Anti-Semitic troll

Greetings -- just FYI, the unblock you just declined was this one. Pay special attention to the screeds left on the page (Jayron deleted the worst of them) and his insulting style--most trolls just insult people with the standard abusive Anglo-Saxon words, and they're easy to ignore, and once in a while there is one who insults with real subtlety and malice, including implied threats. This is a nasty one, IMO. Cheers, and thanks, Antandrus (talk) 06:05, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I was just looking at some of that. Thank you, Tiptoety talk 06:07, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Mmbabies threat posted

Why did you say to WP:RBI on the recent threat made by user:Mmbabies. Well, I saw a the ANI posting of a someone stating that a person made a death threat to the Betabot; and the community went all the offence saying that "if targeted a person in question" then we should call the police. The ANI complait I posted on this idoit, has a person's name mentioned in the threat. If you keep saying to RBI; and WHAT IF something does happend .... and Mmbabies does seriously harm someone. What are you going to say about that. To reply or not, drop me a line at my talk page. --Rio de oro (talk) 16:20, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
I am really too tired to sit here and argue with you about this. That was just my opinion on the situation, if you want to call the cops, then be my guest. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 16:51, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

March 14 OR COTW

Hello again or welcome if you are new to WP:WikiProject Oregon! Last week we did a picture drive and a NRHP creation drive. It’s hard to track the picture results, but I know I saw quite a few pictures added, so great job. With NRHP we added 7 that I saw: Mitchell Recreation Area, Salem First United Methodist Church, Portland City Hall, Crater Lake Lodge, Central Library (Portland, Oregon), Watchman Lookout Station, and Alvin T. Smith House; with most now nominated for DYK’s! So great work everybody.

This week, its back to stubs with one of the largest newspapers in the state, The Register-Guard, and a request with Oregon Coast. Feel free to help with either one, and the paper article is so short a DYK should be pretty easy to get (just need 5X expansion). As always, to opt out, opt in, or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here. Aboutmovies (talk) 19:02, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Just dropping you a note acknowledging your questions - I'll try and get to them sometime tomorrow, once I've had a chance to let them percolate a bit. 'Specially that last one. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 04:19, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for the warning. I'll remove all indentifying information and such. But I think I'll keep the age there, as I see no harm in people knowing my age, as anyone knowing that someone else is 35 or 56. My age does not measure my knowledge of the internet and preadators, and I am not trying to say I know everything because I'm sure I know little. Thank you, anyways. :D And since you are an admin, could you delete Image:Userkkarmapage.jpg ?kkarma 05:54, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:Newb admin with a quick question

Speedily withdraw it and save the content I would guess. I'm not sure whether this has happened so there's nothing written down in policy. When the real nomination goes through just explain the whole situation. Malinaccier (talk) 03:32, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that is what I suggested in the above conversation, just note quite sure. I feel dumb, now I have to clean up my mess. Thanks for your help. Tiptoety talk 03:33, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Medal

When I was a new admin, I would always grow faint at the mention of deleting as much as 20 speedy articles. Once you get past the fear of screwing up after the community has entrusted you with the tools and you become bold, that's when you manage to clear backlogs. Don't start big, go small and then go large. When all else fails, a vodka shot helps get you giddy enough to clear backlogs effortlessly. :) bibliomaniac15 Midway upon life's journey... 04:46, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that is really actually good advice...and is true. I am scared of messing up, and as such do not delete everything that probably could be. And vodka always makes doing things easier, though I could get blocked for WUI, (wikiing under the influence.) :P Tiptoety talk 04:50, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Start with easy stuff like G1, G2, and other obvious stuff. Later you'll get a feel for the tougher A7, G11, and so on. Images are probably a thing to be avoided right now if you didn't actively work in tagging. bibliomaniac15 Midway upon life's journey... 04:52, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
No I did (tagging that is), and actually very often. Its just tagging does get you in quite as much trouble as deleting. (If you know what I mean) Tiptoety talk 04:53, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Why are you allowing vandalism?

