The only reason you have given for the worthinness of that piece of news if that -Pat Robertson- was on ITN (which many Wikipedians also agreed with). The top international new items today seem to be the hurricane, the Iraqi constitution, the Japanese election and the threat of resumption of conflict in the Congo. Some minor Australia politican being a racist is not suitable for the main page and your actions did seem to violate WP:POINT.--[[User:Petaholmes|nixie]] 04:03, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Ril Group-New Violation-Authentic Matthew

Did I do the the right thing?

--Melissadolbeer 08:20, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Your assistance would be appreciated.

Given I'm not entirely certain what to do, now, with a personal-attack-fest I've stumbled into with User:IZAK. Would you mind reviewing the discussion at both this VfD and his talk, and give me an idea as to what Wikipedians're supposed to do in such situations? (I've been looking for assistance two days now, and just stumbled across an old RfC relevant to this dispute. Your name was listed in support, if curious as to how I ended up here.)

User:Ta bu shi da yu/Focus article

Is it appropriate for this page to be protected?
brenneman(t)(c) 07:19, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. - Ta bu shi da yu 07:42, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote:

It was being vandalised. It remains a target. It's a user space page, I should really be the only one editing it. - Ta bu shi da yu 07:39, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

To which I have no reply except: Umm, what? I thought that protecting was meant to be the uber-last resort, and highly temporary. The edit history seems to indicate that there was one vandalism over a week ago. If I'm totally wrong (as is often the case) tell me. It's a real shame that I've managed to twist your knickers the first time we interact, and I'm sorry that I was brusque. It's a total non-issue, I simply thought it was odd. Ignore this if you want, erase it, heck erase it from my talk page if you want. I'm sure (this is totally without sarcasm, damn text for having no tone of voice) that you've got more important things to do than explain yourself to me.

Authentic Matthew

The results were

  • 11 keep (one vote is a user's 8th edit)
  • 21 delete (one vote from a user with under 200 edits)
  • 4 merge

would you agree that "delete or merge" had a consensus majority? ~~~~ 08:40, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I thought consensus was 66% anyway? ~~~~ ( ! | ? | * ) 12:21, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Quote

I hope you don't mind, but I've taken your comment from -Ril-'s talk page for my user page. I really think it's a great line, and wish to share it with others. If you are at all bothered, I will understand entirely if you edit it out of my user page (waiving the usual protections). -Harmil 13:05, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]


-Ril-

I have unblocked Ril.

While I can appreciate your frustration, and while you are correct that Ril's relisting of Authentic Matthew was uncalled for, a block is not a suitable response.

The "disruption" provision of Wikipedia:Bans and blocks is intended to stop users who can't be stopped any other way. I don't believe that Ril is in that category. I also believe that there was insufficient warning and discussion before the block.

I will be watching Ril and will remove any VfD listing he makes for Authentic Matthew myself.

The Uninvited Co., Inc. 14:56, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh! I thought this was about Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Historical persecution by Muslims, but apperently nyet. You must have been thinking: 'El_C is such an idiot [more so than usual], what the hell isn't he jibberinging on now?' Indeed. :( El_C 15:29, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What -Ril- did with relisting was foolish, but I, too, wondered about its rising to the level of a block. It seemed more rational just to delist the article. What's foolish is that there really isn't any need for a new VfD. It would be possible to do a merge, with deletions from the article as bits were merged, and an edit making the suspect article simply say, "The term "Authentic Matthew" is used by some to refer to an hypothetical Book of Matthew. See the discussions under Book of Matthew and Jerome for more." No VfD involved, and yet the damage is undone, and I can't imagine the case anyone could make opposing it. Anyway, the article is very bad, and there is no way any of the "keep" voters were in accord with policy, but their inability to follow policy doesn't allow -Ril- to break policy by relisting it, I agree. I just don't get why the block. Geogre 15:43, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Authentic Matthe (again)

  • I recognise that there was no consensus to delete this article – and that is unlikely to change. But I still have grave concerns about it. I did warn –Ril- that his involvement in the second re-listing was likely to be counterproductive [2] but to no avail. I am left wondering how many of the ‘keep’ votes were influenced by –Ril-‘s antics. But getting this article right is more important that –Ril-‘s behaviour.

