Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Staffwaterboy

Staffwaterboy, I am sorry to inform you that I have closed your RfA as unlikely to reach consensus: there was an 0:4 ratio against the request at the time of processing. However, don't be downhearted by this: I can assure you that your contributions are both highly welcome and valued—many editors have failed their first request for adminship, only to sail through later and become well-respected administrators.

You may wish to review the Guide to RfA before submitting future nominations, as well as well as here and here, both of which list the more highly-supported RfAs. Additionally, admin coaching is a useful aid for editors interested in becoming an administrator. If I can assist you at all, please do not hesitate to contact me. Kindest regards, AGK (contact) 19:14, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

You are invited!

New York City Meetup


Next: Sunday March 16th, Columbia University area
Last: 1/13/2008
This box: view • talk • edit

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, and have salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).

Well also make preparations for our exciting Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, a free content photography contest for Columbia University students planned for Friday March 28 (about 2 weeks after our meeting).

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

You're also invited to subscribe to the public Wikimedia New York City mailing list, which is a great way to receive timely updates.
This has been an automated delivery because you were on the invite list. BrownBot (talk) 03:34, 4 March 2008 (UTC)



NYC meetup

I've tried to answer some of your questions at Wikipedia talk:Meetup/NYC#Meetup. Thanks.--Pharos (talk) 21:19, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Userbox

Hey, I was reading your userboxes and noticed that under the ones that say you're pro-life, you have a Libertarian party box that says you love abortion. I didn't know if you were aware of that or if that's how it was intended. If so, then disregard this comment from someone who is bored enough to read people's userboxes. ;-) Cheers. (p.s. As you can see from my userpage, we have some of the same beliefs.) AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 21:57, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Also, I notice you support gay marriage, etc. Have you thought about joining the LGBT project? We'd love to have you. Take care. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 22:28, 17 March 2008 (UTC)


Welcome to WikiProject LGBT studies!

Hi, Staffwaterboy/Archives/2008, welcome to WikiProject LGBT Studies!

We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles of interest to the LGBT community. Some points that may be helpful:

  • Our main aim is to help improve LGBT-related articles, so if someone asks for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able.
  • Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
  • The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as article quality assessment, peer review and a project-wide article collaboration, all of which you are welcome to take part in. We also have a unique program to improve our lower quality articles, Jumpaclass, so please consider signing up there.
  • If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign LGBT topics.
  • If you're planning to stay, have a square in our quilt! You can put anything you want in it.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

And once again - Welcome!

Userpage protection

Not sure if you noticed that your protection request for your userpage was declined. You are welcome to protect semi-protection of your userpage, which will prevent anonymous users, and new accounts from editing it. To request that, please add a new request for semi-protection to WP:RFPP, or just leave a note on my talk page. - Rjd0060 (talk) 23:38, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Done. - Rjd0060 (talk) 23:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you i appreciate it greatly Staffwaterboy Talk♂ 00:01, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Semi-protecting my userpage

I appreciate your advice. However, I really don't want to protect my userpage, even though it is vandalized so much. Someone else asked me why I don't protect my userpage. Here is what I told them:

“ Yeah, I know, but in my mind, protecting my userpage does two things:
  1. It lets the vandals win—"He warned me but he's scared I'll fight back, so he has his userpage protected."
  2. It lets the vandals let out steam.—"I got blocked, but I sure told him off..." Since I don't care what vandals think about me, I just let them spew off. If my page was protected, the vandal's anger could build up and they could turn themselves into another Hitler. I know that's probably a stretch, but you never know.

The reason I have all that crap on my userpage is to force vandals to work if they want to vandalize my userpage unobtrusively. Unless you know HTML and wikimarkup fairly well, you will not be able to figure out what is going on with my userpage. So basically, the only thing they can do is blank the page and/or add content that will be obviously out of place. Or they can add stuff to that banner, which I could quote to you in my sleep...

 ”

Hope that explains my reasoning. Thanks for the suggestion though. Have a good day, and may the vandals fail... J.delanoygabsadds 17:00, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Talk Page

I made it work on your userpage, but you can't do it on your talk page. Sorry. I'll email you instructions on how to edit it. Thanks, - Milk's Favorite Cookie 21:10, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Y Done Emailed you. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:35, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

my RFA

 Thank you!