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Interesting that a Wiki admin would revert a vandalized article (Chuck Knipp) back to the vandalized version. Not only are you allowing comments that certain bloggers are using illegal tactics to "stalk" this person, but you're allowing another author to be slandered as a lesbian (and a Florida State student). Perhaps you are a fan of Mr. Knipp, but you need to keep your fanboy behavior off Wikipedia. When a journalist is referred to as a "stalker" and unverified claims of illegal activity are written into a Wiki article and you think that's okay, something is wrong. StopSQLiquor (talk) 16:05, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Erm... Tiptoety talk 18:24, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
This isn't you? Uh, yeah. It IS you. Lessee...
- Blogger Keith Boykin also has [1]Knipp says that "Cannick is a professional victim and her obsession with me is creepy." (untrue and unverified)
- Black Entertainment Television writer Jennifer Daniels (a black lesbian Florida State University Undergraduate) - (verified as untrue on both accounts)
Okay, just making sure. Like I said, your fanboy love is interfering with your editing. But I see you have other Wiki admins backing you up, allowing for this kind of thing, so eh. StopSQLiquor (talk) 19:42, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Resolved

I was just thinking about the questions. I will answer them in the morning. Thanks and happy editing Rgoodermote  23:01, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 23:02, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Quick heads up I wasn't done with the RfA. I was going to work for a week before opening. You are obliged to your opinion but I wasn't finished...though good point rewording is needed, Please as I am using my Wii could you untransclude..if it is...haven't checked. Rgoodermote  01:34, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
AGGG! Oh, I had no idea, it looked like you had excepted the nom, and oh....my bad. Please expect my apologies. Tiptoety talk 01:36, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey, might I recommend that you well, dont work on the questions in the actual RfA, but instead on a subpage for this reason. Users are going to find that page and start !voting. Also, now that !votes have come in, I would recommend that instead of re-wording you just strike the comments you want to get rid of and add the new ones below, otherwise users are going to get confused. Tiptoety talk 01:41, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Yeah sorry about that. Probably is best to CSD that and call it a fuck up on my part...really hope no one reverts that. Becuase I had forgotten to tell you that I was not planning on it this week. Well mistakes can be fixed and this is one of them. I will take your suggestion and subpage.Rgoodermote  01:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Actually, I am requesting CSD G7 (hope I remembered it this time, even though I didn't make it is my RfA) on the RfA. Not to be persistant. But I messed up and I am going to wait another month to try again. Could you please do me that favor mate? Rgoodermote  01:57, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Hmm. you are welcome to tag it for CSD, but because it does have some content within it I am not willing to delete it. I am not really sure what the rule is for this type of situation, might just be better to withdraw and explain the situation in your statement. Actually I am going to ask another admin. Tiptoety talk 02:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I just closed it as withdrawn, there is just too much content to delete it. During your next RfA just explain the situation, it will not hurt you. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 03:38, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Sorry overreacted. I have been having a rough week so I really just didn't have the thought capacity at the moment to think of something rational. Rgoodermote  16:22, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey, no worries, it happens to the best of us. But just so that you know in the future request G7 means that you are the author of the page/or it has been blanked and it does not have a substantial amount of edits made to it (which your RfA had), but like I said before no worries. Tiptoety talk 18:28, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
knew I called the wrong one, which would you have suggested? Thanks mate, in one months time. I will go again and next time...I will remember to tell you. As well....it will be a final copy. Rgoodermote  00:20, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Umm... I dont think you could tag if for speedy under any category. Tiptoety talk 03:54, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Well...am I glad I decided not to tag...that would have made a reeeeaallll good impression upon people. But like I said..rough day. Anyways, tag this as done? Rgoodermote  16:43, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 Done Tiptoety talk 17:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Hate to ask

I really hate to ask (no offense I just hate asking for help)...but could you give me a hand. I am not unwilling to make articles..I am unable to do so. So what I am asking is..can you help me find a niche other than anti-vandalism?Rgoodermote  00:28, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

