new pages patrol

Thanks for your generally excelllent work here, but there are some problems.

  1. you must use an edit summary containing the words "speedy deletie" or the equivalent whenever you tag the article, to make it easier for administrators (and other editiors) to find them. Using such a summary is a requirement
  2. you may have been going too fast, because Shankar sarda should not have been tagged. A good faith attempt at an article should not be tagged the same minute it is entered--only obviously totally unsuitable articles incapable of possible improvement--as is the case for almost all of he ones you quite correctly did tag.
  3. Now, that article asserted authorship of several dozen books. such a statement is a very clear indication of importance, even if the article has no references, and passes speedy. Publishing even a few books by reputable publishers is considered enough to pass Speedy. If sources for reviews are added, its often enough to pass AfD. In this case, with multiple books, including awards, and some references already present, it certainly will.
  4. Please be aware of the different standards for speedy and afd. AfD needs importance demonstrated by 3rd party sources. Passing Speedy requires just an indication of some plausible importance.

Keep up the good patrolling. 17:18, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Attack pages

Hi. When you tag a page {{db-atk}}, like Steven perry just now, it's a good idea also to replace the whole content with the word "blanked" - that means the attack material is removed from display at once (though of course it's still in the history till the page is deleted) and the attacker doesn't get the satisfaction of seeing it. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:27, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Exuse me, but why are you deleting my pages? —Preceding unsigned comment added by ILager (talkcontribs) 20:44, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


deleting pages is illegal, just like the University of Utah

New page... Thank you!

I am a new Wikipedia contributor and just created my first page. I took to search to make sure it was actually new material and made sure to put in some references to establish relevance and authenticity. Kingpin13 added some formating, teaching me a new html trick. Thank you. Mwalla (talk) 21:13, 16 January 2009 (UTC)mwalla

"Religion of Susquehanna"

Hello,

My name is Randy Robertson. I'm a professor of English at Susquehanna University, and I am teaching a course on the history of media. One of my assignments for the class is that we create our own religion. The point of the exercise is to show students how sacred texts can accrue material over time, some of which is inconsistent with what was there before.

It is also, however, a serious attempt to define the values of the class. As students will be students, the initial comments in the entry will be frivolous, but my hope is that over time it will become more serious, and that as a class we will build a page that will stimulate thoughtful discussion. It was originally titled "Religion of Susquehanna," but because Susquehanna's Board of Trustees might get upset about that, I propose to call the entry "A New SU Religion." I hope that you let this page stand. Many academics are hostile to Wikipedia; I like using it as a learning tool in the new media world, where movements can be created online before they exist in the "real world." If you would like to discuss any aspect of this proposal further, please feel free to contact me at robertson@susqu.edu.

Sincerely, Randy Robertson (talk) 00:59, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Possible sock?

Look at the history of the article you just (rightly) nominated for speedy. Right after you put the tag on it, a new user was created and restored the content. I'm t hinking User:Potheli is probably a sock of User:Thorran? Politizer talk/contribs 08:20, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I can understand you tagging this page immediately after I did - that's easy to do - but your warning to the user wasn't added to his talk page but over-wrote what was already there, including a welcome paragraph. That doesn't seem a good thing; you were using NPWatcher, which I don't know - is this a bug in it? Regards, JohnCD (talk)

Rollback

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 15:49, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Removing copyvio does not equal vandalism

You have just given 83.80.18.68 (talk · contribs) a level 2 warning (vandalism) for the edits to the article Jamal Khashoggi. For the record, that was me while not logged in. The section I removed violated the copyrights of the Saudi-US Relations Information Service. I don't see why you would give someone a level 2 warning for removing copyvio's, particularly not when I've explicitly mentioned it in the edit summary. The least you could do is to actually check the copyright status before warning someone. AecisBrievenbus 11:45, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

History of Terrorism

Without explanation? i have explained in both the edit comment and the talk page, perhaps you should try reading them before accusing people of vandalism.

Chris Doss

I want to start off by thanking you for your work in Wikipedia. It looks like you've done quite a bit of weeding out. That being said, it looks like (from your talk page), you've tagged articles in for speedy deletion incorrectly in the past. You recently tagged Chris Doss for deletion as a db-bio. The page claimed that he was the coach of WVU basketball and had a 200-0 record. This would certainly make him notable as you would find a large amount of articles about an undefeated WVU basketball coach. I retagged it as a db-vandalism as the information is completely false. Again, thanks for your time on wiki and you're certainly making edits in good faith and for the better of Wikipedia but using the incorrect db tags can extend a bad articles life considerably. Thanks again. OlYellerTalktome 19:29, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Drug names

You should really read what people write in their edit comments. I wrote new nicknames that are frequently used in my provine (Quebec, Canada)on the List of street names of drugs page twice but you keep deleting them. Seriously, I'm just trying to contribute to Wikipedia with pertinent and clear information but your counter-productive attitude won't help me appreciate this great site. I even tried to re-organize some names that were in the wrong alphabetical order but you reversed that too. Please at least read people's justification before reversing pertinent changes. I'm not going to loose my time trying to make some changes to ameliorate this page anymore because I figure you'll just block them without even bothering to read the edit section. You pretty much ruined my enthousiasm to try to make Wikipedia a better and more enjoyable site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.19.214.254 (talk) 19:45, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Money Laundering

That's a weird edit, adding single character. Thanks for reverting it. I guess (I hope) a slip, you always wonder if there is more to come. I will keep my eye on it anyway.

Oh man now I just thought of someone with a bot or something making legitimate edits one character at a time, you know like playing Hangman or whatever. At any point could say "I have the whole text here but the guidelines say I can make minor edits. Reductio ad absurdem, I am making them in one-character chunks". Oh god new nightmare now.

