Retiring

I am officially retiring after this message,

This has been a bit over 1 year where I edited wikipedia. I do have tons ofWikistress from a couple months ago. Yesterday, the 17 June 2011, I finally realized that I am no good here. It would be better if I wasn't here at all so that others don't have to spend that much time here. I do like to new page patrol, and help out but I am no good at either. People might now think that I read the messages on my talk page or anywhere else but I do. I do keep attention on all of my messages. Even very uncivil comments such as Promethean (talk · contribs)'s editor review comments. I admit it, I am just a "power hungry flag-whore". I will be on other wikis but here there are too many people (47,351,936) and too many policies. We could merge many together. en.wikipedia is overcomplicated. I am way better at translating on meta. Good bye, ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs11:35, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

P.S. I may come back to make some projects.

Oups, forgot to say. I will be screwing up my userpage. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs11:37, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Best wishes and good luck with whatever you choose to do next. I have gone ahead and removed your rollback and reviewer rights since you will no longer be using them.28bytes (talk) 15:07, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Indeed, good luck. I don't think that you're "no good" here. I can't speak for anyone else, but I kept an eye on your edits from time to time, not becuase I thought you were "no good" but because I thought you showed potential and obviously wanted to help out. You did make some mistakes, but I think that was partly because of the areas you chose to focus on, which perhaps were more the domain of more experienced editors. That said, there's absolutely no point being here if it causes you stress or if it's not fun for you. You seemed to like the "meta" side of things here, so maybe Meta will be better for you. --BelovedFreak 15:40, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I am here now to make a wizard for getting new users to learn the ropes fromstrategy:Proposal:Accelerating the learning curve for new editors. Thanks for removing the privileges, I know that I will not use them anymore but if I come back completely refreshed, could I re-request them? ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs15:54, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Sure, WP:PERM is just a click away. 28bytes (talk) 15:58, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Whoa, there's no need to retire, most of us started out as rights-hungry, I myself was guilty of this myself. But that doesn't mean we can't turn over a new leaf and focus on other things. I do hope you come back out of retirement in 1 or 2 months, you always did your best to follow policy. A retirement/wikibreak will help alleviate your burdens. —James ^{(Talk • Contribs)} •10:34pm • 12:34, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Ethnikos Gazoros F.C.

Hello Ebe123. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Ethnikos Gazoros F.C., a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. —GFOLEY FOUR—16:00, 19 June 2011 (UTC), Logan _Talk^{Contributions} 16:00, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello. You have a new message at Logan's talk page. Logan _Talk^{Contributions} 16:04, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Why did you request unporotection of that article at RfPP? Firstly, you're clearly not aware of the background (it was protected because of serious BLP violations, not because of some worthless ruling by a body that didn't have the power to make it) and secondly, the instructions and the policy clearly state that you should consult the protecting admin (for which you could pick myself, SlimVirgin or Cenarium) first, all the more so when you're not familiar with the previous issues. HJ Mitchell| Penny for your thoughts? 19:37, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

I think that an admin should fix the article, not just protect it. By just protecting it, you are just protecting the article from improvement. Just add an edit-notice to read WP:BLPbefore editing the article. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs19:44, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

I do agree with you that WP:ArbCom or as you call "GovCom" did not have the power to do it. It wasn't even worth the Wikimedia Foundation to host it. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs19:18, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Apart from that, could you also explain what you mean by saying the arbcom ruling has "expired"?— Carl (CBM · talk) 03:13, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Read for yourself. WP:ARB/N. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs19:44, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Wrong ruling. I apologise for the delay in replying, I've been busy, but that article is the subject of a completely different ruling. Requesting unprotection of articles, especially those where there are serious BLP issues (that would not be negated by asking people nicely to read a policy), without consulting the protecting admin is a very bad idea and very discourteous. And doing it without the slightest bit of research beyond a quick glance at the protection log is an even worse one. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:01, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Shouldn't an sysop or someone else that can edit protected pages try to fix the problems? ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs22:30, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

The version that's protected is not the one with problems. If you have an edit you'd like to make, use the {{editprotected}} template and an admin will be along. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:36, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

So why is the article protected if the version dosn't have any problems? ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs23:00, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Because there has been a history of BLP problems. If we leave it unprotected, those problems are likely to continue. —GFOLEY FOUR—16:08, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

FYI

Bans aren't called "blocks" on ACC. Cheers, —GFOLEY FOUR—20:23, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Concerning WP:DEADLINK on IPhone

