Bindeez ITN entry

Hello! Out of curiosity, why did you switch to the American spellings of "metabolizes" and "hospitalization"? —David Levy 03:05, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Great question, and I have only a poor answer, Firefox spell check. You would think that I should know better ans shouldn't have assumed spelling errors on that page, being a protected template and all, but they did look "funny" to me (being US-English native) and I made a bad fix. My primary reason for editing that entry was because it seemed that we were being to sensationalistic, and I was trying to make it more straight-fact, and didn't see the forest for the trees. I support whichever regional English variant is the most topic appropriate or has already been extensively used in the page being updated normally. Apologies, — xaosflux Talk 04:01, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanation! I'm also from the United States, incidentally.  :-) —David Levy 04:19, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Quick question

Sorry to bother you, but is there a reason why User talk:Alkivar is fully protected for the next ten years? If he comes back, he won't be able to edit it, and nobody else can leave messages there either. Videmus Omnia Talk 03:53, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to request unprotection of this page. I was doing a cleanup of pages that were protected forever[1] and changing them to some sort of dates. This user indef-protected their own page, and left the project. Other then cleaning up indef-protected pages I don't really have an interest in that page. Thank you, — xaosflux Talk 04:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply - I was planning making the request but wanted to check with you first. Videmus Omnia Talk 14:11, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Nair

Hello Xaosflux. I have seen that you protected the Nair article. I am unable to add content to the article, and I have found a suitable image for the article:

File:Nayar Pillai.jpg
Ettuveedan Nair feudal chief

Could you please add this image to the article (preferably under the section "Subcastes")

Thankyou Malayaliyan (talk) 07:08, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

CSD discussion of potential interest

There is a thread here that may be of interest to you. Just thought you should know... Cheers, Black Falcon (Talk) 19:04, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I'll stop soon

If it's all the same, I'd prefer to get them all changed over. It's a courtesy Wikipedia extends. If it is the volume that is the inconvenience then I'll limit myself to small batches at a time that has the least impact, or perform one a minute. I'm sure we can work something out. As to vanishing, once it is done I will have vanished. This isn't about vanishing in an instant. This is about vanishing in the future, and is all in keeping with courtesies, guidance and long standing practise. This has been done in the past and has never caused an issue, so if you let me know what is causing the issue here I'm sure it will be worked out. Hiding T 09:04, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Although, could you clarify how my changes are clogging up RC, and how that compares with other users of AWB? In what way do my edits affect AWB that other users do not? Is there something I am doing wrong with AWB? Hiding T 09:11, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Replied on your talk. — xaosflux Talk 12:58, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Per WP:CHU, This change will not affect signatures you have already left on talk pages, or other places where you signed your username with ~~~~ Those pages will continue to display your signature (including the link to your old username) unless edited manually. It's been done before, I just don't want to name people out of courtesy. This is needed on my part because of the way google works. How it helps build the encyclopedia is that it keeps an editor here happy. I'm not overly bothered that people on wiki know my name, that'll take time to work through and may never work through to some people. But the people who will remember are the ones who I'd probably tell my name too anyway. Also, have a look at WP:RTV regarding personal information. My name qualifies as being personal information, and it can thus be deleted or amended in keeping with Wikipedia common practise, courtesy and privacy policy. I'm not that fussed about the logs, if people are that fussed there's one log entry they can check above all others. It's the search engine results I'm bothered about. Hope that clarifies. Hiding T 13:08, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
      • As to how it improves the encyclopedia, I'm finding all sorts of half undone things in my contribs as I go. For example [2]. And don't worry about the tone of your message. Christ, I sound like a pompous arse too many times to count. It's why I stopped blocking vandals, I hated the way I sounded when warning. ;) Hiding T 13:15, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
        • (talk conflict)See your talk. — xaosflux Talk 13:18, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
          • I'm quite happy to play the long game. It doesn't actually take as long as you think it does to flush out of google, one user who has done this indicated it was a matter of months. If it is all the same to you, I'll carry on as I am. I'll be making my usual edits anyway, so Wikipedia isn't going to lose out either way. I'm sorry this matter has annoyed you and that you can't understand my reasoning, but I can only state I have very personal reasons for doing this and ask that you perhaps accept that. Certainly when I discussed this with a crat and mentioned it to arb-com there was no issue. I appreciate your concerns. Hiding T 13:29, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Moshe Rubashkin

You deleted this article a while back. I was going to create an article on him, but I saw there was an lod version. He is prety notable and is back in the news again, could you put it back please so I don't need to start from scratch? Lobojo (talk) 17:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks very much, I will sort it out tomorow. Lobojo (talk) 03:12, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


I just realised what happened, you were scammed by User:PinchasC

PinchasC logged out add made these edits: [3], he waits a few days and using his admin name puts a prod on the now stubby article. And he got away with it, because nobody was wathcing and the creator was on a wikibreak. Lobojo (talk) 03:20, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

