Apologies & CVUA
Hi Kudpung, I'm sorry if I mis-interpreted this edit, which I understood to mean that you believed admins chose who got access to STiki and their word could not be over-ridden by non-admins. The us-them divide has always been a bugbear of mine and I know it's something I may be over-zealous with.

Regarding the wider CVUA issues, they are looking to implement my suggested changes at the end of the week. I believe those who were causing the other issues are aware of them and I've not seen problems with that either. Some of our other worries appear to be unfounded, such as CVUA trying to foist inexperienced editors into NPP. I believe this was because WT:NPP included a CVU banner - CVU and CVUA are seperate entities. (It may be best to remove the banner anyway)

Given time, I'm sure the project will keep improving. I also don't want to see these enthusiastic editors demoralised, Wikipedia has a problem with editor retention and there have been suggestions that this is partially due to the critical environment. As one of our more experienced editors, I'm sure you've seen general opinion on the way we do things change, the last thing I think we should be doing is stifling those editors who's bright ideas may be the start of a new Wikipedia environment.  Worm TT( talk ) 15:15, 28 August 2012 (UTC)


 * CVU and CVU/A are currently 'run'  by  the same people. If  anyone is to  blame, it's me for encouraging  those I  accord Rollback  and Reviewer rights to, to  help out  at NPP - but  only if I believe they can manage it. Others probably  see those comments and think it applies to everyone. Part of my reaction over Stiki was due to the use over the weekend by one of the 'stars' of CVU who created havoc across over 500 articles by using a bugged script. Knowing who it was, I didn't block to stop the disruption, and my humour and handling of the issue was taken in very good faith, and it finally worked out well with all concerned. Those who criticise my  'attitude' fail to notice these things. Your advice to me, unlike some emails I've been getting from  the CVU  crew, is always taken very seriously and in the very best of good faith :) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 16:05, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * PS. You may also wish  to  see this conversation  that  took  pace earlier this evening. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 16:12, 28 August 2012 (UTC)


 * When I read the comments that this incident stemmed from, I was immediately taken aback. Kudpung's tone was a little waspish. Definitely not something that I'm used to seeing. After reading back over everything, especially the little incident with Stiki, I'm actually going to give him kudos for maintaining as pleasant of a demeanor as he has. As I commented on the CVUA talk page earlier this evening, I feel that the project is near totally useless as a training tool. HOWEVER, it is one of those gateway projects that integrate new users into Wikipedia. And as such, I think it's dangerous to be too quick to write it off as a bad idea. I have looked over a lot of the people who drive that project and while they are often inexperienced and young, they all seem to have their hearts in the right place. Trusilver  04:53, 29 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi TrueSilver. Thanks for your input. Just to put the record straight in case your comments are misread by other users here (a common fault with  written communication which is also dangerous), I have never even remotely suggested that the project should be written off as a bad idea. I don't  even concur that  it is a totally  uselses training tool.  Moreover, I firmly belive that it has an essential function. I have aways stated that I  appreciate the enthusiasm  nd the time the regulars spend on it, but with all  the social  banter, misplaced daughter projects, active members being blocked and having their tools revoked, and others leaving leaving  the project for reasons of disenchantment, I and other editors have expressed the need for a more mature approach to the task, and much, much less bureaucracy. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:12, 30 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I mostly agree. The project suffers from an extreme case of Parkinson's Bicycle Shed Effect. For every twenty seconds the drivers of CVUA spend addressing the the correct methods to teach countervandalism, they spend an hour hand-wringing over pointless bureaucracy. Case in point: I made a post to the CVUA talk page the other day addressing several key issues surrounding the project as well as one minor quibbling suggestion that was almost to the point of irrelevance. Which one of these items did they latch onto and talk about? The irrelevant one. I found myself just sitting in my chair here chuckling and shaking my head. These are all good people, and I think they ARE an asset to the project, however misplaced I currently find their efforts to be. I think they seriously need a strong coordinator to the project, preferable one that is old enough to be taken seriously. (it shouldn't be an issue, but it really is) If someone asked for volunteers, I would be planting my foot into Worm That Turned's backside and shoving him out front. Trusilver  23:53, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I see that you share my thoughts exactly but I have to  cast my  mind back nearly 50 years to when I was in that age group. At school  we were constantly creating and organising clubs along with all their hierarchies. Strong  leaderships surfaced but unfortunately those with the charisma were often ones who were least suited for the actual tasks involved (too much polit-talk and too little action), while others quietly went about putting things write (pun intended) . We all resented any advice from outside (have fun reading the entire thread) .   One only needs to look at  this, total up the the number of edits that went into them all, and realise how that time could have been spent on actual counter-vandalism or tutoring. I started the ball  rolling  with  getting  the issues addressed, mainly  because of the badgering  and unnecessary  'clerking' at  PERM, but  even that  didn't  work. Worm  stepped in at  CVU and took the lead with  offering some sound advice  and although he is wise, experienced, and perhaps more diplomatic than I am, his gentle words were acknowledged but  received no  action. People say  that change takes time, but it has been going on for weeks now and I  don't see any happening. I've said that one can't see the wood for the trees in  the forest  of CVU/CVUA pages, and the pages look like Christmas trees - also rather reminiscent of the cool 'go faster' stripes youngsters used to  stick  on their cars  -  including me! The bike shed is an excellent analogy (I didn't know about that essay) and also  brings to  mind an area on which I am a coord - without  any  special  authority  -  hundreds of articles have just one line about the school, and the rest is about their sports results, the dozens of 5-member clubs,  and of course the food in the canteen. I realise that  because they  think it  was hard work  making them, it would be difficult for them to accept that they need to scrap  most of the pages and the decorations.  Not  content with  the plethora of user rights, some editors are even campaigning for more. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:28, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I think I have arrived at the same position you have, and I totally wash my hands of those people. I can name a dozen different anti-vandalism patrollers just off the top of my head who have more experience than ten of their so-called "instructors". (I wish that was an exaggeration, but it's really not) They seem to really enjoy outside comments on their project... particularly when they are positive comments. If they are offered criticism, they simply pick out the parts that they like and blissfully pretend the rest never happened. They are going about right now figuring out how to create metrics to verify how successful their programs is... let bureaucracy reign!! I know what you are talking about when it comes to schools, though. I have always had a soft spot toward school articles, even when they are clearly crufty and/or non-notable, just because I know that school articles are how a lot of teenage editors get their first edits on the project. With schools, much like the CVUA, I feel that we can afford the ability to not take them QUITE as seriously as other content. I'm sure there are certain humorless people who will be lighting torches to burn me at the stake for even suggesting this, but I think that when the cafeteria menu or something equally unencyclopedic for Whocaresville High School is put on the article, I will scrutinize it for a moment and then walk right past it when I'm doing recent change patrolling. Should I revert? Probably, but it's an article that very few people are going to read, and it has the possibility of developing a new editor who might later be an asset to the project. I view CVUA in the same way... a gross misappropriation of time. BUT, it really doesn't hurt anyone or anything to let it exist, and good may come out of it in the long run. Trusilver  22:33, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Please do revert any  senseless trivia from  school articles when yo  come across it. I  use a special toolserver watchlist for school articles but I don't catch them all by any means. I wouldn't  say  that  nobody  reads school  articles - I just got  a high school up to GA and it's been reported in the local press! Wikipedia's first UK high school GA.

