Good point, the statement "Lets say you are in a edit war with a user" is a bit of a "Are you still beating your wife?" question. Tim Vickers 01:17, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
I wanted to ask this already for some time, but I have been away, and haven't spent time on this front. But now I ran into your RFA, (though Tim suggests in his addition of the RFA that he wants to delete WP:RFA ;-) ), I saw you mentioning the chembox -> chembox new task. Can you guesstimate how far you are with {{ chembox}} -> {{ chembox new}}? I see we have a couple of thousands of transclusions, it must be almost finished (?). -- Dirk Beetstra T C 19:08, 7 November 2007 (UTC) (P.S. good luck with your RFA).
I was looking at the 3,3'-Diaminobenzidine controversy. I strongly agree with you that WP is not a MSDS, and that toxicity sections should not look like a copy-and-paste from a MSDS. But why did you delete the NFPA data from the infobox? That is part of the standard infobox and it is included in many Wikipedia chemical articles. Similarly, data such as LD50 could also be added to the infobox instead of simply deleted from the article. -- Itub 09:41, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Itub. You're right, NFPA should not have been deleted. I'm sorry for that. As for LD_50, this field was only recently implemented in {{ Chembox new}}. I've restored both. Thanks for your note. -- Rifleman 82 10:23, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Rifleman 82, first off, well done! Hope you find the tools useful. You might have noticed that your nomination was one of several others I made over that last week, this was partly spurred by the threat of IPs being allowed to create new pages, but also has a more general objective. This other reason for this effort was that I have been a little disturbed by a growing attitude that admins are more than just editors with a few more buttons on their toolbars and are instead "senior editors" with greater authority. I decided that the best way of dealing with this idea was to greatly expand the pool of admins to include a wider diversity of the pool of editors.
Since you have now passed the selection, could you in turn select and nominate some people you trust - I'd suggest aiming for about three over the next month or so. Of those who are selected, could you ask them in turn to select and nominate three candidates. Such a chain of trust should result, over time, in a greatly enlarged pool of admins and thus provide a simple and effective way of spreading the responsibility - perhaps to the point where becoming an admin is seen as normal and expected, rather than a major achievement. I hope you'll be able to help me with this. Thank you. Tim Vickers 22:14, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Tim, Cyclepat
I see your point and I would be happy to participate. I agree it probably shouldn't be a quota. Perhaps you can look at it as identifying *all* editors who have gained the trust of the community to promote them as administrators. Perhaps to the extent that being an admin is in the natural progression for the serious contributor. And that once again, many hands make light work.
That said, I have a few ideas of who to nominate, but I will wait until I settle into and understand the role of an admin fully before I do so. Once again, Tim, thanks for your nom, support, advise! -- Rifleman 82 04:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons."