It might not have been PinchasC, but he had edited the article in its more substantial form and was well aware that the article had been messed with and at the very least was taking advantage of the situation. Lobojo (talk) 03:26, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
It's not worth the hastle, it was just a dirty trick. Small potatos. And thanks again. Lobojo (talk) 03:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Stolotchnaya photo

You put a Stolitchnaya vodka picture whitch is fake - o nthe lable is clear written "Made by SPI" History how this brand became SPI property is quite unclear - in Russia Stolitchaya belong to Soyuzplodimport. It is better to remove this pic. Or tu change to original. Real Stolitchaya was always made in Russian Krystal factory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.125.103.224 (talkcontribs)

Protecting nonexistant titles

Thanks for the note! :) I didn't know that was ready yet. Seems neat! SQLQuery me! 02:59, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for then note, I've protected the various pages listed there, and deprotected the list, but I'll still keep as reminder ;-) Snowolf How can I help? 11:39, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Protected title lists

Not really sure what to do with the old lists. I think it would be best to keep them in some form so that someone can figure out who originally wanted the page title protected... Any thoughts? --MZMcBride (talk) 04:13, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I think I'm going to switch the lists from using {{protected title| to using {{la| (or perhaps some variant) so that a list is available to see while still deactivating the cascading protection. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 04:26, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

re: MediaWiki:Newarticletext

At MediaWiki_talk:Newarticletext you wrote "It is typically preferable not to use images in the interface messages." Is that a prohibition, a strong preference by previous consensus, or a mild preference? Unless it is a technical prohibition, I'm inclined to discuss it (the inclusion of the image) at VPP.

FYI, I'm going through all the namespace selector stuff and preparing a full replacement. The thing is rather complex and I'm planning to simplify the coding. The end result would be larger but easier to read and modify in the future. It will initially produce the same results in all contexts as today but in the long run we might change the message text for other namespaces, i.e. different text for Templates, Categories, Portals, etc. Sbowers3 (talk) 01:24, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Do you know if there is a technical reason for using html markup such as "<ul><li>" instead of Wikipedia markup? Sbowers3 (talk) 01:29, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I've been using Special:ExpandTemplates to test the message. First I couldn't get the table to appear so I took out the table code. Then without the table code the image and text overlapped slightly. There may have been a way to make it work but I decided for simplicity's sake to remove the image.
Now I'm waiting for feedback on the other messages - the ones that aren't for article space. Then I'll finish the new version and test it offline as best as I can, before we test it live. Sbowers3 (talk) 01:30, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
The proposed text is at MediaWiki_talk:Newarticletext#Proposed_text. Sbowers3 (talk) 00:29, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
An update is at MediaWiki_talk:Newarticletext#Revised Jan. 8. Sbowers3 (talk) 23:57, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Bot

Hello. Since you are in the BAG, I thought I should ask you some questions. I would like to create 2 bots. One bot will remind everyone who forgets their edit summaries to put an edit summary. (I have a message that it should put). Another bot will redirect articles of geography. For example: Concord Nh would be redirected to its original article (Concord, New Hampshire). Can you help me out creating these two bots? I really think this would be a good idea, you help would be appreciated. Ohmpandya (Talk) 20:38, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:FreakyIce.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:FreakyIce.PNG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

I noticed your use of {{hidden}} at User talk:Inclusionist was broken, so I fixed it.

MfD date headers

I did not mean within the page, but it does not always work right to link to a certain date from another page because of user date preferences. Depending on the user, the headings can be different, and therefore a static link link does not always work. DO you have another idea on how to achieve this?

Category: AIDS Reappraisal

I'm not extraordinarily well versed in CfD policy, but if a category is empty, doesn't it meet CFD#1 criterion, making it eligible for deletion despite protest?

I REALLY appreciate it

Hello again. I know indefinitely blocking me is a two second process, having my own wikis, but this two second process really helps me in my real life to be so much happier. Wikipedia makes me so frustrated and angry anymore.

Could you please indefinitely block me again? Hopefully this time I won't come back. I was thinking of committing wiki-suicide, by breaking the rules so people will block me indefinitely, but that isn't fair to everyone here on wikipedia if I do that.

Thank you so much for doing this for me. Inclusionist (talk) 01:44, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

