Hello Bgwhite, my name is Carol (wich is the latin version of "Carl" in Gemany, so I'm a man, not a woman), and I was asked to try a kind of mediation between your english and the german project. I read the dialogs on de:VM and on the pages in de: that were involved, so I got a first impression what happened. May I try an overview?
As far as I see you're one of two managers of the english Syntax-Project, and you do some support for different languages, too. You tried to include your service to the de:Project-Pages by redirecting them to your en:Project to fasten up response-times. This was reverted and re-reverted by you, for this idea haven't got applause on de: Therefore things were escaleted and ended up on th vandal page. Is this right? Or have I overseen an important point?
If interested in deescalation (as I am), I would like to help by explaining the ideas and actions on both sides to oth sides. In case you agree with that I invite you to give me a comment.
Kind regards, -- Carol.Christiansen ( talk) 08:59, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
Let me give a first conclusion, for I need to go offline for a few hours and will not be able to answer:
You need to get an efficiant information system for problems and questions about the syntax project. Therefore you wanted to set a redirect from the de: talkpage to the en: talkpage, what does not match with the rules and common behavior on de: We had some troble cause of that, for this local behavior wasn't known when you did those edits, but now you do. So both sides should do their bow: OK, we both where mistaken; your edits haven't been vandalism, even if they where against our local rules; and on the other side it would have been a bit more helpfull, not to redo those edits and to find out the differences between projects before editing. In my eyes this is a problem of the kind of: "OK, shit happens; let's forget about it drink a beer together."
I guess it's more important to find a way to work together, respecting the needs of both sides. At this moment the idea is to recruit a "translator", maybe a professional in dealing with scripts and the wikisoftware. This person needs to be found on de: and should give you the support you need.
Is this the way to get a common base? Or do you have better ideas to improve the connection?
Have a nice day, even if it started a bit nasty.

FYI: Hello Bgwhite, I will take to some other guys, who are also active with general syntax correcting and created some scripts on dewiki, how the future of dewiki's project page and talk page should look like, especially if the project (page; on dewiki) currently covers/should cover a more general area of correcting syntax, not tied to your tool only.

Hello,
I have few full days in hand at this moment. And I am in a very cheerful mood right now for several reasons including Swami Vivekananda's birth anniversary.
Could you please set up Bengali (bn) and Hindi (hi) Sarkarverse, so that I can start working immediately?
The best help you can do is by setting it up in next few hours. Umm, thank you? :)

Are you reusing the error numbers? For example, number 1 once was "No bold title" and now is "Useless word template inside a template". You really, really shouldn't do this. Checkwiki is a database and ID numbers should never be reused in a database. Even if one of the numbers is not used any more and seems to be "free". It's very confusing to have old lists, edit summaries and such referring to an error number that has a completely different meaning now. In my case it's this list that became wrong and confusing now. I can't simply add the new errors to the end. I'm sorry if this sounds nitpicking but I really think this is a major problem and should not be done. -- TMg 14:28, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Hello Bgwhite, yes toolsserver is dead, but we move the script to tools.wmflabs.org/checkwiki/. I agree with Tmg: pleace use new ids for your new errors and don't reuse old numbers. -- sk ( talk) 14:22, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
Please don't mix these things. You are quoting AGF, so please allow me to do the same. It was meant as a friendly advice when I told you you will be blocked. You got. But not by me. Many other users had a problem with your edits. Many reasons were given. I regret that I reverted your edit. I should not have done that. We don't have to be friends but I really, really want us to be respectful partners. I strongly belief that what we are doing for so many Wikipedia languages is very important. It would be a shame if we couldn't find a way to work together on a professional level. I'm sure we will find a better solution for the outdated German page instead of a soft redirect that doesn't explain anything. What you call a prime example is me trying to clean the talk page. If every question is answered and no follow-ups appear for one or two weeks I will move everything to the archive and basically replace the page with a proper hint to use the other talk page. Please give us a little more time to do that. -- TMg 15:18, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of that template. As you know, spellings weren't standardized in the C19th and variations do occur. I think it is important not to rewrite history by "correcting" apparent "misspellings". I endeavour to accurately record ship names as published in the sources used.

