[edit] RC patrol

Hi there. I noticed we were both doing RC patrol at the same time and ran into each other. Do you have any advice about how I can help without getting in the way or doing redundant reverts? Or is there something more useful I should do instead? Thanks! Peace, delldot | talk 23:40, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, those are handy tools! Although I think using them will take a bit of getting used to. Do you ever notice that when you click on an article in the CDVF it takes you to the wrong article (maybe because it's scrolling)? Or that the page blanks and reloads whenever a new entry is made, making the page kind of flashy? Is there some way I can fix that? Oh yeah, now I don't remember which page we met on, and I can't find it in my watchlist. Thanks again, those tools should be really helpful. Peace, delldot | talk 16:25, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey Greg r u there?

[edit] Thank you!

[edit] RuneScape cheats under attack

First, thank you for helping control vandals on the page, it's very appreciated. Jagex is attacking the article again only more coordinatedly this time: saying it's POV, instructional, and 'illegal information' and saying it should be deleted. Please comment on the talk page, I can't defend the article all by myself. Thank you VERY much.Jonathan888 (talk) 15:38, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of dictators

Hey there, I would be grateful for your assistance in countering the systematic vandalism of a admin on the List of Dictators page. An administrator is blanking the page every few hours, without any AfD or anything. Yours,

[edit] RfA thanks

I'd like to thank you for your support of my RfA, and the compliment. As I wrote, I was looking forward to feedback from the community, and I would like to let you know that you should please feel free to leave any further feedback for me you may have for me in the future at my Talk page. Thanks again. Jkelly 08:41, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi, Greg. I just want to thank you very much for supporting my RfA, and especially for your kind words. I hope I'll make a good job of being an admin. If ever you disagree with any action I take, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm supposed to be working on an assignment at the moment, and had been reducing my Wikipedia activity, so delayed thanking people, but I'm finding the new rollback button so easy to use that I'm just keeping Wikipedia open on my browser while working on other things, and I thought I'd like to thank at least a few of those who supported me while I'm here. Cheers. AnnH ^(talk) 22:13, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] History of money

Jeeze, I deleted the redirect there to make way for a move from History of Money and WP was so slow that somebody managed to re-create the page and get deleted again by you before the move went through. --GraemeL ^(talk) 23:08, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sean Black RfA

Thank you very much for your support of my RfA. Thanks, in part, to you, I am now an Administrator, and I pledge to use my newfound powers for good rather than evil. Thanks again!--Sean|Black 07:29, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Protecting User talk pages

Why did you protect User talk:205.188.116.7?? I would have written the message {{sbox3}} had it not been protected. Georgia guy 01:29, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I reverted Trojanpony's edit because an administrator had done the same (I fall into the trap of assuming that admins are always right). In fact, because I recognised that it was a valid edit I encouraged him to propose the change on the talk page. Izehar (talk) 21:16, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Assertion of Vandelism

Hello Greg - Vandalism is not my intent. I actually wanted to add verified material to the J.S. entry, but I haven't been able to figure out how to add it properly. Any suggestions on how to procede? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. (˜˜˜˜)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters

Any chance I might persuade you to reconsider your opposition? Since I was nominated, I'd like it to pass. You raise several issues, that others have mentioned. One is vandalism: indeed, I committed exactly one act of vandalism, and reverted it myself after 3 minutes, 9 months ago, and prior to 95%+ of my WP editing. The other is the 8 month old RfC. That RfC remains as insubstantial now as it was when written: no complaint was stated, and no effort at "resolution" had ever been made. Unfortunately, I think editors unfamiliar with a particular nominee can easily assume "where there's smoke there's fire"; and a few early oppose votes with old grudges can kill a good nomination.

The truth is that I will probably continue to strive to bring a number of controversial topics toward NPOV (whether or not promoted to adminship), and the chance of encountering another spurious RfC against me at some point is almost guaranteed. I've found, over time, that most of those threatening to write one get themselves blocked from WP (either long-term or indefinitely, prior to writing it: I can list about ten examples, literally, of editors who threatened an RfC against me, and have been blocked... not by me, obviously, and for reasons little related to anything I ever did). I really encourage you to look at my answer to one of the questions about how NPOV editors in conflict-prone topics seem to be de facto prevented from adminship, even though such are very much needed.

On the last thing, however, I certainly cannot in good faith make any recusal from editing David Mertz. I may well, in practice, not do so, since it doesn't look like there's going to be anything needing fixing, and it's watchlisted against vandalism by enough editors now. But the principle is just simply wrong, and winning adminship is not worth violating my principles, and more importantly, encyclopedic principles (though it seems pretty clear I could win some votes by telling an untrue sob story about how wrong I was to edit the page on me while conforming with WP:NPOV and WP:NOR). That's not going to change with a couple months, or a year, or a decade: an unreflective ban on editors working on topics they are knowledgeable is just plain wrong.

