Your message

I agree that users are allowed to delete messages from their Talk pages, though the guidelines point out that it's generally frowned upon. What they can't do, though, is insist that others don't leave messages, as happened here. So yes, in a way they are forced to receive messages; what they then do with the messages is more open. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 15:48, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Discussion on events related to your current RfA

Please respond here on your talk page to keep the thread together. Do you support an edit like this? Do you think that opposing your RfA quote "reflects badly" on me? I notice that some of my contributions have been closely scrutinized over the past day. Today was the first time in over a year and a half than one of the articles that I started received an AfD nomination, and there were 2. I am not saying that you personally did any of this, because clearly you didn't. Wikipedia should be a place to have fun doing editing and creating the world's best encyclopedia, not a source of stress. I would like your opinion on what you think about these developments. Do you think that I should cave in under pressure? How would it make you feel if I did? What would you do if you were in my shoes? Royalbroil T : C 20:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Usurpation questions

WJB - Yes to both of your questions: 'Vaya' is too new, and I have no qualms about giving away 'Basil' to somebody who will make good use of it. I don't think we need a hard minimum age for the target account -- common sense will, as so often, suffice -- but it seems only fair to leave the newer accounts alone. Thanks as ever for drawing attention to these issues; your help is invaluable. — Dan | talk 21:28, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

A wikignome got 'gnomed

Thank you. I was composing a note for Wikipedia:Village pump (technical), and when I went to test my assertions (of brokenness), the link worked! Having copied from the current pages, I'd copied the link after you fixed it. You had me flummoxed. But I'm used to it (computer wonk) and so went looking and found your note. Now I know the 'magic'.   :-)   Thanks! Shenme 04:26, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

No prob, I tried quite a few options before I worked out why your link didn't work :-). WjBscribe 04:28, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks For The Welcome

ICUDocMD 17:01, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I hate to bother you WJB, but we have more people vandalising the Anesthesia article. Removing documented links, portions of information which were backed up with evidence which we already discussed. I appreciate your help in this matter, and hope these issues are resolved so we can all get back to more important matters! Thank You ICUDocMD 15:52, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Mr. Example

Ahem! ;-) —Миша13 14:17, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem at all. I just browsed through the bot's execution logs and noticed that page bail out with a "security error", meaning someone tried to archive to a page that's not a strict subpage. And I very much prefer to iron out any now-and-then bugs this way than handle the numerous requests myself. Cheers, Миша13 14:28, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

RFA Thanks

I would like to thank you for your support in my recent RFA. As you may or may not be aware, it passed with approximately 99% support. I ensure you that I will use the tools well, and if I ever disappoint you, I am open to recall. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to leave me a note on my talkpage. Thanks again, ^demon[omg plz] 20:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Your RFA

Just a quick note to say well done in your RFA. – Steel 21:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC) (Yes, I am aware this is a little early; I don't plan on being around tomorrow to congratulate you then.)

RfA nomination

Hi, your RfA nomination is overdue, so you may need to ask a bureaucrat to close it for you. — zero » 02:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Dunstan

No, he does not. We know Dunstan lived with his partner. I assume he probably was gay. But he never spoke about it during his lifetime, and thus we have no business coming to our own conclusion that he was. Rebecca 03:38, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Portal Automation

  • prods* You still on it? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 13:40, 25 March 2007 (UTC)


But before you do that, can you GA review Washington Blade? Jtowns has been waiting a very long time on GAC now. Why have all our processes suddenly become so backlogged? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 17:53, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Right, GA review first. Then I'll get back to sorting the Portal (which I had indeed been distracted from). Aye, aye captain... WjBscribe 22:31, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
WJB -- I have made the suggested changes to the article Washington Blade and addressed your GA concerns on the talk page. I am around the rest of today, but out of town the next three days -- so if you have more for me, I may have a slower turn-around sicne I have no internet access where I am going. Thanks for the help and review. :) Please let me know what else I can/should/need to do for the article. jtowns 14:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

AIV report on User:Judygarlandishot

You reported this as a username vio and Netsnipe apparently agreed with you. Could you explain what in WP:UN is being violated? It's not defamatory, not an impersonation, and the subject is long-deceased. —dgiestc 17:06, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Here are the true admin facts you need to know:
  1. Remember you will always protect the wrong version.
  2. Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. You will always pick the wrong one to do. (See #5)
  3. Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll.
  4. Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block.
  5. Remember when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology.
  6. and finally, Remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, and I will do what I am able.

User:AndreaCunkwin

Did you check the diff of the vandalism? --Dweller 15:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, one act of vandalism replacing the word "writer" with "cunt", for which you warned them. Doesn't seem to relate to the username. WjBscribe 16:01, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
lol, I see username "Andrea Cunkwin" as being a typo on "Andrea Cuntwin", given that the user inserted the word "cunt" in Andrea Dorkin's biog. Should I assume good faith? Or give the benefit of the, erm, typo? --Dweller 16:08, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
mmm, given the militant way RFCN defends vandals' usernames I don't think that I'd get away with that as my block reason :-). If they carry on vandalising they can blocked on that basis... WjBscribe 16:17, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
lol. It's a policy page where policy is generally ignored. --Dweller 16:46, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for removing my name from the AIV noticeboard. I have been working on the List of vaudeville performers for about 2 weeks and I was innocently adding categories.

re: Elona RFD

Yeah, as nominator, I think it's fine for you to close it. That would be same as if you withdrew the nomination and then I changed it to a disambig afterwards. I'm not sure why someone hasn't closed that one yet. -- JLaTondre 02:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Bus images

Delete them, unfortunately; there is no evidence that these were ever correctly licensed for us. Jkelly 03:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but it is still unfortunate, in terms of the time spent uploading them and now deleting them, on top of issues of having failed to credit someone's work and misleading reusers. I was hoping for a better ending to this one. Jkelly 03:53, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, new admin!

