the history now at Ulong, New South Wales has nothing at all to do with that town or article. --Rumping (talk) 09:13, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Probably not. CSBot is a little dumb and will sometimes confuse two pages on closely related topics. It only ever tags pages once, though, so you should have no further problems. — Coren ^(talk) 19:57, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

User:Coren/q&a

Regarding your response to Newyorkbrad's first question: if I may say so, it's somewhat optimistic to expect to be able to perform all of those roles for three full years. Arbitrators naturally perform only a few—for example, Morven performs mainly ArbCom-l work; Jpgordon, a lot of CheckUser work; and Brad, a lot of decision analysis. If you are able to perform fully (A) through (G), then you have my vote! But, mocking Brad's question is not really justified... One Arbitrator isn't able to do all of them.

Good luck again with your candidacy.

AGK 22:17, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Then I probably didn't express myself properly or understood Brad's question right (which would explain why it confused me). I do understand that day-to-day, the arbs take care of what they are most comfortable at; but I read the question as "which of those are you willing and able to do" and not "which of those will do do continuously". Misread? — Coren ^(talk) 22:22, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Quite so, yes. I believe the intention of the question is "which of these niches do you intend to settle into?", rather than "which of these roles do you think are the purview of an Arbitrator?". Brad is therefore asking you what "sub-type" of Arbitrator do you anticipate being. ;) AGK 22:29, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Ooooh. Oops. Guess it's a good thing I work on them questions long in advance, eh? (Or that people read that page whether it's linked anywhere or not)  :-P Thanks for the heads up, I'll be reexamining the question under that new angle. — Coren ^(talk) 22:33, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

I can understand your misreading a question after answering a raw, lump page of questions; it's a lot of work! Be sure to stock up on coffee, Coren, because I suspect you'll have a lot more to answer over the next few weeks. ;) AGK 22:37, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Recorded debates and discussions

Candidates and the community,

Wikivoices (formally NotTheWikipediaWeekly) would be interested in making several podcasts with candidates running in the 2008 English Wikipedia Arbitration Committee election. Given the high number of candidates likely to be signing up during the nomination stage (likely to be around 45) it will be a very busy 2 weeks. These shows typically last about one and a half hours to record, taking into account setup time, and are recorded using the free, downloadable programme, Skype. The programme can be used on Windows, Mac OS and Linux operating systems and is also available on some mobile platforms. If any candidates have problems with installing or running the program please contact either myself at my talk page or by email

There will be 2 formats being run over the next 2 weeks. The first will be general discussion with a small number candidates at a time with several experienced hosts from Wikivoices. Each candidate will be given 2-3 minutes to introduce themselves then the main body of the cast will begin. The topics discussed will vary in each recording to ensure fairness however the atmosphere will be generally free flowing. These will be running throughout the two weeks starting tomorrow. Specific signup times can be found here at our meta page.

The second format will be based on a similar style to election debates. Questions will be suggested here by the community. A selection of these will then be put to a panel of larger panel candidates with short and concise 1-2 minute responses. Other than an introduction and hello from each candidate, there will be no opportunity for a lengthier introductions. Specific signup times can be found here at our meta page.

It is recommended that candidates attend both formats of casts and we will try to be as flexible as possible. We are looking for the greatest participation but also for shows with enough members to keep it interesting but not too many that it causes bandwidth and general running issues. I look forward to working with all candidates in the coming weeks.

Regarding Jim Stack, current general manager of the Minnesota Timberwolves

I am not surprised that Hoopedia, the NBA wiki, would have an article on Stack, but this website does not. As you may know, Hoopedia is the NBA's wiki, as mentioned above. The information was from the Timberwolves' General Manager Section, and as seeing that Stack did not have a page, I went and took some information. Apparently, I had to rewrite the article because it sounded too much like Hoopedia's, but Hoopedia's NBA player files are in fact based on Wikipedia's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr of sports1991 (talk • contribs) 19:06, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Property is Theft! and User:SteveWolfer

To sum up the situation: I am a person who reads books, and I happened one day to read What is Property?. Thus, I added some material to the article. Libertatia is a professor of history, who teaches a course on Proudhon. SteveWolfer is a randroid pov-warrior who shows no evidence of having read anything written by Proudhon. I have invested perhaps a dozen hours trying to get this fool to listen. Libertatia has invested less time, but still enough to be certain that the situation is hopeless, that he was casting pearls before swine. An RFC was filed; SteveWolfer ignores the result. StephenWolfer's reverts have resulted in two page protections. StephenWolfer has ignored all the latest discussion--everything during the first page protection, during which he seemed to disappear--and ignored plenty that went on before that even while he was participating.