Hi, I'm finally back home and ready to work on WPCleaner.
How do you want to proceed for the new errors that are replacing old ones ? I can easily replace the old errors by the new ones for all wikis, but doing so only for some wikis is more problematic. Otherwise, I could simply deactivate temporarily some errors in WPCleaner and activate them once they are managed in the same way on all wikis by the script.

kwami & TMg Let's blow up the old model as we have to edit all the translation pages anyway. Currently, CW checks 45 active wikis. 37 have translation pages and 5 are "versity" or "sources" that could use their parent's file. That only leaves 3 to add and English is no longer the "default".

I am not sure I understand why your bot is adding http:// in situations where it is not needed, or even desired. I am talking in particular about the article Aachen and then about the instances in the inline citation section. I understand the desire to have a link as opposed to a sequence of words and alphanumeric characters, but in this situation the link that is needed and desired for convenience was just one section lower in the Reference section. As per handling embedded links it states to not place the http:// in the inline sections. Granted I could be reading this wrong and my main point, as I assume yours, is to produce a more consistent product and do so with the least amount of resistance and provocation.

Hello Bgwhite, I've come here before and you've always been very helpful. I want to move an article, Infante Fernando, Lord of Serpa to Fernando, Lord of Serpa but the latter is a redirect page since the article has been moved more than once. There are other articles I want to move later on when I reference and expand, and I think that honorifics such as titles should not be used unless the character is better known by that name (there are a few exceptions in Spanish and Portuguese). So, if you agree, could you please leave Fernando, Lord of Serpa available for the move. I will then take care of changing the links in the pages leading to the article. Many thanks and regards, -- Maragm ( talk) 08:58, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Dear Bgwhite,
You removed an edit I placed on the Pine Bush page, and your removal of that content was inappropriate.
I am a Journalist accredited by the Orange County Sheriff's Office and have credentials that they issued after a review of my standing. I operate a Public Advocacy informational web site and have an online news entity in the design phase.
Today the Public Advocacy Web Site WALLKILL WIDE AWAKE [1] published the other side to this story of alleged antisemitism in the Pine Bush School District, and the rush to judgement lead by The New York Times, Andy Cuomo and the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
The above information was added to the Pine Bush Page and if the Times and US Attorney's information remains, this information should remain also. While everyone knows who these other entities are, you may not know that some of the information in the NYT article was obtained by a local stringer who took advantage of a mentally challenged worker at the local McDonald's Restaurant and cited that information as credible in the article. He also interviewed a person who was driving through Pine Bush and has no other knowledge of the person or where he lives.
The article was based on a law suit that was filed a year and a half before the article came out and the case was refiled in January in order to make it current to the activities of the developer who along with his father the former Chancellor of Yeshiva university who stepped down in disgrace over a number of sexual abuse incidents which he swept under the "carpet," have coordinated an attack on the community to establish a need for a religious girls school.
Their ties to the NYT and Cuomo have been used to slander the people of the area, and you are helping by not allowing an alternative point of view which is every bit as genuine as the NYT article.
Relative to the development a Sullivan County Supreme Court Judge has issued a Temporary Restraining Order pending a hearing and litigation of a Show Cause Order to have the development stopped in that the annexation of the property being developed was illegally annexed to the Village of Bloomingburg. This is directly related to the Pine Bush lawsuit.
Either take down the references to the Times article and the statement by the US Attorney or put back my reference. Your inclusion of those two items without rebuttal is prejudicial and biased.
Very truly yours,
Vincent A. Ferri, advocate@wallkillwideawake.org--

Looks like the issue you mentioned was my own error; I recently reinstalled Windows and had to reconstruct my AWB settings file from scratch, and it looks like I bungled the tag text that I was appending. I just changed it, and then ran a test where I tagged an article in AWB and then immediately hotcatted the appropriate categories to see if the problem had been fixed or not — and my change seems to have worked, so thanks for the heads-up.

