You proposed deletion for the article 11978571669969891796072783721689098736458938142546425857555362864628009582789845319680000000000000000 (number), and I am not sure why.

In the article, it is mentioned why the number is notable (that it is the first factorial number above one google). Although the article is short, it still has content.

Please let me know your feelings on this subject. Thank you.

Hello Hit bull, win steak. Thank you for your support at request for adminship which ended at the overwhelming and flattering result of (160/1/0), and leaves me in a position of having to live up to a high standard of community expectation. If you need any admin assistance, feel free to ask me, and naturally, if I make any procedural mistakes, feel free to point them out and I look forward to working with you in the future, and keep moooooooing.

Well, the deleted pages contained various rather nasty insults and other nonsense. This, combined with the attack content added to articles about football players (Ruud van Nistelrooy, Didier Drogba) led me to my decision to block the account. - Mike Rosoft 14:50, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there,

Thanks for having a look at the Monkey Kettle entry I created this afternoon. Sorry if it doesn't seem like it has enough Interest (I think that might be the reason), or if it seemed like a Vanity Entry - I was just browsing through the list of UK Literary Magazines, and came across several magazines similar in size and popularity to ours, so thought I would try adding an entry for our own magazine, along the basis of "well, if they're on there, presumably we should be on there". Is that not appropriate?

Or do I need to add more info to the entry? Cheers,

Matthewmt 15:06, 12 June 2006 (UTC)x[reply]

Oh right - well, I didn't actually add that myself, I only noticed for the first time today, and all I did was change the spelling of my name, cos whoever added it got it wrong. I'll wipe my name off forthwith! ;-) So it wasn't you that put the Monkey Kettle entry up for deletion?

Thanks - am slowly starting to get to grips with this!

Matthewmt 15:15, 12 June 2006 (UTC)Matthewmt[reply]

Cheers - it looks like Friday is not a fan of something called "cruft" which I guess the article as it stands could be classed as. I'll have a look in my archives and see what else I can add to reduce the "cruftness". Thanks again.

Matthewmt 15:21, 12 June 2006 (UTC)Matthewmt[reply]

That would seem to be what those other mags have done. Cheers, I'll try that.

Hi. Thanks for informing me about that : I probably wouldn't have noticed otherwise. Morwen - Talk 15:57, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, you did it fine. As a checkuser clerk, Essjay wants us to be impartial and not look like we are making decisions or rulings on cases; however if I see a missing piece of information that might be useful to a case I will often add it. Thatcher131 17:58, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did however remove your comment for the reason indicated in the edit summary. Checkuser requests should not deteriorate into pissing contests between accusers and acusees. (Trust me, no one will be fooled.) Thatcher131 21:40, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, if you want to pursue this immediately (without waiting for the check) you could move for the RFC to be dismissed, as it is clear that single purpose accounts (polite name for meat puppets) are to be treated as single accounts just like sockpuppets (WP:SOCK). So the RFC was certainly certified in bad faith, and the mediation was probably also carried out in bad faith since, by sometimes no logging in at all, he/they gave the impression of being at least 3 people with that view. (In fact, someone with a Pacbell IP address has been pushing since July 2005 to include Amber's boyfriends in Amber Benson, against the wishes of a group of IP addresses trying to take it out.) Thatcher131 21:47, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

well, the mediation case has a mediator. For the RFC, I'm not really sure. Read around the instruction page and see if it mentions anyone responsible for keeping an eye out. You should also tell Morwen, he would probably be the best person to make a motion for closure. Thatcher131 22:08, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Mackensen's reply about not giving out IP addresses, if you look at Cuthbert11's first edit (to an AfD) and read the rest of the AfD, you will find a remark from a Pacbell IP that is signed Cuthbert11. However, I'm not sure how you would use the information, since IPs change and should only be given short term blocks. IMO, any SoCal IP that acts like Cuthbert can be treated like Cuthbert, even without certified proof. Thatcher131 17:18, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. I have decided to suspend the mediation, to see how the RFCU comes up and to give the parties a time out. I also decided to strike all personal attacks on the page and my hands are still covered in blood! BrownHornet21 02:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You tagged the above article as a speedy under CSD A7 and rightly so. i've deleted it. i've also noticed that you have already appraised the creator of that article that it may be deleted. it is a good thing to let them know as it helps them in understanding the system here - unfortunately very few speedy taggers do this.

