Re: Insects GA review

Yes, that should cover it, can you help with the cite refs though? Many of the refs that I implemented were bare refs, or just hyperlinks. Bugboy52.4 (talk) 20:00, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, and thanks, I am going to start to change all of them, or at least most, and help would be appreciated now, so tell me if your in. Bugboy52.4 (talk) 19:56, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

You see all the Gullan and Cranston refs? They are refering to ref 15, so I changed ref 15 to <ref name= Gullan and Cranston>{{cite book |last=Gullan |first=P.J. |coauthors=P.S. Cranston |title=The Insects: An Outline of Entomology |publisher=Blackwell Publishing |location=Oxford |date=2005 |edition=3 |pages=22–48 |isbn=1-4051-1113-5}</ref> and tested it on 16, and it works, so change all the refs with Gullan and Cranston, like refs 22 - 29, to just <ref name= Gullan and Cranston>, that should help a lot, thanks for your help too! Bugboy52.4 (talk) 20:49, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Try it with <ref name= Gullan and Cranston>{{cite book |last=Gullan |first=P.J. |coauthors=P.S. Cranston |title=The Insects: An Outline of Entomology |publisher=Blackwell Publishing |location=Oxford |date=2005 |edition=3 |pages= |isbn=1-4051-1113-5}</ref> where the pages are those stated in the ref. Bugboy52.4 (talk) 22:16, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

If you want a list, refs 9, 18, 19, 49, 50, 52, 61, 62, 64, 66, 68, 69, 70 - 76, 82 need to be cited, but I wouldn't make you do all that. I will do 66 - 82, deal? Bugboy52.4 (talk) 00:31, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

No Problem, it was my job in the first place and I thank you for your help, so I give you this Barnstar...

• sigh*, thank goodness, lets hope this doesn't fail. Alright just give me the go ahead when you think all the refs are fixed, and try to make sure. Bugboy52.4 (talk) 15:05, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for signing my autograph book. Bugboy52.4 (talk) 21:14, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

I merged a couple pairs of refs. The way to do this is through the use of ref name=blabla notation within the XML used within wikipedia coding. I didn't notice any other occurrences of possible ref mergers. Thegreatdr (talk) 22:58, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: question

Hi Damërung,

Do you know what the difference between a bare ref and a cite ref is (for the current Insect GA review)? a little insignificant 14:44, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, in an article you can put a reference like this: "<ref>Gullan and Cranston, 57.</ref>" (taken from the article: Insect). This is a way to cite reference, but it´s primitive, more like... too simple, naked or incomplete; that kind of reference will only show the text: Gullan and Cranston, 57. (as seen in the reference #16). However, there is the proper template to cite references in a more correct or complete way like this: "<ref>{{cite book |last=Gullan |first=P.J. |coauthors=P.S. Cranston |title=The Insects: An Outline of Entomology |publisher=Blackwell Publishing |location=Oxford |date=2005 |edition=3 |pages=22–48 |isbn=1-4051-1113-5}}</ref>" (as seen in reference #15). This template shows the reference with it´s proper format, and not only the text typed by someone (which in some cases could not be true), as you see in this better citation, the editor who write it has the ISBN of the book and he putted it in the template, which makes the information more reliable. Each pipe mark (|) separates the sections of the reference, you can find how to use these templates here (for books) and here (for web citations).

In this other reference: "<ref>{{Cite book |title=[[Oxford English Dictionary]] |publisher=Oxford University Press}}</ref>" (reference #3) you can see that the user who wrote it also put the title as a link to a page that actually talks about that book.

Tell me if you have more questions about anything. - Damërung ^{...ÏìíÏ...}_{_ΞΞΞ_} . --

inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pushed to the Limit

Come on back. The nom didn't check well enough before her nomination. The film had indeed received coverage and reviews 17 years ago and so I expanded and sourced the article to show just that. However, the sweetest gem the nom missed is that the film was screened at a festival 14 years after its release, and WP:NF specifically instructs that makes it notable in that "The film was given a commercial re-release, or screened in a festival, at least five years after initial release.".

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Run's House. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. e0steven(☎Talk|✍Contrib) 20:16, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Oops! My mistake! It looks like you did several edits each adding/removing a small piece. Taken in part the bit I was rolling back was the addition of "middletown new york." which you subsequently removed yourself! I apologize and I would recommend that you make all of your edits in a single edit rather than sporadic ones that may be seen as random sentences being inserted into an article. You can always Show Preview if you're not sure how an edit will look. Thanks e0steven(☎Talk|✍Contrib) 19:46, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Bios deletion

