User talk:Dabomb87/Archive 24

Re:Question
Yes, I did welcome User:AcrossTheOcean to Wikipedia, but I don't have any direct connection with that user otherwise. I did realized that the account was just opened, so to be friendly, I added the Welcome template to their talk page. I guess that the user then went through my contributions, noticed that I had discussed on the List of Pearl Jam band member featured list candidates, and added their support after reading the article. That's my only guess. I do agree, that is suspicious, but I have nothing to do with it otherwise. Also, I wouldn't mind if that user's support was removed from the nomination, either.

I saw you accepted a revision on this one, then did some clean-up. I would say the revision is vandalism. It pastes back the July 9 version (8,155 bytes) once again, wiping out later changes. See the article history and talk page. The effect is to These two external sources are not solid, even though the assertion seems plausible. Jonathan Elendu is a pundit. Nigerian Village Square is just a public blogsite that runs a lot of attack articles from members. I think it is o.k. to quote Elundu pointing out that it is his opinion in the text, which the previous version did. But not the Village Square, never the Village Square. Take another look. Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 15:18, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Duplicate some basic bio information (you started to clean this up)
 * Remove a note, not sourced but probably true, on an honorary title
 * Add an external links section with bolded links to two derogatory articles
 * Sorry about that. I have reverted to a clean version without the links to the derogatory sites or the duplicated info. When I first saw the revision, I considered just reverting outright, but the edit appeared to be in good faith, so I accepted it and did some cleanup. I was not entirely sure about the ELs, but on further consideration I should have taken the safe route and commented them out. Let me know if there is anything else.

Caprice Bourret
Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Caprice Bourret's assitant and am acting on behalf of her in regards to correcting said information on her Wikipedia page. I have either edited information that is incorrect, such as stating that her birthplace is Whittier, California, or updated her information, such as with regards to the timeline for her lingerie line. All of this information can be correctly and legitimately sourced and referenced. If this correct editing continues to be rejected then Caprice will be involving her lawyers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bycapricelingerie (talk • contribs) 15:47, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Aberdeen Student Show
Received your brief note about this being nominated for 'did you know?' and that there might be some problem based on recent edits. Any chance of more specific pointers to what the flags might be? Many thanks Summerhill Loon (talk) 04:27, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, I see that the article has now been moved to the prep queue, so other editors may not have shared my opinion. Anyway, I think that the article contains too much trivial detail. To be honest, I think your past involvement with the show may have influenced your edits to the article; that is, you've attached more importance to certain aspects of the show than I would expect to read about in an encyclopedia article. For example, I find the origins of the "Student Show titles" too "crufty" to mention in an article, and much of it comes across as unverified original research (though it's probably true). Also, why do are there so many paragraphs about notable people who have participated in or directed the show? How does that aid understanding of the topic at all? Most of the material in the notable directors section isn't even about the students' roles in the show but about their other activities. This is just one person's opinion, so feel free to ignore it. However, if you do want my advice on how to improve the article, I would suggest trimming it significantly so it looks more like it does in this version. Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 13:20, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll discuss with the original author Solaricon, when he returns from vacation; and with and other contributors to the evolving / underlying much larger database. I think the intent here was to be quite comprehensive, and to indicate the importance of the Student Show to the culture, not only of the University, but of NE Scotland. To that end we felt the article should feature many more of the contributors than only the directors; also to illustrate that these have never been amateur productions put on by students for fun, but serious professional productions, produced by people who were already locally renowned, or became so later - with the Show being a starting point for many careers. But your points about this and other elements are much appreciated and well taken. Summerhill Loon (talk) 13:55, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Cheers. I apologize if I came across as brusque in my previous comment. I should mention that some of your edits were very good and improved the article quite a bit, such as the inclusion of the table. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:58, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

