Yesterday OpenStreetMap.org has included GraphHopper for bike and foot routing which shows the notability of GraphHopper. Although even without this GraphHopper is 'notable' as articles were written in jaxenter and the Java magazine from Oracle (!)

When you warn a user about a violation of the username policy, and at roughly the same time post a report on WP:UAA you pretty much tie the hands of the admins who patrol UAA. Unlike at WP:AIV, UAA does not act shortly after a warning is posed. Instead the UAA guideliens say that sicne the warnign contains a request to change userename, we have to wait and see if s/he will request the change. So if you are going to warn for username issues, don't bother to report at UAA. And if you think the name is bad enoguh to warrent prompt blocking, don't bother to watn the other editer either. That is just how UAA works, in contrasty to most other notice boards DES (talk) 05:23, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

WereSpielChequers would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Wikipedia:Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact WereSpielChequers to accept or decline the nomination. A page has been created for your nomination at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ceradon. If you accept the nomination, you must state and sign your acceptance. You may also choose to make a statement and/or answer the optional questions to supplement the information your nominator has given. Once you are satisfied with the page, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so. |
Thanks for the revert. FYI, that kind of lunacy can be reported straight to AIV; any experienced admin will recognise it. Or, when (barring a last-minute disaster) you get your own banhammer, it's safe to block the IP without another thought. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:55, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
Ceradon, with less than 15 minutes remaining on your RfA (and a healthy 84% support margin), I would like to send you an early congratulations. I have no doubt you will be a fine administrator and I look forward to seeing you around the encyclopedia. Best, MJ94 ( talk) 20:36, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello. I reverted the changes you made here. Ordnance is for guns, and ordinance is for a city law. The word ranch is often used for Mexican and Spanish ranches in California: It is now an accepted English word. Thanks for checking this article. BeenAroundAWhile ( talk) 01:06, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi Ceradon, I have closed your request for adminship as successful. Congratulations on the positive result; however, while your request was a clear pass, there was significant opposition with regards to whether or not you have enough experience. My advice is to be careful and if you're unsure/need help, feel free to ask someone for advice - there is no shame in doing so. As always, the administrators' reading list is worth reading and the new admin school is most certainly available if you feel that you might require some practice with the tools in a safe environment prior to applying them elsewhere on the project. Good luck with your adminship! Acalamari 20:51, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Are you sure? I'm getting a very bad vibe from them. Most of their contributions consist of 2015 and look what "good" has come out of it. I understand their reasons; it's just the way they approach, especially after disagreements. I seriously disagree with their implied (if I am correct) statement that AlexTheWhovian was at fault for their actions: you are responsible for your own actions, no matter the situation. Are you sure? Callmemirela {Talk} ♑ 04:01, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ceradon. Regarding Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Alakzi, I'm wary of what WP:EW says about "consider all sides, since perceived unfairness can fuel issues". In fairness to Alakzi, I was initially inclined to place a reciprocal block on AlexTheWhovian for their campaign to drive away productive contributors, intentional or not. Seems to be a history of baiting by AlexTheWhovian that has contributed to the situation. However, the real issue is coming up with a plan and resolution for the access color issue. To that end, I'd prefer to just give a pass with another stern warning to AlexTheWhovian, and give some WP:ROPE to Alakzi and unblock with a firm admonishment, esp re: civility. Interested in your thoughts. (I've got u on my watchlist for now)— Bagumba ( talk) 02:58, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Ceradon! I notice you've been keeping an eye on Alex The Whovian and his fondness of late for pushing editors beyond the point of constructive discussion. You might want to take a look at a couple discussions on Whyedithere's talk page beginning at User_talk:Whyedithere#Extant and continuing in the thread that follows. Whyedithere has done a couple article splits recently, and being a newbie, screwed them up in the way newbies often do. Alex is on his case about a comparatively small error, then in his attempt to fix it, actually made it worse. Thankfully, an admin came along soon after and sorted it all out, but Whyedithere is now so pissed off and defensive, there's no way anyone can work constructively with him until he cools down. Trust me, Whyedit is no saint (AussieLegend and I are building an SPI case right now, and he's just come off a block), but Alex really gave him an unnecessarily bad time. Then there's the charming little exchange about gay marriage and straight pride at the end of it all. Not a problem yet, but on the cusp, to be sure. Anyway... I thought I'd give you a heads up, given your recent action. I'm not sure there's any action needed; I left a message on Alex's talk page suggesting he dial it down a bit. Let's see what he does. -- Drmargi ( talk) 18:43, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. :) True CRaysball | #RaysUp 09:58, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
Though I suspect the form of your proposal wasn't quite right to be widely accepted, I wish you would have kept your proposal open for more than a day, to give time for more editors to weigh in. Even if the proposal didn't achieve acceptance, the discussion is invaluable to gaining insight into what may be acceptable to the community in future. A quick withdrawal unfortunately gives the impression that the proposal lacked a degree of forethought, which I assume was not the case.
My personal suggestion is to have professional mediation to work out the best approach in cases of dispute (and ideally, binding content arbitration, but I know that will be an even harder sell). One key to success is for the process to clearly include the community's input, and not be seen as the imposition of the will of an autonomous group. At present, though, the idea hasn't garnered much support. isaacl ( talk) 03:46, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

I see and applaud your short block on User:Olowe2011 and I have noted they have an alternate account at User talk:Wiki-Impartial which they are not using to circumvent the block. This is good. But I also note that they have asked to be part of DRN. To me this is a challenge, because they lack experience here as the reason for the primary account's block shows in full measure. I am simply making you aware as the blocking admin. I have no idea how or whether to pursue this, so I am here for your advice. Fiddle Faddle 15:14, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

