Talk:List of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated episodes#No new episodes since the 17th?. I just happened to catch that and it felt to me that Caring could've asked that on an editors' talk page rather then on there. I don't know if it was out of line to inform of that I didn't get onto him or anything, I don't think, and I just wanted to make him aware for future purposes so he will not get into trouble. ^_^ Swifty* talk 22:58, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

The creator of this article Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Saroos is a very multiple sock.
For this. I've got a better one now and to be honest this has a picture of the Facebook logo in it, which could be a copyright issue(?). I'd appreciate if you could delete it for me. Thanks ツ Jenova 20 ( email) 08:55, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
Hey Dave, how you been? Me, I've been keeping busy working on my fan site and on Taylorswift.com not to mention doing work here and there on here particularly to " We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", where I been keep sources clean like crazy XD, it's like kill me!

Heya again Worm, so I thought I'd let you know that I'm trying to be productive(actually made that SAFE Boats International LLC via WP:AfC and it got accepted the first go-around! wewt! :D) oh yeah, back on task... I found something and I didn't know what to do so I was going to ask you because I really don't know who else to ask. So I recently found out about WikiFauna and so I added the userbox I felt I fit in. Then I noticed it didn't add a category to my userpage when I had seen the wikignome category before. So I went and found the parent category which was fun (sarcasm xD), Category:Wikipedians by Wikipedia editing philosophy. Then I saw there wasn't a category for the WikiSloth, so then I went looking and found that it was deleted in 2007. My issue isn't with it being deleted and all, I was just more-or-less wondering howcome it could be deleted when there's other sub-cats in the parent category with a much smaller population. Here's a bit of an example. (wikignomes/fairies added for perspective)
Well this turned out a lot longer than I was thinking... but I was just curious what your take was basically. Do you think there should be 1 category for each wikifauna added into their respective userboxes (which I could do and wouldn't mind doing at all) or should it only be for wikignomes type of deal? Your opinion/advice would be greatly appreciated good sir :) dain talk 04:02, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
Don't you think the citation situation on Taylor Swift has gotten a little out of control? For example, does this statement need four citations: "In May 2012, Swift contributed vocals to "Both of Us", a Dr. Luke-produced single from B.o.B's second album Strange Clouds.[267][268][269][270]"? What's done when this type of thing happens? MathewTownsend ( talk) 17:17, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
This guy has done nothing but be disruptive on the talk page on " We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". He doesn't want to discuss nothing just wants to get his way, he is beating a dead horse on a subject that was dropped TWO days ago that he started to begin with and was told how to handle it then drops it and wants to bring it up two days later. He has run his mouth at both me and Toa and has gone into name-calling on two separate talk pages. Both can be found on the talk page of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". Now I have advised him, TWICE now to back away slowly and go edit on another page but he apparently does not want to get the hint so I want to get someone else involved before I go and report him to the ANI. ^_^ Swifty* talk 17:26, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Dave :). Hope you're doing good! I recently came around this article Bagatayam Waterfall and i think it currently does not meet the basic minimum requirements for a Wikipedia:Stub. The article only has a external link to flicker website of a picture and a external map link. There are no other reliable sources and references. If possible can you have a look at it and see what can be eventually done ? I believe your help will be invaluable . Regards. TheGeneralUser ( talk) 20:07, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
I commented on here and have no regrets for what I have said on it and have nothing further to say on the subject and will allow it to be whatever it is there. ^_^ Swifty* talk 16:49, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi WormTT. I've been observing Ryan Vesey mentor a new user recently, Red Hat On Head (who really shows promise as a new editor). I took note of the tests that were given after each module, and I was really impressed that the questions not only required comprehension of the text, but also requires editors to think more conceptually about things like editing, resolving conflict, and engaging other editors means to them. It also seems to be a great tool that can reveal one's approach toward these different avenues of contributing to Wikipedia. I think it's a great test and it something that all editors -- regardless of their edit count, years of experience, or permissions -- ought to take. Anyway, I said all this to Ryan, and he told me that he got the mentoring plan and tests from you. So, I want to say thanks for taking the time and care to make it. If I ever find myself mentoring another user, might I be able to use these tools in the future? I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 08:22, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Good Morning, Dave (In the US)! Kudpung requested me to set up a CSD log using Twinkle. However, I didn't want to lose the CSD nominations that I did up until now, so I found a tool (from Dennis Brown's RFA) that shows me my CSD nominations. My full log can be seen here.

section of the COI/N about Michale Servetus? All the posters, other than User:Jdemarcos, seem oddly similar in their syntax and in their editing histories.

