Hi Dave, just an update on the mobile watchlist feature – we've got some mockups, and the initial prototype should be ready to test on the Beta in a week or two.
And on that note, would you like to join the newly formed Beta testing team so you can continue to receive updates on experimental new mobile features and test them out before anybody else does? :) All the cool kids are doing it... (well, actually, it's just me now, heh). Feel free to sign up and/or spread the word to anyone else who might be interested. Maryana (WMF) ( talk) 18:45, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Term of copyright in cinematograph films.-In the case of a cinematograph film, copyright shall subsist until 60 [sixty] years from the beginning of the calendar year next following the year in which the film is published.
So at least in India it's in the public domain. And due to the Rule of the shorter term... many countries would accept that. However, I don't think that rule applies in USA. After that point, my head hurts... I'm no expert. WormTT( talk) 07:40, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

By a vote of 9-1, the Arbitration Committee has passed the following motion:
Remedy 4 ("Malleus Fatuorum topic banned") of Civility Enforcement is vacated, and replaced with the following:
Malleus is topic banned from making edits concerning the RFA process anywhere on the English Wikipedia. As an exception, he may ask questions of the candidates and express his own view on a candidate in a specific RFA (in the support, oppose, or neutral sections), but may not engage in any threaded discussions relating to RFA. An uninvolved admin may remove any comments in violation of this remedy, and may enforce it with blocks if necessary.

Hey Worm, I'm interested in setting up a wiki using the media wiki software for some family history, do you have any idea about how I'd do that? I'd prefer not to spend a lot of money, would wikia be a good host or is there a cheap way to use my own site? Ryan Vesey 17:14, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
It wouldn't be ANY trouble for me to set up a subst page.... If I knew how. Is is just create a new page, copy the code? or what? Also, I'm using your tests, but I haven't the slightest clue of how to create a template, so I have no way to guide my adoptee on how to fix that.

{{subst:User:Worm That Turned/Adopt/Disputes/Test}}
(notice the curly braces and the "subst:" in the front). What this'll do is make a copy of the source code from the page you're substituting from, and replace the curly-brace part with it in the page you're substituting to. Once I do this, if I go back to the source of the User:Writ Keeper/Test page, I'll see a direct copy of the source code for User:Worm That Turned/Adopt/Disputes/Test, instead of the stuff within the curly braces. This way, your adoptees will be able to edit that copy, without having to keep editing Worm's version directly. Does that make sense?

Thank you all for your comments, and your confidence! Last year I had a few people drop by with some messages of support, but I certainly didn't get people petitioning me to go for it. It's a difficult decision, I had a lot more energy for the project this time last year, but on the other hand I'm no where near burn out and it would be very fulfilling to know I'm actually making a difference out there. I'm still mulling it over, I've got another couple of weeks, but I may well give it a shot :) WormTT( talk) 11:31, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
Could you take a look at Wikipedia:ANI#User:_Bull-Doser_.28persistent_disruptive_editor.29? It seems you have experience mentoring, and this user appears to at least nominally recognize his mistakes; see his unblock/unban request. Perhaps a combination of topic ban from the area where he was most disruptive and some lite mentoring for the rest would work? Tijfo098 ( talk) 03:31, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, the idea of you being a mentor for a specific user was floated at AN and on the user's talk page. I think it would be helpful to hear your thoughts on the matter. I would say that given your history of being a strict but reasonable mentor your willingness to pick this up would probably make some folks (maybe just me :-) ) more receptive to the idea of this user's return.

I've never heard of the person before, but the article is up for deletion. I haven't read the article and have no idea if it is notable, but I saw that you made a relatively minor edit to it [6].

Why am i seeing edits from the future?
Is this down to Daylight Saving Time? Thanks ツ Jenova 20 ( email) 09:21, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
I have been for years seeing conversations between newsers and established editors (usually admins) and there are a number of patterns in those that head towards conflict. On in particular is notable:
First the new user doesn't get it - and secondly the established users don't get that the new user doesn't get it. From there things often go rapidly downhill.
Having said this it is not uncommon that the established users are either wrong, or at least being overly harsh.
We really do need a better process to handle these events. Any ideas?

On 4 November 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article May Byron, which you created or substantially expanded.

Considering the most recent post on his talk page and understanding that it did occur before your comment, can you make a statement whereas TruPepitoM will be blocked for any usage of automated tools without getting permission first?