Sorry I couldn´t answer earlier, my computer got wrecked
About creating new bios, yes, they are highly vulnerable to deletion, however, an article can always be upgraded or embellished to meet the qualities of a well-redacted article. If an article (in this case, the bio) has good source references, then that make it more hard to be deleted, and even if it's proposed for deletion, there is a discussion about such choice. If you think you have good reference information to create the article, then don´t think it twice, be bold and do it! It is always good to do whatever to make wikipedia better and don´t worry, I´ll make sure you won´t get bitten, even if you make a mistake. - Damërung ^{...ÏìíÏ...}_{_ΞΞΞ_} . --  07:09, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

ThankSpam

My RfA Thank you for participating in my "RecFA", which passed with a final tally of 153/39/22. There were issues raised regarding my adminship that I intend to cogitate upon, but I am grateful for the very many supportive comments I received and for the efforts of certain editors (Ceoil, Noroton and Lar especially) in responding to some issues. I wish to note how humbled I was when I read Buster7's support comment, although a fair majority gave me great pleasure. I would also note those whose opposes or neutral were based in process concerns and who otherwise commented kindly in regard to my record. I recognise that the process itself was unusual, and the format was generally considered questionable - and I accept that I was mistaken in my perception of how it would be received - but I am particularly grateful for those whose opposes and neutrals were based in perceptions of how I was not performing to the standards expected of an administrator. As much as the support I received, those comments are hopefully going to allow me to be a better contributor to the project. Thank you. Very much.

Child cannibalism/Blood libel

Look at the child cannibailsm aticle. You have one section on blood libel. You have another on "Ritual practice myths" which is about blood libel. You have the Swift and Popular Culture sections which are about fictional works. There's no discussion of actual child cannibalism. The article itself is blood libel, in the sense that it alleges that this practice occurs, when it actually does not appear to, based on any reliable sources. -Chunky Rice (talk) 17:17, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I disagree - There's no content worth saving here. Child cannibalism simply does not exist as the article represents it. It should redirect to either blood libel or cannibalism. I plan on bringing it to AfD when I have time. -Chunky Rice (talk) 21:31, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. The removal of all the text appears to be harsh and transforms the article into a two liner, a totally uninterresting articles. I came to read about this singer. Thankfully, I know about the history and I was able to read what I wanted from the version burried in the history. Before leaving, I thought that it might serve other peoples unaware of the system to restore the tex, so that's what I did. You thought otherwise and I regret it.

Rollback

I have [2] rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:27, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: Redirect

About this issue, I understand why you make that redirection, on one hand, you use an article-class title (caption) to redirect to a wikipedia-class section, and that is not a good idea (as I asume). In the other hand, the caption that you used is not something that (as I can see) could be needed to create an article (unless there could be a movie or book or whatever named "Vandalism warnings" which need to use that title). In case that such circumstance or similar arrives, the redirectional page could be changed as easy as it was created by you. So in conclusion:

• I´m glad that you were very bold in doing this
• This doesn´t disturbs or makes problem with anything, so probably, there won´t be any needing for removing it
• Don´t worry if it is found for the community that it has to be erased or changed, i have the page on my watchlist
• As you can see in wikipedia-class sections, most of them has shortcuts ( exactly like this one ([[WP:SC]])). They are initials instead of full words (like your redirection) that redirect to a wikipedia page, with the same intention as yours in make things easier, so if you still have doubts in your decision, you can change it to a shortcut (they are used not only in pages, but in sections of pages also)
• Sorry for delaying, but I have been busy in other wikimedia projects and wikisites beyond wikimedia
• You can use the shoutbox in my talk page, it´s a useful tool that helps in synergy and cooperation edits for online users preventing overflooding (in talkpage sections). Principally prevents overflooding because you can place smaller comments there instead of making an entire new section to place it. I can install it in your page if you want (I hope to spread it to other wikipedians). - Damërung ^{...ÏìíÏ...}_{_ΞΞΞ_} . --  02:05, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk page shoutbox ver. 1.0

