I am unsure of how to start a new subject. Regardless why did you remove the Alliance for Lupus Research. This is the second time an admin has removed it. It is a non profit organization focusing in lupus research. Whats the deal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.158.92.162 (talk) 15:54, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Any word on the reason for the Alliance for Lupus Research's deletion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.158.92.162 (talk) 16:36, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Spam Removal Question

While doing research on some sites I own, some sites came up in the context of "Spam" conversation here on wiki. we have never spammed or hired anyone to do this, and we have never been interested to have our web pages posted on Wiki. I ask that you please remove every reference of z-visa.com and chinavisaservice.org thanks for your consideration.

The link where I found this topic is here.. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Spam_blacklist/Archives/2007/03/Additions:_Done

Halfcocked

What's the idea going around de-linking this article, saying it's been speedily deleted? (diff, diff, diff, diff, diff, diff, diff) No one had even db-tagged it; that's just not cricket! What's particularly disturbing to me is that you are an admin. When you get back from your Wikibreak, please explain yourself. Thanks. Precious Roy 14:37, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I appologize, I deleted it (check the deletion log) by mistake, and I did not remember to un-delink the thing. Its a mistake on my part and I apologize, anything I can do to make it "right" for you? —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 10:48, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I spent about 10 minutes noting what can be improved with that article, also note on the talk page that someone has questioned what "type" of band they are. —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 13:16, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

That's fine—an honest mistake (I hadn't checked the deletion log; I only looked at the edit summaries). Where are your notes for improvement? Cheers! Precious Roy 13:57, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

I edited the article, note my edits, and I left some comments intersparsed in the article text. Some things could use clarifications, others could use a source or two. (comments are of the <!-- comment --> kind —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 14:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Doy. Didn't think to check that. Ta! Precious Roy 15:08, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

I've done a little bit more to spruce things up. It still needs work but I'll leave that for someone else. It's solid enough now to withstand an AfD, which is all I was interested in doing. I was never a fan and yet I found myself compelled to do all this work. Now that I'm done, I'm off to take the Wikipediholic test. Cheers! Precious Roy 17:23, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Good Job

Thank you for the way you handled my unblock request: You didn't just hit "DECLINE"; you posted to the original blocking adminstrator on their talk page for more information, and posted to me on mine to inform me of that. Thanks,Anon75dot17dot141dot214 03:53, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Well yes, you were making a claim that I could not verify, so asking the admin who you mentioned in the unblock request was the only reasonable way to deal with it :). Thank you. —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 13:21, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Eagle 101 question

I noticed you deleted the ARK_(band) albums.

10 December 2006 - Eagle 101 (Talk | contribs) deleted "Burn the Sun" (Per CSD A7 - Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. Please read Conflict of interest for more guidence)

I understand that completly. In fact users are subjective and biased and add useless information they find relevant to themselves. And many more important articles and subjects don't get any attention. So why would we have this non-notable articles while others are left out. Its a matter of inconsistency, right?

So here are some more non-notable articles that need your attention. I would delete them myself, but other biased users object to that and disregard the rules. And question my motives since I created those articles.

• Aura Noir albums (whose album covers were already deleted).
• Ved Buens Ende, bootleg (bootleg don't need articles, I have seen many bootlegs already deleted), and the demo should be merged with the album.
• Virus (band) album, again non-notable.
• Carl-Michael Eide (already proposed for deletion, currently is in AfD)
• Rune Erickson, there is nothing in this article that isn't already said on Mayhem's page.

That is it for now. Tell me what do you think about this. Thanks, Death2 17:46, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

You're being discussed at WP:AN

Please see WP:AN#Massive deletion of South Vietnam medals based on "copyright violations". Thanks. Chick Bowen 01:37, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

I sure you meant well

While I'm sure you meant well on "Template:South Vietnam Medals", I have had run-ins with the guy who operates that website. He has taken most of his images from either the IOH, Randolph Air Force Base, or NPRC. He has shouted copyright violation for several years and at one point tried to sue the National Archives and Records Adminsitration, claiming that he owned copyright to anything and everything about South Vietnamese medals. I dont think those medal pictures should have been deleted and asked for a restore of them here [1]. Once again, no hard feelings, I'm sure you were doing what you thought was right. Thank you. -OberRanks 01:39, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Note on Battle of Jenin

