User talk:Reaper Eternal/Archive 11

Recreating kaioo?
Hi, you deleted kaioo in August as a result of an A7 speedy deletion request. I believe the site is rather significant and unique, in that it has received media coverage for being a non-profit social network that lets users vote on how to donate its proceeds. A previous version of the article pointed out this uniqueness, but later versions de-emphasized that point, so that the ultimate deletion decision was justified. Would you be ok with me recreating the article and highlighting the site's significance? Cheers, AxelBoldt (talk) 18:10, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Feedback Dashboard task force
Hi Reaper Eternal,

Since you were a part of the WikiGuides project, I thought I'd give you a heads-up about a new way you can help/mentor newbies on en.wiki: we've recently released a feature called the Feedback Dashboard, a queue that updates in real time with feedback and editing questions from new registered contributors who have attempted to make at least one edit. Steven Walling and I are putting together a task force for experienced Wikipedians who might be interested in monitoring the queue and responding to the feedback: details are here at Feedback Dashboard. Please sign up if you're interested in helping out! Thanks, Maryana (WMF) (talk) 22:07, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Protection Complaint
What the hell were you thinking protecting User:Sitush? That page has hardly had any vandalism, and user pages of admins I thought were only protected! It looks to me like you did it cause you like the user. That user can get a little mean, and messes up articles like Yadav and Kim Kardashian, and definitely doesn't deserve it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GreenMario1993 (talk • contribs) 21:45, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Please look at this ip editor at 190.46.95.25 & 190.45.54.212
This ip editor 190.45.54.212 has been edit warring ; making personal attacks: and  and is being generally disruptive.

 * I left a civil note of Wikipedia policies and warning after he already cussed me out, and threatened me on my talk page. In my opinion he vandalised my talkpage. With that said, I will not edit war with him and if he comes back around to articles I edit will give him a chance like anyone else. I don't like to waste my time on baloney. The matter is now moot anyway. Kierzek (talk) 13:50, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Reaper Eternal, I am the beginner in Wikipedia, but would like to become an admin sometime, so your kind assistance would be very useful to me.

Sorry for being M.I.A. for so long, but that last quarter was very tough, and left me no time for wiki activities (adminning, writing articles, copyediting, and so forth).

 * Umm, what exactly does that mean? lol C T J F 8 3  19:48, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Basically, filter 294 has a list of people (like you, NawlinWiki, Bsadowski1, Gfoley4, myself, and Elockid) and a huge regex describing what cannot be added to these people's userpages. It is horribly difficult to maintain and debug due to its incredible size, which is why I called it a "laundry list". Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:52, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Article
the ISI article is locked for my editing

Seeing as you are and admin, and the article is blocked from my editing, I wanted to include the offician denial from the goverment to the allegations

"Whilst the Provincial Government says it is doing its best to improve law and order and end target killing which it blames on rival factional fighting.As many as 985 people have been sentenced so far while the cases of 875 accused in various crimes were in the courts" source http://www.thenews.com.pk/NewsDetail.aspx?ID=24183  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ambelland (talk • contribs) 23:23, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

furthere more another section says "From 1994-2001, the ISI is widely agreed by the international community to have provided support to the Taliban in their rise to power and fight against anti-Taliban forces "

it should say:

"From 1994-2001, the ISI is widely agreed by the international community to have provided support to the Taliban in the after math of the fall of Commmunist Afghan when the Afghan Civil War started power", I think its wrong to refer to all groups then as anti taliban, they changed sides many times and groups where fighting for thier interest not some grand primarily anti taliban alliance --Ambelland (talk) 23:27, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but when articles are fully protected, even administrators are not supposed to be editing them except when consensus is that the change should be made. Please request the change on the talk page of the article using the template to ensure that an administrator looks at it after awhile. Cheers! Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:34, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Revision Deletion/Suppression
Hey Reaper. Given my work on rollbacking and patrolling for vandalism, I was hoping to remove my last name (that I foolishly included on my User Page back when I was a teenager...) and DOB from Wikipedia. The most recent edit on my userpage has both removed. If you could kindly work your magic to make all of the editions of my userpage prior disappear it would be appreciated. Thank you. :]  --Tymun  (Contact Me - Contribs) 07:31, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I've temporarily revision deleted them all and emailed oversight. In the future, emailing oversight is the best course of action since my talk page has a decent number of watchers (more than 100), who could look at the information in the meantime. Additionally, I can only hide the information from regular users (not admins), whereas oversighters can hide information from everybody. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:31, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

