For Sid's page, I would like to add his Filmography which is, in its most recently updated incarnation, on the MySpace page I run for him. Do I have to put a little licensing statement on there, too, to post the creds here? Just want to save myself from any possible aggravation, as his page would definitely benefit from having that info on there. Thanks! Spirot 06:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, newbie admin here: I just happened to see one of your latest blocks here: "1:05, 13 November 2006, Glen S (Talk) blocked Сергій Ласкавий (contribs) (infinite, account creation blocked, autoblock disabled) (Unblock) (Please read our our username policy and choose another name)"

Hi Glen, whilst browsing through rather obscure discussion topics, I noticed that you offered Professor Sunderland some coaching on what to do to consider being made a WP admin. I was wondering if you'd be prepared to do the same for me? For example, what else should I be doing apart from editing articles, participating in move/delete discussions, reverting vandalism, etc? And at what point do you think my edit count would be high enough for people to start considering me? For reference, I've been editing since January 2005, and have an edit count of nearly 4000. Thanks! robwingfield « T• C» 00:05, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

The only true fact that this page displayed was the fact that American Australians come form America. 99% of the facts were false, poorly interperated, or writtin to be humorous or vandolous.
I was recently given a warning http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:202.54.254.35&redirect=no for vandalism, although I merely changed the 'b' of british to a capital 'B'...I'm not a vandal in any way :D, in fact, I thought about helping out Wikipedia for the benefit of the tons of users who access it every day, and I'm given a warning??! Well, thats the last time I use the edit option. See you.
Hi. I'm advocating a case on behalf of a user who is experiencing numerous problems with RPJ. I can see from RPJ's talk page that you have interacted with him in the past.

I'm just as confused about the whole thing as you are. They're showing up to me as blue links in Special:BrokenRedirects. The 20-30 redirects that I was mainly tagging were all pointing to Abderrahim Goumri, which was probably deleted. However, the deletion log is empty and the discussion page doesn't exist (and doesn't have a deletion log either).
Wizardry Dragon seems to think that they were removed by an oversighted admin. We're just as confused as you are, but I had an admin buddy, Eagle 101, check into it and he can't see them either. It's my understanding that only Senior Bureaucrats can do this and only can they themselves see these deletions, even then only in the oversight logs. Perhaps you can shed some light on the matter? thadius856 talk 02:54, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

And where is the correct place to put questions like this? -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 04:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I know it violates the rule not to protect featured articles. I'd like to invoke WP:IAR and plead that the page be semi-protected.
The San Francisco, California page, today's featured article, is being attacked constantly, and it is not being reverted quickly enough. One of the many instances that the page was replaced with a homophobic vulgarity did not get reverted for seven minutes.

Hi Glen, I hope you don't think that those of us who are trying to enforce the Main Page FA non-protection are trying to blindly assume that it should never be protected and that we should let vandalism keep going for others to clean up. Looking at San Fransisco, Claifornia, your protection was more than valid under the policy, as were subsequent protections. But equally, when I unprotected it at 12, after 4 hours of protection, there was no siginificant vandalism till that evening, when the kill faggots vandal moved in for the night. That was - I'm sure you'll have noted - an unusually high amount of vandalism and one that the policy allows semi-protection for. -- Robdurbar 11:24, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to express my huge thanks to you, Glen, for your strong support in my recent RfA, which closed with 100% support at 71/0/1.

In regards to your earlier warning about vandalism. No-one here has made any edits.
However, we are on a dynamic IP. Which may have been the last bigpond user to lease our IP. A quick check of a Telstra IP will reveal whether it is static or dynamic via the host name.
Hopefully this will help you in future wikipedia "crime fighting".
Other than that this is a great site!
Have a nice day.

==Thank you for the suggestion. Up until now I've never needed an account since I just read through the articles. However, as you've noticed, there's been quite a rise in "vandalism" lately.

