Autopatrolled

edit

Hey just wanted to say thanks for giving me the Autopatrolled thing! Just curious though, what did I do to get it? DonEd (talk) 04:59, 7 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi DonEd, the reason you were given this right is because you were on a list of potential candidates for the autopatrolled userright. However, merely being on the list isn't automatic qualification for the userright, rather, the criteria are: 1. creating a lot of articles, and 2. creating articles of good quality. As your articles fits that criteria, you got the userright. I hope this answers your question. Best. Acalamari 10:31, 7 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Consumer capitalism

edit

Hi Acalamari -- I turn to you as a friendly administrator, seeking a little bit of advice and maybe some assistance, if you have a moment. You were so nice a few weeks back, you're the first one I thought of.

The topic is the article on Consumer capitalism. User:Mjleknick4 recently added a good deal of text to the article. I reverted it, with an explanation on the talk page citing my reasons. The biggest problem is that part of that text is a copyvio, but it's also unreferenced, unformatted, with smaller subjective issues about tone. User:Mjleknick4 reinserted it without comment. These two entries are his or her only edits, ever. I assume good faith & want to stay encouraging etc.

Could you look at these edits? And tell me what you think? Really appreciate it -- --Lockley (talk) 05:06, 8 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi Lockley! Looking over this, I see no problem in what you did by removing the information, and will not object to you removing it again if a significant amount of it is a copyvio (I'm not taking a side by saying that, rather, copyvios should be removed on sight, and reverting copyvios is exempt from 3RR, see the exceptions). The only point I have to make is that it might have been a good idea to have directed Mjleknick4 to the discussion you started on the talk page, as it is possible that the editor may not be aware of it. I recommend removing the material again (as said above, you are not revert-warring by removing copyvios), direct the editor to your post on the article's talk page, and wait for them to respond (they have not edited since you posted to their talk page, so it's fair to give them a chance to respond). If they discuss, that's great! If they keep reverting, do let me know about it. I don't think I've missed anything, but let me know if I have. I hope this helps. Acalamari 10:55, 8 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
that helps a lot! I'll proceed as you recommend. thanks! --Lockley (talk) 02:54, 9 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

And I final final request, can you accept/deny my request for file mover. Thanks Gabesta449 edits chat 21:26, 9 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Hmm...looking over that, it wouldn't really be appropriate for me to accept your request when another admin, in this case Graeme Bartlett, has expressed a concern. However, he did recommend on your talk page to get the image you mentioned here renamed, so my recommendation would be to go to Graeme Bartlett's talk page and post a link to this discussion and see if it's enough to relieve his concern. Best. Acalamari 21:35, 9 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hey, thanks for the file mover right! I've already started using it. I've always wondered why only sysops could move files. :-) --Jsayre64 (talk) 03:16, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

You're welcome! Though, to be honest, admins haven't always been able to move files: I'm not sure when the ability for admins to move files was introduced, but when I first became one (July 2007) the feature wasn't available. I'm glad it's around now though, and for non-admins too. Acalamari 10:34, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Fields (Progressive Rock Band) deletion

edit

Thank you for deleting the page Fields(Progressive Rock Band) I stuffed up. I must have had selective blindness to not see that the space was missing. An utterly appropriate deletion after the utterly appropriate move done by shirt58. I promise to look closer next time. Reynardo (talk) 14:34, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

It's okay! It was a minor error, and nothing worth worrying about. I only came across the page because Nima1024 tagged the typo for deletion after Shirt58 had moved the page. No harm done! Best. Acalamari 14:42, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the shirt

edit

and for your support. I was actually starting to wonder who it was that some of the supporters were talking about... Funny thing - one of the last edits I made before the close was a non-admin closure of an AfD, and I had to get help! The kid who had nominated his own article had got his capitalisation wrong (which I sorted along with the closure) and also put his nomination in the wrong place at the Log (which I couldn't find a way to get at. The admin who'd speedied the article by this time sorted that out. I've explained to the kid that it's easier to blank the page and NOT to do it again anyway. In a friendly sort of way. Going now to look for my cap and satchel... Peridon (talk) 19:07, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

edit

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:14, 14 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

re: Speedy-deletions under CSD#R2

edit

You recently deleted User:Doug butler/M. W. Holtze, citing CSD#R2 in the edit summary. As a redirect from the Userspace to the Mainspace, it was technically ineligible for criterion R2. That criterion only applies to redirect from the Mainspace. We are trying hard to clean up the cites to the R2 clause so that it's not so widely misunderstood by new users. In this case, there was no harm done because the redirect was speedy-deletable under criterion U1 but if you could help us keep the logs clean in future situations, it would make the education process easier. Thanks for your understanding. Rossami (talk) 21:20, 21 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I see that while there was nothing wrong with the deletion, its rationale was wrong. I'll take greater care in future when deleting such redirects. Thanks for letting me know. Best. Acalamari 21:39, 21 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Autopatrolling

edit

I don't create as many articles as I used to, but could I get the autopatrolled rights? Because when I do create some new articles, sometimes I check to see if they get patrolled and often they don't, I've noticed that the legit pages' titles usually don't stand out as much as vandal ones like "brian is a douchebag" which often leads to a patrolling overlook. Thanks. Daniel Christensen (talk) 17:02, 31 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

