Happy New Year! | ||
Hey there, Xeno! Happy new
Gregorian year. All the best for the new year, both towards you and your family and friends too. I know that I am the only person lonely enough to be running this thing as the new year is ushered in, but meh, what are you going to do. I like to keep my templated messages in a satisfactorily melancholy tone. ;)
Congratulations to Coren, Wizardman, Vassyana, Carcharoth, Jayvdb, Casliber, Risker, Roger Davies, Cool Hand Luke and Rlevse, who were all appointed to the Arbitration Committee after the ArbCom elections. I am sure I am but a voice of many when I say I trust the aforementioned users to improve the committee, each in their own way, as listed within their respective election statements. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to update the 2009 article, heh. Best wishes, neuro (talk) 01:03, 1 January 2009 (UTC) |
There is a problem with a user who keeps leaving rude comments on my talk pages, won't stop. But now he wants to delete them all from my pages to conceal the evidence. I want his comments to stay to show what he said. I have patiently tried using humor with him (by referring to squirrels and calling myself one of the "simple folk"), but nothing works. Also, if you check his history, it seems most of his edits involve edit warring with people all over Wikipedia, and leaving them rude comments. Thus keeping the evidence on my own page could help others with him in the future. Can you keep him from continually and continually editing my pages, or perhaps give him a strong warning or consequence about rude behavior? Thanks!! 206.74.228.186 ( talk) 19:08, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
I'll let my edit history and contributions to Wikipedia speak for themselves. I thought we had reached some resolution at the AN, with User:Ad.minster saying what he wanted, but without attribution to me by name or link. However, today he has apparently decided that he is not willing to accept that resolution, and has stepped it up with direct personal attacks. See the AN for more information.

Hello, you were recommended to me to possibly assist in retrieving a copy of a deleted article. The article in question is SierraSil and was deleted about a month ago. I am hoping that with sufficient editing, the article can be re-published. Thank you in advance for your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seanjpf ( talk • contribs) 19:23, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
I'd like to create a userspace version of a deleted article.
Żądło-Dąbrowski z Dąbrówki h. Radwan
It started out as Radwan Dąbrowski-Żądło Family, which had surmountable problems.
The delete votes piled up on this article, the article was moved to "Żądło-Dąbrowski z Dąbrówki h. Radwan" and was re-written, but it was still linked to the original "Radwan Dąbrowski-Żądło Family".
In Deletion Review, I was told if I want to restore the article, I needed to create a userspace version and then come back to Deletion Review with it.
Would you please undelete in my userspace the article "Żądło-Dąbrowski z Dąbrówki h. Radwan"?

Hey, Xeno, I was looking at this edit, and it looks like you've found (or already knew) some accurate data that I was looking for earlier. Could you share with me how you learned that this particular barnstar was created on the date that you indicated? I was not able to peg it any more accurately than the month of April, whereas you have an exact date in February. Thanks. Un sch ool 06:13, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

hey xeno, I have been trying to create a page for the Cashmere Agency, formatted much like the page for Frontside Promotions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontside_Promotions every time I create it, it is flagged for speedy deletion.

I can provide all sources etc.

I understand how it could sound like I'm attempting to stifle debate, but in actuality, it would appear that this is something of an attempted palace coup, wherein all of the articles were changed to make the newly created article and omnibus/clearinghouse for all the other Firefly-related articles. There is an AfD discussion occurring here, and I've initiated discussion regarding these actions at the WikiProject here. I think that discussion should have been broached before these large scale changes took place. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 18:34, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. I seriously doubt that you remember it, but you helped me out with a userbox formatting problem some time ago (June 2008). I'm having another problem and I'm wondering if you could take a look and see if you can offer some advice. It's kind of hard to describe, but I think it'll be obvious when you get to my user page. I've looked at it in both IE 7 and Firefox 3.0.5 and it looks essentially the same in both. If the problem doesn't show up when you look at it, let me know and I'll try to describe it.
Thanks in advance for your help. You did a great job last time and I'm confident that you'll do the same again. -- edi ( talk) 22:46, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi, You have been very helpful with my revisioning efforts with my Lateral Link entry and I think it is very close to passing the inclusion criteria. Would it be possible for you to check the entry out and let me know of any more revisions I should make before putting it back on wikipedia?

