[edit] Arbcom Case

You have no Right to make that Jodie Foster revert Gwernol. Your all ready in trouble. caught you in a blatant lie b/f the ArbCom Gwernol. You can check that page to see what I mean. If this was a Court of Law this would be considered perjury. Stop your Abuses now before its too late. You're going to be in big trouble.

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for restoring that. Runescape4lyfe 02:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for supporting my RfA

 Thank you for your support in my RfA, which passed with a final tally of (56/0/2). It was great to see so much kind support from such competent editors and administrators as commented on my RfA.

I know I have much reading to do before I'll feel comfortable enough to use some of the more powerful admin tools, so I'll get right to it.

Again, thanks; └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 13:41, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stolen barnstars

User:Jasethesurfy has stolen three of your barnstars, including the one I gave you. I've removed them from his user page (so you'll have to see the history to see them), but thought you'd like to know. I've seen some poor behavior on WP, but stealing other people's barnstars? That's just low.... Akradecki 15:08, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IronChris

Haha ok, sorry. You should tell IronChris to back off from deleting everything I post on here, he seems to be making alot of people pissed off. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gr1mKvlt (talk • contribs).

[edit] The vandal

FYI, I'm sure you've figured it out, but I'm fairly certain that GrimKvlt and Major t are the same person. Keep it in mind if you need to escalate things any further. --badlydrawnjeff talk 16:41, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About the message to 206.15.236.254

I appologize for the recent vandalisim, but it is hard to track the vandals. Tis ip (206.15.236.254) belongs to an entire school and if blocked will affect more than ~3000 people.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.15.236.254 (talk • contribs).

[edit] I don't understand

A link I submitted to the mortgage calulator page was deleted instantly as spam. That was a useful resource related directly to the page contents. I read the guidelines and that link should have met the criteria. It would be the most useful link for that category as well as it has numerous calculators related to a variety of loan research needs. If that is considered spam then what about the "Karl's Mortgage Calculator" link. It is one calculator that has ads draped down the side of the page? Not one ad resided in my link, the page is hosted on a mortgage company website but it only services Phoenix and there is no pitching done on the resource pages. Please don't be so trigger happy with the deletions, I understand you guys get hammered but deleting useful relevant resources is not the solution. Please explain if there is something I could do to include the link I provided. I'm proud of the resource and would like it to be used.

[edit] London Underground Criticism article

The section I created contained well sourced research - there were many points, which have previous entries in the current article. There were also external links.

Rather than deleting everything altogether, which you did, you could have searched for references yourself. I am a newish user to Wikipedia, and do not know how to do the little numbered reference points, so just included hyperlinks.

I have reverted, and improved the points. Please put info on my talk page if you wish to add further.

Thanks! --Sexyb1atch 19:15, 2 November 2006 (UTC)~~~~

Actually, scrap that. You were right in some points. I will have to think about how to make this section better before just reverting it. --Sexyb1atch 19:18, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rhoeni

I only gave her page a cursory overlook. I wasn't aware it was a c&p until I looked at her edit log. HalfShadow 00:22, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] theXenon

Not sure if I am doing this right, but my edits to the fascism article were NOT vandalism. It's interesting though that only one side of the story is allowed to be told here on Wikipedia which likes to hold itself up as a paragon of virtue and communal knowledge. Too bad the censors are still at work. Long live free speech, just not here. Right? 03:18, 3 November 2006 (UTC)03:18, 3 November 2006 (UTC)~~

[edit] Question

Given the fact that the addresses are only one digit off and given the sheer randomness of the edits from them, I'm almost certain this is a school ip, but the WHOIS doesn't verify this. Is there a 'may be a school ip' version of {{schoolip}}? HalfShadow 17:44, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disappointed