Carthage44 socking
was blocked indefintely a while back along with (2 weeks). The IP is actively editing again with the same baseball theme of Chicago White Sox related articles. Being that editing in the past with this static IP coincided with blocks to Carthage44, and given the current theme of the edits, I would assume this is a continuing sock.—Bagumba (talk) 21:09, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I would assume so too and it looks pretty obvious to me and it  has been established that  they  are the same although they  made a weak claim of innocence that was declined. As you are now an admin, you can use your discretion whether to re-block or not. I would suggest a longer block this time, with account creation blocked, and check  to  see if any new accounts editing  the same pages have been created while the block was on. Good luck! Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:00, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * As I interacted in the past with the user before becoming an admin, I'll err on being conservative and consider myself "involved". I'll report at SPI.  Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 14:33, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I think that is a perfectly reasonable decision. It's also the reason why I will not get further involved as I made the first block. There's nothing to stop you reopening the case though. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:54, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Opened at Sockpuppet investigations/Carthage44. Especially since I filed what I thought was a clear-cut case at AN3 that was denied on a stricter interpretation of edit-warring than I would have used, I'm sitting back and observing on cases where I'm involved.  No desire for drama :-)—Bagumba (talk) 15:07, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I've been around a long time but I'm also rather new to the SPI process itself. It's not an area that I generally take much active interest in but through my work on deletions I tend to end up  discovering a lot of cases of socking. This particular case should be able to  be quickly cut and dried per WP:DUCK because the user actually  admits to using the same computer. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:23, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Garrison Border Town of Elvas and its Fortifications
Hi there

Thank you for notifying me about the deletion of "Garrison Border Town of Elvas and its Fortifications".

I do not agree with the deletion which was already done. It is usual for articles refering to a world heritage site to be separated from the article of the city/place itself where this site is located.

The information of the original article I created is now not present anywhere.

I will recreate the original article.

Best,

Z. Zdtrlik (talk) 09:07, 29 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. It hasn't actually  been deleted. You  can find it  here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Garrison_Border_Town_of_Elvas_and_its_Fortifications&oldid=505697830 to  recreate the article, simply  undo  the redirect by  using  the 'undo' in  the edit  history. Do not simply copy the content and paste it into a new article. If  you  need any  help, let  me know. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:18, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

 * One of my typical  tongue-in-the-cheek exaggerations, but  if one counts all  the essays too, it  might  be getting  close. Even  still  keep stumbling  across new ones, and I'm  often confued. One of the annoying  things is that  so many  pages link to other versions of the same thing.  Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:12, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Protection of Edin Džeko
Hi there! I don't know how familiar you are with football/soccer, and particular European, and especially English football, but from the close of the season until 31 August, players are allowed to be transfered. As such, players even vaguely linked with moves have their pages changed. This is exacerbated by wild twitter rumours, fans lust for another team's player etc until WP player pages are a mess! As such, I've protected Dzeko's page as it kept getting changed that he plays for Arsenal. He doesn't, but some fans think he a) should b) has signed c) is about to sign etc. Until it's a done deal and has reliable sources, we can only say he plays for his current club (in this case Man City).

Almost every football player that comes onto RfPP around deadline day ends up getting protected till early September when it all calms down again. Until January, when we get another month of it! So I hope you don't mind me revisting your RfPP request (it had been added to), and for letting you know about the madness of the transfer window. And apologies if you knew all that anyway! Ged UK  14:28, 31 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Ged. You'll find this strange for an Englishman, but I don't have the foggiest idea about soccer, no  interest, and don't  want to know. All I know is that  22 men kick  a ball around a field, earn a huge amount of money for it, and millions of people go mad over the game. As you'll see from my user page, I also have an aversion to the 1000s of one-line, one-reference soccer bios -  and that's why I can't  even be bothered to patrol them. You are more than welcome to  protect  the article as much as you  like, even dig a hole and bury it  ;) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:39, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Doesn't surprise me in the slightest; most of my friends couldn't give a rat's whosit about it either. I just wish there was a button we could press when the transfer window opens that would protect all footballer's articles until September! WOuld stop RfPP getting cluttered!

A7-Animal
Hi Kudpung! I've always wondered what the purpose of the db-animal template was. What is considered a non-notable or insignificant animal? I've created a few fish stubs, and TAP has created thousands of stubs of species of beetles. The only article about an animal that I've ever speedied was Smeebling (it's actually a hoax and you'll probably get a good laugh about it). Best, Electric Catfish 20:54, 31 August 2012 (UTC).

I do assume good faith, and you have, indeed, erred; but I hope I'm not being rude.
Lecen not only took part in the edit war, but was actually the one who started it and ignored the talk page. Where's his warning?

Did you even read the talk page? Lecen complained to the noticeboard before joining the discussion in the talk page, despite my invitations to discussion. --I. N. Keller (talk) 16:37, 1 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. You're not being  rude at  all. I had read the talk  page and it doesn't matter who is wrong  or who  is right, technically you were both edit warring and over the limit. However, those  edit summaries for communication are not a cool way to communicate either, and they are disruptive. I  omitted to  warn Lecen because I'm  having  terrible problems with  my  connection  today  and I  meant  to  go  back  to  it  later. I  was actually  hesitating  over protecting  the page but one edit war between just two  editors is not  sufficient  reason  to  do  so.  It's  too  late for me to  warn him  now so  I  will  strike the warning  on  your page and feel  free to  delete it if you  wish. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 16:55, 1 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you, sir. I don't really care about warnings, I simply object to special treatment, mainly because I don't deserve it --I. N. Keller (talk) 17:14, 1 September 2012 (UTC).

In hindsight,  I've left a message on  his talk page already. As it as a content  dispute it  should have been taken to  WP:DRN anyway if it  can't be resolved amicably  amicably and not  ANI. At ANI  there could be a risk that you might both be blocked -  which I did not do. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 17:18, 1 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Regarding his comment below, I have been editing Wikipedia anonymously since at least 2005, but, unlike him, I don't do it for attribution. He's a great example of the editor who has made major contributions or written a whole article himself, and then rejects any attempts to improve it. By the way, the discussion of 16th of November did not "die out", hie simply ignored it completely.


 * If we decide to assess edits based on the past contributions of the editor instead of assessing the contribution's merits, we'll be driving many users away, both new and old. Using your "golden stars" as an argument is ludicrous; what bearing do his "golden stars" have on whether the article's title is good or not?


 * One last point: "ragamuffin" is NOT a translation for "farrapo." Farrapo means "rag". I challenge anyone to find a dictionary saying otherwise. --I. N. Keller (talk) 18:56, 1 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not really  bothered who is right or who is wrong as I have said before, and my talk page is not  the place to  battle it  out and you  both  know where to  take your dispute. That  said, AFAIK maltrapilho is ragamuffin. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:15, 1 September 2012 (UTC)


 * And you are right. maltrapilho is a good translation for ragamuffin. Sorry for bothering you, I realise now you're very busy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imnotkeller (talk • contribs) 20:56, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

War of the Ragamuffins
Thank you for your warning. Perhaps you're not aware, but I'm actually the only, I repeat, the only editor on Wikipedia in English who is writing articles about Brazilian imperial history. Did you see the golden stars at the top of my user page? Empire of Brazil, Pedro I of Brazil, Pedro II of Brazil, etc, etc.. The Brazilian military commander who quelled the Ragamuffin rebellion? That was Luís Alves de Lima e Silva, Duke of Caxias, another Featured Article I wrote. In other words: I'm actually the only person who has any real knowledge of Brazilian history around. But you instead chose to listen to a guy who has never contributed at all??

