Userpage

One thing - what do you want on your userpage? I'm not being funny, I'm just wondering. I got the menu and the userboxes, but is there anything else I'm missing? Just wondering, Queenie 15:04, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Your Request for Adminship

Dear Paxse,

I have closed your recent RfA as successful per the consensus of the community. Congratulations, you are now a sysop! Please make sure you're aware of the Administrators' how-to guide and are aware of the items on the Administrators' reading list. Best of luck in your new position! —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 12:19, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Wow, well done! :) Queenie 12:25, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Hip-hip, hooray! :D Way to go, Paxse! Don't forget that you can use User:ThisIsaTest to test your shiny new admin buttons. I've got your t-shirt right here... --Dylan (chat, work, ping, sign) 12:28, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Oopsie, forgot the mop... --Dylan (chat, work, ping, sign) 12:31, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Wield it with pride, Paxse. You deserve it! --**Dylan** (chat, work, ping, sign) 12:31, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations! I noticed you mentioned in your RfA you'd like to help out at DYK. I can try to answer any questions you have (though I'm not an admin). We need the most admin help in updating DYK. The master queue page shows the upcoming DYK hooks and the times they're scheduled to be on the Main Page. There are instructions for doing an update at the bottom of each individual queue (for example, here). Also, you should consider adding yourself to the DYK admins list. Shubinator (talk) 15:36, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations, Paxse!! Whoo-hoo! :-D Maedin\^talk 15:54, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

At five euros a second, I can't stop, but I saw your RfA being closed on the ol' watchlist and thought I'd send my congratulations. Enjoy! - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 17:57, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

OMG you cained that RFA. That has to be the easiest RFA I've ever seen. I guess the more you stay away from wiki drama the more successful you'll be. This of course doesn't mean that you can ignore your old buddy Blofeld! Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 12:42, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Jordy van Loon

Congrats on the adminship! In case you're still interested in my oddball articles: this time there's no chocolate involved. It's about a kid singer who got discovered when he did an impromptu performance on national television while (believe it or not) he was being glued behind a piece of wallpaper. I'm not a particular fan of his number 1 single, but the kid has a good voice, and this was just a fact too funny to leave out of DYK :) - Mgm|^(talk) 18:13, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

New Cambodia government omnibus page

Hi, it's very great that you are an administrator, I'll promise to both come here first if I need admin help and to also solve the problem myself in the first place instead. Congratulations. At any rate, this new page Federal institutions of Cambodia is modeled on Federal institutions of Brazil, it would be good if you could at least watch this article, I like the way the Brazil page has grown and this Cambodia page should do the same as time goes on. The page needs plenty of expansion. --Mr Accountable (talk) 21:32, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Louis and Jordy

The Louis Barnett article is still missing some details, and I want to make sure I can't track them down before I give up on them. By the way, don't be too hard on yourself. It would have been impossible to nominate it for DYK before I did, because I only moved it into mainspace literally minutes before I posted the nomination. You'd have to be around at just the right time to intercept.

Where I find them? All over the place. I watch news reports, read the newspaper and I hang around the net. Once you dig up a name and search it on YouTube you can easily find similar artists. Of course it helps to stay in touch with your inner child. :) - Mgm|^(talk) 20:43, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

TienPhongBank redux

Hi, after transforming TPB into a good solid stub, the original redlink User:TienPhongBank returned to add all the spam again; I am not going to struggle with this user to maintain this notable topic's article; if there is something that can be done to save the article from speedy deletion in the near future, I don't know what it is. My philosophy is that in the future the article will be there anyway, in present format or recreated format, and there will be many more people working on the SEAsia area of the Wikipedia to take care of it. If one has an idea to talk to this user and protect the article, that would be good, but I certainly wouldn't think one would have the time to do so. Cheers. --Mr Accountable (talk) 03:55, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, thanks, that was important; I've moved the article to Tien Phong Bank. If one is somewhat interested in a minor distraction Kenya Fluorspar Company is going through a deletion process, and somewhat ably defended by me, hopefully. The company mines fluorites and its website states that it operates the largest metallurgy facility in Kenya. It's a really nice company with a recent article in Reuters; not listed at the Nairobi exchange. --Mr Accountable (talk) 17:16, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Categories Governments of Vietnam, Cambodia

