Re: The revert on Socialism
Yes, you're absolutely right: your edit was made in good faith and I should not have reverted it without an explanation. Normally I do provide explanatory edit summaries, but this time I decided to use, for the first time, the automatic revert feature of those navigation popups, just to test it out. Since it was my first time using it, I didn't know whether or not the auto-revert function would give me the opportunity to create an edit summary, and it turned out that it would not. Your edits were the unfortunate guinea pig, I'm afraid. ... Anyway, sorry about that! -- WGee 02:15, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

This adoption thing is paying off!
Hi Xiner,

Thanks to your recent lesson on user warnings and vandalism, I was able to jump on two back-to-back incidents today. One affected WP:BIO, and required a revert. The other was on the WP:BIO talk page. In both cases, the individuals were not logged on as users, so I posted the warnings to the talk pages of their IP addresses.

I wanted to ask your advice about an interesting post on the discussion page of a bio entry I've worked on for a TV producer named Quinn Martin. It turns out that in the 1920s, there was a film critic by the same name. The user suggested that there should be a notice acknowledging that this is a different Quinn Martin. So far, I have not been able to find out much about him, so I do not want to create a new article yet. But without it, I can't disambiguate. Is there a standrard template or statement that could go at the top of the article that would say "if you are looking for the 1920s Quinn Martin, don't look here"? Does that makes sense?

I'm off for dinner. Will check in later. As always, thanks for your help.--Vbd 03:00, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

what's that now?
Consistent? Am I? I'm so distracted sometimes I don't know. If I'm consistent, it's probably my subconscious playing out on the keyboard, because I can't keep enough lists in my head of what I've said in the past. What spurred you to say that, anyway? — coe l acan t a lk  — 05:24, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi User talk:87.102.9.117
Just got your message - very odd - you've just replied to a query I had on the help desk about spam and the levi article.. But I haven't edited Talk:Loma Prieta earthquake - some sort of mix up perhaps??87.102.9.117 19:21, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Qestion that was deleted..
I asked an important question on the Humanities desk which was subsequently deleted by User talk:87.102.9.117 who you have asked not to delete questions or comments of other users without their permission. Could you help me restore the question and the responses which folowed so as to avoid a situation where the act of its deletion can prevent ligitimate responses to the question? Thanks. -- Barringa 20:53, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar! In all my time on Wikipedia, I haven't received one yet, so it means a lot. And thanks for pointing out the spelling of "userfy".

Re: Polar Bear edits
If you had followed the link in my edit summary, you'd see that the purpose applying dates to links is for auto-formatting of dates in accordance with individuals' Wikipedia preferences. Wikilinking dates, especially just years in isolation, was never supposed to be used to add importance to them. 1774 is no more interesting than any other year, regardless of what was discussed on the Talk page; all that it means is that the participants in the discussion were ignorant of Wikistyle and policies. Furthermore, your removal of the word "Some" at the beginning of the second paragraph implies that all scientists share a particular view. Can you substantiate this edit with facts? &mdash;QuicksilverT @ 19:07, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Independence
Looks like a heated battle that is going nowhere. You have a form of Mission creep which I refer now to as info creep. If I read it correctly someone is trying to add additional info that clarifies where Bush came from. Without looking at all the edits (my head feels like a balloon ready to burst due to stuffy sinuses), the info creep has gone beyond what you as an editor would like to see in this article. I have seen and been in similiar efforts regarding other articles. Your problem is you are up against an obstinate person who is not going to give up on the issue. Unless you can find some other contributing editors who will back you in the dispute, it will rage until a compromise is found. 3RR issues could arise (if they already have not).

Basically I see this as a statement that has a very slight error in it. Most people think Bush is from Texas for all the obvious reasons. Trying to get the anon IP to agree to that will be difficult because of the info creep about his CT origins.

From an outside perspective, the best recommendation is to come up with a one line explanation which could be difficult as it involves an unsourced statement but one that is obvious. Maines' statement about Texas could be construided as slightly incorrect because Bush is originally from CT. IMHO, that has been done on the DC's talkpage. But, to reach compromise or consensus should be your key. Either get it with other editors who have contributed to the editor or place a statement that you can live with in the paragraph. 23:34, 12 February 2007 (UTC)


 * From my perspective, yes, from Texas describes the Bush family almost to a tee. However, from the bigger NPOV context, from CT also factors in. Either fight on, seek consensus or move along little doggie. My vote still is for consensus. Ronbo76 23:58, 12 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Better, the transplant statement a bit awkward but fitting. I was just watching Inside Edition and they said the emmy wins were a vindication of the DC vs B from a Hollywood/US perspective. I hope the olive branch works and is one the other side can live with. Ronbo76 00:22, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

RfA
Thanks for the inquiry. I like to think I could pass an RfA (I know, it's not a trophy, but it is at least a vote of confidence), despite having used "ARE YOU STUPID?" as an edit summary and section heading in a posting last year (September?) (I was just trying to get the guy's attention, unsuccessfully, it turned out, not attack him; it's a long story). But I'm not interested, at least for a while -- I don't think I would add the most value by being an admin, as opposed to some of the other things I want to do to improve Wikipedia (for example, the index I've been working on).

