WP:PERM/RW archiving

Kingpinbot needs to be updated to archive WP:PERM/RW, just like WP:PERM/R, WP:PERM/ACC, and WP:PERM/C. ~NerdyScienceDude () 14:45, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think that it would probably be worthwhile to leave the archiving separate from the other permissions - at least for now. But if KingpinBot could handle it, that would be great. –xenotalk 14:49, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It should be about one line of code or so. Xeno, do you mean let's wait until the trial is over, and see what happens with pending changes? Or just that it should be separate, but still archived? - Kingpin13 (talk) 15:50, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I mean it should be archived and preferably automatically, but it should stay segregated so that we can review all the grantings or denials for the reviewer userright together. –xenotalk 15:54, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Help with a notability debate

Hi, I'm currently having issues with another user who's also a "new pages patroller" on Will Stratton's page. He is trying to nominate the article for deletion because it does not meet notability guidelines, but we have explicitly shown him what notability criteria (1, 11, and 12) the artist meets for musicians. Since you are also a "new pages patroller" and the fact that you weighed in on the article for one of Will Stratton's albums, I would appreciate your input on whether the article should be nominated for deletion or not. It seems to me that the other user has a personal vendetta against the page for some reason and is being overly strict in his application of the Wikipedia guidelines. Since it is solely my word against his at this point, a third party would help the discussion. Thanks in advance! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Schmittz (talkcontribs) 17:31, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You welcome bro!! Very nice to see you as a admin here!! :-) In europe is very very hot... :-/ My hollidays will be only in October... :-S Bro, i have a doubt... I uploaded a few days 3 images, wich then, it was the soundtrack´s image to illustrate, for the game God of War (video game), God of War II and God of War III... And all of then were removed with the justification: " it was unnecessary " and considered as orphan images... I already read the WP:FU and i sent the case for same admin and no one answer me and the images were already deleted... I think in my opinion, this is a litle bit discouraging for me... I wanted to know how these articles like this one (10 images in fair-use) and this (7 images in fair-use), for exemple, what is the problem with this image i uploaded...?! :-/ Sincerely, i would like to understand more the political on Eng Wikipedia about non-free images...

WikiAlt Source

The SVN is empty on Sourceforge. I found a few bugs that need fixin' Allmightyduck  What did I do wrong? 03:46, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have the source with me just at the moment, as I am at a friend's house. Maybe you could let me know the problem? - Kingpin13 (talk) 03:50, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I put a few on the SF tracker, and one gnasty bug I found was if you hit the top of the queue and try to advance, you get an out of range exception, and gives a .Net error. Looks like you just need to add an if statement to the function that advances the queue that only executes the rest if != 0. Sorry, I like code :) Allmightyduck  What did I do wrong? 03:55, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, I thought I had put in the check for reaching the end of the queue. Probably got and int wrong by one, so it actually needs to be if i != 1, rather than 0. If you don't mind, can we converse at sourceforge? Something tells me you wouldn't like this code ;). It's ugly. I guess I could email you it sometime if you really want... :/, - Kingpin13 (talk) 03:59, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Silent Bob request

Hi, I would like to test WikiAlerter so please I request you to add me at WikiAlerter Users.cssSilent Bob (talk) 13:42, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Bob, I see you have no deleted edits, which shows that you've never placed a successful speedy deletion tag. I would prefer for you to have some experience in this area before using WikiAlerter, but please do ask again once you've had a shot at manual tagging. If you've got any questions, don't hesitate to ask :). Best, - Kingpin13 (talk) 08:40, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, How many would you suggest would qualify as experience?Silent Bob (talk) 15:57, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's not so much the number of pages tagged, it's more just about demonstrating you understand the CSD policy. Please make sure you read through that page before tagging. Also, you might want to try your hand at manual tagging, rather than using Twinkle, although it's your choice. If you want a number, I'd say around 50 or so, but 50 incorrect taggings are obviously no good :). - Kingpin13 (talk) 22:16, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kingpin, I have a request

Hey Kingpin, I'm back to vandal patrolling for a little while and I was wondering if you could add me to the "reviewer" user group, as I occasionally run into problems trying to undo vandalism on protected pages (because of the relatively new "pending" system). It's not a big deal either way but I figured it would be help, thanks. :)  Fyyer  11:22, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Review and Assessment - National Waterway 4 (India)

