My recent RfB
Thank you so much for your participation in my recent RfB. Though it closed with 72% support (below the required 90%), I'm still quite pleased at the outpouring of support shown by a fair percentage of the community.
I'm currently tabulating and calculating all opposing and neutral arguments to help me better address the community's concerns about my abilities as a bureaucrat. If you'd like, you can follow my progress (and/or provide additional suggestions) at User:EVula/admin/RfB notes. Thanks again! EVula // talk // ☯ // 04:08, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey!
Did you steal my bot?? ;-) ~ Wikihermit 07:32, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- You better watch out Animum ;-). I'm bring out the big guns. ^_^. ~ Wikihermit 06:05, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Your new bot
Hey Animum, congratulations on being skilled enough to design your own bot. I was considering designing one myself, but I was just wondering if I could ask you firsthand: 1. is it very hard? and 2. How long did it take you? Thanks, Anonymous DissidentTalk 05:25, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- Ok. Thanks. I might try something using AWB too... Anonymous DissidentTalk 00:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Image map on WP:POST
You changed the image to an image map (which I do like, by the way), but I'm not familiar with the syntax. How would I go about adding an alternative text for non-graphic browsers, or where the image doesn't load? Is this done with the "desc" setting, and if so, how's the syntax work? Ral315 » 19:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- I don't have a non-graphic browser to test it on, but previously, hovering over the image would bring up the description. This doesn't do that- as such, I'm not sure whether it works or not. Ral315 » 20:16, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Please reconsider your redirection of this link. My original plans were to have a disambiguation page, Harry Spencer (cricketer), with existing articles titled Harry Spencer (cricketer, born 1868) and Harry Spencer (cricketer, born 1901). I have made these moves but feel free to change them back if you feel it necessary. Bobo. 01:26, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- In which case, please specify where you believe these two links should be situated to distinguish one from the other. This I feel to be the easiest way, and is the way I have used to disambiguate several cricket players in the past. Please suggest any further way which I can make clear which Harry Spencer (cricketer) is which. Bobo. 15:08, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Your Feud with Me...
... is distracting from the nature of my question at Wikipedia:Requests for bureaucratship/Husond. Please consider removing your comments; I give you permission to remove mine (the line beginning with "If I'd happened", not my oppose vote) at the same time. I'd like to reemphasize the nature of my oppose as an invitation to explanation from Husond, not as part of a pursuit of some sort of vendetta against you carried to its most-extreme-imaginable tangent. Jouster (whisper) 03:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- I've removed the comments (with Magnus animum's consent), and hope that the two of you can avoid any further unpleasantries. For what it's worth, I think Husond's actions on Magnus animum's RfA were reasonable ones. Newyorkbrad 15:57, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Bot flag
Hi. Per Mets501's final approval of your bot [1], I've granted Animum Delivery Bot a bot flag [2]. Cheers, Redux 12:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

This has got to stop
You have got to be . Intentionally obfuscating source code is contrary to everything the project and the GFDL are about. I don't even know how you did it, but stop it. I am doing my best to sort it out now. Jouster (whisper) 16:22, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for reverting it. I figured that would eliminate the right-to-left text, and it didn't. :\ Jouster (whisper) 16:26, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- If you want to argue with me about the coding of my userpage, then fine. You've done so before. If you feel so strongly, though, I suggest asking AzaToth to do the same. —« ANIMUM » 16:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- I see you've put it back. I therefore ask you to strap on your administrator shoes, and inform me where the best place to take the dispute would be. RFM? RFC? Village Pump (policy)? I'd tend to go for the last of those, so if I don't hear from you, that's where I'll ask for assistance in ascertaining consensus on obfuscation. I will look into this AzaToth business; I have never heard of that user. Jouster (whisper) 16:47, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- Jouster, before this escalates, would you care to explain to me as a third party what the issue is here? Newyorkbrad 16:49, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

- Of course! Magnus is using the right-to-left text order character to effectively obfuscate his User page's code (and he has perma-protected his subpages/templates, a violation of WP:NOT#USER in my eyes, but I disgress). I view that as a possible violation of the "opaque" provision of the GFDL, and an absolute violation of the spirit of openness and community contribution that lie at the heart of Wikipedia and the spirit of the GFDL. Am I patently wrong in this view? May I, for instance, take a template I wrote and whose code I am particularly fond of, and obfuscate it similarly, or wrap my favorite page in some sort of CSS transform so that I may write it in ROT13? Jouster (whisper) 16:54, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, that still makes no sense to me - any chance you could clarify for us computer code illiterate users!? Ryan Postlethwaite 16:57, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

- In case your browser does not support this character, I have created a screenshot of the behavior, at right. Jouster (whisper) 16:59, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- GFDL isn't a problem, technically the links there for all to see. The page name can easily be typed into the address bar if a subpage is needed to be seen. I personally just don't see the point - vandalism in userspace is far far better than vandalism in article space. Ryan Postlethwaite 17:03, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

- (reindent) Suffice it to say that I strongly disagree with your dismissiveness towards this issue. Since I now have, I believe, three administrators looking over my shoulder on this topic, can one of you answer the question, above, as to the best venue to which to take this concern? Jouster (whisper) 17:08, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- Not looking over your shoulder at all, I'm just weighing in my opinion! Where to go from here..... Well, there's WT:USER - that's probably the best place to start a discussion on it, hope that helps. Ryan Postlethwaite 17:12, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