  • I just had my first bad experience with Wikipedia - I love this place. I'm trying to post an article Idea Sandbox with links to problem solving, creativity, brainstorming for business folks... I'm not even started on it and I'm getting edited, tagged for deletion, etc. I read the rules and understand there is a fine line between advertisement and information. While I appreciate what makes Wikipedia so awesome - is it's NOT filled with spammy ads and junk. I don't feel I was crossing that line. I'd like to chat with someone (e-mail/IM) to better understand how I may construct something w/o crossing the line. That line feels arbitrary to me. Thanks - Paul IdeaSandbox 02:32, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Idea Sandbox and reference to me has been referenced in two published books as well as in credible magazine (print/web). Perhaps you we could discuss via my user page. Thanks! IdeaSandbox 02:45, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Thanks for your help. I posted some final thoughts in my user page. I appreciate your time and assistance. IdeaSandbox 10:38, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] new idea

Whilst you're blocking User:Uptheass22, I've been thinking about a possible solution. As an administrator, do you have the ability to delete old versions of articles? If it is possible to delete all the old, vandalised versions from the page history and any future ones as they happen, then the ease with which it can be re-vandalised is significantly decreased and the hastle involved could/should act as some sort of dis-incentive. What do you think? DJR (T) 13:48, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More vandalism from IPs

You better watch it Gwernol. Your nothing but a Vandal. If you want another hearing before the ArbCom be my guest. Next time you won't be so lucky so stop your abuse of powers. My attorneys are still looking into you. A $5 miilion judgment againt you wont look so good. How about some jail time? I am not kidding you.

[edit] What'd I do wrong?

My linking the Local Calling Area Guide in the Local exchange carrier was for a non-commercial, ad-free resource that doesn't ask for donations. Quite similar in spirit to the Wikipedia actually. I have no relationship with the site owner, nor do I have anything to gain from web hits at that site. I went through the policy pages as you suggested to see if I was mistaken in thinking my contribution appropriate.

The home page for the site states:

This site contains local calling, area code, and prefix information for Canada, the United States of America, and other countries which are part of the North American Numbering Plan.

This site and its editor have no affiliation with any telephone company or organization. As this is a non-commercial project...


I found this from Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links

There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia.

There were no external links present so I think a link with comprehensive info like a local exchange database and LATA guide, etc.. were pertinent to anyone seeking more information on the subject. I had to google a bit myself to find the link in question after I'd read the article here and was interested in more specific information.

It also doesn't look like it violates any of the '10 commandments' here: external links guideline

I've looked at other related articles which have similar types of information.. either inline or linked externally. Most notably Competitive Local Exchange Carrier, NANPand RBOC. In fact, there are links to corporate sites no less.

A good example is: Local access and transport area has an external link to U.S. LATA map and list which seems no better.

What makes this different than all of these? I can't find anything in the help pages that explains why it was removed.

I've been a registered user here for some time now, and have contributed to the Wikipedia financially as well as to its articles. I care about Wikipedia, its rarely failed to enlighten me on something that I'm looking into. I don't edit much, but when I do I'd like to think I'm being constructive. In this case I couldn't find what I was looking for here, so I wanted to share it with everyone else. I appreciate the notice on my talk page, and am aware that monitoring this project requires some expediency in dealing with voluminous spam and vandalism, but unless I've missed something, I don't see what criteria your referring to that it ought to be removed. I don't want to get anything erased in the future here either, so please explain more specifcially why it was a bad edit. In other words.. What'd I do wrong? ;) SophisticatedPrimate 10:54, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!)
Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach.

Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
What's New?
The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one!
A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  • The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  • There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia.
  • The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested!
  • In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias.
  • A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted!
  • Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello.
Signed...

20:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

[edit] Thanks for the Revert

Glad you took a second look, I'll add a more descriptive tag to that link so it makes clear that its a legit edit. Take care. SophisticatedPrimate 00:21, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IP autoblock from User:Cpofserozza hitting User:Eapos apparently

Eapos, who says that Cpofserozza is an ex-tennant of their families rental house next door (take that as you will...) just complained that the Cpofserozza block is IP autoblocking her. Can you check on your block of Cpofserozza and see if it's possible to narrow it or some such? The whole situation is a little wierd, but it looks like you blocked them on their request, so avoiding collateral damage even if it is possibly them back as a sock seems reasonable. Thanks...

