IP voting

Are IPs allowed to cast support votes? I ask because of this. Thanks xenocidic (talk) 12:25, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

My reply here

k Thanks. I wasn't sure if the (!) was intended to stand for a negative (I.e. IP's are not allowed to negatively vote). xenocidic (talk) 15:41, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Lady Aleena's RfA

Useight...Thank you for supporting my nomination for adminship. Through it I have become aware of a great many people who can help me in my future editing endeavors. Even though I was not promoted, your support shows that I still have something to contribute to Wikipedia, even if it is minor edits to fix spelling and grammar to working in WikiProjects to help others make great articles. If you wish to further discuss the nomination, please use its talk page. Stop by my talk page anytime, even if it is just to say hello. Have a wonderful day! - LA @ 04:03, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you from Horologium

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed unanimously with the support of 100 editors. Your kindness is very much appreciated.

Admin coaches

Hey, I have been thinking about what I want to do next and I think that an admin coach would be a great help. If it is not too much trouble, can you recommend any admins that you might know quite well? Londonfella (talk) 12:08, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Binayak Sen - POV tag

Please see

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOVD#What_is_an_NPOV_dispute.3F

"If you add the above code to an article which seems to be biased to you, but there is no prior discussion of the bias, you need to at least leave a note on the article's talk page describing what you consider unacceptable about the article. The note should address the problem with enough specificity to allow constructive discussion towards a resolution, such as identifying specific passages, elements, or phrasings that are problematic."

This guidance about "enough specificity" appears to be ignored by the user who added the POV code to the "Binayak Sen" article. Please ensure that this guidance is observed before allowing the POV code to be added.

Thanks

Admin coaching

Can you tell me what I should do to start down the path of becoming an administrator on this site please? I already know that I have to be fairly versed in the policies, so if you could point me towards the specific policies that administrators have to know, that would be a great start. Also, I know that I have to create/write and help out articles as well, so do you have any ideas on what I should write about? Please also respond to this on my talk page. Thanks, Razorflame 20:43, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

My reply here

Is it good to participate in AfD and IfD's? I am pretty sure that it is always a good thing to participate in these pages, and am completely willing to spend a lot of time on those pages (that is, if they are small enough(my internet has a hard time loading large pages(over 40kbs))). Cheers, Razorflame 01:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

If what I wanted to say has already been said by another user previously, should I not vote in that particular AfD, or should I say the same thing that other people have said? Cheers, Razorflame 01:48, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

New project

Why did you remove your comment?

I was mulling it over. I am most active in WP:GAC as an editor. I also produce a lot of quality articles in general and could be queried on pursuit of editorial excellence although I am not involved in WP:LOCE. I am fairly active in a variety of forms of WP:FC, but am not really a specialist in any one thing. I am not sure where I am needed, but my current goals are to keep WP:CHICAGO alive, get WP:LOTM approved and get at least one Republican (Jack Kemp) and one Democrat (Jesse Jackson, Jr. or Jon Corzine) to WP:FA level.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:15, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Erm, I've added details, I'd like my active time in UTC to be added, but I'm unsure how to convert my time to UTC. Could you have a look at my recent contribs and add it for me?

Re:Highly active

Hello, thankyou for the message. Yes, I would like to help new users as much as possible, but what constitues highly active in your opinion? Currently a college student, and then moving onto drama school next year, I am always busy in real life and can only edit at certain times of day. Does this fit or not fit your criteria? Lradrama 09:26, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

User:Naerii/example

I thought it might be worth condensing it into subpages to make it clearer for newbies to find the help they need - an example of how I thought it might look is here. What do you think? :) -- Naerii 17:57, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

My reply here

It occurs to me that a more useful version of this might be listing highly active editors by language. -- Naerii 18:32, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

My reply here

Hmm, good point, maybe not. My main concern is that some of the tables are pretty huge and a new user might have to do lots of searching to find someone who has knowledge in the area that they require. I'll have to think about this :). It might also be an idea to ask people to not add themselves willy nilly, if the list gets too large it will be pretty difficult to maintain and will lose some of it's usefulness. -- Naerii 18:40, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikiprojects

I have a question about Wikiprojects. Can you find me some Wikiprojects that would be good matches based on this information:

• I like Geology and Minerals.
• I like manga.
• I like Scrabble.
• I like Go.
• I like Physics (general only)
• I like Math (general only)
• I like Geography and I like Switzerland and Romania.

