A Train: thanks for the tips on editing the pages I added (RobotFest et al). I'll keep on tweaking them - but it will take quite awhile to get up to your G8 Summit page goodness!!!! --CarlosFlys 14:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Editing my page one last time

I tried to format my final statement so it appears in four lines, with the "-" mark in front of each line. Instead as you can see, it's showing all in line.

If you know how to fix this, please inform me. One Elephant went out to play... 18:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Fixed it for you. Good luck in your future endeavors. A Train ^{take the} 18:25, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your help. I am sorry I cannot stay, and hope you never run into the abusive and evil administrators that it was my misfortune to encounter. One Elephant went out to play... 18:28, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Riiight. A Train ^{take the} 18:30, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Mea culpa

Sorry about that - I went looking for the last edit by Jimbo on his talk page but forgot it was not the last edit on the talk page. As a result, I inadvertently edited the wrong version. Mea culpa. Metamagician3000 00:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I went to your talk page to leave a warning, and saw that it was highly unlikely that you had lost your marbles and decided to start on a vandalism binge. I gave you the benefit of the doubt, and I'm glad to see that I was right to do so. :) A Train ^{take the} 01:01, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks :) I'm glad that I assumed good faith with you, too, and worked out that it was actually my error that caused the problem. All the best! Metamagician3000 01:27, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

GNAA

No, I didn't see the RFP request (I should have checked there first, my fault). There was a comment at AN/I about it, that's all I saw. Feel free to revert the protection; I'm not planning to wheel war nor was I attempting to start one. · j e r s y k o talk · 14:46, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Overrule

Well, yes, but it seems to me that not closing an AFD is not an action. >Radiant< 15:08, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

(continued on Radiant's talk page) A Train ^{take the} 15:29, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

• (edconf) That wasn't intended as snarky. It seems to me that quite often, some admin is unsure what action to take in response to a debate, and therefore either hesitates or doesn't take action, and another admin is not unsure over the same debate and does take action. If that were not the case, all deletion-related backlogs would simply be cleared top-to-bottom. I have no way of knowing how many admins saw that deletion debate after it "timed out" and decided not to take action on it, and that's not really important; what matters is that it (eventually) gets closed after timing out. >Radiant< 15:29, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Hey, just coming here to say thanks a bunch for you congrats, the new tools are taking a bit of getting used to - I now understand the pressures of being an admin! Regarding User:WikiLoco, I've left a note on their talk page explaning the seriousness of the situation and offering mentorhsip, lets just hope we get a response. Cheers again, Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 21:37, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

My RFA

As you may or may not be aware, my RFA passed today with approximately 99% support. While I will be distributing my blanket thank-you to everyone else later with AWB (I'm not on a computer that has it), I wanted to take the time to thank you for your input. It takes a lot of guts to stand up and be the sole holder of an opinion in a group that is against you nearly unanimously. I am especially impressed that you managed to keep your cool and stand by your decision, in light of people disagreeing with you. While you did not support me, I do hope that I will not disappoint you as an admin. If you ever have an issue with my actions, please don't hesitate to bring it to my attention so I can hopefully remedy them before they are out of control. All the best, ^demon^{[omg plz]} 20:21, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I wish you nothing but the best of luck, and I am glad that you did not take my opposition for a personal slight. I hope that you do well as an admin and bring credit to our project. A Train ^{take the} 16:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Recreation of Smiley Central

You speedied Smiley Central (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) this morning, but it looks like it got recreated this afternoon. Is it the same content as before, with the same non-notable website? You might want to check into it. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 20:50, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up, Elkman. A Train^talk 00:53, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of image

You have apparently deleted an image that I posted earlier today, File:Sonning cutting map.png. I find it grossly insulting that you should have done this without explanation. I am, I believe, a reasonably level and responsible contributor to Wikipedia and I take your failure to provide an explanation for the deletion as calculated contempt. Nick 21:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Nick, I'm truly sorry that I caused you any grief. I generally make a point of ensuring that the original author or uploader of the subject of a speedy deletion is informed, and I'm afraid that I made the mistake of assuming that you had already been contacted. For my part, I was simply going through Category:Candidates for speedy deletion and following through with the deletions themselves. Someone else, hours earlier, had tagged your image for deletion, and quite rightly, as the copyright status of the image precluded it from being used here at Wikipedia.

Given that I do not recall any previous interactions with you, I hope that you realize that the odds of my action being calculated contempt are rather small. I am in the habit of leaving talk page messages, but I'm not perfect, and doing so is a courtesy and not required by policy.

Once again, I'm sorry for your aggravation, and regret not ensuring that you had been informed.

