Hello there Tango, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions or how to format them visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. BTW, thanks for starting class M planet. Cheers! -- maveric149

For future reference, when you block an IP address it blocks *all* users accessing the site from that IP, not just anonymous ones. I don't mind though, i wasn't doing anything on wikipedia anyway at that time, i only came on to apologise for my friend.

Hello Tango. I'm ashamed to say I just discovered you - when I created my user account, Tangotango, back in March 2005, I didn't realise there was anyone called Tango. I'm contacting you today because I thought you, and the Wikipedia community at large, may have some concerns about the similarity in our user names (some people have called me Tango for short). I'm not sure about Wikipedia policy ( Wikipedia:Username doesn't really specify), but if you do want me to change my user name, I am willing to do so. Cheers, Tangot a ngo 16:15, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I just noticed you for the first time today as well. I don't think there should be a problem. If we do find people getting confused, we can discuss name changes then, but let's be optimistic for now, shall we? It's a good name. ;) -- Tango 16:17, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Whoops! I left the starting number from the old chart - The gap is how many articles we've wikified from last year's categories since a few days ago. I'll fix it now, thanks. -- Tango 19:27, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
how do you count the articles?
I'm sure there's a better way, but I just kept clicking "next 200" until there weren't any more. -- Tango 02:13, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Dear Tango/Archive06,
File:Danavecpurpletiger.jpg | A belated thank you to you for Supporting my RFA! It passed 54/2/3, much better than I expected! I am still finding my feet as an Administrator, and so far I am enjoying the experience. I am honoured that you felt I was ready to take up this position, and wish to thank you formally! I hope I can live up to your expectations of me. Once again, thank you! -- Darth Deskana (talk page) 19:12, 4 May 2006 (UTC) |
That was an action of regular editing, even if I mentioned AfD in the summary. It looks reasonable to me to remove the founder as possibly not especially important, but if you do not like my change, just go ahead and revert. - Liberatore( T) 16:41, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I will definitely review my action, and I'll ask another administrator's opinion as well. From my understanding, GeorgeMoney was the only person who contributed to that proposal, and since he wanted it deleted, it seemed reasonable to honor his request. Since this proposal had almost no support, I came to the conclusion that it would be better not to have this proposed policy clutter up the Wikipedia space. However, I certainly will look into this, thank you for bringing this to my attention. Prodego talk 00:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Okay, Tango, I've had a chance to read over Stargate (device) and DNA Resequencer (Stargate), so here are my opinions.
FIrst of all, these articles look a lot better than the last time I looked them over. I like the fact that y'all have embraced the WP:WAF guideline and tried to work with it. The articles seem much more grounded than they did just two or three weeks ago. I do have some suggestions for improvement, though. My main beef is that, while no longer completely written from a fictional perspective, both articles still concentrate too much on the fuctioning of these fictional devices. In Stargate (device), for example, nine pages of my seventeen-page printout are devoted to how these devices function (and three of the remaining pages are references and a template). That's not a lot of "meat" that will interest non-fans. So, I would consider trimming the descriptions of the devices fuctioning down a lot. My approach to this article would have been to cover concept and creation first, then "surrounding plot" (pared down to about half that size or less), then perhaps a three- or four-paragraph section on how the Stargates function.
Other than that, I have a few stylistic suggestions:
I hope you will find these comments helpful! — BrianSmithson 01:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree that original research should be excluded in most cases from Wikipedia. However, the chart which you removed the OR from was headed de facto. It is a proven fact, or at least the BBC News cries on about it, that local 'corner shops' have been more likely than chainpubs to serve underage drinkers. The problem is that trading standards bureaux do not like giving this information away in many cases, making something that is 'taken as read' to be hard to prove. However, if references can be found, would a revert be considered? M0RHI 13:42, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

You obviously haven't hung around on Gateworld. The no fish thing is a big controversy. On the DVD commentaries, it was stated that there were fish all along and that Jack was just a bad fisherman.
I mean, look at the way he fishes in "Moebius" and "Threads". He throws the line out and immediately pulls it back in, not even leaving it out for a second! Who expects to catch anything like that?
The writers gave us a way out of their little joke about the fish by stating that there had been fish there all along in the audio commentaries.

