User talk:Casliber/Archive 43
Welcome to the 2014 WikiCup!
Hello Casliber, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition will begin at midnight tonight (UTC). There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck!

Deleted user
Re: User talk:Vanished user 19794758563875. I came across this administrator's account which has been deleted, presumably by the administrator moving their account to a different user name and deleting their own account. The user has a long contribution history. Surely, everyone should still be able to see the user's talk page including the archives and full edit history especially as the editor was an administrator. I think that administrator rights have been removed from this editor, but I am not certain. The edit summary of this file-move edit and many more show that the user was called User:KimvdLinde (User talk:KimvdLinde). Presumably, the user page and talk page should be moved back to the old name and restored. I came across a similar situation a few years ago when an administrator retired from the Wiki and deleted his account and subsequently his user page and user talk page were restored. I am not sure where to ask about this new case. Any suggestions? Snowman (talk) 15:13, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- I have also asked User Anthony Appleyard, because it might need an edit history merge. Snowman (talk) 17:22, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- Difficult situation - she is very knowledgeable about parrots and taxonomy/cladistics in general so ultimately I would be hoping that anything we can do to encourage her to come back is a good thing and anything that discourages her is a bad thing. I am not sure how she would feel about history merges. Right now the top priority would be maybe to encourage her by improving another parrot article, maybe parrot. I am friends with her elsewhere so can get in contact easily - I will ask her if she feels the taxonomy of parrots are settled enough to make it worthwhile working on the article for GA/FA status. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 22:22, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- That may be true, but it does not help with the issue of returning her moved and deleted user pages, which are important for the Wiki, even now that she has retired from editing. I think that this is especially important because she was an administrator and I think that the discussions that she had in her role as an administrator should be returned with the rest of her archives. I read somewhere that user accounts are not deleted. I would like to find out more about this situation. Snowman (talk) 23:00, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