I added a top sentence w/explanation at Category:Government of Vietnam + Category talk:Government of Vietnam, I am thinking I should probably just go ahead and add the same to those pages of Cambodia, (now empty). --Mr Accountable (talk) 15:34, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

+ Was just looking at User:Paxse/Sandbox5, --- 1| the categories need to be filled, 2| workarounds like a category for the very hopefully soon to arrive Khmer Securities Exchange are very useful "going forward", 3| some of the major category systems that the awkwardly constructed small SEAsian categories are part of, are so useful in the case of UK, South Africa, etc. I personally would rather see a 120-item Category:Companies of Cambodia, but we are not the only portal that has a say, "Welcome to Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia that any powerful portal manager can edit." The utility of the big cross-categories in the context of very very large Categories:Companies of w/numerous subcategories by industry each w/more than a dozen articles is pretty good anyway, almost worth putting up with. (See Category:Companies of South Africa by industry). Khmer companies put up websites and are articled soon after, every month or so I have the opportunity to look through such Google results, Phnom Penh Autonomous Port is one article to do. If some workaholic editors weren't so busy on the infrastructure-level-importance districts and communes articles I am sure it would be done already. Importance=high articles like Children's rights in Cambodia, Publishing industry in Cambodia and History of the shipping industry of Cambodia seem to follow after more infrastructurally-basic articles are in place anyway. --- Waxing philosophical, waning attention span. Cheers. --Mr Accountable (talk) 15:51, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

++If one follows WP:DELT this might be of interest, written in regard to the many bilateral relations articles routinely up for deletion: (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chile–Israel relations) In response, I don't feel I have to now go scurrying through CIA pdfs, UN trade agreements, NGO publications and economics papers looking for data about Chile and Israel just because someone asks about it and their opinion matters in a deletion discussion. Assuming good faith, one expects that the material in question is there and will be supplied to the article as time permits; it takes time to edit the Wiki, it's not done on demand, Rome wasn't built in a day. That goes for all the other bilateral articles up for deletion now. The bilateral relations deletion drive started with the oddball-sounding articles; Mongolia-Aden, Albania-Bolivia, etc, and are now infringing on patently valid articles. I'd keep them all, I guess. --Mr Accountable (talk) 17:18, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Nice note, I don't let myself look at Deletion more than once a day, a good topic is a good topic and will be there after this few-years-old very great undertaking spends a lot of time growing up and improving itself, the Wikipedia Post is full of issues. Sometimes it makes sense to say something if it is useful and easy enough (at DELT), otherwise there is always so much basic work to do, viz geography, government, technical work. --Mr Accountable (talk) 21:21, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

DYK prose length

DYK Orphan?

Thank you very much, Paxse, for nominating Abbott Hall Brisbane for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. I'm honored. It's probably the most complete original article I've submitted; I was delighted to find an illustration for it. I am confused by the "orphan" template. The article is brand-new, so of course nothing links to it. Should I have addressed this by adding a "See also" section? Going the other way, the article itself links to many others, but you're looking for links going the other way, correct? —LisaSmall ^T/C 01:03, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Haha! Well, actually I've had that redirect for like, ever. I removed the contenty bit on the top of my page because I'm revamping it and I had to delete a major part of it meaning it will not display properly. It should be back later today, don't panic :P GARDEN 08:51, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

DYK

First of all, congrats on the new bit!

In relation to your questions, my answer to both would be yes - I think it's fine to promote hooks you yourself have reviewed, and it's always a good idea to take hooks from the expiring noms section if possible.