[edit] Capital building image

The image you recently added appears to be copyrighted by Theresa T. Khayyam. Did she grant permission for it to be used? If so, please add such a notice to the image page. Just because an image appears on a government website does not mean it was "produced by the Federal goverment" and is public domain. Kaldari 03:09, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

In order for a work to automatically be in the public domain it must have been produced as part of the job of a federal employee, for example a Forestry worker taking photographs to document a forest fire. There is no evidence this photo was produced as part of Theresa's job, and even if there was, she does not appear to be a federal employee. Works of state governments are usually not in the public domain (California being the only exception I know of). It's unfortunate really that there is so little material available in the public domain. Maybe one day we won't have such restrictive copyright laws. Well I can dream at least :) Kaldari 04:06, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

I was looking at the NPOV Disputes page seeing if I could clear up any backlog. There is a NPOV tag on the user talk page of User_talk:B1link82.

[edit] 3RR violation Kelly Martin RfC

Since you blocked Tznkai for violating the 3RR rule in Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Kelly Martin, I would like to point out that Dschor has also effectively done the same thing. After reverting three times on 26 January 2006 between 1906 and 2109 EST, Dschor moved the page to Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Kelly Martin/Protected, and then "recovered" the disputed information on 27 January 2006 at 0735 EST. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 12:52, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Succesful RfA!

[edit] Greg!

I saw that you protected the 1998-99 NBA season article. Are you aware of the history of the vandal, given here.

Fred Bauder looked into this guy. But he has not been encouraging; he basically said that since the user is using a range of IPs from the Chicago Public Library there is nothing that can be done. Appeals to WP:VIP and WP:ANI (repeated) have brought nothing. I have written to the library but I doubt that they will be able to help.

Is it true that nothing can be done? I would like a nice long one or two-week block on the entire IP range. I'm looking for someone willing to do that.

I don't think it will help. The person is genuinely demented and obsessive. He has repeatedly sworn to never, ever give up, and I believe him. However, he may lack the resources to move easily to locations other than the library. I think a one or two-week block will not discourage him, but it might.

Will you do this.

[cc: Curps who recently protected the George Reeves article from the same person.]

[edit] Duncharris

RE your comments on 3RR violation on Jonathan Sarfati.

Reply:

As 58 was attempting to point out, I was banned on the third (not fourth) revert, where Duncharris was involved in the edits. He was reverting by placing disputed/unsourced material back into the article (various "some critics"), he didn't document talk at first, still hasn't shown that the many instances of "some critics" in that section is cited--just claimed they were, he marked all these major reverts as minor, then it looks like he got a friend to follow in his 'reverts' (who is arguing in commentary rather than in Talk). The main point, however, is that someone involved in editing [1] shouldn't be blocking another (opposing) user, and certainly shouldn't be allowed to do it on the third revert. agapetos_angel 01:39, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply Greg. I would request that you also review Jonathan Sarfati talk, where they have now tagteamed and Guettarda is making accusations in comments, rather than coming to talk and explaining her position. The first was a revert claiming that "some critics" was sourced (and I showed in Talk where they are not, thereby invalidating that entire section). The latest accusation is where I put in a single space after the picture in the article so the system would allow a note for Guettarda to come to talk and explain her opinion. Instead, she accused me of a whitewash and reverted again. These bullying techniques and actions of hers and Duncharris' are not appropriate. Could you please take a moment to comment? agapetos_angel 23:52, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks anyway Greg agapetos_angel 07:33, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3rr

Why should I not have blocked the IP for block evasion? Guettarda 03:12, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Kmac1036

I can't tell you how strongly I disagree with your comments about there being nothing in the blocking policy about blocking for no article edits. We're here to write an encyclopedia and this fellow isn't doing that; he is here expressly and solely to "challenge the establishment". This is not a chat forum. I'll not block again unless I see further cause, but the corollary of this is that I will reinstate the block if he continues as he has done. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 06:20, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jesus

The page that you locked last week is still locked. How do we go about getting it unlocked? The edit war that was taking place was quite minor and all parties have been posting over the last few days. Agreement in principle has been made as to how to proceed but there are key "heavyweights" in the Christianity areas who are notable by their absence. The only way we will find out if the agreed compromise will stand is by putting it in the main article at which point those who disagree will make their presence known. I fear that while the article is locked we are getting a false view of the status quo as these editors are busy elsewhere and while the article looks fine and dandy to them the're not bothering to post. SOPHIA 10:15, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks - I think everyone wants to move forward now so will behave.SOPHIA 23:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

It's not looking good... --Oscillate 19:48, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