- Of the pages that you mention:
- Talk:Animal models of depression has 3 edits, all with one discussion section "Why an orphan?", and no deleted edits.
- User talk:Vanished user 19794758563875 has one edit, and no deleted edits.
- User talk:KimvdLinde has 2 edits (16:04, 9 December 2013 and 22:09, 27 October 2013 by User:EdwardsBot, both less than 3000 bytes), and 38 deleted edits from 14:29, 29 February 2012 to 14:29, 29 February 2012 (size gradually increasing from 43 bytes to 15,119 bytes).
- Do you want me to undelete User talk:KimvdLinde? And then move it to User talk:Vanished user 19794758563875? With or without the two edits by User:EdwardsBot? Or what?
- Page User talk:KimvdLinde's page log lists these moves:-
- 15:48, 7 March 2013 Vanished user 19794758563875 deleted page User talk:KimvdLinde (RTV) (view/restore)
- 14:29, 29 February 2012 Vanished user 19794758563875 moved page User talk:KimvdLinde to User talk:KimvdLinde/Archive8 (Archiving last crap)
- 01:27, 11 January 2012 Vanished user 19794758563875 moved page User talk:KimvdLinde to User talk:KimvdLinde/Archive7 (Archiving)
- 01:37, 18 November 2011 Vanished user 19794758563875 moved page User talk:KimvdLinde to User talk:KimvdLinde/WPEditor (Long enough for the silliness)
- User talk:KimvdLinde/Archive8 has 0 visible edits and 18 deleted edit.
- User talk:KimvdLinde/Archive7 has 0 visible edits and 1161 deleted edits.
- User talk:KimvdLinde/WPEditor has 0 visible edits and 1 deleted edit.
- The "see deleted edits" feature for those three User talk:KimvdLinde/..... pages say in red type "User account "KimvdLinde" is not registered. If you wish to use "KimvdLinde" as your username, please make a request at Wikipedia:Changing username". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:30, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- I think that the edits by User:EdwardsBot are not highly significant, but I think that they probably should be included for completion, and this was the history merge on User KimvLinde's talk page to the older edits that I mentioned. I linked "Talk:Animal models of depression" only because it showed in the edit summary that the actual editor was User KimvdLinde and I have not looked into the history of that article. I can not see the deleted files, but User KimvdLinde should have the talk page and talk page archives of a moderately busy editor somewhere. I would certainly request that User KimvdLinde Talk page and talk page archives are returned to their appropriate positions. It would be useful to see the User page also; however, if there are different guidelines on this for the user page and talk page, please let me know. I am not sure what has happened. Has her account been moved to "User talk:Vanished user 19794758563875I"? Where is User KimvdLinde's contribution history? I think that the vanished users contribution history needs moving back to KimvdLinde's account. I was not aware that User Casliber knows User KimvdLinde until I read the reply above. I suspect that it may be better if User Casliber did not deal with this.
- I have undeleted the 3 "User talk:KimvdLinde/..." pages listed above, and the deleted edits of User talk:KimvdLinde, so that people can see them. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:32, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
- Page User:Vanished user 19794758563875 has never existed. Page User talk:Vanished user 19794758563875 has one visible edit and no deleted edits and its log is blank. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:57, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
- If you click "User contributions" in the list of Tools on the left side of the screen when on the users talk page then you seed a long list of edits for the vanished user Special:Contributions/Vanished_user_19794758563875. Some of the edit histories for this list are clearly by user KimvdLinde, because it lists her name with file moves. She might of only done a few edits with that account, but I think that she moved her entire contribution history from KimvdLinde to the vanished user account. In contrast User KimvdLinde has no edits; see Special:Contributions/KimvdLinde, but she was a moderately busy user. The edits on a users talk page is a different list to the users contribution history. Do you see the problem? Snowman (talk) 14:09, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
- Page Red-breasted parakeet's edit history includes an edit
- 13:23, 6 March 2013 Vanished user 19794758563875 . . (KimvdLinde moved page Red-breasted parakeet to Red-breasted Parakeet over redirect: Per WP:BIRD naming and consistency with 10,000 plus bird articles.)
- It seems that one of:-
- She edited under the username "Vanished user 19794758563875" and edited the edit comment to change the username in it.
- If there is a way to change a user's username, that also changes occurrences of that username in edit comments.
- There seems to be no such registered user as User:KimvdLinde, but was there ever such a user? Special:Contributions/KimvdLinde lists nothing.
- Do you want me to move all User:KimvdLinde/--- pages to User:Vanished_user_19794758563875/---- ? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:03, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
- Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:03, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
- There was a user called KimvdLinde and she was an administrator, so perhaps you can trace her from old lists of administrators. You can see some of her signed edits on many archived talk pages including this one Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Birds/Archive 43, with a simple search for "Kim" on the page. Back then she singed as "[[User:KimvdLinde|Kim van der Linde]] <sup>[[User talk:KimvdLinde|at venus]]</sup>" (note the piped link to User:KimvdLinde). I think that she moved her entire contribution history to the vanished user's account, so it all needs moving back to User:KimvdLinde's account. If you can trace when exactly the contribution history was moved, then it might be reasonable to leave a few recent contributions with the vanished users account, because they were made with that account. My assumption is that the vanished user's account is a second account belonging to User KimvdLinde, and if this is correct then the vanished user's account can be marked as a sock-puppet account or equivalent. I guess that a few of the most recent edits were done with the vanished user's account, but I am not certain. At one time, her user page at "User KimvdLinde" resembled a Wiki article and had an infobox as well. The infobox showed a picture of a woman holding something that looked like a sword. I recall informing her on her user talk page that having a User page that resembled a Wiki article was against the Wiki guidelines. Snowman (talk) 17:53, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
- There is more in this diff, where is appears that the vanished user appears to have signed as User KimvdLinde. There are also edit summaries which show this, so I think that I have conclusively proven that the contribution history that belonged to the account at User KimvdLinde was moved to the vanished user's account. Snowman (talk) 18:22, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
- A user's username can be changed: see Wikipedia:Changing username, but it needs Wikipedia:Bureaucrats status to do it. It could be that user KimvdLinde was renamed to Vanished_user_19794758563875 while remaining the same user, and if so, KimvdLinde's talk page and its subpages should be moved to Vanished_user_19794758563875 . Likely, if user X edits page Y, the resulting edit record in Y's edit history says that X did the edit, by a pointer pointing to X's entry in a list of users; and likely in some other places where it is recorded who did what. After user X is renamed as Z, any attempt to list page Y's edit history would show Z and not X as having made the edit in question. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:52, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
- The first section in this edit of User talk:KimvdLinde dated 16:47, 2 April 2012 (UTC) says that KimvdLinde retired from Wikipedia, and after that presumably her username was changed to a "Vanished user ..." name. It could be that, as she left Wikipedia by retiring and not by being barred, so her user and user talk pages were left where they were instead of being renamed with her new "Vanished user ..." username, and should be left where they are. Best ask a Bureaucrat here about what to do. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:47, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
- Acting on advice in Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard#A query about a "vanished user" I have moved KimvdLinde's talk page (and its archives) to Vanished user 19794758563875, where I have re-deleted then, as it was KimvdLinde's wish for her talk page to be deleted and for her "right to vanish" when she retired.