For some strange reason, my navigation sidebar (from the monobook.js) duplicated itself, and now it is twice as long.
It currently shows as:
* Main Page * Community Portal * Featured articles * Current events * Recent changes * Random article * Help * Contact Wikipedia * Donations * Speedy deletes * Noticeboard * RFPP * RfA * AN/I * AIV * Logs * Todays AfD * 5-day old AfD * Edit my status * Edit my quotes * Speedy deletes * Noticeboard * RFPP * RfA * AN/I * AIV * Logs * Todays AfD * 5-day old AfD * Edit my status * Edit my quotes
How can I fix the problem? I went to my monobook, but nothing happen. I cleared my cache, etc. Absolutely no change.

I would argue that the line Audience members laughed throughout the seven-minute segment, which contained several awkward pauses.. is hardly OR or irrelevant (though I might swap the word "awkward" for "drawn-out"). It's a simple description of what happened, I don't even get into the nitty gritty (Seinfeld scolding the laughter, etc.) The article should inform the curious, and that does it's job - every news account of the incident mentions this. I think it deserves to be placed back in the article. -- LeCorrector 05:08, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Why you just didnt go to the site and check out that its not spam. I just didn't know how to check out messages or warnings, so I had no idea that you are sending anything to me.

Hey Glen, can you please keep an eye on BGC? This user seems to believe that only admins can give warnings [3], and continually removes legitimate warnings from his/her talk page. I warned the user about removing material from Greatest Hits (Guns N' Roses album) without a reason, which was promptly blanked. The user has also already been blocked a number of times for 3RR violations - warnings which have also been removed but not archived. Thanks. Yankees76 14:11, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I wonder if you could help. I'm still pretty new to this Wikipedia stuff. I tried to add a page for a band called Spotlight Kid the other day. I copied the text off their MySpace page. Because I did that the entry I created got removed due to copyright reasons.
From what I read on here I believe it's ok to copy text as long as you cite/reference the originating site. I just want to know how I go about doing that. What format/tags etc.?
Cheers, Ollie
Hey there Glen. I see you're listed as a volunteer on the admin coaching page. I put up my request to join the program a week back, but haven't yet received a response. I'm not sure if it's necessary to go through any formal process (at least, I couldn't find any) and I was wondering if you're coaching anyone at the moment. Cheers! -- Brad Beattie (talk) 08:11, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi GlenS. I noted the warning you gave to User:84.246.54.3. It seems you start of with a {{test4}} , yet it seems to be the users very first edit. Would you agree a {{test1|History of erotic depictions}} would have been more appropriate? Sander123 12:35, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Glen, Thanks for clearing up the stuff to do with copyright.
I've managed to set up a page for Spotlight Kid (band) by rewriting what I had put up before. However now theres a message on the page saying Subject may not be significant enough to merit an article, see notability guidelines.
I'm just wondering if you could give me any tips on what I should do to prevent this message and the imminent deletion.

Hey there, sorry for delay in my reply. You need to read WP:BAND - Specifically the Criteria for musicians and ensembles - at least ONE of those needs to be met for the band to meet policy. And, if you feel this is the case, then it must be clearly shown in the article itself (the editors shouldnt have to hunt for it). Good luck, msg me if I can help more Glen 17:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Ok, it looks like the page has been removed now. I've read the guidlines in the Notabilty article. The band I created the page for definitely meets the guidlines. I'm just a little unsure of what I need to do to stop the page being deleted.
For example, one of the points in the above article states: Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such.
This is true for the band I created the page for. I did state that the members were/are part of another band. Does it need to be in a particular format or something...?
Sorry for being dull! :-)
Cheers,
Ollie

Hi again,
I just want to clear something up.
So when it comes to Notetabilty, is it just a matter of stating one or more of the required items?
Does it have to be written in any particular format so that it's clear for the people checking newly added articles?
Many thanks for your help once again. -- Olliemorr 17:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I hope you don't mean me by that comment... if there's something I've done wrong, please explain. Antaeus Feldspar seems to think no one else is supposed to click the link that says "edit this page!".... it's not like I'm trying to fill the articles with "Scientology Rules!" or something.

User:Highfructosecornsyrup has slapped a big copyright tag on this, claiming that "This article consists of little else but long excerpts from each section of the book, going beyond fair use.". This is suprising, seeing as each excerpt is a sentence long, and I think that an article on religious scripture is allowed a bit of lee-way ( The Ten Commandments, for example). Anyway, the template says the article shouldn't be touched before an admin has a look at it, so I'd appreciate it if you could have a look. Thanks. yandman 10:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that block! I was in the process of reporting the IP to WP:AIV and WP:OP.

