Warn

Lol, sorry for the warning conflict.--IGeMiNix (talk) 18:50, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

No worries. --Inka 18:51, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Your monobook.js

Fixed. Now try purging again. Access Denied 21:39, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm Back!!!

I'm back.--intelati 22:40, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

RfA !votes

Hi Inka. I notice you're a very prolific !voter in RfA's, but I can't recall that you've ever voted "oppose". Am I mistaken? Also, it's probably better to add some text explaining why you're !voting the way you are, rather than just to say "support", as you did here. Thanks,  – OhioStandard (talk) 23:13, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

He is entitled to only !vote for those he supports, you know. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:17, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

I usually don't get involved in rfa's that I would oppose, I have been Neutral on a few. --Inka 00:25, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. The "talkback" wasn't necessary, btw: when you entered edit mode on my talk page you would have been presented with an "attention" message saying so.  – OhioStandard (talk) 03:59, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Sure he is, Elen. But to be perfectly candid, I'm just very uneasy that Inka seems so very focused on all things admin. I'm thinking of the out-of-the-gate userbox "This user isn't an admin, but acts like one", the hugely persistent and very disruptive push for rollback, his attempt to close an RfA, his having !voted in roughly 20 RfA's for users he's probably not familiar with, without a single oppose and nothing like enough time on most or all (imo, based on the timing of his edits) to familiarize himself with an unknown candidate's background sufficiently before !voting. The single word "Sure" !votes, after only a three-minute look into someone's history, in some cases, don't inspire me with confidence, either.

And more generally, I have to question how qualified someone with so short a history is to evaluate whether an unfamiliar user will make a sound admin. I know Inka is allowed to do most or all of these things he has, but why so compelling an interest, and why start !voting so much in RfA's after being here for little over a month? It's all just a bit troubling to me, and I was wondering whether all the "support" !votes could possibly be motivated by a sort of vicarious wish-fulfillment thing. Sorry, Inka, I don't like criticizing you or anyone else, and I do think your wish to help with the infrastructure here is commendable. No one would be more pleased than I to see you eventually meet the standards for adminship. I just think both you and the project might be better served by taking your eyes off that prize for a while. Best,  – OhioStandard (talk) 03:59, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

I never entered edit mode on your talk page I use "easy talkback", I also have been here for over two months I got here on July, 17, 2010 My time July, 18, 2010 UTC time. Before I vote on a rfa I read the questions for the candidate, and check their edit count, and take a look at their recent activity; I'm allowed to !vote in rfa's and I'm entitled to my opinion. Regards, --Inka 18:29, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Raw code

Click the Edit/View source tab on the top of the page.--intelati 00:42, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Spam

I'm hesitant to say no. but It would be COI. If it is the blocked user I saw you talking to, I would have to say no, but he's on a tight leash so it would be extremely difficult to do. Sooo. all that to say Toss Up--intelati 00:57, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

So you wouldn't recommend telling that user that? --Inka 01:34, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

1. I wouldn't recommend saying that, but either ask another person or using your discretion on that.
2. the rollback vs. a normal revert is pretty much done, and it molded into the Conflict discussion
3. Fetchcomms seems pretty annoyed, so lay off of him for a while. --intelati 02:13, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Lupin

Are you using the New Skin? ?--intelati 02:59, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Ok now hit CTRL+SHIFT+R, and it should work, It works on Chrome for me.--intelati 03:01, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

I use vector skin, it still does not do anything. --Inka 03:07, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm... I use Google Chrome, hit Shift+f5 (the cache bypass for my browser) and worked on the first try, Which browser are you using?--intelati 03:09, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Firefox --Inka 03:10, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Read Misplaced Pages:Clear_your_cache#Mozilla_family--intelati 03:12, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Wait a minute... you add Lupin's AVT to your monobook.js yet you use vector? That explains why it wasn't working... Access Denied 03:19, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

I figured that out and then I put it in my vector.js page. --Inka 03:21, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Delete it from you monobook page.--intelati 03:22, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

 Done but still  Not done. Inka 03:29, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Or just add

importScript('User:Inka 888/monobook.js');

to your vector.js file. Access Denied 03:27, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Without the pre tags..right?

