Re Admin

• Have at least 3 months of active editing and more than 1000 edits will help you alot. Becoming a member of the counter vandalism unit doesn't automaticly qualifly you for admin --JAranda | watz sup 22:48, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

• Still Little Time in my opininon. You know what If you have some good work and if you could wait until December I will nominate you for Admin Is that Ok ;). --JAranda | watz sup 23:02, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

• Some advice that could help you. 1/4 of your edits are on your own user page. Edit a bit less there. Do some article wrting,cleanup,removing POV more and of course revert more vandalism. And vote your opinion in AFD and that could clearly help you alot. --JAranda | watz sup 23:07, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

• More advise:

I see you want to be an admin. Follow JAranda's suggestions and I guarantee that you will make it. Also, some editors appreciate admins who are a bit responsive. Im sure that you've read Splash's (I think) comment about about your signature. Though you do not have to change it (afterall its yours), it would show others that you appreciate and listen to their comments or concerns. If I could remember the link, Id show you, but a page here said that it would be great if you did not choose a sig that shows bigger and brighter than everyone elses on a page, its annoying or it gives the impression that you are more important. Now Im not saying that you act that way, believe me, thats not my intention, Im sure that you are a cool guy, but your signature is a bit garish. My old sig was also excessively ornamented and gaudy, and when others commented on it, I changed it quickly (not because I had to, because it shows thoughtfulness). It gave others a good impression of me. Oran e (t) (c) (@) 04:35, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Greetings from the United Federation of Planets

Hi, I have just noticed a dispute between you and several other users. I just want to tell you what I think. I am not taking sides or anything as that is not my place.

Firstly you fight vandalism well though not yet perfect but thats ok given no one is perfect. Hence there is room for improvement just like all of us.

I will be blunt below. Please do NOT take it personal, you are a valued member of the CVU and I would not want you to leave. So please dont.

1. I noticed you give away test4's too easily. Giving a test1 prior to a test4 makes it easier for admins to block vandals. Think it this way, this destroys vandals ability to complain about the block.
   • This will also look beter on an RfA, which is a long process.
   • There will be trolls that want to get on your nerves just so you make a 'mistake' that will look bad on an RfA. So far I do not see any but people will want to annoy you on the sole fact that you are annoying them by reverting their vandalism.
2. IRC backup. We have several people with bots backup code. It is a first come first serve thing. Generaly however the person with fastest bw gets piority as a gentlemens agreement. Reason is simply that the person running the bot sacrifices significant bandwith, for example I cannot revert pages fast enough due to my bot. Other RC patrolers using my bot beat me in it :P
   • Also catch me on IRC this weekend for an update on the code. I improved the detection algorithm quite a bit ;)
3. Template deletions. I completely understand how you feel. I had made several bold atempts with the intention of improving wikipedia. I like your creations especcialy the wantadmin template. Sometimes people do not agree with you. It sucks but dont let this get personal to you. This doesnt mean they hate you.
   • I created the Template:CVIP which got deleted. There are many examples of my attempts to create something new that in my view would make wikipedia a better place. But only a few got acceptance. I still learn from my 'mistakes' as learning from mistakes is a life long experience.

• I cannot talk for everyone, but I think you are a good editor.
• Dont take recent events as a discouragement.
• Learn from why something you are doing is bothering another and create something better that makes everyone happy.

Thats all i got for now. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. If you are offended from any of this my appologies in advance, know that it wasnt inteded to offend you and you may want to hear a clarrification. --Cool Cat ^Talk 19:36, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Back up your threat

in user talk to 64.251.53.130 you made a threat to block a vandal. The vandal attacked today's feature article. Will you make good on the threat, or was it all bark?--grubbmeister 16:01, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

67.15.136.199

Sorry, but I had already gone to bed. Generally, I'm on IRC if I'm actively on Wikipedia (I'm not today because I'm just here for a bit, doing some "paperwork" if you will and checking on things, can't stay on long), so if I'm ever on IRC you're always welcome to ping me if you need an admin. You're still welcome to message me if I'm not, but you'll have the best luck if I am on IRC. Sorry if you were having trouble tracking someone down! Keep up the good work with the vandal-squicking!