No need to apologize: didn't come across as brusque, and your comments are in the spirit of helping to improve it. I'll pull the original research content, and have asked my fellow contributors for help to better define its scope and content. I'm a little to close to it at this point. Cheers Summerhill Loon (talk) 14:12, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album
Hmm. Why was the FL nomination for Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album closed when only one person commented on it and no one opposed it. Shouldn't more time be given for reviews? I am certainly not questioning your decision to close the nomination, as I realize how familiar you are with the process, but I am simply wondering what the policy is when there has only been one review (and one where issues were resolved, at that). -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:33, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * It was a no consensus closure (see my comment at Featured list candidates/Closure log). Nearly three weeks had passed, and there were no supports. That's the worst way to see an FLC end, but content-review processes are chronically short of reviewers so I do have to make those closures periodically. Feel free to renominate in five or six days. In the meantime, perhaps you can review some FLCs yourself? Reviewer karma exists, I promise! Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 22:40, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply. Just trying to understand the process. I will be sure to re-nominate in the future, as I believe the list meets criteria. And you are absolutely right, for as much nominating as I do (I love generating FLs!) I need to offer more reviews or at least helpful comments. Thanks again for the reply, and thanks again generally speaking for all of the work you do at FLC and elsewhere. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:46, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Quick Question
Since I have withdrawn the FAC nomination (after all, I thought that was where to go to get articles critiqued, aside from the good article review), does that treat it as an unsuccessful FAC or can it still be nominated for peer review without the 14 day window? Had I realized peer review was there, I would have taken it there first before FAC or FLC - again, my first time trying to promote an article after doing little bits of editing here and there for a couple of years. =)

On a side note, I'm working with Frickative (who took a break on that one for about a month, according to the history) to get the article fixed up, so I will probably show a big interest in the peer review as well. I'll be in contact with her during and after the peer review before going to FLC. CycloneGU (talk) 15:39, 8 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't follow peer review closely; you may want to ask . Dabomb87 (talk) 15:49, 8 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Cheers. Will do.  CycloneGU (talk) 15:57, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey Dabomb, hope you're well. The above FLC appears to have stagnated under the weight of opposition comments, the nominee appears to have lost interest.

Lost under the strain of accessibility.
Hi there, You'll probably know me from the FL nomination for Kelly Rowland discography. You'll notice on that discussion that an experienced user with 'professional experience' in ICT has commented on how the discography as well as the entire MOS:DISCOG project is blatantly violating new accesibility and general usability guidelines. This discussion has opened in detail at the talk page for MOS:DISCOG but has since branched off too at User talk:Jack Merridew. The said user, one Jack Merridew, is proceeding to make significant changes to the article which in his view are better for accessibility and userbility. My main issue is that the article is quickly moving away from the standards set by other FL discographies e.g. Rihanna discography, Pink discography. It is slowly moving into a new standard of its own which I understand very little and I don't know what to do. I nominated and worked on the article but it appears to have been taken over and now I don't really know what part of MOS its working towards or based on. Perhaps its time that yourself and User:The Rambling Man also become involved in this and the generally wider discussion? If not at least some advice would be helpful. --Lil-unique1 (talk) 21:21, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * More discussion at User talk:Jack Merridew --Lil-unique1 (talk) 21:42, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * First thing that strikes me: why is WikiProject Discographies/style still marked as a "proposed" guideline? I've seen music editors left and right cite it as long-standing consensus, but it still has not been formally categorized as a style guideline. Anyway, I rather not get too involved, as I am no expert on web accessibility, and would prefer to stay neutral as I may have to close the FLC soon. I see that WP:ACCESS has been in flux (as some parts of the MOS tend to be frequently). With regard to the discography, I would advise you to go with local editorial consensus, and worry about conforming with the constantly changing guidelines when they stabilize. This same situation occurred with alternative text a few months ago, and many editors just gave up on alt text altogether because nobody could agree on how to write it correctly. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:08, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the response. So should I just conform to all the changes Jack is recommending even though I'm not sure where they are stemming from? If by local editorial consensus you mean MOS:DISCOG Jack has made it clear that if I was to do so I'd be breaking ALL MOS rules on wikipedia and he's made clear already that he's not adverse to reverting any edit of mine which trumps his understanding of MOS. So I'm confused as to where that leaves me and also as to where that leaves Kelly Rowland discography as, if I understood the comments/procedure correctly, is close to being passed? --Lil-unique1 (talk) 22:18, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * No, by "local editorial consensus" I was referring to editors who have been involved with this article, Kelly Rowland discography. For example, have you asked the editors who have already supported the FLC to comment on the accessibility issue? Dabomb87 (talk) 22:40, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