Yes. Access Denied  03:29, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

But that won't work with a blank monobook.js. Access Denied  03:31, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

I tried using it with chrome because I have it on my other computer, and it still did not work. I'm giving up. --Inka 14:09, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Test

This page has 10 vandalisms on it. Find them and win a Prize!!! --intelati 04:24, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

I think I removed the vandalism. --Inka 15:44, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Pretty much all of it, but the article was too long, I'll do another one for you.--intelati 15:46, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Same thing Here.--intelati 15:49, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

 Done Inka 16:05, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Use the history to check yourself.--intelati 16:13, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Seems to be done. --Inka 16:16, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

How would you come to that conclusion?--intelati 16:17, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

because it just seems like a page that needs cleanup now, not a test page. --Inka 16:23, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

See This dif--intelati 16:22, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

I saw it. Inka 16:29, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Inka, look at the article. Does it look right? Do the tags and infobox look right? Is it possible that you have just reverted an edit that contained a correction as well as a vandalism? Elen of the Roads (talk) 18:00, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

In this edit you moved added some new information which was wrong not included in the previous versions. The information you added is wrong. Can you spot it? Dr.K.  18:34, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

I think I removed some things by accident. Inka 18:36, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes you did and that was part of the infobox. To fix the infobox the best thing to do is go to history and see the first version by Intelati when the infobox was still there. Then go to your latest version and compare it to the first version and see what's missing. But also you moved something which was wrong instead of deleting it (I rephrased above). Can you find the wrong info and delete it? Dr.K.  18:48, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Case reopened. Moved from archive--intelati 23:05, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Good move Intelati. Thank you. Dr.K.  23:19, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Your welcome, thought you guys would finish up while I'm gone. Guess not. :)--intelati 23:21, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

I guess when the mentor's away.... Dr.K.  23:23, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Start by finishing this "test" I just got back from an apointment and need to eat, soo... Give me till 3:15 UTC--intelati 02:15, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Will do. --Inka 02:17, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Also, given our discussion yesterday about CSD, would you care to venture a look at User:Access_Denied/CSD_Examples#Example_17. Would you tag this, and if so in what category? --Elen of the Roads (talk) 14:34, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

A1 --Inka 14:35, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Could you explain why you would choose that category? --Elen of the Roads (talk) 14:37, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Article contains a fully completed and wikilinked taxobox, and the single sentence †Heterosubulitidae is an extinct taxonomic family of sea snails, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the informal group Lower Heterobranchia. While I sympathise that most of the wording in this very short article is taxonomic, why is it lacking sufficient context to identify the subject of the article, which is plainly some kind of extinct sea snail? This was something of a trick question, which was why I asked whether you would tag it. Project Gastropod have added around 15,000 similar articles (although in fairness to them, they do use a reference, which I stripped out of this one). Perhaps reading WP:STUB would help - very short articles are allowed on Misplaced Pages, provided you can work out what they are about.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 15:25, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

This page: User:Intelati/test/1 has been left in a bad state and has not been fixed yet. Intelati has left it as an assignment and I provided instructions on how to fix it. This test is important because it needs navigation through history and comparison of revisions to fix it, as well as careful reading of the text and critical thinking. If Inka is to be trusted with reverting all forms of vandalism and not only the simplest forms, he should IMO successfully complete this vandalism-elimination/correction test. Dr.K.  16:44, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't know to do it without rewriting everything that was removed I don't have a tool that will revert more than one edit. --Inka 23:30, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Go to history and see this: "(cur | prev) 11:47, 25 September 2010 Intelati (talk | contribs) (2,804 bytes) (←Created page with '{{BLP IMDB-only refimprove|date=July 2010}} {{Infobox actor | name = Jordan Todosey | image = | caption = | birthdate = {{bda|1995|...')" Press the "cur" button to compare with the latest (current) version and see what's missing from the infobox. That'll fix the infobox. Also see if the person is dead or not. I don't think she is. Dr.K.  23:43, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

think it's done. Inka 23:53, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

::::I hate to disappoint you but it is not done. Can you follow my instructions and get this diff? Dr.K.  23:55, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

::::Look on the left and on the right of the diff. Can you fix the right side based on what's missing when compared to the left side? Dr.K.  23:57, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Are you talking about the date of birth and date of death being the same day. --Inka 23:59, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

