Hello! The ] team is running a usability test to find out how and where IP addresses are used when patrolling wikis, particularly when patrolling RecentChanges. This could include New Pages or RecentChanges patrol. We want to see your patrolling process and get your views on some prototypes. Getting your perspective would be really helpful to us at this stage of the process. If you’d like to help, and have 30 minutes to spare, please fill out this Google form with your details: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjYyRNGMkO4_TdNOgG4qmK9cp9YOKzM4GFO5pTd_bEcu23YQ/viewform

I'm a little confused I looked at the AfD and it looked like consensus was in favor of keeping those articles. Where was it discussed otherwise? It seems someone redirected and no one contested it (actually it looks like it was contested just not by established users). However, I am now contesting it, mainly because the characters are also featured in a film and a video game not just one comic book.

Please, do not revert back to the ] version. We've discussed it on the talkpage with two other editors and agreed the article was a hoax and an obvious POV fork of another article. It's up for deletion anyway or maybe for a redirect to the actual article. It was me that removed that info and justified my removal.

== Jack page ==

Ok, well let me explain. Essentially, you're factually correct, what you're adding is true information. However, the sections you're adding it to are very short compact ones to summarily describe the character's history in the order it was revealed (]) and in minimal, essential detail. There is one line later on that discusses Jack's immortality works "either by resurrection or invulnerability" (with a citation to "Utopia" after the word invulnerability). That paragraph, mind, probably does need work but it's the only place in the article that the information should be discussed ''at length'' (although, very little length, at that). It's not essential for a reader who wants to know the character's history to know beyond the word "immortality".~<b><font color="purple">]</font></b><sup>]</sup> 22:20, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

:So let me get this straight...you reverted perfectly good information that improved the article by providing a much needed source, because of an edit summary that included no vandalism of any kind whatsoever (but rather, the lyrics to one of the songs on the album)? And then, instead of actually letting me know on my page why you reverted the edit, and to point out the problem with my edit summary, you just left it at that? *eyeroll* ] <small>(]</small> <small>]</small> 18:39, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Copyvios aren't in his MO, but believe me, the thought had occurred to me. I think that we've pretty much seen the last of Bambifan101 since we blocked his school IP and even Simple English, in need as they are of editors, initiated the same block range which we did. Definitely worth keeping an eye on this one, though. --] (]) 02:58, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

You got that right. He remains the single strangest individual I've ever dealt with on this site. The little putz wore out his welcome by basically turning this site's generosity onto itself; his ranges were too big to block and he knew it. He finally pushed too far and three BellSouth ranges and a school are locked out. All of his pet articles are still locked out as well, which is a damn shame. If he were my kid, I wouldn't allow him near a computer until he turned 30. --] (]) 03:11, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Good question. He's definitely on the top of the list. ] in his "Grawp" persona comes to mind, but a lot of the vandalism from that account was coordinated offsite by copycats. ] is a pretty persistent individual as is ]. The only really intelligent vandal I ever locked horns with was ] under his socks, ] and ] which in turn was an anagram of the other sock. Bambifan was just plain clueless. --] (]) 00:18, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Seriously. Would you believe that's the first time in four years I've experienced that particular pointlessness?

By all tokens you appear to be a marvelous editor, however, it sounds to me as though you are getting into an edit war with 88.202.201.30 over the content of his usertalk. I left a comment to the same extent on his page. sorry if it sounds patronizing. Tact is not my strong point.

Thank You for the correction, its very kind of You! I thought that the word was accidentally misspelled.


Is there no other simple and quick way of communication here on Wiki? or is this way the only way, except sending mail? I was just thinking that it is not last time i will misspell english words and the list of thank You can be realtive big here :)

Once again, thank You! Then...if You have lot of time and dont know what to do with it and You are good at making the layout/ spelling of the articles (as im not) I can most probably give You a full time job here! :)

If you can find time to come back and help us progress over there, again, that would be much appreciated!

Hi, I noticed the large scale delete you made on the above page. Such action has been proposed in the past and discouraged, it's a sensitive topic and aslong as protests and replies are civil the general agreement is to keep the protests, they just end up getting archived (have a look through, there's ''a lot''). I propose reinstating the content. <b>]</span><sup>]</sup></b> 17:11, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
:Never. Also, as far as I know, I'm the one that has proposed removal more often than any one else. However, the community would prefer they remain and so that's why I mentioned it. I don't agree with it but know that others do so that's why I've gone ahead and reinstated the content. <b>]</span><sup>]</sup></b> 17:22, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Please help with usability testing

Hello! The mw:Anti-Harassment Tools team is running a usability test to find out how and where IP addresses are used when patrolling wikis, particularly when patrolling RecentChanges. This could include New Pages or RecentChanges patrol. We want to see your patrolling process and get your views on some prototypes. Getting your perspective would be really helpful to us at this stage of the process. If you’d like to help, and have 30 minutes to spare, please fill out this Google form with your details: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjYyRNGMkO4_TdNOgG4qmK9cp9YOKzM4GFO5pTd_bEcu23YQ/viewform
