Whether 'tis nobler in the mind

Hi Reaper!

I note your previous concurrence (that it would have been better just to ignore the ANI drama) in my forthcoming RfC/U. Thanks for your past advice!

On the other hand, Justice personified has observed that jerks often distinguish themselves by ignoring RfC/Us.

Balancing these two concerns, I have made a token response. I see no reason to devote more time unless an even more respected editor would join the criticism.

File:Longfellow Bridge 2.jpg

As part of maintenance work on Commons I came across a file which was formerly File:Longfellow Bridge 2.jpg on Wikipedia. When the file was transfered, the original upload date and uploader were lost by the transferer. Would it be possible for you to provide me with a copy of the original upload log on Wikipedia? (I'll watch your talk page.)

Cheers! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 02:50, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Help

Once I have found very blatant yet honest vandalism like hither, what actions would I then partake in to better prevent the user from making such frivolous edits?--MOLEY (talk) 02:59, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Read WP:VAND, as that tells you what to do. Basically, you issue warnings from levels 1 to 4 (although, you can usually skip a level or two if the edits are blatant vandalism like that). If they do not stop after a final warning (level 4) you report them to WP:AIV, and an administrator will block him. Reaper Eternal (talk) 01:14, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

A bowl of strawberries for you!

Actually, I'm not all that busy—I've just been here for a long time, and I also revert vandalism, which results in many edits.

Thanks, but

Generally speaking, I prefer not to have my page revdeleted for something as minor and unimportant as that. There's far far worse in the page history; it's one thing to revert this stuff, but once reverted it stops being disruptive, so in my opinion such edits do not meet the revision deletion criteria. Thanks for the kind gesture, though. :-) Risker (talk) 01:13, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Why did you delete the damn page? The band needs a page, as they have just released an album and are huge now. You might think "well there wasn't much information on the page". Well guess what?

The band would have to meet the guidelines at WP:BAND to have an article. Some new bands don't meet the criteria right away, but then meet them later on. (I haven't checked this band against the guidelines.) Also you can work on a rough draft of an article in your own user space if it's not quite ready to be an article yet.

Hi. I have just deleted this per A7 and now see that you did the same and then restored it with edit summary "Wrong page". Do you see something I didn't?

I wanted to let you know I extended Treasury Tag's block to indefinite with the following edit summary: "Disruptive editing: Extending to indefinite due to violation of terms of unblock set forth by Xeno". As the terms of his unblock were quite clearly laid out less than an hour ago, I feel that his behavior since unblock has been egregious enough as to warrant the indefinite block.

Coaching?

Hey Reaper.. I hope you feel better soon.. :) I know this account doesnt have more than... 130 edits is my guess, but i have about 500 edits, both IP, and my 3 accounts(I retired the others before I got this account) and I would like to get some help with getting Rollback.. I was told more/better article edits first.. Also, I need a little help with wikicode(cant remember what its called) Thanks Libertarians Will Rule (talk) 13:49, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Basically, if you revert enough vandalism and warn the vandals after reverting, you can request rollback at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback. An admin will then usually grant you rollback if you have done a good enough job.

Feel free to ask me any questions about wikicode that you have, and I'll try to anser them! Cheers! Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:59, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

International Journal of Governance

Are you sure this could not be prodded? There's no other prod in the edit history. Only because I checked the previous logs did it become apparent that (another?) version of this article had been prodded before. As a non-admin, it's impossible to see whether this was basically the same article that was re-created or not. (In fact, the PROD policy says "Confirm that the article is eligible for proposed deletion by checking that it:

has not previously been proposed for deletion.

has not been undeleted.

has not been and is not being discussed at AfD."