That's one mistake. But also you have to fix the infobox. Look how it looked when Intelati created the page: . Dr.K.  00:01, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Look at the infobox: Her age is 15. How can she be in a category: "deceased people"? Dr.K.  00:02, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't see where it says that. --Inka 00:05, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Because you fixed it. I was referring to the edit before your last . It is much better now. I think you got it. Dr.K.  00:08, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

However instead of doing all these edits you could have gone to history and reverted back to the last good version which was the very first edit that Intelati made. Dr.K.  00:13, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

For some reason I was not thinking about, I know I could of done it that way. --Inka 00:17, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

As long as you keep this in mind for next time it will be ok. Thanks for trying so hard. Take care. Dr.K.  00:19, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Will Work up a new one for tomorrow. BTW, Thanks Dr.K for all the help:)--Talktome 01:23, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

You are very welcome Intelati. You get most of the credit though. :) Thanks for the great examples. Dr.K.  01:31, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

9/29/2010

A little bit trickier, but same concept. Here.--Talktome 18:12, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

 Done. --Inka 21:39, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

very good - although I think you need to look a little more closely at the items in the infobox that are not currently showing up in the article. Some vandals love to hide their work in this way. By way of a follow up, I have edited it again - pretend only the last edit (the one with the summary) is me, the others are a vandal. Would you be able to remove the vandalism but still leave my good edit? --Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:08, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Actually, originally, even I was puzzled by this as well. I actually fixed it in the last edit by me. (I made sure to fix it in the original article as well :)--Talktome 22:12, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

I take it you copied a vandalised version of the infobox without realising it??? Inka reverted to the original version, not noticing that you had fixed some vandalism as well as adding some extras. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:17, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

See here !!!!!--Talktome 22:18, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

I just figured that out before you told me. --Inka 22:19, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

 Done Inka 22:22, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Almost. The vandal didn't add weight and measurements to the template (they must use it for wrestlers, or models or something) so those could have stayed, although you would never use them normally, but did add "Eurobabe index". Also, you've left one of my vandal edits in. Well done for retaining the good edit I made.Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:29, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Well done, you've got it this time :) Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:38, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Care to have a go at User:Access_Denied/CSD_Examples#Example_18. Would you tag it, and if so, what would you tag it as.Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:37, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

A3 --Inka 22:39, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Well done. Contains nothing but a rephrasing of the title and a link (a duff one in this case).Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:44, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Your warning at User_talk:166.137.138.125

Your warning at User_talk:166.137.138.125 seems to have a link to your edits, rather than to the IP's. David Biddulph (talk) 23:29, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Inka currently does not use Twinkle, so he has to hand insert the diff when using a warning template. Looking at the IP's track record, I can't see that it made a great deal of difference to the outcome :) :) --Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:39, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

I have no idea what either of you are talking about. --Inka 23:52, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

At User_talk:166.137.138.125 there is a warning which you added. In that warning are the words "your recent edits", with a link to Special:Contributions/Inka_888. If you are placing such a warning on an IP's talk page, the link should point to the IP's edits, hence it should have been to Special:Contributions/166.137.138.125. David Biddulph (talk) 00:00, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

I fixed the warning so in the future it won't do that. --Inka 00:05, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Ice Cube

The album was released on the 28th, today is the 29th. The IP editor was correct. Be careful of these things. Thanks--Talktome 02:34, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

I was more concerned about the other edits that user made. I agree I should not of reverted it. --Inka 02:41, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Can you create this page for me please, It's for the Monthly and most edited pages in here. Thanks.--Talktome 04:06, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm confused as to what you want me to do. --Inka 23:19, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Create the page with anything. I.E. Hit edit then put "ajkdfgh;" in it. It shows your Monthly and most edited pages in an edit counter.--Talktome 23:26, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Userboxes--Talktome 01:22, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

How do you do the code. --Inka 01:30, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure exactly how, but use your sandbox to experiment. That's what I do anyway. :)--Talktome 01:31, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

The basic code works like this: {{Userbox |id = this is what shows up on the left side |info = this is what shows up on the right side |id-c = the background color of the left side |info-c the background color of the right side }} For example: {{Userbox |id = ] |info = Cheese is good. |id-c = orange |info-c = red }} will look like this:

Cheese is good.

