'''Rusyns''' (also referred to as Русины, '''Ruthenians, Ruthenes, Rusins, Carpatho-Rusyns,''' and '''Rusnaks''') are a [[Slav]]ic [[ethnic group]] that speaks the [[Rusyn language]] and are descended from the minority of [[Ruthenians]] who did not adopt the ethnonym [[Ukrainians|Ukrainian]] to describe their ethnic identity in the [[19th century|nineteenth]] and early [[20th century|twentieth centuries]]. Because many Ruthenians within Ukraine itself have adopted a Ukrainian ethnic identity<ref name="ukraine"/>, most contemporary Rusyns live outside Ukraine. Of the approximately 2 million people claimed by Rusyn organizations as being Rusyns, only 55,000 declare themselves as having this ethnicity. The ethnic identity of Rusyns is controversial, with some researchers claiming a separate [[East Slavic]] ethnicity distinct from [[Russians]], [[Ukrainians]], and [[Belarusians]], while others consider Rusyns to be a subgroup of the Ukrainian people.

{{main|Places inhabited by Rusyns}}


Prior to the middle of the 19th century, Ukrainians were referred to and known as Rusyns. The ethnonym ''Ukrainian'' came into widespread use only in modern times, replacing the ethnonym Rusyn initially on the banks of the Dnieper and later in western Ukraine, where it was still used into the 1930s. Today only a minority group uses this ethnonym for self-identification, primarily people living in the mountainous Transcarpathian region of western Ukraine and adjacent areas in Slovakia. Having eschewed the ethnonym Ukrainian, Rusyns across the old heartland of the Kyivan Rus state continue to use the ethnonym Rusyn, asserting a local and separate Rusyn ethnic identity.


Please put new messages on the bottom of this page
Contemporary Rusyns (those who so identify themselves today) have traditionally inhabited the area of the [[Eastern Carpathian|Eastern]] [[Carpathian Mountains]], as they still do. Their homeland is often referred to as [[Carpathian Ruthenia]], although that area no longer directly coincides with the area of Rusyn habitation. There are resettled Rusyn communities located in the [[Pannonian plain]], parts of present-day [[Serbia]] (particularly in [[Vojvodina]] – see also ''[[Ethnic groups of Vojvodina]]''), as well as present-day [[Croatia]] (in the region of [[Slavonia]]). Rusyns also migrated and settled in the northern regions of present-day [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]].


Many Rusyns [[emigrate]]d to the [[United States]] and [[Canada]], and are able to reconnect as a community with the advent of modern communications such as the [[internet]]. Concerns are being voiced regarding the preservation of their unique ethnic and cultural legacy.

==History==


-->
Rusyns are an ethnic group that never attained independent statehood, except for the ephemeral [[Lemko-Rusyn Republic]] and [[Komancza Republic]] after [[World War I]]. The Republic of [[Carpatho-Ukraine]] - which famously existed for only one day on March 15th, 1939 before it was occupied by Hungarian troops - is sometimes erroneously understood to have been a briefly self-determining Rusyn State. But although it was located in [[Subcarpathian Ruthenia]], the traditional Carpatho-Rusyn homeland, the Republic was a project overseen by Ukrainian nationalists, assisted by the [[Third Reich]]. The Republic's president, [[Avhustyn Voloshyn]], was an advocate of writing in the Rusyn vernacular but was a Ukrainophile nevertheless.


== Thanks ==
The Rusyns' fate has always rested in the hands of larger neighbouring powers, such as [[Hungary]], [[Czechoslovakia]], [[Slovakia]], [[Poland]], the [[Soviet Union]], [[Ukraine]], and [[Russia]]. In contrast to the modern [[History of Ukraine#First World War, the revolutions and aftermath|Ukrainian national movement]] that united Western Ukrainians with those from the rest of Ukraine, the Rusyn national movement takes two forms: one considers Rusyns as a separate [[Early East Slavs|East Slavic]] nation, while the other is based on the concept of fraternal unity with [[Russians]].


