Hi there,

This user is vandalizing a lot of pages. Probably he wants to be administrator and thinks he's right. Look how many he removed:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Werieth

I was pissed off because he was removing also all the posters here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_in_UFC

And I saw that he did before here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_in_K-1_Events

I look forward to hearing from you. Please reply me here. This user deserves a ban. He doesn't bring anything than violations. I see he was also threatening users.

You recently changed a Valiant-class tugboat category from [[Category:Valiant-class tugboats]] to [[Category:Valiant-class tugboats| ]]. I've seen you do that to other ship class articles.

Sorry just a reply from a talk page stalker - if you look at Category:Valiant-class tugboats you will find that the changes add the primary topic of the category to the top of the list, the ~ puts the template at the bottom of the list.

As mentioned by M1, that's standard coding for the ships so that they're properly sorted in the categories, so that you find the ship class article first, then the ships of the class, then the templates at the end. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:07, 8 March 2013 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-03-08T22:07:00.000Z","author":"The Bushranger","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-The_Bushranger-2013-03-08T22:07:00.000Z-MilborneOne-2013-03-08T18:40:00.000Z","replies":["c-Trappist_the_monk-2013-03-09T12:33:00.000Z-The_Bushranger-2013-03-08T22:07:00.000Z"]}}-->

Good find! I'd say that "tau for template", as suggested there, is a very bad idea though - because (as noted) it sorts as "T", which puts the template before things starting with U-Z; "~" (which seems to be the most commonly used in practice anyway) properly sorts it. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 14:01, 9 March 2013 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-03-09T14:01:00.000Z","author":"The Bushranger","type":"comment","level":7,"id":"c-The_Bushranger-2013-03-09T14:01:00.000Z-Trappist_the_monk-2013-03-09T13:58:00.000Z","replies":["c-Trappist_the_monk-2013-03-09T14:35:00.000Z-The_Bushranger-2013-03-09T14:01:00.000Z"]}}-->

Umm, displays as T? If I understand it correctly, the sorting is simply based on the ASCII value of the sort key. τ (231 decimal I think) will sort after space (32 decimal) and ~ (127 decimal) but will display on the category page as T. I changed {{Valiant-class_tugboat}} to prove this and sure enough, sort key τ displays as T and is sorted at the end of the list after the ship articles. On a windows machine τ is Alt+231. —Trappist the monk (talk) 14:35, 9 March 2013 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-03-09T14:35:00.000Z","author":"Trappist the monk","type":"comment","level":8,"id":"c-Trappist_the_monk-2013-03-09T14:35:00.000Z-The_Bushranger-2013-03-09T14:01:00.000Z","replies":["c-The_Bushranger-2013-03-09T14:36:00.000Z-Trappist_the_monk-2013-03-09T14:35:00.000Z"]}}-->

Perhaps true, though ~ might be equally confounding – after all, I asked you about it ... At least the "T" header matches the namespace initial character.

It's a sub-category of Category:Round Table-class landing ships logistics. As it's the modified version of the class (same as the second Sir Galahad, I presume?), it should be in that tree - but putting it directly there would be misleading as, unlike the rest of the class, she never served in the British Army or RFA. Therefore this acts as a compromise that properly positions the class in both trees. This fits the WP:SMALLCAT exemption for established trees, similar to Category:Aircraft by manufacturer. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 08:00, 11 March 2013 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-03-11T08:00:00.000Z","author":"The Bushranger","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-The_Bushranger-2013-03-11T08:00:00.000Z-Nick-D-2013-03-11T07:58:00.000Z","replies":["c-Nick-D-2013-03-11T10:19:00.000Z-The_Bushranger-2013-03-11T08:00:00.000Z"]}}-->

Yeah, but it seems somewhat pointless given that this is a Round Table-class landing ships logistics (with some minor tweaks) and that category doesn't specify that the LSLs are British-only.

Currently there is no auxiliary cruiser article - auxiliary cruiser being a redirect to armed merchantmen - so why go for the specific auxiliary cruiser as the category rather than the more generic "armed merchantman" or "armed merchant ship"?

