RFA

So when do you think you will be ready for another RFA? <3 Tinkleheimer TALK!! 20:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Hahaha...not for a while, I think. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 23:24, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

1. Oppose; too many featured articles. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 23:43, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I view self opposes as not being power hungry. Tiptoety ^talk 00:00, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Um...a Lego block and a rock band? dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 05:02, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Oppose, everyone knows that proper nouns should be capitalized; as DHMO's signature does not reflect this grammar point, he is unsuited for adminship. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^(talk) 01:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Good God, who fixed up my articles with proper capitalisation? :O dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 01:36, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

The result will be 48 support, 12 oppose, +/- 5 either way on both scores. Bet you... — iridescent 01:27, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

No, he'll get over a 100 votes... but he needs to wait. His last RfA failed due to "too many RfA's in a year." Give him time, he'll be a hell of an admin, but he needs to wait :( Balloonman (talk) 03:48, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Crackdown GA

Just a note that I've addressed the points raised by your review. --MASEM 04:47, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

As a followup to the GA, how do you think it is ready for an FA? Don't need a full PR, just a thumbs up or down how close it is. --MASEM 21:59, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Thumbs...very close to up. Just the usual...remember to copyedit, etc., but I'm not seeing anything major missing. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 23:52, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Everest Catholic High School

Err ... you are aware that consensus was plainly for Merge in that discussion (7-3, by my count), and that non-admin closures can only reflect unambiguous Keeps? There's nothing unambiguous about a result proposed by a minority. Would you care to undo this, or would you prefer Wikipedia:Deletion review?  RGTraynor  12:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

(Link for reference) Please read the closing comments; you're welcome to propose a merger on the talk page. The suggested target was to a list of schools, and this one was on the list...hence the merge was already "done". There were no arguments for deletion, so yes, it was a unanimous keep. Feel free to discuss a merge on the talk page if you wish, or feel free to take it to DRV if you believe this decision should be overturned in some way, though I can't see how a merge could take place at the moment (and there is no other decision proposed that I can see). And yes, I am aware of policy and process relating to non admin closures. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 12:51, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

In which case you're aware that non-admin closures cannot be judgment calls of any sort, which you've made here.  RGTraynor  13:02, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Please re-read WP:DPR#NAC, nothing about judgement is mentioned. Consensus is mentioned. I evaluated that and closed accordingly. Again, if you believe I have closed incorrectly, take it to DRV, and propose a more suitable merge target, or explain how the proposed one is suitable. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 13:04, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

(Off to sleep now, feel free to do whatever you feel is right—I trust your judgement. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 13:15, 1 May 2008 (UTC))

WikiProject Alternative music Newsletter

The Alternative music WikiProject Newsletter Issue 13 - April 2008

"God is in your scrotum!'"- Perry Farrell Project news This month was the first in over a year in which no articles were promoted to featured article status. In the period between March 2007 and April 2008, the project produced a whopping 70 Featured Articles. Let's keep adding to those numbers! Pearl Jam was featured on the Main Page on April 22. We collaborated on My Bloody Valentine, The Queen Is Dead, Double Nickels on the Dime and Ten (Pearl Jam album) during the past month. During the month of April, Diorama (album), Editors, Neon Bible, Ghosts I–IV, "Yes! I Am a Long Way from Home" and "Who Really Cares (Featuring the Sound of Insanity)" were promoted to good article status. This month's "Recommended Alternative Album" is Sleater-Kinney - Dig Me Out (1997).

New members Arleach, Panic!out, N0tverycreative, and Gallagher2x2 joined the alternative music fold during April. Editors User:WesleyDodds

EarthBound - GA failed

Hello DM, just letting you know I've decided to fail EarthBound. It's not something I enjoyed doing, there's really not a lot left to do. But, since Nojr must be busy IRL, it seems pointless to leave it there and keep checking every day. Anyone can look at the remaining minor issues, fix and renominate for a (hopefully) quick GAN. Would you mind taking a look at the article's talk page and seeing whether I've made any errors? Someoneanother 18:32, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it's never pleasant, but it's part of the "job", I guess. Everything on the talk page looks OK. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 00:57, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Would like your opinion on GA review for White Mountain art

