DYK for Bad Lip Reading

Jud Süß (1940 film)

I have just made a major transformation and expansion of Jud Süß (1940 film). that I think qualifies it for the DYK section of the main page. Would you be willing to walk it through the process of being included? Never mind, I just realized that a five-fold expansion is required to qualify. You might take a look at it anyway and let me know what you think. --Pseudo-Richard (talk) 04:38, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Please userfy and bring back the Leaders Against Discrimination page

I understand that it wasn't userfied, however the website I was trying to link it to was banned because it was a subdomain based on a domain that was banned. I wanted to insert the page leaders against discrimination.co.cc but the co.cc was banned. Shaanbham (talk) 16:25, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

 Done. The page is now at User:Shaanbham/drafts/Leaders Against Discrimination. 28bytes (talk) 16:36, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Stubs

You contributed to a recent discussion about an editor who was creating many stubs. The conclusion was that this was just a case of a prolific editor, with no violation of policy. There remains a question about whether very small stubs are useful, regardless of how they are created. You may want to contribute to the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Stub#Minimum size. Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 19:24, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Unblock

Your acccont in Wikipedia id has been unblocked.Stephen (talk) 03:04, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! 28bytes (talk) 03:06, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Are you aware of WP:MASSCREATION?

I'm thinking not (even though it was mentioned in both discussions), as I see you closed 2 discussions at WP:AN recently claiming that no policy forbids mass creation of stubs. See also Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 66#Automated creation of stubs for the discussion relating to that policy section. Perhaps someone should start a new discussion at WP:VPP to see if consensus has changed on that point, but until then no good comes of denying it exists. Anomie⚔ 20:42, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

On looking into this further, I'm forced to concede you're right. I'm not 100% sure un-closing the closed AN discussions would be productive, but I'm open to doing that if you think that's the best way forward. Thoughts? 28bytes (talk) 21:09, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

The point is really moot, as nothing would come of either of the discussions you closed anyway. In a normal case we'd tell the editor to stop until the community decides whether these articles really should exist, but these are "major content creators" so we just let them go ahead despite any objections.

Always happy to acknowledge words of wisdom! 28bytes (talk) 21:47, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Arbitrator?

I'm sure you'd make a great arbitrator :) .Jasper Deng (talk) 21:54, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but there is not enough money in the world that could convince me to take that job. 28bytes (talk) 22:10, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

More words of wisdom.---Balloonman ^{Poppa Balloon} 06:32, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Trying to be funny

I sure hope that this wasn't going to far xD.Jasper Deng (talk) 04:47, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Eh, people might take the "gunning you down" bit the wrong way, you might want to lose that. I know it's all innocent humor, but ya gotta be careful about humor around here, unfortunately. 28bytes (talk) 04:55, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Disclaimed the humor and made it less gory.Jasper Deng (talk) 04:58, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

The problem with text based humour is that you lose all the nuance's of body language and tone of voice, it's very easy to get yourself stuck. Especially since you're putting that on your page for everyone to read, rather than to an individual editor. However, I think you've done a good job of modifying that.

Newbie (i know)

I got my Wikipedia Account about a year ago but got super busy with school. Well, now I'm back! I need someone with the know-how since I never really learned coding. Could we be partners in making articles??? Firefoxcub (talk) 04:35, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Well, my online time is somewhat limited at the moment, but my door is always open if you have specific questions. 28bytes (talk) 05:51, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Peachspillz12

hi i am peachspillz911 a.k.a. peachspillz12. could you do me the fsvor of telling me why you banned me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peachspillz911 (talk • contribs) 20:32, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

You were blocked because your edits were mostly vandalism and hoaxes. You can request an unblock by following the instructions in the big red box on your talk page, but you will need to log in as User:Peachspillz12 to do so. You can also e-mail an unblock request to unblock-en-llists.wikimedia.org. 28bytes (talk) 21:14, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Webby

If Webby had said No I will not be disruptive if I am blocked would that not have helped his case? Also I did drop the matter of his 'veield threat' when it was obvious he would not give a straight answer.Slatersteven (talk) 20:37, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

It probably would have helped his case. But once he made it clear he wasn't going to say that, there was really no need to ask him again and again and again. I have to give him credit, actually, for not saying something that would help his case if he didn't think it was true. 28bytes (talk) 20:44, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

As I said after about the 4 request that I would not ask again, and did not, his reponse being to make a snide comment (to which I stupidly replied). I would also point out that some of my interaction here ws in fact more constructive then has been implied in some of the posts, at least two of my ideas being accepted by Webby (though one was pointless).Slatersteven (talk) 20:50, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

My general approach to such things is to ask once; if the answer is unclear, ask for clarification, and past that, just leave it be. 4 requests is just way too many, in my opinion. It's also important to consider that even if he had acceded to every request you made of him, you still didn't have the power to unblock him. (Indeed, I'm an admin and I didn't have the power to unblock him, since to do so would be to exacerbate a wheel war already in progress.) So in a sense, making any requests of him in that venue were just having the effect of jerking him around, although I should stress that I don't think that was your intention. 28bytes (talk) 21:08, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

As I said I relaalised I should have droped it earlier (But I only relaised that I was being draged in a bit too late). I know I have no power to block him, but I had a question and what other venue did I have? and I was not aware that only those with the power to block or unblock were allowed to ask questions in such cases. It seemed to me that no one had asked a simple question (and indead no one did) which was very germain to his unblock request (I was also unaware if the ANI at the time I stated this), I did not relasie there was a wheel war going on). In fact (if I reacall after Imade my comments at ANI I had droped the matter on his talk page.Slatersteven (talk) 21:17, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

You certainly have the power to ask questions of a blocked user, and one person asking a single question one time is probably fine. And your question was perfectly reasonable. But when they don't give the answer you want, I'd just leave it at that. 28bytes (talk) 21:41, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

I realsie that, as I said I goit draged in and should have disengaged.Slatersteven (talk) 21:51, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like we're on the same page then! :) Happy editing. 28bytes (talk) 21:52, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Stalled and urgent edit filter request

Posting at AN did not get attention to my request here, which is badly needed because this banned vandal uses open proxies (even blocked ones), but always does the same thing.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:40, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Somebody'll get to it. It's just dumb trolling, nothing to get too worked up over. 28bytes (talk) 05:47, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

After one week no one has gotten to it, and it'll save admins a ton of time.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:53, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
