Rollback question
Hello. I have found your user-page because you are an administrator who grants rollback privileges. I am performing academic research and I am particularly focused on usage of the rollback feature. I have imported en-wiki dumps into MySQL for analysis, and flag RBs by parsing revision comments for the "automatic comment" left by RB edits.

My question: In February 2009 and the months preceding it, about 200k RBs were being performed a month. Beyond that, usage of the RB feature seems to decline sharply; in September 2009 I show only 1k RBs. Can you help me understand this? Did the automatic revision string change? Did the use of anti-vandalism bots (with their slightly altered RB strings (which I don't try to parse)) become so prevalent that no one does it 'manually' any more?

My current research has found no reason for this 200x change, and I hope you can help. Of course, your help will aid my research -- which in turn will help the Wikipedia community in combating vandalism. West.andrew.g (talk) 16:39, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Usurpation of my user page
Dear Bibliomaniac (usurper), it was uncalled-for to invade my user page and move its content to something called "User: Johann Nepomuk (usurped)". As a result, I am unable to reach all those pages that I have written or contributed to. Why don't you use your powers for better things, for instance to undo the damage you have done.

Requests for adminship/Mikaey 2
Hello Bibliomaniac15. Firstly, I'd like to say that I've avoided (until now) all Peter Damian-related issues, but don't agree with him getting to !vote or with his intent. But indenting other user's !votes without providing any reason should not be done, I know it's annoying, but his votes count for absolutely naught. Because they are votes, and RfA is a discussion. The candidate is ignoring it, I'd hope that !voters would follow the example of the user they hope will become an admin :D. Remember: Do not strike out or delete the comments of other editors without their permission. Please reconsider your strike. That said, I'm definitely not going to edit war over this, or even remove your strike in the first place. Hopefully we can all just ignore Peter's comments (which the exception of the 'crats). Thanks - Kingpin13 (talk) 21:37, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree the vote is completely off, and shouldn't be there, but that doesn't mean I think users other than Peter should remove it (it makes it look like he himself has struck it). I just disagree with everybody talking about this at ~3 different places, each one getting so big that no sense can be made of it, and then ignoring it and individual users start reverting each other, blocking, unblocking etc. Sure, if you want to show that his vote has been disregarded before the RfA is closed then okay, same result. But more aggravating for Peter. I can see what you're saying about it being unfair for Mikaey, but he (should be able to and) seems to be fine. I really don't mind if the !vote is struck, but don't think that was the best way of doing it. - Kingpin13 (talk) 22:20, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Aye, I can see just where you're coming from. But I would suggest at least placing a note underneath the struck vote, saying that it was you who struck it. - Kingpin13 (talk) 22:31, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No not at all, no such thing as bad publicity ;D. And it would be a pretty long comment if you made it underneath the vote :). Thanks for your points, you've given me some thoughts to chew on. - Kingpin13 (talk) 22:38, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Have you seen...
...a newish essay around here called WP:TYFYV - Thank you for your vote? I wrote it recently, on the heels of the DougsTech affair. I wonder if anything in there might be applicable to the Peter Damian situation. -GTBacchus(talk) 02:39, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply. You clearly know more than I about the particulars of this situation, so I defer to your judgment. I only hope that the argument:
 * "If, in a perfect Wikipedian society, we would all thank him for his oppose and choke him off. But seeing as the community has much division on this point, and probably wouldn't humble themselves to do so, I feel that the only way to end this is to be firm against the oppose in question."
 * ...will not be applied uniformly to such cases. Doing so would seem to rob the community of an opportunity to improve our handling of this kind of situation. -GTBacchus(talk) 18:56, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Your striking of Peter Damian's oppose was reverted