Best wishes SimonTrew (talk) 09:28, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

I presume you prefer your replies to be in your box rather than where placed. Yeah this one just startled me. I am used to vandalism and in fact there seems to be a kind of meta-vandalism where a few people using automated tools like Huggle have been very indiscriminate in whate they revert (my own included, fairly obviously, or I would not have noticed). I can't believe adding a single character is vandalism (and to be clear you didn't characterise it as such) you just kinda wonder how it got there. That being said those three butons on the bottom of the edit page are mighty close together and easy to hit the wrong one.
What I tend to find more is I make a major(ish) change pretty well and then miss some stupid typo or other silly thing that is immediately obvious the *instant* you Save, usually before the page has even been rerendered (and after Preview, Show Changes, etc). I tend to put this under my general heading of the "U-Bend Trick" that being the daddy of all such errors: you take a U-bend off from under a sink and what do you do? Empty it down the sink. And the split second you do it, you know what is going to happen i.e. mop and bucket time and new trousers. One day I will get that published somewhere so it can be added to Wikipedia without it being WP:OR.

The vandalism occured first here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matt_Reis&oldid=278737607 then again in the next edit by fat man running. The next 2 edits fixed a small portion of the edits, and as far as I can tell added nothing new.

Re:Ciera keyes

Well per the CSD page, A7 is for an article about a person/group/web content which does not indicate any importance for its subject. And it also specifically mentions that it doesn't apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance, which Ciera keyes did. G4 does not apply to an article deleted without a deletion discussion, so articles deleted through PROD and speedy deletion are not eligible for G4. However, if you look at the article on Ciera keyes, and with some common sense and a G-search, it is obviously vandalism, which falls under G3. --Patar knight - chat/contributions 12:28, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Don't vandalize talk page Benzodiazepine withdrawal

My remarks there are geared towards improving citations and citation style, removing speculative references, WP:SYN and OR. I have exemplified this in examples including blah blah blah (ref). And also blah blah blah............ ref ref ref ref ref ref, to exemplify refs which are bunched up at the end of the section and cannot be assigned to the single statements. This is constructive criticism. So please leave it alone and read it again. It is not vandalism. If it appears not constructive to you, get a university degree. I am trying to teach proper citation style, which can be easily proofread against references, without having to completely read ALL references and then wondering which reference belongs to which statement, and on which page. What you have done is vandalism. Stop it. 70.137.165.53 (talk) 11:17, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Rabiate Tommy

Hi Kingpin, I deleted Rabiate Tommy as non notable bio rather than nonsense; I think it was written in a North European language and I didn't understand much beyond the date of birth and liking for Pokemon. But I reckon that was enough for a speedy. However normally articles needing translation go to WP:PNT. ϢereSpielChequers 11:46, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry bub, but my neighborhood and street isn't yours for the taking as some stupid touristo location at the behest of some aging hippie who probably got stoned over here and has one of those nostalgic hippie attitudes.

Kindly remove it now, before I make this a legal matter, and trust me, I will make it personal. In fact I will sue you personally if you do not comply.

I see your point, but that would require several templates on each of the individual pages and templates are usually collapsed which doesn't always make them inviting to naviaget (or intuitive that there are even links in them). And I don't think people always realize that the blue-links in templates are clickable and sometimes I will read an article but miss an info box or template, so I thought it would be nice to have it all in one place. And finally, I think the list article allows for a different organization and layout with a bit more detail than a template. But I understand your position and I appreciate your consideration. Sorry about all the message back and forth. :) ChildofMidnight (talk) 16:27, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. You should probably read the discussion page (it's obvious you haven't), where the reasons for my edits are documented in detail. It's hardly vandalism to restore a NPOV, as noted by several administrators on the discussion page when they prevented the above editor & her friend from reverting for a week. You should assume good faith. Lcwilsie is a POV editor (not as biased as her friend I accept) - have a look at some of her edits. Look at the page of the admin who froze the page for a week and what that admin says about the version that YOU describe as vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.89.167.125 (talk) 03:42, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Wow. The locked version of the article was not the "approved" version, and it is hardly NPOV. The edits that Gillyweed has been making are incremental improvements, adding citations, etc. I'll warrent that his edits are not necessarily perfect, but it's difficult to build upon these, or to re-write sections in an NPOV way, when we're fighting a revert war with one editor. Reverting these changes to a version of the article that needs a lot of work seems ludicrous. Lcwilsie (talk) 17:28, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Danny MacAskill

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Danny MacAskill, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

not sufficiently notable, per WP:ONEVENT

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Admin?

Hello, Kingpin. I've seen you around on Wikipedia, and I really admire your work with RCP and NPP; would you like me to review you for suitability as an administrator? I think you'd be a huge asset with the "block" and "delete" buttons. Dylan620 (Toolbox Alpha, Beta) 22:06, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Leo Gray

I'm new to this so sorry for contacting you through this means.

My name is Alan Murphy and I posted the story Leo Gray today its a story on a Tuskegee Airmen. Wikipedia took the story down for concerns of copyright. I wrote the story and posted it on my site. I email folks from my site giving permission to post the story. How can I get this story up. What am I doing wrong?

SDPatrolBot

I have to say, thanks for making this bot. If it can (re)place speedies consistenly then this is sure to be a very handy additional for new page patrol. I hope you don't mind me asking but: Coul'd this bot be easily adapted to work the same way for PROD tags? PROD's may be removed by anyone, but keeping track of each PROD is quite annoying. Maybe its an idea to notify editors if a PROD they placed is removed by the person that made the page / is removed within 7 days? :) Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 12:10, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your message, I myself am very pleased with the way it's going too :). Your idea about notifying PRODers about their PROD(s) being removed is interesting, the code could be easily changed to make it work in the same way as it does at the moment (only warning the nominator rather then the creator), so it shouldn't be too hard to add. But as it's in trial at the moment for tagging G7 articles and replacing deleted speedy tags, I think I'll wait until that's finished. Also because I've had a few other ideas for more tasks, and because it'll take me a while to code those things, but after that I'll do another BRfA. Thanks - Kingpin13 (talk) 12:21, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Great! I look forward to seeing it in action! Also, a little gimmick flag since this bot deserves one right away :) Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 12:36, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Just came across SDPatrolBot in action, wasn't aware of its existence yet. What a brilliant bot! This saves me a lot of double-checking to see if my CSD tags aren't removed. Thanks for building it, great job! Yintaɳ  11:13, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Automatic Archiving

Hello again Kingpin13. When i was here yesterday (And again today) i noticed that you have a fairly large amount of messages on your talk page. I also saw that you archived them trough moving your entire talk page as an archive page. Might it be an idea to set up automated archiving instead? There are several bots that can automatically split and archive messages on your talk page, which saves a lot of time, while it also gives a talk page a cleaner look:). Im using MiszaBot for this purpose myself - in case your interested you might want to read the howto on archiving trough the bot: User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo. An example is present in the source of my talk page. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 10:21, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

School of the Holy Child, Angeles, Inc.