Well, "Auxiliary cruiser" seems to be the established tree, primarily, so it's following C2C Category:Auxiliary cruisers > "Auxiliary cruisers of Foo". "Auxiliary cruiser", based on my quick look, looks to be the more 1900s term for the type, with "armed merchantman" being the 2000s type term (and Armed Merchant Cruiser the British term). The thing is the cat includes Q-ships and such with are a bit more than meets the eye your run-of-the-mill armed merchie. I'm not sure if the article should be renamed (to AC), or if once all cats in the tree are brought into conformity the whole tree should be (to AM). - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:46, 11 March 2013 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-03-11T22:46:00.000Z","author":"The Bushranger","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-The_Bushranger-2013-03-11T22:46:00.000Z-GraemeLeggett-2013-03-11T13:20:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Hi there. I'm leaving you a message, as you are one of those that closes a lot of AfD's. We have two AfD's listed at WP:FOOTY from 26 February (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Víctor Zúniga) and 27 February (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tamás Romhányi (2nd nomination) - I am aware of that you voted in the first AfD and might consider yourself WP:INVOLVED) that hasn't been closed or relisted yet. I believe that the problem is that they hasn't been listed at the daily log (step 3). Even though there seems to be a clear consensus in both AfD's, it should be noted that all the voters are WP:FOOTY members, so I don't know if it's appropiate to relist them so that other people could find them and vote their opinion, or if they could be closed right away, but that is up to you or another admin.

Hi Bushranger. I had a question about the NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship (aka NiSWC or DWC Oval), Do you think we should split each of the individual seasons by year? Because the 2013 season just got started and we'll have a bunch of tables on a single page. Even though there also isn't that much info on the teams or drivers from 2010-2011, do you think it should be done?

That's a tricky question. On the one hand, we usually don't have by-season articles for lower-level series (i.e there is no 2012 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East season article), on the other hand, there's no real poicy-based reason why we shouldn't as long as they can be sufficently sourced - they seem like reasonable examples of breakouts to avoid making the main article unduly long. So I'd say, as long as you can find sources stating the winners of each "event", then go ahead and be bold. (I'd also suggest trying to find third-party sources for the main article, as most of those NASCAR.com links are broken now that NASCAR decided to be "smart" and take their page in-house. 1996 called, it wants its webpage back.

In the deletion notes it was disparaged as a pet project of VA Shiva Ayyadurai, but that seems like it occurred at a point when there was lots of controversy. It's a growing movement that's an offshoot/combination of data visualization, infographics, and marketing as well (to some degree). There's a woman, unaffiliated with Ayyadurai as far as I can tell, who teaches it at Harvard and has her own site http://visualizingsystems.com/. Many of Manuel Lima's Visual Complexity projects http://www.visualcomplexity.com/vc/ are also within the field, and systems visualization / visualizing complex systems, generically, is the focal point of massive CS visualization development efforts.

While it does seem like the page, as it was constituted at deletion, had primarily one source/viewpoint, it should really have been flagged as POV or something, NOT just deleted.

Hey, Bushranger. In respectful response to your inquiry on my user talk page, I have explained, at length, my deletion of the RfA notice from the talk page of Wikiproject Military History here: Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Binksternet. In short, I do not believe there is any credible argument that can be made that the RfA is "directly related" to the purpose, subject area or activities of the Wikiproject, and that its intent to solicit !votes was clear enough from the original phrasing of the notice.

If you feel 100% confident that the RfA is "directly related" to the WikiProject as required by WP:CANVASSING, then you may revert my deletion of the notice from the project talk page. I hope that you will AGF on my part, and recognize that I have taken this action in the interest of protecting the RfA process and the candidate. I do not have a dog in this hunt otherwise, and I will not !vote in this RfA. Best regards to you as a hard-working and well-intended admin . . .

Question for you. You rightfully declined an unblock request by Tramadul (talk · contribs). I've been asked to consider making the block indefinite, and frankly I can see the point: there is no reason to assume, given the nature of their unblock requests, that they'd be editing in accordance with our BLP policy--they clearly don't get it. On the other hand, I didn't indef them immediately because there were other things they did, things that one could consider productive (if one is in a good mood)--things that at least weren't BLP violations. So I don't know what to do. Your advice is appreciated; I just yelled at the kids so I'm not likely to start throwing around indef blocks right now.