Sorry, Eagle, but part of the problem here is one editor starting a new section every other day rehashing the same failed arguments over and over, and I don't really feel a pressing need to rebut them over and over anymore at this point. I've already vented about that kind of behaviour here, because after reading that page I'm not so sure its just an idiosyncrasy, as I had imagined per WP:AGF. He again removed the number three, made some other minor changes at the same time which I don't really care about. Then he removed the weasel tag, which AFAIK was there because he keeps removing the number three. Perhaps I should have reverted by hand, but he keeps sneaking that reversion in with other edits himself, and at the rate he's going, the 't' 'h' 'r' and 'e' keys on my keyboard will need replacing. I'll try to be more cautious in the future, but I'm having an increasing hard time cutting this tendentious editor much slack. I'm trying, though, I promise. -- 146.115.58.152 18:57, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I am happy to comply. I once saw a misleading edit summary frustrate an editor into 3RR, leading to a block, which helped lead to the loss of good faith in that editor by an admin, which lead to an AN/I, which got turned into a CN ban, which led to an ArbCom, and ultimately wasted the time of hundreds of editors, all the while the guy who left the misleading edit summary was long forgotten by everyone involved. It's nice to see edit summaries receiving some administrative oversight. It's this sort of attention to Fixing Broken Windows which nips problems in the bud, which I myself have complained about previously.[2] (Actually seeing some "community policing" around this topic is enough to make me strongly consider changing my opinion there too.) -- 146.115.58.152 04:15, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I finally did change my vote there.[3] I know this can be a disheartening area of the wikipedia to police, and I'm no sycophant, but keep up the good work. -- 146.115.58.152 03:46, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Super Mario RPG lists

Currently, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars has two lists pertaining to it (List of characters in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and List of locations in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars). User:TTN decided it would be best to merge the lists into the main article and split Smithy Gang into those articles. I recently merged Smithy Gang into the list of chatacters by removing the non-notable characters, and I have asserted that a cameo section in the list of characters is valid, per Wikipedia:Trivia sections and Wikipedia:Handling trivia that uses Alex Trebek#Cameos as a good example. I have suggested that we rename the articles per Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting potentially controversial moves to something along the lines of Characters of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and World of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars or Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) just like Characters of Final Fantasy VIII and World of Final Fantasy VI or Gaia (Final Fantasy VII). I believe if these articles are to evolve beyond a non-notable list, they should be renamed. For example, List of Final Fantasy VII locations was merged into Gaia (Final Fantasy VII), because a World article is notable, but a simple list of locations is not. That is why there are other secions of the article to make it a World article. It simply has not been renamed yet.

TTN believes the citations in the development and reception sections of the list of locations, books and magazines, are trivial sources. When I added that the 3D perspective of the game is reminicent of Equinox to the main article, TTN removed it since my souce was "the opinions of the Nintendo Power player's guide writers". Although it was actually Nintendo Power magazine, I do believe a magazine is a reliable source, and I gave a page from Next Generation Magazine which also said the same thing. In addition, I was surprized that TTN said that it was from the players guide, since he claims to own the players guide for the game. He has not verified this, since I asked him for citations in May, "Could you look in the back of the Player's Guide and tell me what “types” of … Magic? I forgot what they call it in the game … well, anyways, what types of Special Attack or whatever it is (actually, could you find out what it's called?) there are? I remember some vaguely when I owned the guide like “Fire”, “Jump”, “Electricity?”, etc. Could you provide a citation, like the page number with a quote in context?" TTN replied that he was going to "get to it" (User talk:TTN/Archive 5#List of locations in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars). TTN claims the player's guide is "at the bottom of a box that's behind at least five others in a cramped space". Seeing that TTN did not recognize that the page was not from the player's guide when I provided a scan of the page in question from Nintendo Power shocked me. However, I have continued to assume good faith by not questioning TTN's honesty.

Per Wikipedia:Consensus#Consensus can change, I have offered five different reasonable, temporary compromises that might integrate my idea with TTN's.

1. Go over the list of characters so we can delete non–notable characters
2. Rename the articles by following the steps at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting potentially controversial moves.
3. Cut down the geography section list of locations by cutting it into the regional maps the adventures use when traveling from one to another. I can get pictures and write the fair use rationals, and someone can cut down the text that has no citation and does not allude to other media.
4. Write the concept and creation and reception sections for the list of characters
5. Write the concept and creation section for the main article

TTN rejected my compromise because it still keeps the articles. I agreed I would consider a redirect, but Wikipedia:Article size does not allow that, since the list of locations is currently 82 KB long. Instead, I agreed to help cut down the geography section that is the bulk of the article, but TTN rejected that as well because TTN states, "I am not interested in working on the article in regards to improving it." and "get past this "having sources automatically means that this information is good" mentality." TTN states, "I don't think they have or will ever assert notability." I have replied with, "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, so if you don't think the articles will ever assert notability, we cannot yet know this, per Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#I don't like it.

