Tasks on WP:USG.

I updated them. The task under "other" is not showing up. (You have to edit to read it). Perhaps you could fix it? I would do it myself, but I'm tired. Extremely tired. Leonard^(Bloom) 06:19, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

thankspam

Thanks to everyone who participated in my RfA, regardless of their !vote. I have withdrawn the nomination as a failure at 19 supports, 45 opposes, and 9 neutral statements. As has been written and sung, you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need — and what I need is to go back to working on our shared project. Not everyone has to be an admin; there is a role for each of us. After reflection, I feel I don't have the temperament to secure community consensus as an admin at any point, and I will not be applying again in the future — and hey, that's all right, 'cause I stay true to the philosophy that adminship is no big deal: I tried, I failed, and now I'll return to doing what I've always done. I have an extremely strong belief in the consensus process, and the consensus was clear. I will be devoting my energies to volunteering at MedCab and working up a complete series of articles on the short stories of Ernest Hemingway, among lord knows what else. Thanks again to everyone who spared the time to weigh in on this one. It was made in better faith than it probably seemed. Mr. IP 《Defender of Open Editing》 14:25, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

That was a vote I've never seen before :D Sorry my nom rubbed you the wrong way; I meant it to be more serious than it probably came off. But in the end, we can't all be admins, and maybe some of us are better off contributing in other ways. Appreciate your weighing in, and will be seeing you around WP. Mr. IP 《Defender of Open Editing》 14:25, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks!

Thank you... ...for participating in my RfA, which closed with 119 in support, 4 neutral and 5 opposes. I'm honestly overwhelmed at the level of support that I've received from the community, and will do my best to maintain the trust placed in me. I 'm also thankful to those who opposed or expressed a neutral position, for providing clear rationales and superb feedback for me to build on. I've set up a space for you to provide any further feedback or thoughts, should you feel inclined to. However you voted, thanks for taking the time out to contribute to the process, it's much appreciated. Kind regards, Gazimoff 21:32, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

RfA

Noticed your opposition, and just wanted to be clear: the WP:AIV vs WP:ANI thing was a typo. I would never seek to put someone through that just because I had a problem with him/her, but only if I felt it couldn't be resolved. I certainly wouldn't seek such a venue just to relieve stress. I think there may have been a bit of a misunderstanding there. — BQZip01 — ^talk 16:59, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Adoption

Hello. I'm not sure exactly how to put this, but how far would you say I am from graduating from the adoption program? My plan is get an experienced adoption. Almost Admin Coaching, but not because the wait is so long. If you would like to put me through some sort of trial, to make sure that I am ready, feel free to do so. I feel I'm ready to graduate from the adoption program. I'll send this to RC also. Cheers.--LAAFan 15:30, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I know you've improved since I first adopted you, but whether you think you're ready to graduate is up to you. It would be helpful to know what you mean by 'trial'. You mean like a quiz? I'd be willing to start editor coaching you, but it sounds like you're looking for an admin to do that. Let me know what you decide. Cheers, « Diligent Terrier [talk] 12:53, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

I believe I am ready to graduate. The trial part, is up to you, is if you want to give me a final quiz before you're sure about having me graduate. As for the coaching part, I am going to be looking for an administrator to do that. Cheers.--LAAFan 15:46, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

So, to say it in one sentence, unless you would like to give me a final quiz, would it be possible for me to graduate?--LAAFan 18:57, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Actually, no, a final quiz is not mandatory to graduate, and to be honest, I don't have one, but I could probably get one from someone else. « Diligent Terrier [talk] 19:14, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

So, can I graduate?--LAAFan 19:20, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Some reasons why people customize their signatures include: easier navigation to talk pages, etc., different formatting so it stands out, colors to keep with the theme of their username or userpage. Would you like a custom signature? « Diligent Terrier [talk] 19:12, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

I was thinking about it. I don't really want something that "stands out", but I would like something different, yes. Northern Romania (talk) 23:17, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

You've been asking me to comment on the RFC so many times now that it's gotten old. Just because I didn't comment doesn't mean I didn't read your message. I didn't see how your constant hounding deserves a reply. « Diligent Terrier [talk] 14:36, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Floro, Rfc

Hi, I noticed and read this dire comment of administrator User:Rkitko, which, according to the Rfc - there should be - Users who endorse this summary: Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Florentino floro[4]: "I would suggest a block the next time a conflict of interest edit is uncovered, such as the pattern of edits seen in Miriam Defensor Santiago, and possible blocks for successive news items that violate WP:NOT#NEWS. Floro should be able to recognize which items are notable by now. Adding non-notable and irrelevant information to the encyclopedia reduces the quality of what we have achieved so far (admittedly, a struggle, but to do destroy the integrity of what has be achieved willingly is not acceptable).