You also seem not to have paid attention to the development of the article about the War of the Ragamuffins. That was, and still is, a completely ignored article. I changed its name (and warned everyone) on 17 May 2011. No one complained. No one. Several months later, on 16 November 2011, a guy called Pinnecco complained, but the discussion died out and nothing happened. Now, on 31 August 2012 an editor called " I. N. Keller" who has never made any single contribution on Wikipedia changed the name of the article and reverted again when I opposed him. You shoudn't come to my talk page and accuse me of edit warring. I'm not forcing anything, he was and still is. The name "Ragamuffin" is the English translation of the Portuguese word "Farrapo" and is the name used on English sources about Brazilian imperial history. I'm not creating that out of nowhere, I woudln't have ten FAs about Brazilian imperial history if I didn't pay serious attention to sources. --Lecen (talk) 18:18, 1 September 2012 (UTC)


 * If I'm concerned with cases of edit warring I obviously don't do a review of the whole article. The effort is to stop the warring, not to  establish  who  is right or wrong -  it takes two to tango. The content  or the name dispute is a matter for WP:DRN if it can't  be resolved amicably as I  have explained. What you  could also  do would be start a 'move' RfC on  the article talk page and let the community decide on the name of the page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:44, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Thmc1 Now causing new problems! REPLY RQUESTED!
Just thought I'd let you know that Thmc1 is now embroiled in an edit war and angering several(at least 4 or 5) other users in the "Yosemite National Park" article by repeatedly reverting their edits. All this while still evading block and not logging in (173.63.176.93). Check out the article's talk page ! I've already reported to WP.AIV, but so far nothing. Now, what? MBaxter1 (talk) 18:48, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * AIV is for clear cases of vandalism. If it's a content  dispute take it  to DRN, if it's sockpuppetry  take it  to  SPI,  and if you are absolutely  certain  that  admin  intervention  is required take it to  AN/I. That  said, I don't  see much  disruption  on  Yosemite National Park. And please stop yelling at me - it's not  the way to  get things done here. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk)


 * My apologies if it appeared that I was yelling at you. The goal was to get your atention, and not to yell! I'm just really miffed (and disappointed) at why you had originally blocked 173.63.176.93, and then reversed that decision. According to the investigation archives, there was barely any evidence(compared to what I brought up), and yet he was still blocked the first time. Even more puzzling is why a user who obviously violated a block for sockpuppeting is allowed to continue what is obviously the same kinds of disruptive edits (subtle vandalism) for which he was originally blocked. Has there been a change of protocol for conducting SPI since that time? Regards, MBaxter1 (talk) 17:39, 4 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The probleis that we can't  keep  IPs blocked indefinitely. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:32, 5 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Gotcha. if it's alright with you I will continue reporting anything that I find suspicious. Anyway, you mentioned previously that you were conducting an investigation of your own and came up with a few other people who might also be connected to Thmc1. By any chance, would one of the account names happen to begin with the letters "Kw......."?MBaxter1 (talk) 20:09, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Autopatrolled
25? Really? Not so long time ago the bar was at 100 pages.

 * The purpose of autopatrolled rights is to help reduce the backlog at NPP.

The articles should be free of issues that NPPers have to correct or tag for, such as spelling and grammar mistakes, BLP issues, or NPOV vios. However, 17 articles isn't going to backlog up NPP. Electric Catfish 01:02, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * When I applied for the right 3 years ago I had made over 50 full-length articles. I applied because if a patroller was doing his/her job properly, it  would have taken an hour to check them correctly. I  wouldn't  have dreamt of asking  for the rights with  less. Quality is more important  than quantity, and if I see around 35 or so articles of the quality I write myself, I see no reason why not to accord, while 100 short stubs probably won't get my  approval - they only take seconds to patrol. When checking for autopatrolled rights, I check  all the articles up  to the first 100, and also  do  checks that can only be made by admins, and those are the most important. Again therefore, there is really  no  need for 'clerking' on that  page except  for some help  with  archiving. I  have no  idea what criteria other admins apply, but  I  guess you  all  know by  now that  I  am  strict  but  fair (I hope), and always open to  questions concerning  my  admin  acts (nobody is perfect). Hope this helps. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:39, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

FYI. Please remember that CAPTCHAs are undoable for some of us. Courcelles 15:35, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * As a web developer, I am fully aware of that. The onus is on the applicant to explain why they want the rights, and on the MediaWiki devs to do something about it. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I actually don't know why we would be declining this flag to anyone who is working in reasonably good faith and not making a mess. It is supposed to be trivial, not something that requires an extraordinary reason to get; all declining the flag does is makes other people's lives harder, and it isn't really fair to make them beg for such a trivial thing. Courcelles 00:12, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * AFAIK (according to a test I made 3 minutes ago, from an unconformed account of mine, and making an attempt at account creation) the CAPTCHA is only required when registering a new account. There may  possibly  be a bug  or something else I am missing. Nevertheless, a more friendly  approach to  me might have been appropriate - the use in  question hasn't  even attempted one edit  to  mainspace yet. Thanks.

 * I think that you also have to answer a CAPTHA when you try to provide an external link (to prevent spamming). Electric Catfish 11:22, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * CAPTCHA would make sense in that case, except that I think it would be best to try a different system for blocking out spam bots rather than getting people to punch in a set of difficult-to-read characters that appear onscreen. I agree with Courcelles above. Kurtis (talk) 18:57, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Removing of maintenance tag templates
Kudpungji, I am having a a problem with the article creator of Sibichen K Mathew who has been removing repeatedly maintenance templates (leaving messages like "Sorry will look into it......shortly). While the initial page was created through  user name, subsequent edits are being done through an IP. The issue is mainly with notability and there are any number of these pages of mid-ranking and junior  Indian civil service officers probably  put up by their sycophants, progeny or those looking for a something in return. (Other examples I've come across are K. V. Jacob and Abhay Kumar.) I was just wondering if I should continue replacing the maintenance tags or give it up as a lost cause Sesamevoila (talk) 05:11, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Never give up on these issues, because the editors need to learn that  they  can't  mess with  Wikipedia and and have their own way against policies. However, don't get involved in  an edit war by  replacing  the templates, but  continue to issue incremental  warnings if necessary. I'll  take a look and reply again here later. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:48, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The IP and the user are obviously the same and connecting from the same building in Bangalore. I've left  messages on all the accounts and more special  ones on  the main  account. Check them out to see what I hav done. You'll  find that  we have hundreds of problems like these from  Indian  editors. It's mostly  in  good faith  because they  don't  understand the rules (we had huge problems with our Education  Programme in Pune last year). The other problem  of course is that such articles often appear promotional (WP:PEACOCK) because they are written in Indian English which is noted for its flowery prose. While this is perfectly acceptable for the Indian sub continent, it almost always needs to be copyedited for the neutral standard English used on  Wikipedia, which is more like American or British English or the English required for the IELTS exams.

