Sometimes...Ignorance is bliss. (todo list)

Appreciation[edit]

I see that you have uploaded two photos on Tuas Second Link (Expressway E3) and one photo on the causeway. Would you kindly, allow me to ask you a few questions? I do not have any intentions of involving it with wikipedia's removal, etc.

Concerning the photo on Expressway E3, I noticed that the expressway passes under a flyover. Is it the north-south highway, or is your father's car turning into the direction of Perling? I would like to know about it.

Also, did you take those photos as you return to Malaysia to celebrate Chinese New Year? That's my analysis on the dates you submitted your photos. Just curious. Cheers! Mr Tan 14:45, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Those photos you uploaded are nice. Hope you don't mind me asking you which part of Malaysia are you from. Oh yes, do you have any idea what is the road after the toll plaza at Causeway. In my opinion, I don't think the Causeway leads to Skudai Highway as the roadsign says Jalan Tun Abdul Razak, and Skudai Highway starts after Danga Bay (which is further up north in JB). I'm just curious. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 15:59, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Coaching Aaron[edit]

Hi! I feel bad about not getting back to Aaron about the coaching thing. I had a family emergency: on the day Titoxd contacted me about us becoming Aaron's coaches, I got a phonecall from my family that my grandmother was very ill. I went to stay with her, and yesterday she passed away, so I came home last night. Anyway, I've left Aaron a note, and if he responds the three of us should figure out a way to get in touch as soon as possible, perhaps via IRC? --JoanneB 17:53, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

About "Gabacho definition"[edit]

Hi there,

I wanted to contribute a little bit to Wikipedia, and I found out the word gabacho is not defined. It seems it is defined in wikitionary as transwiki, and also some webpage has a better definition, the weird thing is that it seems to be obtained from wikipedia.

I saw you deleted the entry, so I wanted to talk to you first, because I don't understand very well the reason of the deletion.

I would just copy-paste the definition from that web page I told you. Also I speak spanish and I know the nowaday use in Mexico. In fact the "Royal Acadademy of Spanish Language" (what they say it's true) has a broader and much more specific definition of "gabacho", but I guess there must be issues with their copyrights.

So what to do?

-- Felipec (Talk)

RFA[edit]

Hi, just wanted to thank you for voting on my RFA, which went through with a count of (58/0/1), far better than I'd expected. I intend to take things slowly and start using the extra abilities gradually, but if there's anything I can do just leave a message. Cheers, CTOAGN (talk) 13:44, 7 February 2006 (UTC)R

Humanistic naturalism[edit]

I see you re-closed Humanistic naturalism and then reverted to me - did I forget a step somewhere that would have saved you from having to waste that time? Hipocrite - «Talk» 01:23, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

My RfA[edit]

Thank you for your support on my request for adminship. It ultimately succeeded with votes of 52/1/2, so I am now an administrator. Should you have any questions, comments, complaints, or requests at any point in the future, please do not hesitate to let me know on my talk page or via e-mail.

What the hell gives you the right to have my entry removed for my product? I am Russell B. Davis author/copyright owner/intellectual rights owner and trademark owner of my product. Who the hell are you?

You want to respond to me, you can contact me at my "legitimate" email address, either the company "atcsimulator@cox.net", or my personal account "russellbdavis@cox.net".

I have reported you for vandalizing my entry.

Adminship Vote[edit]

I want to sincerely thank you for voting on my successful adminship nomination. Whenever I mess up, please let me know. I want to learn from my mistakes so they don't become patterns. Superm401 - Talk 06:26, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank You.[edit]

Thank You for your help! In the future, if this problem arises again (which is very likely), I will send you a message. Siva1979 11:35, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Congrats![edit]

Congratulations Mailer diablo/Archive I! It is our honor to inform you that you've won Esperanza's Best User Page Award! Here's a token for your efforts.

KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 16:17, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations! And thank you for participating in this project! Banez 21:10, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Here is the actual award; Please place it anywhere you like KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 10:35, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations! -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 18:59, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations[edit]

Congratulations for your cool userpage, which has won the top spot in the contest. =) Mailer, could you help me to delete Sengkang's photos as all of them have been transwikied to Commons. Thanks. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 15:42, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Admin coaching[edit]

Hi Mailer diablo ... I'm back, and feeling better. Want to try this admin coaching thing now? (And thanks for the link to WP:). --Aaron 22:16, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Sunday is fine! Just drop me a note whenever. I'm usually don't go more than a few hours maximum without at least checking my watchlist (unless I'm asleep, anyway). --Aaron 02:02, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

MRT as Today's Featured Article![edit]

Hi Mailer, Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore) is the featured article of the day! Well done for the rewrite and the research you had done. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 01:37, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Admin coaching[edit]

Hi Mailer Diablo, I took the liberty of starting Aaron's admin coaching with a page very similar to Gryffindor's, made by Banes and Sango123. Of course, it's just a start, if you have any further ideas about it, or if you want to do it in a completely different way, just let me know! Kind regards, --JoanneB 16:39, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

My RfA[edit]

Thank you
Hello Mailer diablo, and thank you muchly for your support in my request for adminship! It passed with a final count of 63/4/3. I am honoured by the community support and pledge to serve the project as best as I can. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 16:56, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Three weeks of admin tools[edit]

Today three weeks have passed since I was granted access to the administrator toolbox. During this time I have made use of it in the following way:

I've found that the rollback tool is much more useful than I'd thought for vandalism patrol. In fact it makes that task so easy that I've been doing it more than before. On the other hand I've been surprised by how little the blocking tool is needed. Having done a significant amount of vandalism patrol I have still only blocked one solitary vandal. The great majority of addresses which send out a vandal edit do so only once. Those who do it more often usually stop after a warning or two. Only rarely is a block actually needed and in those cases someone usually beats me to it.

As a side note I haven't retired from writing articles either. I'm still hoping to bring Freyr up to featured status but even though I've already performed more edits on it than on Hrafnkels saga back in the day, a lot of work remains to be done. Community expectations for featured articles have gone up and so have my own ambitions. I'm currently waiting for a couple of books I ordered to arrive and then I may be able to make the final push.

I'm trying my best to live up to the trust you showed in me by supporting my RFA. If ever you feel uncertain whether I'm using the admin tools in the best interests of the project, let me know. I am at any time willing to relinquish the mop and reapply for it to address concerns people have and ensure that I'm not using the admin tools without being trusted to do so. Haukur 22:46, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Another Esperanzial note...[edit]

Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".

The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.

Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gibbon Media[edit]

Just wondering why you chose to re-relist this AFD, which received four delete votes and one keep vote by the time you relisted it. It appeared to have consensus to delete. Stifle 23:58, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Nkf-resign.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Nkf-resign.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you. -- Carnildo 09:10, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm still here![edit]

Just a quick note to let you know I'm not intentionally ignoring the Admin Coaching page. I didn't have time to respond Sunday night, and when I did have time yesterday, the Wikipedia servers were down. I'll be responding later tonight. See you then! --Aaron 16:50, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks[edit]

File:Plunger 250x410.jpg

Thanks for taking the time to vote in my RfA, which passed with a final vote of 54/2/1 despite my obvious inadequacy for the job. I'll do my level best to use the mop and bucket — or, as I said in my RfA, plunger — responsibly. Of course, in the best tradition of politicans everywhere, I've already broken a campaign promise (I blocked a vandal last night despite having said "I don't anticipate using the blocking tool very often"). Nevertheless, I'll try not to let the unbridled power corrupt me. —Josiah Rowe (talkcontribs) 19:32, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you[edit]

Hello Mailer diablo, thank you for you support in my RfA. I was promoted with a final count of 48/1/0! If you see me making any mistakes, let me know ASAP. -- WB 02:30, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Deletion Oversite[edit]

I see that you took care of the blockland modications deletion and their accompanying talk pages, but you seem to have over looked Talk:Return_to_Blockland. Please feel free to rectify this oversite at your leasure. Thanks in advance. MCP 04:15, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Re: Deletion of List of Howard Stern Guests[edit]

So what is with your summary dismissal of a legitimate discussion of the deletion of something classified by the majority of respondants as listcruft? Why no discussion, and why not allow the deletion proceedings to go to the final stage? 13 vs 9 is certainly not a "no concensis vote. (68.163.23.224 06:15, 16 February 2006 (UTC))

