Could you please comment on how to program an archival bot for Wikipedia:Editor review that is both feasible and advisable? My inclination is to keep the current system, i.e. alphabetical order, with the date of the first edit to the page noted. I am willing to sacrifice either of these points if it makes the bot operator's job easier. In other words, we could forget about alphabetical order and archive by month, or we could simply not bother to note the date of each individual request. I am posting this message to several users active at Editor Review to solicit opinions. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 03:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC) On image sourcesThe metadata for every image (right down the very bottom of the image page) shows details of the camera used to take the photo. Bluegoblin's images all show they were taken with an Olympus UD600, while Shanner's were taken with a Minolta Dimage. Not proof of anything - and it is possible (albeit difficult) to fake metadata -
WBOSITG's RfAMy RfAHi Useight; I wanted to say thank you for supporting my request for adminship, which passed with 100 supports, 0 opposes and 1 neutral. I wanted to get round everybody individually, even though it's considered by some to be spam (which... I suppose it is! but anyway. :)). It means a lot to me that the community has placed its trust in my ability to use the extra buttons, and I only hope I can live up to its expectations. If you need anything, or notice something that bothers you, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks again, PeterSymonds | talk 22:08, 13 May 2008 (UTC) Your SecretaryHey, you look tired.

HAUThanks for adding the cat. I suppose I'm very active late at night well. I should have added that originally. Can you change my online time until 2 a.m. EST? I tried to do it myself, but the edit preview showed the chart all screwed up. Thanks. APK yada yada 04:44, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
How does the HAU work with StatusBot? I experimented with the template, but I didn't like it since it never seemed to work, so I removed it. bibliomaniac15 04:54, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

HeyHello, I requested that bibilomanaic become my admin coach but he believed that at this point in time I was a little to inexperienced which I think was a fair assessment so in the mean time I wanted to get a little more information from yourself. You referred me to a page about admin criteria and I had a few questions. What is the difference between mainspace and namespace edits and also you mention about "High activity in areas in which candidate mentions in Q1", what are these areas? Thanks a lot!Londonfella (talk) 12:37, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

StatusBotHow do I fix statusbot? It says I'm offline when I'm clearly online. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 04:33, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
By the way, I've added redirects to the subpages themselves. That should also help organization. Redirects are cheap after all. bibliomaniac15 05:11, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
{{ #switch: {{User:StatusBot/Status/Xenocidic}} | online=online | offline={{ #ifexpr: ({{#time:U}}-{{#time:U|{{User:StatusBot/Status/Xenocidic/LastEdit}}}}) > 7200 | offline | {{ #ifexpr: ({{#time:U}}-{{#time:U|{{User:StatusBot/Status/Xenocidic/LastEdit}}}}) > 1800 | recent | online }} }} }}
It returns "online" if statusbot says so, or my last edit was within 30 minutes (1800 seconds), it returns "recent" if last edit was within 2 hours (7200 seconds), and "offline" otherwise. I've also modified Wikipedia:Highly_Active_Users/Status to accept the "recent" paramater (hope that's ok), though I couldn't find an appropriate matching symbol.

I've gone ahead and reformed the table in WP:HAU/OC. I don't know how the StatusBot thing is supposed to work, so I've left that blank. bibliomaniac15 01:49, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Should I also add back those only in the details section that weren't on the previous main table? bibliomaniac15 01:54, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
BTW, with regards to the key, shouldn't Wikignomes and those Wikibeasts go on "Maintenance" and FA, GA, and DYK go on "Content"? bibliomaniac15 02:07, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
WP:HAU/OC is completely finished now. Please check to see if I did the StatusBot stuff right. bibliomaniac15 02:28, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:HAUI have created {{Wikipedia:Highly Active Users/table key}}. It could probably do with a little improvement. The column headings should also be templatised. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 18:14, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Article creationA lot of people have told me that I need to create more articles in order to have a successful RfA, so I have decided to start my article creation drive. I am going to make 1 article a day until the 2 weeks before my RfA, when I will create 3 or 4 a day.

Useight, RyRy5 got into trouble a little while ago for submitting a DYK article (that made it onto the front page) that consisted completely of WP:COPYVIO material. Did you hear about that?

Question about vandalismHey, I've got a little question about vandalism. How many warnings is enough to block a user. I ran across User:Lfatboy, and it seems that 80% of his edits are non-constructive, and blantantly vandalism. I gave him Uw-vandalism1, 2, and 3 templates, but I was curious if it was typical/necessary to give five warnings before blocking a user. In this case, almost all of his edits were vandalism, so would 3 warnings be enough, and then the fourth time block him? Or is it always 5 warnings, then block? -- TIM KLOSKE|TALK 21:53, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

The evidence is around this website. I can't search thoroughy at the moment. You should probably check Google also. What should I/you do about it since it is a copyvio? --RyRy5 (talk ♠ copy-edit) 03:09, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
(outdent):I actually reported two and both were blocked. And no, it's okay. Every time I make a report there, I always check back to see what happened. Many of my reports resulted in blocks. But I do have another favor to ask of you. I saw at the admin coaching subpage of razorflame what you did. It was something like, "1000 mainspace edits, 50 wikipedia talk edits, 500 project space edits, etc." Do you mind checking my count on kate's tool and doing the same? --RyRy5 (talk ♠ copy-edit) 04:08, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
I noticed on your talkpage that they wanted to remove my name from WP:HAU. I then saw the thread at the HAU talk page about requirements. Do I reach the the requirements. If so, do you mind clarifying at the talk page that I can be a part of HAU?--RyRy5 (talk ♠ copy-edit) 05:17, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

He's afraid that comments appearing accusatory will weigh heavily against the user in the future, perhaps even at his/her next RfA, painting them perpetually in a negative light. Although, the case itself is a stain on the record. To be fair, you'll notice my comments on said page mirror your thoughts almost exactly. It's about confession and avoiding nasty consequences. Everyone should assume good faith, yes, but sometimes there is a preponderance of evidence that shakes our ability to recite the policy with unwavering resolve. I feel that this is the case here. The fact is, a sockpuppetry case wouldn't have even been opened in the first place if WP:AGF prevailed all the time. It's not a get out of jail free card, you know? I don't think any of your comments were uncivil or libelous (the latter is a very nasty term). Although, I think perhaps you and I made the fundamental error of not letting the evidence speak for itself. Know what I mean? Wisdom89 (T / C) 04:19, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
