Admin Coaching program
I have signed up for Admin Coaching, and would like to know if you would volunteer to coach me in hopes of working to become an administrator some day. Hopefully, with some good advice, I will be able to make the improvements necessary to allow it to happen. Thank you very much for your consideration. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 19:47, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sure, I guess so. We could create a page where we keep all of our discussions and such. jj137 ♠ 00:48, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sounds like a plan. I will create a page at User:No1lakersfan/Admin Coaching for our correspondence, and for whatever takes place in the coaching pricess. Again, I thank you for taking the time to do this. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 01:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
I have answered the questions you have asked to the best of my ability. I am hoping the answers I have provided will help you determine what kind of coaching I will need. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 03:50, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the offer. I was nominated by a friend of mine some time ago, but I did not pass, for various reasons. He is willing to do so again, but we can discuss this at the conclusion of the program. I am glad that my answers seem reasonable. I am sure that if they want to know more, they can ask other questions like they have done in other RfA requests.
- One other thought, how should I correspond with you? should I keep coming back here or is there something better that I can do? I see that your talk page has gotten quite busy, and I do not want my messages to get lost in the middle. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 02:12, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- I have found my watchlist very useful in tracking vandalism, and page changes that I should be aware of. Any subpage of my user page is watchlisted automatically, so it is already there, if you wish to communicate that way. Or, we can continue with talk pages. It doesn't really matter to me. I generally check the watchlist every time I come in, and every so often afterwards.--Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 02:21, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- If you think it would be easier to keep correspondence on my admin coaching page, I would be fine with that. I see where it would keep it in a central place, and easier to keep up with. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 02:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Anything that you feel is best kept amongst ourselves (relatively speaking), can be said on the talk pages. Other stuff related to admin coaching can be left on the page. I thin kthat is the best compromise. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 02:37, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Edit Summaries
Yes, it works great! It wasn't working before, but then I refreshed my browser, and it did, much quicker. Thanks! Also, we haven't really worked on Admin Coaching much lately, I plan on running at the end of this month, so what should we work on next in admin coaching? Ohmpandya (Talk) 20:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- That's great! My javascript isn't very great but I guess I can get by. :) We can if you want. I have another question someone will definitely ask you; I'll add it to the page. jj137 ♠ 01:06, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

More vandals

Please tell me which part of Wikipedia:Speedy keep justifies closing this nomination early. The man played three games twenty years ago. There is NOTHING, ZERO, ZILCH publicly available about him with which to write a biographical article. He wasn't a skill player so we don't even have statistics to talk about. This article can never be more than a stub. --B (talk) 02:50, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- WP:BIO has a section on athletes, stating: Competitors and coaches who have competed in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, golf or tennis. (are notable, that is). jj137 ♠ 02:54, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- That's an argument you are perfectly free to make in the discussion. It does not justify early closure. Wikipedia:Speedy keep gives four reasons for closing a discussion as a speedy keep. There are other issues with an article like this beyond WP:BIO, specifically, WP:NOTABILITY#General notability guideline. The subject has received no independent coverage beyond mere mention of his existence in an exhaustive list of players, or, at least, not any that is demonstrable. If a non-stub can never be written, there is no reason to keep it around. If an article existed on the 1987 Washington Redskins (which it probably should - they won the superbowl that year), I'd just redirect it there, but that's not a possibility. --B (talk) 03:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- OK, my mistake on the "speedy keep" part, but there's no reason the article should be deleted if it meets guidelines. I personally don't think it matters if it won't easily get past stub-class. jj137 ♠ 03:03, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Again, all of that is something you are free to discuss in the discussion, but not a cause for cutting off discussion. Except for a bad faith nomination, nomination by a banned user, etc, there is no cause for cutting it off TWO HOURS after it was opened. Heck, an admin was desysopped for doing that with the Daniel Brandt DRV. Being an admin isn't a blank check to declare your !vote to be more important than everyone else's !vote. --B (talk) 03:07, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Self-reverting is always an option - you can just revert your edit to close it and replace the AFD message. Thank you. --B (talk) 03:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

