User talk:Freakofnurture/header

Bot block

I blocked your bot as it is depoulating a category which is on deletion review. If you stop it depopulating the category then unblock it or ask me to ublock it. Tim! 09:39, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock

Christ, man, you could have directed your inquiry to my talk page, as stated in the instructions at User talk:Catapult. How was I supposed to know it was on deletion review? See WP:CFD#Empty and delete. I don't read WP:DRV, it's plagued by trolls. — Apr. 16, '06 [09:40] <freakofnurxture|talk>

Anyway now I have your attention the bot is unblocked. sorry about that I'll know next time. Tim! 09:48, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Actors and actresses appearing on CSI is the only category on DRV in that section, there are two others but they've been nuked already. Tim! 09:57, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know. I "nuked" them myself, per the instructions at WP:CFD, unaware of your posting at WP:DRV less than 45 minutes ago. If you felt strongly about this issue, you should have attempted to sway the consensus at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 April 6#CSI categories. Would you have blocked me if I had elected to depopulate them manually instead of by bot? — Apr. 16, '06 [10:02] <freakofnurxture|talk>

Hard to sway a consensus to delete when you don't know that a category was being allowed to be deleted when it was tagged for renaming. The block was necessary only because a bot was being used. If you were doing it manually you would see "NEW MESSAGE" spring up bright yellow and hopefully stop doing it. Tim! 10:05, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Apology

Don't apologize to me, talk to User:RadioKirk. — Apr. 22, '06 [12:34]

You are correct, sir. Jim16 01:34, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

I'm sorry if you think I'm too new to be an adminship but I've been being a Wikipedian since December, 2003. I just didn't have an account. I know all about Wikipedia. I have interviewed many Wikipedians and have even made friends with a few. I WAS a perfect adminship nominee. An old nominee, General Eisenhower 17:20, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rockero's RFA

You're voting oppose because because he edits too much on Hispanic articles? That makes no sense to me. What does the subject of the pages he edits have to do with his ability to perform as an administrator? Please explain. Thanks, KI 17:52, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't put words in my mouth. Ethnicity has nothing to do with it. The ideal administrator is a person whose activity spreads over a wider area, and who is willing to expand his comfort zone and actually edit topics he isn't an expert on. I don't know which articles I'm going to edit tomorrow, much less next week. Somebody might ask me for help within the next hour, and it might be a topic I know nothing about, but I'll do the best I can, and I'll probably learn about new things in the process. Life should be 100% educational. This site is huge, I encourage everybody to explore it. Pick a random article check out the most recent edits, revert some vandalism, and maybe you'll read about something rather interesting that you'd never heard of before, and maybe that article has a some errors in it, and maybe you take the time to fix those errors, and maybe you move some content around so it makes more sense. Or maybe you're like too many users, it seems, and just read the talk page and wait for someone to actually beckon you into editing. Maybe the folks there are dicks who think they own the article, and they tell you to go away. An administrator has to be ready to deal with any of these situations, such is the way of the Wiki. The more people collaborating on any given article, the higher the quality, and the closer it wil come to achieving a truly neutral point of view. "Be bold in editing articles" also means "be willing to challenge yourself". — Apr. 16, '06 [18:21] <freakofnurxture|talk>

Especially with a very weak vote of Tentatively oppose, I would like to make a personal appeal for you to reconsider your position. You can read at Rockero's RFA how I feel on the issue. Please at least consider moving your vote to Neutral. I will admit that both the narrowness of subject matter, and spareness of Wikipedia namespace edits are weaknesses that would give me pause and might cause me to vote oppose for an editor that I was unfamilar with. I have, however, seen Rockero make many fine edits on the Southern California topics that are on my watchlist, and I think that he would make a good administrator for the English-language Wikipedia. BlankVerse 04:36, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your interest in my opinion. I'm sure you've read my verbose paragraph above, so it is clear to you that I'm not "Boothy-voting" as it's called. I feel that I have legitimate concerns, and it appears that other users feel similarly. As stated previously, I may consider changing my vote if he responds to the concerns I raised, and inspires some confidence that he wouldn't merely be making a transformation from "niche user" to "niche administrator". Adminship and topic specialism are a threatening combination. Perceptions of others' edits become skewed. Differing points of view get rolled back as vandalism. People get blocked by the opposing edit warrior. I've seen too many users get promoted to adminship, then use their tools only to self-serving ends. It happened to me just two days ago as I was removing a category in accordance with a cfd closure. I have nothing against Rockero personally I assure you, because I had never heard of him before (in no small part, I'm sure, due to his limited range of topics), but my concerns regarding this unpleasant trend outweigh other factors such as edit count, quality of edits, and "composition of brilliant prose". If he's willing to talk to me about this, I may change my vote. — Apr. 18, '06 [04:54] <freakofnurxture|talk>