Falklands mediation

Hi Eagle, are you still mediating on the Falklands issue? This has not been referred to ArbCom and we've both posted our drafts.

Broken redirects

I saw your RfA and had a couple of comments. One, Special:BrokenRedirects doesn't catch all of the broken redirects. At the end of August, a user generated a list of broken redirects for me and I deleted well over 1,000, some of which had been around for months. Two, I'm of the strong opinion that interwiki redirects should be converted to use {{softredirect}} rather than redirect code. I recently re-did the template to look more like a normal redirect, and it alleviate the problem of confusing the system. Any thoughts? Cheers. --MZMcBride 03:53, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your input. This is not an attempt to promote the distro. Ubuntu CE is currently #31 on the Distrowatch popularity rating. It is down a bit from #25. It was in the top 25 almost since its initial release over a year ago. Ubuntu CE has a loyal and growing user base and has gained sufficient notability to warrant a page on Wikipedia. I should note that I did not create the initial Wikipedia entry.--Mhancoc7 10:38, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Alarming comment

I'm alarmed about the one comment you made in this discussion. Uninvolved editors were expressing their opinions based on their viewing of Battle of Jenin (or rather, their viewing of a complaint and the evidence against another editor). Each of these uninvolved editors appears to have seen something very different from what appeared in the complaint, and they started expressing their views on the entire picture (in which you and I are very much involved). Your hasty comment "I would suggest that in the future Keven, that you don't make claims like that without backing them up. Lets try to build an encyclopedia here." would appear to have cast a chill over this "village pump" discussion of the situation. I've previously seen excellent judgement from you, and my view won't change as a result of this incident, but I wondered whether you're still sure you wish to "mediate" the discussion on that page? PR^talk 14:12, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

I apologize if I came out the wrong way there, from a third party looking at that, I could not tell what he was talking about, and he left no links or any evidence to back up his assertion. I'll be honest, I really don't care what the result is, but I do care about accusations that don't link to any evidence. Any third party seeing that statement can't easily find what the problem was. I should have phrased that as a simple request to post the link to where the problem happened. (the ANI posting whatever). Again I apologize, I should have clarified what I meant. —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 22:46, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

I recently reviewed the contribution logs of all the accounts and IP addresses that I can recall having used. My goal was to identify all of the intentionally harmful edits I caused, and to apologize to the individual users who reverted those edits, or warned me, or blocked me.

Hence, I apologize to you and to all of the following users:

(I also reverted one edit myself after it went unnoticed for three weeks.)

Thank you for maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia against everyone who has attacked it, including my old self.

If you wish to respond, please do so at my talk page.

Gerber Crater

Eagle,

I saw your comments on my userspace. Like I told Willy, I won't revert the template again as I realize it would be a violation of 3RR. As for AfD, I prefer not to take that route, I'd rather allow the author to state some notability about the article instead. As I told WillyD, I realize the article has four references in it and therefore satisfies the official requirement. However, common sense states that a hole in the ground is not notable , no matter what. If that were true, we'd have article about the well in someone's back yard . That being said, if the author can show notability, I'm all for it. I'd prefer to give him or her the opportunity before sending it to deletion (Which I know is a consensus driven event, no automatic). See you around! KoshVorlon ".. We are ALL Kosh..." 19:59, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Theft vandal

It's always the same guy, from a floating AOL IP. Very little point banning, he'll just log out & log back in. He's quiet tonight but it's clear from past behaviour that he's determined to test us. Semi-pp would do for now. A week usually quietens him down, since this is the only page he vandalises. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 23:01, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Right but there has to be a better way then locking down the article. Perhaps the WP:XFF project? —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 23:04, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'm beginning to lose patience here. I've just reverted for the second time and left a VW4im on his talk page. He's a recidivist and I'd rather be writing articles then protecting them. Meanwhile, I will look at WP:XFF but it probably won't solve the immediate problem. He's clever enough to wait a while until he thinks no-one's watching before he vandalises, and if the page isn't protected, he'll be back tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 23:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, yes, yes, which means in essence we have to semi-protect the page indefinatly, which is not something I want to do. I'll add this page to the pgkbot on IRC. —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 23:13, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Does not need indefinitely. He won't set up an account. Past pp's have been for a week but it's clear he is fully aware of this since he seems to know exactly when to come back. Perhaps a month & he'll get the message? I don't want to seem rude but I guess you haven't been an admin for long. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 23:19, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Only about a year and 3 months or so, in any case, I'm watching the page. —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 23:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

User:EagleAstroidBot

I'm just dipping my toes into bot work, and I'm interested in finding out how you programmed this bot. I think all the articles that can be made by a bot have pretty much been made, but I think knowing how to grab data off a page is useful nonetheless.

