User talk:Dividing/Archive 2



A tag has been placed on Ohio State Route 761, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Redirect of Ohio State Highway 761
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Ohio State Highway 761, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Ohio State Highway 761 is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Ohio State Highway 761, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Vandals
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: You may already know about them, but you might find Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Users must vandalize after final warning before you report them. Thanks again. — j acĸrм  (talk ) 20:47, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It's alright, glad to help. I suggest trying Twinkle, with which you can warn, report, revert all with one click of a button! Makes being an anti-vandal fighter easy. — j acĸrм  (talk ) 20:51, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

USRD Inactivity check and news report
Hello, Milktaco. We had a few urgent matters to communicate to you:
 * 1) Please update your information at WikiProject U.S. Roads/Participants, our new centralized participant list. Those who have not done so by October 20th will be removed.
 * 2) There are important discussions taking place at WT:USRD relating to whether WP:USRD, WP:HWY, or the state projects should hold the "power" in the roads projects.

Your recent edits
Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 18:08, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Your recent report to WP:AIV
Hi there, I've blocked one of the IP you reported to AIV. Just a quick note however, when reporting to AIV it's not really accepted that anonymous IP's are known as accounts let alone a vandalism only account. This rationale is only really applied to a registered editor who's sole aim is to disrupt Wikipedia, and having only vandalism edits to the account, we would then block the account indefinitely as a vandalism only account. As we are unsure if it's the same editor behind an IP address at any given time we cannot issue a permanent blocks to anonymous IP's. Also can you please remember to sign your reports with ~. Any problems please don't hesitate to give me a shout. Khu kri 18:04, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Ohio state highway articles
I've noticed that some of the Ohio state highway articles are now being deleted, so why is that.---OHWiki 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Your signature
I like your signature:

M i l k T a c o

…but according to WP:SIG, your signature must have a link to your userpage or talkpage. Here's the code to link your signature to your userpage:

<tt> <font color="#CCCCCC">M <font color="#BDBDBD">i <font color="#A9A9A9">l <font color="#969696">k <font color="#808080">T <font color="#6E6E6E">a <font color="#595959">c <font color="#424242">o </tt>

…which appears as:

<font color="#CCCCCC">M <font color="#BDBDBD">i <font color="#A9A9A9">l <font color="#969696">k <font color="#808080">T <font color="#6E6E6E">a <font color="#595959">c <font color="#424242">o

RE: PRODs
The reason I did that is that if you just redirect without indicating what it is (i.e. what is SR285?) on the disambig, it seems pointless to redirect it there without adding an entry for it. &lt;3 bunny  02:25, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

You've been blocked for running a bot without approval. Making that many edits at a time, even if done by hand, clogs recent changes and is disruptive. Please request a bot account at WP:BRFA to run a legal bot without being blocked, or slow down your editing to not clog recent changes, while review ing every edit by hand.

 * Comment: I frequently batch-process things like this, eg. expired prods. I'll open ~20 in tabs, then go through clicking links one after another until I have dealt with them all.

What happened here was that I developed a tool that might be useful in watching for unapproved bots. I explained that it was not yet to be used for any blocks yet, and that it was in testing until it could reliably distinguish bots from real users. Unfortunately, through no fault of his own, the blocking admin was not around when I explained this, and ended up seeing an alert in the channel, quickly scanning your contribs, and determining that you must be a bot because of the edit rate. Clearly, the tool needs a bit of work, and so does the communication about this sort of thing. I must apologise for the disruption to your editing &mdash; I would be frustrated in the same circumstances. If you're interested in decreasing your workload in terms of these moves/redirects, might I suggest AWB and a bot account? It does it all automatically. &mdash; Werdna talk 17:17, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Please take on the suggestion by Werdna. I was about to block because it most definitively looks like a bot activity: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&target=Dividing&month=&year=. I would suggest you pause the massive redirect drive, and apply for a bot account. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 16:03, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
