[edit] prevent page recreation

There are two ways of doing it.

The real old way:

  1. Create the page with {{deletedpage}}
  2. Protect the page

The old way:

  1. Make sure the page is deleted
  2. Go to WP:PT. Click on the current month (now March 2007).
  3. Add {{protected title|article name}}, see {{protected title}} for other parameters.
  4. For it to take effect, you have to purge the current month - http://en.wikipedia.org../../../../articles/p/r/o/Wikipedia%7EProtected_titles_March_2007_List_e719.html

The new way:

  1. Delete the page
  2. Protect it

See WP:HA#Posting_of_personal_information,WP:Oversight, Wikipedia:Request for oversight, and Wikipedia:Privacy (especially the last line).Rlevse 13:17, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History merges

Say you have the main article (article 1) and an article to be merged into it (article 2)

  1. Delete article 1
  2. Move article 2 to the same name article 1 had (so for instance, in this case it would be article 1)
  3. Then restore all the revisions for article 1
  4. All the histories are then merged
  5. Note:It's a very difficult to merge them back out
  6. Whichever article has the latest date/time becomes the current version

[edit] RFA notes

There are two sides of the "namespace balance" argument...Some auto-oppose anyone who doesn't have 500 kazillion article edits and some auto-oppose anyone who doesn't have 500 kazillion edits to xFD debates. They are both extreme end of the spectrum positions... Take a look at WT:RFA and there's plenty of discussion about why both are bad positions to take and how it is harmful to Wikipedia to oppose a valued user simply because they contribute in a different way than you do, but at the end of the day, there will still be a significant minority who will oppose for a variety of reasons.

[edit] Instructions for moving an image to WikiCommons

See Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons. There is a great tool that you can use - http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/commonshelper.php - that does 99.999% of the work for you. You just point it to the image that you want to move and it adds the text for the Commons description page. You need to create a Commons account first. Then open this tool, enter the name of the image that you want to move and then when it asks you to, save the Wikipedia version of the image to your hard drive. It will take you to the Commons upload page and it will already be fully decked out. Then, you come back to Wikipedia and tag the image with {{subst:ncd}} so that the Wikipedia copy of the image can be deleted (the Commons page will "show through"). If you have an image that is potentially useful, but isn't being used in an article right now, moving it to Commons is a great way of making sure that it doesn't get deleted as an orphaned image. Wikipedia isn't free webhosting and if an image is orphaned and we can't figure out at WP:IFD what it's supposed to be used for, it will be deleted. But if it is put on Commons (and preferably add it to an appropriate gallery or category), it's safe. --BigDT 22:41, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Note: licenses compatible with WikiCommons are PD, GFDL, and CC (Attribution, Attribution ShareAlike).

[edit] OTRS

To document approval/release of images, send to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, permissions@wikimedia.org; and permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. The email must clearly identify:

  • The name and email address of the person (or organization) who authored and owns the copyright to the image
  • The permission given (preferably licensed under the GFDL or released into the public domain, though any "free" license is acceptable)
  • The URL where the image has been uploaded
  • If you have OTRS pending on commons, use: this template

[edit] Stop outing

1. Don't use your real name.
2. Don't use a name that alludes to your real name.
3. Don't use a username you've used before.
4. If all your usernames all over are variants on something like "SeismicGuy", name yourself "Fluffy Nose" here, if you've never gone by Fluffy Nose before--it should be totally unrelated to you, and new.
5. Use a unique Gmail for your WP activities like Fluffynose@gmail.com. Never mail anyone from this Gmail except via the web-based interface, to conceal your IP address (Gmail does not forward a sender's IP address in the email headers).
6. Don't even enable mail if you're extra nervous--you can live without it.
7. Don't edit any articles related to your job, known activities, or known relationships.
8. Give out nothing about yourself on a personal level; keep the job "on-wiki".
9. Never meet anyone from Wikipedia in real life, over Skype, or anything else that gives them more than what they see "on-wiki".
10. Exclusively edit using proxy-based Internet access, or only edit from public locations/connections, to conceal your IP presence.

Thats the only way to totally, 100% stop outing. The more of these ten ideas you apply, the less likely it is to happen.
