Universal Triple Crown

I've just discovered a set of 20 images is now featured here, on Commons, and, unexpectedly, on Farsi Misplaced Pages. Can I request a Universal Triple Crown? And should I check for others first, and get the full list for you? Adam Cuerden 20:28, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

OMG Adam. 20?! Okay, get the list and I'll make the rest :) → Call me Hahc21 20:29, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Wow! Nice work Adam! Kaldari (talk) 22:56, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

And, of course, Kaldari, you get one for the first item on the list. Adam Cuerden 22:59, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Okay, let's start. I'll put sets together. Not in chronological order.

I apologize in advance for any errors. Persian is particularly hard to copy paste when there's both LTR and RTL text. Adam Cuerden 22:31, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Universal Triple Crown (2)

Hate to be a pain, but any idea when this will be done? Only poking because it went way up your talk page now. =) Adam Cuerden 13:58, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

It'll take a while, so I will be doing it bit by bit. I won't remove the section off my talk page until it's all done :) → Call me Hahc21 16:40, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Oh, no worries! Just I know that talk page messages can go up the page and be lost. Adam Cuerden 16:46, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

@Adam Cuerden: I see the table every day. Why do you have so many! Makes my work almost never-ending :( → Call me Hahc21 04:17, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Heh. I'm afraid that was me adding another. (I don't know how to make a smiley that looks suitably sheepish) Adam Cuerden 04:20, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Questions

So I turned on Twinkle and already I feel like it'll make changes that will greatly impact everything I will do when I use it. So while I figure out what to do, I'm wondering if there's a way for me to figure out how to log-in my previous CSDs. Do you know? GamerPro64 02:26, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

• (talk page stalker) Just make sure to have CSD and PROD logging turned on. Having Twinkle isn't that radical, it just adds some options that you can ignore if you want. I don't use most of them. The tagging and template features are ok, but I still add a personal note to them most of the time, or don't use TW at all and just use a personal note only. In my log User:Dennis Brown/CSD log and PROD log, I tend to go through and explain the blue links from time to time, for my own sanity. Dennis 2¢ 02:34, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
  • But its the most beautiful thing, Dennis. I have the ability to warn myself that I'm vandalizing. But to be serious, I haven't used it yet but I already like Twinkle. Even if the mascot looks like a melted M. Bison. GamerPro64 02:44, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
    • @GamerPro64: Twinkle can't find your previous CSD nominations, but I can. It'll take some time, given how busy I am, but I'll happily do it for you. → Call me Hahc21 02:54, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
      • All right cool. Thanks. GamerPro64 03:02, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

McKinsey & Company

Hi Hahc21. I've been working on getting this article GAN-ready, culling through it top-down; I've been correcting citations and whatnot myself, but leaving anything more significant on Talk (I have a COI). Crisco's been helping me, but it's a huge, complex article and he's gotten busy with other stuff. I was wondering if you had a bit of time to work with it on me following COI best practices. We're getting pretty close to GAN-ready, but it still needs a new Lede and has some POV/weight issues, etc. There's some content Crisco's removed a couple of times that My2011 keeps re-instating and we started a discussion, but he hasn't been online much for quite some time.

BTW - you're on arbitration now? Or were you always? CorporateM (Talk) 01:00, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

I might be able to take a look later. I still have those big tables you see here waiting for me to process them. I guess I took a vacation longer than necessary heh. And yes, I've been part of ArbCom (as a clerk) since January 2013. → Call me Hahc21 01:05, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Cool, no rush. I just have a couple things at the bottom of Talk right now, but whenever you have time, I'll keep culling through it and posting anything controversial on Talk. CorporateM (Talk) 01:23, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

The 1989 World Tour

I asked you about your protection of The 1989 World Tour on the ArbCom election questions page, but so far you haven't answered (you are of course not obliged to answer any questions there). However, as this involves a possible misuse of admin tools that may need reversion, I bring it here. As far as I can tell, you fully move protected the page The 1989 World Tour for "move warring", even though it seems that you were the only one to haev ever moved that page (over an older version of the page that you previously deleted, and which you should have history merged).

Can you please explain this apparently incorrect move-protection, and (assuming no good explanation exists) undo it? Fram (talk) 15:06, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

There has been, for the past months, a group of users move-warring all the tour articles from Taylor Swift. I took the precautionary measure to move-protect the article to avoid it being moved back and forth. It is a temporary protection that I am keeping track of, and which I will remove in due course. I don't consider it to be a misuse of admin tools whatsoever (I am actually surprised that you would consider it so). Also, I didn't histmerge them because one was an almost exact copy of the other. → Call me Hahc21 16:30, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

The Red Tour (and the redirect Red Tour) are not move protected (protection expired in May). It was moved twice in 2013 by one single user. You moved it back in April of this year. Speak Now World Tour is not and has never been protected and has never been moved. Fearless Tour is not and has never been protected or moved. So, your "There has been, for the past months, a group of users move-warring all the tour articles from Taylor Swift." seems to be completely wrong. Of the four tour articles, one had been moved twice in 2013... So yes, it is a misuse of admin tools (even ignoring the fact that you had content-edited the Red Tour before your move-plus-protection, making you involved in that case). As for the histmerge: if two articles are an almost exact copy, then acknowledging the one that was first is the right thing to do. Now, you have removed all trace of the original creator of the article from the history. Fram (talk) 07:43, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

So, do you really think that someone who makes up excuses to defend his admin actions, and when caught red-handed then silently undoes his action without acknowledging his mistake or otherwise indicating what make him change his mind, would be a good ArbCom member? How are you supposed to judge e.g. administrators and decide whether they should be desysopped, admonished, or otherwise judged, if you can't even honestly defend your own actions or admit your own mistakes? The honourable thing would be to withdraw your ArbCom candidature, try another year (or two) of being an admin (and editor), and perhaps then reconsider running for ArbCom.
