Me and my mate were wondering if there is any way of taking over (becoming a bureaucrat) on this wiki: Data crystal , we are asking you because it has been inactive for a long time, and we were hoping to try and take over to help fix it up. I have tried asking people on this wiki but no one is ever on besides me, the only other contributions are random IP addresses that spam the articles (even more then they already are). If you could please reply on my talk page it would be highly appreciated, thanks (This message has been sent to most bureaucrat's). -- MỸŠŦЄЯỸЊӘҒҒ ( talk) 13:44, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for renaming my account on January 11 - I recreated it as a placeholder, as WP:RENAME suggests.
WP:VANISH mentions that "Deleting the account's user page and subpages, possibly including talk pages" is possible, but doesn't say how to go about it. Can you do that, or tell me how to request it? (I'll look back here for a response.)

Hi, I know that you are involved with the Norwich F.C. article. (Great work, shame about the subject!) I noticed that the Managers section said "As of 25 November 2007", and was going to change this, but noticed many of the figures don't match with soccerbases e.g. Grant, Roeder possibly others. Before replacing them I just thought I would ask if you knew of why this might be e.g. soccerbase is wrong, or only league matches are counted or something. If not I'll change them to match soccerbase. Many thanks, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 22:15, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

I've effectively rolled back your edit removing controversial material to the entry. That section now contains two new online sources – both mainstream news organisations that should easily satisfy source guidelines – though I'd contend that the accusation from the mouth of the accuser should be sufficient. Anyhoo, I'll list further sources for that section on the talk page, though their inclusion doesn't seem necessary. 9Nak ( talk) 21:19, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

... additional tardy penguins... The Rambling Man on tour ( talk) 20:15, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi! This article, the . Forbidden City; really needs a semi-protection. I am getting crazy about restoring it, it is vandalised every day, even long series of serial vandalism, by IP adresses.
Also, well meaning IP adresses are removing vandalism instead of reverting it and by doing this cover up vandalism, and everyting is a mess all the time, you need to play detective to understand what is happening. Parts dissapear and vanish and vandalisms remain undiscovered. I do not think that the article gains much by being vandalized like this.
Please, would you consider this matter?

Hello,
In the article Janitor you reverted an undo that was in fact an anti-vandalism action by User:Alansohn who was reverting vandalism from User talk:74.39.228.1.
I have reverted your undo.
I noticed that you made this revert using some sort of UI called 'popups' and that you are an admin so I suspect that looking at the history logs it appeared to be a violation of the three revert rule. I would like to point out that I feel the main reason why there isn't some sort of automatic freeze after three reverts is precisely because it warrants human judgement to make a call as to what should be done and at a minimum an admin should examine what has been reverted before taking action.
May I suggest not using this feature of 'popups' in the future to prevent further accidents of this kind?

Food preservation, Fruit, Sloth; and Black panther - all these articles are vandalised every day by IP addresses, sometimes several IP addresses , covering up each others vandalism. No real contribution is made by IP, it is just a lot of work every day restoring vandalism, especially on Food preservation. Will you consider taking a look at these and possibly semi-protect them? Thanks

Thank you very much. No, I did not know about it.. I was asking you because I saw that you protected Christmas worldwide... From now on I will post requests there. But, one more question, if those two articles are protected, how is it possible that they are still vandalised? I have all articles on my watchlist and I see them being vandalised every day (see article history...).?

I don't understand how the page was inappropriate at the time of deletion, especially for a user page. I'm talking about http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Efnet_baseball2&oldid=270151162 which is what the page was before it was deleted. There's nothing offensive on it.