hi there Hit bull, win steak. Due to the fact that nobody notified of the commentary at WP:ANI on my deletion of this article, I managed to miss the post as the headline didn't mention me specifically - I was unable to respond to the claims of the user before it went dead. There is a long response I posted to the user in question on my own page - but in short, the claim to notability that was present in his autobio was that he was a PhD student. AFAIK, I have seen random PhD students speedily deleted before and so, I wrote that comment in the deletion summary to make clearer the a7 reasoning. As for his claims that I had many angry messages about my deletions, well that is true, but they were about expired prods and a repost of Kai Wong, so I had to reiterate that I have not being roguely deleting stuff, just in case me might have misled anyone. Thankyou, Blnguyen | rant-line 03:28, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Hit bull, win steak, and thank you for your support at my Request for Adminship, which succeeded with an overwhelming final count of (105/2/0). I was very pleased with the outpouring of kind words from the community that has now entrusted me with these tools, from the classroom, the lesson in human psychology and the international resource known as Wikipedia. The Free Encyclopedia. Please feel free to leave me plenty of requests, monitor my actions (through the admin desk on my userpage) and, if you find yourself in the mood, listen to some of what I do in real life. In any case, keep up the great work and have a fabulous day. Grandmasterka 06:11, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at your contributions, I think that you would be a good administrator. Are you interested in this? If so, I'd be glad to start working on a RFA nomination for you. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 17:45, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

While the suggestion is quite flattering, it is most certainly too early for me to consider being an administrator quite yet. I feel like I've just recently gotten my bearings ;) Additionally, I'm about to move out for college so it's going to be really hectic very soon and I'm not sure if I'll be able to have an internet service lined up. So basically, right now would be really bad timing for me. Thanks for the thought though :) --SeizureDog 21:21, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for coming to my defense with regards to the recent complaint levied against me by Quadzilla99 on the admin noticeboard. I've spend a fair bit of time cleaning up some of the pages started by and edited by this user, however he feels that many of my edits and requests for sources are a form of harassment. Again, thanks. Yankees76 14:15, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On the admin thread you noted:

"I have to say that missing citation tags don't seem unreasonable to me, since the article does not include any reliable sources, just references to Apple-produced documents."

What is unreliable about Apple-produced documents? Many of my articles use the company's own documentation (manuals), and this is the case for the vast majority of the articles on software that I can find.

Is this actually a problem? If so, can you point to a policy on this? I looked over CITE and ref pages, and I can't see anything that seems to suggest this is a bad ref.

Maury 14:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the statements in the AppleShare article conform to this standard (such as system requirements and release dates), while others do not (the section on the Advanced Technology Group, the re-use of code within Sherlock, etc.).

Ok, these certainly apply. Now here's the problem: I was sitting there when Steve Cisler, of ATG, gave the demo of Rosebud in 1992, and before I was laid off and the admin in question deleted it all, I had personal e-mail from him stating that AppleSearch was built from Rosebud.

So these are facts, and they are true. Is there some sort of guideline for using direct personal evidence? Maury 15:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, more questions. So WHY can't one use your own personal experience as a ref on a 3rd party demo? I'm not sure I understand the logic there. The basic chain of logic is "I saw Steve say this is AppleSearch". So what is the (potential) problem with this? That I am incorrect? It would appear that simply publishing that statement doesn't do anything to correct that problem. But as you point out, the book in question directly supports the statements -- in fact it seems the author saw the same demo I did.

And I have to describe it too, we were at what was basically an all-DOS show about BBSs (remember those?) and up comes this demo. The room was packed, overflowing into the hallway. Up comes the Rosebud demo, and you could (literally) hear the gasps of awe. Really, gasps. Standing ovation at the end (well, some of us were standing to begin with...). And then they release AppleSearch, which was about as cool as watching paint dry. *sigh* Maury 15:54, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

---

More guidance needed. I recently added the ref you found (thanks!) and removed one of the cite needed tags. Now it looks like I'm involved in a revert war with Tom over whether or not that source also covers the other (randomly inserted) cites in the same paragraph.

So two questions:

1. is there official policy, or even guidelines, on when a cite is required, as opposed to a footnote? Even Tom agrees that the statements in the article are covered in the footnotes. So is there any obligation to add in-lines? I only hesitate because in this particular case the tags were added seemingly at random by someone I believe is completely unfamiliar with the topic in question (although that may be a ruse, who knows). Some of them make sense, but others are silly, and still others examples were not tagged when even I think they should have been. So is there any obligation on my part, or anyone else, to fill these in?issue

1. is there any guidance on whether or not an editor can remove a cite needed tag?