I hope Floro takes the above advice into consideration and alters his behavior. I have pointed to relevant policies and guidelines. I would also ask that he use common sense in his approach to editing. Before each edit, ask, "Is this a significant piece of information that will improve the article or will it just clutter it up?" If the answer is "no, it's not significant" or "maybe, but not sure", then allow time to pass before proposing it be added to the article. Ask the opinion of others before editing to get a better feel for what is and is not considered good editing. Cheers, Rkitko (talk) 00:27, 20 August 2008 (UTC)"

I take a respectful exception to the above-statement that Ianlopez, Filipino editor (administrator hopeful yet) "He's suffered an ineffective first adopter, User:Ianlopez1115, and a relatively absent second adopter, User:Diligent Terrier." Reason: This is contrary to the confidential email of Ian Lopez to me. The reason why Ian Lopez ceased and desisted from aiding me against Cma and Max, is, confidential, but in sum, Ian wanted not to be more damaged in his administrator quest (From the time that Ian emailed me and asked me to make a graceful exit to Wikipedia). I bluntly emailed Ian: I want to share my wisdom until I am blocked, if I need be blocked. But there are only 2 Filipinos editors who accused me and filed indictment charges against me amid my petitions to block these 2 Cma and Max, which failed. So, I believe in destiny. If any administrator finds any ground to block me, then, the button is there, and I must accept my fate. Ian advised me in the email to immensely pray to our Catholic God [[Psalm 109] and I faithfully did pray this Psalm midnights and daily. These 2 Filipino editors failed to appreciate all my very good contributions in Wikipedia vis-a-vis their upheld accusations above-cited. Hence, if you have time, please file your comment in the Rfc, wise or otherwise. And I am still proud of you no matter what. You are the most diligent parent I could ever have had. I find you objective, and if administrators would vote to block me, so be it. I await my fate, if ever, and under you kind adoption.

I must add, that, you had not failed me. Never and never. You had been in Wikibreak, retirement, semi-retirement, and so on. I personally understand your life's predicament Evans. There are times that you cannot be a mere Robot in Wikipedia amid so many thankful adoptees you reared. But I and all must respect your privacy and difficult moments. All of us in time need Wikibreaks. I too, had been doing a court pleading these days amid the Rfc, turning to a suggestion for dire blocking on 2 conditions. Regards and cheers.--Florentino floro (talk) 08:08, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi DT, just wanted to let you know that I changed your status on the list of adopters [7] at WP:ADOPT to "Not adopting now". If you disagree you can let me know, but I don't think you should take on any new adoptees at this time. maxsch (talk) 21:49, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

That was completely unnecessary, and you were disrupting Wikipedia (and my time) to illustrate your point. Even worse, you lied in the edit summary, saying that I said I was no longer accepting any adoptees. This is very disappointing. « Diligent Terrier [talk] 19:13, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Dear Terrier

[8] This concerns Wikipedia:Editing policy I explained to Max- I now cite to you this pertinent rule:[9] "Major changes - With large proposed deletions or replacements, it may be best to suggest changes in a discussion, lest the original author be discouraged from posting again. One person's improvement is another's desecration, and nobody likes to see their work destroyed without prior notice. If you make deletions, you should try to explain why you delete their contributions in the article talk page. This could reduce the possibility of reverting wars and unnecessary arguments.

If, in your considered judgment, a page simply needs to be rewritten or changed substantially, go ahead and do that. But preserve any old contents you think might have some discussion value on the talk page, along with a comment about why you made the change. Even if you delete something that's just plain false, odds are that it got there because someone believed it was true, so preserve a comment to inform later editors that it is in fact false."

Application to the case at bar: I have to re-add your incorrectly deleted contents. In additions, I will notify administrator User:Lenticel who lives there/or near thereat, for comment on this. If Lenticel would delete my re-add, then, it would be for the good of Wikipedia, and I will respect the admin's opinion on this. Now, the mere fact that Mt. Kanlaon was stated to be higher than Mt. Malinis, and contrary to the official link I added as reference, does not matter. It is not for us users to settle this issue. At issue here is bio-diversity plus tourist notability. Your deleting of my edits, then, resulted in great and irreparable damage to Wikipedia, on Valencia and Negros Oriental, especially, that our Philippine Tourism Authority is struggling to earn dollars by scouting for foreigners to visit bio-diverse Mts., inter alia. Now, Born to be Wild (TV series) is a top TV encyclopedic series of our country, not news, for tourism promotion. If you remove the same, it will be detrimental to tourists and readers of Wiki who might be tempted to come to Mt. Talinis.--Florentino floro (talk) 07:47, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Another thing, Vandalism Talk:Valencia, Negros Oriental I discovered this patent incorrect edit tending to vandalism of my contribution" Max changed [10] my 1865 to 1870, this is not assume good faith, since, this is patent error. This is utterly detrimental to Wikipedia, since, if researchers and students would submit this above sea lever meters to Congress, etc. citing Wikipedia, this encyclopedia might be sued for unreliability, just bacause of Max. or answer their test questions, respectively. It is sad day for Wikipedia, when I diligently do Wiki, and my good edits on Mt. Talinis would be deleted and worst supplied with wrong area. This is serious. Cheers.--Florentino floro (talk) 07:47, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

