 * Rawr. Since this user filed a 3RR complaint against me a week ago which was deemed no violation since I stopped myself at 3 and even said in an edit summary that it was 3 and I'd revert no more; and at vandalism today where it was removed in a record 3 minutes as essentially a hoax, I'm not terribly concerned.

Penguin extremists
Thanks for the much-needed injection of humor. --TS 11:30, 12 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Hah, you're welcome. I think my general logic was... climate research? Antarctica is inhabited and one of but a few places that does research all year! What could happen there that wouldn't be depressing? Penguins! Though I admit it's been done before, if you want to get extra picky. You just know that the "tyrant" in command of Westarctica has WMD sitting around somewhere and has been waiting for the correct moment to send in the Penguins to rout the scientists away. My prediction is that the US would find a way to get involved in an occupation for a decade despite the continent not being populated and no US land claim there. My money is on the penguins.

 * The material has clearly been moved there from other pages - so it is an archive. No proper process for puppet investigations has ever been followed.  The so called "socks" are a husband and wife, each using their own single accounts. This accusation of socks has come up before.  Here are the discussions   which led to a rapid indef blocking of both their accounts - even though they didn't edit the same pages and neither one has had a 3RR or block in the past year. The discussions to block these users involve William Connolley who is referenced in the articles and postings concerned from WP:RS CBSNEWS.  So he is clearly WP:COI to be encouraging this indef blocking.  Proper procedure has not been followed at all.

 * Erm, it was gone 2+ full days ago, and I have no idea what's happened to the situation since. I think it was there for all of a half hour? You'll see I'd gotten this message above and had fixed it in <5 minutes, and even if I disliked the request I dislike the WP:WW even below admin levels. It was as a matter of technical process, looking over or to see if it was mentioned at other noticeboards. I saw the mentions on this and had no problem taking it off. I never said I found it to be saintly or anything, and I'd been miffed for an hour about the "quotations" page especially after none seemed to have ever existed. Oh jeez, you just reminded me that I ran a wikistalk run to compare contributions of 4-5 usernames suspicious of edits in certain places with styles or convenient dating. Part of my check was no SPI cases, so then I figured I'd start one given that some of the user subpages were copy-pasted from elsewhere. Suppose I should go back to that.

Re: ANI-comment
Sorry for the delay in responding. Part of it was because of Real Life(tm) chores -- like assembling some Ikea furniture for my wife -- & part of it was because I needed to think through my response.
 * If you think AN/I is a catch-all for all kinds of incidents now, it was much worse even a year ago. And it doesn't help that every kook who gets the door closed on them comes either there to complain that they've been wronged, or to User talk:Jimbo Wales.
 * You may want to branch out from the Wikipedia namespace -- even if to simply do wikignoming. As another long-time Wikipedian once put it, WP:AN/I it where one goes to see a series of autowrecks. And most of the cases that reach WP:AN/I have gotten to the point where there are no simple solution; it's the last stop for disputes before they come before the ArbCom.
 * If you can't stay away from the Wikipedia namespace, you may want to study the contributions of a guy by the name of . I've met him face-to-face: he's a nice, patient guy who specializes in trying to mediate disputes, & has a certain measure of success with it.
 * Don't think you haven't been noticed. I noticed you: I honestly thought you were an admin until I took a look at your edit history & user permissions.
 * And lastly, yes a lot of effort put into WP:AN/I doesn't get rewarded, let alone appreciated. But it's not only at AN/I; a lot of contributions to Wikipedia -- good & important ones -- don't get the attention they deserve, & it costs the project in attrition of good people. If you let it get to you, you'll eventually grow bitter, burnout, & do stupid things like what happened in that WP:AN/I thread. That's not a fun way to end one's career here. -- llywrch (talk) 06:06, 14 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I have to chime in here as I saw your comment to llywrch. I actually started WP:AN (not ANI, but I was strongly supportive). I totally agree with him - it might be worthwhile doing some Wikignoming - it's enjoyable and far more productive than arguing on ANI. Certainly it's less stressful! Plus it contributes to Wikipedia as an encyclopedia :-) Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 10:01, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Golden idols
Hello Datheisen. I saw your comment at ANI, which wikilinked this phrase. Our article on that topic seems to have no appropriate sense. What did you have in mind? EdJohnston (talk) 18:14, 14 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Forgot about disambiguation! I would never in a million years thought it'd be pulled apart so much with the heavy historical meaning among them. I meant it in a biblical sense or "Indiana Jones Style"; stemming from the ten commandmends that one should not worship false idols (even if they look pretty) I believe they had cows made of solid gold. Meant to agree in general consensus with many opinions being expressed that it's quite inappropriate to push an agenda with two "idols" like that on Wikipedia (or anywhere). I AGF on the editor insisting upon that point, but it's not a good position to put innocent children in, regardless. I'm apt to some hyperbole to express a wider concept on a "big picture" scale as a conversation stales or gets repetitious and like the thought of readers saying "Oooooh" to themselves at the comparison instead of groaning constantly at an ANI. One argument mentioned at some point in the conversation was "it's just that she has 2 kids", and that it looked harmless to someone be it readers or editors means nothing and any sort of BLP, defamation or controversial matters and has to be taken as seriously as, say, the mess that has been BLP as of late, which is the only reason how it tied in there. ...I just really didn't want to think of how many cases like that there are sitting around. Any person or thing being sold off as defining a controversial topic? Idol, or "posterchild" or internet fab would be what we have today. From an outside view, it's a harmless inclusion that could easily have "fallen through" patrols had it not been so astutely noticed. ...As for the debate after that point, I'm not going to touch it.