Cheers, A Train^talk 00:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

And one more thing: deletions are not exactly cloak-and-dagger stuff; if you ever find yourself in a similar predicament in the future, just search the deletion log for the title of your image. A Train^talk 00:54, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for this, we'll draw a line under the matter as from this moment. Regards, Nick. Nick 07:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

ADERANT

I would like to ask you to reconsider your deletion decision on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ADERANT. I made a process objection to taking an article from Speedy-A7 directly to AfD, based on no claim of notability when such a claim could be made, making A7 moot. I also objected to the focus of the deletion debate moving from A7 to WP:N in mid-stream. From a process standpoint, I think this sets a bad precedent. If an A7 is contested, then that issue should be settled, separate and apart from WP:N. If a sourced article is challenged for the sources not satisfying WP:N, the article should be tagged first to allow a reasonable period of time to find better sources. A7 should not be a shortcut to AfD, particularly when the article is not a good A7 candidate in the first place.

Aside from this, the consensus for or against deletion was not that clear, and you gave no explanation on which arguments you found convincing, which you discounted, and why. So I would also ask that you add these comments to the archive, whatever you decide.

Full disclosure: personally, I have no vested interest in this article, other than the time I spent Googling for references and adding them during the deletion debate. And I don't approve of the original author's behavior, though I do sympathize with his frustration. My primary interest was related to what I perceive as an anti-commercial bias that I commented on in Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Anti-commercial bias?, which is where I became aware of this AfD. Dhaluza 01:00, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Take it to Wikipedia:Deletion review if there's a problem with it and explain all your issues their Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 01:02, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

As the good Mr. Postlethwaite points out if you really feel that I was out of process, by all means head over to DRV. Just off the top of my head, I seem to recall a lot of the sources being cited by "keep" !voters were company press releases, and thus not independent, reliable sources. I'm more than happy to pop over to the archived debate and reconstruct my logic for you later on this evening, though; I'll leave a summary on the AfD's talk page. A Train^talk 01:08, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Before taking it to DRV, I wanted to review the logic behind the decision, and give the courtesy of advance notice. In addition to the coverage believed to be sourced from press releases, I did find an independent reference online, but it was dismissed as not good enough. Was the problem with sourcing that it did not support the article content, or notability? Dhaluza 08:19, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Dhaluza - My apologies for the delay in this matter; I'll get to it right now. A Train^talk 20:19, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

As promised. Apologies, again, for the delay. A Train^talk 21:21, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Pimpin ?

A explanation as to the deletion of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimpin please A Train, and assistance to remedy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Purplex (talk • contribs) 01:55, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

Pimpin was tagged for speedy deletion because the article very neatly fit into Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, section G11; because it basically read like an advertisement. Two hours after it was tagged for speedy deletion by an editor, I deleted it. If you plan on recreating speedy, I suggest that you:

1. Read through WP:Notability.
2. Cite several independent, reliable, non-trivial sources in the article.
3. Get another editor (or two or three) to give you some objective input on the article.

Otherwise, it's just going to get deleted again. If there aren't independent sources that will help demonstrate the subject's notability, then Wikipedia isn't the place for it. Cheers, A Train^talk 02:04, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimpwar is basically the same and it is noted. In their note, they also presume they were the first to create such games when it is not the case, and that other games (which they have listed) copied them, which is also not true, and cannot be proven. This note should also be deleted, and a general note for Pimp Games added listing examples of these games.

WP:COI on Agile CMMI

Let me refer you to User_talk:AnonEMouse#Question_on_CoI - there is an issue with several articles that are apparently being written by one specific player in the Agile CMMI field, and so are being slanted to be an advertisement. Recent computer engineering processes are not really my area, while you seem to be more expert it it, so I hope you can do a better job helping out than I can. (If you ever run into any WP:P* issues, I'll be glad to help you out in return! :-) ) --AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 14:31, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Uh-oh AnonEMouse - I'm not your man. I'd be happy to help mediate a content dispute, but not as a subject matter expert. My edits to the Agile article were the execution of a merge as per an AfD that I closed. I don't know the first thing about the topic. Sorry, my friend. A Train^talk 20:21, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

The Shimdidly RFA

I wasn't suggesting Shimdidly. I was suggesting a training account for people in admin coaching, or those that are interested in being a sysop for a day that have met specific qualifications. I never suggested giving Shimdidly a administrator sockpupper account. Doing that could even violate the Ignore all Rules policy, for heaven's sake. The Evil Clown ^{my contributions} 21:00, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

It's definitely a thought provoker, Evil Clown. Check out Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship, if you haven't already; I've seen similar proposals floated before. A Train^talk 21:07, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I've always felt it was interesting, but enforcment and developing the account can go into completely new water. The Evil Clown ^{my contributions} 21:14, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

