Peer review - OSU

You said at Talk:Ohio State University you would have some more advice after reading the campus section and below. Do you still think these areas need work? I'd love your feedback. Thanks, hmwithτ 05:47, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Oh, sorry. I forgot to review the rest. I'll have a look at the article in the late afternoon/evening. Barras (talk) 09:15, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

PVGA Review

Hey Barras,

I'd appreciate it if you could possibly take a look at Blackpool tramway which is my latest article at PVGA. All comments, both good and bad, would be appreciated.

While it's no big deal, you've just done the very thing that you said was "wrong" with the new system, i.e. not judging consensus. There was no consensus to promote that article, yet you still promote it? While I agree it's promotable, I remember you (and others) saying that you did not like the system because people can promote things just because they like it. That's technically what this is... Just a heads up. Goblin 17:34, 10 October 2009 (UTC) I ♥ Nifky!Reply
People thought my conversation with Eptalon on ST about OS election (only Eptalon and me commented) is consensus. THe question is: What is consensus? Not clear rules... you have to live with it. I don't care. No one participate, because they don't like this system, otherwise we could get consensus. Barras (talk) 17:37, 10 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
If you don't like the system, why are you closing VGAs? Why don't you comment on them and make consensus? Or why not make comments to make it better rather than just "i like the old one. let's go back to it" - I thought that you were a better Wikipedian than that. You'll actually we find we have more P(V)GAs than ever, so your argument doesn't really hold any weight with me... The rules are perfectly clear, if xyz users (And consensus is not a determinate amount of users, so yes, two people could be a consensus, but in this case there were no comments towards promoting) comment in favour of then we promote. Simples. <squeak> Goblin 17:59, 10 October 2009 (UTC) I ♥ Juliancolton!Reply
I closed it, because it was still time to close it. The system is failing because no one comments there. And sorry for having a real life and not always having time to read all suggestions and make comments. Barras (talk) 18:03, 10 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
Don't bring real life into this, i'm one of the users who advocates a real life and I have a very busy and hectic one myself. If you're not involved and object to it, then just poke someone else to close it, don't change your mind, it makes you look a fool. Or, instead of closing it why not make some suggestions... Anyway, i've said my bit and much more besides now. I'm off. Goblin 18:13, 10 October 2009 (UTC) I ♥ Nifky!Reply
First, I guess you know that I don't care what other say and when they disagree with me. Secondly, I don't change my mind. Thirdly, I were involded with my comments on the article's talk page and I closed it. I just didn't made another post that now all is fixed on the PVGA page. The look in the future: You will have a lot of fun with me and such closures and the best, I will not care about it and not respons to such threads. Barras (talk) 18:46, 10 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello barras,

In the interests of transparency, I shall repeat here what I said on IRC. I have reverted your demotion of this article as it was against criteria, i.e. you are an involved party and it is not "legal".

Your decline of QD

Actually, you are wrong. It was previously deleted due to A4, and the user recreated it, which makes it fall under the G4 rule. Razorflame 21:30, 15 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

G4 doesn't aply for already qded articles. Barras (talk) 21:31, 15 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
G4 applies for articles that are recreated after being previously deleted, which they were, so it does apply. Razorflame 21:32, 15 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
This rule cannot be used if the content had already been quickly deleted before. from Wikipedia:QD#G4 last sentence. Barras (talk) 21:33, 15 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
It still fails A4, so it should still be deleted. Thanks for clearing that up. Razorflame 21:34, 15 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Ried fan de Fryske Beweging

Hello, I want to ask you a Question. I am an employee from a organization what is called de Ried fan de Fryske Beweging (The Council of the Frisian movement) We are a organization who is trying to preserve the Frisian language and culture. Frisian is a minority language in the Netherlands. The question is would you translate this article about our organization in your language Ried fan de Fryske Beweging. So our organization gets a higher ranking. I thank you in forward. (sorry for my bad English) Greetings from Fryslân. Jellefrl (talk) 22:10, 17 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Brauche Hilfe in meinen Englischkentnissen :-)

Hallo Barras,
wie du schon mitbekommen hast versuche ich mich am übersetzen und denke das der BNR Artikel auch noch eine gewaltige Überarbeitung,wegen meiner grottigen Grammatik, von mir bedarf :-)
Nun weiss ich nicht wie ich folgendes Ausdrücken soll: "... Webalizer produziert standardmäßig zwei verschiedene Auswertungen ...", wie schreibe ich in simple-english das Wort "Auswertungen"?
Gruss --LSG1 (talk) 20:09, 22 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hallo! "Webalizer normally produces two different analyses..." könnte gehen, glaub ich. Denke immer daran, die Sätze so jkurz wie Möglich zu halten und möglichst alles verlinken auch wie hier zum wikionary. Gruß Barras (talk) 20:34, 22 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Talk page change feature

