ORBCW

Dear Crz, may I remind you that you stated you'd look over Rabbi Shneur Kotler... also, the picture in Rav Levin's article is not ideal, due to the white surrounding on both sides. I think we may need to cut that.

Also, I just had this idea. What do you think of a page where people put down names of Rabbonim they'd like written about (non-existent at the moment though), even if it's just a stub, and after we've evaluated notability etc, a team of editors volunteer to check this page and write up the articles. This would be different from the ORBCW as it only deals with non-existent rabbonim, and and the aim isn't to improve articles or create really detailed ones, although I concede that could happen. What do you think? With many thanks, Nesher 17:16, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Chuck Marean

I think these edits were also by User:Chuck Marean: [1] after you blocked him. He has made edits with a very similar IP in the past before remembering to login ([2], [3] [4], etc), and it fits his MO. --mtz206 (talk) 15:14, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I'll follow-up on the IP tracking. Meanwhile, he continues to blank his talk page. Is a {Wr4} appropriate? --mtz206 (talk) 15:28, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Removed "Prod" from Ciaron O'Reilly

Hi,

I've just removed the Prod you applied to Ciaron O'Reilly - it seems to me that he's recieved significant press coverage for his protests. And additionally, he appears on Wikipedia:Requested articles/Social Sciences and Philosophy. If you disagree, perhaps we could have an AfD, which would allow for a bit more debate than a Prod? (At least - maybe it's possible to have debates with prods I just haven't worked out how!!).

Cheers,

--JennyRad 15:38, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

NP. I will consider AfD at a later time. - CrazyRougeian talk/email 15:48, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Mboverload

I'm always interested to read your comments in RfAs -- I'm new to the process and you seem to have shrewd insights and high standards.

If you have the time, I'd be interested to get your impressions of the dynamics I'm seeing in Mboverload's RfA. In particular, take a look at the links I posted in opposing comment #2 and supporting comment #24. I was a bit surprised, but then I may be a bit naive about the way some things work around here. My comments were posted after almost all of the votes were cast so most voters never saw these links. Does this sort of phenomenon occur very often in RfAs? (For what it's worth, I have never had any dealings with either admin -- Cyde or Mboverload -- before this RfA.)

I'm not asking for any action on your part -- just curious as to your reaction.

Novardok

Hi Crz, how's it going! Hope all's well. I'd be much obliged if you can look over Novardok yeshiva for me and add your many improvements. Many thanks, Nesher 22:29, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Someone worth keeping an administrative eye upon...

A new user, User:Mphamilton, has arrived on the seen and is adding some good content and doing some excellent formatting on some West Virginia-related articles. The problem, however, lies in his uploading of copyrighted images with improper tags. He is continuing to do so despite numerous warnings on his talk page. Mind keeping an eye on the situation? This, of course, means I will owe you some copyediting and second opinions. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 22:42, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I am Back

Hello once Again, I am editing the Electoral District Trintity-Spadina[[5]], but it keeps on getting reverted for some odd reason. If I revert once more, I would have supassed the 3 revert rule. My Contributions to the entry our statistical, I don't undersstand why this should be an edit war. Can you please revert it back to my most recent version and censure the IP for it's misuse.

My RfA (with apologies for my failure to have responded sooner)

Okay, so I ought perhaps to explain myself a bit, lest you should think me (a) an ungrateful lout, (b) an arrogant jackass, (c) a mercurial nutjob, or (d) all of the above.; (d) is probably accurate, but I wouldn’t want you to discover that. I ought at first to apologize generally for my failure to have written of late; I have been occupied altogether with maintaining the tennis, American football, baseball, basketball, chess, ice hockey, and golf portals—which, inasmuch as the perfecting of each can consume hours, aren’t a good area for someone with obsessive tendencies—to the exclusion of all other Wikipedia work (hence, in large part, my reticence vis-à-vis adminship, about which more in a moment).

I recognize that I ought to have been much clearer in my declining the nomination—and, obviously, that I ought to have written to you, but, as you will see from my contribution history, I was updating the tennis portal in exorbitant (and excrutiating) detail—lest my words should have been construed to mean something much more drastic than I’d intended (perhaps the first instance in many years in which I elected to curtail my verbosity is one in which a more thorough explanation would have been appreciated).