Hi Kingpin,
i along with few of our fellow Wikipedians (Raptor, Sodabottle & bob1960evens) have worked on improving the National Waterways 4 Article to a great extend. You shall also have a look at similar article here. Its already rated as 'C' after which it has undergone a major copy edit exercise as well as expansion. I request you to review the article and provide prominent rating to the article. Also we are pleased to receive your views / feedback for improvement of the article. ----Raj 6644(தமிழன்) 06:28, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I actually don't know anything about this subject, so I wouldn't really be any good at providing a review. But for things unrelated to the subject (layout stuff and what not), the first thing I noticed is you don't have a particularly good collection of in-line citations, in the Traffic section for example. For a re-assessment I suggest you ask WP:WikiProject India - Kingpin13 (talk) 08:38, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your advice / suggestion. I will post it in WP India Assessment. I will start improving the inline citations. ----Raj 6644(தமிழன்) 04:22, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not relevant?

I had noticed that you reverted my edit but I couldn't care enough to try to fight for it. If you think it is not relevant then that is fine. Though I would still advise to write it somewhere as that kind of information is definitely worth knowing if not merely interesting. -Ecko1o1 (talk) 18:41, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am well aware of the that. Only this time the page already had a speedy deletion tag, so that's why I reverted the whole thing instead of just changing the tag. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 19:47, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

