Changes for Sodalitium Christianae Vitae

Dear Gurch:

Please forgive my English because is not my first language. I am in charge of the Office of Comunications of the Sodalitium in Peru (the SCV was founded in Lima - Peru).

I was the one who make changes in this item becuase it doesn ´t adjust to reality.

I think that a serious work for Wikipedia, the versions or statements, specially the offensives to the good reputation of a institution, should be sustained, and also may not be anonymous. In this case, the paragraphs that I deleted accused us that we hace a fascism origin. There wasn´t any demonstration of that statement and was anonymous.

I put the links of officials web sites of the Sodalitium but also I can put many others from catholic sites that endorses our good reputation.

I consider that is unfair that some people use Wikipedia to put their suspicions or their particular point of view.

Well, I can discuss with anyone these version and you can visit our site in spanish www.noticiasdelsodalicio.com

with my regards,

Re: User:Filmfan1971

Hi, you messaged me yesterday about how a user was a confirmed sock puppet of a banned user and thus blocked indefinately. I've since received a message from this user's account. If conveinient, could you be kind enough to review wheather this account User:Filmfan1971 is actually blocked? I'd appreciate this, as this user has caused many months of problems (violations of 3RR, vandalism, civility, personal attacks, conventions and official consensus etc), hence his banning. I'm messaging yourself as I don't think it's appropriate that I should present the evidence twice! Thanks, Jhamez84 19:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I don't know why it does that. Sometimes when I save the edit the gubernatorial section disappears and I have to revert it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Medleysoul (talk • contribs) 07:04, 25 June 2006 (UTC).

Comment from 68.81.234.250

I didn't change anything, it was always empty. I simply clicked "Edit this page", cleard it, saved it, clicked BACK (thereby restoring the text) and saved it again. It was always that blank. There was nothing ever there.

Comment from Andygower

The thing is, i'm not Andrew.......I made my username after him because he's cool.......I was adding stuff because you don't have anything on him other than a link to JagEx......is that so wrong to add stuff to his page? Especially when it's not insulting and the page is practically empty?

Deleting content from pages?

Hi, in regards to the comment you left on my talk page about blanking content - I appear to be having an issue that you've pointed out where all the content in the edit box gets cut-off at a certain point (therefore, clicking submit will post the page with everything after the cutoff missing). Is this an issue with Wikipedia or is it something on my end? Further investigation shows me it's happening wherever I click edit and the page if over a certain length. Regards.

Blocked

Sir, Why have you blocked me from editing, for the second time? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by K7jetto (talk • contribs) 03:07, 28 June 2006.

A blocked user with question

Please could you explain why I've been blocked. As I can truthfull tell I've been blocked for two days now. When attempting yesterday to edit a page it said my IP was blocked and with my sister having an account I though she just had gotten the IP an 24 hour block but when attempting to edit the page today after creating a username for myself it still said I was blocked but now indefinently. I've done my fair sare of editting and helping but now with the blocking of my IP I'm wondering was it me, my sister or was it a mistake.

My account is Acerima —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Acerima (talk • contribs) 18:39, 28 June 2006.

Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by Gurch for the following reason (see our blocking policy): Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Wikopediaescommulismon Vheels". The reason given for Wikopediaescommulismon Vheels's block is: "username". Your IP address is 64.12.117.13.

thats what I find when I try to edit. Yeah my IP adress is shared I believe seeing as it sometimes changes I believe seeing as I use AOL. Don't know who this Vheels is though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Acerima (talk • contribs) 19:29, 28 June 2006.

re: your recent campaign to bypass cross-namespace redirect using AWB

Please stop. There is no policy-level decision that unambiguous cross-namespace redirects of this nature are inherently bad. (If there is such a decision and I'm just not aware of it, I would ask you to please point me to that decision.) The redirect you are currently working on is, based on my own review, only used in the Talk space and is universally used in a context such that no user following it would reasonably expect to see an encyclopedia article.

Per Wikipedia:Redirect#Don't fix links to redirects that aren't broken, your automated edits are throwing a burden onto the system for no benefit. In addition to the system burden, your edits are triggering the watchlists of hundreds of users. It's not an efficient use of anybody's time.

Thanks. Rossami (talk) 21:45, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your considerate response. Using AWB or a bot to fix typos is, in my opinion, entirely justified. It triggers all our watchlists but that's approproate because it is making identifiable improvements to the encyclopedia. You are fixing something that was broken.

On the topic of cross-namespace redirects, I have traded messages withRory096 Over the past week or so. Rory points to clauses on two guideline pages, WP:ASR and Wikipedia:Redirect. I disagree with his interpretation of those pages. That interpretation was tested during a recent Deletion review discussion about the redirect, be bold. We most recently traded comments at the bottom of Talk:Be bold#Results. I am awaiting his response. I didn't realize he was on wiki-break so I suppose I'll have to wait a while.

As you say, Cyde also has a very strong opinion on this topic. Unfortunately, I have so far been unsuccessful in engaging him in civil conversation.

