Toolserver

Hey, Tparis. Did your account expire on Toolserver, or would you happen to know why the edit counter and whatnot aren't working? Thanks! Kevin Rutherford (talk) 00:51, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

He broke something. :p Actually it's being migrated to labs right now. I hope to have at least the edit counter running in a few hours. :-)—cyberpower ^Chat_Offline 03:22, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

*waiting with hopeful look on face* Yngvadottir (talk) 16:21, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

I've been working on it and I cant seem to figure out how badly I broke whatever I broke.--v/r - TP 16:22, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Fear not. It is now live on labs located at http://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/pcount/ —cyberpower ^Chat_Online 21:52, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Nice work, and it's screaming fast. Is the omission of deleted edits on purpose?— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 00:08, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Heck yeah, it's nice and quick, like greased lightning. — -dainomite   00:51, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Question: So, in "my preferences" it says I have totaled 12,200 some odd edits, and the old edit counter said more than that ... now the edit counter says I only have 11,837 and no deleted edits. Is something wrong here, or have I just done less than I thought? Go Phightins! 01:28, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

WMF Labs is still getting set up and right now we dont have access to deleted edits. It will display correctly soon.--v/r - TP 14:50, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

I wanted to let you know there might be a possible problem with the tool. When I look up the edit count or my account it seems to work pretty well and fast. When I look up my old account of Kumioko it just comes up with a white screen. I'm not sure if this is due to the high edit count (about 400, 000) or because the userpage redirect to my current one. Anyway, just wanted to let you know. Kumioko (talk) 16:55, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Memory overflow is what caused it. I extended restrictions on the tool since we now can run it on a powerful server. I forgot to extend the memory restrictions. It's fixed now.—cyberpower ^Chat_Online 21:42, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

@KumiokoCleanStart: 400,000? If that's true then the edit counter is ~260,000 off. — -dainomite   00:04, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

@Dainomite:Look up User:Kumioko and User:Kumioko (renamed) plus this one. The User:Kumioko (renamed) one has the majority of the edits. Kumioko (talk) 00:27, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

@KumiokoCleanStart: Ahhhh, I thought "When I look up my old account of Kumioko" + "due to the high edit count (about 400,000)" meant that the User:Kumioko account had 400,000 edits. — -dainomite   00:58, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Sorry about that I guess I wasn't really very clear when I said that. Kumioko (talk) 01:14, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Oh no worries. I probably read it too literally or something. — -dainomite   01:18, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

• When will the link in the user page/talk page header be fixed? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:50, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Uhh? Where? There are no links in the UP and TP headers.--v/r - TP 00:22, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
    • I think Kudpung is referring to a script that I have installed as well that shows on a user's talk page how many edits they have, how old the account is, when they last edited, and what permissions they have ... I believe it is this one, but don't quote me on that. Go Phightins! 00:32, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

• Not sure where that's found, but the Twinkle links need updating. :) ·Salvidrim!· ✉ 03:11, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

The problem are the permissions on /home/tparis:

drwxr-xr-- 31 tparis users 2048 Apr 10 19:19 /home/tparis

This prevents the webserver account who is not in the users group, to traverse this directory to reach /home/tparis/public_html. To fix this: chmod a+x /home/tparis. If this doesn't work, please ask on #wikimedia-toolserver.

Afterwards, please check if these edits can be reverted, and if this edit was accurate. --Tim Landscheidt (talk) 20:32, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

There's just one small problem. TParis can't SSH into his account anymore.—cyberpower ^Chat_Online 21:30, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

I can now.--v/r - TP 02:05, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

On a related note

TP, would you (or maybe another admin stalker?) mind editting Template:User edits and adding the new URL so the edit counter userbox works again? I would if I could but it's under full protection. — -dainomite   00:45, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

done.--v/r - TP 14:49, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank you good sir. — -dainomite   21:19, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

History deletion

Hi, I am requesting to delete the history of the page: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Lyc%C3%A9e_Franco-Libanais Since it has been modified from external persons and they contained unwanted pages. Kindly inform us when it will be done, and can it be done also for the english version of the same page? In case you need additional information, please let me know. I will check this page tomorrow. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.126.21.12 (talk) 16:42, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

I have no control of the French version of the article, but "modified from external persons" is not a reason to delete a page on the English Wikipedia. This website contains articles about subjects and are not under the control of those subjects to write about themselves. We're all 'external persons' being that none of us are employees of the Wikimedia foundation. So you'll need a much more valid reason to delete the article than what you have given. Have a good day.--v/r - TP 20:44, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, If you check the history, you will find the reason because there were students who modified the pages and wrote bad things about the school (ex: the school is a prison) and insulted the manager and so on and it's upon my management request that I am asking you as an administrator to delete the history. In case you need any additional information, please let me know. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.126.21.12 (talk) 19:48, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Tools

It's good to see that you're currently (or have already migrated) migrating X!'s tools to Wikimedia Labs, which means these tools won't be unreliable anymore. But what about your tools, such as Top Edits and Is X an Admin? Do you plan to move them to Labs? Thanks. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:54, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

All of them are X!'s or a predecessor of his. My only tools are WP:UTRS and User:TPBot. But they will all be migrated. In the meantime, my TS account is working again and they tools are all back up.--v/r - TP 13:05, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

(edit conflict)You have to give us time to do it. Migrating and making sure they work perfectly isn't easy. We are moving tools into a completely different server, with different database setups and access levels. All of X!'s tools will be migrated and toolserver will then be set to redirect to labs upon completion. Which is 5 times faster when I ran comparison tests.