Looking at the last vote Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Authentic Matthew 21d , 12k, 4m – I note that 4 of the ‘keep votes’ expressed a desire for a renaming. So that would indicate a 29-8 feeling that it was undesirable to have this article at this name. I'm wondering, whether as an impartial observer, you would consider that a fair interpretation of the debate?

Is there room for an acceptable compromise? I’d like to move it to Possible origins of Matthew’s Gospel and place it the context of the real scholarly debate on Matthew. There would some overlap with both the Gospel of Matthew and Synoptic problem – but that I for one could live with. I could just ‘be bold’ and do this, but it is likely to be reverted, and I’m likely to get abuse (from a mountain of socks), – so I’m looking for some agreement that this has a consensus – preferably from some of those who didn’t vote ‘delete’. Any comments? --Doc (?) 18:19, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I noticed that you made four edits over twenty-three minutes to the above compare, and I'd like to point out that the Preview button is most useful for doing its namesake :) - User:Goodgerster

The New South Wales High Schools

Thank you for taking care of this problem, Ta bu shi da yu! This should cut down drastically the time we spend on RC Patrols... OwenX 01:14, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks for taking care of of the IP's even though it's unfortunate that they had to permanetly blocked but it was a last resort I guess. Jtkiefer T | @ | C ----- 07:49, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

They're still causing massive problems, I understand why you unblocked the schools IP but they're still being a pain and vandalizing pages left and right. Just thought you'd be interested in knowning. Jtkiefer T | @ | C ----- 23:11, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

The meaning of your screen name eludes me.

Ta bu shi da yu,

The elements of your screen name look like pinyin characters of Mandarin Chinese, but I have only taken one semester in college, at The Florida State University, and I just barely passed the class. I would be grateful if you could tell me the meaning of your screen name, but, to be a team player, and amuse you, I would like to guess first.

I think "Ta bu shi da yu" means something like "It is not fighting language" or possibly, "It is not fish language."

Am I close? What is it? Thank you.--GordonWattsDotCom 15:42, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I just tracked down a native-chinese speaker in my reserach group (it's a computer engineering group, so tracking down native Chinese speakers is a helleva lot easier than tracking down native english speakers). She said that she couldn't be sure (because the "levels" are missing) but if she had to guess, it could be translated as "I do not like fishing" :) →Raul654 15:55, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
There should be a FAQ:
Something to do with Kuro5hin, IIRC. -- ALoan (Talk) 16:31, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
There's some minor ambiguity due to the missing tone marks. From what TBSDY has said it's supposed to be "Tā bú shì dà yú" ("he/she/it is not a big fish"), but if it was "Tā bú shì dǎ yú" it could be taken to mean "he/she/it isn't someone who fishes / likes to fish", though that's not particularly grammatical or meaningful. --MarkSweep 17:32, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, of course, the tone marks: I remember them. There are four: "Rising," "Falling," "Constantly emphasized," and "Falling and then rising again." (That's just my way of describing them, as I remember from my class.) I have misplaced my Chinese-to-American dictionaries, which I saved from my college days, but even without the tome marks, I could probably look at the various possibilities and make a good guess. Of course, if I were a native speaker, and/or had not misplaced my dictionaries, and/or had the missing tone marks, I would no doubt do better. (By the way, it was HARD to find any online dictionaries, but I found a little bit of info.)
PS: Ta bu shi da yu, thank you for making a note on my user talk page to check out the FAQ section, but rest assured, I had put your page on my watch list for now so I could see if there were any replies. Just a second: Let me look at your links above in another window -I'll be right back: OK, I'm back. Yes, I do recall your photo, and you did look Caucasian (White), but I wasn't sure. This link was helpful in resolving racial identity ambiguity. This link told us it means: "He is not a big fish," and I am sure it could be extended to mean "He/SHE/It is not a big fish." Thank you for explaining here about your perusing through your Mandarin textbook. Oh, yes, thank you, MarkSweep for providing the links here! I made a typo, which I'm fixing here: Thank you Kuro5hin for the links, and I also thank Mark for the comment on the tones: I had forgotten what to call them.--GordonWattsDotCom 20:19, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
You are entirely welcome. -- ALoan (Talk) 08:44, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Are you being sarcastic? This is an honest question, I really can't tell, I'm not very good at detecting online sarcasm. --MarkSweep 00:02, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
No. Sorry for the ambiguity. I was being literal, not sarcastic. I wasn't, like, poking fun at somebody for chosing a funny name or for providing helpful links. You were the one who reminded me what the marks were called, when I couldn't reembmer the phrase "tone marks." Thanks. I'm just curious: What part of my post looked less than a real or authentic question? Maybe the fact that I payed such attention to a small matter like a screen name? Thanks in advance.--GordonWattsDotCom 01:14, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Well, then don't think twice about it. It wasn't your original question that I was confused about, only your most recent posting. As I said, my online sarcasm detector is a bit off, and I'm not used to people being very polite around here. --MarkSweep 01:47, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
No problemo... We're the "underpaid and overworked" masses -not getting paid a thing to post (and argue, lol) here. When you get lots of people in a small space (or page), and they are underpaid, things can get snarly on ocassion, and I do admit it's hard to be polite on how much I'm paid, sometimes. I think I spend too much time online anyhow, so I hope to discipline myself on that.--GordonWattsDotCom 02:34, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't mean to suggest you were not being polite – on the contrary, you were very polite, which is rare around here. That's why my sarcasm detector misfired: for a moment I mistook you being very polite for sarcasm, and I'm happy to find out I was wrong. --MarkSweep 05:58, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
My head hurts... - Ta bu shi da yu 06:01, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked Vandal

