Functional Conditionals on Wikipedia

Hello, I noticed that you were an administrator and figured that this would be as good a place as any to ask my question. I was wondering if you know of any functioning if/then/else templates on wikipedia. On various other wikis that I have edited on these templates have existed. I was going to create new ones, but figured I should ask first so as not to create repetetive content. Thanks.--SomeStranger (T | C) 02:24, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

{{Qif}} is one of them. It will be deprecated by {{if}} after testing; however, right now it's better to stick with {{qif}}. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:54, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I actually decided to use the parser extensions. Someone mentioned something about them being more efficient for the wikipedia servers.--SomeStranger (T | C) 12:09, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Spiritual warfare cleanup tag

I noticed that you tagged Spiritual warfare with {{cleanup-afd}}. The version being considered at that AFD was actually a different version of the article. A particular user had replaced it with a poorly-written POV essay. (He probably does not have malicious intent, but he speaks very poor English and communication with him has proven difficult.) Anyway, his essay has been replaced with the original article. I am going to go ahead and remove the tag under the assumption that you were just going through AFDs and weren't aware of the circumstances of this particular one. Please feel free to add it back, if, in fact, you feel that there is some cleanup that needs to be done - I will not revert the change again. But if you do, please leave a comment on the talk page with specific concerns. BigDT 02:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

db-empty

It's a redirect to an article. No relationship, therefore {{db-empty}}:

This page may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. The given reason is: It is a very short article providing little or no context (CSD A1), contains no content whatsoever (CSD A3), consists only of links elsewhere (CSD A3) or a rephrasing of the title (CSD A3). -- OnPatrol 23:24, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Done. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the cleanup. I saw in the deletion log where you cleaned up some more of the vandalism. BigDT 23:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:31, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Hm...

Maybe we need a {{prod}} for images after all? -- grm_wnr Esc 04:32, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Possibly; do you know of a link to a discussion? I'm logging off after this to install Firefox 1.5.0.4. I'll check later. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

All I know is that prod (Wikipedia:Proposed deletion) is for articles only at the moment. But thinking a bit more about this, wouldn't it make more sense to make a rule that everything exclusively associated with a speedy-deleted article (not only images, but also categories and templates) may be speedy deleted as well? -- grm_wnr Esc 04:39, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry!

Sorry! (I reverted your absolutely correct edit to Requiem (Mozart) as we were editing at the same time -- I had to pull out my CD to confirm.)--Marysunshine 04:33, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

its notable because!

this band is notable because they are only 16 and 17 and there playing unique progressive jass influenced rock and roll, and there damn good. plus they have made countless contributions to the santa ana art scene and the orange county highschool of the arts. this is about the speedy deletion that you made today of the deadly diamonds wiki page.

Some people seem to "own" certain articles that prevents them being being improved into territories they don't want to go. The article on Temperature was pretty lacking. Please see Temperature's discussion page to see what I mean. Is there anything that can be done about this?

• Would you like me to delete the history of his obscene remarks on your userpage? I can delete the page, and then restore only the legitimate edits. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:26, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Can you answer the question please? I couldn't see the reason in you not blocking him when I asked then suddenly blocking him after you said I needed to warn them first.--Andeh 23:28, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Well, I went back to the history and found a massive record of vandalism, so I blocked him. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:31, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Yes, but why did it take me some additional nagging before it was done?--Andeh 23:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• I might have mixed up the different ways of blocking vandals for IPs and accounts. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:37, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• OK. The warning rule doesn't apply to usernames as it does to IPs, especially if the username hasn't tried contributing anything useful at all. The instructions for admins on the page do seem a little brief I admit. I suggest you ask one of the bueracrats to update it or provide additional instructions somewhere.--Andeh 23:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• You could propose the change of instructions on the talk page, and if it reaches consensus, then you may add it. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:46, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• I'll think about it, the only thing that needs adding is that if usernames appears to have been created primarily for vandalism and the user hasn't tried contributing anything then they don't need any warnings.--Andeh 23:52, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Is there a problem with warning users? It takes just a few seconds. Unless it's something like a vandalbot (block on sight), you could still take the time to warn them. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:53, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Now you've changed your mind again?--Andeh 00:04, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
• It's not required, but a few warnings can't do harm. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:07, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
• Why warn a user who's created their account just to vandalise? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andypandy.UK (talk • contribs) 00:11, June 8, 2006
• You can simply list them on WP:AIV, no big deal. However, I usually tend to go "softer" on treating other users; I always make sure that blocking someone will not do more harm than good, and I usually support RFA candidates unless they clearly do not meet the standards. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:18, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
• I did list them on WIP:AIV, next time don't be relluctant to block user accounts that only have multiple attacks on their contribs history.--Andeh 00:24, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Guess this conversation is over.. well keep up the good work on wiki. Have a pie on the house. :-)