FLC nomination
Dabomb87, since you contributed to the article List of awards and nominations received by Up in the Air which is a child article to Up in the Air (film), I thought that you would like to know that JuneGloom07 Talk?, Courcelles (talk) and I nominated the article for FLC, cf Featured list candidates/List of accolades received by Up in the Air/archive1.

Hi

I am guessing that you either did not see or did not pay any attention to the GOCE tag at the top of the page and that is why I have just had the edit conflict ?

 * Finally, this really isn't being dealt with so perhaps you could look it over and decide if it should continue to run. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:52, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I often think a news ticker would be useful... I have noted the FLCs where you are "involved" and am waiting for existing reviews to finish up (or for new reviewers to opine) on those, seen and watchlisted the AfD and will comment there in due course, and commented on the WP:ACCESS issue (this RfD may also be of interest).

Hello, the Stephens City article is up for FAC and was reviewed by User:SandyGeorgia last night, apparently I had some reference problems (mostly italicizing incorrectly) but more importantly, prose problems.

 * Well, just let me know when you decide to give me the ax. People have told me about wiki and I have abstain myself from using a username because of a lack of interest. Now I know why.

 * Your knowledge of Wiki processes goes past the standard familiarity, though. Here's my advice, take it or leave it (if you truly are not SuperSonic/Jamen, which I truly doubt at this point, disregard this): take a long break from Wikipedia. Don't even try to get around your block though socking or other means. If you can show that you are willing to be patient and learn from your previous mistakes, there will be editors who will be willing to let you return.

List of Saw media
Hey. I was just wondering as to your reason for the closing the List of Saw media FLC. I am assuming it's because it was unedited for several days, which makes sense. However, I have corrected every single one of the commentor's complaints with the exception of a few things I have given select reasons and precedents for keeping. Therefore, I was wondering if you could take a look at the article from a non review standpoint and see if I have any reason to renominate? It would be greatly appreciated. If you feel there is substantial work to be done, I will take it over to Peer Review, although I haven't had any feedback on my previous PR for other articles. Ground Z3R0   002  06:23, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Considering you've now submitted the list three times to FLC, and it's been deemed not ready by each time, I would strongly advise you to go through some kind of peer review process first. Don't just slap the PR tag on the page and hope for a lot of good suggestions though; you need to actively seek out editors who can offer subject-specific advice. WikiProject Video Games is a large and active one, and if you look around I'm sure there will be plenty of users who would be happy to take a look (especially if you return the favor). Another good technique is to look at current video game FLs (see Featured lists) and look at their page histories to identify editors with similar interests. Good luck!

I've started the RFA here Requests for adminship/Dabomb87. I'll ping Sandy to work on her conomination statement. In the meantime, feel free to add your statement and begin answering the questions. Let me know if you think my statement needs to be tweaked. I questioned whether to bring up the date-delinking, but I am pretty sure it will be brought up by someone if not addressed early on. If you plan to use that as an answer to one of your questions, I may remove it from my statement.

Re: Your RfA question
I wasn't looking for a particular answer to the question, I was just curious to discover another editor's view on the subject. To be honest, if I had answered the question, my reply would have been pretty similar to yours. Perhaps Wikipedia should clarify its goal - to collate the sum of all useful human knowledge?

Hey
Getting away from the RfA (it's looking successful BTW, 170-2-1, so I offer a premature congrats!)...