No-one addressed the biased treatment of Wikipedia editors towards articles that were similar to the WavePad article. The speedy deletion of an article that was created based on the GoldWave article was my attempt to prove that the editors of Wikipedia do not offer a balanced or objective role in editing the content of this site. I never swore, or was rude to any of the editors, I asked them to explain why the list of articles that I presented were not subject to the "speedy" deletion that WavePad was.
Nor have you.
So explain why the list of pages that I posted have not been deleted or treated in the same fashion as Wavepad. I really fail to understand the reasoning behind all of this and it is franky frustrating. You delete, you call me uncivil, yet you fail to explain any reasoning behind any of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Duckdad ( talk • contribs) 01:25, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
As stated above. The article on WavePad was a sheer rip off of the GoldWave article to prove that there is a biased attitude in the Wikipedia editors in regards to what you deem to be something that deserves the speedy deletion treatment. Can you please explain that? I don't want the other pages to be deleted. That's why I have not requested them to be deleted. So, as many of the wikipedia editors and administrators before you, you have failed to explain why WavePad gets deleted and not GoldWave. That is my question. There was no demand for any other pages to be deleted but a question on why one page gets deleted and others of a similar nature do not.
In the words of a stupid Australian politician Pauline Hanson - Please Explain! Aggressive? Uncivil? I'm just straight forward and demanding an answer that the editors, administrators and documentation you point me to is still unable to provide. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Duckdad ( talk • contribs)
I appreciate your response, however I still fail to see where I was uncivil unless Wikipedia is really a Buddhist temple and I failed to take my shoes off or something. When writing an article Wikipedia asks for contributors to cite sources, provide proof. So in essence my argument regarding the speedy deletion of WavePad with evidence to back up my claim is what Wikipedia demands. So what is it to be? Citations and sources for everything or? Mao would be proud of your empire built on the internet. Live in peace, harmony and knowledge, but don't question, argue or bring up valid evidence of hypocrisy.
I think I got confused initially as to which matches occured when, and as to whether he had retired from international matches and the riot was NSW v Eng or whether it was Aus v England... I dunno, the career section is a bit disorganised. SGGH ping! 21:35, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
I tried to clarify everything. During the entire GAC process, the reviewer never mentioned whether the article was clear enough for readers unfamiliar with the subject matter. Hopefully, my recent changes have rectified that. As for the use of terms like "emcee" and "rhyming", those changes were made by another editor, a hip hop fan, during the copyedit process. I believe the use of "emcee" as opposed to "rapper" is encyclopedic, although I do not prefer one term or another. ( Ibaranoff24 ( talk) 10:46, 26 February 2009 (UTC))
Good evening. I have changed my user account name from "BigFatPigCa" to "TagSmallPig". However, in the following edit history entry

The old account name BigFatPigCa still appears without being replaced with the new account name "TagSmallPig". How can I make it disappeared totally? I have read the renaming instruction and waiting for servel days. And the name still remains the old one.

Hello!
Hope you don't mind, I reverted the edit you made on that template to bold the text of the search term. As documented in Template:Otheruses templates, all of the other 8 redirect templates only add quotation marks around the search term without bolding it so I think that, for the sake of consistency, the same should also apply on this template. Let me know if you disagree, perhaps that should be brought up for discussion on the other templates then as well.

The correct usage in the case of a 'dated' event would be to use the flag that represented him at that time. The 'old' style flag is the correct usage for the 1978 world championship. However, since Perrie Mans is a living South African citizen, the flag that represents him as a person is the current one so the current flag should be used on things like his profile, and lists etc. Betty Logan ( talk) 15:44, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Dweller, This edit belongs to me. It just timed out and logged me out before I submitted it. I had actually considered the point you made about it ("English names and flags should come on the left, as they're the home team") before I made the edit. I could see arguments for both cases. On the one hand England are the home team, but on the other hand the West Indies are the team mentioned first in the article. As a result, I looked at how the template had been used in other articles ( see here), and the first 10 pages all had the away team in the left hand column. Therefore, I followed that convention.

What's up man?
I'm happy to see you are a bureaucrat. Congratulations!
And it's nice to know you are still heavily into sports.
Because that's what I need to talk to you about....
The team I'm leading has been going like mad for the past year in developing Wikipedia's Outline of knowledge (OOK). We're now taking on Britannica, whose Outline of Knowledge is currently of higher quality than ours. But not for long.
Unfortunately, the OOK doesn't have any outlines on specific sports.
In case you are interested...
There are some guidelines for developing outlines that I've been working on, which should help you get started. The WP:WPOOK also help explain where we're headed.
We don't create new outlines in article space (because of the danger of AfD to incomplete lists). They are kept as drafts as part of the projected outline until they are ready to be moved to article space. The sports listed on there are currently redlinks - because nobody has started drafts for them yet (hint hint).
We've been focusing mostly on geography, especially countries, and these are among our best outlines:
Some of the best outlines in other areas include:

Ok, here's the thing I need another set of eyes for. Fuhghettaboutit has done a heap of work on Kelly pool, originally nommed it for GA which I couldn't pass for lack of info. Since then he has really searched hard and found out alot of stuff which has meant the article has broken new ground on a cohesive, comprehensive and hitherto unavailable article due to alot of nosing around for obscure references. What he has done in collating the (very sparse) info has been one of the most impressive things I have seen since editing here. Anyway, in a way it is a shame it is here and not in some cue game newsletter or journal or other (which I have suggested he look into).

Hi,
Got the name changed. Now trying to action changes on the other wikis to re-establish my SUL.

Consequently I don't notice, provide the requested diff - which of course is signed from Mdcollins1984 instead of MDCollins. Ridiculous system eh?!

Sure thing, if a Wikipedia user looks up Playboy writer to use as a source to prove how good a certain cricket writer is, then the user is probably the subject himself who kept news/mag cuttings of praise of himself in a folder. Who else would look up playboy and porn magazines to find out information about cricket history? And if the original motive was an interest in pornography, I doubt it would suddenly motivate them to look up and write a 100k cricket history article. Personally I also wonder what inside knowledge they would need to know the subject's university results. Who else would use and search for an ancient playboy magazine as a source. The user must know that a certain playboy magazine praised Perry, so it is probably Perry himself who kept a cutting of Playboy praising him.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Better Backs, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{

notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Among the rot that was thrown at you, was one issue I noticed that I thought you might pay attention to. It seems that there is quite some opposition to the Outlines project - either in terms of its very existence, or in terms of the way it's been put up willy nilly.
I wondered if you had thought about responding to this in some way, perhaps with a discussive RfC, appropriately promoted at the VP, Signpost and CENT, to see what consensus said? You have some well-developed examples now (not to mention the chocolate animation!) for people to see what's being proposed.
Cheers -- Dweller ( talk) 11:49, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
No need to jog my memory - I remember some of this stuff well, and other bits I could have guessed at (like the long list of AfDs).
But I think I didn't make my main point clearly enough. It seemed from your RfA that no discussion of the project as a whole has ever been undertaken and there's a sizeable group of editors out there who seem to think it's being pushed through by a small group without proper discussion. None of what you present above amounts to a discussion of the Outlines project as a whole - just small bits of it.
Cheers -- Dweller ( talk) 10:15, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm surprised that you're being quite so aggressive in responding to Dweller's good natured comments - he has (from my observation) been a good friend to you on this project. I think the point that a few people are trying to make is that we aren't entirely convinced that outlines are articles. The closest thing to them that is generally accepted as mainspace content are lists, but those are expressly lists of notable things about which we have (or hope to have) articles. Outlines seem rather different and it isn't a type of content that has been widely discussed. You're quite right that there is no need for permission to add new content to the project, what's concerning some of us is that this looks to us like a different type of content.
It seems to me that a community discussion of outlines is on the cards, as there seem to be quite a lot of people with strong feelings about them. What I think Dweller is suggesting is that it might be better for that discussion to be kicked off by those involved in Outlines making a positive case for them and looking for support, rather than it being those opposed to them who end up "setting the tone" for any such discussion.

