The University of Texas at Austin

Thanks for you input a few days ago while I was tweaking the UT article. I'm thinking about putting it up for peer review soon, and I'm planning on continuing work on it until it gets featured article status; after all, there aren't too many education-related FAs, save for the UMich article. However, I recently removed the 'impact on Austin' section, and merged the RTF content into 'Student life.' I'd like to see if this is okay with you, or if you had any other suggestions before I take the next step. Thanks, and hook 'em! -Rebelguys2 16:20, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

3RR

Please note that user:Flavius Aetius have violated the 3RR in his deletion of the discussion of the Ken Mehlman talk page. Can you please report him? --Asbl 20:11, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

• 20 lashes with a wet noodle for Katefan0, however, for violating one of my new pet peeves.  :) Wikibofh 21:39, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Johntex

Hey Kate, I noticed recently that Johntex hasn't edited any articles since Nov 11th, 3 weeks time. JW if you knew anything. I sent him an email a few days ago, but he didn't respond. Let me know. We could really use him for this University of Texas at Austin review that we're doing. -Scm83x 23:11, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

I really do hope he comes back sometime during the (I'm sure soon to begin) PR for UT Austin. Have you heard the spoken article reading that Rebelguys2 did for Hook 'em Horns? -Scm83x 23:33, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

peer review for University of Texas at Austin

Hey Kate. I started the peer review process for the University of Texas at Austin article. I've totally redone the history section, and Scm83x and I just went over the entire article with a fine-tooth comb. Thanks. -Rebelguys2 12:29, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Hiya K! You might not have noticed but the St. John Lateran is located at the Italian version of its name, thanks to a four person vote in April, even though English speakers worldwide (except in the US) don't use the Italian version of the name. I've proposed a vote to move the page back to its original location. It is at Talk:Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano. Please drop in and vote FearÉIREANN\^(caint) 05:22, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

P-A

You are going to have to revert me. I reverted to zen master after you went back to consensus. Sorry. Happened at virtually the same time. We might need protection again. I'm getting confused as to which version is what. Make this end. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 20:52, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Your little poll

I didn't see it until I found the neat tool that shows all of the pages in someone's userspace. And then I went "poll". Frankly dear, if you can make you know who go away from P-A (no not that one. the other one), I'll do anything you want. ;-) My head is going to explode. So. painful. lol --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 22:44, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Charles Whitman

Kate, I need your administrative help with the Charles Whitman article. Subwayjack (talk) has started blanking anything he doesn't agree with and has now blanked the main article.

I'm turning to you because civilty has failed.

Oh, and it's also very possible that 68.187.194.251 (talk) — a user that has repeatedly vandalized the article — is Subwayjack. This I don't know for sure, though. jareha 18:55, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Heads up: Subwayjack has once again blanked sections throughout the article. jareha 18:31, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

And again. Apologies for bringing this mess to your plate Kate. jareha 18:50, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Can Subwayjack and 68.187.194.251 blank their own talk pages? I imagine not, but am not entirely sure. (Subwayjack's user talk blanking. 68.187.194.251's user talk blanking.)

Also, Subwayjack has blanked Talk:Charles Whitman. At the minumum shouldn't that page be archived? jareha 07:21, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Post on ANI instead of RFP

Oops. Thanks for pointing that out! - Trysha ^(talk) 20:19, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

All I can say is...

Wowsers! [1]. What I find funny is that Jimbo often gets comments on his talk page saying that he never interacts with the community. It's like...ummmm...it's about all he does. :-D --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 03:03, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

And I wonder. Does Jimbo have admin powers? ;-) --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 03:47, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Curious

Are you an alumni of Space Camp? Or were you just reminiscing about the movie? - orioneight (talk) 18:08, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Actually, yes I attended Advanced Space Academy twice. Man those were good times! One year I was a pilot and another year I was a Mission Specialist. We did the SCUBA training in the big tank which was fun, since I'd never done SCUBA'd before. We also did a really long mission (like 6 hours?) which was even more fun. *sigh* miss those days. I made a lot of friends down there though, and a lot of them I still talk to today. — orioneight (talk) 18:18, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