Hello Xeno, I was reading about Huggle and rollback, and after reading the rollback page, I had a question. How much experience is usually considered appropriate for a user to ask for rollback? I know you can't give an exact "time" or "edit count", I just wondered if you could give a average ballpark estimate. Thank You. Ched ( talk) 03:15, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I haven't had an article recreated to my userspace before (at least not that I remember), is there ever a way to get the history too? Or is it always just the last version? The reason I ask is that some of the sources were cut down during the editing process, but for the article I want to work on I want the expanded ones that existed in past version. I'm also interested in the general process and policy issue. I guess saving a desired version of AfD articles in case they are deleted is a good idea? If you could drop me a note in case I miss your reply here I'd appreciate it. Thanks for your help. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 06:56, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
I seperated and slightly modified the article into two new ones. I see now (someone let me know) that it was under DRV discussion so I suppose I may have mucked things up a bit.

Thank you for this. I would have done that myself, so you saved me the work. However, I prefer to have such messages on my page until I read them. Related to my principle PINOT, I just take this as a (badly written) message. I believe that information empowers us, as long as we're free to deal with it in a way we choose. In this case, I was actually happy about the message, because I saw that the situation had been well taken care of.
A different case would be vandalism that deletes or distorts information that is already on a page. Maybe I should write a note to clarify that on top of my talk page. Do you think that might help? — Sebastian 19:28, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Keepscases made a good point in this thread: "You'll also notice that my talk page is filled with messages from established users who appreciate my questions". Among people who are still left on Wikipedia, you made one of the 4 supporting comments on Keepscases' talk page (although it was mild: "sometimes helpful, do try to tone it down"). Is that still your opinion after reading the other messages on Keep's talk page and in the link above, and if so, would you like to argue this position in the current conversation?

You're coming dangerously close to wheel warring with admins. First you decide that your judgment overrides that of another admin (me) and you unilaterally overturn a deletion I made without consulting me (or anyone else).

<!-- Hidden note goes here -->
Please reconsider your userfication of Wikipedia:Don't be a whiny bitch to User:MZMcBride/Don't be a whiny bitch. The article had survived a previous AfD, and the results of the last one was no consensus leaning towards keep, so you should have erred on the side of the previous keep of the AfD. I edited it at one point, was part of the first AfD as keep, and was not aware it was up for AfD again - so my voice would have been the one to lean for keep.-- Cerejota ( talk) 09:24, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for the reversion. I have just spent ten minutes trying to work out what happened, and the only thing I can come up with is that I *somehow* hit the rollback link for Toddst's edit, while I flicked through my own watchlist; ANI is on my watchlist at the moment, so it is conceivable.

Give this a read (it's the section where I requested the injunction), specifically the arbitrators response to NuclearWarfare. I'm not sure if delinking slowly would fall under this injunction, but let me know if you still think we should seek clarification.

Thanks for your two messages - I must admit that I thought that what I was doing was not in breach of the "injunction" as I generally only de-link dates where there is inconsistency within an article between two or more date formats, although this is not always the case.

I don't like to undo stuff unilaterally when there's a logical edit summary, so I wanted to quickly drop by and see if you'd mind my recreating the dab page at this address?
I think the missing ingredient is that the link around the city of license for the radio station got removed (by me, I believe), leaving that line with no blue on it. I'd agree that it can ultimately be handled with a hatnote, and best with a link to the government agency on top of the radio station article once it's created - it's a primary identifier for the radio station, but secondary for the agency.
Anyway, my rationale for keeping the dab page right now is that the radio station article will be created — crystal ballish, I know, but they're a very active project. In fact, I could probably drop a note with a couple of the project members and have at least a stub up at that address within half an hour if it were necessary. Once it is created, the hatnote can be added and the dab page deleted, but the 'lazy' incoming links need a home for right now. They'll be a lot harder to find if it's left as a redirect.