Previously, when I nominated Glee (season 1) as an FA, we had a discussion on that page eventually delisting the nom. Frickative and I have both worked on the article since then through a peer review, and it's now under FLC following. A comment by Matthewedwards says the article might now qualify for FA with the recent changes. Frickative and I are currently considering whether to change the nomination back to FA, or proceed with FL first. While I won't ask you to do a full copy-edit (if you do, though, it's appreciated as well), would you mind taking a quick look and provide an opinion?

We've looked at a similar article that is already FA, which is Parks and Recreation (season 1) and the prose is a little smaller, but I am not entirely certain if it qualifies and wanted to ask someone more experienced. I've also asked a couple of the supporters from that review for opinions as well.

Your feedback is appreciated! CycloneGU (talk) 20:57, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! First, thanks for the early congrats. Second, the article is looking a lot better than when I first saw it at FAC. The line separating a season "list" from a season "article" is extremely fuzzy, and I won't pretend to know the exact difference. That said, compared to most TV season FLs, Glee (season 1) definitely looks more like an article at this point. I think the length of the production section, the inclusion of information about the music, and the depth of the reception section is enough to make it an article at this point. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:06, 20 August 2010 (UTC)


 * First, saw the reply before seeing the Talkback template. *LOL*


 * Second, thanks for the encouraging comments. I will wait for feedback from the others I've asked before we make any determinations, but if we decide to move it to FAC instead, can we move the nomination as it is or do we have to delist and start over again?  Also, should we let it finish FLC before moving to FAC?  CycloneGU (talk) 21:12, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * If you to go to FAC now, that's quite alright. I wouldn't change the current FLC into an FAC; it's always better to start with a clean page. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:14, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

RE: Featured list candidates/List of awards and nominations received by Drake/archive1
I'm guessing that rule came up when I was having my wikibreak. If it wasn't, then I must have never heard of this rule for some unexplained reason. I usually wait 10 days until my next FLC nomination, and supports usually come within those 10 days, so I thought nominating this list now would be a good idea. If I violated a rule, then it should be reserved, so I'm guessing holding off the nomination would be a good idea. Thanks for the notice! --<font face="Calibri"> K.

Thanks for trying to clean up at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship, but your fix to User:67.136.117.132's sig ironically obscures who wrote the comment, rather than clarifies. Anyone using popups who hovers over the original sig (as here) sees the information on his static (67. at work) user page that explains all, while after the fix all that the popups show is the blank user page for his dynamic (174. home) address. I guess that's why he arranges his sigs in that way. Hope that helps --RexxS (talk) 00:19, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Dabomb87 sorry for not siting my recent editing work I did on Supernatural Season 6 I got all my information from IMDB but just so you realize some of the current information you have on the Supernatural Season 6 that you reverted back to isn't right for one Jensen Ackles is currently only confirmed to have directed Episode 4 of Season 6 not Episode 5, an Robert Singer has only been confirmed to have directed Episode 3 of Season 6 not Episode 1 because Episode 1 will be directed by Phil Scigrcia, Episode 3 is also written by Ben Edlund. Also the Live Free Twi Hard Episode thats currently a working title for one of the episodes this season we just don't know which one yet.

 * Hi Pedro. I deleted your article because it did not demonstrate how the company is important or significant, as per our notability guidelines. Articles are considered "notable" if they receive significant mention in reliable third-party sources (such as major newspapers or peer-reviewed journals). If you would like to improve the article to meet Wikipedia standards for inclusion, I would be happy to restore the article to a page in your userspace (User:Pedro Tarrinho/JTSL), where you can improve the article to Wikipedia standards. Once you have done so, feel free to ask me or any other administrator to look at the article and decide whether the article can be moved back to the article space.