Re: report about the Stub Contest
Re: Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2014-01-29/WikiProject_report. I expect that you have already seen this report in the Signpost. I read it with interest. I would think that some of the comments in the "Quality or quantity?" section needs a serious response. As the organiser of the contest were you asked to contribute to the report? I personally am not aware of re-rating anything that did not need re-rating. Do you think that this report has a tenancy to belittle the Stub contest, including the judges and the competitors? What about publishing the judges view of the Stub contest in "Signpost" and explain the judging and what benefits the contest brought to the Wiki including the benefits of re-rating articles? I personally did not find the contest stressful and enjoyed finding novel ways of getting the tasks done more quickly. I think that the judges could have been more decisive about applying some of the basic rules when it came to doing the scoring after the end of the competition, and that I think that the judges could have had more of a presences when the competitors were discussing the scores amongst themselves, perhaps by actively asking for a consensus about the grey areas of the scoring. I now have some scripts (or tools) that I developed for the competition that I can develop further and put to a variety of uses. This is only a brief summary of my impression of the contest, so please let my know if you are puzzled by anything. Snowman (talk) 12:32, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- I had not seen that report before you alerted me to it (thankyou for doing that!). I do not think the article in and of itself is critical, and I was aware of Sven Manguard's criticism of how the stub contest evolved beforehand. I agree with the points you've made about rerating. Think that well over 99.9% of the rerating was perfectly valid and that it was/is helpful to define the scope of wikipedia article quality if we can review and rerate that many articles. I will reply there and at the Stub contest page soon. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:51, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- If I was writing about the Contest, I would have asked all the judges and at least one person that won a prize for their views, and attempted to write a balanced report. For me, the Contest prompted me to stumble upon and develop some "black-box" techniques that I almost certainly would not have discovered or been motivated to develop if it was not for the contest. The script that I wrote for writing the IUCN citations on bird species articles is about 10 times more complicated than anything I wrote for the Contest, but the contest opened up a new horizon. In partial explanation, I sometimes seem to write riddles about black-box scripts, probably because most people would not easily understand regexes, hash arrays, and so on. If you plan to quote any of my views about the contest, please let me see a preview, so that I can ensure that there have not been any misunderstandings. Snowman (talk) 13:36, 11 February 2014 (UTC)]