non-responsiveness

So, here's the thing. I honestly wonder what you feel your responsibility as an adopter is? You have helped floro with his user page. Bravo. Although, frankly, that page[11] now comes close to violating WP:NOTBLOG, so maybe you haven't helped there as much as you could. But there are clearly major issues with his understanding of wikipedia policy. Why do you refuse to engage with him on those issues? Your silence is enabling his behavior, and therefore you are part of the problem. Furthermore, I am frustrated with you for asking me do a lot of work and then ignoring it. I hope you can understand my position. I came to you, in good faith, when you became floro's adopter, to make you aware of ongoing issues with his editing [12]. This was in early May. You said, and I quote, "I'm reviewing all of these to get the whole story, and I will comment as soon as possible. - DiligentTerrier (and friends) 17:35, 9 May 2008 (UTC)" Then, instead of commenting, you said, put it all in this subpage [13]. (Which basically had the effect of hiding it.) So I did, and a big discussion ensued, and you said, and again, I quote "As for the conclusion, I'll write one up one of these days followed by a proposal/agreement that both sides will have to agree to for anything further to happen. If you're anxious for something to get done, I would suggest a user conduct RFC. It would probably get further than a ANI thread. - DiligentTerrier (and friends) 16:43, 1 July 2008 (UTC)" Note the dates. So, two weeks later, anxious, I started that RFC here[14], per your suggestion, and now, more than a month later, you haven't commented on the RFC and you haven't written up a "proposal/agreement" or any sort of conclusion at User:Diligent Terrier/Florentino floro and Maxschmelling. I wouldn't be angry with you if you hadn't made promises to me that you haven't kept (see [15], [16], [17], [18]). It also seems to me that you've been ignoring floro's recent requests to look at articles he created. Isn't part of being an adopter responding to your adoptees requests, and helping them to understand wikipedia policy? You say I am "hounding" you to respond to the RFC and your mediation page. I write once a week or so, and I intend good faith. I think you are intentionally ignoring those pages, and I don't know why. So I see fit to remind you that you have neglected them. I do think it is your responsibility to say something in both of those places (if you disagree, I am open to hearing that argument). I have said in the past, and I will say it again now, if you don't want to be involved, say "I don't want to be involved" and step down as Floro's adopter. Then I will leave you alone. Otherwise, we're waiting on you. No one wants to make decisions about an adopted user without the adopter's input. maxsch (talk) 18:22, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

To sum up my thoughts shortly, adoption is about helping out the adoptee, not shielding them from attacks by people like you. As an adopter, I feel that I have gone above and beyond what my job is. Most adopters would not have taken the time to review lots of his edits as I did, and start a mediation page, where I am the mediator. You linked to several places where you claimed I hadn't fulfilled my "promises". Well, I believe I have fulfilled every one of the things I planned to do, but you from the very beginning seemed to think I was going to step in here and change Mr. Floro's habits (which have been going on for a very long time) in a matter of days. You've been in this dispute for so long that you've gotten more and more heated as we've gone along, that at this point I would suggest that you just step out. There are enough people already helping Florentino floro that are in on the dispute, such as myself, that he will be taken care of. Let me know if you have any additional specific questions. Thank you. « Diligent Terrier [talk] 19:05, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

My very specific question is this: Do you intend to comment at Floro's RFC? maxsch (talk) 19:52, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

We'll see about that, but there's no reason for you to be concerned about that. Wikipedia is a volunteer project, and you can't force me to do anything. The edit you made regarding my adoptions was completely unnecessary, and you were disrupting Wikipedia (and my time) to illustrate your point. Even worse, you lied in the edit summary, saying that I said I was no longer accepting any adoptees. This is very disappointing. « Diligent Terrier [talk] 19:59, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

If it was not true, I apologize. I thought you had maybe forgotten that page existed. You have responded to at least one recent request for adoption by saying you are busy and that maybe the prospective adoptee should find someone else. In addition it was clear that you don't look there often, because your entry linked to a long-deleted page. And, yes, I am concerned that you have too many adoptees. Others besides me have expressed the same reservation. I thought if you weren't advertising it would help. And please don't dismiss my concern as "heated." I have behaved in a remarkably level-headed way in all of my encounters with you, and you have been largely evasive. Being evasive tends to rankle people who are trying to communicate. Perhaps you've noticed that. I understand that Wikipedia is a volunteer project. I understand I cannot force anyone to do anything. But I am concerned that you are sending mixed messages (to at least Floro and me) and I want to clarify a little. You must have thought about commenting at the User RFC (it's been up for plenty of time :) ). Why do you remain so reticent even about whether or not you will? And, do you intend to write up some conclusion to your mediation? That was only a good idea if you follow through with it. The issues have not disappeared and they will not, even if I walk away. maxsch (talk) 20:23, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Max, there are these things called real life and time that get in my way. You still don't address the fact that your edit to the adopter's page was not appropriate and that I have gone above and beyond what I'm supposed to do as an adopter. I have definitely not been "largely evasive" and I don't know why you think that. Florentino floro will take time to improve and you have to allow for that. I just don't have any more time for this drama where you say I'm not a competent adopter just because I don't comment at every single debate Florentino floro is involved with and take your side. « Diligent Terrier [talk] 19:15, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Look, I don't want to beat this to death. And I don't understand why it is so difficult for us to simply communicate. I can see that you feel you've done a lot for floro (though I have to disagree with your characterization of "other adopters" as somehow less engaged than you). I think I've done a lot for him too. We're both underappreciated. And there's still more to be done. That's sort of a given on wikipedia. Can you try to see my side of it for a moment? This is what I mean by evasive: You suggested that I create a User RFC for floro (I thought that meant you thought it was a good idea and would support it by making helpful comments). I created one (In doing so, the mediation page you hosted was basically abandoned with no conclusion--I put a lot of work in there too, and I think it would still benefit from a conclusion). No consensus has been reached on the RFC (largely for lack of comments), and after it had been up for a month I asked simply and directly if you were going to comment on it. You said, "we'll see, there's no reason for you to be concerned about that." That is both dismissive and evasive. I am concerned that it is going to have been a big waste of my time, not because people don't agree with me, but because it's complicated to look through the history and people can't be bothered to get involved. And when will we see? Within the next few days, floro is going to say it's been up for a month and no consensus has been reached and he is going to ignore all the comments that actually have been made. I'm sorry that you think floro needs to be "protected" from me. To me it sometimes feels the other way around. maxsch (talk) 21:14, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

