A '''stop sign''' is a [[traffic sign]], usually erected at [[road junction]]s, that instructs drivers to stop and then to proceed only if the way ahead is clear. |
|||
--> |
|||
==Specifications== |
|||
{{administrator}} |
|||
Standard stop signs have a specified size of 75 cm (30 in) across opposite flats of the red octagonal field, with a 20 mm (¾ in) white border. The white uppercase letters forming the "STOP" legend are 25 cm (10 in) tall.<ref name="SHS_Metric">{{PDFlink|[http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/SHSm/regulatory.pdf|Standard Highway Signs manual, 2004 Metric edition]}}</ref> <ref name="SHS_English">{{PDFlink|[http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/SHSe/Regulatory.pdf|Standard Highway Signs manual, 2004 English edition]}}</ref>. Larger signs of 90 cm (36 in) with 30 cm (12 in) legend and 25 mm (⅞ in) border are used on multilane expressways. Regulatory provisions exist for extra-large 120 cm (48 in) signs with 40 cm (16 in) legend and 30 mm (1¼ in) border for use where sign visibility or reaction distance are limited, and the smallest permissible stop sign size for general usage is 60 cm (24 in) with a 20 cm (8 in) legend and 15 mm (⅝ in) border.<ref name="MUTCD03_2B">[http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/HTM/2003r1/part2/part2b1.htm#section2B04 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices 2003, Section 2B]</ref>. The [[SI|metric]] units specified in the US regulatory manuals are [[Rounding|rounded approximations]] of [[United States customary units|English]] units, not exact conversions.<ref name="SHS_Metric"/><ref name="SHS_English"/> Field, legend, and border are all [[Retroreflector|retroreflective]]. |

The stop sign is specified with the English legend "STOP" in the [[UN]] [[Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals| Convention on Road Signs and Signals]]. It is one of few such signs also used in the [[United States]]. This is because the sign's distinctive design was developed and first used in the US, and later adopted by other countries and the UN. |

==Augmentation== |
|||
{{archive box| |
|||
In the US, South Africa and Canada, stop signs may be [[all-way stop|augmented]] with additional information by means of a '''supplementary plaque''' bearing a legend such as "ALL WAY" or "4 WAY", mounted immediately below the bottom edge of the octagonal stop sign.<ref name="MUTCD03_2B"/> In the past{{Vague|date=May 2008}}, this kind of supplemental information was presented by white legend text on the stop sign itself, above and smaller than the primary "STOP" legend, but such an arrangement is no longer permitted.<ref name="MUTCD03_2B"/> This supplemental information is to allow drivers to discern three- or four-way stops from a two-way stop at which cross traffic is not required to stop. If there is only a stop sign with no supplemental plate, the assumption has to be that cross traffic will ''not'' stop. Supplemental plates are provided on the principle that if they are missing because of disrepair or vandalism, the message presented by the sign will indicate a situation more potentially hazardous than it actually is, rather than less. |

Stop signs can also be augmented with flashing red lights mounted directly above the intersection. Such an arrangement is usually only found at four-way stop intersections, with flashing red lights facing all four directions, or at intersections with a high number of accidents. |
|||
==Placement & standardization== |
|||
Stop signs are found all over the world. In Europe they tend to be used far more sparingly than in North America{{Fact|date=May 2008}}. Most European intersections lacking traffic lights are controlled by [[yield sign|give way sign]]s or equivalent road markings, or are replaced by (mini) [[roundabouts]]. Stop signs are generally restricted (on the principle that familiarity breeds contempt{{Fact|date=May 2008}}) to situations wherein coming to a dead stop is absolutely essential because of poor visibility. |
|||

