Question about the etiquette on creating a disambiguation page
The word Geocentric goes to a redirect page to the entry for "Geocentric model". There is another definition of Geocentric. I would like to make a disambiguation page which would point to a new page on Geocentric coordinate systems as used in mapping and GPS technology.

I posted a comment to the Geocentric model discussion page (in case anyone is watching it) to see if there needs to be some kind of vote or something. What is the etiquette for this? Is it good form to just take over the redirect page, turn it into a disambiguation page and move on?

I'm not going to edit the existing Geocentric model page...

Thanks in advance Jlhollin (talk) 18:38, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

UBX/Science
Hi, Mentifesto. The word "science" in the userbox is sentence-capitalised purely because I think it looks nice. Uncompelling, yes, but I wasn't aiming for grammatical accuracy when I made it – if I were, I'd use a full stop at the end. I'd prefer to keep the userbox as it is. You're more than welcome to make a userbox of your own if you'd like: more science userboxes are better than fewer. Cheers. – Liveste (talk • edits) 22:02, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

VideoAge International page
Hi. I'm making a page about a business and it keeps getting reverted back to it's original version that's quite dreadful by a bot or occasionally you. The original is terrible, but there's another version in the archives that's a great many times better. If you could insure that this second version stays (I hope you agree that it's better) that would be great, as I'm new to Wikipedia and not the greatest editor. A few edits were changes because a YouTube link was posted, but I can assure you it was not spam but rather a link to the business' youtube chanel. Again I really hope you can help.

Pages blanked by author
Hi. Though page blanking is usually vandalism and needs to be reverted, it is worth looking first at the page history, because quite often the author has blanked his own page, as was the case with Ben boylett just now. In those cases the best thing is to tag it. It can be confusing for an author who realises his page is inappropriate and blanks it, if his page is at once restored and he is accused of vandalism for the blanking and told it was unconstructive. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:35, 15 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Usually they blank it to also blank the db tag though, so that's why I thought it's not usually necessary just to re-tag it. -- Menti  fisto  19:40, 15 February 2009 (UTC)


 * You did something similar, just now, at Holly Springs Baptist Church (Pickens, SC). Please, "Assume Good faith"! Wuhwuzdat (talk) 23:57, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Thanks for the help - I told the other party they were "a bit naughty", the user has apologised and I have accepted so hopefully we will be able to carry on the discussions without that sort of thing happening again.

Thanks for the link to refactoring, it may be of bebefit in the next day or two when we have to cut the page size down with archiving - I will probably push for a FAQ discussion and summary

The article was edited due to a number of inaccuracies including the fact that the actual legal name is Kiwi International Airlines. Kiwi Travel international Airlines was changed in 1995 to Kiwi International Airlines. The number of convictions asserted by the original authors is wrong. Wilson was convicted on 4 charges of misuse of a document. The comments regarding the security commission cannot be found in the Securities Commission report.

John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" edit war
Hi sir. I was looking at the Working Class Hero article and saw a sizable chunk dedicated to Green Day. This is not appropiate as many other artist have made a cover version of this song. Please don't revert my edits by explaining that I did not have a reason which I certainly posted.

User:91.153.136.16
Hi... I noticed your note on this user's talk page. I'm getting a soapy feeling about the ELs. I'm thinking about removing them per External_links: "11. Links to... personal web pages, except those written by a recognized authority." I looked at the site, googled around about it: I don't see any evidence the writer is a "recognized authority". What do you think? --Rrburke(talk) 17:39, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, way too many articles to be an authority on. Besides, they're like dictionary definitions and we don't usually link to every entry from a single dictionary on every article. -- Menti  fisto  17:43, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * What about this? This appears to be someone's personal website.  Nice pics and all, and the guy is an architect, but the simple fact of being an architect doesn't make you a "recognized authority".  --Rrburke(talk) 17:58, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is just a personal website spread all over articles after all. They might as well link to google images for every article... if people want to find out more the resources are available. -- Menti  fisto  18:07, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, fellow RC patroller
Hi, I've recently started spending a heap of my time patrolling the Recent Changes, and have been reverting possible vandalism (lots of anonymous IP-based content deletions), I was wondering if you have any tips to give me on mopping up vandalism? Flaming Grunt 09:48, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, since you seem to use TW to do the job (which is a great program... just isn't optimized for rollback) huggle is an even better utility for patrolling. Much faster and efficient. Although first you'd need to request rollback (which is the best tool in itself for reversion since it communicates directly with the software). -- Menti  fisto  09:52, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for your feedback. I'll try Huggle tomorrow. ;) Flaming Grunt 10:04, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, I wanted to tell you that I've made a custom Bookmarklet for posting general warning into vandalists' pages:

javascript:void(document.getElementById('wpTextbox1').innerHTML+='\n\n==Vandalism==\n \n\n');
 * Basically, it just appends the vandalism3 template as a stern warning to the user talk page
 * A level 3 warning to begin with? Do you bookmark this and access it every time you want to warn them? -- Menti  fisto  10:10, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism reversion
Umm... yeah, I know the level 3 is a bit straight there, but it is quite convenient for me.