Thanks for that. That was...er...kinda scary that they knew my full name etc. Cheers again —— [[User:RyanLupin|RyanLupin]] • [[User talk:RyanLupin|(talk)]] 21:55, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
Most of the predecessors of the Eastern Slavic inhabitants of present-day Western Ukraine referred to themselves as Rusyns ({{lang-uk|Русини}}, [[Romanization of Ukrainian|translit.]] ''Rusyny'') prior to the nineteenth century; many of them became active participants in the creation of the Ukrainian nation and came to call themselves [[Ukrainians]] ([[Ukrainian language|Ukrainian]]: Українці, [[Romanization of Ukrainian|translit.]] ''Ukrayintsi''). There were, however, ethnic Rusyn enclaves which were not a part of this movement: those living on the border of the same territory or in more isolated regions, such as the people from Carpathian Ruthenia, [[Poleshuks]], or the Rusyns of [[Podlachia]]. With no reason to change their [[Exonym and endonym|self-identifying monikers]], these isolated groups continued to refer to themselves as Rusyns even after the majority of their people had begun to self-identify as Ukrainian. In this sense, Rusyns are similar to other [[borderland]] ethnicities, and their national awakening may be viewed by some as a negation of Ukrainian nationalism.{{Fact|date=February 2008}}

== Sockuppetry ==
Some scholars consider the [[Lemkos|Lemko]], [[Boyko]], [[Hutsuls|Hutsul]], Verkhovinetses (Verkhovyntsi, or Highlanders), and Dolinyanin (Haynal) ethnic groups to be Rusyn. As with the rest of the inhabitants of present-day Western Ukraine in the 19th century and first part of the 20th century, some of these peoples referred to themselves as Rusyns. However, some of these ethnic groups consider themselves to be separate ethnicities, while others claim to be Ukrainians and still others identify themselves as Rusyns. According to a recent Ukrainian census,<ref>[http://www.ukrcensus.gov.ua Всеукраїнський перепис населення 2001:<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> an overwhelming majority of Boykos, Lemkos, Hutsuls, Verkhovyntsi and Dolynians in Ukraine stated their nationality as being Ukrainian. About 10,100 people, or 0.8%, of Ukraine's [[Zakarpattia Oblast]] ([[Oblast|province]]) identified themselves as Rusyns; by contrast, 1,010,000 considered themselves Ukrainians.<ref name="ukraine"/> Research conducted by the University of Cambridge during the height of political Ruthenianism in the mid-1990s that focused on five specific regions within the [[Zakarpattian oblast]] with the strongest pro-Ruthenian cultural and political activism, found that only nine percent of the population claimed Rusyn ethnicity.<ref>[http://dev.eurac.edu:8085/mugs2/do/blob.pdf?type=pdf&serial=1036425198529 Political and Ethno-Cultural Aspects of the Rusyns’ problem: A Ukrainian Perspective] - by Natalya Belitser, Pylyp Orlyk Institute for Democracy, Kyiv, Ukraine</ref> These numbers may change with the further acceptance of Rusyn identity and the Rusyn language in educational systems in the area, but most present-day Ruthenians consider themselves to be Ukrainians.


I am NOT guilty of sockpuppetry...I have the right to edit pages.
The Rusyn national movement is much stronger among those Rusyn groups that became geographically separated from present-day Ukrainian territories, for example the Rusyn emigrants in the United States and Canada, as well as the Rusyns living within the borders of Slovakia. The 2001 census in Slovakia showed that 24,000 people considered themselves ethnically Rusyn while 11,000 considered themselves to be ethnically Ukrainian.<ref>[http://www.centroconsult.sk/Genealogy/census.html 2001 and 1991 Slovakian censuses]</ref> The [[Pannonian Rusyns]] in Serbia, who migrated there during the rule of the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]], also consider themselves to be Rusyns. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, some Rusyns resettled in [[Vojvodina]] (in present day Serbia), as well as in [[Slavonia]] (in present-day Croatia). Still other Rusyns migrated to the northern regions of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, although many Rusyns in Bosnia identify themselves as Ukrainians. Until the 1971 [[Yugoslavia|Yugoslav]] census, both Ukrainians ([[Serbian language|Serbian]]: Украјинци, [[Romanization|tr.]] ''Ukrajinci'') and Rusyns ([[Serbian language|Serbian]]: Русини, [[Romanization|tr.]] ''Rusini'') in these areas were recorded collectively as "Ruthenes". ''[[Podkarpatskije Rusiny]]'' is considered the Rusyn "national anthem", ''[[Ja Rusyn byl jesm' i budu]]'' the national song.