Owner´s manual
1. Introduction The shoutbox is a useful tool where smaller comments are posted. Examples are, "thanks for .....", "are you online?", "nice edit", "I´ve finished the ......", etc. It can also be used as a semi-instant messaging box where conversations can be held. These are some advantages of using a shoutbox: Avoids the need of creating a whole new section to place a small comment As consequence of the previous, it prevents overflooding in the talk page (a talk page will be filled eventually with more comments, and the user may have to create archives for storage of the previous discussions, the use of this tool allows to keep clean or compact the talk page, and prevents the early need to use archives) For users that are online, this can facilitate the synergy in cooperative edits on wikipedia. For example; if two or more users are working in real time on an article, articles of the same list or articles within the same category, they can communicate about progress or coordination tasks (again, avoiding overflooding) The shoutbox is intended to be in the talk page, so the user gets inmediate notification of a new message. My intentions in creating this chat-tool are to help in wikipedia´s improvement and enhancement, not to be confused with a WP:NOT violation. The idea of using a shoutbox in talk pages was originally mine (I don´t know of other user who had the same idea as me previously), however, it was inspired by: ♥Soccer5525♥Talk To Me! (so I´m giving his/her corresponding credits)
2. Use & maintenance To place a new comment in the shoutbox, a text in the bottom says "Please make comments at the top. Click here to shout" and it redirects to the edit section of the page. The shoutbox is a fixed object that must be in the first (on top) part of the edit section (the source code) so a user can see an arrow which leads him where to place the comment. The reply is suposed to be in the respective shoutbox of the other wikipedian. Image of the shoutbox source code, highlighting the section in which you can alter the position of the shoutbox You can change the position in where the shoutbox is placed; in the picture, you can see a line highlighted, that is the code for the positioning stuff. The number "20px" means that the object will separate 20 pixels from the right margins (and 50 pixels (px) from the top margins). The proper separation varies in each user talk page. You can also change the word "right" for "left" and "top" for "bottom" and the code will work accordingly. The code highlighted in the left means that the position from margins will be taken as of the page and not the screen. For example: if you change the word "absolute" for "fixed", the position will be separated from the screen margins (which are not the same). In consequence, the object (in this case, the shoutbox) will stick to the screen, no matter if you scroll down the page. Also, in the section marked below, if you change the word "collapsible" for "collapsible collapsed", with this you can make the shoutbox to stay collapsed all the time by default (untill you press the button "show"), keeping the shoutbox even more compact. Periodically you must manually clean (delete) the past comments, so the shoutbox is kept clean.

Request to participate in University of Washington survey on tool to quickly understand Wikipedians’ reputations

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington. In April, we met with some local Wikipedians to learn what they would like to know about other editors’ history and activities (within Wikipedia) when interacting with them on talk pages. The goal of those sessions was to gather feedback to help design an embedded application that could quickly communicate useful information about other Wikipedians. We have now created a few images that we feel represent some of what our participants thought was important. We would appreciate it if you took a few minutes of your time to complete an online survey that investigates whether or not these images would be useful to you. Your quick contribution would be very valuable to our research group and ultimately to Wikipedia. (When finished, the code for this application will be given over to the Wikipedia community to use and/or adjust as they see fit.)

Willing to spend a few minutes taking our survey? Click this link.

Please feel free to share the link with other Wikipedians. The more feedback, the better! The survey is completely anonymous and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. All data is used for university research purposes only.

Thank you for your time! If you have any questions about our research or research group, please visit our user page. Commprac01 (talk) 21:11, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Warning vandals

You seem to have warned User:Elizabethmarhors incorrectly; you jumped to a final warning right away. Usually vandals get at least 2 warnings before final warning (personally, I start with uw-vandalism2, then go up to 3 or 4); the only exception is when their first instance of vandalism is already a serious offence (for example, libellous BLP violations, posting someone's personal information, etc.). I will still block the user if she vandalizes again after that warning, but many other admins would not, and would say that the user was not warned appropriately and can be re-reported later. Please try to warn appropriately in the future. Thanks, rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 22:39, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

No worries; I have done the same thing, and personally I don't always agree with Wikipedia's guideline of giving them so many warnings. In cases like this user, where it's clear what the user is here for, it seems ridiculous to give an obvious vandal so many second chances. But it is the standard, so there's not much I can do about it...so I follow it not because I want to be nice to the vandals, but for pragmatic reasons: if I warn them properly, I can get their asses blocked more quickly :) rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 00:47, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

IP Vandal

Hello, maybe you can help me with something. For months, I have been dealing with an IP vandal who continues to add fan fiction to numerous articles associated with Days of Our Lives. I see that you just warned them not to vandalize another page, Sabrina Spellman. The IP is 85.226.66.142. He/she keeps ignoring vandalism warnings, and continues to disrupt this site. Also, if you look at my contributions, I have had to deal with him/her in the past when their IP changes everytime, usually to revert fan fiction. Anything we can do? Perhaps a range block? Thanks. Rm994 (talk) 00:17, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, that is a very good idea. I don't have any admin priveledges to block anyone though, and yes...I have been frantically scrambling to try and revert as many edits as possible. It's exhausting! If these vandals put as much time into making this site right, as they do making it wrong, we'd have an even more awesome site. Thanks for your help :) Rm994 (talk) 03:12, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

You just acquired a new clock!

Congratulations for purchasing my first made clock. This clock has been delivered to your userspace, now you can custom the options that best fit you:

{{User:Damerung/Templates/Clock 1|option 1|option 2|option 3|option 4}}

Option 1

Here you will place the local time zone in where you live (example: -6 if you live in Manitoba, Mexico city or Mississipi)

Option 2

Here you will place the acronym or initials of the place in where you live (example: CA if you live in California, U.S. if you don´t want to be too specific or even something like this: [[United States|U.S.]] with the hyperlink to the country)

Note: Do not use more than 5 initials (4 if using periods (like in: D.F.)) or the clock will look bad.

