This template is not in use in articles, but it appears above the edit box for certain edits. It has been vandalized from time to time, and these vandalisms may not be very conspicuous. (How many people have bothered to watchlist editintros). Would you object to six months of semiprotection? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 23:22, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Ah, I see. A stupid mistake on my behalf. Looks like Lifebaka protected it; fine by me. Rami R 16:34, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Protection on Alexander Povetkin article

Hey Rami.

First of all. Thank you very much that you have semi-protected the article. It was about time. By I can see you have only protected it till the 13 December. Cant you make that for a year or 6 mothns. dont think two weeks gonna help:( The problem will pop up again, I think. :( . — Preceding unsigned comment added by David-golota (talk • contribs) 18:58, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

A year is excessive for an article which wasn't protected before. I'll watch the article though, and re-protect should it appear necessary. Rami R

Your RFPP clerking script

Hi Rami R; there is a discussion here about your RFPP clerking script, which seems to ignore the "n" parameter in {{RFPP}} when moving or archiving requests, which can be a slight issue because that only denotes that an administrator left a note on the request. Please comment in that discussion when you get a chance, and thank you for creating this (mostly ;) ) wonderful script! :) Logan _Talk 16:17, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

It appears that {{RFPP|ch}}, {{RFPP|q}} and {{RFPP|n}} should not trigger archiving. While the script could be modified to exclude those cases, I wonder if it could be better to modify Template:RFPP by removing those options. We could ask the admins to use {{AIV|n}} and so forth. If the majority of all archiving is done using your script, and if people always load it through a link to your version, maybe changing your script is workable. Of course the most elegant (but tedious) approach would be a lookup table that says for each tag whether it triggers archiving. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 03:52, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Per your suggestion, a lookup table has been implemented. rfppClerk will no longer archive requests responded with ch, q or n (or their longer versions). Rami R 16:52, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Your code update must be this change. In a quick review it looks like it should do the job perfectly. Now all you need is a helpful understudy who will write a test suite! Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 16:35, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

No doubt recommendable in a professional workplace, but I think that for wikipedia, the admins will need to test it themselves on the go :) Rami R 07:11, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Alexander Povetkin article

Look at the article. User3856 keeps undoing peoples work. He even delted the semi-protection from the article. Please cant you do something with him. He has been blocked two times now, but he dont seems to care at all. Yu said you would keep an eye on the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by David-golota (talk • contribs) 18:28, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Apologies for not getting to this earlier. I see User3856 has been blocked again, which I hope will suffice for now. If he doesn't learn from this block, the next one may be indef. I'll continue to watch the article. (As a side note though, be careful before accusing an editor of vandalism; it's not the same as disruptive editing.) Rami R 07:08, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Block user David-golota

He is repeatedly reverting correct edits, making poor, untidy edits himself, and generally being disruptive. His English is also terrible.

When my account is unblocked I will be correctly editing the Alexander Povetkin article once more, fully referenced & sourced. David-golota will now doubt repeatedly try to vandalize the page again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.99.236.96 (talk) 20:57, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

2006 Hezbollah cross-border raid

Hi, I would like to draw your attention also to recent edits of Battle of Ayta ash-Shab article (original state: ), and Battle of Maroun al-Ras article (original state ). Flayer (talk) 14:36, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Good idea. I welcome any serious feedback on my improvements on the articles. Please consult Talk:Battle_of_Ayta_ash-Shab before you react on the suggestions of this shady character calling himself "Flayer".
