Adoption

Hello Marius, you seemed to be interested in being adopted. If you're still interested, feel free to drop a note in my talk page. Have a nice day! --Hirohisat ^Talk 21:06, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Glad to hear. Anyhow, let's get started! First please read the 5 Pillars of Wikipedia if you haven't done so yet. --Hirohisat ^Talk 00:25, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, now I want you to leave comments about each pillar.

1.Wikipedia is a encyclopedia

To me, this basically means that Wikipedia should be fact based and accurate. --mariusstrom 23:00, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

For further reading, check WP:NOT out. --Hirohisat ^Talk 00:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

2.Neutral Point of view

Closely aligned ith #1 in my opinion - if you keep articles bound to citable or well known facts, then it will, by definition, not carry a bias. --mariusstrom 23:00, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, verifability over truth. --Hirohisat ^Talk 00:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

3.Wikipedia is a free content

Basically that Wikipedia is free (as in beer and speech). --mariusstrom 23:00, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Can you elaborate further on this? --Hirohisat ^Talk 00:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Sure. Basically, there's no charge to accessing wikipedia, so it's free (as in your friend buys you a free beer). The second part is that it's free (as in free speech) - You can post what you want (although you should be within the bounds of the 5 pillars and the code of conduct), and people can later edit your posts. The free (as in beer) thing has a lot of implications with regard to copyright and such, and making sure that the materials posted can be put into the public domain free-of-charge and within legal capability. --mariusstrom 01:43, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

That's about it. You're right on track. --Hirohisat ^Talk 04:01, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

4.Wikipedia has a code of conduct

When anyone can edit anything, people are likely to get mad. The code of conduct is in place to keep Wikipedia a civil place. Thanks to the anti-vandalism folks, it largely stays that way. :) --mariusstrom 23:00, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you got the point. Civility is a major factor of the wiki community. --Hirohisat ^Talk 00:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

5.Wikipedia does not have firm rules

Sometimes an article would do well with violating all of the standard rules. I can't come up with a good example of where this is applied, but I'm sure it happens. --mariusstrom 23:00, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, it happens all the time! The point is that the rules can be ignored if they block building a encyclopedia, if it's verified and not an original research, though. --Hirohisat ^Talk 00:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Adoption task #2

Okay, since you finished your 1st assignment pretty sucessfully, here's the second assignment...We will be doing vandal fighting!

I want you to go to the following page User:MariusStrom/monobook.js. Add the script below.

// [[User:Lupin/popups.js]]

importScript('User:Lupin/popups.js');

Save the page and then delete your cache. Now when you highlight an internal link it will popup. This makes vandal fighting easier. Then I want you to read WP:WARN, WP:REVERT, WP:VAND & WP:CANVAS.

Afterwards, follow these directions.

1. Click the "Recent changes."
2. This will provide you with a list of recent edits to wikipedia. To update the list click the "go" button at the top of the page.
3. I want you to hold your mouse over the "(diff)" button next to an edit. This will show you what changed. Applying what you learned at WP:VAND, I want you to identify vandalism.
4. If you identify vandalism click the "(hist)" button beside the change that is vandalism.
5. You will be brought to a list of the edits to the article that was vandalised.
6. Now I want you to move over the date of the last edit that was not vandalism. A little popup of the previous version of the article will appear.
7. While still on the popup click the "rv" button. That will revert the vandalism to the last legit version.
8. Now go back to the history of the page, by clicking the history button at the top of the page.
9. Then click the user talk of the vandal, as shown on WP:WARN.

--Hirohisat ^Talk 04:11, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Well done. Continue with article writing and vandal fighting for a few more days. --Hirohisat ^Talk 01:35, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Assignment #3

This time, I want you to participate in WP:Rfa (Requests for Adminship) and WP:Afd (Articles for Deletion). You will be discussing if they should becomes admins, or if the page is to be deleted. Look at others' votes if you are troubled. Contact me anytime if it's nessesary and I'll try to get there as soon as possible. Good Luck! --Hirohisat ^Talk 22:53, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm back! I've been participating quite a bit in WP:AfD tonight, and will burn through some WP:RFA tomorrow. --mariusstrom 04:58, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Hehe, I'm back too. Sorry that I was wiki bunked for long. I'll be on more often then before. --Hirohisat ^初夏 02:27, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome back! I've spent a fair amount of time doing random article work (my favorite thing to do), have successfully defended an AfD , and general other work. I don't feel comfortable participating in WP:RfA yet - I don't feel I "know" the people or their characters well enough that are requesting adminship, so I don't feel I can make a qualified assessment of whether or not they should be approved. Maybe as I'm around here longer and get to know the broader community. --mariusstrom 22:07, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Holistic Information Security Practitioner

I have nominated Holistic Information Security Practitioner, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Holistic Information Security Practitioner. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. --- tqbf 05:58, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi there!

I just noticed your userbox about live search. This week it changed to Bing. I will change it for you if you like. CargoK ^{user talk} 16:38, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