Hi Dweller, I was just reading through last week's WP:Signpost and had a thought. Your attempt to reintroduce the RD "thread of the week" award (in March 09 or so?) was met with, well, let's just say it didn't go over all that well... :)
However, I'm currently reading Hiding's roundup of events and it strikes me that would be a perfect place for you to continue those awards. It avoids the need for consensus, since it's an individual agreement between yourself and the Signpost author; others would be equally free to make suggestions to Hiding for their editorial discretion; and it could only serve to promote an amazingly productive piece of the wiki - when I want to check on RD/S, I only look at the very first lines on my watchlist, because it is always there. Just a thought. Franamax ( talk) 00:12, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi. :) Now that I'm back at my home base, since it was a courtesy notice which is sort of almost a template, I thought I'd let you know that I had replied to your message at User talk:Moonriddengirl#Courtesy notification. :) And to make it completely unnecessary for you to read it, I'll just restate here for the record that I can't imagine it would be controversial to restore the history of Country mile if the content that was there would be useful to you in your new article. And I'll add to that, as I've now had a chance to read over the deletion review request from a decent connection with more time to spare, that if you didn't want to write the article yourself but just thought that the lack of an article is a problem, that a soft redirect to wikt:country mile might serve. I know if the link is redlinked, contributors are more likely to actually create a usable article for the space, but in the meantime, those unfamiliar with the expression looking for information about it on Wikipedia will be able to easily access it. So far as I can tell, the redlink theory won't make much difference, as it currently is not linked from any articles. Oh, and I appreciated the personal note. Generally, a deletion review leads one to wonder what one has done wrong, and it was nice of you to take the time to tell me that you thought my actions were proper under the circumstances. :) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:32, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

I feel very validated! As you imply, another list had been wierdly pruned as part of a flawed edit, with only inferior candidates retained!! I stumbled across this, wiki-surfing across domains, and a mere glance at the list showed it to be absurd -- certainly severe flawed. That I, normally a very cautious editor, trashed most of the list showed GOOD instincts. In the scenario you describe, deleting the entire list to call attention to the absurdity led to a cognizant individual (you?) catching the error! Let's congratulate ourselves! (Or, if you prefer, insinuate that I am not qualified to make such a judgment; whatever.) Jamesdowallen ( talk) 21:33, 11 December 2009 (UTC) ... and yes, I did post in Talk, and wait a few days for response before I did the deletion.
And that's very reassuring. I was perplexed, because I didn't know what User:dmcq had done that merited reversion. Was he some banned user to be reverted on sight (at least in some editors' view)? So I checked his user page and he seemed like a perfectly clean (even exemplary) editor. However, there was still a faint lingering doubt about whether I had, in ignorance but good faith, aided a troll or thwarted some effort to protect the encyclopedia.
But I wouldn't worry too much; the Wikipedia servers have just been very strange lately, and I found that I'd done nearly the same thing this week at WT:WikiProject Cities, and I think also at the Ref. Desk, although fortunately not to substantial postings. For the moment, there seems to be no absolute guarantee of what will happen when you hit "Save" or "Preview". —— Shakescene ( talk) 10:09, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi! This article, the . Forbidden City; really needs a semi-protection. I am getting crazy about restoring it, it is vandalised every day, even long series of serial vandalism, by IP adresses.
Also, well meaning IP adresses are removing vandalism instead of reverting it and by doing this cover up vandalism, and everyting is a mess all the time, you need to play detective to understand what is happening. Parts dissapear and vanish and vandalisms remain undiscovered. I do not think that the article gains much by being vandalized like this.

Hello,
In the article Janitor you reverted an undo that was in fact an anti-vandalism action by User:Alansohn who was reverting vandalism from User talk:74.39.228.1.
I have reverted your undo.
I noticed that you made this revert using some sort of UI called 'popups' and that you are an admin so I suspect that looking at the history logs it appeared to be a violation of the three revert rule. I would like to point out that I feel the main reason why there isn't some sort of automatic freeze after three reverts is precisely because it warrants human judgement to make a call as to what should be done and at a minimum an admin should examine what has been reverted before taking action.
May I suggest not using this feature of 'popups' in the future to prevent further accidents of this kind?

Food preservation, Fruit, Sloth; and Black panther - all these articles are vandalised every day by IP addresses, sometimes several IP addresses , covering up each others vandalism. No real contribution is made by IP, it is just a lot of work every day restoring vandalism, especially on Food preservation. Will you consider taking a look at these and possibly semi-protect them? Thanks