On the other subject, my edit to the adopters page, in my comment directly above, I tried to explain my reasoning for why I made the edit at the adopters page. For the record, if I had made it two months ago, while you were "retired," it wouldn't have been inappropriate, and even if it was inappropriate this time, it was in good faith. It was the wrong edit for me to make, I'm sorry it offended you, and it's been reverted. But my reasoning remains valid, do you not think 22 adoptees is enough? maxsch (talk) 21:14, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I never said Floro needs to be protected from you, because on Wikipedia, all users are open to criticism. It's a sad thing that you are resorting to complete lies to get your point across and diminishing my efforts as an adopter. My conclusion with this entire debate right here is that it's just a time consuming road to nowhere and that you don't understand what adoption is — it's not mediation and "review tons of edits your adoptee made and comment on all of them, and tell us whether you would have made them or not". However, you dismiss my explanation of not commenting as 1) incompetent adopter 2) dismissive and evasive, among other things, and instead of sticking to the point you go off on other things like chasing me on something as simple as my photos page, something many other Wikipedians and administrators have and you essentially remove my listing from the adopters page with a complete lie - ("Diligent Terrier is not accepting any more adoptees" you said) I simply will not be taking the bait here, and refuse to take any more of my time and energy with your nonsense. As for my 22 adoptees, without even looking through their late contributions, I estimate that the majority are not very active, so I don't see your point. I have always fulfilled my responsibility as an adopter, and I refuse to drop them. Cheers, « Diligent Terrier [talk] 21:04, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Totally unrelated

The above header was changed to a sub-header to improve readability.

Hi DT, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but since I've been on your talkpage lately, I noticed your User:Diligent Terrier/Gallery subpage. I'm worried it violates WP:NOTWEBHOST. Are you using it to store your own photos? Why not use Wikimedia Commons? It looks like a PROD candidate to me, but I thought I'd give you a chance to think about whether you should have it or not. Not a vendetta, just a policy issue. maxsch (talk) 21:17, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm a bit surprised that you've never seen a user gallery before. The photos displayed there are photos I have uploaded for use in articles, and that page is used to display all of them. If you look closely you'll see that many of them already are on Wikimedia Commons. If you think it violates WP:NOT#WEBHOST, I believe you need to get a better grasp of what that policy is about. TONS of people have these, including admins. But go ahead and WP:MfD it if you wish and it will be snowballed. Have a nice day. « Diligent Terrier [talk] 18:53, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm letting this go because it is probably just a distraction from things that are more important and it seemed to make you angry--honestly not my intention. But I really don't see the point of the page. If the images are on commons, you don't need them here, if they're not, then you're using wikipedia as a webhost. I'm not sure "tons" of people have them, and even if they do that's not a good argument. But it isn't a big deal. p.s. emailing me to tell me to leave you alone is uncalled for. Especially in the middle of a conversation. Wikipedia is a volunteer project that works by consensus, you can't just tell people to go away. If I'm violating policy, let me know. I listen to reason. maxsch (talk) 22:06, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

If you don't see the point of this page, then go ahead and nominate it at MfD. If your nom succeeds, then it's likely that you're right. But it would mean that everyone else is wrong in having their own photo pages. « Diligent Terrier [talk] 22:20, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Ignore, let us do our work in Wiki amid disruptive editing

My philosophy in Wikipedia, as I learned by browsing D. Terrier's tons of contributiosn via Evans-Terrier's Archives 1-8 is: Ignore disruptive editors like Max and Cma - who have no aim but to pester, then block good users who desire to improve and share wisdom in Wiki. Since my registration here in July 2007, only Cma and Max did pester and stalked upon me amid 2 adopters. This is a critical fact which cannot just be lightly set aside.

By way of rejoinder, I opted not to drop D. Terrier as my parent when I asked apology (when last time he posted the template retired, but later changed the template to semi-retired then, now alive, sharing us/Wikipedia, Diligent wisdom). In fact, Admin. John Carter sent me a message of willingness to adopt me, as I requested protection against Max and Cma vis-a-vis my diligent parent Ian Lopez's forced resignation message duly emailed to me with confidential but painful admission of Cma and Max's brazen attempt to block my account via distorting Wikipedia policies.