Hope this helps. Access Denied  01:37, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

How do you turn it into a short code. --Inka 01:57, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Make a new page with that code, then people can use the brackets to show the userboxen.--Talktome 02:01, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

this how it should look. That's an example; should I just put the user box on page and then save it? Inka 02:11, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

You could use {{User Meta-Wiki}}, but yes. Kind of like your vandislism template, but without using the "subst:" --Talktome 02:14, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

I would use {{User:Inka_888/2,000}} Copy the code to this page, then use the showing code on your user page.--Talktome 02:19, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Should I put that on the page with the user box? Will it create a blue link with {{User:Inka_888/2,000}}? --Inka 02:28, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, and yes. Talktome 02:32, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh...Ok, first time. --Inka 02:46, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Minor edits

The Ip's are Anonymous, so each edit they make must be carefully screened. On the other hand, the minor edits are suppose to be non controversial.--Talktome 22:07, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

No;there was an edit conflict, we were both trying to revert the page at the same time. --Inka 02:20, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Link Rot

It's fine right now, check back in a month, then the link rot might be a problem--Talktome 02:49, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

If you put {{linkrot}} on the page it would say bare URL's as references which appears to be relevant now. --Inka 02:59, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Rollback

Would you use rollback if the edits were questionable? I.e. not exactly vandalism, but also not exactly constructive.--Talktome 05:35, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Depends on the case in a very rare situation where a page got badly messed up by multiple edits I might. In almost every case I would use the undo or manually revert. --Inka 16:53, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

That exactly right. :)--Talktome 16:54, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Archiving

I like a smaller Archive, so things are easy to find, but ultimately it is your choice. the 445k is a fine compromise, but I wouldn't go any bigger than that. Thanks.--Talktome 21:48, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Friendly is apart of Twinkle now. :)--Talktome 04:38, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Ok --Inka 16:16, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Are you really sure about this?

You just set your max archive size to 850K. That's probably a bad idea, because long pages like that cause Internet Explorer to crash. Access Denied  03:43, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Just internet explorer or any browser? I use firefox. --Inka 03:46, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Just internet explorer. I also use firefox, but about 47% of wikipedia users use internet explorer. Back when I used it, loading any page larger than about 150K would cause major slowdown. Access Denied  03:51, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

100K is already pretty long; that's past 80 average-length sections. It's not the browser that's the issue, it's the Internet speed. Yes, IE sucks, but if your page is just 200KB, it would take many users 10 minutes or more to load. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 21:08, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

...and your archives are not just for you, they're for admins and others too. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 21:16, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I understand that but look at this archive it took me 15 seconds to load that page. --Inka 22:20, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Took me 30 seconds, but that's not the problem. On firefox, it runs completely smoothly, but on IE8, it was very annoying how much scrolling lag there was. Access Denied  03:37, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I have it set at 445K right now should I make it lower? --Inka 03:43, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Probably yes, but thats up to you.--Talktome 03:45, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I'd set it to 300K as a bare maximum. Access Denied  03:45, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Reviewing

Reviewing is a new part of Misplaced Pages and very controversial. I would wait to actually review the articles until we can talk about it. Thanks--Talktome 01:36, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

WP:BLP Violations

User:Intelati/test/2 --Talktome 22:39, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

The death section had vandalism in it. --InkaCome yell at me! 00:03, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Intelati, do not use articles on real subjects to practice on. BLP violations, for testing or not, should exist nowhere, not in userspace or anywhere else. You'll have to make fake articles. Also, when copying content within Misplaced Pages, you need to attribute it per the terms of the CC-BY-SA. This can be done via a comment in the edit summary, where it will be visible in the history, or you can add a note to the article itself saying where the content came from. See this page for more. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 00:19, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't know that much about WP:BLP. I thought it was vandalism to a page about a living person, usually saying something defaming to that person. InkaCome yell at me! 21:18, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