No-one addressed the biased treatment of Wikipedia editors towards articles that were similar to the WavePad article. The speedy deletion of an article that was created based on the GoldWave article was my attempt to prove that the editors of Wikipedia do not offer a balanced or objective role in editing the content of this site. I never swore, or was rude to any of the editors, I asked them to explain why the list of articles that I presented were not subject to the "speedy" deletion that WavePad was.
Nor have you.
So explain why the list of pages that I posted have not been deleted or treated in the same fashion as Wavepad. I really fail to understand the reasoning behind all of this and it is franky frustrating. You delete, you call me uncivil, yet you fail to explain any reasoning behind any of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Duckdad ( talk • contribs) 01:25, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
As stated above. The article on WavePad was a sheer rip off of the GoldWave article to prove that there is a biased attitude in the Wikipedia editors in regards to what you deem to be something that deserves the speedy deletion treatment. Can you please explain that? I don't want the other pages to be deleted. That's why I have not requested them to be deleted. So, as many of the wikipedia editors and administrators before you, you have failed to explain why WavePad gets deleted and not GoldWave. That is my question. There was no demand for any other pages to be deleted but a question on why one page gets deleted and others of a similar nature do not.
In the words of a stupid Australian politician Pauline Hanson - Please Explain! Aggressive? Uncivil? I'm just straight forward and demanding an answer that the editors, administrators and documentation you point me to is still unable to provide. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Duckdad ( talk • contribs)
I appreciate your response, however I still fail to see where I was uncivil unless Wikipedia is really a Buddhist temple and I failed to take my shoes off or something. When writing an article Wikipedia asks for contributors to cite sources, provide proof. So in essence my argument regarding the speedy deletion of WavePad with evidence to back up my claim is what Wikipedia demands. So what is it to be? Citations and sources for everything or? Mao would be proud of your empire built on the internet. Live in peace, harmony and knowledge, but don't question, argue or bring up valid evidence of hypocrisy.

I tried to clarify everything. During the entire GAC process, the reviewer never mentioned whether the article was clear enough for readers unfamiliar with the subject matter. Hopefully, my recent changes have rectified that. As for the use of terms like "emcee" and "rhyming", those changes were made by another editor, a hip hop fan, during the copyedit process. I believe the use of "emcee" as opposed to "rapper" is encyclopedic, although I do not prefer one term or another. ( Ibaranoff24 ( talk) 10:46, 26 February 2009 (UTC))

The old account name BigFatPigCa still appears without being replaced with the new account name "TagSmallPig". How can I make it disappeared totally? I have read the renaming instruction and waiting for servel days. And the name still remains the old one.

Hi - just wandered by to say I loved this edit. What template's that, uw-doityourbloodyself1? :P — Vanderdecken∴ ∫ ξ φ 18:23, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Hello!
Hope you don't mind, I reverted the edit you made on that template to bold the text of the search term. As documented in Template:Otheruses templates, all of the other 8 redirect templates only add quotation marks around the search term without bolding it so I think that, for the sake of consistency, the same should also apply on this template. Let me know if you disagree, perhaps that should be brought up for discussion on the other templates then as well.

The correct usage in the case of a 'dated' event would be to use the flag that represented him at that time. The 'old' style flag is the correct usage for the 1978 world championship. However, since Perrie Mans is a living South African citizen, the flag that represents him as a person is the current one so the current flag should be used on things like his profile, and lists etc. Betty Logan ( talk) 15:44, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Sorry I didn't talk to you about it sooner... The Rambling Man ( talk) 18:50, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi Dweller, This edit belongs to me. It just timed out and logged me out before I submitted it. I had actually considered the point you made about it ("English names and flags should come on the left, as they're the home team") before I made the edit. I could see arguments for both cases. On the one hand England are the home team, but on the other hand the West Indies are the team mentioned first in the article. As a result, I looked at how the template had been used in other articles ( see here), and the first 10 pages all had the away team in the left hand column. Therefore, I followed that convention.

