User talk:Wifione/Archive 2012 (July October)

Al Gore's
I pretty much said it all in the title. Wikipedia increasingly suffers from a growing reputation for political correctness and left-wing bias, which threatens the minimal credibility which your project has at this time. Everyone involved in "policing" Wikipedia would do well to reform your approach to biography toward a more politically neutral perspective before you lose all credibility altogether. Al Gore does not deserve your shielding against his own bad behavior.174.103.158.201 (talk) 22:21, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Please read Verifiability, BLP, WP:BIO and NOR to understand our perspective and why everything you might wish to write cannot be written in a biography. Thanks. Wifione  Message 03:03, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

proposed changes to Byzantine Empire article
I am interested in Byzantine history and find the final collapse and aftermath of the Empire to be interesting. I felt some details were lacking, so I found what I could online. Since the subject article is a featured article, are there any restrictions on adding material? I found some new material and only some of it comes from scholarly sources. However, I think it is all valid.Bill Pollard (talk) 07:15, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Bill, there are no particular restrictions as long as you stick to our sourcing policies. Feel free to write back for more assistance. Wifione  Message 03:04, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

I noticed you had blocked user Baboon43 .......
... in the April 2012 timeframe. I found this out because about a half-hour ago, this user put a section called "Cowards" on my talk page, with the line "cowards don't belong on Wikipedia" ????????? I have no idea who this nut is, or why the msg was left. He has recently had his talk page 'archived' and it is difficult to find, because the archive doesn't show up. ANYWAY, I am just notifying you because you seem to have had to use Administrative discipline on him in the past, and thought I'd bring this to your attention. Thanks.

 * I'll nudge him up. Wifione  Message03:09, 18 July 2012 (UTC)


 * tell that dimwit to not attack me on talk pages Baboon43 (talk) 03:54, 18 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Wifione - ok, now I remember who he is - take a look at the various "conspiracy theory" posts here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Syrian_uprising_(2011–present) [Request Move 2]- seems to be trolling. Couple of other editors also admonished him. HammerFilmFan (talk) 04:56, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Hammer, I've started keeping a watch on the comments of Baboon. Baboon, this is again a straightforward advice before a formal warning to stop addressing individuals in the manner that you seem to be doing. Wifione  Message 09:38, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Autopatrolling request
Hi, apologies for taking so long to reply. It's been 10 days without Internet at my place (and counting) and I'm losing patience with BT!

Article feedback edit tag
Hi Wifione. I noticed that you are an edit filter manager. I was hoping we could create an edit tag that appears when someone adds feedback to an article. That way, you could filter edits for feedback. It could be similar to the "Section blanking" style tags, but would instead say something like "Adding article feedback". You can find relevant discussion at User talk:Okeyes (WMF). Ryan Vesey Review me!  14:52, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Let me go through this Ryan. Thanks for the interesting proposition. Wifione  Message 09:57, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Request for page protection
Hi Wifione: If it is permitted under policy, can you please fully protect User:EngineerFromVega/Identity. Since I'm not an administrator, no one will be able to modify my SHA512 string if my account is hacked.

Thanks in advance!  EngineerFromVega ★  10:08, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Question
Hello Wifione, how are you today? I am a new Wikipedia contributor (And I hope to be for a long time and maybe an Administrator in the future), Since you are someone who makes nominations for admin ship, I am wondering if you could answer one question, How long would you say is a long enough time to prove to the community you are a good future administrator? A few months, A year? how long would you say.

Thanks, John F. Lewis (talk) 01:16, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi John and welcome to wikipedia! There has never been any editor who passes WP:RFA with experience less then 6 months. Lately, the standards of RFA have gone high thus community, to trust anyone looks upon regular editing of 10 months or 1 year. It is not only dependent on experience. Factors such as judgement skills, content contributions, civility and knowledge in admin-related areas are one of the major factors which editor take for consideration during RFA. You might also like to read Miniguide to requests for adminship. Cheers!  TheSpecialUser TSU 01:28, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Are you shure this is a real article? I haven't found the references online... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Panda bulgaro (talk • contribs) 21:08, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello Sir.

My name is arun kumar sharma. I am an INDIAN. I am highly interested in the military and military aviation and i am also very knowledgeable about it. So i want to become an administrator in wikipedia to get some essential rights which are required for me to editing and doing some other task. I swear that i will help to increase the reputation of the wikipedia. So sir, please nominate me for adminship and i will provide my 100 % efforts to improve the wikipedia. Thank You Sir. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arun sharma 101 (talk • contribs) 17:13, 16 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Arun and welcome to wikipedia! If you are intrested in military, why not join Military history. There has never been any editor who passes WP:RFA with experience of less then 6 months. Lately, the standards of RFA have gone high thus community, to trust anyone looks upon regular editing of 10 months or an year at least. It is not only dependent on experience. Factors such as judgement skills, content contributions, civility and knowledge in admin-related areas as well as understanding of policies are one of the major factors which editor take for consideration during RFA. You might also like to readMiniguide to requests for adminship and Advice for RfA candidates. Right now, you have no chances to pass RFA and your request will be closed per WP:NOTNOW as your intentions are not clear. You don't need admin bit to improve those articles. Happy editing!

ISB wiki page
Hi Wifione

I am not that old to Wiki and have contributed to the ISB page in the past. Going thru your latest changes, I have a few questions for you:


 * What language did you find promotional on the page? Trying to learn more and more about Wiki, I have tried to oversee as well as add information that was neutral and factual in its tone


 * Why do you consider non-accreditation by AICTE as a controversy? While you yourself have kept the info on the former Dean stating that ISB did not reach AICTE - why does need to be the intro and be regarded as a controversy?


 * Between AICTE & AACSB - who do you think recognizes schools? AICTE is an Indian body that is concerned with meeting of fixed criterion and 'approves' institutes while AACSB is the oldest global accreditation agency.

Let me know your thoughts so that I can know the way forward in the future