I have no problems with it. I handed out a slightly longer than usual "first block" because I strongly felt this was a bad-faith user, so I'd be inclined to agree with you, but I suggest you post this to WP:AN or WP:ANI to find out if a wider range of admins agree with you. Please let me know where you psoted to so I can also give my feedback there. Cheers, Deathphoenix ʕ 14:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. You reverted my edit here. Was this because the bot will overwrite it later? I see that an earlier edit seemed to work OK. What do you think? Carcharoth 15:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
You might want to run a checkuser on that nimrod you just blocked. I have a very strong feeling that it is a sock of one of our favorite disruptors, who somehow seems to have avoided an indefinite block under his better known username. Crockspot 19:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
I have been reworking the Kevin Federline article to keep it NPOV. I hope I have succeeded. Could you read it through and tell me if you think it meets Wiki NPOV standards now?

Hi Glen. I recently cautioned a certain SonicChao against warning users for removing warnings from user their talk pages. From what I gather, the current consensus is that this is harassment, and that users should be free to remove warnings when it pleases them. He pointed out to me that the template he was using was based off your version of the now defunct (for the above reasons) "Wr" templates. Do you still use this template? Have there been more recent (the one I followed was a few weeks ago) discussions regarding this aspect of policy? Thanks, yandman 08:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Glen, whilst browsing through rather obscure discussion topics, I noticed that you offered Professor Sunderland some coaching on what to do to consider being made a WP admin. I was wondering if you'd be prepared to do the same for me? For example, what else should I be doing apart from editing articles, participating in move/delete discussions, reverting vandalism, etc? And at what point do you think my edit count would be high enough for people to start considering me? For reference, I've been editing since January 2005, and have an edit count of nearly 4000.

The only true fact that this page displayed was the fact that American Australians come form America. 99% of the facts were false, poorly interperated, or writtin to be humorous or vandolous.

I'm just as confused about the whole thing as you are. They're showing up to me as blue links in Special:BrokenRedirects. The 20-30 redirects that I was mainly tagging were all pointing to Abderrahim Goumri, which was probably deleted. However, the deletion log is empty and the discussion page doesn't exist (and doesn't have a deletion log either).
Wizardry Dragon seems to think that they were removed by an oversighted admin. We're just as confused as you are, but I had an admin buddy, Eagle 101, check into it and he can't see them either. It's my understanding that only Senior Bureaucrats can do this and only can they themselves see these deletions, even then only in the oversight logs.

I made some edits. I won't be editing either of these two articles with the exception of fixing factual errors, for various personal reasons and reasons dealing with POV. However, if you have any specific questions or you're not sure about certain facts placed in these articles, feel free to ask me as I'm probably the most knowledgeable Wikipedian around on subjects relating to these articles! ;)

Glen, can I trouble you to take a quick look at the note I posted on WP:ANI#WP:CHILD? Two questions, really: Is it possible for you to delete the kid's user page to scrub his personal information from the page history? And where is the correct place to put questions like this? -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 04:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I know it violates the rule not to protect featured articles. I'd like to invoke WP:IAR and plead that the page be semi-protected.
The San Francisco, California page, today's featured article, is being attacked constantly, and it is not being reverted quickly enough. One of the many instances that the page was replaced with a homophobic vulgarity did not get reverted for seven minutes.
Please help. Please override the "official" guideline.-- DaveOinSF 18:54, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Glen, I hope you don't think that those of us who are trying to enforce the Main Page FA non-protection are trying to blindly assume that it should never be protected and that we should let vandalism keep going for others to clean up. Looking at San Fransisco, Claifornia, your protection was more than valid under the policy, as were subsequent protections. But equally, when I unprotected it at 12, after 4 hours of protection, there was no siginificant vandalism till that evening, when the kill faggots vandal moved in for the night. That was - I'm sure you'll have noted - an unusually high amount of vandalism and one that the policy allows semi-protection for. -- Robdurbar 11:24, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to express my huge thanks to you, Glen, for your strong support in my recent RfA, which closed with 100% support at 71/0/1.