WP:V
Hi, Reaper

Earlier today you complied with a full protection request on WP:5P Policy page WP:V. A request was lodged for unprotection by those seeking to change it. The key policy page has been under much discussion and 3 Admins. recently closed a long running RFC as no consensus to change. Unfortunately you protected the page with a highly controversial, non-consensus version, possibly due to a highly misleading edit summary, and there is concern on the talk page that, despite the RFC close, those who have long argued for a change have somehow succeeded in gaining an inappropriate victory. Above all however, the policy is simply without community support. Is there any reason why the correct consensus version cannot be reinstated and the page locked for the remaining 3 days? See also. Thanks. Leaky Caldron  20:07, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I have restored the last known stable version of the page per WP:PREFER and per the closure of RFC as "no consensus to change". (I had just locked the page on the version which happened to be up, as the differences are minor.) However, I dislike your reference to "their inappropriate victory", since Wikipedia is not a battleground. Good grief...I feel like I've waded into Balkan/Israeli-Palestine territory again. Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:40, 15 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Unfortunately it is a battleground in relation to this issue. Although I said that there was concern on the talk page about one side winning and loosing I didn't say that was my personal sentiment. I just believe that the continued debate should be based on the neutral, long-standing version, not the disputed one. Leaky  Caldron  21:53, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

You'll be needing this.
Haha, FWIW Reaper, I support you reverting me back to stability although I disagree with the page being protected in the first place. Thank you for recognizing that my edit really was minor (as you stated above) glad that some people have some perspective around here. Crazynast 23:00, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Ha, thanks! I was aware that as soon as I took any action on the request at RFPP, I was going to be taken to ANI sooner or later. I'm just quietly laughing at how some people get so worked up over something that really doesn't matter&mdash;no matter which wording is present, the meaning is still the same. If I had done what I personally wanted to do, I would have fully protected WP:V and WT:V. Reaper Eternal (talk) 23:47, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Controversial edit through full protection
I think you have just made a controversial edit through full protection on WP:V. Please self-revert before there is an admin edit war or this goes to ANI. Hans Adler 21:40, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * See above for reasoning. Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:40, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The encyclopedia isn't going to explode just because for a short while WP:V doesn't tell editors it's OK when we lie in article space. The current RfC is 7:1 in favour of not including "not truth" in the first sentence. And in case it's not clear: The RfC that ended in a "no consensus" of 1.85:1 in favour of change was about a different edit. Hans Adler 21:45, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I have restored the last known consensus version as stated by the admins who closed the last RFC. And six people does not make a consensus for removing the phrase "not truth" when you consider how many people participated in the last RFC. If any admins feel I was inappropriate in restoring the consensus version, he/she can revert my edit. Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:48, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Hans: There is no "current RfC". Most editors aren't taking the WP:POINTy RfC seriously.  A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 21:58, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Article Feedback Tool
Thanks for adding yourself to the list :). Can I ask what you mean when you say "this is concerning"? Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 16:00, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm very concerned about the possibilities of using the AFT for the purposes of mass spam or vandalism, which was why I asked my questions on the talk page. Having seen the way some vandals recruit 4chan raiders to mass-vandalize a user's talk page or flood an article with vandalism, I do not wish to be unable to do anything but hide comments if they decide to vandalize the comment section. (There can easily be 10 edits per minute during raids.) I hope my questions on the talk page help clarify this. :) Cheers! Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:05, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah; saw those comments immediately after I posted this (doh!). We are doing our best to ensure that regular spam isn't a problem (evaluating various different forms to get the one that produces the least junk, including AbuseFilter and Spam Blacklist access, weaving in a hide and oversight tool) and there will be some sort of blocking system and the technical architecture to put on limits of say, 1 comment per article per minute for each user. The specifics on who can use which tools and which bits get turned on immediately are still to be worked out - I wanted to wait until we'd finished finnicky testing before we brought it up, because that way I can engage editors as much as possible in making the decisions instead of being distracted by a/b testing :).

 * Okay. I guess I'll put my plug for having the protect tool (or variant thereof) added to the comments field on the AFT into the community discussion. The throttle also seems like a good idea. Cheers! Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:26, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey...you should already know about the 4chan raiders/GNAA trolls. You're Ironholds! Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:30, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Of course! I'm also secretly an eternal optimist. My bad :P. Don't get me wrong, I think those guys are problems - they're also edge cases, though. We shouldn't design for edge cases from the get-go, but we should totally be open to tweaking things if those edge cases prove to be a real problem. I'll drop you a line when we're discussing this stuff so you can get involved :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:45, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Invitation to comment
I've been trying to think of something to finally put the pending changes issue to rest. It is still in an interim period, just not on articles at this point. Would any of my talk page stalkers mind taking a look at User:Reaper Eternal/Pending Changes for a very rough idea of what I am thinking? Thanks! :) Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:53, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
