User talk:ShakingSpirit/Archive/Archive-Jan2007

re: ShakingBot
Sorry. I've seen a couple of *Bot usernames recently that were not valid bots. When I saw it had been a couple of hours and a user page hadn't been created, I thought it had been another one of those. I should have done a "What links here" on the ShakingBot userpage and I would have seen the bot request. I didn't think of that and I apologize. It's also what I get from just pattern matching on the names - I didn't notice that it was created by you (which is shown in the log) and I should have.

As for the, those typically are not put on the talk page anymore by username patrolers per WP:DNFT. We seem to have some folks who love to create inappropriate usernames for there own sake. The block message contains the same information.

Again, my apoligies. -- JLaTondre 06:38, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * No worries, it was an honest mistake, just got me a bit annoyed that I was finally cleared to test my bot, then it was blocked ^_^ Still, sorted now, no harm done ShakingSpirit talk  06:43, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Dark Eden Image
I hope I can get the hang of things hehe, let me know how I go on the Dark Eden page :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by D33ath (talk • contribs) 09:43, 30 December 2006
 * I've tagged the image for you, so ignore OrphanBot ^_^ To put it to the DarkEden page, you need to add  [[Image:Slayer_Roahm.jpg‎]]  or to add it as a thumbnail, do  [[Image:Slayer_Roahm.jpg|thumb|Your caption goes here]] .


 * Feel free to experiment in my sandbox, not my talk page ;) ShakingSpirit talk  09:48, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

be more careful!

 * Apologies; you reverting just before me must have thrown my script off, I didn't even get an edit conflict :/ ShakingSpirit talk  10:07, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Holy crap, you're fast!
Wow, you sure spotted my comment on that page really fast! Thanks for letting me know how that turned out. --Kevin (TALK) 03:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No worries, thanks for pointing out the problem ^_^ ShakingSpirit talk  03:40, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

AST artcle
The whole article isn't a copyright violation, just everything between the introductory paragraph and "See Also". 68.8.108.62 04:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That IS the whole article; the infobox is just a template ShakingSpirit talk  04:10, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I just meant the first paragraph:

Aspartate Transaminase (AST) also called Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase       (SGOT) or aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT)  is similar to  alanine transaminase (ALT) in that it is another enzyme associated with liver parenchymal cells. It is raised in acute liver damage. It is also present in red blood cells and cardiac muscle.
 * I don't see that on the WebMD page anywhere... it was the original stub, someone came and added the copyrighted stuff later. 68.8.108.62 05:32, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Shaking Bot
The new ShakingBot seems interesting. Is it just a link checker? If it is how did you import it to Wikipedia. I have content checkers that might be of use. Redskunk 23:38, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * All the details on ShakingBot can be found on its BRFA ^_^ ShakingSpirit talk  03:20, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * So how did you put the program on Wikipedia? Redskunk 03:25, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not "on" wikipedia, it runs from my server and edits wikipedia via an API made for bots ^_^ ShakingSpirit talk  03:27, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This whole thing on Wikipedia bots is confusing. Is there an arcticle on it? Redskunk 03:30, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Not that I know of, though Creating a bot does carry some insight :) ShakingSpirit talk  03:32, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. It was VERY insightful. Redskunk 03:35, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No worries, let me know if you ever think of making a bot yourself! ^_^ ShakingSpirit talk  03:37, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure will! Redskunk 03:38, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