None of this seems to have been the case. It was not undeleted, but recreated, and this version of the article has never been PRODded before. I don't mind too much, but I'd rather avoid going through AfD (after all, it doesn't seem to be controversial). --Crusio (talk) 17:36, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Actually, it has been previously proposed for deletion (and deleted too). However, the act of recreating a PRODed article is considered to be contesting the PROD, so it cannot be PRODed again. Cheers! Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:54, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

• Sounds all too logical. Sigh... Will have to go to AfD then. Cheers! --Crusio (talk) 18:17, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I know it's rather annoying; but at least after it gets deleted by AFD, any subsequent creations can be speedily deleted per WP:G4. Reaper Eternal (talk) 18:19, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

My user page

Hey I appreciate the thought behind protecting my user page but can you unprotect it? The pages this guy hits don't have a lot of followers: William Hope (currently protected), a couple of barely known athletes, Hellraiser 2, a terrible Steven Segal flick called Submerged, etc. His being so determined to harass me seems to make it real easy to shut him down each time he switches IPs. He's been at this for months from what I can tell. Although I think we actually have two or three different William Hope related vandals. I originally started following that page just to keep track of some vandals that were hitting other articles (Hope always makes it into their rotation). Millahnna (talk) 19:45, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Are you referring to your userpage, your user talk page, or both? (FYI: It's probably just one IP-hopping vandal, too.) Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:49, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

This guy only seems to hit my talk page but either way; since the pages he hits don't have a lot of watchers, its easy to spot him when he switches IPs and announces himself to me. Might as well keep it easy to intercept him.

The reason I think it's actually two different vandals is the nature of the edits. I'd have to dig back in history of a few different pages to show what I mean but basically I think there's two different obsessed with William Hope people. One is, I think, actually adding factual information but completely unsourced. It's stuff I remember reading a few years back that seems to be unavailable now and is too controversial to include in its related film articles for BLP policy reasons (Hope really hated working on Submerged, A LOT, apparently). The other just adds nonsense (the one you guys have been blocking the last two days). They could, of course, totally be the same person. It just seems like there's two different patterns. I've been tracking the Submerged stuff for about a year now. The other stuff is newer. Millahnna (talk) 20:08, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Attina Marie Cannaday

Hi. While investigating a case on WP:UAA I noticed you deleted the article Attina Marie Cannaday as an attack page or unsourced BLP. You may want to consider restoring it, as it looks like it's clearly a draft. The subject is notable, and sufficient sources for the claims are given in the article Too Young to Die?, a film loosely based on the subject. Had the author included any of those references, even as external links, there would have been no cause to delete the article. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:11, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Never mind. Upon examining the references, they wouldn't do well to support that article you deleted. I was just looking at the fact that the relevant section in Too Young to Die? had references to court cases. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:18, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Addendum: But this court case supports the allegations in the article you deleted. In fact, looking at the deleted contributions, I see that reference already exists in the article (it just wasn't linked, but that doesn't make the citation any less valid).

On that basis, you should probably restore the article and retract the warning you issued to the author. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:27, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

 Done I'm going to nominate it for deletion per WP:BLP1E and WP:CRIMINAL if evidence of notability is not added. Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:32, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Would you mind undeleting Jim Butler (politician)? You deleted it under G5, but the article has had substantial edits by multiple IPs. Nyttend (talk) 18:57, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

You can undelete it if you want, but please check it very thoroughly for copyright infringing content, since the major contributor was banned user OSUHEY (talk · contribs) under various aliases and IPs, and he commonly adds blatant copyvios. Cheers! Reaper Eternal (talk) 03:12, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Anders Behring Breivik

Just in case you didn't notice, the article survived AfD - which means it is not CSD under anything. I ask you you strike through your highly unusual denied request, in particular the aspect of never be done. This is a serious breach of administrator decorum.--Cerejota (talk) 03:50, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

I didn't say it is deletable now, I said it was deletable when you created it as an unsourced negative BLP. No, I will not strike through my denial either. I also did not say never; I said will not—it is extremely unlikely that any administrator would grant you autopatrolled when you still clearly need to have your articles patrolled. Reaper Eternal (talk) 03:09, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