In this particular case one of the tags is on a release date being "about 1991". Even if this statement were untrue, which it isn't, that error would not materially effect the article itself. So should I ignore it, as I am inclined to do?

I find it difficult to believe that a cite needed tag is a one-way operation.

Adminship[edit]

User:Khoikhoi wants to be admin. Please contribute in a neutral voting.

Here is my oppinion in vote; "Strong Oppose User:Khoikhoi is leading a group of user, menaging and communicating among group genarally by e-mails not in talk pages directly.This group acting in a systematic way to revert articles, when one of member make 3rv reverts than one another continue with 4rv(against punishment for violating 3rv rule). All member of group are very radical nationalist. They are working generally Turk/Turkey and Religion related articles to put anti-Turk POV and anti-Islam POV. Some of the member are suspected as Suck poppet, one is clear; User:Tekleni and User:Tzkeai, till to 03 Oct.2006 there were two users , at that date User:Tzkeai redirected to User:Tekleni.No need like an Administrator in WIKIPEDIA Mustafa AkalpTC 11:13, 19 October 2006 (UTC)"

Hey, actually I did look at it. I wasn't sure if it was some kind of surrealist thing between you and the vandal or if it was a personal attack, and since it was their last edit I didn't block them. I try to be careful when vandalism is directed against user talk pages because it can be tricky, sorry if I left you hanging and thanks for the note. Kaisershatner 18:42, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And look at the edit history, I removed them 10 minutes after their last edit; they hadn't done anything since. They've since been blocked by aeropagica, but that was at 18:33 and was well after the fact. Blocks are technically not supposed to be punitive. Anyway, I hope they don't bother you, and sorry if I made an error here. Kaisershatner 18:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for blocking this problem user. I was wondering, however, whether you might be willing to expand the duration of the block? If you look through his/her contribution tree, you'll see that he/she has literally NO non-vandal contributions, and has been persistently creating hoax articles and copyvio images since he/she started editing. I think the risk of recalcitrance greatly outweighs any potential reward here. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 23:06, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

--Kevin Murray 01:07, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rough Ideas for Military Notabilty standards:

• Has attained the rank of General, Admiral, or above, or a rank of equivalent stature by another name. However, there should be some description of the career without a specific standard of notability to the career, and a reference sufficient to document the rank to prevent hoaxes.

• Has been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor (US), Victoria’s Cross (UK), or another recognition of high courage with similar standards and stature. However, there must be at minimum a description of the action for which the honor was bestowed including a description of the conflict, the opposing forces, and the approximate date.

• Has had a notable effect on a conflict, the service, military technology or is otherwise notable per any other WP criteria.

We have no specific standards for notability of miilitary personnel. What do you think?

"Doesn't bother me personally, but appears to violate policy..."

You do realize that technically your own username violates the username policy?

1. It promotes or implies violence.
2. It is offensive to religions that believe cows are sacred and/or should not be eaten (Hindus, Jainists, and many Buddhists).

Surely there is room for interpretation and common sense in how we apply these policies. I don't think we should be so quick to purge everything under the sun that might potentially be offensive to some group of people somewhere. Shouldn't there be some room for self-expression as long as they are obviously not trying to offend anyone? Kaldari 02:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The relevant question is not the intent to offend, but rather the offense itself. There's a big thread right now on ANI about the blocking of a user who apparently quite innocently chose a name that is evocative of white supremacist beliefs (see WP:ANI#User:ARYAN818_is_blocked). Even if he didn't mean to be offensive, it's still a problem, and as a result he's been asked to change the name. I feel that this situation is in practice no different. Also, I'm required by WikiLaw to point out that the discussion to which you refer is just that: a discussion, not a vote. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 03:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I realize it appears that I was merely attacking you due to your position on OhOurGod, but believe it or not, I do actually find your username offensive. That's why it seemed particularly ironic to me that you were taking the position that you were. Although I don't normally disclose personal information about myself, I am a non-practicing Hindu (Kaldari is actually my last name) and a life-long vegetarian. I appreciate that it probably sounds rediculous that I would find your username offensive, but that's precisely how I feel about complaints that OhOurGod and similar usernames are "offensive". The way we judge offensiveness seems to be completely subjective and biased to a Western point of view. If people such as myself actually do find your username offensive, do you still believe that the relevant question is not the intent to offend, but rather the offense itself? Regardless, I'm sorry I gave the impression of harrassing you or seeking some kind of petty retribution. My choice of using your username to make my point was a bad choice. I apologize for that. If there's anything I can do to make it up to you, let me know. Kaldari 17:20, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you can find a group of similarly-minded editors who also find my username offensive and muster them together on WP:RFCN, I will change it. Similarly, if you change WP:U in such a fasion that my name becomes a violation of policy, I will change the name. The only way to demonstrate that a name is offensive is to find people who are offended by it, as people were doing with the username under discussion when the whole situation arose. The proof is in the pudding.