Thank you for your support in my RFA. The passed with a final count of (73/3/1), so I am now an administrator. Please let me know if at any stage you need help, or if you have comments on how I am doing as an admin. Have a nice day! :) Aleta Sing 19:30, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: encryption

Well, that is part of a few secrets I have with my userpage. I don't want just anyone to be able know what I did to protect my page, so I will email you all my secrets... Just don't tell anyone what I did. If they really want (or need) to know, please email them. I don't want vandals to be able to look through the history of various talk pages to find the "key" to vandalizing my real userpage. So, a few minutes after I click submit on this message, you should get an email. J.delanoygabsadds 15:14, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Nice. I liked all the HTML pictures! The only thing I would do is change the img src things to something like <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/63/Wikipedia-logo.png" J.delanoygabsadds 17:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Statusbot is not working, so I have to manually change the status thing on my page. If you do not like the style I am using on my page, User:Milk's Favorite Cookie has a nice one on his page, but you may have to ask him how it works, as I am not sure. If that one doesn't work for you, I do not know of any others that can be changed manually. If don't like any of the ones that already exist, tell me what you want to have, and I can try to make it for you. J.delanoygabsadds 17:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
OK, here is a screenshot of the preview for my version. What do you think? J.delanoygabsadds 18:00, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

your pictures

Hello...I was just searching around, and came upon your two sunrise pictures. I sorta thought they were unproductive, and actually they might have detracted from the article, so I deleted them from the page. I didn't think you'd mind much, but if it annoys you, write back. Seriously doubt that, though. :) Thanks, mathwhiz29 00:27, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh! Happy Birthday! mathwhiz29 00:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

status template

OK, I put the template onto your userpage. The actual template is located at User:Staffwaterboy/statustemplate. In order to make the template work, go to your real userpage and find {{User:Staffwaterboy/statustemplate|busy}}. The part after the "|" thingy is the only part you have to change. The controls are as follows (all controls are lowercase only.): "in" is online, "out" is offline, and "busy" is somewhere. If you have any questions or if you want me to change how it looks or what the keywords are, just lemmeno. J.delanoygabsadds 12:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Award Center stuff

Can you give me the diffs on those contributions? Thanks a ton, --Sharkface217 00:41, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, nevermind. I checked myself. While it is true that you did a good job with those contributions, the rules of the challenge explicitly state that you need to sign up first and that anti-vandalism efforts before signing up don't count towards the challenge. I commend you for your extensive vandal fighting efforts, but currently they don't apply to the challenge. Sorry --Sharkface217 00:46, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

RE:Stopping

Thanks! You too! :) Cheers, Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 05:20, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Admin Rights

Am actually an administrator but lost my password for my account which had 30,000 edits in it so i know how to edit constructively. Its just not sure who to contact to have my admin powers reinstated. Adnimm (talk) 17:58, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

WP:AIV

Hello, please don't report vandals until they have vandalized past the final warning. The purpose of the warnings is to try to get them to stop before we have to block them, and if they do so, there is no reason for a report. Thanks for your help. Hersfold (t/a/c) 17:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

RC patrol

What's the template for "only warning you will receive?" Kaisershatner (talk) 16:40, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. I think it's called test4im. Kaisershatner (talk) 16:48, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Rollback request

Per this thread on my talk page, I'll abstain from adding it to your account. You are however able to request rollback at WP:RFR. Hope this helps. Regards, Rudget (review) 11:17, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism accusation

Staffwaterboy, I did not vandalize sex offender registration. I was making constructive edits. Please see my explanations. I updated the section about legal challenges and then consolidated the two "see also" sections into one. I hope that is satisfactory. 65.28.9.8 (talk) 13:37, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

No problem. These things happen.65.28.9.8 (talk) 13:41, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

WP:UAA reports

Please use more restraint in the users you are reporting. You have reported several usernames as "confusing" when they are in fact perfectly intelligible, you just don't know what they mean. You have also reported several usernames as "promotional" when they haven't been involved in any promotion; such usernames are not supposed to be blocked. You've been doing this at a very high volume and you need to slow down and report only clear violations of WP:U. Mangojuicetalk 17:57, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

You are still reporting non-blockable usernames. Please reread WP:U carefully. Let me give you some additional guidance. (1) Confusing usernames are ones with long repeated sequences of letters or numbers, or names apparently typed at random. (2) Misleading usernames either include a celebrity's real name or make the user sound like they are an admin or someone else powerful on Wikipedia. (3) Promotional usernames are generally not blocked unless the user actually engages in promotion. Even then, be sure the user is promoting a company or group, not just an individual - a person's real name is never a promotional username. (4) Offensive usernames do not include just anything with minor swear words (like "RickDick4"): they include names that editors would realistically have a hard time working collaboratively with. Mangojuicetalk 13:40, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
When you're in any doubt at all, don't report. The more borderline a username is, it is much more likely it won't bother anyone and also more likely the user will be a valuable contributor. You should report only usernames you are sure are in violation. Mangojuicetalk 13:47, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Sandbox

Apologies, did not mean to bother anyone. I thought it was only for one assigned user. Sorry, just started practising. Tuscumbia (talk) 16:42, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Heya

Thanks for the reports to RFPP. I think I've covered them all. Just a reminder, don't forget about reporting vandals to AIV! Protection is great when an article is under attack or has a BUNCH of vandalism, but if/when it's just one editor, AIV is often the preferred method. Thanks for the great work, and happy editing my friend! :) Jmlk17 02:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello!

