User talk:Ktr101/Archive 3

I was surprised to read on AN/I that this case was endorsed. I was going to deny it with good cause, considering the archive discussing the last check and the fact that both users are long term contructive and good faith editors (and damn necessary to this project IMHO). Unfortunately I had life intervene before I could.

We lost a good editor out of this. Why in heaven's name did you endorse this? Did you read the archive? Auntie E. (talk) 04:11, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

I really don't know what to say to that than I really fucked up. I'm presently limited with internet for the next two days so I won't be that immediate in responses. As a result, I also haven't been abreast in AN/I drama. I really regret doing that though, and I between that and another issue, I really don't know what to do with myself after seeing those two major mistakes. I'm going to try to take a break from that sort of stuff for the next few days as I have finals to complete, but when I do return, I will proceed with a ton of caution. Also, would you mind commenting above as we both had a hand in that decision, with me being the executor?

A file that you uploaded or altered,

Hello Ktr101! please be aware of your edits about the template in 2010 Philippine general election. Because actually, the election is happening now here in my country. In addition, I reverted also your edits about adding the May 2010 in the templates. We don't need to put that because nothing ever changed. Thanks and goodluck! God bless :). Jpuligan_12 (talk) 03:19, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Your rationale is exactly why I am correct. It is a current event in the month of May, so this is completely justified. Look at other articles to see what I am talking about.

talk

) 03:25, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Oh! yes it is happening this month of May but we don't need to put that because it is clearly stated at the 2010 Philippine general election article that it will happened today. so what is the use of putting it? Jpuligan_12 (talk) 03:30, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Categorization purposes. That, and my obsessive compulsive want for keeping categories that can be small small compels me to take action. Check the "May" category and you will see that it has a parent category. Once June rolls around, we will have two subcategories for seven days as they will denote the month. I know it seems confusing, but it all makes sense eventually.

talk

) 03:33, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Yes we can categorized it but not in that way. We can easily categorized it by just opening the article. In Addition, the article title to have indicated there that 2010 year mean elections occur this year including the month and date. And please don't compare other articles because 2010 Philippine general election is different. Thank you :) Jpuligan_12 (talk) 03:53, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

No it isn't. Every article is categorized. The Phillipine articles aren't any different. If we treat it specially, then we would be contradicting alot of rules. What harm is there in keeping it there anyways? I don't see any harm in having a different category and maybe ten extra bytes. Don't worry about it.

It appears you have made a mistake, the suspected sockpuppet is

Ah, I see where the confusion is now. I posted new evidence to back that Stupidus Maximus is a sock of Guildenrich. Sulmues responded, trying to defend him, and I responded to Sulmues' response. There's no need for a new SPI. Both the old and the new evidence point to Stupidus being a sock of Guildenrich. Would you be so kind as to restore the previous SPI?

Whoops, thanks for the heads up.

I would rather we work to fix this one up as this setup is much better. The original one should have been archived and a new one set up, so I basically did just that.

Why should the original one be archived? There is nothing wrong with it. In fact, the way it is now, it is completely messed up, half the evidence is gone, and it looks like Sulmues is the accused party. Sorry, but I disagree.

FWIW, I agree with Athenean. The original report was never finally processed (i.e. as regards the behavioral evidence, beyond the mere CU data), and then people just continued adding more details to what remained the same case. The original behavioral evidence is still crucial. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:31, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. There's now also the new development that somebody found recent IPs that clearly belong to the sockmaster. A previous CU came out as inconclusive because the sockmaster account itself was stale, but with this additional data, a new CU checking the sock account against the known IPs might be worth it.

I really think you should reconsider your "keep" vote for having both the group state chapter page and indiv. pages. Even with only a brief section for each chapter, a group-page would quickly balloon beyond a reasonably sized single article. WP:Article size I understand that you, admittedly, are trying to resolve this b/f it turns into "mudslinging." It just seems absurdly redundant to have both indiv. and group pages. ... Please respond. MisterE2123Five5 (talk) 05:04, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

I've seen it done safely before. Personally, I'm willing to see if it will work before I make any judgements. Besides, in a compromise, each side has to give a bit for the greater good.