I am not, to be sure, leaving the project. Rather, having fully healed from an abdominal injury, I am resuming fully my exercise program, which, between work at the gym and work at home, comprises nearly seven hours each day (which craziness is perhaps the reason for my having suffered an injury in the first place) and limits the time I have for other pursuits; managing my 20-plus fantasy baseball teams consumes the remainder of my time. I wasn’t intending, then, to leave, but, instead, to be absent for several weeks while adjusting to my new schedule, after which I planned to edit a bit more, although not to undertake any tasks for which admin tools are necessary (indeed, you will notice that nearly all of my contributions of late have been to mainspace or portal space, with almost none in Wikipedia space). I have decided, btw, that, since I don’t think I could go a few weeks without editing (worrying, as I would, about my beloved portals), I’m going to make time to edit a bit each day, in order that, when my seven-hour workouts fall to six hours a few weeks in, I’ll be sufficiently familiar with goings-on here to pick up where I’d left off.

My main reason, then, for declining the nomination is not that I have no interest in adminship—there are a few tasks with which I’d try to help—or that I think myself unqualified [after all, in my mind, the peoples of the world ought to worship me :-) ] but, instead, that I simply won’t be around too much over the next three weeks, such that I wouldn’t accomplish much with the tools. To me, an expression by a candidate of a breathless eagerness for the admin tools, especially where a primary use will be blocking editors, is off-putting, but I know that most RfA voters think that the risks associated with supporting a prospective admin are such that someone who won’t use the tools much shouldn’t be supported (and, of course, that a candidate who shows insufficient devotion recently to project space oughtn’t to be approved). I have also, as you will have gathered, been wholly derelict of late in replying to messages on my talk page (having just today replied to messages from as long ago as mid-June)—again, those darned portals–and so my community involvement on the whole has been quite meager, and I’ve been an insular editor, about which RfA voters would surely be concerned (probably rightly).

Once more, the slapdash and cursory nature of my RfA reply wasn’t meant to convey anything other than that I would write more soon thereafter and that I didn’t want Bln to take time writing a co-nomination. I was, I should say, altogether grateful for your expression of trust in me (for the belated nature of which expression I apologize), and I hope that you’ll not infer from my having been less-than-precise in my wording that I am unfit to be a repository of trust, as capricious and unstable.

I ought not to have dispensed with the issue as I did, but I very much wanted to nip the RfA in the bud lest others should see it and get involved. When I have more time to contribute to the project and/or when I become slightly less obsessive about my workouts, following, you know, the advice of, well, everyone, I would surely hope to be an admin, and I’d be rather honored if you should still be inclined to support me. I think I’ll modify the RfA page to note that I’m not so much declining the nomination as asking that it be held in abeyance; if, in the meanwhile, you should find yourself feeling uncomfortable about nominating me, I will, of course, understand entirely.

Thanks once more for the nomination. Please trust that I’m not acting arbitrarily or crazily here and that I didn’t intend melodramatically to intimate that I was leaving the project; I wanted simply to express that I wasn’t prepared for an RfA at this time, with the intention of writing you straightaway. You can guess what got in the way (seriously, you’d think that, having spent so much time on the other portals, I’d not have created the tennis, golf, and ice hockey portals, or that I’d have ensured that other users might get involved with them, lest I should have to be the sole substantive contributor; on the other hand, I obviously own them…). In sum, nothing major or strange going on, simply my inability properly to convey my sentiments with brevity (not that that’s a new thing). Joe 06:33, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for not thinking me to be irredeemably crazy. I am thinking about cutting back on the workouts; what began as a project that was physically and mentally fulfilling has now become an oddly driven effort. That, and the people at the gym think I'm nuts.  :) Joe 19:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

I'm going to skip dropping notes on everyone's talk page who participated in my RFA, but I did want to leave you one. I appreciate your nomination and the work you put into it. I'm happy that it was successful and I think a lot of that has to do with your nomination statement. Thanks again! -- JLaTondre 11:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

{[tl|clothingstub}}

ohhh dear. I see you've had a word with the creator of this. Looks like instant SFD material. Grutness...wha? 11:18, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

{{clothingstub}} and Category:Clothing stubs

First of all, STOP. Secondly, your out-of-process creations have been discovered and listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Discoveries, and may later be taken to WP:SFD. Just in general, in order to create a new stub type and category, one must propose it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals and get consensus, besides for which your creations do not conform to our naming conventions. OK - a discussion will now take place. Please don't change over any more stubs for now. Thanks. - CrazyRougeian talk/email 11:11, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

No problem. Those were my first attempts at creating a stub type. I haven't done any work on them since creating them. I'll be guided by your advice. SilkTork 11:21, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Planets AfD

Yea, I figured most of it was junk, and the rest we could summarize in a sentence or two at List of Power Rangers planets. I've learned the hard way that you can't win the war on cruft, so you just have to contain it to one article.

