Misplaced Pages

Crap! I forgot to do that because of someone else's comment on this page who I was busy with... Thanks for the Edgard fix. I am no longer the leader of Esperanza, I have passed the buck to my good friend Essjay. I am too busy with other things at wikipedia, and if I do too much I may just burn out. Esperanza, there's not too much you can do to help, as there's not too much we need to do. You can feel free to comment at WP:ESP/P's talk page on what you think is good and what you think is bad. Stay in touch. Redwolf24 (talk) 23:09, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Re: MedCom Signpost

OK, that's fine with me. They've done a look for the MedCom, and I appreciate that; it's just that I felt that that subject was straying from the topic of the blurb. News and notes is intended to be concise, short paragraphs, and I really didn't see how WP:TINMC added to the blurb and didn't think it was relevant. But I don't mind either way — however, the final decision should rest with Ral, as 1) he wrote the article and 2) he's the editor-in-chief. Thanks, though!

No prob. Redwolf24 (talk) 23:09, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

I copyedited and reworded it somewhat. I agree now that TINMC is relevant; the way Ral worded it did not contribute to the topic, but the current version looks fine. In the future, you may want to save Ral the trouble and write the article yourself. :-) Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | W_S 23:13, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Fair use (last one, I promise)

Heya, I've removed the last few not-quite-fair-use images from your user page and status template, hope you don't mind. You might want to rephrase your status template (or even better, find a free groundskeeper willy image if such a beast exists), as it's a bit odd without the image. --fvw* 00:23, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

I missed the Fonzie pic. As for the McCondom it doesn't say fair use, and it looks like an amateur photograph, so chances are its GFDL. Redwolf24 (talk) 00:26, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Oops, right you are about McCondom, though I don't know how long that will last without a source. Thanks for your understanding. --fvw* 00:30, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Mechanics of Deletion Review

Hi. You were involved in the discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:Votes for undeletion#The scope of VfU which looked to establish a Deletion Review process in place of VfU. There is now a discussion about how we might construct the mechanics of such a process. The current proposal suggests that debates be relisted on AfD if there is a majority of editors wanting to overturn the debate (usually on procedural grounds) and that the alternative result be implemented if it is supported by three-quarters of editors. Please call by Misplaced Pages talk:Votes for undeletion/Deletion review proposal when you can to discuss. Thanks. -Splash 02:06, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, can't think of anything to suggest. Redwolf24 (talk) 02:20, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Being A Good Editor

Hey, I as you could possibly read from my userpage, am trying to be a good editor. From what you can see if you would care to look do you think I'm a pretty good editor, I think I'm an okay editor. I'm just trying to be better, like right now I'm beginning to write articles again, like I used to. I'm just wondering what you think of me, since I think of you as like "the big great editor". Private Butcher 02:31, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Also if you could give me a few tips on how to be a better editor, since I know I'm just an okay editor. That would be helpful, thanks. Private Butcher 02:46, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, I honestly haven't seen Red edit that much so I can't say too much of him as an editor, but he's a fantastic admin! Basically, you should try to get one article as good as you can over a couple of weeks, then send it to peer review (WP:PR). After a couple weeks to a month there when you think its ready send it to FAC (WP:FAC) - you'll get some harsh, but accurate and quite helpful criticism on how to improve your articles there and often at peer review. Ryan Norton 02:50, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

I'd second those comments, and remember to be kind to all users. Also, try to follow WP:1RR. Redwolf24 (talk) 02:55, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the help, I'm going to take your advice. Private Butcher 03:08, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Your Rogue Op Adminship Was Eaten By A Bear!

I couldn't figure out which barnstar to give you for your Ashida Kim blockage, so I figured -- when in doubt, go with hungry bears... Karmafist 04:33, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Ah no, I never blocked that account, I blocked an anonymous IP of his for 61 years for endangering Jimbo. Redwolf24 (talk) 04:34, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I blocked one of those accounts yesterday, and hand restored 1001 edits to Jimbo's page so the info wouldn't be in the history... -- Essjay · Talk 04:42, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

There, now I blocked him indefinitely. I am so rouge. Redwolf24 (talk) 04:43, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

But what to do about the Ashida Kim article? It still has all the info there! Shall it be speedied? -] _{04:44, 4 October 2005 (UTC)}

Why would you speedy the article in its current version? The only reason I can think of is if it is a hoax. But then, the diffs can be deleted, can't they? Titoxd 04:53, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

BartCop

Would you also agree that this: ] is vandalism? Can nothing be done to prevent this anon user OR sockpuppet, whichever, from popping in and vandalizing legitimate edits? Isn't the user guilty of the "3RR" rule? Curious..... Lone Odessan 07:39, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

There is discussion on the talk page over whether the addition is accurate or not. Until consensus develops over whether it is a legitimate addition or not, it should not be labeled as vandalism. It may, however, be removed to the talk page for continued discussion, and if it is continually re-added, the article can be locked. The three revert rule applies equally to all, but only applies to more than three reverts in a twenty-four hour period; that IP has only made three additions in a twenty four hour period, thus unless the information is removed and re-added in the next twelve hours or so, no 3RR will have occurred. Be aware, however, that since the text is under consideration (and thus not vandalism), if you remove it more than three times in twenty four hours, you will be equally guilty of 3RR. There are already three administrators in on the discussion: BMIComp, *fvw, & Hall Monitor, and I suggest you leave the administrative actions (3RR blocks, page protection) to them. -- Essjay · Talk 14:40, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Can we nominate?