Umm.. I'm not sure blocking him and also protecting his talk page was really fair in the sense that we allow a user to have any block independently reviewed; and you just effectively gave him another block yet removed that right. May I suggest unprotecting and allowing another to make the call when he (as he will) abuses the template (again)? Just an idea, otherwise we'll never hear the end of it Glen 15:49, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
You seem to think that it constitutes impersonating an admin to proffer advice. That's ridiculous and you ought to ashamed of yourself. Fys is a contributor and former sysop of several years standing and you're treating him like a common vandal. As you obviously aren't interested in unblocking I'll be doing so myself.

Tango, thanks for responding to my block request. I am unfamiliar with how to deal with this situation but it isn't "a" content dispute. If you look at his/her contributions they exist of only one thing ... one single repeated Wikilink SPAM. The only reason it was reverted by me several times yesterday is because I noticed what he/she was doing after seeing the edit on a page I watch. Other editors are reverting it as well because this one type of edit rarely belongs to the content of the entries he/she is inserting it into. Another editor, and myself have tried to bring up the issue on the users talk page to no avail. He/she has since then, however, resorted to the same behavior from the IP address i listed instead of the user account. This behavior is disruptive and some form of interWikipedia spamming. I don't even know what warning template to use. So what does one do? PelleSmith 21:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you very much for adding the reference I required on the Stargate SG-1 article - it saved me having to watch them all and take note of when the event occurred! Cpl Syx 03:01, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
I saw you removed this suggestion for banning despite consistent, unrepentant vandalism - including 3 vandalism edits that day - stretching back a year. It makes me wonder what you DO have to do to get banned around here. As an editor who constantly has to revert vandalism in the articles I maintain, I don't appreciate such as lenient approach to vandalism. I understand that new users who are eperimenting should not be banned and often turn into editors, but for godsakes use some discretion and take a look at the talk page and edit history of this user, they have contriubted nothing but vandalism. - PocklingtonDan 09:07, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Telling you you are making a fool of yourself is not incivil, it's just a bit of friendly advice. I suggest you stop warning people so much... -- Tango 19:12, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Under most circumstances I would agree, but looking over the IP's contributions for the past two months, I saw that 19 of its 20 edits since October are or appear to be vandalism. Luna Santin 20:12, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
There generally isn't any evidence of collateral damage since anyone being damaged is blocked, so they can't do anything. They're not likely to bother with requesting an unblock. In the case of blatant vandalism that doesn't look like it will change, I would jump straight to test4 and give them one final chance to stop. I've seen it work in the past. -- Tango 20:31, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

how do you count the articles?
I'm sure there's a better way, but I just kept clicking "next 200" until there weren't any more. -- Tango 02:13, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Dear Tango/Archive06,
File:Danavecpurpletiger.jpg | A belated thank you to you for Supporting my RFA! It passed 54/2/3, much better than I expected! I am still finding my feet as an Administrator, and so far I am enjoying the experience. I am honoured that you felt I was ready to take up this position, and wish to thank you formally! I hope I can live up to your expectations of me. Once again, thank you! -- Darth Deskana (talk page) 19:12, 4 May 2006 (UTC) |
That was an action of regular editing, even if I mentioned AfD in the summary. It looks reasonable to me to remove the founder as possibly not especially important, but if you do not like my change, just go ahead and revert. - Liberatore( T) 16:41, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I will definitely review my action, and I'll ask another administrator's opinion as well. From my understanding, GeorgeMoney was the only person who contributed to that proposal, and since he wanted it deleted, it seemed reasonable to honor his request. Since this proposal had almost no support, I came to the conclusion that it would be better not to have this proposed policy clutter up the Wikipedia space. However, I certainly will look into this, thank you for bringing this to my attention. Prodego talk 00:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Okay, Tango, I've had a chance to read over Stargate (device) and DNA Resequencer (Stargate), so here are my opinions.
FIrst of all, these articles look a lot better than the last time I looked them over. I like the fact that y'all have embraced the WP:WAF guideline and tried to work with it. The articles seem much more grounded than they did just two or three weeks ago. I do have some suggestions for improvement, though. My main beef is that, while no longer completely written from a fictional perspective, both articles still concentrate too much on the fuctioning of these fictional devices. In Stargate (device), for example, nine pages of my seventeen-page printout are devoted to how these devices function (and three of the remaining pages are references and a template). That's not a lot of "meat" that will interest non-fans. So, I would consider trimming the descriptions of the devices fuctioning down a lot. My approach to this article would have been to cover concept and creation first, then "surrounding plot" (pared down to about half that size or less), then perhaps a three- or four-paragraph section on how the Stargates function.
Other than that, I have a few stylistic suggestions:
I hope you will find these comments helpful! — BrianSmithson 01:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree that original research should be excluded in most cases from Wikipedia. However, the chart which you removed the OR from was headed de facto. It is a proven fact, or at least the BBC News cries on about it, that local 'corner shops' have been more likely than chainpubs to serve underage drinkers. The problem is that trading standards bureaux do not like giving this information away in many cases, making something that is 'taken as read' to be hard to prove. However, if references can be found, would a revert be considered? M0RHI 13:42, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