There has been more fun and games on this page resulting in a user being blocked again. One other user has been winding the situation up in my opinion and I protested on his talk page. He obviously didn't like what I'd written so he deleted it from his talk page. Being fairly new to this I thought you couldn't do this - am I wrong? (Sorry to bug you with this but I know you aren't connected and being an admin I assume you know the rules! SOPHIA 18:39, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

The banned user User:robsteadman was asking for it as he had reverted too many times (in his view reverting vandalism but that is of course his POV). The winding up user was User:Gator1 the offending comments were on Rob's user page [2].I added this to Gator1's page [3] which he removed so I put it back and answered his requests on my talk page to justify calling him a troll [4]. I could have added his less than neutral comments on the Jesus page [5] which he did have the good sense to line through soon afterwards. On my talk page User talk:SOPHIA are his comments to me - he stands by and regrets nothing that he wrote. I'm not too keen on his slightly threatening attitude but can let that pass as I'm not the touchy type.

This has all the hall marks of a petty "he said - she said" pointless debate so I'm not asking for anything to be done - it just seems unfair that Rob as a ban and Gator1 thinks he's a been a good wikipedian - I suppose that's life. I just wanted to check the rules and get an external view in case it does get nasty again - Rob's ban is over now. Thanks for looking at this. SOPHIA 19:46, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Care to explain why you treated an admin like a vandal? Using Fair use images on the Main Page is avoided since they are not being used in their article. We use free pictures whenever possible (and it is almost always possible to find a free image on a topic). Disagreeing with it doesn't really justify the use of rollback. -Splash^talk 00:21, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I didn't realize the previous picture was FU, and, since I thought it was more descriptive, I was confused as why it was replaced. Also, there was no edit summary to explain this. As for using rollback, I guess I shouldn't have, howerver, I don't think rollback should be limited to vandalism only reverts. -Greg Asche (talk) 00:23, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, Anonym has a habit of never using edit summaries. I'm going to leave a message. Easy on old rollback, eh, since your 'edit summary' wasn't a great deal more useful than Anonym's blank one. -Splash^talk 00:30, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Protection

Hello, GregAsche! Could I ask you to be a bit more careful when unprotecting images tagged with {{mprotected}}? You unprotected two images which I had already protected and tagged earlier today (at approximately 00:30 UTC), both of which will appear on the main page tomorrow (in less than an hour now.) I find that looking at the "what links here" is useful; it tells you which template/pages link to there, and the pages for the FA and selected anniversaries have the date in the page name. Thanks a lot! Flcelloguy (A note?) 23:19, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

My apologies, I didn't realize images were protected so far in advance, and I assumed they were images that had already appeared on the main page. Sorry about that. -Greg Asche (talk) 23:23, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

No problem, although I generally only protect things one day in advance. I've seen longer, though. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 23:26, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, I am. I do disagree with your views of when and why the article should be semi'd, but that is not the reason I am opposing, it is the way I have seen you conduct yourself in those discussions. -Greg Asche (talk) 00:38, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Next time you unprotect, please remove the sprotect tags as well from the article. You may also want to check Wikipedia:Protected_page#Semi-protection so as to understand the rationale and envisaged period of protection there.

I've noticed the talk page for my ip address, 202.182.65.201, contains a lot of warnings against vandalism. Just wanted to inform you that this IP address is indeed that of a primary school, and so blocking edits from this address would be a good idea if you haven't already done so.

I'd also like to apologise on behalf of the students responsible for the vandalism. They're probably not sorry, but it's the thought that counts, right?

[edit] Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I saw your comments on this page's talk page. During the same time, I browsed through the extra article at Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Summary and managed to squeak a concept or two out of this to merge into the main page, but it was almost entirely info that we already had. I wasn't sure about the procedure for that extra page; it doesn't seem to meet WP:CSD, but can it be speedied anyway under WP:IAR or WP:UCS? Or should we just WP:PROD it? Well, thanks for all your help, and let me know what will be done with this page so I can continue to learn policy in borderline cases like this. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 05:46, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

As the pages is copied verbatim from the Harry Potter wiki, I think it should be deleted. I was considering using WP:IAR to speedy it, but i neglected to. I think, for now, WP:PROD would be the best way to go. However, if you think another way would be better, be bold and go ahead with it. -Greg Asche (talk) 15:12, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Clapton low res.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Clapton low res.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Shyam ^(T/C) 16:55, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Randy Moss.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Randy Moss.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. cholmes75 (chit chat) 03:16, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:To Kill A Mockingbird cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:To Kill A Mockingbird cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:20, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Minnesota Admins

Hi Greg, I'd like to get in touch with you for a project I'm working on about administrator's expereinces with Wikipedia. I'm based out of Minnesota and have been trying to talk to people who live around here. What's the best way to send you some questions? --Sandboxes unite talk 22:03, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