I accept the apology you offered above, since it seems more sincere than the one you posted on WP:ANI, but I have lost a lot of respect for you as an administrator for treating me in this way and for misusing your powers in this fashion (even if the intent was not to intimidate, that was certainly the impression you created, demonstrating again the important distinction between intent and result). As a consequence of what happened, I don't like you or trust your judgment on administrative matters, but I'm willing to try and work around that in the interest of Wikipedia if you will do the same. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 17:34, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The way I see it the principle here is that you seem to be convinced that the article needs to be deleted, while the other 80% don't. You can keep on riding this principle but I doubt that there will be another outcome even if there is a 70th nomination. Let me put it this way: If Jr. was not notable no journalist would bother to ask him for his opinion and then make a large article out of it. It has been done, so that would make him notable Alf photoman 22:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kaldari[edit]

I understand your reversion, but disagree with it. I'll try to explain: I honestly don't think that we should have an article about him at all (which is why I nominated it for AFD), but as a thought experiment of sorts I'm going through the article and trying to re-work it into a good article, just to see whether it can actually be done. The 13-year-old thing would normally be irrelevant by itself, but there are several sources which state that his father intervened on his behalf with news organizations at the time of the school suspension. As such, it's theoretically relevant as a supporting piece of evidence for the only structure under which Gore III might even possibly be notable: As a force affecting his father's political career, and as an examplar of/cautionary tale about the media's treatment of the minor children of public figures.

Anyway, I'm willing to leave it out at present, but in return I'd ask that you be willing to reconsider your position once the article reaches a more advanced state (assuming it isn't deleted/merged first). Thanks! -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 00:03, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point about the relevancy. If this were explained better in the article, I would accept that it is relevant. As it was, it just seemed tacked onto the end of the paragraph without explanation. Regardless, my primary objection is violation of privacy, not the relevancy issue. Al Gore III is a borderline public figure at best. We should not be advertising embarrassing incidents from his adolescence regardless of how crass the media is about it. As an encyclopedia (and, according to Google, the highest authority on Al Gore III's life) we have a slightly higher standard to live up to. As it is now half of the article consists of negative information. Clearly this is not a balanced article. I'm willing to accept this for now, because I know there is no consensus to try to make it balanced. However, I think we need to draw the line at some point and I think talking about Al Gore III being suspended from school at the age of 13 is clearly stepping over that line. I also think posting his mugshot in the article (as was done previously) is stepping over the line. I imagine we all have things we did when we were 13 that we would rather not have written about in an encyclopedia. Kaldari 00:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Hit Bull, Win Streak: In reference to your constant re-adding of the trivia section to Spring Training, I ask that you please stop adding poorly written facts that are not remotely necessary nor encyclopedic. The paragraph in question is poorly written, jumps across several topics and doesn't actually inform anyone of anything. Also, there is no source attached to the fact to back it up. If you continue to add useless information, it could be considered vanadalism and you may be blocked from editting. Thank you. -Mtcupps— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mtcupps (talk • contribs)

I personally have no problem with the reports to WP:RFCN and actually reccomend them.

I didn't look at your response, but now that I have -- even though the debate is closed -- you might want to look that all siblings of Richard Nixon seem to have articles - even a brother who died at age 7.

• I think there's a pretty big difference between a President (the leader of the free world) and a Vice President (a guy who waits around for his boss to die, and occasionally breaks ties in the Senate). That said, if given my druthers I'd merge Arthur and Harold into a section of Nixon's own article, since both of their articles have more to do with Nixon than with their nominal subjects.

You write:

As for the post, I was attempting to call attention to the irony of you citing Danny's record as a Foundation employee as evidence that he's reliable and trustworthy, when at least two of the 'crats who actively participated in the close stated that people weren't allowed to use any aspect of his performance as a Foundation employee as a reason to oppose the nomination.