My lastest nominee to pass at RfA failed to get my !support vote.--- I'm Spartacus! The artist formerly known as Balloonman 20:03, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Hello xeno i was wondering if you can help me out because i dont think this circumstance needs a user check or would be accepted. I believe i'm dealing with three sock puppets within the Olive skin article previously i edit warred with this user User:Novelaconto over a poorly re written section by him not in toe with the sources provided ,i myself unfortanately got so fraustrated with one of his possible sock accounts that i used my secondary account for sock purposes and he reported me for sock puppetry.So i was blocked for one week but decided to take a wiki break for over a month,so i started to edit again but stayed away from that article as per i did not want no problems but i came across some sources to which i wanted to add another picture of somebody with olive skin so i did though i did leave the part of the article alone that i was blocked for trying to avoid the 3rr and i added a source and pic of a person who happends to be from england who has olive skin but no sooner a day later some newly created account came and changed the picture from the one i added and than added another pic and added person of enlgish descend with olive skin from sun tanning when none of the sources say that so i reverted it once and added back the pic and the previous heading under the picture and added another source but he than changed it back again so i decided to get some admin assistance,now why i suspect that this three accounts are all the same person User:Novelaconto User:Dingdongacid User_Talk:Obahliskh. Now i susupect socks because all these accounts basicaly make controversial disruptive edits and disapear in other words if you check there history their accounts make edits for olive skin and barely anything else and some how always seem to clash with my edits in other words just being disrutpive and pov pushing under different accounts to avoid some sort of reputation ,if you check the talk page for olive skin i do have a history of trying to work out differences with other editors on this article and other established editors as well as some admins have agreed with my edits to the article if you could take the time out to investigate the matter for me there seems to be a pattern of people creating accounts just to duke it out on the olive skin article-- Wikiscribe ( talk) 18:33, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

From what I see at the talkpage, am I to assume we're letting him/her/them stick around as long as they rename?? GJC 18:29, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
(undent, my glasses are lost and I can't count the correct number of colons) GJC pointed me to this thread, sorry if I'm sticking my nose in where it isn't welcome or needed. I've been concerned about this user for a while; in addition to the now-documented impersonation games, I'm concerned about their frequent participation in drama for the sake of drama on ANI threads, on article talk pages, and on the user talk pages of problem editors, frequently making things worse. They've also felt a little "stalky"; at one point I was called out on their talk page, and they certainly have tended to show up frequently in situations I've been involved in. GJC and I have discussed this user a few times before, and decided there was nothing we could really do, and agreed to keep an occasional eye on them (GJC more than me). However, I was quite surprised just now to see someone making preliminary RFA noises on their talk page, that motivates me to try to nip this in the bud if it isn't too late.
I know exactly where GJC is coming from, but I don't believe a block is appropriate or justifiable; they do make some legit edits, and there's no policy against being young, and you can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting half a dozen dramalovers. But this has been, IMHO, a borderline problem user that has now crossed over the border, if only slightly. At the risk of appearing Machiavellian, I wonder if we could take this opportunity to steer the user to a more productive editing style, insistently if necessary. Before, it would have been "something about you just seems a little off; I insist you get a mentor and back away from the drama". Now it can be "you've been impersonating someone in a somewhat disruptive manner; I insist you get a mentor and back away from the drama".
I know this is going to sound like wimping out, but I promise, it's the truth: In spite of the fact that I'm not great with kids and have been a bit annoyed by this person's behavior, I would have been willing to try to help guide them a little. But I'm hardly going to be online for a few weeks, and I've started weaning myself from daily participation even if/when I come back. I think someone else who is actually around more often would be better as a mentor. If anyone here wants to try (seems like it would be a lot of work), I think we have here a user who could benefit from a somewhat tighter leash for a while.
If y'all agree, I suggest we try to have some kind of control over who the mentor is. Someone has independently volunteered to do so on their talk page already, and I don't think that particular volunteer is a suitable mentor. I had in mind someone a bit older and wiser.
I'll try to check back in on this thread once or twice today in case you'd all like further unsolicited drive-by suggestions that complicate your lives. -- barneca ( talk) 21:08, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
He lies to the community and gets rewarded with rollback 3 days later? Ugh, what kind of message is that? Seems like he should at least finish his mentorship.