May I ask why you're removing the dead links on IPhone? WP:DEADLINK says "do not delete a URL solely because the URL does not work any longer." Is there some other reason for the removal of the references? Replacing dead links with citation needed tags is contradicted by WP:DEADLINK, which says "WP:Verifiability does not require that all information be supported by a working link, nor does it require the source to be published on-line." -SudoGhost™ 23:15, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't know WP:DEADLINK. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs19:18, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Ah, my apologies then. I'm trying to find archived versions, hopefully to save the references.- SudoGhost™ 21:30, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Well, at least that I stopped myself. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs21:35, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Portal:Bolivia

For someone who's apparently semi-retired, you still seem to be making lots of edits... Anyway, can you decide whether or not you want to continue with this nomination? Not responding to comments for some weeks does tend to suggest that you've lost interest. If you want to withdraw it, no problem, just let me know. Bencherlite^Talk 08:44, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

I don't want to continue. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs19:18, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

WP:DRN

Hi there, just letting you know I've undone your adding of a new section link to this page, as it defeats the purpose of having the page, which is to use the button to add a new section, as we are trying to add some structure to the page. But thanks for setting up auto archiving. Steven Zhang ^{The clock is ticking....} 21:53, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for saying that the auto-archiving is good. I thought that the new section link was good because that on other pages like that one, there are those links. You cannot have all is what I say in this situation. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs21:57, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

It's a common feature on most boards, but is counter-productive to the purpose of the new board, which is to keep discussions focused and on topic. Allowing people to bypass the form that they need to fill out in order to give us an understanding on the issues they are bringing to the board kinda defeats the purpose of the board, so I've removed the section link. Steven Zhang ^{The clock is ticking....} 22:03, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

I guess that you're right. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs22:05, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Soulscraper (album)

Hello Ebe123. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Soulscraper (album), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A9 only applies where the artist has no article. This may well fail WP:NALBUMS, but it can't be speedied. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 12:18, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Should users be allowed to remove current block notices

When changing section titles it is helpful to check if there are links to the title, and update them. When (correctly) appending the question mark to the section title it broke the link from CENT. I have now updated CENT. SilkTork *^{Tea time} 18:29, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Oups, I didn't know that it was on CENT. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs19:51, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Neil Munro (footballer)

Hello Ebe123. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Neil Munro (footballer), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern:playing for Scotland is certainly a sufficient claim of importance to pass A7.

Flash info: Failed. That is what I think will happen. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs17:51, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

There's really no need to feel like that. There are only a few points remaining, I would just appreciate it if you only said points were done when you had actually changed them.Sanders11 (talk) 21:51, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: List of Almost Heroes episodes page marked for deletion

The article in question does in fact exist. The link wasn't working because of a typo. I would assume that it is not standard to mark things for deletion without the slightest hesitation. The show is easily found through Google and through the Wikipedia search bar anyways. I was also in the middle of editing the page from scratch. Looking at your talk page I see several speedy deletion declines... CrocodilesAreForWimps (talk) 20:58, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

It is not a speedy deletion, also, sorry for the misunderstanding, I looked at Almost Heroesand other names because I thought that it must be a typo. Well sorry for the misunderstanding. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs22:18, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello Ebe 123,

I saw your note on my talk page. Thank you. I appreciate your help and can sure use any mentoring possible. I am interested in sincerely contributing to Mr. Gutierrez' biography. I am afraid I went in to the biography and inserted changes, and it caused a whole lot of problems, which I apologize. If you have time, would you mind helping me add to Mr. Gutierrez' biography. I would like to work to make it the best site possible and contribute as a team. Fluffermutter established a talk page. I incorporated his suggestions and wrote additional information. Your help is greatly appreciated. And, I will be glad to pay you for your time to help me edit. Thank you.--Maryphillips1952 (talk) 18:07, 29 June 2011 (UTC) My email is maryphillips52yahoo.com

Explain

Could you please explain this edit? I asked a perfectly valid question, and you simply removed the thread, most likely because you just wanted WP:DRAMAwith your so-called retirement. Are you actually retiring, which could hurt your adoptees, or was it just a way to get attention? Honestly, I don't appreciate what you did.Logan _Talk^{Contributions} 00:51, 1 July 2011 (UTC) What, I am not retiring but I will not have ethernet or Wi-fi for 7 days. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs11:27, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I read that and I'm still wondering why it needs an AfD? Don't have a problem with it really, but just wondering why it needs the AfD --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 17:31, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Notability, and possible vandalism. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs17:33, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

La goutte de pluie

Hello Ebe123, please stop writing on La goutte de pluie's talk page and nominating her files for deletion. This is starting to border on harassment, in my opinion. I don't know if this image should be deleted, as I try to keep away from the file namespace, but even if it were, it's really not appropriate of you to nominate it, after being so vocal on La goutte de pluie's talk page. Please, disengage and start ignoring her; there are many other editors who will be ready to intervene, should she break any rules. Salvio ^{Let's talk about it!} 13:45, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Wikification drive

