hey, thanks for taking the time to review me. In response to your email, as of now, I do not have any plans to go through an RfA in the near future. I have also sent you an email. Cheers. - Two Oars 17:53, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Please do not review and pass/fail GAC's that are already marked as being under review, as JSTOR was. It is a common courtesy to the people who are taking the time to do careful reviews. Thanks. Awadewit | talk 22:50, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't participate in RfA, but somehow I happened to bumble upon the talk page and see the discussion of your clerking idea.
A modification occurred to me that might meet your objectives, yet not introduce another hurdle in a way that would bother those raising that issue. Suggestion: All new RfA's must be posted to a separate page ("RfA preliminary" or the like). Nothing gets posted on that page except the RfA and the nominator's email address (suitably spambot-proofed, of course). People can comment by email to the nom suggesting that the nomination is way too premature, will be bloodbathed, and should be withdrawn. Some set time after the initial posting (say, five days), the nomination is automatically transferred to the main RfA page, unless in the interim the nom has chosen to withdraw it.
The "screening" or "preliminary" page might be readable by all, with all comments by email to the nom. Alternatively, it might be readable only by some select group (bureaucrats? admins who were sysopped more than two years ago?), who could post discouraging comments to the page but without those discouraging comments being seen by anyone not in the select group (other than the nom and/or candidate).
My thought was that many of the objections to your proposal could be avoided if the "clerking" process were totally voluntary. Under this modification, any nom (including a self-nom) could still choose to go riding into the valley of death, even after being warned of the futility. Some, however, might take advantage of the friendly private advice. They and the community would be spared the negative effects of a failed RfA. JamesMLane t c 04:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Um, why do you need for it to be deleted? Having a userpage should not affect account creation at all. If the bot's account name is not listed on Special:Listusers, you should be free to go. Titoxd( ?!? - cool stuff) 23:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I believe an item does not render when there is no article/redirect that matches the item. For example,

renders
#ifexist means whether or not an article exists. If you want to determine whether or not a variable to the template exists, use something like #if {{{3|}}}.

Hi AD. Per the username page if not a blatant violation, then only list here if the user has begun editing which they had. Username is not blatant but calling your account "havoc" in some way and then making havoc bodes badly. As it happens the account has made no further edits, so I'm leaving it for the admin who reviews to decide if it's borderline and kept. And before you ask, I did not consider discussing the name with the editor, due to their first edits being vandalism. And you appreciate I use templates to warn - three blankings is hardly likely to be accidental, but I don't believe in jumping straight in with a test 4 . Cheers !

Trying to shorthand it in the article obviously doesn't make for good communication. My question with regard to the Supreme Court is: what are new and old Supreme Courts? Sessions of the Supreme Court? Buildings? Why did Wylde cease to be a judge when the new one was "opened"? You might also want to look at the capitalisation in the article. I suspect Supreme Court and Chief Justice at least are normally capitalised when used as titles. Cheers, Yomangani talk 11:58, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

As for admin coaching in general, what objectives do you have for this interaction? Given that you feel you have an adequate grasp of policy, how can I help you?

-- Richard 07:15, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Cheers, -- Anonymous Dissident Talk 08:16, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Josh (I finally looked at your User Page),
Well, there are two philosophies about preparing for RFA. Some people believe that you should not prepare at all but should just become such a great editor that somebody else nominates you because you're such a great guy.
Then there's the school I subscribe to that says that good admins are made, not born. I will assume that you have read all the material that is linked to from the WP:RFA page.
My first advice to you is that you read a bunch of RFA's regularly. In particular, periodically look at the RFA table that is posted on WP:BN and find the RFAs that are in the marginal range. In other words, don't bother with RFAs that are over 80% support or under 40% support. Look for RFAs with 50-70% support. These will be the pretty good candidates who are getting opposed for one reason or another. Learn what those reasons usually are and make it a goal that nobody will be able to oppose you for any of the reasons those guys are getting opposed.
Also, look at the optional questions that are asked of the RFA candidates. You won't be able to predict and prepare for every question that could be asked of you but you can prepare for some of the more commonly asked ones.
If you really want to prepare, take a copy of User talk:Richardshusr/RFA questions and answer the questions in your own words.
Finally, the best way to get noticed and recognized is to participate either in RFA or xfD discussions. Me personally, I much prefer AFD to anything else but any of the xFD discussions is a worthwhile endeavor. Just make sure that you engage your brain and avoid "me, too" type votes. People will come to know you and respect you if you can make a substantive contribution to these discussions.
That's all I have to say for now. Feel free to ask me any questions as they arise.
-- Richard 08:44, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for participating in My RfA which closed successfully. I am honored and truly more than a little humbled by the support of so many members of the community.