Hi Barras. Please could you change my Samlaptop85213 setings so that I will be able to change my talk page in the future. Prehaps you could protect it for a very long time and then once it's unprotected I will make an unblock request. I can be sensible on forums, so that means I will be able to be sensible here on Wikipedia. I promise this time! This is my big promise that once my talk page is not proteccted, I will make a unblock request and I will edit nicely. I want to make constructive edits on that Bop It article but I am blocked indef. I also promised the admin that I will never slip up. I have been unbaned from that forum for a month now, and I never done anything wrong. That's one reason why my settings should be changed.--92.14.247.114 (talk) 09:17, 31 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Absolutely no need. Stop using your IP to post requests and editing in violation of your block. I'd advise this request be declined. If you want unblocks, mail to simple-admins-I. Pmlineditor  09:20, 31 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

What is the problem with saying hi to someone? Majorly talk 19:06, 1 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

This wasn't a hi, this looked more like a nonsense edit to annoy/ping others. I don't see any sense behind this edit and told this the user. Furthermore, it is pretty useless. This user is inactive. Barras (talk) 19:10, 1 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
It was a greeting of some sort, please don't go around threatening blocks for non-blockable purposes. Majorly talk 19:13, 1 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
I don't even need to tell him that this aren't constructive edits per our current blocking policy: Administrators also have the right to block users who have been banned on other Wikipedias or other Wikimedia Foundation projects. This will be decided on a case-by-case basis. If there is no purpose to make such edits I can do it without any discussion. Barras (talk) 19:19, 1 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
That does not equate to "block regardless of merit". It would certainly require discussion, as I've not seen any problematic edits. Clearly there was a purpose, you just didn't see it. Majorly talk 20:03, 1 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

So. Mein erster Artikel für die Simple-English-Wikipedia ist fertig. Ich hoffe, dass er simpel genug im Sinne dieses Projekts ist ;) - eine Ironie des Schicksals ist jetzt, dass er um ein Vielfaches umfangreicher ist als der in der "richtigen" englischen WP. An die trau ich mich aber nicht soo richtig ran, auch wenn der Schulenglischunterricht "erst" 3,5 Jahre zurückliegt. Naja, was solls; wenn der Artikel zu gestelzt ist, kann gerne noch weiter simplifiziert werden ;) Ach ja, das Rollback brauch ich erstmal wohl nicht, sooo aktiv wollt ich hier auch wieder nicht werden (wie du siehst, hab ich mich schon 06 hier angemeldet, hab hier einen einzigen Edit getätigt und war dann bis vor ein paar Wochen wieder verschollen); und so lange gehts auch mit der "umständlichen" Methode :) --Steffen Löwe Gera (talk) 22:45, 5 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Muss sagen, es sieht gut aus. Habe noch ein Komma reingemacht, aber der rest dürfte stimmen. Ich finde es auch besser, das hier mitmachst, wir sind besser als en ;) Würde mich freuen wenn ich dich öffters mal sehe. Falls du noch mal irgendwelche Hilfe brauchst, so dag einfach bescheid.

Request for deletion

how can he just go and close it without discussion? the word occupied is inherently pov..Zvn (talk) 19:23, 13 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Because the cat is ok. I don't see a reason to delete it. --Barras (talk) 19:24, 13 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Wow it was closed without any kind of refute to my reason for nominating it. "Its acceptable" that's all? Do you mean to say the part of Kashmir on India's side was actually illegally captured by India? Why doesn't such a category exist on en.wikipedia.org? Because its non-neutral. At least let the discussion take place? --Zvn (talk) 19:30, 13 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

