AFC Helper script

Hiya. Check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Helper script. The script automates a lot of the AFC tasks. cheers. -- Eclipsed (talk) (COI Declaration) 10:26, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

AfC question

Just wondering why you approved British International School of Tunis. Doesn't seem notable and has one source which is WP:SELFPUB. Thanks. avs5221^{(talk|contrib)} 14:20, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Per past consensus, all high-school level and above educational institutions are notable - so long as they can be reasonably verified to exist. 81M (talk) 14:32, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

This is a primary school, not a high school or above. Per past consensus, "Most elementary (primary) and middle schools that don't source a clear claim to notability are now getting merged or redirected in AfD." avs5221^{(talk|contrib)} 14:38, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Oh dear, for some reason when I looked at their website I thought it was going to include a secondary school as well. Perhaps can we merge it into something more appropriate? 81M (talk) 14:58, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

I've looked around (briefly) and haven't found a good fit. I'm not sure what it could contribute to another page (I mean that honestly, don't mean to come off as rude). avs5221^{(talk|contrib)} 15:12, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

You're not being rude... I couldn't find much either. Maybe a reference at Education in Tunisia, but that's a long shot. Is there anyway we can un-accept the AFC creation? 81M (talk) 15:15, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

You'll probably have to go with WP:PROD, and WP:CSD doesn't apply to schools. avs5221^{(talk|contrib)} 15:38, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

WP:AN

Why are you essentially giving that guy attention so that he can harass me? Are you some sort of a moron or something? --MuZemike 15:31, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Just withdrew it from AN... I'm starting to see why ignoring it from the outset might have been the better way to go. Sorry, I didn't think this would cause that much trouble. 81M (talk) 15:34, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Well, it is. Next time, think before posting something like that again. --MuZemike 15:37, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Will do. 81M (talk) 15:43, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Look, sorry if I attacked you earlier; I'm just very frustrated right now with everybody attacking me left and right, and I cannot do anything about it. --MuZemike 15:58, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

I fully understand, he attacked me and User:Gogo Dodo too. I really thought banning him would help, not only did it egg him on more but now that I read the banning policy more closely it looks like it's not even intended to address people like him (rather previous spammers and edit-war-ers, who can then be reverted automatically without fear of repercussions under WP:3RR). The only other avenue I can think of is long term abuse, but something tells me it would just result in more of this crap. 81M (talk) 16:11, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Hey

Do you know what new page patrolling is, or how to patrol a page? I know you're an experienced Wikipedian, but it took me a while for me to find out what new page patrolling was. --I dream of horses @ 21:51, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up, Em! I don't do enough patrolling, I usually just look for the problematic pages and mark them for PROD or CSD. Love your userbox btw... which I promptly borrowed! Maybe I'll put a picture up someday :) 81M (talk) 01:23, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

I suppose you can put the userbox on your talk page, but it's kinda designed to be used on your user page.

Please mark any problematic pages you find here, so I, or anyone else, don't have to click the "Mark as patrolled". --I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 01:29, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Re: revert

Re your message: He is effectively banned, so making it formal is unnecessary and will likely just get him the recognition he wants. I don't think creating an LTA report would be very effective either. In my opinion, with him being an obvious vandal, it is best to just RBI and add to the SPI. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:21, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

I an new and not an native speaker

Hello and Good morning. Please can I ask you why you want to delete the article? Ok. I am with you that it is not written very well and that the style must become better. But I am not a native speaker. You cannot expect from everyone that he or she writes English perfectly. Please change the phrases etc. so that the article gets better. I have mentioned it also earlier. Furthermore then also Americans, Canadians etc. have the possibility to add information about their countries. But if you delete the article nothing gets better. Nobody will read anything about insurance medicine. Thanks. Bergfex

Hi Bergfex! It actually doesn't have anything to do with readability - I had no idea you weren't a native speaker and can understand the article perfectly :) The problem is the writing style, it reads more like an opinion essay rather than an encyclopedia article (in my opinion anyway). Take a look at WP:NOTESSAY and see if you can work in more of the references you quoted into the article. You have seven days from the time the tag is placed before a deletion decision is made, so if the article is improved by then, it will probably be kept. Let me know if you have any other questions or there's anything else I can do to help. 81M (talk) 14:55, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

I declined the proposed deletion and removed the tag -- please see Bergfex's talk page for further elucidation. ---- Steve Quinn (talk) 01:25, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

SPI case

Hi 81M, are you aware that this thread exists? I'm inclined to close the case.
