Revision as of 22:20, 24 May 2011
This page is where I exchange comments with friends and other editors. All users are welcome to leave a message. Unless you state otherwise, I'll assume we are (or can be) friends. Feel free to leave any notes, suggestions, complaints, or anything else. I respond to almost anything reasonable, (but I'll only respond to vandalism or stupidity if it's funny). Note: I frequently take long breaks from AN, AN/I, RfA, and other drama related pages. If you feel I should know about something, or would like my views on something, do not assume that I am aware of anything in particular, or that I am simply ignoring you or a topic. Drop me a note here, and I'd be happy to look.

New Editors
I just noticed that you blanked your page. I love an empty canvas!!! I've become a Wiki Guide (nice work if you can get it) and one of the other guides has started a page asking for views on the on-going and varied situation regarding New Editors. As you might remember that was (and still is) one of my early discoveries ..ie..the mistreatment of young editors. As I remember you also had some ideas on the subject. The page is at Wikipedia:Wiki Guides/Welcome new users. Check it out, friend! TRA! Buster Seven Talk 04:19, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
- Hey Buster .. how ya doin buddy? I'll pop over and take a look here in a bit. Glad to see you're still keeping the home fires burning, and watching out for the new guys. — Ched : ? 04:34, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Friendship Barnstar
Your Friendship Barnstar, which I have always felt was the best ever, may start to get some increased use. I recently gave a well-deserved one to User:Hydroxonium and he placed it onto the Wikipedia:Barnstars page. I also just discovered User:Kaldari, one of your fellow admins and gave him one for use in his WikiLove project. Your wonderfully creative barnstar and its positive message desrves to be wall-papered all across wiki-back-pages. TRA!Buster Seven Talk 05:45, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
Re: Same old, same old
Hey Ched, going...well, better than it has been, but not particularly good today (just got back from a rather distressing interview). I see you are slowing working your way back here! Good good good. — Huntster (t @ c) 20:42, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Getting back up to speed - Questions
OK ... several things seemed to have changed, although unfortunately not some of the drama levels - (note to self: stay away from comments at AN or AN/I for now). But that does lead me to needing to get back up to speed on how things get done around here.
1. At the time I was last active we were discussing something called "Flagged Revisions" ... I'm now seeing something called "PC" (Pending Changes). Is this something that is in place? .. or just being discussed? Is is what FR evolved into? If it's in place and being used, might I ask where (I'll guess at BLP areas), and where's the link to the best place to get up to speed on this stuff?
2. Apparently there's been some changes to references and cites too. Now using some form of in-line citation thing I read. Anyone want to drop a link to get me up to speed on that?
Sidenotes: I see Rlevse has left, sorry to see that whole thing go down like it did. Glad to see lots of familiar faces too. I see OM appears to be back, I'm guessing the community is glad about that, as I remember him leaving as I was coming in. Couple peeps are now admins. that weren't before .. some good - some I'm not so sure of. A few good editors still here .. a few still missing as well. Oh well .. all in all, Hi folks. Prolly make a lot less noise than I did back when, but hope to see ya all around. — Ched : ? 17:45, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- 1) Not familiar with FR, but Pending Changes was tried and not well recepted, from what I can tell. Significant issues with reviewers accepting changes without really looking at what was changed. Not sure what the current status is, but deployment is on hold for now: Wikipedia:Pending changes.
- 2) List-defined references is just a way to reduce clutter inside the article. I love love love it. See second example at WP:LDR and other stuff at Help:Footnotes#List-defined references. It's completely optional for use, but I think the reduction in clutter far outweighs any negatives.
- Sidenotes) I know nothing about any of this, as I don't monitor the drama boards. Hehe. — Huntster (t @ c) 19:58, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

- Yes, whatever became of me? :) I've tried to quit a few times, but that feeling doesn't last long, especially if I can get into some new baseball topic. :) Regarding that one user, there's an obvious conclusion, or at least suspicion, to draw. I'm sure the checkusers are scrambling even as we speak. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 10:10, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

- Hey, no problem Dave, just didn't want to see it turn ugly. I know it can get frustrating dealing with stubborn new editors at times. It's like raising kids all over again .. lol. Cheers and best buddy. — Ched : ? 19:38, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
- The fact that anon IPs are often shrugged off or not held accountable is something of a worrying trend, the nit-wits just don't seem to be able to copmprehend that and oftentimes, a few would step on their fellow editor (hint, hint...) perhaps in their ladder for RfA? Think maybe we should make these nit-wits read up on WP:OWB for some frightening insights. Anyway, thanks and best. --Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 19:44, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
- Cool! .. thanks Dave. And yep .. they can really push your buttons at times. Sometimes I think they do it deliberately because there just doesn't seem to be as much "gray area" with the anons. as with the registered users. — Ched : ? 20:28, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