For you to ask either me or Libertatia to do any more, by way of discussion, when our experience already demonstrates the futility of doing so, is simply asking too much. I am not willing to put an unlimited number of hours into this. I don't know what Libertatia is willing to do; yet surely neither is he. For you to ask for more discussion, for you to withhold intervention on this condition--to ask for an absurd, futile discussion--is to make a fatal mistake. The danger here is of driving off the only informed editors, by making demands upon them which are not required of the obstinate fools, who need merely revert, and make some pretense of discussion.

I'm not willing. I can't make demands of you, but it's in your hands. You can file the myriad requests--or bypass them and act directly--or do nothing (and maybe Libertatia will do it). Let the page go to hell, or not. But for me to do it--for you to ask that of me (or of Libertatia, or anyone else who has invested so much, though I don't think anyone else is likely to do so)--at this point, after what has gone on, is simply asking too much. —Jemmy_tc 02:58, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

PS. I really hope you recognize this as representative of a serious weakness in WP as a whole. Plenty of other people do--for example, Larry Sanger. And this is not my first encounter with it; the last time, after hours of effort, I simply gave up, and allowed a page to remain filled with completely made-up bullshit which I would hardly dignify with the phrase "original research." And so it remains, and has remained, for a year. —Jemmy_tc

Have you considered dispute resolution? There are a number of avenues there for intervention when there is a dispute about the contents of an article. — Coren ^(talk) 03:17, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

No. You can do that if you want. As far as I am concerned this is not a "dispute about the contents of an article"; it is one editor whose behavior makes contributing to an article impossible. Literally impossible, at present, since (for the second time, because of his edit warring) the page is protected. —Jemmy_tc 18:39, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Faux français

This was a relief to me - I has been wondering why I found "Jason"'s French so hard to understand. He told me: "Tristement mon français est vu seulement comme poids sur les épaules du wikipedia français" - I wonder what they made of it? Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:04, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

I would expect much the same I did: the renewed observation that while machine translation is nice to get a general idea, it still a source of much humor.  :-)

Correct Copyright Info

The bot labeled my entry and copyright infringement, however the copyright permission for the text is held by me and the company I work for.

Samuel Rutter, Bishop of Sodor and Man

Hope this is OK now - I have removed the quotes of Sam's epitaph which I think were causing the problem - I thought it was nice to have the Latin in but I guess it causes problems - the trnaslation that is there should now be OK. Sorry for the problem. I'll remove your little thing as I guess it will come back if things are not alright. I should do a proper drafts first. (Msrasnw (talk) 01:56, 20 November 2008 (UTC))

I have created Global Conflicts: Palestine which is identical to Global Conflict: Palestine as the correct title of the game is Global Conflicts: Palestine (with an "s" on Conflicts). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikkel184 (talk • contribs) 09:46, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: your reply to one of my questions: Any chance you'd be willing to elaborate on some of the other areas you think are as poisonous as nationalist/ethnic edit wars?

ArbCom questions

Hi. I'm Ral315, editor of the Wikipedia Signpost. We're interviewing all ArbCom candidates for an article this week, and your response is requested.

1. What positions do you hold (adminship, mediation, etc.), on this or other wikis?

2. Have you been involved in any arbitration cases? In what capacity?

3. Why are you running for the Arbitration Committee?

4. How do you feel the Arbitration Committee has handled cases and other situations over the last year? Can you provide an examples of situations where you feel the Committee handled a situation exceptionally well, and why? Any you feel they handled poorly, and why?

5. What is your opinion on confidentiality? If evidence is submitted privately to the Committee, would you share it with other parties in the case? Would you make a decision based on confidential information without making it public?

