A cup of tea for you!

Tea, for the civilized. That Ole Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 00:39, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Surely, in the interests of NPOV, this rather peculiar UI addition should include a WikiHate and a WikiReallyDoNotCareEitherWay option? Honestly, I don't see the point of it, other than more visual clutter. - Sitush (talk) 00:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Cheesy Dude! And Sitush, would this work? Reaper Eternal (talk) 01:38, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This user WIKIHATES you with a passion and would like to do this to you!
A little too cluttered, perhaps? <g> - Sitush (talk) 01:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Marked as Patrolled

Hi there, Reaper Eternal. Just a little request. It seems that Twinkle, quite annoyingly, doesn't mark pages as patrolled even when you tag them for WP:CSD, WP:PROD or WP:AFD. I've just come across an article, that you'd tagged for WP:CSD on the unpatrolled list. I'm sure you already know, but if you scroll down to the bottom of the article, there will be a little link in square brackets that says [mark this page as patrolled]. Clicking that means it'll get taken off the unpatrolled list and so no-one else will come across it on that list. It's not your fault, I know; it's Twinkle's. But until they fix it, it'd be great if you could click that link just before you tag an article. I've marked that one as patrolled. If you didn't find the article via the new pages list then just ignore me; you won't have had the option to mark it as patrolled. Sorry to be a pain. Keep up the good work. — Fly by Night (talk) 00:30, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you for leaving me this templated message which I see you have been leaving for many new page patrollers. (Located here: User:Fly by Night/MAP.) As a matter of fact, Twinkle does mark pages as patrolled. However, I did not access the page via Special:NewPages, and hence I did not receive the rcid from the recent changes table necessary to mark pages patrolled. Reaper Eternal (talk) 00:44, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) You're very welcome. Thanks for the {{talkback}} template. I'm surprised you make mention a personally crafted template when you use automated tools yourself. Would you rather me type the same message, over and over? (I have left the message on quite a few talk pages, and almost all of the recipients have been happy for the "heads up". Only a few seem to have a problem.) At least you know now that you are leaving articles on the New Pages list that are not being marked as patrolled. It would be very nice if you could open the New Pages list and mark off any articles that you have dealt with via the automated, template posting, process that is Twinkle. Have a nice day. — Fly by Night (talk) 00:51, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Sorry about my sarcasm. My reference is not that you left me a template message—I couldn't care less about that. However, as you yourself mentioned in that message, I cannot mark the page as patrolled unless I access it via Special:NewPages. I find it amusing that you would get annoyed enough by looking at an article tagged for speedy deletion to request that people go find the article in the new page list for the sole purpose of marking it as patrolled 30 minutes to an hour before an admin deletes it. If it really annoys you that much, I will go find them in the future. I also understand if the article did not meet the criteria for speedy deletion you would want me to patrol it, as otherwise it does waste time. Reaper Eternal (talk) 01:02, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Apology accepted. From the TW tag it is unclear how you came across the page. However, almost all of the users that I "speak" to have found them on the New Pages list, didn't know that they needed to tag the articles, and are very pleased that I mentioned it to them. I don't get annoyed at all, as you should hopefully have been able to judge from the tone of the message. I think it's a waste of time for someone to patrol a page and then leave it for someone else to find; it's a waste of volunteers' time and effort. Thanks for taking what was a well meaning, and polite notice the right way. I've had a couple of people insist on not doing it just to, well, I don't know. But they might have been the sort of kids that said to their mums "I'm not going to tidy my room, and you can't make me!" — Fly by Night (talk) 01:11, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. I see what you're saying about the articles being deleted. But in reality, it's only the G10, 11 and 12's that get deleted quickly. They A7's can take a day or two. In that time, imagine how many new page patrolers could have opened it, seen it's tagged, and moved on? It's a small, but cumulatively significant amount of manpower. — Fly by Night (talk) 01:20, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict × 2) That's interesting, because I normally access new pages via copy-pasting the URL into the address bar on my browser. (My robot, ReapETbot (talk · contribs), notifies me of potentially nonconstructive pages, so I get there without being able to access the new pages list (and sometimes it is pages into the list, so it is hard to find). I agree that it definitely is a waste of time to have two people patrolling the same page, which is why I always try to mark pages as patrolled whenever I see the link. Additionally, the last thing I wanted to do was annoy you with my tone. Good luck! (And no, it doesn't surprise me that some people get irritated upon being told to mark pages as patrolled.) EDIT: Hmm, I didn't realize pages took that long to get through C:SD. I will mark A7 speedies in the future. Reaper Eternal (talk) 01:25, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A beer for you!

No hard feelings? — Fly by Night (talk) 01:22, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
GAH! Stop edit conflicting me! :) Thanks, and I have no hard feelings against you! I really wasn't trying to annoy you. Reaper Eternal (talk) 01:25, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GOCE drive invitation

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors

The latest GOCE backlog elimination drive is under way! It began on 1 July and so far 18 people have signed up to help us reduce the number of articles in need of copyediting.