As Uncyclopedia says, "[Wikipedia is] a database including such things as of trains, Mortal Kombat characters, one-time villains from Mario games, road intersections, boring suburban schools, garage bands, cats, dead flounders, webcomics, Bionicle characters, kittens' headquarterwebforums, characters from English soap operas, Mortal Kombat characters that don't exist, and a thing they call articles." AdamBiswanger1 14:41, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

True, true. I'm sure not averse to deleting cruft. Just take a look at my contributions. However those examples seem to be egregious violations of notability guidelines, and I would consider this a borderline case given the popularity of Power Rangers and what seems like mild prominence of the planets within the series. In any event, I think we are on the same page, in that we both do not wish to nominate List of Power Rangers planets. AdamBiswanger1 14:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Kylu's RFA

Hello. :)

You mentioned that you thought Kylu was too eager for adminship. However, I just wanted to point out to you (if you did not already see it) that she really was quite reluctant to accept the RFA. Cheers, -- Where 15:22, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Follow up to Thunder B ay Public Library history page

Hi Crazy Russian...

On June 16, 2006, you deleted the page I had created for TBPL (Thunder Bay Public Library), asserting (correctly!) that it was a cut-and-paste of copyrighted material from the tbpl website (www.tbpl.ca).

Becuase I am working on a Wiki entry for the Library, on behalf of the Library (the copyright holder of the copied text), am I not entitled to use this material? Would Wikipedia require some sort of documentation or official permission from the Chief Librarian of TBPL, confirming that I am working for them?

Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Persian Jews

I think it was a retaliation for Teleportation in Islam. Pecher ^Talk 20:51, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

You're apparently much better educated about Islam than I am, since something that is obvious to you is not obvious to me. I did what I found to be the best way to proceed, and I have no reasons to be ashamed of that. Pecher ^Talk 21:08, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Different Standard For Warnings

Hello, in the spirit of the World Cup, I was wondering if issuing Yellow and Red Cards would be an appropiate form of censuring rogue editors. By the way, my user talk page keeps getting vandalized. There are other editors nice enough to revert this. I was wondering if you could issue this editor a red card. I have already given him a yellow. Pete Peters 23:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you!

Hey Crzrussian...thank you VERY much for your quick reply to my question about using copyrighted stuff from tbpl. I appreciate it! Joanna TBPL 14:41, 12 July 2006 (UTC)TBPL

KFC.com

I appreciate your acknowledgement of my contribution to the re-write on the KFC.com article (I laid the groundwork, another filled in more details that really made the difference). I really hope you didn't take my link to the essay personally (the very nature of whether or not that essay can be constructive or only an attack is being decided by consensus right now). Thanks again! PT ^(s-s-s-s) 15:59, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Articles for Deletion

Please be advised that a similar vote pattern from Ottawa based IP addresses is also happening on this Article for Deletion. [[6]] Pete Peters 16:13, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the welcome message

Thanks for the welcome. I hate to give you a reason to not be so welcoming, but I have a small favor to ask. Since I'm unregistered, perhaps you'd consider moving Portland millennial art renaissance into a more appropriately-titled article? Perhaps List of artists and artistic institutions in Portland, Oregon might be appropriate, though you might be aware of a better choice in title. Thanks. 69.3.70.201 19:06, 12 July 2006 (UTC).

Central Resource Page

Hi Crz, what do you think of creating a central page full of links to useful sources of orthodox rabbinical biographical material, such as theTzemach Dovid index or the NY Times Archives. This would aid biographical research and we can see where people get their info from, enlightening the entire spectrum of users. There would also be a section for books, with their ISBN numbers, which would include biographical encyclopedias and useful works etc. What do you think? With many thanks, Nesher 21:48, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Stubs

Hello,

Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.

Thanks!

why delets the list of planets from PIS? ( power rangers in space )

there are plenty of fans of the show including me that would be imterested it that. ;_;