Bots, automated vandalism warnings and a hell of a lot else

I'm aware that you're trying to get hold of scripts to edit Wikipedia automated or semi-automated in order to add automatic vandalism warnings. I would advise that you do not try running any bot on Wikipedia without:

1. Reading WP:BOTS
2. Getting permission (on that page) to trial the bot

Wikipedia policy states that the bot account will be blocked if it is caught running without permission - mass, automated, rapid changes in page content are almost always danger signs.

Adam, it seems something about our work here isn't quite clicking, with you, and I'm concerned that people are seeing you as a nuisance and a pest. That's obviously not your intention - I know you only want to fight vandals, but perhaps someone needs to explain some things to you. I see you failing to understand that consensus drives what we do here, and that spamming User_talk:Jimbo Wales with requests for what the community considers petty matters is not a good idea.

If you would like, I can try to help you - I can point out useful pages that you must read, and I can give you some practical and straightforward advice on how to improve your reputation on the wiki and how to be taken seriously. I continue to assume good faith with you because I know what you do behind the scenes, but I'm worried that some of our less understanding administrators and other users may start losing patience.

I also know that I'm not the only user worried about this - Cool Cat, Drini and Essjay are also not too happy. If you would like me to give you some general advice and keep an eye on you, and let you know when you do something a bit silly, then of course, I can do that. What do you say? Rob Church ^{Talk | FAHD} 03:39, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

I'd agree with Rob, I think many who have spoken to you know you are very keen to get on and help out, which is a good thing, but you'd probably be better using that enthusiasm initally to work with people and talk through ideas/problems with a few you trust. --pgk^(talk) 06:55, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

I did not spam Jimbo's talk page!!! If your definition of spam is ask a one line question you just spammed by talk page 3 times. (I dont think you looked your self at it) --Adam1213 Talk+ 16:07, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Adam, we are wikiproles, we must seize the instruments of production from the administrator class, rather than seek to join them.

deletion

I was trying to delete the 'contemporary thesis...' section. The reason is this: I created that section about two weeks ago, and since then it has been completely changed wherein it only lists two theories of time as being contemporary theories of time, which is of course completely inaccurate. Also, the page does not mention presentism, one of the most widely discussed theories, instead it only mentioned 'eternalism', equating it with the A-theory of time, which is extremely dubious.

Changes to your warn page

Good afternoon Adam1213. I made a slight change to your User:Adam1212/warn page. You had an incomplete heading (missing the ending "==") for the note above the templates you are still working on. I missed the comment and tried to use the 3RR template. Went back and then noticed your comment. I tested to my User Page to see how Test1 worked. Nice!

Hope you don't mind that I made the change. And, thanks for developing the handy warning tool. ERcheck 21:28, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Templates for spammer

I took a stab at working the templates for the spam warnings. Unfortunately, I created "autowarns" in User:Adam123/autowarns. I was not allowed to move the page. I'd appreciate it if you would move the page to User:Adam1213/autowarns. That should complete the suite for spam warnings.

I'm new at this, so I'd appreciate any suggestions. If you would like me to stop working on the warnings, just let me know. No offense would be taken.

(BTW, how do you get the signature tildes to stay in the autowarn pages without it expanding to a signature?)

-- ERcheck 00:40, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the extra explanation on nick. I fixed that on the autowarns pages. --ERcheck 01:33, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Please don't exploit MediaWiki bugs - User:Adam1213/autowarn

Dear Adam: You have created a self-signing page at User:Adam1213/autowarn, which you achieved through the use of a known MediaWiki bug of being able to insert four tildes into your signature (see the bugzilla report for more information). I would be grateful if you would please remove the tilde group from the page. Best regards, --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 01:07, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

I read that thing and I feal that in this case it is not being used for fraud and can't be because of how it works, however maybe not everyone should be able to get to the instructions on doing it. If however it had been proven that this was causing a problem with the database or the software I would remove it immidently. --Adam1213 Talk + 08:00, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

monobook.js

Hello, I have a couple questions for you regarding my monobook.js file. As I can't write or read whatever language(java?) the monobook entries are in, I decided to just steal someone else's monobook(.js). What I want to do is add a few tabs to the page, one for sending my vandal warning message one for showing their edit count, and one to bring up the last diff. I am not how much of this is possible, so after experimenting a little, I asked Essjay(who has returned!) who directed me to the user scripts wikiproject. I chose you from the members list because I remembered a idea of yours on the Counter Vandalism Unit talk page make the test messages a one button operation. So if you could help me I would very much appreciate it, Thanks

fair use images on userspace

As you are a member of the wikiproject userboxes, I guess you'll be aware of the controversy surrounding the userboxes. Well, while they won't be likely to be killed, it raised awareness about other issue: fair-use licensed images cannot be used in user pages, only on articles (since that's essential for the fair use claiming.

