Happy camping! (but no excuses, now that you're equipped)[edit]

Yeah, have fun! The Rambling Man (talk) 12:58, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just realized how persistently annoying animated images will be when some clown posts them on your talk page. Can the chair. A tree stump will do. ---Sluzzelin talk 13:26, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No way! I love the chair. Besides, it won't give me piles. --Dweller (talk) 15:41, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edwards Coaches[edit]

Thank for your comments - I have replied on my talk page. Mhockey (talk) 15:53, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bradman[edit]

Saw your comment on Sandy's talk page. I wouldn't worry about Bradman and the main page. There's still over a month to go, and if you put it on now, you'll have Sandy sniping about the "maturity" of editors. As six points will trump at any time for sure, just wait a bit. Enjoy your wikibreak.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:57, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Snipe" at Dweller? I don't think so. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:11, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
God forbid! :)--Wehwalt (talk) 17:17, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think we need to continue refining the process, even at the expense of instruction creep, because it's not right yet - this being a good example of a problem. When it's right, we can try making the instructions more elegant. --Dweller (talk) 09:24, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Somehow I missed the yellow bar...[edit]

Hope you see this before you leave...

Thanks for nominating me, I really don't think I would have come close to passing, let alone be in the place I am now, unless someone with your contribution habits had nominated me. Many, many people seem to have an incurable fear of non-content admin candidates, and I honestly think that a lot of the supports I got were based on the strength of your nomination. Have a good time on your trip, and thanks again! J.delanoygabsadds 17:54, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edwards Coaches[edit]

I found some references for Edwards Coaches, including a newspaper story about how the company has become the first Welsh company to win the UK Coach of the Year title, and added the new references to the article.

RFA Thanks[edit]

Thank you for participating in my RfA, Dweller!
I am grateful for your confidence: My RfA passed by a count of 64/3/3, so I am now an administrator! Of course, I plan to conduct my adminship in service of the community, so I believe the community has a right to revoke that privilege at any time. Thus, I will be open for recall under reasonable circumstances. If you have any advice, complaints, or concerns for me, please let me know. Thanks again! Okiefromokla questions? 21:34, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RfA Thanks[edit]

Thank you for participating in my RfA, wich was successful with 73 support, 6 oppose, and 5 neutral.

I'll try to be as clear as I can in my communication and to clear some of the admin backlog on images.

If there is anything I can help you with, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page!

Cheers, --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 15:08, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RFA thankspam[edit]

Hey Dweller,

I really want to thank you for nominating me for adminship. I'll do my best to live up to the trust that you gave me. If I can ever be of any assistance to you, don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers!

RFA thank-you[edit]

Thank-you for your support of me at my recent RFA, which was successful. I have appreciated everyone's comments and encouragement there. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:46, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's it...[edit]

...holiday over. Welcome back dude. I've missed you. Plenty to say. Give me a shout when you get back. Hope you're (all of you) good. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:38, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, well take your time and welcome back again. You were worried by Spurs? What about scraping a draw at home against Col U last night?! The Rambling Man (talk) 09:45, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, fair. Mr Evans is very enigmatic. But a very good businessman so I would question why he'd buy a second-rate football club unless he had plans to make money out of it (unless he's a closet budgie in which case....)... Time will tell - we've been more active in the transfer market than for the last three seasons put together and it appears we're not finished yet. I'm mildly encouraged by that, and the fact we've kept hold of most of our decent players... The Rambling Man (talk) 12:47, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and if you'd be kind enough to do me a favour, can you have a look at the current User:Sarumio situation - I gave him a final (non templated) warning and I'd just like to know if you think it's reasonable. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:50, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I'll wait to see how he reacts to the warnings and diffs I've provided and go from there. Cheers dude. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:19, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Check out the contributions of a relatively new user, User:LucianoTheLucian. Hmmmmmmmmmm......? The Rambling Man (talk) 13:42, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm not going for CU at all right now - in fact, if you read the criteria for that, if it's obvious, then CU is inappropriate anyway. I don't think this could be any more obvious... This is effectively sock-puppet abuse for edit-warring. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:49, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Remember one time there was an IP editing similarly, who finished all his sentences with an exclamation mark? Hmm... The Rambling Man (talk) 14:11, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Braddle's duck[edit]

Check it. Sure you've seen it already.... The Rambling Man (talk) 16:57, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Or possibly you've seen this--Wehwalt (talk) 00:21, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to unprotect it, or just wait 5 days and it expires. The only reason I set it for so long is the fact that it is a BLP, and we really don't need any trouble on them. - Rjd0060 (talk) 14:36, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course. - Rjd0060 (talk) 14:52, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest AFD is appropriate - there's a notability claim in there. --Dweller (talk) 14:13, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bradman at TFA/R[edit]

