My bad.

I thought the period being inside the link brackets was accidental. I didn't realize that it was once a valid link. AutomaticStrikeout (T • C • Sign AAPT) 21:15, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

No worries :) Legoktm (talk) 22:20, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

I am practicing writing an article, and am wondering if it is understandable.

The article is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Nintendo_Nightmare I am TheUnknownNinjaNN2, so please reply on that talk page. If you see any ways to improve it (in the writing area) please let me know.

User:Cyberpower678/RfX Report

Hi. I think you should rewrite User:Cyberpower678/RfX Report as a Scribunto module. title:getContent() will get you the page text you need to parse. It shouldn't take more than an hour to do, I don't think, and it would nearly deprecate the bot. --MZMcBride (talk) 23:26, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Mattala_Rajapaksa_International_Airport Semi Protection Section

Hi, You declined my semi protection request. Reason for the request is potentially one person keep entering false information to "Incident" section. He is trying to put bias information regarding this incidents and trying to generate anti government discussion. I try to correct those information several times but didn't work. Blocking such a users doesn't work because Sri Lanka has dynamic IP internet connection. Any suggestion would be appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mihitha (talk • contribs) 22:39, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

@Mihitha: When I reviewed the request, I declined it because while there were some non-constructive IP edits, there were also some constructive ones. I've added the page to my watchlist to keep an eye on it. Is there a wikiproject we can alert to get even more eyes on it? Legoktm (talk) 01:05, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

User-talk:... cleanup

Thanks for cleaning up User-talk:31.52.238.121. I the move log you asked "why is this here?"? Answer: The beta WP:AFCH script had a bug in it for about an hour. I was fixed [1]. I'll go back and check my usage during that hour to see if there are any other usages by me. I wouldn't be surprised if the only users during that time were me and the script author. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 14:03, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

OK, I triggered the bug 3 times. You fixed one, another admin fixed one, and User-talk:108.226.163.90 remains. Another editor tagged User talk:108.226.163.90 for HISTMERGE earlier today. I merged the content just now. I've notified the script author about this conversation. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 14:15, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
Actually it was User:Launchballer who asked that, but thank you for the info. Looks like another admin took care of the histmerge so I think everything should be in the right place now :) Legoktm (talk) 23:56, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I saw your RfA went successfully. I also saw that you commented on my RPP, which just proves that I was right in supporting you on RfA. Good luck and enjoy. World Traveller101 12:03, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Can she excuse my wrongs

The article Can she excuse my wrongs has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

File has been transwiki'd to s:Legoktm

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:34, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

o.O! I removed the tag :) Legoktm (talk) 13:36, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Thx, but

Thanks for the semi prot on SubRip, but I'm mightily confused about the missing lock symbol. According to Template:Pp-vandalism there's no way to put a lock symbol on semi vand protected pages anymore. Wha? That seems wrong, somehow. --Lexein (talk) 02:46, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

No problem. Normally User:Lowercase sigmabot tags it, but it seems the Toolserver is down so the bot isn't running. User:Σ would know which template to use. Legoktm (talk) 04:47, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) I added the template. I'm not sure what you mean by "there's no way to put a lock symbol on semi vand protected pages anymore". The Anonymouse (talk | contribs) 04:54, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
Awesome :D Legoktm (talk) 05:19, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
My confusion stems from the example instance on Template:Pp-vandalism. It says "protected" not "semi-protected". So I interpreted that to mean "no way to put a lock symbol on semi vand protected pages anymore". Thanks for adding it, though I don't understand what makes it "semi" on the page, but non-semi on the template page. O_o. --Lexein (talk) 10:33, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
It looks like it uses the {{PROTECTIONLEVEL}} magic word, so it can detect whether the page is semi-protected or full-protected, and adjusts the text based on that. Legoktm (talk) 10:35, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
Yes, Template:Pp-vandalism contains a number of neat tricks, but the essential one here is {{PROTECTIONLEVEL:edit}}. That returns a string value according to the minimum access right needed to edit the page. For a fully-protected page, it returns sysop; for a semi-prot page, it returns autoconfirmed; for an unprotected page, it returns an empty string. --Redrose64 (talk) 11:02, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
Ah, thanks. I'm struck by a sudden desire to document what Redrose64 has written, in a transcludable section, to be included in all Pp- related templates. Any objections? --Lexein (talk) 08:32, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
WP:PF, also the first link in that section Meta magic words page. --Redrose64 (talk) 10:54, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
I edited Template:Pp-vandalism/doc for greater understanding by template users who aren't devs. --Lexein (talk) 15:52, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Buttmin and Hoy

Hey Legoktm, and congratulations on your successful RfA. I see that you deleted Buttmin and Hoy: Part 1 (2011). I recently tagged Brent Zachary Thompson for speedy deletion, he was listed as the star (was it a YouTube video? I can't see the deleted page). I can't check the IMDB links from where I am now, but if it gets declined, could you take a look given your previous involvement. Much thanks, and congratulations again.--kelapstick(bainuu) 18:03, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Question

If I create accounts, do administrators know my ip address? How to know my ip address if I create accounts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fceefyahoo.ca (talk • contribs) 22:57, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

C.Fred answered this on your talk page, but the answer is basically no, we don't know your IP address. A certain set of trusted users called CheckUsers can look it up in cases of abuse. Legoktm (talk) 23:57, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

EU Flags.