This drive will give a 50% bonus for articles edited from the GOCE requests page. Although we have cleared the backlog of 2009 articles there are still 3,935 articles needing copyediting and any help, no matter how small, would be appreciated.

We are appealing to all GOCE members, and any other editors who wish to participate, to come and help us reduce the number of articles needing copyediting, as well as the backlog of requests. If you have not signed up yet, why not take a look at the current signatories and help us by adding your name and copyediting a few articles. Barnstars will be given to anyone who edits more than 4,000 words, with special awards for the top 5 in the categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words".

Thanks for the message

...but please don't template the regulars (and as far as I am concerned it is an attack page as all it does is highlight the charges with no other content). – ukexpat (talk) 16:41, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would you rather I handwrote the same message? And no, it does not fall under criteria G10 because G10 requires the page to be a negative unsourced BLP. That page had a source, and thus I do not believe G10 applieds. (Its subject is still definitely not notable, hence my AFD nom.) Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:15, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm...that template was rather more patronizing than I thought. I will write my own messages from now on. Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:20, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
For regulars, yes. As regards the article, if it's not a G10 it is certainly an A7 so you could have changed the template accordingly. It would probably have been deleted by now so we wouldn't have to go through the Afd rigmarole. – ukexpat (talk) 17:35, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have no comment as to whether or not it meets A7. Personally, I don't think it does. However, I definitely will not contest it if you add the A7 tag. (BTW, you can add a CSD tag to an article undergoing AFD, so if you want to add {{db-person}}, you can.) Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:37, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Technically as G10 has been contested, not sure I can do that, but I am going to IAR and do so anyway. Thanks. – ukexpat (talk) 17:41, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
...but now it has been expanded a little so it's not an A7. – ukexpat (talk) 17:43, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Granting bureaucrats the technical ability to remove the admin flag

Hi. Are you aware that you voted 'Support' twice? They both have the same time stamp so it was probably a technical glitch. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:58, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I !voted support once, but if you see this diff, another !voter two diffs later duplicated my !vote. :P I had to laugh when I saw that, though. Reaper Eternal (talk) 23:39, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

I have spent all day moving house and I am exhausted. As such, it was a delight to log in and receive a barnstar from you. :) Thank you for the barnstar, for taking the time to read my admin review page, and for your confidence in me as an admin: I really appreciate them all.

Hi, you have left me a message saying redirect, wtf? Unfortunately I created the page but accidentally created the page with the surname using a lowercase s :( I did leave a note explaining why I had redirected to the correct page. Can you delete the page which redirects to the correct one? Sorry for the inconvenience.

Danielle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielle Kidman (talk • contribs) 19:56, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, the "wtf?" wasn't directed at you. It was because the page's redirect that you added wasn't working and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Eventually, I deleted the page's contents and retyped them all back out, and then the redirect worked, so I was like "why on earth did that happen???" As you can see here, I made no changes to the page. Good luck editing! Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:01, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your assistance, it is much appreciated. Sincere apologies for the inconvenience, it was my mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielle Kidman (talk • contribs) 20:09, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem—it wasn't an issue, and I'm sorry for leaving an edit summary that could be misconstrued like that! Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:12, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Check the user

Hello Sir, I saw what you posted at my talk page. But please before making any dumb conclusions check the user profile of the person i have nominated for adminship. I am just an year old user, how can i make a fake profile which is 5 years old and have created more than 150 articles with more than 50,000 edits. It seems you are here for targeting new users, am i right? Maybe i was wrong when i created an RFA for myself being such a new user. I admit my fault but it doesn't gives you the permit to make these kind of comments on my user space. And in the future check the facts before making such dumb comments. ThanksGarvitkamboj (talk) 17:10, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you are nominating somebody else for adminship, please put his or her name rather than your name in the nomination. Right now, the RFA states that you are nominating yourself for adminship. Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:14, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Newly created Edit Filter 426

For the newly created edit filter 426 (the one for the "tv station vandal")--will that filter tag any potential edits with a special edit summary, or will it actually stop them? As a non-admin (currently), I can't see the page. If the latter (stopping the edits entirely), is there a log of blocked edits (and, if so, is that visible by non-admins)? Qwyrxian (talk) 23:26, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Right now, it just logs the edits in case there are any false positives. You can view the log by going to Special:AbuseLog and typing "426" in the "Filter ID" box. Cheers! Reaper Eternal (talk) 01:23, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a bunch that just got through (with none caught): [1], [2], [3]. The same editor actually made a bunch of changes, which are too general to be caught by an edit filter; a couple are actually even correct, as they fix formatting, but still, the rest have to be rolled back for being unsourced... Also, thank you for the luck! Qwyrxian (talk) 03:01, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, I'm a retard. I included an uppercase letter in the lowercase regex comparison! The filter could never match anything! (Filter fixed now.) ;) Reaper Eternal (talk) 10:29, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
