AIV

[1] There is no point in giving warnings to the umpteenth sockpuppet of the Avril Lavigne/RefDesk vandal. Dragons flight (talk) 09:59, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

On that report I was stating the obvious but he, and the people he was warring with, had just been blocked for edit waring therefor he should have been removed anyway. If it was a sock the AIV is not the place to go to put you should go to WP:SSP.·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 10:03, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

No, SSP is slow and intended for cases that are possibly debatable. The RD vandal is nothing but recurrent pattern vandalism and simply needs to be blocked. And no, no one he was warring with was blocked because Xcamberx (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and Thiagara (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) are simple vandals not edit warriors. Dragons flight (talk) 10:09, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Firstly they had an edit war on WP:AIV also on the ref desk as you can see in his contribs and both of these users were blocked for edit waring by Luna-San as someone reported it. Once I knew they were being blocked I removed the report as it was resolved. The users were acctually really warring over who got blocked, exchanging one user on AIV for another. In my opinion it doesn't really matter if they got blocked for vandalism, edit waring or socking. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 10:24, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

You're not reading the log right, the "edit war" on AIV consisted on the vandal using misleading edit summary to remove the report of his own vandalism. He never actually reported anyone else. The "edit war" on the RefDesk was pure vandalism. Dragons flight (talk) 10:32, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

ahh, I get it now, At least he was still blcoked. ·Ãḍď§ђɸŗЄ· ^Talk 10:33, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Can I interest you in a handy user page vandalism counter? They now come in compact userbox sizes, and some even use two to keep track of their user and user talk pages simultaneously. Call now! Operators are standing by.

Addbot tagging

Hello,

Addbot has tagged several pdf-images/documents with the following {{BadFormat}} tag:

• File:Application-501-CSI.pdf
• File:Analysis-Financial-Flows-RTC.pdf
• File:Amendement-Incorporation-IGN.pdf
• File:Amended Articles of Incorporation SMI.pdf
• File:Amended Articles of Incorporation RTC.pdf
• File:Amended Articles of Incorporation CST.pdf

Please be aware that I use the files as references for Scientology-related articles, such as Church of Scientology International or Religious Technology Center. The original format of the documents are tiff-files and were then converted into pdf, which is the appropriate format for these documents.

I think that these documents are wrongly tagged by Addbot.

Cheers, Martin Ottmann (talk) 16:03, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

The tag just states that the file was uploaded in a non-image format. Also that the information it contains could be stored more efficiently in the PNG format, the SVG format, or as plain text in an article. Which it could be. IT goes onto say if the information is encyclopedic, please integrate its text and information into an article, or consider copying it to Wikisource. As you are using them as references then they are being integrated into articles "kind of" and if it is free use then wikisource is the place for it. This is more of an information tag that means no offense. The bot is being discussed here currently and if you would like to comment more then please do so there. There has already been a discussion there and also on WT:CSD providing consensus for this bot request which is here I hope this clears things up. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 16:32, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

TP Page

We were using the talk page. The editor in question not only refused editor consensus, but general editing guidelines, and was reverting all edits by all other editors. I know that 3RR is prohibited, but in this case the editor was clearly vandalizing and evading bans by abusing sockpuppets to do so.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 05:39, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Just wondering... Which user and what page? I cant seem to find it ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 05:44, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Disney Special Editions

WTF! I removed 'vandalism' from the talkpage of the Disney Special Editions article and I get reprimanded for that? Jesus Christ, you Wikipedia users seem to be too uptight and anal about everything lately! 213.10.46.8 (talk) 10:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I think you mean this edit If you would like to get the page removed please propose it for deletion or tag it for CSD. page blanking (which is what you did) is classed as vandalism. If you need more help please ask again here. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 15:25, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Addshore, that should take care of it. Btw, how many people have a subscription? And where can one register (=is there some link to it on the main NTWW page)?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Dorftrottel (talk • contribs)

You can find the list here Wikipedia:NotTheWikipediaWeekly/delivery. That will show you how many people have subscribed. There is currently no link on the main NTWW page to that delivery page. ·Ãḍď§ђɸŗЄ· ^Talk 06:31, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I've subscribed. Also added an 'alernative option' link to Template:NTWW-subscription. Btw, does that mean your bot automatically detects new episode subpages and then delivers the notifications? Or do you have to update it manually to start delivery? dorftrottel (talk) 08:17, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Tagging of football season articles

Hi there, There is currently a bug in the software that Addbot uses for this tasks. Although the bot is currently not meant to only add or remove whitespace it still does.

