== Premature semi-protecion on Sundae == |
|||
I was working on the Sundae article, due to the google doodle event, cleaning it up and rewriting the recipe section, and you semi-protected it, claiming "persistent vandalism." I was in and out of the page for quite a long time, researching, wiki-linking, checking data against other wp pages for sonsitency of information -- and i saw NO vandalism at all during that time. |
|||
Did you think that *i* was a vandal because i was not logegd in? If so, shame on you for failing to look at my work or to assume good faith. If you saw evidence of "persistent vandalism," please tell me where and when -- i saw NO SUCH THING. |
|||
I despise wp editors who think that a professional writer who donates time here and has done so for many years is "vandalizing" pages by editing them from an IP address. This has happened to me repeatedly when i use my IP address. It is arrogant and shows bad form. |
|||
So, of course, i took the time to log in, finish my most recent edit that i got locked out of, and then came to you and complained -- but because of your arrogance, i won't finish working on the article by editing the historical section. Rudeness is such a turn-off when your staff consists of volunteers. |

Hello, I'm not sure if this is how I'm meant to reply to you. I apologise for what you feel are "disruptive edits" but I am trying to include information that Wikipedia currently doesn't have. As it stands Jerusalem is claimed by two parties, and while the Knesset meets in Jerusalem, the majority of international bodies do not recognise it as the capital of either.
I believed Jerusalem was the capital of Israel, and when asked in a quiz I recently lost £500 because the UN, and my own country's Foreign Office do not recognise the move of Israel's capital from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem in the 50s.
I am not arguing that it shouldn't be regarded as the capital of either area, I just think it should be recorded that both claims are disputed, and just as the Palestinian state's article lists alternative capitals, the internationally recognised capital of Tel-Aviv should be given also.
I understand that this is a sensitive subject, and I do not mean to appear "disruptive" or cause offence but wikipedia should have more detail than "though [it is] not internationally recognized as such."
If Jerusalem is not "internationally recognised as such" then where is?

- Please give a reliable source showing that Tel-Aviv is the capital. Rami R 23:06, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
- My own country's foreign office states in their country profile that it does not recognise Israel's claim to Jerusalem as its capital and has a map showing Tel-Aviv as the capital.
The wikipedia articles on United Nations Security Council Resolution 478 and Positions on Jerusalem both also cite the UN's non-recognition of Jerusalem as the capital, while United Nations General Assembly Resolution 194 shows that right from the early days of de facto Israeli control over Jerusalem the UN didn't recognise it as fully within Israel
-Alex —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.15.87.172 (talk) 02:42, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- "The UK locates it embassy in Tel Aviv." - that's the most your source says of Tel Aviv, nothing about it being the capital. Wikipedia articles aren't considered reliable sources, and even they don't make the claim of Tel Aviv being the capital. Rami R 07:42, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- Yes it says the UK locates its embassy in Tel-Aviv in the section marked "capital city" after stating that the UK and the rest of the international community do not recognise Jerusalem as capital, and it has a map, with a red square (which denotes a capital city) over Tel-Aviv.
I linked to the wikipedia articles rather than each individual source of the wikipedia articles. Resolution 194 showed that the UN didn't recognise Israeli control over Jerusalem at a time when the capital was indisputably Tel-Aviv.
If it was the word "capital" that you object to, would you prefer it if my edit read
"[Jerusalem] is self-proclaimed as the capital city of both Israel and the Palestinian State, though not internationally recognized as such in either case. [iii] A united Israel would be the largest city in terms of area and population in either nation. Those countries which do not recognise Palestine's claim to Jerusalem as the capital generally recognise Ramallah or Gaza instead as the seats of government, while the Israeli government is based in Jerusalem itself, most countries which do not recognise it as such, retain their permanent diplomatic missions in Tel-Aviv, the previous undisputed capital."?
Upon re-reading the Tel-Aviv article I see this already mentions that it was the capital and that most countries kept their embassies there because they didn't recognise Jerusalem, and I'm happy with that, although I would have expected it to be higher up in the article.
-Alex
- I would prefer that all sides of the dispute on wikipedia would simply give up and realize the futility of pursuing the issue. I myself don't involve myself beyond removing claims of Tel Aviv being the capital, which I hope you're now convinced is wrong, even if Jerusalem isn't the capital. As such, I do not oppose your proposed change; rest assured others will. Rami R 13:10, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- I don't see myself as a "side in the dispute" as such, I just lost £500 in a quiz because I said Jerusalem was the capital of Israel and it turns out that the UN et al never recognised the move from Tel-Aviv. But you're right though, life is too short to spend arguing over a city which I'm probably never going to visit (because I lost that £500.)

