Sorry to see you go

Hi.
We've never interacted before, but I saw your bot was blocked, and came here to look for answer; but saw that you've retired. I hope you come back someday. Regards, —usernamekiran(talk) 22:31, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Point #1 is a bit strong but clearly they have royally screwed up and are out of touch with policy and common sense. Education underway and if the nonsense continues they can be dealt with.

Point #2 I've not seen anything too unreasonable but maybe I missed something

Point #3 is bang on, but the wind is shifting as more reasonable editors realize what kind of scam a few editors are trying to pull to defeat G13 and the Wiki Way.

I'd sure welcome you back as one of the key people in draft space management. Legacypac (talk) 22:58, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

• (edit conflict) Saw your comment on the CSD page and am glad to see you still here. Hoping you stick around. It'd be a shame to lose you over this. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:31, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
  • I'm still gone, but god-damm! Disrupting Misplaced Pages to make a point in the middle of a already heated debate should be grounds for heavy sanctions. Hasteur (talk) 01:02, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
    • Honest to fuck I think my eyes bugged out. If the edits had been done today, I'd have blocked them for disruption instead of commenting, but they were a couple days ago and they haven't done any more "experiments" since then so it'd be a bit stale to block for. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 01:35, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Clarification?

Glad to see you're back. What are the facts that I can't get straight here? Sorry if it's something obvious I've missed, it's really late now and my brain might have gone on standby. – Uanfala (talk) 00:30, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

GORUCK

Hi Hasteur I think I have put my foot in it. Sorry. Do you want to give you a hand to fix your article? I'll can possibly find good references. scope_creep 13:47, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Nomination of GoRuck for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article GoRuck is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/GoRuck until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. HighKing 16:47, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Relationship to GoRuck

Someone pointed out that you once said you were "asked by the company" (GoRuck) to help develop an article about them on Misplaced Pages "so that we could potentially move to mainspace" and acknowledged that "there is a COI". Did that asking involve some potential form of payment? Do you have some close relationship with the company, or was this just in some arms-length casual email conversation? —BarrelProof (talk) 22:56, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

@BarrelProof: I was not paid for the editing. This was an arms length "Could you work on this please" type conversation. That is why I put it through AFC. Hasteur (talk) 01:21, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for the response. I have made a couple of adjustments of Talk:GoRuck to clarify the situation. Based on what you said, I wouldn't even consider that something that needed mentioning. —BarrelProof (talk) 20:33, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

September 2019

Please assume good faith in your dealings with other editors, which you did not do on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Coherency (homotopy theory). Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Misplaced Pages. Specifically, calling my comments "kibbitzing" is inappropriate (I'm as free as anyone else to participate in AfD discussions), as is accusing me of trying to "modify your intent". If you think I misunderstood something that you said, then please point that out, but comment on content, not contributors. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 02:30, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Abdel Aziz Mahmoud

I reverted your review of Draft:Abdel Aziz Mahmoud, since the draft is clearly in English, not Danish.--Auric talk 22:22, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Glad to see you didn't read and see the danish quote that was CV. Fine. G11 it goes. Hasteur (talk) 22:32, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Revive HasteurBot?

Since you are back, can you revive HasteurBot, specifically the task that sends pre-G13 notifications, and does G13 taggings? Thanks, SD0001 (talk) 10:27, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Use of old HTML Tags

Hello! I just wanted to give you a heads-up that I tweaked your comment at WP:AN per WP:LINT. Specifically, I removed <strike>...</strike> because it's an obsolete HTML tag, and used <s>...</s> to replace it. Obsolete HTML tags run the risk of creating readability issues in the near future when old HTML tags get retired from MediaWiki, so editors are trying to fix formatting issues whenever possible. Cheers! OhKayeSierra (talk) 05:07, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Apologies I've not done this earlier. I've now unblocked your bot. Good luck with the BRFA :)-- 5 albert square (talk) 21:56, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