Hi Bgwhite, searching for my own contribution (which is naturally now stored in your archives) I found some issues. First, the link for "Archive 15" in the upper right hand side box points to "Archive 16", so "Archive 15" is currently inaccessible (by link). Unfortunately archive 15 is the archive, where my last contribution is stored... Additionally, new posts are stored in "Archive 22", which means that links to archives 20, 21 and 22 are missing in the box on the upper right hand side.
Concerning the well-known article Gary Wheaton, I am surprised that there are so many people who are not willing to accept the facts for a politician and try to clean out the article to disguise the reality. It's like an edit-war. Now the article is in a nearly-acceptable state, for the time being. You might want to have a quick glance at the changes since our co-work cleanup. Even though I do not know him, he seems to be a quite popular guy in the US (despite having a short article). -- FlugTurboFan ( talk) 19:23, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Granted I could be reading this wrong and my main point, as I assume yours, is to produce a more consistent product and do so with the least amount of resistance and provocation.

Hello Bgwhite, I've come here before and you've always been very helpful. I want to move an article, Infante Fernando, Lord of Serpa to Fernando, Lord of Serpa but the latter is a redirect page since the article has been moved more than once. There are other articles I want to move later on when I reference and expand, and I think that honorifics such as titles should not be used unless the character is better known by that name (there are a few exceptions in Spanish and Portuguese). So, if you agree, could you please leave Fernando, Lord of Serpa available for the move. I will then take care of changing the links in the pages leading to the article. Many thanks and regards, -- Maragm ( talk) 08:58, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Dear Bgwhite,
You removed an edit I placed on the Pine Bush page, and your removal of that content was inappropriate.
I am a Journalist accredited by the Orange County Sheriff's Office and have credentials that they issued after a review of my standing. I operate a Public Advocacy informational web site and have an online news entity in the design phase.
Today the Public Advocacy Web Site WALLKILL WIDE AWAKE [1] published the other side to this story of alleged antisemitism in the Pine Bush School District, and the rush to judgement lead by The New York Times, Andy Cuomo and the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
The above information was added to the Pine Bush Page and if the Times and US Attorney's information remains, this information should remain also. While everyone knows who these other entities are, you may not know that some of the information in the NYT article was obtained by a local stringer who took advantage of a mentally challenged worker at the local McDonald's Restaurant and cited that information as credible in the article. He also interviewed a person who was driving through Pine Bush and has no other knowledge of the person or where he lives.
The article was based on a law suit that was filed a year and a half before the article came out and the case was refiled in January in order to make it current to the activities of the developer who along with his father the former Chancellor of Yeshiva university who stepped down in disgrace over a number of sexual abuse incidents which he swept under the "carpet," have coordinated an attack on the community to establish a need for a religious girls school.
Their ties to the NYT and Cuomo have been used to slander the people of the area, and you are helping by not allowing an alternative point of view which is every bit as genuine as the NYT article.
Relative to the development a Sullivan County Supreme Court Judge has issued a Temporary Restraining Order pending a hearing and litigation of a Show Cause Order to have the development stopped in that the annexation of the property being developed was illegally annexed to the Village of Bloomingburg. This is directly related to the Pine Bush lawsuit.
Either take down the references to the Times article and the statement by the US Attorney or put back my reference. Your inclusion of those two items without rebuttal is prejudicial and biased.
Very truly yours,
Vincent A. Ferri, advocate@wallkillwideawake.org--

Looks like the issue you mentioned was my own error; I recently reinstalled Windows and had to reconstruct my AWB settings file from scratch, and it looks like I bungled the tag text that I was appending. I just changed it, and then ran a test where I tagged an article in AWB and then immediately hotcatted the appropriate categories to see if the problem had been fixed or not — and my change seems to have worked, so thanks for the heads-up.

Hi Bgwhite, searching for my own contribution (which is naturally now stored in your archives) I found some issues. First, the link for "Archive 15" in the upper right hand side box points to "Archive 16", so "Archive 15" is currently inaccessible (by link). Unfortunately archive 15 is the archive, where my last contribution is stored... Additionally, new posts are stored in "Archive 22", which means that links to archives 20, 21 and 22 are missing in the box on the upper right hand side.
Concerning the well-known article Gary Wheaton, I am surprised that there are so many people who are not willing to accept the facts for a politician and try to clean out the article to disguise the reality. It's like an edit-war. Now the article is in a nearly-acceptable state, for the time being. You might want to have a quick glance at the changes since our co-work cleanup. Even though I do not know him, he seems to be a quite popular guy in the US (despite having a short article). -- FlugTurboFan ( talk) 19:23, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
