User talk:Razorflame/Archive 2
Seeking adoption?Are you still seeking adoption? because it seems you're rather comfortable with wiki? Just thought I would ask, as I've been doing housekeeping of the Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user category. xenocidic (talk) 18:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Re: your questionIt doesn't really matter who changes it, I just wanted to take you out of the "seeking adoption" cat. So you can go ahead and change it to "adopted" if you like, or I'm sure Useight will once he's back online. xenocidic (talk) 16:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
It's pretty good. It's very well referenced, it's neutral, and it uses an encyclopedic voice. I would recommend, though, breaking it into two paragraphs, keeping related content together. As one paragraph, it's kind of long and looks like a wall of text. Useight (talk) 20:19, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
AdminshipHere's a list of some policies you'll want to know, all from Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list
On a more personal note, I'd also point you towards User:Useight/Helps, a page I created which links to a whole bunch of policies, and other things I found helpful when starting out. And yes, it's an original creation, so if you think it's good, I get all the credit, and if you think it's pointless and ugly, then it's my fault. Useight (talk) 21:37, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Your userpage and WikiProjectsI like the style of your userpage, but it's a little too green, I think. Perhaps tone the color down a little bit. As for WikiProjects, give me a couple minutes and I'll take a look. Useight (talk) 18:06, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Archival BotYou know, I have no idea about that. Perhaps you can find someone's talk page that is auto-archived and ask them. If I find anything, I'll let you know.

User Page updateTook care of that - thanks for the reminder. I can't seem to get any of the edit counters to agree on an exact # - some count deleted contribs, some don't; generally they just seem to stop completely or give bizarre #s! SkierRMH (talk) 01:56, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
RollbackI honestly don't know if you can nominate someone, or if they have to nominate themselves. You probably want to read WP:ROLLBACK (heck, I probably need to read it as well just for future reference). Any particular reason why you think I deserve to have this permission? I mean, I'm flattered that you would nominate me (if you can nominate someone). BIGNOLE (Contact me) 01:58, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Another excellent article. The only thing I can think of to improve it is that the term "anandite" might need to be lowercase when used in the middle of a sentence. But I'm not sure. Useight (talk) 04:22, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Stop reverting pleaseStop reverting. The one who make changes in User:KyleRGiggs/Sandbox is me. The reason I use a IP is due to loss of my account, or should say the account has been hijacked. I have reported the problem to Deryck Chan, an administrator and he reported it to a bureaucrat Taxman. If you keeps reverting, I think I would write down the editor's name at the summary. Thanks.

HuggleYou'll have to wait for User:Gurch to e-mail you back with an attachment. You'll have to unzip it and run the executable. You will also need Microsoft Framework 2.0, I believe it is. Sometimes he takes awhile to e-mail. Useight (talk) 22:27, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Rfb participation thanksHello, Mike. I wanted to personally thank you for taking part in the project-wide discussions regarding my candidacy for bureaucratship. After bureaucratic discussion, the bureaucrats decided that there was sufficient significant and varied opposition to my candidacy, and thus no consensus to promote. Although personally disappointed, I both understand and respect their decision, especially in light of historical conservatism the project has had when selecting its bureaucrats. I wanted to especially thank you for your detailed support rationale; I truly appreciate your kind words. If you have any further suggestions or comments as to how you think I could help the project, please let me know. Once again, thank you for your support. -- Avi (talk) 17:57, 12 May 2008 (UTC) QuadrupleYou reverted my edit to The Quadruple and called it vandalism, which it wasn't. I explained the reasons for my edit in the summary, if you only have 3 trophies at a time then it certainly isn't a Quadruple, the only possible way you could get an International Quadruple would involve the Olympics. - 88.107.127.107 (talk) 18:19, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Re: HuggleHey, Razorflame :) Yes, I do think that huggle is a wonderful tool myself. The only problem with it is that sometimes you can unwillingly make false positives due to the nature of huggle's reverting process. Also, huggle misses some fast-access templates (like uw-joke and uw-delete). Elsewhat, huggle is much better and much faster to reverting than twinkle. Cheers, AVandtalkcontribs 19:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC) WP:HAU and HuggleExcellent, we can always use more people at HAU. As for Huggle, I just recently began using it myself (I figured since I had topped 10,000 manual edits, I could try a script). Just be careful while using it, don't get too trigger happy and revert without thinking or mistakes will me made. I've more than once had to undo my reversion after taking another moment and thinking about it. And mistakes using Huggle will ding you at RFA just like a regular mistake would, so be sure to use it carefully. And don't let it dominate your edits completely. If you go into RFA and your last 1000 edits were all via Huggle, people won't like that. Useight (talk) 20:34, 12 May 2008 (UTC) Hi, I would like to ask for a favor, if you don't mind.

So would you please try to help? diego_pmc (talk) 21:09, 12 May 2008 (UTC) I copyedited a bit of the article for you, but I am unable to do the whole article at this time (it is quite long).