Hi, I saw you recently nominated School of the Holy Child, Angeles, Inc. for deletion under G11, and then also nommed the redirect under the same criteria. But the criteria you should have used is G8 (a page which is dependent on a page which doesn't exist, has been deleted, or is currently nominated for speedy deletion). Also, you probably don't need to tag redirects as admins should check for those when deleting. Keep up your patrolling :) - Kingpin13 (talk) 07:40, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

This seems to have been a case of simultaneous convergence of multiple hungry editors upon a single piece of tasty spam. The article was a bona-fide G11 case when I hit the Twinkle CSD button, but some time in the handful of seconds between when the process was initiated and when it finished, Porturology pressed "Save page" on his/her computer to finish turning the "article" into a redirect (funny). Twinkle seems to have not been perturbed by the edit conflict that would have thrown; I wonder if that represents a bug or a feature. --Dynaflow babble 07:55, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Our previous chat + NICE tool modifcation

Hello. I'm not sure if you remember, but we had chatted a bit about a revert a while back (see User_talk:EpochFail#PermaNoob). It turns out that I was reverting that (dummy) user during the development of an interface modification I'll be using to study interactions in Wikipedia. Judging by your amount of activity, I think you'd be a superb candidate for giving it a test run. If you are interested, you can find more information on our study here: http://wikipedia.grouplens.org/NICE/consent.

TLDR: My colleges and I made an interface modification. We want you to try it and tell us what you think. See: http://wikipedia.grouplens.org/NICE/consent --EpochFail (talk) 20:51, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

SDPatrolBot - Replacing tag on userfied article

Hi there. First off, nice bot, great idea. I just noticed a small flaw you might want to correct: The bot readded a speedy template here after the creator had moved the article to their userspace to work on it. I understand that the bot probably cannot check for that but as a security measure (and to avoid bad tags being replaced) I think it would be great if it could check whether the tag can be used in that namespace at all before re-adding it, i.e. only re-adding A#-tags in article namespace, U#-tags in userspace etc. Regards SoWhy 06:35, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Mark Siryk

Hi.

My article on Mark Siryk wasn't meant to be an attack piece. I mistyped "Russophone" as "Russophobe". Easily done, but the article makes more sense now.

I think the subject is notable - a human rights activist arrested by a national government who has been cited by various NGOs. No doubt the subject will be controversial, but the article will evolve as more contributions are made and as I pad it out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shotlandiya (talkcontribs) 12:30, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I created this account just to reply boxingwear and george reeves vandal are not same, also both contributed great deal, only problem was, problem with administrators, every time mkil reverts things he uses people's real names, for that you should ban him for good, many privacy violations.

new attitude

the article has some truth and it was sourced from our own web page. I am not interested in altering that content,I am however flabergasted, as I learn the process on this site, that some of these things were able to be published in the first place. what "source" is related to the supposed criminal activities??? Criminal activities Drug trafficking, arms dealing, extortion and money laundering ... totaly unfounded and I challenge anyone to back up those accusations with any reliable sources. If they were able to print that kind of acusation without any source then I should be able to delete it. The author is in no position to comment on allies or rivals and I would challenge any sources on that statement as well. what I am trying to do is leave the core of the definition there but delete the inaccuracies, that is all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tboned208 (talkcontribs) 15:18, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello, you comfirmed a message on my talk, and you said i was vandalising User:Closedmouth userpage, but i was undoing something he comfirmed on it that contained swearing, and that is why i undid it.

Your WP:PROD on Dimag.

I saw the edit summary you left when tagging the above article for PROD - I agree that it didn't quite comfortably fit any criteria. I ended up deciding it was a reasonable G2 test page, as a malformed unwikified entry that had no context and blatantly wasn't an "article" by any stretch of the imagination, it was clearly created by someone who didn't understand what Wikipedia is.

I think you made the right move not tagging it with anything in particular; PROD is always the way to go if you're unsure. Just thought I'd let you know my thoughts - keep up the good work. ~ mazca talk 13:34, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Murder of David Lynn Harris

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Murder of David Lynn Harris, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

wikipedia is not a newspaper

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi Kingpin. What should I do when an IP-user removes a warning just after I gave it to him? I tried to rollback his edit, but just after that he undo my edit.

Peter Damian

Ah, I was expecting someone would contact me soon about this. I provided, in my edit, a very brief summary of why I struck his vote, but I will elaborate.

Part of the job we do, as crats, is to analyze the rationales behind opposes and neutrals to see where consensus lies. We do give different weight to different rationales, and in a practical sense, the only difference between giving a vote no weight and physically striking a vote is striking the vote. This is possible because RFA is a discussion, where the real power of someone's oppose lies not in their physical vote but in the reasoning behind it.

I admit, I was apprehensive to strike the vote. I could close the RFA and give it no weight without striking. I could support myself and negate the oppose. I could ignore it and let the discussion boil over and past until he grew tired of it. But I didn't. I knew I might find criticism, but I can't in good conscience let him disrespect Mikaey in such a way.

When a person submits themselves to RFA, they deserve to be seen in the light of their contributions. They deserve to receive constructive criticism. They deserve to see what they have done right and what they need to work on. So when someone opposes with a reason that fails to give to the candidates the respect and the aforementioned rights that they deserve, how can we let that stand? We are an encyclopedia based off mutual respect and civility for each other. To what degree our mutual respect and civility as a community still stands is debatable, but this is the hope we look to build towards.

