[[File:Twatt_Orkney_Road_Sign.JPG|thumb|right|On wikipedia there are two main types of folk. There's the Dounbys, content contributors who build the site and care little for silliness, and then there's the Twatts, contemptible folk who do nothing to build content and exist purely to lecture others on their personal conduct and encourage pointy blocks, or go about plastering pointless tags on articles requesting deletion. If you fall into the Twatt category, head right, [[WP:ANI]] is awaiting you..]] |

Satyajit Ray Awards FLC
Hope you are doing well. I have expanded yet another Satyajit Ray list and pushed it for FLC. Whenever you get some time, could you please take a look at the nomination here and put your comments? Thanks in advance. - Vivvt (Talk) 18:42, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Looks good but I'm having a break from FAC and reviewing at the moment. In fact I'm not too enthusiastic about the project and many of the people here right now either. But the glorious weather tends to have that effect on me!♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:05, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Iglesia de Santa María la Real y Antigua de Gamonal, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alfonso VI (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:14, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Allan George Richard Byfield

The article Allan George Richard Byfield has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Unsourced biography of a living person
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Hi, I'm talking a break from reviewing at the moment, sorry about that. Nice job though!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:37, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
Okay doctor. May i know when you shall be back as a GA Reviewer? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 13:00, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

The user patchy
I don't know what to say-this guy probably would put a db-person it seems like if the guy won a Olympic medal, a Oscar, a Grammy, ect. if there were no refs. But yeah some of it is getting too much and is also removing the BLP unsourced tags even if it still technically counts as the sources are just el's with no direct references. I want to send a note but don't know what to say! Wgolf (talk) 17:32, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
The problem is that he's tagging some very notable articles for deletion when the solution is really to quickly source them. He seems to be using automation without actually assessing them individually. If he continues I will request that he is banned from using automated tools and prodding articles.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:42, 11 July 2015 (UTC) I have undid some of his speedies just now-while some are questionable-they still have pages that link to other wikis that could make them more notable. I just put as the undo "take it to afd if you must" Wgolf (talk) 17:48, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
- User:Dr. Blofeld has the ban for automated tools and prods been requested? Support. User:Wgolf how many actual articles have his speedies already cost? Is it possible to get an admin to do a wind back check? In ictu oculi (talk) 02:05, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- I have gotten a few but some of the speedies he did put have been removed-granted it was earlier today and don't quite remember. Wgolf (talk) 02:07, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- There must be some record? In ictu oculi (talk) 02:17, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- @In ictu oculi: The rate at which he's been blindly tagging articles without adding sources is alarming, wouldn't surprise me if a fair few of them get deleted. He needs to be stopped. If he doesn't then we should report it at ANI and start a request for banning of automated tools and prodding.♦ Dr. Blofeld 06:36, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- By the looks of it he's "retired" so we won't have to, but that's until he creates a new account and does the same thing again. Unsourced BLPs are a problem of course and do need to be rooted out, but not in that deletionist approach. If he started going through them adding sources and removing tags I'd fully support him.♦ Dr. Blofeld 06:40, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, good work. If we get similar again from a new account go for an SPI too. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:08, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Dr. Blofeld, it is my sincere pleasure to hereby award you The West Virginia Barnstar in recognition of your thoughtful assistance, which led to the promotion of Capon Chapel to Featured Article status. This article is the first Hampshire County subject and only the sixth West Virginia-related subject to receive this status. Thank you for helping to bring awareness to another West Virginia landmark! -- West Virginian (talk) 11:09, 12 July 2015 (UTC) |
@West Virginian: Thanks, but it is you who deserves to be rewarded for promoting it!♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:14, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
