[edit] JavaScript

Greg, if you are using the monobook skin, you can copy this:

function RcHideUsers()
{
        var li = document.getElementById( 'n-recentchanges' );
        if ( ! li ) return; // sanity check
        li.appendChild( document.createTextNode( ' ' ) );
        var a = document.createElement( 'a' );
        a.href = '/w/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&hideliu=1&limit=500';
        a.appendChild( document.createTextNode( 'Hide' ) );
        li.appendChild( a );
}
if ( window.addEventListener ) window.addEventListener( 'load', RcHideUsers, false );
else if ( window.attachEvent ) window.attachEvent( 'onload', RcHideUsers );

into this link: User:GregAsche/monobook.js. It adds a "Hide" link next to the "Recent Changes" link. Func( t, c, e,  ) 02:38, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Greg, as I've explained to an admin previously, I have had difficulty adding tags. The Nycbuginvasion is GFDL-license by the owner, and the tag should be complete by now. Other permissions are in process for Keston -- the site owner is in Spain running a marathon, but has replied favorably once already -- and his other images are magazines and album covers. Simons is in review with two depts. at WSJ, and the microchip tags have been granted permission from the chip manufacturer, who has already released these photos for use as part of their press kit. Don't have time more details, but the process of tagging has simply been confusing for me, as I have only been active at WP for three weeks. All halloween photos are GFDL licensed by parade director Jeanne Fleming, except for the two by Williams who granted license yesterday. Regards, please be patient. Klenk paul klenk 02:43, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Greg, I will need additional help here. I am asking Imdaking to help as well. What info is missing, and can one of you please assist me in the spirit of community cooperation. I am trying to do my best and would like assistance. Regards. paul klenk 02:50, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
I appreciate the link, but I've already tried to read that page with no luck. It is useless to a newcomer, sad to say. Left various requests for help at pages and admins, but with little effect. What is missing, where, exactly? What you see is what I think I have. I can't tell you what's missing, because I don't know what's missing -- Imdaking has an idea, I think, and I am waiting for a reply.

[edit] To greg and imdaking

We are talking past each other. At the moment, what is missing where? What I have is what you see. paul klenk 03:05, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Greg, are you there? paul klenk 03:28, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

I'll have questions for you tomorrow. paul klenk 03:43, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] To greg and imdaking

Greg, indented below are comments I left at Imda's page. Would you kindly see, if you are in a position to do so, that no image removal takes place on at New York's Village Halloween Parade unless specific notice is given me of what required information is necessary? And, help is provided to me to understand these requirements? It does not help to say delete and "no source," as so much info has been provided. I believe a lot of time has been wasted chatting back and forth and furiously removing and reverting, when all that was needed was assistance and cooperation, rather than gratuitous policing without sufficient explanation and replies. I have gone to great lengths to ask for help with images, which no one seems in a position to offer, and to get carte blanche GFDL licensing from the parade corporation (the image owner) and its director, Jeanne Fleming. She has granted parade access (press passes) to various photographers in exchange for being given rights to the photos. paul klenk 11:22, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Never mind -- I'd rather do the changes myself. I'm going back to check all original imags, and if they have 1] name of owner, 2] address of Web site, 3] a description and 4] a tag, I am placing it back. No additional requirements have been requested, and by my record, I've made several attempts to ask what they might be. paul klenk 03:54, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
Shuffle.jpg, Twopaperfaces.jpg, Nycbuginvasion.jpg, and Fixingdino.jpg all have the four items above. Before I revert, is anything missing? If so please describe exactly what -- again, "source" doesn't tell me much since I added their authors and pages. paul klenk 03:59, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, the only photo on the Halloween page that is tagged as being listed on images for deletion is Fixingdino. Per the tag, I have listed on its talk page all the information about the image, arguing that it not be deleted. I am now reverting the page again to its previous state, as every photo on it has 1] name of owner, 2] address of Web site, 3] a description and 4] a GFDL license tag, and, when known, 5] the photographer. These photos are copyright of the parade, and its director, Jeanne Fleming, has granted carte blanche GFDL licensing for the photos.