Stale?
I don't understand why you reached the consensus of stale regarding IP 86.7.134.158. He has repetitively added unsourced material to the pages. I've made personal comments about it on his page on WHY he should add sources, gave him warning, reverted his edits with an edit summary stating that you need sources, and maybe more. Yet he has yet to talk about it to me or debate to why his edits are OK. He just keeps on adding more and more unsourced material to these articles and ignores every single thing I say to him. So please explain to me why the consensus was stale. Thank you. Heavydata (talk) 03:29, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * By the time I looked at the request, the IP had not edited for about three hours, which suggests he/she may have given up, thus making any block useless (and certainly not preventative) at that time. If you think I was in error (or if the IP pops up again), feel free to re-request at WP:AIV or WP:ANI. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:52, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

User:Cook.gj/Sandbox/Distress radiobeacon
Thanks for you note. I was trying to keep that page private, using my sandbox to draft all the rework this article needs. Just so we're clear, was my error was leaving the off the "User:" at the start of the link?

Also, if I give another user (who is helping me out) this link, will they be able to see and edit it or is it private?

Thanks again for your help. (Cook.gj (talk) 05:32, 25 August 2010 (UTC))
 * Yep, it was just the "User:". As to your second question, anyone can see your second link and be able to edit that page. Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 12:36, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Ad aware.


The 1 line I added was compliant !

Keeping finding new excuses to remove what I added does not make it less true.

The ends justify the means eh ? First it was seen as an opinion from me ? It is not. It not being ironic... the one that said that needs a dictionary. Then they said my sources were created by me? Not true in the least..

I have added enough material to prove without a doubt the veracity of that 1 line. If the party in question admits it being there, why would i need a third party source , which there are ! Even testemony from numerous people.

I even started a discussion about the whole thing, people didn't takle the time to coontribute and just kept blanking.

Is the one that complains the quickest the one that is right?

This is nothing more than harassment and ganing up on me from a couple of regulars who know eachother. Sad Sad Sad

--

If you know something is true, have enough facts and date about it , proof and sources , how would you go about adding it?

I kindly ask you to just do it for me.. add 1 fact to the ad-aware article.. read up about it from the links I gave .. Add it in your own words, really i don't care ... Ad-Aware pops up popup messages advertising lavasoft products and more , even flowers on mother's day.

Tell me, show me , how to add that to wikipedia in a way that is acceptable.. and i dont mean to add it in a way that will please everyone that reads it.. A majority will not make truth ! Enough people denying the fact the earth is a splere will not flatten it !

Show me how it's done. Show me how to get an unpopular truth into wikipedia..

 

Kind regards.

 * Hi. The threshold for inclusion of material on Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. In addition, when multiple users disagree with your edits, the normal course of action is to discuss them on the talk page and gain consensus first instead of "edit-warring" to push your version through. As for getting involved in the actual dispute, that would be inappropriate, as I am the protecting admin. Regards, Dabomb87 (talk) 21:39, 25 August 2010 (UTC)


 * A link to the ad-aware forum, where an employee explains to why they added popup ads is not enough ? 83.101.79.86 (talk) 21:44, 25 August 2010 (UTC)


 * As I said before, I would rather not be involved in the dispute. Even if the claim is referenced to a reliable source (and not all editors believe that forum posts are reliable), you still need to gain consensus for its mention. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:46, 25 August 2010 (UTC)


 * How can you wash your hands of this ..

I add a part to the article which i think is relevat, someone blanks it out , saying it is merely my opinion. I start a discussion, by the book , stating why it is not. It gets blanked again with the reason that it's not ironic, which then i explained the meaning of ironic in the discussion , etc etc.. Where in the end, you revert it to what it was befor i contributed and lock it. That last action involved you.


 * As i said, the ends justoify the means , where this article is suposed to be an advert for the "lavasoft ad aware" product and not an article with multiple points of view.


 * This fact is not emportant enough for people to write a book about, a discussion forum thread stating the thing , and multiple people commenting about it will be the most that will ever gets written about it. I am currently looking all over to find anything else that can be seen as a source , and discussions on forums is all I can find.


 * I kindly ask that the article be returned to it's state before they started blanking that line out, and they be asked to contribute to the dizscussion as to why I should be seen as the vandal here and not them.


