WP:ANI

I may be a little dim, but I have no idea what you are talking about... --D_arkF_alls 06:26, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

It was I who was a little dim and used the wrong name. I meant to refer to the initiator of the discussion. I changed my entry. Thanks for pointing that out. ((1 == 2) ? (('Stop') : ('Go')) 13:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

By the way...

Thanks. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 12:41, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Username

Hi. Your username intrigues me... what does it mean? Regards, Navou 00:27, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

In programming, you can put a block of code in a conditional loop. In this case the the condition is to continue until 1 is equal to 2. It is just a smart ass way of asking for an infinite loop in code. ((1 == 2) ? (('Stop') : ('Go')) 02:52, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Quite an original name then. So what do you mean with it? That you will remain on Misplaced Pages until eternity? Or is it a reference to a certain program? Melsaran (talk) 15:30, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

It symbolizes stubbornness tempered by logic. ((1 == 2) ? (('Stop') : ('Go')) 15:35, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

new AIV count tool

I just noticed that you're working on a block percentage estimator for AIV reports. I know that prior to becoming an admin, I made several comments on existing AIV reports and also had to fix malformed reports (both my own and from others) that could be seen as generating a low block percentage. I figure of the ~450 edits to AIV I had, probably 300-350 were unique reports, and the rest were tweakings/comments. I also know of only one report I made that was rejected. Do you think there is a way your tool could account for this? For example, would it be possible to only count major edits to AIV? Just some random thoughts. -- Flyguy649 _contribs 16:34, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

It currently only looks at edits that add or remove one of the vandal templates. I have a long way to go in getting the program to detect errors. The final version will provide a series of diffs to confirm its findings and give a warning about false findings. ((1 == 2) ? (('Stop') : ('Go')) 16:45, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

I have done up a report at User:Until(1 == 2)/sandbox to find what types of mistakes it is making. I need to add a routine to ignore it when the subject of the report removes it, and I need to detect blatant vandalism such as page blanking. It looks like 13 of the reports were removed, and 15 are false positives. Once I have it detect the subject removing it and page blanking that should go down to 13 correct, 2 false. ((1 == 2) ? (('Stop') : ('Go')) 17:23, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

It looks like it's a good tool. It's useful to see what's happened to users reported to AIV. -- Flyguy649 _contribs 17:43, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

For What?

Why did you tag the image of the goth kids in List of students at South Park Elementary for speedy deletion? It's been up for months and months and months before, and no one ever had any issues with it. I must repeat: What was it for? Wilhelmina Will 03:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Now I see you did the same for Lizzy and Bebe's images. I still don't see why. Especially not with Bebe's; I think that image has existed in Misplaced Pages even longer than the Goth kids' image. Wilhelmina Will 03:48, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

We have policies relating to non-free content, see WP:NFCC. They are lacking a fair use rational. The fact that it has been lacking such a rational for a long time only makes it more important to get one or remove the image. ((1 == 2) ? (('Stop') : ('Go')) 04:12, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Image and GFDL at WP:VPP

You may wish to comment at Misplaced Pages:Village pump (policy)#Image GFDL revokation. My comment is that while a user can not revoke GFDL, it may be easier to just delete the image in this case since it is unused. -- Flyguy649 _contribs 04:19, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Gunshy

I'm getting gunshy. What would you think about speedy tags on Global College and Friends World Program? -- Ben 21:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

My first impression is that is was a copyvio, but I cannot find any of it on google. I am not sure if it actually makes any claim of notability. Either way there should not be 2 nearly identical versions, one should redirect to the other, and the other should be AfD'd or possibly CSD#A7'd, not sure which one to be honest, it is a tough call. ((1 == 2) ? (('Stop') : ('Go')) 22:04, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to stew over it for a minute. I just realized that I forgot to ask you the most important part... Is Global College just a recreation of what you had deleted earlier? I don't know how to check that. If it is... then this seems like a really simple G11 on both. Or G4/G11. -- Ben 22:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah, good question. It was deleted by me due to an uncontested {{prod}}. Thus in that respect it is fair game for recreation. I can tell you that the two versions are substantially different. The original version was basically in the style of an advertising pamphlet. The current one, while still having its problems, is substantially better.

If I came across a CSD tag on this article while deleting CSD articles, I would probably just leave it for someone else to decide. ((1 == 2) ? (('Stop') : ('Go')) 23:53, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your time. :) -- Ben 01:14, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

That thing we were discussing

Look at this! And wheel-warring over the semi-protection of his talkpage.--Porcupine (prickle me!) 07:08, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I've filed an RfC/USER now.--Porcupine (prickle me!) 07:45, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I tried to talk to him, but did not get much of a response. I still welcome a reasonable discussion with him in this matter. ((1 == 2) ? (('Stop') : ('Go')) 14:16, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Check your emails for an update.--Porcupine (prickle me!) 15:43, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I have a program that lets me know when I have a new e-mail, thanks. ((1 == 2) ? (('Stop') : ('Go')) 15:48, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Wow

I replied with more on my talk page, but I just have to say, what an excellent job you did with creating that tool! Seriously, that's most impressive, and I'm sure will be of great value to others as well. Thank you for running it on me! 06:28, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

me next me next!! :P ~Eliz81 06:49, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Awww, thanks for running that for me! And my is the percentage precise: 6.74157303370786%. Thanks for creating such a cool tool. ~Eliz81 07:10, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

*cough* Me...next? *ingratiating smile* Into The Fray /C 11:22, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

LOL Look what I started! You'll need a bot to handle all the requests before you know it, ~*Grin*~. Still, I have to say it again, this is one of the coolest scripts (and a highly useful tool as a learning device) I've seen here, and while I may do userpages, I sure don't know how to code like this stuff! I'm seriously impressed. And, I hope you don't get tired of all the requests that will surely come your way now that the secret is out! (Can we blame Flyguy? Lol) 13:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I cannot automate it until I fix some problems with accuracy. I have to hand tweak the results sometimes when it gets false hits. ((1 == 2) ? (('Stop') : ('Go')) 13:17, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

heh. My turn! :) pwease!  — Timotab 14:09, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

maniacal laughter and it could probably be adapted for other types of reports like RFPP, UAA... :) ~Eliz81 15:34, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

In time... ((1 == 2) ? (('Stop') : ('Go')) 15:35, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

It's fabulous. I had done that by hand in the past. And, unlike Ariel, I don't track it as I go. I go back through my reports to AIV and, one by one, compare their block log against my AIV report. A tool is entirely more helpful. Thank you very much. Into The Fray /C 17:48, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Your message

Thank you for taking the trouble to let me know your views, but I don't share them. And I'm surprised you can spare a finger for wagging at me, but nothing for Tony Sidaway. That seems... parsimonious. Bishonen | talk 22:53, 3 October 2007 (UTC).
