[edit] AWB

Thanks for pearing down the list. I've been meaning to get around to approvals for some time, but I never seem to be on a computer that won't die from loading all the contribs. Anyway, you're approved. alphachimp 18:16, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Great, thanks! ST47Talk 19:23, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] STBot and templates

Howdy! I have a question an edit STbot made. In this, it added an 'uncategorized' template, even though the article has a stub template that places it into a category. I'm guessing that it didn't parse the stub template to see if there was a category involved, would you consider that as an enhancement suggestion? - CHAIRBOY (☎) 15:34, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think AWB counts stub categories as categories, since the page still is not in the proper categories, and is just listed for maintenance. ST47Talk 17:34, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bug in Tool2

Hi. I noticed your comment here. I used to get the same problem till I realised I hadn't pasted the code in my js file. Do that and it should solve your problem. Cheers! - Aksi_great (talk) 16:08, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] STBot

I don't understand this edit which says "adding template" and in fact removes a template, which I had just added. Tyrenius 02:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

It looks like STBot thought that the article was not a stub, probably because of the length, sorry about that. ST47Talk 12:08, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Excellent RFA question!

"You've been here for months, made thousands of edits, and devoted hundreds of hours to Wikipedia without pay or and tangible reward. Above you said why you wanted to be an admin, but why do you want to be a Wikipedian? What was your motivation for joining, and for staying?" This question has helped me decide whether I want to oppose or support a Wikipedian. I wonder if we should add it to the standard questions? - Ta bu shi da yu 04:35, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I like that one. I have thought that we need to change the standard questions for a while anyway, they're getting boring and everyone knows what voters want to see, perhaps I'll bring it up on the RfA talk page once I read a few more responses, unless you will. ST47Talk 12:10, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] STBotD reverted

STBotD had to be reverted thus. --teb728 08:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me, I'll have to see if I can prevent that. ST47Talk 12:12, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Farewell ST47

ST, I have decided that I can't continue on wikipedia. I am going to leave for good. I hope this doesn't make a big impact, but I have to do it. I hope you can help make a difference here, and good luck. Farewell -- RyGuy(Retired)

[edit] pisschrist vandal

Although you answerd my question about the squidward vandal you dident answer if thare was a pisschrist vandal and how severe the squidward vandal was?--Crocadog 00:47, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

The deleted page on the squidward vandal is well, deleted, you're better off asking someone who was around last year about that. I do not ever member hearing about pisschrist, but based on the thing on wikitruth, I would say there was. ST47Talk 00:51, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

but who was around last year for that that?--Crocadog 00:59, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Why don't you try WP:IRC? ST47Talk 01:06, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Its time :)

Hey yeah; its me Arjun. I was wondering if you would like to give RFA another shot; from my view you are an experienced spam/vandal fighter (like me :D) and you have improved greatly since you last RFA's. You are civil and that was a problem in the past. I am not going to create another subpage since I would like you to accept first. Cheers :) ~ Arjun 18:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Arjun! I was going to email you sometime this week regarding your offer, and I'd now be glad to accept your nomination! Thank you for your offer and support! ST47Talk 18:52, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

No prob; I am going to create it now. ~ Arjun 21:17, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Done; here it is. Go get um' buddy :), once you fill in the questions feel free to just transclude it yourself. ~ Arjun 22:24, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

OK, I will. I am also going to write a short statement, so give me 30 minutes or so. ST47Talk 22:27, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Would you mind if I co-nominated? Yuser31415 22:59, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Go ahead, I won't accept right away, let me get my answers in first though. (15 seconds) ST47Talk 23:00, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I've added my nom. Do you have any further suggestions? Yuser31415 23:17, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, I'll go transclude it. ST47Talk 23:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Good luck ... Yuser31415 23:19, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! ST47Talk 23:20, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Good luck with this, you well and truly need the tools. Viridae^Talk 12:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] on a recent warning you gave

It was a puppet. Now blocked.[1] There's a Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Nkras if you feel like familiarizing yourself with this user's editing style. — coelacan talk — 23:05, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, I'll review those links now. ST47Talk 23:06, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is that link on your RfA right?

for the Interiot - it takes you to the program, not the results? the edit at the end maybe? Johnbod 23:57, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

There was an error in the link - but in order to work it you need the tool installed in your monobook, easier to use the stats on the RfA talk page. ST47Talk 23:58, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spamda

On your RFA you mentioned Spamda. How do I get it and what does it do?--Natl1 (Talk Page) (Contribs) 23:59, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

As m:Spamda says, Spamda is a multi-wiki anti-spam program to assist users in identifying and reverting spam. It takes the feed from the LinkWatcher bot in all the anti-spam channels (such as #wikipedia-en-spam, and #wikipedia-swm-spam) through another bot that distributes all the new links added to Wikipedia evenly among users. This means that if 5 Spamda users are watching the english spam feed, user #1 will only get 1 in 5 messages. User #2 will get a different message, still 1 in 5, etc...