Option 3

Here you can place any of the available colors of the background of the clock (6 primary, 3 extra, 2 special and 1 default). They are: red, blue, green, yellow, orange, purple, pink, brown, gray, tangerine and fusion

Note: If you leave option 3 in blank (without putting anything), the default will be grass-green.

Option 4

Do not put anything in this slot unless the time displayed in the clock does not coincide with your local time (due to daylight saving time). In that case, you put +1 or -1 to set the time with one extra hour or one hour less.

Note: Only works with parameters: +1, -1, +2 and -2

In conclusion, if for example you put {{User:Damërung/Templates/Clock 1 | -6 | [[Mexico city|D.F.]] | green | +1}} you will display a green clock saying: "D.F. time" with the current time in Mexico city and adding one extra hour due summer time. You can also put the clock template in an own subpage of yours like: 'User:A little insignificant/Archive1/Clock 1' instead of transcluding it from my user space.
You can always remove this message if you want by deleting the template transclussion here in your talk page.

It took me long to design it, and in the end, I still have some trouble with the interface (caused by the wiki´s software), but I placed it in a provisional section here to open it as soon as possible (now). In this section I will post helpful information for each adoptee depending on his/her specialty, the path in wikipedia (like someone working more in translations or someone else working more in nominations, etc...) and the contributions made (monitored). As you´re the most exceptional of the four (and the first one), you started with three levels of develop (soon four), and I will periodocally add more stuff and notifying you at the shoutbox. Later, I could start making the award for finding my secret page (again, you the first). Come C, it´s still small, but it´ll grew bigger. - Damërung ^{...ÏìíÏ...}_{_Ξ_} . --  08:48, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

It looks awesome! Thanks for the tips, I do need to work on the new users issue. I've noticed that some new users go through months of editing seeing nothing on their talk pages but automated templates ({{subst:uw-vandalism1}}, {{subst:welcome}}, {{subst:3RR}}, etc.) I'll try to be more personal and assume good faith (again, something I've had issues with in the past.) a little insignificant 18:39, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Lollipop

Ah. I think I'd just delete that sentence then; I agree it's unreferenced and not really useful. Regards, Jgm (talk) 00:21, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I've restored the sentence about the etymology; the etymology is taken from the Online Etymology Dictionary (hereafter EtymOnline to prevent confusion with the other OED), which I would hope can be considered a reliable source for a claim about a word's etymology although I don't know if it's ever been vetted by a group of Wikipedians. Most of its information is taken from the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), and if people doubt the integrity of EtymOnline then it would not be hard to ask someone with OED access to go check what their entry on lollipop is. (I used to have access, but at present I do not.) I like template:lollipop by the way. -- Soap ^Talk/_{Contributions} 03:33, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Do you also want to participate? You can be member 0002 of the Article Writing Monastery of July 15-20th (name can be changed if it sounds goofy). If we have at least 2 members, preferably at least 3, then I will deem the effort a partial success! User F203 (talk) 23:07, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. So it WAS moved to an obscure place.

Could you be member 0002? One is a lonely number. Also, I'm thinking of making it July 20-24th since the 20th is a Monday...easier to remember. Also WP is acting up (error messages) so after this, I'm logging off. User F203 (talk) 16:32, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

The NODRAMA

I didn´t even know of the existence of that page, how did you find that out? I think that project is very original and I´ll join soon.
Anyway, sorry if I delay in responding or updating your section in the academy, its just that I´ve been contributing outside wikipedia (en) in meta for the elections of the board of trustees, mostly translating (my specialty, but I´ll not place it in the academy as one of my specialties untill I can master more at least another language (russian or german)).
By the way, (just to be sure) do you find my new signature inapropriate in any way? (I was told to change it again because the yellow is hard to be read, and I agreed to do it, updating my museum). - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 20:21, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

AIV

Hi there! You recently reported an IP at AIV that had not committed an amount of vandalism which is usually considered for a block (I'm not an admin, btw). ...

• 24.168.28.87 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) Vandalism after warnings. A little insignificant (talk) 18:49, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

• IP has received a level 1 and level 2 warning only. Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 19:03, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if this was a misunderstanding or a mistake, but make sure you familiarize yourself with the workings of AIV if you haven't already, because it saves a lot of time for the admins if they can just review the vandal's accounts. Re-report the user if they continue to vandalize past the final warning. Thanks! ceranthor 19:23, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

No no no no! Everyone appreciates enthusiastic editors, don't worry about it. I just wanted to let you know since you seem like the type who likes to improve on their mistakes. Keep up the good work. ceranthor 20:11, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

And btw, it doesn't waste admin's time, it doesn't really harden their jobs at all, it justs becomes monotonous for them to block vandal after vandal and so that saves them just a little bit of time. ceranthor 20:14, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Re: my questions.