A typical vandal tactic is to add false information that a living person died. Obviously there will not be a citation to this wrong information. A helpful IP sometimes will come along and remove the false death claim. So if you see death claims without citation you should be aware of possible vandalism. Preferably perform a Google search to verify that the person may still be alive. Dr.K.  21:43, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't I just revert it it? I think it says to do so at WP:BLP to all unsourced claims and rumors on pages about living people. --InkaCome yell at me! 22:34, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Absolutely. First you automatically revert the uncited death claim and then, if you want to make sure, Google anyway just to see if you can find any reliable citation just in case. Dr.K.  22:48, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. --InkaCome yell at me! 22:49, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Don't mention it Inka. It was a pleasure. Dr.K.  00:10, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Leaving Warning templates

When you leave a warning template (even though it's not required or anything) please consider using the style that references a specific article as in this Unsourced edit welcome... subst:uw-unsourced1|article. You left some Warnings without the article-names recently (for instance, at http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:199.8.222.105 & http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:99.227.180.51). Leaving a Notice/Warning+article-name makes it easier for other editors to follow-up on particular edits and also reminds the errant editor exactly where they have made their mistakes. Just a thought, Shearonink (talk) 14:55, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't use huggle or any tool like that so I have to type the page name in manually. --InkaCome yell at me! 03:37, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

It's not so bad having to type the name in manually. I don't use Huggle either, so that's what I do. Because I like to be make sure the Warning fits the edit, I usually even go to Misplaced Pages:Template messages/User talk namespace and manually pick out the appropriate Warning for the test/vandal/joke/whatever edit. Shearonink (talk) 10:22, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

I usually would do type in the name manually. When there is a lot of vandalism and very few vandal fighters, I would not do it because it takes more time. --InkaCome yell at me! 18:06, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Questions

First, service awards are awards that you give yourself for your contributions. don't focus on them as they are just for fun. :)

Second, Huggle is often faster than plain roll back becuse you can see the diff without switching windows. other than that, the only differences between that and the recent changes, is that Huggle warns the person, and the edits are automatically updated.--Talktome 01:34, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

I was just wondering about the service awards because I was unclear as to how they worked. InkaCome yell at me! 02:41, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) You can find your total number of contributions here: and you can find the appropriate service award by going here: - your current level is 3 (Journeyman Editor), which you can find the templates for here: (Journeyman). Other awards are generally added by other editors, usually to your talk page, at which point you can decide whether you want to copy them to your user page or not.

If you take a look at my user page (and hit edit) you can see my various userboxes for how I've used the stuff - but I am pretty sure you are familiar with how to do that (you may find a few other userboxes you are interested in though, such as the edit count userbox - which is used like this: {{User contrib|2111|Inka 888}} - with the "2111" being changed as your edit count increases (that's your current edit count, btw)). You have to manually update/change the service level award as your edit count increases (just as you would have to update the edit counter userbox).

Your next level will be reached when you have 4,000+ edits and one or more years of having a registered account.

Hope that helps. Best, Robert ROBERTMFROMLI /_CNTRB 03:41, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

But beware, many editors suffer from WP:EDITCOUNTITIS. It's quality that counts, not quantity. There's no race, no prize. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 09:40, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

I suffer from silly things like adding decimal places to my edit count userbox. I think it was at 2345.0587 at some point a couple weeks ago... then .05 and now .1 ;-) But Bwilkins makes the most valid point regarding edit counts that I have ever seen. Heck I take days off at a time when I've been doing late nights and am afraid I will screw up reverting. ROBERTMFROMLI /_CNTRB 15:40, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

I to make about 50 edits a day, I think most of my edits are good quality edits. --InkaCome yell at me! 21:15, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

What was this?

Other than being a fairly obvious BLP violation, unsourced death rumor, and vandalism, was there any reason why you restored this? /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 16:29, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

And you templated the IP for vandalism (even though it was only a level one warning). You need to apologise. Note that the bot tagging for section blanking is not sentient. It cannot tell why someone blanked the section. Even if an edit is tagged, you still need to read it. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 16:39, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

 Done I apologized to the IP. --InkaCome yell at me! 21:38, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Blanking is a weak spot. We may need some mentoring examples. Is Intelati ready with some exercises? Dr.K.  22:01, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

WP:BLP violations. Hmmmm... How to teach?... I'll work up another example. At User:Intelati/test/2--Talktome 22:25, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

