NCFC honours
editHey, just a quick hello. The NCFC honours section is a right mess. I just changed it from saying NCFC had been League Champions three times to Second Division champs, but then, of course, 03/04 it was First Division (or was it the Championship by then, can't remember...), and it also says the club were runners-up in 81/82 while in the main history it says third. Can you sort it? Cheers! The Rambling Man 07:38, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

editHi, Dweller, and thanks very much for your kind words. I've seen a lot of your work too and you've always impressed me. Keep it up. Hope you have a good holiday. I'm back on WP now but I'm a bit short of time for the present. All the best. --BlackJack | talk page 17:07, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

"The Bums' song" [sic]
editIn response to your alert, I did some work on the page - while unbeknownst to me (as there's no alert for an "edit conflict" when a comment's being posted on the associated Talk page), another User made a valid point about sourcing. A check revealed that my ad lib translation was itself "unencyclopedic," as having no evident support in other Web sources. This led me to revise what I'd written, with a solution I hope will serve the purpose. As a native speaker of US English, I'd say that "lazy bum" was used rather than simply "bum" which in our lingo—and rather dated, at that—generaly connotes "hobo." Objectively speaking, you turned to a fairly qualified though not necessarily objective arbiter: not only am I a professional Hebrew–English translator, I'm a Eurovision fan and resident of Israel since late 1984. Local viewers of my acquaintance were mildly horrified at this song's winning the pre-Eurovision, and quite bewildered at its high ranking in the international competition. We could best understand this as a "protest vote" by Europeans fed up with the canned/commercial nature of the mainstream entries. Understandably, we were nonetheless cheered—as every year—by votes for the Israeli entry as indicative of... well, if not outright philo-Zionism, at least not rejection of what's sometimes considered a rogue state and pariah nation (dare I say, antisemitism). Anyway, I did some minor editing as well; hope my contribution's of some help in clarifying the point of concern. -- Thanks for the heads-up, Deborahjay 22:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Admin coaching
editI replied to your questions and have been waiting for a reply or follow up. I didn't know if you were still doing this, but just to let you know. Get back to me soon on this as I do want to continue my coaching swiftly. Many thanks, Extranet (Talk | Contribs) 00:47, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Ode-alicious
editI thank you Dweller, for your wonderful ode
That appeared just recently in my talk page code
Your poetry left me in a state of delight
And I look forward to helping you fight the good fight