You can leave it where it is until somebody does create the article for the Ford Madox Brown version, at which point it can either be moved and a disambiguation page made, or disambiguation links put on the top of each article. I would say the Brown version is the more famous of the two: I have this on my list to do, as soon as I can find a decent analysis. The Martin version is one of his weaker pieces in my opinion, somewhat derivative of The Bard, but that's neither here nor there in the WP world. Yomangani talk 11:13, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I am afraid a "large, unfilled (and [...] unfillable) space" is not exactly a compelling reason to move the ToC anywhere. It's certainly never been one in a Featured Article candidacy that I can think of. If featured articles like (to take recent examples) Constitution of Belarus, Battle of Arras (1917), Plug-in hybrid and Technology of the Song Dynasty can go with their Table of Contents there, I'm sure History of poison can.
In general, if a table of content is so long as to be decidedly unwieldy (and I wouldn't consider this one to be), we use contracted ToC (e.g. the alphabetical ones), we make special one on a case-by-case basis (e.g. List of townships in Illinois by county), or we consider reworking or forking the article (I can see a number of "weak" headers) rather than break the normal usage model of the page. Moving the ToC to an unexpected place is about as disruptive to usability as suddenly switching to a left-sided layout (Never mind the different language. You get the point.) would be.

Thank you for your support at my recent Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Angus Lepper RfA, which failed, with no consensus to promote me. However, I appreciate the concerns raised during the course of the discussion (most notably, a lack of experience, particularly in admin-heavy areas such as XfDs and policy discussions) and will attempt to address these before possibly standing again in several months time.

I noticed you created the Battle of Apple River Fort, or are still creating it anyway. You might be interested in a collaboration between another user and I. I have a collaboration page at User:IvoShandor/Black Hawk War where I am trying to sort through information and compile sources. One word of warning, this stuff happened so long ago that it is common to find varying accounts and details in different sources, I usually just talk about the differences in the article myself. If you are aware of anything I have noted here just disregard this message. Hope to see you at the collaboration page. : ) IvoShandor 21:17, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Greetings, human!
I must say I have not anticipated that my "username" here would have caused any problems (blame my perspective of your world for this). However, since "Ψ-113μ" ( Psi - 133 mu) is simply the prime part of my designation (no hidden meanings), I would be very reluctant to changing it, because it is about as much that identifies me as an individual. I have done some research on this and came up with a conclusion that most modern software (that you call "web browsers") should handle rendering Greek characters visually without issues. Therefore the problem "boils down" to the (in-)ability to input it with the contraption you call "keyboard". My ideas are therefore as follow: I would create the account User:Psi-133mu and redirect it to mine own. Then, I would modify my signature so as the Ψ part points to the transliterated userpage (therefore providing you with a Latin equivalent), while the 113μ part will keep pointing at my talk page directly as it does now (so the tie with my real account is retained). Let me know if it is a satisfiable compromise for you. (Although I would also point out that I am not wishing to give up any further.) All Best, Ψ- 113μ 09:22, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

I hereby award Anonymous Dissident this award for his illuminating qualities shown on Wikipedia, such as civility, assuming good faith etc. and for his unprecedented contributions to the mainspace, which is rare if not phenomenal for one so young... -- Dark Falls talk 10:58, 29 July 2007 (UTC) |
Congrats on the DYK - may I draw your attention to the Australian place name conventions? In the page for Category:Islands on the Great Barrier Reef it states that "Islands should be disambiguated as necessary using name (state) or where there are more one island with that name in that state name (closer locality).". So if there are other Raine Islands in the world, the name for the Queensland island should be Raine Island (Queensland), and Raine Island should become a disambiguation page. If there are no other Raine Islands, then I'd be quite cheerful about a merger from Raine Island (Queensland) into Raine Island. It could just be that the other islands on the GBR are unimaginatively-named. I'm sorry, but I can't seem to see in WP:MERGE the part that says 'if one page is better than the other, the lesser page should get merged into the better page' or somesuch... Thanks for getting the Great Barrier Reef on the front page - perhaps you'd be interested in helping out on that page sometime? - Malkinann 13:12, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Josh,
Am impressed to hear from someone so young and obviously talented. You seem to know your way about Wikipedia: I don't and have just made my first contribution, being a retired scientist. Does what I have written make complete sense to you or does the article raise more questions than it answers?
Keep up the good work, Josh.