Thanks for semiprotecting the SPI page for Echigo mole. It was previously semiprotected but that changed when it was deleted and recreated a while back (after Echigo mole made a fake SPI report elsewhere himself). The initial remark after archiving at ANI on the variety of usernames of A.K.Nole/Echigo mole seemed to be a way of rewarding or venerating the troll in a public WP space. I cannot see how that is helpful. Echigo mole's recent edits resulted in false information being placed in mathematics articles. Correcting that kind of thing is a pain, whatever he calls himself. That's why a lid has to be kept on things. Undoubtedly an edit summary of "WP:DFTT" would have been better, but it's too late now. I usually post on ANI to get speedy action when there's a proliferation of socks. It's often faster than SPI. Fortunately in this case, following FPaS's blocks, DeltaQuad could identify lots more socks.

Article of the month – Auto Club Speedway, a Good Article Auto Club Speedway (formerly California Speedway) is a two-mile (3 km), low-banked, D-shaped oval superspeedway in Fontana, California which has hosted NASCAR racing annually since 1997. The track was also used for open wheel racing events until 2005. The racetrack is located near the former locations of Ontario Motor Speedway and Riverside International Raceway. The track is owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation and is the only track owned by ISC to have naming rights sold. The speedway is served by the nearby Interstate 10 and Interstate 15 freeways as well as a Metrolink station located behind the backstretch. Construction of the track, on the site of the former Kaiser Steel Mill, began in 1995 and was completed in late 1996. The speedway has a grandstand capacity of 91,200 and 28 skyboxes. In 2006, a fanzone was added behind the main grandstand. Lights were added to the speedway in 2004 with the addition of a second annual NASCAR weekend. In 2011 and 2012 the track hosted only one NASCAR weekend. The IZOD Indycar Series returned to the track in 2012 with the season finale race (a 500 mile night race); it ran a 400 mile race from 2002–05 at the track. (Read more...)

Regarding this comment, uploading under the same name would not have been possible as the file was on en.wiki as a PNG file, whilst the NASA file is natively a JPG and was uploaded to Commons as such.

Hm? Oh. I guess I clicked too fast, sorry. I'm not acutally using 'propplanes' - I created that as a category redirect to Category:Propeller aircraft so that my HotCatting would go faster (only having to type 'propp' instead of 'propeller a' to get 'propeller aircraft'). Sometimes if you select 'OK' too fast though HotCat doesn't jump to the correct category, I've noticed - I'll be more careful of that, thanks. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 10:58, 28 March 2013 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-03-28T10:58:00.000Z","author":"The Bushranger","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-The_Bushranger-2013-03-28T10:58:00.000Z-MilborneOne-2013-03-28T10:56:00.000Z","replies":["c-MilborneOne-2013-03-28T11:01:00.000Z-The_Bushranger-2013-03-28T10:58:00.000Z"]}}-->

A tag has been placed on Dornier Do 24 ATT, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page, or a redirect loop.

If you can fix this redirect to point to an existing Wikipedia page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag.

Hi. Two puppets of sockmaster IronKnuckle have been indef blocked. See Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of IronKnuckle, to which you added two puppets.

IronKnuckle also has a history of such badly premised AfDs (with editors and closing sysops saying they either suggest bad faith, or an unusually poor grasp of GNG), that they have resulted in multiple same-day speedy keeps (16 speedy keeps on one day in January alone).

See also the AN/I discussion here about his AfDs, with the partial close by Monty845, in which Monty wrote inter alia "In my opinion, there is more then enough support here for closing the AfDs, and their continuing to be open is an ongoing problem, so I'm going to go close any that are still open on the basis of the above."

He has just AFD'd yet another article, with what appear to be similarly poor grounds. That's disruptive; especially so as the article is at DYK.

Don't we block such sockmasters generally?--Epeefleche (talk) 20:44, 29 March 2013 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-03-29T20:44:00.000Z","author":"Epeefleche","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Epeefleche-2013-03-29T20:44:00.000Z-Sockmaster","replies":["c-The_Bushranger-2013-03-29T20:56:00.000Z-Epeefleche-2013-03-29T20:44:00.000Z"]}}-->

Generally, but we've tried to apply some WP:ROPE here.

I'm supportive of that, if it requires further community input (and the prior AN/I and continued disruption is not sufficient to act on).

What can be done with regard to closing the current AfD, which is disrupting the article's DYK? Especially in light of the prior AN/I and series of closes, with comments there by sysops and others? Thanks.

Well, as it's clearly a misguided AfD, it'll probably be snow closed soon.

