I figured you'd "complete" the task you set for yourself, I guess I was just checking. I'd help, but, as you pointed out, you're done. You're pretty efficient when you get going, and it wasn't a huge task (hehe, I remember you racing against the "footnotes" bot, I think you either tied or won a small victory on the race from A to M vs. Z to M?) ħuman 00:08, 4 January 2009 (EST)

I think it was a tie. : ) And thank you. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 00:12, 4 January 2009 (EST)

Hehe... yah, probably. Very close, either way. And you're welcome. New project ;) Alphabetize the categories on every article! Isn't it time we did that? Food for thought = brain worms? ħuman 00:16, 4 January 2009 (EST)

Alphabetize the categories? *shudders* That's crazy talk. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 00:23, 4 January 2009 (EST)

I was about to explain how I intended to continue arranging categories using my logical yet highly arbitrary rubric, but now that I think about it, alphabetizing them makes much more sense. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 00:23, 4 January 2009 (EST)

Mathematics Articles

I see you've taken notice of my work. I recently uploaded some images and used them in a few articles, but for some reason I cannot upload any more images. Do you know what could be causing this? thescaryworker 21:12, 5 January 2009 (EST)

New users have the number of images they can upload limited, in order to head off vandalism. You can either wait until tomorrow, or... I can make you a sysop. (Seeing all the hard work you're doing, I will do so if you ask.) Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 21:41, 5 January 2009 (EST)

Thanks, that would be great. Currently I'm coming over from Conservapedia's moronic work environment and bringing my articles with me. I'm working in conjunction with a few people who recently left CP's diminishing ranks of mathematics editors. thescaryworker 21:50, 5 January 2009 (EST)

Actually the uploads are shut down because I am in proccess of moving the site to a new server. Everything will be back to normal as soon as we are moved. tmtoulouse 21:53, 5 January 2009 (EST)

I saw that, but I'd never actually processed that it used three columns instead of two. I probably would've been easier if I'd just copied that instead of trying to splice a third column into the two-column version on my own.

Yes you have. I would like my password and my email returned to what they were. I would also like an apology. It doesn't matter that you did it on the old RationalWiki—what you did was a gross violation of privacy.

Help (other than psychological)

Hi,

I still prefer that you kill the redirects to this page in your userspace, though—double redirects don't work.

I'm new to this janitor job and I don't know how to find the double redirects to stamp them out. Would you mind walking me through it? Thanks.

--UnicornTapestry 04:55, 24 January 2009 (EST)

Of course I don't mind. ^_^ It's easy: just go to Special:DoubleRedirects, and you'll find every double redirect listed there. Of the handful we have, most are there on purpose (like the "Circular reasoning" one). The page I was prompting you to delete is listed there: User:UnicornTapestry/sandbox/Goatism. Another page you should clear out is User talk:UnicornTapestry/sandbox/Goatism—it's not a double redirect (and hence not listed with the others), but it is a redirect no one will ever use. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 05:08, 24 January 2009 (EST)

Thanks! Easy once you've shown me how. --UnicornTapestry 05:35, 24 January 2009 (EST)

Just a reminder, Unicorn: you're not supposed to delete talk pages with content in them. Ever. Just so you know, I already resurrected it. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 05:48, 24 January 2009 (EST)

Recatting

Could you please make yourself a bot while recatting things - you're cluttering up recent changes. Phantom Hoover 05:37, 25 January 2009 (EST)

Is that a serious request? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 05:37, 25 January 2009 (EST)

Yes. Why wouldn't it be? Phantom Hoover 05:45, 25 January 2009 (EST)

It just struck me as a silly request. Could you tell me how it makes things difficult for you? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 05:52, 25 January 2009 (EST)

It makes it harder to find interesting edits and is a general nuisance. Phantom Hoover 05:54, 25 January 2009 (EST)

I understand, Phantom. So I'm sorry to say that I am not willing to change myself into a bot whenever I feel like mass recatting. I do not feel I am out of line to ask you to just bear with it. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 06:00, 25 January 2009 (EST)

Turning human editors into bots is pretty dubious. Are you sure we should be doing it? Wëäŝëïöïď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 16:18, 25 January 2009 (EST)

As long as they get turned back before they need to eat (or drink) again, the lasting effects are negligible. ħuman 19:11, 25 January 2009 (EST)

Phantom Hoover (as he requested, and I granted) or anyone else is free to bot themselves when making repetitive edits. I view it as a matter of personal preference, and I will not do so myself. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 19:18, 25 January 2009 (EST)

RA, do you think you could pause your recatting efforts for a while? I really think there's some serious problems developing in this catting saga, and it's just getting worse as you go. Let's talk about it first. DogP 00:45, 6 February 2009 (EST)

Alright. Sorry for doing that doing the discussion—it's a well-ingrained habit in me to "fix" (what to me are) poorly-categorized articles when I see them. I'll hold off until we can reach some sort of agreement. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 00:52, 6 February 2009 (EST)