I'm flattered to be asked, and I congratulate you on getting someone else into the RfA process in what looks like a probable success. Please keep up the good work; as I've commented elsewhere, the more (good) admins we have, the better. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 14:17, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

dumb question
I know, I know. . . there's no such thing as a dumb question. But I can't quite get my head around why there is a category "living people." Can you explain the rationale? Cheers! --Vbd 02:51, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Because not everybody is alive? Mathmo Talk 03:02, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I can't believe you got it wrong, Mathmo. :) If that were the only reason, I'd say it's trivial and should be deleted. Xiner (talk, email)

I'm in a bit of a hurry, but my cursory review of the discussion provided a couple of insights as to why the category was kept: (1) because Jimmy (Jimbo) Walsh said so; and (2) it provides some administrative function that allows editors to more easily monitor vandalism and potential libel.


 * Thanks for the heads up on the WP:3R; I had skimmed through it before. I hope not to walk that line.


 * You also had something about a user not signing a talk entry. So if I don't sign this now, then I could come back later and add  and it would show up as —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vbd (talk • contribs) .  Kind of cool.  Thanks!  Must run.  Must try not to WP again today.  --Vbd 21:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * You wrote in response, "The template is usually used when someone else forgets to sign their message. It's useful to let others know who the author is."  Makes sense, but how am I supposed to know who the unsigned person is?  I guess that if I don't sign this post, you would be able to add the  template to it.  But in other cases?--Vbd 23:19, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, yeah I just felt kinda uneasy semi-protecting straight away because this I felt that this would basically be breaching “good faith” practice – we’ve got to give people a chance to participate on equal footing. If the IP user does not engage on talk page, I think we can say that this chance has been given.

As for your request for protection; I think if you’d put in the semi a couple of hours later, it would have been accepted. Bare in mind that we tend to approach the protection page with the logic that not protecting is the better choice if unsure. You could request straight away but it may get turned down as being pre-emptive; you could wait a day or so after full protection is lifted and if vandalism resumes, then re-request.

In this case, I’ll be happy to semi-protect (with no need for a request) by Friday evening (UK time; that’s the same as UTC times), if signs are that vandalism will return to the levels it was at previously. Robdurbar 16:15, 13 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid I couldn't say. There are no guidelines and as rule most admins don't count numbers (I've never heard of an 80/20 rule when closing xfd's, though its not something I do very much). You can see my own personal rationale, but I would say that my judgement tends to be slightly towards not-protecting (though only, I hope, slightly!). Remeber that the nature of the vandalism is important too - for example, if "Dixie Chicks" is being replaced with pcitures of penises or with vulgar/offensive/racist stuff, we'd be much more quick to lock it down than with people writing "hello mum" or "you smell".


 * In general, if a page has had over 5/6 vandalising edits from multiple different ips in a day for a prolonged period, then it may be semi-protected, but it depends on the type of vandalism etc. If its at levels of over about 10 a day then it definately will be semi-protected. --Robdurbar 12:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry to go back on what I've written above, but I've just had a massive research proposal thrown at me that I've got to get working on immediatly. Basically, I'm not gonna come onto Wikipedia for a couple of weeks, so I won't be about to semi-p DC if necessary. Again, I advise you to leave it at least 12 hours/1 day once the page is unprotected, to check that vandalism/disruption returns. Hope all goes well! --Robdurbar 15:54, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Subcategorising
Hi Xiner, I would like to ask your opinion about something. I've re-read WP:SUBCAT and I remain uncertain about doubling-up on categorisations. If someone is listed under Category:Canadian immigrants to the United States, should they also be listed as a Category:Canadian Americans? I used to think the answer was no; now I am not so sure. Any thoughts? Thanks!--Vbd | (Talk) 18:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I realize that the answer in WP:SUBCAT is essentially, "It depends." That's why I am looking for some input.  Do you have an opinion about categorising these bio articles?--Vbd | (talk) 01:55, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks! You're a big help!  ;-)    I'm signing off now; will get back to you later.--Vbd | (talk) 02:13, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, I'm trying to come up with a consistent rationale for a bunch of bios. Compare Eric McCormack and Michael J. Fox.  Both are Canadian actors who have had successful careers in the U.S. and have become U.S. citizens along the way.  This qualifies them both to be categorised in the subcategory Category:Canadian immigrants to the United States.  But McCormack is also listed in the main category, Category:Canadian Americans, and Fox is not.  Either they both should be, or neither should be.


