Partisan Mix, Senate table, 110th_United_States_Congress

I guess you were the efficient person that merged the partisan info into the 110th_United_States_Congress article. My browser does not show the tags: "show / hidden" to make the table visible for the SENATE. The House partisan table has the tag. I can't figure out what's wrong. Perhaps you might? -- Yellowdesk 00:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm not much of an expert on such things, I just copied the format from another article. Can you see both at 109th United States Congress? If the section is high enough on the article to conflict with the TOC, that could be causing the problem. Sorry I can't help much. NoSeptember 00:34, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Yes I see both on the 109th. I'll see if I can figure it out. (but not until tomorrow.) -- Yellowdesk 00:44, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I see that the hidden tables were taken out before I could fix them; looks like there's a renewed reason to have a separate page again. -- Yellowdesk 23:59, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

List of admins

Yeah, sorry about that ;) I do have a very good excuse, I haven't had an internet connection for quite some time (since november thereabouts) and I just got it back a few days ago (I think my contributions will reflect that). I've updated it now, and I'll remember to do it about once a month in the future. Cheers! Oskar 22:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Random thoughts

Hey there. I fell for this trick while looking round your user pages. I like the signature linking to a welcome page, and the graph of admin seniority blocs is interesting. Should the blocs get longer or narrower over time? I was hoping to find that your username was something to do with Endless September, but I guess I'll have to settle for the lucky month explanation instead! Oh, before I forget, thanks for all the work you do on the Admin project. A nice slice of Wikipedia history there. Carcharoth 14:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Your subpage on subpages and my subpage for an editor's index

Thanks for the note; I'm glad you find my index helpful. I've been a bit surprised myself how useful it has become to me even in its unfinished state, and that it actually seems to be scaling pretty well. The universe of useful pages doesn't seem to be infinitely expanding as I explore it, to which gives me hope of getting somewhere near completion, though Wikipedia changes all the time, so an index is never "done", as you say.

I've also found your subpage to contain a lot of useful resources, and have added it and some of the listed subpages to my index. Since my index is aimed at editors, however, the two lists are likely never to have that much overlap, I'd guess, which is fine, since my goal is not to become the (English) Wikipedia Librarian.

Greetings in return

I hadn't seen the Wikiproject Law group, but it certainly looks like the kind of thing that I would enjoy working on. I think that our shared goal of listing all the current federal judges is an excellent one. I've also been working at putting together short pages with limited biographical information on each of them, starting with the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Perhaps a group of people might be able to start working on each circuit and then work our way down. Anyway, thanks for the heads up on the Wikiproject. Cheers, JCO312 18:41, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I was checking something on Wikipedia:Successful adminship candidacies#Archives and noted that at least two successful requests (Brad Beattie and 1ne) don't seem to be listed.

Template:User wikipedia/Administrator

I noticed that a number of users use this template to indicate that they are admins on other projects, but this template includes them into Category:Wikipedia administrators. (see User:CHV as an example.) Is there a way to include only enwiki admins into the category? I suppose we could also create new categories for admins of other projects, or create a parallel template for non-enwiki usage. I'm not sure how best to proceed. You seem to know how to handle these template parameter things. What do you suggest? NoSeptember 17:20, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Fixed. Rich Farmbrough, 17:49 27 January 2007 (GMT).

Are you sure? CHV and others still appear on the list. NoSeptember 18:12, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Yep. The category doesn't always update for a while (due to the job queue), and occaisionally not until the page is edited. I just did a dummy edit to User:CHV. The cat was already gone from the user page, though. Rich Farmbrough, 18:24 27 January 2007 (GMT).

RfA stats

Hi NoSeptember! I know you are very interested in requests for adminship, so I would appreciate your opinion on a page I've been working on, located here. It basically lists stats from every successful RfA (so far from September 06 to now) including edit count, length of time here, percentage, promoter etc. I hope nothing has been done already, as it took quite a while to do. This is also why I always put the edit count on the talk page of every new RfA I visit if it hasn't been yet – you can never know when it might come in handy ;) Anyway, I would really appreciate it if you'd take a look.

