User talk:Shii/History6

Hmmm.....
Hello Ashi....you know, for having been in a lot of events here, you have quite a modest userpage. You may not know me, but I know you....every time I read back on some old arbcom or event 50% of the time I find your name somewhere. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 01:56, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I cleaned it up a lot. I am going to quit meta work and do more article editing for the foreseeable future. Ashi b aka tock 04:13, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not a bad thing, I just find such a modest userpage for such an active wikipedian a bit unique. Well, good luck with trying to make more article edits. Are you going to follow Mel Etitis's idea of making at least half of your edits to articles? The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 20:51, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Userpages are kind of vain anyways. :) I don't think I'll be setting limits, I just want to rewrite more sucky articles like I did for Matsuo Bashō, and voting on stuff doesn't fix anything. Ashi b aka tock 21:03, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You could always join the cleanup taskforce or article improvement drive if you like getting guidance. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 23:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The CFT seems spectacularly bureaucratic but I have been working on the cleanup cat (Sparky the Cleanup Cat) previously and will continue to do so. Ashi b aka tock 23:04, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oddly enough, I enjoy bureaucratic leadership sometimes. As long as it is not used to exploit power, and as long as it does not bog down the result (à la Nupedia). The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 02:56, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

State road NC poll
Hello, Ashibaka. If you haven't seen the talk page of the poll lately, you probably missed this discussion. Despite the presence of both a full discussion page for the poll as well as a number of discussion sections on the main poll page, people continue to leave comments next to their votes even though they are instructed to vote in this format ( # ), which implies that comments are not welcome (not in that section, anyway).

Since you've been the most active admin associated with the poll so far, I figured that I'd bring this issue to you. You can reply to this in the section on the poll talk page or wherever you prefer. -- T M F T - C 03:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

poll
For what it's worth, I did comprehend that entire page, including the part about comments. My simple point is that you should really know better. You can refactor the comments, place them where they should go, but removing them, or commenting them out as you did should probably raise some red flags in the mind. Im not going to revert again, because I know you are doing it in good faith, but please refasctor, not remove, the comments. - M ask 04:19, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Edits on Zaadz
hi Ashibaka, i appreciate your interest and contribution on the Zaadz wiki page. however, your addition of "although how it plans to do this has not yet been explained." appears that you haven't fully explored Zaadz and read the references in order to have merit on updating the Zaadz wiki page. if you've read the Zaadz business model and the various third-party reviews on Zaadz, then it is clear how Zaadz intends to "change the world." you may not agree with their methods and ideals, but at least Zaadz is clear on the "hows" and had explained it already to the general public. therefore i'm reverting the Zaadz wikipage. thanks. ~C4Chaos 12:14, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I can't find any explanation, that might be due to my fly-like attention span though. Please detail how Zaadz intends to change the world within the article, it would probably help the case for deletion too. Ashi b aka tock

Overchan v.2
What is this nonsense. The "original" is as up-to-date as its ever been. If updates aren't made to my BBS then I don't know about them. They seem to be rather different (unorganized collection of everyting vs. well organized sidebar) so they can co-exist I suppose. Thatdog 05:26, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * "The "original" is as up-to-date as its ever been." yeah maybe now it is. I didn't come up with the name, I just gave the guy hosting for something he was already doing Ashi b aka tock 10:23, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Admin votes for State Route Naming Conventions poll
Your vote is requested at the State route naming conventions poll. As one of the admins, you have until 23:59 UTC on September 4, 2006 to cast your vote for one of the naming conventions for state highways. Thank you for your participation. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 02:03, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Your vote on State route naming conventions poll
Despite how the poll was set up, the ArbCom clearly encouraged consensus on the matter. There is a clear lack of consensus on the poll. --SPUI (T - C) 05:50, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

You have chosen Principle I based on the numbers. While it is clear that a majority prefers that style, perhaps one possible compromise that will be acceptable to a much wider group is to apply that principle only to the states where move wars and naming debates are occuring or have occurred in the past. Some states that do not conform to Principle I where absolutely no naming debates have gone on might be better left untouched. Would you at least consider this as a possible compromise solution? Thanks. --Polaron | Talk 21:51, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I am simply judging the majority vote. I agree that M-22 (Michigan) makes more sense than Michigan M-22, but that's not up to me to decide, it's up to the ~100 people who voted. Ashi b aka tock 21:56, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Possible need for adjudication in roadnames
Hi. This note is a heads up that you might be called to help adjudicate/decide how to apply PI to part 1 of the Highways naming poll. As you know all of us judging admins selected P1, but it turns out that there is a question of applicability. You should read the threads yourself, but my summarization is as follows. Some states are not currently in conformance with P1, and do not want to change if they don't have to. They are saying that P1 only applies in cases where there was controversy, and if the state's road project/key users are with staying put, and if they set up redirects for all the articles so that P1 style searches find the articles, that ought to be enough. (in some cases maybe they'll switch later if they want to)