talk

I would like to know where you've seen this before. As for compromise, I didn't start this. User:Reywas92 came in and removed 10 or so pages, some (like North Carolina's chapter page, Ohio's chapter page, Florida's chapter page, the Texas chapter page, etc.) which have been written by multiple editors and edited over the past few years. I don't see how that is at all constructive or in good faith. MisterE2123Five5 (talk) 05:36, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

I don't really remember an exact example as I have edited over 12,000 pages by now. I'm just saying that Rey will likely come in and have a good reason for doing whatever he did. I don't support what he did, but he also might have a reason that is pretty darn good. I know that some editors will saunter by and advocate for deleting everything there, so if we can get the support of an editor, it will be helpful for the both of us. He didn't vandalize, in fact he was probably

Looking over things now, I have a good idea. How about we team up and fix up all of these articles, starting with the Ohio page as you seem to be very knowledgable in this subject. I'm actually highly impressed by how this page looks. In addition, if we go about creating maybe 20 articles apiece, we have covered almost all of the pages and we could get a better idea about how this proposal of mine for a directory page would look. It's just an idea, but why not try it.

Ireland almost never gets earthquakes, so that is a bit unique for them. I am not telling you what to do, only suggesting things that might make you a better editor. Still, two deaths is rather low for an earthquake anyways.

Hi, at the moment I've changed my css because of those suggestions expanding on the left. My search box works fine on the righ of the logo, it's just a bit slow. I'm studing the possibility to expand the suggestions on the right, but recent changes in MediaWiki, like r66854 or r66623, are difficult to understand for me (and I'm not the only one: [18], he he). Next month I'll probably ask a script at Wikipedia:WikiProject_User_scripts/Requests to do that. I hope they'll stop to change MediaWiki in the meanwhile. --Virgolette (talk) 14:18, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I've found a solution!

     #simpleSearch input#searchInput { width: 8.9em; }
     #panel { padding-top: 1.9em; }
     #simpleSearch {
       position: absolute;
       left: 0;
       top: 156px;
       margin-left: 5px;
       z-index: 99;
     }
 
     /* suggestions expanding to the right */
     div.suggestions {
       margin-left: 5px !important;
       right: auto !important;
     }

also, in your .js file there is an error: I don't have a nothingthree.js file. In my .js file I've added the script to hide the sidebar. Anyway, if you don't want to import the whole script, you should need only this at your .js

wgVectorEnabledModules.collapsibletabs = false;

function shortlinks() 
{
 document.getElementById('pt-mytalk').firstChild.innerHTML = 'Talk';
 document.getElementById('pt-preferences').firstChild.innerHTML = 'Preferences';
 document.getElementById('pt-watchlist').firstChild.innerHTML = 'Watchlist';
 document.getElementById('pt-mycontris').firstChild.innerHTML = 'Edits';
}
addOnloadHook(shortlinks);

so you can change the names of the links: 'Contribs' instead of 'Edits', etc. --Virgolette (talk) 14:57, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Ktr101,

Thank you for your help! I'm just a bit anxious. Aside from the obvious that Dar book is the oldest account, is there any advantage to the switch? For example, would they still compare IronBreww against one of the anons (or with Petersantos) or will they just check on Dar book compared to all the suspected socks? My aim is to check IronBreww against Dar book, Petersantos and all the anons. Will it still work that way despite the switch? – Shannon Rose ^Talk 21:56, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

You cite the essay

• Regarding recent edits made to the article Flash mob.
  • User:Snookerman adds a publicity stunt to the article that does not fit the criteria. Here
  • Same day, User:JMHurum adds a shortened version. Here
  • Also the same day, IP:90.201.211.65 re-adds the changes. Here

I'm not sure how to report that in any less words. The only reason I included a third paragraph was because I often find that admins come into situations with out knowing all the facts about the revert in the first place and wanted whomever to be fully apprised. Since I have removed that paragraph and another IP has since shown up re-adding the spam. Mkdw^talk 20:09, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

There is never any reason to close an AFD before the week has ended, unless the nomination is withdrawn and there is no one that says delete or the nominator was a sockpuppet or someone just being pointy. The article Lady will most certainly end in Keep, but there is no reason not to give everyone time to speak their mind, no matter how ridiculous their cases may be. On the other side of the coin, snow deletes never have any possible justification for being done at all. I've seen nominations start off with a dozen people spamming delete, only to have more rational minded people, who take at least a brief moment to click on the Google news search at the top of the AFD, state valid reasons to keep and add in references. Dream Focus 02:56, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Well when a user brought this up on IRC, we agreed unilaterally that it should be closed as a keep. Why should we prolong drama at an AFD when it would continue along the path towards a keep vote? There is no way that the AFD would've ended in delete unless fifty editors showed up and simultaneously voted the same way. When that happens on this site, it is called sockpuppetry and it would've been noticed. I stand by my decision to close it as I know that user planned to do the same but I beat him to it.

