User talk:AmiDaniel/Archive13Vandal Proof statsI'm not sure whether I should be posting this here or at VP/Bugs. Anyway, my problem is that my VP stats are no longer updating properly. It only worked once and my Log and Stats are stuck on 5. Apparently I've only made 5 reverts. I've actually made 50 and it even says so in F:\Users\Toby\VandalProof\MyCount.txt and it has 50 entries in F:\Users\Toby\VandalProof\VandalismLog.txt I've tried re-updating many times but it just won't edit my Stats page or Log page. Any suggestions? Tobes (talk) 10:02, 2 July 2006 (UTC) I just looked at the FAQ and it said to turn off 'Enhanced Recent Changes'. Ehanced Recent Changes has always been off so it certainly isn't that. Tobes (talk) 13:17, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Furry fandom vandalism becoming worseI contacted you previously about vandalism on the Furry fandom article. I'm sorry to say that the article is still being vandalised. What is more, other similar articles such as Therianthropy and Otherkin are being acted by the same person/people. I know you have put up a anti-vandalism bot to protect the site, but it is not working as effectivly as it could. Is there anything else you can do? ISD 15:00, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
A barnstar for you! Hi Daniel! I just wanted to let you know that your work here is greatly appreciated. While I have never used VandalProof (I'll get around to checking it out soon), I've heard great things, and it is certainly an amazing tool that helps the encyclopedia. On that note, it is my honor to award you this barnstar. The da Vinci Barnstar (named of course after the inventor, etc., Leonardo da Vinci) is awarded to those who have enhanced Wikipedia through their technical work, especially exceptional work in programming and bot building. Feel free to copy/move this barnstar to your user page to show it off (you deserve it). Congratulations! EWS23 (Leave me a message!) 20:38, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Vandal ProofVandalProof seems to be malfunctioning for me. It lets me log in, update, and view eidts.

WHYWhy cant you just admit I was right, and move the page to Anaheim Hills, California. I proved my point, and I dont appreciate you not taking responsibility in admiting you were wrong. I will pursue it with higher figures than you, so that your admin abuse and deception will end. I will continue to promote the move to Anaheim Hills, and if you wont move it for me, I have no choice but to copy and paste. --69.232.62.33 04:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
NamingThe naming convention for this page should be Anaheim Hills, California. Anaheim Hills, California is the most commonly referenced name for the area. I was reading through the naming conventions, and have found no justifications for the statements about the community, city, state convention that had to be used. The only rule that I found was that the name had to be precise, and the most common form of the name. Following the "black and white" rules of WIkipedia, the most commonly used name, and the most precise name is Anaheim Hills, California. Using Anaheim Hills, Anaheim, California is not the most common or the most precise name for the article, breaking the main naming rules of Wikipedia. As I said, the statements above about the community, city, state convention has no evidence to back it up, and is the assumed desire of particular users, and in no way the typical naming convention. Some users do not want to accept the fact that they were wrong, and have taken their actions regarding the naming convention too far. I think it is time that we put this silly issue behind us, and just move it to Anaheim Hills, California where it belongs. That is what the Wikipedia rules state, and that is where the page needs to rest. The Wikipedia rules, like keeping the name precise and at a commonly used level has worked very well...if the rules havent been manipulated by the users and admins who insist that it MUST remain at Anaheim Hills, Anaheim, California. Just move it to Anaheim Hills, California, follow the Wikipedia Guidelines, admit all your wrong doings (for every user on this page has a wrong doing in one form or another) and lets just try to handle this in a civil way. --69.232.62.33 08:30, 7 July 2006 (UTC) German VPHi, I saw that you're planning to develop a german version of VandalProof.

Anaheim Hills, Anaheim, CaliforniaHow can you honestly say that you are not taking sides on the issue. You have gone out of your way to protect the Anaheim Hills, California page, and have protected this version from moving. Just admit that you are on the opposing side of the arguement. And why are you not stating your side, because you do seem to clearly have one? Can you at least give me a reason? --OC31113 07:45, 8 July 2006 (UTC) Removing links to deleted articlesPlease only remove links to deleted articles if the topic is non-notable and should never have an article on it.

Canadian provincial (non-geo) typesThere has been a proposal on SFD since June 9, 2006 for the deletion of stubs for three Canadian provinces and the three territories. It has now lingered without being closed, one way or another, for over a month now. Since their nomination, I've put a lot of effort into populating these stub categories, and decided to finish things off by nominating the creation of stubs for the three remaining provinces. However, I don't want to do any further work on any of this if the proposal at SFD succeeds. I just want to know if I'm wasting my time or not. Could you review the discussion and close it?