You obviously haven't hung around on Gateworld. The no fish thing is a big controversy. On the DVD commentaries, it was stated that there were fish all along and that Jack was just a bad fisherman.
I mean, look at the way he fishes in "Moebius" and "Threads". He throws the line out and immediately pulls it back in, not even leaving it out for a second! Who expects to catch anything like that?
The writers gave us a way out of their little joke about the fish by stating that there had been fish there all along in the audio commentaries.

Umm.. I'm not sure blocking him and also protecting his talk page was really fair in the sense that we allow a user to have any block independently reviewed; and you just effectively gave him another block yet removed that right. May I suggest unprotecting and allowing another to make the call when he (as he will) abuses the template (again)? Just an idea, otherwise we'll never hear the end of it Glen 15:49, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
You seem to think that it constitutes impersonating an admin to proffer advice. That's ridiculous and you ought to ashamed of yourself. Fys is a contributor and former sysop of several years standing and you're treating him like a common vandal. As you obviously aren't interested in unblocking I'll be doing so myself.

Tango, thanks for responding to my block request. I am unfamiliar with how to deal with this situation but it isn't "a" content dispute. If you look at his/her contributions they exist of only one thing ... one single repeated Wikilink SPAM. The only reason it was reverted by me several times yesterday is because I noticed what he/she was doing after seeing the edit on a page I watch. Other editors are reverting it as well because this one type of edit rarely belongs to the content of the entries he/she is inserting it into. Another editor, and myself have tried to bring up the issue on the users talk page to no avail. He/she has since then, however, resorted to the same behavior from the IP address i listed instead of the user account. This behavior is disruptive and some form of interWikipedia spamming. I don't even know what warning template to use. So what does one do? PelleSmith 21:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you very much for adding the reference I required on the Stargate SG-1 article - it saved me having to watch them all and take note of when the event occurred! Cpl Syx 03:01, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
I saw you removed this suggestion for banning despite consistent, unrepentant vandalism - including 3 vandalism edits that day - stretching back a year. It makes me wonder what you DO have to do to get banned around here. As an editor who constantly has to revert vandalism in the articles I maintain, I don't appreciate such as lenient approach to vandalism. I understand that new users who are eperimenting should not be banned and often turn into editors, but for godsakes use some discretion and take a look at the talk page and edit history of this user, they have contriubted nothing but vandalism. - PocklingtonDan 09:07, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Under most circumstances I would agree, but looking over the IP's contributions for the past two months, I saw that 19 of its 20 edits since October are or appear to be vandalism. Luna Santin 20:12, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
There generally isn't any evidence of collateral damage since anyone being damaged is blocked, so they can't do anything. They're not likely to bother with requesting an unblock. In the case of blatant vandalism that doesn't look like it will change, I would jump straight to test4 and give them one final chance to stop. I've seen it work in the past. -- Tango 20:31, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
