Admin Question

Is it true that administrators can block other people if they are too immature to participate on Wikipedia? Soviet King (talk) 03:48, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

If an editor's behaviour is disruptive, then "immaturity" can lead to a block. -- Samir 05:23, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

STiki: A new version and a thank you!

Greetings Soviet King. As the developer of the STiki anti-vandal tool, I would like to thank you for recent and non-trivial use of my software. Whether you just tried out the tool briefly or have been a long-term participant, I appreciate your efforts (as I am sure does the entire Wikipedia community)!

I write to inform you of a new version of the software (link goes to list of new features). This version addresses multiple long-term issues that I am happy to put behind us. Try it out! Provide some feedback!

The STiki project is also always seeking collaborators. In particular, we are seeking non-technical colleagues. Tasks like publicity, talk-page maintenance, advertisement, and barn-star distribution are a burden to technical development. If you are interested, write me at my talk page or STiki's talk page.

As STiki approaches two significant thresholds: (1) 100,000 revert actions and (2) 400 unique users -- I hope to have your support in continuing the efficient fight against unconstructive editing. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 00:08, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Administrator question

Am I ready to be an admin or not? Soviet King ^{In Soviet Russia, page edit you!} 05:35, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Being "semi-retired" is not a quality the community would appreciate in an admin candidate, I think. Since this inquiry does really require admin attention, I'm wondering why someone that's been around for five years would employ the admin help template. Tiderolls 06:03, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment)I saw that your edits have shoot up in 7 months. The community does not trust much the editors who have edits for less then 10 month. As your request for adminship can be suspicious and get oppose because they might think that you just want power. I'd suggest to first take part in AfDs and get accurate comments. And patroll new pages using WP:CSD and get a success rate of 95% + which is minimum line. Make more wiki friends and interract more, but the most important thing is to be always polite. Being an admin is no big deal. But there are few factors due to which editors loose RfA, such as angry nature, deletionist nature, etc. You are observing interraction ban which is a big no for adminship. An RfA candidate cannot get mop if they faced any ban in 1 year before running for adminship. I'd suggest you to wait for 1 year after the ban ends and patroll new pages, recent changes, AfD, and increase article space edits to at least 40%. This are the things which will make you an admin but not now. I don't want to sound rude or mean, but please take this positively and you really have a good chance of being one as you are a great king.

I'm talking no offence at all! It's no big rush anyway. Soviet King :   Talk or Yell 

Great to see you back as I though when I saw retired sentence: come one, don't quit. I haven't interracted or trouted you Yasht101 12:21, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, but what can I say, once youre on Wikipedia, it's hard to quit. Soviet King :   Talk or Yell  12:26, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi !

Hi, I noticed that at ANI, you use the T word, it never seems to be a good idea on the wik under any circumstances as far as I know. Probably better to find a word that others can use as well, leading by example in other words. That's what I know for what it's worth. But feel free to call me an idiot, I don't mind, as I am very goofy. But I think I saw you might be wanting to admin is all. Penyulap ☏ 02:50, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Hey....smash!!!!

Yasht101 has given you a WikiTrout! Trouts promote WikiFun and hopefully this one has made your day more fun. Spread the WikiFun by giving someone else a trout, especially when they are doing something silly. Happy slapping!

Spread the fun of trouts by adding {{subst:Troutalt}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message!

Yasht101 11:59, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

LOL Yasht! Soviet King :   Talk or Yell  12:00, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Your username...

... is a bit scary. :D --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 14:23, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

LOL...and also copyvio of User:Pedro and User:Ched Davis Yasht101 14:27, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

PS: I don't find it scary, but with attitude and dashing... Yasht101 14:29, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

It is probably because USSR was a friend of India. --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 14:34, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

How is my username scary exactly? Soviet King :   Talk or Yell  14:58, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Actually the name "Soviet Union" invokes fear in most part of the world. That does not mean one can't chose it. The Cold War is over a long time ago, Soviet Union is a history today. My post was meant to be a light-spirited humor. Cheers! --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 15:05, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

OK, sorry if I misunderstood. :) Soviet King :   Talk or Yell  15:07, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

SupernovaExplosion, do you have references for the first sentence of that response? →Στc. 23:20, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps they meant that they had good relations (less likely to fighting type). Yasht101 12:23, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

lol yasht. Soviet King :   Talk or Yell  14:16, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

A cheeseburger for you!

Do you still think it is necessary to restrict his ability to edit his talk page? Or should we leave it as sprotected? --TeaDrinker (talk) 02:20, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi

Hi, I hope you're back to editing. I know how bad that IP has been. Let's put the past aside and look for a glorious future. Happy editing. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 14:48, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

A brownie for you!

Welcome Back! I know that whatever the IP did wasn't good. I m glad to see you back and in form. I hope that you don't mind if I add your name in my hate list: User:Yasht101/My_WikiFriends Yasht101 16:19, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

No need to explode

Soviet King, in regard to this edit, please don't make bad situations worse. This is an overreaction. First of all, the supposed "threat" against Jasper Deng isn't a threat--to say that someone will file a complaint isn't anything at all. Filing a report at ANI is a complaint, talking to an admin is a complaint. All of those things are valid--you seem to be confusing "threat" with the much more narrowly defined "legal threat" (WP:NLT). Second, if the user is in fact a troll, then why feed it? What possible good would that accomplish? I'm going to see if a ban is in order: it's been repeated a few times that the user is actually banned, but I see no evidence of it. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 14:17, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you Drmies, sorry I mistook it. I have a tendency to mistake things what people say, and i'm sorry because i'm on the AS Spectrum (a user called ThatPeskyCommoner knows), and it has been established. I don't wish to discuss this issue with what all has happened anymore because I've just had enough, and I'm not going into all the details as to what happened. I'm keeping of it for now, and I don't wish to continue at all. Khvalamde :   Holla at me   14:23, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Sure. Let me just say that WP:DENY is tough to follow, sometimes, but it's solid advice. Take it easy, Drmies (talk) 14:39, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

OK Drmies understood. Have a nice day. Khvalamde :   Holla at me   14:42, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

• Got your note. I'm on it. Drmies (talk) 15:25, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Under the circumstances (which I guess Drmies may not be aware of), I don't think anything could be described as an over-reaction, particularly not a single slightly-incorrect word used almost-parenthetically by Khvalamde six days ago. The DENY part is wise, though. That is all. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 15:11, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

That is correct--I was not aware of anything and the edits in question (I reckon?) are oversighted now. I understand it's hard to keep cool under attack. Drmies (talk) 17:05, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Rollback

You rollbacked an edit by an admin on their own talkpage? ;) : [1] Yasht101 09:48, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Oh shit! I did it by accident, while editing on my iPhone... :( Stupid me... Khvalamde :   Holla at me   09:49, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

No worries, it happens. Once I tagged my twinkle preferences page under CSD A7 :P Yasht101 09:53, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Outing yourself

I'm not sure an edit you made is wise. The effect is to point others to material which may disclose your identity. I can oversight it if you wish. User:Fred Bauder Talk 12:45, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

By all means do oversight. I am simply putting the truth because this troll did what he did, and I'm glad it's all over with. Khvalamde :   Holla at me   12:47, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