In the interest of efficiency, cooperation, and the spirit of Wikipedia, please refrain from removing the images from the page until addressing a comment to me specifying exactly what necessary or required information is missing. paul klenk 11:22, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Black Kettle and IP 165.83.196.82

Greg, 165.83.196.82 added all the material that they took out. If you look at the history of the Black Kettle article, you will see that they have been working on it since yesterday. This IP belongs to the National Park Service. I had not had a chance, and was waiting until they were done adding new information, before I went comprehensively through article and did a copy edit, which I would bet it needs. I have also been trying to help this user on their talk page, User_talk:165.83.196.82, to be a better editor. Following the rules may have scared them off. I was not to excited when they removed all of their additions. I figured I would just look at an old version and pick out any good points that I thought needed too, or could be, added. Check it out and tell me what you think? WikiDon 21:48, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Well, the article was only about 10 sentences long before yesterday. Unfortunately, there is not a lot known about Black Kettle, and a good deal of what has been written is from a POV, bias, white-man's take. Just like I warned IP 165.83.196.82, don't let the article get off track into the battles, the 7th Cav, the Southern Cheyenne tribe, etc., which is easy to do. I wish we could jump in the time machine at interview the man. WikiDon 22:20, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

PS I don't know what the heck happened there. !~!

[edit] Vandalism on New Zealand general election, 2005 Page

At 01:38, 18 September 2005 (UTC), you said ‘’this message is regarding the article New Zealand general election, 2005. Please stop removing content from Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism.’’ I was not doing vandalism, I was just adding full break down of results. Then the Wikipedia software told me that the article was to big, so I moved the more detailed results to its own page (New Zealand General Election, 2005, Full Results), and put back the table that was their. 210.54.114.253 01:51, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] scott stapp article

This is in regards to the rollback of my edit of the Scott Stapp article. I would appreciate not being treated like a complete noob, as I have been using Wikipedia for quite some time, and I have almost 200 edits to my name. I knew what I was doing when I reverted the article. There is a large amount of superfluous biographical material on Scott Stapp in the article. It is obviously removed directly from a book or magazine, probably in violation of copyright. The article's quality suffers because of this. I was attempting to correct the problem by reverting to a previous version without the biographical text.--Alhutch 04:43, 18 September 2005 (UTC)


no problem, apology accepted.

[edit] Lake Tahoe

I saw that when some jerk deleted the whole article on Tahoe which I wrote 90% of, you were able to put the page back the way it was. Well some other jerk just deleted about 2/3s more of the page, as i was writing it. I already commented on his talk page, but I was wondering if somehow you could restore it like you did before.

Don't forget to substitute templates with section headers (such as {{Welcome2}} and {{Idw}}) when you use them on talk pages: it reduces server load, and prevents accidental blanking of the template. --Phroziac (talk) 02:28, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Please do not feed the trolls

Hi Greg-
I noticed you posted a message on an anonymous vandal's talk page about vandalism of the Second Amendment page. I have found that that only encourages them to vandalize more, since they are getting attention. (Like a little child, which he/she may very well be). I usually just revert and move on. My advice, take it for what it's worth. Thanks for fixing vandalism, a never ending job here. --Rogerd 22:04, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries use

I don't do it for every RfA. I do try to do it for every RfA for a user with <2000 edits, and do it sometimes for nominees with more. I'm trying to encourage people to use edit summaries, and I think it's slowly working :) The data for you; use of edit summaries is 90% overall, first 500 edits at 69% and last 500 at 97.8%. Doing great! I generate the data in an MS-Excel spreadsheet. It's automated for me after I copy the data. I just click a button. But, it's not a script tool I can put online. I think Kate's tool could be modified to include the capability though. --Durin 05:07, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Blocking of User:66.26.83.157