Gee, I thought folks would appreciate me asking about them before doing them.

By "cutie pie" I'm referring to templates, that though might be useful, are novel and even funny.

By galleries, I'm not so sure, Wikicommons has some explicit stuff. Consider this: (ejaculation). "Nekkid" is a colloquialism for nude, nude's as per commonfolk might percieve nude art, and maybe more explicit stuff. Can I have a photo gallery of such, or should I create a sub-page--with, I suppose, appropriate notice on the link, and discliamers on the page?

Now, am I permitted to re-post my questions?68.179.108.25 (talk) 20:04, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Re this edit [5], the user was already notified right away, [6] they like to constantly blank things. You need about 15 different versions to see their real talk page.--Crossmr (talk) 23:42, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Sure go ahead. I hope it works. Its occasionally sketchy and sometimes the bot doesn't archive when its supposed to. I rarely get a straight answer as to why, so sometimes I need to manually archive, but its mostly good. I really wish the community would take a stand and insist on archiving anything that isn't vandalism. It makes it so hard to read talk pages.--Crossmr (talk) 15:40, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

About the Rape of Nanking article

"cleaned up, more factual, less pov and weasel " was the reason you gave to explain your undo.

"More factual"-- the statements have attached referenced sources, but you deliverately ignored them.

"Less pov"-- the original statement said "misconception", now replaced by "notion", and you think "misconception" is less pov than "notion", great.

"Less weasel"--you deleted statements with references,citing "more factual"; you rejected the word "notion" and used "misconception", citing "less pov".

GREEN SHIFT IN THE ECONOMY: AN INTEGRATED RESPONSE TO THE CRISIS

Hi. I have taken off your speedy-deletion tag, because WP:CSD#A1 is really not appropriate - first, it says explicitly "This applies only to very short articles" and this article is enormous, and second, the contest is actually clear. I agree it's not a suitable article, but I can't think of a suitable speedy - I can't find a source from which it has been copied, so G12 won't do - and I thnk it'll have to be PRODded. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:41, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes, the speedy criteria are actually quite tightly drawn. I used to be very reluctant to PROD because I thought a PROD would inevitably be taken off, so on to all the hassle of AfD; but I find that if you express the reason clearly, with links to policies, surprisingly often the authors get the message and do not contest. I keep

{{subst:prod|this is an [[WP:V|unsourced]] [[WP:NEO|neologism]] and Wikipedia is [[WP:NAD|not a dictionary]].}}

set up in a text file so I can cut and paste it, it is so often useful for things where one might be tempted to try {{db-nocontext}} or {{db-vandalism}} but neither really applies. There's good advice about speedy tagging from an experienced admin at WP:10CSD and WP:A7M. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:32, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

AN/I

I didn't take offense! But I really had thought that I was pretty consistent in the nature of my complaint. The going around in circles you and others complain about is actually just what happens on talk pages when Stevertigo gets involved. I can understand why you can see this as an obstacle to understanding the nature of the problem. It is like my trying to tell you that the problem is fog, and your saying that you cannot SEE the problem because of all the fog (I do not mean to criticize you). Stevertigo cannot justify any change he wishes to make to an article, once one raises NOR and NPOV concerns. But that does not make him stop, he just explains he has a conceptual apporach as if thse made NPOV and NOR irrelevant. Maybe it is hard to explain but really I have tried my best. Slrubenstein | Talk 19:30, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Blocking him seems harsh if this is the first time you have encountered him. But if you (I really mean "if one" and I really mean "if anyone") had dealt with Tigo several times, or since I think 2003 when he first became active, one would consider banning appropriate. This is one of the reasons for wp:de - to deal with problems that appear minor in any one single case but are actually part of a much larger pattern, only visible in several cases. You or another editor complained when I brought up a case from 2003 (although I did so solely at the request of another editor who wanted to know what I was referring to). Perhaps you (or whomever it was) thought 2003 is ancient history. My point is that in six years of editors' complaining, he has not changed his behavior. In fact, his M.O. is exactly the same now as it was in 2003. And if you look at areas he has been involved in between 2003 and now you see a consistenct pattern.

Wikipedia used to be small enough that virtually anything anyone did was apparent, or soon apparent, to all other editors and an editor who was consistently tendentious was easily banned. Usually given an indef ban until he or she appeared at the list-serve with a mea culpa asking to be restored. In some cases, the user really had reformed and today continues to be a constructive editor. In some cases the mea culpa was BS and the user was banned again. The problem today is that someone can take Stevertigo to AN/I and for most administrators, each new conflict is completely new, editors haven't been around long enough, or WIkipedia is now big enough, so that this is their first encounter with Stevertigo. Jayjg has had many encounters with Stevertigo as have I which is (I propose) why our responses are different. If my "prosecution case" :-) seems week it is because for the most part I am just fed up with Sevetigo. That sounds like a weak case but let me put it into perspective: has he ever written or made a substantive contribution to an article? None that I know of. He just does not do research. He makes things up (original research) and thank goodness usually doesn't get away with it. But he likes people to listen to his ideas, like the guy at the bar who sits down next to you and won't go away. The equivalent here is taking over talk pages.