Commiserations, but I didn't see it as a dramafest. I thought that keeping the RfA open for as long as you did was admirable, but shrugging your shoulders and carrying on as before will only result in a fifth RfA failing too. I was happy to let you have the mop as I thought overall you'd do OK and we always need more keen admins, but others weren't so happy for what seem like valid reasons, and they mostly gave a lot of constructive criticism rather than the abuse or ideological wrangling RfA often sees. Overall the advice seems to be to be less hasty and more considered in your actions in admin-like areas, and to take care to adhere to policy and procedure. Tedious, but necessary if the community is going to trust you with the tools.

Fences, actually I should've referred to the dramafest as the votes left by three users who basically faulted me for closing an AFD during the run.

SPI redux

Thanks for agreeing that it's a duck. After a couple years, one doesn't really know how complex to make the case or what to include. I can tell you, I can immediately spot a Nyannrunning sock when it appears. Thanks again. Wildhartlivie (talk) 05:25, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Usually with that trait there isn't a need for a checkuser request as you would have likely spotted them as they appear as well.

Undo

Hi, although your edits are in good intention, please do not undo my edits to Nicolo Giraud. I am trying to help undo the damage to Wikipedia caused by an editor whose affect was undetected for 5 years because of the use of very subtle means of eluding the system. Thanks for your understanding.--Tonalone (talk) 15:30, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Uh no, stop destroying a featured article.

talk

) 15:31, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it is a featured article, but that doesn't mean it is impervious to error. If you have an understanding of the topic, in this case English literary history, specifically Byron, and also have come across the banned editor's work, primarily Haiduc, you will understand that this is another case of his damage gone awry and undetected. Please discuss with me before undoing it again. I am trying to comb through the work to see what is legit and what is not. This has been done with several of his other articles. The difference here is this is a featured article.--Tonalone (talk) 15:35, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Again, stop destroying the article. Bring it up with others before you halve a page that is featured. We will keep reverting you until you discuss this because it is clearly being disruptive.

talk

I try to fix a longstanding problem and you respond by calling me disruptive.

random comment

So I was looking through one of the government-endorsed biology textbooks in the bookstore, and it has a section on genetic modification. At the end, there's a pretty green box headed "Exercise". Inside, it says

Look up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_food and answer these questions, using your own diagrams and analogies where appropriate: <three pages of questions, a sizeable number about stuff that's not in the article anymore>.

I wasn't sure whether to laugh or to cry. Also, it affirms why I chose Music as my major, but that's not relevant. The music geeks I've met, for some reason, are so much more wiki-savvy- which is ironic. Maybe it's because of imslp.org, who knows? {{Sonia|ping|enlist}} 10:40, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Back in 2004, the Hanscom Air Force Base website had several publicly-available pages on the history of Hanscom AFB and the ESC. I believe these pages were maintained by the 66th Air Base Wing Library and History Office (this might not be its exact name). The website was redesigned in 2005 or 2006 and the pages are no longer available. I wish I could be more helpful.

Ktr101, just a quick question on your edits to the Stony Brook Field talk page, which I have no problem with whatsoever, just a question. The order in which you placed the projects makes perfect sense to me- sport specific project, then any sports related projects, and finally any geography related projects (in descending order of size of area covered by project). I had always used this order, but I saw someone a little while back using alphabetical order for projects, so I started doing that. Is there a WP policy on this issue that you know of? Or do you just order the projects by natural order of importance? Thanks, Kithira (talk) 20:26, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Not that I know of. I started doing the natural order thing a few years ago based on the project with the most relevance/biggest scope and narrowing it down from there to the project that is more localized. I guess you could do it any way you wanted to but I think I probably copied off what I saw on other pages when I started.