My RfA

Thank you for participating in my RfA. As you may be aware, it was closed as "no consensus". Since your vote was one of the reasons why it did not succeed, I would like to personally address your concerns so that I can reapply successfully. Your concern was "not confident with your views on WP:NFCC. We are building a free content encyclopedia. Fair use should only be used when its needed."

It seems that I was not clear enough in my RfA that as an administrator, I would have to obey the community's wishes, no matter now much I disagree with them. It would be wrong of me to force my personal opinion on others.

Please let me know if this addresses your concerns. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 02:47, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

(replying to message on my talk page) - I was not the original uploader of either of the images that you pointed out, and I uploaded them before I got involved with the whole NFCC business. You can delete both of those images if you want.

Secondly, I was already aware that Firefox is free software except for the logo, but I do not understand what you mean by "the google logo you would be fine in displaying an image of firefox." Could you elaborate? —Remember the dot ^(talk) 04:41, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

(replying to message on my talk page) - Yes, I was aware that the Google logo is also non-free. I've been working with non-free images for some time. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 15:51, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

(replying to message on my talk page) - I'm sorry, it would seem that I was not clear enough in my earlier message to you. I was not the original uploader of Image:Mac listbox screenshot.png. All I did was convert it to the PNG format and tweak it a bit. The image description page states:

Originally uploaded as Listbox.gif on 14 Jan 2006 by Grand Edgemaster. This new version is in the PNG format and is the exact same quality as the original but with a smaller file size. This new version has additionally been autocropped by the GIMP.

I re-uploaded this image in December 2006 (10 months ago), before I became more involved with the non-free image policy. I absolutely agree that it should be deleted. I do not believe that images I uploaded 10 months ago reflect on my current understanding of the non-free content policy. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 18:33, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Blocked IP question

Hi, I've had a problem for quite a while that I was hoping you could help with.

It looks like you blocked the IP address my web site is hosted on last spring (64.202.165.131) and I was hoping you could give me some more information about why and what I can do about it.

My site uses PHP CURL to screen scrape a small number of Wikipedia articles. When the problem started I asked about it (here) and got the impression that what I am doing isn't a problem and that it might be someone else on the same server that caused the IP to be blocked.

I've tried logging in to try to get around the problem, but I still get the same error:

If reporting this error to the Wikimedia System Administrators, please include the following details:
Request: GET http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=login&lgname=symmetric&lgpassword=xxx, from 64.202.165.131
 via sq27.wikimedia.org (squid/2.6.STABLE13) to ()
Error: ERR_ACCESS_DENIED, errno [No Error] at Tue, 30 Oct 2007 00:15:52 GMT

Can this IP be unblocked and is it possible to tell why it was blocked? Is there something else I can do?

I've decided (for several reasons) to switch my hosting service to a dedicated server without shared IPs. Hopefully this will fix this problem. I'm still interested in the answer, but it's not a priority for now....Thanks, Symmetric 19:55, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

read before you template users!!!!!!

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to User:Eagle 101/problem BLPs, you will be blocked from editing. Excirial ^{(Talk,Contribs)} 13:10, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

What on earth? Did you bother to read the page? Did you bother to assume good faith? No,you saw me using the word 'scumbag' and you went into vandal fighting mode. I'm an experienced wikipedian working on a serious project to do with legal issues and biographies, please alway read the context of additions before assuming vanalism. You are acting like a bot.--Doc^g 13:40, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

• First: Due to using Lupin to revert and compare, Im only getting partial diffs, meaning that most of the page context is lost when checking for vandalism. What i noticed was that you used the word "Scumbag", and that you misspelled the word "Too" as "Tioo". Thats enough for me to assume vandalism, especially since it was an user page you were editing.
  Second: You are right that i should have assumed good faith here, especially since it was your "Vandalistic" edit. However, seeing that it was an user page i decided to add a bad faith edit here, as virtually all user page vandalisms occur due to earlier vandalisation (For which there wasnt any warning). Also, most user page vandals are persistent when vandalising.
  Third: No matter what, calling a person a "scumbag" is vandalism. granted, i could have used an uw-npa1 template here, but the generic vandalism template allows for much faster reversion, even if the information it provides it a little less informative.
  