New England Patriots
Have you ever considered joining Patriots Wikiproject? I really could use some help. Few other people have contributed. Ohmpandya (Talk) 23:41, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, I have barely been online in the past 24 hours or so and haven't had time to reply to your messages. I still need to go through and get rid of all the actions you requested; and sure, I'll join the Patriots project. I'm more of a Bengals fan, but I'll help out anywhere sports related. jj137 ♠ 01:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks! Really could use some help. If you go here[4]
and help me out by adding the Roster and the Draft Picks too all the seasons, (or we can work on that together) I will add all the game by game results. And, I thought you would be a pats fan since well your a Red Sox fan. I see you are into Chad Johnson (I'm guessing, is your favorite player on the Bengals?) They did pretty bad this year. :( Ohmpandya (Talk) 01:30, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thats not always fun is it. :( Well the Pats will be facing the Jaguars, since San Diego beat Tennessee (NO000!!!!!) :(.... The Titans would have been destroyed (probably no chance at all), but with Garrard the Jaguars have a bigger chance than the Titans would have had. All in all its going to be a good game. Ohmpandya (Talk) 01:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- And then the Reds are pretty bad too :(. Weren't they under 500 last year? Just when people in New England (Like me) thought that there sports teams couldn't get better, the Celtics start of 29-4. Who expected that? The Cavs are that bad. With James ! - one of my favorites. Ohmpandya (Talk) 02:01, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Well it comes with Twinkle, so... and no I have never tried it. I really have only found 1 case of Vandalism. Ohmpandya (Talk) 02:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
I put a request. I will try "recent changes". I have come to many blanked pages by I.P's but I just warned them (using twinkle). How exactly will this work? Ohmpandya (Talk) 02:17, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
I didn't? -.- whoops! Ohmpandya (Talk) 02:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- aah I think I got everything now:)! SORRY! Ohmpandya (Talk) 02:29, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Rollback request
Hi. You are on the list of admins prepared to grant rollback requests, hence this message. I am in Indonesia and am a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Indonesia. Many of the pages I watch and have edited are frequent targets of vandalism from people within the same timezone and I spend quite a lot of time reverting such attacks. I keep my watchlist open while I am at work, and it would be very useful if I were able to use rollback to revert vandalism more rapidly than the other group members in Europe or Australia. I therefore would like to request that I be granted this facility so I can revert vandalism more rapidly to ensure that Wikipedia remains a credible source of information. Regards Davidelit (talk) 19:36, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- There you go, you now have rollback. jj137 ♠ 20:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello
I have signed up for Admin Coaching, and would like to know if you specifically would volunteer to coach me to become a great administrator some day. I have you on my watch list since the Jonah House incident and have watched your progress with great interest. You seem like a good mentor for me.
Thank you for your consideration,
rkmlai (talk) 19:56, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sure, I'd like to. If it sounds good I'll reply back with specifics. jj137 ♠ 20:38, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
An Arbitration case in which you commented has been opened, and is located here.

Rollback
Now that I have it, how do I use it? --HPJoker Leave me a message 00:09, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- If you click on a diff, history, etc. you will see a rollback button. If you click on it it will automatically revert all of the edits by the last person to the edits by the person before that. Really helpful when reverting vandalism, although that is the only time it should be used. jj137 ♠ 00:13, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- If you won't mind helping me test something, could you make some junk edits here? --HPJoker Leave me a message 00:15, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- Lol. Nice. It worked. Thanx! What do the green + and red - mean in recent changes? --HPJoker Leave me a message 00:18, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow! Good job. Thanx a lot. --HPJoker Leave me a message 00:32, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

- Oh! I know him. I wonder if he found me because of the project or my constant messaging on your user page. --HPJoker Leave me a message 00:37, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- Does this mean we'll be writing more articles? --HPJoker Leave me a message 00:40, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- By the way, when the actual season starts, I'll be posting a box score, etc. On my user page. --HPJoker Leave me a message 00:43, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- Writing articles on the Red Sox? Sure, I have barely contributed much, is there anything special you want me to write about? Ohmpandya (Talk) 00:42, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- Please take a look here and see what you think. This is an article which I merged 1966 Boston Red Sox season and The Impossible Dream (1967). If it looks good, tell me and I will replace the article. Ohmpandya (Talk) 01:10, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
2 things:
I just recieved a news update (email)
- The Red Sox reached a deal with Mirabelli[5]
Thought you should consider putting this on the newsletter?
Also, on the "To-do list" you guys wanted a picture of Bobby Doerr. I have a baseball card of his (got to hunt it down:)) but I'm pretty sure I do. It's "legal" to take a snap of that right? Ohmpandya (Talk) 01:25, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