|||
===North America=== |
|||
Stop signs are often used in North America to control conflicting traffic movements at dangerous intersections which are not busy enough to justify the installation of either [[traffic light]]s or, especially in Europe, a [[roundabout]]{{Fact|date=May 2008}}. In the United States, the stop sign is not intended for use as a [[traffic calming]] device.<ref name="MUTCD03_2B"/>; they are meant to be installed mainly for safety and/or to assign right-of-way for a certain direction. Nevertheless, in the [[United States]] and [[Canada]], they are commonly used as a safety measure in residential areas and near places where children play or frequent accidents make extra precautions necessary, and it is not uncommon for stop signs to be erected on all three or four intersecting roads, known as [[all-way stop|three]] or [[all-way stop|four-way stops]].<ref name="MUTCD03_2B"/> |
|||
[[Image:Thomas School Bus Bus.jpg|thumb|left|An American school bus displaying its folding stop signs; note the one towards the rear]] |
|||
====On school buses==== |
|||
A standard stop sign equipped with one round red light above and one below the "STOP" legend is required equipment on [[School_bus#Warning_lights_and_safety_devices|North American school buses]]. The sign is placed on the left side of the bus, and the lights blink alternately to warn drivers against illegally passing the bus while it is stopped to admit or discharge passengers. When not in use, the sign folds flat against the side of the bus. Some buses have two such signs, one near the front and one near the rear. |
|||
===United Kingdom=== |
|||
Within the United Kingdom, stop signs may be erected only at sites approved in writing by the Secretary of State, and Highway Authorities wishing to erect a Stop sign should make an application via the Director (Transport){{Fact|date=May 2008}}. Current UK technical guidance states that before an application for the approval of a stop sign is made, the possibility of making a visibility improvement at the junction should always be investigated{{Fact|date=May 2008}}. If improvements are not considered possible, the Highway Authority should give information and explain the reasons why an improvement cannot be provided when making its application{{Fact|date=May 2008}}. Restriction of visibility by a wall or hedge which can be reduced in height or removed will not normally justify a stop sign{{Fact|date=May 2008}}. |
|||
Section 79 of the Highways Act 1980 grants powers to Highway Authorities enabling them to improve visibility at junctions{{Fact|date=May 2008}}. |
|||
--> |
|||
==Compliance requirements== |
|||
Laws and regulations regarding how drivers must comply with a stop sign vary by jurisdiction. In the United States and Canada, these rules are set and enforced at the state or provincial level{{Fact|date=May 2008}}. At a junction where two or more traffic directions are controlled by stop signs, generally the driver who arrives and stops first continues first. If two drivers in different directions stop simultaneously at a junction controlled by stop signs, generally the driver on the left has to yield. |
|||
== Your block of [[User:Vrraybadboy76]] == |
|||
In all countries, the driver must come to a complete stop at a stop sign, even if no other vehicle or pedestrian is visible. However, some drivers{{Who|date=May 2008}} practice an illegal maneuver called a rolling stop or nicknamed after a city or region regarded as somewhere it is commonplace (e.g. "California stop") - slowing down significantly but not stopping completely at the sign.<ref>[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/rolling%20stop?r=14 Dictionary.com definition]</ref> The maneuver often involves pausing the car just long enough to stop moving forward, but not long enough for the body of the car to rock back completely, which would make it a full stop. {{Fact|date=May 2008}} This "stop" is not acceptable to most law enforcement officials. |
|||
Nicely done - you may want to also look at [[User:72.135.25.233]] and [[User:Vrraybadboy78]]. Similar "styles" of vandalism, and all three of them vandalized the [[WGN]] disambiguation page with the same content. [[User:Mlaffs|Mlaffs]] ([[User talk:Mlaffs|talk]]) 16:49, 7 October 2008 (UTC) |
|||
==Vandalism & modification== |
|||
The intentional removal of stop signs began in the 1980s as a [[college]] prank{{Fact|date=May 2008}} and, today, one may find illegally obtained stop signs hanging in the occasional college [[dorm]] room. The intentional removal of stop signs from their posted locations is a crime in the [[United States|U.S.]] Moreover, a fatal accident caused by someone removing a stop sign on purpose could result in [[manslaughter]] charges against the offender.<ref>''[http://www.usroads.com/journals/rilj/0110/ri011001.htm Thomas Miller v. State of Florida]'', Second District Court of Appeal of [[Florida]], [[2001-02-28]]. Accessed [[2008-10-03]].</ref> |
|||
Stop signs are often vandalized in protest-related ways{{Fact|date=May 2008}}. For example, vegetarian and anti-car activists sometimes affix "eating meat" or "driving" decals below a stop sign's legend, creating a "STOP eating meat" or "STOP driving" message. During the [[George W. Bush|Bush presidency]] era, the words "War" and "Bush" have been spray-painted on stop signs, thus presenting "Stop Bush" or "Stop War"{{Fact|date=May 2008}}. |

[[Image:Yellow stop sign.jpg|framed|Yellow 1924-1954 stop sign. Mounting height is typical.]] Stop signs originated in [[Michigan]] in 1915{{Fact|date=May 2008}}. The first ones had black letters on a white background and were somewhat smaller{{Vague|date=May 2008}} than the current sign. As stop signs became more widespread, a committee supported by the [[American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials|American Association of State Highway Officials]] (AASHO) met in 1922 to standardize them, and selected the octagonal shape that has been used in the United States ever since. The unique eight-sided shape of the sign allows drivers facing the back of the sign to identify that oncoming drivers have a stop sign and prevent confusion with other traffic signs. It was also chosen so that it could be identified easily at night, since the original signs were not reflective. The National Conference on Street and Highway Safety (NCSHS), a group competing with AASHTO, advocated a smaller red-on-yellow stop sign{{Fact|date=May 2008}}. These two organizations eventually merged to form the Joint Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, which in 1935 published the first '''[[Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices]]''' for Streets and Highways (MUTCD) detailing the stop sign's specifications. |
|||
Ta for that. Very quick - beat me to it by miles... [[User:Peridon|Peridon]] ([[User talk:Peridon|talk]]) 18:17, 7 October 2008 (UTC) |
|||
The '''MUTCD stop sign''' specifications were altered eight times between 1935 and 1971, mostly dealing with its reflectorization and its mounting height. From 1924 to 1954, stop signs were made with a black "STOP legend on a yellow field. In 1954, the sign gained its current white legend/red field color configuration. Red signifies ''stop'' on [[traffic signals]], so this specification unified red as a ''stop'' signal whether indicated by sign or by light. The mounting height reached its current level of {{convert|7|ft|m|2|sp=us|abbr=on}} in 1971{{Fact|date=May 2008}}; previously, stop signs were typically mounted two or three feet{{Vague|date=May 2008}} above the ground{{Fact|date=May 2008}}. |
|||
== Nice block ;) == |
|||
The already-widespread use of the MUTCD stop sign became law in the [[United States]] in 1966{{Fact|date=May 2008}}. In 1968 this sign was adopted by the [[Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals]] as part of [[United Nations Economic Commission for Europe]]'s effort to standardize road travel across borders. The Convention specifies that 'stop' be written in [[English language|English]] or the national language and allows an alternative circular yellow sign. Many European countries are party to the Convention. English speaking countries, the exception being [[India]], are not party to the Convention but usually use the red octagonal stop sign per their own standards, like the MUTCD. Even in countries not associated with either standard mentioned above the red octagonal stop sign is often used. Unique types of stop signs may be still be observed in countries like [[Japan]]. |