[edit] 800 mm (2 ft 7½ in)

In the case of Pilatus Railway I replaced the comparison 800 mm (2 ft 7½ in) with 800 mm (2 ft 71⁄2 in) but then I did not want the original comparison to be lost. I then decided to add 800 mm (2 ft 7½ in) to Wengernalpbahn & Brienz Rothorn Bahn as an alternative to 800 mm (2 ft 71⁄2 in). If you can think of a better place to include the two alternative comparisons, do so.

[edit] How do you block users whose IP address keeps changing?

At Wikia:ChristianMusic:, we don't have that problem now, but we are growing rapidly and I figure it is a matter of time before the vandals notice. I figure most would hate Christian Music. Will (Talk - contribs) 03:56, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Locomotives

That is a valid disadvantage of loco hauled trains. If you split a loco hauled train mid route the rear section of the train has no power to move and is stuck there so they cannot in fact be split up. Please comment on this, I won't revert for the moment but to me it is a valid point. Dellarb 10:30, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

The ability to split MU trains and retain driving cabs does exist. Most commuter trains have driving cabs at each end of a 2,3 or 4 car unit and 2-3 units may be coupled together so when they are split a drivers car exists at each end. German multiple unit ICE sets are often coupled together so once they reach a station halfway they are uncoupled and the first diverges to a different destination while the second continues on. I can re write this section if you want me explain this in the article. Dellarb 10:48, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gigmasters.com

Just want to say "thanks" to those editors who contributed to getting Gigmasters.com reinstated on Wikipedia. The references really helped.

I believe you previously deleted this article as a recreation of Gigmasters.com, Inc. which was deleted after this AfD. So I thought you'd be interested to know that User:Jeternyc has recreated this article, the Kevin H. Kinyon article and added wikilinks to these articles on other articles on Wikipedia. I believe this is the same editing pattern as displayed last time these articles were recreated. --Siobhan Hansa 16:20, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Wow - thanks for the fleet footed response. May your admin powers never dim :-) --Siobhan Hansa 16:36, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, what is a sockpuppet? Thanks, Jeter

Thanks for that answer. I think I understand a bit better now. Wikipedia seems to be such a counterintuitive web site. I didn't know I was ever permitted to edit in the first place. And here I thought a sockpupper was Kookla, Fran, and Ollie.

[edit] Royal Arsenal

Hi Gwernol,

I'm curious as to why you regard the Royal Arsenal as a WikiProject UK railway related article? I'm well aware the Arsenal made steam engines and wagons for a short while immediately after the end of WW II (because I added it, amongst other additions to the Arsenal article), but that was Government policy to avoid laying off staff, and it was a minor episode in what was three centuries of making and designing military weapons and explosives. It's not a "Project" decision I would agree with, but I thought I would ask.

P.S. I've no problem with you adding an Industrial railways Category and/or a Minimum gauge railway Category like you've done with ROF Bishopton; but the Royal Arsenal is hardly a transport article.

Changing subject: you're doing a great job on British industrial narrow gauge railways. Pyrotec 20:00, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. The narrow gauge railway system totally slipped my mind; and there was no signs of it by the late 1970s early 1980s so I must have wiped it from my memory. I had a look at Masters (quoted in article) and he gives a reference to B.R. Clarke and C.C. Veitch, The 18 inch Royal Arsenal Railway; Woolwich. I've tracked down a copy, just 12 miles down the road from here and placed an order: was only £3.50 plus postage. I'll give more details when I have it. Pyrotec 20:03, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recently Deleted Page

I had a page dedicated to The Speed of Thought Players (SOTP) and it was recently deleted. The grounds of the deletion were that there was no notability when it came to the group. However, I noticed that on a seperate page of listed improv groups all over the country, SOTP is listed under RI. Plus, the group meets the criteria for being listed there. We have one performance a week, every week, and we have been established for 8 years.