Would huggle do the job automatically so I can dump my level 3 bookmarklet? Flaming Grunt 10:14, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, with one click of a button huggle both reverts and warns. :-) -- Menti  fisto  10:16, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow... Huggle is really better than TW for reversions... Getting huggle now... Flaming Grunt 10:17, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Because commentaries shouldn't be in an encyclopedia and because of violating NPOV.

 * Hey Berig... no problem. I thought you were doing good and so would probably pass (had no idea that you were admin before though). In regards to the latter, it would be weird reciprocation, I suppose. -- Menti  fisto  17:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, I don't know whether it would be a wierd reciprocation. I have seen you do a lot of vandal fighting and you have a high edit count. However, I probably shouldn't push you. Going through an RfA is not a nice experience.--Berig (talk) 18:56, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, but besides that not much else (like you, with article building). It wouldn't be a nice experience because I don't have any GAs... I've been a gnome at heart, so far, so people will complain about that (and about the weird reciprocation bit - I meant that it would seem like we're exchanging nominations, which I don't suppose is normally sensible). But do you really think I've done well up to now? -- Menti  fisto  19:09, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * You are probably right. It would look like we were exchanging nominations, and I never thought that far. I just want you to know that I am grateful. As I had been an admin back in 2005 and I had effectively de-admined myself voluntarily, I really wondered whether I would ever go back to my former status as an admin. Just tell me if I can help you out with anything.--Berig (talk) 19:18, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Certainly, if I'm ever in need. :-) I think you could have been re-admined if you talked with a steward although I suppose re-gaining the trust using another username was appropriate (Keilana did a similar thing some time ago). -- Menti  fisto  19:30, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

admins and edits
if a person reaches a level four warning is their account deleted or is there a more severe punishment? if their account is simply deleted what stops them from creating a new account?
 * Accounts aren't really ever deleted but after the warnings (which are manual - MediaWiki doesn't do anything) they're reported to WP:AIV and blocked if necessary. If they create an account and start vandalizing again then the same happens and may be reported to WP:SSP (and a possible checkuser) if people notice the connection. -- Menti  fisto  03:17, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Caction tool
Hey Mentifisto. That was actually an intentional feature – the toolbox links only appear on base user and user talk pages, so it seemed logical to have the links solely in the user options menu, keeping things the same on all user pages. If you want, there's a new option which you can configure to suppress the removal of the toolbox links. (The links will still appear in the user options menu; since MediaWiki doesn't add the toolbox links on user/user talk subpages, having the menu links will still be useful in some cases.) haz (talk) 20:48, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion tags
Usually admins will delete accompanying talk pages of articles they deleted. So there's no need to tag both the article and the talk page. If they do forget to delete the talk page, you could then just use the CSD G8 tag. Killiondude (talk) 18:25, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

hi
fair call just dont like that guy. got a question though, how come vandalism is immediately picked up, but when i lament on state of minds discussion page that the article is out of date, it will go unnoticed for months? 121.98.147.250 (talk) 02:04, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Because vandalism (or any edits) could be seen at Special:RecentChanges. Patrollers might see the message on the talk page but since most probably they aren't interested in the band they won't do anything. You'd need to contact someone who is - User_talk:Nzmusichead began the article but hasn't edited since then. Or you can of course improve it yourself. :-) -- Menti  fisto  02:10, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * so to really bring change I need to vandalise that article to draw attention to it?121.98.147.250 (talk) 02:12, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No... if there's nobody that could improve it nobody would. Vandalizing will only attract negative attention. -- Menti  fisto  02:13, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * meh... hopefully someone will verify it as opposed to just deleting it.... 121.98.147.250 (talk) 02:24, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not usually deleted if it's not blatant vandalism. Only controversial edits that are unsourced are deleted mostly. -- Menti  fisto  02:27, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