I do believe that the project should hold a wider discussion on the question of whether cross-namespace redirects are inherently bad. I'm not yet sure whether this should be a Village Pump discussion or whether a separate project page would be better. I'm trying to let the be bold dispute settle out before offering it, though. I think we'll get better discussion once we all have a chance to cool down.

By the way, what template did you use when you added Rory's username on my page? I've often wanted to easily link to a user's contribution history. That would be very helpful in some of the vandalism watch work. The {{vandal}} tag is helpful but sometimes overkill. Thanks again for your note. Rossami (talk) 22:38, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to add the short note that using assisted editing for anything even slightly controversial seems bad form to me. It seems to be a resort to force when reason fails.
brenneman ^{L} 01:09, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Waiting for a response...

I am still waiting for a response from you regarding the questions now located here. Thanks in advance!! — Super-Magician (talk • contribs • count) ★ 20:22, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

All right, the edit link looks much better - thanks! Do you think you could do the same for some of my other edit links (only if you have time)?

For the nth edit thing, I think you are mistaken about the user contributions list. Let's say you set the limit to '500'. When you click the 'oldest' link, the page you see does not have 500 edits listed. It actually has (total number of edits - 500k) edits, where k is some integer.

Also, I'd like an answer on my second question on that page (regarding the StormStatus template). I'm sorry if I'm giving you too much work.

Thanks. I sincerely appreciate everything! — Super-Magician (talk • contribs • count) ★ 15:47, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I think you mean click on '500', then 'Oldest'. Anyway, I got it, thanks.

Um, on my computer, the StormStatus template still looks left-aligned. Would it be much work for you to help me rewrite the template to remove the infobox borders? — Super-Magician (talk • contribs • count) ★ 17:24, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

{{Extra chronology}}

I have reverted your recent edit to {{Extra chronology}} becuase it broke a large number of pages using {{Infobox Single}} and other templates. It is vital that you are careful when editing high-visibility templates, and caution should be exercised anyway when editing a protected page – this page is both of those things. I don't know exactly what caused the error, but I do know that having thousands of pages displaying broken markup even for ten minutes is a bad thing. Please test new template code first before applying it to a "real" template. Thanks – Gurch 13:13, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

If the problem was with {{Infobox Single}} as you say, fair enough, but in that case you should have edited {{Infobox Single}} first and then {{Extra chronology}}. Leaving 1% of the entire encyclopedia (yes, we have a lot of music articles) broken isn't really an option. Thanks again – Gurch 16:40, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, but short note to say it was broken would've sufficed. The lecture is a little patronising, I did create those templates, so I'm aware of the implications. Thanks, ed g2s • talk 16:55, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if I'm coming across as patronising, but somewhere along the line something has gone wrong. Your latest edit (17:00 UTC) to {{Infobox Single}} broke all articles using {{Extra chronology}} again. This time, it was reverted by somebody else; however the template now seems to be broken for all articles without {{Extra chronology}}. Please fix whatever is broken, or revert back to the latest working revision. Having broken markup – meaningless to most readers – at the top of 10,000 articles is as bad as having 10,000 vandalised articles. If this is not fixed soon, I will be forced to favour a working template over cosmetic changes and revert everything that was done today, in the interests of our readers. Thank you – Gurch 17:36, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

The last version was working (I think). Perhaps you need to purge the pages you are looking at. ed g2s • talk 17:49, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding a CSD A7 deletion

I created a page for Andre Lucas today, and noticed in the logs that you had done a previous CSD A7 deletion on an article of the same name just a few weeks ago. Is there a problem with Lucas as a subject, or was it just a crappy article? Or maybe an article about a completely different person... (Lucas was the commanding officer of the last major battle fought by the US in Vietnam, in which he was KIA, awarded the CMOH, has a school named after him, is a major player in at least two history books, as well as mentions in other publications and television history segments).

Re: Current Events Portal Redesign

The bold pastel blue would be good. Also, those double-borders are a bit weird. Make the outer (blue) border a bit narrower – Gurch 13:45, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I know that if something like this happens, measures could be taken - but neither do I want to give that much trouble to Wikipedia, nor would (most definately) anyone Support me after that.

Closing of Aetherometry RfD

I just noticed that you closed my RfD for the Aetherometry redirect with a result of no consensus. This seems rather strange to me, since according to the RfD page the default if there is no other discussion is to delete, and the only discussion going on in the RfD was rather off-topic, about whether and article should be created for Aetherometry or not. That discussion has nothing to do with the RfD - the reason for the RfD was was because the target article, Aether theories, had nothing to do with Aetherometry, despite the names, since Aetherometry has very little, in fact, to do with aether at all. --Philosophus ^T 09:08, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

More on my page?

I noticed you removed the borders on my templates a few days ago, but I wasn't sure if you were finished working yet or not.