hi dude, you sent me a message about what i did to one hour photo. im sorry. i wasnt aware that i could edit the page like that without being an authoriseed member. but you should know that im no vandal. once i realised the edits were actually physical i went back and ammended the edits. you can trust me that im no hacker or punk kid. im sorry dude. i have a great respect for wiki and was only curious. perhaps there should be some admin / moderator control for this site to stop people from causing willfull dammage. anyways, here to say im sorry and it wont happen again.

Gotchi entry

perhaps your deletion was inadvertent and not unwarrented, i hope so. if not...

is there any real difference in respect between vandalism and anti-vandalism on wikipedia according to king of hearts? just to delete without a word in a space made for words and communication seems awfully close to vandalism. as a professor for 25 years i am quite shocked at your hit-and-run deletion, without breathing a word or respecting common civil communication etiquette. this is very annoying. and the end of wikipedia for thousands of bright students, should you not adequately explain your stealth action impinging on my rights. the 'discussion' you ruled on with no rationale or word would not hold up in a court of law in any civilized jurisdiction. even the judge is not exempt from explaining a verdict before hammering the mallet, and, that, after verbally and thoughtfully participating in the process leading up to a fair judgement respectfully. do wikipedia a service and this pioneer of net.art as well. and if you have nothing to say, then undelete Gotchi right away and leave it at that. perhaps your time is not enough for you to actually do your job here properly, i have heard nothing from you, and therefore your urge to exercise power may just be greater than your commitment to respect the rights of those you judge. if you know catastrophe theory, you might realize that a seeming blink of an eyelash can unleash a hurricane. i beg your pardon to remind you that your current status undermines wikipedians and newbie wikipedians. silence is no excuse.

here my undeletion request now on your log list. i expect to see it back up for discussion tomorrow. it should be there now were you to adhere to wikipedian principles. and if there is any 'behind the scene' discussion remember Lenny Bruce when he quipped 'In the halls of justice, justice is in the halls.' if there is some 'behind the scene' discussion concerning my entry, publish it, so I can defend my entry with insight of your motivation.

and one or two more points: -- on the About Wikipedia page, it states: On Wikipedia, and its sister projects, you are welcome to be bold and edit articles yourself, contributing knowledge as you see fit in a collaborative way. i ask, where is King of Hearts collaboration? and this quote comes from the Wikipedia About page! read by this professor? -- and on the Sock puppet page, it reads: Wikipedia is not a place for mixing fact and opinion, personal advocacy, or argument from emotion. i ask, are the petty, and dirty langauge bashing on my Gotchi entry page not arguments from emotion, and petty emotions at that? where is the great protector of wikipediadom, the 'judge' called King of Hearts on that point? the apparent 'judge' and deletor of my Gotchi entry has totally disregarded both these points. his or her silence shows a clear and hasty, even thoughtless, disregard for Wikipedia policy at its most basic level. that is the end of it. undelete immediately or explain yourself fully, King of Hearts. to err is human, to forgive is divine.

this will be my last request. the next will be a phone call to whoever is overseeing the job King of Hearts is unsuccessfully doing with a strong complaint. then i will reveal my identity. please do not remove or alter the history page one iota. i have a snapshot ancenough database skills in my midste to check that it is unaltered. and then with no acceptable result, which i seriously doubt, i will have no choice but to call in from a talk show and inform the press as a civic duty and be sure that such respectless objections as those to my useful and already established English word Gotchi are added to the growing objections against Wikipedia in general. in fact i am the only professor in this important zone that will still give Wikipedia the benefit of the doubt. that is eroding when i read the editors objections on my Gotchi history page. read the objections on the Gotchi history page to sense the level of erudition which the silent judge accepts, in total disregard of my patient and timestaking answers to all objections, and looking back, most objections were utterly banal and of zero merit, clear breeches of Wikipedia policy.