Treebark (talk) 23:01, 17 July 2006 (UTC) Suggestionhi AmiDaniel, I was reading a bit of the proposal to disallow anonymous IP edits, and I had an idea I wonder why I don't hear much about: using visual / audio confirmation on edits from anon's; that is, making a person read a word from a graphic and type that word in, to complete the editing process (only if they're not logged in, of course). Wouldn't that accomplish some of counter-vandalism aims? (And if you made sure the words were all 15 letters long, you'd have a strong inducement for ppl to register... lol). Anyways, just hadn't seen it suggested, but maybe I didnt' read long enough. BTW, I stole two boxes from your user page, the first two I've ever put on mine.

I agree that those are real problems for the community and appreciate the efforts of those like you who are fighting the problem. Regarding your removal of my addition of links for AIDSvideos.org to the HIV and AIDS pages, after my inquiry, you wrote: > Please stop adding commercial links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and > Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. Apparently, you considered the link to AIDSvideos.org to be a "commercial link." I don't understand why you are describing the link in that way. AIDSvideos.org is not a commercial web site. It is not associated with any profit-making entity. It sells nothing and does no advertising. It is a not-for-profit web site. It has no revenues whatsoever. Here is our mission statement: http://www.aidsvideos.org/mission.html It is similar in that way to all of these existing links on that page, none of which you have removed as commercial: AIDS Educator, Elton John AIDS Foundation, Elton John AIDS Foundation, Elton John AIDS Foundation, San Francisco AIDS Foundation. (Note that some of the links on that are in fact to online magazines that in fact have advertising and appear to be for profit, so if anything they are MORE commercial than AIDSvideos.org.) Please explain why you believe the link to AIDSvideos.org to be a "commercial link." If after reading this you no longer believe that to be the case, I would appreciate it if you would either document any other objections you may have to the link or restore the link. Note that I have not reverted your change and started a revert war. Instead, I have chosen to communicate with you directly. Thanks, Eric We need sources hereSanhedrin webpage (Criticism) section. We are discussing this point. However, the goal of an Encyclopedia must be to provide sourced facts, not personal opinion. There is no problem with criticizing, I have added my own criticisms of this subject. I would have no problem if Daniel575 could indeed provide sources for his strong comments and present them objectively, then it would be more fitting the goals of wikipedia.

First of all, please refrain from making personal attacks and acting incivilly. There is no need to get so worked up, and generally individuals who use such a tone in their posts will usually be entirely ignored by me. However, I did review the deleted history of the article, and whilst the version I deleted read "Andrew is a 15 year old teenager who likes cadets, and dominatrix. Andrew is also a level 72 Elf warrior on world of warcraft," its revisions three days earlier were of a respectable disambiguation page. Thus, the article had been vandalized and no one noticed for three days, which is when I discovered and deleted it. I have now restored it and reverted to the last revision by User:No1lakersfan. Understand that mistakes do happen when dealing with the sheer volume of situations that I and my fellow administrators deal with on a daily basis, and your inability to act in a civil and decent manner is not making things any easier.

A barnstar for you!
Sanhedrin pageHere is the guideline I was following for reversing Daniel575's edits. 3RR Rules: Reverting potentially libellous material. All users are encouraged to remove unsourced or poorly sourced derogatory information about living persons, whether within a biography of a living person or elsewhere, including the associated talk pages. As with vandalism, the repeated addition of such material is best dealt with by blocking and page protection. The three-revert rule does not apply to users making a good-faith effort to enforce this provision, whether they are involved in editing the articles themselves or not. I have started a proposed compromise on the Talk page of Sanhedrin Please do not unprotect the page until we have worked out a common wording in a professional manner. Thank you Historian2 07:22, 30 July 2006 (UTC) There is a general consensus to move the "new sanhedrin" information from the "Sanhedrin" wiki page to its own page. This was already done in the Hebrew version of Wiki and also the Temple Institute material. I have copied the current section to a new page called Nascent Sanhedrin but I don't know what to do next. Please advise. --Historian2 08:35, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Deleting edit historiesRegarding Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Serious_threats_against_me, please don't casually delete edit histories, even upon request. It should not be done lightly (if at all). Also, if it was a serious threat, I'm not sure you realize it but by doing that delete you permanently erased the data needed to do a checkuser. The edit is no longer usable for law enforcement purposes to track down a real threat. The edit was at best, as Kelly put it, mild libel. Please excercise your judgement in this regard better, it sets poor precedent and limits our options when it comes down to tracking real criminals. Regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 05:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Hrm, yes. Perhaps I should get myself a non-admin account for testing out new tools =D. The main page goof was one when I was using a tool by Michael Billington that had some very strange bugs. This latest one today was where I was working on some quick welcoming dealios. It was having some odd problems, that I thought were simply IE memory problems, whereby the template was being written to the wrong tab index. I wasn't thinking much about the problem, and then when I later hit edit on MediaWiki:Watchdetails to see why the spacing was so screwy, well, it recognized it as an edit page, and it happened to be a tab where the welcome template was erroneously being written, so it then proceeded to post the welcome template smack dab at the top of everybody's watchlist =D. So far I've only made two major screwups like that though, and hopefully this one today will be the last *crosses fingers*. Though you likely don't care, I know where the problem is: ReDim Preserve sPostTop(WbMain.UBOUND + 1)
sPostTop(WbMain.UBOUND + 1) = "{{subst:welcomeg}}"
ReDim Preserve sCurSummary(WbMain.UBOUND + 1)
sCurSummary(WbMain.UBOUND + 1) = "Welcoming user"

