Your request for rollback
Hi. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see New admin school/Rollback. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Tiptoety talk 19:16, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.


 * Congratulations! -- Brangifer (talk) 19:19, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Phear! :) Thanks, now all I need is to be able to actually revert before all those others' do ;) Then I too will have a massively inflated edit count, yadda yadda Unomi (talk) 19:22, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Unomi, if it's compatible with the script you are trying out you might want to install User:Ilmari_Karonen/rollbacksummary.js. The effect: So long as JavaScript is turned on (important!!!), each time you click rollback a popup windows asks you for an edit summary. If you just press the return key you get the default rollback note. There is also a button that allows you to cancel the rollback action. This makes rollback much more secure and also allows you to use it for non-vandalism reverts with an edit summary. And it's still much faster than ordinary reverts.

 * Thanks, I'll try that out, at the moment it seems that twinkle roll back is actually a bit more functional as it helps with user talk explanations. Somehow it seems a bit broken on chrome vs what I remember from using it on FF. Unomi (talk) 19:30, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Don't bother changing back my edit beacuse I will change it right back. Fictional is such a harsh word. Why don't you use animated instead —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheJediJeep (talk • contribs) 19:44, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I think you should argue that particular case on the talk page, personally I think that animated might be a better choice than fictional in the case of the Chipettes, on the other hand I would be somewhat aghast if they were in the same category as The Supremes. Unomi (talk) 19:49, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Why must you use the word fictional? Do you want to rub in the fact that it's only a show we're talking about. Change the word fictional to animated please. What crime am I commiting by defending the honer of one of my favorite shows —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheJediJeep (talk • contribs) 22:01, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I have given you some advice on your talk page regarding the proper course of action. Edit warring will only get you blocked, and will make it increasingly difficult for you to have your argument taken seriously. Unomi (talk) 22:05, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

I The Chipettes should be put in the same category as The Supremes. Just because they are anthropmorphic does not mean they don't have the same rights. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheJediJeep (talk • contribs) 22:27, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The life of an animated chipmunk is fraught with injustice. Unomi (talk) 22:29, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry I lashed out. I get angry sometimes. If you want to use the word fictional, you can. Are we cool? TheJediJeep (talk) 20:46, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for apologizing, don't worry about it. Unomi (talk) 08:40, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Is there anything else you would like to discuss? TheJediJeep (talk) 11:32, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

igloo
Hi Unomi, and thanks for your interest in igloo. Unfortunately, you will not be able to use igloo because you do not have rollback priviliges on your account. You can request rollback at Requests for permissions/Rollback, but because igloo is in testing and potentially unstable, please gain some experience in using rollback before asking for igloo permission again. Thanks! A le_Jrb talk 18:33, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the information, I have put in a request for a rollback flag, we'll see ;) Unomi (talk) 18:47, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Curses, someone else got to it before I got to try out my shiny new button. Also, Unomi, thank you for your support at my RfA. I vaguely recall that there was some talkpage discussion over there that got resolved while I was distracted with some other article, but you are right - I should have at least replied to you. Good luck with rollbacking. Ale jrb - your userhist script is fantastically useful, thank you. - 2/0 (cont.) 23:00, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I am very happy that you made admin 2/0 and I am sure that you will go on to do greater things :) My view is that you and mastcell have capacity and desire for developing independent and nuanced positions, I am convinced that you have the good of the project at heart. What happened when I first joined was understandable and I feel that you are a very valuable asset for wikipedia as an editor, admin and beyond. Unomi (talk) 23:50, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Approve of this?
An Arbcom candidate supporting a comment containing this language? "You know, the game that some people (reputedly mostly women) play with their partners."? Yes, we all know reindeer games :-)... but perhaps deescalation of tactical rhetoric for the holiday season would be a good idea &mdash; or at least until the votes are counted, perhaps. ;-) Proofreader77 (talk) 02:41, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Though I am running for arbcom I am not a politician, and I absolutely refuse to accept the premise that I should engage in tactical rhetoric. I fully believe that my comment on Hans Adlers talkpage has zero chance of affecting what support WMC may have in the community. In any case, my comment was directed to and meant for, WMC. During a recent interaction with WMC I found him engaging in a manner of discourse which I found reminiscent of the query at Jhochmans page. Perhaps I read too much into it, but for me, it certainly felt like he was simply trying to lead one down a path where he could pounce on a misstep, rather than argue his side in an intellectually honest manner. This is troubling as it then becomes a game of rhetorical chess rather than a constructive attempt at engaging in a cooperative debate where both sides may learn something. If WMC found something troubling then he should simply ask Jhochman regarding individual points. I would welcome thoughts on the matter. Unomi (talk) 03:01, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * My concern here is not with the full rhetorical matrix of the situation (heaven forbid, it's the holidays:-) ... but rather in the specific choice of affirming a statement containing a sexist remark. The eyes of the community are upon you. (Reminds me that Texas song.:-) Note that I have already broken up one barfight by singing in the middle of it &mdash; and indicated a song would be written about it for the Wikipedia Western holiday musical review. Perhaps there's the makings of another song here. (Yes, tactically light. As fits the season. :-) Cheers. Proofreader77 (talk) 03:22, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Whoa, No, I did certainly not mean to support the use of a sexist remark, I was insensitive and unappreciative of the facet of the statement which utilized a stereotype, I simply read it as don't play silly games. I was blind to the affront, focusing solely on the perceived intent, I apologize for any perceived misogyny. At the risk of putting my foot further in my mouth I do not believe Hans Adler to be a misogynist either and I believe that he will distance himself fully from that aspect of his statement. Thank you for bringing my attention to this problem. Unomi (talk) 03:50, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Understood. My rhetorical ear hears those discordant notes a bit louder — and we live in somewhat more delicate times with respect to some things (like that). Much appreciate your gracious acknowledgment. Happy holidays. Proofreader77 (talk) 04:39, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

