Adminship [edit]

Hello Billinghurst, looks like you didn't gave me sysopship on wikivoyage. Best regards. Gusta (talk) 14:08, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

I submitted it, though without chaning the right. <facepalm> Thanks for the prod. Fixed. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:24, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
<facepalm> Well, ok.. </facepalm> Thank you!. Gusta (talk) 14:32, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #54 [edit]

Wikidata-logo-en.svg
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Development
    • Dispatch lag is now down to 0 so changes should show up very quickly on the Wikipedias in watchlists and recent changes
    • wikidata.org now always redirects to www.wikidata.org. This should among other things solve the issue where people were not able to edit when on wikidata.org (bugzilla:45005)
    • Fixed weird blocked-user/protected-page handling in UI (bugzilla:45140)
    • Final meetings for the external professional review of our code and architecture. They were quite happy with the quality of the codebase and gave useful tips for improvements
    • Worked on automatic summaries for editing claims
    • Investigation of different JavaScript frameworks dealing with date and time
    • Worked on using Redis and the job queue for change notifications to clients
    • Work on the storage code for answering queries
  • Events/Press
    • GLAM-WIKI 2013
    • upcoming: office hour on IRC about sources
    • upcoming: Opensource Treffen
    • upcoming: intro to Wikidata at the British Library
  • Discussions
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Open Tasks for You

Hey [edit]

I don't know where to request the "right to vanish" thing. So I just picked you, a steward. I'm requesting to vanish completely from English Wikipedia. Is it possible that in English Wikipedia, Trongphu will appear as it is not a register name? All related pages to my user name shall be deleted. I would like to continue contribute in other projects except English Wikipedia, it is the only project where I want to vanish. I'm a great contributor of Vietnamese Wikipedia and Wiktionary for many years (currently I'm a sysop at Wiktionary). However, due to culture differences and misunderstanding and my bad temper which led to my permanently ban on English Wikipedia. I admitted my fault of using bad language but well apparently they don't have mercy on me after I have been banned for over a year already. My contribution in Vietnamese community speaks for my words. I hope you will fulfill my request. I really don't see any reasons how it can hurt anyone. Thanks!Trongphu (talk) 07:56, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, we cannot make any account vanish. It isn't my area of speciailty, so I am going to do is ask a steward with an English Wikipedia focus to address this better than I. What may be able to do is dissociate your enWP account, but I am not certain. — billinghurst sDrewth 08:09, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Give me a head up on my talk page on what solution you and the other steward come up to fulfill my request. Or I will check this page occasionally.Trongphu (talk) 08:38, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
I'm sorry, the current practice on enwiki is that only users in good standing can vanish. He would need to email arbcom at en:Special:EmailUser/Ban Appeals Subcommittee to get a vanish. MBisanz talk 12:13, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Success [edit]

I bet that tomorrow stats.grok.se will show a spike on 24 April. ;) PiRSquared17 (talk) 17:13, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Billinghurst! Thank you for the note. I answered there with my guess :) --Lucas (talk) 21:31, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

An unblock request review [edit]

Hi, PiRSquared asked me to (effect a) review the unblock request of User talk:23.29.123.114. Since you made both the local + global rangeblocks on it, could you be so kind? :) --MF-W 01:21, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Adminship [edit]

Hey, can you check Steward requests/Permissions. Last week, you said that we need wait a week for administrator permission. Thanks, Dekel E (talk) 09:57, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Invadibot [edit]

Hi, Billinghurst.

I've been noticed that you have blocked the bot for a week. The task "fixing links to Wikimedia projects and applying protocol-relative URLs" has been stopped, and I think the bot could be unblocked so it can continue fixing double redirects in this project (see its tasks scope).

There are many doubts about this topic, so I'm going to create a page in Invadibot's user space to define this task with more details. Unfortunately, I'm too busy, and I won't be able to finish it today (in any case, I will let you know when this happens).

Regards, and thank you very much for your help. --invadinado (TALK - SUL) 11:46, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I have released the block. With regard to task, I had previously left some notes against the bot request about the reasons why. The issue where it upset COIBot has been resolved, so that is no longer a concern. I am not certain why the bot is editing archive pages and would feel that any page headed with {{archive header}} should be left (personal opinion). — billinghurst sDrewth 12:07, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Re: SBHandler [edit]

I had it enabled in gadgets, but I forgot to use it. I did remember to add it to the log, but I guess I didn't realize you needed to write {{removed}} (etc.). In the future, I'll remember to use the gadget. PiRSquared17 (talk) 14:24, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

The only way to stop me is to globally block my IP range! I know how to change it whenever I want! HAHAHAHA!! >:D

Blah blah blah <zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz> Too hard to actually be useful? ... to do something positive with your life? Any idiot can be a vandal. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:29, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Request for your help in connection with a problem @ Hindi WP Embassy [edit]

Hello. I am writing to you on behalf of a Tamil Wikipedian who could not log into Hindi Wikipedia due to some technical glitch. I've suggested one or two solutions but that didn't transform into a workable solution. I request you to either directly help in solving this problem or please refer this to a person who can be of some help. Thanks in advance. Regards, Hindustanilanguage (talk) 10:24, 12 May 2013 (UTC).

Thank You Thank you! for your speedy intervention. Hindustanilanguage (talk) 13:21, 12 May 2013 (UTC).

IPBE through your rangeblock?? [edit]

en:User talk:Blackgaia02 has been caught in your rangeblock of IP 112.207.35.0/24. Although not entirely in good standing (currently on a "last chance" unblock after edit-warring) this is a long-serving user, and is unlikely to be the target of your rangeblock since that is aimed at a spambot. Do you have any objection if I give the user IPBE? JohnCD (talk) 08:09, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, ignore this, I have just read the note at the head of this page. I will ask at Steward requests/Global permissions. JohnCD (talk) 08:19, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Having read that page, it seems it is for global permissions, and being local this request would be referred back to en:wp admins, i.e. me. So I have gone ahead and granted IPBE. If that was the wrong thing to do, please let me know; otherwise, forget it, and apologies for bothering you. JohnCD (talk) 08:48, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Gday. Asking for comment is totally okay, I am more trying to have stewards' requests filed, seen and documented in that place, not tucked away in my archives. The block is definitely not aimed at your person, it is very specifically aimed at spambots, I found 20+ at two wikis. You have done exactly as we would have wanted. If there is improvements that we can make to our documentation, or suggestions that we can make to enWP's, that feedback would be fantastic. — billinghurst sDrewth 09:53, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the alert about spam on te.wikipedia. I have initiated a corrective action--Arjunaraoc (talk) 10:10, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