I understand that our listing on that page and our seperate Wiki page are two different things. What I would like to know is what kind of page can I make in order for it to be legit. We are a well established group that is even recognized on Wikipedia for that. What kind of page do I have to make in order for it to be considered notable and legit.

If you would like to review the deletion record, the page is listed as "The Speed of Thought Players (SOTP)".

Thank you for your time.

[edit] Lordy... did you see/hear about the latest yesterday with our slightly unbalanced friend?

I was in stitches!  Glen  17:54, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay, it all started when I came across this unblock request, using the reasoning "Autoblocked because IP 24.91.213.225 was used by LorenzoPerosi1898. 24.91.213.225 is a public computer. Kindly soften IP, thank you"
Thinking that was a tad odd as I never recalled seeing any evidence of his using a shared IP I did a little snooping, and say, 20 minutes later had this: Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/LorenzoPerosi1898 <--- Suffice to say Stephen Hawking sleeps a little easier in the knowledge his intellect wont be challenged here anyway. Hysterical! :)
So I blocked him.
Since then he has filed no less than four unblock requests, (in fact one was just declined a wee while ago) so I added a note Reviewing admin please see Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/LorenzoPerosi1898 which he removes each time, along with all the earlier requests/declines.
I fear we have a long term problem user brewing... thankfully not a terribly smart one!  Glen  18:20, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I've noticed you had some past dealings with this user, and wanted to call to your attention his repeated reverting of this page, attmpting to reintroduce the same unsourced, speculative info that various editors keep trying to clean up.

[edit] Nuuro

Hi Gwernol,

I recently added an entry on this artist, Nuuro, I am aware that it might have not been perfect since it is my first submission. The deletion code's description said: "non-notable biography / article about a person, group, company, or website that does not assert the notability of the subject." But IMHO Nuuro can be considered a rising star in the IDM genre. He is currently working on his third CD, and has a moderate fan-base. If the cause of the deletion was a poorly written article, please let me know and I will get a friend, who is more experienced in wiki's than I am, to write it for me, or I will put it up as a request. If you just consider Nuuro just not material fir Wikipedia, also let me know and I will just stop trying to get this article up.

Thanks,
AnDReS123 00:25, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks And Request

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my userpage. On another topic I think I may have made some sort of mix up with regards to the notability of Falconer formula. I thought it was a recreated article and then confusingly enought, it seems it wasn't. oO Not sure what I did, but considering said creator of article has referred to me as an "a-hole" on Talk:Falconer formula, someone else should probably figure out where I went awry. Sorry for the confusion. ^^; And thanks again on the reverts. :) -WarthogDemon 00:29, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Responce

I understand what you said, and I respect that. Ryan_dude200 already responded to your comment. That is why I deleted it. Besides he knows me and will let me edit his articles. Thank you for being concerned though.

[edit] test5 notices

please don't accuse me of doing things i haven't done, its disrespectful.

on the subject of test5 notice, when a user commits an act of blatant vandalism you can go straight to the blantantvandal tag. If that dosen't deter that user than you use the test5 tag. the user you where refering to 70.190.254.23 was committing blatant vandalism, you put a test1 tag which didn't seem appropriate, which i "updated" to the blatant vandal tag. The 70.190.254.23 repeated the act of vandalism which warranted a the test5 tag.

Now of the subject of putting "fake" tags. you must be missing something. there have been several act of vandalism by users but no tag was issued. so i issued the tag. The time lapse between the vandalism and tagging is probably what is making it difficult for you to see. now you can remove any tag you wish i just don't recommend it.

now the "subst" component to the test tags there is a BOT that corrects those errors, which I'm not as concerned with as identifying vandals. But i will do from now on. Thanks for the FYI. which by the way i wasn't aware i was required by Wiki law to do.