No, it's a habit for you to do whatever you feel like, without ever asking for "community" input. Notice that I was not the one to complain first here, you are fudging up the wiki with your own preconceived notion of how it should be organized. DogP, is this being discussed in one central location, at least? ħuman 02:47, 6 February 2009 (EST)

I think your accusation of "fudging up the wiki" is uselessly subjective. To me, my actions are helpful, and to you, my actions are "fudging up the wiki". Until the discussion regarding categories has been concluded, neither of us can claim to be right about which catting policy is and is not most useful to the site. Hence, why I stopped recatting and have engaged in the discussion, so we can work out the best course of action. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 03:20, 6 February 2009 (EST)

I have apologized and stopped recategorizing, as Doggedpersistence asked of me. Now, Human, did you have any constructive criticism to share with me, or did you just want to pile some shit on? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 03:20, 6 February 2009 (EST)

CUR

CUR is currently being dragged across RationalWiki:Administrative Abuse‎ as you seem largely disinterested and around now could you make the final decision? - User $\scriptstyle {\sqrt {12}}\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }(-3)^{-n}(2n+1)^{-1}$ 22:21, 27 January 2009 (EST)

Good call, PI. Thanks. TheoryOfPractice 22:26, 27 January 2009 (EST)

What exactly do you want me to decide upon? I'm willing to supervise any probation placed on CUR, though I currently don't see much agreement regarding the terms of probation. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 22:31, 27 January 2009 (EST)

Aaah; Query "disinterested" as RA was the one who Sysoped CUR Love² 22:58, 27 January 2009 (EST)

I think they mean "disinterested" in the sense that I haven't lobbied for any side in the discussion about CUR, and have stayed out of the various related furry/therian/otherkin discussions. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 23:05, 27 January 2009 (EST)

WHO sysopped CUR is irrelevant--everyone gets sysopped after a while, it's SOP. TheoryOfPractice 23:08, 27 January 2009 (EST)

Not necessarily. Some 'crats sysop new users faster than others. I think it's highly relevant. For instance, I never would have sysopped CUR. He has always been too much of a clumsy idiot to be trusted with a lousy mop and broom. RA sysopped him when he was not necessarily "mostly harmless" - CUR has been edit warring and making a jerk out of himself since day one. ħuman 01:17, 28 January 2009 (EST)

Bork

You borked your edit to fun:poutine. What are the odds you mucked up any of your other 700 recatting edits? Can you re-check them for functionality in your copious spare time? I'd like to think I don't have to check your recatting work for competence, since I prefer to trust you... ħuman 01:24, 28 January 2009 (EST)

I stand by all my work as being done to the best of my ability. I am, of course, only human, so naturally I will make mistakes.

As for the mistake rate on my "700 recatting edits", I would like to think it shares the same rate as your your 10,000+ mainspace edits. I look forward to continuing our mutual trust in each other's editing abilities.

Additionally, I am putting renewed effort into obtaining employment, and will generally only be available on weekday evenings and all day on weekends, so my free time is unfortunately not as abundant as it once was. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 13:55, 28 January 2009 (EST)

Vandal group

The vandal group on the bureaucrats user menu doesn't work. I have been editing like this for nearly a day. - User $\scriptstyle {\sqrt {12}}\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }(-3)^{-n}(2n+1)^{-1}$ 20:13, 28 January 2009 (EST)

Hilarious. Of course, tmt's been a vandal for quite a while now. Noticed it way back when. --"ConservapediaUndergroundResistor^{feline fanatic} 20:13, 28 January 2009 (EST)

(edit conflict) Between yours, Phantom Hoover's, and my attempts, I'd say we have data to call it a definite trend : ) Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 20:15, 28 January 2009 (EST)

So what's the point? You can't be a vandal and a sysop or 'crat? Or does the vandal bin not work at all? If it doesn't, then action may be required on our part. --"ConservapediaUndergroundResistor^{feline fanatic} 20:22, 28 January 2009 (EST)

I think the vandal group is separate from the vandal bin. - User $\scriptstyle {\sqrt {12}}\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }(-3)^{-n}(2n+1)^{-1}$ 20:26, 28 January 2009 (EST)

I'm not sure it is. When you look at the user list, under group, all of FD's socks are in the vandal group. --"ConservapediaUndergroundResistor^{feline fanatic} 20:30, 28 January 2009 (EST)

That's just because of double handling. Take "A long way to Tipperary" as an example. He was put in the Vandal group (as a user rights change) by TheoryOfPractice on 7th Jan. In fact the vandal bin records show he'd already been binned on 4th Jan. If the vandal group doesn't work & it's just causing confusion & double handling, we should probably get it removed from the user rights screen. Wëäŝëïöïď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 21:11, 28 January 2009 (EST)

There's a good chance that the 'cratable "vandal" group predates the bin, and was created as a joke. Considering the possible confusion it creates, I suppose someone should whine to Trent if we can't remove it ourselves. ħuman 21:55, 28 January 2009 (EST)

I suspect the 'crat group was Trent's original idea but like the hide/show of edits decided that in the interest of fairness it should be available to all sysops rather than just 'crates. - User $\scriptstyle {\sqrt {12}}\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }(-3)^{-n}(2n+1)^{-1}$ 21:57, 28 January 2009 (EST)