 * Hi Harish. Sesamevoila only means well. He is a very good Wikipedia editor and is from India. I  have also  lived and taught in India.

Editor review/TheGeneralUser (2) Your review is required and will be greatly appreciated :)
Hi Kudpung ! I have started my second editor review at Editor review/TheGeneralUser (2). I will be greatly delighted, thankful and valued to have your review for me regarding my editing and possible candidate for Adminship. I see you also evaluate possible candidates for Adminship as you had chosen to do so on Request an RfA nomination, so do evaluate me too! As you are a experienced and long term Wikipedian so i have asked for your kind review. Take your time to review my editing and give the best review that you can :). Feel free to ask me any questions you would like to on the review page itself. It will be a great honor to have you review me for which I will truly feel appreciated and helpful! I always work to improve Wikipedia and make it a more better place to be for Everyone :). Regards and Happy Editing! TheGeneralUser (talk) 19:15, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Adoption
Would you be willing to adopt me? I want to learn more about PERM and All types of vandalism so i can become a CVUA instructor,--Anderson - What's up? 05:43, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

PERM2
The reason i decided to stop clerking is because now i realize it isn't really appropriate if admins are watching the PERM pages.--Anderson - What's up? 06:18, 5 September 2012 (UTC)


 * There's' not really a lot  to learn about  PERM beyond reading  the descriptions of the tools/user rights on  their respective home pages, and you don't really need to know anyway  becuse you  won't  be ready  for adminship  for a very long time, and when you are, you'll know already by then. I'd like you also to  stay  away from  requests for page protection too for the same reason, except for making request there, but please don't go overboard on that either - again like at  PERM, most requests there are declined because page protection is not a silver bullet;  it's done by  admins after closely analysing the situation on the pages that might need to be protected.


 * I'm afraid I don't have enough time to mentor anyone at the moment because I'm very tied up  with  my  own  content work, looking after the pages we've discussed, and helping  to develop  other major solutions. Nevertheless, you are always most welcome to come here if you  have any  questions or need some advice.

 * However, I'll still  be watching  your edits and I'll  jump  in with  help  and advice from  time to  to  time. The first  one is why  you  ignored this before adding your comment. Have you read the advice yet in  your AN/I? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:27, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Yes.--Anderson - What's up? 02:32, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I unintentionally Added something to an IP's request at perm/c. I did remember not to, When Riley Huntly said at AN i had declined an IP's request due to the Mediawiki software not allowing anyone to add user rights for an IP editor.--Anderson - What's up? 02:33, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Anderson, from my view, you are failing to get the point. It is not about the why you closed the request, this is about you abusing the communities trust when you specially said you wouldn't. Besides, you made two edits to close that request, with the second edit you could have reverted your closure and mentioned at the AN/I that you forgot and accidently made the edit. Saying you unintentionally made the edit is not helping your situation nor the communities trust. -- Cheers,  Riley Huntley talk  02:51, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Since this discussion is now about Anderson's AN/I, please move any further comments to Administrators' noticeboard/Archive239. -- Cheers,  Riley Huntley talk  02:58, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I will. I'm halfway between - and I have sleep problems. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:22, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You also 'unitentionally'  closed part  of an ANI discussion. What people are saying is that you should stay away  from  alladmin  areas. That  mans also  PERM, RPP, and commenting  in  areas where you  yourself have insufficient  knowledge and exprience, and that  includes CVUA too. You also  need to  learn how to  format  talk  page threads properly.There comes a time when it  gets disruptive if editors have to  follow you around the site and put right  what  you  do  wrong  even if it  was in  good faith. If you don't  start  making  an effort  to  follow the advice you  have been given and agreed to, you'll  end up  being  banned from those areas, and eventually  blocked completely  from  Wikipedia. No  one wants that to  happen, least  of all  you, and we're all trying to help you understand. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:58, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

If you would have just apologized [above], this discussion would be going a whole different way. I suggest you follow the above advice. -- Cheers,  Riley Huntley talk  03:11, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I've had a look at a few things recently after you requested it, but this user didn't fall into that category... perhaps it didn't save properly?

 * That's right. For the moment you've lost the community's confidence that you can really do anything that requires responsibility. It's not just  about  your refusing to stop clerking admin areas - what you have demonstrated is that you  don't follow advice in general,  so  you're not  in  a position  to  give any  to  anyone else. Do  take Worm's advice and don't be impatient to want to take on tasks that you are not ready for. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 22:06, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Editor Review/Eventual RFA
Hello Kudpung. I read that you were willing to consider nominating editors for adminship. I tried an editor review, but a few weeks later, nothing has happened and I considered self-nominating my self for RFA with the intention of getting some feedback/constructive criticism, but I felt like that was somewhat disingenuous so I decided to ask a user willing to consider nominating people for RFA. I know right off the bat my edit count is low, but recently (the past month or so) I have gotten much more involved and hope to stay that way. So if you wouldn't mind taking a minute to give me some feedback, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Go Phightins! (talk) 03:25, 8 September 2012 (UTC) (I'm watching your page so no need for talkback)


 * Good morning. I'm looking into this for you. In  the meantime check this out and see how you  fare,  and read WP:Advice for RfA candidates and follow all  the links in  the article and its footnotes. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:07, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I've done a few quick checks of your editing  history. If you  have followed the links I gave you above and read everything  meticulously, I'm sure you will understand why you will not be ready for adminship any time yet. Running for adminship just to obtain feedback would be see in very bad light and may compromise a future run. You'll  probably find also that you have not really made enough  contributions yet for anyone to  be able to apply any metrics to your editor review. I would suggest that you read our policies on article creation, especially WP:N, and if you  read WP:NPP carefully and WP:DELETION, you  may wish to help out on new page patrol,  but  stay  away  from  any  contentious maintenance and admin areas until you have a lot more experience. You  might  also  like to  check out the work  that  the people do  at  the CVU,  and if you  get  good enough  at  it  you  may  be able to  apply  for Rollback rights. If you  need help or advice at  any  time, don't  hesitate to  ask me. Happy editing! Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:29, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Non-admin "speedy deletion decline" policy or guideline?
Hi Kudpung,

For starters, yep, I am very well aware that I should be editing en.wp's core content rather than hanging round at WP:NPP. That said, I've found a little niche there. I'm often frustrated with WP:CSD tagging for articles that don't meet the CSD criteria. I've looked all over the place, but can't find a specific policy or guideline that allows non-admins to decline CSDs. (Apart from Ignore all rules of course, which I think should be re-named "Ignore one rule".)

Could you possibly point me to a policy or guideline that may cover non-admin speedy deletion declines? --Shirt58 (talk) 11:53, 9 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Any editor in good standing can remove an incorrectly applied CSD tag and/or change the criterion, and warn the patroller. That's why those functions are available to all users in Twinkle with a CSD-Decline template in  the drop  down Twinkle menu and warning  messages. There's no  need to cite a policy  because there probably isn't one, but you  might like to  check out  WP:DELETION  and WP:CSD to  save me looking for you . Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:01, 9 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Non-admins may contest speedy deletions that are done improperly. At the end of the day, a CSD tag is just a template, although it may have bigger ramifications. Twinkle doesn't always mark the page as patrolled, so I take a look at it, and on occasion, when I find an incorrect CSD tag, I'll contest it using the CSD Helper Script. Hope this helped, Electric Catfish 00:10, 10 September 2012 (UTC).