Andto be frank, I am disappointed no one else cared about the "hebe" in the utterly gratuitous "hebetudisnous" that SV levelled against another editor. There was a time when such behavior here simply was not tolaerated.

All this said, if you think you can mediate, go ahead. Iwill try my best to step aside. My guess is that now that he has a seat at the "AN/I" bar, he doesn't need to pester people at Holocaust Deial. We can close the AN/I thread - but I woulod ask you to check in on him once in a while, maybe once a month, and see where he has spent a lot of time on the talk page. I bet you will see the same pattern. Slrubenstein | Talk 01:11, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Well, I do hope this means people can refocus on more constructive things. As for me - well, I'm glad to refocus on articles. I hope that the ultimate result of all of this will be positive. Slrubenstein | Talk 17:35, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

A little insignificant

Hello my dear adoptee... I hope you're good for today. I send you this message to discuss some matters:

First

About the academy, I have successfully updated it with some new stuff, and I also considered the time I was absent, so I added lot o' stuff (accordingly). As always, most of the tips are related to things that can be specially useful for you (depending on your contributions, direction and workshop here). For example; you were talking to me about the adminship, and I know that you decided to postpone it a little bit, but anyway I added some useful info (intro) of functions related to admins (page protection) that can be more useful in the future. I also started the fouth level of knowledge "Advanced formatting" and I´ll keep updating. I´m always open for any doubt or question

Second

Congratulations for your new promotion within wikipedia´s service stages. Maybe you didn´t noticed, but you´re now a Rank-A1 user, and I now deliver to you this barnstar (that is still under construction, but you have the first prototype) which includes all the elements of the award of the stage in the form of a barnstar. So here it is:

		- Service Rank-A1
		This editor is a Journeyman Editor, and is entitled to display this Service Badge and the Wikipedia Little Red Book.

Responses aren't really necessary, it's just that people usually drop by with a short note. Just wanted to make sure you saw it is all. 8-) BTW, it might not be a good idea to mark all your talk page edits as minor. In general, minor edits are: 1) rv of obvious vandalism, 2) Spelling, formatting & grammar fixes 3) layout, rearrangement of pictures, sentences or paragraphs, & 3) correcting internal or external links.

However, as the article is entirely non-encyclopedic, I have placed a {{prod}} instead. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:14, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure that removing the prod and putting a {{db-spam}} on the page was really the solution. The page is not openly promotional, since it does not mention any particular company to turn to for your print design solutions. I think the prod, as worded, was probably the best route to deletion of this poor article. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:43, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Could you helo out?

Please, take some serious action against user:AurangzebMarwat who is continuously removing citation needed tags from the article Mullazai. He is unable to provide reference and links for almost 90% of the article, which is created by him. I would be extremely obliged, if you could kindly, take some serious action against this user who is banned and now given the last warning for edit wars. Please 119.153.78.131 (talk) 17:25, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

I am really grateful to you for your quick action. I hope that the articl wouldn't be vandalise as per wishes of a user, rather edited according to wiki's policies. 119.153.78.131 (talk) 18:48, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

I am also a resident of Mullazai. I cannot tolerate further foul edits by AurangzebMarwat. Please, take good care of him. He once again edited, though I have reverted to article to your last edit. PakhtunZalmay (talk) 07:19, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

• AurangzebMarwat, I am not User:PakhtunZalmay, so don't post this to my talkpage.
• PakhtunZalmay, I am not an administrator, so I cannot and will not block the other user.
• I have requested full protection of the page for now, so nobody edits the article Mullazai until this dispute is resolved.
• The discussion should take place on Talk:Mullazai. Talk to each other there instead. I don't understand what's going on, exactly, but I will try to help. A little insignificant ^{Help, it's almost Halloween! AAH!} 16:34, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

State of GA review for Insect

I notice that Talk:Insect/GA3 has been inactive for the better part of a week. Are you and/or Bugboy planning to resume work on the article soon? I realize the review's been unusually long, but I think the article has improved significantly and is quite near GA quality. Given that, I don't plan on raising any additional concerns.