Hi there. I'm new to GA review, but I guess I know how to pick 'em. For my 5th review I chose White Mountain art. You may have seen the comments on the GAN talk page. The review has been rather confusing. I wrote a review, but neglected to check to see that it was still nominated. Although I found what I considered to be multiple issues with MOS, OR and POV, it had been passed by another editor, User:Jack Bethune. User:Malleus Fatuarum delisted it and I posted my comments on the talk page and put the article on hold. Jack Bethune, in turn, took my suggestions and recommended, disagreed with, or advised the principal author to disregard my comments. The principal author, User:JohnJHenderson is now understandably confused. So I'm asking for experienced GA reviewers to look at the article and the talk page and offer some kind of consensus as to what he should do to bring it to GA. I appreciate anything you can do. Thanks. --Moni3 (talk) 01:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Dihydrogen Monoxide...Several people have expressed an interest in my next probable nomination for adminship. Messaging people when it happens would look a lot like canvassing, so I would prefer not doing that. If you are interested in it, you could add this to your watchlist. If it is created, you will know, maybe even before I do depending on how often you check your watchlist. If you wish to gush prior to it being officially up, have fun, but only when it happens please. I am in no particular rush. Have a very nice day! :) - LA @ 09:56, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Request for assistance

Hello there. At the moment, I am working on the Unreal Tournament article (want to get it to GA, then FA). So far, I have added a "Reception" section, and a new System Requirements table. Bits of the new re-written article are lingering in my sandbox at User:Wackymacs/Sandbox2- None of the new Gameplay section has been implemented yet. My goal is to get rid of the weapons/game types/special features lists, and then convert those to prose. I would most appreciate it if you could collaborate with me on this. Thanks! — Wackymacs (talk) 16:56, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Uploading to commons

I have been thinking about this a little, but not to make things easier for others. I was slightly frustrated that because someone copied my images to the commons (something I am fine with, of course, because I license them as public domain) that my original upload to wikipedia was then deleted. Essentially it is insignificant, but now the record of my contributions to wikipedia has been reduced through no action of mine.

At the moment I am not interested in contributing to other wikimedia foundation projects. I just want to build a good encyclopedia. I feel that it is the foundations responsibility to coordinate information sharing between projects and based on this principle it is someone else's concern. Does that make sense or is using the commons so simple that I really should upload to it, especially since I agree with its aims of freely sharing media? - Shiftchange (talk) 10:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

RFA

I think it was really wrong to cast that past account stuff at my RFA. Best, NonvocalScream (talk) 22:27, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Are you implying I've lied about your past? dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 22:27, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I've not attempted to use any history to my credit except the fact that I've no block log, and no sanctions. You attempt to cast doubt on me using what you believe may be the past history. I think that is unfair. NonvocalScream (talk) 22:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

(ec with Iridescent, this is what I originally typed.) I've agreed with you that you have a clean block log, so I am using it in your favour just as you are. I have not mentioned sanctions as I can't recall any, but at a glance I think you are correct that there were none. As for your past account, I have not made anything public, but those that (like me) are aware of its past name will agree that the circumstances around that account are valid topics for discussion, hence I will (without identifying the account) allude to them. And I am not opposing, so I fail to see how this is unfair. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 22:37, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Since you'd already posted I do have a prior account which I no longer edit under, and it has never been blocked and is not/has not been under any sanction when you transcluded the RFA, you can hardly attack H2O for bringing it up. Do you really think Arbs don't leak? I could probably hop over to one of the BADSITES right now if I wanted to find out who you used to be. — iridescent 22:31, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I ask that no more attempts be made to identify, or identify with the prior account for concern. And I have faith in the people in positions of trust like the arbitrators, that they do not leak. I'm not attacking, I'm discussing. Regards, NonvocalScream (talk) 22:33, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

(post ec comments) Iridescent; I didn't get it via an ArbCom link, I got it via a "badsite". I am not attempting to identify your account, NonvocalScream; I have made this very clear. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 22:37, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Daddy Cool DYK

First up, thanks for the Barnstar - its much appreciated.

Secondly:

I have no idea how to nom Daddy Cool for DYK, I would be honoured if you could assist here. Probably a fact about "Eagle Rock" would be good e.g. . . .Australian 1970s band Daddy Cool's debut single, "Eagle Rock" remained at #1 on the National Singles Chart for a (then) record ten weeks. It was replaced by the song for which they were named, "Daddy Cool" performed in Chipmunks style by Drummond (aka Mississippi later Little River Band)...