SURE! I would be happy to help. I am a bit busy at the moment so give me an hour or two & I will create a subpage with different activities you can do and some questions to try and find an area you may be interested in editing. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 00:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks mate, it is late here so I may not be online when you make the subpage. Again thanks. Rgoodermote  00:50, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Okey Dokey, I will drop you a note when I am done. Tiptoety talk 01:05, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Actually on Wikipedia it is called Saga of the Noble Dead, but the books are red linked so I believe I can work on those. By the way, went to WP:ADMINCOACH Rgoodermote  18:34, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Ah, okay. I was looking for it, but obviously not hard enough. Getting a admin coach will really help insure that your next RfA is successful. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 18:37, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
I googled The Noble Dead Series. I didn't look that hard either, took the easy root. I am hoping, I was about to do editor review..but I am easily confused. Rgoodermote  18:39, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Good! Glad I could help. Now about the editor review stuff, what do you not understand? Tiptoety talk 18:42, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Well you know...it really is just me and today. But I think I got it. Sorry about that.

(Undent) Oh, ok. I have those days too. Let me know if you need anymore help. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 18:45, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Review, will do mate. I think this one is done to. I will take your advice to heart if you give any. Rgoodermote  19:04, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello

Hey there, I read your comment, and I guess that you must not know that much about me. Don't take this as an attack, I just thought I'd fill you in.

I have been an editor for three years and once even ran for adminship. I have had my age displayed in my profile for just about those three years. I have never had any real grief or problems involving it. The only time where it has been negative is when troll editors would use it as ammo to attack me and to claim that I know nothing about cars, simply because I reverted their edits where they inserted pictures of their heavily modded car into its article, or I reverted their edits where they claim that the Chevy Venture is the greatest minivan ever, and that it is going to be redesigned. Plus, although I do state my age and have a (crappy) picture of me, I have no other personally identifiable information about myself. In fact, my profile gives very little information about me personally, but instead focuses on my editing.

I am no idiot, and I know well enough about being safe on the internet. But I am glad that you took concern, I like how we all look out for each other here. Karrmann (talk) 00:19, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, :P Cheers, Tiptoety talk 01:57, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Adoption/Permissions

I finished reading through the Copyright subpage, and since there is no assignment, have moved on to Permissions. Here are my answers.

  1. What is a permission? A permission is an ability that a user is granted in addition to the powers of an unregistered user or a normal registered user. Correct
  2. What pages are un-registered users able to edit? Unregistered users may edit any page that isn't semi-protected or protected. Correct
  3. What is an auto confirmed account? An autoconfirmed account is a registered account that was made more than four days ago. Correct
  4. What permissions do registered accounts have? Registered users can edit any non-fully protected page, can upload files, and can move and create pages. Correct
  5. Who can grant rollback? Administrators can grant rollback. Correct
  6. What does rollback enable you to do? Rollback enables you to revert a page to the most recent version OTHER than by the most recent editor. Correct
  7. What should you not use rollback for? You shouldn't use rollback to help you abuse the three-revert rule in content disputes. Correct
  8. What are administrators able to do? Administrators have access to rollback, can give the rollback permission to users, vision of a special page allowing them to see which pages aren't watched by any users, ability to protect and unprotect pages, locking revisions in their current state until a sysop or above edits it, the ability to view edits that have been deleted, and are able to block users. Correct
  9. How do you request adminship? You request adminship by either being nominated or nominating yourself and following the process at Requests for Adminship (RFA) Correct
  10. What are bureaucrats main duties? Bureaucrats' main duties are to take care of user permissions. They can promote users to administrator or bureaucrat status, as well as control bot permissions. Correct
  11. What technical abilities do stewards have? Stewards have the ability to control all users' access levels on every language of Wikipedia. This is because Steward is not a Wikipedia title, but a Wikimedia title. Correct
  12. What does checkuser enable a user to check? Checkuser enables a user to check the IP address of certain users, to see if a user is using another account as a sockpuppet. Correct
  13. What is oversight? Oversight is the ability to hide a previous revision of a page from public view. Correct
  14. What type of a user must you be to be granted oversight? Oversight is only granted in very special cases. It is only granted to specific users, those with need for the bot, and usually those who are current or previous members of the Arbitration Committee. Correct

Thanks for reading! Let me know if you need any questions answered further. Voyaging (talk) 01:31, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Good work 100% correct! (And by the way, the copyright subpage is just for your reading pleasure, there is no lesson to accompany it. Tiptoety talk 01:47, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Eternal Legacy Notable?

