Question about the etiquette on creating a disambiguation page

The word Geocentric goes to a redirect page to the entry for "Geocentric model". There is another definition of Geocentric. I would like to make a disambiguation page which would point to a new page on Geocentric coordinate systems as used in mapping and GPS technology.

I posted a comment to the Geocentric model discussion page (in case anyone is watching it) to see if there needs to be some kind of vote or something. What is the etiquette for this? Is it good form to just take over the redirect page, turn it into a disambiguation page and move on?

I'm not going to edit the existing Geocentric model page...

Thanks in advance Jlhollin (talk) 18:38, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

UBX/Science

Hi, Mentifesto. The word "science" in the userbox is sentence-capitalised purely because I think it looks nice. Uncompelling, yes, but I wasn't aiming for grammatical accuracy when I made it – if I were, I'd use a full stop at the end. I'd prefer to keep the userbox as it is. You're more than welcome to make a userbox of your own if you'd like: more science userboxes are better than fewer. Cheers. – Liveste (talk • edits) 22:02, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

hello mentifisto I am new on wikipedia. I was adding some sources as you asked. I hope it is OK now. I have a discussion page on that name as well. Don't know the guidelines very well.. ~~Vingerhoet~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vingerhoet (talk • contribs) 05:10, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

VideoAge International page

Hi. I'm making a page about a business and it keeps getting reverted back to it's original version that's quite dreadful by a bot or occasionally you. The original is terrible, but there's another version in the archives that's a great many times better. If you could insure that this second version stays (I hope you agree that it's better) that would be great, as I'm new to Wikipedia and not the greatest editor. A few edits were changes because a YouTube link was posted, but I can assure you it was not spam but rather a link to the business' youtube chanel. Again I really hope you can help.

Pages blanked by author

Hi. Though page blanking is usually vandalism and needs to be reverted, it is worth looking first at the page history, because quite often the author has blanked his own page, as was the case with Ben boylett just now. In those cases the best thing is to tag it {{db-author}}. It can be confusing for an author who realises his page is inappropriate and blanks it, if his page is at once restored and he is accused of vandalism for the blanking and told it was unconstructive. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:35, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Usually they blank it to also blank the db tag though, so that's why I thought it's not usually necessary just to re-tag it. -- Mentifisto 19:40, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the help - I told the other party they were "a bit naughty", the user has apologised and I have accepted so hopefully we will be able to carry on the discussions without that sort of thing happening again.

Thanks for the link to refactoring, it may be of bebefit in the next day or two when we have to cut the page size down with archiving - I will probably push for a FAQ discussion and summary

The article was edited due to a number of inaccuracies including the fact that the actual legal name is Kiwi International Airlines. Kiwi Travel international Airlines was changed in 1995 to Kiwi International Airlines. The number of convictions asserted by the original authors is wrong. Wilson was convicted on 4 charges of misuse of a document. The comments regarding the security commission cannot be found in the Securities Commission report.

I reverted it since you say it's vandalism (I don't know about the topic so all I knew was that they reduced the page size considerably) although as an editor you could have done it as well by editing the correct revision and saving it (or undo if it's 1 edit). :-) -- Mentifisto 13:20, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

I would have reverted, but it was already on the second edit and I do not think I would have been able to rewrite all that info again! :D Thanks again! Raul17 (talk) 13:35, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry if that was factual (yes, sure, anything's expected from South Park I guess...). The ulterior fact is that we get many people inserting 'penis' in articles randomly, so if it was factual it could easily be mistaken for vandalism. -- Mentifisto 11:55, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" edit war

Hi sir. I was looking at the Working Class Hero article and saw a sizable chunk dedicated to Green Day. This is not appropiate as many other artist have made a cover version of this song. Please don't revert my edits by explaining that I did not have a reason which I certainly posted. I will defend this article about a John Lennon song because no one deserves to pig tail on other's peoples work, and Green Day has no place in this article other than on the Notable covers section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.22.37.55 (talk • contribs) 05:01, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

User:91.153.136.16

Hi... I noticed your note on this user's talk page. I'm getting a soapy feeling about the ELs. I'm thinking about removing them per Wikipedia:External_links#Links_normally_to_be_avoided: "11. Links to... personal web pages, except those written by a recognized authority." I looked at the site, googled around about it: I don't see any evidence the writer is a "recognized authority". What do you think? --Rrburke^(talk) 17:39, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, way too many articles to be an authority on. Besides, they're like dictionary definitions and we don't usually link to every entry from a single dictionary on every article. -- Mentifisto 17:43, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

What about this? This appears to be someone's personal website. Nice pics and all, and the guy is an architect, but the simple fact of being an architect doesn't make you a "recognized authority". --Rrburke^(talk) 17:58, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it is just a personal website spread all over articles after all. They might as well link to google images for every article... if people want to find out more the resources are available. -- Mentifisto 18:07, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

I'd add them to my mind-numblingly boring things I need to do list. Along with removing the mainspace ELs on this list and this one and this one.