6. Why do you think users should vote for you?

Please respond on my talk page. We'll probably go to press on Tuesday, but late responses will be added as they're submitted. Thanks, Ral315 (talk) 10:25, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Archive

Hi Coren. The archives for this page are not linked, and the 'index' is out of date, can you please fix that. I was looking for a complaint from another editor, which I could only find from the talk page history, and his claim that you did not respond. While editors should not be insulted by the bot's error, a short reply would do no harm. cygnis insignis 21:56, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Hmm. Looks like when the archiving duties switched from bot to bot, the archive itself got messed up. I'll look into fixing the mess tonight.

What editor are you talking about, exactly? I can probably handle this sooner. — Coren ^(talk) 00:20, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Cheers. The item posted was this, which may have a GFDL issue rather than a copyvio. I haven't looked very deeply into it, but there may be a chance to improve the bot if there is no problem (a false positive?) at all. Regards, cygnis insignis 00:48, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually, GFDL issues are copyvios. In that particular case, it was a straightforward cut and paste instead of move preserving the history — I would have expected the admin that fixed the move to have also told Jwinius why that was a problem (which is generally the case; the editors that patrol WP:SCV are the ones who are in the best position to figure out exactly what happened and guide the user appropriately). At any rate, CSBot is usually fairly good at figuring out in-wiki copies rather than pick up from a mirror (and gives a clearer and more appropriate message), but isn't infallible. — Coren ^(talk) 02:55, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I suppose you are correct, but it should be noted that some history moves are sometimes impractical. I sometimes copy/paste contributions to use as templates for new articles, and I (usually) include a note in the edit summary saying what I did. This is for the GFDL, but also in case I'm repeating an error in our document. However, in the edit your bot queried, the history should have moved then restored - simply because I was in the page history!

RfA thanks

		The RfA Barnstar
		Coren/Archives/2008, I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent Request for Adminship, which passed with 112 supports, 4 opposes and 5 neutrals. A special mention goes out to Stwalkerster and Pedro for nominating me, thanks a lot for having trust in me! In response to the neutrals, I will try to double check articles that have been tagged for speedy deletion before I CSD them and will start off slowly with the drama boards of ANI and AN to ensure that I get used to them. In response to the oppose !votes on my RfA, I will check that any images I use meet the non-free content criteria and will attempt to handle any disputes or queries as well as I can. If you need my help at all, feel free to simply ask at my talk page and I'll see if I can help. Once again, thank you for your participation, and have a great day! :) The Helpful One 22:18, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

CorenSearchBot works great, maybe a bit quick on the draw

duplicated from my talk page:

==[[:Love Is (album)]]==

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Love Is (album), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Love Is. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 11:21, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

You are a very fast bot. Duplication of the two pages was temporary (<5 min) while I moved one page to another in order to redirect the former page to a disambig page. Great job, might want to wait 5-10 minutes, and then recheck, before sending this automated message. Your creator has done a nice job with you. thanks, Jim Butler (t) 11:27, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Same for tagging concerned pages: might well be better to wait a bit before putting those up. Otherwise, it just creates more work for those of us going about our work responsibly and at a typical, human pace, where duplications may exist for a few minutes. thanks, Jim Butler (t) 11:33, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

I've put a note on that subject on your talk page. — Coren ^(talk) 14:22, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Coren, thanks; I replied [3] on my talk page. Would interested in your take; maybe you should move the page back due to titling conventions. Many thanks, Jim Butler (t) 08:29, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Leduc-Nisku Economic Development

Good afternoon, I have finally discovered how to put content onto Wikipedia. Although we do own the copyright to the material I have placed on our Wikipedia page, I can change it if you like. I would like to have editing capabilities and put the following text on our page. If you can provide any assistance, that would be great.

The text I would like added to the Leduc-Nisku Economic Development Authority entry includes: Centrally located on the Edmonton-Calgary corridor, Alberta's International Region is a busy hub of air, rail road and telecommunications networks. It is internationally recognized for its expertise in teh energy, agricultural, advanced manufacturing, environmental and transportation sectors.

Partners in Alberta's International Region include the City of Leduc, Leduc County, the Towns of Beaumont, Calmar, Devon, and the Villages of New SArepta, Thorsby and Warburg clustered around Nisku and Leduc Business Parks and Edmonton International Airport. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Virtualtradeshow (talk • contribs) 23:04, 28 November 2008