It was sourced almost immediately as the history shows. I disagree with your view it was a bad creation or that it violated BLP even then - unless you read a different BLP than I do...--Cerejota ^{If you reply, please place a {{talkback}} in my talk page if I do not reply soon.} 03:27, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Holy cow...are you seriously telling me you see nothing wrong with creating this? It was then BLPPRODed, which you reverted. I initially thought it was a mistake; a bad one which obviously meant you need to have your articles patrolled, but still just a mistake. And you are telling me it was intentional? Reaper Eternal (talk) 03:31, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes there is nothing wrong with that. At the same time I removed the BLPPROD I provided sourcing as this diff shows [1], and of this happened within six minutes of article creation. I am willing to be free dof mistaken notions, so tell me what is wrong - but I think you are mistaking a personal view for policy.--Cerejota ^{If you reply, please place a {{talkback}} in my talk page if I do not reply soon.} 06:30, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Per WP:BLPREMOVE: "Remove immediately any contentious material about a living person that is unsourced or poorly sourced." That is not an essay or my opinion. That is Wikipedia's BLP policy. Reaper Eternal (talk) 11:40, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

It was sourced within six minutes into creation, and was not contentious material as the subject was in custody, and the wording said alleged (at the time, the sourcing exploded, within 10 minutes there were hundreds of sources), then or now. It would have been sourced earlier if I didn't keep ec'ing with the templates. Again, you seem to contradict WP:POLICY emphasize the spirit of the rule. Expect editors to use common sense. If the spirit of the rule is clear, say no more. - it is clear, in the context that I was meeting the rules and in the process of a continued edit. Adhering to the text, rather than spirit of a rule, is in itself a failure to follow policy. I would expect more from an admin :/ --Cerejota ^{If you reply, please place a {{talkback}} in my talk page if I do not reply soon.} 13:02, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

"It...was not contentious material." Saying somebody is an suspected mass-murderer without a source isn't contentious? Additionally, I know that Wikipedia does not enforce hard-and-fast rules, but that does not give anybody—IPs, editors, admins, crats, arbs, and even Jimbo himself—the right to add unreferenced negative biographical material. WP:BLP quite clearly states that all such material is to be removed on sight. Anders wasn't even mentioned in the main article at the time of the creation of this one either. Please note that just because something is true, that does not mean that it can be added without a source. I do not believe at all that this was a malicious attack page. I had initially thought it was a mistake (still enough to deny autopatrolled, though), but now I am beginning to worry that you do not understand the seriousness of WP:BLP. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:18, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict)You miss the point: it was for all intent an purposes, in the spirit of the policy, sourced as literally hundreds of sources were available when the article was created. The spirit of the policy is to remove poorly source material because it cannot be better sourced - in this case sourcing was trivial. Six minutes between creation and sourcing (with interruption to place talk page comment and deal with prod/csd kneejerk) cannot be interpreted as a violation of policy with any amount of good faith.--Cerejota ^{If you reply, please place a {{talkback}} in my talk page if I do not reply soon.} 13:24, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

I fully understand the seriousness of BLP, and are in fact (if you look at the BLPN archive quite conservative in terms of BLP), what I am saying is that considering a six minute period a breach of policy, in the process of edit conflicts, talkpage disputing of templates, and of sheer technical ability is seriously lacking in the good faith department - a policy you seem to regard as inferior and less serious than BLP.--Cerejota ^{If you reply, please place a {{talkback}} in my talk page if I do not reply soon.} 13:27, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Cerejota, I would suggest that you return to editing, and show by creating a couple biographies (especially one about a person who has experienced some controversy) that you not only understand but painstakingly practice WP:BLP. Then try again in a few months. The autopatrolled user-right is not a big deal. It just saves time for the new-page posse. Spending more time on this BLP issue, now in the past, is not worth the time, particularly the time of two productive editors like you and RE. Cheers,  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 15:12, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppetry

Hello there, could you take a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Juts, I suspect a sockpuppet in Nathandrobinson (talk · contribs) and Ttsilvester (talk · contribs). Nathandrobinson created the article, Ttsilvester has made only 3 edits, all of which are voting against the deletion of the article that Nathanrobinson created. Seems suspicious, thanks. 94.8.98.105 (talk) 18:24, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I think a SPI is unnecessary, as the AfD is reaching clear consensus (but I'm the nominator of that AfD, so don't trust me). --Σ _{^talkcontribs} 18:33, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't know whether socking is going on. (I only tend to block the puppets which are loudly quacking or just plain vandalizing.) You may want to raise with with a checkuser or an SPI clerk, such as MuZemike, Tnxman307, or HelloAnnyong. Good luck! Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:53, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Will you please clarify your !vote at the above RfA. Currently you have a Strong oppose !vote in the support section. It is confusing. My76Strat (talk) 13:51, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

It's fairly obviously an attempt at humour/sarcasm. If it wasn't, it would be in the oppose section. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:22, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

It's a sarcastic vote created because people oppose the process, not the candidate. Reaper Eternal (talk) 14:24, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Porchcorpter Edit Filter manager request

Hi there RE. Porchcorpter has requested edit filter rights, and I have declined the request. I believe it is far too soon after the expiration of his topic ban to be requesting advanced permissions, but I told him that if there is consensus on his talk page to re-open the request for wider review, I would do so. Your input there is welcome. Thanks, 28bytes (talk) 03:59, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

I can only echo Prodego's closure of the last request: "Resolved: No. Prodego". KuduIO is far closer than Porchcorpter to EFM, and even he was denied due to a lack of experience in Wikipedia (not regex, which he understands fine). Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:18, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Edit filter for www.jatland.com

Is it possible to create a filter that blocks additions of http://www.jatland.com ? It is a wiki and not just theoretically unreliable per WP:RS but in fact demonstrably so. I have spent much of today culling citations and external links to it from around 120 India-related articles and I just know that they're gonna reappear :( I don't know much about edit filters, not even when it is appropriate to apply the things, but some sort of mechanism would be handy. - Sitush (talk) 20:05, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Some context has been provided, and the author contested your PROD; after a fairly extensive search, however, I cannot find anything beyond the place's website.

Universal Republic

Some copyright issues(?) seem to be going on. A user moved the information from the original article (Universal Republic) to (Universal Republic Records - a redirect made previously), losing all the previous edit history. There's no dispute over the naming, as it should be Universal Republic Records (as bluntly seen in the logo on the page). So I was wondering if you could just move Universal Republic to Universal Republic Records to get this over with, so it doesn't case anymore problems.

Big and Da grande

Big has strong similarities to the Italian comedy film Da grande, produced in 1987. Da grande was directed by Franco Amurri and starred Renato Pozzetto, an actor, comedian and singer who's very popular in Italy. The film is archived by the Internet Movie Database (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0164519/) and Rotten Tomatoes (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/da-grande/).

I think this an information that should be added to the article. The fact that Da grande was not an international blockbuster is not a good reason for not mentioning it. On the contrary, that's what an encyclopaedia is for, to give people access to news and info they wouldn't get elsewhere. Thanks! --93.44.210.83 (talk) 07:26, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Thedarkfourth (talk) 06:18, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Would you consider preparing me for deeper involvement?

I've been an editor since 2005, and have roughly 15,000 edits. I underwent an early form of admin coaching a long time ago; my mentors were User:Voice of All and User:Shell Kinney. I undertook an Editor review after my coaching experience. I've long been a participant in several WikiProjects, notably the MilHist group. I don't have any featured work other than Portal:American Civil War, but have several GAs of my own and have helped a couple of lists get to featured status. Seeing the drop in amount of admins running the last few years, I feel a responsibility to step up, not so much for leadership, but for service. In thinking about this, I've been participating much more in AfD processes and doing lots of reading. Participating in those processes has taught me I can pretty much hold my own in discussion, and recently I've actually begun doing some non-admin closes (and have had two requested for reopening, which I've been happy to do, mostly because it's given me a chance to make some simple mistakes I could learn from). I can participate in WP my whole life without the mop, and maybe that's what the community will decide, but I wonder how others might feel. (Perhaps my biggest mistake is to have frequently referred to User:MONGO as one of my wikiheroes. That others might disagree with me doesn't change my warm feelings for someone who has clearly long been willing to battle for what he sees as the best interests of the pedia.) I don't think I have any wikienemies, but don't know how others feel about my experience and actions. Do you think I could make an admin? BusterD (talk) 13:05, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