 * In some circumstances, I could easily envision myself replacing a CSD tag - lets say A7 - with a PROD tag, or even nominating it for deletion at AfD. CSD-A7 is only for articles on living beings (i.e. individual people or animals), organizations, or web content where there is no assertion of notability whatsoever. If notability is asserted but the claims are not credible, and there are no reliable sources backing them up (this excludes self-published sources), then I would be inclined to add a PROD tag on the basis that I highly doubt it would survive AfD. Then of course, there are new articles in which notability is asserted, there are reliable sources, but someone still slaps a CSD tag on it. I'd be bold and remove it because it clearly does meet the threshold for an acceptable article, at least on face value (whether it would survive at AfD, who knows until it's nominated).

Page Curation update
Hey all :). We've just deployed another set of features for Page Curation. They include flyouts from the icons in Special:NewPagesFeed, showing who reviewed an article and when, a listing of this in the "info" flyout, and a general re-jigging of the info flyout - we've also fixed the weird bug with page_titles_having_underscores_instead_of_spaces in messages sent to talkpages, and introduced CSD logging! As always, these features will need some work - but any feedback would be most welcome. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 18:20, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

 * This reminds me of my first trip to ANI. I used an edit summary like this and instead of a peaceful talk page discussion I got a chastising at ANI.

RFPP - Beast Cops
Thanks for the heads-up at RFPP. I couldn't make heads or tails of what was going on there (I didn't see how it was vandalism at all), but a little digging showed that the IPs were running amok on that and several other articles. The editors continually reverting them weren't helping matters at all, so I just took the article to RFPP and the IPs to AIV. If I felt like I knew a little more of the background, I would have just taken the whole lot to ANEW. As it is, at least one of the confirmed accounts involved ended up at ANEW anyway (IIRC). Thanks again, cheers! --Tgeairn (talk) 03:35, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

PERM3
Hi Kudpung. I know you're against non-admin observations at PERM, and was wondering if this decline for reviewer from a non-admin is considered appropriate? Obviously, the user shouldn't have the right, but I didn't know non-admins were allowed to deny requests. TRLIJC19 ( talk  •  contribs ) 03:45, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello, TRLIJC19. Non-admins may close permission requests, just like AfD's. I usually stay away from clerking, and frown upon it when others do it but when it is a request from a user with 14 mainspace edits, I think it is appropriate to decline the request. <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; font-weight: bold; cursor: crosshair;">-- Cheers, Riley Huntley  talk 03:55, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Such work is  often attributed to a kind of hat-collection by aspiring RfA candidates (it will show as edits to  PERM on  their edit count breakdown). I have tried many times to do  something  about  it but  without  success. The only thing  I  can do  is to  get  in  first  with  admin  closures, which is the reason  why  I  have been working  on  PERM  for the past  few weeks. However, I can't be online 24/24, and there is only  a handful  of admins that  watch  the PERM  pages. That said, no requests are ever urgent, and there is no  need (again  in  my  opinion)for this kind of 'clerking'. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:58, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

I will  just  add that  masquerading  as admins will  even seriously  compromise a user's eventual request  for adminship. In order not  to  confuse new editors into  believing  that  such  comments come from admins, if at all necessary  (and in  most  cases they  are not), good faith non admin comments should contain a mention that the user is not an admin. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:41, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

A comment you made on RFPP
Hi Kudpung, I noticed a comment you made on the Innocence of Muslims request and I just had a quick question about it. You mentioned that "any editor in good standing with sufficient neutral subject knowledge can revert to a stable version", I was just wondering if this was through making an edit request on the talk page, or if there was something else I haven't discovered yet? Regards, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:12, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I am  concerned that  the socks may  have sleepers, but it's not  possible to  do  a full-protect followed by  a semi in  one go, which  would have been ideal  here. Edit  requests should be made to restore to  a stable version, and when that  expires, any editors in  good standing  can continue to  revert  and warn users and make new PP requests if the disruption  continues, and/or report  users to  an appropriate noticeboard. Continued vigilance is required to detect new socks on this highly controversial article. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:30, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Right I see what you mean now, thanks. Just a quick note, I wasn't questioning your action, just what you meant by reverting to a stable version. Thanks, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:59, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't understand that either. Also, where do you see the allegations of socks? There was only a request for semi-protection at RFPP and I don't see any evidence of any substantial edit warring or anything else which might show socks in the history. I'm guessing that maybe you wanted to pick semi-protection instead of full protection, since you also suggested that any editor in good standing can revert. However, I happen to agree that the article should be fully protected, because people have been trying to revert certain information away from a related article which I think is essential. But I might ask that you reduce from 3 days down to 1 or 2? &mdash; Cup co  05:29, 13 September 2012 (UTC)


 * My take at  WP:RFPP is that in order to  prevent  further disruption relative urgency  is often required to  act  on  a request. Too  many  RFPP  requests expect  the admins to  review 100s of edits and asses which  ones are right  and which  ones are wrong. What  we sometimes do  is revert to  what  we feel  is a stable version  before the recent  trouble started, but  unfortunately, not  being  experts on  the subject matter, this is often not possible. The actual clean up relys on the due diligence of the article's regular good faith  editors. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:34, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I see. In that case you might want to keep an eye on the editprotecteds (3 so far) at the bottom of Talk:Innocence of Muslims. &mdash; Cup co  05:36, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * When I intervene to  protect a page, I  become WP:INVOLVED - I  have a very  conservative interpretation  as to  what I may or may  not do as an admin. I therefore do  not  adjudicate on the accuracy  of the requested edits; I  leave that up to non involved admins. However, in  deference to  the fact  that the article was only  recently  created, I have reduced the FPP to 1 day. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:50, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I think that will work out very well in this case. The news organizations have been interviewing the actors and actresses who have made a joint statement. With luck all of their reports will be checked and published by 24 hours from your protection. &mdash; Cup co  05:56, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You may  wish  also  to  check (as I  had)  just  how many  contributors have already  been blocked, and how many  of the IPs stem  from  the same range. You  may  well  find that any future IPs and new accounts that  are created to  edit  this article may  already  have a Wikipedia history. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:10, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Criticism
Good day. Instead of simply criticizing, you might take a minute to notice that I spend a great deal of time working on articles to assist editors. I often also provide help at their talk pages and welcome them with information about the various links they might find helpful. The only submissions I decline quickly are as follows: blank pages, pages not in English, pages without any references at all, advertisements, nonsense pages of people who write single lines boasting about the prowess, good looks, best friend, etc., pages that read like diary entries etc. Rather than leave a braod, non-specific criticism on my talk page, it would be more constructive if you were specific. If you feel I have improperly or unfairly declined an article, please advise me the name(s) of those articles and I will undo my decline. If you are simply referring to the one instance where a partial sentence submitted as an article alerted you to the fact that writer was actually asking for assistance regarding their status, as I have already indicated, that wasn't clear at all to me or I would have assisted as I always do when asked. Have a terrific day. Snowysusan 10:12, 13 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. I am known for being sometimes blunt, while nevertheless always polite and helpful. I spend a lot of my time helping new users where others can't be bothered to. AfC, like NPP, the CVUA, and a few other maintenance areas, is largely staffed by new and inexperienced users themselves, so I don't always take the time to  wade through all their edits to  see if they  are getting  it right. That  said I  have over 10,000 articles on  my  watchlist and another 7,000 user talk  pages. I have now randomly checked some of your AfC declines and find you are doing a reasonably good job, but the issue with TruePepito  still stands as a 'criticism' because it  was obvious. You  may also wish to  correctly  format your signature with links to your user and talk  page - especially  where you  are doing  a job where many people may  wish  to  reply  to  you and/or find out  more about  you. Have a nice day, and if you  ever need help or advice, don't hesitate to ask me here. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:23, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