I notice you reinstated a bizarre notability tag on James Patrick Scully. This is the second time you've tagged it thus. Winners of the second highest award for gallantry in the British Commonwealth are clearly notable. Take it to AfD if you think otherwise. If you still think wikipedia's notability guidelines regarding people who've won important awards should be ignored feel free to take all the people on this list [1] to AfD too. You were wrong to tag it for lacking a reference as well, seeing it was referenced to the official Government paper of record in Great Britain. I notice you've just been made an administrator, which makes your actions here all the stranger. Nick mallory ( talk) 04:13, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
It was simply accurate. You tagged a referenced article for having no references then twice tagged a clearly notable subject as not being notable. You wasted my time in doing this. You haven't apologised for your mistake and continue to argue about it, although on ever shifting grounds. Nick mallory ( talk) 02:37, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
What are you talking about? He won the second highest award for gallantry in Britain. How can that not be notable in its own right? Nick mallory ( talk) 02:37, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Winning an award is not enough by itself. We need to have sources to write an article that is longer than two lines. At the time Rifleman added the tag under dispute, the article was two lines long and was supported only by a link that didn't seem to provide much additional information. Under those circumstances, it is perfectly reasonable to ask for more references or for deleting/merging the article into the article about the award. Now that the article has been expanded to more than two lines and that it has more than one source, it seems notable enough in my opinion. However, I'm not so keen on the pasting of the whole Gazette text. -- Itub ( talk) 10:10, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I've made enough enemies here (mostly by raising holy hell when I see an admin mistreat a normal editor) that I'm sure a RfA of mine would never pass, despite 8,000 or so pretty good edits (good being defined as they're still there after a couple of years). And I'm depressed enough about the state of Wikipedia (see for example the TALK page of WP:sock, the indefinite blocking (essentially by now a defacto ban) of user:Ryoung122 and the argument over the deletions of BIOS on Stephen Coles, James Birren and the GRG) that I don't really want to see the outcome. I'm happy enough just making a better encyclopedia. One of these days one of these administrators on one of their powertrips will block me indefinitely, and that will be my (very natural) signal that it's time for me personally to quit. It seems to me that Wikipedia has degraded some just in the time I've been here, but perhaps that's just because I know the ropes better and have a better sense of the backstabbing that goes on behind the scenes. Did you know that one of my first run-ins with with some doofus who called himself "Essjay"? I said he was a bad egg. I KNEW he was, from the way he treated other people. Were it not for a passing editor who rescued me that time, I wouldn't be here now. But you can't expect that luck to last. ;) S B H arris 23:59, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Dear Rifleman 82,
I have been dealing with much vandalism of various Mediacorp drama pages lately. The edits are all made by a user (now banned) named Colourwolf and his sockpuppets.

Hi rifleman, i think you are the correct person to whom i am suggesting this feature. How about putting a new tag 'Top' next to each section of article, especially in case of long articles which takes you directly to the top of the page,("you might have noticed in case of some websites i suppose"). see its too cumbersome to scroll back to the top of article in case of a lengthy article. This will give a better user experience. Especially for those who are old like me. Hope you understood. Discuss with your other wikipedia admins and reply back. i think its a good idea.

Thanks for uploading Image:Armbrust.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy.

Hi there
Unfortunately, all images of this weapon are either from press releases or official (Ministry of Defence/manufacturer) websites. Like many other militaries, the use of cameras is severely restricted in the Singapore Armed Forces, so it is not reasonable to ask someone to snap a picture of this weapon. Furthermore, "live" weapons are only used at the range — the average soldier may only see this once in their active duty. The weapons they carry on training are "drill" or "inert".
I have attempted searching for PD-USGOV images on Defenselink, without success. So, can this image be considered fair-use or not? Thanks. -- Rifleman 82 ( talk) 15:32, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

The first four shots are of the recently completed Tanjung City Marina off Weld Quay, Georgetown, including the historic Church Street (Ghaut) Pier (linked directly to shore). [3] It's apparent the end of the Church Street Pier facing the sea was either demolished in place of new structures or augmented into the additions.
The fifth shot is presumably remnants of the Tan Jetty, Lee Jetty, or both, southwest from Chew Jetty and Lim Jetty. [4] Both jetties were apparently demolished for some coastal development, perhaps involving land reclamation. There was a local newspaper report on their demolition and the uncertain fate of the remaining jetties a year back.
Based on these assessments, the present names are fine by me. It's the descriptions that require expansion.
Visually, the first two and the last two shots are fine, although the first shot is somewhat awkward with a single pillar in the foreground partially blocking the view of the marina. There are no severe tilting, which can't be said with the third shot (Will work on that later. It's a bit late now). The last four are perfect for cropping from the top and bottom to trim out the sea and sky, good as panoramic versions of the original (which can be retained alongside the panoramic versions).
Will look into these further the coming night. - Two hundred percent ( talk) 18:34, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

P/S It is quite obvious that you are a Chemist. If you are active on the English wikipedia, you might want to take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry, where you can find fellow chemists.