A couple of things

Cheers for the heads up on sethdoe spoofing your signature, left a little note to explain that it's a bad thing! Any chance you could monitor my talk page for the next few days? My house mate spent the money we'd given him for the phone bill on a night out - so in the good old student style, we've been cut off! I'm currently using someone else's wireless, but it is very very limited and I only get a few minutes every couple of hours. This might be slightly cheeky, but is there any chance you could put a message on top of my talk page and user page explaining the situation? I ust haven't got enough online time to create a template for it. Just something basic that says my internets been cut off so I won't answer queries quickly (by all means put your name in for someone to go to if you want to take on the responsibility!). If you haven't got time, it's absolutely fine. Cheers Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 21:27, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Call

Can you ring up Ryanpostlethwaite and tell him I'm Ready for my coaching? Sethdoe92 16:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Seth, I don't have time to get into a lot of things, but for starters, how about actually editing the encyclopedia? I just looked at your contributions for a second, and here's what I saw in the last couple of hundred edits:

• Dozens of edits to your own user page/user talk page
• Playing at the Sandbox word association game
• A host of edits summarized as "asscream" and "yo mama".

I don't think that you're actually here to make productive edits to this encyclopedia. Editing Wikipedia is not a natural human right, or protected by the US Constitution or anything like that. If you're a nuisance, your editing privileges will go away, permanently.

You seem impatient to be coached, but try to keep in mind that neither Ryan nor I (nor anyone else) is paid to be here; people edit the encyclopedia because it's fun to them. If you don't think improving the articles here is fun, maybe your should find something else to do, because your current record of contributions is going to get you indefinitely blocked if it persists. A Train^talk 16:56, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Good job

The more editors explane there actions, the less likely the other editor will revert. Actions of experianced editors come under great scrutiny. HP 18:50, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

If you don't like the edits, feel free to revert them. Now I'll read WP:ATT, maybe to have a good attitide, er. good source. But how do you dispute the validity of something alreayd their, as in skyler. HP 19:55, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: User:Ben

Your edit summary stating that policy states that you must provide an explanation for a revert of non-vandalism is almost right. You are not entitled to make arbitrary changes to the user page of an editor in good standing, and uninvited changes to user pages are considered vandalism. Please refrain from making further changes to other editors' user pages without permission. Thanks, A Traintalk 23:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

"and uninvited changes to user pages are considered vandalism" Guess you better update WP:Vandalism then, or else I'm very confused! I guess I was misguided to think that correcting a load of false statistics used to support some agenda was not for the betterment of the encyclopedia...oh well, maybe I'll have better luck next time! 67.86.86.217 00:41, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Har har.

You're entitled to disagree with me in a naming dispute, but you're not entitled to make snide remarks like "go outside" when faced with disagreement. Being a sysop, you might want to brush up on WP:CIVILITY and WP:NPA yourself before leaving another comment of that tone. Italiavivi 01:25, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

My comment was a friendly suggestion, and I don't think you'll find another editor who would agree with your characterization of it as a personal attack (as you called it when you removed it from your talk page). My remarks were far from snide; I was stepping away from the debate myself, and seeing that your comments on the Virginia Tech shootings talk page had grown increasingly heated, I merely suggested that you walk away from the discussion for a while. I encourage you to look through my talk page history and contributions and you can tell me if you find any occurrence of rudeness or serious criticism of my attitude in my 2+ years as an administrator. You have sorely misjudged me. A Train^talk 01:53, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I see your contributions at Virginia Tech massacre, and that you disagree with the naming ("no to massacre"), which is fine. You refer to other editors as espousing "sensationalism," which isn't very civil in my opinion, but you're still entitled to feeling that way. You believe that Wikipedia should not choose article names according to the most widely-used media references (because the media is just trying to "sell papers and get ratings"), which to me flies in the face of WP:ATTRIBUTION, but you are also entitled to that disagreement. Perhaps you were feeling heated as you stepped away from the debate, but I'm just fine. I don't appreciate how you tried to portray my contributions with your rhetoric; "heated," "go outside," etc. You're certainly more than welcome to deny the deliberate use of such rhetoric, but anyone familiar with discourse via the 'net can see clean through it. I don't have the time (or wikistalking-style interest) to comb your contributions for past criticisms, but I'll certainly go on the record as having found you pretty boorish in this instance. Italiavivi 02:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I would have to say that - given my reputation and track record - that your conclusion says more about you than it does about me, sir. A Train^talk 02:09, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Forgive me if I refuse to be lectured by a sysop who accuses good faith WP:ATTRIBUTION-abiding editors of espousing "sensationalism" for simply advocating an accurate, commonly-applied term. Puff your chest out all you like on your "track record," you're still just another editor. Italiavivi 02:20, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Archiving on the VT Shootings page