Please take a look at my further comments above, Thanks, Arniep 02:04, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attacks by User:86.138.135.64

This troll seems to be on a spree of personal attacks here and on his user page. He sues several aliases like User:Prin and User:Yellow. He has also vandalised my user page, the article on Ajith and user page of User:M.arunprasad. He has also been uploading images violating copyright restrictions. Please take action urgently. Anwar saadat 13:08, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you suspect sockpupptry, I might refer you to WP:RFCU. Otherwise, try WP:AIV. — Apr. 17, '06 [13:14] <freakofnurxture|talk>

POV question

What is or is there there a policy on POV disputes where only 1 editor refuses to be NPOV and removes {{POV}} tags and is in a constant state of reverting NPOV back to POV statements? --Scott Grayban 15:12, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the 3RR will always apply. If it's a slow-motion edit war, and it persists for weeks or more, you should request mediation from an outside party. Also, note that persistant, irrational edit warring combined with refusal to discuss the disputed content can be a blockable offense, even without ever exceeding three reverts in a day (which is an automatic block). — Apr. 17, '06 [15:15] <freakofnurxture|talk>
The cabal has been tried twice and no go. The editor in question refuses to be NPOV and reverts edits constantly including deleting talkpage comments that do not fit his way of thinking. If you look at Talk:Cuba and the history for that article you will see that Adam Carr wont play nice. He has even stated on my talkpage that he defeat anyone that crosses his way of thinking. Personally I think its time for a block on him. --Scott Grayban 15:22, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No comment? --Scott Grayban 15:52, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CFD, backlog, and bots

On the deletion review of the CSI actors categories, you make, amoung your comments, a comment of "enjoy your backlog". I hope I am reading too much into this, and that this does not mean you are washing your hands of the whole CFD backlog. I had been patiently waiting for your efforts to reverse engineer the actions that Nekobot used to perform for us there. If you, and especially your bot, are done with CFD for good, then I need to go back to the bot request page and look for someone else to try to replicate Nekobot. - TexasAndroid 15:54, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I can see you're frustrated. I also see no easy way to notify people of category changes beyond what we now do. Any kind of notification system would break down on large categories. Imagine putting notices on hundreds of talk pages for a spelling or capitalization change. Even for a more substantial change, if the category is even lightly populated, then it becomes a masive chore to do the notices. I also worry abotu having a bot do it, because I could see the potential for vandalistic chaos if we have putting a CFD tag on a page cause a bot to drop lots and lots of notices. A vandal could drop a few tags "proposing" to convert a well populated cat into "F-You", and sit back and watch the chaos that ensued. So tagging individual articles is not practical manually, and a bot could cause more problems than it solves.
Anyway, it's good to hear that you are not abandoning CFD for good. Without a regular bot, I see no hope for the backlog getting anything but progressively worse. - TexasAndroid 16:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

qif

Hi, thanks for replacing {{qif}} with #if. Please don't forget to add category:Templates using ParserFunctions to templates you convert. I created this category because the m:ParserFunctions (PF) is still in trial and not yet officially released. So we can see where PF is used (and act if something needs to be adapted). There was also some consensus to wait with mass conversions to #if until ParserFunctions is deemed stable by developer Tim. See also [1]. Cheers! --Ligulem 11:30, 18 April 2006 (UTC) (a fan of ParserFunctions)[reply]