You've got a spot, but need to finish the request at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:07, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good times, I nearly cried...[edit]

Momentous. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

Thanks for your concern vis a vis the Contras article. After a week or so I stopped paying attention to the mediation. To be honest, I had so many issues with the writing of the article that I didn't know where to begin. The article has been completely transformed from when I and other editors had hashed out a good article a year or so ago. I'm not convinced it's worth my time to start the process all over again only to see the article degrade again in a few months. I don't want to babysit the article. MarkB2 Chat —Preceding undated comment was added at 04:06, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

my RfA[edit]

Yeah, I don't see it succeeding at this time either, but there is some good feedback in there. As for discouragement, nope. Thanks for the feedback. Is there anything I can do to persuade you to move to a !vote of support or at least neutral? — BQZip01 — talk 03:02, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keith Miller push to FA[edit]

I've been taking a bit of a break from the FT project, but I'm ready to push on. I see that (since I abandoned it for Bradman a few months back) thanks to your efforts, Miller's article is in great shape. Shall we get it over the finish line? I've started a c-e to get what's there polished and add any cn tags needed. Next step, cite it all and then check it's comprehensive. Sounds OK? --Dweller (talk) 09:47, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, although I might be busy for a while becuase all the swimming articles are being swamped with messy edits and vandalism every day after the swimming finals. Also, because the main article and the forks are very similar I think it would be efficient for you to copyedit them in tandem since, the main article was forked to make it smaller and it is just a pruned down version of the uncut info in the subarticles. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 08:57, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. I'm on it. There's a number of posts at the talk page that I don't know if you've spotted... --Dweller (talk) 09:55, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're better off copying all the problems to me becuase sometimes I miss talk page posts with my articles being so quiet and owned by default. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:42, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
and also about the pruning, yeah it would be good for a third party to have a look because I am a bit attached. I would say the military section needs to be pruned down because he isn't famous for being a successful pilot, but mainly because of all the incidents that made him such a distinct personality. Maybe I've overemphasised this, but because Miller is so important I left all those incidents in there. Same for early life I guess. All of those are already in the subarticle so we don't lose anything. Secondly, nobody's going to kill us if the article is around the 80k mark - it's currently 85k - there've been some longer Wikipedia talk:Featured article statistics. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:47, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I think directly usertalk messaging me is the way to go. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:48, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

another thing, Bill Brown (cricketer) is ready as far as content goes, I guess your fresh eyes on the prose and the technical wikilinks would be great. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:57, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chickasaw Turnpike[edit]

I doubt it has 3 points—all I can see is 1 point because of September 1 being the 17th anniversary of its opening. I do think the points system is rather unfair since I feel this stuff should only be taken into account when two articles are competing for the same day on the main page and shouldn't be made to have articles from different dates competing against each other for points. —Scott5114 [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 06:57, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps we're approaching the problem from the wrong direction. Do you think it would be possible to redesign the main page requests system in such a way that Raul's involvement in the scheduling is handled by the community instead? Not saying anything bad about the man, my involvement with him has always been positive, but perhaps we could find a way to have the community build the calendar and all Raul needs to do is pick articles for any blank spots we are unable to fill. That would free him up to do other work and then the 5 article limitation wouldn't be an issue. I'm not really familiar with the TFA backstory or any of the discussions that may have gone on in the past so I'm not sure if this is possible or even desirable or not. —Scott5114 [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 10:11, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the 5 article limit seems to me to be the root cause of a lot of the problem there; the point system makes authors of poor-scoring articles (such as mine) feel as if our articles are completely unwelcome on the main page. (This was in stark contrast to when I nominated another one of my articles for the main page, Kansas Turnpike; there was a discussion, everyone generally agreed it was a good idea, and then when the day came it was on the main page.) Now we have all the articles having to compete against each other for one of those five slots, so my article will probably be left out because of its low point score. I could accept my article being beaten out by an article also nominated for September 1 which has higher points than mine. That's the way it goes. But in the current (and proposed) system, none of the other articles competing for the five slots would likely be nominated for September 1. So the slot I wanted to put my article in would still be open yet I would be denied use of it, being blocked out by some other article which had higher points but was nominated for some other day. This is the problem I have with the process as it stands. —Scott5114 [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 10:32, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Norwich stats?[edit]