(edit conflict) In addition the granting of rollback was conditional on being rescinded after five bad reverts. With this being a bad revert there are four more chances remaining. Unfortunately it does sound like a bad video game but the rollback-granting terms have to be upheld. Dr.K.  22:19, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

I have added somewhat of a "counter" of Inka's remaining chances above at User talk:Inka_888#Rollback Restriction. Hopefully, this will be a visible reminder for him as well. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 10:50, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

That does not need to be there, it is not a restriction. It's called rollback not "rollbackers". --InkaCome yell at me! 17:25, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Then you can "police" yourself, I take it. People will be keeping count though. Oh and when I hover your name, it says "rollbacker", but that is semantics. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 00:09, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages

Hi. What is wikipedia?

If your being serious, read Misplaced Pages --InkaCome yell at me! 22:52, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Good reply. And if the IP is not serious they should also read WP:BLOCK if they continue on their current path. Dr.K.  22:57, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User Inka 888/5,000 edits

Thank you for experimenting with Misplaced Pages. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

User Inka 888/5,000 edits

I am wondering what you were trying to do here. If you were trying to make a userbox for an edit count, that has already been done for you. You can add the following userbox code to you page and keep an active edit count. {{user contrib|2259|Inka 888}} The "2259" is your current edit count. I normally go in hundreds, some go in thousands, so you don't have to update it daily or hourly, but that is up to you. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 05:06, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I think Inka 888 was simply playing with templates and tried creating it in his userspace (and forgot the colon). It's located here now: User:Inka_888/5,000_edits. Simple accident it seems. ROBERTMFROMLI /_CNTRB 05:31, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

See WP:Multiple Accounts on the instrutions for multiple accounts.--Talktome 22:40, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

If I already have a very strong password on this account, would it really matter? --InkaCome yell at me! 22:43, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Probably not, especially if you create yourself a WP:HASHKEY. That way, if someone hacks the account, you can verify that you are Inka and they are not. Admins tend to have second accounts for cybercafes, hotel internets and iPhones, so there's no risk of someone hacking the account with the tools. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:53, 10 October 2010 (UTC) That's Template:User committed identity.

Speedy deletion declined: Fermentelos

Hello Inka 888. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Fermentelos, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There is sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz /_Stalk 02:21, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

this is all it said in the article when I saw it. I noticed the user added a bit to it after I tagged it. I said A1 because there was nothing to back up what s/he said. If you look at "He is a funny man with a red car. He makes people laugh" that is the example of A1 at WP:SD; how is what that user wrote different? Inka888Talk 02:28, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

It's a super-stub, but it does identify the subject ("Fermentelos is a town in Portugal.") If you don't think the town is notable, I guess you can try PROD or an AfD. I'm not even sure whether we have notability guidelines for cities and towns. — Malik Shabazz /_Stalk 02:36, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

(Came across this from TigreTiger's talkpage) I've been on NPP tonight; even if there's no actual policy violation here, it's making our job tremendously difficult. It's flooding Special:NewPages, and making it very hard to properly patrol everything. As far as I know, towns and cities are inherently notable, but if you ask me, mass creating sub-stubs like this (I've seen it a few times before, from far more experienced users) borders on disruptive.

I apologize for moving the discussion. If you were looking for information about a place, and you looked it up on Misplaced Pages would you like to read and article with five words in it (three of them being articles}? I looked at WP:SD, and there was an example of A1 which was "He is a funny man with a red car. He makes people laugh." How is that any different than "Fermentelos is a town in Portugal."? Inka888Talk 19:57, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

It's a little different. The information provided is factual (or presumed to be so - which is easily verifiable with a simple web search) and explains one of the most important parameters of a city (where it is). That makes it a valid stub. Your example, OTOH, is POV (first part) and hard to verify (second part). Totally different scenarios.