You said on 203.166.99.252's talk page that you were issuing a permanent block. That was on August 2nd. There were more vandalisms on August 3rd and 4th. I don't know how long it takes for blocks to take effect, but just thought I'd let you know in case this is a problem. Icarus 05:10, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Blocks take place immediately. The person must've been unblocked... Also just like to say Ta Bu, check your main page... I err vandalized it... Redwolf24 05:48, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

On User talk:203.166.99.252, you said:

No longer blocked indefinitely. I will keep blocking for one hour everytime a new bit of vandalism happens. That should slow people down. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:14, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Are you sure this is a good idea? Here is some of their vandalism from the last day or so: [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41]

The one-hour blocks don't seem to slow them down all that much... I think your original action is the only one that will solve this problem. OwenX 13:24, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

... User:MinorEdit, one of our contributors, gets blocked if I block those IP addresses. - Ta bu shi da yu 23:41, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I see...that is a problem! But these seem like static IPs; doesn't User:MinorEdit get the same IP assigned each time? If so, at least we can eliminate most of the problem that way. The long term solution is to have a developer change the IP blocking code so that IP blocks can, when desired, block only anonymous users from those IPs, without affecting registered users. Combine that with a three-day waiting period for new accounts from these IPs (which has already been proposed for all new accounts!), and we have a real solution.
P.S.: Don't leave! We need people like you here! OwenX 00:06, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Block a block of IP?

Can we just block a whole group of IP addresses, like 203.166.96.* and 203.166.99.*? I guess that would be considered against the spirit of Wikipedia... --- Mike 01:54, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This comment seems rather more like a personal attack, rather than a response to the question, or something worthy of the trust invested in you by your appointment to the Arbcom.

I need your help! Please use the format:

We'll see just how good their service is at responding to this sort of thing - we should be supporting any company that assists us. Therefore, I'm hoping that the Wikipedia spirit of cooperation and immense amount of volunteers will help with tracking down vandal edits.

If Ozemail gives a good response, we can use them as an example of a good ISP, and maybe even shame AOL into assisting us (we get lots of vandalism from them).

Errh... what is this all about? Lupo 10:53, August 10, 2005 (UTC)

This is a thread. If you want to stay synchronised, don't substitute it. Some of us are considering forming a wikiproject (or something) to coordinate on scripts for the Monobook skin. Ironically, almost of all of it will be implemented in JS, not CSS. I thought you might be a knowledgable person when it comes to this stuff. Alphax τεχ 13:58, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Guys, just posting a link to here on people's talk pages is good enough to attract interested parties. Transcluding this screws up section editing on all affected talk pages. And I don't think I'll get the new message alert anyway if this is transcluded. Lupo 14:07, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
Help us decide a name then! Alphax τεχ 15:07, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
As to coordinating scripts for the Monobook skin: what's the objective? A library of plug-in JavaScript snippets? A manual for the CSS used? Lupo 14:07, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
Yes, a library of plugins. Alphax τεχ 15:07, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I can try to help with css more than js btw as I'm much better than that (but still not that good). If anyone needs a person to double check stuff I also have a bit o' time on me hands =) This project looks cool though. Sasquatch↔讲↔看 19:42, August 10, 2005 (UTC)