Not to second guess your judgement, but I noticed you blocked User:66.26.83.157 for 48 hours for vandalism. Both of his edits go George W. Bush seemed like a newbie test rather than malicious vandalism to me, and he even reverted his own test at Enemy of God. He has been warned on his talk page, and I think your 48 hour block was a bit overboard for a simple newbie test. The newbies of today are the worthwhile contributors of tomorrow, and I think we are scaring them off by taking such a harsh line on blocking. Again, this is just my opinion, you're the admin and if you feel differently then that is your decision. -Greg Asche (talk) 21:06, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

While I am always one who tries to assume good WP:FAITH whenever possible, the last two edits by this IP address were a dead giveaway that the edits were malintended, and not mere tests. [2] [3] "He was arrested for driving under the influence|being a lsalsd" was not something I interpreted as a mistake. As you may be aware, the George W. Bush is the most vandalised article on Wikipedia, with approximately 90% of all the edits towards that article being vandalism-related. Also note that each and every section (not just the header) of the George W. Bush article contains the following text: "Anyone who vandalizes the page may be blocked for 24 hours or more without further warning." There is simply no excuse for the actions of this particular editor. Hall Monitor 21:16, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

You might be a liitle strict with this user, explain that "This notice is needed so other users will not repeatly cite you for your potental vandalism and know that the matter has already been delt with." This is just my view, but freezeing someones talk page makes it hard for other users to raise this users warning messages if 66.214.251.126 continues trolling.

Anon. would be much happier if the page on Elizabeth Morgan reflected fact. It contains inaccuracies and considerable amounts of bias. She was not sent to prison for two years; she was sent to the District of Columbia jail for 22 months. She and Foretich met at Fairfax Hospital in Virginia. He was still married at the time and had lied to her about being divorced. Your page includes several citations that support Foretich's viewpoint and few if any supporting Elizabeth. This makes it slanted and incorrect. If you want to be seen as an authoritative source you need to correct these.

[edit] Minor oops...

Could you, perchance, use your newfound superpowers to undo my ill-thought out move of Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation pages with links to Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation pages with links/archive 01 - I was trying to keep the original history in the archived version. Didn't work out. Cheers!  BD2412 talk 03:04, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Thanks - there ought to be an "archive" function!  BD2412 talk 03:15, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Could you help with the article of the legal term "fair comment"?

I noticed that you are interested in law. Well quite some time aga I started an article called "fair comment". I must confess it was a way for me to get the fact out that "fair comment" is actually a legal term. This is now an established fact. However the article itself did not fare so well in the process. I was accused of mischaracterising the actual meaning of "fair comment" and the article was ... "modified"... While this in itself is not such a bad thing I have checked the newest version of the article and found some logical errors. In a long post I pointed out that I did not mischaracterised the meaning of "fair comment" and that there are logical inconsistancies in the last paragraph of the newest version...

I have however not edited the article since I started the original version and following the politicaly charged climate i do not intend to do so in the future.

Would you therefore please review my observations and conclusions?

For the sake of the article especially the logical errors are important, you can find my views about them under the following headline on the article talkpage:

1.6 "Following this sentance by sentance analysis I make these observations" and there observation number 3.

Most of the post is just to show that I did not mischaracterised the meaning of "fair comment".

Thank you in advance --Zirkon 12:05, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey, in case you didn't notice it in your watchlist, I replied on my talk page. But I think I fixed the problem. Make sure you hit shift-refresh, and I dont think it works in IE, although I could probably get it too if I weren't lazy :) Let me know. «»Who?¿?meta 22:42, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] User:210.8.54.35

[[4]] seems to be a school shared IP, and their last contribution was a revert of their own vandalism, so why block them for a month instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt? School users are our future contributors, even if they vandalize sometimes now. :-) --Unforgettableid | Talk to me 05:33, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Marren

Just so you know, that anon editor who you scolded for blanking the Marren and Brian Marren articles? He was right. They were worthless garbage; very ornate hoaxes. I'm in the middle of cleaning up all the damage. DS 02:02, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Brandt

Since it was unprotected thepage has been blanked 5 times in an hour. Brandt has askedon his wikipedia watch site "Who will rid me of this meddlesome article?" [5].

