User:Built Heritage

Hi, Anna. Thank you for talking with User:Built Heritage on their page. Obviously we need to be gentle with these promotional new users, because most of them are no doubt editing in complete good faith. However, apart from the articles created (and deleted), there's also the inappropriate username, so I've blocked them. Just a soft block, with a pretty friendly template. I hope you don't mind. Bishonen | talk 12:40, 17 December 2015 (UTC).

Hi Bishonen. I don't mind at all. Good call on your part. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:00, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

User:TeoBeza

Just a heads up that this is almost certainly User:Cryx88 - Theodore Beza was Calvin's successor in Geneva. StAnselm (talk) 19:03, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, StAnselm. Blocked and reverted. If you see him pop up again, please let me know. Best, :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:00, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Some bubble tea for you!

Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you too. I was just reading about how magic mushrooms may be behind this whole thing. That would explain a lot. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:06, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Why are my changes undone?

Hello, I made changes on Mucahit Bilici entry. All of the changes are public information and included in his faculty page: http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/faculty/mucahit-bilici He is now associate professor not assistant professor. The newspaper for which he writes is no longer TARAF but YENI YUZYIL. All this info can be verified because I included links for those sources. It is unfair that my changes are refused. Please help!

Thanks. Cavetower (talk) 07:23, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello Cavetower. Please read the page about reliable sources. Please discuss things with the person who reverted you at the article's talk page. There, you and others can discuss things. In essence, when you add content, especially to articles about living people, that content must be supported by very, very good sources. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:21, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi,

Hi, very new to wiki, (i have seen a few pages in the last week that have been incorrect so i decided now would be good time to correct them,) i got a message from you saying you fixed my template, not sure what thats about, any help would be great.

Thank you

Zyc

Hi Zycore. I just replaced the content at your userpage with the Template:Userspace draft. It used to look like this, and I made it look like this by adding {{Userspace draft|date=December 2015}}. I hope that is okay. Please let me know if that is what you wanted. I am here to help. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:51, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi SansLazyButHe,llMakeYouHazy/SansMayBeLazyButHeWillMakeYouHazy. Is this the draft at your sandbox that I deleted? Maybe I can help. Please tell me the article topic or where the draft is located. Thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:28, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

No its a new one — Preceding unsigned comment added by SansMayBeLazyButHeWillMakeYouHazy (talk • contribs) 06:30, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Okay, SansMayBeLazyButHeWillMakeYouHazy. I am kind of flying blind here. If the big template exists at the top of the draft, there should be a button to click there to have it reviewed. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:34, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi there. I made you two! See User:SansMayBeLazyButHeWillMakeYouHazy. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:52, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

I see you've just created User:SansIsLazyButWillMakeYouHazy. Would you like sandboxes there too? I must suggest that making lots of accounts with really long names can be disruptive and you might end up confusing yourself and others. Please consider sticking to one account or maybe even making a fourth account that is simpler and abandoning these three. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:04, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks

I saw your comment at my ORCP nomination. Thanks, and I'm glad you remember my dark history. Yes, obviously it will come up in an RfA, but how can I solve this problem? I thought for a while about this and what came to my mind is, I need a "strong nominator", I need to get the people who were my detractors to nominate me, confirming that I have indeed turned things round. I know my rusty start would still have influence in an RfA but at least the effect would be lesser. I was able to convince some of them, some people who added their comments here. They have assured that they would co-nominate me after two months or so. One of them is Titodutta (He is also mentoring me with regards to RFA) and the other is MelanieN. You remember, both of them were involved in my history, but I feel I need another kind person who was deeply involved in my past and could nominate me. I would love to hear your opinions. Thank you and seasonal greetings, Jim Carter 05:26, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

First, please understand that I wish you did not have a dark history, especially considering how your editing is now. You are a constructive member of the community.

I struggled with how to handle seeing your name there. I saw the responses by Samtar and Yash! and suddenly thought about proposing better instructions for responders. Something like "Please consider checking the user talk history and block log before responding...". Despite all the cautions written at that page, I fear that potential candidates may see a responder's not noticing and think it is not caring when it comes to skeletons in the closet. The last thing I want to see is an unfit candidate relying on the poll then getting a bad RfA result.

So, I posted, not with my personal feelings, but with a link so others could give their honest views having the facts. I wanted to turn the poll, in your case, from something that could mislead, to something that could give an honest forecast.

About your possible RfA, I am not sure any nomination would do the trick. Why should it? When it comes to deception and lying, for many, no span of time is enough to make people believe a person is no longer that type of person. For many, once a liar, always a liar. Also, people trust the judgment of nominators, but they trust their own too. Nobody will read that early post, make up their mind, then say "Well, MelanieN nominated him so she must think it is not so bad, so I guess I should change my mind and think it is alright too." Also, nominating someone who has such a history is a risk. If the RfA goes badly, that good nominator is a good nominator no more and people will start to question their judgement.

So, we see commonly see RfAs where a candidate has a few issues, and I mean a small few, and they fail and the person is heartbroken and they leave. I don't want you to leave. I am sorry to spell it out here, by it is really important for you to think about this before deciding to run. You may well get many opposes and editors pointing out your block log, lying, lying to cover up a lie, a dozen or more instances of poor judgement, up until recently, displayed throughout your current talk archives and past archives, calling a user "insane", failing to stop and listen so, so many times in your old archives, sockpuppetry, copyright violations, and even claims of hat collecting. Titodutta referred to you back then as someone who seeks to "...reach to the top...", and you certainly have headed in that direction. You are now an Arbcom clerk, autoreviewer, massmessage-sender, reviewer, rollbacker, and of course, autoconfirmed. Some might indeed see that as hat collecting.

So, this is all far from a "rusty start". And this is all within a couple of years. I just do not see how you can solve this problem. My advice would be to see how the poll goes. If it is favourable, seek a good nom or two or more. If Tito and Melanie will nominate you, that is great. You wrote "...need another kind person who was deeply involved in my past and could nominate me...". If you are suggesting I nominate you, I must decline. Once somebody lies to me, I have trust issues with them indefinitely. Plus, I simply could not support someone with that sort of history. But ask yourself about your own chances. Do you think you would pass?

If I could have the future exactly the way I wanted, I would see you be an editor and not an admin indefinitely. My concern is that you run for RfA and it does not go well and you leave, or, you pass, make a bunch of bad calls, and dozens of reading/keystroke hours are spent de-sysopping you. You make tons of good edits (which by far outweigh your occassional bad judgement calls, which are fewer and fewer). I don't want to see anything change that.

Sorry about the long post. I think that's a world record. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:11, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Maybe yes, liars are always liars, maybe no. I don't know. But I do know what I did at that time, I was one among many confused newbie, and it was a normal instinct for them to coin up stories. FWIW, The whole thing, everything about my past is already been mentioned at my user page. Those who responded, even in a cursory look most probably have check my user page, I'm trying to hide nothing. Anyhow, thanks for your opinion. I'm certainly not a WP:DIVA and will definitely not leave if I fail in an RfA, I don't consider it a big deal. In fact, unless someone snatches my editing privileges for no reason, I'll definitely not leave. I guess, I will not run for adminship, I and everyone respect your opinion and if I run, by far your opinion will sway my supports to oppose camp. Thanks again, Jim Carter 08:32, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
