User talk:Ultraexactzz/Archive 7

This archive includes edits to User talk:Ultraexactzz from October 2008 through August 2009. I had withdrawn from editing during much of this period.

Deletion
Under other circumstances I'd tell you you have an awesome page.

After creating my account and looking through all the myriads of options and pages involved in being a new Wikipedian, part of that is looking at userboxes, and as I don't have my own computer, I simply saved the list of possibilities under hidden comment until I had time to go through them all. So, because I save my work-in-progess on my own page under hidden comment, which nobody is ever going to look at when there's no text on the page, the page was deleted. That is, I noticed the link to my page was red, said to myself "what the hell," and clicked the link which brought up a blank page and a deletion notice.

However, I am also confused, because clicking on "RayvnEQ" at the top of the menu bar shows me a page, and when I hit the edit button, it also shows me a list of hidden comment. Yet, the link to my page on my watchlist still appears red. I have no way of knowing whether the list of user boxes under hidden comment when I click "edit" from my menubar is complete. This whole thing is confusing but I need to make sure that 1) my page exists and 2) every userbox I had choosen for consideration to eliminate or keep from my user page when I finish it is kept within the hidden comment. (I do not own a computer, so I cannot keep a notepad file on said non-existent computer.) Also, some of the userboxes were on a hidden comment on the talk page of my name, because I mistakenly put them there, so I need to make sure those are still there as well. (And if so, I will move them to hidden on my actual page.) Please help.

 * Reply:
 * Yes please add the deleted content to whatever is already on my user page. It will be easier to sort it out then it will be to start over.  (Put in under the hidden comment with everything else as it is just a list of userboxes that I am trying to narrow down, and maybe a few other things).  I must have gone to the wrong area when I submitted it.  Thank you.Rayvn (talk) 09:52, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

RfA
Hi Ultraexactzz! Thank you very much for your support in my RfA, which passed yesterday. I hope not to let you and the others down, and use the tools for the benefit of the project. Cheers, Ynhockey (Talk) 22:51, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello
Just a question, how is it going with the Recommend phase of the RfA review, specifically when will each person's response be posted as in the anonymous responses. Where will you post them? Thanks  Monster Under Your Bed  (talk) 13:09, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you
I moved the page to Family Online Safety Institute from my userpage. I just wanted to ask if you could double check to make sure it is successfully moved and appears to be working. also, thank you so much for all your patient help/edits with the page. I really appreciate it. Pastadog42 (talk) 02:41, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

regarding 79.73.115.236
I see you posted, lifting an autoblock. I'd suggest waiting a bit longer next time, or asking the blocking admin. This IP has not been used for anything other than Tom Sayle socks, as far back as CU can see. So there's no reason to lift the block, and no risk of collateral damage. The newest user is yet another sock. ++Lar: t/c 14:44, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom elections
Hi there,

I'm writing an article for the Signpost newspaper, and would like to ask you if you could just check my work so far, on the process part of the elections. I've just been in a discussion where someone said questions wouldn't be open until the 17th, and I wasn't aware of that. Since you've been quite active on that talk page, I thought you'd be able to help me and let me know if my work is accurate. Thanks. – How do you turn this on (talk) 21:11, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi
Hi Ultraexactzz, pleased to meet you. Thank you for reverting the vandalism on the Jat people page.

The Jat people page has been under heavy anon vandal attack. The Sikh article (I also worked on the Sikh article last year) was under similar anon heavy vandal attack last year but a administrator semi protected the page indefinitely and us editors were able to create a very nice article. Please can you semi-protect the Jat people indefinitely so we can do similar job of producing a very good article without these constant vandal attacks.

Many anon users have been vandalising the article including the following user who keeps on vandalising the article by adding uncited information which is not correct. He has done this on the Kashmiri people article and many others, see his talk page. Here are the separate occasions:


 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jat_people&diff=prev&oldid=250150102
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jat_people&diff=prev&oldid=249391904

 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jat_people&diff=prev&oldid=248601778
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jat_people&diff=prev&oldid=248392048
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jat_people&diff=prev&oldid=248182938

 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jat_people&diff=prev&oldid=244120140

He has been warned and blocked on many occasions but still continues, blocking him has no affect. He just changes ip:


 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3A24.185.128.31
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:24.185.128.31