Typo
You mean "even when it's clear the vandal is not going to stop", right? 28bytes (talk) 23:18, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Your RFA
Hang on in there! At 77% and with some very weak oppose arguments any 'crat worth their salt closing it now would clearly pass it. I appreciate it's tough however :). I'm suprised there is less commentary to be honest, as you're the only one running - however *most* of the feedback is useful. There's no question in my mind you'd use the tools well and will only benefit WP with them. Pedro : Chat 19:10, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks :) I myself wondered about how this RFA seems quieter than the last one. Overall the RFA is going different, starting not very good and having an overall positive trend, as apposed to the last one with a good start and an overall negative trend. Still, around the same time in the previous RFA I had 81%, so party hats stay tucked away for now ;) Rami R 19:34, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Rollback
This may not make any difference, since you may be an admin in two days, but do you want me to request your having rollback? --T H F S W (T · C · E) 00:41, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the offer. However, I don't feel much need for rollback. I find undo and twinkle's rollback sufficient. Rami R 10:55, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
You are now an administrator
Congratulations, I have just closed your RfA as successful and made you an administrator. Take a look at the administrators' how-to guide and the administrators' reading list if you haven't read those already. Also, the practice exercises at the new admin school may be useful. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch on my talk page. WJBscribe (talk) 11:35, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
- Congratulations! While I was unable to offer support, I am confident that your new role will be a net positive and that you will be a great administrator! Cheers! --Strikerforce (talk) 11:37, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Congratulations on your successful RfA, Rami R! Here's the standard clothing for your new role, hope it fits. :) Best. Armbrust Talk Contribs 11:41, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks all! Armbrust, it's just the right size :) Rami R 12:23, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
- Congrats! I missed your RfA, but would have supported! If you need any help, please drop me a line! Have a look in my monnobook for some helpful scripts (though you've written one of the best!). GedUK 13:02, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
- Congratgulations! --Perseus8235 14:35, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
- Congrats also. PhilKnight (talk) 17:06, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
- Oh it was nice to see your name at AIV! Congrats!--5 albert square (talk) 22:06, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
- Congrats. It should have happened the first time round, but better late than never! Do drop by if you need anything (be it advice or just a chat) and, as Ged says, raid the .js files of a few admins. There are some great scripts in mine (all stolen, of course). I'll look forward to seeing you around! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:36, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Can you please revisit the WP:AIV for User:69.118.143.13. I have responded to your comment on the AIV page. 24fan24 (talk) 22:55, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Issue with RFPP Clerk
There's an issue with RFPP clerk where if a section is completely emptied it bunches it together with the next section.
I've fixed this in my userspace copy of the RFPP clerk. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 19:02, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for your efforts. I've fixed the script another way, by changing where the next section starts.[1] The advantage is that newlines aren't continually inserted. Rami R 09:12, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
- Cool. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 23:38, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Vandal alert.
Sorry to disturb you, but can you please block the address 118.137.75.198 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)? It is currently being used by the now infamous Indonesian misinformation vandal, who is inserting minsinformation into Little League and Pokemon related articles. Need your action ASAP. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 11:23, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
There has been an ongoing attack on the series being called "black comedy", each time from a different IP, as pure vandalism with blank edit summaries. For the sake of concision, these are the diffs that reverted the vandal edits: [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]. Here is the note that Xeworlebi left, with a sarcastic yet justifiable comment that "no one [was] going to read [it]": do not change or remove "black comedy". There is, of course, a handful of "regular" vandal diffs, laced in between those I have listed above. Please reconsider my request for semi-protection. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 23:00, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- While true that there has been many unproductive edits, there have also been many constructive IP/newly registered edits.[12][13][14][15][16] I felt that overall, disruption did not clearly outweigh constructive edits. But, tell you what, I'm tired and drunk right now, so in the interest of letting a sober mind assess this, I give you permission (as if you need permission) to re-post the request, and I grant any admin the right to apply protection without consulting me (as if they need my permission). Rami R 23:22, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, an admin protected the page but unprotected right after seeing your decision. Please reconsider this as you are hopefully sober by now. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 22:16, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

RFPP clerk
There was an issue today with the RFPP clerk failing because someone had added spaces to the unprotection title. I've fixed the page, but this should also help. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 19:54, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
- Done. Good catch. Rami R 21:10, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Rami, not sure if your recent changes to the script have caused this, but for some reason I can no longer find the RFPP clerk button in my toolbox. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:13, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