== IP apology ==
In March 2007 the Zakarpatian Regional Council [http://www.zakarpattya.net.ua/zol/loadnews.asp?id=6837&np=1] adopted a decision which recognized Rusyns as a separate national minority at the regional level. By the same decision the Zakarpatian Regional Council petitioned the Ukrainian central authorities to recognize Rusyns as an ethnic minority at the state level.
Historically, the [[Poland|Polish]] and [[Hungary|Hungarian]] states are considered to have contributed to the development of a Rusyn identity that is separate from that of other Ruthenians. Rusyns were recorded as a separate nationality by the censuses taken in pre-WWII Poland (see Cezary Chlebowski's ''Wachlarz''), Czechoslovakia and Hungary.


listen im sorry for doing that to the pages i wont do it again sorry

== XF Law ==
The question of when the Rusyns adopted [[Christianity]] (and who or what they worshipped before) is a source of some debate, but it clearly occurred prior to the [[East-West Schism|Great Schism]] between the [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] and [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]] churches in 1054. Many Rusyn churches are named after the [[Eastern Christianity|Eastern Christian]] [[saints]] [[Saint Cyril|Cyril]] and [[Saint Methodius|Methodius]], who are often referred to as the "Apostles to the Slavs."


Hi J.delanoy, sorry for a late response to this, I've been on a break the last few weeks. While this user now has rollback anyway, I would have said yes to granting the request. Best wishes. [[User:Acalamari|Acalamari]] 16:37, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
In 1994 the historian [[Paul Robert Magocsi]] stated that there were approximately 690,000 Carpatho-Rusyn church members in the United States, with 320,000 belonging to the largest [[Byzantine rite Catholic]] affiliations, 270,000 to the largest Orthodox affiliations, and 100,000 to various Protestant and other denominations.<ref>''Our People: Carpatho-Rusyns and Their Descendants in North America'', 1994.</ref>


=== Eastern Catholics ===
== RE: Your edits ==


Hi Techman!
Most Rusyns are [[Eastern Catholic Churches|Byzantine rite Catholics]], who since the [[Union of Brest]] in 1596 and the [[Union of Uzhhorod]] in 1646 have been united with the Catholic (Universal) Church under the spiritual leadership of the [[Pope]]. However, they have their own [[particular Church]], the [[Ruthenian Catholic Church]], and retain the [[Byzantine Rite]] liturgy in [[Old Slavonic]] and most of the outward forms of Byzantine or [[Eastern Christianity]].


I just wanted to let you know that I have been watching you, and all of your reversions that I looked seem good, as did your AIV reports. I think you may be a little overzealous with your UAA reports; you may want to read [[WP:USERNAME]] for a refresher, and please remember that UAA is only intended for ''blatant'' violations.
The Rusyns of the [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|former Yugoslavia]] are organized under the [[Eparchy of Krizevci]]. Those in the [[diaspora]] in the [[United States]] established the [[Byzantine Catholic Metropolitan Church of Pittsburgh]].


Basically, just keep up the good work with your reversions and AIV reports, and do take a minute to read the page I linked to!
According to [[Andy Warhol]], a Rusyn, the beginning of the film [[The Deer Hunter]] shows a Rusyn wedding.


Cheers!
=== Eastern Orthodox Church ===

Although originally associated with the [[Orthodox Church of Constantinople]], the affiliation of the [[Rusyn Orthodox Church]] was adversely affected by the [[Russian Revolution of 1917|Communist revolution]] in the Russian Empire and the subsequent [[Iron Curtain]] which split the Orthodox diaspora from the Orthodox believers living in the ancestral homelands. A number of emigré communities have claimed to continue the Orthodox tradition of the pre-revolution church while either denying or minimizing the validity of the church organization operating under Communist authority. For example, the [[Orthodox Church in America]] (OCA) was granted autocephalous (self-governing) status by the Moscow Patriarchate in 1970. Although approximately 25% of the OCA was Rusyn (referred to as "Ruthenian") in the early 1980s, an influx of Orthodox emigrés from other nations and new converts wanting to connect with the "early" church have lessened the impact of a particular Rusyn emphasis in favor of a new American Orthodoxy.

''Rusyn'' (also referred to as the Ruthenian language) is similar to the [[Slovak language]] and [[Ukrainian language]]; Ukrainian scholars consider ''Rusyn'' a dialect of Ukrainian, to the resentment of some Rusyns.


===Pannonian Rusyn===
== Question ==
{{main|Pannonian Rusyn language}}


Hi I have a question. The reason I'm asking you is because, being an administrator, you would know far more than myself or most editors. If you go to the [[King Kong vs Godzilla]] page and look under the "Legacy" section, the last paragraph talks about a script for sale (including a website link). Is it OK to leave that in there? It seems to me script solicitation on a Wikipedia page would violate some sort of policy or rule since it seems to be a form of advertising. Is that the case?[[User:Giantdevilfish|Giantdevilfish]] ([[User talk:Giantdevilfish|talk]]) 17:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
''Pannonian Rusyn'' has been granted official status and was codified in Serbian's province of [[Vojvodina]]. Since 1995, it has also been recognized and codified as a minority language in Slovakia (in those areas comprising at least 20% Rusyns). The Rusyn language in Vojvodina, however, shares many similarities with Slovak, and is sometimes considered a separate (micro)language, sometimes a dialect of Slovak.