There's a band I want to create an article for, but I'm not sure whether they'd be considered notable or not. They aren't underground by any means, but they arent a major band. They have an album out on an indie record label and have gotten some press attention. Please check their pages out if you have time and let me know. Thanks! Site: [1] MySpace: [2]. Voyaging (talk) 01:59, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, the first thing I am going to have you do is read WP:MUSIC and see if you think it meets notability guidelines, if you are still unsure than I would be happy to let you know my thoughts. One thing to keep in mind is that the band must have reputable third/secondary party sources the verify the content within the article. Please note that myspace pages do not count as real sources, as anyone can create those for any type of band. Hope that helps, Tiptoety talk 02:02, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Canvassing?

Could you explain to me how I am canvassing? [3] Steve Crossin (talk) 03:04, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Hi there Steve, did not want to come accross rude so I just left a message with your current coach, I was referring to these [4] [5] where you were asking users to comment on certain situations, please understand that if they want to they will do so on their own. Overall I appreciate all of your hard work and dedication to the project, keep it up! Cheers, Tiptoety talk 05:10, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • I don't really feel that is canvassing, they were both notifications of discussions about the topic. The first diff was because myself, and the mediator of the 24 case was discussing the case on IRC. You can confitm this with Seddon69 The second one was notifying the coach that we were discussing the Israel-Palestine dispute on IRC, and as they are the co-mediator (alongside me) I felt it appropriate to inform them. You can also ocnfirm this with Xavexgoem. Regards, Steve Crossin (talk) 05:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
I think Tip (if i can call you that) is mentioning the idea that if people are interested in the issue, they'll visit the article talk page or the medcab page and discuss it. So while it might be worth flagging the most active participants on each side, flagging them all is overkill. Or maybe the issue is that off-wiki discussions like IRC tend to run the risk of whats called meatpuppetery, namely that a group of people discussed something off-wiki, came to an arrangement off-wiki, and then attempted to implement it on-wiki. We actually hit this issue at a meetup I was at last week. Someone suggested the 20 or so editors in the room might like to meet to discuss policy change proposals, and thankfully there was an Arb in the room who reminded us that we'd be committing meatpuppetry if we did that. MBisanz talk 06:28, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
You did a much better job of explaining it than I did. And yes, both of those were issues. I guess if you really need to notify a person or request them to comment on a certain issue, email would be better than their talk page, but that is personal opinion as I know some users who consider that the same as on wiki-canvassing. Please understand (Steve) that I do not think you violated any policies here, and if you would have I would have just contacted you myself, I feel it was just more of a lack of in-depth understanding of some of the policies. Instead I just wanted to notify your coach of the situation so they could take whatever steps they felt was appropriate. Keep up the good work Steve, and yes MBisanz, you are more than welcome to call me Tip. :) Tiptoety talk 14:04, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Hmm, well, that's fair enough. At the present time, most of my time will be consumed with this case, which MBisanz is also mediating it with me, it's something very hard I feel. I'm sorry if I was outta line before. Regards, Steve Crossin (talk) 14:19, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I need a little assistance on my user page if you have the chance. User:Voyaging there's my page, and I took a little bit of inspiration from your page and made a Browse Bar at User:Voyaging/Browse_Bar. I have two questions:

  • Do you have any idea how I can get images above or below my links on the browse bar like your page has?
  • How can I get the browse bar onto my talk page without it messing up like it currently does?