Hi there, fellow RC patroller

Hi, I've recently started spending a heap of my time patrolling the Recent Changes, and have been reverting possible vandalism (lots of anonymous IP-based content deletions), I was wondering if you have any tips to give me on mopping up vandalism? Flaming Grunt 09:48, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, since you seem to use TW to do the job (which is a great program... just isn't optimized for rollback) huggle is an even better utility for patrolling. Much faster and efficient. Although first you'd need to request rollback (which is the best tool in itself for reversion since it communicates directly with the software). -- Mentifisto 09:52, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your feedback. I'll try Huggle tomorrow. ;) Flaming Grunt 10:04, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Also, I wanted to tell you that I've made a custom Bookmarklet for posting general warning into vandalists' pages:

javascript:void(document.getElementById('wpTextbox1').innerHTML+='\n\n==Vandalism==\n{{subst:uw-vandalism3}}\n\n');

Basically, it just appends the vandalism3 template as a stern warning to the user talk page

A level 3 warning to begin with? Do you bookmark this and access it every time you want to warn them? -- Mentifisto 10:10, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism reversion

Umm... yeah, I know the level 3 is a bit straight there, but it is quite convenient for me.

Would huggle do the job automatically so I can dump my level 3 bookmarklet? Flaming Grunt 10:14, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, with one click of a button huggle both reverts and warns. :-) -- Mentifisto 10:16, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Wow... Huggle is really better than TW for reversions... Getting huggle now... Flaming Grunt 10:17, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Because commentaries shouldn't be in an encyclopedia and because of violating NPOV. If you want you can post it on the talk page although this isn't a case of thanking someone for creating a page... the page is there because your uncle meets the notability criteria and wouldn't be created if he wasn't and wanted one. -- Mentifisto 18:36, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes your right, the redirect should not be there. As you say, this is not explicit vandalism, but it is a pointless redirect and certainly not well intentioned.

Hey Berig... no problem. I thought you were doing good and so would probably pass (had no idea that you were admin before though). In regards to the latter, it would be weird reciprocation, I suppose. -- Mentifisto 17:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I don't know whether it would be a wierd reciprocation. I have seen you do a lot of vandal fighting and you have a high edit count. However, I probably shouldn't push you. Going through an RfA is not a nice experience.--Berig (talk) 18:56, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes, but besides that not much else (like you, with article building). It wouldn't be a nice experience because I don't have any GAs... I've been a gnome at heart, so far, so people will complain about that (and about the weird reciprocation bit - I meant that it would seem like we're exchanging nominations, which I don't suppose is normally sensible). But do you really think I've done well up to now? -- Mentifisto 19:09, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

You are probably right. It would look like we were exchanging nominations, and I never thought that far. I just want you to know that I am grateful. As I had been an admin back in 2005 and I had effectively de-admined myself voluntarily, I really wondered whether I would ever go back to my former status as an admin. Just tell me if I can help you out with anything.--Berig (talk) 19:18, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Certainly, if I'm ever in need. :-) I think you could have been re-admined if you talked with a steward although I suppose re-gaining the trust using another username was appropriate (Keilana did a similar thing some time ago). -- Mentifisto 19:30, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

admins and edits

if a person reaches a level four warning is their account deleted or is there a more severe punishment? if their account is simply deleted what stops them from creating a new account?

Accounts aren't really ever deleted but after the warnings (which are manual - MediaWiki doesn't do anything) they're reported to WP:AIV and blocked if necessary. If they create an account and start vandalizing again then the same happens and may be reported to WP:SSP (and a possible checkuser) if people notice the connection. -- Mentifisto 03:17, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I felt that the level 1 vandalism notice you issued to that IP regarding its edits to List of Heroes episodes was somewhat conservative given the explicit nature of the vandalism. I have reported the IP to WP:AIV in any event. Cheers. Taroaldo (talk) 03:19, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Caction tool

Hey Mentifisto. That was actually an intentional feature – the toolbox links only appear on base user and user talk pages, so it seemed logical to have the links solely in the user options menu, keeping things the same on all user pages. If you want, there's a new option which you can configure to suppress the removal of the toolbox links. (The links will still appear in the user options menu; since MediaWiki doesn't add the toolbox links on user/user talk subpages, having the menu links will still be useful in some cases.) haz (talk) 20:48, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! -- Mentifisto 02:10, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion tags

Usually admins will delete accompanying talk pages of articles they deleted. So there's no need to tag both the article and the talk page. If they do forget to delete the talk page, you could then just use the CSD G8 tag. Killiondude (talk) 18:25, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

hi

fair call just dont like that guy. got a question though, how come vandalism is immediately picked up, but when i lament on state of minds discussion page that the article is out of date, it will go unnoticed for months? 121.98.147.250 (talk) 02:04, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Because vandalism (or any edits) could be seen at Special:RecentChanges. Patrollers might see the message on the talk page but since most probably they aren't interested in the band they won't do anything. You'd need to contact someone who is - User_talk:Nzmusichead began the article but hasn't edited since then. Or you can of course improve it yourself. :-) -- Mentifisto 02:10, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

so to really bring change I need to vandalise that article to draw attention to it?121.98.147.250 (talk) 02:12, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

No... if there's nobody that could improve it nobody would. Vandalizing will only attract negative attention. -- Mentifisto 02:13, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

meh... hopefully someone will verify it as opposed to just deleting it.... 121.98.147.250 (talk) 02:24, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

It's not usually deleted if it's not blatant vandalism. Only controversial edits that are unsourced are deleted mostly. -- Mentifisto 02:27, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