Need some help
Hey,

I have a favour to ask of you. I'm trying to create the unified login, but someone has already created a login on English Wiki, the same, as I have on my home Wiki - Polish. My login is Flack. Looking here someone has created an account 4 years ago and has got only 6 editions. And here is my ask: can you change the name of this account "Flack" on English Wiki, so I can attach that login to my unified login? Thanks in advance. You can answer me here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.190.37.12 (talk) 22:13, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay. I didn't know about those his GFDL edits. Anyway, if there will be any problem with renaming that account, do not trouble yourself more, it isn't so much important.--81.190.37.12 (talk) 23:33, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Sari (female garment)
I'm undeleting your deletion of this redirect, since it triggered redlinks in a few hundred pages. I'm not sure what the move/rename situation is of Sari vs Sari (female garment), but the given rationale (that (female garment) links might have been intended for a different "sari" meaning) doesn't make sense. I had already declined the speedy from the same user on this same grounds. DMacks (talk) 00:24, 15 July 2009 (UTC) The move he was trying to accomplish also appears undiscussed and against consensus at Talk:Sari. DMacks (talk) 00:39, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Help with Chelidae turtles.
I am interested in fixing a lot of the issues with the Chelidae, I am a taxonomist in the field having described 5 of the species. In any case I want to make some serious repairs to the genus Rheodytes. In particular I wish to add a page for the genus itself at present the link on the Chelidae page redirects you to the species account for Rheodytes leukops. This is an issue as I wish to add in a page for the 2nd species Rheodytes devisi and hence want Chelidae --> Rheodytes --> Rheodytes leukops, Rheodytes devisi. I hope that diagram makes sense. Someone has set it up so the word Rheodytes links to the species account making the name Rheodytes unavailable as a unique name for a page. I was hoping you could tell me how to undo this.

After days of research I improved the American Pit Bull Terrier article. Whenever I contribute to this article a user named "HelloAnnyong" revert it. He falsely claims that I used copyrighted material. It wasn't my source but he always revert my text. So I ask a moderator to review the text. Maybe it's not all so good which I wrote but there I posted some very well documented information with veritable source like from OFA, UKC and "Colby's Book of the American Pit Bull Terrier" by By Louis B.

Hi, some time ago you courtesy-blanked a page. I unblanked it recently without much thinking. However this was escalated to AN/I. I am sorry I didn't ask for your explanations earlier, but I guess it is not too late for your input to AN/I. - Altenmann >t 19:43, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Request for rollback privileges
Hello! I'm interested in rollback mainly because reverting vandalism is a lot of what I do when I'm too busy to do major edits (most of the time!). Thanks for your help! PrincessofLlyr (talk) 00:19, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Ondine
Important! - Round up what few ballet enthusiasts you know on Wikipedia and get them to vote on the proposed merging of the Ondine articles that would see the article about Frederick Ashton's production of the actual ballet, being merged into one about the music.

Chris Benoit
It seems consensus has been reached. The lead of the article should read: "Christopher Michael Benoit (French pronunciation: [bəˈnwɑ]) (May 21, 1967 – c. June 24, 2007) was a Canadian professional wrestler who strangled his wife and son before hanging himself. . SO you are aware, it appears one poster, User:GaryColemanFan, is unwilling to budge and is being slightly disruptive. However, the remainder of posters seem for the change. It is time to at least open the article up for editing. Thanks. CraigMonroe (talk) 13:54, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't see that consensus has been reached. Two editors agreed on the version mentioned by CraigMonroe. I don't believe that is sufficient to conclusively state that someone is a murderer. GaryColemanFan (talk) 14:01, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It appears consensus has been reached. GaryColemanFanhas agreed to cease his arguments and accept the outcome. Would you please open the article for editing? Thanks. CraigMonroe (talk) 14:42, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Anon user you recently blocked
has taken it upon himself to start once again reverting without discussion immediately after coming off your recent one week block on that individual. He's been warned multiple times about this behaviour, but it does not seem to be sinking in. Could you please keep an eye on this person so we can avoid unwanted disruption?

Jagex semi-protection
Would you mind if I removed the Jagex semi-protection? It's been a few years and I will reinstate it immediately if the vandalism occurs again. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:04, 4 December 2009 (UTC)


 * No worries. There are plenty of long protected pages.  I just don't need to get chewed out over wheel warring. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:44, 4 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, I know, but last time I was unprotecting, I had a blow-up over a full protection done years back because of TWO edits. Some people LIVE for the bureaucracy.  -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:06, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

WP:ADMINCOACH
Hello Bibliomaniac. I'm in one sense, not entirely qualified for WP:ADMINCOACH as per the new critera. I really do agree with 'the supreme criteria' on User:Bibliomaniac15/Admin_coaching_plans. However, in this environment one needs much more than common sense to be an admin. I've just come back from a long editing break, due primarily to back surgery, and a malpractice suit. If you would take me as a coachee I would be greatful, but given the criteria, I'm unsure of my readiness. I have indeed read Administrators' reading list and Guide_to_requests_for_adminship. However my activity in I suppose "Adminish" areas hasn't been impressive. Additionally I have contributed much less to content than I would like to, but am having difficulties finding areas in which my knowledge is greater than the material already written on the page.

Take this as a request for coaching (provided you would be willing to), and if that is not possible a sort of review of what I should do in the future. I could file an editor review, but with the huge backlog, going directly to a trusted individual seems to be the best method of going about it.