I know you didn't make your layout, so you might not be able to help me, but I appreciate anything you could do. Voyaging (talk) 23:26, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Like you said, I had no part in the creation of my userpage, but User:The Chronic was the one who did, you are more than welcome to leave him a message with your question and I am sure he would be more than happy to help you. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 04:33, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

My rollback request

Thanks for granting my rollback request [[6]] in the end - I do see your point about my edit count being comparatively low. I spent a while looking around the rollback information before I requested to see if there were any hidden criteria (such as an edit count number)beyond "not edit-warring" but there didn't seem to be any, so I did! Anyway, cheers - I will do my best to demonstrate that your civility concern was unfounded. :) Mazca (talk) 12:19, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, tha is a flaw with the current rollback request system. The current process allows for any admin to create their own criteria for granting adminship, and as such creates cases like yours. Just by leaving me this message, my worries about your possible civility issues are put to rest. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 04:43, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Rfa

Oh, I know. I'm not letting get to me, but I do want to improve in the stuff that I missed in the Rfa. And you know what, I think this taught me a good lesson about me failing the thing. Thanks for your feedback and I'll probably go to rehab. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 00:42, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Admin Coaching

Hey Tip, have you considered becoming a coach? We could use your help?Balloonman (talk) 08:26, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, sorry about the delay in getting back to you, I have been very busy. I appreciate your kind words, but at this time I have two adoptee's, school, and work and just not the amount of time I would want to give my coachee's. I will consider idea a little later once I have some more free time. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 22:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Vera Katz and History

Howdy folks, its time for another installment of WikiProject Oregon’s Collaboration of the Week! Last week we made some improvements to the Oregon Coast and brought The Register-Guard up to B class while garnering a DYK! Great job to those who lent a hand. This week we finish up the High priority Stubs with former mayor and Speaker of the House, Vera Katz, which is pretty much a Start class now and could easily get to B class. We also have History of Oregon by request. Help out if you can, where you can. As always, to opt out, opt in, or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here.

RE:

No problem. Enjoy the rest of Spring Break. (BTW, unrelated to WP, but... what electives do you take at Grant?) The Chronic 16:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, you enjoy yours too. And I sent you an email with your question. Tiptoety talk 16:42, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Cool. I fixed up the barnstars part of your userpage, so it appears more compact (if you prefer the former, do revert it). Cheers, The Chronic 17:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Huh, not sure if I like this way better or not. I will leave it for the time being and see what I think. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 17:13, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

User:Alphaman11

The user does not seem to get it. There are new warnings on the user's talk page after the block notice. FYI. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 20:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, I left the user a message. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 21:02, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

User talk:Alphaman11

Hi there, thank you for reverting the vandalism done by User:Alphaman11, but now because he has been blocked it is pointless to continually add warnings to his usertalk page. Simply revert, there is no need to warn at this point. Thank you for your hard work. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 21:01, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

OK, fine! But please add him to your blacklist. Thank you!

Rollback User:Bpeps

Oy give and take away? reasons please ;-) BpEps - t@lk

Yeah, that is my bad. I did not look at your userrights log before granting it to you, then upon further inspection I noticed that it was recently taken away from you for abuse. Tiptoety talk 00:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
oy it was never taken away from me for abuse - please show me logs that say that BpEps - t@lk 00:22, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Semi protection of a page

Hi!

Sorry to bother you but I wanted to see if you wouldn't mind taking a look at this comment I recently made regarding a protection request. I had a hard time getting the right article name to appear and was in the middle of explaining my mistake when you happened to read my original request so I do apologize. I've explained what I messed up so I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at my correct request and decide whether or not it could be semi-protected for a week or so.

Thanks a bunch!
Peace! SWik78 (talk) 15:52, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thank you for brining it to my attention. I will take a look. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 15:54, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Malleus RfC closure

Hey Tiptoety. Any chance you could close/archive/whatever Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Malleus Fatuarum as an uninvolved admin? All involved parties generally agree that it needs to end and go away - see here and Keep's talk page. Thanks - Tan | 39 20:16, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Oops, Keeper posted an inquiry to WP:BN here. Sorry for the trouble. Tan | 39 20:18, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Let me know if there is any other way for me to be of assistance. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 00:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