Hi Dweller. I noticed you a while back reviewed one of the other 1995 Grand Prix article I've been working on - the 1995 Japan GP article. I was wondering whether you could peer review the 1995 Brazilian Grand Prix article for me, when you come back from your wikibreak leaving you're comments here. If you could make any comments at the PR, that'd be great. Kind regards, D.M.N. ( talk) 17:11, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

What's up man?
I'm happy to see you are a bureaucrat. Congratulations!
And it's nice to know you are still heavily into sports.
Because that's what I need to talk to you about....
The team I'm leading has been going like mad for the past year in developing Wikipedia's Outline of knowledge (OOK). We're now taking on Britannica, whose Outline of Knowledge is currently of higher quality than ours. But not for long.
Unfortunately, the OOK doesn't have any outlines on specific sports.
In case you are interested...
There are some guidelines for developing outlines that I've been working on, which should help you get started. The WP:WPOOK also help explain where we're headed.
We don't create new outlines in article space (because of the danger of AfD to incomplete lists). They are kept as drafts as part of the projected outline until they are ready to be moved to article space. The sports listed on there are currently redlinks - because nobody has started drafts for them yet (hint hint).
We've been focusing mostly on geography, especially countries, and these are among our best outlines:
Some of the best outlines in other areas include:
It would be nice to see what Wikipedia's sports editors can do.

Ok, here's the thing I need another set of eyes for. Fuhghettaboutit has done a heap of work on Kelly pool, originally nommed it for GA which I couldn't pass for lack of info. Since then he has really searched hard and found out alot of stuff which has meant the article has broken new ground on a cohesive, comprehensive and hitherto unavailable article due to alot of nosing around for obscure references. What he has done in collating the (very sparse) info has been one of the most impressive things I have seen since editing here. Anyway, in a way it is a shame it is here and not in some cue game newsletter or journal or other (which I have suggested he look into). Two questions - (1) do you reckon it is worth a crack at FAC, and (2) any idea as to whether worth a note in the signpost etc. Casliber ( talk · contribs) 04:46, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi,
Got the name changed. Now trying to action changes on the other wikis to re-establish my SUL. One real stupid problem - everytime I login to another wiki (source/quote) etc with the old username, it logs into en.wiki with the old SUL. Consequently I don't notice, provide the requested diff - which of course is signed from Mdcollins1984 instead of MDCollins. Ridiculous system eh?! I'm surprised it even let me login to my old username at en.wiki actually.

Sure thing, if a Wikipedia user looks up Playboy writer to use as a source to prove how good a certain cricket writer is, then the user is probably the subject himself who kept news/mag cuttings of praise of himself in a folder. Who else would look up playboy and porn magazines to find out information about cricket history? And if the original motive was an interest in pornography, I doubt it would suddenly motivate them to look up and write a 100k cricket history article. Personally I also wonder what inside knowledge they would need to know the subject's university results. Who else would use and search for an ancient playboy magazine as a source. The user must know that a certain playboy magazine praised Perry, so it is probably Perry himself who kept a cutting of Playboy praising him. What kind of a cricket researcher would look up playboy for info? YellowMonkey ( cricket calendar poll!) paid editing=POV 01:42, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Better Backs, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

The history of my username is rather interesting.

After that, I decided to capitalize both and it became what it is today.
Personally I'd prefer to leave it be and stay this way for historical reasons, and I did register and have the doppelganger account "User:Mailer Diablo" to be set pointing to my account as well.

I was sorry, though not overly surprised, to see the way that it went. My commiserations.
Among the rot that was thrown at you, was one issue I noticed that I thought you might pay attention to. It seems that there is quite some opposition to the Outlines project - either in terms of its very existence, or in terms of the way it's been put up willy nilly.
I wondered if you had thought about responding to this in some way, perhaps with a discussive RfC, appropriately promoted at the VP, Signpost and CENT, to see what consensus said? You have some well-developed examples now (not to mention the chocolate animation!) for people to see what's being proposed.
Cheers -- Dweller ( talk) 11:49, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
No need to jog my memory - I remember some of this stuff well, and other bits I could have guessed at (like the long list of AfDs).
But I think I didn't make my main point clearly enough. It seemed from your RfA that no discussion of the project as a whole has ever been undertaken and there's a sizeable group of editors out there who seem to think it's being pushed through by a small group without proper discussion. None of what you present above amounts to a discussion of the Outlines project as a whole - just small bits of it.
Cheers -- Dweller ( talk) 10:15, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm surprised that you're being quite so aggressive in responding to Dweller's good natured comments - he has (from my observation) been a good friend to you on this project. I think the point that a few people are trying to make is that we aren't entirely convinced that outlines are articles. The closest thing to them that is generally accepted as mainspace content are lists, but those are expressly lists of notable things about which we have (or hope to have) articles. Outlines seem rather different and it isn't a type of content that has been widely discussed. You're quite right that there is no need for permission to add new content to the project, what's concerning some of us is that this looks to us like a different type of content.
It seems to me that a community discussion of outlines is on the cards, as there seem to be quite a lot of people with strong feelings about them. What I think Dweller is suggesting is that it might be better for that discussion to be kicked off by those involved in Outlines making a positive case for them and looking for support, rather than it being those opposed to them who end up "setting the tone" for any such discussion.

