[edit] RfAr

I've replied there btw. dorftrottel (talk) 18:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I saw, and reviewed, but ran out of time to act. I'll get back to it sometime soonish. John Vandenberg (chat) 23:19, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
No hurry, I suppose, just my usual impatience... :) dorftrottel (talk) 06:45, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

OTOH, see here. If you still think it's a useful idea, it should be done soon so that any potential response can be evaluated and weigh into the proposed and final decision. dorftrottel (talk) 10:48, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

As one final precaution, I've discussed your suggestion with an arb, and they didnt see a problem. Im just about to head out of the office now; I'll do it in an hour when I get home. John Vandenberg (chat) 10:54, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Oh, ok. Good to hear. dorftrottel (talk) 10:57, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, and good idea imo with the dedicated Workshop section. I hope you don't mind my amendment according to my explanation here that comments by the parties regarding the evidence presented against their own behaviour are the most valuable and should be specifically asked for. dorftrottel (talk) 23:22, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I saw, and it was good. John Vandenberg (chat) 23:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bot problems

It's patrolling outside article space, and I don't see any connection between the bot's actions and the whitelist. DS (talk) 14:13, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Okay, the problem with letting it patrol any userspace edits made by the users themselves is that it's marking-as-patrolled userspace spam. This makes me uncomfortable. DS (talk) 16:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
The bot no longer autopatrols user/user talk on enWP. John Vandenberg (chat) 22:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikisource upload

Hi again, John. I've uploaded a similar document to the one you helped me with some time ago, here. I've also uploaded it to Commons here. I wrote up a summary on Wikisource here, but am not sure how to match it up with the uploaded file like you did for the other file I uploaded previously (this one: B-23). Can you take a look and tell me what I need to do? Thanks for any help you can provide. Parsecboy (talk) 18:31, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ENCA

Dear sir,

could you take of the speed deletion from ENCA.

I believe that ENCA is enough to have an own article in wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Neuleote (talk • contribs) 10:56, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

If you believe that, find good quality reliable sources to prove it to the rest of us. John Vandenberg (chat) 10:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your second welcome

Thanks for welcoming me here as well! Stratford490 (talk) 19:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for your comment and clarification. It is much appreciated. Tundrabuggy (talk) 01:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

It occurs to me to ask this question, based on the initial warning that I got from ChrisO here : [1] Am I to understand that the Arbitration committee regarding the Israel-Palestine Conflict area has recently passed some rules allowing administrators more leeway to discipline editors in that area? Is it also my understanding that they are supposed to come out with some report about this any day now? Tundrabuggy (talk) 02:41, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Tundrabuggy, the Arbitration Committee has imposed what it calls a "general sanctions" regime on that and a number of other topic areas. See Wikipedia:General sanctions. In general, what it means in practice is that administrative action may be triggered sooner and more robustly than might be the case in non-sanctioned topic areas. I'm not aware of any report being produced on it. -- ChrisO (talk) 08:07, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Semi-Protection From Anons

Hi. I'd like to ask you for semi-protection of two articles, Sheylanli and Minkend, from editing by anons. There are many IP's which teamed up for edit warring on those articles as you have blocked one. They don't give any useful summary for their edits, and the materials they add is inappropriate for the articles. I've observed that they push registered users into edit war and got them blocked on violation of 3 reverts rule. Thank you. Gülməmməd Talk 07:32, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I have semi-protected one, and full protected the other, both for a duration of two weeks. Hope that helps. John Vandenberg (chat) 12:35, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Definitely that will help. Thanks once again. Gülməmməd Talk 14:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] White listing

Hi there great idea having a bot automatically patrol the elite editors and contributors. I was wondering if you could extend the same courtest to User:EJF who is an active and able contributor. PLease see his contributions and then make a decision cheers ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 13:59, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I have moved the discussion to User talk:JVbot/patrol whitelist. John Vandenberg (chat) 21:24, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