 * I will do my best to find extra sources, every time i find one that i think would be acceptabele i will add it to the discussion part and ask you to review it and revert my addition to the article with the added source.


 * Kind regards 83.101.79.86 (talk) 22:06, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I did not revert your edit, check the history. If you cannot find any mention of the fact in a reliable source (reputable news site, magazine etc.), then perhaps it is not worthy of inclusion. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:11, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

 * righto, i'll ask at some point. someone asked at bot requests before and they said they'd need the source code. maybe we could get the code of the original bot operator though i don't know if he's contactable. bit of a shame as it's a pretty useful tool. Tom B (talk) 03:57, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

"Elnec" deletion
Hello,

I can see you deleted a wiky page I created /wiki/Elnec - 21:48, 25 August 2010 Dabomb87 (talk | contribs) deleted "Elnec". I can understand partly your concerns and this action. However, the page was online nearly a year and I believe it is appropriate for inclusion. Longer time I was not online, that is why I did not react to deletion messages. Elnec is really known worldwide and I believe after my improvements page will satisfy notability guidelines. Please give me chance to improve the page and make it undeleted.

May be worth half an eye
User:1930fwc (c). As of this post there's every reason to assume good faith, but look at the content of the first 10 edits, and the timing. ("Augustus Loren" a.k.a. Jamen was banned that same day). No grounds to wade in based on the meaningful edits he's made, but definitely worth a quiet eye. Regards, --WFC-- 23:56, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Quite. The first edit after the initial ten (almost certainly an attempt to gain "autoconfirmed" rights) is very telling. Will keep an eye. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:58, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
 * That's why I'm leaning towards pending changes on these lists. Reasons are fourfold:
 * 1. IPs are extremely useful over there, and a string of Eastern European and South American leagues are about to finish.
 * 2. Reviewers and admins generally know how to get someone disruptive blocked extremely quickly.
 * 3. It would be extremely naive to think that the user has enough of a life not to have created dozens of these accounts, rendering semi-protection useless.
 * 4. Since last week, progress on the UEFA list has practically stalled, primarily on the "why ******g bother" grounds (I'm simply making enough token progress to ensure it doesn't get delisted/to piss him off, I openly admit to having no motivation right now). If I knew there was a watertight way of not needing to interact with Jamen on those lists, it would return. --WFC-- 00:11, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm willing to try pending changes, once the semi-protection ends in a couple days. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:20, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Any way to help
I'm starting to feel like a leech on FLC. Is there any way I can help out? I would be an extremely horrible reviewer. Trying to think of things.... work with Ucucha on checking dab and external links? Run AWB on an article? Anything else?

Also congrats (condolences?) on being made an admin. I'm paying Jujutacular $50 to his/her swiss account for every support. I guest you will be doing it too. Egads, FLC is getting expensive :) Bgwhite (talk) 07:33, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Why not try doing some reviews anyway? You might either find a new area you'd like to write/research, or just learn things that will make your own FLCs go smoother.  By the way, I paid for my RFA supports in Third Zimbabwean Dollars; everyone got to be billionaires while I didn't have to skip lunch ;) Courcelles 07:38, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't have expensive tastes, but a week-long vacation to Europe (all expenses paid) would be fine :) In all seriousness, doing reviews is probably the best thing you can do to help out; not only does it help to bring other lists to featured status, it helps you to become more critical and observant of your own mistakes in creating lists. If reviewing not your thing, we always need more FLRCs. Plenty of FLs don't meet the current standards, and a good number of them are listed at Featured list candidates/Task force. Find one that stands out to you as especially deficient, and nominate it at FLRC. Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 14:01, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you both for your response. You really don't want me doing reviews...  There is a reason I went into math and computers.  Also, in my responses to people, I can come across as hostile.  I will take a deeper look at FLRCs and the task force page after the weekend.  Maybe trying to bring a page on the task force page upto standards would be good... several articles look interesting and something I could do. Bgwhite (talk) 16:22, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, the best FLRC is the one we never have to have. Choose judiciously, though, there are a decent number on the list that won't survive FLRC for reasons totally unrelated to their present condition.  3B is especially hard to fix by editing; for those it can almost be just waiting for someone to bother opening an FLRC.

MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist
Dabomb, I’ve got a white-list request (#examiner.com / Frank Sherosky that has languished for three days with no attention at MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist. That is a page where wikipedians can request that a particular page on a blacklisted site be un-blocked (whitelisted). The site currently has a hat statement that reads “This page has a backlog that requires the attention of one or more administrators. Please remove this notice when the backlog is cleared.” Can you look into this? Greg L (talk) 17:18, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Greg, unfortunately I know next to nothing about the spam pages, but I have asked another administrator to help out. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:30, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

What is the
length of days between two nominations by a same user? Because this seems totally premature, seeing that the nominater already has another list up for FLC, which is failing anyways. — <i style="color:blue;">Legolas</i> ( talk 2 me ) 08:46, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Is there a "heads-Up" process?
I'm not familiar enough with RPP processes to know what to do if there's a possible need, not yet manifested. I took a quick look and didn't see any such requests.

this announcement by Lomborg may be viewed as a bombshell, so it would be wise to keep an eye out at Bjørn Lomborg. I've made one edit to include the material in the lead, but it ought to be properly added to the body. It is very possible that um, strong opinions about how to include it will occur.

Seems to me that we don't do protective protection, and that's fine, but if there's a better way to urge some to keep an eye on it, please let me know.-- SPhilbrick  T  23:35, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Mariah Carey albums discography FLC
Hello. I do not understand why you failed the nomination. I corrected all of the concerns the other editors had. At least let me notify them to leave their final response. I mean, every issue that was mentioned was dealt with, so why is it failed.?--<font color="black" face="Lucida Calligraphy">Peter <font color ="purple" face= "Lucida Calligraphy">Griffin  &bull; <font face="Garamond">Talk   01:10, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * There were multiple opposes, many of which were legitimate concerns about issues (such as 3b) that need wider attention outside FLC. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:47, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't agree, I addressed all the issues that each editor had. They just never had the decency to comment back like I asked. There were no such issues as you mentioned. At least let me ask the editors to express their final opinions.--<font color="black" face="Lucida Calligraphy">Peter <font color ="purple" face= "Lucida Calligraphy">Griffin  &bull; <font face="Garamond">Talk   02:01, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Reviewers are often busy people, and it's your responsibility as nominator to ask them to revisit the nomination. The consensus among reviewers was that 3b was a problem; even if the split was agreed to a few months ago, consensus can change, so perhaps you should revisit the split vs. merge debate. If you feel that my closure was a grave mistake, feel free to ask the community for wider input at WT:FLC. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:12, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Firstly, the only reason I did not ask reviewers to comment back on the page is because thought it was against the rules, and feared it would possibly disqualify the nomination. Please, at least give the nomiation another 24 hours to get straightened up. Ill make sure to have it sorted out by then. All I ask is for 1 more day.--<font color="black" face="Lucida Calligraphy">Peter <font color ="purple" face= "Lucida Calligraphy">Griffin   &bull; <font face="Garamond">Talk   02:26, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The FLC is not likely to be "straightened up" and ready to be promoted in 1 day (and it probably would not be for at least a week). Please try to resolve the concerns outside FLC. In addition, you just submitted another FLC, Featured list candidates/Mariah Carey singles discography/archive1, so I think you should tend to that one for now instead of trying to juggle multiple noms at a time. The FLC instructions clearly say editors "should not add a second FL nomination until the first has gained support and reviewers' concerns have been substantially addressed" (emphasis mine). Dabomb87 (talk) 02:31, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Logical question (for Peter, not Dabomb)... if reviewers, including myself, opposed the albums discog on 3B, what makes you think the singles one won't meet the same reception? This is why I like to prepare different kinds of lists for FLC in sequence, so that by the time the next of one type is ready, I've had time to incorporate feedback from the last one into the next list, and hopefully only have to clean up things that are there because I suck at copy-editing my own prose.  