TechnoFaye

So you indefinitely blocked Faye for violating "multiple policies", without naming them, and at the same time closed the discussion thread so that nobody could respond? Seems fairly capricious to me. I think you have a responsibility, at the very least, to list the exact policies Faye violated and give examples of when she was warned about them previously. Just pointing to a giant thread with no further comments is a dereliction of responsibility.—Chowbok 00:34, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The only page you did point to, WP:DE, lists several steps that should be gone through, including warnings and mediation. Finally, it says after an ANI report "[a]n admin should issue a warning or temporary block as appropriate." Nothing about going direct to a permanent ban. This really was a poor decision, handled poorly. —Chowbok 00:41, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing poor about this decision, or the way it was handled. DE is just as good a reason as any. The user was warned several times why their edits violated policy, and even you, Chow, were told which policies her edits violated, just to name a few. The overall consensus was that the pattern of disruption wasn't going to stop. Admins don't need to name specific policies, especially when they were quite clearly outlined on that page. So instead of bad-mouthing an admin for blocking your friend, why don't you just drop it.— dαlus Contribs 02:42, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Excuse me, was I talking to you? She's not my friend. I don't even know her. Maybe you should just mind your own business instead of butting in here with ridiculous comments like admins don't need to cite policies to ban people.—Chowbok 05:12, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Chowbok, anybody is free to reply to comments on this talkpage, as much as any discussion page. If you want a private chat use email or some other form of communication. As Daedalus969 said, the policies were outlined at the ANI thread, and there was a consensus there that TechnoFaye was violating them, if you can't manage to read through the ANI thread yourself, I can possibly later compile a list of policies, although one of my computers seems to be broken atm, and I've got a bunch of other rl stuff to do today. - Kingpin13 (talk) 05:22, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I know people can jump into conversations if they want, I would just appreciate it if people would stick to the issues I brought up instead of making personal accusations. I think it should be clear that I read through the ANI thread, seeing how I was a participant. It seems to me that you regard banning someone far too casually.—Chowbok 05:38, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, since you've read through the ANI thread it should be easy to come up with a few policies (say, WP:VAND and WP:NOT to name a few) that there is a consensus that the user has violated. Right, there's no way I should have to put up with comments like that, so (bearing in mind that I've spent almost four days on this subject, and many many hours of my time reading through the previous AN/I thread, Faye's talk page, her contributions, discussions she's been subject of, as well as following the AN/I thread and attempting to gauge the community's opinion on what should be done to resolve this problem) I would like you to either back up your allegation that I take a casual approach to blocking users with some proper evidence, or retract that comment as incorrect/a personal attack - Kingpin13 (talk) 07:15, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)For someone who cares about making 'personal accusations', you sure make some yourself. Calling King's actions 'poor' and 'handled poorly'. Don't be afraid to take a step back, and look in the mirror before you start attacking people for the very thing you are doing. Are you talking to me? No. Are you unjustly attacking an admin you disagree with? Yes. Do I have a right to comment on it? Yes.— dαlus Contribs 07:42, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
My, a little thin-skinned, are we? It's not a "personal attack" when I say that you have acted incorrectly as an admin. Nor is it my job to come up with reasons for your ban of a user. I stand by my comments; you have devoted more time to arguing with me than you have explaining your initial action. I worry about an admin who views questioning of his actions as an "attack". Getting the mop means more scrutiny, not less.—Chowbok 07:40, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Chow, it clearly is, as your idea of 'correct' is just your opinion. As has been stated plenty of times, there was ample reason given in the ANI thread. So instead of continuing to attack King here, why don't you just accept that fact and drop it? I again state, for someone who cares an awful lot about 'accusations', you sure aren't afraid to hold your own tongue. Instead of continuing be a hypocrite, why don't you just stop? First calling his actions poor, when you really haven't been here that long,(Misread, thought edits said '3k'. Not '30k'.) then calling him thin skinned? Look in the mirror already, and either stop with your own insults, and discuss this like an adult, or leave. You clearly aren't going to get your way, so sitting there flinging mud is really only disruptive.— dαlus Contribs 07:47, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Of course my idea of "correct" is my opinion. Who else's would it be? I suppose you think your idea of correct is handed down on golden plates from God? The "ample reasons" given in ANI included wholly inappropriate things like Faye's political beliefs and things she wrote in her blog. I'm certain that she would not have been blocked indefinitely had she more acceptable opinions. The fact that Kingpin13 won't actually enumerate Faye's specific, rules-based trangressions, but rather points to the ANI thread as a whole, simply confirms this. This was a capricious, arbitrary blocking based on emotion, not facts, and the fact that Kingpin13 did this in the way that he did, combined with the fact that he takes criticism of his actions as a "personal attack", reflects poorly on him as an admin.
