User:Dragons flight/AFD summary

I see that others have asked you about User:Dragons flight/AFD summary, but I did not see any feedback. Is this now no longer updated? Cirt (talk) 15:31, 12 December 2007 (UTC).

At the present time, I have no plans to revive the bots. Dragons flight (talk) 22:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, no worries, just curious. Cirt (talk) 05:40, 15 December 2007 (UTC).

Query

Based on your comments on the CFD on "admins open to recall", I'd like to have your opinion on an alternative idea with somewhat stricter norms. >Radiant< 00:44, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

I didn't know how to do that newfangled markup[1], so thanks for aiding the elderly. Raymond Arritt (talk) 20:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

DFBot

Is it not active any more? When I came across the category tracker I saw it hadn't been updated since August.   jj137 ^♠ 18:39, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

SVG

Hi -- I realize that it's a copyrighted image, but it seems that it's common to vectorize them if it's a more efficient format (hence the {{SVG-Logo}} template and Category:Vector images of trademarks, which has thousands of vector trademarks). The template (and its use) has been kept at TfD and addressed at Wikipedia:Logos. This practice seems largely acceptable. Dylan (talk) 19:25, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

My recollection of the discussions that WP:NFC is that this was not acceptable, though I suppose that could have changed. The point stands though that there is very questionable to replace an adequate low res logo with a higher resolution one. I've started a discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Non-free_content#SVG_Logos. Dragons flight (talk) 19:31, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, that's fine. I just wanted to make sure you know that this goes well beyond one Cal logo. Dylan (talk) 19:33, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

PS. That category only has 720 images which is a tiny fraction of the 60,000 non-free logos. Dragons flight (talk) 19:39, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Merry Christmas

rollback

has been restored to your account, hope you find it useful. NoSeptember 19:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I see your point

Ummm, the effective temperature of the sun is a derived number based on measuring the solar constant, not the other way around. If you want a highly accurate solar constant, then using a derived temperature without any specified source or uncertainty is not the way to go about it. Dragons flight (talk) 21:20, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Ooowah, point taken: I know this isn't the place to ask this, but since you seem to know, I'm not still wrong in calculating HZ median Solar Constant distances for other stars with that formula?? f=(R2aT4)/(d2), from L=4π·R2aT4, and L=4π·d2f. GabrielVelasquez (talk) 22:05, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Mauri S. Pelto

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Mauri S. Pelto, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Rudget!

Dear Dragons flight, my sincere thanks for your participation in my second request for adminship, which ended with 113 supports, 11 opposes, and 4 neutral. I would especially like to thank my admin coach and nominator, Rlevse and Ryan Postlethwaite who in addition to Ioeth all inspired me to run for a second candidacy. I would also like to make a special mention to Phoenix-wiki, Dihyrdogen Monoxide and OhanaUnited who all offered to do co-nominations, but I unfortunately had to decline. I had all these funny ideas that it would fail again, and I was prepared for the worst, but at least it showed that the community really does have something other places don't. Who would have though Gmail would have been so effective? 32 emails in one week! (Even if it does classify some as junk :P) I'm glad that I've been appointed after a nail biting and some might call, decision changing RFA, but if you ever need anything, just get in touch. The very best of luck for 2008 and beyond, Rudget. 17:05, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

DFBot

Hi. Perhaps very belately, I am wondering why DFBot is not running for the last half a year. I think it was a very valuable resourse (given how many AFDs are there nowawdays), and my poor bot's (mathbot's) summary at WP:AFD/Old is no longer enough for people. Would you consider bringing the bot back online?

By the way, what language is the bot written in? Any scripting language that can run on Unix I hope? :) Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:54, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I turned it off when I left Wikipedia for 6 weeks. I haven't reenabled it because I largely intend to scale back my participation here. It is written in Python. I'm not opposed to someone else running it if they really want it. Dragons flight (talk) 06:34, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Can you give me the source code? I would be very interested in running it. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 07:21, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Please send me your email. Dragons flight (talk) 10:18, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