If length permits one could include that the original 1957 version of "Daddy Cool" was by US doo-wop group The Rays.

I believe but can't prove, verify or ref it that this would be the only time in music history where a #1 song by a band is replaced by a tribute song titled with that band's name.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 21:27, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I had a go at self-noming with:

• ... that Daddy Cool’s 1971 single "Eagle Rock" remained at #1 on the Australian National charts for a record ten weeks. It was replaced by "Daddy Cool", the song for which they were named, performed in Chipmunks style by Drummond (later became Little River Band)?(self-nom)--

I wasn't sure whether to put it at top of noms list for 9 May or at bottom: there seems to be no distinct order, there was no entry for 10 May. Even though I started "improving" Daddy Cool on 7 May I opted for 9 May when it was first 5 times or more than when I got there. It's now about 6 times that size.

BTW I'm going to rate Daddy Cool at B class now.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 22:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Original nom at DYK was too long, I've edited it and Art LaPella (talk) states its acceptable in length. Other editors will review it for verifiability and if accepted it should be on DYK. Thanks for the idea.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 23:09, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

If you've got time, could you take a look at Half-Life 2: Episode Two and review it for GA? Gary King (talk) 00:04, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

All in good time my friend...the best way to get a quick GA review is to do some reviews yourself. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 06:35, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough, although I think I'm a better content creator than a content reviewer. I don't like criticizing other people's work, probably partially because I know how it feels when your work is heavily criticized. Of course, I've grown accustomed to that by now :) Gary King (talk) 19:52, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, you are a great content creator, no doubt about that! :) I try not to look at my GA reviewing as criticising others' work, more like providing constructive feedback, though I see how it can be taken the wrong way. In any case there's no hurry. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 23:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I've taken your advice to heart and have begun reviewing nominations at WP:FAC because that is where I spend a lot of my time now. Gary King (talk) 06:41, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Rfb participation thanks

Hi, Giggy.

I wanted to personally thank you for taking part in the project-wide discussions regarding my candidacy for bureaucratship. After bureaucratic discussion, the bureaucrats decided that there was sufficient significant and varied opposition to my candidacy, and thus no consensus to promote. Although personally disappointed, I both understand and respect their decision, especially in light of historical conservatism the project has had when selecting its bureaucrats. If you have any further suggestions or comments as to how you think I could help the project, please let me know. Once again, thank you for your support in both of my requests, and thank you for particular brand of ever-so-slightly irreverent humor that helps remind us that wikipedia supposed be be a labor of fun and love. -- Avi (talk) 16:14, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi DHMO; I wanted to say thank you for supporting my request for adminship, which passed with 100 supports, 0 opposes and 1 neutral.

My GA Reviewing

I have passed GA nominations with some sort of review or commentary. I am quite tired of being warned that I am doing the wrong thing (when it comes to GA Reviewing), etc and maybe I am. I am also conerned at the fact that beforehand I had never recieved any complaints about the previous articles I passed. And I noticed that it wasn't until the Friends Review that I began recieving these such messages. I know your trying to help, and I thank you for your efforts to help me understand exactly what I'm doing wrong. I am tired of recieving such comments (no offense to you).

GA Mentoring

H₂O, I was thinking of asking you about GA mentoring, after the recent issues we've had with FACs. I'm not really into starting articles from scratch, but do really enjoy either cheanup work or collaborative work with others to hone an article to perfection. To help out with this, I was thinking of getting into GAN, peer review and possibly some FAC work more. It also means that I can review articles on the train during my commute home from work :).