There seems to be agreement that if a state is in contention about conventions, P1 will be imposed, but disagreement about what "in contention" is. In particular, NJ participants are split about whether they are or are not in contention. I gave them all (arbitrarily, unfairly, etc, etc, because I'm being a bit of a hardass to keep things moving) until about an hour from now to come to consensus voluntarily or else... the or else is that we would canvass, decide, and impose our choice. Right now my read is that it may be less contentious overall to allow modified P1, that is, allow states that don't want to switch, the option not to do so (as long as redirects exist) either "right away" or "ever"... So please get ready to participate, I think we do it as another poll perhaps. I'll seek those of you on IRC out later, but probably we need to do the actual voting on wiki.

As a reminder here's the poll for part 1: State_route_naming_conventions_poll/Part1 and sure enough it says nothing about what states it applies to (only that two states get an exemption) ++Lar: t/c 20:30, 6 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Your input is requested here. I had hoped the participants might arrive at a consensus but they have not yet. They still could do so before we finish! Please comment or reshape the process if it's not to your liking, as well as refine my statement of the questions, and then comment as you see fit. Thanks. ++Lar: t/c 18:37, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

State Route Naming admin votes for part 2 needed
This is a note to my fellow admin "judges" at State_route_naming_conventions_poll/Part2 (barring those who have already commented). The voting for this section of the poll has completed for non admin editors, and we need to endorse the discussions regarding what forms the individual states will take. Technically the deadline for this voting has passed (23:59 September 14 UTC), but since I didn't see any notifications go out I assume they will provide us with some latitude. Cheers.

Articles for deletion/ChatAutism
I have noticed when you closed the above AfD, you did not remove the category template, "REMOVE THIS TEMPLATE WHEN CLOSING THIS AfD". By deleting this when closing it pulls the discussion out of the category. I have deleted it from this discussion, but if you could review any other closures you have done recently and remove the tag from them it would be greatly appreicated. This is a fairly recent change. The guideline is at WP:AFDC. I have been going through the listing in each of the categories CAT:AFD and removing the tag from pages that are closed and adding the approriate category code for those in the uncatagorised group.

the Westcar papyrus
I think this is wrong. The story is set in the 4th dynasty. They physical papyrus I believe dates to 1600 or so, and the text may be originally a couple of centuries earlier, but it is misleading to say the papyrus itself dates to the 4th dynasty. I do not have a watertight reference for this though. regards, dab (&#5839;) 16:02, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'm looking to some of the members of the Harmonious editing club for a review of an article that's having a wild ride into existance.

blocking Wikipedia participants for discussions
I have a problem with this idea. Getting a second or third opinion about an administrative action is a good idea that should not be discouraged in any way. Administrators' noticeboard is one place to get a second or third opinion but I do not see the point of trying to suggest that going to the discussion pages of individuals is wrong.

WHEEL
Please look at WP:0WW. I pled on Pump for people to come over so it would have wider input but instead I got a certain special fellow who is busy razing it.

I agree that on first blush the shorter policy always looks better. But there are distinct and deep reasons for breaking wheel warring into violations of a bright-line rule and violations of a balancing test. Worse, these late edits demote bright-line policy to some sort of nut. One more edit like this and everything that 20 different thoughtful editors has put together over the last year will be rubble.

If you don't have time to dig through all the history at Wikipedia talk:Wheel war/Archive, I understand. You can start here or take my word for it that the page has gone through a great deal of careful evolution.

Before merge, both pages were guidelines; I tagged the merge as guideline, too; there it stood for a month. Major changes should be discussed on talk. Our friend first tagged it down to proposed, then brought in the bulldozer. Sneaky or not, it's not okay. These rules -- call them whatever you will -- have already been cited in ArbCom decisions; perhaps I should have been bold and tagged the page policy from the merge. I've had a lot of input on this page already and I want you in there now -- if you'll be so kind. Thank you. John Reid ° 07:14, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * John, please check your facts. The guideline tag was removed by Vectro here; later, in reponse to a comment on the village pump that this should be policy, I found it tagless and, rather than marking it policy immediately, added a proposed tag to get agreement upon the wording.