←I just have to say that you've undertaken a huge job there. :) I don't know if this tip is at all helpful, but the indef-semied article in which I have some involvement, Dapto High School, suggests looking at the editing history of the talk page might be instructive. That particular article, #1511 on your list, still gets periodic vandalism at the talk page from the variable ip vandal who has evidently made it his life's work to express his opinion, uncensored. (See [3]). I don't know if very many vandals are nice enough to leave, "Hi. Still out here; still interested in vandalizing this; thanks" notes, but maybe it's common.

Hi. I removed your from resolved tag from the secret pages thread at WP:AN. Please hear me out. The discussion about MzMcBride has probably run its course, but there is a chat going on about the merit of secret pages and the priorities of the project as a whole. Sending the lot to MfD will likely do ugly things to the former and cause the latter to be dropped. Assuming that MfD is not fundamentally unlike AfD, the higher stakes make it a far less productive and less civil environment than AN. By waiting, we may be able to avoid having to use it altogether. This argument was better before I rewrote it, sucks to be me.
There is another matter. In my nerve-hit opinion, a serious one. If the secret pages go to MfD while most of them are - or just were - deleted, it is going to affect the situation, and it will be an effect achieved not by its merits but by the use of force. That is obscene. -- Kiz o r 21:14, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey....how would one go about requesting an oversight for edits like these that you just blocked for? I have never done a oversight request before and would like to take care of it quickly. - NeutralHomer • Talk • February 27, 2009 @ 01:57
I hope you don't mind me taking advantage of you when I have questions. You've always been very kind and helpful, and I really appreciate it. So my question now is: What would you do about an article like this? It's only two sentences and, while I'm probably biased, I really, reeeeeeally don't see much notability there. As you can see, it's been tagged for notability for 6 months now and it's barely been touched since then, not to mention that it has zero references. I think it should probably be deleted, but I might be wrong, and even if I'm right I'm not 100% sure whether it should be WP:PROD or WP:AFD. (I'm leaning about 90% toward AFD... right?)
So, although I'm asking about a single article right now, what I'm really asking is whether you'd mind giving me a little guidance on the whole deletion scenario because I've never attempted it before. I've read the two pages referenced above as well as WP:CSD and WP:DEL, but I'm afraid I'm hopelessly confused. ::blush:: Any help you can offer would be appreciated. :) -- edi (talk) 06:25, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

There is a problem with a user who keeps leaving rude comments on my talk pages, won't stop. But now he wants to delete them all from my pages to conceal the evidence. I want his comments to stay to show what he said. I have patiently tried using humor with him (by referring to squirrels and calling myself one of the "simple folk"), but nothing works. Also, if you check his history, it seems most of his edits involve edit warring with people all over Wikipedia, and leaving them rude comments. Thus keeping the evidence on my own page could help others with him in the future. Can you keep him from continually and continually editing my pages, or perhaps give him a strong warning or consequence about rude behavior?

It started out as Radwan Dąbrowski-Żądło Family, which had surmountable problems.
The delete votes piled up on this article, the article was moved to "Żądło-Dąbrowski z Dąbrówki h. Radwan" and was re-written, but it was still linked to the original "Radwan Dąbrowski-Żądło Family".
In Deletion Review, I was told if I want to restore the article, I needed to create a userspace version and then come back to Deletion Review with it.
Would you please undelete in my userspace the article "Żądło-Dąbrowski z Dąbrówki h. Radwan"?