I took a look over your contributions, and I think you will make a fine administrator. However, you'll have to ask Aaron Shulz/VoA whether he wants to nominate you by himself, allow me to co-nominate you with him, or let me nominate you, since he put effort into admin mentoring you. (Shell Kinney is retired, so there's no real point in asking her, as you won't get a response.) Would you mind also listing the (1) main administrative area you wish to work in, and (2) your recognized content? Thanks! Reaper Eternal (talk) 14:13, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Do you think it would derail my process too much to request MONGO to nominate? He offered to do so several years ago. BusterD (talk) 14:17, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't know how that could possibly derail it. You would probably succeed even with a self-nomination. Reaper Eternal (talk) 14:38, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the encouragement. In answer to your requests: 1) I think I should start in deletion process, since that's one area in which I feel the most comfortable, then tread lightly into other areas, perhaps AIV, protection or requested moves, places where I've already learned lessons from my own mistakes. Since I was made aware, I've been fascinated by the backlog demonstrated by this report. So I can see why I might try to delve into that stuff. I remember watching User:Gwen Gale after she first started mopping; she quickly started helping in areas she really didn't have access to before getting the bit. 2) Portal:American Civil War was built to featured status (with review help from User:Cirt), though it needs reworking now; Charles Pomeroy Stone is a subject of my research in real life, so while I was involved in the GA process and take some credit for the page, I've avoided building this up too much with primary sources; Samuel Tillman was a challenge from User:Rlevse, who was trying to fill in redlinks on a list I originally built up. There's a stack of really fine FA-type subjects in this list which that user built up to FL status. My personal best accomplishment is my involvement with Template:American Civil War, which has been a very stable and useful tool, mostly because User:Hlj partnered to do some thinking about it, both during and after creation. To honor that creation and success, I've recently created a similar template for the American Revolution. BusterD (talk) 15:01, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

I want to add one thing. I think the Wikipedian-in-residence thing at NARA is exactly the right way for the pedia to interface with RL, and I have an ambition to get such a position at NYPL, NY Historical Society, or the LOC. This putting myself forward isn't intended to be a bridge to those aspirations, however. That said, I believe local historical societies, libraries and other archives would benefit immeasurably from such semi-formal connection. BusterD (talk) 15:14, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

On second reading what I wrote just above seems Freudian. I'm going to do much more reading of policy and procedures for several days. When queried today by an admin, I failed to correctly identify CSD tags. BusterD (talk) 02:53, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

I've also got a question that I might as well ask while I remember to...why did edit filter 430 pick up this edit?

Ks0stm If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. 18:29, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

That was a false positive, the reasons for which I won't explain here because the socker attempts to obfuscate the spam around the filter. If you really want to know, please email me and I'll tell you why. Cheers! Reaper Eternal (talk) 18:51, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Nah, it's fine, I just thought it was a bit odd for a Utah Department of Transportation account getting caught in an edit filter meant for sockpuppets.

Not sure what to think of these removals. Staying out of it for now. Calabe1992 (talk) 01:57, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Requested protection for now; looks like it started to turn into a war for a moment. Calabe1992 (talk) 02:55, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

No need for protection, as both editors seem to have reached a consensus. The mass deletion confused one editor, who reverted. The deleter then explained each step of the way what he was doing, and the other editor then made a few minor changes, indicating that he agrees with the changes now.

(talk page stalker) You should request permissions at their appropriate venues (WP:RFPERM) - it'll be seen by more eyes that way.