 * So, to go back to my original question, I'm uncertain about how to apply the principles set forth in WP:SUBCAT. I'm beginning to think that the Secondary categorization rule might make sense.  I'm just looking for some feedback.  (I've posted this on the talk page for the cat., but have yet to get a response.) --Vbd | (talk) 08:05, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

More on subcategorising Canadians
Saw your nomination on Cfd; still not sure how I will weigh in on your proposal. I found it interesting that you make the following statement: "[I]t'd make better sense to list 'Canadian emigrants' and 'Canadian Americans' on [Michael J. Fox's] page to denote where he is from, and where he is now" (emphasis added). To me, the one category, "Canadian immigrants to the United States," conveys exactly that information.

It is the "Canadian American" category that I have a problem with. Should it encompass immigrants and expats and people of Canadian descent? Or should each of those be broken out into subcats? I lean towards subcategorising more, not less.--Vbd | (talk) 19:35, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Aha. So I haven't picked up on the presumption that "Canadian American" is the label for Canadian who have become U.S. citizens.  I see your point about redundancy, but I think the "Canadian immigrants..." is clearer and more obvious.  Who is not included in "Canadian American"?  expats?  What are your thought on "Americans of Canadian descent" (born in U.S. to Canadian parents)?--Vbd | (talk) 19:56, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Note: There are about a dozen subcats of "Foo-ian immigrants to the United States" under Category:Immigrants to the United States.  Are you proposing mergers of these as well?


 * Slightly separate question that has come up coincidently with our discussion . . . Michael J. Fox was a "Canadian expat actor in the U.S." until he became a U.S. citizen and stopped being an expat. Does his past status as an expat mean that he should still be included in Category:Canadian expatriate actors in the United States?  Are there guidelines on retroactive application of categories?--Vbd | (talk) 19:56, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Categorising people
From Categorization of people: "People are usually categorized by their nationality and occupation. . . . People are sometimes categorized by notable residence, in the form People from Foo (not "Natives of Foo"), regardless of ethnicity, heritage, or nationality. . . .  Nationality is reflected by the occupation category (above), not country or county or city of residence. The place of birth is rarely notable."


 * From this, Michael J. Fox can be categorized in Category:Canadian actors and Category:American actors because he is a dual citizen. He should not be listed in the category Category:People from Edmonton because his place of birth is not notable.--Vbd | (talk) 21:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

RE: WP:AIV
Hi. I see that my report of an IP was rejected for having the last warning being 10 days ago. I can't find a guideline for what to do -- there doesn't seem to be a consensus. How many days would you say should go by before the testx sequence has to be repeated? Thanks. Xiner (talk, email) 21:23, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi. I am not sure exactly which report you are referring to so I can't comment on the specific instance. In general, unless it is clear that the IP is not shared, the last warning should have been very recent as an older warning is very likely to have been directed at a different individual. You are corret that there is no definitive duration (WP:AIV says a "recent last warning"), but I would say that it should be within the last 24 hours. This is clearly a grey area, but 10 days would be too long in most cases. Hope that helps. Cheers TigerShark 18:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Xiner. I cleaned up my user page. Just to point something out, on internet explorer with standard settings, my user page is pretty organized. But using the school's internet, Firefox, the page is very messy.

Also, just to put in a good word for my dear friend Computernurd22, he's a very attentive student, and I'm sure that he would benifit A LOT from your teaching. See ya. --Cremepuff222 (talk) 22:52, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

image question, continued
Hi there,

Thanks for helping me. So I already uploaded the image onto a page. It is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acne_amy

Now, I am confused about where on the image page you mean about there being Licensing info - I do not see any link that says that. Here is the page where the image exists already...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Acne_amy.jpg

Clearly I should have checked out the copyrighting stuff prior to uploading but I didn't realize there was a whole process :)

Thanks!

There was a cute cartoon in this week's New Yorker -- its caption was, "I'm giving up Google for Lent." I've been thinking about giving up WP for Lent (though I am not Catholic), but I seem to be hooked. How long have you been doing this? How many hours a day do you spend on it?

Abbas Kiarostami
Hi Xiner!