Please reply on my talk page.

By the way, I got my userpage all stylized now. Do you like the design? Cheers, Razorflame 17:59, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

(unindenting) Thank you for the list of links to Wikiprojects that I might like. I've already joined up with the Wikiproject Go and am going to join up with a few of the other WikiProjects that you listed in that post. By chance, is there some sort of WikiProject for people who love to copyedit articles for grammar and spelling? If there is, could you let me know on my talk page?

I did not see myself listed, but please remove me if I am listed. It does sound like a very ambitious project, but I have my hands full helping other people with WikiProject Featured Topic drives, Featured Portal drives, and the like. Thanks for thinking of me, Cirt (talk) 19:07, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I filled out the information you required, found here. I would be honored to have my name included on that list. --Sharkface^T/_C 19:12, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

My thanks for considering me for your list. There are a number of reasons - with your permission I won't go into them - that I probably wouldn't be a good source of information for new editors, so I'm going to beg off. I do appreciate the thought, though. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ^{(talk / cont)} 22:01, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

The list sounds like a great idea! I've added my info. Might I suggest a few more oceanian editors who might be willing to be added: User:Kahuroa, User:XLerate, and User:Good Olfactory in NZ and User:JackofOz in Australia. Kahu is one of our top resident Maori/Polynesian experts, XL is a whiz with infoboxes, G.O. works a lot on categories, and Jack is one of the regulars at the reference desk. And I'm pretty sure they'd all be only too willing to help out any newbies with queries. Grutness...wha? 01:27, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

My reply here

I added my info out there, I have also been working on a Subject Matter Expertise page (its a long way from being done) if you want to take a look at it.--Kumioko (talk) 16:42, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

What do you think of the quality of my rollbacks? Cheers, Razorflame 15:29, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

My reply here

Does that mean that my rollbacks are not being used appropriately? If that is the case, don't be afraid to tell me.

I've left several messages onto this user's talk page about his agreement to co-coach and even though he is online at the time, it looks like he is ignoring my posts to his talk page. Cheers, Razorflame 15:21, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I haven't had a chance to look at your edits yet. I haven't agreed to take you on yet, but to consider it. I wasn't going to look at your edits/history until/unless it was ok with your primary coach. Adding new coachees is not a top priority. I still have two new RfA's to review (WBOSITG and Copertwig), a nom in the works, a current RfA nom on the system, and 4 current coachees (including a new one). Not to mention work or other involvement in the project. When I take a coachee on, I generally spend 2-4 hours reviewing their history/edits so that I know who/what they are.Balloonman (talk) 15:36, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

He had already said that it was OK. I said so and gave you the difference on your talk page. Cheers, Razorflame 15:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Sounds like Balloonman is extraordinarily busy at the moment and may not be able to take you on as a coachee. Useight (talk) 15:46, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

the deletion tag has been on this page for the required 5 days; i was just looking for an online administrator to delete it. care to do the honours? Ironholds (talk) 21:03, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

My reply here

As far as i know there's no list of online administrators (if there is, i'd be interested to know about it for future use) so i had to do a little detective work. In my experience, the FA for a day gets the crap spammed out of it due to it being the first thing that comes across the screeen of those pituitary retards we call vandals. So i looked at the edit history, looked at the people doing the reverting and went for the latest one who was an admin. Ironholds (talk) 21:12, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Nice, didnt know about this! what you could do is have a bot going through the "recent changes" list that sorts by number of edits/user type (admin/bc/so on). What language are the wikibots programmed in? Ironholds (talk) 21:23, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