Hello, Worm That Turned, I was wondering if you would review me to see if I was even close to being ready for adminship. I edit articles that apply to highways, NASCAR, and, mostly, weather. I also revert vandalism and, when necessary, issue warnings (I was recently upgraded to rollbacker). I have been involved in my fair share of disputes and I will often catch myself wanting to get involved in edit wars. However, I have been getting better about this in recent months. Most of the time when I edit disputed content I will leave a note in the edit summary trying to direct people to a talk page, where I usually participate in the discussion as well. I would appreciate your feedback and a possible nomination if you think I am ready. Thanks, United States Man ( talk) 04:17, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

I expect Northamerica1000 to come up with an explanation. I checked other users, the only one I found with a somehow strange track record was one with 1,800 deleted out of 18,000. Nobody else had even near 1,000. To compare: I had 108 deleted edits out of about 20,000 total in 6 years. I'm not an admin, ok, but neither is Northamerica1000, yet. So what do you mean with "administartive work"? Reverting vandalism would count as a revert for the vandal, not for the cleaner, or not? Kraxler ( talk) 15:49, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

You may or may not have heard, but in a referendum, 54% of Puerto Ricans voted to change their status. 61.13% of voters who answered the second question voted for statehood. Since you seem to like statistics/data, I'm curious as to how you'd analyze the data at Puerto Rican status referendum, 2012#Results. Some say, the two vote system was a poor one because while a majority of Puerto Ricans prefer statehood to any other change, it is possible (but not probable) that all but 6,172 of those who would prefer statehood would actually prefer to continue the normal status. In addition, how do you deal with blank votes? Personally, I would assume all blank votes came from people who voted no, but I'm not sure how I would apply that in determining whether action could be taken on this.

Yes, I remind two cases. Although, I think that "rude" is a bit exagerated, now that I read it. The one that I can remember by now is what happened with Swifty, if you remember, but as I said, "this is only in counted cases when disruptiveness has led the way." It means that you may be rude harsh sometimes when a disruptive user suffocates your patience, which rarely happens. Now that I think of it, the word i was looking for was harsh. —

A while ago I created List of games that support Wii Balance Board and List of games that support Wii MotionPlus as splits from their articles.

I created the article after getting this edit on my talk page. Ryan Vesey 16:08, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello WTT,
I read your post on Mishae's Talkpage, and I think this edit from him should be taken into account:
"Sigh, to you as well, I read your talkpage now... I think it should be me who should tell what to follow and what not, considering your previous experience... And I personaly got sick of people who critisize me and revert stuff without mentioning it to the user first! And who are we? I and user Stemonitis are in the same dispute, he says its O.K. to do it with another edit. Have a problem with that? Talk to him, not me! Again go to User talk:Ryan Vesey and complain there about it! O' and another thing, the content is justified even without it, since the species name from the bottom is also visible on the top. Any questions? Sorry if I might got a bit personal in a discussion, just rough day overall. You know, having two disputes at the same time, is very stressful... Forgot to mention, doing reverts if there is no vandalism is pointless, I thought you knew that, if not, can I help you to understand that?"
That was posted on my Talkpage, following a revert I made to her for removing a name in a infobox, and after a day or two of discussion. The main reason I am speaking to you is because I am wondering if Mishae should be kept on the project. In my mind, when you explicitly used the terms "you're on thin ice" and "i'm giving you one last chance" stood out in my mind, and I think Mishae should be blocked for any period of time you choose. Please respond on my Talkpage.