  In short, i still say your edit was vandalism, no matter how you turn it around. I don't care what or who the person is you are talking about, a personal attack is a personal attack. Feel free to disagree with me, but that's just the way it is, or rather, thats the way i think about it. After all, An encyclopaedia is supposed to be neutral, and not biased by someone's personal opinions, including mine :) --Excirial ^{(Talk,Contribs)} 14:04, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

• You might want to see WP:DTTR. I really doubt he was vandalizing. —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 13:50, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Actually, let me ask you, why the heck did you put a test3 warning, without any prior warnings? Might want to look a bit closer, both at the circumstance, and the user. —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 13:56, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

• I assessed most of your comments i already answered in my previous post. First thing first: WP:DTTR is an essay, not a guideline. I partly agree with its content, but there are two problems with it: First, there are about a dozen possible vandalism reports every 30 seconds. I dont have the time, nor the interest in checking what the post count of a certain contributor is. Hence, i got better things to do! Also, vandalism is vandalism, no matter how you turn it. If i vandalise a page, intentional or not, i would like the reverter to leave a warning he did so. A template is a fast way for doing so, and i don't have any problems with them. Check my user page, there are three (Incorrect) template warnings user there. Second, vandalism is vandalism, no matter how regular a user is. In this case the partial diff showed an edit that looked a lot like vandalism, so i reverted it and went on to the next vandal. --Excirial ^{(Talk,Contribs)} 14:19, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

• Hmmm, your getting rather personal here: (→Ulf Ekberg - piss off), (You are acting like a bot.). If you think im wrong please do tell, but when doing so, please keep it professional, and not personal. Doing so wont get either of us annoyed :) --Excirial ^{(Talk,Contribs)} 14:24, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Well when you falsely claimed he vandalized, ("Personal attack" is NOT equal to vandalism. Please read up on WP:VAND for what vandalism is and is not. Also please read about assuming good faith, tagging a contributor with a test3 without any prior warnings on soemthing that I'd say is not even vandalism is just offensive. He is within his rights to be pissed off. —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 14:44, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

You should also note that the page is in userspace, and is being used as a launching point to remove slurs and other bad things (tm) from WP:BLP class articles. —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 14:46, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

• *Sighs* a personal attack is not equal to vandalism, i know, and i already knew. In this case i would like to note that lupin automatically places an uw-vand1 in the user page that i open when clicking vandalism. Generally taken i just modify the number shown to warn vandals, as the uw-vand is the most generic template. Please excuse me for using about 5 different templates, and not the about 30 available templates that would undoubtedly be more fitting in certain situations.
  
  Again, from my point of view he committed a vandalism. What i saw was the addition of the word "Scumbag" next to the name of a person, which caused a bad faith warning. Granted, i could/should have used a level one or two warning, but i didnt. Is that a reason to be pissed off like this? In my opinion it isnt. Simply asking "Why do you keep reverting me?" or saying "I think you are wrong here" would have worked just as well and would have been a lot more polite; It would actually have worked even better since at this time im being forced to defend my own actions, which is actually a waste of everyone's valuable time (In my opinion that is).
  
  Also, good luck with making the biographies wikipedia compliant. Biographies are most times heavily biased since they are mostly based upon the interpretation of a persons actions by third persons. Nice to see some people willing to sort them out :) --Excirial ^{(Talk,Contribs)} 15:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
  

You have to understand though, that accusing a good faith editor (You can't tell me that what doc is doing is not in good faith) of vandalism is not polite either. Its actually rather insulting. I just would hope that in the future you take the time to realize that its not the run of the mill vandal, and that perhaps taking the extra minute is in order. I don't understand how you can view his edit as "vandalism", he was simply stating that he finished a case, and though the guy was a scumbag we still have to have reliable sources. Could he have worded it better, sure, is it worthy of a revert and a:

Test 3 warning, I don't think so. I'm not really pissed as much as appalled that you would threaten a good faith editor with blocking. Do you see where I'm coming from? Yes its important to patrol for vandalism, and I thank you for doing so, but you have to be sensitive to those that are acting in good faith. Doc was obviously offended, and demonstrated it by his blanking of your warnings, and I emphasize with him, was his blanking the best thing? Probably not, but was threatening him with blocking the best thing to start with? If you have an issue with a long time contributor's edits, you should bring them up to them in a bit better fashion then threatening to have them blocked. This situation would never have occured had you merely raised the issue up with him on his talk page, (realizing he was making an edit to a list of BLPs that need cleaning up). —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 17:22, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

• I certainly don't doubt he is editing without good faith. Hence, i respect his work and commitment to wikipedia. However, you are underestimating the magnitude of vandalism, especially around that hour. Every thirty seconds there are about 20 possible vandalism cases, of which 12 or so are clearly vandalism, 6 that are no vandalism, and 2 that are discussable, or need further investigation. If i have to investigate each user thoroughly for possible reasons he isn't a vandal, it like trying to empty the sea with a teaspoon. In those cases its simply taking another look and judging if it should be left alone or reverted. And in this case the "Tioo" misspelling, the word "Scumbag" and the user page location were simple signals to count it as vandalism.
  