HELP
Hi,

I wanted to know whether I can rename a file at the commons for the reason Disambiguate? The auto-script doesn't provide that option. So can i manually edit the page with rename media and give the reason as #7-Disambiguate? I asked this to SvenManguard but he isn't online. Thanks Harsh (talk)  15:49, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It all depends on the file/name, really. As you observed, to add a custom reason you cannot use the script, it must be done manually. On commons, criterion #7 is not the same as criterion #7 on Wikipedia, so don't add "#7" because it will probably be rejected because criterion #7 does not apply to the image. Could I please know the file name? If the request seems appropriate, I will move it. <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; font-weight: bold; cursor: crosshair;">-- Cheers, Riley Huntley  talk 18:49, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

why did you delets voles airlines. i'm only 8 years old — Preceding unsigned comment added by Love2puddings (talk • contribs) 01:41, 14 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Love2Puddings. Voles airlines was deleted because we couldn't  find any  proof that  it  exists - we don't  include articles about  made up  stuff. I sent  you  a message over a month ago suggesting you improve the article to  avoid it  being  deleted but  you  didn't  reply. We  then did some checking and found that  it was not about  a real  airline at  all.  Wikipedia can be a difficult place to  write articles for - that's why it's usually done by grownups.

List of largest peaceful gatherings.
Hello. I just saw your question. It was not a casuality. As you could see, the date of the gathering was the same own day than the war of edits, which started a fight for cyphers since a political side claimed 2 million people had asisted and the other claimed they had been less than 500,000 people. Then both sides started using the article to mock the other political side, and were posting it on blogs, websites, etc. I tried to protect it (by undoing edits and by asking for protection) since I was afraid the war could affect other, more important and realistic entries. 85.219.58.184 (talk) 19:09, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello Kudpung, if you get a chance could you advise in this case, possibly by sending me a copy of the deleted article if permitted?

 * The new PC hasn't been deployed yet  so actual  role for Reviewers hasn't  been clarified and are still  under discussion.

 * Is it not true that the trial PC will commence from December 1 ? Harsh (talk)  09:43, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * AFAIK, they are still  drafting  the proposals for an RfC for the community  to  decide hiow it  will  deployed. if I  have understood correctly, if they  haven't  reached a consensus by  then, the PC will  go  ahead as per the default  suggested in  the RfC to  implement  it. The discussion(s) is/are such  a mess (for me anyway) I  gave up  following  them. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:11, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Can you explain me one flaw with PC being the reason for which it wasn't extended to more articles. I mean it is so much better than semi-protection. And why wasn't there any proposal to merge the reviewer rights of editors with rollbackers, because rollbackers already understand vandalism and they can review the pages they are concerned with. Harsh (talk)  10:39, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * To be absolutely  honest, the first  deployment  of PC a couple of years ago was highly  controversial. In  fact  around 5,000 'Reviewer' accounts were created  simply  by  a bot. I  woke up  one morning  to  find I  was a Reviewer (in  the days long  before I  became an admin) and didn't  have the foggiest idea what it  was all about. To  this day, I reserve my  opinion on  the merits of PC, and will simply implement any rules (as an admin)  that I will be expected to do. For the last two years or more I have been more concerned with  the lack  of control over who  can patrol new pages which needs a far greater level of experience and knowledge of policy than any  of these minor rights. Part of my  work  contributed to  getting  a new NPP feed developed and rewriting  the WP:NPP  page into  a kind of tutorial. There is also  the problem  that  these minor rights are clearly seen as trophies by  many rather than simply  a job  to  be done like NPP (which  doesn't  give the users a badge to  wear). Having  partly  followed some of the discussions, there appears to  be some distinction  between Rollbacker and Reviewer, but  as the opinions are mixed, I  can't  characterise on  it. What  I  would would  like to  see in  the future would be a right  that  combines Rollbacker, Reviewer, and NPPer all in  one, and with  some minimum  criteria for experience for it. Naturally the hat-collectors would object and vote it  down  though. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:58, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Yes, that is so true. But then, why you don't start some discussion in village pump. I think Rollback+Reviewer+NPP into one right with some added min criteria will be supported. Harsh (talk)  11:09, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * You've probably noticed that  I'm  a very  busy  admin  and I  can't  do  everything  at  once! While the WMF has taken on  the role of developing  NPP  solutions, I  am  a mere unpaid volunteer ;) What  you  have suggested  however, is already on  the cards and drafted, but  I  will  wait  until  the outcome of PC is settled, and seen it  working  for a while, and seen what  happens when we get  the CVUA problems sorted out. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:25, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * "Naturally the hat-collectors would object and vote it down though" ... actually, I'm not so sure they would. After all, it would be a new style of hat (albeit just a combination of three existing hats), and if there's one thing hat-collectors love, it's new hats! Even if you laid down a set of minimum requirements to get it, one suspects the first thing they would be thinking, is how to edit in order to meet those requirements. Or, how to persuade you to reduce the requirements so that it could be potentially within their reach. Not how to vote down the proposal. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 11:44, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Hahah...I agree. if there's one thing hat-collectors love, it's new hats! . Harsh (talk)  11:49, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Valid points, Demiurge. What I am privy to, however, are the free comments boxes in the NPP survey I initiated a year  ago. Among  the 3,000 or so respondents, the answers to neutrally  phrased questions  were split  50/50 for and against  a user right  for NPP. Interestingly, the reasons either way  were varied. Some said we have enough  user rights already -  which  is understandable, while some simply  argued that  because WP  is the 'pedia anyione can edit, it  should be the one anyone can 'unedit'. Among  those who  were for an NPP right, were users who  suggested that  maturity  and experience are required for the task and that  some control  should be introduced, while others appeared to  welcome the thought  of yet another hat to  collect. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:57, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Introducing a new right would obviously create a problem, but merging all powers of three rights into one might not. Harsh (talk)  12:07, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Which not  only  would introduce some economy  of work for the two  or thee admins who regulalry watch  the PERM pages, but  also, if the bar were high  enough, assure some quality.  Demiurge is on  the ball  with   'one suspects the first thing they would be thinking, is how to edit in order to meet those requirements'   - which  is a poignant  reality I'm  well  aware of as I've seen with  all  my  chasing  of the 100-edits newbies away  from  'clerking'  admin areas, but  if we are able to  sort the wheat from  the chaff, some good may  come of it.