I opted to retain D. Terrier, even if I have a choice to choose other powerful Wiki admin-adopters in the long list, since I was so much SHOCKED, I use the word shock, when I accidentally browsed Evans-Archives 1-7, which is totally nightmare editing for Wikipedia. D. Terrier is hidden administrator now, was administrator with BUTTONS to block. LET it be remembered, that I never posted the template of adoption to Evans-Terrier or anybody, but destiny dictated Terrier to succeed IanLopez in rearing me.

IN SUM, D. Terrier is so fair, impartial and tender-loving parent. Terrier called me "poor editor" and I never complained. I am the smallest dwarf compared to Terrier's Immortal contributions to Wikipedia, Terrier will never be forgotten. And I am proud to be under Terrier. If I am blocked here, I will always ask Terrier's help, no matter what. Terrier never sided with me. Terrier completely IGNORED most of my messages, since Terrier acts and acted with the cold neutrality of an impartial judge. I am also proud of my parent Ian Lopez a Laguna very wealthy businessman at age 16, high school, of the Arturo D. Brion line and close relationship. Ian never ever was lazy nor failed me. But he opted, as Filipino to stay away from all these. From now on, I will leave my Wikipedia Faith and fate, to D. Terrier, with all trust and confidence as an orphan child to a parent. Terrier was never ever criticized in any of his adoption cases. May Wikipedia be great with immortal contributors like my parent, and I tell yeah, no one can argue otherwise on this belief, upon my parent. If Max and Cma are dying to block me, so be it, the button is there, but I have full Faith in Terrier. Cheers, and good luck. --Florentino floro (talk) 07:43, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I never recall calling you a "poor editor" - if I did would you mind point to the diff? If I did (which I'm pretty sure I didn't) I apologize in advance. « Diligent Terrier [talk] 21:08, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

It may be magic, or illusion, but I have loved you, as I did love my deceased parents, no matter what. Imagine your Archives 1-8, shocking contributions - I would call immortality. Now, on Information Technology, I consider myself poor editor, since, I really need to learn many things on IT, such as how to archive, how to revert with twinkle, etc. But I do not want to revert, I only care for my edits, and 98%, I do not watch them, having full trust on editors to do edits of my edits, edited by others. BTW, I saw the TV-here of Evan Almighty and it is heart warming: YOU. Hope we meet someday, not bilocation, of course. We need humor. Good luck, I bestow upon, thee.--Florentino floro (talk) 12:49, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, request for examination of fact and error

May I please ask your time on this serious matter. I received a message thusly: "Floro, your behavior is becoming increasingly erratic and troubling. You blame others for mistakes that you yourself made, and refuse to apologize when confronted by it. This is not acceptable. TheCoffee (talk) 12:26, 23 August 2008 (UTC)"

Forthwith I replied that contrary to facts supported by links and history tab, it was Max and not I who made the error on 1864 to 1870 change of above sea level figure, which matter is minor, yet, I asked clarification from Max. I fully explained to administrator TheCoffee via my message of "Reply, Request for Clarification on Fact of editing and Review of Comparative edits to determine the error."[19] and [20]. With utter good faith, assume good faith, I had tried to pacify Max and Cma but it reached to this, and I am blamed here, towards my blocking. I sincerely believe, that TRUTH will prevail, since all my life, I, The Coffee and Gma or[21]Dominique Gerald Cimafranca are all alumni/students of Ateneo de Manila and we cherish our ideals of justice, fair play and Faith. It is a sad day for Wikipedia, if I would be continually perturbed amid the fact that I tried my best with the help of my parent D. Terrier to avoid all these. I believe in Wikipedia's philosophy of wisdom and ethics. Cheers.--Florentino floro (talk) 13:55, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, could you please clarify what your request for me to do is? Thanks, « Diligent Terrier [talk] 21:11, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure it's my place, but the issue here surrounds edits on three pages about Mount Talinis. The pages at issue are Negros Oriental, Valencia, Negros Oriental and Dumaguete City. I removed floro's edits (the same edit) from all three pages, with explanations. On the Valencia, Negros Oriental page and my talkpage, floro accused me of putting in the wrong elevation for the mountain, when, in fact the elevation that he claimed was wrong had been put in the article a month earlier, by him. It's actually rather funny, except for the fact that he berated me for something I didn't do on 4 or 5 other editors' talkpages. I'm not sure what he wants you to do either, but I hope this points you in the right direction. Cheers. maxsch (talk) 00:53, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Changes at mediation page

Hi DT, you might notice that I made some changes at the mediation page User:Diligent Terrier/Florentino floro and Maxschmelling. They should be uncontroversial, I only changed headings where comments of mine were reproduced by in the page by floro and not actually posted there by me. I was trying to clean it up a little, because I feel like it starts to get a little unreadable and the issues muddled in the second half. maxsch (talk) 05:03, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Roman Catholic Church