Great. Thanks for the reply. It just seemed wrong to me for someone to use an online encyclopedia to advertise a script, but I just wanted to make sure that was the case which is why I asked.

== Buckshot (Rapper) cousin Stones ==

What's up J. Delanoy I see you've made extensive contributions to the rappers Buckshot bio page and I was wondering if you could and would help me create a decent page for his cousin Stones. I have extensive information on him and was wondering why the wiki site does not feature any article of him considering him and buckshot has appeared in photos, footage, and events with each other not to mention he has co-signs from Brownsville legends such as Smoothe da hustler along with Buck and I think he is also close with St. Laz who's another up and coming Brownsville emcee that's not feautured on this site. I would love to make a page for those two but considering that I am new to this site I don't know how to with out it being deleted from the site within a matter of days. If need be you can check out either one of their myspace pages for some information of your own ,myspace/STONESMUZIK and myspace/STLAZPOTTERSFIELD. I would be very greatful if you were to help me because if you too are a lover of hip hop I know you can tell that Brownsville emcees are some of the most potent from M.O.P. to Heltah Skeltah, AZ and even some of the WU Members.

== Vandalism originating from 216.56.60.210 ==

I noticed that you recently left a warning to [[User talk:216.56.60.210|216.56.60.210]] regarding vandalism. The same anonymous user, just prior to that, removed all the previous (multiple) warnings from their talk page. I'm unfamiliar with the protocol for this situation, as I do not want to remove your warning in order to restore the previous ones, and I suspect that the nature of your warning will change once that user's talk page has been restored. So, I'm kind of dropping it in your lap, hoping that I will one day be able to better handle similar situations myself. Thanks so much for your help.

I don't mean to butt in here, but whether its a copyrighted script or not, the site still lists it as being solicited for sale. If this script was sold and in production then fine.

== Question ==

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)

:Thanks a lot for your answers mate. If I have more questions about the vandal fighter thingamabobs, I'll be sure ask you :)

: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.''".

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.

== Latest Amande Dobbs update ==

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''' [[Special:Contributions/75.25.28.167|75.25.28.167]] ([[User talk: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. :/ [[User:J.delanoy|<font color="green">J'''.'''delanoy</font>]][[User Talk:J.delanoy|<sup><font color="red">gabs</font></sup>]][[Special:Contributions/J.delanoy|<font color="blue"><sub>adds</sub></font>]] 20:56, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

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.

== 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 [[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

--[[User:QuadrivialMind|QuadrivialMind]] ([[User talk: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 [[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.
: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!

Thanks for that. That was...er...kinda scary that they knew my full name etc. Cheers again —— RyanLupin • (talk) 21:55, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

I see he's using a dynamic IP to harass you now :| —— RyanLupin • (talk) 22:51, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, that IP kinda freaked me out so until he stops with the scary harassment, I think it should stay deleted. Thanks —— RyanLupin • (talk) 23:11, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Why on earth do I keep attracting attention from the wrong people? o_O Thanks again ——Possum (talk) 15:36, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I didn't react at all in this instance, instead I continued to revert as normal. It was only when the harasser guy started texting/emailing me when I started to get panicky ——Possum (talk) 15:56, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
No, the guy threatening legal action I'm pretty sure was just a troll and he's left me be. I was referring to my dramatic behaviour back when I was harassed. I received text messages, phonecalls, emails etc. That's why I asked for my userpage be deleted. I'm just saying, I don't always react badly, only if there's a good reason XD ——Possum (talk) 16:00, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Oh believe me the police have been informed (see diff) but British Police being British Police have done nothing thus far. Ho hum :) ——Possum (talk) 16:13, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Sockuppetry

I am NOT guilty of sockpuppetry...I have the right to edit pages.

IP apology

listen im sorry for doing that to the pages i wont do it again sorry

Hi J.delanoy, sorry for a late response to this, I've been on a break the last few weeks. While this user now has rollback anyway, I would have said yes to granting the request. Best wishes. Acalamari 16:37, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

RE: Your edits

Hi Techman!

I just wanted to let you know that I have been watching you, and all of your reversions that I looked seem good, as did your AIV reports. I think you may be a little overzealous with your UAA reports; you may want to read WP:USERNAME for a refresher, and please remember that UAA is only intended for blatant violations.

Basically, just keep up the good work with your reversions and AIV reports, and do take a minute to read the page I linked to!

Cheers!