When a diff of a new link addition is received from the bot, it is displayed to the user and the user will have the option to revert, revert and warn with warnings like "spam1", or just leave it. If it detects previous warnings on the user talk, you will also get the option to do a "spam+1" revert&warn, which will warn the user one warning higher than their current warning.

Note: At the time of this writing (19 February 2007) there is no public release of Spamda, and all URLs mentioned on this page will likely not work. Extremely limited testing is underway and development work is continuing. For more information, please visit #Spamda on freenode. ST47Talk 00:01, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] STBotT edits on Mitchell's Rainforest Snail

Hi, STBoT has tagged and edited the article I wrote on Mitchell's Rainforest Snail. I tried to fix it and made edits as suggested (i.e. intro formatting etc.), but I'm only new here and may well have missed a few things! Would you mind checking for me to see if it is OK now? Cheers --Fnpw 02:27, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

No problem, I've linked it to a few more articles, but it looks like you did a good job yourself. You can use Template:Taxobox to give more information, just look at Wikipedia:Taxobox usage for lots if information. As an animal, you pretty much want to comy and paste this and fill in as many spaces as you can.

{{Taxobox | color = pink

| name = | image = | image_caption = | regnum = [[Animal]]ia | phylum = | classis = | ordo = | familia = | genus = | species = | binomial = | binomial_authority = }}

If there's anything you can't fill in, don't worry about it. Also, we have a few WikiProjects that choose a topic and clean up articles relating to it. You can let them know that your article exists by adding {{WikiProject Gastropods}} to the article's talk page, Talk:Mitchell's rainforest snail. Good luck! ST47Talk 11:41, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Automated message to bot owners

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:

Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.

Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 05:03, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] strange interwikilink

see [2]. Does your log show this origin of that mis-information? Agathoclea 08:16, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not vandalise your own RfA

Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/ST47 4; this is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. The diff is here. Sandstein 07:26, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your RFA

I support you in your RFA. Don't do anything stupid though. Stay calm. I've seen a lot of RFAs blow not by people not being eligible, but by them acting hotheadedly. RedSkunk^talk 17:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/ST47 4

Good morning (GMT time); please remain civil in line with the official Wikipedia policy, Wikipedia:Civility, at your RfA. My advice is to consult this policy before you post any further edits to your RfA - the high quantity of Strong Opposes to your receiving the tools is - in my humble opinion - because of your incivility towards oppose voters, including one post bordering on a Personal Attack:

"...I don't trust Lantoka. He has a weird name, his sig is in the font "CAC Krazy Legs Bold", and he's editing at 11 PM. I don't see why he should be allowed to help anyone to do anything..."

In addition, another reason why at the moment there appers to be no chance of your RfA being passed is because you are demonstrating you do not understand a key Wikipedia Policy - how can you be expected to understand the more complicated and/or less high-profile ones, such as WP:SOCK, WP:3RR or WP:OFFICE (just random shortcuts to policies I had in the back of my mind). You are eliminating any respect the community may previously have had for you, and I am afraid you may get yourself into hot soup if you continue.

Kindly refrain from incivility at all times.

Kind regards,
Anthonycfc ^{[T • C]} 00:09, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

My request for adminship has closed successfully (79/0/1), so it appears that I am now an administrator. Thanks very much for your vote of confidence. If there's anything I can ever do to help, please don't hesitate to let me know. IrishGuy ^talk 01:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting my RfA. It was (47/0/0) upon closure and now phase I is complete. I think the tools will aid both me and the encyclopedia.

[edit] Koine Greek: repeated addition of unrelated interwiki link

The robot keeps adding wa:Rifondaedje d' ene langue to Koine Greek although the two articles are unrelated (happend four times). The English interwiki for wa:Rifondaedje d' ene langue is Standard_language. Fixed for now but maybe will happen again  Andreas  ^(T) 15:44, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Adminship

It is my regretful task to inform you that your recent request for adminship failed to achieve consensus to promote, and has been closed. Please do not be discouraged, continue to make outstanding contributions to Wikipedia, and consider requesting adminship again in the future. You may find Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship helpful in deciding when to consider running again. If I can be of any help to you, please do not hesitate to ask. Essjay (Talk) 00:37, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Try again in a month or two and maybe you'll pass next time. BuickCenturyDriver (Honk, odometer) 00:45, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