igloo
Hi Unomi, and thanks for your interest in igloo. Before using the program, please read the following information carefully - failure to do so may result in your test access being revoked.

igloo is a JavaScript-powered, browser-based anti-vandalism tool, which means you do not have to download or install anything on your computer and it will work on multiple operating systems. However, it does mean that the performance relies on that of your browser and it may operate more slowly than downloaded programs. You must have either Mozilla Firefox 3+ or Google Chrome to use igloo, as it is currently incompatible with other browsers.

igloo relies on a system called iglooNet to assist you in finding and reverting vandalism. It is this system that transforms the program from a pretty version of recent changes to an actual anti-vandalism tool. Naturally, this is beyond the power of a client-side program, and igloo will regularly communicate with an external, non-Wikimedia server. Because of things like server logs, and the iglooNet abuse tracker, this may allow your IP address to be attached to your username - something which is otherwise impossible on Wikipedia. If you do not want this to happen, you MUST NOT USE IGLOO.

If you decide that you do want to test igloo, please keep in mind that it not wholly stable, and you may experience problems where it performs an invalid edit, or other unwanted action. If this happens, fix any mistakes you've made, apologise to anyone you've offended, and let me know. I don't take any responsibility for your use of the program - if you aren't willing to fix any errors, don't use it.

igloo is already quite powerful. The following is a simple guide to using the program:


 * The igloo interface is similar to that of other software, including huggle. Recent changes appear on the left, and diffs appear on the right.
 * igloo sorts diffs based on iglooNet data so that edits most likely to be vandalism are displayed first. You can press spacebar to view the top diff, or click on any diff to view it directly.
 * When you find vandalism, press 'Q' or click the revert button to revert the change, and issue a warning to the user. igloo automatically issues the correct warning. It will ignore existing warnings that are more than 5 days old, and restart from the beginning.
 * The iglooNet assertion system tags clean and dirty edits with colour coding - if it suspects an edit is vandalism, it will be flagged as red, and if it believes it to be clean, it will tag it green.
 * At any time, you can re-review diffs you have already seen by pressing backspace or using the icons to move through the diff history.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or other feedback, I'd love to know. If you hate it, and won't be using it again, please let me know why - and I'll remove you from the test whitelist. If you now try and use igloo, you should find that it will allow you to use the program. Thanks, and good luck! A le_Jrb talk 11:17, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Look on the bright side ...
It wasn't 14.8%. :-) Let the burden of what might have been sweetly evaporate into the holiday season night. Cheers. Proofreader77 (talk) 05:43, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The goal is the journey, thanks for you thoughts. :) Unomi (talk) 09:19, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I don't think you did that bad, considering that you are a relatively new editor (compared to other candidates), you are not an admin (this would be an automatic oppose for a lot of voters), and the fact that only 1000 people voted - something that I find a bit troubling. I thought out of registered Users (and growing), more would have voted. stmrlbs | talk 21:20, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
