Administrator intervention against vandalism[edit]

You declined at Administrator intervention against vandalism, so I thought I would bring some evidence to the table. Could you explain this to me please? How is it possible that the IPs edit is a perfect match to a revision of the article way back on the 7th July 2013? The only explanation is as I said before, the IP simply reverted the article back to the old revision. To camouflage his actions the IP used a misleading (but believable) edit summary. However like all lies, they are easily proved false.

As we know, the IPs edit summary was regarding his use of AWB, but wait, how is it possible that the IPs edit summary is the exact same as User:ChrisGualtieri's on the 11th July 2013? Strange eh?

In summary, the IPs edit is a carbon copy of the article on the 7th July 2013 and the edit summary was copy and pasted from ChrisGualtieri's edit summary on the 11th July 2013. I hope this evidence is to your satisfaction. Antiochus the Great (talk) 09:30, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, if you were to actually examine the IPs edit, it doesn't appear to be a typical AWB edit. This in itself is enough to arouse suspicion. Antiochus the Great (talk) 09:32, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Antiochus the Great: Thanks, that's helpful. It would have really helped if you'd provided that diff of the old edit so that it was clear which one you were referring to. I've now blocked the IP and reverted their edit; apologies for the confusion. WaggersTALK 09:38, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No apologies needed, I should have provided the evidence when I reported the IP. Thank you for the assistance and much appreciated. Antiochus the Great (talk) 09:43, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The edit summary was indeed copied because that version of AWB is not possible to use and it lacks the link to AWB which is automatically generated. And the "Use dmy dates|date=September 2010" template is not something which would be added by any script or any mere revision. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 14:10, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thought I would bring this to both of your attention as this is most certainly related to the above. Look at this edit. Why is an IP reverting the article back to ChrisGualtieri's revision on 11th July 2013? So first they revert to the 7th July 2013 and copy and paste Chris's edit summary, and now they simply revert to Chris's revision. Very unusual. Antiochus the Great (talk) 15:09, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Might be using a proxy? Anyways, I'm not liking this. I think the page needs some protection. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:20, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Revision to Sherlock Holmes & the case of the Silk Stocking[edit]

Sorry to offend - the entry was not intended to indicate that you had made a mistake, but to query why Nancy Banks-Smith should think that referring to Edward the Seventh - an entirely accurate statement for a film set in 1903 - should be "intended to tickle American tootsies". Any thoughts? Regards 86.137.202.191 (talk) 19:40, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@86.137.202.191: No offence caused, but such questions really need to be asked on the article's talk page (if you go to the article and click on the "Talk" tab at the top, that's where to ask it) rather than on the article itself. I'm afraid I can't help you with the answer myself but editor who regularly monitor the article will see your message on the talk page when you post it there. For more information on talk pages, please see WP:TALK. Best wishes, WaggersTALK 18:34, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't seen the production since it was broadcast, but what I suspect Banks-Smith meant is that he may have been referred to off-handedly as "King Edward the 7th" rather than simply "the King." After all, when discussing the current monarch in everyday conversation, you wouldn't say "I enjoyed watching Queen Elizabeth the Second's jubilee concert." It would sound ridiculous. You'd simply say "I enjoyed watching the Queen's jubilee concert." In any case, it's a criticism Banks-Smith made in a professionally-published article and used as a cited example of the mixed reviews the production received - we can't start adding editorial comments into articles saying we disagree with it, that's not how Wikipedia works, as I have always understood it.

TemplateData[edit]

When you added this TemplateData, did you use a script, or create it by hand? I'm trying to figure out how likely it is that TemplateData contains a space (" ") in the "description" field. My theory is that if that's done by a script, it's going to be more common. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 17:08, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Whatamidoing (WMF): "Script" is a little strong - I generated it with the aid of an Excel spreadsheet I've made that helps to convert the table containing the list of parameters and their descriptions that often appears on /doc pages, into Templatedata. To date I haven't shared that spreadsheet with anyone just yet, so presumably that means fields with a " " description shouldn't occur in the TemplateData of many templates. Hope that helps, WaggersTALK 17:32, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that's good to know. By the way, have you seen the new script? Click here, and then on the "Manage template documentation" button to have a look. (It's just a sandbox, so you can change anything you'd like there.) I'd be interested in hearing how you think it compares to other approaches you've used. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 23:14, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Whatamidoing (WMF): The script looks excellent, much more user friendly than anything I've previously tried. I couldn't get the previous TemplateData-generating javascripts to work at all (hence going down the spreadsheet route). Is the new script available to use in earnest on en.wiki yet? WaggersTALK 14:27, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so, but I'll ask around this morning and see if we could get it installed here. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 16:57, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I received an immediate response: the last fix that the devs were worried about should appear at MediaWiki.org in another hour or two, and since you were interested in it, one of them has volunteered to backport it and make it appear here sooner than it otherwise could. As a result, it's possible that this tool will be enabled in the next couple of days (my guess is next Thursday at the latest). Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 17:09, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Whatamidoing (WMF):That's excellent news, thanks for the updates. WaggersTALK 11:25, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Friendly request[edit]

Hello there Waggers! I'm noticing a couple things about your signature that I'd like to discuss with you. First, your signature is 305 characters long, which is a violation of our signature length policy. Since the MediaWiki software does not allow signatures of a length greater than 255 characters, I'm assuming that you are properly SUBSTituting your signature from a template; while this is frowned upon due to the risk involved and the likelyhold that if you're doing this then you are likely violating other policies, it is allowable. Please do use caution and watch that template page like a hawk. Finally, you are using a lot of obsolete <font> tags in your signature, which there is a whole discussion about on VPR if you are intrigued. As such, I'd like to offer you a replacement chunk of signature code that would allow you to deal with all of these issues in one shot and maintain the general appearance of your existing signature. If you are interested in that, I suggest replacing:

'''[[User:Waggers|<span style="color:#9E7BFF;">W</span><span style="color:#9172EC;">a</span><span style="color:#8467D7;">g</span><span style="color:#7A5DC7;">g</span><span style="color:#7A5DC7;">e</span><span style="color:#8D38C9;">r</span><span style="color:#7D1B7E;">s</span>]]'''''[[User talk:Waggers|<span style="color:green;"><small>TALK</small></span>]]''

with:

[[User:Waggers|<b style="color:#98F">W</b><b style="color:#97E">a</b><b style="color:#86D">g</b><b style="color:#75C">ge</b><b  style="color:#83C">r</b><b  style="color:#728">s</b>]][[User talk:Waggers|<small  style="color:#080">''TALK''</small>]]

which will result in a 247 character long signature (58 characters shorter) with an appearance of: Waggers TALK
compared to your existing 305 character long signature of: WaggersTALK
— Either way. Happy editing! — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 12:27, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's awesome, duly changed. Many thanks Technical 13 Waggers TALK 13:17, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're very welcome. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 13:22, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tool is live[edit]

Hi Waggers,

I meant to say something before, but in case you haven't noticed already, the TemplateData tool is live now, due to your request. I just tried it out a few minutes ago, and it was great.