In regards to your earlier warning about vandalism. No-one here has made any edits.
However, we are on a dynamic IP. Which may have been the last bigpond user to lease our IP. A quick check of a Telstra IP will reveal whether it is static or dynamic via the host name.
Hopefully this will help you in future wikipedia "crime fighting".
Other than that this is a great site!
Have a nice day.

==Thank you for the suggestion. Up until now I've never needed an account since I just read through the articles. However, as you've noticed, there's been quite a rise in "vandalism" lately.

For some strange reason, my navigation sidebar (from the monobook.js) duplicated itself, and now it is twice as long.
It currently shows as:
* Main Page * Community Portal * Featured articles * Current events * Recent changes * Random article * Help * Contact Wikipedia * Donations * Speedy deletes * Noticeboard * RFPP * RfA * AN/I * AIV * Logs * Todays AfD * 5-day old AfD * Edit my status * Edit my quotes * Speedy deletes * Noticeboard * RFPP * RfA * AN/I * AIV * Logs * Todays AfD * 5-day old AfD * Edit my status * Edit my quotes
How can I fix the problem? I went to my monobook, but nothing happen. I cleared my cache, etc. Absolutely no change.

I would argue that the line Audience members laughed throughout the seven-minute segment, which contained several awkward pauses.. is hardly OR or irrelevant (though I might swap the word "awkward" for "drawn-out"). It's a simple description of what happened, I don't even get into the nitty gritty (Seinfeld scolding the laughter, etc.) The article should inform the curious, and that does it's job - every news account of the incident mentions this. I think it deserves to be placed back in the article. -- LeCorrector 05:08, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey there, sorry for delay in my reply. You need to read WP:BAND - Specifically the Criteria for musicians and ensembles - at least ONE of those needs to be met for the band to meet policy. And, if you feel this is the case, then it must be clearly shown in the article itself (the editors shouldnt have to hunt for it). Good luck, msg me if I can help more Glen 17:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Ok, it looks like the page has been removed now. I've read the guidlines in the Notabilty article. The band I created the page for definitely meets the guidlines. I'm just a little unsure of what I need to do to stop the page being deleted.
For example, one of the points in the above article states: Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such.
This is true for the band I created the page for. I did state that the members were/are part of another band. Does it need to be in a particular format or something...?
Sorry for being dull! :-)

So when it comes to Notetabilty, is it just a matter of stating one or more of the required items?
Does it have to be written in any particular format so that it's clear for the people checking newly added articles?
Many thanks for your help once again. -- Olliemorr 17:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I hope you don't mean me by that comment... if there's something I've done wrong, please explain. Antaeus Feldspar seems to think no one else is supposed to click the link that says "edit this page!".... it's not like I'm trying to fill the articles with "Scientology Rules!" or something. I genuinely don't think the articles I've tried to put "disputed" tags on are fair, and I've explained why on the talk pages. Highfructosecornsyrup 01:52, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I am not sure how to report harrassment but User:Mr Bullockx has placed several ridiculous tags on Doll Graveyard and has begun to hassle me over it. - WarthogDemon 03:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I thought Doll Graveyard was properly sourced. >_> If it's not, how can I make it sourced? - WarthogDemon 03:56, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Just out of curiosity, how old does a user have to be (in your opinion) to not be a newcomer any more? Go Futurama! Us e r:Sp3000 09:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
i just wanted to point out that yourguidetoindia.com is a non commercial site with creativecommons.org tag which permits Reproduction Distribution DerivativeWorks And the tourism guide has more information on udaipur , jaipur etc then the other tourism links which are being pointed why was this removed ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.254.65.177 ( talk • contribs) 09:31, 3 December 2006 (UTC).
User:Highfructosecornsyrup has slapped a big copyright tag on this, claiming that "This article consists of little else but long excerpts from each section of the book, going beyond fair use.". This is suprising, seeing as each excerpt is a sentence long, and I think that an article on religious scripture is allowed a bit of lee-way ( The Ten Commandments, for example). Anyway, the template says the article shouldn't be touched before an admin has a look at it, so I'd appreciate it if you could have a look. Thanks. yandman 10:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Read your msg now. MRSC has a different view to me. I'm trying to get the point over to him that he is wrong but he doesn't listen. WHat can I do but write long summaries?-- 84.9.192.124 12:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
It matters not whether his edits are good or bad. He is banned (see the block log) until such time as he agrees to follow the rules of Wikipedia. Morwen - Talk 15:44, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Glen... this is almost certainly an open proxy or zombie, as the user's vandalism on wikibooks is typical of a serial proxy vandal we've been dealing with. I'm blocking it 1 month on wikibooks, will report on meta. -- SB_Johnny| talk| books 15:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello Glen!
Just would like to thank you for having reverted the edits performed against my talk page, and therefore, without further ado, I hereby award you a Barnstar for your efforts to revert vandalism. ![]() Book s worm Hello? Anyone home? Vote! Vote! 17:48, 3 December 2006 (UTC) (P.S. Follow my advice and support it! That's just my advice, you can vote as you please!) |
Hi Glen S. I created the User:Dilllonbot account that you just blocked. Unfortunately, I made a typo; it should have been User:Dillonbot. I was about to request a rename when you blocked it. As explained on the User:Dillonbot user page, I intend to seek bot approval for this account for a new Java framework I'm working on for the MediaWiki API. Please unblock so I can request a rename.

