User talk:Andypandy.UK/Archive 5



Thanks for the words...
Thanks for the words about my uncivil archive. I only move over un-constructive comments related to AfD discussions. The rest of the discussions on my talk page stay there - I like connecting with people here - most are very friendly and positive. I assume your comments come from the mediation request put in about me.--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 00:25, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well feel free to stick your nose in anytime... ;-)--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 00:29, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Re:Good Image Tagging
I been trying to clean up that mess of RuneScape images.-- Andeh 09:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Excuse me? Mess is not the word for that. They are all useful image, but there are a few too many. So we need to delete some for RuneScape's chances of being a featured article. J.J.Sagnella 09:10, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well too many have been uploaded then not used, then forgotten about. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Andypandy.UK (talk • contribs).
 * I'm still upset with how you've described them. People have put a lot of work in them, and at the very least you can tag/delete them civilly. Resolving to calling them "a mess" is not acceptable from anyone, let alone someone trying to be an adminstrator. J.J.Sagnella 09:27, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

Regarding the article Image:HOUSE OF CARDS DISC2-30(2).jpg, which you tagged for speedy deletion with the reason "This image is a redundant (all pixels the same or scaled down) copy of Image:HOUSE OF CARDS DISC2-30(2).jpg, which is on Wikipedia (not Commons), and all inward links have been updated", I wanted you to know that I have removed the speedy deletion tag. This article does not qualify for speedy deletion because the image is not scaled down or duplicate, it is larger. If you still want the article to be deleted, please use the WP:IFD process. Thanks! Stifle (talk) 22:37, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

The above three clearly indicates a problem with her understanding policy. Given the recent nature of these problems. I feel she is unqualifed for adminship. --Masssiveego 05:45, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

"Advertising is not a speedy criterion.

Hi there.

Advertising and spam is not a speedy deletion category. (I tried to make it so once, but it hasn't gotten enough support.) Please use prod if something you want deleted doesn't fall under one of the established WP:CSD categories. Thanks. Grandmasterka 03:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah, OK. I've used it a lot before and admins have deleted the pages. Thanks for telling me though. I have copied this on both my and your usertalk. Regards, --Alphachimp talk 03:50, 21 June 2006 (UTC)"

why are you removing wikilinks and wikidates?

Why are you removing wikilinks and wikidates? If this is part of some new policy initiative why doesn't your edit summary point to the policy? -- Geo Swan 20:11, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Could you point me to an example? I've been removing links that are repeated on the page.--Alphachimp talk 20:16, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Here. I believe it would always be a mistake to unlike wikidates, because the wikipedia counts on dates being in the wikidate format in order to allow readers to choose their preferred format for date presentation.

Further explanation to follow. -- Geo Swan 20:26, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah, OK the date. Yeah that was the only article in which I changed the format of the date. What's the correct format (I couldn't find anything by searching.). --Alphachimp talk 21:04, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Correct format is February 15, 2000, but only when month, day and year are all present. Otherwise do not wikilink years on their own, unless there is a special reason to do so. Full details can be found here. You might find some useful pages also that I've linked from my user page. Best Tyrenius 01:49, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

OK. What is the appropriate policy for repeated date links? For instance, if I have February 15, 2000, should the next one be February 15, 2000 because of redudancy? Regards, --Alphachimp talk 06:54, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

You always use the wikilink as shown for month, day, year, no matter how many times it's present. This is because the purpose of doing so is not actually to link to something, but to enable people to set their preferences so that the date is displayed in the format they choose. (You can do this in your preferences settings - try it out.) There has been discussion somewhere that this is confusing (as you've found), and then incorrectly encourages people to wikilink partial dates—such as just the year—as a matter of course, which should not be done. Then someone, like User:Rich Farmbrough has to go round de-linking them as here [3]. I hope this is clear, but get back to me if you wish. Tyrenius 14:40, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