Although all English-speaking and European countries use the English legend "STOP" on stop signs, some jurisdictions use a roughly equivalent word in their primary language instead or in addition; its white legend/red field appearance is otherwise the same. The few known exceptions include Israel, where a solid white octagon on a red octagonal field is used, Japan which uses the local word for ''Stop'' in white type on an inverted solid red triangle, and Zimbabwe which uses a disc bearing a black cross and the word ''STOP''. In [[Russia]], [[Ukraine]] and also some other countries with a Cyrillic alphabet, the legend sometimes still is in [[Cyrillic]]: "СТОП", sometimes accompanied by "STOP" in Latin alphabet. |

Hi - I wanted to ask you about [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%C5%A0ar_Mountains&action=history this article], where an anonymous IP editor is constantly reverting to assert that Kosovo is part of Serbia. Now in my judgment this is a content dispute which is not really vandalism, and I do not wish to partake in a revert war. But I reverted an edit he made which had an edit summary carrying a threat. Question: can his edits, owing to his edit summary/attitude, be construed as vandalism? Did I do properly to revert with Huggle, or should I leave such edits alone?

== Questions about Huggle == |
|||
Hi. I'm a newbie editor with intentions of becoming a functional recent changes patroller. While I was checking out the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes page]], I noticed you revert '''a lot''' of vandalism (kudos to you on that mate), but not just that –you are '''unbelievably''' fast. I definitely don't think I'm the fastest around here, but I'm definitely not slow either, yet when I get to the page, I ''always'' find you've already reverted it! I might not sleep at night if I have to assume this is the result of human training; I mean, can you really be that fast without the aid of ''something''? |
|||
So, I read you use Huggle. I'd like to try it out, but a couple of things confuse me. Maybe you could clarify them for me, since you say you can help with the vandalism tools? Pretty please with sugar on top? :) |
|||
The questions would be: |
|||
* Is Huggle even functoinal anymore? On [[Wikipedia:Huggle/Download|its page]] (I assume) it says '''MEDIAWIKI CHANGES/BUGS HAVE BROKEN HUGGLE. USE SOMETHING ELSE. THANKS.''' So... yeah. Kind of confused here. If it is unstable (or something), how long has it been this way? And do you think it might work properly again? (If it's broken in some way in the first place, of course) |
|||
* Is Huggle the reason you edit at the speed of light? Or do you just possess inhuman, godlike speed? I might just worship you if you do :D Or at least give you some sort of barnstar. |
|||
* Do I absolutely ''need'' rollback rights to use it? Or can I just do less things with it without having rollback rights? I want to know if I can fight vandalism better without having to apply for a privilege I don't fully understand and probably wouldn't get in a million years. |
|||
Any help on any/all of these questions is greatly appreciated. --[[User:QuadrivialMind|QuadrivialMind]] ([[User talk:QuadrivialMind|talk]]) 03:45, 8 October 2008 (UTC) |

:According to our article about it, ''About.com is an online source for original information and advice [...] The site’s content is dynamic, attempting to keep up with new information and changing consumer interests.''".

Hi J, delanoy- I noticed you semi-protected [[Bill Ayers]] due to excessive vandalism. I had been working on the article and reverting vandalism, BLP violations and unsourced POV. The problem edits are mainly coming from registered users and the minimal vandalism is removed from this article by editors faster then a bot. |

I have also been working on other election related articles that are now semi-protected and I can no longer edit without creating an account.

I am reluctant to unprotect the Ayers page, since it seems extremely likely that it will receive a high amount of vandalism. Would you be willing to wait the four days?

Is there anyway you can stop stalking the Obama Bio page? You're so trigger happy, you even accidentally revert people commenting on the talk page! Just breathe...and relax. [[Special:Contributions/68.143.88.2|68.143.88.2]] ([[User talk:68.143.88.2|talk]]) 21:38, 8 October 2008 (UTC) |

:JD isn't "stalking" the page; he has it on his watchlist and actively patrols for vandalism. This is a valuable task and the fact that he reverted a non-vandalistic edit - and immediately reverted himself - is not grounds for a call for him to cease-and-desist. Also, I'm pretty sure he's not doing it with any sort of passion, anger, or other emotion, so telling him to "relax" is condescending. You need to realize the motivation behind his reversions before you accuse anyone of stalking.