Alright, though I assume this category will eventually be redundant with the prefix "Template:" — Apr. 18, '06 [12:24] <freakofnurxture|talk>
Could you please use an edit summary like "converted to #if:" or so instead of "cleanup" [2]? Thanks! --Ligulem 12:09, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good. My clipboard can only hold one thing at a time though. — Apr. 18, '06 [12:24] <freakofnurxture|talk>
Sorry for disturbing again. But you seem to be on a qif extinction trip right now.... I have a minor comment about [3], [4] :There is no need to add a final "|" if there is no "else" part. No harm done. Just in case you didn't know... (this might be a matter of style, and a nanobit of server efficiency) --Ligulem 12:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Make omissions explicit. — Apr. 18, '06 [12:24] <freakofnurxture|talk>
Ah no. Sorry my bad. You are right. Apologies. These are empty then clauses... Zzzz --Ligulem 12:22, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Actually they are empty else clauses. Yes it's a matter of style, I think this will make the code easier to read, you know, for the newbies, especially in more complex cases. — Apr. 18, '06 [12:26] <freakofnurxture|talk>
Woops. After having a second look: There was a bug I belive here [5]: deleted "|". I fixed that. --Ligulem 12:30, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I should honestly do this with a bot, for the unprotected ones. It would be much less error prone. — Apr. 18, '06 [12:32] <freakofnurxture|talk>
I'm a WP:AWB user (also developer on that sourceforge project). I could help doing that. I also have a bot account User:Ligulembot. Don't you think it is a bit too early to do mass migrations from qif to #if? Tim said it is still a trial (though I don't know how long this shall last). PF is very new stuff. I wouldn't want to do mass reversals P. --Ligulem 12:37, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It obviously works and is a suitable replacement for all instances of qif, even the ones stacked twelve or so deep, such as Template:Language. I seriously doubt he'd pull the plug on it and tell us to revert back to qif. — Apr. 18, '06 [12:39] <freakofnurxture|talk>
Lol. I still do have "plug pulling" paranoia from the time where WP:AUM was hot. I had some bad nights after DG announced about the old template:if "killed with an axe, qif will be next" on wikitech-l ([6] and [7]) (Snowie had blanked and protected template if). --Ligulem 12:47, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think Phillip Q. Sandifer does much around here anymore. And I certainly don't see the harm in replacing qif, especially in cases where even hiddenStructure would be a better option. — Apr. 18, '06 [12:50] <freakofnurxture|talk>
I do think we should hold off on these mass conversions. The way that the #if: function is called and works has already been adjusted a couple of times and other items have been added to and removed from m:ParserFunctions in just the few days since it was introduced. Despite the histrionics and unpleasantness there is no significant drawback to the older methods except for a handful of templates which were amongst the first to be converted. Thus it seems prudent to proceed in stages and only fully deprecate the old methods once the new have stabilized... which definitely hasn't happened yet. --CBDunkerson 15:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of an article about me

Hello there. When checking the referers on my webpage I found that there was a wikepedia article about me. Felix Wells to be precise. It has been proposed that it be deleted which I support as I do not deserve an article. However, I do request that the article be deleted ASAP as I find the term "reflected glory" to be derogotary and insulting as it makes out that I have no skill at all.

Thank you in advance, Felix M Wells.

Thank you for dealing with my issue so quickly and for being so nice about it. I now understand the situation and appologise if I seemed rude earlier. Sorry if I'm no supposed to post this here, I don't know how to reply and couldn't find any instructions. --Felixwells.

As Joe Quesada is part of the Marvel brand, I am making changes to his page that reflect that, that correct errors, and better reflect neutrality. Please revert the page back to the edits I have made. People can discuss their theories and opinions of Mr. Quesada on his bio's talk page, but this should be left out of the main bio.

My RfA

Thanks for your interest in my RfA. I'm not likely to be approved at this point, so I'm trying to get a sense of what all you would expect of me. I've always thought of adminship as a way of keeping vandalism down on pages, apply discipline to cool tempers down, etc. These are exactly the reasons I allowed my name to be put forward.

Most of my wiki time has been expended in trying to craft good texts that represent all sides of scholarship on highly controversial pages. I've had a measure of success there, but it has consumed many hours of research and discussion. In short, I've functioned like a listserv moderator. The admin tools would help a great deal and would allow me to be of some help in disputes on pages where I'm not an editor.

Anyway, if you can give me some idea of what you'd be looking for, I can consider whether or not I can be of service in this way. --CTSWyneken 11:08, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Humus

Interesting what you say about the user with 891 edits. I stand corrected, and I have no idea who it is. My point was only that there are different types of users. I'd only start to worry if an average got above seven or eight, because that really is starting to get very narrow, and I certainly didn't mean to imply that people with low averages are useless. :-) The details of the alleged 3RR violation are here, and I say "alleged" because it seems to have been a false report, though I haven't looked at the diffs.