John Viva Muhammad
Can you explain that again? Redskunk 21:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, should have explained myself better ^_^ 'Speedy' tags are the speedy deletion tags, and they take the form, where 'xx' is a two letter code for why the article should be speedy deleted. There's a full list over at WP:CFSD.  is the tag used for a non-notable person/website/band/etc.
 * I don't like using speedy A7 tags when a user makes an article about themselves, because it's kinda WP:BITE, so I always move it to their User: page. Doing so leaves behind a redirect on the original article, so I tag that with, which is used for redirects to User: space ^_^ Any questions?  ShakingSpirit talk  21:23, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to what? Redskunk 21:24, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * When you move a page, the original page is replaced with a redirect to where the new page is. E.g. Moving Old Page to New Page would leave a redirect on Old Page pointing to New Page. As redirects aren't allowed to point to anything except article/WP: space, they should be speedy R2'd if you move a page to User: ShakingSpirit talk  21:27, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * So just to get this right you redirect their arcticle to their user talk? Redskunk 21:30, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Nono, you move it to their User: page (unless they already have one, but most newbies don't). The redirect is created automatically, which you don't want, so then you tag the redirect for speedy deletion. ShakingSpirit talk  21:31, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * So you just move the page to their main user page. Then you tag the redirect page for speedy deletion?  Redskunk 21:34, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yup! Or atleast, that's what I do ^_^ There's no rules set it stone, but I find that's the nicest way; keeps wikipedia clean without biting the newbies ^_^ ShakingSpirit talk  21:38, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

It was a mistake. I didn't notice that much. I reverted back to your edit.

Again, sorry. It was an error. --esanchez, Camp Lazlo fan! 02:03, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry
I would like to express my sincere apologies for the disruptive edit I made to George W. Bush; it was absolutely unnecessary. A man after my own heart, you are! I, too, am a fan of the Amarok media player, and would never listen to the fine compositions of such great composers as Beethoven, Dufay, and Kanye West, on any other platform! Have at thee, kind sir! --Mentaka 01:29, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

That guy is back at it again, already. I'm not sure of the steps to actually get him banned, and since you're Wiki-savvy, would you mind giving it a try? Thanks a lot. SGreenwell 02:08, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Bot functions
sorry for the late reply.. u know in our wiki the templates must be in the left side. but when users create it, it's in the right side. we have to add a little code to the template. Its kinda difficult to add it to all the templates. so can u do that? Thanks!! By the way wats python and pywiki?? --Glacious 15:28, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I don't quite understand, what exactly do you need doing? Remember that I don't speak a word of Dhivehi/Mahl, and I've no idea how your writing is supposed to look! ^_^
 * Python is a programming language, and Pywikipedia is a framework which runs ontop of it, making it easier to code bots and other wiki-connected apps without dealing with all the low-level network code. ShakingSpirit <sup style="color:#000000;">talk  16:00, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * OK! hehe! i know that u would not understand Dhivehi Language.

OK, Here's How it works.. We just copy the English template code to make our templates and change the specific places. In the template, these codes are there:

class="infobox" style="width: 20em; align: left; text-align: right; style="float: left; font-size: 90%;" cellspacing="2"

But we have to manually add this part to the template

style="float: left;

So what i would like to do is to make a bot to detect templates without this code, such as in this article. A perfect template with the style code will look like this. Though u dont know Dhivehi language please feel free to check the difference between the two articles. ;)

So will it be any difficulties for u??

Thanks for ur time.

By the way thanks for creating ur user in our Wiki...!!

Regarding myspace groups
A lot of the clients or shall we call them victims from the behaviour modification are often dumped back home suffering very heavily from Post-traumatic stress disorder after having been confined for years under condition we would not even put people in prison under.

See: http://www.paulareeves.com/Photo%20Gallery/1-Photo_gallery.htm

Being tied up in a dog cage is the most advanced psychological accepted method and according to the industry necessary in order modify the behaviour of the client.

I would argument whether it is appropriate or not. That is not the purpose of wikipedia to decide whether such methods should be used. We should just describe them.

If the client do not make it trough the program when they become 18 of age, they are dumped on the street with 50 dollars and their parents have been educated not to let them inside their old home anymore. That is where the myspace-groups comes into business. They function as a meetingpoint and as a form for group therapy so the clients can enter society once again.

Of course it is not wikipedia's job to heal people. But one of the first thing many client do when they return home is to investigate whether it all have been a bad dream. Normally their parent have ordered a transport company to get their children in handcuffs in the middle of the night. So it is a kind of surreal for them.

As I read it, it is the concern of spam, which is the reason for not including the myspace group. But what if the links could be added as text only?