WP:RFA/Quarl[edit]

Hi Mailer diablo, thanks for your support in my RFA, which succeeded. If I can ever improve or help in any way, please let me know! :) Quarl (talk) 2006-02-16 11:44Z

UPA results[edit]

I appreciate your email, but this isn't quite how it works. First you get 3 userpages from which you choose your favorite. After the 5 judges have done so, you then proceed to evaluate each page and email me the results. You'll soon get a spam from Banes regarding the first three pages you get to evaluate. Cheers! -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 20:30, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

RFA Thanks![edit]

Thank you!
Hello Mailer diablo/Archive I, and thank you for your support in my request for adminship! It passed with a final count of 98/2/0. If there is anything I can do to help you, please leave me a message on my talk page! -- xaosflux Talk

Thank you![edit]

Thank you very much for your support during my recent Admin election, I appreciate the trust that you have put in me. Please contact me if you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding my work as an admin.

Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Monicasdude 2[edit]

Hi Mailer, I am planning to close the RFC and file an ArbCom case against him due to his conduct. You may support or oppose the motion to close. Thanks. --Terence Ong 15:15, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Problems seeing some images[edit]

Hi again, I don't know why I can't see landscape images on my computer on image galleries and Sengkang's gallery showcase (the collection of photos at the bottom of his userpage), but I can see potrait and panaroama ones. Is there anything wrong with my screen? However, when I use my laptop, its perfectly fine. Could you help me with this issue, has been bugging me for months. Thanks. --Terence Ong 17:11, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't work, sigh... I don't know why do I have this problem, maybe I have to check my computer settings first. Anyway thanks again. =) --Terence Ong 17:22, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

WP:IAR and Admins unblocking themselves[edit]

Is it true that WP:IAR does not apply to admins unblocking themselves, or is it untrue? Unfortunately opinions seem to vary, and that is a recipe for conflict. Consensus is needed, and I'm of the opinion that it would be helpful if WP:IAR explicitly mentioned it as an exception if it is true, and have proposed a wording on the page. There is discussion on Wikipedia talk:Ignore all rules at which I would be grateful for your input. David | Talk 20:23, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

UPA Judge[edit]

Hi Mailer diablo/Archive I! You've signed up to be a judge for the Esperanza User Page Award! You'll have three user pages to examine. The user pages you get coincide with your signup number. So if you signed up to be a judge in spot 1 than you will get nominations 1-3. Pick your favorite one, and list it in the finalist section. After all 5 judges have chosen a finalist it's time to award them 1-10 points in the four categories:

Please remember to include Subpages in your judging criteria. See the Scores section on this page for additional information on your job as a judge.

Keep in mind that your scores are confidential! Email [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] with your scores and final picks. As soon as all the scores have been tallied, a winner will be announced! Thanks.

And here are the userpages for you to examine:

  1. Phaedriel
  2. RexNL
  3. Cyberjunkie

Thank you--Banez 12:32, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello, the template that you have recieved was not correct. I have gone ahead and updated it. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. KnowledgeOfSelf 22:15, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

My RfA[edit]

Thank you!
Thank you!
Hi Mailer diablo/Archive I. On behalf of my right eye, I'd like to thank you for giving me your support on my recent RfA. It ended with a final tally of (73/2/2) and therefore I have been installed as an administrator now, and I'm ready to serve Wikipedians all over the world with my newly acquired mop and bucket. If you have any questions, do not hestitate to forward them to my talkpage. Once again, thanks for your support. SoothingR 20:48, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

TfD...[edit]

...lasts 7 days, remember. -Splashtalk 02:35, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm being fussy; I noticed that one you closed earlier today was about 12hrs (so only 0.5days) early and a few you closed just now were a few hours early. That's not really important, though 12 hours is a little much, I was just wondering if you thought it was 5 days like AfD or something. The currently maturing day is 12 February, but the nominations usually span most of the 24hrs, so the day subpage can't be finished until late in the UTC day. The last completely expired day is the 11th. -Splashtalk 02:47, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
I think that's probably the only difference. I figure you already know about the holding cell for when you don't want to orphan the hundred thousand uses of some deleted template. Have fun. -Splashtalk 03:05, 19 February 2006 (UTC) PS you have a wicked userpage.

