Ottawa Linux Symposium
Hi,

I saw that you were the admin who deleted the OLS page last February. I didn't follow the prod procedure, and I don't know what the content of the page used to be, but it seems to me that OLS is definitely worth a wikipedia page, as it is one of the most important conferences for the development of the linux kernel, usually attended by most core developers, and I believe important technical decisions tend to be taken there. It also seems that many wikipedia pages still point to it. Would it be possible to undelete the page?

Thanks. --Nattfodd (talk) 22:13, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I can't help you that much - I only clean out old Prod pages... I think WP:DELREV would be the best place to take it, actually.  jj137  (  talk )  04:36, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Infobox MLB player
Hey JJ, we are having a discussion over at the WP:BASEBALL talk page about the possibility of adding a current playing level to the MLB infobox for players who are on a 40-man roster, and therefore have an MLB infobox, but are not currently in the majors. I was wondering if you could help us with coding the infobox, because I have no idea how to do it. Let me know if you can help. Thanks! KV5 •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  17:03, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, basically, I was thinking it would be a box that says current playing level, and then you could fill in AAA and the team name, AA, A, etc. It should be optional too, I think, because then it doesn't need to be filled in for all the current MLB players. KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  14:12, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I see there what you put in, but it's only half the width of the infobox. That's the only thing I see. KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  15:49, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Very likely easier, but then the entire infobox template has to be changed every time someone gets promoted, etc. KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  16:42, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That seems to be the most efficient method. This way, the code could essentially be copied to a new template, and then those fields just have to be added in. KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  19:38, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps instead of "Infobox MLB player", it could be "Infobox MLB 40 man player". That way, all you have to do is add in "40 man", and it's indicative to the reader and to the coder what changes have occurred in their status. KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  02:57, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Guideline discussion spam in baseball newsletter?
Hi. I assume you are the keeper of the baseball newsletter you've sent me a few times? Do you think it would be possible to include a link about a discussion which is underway at WT:MLB regarding the notability guideline for baseball players? It's my contention not only that the current guideline is flawed, but that the main cause for the flaws is that too few people were involved in its construction to form a quorum. So I'd like as many people as possible to weigh in. Thanks. —Wknight94 (talk) 03:12, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: Hey
Yeah, it's been a while. I can still remember my amazement when I first saw you using Huggle. I was like, "How the hell is he faster than ClueBot????!!"

So, what have you been up to? I sometimes see that you had reverted vandalism a few days earlier on a page that I am reverting, and once in a while I see your comments on some random talk page, but that's about it. I miss our furious Huggle battles back in March when there were like 10 people total who had it, and you were lucky if more than one was on at the same time. A lot has changed since those days. A lot.... J.delanoy gabs adds 03:16, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * BTW, to actually answer your question, I'm fine. ;-) J.delanoy gabs adds  03:17, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * No it's not just you. Vandalism has slowed down somewhat (for now... summer = no bored kids in homeroom. Wait till school goes back in session....) but the big thing is that there are so many people using Huggle it is absolutely insane. While I can still beat most of them (a-hem), there is simply no getting around the fact that there is no way that all the others are reverting nothing. Although I do have to admit that it is good that practically 100% of blatant vandalism and greater than 90% of more subtle vandalism is caught within a few seconds, I did like it better when there weren't so many Hugglers. I don't know why either. Maybe I just liked the knowledge that I was singlehandedly decimating the Forces of Evil™.


 * And yeah, I'm an admin. It's cool, but I haven't been yelled at for deleting someone's page yet, and I've had +sysop for more that a week. I feel like such a failure. :P Well, maybe not. I blocked someone without any warnings on their talk page, I softblocked an open proxy that someone else had hardblocked, I deleted this page as CSD G11 (No I'm not that dumb - look at the deleted revisions and the deleted contribs of the guy who made the edits that I "neglected" to restore...), and I've protected either three or four pages that someone else had already protected. So, yeah, looking at it closer, I guess I've got this admin-ing stuff down pat. :-)  J.delanoy gabs adds  03:42, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, god, you don't want to tempt me with the "delete" button. I made this edit when there were still three days left in my RFA :-) And yes, I have clicked the "delete" button on the Main Page, the Sandbox, and ANI. (It won't let me, although I've heard rumors that there is a way around the 5000 revisions thingy. I also heard that you could irreparably destroy Wikipedia with the same action, so I don't think this is a good topic to continue.....)
 * I know what you mean. There are so many things we can't do that it's just as well we can't do. Then there are the things we can do... For example,.
 * From Administrators: "[An administrator is someone who is] familiar with and respects Wikipedia policy, and who has gained the trust of the community. [...] Users seeking help will often turn to an administrator for advice and information.". Hah! J.delanoy gabs adds  04:29, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hell, yeah! I personally like "nuke this page" sooo much better than "delete". And "protect" should be "erect forcefield". Hmm, what should "block" be? J.delanoy gabs adds  04:38, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

