User talk:ST47: Difference between revisions

If you need me to see something, put it on User:ST47/Now. It will be sent to me and deleted almost immediately. This includes BLOCKS and MALFUNCTIONING BOTS. Do not abuse it. If you do, you will be blocked for vandalism. You should leave a short message and your name. Don't post it to both /Now and this page, choose one. If you put it on /Now, the bot will move it here for comment.

Could you take a look at this BRFA

Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Android Mouse Bot req3. I don't mean to sound impatient, but it's noncontroversial and hasn't recieved a BAG response for about a week. Also goodluck on your RFA, looks like it will close successfully. --Android Mouse 13:47, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We seem to be getting a little behind :( Sorry for the delay, go ahead and do a trial. Thanks, --ST47Talk 13:51, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Thanks for the quick response. --Android Mouse 13:53, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ingria and ru-sib links

Your bot did it again, for at least the sixth time: [1].

Please, please, please, do something to fix this bot of yours (and the others, i.e. the whole interwiki.py gang). This must be stopped. Please also see my recent posting to the Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard, which was the third posting of mine to a relevant board to which I have had no response at all from any of the bot owners. Fut.Perf. ☼ 05:22, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If it added it again, something's wrong with the bot. I'm going to see if I can put in some sort of override, and until then, I'll disable the bot. --ST47Talk 10:52, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for your help. As I said on the noticeboard, the solution that would probably be easiest to implement and most transparent for editors to handle would be if it just checked if the link is already in the page text but commented out. Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:00, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but...

Hey ST47, thanks for approving SkyBot 1 for a trial run. However, it may be a little while before I actually get the time, what with my limited time here (schools back), to do the trial run. I hope this is ok. Also, being entirely honest, I'm still trying to make myself understand WP:AWB/CFD - I have followed the file path to Pugins, but I cannot find the Recategorise per CFD 'main menu item'. Thanks, -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 09:42, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there's a CFD.dll in the /Plugins folder, and you need to copy that into the same folder as the .exe. Don't worry about the delay, we realize that people have lives, and good luck - ask if you need help. --ST47Talk 10:52, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now I know exactly what you are talking about. I should be right on my way now, ready for trial tomorrow. And many, many congratulations on your sysopship. (I actually, considering the way you handled yourself, thought you already were an admin) Cheers, -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 12:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, your request for adminship was successful and you are now a sysop. You may wish to add yourself to Wikipedia:List of administrators. Once again, congratulations. --Deskana (talk) 12:21, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's the whole point, mkil will reply with 10 arguments and most of it makes no sense, just watch over this guy you and bart, but on a private level... he needs to go. Do you want accurate wikipedia?>

I understand that, and I understand that you believe that user is malicious, but we can't leave it there. I'll bring it up with some other admins and see what they want to do. --ST47Talk·Desk 19:06, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Congrats on becoming a sysop. I've sent you an e-mail. Sean William @ 18:54, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Please consider undoing your recent deletion of User talk:Cool Cat/Archive 2005/08 and User talk:Cool Cat/Archive 2005/09, because these pages are subject of ongoing controversy on WP:ANI (see relevant thread). Despite White Cat's claim, "speedy deletion" of these pages is a controversial issue, because the deletion break a lot of links from talk pages. Thank you for your time. >Radiant< 13:35, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, disagreement over whether a page is speedily deletable is traditionally discussed on such forums as WP:MFD. I suggest that if White Cat wants them deleted, he take the issue there. >Radiant< 13:38, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It breaks links from 2 talk pages, and one of them is mine. CSD states that some subpages are needed for 'administrative purposes', which I think means to retain vandalism warnings and and relevant history, but there's no need to keep these pages against the user's will, so I am going to go for deletion without strong evidence that the pages should stay - why do we need these redirects? --ST47Talk·Desk 13:41, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We appear to need them primarily because their absence has caused repetitive drama on the admin noticeboard. I don't really know the background of this issue but am trying to minimize drama here. >Radiant< 13:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiconfusion

Was I correct on tagging the articles created by User:Theladyboo? I am not certain and it seems both her and I are confused. -WarthogDemon 22:20, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like you've done it properly - an admin will review the article itself in a little bit. --ST47Talk·Desk 22:23, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Calendar & Clock

Hello ST47 can you tell me plz how can i have a calendar and time clock as you have got on your user page?--Adeelbutt88 ^talk 17:15, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moving here from subpage. — Dorvaq (talk) 17:19, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Dorvaq :)

I've added a calandar/clock to your user page, if you copy that lump of text to your talk page, it will be there too. Would you like any modifications? --ST47Talk·Desk 19:46, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the calendar & clock, but it is Adeelbutt88 who would like to have them; not I. I simply moved his question from your subpage to your discussion page. ;-) — Dorvaq (talk) 20:02, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DOH! (I didn't mean to do that!) --ST47Talk·Desk 20:06, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Code2000 talk page history

When you undeleted Code2000 per DRV, did you check the talk page and its history? It seems curious that the only comments I see are ones made while the article was in deletion limbo. If there is no prior talk, no worries; but if there is a prior talk history, we should get that back as well. You can reply here if you wish. Thanks. --KSmrq^T 04:27, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like some sort of weird glitch, when I tried undeleting the first time, it didn't go through. All 35 revisions are there now, thanks for telling me! --ST47Talk·Desk 14:53, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; and what scintillating reading it is! One more puzzlement: Should there now be a note at the top of the talk page that this article was re-instated after a DRV? I'm not familiar with the boilerplate for this situation, but the usual idea is to let future editors/admins know not to waste their time: notability is attested. --KSmrq^T 19:15, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A plain text notice would be fine, if even that's needed: information should all be in the deletion log. --ST47Talk·Desk 20:00, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would you archive the old talk page, rather than merge it with the new one? The sequence of comments is confusing, especially since there is no page history to see what in the article, the comments are discussing.jonathon 20:04, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for archiving the talk page. jonathon 21:59, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of UK locations

Hi,

I've now finished - I hope! - sub-dividing the pages listed at User:ST47/UKLC. Please will you re-run the query, so that I can see if I've missed anything? If you want to overwrite the last results with the new ones, that will be fine. Thank you. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 18:43, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not right now, since I don't have access to a computer with perl. I'll be able to do it in two days once I'm back home. --ST47Talk·Desk 18:47, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, I could do with a break from them! Thank you. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 19:24, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DRV overturn

I noticed you closed Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2007_July_18#Category:Films_by_shooting_location_.28closed.29 It was intended to overturn all the subcats that were deleted in the original debate.

Whoops! Unfortunately, you'll have to restore the contents yourself, I don't have access to that information, perhaps you can track down the bot that did it? --ST47Talk·Desk 21:32, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