Reverting page blankingI notice you reverted the blanking William Vendice several times this morning. Those reverts restored material which was a copyvio, and the author of the page was the person who blanked it. Please check the history of pages before reverting them, and if a page is blanked by its only or main contributor, add {{db-g7}} instead of reverting it back. Thanks!

Admins unblocking themselvesNo. No unblocking themselves. Admins do have the technical measures to do that, but if they do, they'll almost assuredly lose their adminship. Useight (talk) 05:10, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Your RfA voteI just wanted to comment on the !vote you made here. Two things you should note: it's usually not seen as a problem if an admin candidate isn't doing much vandal work. There are so many different things to help out with on the project, and quite frankly, there are tons and tons of vandal fighters, and 99.9% of their work doesn't need tools. Second, you state "If you don't combat vandalism, then there is no need for the protection tool or the block tool.", this isn't quite accurate. There are many reasons to block that have nothing to do with vandalism, i.e. gross incivility. There are many reasons to protect that have nothing to do with vandalism, i.e. "good faith" edit warring. You might want to check up on WP:BLOCK and WP:PROTECT on your own, or discuss further with your admin coach. These are very important policies to understand if you want to be an admin. Also, you an of course ask me any questions you have on this. Gwynand | Talk•Contribs 15:58, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 17:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
CoachingThanks for the reminder, I noticed earlier that you had answered them, but then got swamped by other things and forgot to go back. I'll add my comments there now. Useight (talk) 01:53, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Editing paceDude, I just noticed that you've already clocked in 2700 edits this month. And we're only 3 days in. That rate will put you at almost 30,000 this month alone. Don't wear yourself out. Useight (talk) 02:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Re. Barnstar!Heh, thank you so much for the barnstar, Razorflame. :-) Lately I've been getting quite a few of these Barnstars of Good Humor, I wonder if I should be editing Uncyclopedia instead. :-P Naaah. ;-) Best regards, Húsönd 22:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Co-nominationLooks like you were given permission to co-nom. For some tips on writing that co-nom, take a look at User:Balloonman/How to nominate somebody for RfA, but there isn't a whole lot there specifically for the co-nominator. Since you're not the original nominator, you'll want to keep your nomination shorter. Focus on Cometstyles' good points, which in my cursory glance seem to be his focus on the mainspace, his experience in the Wikipedia namespace and his communication with others. I'm sure you have more experience with Cometstyle than me, so perhaps you know some finer points. If he has some great examples of things that you could show in diffs, such as remaining calm in the face of adversity, don't hestitate to link to diffs or conversations. And someone has to point out his 1000+ edits to AIV. Useight (talk) 02:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
rfa thanks!hey razor, I just wanted to thank you for participating in my RFA. also, you may be interesting in checking out my in-depth RFA analysis (comments welcome). i've also left some templated thank spam for you below. happy editing, xenocidic (talk) 13:33, 5 June 2008 (UTC) templated rfa thank-spam
![]() I would like to thank the community for placing their trust in me during my recent request for adminship, which passed 72 To my fellow admins - please let me know right away if I ever take any mis-steps with my new tools. Should I make a mistake, and you reverse the action, I will not consider it to be wheel-warring (but please tell me so I can understand what I did wrong). To everyone - please feel free to slap me around a bit if I ever lose sight of the core philosophy of Wikipedia as I understand it - the advancement of knowledge through the processes of mutual understanding and respect. As always, feel free to drop by my talk page if I can be of any assistance. =)
Re: Barnstarheh, thanks for the barnstar... As you
CopyeditsHi... you did a great job with Twillingate so I was wondering if you could look at one or two (or all) of these articles: Grand Falls-Windsor, Newfoundland and Labrador, Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. Thanks. NeonFire (talk) 23:00, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
My Rfa
Admin coachingIt's been a pleasure helping you out. I'm sure our paths will cross again in the future. You may end up being the last person I coach, since coaching seems to be falling out of favor with a lot of editors. I don't know. Regarding my RFB, you forgot to sign your comment and you used a bullet instead of an octothorp, so you may want to reformat it a little. Would I have had a better chance of passing in a few months? Perhaps, but the bureaucrats are short-handed now, so I ran. If, sometime in the future, at least 6 months from now, if they still have a lot on their plate, I'll run again, if not, I won't. Useight (talk) 23:40, 9 June 2008 (UTC) DeletedMikettg (talk · contribs), Dear User Razorflame, Yesterday I created a new page - George Panayotis, only to discover it was deleted today by user Hu12 with claims of blatant advertising...Mr Panayotis is a respected figure in both the Greek and French communities, and indeed a high-profiled figure in the hospitality and tourism industry around the world. He works both on radio and television, and is on the advisory board to the French Ministry of Economy, among other notable positions. I clearly referenced many of his attributes on the page, which are all credible sources. I will not even refer you to the tens of thousands of other bio pages, which could very well be categorised in the same way, but have sustained their right to be listed on Wikipedia. Please explain what we must do to have the page re-posted. Thanking you kindly (Mikettg (talk) 07:42, 12 June 2008 (UTC))
