Speedy Deletion: Room 328

Hi Ruslik0, I'm new to contributing and my first contribution deleted. It says: "it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia." I've checked some other examples and tried to do it in the same format. Could you please help me rolling it back to my userpage or full roll-back so i can edit it with your advises. Thanks Berkgun (talk) 21:00, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see that it was already usefied by another administrator. Ruslik_Zero 04:26, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rus I need your help again

I need academic citations for the following facts:

That the delta-V to get into Earth's orbit is 9.7 km/s
That a trip to the outer planets using gravity assists from Mars and Venus will take substantially longer than one that merely used enough fuel to travel there directly (obvious I know, but the GAR demands it)

Thanks. Serendi ^podous 12:54, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to find. Ruslik_Zero 13:21, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I only hope it's enough to stop the article from being delisted. Serendi ^podous 01:17, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great. That nightmare isn't over and now here's another one. Serendi ^podous 09:22, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Editing survey

Hi Ruslik0. My name is Mike Lyons and I am a doctoral student at Indiana University. I am conducting research on the writing and editing of high traffic “current events” articles on Wikipedia. I have noticed in the talk page archives at Barack Obama that you have contributed to the editing or maintenance of the article. I was hoping you would agree to fill out a brief survey about your experience. This study aims to help expand our thinking about collaborative knowledge production. Believe me I share your likely disdain for surveys but your participation would be immensely helpful in making the study a success. A link to the survey is included below.

Link to the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=P6r2MmP9rbFMuDigYielAQ_3d_3d

Summary article for non labour projects?

Hello Ruslik0. I am relatively new in Wikipedia and have already fallen for an initiative like, the Summary article. Do you think it could be introduced in other project pages, not necessarily labour related? It's a really good idea and would improve accessibility to and usability of an article. What do you think? What can I do? Please feel free to respond on my talk page. Thanks in anticipation :-) Isiaunia (talk) 16:30, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could you clarify what you want me to do? Ruslik_Zero 18:19, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

redirect to newer article

Hi Rus, I'm trying to redirect "Choy li fut" to the "cai li fo" page, but the Rusbot keeps switching it back to "choi lei fut".

Some of us are working a new "cai li fo" page to eventually replace the old poorly maintain "choi lei fut" page and wish to redirect it.

Is it possible to stop this from happening?

Many thanks, Huo Xin (talk) 21:04, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The last time User:RussBot edited Choy Li Fut article was nearly two years ago. So I do not understand what is your problem. In addition I am not the operator of this bot. If you have questions about the bot, please, ask the bot operator. Ruslik_Zero 15:18, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Irish Film and Television Awards redirect

You just deleted the redirect page for the article Irish Film and Television Awards, which was Irish Film & Television Awards, citing "G8: Redirect to a deleted or non-existent page", which you can see is not the case. The main article has been in existence since January 2007. Could you please restore this since the awards are often printed with an ampersand? Thank you. Wildhartlivie (talk) 17:37, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The page was a redirect to itself (WP:Self-redirect). If you you want, you can create a new redirect yourself. Ruslik_Zero 17:41, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

$wgImplicitGroups

I'm no expert but happy-melon said

“

That is not strictly true: by removing 'autoconfirmed' from $wgImplicitGroups, it becomes visible (and hence assignable) in Special:UserRights. However, it is also still implicitly assigned by the software, so whether a user has the group is determined on a highest-takes-precedence basis; so it's still not possible to remove the permission in this way. And it also makes the group visible on Special:ListUsers, etc, which can be a bit of a clutter. Happy‑melon 13:13, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

”

the latter bit especially (about cluttered group with every user who lasted at least 4d/10e) seems to indicate it's a good idea to keep it separate. –xeno^talk 19:33, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request for rollbacker permission

Hi, I see you're in Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to grant rollback requests; this is one such request please. I have understood the policy and will only use it for tackling vandalism. Thanks. PL290 (talk) 10:30, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done Ruslik_Zero 11:12, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That was quick! Thank you. PL290 (talk) 11:38, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User:Wikireader41's violation of wp:3rr in Kanwar Pal Singh Gill

User:Wikireader41 has violated wp:3rr by reverting Kanwar Pal Singh Gill four times in one single day. Please see revert 1, revert 2, revert 3 and revert 4 eventhough he was warned by another editor prior to that.

Please note that the text in question (which is several rows long) was NEVER deleted, initially it was flagged by editors and finally some other editor duly preserved in the Talk: Kanwar Pal Singh Gill to discuss its notability and to reach wp:consensus.
4 Editors opposed this text User Talk:135.214.150.104-a Paramus-New Jersey based IP, User:209.183.55.111-a Dallas texas based editor, User Talk:99.51.223.161-myself and a User Talk:144.160.130.16-a San Jose- California based editor. Editors have participated in the discussion as well.
July 9th - User: Wikireader41 asked for some reference from editors (ideally to accept their logic)
July 11th-He was provided what he had asked.
But he DID NOT agree with what he had originally asked and now he has started asking for 10,000 references from the opposing editors. wp:pov
User:Wikireader41 did not care for the ongoing discussion between july 9th (the 1st day he asked for reference) and today, i.e. July 16th 2009 (he was already done with several reverts). Initially he deleted the related wiki tages several times in a row and then he started reverting the article to forcefully add the text into the article. wp:pov, wp:consensus
Further, Please note that you had previously blocked] User: Wikireader41 because of his known POV pushing history.

I had posted these notes on another admin User:Yellowmonkey's talk page last night, but he missed taking any action against User:Wikireader41 for his wp:3rr violation. I have recieved a note from some anon where he has doubted User:Yellowmonkey's own sincerity/honesty/POV] so I am forced to bring it to your talk page.

It is a clear wp:3rr violation and User:Wikireader41's POV pushing. I sincerely hope that you will take action against User:Wikireader41 for these wiki policy violations.--99.51.223.161 (talk) 14:47, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sun FAR

Since you've been making changes to the Sun FAR, I just wanted to let you know that I've left a few comments. :) JKBrooks85 (talk) 11:13, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

YellowMonkey

Hello... Can you please guide me how to report POV pushing... There is an admin called YellowMonkey who is an indian and keeps removing anything that goes against his country...Have a look at some of the edits YellowMonkey has been doing on State-sponsored terrorism Page... here , here, here, and here as well. How can he do that without ever participating on the talk Page...??? And here he even breaks the 3RR on 23 February, when Deavenger wasn't even a Block evading User.... And every time he reverted, he didn't merely changed minor things but actually removed the entire Indian Section which was backed by 26refs from WP:RS... Plus he is also recruiting people to counter my edits on a different topic here, maybe to lure me into an edit-war and block me... And here he shows Uncivil behaviour, And here is some more... All these talk-Pages where he has insulted me belong to editors who themselves are indian and revert any edit that is even slightly against India.... Isn't this POV.... Kindly guide me, where to take my case.... Discussions aren't helping a-lot.... He will block me If I revert his edit... His partner Wikireader41 (who is also an indian) keeps threatening me by a block.... I don't know what to do... I request that a neutral Admin look into the case..... Thank-You....Peace....Adil your (talk) 12:04, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see no evidence of 3RR violation. Calling someone a troublemake is not incivil if the person is actually a troublemaker. In addition why this is a reliable source? Ruslik_Zero 12:26, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[1] I think you mean this source which I think is reliable :-) 86.153.128.250 (talk) 14:09, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
