Right expiry

Hi Josh, do you mean to make my page mover right expire on 30th May? I think you meant to make it permeant? Lightoil (talk) 17:32, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Lightoil, I know exactly why you're asking this question. Don't worry that xtools lists the perm as set to expire on the 30th, this is a known issue when we grant permissions permanently to users who had the permission to set to expire at some point. You'll notice May 30th come and go without a change to your permissions and that expiry entry will then be removed from the right changes log on xtools. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:35, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Okay thanks for letting me know. Lightoil (talk) 17:36, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

@Lightoil: Not that I expect anything to, based on this being a known issue and I myself wondering the same thing when my new page reviewer permission was granted permanently, but if something does happen c'mon back and I'll make sure it gets fixed. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:37, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Okay thanks Lightoil (talk) 17:39, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Re: Spvg Wesseling-Urfeld moved to draftspace

Hello, how are you? While I understand that this article is lacking more references, isn’t it still acceptable for the article to be considered a stub and still be allowed in mainspace? Kind Regards, MintyFresh201 (talk) 15:47, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

@MintyFresh201: The article, in its current state, only has a single reference to the team's website. This does not show significant coverage of the subject and does not, in its current state, show that the article meets WP:GNG. Articles are typically fine to remain as stubs, provided they meet an existing notability guideline. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:49, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the clarification.

Best,

Indigenous Peoples' Day (United States)

Hi, I saw that Indigenous Peoples' Day (United States) had some pretty substantial changes made to it, including a fair amount of info removed. For example, the "Indigenous Peoples Day observers" section was cut from the article and I know it likely needed some updates, but I think showing where in the US the holiday is actually recognized was useful. Just wondering what happened as the summary seems to mention a merge, but nothing else? – OdinintheNorth (talk) 16:37, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey @OdinintheNorth. I looked at the version from archive.org and I see what you mean. This is odd, I've never seen this happen after a history merge, but I've been able to restore the version that I believe you were used to seeing. I really appreciate you calling this out for me. This particularly instance was rather messy due to a mistake I made, so I'm happy it was caught sooner rather than later. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks again! Hey man im josh (talk) 17:38, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

I believe I understand what happened and how to avoid it in the future. Ah merge tool. Used seldom enough that I still need a bit more practice with it. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:54, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Not a big deal, hopefully it wasn't too much work to sort all that out. Thank you for the explanation! – OdinintheNorth (talk) 02:16, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Team Templates

I have always disliked the team templates. They just get cluttered and difficult to access. What do you think of this: {{Green Bay Packers/sandbox}}. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 20:09, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

@Gonzo fan2007: Sorry for not responding sooner. I think your proposed revision is probably better than what's currently used, but I'm not entirely sold on it being the best possible set up. May I suggest moving visual media from the team history to the media section? I'm just not sure what I think the best possibly set up could be, but something can be improved I think. Sorry for the vagueness lol, but I figured a response is better than no response. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:07, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

No worries, good recommendation! I think what I was going for was twofold: (1) better/clearer organization and (2) no more hidden links in the row headers. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:45, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured list. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Giants2008 (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:25, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Oh look!

Another one! Congrats, Josh! Regards, John. Bringingthewood (talk) 20:32, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks John! Hey man im josh (talk) 17:58, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Bowl MVP

I saw your last edit on J. J. McCarthy’s page. I didnt want to go off subject on the other WT post about awards, but I agree with you. I think we could do without the bowl mvp‘s. Last I was on the fence regarding New Year’s Six, but the Rose Bowl, while historic has two MVP’s, even the National Championship Game has to be formatted oddly. Adding the fact, its hard to justify including some and not the rest, and we can all probably agree the current bowl season isn’t worth accolades for the most part.

• National Championship (2014)
• National Championship Game MVP (2015)

Centurion Seraph (talk) 21:53, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

@Centurion Seraph: When we discussed including championships in infoboxes, the consensus was to only include the national championships and to leave out conference championships. We're meant to use the format of "BCS national champion" or "CFP national champion" as examples, per WP:NFLINFOBOX. Based on that logic, and applying the same logic we do to NFL highlights, we shouldn't be listing any bowl games from my point of view. After all, we don't list NFC or AFC champions. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:50, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

I think its funny that you corrected and directed me in a private conversation. I believe you know I don't format it like “National Championship”, that was a loose example in wanting to talk with you. But I’m also extremely impressed you covered all your bases by stating BCS or CFP (both existing in 2014). You can remove the last four letters from my last post if you want. Centurion Seraph (talk) 17:54, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

@Centurion Seraph: Nothing about this conversation is private, I actually get a lot of traffic to my talk page. I do not know you enough to know your preference or stance on capitalization issues, but regardless, that's the capitalization that we utilize. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:58, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

If you want to get technical, champion pertains to a person. As I’m not referencing somebody and only defining the championship event and award, champion would not be correct in this instance Centurion Seraph (talk) 18:19, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Ooops?

