Thanks again for the 217573 dab pages. The purpose was to find exceptions for typos, and in the process typo check the dabs. Dabs are especially good for finding typo exceptions because they have varied wording without the size you find in normal articles, the small size means they can be typo scanned quickly as well as loading quickly. The whole lot was pre-scanned in under 10 days and nights which resulted in 930 articles with possible typos. One day of checking the results enabled me to make typo rule changes here and here as well as correct most of the 930 typos found. Thanks again for creating a list of dab pages. Regards, Sun Creator( talk) 11:43, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
Fail: WP:GNG (no Reception whatsoever), WP:JUSTPLOT, WP:V/ WP:RS (only refs were to the works themselves and fansites), etc.
All three have been tagged for notability and merge for several months without effect (nobody did expand/rewrite them significantely or at all, nobody discussing.
I did the same with scores of other similar James Bond articles. I met opposition to redirect only at Charles Robinson (James Bond), so I had it deleted instead. [4]
If you want to know how a fictional character articles should look like, see for example Yuna (Final Fantasy) (for a GA-class type article) and Garrett (character) (for an absolute bare minimum, practically a stub, as it lacks any development information and even most of plot at the moment). Both of these articles are mine.
So you can either just revert your reverts, rewrite some or all of them to make proper articles, make a convincing argument in their defense now, or I might be forced to delete, not just redirect all three of them (I don't really want to do it). -- Niemti ( talk) 08:29, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
Beacause there's absolutely nothing to merge. All information is plot (and some trivia), there's no real-world perspective, there are not even reliable independent sources. And did you even read WP:GNG and WP:JUSTPLOT? Do it. -- Niemti ( talk) 21:57, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Ryan, you still owe a QPQ on this article, and you were also going to update with some information. Can you make a quick post there to let us know how things stand? I don't want some other reviewer or admin to come along and decide that it needs to be shut down for inactivity. Many thanks! BlueMoonset ( talk) 00:48, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Hey all :). We've just deployed another set of features for Page Curation. They include flyouts from the icons in Special:NewPagesFeed, showing who reviewed an article and when, a listing of this in the "info" flyout, and a general re-jigging of the info flyout - we've also fixed the weird bug with page_titles_having_underscores_instead_of_spaces in messages sent to talkpages, and introduced CSD logging! As always, these features will need some work - but any feedback would be most welcome. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 18:21, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
...I had already voted for you, but it is just a matter of time. Until then, would you consider going to WP:AN and looking at some of the RfCs that need closing? Half really need an admin to close, but there are many that just need an experienced outside party to judge consensus for. One or two a week would be very helpful, and solid experience.

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot’s recommendations. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information in the consent information sheet.
We have added information about the quality of the suggested articles using a Low/Medium/High scale which goes from Low to High .
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

Why am I such a trouble?..-- Mishae ( talk) 18:25, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
Mishae, right now the concern is your edits to {{ Automatic taxobox}}. For templates like that and {{ taxobox}} each parameter should be on a new line. This makes it easy for anyone to see if there are any problems in any of the templates and change those. I'd like to remind you again that the Wikimedia foundation specifically tells us not to worry about the server. Ryan Vesey 18:50, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
Lets see what Ryan have to say about it. After all, I am thankful that I discussed this on his talk page not mine. If I would have discussed it on mine, I would still needed to contact him, because I need a conflict mediator. Without Ryan I probably would have been blocked already. I thank him for it in advance!-- Mishae ( talk) 04:17, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
I seriously considered using the image of the elephant head goddess but decided the current image selection worked better. There were several factors that went into this decision. First, the Vinayaki article is already receiving special dispensation by the minimum submission lead being ignored (As the instructions at the top of the Template talk:Did you know#Special occasion holding area stipulate, special date requests need to be made at least five days before the requested date. This nomination was submitted less than three days before the desired date.). Second, I considered relative size and encyclopedic development of the two articles. While the elephant head goddess article is longer, it is not clear that either article is significantly better developed or more academically rigorous in presenting its subject. The deciding factor was image aspect ratios. The elephant head goddess image has an aspect ratio of 1:2.15 compared to 1.49:1 for the selected image. The squarer image is much easier to recognize and understand with the small size allowed to DYK on the Main page. -- Allen3 talk 12:20, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the information. -- The Polish ( talk) 12:56, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Bwilkins is voluntarily not acting as an admin and using his primary account. This was not a Wikipedia sanction as it did not take place at ArbCom. It was not an official sanction by Jimmy, who is not flexing his bit to bypass ArbCom. Bwilkins made at least one mistake, and is taking actions to remedy that mistake. Continuing to badger and bludgeon him over it is unseemly and more importantly, it is simply unfair. Fairness doesn't require a policy to back it up, it should be self-evident and applied to everyone equally, admin or not. If you want to demand that admins treat everyone fairly (and I would join you in that) then you must demand the same from yourself and treat him fairly as well. This has gotten out of hand, and needs to stop. I agreed and stated that Bwilkins needed a break, so I feel I am neutral in saying we need to stop bludgeoning him during this break.

Thanks again for the 217573 dab pages. The purpose was to find exceptions for typos, and in the process typo check the dabs. Dabs are especially good for finding typo exceptions because they have varied wording without the size you find in normal articles, the small size means they can be typo scanned quickly as well as loading quickly. The whole lot was pre-scanned in under 10 days and nights which resulted in 930 articles with possible typos. One day of checking the results enabled me to make typo rule changes here and here as well as correct most of the 930 typos found. Thanks again for creating a list of dab pages.