Cape Cod portal

Looking good, but I'd suggest a run through portal peer review first. There are various nitpicking points that occur to me on a lookthrough which, although largely cosmetic rather than structural, would slow down FPoC. If you get some good feedback at PoPR it "clears the decks" for FPoC. Ideally, you want a couple of "Support, all my issues were addressed at peer review" comments to encourage others... Up to you, though. If you go to peer review, let me know in case I overlook it, and I'd suggest asking

Hi there -- Bencherlite dropped me a note about the portal -- let me know (preferably via my talk page, as I don't always check my watchlist regularly) if you'd like me to review it, either as part of a formal portal peer review or informally. Espresso Addict (talk) 23:46, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Account creation

Hi, i'm interested in becoming an account creator and have some questions about it. First i'll tell you about my stats on wikipedia. Im registered from 2007, have over 2,600 edits, never blocked, and am a reviewer and rollbacker. OK, now the question's

1. Am I qualified enough to become an account creator.
2. Is the account creator interface a program that you download
3. How do I get the user right.

Thanks for your time and don't bother leaving a talkback on my page as I am watching this page. Mr.Kennedy1 ^talk 12:10, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Triona2

I'm not trying to be a dick here but I think I know what the criteria are. I wrote that particular criteria because it's not one of the general ones and it shows up as being an RFA when in reality it isn't. I'll even go through and remove all links to it now to make it easier to delete.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Abigail Adams House, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.library.umass.edu/spcoll/youmass/doku.php?id=buildings:a:adams.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

I know, I am on it. I'm working with the school's archives and we're importing pages from their Wiki so this will take some time to sort out. I actually am planning on going to the library tomorrow to sort this out so stay tuned for more updates and sorry for screwing up.

WP:SCV

Please don't remove articles which are listed here. If they are checked and some action is taken they can be marked with some version of {{SCV}}, but it helps if they stay on the list as a record in case, for example, articles are recreated later with enough changes to fool a bot but which still may be a copyright violation.

Hi Ktr101

I am going to remove the {{recent death}} template from the above-captioned article again. The guideline in the template documentation suggests a threshold of 100 unique editors in any 24-hour period. This article is unlikely to have even a fraction of that--in the nearly three days since the first edit reporting the death of the subject, there have been only 59 edits in total (60 with my next) from just 20 unique editors—clearly this is not edit frequency coming close to even a reasonable handicap of the intended threshold.

Regards, ^Bongo_matic 03:37, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Heh, if I take that literally, the template will never be used. You're right though so I won't contest it further.

talk

) 06:15, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Actually, it would be used for articles like Michael Jackson, etc. But I don't take it literally (Imran Farooq gives an idea of my approach to watching edit frequencies). ^Bongo_matic 07:19, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

reminder

Hello, I have completed a general cleanup of the adopter information page for the adopt-a-user project, located

here

. During my cleanup, I have removed several inactive and retired users. In order to provide interested adoptees with an easy location to find adopters, it is essential that the page be up-to-date with the latest information possible. Thus:

• If you are no longer interested in being an adopter, please remove yourself from the list.
• If you are still interested, please check the list to see if any information needs to be updated or added - especially your availability. Thank you.

• You are receiving this message because you are listed as an adopter

Thank you

Thank you for removing the discussion with the vandal from my talk page. I reverted your edits thinking it was the vandal. I'm sorry, I have since reverted myself :) . I usually like to preserve discussions on my talk page. But in this case, I ask your advice. Should I remove the discussion? And if I should, why?. Thank you. --VandTrack (talk) 05:56, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Anytime. It depends really upon if you want a disruptive editor on your page. Personally a comment like that could go either way but there are others which really shouldn't be preserved. I guess if you like to keep everything, keeping it won't harm anyone.

I was about to comment the same thing. You beat me to it :). I will revert this ones, thank you both for the advice. On another topic, I noticed this user since he created his user page. In his first edit, I reverted giving a Welcome using Friendly, as I normally do, then in his second edit I reverted and gave a level 1 notice. My question for you is, was I too lenient knowing this was going to be disruptive editor? Again, thank you for your time and advice --VandTrack (talk) 06:10, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Not at all. Sometimes we just go for the level 4 header and then request a block. Sometimes it depends on if you're feeling lenient or just sick of vandals. Hopefully you're neither of the two and know how to appropriately warn. I tend to give level one and two when it's minor and three and four when it's a big vandal attack.