Your job as an editor is to edit - and knowing that towns are inherently notable, would it have killed you to add a half of a sentence? (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 20:16, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

I not that different. In the future I'll tag articles for expansion if they are really small. Inka888Talk 21:52, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

• WP:DEFACTO: 99.9% of all articles about populated cities/towns/etc., fully professional athletes, and species are kept, stub or not. I strongly advise you to withdraw your AfD nomination and be much more judicious in your CSD work. "Too short" is not a valid rationale when the article establishes the subject and context. Considering that you are still being mentored, I hope that you will read, re-read, and re-read a second time, the relevant policy. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 05:03, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

• Oh, and just tagging an article is unhelpful. Either you expand it yourself, or you move on. Don't create more backlogs and work for others. Sources are not hard to find. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 05:04, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Valued Pictures

Nope, No valued pictures here, just the {{Pic of the day}} template. :)--TalkToMe_c 03:06, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

How are they selected? Inka888Talk 03:08, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

First read this, then they are selected though peer review, grueling actually. I've seen pictures better than some Time magazine covers fail this. :)--TalkToMe_c 03:11, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I was talking about Valued pictures not featured pictures. Inka888Talk 03:15, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Ok then this and this.TalkToMe_c 03:17, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Tomorrows topic CSD, and XfD

I can see we will need a crash course in CSD tomorrow.--TalkToMe_c 05:05, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

If you want, I'll help you out too; I've been at this for several months, and I pretty much know what I'm doing. NPP is my specialty, and there aren't many people doing it, so we'd love for someone else to step in and lighten the workload a bit.

If your here at around 15-20 wikipedia time chime in whenever you like. :)--TalkToMe_c 05:21, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I should be around for a couple of those hours at least. In fairness to Inka888 on this, the situation tonight was a bit strange; I wouldn't expect anyone even relatively new to NPP to have been able to figure out what to do. I guess you'll hear from me then. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 05:25, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

I'll probably be on until about 8-9 UTC. Access Denied  05:28, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Deletions

First, anything about city's, counties, or any government designated entity are immune from any deletion. See here for a more through explanation. A little short on time today, more will follow shortly.--TalkToMe_c 21:39, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Even if the article says some thing like this for example:

"Pleasantville is a town in bullshit county tons of people go to have sex and kill each other every 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999...........................00000000000000000088888888888 milliseconds..................blablablablablablabalblabla.......................I really hate the town.

Inka888Talk 03:22, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Then you would replace it with something like "X is a town in X country" and give the creator a {{subst:uw-create3}} warning. (I start with level 3 for created pages like that) Access Denied  03:51, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

That's almost word for word what I was going to say before we edit conflicted... get out of my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 03:52, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

But of course, if you come across something that's obviously fake (e.g. Liechtenslavia is a town of 100 million people in Kyrgyzstan), that would be G3. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 03:54, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion: Lesson #1

Ok, I'm going to start with the simplest: G1, G3, and G10.

G1

Patent nonsense. There are 2 types:

1. Random banging on the keyboard like this:

r67tbg9wn4 tg2wn9596g5t8959ntwv5m098b3w5t lololol n5 tr 8tojjhai der

2. Random words that make no sense together. like this:

Salas eat monkey poo that banana have lol Mario hi there bobjoe how is my puppy

G3

Pure vandalism like these:

I suck cocks. I suck cocks. I suck cocks. I suck cocks. I suck cocks. I suck cocks. I suck cocks. I suck cocks. I suck cocks. I suck cocks. I suck cocks. 

or blatant hoaxes:

I live inside mount everest and kill people on who like pie.

G10

Attack pages Admins watch the "attack pages" category and will often delete them in seconds. Examples:

johnny is a gay faggot

Or this:

sammy the stupid was born in 37857887275 B.C. and then went through three sex changes and then raped himself and died. The end.

That's all for lesson 1.

Your assignment

Go to User:Access Denied/CSD Examples and list all the G1's, G3's, and G10's in the space below. Access Denied  22:12, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

G1's

• Example 16
• Example 13

13: Correct. 16: Yes but also a G10 and G10 takes precedence.

I don't see how G10 takes place there. Inka888Talk 22:30, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

You could tag that with db-multiple if you wanted, but you don't have to worry about that now. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 01:02, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

G3's

• Example 15
• Example 9

Both correct. Example 2 is also a G3 as a blatant hoax. Access Denied  22:25, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

G10's

• Example 8

Yes, but there are more. I'll get to that later. Access Denied  22:28, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

That's what I found so far. Inka888Talk 22:23, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Note that we don't need to go over G8 I use G8 a lot and it's pretty self explanatory. Inka888Talk 22:29, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I wasn't planning om it anyway. Access Denied  22:31, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

WSPA project page

I'm not sure why you've done what you have with the WSPA page. It'd be great if you would join the project so you could do a lot of productive stuff. I blanked a page that because it was redundant. If I knew how to delete it, I would have just done that. This page replaces it Misplaced Pages:WSPA/Get started. --RichardMcCoy (talk) 02:03, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

I struck through the warning because it appears that it was not vandalism. If you could use an edit summary when you make large edits, I would much appreciate it. Best, Inka888Talk 02:09, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Re:hmm...