RfAr against Ben is live

Just letting you know that I opened the RfAr on Benjamin Gatti. Please comment so we can get this case opened ASAP. Comment here. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 12:33, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

And don't worry about me. Wikiproject Syntax is live again so I'll work on that when things get rough, which they will. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 12:51, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

3RR at Texas A&M University

Hey Kate. I hate to seem like I'm running to the nearest admin, but there has been a 3RR violation at Texas A&M University by User:70.122.115.2. Please see diffs here, here, and here. I have attempted to get this user to comment about the matter on the talk page to no avail [2] [3]. Thank you for any assistance you may be able to lend in this matter. -Scm83x 17:49, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Sorry to bug you. This is the first time I've dealt with 3RR. I've already made two reverts, so do I need to wait for someone else to revert his edit? I will let you know if he changes it again. Thanks. -Scm83x 17:55, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

More vandal fun!

Hi there. Can you please take action against User:207.217.218.1. It seems like as open-and-shut a case as we're going to get with an anon user, but anyway, you decide. I posted more info at Wikipedia:Vandalism_in_progress/IP_Moderate#December_2005, though I think they'll have to set fire to the Wikipedia server room before they get notice taken there :) Fourohfour 23:38, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Price-Anderson Unprotected Again

PAA was unprotected this morning. Dmcdevit knows. Simesa 13:27, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Just a random thanks

Thanks for sticking around to help keep Charles Whitman half-way respectable, appreciate it when people don't just voice an opinion and run off. I can't even tell how many anonymous and IP-only users we're dealing with, and while subwayjack has calmed down somewhat, egad...he has a violently different image of the event than the "mainstream", it seems. Anyways, just wanted to let you know your work is noticed and appreciated :) Sherurcij ^{(talk) (bounties)} 20:56, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Just so you know

If you'd like, you can wikilink hook 'em from your user page. We have an article on it. :) --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 16:32, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

I linked it for ya. You're welcome. :) --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 16:37, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

It's in the gestures article too. :) --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 16:55, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Template:CopyrightedFreeUseProvided

Hi Recent changes have been made to this template that are not clearly explained on the discussion page and whose purpose is unclear. (I understand you have an interest). The main issue for me is that the changed format now trashes the licence information which defeats the purpose of this template. I dont want to get into an edit war with the originators. I have found a work around in the format {{Template name | Licence details }}. However in my view somebody needs to put some instructions into the template to indicate this work around for people want to use it. --Sf 14:41, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Ms. Katefan0,

In re: personal references to Lavergne. I would have preferred that it be deleted from all pages in the history, but if that is the best that can be done, Thank you anyway.

Sorry to bother you

Would appreciate your help dealing with a troll, since I see you're online at the moment, and I've reached my personl 3RR limit on Beslan school hostage crisis where User:Absent (check his userpage) insists on ignoring consensus and logic, and claiming that the Chechens are "Islamic Jihadist terrorists", citing the fact that Bashayev has a beard similar to Osama bin Laden and Khomeni, and other nonsensical arguments. I've reported him for breaking 3RR, but since that's only a 24 hour block, I would appreciate if you were also able (As a SysOp, which perhaps will add some weight) say something on the talk page, or otherwise deal with it. Sorry to waste your time, I promise not to turn you into my pet admin :P Sherurcij ^{(talk) (bounties)} (see also his Contributions, of which every single one has been reverted as spreading POV, or worse, lies, about Islam...anyways, not sure whether "troll" is a bannable offence or not)

Neutrality

Kate:

Thank you for your comments. I apologize if I offended you or made the situation worse than it already was. That was never my intention and I like to think I learned a great deal about Wikipedia from that experience and am a better Wikiepdian for it. I made mistakes and for that I am sorry. No hard feelings for your neutral vote. It was very well articulated and I was not surprised that it came up (see my answer to number 3). Thanks again and have a good one!Gator (talk) 18:14, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Oops, maybe I should have read my talk page before responding. Thank you for notifying me personally that's decent of you. Once again, I understand your hesitation. I knew that that whole debacle was my biggest obstancle for becoming an admin and I've been trying hard to prove that I've learned and changed from the experience. Thank you for not voting oppose and if you need more time for me to prove myself for you to ever vote support, that makes perfect sense. Thanks again!Gator (talk) 18:20, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks again for reverting vandalism on my talk page. I appreciate it.Gator (talk) 00:16, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Zatanna

It seems SoM, 65.98.21.69, DrBat, 65.110.6.40 and Rsffblcb from Hell didn't feel like talking about the article. Only Phil Sandifer made his point there. So, end of story? Will the article be unlocked now? 200.162.245.104 20:44, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Great...