That said, I don't have a vendetta against Peter Damian. I wish him well, and I hope he continues to build content. If he even put so much as a reasonable rationale to show why Mikaey might not be a good admin, I would not have stricken the vote. But his wording, the internal message of his oppose, and the fact that he is basically getting away with it, I find to be astounding. As a bureaucrat, I feel it is a duty of mine to make sure that RFA is a place where the candidate can learn about themselves through the constructive criticism of others and that both sides may be civil and respectful when doing this. I had no choice but to be bold, and to do my duty, albeit in a more openly symbolic fashion that we are accustomed to doing. bibliomaniac15 22:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

We'll see how the discussion about the whole incident goes. On my part, I am not willing to put up with this divisive behavior much longer. I feel that the more drama is placed on this, the further he gets towards his goal. The way to combat this is with a good dose of BOLD and IAR. bibliomaniac15 22:27, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Hope you don't mind if I send a link over here. I don't want to type out my reasoning more than once. bibliomaniac15 22:33, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

murder

There doesn't seem to be consistency in retention or deletion of murder articles. Would you help me formulate a more precise definition?

Essentially, some want WP to be news. In these days of tabloid journals, the likes of CNN often carries the story.

Here are some ideas, some of which may be good or bad.

1. Length of time of coverage.
a. coverage of the murder more than 1 year after it becomes known.
b. repeated coverage of the trial, perhaps defining repeated.
c. locally significant murder.

2. Unusual nature of murder

3. Coverage by the foreign media. No coverage=not notable? That would mean that American murders would be covered if mentioned in the British press and vice versa. This may be an unusual requirement.

4. Coverage of the murder more than 1 week at the time of discovery and more than 1 week at the time of trial. Could be 2.

5. Significant uproar when the murderer is up for parole.

What are your thoughts. I am not ready for WP-wide discussion because I would like to hear a few opinions first. I have no opinion yet except that there is some variability in deciding which article stays. I think the decisions are not very uniform. User F203 (talk) 20:37, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I was also thinking of doing something similar to it (eg. CSD), but on a wider category. Does it run on the toolserver? What language are you using? Thanks. AHRtbA== Talk 17:13, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I did read the "Create a Bot" page... I think it could use some re-writes. It doesn't make much sense. I was just thinking overall, the bot could just detect most types of CSD and tag it. I think it would be fun. And actually, if you'd ever like a extra hand creating the bot, I'd be more than glad to help, since I also know the wonders of the C#. Thanks. AHRtbA== Talk 17:29, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Hmmm... I see what you mean... everyone is on the CSDs ASAP. Isn't there a bot we can make that would be useful? Maybe a manually assisted vandal bot? (eg. Like ClueBot but manual. It finds edits, then waits for you to approve the edits before it does everything. Less false positives.) Thanks. AHRtbA== Talk 17:49, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Ok, I'll try that. It seems like a fun thing to try. What do you think? A 20 second delay? (between tag and user notify) There shouldn't be too many of these though, since most users are using something like TW. Thanks. AHRtbA== Talk 18:11, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Kingpin; A quick reminder that when you tag an article for speedy deletion while New Page Patrolling, make sure to "mark the article as patrolled". This prevents other patrollers from rereading something that will be deleted anyways. GrooveDog (talk) (Review) 20:19, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Extra space

Just an fyi that in at least some cases (for example, Cool Prototyping, Joel Kemm, and Jeonui Station, which may all be gone by the time you read this, unfortunately), your bot seems to insert a space that you might not have intended to create. It is a leading space at the beginning of the line of text that follows the speedy that you replaced. The result is to display that text in a code box, ignoring Wiki markup. (Of course, this won't matter unless the article's deletion is canceled, at which time someone would want to delete that space.) --Rich Janis (talk) 02:33, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of */Archive1

A tag has been placed on */Archive1 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. noq (talk) 00:42, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I've read the pages on it, but I don't see the difference between it, and a normal template. Thanks. AHRtbA== Talk 01:07, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok, that makes sense. I'm assuming that since all the links in subst templates have : in them ([[:something]]), it is for the same reason. Of-the-Wall question: Wouldn't it be better if your bot (and maybe mine) ran off the toolserver as to be continuous? They would have to be transferred to a lang like PHP, Perl or Python, but I think it would make them more useful... Thanks. AHRtbA== Talk 15:32, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
Ok. I probably won't convert it to the toolserver until later. Maybe with a update that it the bot not only notifies the user who created the page about the CSD, but also the user who tagged the article and didn't notify the user. Thanks. AHRtbA== Talk 15:42, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
FYI, on SDPatrolBot under Tasks it says "This bot will does the following tasks" instead of "This bot does the following tasks". (I would have edited myself, but it's your userpage :)) Thanks. AHRtbA== Talk 15:48, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Category:Tennessee_Volunteers_football_seasons

Hey, I would think all articles in Category:Tennessee_Volunteers_football_seasons should be deleted... They really don't contribute much. What would happen in a case like this? Thanks. AHRtbA== Talk 16:07, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Mainly because it's a scoreboard type of article. I'm not sure if that belongs in a Encyclopedia, but if you think it's fine, I'll leave it alone. Thanks. AHRtbA== Talk 16:17, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Bot idea...