(YourCousin)--86.29.114.38 12:49, 4 August 2006 (UTC) UndeletionAn article on my website was deleted a while back. I had nothing to do with it, nor was it put in with my blessing. However, out of curiosity, I would like to know what it looked like ere it was tossed out. Is there some way to put a copy of it up somewhere where I can grab it to transfer out? I won't try to give the article any place in the wiki, unless I earn it justly. The name of the article was "Cridiron"; don't know how far back Wikipedia caches stuff, so I'm not certain it's even recoverable. Just asking doesn't hurt, though. After all, I am supposed to be bold ;-) -Adunaic layman 06:01, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Question about IP blockingHi, I've been reading the Wikipedia pages to see how I am supposed to report a user who has repeatedly ignored warnings on his talk page. The user in question is under the IP address 67.151.178.146 and many of us have repeatedly warned him for vandalism and also for changing text from American English to British English. We have given him two last warnings already, and I think it's time that the admins should "punish" him. I was wondering if you could direct me to where I'm supposed to report this kind of abuse, or if you could personally take care of it (if you do, please also give me a link to where I can report this kind of abuse, so I'll know in the future). P.S. I've been talking to him about it, but it seems he can't comprehend what I'm telling him, and he keeps thinking that his edits aren't vandalism. Thanks! --Nishkid64 22:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

User System AdministratorNothing on that template says that they are a system administrator on another system. That template should only be used by Wikipedia system administrators, and to do otherwise is being an imposter (imposture?) User:Zoe|(talk) 23:33, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Request your attention to the GoldToeMarionette caseGoldToeMarionette (talk · contribs) had a WP:RFCU inappropriately completed on their account by Jayjg (talk · contribs) and Hall Monitor (talk · contribs) blocked the account after it was identified as a multiple account despite their being no violation of Wikipedia policy by GoldToeMarionette. These users did not respond to requests to undo the action. Other steps in dispute resolution have been tried
GoldToeMarionette notified article contributors that illustrative examples were subject to an AfD. The account strictly followed the WP:SPAM#Internal_spamming guideline. The AfD was without controversy. GoldToeMarionette did not participate in the vote. HereToCleanup removed the posts following the AfD in accord with the widely accepted Wikipedia Guideline Wikipedia:Spam#Internal_spamming that states "Clean up your mess. For example, after engaging in cross-posting to promote some election, be sure to remove those cross-posts after the election is complete." [14]
Since GoldToeMarionette was strictly following Wikipedia Policy, there should not have been a Check User completed by Jayjg. Hall Monitor only blocked the account because it was labeled as a sockpuppet by Jayjg's completed Check User. Absent policy violation it should not have been processed in RFCU or been blocked. I am asking for your help to confirm that policy was not violated, administrative action should not have been taken, and request that the administrative action be reversed by unblocking GoldToeMarionette and unprotecting the talk page. Thank you for your time with this request. HotHotSoup 05:11, 6 August 2006 (UTC) I reverted your talk pageJust leaving you a note to explain why I reverted your talk page: the text I removed was a spurious/vexatious request from User:HotHotSoup, the latest sockpuppet of User:PoolGuy, spamming the talk pages of admins (and a few non-admins), and apparently working alphabetically. Contributions of a banned user may be reverted by anyone, but if you would still like the message to be included here, feel free to revert back. Stifle (talk) 17:40, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I just had to revert him again, so I figured I'd go to the 3rr violation page and add this new revert 19:08 to the list. But then I've seen you blocked him at 18:07. There's no mention of that on his talk page either. Anyway, I'm not too sure what to do here. Did you block him or not (or does it work only by IP so he can just change it and edit again?) and if not should I report him again? If you did so why only 12 hour? He was blocked 2 or 3 days ago on 3rr in the same article, again being stubborn and ignoring the talk page. If anything, one would think this should make his block harder, not weaker. Of course, it doesn't really look like anything short of an indefinite ban is going to make a difference for this user. Do let me know if there's something I'm missing ^_^ Jean-Philippe 19:53, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof Indetification BypassI noticed (although have not tested) that vandalproof uses its wiki website to verify whether you're allowed. Without going into detail here, it seems that modifying a the hosts file on your computer could allow somebody to circumvent such a ban.