There's a note on my talk page from User:Coryarlo regarding Sexually transmitted disease. Evidently that page gets vandalized often - surprise surprise!

Mike Cox photo

Do you know why Mike Cox 1.jpg was deleted? I noticed you have removed it from the three pages it was on. Jjmillerhistorian 11:07, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

db-userreq

I noticed you deleted User:Parker007/article as {{db-userreq}}. You might be interested to know that it contained the entire history of said user's talk page. For that reason, I restored the content, and history-merged it back to his talk page, then move-protected his talk page to prevent a repeat incident, then deleted the trailing redirect. —freak(talk) 06:10, Mar. 28, 2007 (UTC)

The bus images

Thanks for clearing them out, I was going to batch them last night, but it got a bit too late and I had to go to sleep. I created that category to be able to run it via pywikipedia with this query:

python delete.py -cat:'Candidates for speedy deletion - Bus images'
-summary:'image taken from www.busesatwork.co.uk and needs to be deleted' -always

But I didn't get a GO/NO GO from any other admin so I fell asleap instead. AzaToth 13:07, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

request for you to consider closing

My adoptee brought a problem user to my attention, and looking into their contribs I found this nomination which they registered to create. With the response in the AFD, and coverage like the CBC, I'm predicting a 100% chance of WP:SNOW. coelacan — 01:36, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Closed. Seems to have been a disruptive nom- very poorly argued notability criticisms, overwhelming keep consensus. WjBscribe 01:46, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: history merge

Thanks for pointing out Fleur de Lys (superhero). As far as I can tell nothing happened. This should be easy - just need to restore the original at Fleur de Lys and move it over the former redirect page, crediting User:E-Kartoffel with the move in the edit summary. The other history at Fleur de Lys (superhero) is me figuring out the redirect months ago, and it doesn't need saving. Gimmetrow 19:42, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

User:E-Kartoffel did a cut-and-paste move from Fleur de Lys to Fleur de Lys (superhero). The edits on Fleur de Lys should be moved; the edits on Fleur de Lys (superhero) don't matter and could be over-written. (The previous move history is logged in the history of Fleur de Lys.) The talk page should be moved as well; I could do that but there is no reason for a redirected talk page to remain. Gimmetrow 19:59, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

AfD Closure

Hello. Let me begin by saying that I am not trying to question your decision on closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DKP. To be honest there wasn't really much support for deleting it. Nor am I asking for you to overturn your decision! Mainly I am curious why you chose to close it as a keep decision when a large number of the keep !votes did not attempt to address the issues brought up in the debate and offered no substantive reasoning for their opinions - I was pretty sure this one would have gone down as a no consensus due to the lack in terms of cosntructive debate on the topic. I'm sorry if I'm belaboring the topic, I just would like to understand your thoughts as the closing administrator if only for my own enlightenment. Thank you! Arkyan(talk) 22:38, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I think its best to avoid no consensus closes where possible. Although a number of comments were from sole-purpose-accounts, the only delete opinion other than your nomination was a weak one. Most of the other keep opinions suggested that the article should be cleaned up rather than deleted outright. I thought the balance of the (admitedly poor) discussion was on the keep side. Obviously you are free to cleanup the article and remove unsourced and OR material. And the result does not proclude a fresh AfD in a couple of months should you feel that necessary. WjBscribe 00:25, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Heroes

I noticed the user wasn't involved in the dispute so I figured no big deal. Feel free to reprotect, I don't feel strongly either way. John Reaves (talk) 01:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

While we're on the subject! Can you breeze through my edit history really quick and give your opinion on how I'm doing on stuff?

Hello, if it wouldn't be too difficult for you to do, merging their history would be great, thanks. Congratulations on your RfA, by the way. I tend to participate only with RfAs that I feel strongly about, or in cases where I feel an editor doesn't know what he/she is getting into (such as an editor who has newly registered).

Why did you delete the article named "Free Minds"???

It came as a shoc to me when i saw the article deleted as i wanted to visit it today. I cannot find any reasons as to why that article was deleted. Why has this been done? user:jonnyk1982

The article was deleted following its nomination for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Free Minds. It was listed there for over a week and there was a consensus that it should be deleted. It was felt that the subject of the article was not sufficiently notable (see WP:WEB for the relevant policy) and in particular that there was a lack of non-trivial mentions in reliable sources to confirm that the subject of the article was sufficiently important for inclusion on Wikipedia.

MAN why did u ignore those????!!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Idmkhizar (talkcontribs) 23:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

I did not, but deletion discussions are not votes. It is the qaulity of the argument that is important. The comments ont he talkpage did not give any policy-based reason for keeping the article. In particular, they did not give examples of reliable sources that had covered the subject of the article. The fact that some people would like an article to be on Wikipedia is not enough. We require outside evidence to confirm that the subject is important. We cannot make that determination- if impartial sources have covered the subject, we include it. If not, we don't.

Newsletter?

Dev seems to be busy with RL. I'm posting to a couple people to see if anyone wants to contribute anything to the newsletter, since it should go out. Feel like writing anything? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 06:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note- I've added an item about the Portal. WjBscribe 17:37, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