Thanks for reverting my talk page! Say, what do you use as antivandal tool? --Cream (talk) 03:09, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I use huggle too! lol! --Cream (talk) 03:12, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Again, if you want a great edit counter tool, i can give you this tool wich you can add to your moonbook.js , it shows up under contribs and it shows graphically the editing habits of any user within a 15 minutes range on a weekly basis. *warning:bandwidth consuming tough*
Just add this to your monobook.js :

importScript('User:ais523/editcount.js'); //[[User:ais523/editcount.js]]

Anonymous edits not always vandalism

I assume you're using some automatic program to revert edits. Please pay a little more attention to edit summaries, discussions on articles, and history before you simply revert. Just because I'm anonymous doesn't mean I'm a vandal. 71.110.132.139 (talk) 04:10, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes i understand that i review the changes before they are made there for it is a semi automaticc but things do happen and i apologize for that. Staffwaterboy Talk♂ 04:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

You might need to start double checking when you review changes. You reverted good changes on this one BlueAg09 (Talk) 04:21, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Page protection

You've requested protection on over 20 articles in the last hour, some with only an edit or two in the last few months. Please be more careful when requesting protection; it causes unneeded work for admins. - auburnpilot talk 04:25, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I've declined some: the preferred solution is to block the IP if they don't stop. Semi-protection is for multiple-IP attacks. And we don't protect the Featured Article, which presently is Tomb of Antipope John XXIII. Acroterion (talk) 04:28, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

The one which is getting hit the most....

Staffwaterboy Talk♂ 04:30, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

As the FA always is. We all line up to revert it. It's important that we remain the Encyclopedia Anyone Can Edit. Acroterion (talk) 04:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
In this particular case, there is an unusual amount of activity: AuburnPilot's protected it for the time being.Acroterion (talk) 04:35, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Sounds good it was getting hit pretty hard.

note about removing my edit in the discussion on the "Charlton Heston" page

I'm fine with my comment being removed. I never expected it to stay. It was just a quick, cheap PLANET OF THE APES joke. Thanks for telling me though. Ken Burch 0403, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Peyronie's disease edit

I had recently accepted that link that the anon IP mentioned (though I modified with wording to make it more NPOV). If you or someone else objects to the link, that's fine too. It does appear to be a legit study as far as I can tell, but I'm not an expert in the area. OhNoitsJamie Talk 22:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Working Man's Barnstar

Figured I'd drop this off on your talk page for you to put on your userpage if you like. You beat me to the punch a few times a few days ago reverting vandals, and again once today. I noticed you already have an anti-vandal barnstar so I figured I'd use a different one. Keep up the good work and happy editing! --Ubiq (talk) 02:38, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

April 2008

Thank you for making a report about Nashyboy69 (talk · contribs) at Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention. Unfortunately, your report has been removed due to the username not violating policy, or not being blatant enough for a block. Please remember you should only post infringements on this page if they are so grave that the user needs to be blocked immediately. Others should be discussed with the user in question first, for example using the {{Uw-username}} template. A request for comment can be filed if the user disagrees that their name is against the username policy, or has continued to edit after you have expressed your concern. Thank you. The use of the number "69" does not make a username offensive in itself; certainly not offensive enough to warrant blocking without discussion. SamBC(talk) 14:05, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

User:170.161.70.163

Just a quickie - I've declined protection of Eel (my reasons are set out at WP:RFPP. Did you mean to ask for full protection anyway? If so, have a little look at the protection policy. Full protection is relatively rarely used, and never where there's vandalism from new accounts or IPs, as in this instance. I've removed the report to WP:AIV - there hasn't been any vandalism past the final warning, as far as I can see. I appreciate it's a school, so it's probably a matter of postponing the inevitable 3 month block anyway, but there you have it...! Thanks for your work. GBT/C 17:30, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Sig

Could you please remove the image from your signature? Per WP:SIG, "Images of any kind may not be used in signatures". Thanks! - auburnpilot talk 19:23, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Odd Semi-Protection requests

May I ask why you requested semi-protection for: Wisconsin Square (vandalized only 3 times by the same IP), Peyronie's disease barely vandalized, and European American only 1 vandalism revert this month? Thanks - Milk's favorite Cookie 22:58, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I understand. But if the IP was to vandalize Wisconsin Square again, he would be blocked. There would be no need for semi-protection. - Milk's favorite Cookie 23:03, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Well see if they do again the chances are very high.