I'm done here, I said my piece, and this seems to bother me more than it does Faye anyway. My point is that banning someone due to feelings rather than facts is the difference between the rule of law and a lynch mob. That's why I'm angered by this; it has nothing to do with my alleged "friendship" with Faye (which does not exist. As I said in ANI, my experience with her, aside from a single compliment, was complaining to an admin about an actual rule she had violated, for which she was blocked). Go ahead and take your whacks at me, I won't respond from here on out--though I mean, you won, you got what you wanted, so why does it bother you so much that a single voice is protesting? (I'm also amused that you attempted to pull rank, only to discover I've been here years longer than you. And, unlike you, my edits are mostly in mainspace.)—Chowbok 21:34, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I tried to make sure I never mentioned off-wiki reasons, and I definitely did not block Faye based on her personal opinions. Let’s look at the actual policy violations, which is one of my reasons for blocking her. I mentioned two policies above, NOT and VAND. So in NOT, is the soapbox problem. Faye is entitled to her own opinions, but the problem is when those start to influence her edits to Wikipedia. A user with strong opinions is welcome to express them on other sites, and have them in RL. However, when they use their user page to try and make these opinions known, and also persuade others to share them, when they keep bringing the matter up, even when users try to communicate with her about something else, and when those opinions are expressed in her mainspace edits, then that is soapboxing, and not a good use of Wikipedia. Another problem was using Wikipedia as a social site. There are sites designed to help people find other people to have a relationship/sex with, using Wikipedia for this purpose is unacceptable (Faye even seemed to try to have sex with you). Looking at VAND now, there were numerous diffs provided at the ANI thread, which showed vandalism, now Faye has said that if she is pointed towards policy pages which she has violated, then she will read through them and stay within them in future. Considering both when images when deleted and when her userpage was deleted she immediately restored them, I somehow doubt this is true. Also, when I showed her an edit she made which was vandalism, she said it was a joke. If she had read just the intro of WP:VAND, she would have seen that this was still considered vandalism. Also, at the ANI thread, nobody actually explained how Faye’s edits weren’t just common vandalism. Instead you and Faye both seemed to make up your own reasons why we were blocking her, and defend her against those reasons instead. This is another reason I decided consensus was that these edits were vandalism. I used an indefinite block because as mentioned above, Faye does not show a willingness to conform to Wikipedia policy.
I’m open to criticism, of course. What I’m not open to is these seemingly random comments about my ability to act as an administrator, without proper evidence, and coming from an experienced user such as yourself. Per WP:NPA, accusations such as me being casual with the block button, require proper evidence, which you have failed to provide. Also, the correct response to being accused of making personal attacks, is not to then taunt the user about being “thin-skinned”. Sure, I don’t find the comment particularly offensive, my problem with it is that an accusation like that, coming from an experienced user, may be read by other users who, because they trust users such as yourself, may not actually check the facts, and therefore comments like that, which are not based on fact, undermines the communities confidence in me.
I hope the above message shows you that this block was not at all based on Faye’s personal opinions, and rather the disruption she was causing to the Wikipedia (sorry I haven't been able to reply to your comments here more often, as mentioned I'm currently having computer trouble, and have had to reinstall Windows and wipe my hard drive). - Kingpin13 (talk) 07:37, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and no, this is my business. Maybe you forgot, but I was involved in the ANI thread as well. Wikipedia is everyone's business, and an unsubstantiated attack on an admin who blocked your buddy is my business as well. Given you have over 30k edits, you should know that saying such is against the rules. Let's see here, you jump in and start defending Faye after she expresses a desire to have sex with you, where you had not previously contributed in other ANI threads(at least during the discussion of this user). So ya, it looks a little odd when you jump to the defense of someone you've been in communication with, and tell an admin they've not thought something out when they clearly have put much time and effort into doing so. When you say that no-one has shown you any policies she has broken, when a quick skim of the ANI thread shows just that. Are my accusations of your 'buddyness' unsubstantiated, like yours of 'casualness' to King's? Hardly.dαlus Contribs 07:54, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Kinpin13 might have acted more quickly than some would like, but as Daedalus969 said above the end result would have been the same. She violated too many of the rules that make up expected decorum, & showed neither remorse nor even awareness that people found her behavior objectionable. The only place where I might differ from Kingpin & Daedalus is that TechnoFaye could be reinstated as an editor if she gets appropriate professional help. But even that will require a few years, at minimum, to her habitual misbehavior enough for the ban to be dropped. -- llywrch (talk) 02:55, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Folks, settle down, please note it is an indefinite ban, not an infinite one. I'm going to see if I can work with her but I agree right now she needs to be blocked for the multiple policy violations. As the father of an Autistic/Aspies boy I think I have the patience and knowledge required to try to work with her and I will try. --WGFinley (talk) 15:44, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck with that, WGFinley. If what she's posted online can be trusted -- a qualification everyone with online experience will make -- she has more issues than simply her autism/Asperger's Syndrome. Just remember the goal is for her to successfully interact with other people -- nothing more -- & even that will take a while to accomplish. (Which is why I mention her need for professional help; no matter how gifted someone is, only so much can be done thru online communications.) -- llywrch (talk) 21:53, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SDPatrolBot

See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/CCI. If things go according to plan, there are going to be ten thousand articles in a category that people are going to want to watch for notice removals. Perhaps you can help. I've also pointed PleaseStand at this. Uncle G (talk) 07:32, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm.. If you add all the tagged pages to a category, or you use a specific template for this task (which it looks like you're going to). Then it would be fairly easy to keep track of which pages were originally transcluding the template/in the category, and which ones are no longer (e.g. have had the template removed or been deleted). This would be possible even just using AWB's list builder. SDPatrolBot only patrols speedy deletion at the moment (which aren't meant to be removed by the creator). Since you only have one creator in this case (who is blocked) and these aren't speedy deletion templates, that shouldn't be a problem. So the way which this bot works (checking every page continuously) would not really be suited for this task. But it should, as mentioned, be child's-play to keep a list of the articles, and which ones are no longer tagged, even manually. - Kingpin13 (talk) 07:57, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AWB can keep track of a template that's in 10,000's of articles? I guess that's possible but it wouldn't have occurred to me that it scales that well (I've never used AWB). 75.57.241.73 (talk) 17:35, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
