Interact with me[edit]

This page is a documentation of some of the beautify interactions I have had with other users on WP. The essence is to show that criticisms should not always always get us down but rather should bring out the best in us.

Hi. Just letting you we just had an edit conflict at assigning perms for autopatrolled. I was about to add this:

  •  Not done Excellent contributions, but recent pages such as this, copyright, recent deletions, and issues with your own New Page Patrolling, seem to show that you are still not fully confident with policy for new articles. Please consider reapplying when you have at least 3 months warn-free on your talk page. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:08, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
I did see some questionable stuff from a few months ago but I figured he'd grown himself out of it by now. I was going to give him the benefit of the doubt, but now I'm having second thoughts; autopatrolled is really for candidates who have shown they can "get it right the first time." Since he likely hasn't seen it yet, feel free to reverse my decision (you can delete what I posted, with a link here in the edit summary) and then remove autopatrolled.

Done; It's a shame, because he generally produces some good stuff although even there, there are some unreferenced stubs. The main issue is that he has been warned recently about his own NPP to the point of being threatened with a block. It's counter productive to accord autpat rights if pages still slip through the net. There are going to be more issues too now that requests for rights are being submitted by bots. I was totally against it. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:43, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks both of you. I believe that our presence on WP is not for ourselves but for the greater good of the millions of people who turn to Wikipedia for their references. I admit that I had problems initially (eg. the block issue), but I have grown since then as my recent works have all made it to DYK page. And though I would not contest your decisions, I hope it will not have to be a wait of 3 months. Again for the article in question, I have not even seen it yet. I promise to work on it. Thanks once again. CrossTempleJay  talk 10:51, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

CrossTempleJay, feel free to make a new request directly to Feezo or me when you think you are ready, and don't hesitate to ask for help anytime. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:02, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

I am always happy to get such responses from people. In Ghana there is a proverb that say "no one head carries all knowledge" I will gladly learn whenever I go wrong. I will polish up and come back again soon. Thanks once again. I'm very grateful. CrossTempleJay  talk 11:08, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
Hello, I'm glad you've joined the discussion directly, and your attitude about this is more than I could have hoped for. I'm sure you won't have to wait three months. If you address Kudpung's specific concerns, I see no reason you shouldn't be able to get it back very soon. I'm sorry for my initial mis-assessment, since you're such a prolific content creator, and that's exactly what Wikipedia needs more of. I personally would feel comfortable re-evaluating your contribution history in a few days, and granting autopatroller then, with Kudpung's assent. Of course, you can also ask him yourself. Best of luck! Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 11:23, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

BTW: I've replied on my tp about the bot saga.

Thank you very much Feezo. I appreciate it all. I have already addressed Kudpung's and I'm looking at building the Shama (Ghana parliament constituency) as well as other articles that I wrote in its era. I believe at that time I was still a child on WP and they may need some editing as well. Thanks very much Feezo and Kudpung too. Will ask for the right again in a few days if that will be alright. Thanks once again.  CrossTempleJay  talk 12:26, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