Fail: WP:GNG (no Reception whatsoever), WP:JUSTPLOT, WP:V/ WP:RS (only refs were to the works themselves and fansites), etc.
All three have been tagged for notability and merge for several months without effect (nobody did expand/rewrite them significantely or at all, nobody discussing.
I did the same with scores of other similar James Bond articles. I met opposition to redirect only at Charles Robinson (James Bond), so I had it deleted instead. [4]
If you want to know how a fictional character articles should look like, see for example Yuna (Final Fantasy) (for a GA-class type article) and Garrett (character) (for an absolute bare minimum, practically a stub, as it lacks any development information and even most of plot at the moment). Both of these articles are mine.
So you can either just revert your reverts, rewrite some or all of them to make proper articles, make a convincing argument in their defense now, or I might be forced to delete, not just redirect all three of them (I don't really want to do it). -- Niemti ( talk) 08:29, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
Beacause there's absolutely nothing to merge. All information is plot (and some trivia), there's no real-world perspective, there are not even reliable independent sources. And did you even read WP:GNG and WP:JUSTPLOT? Do it. -- Niemti ( talk) 21:57, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
Apparently someone want to delete my navboxes that I have created over the past year. Could you please comment on it here: Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2012 September 9. Your input will be appreciated.-- Mishae ( talk) 15:35, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
Ryan, you still owe a QPQ on this article, and you were also going to update with some information. Can you make a quick post there to let us know how things stand? I don't want some other reviewer or admin to come along and decide that it needs to be shut down for inactivity. Many thanks! BlueMoonset ( talk) 00:48, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Hey all :). We've just deployed another set of features for Page Curation. They include flyouts from the icons in Special:NewPagesFeed, showing who reviewed an article and when, a listing of this in the "info" flyout, and a general re-jigging of the info flyout - we've also fixed the weird bug with page_titles_having_underscores_instead_of_spaces in messages sent to talkpages, and introduced CSD logging! As always, these features will need some work - but any feedback would be most welcome. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 18:21, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
...I had already voted for you, but it is just a matter of time. Until then, would you consider going to WP:AN and looking at some of the RfCs that need closing? Half really need an admin to close, but there are many that just need an experienced outside party to judge consensus for. One or two a week would be very helpful, and solid experience.

Hey Ryan, the rankings were just released today. You can check them out for yourself, but Penn was demoted to #8.

Could you chime in at Wikipedia_talk:AutoWikiBrowser#Wikify on what AWB should replace Wikify with and other fun-filled things. Hope school is going well for you... Of course if you went to a decent school, you wouldn't be partying so hard :) Bgwhite ( talk) 01:47, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
Ryan, it's been another week and still nothing. (My note has already been archived from this page.) At this point you need at least to post your intentions at this template. Otherwise you run the risk of someone rejecting it for inactivity, as the last edit to the nomination was 12 days ago. I really hope you can get to the quid pro quo review soon. Thanks.

Can you please explain to this creature why I do white space removal? Someone told me it was fine if I will add navbox and/or categories and do it that way, but I am getting sick and tired of whiners!:-- Mishae ( talk) 17:43, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Why am I such a trouble?..-- Mishae ( talk) 18:25, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
Mishae, right now the concern is your edits to {{ Automatic taxobox}}. For templates like that and {{ taxobox}} each parameter should be on a new line. This makes it easy for anyone to see if there are any problems in any of the templates and change those. I'd like to remind you again that the Wikimedia foundation specifically tells us not to worry about the server. Ryan Vesey 18:50, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
Lets see what Ryan have to say about it. After all, I am thankful that I discussed this on his talk page not mine. If I would have discussed it on mine, I would still needed to contact him, because I need a conflict mediator. Without Ryan I probably would have been blocked already. I thank him for it in advance!-- Mishae ( talk) 04:17, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
I seriously considered using the image of the elephant head goddess but decided the current image selection worked better. There were several factors that went into this decision. First, the Vinayaki article is already receiving special dispensation by the minimum submission lead being ignored (As the instructions at the top of the Template talk:Did you know#Special occasion holding area stipulate, special date requests need to be made at least five days before the requested date. This nomination was submitted less than three days before the desired date.). Second, I considered relative size and encyclopedic development of the two articles. While the elephant head goddess article is longer, it is not clear that either article is significantly better developed or more academically rigorous in presenting its subject. The deciding factor was image aspect ratios. The elephant head goddess image has an aspect ratio of 1:2.15 compared to 1.49:1 for the selected image. The squarer image is much easier to recognize and understand with the small size allowed to DYK on the Main page. -- Allen3 talk 12:20, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the information. -- The Polish ( talk) 12:56, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for validating. — Jasonasosa 21:12, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
Bwilkins is voluntarily not acting as an admin and using his primary account. This was not a Wikipedia sanction as it did not take place at ArbCom. It was not an official sanction by Jimmy, who is not flexing his bit to bypass ArbCom. Bwilkins made at least one mistake, and is taking actions to remedy that mistake. Continuing to badger and bludgeon him over it is unseemly and more importantly, it is simply unfair. Fairness doesn't require a policy to back it up, it should be self-evident and applied to everyone equally, admin or not. If you want to demand that admins treat everyone fairly (and I would join you in that) then you must demand the same from yourself and treat him fairly as well. This has gotten out of hand, and needs to stop. I agreed and stated that Bwilkins needed a break, so I feel I am neutral in saying we need to stop bludgeoning him during this break.

Can you please save the articles from being reverted by Rkitko? I don't understand why he continues to revert [Endemic flora of Australia] category even though it might be important for readers to see not only [Endemic flora of Western Australia] but also the one I mentioned. I would be glad for any help.-- Mishae ( talk) 02:35, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
