Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 08:34, 24 January 2007

I understand the ramifications of my recent RFA, and it has been requested that I step down and wait for another nomination. Right now, it is too late (at night), and I am going to sleep on this request, and think things over. I do not want having been awarded a few extra buttons split the community.

When I find that the conversations or issues discussed here have either ended or resolved, they will be inserted into my archives at my own discretion. --Ryūlóng

Possible Sockpuppetry

Hey Ryulong, judging by the types of edits and editing style, 2006Wii seems to be a sockpuppet of you know who. --Benten 23:10, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Looked into it. Unconfirmed as of yet (also, please link to the contribs...).—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 23:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Now I see it. I had an inkling, but there were also some conflicting things.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 23:14, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

These reports to AIV

Especially the first, blocked last month... ARV going wonky? /wangi 23:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Come again?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 23:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

You reported those two in the 10 mins or so... 65.111.169.35 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) was already indefblocked since December (open proxy) and the second appears to have no contribs (and certainly has never had a talk page). Just trying to piece it together! Ta/wangi 23:37, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh. Bobabobabo editted out of there, didn't check to see if it was blocked already (it may need a hardblock). The user created a confirmed sockpuppet—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 23:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Get the ArbCom!

You know what I'm talking about. -- Altiris Exeunt 10:45, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

On second thoughts, forget it...I was reading things one hour after they actually happened...sorry. -- Altiris Exeunt 10:49, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

User:CrownJewel

I honestly have no idea, although it has become apparent that he/she is not paying attention to feedback on her/his user talk page thusfar. --Kukini 17:14, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Neopets

Thanks for your help with reverts on the what seems to be ongoing vandalism of the Neopets page! Good work :) Benbread 22:27, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:45, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Posting my first page School Tyme Hip-Hop Productions

This is the first time I'm posting information on wikipedia, yes it is about my new company, but no it is not supposed to be blatant advertizing. I would like to inform the world that we do exist and what we are doing how should I properly do that on wikipedia 76.170.250.253 05:39, 24 January 2007 (UTC) dallen02

Misplaced Pages is not the place to do this. If your record company is mentioned by a major news source, then it could be notable. But wanting to inform the world that you do exist is spam, sorry.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 05:43, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

okay how do i delet it then?

It might be done, but I think I can do it now :)—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:24, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Sysop promotion

I have made you a sysop. Please be sure you are well versed in our policies before using the shiny new buttons. Raul654 06:20, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Congrats!

Ryulong, as co-nominator on your RFA, I'd like to congratulate you on getting the mop, have fun with the shiny new buttons :) Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 06:27, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

If you really believe you should be admin, then you should respect community consensus and not use the buttons until we've settled this issue. (No, I'm not saying you should resign, but if you really respect the community you will hold off using the buttons until we sort this out.) – Chacor 06:30, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Wow, you lucky bum, you got in, I didn't think you'd pull it off. Well, I believe this last RfA has taught you to go a bit easy on the stuff you receieved as criticism, so I believe you will make a fine admin - much quicker to block vandals than just waiting at AIV. (though it will be weird not having another commoner with ridiculously high edit count!!). Patstuart 06:33, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I tend to endorse Chacor's point about not using your new tools until this has been discussed and sorted on WT:RFA; less trouble overall, I think. Whilst I have no opinion on what Raul654 has done related to whether he should or should have promoted you, I give you my sincerest congratulations and thanks for all your past work on Misplaced Pages, and give you my best wishes for the future. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 06:37, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

:/ So I can't

1. Speedy delete an image I tagged myself for being redundant
2. Re-semi/move protect my userpage, testing everything out?
3. Speedy delete a page that I tagged myself and with the author's request (seen above)

—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:39, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

You can do whatever you please, really. I'm just giving you a kind suggestion, and naturally whether you wish to accept it in full, in part (ie. do what you said above) or not at all is your decision and yours only. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 06:40, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

My point of asking you not to was partially because the last time we had such an RFA pass, we all know what happened. People started asking Carnildo to step down. I think that you should voluntarily just avoid the tools for now. (There is discussion at WT:RFA, btw, so if you want to make any comments...) – Chacor 06:41, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations on your RfA! Now here comes the sordid part: though I wholeheartedly support your new adminship position, due to the extreme and potentially controversial circumstances surrounding the closing of your RfA, I suggest holding off on the most controversial of admin buttons (namely, blocking powers, among others) and suggest diverting your efforts to clearing out clearcut cases in CSD (or protecting your talkpage) until the community or the b'crats have reached a definite decision. However, I support the legitimacy of your new position as servant to the Misplaced Pages community, and I will wholeheartedly support your continued quest to benefit Misplaced Pages, the community, and its editors. Again, congratulations! (yes, I know I sound like a harbinger of doom masquerading as an enthusiastic supporter) --physicq (c) 06:42, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Right, then. Off to close some AFDs?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:43, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Eh, clearcut cases, yes. Try to stay off some controversial cases for a while, if you want to keep your newly adminated hands clean. Though, of course, you can do so if you wish. --physicq (c) 06:45, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Ryulong, my recommendation to any new sysop is to use the tools slowly and gradually. But, a crat has made the decision, and you have the buttons. I see no reason for you to hold off as a few users have their knickers in a bunch. Give 'em a whirl and clear some backlogs :)

For everyone else, leave him alone? Congrats again mate  Glen  06:47, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Face it, he had no consensus. Asking the opposition to piss off won't help. – Chacor 06:49, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Thats something you'll have to address with Raul. Ryulong in the meantime has every right to clear some backlogs (hint hint! ;)  Glen  06:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Wait a second, Ryulong has been promoted, as exactly expected of him in the system, and you guys don't want him to use the tools? That's not fair at all. If his powers get revoked, fine, but don't expect him to sit back and do nothing in the meantime. Patstuart 06:51, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

though I agree with Glen and Physics' solution of going it slow... Patstuart 06:52, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Being pissed off about an apparent case of "more discretion than usual" won't help either, though I do ask for restraint. And let's not argue on this talk page, do so at WT:RFA. --physicq (c) 06:53, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, this discussion is better centralised at WT:RFA. I guess my point was to stay away from the controversial stuff, per Glen and others above. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 06:56, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations, and enjoy the shiny buttons. Ask if you need help with anything, and go clear out CAT:CSD. --Slowking Man 06:55, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Nag nag nag; you should disable anon-only when blocking suspected or known proxies, as no one, including registered users, should be able to use them (however, this does not inlcude Tor nodes, as some editors use them to circumvent government censorship). And there are also some helpful templates for tagging Talk pages! The More You Know…--Slowking Man 07:24, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• Congrats, although make sure you don't let the debate get to you, regardless of the outcome or the stances. — Deckiller 07:10, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Congrats, I second the motion you help at CSD, always a huge backlog there. VegaDark 07:25, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Yep, CSD is too big of a backlog, just get some sleep in between CSD sessions. Oh, and remember that just because its tagged for CSD doesn't mean hit delete, there is the odd good article in there tagged by vandals etc. As for the open proxy, that was routine, I see no problems whatsoever with that block -- Tawker 07:32, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm actually surprised and disappointed to hear that you've been asked to step down and wait for a new nomination. I don't think that's needed (yet, anyway, unless Raul's promotion gets overruled), but thanks for acknowledging the uproar that has occurred. – Chacor 08:20, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