hey xeno, I have been trying to create a page for the Cashmere Agency, formatted much like the page for Frontside Promotions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontside_Promotions every time I create it, it is flagged for speedy deletion. All sources have been sited etc. I know you have helped before by creating an article for one of our previous projects Midi Mafia, so is there anyway you can help out with this one?? I can provide all sources etc.
Please let me know!! thanks for the help! Visionarieslyphics ( talk) 01:47, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
I understand how it could sound like I'm attempting to stifle debate, but in actuality, it would appear that this is something of an attempted palace coup, wherein all of the articles were changed to make the newly created article and omnibus/clearinghouse for all the other Firefly-related articles. There is an AfD discussion occurring here, and I've initiated discussion regarding these actions at the WikiProject here. I think that discussion should have been broached before these large scale changes took place. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 18:34, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. I seriously doubt that you remember it, but you helped me out with a userbox formatting problem some time ago (June 2008). I'm having another problem and I'm wondering if you could take a look and see if you can offer some advice. It's kind of hard to describe, but I think it'll be obvious when you get to my user page. I've looked at it in both IE 7 and Firefox 3.0.5 and it looks essentially the same in both. If the problem doesn't show up when you look at it, let me know and I'll try to describe it.
Thanks in advance for your help. You did a great job last time and I'm confident that you'll do the same again. -- edi ( talk) 22:46, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi, You have been very helpful with my revisioning efforts with my Lateral Link entry and I think it is very close to passing the inclusion criteria. Would it be possible for you to check the entry out and let me know of any more revisions I should make before putting it back on wikipedia? I am planning to make final revisions in the next few days. My revised entry can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:LegalB123/Lateral_Link.

I haven't had an article recreated to my userspace before (at least not that I remember), is there ever a way to get the history too? Or is it always just the last version? The reason I ask is that some of the sources were cut down during the editing process, but for the article I want to work on I want the expanded ones that existed in past version. I'm also interested in the general process and policy issue. I guess saving a desired version of AfD articles in case they are deleted is a good idea?

Thank you for this. I would have done that myself, so you saved me the work. However, I prefer to have such messages on my page until I read them. Related to my principle PINOT, I just take this as a (badly written) message. I believe that information empowers us, as long as we're free to deal with it in a way we choose. In this case, I was actually happy about the message, because I saw that the situation had been well taken care of.
A different case would be vandalism that deletes or distorts information that is already on a page. Maybe I should write a note to clarify that on top of my talk page. Do you think that might help? — Sebastian 19:28, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Keepscases made a good point in this thread: "You'll also notice that my talk page is filled with messages from established users who appreciate my questions". Among people who are still left on Wikipedia, you made one of the 4 supporting comments on Keepscases' talk page (although it was mild: "sometimes helpful, do try to tone it down").

You're coming dangerously close to wheel warring with admins.

Please reconsider your userfication of Wikipedia:Don't be a whiny bitch to User:MZMcBride/Don't be a whiny bitch. The article had survived a previous AfD, and the results of the last one was no consensus leaning towards keep, so you should have erred on the side of the previous keep of the AfD. I edited it at one point, was part of the first AfD as keep, and was not aware it was up for AfD again - so my voice would have been the one to lean for keep.-- Cerejota ( talk) 09:24, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Give this a read (it's the section where I requested the injunction), specifically the arbitrators response to NuclearWarfare.

I don't like to undo stuff unilaterally when there's a logical edit summary, so I wanted to quickly drop by and see if you'd mind my recreating the dab page at this address?
I think the missing ingredient is that the link around the city of license for the radio station got removed (by me, I believe), leaving that line with no blue on it. I'd agree that it can ultimately be handled with a hatnote, and best with a link to the government agency on top of the radio station article once it's created - it's a primary identifier for the radio station, but secondary for the agency.
Anyway, my rationale for keeping the dab page right now is that the radio station article will be created — crystal ballish, I know, but they're a very active project. In fact, I could probably drop a note with a couple of the project members and have at least a stub up at that address within half an hour if it were necessary. Once it is created, the hatnote can be added and the dab page deleted, but the 'lazy' incoming links need a home for right now. They'll be a lot harder to find if it's left as a redirect.

Is it just my computer that gets some stupid advert on it everytime you acess the Resi 5 talk page. If it is then what the hell! Can you please take a look at it.-- 'The Ninja lemming' 21:41, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
I am considering doing a help page for new people, who need practise editing; by making a new page (possibly under User:Ninjalemming/New user/help) and giving them random information (about anything, even if it is untrue, this is just practise) that they can put in and practise their writing skills. Obversile this will take some time to start, but what do you think about this, is it a good idea or not? (remember I hought of this first) -- 'The Ninja lemming' 14:10, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Just incase you didn't receive my last thing I decided to put it here also. Can you please check this page and see wheather it is up to your satisfaction before I propose it the Adopt-a-user group. Thank you! 'The Ninja lemming' —Preceding undated comment was added on 14:23, 19 February 2009 (UTC).