Some people do think it's best practice not to promote hooks you have reviewed, but in my opinion the first priority is always to get a well balanced update, so I think you should always take the most appropriate hooks for your update, whether you reviewed them or someone else. In fact when I am preparing updates I frequently review and promote hooks on the fly because I can't find a suitable mix in the available reviewed hooks. Hope that helps.

Re: Howdy

If you do have a good hook, you could always place it back on for that day for a final look. I misread his statement as it not really being a dyk-worthy article because of the murder hook, rather than him just asking for another one. Granted, I keep seeing people asking for alts and then never following up on their end rather then yours until the hook is now 12 days old. I've gotten admittedly a little more drastic in removing hooks recently, but i've never seen the backlog this bad and it feels like most aren't making the tough choices. Wizardman 18:41, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

DYK query

Excuse the intrusion, but I wonder if you could explain where you found the citation support for the Archidermapteron martynovi hook fact. I've looked at all the online citations offered, and I cannot find support for:

The assertion that there was ever only one fossil of this species ever found (I can only determine that only one find is listed in an online database, but there is no indication of how many fossils were included in this find nor of whether the database is complete).
As for the assertion that this particular species can be used to determine the relative age of different earwig species, the source cited makes this assertion for the entire suborder Archidermaptera. The source does not make specific statements for either the genus Archidermapteron or for the species Archidermapteron martynovi.

Did you see a different version of some of these online sources than I can see? --Orlady (talk) 01:12, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your thoughtful reply (and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance -- I think this may be our first direct interaction). One of the principles that I have absorbed regarding sourcing at Wikipedia is that a lack of evidence cannot be used to prove a negative. As a result, for example, an institution cannot be identified as "unaccredited" at List of unaccredited institutions of higher learning just because it does not appear in any of the reliable databases that identify the universe of "accredited" institutions; instead we need a published statement that the institution is unaccredited. That's a difficult standard to meet, but it's Wikipedia's standard.

Extrapolating to the earwig situation, it seems to me that a Wikipedia statement that "this is the only species in the genus" or "only one fossil has been found" cannot be based on "it's the only one in the database, so it must be the only one" (that type of reasoning is in fact has been considered original synthesis, a form of original research, although I'm not convinced that it's original research); it must be based on an affirmative statement to that effect in a published source. I agree with you that the Archidermapteron article is a worthwhile contribution, but I don't like the idea of featuring a "fact" on the main page if that fact is not sourced according to Wikipedia's high standards. --Orlady (talk) 14:15, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I have struggled to find anything nontrivial about A. martynovi that I am sure is true. Your suggestion "that scientists have used a single complete fossil of Archidermapteron martynovi to determine the relative age of other species of earwig" does not work because I have not seen any documentation that there is one complete fossil or that this particular fossil was used to determine relative ages of other species. (However, when I view the cited online source http://www.webcitation.org/5fzjKTffV I do not see as much content as I see when I view the original page, and I wonder if some of the other online sources are displaying less information to me than they are to some other users.) I might consider highlighting the fact that this is an extinct earwig known from a fossil find in Russia, except that the sources indicate that the site is now in Kazakhstan. Maybe it could be said "...that Archidermapteron martynovi is an extinct species of earwig named for its discoverer, Andrey Vasilyevich Martynov, who found many fossil insects in the Soviet Union?" That's supported by sources cited in the article and the article by Martynov. --Orlady (talk) 20:34, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Update: I edited the hook in Template:Did you know/Queue/6‎ in accordance with the above. --Orlady (talk) 23:35, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

One compliment, a thank you and a question...