Anyway, I know I've given you a lot of work, and I'm sorry for that, but I ask just two more favors, if you will. Can you help me make the width of the StormStatus template the same as the width of the box enclosing it (on my revision page)? In addition, for my index, I'd like to hide the sub-subpages, like /Main/Old and /StormStatus/Default, etc. I had trouble editing it though.

Thanks so much! — Super-Magician (talk • contribs • count) ★ 22:21, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

spelling change

What on earth are you doing changing British English spellings to American English on British and Irish topics? Please follow the rules on Wikipedia. American spellings on American pages; British spellings on British pages. On pages belonging to neither, the spelling chosen by the original writer. Any replacement of British spellings on British pages, or American spellings on American pages, will simply be reverted on sight. FearÉIREANN\^(caint) 22:10, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

No problem. Sorry if I overreacted a bit. Other things on my mind right now. Apologies. FearÉIREANN\^(caint) 22:11, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I meant to explain further. When your name showed up with a bot in it I thought we had a malfunctioning bot on the loose — or worse still one let loose deliverately to add in spelling changes. Bots are becoming increasingly annoying because a fair few of them have errors in them. It is only a matter of time before one with a serious (maybe deliberate) error is released and causes havoc. My first reaction was — oh shit. An American English bot. That is all we need! Again my apologies for what I said. I should have used the nice neutral calm template for language changes of WP:TT which I myself wrote. Oh well. Lesson learnt. (or as Americans would say: lesson learned.) FearÉIREANN\^(caint) 22:53, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

And my apologies too for my involvment in this whole debacle (for the uninformed, my DSCL is to blame!). Hopefully we won't have any american english bots any time soon. Although I derived that entire list from the common misspellings for machines list in the WP namespace, so that might need updating. --Draicone ^(talk) 08:15, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

archive pages are not routinely protected

Why exactly is this? I really think they should. Myrtone

Re your comment, I suggest that the list of protected pages be split up, indefinetly protected pages already have their own list, so I though, why not do the same with {{sprotected}}pages, I also beleive that category:Protected deleted pages is also getting large and I suggest that protected deleted templates (since they make up a large portion) get their own subcategory here. Maybe protected userpages and usertalkpages should get their own list(s)/category/catgories. And a note on doublethink, you say that the number need to be minimised just becuase of the purpose of wikipedia (that anyone can edit), but yet some pages are not sopposed to be edited (especially not by non-admins). It may well seem logical that if a page is not sopposed to be edited (or not by any non-admins), it should be protected. Myrtone

WP:RFBOT

Your bot request has been approved by User:Bluemoose. Your bot is not currently flagged, so edits should be restricted to less then 3/min, and marked as minor. If you require faster editing, please ping me or Bluemoose. — xaosflux ^Talk 02:25, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I've approved your bot for a flag, we are currently awaiting a 'crat to set it. Once flagged you can edit fast, but you should still limit editing to prevent server hogging, especially during peak teims (m-f 04:00-17:00) to less than 5/6 edits a min, off-peak you can go around 10-12/min, faster than that though is still not good. Faster than that generally required multithreading your edits, and that can cause other odd issues, especially if you don't have a lot of sanity checking in place. Keep an eye on the bot page, or the bot log to see when you flag is set. — xaosflux ^Talk 20:45, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Willy on Wheels article

Dear Gurch

I noticed in the deletion log [[2] ]that you deleted this article Long term abuse/Willy on Wheels and the shortcut WP:WoW, in your summary you state that i was simply a redirect, before that I seem to remember that it was an article about the vandal containg his modus operandi and known IPs. I looked like somthin like this WP:LTA/MG, it seems that there is someone deleting/changing/vandalizing subpages of the Wikipedia:Long term abuse page. Currently I seem not to be able to locate theese subpages beaides the WoW

• Wikipedia:Long term abuse/Johnny the Vandal
• Wikipedia:Long term abuse/CapnCrack
• Wikipedia:Long term abuse/The Airport Vandal

So since you did the deletion of the WoW page are you aware of them being moved to somwhere else? or is there a policy behind theese deletions? or is some form of vandalism?

Long-Overdue RfA Thanks from Alphachimp

Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which was successful with a an overwhelmingly flattering and deeply humbling total of 138/2/2 (putting me #10 on the RfA WP:100). I guess infinite monkey theorem has been officially proven. Chimps really can get somewhere on Wikipedia. With new buttons come great responsibility, and I'll try my best to live up to your expectations. If you need assistance with something, don't hesitate to swing by my talk page or email me (trust me, I do respond :)). The same goes for any complaints or comments in regard to my administrative actions. Remember, I'm here for you. (Thanks go to Blnguyen for the incredible photo to the right.) alphaChimp laudare 01:32, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Re: speedy tag on Talk:Imre Kertész

I am not sure what happened. I got to the article page via a list of wikify tagged articles. When I arrived, there was nothing on the page, but then I saw the talk page full of info and thought it got missed in a deletion process somewhere. I followed the link you provided in your edit and it came back to the same missing article page as before. I had to use the purge feature on the page and the text came up. I have never had that happen before. Thanks.--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 22:04, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