Good point, the statement "Lets say you are in a edit war with a user" is a bit of a "Are you still beating your wife?" question. Tim Vickers 01:17, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
I wanted to ask this already for some time, but I have been away, and haven't spent time on this front. But now I ran into your RFA, (though Tim suggests in his addition of the RFA that he wants to delete WP:RFA ;-) ), I saw you mentioning the chembox -> chembox new task. Can you guesstimate how far you are with {{ chembox}} -> {{ chembox new}}? I see we have a couple of thousands of transclusions, it must be almost finished (?). -- Dirk Beetstra T C 19:08, 7 November 2007 (UTC) (P.S. good luck with your RFA).
I was looking at the 3,3'-Diaminobenzidine controversy. I strongly agree with you that WP is not a MSDS, and that toxicity sections should not look like a copy-and-paste from a MSDS. But why did you delete the NFPA data from the infobox? That is part of the standard infobox and it is included in many Wikipedia chemical articles. Similarly, data such as LD50 could also be added to the infobox instead of simply deleted from the article. -- Itub 09:41, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Itub. You're right, NFPA should not have been deleted. I'm sorry for that. As for LD_50, this field was only recently implemented in {{ Chembox new}}. I've restored both. Thanks for your note. -- Rifleman 82 10:23, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Rifleman 82, first off, well done! Hope you find the tools useful. You might have noticed that your nomination was one of several others I made over that last week, this was partly spurred by the threat of IPs being allowed to create new pages, but also has a more general objective. This other reason for this effort was that I have been a little disturbed by a growing attitude that admins are more than just editors with a few more buttons on their toolbars and are instead "senior editors" with greater authority. I decided that the best way of dealing with this idea was to greatly expand the pool of admins to include a wider diversity of the pool of editors.
Since you have now passed the selection, could you in turn select and nominate some people you trust - I'd suggest aiming for about three over the next month or so. Of those who are selected, could you ask them in turn to select and nominate three candidates. Such a chain of trust should result, over time, in a greatly enlarged pool of admins and thus provide a simple and effective way of spreading the responsibility - perhaps to the point where becoming an admin is seen as normal and expected, rather than a major achievement. I hope you'll be able to help me with this. Thank you. Tim Vickers 22:14, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Tim, Cyclepat
I see your point and I would be happy to participate. I agree it probably shouldn't be a quota. Perhaps you can look at it as identifying *all* editors who have gained the trust of the community to promote them as administrators. Perhaps to the extent that being an admin is in the natural progression for the serious contributor. And that once again, many hands make light work.
That said, I have a few ideas of who to nominate, but I will wait until I settle into and understand the role of an admin fully before I do so. Once again, Tim, thanks for your nom, support, advise! -- Rifleman 82 04:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons."