Now you have other editos advertising your ridiculous poll. (Phil Welch) You really are influential. Cheers. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 21:54, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, Kate

Thank you Kate, but I should tell you that I will not be looking to get into conflicts ONLY to prove that I can do well in them. I know I can but won't put myself in uncomfortable situations like that only to become an admin. If I find myself in them I will handle them fine. But you won't fine me prowling around the RFC pages just to jump into a fight. I wont avoid them either. I admit I am a little more gun shy about being bold since the BD thing, but I will get involved if I think I can be of some help. I appreciate your openmindedness and respectful notice. You're a class act.Gator (talk) 21:40, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Uh oh!

New cleanup project! :-) Neglected articles. Maybe we should clone ourselves. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 04:04, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

I came across this article, and don't know how to tag it. Cleanup? Stub? Simesa 01:26, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[4] Be still my heart. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 19:08, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

LOL! I blocked him on the 10th for a month but apparently that odd software quirk came into play since I hadn't stopped the last one month block. Oh well. Doing 3 this time. I also protected the IP pages. As if he has anything to do with this lawsuit. I know I'm shaking in my shoes. :) --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 19:29, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you...

...for the excellent CatsNeeded template/ message box. I added it to my own userpage and will soon be personalising it there with a picture of one of my own six cats, but I also wanted to express my appreciation to you for doing the initial work. P.MacUidhir (t) (c) 01:30, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Mistress Selina Kyle

Mistress Selina Kyle keeps on reverting the image that was voted on. --DrBat 19:26, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

It was put to a vote, and those users didn't vote. --DrBat 19:29, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Everytime I try to reply, I end up deleting the text somehow. :o Since you yourself said that the consensus was to keep the Bolland image, can't you change it? --DrBat 19:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Can I take a moment to point out that DrBat is well aware of the 3RR, since he's been blocked at least twice over it, once over the Zatanna article itself (and was reported a second time over Zatanna for another violation two days later but not blocked) [5] [6] - SoM 19:49, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, you're right. I had actually already blocked him after realizing he'd been blocked a few times before for 3RR. · Katefan0^(scribble)/mrp 20:13, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

The consensus was to keep Bolland's image. They are not respecting the deal. 200.162.245.104 20:09, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Can't you protect the article keeping the original image (Bolland's) on it? There're just not being reasonable... so they are minority in a consensus and just decide to start all the mess again?? I cannot see where this is fair for majority who discussed and voted. 200.162.245.104 20:31, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

No. I make no judgment myself on what image is better than the other and I will not reverse my protection. I protected it at the point at which I saw that edit warring was going on again, without prejudice to who had edited last. Now that SoM has made it clear he prefers the other image, the consensus is not as strong as it was before; folks have to now come together to try to find some middle ground. · Katefan0^(scribble)/mrp 20:33, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

So this it? We gonna have a new discussion so that they can keep their favourite image this time? What if they loose again? A new mess in the article until its got protected again and a new discussion. So it goes on and on? What are we? Clowns? Now I see... the answer to be heard in here is not being reasonable, discussing subjects... but making mess, vandalizing articles, imposing preferences. Great. Do whatever you want, I'm outta here. 200.162.245.104 20:45, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

As you like. My advice to you is to spend your time and energy trying to find a middle ground on the article's talk page instead of griping on my talk page. · Katefan0^(scribble)/mrp 20:48, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