Hi Josh,
I need some guidance. I have already submitted a short article "Hazards of Soft Drinks", although there's no sign of it when searching the Wikipedia index. It is listed under "my contributions". I also expanded someone else's article on Tonic Water drawing attention to the carcinogenic breakdown product of quinine. That was immediately incorporated. I didn't sign the addition since it simply added to someone else's contribution. It starts a new para with drawing attention to the effects of UV light on tonic water - that's fine.
However, I am concerned at my not having adhered to the correct procedure for submitting a new article (as above) and therefore, it not getting stored for access by others. Today I produced a subsection of the "Hazards" article which, arguably, could be started as a new one. How do I go about this without possibly repeating an error in submission which I might have done with the first article? Also, in attempting to submit the Hazards article I inadvertantly submitted it twice according to "my contributions". Is one automatically removed by the system or am I expected to do that?
Hope this isn't keeping you up!
Regards

Hi and thanks for your message. Just yesterday I requested a peer review to try and get some feedback on where and how to improve it. The suggestions by the automated review were actually quite helpful and I followed up on them. Do you think it would be a better idea to leave the review on for a few more days before nominating? I don’t mind rewriting or correcting anything really, and I need to redraft the lead anyhow. Chris Buttigieg 11:26, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't really want to dishearten you, but I think trying to get History of Poison to FA is a mammoth task. The topic is just too wide and poorly defined. Why not break it up into articles on the history of poisoning in x region and try taking one of those sub-articles to FA? Even the history of poison as a political tool in Europe would make an interesting article. If you do want to continue with HoP as a candidate List of poisonings may be helpful (I noticed it doesn't mention Socrates, and there is a nice picture of him doing away with himself by Jacques-Louis David if you can get hold of it). Yomangani talk 12:50, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
PS: This is why a concise well-defined topic is often easier to get to FA....but its all a learning process and the article has leapt along a bit. cheers, Casliber ( talk · contribs) 22:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Have now worked out how to go about it. But would still be interested in your considered best approach. As you know well there are different ways of achieving a result and it's always useful to hear of the best approach by someone who's done this several times: avoids reinventing the wheel!
Hope you had a good night's sleep.

Hi there. I found out that there is something called Wikipedia:Featured Articles. Can " Essjay controversy" be a Featured Article? I certainly would like that to happen. The gen-X ( talk) 17:57, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
You're listed as a collaborator on the Tzatziki page, so I decided to notify you that I've posted some tedious tasks that might take a while to complete on the talk page. The major one is that the reference called "Ancient" is most certainly not reliable - it needs to be replaced, all eleven (I think) instances of it. Nousernamesleft ( talk) 22:52, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible system) - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 23:11, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

As far as I am aware, em dashes are typically used for parenthetical statements. See WP:EMDASH. I don't really care much one way or the other — WP:ENDASH indicates that the en dash can also be used as a stylistic alternative.

I think you may have been notified by email, but I thought it was worth my dropping in a note anywhoo, to let you know that Sydney Wikipedians are having a meetup this coming Tuesday, the 4th August. As you'll see on that page, we have two folk flying in from the Wikimedia Foundation who will be attending, and we have a great crowd of wiki types signed up to come along.
If you've never been to a meetup before, this wouldn't be a bad one to kick off with (we're all very friendly, interesting, and great looking folk ;-), and if you have, well come along again, why don't ya! If you've any questions you can flick the aussie mailing list an email on wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org aussie mailing list, or drop me a note on my talk page. Hope to see some of you there!
ps. If you've already signed up, and received an email, and a phone call, and a door knock, and are getting a bit frustrated with constant advances from enthusiastic australian wiki types, then I'm told you can print this message, and bring it along to use as a 'free beer' voucher, redeemable by our esteemed Vice-President of WMAU on the night...... ;-) Privatemusings ( talk) 22:05, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