WTF is your problem with adding EU flags? EU flags needed to be added to those airlines, since they are no longer entities of single countries within the EU. For example, Air France-KLM is no longer has heavy operations solely in either of those countries. They have hub airports throughout the EU. If you disagree with something, don't automatically revert it and call it vandalism. How old are you? 12? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.100.254.151 (talk) 23:55, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're referring to. Is this an edit I reverted? Legoktm (talk) 23:58, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thank you for deleting the "List of NFL Quarterbacks" redirects & leftover talk page. Their continued existence was getting annoying, so I really appreciate your lightning-quick action. And congrats on becoming an admin! It sure must be nice to finally be able to keep things tidy on your own.

Article deletion of Sabur Khan

Being the president a Dhaka Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI), which is a large organization bearing 10000+ business organizations in Bangladesh & contributing to entire economic development of the nation, Mr. Sabur Khan may be counted as a notable person. --Alam5131 (talk) 07:20, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The reason I deleted Sabur Khan and then protected it against creation was that it was a community decision to delete the article (you can read it here). If you believe the subject is notable, you can start a deletion review to get it restored. Legoktm (talk) 08:16, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
I'm about 99% certain THIS shouldn't be where it is. Am I correct?
- Smike (talk) 00:24, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
Nice catch. I undid it since the editor already made a request at WP:REFUND. Legoktm (talk) 00:28, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
Oh good. I know there's a Wrath of Khan joke in here somewhere...

Deleted article Wolven

You deleted Wolven with a reason of Expired PROD, concern was: Non-notable book series. WP:NB.

You did not notify me so I did not have any chance of contesting the PROD. - Michel Vuijlsteke (talk) 12:00, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Proposed Deletion templates stay on the page for at least a week. They are then only deleted once they have expired if no-one objects. The deleting admin has no obligation to notify anyone - the tagger does, I think. Anyway, I see no wrongdoing here. Mdann52 (talk) 12:07, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
Indeed, it was not Legoktm who tagged it for PROD - that was Crispulop (talk · contribs). --Redrose64 (talk) 13:33, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
@Mvuijlst: According to the WP:PROD guidelines, there is no requirement to notify the creator that it was proposed, it's just good courtesy to do so. The good news is that I can undelete the article for you if you want, just comment below saying as much, and I'll take care of it :) Legoktm (talk) 21:00, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Protection?

Thanks for finally blocking the Mark Zuckerberg talk page vandal. Since you only blocked him for three days and he came back right after his last block was lifted with the same behavior, perhaps you might consider protecting the page to prevent the same from happening over and over again? Winkelvi (talk) 04:15, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm really hesitant to protect a talk page, especially just for one user. I'm reading a bit more in depth and am leaning to extending the block. Legoktm (talk) 04:22, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Ok. I'll defer to your experience. Winkelvi (talk) 04:28, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Anton Zlobin deletion

why did you delete the Anton Zlobin page. He scored both goals in Shawinigan's only Memorial Cup victory in their 40-year history as well as being the top scorer for his junior team in each of the past two seasons. The page was hardly a stub so I don't understand the need to eliminate the information.

Hi, as the deletion notice says, it was deleted because the person was a junior player who did not meet WP:NHOCKEY. If you want I can undelete the page, or you can file a formal request at WP:REFUND. Legoktm (talk) 05:17, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I would appreciate it if you brought the page back, as well as Sean Maguire, Bryan Rust, and Scott Wilson. I know they might not meet a certain view of notability as far as junior/collegiate players go, but I've seen far worse pages about players who've achieved far less floating around. If you do you can just ignore the post below this one.

All  Done. Btw, if you can sign your posts with ~~~~ that would be great. Legoktm (talk) 06:39, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Deleted Pages

Okay, I understand that I may be a bit liberal with 'preeminent honors' but the pages for Anton Zlobin, Sean Maguire, Bryan Rust, and Scott Wilson, had information in them that was sited in several places. I you wanted to eliminate non-notable pages from your archives why did you go after the pages I stated and spent a good deal of time making sure they had as many facts and resource material as I could find rather than deleting pages like Matia Marcantuoni or Josh Archibald which fall under the same notoriety umbrella as the pages you did eliminate but have almost no data other than career statistics. I don't have what I had written saved anywhere else so I would appreciate being able to access the deleted pages even if you decide to leave them blank

And before you direct me to refer to the note you left me on why the pages were deleted, I received no notification. The only reason I know of their deletion is because I was going back to update the information on one of the pages.

P.S. Please don't go full Cyberman on the active pages I referred to and delete them as well.

@Ignatzmice: I reviewed most of the IP edits and found that none of them were substantial enough to prevent me from semi'ing, and the IP vandalism far outweighed it. I also considered Joe Decker's comment about semi'ing for 1-3 weeks, and ended up going with a shorter duration to lessen the impact to "good IPs". Legoktm (talk) 04:03, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Possible Sockpuppetry

Hi Legoktm,

You just deleted a page entitled The Kayla Way which was created earlier by a different user. One username is Imshmart and created the page you deleted. I don't know who the other user is. I'm letting you know because this may be a case of sockpuppetry. Thanks.

—Σosthenes12 Talk 23:46, 31 May 2013 (UTC)Sosthenes12

Looking at the deleted history, both versions were created by Imshmart. It's possible it was created under a different name w/ a different user, but I didn't see anything in the recent deletion log. Legoktm (talk) 23:49, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

GFDL

I've undone this edit to madam bot's exclude list. Sites now need to be licensed under CC-BY-SA (and optionally GFDL as well) and GFDL by itself is no longer enough. See Wikipedia:Licensing update#Content restrictions - I'm sure this has been documented somewhere better but as per usual tying to find it is difficult (Wikipedia's help/information system is atrocious and must be a nightmare for new users but that's a discussion for another day).