Deletion?
Why was Listal deleted on the list of social networking websites? Is the website (http://www.listal.com) not enough to deem itself "notable"?

or

 * This is why: Listal. No article, and the article that was there was deleted by unanimous consensus.

Without seeing the Wired in question, I doubt it goes much beyond any of these. - Chardish 07:32, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

vandalism
I found 7chan is attempting to raid Wikipedia: http://img.7chan.org/i/res/46186.html This link will die in a couple days as the board is. I thought I'd let you know since you know how to deal with it.

Oh and what was the novel you wrote about? Anomo 04:37, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks like it is not catching on very well. In any case, we can deal with it like any other vandalism.


 * My novel was about college, true love, and how the world ended on 21 December 2012. Ashi b aka tock 05:08, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Got an agent? What's its genre? Anomo 22:13, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


 * No, it's a NaNoWriMo book (although my dad tried to pass a copy to one of his author friends, who recommended I do some significant editing). The genre is difficult to place but it is decidedly not soft sf/fantasy like most NaNo books are. Ashi b aka tock 22:18, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Your FFR redirect
Flash Flash Revolution (Yes, he actually left be blank2.)

The AfD was closed and the result was "Keep (no consensus)." The article on FFR is currently pending deletion review; however, this does not give you permission to blank the page and replace it with a redirect. - Chardish 07:24, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * There's nothing savable in the article. If I eliminated all the non-original research it would be "Flash Flash Revolution is." Ashi b aka tock 16:18, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I can do that if I feel like. Moreover you can redirect 4chan to Imageboard if there aren't any reliable sources for it. Ashi b aka tock 20:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * No, you can't do that if you feel like it. You're a sysop, not the final say in everything Wikipedia (see: WP:DGFA, WP:DP, and WP:CON). Out of all people you should know this the most.

 * Yes it does. 76.178.95.219 22:39, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * No, it doesn't. Read the links and try again. --Dabigkid 03:21, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * It's common practice to remove original research and unsourced stuff from articles. If that was done, the article would probably be something like Flash Flash Revolution is an online flash-based DDR simulator. That statement would not assert notability, and a redirect from that would be COMPLETELY appropriate. Voretus/talk 20:53, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * WP:IAR -- With that said, I think that the information in that page is obvious enough for any dolt who browses the site to verify within an hour. The article has been there long enough and being someone who visits FFR, I can agree that all of that information is reliable. --Dabigkid 22:03, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I could create a personal website right now. It would be personally verifiable by anyone within an hour. 76.178.95.219 22:39, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, say your personal site was... a forum for flowers. 20 people register and you guys hold a flower growing contest every year. I post on Wikipedia that 20 people register and you guys hold a flower growing contest every year. Your "personal site" isn't a reference site. If anything, you proved that everything being right in front of me to prove (in the case of FFR) is more reliable than an online source for something not online! --Dabigkid 03:21, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Couldn't help but notice this diff from the FFR disambiguation page: you tried to remove Flash Flash Revolution from the list. So fractional flow reserve, Frequency Following Response, and fitted for radio are notable, even though they have no articles, no sources, and it's not even verifiable that they're not merely made-up? Furthermore, why haven't you applied the same treatment to the clearly non-notable pydance and Text Text Revolution pages? I'm trying to assume good faith here, but it really is beginning to feel like you have a grudge against FFR. - Chardish 01:11, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * To quote fuddlemark: "Mate, keeping or deleting an article is not an insult to whatever the article's about. I'm not notable, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest." I don't think there is any Flash game in existence right now that deserves its own article or mention in disambig pages. However, Flash games are fine things and they can be mentioned in other relevant articles. Ashi b aka tock 01:21, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

POV
This doesn't seem to be the right archive, but I can't find a 2007 one. Your edit to George W. Bush was POV. He has been criticized, to be sure, but to change "controvesial" to "criticized" is placing too much emphasis on your political views. I reverted the edit. --Iriseyes 13:30, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I was trying to make an NPOV edit, oh well. Also, you can simply use my talk page next time. Ashibaka (tock) 22:04, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