That's really interesting. I didn't realize that. Perhaps somebody should contact the developers of AWB, because all dates are flagging as repeated links. Regards, --Alphachimp talk 14:44, 23 June 2006 (UTC)"

Thanks for reverting my user page. I think these last two, this morning, are the 8th and 9th this week. I can't decide if I'm doing something right or if I should stock up on canned goods. :-) Thanks again - Baseball,Baby!   balls  •  strikes  08:33, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Wow - I appreciate the offer, but I'm way too new, plus I'm still learning. Maybe in a couple of months. I've thought about it a little; I want it to go through if/when I'm nominated, and I've seen and voted enough at RfA to know that it's too soon. I'm trying to toughen up my fragile skin by participating in CVU and as many debates/discussions as I can, but I'm not tough enough yet to submit to RfA - too brutal. I have figured out, though, that there are some who have admin standards that Superman couldn't meet, and that helps a bit. ;-) Baseball,Baby!   balls  •  strikes  09:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Yep. It's not so much time wasting as it is a primal desire for self-preservation.


 * A minute ago I read something (while slogging through the Kelly Martin/College Football Fair Use Nuclear Meltdown of 2006) from one of the regular RfA voters, complaining about how RfA is like the Spanish Inquisition lately. (The Spanish Inquisition?The SPANISH INQUISITION?!? :-D) I worry about this, not just here but in real life too. It's like you're not allowed to make any mistakes anymore, at any time. I made a couple of whoppers when I first started doing RC patrol because I hadn't yet grasped what vandalism is and isn't, and I know those are going to be spotlighted at my RfA - and that's fine, really, because the work of admin candidates should be examined. But good grief, nobody's perfect. The important thing is that the experience makes you better and you come away with more knowledge than you had before that episode. That's not the thinking at RfA right now - some people want perfection, and it's a pack mentality that I even bought into myself for a while. I've changed my RfA 'standards' to 'do I trust the user?' and not much more, because that's the heart of the matter. (Sigh.) Thanks, dear - I appreciate it. (Yep, I'm a girl. Just one who loves baseball.:-) - Baseball,Baby!   balls  •  strikes  10:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

AP.Bot - userboxes
AP,

Given this edit, and others like it, I'd like to know if you are ignoring links. I consider such a "repair" incomplete, since it will leave a red link as soon as Cyde deletes the original template. Rfrisbietalk 14:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you mean. Do you intend to finish the job or not? Rfrisbietalk 15:05, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

You wrote No, the ignore box isn't ticked. I have under the Find column.-- Andeh 15:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Not sure what you mean either. :S -- Andeh 15:09, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Do you intend to modify your bot so that it empties "What links here"? That means transclusions and links.

Please reply on this page. Rfrisbietalk 15:18, 14 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, but AWB skips pages where it doesn't replace anything, for whatever reason.-- Andeh 15:20, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

All you have to do is add more find and replace criteria something like these. I don't add brackets for more hits, but you might want to add them to a bot for fewer false positives.

Rfrisbietalk 15:28, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah, OK. That is the reason why I have the account on trial. I will keep that table for refences.-- Andeh 15:33, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Cool. It took me a few hundred tries (and messages from others) to work those out. Keep up the good work!

Rfrisbietalk 15:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Are you sure the table is correct? top looks wrong, shouldn't it be User:Rfrisbie/Userbox/ instead of User:Rfrisbie/Userbox/ ?-- Andeh 15:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No, that actually works, but it really wouldn't change anything to include the curly brackets on both sides. You'll just replace something that's already there, e.g.,
 * tl|User  &rarr; User:Rfrisbie/Userbox/ works like
 * User  &rarr;
 * Rfrisbietalk 15:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * p.s. More to your point actually, the "" and "" make the original blue link keep working. Rfrisbietalk 15:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not convinced all those replacement rules are 100% safe. If someone has very similar text then that'll probably get replaced too.-- Andeh 16:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * That's why I suggested you include curly brackets for a bot. Your biggest problem probably will be to get the Babel box links that use pipes while ignoring regular link pipes. At the very least, please add the standard directory fix,
 * User  &rarr; so that all the userspace directories are updated properly. Thanks. Rfrisbietalk 16:19, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I see you still haven't made the adjustment.  Please fix ... Rfrisbietalk 16:27, 14 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Done, I can always go through them again anyway.-- Andeh 16:34, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks!