Thanks. I'll wait out the annoying disruption patiently. BTW -- I now see that Iron was blocked for his prior AfDs. In unblocking him on his second request, after Iron asserted "the mistakes I made were making AfDs that were premature, I'm sorry I didnt know.... I have learned now", Drmies wrote: "Per ROPE, if you will, and AGF, no doubt partly a result of my extreme liberalism. IronKnuckle's edits will have plenty of watchers, and future infractions will no doubt be dealt with swiftly--so, it won't matter much whether they return to editing now or when the original block is done. IronKnuckle, you'll have to at least act on the assumption (that's WP:AGF too) that editors don't (always) edit according to their political stance but that the overriding POV is our set of guidelines."--Epeefleche (talk) 21:19, 29 March 2013 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-03-29T21:19:00.000Z","author":"Epeefleche","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Epeefleche-2013-03-29T21:19:00.000Z-The_Bushranger-2013-03-29T21:15:00.000Z","replies":["c-Drmies-2013-03-29T22:33:00.000Z-Epeefleche-2013-03-29T21:19:00.000Z","c-IronKnuckle-2013-03-30T01:54:00.000Z-Epeefleche-2013-03-29T21:19:00.000Z"]}}-->

Honestly, after looking through things, I'm inclined to extend just a bit more WP:ROPE - while this AfD was misguided at best, looking at his last few before this, they appear to be legit.

Of course they were legit. I nominated it because I felt it failed WP:NMMA and had no clue it passed WP:GNG. I also felt I was harassed on my page by Epeefleche because I nominated an Israel related article. Well let me say something: Israel related articles dont get special treatment, and Wikipedia is not a place for Zionism. I made a mistake, I didn't know it passed WP:GNG, and I resent that you falsely accuse me of disruption because you have a conflict of interest with Israel/Jewish related articles.

We are halfway through round two. Pool A sees the strongest competition, with five out of eight of its competitors scoring over 100, and Pool H is lagging, with half of its competitors yet to score. WikiCup veterans lead overall; Pool A's Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (2010's winner) leads overall, with poolmate Miyagawa (submissions) (a finalist in 2011 and 2012) not far behind. Pool F's Casliber (submissions) (a finalist in 2010, 2011 and 2012) is in third. The top two scorers in each pool, as well as the next highest 16 scorers overall, will progress to round three at the end of April.

Today has seen a number of Easter-themed did you knows from WikiCup participants, and March has seen collaboration from contestants with WikiWomen's History Month. It's great to see the WikiCup being used as a locus of collaboration; if you know of any collaborative efforts going on, or want to start anything up, please feel free to use the WikiCup talk page to help find interested editors. As well as fostering collaboration, we're also seeing the Cup encouraging the improvement of high-importance articles through the bonus point system. Highlights from the last month include GAs on physicist Niels Bohr ( Hawkeye7 (submissions)), on the European hare ( Cwmhiraeth (submissions)), on the constellation Circinus ( Keilana (submissions) and Casliber (submissions)) and on the Third Epistle of John ( Cerebellum (submissions)). All of these subjects were covered on at least 50 Wikipedias at the beginning of the year and, subsequently, each contribution was awarded at least three times as many points as normal.

Wikipedians who enjoy friendly competition may be interested in participating in April's wikification drive. While wikifying an article is typically not considered "significant work" such that it can be claimed for WikiCup points, such gnomish work is often invaluable in keeping articles in shape, and is typically very helpful for new writers who may not be familiar with formatting norms.

A quick reminder: now, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hey Bushranger, how goes it? I had a question (NOT a complaint in the least). I was wondering if you could clarify something I saw. I noticed a "hat" to a discussion that had been "closed". Was that simply to reinforce the close? Was there opening and closing I missed? Was there private information that needed removed? (obviously I'm not asking what that information is, just if it existed). Was it simply a matter of WP:DENY? Or was it something I'm just not aware of?

I have just received an AN/I notice via you.

I just thought I would let you know that I did check for sources for the Daewoo FX212 Super Cruiser article, and could not find any. You also said that "A distinct model of motor vehicle, which, by long-standing consensus, establishes notability." Isn't this false per WP:PRODUCT? I clearly am wrong here I just want to better understand the notability policy for car makes.

