[edit] WP:RFA

Sorry, I messed up in trying to move your RFA to self-nominations. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:52, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

I sorted it. Smoddy (Rabbit and pork) 19:57, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Deleting it proves it.

I reverted your vandalism of Fallout (computer game), restoring the information you deleted. I can understand why you'd want to remove it, but one cannot talk of Fallout without mentioning the most salient aspect of the Fallout fan community. --Scumbag|Talk Scumbag 18:21, May 10, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations!

Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 23:30, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations! Welcome. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:56, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Italian communes

Hello Pawel, I made the article off-line with a normal database: one record for each article. Then we (I and 8-9 others contributors) added the articles with a special tecnique called copy and paste :-) So, I think I can't help you much. Sorry. Ciao 151.30.161.130 13:51, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pl wiki

Ausirze, ja się w to nie mieszam. Odszedłem z polskiej wiki i nie chce mi się w to polskie bagienko zagłębiać. Z mojej pobieżnej analizy wynika że zaiste Kwietnia zabanowano za jego poglądy i bez wystarczających dowodów przeciwko niemu. A potem, gdy zaczął bojkotować ban (najwyraźniej niesłuszny), zaczęto go blokować za to że się pojawiał. Słowem: zesłany do więzienia bez wyroku i bezprawnie, a potem sądzony jeszcze za ucieczkę z więzienia, w którym w ogóle być nie powinien.

Ale to oczywiście analiza powierzchowna i z oddali. Że źle się na polskiej wiki dzieje wiadomo nie od dzisiaj. Nie trzeba mnie porównywać z nikim, w grupie ludzi, których z wiki wypchnięto jest wystarczająco dużo sensownych wikipedystów, by znaleźć dość egzemplów. Halibutt 05:19, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Mind Benders

Hello! I've noticed your interest in creating logos, barnstars, or your past artistic ability! Thus, I just wanted to let you know that the pre-round, an artistic competition, is now open at Wikipedia:Mind Benders (Shortcut: WP:MIND)! The competition is open to everyone and is seeking a logo/trophy, similar to Barnstars, to be placed on every winner's page. We urge you to help us out and submit an entry! Afterwards, the normal rounds, each consisting of ten or more fun, logical, brain-stimulating questions will open. Why don't you give it a try when it opens! Look forward to seeing your contribution. Thanks, Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 21:55, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Earth 2160

Yo! I noticed you checked out the Earth 2160 page. I created it awhile back, and am quite a fan of the series. I was wondering if you own it? And if so, is it any good? I completed the UCS and Lunar campaigns on Earth 2150 but the ED's was way too difficult...The new plot sounds pretty cool, pity the UCS got fully mechanized, makes them hard to like now heheh. Its a pity games like the Earth series aren't more popular, 2150's graphics were by far the finest for RTS's in 2000, still looks pretty good now too...yet people still have a preferance for junk like C&C Generals!

[edit] KSR photo / worldcon '05

Argh, KSR is one of my fave authors! I missed worldcon but live only 100 miles away (thereabouts) in Newcastle, I was upset at missing it /before/ I learn KSR was there :) -- Jon Dowland 14:54, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Greetings from India

Dear Ausir, Greetings from Kerala, India. Thank you for your post in Marayoor, I didn't notice it for long, as I was busy with writing a short review on Dungeon Siege 2, and here you are, another RPG guy... I am glad you are interested in Fallout too...too bad, it is not available in India yet, I heard a lot of news of abandoning the project though...and I am glad finally it made... BTW about your post, I will upload the pictures in wikipedia commons as you suggest, in time (that's procrastination!) Wish you all the best, --Cyril Thomas 18:47, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Polish Geography

Some time ago at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geography of Poland you proposed a series of bot-generated articles. While such articles on towns are not the best idea IMO, how about such articles on powiats and communes?

BTW, there's my RfA currently going on. I'd be happy if you could cast your vote there. Halibutt 14:10, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Moje RfA

I would like to express my thanks to all the people who took part in my (failed) RfA voting. I was both surprised and delighted about the amount of support votes and all the kind words! I was also surprised by the amount of people who stated clearly that they do care, be it by voting in for or against my candidacy. That's what Wiki community is about and I'm really pleased to see that it works.
As my RfA voting failed with 71% support, I don't plan to reapply for adminship any more. However, I hope I might still be of some help to the community. Cheers! Halibutt 05:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I have visited the Vault and can see that you have multiple languages installed and they appear to be working correctly.

