  Thank you...

...for participating in my RfA, which closed with 119 in support, 4 neutral and 5 opposes. I'm honestly overwhelmed at the level of support that I've received from the community, and will do my best to maintain the trust placed in me. I 'm also thankful to those who opposed or expressed a neutral position, for providing clear rationales and superb feedback for me to build on. I've set up a space for you to provide any further feedback or thoughts, should you feel inclined to. However you voted, thanks for taking the time out to contribute to the process, it's much appreciated. Kind regards, Gazimoff 21:45, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Just a little note to say thankyou for participating in my successful RFA candidacy, which passed with 96 supports, 0 opposes, and 1 neutral. I am pleasantly taken aback by the amount of support for me to contribute in an administrative role and look forward to demonstrating that such faith is well placed.

Can you modify the "declined, sorry" notice to be more generic? I.e. "Your permission request" "Your request for permission" - since it's telling people who requested ACC that we declined their rollback request. Cheers, –xeno (talk) 19:14, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Inputbox

Latest comment: 15 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi Soxred, regarding the bug you filed on bugzilla for extra functionality for the inputbox extension, I don't really understand the status of this issue now. So there is a patch, but the functionality doesn't seem to have changed on wikipedia yet. Is that because they don't update automatically? Explain please. Thanks, MSGJ (talk) 11:41, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

It's because the developers haven't implemented the bug as of yet. Soxπed93(blag) 14:53, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

ACC tool

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hey, I was wondering if I could request to become an admin on the ACC? I've been on there for a while now, I'm pretty sure I've got the hand of things, and considering there are less than 23 admins, I thought I'd give it a go asking.

Hope all is well, happy editing.

Are you still doing coaching? My former coach, Rudget, has retired without informing me (I have only just found out.) There is not much more work to do as far as I know, you can see the current progress here. Have a nice day.  Asenine  15:28, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I suppose, I mean, I promised Legoktm my last spot, but because my other coachee is almost finished, I'll accept you as my coachee. X! who used to be Soxred93 15:48, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Questions about SoxBot I

Latest comment: 15 years ago6 comments3 people in discussion

I'm looking at the whole bots-tagging-orphans issue, and was wondering:

  1. Where does SoxBot look to find orphans? (Lonelypages, UncategorizedPages, ...?)
  2. Why hasn't SoxBot tagged an orphan since June 1?

Thanks. --JaGatalk 17:01, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

1) Lonelypages. 2) The server it ran on is down, and it uses too much memory to run on the m:Toolserver. I might rewrite it soon, so it uses less memory. X! who used to be Soxred93 17:03, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the info! The reason I ask is, I'm hoping to get the 1000 article limit on Lonelypages lifted (from a discussion on Wikipedia talk:Special:LonelyPages#Does anyone use this?), and this gives me another justification. I don't think there's a mainspace or even new pages-patrolling bot for orphans, so Lonelypages is our best shot, and it currently doesn't get out of the A's. --JaGatalk 17:29, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
I was actually working on getting it to use the database, which gets every article, even if they are not listed on Lonelypages. X! who used to be Soxred93 18:17, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
I should've looked here before I wrote this. But of course, dropping the 1000 article limit would be a good thing anyways, if we can do it. Have you gotten approval for scanning the whole database? I saw Addshore's RFA was rejected when he wanted to go beyond Lonelypages. --JaGatalk 00:36, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Addbot's request was not actually rejected. It was withdrawn because Soxbot was already doing it. If Soxbot isn't doing it, it might be worthwhile to have Addshore re-file the request.--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 17:46, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

user page deletion

Latest comment: 15 years ago4 comments3 people in discussion

i noticed that my user page was deleted by you. it was a redirect to my user page on zh.wiki (my 'home' wiki). although it cannot do a redirect, it can show a link to zh:User:Liangent. i don't think it's 'an non-existent page'. --Liangent (talk) 05:37, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

I think because the redirect wasn't to a local page, it was being reported as a broken redirect. I've changed it to use {{softredirect}} instead. EVula // talk // ☯ // 05:42, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Exactly. The script I used to generate a list of broken redirects (which was the same query that MediaWiki uses) thought that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/zh:User:Liangent didn't exist. Xclamation point 15:20, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
And this is why I do every edit by hand, eschewing scripts and other automated tools. :P EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:57, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Great! I have set up a coaching page for you at User:Legoktm/ADCO, you can go ahead with the first stage. Please remember that I have some standards for coachees:
  1. watch your coaching page closely, and reply to every post there in a timely fashion
  2. fill in all of your edit summaries (if you find yourself forgetting, there's a setting in "my preferences" that will remind you)
  3. complete all the assignments you are given to the best of your ability. If you have trouble with an assignment, by all means, let me know, so we can discuss possible solutions and alternatives.
  4. don't go for your RfA or accept an RfA nomination except from me - I will nominate you when I believe you are ready.