Account creation Process

Sometimes when a IP range is blocked, some people may be unable to create accounts. So, a person sends out an email to the account creation people and they decide if creating the account is proper. I have created 5 accounts. To create accounts, you have to ... See what Fetchcomms wrote.--TalkToMe_c 02:52, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Actually, it's more like people who can't read the captcha, not just rangeblocked IPs. More of those requests go to the unblock-l mailing list, but some go to through ACC (and that's why we have CUs there). /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 22:13, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Doesn't one need account creater rights to create accounts? Inka888Talk 00:28, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

No, the account creater rights are almost exclusively for people who create the daily limit of 6 accounts regularly.--TalkToMe_c 00:34, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

How do people create accounts for other people? Inka888Talk 00:35, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

"See WP:ACC and WP:ACCGUIDE for the internal details."-Fetchcomms --TalkToMe_c 00:39, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

So I would apply to be involved in the account creation process and then I would be able to create accounts for other users..? Inka888Talk 01:02, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, but in the wise words of Fetchcomms "However, if you are thinking of joining, I would wait..." thanks--TalkToMe_c 01:26, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I'll wait 2-4 weeks before thinking of joining. Inka888Talk 22:01, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I rather think Fetchcomms had 6-8 months in mind. Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:11, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, it's not really up to fetchcomms. I decided to take his advice and wait a while. I'm not going to wait half a year. Inka888Talk 22:18, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Inka, don't take this the wrong way, but the project needs people who create content more than it needs people who fiddle about in the plumbing (we have rather a lot of those). If you're bored click here, and see if you can improve what you see. Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:43, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm not going to "fiddle with the plumbing". I don't make mistakes like I used to. Please provide a time when I was "fiddling around with the plumbing" in the last week. Inka888Talk 22:50, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I think what Elen is trying to say, the purpose of the ecyclopedia is to expand, not to stay stagnate.--TalkToMe_c 22:52, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

(edit conflict):::(talk page stalker) Elen is not referring to any past mistakes you may have made or even mistakes in general. All she is saying is that right now content contributors are more needed than maintainence and technical editors such as vandal fighters, which there are a lot of.

Yeah, sorry Inka. When I said 'fiddling with the plumbing' I was thinking of Scottie in Star Trek, not making mistakes. Sorry for not being clear about that. Elen of the Roads (talk) 00:18, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

I understood that. It came across that you thought I was not serious about the project. If that's not what you meant at all, I appoligize for going on about it. Inka888Talk 04:01, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

IMDB

yes, and No. IMDB can be used as a external link, but normally it is not acceptable for a normal source.--TalkToMe_c 20:30, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

here are some discussions about that: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 --TalkToMe_c 20:34, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Popups

If you have "Navigation popups, article previews and editing functions popup when hovering over links" enabled, and are on your watchlist, you can hover over the "diff" button. the Popup will, pop up and there is an "action" button. You can then hit "Revert" and it will use the undo function with out stopping for you to type in your rational. Basically faster than undo, but slower than plain rollback.--TalkToMe_c 00:06, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

So I hover over an edit and hit undo? Inka888Talk 00:07, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

To left of the link that says Undo, is a link that says revert. that one. --TalkToMe_c 00:09, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Careful!

Hi Inka, I see you've tagged Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Geomium with {{db-talk}}. I've declined it - see the edit summary for why. The page even had a "review pending" tag on it. Please be careful and ask if you aren't sure. Thanks, Airplaneman ✈ 02:04, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Then why would they start the project with a talk page instead of putting it on the project page? Also part of G8 is a talk page of a nonexistent main page....right? Inka888Talk 03:56, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure if G8 applies to talk pages for wikipedia projects. Inka888Talk 19:00, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