Hey Kingpin, I hope you don't mind me asking you every question I have... :) I was thinking about making a bot that goes through images, and if the image was created more than 30 days ago, and it has no pages linking to it, it'll nominate it for deletion? (not Speedy... what category would that be under?) Thanks. AHRtbA== Talk 16:36, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Bots

Hey buddy, sorry it didn't occur to me it was you!!! I think the bot is a good idea for vandals! I thought that editors on the white list and auto-patrolled editors like myself were exempt from that criteria? It doesn't bother me every now and then, my only wish though is that more bot operators were interested in devising ways to mass generate content twice as fast as I do but with ten times the info!! Dr. Blofeld White cat 16:15, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah thats why I sort of function as a content building bot most of the time on here!! Somebody has to highlight the missing articles from other wikipedias and make the first step to get them into english!! We could sure use several hundred translators though. I don't start a single article that can't be expanded substantially by anybody visiting of course. My ideal would be to create 10 articles a minute and have every article fully translated instantly upon creation. Dr. Blofeld White cat 16:23, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

SDPatrolBot should not replace the tag if the author has expanded the article from what was originally tagged

The bot has restored an A7 tag to an article that was expanded from the originally tagged article - to the point where A7 didn't apply anymore. I don't think this is optimal. Can you consider adding in a check to see if the author added content in conjunction with the tag removal and tell the bot to ignore, or log only? Thanks, –xenotalk 17:32, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Can't really think of any others, nope. Thanks for the quick response! –xenotalk 17:44, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject TRANSWIKI

Hi. In light of recent events and community concerns about the way in which content is transferred I have proposed a new wikiproject which would attempt to address any of the concerns and done in an environment where a major group of editors work together to transfer articles from other wikipedias in the most effective way possible without BLP or referencing problems. Please offer your thoughts at the proposal and whether or not you support or oppose the idea of a wikiproject dedicated to organizing a more efficient process of getting articles in different languages translated into English.

SDPatrolBot error

In this edit [5], the bot informed me of the removal of a PROD tag it "thought" I had placed. While I had prodded the article months ago, I had nothing to do with the recently removed tag (which had been placed by another user who didn't realize that articles can't be prodded twice).

Hey Kingpin13, I hope that NICE has been treating you nicely. We are looking to roll out some new features that I think you'll find more useful in the next few days. Anyway, we are doing some checking to our logging and I was hoping you could shed some light on a strange case related to one of your reverts. We suspect that you attempted to perform this revert but had an edit conflict stop it from going through (since User:Blueboy96 reverted the same revision at the same time). Do you remember what happened? --EpochFail (talk|contribs) 17:19, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi King pin

I Wanted to tell you hi —Preceding unsigned comment added by Giser5 (talkcontribs) 19:04, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

For your informative critique. Do you think Who is more obssessed with Twilight? should be re-created and then speedily deleted under a different criterion (A7 instead of G1) or do you wish to go to WP:DRV and argue it was not nonsense? I and another editor who initially tagged it, saw it as nonsense, and eligible for G1. It was not so much a sensible article about a non-notable person, as raving nonsense about an obsession with a fictional work. "Blather, blather, I love Twilight, blather, blather, I watched it 50 times in a row, blather blather my friends think I am crazy" sounds like nonsense to me. Edison (talk) 02:24, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

The article clearly needed speedy deletion. It was tagged G1 by one experienced editor, and it was straightforward to CSD it via Twinkle using the same criterion by which it was tagged. I feel that it fits the edit summary "unsalvageably incoherent page with no meaningful content." To CSD it by a different criterion would mean CSD as A7, then going to the creating editors talk page , opening WP:WARN, find the template for A7, copy it, paste it on the editor's page, then copy and paste in the name of the article. Do you know any shortcut such as by Twinkle which doesn't involve several wasted minutes? Twinkle CSD by itself does not send any message to the creating editor to inform her it was deleted for a different reason than the one she had been informed of by the first editor. Speaking of wasted minutes, I could have used the past 39 minutes more productively than debating this with you. You are more than welcome to recreate it then delete it for a different reason, keeping the article creator duely informed. Best. Edison (talk) 02:49, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Who's more obsessed with which CSD criterion to use for a nonsensical article by an unremarkable person?Edison (talk) 03:00, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
We can agree to disagree. I am familiar with WP:CSD. As for civility, it is incivil for you to assume I have not read and understood WP:CSD, and that if we evaluate things differently, I am wrong and you are right. I am done with this issue if you are. Regards. Edison (talk) 03:11, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

User talk:Wombleoracle

Did you intend to let this user know under which CSD criterion you felt his article JamesDee should be deleted? All you did was warn him not to create inappropriate articles. Shouldn't you let him know it was under G3? As the G3 template says, you can do so by posting the provided template {{subst:Db-vandalism-notice|JamesDee|header=1}} ~~~~ on the editor's talk page. I have speedily deleted the article. Regards. Edison (talk) 03:42, 20 August 2009 (UTC) Never mind. I see that the template does not specify G3 and only uses general language. Edison (talk) 03:44, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Xda orbit 2

From the point of view that the CSD must fit perfectly or the article cannot be speedied. how would you approach Xda orbit 2 where someone wants to know how to get his phone to work? It belongs on Ref Desk. Would you use the approach you advocate for"obsessed," above and A7 because the guy asking the question is nonnotable? Or the fits-all "Test page" which it is not. Oh well, no criterion fits perfectly, so I will prod it and leave it up for 5 days. Edison (talk) 19:51, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I think A3 barely fits, since it could it could be called "chatlike." Edison (talk) 19:57, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
I see you placed a comment at the top of the editor's page, directing him to the Ref Desk. Good job. I did not initially see it, so I placed one at the bottom of the page. Edison (talk) 23:43, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Regarding cross namespace redirects

Hey. I saw this comment you made, and I was wondering if you could point me to where it says cross-namespace redirects are acceptable for templates? I looked on WP:REDIRECT and couldn't see anything, and WP:CNR didn't mention templates either. Thanks, Killiondude (talk) 07:28, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, the article wasn't deleted when I posted the diff on your talk page. I guess it was just that your edit summary was a tad misleading (no worries, I sometimes leave hasty summaries myself), in that it said "cross namespace redirects are allowed to templates", when maybe it should have said something along the lines that CSD#R2 doesn't cover redirects to the template space. In any case, it was the result of a page move, which is deletable per CSD#R2. Killiondude (talk) 08:24, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

How to translate

Hi there. Is there an easy way to translate articles on wikipedia? I don't know that much in order to create significant articles and I would like to translate articles from English and French to Romanian and the other way round, but I get lost in formatting, importing templates and so on.