[edit] Invitation to the Forgotten Realms project

Hi,

We are working on a Forgotten Realms Project to map Toril (mostly Faerûn, at the present). Since you contributed quite a lot on a Forgotten Realms-specific entry, I'd like to invite you to join the project, so we could improve the “Mapping the Realms” project.

The goal is to create a sort of World Factbook for the Realms. This means:

• A consistent content
• Use of templates
• Entries should be limited to “sovereign places”: states and free cities, as well a moderately-inhabited place such as the Western Highlands.

On top of this, we also plan to cover Lost Empires, such as Pelvuria or Imaskar and, of course, Netheril

• The project is located here
• The Geographical index of Toril is a good start to get a visual of had been done, as well as the Halruaa entry.

Main contributors are presently

• David Latapie
• Poulsen

If you know some other person who would be interested, feel free to forward the invitation!

Feel free to take a look. We hope to see you soon mapping the Realms with us! Reply to David Latapie 13:00, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Semi-protection

I've left this message on your Meta page as well, but I wanted to make sure you got this. At Wikipedia:Semi-protection policy, a couple users and myself are attempting to gather consensus about a possible change in editing. So as not to keep the community out of the loop, we've been posting to user talk pages, which seems to have worked. If you can add your thoughts to the talk page, it would be greatly appreciated. We've gone over a few issues, ranging from perception of anti-wiki to time limits, and recycling pagemove code, so you might want to check out #Rehashing to get up to speed. Thanks in advance, Mysekurity^{(have you seen this?)} 04:18, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Report an error link on sidebar

I'm sorry for adding the link without consulting anyone, but I think a link to a quick form (an an "add new section link" is just that) for reporting errors is something we could use - that's what the readers are more likely to edit, as being given a form to quickly fill in and click "save" in the sidebar is more intuitive to them than writing an e-mail or writing it at a talk page (where often no one will see it). If you think it's a bad idea, remove it, but it's working quite fine at Polish Wikipedia - so far people don't report bugs but actual factual errors in articles which we managed to fix thanks to that. Ausir 02:54, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Firstly, Ausir, my apologies for removing it. I've removed the "Report an error" link because I think it is bound to lead to lots of erroneous bug reports generated from users who don't understand how Wikipedia works. Also, it just presented the user with a blank edit screen to add a section to Wikipedia:Report an error without explaining what sort of thing the user should write there or when they should make a bug report. Thus, I think it is not a good idea to have it there; I think something better would be a good idea, however, perhaps a link to a page which explains what to do if you think you've found a bug. It probably works OK on the Polish Wikipedia due to a lower traffic volume, but I'm a bit apprehensive about having it on en. Best regards, --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 03:01, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re:List of Poles - UTF

Sure. How? I have been slowly doing this manually, and so far I have done the first two or so pages. If you can run the script and generate updated versions of the latter pages or such, it would be great.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 03:07, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flamarande

Hi, I made a few userboxes about ASoIaF, you can see them at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Books and use them at your leisure. I am not finished yet, but eventually I am going to make boxes for all the Houses and perhaps some more ( Nightswatch, etc ). If you understand enough about userboxer you can even improve them. If not, then just "pass the word" about it (please).

[edit] Thu

I was working on airports and ended up at Thu as a code for Thule Air Base. I found that before it was vandalised that it was a redirect to Sauron. It's now a disambiguation page for both the airport and Sauron. The thing is I was not sure why it would redirect to Sauron so you may want to go and put a better discription in. Thanks.