Mens Rights Movement

Hi TParis, I was wondering if you could check the edit history over at Mens Rights Movement there appears to be some edit-warring and 1RR violations going on. I'd take it to ANEW but I'm not the most familiar at filling out that form. Thanks.--Kyohyi (talk) 13:34, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

The way the restriction is written, no one has violated it. It allows that each editor is given their own chance to revert every 24 hours. I've proposed a new restriction on ANI that removes this allowance.--v/r - TP 14:21, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

I don't want to sound presumptuous, but I thought I saw three editors who broke 1RR, and I'm not so sure about a fourth. Do you mind if I present what I think were the violations, and could I get feedback on why they aren't? --Kyohyi (talk) 15:08, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

You are welcome to, but I don't see any of them making more than 1 revert by themselves which is how the condition is written, unfortunately.--v/r - TP 15:14, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Alright, here's what I see,

• First is an addition by Pleasetry at 23:48 on 6/3.
• Then on 6/4 Carptrash removes some of what Pleasetry added, taking it to talk page, adds some material, and moves a reference, my understanding is revert one for Carptrash is in removing the material.
• Then Sonicyouth86 removes all of the remaining material that pleasetry added, some additional material, and restored some other material. This would be Sonicyouth's first revert.
• Obiwankenobi Revert's Sonicyouth's last edit. This is Obiwan's first revert.
• Binkersnet Revert's Obiwan. This is Binkersnet's first revert.
• Obiwan adds link to Women's rights, doesn't appear to be a revert to me.
• Carptrash changes wording in Military Conscription from Oppression of to Discrimination against. This is where I think Carptrash's second revert is. There is 14 hours between this edit and the last edit in his previous group
• Sonicyouth then removes some overlinking, as well as changes some citations. This is what I believe to be Sonicyouth's second revert. There are 4.5 hours between Sonicyouth's previous group of edits, and this edit.
• Finally Pleasetry re-adds the material he first added. If his initial addition would be revert then this would be his second. This happens on 21:46 of 6/4.

My understanding of 1RR on the sanction page means that the revert doesn't have to be of the same material, just that you can only make 1 revert on the page in 24 hours. When I first did the count for three editors breaking 1RR, I included Pleasetry in that count, and Obiwan was the one I wasn't so sure of. After writing it like this, I'm not so sure of Pleasetry breaking 1RR. --Kyohyi (talk) 16:09, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

I guess I don't see changing wording after an editor has willfully misrepresented what a source is saying as being "reverting". To me, reverting would be tossing out the whole edit based on the fact that the editor has intentionally changed the meaning of the source to reflect his (her?) POV. But it is comforting to know that folks are watching this closely. Carptrash (talk) 16:35, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

From what I understand, being incorrect or correct is mostly irrelevent to revert rules. Unless the content is obvious vandalism, a copyright violation, or a BLP issue, changing content someone else has added or removed is viewed as a revert. --Kyohyi (talk) 16:49, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

And I consider that sort of editing to be "obvious vandalism". But you are the rules person, so I'll defer to your . . ... judgement. Carptrash (talk) 18:23, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

I have no desire for snark, if you truly believe that the content you were reverting was vandalism then I disagree with you. --Kyohyi (talk) 18:32, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I am requesting to delete the history of the page: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Lyc%C3%A9e_Franco-Libanais because it contains bad words and insults about the school and the manager. Please let me know how to proceed. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.126.12.173 (talk) 05:24, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

PrimeFaces

You should restore the PrimeFaces article. I mean the article in User:Arjant/PrimeFaces. Here ([1]) you can see it is a Java component library with certain relevance. The unique with more than one hundred components (point 1) and the most used by developers (point 7). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aliuken (talk • contribs) 17:51, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

History deletion

Hi, I am requesting to delete the history of the page: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Lyc%C3%A9e_Franco-Libanais since it contains bad words from students and insults to the manager of the school. We have claimed to block this page from updates but how can we do to delete the history? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.126.21.12 (talk) 05:21, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

We can't do anything on the English Wikipedia. You have to ask on the French Wikipedia.--v/r - TP 14:07, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Thank you for your reply but both the french and english version have been hacked and we must do that for both history. Can you please do it for French version and then guide me to a link where I can ask to do the same for the English version? Thank you.