Ah I suppose I can see what youre saying if I squint a bit. The bureaucrats discounted the opposes based on OFFICE because Danny was doing his job. That such objections are discounted as inappropriate makes sense, because he was acting as an agent of Wikimedia. But it doesn't make sense to discount the fact that he held this position of utmost trust and executed it well. That is the one of the greatest points in his credit, though it certainly isn't even close to being the only one. --Tony Sidaway 15:50, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not everyone holds the opinion that he executed the role well - Look at the complaints about his executing WP:OFFICE actions from the wrong account, for example, or the criticism that he didn't make the rationale behind OFFICE actions as clear and accessible to the "general public" as he could have. Those address not the nature of his role, but specific aspects of his performance within that role, and as such are extremely relevant to his potential future peformance as an admin. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that the closers understand/care about the distinction. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 16:01, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, while I don't share their opinion, I think the people who opposed him simply for having held the roles that he's held in the past have a valid POV. It doesn't have to come down to simple vindictiveness and spite; they might have felt that we need newer blood in positions of authority (similar to the desire for term limits for politicians), or that it'd be disrespectful to the Board to appoint him to another position of authority, or that it's important to preserve a partition between people on the operational side of things and the volunteers (like you and I), or any one of a number of other concerns. At a minimum, the 'crats who closed this should have asked for clarification from those users before saying that their opinions don't matter. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 16:06, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well from the above I think you can appreciate that a lot of material was brought to this request for adminship simply because Danny worked for the Foundation. A lot of people did have pretty severe reservations, from matters that I would class as trivial, like whether he used this or that account, to severe ones like his unwillingness (and as a person who has done OTRS duty I can understand why) to communicate on Office matters. Someone, Cyde I think, said that those of us in the know are aware of Danny's reasoning. I know that sounded terribly patronising and wishy-washy, but it's a very important facet of Wikipedia's work, and is very much the reason why Wikipedia has so far failed to be pulled into any major legal cases. --Tony Sidaway 16:19, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that in a lot of respects it's difficult to separate Danny-the-candidate from Danny-the-former-administrator. That's part of the reason that in my !vote, I stated that it might have been best if he had put in a few months' worth of work as a regular editor, to help create some separation between his old roles and his new ones (whatever those may be). Right now, he's mostly defined by things that he can't/won't discuss, and that's a big hurdle for people who place a high value on transparency. I'm unhappy because with this close, we've got the worst of both worlds: A promotion supported by a consensus that's weak at best, which will undermine the credibility of the process and greatly hamper his future work as an admin. Even if he's purer than Caesar's wife in all respects for the next six months, there are still going to be people who cry foul whenever he does anything of significance, looking for conspiracies in every action. And God help him if he actually DOES make a mistake... -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 17:14, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think a little bit of Assume good faith will tide this one over, just as it did after the Carnildo affair. People call fall on administrators all the time, and have done so historically against Danny. He's already shown that he's big enough to weather that. --Tony Sidaway 17:17, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for letting me know about that ANI entry. Thanks for addressing this editors concerns. I am probably not going to reply on the ANI page as I have to agree that this is more a matter for RFC or RFM. I'm also finding it hard to be objective given that this user has called me a Wanker several times[4],[5], despite having been politely requested not to do so by a 3rd party[6]. He has also accused me of engaging in ownership. When he did that, I asked for a 3rd opinion, a fellow editor kindly offered their neutral 3rd opinion which he never responded to or acknowledged Talk:Siddha Yoga/Archive 3#Request for 3rd Opinion. I'm not trying to present evidence here, I'm just clarifying why it's difficult for me to remain objective. So I'm going to keep an eye on that thread.

Good job re-inserting that pic. I guess it got lost in a flurry of vandalism, I was wondering what happened to it. Trevor GH5 01:20, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks. I saw that a guy had swapped it out for a non-free image, which I guess is a understandable mistake for a new user to make. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 03:54, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for the kind words. In regard to the people who were disrespectful, well what can you do? You've got all kinds here, the good ones, the regular ones and the down right rotten ones, but as long as we got the good ones whose dedication and fine work have made the pedia what it is, then I'm fine.

I realize that I was being a bit of a dick and I apologize (I am wondering if I have the temperament to edit here at all). As I said before I do agree that this deserves some space in the article. I do worry about people trying to add on family guy and south park stuff, but now that you have cited it (and Al Gore was directly involved) I don't think it will be much of a problem. The only thing I have an issue with is the picture but as I have badgered you already and you have done quite a bit of work I will just kind of back off and see if anyone else has an opinion. Btw, he is also going to be appearing in the next futurama dvd movie. FYI. Turtlescrubber 14:03, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to reply on your talk page. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 14:05, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