( talk page stalker) Scroll bars don't always appear, though (specifically on newer Macs)--and as they don't, how would one know to "keep on scrolling"? See picture in upper right. — Theo polisme 12:17, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi Dave,
Thank you for signing up to test the experimental features we're building on the Wikimedia mobile Beta site! We just released a few new prototypes you might be interested in trying out. Please keep in mind that since the Beta is a testing ground for early stages of feature development and design, you'll definitely encounter bugs and unpolished software – your feedback will help us understand what areas we should focus on as we build these out into real features :)
To explore the Beta, visit any Wikimedia project on one of the supported devices/browsers and opt into Beta (tap on top left navigation menu > Settings > Opt in to Beta). From there, you can:
(Again, keep in mind that everything on Beta is highly experimental, so check to make sure that your edits/uploads went through successfully!)
Please leave any feedback you have for the mobile team on the mobile Beta talk page on Meta. Let us know if anything is especially confusing or strange, and feel free to give suggestions for improvement.
Thanks again! Maryana (WMF) ( talk) 22:33, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
AutomaticStrikeout's Hall of Fame Barnstar | |
Worm That Turned, it is my pleasure to inform you that I am inducting you into my Hall of Fame. I have developed a very good impression of you and consider you possibly the best editor on the English Wikipedia. I hope you will find this to be encouraging and I give you my best wishes that you will continue to be a fabulous editor and admin here for years to come! AutomaticStrikeout ( T • C) 18:29, 1 December 2012 (UTC) |
Btw Worm, would you be interested in joining my Hall of Fame committee? All the committee members need to do is nominate about 3-4 users (you can do so via email if you like) to give me some option to choose from for each month. AutomaticStrikeout ( T • C) 18:17, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Dave, just an update on the mobile watchlist feature – we've got some mockups, and the initial prototype should be ready to test on the Beta in a week or two.

Term of copyright in cinematograph films.-In the case of a cinematograph film, copyright shall subsist until 60 [sixty] years from the beginning of the calendar year next following the year in which the film is published.

By a vote of 9-1, the Arbitration Committee has passed the following motion:
Remedy 4 ("Malleus Fatuorum topic banned") of Civility Enforcement is vacated, and replaced with the following:
Malleus is topic banned from making edits concerning the RFA process anywhere on the English Wikipedia. As an exception, he may ask questions of the candidates and express his own view on a candidate in a specific RFA (in the support, oppose, or neutral sections), but may not engage in any threaded discussions relating to RFA.

Hey Worm, I'm interested in setting up a wiki using the media wiki software for some family history, do you have any idea about how I'd do that? I'd prefer not to spend a lot of money, would wikia be a good host or is there a cheap way to use my own site? Ryan Vesey 17:14, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
It wouldn't be ANY trouble for me to set up a subst page.... If I knew how. Is is just create a new page, copy the code? or what? Also, I'm using your tests, but I haven't the slightest clue of how to create a template, so I have no way to guide my adoptee on how to fix that.

{{subst:User:Worm That Turned/Adopt/Disputes/Test}}
(notice the curly braces and the "subst:" in the front). What this'll do is make a copy of the source code from the page you're substituting from, and replace the curly-brace part with it in the page you're substituting to. Once I do this, if I go back to the source of the User:Writ Keeper/Test page, I'll see a direct copy of the source code for User:Worm That Turned/Adopt/Disputes/Test, instead of the stuff within the curly braces. This way, your adoptees will be able to edit that copy, without having to keep editing Worm's version directly. Does that make sense?

Could you take a look at Wikipedia:ANI#User:_Bull-Doser_.28persistent_disruptive_editor.29?

Hi, the idea of you being a mentor for a specific user was floated at AN and on the user's talk page. I think it would be helpful to hear your thoughts on the matter. I would say that given your history of being a strict but reasonable mentor your willingness to pick this up would probably make some folks (maybe just me :-) ) more receptive to the idea of this user's return.

I have been for years seeing conversations between newsers and established editors (usually admins) and there are a number of patterns in those that head towards conflict. On in particular is notable:
First the new user doesn't get it - and secondly the established users don't get that the new user doesn't get it. From there things often go rapidly downhill.
Having said this it is not uncommon that the established users are either wrong, or at least being overly harsh.
We really do need a better process to handle these events. Any ideas?

Hello, Worm That Turned, I was wondering if you would review me to see if I was even close to being ready for adminship. I edit articles that apply to highways, NASCAR, and, mostly, weather. I also revert vandalism and, when necessary, issue warnings (I was recently upgraded to rollbacker). I have been involved in my fair share of disputes and I will often catch myself wanting to get involved in edit wars. However, I have been getting better about this in recent months. Most of the time when I edit disputed content I will leave a note in the edit summary trying to direct people to a talk page, where I usually participate in the discussion as well. I would appreciate your feedback and a possible nomination if you think I am ready. Thanks, United States Man ( talk) 04:17, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

I expect Northamerica1000 to come up with an explanation. I checked other users, the only one I found with a somehow strange track record was one with 1,800 deleted out of 18,000. Nobody else had even near 1,000. To compare: I had 108 deleted edits out of about 20,000 total in 6 years. I'm not an admin, ok, but neither is Northamerica1000, yet.