User:Inclusionist

We don't usually do courtesy blocks (see WP:BLOCKME). There are reasons why courtesy blocks are a bad idea. If someone wants a self-imposed break, there's a nice Java tool called the Wikibreak Enforcer that I've occasionally used. Raymond Arritt (talk) 00:54, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm aware, but am willing to entertain these upon special request. — xaosflux Talk 01:37, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
OK, just wanted to make sure. More pointedly, I think it was a bad idea in this particular case but it's not worth making a fuss. Best - Raymond Arritt (talk) 01:39, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Other then entertaining the block, I'm not involved in any other matter with this user, and would certainly not wheel if any other admin wants to reverse this. Thank you, — xaosflux Talk 01:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
If you look at block history for User:Kim Bruning, who used to be an administrator and voluntarily gave up the bit, he was blocked, apparently at his request, so that he'd not be tempted to edit Wikipedia instead of finishing up other work. So it's been done. WP:BLOCKME doesn't give any reason and only states that "typically, such requests are refused." There is a request for a reason for this in Talk for that project page. No response. Given that a block can easily be undone, and the user is requesting it, I'd support granting the request, if the admin is inclined. The block summary should state that it is at the user request. I'd suggest that language be put on the user Talk page, by the user, as to unblock conditions. When the user wants to be unblocked, he could place an unblock request there; I think the idea would be that this would place just enough obstacle that he won't go to the trouble unless he's really decided to come back. If he really wants to go away, it's simpler if he spikes the account, i.e., scrambles the password. He could still get it back, but it takes some correspondence to get a new password (this is typically done by disabling email first, so that he can't recover a password automatically.)
But I'll speculate as to the reason it is discouraged: all this involves some effort, even if small, by admins. And it doesn't help the project. And it doesn't stop the user from coming back, it takes a minute to create a new account. Here is what I'd suggest to him. Make a complicated password, write it down on a piece of paper. Make it something he isn't going to remember. Disable email. And place that paper somewhere hard to get, perhaps with a friend or relative. He won't be able to come back on a whim, not without talking to someone about it. He won't have access to his watchlist, until he gets his password back. If the paper is lost, he can still regain access with some hassle, through the admins who handle such things. Of course, he could do some vandalism, though that's unreliable, or perhaps drop an image of an upraised finger on User:Jehochman's talk page, or propose serious Wikipedia reform and then write a hoax article, these have gotten some indef blocked quickly. But it's kinda rude, or most of it is. The reform part, not, but it just gives those with block buttons some extra incentive. --Abd (talk) 03:56, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Wow! I just looked. This editor has almost 27,000 edits, goes back to September 2005. I see that he has over 3,000 deleted contributions. Deletions piss people off. There are quite a few long-time editors who have left over similar issues. It's so unnecessary. The encyclopedic project should be about categorization, not about inclusion/exclusion. It's a huge error that is gradually eroding the project, building up massive reservoirs of ill will: what's it like to spend many hours on an article that you believe a notable topic, only to find it deleted, perhaps when you aren't looking? Happens all the time. With naive users, they don't even know what happened, all they know is that it isn't there, it's gone from their contributions. Pure Wiki Deletion is one proposal that's been made, there are others. Flagged Revisions makes it possible to have layers of notability, with a bottom layer that is essentially a trash bin and isn't outside-searchable. Etc. Ah, if wishes were horses. --Abd (talk) 04:08, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Your revert

I don't mind, see Wikipedia:BN#RBAG and User talk:Chris G for relevant discussion. Basically, I felt it was canvassing to place notices on a bunch of noticeboards (funny wording), especially in Chris' case, since it wasn't at the beginning of the RBAG and Chris' nomination is pretty close. But like I said, I don't care enough to pursue it. And just to address your comment about a descriptive edit summary, rollback is faster, and right after I reverted the edits, I notified the user in question. That would be my explanation, as I feel an edit summary is a little impersonal, and like I said, rollback is a lot easier. « Gonzo fan2007 (talkcontribs) @ 02:46, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Ehh, I consider canvassing very unproductive, but I guess that's a question of taste. And don't worry about it, like I said earlier, it would be pretty WP:LAME of me to continue a dispute about this between two admins.

Hi there. Could you reconsider your speedy deletion of this page please? According to the Google cache, the article said that he plays for NK Široki Brijeg, who play in the top division of their national league, so the article certainly asserted notability. This link confirms that he does indeed play for them. I should also draw your attention to the fact that it was mentioned here Best, Iain99Balderdash and piffle 23:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Thanks. I'm not much of an expert on Bosnian football (I can't even read most of the Google hits), but I've cleaned it up a little. I know it's a bit non-descript, but I believe there's longstanding precedent that players in national top leagues get articles (WP:ATHLETE, WP:FOOTYN and plenty of AfDs like this one). I've removed the prod as I suspect that it would pass an AfD, though I'm willing to be proved wrong. Cheers, Iain99Balderdash and piffle 00:45, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I posted on Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Moshe_Rubashkin about an article that you edited. Please, could you go there and comment on the situation? --Enric Naval (talk) 22:24, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

RE:{{Watchlist-notice}}

I saw your edits and just wanted to let you know that js doesn't currently allow multiple watchlist-message elements, so only one dismiss link is presented. Just thought you would like to know. « Gonzo fan2007 (talkcontribs) @ 01:50, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello I saw you here and I was wondering if you could grant me rollback. My 1RR ArbCom enforcement ends today and I would like to have this to undo vandalism and mistakes. I had this and lost it earlier due to two reverts in a day. Of course, this is pretty low-level back-and-forth and I'm no longer on 1RR. -Justin (koavf)TCM07:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