WP:HAU

Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 22:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Please fix {uncat} tags from Addbot to "year in baseball" articles"

The first hundred or so entries currently in uncategorized pages are 1877 in baseball, 1888 in baseball and so forth. All of these articles were categorized into Category:1877 in baseball, Category:1888 in baseball and so forth, as appropriate. Yet Addbot tagged all these pages as uncategorized, and I undid five of the taggings before I realized what happened. If you could rollback the bot edits to the "year in baseball" articles, that would save me (or someone else) a lot of time. Thank you. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 23:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. I know know the reason why the bot tagged these, It is as to it (looking at what appears in the edit windows) there appears to be no category's. I will notify the devs for AWB about this and I will also go through and revert all of the bots changes. Thanks for telling me about this error. ·Ãḍď§ђɸŗЄ· ^Talk 06:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Just to let you know I have gone through all of the edits and have reverted the edits by the bot that added the uncat tag if they had not already been reverted. Again thanks for telling me about this bug. Sorry if I caused you any annoyance. I will not re run the bot until this is fixed or I have found a way to fix it. ·Ãḍď§ђɸŗЄ· ^Talk 06:37, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Hiya - you either missed one or the dreaded bot struck again :-) See 1987 in baseball - I've fixed it (initially by adding a category, but now by reverting it to the version prior to the bot). CultureDrone (talk) 06:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I only managed to fix them all about 1 min ago ^^ (so many). I think maybe the template that holds the cat on those pages should be substed maybe? What do you think? ·Ãḍď§ђɸŗЄ· ^Talk 06:52, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Oops - I hadn't paid close attention to the date/time of your previous comment, so apologies for interrupting 'midflow'! Being only a simple, humble, insignificant Wikignome (in the main), I know little about 'subst'ing and its impact (looks like I've got more reading to do...), so I'm afraid I can't give an informed opinion :-) CultureDrone (talk) 07:56, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Ohh - that's what subst does ! Well, I still don't know the answer to your question, but I've learned a little more about WP today, which is a good thing :-) CultureDrone (talk) 08:29, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Lol at Wikignome. Yeh It took a while, nearly 50 pages had to be reverted. I will take a closer look at the page and what I might be able to do latter =] ·Ãḍď§ђɸŗЄ· ^Talk 11:10, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi again - a quick update - Rjwilmsi has been tidying some of the baseball articles using AWB - apparently one of AWB's 'general fixes' is marking these pages as uncategorised again. I've told him about the issues with templates/categories and I think he's going to stop for the moment, and I've gone through the articles and cleared the uncat tag, but the problem may occur if other people edit using these utilities.....what's wrong with typing everything in longhand anyway ?! It's never done me any harm...flibble... :-) CultureDrone (talk) 21:13, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes currently anyone that tags the pages using AWB will tag them with uncat. I guess we will just have to revert them and tell them not to do it until it is fixed :> The problem with doing it by had is the fact that my bot is meant to be checking about 100,000 pages or something ^^ ·Ãḍď§ђɸŗЄ· ^Talk 21:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok I have found what the problem is

{{Year in baseball|this year = 1981 |}}

Sine-Cosine Proofs PDF Document

I have removed the Bad Format tag from this image. This is a PDF image that contains text and line diagrams. It cannot be integrated into the article text. Wikipedia has no prohibition against PDF images. Wahrmund (talk) 21:07, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I do not think that you should have removed the template as everything that it says is true. It is not asking for the pdf to be deleted but only informing that it could be stored in a better format. The pdf is likely to be re tagged next time the bot gets run as there is still consensus to do so. If you have any more comments questions or querys then please reply here. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 16:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't want to argue I am just saying that All pdf files that are on the english wikipedia will get tagged by this bot in the way that this pdf did every time that the bot runs.

Hi there. Don't you think that it is a bit weired that you welcome users before they have made any contributions with a template that says thanks for you contributions (see User_talk:StevePajor)?

New user looking to be adopted.

Hello. My user name: Crimson Red Fox and I am looking to be adopted. I am NOT a tech savvy person and do not understand some aspects to editing Wikipedia.

I clicked on the edit button to add information on how to create a slipknot for Crochet & Knitting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_knot

My entry does not look right when I compare it to other pages despite my trying out the sandbox.

Questions:

When should a table be added to a page? Ie: Just after a subject is introduced a table breaking down the different subjects with links to that particular part of the page.

I am hoping you can tell me where I am supposed to include “verifiable” information? In the case of making a slipknot I know how to make a slip knot but I originally learned it from my mother. So, I am thinking mom is not exactly a verifiable source.

What cases do I use an external web site? I don’t want others to think that I am endorsing a particular site but sometimes examples from external links are helpful. So, when does it become spam versus just information for others?

I do NOT understand how to use markup language to link to sites or how to link to Wikipedia pages without the http etc...

I hope this is not too much to ask. If so, please let me know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crimson Red Fox (talk • contribs) 01:36, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
