VfDs and Sockpuppets

Hi Enochlau,

I just came across Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Bestsiteever.xoaonline.com while closing its second nomination, just like to tell you to do keep an eye out for sockpuppet voting.

Tell-tale signs include improper signing, votes other than the usual keep or delete (such as don't delete, or stay), and unformatted comments. Most of the time, fellow editors would be quick enough to point them out for you on VfD. Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Bestsiteever.xoaonline.com (2nd nomination) is a good example.

By the way, Happy New Year!

A lacky?

It's really a bad moment to learn that Novacatz was named a lackey simply because she/he's having a similar position as I do. You may want to check my edit history, as well as those of Huaiwei, Alanmak and SchmuckyTheCat, and see if there's anything interesting and worthwhile to be included to the comment request. Thanks again for bringing up the case. — Instantnood 18:16, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

"In order to remain listed at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment, at least two people need to show that they tried to resolve a dispute with this user and have failed. This must involve the same dispute with a single user, not different disputes or multiple users." If instantnood sees a need to "add to the case" as mentioned above, I would think it wise for him to do it on his own accord instead of riding on your case, since the RFC was clearly on a specific dispute in one article. Or does he have no guts to do it solo, and prefer to redefine and abuse wikipolicies for his wants and needs?--Huaiwei 09:56, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

My friend, I believe you have read that wrong. The dispute will remain with a single user, being you, Huaiwei. enochlau (talk) 04:24, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Francs2000 RfB

Could you please explain your answer towards your oppose vote here at Francs2000's RFB. For one you said, we need more bureaucrats, which I believe is a typo because you wouldn't vote oppose if we need more bureaucrats, which we do. And two, how does there not being enough bureaucrats disqualify Francs2000? SWD316 05:16, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I misinterpreted what you said. On the RfB you said:

This is nothing personal; it's just that I'm not convinced we need more.

Anyways, I still don't see how it disqualifies him from being a bureaucrat based on the opinion that "we need no more". SWD316 05:30, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Re MediaWiki:minoredit

• • Since there seems to be some interest in having some kind of link to the minor edit guidelines somewhere, just not whole words, perhaps we should start a poll? enochlau (talk) 04:55, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Polls don't get noticed unless they're on a heated enough topic. Being bold gets noticed. I'd rather selecting an option and going for it. Do you have an opinion, Enoch? jnothman 05:23, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

HC justices

hey enoch, just found that heydon is from SCEGS (i.e. Shore) (Collin would be proud). see link: clickie that leaves one, crennan, but she's defintly not from grammar and probably not from fort street (attended uni melb). so that's our final count - 4-7. who the hell was it that came up with the "one less" story? --Sumple 10:07, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Closing deletions

Careful! You forgot to check for redirects when you deleted Bodybalance (exercise program) in response to AFD. You should have cleared off Bodybalance too... jnothman 15:07, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

if I can ask a favor....

I was wondering if I could ask a favor of you. (You're an admin who appears to be online right now, which is why I came here). I want to start using WP:AWB to do bad link repair, which I've been doing manualy for the last few months. User:Bluemoose has just taken a wikibreak, so he can't authorize me to use the AWB on authorized user's page. If you check my contributions, you'll see I have 3100+ edits, and have done a lot of bad link repair, so I can be trusted not to screw anything up. (which was Bluemoose's main criteria for approval). If you wouldn't mine adding me, I would greatly apreciate it.

thanks in advance --Bachrach44 00:49, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

your recent deletion

You deleted the Yasmine Bleeth Photo Gallery without any warning whatsoever. I'm relatively new with wikipedia, but believe me, I don't have the time or energy to waste on wikipedia if my work is going to be "speedily" deleted without any warning or chance to edit it in order to prevent deletion.

Monitor test

Have you tried tweaking the brightness in the MS Windows monitor settings? On Win XP on this Compaq, I can set the brightness (in rather coarse steps), so that both halves of the circle are visible, and even rather bright. Then, of course, any normal image will be severely washed out. Try looking for that brightness setting on your laptop, and please tell me if you succeed in getting the right half circle to show, while the left half is invisible. Then you should have a proper setting for showing shadow detail. Good luck! --Janke | Talk 19:36, 8 January 2006 (UTC) PS: Re putting a test image on the FPC page - if the text is worded correctly, it won't discourage voting, only alert viewers to the fact that monitors do differ, and an image that looks overly dark may in fact be good on a properly adjusted monitor. This is the usual problem - hardly ever the other way around. --Janke | Talk 19:44, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for your constructive comments on my request for bureaucratship.

Avoid self references

Sorry, I don't understand your comment to avoid self-references , when you removed the links from Ad hominem to the Misplaced Pages policy page on No personal attacks. There are other examples of Wiki articles describing a topic, and proividing a link to Wiki policy on the subject. I don't see how that is a self-reference? --Iantresman 16:54, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: Char siu

I suppose it's defaulted to be stayed when the community has not agreed with the move. It'd better be restored to its previous title for the time being. — Instantnood 22:18, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