Hi Dweller,

I'm having yet another go at trying to get Steve Bruce up to FA quality, something I seem to regularly start off doing only to then wander off onto something else :-) This time round I've added in a career stats table, with data taken from since1888.co.uk, but as that's a pay site I'd really prefer to find alternative free sources for all the data, which I've managed to do for all his clubs bar NCFC. Soccerbase's season-by-season records don't go back that far, so I was wondering if there was any website/book which gave that level of detail for NCFC stats? Any help you were able to offer would be hugely appreciated :-)

Many thanks and all the best -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:54, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. I've got a copy of Canary Citizens (extensively cited in the Norwich City F.C. FAs) that I can dig out that should have his career stats in it. I'll try and remember to do it. Nudge me? --Dweller (talk) 12:59, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That'd be awesome, cheers - the stats are already in the article so it would just be a case of adding the refs. Thanks once again! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:51, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks for the refs. The stats came originally from since1888.co.uk, which is a complete statistical database of every player ever to play in the Football League, but it's also a subscription site, hence why I was looking to find alternative sources. As it happens I'm visiting my parents next week, so I'll see if any of my Rothmans from that era are still lying around at their house. Cheers once again, and have a good weekend -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:45, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quiet[edit]

Hey dude. Sorry. Yeah, I've been snowed under a little IRL and have had a few visa issues to contend with for forthcoming trip which have been mind-numbing. As for MK Dons, well, you're better off out of that poxy competition. We strolled it, just like watching Brazil and all that jazz. Anyway, Sarumio's blown my last gasket so I'm gathering evidence. It's so depressing because it's all so bloody trivial but a heap of trivial non-consensual edits eventually gets too much. So if you'd be prepared to help with that, it'd be great. Otherwise yes, I need to pull my finger out, get out a bit more and start improving the encyclopaedia again... How's you? The Rambling Man (talk) 13:01, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well obviously my post at AN/I was inadequate, not a single squeak out of anyone else. Ho hum. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:54, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I told the named editors straight away, and also Sarumio. Only fair. Didn't want to canvass at WT:FOOTY really, thought it'd get enough attention but it looks like AN/I is busy today. Thanks for your input there though, might get the ball rolling.. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:00, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I relented and I've already done it. Doesn't seem to have attracted too much attention either! To be fair, people have probably got better things to worry about. Perhaps this is the start of my ulcer...! The Rambling Man (talk) 10:45, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FA nomination[edit]

Hello, I've seen you are somewhat of a regular at the FAC review. I was curious if you could take a look at History of Indiana and let me know if you think it is worth the time to put it up for an FA review. Also, if you think it needs more work, you could give me a couple pointers? If you are busy that cool too! Thanks Charles Edward 15:02, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Charles Edward 11:08, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know how to do it with Twinkle, though. Gunnar Hendrich (talk) 12:28, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you'd like to know that the article has undergone a copy edit and I've addressed your remaining concerns (the ones you highlighted anyway, I know you said the list wasn't exhaustive). Nev1 (talk) 22:36, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, the FAC is closed. Sadly, the powers that be decided the article didn't measure up, but I'm sure it will be back again. At some point. Thanks for your input, it helped improve the article. Nev1 (talk) 21:14, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Dweller, I have left a message in the FAC page. Please note, I am not against a rewrite if that is the consensus, I am saying the consensus has so far been that the rewritten background (it was rewritten after the last FAC) is adequate. Incidentally, I have modified the background a bit per the comments left by an ip editor. Have a look and let me know what you think of the current version. I am happy to recieve consruvtive criticism, so please do not think I am being rigid. I simply think any restructuring, esepcially where cutting back stuff's concerned would require a string consensus. Look forward to your comments, and yes, thanks for the help so far. rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 18:37, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Too demoralised to continue.... gah. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:24, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I know, it's bad isn't it? My wiki-wick is low.. need a recharge. So yeah, I guess if you wanted to set it up that'd be cool. Sorry about the 1-1 by the way... In the relegation zone yet?! The Rambling Man (talk) 10:00, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't know if you'd noticed by the way... The Rambling Man (talk) 10:43, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Your spirit and attitude are praiseworthy - especially the comment you made at 9:21 (18 Aug). ;) As long as time is on my side, I'd be very happy to look through it as an outside party. Just a couple of things to remember when you do make the RFC - probably most critical of all is diffs of the disputed behavior. It can be set out like this, or preferrably like this, but fortunately, I don't think the list would be so exhaustive in this case. :) In those same examples, if you scroll down a bit, you'll find evidence of trying and failing to resolve the dispute - submitting this is also important, even if someone else had tried/failed. If there are sockpuppetry concerns, getting a checkuser report (perhaps at WP:SSP) is probably worthwhile. Anyway, hope that helps. Ncmvocalist (talk) 13:18, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Medals[edit]