I'll try to explain. For claiming fair-use, the image should be related to the context on which it's used. so for instance, using the Microsoft logo on Microsoft's page would fall under fair-use, since Microsoft itself it's being discussed, while using it on a signature wouldn't, since the image it's not really being used for a reason.

You may notice for instance, that the userbox for "this user uses FireFox" doesn't have the firefox logo, since it's allowed: {{user fox}} displays

This user contributes using Mozilla Firefox.Adam1213/Archive 3

and it doens't use the firefox logo

Finally, I will point you to the page of the project you belong to: Wikipedia:WikiProject Userboxes from where I quote:

Notices

Urgent tasks!

These are the tasks which need to be completed quickly to prevent more useful userboxes being lost at TfD or otherwise:

• Remove all fair use images from userboxes. Their usage violates fair-use guidelines. Only fair use images need to be removed – NOT others.

o '"Fair use images should only be used in the article namespace. They should never be used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages." Replace with text or another suitable image.

Since using fair-use images on userspace it's copyvio and thus it's not allowed on wikipedia, I had to remove the autoit icon you had on your userbox, please don't take this personal as it's something admins are doing will over wikipedia in the following days. You can contact Cool Cat or ask on #wikipedia to verify this happening.

Please drop me a note if you'd like further comments. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 07:13, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

The firefox userbox cannot use the logo at [1] because of the following.

1. The mozilla logo isn't released under GFDL, CC or other free licenses (for instance, you cannot modify the image, it's copyrighted to the mozilla foundation). Taken from mozilla's FAQ page :

Can I modify your logos and distribute the result?

No, sorry. The logo files themselves (e.g. the ones distributed with the apps) are copyrighted, and so making and distributing any derivative works would be a copyright infringement.

It follows that the logo it's not under a free license and thus we can only use it under fair-use as you can check on [2].

2. to claim fair-use, it would need to be used on an article discussion the image itself (that's what fair-use covers). Since userboxes are not discussing the image, fair-use doesn't apply to userboxes.

3. Fair-use applies only to article namespace, not userpages.

Moreover, notice the tag on the image page stating that the image isn't being used anywhere. Since we're not using, we cannot claim fair-use to host it (if we don't use it, we're not doing a fair use of it) without violating copyright , so it will have to be removed anyway in a few days. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 22:33, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Templates and new sections

Hi Adam1213, I noticed that a recent vandalism warning you left on an anon's talk page broke the formatting (I fixed it when I blocked that anon) and since it used to happen to me a bit I thought I'd let you know how to avoid it. I assume you are using scripted test messages (you click a tab at the top and it adds {{test}} to the page). If you are editing the page with the "+" to create a new section, when it puts the edit summary of "{{test}}" in it ends up looking like =={{subst:test}}== and looks like this...

Sooooo, to avoid that either don't hit the "+" and use the clickable test messages, or just change the new section heading to not have the curly brackets. :) --Syrthiss 15:31, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

As I remember, the last spam that was handed out was on the 20th of December last year, so I think it's time for another update. First and foremost, the new Advisory Council and Administrator General have been elected. They consist of myself as Admin General and FireFox, Titoxd, Flcelloguy and Karmafist as the Advisory Council. We as a group met formally for the first time on the 31st of Decembe. The minutes of this meeting can be found at WP:ESP/ACM. The next one is planned for tonight (Sunday 29 January) at 20:30 UTC and the agenda can be found at WP:ESP/ACM2.

In other news, Karmafist has set up a discussion about a new personal attack policy, which it can be found here. Other new pages include an introductory page on what to do when you sign up, So you've joined Esperanza... and a welcome template: {{EA-welcome}} (courtesy of Bratsche). Some of our old hands may like to make sure they do everything on the list as well ;) Additionally, the userpage award program proposal has become official is operational: see Wikipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award to nominate a userpage or volunteer as a judge. Also see the proposed programs page for many new proposals and old ones that need more discussion ;)

Hello. Just wanted to mention that I made the user tabs script that you requested. It adds tabs for edit count, block log, page move log, and contribs. It's at Wikipedia:WikiProject_User_scripts/Scripts/User_tabs. Please let me know on my talk page what you think and any additional tabs that you think may be useful.