 * You'll see I made a total fool out of myself trying a defined "walk away" and pretty basic civility reminders, but it was shooting myself in the foot. It became clear no consensus was going to form within that thread and it could be taken to more appropriate forums... or from the ANI perspective I'd rather the direct confrontation stop.Usually a mention of "next time would either of you feel silly if you ended up with any kind of block over ((whatever))?" works fairly well... or at the very least, I find those I've found a few at RfC instead of more ANIs or blocks in logs since I usually check on persons I was worried about in the few days following any ANI. I'm too ashamed to see what happened in this case after the apparently-ridiculous "just leave on equal terms" idea. ♪ daTheisen(talk) 22:02, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Regarding the ANI discussion I removed
I had removed the section I created because no one responded to it, but I guess I could keep it a bit longer and see if anybody wants to make a response. Momo san Gespräch 06:49, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * If left for however long, it will automatically fall through on its own, though I'm not sure if it'll clear it out if there are no responses-- it clears itself from the page. If you get no replies it might be a case that persons don't consider it right to be at ANI. I haven't looked in detail and I can't help all that much, and I figured something like this was the case and why I'd never in a million years call it anything but a good faith action. You might want it left there anyway, since in the future you could point to it as saying you reported an ANI but had no reply. You can also add a reply within your own thread at the 24hr-or-so window before a bot comes through for possible cleanup. Sorry about this, but I'm not particularly sure it'd look good in the log if anything from the ANI log was removed, even with this perfectly reasonable rationale.

ANI
Hi Datheisen, appreciate your comments on ANI, it's actually very complicated to figure out, there is alot of discussion on the talk page, and the article should remain stable until things are decided on there. Reading through it should enable you to figure out what the various editors' positions are, which should help with understanding any edits that were made before. Regards. Izzedine 09:27, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It's all... a giant mess, that much I can tell. The sources listed in the ANI? I'm not going to deny that's about the most high-quality sources you could ever come up with. Since those are of such quality, "in theory" they should get a good deal of weight in an article discussion, which is kind of what I was assuming. ANI is for sorting out procedural matters and policy violations, and hopefully none of this has to go into that in the future. No one wants to be blocked over things like this and that's usually something I can get most people to agree to... thus I had to call the oddities in behaviour as reported and general stubbornness by everyone involved-- period. Content disputes aren't for ANI so that's all I can suggest there. I know virtually every topic out of the middle east/southwest asia/ancient iraq/iraq/whatever you want to call it can be heated, but remember that Wikipedia has no time limit and if you have the position with sources and weight to back yourself up, things will start to turn. In 90% of these cases someone slips up heavily on civility and does something blatantly out of line, or up and violate 3RR, or expose by mistake they have a sock, etc., which kind of makes all of the discussion before then moot. If you aren't that person, then you don't have anything to worry about, and that good faith will be noticed in case there's later dispute resolution.
 * I certainly hope I don't find a list of the lot of you on any large disputes in the future! imo there is some middle ground with some rewording or additions that point of different definitions, perhaps. If anyone involved on the page is going to simply demand one view or one narrowed opinion only, it'll never get anywhere. Good luck. ♪ daTheisen(talk) 13:37, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

I should probably get the motivation to stop complaining and start :) . Seriously though, thanks for grabbing that stuff. You definitely improved it.Cptnono (talk) 03:40, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * "Improved" is always a sadly ironic word when the article is 30% smaller after edits. I have absolutely zero-tolerance to any sort of corporate promotional gibberish or unsourced BLP information and think it's safest to slice out whatever is remotely worrying with total confidence. Since the article has gone idle for the better part of 2 days now, it seems people are content while waiting for the rename? Should probably get admin approval given it's been previous deleted... I explained in my !vote on the talkpage. In all honesty? The whole "TV gold rush" I find a bit humorous and ethically questionable at times and with this company the de facto center, but I'm actually excited about trying to piece together what an article on what's now a rather infamous firm... but in total neutrality. If things are done correctly, the result will be complete and total disappoint for readers who were hoping for something scandalous after a google search and their running into an actually encyclopedic article instead.
 * I'll have my eye out on the article, certainly. Just to say, in case you were wondering-- I found your template-adding edit in a random Huggle RCP check... total fluke. Recognized the name and figured it might be bad. I'm was pleasantly surprised to see content enough appropriate for a starter article even after slicing away the questionable stuff... then again the author is clearly an experienced article contributor so I'd expect nothing less. I deal more on the "pick up the pieces" or "pull the plug" troubles in articles usually... my edit history has its highest count at ANI I only recently noticed. Guilty pleasure.