Over the last few months I was working on Abbas Kiarostami to make it a feature article. Tha article have been copyeditted numerous times and also it had peer review for A-class assessment. It also passed GA assessment. Based on the feedbacks I got from peer reviewers and also during GA assessment, I think the article is pretty much ready to become FA. However it may be better to have a final round of copyeditting preferably by English native speakers. Would that be possible for you to help me in this final stage? Thanks!

Technical question
Hey Xiner! Thanks for the assignment; I'll get to it later. I appreciate having the templates, particularly the "edit summary" one. Thanks to one of your earlier assignments, I have been tagging vandals regularly. My technical question is tangentially related. I have noticed in a couple of instances, when using templates that include my signature within the "}" brackets, that my signature gets truncated. The "talk" link and the date and time stamp don't appear. It happened with the welcome "known user" template you provided. If you want, take a look at my sandbox and compare a Cfr example. In that case, I could simply move my signature outside of the "}" bracket. But I don't think I can do that with the welcome message. Thoughts? --Vbd | (talk) 02:22, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * For example,


 * OldCategory

becomes



Category:OldCategory

 * Propose renaming Category:OldCategory to Category:NewCategory
 * Nominator's Rationale:

Note how you only get "Vbd" for my signature.

But if I manually move the tildes outside of the curly brackets,


 * OldCategory ~

then my usual signature appears:



Category:OldCategory

 * Propose renaming Category:OldCategory to Category:NewCategory
 * Nominator's Rationale: Vbd | (talk) 02:52, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

The registered user welcome template that you have posted -- -- does not show the tildes within the brackets (they must be embedded in the code) but creates the same truncation problem.

Whaddya think?--Vbd | (talk) 02:52, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, but I'm not the one creating the templates. I can manually fix the signature when using the Cfd template, but I can't with the w-basic template.  And you are right, the welcome-anon template does not include an automated signature.--Vbd | (talk) 03:04, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Xiner. Turns out I can't stay away entirely, but I am trying to stay low-key. (Did you et my e-mail?)

So I wanted to invite you to consider a Cfd I've posted (also here). Thanks.--Vbd (talk) 04:12, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: User:65.120.148.3
The only contribution from that IP today was a harmless newbie edit, not drastic vandalism that demands retribution. I agree with you that a school block is a fairly innocuous way to deal with vandalism, but in my opinion that specific report to WP:AIV did not require a block. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 18:19, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, step back and take a breath. That edit was a minor mistake that replaced ==Lyrics== with Author:James Weldon Johnson - the author responsible for writing "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing." It was a minor faux pas, inconsistent with WP:MOS, but utterly harmless and probably made in good faith. I salute you for fixing the error, but posting non-admin fwarn, much less posting the IP on AIV because of such an edit is a perfect example of needlessly biting newbies. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 18:32, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I give up. Xiner (talk, email) 18:34, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Today there were two distinct contributors originating from that school. One was copyediting Lance Armstrong, the other was vandalizing Bessie Coleman. Do you mean to point out that vandalism was eventually posted by that IP? Fine, but in hindsight I still agree with the initial assessment to dismiss yesterday's report. I've been an administrator for less than a week, yet it is already apparent that a large part of the job is determening when not to act - when to take WP:AGF to heart. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 22:57, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't call the change substantive, but it is accurate. Look, with a myopic enough analysis you can find malice behind anything. I don't want to continue nitpicking this IP's edits with you, it's obvious that our opinions differ. I am all right with that and you should be too.

Hello, Xiner! I thought that the template for the greeting you showed me was pretty boring, so I created my own! Can you tell me if I've included all of the important things? It's located at User:Cremepuff222/Greeting. -- Cremepuff222 (<font color="2F4F4F">talk, <font color="2F4F4F">sign book ) 19:41, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I suppose it is slightly large. :) I'll see what I can do. -- Cremepuff222  (<font color="2F4F4F">talk, <font color="2F4F4F">sign book ) 19:45, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Aye. I see what you mean. When I first started, the size of Wikipedia was overwelming! (It still is!) -- Cremepuff222 (<font color="2F4F4F">talk, <font color="2F4F4F">sign book ) 19:51, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Xiner. I recently had an incident at my autograph book and I reported it here. -- Cremepuff222 (<font color="2F4F4F">talk, <font color="2F4F4F">sign book ) 21:06, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. At the moment, the vandalism seems to be pretty localized, and it is a shared IP, so it doesn't seem like blocking right now would do much good. If it does start to vandalize continuously, though, then we might consider it. -- Nataly a 00:58, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

You said there was an anon who gave incorrect info, where you talking about the IP posting this comment? If you did, Mishatx's edit should be reverted. - Mgm|(talk) 05:47, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