Anti-fasc[edit]

Thank you for finally closing debate on the Template:User_anti-fascism review. However, I do have to note that templates like Template:User:no_Rand were deleted MID-DEBATE, and the opposite of this antifacsism Userbox, Template:User_fascist, was deleted with NO review (though, in fairness, perhaps few bothered to defend it.) But also in fairness, I would hope the POV, divisive, polemic Userbox Template:User_anti-fascism would now be afforded the same treatment as MANY other "anti" "no..." Userboxes, and speedy deleted. Please guide me in the right direction if I'm somehow missing some master plan here. Thank you! Nhprman 02:39, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I've been watching that Tfd process with great interest, but find it to be a rather slanted one, with definite "winners" and "losers." I hope some of the admins or even Jimbo Himself are taking note and are planning either a purge or an authoritative ruling on what is and is not acceptable for Userboxes. Letting some POV boxes survive, while others perish is simply unacceptable, in my view. Nhprman 03:02, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Times Square Church[edit]

How could the article for deletion of the Times Square Church survive when the consensus was in favor of its deletion 5-3? (Notorious4life 13:41, 19 February 2006 (UTC))

My RfA[edit]

Verbungula/Vabungula[edit]

Just thought I'd let you know that I noticed Young Zaphod recreated the Vabungula article, which you just deleted in closing it's AFD. Ehheh 17:57, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

...And, he's just done it again. Ehheh 00:08, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

AbleNET AfD[edit]

Thank you for your fair assessment and closure. Admittedly, I was starting to become bothered by the whole process. I couldn't understand why someone would create accounts for the sole purpose of what took place. In any case, I digress. I merely wanted to thank you for your objective review and subsequent resolution to the issue. I honestly hope it never arises again.

Respectfully, Santavez 06:22, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Yeah you're right. Sockpuppetry is a problem it seems. Unfortunately in this case there was a lot of it to 'destroy' the article. I was rather proud that the "pro" opinion handled themselves rather respectfully. Thanks again! :)

Santavez 12:45, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

My RfA[edit]

Thank you for your support of my request for adminship. I'm delighted that the RfA ultimately succeeded with a final consensus of 52/1/0, so I am now an administrator. If you ever have any comments regarding my editing, or I can help you at any point in the future, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Again, thank you!

UkPaolo/talk 10:38, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

User page award[edit]

The five finalist user pages have been submited, so now judges are supposed to evaluate them (as you did when you sent me the email). Do you want me to use the results you already gave me or are you planning to re-assess the pages? Please let me know in my talk page. Thanks! -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 14:54, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Vandal alert[edit]

Hi Diablo. I had a look at the page and I noticed the message I left was gone and in the history you had left the (rather cryptic) message: "199.216 > test4 not issued, warned > NOT EMPTY".

From that I'm taking it as meaning that you issued a warning? So.. two questions for you in regard to that:

  1. How does one go about warning a user that hasn't got an account?
  2. What does the "NOT EMPTY" comment mean?

Thanks for your time. Apologies by the way - I'm new at this aspect of Wikipedia. :)

--Mal 17:59, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Conflict[edit]

Hey Mailer diablo, we seem to have a block conflict :-P. I wonder which block you would prefer? KnowledgeOfSelf 01:39, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the response, I think the 24 hour block will be fine. User has not complained yet that I know of so no harm or foul :). Happy editing KnowledgeOfSelf 02:00, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

WP:POINT[edit]

I really dont agree that Striver's listing of other religion-list articles violates WP:POINT. The discussion really shouldnt be narrowed down to just Islam-list articles. Listing a whole bunch of one really makes the case for listing all religion-list articles for AFD. The same reasoning works for all of them, whether they're kept or deleted. KI 01:42, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Rhoderick Gates[edit]

Hi Mailer diablo! You recently closed an Afd on Rhoderick Gates but you didn't delete the associated Meblourne Socialist Brigade article. The Meblourne Socialist Brigade article still has a link pointing back to the closed Afd. Could you please delete Meblourne Socialist Brigade as well? Zarquon 01:56, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

An update about SGpedians' notice board[edit]

Hi Mailer, a meetup page has been created quite some time ago. You may like to take a look and propose a venue to meet. --Terence Ong 08:25, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Longest streets in London[edit]

I'm a bit concerned about this closure. If you look at the debate, the delete voters are very eloquently arguing that the article is completely unverifiable precisely because its contents are original research conducted by multiple people with no standardizations. That's arguing violation of WP:V and WP:NOR.