Regarding your RD awards, it might amuse you that the topic of your Week 11 Award: "Classic code & magic constants - 1-4 Nov 07 - n = (n & 0x0f0f0f0f) + ((n & 0xf0f0f0f0) >> 4);" is also the subject of a very Good Article, see 0x5f3759df :) That is, if you didn't know already.

Hey, good to see you. Things ok? The Rambling Man ( talk) 10:59, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi Dweller, I was just reading through last week's WP:Signpost and had a thought. Your attempt to reintroduce the RD "thread of the week" award (in March 09 or so?) was met with, well, let's just say it didn't go over all that well... :)
However, I'm currently reading Hiding's roundup of events and it strikes me that would be a perfect place for you to continue those awards. It avoids the need for consensus, since it's an individual agreement between yourself and the Signpost author; others would be equally free to make suggestions to Hiding for their editorial discretion; and it could only serve to promote an amazingly productive piece of the wiki - when I want to check on RD/S, I only look at the very first lines on my watchlist, because it is always there. Just a thought. Franamax ( talk) 00:12, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
I've opened a bureaucrat chat in relation to this RfA as I don't think the outcome is particularly clear cut. If you have a moment, I'd appreciate your input. WJBscribe (talk) 20:08, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

You probably didn't think this would come back to haunt you, but I'm now trying to get the article to FA standard. There are currently lots of comments on the talk page which I'm trying to address, but more angles and opinions on the content would be welcome. Happy editing, Nev1 ( talk) 23:32, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
The thing was, I couldn't find anything really useful to merge, really. Having looked at it again, I've put a brief mention in, but it's still ... unsatisfactory, I think. Black Kite 15:52, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Dear Dweller,
Since you can speak Hebrew, and obviously see the mistake, pls help in changing the article Tzufit into Tzofit (I can't have access to edit the article name). Tsufit is a Honeyeater, but the Moshav derived its name from a different word which means "the hill which views" (similarly to Mount Scopus = Har Ha'tsofim). Thanks for assisting! Etan J.

Hi Dweller, I wondered if you could explain why you declined this request as potentially offensive. I must be missing something, 'cuz I just don't see it – please enlighten this humble clerk! AJ Cham 17:51, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Dweller, thanks for renaming my account. I noticed one odd thing: my old account (PromptCritical) seems to still exist, and I can log into it with the password for the account. The change-name instructions said that it would no longer exist (but that I should re-create it anyway to avoid impersonations). Is this normal? If so, perhaps the instructions should be modified to reflect this? Anyway, thanks for the rename!

Moved in. What a day. And got a warning straight-off from the Rozzers about my parking. "Welcome to the neighbourhood!". Anyway, didn't sleep a wink, work's gone nuts, I'm back out to you-know-where in a week or so, hopefully for not much longer than a week, and Sky won't let me have the landline here.