I consider the remaining work to consist of addressing the unstruck concerns listed on the review page. Note that these are mostly clustered in the lower half of the linked review page. There's also an unstruck concern about mini-paragraphs in the 'Comments from previous reviews' section, one unstruck concern in the 'Lead' section and an unstruck concern in the 'Respiration and circulation' section. Feel free to pass over the unstruck concerns in the 'Classification' section -- I'll finish work on these as time permits, and don't consider their fulfillment necessary to reach GA status.

Thank you very much for removing the vandalism from my user page. I don't usually look at that (and didn't have it watched at the time) so I completely missed. Thanks again dude. --ҚЯĀŽΨÇÉV 13 ^{other crap} 00:44, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Haha. Good way to think of it. Honestly, I'm not someone with an ego and I'm kind of a WikiGnome: I don't like getting credit. So I'm not 100% sure how the vandals found my page haha. That's why I'm a drummer. No spotlight. --ҚЯĀŽΨÇÉV 13 ^{other crap} 01:17, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Funny you should mention accidentally clicking my rollback button. I meant to click it on a certain page, and clicked it on another haha. I undid it, of course. Silly me. And are you Canadian? Because you added "eh" and only my Canadian friends/family do that. And indeed I am a drummer. --ҚЯĀŽΨÇÉV 13 ^{other crap} 01:27, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Bergur Snorrason

I'm confused on Bergur Snorrason, and I'm hoping you can enlighten me.

I came across your A7 speedy request on this one, but there's a claim of importance so it doesn't qualify for A7. A google search leads me to believe this is a hoax, so I changed your A7 to A3, but in looking at the history I see you already went the opposite direction.

I, Bugboy52.4, hereby award the greatest award for all insect-related article edits, contributions, or just helping me or a fellow editor A LOT. Reason: You endured a lot of these (like 3!!!) and one would have been enough, but not for you. So unlike your name, you do a lot more then you (or anybody else in the world for that matter) could do, and kept going and did more then me :P !! The GA PASSED!!! -- 02:20, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Cristobal Lander

Hello there.

You recently listed the article Cristobal Lander for PROD. To my knowledge, this article meets CSD A1 as well, and I have tagged the article. Since I am somewhat new here, is this "legal" to do? Or does it interfere with other stuff somewhere? Smithers (Talk) 16:39, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Special message

Hi there!

First

Well, first of all, since you completed the request for certain task that I placed (help in bringing the Insect article into GA status (which is now)). I deliver you the corresponding bounty:

		- The Bio-star (spec 2)
		Awarded to you for helping with all your contributions during the Insect GA upgrade. Having successfully earned the bounty that I placed for this task. Keep up the good work! - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 16:23, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Second

I already updated the academy with some other tips that I came across while I was semi-active (busy in real life)

Third

I hope you´re not mad at me or leave wikipedia forever since I wasnt paying much attention to you (JK..lol)

Fourth

I think the wikicup is somewhat long, and therefore I thought it was a good idea to propose a wikicontest which will be in shorter periods (like in the spanish wikipedia). I may create it, but what do you think about it? Current discussion is being held here

Fifth

You may be interested in archiving your talkpage (a little long)

Yes, I think that states it all. - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 16:23, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

You've been Invited!

You have been invited to join WikiProject Insects!! Join today and work with me and other members (project just made 22:44, 19 November 2009 (UTC)) in a collaboration on improving insect orders and creating pages of insect families. Things like insect-related awards, userboxes, topicons, ect. are also coming soon.

Your WikiBreak

AAAAAgggggghhhhhh!!!!

Don't burn out so fast! For a relatively new user, you are showing remarkable humor and understanding. This process takes some time to learn, and you seem to be picking it up quickly. For example, I thoroughly enjoyed your humorous comment on my talk page when I didn't find your secret page. Please come back, but take a step back from some of your recent stress-inducers. Empty your watchlist and edit somewhere else. But, the point I'm trying to make is COME BACK! We need people like you here. Acps110 (talk) 06:15, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

To be honest...I think he's still editing pretty actively, Lord Spongefrog, (Talk to me, or I'll eat your liver!) 09:50, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I haven't really kept to my wikibreak at all very well so far. :) Acps110, I was only thinking of taking a break over the weekend, so I'll be back on the 23rd. But I think you're right, I do need to take a step back from the CSD stuff. Do you have any suggestions for articles I could edit when I get back? A little insignificant ^{Giving thanks to all that is me} 13:53, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Whoo-hoo! Welcome back! ;-) I don't know what kind of articles to recommend to you. I only stumbled upon you by seeing your name on the User:SuggestBot/Requests page. I will issue you a challenge... It's yours if you choose to accept it. Take a look at this link, specifically the pie chart. [7] My challenge to you is to get your main namespace edits up to 40%, a five percent increase. A good way that I find to get sucked into editing the main space is to just read Wikipedia. I start finding things to fix, and it just cascades from there. See what you can find in the main space to improve/add to/spell check/etc. If you concentrate on main space editing, then some of your stress with the procedural stuff will lessen. Acps110 (talk) 14:30, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Up to 40%? I didn't... holy expletive, how did that happen?! I guess because of all the CSD and vandal righting = user talk warnings, but still... Wow, that's a huge problem. Now I'm going to feel bad whenever I make a user talk edit. In fact, I feel bad about this one. A little insignificant ^{Giving thanks to all that is me} 15:34, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