Staffwaterboy Talk 23:05, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to be on your case or anything; but the accent that I have (Boston Accent) has only received one revert this month, with the last one before that being in ~ March 25. If you go you will find some examples of pages are semi-protected. Hope this helps! - Milk's favorite Cookie 23:20, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Ditto Joe Moore - Milk's favorite Cookie 23:21, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I Just re looked at Joe Moore and noticed that its kinda harder to tell when you are using huggles and you don't see the full history *looks manualy for now on lol*

WP:UAA notice

Thank you for making a report about Dickbrowne (talk · contribs) at Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention. Unfortunately, your report has been removed due to the username not violating policy, or not being blatant enough for a block. Please remember you should only post infringements on this page if they are so grave that the user needs to be blocked immediately. Others should be discussed with the user in question first, for example using the {{Uw-username}} template. A request for comment can be filed if the user disagrees that their name is against the username policy, or has continued to edit after you have expressed your concern. Thank you. That looks rather like it's a very plausible real name. Also, please note that "confusing" usernames are no longer blockable, per recent changes to WP:U. SamBC(talk) 17:27, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to add to that. I've warned you before about inappropriate reports to WP:UAA. You recently made a large number of inappropriate reports, most of which were declined, and one or two of which were actually blocked against policy. Please desist from making any more reports to WP:UAA; your understanding of the username policy is too poor for you to be doing this, and communicating with you has been ineffective. I know you're just trying to help out but your reports are harmful, so please stop. Mangojuicetalk 18:56, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

WP:UAA

Please see my comments, and other users' comments in UAA's history as to why I have declined to block a number of the usernames you have reported. Confusing userames generally must be of excessive length or random characters in order to merit a block. Any name that could be a name of something is generally not blocked.

Talk page archive deletion

Did you want the redirect User talk:Staffwaterboy/Archives/2008/March2008/March deleted, or did you want the actual archive page User talk:Staffwaterboy/Archives/2008/March2008 deleted? You moved the archive page to a new title, but then placed a speedy delete request on the archive page rather than the redirect title.

Let me know which one you wanted deleted, and I'll do it. I put a {{hangon}} tag on the existing archive page in case another admin comes along. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 16:46, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

MfD nomination of User:Staffwaterboy/thanks

User:Staffwaterboy/thanks, a page you created, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Staffwaterboy/thanks and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of User:Staffwaterboy/thanks during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you.

I removed the "hangon" template, since it's only for speedy deletions. You need to go to Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Staffwaterboy/thanks and state there your reasons for keeping the barnstar. You can also read other people arguments and explain why you think they don't apply to the deletion. After 5 days, an admin will look at the arguments and decide what to do --Enric Naval (talk) 03:43, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Emuno bar

A tag has been placed on Emuno bar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

Oak House Entry

You have removed all the changes i made to that article. The changes i made corrected the article which is factually incorrect. I know this because i am the Assistant Warden of the Accommodation being written about and have resided and worked there for over 10 years.

To be told my corrections add nothing to the article is a little insulting and is not correcting the wrong info! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.88.177.69 (talk) 02:29, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for the swift response, I am opening an account now. That probably makes edits look more legit than ones coming from a random IP. If you do a whois of my IP you will see its a Manchester Uni IP further confirming my identity :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.88.177.69 (talk) 02:34, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

A little note

Don't bother warning them. Just revert and report them to AIV. -Jéské (v^_^v Karistaa Usko) 02:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Who would you be referring to if i might ask? Is it a certain ip address  ? Staffwaterboy Talk♂ 02:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
It would be every IP address that attacked my talkpage within the past few hours. -Jéské (v^_^v Karistaa Usko) 02:46, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Cornelia Froboess

Hi, I see that you eliminated the information that Cornelia Froboess is an actress in theatre and movies as being not "constructive". Now if you look at her life you will see that her singing career was relatively short and most of her career has been spent as an actress, a fact not even mentioned in the article. Why do you think that mentioning her acting is not constructive? Ekem (talk) 02:37, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I have seen you around a lot lately, you are certainly keeping me busy at WP:AIV. Keep up all the good work. Trusilver 21:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Protection

Please do not ask for protection of articles for single acts of "vandalism". Both Solace red and The Horror Show Ep had one act of "vandalism" according to you. In fact, those were both the creator of the article blanking the page which usually qualifies as a request for deletion (see WP:CSD). Please be sure, in the future, that articles you request for protection are under constant vandalism or edit warring. Metros (talk) 21:54, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