If you think it is the title that's the bad part, so just move it. At least to me and one other editer it looks ok, but I wouldn't mind a move. And only because enwiki doesn't have such a cat doesn't mean we can't have it. --Barras (talk) 19:33, 13 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Sure but how to move it? :) --Zvn (talk) 19:34, 13 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

e/c We are not saying that anything to do with Kashmir has been conducted illegally or not. That would then give us a POV ourselves and we do not wish to have one (or at least I don't) on this topic as I know nothing about it. "Occupied" does not state a POV and simply states facts, thus why we closed it. We are not the English Wikipedia and it therefore doesn't matter if it's the same here as it is there. There is nothing wrong with the category, and two of us have now said so. Please, leave this alone now. Thanks, Goblin 19:35, 13 November 2009 (UTC) I ♥ Juliancolton!Reply
 (change conflict)  I'm not sure if you are autoconfirmed. If you are, there should be a tab (like the edit button) on the top of the page which is named "move". Try this. If there isn't such a tab for you, just tell me the wished name and I do it for you. --Barras (talk) 19:36, 13 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thank you Barras. Please change the title to "Category:India administered Kashmir". I don't see a tab to use myself.--Zvn (talk) 19:39, 13 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

I learned now a now thing. Now I know that I would have to create a new category and have to fix all page that use this category. Then I would have to delete the old one. My today's lesson: We can't move categories. --Barras (talk) 19:48, 13 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Never mind then, Barras. Thank you for trying :/

Hey Zvn, as Barras mentioned above Categories cannot be moved due to restrictions on the MediaWiki software. This gives us a few options:
  • Keep it as it is
  • Create/delete and manually change all links
  • Create/delete but run a "bot" on it in an hour or so.
The third option would be the best imo, but it's your guys call. I can run the bot from about 9UTC if so required; i'm not on my PC atm.

Hi Barras

I have decided that next yeaer, I'm going to ask for my mail and talk page to be removed. I promise that for next year, I will never ever make vandal edits. From now on, I wil make constructive edits. I can correct things if I need to. I have done on the bop it article becaues I know about bop it and I have the lot.

So next year, change my block settings and I will be correcting information. That's why I should be unblocked because I can behave and I do correct things.--84.13.255.122 (talk) 18:10, 14 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

You moved River Yaque del Norte

I have found that you moved River Yaque del Norte to Yaque del Norte River for not valid reason, at least for me. There are only four wikis with a similar article and it would be very easy to made the appropriate changes; I was planning to make them but you were faster than me.

Normally I like when people correct my articles because English is not my language but I do not like changes like this when it would be very easy to ask me first. But it is OK; I did realize that I have been working a lot in Wikipedia (in several languages), forgetting my very own website. Now I am going to work on my website and forget about Wikipedia for several months. Jmarcano (talk) 00:40, 3 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

There is a valid reason. I used it in the move summary. We normally use enwikis names of articles. If an article already exists on en, so we use the same name (always). And please remember: It's a wiki. I don't need to ask people before I change/move the page they created when I have a reason. If you leave for a move, so it's probably better for you do do so. The move was and still is valid and also with a valid reason. Regards --Barras (talk) 13:56, 3 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the info, but I'm not going to report it, because 1) Id on't know where/how, 2) it's surely on enwiki (where I'm rarely active) and 3) I don't really care as this is the first time from this IP. Best --Barras talk 17:02, 16 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
Well for future reference, it is located here (on Meta). Just follow the example of earlier reports. Griffinofwales (talk) 17:04, 16 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
Ah, on meta... The page is already on my watch list. I made a notice on my desk an hope I will not forget it if I need this. Thanks --Barras talk 17:08, 16 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Merry Christmas Barras

Hi Barras

Merry Christmas. Hope that I get unblocked soon.--92.11.183.221 (talk) 07:10, 25 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Umm... I'm not Barras, but I must ask: You are not blocked from what I can tell from your block log. Are you using an alternate account inappropriately? —Mythdon [talk] [changes] 07:12, 25 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
It's Samlaptop. See his other messages above. Heh. --Bsadowski1(Talk|Changes) 07:13, 25 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Anyway, thanks :) --Barras talk 10:16, 25 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Skins (TV Series)

Hey there Barras. The reason why I nominated it for quick deletion was because I am pretty sure that the MW software would automatically redirect to that if you typed it in all caps. We could always do a little experiment to see if I am right or not. Delete it and then type it into the search box and see if it automatically redirects. If it does, leave it deleted. If it does not, restore it. Fair enough for you? Razorflame 21:00, 29 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

I deleted it and tried it. It seems to work this way. The Media Wiki software seems to autofix this. Regards --Barras talk 21:05, 29 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
Great :). I was pretty sure that I was right about it, and I guess that I learnt that kind of redirect killing from editing on the Simple English Wiktionary ;). Razorflame 21:07, 29 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
