Banned[change source]

How come Aaqib was banned? — This unsigned comment was added by 2602:306:ce09:8d40:806e:33d:8062:b5db (talk • changes). 19:44, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Any idea?[change source]

Hi ZW, you have any idea who ‎65.254.60.108 is? This IP seems like a IP-hopping vandal, since he targeted both of our talk pages, and both of us do vandalism revert. ✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎ 13:50, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, can you help me to semi-protect my user page? Thanks. ✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎ 13:51, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea... though you are probably right - a vandal which targets user talk pages first is someone who has probably been here before. Chenzw  Talk  13:59, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Now that I look up the IP's origins and referring to my previous blocks yesterday, it might be Wikinger again - he has the habit of renting servers from other locations, from which he will edit. Chenzw  Talk  14:05, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for protecting my page. I tried to take a look at Wikinger's contributions, but the username was not registered. ✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎ 14:14, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Anothet thing, I see you were very active on en.wiki a few years ago. Why did you suddenly choose to permanently settle here? Prefer a quieter environment, or you want to help a smaller wiki to progress? Cheers. ✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎ 14:14, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikinger doesn't contribute under a user account over here. You can take a look at some of the range blocks and LTA blocks I made yesterday for an idea.
Actually, I started editing here before I even started on EN, and knew about this wiki because another active administrator then (not revealing the identity to protect privacy) was featured in a newspaper article. This wiki is much quieter, less dramatic, less bureaucratic. Chenzw  Talk  14:28, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I just read his LTA report on en.wiki. Do you think we should revert all his edits? The report says some are good-hand, while others are bad-hand. And BTW, are you planning on creating any articles here? ✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎ 14:50, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I am more of a wikignome... for Wikinger, the good-hand edits can stay - he reverted his own mess, and I am not complaining :P Chenzw  Talk  15:03, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ZW, do you have any idea why Samlaptop made this rather good-hand edit? Or is it one of his habits? Cheers. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 14:11, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's one of his habits. Best bet is to block, revert, ignore. Chenzw  Talk  14:15, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Talking about revert, why aren't the good-hand pages created by Christian2941's socks deleted? (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 14:22, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Created pages? I actually can't recall any such pages. If you point them out I will go take a look at them. Chenzw  Talk  14:26, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
List of television stations in the Philippines and Cherie Gil. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 14:05, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, I have added an IP and some stuff on your Samlaptop report. Cheers. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 14:19, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for not finishing[change source]

I am sorry that I didn't finish doing the Template:Did you know adjustments (resetting the timer etc.). I just got a phone call and had to go somewhere and didn't have time. I hope I never make this mistake again. Reception123/Receptie123 (talk) 16:12, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikia[change source]

Can I talk to you for a second? Aaqib sent me here to invite you to a wiki he made that is all about Asia. I think you can help the wiki for him. Thanks! --173.53.52.217 (talk) 19:44, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidata weekly summary #71[change source]

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Events/Press/Blogs
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • Wikivoyage is scheduled to get access to Wikidata data (aka phase 2) on August 26th.
    • Listen to and watch beautiful Wikidata edits
    • To support the inclusion of geographical coordinates in Wikidata, just about two months a new data type came available and d:Property:P625 "coordinate location" was created. Already 565,000 pairs of coordinates are now available on WikiData. Compare this to 870,000 coordinates on English Wikipedia or 1,500,000 items with d:Property:P17 "country", likely to have coordinates. Have a look at them on a map.
  • Did you know?
    • Newest properties: approved by (P790), ISIL ID (P791), chapter (P792), Key event (P793), as (P794), distance along (P795), geo datum (P796), executing authority (P797), mission design series designation (P798), air ministry specification (P799), work (P800), notable work (P801), student (P802), professorship (P803), GNIS Antarctica ID (P804), subject of (P805). Italian cadastre code (P806) In Addition new properties to describe mushrooms were created: hymenium type (P783), mushroom cap shape (P784), hymenium attachment (P785), stipe character (P786), spore print color (P787), mushroom ecological type (P789), edibility (P789). These will allow to build the data for a mushroom infobox (as w:Template:Mycomorphbox).
    • Newest task forces: Physics task force
    • Wikidata helped remove 240,000,000 language links from Wikipedia's wiki text.
  • Development
    • Want to get an overview of what Pragun, our Google Summer of Code student working on Wikidata for mobile, is doing? Check here
    • Worked on simple special page to make a query (bugzilla:52385)
    • Worked on ability to move qualifiers
    • Started improving API and Special Page tests
    • Fixed links to Special:SetSiteLink in non-JavaScript interface (bugzilla:51914)
    • ChangeOps, custom summaries and autocomments for SetStatementRank API module
    • Fixed displaying “0” as label/description in autocomments
    • Some minor fixes for rare crashes of editing UI
    • Worked on moving Selenium tests to Cucumber
  • Open Tasks for You
    • See if you can connect some of these Wikivoyage pages to their item on Wikidata.
    • Check if some of the items on this and this list can be merged. But be careful to only merge if they are really about the same topic! Help about merging is at d:Help:Merge.
    • Update, expand and translate d:Wikidata:Introduction to make it easier for newcomers to understand what Wikidata is all about.
    • Hack on one of these.

Unfounded[change source]

Who gets to decide what is unfounded? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.250.144.176 (talk • contribs) 03:58, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Quick deletion policy. Your original "article" only rephrased the title. Please include a little more information next time. Osiris (talk) 04:08, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page[change source]

Can I add a talk page header when the talk page has a blp header? --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 15:39, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't. They all count as talk page headers. We don't create talk pages that contain only headers. They should be left as redlinks until there is actually some discussion about the article. Chenzw  Talk  15:43, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 23:44, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've created a list of talk pages that TDKR created with only header templates. It's at User:Auntof6/header-only talk pages. If no other edits have ever been done, can these be deleted? I'm willing to do the work. In fact, I'm even willing to check all pages with the talk page and/or blp headers to see if there are more like this. --Auntof6 (talk) 10:04, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted category: Active Wikipedians[change source]

Thanks for deleting this category. There are a few users who have it hardcoded on their user or talk pages. Would it be appropriate to remove it from there? --Auntof6 (talk) 11:03, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Almost all done... I have notified Barras and Mh7kJ on IRC about the category deletion. Chenzw  Talk  11:06, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