NO, NO! I could have asked you to raise it to 50%. A 5% increase is a manageable goal! ;-) FWIW, My main space percentages have been dropping somewhat lately because I have been adding template welcome messages to a lot of IP users. The user talk pages are there to be used. I'm just suggesting priorities for you to help you decrease your Wikistress. Come to think of it, have you seen this? Or Category:Wikipedia humor? (There are some great April Fool's Jokes in that category.) Might help. Acps110 (talk) 17:16, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

What was going on with WP:NEWT and you? I never really patrolled pages, and don't really understand WP:NEWT anyway. Bugboy52.4 | =-= 00:37, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Ah... it's complicated. About a month ago I started new page patrolling using Twinkle. The basic premise is that new articles are fed it through Special:Newpages, and the patrollers have to catch every single one of them. Using Special:Newpages, every article has to be either marked as patrolled (i.e. no big issues, it's good to go) or tagged for speedy deletion (i.e. vandal articles, advertising, etc.)

Every article has to be checked. And there are thousands of articles that are constantly coming in, all the time, every day. Check out Special:Newpages sometime, you'll see what I mean. It's hectic, and it's frantic, and its an incredibly stressful and busy job. On top of that, it's a thankless task- the only recognition you'll ever get for your work is a complaint from some company that doesn't want their article deleted. My point is, it has to happen, it requires a ton of people, and it's unhappy work.

This is what I was doing when WP:NEWT was founded. WP:NEWT was an attempt to see how new editors who made new articles were received at Special:Newpages, and if these newbies felt bitten by the patrollers there. So the participants in WP:NEWT created new accounts and wrote new articles to see if they would be tagged and deleted unthinkingly. And if they were, they would reveal their other account and talk to the patroller about being welcoming to newcomers.

It was nice and all, but the people who started WP:NEWT didn't expect some of the consequences. New page patrollers are stressed enough already, they didn't need the added worry that the next article they tagged may be "booby-trapped," as it were. And as more people joined WP:NEWT, it got out of hand. People would create articles full of ridiculous, unsourced nonsense, and use them to bait patrollers into tagging them, and then they would whip out their other account, "Ha! I'm actually a distinguished admin! You failed!!" A lot of NPPs ended up quitting when they were confronted. We need those people. As of now, there is a backlog of a month of unpatrolled pages that have slipped through. Over 10,000 articles to be taken care of.

Anyway, I ramble. My stress about WP:NEWT stems from my feeling that they became part of the problem, when they never thought to be part of the solution. I'm not focusing on new page patrolling anymore. Gimme some new Insect article to GA-ify. A little insignificant ^{Giving thanks to all that is me}

Wow, if you look at a chart of my edits, you would see that for two days it went up to 2,000... thats because I got a bot that allowed me to create large amounts of articles in minutes, and I didn't now that people had to tag them so... yea, I found out I had to go through a whole process of getting my acount taged, now I'm a autoreviewer. So I guess I have some experience their. And that sucks.. is it still backed up?

Anyway, sense I created a new wikiproject, you can check on the main page to see whats the recent article being improved on the top at WP:INS, oh, glad your back!!! Bugboy52.4 | =-= 03:10, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

I found out a neet way to change your status like mine in case you want one. Bugboy52.4 ¦ =-= 21:32, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

I have made THREE observations here <- I sound sooo smart xD

• Thanks, I've come up with other designs too for other people
• ...theirs a space on the left!!! Seriously... thats the first time I noticed that
• Nice, It looks better on the right

Now back top business...

1. Create User:A little insignificant/Status (leave this blank)
2. Create User:A little insignificant/monobox.js Create with:

importScript('User:TheDJ/qui.js');

1. Add "I am currently {{User:A little insignificant/Status}}" to your page... I can custimze it like mine.

Thank you so much!! Although the link you gave me reminds me of User:A little insignificant/monobook.js. Is that what I should go to? ALI ^{nom nom} 14:28, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Lol... i put "monobox.js," yea, it should be User:A little insignificant/monobook.js, once you add that script, you will see a dot (might be white)in the top right corner, click on that and a scrowl will come down with options (eg., online, offline, away, ect.) if the pages exist, an automated script will edit the pages. Bugboy52.4 ¦ =-= 20:40, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

You din't have to delete the other script, you can have multiple scripts.... you can slo have it disigned and stuff in case you want it more "colorful." Bugboy52.4 ¦ =-= 22:57, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