- Alas! My fears were growing worse,
- That none would reply to my ode in verse,
- All admins work in prose infernal...
- But I should have trusted in you, Gwernol.
Thanks! - Dweller 13:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Lesson on Featured Article Candidates
editWhen can I expect your lesson to be completed? Any chance that The Rambling Man can co-author that with you? (Might be more fun as a collaboration, and would get done faster). The Transhumanist 01:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the NPOV edits on John Barton King. I've had a little trouble keeping those sneaky instances out of the article because I'm such a big fan of the man. Thank you for your help.--Eva bd 12:49, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
WP:CRIQ
editNCFC peer review
editIt's bursting at the seams now, thanks to HornetMike... I'll have a look over some of them and see where we go. Oldelpaso has a few comments remaining as well... The Rambling Man 15:50, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, I've bagged and tagged around 75% of the comments, there are some slightly more specific issues (e.g. history of Carrow Road development) that you are probably in a better position to address if your book covers it. There's also still a whiff of recentism which needs addressing. But once we hit the remaining issues into touch, I'd suggest the FA nom... really wind things up a bit!! The Rambling Man 17:06, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- I'll be offline tomorrow, until the evening at least, perhaps we can discuss what's next for NCFC at some point? The Rambling Man 12:12, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Cricket
editThe Running Man Barnstar | ||
For all your hard work on cricket articles. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 08:14, 16 April 2007 (UTC) |
- BTW, is it just me, or is Brett Lee not in a very good state. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 08:14, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for the Barnie. Agreed re Brett Lee - and I took the hint (!). What's that weird stuff at the foot of his article? --Dweller 08:54, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- See the Lee history. I've made one revert, but I'm not interested in a revert war there or anywhere on WP for that matter. I suggest we bring in WP:CRIC for a consensus conversation at the talk page. Once consensus is established, reverts can be made and the dissenting minority needs to avoid 3RR. --Dweller 11:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- Well yes I see, the guy has been blocked for sockpuppeteering. Well, I guess it's 2-1 but I don't think that guy will be changing his mind anytime. Single article editors usually are quite strong in their opinions about the subject, which is why they only want to edit one and have no interest in others. And usually way POV as well. I'm not going to worry about reverting if he keeps blanking out the stuff about the suspect bowling action, or the beamers. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:26, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Bart Versieck
editGreetings,
I have known Bart for several years now and he does not follow the rules. To change other people's messages is wrong, and he has been repeatedly warned about this many times, but fails to listen. If you are to stand up for what is right, I suggest you send him a message, not me. Bart lives in another country and knows this is not a 'threat,' it is a warning that continued violation of not just Wikipedia rules but standard worldwide literary practice is something that could have negative consequences in academia.R Young {yakłtalk} 09:29, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
I do not believe that Winston Churchill standing up to Adolph Hitler is 'stooping to another's level.' It is the idea that we must be 'above' one another that is actually more dangerous. For, by placing ourselves on a pedestal, we make our position much more untenable. Hence the US defeat in Vietnam. Also, Bart is the one that is messing up what I write, not the other way around. Is it too much to ask you to advise Bart NOT to do it? Your messages to me accomplish nothing. Punishing a judge for punishing a criminal won't make a criminal behave. I am not Mike Nifong here. Bart is clearly guilty; he signs his name.
True, you can censor me but since I would then not be able to add new information, the real victims would be the world's education on the topic. I would then censor Bart on non-Wikipedian sites and he would then be left in the dark. Everyone loses. Would it be too much to ask for you to set ego aside and do the right thing...give Bart a warning? What is it about standing behind doing the right thing, when the other side has repeatedly broken the rules and has not respected repeated requests to stop it? Also, I FAIL to see how the words 'consequences on Wikipedia' constitute a 'threat'. What, is his computer going to 'zap' him? Since when is Wikipedia a weapon?R Young {yakłtalk} 09:45, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

TOC
editHey, moved. For future reference, just move __TOC__ to where you want the TOC to appear within the article. Thanks for casting your eyes over my mini-project(s), most significantly Italian football champions. I want this article to be bang damned hot and perfect, then I'm going for a featured list. Compared with the Danish football champions and Swedish football champions which are already FL's, I think I'm in with a very good chance. Feel free to keep helping out! And let me know when you want to get back to NCFC, I've made as many changes as I feel confident to do following the peer review comments. The Rambling Man 15:54, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Cheers. Will do, on all accounts. --Dweller 16:00, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
your claim
edit"airing grievances in this manner is unproductive and unfair (the targets have no place editing the page to refute the accusations)." - sorry, who is airing grievances? I did post diffs. That's it. And everybody is able to improve the page. The "accusations" are well sourced. Every had a diff. The reader could himself compare the actions with the written policies and see if they were violated. BTW, I tried to set up a project to collect abuse issues, but this was deleted speedily without talk. A clique of admins tries to hide evidences for their abuses. They use their weapons in conflicts they are involved themselves and they use them out of policy. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 18:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Tobias. I have no doubt that your accusations are well sourced - I assumed good faith. However, the targets have no place editing your user page to refute the claims. If you have grounds for complaint, there are a number of different avenues which allow you to do so, while fairly allowing the other party to respond. If your project was deleted without correct process, that's bad; challenge it? --Dweller 18:58, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

FCK
editIt's populated. One thing we get used to on UCFD is that sometimes it can take a while for the system to cycle through user accounts, updating them to their new categories. So while your page knows you're in the new category, the system doesn't yet. But it will. Those are the hiccups of an object-oriented database, I guess.--Mike Selinker 19:47, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

- How come? People who announce their departure have also been known to return. But yeah, the impact of the side effect is tricky to estimate. More important is the point that this doesn't actually help against account compromise. >Radiant< 11:54, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Well, yes, people sometimes leave in a huff and do something stupid. People also sometimes leave in a huff without doing something stupid. It's a matter of babies and bathwater, and stupid things are generally reversible. >Radiant< 12:07, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Dweller,
I thought of it this way: If we had an article for 2007 County Championship, it would probably only be a redirect to 2007 English cricket season, so I felt justified linking straight there.