Dear Diligent Terrier, I have requested a peer review for this page and you are listed as a volunteer. Could you please come take a look at this page that has been improved since the last FAC attempt? It has been modeled after the FA Islam in both form and content. Sensitive areas have been addressed in more detail with more references and quotes than other areas in response to the past review and FAC processes. We would like to submit the article to FAC but need some fresh eyes to give us some honest feedback(hopefully in a kind way!). You seem like an interesting and experienced Wikipedian from your user page. Thanks in advance for your time and attention. NancyHeise ^talk 21:11, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Peer Review Request Lakeside Apartments District, Oakland, California

I'm humbly asking for your considered opinion with my peer review request for the Lakeside Apartments District, Oakland, California page. I've listed this article for peer review because, at present the City of Oakland's Planning Commission and City Council is revising zoning and height regulations for new land development (i.e. skyscrapers) in the neighborhood. Currently, much public attention is focused on this neighborhood in the Hearing Rooms at City Hall down the street, around in the conference tables of local investment banks, and kitchen tables of local activists. Having spent many hours editing it, I'd hope this article reflects a modicum of accuracy and good encyclopedic writing.Critical Chris (talk) 20:17, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks and my hats off to your Terrier

Hi, again, I know you are busy, and please have time for vacation, and thereafter, see this. I wanna refer this to you[33]. Thanks, parent.--Florentino floro (talk) 11:55, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

 Done and commented. « Diligent Terrier [talk] 20:30, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

RFC closing

Hi DT, when you say that you endorse wizardman's conclusion, I hope that includes his adomonition that, "Lastly, I urge User:Diligent Terrier and Florentino to work together more as adoptee and adopter." It sounds like what I've been asking for all along. maxsch (talk) 16:32, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

The conclusion never contained any reprimand nor admonition

User:Florentino floro/Learned Treatise:Legal-Academic Values of Compleat User Page

Hi, parent, thanks for your fight for truth. I created this Sub Page to prove that our works, can be treated as Learned treatises amid Wikipedia:Disclaimers. If you have time, please read it, since USA laws and Philippines Rules on Evidence, on this, would allow courts, lawyers and colleges in thesis, to accept our articles created on history, art and science, just these 3. Then, you can propose to amend Wikipedia rules on policies, such that all talk pages of articles created by experts, like me, just on the subject, would be recognized and not blocked by colleges, who are corrupt. I am just a dwarf compared to your Archived hard earned contributions here, but, it is different thing, if our articles created are not junked by these unkind universities who are part of the fraud cartels or syndicates, especially, publishing companies.

Let me also share this truth with you, since I had been part of your life, and not just of Wiki thing. It is unfair for others to conclude that my resigned parent so wealthy parent, User:Ianlopez1115, 16, had been negligent. That is not true. He emailed me, since he was perturbed like you, by these things. I do not want you to be draggged into this battle, but you were kind to me. Ian chat with me, and we never talked about Wikipedia. Never, never, never. Even in my emails, I just laughed at his fears that I would be muscled.

Ian resigned, since he was 3rd year high school in San Pablo City, Philippines; he is fighting for his Spelling Bee Wizzard thing. Now, in our long chat, he was asking a tip on how to pass the entrance exams of Ateneo de Manila University. I said, better enroll abroad, since Ateneo Quezon City, main, has quota of only 2,000 students for 2009 SY. It is not the passing but getting inside the quota. It was worst and terrible in 1971 to 1974, since, I, was the only Atenean who graduated since the Jesuits would kick out math flunkers, I got A. User:Cma, Mr. Dominique Gerald Cimafranca, now 36, in his friendster, stated he is enrolled at Ateneo de Davao. This school is just a branch of so many Ateneos, but it is NOT Ateneo. Cma's blog, is 14th in the Philippines (earns $ 6,000 a month, perhaps).

Ateneo is no nonsense. All of us Alumni and especially students, are bound by Manuals of Discipline called Students Handbook. If any of us Ateneans fail to live with the ideals of Ratio Studiorum, I am not saying any of us, here, there is a Jesuit remedy, not RFC, but DISOWNING, for alumni, and EXPULSION for students, or failure to graduate. Here is my proof:[34]Ateneo urged to disown agri chief alumnus over fund scams. I am not afraid to be disowned since I am jobless since July 20, 1999 until today, and I lived in LUX IN DOMINO, the light of the Lord = truth.

IN FINE, I repeatedly told you as my parent, share our wisdom here, and I am really so little compared to your Archived great contributions, greater adoptees, and SO MANY administrators that you yourself, helped to be. I wish that you would teach me more on IT. Best of luck and happiness in this world, and Peace, I bestow upon thee, and your family, and your Terrier, Evans, which no Barnstar can equal. --Florentino floro (talk) 11:28, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

It would help to know specifically what you would like to learn, and I'll tell you what I think. « Diligent Terrier [talk] 20:51, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Vigilance, nothing more

Against any brazen attempt to block me. I respectfully ask you only one thing, as parent - this, and it will never ever take so much time from your, since my philosophy is to IGNORE problem editors, JUST share wisdom in Wikipedia, and MOVE ON.[35] -

Tersely, I just dropped the note, since Wiki rules provide that adoption is temporary. But I do not want to graduate, since I need years to - at the very least - learn some of your deepest secrets in Wikipedia trials of life, lest I be blocked unceremoniously. "Of your 22 adoptees, I could not ask for more (from you) - you gave me the best Wiki wisdom"[36] and "What I learned from you that they will never take away from us". These 2 editors are talking to this editor and Wikipedia is turned to a blog.[37] It is really the aftermath of Rfc most painful TKO. How can I say thanks to you with more words. Regards. --Florentino floro (talk) 10:23, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Diligent Terrier, I am trying to create a program to get eighteen of America's largest cities up on the main page for a day. However, in order to facilitate such an achievement, I need a skyscraper-load of help. The first step in getting this project off of its feet is to review each article and find what's wrong with it. So, are you up for the job?