Your Eminence,Cardinal of the Wiki-Catholic church,I have decided that we nominate Kappa as an admin.He or she is a really great helper to all and a good example.Please consider this offer.Tdxiang 11:12, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Kappa had a previous RfA in June that ended in no consensus, and one on September 29th that he declined; be sure to get his consent before nominating him. -- Essjay · Talk 14:11, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

closed discussions

Hey, do you have the link for any policy on closed discussions for Afd and such? Having an issue with another admin wanting to change a closed discussion. Dont' have time for an edit war, especially with another admin (much less think its worth it). Just couldn't find anything covering it, thought I read it before though. Thanks. ∞Who?¿? 19:42, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Closures that you don't agree with go to WP:VfU. Redwolf24 (talk) 23:07, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Yea, I know about VfU :) thanks. Actually I meant policy on other users editing previously closed discussions. But it's not a big deal now, I just needed info for future occurences. ∞Who?¿? 00:20, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Questions answered

As you requested, I've answered the questions in my RfA, so if you'd like to read my answers and change your Neutral vote to a Support or an Oppose, I'd appreciate it! (And if you have any additional questions for me, I'd be happy to answer.) - Brian Kendig 21:41, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Stephen John Sutton

Heya, could it be you closed Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Stephen John Sutton without deleting the article in question, or was it recreated and am I misreading the deletion log? --fvw* 01:51, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

I missed one! Taken care of. Redwolf24 (talk) 01:56, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! While you're being helpful, could you have a look at List of Australians in international prisons too, a new user (same one as the author of the page you just created but logged in I think) insists on inserting an external link to a campaign site there. --fvw* 02:02, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Bloody hell, I see I've broken the 3RR there, for shame. Feel free to enforce a 24h wikibreak if you feel it's appropriate. --fvw* 02:03, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Ohnoes!!! But yep, its fair. Both of you take a break :) Redwolf24 (talk) 02:08, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Haha! If anything all these AfD's have gotten new members for them. Redwolf24 (talk) 03:34, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Ehm, I'm assuming it wasn't a good faith nomination, considering the username (User:Dick Stalman=Richard M. Stallman). --fvw* 03:45, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

That is, that's the username. I'm not claiming it was actually RMS nominating it. --fvw* 03:45, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

I don't think that the username was referring to that, as Richard M. Stallman isn't too famous, and it doesn't seem like a rare name. However I DO think it was a bad faith nom. Redwolf24 (talk) 03:47, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

You don't? GNAA=slashdot trolls. One of slashdot's strong focuses is linux. I think we've had a few vandal/troll accounts named after him before. --fvw* 03:52, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

arbcom

Are you sure you want to run for arbcom? I mean you're the chair of the mediation comittee and so much other stuff! Just don't want you to get overloaded :). You have my support of course :). Ryan Norton 03:49, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, that's probably going to overload you. On other news, if you're going to run for Esperanza's Advisory Committee, you might want to add your name to the list, because it's not there anymore (it was removed when you crossed it out). Titoxd 04:56, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Stephen Sutton article

Hi Redwolf24,

Thank you for your assistance earlier today.

I am now composing a proper article for Stephen John Sutton. I have read the guidelines for 'your first Misplaced Pages entry.'

I noticed that some other people have attempted to make an entry about Sutton in the past, but these articles were deleted. I am unable to see what was written in the past. I do not wish to make the same mistakes.

Sutton is noteworthy because it is probable that he was targeted to become an unwitting drug mule because of a mental impairment. He had a brain tumour removed at age 15 which left him with a simple and over-trusting nature. He has an inordinate desire to please others and was known to go to unusual lengths in this pursuit. Sutton was working in Sydney, Australia and it is believed he met a Peruvian girl at his place of employ. Stephen wound up in Peru, living with the Peruvian girl and her family. Stephen sent a letter to his sister in Australia indicating that he was in Peru and that the girl's family were treating him well. On 4 September 2003, Stephen was arrested in Argentina (with no drugs in his possession), and was charged with drug trafficking. His sister found out about the arrest through an Australian TV news report. Australian consular officials (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade - DFAT) have since been difficult and evasive with his family in Australia. DFAT have not provided appropriate medical care and legal asistance to Stephen. He is known to have medical problems which require urgent care.

Is this enough justification for a Misplaced Pages entry? Am I on the right track?

Thanks again for your assistance. --Diana Elgar 05:19, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi!

hi redwolf24 umm..well, first, I'm a new user. I came across your userpage somehow, and just decided to write to you. Well, actually the thing is that, I have just written my first article..on Igor Andreev..and I just wanted someone to look at it and let me know if I've gone about the right way. I'll be really obliged if you could look at the page once. Thanks a ton! --Aabha R 14:07, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

It is pretty good; I fixed up one or two stylistic problems, but other than that it looks good to me. Well done. (BTW: you should probably set up a user page. Red links make people nervous and a wee bit suspicious.) --Maru (talk) 15:11, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for having a look, and replying. Appreciate it! And thanks for the tip about the user page! Aabha R 19:42, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Chris Floyd

hi. it looks like you did a move

04:06, 3 October 2005 Redwolf24 m (Chris Floyd - Empire Burlesque moved to Chris Floyd)

the move had been requested but the article's creator (who also requested the move) went ahead and made a new article at Chris Floyd that, in our opinions, had looked much better. is there any way to get that version back? Nateji77 16:25, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