Did you mean to delete this archive?-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:09, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

@Ponyo: I did not, so I'm very grateful you caught that! I see what happened. I deleted Donald Trump/Archive 168 and it hadn't occured to me that the talk page was the archive. That's definitely something I'm going to be watching out for in the future when I process similar CSD requests. Hey man im josh (talk) 22:13, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Interesting. That's something for me to look out for too! Anyway, no harm no foul.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:14, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

You missed one

1932 NFL championship game. Dicklyon (talk) 00:20, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

I see those were necessitated by my error here. I fixed it just now. Dicklyon (talk) 00:36, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

There was actually no 1932 NFL championship game @Dicklyon. I'm going to copy a note from List of Detroit Lions seasons, a list I promoted to featured status; Prior to 1933, the NFL determined their league champions based on win–loss percentage. After a tie for first place in 1932, the NFL arranged an extra regular season game to determine the season's champion. Based on the success of this matchup, George Preston Marshall and George Halas put forth a proposal to determine the league's champion in a championship match at the end of each season. In 1933, the NFL divided teams into two divisions, with the division champions set to meet in the NFL Championship Game. There's references at the article if you're interested in learning more. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:16, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

There's a prev link to 1932 NFL Championship Game, which my template change had turned red, like the others. Now moot. Dicklyon (talk) 15:10, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

832LT and 106medregt

106medregt was blocked at 04:58 17 May 2024. Therefore, all drafts made by 832LT socks afterward can be deleted under G5. Air on White (talk) 19:26, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

@Air on White: I'm going based off the date of block of the named master. Whether they're actually the master or not can be discussed, but, that account you're referencing wasn't reported until today at the SPI. Ponyo also did not say whether it was definitively confirmed, so it's better, from my POV, to err on the side of caution and let the drafts expire and be G13 deleted if necessary unless the account has been definitively linked. If that is the original account name, then it makes sense to propose moving the case there. Until some further confirmation, I'm going to operate under the assumption that anything prior to May 27 is not G5 eligible. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:33, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

I had sent an email (didnt do via my discord it is a bit of a mess atm) but in the time I sent - the problem was solved - just a heads up if the email seemed a bit strange/strained - all is fixed. JarrahTree 16:09, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

You reconfigured IABot to archive URLs to everything

I noticed that IABot has suddenly surged in activity since yesterday. When checking the configuration, and the change log respectively, I see you made alterations to the bot's wiki-wide behavior. Is there a recent policy change that I missed where adding archive links to both dead and live sources is desired? Otherwise, can you please explain the configuration change? —CYBERPOWER (Chat) 17:03, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Oh my god, this deserves a big ol' trout @Cyberpower678. I had no idea that I had the ability to change wiki-wide configurations. Being that I was logged in, I thought this was a preference that was set specifically for requests I made via the interface. I've reversed the configuration change and I'm so sorry for any inconvenience, headache, or extra load this may have caused! Hey man im josh (talk) 17:07, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

No worries. Yes, all sysops have the power to reconfigure the bot's behavior. Being the enforces of consensus, how the bot should run on a wiki can have a changing consensus. :-) Thank you for reversing. —CYBERPOWER (Chat) 17:09, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

BTW, I'm fresh out of trouts. I ate them all yesterday. —CYBERPOWER (Chat) 17:11, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

@Cyberpower678: I think my confusion came into play from heavily utilizing IABot BEFORE I became an admin, and then not noticing that I was suddenly able to do something I hadn't even looked to try to do before. Woops! Lessons learned!!! Thanks for understanding :) Hey man im josh (talk) 17:12, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey, we all have our admin slip ups. I once blocked editing to all of Wikipedia because I neglected to properly clean up a spam blacklist regex entry, leaving behind a single period, which matched to everything naturally. —CYBERPOWER (Chat) 17:22, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

@Cyberpower678: Wow! That sounds Wikipedia:Village stocks worthy based on its impact lol. It happens :) Hey man im josh (talk) 17:23, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Oh oops, my mistake, I think somebody else did that on the spam blacklist. I accidentally borked the title blacklist which denied the creation of accounts and pages if I'm not mistaken. It's been a while. Here's my blunder edit. —CYBERPOWER (Chat) 17:46, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Ohhhhh yeah, that's not as bad :) Hey man im josh (talk) 17:47, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey Josh, could you remove my page mover and new page reviewer rights? Thanks! – Hilst [talk] 01:20, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

@Hilst: Done. Feel free to reach out on my talk page any time to request these back and I'll be happy to grant them back without question. I'm sad to see you leave the NPP but I'm thankful for everything review and tag you've done! Hey man im josh (talk) 01:31, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Alright, thank you! I'll definitely think about returning to NPP in the future. – Hilst [talk] 01:35, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