Community de-Adminship - finalization poll for the CDA proposal
After tolling up the votes in the revision proposals, it emerged that 5.4 had the most support, but elements of that support remained unclear, and various comments throughout the polls needed consideration.

A finalisation poll (intended, if possible, to be one last poll before finalising the CDA proposal) has been run to;


 * gather opinion on the 'consensus margin' (what percentages, if any, have the most support) and


 * ascertain whether there is support for a 'two-phase' poll at the eventual RfC (not far off now), where CDA will finally be put to the community. Matt Lewis (talk) 01:03, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Nice to meet you :)
Hello Datheisen. My name is Ikip. I have been editing Wikipedia since October 2005. I have been a member of WP:Article Rescue Squadron since mid 2008. I helped create WP:Incubator I also strongly support, Petition_against_IAR_abuse here have a template I created, a small token of appreciation for your work:

In fact, I am probably the most vocal critic of the 320 deletions 3 days ago. I appreciate you comments on BLP. Thanks. Ikip 09:35, 24 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I meant no specific offense, blah, though I admit my brain is fuzzy as hell on this all by now. Concerns were regarding just actions in general to promote drama and not to rib an option that I entirely agreed to in the RfC and I've been nagging about endlessly for a few months since NEWT. IAR suggests bettering the encyclopedia, and however much unsourced BLPs might do harm in some cases and mass deletion also causes harm, community sanity is a concern for now as well. I do completely admit that's a really sad to say. Frankly, I hope whatever "ends" this all includes a clause permitting incubation particularly for new BLPs accidentally in violation and that whatever BLPprod/etc process be done very slowly so things can be rescued properly.
 * Most hopes on that for me came from NEWT and knowing that alone would almost completely eliminate all troubles with A7 and I'm still grumpy nothing ever came of the proposals back then. ...Um, in other words, I at least think we're on the same team. IAR is welcomed and I wouldn't object to movement of things like this if, say, a new policy were in place and something was nearing whatever time scale but still looked 100% savable, since it'll be hard for all articles to be improved with even a week's warning... even if it's over the course of a few months, without some hundreds of editors helping. I plan to be there trying to stub-ify the unsourced with something, at the very least and I've dragged stuff out of the CSD grave before.

Psychology 101 as it relates to Requests for comment/Biographies of living people

 * Please see: Requests_for_comment/Biographies_of_living_people

As other editors have pointed out, there has been several intentional moves in this request for comment:
 * 1) Arguing that change is inevitable. The most vocal editor in this is arbitrator SirFozzie which had 17 opposes and 14 approves. Change is never inevitable.
 * 2) In closing Phase I,  only one position is advocated, marginalizing or ignoring all other positions.
 * 3) Repeated attempts to silence editors, particularly me. See Arbitration/Requests and An
 * 4) Attrition, having the argument drag out so long, and editors get so tired of the discussion, that editors will either:
 * drop out of the discussion, or
 * accept a proposal which if originally proposed, would get wide spread opposition. Balloonman's proposal is very similar to Jerochman's proposal.

The end result is that editors who support radical, disruptive change, control the conversation, and less involved editors think that they only have a narrow list of choices, and !vote to accept bitey proposals which will only further hurt wikipedia growth and bite newcomers. Compromise means that both sides give up something.

I would possibly support this proposal if it includes strong WP:BEFORE language, to help protect new editors contributions, as the Requests for comment/Biographies of living people proposal, which has 19 supports, advocates.

I would strongly encourage you to reconsider your position on this important proposal. Okip  12:33, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Aah, I remember that article, and frankly I'm surprised the discussion wasn't allowed to run on longer. First off, try have a list of things you know you could improve ASAP so the article will be in better shape as soon as it might be restored and wouldn't be subject to deletion again in the near future. After that, for an undelete, head on over to deletion review and give them pretty much the same questions you gave me but so specifically say you can address the previous concerns. ((As a non-administrator I cannot look at the deleted page, and for that I apologize, but)) If I recall and as I wrote there, the largest concerns were a need to demonstrate general notability as we define it on Wikipedia. To back that up, we most always need to have outside parties having information published that offer a completely outside view and offer individual opinions without using information from the company's website or press releases and the like. Check over here about the kinds of good examples (and not-so-good) examples we look for.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