When you warn a user about a violation of the username policy, and at roughly the same time post a report on WP:UAA you pretty much tie the hands of the admins who patrol UAA. Unlike at WP:AIV, UAA does not act shortly after a warning is posed. Instead the UAA guideliens say that sicne the warnign contains a request to change userename, we have to wait and see if s/he will request the change. So if you are going to warn for username issues, don't bother to report at UAA. And if you think the name is bad enoguh to warrent prompt blocking, don't bother to watn the other editer either. That is just how UAA works, in contrasty to most other notice boards DES (talk) 05:23, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

WereSpielChequers would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Wikipedia:Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact WereSpielChequers to accept or decline the nomination. A page has been created for your nomination at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ceradon. If you accept the nomination, you must state and sign your acceptance. You may also choose to make a statement and/or answer the optional questions to supplement the information your nominator has given. Once you are satisfied with the page, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so. |
Thanks for the revert. FYI, that kind of lunacy can be reported straight to AIV; any experienced admin will recognise it. Or, when (barring a last-minute disaster) you get your own banhammer, it's safe to block the IP without another thought. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:55, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
Ceradon, with less than 15 minutes remaining on your RfA (and a healthy 84% support margin), I would like to send you an early congratulations. I have no doubt you will be a fine administrator and I look forward to seeing you around the encyclopedia. Best, MJ94 ( talk) 20:36, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello. I reverted the changes you made here. Ordnance is for guns, and ordinance is for a city law. The word ranch is often used for Mexican and Spanish ranches in California: It is now an accepted English word. Thanks for checking this article. BeenAroundAWhile ( talk) 01:06, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi Ceradon, I have closed your request for adminship as successful. Congratulations on the positive result; however, while your request was a clear pass, there was significant opposition with regards to whether or not you have enough experience. My advice is to be careful and if you're unsure/need help, feel free to ask someone for advice - there is no shame in doing so. As always, the administrators' reading list is worth reading and the new admin school is most certainly available if you feel that you might require some practice with the tools in a safe environment prior to applying them elsewhere on the project. Good luck with your adminship! Acalamari 20:51, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Are you sure? I'm getting a very bad vibe from them. Most of their contributions consist of 2015 and look what "good" has come out of it. I understand their reasons; it's just the way they approach, especially after disagreements. I seriously disagree with their implied (if I am correct) statement that AlexTheWhovian was at fault for their actions: you are responsible for your own actions, no matter the situation. Are you sure? Callmemirela {Talk} ♑ 04:01, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ceradon. Regarding Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Alakzi, I'm wary of what WP:EW says about "consider all sides, since perceived unfairness can fuel issues". In fairness to Alakzi, I was initially inclined to place a reciprocal block on AlexTheWhovian for their campaign to drive away productive contributors, intentional or not. Seems to be a history of baiting by AlexTheWhovian that has contributed to the situation. However, the real issue is coming up with a plan and resolution for the access color issue. To that end, I'd prefer to just give a pass with another stern warning to AlexTheWhovian, and give some WP:ROPE to Alakzi and unblock with a firm admonishment, esp re: civility. Interested in your thoughts. (I've got u on my watchlist for now)— Bagumba ( talk) 02:58, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Ceradon! I notice you've been keeping an eye on Alex The Whovian and his fondness of late for pushing editors beyond the point of constructive discussion. You might want to take a look at a couple discussions on Whyedithere's talk page beginning at User_talk:Whyedithere#Extant and continuing in the thread that follows. Whyedithere has done a couple article splits recently, and being a newbie, screwed them up in the way newbies often do. Alex is on his case about a comparatively small error, then in his attempt to fix it, actually made it worse. Thankfully, an admin came along soon after and sorted it all out, but Whyedithere is now so pissed off and defensive, there's no way anyone can work constructively with him until he cools down. Trust me, Whyedit is no saint (AussieLegend and I are building an SPI case right now, and he's just come off a block), but Alex really gave him an unnecessarily bad time. Then there's the charming little exchange about gay marriage and straight pride at the end of it all. Not a problem yet, but on the cusp, to be sure. Anyway... I thought I'd give you a heads up, given your recent action. I'm not sure there's any action needed; I left a message on Alex's talk page suggesting he dial it down a bit. Let's see what he does. -- Drmargi ( talk) 18:43, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Though I suspect the form of your proposal wasn't quite right to be widely accepted, I wish you would have kept your proposal open for more than a day, to give time for more editors to weigh in. Even if the proposal didn't achieve acceptance, the discussion is invaluable to gaining insight into what may be acceptable to the community in future. A quick withdrawal unfortunately gives the impression that the proposal lacked a degree of forethought, which I assume was not the case.
My personal suggestion is to have professional mediation to work out the best approach in cases of dispute (and ideally, binding content arbitration, but I know that will be an even harder sell). One key to success is for the process to clearly include the community's input, and not be seen as the imposition of the will of an autonomous group. At present, though, the idea hasn't garnered much support. isaacl ( talk) 03:46, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
Drama? I tried to be polite. I posted two civil posts which came from old-timers. I asked for a week so things could cool down.

I see and applaud your short block on User:Olowe2011 and I have noted they have an alternate account at User talk:Wiki-Impartial which they are not using to circumvent the block. This is good. But I also note that they have asked to be part of DRN. To me this is a challenge, because they lack experience here as the reason for the primary account's block shows in full measure. I am simply making you aware as the blocking admin. I have no idea how or whether to pursue this, so I am here for your advice. Fiddle Faddle 15:14, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