  In short, i made mistake while reverting vandalism, for which i of course apologize. However, i rather make 1-2% mistakes then letting 50% extra vandalism pass trough my line of defense, possibly to not be reverted. Im also not going to check how long a user has been around just to avoid, say 0.25% of my mistakes. Its still no excuse for the level 3 warning though, which, in retrospect, i cant explain. Im not even sure if i hit the right key on that one, as i never give above level 2 for first warnings, unless the edit is clearly severe or pure destructive vandalism(Which isnt the case). The second warning i apparently gave him was just based on the already existing, recent level 3 warning(Which happend to be mine). I can understand that receiving a "Block" warning is annoying, but i don't exactly have, or want to take the time to type a customized message each time. Even so, he could have rationalized that the warning was a standard, non personal template handed out in error. As you can see i also received multiple unjust warnings, but i don't care about them, since i can just contact the user to say he was wrong. Its nothing to get angry about really, as he personally knew he wasn't vandalizing. Hence, i would just shrug it of and tell the reverter to take another look. Certainly his edits are good faith, but don't forget mine are to, and we can both make unintentional mistakes. Is that a reason to be angry or appalled? I doubt it. At least, i wouldn't be. ^^ --Excirial ^{(Talk,Contribs)} 18:27, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

• (outdent) May I make some third party comments? Like Excirial, I do vandalism-reversion using Lupin's tool (slightly modified, in my case - be wary of copying, my JavaScript is still rubbish) and standard templates. Both are great tools but they're just that, tools, and they need to be used properly. Like many useful tools they make it easier and quicker to do the wrong thing - I've learned that the hard way. I would like to suggest to Excirial that he would do well to install popups and, before reverting a registered editor, to hover his mouse over the 'contribs' link and have it show him what else the editor has done recently. This has saved me from a few gaffes in the past. And I would ask his critics to cut Excirial some slack. His contributions so far, in a very short space of time, have been overwhelmingly positive, albeit in a very narrow field and despite a few regrettable errors. Philip Trueman 18:19, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

• Thats actually an excellent suggestion Philip, Many thanks for the advice! In currently using lupins uw-vand button which immediately takes me to the edit screen. In there i have to read trough the "Spread out" templates to see if a user vandalized before, which is, due to the HTML nature, an annoying process. I have only used lupin, and a twinkle ARV module so far, but it sounds like this will solve this kind of registered problems, as well as my own "HTML Decode" annoyance. And by the way: Feel free to jump into whatever discussion on my user page that you want to. The more, the merrier (As long as it aren't vandals) :) --Excirial ^{(Talk,Contribs)} 18:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Falkland Islands - process question

I just happened to be looking at the falkland Island's case to get a sense of how mediation works (or in this case does not work). I'm curious about the process: as an outside observer it is pretty obvious that User:Alex79818 isn't reading his own sources. He responds to User:Justin_A_Kuntz's cited claim that the "identity of the islands are in dispute" by saying it is unsourced, YET Justin's cite (which was also brought by Alex in his original list of sources) does in fact say that: verbatim.

I'm sure you realized that, so I'm wondering what is the function of keeping silent about it (I'm imagining that your silence was intentional). Egfrank 11:22, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

your comments on an article

Hi Eagle 101-

I'm new to Wiki, but I don't understand why you added a link to my page:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farid_Abboud saying "potential crap" what does this mean? Is there something wrong with the way I put the article together?

Please advise what is going on?

Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.196.244.65 (talk) 22:22, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I assume you found that link on User:Eagle_101/potential_crap_2. If you look at the link, and read the instructions at the top of the page, its quite clear why it showed up. This report was done by an automated process. "Your", I say that in quotes as nobody owns articles around here, article happened to meet those machine criteria. Upon further examination, without an assertion of notability and some work done to the article, it may end up deleted. —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 22:49, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I didn't think about people looking at What Links Here. Perhaps we should use a different word other than "crap". Linking Farid Abboud, an article about the current Lebanese Ambassador to Tunisia, to the word "crap" doesn't seem to be a good way to go. Perhaps the two User:Eagle_101 subpages can be moved to a less provocative name. -- Jreferee t/c 23:32, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

If you really insist on being correct, please do so. However I like to call the shots as they are. These are articles that are by our standards "crap". Perhaps when they are no longer considered crap, folks will be kind enough to remove the article from the list. The page is an internal page, allowing editors to clean up the bottom of the barrel, that article was "crap" until someone fixed it. (check the history). —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 23:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm fine either way. It is unlikely that inexperienced users will be using the What Links Here feature and experienced users will understand the message. Plus, we do use crap in WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS and WP:CRAP did exist as a redirect for a few months, so the term is operative within Wikipedia. -- Jreferee t/c 23:44, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

So I guess I fall somewhere in the middle. I consider myself inexperienced, yet I did find the link containing the word crap. Seems you to can discuss the appropriate nomenclature. So now it seems like someone deleted most of the content and found it to be a worthy subject. Honestly what was wrong with the content prior to this decreased content? I would appreciate the help. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.196.244.65 (talk) 00:35, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Well we are an encyclopedia, so whats actually important is listed. If you can find secondary reliable sources for the other stuff, feel free to put it in, but it has to meet all the requirements of our biographies of living people policy. Note, you can also check the history and ask the editor that removed the content, however I'm willing to answer any specific questions as well. You should note that the article has been cleaned up a bit, and has some internal links in it now, which makes for a better article :). —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 01:31, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: User:Eagle_101/potential_crap_2/els_sort - I was trying to think of a way to use a ratio of els to sentences as a way to determine the most liklely deletion candidate. I'm not sure what info you can pull from an article. But perhaps using ratios of els, # sentences, # characters, # internal links, # articles linking to the page, # different editors, # different articles edited by each contributor to the article, length each contributor has been with Wikipedia etc. there might be a way to locate the worst of the worst. Sorting all wikipedia articles by the # words ending in -ly might bring up WP:CSD#G11 Blatant advertising speedy deletes. If you go through WP:WEASEL and Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms and derive a list of such words and then sort all wikipedia articles by those having the most weasel and peacock terms, we might find more WP:CSD#G11 Blatant advertising speedy deletes. -- Jreferee t/c 23:23, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: S. Sowmya

Please don't call a website unreliable because of a temporary server issue. To remedy this issue, if you want a stack of other reliable sources (links), I could give them, though, I don't imagine it would improve the quality of Wikipedia until I can incorporate it all in the article - it would merely satisfy the somewhat ridiculous criteria so that editors and admins can't nitpick at the article, despite the fact it has barely been a few hours old.

Though I really really appreciate you asking me about it, my frustration is that these articles aren't in dire need of deletion at any level other than a nitpicking one. They're important as biographies of famous singers in the field of Carnatic music. I can only request other editors and administrators for some time (up to a month) rather than to periodically place it for speedy deletion and leave yet another stack of red links for some of us editors to keep rolling our eyes at. I'm generally a regular contributor at Wikipedia so will have improved these articles in this time, so I hope my word can be taken (and the time I've taken in creating these articles today will not be a waste as a result of a ludicrous triviality).

The official policy need to be reformed somewhat (with respect to this criterion which you have quoted), and I will raise my issue with it at a later time (when I have time!)

Cheers! Ncmvocalist 09:02, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm not saying the site is down. I'm asking what makes these singers notable? All these articles say is they are singers... so what? What have they done in the context of history or current times that makes them important? I as a casual reader don't know what these guys have done. I'm not trying to be annoying, if I were I'd just template you with one of those silly templates >.>, I'm just more or less curious. I mean you took the time to write up these one sentence articles... what makes these particular singers worth the effort? :) Cheers! —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 09:33, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh. I'd have to continue the articles at some point - they're famous because of the varieties of compositions they sing, how effectively they sing them, who they learnt under (these teachers are often famous for something they did in history or for much the same reason), for their style and so on; all the while dedicating their lives to the field. Others can't sing to that standard that would what make them famous or notable, I guess. Thanks for the honesty :) :) :) These questions have given me an idea on how to tackle articles like these in detail in the future. Expect a buzz when I've given more specific answers in the articles itself, sometime in the future, if not soon! Cheers - Ncmvocalist 10:25, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Alright, might be a good idea to put some links and references to what you note, just so some trigger happy admin does not happen to delete them for being not important/notable. (WP:CSD#A7 I think :) ). I personally was just a tad confused as to what the heck they did! I can sing myself... but as I'm deaf, certainly not worth an article! (my singing is somewhere between horrible and I'll kill myself to make it stop! ;) ). Do carry on and help expand this great encyclopedia! :D —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 10:43, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