...And I'm not sure if you heard this Buddy LeRoux died at seventy something. He used to own the red sox? I think. Ohmpandya (Talk) 01:30, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Oh there is no article on him... should we make one? Ohmpandya (Talk) 01:31, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Please go ahead and delete The Impossible Dream (1967), and put a redirect on that page to 1967 Boston Red Sox season, (I merged the articles). Ohmpandya (Talk) 01:37, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! Also, I uploaded the image from my camera edited it with Picasa, and it looks pretty good. Please remove things that I have completed from the "To-dO" list. :) Thanks! Ohmpandya (Talk) 01:42, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- Added something to the Newsletter. Ohmpandya (Talk) 01:55, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! Also, there is an article about Buddy LeRoux, I just redirected the page. I will go add internal link of him to the Newsletter now. Ohmpandya (Talk) 01:58, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- Wrote something else in the Newsletter. Ohmpandya (Talk) 02:16, 12 January 2008 (UTC) Also, I uploaded two images of Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo. (Look at the articles) How would I make the images bigger? Ohmpandya (Talk) 02:38, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

- I would like to create a wikiproject. Can you help me out? Ohmpandya (Talk) 03:12, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Can you make templates (similar to your wiki project red sox)? Ohmpandya (Talk) 03:30, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

- Looks good. Ohmpandya (Talk) 03:43, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- What exactly do I do for "Members" Also, will you make templates such as: userboxes, invite teplates etc? Those would be helpful. Ohmpandya (Talk) 03:47, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
I meant what do you mean by the note: 'Note: For the second option to work correctly, you will need to add cats to the templates. Thanks! Ohmpandya (Talk) 03:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Request for semi-protection for Emmett Chappelle
I was manually monitering the recent changes and I came across this page. After reverting the vandalism I saw there, I noticed there was quite a bit of unremoved vandalism on the page and I proceeded to remove that as well. While I was doing this, the page got vandalized twice!! Anyway, I think this (and a quick peek at the page's history) would be enough to call for a semi-protection even though this person is not very well known. Thanks for the help. Thingg (talk) 05:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- I semi-protected it for two days. jj137 ♠ 12:34, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Continental drift protection?
I'm not sure if this page needs protection, but I noticed while monitering recent changes that the vast majority of the edits in the last few months have been vandalism/reverts. Again, I'm not sure if a semi-protection would help, but I thought I'd ask for your opinion. Thingg (talk) 15:55, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- I semi-protected it for three weeks. jj137 ♠ 03:34, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Adminship
How long did it take you to become an admin? --HPJoker Leave me a message 19:18, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- About the draft thing, no problem. About the admin thing, well, I've been actively editing since late May, so I became an admin about 7 months later. jj137 ♠ 03:32, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

User:Infinitemag seems to be mainly advertising on his user space. That breaking any rules? --HPJoker Leave me a message 23:41, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
When you get the chance please block this guy. He/She vandalized my talk page and wrote "stuff" :) - you know what that means - in the sandbox. He/She already had three previous warnings. Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 00:13, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Also, for your problem, please see this[8] when you get the chance. I believe it may help you. I think I finished my WikiProject by the way. Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 00:15, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- Ok you should definitely go ahead an block this guy. I put {{username}} but obviously I can't block him. Go ahead and do this please. Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 00:34, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- If you addd {{WikiProject BC-Member}} t your userpage it should work. Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 03:32, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Did you block the two guys? Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 03:44, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Can you block the guys I mentioned above? Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 03:47, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
The game is just about done.. :)Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 03:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Oh, also, the guy is never going to run out of I.P's. There is a very easy way to change yours. Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 15:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
It's not very hard, takes 10 mins. I don't know what else you can do if he continues. All I know is nothing is going to stay permanent except for one thing: the count on your userpage will keep going up. Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 17:28, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- For that? Wow, and he bothers you because of that, thats pretty funny. I'm sure he will get bored eventually. :)Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 17:34, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Yep. Go ahead and delete TPC of Tampa Bay, its blank, I put a blank tag on it. Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 17:37, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Wikiproject Boston Celtics
Ok, so we definitely need more people for WP:Celtics, you know anyone willing to help out? Also, {well I don' want to do this now since there is just two people on the list of members :(}. How would I start a newsletter that would deliever it to everyone automatically, with a bot? Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 17:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- Well, JJBot was just approved yesterday, but that was only for WP:SOX newsletter. If I wanted it to do the same thing for your WikiProject, I could just open another RFBA and then if it was approved it could deliver for that project too. Optionally, there are some other delivery bots such as User:BrownBot and User:DeliveryBot which will, I think, deliver for any project. Whichever works best; the reason I chose to use my own bot for the WP:SOX delivery instead of some other bot was because then I could customize the requests myself, etc. as well as the fact I'm more familiar with that newsletter than some other random person. So if you would like me to open another RFBA at some point for delivery of your project, I'd be willing. jj137 ♠ 17:47, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Abortion in Hungary, no worldwide view, and well... yeah... the article is a whopping one sentence long! Can you help me to start a newsletter? Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 17:49, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, that was like the first word that came into my head. Like if you click on it, it does not have to link anywhere special. Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 01:19, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
No, it looks great! I'll keep it!! Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 01:37, 14 January 2008 (UTC) Ohh, never saw that :( It's ok. I'll still keep it! Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 01:40, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok I'm not sure you should block this guy or not, but his username is inappropriate. But he has made close to 6000 edits. Why did no one notice this? Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 03:35, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Ok done[10]. I'm home all day, like 1 feet of snow outside, and its still falling hard. Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 14:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