Gotchi entry

i request immediate undeletion for my entry Gotchi on the grounds that deletion damages wikipedia and encyclopedic work. you have not entered the discussion and all the reasons i took time to explain have not been addressed by you using words. the same lack of communication, or any attempt as 'judge' to salvage the situation having studied all objections i took the time to research and answer as the history page for Gotchi clearly lists are not forthcoming. that is the antithesis of respectful consensual and collaborative knowledge building which is the very root of the neologism wiki an wikipedia. should there be reason to make changes you could have used standard wiki netiquette and basic interhuman communication. power is not a weapon. it is a responsibility. re-enter my Gotchi entry and enter a civilized and intelligent discussion if you have an objection. SpacePlace

Unfortunately, it was not completely my decision to delete; there had been consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gotchi to delete the article. Please read Wikipedia:Undeletion policy#To request that a page (or image) be restored for how to request undeletion. You may request undeletion at the page Wikipedia:Deletion review. Note: if you wish to expand the article to establish notability and qualify under WP:PROF, you can say so, and I will do it immediately. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:21, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank You for communicating (at last).

I was not involved in the cross-examination, and no objections to my well-founded objections appeared prior to deletion. in fact, i contacted most UserPages individually countering each objection peer-to-peer to no avail.

It is not like me to toot my horn. I am a full professor, tenured for life in Europe. I have 10 years prior teaching in New York City and 15 years as Pofessor of Media in Germany at its most prestigious international media institution. I do hesitate to identify myself in this space but will happily fill you in on my accomplishments in media, specifically online media, since 1993, that have played a major role in shaping net culture. My texts have been published by mit press. I have authored two books myself, many catalogues, many museum shows, 16 in the past 4 years in 14 counries on 4 continents, recevied honors at several international and highly regarded festivals for art and media culture, and still I have a 'playful' nature. To mention some of my minor wiki-related educational work: My students had a zope wiki with a custom python video TV stream and chatroom with 24-hr bots built in, with an actionscript game frontend to it all back in 1999. I helped rebuild the faculty of fine art in kabul afghanistan in 2004 at the request of the canadian government and a leading german cultural institutions. i taught in kabul and made a donation to the media students there ofa video and digital still camera, as well as a G4 laptop running not only php, mysql, python, lots of open source, but i installed for them a Persian language mediawiki which they really enjoyed. soon i hope that workshop will bear fruit. and it is important that the standards of wikipedia do not dip to the level you can read on the Gotchi discussion page. vulgar and thoughtless, uncommunicative and not in the best interests of the shrinking number of persons such as myself who still support collective knowledge systesm. poweer is not will, it is consensus!

Gotchi s a word in the early stages, a phenomenon as i have shown, and I substantiated that from many perspectives in my retort to the objections already, and took the time to do so. there has been no rebuttal, just deletion of this full tenured professor's entry. Let Gotchis live! or contact my anon account for full info concerning my credentials at con10t at gmail dot com.

SpacePlace 17:04, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Is it an article on yourself? Note that Wikipedia discourages autobiographies and considers it faux pas; please see Jimbo Wales's email (the founder of Wikipedia). -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:26, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

it's totally an article on himself -- he has ripped off a lot of artists with his so-called art project "spaceplace" and is now trying to publicise it using wikipedia. have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Philip_Pocock&action=history and you'll see that much of the article about philip pocock was self-authored if you check back through logins and IP addresses.i would recommend that one too, be thrown on the pile.