My hands are tied for the this week with other work (outside of Wikipedia) so I can't work on it immediately, but will do it soon for sure. :D You're awfully hard on yourself about your singing, and though I haven't heard it, I'm sure it can't be half that bad ;)

I was annoyed to notice that Priya Sisters - Shanmughapriya & Haripriya page was deleted by User: Doc glasgow, not for notability, but for something else (CSD#R1) - which in this case doesn't seem relevant. To add insult to injury, there was no discussion whatsoever. With the exception of you :) , it's really very frustrating that there are admins who keep deleting pages like this without giving editors an opportunity to fix their stuff up - applying the speedy criterion inflexibly is just grossly careless on their part and more effective measures need to be put forward so pages aren't deleted so immediately and irreversibly like this for trivial reasons. If there is something that really needs to be deleted, chances are that it will be reported to the admins anyway. There was no dire need to delete this page, or several other pages in other cases. It's really off-putting that I can't do anything about it now. :( Hope I/we can push for some sort of change or modification to the guideline sometime later if you understand and agree with what I'm saying to some extent.

Anyway, cheers for hearing (i mean seeing) my rant of frustration, and again for the feedback. :) Ncmvocalist (talk) 11:28, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Just remove it and let the author know its not permitted. See our policy on such things at WP:FU. To summarize it fair use is only permitted in mainspace, so any other use should just be removed.

Those are wonderfully using listings, but i suggest you retitle them, because some of the inexperienced editors are are using it as a hit list, and nominating article on those lists for deletion without apparently even examining them.

Hi Eagle. I noticed your bot deleted a redirect named State Route 48 (Ohio) citing it as a redirect to a dead link Ohio State Route 48.

...My guinea pigs and the "A"s, "B"s and "C" having felt this message was OK to go forward with (or at least not complained bitterly to me about it :) ), today it's the turn of the "D"s, "E"s and "F"s! I'm hoping that more of you chaps/chapettes will point to their own criteria instead of mine :)... it's flattering but a bit scary! :) ++Lar: t/c 18:06, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Assistance Please

We are quite concerned that you have implied on Wiki that SkiMall.net and the Telluride Official Guide are not legitmate businesses. We take this libel very seriously.

The spamming you refer to was reported by your editor Gustav Ryerson for personal reasons in the Telluride community.

SkiMall.net employees testified against him in a Felony Assault Court Case which resulted in Mr. Ryerson being sentenced to 5 years in a Colorado State Prison.

We have been in business since 1998 and are a legitimate business - Telluride Business License #13041.

We are not interested in being on your site in any way shape or form. Please remove all links, all mention and all commentary in reference to SkiMall.Net and/or the TellurideOfficialGuide.org immediatly from Wiki.org.

Thank you very much Sincerely Elizabeth Heirich CIO@SkiMall.Net cc.legaldepartment@skimall.net

David Hicks allegations

Hi, a fellow editor on David Hicks feels and is editing on the basis that newspapers just include "alleged" to save themselves from legal action and that on WP we don't need to follow their example. I have now run up to 3Reverts (which you or a fellow admin says is too many on David Hicks). I have begun discusion with the editor and they did provide another source in the article. Unfortunately the new source provides no mention of the "allegations" in question. I have posted this to User talk:Gnangarra and User talk:Eagle 101. SmithBlue (talk) 02:36, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Spam channels and spam-search

Hey Eagle, long time no see. I was wondering if you could drop by in the spam-channels on IRC some time, since Shadow left we have some .. accessibility problems, and I believe you are a channel-operator (IIRC). Secondly, there seems to be a problem with the spam-archive search, could you have a look at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#spam_Archive_Search? Cheers, and hope to see you around! --Beetstra (public) (Dirk Beetstra^{T C} on public computers) 12:32, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

BLP lists

Are your BLP lists manually or bot maintained? I moved Felix Bloch (alleged spy) to Felix Bloch (diplomatic officer) per BLP concerns, but I'm not 100% satisfied with its status yet. - Revolving Bugbear 22:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Crosswiki Linksearch

Hey Eagle101,

Just wanted to say thanks, I have been using your Crosswiki Linksearch tool for the past few days; it's so handy!

:)

Not sure how it can be accessed via the main WikiMedia Toolserver page though? Couldn't find you/it listed...anyway, glad I came across it.

Cheers!