Thanks. Techman224 (talk) 17:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Question

Hi I have a question. The reason I'm asking you is because, being an administrator, you would know far more than myself or most editors. If you go to the King Kong vs Godzilla page and look under the "Legacy" section, the last paragraph talks about a script for sale (including a website link). Is it OK to leave that in there? It seems to me script solicitation on a Wikipedia page would violate some sort of policy or rule since it seems to be a form of advertising. Is that the case?Giantdevilfish (talk) 17:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Great. Thanks for the reply. It just seemed wrong to me for someone to use an online encyclopedia to advertise a script, but I just wanted to make sure that was the case which is why I asked. Cheers!Giantdevilfish (talk) 18:12, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Buckshot (Rapper) cousin Stones

What's up J. Delanoy I see you've made extensive contributions to the rappers Buckshot bio page and I was wondering if you could and would help me create a decent page for his cousin Stones. I have extensive information on him and was wondering why the wiki site does not feature any article of him considering him and buckshot has appeared in photos, footage, and events with each other not to mention he has co-signs from Brownsville legends such as Smoothe da hustler along with Buck and I think he is also close with St. Laz who's another up and coming Brownsville emcee that's not feautured on this site. I would love to make a page for those two but considering that I am new to this site I don't know how to with out it being deleted from the site within a matter of days. If need be you can check out either one of their myspace pages for some information of your own ,myspace/STONESMUZIK and myspace/STLAZPOTTERSFIELD. I would be very greatful if you were to help me because if you too are a lover of hip hop I know you can tell that Brownsville emcees are some of the most potent from M.O.P. to Heltah Skeltah, AZ and even some of the WU Members. Thank you in advance, Peace. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HipHopDoc (talk • contribs) 19:38, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism originating from 216.56.60.210

I noticed that you recently left a warning to 216.56.60.210 regarding vandalism. The same anonymous user, just prior to that, removed all the previous (multiple) warnings from their talk page. I'm unfamiliar with the protocol for this situation, as I do not want to remove your warning in order to restore the previous ones, and I suspect that the nature of your warning will change once that user's talk page has been restored. So, I'm kind of dropping it in your lap, hoping that I will one day be able to better handle similar situations myself. Thanks so much for your help. Steamroller Assault (talk) 00:57, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey Steamroller, this popped up on my watchlist and I thought I'd help out. Users (and anons) are free to remove items from their own talk pages, per this guideline, however doing so is taken as evidence that they have read and understood the messages, and little of the same vandalism is generally tolerated. Hope this helps. – Toon(talk) 01:23, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't mean to butt in here, but whether its a copyrighted script or not, the site still lists it as being solicited for sale. If this script was sold and in production then fine. But its a script being shopped around. That seems to me to be a form of advertsing as in trying to sell a script.Giantdevilfish (talk) 04:44, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Not only that, but the text is badly written even if it weren't advertising. The two links are the same, it's badly punctuated, the number of pages is unnecessary detail, and it's generally unencyclopedic. —KCinDC (talk) 04:55, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

For your great amount of vandal reverting and vandal fighting. I'd also like to thank you for reverting the vandalism done to my userpage and blocking the individual that had done so. DiverseMentality(Boo!) 23:40, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

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)

Rianxo

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)

Thanks for the revert. But the IP went to a different one 76.92.185.166 and reverted your edit back to theirs. Rgoodermote  00:35, 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)

about.com

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)

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)

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. J.delanoygabsadds 16:54, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

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.

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)
I just found and filled out a request for account form with my email, but it will not be submitted until I confirm. Would it be faster to have you create the account and how do I send you my email without posting it? I thank you for researching the four day waiting period and hope you can find someway to waive it.

Stalking

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 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.  Frank  |  talk  18:13, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

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.)
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. (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. (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 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)

Offer to Erik

Hi J.d, saw your nice offer to Erik the Red on my talk. YOu might want to leave him a note on his own talk as I'm not sure he's watching me. Have a good weekend! TravellingCari 13:25, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

RE:

I have been trying to use the newest version, but I'm encountering the big problem (see link). Thanks for the reply, however, as I will look out for those problems when the problem is fixed. Montgomery' 39 (talk) 15:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Are you going to make a move already? :-) Tan | 39 18:22, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, I guess you gotta be quick to make a move! Tan | 39 18:40, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: this edit and this warning. It seems to me that your mouse must have hit the wrong edit or something. The IP reverted this vandalism, and you re-instated it. I've taken the liberty of removing the warning you mistakenly gave the IP, and warning User talk:Oliviamaskof instead. -- Zsero (talk) 18:28, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you're right. Thanks. J.delanoygabsadds 18:29, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