If you'd be interested in helping put together a mentoring programme for me, I'd be interested. I'm glad to help out, and it's something that I'm interested in doing, when I get a chance. Many thanks, Gazimoff ^Write_Read 22:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I'd be delighted to. Not sure about a "program" as such, but what I generally do as part of WP:GAN/M is say "read WP:RGA and take a GAN and review it". Then I'll take a look over your shoulder and try and give you some advice/commentary. So go for it! dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 02:39, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Portal Intros

At Portal:Chicago, User:Cirt and I have been debating about the main imagery. There seems to be a current trend toward having a dynamic set of rotating images. Although the majority of WP:FPOs promoted last month had this feature, no current WP:FPOCs use this feature. He is in favor of converting the Chicago Portal in this manner using Portal:Chicago/Intro/Image. I have been against such a trend. We have debated on the portal talk page and our detailed opinions are there. In short, he thinks the feature adds dynamic artistic flair. I think that although the dynamic feature is good for giving variety in other sections of the portal, it is against the encyclopedic intent of the Portal because it does not introduce the portal to everyone in with the best summary. Does FPOC have a policy or do you as a director have an opinion?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 18:09, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your note.

As an editor, my opinion is in favour of random images; see Portal:Music of Australia, which I worked on and has rotation in place.

As a featured portal candidates director, I have no stance on this, and because there is no rule as to which method is preferred (as far as I am aware), I will regard opposition to an FPOC on the basis of the way in which images (or articles for that matter) are displayed as invalid.

In short, you are free to do what you wish, and this should not be held against you or your portal at FPOC. I hope this helps.

Madonna GA

Would you mind taking a look at the article on singer madonna. It is currently a GA article but im quite sure it no longer meets that standard. On a quick scan, the lead is poor, there are a number of unreliable sources, a number of unformatted sources and the article is too long. Its unnessarly long, its 105,000 bytes while the Michael Jackson article is 92,000 (a great accomplishment considering his complex public life). Admittedly its not fair to compare the two articles that way but i think you will see that the madonna article no longer meets the criteria. What are your thoughts on this? Cheers.

Some of the comments are a little frustrating - particularly wiki-linking the dates as we were told earlier that the dates were over-wikilinked by the same editor (also what's the international date format - you mean it isn't month, date, year?).... Any idea what we need to put in the external links - are they links to the Gurus' website etc? if so can easily copy the same from the article on the Gurus... Am not certain what is mean't by not all citations give full attribution - I guess I'm missing something... I would have thought citiation #17 was self explanatory as that's where we referenced how the albums charted on the American charts....

María del Luján Telpuk

I was surprised to wake up and see this got promoted. I don't think I would have passed it myself based on breadth. However, it probably incorporates all of her early life that can be found over the internet in English. Here are some issues:

1. I have never seen the GA icon at the top of a talk page. How did you do that?
2. You did not add her at WP:GA (neither in the main body nor at the top in the most recent).
3. The article that is most similar to her in the sense that it fully explains who a person is and what they are doing now the best that has failed for breadth is Thomas Wilcher, following closely on my list of pretty complete articles that might fail for breadth that are complete otherwise are Toni Preckwinkle, Steve Morrison (American football). Do you let breadth slide when a notable person does not seem to have the required info out in the public domain?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 13:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

P.S. I do not want to add the article at GA myself because it will look suspicious.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:16, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

1) I don't know...I didn't notice that either. I think one of the WikiProject banners does it; not sure... dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 07:57, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

2) I left a note on the GA talk page as I wasn't sure where to put it. See Wikipedia_talk:Good_articles#No_idea_where_to_add_this....

3) In this case, I couldn't really see how there could be any more information added to the article - bredth isn't about the number of words, it's about including all the relelvant information that has been published in reliable sources. In this case, it seemed to have been done. (Do you disagree? As the author, I expect you would know best if it was complete or not.)

I'll add the article to GA now. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 07:57, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

You look like a much better reviewer than me! ;) Some minor notes...I wouldn't say stuff like "...right from the start..." is a neutral issue (it's a prose issue; criteria one, so it should be mentioned), which is one of the reasons I don't judge issues directly to criteria (ie. I don't list out the critieria when reviewing). Otherwise, looks pretty good. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 07:57, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Can You Help Me

Hi! Can you help me with my article? Banya: The Explosive Delivery Man,it has been tagged for speedy deletion for being to short.

Also, where do I put the hang on template in my article?X27 (talk) 23:51, 20 May 2008 (UTC)X27

FT/FA

Ashnard mentioned that you would be interested in helping promote the Smash series into FT? That would be really helpful, but I'm concerned about the original's GA demotion and Brawl's failed FAC. Perhaps this set of articles would be helpful?