That RfA reform thing
Kudpung has asked me to 'nudge' some people .. as I'm an idle get, I'm just going through the entire Task Force list so my apologies if you didn't need a nudge! You can slap me about over on WP:EfD if you like :o) Straw polling various options: over here - please add views, agree with views, all that usual stuff. Pesky (talk) 12:50, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- I'll take a look and post something in the next day or two. Thanks for the heads up. (and don't ever worry about "nudging" me. I miss so much that sometimes I have to be nudged to look at my talk page. :)

Incivility
I didn't quite understand your comments at WQA. Are you suggesting that this wasn't uncivil; or that an AFD isn't important enough to be civil at; or that I should just put up with persistent incivility? Hyperdoctor Phrogghrus (talk) 08:13, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- It's not that I didn't see some questionable civility issues, but more a matter that: 1) I also saw what I considered to be a fair amount of baiting as well, 2) I'd much rather attempt to be a voice of calm and reason than to just jump on the block button. The people involved are content contributors, and some are rather tenured and prolific as well. I certainly didn't see what I considered anything that quite rose to the level of personal attacks, although the mood seemed to be headed that way. (and I preferred to attempt to diffuse the situation rather than escalate it by choosing sides or issuing blocks).
- Many people here are very passionate about their efforts and their understandings of our policies and guidelines. That is not a bad thing in-and-by-itself, but it can lead to (all too often) heated discussions which easily escalate into rhetoric that results in blocks, bans, and hard feelings. I'm not sure if you're aware of it or not, but there have been many times that the civility policy has been met with very conflicting views. Some argue that bluntness, and "telling it like it is" are simply the preferred method of communication. Others would debate the "we must always be nice" side of the issue. To be honest, I just didn't see that the entire conversation was worthy of the amount of discord that was displayed there. I'd rather that everyone simply state their view of the "keep/delete/merge" discussion according to policy as they see it, and leave the acrimony out of the equation. On one last note: There's a saying in my neck of the woods; "Be careful when you get into a pissing battle with a skunk, because sometimes bystanders can't tell which is which." Cheers and Best, — Ched : ? 08:39, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you for taking the trouble to reply. I was rather under the impression that I had been taking efforts to be civil, to keep within policy, and to address the issues of trying to improve the encyclopaedia -- I was also under the impression that TT rather enjoys being sarcastic, winding people up, pushing the limits of acceptable behaviour and outright personal attacks. I feel seriously discouraged by the fact that you don't seem to see any difference. If I behaved like TT in real life, I would pretty soon find myself in the boss's officwe facing the ominous question "Are you really happy here" I foolishly allowed myself to waste a lot of time yesterday trying to deal with TT's behaviour and do you know what -- I just don't care any more. Hyperdoctor Phrogghrus (talk) 09:36, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- (technically out of sequence post, but I can only respond to one at a time)
- I can certainly understand your feelings HP. To be sure, TT's passion for the project has often brought out a very dry and sarcastic wit of his that has netted him his share of disagreements. He has been with the project for a long time now, and is not afraid to but heads with some of our most esteemed colleagues. He also has a fair understanding of our policies and guidelines here, and isn't afraid to argue his perceived viewpoint. Indeed, I have often disagreed with his views, but seldom find it worth the aggravation to engage in a protracted debate over a web-page or the site in general. For my own personal choices, I simply try to edit where I can, and let others sort out what is of value, and what is not. It's very very easy to get so passionate over things here, but other than our own moods and frame of mind, they often have little impact on real life.
- To be honest, I'm somewhat of an old fart around these parts, and I often just don't "get it" when some of the "youngers" drift into the current speak of the day. FWIW, I did drop by and ask him to settle down a bit, and he did seem quite agreeable to that. I guess my view at this point is that some things were said that could have been said better, but it's perhaps best to leave it in the past. I DO wish you all the best here, and please always feel free to drop a line or question anytime you have the desire. Best of luck, — Ched : ? 09:56, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi again Ched, I've just noticed that Hyperdoctor here seems to be (obliquely) accusing me of harassment now. As we've only ever interacted on the AfD page, I'm bemused as to how this could be remotely possible, and would appreciate if you could either issue a caution as per WP:AOHA, or just generally keep an eye on the situation. Cheers, ╟─TreasuryTag►presiding officer─╢ 09:46, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think anyone is accusing anyone of anything TT, in fact it seems to me that he is resigned to just dropping the entire matter. I think it's likely best to just let the matter rest, see how the AfD finishes out, and move on from there. He felt the subject met our WP:N guidelines and voted as such. He should be allowed his views, and the closing editor will ascertain the validity of each camps arguments. In fact, I note that the user has declared a "wiki-break", and I think it best to allow him some peace and quiet. As you know, things can often get heated here - but not all contributors embrace those things. I found him to be well spoken, and a pleasant sort to be honest, and I do hope he returns soon. We can't all share the same beliefs, goals, and desires here, but with work, we can learn to be tolerant of one another. Cheers — Ched : ? 10:11, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- I'm sorry to say that I don't care to learn to be tolerant of personal insults, personal attacks, false statements and bad faith. Goodbye. Hyperdoctor Phrogghrus (talk) 11:01, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- HP, I do hope you will return after a short break. It's a very large and worthwhile project here, and I have no doubt that your contributions would benefit out site. If I was not firm enough, or authoritative enough, then allow that to be my failing, and not that of the communities. — Ched : ? 14:06, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