Re: tabs

Hey Adam,

The code works for me. However, it depends on two other javascript functions that you did not include in your monobook.js. These dependencies are listed in the WP:US listing. I added the my code as well as its dependencies to the sandbox for you. Where (talk) 01:42, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

P.S.: Please let me know how it goes on my talk page. Where (talk) 01:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

RfA Thanks!

Okay, this is perhaps a bit overdue, but thank-you for your support in my recent RfA! I passed with a final vote count consensus of (82/1/0), which was a lot of support that I really appreciate. I'll try to live up to the expectations; and on that note, if there's ever something I do wrong (or don't do right), please spit in my general direction. Cheers! --PeruvianLlama^(spit) 05:31, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

RE:user tabs

As listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject_User_scripts/Scripts, it requires add LI link and add tab. Where (talk) 13:20, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Also, note that the dependencies must be included before the user tabs code, as shown in your sandbox. Where (talk) 13:50, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Another Esperanzial note...

Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".

The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.

Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

Sir, if you check that article, a user you had warned if they committed one more act of vandalism, did so again, repeatedly, after your warning. It would be greatly appreciate if you dealt with them, since the rest of us are trying to write good articles. Thanks! old windy bear 03:53, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Well Where Do I Start.

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #1

Reach out Reach out is a program aimed at allowing users to bring issues that they have had in Wikipedia to a listening, sympathetic and caring audience: "No one can know how we feel if we do not say. We cannot expect to get understanding if we do not ask for it. No one will dispute that sometimes life's issues are too much for one person. It is fair to say that sometimes Wikipedia's problems fall under the same heading. This is a place where you can bring the bruises that can sometimes be got on this project for attention." Stress Alerts The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them. Note from the editor Welcome to this new format of the Esperanza Newsletter, which came about during the last Advisory Council meeting - we hope you like it! The major changes are that each month, right after the Council meeting, this will be sent out and will include two featured programs and a sum up of the meeting. Also, it will be signed by all of the Advisory Council members, not just Celestianpower. Have an Esperanzial end of March, everyone!

The last AC meeting (full log) Future meetings are to be held monthly, not fortnightly as before. Bans and Access level changes (apart from autovoice) in the IRC channel are to be reported at the new log. In the IRC channel, there is going to be only one bot at a time. The charter requires members to have 150 edits and 2 weeks editing. Why this is the case will be clarified. A new Code of Conduct will be drafted by JoanneB and proposed to the Esperanza community. The NPA reform idea is to be dropped officially. Charter ammendments are to be discussed in future, not voted on. The Advisory Council is not going to be proposed to be expanded by the Advisory Council themselves, if others want to propose it, they will listen. Signed...

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #2

Barnstar Brigade The Barnstar Brigade is a new program aimed at giving more very deserving yet unappreciated users barnstars. It will officially start on 2006-04-09, but signing up is encouraged before this date: "Here in Wikipedia, there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go un-appreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go un-noticed. Sadly, these editors often leave the project. As Esperanzians, we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. A project the size of Wikipedia has thousands of editors, so there are plenty of people out there who deserve recognition, one just has to find them. The object of this program is not to flood editors with Barnstars, but to seek out people who deserve them, and make them feel appreciated." Stress Alerts The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them. Information Welcome to the second issue of the new format Esperanza Newsletter - we hope you still like it! This week, it was delivered diligently by our new dogsbody. MiszaBot (run by Misza13): any execution complaints should go to him. Content comments should be directed at the Esperanza talkpage. Thanks!

The last AC meeting (full log) The next elections: Approval voting as before and, also as before, an previous leadership member can run. Please submit your name for voting in the relevant section of this page. Voting starts on 2006-04-23 and ends on 2006-04-30. There will be three places up for grabs as KnowledgeOfSelf is leaving Wikipedia. Please see the previously linked page for full details. The Code of Conduct is now ready for extensive discussion! Specific comments should go to the Code of Conduct talk page, discussion of having one at all should be directed to the main Esperanza talk page. The current process for accepting proposals for new programs has been deemed fine. All Advisory Council members and the Admin Gen are to endevour to be bold when viewing discussion. If they feel that consensus has been reached, they will act accordingly. A plea from the editor... The propsed programs page is terribly underused! Please leave any comments, good or bad, on the page, to help us determine the membership's thoughts on the ideas there. Signed...