Hi, it's me again... ''Quad'', remember? :P |
|||
First off, I wanted to thank you for your advice, as it was really useful. I've been adopted now, so I didn't bother you with more questions as I could have :) (and be glad for that) I've been using [[WP:LUPIN|Lupin's tool]] along with [[WP:TW|Twinkle]] to revert some vandalism the past few days, and I think I've been doing fine... I actually saw you quite a few times reverting some pages (As I'm sure did millions of others :P). But I wanted to ask you a couple more questions, if you don't mind: |
|||
* What is your experience with other tools previous to acquiring rollback privileges and [[WP:HUG|the killing machine]]? Any recommendations or tips for a specific one? |
|||
* Do you think having [[WP:HUG|the vandalism obliterator]] removes the need for ANY other tools? |
|||
* What's so good about rollback? I don't really get why people would apply for it having the tools I mentioned, but that's because I don't really understand what rollback actually ''does''. What are the advantages of having it, and what new things are you able to do with it? This is apart from using Huggle, of course. Because I noticed Twinkle has a ''rollback feature'', but according to my logic and what you said a few days ago, it can't be the same feature. And Lupin also, apparently (although I haven't tried that one yet, I usually find pages to revert with Lupin and revert and warn with Twinkle), but there is an option that says ''use non-admin rollback''. So, yeah, kind of confusing to me. |
|||
Any input is appreciated. See you around, and keep up the anti-vandalism, you insane-ultra-fast-reverting-human/Huggle-hybrid, you :P |

|||
:First, I want to say that I love that "insane-ultra-fast-reverting-human/Huggle-hybrid" name you called me. That is awesome! When I get the chance, I'm putting that in an "awesome quotes" section or somewhere. |
|||
:But for now, down to business... |
|||
:*''What is your experience with other tools previous to acquiring rollback privileges and [[WP:HUG|the killing machine]]? Any recommendations or tips for a specific one? |
|||
:::I got rollback in January 2008. Although I didn't know it at the time, this was right after non-admin rollback had been implemented. Prior to that, only administrators had access to the rollback feature. Before receiving rollback, I fought vandalism by hand using the undo feature. After receiving rollback, I continued to fight vandalism by hand for around a month. Then I saw [[User:Jj137|Jj137]] on Huggle (which was really new then, basically no one knew about it) and he gave it to me. So I never actually used any tools before Huggle. As for other tools, I swear by Twinkle for minor cleanup if I run across it in my random browsing. It's very fast (especially for a script-based tool), easy to use, and incredibly versatile. The only drawback is that it doesn't filter edits for you, so if you're going to fight vandalism solely with Twinkle, you'll have to go to [[Special:Recentchanges]], click on diffs, and hope you get there before a Huggler does. Another good tool (that does filter edits) is [[WP:MWT|Mike's Wiki Tool]]. One drawback is that it is kind of hard to get MWT to work on Windows Vista. If you are running Vista and would like to give it a try, I could try to walk you through the steps to set it up. (If you decide to go ahead and use just Twinkle, and you have access to [[IRC]], irc://irc.freenode.net/cvn-wp-en contains a useful stream of questionable edits that may make your life easier.) |
|||
:*''Do you think having [[WP:HUG|the vandalism obliterator]] removes the need for ANY other tools? |
|||
:::No I don't. I think each has its place. Huggle is only good at catching vandalism as it happens. After 15 minutes pass, Huggle is almost completely useless to combat vandalism unless the vandal attacks again. To draw a rough analogy, suppose that vandalism is bacteria, viruses, and/or poison, and Wikipedia is a human body. Huggle is equivalent to the body's skin. It stops practically everything, but once something gets through, the skin cannot do anything to stop it. Also, Huggle is a stand-alone application designed solely for fighting vandalism. As such, it is very difficult to do anything else while using it. Script-based tools such as Twinkle ride along in your browser, so suppose I am writing a rather long message like this one and I'm thinking about what to say next. I idly click on my watchlist and see that someone I had never heard of edited [[User:Jimbo Wales]]. I click on the diff, and find that they vandalized it. With Twinkle, I can just rollback the vandalism and warn the user with only a few clicks. I don't even have to type anything. Doing that with Huggle or other standalone antivandalism tools would be very awkward. |

