Story
A story with a story, especially for you whenevr you have time: Great Dismal Swamp maroons, DYK? - Enjoy your trip, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:22, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks Gerda, I will take a look. 28bytes (talk) 02:50, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Making a bot
I'm just thinking, how much effort would it take to make a bot that made notifications at AN about administrative backlogs?Jasper Deng (talk) 02:49, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
- No idea. :) Do you think there would be consensus for such a thing? If so, your best bet would be to write something that would notify you (on your talk page) about administrative backlogs, and once you get that working perfectly, open a discussion someplace (e.g. WP:AN, WT:AN or the village pump) requesting feedback on it. If that goes well, a BRFA should be pretty painless. 28bytes (talk) 02:53, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
- It would help ease our problems with not enough admins paying attention to the backlogs. I think I'll open a VPPR thread on it.Jasper Deng (talk) 02:55, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Indef block on Kumioko
Don't you think an indef block is a bit harsh for a retired editor? If this were somebody who didn't care about the pedia I could see your choice, but since the editor had 300,000+ edits over 6 years, virtually all positive and valuable, don't you think a 30-day block would serve better? Does the editor have a long history of abusing multiple accounts? I've seen editors who were clearly using multiple accounts to stack AfDs given a mere three day block. It was my hope that the user would cool off a bit and come back again, and now your choice has closed the door on that, barring cleanstart. Please reconsider the length of the block. BusterD (talk) 19:23, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
- Always happy to re-consider; I've posted a request for a block review on AN/I; feel free to comment there. To clarify, he's editing under another account now, which I've only blocked for a week. 28bytes (talk) 19:26, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Night Ranger
What point was he trying to make? Drmies (talk) 02:50, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
- He seems (seemed?) to like sock-tagging people and putting banned templates on their userpages. Floq and I asked him not to do that to Kumioko, and his response was of the "well, if 'banned' templates are such a bad thing, then I'm going to go through every banned user page and remove them" variety. The hope being that people would relent and say, "no, no, banned templates are great, don't do that!" or something, I guess. 28bytes (talk) 03:03, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
- And now he's blocked, and we wait for the next installment of the ongoing soap. Thanks for the explanation. BTW, I didn't see any productive edits from them, though I certainly haven't looked at them all. Drmies (talk) 03:08, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
- Well, he did create this article recently, so he has the potential to be a very positive force here if he can set aside that sock silliness. 28bytes (talk) 23:07, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Move Like This
free, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:53, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
- Danke! 28bytes (talk) 22:55, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
- Bridge on de Main page tomorrow (pic) and day after, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:51, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- Likely of interest: Projekt Musikalben. I introduced the article on the talk, best watch yourself also, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:07, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- added to Produkte, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:25, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- nominated - for a feeling how it may look see today's, lower right corner, Schon gewusst? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:51, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks Gerda, I appreciate it! It will be neat to see on the front page if it is accepted. 28bytes (talk) 16:06, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Discussion started, but only about a hook, tells me that the article is accepted as meeting the requirements. It's #59 in the waiting list, can take a month or so until appearing, and let's find a better hook. - For the bridge, I changed it for the second day (without pic), it just went on Hauptseite, we'll see for how long, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:06, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks Gerda, let me know if I can do anything to help. 28bytes (talk) 02:36, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
- Follow the link "nominated" and see if you can propose a better hook. I would like to see the bassist mentioned, the one who spoke up thinks it's too long then. (Same one who returned the bridge "teaser" to nonsense, I knew that would happen. I argued, but don't expect much, -asking what's more important, the rules or the information of our readers? Actually a very general question.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:39, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
- For a smile: 18,756 hits for the bridge. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:58, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

FYI
ShmuckatellieJoe asked me a couple of times to indef block the account last week, but I told him to wait a few days and make sure. Today I got another email saying he was sure, so I went ahead and did it. There were no additional problems that led to the indef block, it was just their own request. --Floquenbeam (talk) 01:13, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- Self-requested blocks when mixed with or extended from blocks for behavior make me a bit uneasy, but I'll trust your judgment. Thanks for the heads-up. 28bytes (talk) 01:16, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, it didn't occur to me that it might be a problem, I should have checked with you first then. I usually hand out self-requested blocks like candy, but I think this is the first time it's been for someone already blocked by another admin. My apologies. --Floquenbeam (talk) 01:34, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- No, no apologies necessary, and it's not for my sake that I'm uneasy... I've just seen a number of other editors (Badger Drink, BarkingMoon, and a few others) have a self-requested block later used against them. People will say Kumioko the person was indefinitely blocked for socking, and while you and I know that's not the case, it can be hard to explain the nuance to people. 28bytes (talk) 01:47, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Regarding that, another FYI since I've indirectly commented about on this situation at WT:CheckUser#Recommendation for a clarification of the rules. Amalthea 22:35, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads-up. 28bytes (talk) 02:33, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
My RFC
I've opened an RFC, but I haven't been able to get many uninvolved editors. Should I canvass? I'm neutral on this dispute.Jasper Deng (talk) 00:54, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- No, you shouldn't canvass. Sometimes discussions just aren't interesting to a large group of people, so only a few people will comment. You've got an RfC tag on there, so uninvolved people would have had a chance to weigh in if they wanted to. 28bytes (talk) 01:08, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Also, it can take some time - for one thing, the RfC bot hasn't pushed it out yet. RfCs can last for a month, so best to just let it happen. Worm · (talk) 10:37, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
I just sent you another email. Just wanted to mention I think those Ip's should stay blocked because folks are going to think there Kumioko wether they are or not. 138.162.8.57 (talk) 15:57, 19 March 2012 (UTC)(Kumioko)
- As I said in the e-mail, you were blocked for a week and the week has passed, so feel free to edit productively. As long as you don't annoy people or pretend to be two different people everything should be fine. 28bytes (talk) 16:14, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- No problem, its all good I don't intend to edit much if at all. I have seen what happens when a productive editor voices their opinion or tries to do the right thing and I have learned my lesson. I plan to stay away and let Misplaced Pages do whatever its going to do without me. :-) 138.162.8.58 (talk) 16:18, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
Delicious carbuncle
You referred in this discussion to Delicious carbuncle's "WP:BATTLEGROUND behavior". He seems to be intent on proving your point, doesn't he? How much longer are we going to have to put up with this WR troll and serial harasser? Prioryman (talk) 19:20, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- I admit to being puzzled why he requested an interaction ban with you if he wants to keep opening noticeboard threads about you. 28bytes (talk) 19:31, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
You closed the AN thread without understanding what was being asked. Now that you do understand, can you please reopen the thread? I would just do it myself, but that seems rude. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 11:48, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
- If you posted any links to sanctions outside the remit of ArbCom, I'm not seeing them. Regardless, reopen if you want, I won't revert you. (And unless some new information appears in that thread, I'll likely not participate in it further.) Do mind the boomerang though. 28bytes (talk) 14:03, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