My RFBThank you for your comments in my RFB. Since it was only at 64%, it was a shoo-in to be unsuccessful, so I withdrew. I didn't want it to run until its scheduled close time because my intent in standing for RFB was to help the bureaucrats with their workload, not give them one more RfX to close. Through the course of my RFB, I received some very valuable feedback, some of it was contradictary, but other points were well agreed upon. I have ceased my admin coaching for now to give me time to revamp my method. I don't want to give up coaching completely, but I'm going to find a different angle from which to approach it. As for my RFA Standards, I am going to do some deep intraspection. I wrote those standards six months ago and I will slowly retool them. This will take some time for me to really dig down and express what I want in an admin candidate. If, after some serious time of deep thought, I don't find anything to change in them, I'll leave them the way they are. I'm not going to change them just because of some community disagreement as to what they should be. Will I stand for RFB again in the future? I don't know. Perhaps some time down the road, when my tenure as an administrator is greater than one year, if there is a pressing need for more active bureaucrats, maybe. If there no pressing need, then maybe not. Useight (talk) 03:14, 13 June 2008 (UTC) joining the ranks of the admins![]() Copy edits and the massive backlogHey there! I'm sending you this because I noticed you were active in the former league of copy-editors. I joined the LOCE something like a few days before it became historical, and have been making a lonely effort to reduce the copy-edit backlog, so I've been curious - why did the LOCE close, are there any efforts going on out there to reduce the copy-edit backlog, and do you think there's a point in establishing (and would you join) a wikiproject purely to maintain the category of articles needing copy edits? I've been having a hard time getting people on related projects (WP:PR, WP:GAN, etc) to help with the backlog, so I'm trying to gather suggestions or help regarding starting a project simply to maintain the category of articles needing copy edit. Thanks! ;) --Samuel Tan (talk) 13:43, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Cheers, Razorflame 22:27, 7 July 2008 (UTC) Can you help?I see you were listed as a participant in the League of Copy-Editors so it seems likely you can ... The thing is the Military history wikiproject urgently needs prose pros to help with our best articles. Milhist covers a broad range of interesting and varied subjects from film to biography, battles to weaponry, and Roman emperors to twentieth-century dictators. In Milhist, A-Class has become the last port of call before FAC and we are looking for people to help identify prose and MoS issues at A-Class A-Class Reviews and help fix them prior to featured article candidacy. We also have a copy-editing section in our Logistics Dept and that can always use experienced copy-editors. For most of our articles, you don't need to be a specialist in the subject matter, just good with words. If you think you can help, please do! Thanks for your time, --ROGER DAVIES talk 04:20, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Ayyavazhi - Copy Edit HelpSir, I found you from the LOCE page. Iam a non-native english editor in Wikipedia and so my English is not well enough to write an article in FA standard. For over several months I've worked in the Ayyavazhi article and've brought it to the present level. The article has also been nominated for FAC and GA but failed. The most important among few reasons is the writen language (low standard english). The other reason then was the citations and now it was rectified. By now the only problem, if exist, may be the 'written language' which may be cleared out by a copy-edit from a good copy-editor well-versed in English. To be noted, The article also was requested for copy-edit in the LOCE page and was over there for nearly 1 year. But no one did it. Later the request was archived. I wish to nominate the article for FAC. I've seen your user page and noted you could be able to write with proffesional level in English. I feel it will be very much helpful if you can help me. I kindly request you to do the Copy-edit work in the article and very much request you to give your suggestions for promoting it to FAC level. Also I request to be patient while copy-editing because there are too many citations (foot notes) in the article and so while editing in edit box it may confuse you. Thanks - PAUL RAJ 19:18, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
WP:HAU, Status, and you!As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible) system - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 22:47, 8 July 2008 (UTC) RFA thankspamThanks for your support in my RFA, which passed with 140 supporting, 11 opposing, and 4 neutral. I will do my best to live up to the trust that you have given to me. If I can ever assist you with anything, just ask. Cheers! J.delanoygabsadds 20:22, 27 July 2008 (UTC) Thanks for recent guidanceThanks for the comments and removing my signature from the article pages (British Ambassadors to Portugal). I didn't know. Won't do it again and will try to read the material on editing. In a list like that, are references appropriate? I could have put in the specific Times articles with dates, but did not know whether that would have been overkill?--FurnaldHall (talk) 21:46, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
Copyedit requestWould you mind re-copyediting the geography section of Twillingate, Newfoundland and Labrador? I made some edits and the wording could be a bit better. I'd really appreciate that. NeonFire (talk) 02:21, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Wikiproject RomaniaHi, I would like to ask you whether you would like and have time to asses some articles for the wikiproject Romania. The pages are the biographies of the Romanian gymnasts included in the Category:Romanian artistic gymnasts. If you don't have time to do it could you please indicate me what could I do to get the articles assessed? Can I asses them myself? (I have made contributions and started the majority of the pages from that category, it seems to me that it's not so fair to asses the pages I started). Lulubon (talk) 15:27, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