|||
:::*'''(a)''''' What's so good about rollback? I don't really get why people would apply for it having the tools I mentioned, |
|||
::::: Rollback is implemented at the system level, right in MediaWiki, the software that runs Wikipedia. As a result, it is much, ''much'' faster and less demanding on the servers than any script-based tool could ever hope to be. As proof of what it is capable of doing, take a look at [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20080715154023&limit=54&target=J.delanoy&month=&year= this link]. There is no way you could ever do that with a script. |
|||
:::*'''''(b)''' but that's because I don't really understand what rollback actually ''does''. What are the advantages of having it, and what new things are you able to do with it? This is apart from using Huggle, of course. |
|||
::::: Rollback is essentially a hyperlink that calls on a special feature of MediaWiki that automatically figures out which revision is the last revision made by someone other than the current editor. Rollback then supplies the server with a unique hashed token to verify that the person who clicked the link is allowed to do so, and if everything is in order, the server undoes all consecutive edits by the page's last editor. (If you're interested, a rollback hyperlink looks something like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=rollback&from=Remember+the+dot&token=f42e845f614ddf72344d166a4ba29d7c%2B%5C) |
|||
:::*'''(c)''''' Because I noticed Twinkle has a ''rollback feature'', but according to my logic and what you said a few days ago, it can't be the same feature. |
|||
:::::Twinkle's rollback feature mimics the MediaWiki one, but since it is a script is not as fast or efficient as the "real" one. The rest of my answer here would basically repeat the answer to part "b" of the answer to this question. |
|||
:::*'''(d)''''' And Lupin also, apparently (although I haven't tried that one yet, I usually find pages to revert with Lupin and revert and warn with Twinkle), but there is an option that says ''use non-admin rollback''. So, yeah, kind of confusing to me. |
|||
::::: Non-admin rollback is what you would be getting if you applied at [[WP:RFPERM]]. There are two [[Special:Listgrouprights|user rights groups]] that have access to the MediaWiki rollback feature: Administrators and Rollbackers. I explained some of the background behind this in the answer to question a. |

Hi J.delanoy. I see that you promised to block 66.204.14.7 for any further vandalism -- which I just reverted on the [[Hot L Baltimore]] page. I didn't go far back on that user's record but none of what I saw were useful edits. Too bad he/she is using a school account but it's getting to be irritating, isn't it? —[[User:Blanchette|Blanchette]] ([[User talk:Blanchette|talk]]) 21:39, 10 October 2008 (UTC) |

Hello J.delanoy. I'm contacting you as I see that you were recently involved with the application of sanctions under this Arbcom probation. Could you please have a look at [[Talk:International_reaction_to_the_2008_declaration_of_independence_by_Kosovo#Proposal_to_ban_User:Tocino_from_this_topic_as_per_WP:ARBMAC|this]]? I've proposed [[User:Tocino]] to be banned as per the probation. I believe that there's a consensus for such action. Could you please have a look into it and eventually ban the user if you, too, agree that there's plenty of grounds for a ban? Thank you.

I thought IP's were not allowed to delete their own warnings/notices. I usually revert them to help others know what warnings to give to repeat vandals. What is the policy on this?

== The discussion == |
|||
Hello, J.delanoy. Personally, I don't want to take part in this political lynching. Notice that they have not talked about my edits on articles they just have gotten their feelings hurt by political beliefs. The admin who is leading this charge is a questionable character and I don't want to give credence to his "discussion". --[[User:Tocino|Tocino]] 17:19, 11 October 2008 (UTC) |

:Well, I cannot force you to comment, but you are only hurting yourself if you do not. The identity of the person who started the conversation is irrelevant. I did not even look at that conversation or any of Husond's reasons before I started looking around. Your assertion that "''They have not talked about my edits they just have gotten their feelings hurt by political beliefs''" is also irrelevant. I came to my conclusions based solely on my own research. Other users' opinions on you did not influence me in the slightest. Your own edits are what caused me to say what I did. I once again ask you to say something in response to my request on the talk page.

How do you revert so fast?
When I try to revert "blanked the page", I noticed that you have already reverted it while I was trying to. I do view the recent changes list, but how do you eliminate the edit so fast? Do you use a software program? I wouldn't think it's vandalproof, because that has been disabled. Do you use anything, or do you just manage to click through the links to revert it so fast? -- IRP ☎ 23:41, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
I still not understanding why you had reverted my article Rianxo and after you "undoing own edit". If you watch what I have made in that article, you understand that wasn't an unconstructive contribution. Please, do not revert articles without see what we had made on them. Thanks. 84.90.92.195 (talk) 00:16, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Question
Hi - I wanted to ask you about this article, where an anonymous IP editor is constantly reverting to assert that Kosovo is part of Serbia. Now in my judgment this is a content dispute which is not really vandalism, and I do not wish to partake in a revert war. But I reverted an edit he made which had an edit summary carrying a threat. Question: can his edits, owing to his edit summary/attitude, be construed as vandalism? Did I do properly to revert with Huggle, or should I leave such edits alone? Vishnava talk 00:21, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
- Considering his edit summary, I'd say it is vandalism so I doubt any admin is gonna block you for WP:3RR--Xp54321 (Hello! • Contribs) 00:24, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks to you both! I want to be perfectly cautious not to violate any policy here by improper use of Huggle. Vishnava talk 00:34, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Questions about Huggle
Hi. I'm a newbie editor with intentions of becoming a functional recent changes patroller. While I was checking out the Recent Changes page, I noticed you revert a lot of vandalism (kudos to you on that mate), but not just that –you are unbelievably fast. I definitely don't think I'm the fastest around here, but I'm definitely not slow either, yet when I get to the page, I always find you've already reverted it! I might not sleep at night if I have to assume this is the result of human training; I mean, can you really be that fast without the aid of something?
So, I read you use Huggle. I'd like to try it out, but a couple of things confuse me. Maybe you could clarify them for me, since you say you can help with the vandalism tools? Pretty please with sugar on top? :)
The questions would be:
- Is Huggle even functoinal anymore? On its page (I assume) it says MEDIAWIKI CHANGES/BUGS HAVE BROKEN HUGGLE. USE SOMETHING ELSE. THANKS. So... yeah. Kind of confused here. If it is unstable (or something), how long has it been this way? And do you think it might work properly again? (If it's broken in some way in the first place, of course)
- Is Huggle the reason you edit at the speed of light? Or do you just possess inhuman, godlike speed? I might just worship you if you do :D Or at least give you some sort of barnstar.
- Do I absolutely need rollback rights to use it? Or can I just do less things with it without having rollback rights? I want to know if I can fight vandalism better without having to apply for a privilege I don't fully understand and probably wouldn't get in a million years.
Any help on any/all of these questions is greatly appreciated. --QuadrivialMind (talk) 03:45, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for your answers mate. If I have more questions about the vandal fighter thingamabobs, I'll be sure ask you :)
- And yes, you can call me Quad, lol. --QuadrivialMind (talk) 17:19, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Is about.com considered a reliable source? I am currently editing an article that uses about.com almost exclusively. It does not look kosher to me, and would appreciate the benefit of your experience. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 15:41, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
- According to our article about it, About.com is an online source for original information and advice [...] The site’s content is dynamic, attempting to keep up with new information and changing consumer interests.". So I would say that it is not reliable, since apparently pretty much anyone can say anything and they don't have to back it up like we do here. J.delanoygabsadds 15:44, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
- That is precisely what I thought. I am removing the references, which will, unfortunately, leave the article almost wholly unreferenced. Alas... ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 15:47, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