There is information on all of the other fictional things surrounding the Sookie Stackhouse series, and the Bar (Fangtasia) is a big part of that. I thought it deserved its own post. Is that wrong? This is my first time posting something. I realize there was a post on that topic deleted before, but I see nothing wrong or misleading about the post. Let me know what I need to change to make it okay. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tkriss (talkcontribs) 19:38, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

For the speedy reversion of the vandal's addition to my talk page. It's like playing whackamole when they create several accounts for the sole purpose of repetitive idiotic insertion of vandalism and reversion to the vandal edit. Edison (talk) 21:08, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

Mr.Kingpin13- Thank you for your explanation! It was so so helpful! I looked to see why the page was deleted, and it suggested that I link it to the True Blood or Character homepages? I feel at a loss because I have no idea as how to go about this. I feel awful for asking your advice again, but you seem to know what you're doing! Also, thank you very much for commenting on my manners. As a southern girl I take great pride in being polite! My Grandmother'd be proud to hear that I'm civil even on the internet! Thank you again!

Edit Header

Hiya boss - FYI, not sure if you knew but your talk page edit header sometimes doubles up. Strange. Doubles on overall page edits, and on section edits, but not on new section additions.  ?!?  7  02:27, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

John Cohen Nascar

Hi. Can you tell me how you would handle this user page? It is a direct copy of John_Cohen_(NASCAR_owner) but yet you explained to me that CSD tags don't apply to userpages. I am inclined to invoke option #7 of the WP:UP#NOT policy, but don't know if it should be PROD'd or xFD'd. Can you give me some advice on this? Thanks. ArcAngel (talk) 20:27, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Danny MacAskill

Hi, and thanks for the message. You're correct that I added the {{notability}} tag to this article despite the existence of sources, as it seemed a bit like a WP:ONEEVENT to me. However, I hadn't noticed it had previously passed AFD. I'm still uncertain about his long-term notability (if in six months' time there's nothing more to add to this article, I might take it back to AFD), but for the time being I'll remove the template.

Attempted article deletion

My article falls well within the boundaries of wikipedias guidelines and is partially under construction. I have edited the talk page for you to look at but i would like to get rid of that as soon as possible because it looks ridiculous for me to be fighting to keep a legitimate article on the free encyclopedia. I have contacted the user who attempted to destroy my page and i will want to kepp the article in its orginial format by tonight, so please be quick i have to write an article for each of the robots and technology and i cant spend another 45 minutes wondering why wikipedia doesnt like me anymore. I understand there is no way for me to stop destructive edits of my articles, but i did remove that long warning, because it is better to have no page then have a page which reflects badly on the company or makes it look illegitiamte in any way, shape or form, and i will continue to reverse any destructive edits made on my articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Canadiansteve (talkcontribs) 19:55, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Attempted article deletion

Kingpin we are writing this article with students from ETS university, and i do work for the company, but am completely aware of wikipedia's desire to keep articles neutral. I am here only to provdie details and the students are helping, so yes the article is not mine, as a matter of fact it says from wikipedia right on top but i assure the article is very relevant, and though it is under construction, you may see referecnes made by credible 3rd parties at http://roboticsdesign.qc.ca/news.html. Thank you for your understanding.20:12, 4 September 2009 (UTC)Canadiansteve (talk)

Kingpin please, i have been working on this article and would like to show it to the invontor of ANAT technology by tonight when we are scheduled to meet, and it looks horrible with all these ominous warnings on it, please remove at least the warning that you want to delete the page so it is presentable. I am aware of the sources issue and will link it over the weekend, but if i show him something that is to be deleted maybe it wont look good on me or other ETS students at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Canadiansteve (talkcontribs) 20:18, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you Kingpin. I am going to show the inventor now, but will be working heavily on this article any many other that are linked or will be linked to it, so by monday it should start to look the part of a nice untouchable wikipedia article. The problem is that most media sources that mentionned the article have done so in French, therefore i wanted to add only those when i made the article in french, and put all the English sources with the proper page (EP&T magazine will be publishing an article, written by me, in their september issue which i will put as a reference, but i want to keep everything, including references, short and sweet.) Once again thank you for your help and if you discover any problems with my article email me at helloman911777@hotmail.com and i will be happy to do whatever you want, although the university students who wrote with me will not be availble to help after today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Canadiansteve (talkcontribs) 20:33, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Help me kingpin please

Hello kingpin, i recently have begun expaning the robotics Design page to include all other articles (ETS students wrote it now compeltely, with me only showing them where the exisitng information was, to keep the wikipedia community happy), namely the ANAT technology page, even more important then putting a page about a company on wikipeida, because the technology is whats intersting; modular robots, if you know what im talking about the mere mention would peak your interest. But, interesting or not this page was deleted for being an ad, when it did not promote any product whatsovever, just described this thecnology. The page was ANAT technolgy, which is now deleted b a volunteer, and i really dont want to spend my day arguing with people that dont care about the technology or probably robotics in the first place. If you can restore it, it would be much appreciated, an im not exactly sure what qualifies as vandalism, because im sure the volunteers believed themselves to be genuinely acting in the interests of wikipeida, but im really ready to give up on this whole website, escpecially considering nobody's paying me to do what im doing. If you could talk to them for me or find me an adminstrator who wants to help, i would appreciate it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Canadiansteve (talkcontribs) 20:38, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Kaleo Wassman

Will you quit trying to delete my articles about Kaleo Wassman and Sabotage Soundsystem, they took me a long time to wright and i am realy proud of them. They are good articles, you should be more worried about articles that only have a sentences about a person and show no significance, or merit or references ro validity. These articles are not a hoax so I would ask that you quit putting that speedy deletion tag on them because they are important for wikipedia have to expand its cultural significance and merit and relate to other pages that need to be saved like Pepper and Slightly Stoopid.Rupert1904 (talk) 11:25, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Jared Jeffrey

Hello,

why should this page be deleted ? I don't know what the original page was (as you can see I only made an account today) The information looks 'normal' to me, but maybe you know something more ? Jared is just a football (for americans soccer) player who plays for a belgian team http://www.clubbrugge.be/en/team/jared-jeffrey

I saw in the deletion logs that the reason was "(A7: Article about a real person, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject)" What kind of ??? is that ?