- Actually, I am not a fan of probably the most well known contest, the WikiCup, partly because I have noticed that some of the most highly praised and top-scoring GA articles last year explained some technical issues very poorly with multiple mistakes, which could have been ironed out by a proper peer review or by inquiries at relevant WikiProjects prior to GA rather then been found too late at FA. As a courtesy, I also think that the WikiCup should recognise some of the other people involved in creating GAs and FAs and not just the contestants in the WikiCup; however, most editors and reviewers are probably only motivated by contributing to the creation of decent articles or the organisation of the Wiki. I have made relevant comments on the WikiCup talk page. Having said that, I have a fascination for the WikiCup and tend to follow it. Snowman (talk) 14:04, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

AG Pegasi
Certainly a unique object. You definitely need to search out the most recent papers on this, because it no longer shows a WR spectrum and understanding of the system has improved dramatically in the last 20 years. It is now considered an extreme symbiotic system, aka slow nova. The WR phase is an expected spectral appearance for shrinking and heating degenerate objects, quite common in planetary nebula central stars. The AG Pegasi hot component is now treated as a white dwarf although an extremely hot one at this point, and the spectrum has gone beyond WR into hot sub-dwarf stage. The WR appearance (copious high ionisation emission) was due in large part to the expanding shock fronts rather than the star itself, although the distinction between an intense hot wind and an expanding nebular shock is a fine one. The Wolf Rayet page probably should say more about planetary nebulae central stars (there may be more of them than the big flashy WR stars), but I don't know a lot about them.

- Happy to help out - I've hardly edited it (weekend was a disaster time-wise) so will not claim points. Was going to browse some obsolete constellations....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:27, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
FA congratulations once more
Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of
Sorry
Apologies. I have no idea how that happened. I was reading Wikipedia on the ipad at about that time (which I rarely do) so can only guess I pressed something inadvertently. Quite bizarre. Moondyne (talk) 13:19, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- I figured something like that must have happened as I've done it myself on my smartphone several times now :) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 18:48, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
Main Page appearance: Alloxylon flammeum
This is a note to let the main editors of
Alloxylon flammeum, commonly known as the Queensland tree waratah or red silky oak, is a medium-sized tree of the family Proteaceae found in the Queensland tropical rain forests. It has shiny green elliptical leaves up to 18 cm (7.2 in) long, and prominent orange-red inflorescences that appear from August to October, followed by rectangular woody seed pods that ripen in February and March. Juvenile plants have large (up to 25 cm (10 in) long) deeply lobed pinnate leaves. Previously known as Oreocallis wickhamii, the initial specimen turned out to be a different species to the one cultivated and hence a new scientific name was required. Described formally in 1991, A. flammeum was designated the type species of the genus Alloxylon. Alloxylon flammeum is a canopy or emergent tree of the Mabi rainforest community of north Queensland. It is readily adaptable to cultivation, and prefers a site with good drainage. The tree's terminal tubular flowers indicate that the species is pollinated by birds. It is listed nationally as vulnerable under the Australian Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 as most of its habitat has been cleared for agriculture and logging.

Tiger
I was thinking of bringing Tiger to GA. It seems to be in good shape, it just needs some fixing up and maybe an little more info. What do you think? I have no intention of doing it as an FAC. LittleJerry (talk) 03:58, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- I have thought about it before but find it too depressing really. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:00, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- Well, we can find someone else to fix up that part. Would you be able to leave suggestions on the talk page? LittleJerry (talk)
Howdy!
Howdy, Cas. Great to see you commenting on my problem group of OB/GYN related psychiatric articles. Thanks for taking a look. The topics are interesting to me and I would like to see them stay in some form, but they need to approached differently than the way they were written if they are going to stay as stand alone articles. I did a major trim of case studies and casual discussion that I found in them. Do you have time or interest in working on any of them? Sydney Poore/FloNight♥♥♥♥ 13:07, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Review requestHey, Casliber. Sorry to trouble you, but I'm having a tough time getting reviews lately, especially at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Are You Experienced/archive1. If you are at all inclined, perhaps you would consider taking a look. Cheers! GabeMc (talk|contribs) 17:08, 14 March 2014 (UTC) DYK for QZ Carinae