Probable notable-editor welcome procedure?Howdy. I'm wondering what to do (delegate!) concerning newuser User:Jrosenbaum editing the Jonathan Rosenbaum article? They were good npov/cleanup edits, and he's a professional writer so (assumming it is he) it'd be really nice to have him welcomed but not overwhelmed, but I'm not familiar with all the username policies/procedures for possible notable editors. All I could find linkwise was Wikipedia:Autobiography#If Wikipedia already has an article about you, and Template:Notable Wikipedian which seems highly privacy-invasive to me (unless they place it themselves). Plus I just finished reading his book on Dead Man, and would inevitably go all fanboyish on him, or over-proslytize that he join the wikiproject:film, or something! ;-) Thanks for any help :) --Quiddity 01:16, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Since it's page creation, and not just an edit, I really wanted to check with you first to see if you had an opinion on whether you'd like to include this, and if so where it should go. I'm only talking about the menus for now; the other sections I may create as I have time. I should also add that the blank slots are functionality I'm not sure of (mostly -- I have a couple left to fill in). Let me know. Thanks!

Yesterday, he announced that he wanted to leave Wikipedia. See: [15] There was a long series of questionable uses of VandalProof and both User:Metros232 and I were about to report abuse of VandalProof when User:Bearly541 decided to leave Wikipedia. However, today, it appears he is back and is still using VandalProof. I'd appreciate your recommendation of the best way to deal with this. If there's another place where I should report the abuse or suggest that Bearly541 be removed from the list of approved VandalProof users, please direct me to the appropriate place.

Should we consider that Wikipedia would not include any multimedia document? If we don't we should understand that A/ films always have author(s), and B/ hosting complete films is expensive, complex and cumbersome, so I doubt that Wikipedia will decide to have such internal multimedia documents. Documen.tv is NOT a personal website, but an association of filmmakers who are dedicated to make their work available in VOD to a wider audience, documen.tv just gather the copyright to do so and spread the cost of putting films on the web. This initiative is not a commercial one and cost us a lot of time, work and money. The documents we bring up are often the result of collaboration between, writers, journalists, cineastes, technicians, producers and broadcasters (major ones), and in majority present a pretty balanced approach of the topic they are dealing with. I am a big believer in initiatives such as Wikipedia; I don't consider it as an advertising platform, we don't believe in "advertising" but in "contents". We don't try neither to improve our ranking on search engines by spamming links around, we already are ranking on the first page with Google if you type "documentary ali farka touré" or "documentary Bismillah Khan" or "documentary srebrenica" or "documentary japan prison" for instance. If you add "vod" to the keywords we are ranking on the first line. Please try it. I recognize that I was so convince that was a good idea to "offer" Wikipedia a direct access to animated images, that I trespassed your rules. My mistake, sorry. Note that the links I proposed were directly related to the films and not the website itself. The documents I proposed are very often exclusive or rare ones. Few of them are already cited in the articles with external links to other article about the film, never to the film itself (Ali Farka Touré: Ça coule de source / Ali Farka Touré: Springing from the Roots ) for instance on the article bugchasing the film “The Gift” is cited in three links but non offers a direct access to the film. Beside other websites such www.imdb.com (a commercial one) is in external links on a lot of Wikipedia articles. Could this matter be discussed on a wider platform before we take the decision to remove all our links? Thanks Philippe also PhilC2

I am using an antique PC which is only Pentium II, 300 Mhz with 512MB of RAM. My browser which I am using is Crazy Browser. A few months ago, when I installed this software, it completely slowed down the speed of my PC, resulting in a very slow navigation within Wikipedia. As a result of this, I had to uninstall this software. Thus, combating vandalism on Wikipedia is a very tedious process for me. Do you have any suggestios for this (besides getting a new PC!)? I really would like to deal with vandals in a much smoother and easier manner. Currently, I am doing this manually. Thank You for your kind attention! --Siva1979Talk to me 17:48, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