Dweller, on FA
editLooks good to me until you get to the WP:FAR section where it tails off. Presumably you've not finished this bit yet? The Rambling Man 17:01, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, you're probably right. Lol. I'm getting fed up with the thing and want it finished! --Dweller 20:13, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Well don't get too worked up by it, it's supposed to be interesting and informative and generate debate and discussion. If I were you, I'd bin the last section and post the article to the Transhumanist so it can go on-line officially. Once there I'll be more than happy to monitor and chip in with further advice and tips. Not much happening on my peer review by the way... I'll give it a few more days and then axe it and go straight for FLC.... The Rambling Man 20:33, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Nice advice, but I think I'll do a thorough job for my mentor. Thanks. Have you solicited egregiously for comments at the PR? I don't mind whipping up a few of the boys. Mind you, lack of comments could be because there's little to criticise! --Dweller 20:38, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Well I put a post on the Footy wikiproject but still no takers. I can't find a reason why Serie A was born out of Italian Football Championship and I'm not sure where else to check. I might pop to Waterstones to see if there are any books on Italian football history... Otherwise I'm going to close the PR in a few days and go for featured list nom.... The Rambling Man 13:28, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Why not just remove all reference to the distinction? It might be difficult to cite because of translation issues, but it's actually an irrelevance. btw, like the "scudetto" someone posted? lol --Dweller 13:30, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- I'd rather keep the distinction and work out why! Yes, the scudetto was something of an added bonus wasn't it? A nice selection of images now... The Rambling Man 13:34, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Letter in The Times (Posted on Jimbo's Talk)
editHi Dweller. Thank you for the comments about the letter in The Times. I am the writer of that letter, and seeing Mr. Steadman's (The person I was replying to) comments about Wikipedia, insensed me. I am part of the RCP and Counter Vandalism teams here, and for him to suggest that we were "littered with inaccuracies" made me wanna sort him out. I have since learned that this Mr Steadman had an account here, and was nailed for trolling and vandalism, which suggests to me that he has an axe to grind against Wikipedia. Once again, thanks very much and please take care. Thor Malmjursson 23:34, 19 April 2007 (UTC) Talk with the 'flow

editPlease don't put a Proposed Deletion tag back after someone removed it. This is against the WP:PROD policy, especially ": If anyone, including the article's creator, removes Template:Prod from an article for any reason, do not put it back". You can disagree with the removal, but then to have it deleted you have to take it to AfD. Anyway, a quick Google revealed that it is reported in French in Le Journal de l'Automobile, the Spanish El Mundo, the Irish Sunday Tribune. I have no interest in this article (and didn't intend to spend this time on it), I just check if expired prods should be kept or deleted. If you want sources for the article, either search for them or put a "source" tag on it. If you can't find any of think there aren't any, put it up for AfD. Fram 13:16, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- I think our messages crossed in the post (see your usertalk) - I know the prod policy, can't understand why I forgot it. --Dweller 13:18, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Just saw your message on my talk. Please disregard the tone of my previous post (right above). I have given some sources, hope that helps. Fram 13:19, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

editDweller, I hereby promote you to admin coach. You've been helping others on the VC as well as I have done, and you are welcome to continue doing so, and you are also welcome to bring in new students whom you've selected, if you so desire. We've got room for a couple more, since some of the current students are on wikibreak. The key attributes to look for are enthusiasm, dedication, and a gracious attitude toward others.
By the way, I've picked up where we've left off at the VC, and I'm in the middle of posting new assignments. Feel free to jump in on the fun. Sincerely, The Transhumanist

RfA WikiProject endorsement issue
editThank you for bringing this issue to my attention. After some careful consideration, I have to conclude that requiring or even encouraging endorsement by WikiProjects is a bad idea. It would entail voting and discussion on WikiProject talk pages concerning RfA's, effectively expanding the RfA process to WikiProject pages. That's pure bureaucracy, and won't improve Wikipedia at all. WikiProjects don't need that type of distraction. They've got their work cut out for them already.