Main Page - History of video game consoles (seventh generation)

Articles - Wii, Playstation 3, Playstation Portable, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360

Anyways, if you need help, call me. I'm a little busy with 2008 Sichuan earthquake, but I can always spare some time for my original project.--haha169 (talk) 05:09, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Ironically, I delisted SSB from GA...I plan to work on it to get it up to standard (and the series article too) since these are probably my favourite games outside the Age of Empires series (my scope is limited!). And on that note I know very little about VG consoles, but I'm happy to help with copyediting or whatever if you'd like me to. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 12:36, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much. The B-class article is in serious need of lead expansion (though that isn't a big issue for GAN, but some details need to be filtered out, and I need some 3rd party help.--haha169 (talk) 23:50, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Yep, will do! dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 00:06, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

While we're on this topic, do you think I should re-nominate Brawl? It seemed really close last time - until Gimmebot archived it. --haha169 (talk) 22:59, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, erm, sorry, I closed it. I wasn't expecting anyone since the only reviewer was a bot who gave 100% inaccurate information. It told me to correct the usage of "didn't", and it didn't even appear in the article whatsoever. Maybe a comment on the talk page instead of PR... Sorry, once again.--haha169 (talk) 02:58, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Commented at PR! :) Your best bet is to harass WP:PRV...I find that helps! dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 03:42, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, yes, but I closed it. Am I allowed to re-open it? Not sure... anyways, do you have a satisfactory image editor? The characters one is in dire need of a backdrop similar to Melee's character one. --haha169 (talk) 23:12, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

IMO it being "open" or "closed" doesn't really matter...just ask people to comment and act based on their comment. I'm horrible with image editing; I used to leach off lincalinca but I'm not sure if he's still active... I think we have an image help desk somewhere where you could ask for help. Sorry... :S dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 00:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I've been looking for an image help desk, but couldn't find one. WP: VG isn't doing so much recently, so they aren't much help either. I'll see if lincalinca is still active. Thanks! --haha169 (talk) 01:10, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Could you please assess the GAN for History of video game consoles (seventh generation)? If it fails, oh well, but I really want to get my FT idea underway. Thanks for doing so if you have time. P.S.: Fun fact: There are no Wii related FAs except for the console's article and Wii Sports. --haha169 (talk) 05:36, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

That's because the Wii sucks? Hahaha...I kid. I'll try to look at the GAN soon. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 07:57, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I've had a look at your blog and the posts tagged "ageism" in particular. I suppose I've just displayed some, in a complimentary manner, I hope. It's your style of writing that misled me - for a sixteen year old, you've got a remarkably seasoned voice. I'm more than twice your age and I thought I was talking to an older man. I couldn't figure why you weren't an admin! Anyway, I got a bit jack of people telling me that I "should start a blog", so I did, just to spite the bastards.

BloodSweatTeacover.jpg

Cheers for that, not that it will make the slightest difference to his vandalbot... Do you think in all his "I'm enforcing policy" rants he's ever actually noticed that WP:NFURG isn't a policy? — iridescent 01:21, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:NFCC is policy, NFURG is guideline. The two are often and easily confused. NFCC does ask for NFURGs (rationales) but it is nowhere near as specific as the guideline (or it wasn't when I skimmed it a minute ago).

A useful tip; get WP:FURME. I used it for that edit (changed the edit summary though; I'm curious to see if the one I used will get reverted), it makes things a lot easier.

And if it makes a tagging like it did on Image:Guns of the Timberlands.jpg again, block it. There's no possible way that could be considered a legit tagging.

dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 01:25, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I've installed FURME (which I freely admit I've never heard of) as it looks very useful for things like this. I don't have any objections to the bots mistagging things - they do sometimes get things wrong - but I thought that once BC was gone, we'd seen the last of obsessive bot-creators whining that that their bot was working fine and any problems are with everyone else. Hopefully I won't need to use it too much; while I do do a lot of image work on Commons, I try to stick with either public domain or self-created ones and stay away from Wikipedia images for precisely this reason (the permanent whining of apparently everyone involved with Wikipedia images). For some reason, everyone on Commons - even people who are rambling trolls here like Kelly & Root - are invariably polite and helpful. Which is not the case here.