The answer to King of Hearts is No. SpacePlace is a Mashup and it is 110% collaborative. Just read the credits. Owner of the URL. etc.

Wikipedia is not a space for anonymous bashing as the unfortunate anger above displays. This entry is concerning the Gotchi entry. Let's leave in the anonymous bashing as a signpost for what not to Edit into a Wiki. And get on with the issue at hand - the Gotchi entry. All the principles of Wikipedia have been substantiated by the Gotchi entry defence. The objections are unsubstantiated, extremely cursory and brief, rebutted. If there are no more objections, undelete Gotchi. Or review the principles cited by Gotchi entry, the etymological logic given, the neologism rebuttal, and give a good reason why it remains deleted?

As I have said, please put it on deletion review if you want it undeleted. Wikipedia is based on consensus, so other users must support undeletion before I can do it. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:06, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

It is on the deletion discussion page. I object strongly to your methods. It is as if mobbing, even dirty language mobbing is acknowledged by you as 'discussion,' and that an entry therefore is guilty until proven innocent. There isnt a single objection that holds water. All have been addressed. No rebuttable. If persons just delete with a minimum of study and knowledge, and then have no time to communicate with the author of an entry, they have zero right to access push button deletion. You win little respect and perhaps your notion of power runs against the need for knowledge sharing. power is not a will, it is a responsibility. If this note gives you the urge to delete Gotchi for sure, then you ought to step down and let someone who has time to review discussions, look at the quality and the care of those participating and make a judgement based on that and not perhaps just by familiarity of certain individuals who enjoy a cursory deletion recommendation with no time themselves either to actually think about it!

You have had oodles of time to explain your deletion, to answer my defense? I expect a full explanation for your deletion. I do not accept your advocacy for wikipedia as substantial credentials. I hope to read your full report later today, or tomorrow at the latest. And please carefully review all of the points in my defense of my entry so that your deletion decision is well founded. I look forward to your reasons. They will speak for the seriousness and consensus in the wikipedia project, which deserves thoughtful deletion decisions, not those based on quick, trigger happy and even dirty language deletion requests up against timestaking and well researched defence arguments. Gotchi is not guilty! Check the deletion review and undelete it. If there are serious objections, I welcome them on the Gotchi entry discussion page. He who is in haste, makes waste! Undelete or explain fully!

I have undeleted it and moved it to User:SpacePlace/Gotchi so that you can work on it. If you believe it has achieved enough notability to survive AFD, then you may re-submit it in the article Gotchi. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:42, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

RFA?

It's been almost 6 months since your last RFA, and I think you'll make a great admin, with over 8,000 edits, over 7 months time, and many lasting contributions and vandalism reverts. Will you accept a nomination, and if so, when? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:27, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliments. I suppose six months is long enough, plus I'm nearing the 10k mark (for those who care about edit counts). Would you mind waiting a week from today? This weekend will be busy; I'd like to have enough time to respond to the RFA questions thoroughly (that was one of my mistakes last time around). OhNoitsJamie^Talk 00:42, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

IRCDig

• IRCDig Deletion - What was the reason for deleting this page? There was no particular reason for such an action and really no clear support for the decision.
  • Remember that AFD is not a vote; see Template:AfdAnons for an explanation. It is based on consensus and the quality of edits, since there is no ballot to stuff. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:48, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Yes but the discussion page had 3 votes for deletion and 2 for keep And the three for deletion were all from deletion nazis. The page was informative, not advertising and not insulting to anyone. What were the grounds for deletion?
      • If you believe the deletion to be unjust, you can ask for another consideration at Wikipedia:Deletion review. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Newbie question

Thank you for declaring the right result concerning the deletion debate of Star Wreck. I am relatively new here, and I do not know what is the procedure for closing debates. Can anyone do it once concensus has emerged (probably not), or does one need some kind of special authorization? Punainen Nörtti 05:12, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

If you're relatively new here, I'm afraid not. An admin can close all types of debates, and experienced normal users or "admins-in-training" can close non-controversial debates ending in "keep", "merge", "redirect", etc., anything that doesn't involve admin powers like "delete". -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