I notice you reinstated a bizarre notability tag on James Patrick Scully. This is the second time you've tagged it thus. Winners of the second highest award for gallantry in the British Commonwealth are clearly notable. Take it to AfD if you think otherwise. If you still think wikipedia's notability guidelines regarding people who've won important awards should be ignored feel free to take all the people on this list [1] to AfD too. You were wrong to tag it for lacking a reference as well, seeing it was referenced to the official Government paper of record in Great Britain. I notice you've just been made an administrator, which makes your actions here all the stranger. Nick mallory ( talk) 04:13, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
It was simply accurate. You tagged a referenced article for having no references then twice tagged a clearly notable subject as not being notable. You wasted my time in doing this. You haven't apologised for your mistake and continue to argue about it, although on ever shifting grounds. Nick mallory ( talk) 02:37, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
What are you talking about? He won the second highest award for gallantry in Britain. How can that not be notable in its own right? Nick mallory ( talk) 02:37, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Winning an award is not enough by itself. We need to have sources to write an article that is longer than two lines. At the time Rifleman added the tag under dispute, the article was two lines long and was supported only by a link that didn't seem to provide much additional information. Under those circumstances, it is perfectly reasonable to ask for more references or for deleting/merging the article into the article about the award. Now that the article has been expanded to more than two lines and that it has more than one source, it seems notable enough in my opinion. However, I'm not so keen on the pasting of the whole Gazette text. -- Itub ( talk) 10:10, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I've made enough enemies here (mostly by raising holy hell when I see an admin mistreat a normal editor) that I'm sure a RfA of mine would never pass, despite 8,000 or so pretty good edits (good being defined as they're still there after a couple of years). And I'm depressed enough about the state of Wikipedia (see for example the TALK page of WP:sock, the indefinite blocking (essentially by now a defacto ban) of user:Ryoung122 and the argument over the deletions of BIOS on Stephen Coles, James Birren and the GRG) that I don't really want to see the outcome. I'm happy enough just making a better encyclopedia. One of these days one of these administrators on one of their powertrips will block me indefinitely, and that will be my (very natural) signal that it's time for me personally to quit. It seems to me that Wikipedia has degraded some just in the time I've been here, but perhaps that's just because I know the ropes better and have a better sense of the backstabbing that goes on behind the scenes. Did you know that one of my first run-ins with with some doofus who called himself "Essjay"? I said he was a bad egg. I KNEW he was, from the way he treated other people. Were it not for a passing editor who rescued me that time, I wouldn't be here now. But you can't expect that luck to last. ;) S B H arris 23:59, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Dear Rifleman 82,
I have been dealing with much vandalism of various Mediacorp drama pages lately. The edits are all made by a user (now banned) named Colourwolf and his sockpuppets. These vandalisms often include inserting blatantly fake contents into Mediacorp drama pages, with the contents dealing with superhuman powers, magic cards, Power Rangers, among others.

Hi rifleman, i think you are the correct person to whom i am suggesting this feature. How about putting a new tag 'Top' next to each section of article, especially in case of long articles which takes you directly to the top of the page,("you might have noticed in case of some websites i suppose"). see its too cumbersome to scroll back to the top of article in case of a lengthy article. This will give a better user experience. Especially for those who are old like me. Hope you understood. Discuss with your other wikipedia admins and reply back. i think its a good idea.

Thanks for uploading Image:Armbrust.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy.

Hi there
Unfortunately, all images of this weapon are either from press releases or official (Ministry of Defence/manufacturer) websites. Like many other militaries, the use of cameras is severely restricted in the Singapore Armed Forces, so it is not reasonable to ask someone to snap a picture of this weapon. Furthermore, "live" weapons are only used at the range — the average soldier may only see this once in their active duty. The weapons they carry on training are "drill" or "inert".
I have attempted searching for PD-USGOV images on Defenselink, without success. So, can this image be considered fair-use or not? Thanks. -- Rifleman 82 ( talk) 15:32, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

The first four shots are of the recently completed Tanjung City Marina off Weld Quay, Georgetown, including the historic Church Street (Ghaut) Pier (linked directly to shore). [3] It's apparent the end of the Church Street Pier facing the sea was either demolished in place of new structures or augmented into the additions.
The fifth shot is presumably remnants of the Tan Jetty, Lee Jetty, or both, southwest from Chew Jetty and Lim Jetty. [4] Both jetties were apparently demolished for some coastal development, perhaps involving land reclamation. There was a local newspaper report on their demolition and the uncertain fate of the remaining jetties a year back.
Based on these assessments, the present names are fine by me. It's the descriptions that require expansion.
Visually, the first two and the last two shots are fine, although the first shot is somewhat awkward with a single pillar in the foreground partially blocking the view of the marina. There are no severe tilting, which can't be said with the third shot (Will work on that later. It's a bit late now). The last four are perfect for cropping from the top and bottom to trim out the sea and sky, good as panoramic versions of the original (which can be retained alongside the panoramic versions).
Will look into these further the coming night. - Two hundred percent ( talk) 18:34, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

To wit, could you please add 2 OH- to the left hand side, and a molecule of water on the right hand side? That balances it (the two electrons in the OH- reduce the copper, and the H to make the water is the aldehyde H which doesn't show). It wouldn't be hard to change it so it's right.