Hello,

I disagree with the decision

Athletes criterion

  1. People who have competed at the fully professional level of a sport, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, golf or tennis.[8]
  2. People who have competed at the highest amateur level of a sport, usually considered to mean the Olympic Games or World Championships.
  1. He played already in the first team.
    See [12]
    OK it is in Dutch but if you would scroll down you will see who played then & also who scored (one goal by jeffrey)
    Club: De Vlieger – Vermeulen (60’ Ciman), De Mets, Alcaraz (60’ Evens), Klukowski – Jeffrey (70’ Van Ruyskensvelde), Clement, Leko (70’ Blondel), Meeus (70’ Dirar) – Salou (80’ Capon), Djokic (80’ Chavez).
    Doelpunten: 9’ Djokic (0-1), 18’ Salou (0-2), 42’ Jeffrey (0-3), 51’ Alcaraz (0-4).
  1. In 2007 he played for the USA in the FIFA U-17 World Cup

Source: http://www.ussoccer.com/News/Other/2009/03/11-Questions-With-Jared-Jeffrey.aspx

This year he will play in the -20 youth world in Egypt from 26 September until 16 October 2009 Source: http://www.ussoccer.com/Tournaments/FIFA-Under-20-World-Cup/2009-FIFA-Under-20-World-Cup/Roster.aspx http://www.clubbrugge.be/en/nieuws/bericht/4998/Jared-Jeffrey-selected-by-US-for-U-World-Cup

So he matches both criterions.

I told you, it was out of blunt dislike for the genre and band.

RECON (band)

He claims it fitted article A7: Which explains that there was no relation to any form of subject matter. (Non existent)

If you read through his history you will notice he has deleted multiple pages of information on hardcore/screamo music. This is what lead my roommates and I to believe he has a mere dislike for the music genre, and has just gone deletion happy with wikipedia. Surely you can now see how your hostility and threats block us were met with antagonistic verbiage. The music genre is being cheated out of this website by this one, sole loser.

Perhaps you can restore this article and send a 'warning' to this user to NOT delete it again? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.249.254.197 (talkcontribs) 20:19, 19 September 2009

Replacing {{lifetime}} with {{DEFAULTSORT}} and various category tags

A few days ago you approved versions of Yobot and Smackbot to replace {{lifetime}} with {{DEFAULTSORT}}. The chief argument was that people miss the sort value in {{lifetime}} and place another sort value on the page, thus creating a conflict.

I have been resolving DEFAULTSORT conflicts since a couple of days after Category:Pages with DEFAULTSORT conflicts was created. I am almost certain that I am the only editor who is working on the problem from that page. I am absolutely certain that I have not seen more than five instances, out of more than a thousand pages, where the conflict was between a {{lifetime}} and {{DEFAULTSORT}}. Almost always the conflict is generated by an editor or a bot putting a "correct" sort value on a page and not deleting the incorrect value.

There is a discussion at Template talk:Lifetime regarding this replacement. Rich and Magioladitis have decided on their talk pages to eliminate lifetime. A number of editors, including me, have asked them not to do this. Their response is the same. Essentially, {{lifetime}} is evil because it hides categories. Rich has even developed a subst version, lft, which despite its name and its syntax, generates not {{lifetime}} but {{DEFAULTSORT}} and its categories.

Is there any way to reverse your approvals?

After the tag was placed, the original author blanked the page while you were editing it yourself when you placed the NotEnglish tag, which recreated the page.

Woodland Fairy Acres - {{hangon}} re: speedy deletion of article

Hi there,

I think I accidentally removed the "speedy delete" tag when I added a "hangon" tag to this article.

The hangon tag reads as follows:

"Hangon: Could you please be specific as to my infringement? I have referenced links to the actual sources of articles, so that should not be a copyright infringement. Also, how is this article a form of advertisement when you will allow articles on Wikipedia for such companies as Applebee's, Dancing Deer Co., Stonewall Kitchen, Barefoot Contessa, Doumak Inc., etc.? I will be happy to change whatever needs to be changed in order to have this article comply with your criteria. Thank you very much for your consideration and assistance."

If you can let me know exactly what I am doing wrong, I would like to have the chance to correct my errors so that the article can be published. Are you wanting to remove the article because we haven't won any awards like some other companies have advertised in their articles? Do we need that (i.e., more clout for our company) in order to be able to publish this article on Wikipedia?

One of the reasons you site for a speedy deletion of this article is "unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article". Can you please explain how our article is different from that of the companies I've indicated above in the hangon tag or other published articles on Wikipedia for such individuals as Ina Garten, Martha Stewart, etc.? If you could please clarify this, I would really appreciate it.

Also, I included references to third party printed and electronic articles that have been written about our products, as I thought Wikipedia needed references for our article to published in the Encyclopedia. If you wish that I remove all references to the printed articles, I will certainly be happy to do so.

Thank you very much! (But, where will I find your response now?)

I'll await the bot flag, monitor it very carefully in the first runs. I hope, in the future, to add further functions - but of course I will seek approval first.

Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/CobraBot

You approved this bot for a task that edits potentially thousands of articles in namespace without a single link to a community consensus discussion and without your asking anything about community approval.

Community consensus is a requirement for bot approval, please read the bot policy.

I have raised this issue at the RFBA talk page.[17] --69.225.5.183 (talk) 07:36, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

I guess I should just ask you why you acted against bot policy; and you answered that you debated the issue in a number of ways, predicting possible community responses and decided not to seek community input on consensus, or decided it was unnecessary. Why? It's not for you to decide. It's for the community to decide. The bot has been approved without community consensus. It should not have been. I think, therefore, the bot should not be running.
The point with citation bot is that the discussion shows where community concerns about OCLC parameters were raised. The community is interested in discussing OCLC parameters, in spite of your deciding they are not, and the community has discussed the issue on a number of past occasions including when the OCLC has involved a bot, and the bot was requested to stand down from inserting the numbers.
So, I appreciate your polite response, but the community is left nowhere.
The bot was approved for a task without community input. It should not have been.
What matters is, there is a flagged bot, flagged to perform a task, you approved the bot, and the task has never been the object of community consensus.
I think the bot should be unapproved and its flag removed, and CobraBot 2, well, I don't know about it, but the bot should be unflagged, and that changes at least that one little part of Cobra Bot 2.