RFA nom

Hi King of Hearts; Blnguyen just asked me about an RFA nom; I said that I'd accept a nomination, but that you'd made the same offer earlier. Perhaps you could nominate and he could second the nomination? Either way, I'd still prefer to wait until Friday or later. Thanks! OhNoitsJamie^Talk 04:02, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Sure, I'll do it around Friday. Remember that the nomination starts ONLY after it first appears on the main WP:RFA page, so change the date & time and list it after you're done answering the questions (take your time). -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:06, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

HD123 blanking/deleting user pages

Greetings! I noticed that about two weeks ago, you warned HD123 for unwarrantedly deleting or blanking user pages. He was apparently upset today that I took some improperly used fair-use images out of an article he edited, so he put up the delete and block tags on my page (which somebody else has already removed). I thought it bad form to warn him myself, but since you were familiar with his behaviour, I thought I'd pass it along to you.

Good news

You did a good job not only closing Girlfriend's 5th Afd, but adding an HTML comment to protect a 6th Afd.

Bad news

I do think it is probable that when December is reached and more sockpuppets of Science3456 continue, someone of this kind who sees it will put it up for Afd again immediately. Georgia guy 17:56, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

User:Matthvm

Please do not WP:BITE the newbies. I've unblocked matthvm, as this entire "disruption" thing was about the deletion of a perfectly good corp stub article about a notable company. He was right to restore the article, and CSD-A7 does NOT apply to articles speedily deleted. If someone wanted it deleted, the right thing to do would be to AFD the article. This was not done, and instead the article was simply speedied again and complaints from the user in question were silenced with a completely inappropriate one-week block. He had to resort to the OTRS queue to get an answer. I strongly urge you to re-examine our deletion and blocking policies. FCYTravis 20:52, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Battle in Outer Space activity

Hi, King of Hearts. I'm curious about the sudden flurry of activity over at the Battle in Outer Space article. Did I make an error with my original poster image? Why was it replaced? I seem to remember it being alright, but can't locate it now-- was it deleted? And is there some kind of edit war starting up over the date? The 1959/1960 thing obviously is between the Japanese & US releases. I think I originally mistakenly labeled it a '60 release, but '59 would be more accurate, though a mention of the 1960 US release is appropriate too. Just wondering... -- Rizzleboffin 19:13, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Since the date is disputable, I've renamed the image to simply Image:Battle in Outer Space.jpg. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Girl changes -> vandalism

I have to say that I'm really sorry to have caused any problems. I fully endorse Wikipedia, and consider it to be one of the best things to come out of the Internet. The reason for the changes to "girl" is probably my girlfriend (who shares my computer). I know she made changes, but not how much. I believe she deleted a sentence saying that "Girls are obviously inferior to boys" or something extreme like that... Could have been more.

I'll tell her that she shouldn't indiscriminately change things like that. =)

Sorry mate, won't happen again....

getting pics into the commons

Jhamez84

I believe a misunderstanding has arisen regarding user:Jhamez84 whom you seem to have blocked regarding 3RR. You may not be aware, but this user has been desperately defending himself and articles he contributes too against a banned user who has been using several sockpuppets to act out a vendetta against him, vandalising various articles and reverting any attempt to correct his vandalism. Today the vandal tried a different angle with a different sockpuppet by changing an article removing entire paragraphs and claiming it was in the interest of Wikipedia's page size rules. Obvious to him this was the same user, Jhamez84 reverted the changes. I'm led to believe 3RR doesn't count if you are reverting changes made by a blocked user so if this is true Jhames84 should now not be blocked for 3RR and this is all a huge misunderstanding. Additionally it would now seem to the person with the vendetta that he has won. It would be a shame if this would be true. Other administrators like yourself are aware of the situation already and have been in contact with Jhamez84 with support for his attempts to eradicate the vandal. All the proof for this issue can be found in the history of the Shaw and Crompton article. May I respectfully request you review this case and hopefully remove the block. Thanks for your time. ~~ Peteb16 22:19, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for removing the block - however Jhamez is apparently unable to make changes to articles and is requesting Adminsitrator assistance. Meanwhile User:Filmfan1971 is continuing to post spurious comments about user:Jhamez84 without actually being signed in - user:213.122.34.70 is his IP address and his submissions (still being signed Filmfan1971) seem to be confusing other admins who are warning him against editing his own user page. He is also ralying up support from other users and boasting to them that user:Jhamez84 has been blocked... regardless of the fact it's been revoked. Not sure if this goes further to proving this users guilt, but I just thought I'd keep you up-to-date anyway :). Thanks again. ~~ Peteb16 22:59, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Question on vandalism