My count of the opinions at close (assuming no sockpuppets) was 22 delete, 19 keeps. 3, maybe 4 of those keeps, depending on how you read it, were "rewrites" or "weak keeps pending sourcing." Another couple of them admitted that the article violated WP:NOR, but that that was OK. The icing on the cake was the guy who compiled the article, who came in, pointed out that the information was original to him, newly compiled, and unsourceable, and then threw down a "keep." It occurs to me that that pretty much invalidates the keep votes arguing for sourcing or rewrites - the guy who compiled the article states that it can't be done.

22 to 19 is 54% delete, 46% keep. If you throw out the people who predicated their keeps on "it's OK to violate WP policy" and "I vote for an admittedly impossible event", you're looking at 22 to 12 or maybe 13.

What are your thoughts on this matter? -ikkyu2 (talk) 00:42, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Glossary of Japanese film credit terms[edit]

I don't think you read the debate very well. The result was that the list was changed to a Glossary, which IS allowed on Wikipedia. Please undelete Glossary of Japanese film credit terms. --日本穣 17:25, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Please explain why you deleted this article. My previous inquiry here was completely ignored by you and simply tossed on one of your archived discussion pages. If you're going to go willy-nilly deleting articles when the AfD clearly indicates that that's not what the pariticipants decided, you are abusing your priviliges as an adminsitrator. Please at least do me the courtesy of providing an explanation for your actions, rather than simply ignoring my simple request. I appreciate your time. --日本穣 06:27, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

IsPunk'd "irrelevant"?[edit]

I'm in the middle of a dispute with backburner001 over the Punk'd reference at Lindsay Lohan. This user says it's irrelevant. I laid out the case for its relevance—with a rewrite for clarity—and he deleted it again. His response:『I did my part – I removed content I felt was not significant and I made suggestions for improvement when I was asked for them. If you are interested in working together to fix this problem, do your part and improve the Punk’d reference or give me a legitimate reason for keeping the reference that was in there before.』(Essentially, "You think it should stay? Prove it to me and me alone," which sounds awfully close to self-appointed WikiGodhood, but I've been called dramatic already. More on point, "working together" to this editor means he deletes it, but someone else has to "fix" it.) This user's page includes as a goal, "[r]emove irrelevant/trivial content", but a quick look at his edit history is telling: on 30 January, he removed from WP:MOS a "reference to naming conventions for Mormonism"; on 19 February, he deleted "2 paragraphs" from Hiram College "to keep concise". Since then, every deletion of material has been a Punk'd reference, from Lindsay Lohan, Avril Lavigne, Jena Malone, Beyoncé Knowles, Mandy Moore, Chris Klein (actor) and Proof (rapper). After we blasted each other's antagonism (real or imagined), I threatened him with a WP:3RR war and mutual blocking, and backburner001 then agreed to stop removing the reference pending the discussion that results from my Request for Comment. No matter the outcome, your input would be very much appreciated. RadioKirk talk to me 21:24, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Your pupil finally showed up![edit]

Hi Mailer diablo! I finally posted my responses to the first set of questions. I apologize for taking so long; first Real Life got in the way for a day or two, and then my own perfectionistic procrastination kept causing my to put it off (basically I spent so long ruminating over the questions in my mind in order to "get it right" that I let it get in the way of actually typing out any answers). I finally realized I was making way too much out of it (it's a learning process after all, not a final exam) and made myself sit down and finish it. So when you get a chance, let me know how badly I messed up. ;) Thanks! --Aaron 02:18, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks![edit]

Thanks for helping me with my AfD problems. I have it working now. (Arundhati Bakshi (talkcontribs)) 20:40, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