Just wanted to let you know that it appears someone already archived your admonition for people to not archive active topics. Someone is annoyed about the name debate and trying to bury it, but I don't know who and I'm somewhat of a wikinoob so if there's a way to find out, I'm unaware of it. -  Ennuified  talk   15:49, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Let's assume good faith and not read too much into the timing of the archiving. That talk page is moving incredibly quickly, and to do less disruptive archiving may prove impossible until the pace of editing slows down in a week or so. As for the name, the article is going to sit at "Virginia Tech massacre" for the foreseeable future. It's not that big of deal. If a different consensus name becomes evident in the media in the coming months, it'll be a simple thing to get everyone to agree on a move then. If not, it'll stay there. You're doing a good job of keeping debates constructive over there, especially for a n00b. Welcome aboard. A Train^talk 16:11, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Aye, I've for the most part agreed to drop the naming discussion until things are a bit clearer, but I just wanted to bring that to your attention. Thanks! -  Ennuified  talk   19:42, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I think the above user is just one of those who have their own agenda on wikipedia and are not willing to listen to complaints or critisism. I have to say, I think it's best we walk away from this one, it's more trouble than it's worth. If it was a new editor (or relatively new editor), I'd have a go at working with them, but this guy is just stuck in his ways so I just hope I don't come into direct contact with him myself. Best of luck with it all - but as you say, it's probably best to just leave it. Ryan Postlethwaite 20:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Let's look a little deeper into this. I'll be back from class in a while. A Train^talk 11:47, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi there,

I didn't want to clutter your talk page pestering you about Sc4900, so I haven't put in anything here. However, I've posted updates about Sc4900 on WP:ANI#Reporting_continous_insertion_of_unsourced_material. Another editor, Deepak D'Souza (talk · contribs) has also added a theory on ANI about what Sc4900 might be trying to do. I'd like to request you to please do have a look at that page if you're free.

Best regards,xC | ☎ 18:07, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

My apologies; I forgot all about this. I'll dig into it right now. A Train^talk 18:10, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for blocking the vandal, A Train. Much appreciated :)

I've gone through zir's entire edit history, and reverted all zir's disruptive edits. All, that is, which haven't already been reverted.

The hoax pages created are still up -

• Kaal 2
• Kabhie Jeene
• Sashank
• Killer (hindi film)
• The Time Machine (hindi film)
• Untitled Sangeeth Sivan Project
• Sashank Mavayya
• Shashank (hero)

Could you delete these pages when you're free? They're all Sc4900's creations, clear hoaxes, so they shouldn't be here.All of them have either been put on AfD or prodded.

Again, I apologize for pestering you, I realize you must be busy. Best regards, xC | ☎ 19:14, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

re: "incorrect link to fruit"

Thanks. There are also incorrect links to Apache, Eclipse, Java, Oracle, Python, Ruby, & Sun. So you might see fix incorrect link to: Native American tribe, astronomical event, island, prophetic oracle, snake, stone, or star as well. I try to run through them every couple of months or so. They do make for some odd edit summaries. -- JLaTondre 18:53, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello Again after a while!

Hi there, A Train. Previously, I asked for your assistance on atransferrinemia. I recently substantially expanded a stub, Fusobacterium, and was wondering since you suggested atrans for DYK, if you think there's anything cool/interesting/DYK-worthy to nominate? Can't wait to hear your suggestions. WiiAlbanyGirl 01:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey WAG; good to see you again. I'll cruise over there at some point after class today and give that one a look, I'll bet it's great. A Train^talk 13:22, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Columbia University

Greetings, fellow Columbian. I just created a WikiProject dedicated to Columbia University, the schools, environs, and the notable people who notably affiliated with it. If you want to be part of it, please check out WP:Columbia. It is very barebones right now, but with your help we can expand it and make it fully functional. --Valley2city^₪‽ 07:14, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey, that's a great idea! I'm a current GSer, and I'd love to contribute to the project. A Train^talk 13:21, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

AldeBaer/Kncyu38 continous violation

Kncyu38 has changed his name to AldeBaer and is herassing me again. He has reverted the MvR page, against consensus and Jimbo guidelines when no one active there, to include again the prejudiced self- proclaimed "propaganda" (vii) that calls me a "pagan" (vii), etc. Not to mention it violates the undue weight and tiny minority jimbo guidlines as only 2 self proclaimed propaganda books, with sinlge sentences devoted to MvR, make such crack pot claims. I find this continous driven desire to include prejudiced propaganda as the sole source (or at all really) to be a serious violation of Wiki. what can I do to stop this once and for all? He is trying to get me banned too. Thanks. JohnHistory 14:50, 1 May 2007 (UTC)johnHistory

The user is deleting info which is the matter of an ongoing RfC. The talk page shows previous consensus for inclusion not to be accepted only by JohnHistory. He elegantly underlines his line of reasoning by calling me "pathetic", "a cancer to this world" and "officially a biggot" on my talk page [3], among other things. By "harassment" I can only guess he means things like my commenting here for some clarity. —AldeBaer 16:28, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