I've wikilinked most of 'em, but no sign of the last one (worryingly) at Australian campaign medals. Can you check the RS? --Dweller (talk) 10:36, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably an error, so I can delete it. I'm using Perry for convenience. He is a bit hopeless really, so when something doesn't add up, or is contradicted by some other place, he's been careless again. I see Phanto's IP has chipped in and removed some other things. Tintin and Phanto have found lots of errors in his stuff before. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:07, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ping[edit]

Howdy. You haz mail. Ok? The Rambling Man (talk) 09:35, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Desperately trying not to be thick, but what was the original question? --Dweller (talk) 11:31, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, happy to clarify : )
It's "hopefully" at the top of the thread, but to reiterate:
In the past it's always been acceptable to oppose due to the candidate showing a lack of interest/lack of desire (besides accepting a nom)/lack of intent/lack of need to use/have the tools. It's one of the main reasons for question #1: For the candidate to indicate how and where the candidate intends to use the tools, and to indicate a "need" for the tools, and even to possibly show past experience in the "where" (such as xfd or rm).
So, the question is: Is this still the case or has consensus changed? - jc37 11:45, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Gotcha. --Dweller (talk) 11:50, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(Confused, and in seeing the most recent post wanted to scream.) Am I really writing so obtusely that no one is understanding the words? Or are they intentionally being obtuse? Or what? - jc37 15:06, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If so, it must be infectious (see my opening words to this thread!). Let me see if I can help, over there. --Dweller (talk) 15:09, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Na Píobairí Uileann[edit]

I just saw that this page was deleted. Actually, Na Píobairí Uileann is a well-known organisation in Ireland. Is there any way I could get to see the content of the article before it was deleted? I might at some stage in the future be interested in creating an article on Na Píobairí Uileann, but don't want to re-invent the wheel or make the same mistake that was (I assume) made by the creator of the deleted site. Thanks.Hohenloh (talk) 17:00, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gosh, I'm delighted and unsurprised that it's really notable. I can post it to User:Hohenloh/Na Píobairí Uileann if you like. Just drop me a line and tell me when it's ready to move back into mainspace over the redirect that'll be created. --Dweller (talk) 17:03, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your prompt reply! I found the original article and agree that it is deficient. I'm not familiar with the "redirect" procedure. I have saved the text, so can re-create it, or if you can re-instate the article and give me a day or two I can bring it up to Wikipedia standards. ThanksHohenloh (talk) 17:14, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You won't be able to post it back to mainspace, as I've left a redirect in the way, which an admin has to delete. I'll happily do it once you've worked on User:Hohenloh/Na Píobairí Uileann, so let me know when. --Dweller (talk) 17:29, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


User:Footballgy/Mikey Gray[edit]

I have been working on other pages recently, in my user section. This page will be updated when I eventually get round to it. Just a case of when. The Information is backed up, however the article will only be re-instated once I get round to it. Its at your discretion but I don't see the point in deleting the article only for it to be re-added later. Would it not be better just to leave it as it as for the time being until I can find a bit of spare time to refresh and edit the article. Its entirely your decision, but that is the way I see it.

I actually have a lot of time for Norwich City. I always have a go at managing them on each version of Football Manager! Hope you guys get back up to the prem soon :-) John Sloan (talk) 22:08, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

James C. Field, Jr.[edit]

One of the rules is that all members of state and provincial legislatures are notable; period, no exceptions. This can be a problem, especially for the more arcane or archaic listings (imagine finding biographical data on somebody who was a member for a single one-year term in the lower house of the New Hampshire General Court from 1798-1799). --Orange Mike | Talk 16:02, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. It wasn't clear from the biog when I saw it what was meant by "legislator". In English English it could mean simply a junior civil servant who works on legislation. As soon as TRM made his edit, all became clear however and I'd certainly agree he's notable, per WP:POLITICIAN. Cheers! --Dweller (talk) 17:06, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Contras[edit]

Yes I'm around. I left a suggestion for a compromise on the mediation page several weeks ago. It looks like theres been a lot on chatter between Groggy and mark2b on the contra talk page since then. Is the mediation page still valid in your view or should we just skip it at this point and try and work it out on the talk page?
You may have noticed on the mediation page that I also objected to Groggy's terms of what sources should be used. To be honest I really am not up to budging one bit from the compromise solution I proposed on that page.annoynmous 00:51, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your RFA[edit]

Hi, Dweller. I've reviewed all of your contributions and I think you are one of the best editors on Wikipedia. I've changed my !vote to strong support. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 09:22, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