My lastest nominee to pass at RfA failed to get my !support vote.--- I'm Spartacus! The artist formerly known as Balloonman 20:03, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Hello xeno i was wondering if you can help me out because i dont think this circumstance needs a user check or would be accepted. I believe i'm dealing with three sock puppets within the Olive skin article previously i edit warred with this user User:Novelaconto over a poorly re written section by him not in toe with the sources provided ,i myself unfortanately got so fraustrated with one of his possible sock accounts that i used my secondary account for sock purposes and he reported me for sock puppetry.So i was blocked for one week but decided to take a wiki break for over a month,so i started to edit again but stayed away from that article as per i did not want no problems but i came across some sources to which i wanted to add another picture of somebody with olive skin so i did though i did leave the part of the article alone that i was blocked for trying to avoid the 3rr and i added a source and pic of a person who happends to be from england who has olive skin but no sooner a day later some newly created account came and changed the picture from the one i added and than added another pic and added person of enlgish descend with olive skin from sun tanning when none of the sources say that so i reverted it once and added back the pic and the previous heading under the picture and added another source but he than changed it back again so i decided to get some admin assistance,now why i suspect that this three accounts are all the same person User:Novelaconto User:Dingdongacid User_Talk:Obahliskh. Now i susupect socks because all these accounts basicaly make controversial disruptive edits and disapear in other words if you check there history their accounts make edits for olive skin and barely anything else and some how always seem to clash with my edits in other words just being disrutpive and pov pushing under different accounts to avoid some sort of reputation ,if you check the talk page for olive skin i do have a history of trying to work out differences with other editors on this article and other established editors as well as some admins have agreed with my edits to the article if you could take the time out to investigate the matter for me there seems to be a pattern of people creating accounts just to duke it out on the olive skin article-- Wikiscribe ( talk) 18:33, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
i made a case yesterday xeno can you have a look at this case for me this is my first time doing this i dont know if i did it right because no admin has commented on the case yet i dont know whether it needs a user check or what Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dingdongacid-- Wikiscribe ( talk) 17:21, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Although you chose to abstain during my RfA, I have to say that I was impressed with your question here, even if I didn't quite answer it to your liking. Its very well thought out and presented; I found it to be the highest quality question in the RfA.

I saw something you posted about another watchlist (one of the admin boards, the thread that's so hot with delete and block all the kids who have hidden/secret/guestbook pages) anyway, Is there a way to have multiple watchlists?

