That cool button that shows you're online
How do I put one of those cool buttons that shows whether I'm online or not on my user page? Kevin23 04:46, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
OK, feel free to add that to my page, or at least tell me how. Thanks, Kevin23 03:37, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Questions from Lethaniol
Hi Betacommand,
Two things -
1. At Talk:Glyphosate Ttguy suggests that User:Benjiwolf is using a sockpuppet - dont know the in and outs of it myself but thought I would leave you a message about it.
2. My adoptee User:Bluestripe has complained to me about you deleting The Strategy Paradox again [1] - this time for being non-notable. Though I can see why this book may be on the verge of notability would it be possible to have an AFD instead of the CSD, or I could suggest to my adoptee to take it to deletion review. Cheers Lethaniol 13:45, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- #1 take to WP:SSP and two please take to DRV if you disagree on the deletion. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 14:44, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- I have started a 2nd case for Benjiwolf at WP:SSP. He was Sockpuppeting while blocked and admits as much on his talk page. You blocked him before and mentioned he would get a longer block if he sockpuppeted while blocked. Can you action another block on him? His sockpuppets are leaving a wake of anoyed people where ever he edits. But he now does it all anon. Can you block 83.78.*.* and 83.79.*.* and take him out. Of cource you take out all users of his ISP. What is the defence against this sort of thing? Ttguy 14:05, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
my username
What's wrong with the username ;sdbgvjew32??? I don't think it violates any of the username policies...
- apparently random sequences of letters and/or numbers is what I blocked it for. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 00:55, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Allow me to explain: he semicolon is an (admittedly dumb) math joke... it has to do with differential geometry and covariant derivatives. sdb are my initials. gv is because I'm a fan of gianni versace. jew is because i'm jewish.
but I can see how it might appear random to someone who doesn't know the reasons behind it...
Happy Spread-the-funny and-slighty-random-love day!

Hi, did you mean this edit [2] to constitute a formal unblock decline? If so, I guess there should be some reason given. I declined earlier, and stand by that, but I think it is clear he means that category together with the comment below the first unblock request to constitute a second request, which is legitimate in principle, so I thought it would be only fair to leave the cat there until a second admin actually does a review. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- Unless he places a {{unblock}} I dont take it as a unblock request. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 17:33, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Deletions
I'm concerned about some of your recent deletions. Can you explain why you deleted Caitlin Murphy and James MacLurcan for no context? The content said they were actors, and what country they were from, and gave one significant role. Surely this is enough to identify the person in question? I realize they were too short to be proper articles, and if this is all the content we have they're better off with a one-sentence mention in the main article. But lack of context? I don't see it. Friday (talk) 15:15, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Also wondering about Spoken (band). This is no more an advert than any other band article, from what I can see. Friday (talk) 15:16, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- the one liners were poorly written one liners at best, Ryulong ended up re-writing the one liners to make more sense and the actors in question were mentioned in other articles. In regard to the band I glanced over the article and there were some phrases that stood out that read just like a advert. Spoken frequently returns to Arkansas for concerts, even though most bands overlook it. & Arkansas maintains a large Spoken fanbase are a few. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 16:16, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- PS those stood out because they were one line paragraphs.
- I see nothing poorly written in the versions [3] [4] you deleted. Maybe you're going too fast? Surely you realize that problems which can be solved by editing shouldn't be solved by deletion? Friday (talk) 22:34, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
This was archived without any reponse, in case you didn't know. Do you plan on being more careful with deletions in the future? Friday (talk) 17:18, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- True some things can be solved by editing and others by deletion. the one line pages were bare extractions from other pages that were choped out. I felt that the other pages covered the topic better. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 17:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you so much for pointing out the mailing list! I have an account now. Sometimes Wikipedia still says I am blocked but I don't know why. Anyway, thank you! Three in the morning 19:26, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Can you tell me what triggered this?
re: new cat page I was editting when it was deleted. What's the scoop? BOT? // FrankB 08:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Please see WP:CSD#C1 for why I deleted the cat. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 13:12, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- OK, I can play link games too...
- from Voice of All # Deleted in mid edit . Fifty or so for content enough for you? Using a {{Prod}} technique recommended... when is there EVER a speedy need to trim categories or templates. Mainspace, sure. Administration and support namespaces... never. Then there is that laughably ridiculous the time limit thing-- four days to a student seems a long time, to someone self-employed about to put two through college, it's an incivil frantic rush. Esp. without the courtesy of a query. Cheers! // FrankB 15:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
I was also wondering about the deletions, especially of WikiProject categories (i.e. Category:FA-class carnivorous plant articles). The list looks up-to-date as of 5 March, but I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to go around deleting them using an automated function (AWB? I don't know what Voice of All was using). In the interim of the list being generated and the empty cats being deleted, you might find some like the example above where someone is mid-edit, or in my case where I was instructed to create the cats at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Using the bot and then go ahead with assessment. Should we propose a change to those instructions or somehow tag the WikiProject cats as not to be deleted? Has this method been discussed anywhere? Thanks! --Rkitko 17:22, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- I just generated the list and deleted a few from it none were part of the FA ect group. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 17:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- PS I dont auto delete any. I did skip ones that I thought should be kept. I have been engaged with another task at the moment. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 17:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Right. Looks like User:Voice of All used the list you generated to delete empty categories associated with WikiProjects (among others). How do you generate the list? Is there some way you could omit WikiProject assessment categories from it so they won't get deleted? Cheers, --Rkitko 23:23, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- PS I dont auto delete any. I did skip ones that I thought should be kept. I have been engaged with another task at the moment. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 17:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- yeah I'll try and filter those out next time this was just a crude list that admins could look over and delete ones that met CDS#C1 and leave the others. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 03:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks! I appreciate it. --Rkitko 07:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Quite a few categories related to WikiProjects and maintenance categories were deleted - I've restored at least 4. They were zapped in good faith of course, but perhaps we need to find a way of avoiding a repeat? Perhaps a template saying "this is a maintenance category, at times it will be empty but it remains useful, please don't delete it"? --kingboyk 13:34, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Just ain't fair!
category:Cities in the UTC timezone used have an explanation in the cat. Now reverted without a compleet explanation it seems to hinder the category CfD. And now they're deleting it! Frustratingly no one takes the time to explain any policy. Can you help? --CyclePat 19:04, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- The reason that I deleted was because of WP:CSD#C1 Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 19:08, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I have had vandal proof for a while now and I have had to keep un-installing and re-installing it several times now as at first it goes really fast then after a little while when you click rollback it takes about 5 seconds, nearly always more, however when I re-install it it wipeds my vandalism counter back to zero and I display it on my userpage so I have to keep explaining about it, can you help with this to make it go fast permanently. After asking questions on a sub-page the first time the user was very helpful and informative, however when AmiDaniel and another user replied when I asked about two months later, they seemed unwilling to help. Thanks.Tellyaddict 19:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
