[edit] Deletion

Hi, Jim: when you mark an article for speedy deletion it is helpful if you add a reason in the tag.--Anthony.bradbury 15:27, 19 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Islam in China reverts

I notified Madman that his edits to Islam in China were in violation of the three reverts rule. Now that notice has been served to his talk page, it'd be kosher for you to report him at WP:AN/3RR. It's gotta stop at some point, and nothing short of getting the admins involved is going to stop it. MrZaiustalk 22:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Admin Stats

Not to sound selfish or anything, but I was just curious what my admin stats were. Yanksox 14:16, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I will see if I can sort out a sub-page or something. I am reluctant to provide stats for identified admins without them asking for it, but we will see. Here are yours (excuse the raw format - it should be tab-delimited) (Jim182 14:30, 24 September 2006 (UTC)):

Very cool, thank you very much. Yanksox 14:34, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

You may want to look at some of the stats on the pages listed here. NoSeptember 14:46, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. See also admin statdump sub-page. Jim182 15:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Admin actions (block/delete)

Quote: "Admin actions are simply defined as: block, unblock, delete, restore, protect, and unprotect."

Would it be possible to do a comparison of the pairs of actions (block/unblock; delete/restore; protect/unprotect)?

I found it interesting that deletion is over 80% of action, for example. - jc37 15:41, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I will take a look and see if I can pull anything interesting from it, but I am a little unclear about what you might be expecting. The proportion of deletions has remained relatively constant over time, since it is the 'staple' of the admins' actions. You can see from this image the approximate proportions, and from the data in the subpage a further breakdown, but I will see if I can present it better. I get the impression that there is one set of admins who do the page protection, and another lot who do the unprotection (!) - I hope to analyse that further. The same may be true of the deletions and restorations. There is something to consider about the delete/restore statistics, and even the protect/unprotect stats, and that is that they can often be part of the same single action - for example merging page histories involves deleting then restoring parts of an article, and page protections are often tweaked from full to semi-protection, and also user blocks are often undone to enable a lengthier block. I will see what I can find, but if you have anything more specific in mind, just say. Jim182 19:27, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
All of that sounds very interesting (and I am interested in those results as well, if for no other reason than curiosity : )
As for my question, I'm mostly attempting to determine how many admins regularly use the block/unblock tools. That alone, and in comparison to those admins that use the other tools (comparison: the same admin regularly blocking and deleting, or different admins, each doing something different.) Thanks again, that graph you just linked to was very interesting. - jc37 12:56, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