Hey ... I had already created the table before I saw your message on WT:RFA.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Nomination data

Here's something I'm sure you'll find interesting... Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Nomination data. The "pending acceptance" needs removing from after your name though, at the bottom =) --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 21:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I will watch this page and perhaps add some requests. It's good to see you guys working together on this. NoSeptember 22:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

• Ok, try again :) This will save *you* a lot of time too, once we've got other pieces in place here. A number of your subpages on the adminship project will be included. That's why I suggested you be a clerk there too. Now, signup already :) --Durin 23:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

• 1) The whole idea of clerks for records keeping doesn't make sense to me, overly bureaucratic and all. What are we worried about people doing to these pages? Creating clerks is asking for confusion and is unnecessary outside of the dispute resolution areas of the project.
• 2) As for my project, I have offered in the past that any of my pages can be moved into project space if people want them there, and that still stands. Keeping them together has mostly been to improve their visibility and accessability - I want people to find them.
• 3) The general idea of having a place to coordinate data is good, since anything posted on WT:RFA would get buried. I guess the first request will be to do some analysis of co-noms, since someone mentioned that on WT:RFA recently. So I will watch and help some, but I will have to decline any sort of clerking role. Cheers, NoSeptember 00:24, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

• The reason for the clerking role is my concern that few people will give due diligence to stepping through each and every single edit to RfA, which is what it takes to keep track of the raw data. The clerks have no other role. Any analysis, charts, etc...that's not restricted to clerks. I suppose we can re-word things there to move that off to the appropriate subpage rather than part of the larger set. As for co-nom data, neither myself nor Majorly have kept track of that. I doubt there is much correlation between success and co-noms. It's possible; anything is. But, the only strong correlation I have seen is edit counts, and a slightly weaker one with time on Wikipedia. --Durin 03:19, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

• I've deprecated the clerk role on that page now. Also, you may wish to read/comment on Wikipedia:Community_noticeboard#Clerks_of_all_types_need_to_be_deprecated. --Durin 15:41, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. There seems to be something of a trend (a dip). It will be especially interesting to see the data for the early months of 2007 when available as I expect it shows a continued upward trend. Your graphs would be easier to read if you used more rolling averages :). NoSeptember 21:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

• That IS a rolling average! Each data point is the last 20 RfAs averaged. It looks chaotic because I restricted the Y axis to 70-100, rather than 0-100. At 0-100 it looks pretty flat. :) --Durin 21:47, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

• It occurs to me that there was a sudden drop around the Pedo wheel war. A 89% avg before, a 84% avg after, and then a 87% avg since November. Of course the rolling averages can be played with, last 40 perhaps. But I have no right to complain, since I never put these graphs together myself (mea culpa).

The Reserve at Lafayette Hill deleted article

Hi,

I'm one of the people who worked on the article for The Reserve at Lafayette Hill (I'm basically the only one who knows how to use a computer well enough to do it so I was elected). If I am understanding correctly you deleted it because it was some kind of advertisement? I don't know how to respond to that! I mean, it was created because it's a major local landmark, and an important part of the regional landscape in this historic area. Having more people know about it doesn't benefit us in any way. I mean, we're not realtors or anything. We're just people who live in the Philadelphia area, who know about the Reserve, who felt it should have an article describing it because it is significant. I don't see where it violates the inclusion criteria.

If I'm mistaken about what you meant by g11, please let me know. I'm not really up on these things. But I can definitely say that the article was NOT an ad. It grew out of a need to have all the available information in one area, for people to refer to, since so many people were asking about the development - and not just local people. Visitors from other countries were asking for how to get more information about it. So we thought it would be a useful article. Obviously you felt differently. If you can explain the problem, that would be great. Any other suggestions on where to put the information would be appreciated. And before you ask - no, I have no idea why people care about it, but there it is, people do :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Webhill (talk • contribs) 20:19, 22 February 2007 (UTC).

Fuzzy Zoeller edit controversy

Hello, there. As you may or may not know, the Miami Herald recently revealed that professional golfer Fuzzy Zoeller has filed a lawsuit against Josef Silny & Associates, Inc. for adding false statements to his Wikipedia biography.

For data gathering purposes, an SRS of 20 administrators has been created, you being one of them. I would like you to comment on this situation and its possible implications to Wikipedia, the accused company, and the general welfare of the community in general.

Feel free to comment however you wish. I ask that you email me your responses via my emailuser page so as to reduce bias in your responses. (Again, don't post your responses on my talk page.)