← Ha, definitely. "Crush by elephant". That's actually pretty creative. What I really like is that it stayed there for more than 10 hours. It stinks that "Pwn user" didn't last for longer than one minute, 'cause that was pretty good too. I guess some people have no sense of humor... J.delanoy gabs adds 04:46, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * My thing is, it would be one thing if we were messing around with things that everyone can see, (like changing the "history" tab to "past crappy versions" or something) but all the ANI threads you see involve parts of the interface that nobody other than admins can see, so what difference does it make? Why would you block someone when they're just having a little harmless fun on April Fools Day? It's not like they're running around on a mass delete/block/protect spree.

AWB
You gave AWB rights to a user, DougsTech, who I think is being careless with it. His stated concern is anti-vandalism, but his actual concern seems to be to rack up as many edits as he can. He's amassed a staggering number in his 4 months and 9 days as a Wikipedian. He seems to be charging at everything like a bull at a gate. Would it be possible to review his use of AWB, please?

Hi, On Shads myspace and in an interview on wwe .com he calls his finishing move THUGNIFICENCE. It’s just a modified big mans STO. It’s spelled different than the character name on the Boondocks, so it must have no connection, and just be plain street slang. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.31.128.225 (talk) 15:13, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

I fixed the problem you reported (and another place where I used query.php). I think there are other parts of the script that have stopped working over time; I haven't really looked into the situation that much, though, and probably won't have time to at the moment. --ais523 16:16, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Around the World, update...
We've been hard at work behind the scenes. We can't seem to get the trophy right, but we'll get there. And the set of pages need one more section completed before they can be moved to article space...

... that's right! We're almost ready to move the whole set into the live encyclopedia. One page for every country of the world!

We're currently developing the standard (by example) for these outlines, they're overall format and what they should look like.

One page that is nearly complete and built to the current standard is List of basic Thailand topics. Please take a look, and help us put the finishing touches on it if you have the time. It will be an example (along with List of basic Japan topics and List of basic France topics) for those working on the rest of the lists, and therefore is pretty important.

Any help or input you could provide would be most appreciated.

Thank you.

Why did you delete an entire paragraph in the 2008 Red Sox Season article? Calling it random is totally POV. Please don't delete other editors contributions without first discussing it on the talk page. Please revert your edit. Faethon Ghost (talk) 17:14, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Because it was completely out of place and didn't even make sense in the context of the article. And no, Wikipedia isn't a sandbox where anyone can just come and add whatever they want and leave it unremoved. And no, it wasn't POV, and no, I'm not going to revert myself unless someone can give me a good reason it should stay there.  <font color="#008040">jj137  <font color="#008040">(  talk <font color="#008040">)  18:11, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

 * No, that isn't a good reason. Look at some of our featured articles. Are they just a large mass of information? Of course not, there is always more info that can added, but we choose quality over quantity. Also, if you're just trying to trick me by not logging in, I'm not falling for it.  <font color="#008040">jj137  <font color="#008040">(  talk <font color="#008040">)  00:50, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I wasn't trying to trick you, just forgot to log in. The 2008 Red Sox Season article is weak compared to the 2008 Yankees Season article. The former has a breakdown of each month and I believe the editor who put the info about opening day on there was trying to get it going for the Red Sox article. Someone who is part of the Red Sox Wikipedia project should want more info in there, not less. The article is a skeleton and when someone tried to put some meat on it's bones you tore it right back off. I fail to see your motivation. Faethon Ghost (talk) 05:02, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Firstly, I apologize for thinking you were trying to "trick me" (there's never a way to be sure). Like I've already said, simply because articles are lacking content does not mean anything can be placed there; if we had a paragraph for all 162 games, the page would probably be so long it would freeze everyone's computer upon loading. I know the guy was just trying to help, but read through it again -- it doesn't sound anything like something written for an encyclopedia, but instead something more suited for a play-by-play analysis, or something like that. Sure, it would be great it we could get some sort of month-by-month summary in the Regular Season section (I think this article is a pretty good example), but a seemingly random paragraph describing the opening day game towards the beginning of the article is not a good idea. If you wanted to get into even more detail, it is written in short, choppy sentences and uses three letter team abbreviations, which we almost never do. Also, yes, I did found the Red Sox WikiProject, but in no way would I ever edit an article to make it worse (that wouldn't make sense). I'm not trying to tear the meat off the bone, as you describe it, I'm just trying to keep our articles from getting overly messy.  <font color="#008040">jj137  <font color="#008040">(  talk <font color="#008040">)  20:57, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