[2]. Nice. Fast. I won't be surprised to see more of this from 87.112-87.115, which is the floating IP range for a provider used by both the banned User:Fredrick day and the blocked User:Oxyman42, which may or may not be independent users. Quite a coincidence if they are. (The only two very active users attempting to harass me are co-located?).? Anyway, thanks. Not worth spending a lot of time on this, they will just reboot the modem. --Abd (talk) 16:42, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

- Whack-a-mole is actually kind of fun, if a bit brainless. --Abd (talk) 16:50, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
- Pretty much. I remember one day someone vandalized an article with several different IP addresses, so I semi-protected it, since the mainspace actually matters. They then vandalized my talk page with "Ha, I sure pwned that article". I reverted and blocked. He came back again saying "I have unlimited IP address". rv, block. He kept this up for quite a while actually, and I just kept swinging the banhammer, and I refused to protect my page. After a while, he just stopped. Most vandals are like that.

Revert on user talk
Just as a note, I have undone your revert, I like to keep all messages for reference, unless they violate guidelines or whatever of course. Whilst it does perhaps constitute a personal attack, I'd prefer it be left. Just letting you know, you did indeed do the right thing, I just like to keep everything in one place. — neuro(talk) 17:03, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
- That is not a problem, it's your talk page. I just read it as a personal attack since you had reverted him, so I removed it. J.delanoygabsadds 17:04, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Deleted Eagle Mountain, Utah edit
J. Delanoy - I have been trying to delete the current entry for Eagle Mountain, Utah under the History of Mayors section because it is full of personal attacks and a subjective view of the history, which I understand to be against Wikipedia's policies.
I am a representative of Eagle Mountain City and am trying to make our entry based on facts an verifiable information only, and yet I am the one who is being threatened to be banned from editing this page.
Please tell me how I may get this corrected permanently so that those who are truly vandalizing this page may be banned.
Thank you.

Hi there,
I dont understand why you consider adding information about past international events vandalism. I was merely addind a comment about her Bronze Medalle at the 2008 AEGON Challenge Cup http://www.tracings.net/2008chalc.html and the Gold Medall at the 2008 JGP in Mexico City in Mexico to the Biographie section. If you consider this vandalism than I will no longer waste my time trying to improve the figure skater pages you have here.