If you have any questions about users i have tagged please send a drop me a line. --aceslead 04:49, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

the tag you removed from user:152.163.100.132 was warranted because the user who reverted the vandalism didn't issue a tag. i issued a test5 tag because numerous warnings were issued as you saw. but with no results. if you would like to see the history of that user. Go to this link user:152.163.100.132 conttributions.--aceslead 05:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Now in regards to User talk:70.190.254.23the tags i issued first the blatantvandal tag and then second the test5 tag, which was a more appropriate response to the acts of vandalism. both followed act of vandalism.--aceslead 05:06, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Are you issuing me a test5 notice?--aceslead 20:01, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

I go away for a couple days to tend to family matters and apparently I have a fan club. Thanks for cleaning up the vandalism! Wildthing61476 20:29, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userpage

Well it's your own silly fault for unprotecting it... ;)
On an unrelated note, our RFAr is becoming a bit of a mess. The latest complaint is about how I... declined a WP:RFPP request. Hmm. -- Steel 21:05, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

You are very welcome. I had to protect mine for a few hours yesterday. :( --Guinnog 21:12, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ASIAN WISCONZINE

Here are some points for your consideration:

1. The MAGAZINE is the FIRST AND ONLY ALL-INCLUSIVE MAGAZINE IN WISCONSIN. It is a milestone in itself.

2. The publisher has received various certificates of recognition from the governor of Wisconsin, the Dane County executive, and the Mayor of the City of Madison

3. Most recently, the publisher and editor received the 2006 Journalist of the year award for the State of Wisconzine from the US Small Business Administration.

4. Asian Wisconzine is the ONLY VENUE for discussions of issues being faced by Asian Americans in contemporary America.

It is a printed magazine with an online version distributed free in hundreds of retail outlets in Wisconsin, and has hundreds of paid subscribers in the academe, professional circles, neighborhood centers, and individual homes.

I hope this satisfies your said guidelines, and don't delete this in Wikipedia.

--Alden Pascual

The only one of these that may meet the WP:WEB criteria is the Journalist of the Year Award. Do you have a reliable source for this award? It sounds like the award is for the publisher, not the magazine itself, so this may not be enough in itself. Has there been any other media coverage of the Wisconzine? Gwernol 02:54, 11 November 2006 (UTC) Like I said, the award is for the publisher and editor which she received because of the magazine. The magazine has already covered a lot of issues and can be viewed on the website's archives (www.asianwisconzine.com). The award can be verified at www.sba.gov as a pdf file.

By the way... how will I know if the page will not be deleted anymore (I hope)? Please consider SAVING this page.

[edit] AfD comments

You are, of course, correct (and thank you). I really should wait an hour to edit Wikipedia after watching an episode of "House." Rklawton 05:12, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, that's nice to hear. I did a bit of penance and left a helpful note on the editor's talk page to see if I might help soften things up a bit. It's tough to have your first article/editing experience quashed - especially when he/she selected a topic near and dear to him. Most editors get their start by vandalizing articles, so they don't experience that full rush of rejection until much later. Rklawton 05:22, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
At least I thought I did. I must not have saved my work. Too late now, I think. Rklawton 05:47, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I tried to create a redirect page entitled Thermodynamic databases to point to the article Thermodynamic databases for pure substances.

I just semi-protected that page but after having a closer look there hasn't really been much BLP stuff since our friend a few days ago. I was thinking of lifting it. What do you think? -- Steel 10:20, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chad Kroeger

How can you say its not well referenced? All the required links have been added. This may not mean a lot to internationals, but the radio program is a nationally syndicated show - like Letterman or Leno for the radio - so its harsh to remove it because Americans and Canadians don't get the joke! 203.28.159.170 10:33, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

How do you suggest referencing something that appears on a radio show?? I've got a link to the radio's wiki page, a link to an mp3 piece, and a link to the paddlepop lion - what more can I add??