Hantavirus Risk in Yosemite
Hi, I noticed you have helped reduced the duration of User:173.63.176.93's block because of reasons that I cannot see. However, I assume it has something to do with his involvement with Yosemite National Park's Talk Page. Recently, I have also tried to add a section acknowledging its the Hantavirus Risk in Yosemite National Park, but my edit was similarly dismissed by User:Jojhutton. If the mention of deaths is the issue, then I believe we can include the information without directly mentioning the deaths.

I have written a new draft of this edit in one of my subpages: User:Airelor/Yosemite_National_Park.

Please take a look and suggest any other edits or make any changes as you see fit before I try to add it to the main Yosemite_National_Park page.

Most importantly, he's been blocked before: User talk:Lecen/Archive 12 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=noticeboard&prefix=User+talk%3ALecen%2F&fulltext=Search+archives&fulltext=Search

Look at the tone and the threats Lecen has been up to. Nothing justifies that kind of threat, not even if he happened to be right. I was taking a look through his talk page archives, and he has a huge record of trolling like that and has reported other users to the Administrator's Noticeboard due to edit conflicts in the past. I was going to post a complaint myself, but decided to inform you first.

For how long do we have to tolerate bullies like that? I. N. Keller (talk) 22:52, 16 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I've checked the links you provided but there's nothing I can do about it here. If you feel you have a case that may justify admin action on current or recent issues, the place to take it is WP:AN/I, but note that citing very old issues probably won't cut ice. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:21, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh well. I'm not sure I can be bothered, really. But he *is* very unscrupulous. His kind is very common in the Portuguese Wikipedia - older users who revert newcomers's contributions and refuse to discuss it; if you try to get attention, they report you to other administrators or block you themselves (my first few contributions there, a few years ago, were all reversed and they refused to even answer my posts in the talk pages, so I left after only a week). I remember seeing a news piece on the technology section of a big news website about how that was the reason the pt.wiki was losing contributors. I hope the same is not happening to the English Wikipedia.


 * Thanks and sorry for disturbing you again. I. N. Keller (talk) 01:35, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Kudpung. I've not quite figured out who Imnotkeller is/was, but they are obviously a returning editor trolling Lecen; an SPA "wise" beyond the 49 edits on this account. Br'er Rabbit (talk) 03:29, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * We have many editors who appear to be 'wise beyond their years'. It may be someone who edited for a long time (as I did) as an IP before registering. I think you'll have to AGF on this until you find some reasonably conclusive evidence to the contrary. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:58, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah, AGF; enabling the disruptive for years. There's still the SPA contrib history and the apparent collusion of the same folks badgering Lecen on all manner of requested moves in South America (and Portugal;) concerning Portuguese/Spanish (and Anglicisation of) terms. There's a history of socks in those discussions, too. FYI, I'm only using one account in there ;> Br'er Rabbit (talk) 04:34, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * As I said, if you  have sufficient  evidence, feel  free to  take it  to  the appropriate noticeboard, but  you'll  need to  provide diffs. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:37, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I have, indeed, been editing Wikipedia since at least 2005 (probably before that), and have even made some mid to large-sized contributions, mostly as an IP address. I've also had a few accounts whose names and passwords I have long forgotten, as I will surely forget this one not long from now. So do take one suggestion from me: don't waste your time, I won't care at all if this account is blocked. In fact, I haven't stopped editing as an IP address, I use proxies (semi-private ones), and I have internet access at more than one location where I live (including public hostpots and some of my computer-illiterate neighboors's open ones); my home IP is also dynamic, in case you're wondering. Despite all that, I have never vandalised a single letter on Wikipedia, and have even reverted vandalism. And, please, Rabbit, if you want to troll, feel free to do it at my talk page (it's not like I ever look at it, anyway), it's very rude to keep pestering poor Kudpung - I've pestered him enough already. Go back to 4chan. I. N. Keller (talk) 05:06, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

CVU/NPP
Hi Kudpung! I love your suggestion the new CV School and I hope the rest of the CVUAers agree. I think that recruiting more admins for the CVUA would be quite beneficial and keep the project on the right foot. Here is an odd hoax I caught on NPP tonight - I never knew that there was an impending crisis in Africa! Best, Electric Catfish 00:57, 19 September 2012 (UTC).


 * Whether the CVUers agree or not, except for a reformatted home page and a rather good, summarised syllabus, the main underlying issues have not been addressed. Issues with  students and instructors  continue to  arise, while the social  'clerking' with  all  its mini templates continues up to a few hours ago. Projects are not  owned -  even by  the listed project  members. The consent  by  the CVUers is not  required for a change. More than sufficient  concerns have been expressed by  mature experienced users and admins and any changes will probably be made per WP:BRD. One 'coordinator' has apparently  already  resigned. My  draft  proposal  puts everything  on  one page and requires neither clerks, coordinators, bureaucracy, heirarchy, nor the use of dozens of miniature templates and micro discussions. Hopefully  this will  also  lead to  a drop  in  premature requests for user rights and unnecessary  clerking  of admin  areas. In  my  opinion, it  would be better to  adopt the new proposal  than to  risk  the CVUA being closed down  completely or merged to  another mentoring  program  where it  would add confusion, dilute the efficiency, and risk  again  being  controlled by  users who  may  not  have sufficient  experience or maturity for project  management. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:23, 19 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I've been more involved in WP: UMPIRE, a project that focuses on content recently. There is no bureaucracy and there are no coordinators, although one of our members successfully nominated another member for adminship recently. They also convinced me to write my first article. Umpires articles receive much vandalism, so we are considering setting up an Umpires patrol as part of the task force. We also hope to bring Joe West (umpire) or Jim Joyce to GA status, as well as getting a DYK for Chris Conroy (one of my first articles). I'd like to add some things to the syllabus section of the CV School draft, so do I have permission to edit it? Thanks, Electric Catfish 16:54, 19 September 2012 (UTC).


 * I am very concerned that the page should stay as short as possible. I even believe I have left too much text in it. You can edit it, but I may revert it if I think it is not appropriate. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 19:01, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * All I have to say is for someone who said that he would stay out of the CVUA he seems extremly involved. The current trial was started because of you and we decided it was best to trial the system. But, about halfway through the trial, when you said "dans comment pretty much sums it up, there is no accountability" that was because of you because you said we should do away with all requirements. During the trial Vert had the great idea to have a curriclum, which we would have implemented too. Also, was anyone really thinking about closing down the CVUA or is that just a scaretactic? Ultimately, all this led to a total restructure of the project from someone, who said he wasn't going to be there. Dan653 (talk) 23:05, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Case Lecen, part 2
Hello, there. I'm Lecen, a.k.a. "the Evil one" according to someone above. I'd like to request you to talk to Imnotkeller and stop him from insulting me and the other users who have opposed the move request. This is not acceptable and neither is calling us "trolls". Also, this kind of reply is also unhelpful. You will notice that I made two or three comments at most on the discussion on that talk page. None of them directed to Imnotkeller. Please, talk to him and warn him that there are better ways to deal with other users. Regards, --Lecen (talk) 09:52, 19 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, but  my  talk  page is not  part of the dispute resolution department and I  have marked the previous discussion  as closed. If you have concerns about  another user please take it to an appropriate noticeboard. Remember that  any  user is perfectly  entitled to  officially  warn another user. After attempts at  discussion and a correct number of warnings without result, then escalate, but I  would advise however against going  to  WP:AN/I unless you  have a complaint that clearly requires admin action and can be supported by  diffs which  you  should list. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:11, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I would have gone to the ANI if I wanted to see him blocked, which isn't the case. I believe blocks should be carried on as last resorts. What I asked you, since he chose you as somekind of mediator, was to remind him that he should focus on content, not on an editor. --Lecen (talk) 10:31, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I have repeatedly given everyone the same response: take the complaints to  a noticeboard. Please understand that  this is now closed as far as I am  concerned. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:37, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * He already did. In fact, reporting me to ANI was the very first thing he did, a few hours after my edit and before even joining the discussion in the talk page. I. N. Keller (talk) 10:41, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