As a result, he and his freinds are vandalising it systematically. What to do? Please respont on talk page

[edit] Note about category markup

Hi Greg, I just thought I'd drop you a note after browsing your userpage. If you add a colon immediately after the first set of double brackets for a category, it acts as a link to that category page and does not place the page into the category. For example, [[:Category:Stubs]] results in Category:Stubs. These may be piped as normal, such as Stubs. Cheers, BanyanTree 01:16, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re Blocks

Right now you just placed plenty of blocks on AOL ips and I need them unblocked cause I cant edit. Could u unblock them please. 205.188.116.72 is a example Thanks --JAranda | watz sup 02:35, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Just curious, Aranda, but if the AOL IP blocks are affecting you, how come you're able to edit this page? Are the blocks just affecting specific pages, where the IP stays the same? Thanks. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | WS 02:38, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Someone using AOL and apparently IPs very similar to yours just went on a spree of user / user talk page vandalism. They used a different IP each time, and I blocked them all for 15 minutes. If there is a specific one that affects you, I will unblock it. :) (copy pasting from Aranda's talk page so we can follow this.) -Greg Asche (talk) 02:37, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Yep an AOL Ip Just attacked me saying that i like COMMUNIST PENIS thanks for the revert --JAranda | watz sup 02:48, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

I need all those AOL Ip numbers unblocked as OwenX re blocked them for 48 hours, and a few other admins are ignoring me and I cant do important edits. Thanks --JAranda | watz sup 04:26, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] wikipedia-watch

Hi,

I'm leaving this message on the page of all the users mentioned by Brandt on this new page of his wikipeida-watch site. As you can see from the link, he's put together a list of the Wikipedia users that he sees as his enemies, and is trying to collect as much personal information as he can about each of them. Just thought I should let you know. Canderson7 12:33, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] a speedy needed

An anon IP made a disambig page at Jack Whittaker, since there is a Canadian MP with the name in addition to the lottery winner. They, however, did a cut and paste move to Jack Whittaker (Virginian) for the lottery guy. This was an incorrect way to move the article, obviously, and is innaccurate, considering he is from West Virginia. I worked with the article and moved it in a proper manner to Jack Whittaker (lottery winner) and corrected the disambig. I believe the Jack Whittaker (Virginian) article meets the requirements for speedy, since it is a duplicate of an article in an accurate namespace, has no edit history, and is not linked to. Thanks for your help. Youngamerican 03:43, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Nevermind. Another admin got it. Cheers. Youngamerican 03:48, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Sorry to always bug you when I need a sysop in a hurry. I usually check the recent contribs until I see a name that I know to be an admin. Then I bug them (well, usually you) to do the mopping. Anyways, thanks and keep up the good work. Youngamerican 03:57, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WP:AIV

Hey, I blocked the user you removed from the list as you were removing it. He had already been blocked once, and warned, his last warning was done 5 hours after his last spamming link so I blocked him for 24 hours since I believe he probably just went offline and will return. If you don't agree, then you can unblock him since I wasn't sure. The user is 68.198.139.128. -- PRueda29 Ptalk29 01:54, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! Since I'm new at adminship, I wanted to make sure it was ok. This is my first block (other than an impostor of me), but since it's only for 24 hours then it won't hurt him. Also, I didn't put the block warning because right after I blocked him I noticed you had removed his name without block, but I will do that now. Thanks again for your congratulations! -- PRueda29 Ptalk29 02:01, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