I understand, it's because I used to create a lot of shotty articles. Now I don't even really create them very often, I fix existing ones that are shotty to near, or recently, to attaining a GA status. Whether or not a page is patrolled doesn't seem to make that much of a difference anyway. It's really just a vandalism prevention measure. I just happened to come across an autopatrolling message by you on the talk page of someone who was reviewing my GAN and thought I would give it a shot. Daniel Christensen (talk) 20:40, 31 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Yes, sure, I thought I had rollback rights, in fact I almost know I did, I notice that when I look at a pages history or compare revisions, sometimes options (ie revert vandalism) are not there, and sometimes they are. Maybe it depends on what browser I'm using. Rollback rights would be convenient, I've occasionally manually done such things by editing an old revision. I have only done one review type thing, and that was a GA review I did while my GAN was being reviewed. Daniel Christensen (talk) 21:15, 31 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have a question

edit

Within the couple of months, I tried to have the article for actress Alexis Fields re-created, the link is currently locked from re-creation at the moment. Both of my requests at deletion review were turned down: [2] [3] Today, I contacted Ms. Fields through Twitter, she gave me permission to re-create the page and I even asked to make her own suggestions in my userspace for her: User:QuasyBoy/Alexis Fields. Other than two minor edits, she said the page was fine. Here are the series of tweets I shared with her [4] [5] [6]. My question is, with permission from Ms. Fields herself, is it officially OK for the page to go live again. QuasyBoy 19:00, 18 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

OK, Thanks for the advice. :) QuasyBoy 20:32, 18 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
No problem. :) The funny thing is, the person (User:Otto4711) that nominated the article for deletion has been blocked for using multiple accounts, LOL. But, one thing I cannot stand is when articles are deleted simply because the article is bad shape which probably was the case with Ms. Fields. Apparently there many deletion nominators that have not heard of cleanup tags. QuasyBoy 20:50, 18 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Don't worry, I will try to add more, despite my dire difficulties with that. :( About Ms. Fields, I'm sure she will be fine either way. :) QuasyBoy 21:14, 18 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

I ran for RfB years ago but withdrew it very quickly as it was evident it was clearly not going to succeed at that time. Bureaucratship is the only other position I've thought seriously about because it's an extension of what I already do, and several people have encouraged me to run again. However, I'm not planning a run for now, and I stated my reasons here when RfBs were being discussed in early April. I am very impressed with the current RfB active at the moment.

Bank of Hawaii/BananaObama block

I have been watching a bit of apparent vandalism or maybe just poor editing at Bank of Hawaii over recent weeks and helping to keep the page clear of it, as have other editors. I haven't found any specific documentation on the block you've initiated on this user, who is one of three to execute the edits in question at BoH, so I thought I would just draw to your attention to the history of the Bank issue as I've been able to lay it out there.

For the record, I came across the user because I watch the Barack Obama article, and I saw some blatant trolling by the accounts ObamaBanana and aforementioned BananaObama on its talk page. Hope that explains how I came to block the account. Best. Acalamari 19:30, 6 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
You are most welcome. It's a pleasure to see your work and keep on learning. I've gone my (final? for now) lap back there. Cheers. Swliv (talk) 18:16, 8 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Me again. I had thought there was a connection between the BananaObama editor and an IP 65.113.119.85 editor. While I haven't done a close textual analysis, the two I've linked to there are close enough on quick inspection I think to support my thought. Even without proof of connection, though, I'm back because the IP 65... editor has now five successive edits reverted on the BoH page since June 29 and I think on that ground alone deserves consideration for further attention. Clue Bot NG has executed one of the five reversions and signaled that "Your edits have been automatically marked as vandalism", but I'm thinking a full block is called for. If you can effect this (or would like more groundwork/textual analysis, say, before proceeding), I'd appreciate your help/suggestion on it. I'm also letting User:SQGibbon know, who weighed in earlier on the BoH talk page on the matter. Thanks again. Swliv (talk) 19:36, 12 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
And again. Aargh. Sorry. I made a mistake -- three different IP#s all starting with 65 account for the five edits. And there's a sixth by a 194..., I think it is. I've addressed the new complexity in more detail over at BoH talk, but the short of it is, I could wait a little longer and see if they all seem to be the same editor, or otherwise a "cluster," as I've thought they are but now can't say with any confidence. I leave it to you. And if you hold off, I'll come back when I have a better read. Sorry, again, and thanks. Swliv (talk) 20:39, 12 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

I saw your administrator review, so I went to look at all the stuff you had done as an admin. However, I couldn't find anything to complain or comment about in your review, so I decided to tell you to keep up the good work! Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:59, 7 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