Are you planning on RFA 6 at any point? Let me know and I'll be glad to write one of the noms this time round. Although looking at what happened to MF, I'm not sure what my nomination is worth right now. — iridescent 01:45, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I like Commons. It's a nice place; I'm pretty active there too. But I also try and do what I can around here to prevent image deletion as much as possible... whenever I'm up for it, that is. I like to think that, slowly, things are looking up now that the foundation resolution date has passed. We'll see...

RfA 5, actually! :D A nom from you would be great, the issue is that you've (I swear) taken the nom offers in the double digits. Fine by me, but I'm sure someone would be displeased by that. Meh. Such is life.

dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 02:02, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Maybe you ought to get Root or Kelly to nominate you. No doubt it would be a surefire fail, but it would be worth it for great justice and epic lulz to see the wide variety of responses such controversial figures would draw. — iridescent 02:29, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

AWB job for Giggabot

Thanks for offering to do the AWB job using Giggabot. It is fairly simple, but would take the best part of an hour to do by hand. The task is as follows.

1. Make a list of all pages in the Talk: namespace which transclude Template:GAN.
2. For each such page, replace the transclusion of {{GAN|...}} with a transclusion of {{GA nominee|...}}. (Note the space, and the lower case n. Do not alter the subtopic or status parameters: just change the template name.)

Is that clear? Please ask if not: best to get it right the first time! Thanks again. Geometry guy 12:54, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I just missed you before nighttime Australia, so I ended up doing the AWB job myself. Thanks for the offer of help.

AWB Custom modules (C# 2.0)

I had a quick question for you. Since you are a member of BAG I was wondering if you had any experience with C Sharp. I'm trying to get a custom module for AWB to run without hiccups. Source here: Assessment Code. In the line that reads

string template = "WPOHIO";

I can only get it to recognize templates without hyphens within the name. For instance, WPOHIO is recognized while OH-Project is not. Do you see anyway this can be modified to allow the use of hyphens? If you don't know C# sorry for assuming you did. Thanks for your time. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 18:58, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the question... unfortuneatley I don't know Csharp. :( Looking over your code though, I think what you're doing could be done with basic AWB find and replaces. You're checking the talk page for a class= and adding the WPOHIO banner with that class, right? There could be a few (not many) errors, but I've done something pretty simliar in the past.

Re: GA reviewing

Yes, I spent a while reviewing it and the only error that I could find was a spelling error which I corrected myself. I wasn't going to let that fail the article. If you want it to be reassessed, I won't step in your way ——Ryan | t • c 11:33, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Nah, I just took a look and it looks pretty good. It's just that sometimes people miss stuff on long articles and I was hoping this wasn't the case. If you haven't seen it already WP:RGA makes for a useful read. Anyways thanks for helping. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 11:36, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Quick note

Just a quick thanks for the Betacommand Commons endorsement. With any luck I'll make some good use of this. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 08:29, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem, fingers crossed it'll be accepted. That said, I find using CommonsHelper easier myself, but each to his own. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 08:31, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

By the way, it seems you're not an admin. Why not? Interested? dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 08:31, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I've been toying with the idea for some time now, but I didn't want to self-nom (for no particular reason, really). To be honest, I really only see myself using the mop and bucket for just a few things, such as some vandalism-handling, working with protected pages (especially templates, as that's my speciality along with citations), and a other bits here and there. I'd always be ready to help whomever asks for it, but I'm concerned I'd be more of a very low-key admin, and I'm not sure that is wanted by the community at this time. Still, as I mentioned, I've been thinking about it. Probably best to apply for editor review first, just to get some third-party options as to my ability 'round here. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 08:39, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I've heard and seen plenty of good things about/from you. You've been around for a while. You've made plenty of edits. You've improved articles, reverted vandalism, and helped people out in other areas. The recent trend at RfA has been for low key candidates... I nudged Kakofonous through most recently, and there have been a few others. Your kind of thing. You up for a nom? dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 08:43, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I think I might be. I do, however, hereby reserve the right to screw up. My biggest problem is that I doubt I can answer many of the questions that will be posed. I simply haven't stepped very far into the areas that are typically asked of. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 08:47, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

My motto is RfA additional questions are not for fishing. IMO the questions are silly and unnecessary. If you're unsure on one and do want to answer, just take it slow. Read the policy, ask around, whatever. There's no rush. Anyway, I'm writing a nom now. Feel free to reject it if you're not feeling up for it when it's done. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 08:51, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

This is appreciated. It will at the very least determine opinion as to my readiness to step into that vasty nothingness. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 08:54, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Much thanks. I was thinking of being more active at AfD so I want to ask you, is AbsolutePunk.net a notable site?