Hi Glen, I noticed that the recent vandalism of Talk:Qatar has resulted in (a) a redirect to itself and (b) a loss of the talk page history. Can you restore the old talk page in place of the redirect? Thanks, Walkerma 03:36, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for that block! I was in the process of reporting the IP to WP:AIV and WP:OP. That openproxy was just carrying on from an IP that was introducing the same misinformation into those articles (where he claimed that various female singers weren't also songwriters...I actually had to go dig CDs out and check the liner notes to confirm that he was full of it). -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 04:34, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Glenn,
Can you please explain why my account was blocked, I have just created it and have not posted anything yet?
Here is my account name: alex.sj.ca
If you could please clarify...
Thank you, Alex
Thank you, I did not realize there is such a website. Can you please delete my account then?
Thanks, Alex
The nominator withdrew the AFD, so I closed. — An gr 13:04, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
no such user? Where did you see it? Glen 14:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
I have no problems with it. I handed out a slightly longer than usual "first block" because I strongly felt this was a bad-faith user, so I'd be inclined to agree with you, but I suggest you post this to WP:AN or WP:ANI to find out if a wider range of admins agree with you. Please let me know where you psoted to so I can also give my feedback there. Cheers, Deathphoenix ʕ 14:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. You reverted my edit here. Was this because the bot will overwrite it later? I see that an earlier edit seemed to work OK. What do you think? Carcharoth 15:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
You might want to run a checkuser on that nimrod you just blocked. I have a very strong feeling that it is a sock of one of our favorite disruptors, who somehow seems to have avoided an indefinite block under his better known username. Crockspot 19:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
I have been reworking the Kevin Federline article to keep it NPOV. I hope I have succeeded. Could you read it through and tell me if you think it meets Wiki NPOV standards now? Maybe in a year or so I'll get my own Barnstar for checking it daily and keeping it NPOV. :) But seriously, I would really like your opinion on its current NPOV status. Thanks! Michaelh2001 20:16, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the Sprotect here. Despite the fact that they were supporting my nom, things were getting out of hand. That discussion (and related issues) are contentious enough without adding socks to the mix. Doc Tropics 20:19, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Not a question, but a comment. This IP belongs to a high school - St. Georges, and thus is subject to abuse from many people, some of which who could care less about the validity of the articles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mathias-Grayfox ( talk • contribs) 23:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC).
Some people really have no clue at all. Why do people like that even bother creating an account? Tonywalton | Talk 02:07, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Glen. I recently cautioned a certain SonicChao against warning users for removing warnings from user their talk pages. From what I gather, the current consensus is that this is harassment, and that users should be free to remove warnings when it pleases them. He pointed out to me that the template he was using was based off your version of the now defunct (for the above reasons) "Wr" templates. Do you still use this template? Have there been more recent (the one I followed was a few weeks ago) discussions regarding this aspect of policy? Thanks, yandman 08:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Glen. For your information, I've sent your above close to Wikipedia:Deletion review - I'm sorry, but I don't think you made the right decision, at all. Proto:: ► 10:00, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