What is the link to the monobook project? - Ta bu shi da yu 00:12, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Though I know very little about JS and how it works and most of the stuff on my monobook.js is just copied and pasted I'd be willing to join since I've been meaning to learn javascript and it would be a good way to put real use to it.

I'm sorry to say I reverted your changes to some of the Mountain infoboxes - if part of them use WikiTax and part of them use HTML, the infobox breaks. No offence is meant, but - we shouldn't break it - it took me quite a while to figure out what went wrong, and I have no interest in the infoboxes...

It's a known hoax

Ralph Woodrow

I don't have anyone in mind, just as long as it isn't me (since I closed the first one). I wasn't involved with the article at all, I just happened to be the admin that closed the discussions for the 30th. A user questioned the decision to delete, considering that the article had been revised, and when I looked at the history, I saw that all the votes to delete had been cast before the rewrite, so I felt a new listing was in order. Any admin who comes along and is closing discussions is welcome to close that one. -- Essjay · Talk 04:05, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

RFC style issues

Looks like a good idea, and it would be better separate from the entire mess of 'wikipedia proposal' thingies. We've recently been looking into standardization processes for templates and categories; style would certainly be one of them. The idea is to set up a system to create a standard and stick with it (e.g. WP:TS).

Ralph Woodrow

It was a piece when I found it, and looked worse than a lot of other preacher promotion we get here. That said, I didn't try to put a lot of work into researching the subject's background, and that might have been in error. I did not, however, renominate. The voting's still not swinging one way or another (though if I were closing it right now, I'd say the consensus was keep), so it's likely a good thing the community's looking at this. The first two votes on the original VfD are telling:

I'm guessing that Woodrow is notable enough to have an article about, but nothing from this first-person POV essay is salvageable, and anyone who wants to write such an article should just start over. android79 04:37, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
Comment. A legitimate article could probably written in this person as he has written a number of religious books. However, this article is in such poor shape that it would be better to start again. owever would vote to keep even a decent stub. Capitalistroadster 05:00, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your assistance. He claims he's not seeking inbound links though I find that hard to believe. Who knows. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 05:05, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User:UninvitedCompany

This user is bullying me and removes attribution and copyright notices that should appear in articles. I have added one last time the attribution to Sphaera Mundi, as GFDL and Wikipedia's Cite Sources Policy requires it. If this user (or anyone else) removes the attribution, I'm not going to revert again, and I will ask for its deletion instead. Having GFDL-licensed Wikinerds' articles in Wikipedia is fine as long as an attribution notice is visible, as required by GFDL. But when this notice is removed, I consider the article to be a copyvio. I have asked for mediation to end UninvitedCompany's bullying. If he continues his bullying, I think you could help by deleting any article which is copied from Wikinerds and does not contain proper attribution. Right now there are two articles to watch: Sphaera Mundi and Vodafone (see this edit). If you are a mediator, you could also help with the mediation.

Sockpuppet discovery

Eequor is the sockpuppeteer of banned user Rienzo (and several other sockpuppets)

  • Even though Eequor claims to be strongly anti-Christian, this is in fact a lie. Eequor has repeatedly attacked, within the rules, several editors who make negative comments against Christianity, to the extent that her status as an evangelical christian, and her editing behaviour associated with it, was a heavy part of her RFA
  • Piglet and Lady Tara both claimed to be female, as does Eequor
  • Shortly after crossing Eequor's path negatively, editors find their pages vandalised by one of a number of sockpuppets, as well as false accusations against them by
editors they have never previously met (e.g. [[User:Rienzo

|Rienzo]]'s accusation against CheeseDreams after Eequor raised an extensive RFC against CheeseDreams on a topic Eequor supposedly didn't give a damn about and claims to be on CheeseDream's (anti-Christian) side over)