Astrochologist - Astrochology

Why object to a new word that so self evidently describes a person that is well versed in two distinct disciplines i.e. {Astrology + Psychology = Astrochology}. Unless of course you believe that one or the other is not a legitimate science. But then you would have too argue with all the writings of Carl Jung, the first (arguably) Astrochologist (Although "they" didn't have a word for his field back then! Guess we still don't (try to google it). It's "ABOUT TIME", don't you think . . . ?

Hello Kingpin13, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I have deleted a page you tagged (Abhinandan mattela) under a criterion different from the one your provided, which was inappropriate or incorrect.

Sorry about backing out. When I first started getting involved with wikipedia seriously, even when I didn't have an account, I decided that if I ever encountered strong opposition to what I was doing I would back off, and respect the others. Especially since IP69.226.103.13 is also a fairly young account, if xe has strong feelings about it I can only imagine that more experienced editors would have much harsher comments, and more stern opposes. I wish it could have turned out better, and maybe in the future we can work together. Sodam Yat (talk) 20:21, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

re:TjBot

Hi Kingpin, thanks for your remarks. I should be the one whom embarrased about what I have done instead. I hope that you "believe" me that my intention is to improve id.wikipedia indirectly by running a Bot. Especially that I am quite an active member in id.wiki as well. I also realise that I am still "young" in wiki-experience, but want to do a little bit too much apparently. Other reason on running a bot on several days is that I didn't check often enough the remarks on other wiki which I have tried to "update" this last couple of days. I should be careful indeed, and instead made problems. In this case, I shouldn't be running bot then until I have fully understand the system or ?? .. Once again, thanks for your remarks and guidance. I still need to learn more about the programs itself, especially understanding how to "program" a bot to run interwiki accordingly. I have tried to find information, but not yet successful. Again, apologize for the troubles made. Regards Tjmoel (talk) 14:59, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Kingpin, it is true that I didn't read carefully all the guidelines. I just thought that running the script which was made for is already good enough. Still blur on the programing wise though. I just hope that the bot will not be blocked so that I could still update the interwiki (manually). I am still searching the "way" for interwiki-ing the templates. Thanks for your offer to help, I will for sure ask you later for guidance. Regards Tjmoel (talk) 04:20, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi Kingpin, I just realised that I have been running the bot (still) without the bot flag. I completely forgot to take out from the list (user-config) on interwiki. The main reason is that I am currently updating all the categories on idwiki (the idea come from WP:WPSS - id.wiki has a lot of clean.up to do). I know that this sounds a bit too much, but the only way (from my point of view) to update the interwiki is to use en (because of uniform naming etc) and I have difficulties on other languages. Could you tell me if my "actions" will jeopardize the bot to be blocked ? Thanks for your assistance. Rgds, — Tjmoel  bicara 01:08, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi Kingpin, thanks for your message. I have excluded en from the list interwiki. I apologize for the edits done on templates (I have rectified some which should be in the documentation), however the others seems okay (again, from my point of view - especially that there were already interwiki exists so that +id was just added in the row). Hope that's okay as well. I will try to find out how to "fix" the interwiki into the documentation page instead of the normal on (if I could do so). In the mean time, I might just exclude and/or do that manually. Thanks for your assitance. Cheers — Tjmoel  bicara 15:30, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Or perhaps, could you change the default edit summary from "(Warning, your page has been marked for deletion)", to "(Notice, your page...)". "Notice" seems a littler friendlier as "warning" could imply they have done something wrong. Which, for a7's they haven't. :) Thanks, @Kate (parlez) 18:04, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh, okay. I figured that there was a way to have a custom summary, just wasn't aware of what it was. :) Thanks much, @Kate (parlez) 18:50, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Hmm. Tried logging in to WikiAlerter again and received the following error message:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Any ideas? @Kate (parlez) 01:48, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Well, I'm using my brother's computer for it (he has Windows), so that's how I got around the Mac problem. I extracted all the files into the same location, but then moved the Alerter.exe to the desktop, so that it would be easier to find. Do you think that had something to do with it? @Kate (parlez) 17:23, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Yep, that did it. :) Thanks, @Kate (parlez) 18:54, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

sorry for the late reply! actually the site i got her birthday from (http://www.123people.com/s/piper+katie) cited wikipedia's exact words. so if no primary research is accepted, then so be it!

Looks like we're double-booked

I see your bot made some steps into the WP:PENNSYLVANIA task, but I've also got a pending request to tag for the project here. They've also asked me to auto-stub and inherit classes; something I note your bot doesn't appear to be doing. I don't want to step on any toes here, so how do you want to proceed? I can send you my .XML file with the inheritance matrix if you'd like to start offering this functionality as well! Auto-stub is easy, you just need to preparse the article pages for -stub}} first... –xenotalk 15:15, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism of Leap Year page

Please discontinue vandalizing my edits to the leap year page. If you have a problem with any of my edits please discuss it with me in the discussion page.

MichaelkourlasBot bot flag

How long does it take for the bot flag to appear on a bot? It does not seem to have appeared on MichaelkourlasBot yet. --Michael Kourlastalkcontribs 15:56, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Got your email but sorry, haven't had time to do anything about it yet, will after Christmas. My OS is Windows XP. Yes, you may include me on group emails with those five, but no more - I'd rather my email address wasn't spread around widely. Cheers, JohnCD (talk) 10:16, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

SDPatrolBot 4

Hi, any chance I can get a (compiled or original) version of the code the bot uses for checking for G3 and G10? I'm thinking about incorporating that functionality into Kissle. Thanks a lot. Tim Song (talk) 15:45, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