The only long-term solution is a similar one to the one done by an admin on the Sikh article Semi-protect indefinitely this allow users to build a nice article without it being destroyed by anon vandals. Once the vandal disruption is gone someone can ask for un-protection. Please can you help us out here. Thank you.--Peter johnson4 (talk) 15:27, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you about Jat people
Thank you Ultraexactzz, it has helped but if this anon or others come back in 1 months time to vandalise again. We will need your help again and I will make a similar request for help. P.S. The reason why you have these anons vandalising the article is because it is about an ethnic group so similar reasons to why the Jewish people article is protected indefinitely, it is a high risk article for vandalism just like this article. Its a big set of people. It needs to be kept an eye on like the Jewish people article. I will come back to you if in 1 months time it starts up again. Thank you once again.--Peter johnson4 (talk) 15:47, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Ultraexactzz, thank you for your reply. Yes, agreed, we can take your "wait and see approach" if the article after 1 month is Ok with no anon vandal attacks then this is a acceptable situation. However, if after 1 month the same thing kicks off again with anons vandalizing the article and adding uncited information, then I really see no other responsible option but to semi-protect indefinitely to solve the problem once and for all. P.S I think your cat is very beautiful, Is it a girl or boy?--Peter johnson4 (talk) 19:22, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Misdirected soft redirect?
From looking at your contribs, where you were redirecting candidate question talk pages to the candidate vote talk pages, I think you might have copied and pasted the wrong link here. I think you meant to direct people to here, not here. If I have that right, would you be able to fix it? Carcharoth (talk) 01:36, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello
Can you please add the general questions to Gwen Gale. Thank You 211.30.109.24 (talk) 04:48, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Election questions
Hi - are you a 2008 ArbCom elections officer? I need some help and advice about the way my election questions page is being edited. I assumed that one section is one thread is me and one other editor, rather than a free-for-all forum. For the third time this threading discipline is not being respected. Please advise or refer me to someone else, if you can? Charles Matthews (talk) 14:39, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Charles's questions page
Hi Ultra, thank you for your note. I don't want to seem argumentative for the hell of it, but Charles did post some serious inaccuracies about me, e.g. that I was sending him "nuisance mail," which I wasn't, and that he e-mailed me information about the issue under discussion yesterday, which he didn't. Removing my response allows those inaccuracies to stand uncorrected. I feel that voters should be allowed to read comments and responses and judge for themselves. Does it explicitly say somewhere that threaded discussion is not allowed on questions pages? SlimVirgin talk| edits 19:35, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry, that's just ridiculous. On my mail "to" you, it is coming via Jimmy Wales as you would expect, no? I have explained this now on the talk page over there. Whatever made you think that "candidate questions" was the right place to raise a single missing email?


 * I brought in a neutral umpire, on all that business, for a good reason. Arguing with the match officials is rightly frowned upon. Pressurise Ultraexactzz all you like. It doesn't actually give you the slightest right to dictate in the matter here. We can go into you spamming me another time. And why ElinorD seems to know a great deal about a private correspondence, and so on. I somehow doubt this is of quite as much interest to voters as you make out. Charles Matthews (talk) 21:29, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Charles, you've got the cheek of the devil. :-) You ask Ultraexactzz to do something, and it's perfectly legitimate. I ask him, and I'm "arguing with match officials." You start an e-mail correspondence with me, but I'm spamming you if my responses deviate from your idea of an acceptable exchange. (I asked if I could post them on a subpage &mdash; may I? &mdash; then people can see for themselves.) You feel free to copy my e-mails to a journalist without my consent, but if ElinorD appears to know anything about the matter, I must have sent her e-mails illicitly. Come on ... what's sauce for the goose etc. SlimVirgin  talk| edits 21:47, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply, Ultra. What I'd like to do, unless you have strong objections, is copy my post into the section of the question page that I started for my questions to Charles (one of which was about the same issue). I only added the post to Elinor's section because I felt Charles had posted some things that weren't accurate. SlimVirgin  talk| edits 22:14, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Who's joking now? I make a random choice of election official and ask for a view. I'm a candidate and this would be the right thing to do. It's my page you're scribbling on, you know. And which part of "formally terminated" do you not understand? Yes, of course you can put questions in sections on the page, as long as you don't jump into other people's and start a three-ring circus while you're at it. Please read the message at the top of the page and conform to it. Charles Matthews (talk) 23:03, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Disclaimer editnotices
Hi. I see you added editnotices to the disclaimers (MediaWiki:Editnotice-4-General disclaimer, etc). We realized some times ago that only users who are able to edit the page can view the editnotice, and those are fully protected.

Speedy deletion of User:Andreawestrich/Sandbox
A tag has been placed on User:Andreawestrich/Sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