DRN Clerk Bot

The clerk hasn't been updating case status for 48 hours. It may be stuck (maybe on a misformatted case?) Can you check on it? Robert McClenon (talk) 15:44, 21 October 2019 (UTC) @Robert McClenon: I gave it a swift kick in the nuts. While I was at it, I also converted it over to the better version of pywikibot so that it should be even more stand alone. Hasteur (talk) 21:17, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. Every now and then computers need that, as I learned in my 45 years with them. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:54, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Declined speedy deletion tags

Do not re-add declined speedy deletion tags. If deletion is legitimately needed, one might consider WP:MFD. WilyD 06:21, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Explanation

Just to be really clear about my revert: a generalized request for other editors to watch out for "non-constructive edits", separated from the locus of the dispute and not naming anyone, does not involve anything related to personal attacks and certainly not AGF. Extending your dispute farther, as your comment did, is pointless and unpleasant. If you want to chide Taku, do it somewhere other than WT:WPM -- there is no need to pollute yet another forum with the absurd arguing. Thanks. --JBL (talk) 11:49, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

@Joel B. Lewis: Taku non-neutrally canvassed and cast apsersions at the page. Directly in that location is the right place to call it out and request it be redacted. Your substitution of your personal feelings does not trump WP:TPG, Specifically refactoring other editors comments. Hasteur (talk) 11:52, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

You do not apparently understand what canvassing is, nor aspersions. I have no feeling about the underlying issue. Please stop extending your argument to WT:WPM, where it does not belong. I will absolutely continue to revert you until we are both blocked for edit-warring, if necessary, in order to keep this fight off WT:WPM. --JBL (talk) 11:56, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

See you at WP:EW since you and Taku are attempting to overrule WP:TPO Hasteur (talk) 11:57, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

You are welcome to report me anywhere you want; as long as you keep this fight off WT:WPM, I will be content. --JBL (talk) 11:58, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

You mean well

...but please back off. There's NO need for this situation with Taku and others to be so contentious/hostile. Buffs (talk) 20:36, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

• Leave Taku alone. Stop wikistalking him. If he moves these to userspace, what the hell is the problem? Buffs (talk) 01:23, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
  • @Buffs: The problem is, I've seen this exact damn playbook from him 4 times already. Ignore friendly advice, Get in trouble because someone has a policy reason to start taking harsh action with respect to his drafts, kowtow to whatever is needed to get the heat off (AN-Flu anyone?), return to the previous behavior that got them in trouble in the first place. Tiger don't change his stripes. Hasteur (talk) 01:26, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
    • I never said anything to the contrary about Taku. I'm ONLY talking about YOUR actions. Buffs (talk) 03:28, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Happy First Edit Day!

Have a very happy first edit anniversary!

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Misplaced Pages.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Regarding notification from your bot

Hi there, I received a notification from your bot regarding a page in draft space (Draft:Hollywood.con). In the wake of the somewhat ludicrous reaction to the creation of the original page I lost all interest in further engagement with it. Further, I am no longer editing on Misplaced Pages. I don't expect or need any response from you. This merely serves as notification that as far as I am concerned, the page can simply be deleted. Thanks. Cadar (talk) 00:44, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

DRN clerk bot 2nd request

Dear Hasteur, the DRN clerk bot doesn't seem to be updating the case status in {{DRN case status}}. Could you take a look at this? Thanks, MrClog (talk) 11:38, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

@Galendalia: Can you please point at what you think is wrong? The bot appears to be updating the template. Also you didn't need to send a Off WIki mail for this. Hasteur (talk) 17:54, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi it had been posted on your page for quite sometime by another edit and there was no response so I went to the next feasible option. It is not updating the case statues on the template. Here are the examples:

1. How it currently looks Template:DRN_case_status
2. How it should look at the moment Template:DRN_case_status/sandbox

Even though we have manually updated the DR case from blank to open or resolve, the status and coloring are not showing, as it shows all cases as 'new'. I hope this helps clear things up. Galendalia _{CVU Member} \ 18:03, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Hasteur, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)