My advice to you is to spend your time and energy trying to be a better administrator. The users just don't respect your actions. This Foner user -- who seems to be a new Mistress Selina Kyle id -- is trying to difame me in several articles concerning Administrators. And how she's doing this? Evading YOUR block. She just don't give a damn. 200.162.245.104 21:15, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I can't try to help a situation if I don't know about it. Telling me by saying I need to be a "better administrator" isn't the best way to proceed. · Katefan0^(scribble)/mrp 21:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes user:Fones is being very disruptive removing tags, alerts, etc. and should be blocked temporarily while sock check is done. Kate is this possible? --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 21:24, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I can't really block this person for being a sockpuppet without definitive proof, and unfortunately there's no definitive proof in the absence of checkuser, which I can't perform. I can look at this user's contributions and see if they've committed any blockable offenses, however, which I'll do now. Thanks for letting me know. · Katefan0^(scribble)/mrp 21:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

User:Fones has been annoying, but hasn't really violated any policies that would result in a block. The closest he's come is edit warring on the two Zatanna pictures. If he reverts once more it'll mean a block, but not until then. Let me know if that happens, but keep in mind that I'm getting ready to leave for vacation tomorrow morning and will be busy this evening, so don't be offended if I don't respond right away. · Katefan0^(scribble)/mrp 22:13, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

FYI - Libya

The Libyans apparently have moved the Supreme Court hearing of the Bulgarian nurses up to December 25th (Christmas Eve). If the nurses are executed, it could mean war, and Bulgaria is in NATO now. Trial of five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor in Libya. I thought a reporter would be interested. Simesa 20:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey

As soon as the first user was blocked the other was created to start edit warring. A sockcheck will be done as they are both likely sockpuppets of a banned user. Thanks. --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 21:09, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. Yes, I will tell you if anything new happens. Have a good trip. --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 22:26, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Sockpuppet check

Based on the technical evidence, it is entirely possible, but not conclusively proven, that Mistress Selina Kyle is Chaosfeary. Fones is not. Jayjg ^(talk) 00:59, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Comandante

I notice you have blocked him before - Comandante is replacing "terrorist" with "militant" in articles where he doesn't think they go (and subtly biasing), and many have gone undetected. It goes back several months, I may go back and fix many of them. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Comandante JG of Borg 02:26, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Semi protection is live!

Yipee! GWB is the first article with it applied. For now, all I did was split the "real articles" section into 2 (full and semi) on WP:PP. Should suffice for now. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 08:36, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Btw, just so you know, the new protection interface is a bit funky. :) Just a tip..."default" is completely unprotected. That threw me at first. To unprotect, you have to actually set it to default. Just hitting the button doesn't do the trick. It's great though that the protection log now comes up automatically. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 12:51, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

RFAr evidence

I noticed that in the RFAr against Benjamin Gatti, you cited wikipedia:Wikiblower protection and his attempts to place an AFD on an AFD as evidence. I think a number of his edits to the discussion page, wikipedia talk:Wikiblower protection are also strong evidence in a case against Benjamin Gatti. Since you're a party to the arbitration already and have already brought up that page, I wondered if you'd like to be the one to pick a diff or two as evidence; otherwise, I've got no problem creating a section and listing a few as evidence. It's all I could contribute, though; I don't recall having had many other dealings with him. The Literate Engineer 05:50, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Wikibreak time

Read User:Woohookitty. I've had enough of being told I'm things I'm not. Time for a change. But. Be assured. I'm coming back. And I plan on "tidying up" whatever I've gotten into before I resign my adminship or whatever I decide to do. If you have any thoughts on my post to my user page, email me. Your counsel is always appreciated. I just feel like I'm about to burn out so much that I leave the project. I don't want that to happen. I'm not leaving. Ever. :) --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 10:36, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Btw, could you put my talk page on your watchlist? Friggin' Gibraltarian keeps vandalising it. Not sure why he thinks that if yells at me enough times, I'll unblock him. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 19:54, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Well I'm back

Didn't that last long? :) I've made some decisions. The chief one is that I am no longer doing NPOV disputes. They are just too draining on me. I'm taking P-A off of my watchlist as well as anything involving Ben and zen except for the proposed decision page on Ben's arbcom. If people ask me to help with CyclePat or whatever, they are going to get a polite "no thanks". For now I'm just going to do some vandal fighting (though less than I was before) and protection stuff, which I find somewhat rewarding. And I'm going to concentrate on wikifying more, which is what I used to do. We'll see how it works. I don't want to leave. I love the project and I like helping, but I think that NPOV disputes just get me too riled up. I'm too emotional and passionate of a fella for them. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 06:23, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

If you want to know how involved I was in POV disputes, I just went from 58 pages on my watchlist to 28. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 06:38, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Thats too many. I find one is a challenge, but 30? Make sure you enjoy what you are doing. Sandpiper 20:06, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Up for article collab?