Hi Dweller - thanks for such a quick response.
Many apologies if this isn't how I was supposed to respond to your query about my name change request from LondonPhilharmonic to Phil 000. I fear I've confused the system by having LondonPhil also registered. I'm very happy for both LondonPhilharmonic and LondonPhil to be merged/changed into Phil 000.
Yes, I've read the COI page and confirm that I'm only planning factual updates.
many thanks Londonphilharmonic ( talk) 13:28, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi Dweller Please change the LondonPhilharmonic account to Phil 000 and I'll stop using the other. COI page reread, understood and agreed to. Once I've got the go-ahead from you on the user name change I'll add an explanation of my recent edits to the talk section so that other editors can approve/challenge them. Londonphilharmonic ( talk) 14:12, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Hmm. I think it mustve been from a look-see login from the SUL. -- Dweller ( talk) 14:57, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Could you change my username to Paul Benjamin Austin - It seems to be free and i want to use my real name like User:Adam Carr and others. Paul Austin ( talk) 17:39, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi. :) Now that I'm back at my home base, since it was a courtesy notice which is sort of almost a template, I thought I'd let you know that I had replied to your message at User talk:Moonriddengirl#Courtesy notification. :) And to make it completely unnecessary for you to read it, I'll just restate here for the record that I can't imagine it would be controversial to restore the history of Country mile if the content that was there would be useful to you in your new article. And I'll add to that, as I've now had a chance to read over the deletion review request from a decent connection with more time to spare, that if you didn't want to write the article yourself but just thought that the lack of an article is a problem, that a soft redirect to wikt:country mile might serve. I know if the link is redlinked, contributors are more likely to actually create a usable article for the space, but in the meantime, those unfamiliar with the expression looking for information about it on Wikipedia will be able to easily access it. So far as I can tell, the redlink theory won't make much difference, as it currently is not linked from any articles. Oh, and I appreciated the personal note. Generally, a deletion review leads one to wonder what one has done wrong, and it was nice of you to take the time to tell me that you thought my actions were proper under the circumstances. :) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:32, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks dude. Just about "over" the trip, despite it being a complete debacle. Utterly and totally. Looks like I'll be back there next month for another "laugh". Oh well. Anyway, yes, to business. I'll check out the article. Is there any way (in your opinion) we could find an image of Goss scoring and claiming fair use on it? Monumental moment in history, no-one could reproduce it, lo-res, blah blah... what do you reckon? The Rambling Man ( talk) 16:13, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
The bottom link on that page says: "Überraschende Heimniederlage im UEFA-Pokal: Bayern München unterliegt Norwich City 1:2 MÜNCHEN.

Hi Dweller,
Thanks for getting back to me. I received your message and yes, I understand that WP:COI applies to my edits. Can you tell me when my new username will be approved?
Also, under your comment is a comment from Jeremy with "clerk note." I'm not sure what that's about. Can you tell me what "malformed request is?"
Thanks so much! BnBFinder ( talk) 21:07, 10 December 2009 (UTC)Eskimokid
I feel very validated! As you imply, another list had been wierdly pruned as part of a flawed edit, with only inferior candidates retained!! I stumbled across this, wiki-surfing across domains, and a mere glance at the list showed it to be absurd -- certainly severe flawed. That I, normally a very cautious editor, trashed most of the list showed GOOD instincts. In the scenario you describe, deleting the entire list to call attention to the absurdity led to a cognizant individual (you?) catching the error! Let's congratulate ourselves! (Or, if you prefer, insinuate that I am not qualified to make such a judgment; whatever.) Jamesdowallen ( talk) 21:33, 11 December 2009 (UTC) ... and yes, I did post in Talk, and wait a few days for response before I did the deletion.
And that's very reassuring. I was perplexed, because I didn't know what User:dmcq had done that merited reversion. Was he some banned user to be reverted on sight (at least in some editors' view)? So I checked his user page and he seemed like a perfectly clean (even exemplary) editor. However, there was still a faint lingering doubt about whether I had, in ignorance but good faith, aided a troll or thwarted some effort to protect the encyclopedia.
But I wouldn't worry too much; the Wikipedia servers have just been very strange lately, and I found that I'd done nearly the same thing this week at WT:WikiProject Cities, and I think also at the Ref. Desk, although fortunately not to substantial postings. For the moment, there seems to be no absolute guarantee of what will happen when you hit "Save" or "Preview". —— Shakescene ( talk) 10:09, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for handling the user name change request! I have alerted Pinochet-Fan ( talk · contribs) about his username. The new name is German and means "Adherent of Enlightenment 2.0". The name may be related to this Website. Looking at the website, I'd say that the content of the web-site is probably controversial, but is does not seem to contain any political or moral views that would preclude using the new username.