That's exactly the issue. If this were a notable enough piece of information someone would have written about it in a reliable source and you could cite that. The fact that no independent source has written about it tells you its too trivial to warrant inclusion in an encyclopedia. Gwernol 10:46, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps the real problem here is that it should be referenced on the Get This page, but a couple of WikiNazis block everything. If you were to put it there instead, would that be a better solution?
Maybe, but honestly its one fairly feeble joke about a minor rock singer's blond hair looking a bit like an advertising campaign. How is this encyclopedic? I just don't see why it should be included at all. Gwernol 10:53, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps I wasn't clear, its been an ongoing joke for at least a year, and the advertising symbol is as well known and advertised in Oz as GM or Microsoft or any other branding is, anywhere in the world. Its like Leno v Jackson - all Americans know of it, and they are both brands in their own right. Again, its unfair to downplay the regional signficance because non-regional people don't understand... Also, I have a mp3 reference, the only one I could find - again, for the time being I can't do any more.
P.S. And as far as significance goes, it WAS listed under trivia - how to improve on that?
Where have I even mentioned the regional significance? You keep accusing me of downplaying that but I haven't even mentioned it. Its nothing to do with whether the show is on in Australia or any other country. This issue is, its a joke on a radio show. Its too trivial to mention. If it was a big deal, it would be mentioned in an independent source and that's the reference you could use, but it apparently hasn't been. The fact that you can't find a reference to this joke anywhere else shows that it is non-notable. If you can find a mention of it in a major media outlet then reference that. Gwernol 11:03, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your input!

Thank you for taking part in my RfA. The RfA was not successful, mostly because I did a pretty bad job of presenting myself. I'll run again sometime in the next few months, in the hopes that some will reconsider.

In the meantime, one of the projects I'm working on is A Wikimedia Administrator's Handbook. This is a wikibook how-to guide intended to help new administrators learn the ropes, as well as to simply "demystify" what adminship entails. If you are an administrator, please help out with writing it, particularly on the technical aspects of the tools. Both administrators and non-administrators are welcome to help link in and sort all of the various policies regarding the use of these tools on wikipedia in particular (as well as other projects: for example, I have almost no experience with how things work on wiktionary or wikinews). Users who are neither familiar with policy or the sysop tools could be of great help by asking questions about anything that's unclear. The goal is to get everything together in one place, with a narrative form designed to anticipate the reader's next question.

A second project, related but not entailed, is a book on wikimedia in general, with a history of how various policies evolved over time, interesting trivia (e.g., what the heck was "wikimoney" about?), and a history of how the wikimedia foundation itself came about and the larger issues that occurred during its history (such as the infamous "Spanish Fork").

Again, thanks for your input on the RfA, and thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide for the handbook. --SB_Johnny|talk|books 13:29, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just a question

How many main administrators are there? I'm amazed just to imagine, with so many admins, there must be a great deal of conflict. I suddenly imagine Wikipedia like the house of a huge conflict of prides. It must be hard to be in here. It is like wiki is so nice in eyes of the world, but most people don't know about the backstate silence brawl.

Forastero 16:48, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Go to Special:listusers. Select Admin from the combobox. You will see a list of users. I clicked 500 (causing it to show 500 usernames per page). I then found there were 1056 admins. Will (Talk - contribs) 19:58, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just a question 2

Hi Gwernol.

On October 1st you had tagged this article as POV fork and commented that "This article appears to be an attempt to push a very specific WP:POV". Can you please have a glimpse at the progress and let me know your thoughts? I know i could but I do not wish to unilaterally take an action. Thanks Aristovoul0s 17:48, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Gwernol Just to let you know, this user has removed your warning from his talk page. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 21:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Dlohcierekim, do you know how to revert such changes? You can go into history, edit an old version, and simply save it. Wikipedia will make that text the current version. I use WP:POPUPS. That is a tool which can automate the process down to just one click. Will (Talk - contribs) 22:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Treva

Okay, thanks for letting me know. Treva appeared to be innocently asking what to do regarding CSD tags, and it would have been best to just explain why you can't delete articles on cities. However, he did get violent afterwards, so I have no disagreement with blocking him indefinitely. Nishkid64 22:06, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