Yeah... I'll admit #6 is not the best answer, but it was at that point I was getting a little tired of the questions. Plus, I really don't see me blocking that many people, especially at first. As to Ann Coulter, I don't claim that article as my own, but it is a fairly high vandalised article, on a very contentious subject, so I have reverted and tried to NPOV it quite a bit. It's one of those, "If I don't do it, who will?"-type things. Thanks for taking the time to explain, and for taking an interest. See ya. --LV (Dark Mark) 22:14, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, as I see it, most admins should be willing to make difficult blocks. And those that are not able to know who the "big hitters" of blocks are... yourself included. I just think it's one of those things that come with the territory. But like I said, I probably won't make too many blocks, so who am I to talk? ;-) Thanks again. --LV (Dark Mark) 22:18, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My unofficial shayne ward website

Hi, i have setup a new unofficial website for shayne ward that has been removed from the external links. The website is primarily geared to offer news, images and bio information that the official (Sony Entertainment) run website can't.

I don't want to upset anybody but the website is 'on-topic' and relevant

urls i posted are not spam they are on topic please do not remove them

urls i posted are not spam they are on topic please do not remove them

Is the block because of the user page thing? Maybe you know something I don't know, but I'd halfway assumed this guy was a clueless newbie, not an intentional troublemaker. Friday (talk) 01:36, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it has a bit more to do with copying 45 kilobytes of "Hi, I'm Stifle" onto his userpage. — Apr. 21, '06 [01:39] <freakofnurxture|talk>

You should probably look at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Is_this_really_an_admin.3F. There's been discussion of this guy. I don't see any reason to block him, but you might want to bring it up there. Friday (talk) 01:49, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do you still think he should be indefinitely blocked, then? He's a newbie. He copied someone's user page, and made an incomplete effort to change it to be about himself. The potentially bad parts were already removed by others. Has this guy been up to something bad I don't know about? I see what look like normal newbie contributions, I haven't noticed any vandalism or anything else to cause me to lose good faith. Friday (talk) 02:02, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's patent nonsense consisting of 18 S's. Or is it 14? Maybe 16. Hmm... made you count them... difficult isn't it? Do you think anybody's going to remember that username in order to make a second log-in? I don't. It appears to be a throwaway vandal account. If this is not the intention, I'll unblock his IP so he can register a more username that is more memorable, if not more meaningful. — Apr. 21, '06 [12:08] <freakofnurxture|talk>
Don't bother. I too agree that he is a vandal with a warped mind, especially after that interesting email - I was just asking cos I had never seen that block reason before that's all. Cheers. enochlau (talk) 12:11, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox President

Hi, Freakofnurture, I have temporarily reverted your modifications to Template:Infobox President; on the page James Garfield, some of the "if" code was shown uninterpreted at the top of the page, outside of the box, and the bottom of the infobox was incorrect, indicating a problem somewhere. Since I am not able to investigate this right now, I thought it best to revert to the working version. Unfortunately, I forgot to copy/paste the erroneous page while it was displayed, and of course it displays fine now. Cheers, Schutz 11:55, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, I don't see the problem anymore. None of the two pages have been modified otherwise, so I am bit puzzled. No screenshot unfortunately, since my cache has been replaced by the correct version. I'll make sure to make one if it appears again. Thanks for looking into it ! Schutz 11:59, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message, but I am doing the job from the top of cricketers' section. Shyam (T/C) 13:42, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

had it occured to you that registered user 205.188.116.138. (talk · contribs) created by ip user 205.188.116.138 (talk · contribs), might not be an imposter at all? rather an AOL user creating a registered account for editing pages that are permanently sprotected for no particular reason, cough, cough, and not an attempt at ip spoofing at all?--152.163.100.73 23:06, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't make any sense. Why would one AOL IP impersonate another? And don't give me that bullshit about George W. Bush. That article has been vandalized over 5,000 times. Get an account, choose a real name, and stop trolling. — Apr. 23, '06 [23:11] <freakofnurxture|talk>
Because I wasn't impersonating myself, I am myself, however myself can't edit articles that are sprotected--152.163.100.10 23:19, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Like I said, just get an account that resembles a name rather than an IP address, to avoid confusing everybody who sees your edits. It doesn't have to be your name, it can be something like "AOL_user_152" or "YankeesFan205" or something, these would be perfectly acceptable. — Apr. 22, '06 [23:23] <freakofnurxture|talk>
Fair enough, but I still don't see why it was necessary to revert me--152.163.100.10 23:35, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

HRE RfA

Would you mind taking a look at my now-support vote there? It contains info you may not have noticed when you voted. Namely, that last block wasn't for a 3RR. Thanks! —BorgHunter ubx (talk) 02:34, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
