Admin Stuff

My admin actions are open for examination:

  • Blocked - subpage to keep track of users that I've blocked and want to keep an eye on for one reason or the other.

[edit] Requests for adminship

You can view my voting rationale here. Link for self-use: [[User:Petros471/RfA criteria|my RfA criteria]]

Considering becoming an admin? Feel free to ask me if I think you'd be suitable. When I think you'd be ready (I might provide some suggestions before that) I'd be happy to nominate you. (RFA reviews subpage)

[edit] About me

As Femto says: "Male, European, and already paranoid about giving away this much information." Well I'm a bit less paranoid than he is, so I can tell you I'm male, British, and have an age of somewhere between 10 and 100. Also if you're really interested I've released rather more than that out to the big world wide web.

Contact!
The best way to contact me is usually by leaving a new message on my talk page. There's nothing like a big orange bar to get my attention, and messages there will probably get the fastest response. You can also email me. I will try to reply as soon as possible (I reserve the right to not reply to personal attacks or other emails of that nature). However expect my response to be slower than messages to my talk page, and preferably leave email to messages that have a good reason to be private (or when you can't edit my talk page because of a block). Please include your Wikipedia username so I know who you are. Thanks.

Important: If you are emailing me about a block, make sure you include your username (if applicable), IP address and the block reason.

Automating tasks on Wikipedia

Uploading hundreds of files or changing thousands of pages can be tedious. We allow limited automation unless it interferes with normal systems operations. You always can grab your favorite scripting language and write a bot, but there's no need to reinvent the wheel: take a look at PyWikipediaBot, a quite complex automation framework for Wikipedia. If you are more into Perl, libwww-perl is a very useful library for automating web tasks. If you have tested your bot and intend to run it over a longer period of time, please get in touch with the developers first (preferably using the wikitech-l mailing list). We then can register your bot, so it can be hidden from the list of recent changes.