You seem to be pretty involved with reverting vandalism, so I want to make sure that I dealt with a case of vandalism (my first) in the right way.

1. User:205.188.116.8, an AOL IP address, changed info [2] on the Shawn Michaels article.
2. Although it wasn't noticably incorrect to a non-wrestling fanatic like me, the IP has a history of vandalism. So I reverted it to the previous version.
3. Seeing as the IP's [User talk:205.188.116.8|talkpage had a plethora of warnings already]], I left [3] a level three template.

Should I have done anything else, or was my response okay? Picaroon9288 02:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

1. If the vandal continues, give them a test4 or bv. If they still persist, list them on WP:AIV. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 16:20, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

When I added the repost tag to Disney 411 it had a talk page that pre-dated the article by a month. I checked it myself, and I even made note of it in one of my edit summaries.

Template:Substub

Hey there! I see you have deleted {{substub}} and protected it. Howver, you didn't wrap the {{deletedmiscpage}} tag in <noinclude></noinclude> tags. Consequently, a few pages transcluding it are displaying the tag now. On the other hand, I saw someone expertimenting with {{substub}} on an article, they seemed to be deterred by the deletion notice and removed it. This leads me to an assumption that the lack of noinclude tags may have been intentional. Can you clear it up, please? Cheers, Misza13 ^{T C} 08:55, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi - I just realised that {{deletedmiscpage}} isn't really appropriate for stub types, since it points to WP:MFD rather than WP:SFD - so i've created {{deletedstubpage}}, which parallels the other one but has the right process page details for stub types. Grutness...wha? 00:49, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Forced Save (question on Village Pump (Technical))

You wrote:

Ever since the 2006 FIFA World Cup began, I've been forced to go through so many edit conflicts when editing that page. I think that for extra-frustrated people who can never get their version in, there should be "force save" button to paste in their version no matter what. However, since two people might both press "force save", causing another conflict, then perhaps make the "forced save" option available to only those who have gone through at least three edit conflicts. How's this idea sound? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:17, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I have a response there, which may be of help to you:

I created some "In Use" templates more than two years ago — November of 2003 — to take care of just this issue, so that you could save a page with a flag to ask people to give you a short period of time - say 5 minutes to 1/2 an hour - to make a change and not cause a conflict. Some people have even improved on them to make the message work better. There are two forms, {{Inuse|5 minutes}} or {{Inuse|5 minutes}} or {{Inuse||for=|until 3:20 PM EDT 6/26}} in which case you get either of the following:

5 Minutes:

Until 3:20:

Save the page first with this message, then re-edit. Make the changes, and, of course, remove this template reference when you re-save. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 19:03, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

192.197.82.203/ Arthur Ellis

Hi, 192.197.82.203 has reverted a comment I made on 72.136.201.103 user page. The comment in concern was about Arthur Ellis. The Arthur Ellis account was created 3 days after ths user account of Ceraurus was banned. And the ban has yet to be lifted. I have posted a warning that 192.197.82.203 is a suspect sock puppet of Ceraurus. I wish I could do the same about Arthur Ellis, but I am not going to through the whole checkuser process again. Please note that I suspect that the IP 192.197.82.203 is a computer at the University of Ottawa. Also note that Admin. bucketsofg has also placed a suspected sock puppet on user User talk:192.197.82.153. Which is a shockingly similar IP address.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Ceraurus&action=edit

Abouve is a list of suspected sock puppets of Ceraurus. I would also like to include Artur Ellis into the fold.