From what I see at the talkpage, am I to assume we're letting him/her/them stick around as long as they rename?? GJC 18:29, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
(undent, my glasses are lost and I can't count the correct number of colons) GJC pointed me to this thread, sorry if I'm sticking my nose in where it isn't welcome or needed. I've been concerned about this user for a while; in addition to the now-documented impersonation games, I'm concerned about their frequent participation in drama for the sake of drama on ANI threads, on article talk pages, and on the user talk pages of problem editors, frequently making things worse. They've also felt a little "stalky"; at one point I was called out on their talk page, and they certainly have tended to show up frequently in situations I've been involved in. GJC and I have discussed this user a few times before, and decided there was nothing we could really do, and agreed to keep an occasional eye on them (GJC more than me). However, I was quite surprised just now to see someone making preliminary RFA noises on their talk page, that motivates me to try to nip this in the bud if it isn't too late.
I know exactly where GJC is coming from, but I don't believe a block is appropriate or justifiable; they do make some legit edits, and there's no policy against being young, and you can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting half a dozen dramalovers. But this has been, IMHO, a borderline problem user that has now crossed over the border, if only slightly. At the risk of appearing Machiavellian, I wonder if we could take this opportunity to steer the user to a more productive editing style, insistently if necessary. Before, it would have been "something about you just seems a little off; I insist you get a mentor and back away from the drama". Now it can be "you've been impersonating someone in a somewhat disruptive manner; I insist you get a mentor and back away from the drama".
I know this is going to sound like wimping out, but I promise, it's the truth: In spite of the fact that I'm not great with kids and have been a bit annoyed by this person's behavior, I would have been willing to try to help guide them a little. But I'm hardly going to be online for a few weeks, and I've started weaning myself from daily participation even if/when I come back. I think someone else who is actually around more often would be better as a mentor. If anyone here wants to try (seems like it would be a lot of work), I think we have here a user who could benefit from a somewhat tighter leash for a while.
If y'all agree, I suggest we try to have some kind of control over who the mentor is. Someone has independently volunteered to do so on their talk page already, and I don't think that particular volunteer is a suitable mentor. I had in mind someone a bit older and wiser.
I'll try to check back in on this thread once or twice today in case you'd all like further unsolicited drive-by suggestions that complicate your lives. -- barneca ( talk) 21:08, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
He lies to the community and gets rewarded with rollback 3 days later? Ugh, what kind of message is that? Seems like he should at least finish his mentorship. Xeno would you mind reviewing his rollback please? If everyone is OK with it then fine, but I don't know if the granting admin ( User:Pedro) knew the background. --(same dude as the other 64 IP above, still dynamic) 64.85.222.56 ( talk) 17:03, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi Xeno - I see from your recent post to ANI that you're willing to consult the protecting admin before unprotecting indefinitely semi-protected articles. Please consider this my request for you to consult me before unprotecting any of the (few) articles I have indefinitely semi'd. I promise you'll get a response more constructive than "no". Sarcasticidealist ( talk) 03:43, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
←I just have to say that you've undertaken a huge job there. :) I don't know if this tip is at all helpful, but the indef-semied article in which I have some involvement, Dapto High School, suggests looking at the editing history of the talk page might be instructive. That particular article, #1511 on your list, still gets periodic vandalism at the talk page from the variable ip vandal who has evidently made it his life's work to express his opinion, uncensored. (See [3]). I don't know if very many vandals are nice enough to leave, "Hi. Still out here; still interested in vandalizing this; thanks" notes, but maybe it's common. What do I know? :) You may have already thought of it, but, in case not, I thought I'd share my experience. Good luck with it, guys! It's a valiant and probably much-needed undertaking. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:09, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

there is an edit war on Animal Farm right now. How do I sort this? It is not a big war just it keeps getting changed book, novel,novella. My opinion is well it says A NOVEL on the front so it's a novel. It's certainly a book I suppose. —Preceding

Tim Vickers ( talk) 18:51, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I removed your from resolved tag from the secret pages thread at WP:AN. Please hear me out. The discussion about MzMcBride has probably run its course, but there is a chat going on about the merit of secret pages and the priorities of the project as a whole. Sending the lot to MfD will likely do ugly things to the former and cause the latter to be dropped. Assuming that MfD is not fundamentally unlike AfD, the higher stakes make it a far less productive and less civil environment than AN. By waiting, we may be able to avoid having to use it altogether. This argument was better before I rewrote it, sucks to be me.
There is another matter. In my nerve-hit opinion, a serious one. If the secret pages go to MfD while most of them are - or just were - deleted, it is going to affect the situation, and it will be an effect achieved not by its merits but by the use of force. That is obscene. -- Kiz o r 21:14, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, can you help me for Statustop? I created a page for this template in my Turkish page (this is my sandbox for statustop template).

Hey....how would one go about requesting an oversight for edits like these that you just blocked for? I have never done a oversight request before and would like to take care of it quickly. - NeutralHomer • Talk • February 27, 2009 @ 01:57
I hope you don't mind me taking advantage of you when I have questions. You've always been very kind and helpful, and I really appreciate it. So my question now is: What would you do about an article like this? It's only two sentences and, while I'm probably biased, I really, reeeeeeally don't see much notability there. As you can see, it's been tagged for notability for 6 months now and it's barely been touched since then, not to mention that it has zero references. I think it should probably be deleted, but I might be wrong, and even if I'm right I'm not 100% sure whether it should be WP:PROD or WP:AFD. (I'm leaning about 90% toward AFD... right?)
So, although I'm asking about a single article right now, what I'm really asking is whether you'd mind giving me a little guidance on the whole deletion scenario because I've never attempted it before. I've read the two pages referenced above as well as WP:CSD and WP:DEL, but I'm afraid I'm hopelessly confused. ::blush:: Any help you can offer would be appreciated. :) -- edi (talk) 06:25, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