Hello Worm that Turned. I read that you were willing to consider nominating editors for adminship. I tried an editor review, but a few weeks later, nothing has happened and I considered self-nominating my self for RFA with the intention of getting some feedback/constructive criticism, but I felt like that was somewhat disingenuous so I decided to ask a user willing to consider nominating people for RFA. I know right off the bat my edit count is low, but recently (the past month or so) I have gotten much more involved and hope to stay that way. So if you wouldn't mind taking a minute to give me some feedback, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. (I'm watching your page so no need for talkback) Go Phightins!

Hi! Say an article is brought to AFD for say, failing GNG. The community comes to the conclusion to delete it and than the subject gets significant coverage from secondary reliable sources. If the article is recreated, does G5 apply? I'm thinking about rewriting a few deleted articles (that were discussed at AFD), and expressing notability that the original author did not express. However, I don't want it to be deleted as a G4. Thoughts? Electric Catfish 23:54, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Just thought you should know Dave, believe what you want of Swifty and me I could really careless, I showed you that the IP you think it connected to Swifty isn't me and you didn't believe me, shows what friend you were to me. I have no care or concern for Swifty anymore and have no desire to edit on Wikipedia as it has too much drama on it and people believe whatever they want. The fact goes to show loyalty means nothing on Wikipedia and I'm editing to you under my real IP address to prove a point. I'm glad Swifty is blocked. It finally puts an end to all the WP:SCRUTINY and conspiracy I got under that account and it's freeing and I thank you for that. I appreciate you finally putting an end to it. You and Wikipedia can think what you will of me it doesn't matter, I really don't care. LOL! Sorry you blocked me under false and wrong accusations but it's whatever to me.

This is obviously difficult, because this is where theory and practise collide. In the beautiful utopia that is a wiki, there are no vested contributors, everyone has equal right to edit an article placing their opinions in and changing how things work. It works very well with a small community, working on a small number of topics with a common goal. This is vaguely what I teach in my adoption school, as it's meant to be the starting point.
What it doesn't take into account is the size of wikipedia, the diversity of opinions out there and most importantly that we are dealing with people, volunteers, who work bloody hard to get articles to featured status. Take me, for example, I've worked bloody hard on Doom Bar, it's my pet project. I know how upset I would be if someone appeared and changed that article significantly, and it's not even a featured article. Yet there are editors who have invested much more of their time and efforts into writing articles, articles that people are interested in reading, articles that have been decided to be the best there are on wikipedia. Should they not feel a little pride that the article has been acknowledged as such? So, yes, a little ownership does creep in - not ownership to the extent that any edits made by an un-approved editor are automatically reverted without consideration (and I'd be interested to hear of examples of that), but ownership to the extent that someone who knows the article inside out, having read all the sources over the period of months or years, knows very quickly if an edit is "wrong".
So, Mathew, yes, I effectively have lead you down the garden path, the reality of the situation is different to the ideology that I discuss in my mentoring. However, the mentoring is sufficient to allow you to function in the encyclopedia, but finishing it does not make you a perfect Wikipedian. The further you delve into Wikipedia, the more unusual situations you find and you need to use the skills you have learned along with your own judgement to handle these situations. I have to put it to you - do you think you've used the skills I imparted when you made this edit? Do you believe you were assuming good faith, discussing civilly? You labelled the editors who have written articles as "divas", suggested that editors are only arguing with you because they are emotionally involved. WormTT( talk) 12:59, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