It's also sort of useless if sysops can't use it... ħuman 22:00, 28 January 2009 (EST)

You would need a 'crat on nearly around the clock to implement the change group system, where as I don't think more than 10 or 15 minutes would pass without one of our legion of sysops being on. - User $\scriptstyle {\sqrt {12}}\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }(-3)^{-n}(2n+1)^{-1}$ 22:02, 28 January 2009 (EST)

Can I also be part of the banana slug group? --"ConservapediaUndergroundResistor^{feline fanatic} 18:20, 29 January 2009 (EST)

Much botter better.  ^(Toast) _{and marmalade} 22:11, 30 January 2009 (EST)

Damned if you do, damned if you don't! Actually, I think the only user I ever put on "patrol every fucking edit" was Proxima, because no matter how good her edits were, the writing itself was usually awful, and it embarrasses me, for some unknown reason, to see poor writing on this site. Anyway, I don't have "hide bots" turned on on my watchlist. If RA does a hundred edits as a bot, I can always look at one or two our of curiosity, and "hide" bot edits to see the recent history without them. Ironically, of course, this round of edits resulted from a discussion Jacob and I had regarding subcats to politics... well, at least the one I checked ;) 00:05, 31 January 2009 (EST)

Vandal

I note you were one of several who dealt with THC LOADEE. Fortunately there was more than one of you. On Dec 10th last year I dealt with a vandal attack single handed. That’s a thankless task. If you get it right the chances are no one notices. If you block the wrong person under pressure or seem to block the wrong person under pressure you’re accused of sysop abuse. If you ever find yourself the lone defender against a persistent vandal look for other active sysops in recent changes and ask them in their talk pages to help.

User:THC LOADE has just turned up. For the reason given above I’m not dealing with this single handed. Proxima Centauri 14:05, 2 February 2009 (EST)

Thanks

For getting the Community Standards revamp started & all the work you did on various drafts of it. I tried to send an intercom message earlier in response to yours, but instead I accidentally broke the site for a while. Anyway, I've now linked to all the various revamp pages at the top of RationalWiki talk: Community Standards, and marked them as archived discussions. Any more discussions about changes should be at the CS talk page rather than keeping any of those other ones going. Wëäŝëïöïď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 20:44, 3 February 2009 (EST)

*Purrrrrrrrrr* Oh, it was nothing : ) And I thank you, for putting so much effort into seeing the final product through. I truly enjoyed working with you. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 20:58, 3 February 2009 (EST)

I suspected the breakage had something to do with the intercom when I saw the message blanked. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 20:58, 3 February 2009 (EST)

Why are you purring? I thought I was the only one who purred around here. (please don't bring up the subject again, its a joke) --"ConservapediaUndergroundResistor^{feline fanatic} 21:30, 3 February 2009 (EST)

Many, many editors here purr. We just don't attribute "deeper meaning" to it. We purr. It means we're happy. ħuman 00:07, 4 February 2009 (EST)

Wow!

It's funny that constructive editing got me a sysopship here, while getting me banned...elsewhere. I'll try to live up to this. Czolgolz 10:40, 4 February 2009 (EST)

That's CP for ya. --"ConservapediaUndergroundResistor^{feline fanatic} 13:59, 4 February 2009 (EST)

No matter how many times I hear it, I am always struck by the contrast between our sysopping policies. Here's to hoping you live up to it ; ) Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 18:05, 4 February 2009 (EST)

I don't know of any other wiki that has a sysopping policy like ours. Works though. Totnesmartin 18:13, 8 February 2009 (EST)

Cascade protection

Is there a reason your userpage is cascade protected? -- Nx ^talk 07:37, 5 February 2009 (EST)

Yes: to keep vandals from fiddling with the personal templates displayed on it. It's more efficient than locking them individually. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 22:42, 5 February 2009 (EST)

Paranoid :) ħuman 23:32, 5 February 2009 (EST)

It also protects the public templates used on it (which is how I noticed it), and I thought we were against that sort of thing. -- Nx ^talk 18:02, 6 February 2009 (EST)

'sOK. Totnesmartin 18:11, 8 February 2009 (EST)

That's good to here. I dreaded having to FIGHT TO THE DEATH with you over it. : ) Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 18:12, 8 February 2009 (EST)

Fighting to the death is actually very bad for my stress levels. I've had to stop wiki-ing for weeks sometimes. It's the main reason I disappear from here, the other being computer problems. Totnesmartin 18:17, 8 February 2009 (EST)

Please stop it

Well, I was bored and no one was paying any attention to me. And it's not my fault you took so long to respond.

Now do something interesting. Mei 19:24, 9 February 2009 (EST)

*sniffs indignantly* I am always interesting. : ) Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 19:53, 9 February 2009 (EST)

Sing me a song. ^{— Unsigned, by: Mei / talk / contribs 20:20, 9 February 2009}

I don't sing. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 20:38, 9 February 2009 (EST)

Dance me a dance.

I can't sing, I can't dance. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 20:54, 9 February 2009 (EST)