Status report on the Country outlines (Around the World) project

Penubag has been hard at work developing awards for this project. He has completed a very professional looking medal, and is almost done with a trophy that is truly awesome - both of these awards are visually stunning.

I and a few others have been working steadily on the country outlines - one for every country of the world! They're shaping up nicely. So far, 28 of them have been moved to article space - these aren't complete, but they are complete enough to be made available for readers to benefit from them. The rest of the set still includes temporary data that was generated by template (because it matched most but not all of the countries), and before the lists can be moved to article space, all the temporary data needs to be checked for accuracy, and if incorrect it needs to be replaced with correct information.

The effort on the lists has been on 3 fronts:

1. Working on the lists in article space to complete them so they will be good examples for editors working on the rest of the set.
2. Adding or correcting other data (fixing redlinks, filling in blanks, etc.). The main type of work participants in "the contest" will be doing. The reason we're doing this is to get a feel for it, to develop the fastest methods for each type of task, etc.
3. Improving the overall design and implenting changes on all 247 pages, whether in article space or not.

There has been some opposition to us running the contest based on edit counts or iterations. The concern is that we should reward quality work and not quantity, for fear of crappy edits done quickly without thought. I pointed out that the collection of pages are drafts in the Wikipedia namespace (therefore posing no danger to article space) and that most of the work needs to be done with power tools like AWB and Linky (which are specifically designed for repetitive work), but the reply was that we shouldn't set the precedent of rewarding barnstars for numerically-based tasks, and implied the threat of continuously MfD'ing the contest if we attempted to do so (like they did with the Awards Center - I was very surprised and disappointed that participants didn't step up to defend it). So we need to be careful in determining what exactly the awards will represent, and how they will be awarded.

Since rewarding iterations (passes with AWB on all of the pages in the set) are out, we really don't need the globe in stand anymore. Two awards should suffice.

Once we get started with the contest, I'd like to kick the whole thing off with a round of medals for those dedicated few who have worked hard on the project so far.

What do you think of all of this?

Your comments and suggestions are most welcome.

Volunteer for Virginia?

I'm the main editor of the article on Virginia. I've made a concerted effort over the last year to improve the article. However the prose is still considered choppy, confirmed both by two rejected Featured Article drives and the most recent peer review. The reviewer there recommended I seek out an editor listed on the Peer Review Volunteers page, particularly those for Geography articles, to give it a more thorough once over. If this is not something you think you'd be up for, that's certainly fine, or if there are other editor you think that might be interested in helping out, I'd love the suggestion.

I am sorry to write you in English but my Polish is a shame. Your concerns seem to be right... Nevertheless if you please take a second look over the following sources I am sure that you will change your mind. As I am not a good painter, I hope that somebody else may do and upload the drawing properly.

• Materna, h. Ślepowron (odmiana) in Ornatowski.com > Indeks nazwisk > Herbarz rodowy, A. Znamierowski

WikiCup

Hello, so far 6 days in, you have not made any mainspace edits, and have 0 points. There are currently many users on the waiting list. If you don't plan on being very active, it would be kind to let someone on the waiting list have your spot, who will be more active and get more work done. If you don't reply to this message (regardless of what your answer is), you will be removed from the cup to allow a more active editor to participate. Thanks, iMatthew // talk // 20:51, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Progress report: Country outlines

Development has been slow but continuous:

Penubag has done a fantastic job on the images for the awards we'll be using for our project's collaborations and contests. We now have 3 awards: a medal, a trophy, and a race ribbon. They all look tight. The trophy needs a small adjustment, but other than that, all 3 award images are complete and ready to use to create awards with.

Spartaz has warned us of (threatened to take) G4 (speedy delete) action if we run a competition that resembles the previously deleted Awards Center page. So whatever we do, any contests we run must differ substantially from the methods used there.

One type of competition I've been exploring is edit racing. I'm in the process of working the bugs out of this concept - the first race didn't work as expected - you see, because we only had an award for first place, the opponent didn't think it worthwhile to continue once it was clear who the winner would be. And since editors are in different time zones and usually need to start the race at different times, we need to base winning on personal start times - he who completes his assigned edits in the least time (rather than first), wins. And last but not least is quality control. What good is winning if your edits are ripe with errors? So I'll be exploring possibilities such as using a referee (whoever is overseeing a particular race), having participants watching each other for errors to knock them back, etc. I'm not sure yet.