I've fixed the article according to your comments.

User:Dihydrogen Monoxide/On Kurt and RfA

I would like to thank you for this page you have created. I was thinking of making one exactly like this until I found you had already made one, and you've said everything which needs to be said. Hopefully people will read this and start to respect Kurt's opinion. I find it disgusting that people don't respect what Kurt thinks, and even I myself don't agree with Kurt at times, but it's his opinion, and I, along with the rest of Wikipedia, should respect what he has to say, especially in a discussion. Thanks again, from myself and many others, I'm sure. Jack?! 14:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

I would welcome comments to my thoughts (at User talk:Dihydrogen Monoxide/On Kurt and RfA) that insinuating that someone is power hungry is a prima facie personal attack. xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 15:35, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Apropos of nothing, but am I the only one who finds Kurt's self-nom to the WMF a touch - uh - ironic? — iridescent 16:49, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, I think they're all self-noms, though, no? xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 16:52, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, correct, all self noms. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 23:20, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Without taking a side on the personal attack issue, I would point out that I don't condone or intend to defend straight out personal attacks. I would also point out that Kurt's comments could be read as personal attacks (I don't consider them to be so, but it's subjective), in the same sense, and again IMO, using his RfA from over a year ago as evidence against him (as done here) is equally a personal attack in that sense. My thoughts. By the way, I'm giggling to myself at the widespread linkage that the essay has received. Maybe I was right about RfA for once! :O (I doubt it :) dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 23:20, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Request for Peer Review help

Thank you for you work as a peer review volunteer. Since March, there has been a concerted effort to make sure all peer review requests get some response. Requests that have gone three days or longer without a substantial response are listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog. I have three requests to help this continue.

1) If you are asked to do a peer review, please ask the person who made the request to also do a review, preferably of a request that has not yet had feedback. This is fairly simple, but helps. For example when I review requests on the backlog list, I close with Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, ...

2) While there are several people who help with the backlog, lately I have been doing up to 3 or 4 peer reviews a day and can not keep this up much longer. We need help. Since there are now well over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, if each volunteer reviewed just one PR request without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog. To help spread out the load, I suggest those willing pick a day of the month and do a review that day (for example, my first edit was on the 8th, so I could pick the 8th). Please pick a peer review request with no responses yet, if possible off the backlog list. If you want, leave a note on my talk page as to which day you picked and I will remind you each month.

3) I have made some proposals to add some limits to peer review requests at Wikipedia_talk:Peer_review#Proposed_limits. The idea is to prevent any one user from overly burdening the process. These seem fairly reasonable (one PR request per editor per day, only four total PR requests per editor at a time, PR requests with cleanup banners can be delisted (like GAN quick fail), and wait two weeks to relist a PR request after it is archived), but have gotten no feedback in one week. If you have any thoughts on these, please weigh in.

Thanks again for your help and in advance for any assistance with the backlog. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 21:07, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Facebook FAC

Just noting that it has now been 10 days since I last posted my sourcing objections, and the nominator has yet to address a single issue. He's certainly been active on Wikipedia, so it doesn't look like time constraints is the issue here.

RE: RfA

I'm not sure there's anything that would change my mind in particular, I mean, I've seen your edits and I've seen you around elsewhere and almost everything i've seen is good. However, if a point has been raised about racist comments (i'm not sure about how substantial these claims are, but I trust OrangeMarlin just as much as I trust your opinion) then I have to take it into account, IMHO. If you could point out which incidents he is referring to then I may be able to further make up my mind.

