User:Magog the Ogre/to-do


ANI

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. The discussion is at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Darkness_Shines. Mar4d (talk) 03:22, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi

Wow thanks so much man! Ericdeaththe2nd (talk) 17:47, 2 August 2012 (UTC)ericdeaththe2nd

You're welcome. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 23:30, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Your 6 month 1RR/week probabation on 70.118.102.247

Already broken on Yugoslav Wars. See 1 and 2. Blanked your notification here before the first revert, so he can't claim he didn't know. Meters (talk) 22:22, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Blocked for a period of one week. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 23:28, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

File:Capt MK Durrani.jpg

Can this file be deleted? You tagged it as {{keep local}} to test something in January and then tagged as {{NotMovedToCommons}} a month later. —innotata 01:23, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Well seeing as they've ignored the bug report for 7 months now, sure, why not? Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 01:46, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Shame

Shame on you - diff - Youreallycan 13:17, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

If you'd stop edit warring with other people on talk pages then you wouldn't have to deal with people like me saying you should be outright banned from them. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 13:49, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

People like you. - Youreallycan 13:53, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Do you think your recent edit warring was justified? Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 13:54, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

No edit of mine could possibly warrant me being banned as you desired - Youreallycan 14:02, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Please answer the question. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 14:08, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Shame on you - is not a question - Youreallycan 14:11, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Stop being coy. There is a question immediately above and you know what it is. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 14:12, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Anonymous tossers get what they deserve Youreallycan 14:15, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

You're still avoiding the question. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 14:17, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Cwobeel source distortion/edit war

I noticed that you warned Cwobeel about edit warring very recently on the Mitt Romney articl here.

Recently, he engaged in source distortion two times. See here for more info.

In between his first source distortion and the second, an editor included a "citation needed tag," another editor removed it with a different source that didn't support it either, so another editor removed that... So I'm not sure whether it constitutes edit war or not, but I'm almost positive it's serious source distortion. The edits were specifically made to write that it was a fundraiser, and the second time refs were specifically included to support this assertion, yet the refs don't make any mention of that at all.

Not sure what to do, but I notified you since you originally warned him, and maybe you can look whether it's edit warring or not, and whether it deserves a response. Thanks. --Activism1234 21:24, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

He's a new editor who joined last month, so I'm not saying he should be blocked for this, but maybe, if appropriate, a warning and temporary ban (1 week?) from Mitt Romney related articles, and by that time the issue should already be solved and he can edit with that off his back. Of course, that's completely up to you (and I don't even know whether you can do that or I need to take it to ANI), and you may feel he doesn't deserve that either. Just wanted to notify you, that's all. Thanks. --Activism1234 21:31, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Wait, where exactly was the distortion? You've just written me five paragraphs and didn't even tell me what was wrong with the additions. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 00:48, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

The third link, where I wrote "See here for more info" explains it in full. here Not such a big deal to me now though if you want to ignore it. --Activism1234 03:08, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

He claims it was an honest mistake (although I'm skeptical since his edit was made specifically to include refs). --Activism1234 03:09, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

I'm inclined to assume good faith and say if he claims it was an honest mistake, then to believe that. Only if it becomes a pattern should other activity be taken. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 15:50, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Ok sounds good. Thanks. --Activism1234 16:42, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Notification of RFC/U concerning Youreallycan

I'd like to notify you, as a previous blocking administrator, that I've initiated a Request for Comments/User concerning Youreallycan (talk · contribs). The RFC/U, which mentions your block, can be read at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Youreallycan. Prioryman (talk) 14:33, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Could I draw your attention to the comments posted at Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for comment/Youreallycan#Certification? Thanks in advance. Prioryman (talk) 00:01, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Clarification questions on "Move to Commons"

With others starting to move the "generic taxt/shape" logos to the Commons that I originally uploaded here, I thought it might be better (for tracking, in a sense) to do so myself first. But I need help with a particular situation. A file I will example is File:InsideTheActorsStudioLogo.png. I now have a decently higher quality version of this file with no background, and I would also rename the file putting spaces between the words. So even though it is the same logo, it would be an entirely different file and file name. Should I do something different on the English Misplaced Pages page to get this file deleted since CSD F8 would not qualify? It would, after all, soon end up orphaned anyway. What about the same situation of a higher quality/different logo but the file name didn't change? Please send me a talkback. Thanks. — CobraWiki 04:21, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Because you uploaded the file on English Misplaced Pages, you could simply tag it with {{db-self}}. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 04:32, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. That'll be much easier than I was expecting. — CobraWiki 06:23, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Congrats

The Flying Pig
Wow. Andrei.smolnikov (talk) 02:46, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
I'm not sure why you've given me a flying pig, and if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 05:22, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Deletion of User:ChrisO

I am not well versed on the proper procedure in these cases, so hopefully you can set me straight if I am wrong. However, his page was deleted due to a RTV, which he obviously failed to fulfill the requirements of. So I don't see how that qualifies as a G6. Also, possibly related, where are his contribs under that account now stored? Thanks in advance. Arkon (talk) 22:17, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

How did he fail to fulfill the requirements of RTV? I was simply trying to enforce the RTV. I admit I'm not as good at with RTV either, but it seems if someone has fulfilled the reuqirements and doesn't want their page to exist, we should honor that. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 22:25, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

RTV requires that the editor in question not return to editing. Arkon (talk) 22:26, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

But he hasn't made any edits. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 22:28, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

You do know Prioryman is ChrisO, correct? Arkon (talk) 22:29, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

I had no idea. I am assuming that you aren't committing WP:OUTING, so could I have the link? I will undelete. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 22:31, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Sure, one second, gotta dig through the sanctions pages. Arkon (talk) 22:32, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks! Arkon (talk) 22:38, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Though I still don't know if his contribs should be viewable or not. They didn't get moved to his new account. Any ideas on that one? Arkon (talk) 22:40, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Hmm. I don't feel quite comfortable commenting on that; suffice to say, they're not gone, and if you did your research well enough, you'd find them laying around. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 22:42, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Pretty sure they got moved to a vanished user account at some point, but as with the deletion, that should probably be reversed if that's the case, don't you think? Arkon (talk) 22:44, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Yikes! I plead the fifth. That's question with no right answer, both politically and morally. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 22:48, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, I honestly have no idea what's suppose to happen. Who do you think I should ask? Arkon (talk) 22:54, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