Bill Ayers
Hi J, delanoy- I noticed you semi-protected Bill Ayers due to excessive vandalism. I had been working on the article and reverting vandalism, BLP violations and unsourced POV. The problem edits are mainly coming from registered users and the minimal vandalism is removed from this article by editors faster then a bot.
I have also been working on other election related articles that are now semi-protected and I can no longer edit without creating an account. I tried to create one with my known user name IP75, but there is a inactive user 'LP75' and I get a message that says I need an Admin to create this account. Can you help me with this matter and also waive the four day waiting period so that I can continue to contribute. Thanks, IP75 75.25.28.167 (talk) 20:22, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
- I would be glad to create the account for you. Can you give me your email address so that I can send a random password to you? As far as waiving the four-day waiting period, I do not think it is technically possible to do that. I looked around everywhere I could think of, and I don't think there is any way to do that. I am reluctant to unprotect the Ayers page, since it seems extremely likely that it will receive a high amount of vandalism. Would you be willing to wait the four days? I'm really sorry that it seems that I am going to have to make you to do this, but I don't know exactly what to do. :/ J.delanoygabsadds 20:56, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Stalking
Is there anyway you can stop stalking the Obama Bio page? You're so trigger happy, you even accidentally revert people commenting on the talk page! Just breathe...and relax. 68.143.88.2 (talk) 21:38, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
- JD isn't "stalking" the page; he has it on his watchlist and actively patrols for vandalism. This is a valuable task and the fact that he reverted a non-vandalistic edit - and immediately reverted himself - is not grounds for a call for him to cease-and-desist. Also, I'm pretty sure he's not doing it with any sort of passion, anger, or other emotion, so telling him to "relax" is condescending. You need to realize the motivation behind his reversions before you accuse anyone of stalking. Tan | 39 21:53, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Wow, this is amazing...
Over 2,000 reverts today with that fancy and addicting tool. I'm even just staring at the RC watching for vandalism until you and Thingg come along. I guess today is your day for Huggling vandals isn't it? Plus, I'm also impressed at your 90K + edits on Wikipedia in honour of your vandalism reversions. I would have given you a barnstar, but I have to do homework right now. Keep up that super-fantastic huggling! (P.S. Are you going to take a break soon?) SchfiftyThree 22:32, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
- Whoa, I have more than 2000 edits today? Wow. I mean wow. I was at college most of the day, and I had two hours with no classes and a two hour class where I don't have to pay attention to get an "A", and a two-hour lab where my teacher's rules are "Submit good work on time, and you can do whatever you want in lab.", so I haven't really had much that I have had to do. I didn't realize before now, but Thingg and I really have been slammin' dem vandals today. I don't know when I'm going to stop, probably once the vandalism slows down a bit. Have fun with your homework... X-P J.delanoygabsadds 22:38, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

- Sorry, I didn't see this reply until now. Hmm, I can't remember who it was, but they had made a lot of extremely blatant vandalism, and Huggle was acting up, so it wouldn't warn him. I had his talk page open in Firefox to issue a warning with Twinkle, and I saw him vandalize twice more on Huggle, so I just blocked him. J.delanoygabsadds 02:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I don't think it's a huge deal, but I personally try to err on the side of caution. "Huggle acting up" doesn't seem the best reason to quit warning vandals. They often do stop once they see we're serious, and for the ones that won't stop regardless, a couple of orange bars are pretty cheap to make an appeal less likely to succeed. Just my two cents.

Newbie editor back and asking for your input
Hi, it's me again... Quad, remember? :P
First off, I wanted to thank you for your advice, as it was really useful. I've been adopted now, so I didn't bother you with more questions as I could have :) (and be glad for that) I've been using Lupin's tool along with Twinkle to revert some vandalism the past few days, and I think I've been doing fine... I actually saw you quite a few times reverting some pages (As I'm sure did millions of others :P). But I wanted to ask you a couple more questions, if you don't mind:
- What is your experience with other tools previous to acquiring rollback privileges and the killing machine? Any recommendations or tips for a specific one?
- Do you think having the vandalism obliterator removes the need for ANY other tools?
- What's so good about rollback? I don't really get why people would apply for it having the tools I mentioned, but that's because I don't really understand what rollback actually does. What are the advantages of having it, and what new things are you able to do with it? This is apart from using Huggle, of course. Because I noticed Twinkle has a rollback feature, but according to my logic and what you said a few days ago, it can't be the same feature. And Lupin also, apparently (although I haven't tried that one yet, I usually find pages to revert with Lupin and revert and warn with Twinkle), but there is an option that says use non-admin rollback. So, yeah, kind of confusing to me.
Any input is appreciated. See you around, and keep up the anti-vandalism, you insane-ultra-fast-reverting-human/Huggle-hybrid, you :P
--QuadrivialMind (talk) 04:16, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hello again, Quad!
- First, I want to say that I love that "insane-ultra-fast-reverting-human/Huggle-hybrid" name you called me. That is awesome! When I get the chance, I'm putting that in an "awesome quotes" section or somewhere.
- But for now, down to business...
- What is your experience with other tools previous to acquiring rollback privileges and the killing machine? Any recommendations or tips for a specific one?
- I got rollback in January 2008. Although I didn't know it at the time, this was right after non-admin rollback had been implemented. Prior to that, only administrators had access to the rollback feature. Before receiving rollback, I fought vandalism by hand using the undo feature. After receiving rollback, I continued to fight vandalism by hand for around a month. Then I saw Jj137 on Huggle (which was really new then, basically no one knew about it) and he gave it to me. So I never actually used any tools before Huggle. As for other tools, I swear by Twinkle for minor cleanup if I run across it in my random browsing. It's very fast (especially for a script-based tool), easy to use, and incredibly versatile. The only drawback is that it doesn't filter edits for you, so if you're going to fight vandalism solely with Twinkle, you'll have to go to Special:Recentchanges, click on diffs, and hope you get there before a Huggler does. Another good tool (that does filter edits) is Mike's Wiki Tool. One drawback is that it is kind of hard to get MWT to work on Windows Vista. If you are running Vista and would like to give it a try, I could try to walk you through the steps to set it up. (If you decide to go ahead and use just Twinkle, and you have access to IRC, irc://irc.freenode.net/cvn-wp-en contains a useful stream of questionable edits that may make your life easier.)
- Do you think having the vandalism obliterator removes the need for ANY other tools?
- No I don't. I think each has its place. Huggle is only good at catching vandalism as it happens. After 15 minutes pass, Huggle is almost completely useless to combat vandalism unless the vandal attacks again. To draw a rough analogy, suppose that vandalism is bacteria, viruses, and/or poison, and Wikipedia is a human body. Huggle is equivalent to the body's skin. It stops practically everything, but once something gets through, the skin cannot do anything to stop it. Also, Huggle is a stand-alone application designed solely for fighting vandalism. As such, it is very difficult to do anything else while using it. Script-based tools such as Twinkle ride along in your browser, so suppose I am writing a rather long message like this one and I'm thinking about what to say next. I idly click on my watchlist and see that someone I had never heard of edited User:Jimbo Wales. I click on the diff, and find that they vandalized it. With Twinkle, I can just rollback the vandalism and warn the user with only a few clicks. I don't even have to type anything. Doing that with Huggle or other standalone antivandalism tools would be very awkward.
- (a) What's so good about rollback? I don't really get why people would apply for it having the tools I mentioned, (b)but that's because I don't really understand what rollback actually does. What are the advantages of having it, and what new things are you able to do with it? This is apart from using Huggle, of course.

