Sebwhite's RFA

Sorry if it seemed like I was being pointy, I wish I could have better explained my gut concern there. Oh well, no big deal I suppose. Doc Quintana (talk) 00:02, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

A question for you...

See discussion at User:MacMed/RFA note.--Unionhawk Talk E-mail Review 23:49, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Stewardship

I see that they also can desysopp any administrator, and have any other privileges related to the ArbCom. Do you think that there is a place anywhere on Wikipedia which provides the requests for stewardship?----Boeing7107isdelicious|Sprich mit meine Piloten 03:58, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

You would do this at meta, but, stewardship is an elected position. I don't know when the next stewardship elections are. See meta:Stewards/Elections. Unless you have a bunch of contributions on a unified account, I don't exactly see you as a stewardship candidate...--Unionhawk Talk E-mail Review 12:49, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

For remaining cool headed, sensible and reasonable in heated disputes. You have what it takes to one day be an administrator in my opinion. Literaturegeek | T@1k? 23:34, 10 November 2009 (UTC)


Seconded. Let me know when it's up for a !vote. (I usually don't follow those RfAs.) - Hordaland (talk) 07:14, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Expert request sorting

I saw your name on Wikipedia:WikiProject Expert Request Sorting. Sometimes, the expert specified in the {{expert-subject}} and {{article issues}} templates refers to an existing WikiProject, but the category for articles needing attention from that WikiProject has not been created. Do you think it's a good idea to change the templates so they put such articles into a separate category? Specific categories can then be created, and the articles will then move into those by themselves. I'm not sure how many articles this could include, but I ask anyway. Iceblock (talk) 22:19, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Go ahead and create them. Definitely add {{hiddencat}} to the category, so that the category is not shown on its member pages, as well as including it in Category:Articles needing expert attention. There's no real format for the expert sorting categories.--Unionhawk Talk E-mail Review 03:28, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
I was thinking about pages that are already tagged with a subject. There might exist some pages tagged with the right expert subject, but no category has been created, so they still reside in Category:Miscellaneous articles needing expert attention, together with all pages not tagged with an expert subject. I thought that if pages tagged with an expert subject but without a category would have been sorted in a separate category, then we always know which categories to create. (Some users may not know that a category should be created as it does not show on member pages and one is not notified.) And the first time, maybe we can sort a number of articles by just creating categories for them.
Example: A page is tagged with {{expert-subject|Goa|date=November 2009}} or {{article issues|expert=Goa|date=November 2009}}. Wikipedia:WikiProject Goa exists, but not Category:Goa articles needing expert attention. So the page is categorized in Category:Miscellaneous articles needing expert attention instead.
The page Marie Louise Marcadet is a live example – Category:Sweden articles needing expert attention does not exist.
In other words, I think of: IF WikiProject exists THEN (IF expert category exists THEN put it there ELSE put it in a separate category) ELSE put it in the miscellaneous category.
Do you think it's a good idea to sort out articles similar to the one in this example and put them in a category for tagged articles that just need a category? Iceblock (talk) 21:00, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello again. I found another approach than changing the expert templates. The tool CatScan 2.0 is able to, among other things, search a category and find pages with a specific template (in this case {{WPBannerMeta}}, which is the WikiProject banner) on their talk page. Here a link to a run on the unsorted expert category: [1]. The achieved effect is not exactly the same, but it I'm sure it's still useful. Iceblock (talk) 14:23, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
Look, I'm going to be honest, I'm not an expert in this (no pun intended). It would probably be better to ask somebody else. Sorry.--Unionhawk Talk E-mail Review 15:03, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
OK. Thanks for your time. Iceblock (talk) 15:49, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

The article International Society of Military Sciences (ISMS) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unlikely redirect not recently created. Anyone typing in the full org. name isn't likely to also type in a parenthetical acronym.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Editor review: done

Hi Unionhawk! Sorry for the delay, but I have finally got round to doing your review! I know that I said a couple of weeks that I'd do it, but got distracted!

Anyway, I've left the review for you at Wikipedia:Editor review/Unionhawk (2), hope it's OK. -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 16:57, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