I'd like to create an article that discusses the various ways Texas can be classified and why as well as why some areas of Texas object to certain regional classifications as well as the idea that Texas is a region unto itself. It is ceratinly an idea that has relevance to Texans, and while there are some indiduval comparasons and discusion there is no holistic treatment of the subject that I can find. I have been noticing that there are wikipedians who have published works who are allowed to refrerence, cite, and encorporate element of those works into wikipedia articles—most notably Pakistani diplomat Ahmad Kamal's recent edits to cybersecurity citing and incorporating elements of his recently published UN commisioned report on the same topic. I know of a few regional magizines who might be willing to publish an article on the regional classification of Texas and I would like to collaborate with you on writing one. Such an article could be useful to various Texas and US regional articles, and an article on the Regional classification of Texas itself would be an interesting subject given the interplay of politcs, history, culture, and geography. Please let me know soon and have a terrific Texas Christmas with your family. Thanks. -JCarriker 10:33, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

It will be some time before I can start on the wikiarticle. Please let me know if anything changes in terms of the off-site collaboration, without a degree the only real hope I have at publishing something in a serious publication is by working with someone else. Thanks. -JCarriker 18:03, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Just can't win

Please check out some edits by this anon. He's destroying psychiatry-related articles and being pretty offensive. Francesca Allan of MindFreedomBC 04:31, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Collective nouns

Hey Katefan, I am sorry to bother you with this, but I have to because I know you are an expert on the usage of grammar and style. I am trying to explain to User:Fritz Saalfeld that the name of a band is a collective entity and therefore is singular. Since X number of members make up one band. For example, "New Radicals was an American rock band" not "New Radicals were an American rock band." Also the user keeps on saying that it should be plural because the name of the band is plural. I am not good at explaining things so can you help me out by explaining this to him and/or enlighten me further. You can find the conversation at both of mine and his talk pages. Thanks!

CyclePat is at it again

Just out of interest I was wondering what you hope to achieve out of the RFArb against Benjamin Gatti? --Chazz88 22:55, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Happy New Year to you too!

Happy New Years! Anyway, as for leaving, I have my leaving page all ready. I am just fed up with everything and I'm ready to split. I do appreciate your support and your friendship, but honestly, I've lost faith in the project. I just endured a ridiculous series of attacks by gibnews on AN/I plus CyclePat plus Ben. It just all seems pointless to me. Just completely pointless. I'm not making a difference nor can I. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 06:20, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

RE: New Radicals lead

According to Singular and plural for nouns "Proper nouns which are plural in form take a plural verb in both American and British English." They even give "The Beatles are a well-known band." as an example being correct in both BE and AE. New Radicals is plural, even if it's one group (compare New York Yankees, The Supremes, The Muppets etc.). Thus, it'd have to be "The New Radicals were" --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 16:50, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

There isn't really an edit war going on here. It's just that the changes seemed wrong to me - especially as most other articles, even on American topics such as the ones I pointed out above, use these proper nouns as plural with "were" and according to the Wiki article I linked above only "were" would be correct in AE - and I asked RJN why he made them... --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 16:57, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Ben is at it again

Once again, he has written in other people's evidence sections. I put a request in to Raul to warn Ben. I'd warn him but I'm sure he'd complain that I was abusing power or something. Just letting you know. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 17:47, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Read your email. :) Just sent ya one. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 17:53, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Here is Raul talking to Ben about his infractions and of course, Ben is playing Wikilawyer. Sometimes I think he wants to be blocked. I don't get it. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 22:44, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Btw, dmc has put some good stuff on the Workshop page. Comment please. He added Wikilawyering and a couple of other things. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 10:11, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

oops, sorry, thanks