Hi there. No worries. I'm not sure there is a policy/guideline/essay, per se, and WP:PRODUCT would seem to have been WP:IAR'd in this case; WP:CONSENSUS, through the "standard editing procedure", is that individual make-model combinations of motor vehicle are, with only rare exceptions, notable by virtue of being a distinct make-model combination - motor vehicles being somewhat different than, say, a brand of laundry detergent. That said, in cases where a model is a sub-type of another, or is developed from another and can't be adequately referenced, a merge and covering it under the "parent" model is wholly appropriate (and could be done WP:BOLDly, instead of through AfD).

As you perhaps saw, the TFD for {{Marriage}} got closed as "no consensus". After examining the way this template works, I've proposed removing many of the parameters that many of the TFD participants found unnecessary, problematic, objectionable, etc. The proposal is in the "Removing parameters" section of Template talk:Marriage; would you please go there and offer your opinions? I apologise for the boilerplate style of writing; I'm doing my best to notify all participants in the TFD equally, so I'm copy/pasting the same thing to everyone's talk page regardless of how they voted.

Hello. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, they do not encourage "trapping and euthanizing the cats". Instead, they state:

1. The FWC will NOT initiate a campaign to eradicate outdoor cats.
2. The FWC will NOT act against home owners for letting their cats outdoors, although we will recommend against it.
3. The FWC will NOT be patrolling the streets looking for feral and free-ranging cats.
4. The feral and free-ranging cat policy will have little, if any, impact in urban and suburban areas, except where serious threats to imperiled species exist.

I did, however, follow a hunch and discover it was a copyright violation - so deleted it is as F9. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 07:58, 18 April 2013 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-04-18T07:58:00.000Z","author":"The Bushranger","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-The_Bushranger-2013-04-18T07:58:00.000Z-RfD","replies":["c-Dave1185-2013-04-19T05:36:00.000Z-The_Bushranger-2013-04-18T07:58:00.000Z"]}}-->

• Thanks TBR, I thought it looked rather familiar! Another thing, that image's relevance was in question as it was very hard to discern which are the French-built Aérospatiale SA 330 Pumas and which are the Romanian-built IAR 330s. Let's not forget that the same fin flash was used throughout, which without the actual stencils/markings of the individual service (found usually on the fuselage sides) being photographed, makes it even harder to tell them apart. To make matters worse, we have a sore thumb sticking up in the middle, which is in the form of an unknown tailboom (serial no. 4321). Hence, naming it as what the blocked uploader had did was very confusing for all. Thanks again, my headache is all gone! Just need to go catch some badly needed shut-eye now.

Hi. I don't know if we already met. I'd like to tell you that the books in English published in the past 50 years which focus entirely in the Paraguayan War are:

• Independence or Death Story of the Paraguayan War
• The origins of the Paraguayan War
• The Paraguayan War: Armies of the Nineteenth Century:The Americas
• The Paraguayan War: History and Historiography
• The Paraguayan War, Volume 1: Causes and Early Conduct
• Wargaming the Paraguayan War - 1864-1870
• To the Bitter End: Paraguay and the War of the Triple Alliance

As you can see, only one book about the conflict used the name "War of the Triple Alliance". And even this book said that "...or the Paraguayan War as it is more popularly termed". The real reason for MarshalN20 to open a thread on the ANI is because he is retaliating Astynax. The latter wrote a statement against the former on an ongoing Arbitration case. Wee Curry Monster is not an "uninvolved editor". He is MarshalN20's friend. Both MarshalN20 and another editor called Cambalachero are being investigated because they have been pushing the view of anti-Semitic and Fascist historians. See Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Argentine History/Evidence. In here you can see MarshalN20 canvassing Cambalachero to act together against Astynax (notice that they even mention the arbitration case).

Thank you for your welcome note on my page and pointing out a so-called edit war. Perhaps you can assist. Several editors have tried to create pages related to a US battle called the Doolitle Raid from WWII. However there are 2 administrators who don't like the pages and have unilaterally deleted every page created without any opportunity to 'reach a so-called consensus' on a talk page. We are creating pages to honor the contribution of war heros who risked heir lives in a landmark mission. Wikipedia is litttered with pages of people who are of dubious notability yet these pages survive. The Doolittle arcades are notable people and deserve to be discussed in this forum. Please warn these administrators that their opinions are not shared by others, and that these page will be recreated by those who recognize the notability of the Doolittle Raiders. Thank you.

If you want the articles restored, you need to request a Deletion Review for each article.