You may or may not have heard, but in a referendum, 54% of Puerto Ricans voted to change their status. 61.13% of voters who answered the second question voted for statehood. Since you seem to like statistics/data, I'm curious as to how you'd analyze the data at Puerto Rican status referendum, 2012#Results. Some say, the two vote system was a poor one because while a majority of Puerto Ricans prefer statehood to any other change, it is possible (but not probable) that all but 6,172 of those who would prefer statehood would actually prefer to continue the normal status. In addition, how do you deal with blank votes? Personally, I would assume all blank votes came from people who voted no, but I'm not sure how I would apply that in determining whether action could be taken on this.

Yes, I remind two cases. Although, I think that "rude" is a bit exagerated, now that I read it. The one that I can remember by now is what happened with Swifty, if you remember, but as I said, "this is only in counted cases when disruptiveness has led the way." It means that you may be rude harsh sometimes when a disruptive user suffocates your patience, which rarely happens. Now that I think of it, the word i was looking for was harsh. —

I have a problem of putting the Barnstar of Dilligence next to Tireless Contributor one on my userpage. Can you help me please?-- Mishae ( talk) 21:24, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

. The next should be 2, followed by 3, 4, 5, etc.

Hello WTT,
I read your post on Mishae's Talkpage, and I think this edit from him should be taken into account:
"Sigh, to you as well, I read your talkpage now... I think it should be me who should tell what to follow and what not, considering your previous experience... And I personaly got sick of people who critisize me and revert stuff without mentioning it to the user first! And who are we? I and user Stemonitis are in the same dispute, he says its O.K. to do it with another edit. Have a problem with that? Talk to him, not me! Again go to User talk:Ryan Vesey and complain there about it! O' and another thing, the content is justified even without it, since the species name from the bottom is also visible on the top. Any questions? Sorry if I might got a bit personal in a discussion, just rough day overall. You know, having two disputes at the same time, is very stressful... Forgot to mention, doing reverts if there is no vandalism is pointless, I thought you knew that, if not, can I help you to understand that?"
That was posted on my Talkpage, following a revert I made to her for removing a name in a infobox, and after a day or two of discussion. The main reason I am speaking to you is because I am wondering if Mishae should be kept on the project. In my mind, when you explicitly used the terms "you're on thin ice" and "i'm giving you one last chance" stood out in my mind, and I think Mishae should be blocked for any period of time you choose. Please respond on my Talkpage.

Anyone know how to add a scrolly bar to this table to stop it from stretching the page. I've checked around but can't find an example. Thanks ツ Jenova 20 ( email) 15:15, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) Scroll bars don't always appear, though (specifically on newer Macs)--and as they don't, how would one know to "keep on scrolling"? See picture in upper right. — Theo polisme 12:17, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi Dave,
Thank you for signing up to test the experimental features we're building on the Wikimedia mobile Beta site! We just released a few new prototypes you might be interested in trying out. Please keep in mind that since the Beta is a testing ground for early stages of feature development and design, you'll definitely encounter bugs and unpolished software – your feedback will help us understand what areas we should focus on as we build these out into real features :)
To explore the Beta, visit any Wikimedia project on one of the supported devices/browsers and opt into Beta (tap on top left navigation menu > Settings > Opt in to Beta). From there, you can:
(Again, keep in mind that everything on Beta is highly experimental, so check to make sure that your edits/uploads went through successfully!)
Please leave any feedback you have for the mobile team on the mobile Beta talk page on Meta. Let us know if anything is especially confusing or strange, and feel free to give suggestions for improvement.
Thanks again! Maryana (WMF) ( talk) 22:33, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
AutomaticStrikeout's Hall of Fame Barnstar | |
Worm That Turned, it is my pleasure to inform you that I am inducting you into my Hall of Fame. I have developed a very good impression of you and consider you possibly the best editor on the English Wikipedia. I hope you will find this to be encouraging and I give you my best wishes that you will continue to be a fabulous editor and admin here for years to come!

Btw Worm, would you be interested in joining my Hall of Fame committee? All the committee members need to do is nominate about 3-4 users (you can do so via email if you like) to give me some option to choose from for each month. AutomaticStrikeout ( T • C) 18:17, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