- Sounds like good advise to self. I've learned the more you stay away from problem areas in life, the better. I'm sure that holds true for wiki. You have a dog on your user page and on Bugs' page you said you're a grandad, so I bet you're a neat guy.BarkingMoon (talk) 19:10, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
- I'd recommend staying away from AE as well. Some areas of the project are just more trouble than they're worth.

Light current
What would it take to get the user "Light current" unbanned and unblocked? He was banned over 4 years ago due to ref desk misbehavior, but there is no longer any energy by the ref desk regulars towards maintaining the ban. Rather than continuing the constant fighting, I would like to see him unshackled, to see if he can actually contribute something useful. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 03:26, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
- Hmmmmm .. not really sure. Was he banned by the WP:AC or at ANI? .. I'll look around if you'd like, maybe just posting a request to ANI if it wasn't an arb thing. — Ched : ? 03:29, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
- I don't know for sure, as it was before my time; but I'm fairly certain it was from ANI. Note the block log for Light current (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), and it refers to ANI. I'll see if I can find the specific archive from which it grew. The other day, someone was telling me he wasn't "really" banned. I don't understand that. But if so, in theory an admin could unilaterally unblock the guy, right? (With the understanding that he needs to straighten up and fly right.) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 03:32, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

- Agreed, A fresh start with a good name would be best for all. Glitch Turner (talk) 03:39, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
- I'd like to see you get unbanned and unblocked so you can be productive like you want to be. A ban has to do with a person rather than an account. So you would have to get unbanned before you can legally edit again, no matter what the ID is. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 03:41, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

I know of at least one admin. that absolutely seems to delight in hauling other admins. to RFAR to try to get them desysopped, and I sure don't want to mess around with him .. even though I think he's running a little short on rope these days.

(I'll post a welcome there in a moment) - then what I would suggest is that someone post a request at ANI to have the ban lifted so that you can edit. If you'd like, I will even post the request. — Ched : ? 04:03, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

- Likely known via guilt by association with myself and CoM. Don't see you around too much Ched, hope all is well. -kelapstick(bainuu) 21:31, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
- I used to know a guy that looked just like you, named Ched Davis. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:06, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
- Ha, I thought there was a CoM connection, but I didn't see you among the last 1000 of his talk page edits... I'll plow through them one by one, after I take these two monkeys here to the store and back. Maybe all of us will still be alive, but some are certainly applying to stay elsewhere.

- Yep, once kelapstick mentioned the connection it rang a bell. Last I had heard CoM had been banned, but I don't know if that's still the case.
- @Bugs, lol ... yea, they say everybody has a twin .. poor guy. :D .. By the way, I think that Ref Desk guy ended up being blocked again. (along with all the socks). Got a bit confusing for a bit - but haven't seen much mention of it since we tried to get him/her straightened away. Oh well, guess some folks just won't learn.
- @Mandarax ... very nice tool .. thank you. — Ched : ? 22:16, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Task Force Information: Recent updates include basic minor changes and condensing at the main page, new project sub page and talk for Radical Alternatives , additional comments on the main page talk page, and messages at Task force talk. A current priority is to reach suggested criteria/tasks for clerks, and then to establish a local consensus vis-à-vis clerking. Please remember to keep all the project and its talk pages on your watchlist.--Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:36, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Re.
Just for the record – I don't have the diff to hand either, but I distinctly remember saying that I would be checking Sarek's edits for (a) rollback abuse and (b) INVOLVED violations, both of which are explicit policy violations and thus come under the general heading of 'tracking an editor's contributions for policy violations' in my opinion.
However, that will hopefully become academic, because this interaction ban will stop Sarek from deliberately irritating me into objecting to their rampant abuse of admin tools. ╟─TreasuryTag►condominium─╢ 22:20, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