I see you removed the thread, which is fine with me. I added this — is it WP:BEANS? Duja► 11:50, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I've wondered about that myself, since the monthly lists are quite visible to the smart trolls. Perhaps each admin should create a user subpage that no one knows about to be cascade protected with just one or two sensitive titles when the situation arises. NoSeptember 12:00, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm fine with it being protected. And if they are protected, it doesn't matter if the smarter trolls are able to see it. And even if it's done via an admin's user subpage, it will always be visible in their contributions, surely? Probably better to keep them in one central area. Proto ► 12:19, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

User:NoSeptember/admin username changes

Hi, I was updating this page and added a few older name changes from the rename archive. Just wondering- how far back should this go? People sometimes request renames for privacy reasons and although its all there in the logs not everyone knows to check there. Perhaps it would be best not to include change more than certain period in the past to allow old changes to be forgotten? What are your thoughts? WjBscribe 01:36, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I plan to go the whole way back, but then the log only goes back to mid 2005. On privacy issues, if the information is in a public log that is not too big, it is easily searchable anyway, so I see no reason to not show any entries. Sometimes hiding something in plain sight is the best, it wouldn't be hard to compare the page and the log to see which ones are missing, and that would point people where to look. I'm also planning to move some of the non-admin entries of people who later became admins up to the admin section with a footnote about timing, since tracking admins is the primary reason for the page.

Fix -- thanks

Thanks for this fix. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 17:30, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

RfA/Wikibreak

Totally unreasonable! How demading are you? :-) Still thanks for the support. I know you don't !vote in RfAs that often... WjBscribe 23:20, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, NoSeptember!

I was just going to look up some admin-stuff on your admin project (I'll update my sorted list in a day or two, btw), and saw that you had gone on wikibreak. Well that sucks! I hope it's something silly like you have a busy real life or something and not that you have become disillusioned by wikipedia or some such horrible thing. I hope to see you back real soon, wikipedia is a worse place with dudes like you gone. Cheers! Oskar 20:35, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

PS. Awesome talk-page idea, I might copy that on my next wikibreak. I'll be reverting like a good little soldier :)

Missed

I think you missed this RfA study: User:PullToOpen/RfA study (not linked from your study list, I think). -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  03:41, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back

Good to see you back. I have a question, is the desysopping of User:DVD R W and immediate reysopping as User:D. Recorder by Redux an admin name change for the sake of your pages, given that it wasn't done as a rename? (See WP:BN for Redux's explanation) WjBscribe 22:52, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't add it to the list of log entries, perhaps we can add it as a new section explaining alternate/duplicate accounts. It never hurts to have the information on the page somewhere. D. Recorder will also end up on the special cases list at User:NoSeptember/crat stats. Last year Electionworld did a similar thing. Also, per "About the NoSeptember Admin Project," you don't need to consult me if you want to add or change something like this to improve or expand a page, feel free to go ahead and make the change first. Cheers, NoSeptember 23:23, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:ISR set for deletion

I wanted to give you a fair notification that since the page WP:Ignore some rules was showing as deleted, I set up the redirect WP:ISR to also be deleted. If this is wrong, please let me know, it's the first deletion set up I have done. Thanks - -- Marcsin | ^Talk 18:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, no problems here. I almost forgot about that old page. I'm surprised it survived for a year before getting deleted. NoSeptember 21:37, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism to your subpage: Main

Just letting you know of a couple of vandalism attempts to User:NoSeptember/Main as well as the creating of a talk page for that subpage. The subpage was reverted and I put the talk page up for speedy delete. Just thought I would avoid any potential confusion and give you a heads up. --Celain 07:18, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Bill Mescher's death

Thank you for finding the source. I was shocked to hear his death, as I originally started the Wikipedia article on him. RIP. Wooyi^{Talk, Editor review} 22:45, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

There are not many online sources of breaking news about local politicians. NoSeptember 22:48, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

A local politician...who earned a little national fame for medical marijuana, but sadly, his bill hasn't passed yet when he died. This is saddest thing happening in a person's death is not having done something he tried. Wooyi^{Talk, Editor review} 23:00, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

True enough. Btw, it would be good to welcome the user who added the info., I'm sure he was unaware of our BLP concerns. NoSeptember 23:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Bug

Thanks for bringing it to my notice. I wasn't aware of it. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 17:41, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

