Nominations for speedy deletion

Could you please be so kind as to stop posting repeatedly your nominations for speedy deletion on page Portuguese language issues and it's talk page and talk subpage?

Your ill informed behavior is hindering proper procedure that clearly states that "If you object, remove the template and discuss on the talk page." The "you" on that sentence refers to another user besides you and, as far as I can tell, includes me.

You are also posting your nominations on the talk page where the above discussion is supposed to occur.

If you require any guidance for your edits, please contact someone in the community that is willing to help you.

Sincerely,

Virgilio A. P. Machado

Congratulations, Dear Administrator!

Deutsch | English | Español | Français | Italiano | Nederlands | Português | Русский | edit

An offering for our new administrator from your comrades... (our budget is smaller than Commons)

Ruy Pugliesi, congratulations! You now have the rights of administrator on Meta. Please take a moment to read the Meta:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat, and Meta:Requests for deletion, but also Talk:Spam blacklist and Talk:Interwiki map), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings, or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care.

A tip: add this page Meta:Administrators' discussion index to your watchlist, it tracks the latest activity to various sections of many of the important pages.

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-admin @ irc.freenode.net. You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading although it doesn't always completely apply here at Meta.

Please also check or add your entry to Meta:Administrators#List of administrators and the Template:List of administrators.

Tiptoety ^talk 23:19, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Simply love that candy!! Thank you. Be sure I will take the points raised in the opposition into account when performing my administrative actions and I won't do any massive changes without consulting community members first, even if I find them uncontroversial.

re-categorisation per http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=2810756

Hello Ruy Pugliesi. First of all, thanks for this categorisation work, as I guess it was well-meant.

But it was not done in the respect of the rules. Here is what you should have done [1]. The status "flood" is not done for doing a bot work with a sysop status, not at all. It's there to perform sysop operations, or stewards operations, without flooding. It's there to perform operations a bot cannot perform.

Moreover, I find that what you've done last night is before everything a lack of respect for Beria. Did you only try to speak to her ? She probably spent a lot of time to write a script to do this work, waiting that the bot flag will be granted to her.

One more time, you've not followed the rules. Please consider this is the last time I warn you about an affair with Beria here. If there is a ptwiki conflict, please keep it at ptwiki. We have enough work on meta to play these games there.

I hope that the next message I will wrote there will be more amicably.

Thanks for your comprehension -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 09:40, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

First, I wasn't aware of this request for bot status made by Beria. Moreover, I didn't even know she was about to recat those pages neither she had written a specific script for that. My sincere apologies to her.

I can't find here one example why you said my work was not done in the respect of the rules. See: "Meta-Wiki's administrators may temporarily give themselves a "flood flag" when doing repetitive, non-controversial edits or actions to avoid flooding Special:RecentChanges and related pages." - those repetitive changes have been previously discussed and there was a clear consensus they were non-controversial, right? Examples of misuse, according to the policy: "Unacceptable uses include attempting to circumvent legitimate oversight of any controversial action, regardless of whether it is an administrator task or not." I'd be glad if you pointed out where is the disrespect of the rules and, once it is clear to me, be sure I'll never do the same again. You said flood flag is to perform operations a bot cannot perform. Right. However, a bot couldn't perform the changes I did, once almost all the pages are fully protected. :)

BTW, what do you mean by "One more time, you've not followed the rules." Could you tell me when I didn't follow any rule before? :)

I agree with you we'd better to forget the incident. After all, as you said, we have a lot of work on meta to be done.

Best regards, Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 16:34, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

That's simply common sense. But I thought you were aware of Beria's botflag request, because she said her bot will do the work on Meta:Proposed_page_moves#Category:Steward_requests_archive. If you was really not knowing she was handling it, that's a bit different. But now Beria is no more angry, so the problem is resolved. Just be sure that nobody is already doing the work next time, it will prevent somebody to have worked hard for nothing.

Have a good night, Ruy. -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 20:10, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Quentinv57,

The user Hazard-SJ started the re-categorisation manually yesterday. After, he used one unapproved bot account to continue, and then got blocked by Wikitanvir.

I was on #wikimedia-stewards channel and I told Tanvir: "I'm going to recat those pages". He recommended me not to forget enabling the flood flag and then I finished the re-categorisation.

As I already told you above, I was not aware of Beria's request for bot status regarding this re-categorisation, because I'm not used to watch requests for bot permissions and she haven't mentioned her intentions here.

Furthermore, a bot couldn't perform the changes I did, once almost all the pages are fully protected. :) As far as I know, the flood flag can be used for massive re-categorisation, which is not forbidden by policy and I'm used to see a lot of people going to flood this way. If it was forbidden, Tanvir would have probably warned me on irc, when I told him I was planning to recat those pages, don't you think? ;)

Be sure I will pay much morre attention on those requests and I'll check that nobody is already doing the work next time.

Have a nice Sunday, Quentinv57. :)

Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 03:51, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I understand you, and I accord you that you've not broken any rule. But now everything is okay with Beria, and as both of us are well-minded we can continue to contribute on the project. By the way, have you seen what Beria will do now with her bot ? If not, you're free to give your opinion ;) -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 15:06, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Yes. Now I am aware of Beria's proposal. I just gave my opinion there.

Sorry for any incovenience my lack of attention on her other request caused before.

Best regards, Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 15:53, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Autopatroller

While flattered, I do not think I should be given autopatroller priviledges here, and would like to have that flag removed. A vandal (here and on my home wiki) has been attempting to access administrative accounts; better safe than sorry. Almafeta 08:40, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello Ruy, being the creator of the template {{Offtopic-edits}}, could you please take a look and see if you consider this change an improvement or not? What are your ideas? Thanks in advance, Mathonius 00:35, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Mathonius. For sure what you did on {{Offtopic-edits}} is a great improvement. Thanks for your effort. Best, Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 00:43, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

Hi Emperyan, just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatroll right to your account, as you are a trustworthy user. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Meta:Autopatrollers. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 18:58, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

• Thank you! However, I am usually working on translations in Turkish and Azerbaijani. Emperyan-message/ileti 19:17, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Admin stuff

I saw that you were around from recent changes. Kim Bruning made it clear that he is very against the filter. He is editing out arguments for the filter (aka arguments against the Wikisource proposal) based on what he thinks is or isn't true instead of trying to adequately represent the arguments made. He refuses to discuss it, makes very strange claims (accusing me of being a troll), and other things that are not civil or lead to a civil discussion.

It is obvious that he doesn't want any view point but his own. This like this removal is odd because librarians do not put pornography on display in any library I've been to, and as someone who has spent 7 years in graduate studies on multiple degrees and worked in many institutions, I have never seen pornography integrated in with other material let alone on display. He also admitted to being this IP that removed large sections of valid arguments without any legitimate reason.

This is really frustrating. Ottava Rima (talk) 03:12, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Ottava. I'm about to log out. However, it seems that Ajr is taking care of the situation already. I'll be back tomorrow and will take a look on it more criteriously. Have a nice weekend. Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 03:27, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

This makes it seem like he has a right to remove it without discussion and clearly doing so because he disagrees with a view (in a section for arguments that are supposed to adequately represent those of the other side). Can you warn him to stop? Ottava Rima (talk) 03:32, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Better luck next time

Keep up the good work and hopefully things will go better the next time around. :) Ottava Rima (talk) 16:36, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Ottava! Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 17:39, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