Heya Ebe - first of all, welcome to the Project, and more specifically to the August drive. However, just so you know, the drive doesn't "officially" start until 0:00 UTC time on August 1st, so I've removed the articles you had listed. Again though, thank you for participating, and happy wikifying. :) Nolelover^{Talk·Contribs} 23:20, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarifying. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs10:37, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm wondering if you would want to participate in the Abandoned Drafts Drive. My experience with abandoned drafts show that lots need to be wikifyed. We also don't have that many participants. I thought you might be interested in participating. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs14:00, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

"Abandoned drafts"? What exactly is that? Sounds interesting - can you give a link?Nolelover ^{Talk·Contribs} 14:33, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

WP:WikiProject Abandoned Drafts is the WikiProject link and WP:WikiProject Abandoned Drafts/Drive is the drive link. Abandoned Drafts are userspace drafts which were not edited for a long time (see WP:STALEDRAFT) or that the editor is retired. We take the pages, improve them to wikipedia's standards (includes wikifying) and then we get them to mainspace. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs14:39, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Huh...that's an interesting one. I'll be happy too, but I'm just so incredibly busy right now that I can't make any promises. Thanks for the link though! Nolelover ^{Talk·Contribs} 14:45, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Its okay to not participate. Its your call. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs14:48, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Wikification Drvie

Hey Ebe, just wanted to drop you a quick note about your work on the August Wikification drive. While I most certainly appreciate your work there, I just want to ask you to make sure that you're only taking credit for articles that you really work on and actually finish wikifying. For example, diff shows that all you did to your first credited article was remove a gallery and the wikify tag. If you think that an article doesn't need to be wikified at all, and there are plenty of those, then please just remove the tag and go on. However, Ryan Vesey wasable to do a good bit more. Also, this article andthis one (especially the lead and Honors sections) aren't fully wikifed. If you need any help, drop me a note. Cheers, Nolelover ^{Talk·Contribs} 14:28, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

There are some drafts that aren't tests and are abandoned. For the test pages, just nominate for deletion. Like there are lots of pages that are called "Enter your new article name here", nom them, maybe even G6 them. ~~Ebe123~~^talk_Contribs11:17, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Is there some reason why you want this article to link to the book Bad Astronomy instead of the web site Badastronomy.com? -- 202.124.72.139(talk) 10:37, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

You're in charge

With everything you've been doing lately for the Wikiproject, you're pretty much in charge at this point. And i'm completely fine with that. I have college coming up in two weeks, so I won't be on nearly as often as I am, so it's up to you to keep things moving along swimmingly. I know you can do it. ^_^ Silverseren^C 10:20, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

My objective was not to be in charge but thanks anyways. ~~Ebe123~~^talk_Contribs10:21, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

GOCE drive newsletter

Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their September 2011 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy editing backlog. The drive will begin on September 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on September 30 at 23:59 (UTC).

Barnstars will be given to anyone who edits more than 4,000 words, with special awards for the top 5 in the categories "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". See you at the drive! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters. >>> Sign up now <<<

Mentorship of User:Thisthat2011

Per the relevant ANI discussion, a topic ban has been enacted on this editor - seeUser_talk:Thisthat2011#Topic_ban. A number of editors including yourself offered to mentor the user during their topic ban, hence this notice. I have informed all these editors and will place a list of those willing to mentor on the user's talkpage. Thanks, Black Kite (t) (c) 23:54, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Botchecking

The transfers to Commons that you made today are all good images to transfer, and the licensing information and descriptions are all good. An appropriate category has been added, which is also great. However, they have not yet been botchecked. As I stated in the guide I wrote, images moved to Commons need to be botchecked in order to pass all criteria. If you do that for the images you uploaded, I'll be glad to review them as good moves. All the best, – Quadell ^(talk) 13:39, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

What is "botchecked", is it a bot on commons checks the image? ~~Ebe123~~ (+) ^talk
_Contribs13:41, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

No, I'm sorry, I should explain. At the top of the page on Commons there will be a yellow-orange box that begins with "This file was moved to Wikimedia Commons from en.wikipedia using a bot script." Clicking the "Check now!" link opens up an editing window that may fix some issues, and at the very least will remove the yellow-orange box after you click save. That way, Commons will know that the move has actually been seen by a human being, who confirms that the transfer occurred without a problem. – Quadell^(talk) 13:43, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Linking

Just tossing a "there's a thread at WP:AN you are involved in" comment onto the most watched user talk page on WP ain't very useful. A link to the actual discussion at WP:AN would have been a start (I've done that) and given it was Jimbo's talk, a link as to why Jimbo was involved would have been more beneficial for the obviously large target audience. (- Redacted some bits) Sorry -don't mean to come over as aggresive, but you do need to add links for these kind of things.Pedro : Chat  20:13, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