(d)And Lupin also, apparently (although I haven't tried that one yet, I usually find pages to revert with Lupin and revert and warn with Twinkle), but there is an option that says use non-admin rollback. So, yeah, kind of confusing to me.
- (I labeled the different parts of your question to make it easier to read my answer)
- (a) What's so good about rollback? I don't really get why people would apply for it having the tools I mentioned,
- Rollback is implemented at the system level, right in MediaWiki, the software that runs Wikipedia. As a result, it is much, much faster and less demanding on the servers than any script-based tool could ever hope to be. As proof of what it is capable of doing, take a look at this link. There is no way you could ever do that with a script.
- (b) but that's because I don't really understand what rollback actually does. What are the advantages of having it, and what new things are you able to do with it? This is apart from using Huggle, of course.
- Rollback is essentially a hyperlink that calls on a special feature of MediaWiki that automatically figures out which revision is the last revision made by someone other than the current editor. Rollback then supplies the server with a unique hashed token to verify that the person who clicked the link is allowed to do so, and if everything is in order, the server undoes all consecutive edits by the page's last editor. (If you're interested, a rollback hyperlink looks something like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=rollback&from=Remember+the+dot&token=f42e845f614ddf72344d166a4ba29d7c%2B%5C)
- (c) Because I noticed Twinkle has a rollback feature, but according to my logic and what you said a few days ago, it can't be the same feature.
- Twinkle's rollback feature mimics the MediaWiki one, but since it is a script is not as fast or efficient as the "real" one. The rest of my answer here would basically repeat the answer to part "b" of the answer to this question.
- (d) And Lupin also, apparently (although I haven't tried that one yet, I usually find pages to revert with Lupin and revert and warn with Twinkle), but there is an option that says use non-admin rollback. So, yeah, kind of confusing to me.
- Non-admin rollback is what you would be getting if you applied at WP:RFPERM. There are two user rights groups that have access to the MediaWiki rollback feature: Administrators and Rollbackers. I explained some of the background behind this in the answer to question a.
- (I labeled the different parts of your question to make it easier to read my answer)
- I hope that helps you out. If not, feel free to ask for clarification. I've got to go to sleep now, so I guess I'll ttyl. Cheers! J.delanoygabsadds 05:27, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi J.delanoy- User:Threeafterthree has violated 3RR on the Obama-Ayers controversy article for the last four consecutive days (10-7 to 10-10). He has inserted BLP violations and his edits have been disruptive. After another user placed a NPOV warning on his talk page today, he removed it and then reverted again. He is not a new user and has previously been warned. Could you please block. Thanks, IP75 (talk) 21:28, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

The discussion
Hello, J.delanoy. Personally, I don't want to take part in this political lynching. Notice that they have not talked about my edits on articles they just have gotten their feelings hurt by political beliefs. The admin who is leading this charge is a questionable character and I don't want to give credence to his "discussion". --Tocino 17:19, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I cannot force you to comment, but you are only hurting yourself if you do not. The identity of the person who started the conversation is irrelevant. I did not even look at that conversation or any of Husond's reasons before I started looking around. Your assertion that "They have not talked about my edits they just have gotten their feelings hurt by political beliefs" is also irrelevant. I came to my conclusions based solely on my own research. Other users' opinions on you did not influence me in the slightest. Your own edits are what caused me to say what I did. I once again ask you to say something in response to my request on the talk page. J.delanoygabsadds 17:35, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I always see you around beating me to reverts. Keep up the good work! dvdrw 02:35, 12 October 2008 (UTC) But also the occasional block- and now on edit-conflicted semi-protects. And I goofed. Good eye, I didn't mean to change the move protection. dvdrw 03:07, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- It's not a big deal. I do stuff like that all the time. For example, just a couple days ago, I accidentally full-protected someone's editor review for 31 hours. Luckily no one tried to review him... >_> J.delanoygabsadds 03:13, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