I'll monitor the situation instead of rushing to oppose the singles list, but the a better course of action would have been to go back to the talk page and rediscuss a merge, instead of opening another FLC. Courcelles 02:45, 31 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Now this goes for Courcelles. You and Dan Dassow are the only 2 edtiors that have expressed an interest in "a merge," 6 editors (now including Lakeshade as he expressed) do not agree. What more is there to discuss about it? You would like to fail the FLC simply because you disagree over a merge. The article meets the given criteria, thats a fact, and if you had any other concerns I would have dealt with them up front. Now to Dabomb, I was told by Legolas the rule was to have a "14-day interval in between nominations", which I had 14 days and 2 hours, so I didn't break any rule whatsoever. Now I disagree, and feel there is no fair reason to not promote the article. I'm here being told that the article will not be promoted (nor the new one) because 2 editos do not agree with a 8 month old "merging consensus." Forgive my language, but thats Bull-shit.--<font color="black" face="Lucida Calligraphy">Peter <font color ="purple" face= "Lucida Calligraphy">Griffin  &bull; <font face="Garamond">Talk   03:14, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * There is no such interval; Legolas has mistakenly applied the FAC instructions to FLC. As I said before, if you believe my closure was in error you are welcome to make your case to User:The Rambling Man (the other FLC director) or the general FL community at WT:FLC. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:18, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, I trusted an experienced editor, so yes my fault, won't happen again. Honestly Dabomb, I really am pissed and disgusted at the lack of support and everything else here on Wikipedia and FLC. Someone presents one hell of an article, and editors just write Oppose because of a grammar problem, and then once it's fixed, just leave it hanging. I'll tell you why, because the whole system is unfair, people shoot down great opportunities, because so many have no decency. I'm now being told the FLC failed because of a merge that was discussed with a consensus months ago, with no proof of any other issues. I'm sorry, but its BS and I don't support, its a shame, and I as an editor would never treat someones work or nomination in such a fashion.--<font color="black" face="Lucida Calligraphy">Peter <font color ="purple" face= "Lucida Calligraphy">Griffin  &bull; <font face="Garamond">Talk   03:25, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I'm just wondering something. This is in no way an accusation or bad-faith, I'm really just wondering. I've noticed you've left editors messages, telling them to "please comment back on the nomination page, and express support, neutral or oppose." Well I was wondering why you couldn't do that to my FLC, as that was the problem? would it have killed you to give me the same courtesy, to help sort the page out? It seems that page has more of your support than mine had, unfortunately.--<font color="black" face="Lucida Calligraphy">Peter <font color ="purple" face= "Lucida Calligraphy">Griffin  &bull; <font face="Garamond">Talk   16:30, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I try to leave messages for reviewers whenever I get the time, but that is certainly not my obligation. My apologies if it seems I'm favoring one FLC or the other, because that is not the case. Also, not all reviewers need to "revisit" the nominations because there's not much that could change their opinion (e.g. 3b opposes). Dabomb87 (talk) 21:10, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * That's fine. Although I find it ridiculous that the articles are being shot down because of a merge that was decided through consensus months ago. I mean, take a look at Madonna's discographies, they are both FL and the same length. Why aren't they or didn't they fair the same issues?--<font color="black" face="Lucida Calligraphy">Peter <font color ="purple" face= "Lucida Calligraphy">Griffin  &bull; <font face="Garamond">Talk   22:40, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

RFA congrats
Congratulations on your new position! I absolutely would've supported, I've just been out of commission between moving and no internet at home as the account gets set up! Staxringold talkcontribs 17:37, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for cleaning up the mess I made trying to fix a copy-paste move on Jake Taylor. I'm going to review and figure out the correct way to do that in the future. –Grondemar 01:59, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