Rich Farmbrough has been applying his bot expertise to filling in blanks in the country outlines (the population and area entries). I'm amazed at the number of edits he pumps out each day on a myriad of projects - ours makes up but a small time slice of his activity, and yet he has saved us many hours of manual work. Perhaps we should look into how he gets so much done.  :)

Zlerman has chosen to work on one outline at a time, and is taking on Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. He also has been keen on noticing and reporting design issues pertaining to the whole set of country outlines. Keep up the good work!

Highfields has been filling in the names of capitals, and is our first race winner. Check out the award on his user pages.

As you probably know, this project has expanded to include working on any and all sets of pages that are linked to from the country outlines. Once the set of country outlines go live (in article space), traffic will likely increase for all the links included on them. The quality and usefulness of those pages will reflect heavily on the country outlines (the outlines, which are essentially lists of links, are only as good as the links they present), and therefore we've branched out to solve the biggest problems with those as well. So far, we've taken on:

• The creation of disambiguation pages for country adjectivals ("German", "French", "Taiwanese", etc. About half done.)
• The clean-up of the CIA World Factbook statistics on the "demographics of" country pages. We've been renaming those sections to provide a key string that AWB can use for targetting (for skipping and filtering). Once that's done, we'll be able to break the clean-up down into simple AWB search/replace tasks, because we'll be able to target just those pages that include the CIA stuff.
• Renaming the "Cuisine of" articles to their adjectival forms ("Chinese cuisine", "Italian cuisine", etc.)

Blackadam2 and Thehelpfulone have been helping out with the "demographics of" pages mentioned above.

And we have a couple speed addicts (addicted to wiki-velocity, not drugs)...

Both Robert Skyhawk and Thehelpfulone prefer (and excel at) simple AWB search/replaces. Robert hasn't actually joined our team yet, but he has been helping out quite a bit from the sidelines (via the WP:AWB/Tasks page. Unfortunately, there has recently been a non-AWB chore that has been holding things up on the AWB front - an edit to all the the headings which had to be reverted before too many new edits were made, because any new edits would make the reversion more difficult. The headings have been restored, so now the way is clear for AWB operations, and there are many search/replace tasks in the queue. AWB assignments have started again!

There's a similar bottleneck on the "Demographics of" pages (the "keying" mentioned above), but that's almost cleared too.  :)

With my internet access somewhat crippled, I've been finding it difficult to keep up with you guys. However, I expect to be accessing a Linky-capable workstation on a faster server (I'm on it right now, as you can probably tell from my contributions list for today), and so I should really pick up speed. Feels goooooood.  :)

Recruiting has been a bit slow (but steady), due in part to my crippled access, and because we've been waiting for the images for the awards to be completed. I expect the team to grow more rapidly as the bottlenecks are removed.

Well that's what's been happenin', and here's what's in the pipeline...

I'm about to begin work on a set of lists that corresponds to all the standard links on the country outlines, and these will be presented on the Topic outline of countries which will be organized exactly like the country outlines. Aside from being an extremely useful navigation aid, it will allow editors to easily see the state of country coverage on Wikipedia. I'll provide you with a link once I get up to speed on this.

In the meantime, keep up the good work!

Cheers,

Country outlines project update - 2009/03/08

Remember "Around the World"?

Well, we've been around the World, and around again (virtually speaking, on Wikipedia), on this project.

Things have been slowing down again, so it's time for a big push...

We've gone live

This project needed a shot in the arm. Also, its draft pages have been littering Wikipedia's categories for months. The time seemed right to move all the country outline drafts to article space.

WHAT???

Well, the drafts had been sitting in Wikipedia space for a year.

WHAT???

Development has been moving at a snail's pace and we could use the help of the Wikipedia community at large (who are more likely to find these if they are in article space).

WHAT???

Yes, we've gone live.  :)

This puts pressure on us to get the blatantly incomplete elements of these outlines done. The only glaring problem is the government branches sections. These need to be corrected ASAP.

I've mentioned THE GOVERNMENT BRANCHES SECTIONS many times to many people over the past year, but the problem just doesn't seem to have been taken seriously. So let me put it another way:

HELP!!! I need your help on this now. Almost all the countries have a government with an executive branch, a legislative branch, and a judicial branch. The links for these branches need to be completed for each country outline:

Here's a convenient list you can use WP:LINKY on to access and edit these quickly. Please copy the list's link to the top of your talk page so that you can access it easily.

If you spot any standardization in links, and ways we can automate parts of this process, or for groups of countries that have links in common, please let me know!

Administrative support for outlines

There has been growing pressure on me to write up the administrative pages for outlines - their instructions, guidelines, etc. Therefore, I'm now in the process of composing these. Fortunately, it is mostly a matter of gathering material from messages I've written to you guys over the past year. Still, this is taking up most of my time, and I will be buried in these for the foreseeable future.

Traffic control

The next big task after the government branches sections are cleaned up is link support for the outlines.

There's quite a list of links and notices that need to be put in place around Wikipedia, providing access to them to readers, and alerting editors to the need to develop and maintain these pages. This will keep our bot people very busy (and happy).

But the most important thing right now is to get the government branches sections completed. So please, put your bots aside, roll up your shirt sleeves, and start typing.

Thank you.

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page . Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 17:19, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Henderson Village

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Henderson Village requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:11, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