My mistake. I assumed it had to do with only failed noms, that's why I didn't check the diff. I won't be sleepy the next time though. ;) =Nichalp «Talk»= 17:19, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Colours on User talk:NoSeptember/List of Administrators

Seems to be a problem with the colours on there :) Majorly (hot!) 12:22, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Yes, I noticed earlier on my enwiki logs page that you can't get away without putting on the closing tags anymore. NoSeptember 12:33, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

WP:LA Reversion

It must have been a problem with popups... I use them rather a lot, it has to be said. I'm using Vista and IE7, so i can't see what's happened. I made the reversion because a brand new user added himself to the list as a first or second edit, I think! No harm intended! Hawker Typhoon 14:08, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

A Request from NoSeptember

You were featured today

I'm at Georgia Tech, today there's a symposium called "The new face of computing" and the example of wikipedia was brught up and Would you know it, the speaker starts talking about your initial creation of the John Roberts article.(look online for the session 3 video ) -- Message from 2 March 2007

If anyone can find a link to the transcript or a film clip of the above, please let me know. NoSeptember

Chart of renames

Just to let you know I'm working on a chart of renames by month for the crat stats page. Draft is underway at User:WJBscribe/Drafts/3. WjBscribe 08:15, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Wow, that is very cool. Be sure to let Nichalp know, he was the one who requested this. NoSeptember 10:12, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

OK - don't think he's back from his Wikibreak yet. I've finished the table - I think its accurate though allow for small amount fo human error :-). I didn't include crats who stopped being crats before the rename log existed. However the table does include crats who have never performed a single rename. Do you think those should come out? WjBscribe 11:34, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

When I set up the RfA table I removed all crats with no entries. I think there are one or two who did special case actions but no normal RfAs, and they are not in the chart. I would remove those without any actions. NoSeptember 11:39, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps Nichalp will be happy to know he only has to do another 65 renames to become the most active lifetime in that area :-). NoSeptember 11:56, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, though Rdsmith4 sets the record for most renames done in a month :-). Do you think its now ready to be added to the stats page? WjBscribe 12:04, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh Sure, I would have been fine with it being constructed on the page too, I'm not too demanding ;). NoSeptember 12:07, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Well I thought as your page is linked from WP:CRAT I'd keep the work in progress in my userspace. Also means I can delete any edits that make me look bad :-). WjBscribe 12:10, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your help

Thanks for helping out at the help desk. Now I'll have to wait four days before I can insert that image. :(. Alphablast 21:59, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey

I finally got round to creating a userpage, what do you think? Alphablast 13:50, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Esperanza (Emerald Society)

I know all about Esperanza, however this project is less "Bueacratic" and more encyclopedic building, don't worry. It won't get out of hand. Alphablast 10:20, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

What do you plan to do? Alphablast 10:52, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Me? Nothing. It doesn't bother me. But there are plenty of others who comb through user space for MfD candidates. We've had "Friends lists" and "signature lists" debated not too long ago, for example. NoSeptember 10:57, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Well lookie, one page is already up for deletion :o. NoSeptember 11:06, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually that is a valid deletion point, its not needed, and I have removed it from the userbox, tagging the category with db-author. Alphablast 11:41, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Early admins

Hey, NoS. I'll leave this here, rather than start a new talk page buried in the subpages: the link you have at User:NoSeptember/RfA chronological#Mid 2002 for J Hofmann Kemp actually appears to be about Jheijmans (unless it's Lee that was confused). I haven't changed it, though, in case you know something I don't. How you have the patience to comb through the mailing list archive is beyond me, though. . . Chick Bowen 05:00, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. Fortunately many of the early mailing list archives are not that long and have subject lines such as "Sysop request", making it easy to search. I'm sure I've missed a bunch though. NoSeptember 12:52, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Bush v. Gore

Regarding your 27 May 2007 comments about a lack of history in the Bush v. Gore article, you're absolutely right. I'm compiling a synopsis of chronological events prior to the final SCOTUS decision. There were quite a few more events than those mentioned in the article -- I think >40. The Wiki Bush v. Gore article has good references (including the Palm Beach decisions) so I'll go through some of them too. If I edit the article itself I'll let the Wiki powers translate the edits to another page, e.g., the one you cite, if that's more appropriate. In the meantime I'll add to the Talk page. Thanks for your contributions.