RfA:TRM
edit[3] That may be sensible (at this time). It's really important to be mindful of WP:CANVASS when talking about potential RfA's on project pages as more than one has become derailed over that issue. I would nearly suggest leaving it a week or so so that the discussion isn't associated with the RfA.
That does not change the gist of my comments at the project page, just that I recognise the current reality. —Moondyne 08:25, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Norwich City F.C.
editLooks good. It might be possible to create a free version of the Norwich coat of arms, as the original design is probably public domain by now. Only that rendering is copyrighted. You should also use -self copyright (GFDL-self) tags if you are the original author, or simply mention that fact on the image page (Image:Play off Final in Cardiff 2002.jpg). ed g2s • talk 09:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- OK, this is great because it's still gobbledigook to me and I'm keen to learn more about image licensing. Let's take this slowly. With the coat of arms, how would I create a free version? With the photo, I'm not the original author, but I have the original author's permission by email to use the photo freely. --Dweller 10:01, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

editI don't think appending pieces of sourced gossip help the article, it is not a fact and indeed is charcter deprivating --Vivbaker 12:55, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- It's properly sourced from a reliable source. That it makes her look bad is neither here nor there. We're not trying to write hagiographies, but biographies. Stuff that makes Mother Theresa look bad or Hitler look good should still be included, if properly sourced. If you want her article to say only good things about her, then start a website about her. --Dweller 13:03, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

RfA
editJust saw your attempt at garnering a RFA-nom (or endorsement) from the cricket project. Good job on trying this experiment. Whether it works or not it was worth a try to test the waters, especially on such a prominent wikiproject. Personally, i think such noms would be quite convincing since they come from a group that know the user well. David D. (Talk) 15:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you. I'm thinking that what might fit the canvassing rules and the notion is that when the RfA goes live, I'll post a message to that effect at WP:CRIC (which I believe is allowed) and ask members to identify themselves as members when they !vote at the RfA, whichever way that is. A consensus should be apparent that way and I'd hopefully not be trampling anyone's sensitivities or breaking any rules. --Dweller 15:39, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Tzitzit
editThe article was VERY POV in favor of the 'techeiles' people. The fact is that only Kahane/Kach people wear it and that all poskim have condemned and forbidden it. --Rabbeinu 09:07, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. You're right. I don't know of any chareidi poskim (aside from the Radzhyner Rebbe, and that story is such an exemption and such a bizarre story that it is not even worth mentioning) who permit anything other than white. I have never in my life met any chareidi person (and I am a chareidishe yid in Yerushalaim who is deeply involved in the chassidishe world here) wearing techeiles, and I have met a few. It's only the hilltop guys who wear it (from Tekoa, Kiryat Arba etc). But any yeshiva I am familiar with, would immediately throw any bochur (or kollel, avreich) out of the yeshiva should he show up wearing 'techeiles'. --Rabbeinu 09:25, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
- That's a little silly, of course most Jews do not wear both. Only Chabadniks. Most chassidim don't wear them until the chasseneh or only some time after that. AFAIK only chabadnikim start at their bar mitzvah. --Rabbeinu 11:28, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I thought all FAs were routinely scheduled to appear on the Main Page as a matter of course (I know for sure that featured pictures are). Could you check on this please?

- NCFC FA? Why didn't anyone tell me?! Oh, and I think the above question can be answered by the fact that Raul promotes about at least a dozen articles a day so it would be impossible for all articles to be featured unless they stay on the main page for less than a day... well done on NCFC anyhow...

Okay then...
editSo, while the other stuff goes on, and now NCFC has been promoted (and my mini-side project of Italian football champions seems to be going slooooowly towards promotion) and with concerns in the other place of me reducing my FA output, it's about time we had a timetable for a couple of new FA projects. What say you? The Rambling Man 17:04, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hey, no, it's not going badly at all(!) but I must focus... FOCUS! So, your suggestions both look good to me, although I'm waaaay out of my comfort zone with Harlech Castle, but that may be a good thing. Let me know when you're about so we can make a start. Also, about the other thing, have you and the Transhumanist discussed whether you feel you're ready yet? The Rambling Man 07:02, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
- I'm making a start on O'Reilly, I'm fixing all the current references so they use the right templates, and adding citation needed's where appropriate... The Rambling Man 10:11, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