I don't know if it was out of line to inform of that I didn't get onto him or anything, I don't think, and I just wanted to make him aware for future purposes so he will not get into trouble. ^_^ Swifty* talk 22:58, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Heya again Worm, so I thought I'd let you know that I'm trying to be productive(actually made that SAFE Boats International LLC via WP:AfC and it got accepted the first go-around! wewt! :D) oh yeah, back on task... I found something and I didn't know what to do so I was going to ask you because I really don't know who else to ask. So I recently found out about WikiFauna and so I added the userbox I felt I fit in. Then I noticed it didn't add a category to my userpage when I had seen the wikignome category before. So I went and found the parent category which was fun (sarcasm xD), Category:Wikipedians by Wikipedia editing philosophy. Then I saw there wasn't a category for the WikiSloth, so then I went looking and found that it was deleted in 2007. My issue isn't with it being deleted and all, I was just more-or-less wondering howcome it could be deleted when there's other sub-cats in the parent category with a much smaller population. Here's a bit of an example. (wikignomes/fairies added for perspective)
Well this turned out a lot longer than I was thinking... but I was just curious what your take was basically. Do you think there should be 1 category for each wikifauna added into their respective userboxes (which I could do and wouldn't mind doing at all) or should it only be for wikignomes type of deal? Your opinion/advice would be greatly appreciated good sir :) dain talk 04:02, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
Don't you think the citation situation on Taylor Swift has gotten a little out of control? For example, does this statement need four citations: "In May 2012, Swift contributed vocals to "Both of Us", a Dr. Luke-produced single from B.o.B's second album Strange Clouds.[267][268][269][270]"? What's done when this type of thing happens? MathewTownsend ( talk) 17:17, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
This guy has done nothing but be disruptive on the talk page on " We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". He doesn't want to discuss nothing just wants to get his way, he is beating a dead horse on a subject that was dropped TWO days ago that he started to begin with and was told how to handle it then drops it and wants to bring it up two days later. He has run his mouth at both me and Toa and has gone into name-calling on two separate talk pages. Both can be found on the talk page of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". Now I have advised him, TWICE now to back away slowly and go edit on another page but he apparently does not want to get the hint so I want to get someone else involved before I go and report him to the ANI. ^_^ Swifty* talk 17:26, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Dave :). Hope you're doing good! I recently came around this article Bagatayam Waterfall and i think it currently does not meet the basic minimum requirements for a Wikipedia:Stub. The article only has a external link to flicker website of a picture and a external map link. There are no other reliable sources and references. If possible can you have a look at it and see what can be eventually done ? I believe your help will be invaluable . Regards. TheGeneralUser ( talk) 20:07, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi WormTT. I've been observing Ryan Vesey mentor a new user recently, Red Hat On Head (who really shows promise as a new editor). I took note of the tests that were given after each module, and I was really impressed that the questions not only required comprehension of the text, but also requires editors to think more conceptually about things like editing, resolving conflict, and engaging other editors means to them. It also seems to be a great tool that can reveal one's approach toward these different avenues of contributing to Wikipedia. I think it's a great test and it something that all editors -- regardless of their edit count, years of experience, or permissions -- ought to take. Anyway, I said all this to Ryan, and he told me that he got the mentoring plan and tests from you. So, I want to say thanks for taking the time and care to make it. If I ever find myself mentoring another user, might I be able to use these tools in the future? I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 08:22, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello Worm that Turned. I read that you were willing to consider nominating editors for adminship. I tried an editor review, but a few weeks later, nothing has happened and I considered self-nominating my self for RFA with the intention of getting some feedback/constructive criticism, but I felt like that was somewhat disingenuous so I decided to ask a user willing to consider nominating people for RFA. I know right off the bat my edit count is low, but recently (the past month or so) I have gotten much more involved and hope to stay that way. So if you wouldn't mind taking a minute to give me some feedback, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. (I'm watching your page so no need for talkback) Go Phightins!

Hi! Say an article is brought to AFD for say, failing GNG. The community comes to the conclusion to delete it and than the subject gets significant coverage from secondary reliable sources. If the article is recreated, does G5 apply? I'm thinking about rewriting a few deleted articles (that were discussed at AFD), and expressing notability that the original author did not express. However, I don't want it to be deleted as a G4. Thoughts? Electric Catfish 23:54, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

This is obviously difficult, because this is where theory and practise collide. In the beautiful utopia that is a wiki, there are no vested contributors, everyone has equal right to edit an article placing their opinions in and changing how things work. It works very well with a small community, working on a small number of topics with a common goal. This is vaguely what I teach in my adoption school, as it's meant to be the starting point.
What it doesn't take into account is the size of wikipedia, the diversity of opinions out there and most importantly that we are dealing with people, volunteers, who work bloody hard to get articles to featured status. Take me, for example, I've worked bloody hard on Doom Bar, it's my pet project. I know how upset I would be if someone appeared and changed that article significantly, and it's not even a featured article. Yet there are editors who have invested much more of their time and efforts into writing articles, articles that people are interested in reading, articles that have been decided to be the best there are on wikipedia. Should they not feel a little pride that the article has been acknowledged as such? So, yes, a little ownership does creep in - not ownership to the extent that any edits made by an un-approved editor are automatically reverted without consideration (and I'd be interested to hear of examples of that), but ownership to the extent that someone who knows the article inside out, having read all the sources over the period of months or years, knows very quickly if an edit is "wrong".
So, Mathew, yes, I effectively have lead you down the garden path, the reality of the situation is different to the ideology that I discuss in my mentoring. However, the mentoring is sufficient to allow you to function in the encyclopedia, but finishing it does not make you a perfect Wikipedian. The further you delve into Wikipedia, the more unusual situations you find and you need to use the skills you have learned along with your own judgement to handle these situations. I have to put it to you - do you think you've used the skills I imparted when you made this edit? Do you believe you were assuming good faith, discussing civilly? You labelled the editors who have written articles as "divas", suggested that editors are only arguing with you because they are emotionally involved. WormTT( talk) 12:59, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