I'm closing  this again. Please take your petty squabbles elsewhere. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:48, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

User:Galaxycat - Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled
Thanks for your guidance - My apologies, I said new pages, when I should have said unique pages. I was impressed that this user often made very large edits of a good quantity, rather than the few words many editors add at a time (myself included). I had consulted [Wikipedia:Autopatrolled]]. I do see your points as valid, and now see that Galaxycat needs to do more work - and in particular more quoting of reliable sources.

 * I'm not going  to  vote on  that  AfD bbut  here's my  take on  the sources:

Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:51, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * http://trademark.markify.com/trademarks/ctm/salty+fingers/010225423 Reliable. Confirms the name but does not add to  notability
 * http://sauceobsessive.blogspot.de/2012/02/fci-demo-from-sandro-romano-chef-de.html Personal blog. Not a reliable source. Fleeting  mention  and a photo.
 * http://centraleurope.koppertcress.com/en/content/salty-fingers Possibly reliable. Not sure if this kind of website adds to  notability.
 * http://www.faz.net/aktuell/feuilleton/f-a-z-gourmetvison-die-rueckkehr-der-ente-11592344.html Newspaper. i'm a bilingual  English-German speaker but  I  can't  find any  mention of it  amongst all  this Feinschmekerei.
 * http://www.gourmetglobe.de/kolumnen/tempel-on-tour/1241-eine-neue-schoepfung-kohlund-zier-und-elverfeld-auf-sylt.html Possibly  a mainstream gastronomy  publication.,  but  I  don't  see what  it  has to  do  with  the subject. Only  a very  fleeting  mention  of Salty  Fingers.
 * http://www.papillesetpupilles.fr/2012/08/salty-fingers.html/ French  recipe site. Author believes 'Salty Fingers' are German words. Not  sure if such  sites assert notability for a plant without  any  taxonomic data.

Thank you for your remarks. As regards the references, I have added a few new referencess but you may have overlooked the mentioning of ssalty Fingers in FAZ (if you use the search function). What it simply shows is, that recipes containing Salty Fingers are being used and discussed even by the most distinguished newspapers. Regards, Akolyth (talk) 12:23, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Requesting a comment on prose on Peter Schiff article
Hi Kudpung. Could you take a quick look at the discussion on | Talk:Peter Schiff and add your perspective?

At issue is the following phrase: "Krugman quoted Schiff from December 2009 as stating:" Previously, the article read as "Krugman quoted and referred to the following statement by Schiff from December, 2009:"

SPECIFICO believes the revised phrase may be interpreted as Krugman attributing an unsourced idea to Schiff whereas I do not see this implication. On the otherhand, I see the phrase "quoted and referred to" as redundant phrasing.

This is the major issue I would like to have feedback on; if it is not too much trouble, I would appreciate if you could give feedback on the usage of "Keynesian" in the context of the article.

Thanks! K♪monkey @( '_' )@  Talk⇉✌  20:22, 21 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I understand your dilemma, but the best place to ask for impartial advice would be at a noticeboard such as WP:3O. That said, whatever the choice of language by  Wkipedia editors, any  quotations should either be reported accurately and of course be perfectly  referenced or left  out  altogether. Having looked a the talk  page discussion however, perhaps if it  continues on its current polite lines, you may be able to resolve this among yourselves.

 * Hello. I fully  understand that  our rules and policies are not  adequately  explained to  new users and can be confusing, but there is unfortunately nothing I can do about that. This article was in  fact deleted due to not meeting several Wikipedia criteria:


 * 1) The article was a close paraphrasing of several web sources including, but not only, this and this. Please see Copyright violations.
 * 2) Wikipedia's basic notability criterion is "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". This coverage should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. The sources provided were not reliable or did not  provide sufficient  coverage in   number, depth, focus, and scope.  If the subject is known for his work, third party sources are needed which discuss this. The subject seems like he could be notable enough for an article, but the sourcing needs to be addressed. Are there perhaps some news articles, books or magazine reviews, which discuss the subject?
 * 3) As the subject's agent, you and/or your co-workers should not be creating  or editing Wikinpedia articles about subjects you  are closely  related to. Please see Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. This also  applies to the original  creator of the article and any edits made by IP adresses that locate to  these editors,  your company, and/or any  of the computers used.
 * If you  feel  you  can write a new, neutral  version, in  which  all  claims  are perfectly  referenced and sourced with  footnotes that comply  with  WP:BIO for biographies, WP:RS for sources, and WP:V for verifiability, you  can start  a new article in  you  user space at User:Metronomemus/Thomas Hewitt Jones (draft) where it  will  be reviewed by  an established editor  before being  moved to  mainspace.

Catarse Crowdfunding platform
Hi there, I'm the user who wanted to read about Catarse, but found that the article had been deleted, so went ahead and started a create/delete ping-pong match. So now, after seeing it has been deleted a third time, I went through reading all the links I was directed to, such as:

CSD Why_was_the_page_I_created_deleted%3F Field_guide_to_proper_speedy_deletion Why_I_Hate_Speedy_Deleters

as well as the few links you provided on your talk page. I've always known Wikipedia to be a huge project, but now I'm getting an idea about how complicated all the policies and procedures can be...WOW!

Anyways, I'd like to be able to continue working on the Catarse article to get it to an acceptable level of quality. As open-source software, I understand that Catarse being software available for download on GitHub rather than web content excludes it from qualifying under A7, as mentioned at [Wikipedia:NOTCSD#Non-criteria], does it not?

I truly believe this is an important step in changing how businesses are funded By taking a similar step to Wikipedia's own inception and making the platform itself available to the public, Catarse allows anyone with an internet connection to start their own Crowd-funding service, something none of the other competitors allows.

I need to go to sleep now, because I work 12 hours of physycal labour per day, and need to rest.

Thank-you

 * Hi. The article was deleted three times already. That means that  it  has been reviewed by  five experienced editors, two  of whom  are admins. Wikipedia's basic notability criterion is "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". This coverage should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. The current sources provided are not reliable (for instance the blog post), or not independent (such as hthe primary  source website). If the subject is known for its use, third party sources are needed which discuss this,. The subject seems like it could be notable enough for an article, but the sourcing needs to be addressed.