[edit] Fallout

Hey Ausir. I see that you seem to like Fallout. And you made a bunch of contributions to Fallout (computer game series). Well, that article is getting kind of dilapidated lately, and it could use some help. So, I made some changes. I would appreciate any help, comments, criticisms, and/or opinions you could provide. Thanks. Miguel Cervantes 20:00, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

No, I haven't played BoS. I just spent a whole bunch of time looking at FAQs, Walkthroughs, previews, forums, and the like looking for enough information to give it a good wikipedia article. I have played Tactics, however. Does that help any? Miguel Cervantes 19:32, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fallout Articles

Yeah, take 'em. I don't care. I have nothing to gain by withholding them. If you want to give me credit somewhere, go right ahead, but I don't really care. I'm in Wikipedia to increase humanity's knowledge, not to make a name for myself. Miguel Cervantes 00:57, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Hej! In this article you added that Boleslaw's daughter Rycheza of Poland was married to Volodar, can you tell where you took this information from? If it's from the Polish article, then can you ask pl:Wikipedysta:Arthmael who wrote it there (I don't speak polski). I'm asking because I'm going to write an article about her in Russian Wiki but all existing wiki-articles give different names and dates, and only one actually (the Swedish one sv:Volodar av Minsk) cites its source. ru:User:Neko 213.100.45.227 21:50, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request your attention to the GoldToeMarionette case

GoldToeMarionette (talk • contribs) had a WP:RFCU inappropriately completed on their account by Jayjg (talk • contribs) and Hall Monitor (talk • contribs) blocked the account after it was identified as a multiple account despite their being no violation of Wikipedia policy by GoldToeMarionette. These users did not respond to requests to undo the action.

Other steps in dispute resolution have been tried

Comments on RFCU itself [1]

Other Admins contacted [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Hall Monitor was emailed with no reply

GoldToeMarionette posted on the account's User and Talk Pages seeking assistance when the talk page was protected without the issue being discussed. User:GoldToeMarionette User_talk:GoldToeMarionette

GoldToeMarionette notified article contributors that illustrative examples were subject to an AfD. The account strictly followed the WP:SPAM#Internal_spamming guideline. The AfD was without controversy. GoldToeMarionette did not participate in the vote. HereToCleanup removed the posts following the AfD in accord with the widely accepted Wikipedia Guideline Wikipedia:Spam#Internal_spamming that states "Clean up your mess. For example, after engaging in cross-posting to promote some election, be sure to remove those cross-posts after the election is complete." [7]

• GoldToeMarionette Contributions
• Breakdown of GoldToeMarionette's Posts
• Example post to 66 article contributors
• Example post removal from 66 article contributors
• HereToCleanup's Contributions
• No AfD participation

Since GoldToeMarionette was strictly following Wikipedia Policy, there should not have been a Check User completed by Jayjg. Hall Monitor only blocked the account because it was labeled as a sockpuppet by Jayjg's completed Check User. Absent policy violation it should not have been processed in RFCU or been blocked. I am asking for your help to confirm that policy was not violated, administrative action should not have been taken, and request that the administrative action be reversed by unblocking GoldToeMarionette and unprotecting the talk page. Thank you for your time with this request. RealTime 02:07, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alai

Hi, I noticed that you created a fork of Alai (Enderverse) from List of Ender's jeesh. I ask that you reconsider. Per WP:FICT, all minor characters should be merged in a parent "list of" article. Alai, for all intents and purposes, is extremely minor. He's always in the background, without too much of a major influence overall through the quartets. Do you agree? Or do you think he is major enough to deserve his own article. Hbdragon88 17:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I've been a bit lazy there. I was planning to merge those two IF characters in (possibly to List of minor characters in the Ender's Game series) and most of the Wiggin family characters into, say, something like Wiggin family. FYI, see Han Tzu (Ender's Game) and Alai (Ender's Game) for where they used to be before I merged them. But if I merge all of those in, do you think that Alai/Han Tzu should be merged too? Hbdragon88 17:34, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, the idea was to have Wiggin family, merge Theresa/John Paul fully, whiel leaving links to Peter/Valentine/Ender. I'd still be willing to merge Graff and Rackham - Rackham plays an absurdly minor role (always mentioned by name, mentors ender one one book), while Graff is kind of the catalyst. Even if it can be expanded, I still think that it's relatively minor enough to stick in a "list of". Hbdragon88 19:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

~Well, Rackham again plays a major role in Shadow of the Giant and in the prequel short story Mazer in Prison. Ausir 20:12, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay. Still disagree, but for now, I'm more interested in preserving the edit history. I've just recreated Alai (Ender's Game) and Han Tzu (Ender's Game). Could you please tag Alai (Enderverse) and Han Tzu for deletion via {{db-author}}? Then, with those pages gone, we can move Han Tzu (Ender's Game) to Han Tzu. Hbdragon88 02:32, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