Howdy Stifle, first a (very) belated April 1 compliment. Your sig got me a good one, "Damn who is this tleSif?", "Hang on that sig looks familiar...". Secondly a (very) belated thank you for your !vote of confidence in my RfA, you're one of the mop wielders I have considerable respect for and your nod of assent made my day. Finally my image question. I updated a commons image here with a slightly better version. When I linked it across in this article, it refused to update. After scratching my head, I realised it was because we still have this version stored locally. I went to slap a "nowcommons" on it, then remembered - Damn I'm an admin, I can kill it myself! Then I had a crisis of confidence, "What if I kill it and find that it's out of process?" "Hell, what if Stifle finds outs and comes after me, guns blazing?" "Oh shit!" So to prevent all that needless bloodshed, can you tell me if I should delete the local copy? (I've checked the files and where they're used etc) And is there anything else I need to do when I kill it? Cheers, Paxse (talk) 05:59, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Strictly speaking since the images aren't exactly identical we shouldn't be deleting it without an FFD. However, I seriously doubt that anyone will mind in this case, and I've deleted it.

On a side point, you don't need to put in external links for those images. [[:File:RinzaiGigen.jpg]] and [[commons:File:RinzaiGigen.jpg]] will work, and look like this: File:RinzaiGigen.jpg and commons:File:RinzaiGigen.jpg.

Happy adminning! Stifle (talk) 08:07, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome, and

... the article is brilliant. But we need to conjure up more related articles for upcoming Vesak. Got some ideas? --BorgQueen (talk) 08:38, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Albert Bitran

Dear Paxse, Being a new contributor, I want to consult you about your comment and tagging of the article about Albert Bitran. I am the original contributor of this article.

After an earlier comment I introduced a number of relevant links. I think links should be informations that are necessary for understanding the subject. For example if the artist has studied in a college called St.Michel, I don't think that knowing who is Saint Michael is necessary for understanding the article. At this time there are 11 internal links (actually some of them are not relevant according to my definition, but put them anyway to comply with Wiki policy).

So my question is what should I do more to satisfy your comment. I would appreciate your assistence, although I am not sure that this message will reach you and I don't know where to find your answer.

Many thanks.

Oh right, sorry, I just noticed you replied! 14X5? :-S I hope you have plenty of caffeine ready... it's under April 25. --can dle •wicke 15:08, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, I think you're about the second person with something positive to say about it. :) Many others think it is much too much. The answer is boredom + repeated red links + knowledge that each was notable enough to become an article. As for time, I honestly don't know... I could have gone on and on really (and I don't mean to sound arrogant like that). I presumed people just worked at that rate all the time but maybe didn't nominate them in one go... do you think it is an unusually high amount? The only thing stopping me on the previous fourteen was that I thought of expanding it too late... I guess the novelty of having one DYK at a time wears off after a while. :) --can dle •wicke 15:34, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Ah yes, I suppose that's true... well the alts are the same really, just split in three. So I guess I don't mind either way. I will still probably only get round to updating the submissions when they've all been posted so it'll still probably be one big jump. So I guess nothing is amiss really. I'm thinking now that I ought to develop some sort of control and limit myself to a smaller amount like sixteen or seventeen rather than twenty-five next time (if I were to do it again). Twenty-five is a lot for people to grasp in one go. I notice you do a lot of orphan tagging. I just wonder if that counts as content? I mean I'm not being picky, I probably move at such a whirlwind rate that I forget what I'm editing but you seem to have lists of edit summaries marked as "orphan tagging"? --can dle •wicke 16:12, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, I guess you'll have to be the one to put me in there in case I bump into a conflict of interest. ;) Thanks for reviewing it... goodnight. --can dle •wicke 17:34, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Buddhist Institute

I might not have time, yet I'll probably take a look at it. Do you know, where is a Khmer translation tool? Anyway, this topic I'm guessing is like an iceberg -- much more (good content) to it than is apparent. --Mr Accountable (talk) 19:50, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Looks like BorgQueen got it. Shubinator (talk) 19:02, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! :) I hope your mouse is better! ;) The dead reference? I'm curious about that one as it may be from one of the many sources I use on a regular basis... where is it located? --can dle •wicke 14:53, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