Could you please review the history of Arthur Ellis, 192.197.82.203 to determine if they are sock puppets of Ceraurus. Ceraurus is banned indefenitely, and I do not think that it is proper for him to use sock puppets while under this ban.

Pete Peters 17:32, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

The language of used by 192.197.82.203 is similiar to that of Arthur Ellis. See comment below. Pete Peters 18:52, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

He is now using his home IP 70.51.52.253, because his current account is supsended for 24 hours. He is defacing his biggest politicial foe in Ottawa Wiki entry, who happens to be a journalist. This guy is will not give up, his hates Warren Kinsella, and spends a lot of his free time editing that. He has got to be stopped, or atleast limited in what he can edit. Pete Peters 18:52, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Ceraurus sockpuppet warning

The warning was placed yesterday by a vandal Pete Peters and the application for checkuser was rejected. You will see that Pete Peters registered yesterday and has done nothing but stalk a few posters and make allegations that proved to be untrue. Check his talk page and be more careful please.

If you had clicked the RFCU, this is what you would have seen:

Ceraurus Ceraurus (talk • contribs • block user • block log • checkuser) Arthur Ellis (talk • contribs • block user • block log • checkuser) Explanation of the request for CheckUser. Pete Peters 17:56, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Ceraurus account was banned indefinitely on 20 May 2006. A new account by the name Arthur Ellis emerged on the 23 May 2006.

Arthur Ellis is the only account to defend Ceraurus on Ceraurus user talk page.[1] In fact Arthur Ellis’s first entry was on Ceraurus user talk page.[2]

Arthur Ellis and Ceraurus are the only two accounts that have made edits regarding Rachel Marsden, Mark Bourrie, and Warren Kinsella.

Ceraurus is Mark Bourrie, and should not be allowed to dominate the Warren Kinsella's Wikipedia entry. The two don’t like each other, and in the past Mr. Kinsella has filed suit against Mr. Bourrie.

I am hoping that Arthur Ellis is proven to be a sock puppet of Ceraurus. I am also hoping that he not be allowed to ever again to dominate Wikipedia entries, like he has done in the past.

I am not Mark Bourrie or Ceraurus. "Pete Peters" is a new account set up to stalk and attempt to out me. Pls. check his poostings and block account for vandalismArthur Ellis 21:58, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you indeed. And GOD bless you abundantly with wisdom and JESUS' peace! Cheers!

Protection of Dubya

I disagree with your protection of page Dubya. It has only been vandalized once in the last 10 months, and has less than 20 edits total in its entire history of a year and a half. It is hardly a "vandal magnet"; it has been vandalized less than most articles. This is not a high-visibility page and it has been subject to no persistent vandalism. It does not warrant protection under Wikipedia:Protection_policy. Please unprotect it. —Centrx→talk • 20:25, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

What use is there if it's unprotected? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:29, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

One use I can think of is if something else is named "Dubya" that warrants its own article. There does exist, for example, an author named "Jay Dubya"[5], and aside from this person there may be others with the same name. In such case, it could warrant either a redirect to that person or a disambiguation page, and there is no reason to rather permanently discouraging that from happening.

Regardless, it does not matter if we are able to think up some unknown future edit that could be made to the page. The principle of the wiki is openness, and there is no reason for protecting the page under the protection policy. —Centrx→talk • 22:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

It's only semi. IP's aren't supposed to be able to create new pages anyways, and changing this to a new article is the equivalent of creating one when it doesn't exist (which is disabled for anons). Besides, they could just list it on WP:AFC. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:29, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

So the Wikipedia:Semi-protection policy page should be changed? Also, the page should be put in Category:Semi-protected. —Centrx→talk • 04:13, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

No, it's just a case of WP:IAR. I mean, who's going to change it if it isn't vandalism? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:51, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

stolen sidekick?

A) why'd ya delete it? B) why'd ya protect it?68.235.204.72 22:06, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Click on the link to the AFD (Articles for Deletion) discussion; it will tell you why. I've protected it so that it is not re-created. It has been continuously created (and deleted again), so we must lock it to prevent that from happening again. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