Rfrisbietalk 16:37, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You really should think about opening a bot account with all the userbox moving/replacing you do.-- Andeh 16:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Either that or retire. ;-) Rfrisbietalk 16:40, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Kpjas' RFA
Hi Andeh!

On Kpjas' RFA, you have voted oppose based on his apparent lack of experience, ("You say you want to tackle vandalism yet I see no evidence of vandal fighting already. You have been here since 2001, have less than 100 user talk edits, and less than 200 WP edits"). In fact, Kpjas is already an admin on the Polish Wikipedia, and has 37,000 edits there, including 2,600 to WP space over there. You have opposed based on inexperience, and lack of vandal-fighting but these facts clearly indicate plenty of experience in the required areas. Andeh, you want an experienced editor for admin. Kpjas is clearly experienced. Without badgering you, I urge you to reconsider your vote in this particular RfA. Happy editing! :) -- Firsfron of Ronchester 23:37, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Andeh,
 * Thanks for your note. Kpjas' English seems just fine to me, here, for example. You can dig thru his contribs, but I haven't found anything indicating his English is poor: quite the opposite, in fact. Anyway, I'm just responding to your English concern, and really not trying to badger you. I'll leave you be. :) -- Firsfron of Ronchester 23:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it must be, like, 1 AM there (I'm guessing). Go to bed! :) (Although I'm a bit of a night owl myself...)-- Firsfron of Ronchester 00:18, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I have prodded a few people I thought would be reasonable and reconsider their positions. I didn't bother with a few names I felt wouldn't change their opinions, or those who opposed for other reasons. I just thought the truth about Kpjas' experience and background should come out. I seriously don't know why his background wasn't put into the original nomination, but he deserves for all the facts to be laid out: he's definitely got experience. BTW, I love that owl on your userpage. Really cool. :) -- Firsfron of Ronchester 00:27, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Hey, you can't delete talk like that! I can assure you there is no objection to your comments, you are perfectly entitled to make them, and they raise valid concerns, so there is no need to worry. Certainly POINT didn't enter my head, nor I think anyone else's. I simply want the candidate to be judged on merit, and you should feel free to make whatever decision you wish.


 * The talk needs to be replaced as a record of the AfD, and also so that other editors can take it into account if they wish. It can either be replaced exactly as it was, or if you wish to withdraw from the discussion per your edit summary, simply put before your neutral comment and after it. This is entirely your choice, and I would not wish to influence it one way or the other.


 * Tyrenius 22:24, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Your comments have to stay as well. See CrazyRussian's comments. He changed his mind, but had to leave his comments and strike them out. That is what you have to do, if you withdraw your comments. However, I would like to point out that it is not a question of being "wrong". You have seen something which you feel is important and it is your right to state this. This is a free debate. Other people may well have raised it if you didn't. They have doubtless read it and are satisfied with Runcorn's response. Thus it has served a useful function.

If you really want to remove your comments, then they will all have to be struck through, but I can't see any real reason for doing that. That is your choice though. Alternatively, you can strike through any particular comments that you wish to withdraw. Or you can just strike through your "neutral" if you wish to opt out of giving a fixed opinion.

 * I'm sorry, but the comments have to stay. It is not fair on other participants for a start, as they will have read those comments before making a decision, so it shows what they have taken into account. Also Runcorn's comments without yours don't show why he is making them. I have withdrawn your neutral and stated "Editor withdrawn" as you don't seem to want to state a position. If this is incorrect, let me know and I will reinstate you as "neutral". If you wish to have your other comments struck through you can do this, or leave a message for me and I'll do it for you. Or you can add a statement about your present position on this RfA.
