== Hi! == ==Daily-article-l==
I have a request for your scripting talents. ] and I current run daily-article-l (which you can get to by clicking 'by email' on the main page). It's generated using a script (which Faraaz runs manually), and then he pastes the results into his email client, sends the email, and then approves it. I would prefer to fully automate the process. We considered doing this originally when Kate set it up, but the templates were not protected then (leading us to worry about a well timed vandalism). This no longer being the case, I would like to fully automate it. Would you be willing to help us do this? ] 23:21, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
I am not sure how to post here so I'm just using the edit botton. Why did you delete the links I put on the CRO page? They did not promote a thing but explained what the term means. Since there is no real write-up on the page yet, the links are useful. If you weren't for copyright, I would have just copied from some of them. Well, they probably are copyrighted. I've put the links back with an explanation of why they are there.


:Thanks for considering helping us with this. One problem that may arise is that changes in the main page can often cause undesired results in the script's output; for example, the script has been appending "(more...)" to the end of all featured article descriptions since this text was added in to the FA descriptions, and it has not been outputting the selected anniversaries since the format was changed slightly by adding an extra line of text at the top.

:Unless there is some way to safeguard against any changes made to the main page, I think it would be best for the script to automatically generate and send emails, but not approve it in mailman.

== Accusing me of being Tony Pierce! ==


I've deleted ], for two reasons. Firstly, "I can't stand idly by and let a troll vandalize this great encyclopedia to make a point" is inflammatory and unnecessary. Secondly, I think this is all a big misunderstanding, and RFC is needlessly confrontational.
Haha. Thanks for the quick retraction. Commendible. I've made much worse mistakes and just deleted. <small>—The preceding ] comment was added by ] (] • ]) 09:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->


You are under the impression that nenolod wants to make some sort of point, to protest the deletion of ], correct? I believe he was simply convinced by Cacophony, and is applying a standard he wasn't aware of before. I can't see any evidence that this isn't the case, and he-said she-said accusations based on IRC are completely unhelpful.

I believe that you are correct. I have nothing against nenolod, despite his continuous off-site assumptions of bad faith and threats to expose some sort of conspiracy. However, the fact is that his recent behavior of putting IRCd and IRC Services articles for deletion were done in a disruptive manner. The question of whether or not he is doing it to make a point (which I do believe he is, but I'm not about to argue over it) could be discarded if one simply realizes that he '''is''' doing so in a way that is impeding the process of improving wikipedia.

I am very concerned about your reaction to HighInBC's complaint of harassment . Unless HighInBC has posted his workplace phone number and invited people to call him, simply the act of calling him to say "Hello HighInBC" is harassment per ] and is very threatening; basically saying "I know who and where you work but you don't know who I am." Adding a threatening or offensive song compounds the problem, especially since an IP editor has threatened his family. Please do not endorse this behavior and if you really know the caller, tell him to knock it off. I note that while you have been a wikipedian for more than a year, most of your article edits are simple spelling corrections and most of your Misplaced Pages space edits relate in some way to GNAA. You may wish to disassociate yourself and your edits from the GNAA if you wish to be seen as a productive wikipedian. The more trolling and harassment that comes from them, the less likely the community is to tolerate editors with any connection to them. Especially please do not condone real life harassment of editors. Thanks. ] 00:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Please see my post at ''']'''.
Had some changes rolled back and wanted to see if I could get them reinstated. I placed external links to pages that carried scores and updated news for minor league sports teams. According to Misplaced Pages:External links (http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:External_links), "information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail" is an acceptable reason to add external links. In fact, the article specifically cites "professional athlete statistics" as an example. For instance, one of the links added was for the Quad City Riverhawks, with the link going to http://www.oursportscentral.com/sports/?t_id=1942. You can see that scores, stats, press releases and links online newspaper articles for the team are available there, something that is too detailed and constantly changing for a Misplaced Pages entry. All are also missing from the official team website.

I can understand where you're coming from, but it seems the submitted link falls more squarely into What should be linked than Links normally to be avoided. While one may contend that the link possibly promotes a website and contains advertising, it also includes information which can't be found anywhere else and is highly relevant to the subject.

] 19:12, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

== Misunderstand about adding site ==

I may did a mistake because I didn't read the rules about adding an external link.
So far I'm already have a link add to my site from "Premature Ejaculation" and it's a useful information.

I just figure that other relate documents to the content in my site are listed in Misplaced Pages and I try to add my link into them.
But you consider that my link is spamming, I didn't mean that because my web site is a useful information for this problem.

I have to say I'm sorry about that and if possible. Would you please add my link back to "Premature Ejaculation"? <small>—The preceding ] comment was added by ] (] • ]) 19:22, 29 December 2006 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->

Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Nenolod

I've deleted Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Nenolod, for two reasons. Firstly, "I can't stand idly by and let a troll vandalize this great encyclopedia to make a point" is inflammatory and unnecessary. Secondly, I think this is all a big misunderstanding, and RFC is needlessly confrontational.

You are under the impression that nenolod wants to make some sort of point, to protest the deletion of InspIRCd, correct? I believe he was simply convinced by Cacophony, and is applying a standard he wasn't aware of before. I can't see any evidence that this isn't the case, and he-said she-said accusations based on IRC are completely unhelpful.

I don't think that you and nenolod actually disagree about anything, and I don't think that RFC is likely to be productive. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 11:01, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I believe that you are correct. I have nothing against nenolod, despite his continuous off-site assumptions of bad faith and threats to expose some sort of conspiracy. However, the fact is that his recent behavior of putting IRCd and IRC Services articles for deletion were done in a disruptive manner. The question of whether or not he is doing it to make a point (which I do believe he is, but I'm not about to argue over it) could be discarded if one simply realizes that he is doing so in a way that is impeding the process of improving wikipedia. To quote from WP:POINT:

  • If someone lists one of your favourite articles on AfD and calls it silly, and you believe that there are hundreds of sillier articles...
    • do state your case on AfD in favour of the article.
    • don't list hundreds of other articles on AfD in one day to try to save it.

And on his talk page, he states that he has added other competing IRC services packages to prod simply because he was asked to re-add the prod notice to Atheme that he previously removed.

Personally, I don't agree with the deletion of the InspIRCD article. I happen to have used it a few times, and despite my decision that I didn't think the software could scale properly, I feel that it is notable, and worthy of inclusion in at least the comparison of IRCd softwares article.