That said, the incidents were supposedly 'off-wiki' and I may switch to support for that reason. To be honest, as you may be able to tell, i'm really unsure, thus the neutrality. Regards, CycloneNimrod^Talk? 09:49, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I believe he is referring to this blog post I made (as have some others in the RfA). I don't consider myself racist, and I disagree with his interpretation of the situation, but it's an opinion he's entitled to. I don't want to put words in his mouth, but from reading his oppose I take it this is why he's made it (as well as his other comments on the RfA page, obviously). dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 09:54, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Adminship

I mean this in the best possible way - are you sure you want to be an admin? In my opinion you're an excellent contributor. Once adminship settles in much of your time may be diverted away from editing and towards blocking people and arguing with trolls, not fun at all. If you feel you've already given much/the majority of your expertise to wikipedia then this might be a natural evolution, but by the looks of it you still have plenty of input to give.

Also, (and i want to say this in the most unpatronising way), I notice from your user page that you're still quite young. Remember there is much to achieve in life outside of wikipedia. You may find adminship takes up even more of your time. Is this what you really want? And you seem like a pretty bright person: are you applying yourself as well to other things? For the record i'm also one of the younger wikipedians here.

Wikipedia is a noble project and i appreciate your contributions and enthusiasm. Maybe this is quite a heavy response to a nomination for admin: but make sure you make the most of yourself and the time you have.

Ps. It was neither my intention to patronise nor anger you, only to make you think a little. Cheers. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 15:22, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

You know H2O's a 'crat on commons already, right? — iridescent 15:26, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

It appears it's already too late then. ahh!!! Sillyfolkboy (talk) 17:34, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Sillyfolkboy, I do understand what you're saying. Something it (partially) comes down to is "are you sure you want to be an admin" - to be perfectly honest, I don't care. Worst comes to worse, I can keep contributing to the mainspace, but if I do pass, I can help out in other areas too. It's not a big deal, I just think I can help the project and the community a bit more. If they don't want me to help in that way, that's cool too. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 01:41, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair play. You know some people go troll hunting after adminship and it always ends in tears. I'm glad you're not one of them. Keep up the good mainspace contributions. Good luck with the RFA, though short of divine intervention i don't think luck will be a factor! Unofficial support: don't feel offended by my missing signature. Take care.

Thanks for the comments. I can't promise to predict how the future will turn out, but I've got no intentions of being SockHunter Waterman for now, at least. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 23:03, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Matthew's questions

Check your last answer - you've identified when it is appropriate, but the question is about when it is inappropriate to ban. Risker (talk) 14:53, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Oops.... misreading. Going to fix now. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 14:54, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey

Just a quick note to let you know that I elaborated a bit at your RfA on my comment there. I also wanted to say, given recent events, that I haven't had any on- or off-wiki contact with anyone regarding anything related to you or your RfA. It's sad to feel the need to say that. Canvassing people to oppose an RfA is just wrong, and I'm sorry that you're having to deal with it in yours. Anyhow, my opinion is just... my opinion; your RfA looks likely to succeed, so take it for whatever you believe it to be worth. Best of luck. MastCell ^Talk 16:42, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks MastCell, appreciate the ping. The investigation into the canvassing is ongoing, I believe, but you say you weren't told and I believe you. We'll see what happens. I'll take your comments on board. Thanks and cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 23:03, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi. There has been some discussion of how to improve the FA-Team's functioning. It's be grand if you could comment on the new suggested structure, and perhaps also look at our current proposals. Thanks. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 18:36, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I need to keep better tabs on that. Will look. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 23:03, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Getting people to notice

Hey there Water,

I did want to let you know that you are allowed to use {{Rfa-notice}} to announce your RfA to people... I mean, I'm starting to wonder if anybody knows that you are running.Balloonman (talk) 19:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

With 241+ comments, my guess is yes, people do know. Al Tally ^talk 19:33, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Good afternoon, sir.

Well, it's the afternoon SOMEWHERE. (In Japan, I believe). Anyways, does my support of your RFA mean less to you because it was solely because I have a strong distaste for your opposition? Sincerely, MessedRocker (talk) 03:35, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

I really don't know what to make of it! (And yes, it's afternoon in Aus.) dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 08:00, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello!

Hello Alex! I supported you! I hope your RfA will pass.

Alex, I wanted to contact you about a month ago. I know about your contributions. I saw your name when I was new. And, about a month ago, I wanted to contact you. The only problem was...your user name is difficult to remember! "Dihydrogen Monoxide"! Now, I will remember it! Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 04:09, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
