Assorted Stuff edit

Do you know what happened to the category "Peruvian Terrorists?" I noticed that it dissapeared, but don't know why. I added Belunde, Garcia, and Fujimori to the list, as I felt they fit the definition, and I noticed that it suddenly went away. Perhaps rather than get in a fight about it, everyone would rather just see the category deleted.

Also, do you know anything about Barry Seal? His article is only a stub, and you are the kind of guy who would know a lot about him. Descendall 01:47, 23 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

Hey, thanks for the polite response in the email. On a side note, I'd really appreciate it if you editted back Pol Pot, as the current version is simply inaccurate in terms of dates.

Daniel Ortega edit

Thanks for the note. I've been noticing POV creep on both the Ortega article and the Sandinista article but haven't had time to get into them. The POV in the Sandinista article consists mostly of Trey Stone sprinkling in repetitious and somewhat inaccurate references to Marxist and Cuban influences. It's true that the Sandinistas were influenced by both Marx and Cuba, but he makes it sound like they started out without any Marxist ideas and those got snuck in later. I think he also exaggerates the Cuban influence and makes it sound like Nicaragua was simply a client state of Cuba. There is also some language about Sandinista human rights abuses that is poorly-sources and excessive, and Trey chopped out some perfectly accurate statements about U.S. interference in Nicaragua elections since 1990, replacing it with the unsourced and untrue claim that the U.S. has not exerted any influence at all.

With regard to Daniel Ortega, I think there is a place for some of the assertions that have been added lately. Lots of people (including many Sandinistas) are unhappy with Ortega's heavy-handed control of the FSLN, and there has been quite a bit of understandable speculation (although there is no proof) that he had a hand in the murder of Carlos Guadamuz (whose name is misspelled as Guadamus in the recent edit). However, it is over the top and POV pushing to simply label Ortega a "dictator." He led a revolutionary movement that overthrew a dictator and is the first example in a very long time of a revolutionary who came to power through force of arms but left voluntarily when he lost an election. He's not a saint, but the Sandinista-bashers shouldn't be allowed to portray him and the FSLN as devils either.

I have a friend who lived in Nicaragua for the better part of a decade who might be interested in doing some editing on those articles. I'll give her a call and see if I can get her hooked on Wikipedia. ;-) --Sheldon Rampton 11:03, 26 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

Personal attacks edit

Why is it that the best defense which can be culled by you in support of massive deletions of material is to repeatedly state that I and others are engaging in such acts as "McCarthyite smears"? It is not productive and it establishes nothing but the fact that as an administrator you do not feel you need to adhere to certain Wikipedia rules, like on personal attacks.

Rv War "List of political parties in Peru" edit

User:Soman has started a revert war in the List of political parties in Peru article. He made a bunch of stub articles (rarely more that one sentence and none with sources) for a bunch of, for the most part, small relatively unknown political parties and put them on the thread. User:Messhermit reverted it and asked to talk it out in the talk page and then the war began. You can see it all in the page history. I ask that some action be taken.-Jersey Devil 05:13, 16 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

I did not initiate a revert war. Messhermit did. A study of the history of that page will clarify that. He also made a proposal on the talk page which, IMHO, has no grounds in terms of wikipedia policy (merging articles relating to separate political entities into a single article). The main source of the articles, which of course needs to be added in the respective articles, is from a document from ONPE, [8]. I also object to the statement that most of the parties would have been small or unknown. The list includes many parties that played an important role in a certain political context, but folded long ago. Also, there are many short-lived, but not necessarily unimportant, alliances between political parties included. --Soman 12:17, 16 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

"After a Cuban reorganization of the FSLN structure and tactics?" What utter crap.

Which, in my view, is a waste of everybody's time, including his.

Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Frank Jasper (Vision Quest) Article Scheduled For Deletion edit

Hi there, You have shown through your Wikipedia contributions that you're a fan of Matthew Modine and quite possibly the 1980s movie "Vision Quest". I created an article on actor Frank Jasper who played the villian, Brian Shute, in the movie. I've also included information about what Dr. Jasper is doing now. Many people have wondered through Wikipedia and Imdb whatever happened to him, and I've tried to put this information out there for everyone. Unfortunately, some people think the article should be deleted for whatever reason. If you loved the movie as much as I did, please go to this link and voice your support before the article is deleted. Thanks a lot. I would appreciate your support very much.

Hi, I was wondering (and I hope I'm not mistaken that it is you who wrote the article on the Eastman School of Music) where you found the US news report which had the rankings of music schools in the US and whether it is still available for viewing.

Wikipedia:How the Current events page works edit

Hi Viajero,

I came across Wikipedia:How the Current events page works for the first time and was very impressed with the ideas there, and I see that you were the person who first inserted that content. Where did you learn that stuff? It's really interesting. Is this the sort of thing one learns in journalism school? If so, I feel like I would probably like to become a journalist :)

thanks for teaching.

Fair use rationale for File:Christa Ludwig.jpg edit

Biased editing of Technological Utopianism by Loremaster. edit

Biased editing of Technological Utopianism by Loremaster.

Due to your past contribution to Technological utopianism, you may currently want to help editing the Technological utopianism article because currently only one editor is contributing to the article. The Singularitarianism Article could also benefit from your help.

I feel Loremaster is editing Singularitarianism and Technological utopianism in a biased manner in accordance with his Save The Earth propaganda. Loremasters's ideology seems to verge towards Neo-Luddism. Here are the damming facts Loremaster has stated in discussion:

Loremaster says he is:

"...critical of techno-utopianism in all its forms."

Loremaster wants people to:

"...stop indulging in techno-utopian fantasies... ...so that we can all focus on energies on saving the planet."

Loremaster sees his editing as a 'fight' and he states:

"Although I am convinced that the world is in fact heading toward an ecological catastrophe, I think it can be averted and my optimism makes me want to fight to do do just that."

  1. LOL
  2. Despite the fact that I openly admit to being a technorealist who is critical of techno-utopianism in all its forms, I have let never this point of view influence any of my edits or reverts of the Technological utopianism or Singularitarianism articles. On the contrary, I am the person most responsible for expanding the former article with content some would argue is “pro-techno-utopian” (i.e. passages from James Hughes' book Citizen Cyborg).
  3. I find it disgusting that 81.151.135.248 would take comments I made out of context to falsely make it seem I see my editing of any article as part of my fight for the environment.
  4. In light of this outrageous act of bad faith, I will do everything in my power to get this jerk banned from Wikipedia.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity edit

  Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Extended confirmed protection edit

Hello, Viajero. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

  • Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
  • A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins edit

Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers edit

Hi Viajero.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