S/he's baa-aaaack! (Dodge Dart)
Hi, Jj137. Remember the unregistered editor who was making a mess of Dodge Lancer and Plymouth Valiant? Well, it's taken longer than I expected, but sure enough, as I predicted, s/he's now making exactly the same kind of mess in Dodge Dart. Guideline-compliant images replaced with this editor's pet (and really bad, and noncompliant, and grabbed off the web) images, numerous sequential one-word and one-sentence edits (and some much more substantial disruptions including addition of unencyclopædic material) made in an apparent effort to thwart cleanup, etc. See here...no fewer than seventeen sequential edits of this type. I'm not perfectly clear on the protocol...do I need to go request indefinite semi-protection as has been applied to the other two car articles, or can an administrator such as yourself just swoop in and do it? Thanks! --Scheinwerfermann (talk) 03:22, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- The only non-disruptive edits by Semi Gloss are this one and this one. --Scheinwerfermann (talk) 04:02, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Additional abusive behaviour from Semi Gloss — at this point I am reasonably certain Semi Gloss is our mystery 69.2xx.xxx.xxx nonrego editor. --Scheinwerfermann (talk) 19:07, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- I agree with you. A sock puppetry accusation would be premature, and while it seems likely the "two" contributors are likely the same character, I'm definitely not certain of it. I think probably the best course of action is indefinite semiprotection of Dodge Dart. That way, the nonrego editor cannot contribute. At that point, whether Semi Gloss is in fact 69.2xx.xxx.xxx is not very important, for if s/he continues to be disruptive or otherwise problematic, s/he is subject to censure and behavioural corrections that cannot practically be enforced against IP-only contributors. If after the article is semiprotected we start seeing a pattern definitely indicative of sock puppetry (Semi Gloss gets blocked, and immediately the same kind of edit shows up from another newly-registered user) then that would be an appropriate time to pursue that, as it seems. Thanks! --Scheinwerfermann (talk) 02:39, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- Update: It looks like the semiprotection on Plymouth Valiant expired, and 69.2xx.xxx.xxx immediately pounced on the opportunity to start making the same kinds of disruptive edits that caused the article to be semiprotected. --Scheinwerfermann (talk) 17:55, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! Let's hope s/he gets the message. --Scheinwerfermann (talk) 21:12, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- I don't share your confidence. I think we're dealing with someone exhibiting the signs of Asperger's Syndrome...s/he seems to have a narrow interest in only these particular cars (Dodge Dart/Lancer, Plymouth Valiant/Barracuda). But we'll see! --Scheinwerfermann (talk) 00:07, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Captain Trips
You closed the deletion debate on the article Captain Trips, but haven't as yet removed the afd notice from the page or added {{oldafdfull}} to the talk page. Do you need a hand? Hiding T 11:01, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- I've gone ahead and removed the afd template and added oldafdfull to the talk page, hope that's okay. Hiding T 11:03, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- That was just a mistake. Thanks for removing it and placing the {{oldafdfull}}, though. :) jj137 ♠ 20:20, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Yea, I saw him do it twice today. Doesn't he ever get bored? Also, can you approve me for Vandalproof? Also, my RFA is doing worse than last time: how is this possible? Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 20:29, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Ok. If it doesn't succeed (99.99%) [ ...the .1% can always act up :) ] I will probably run again in March. And there is no way I will run before that. Or rather, if you plan to nominate me, don't do it till the 1st of March. Does that seem like a good date?, I will keep a goal of 12000 edits... Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 20:36, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

- Alright, I'm writing a large article right noe, and its taking a while. So, can we do this a little later? Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 23:38, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Two things: One is good :) one is bad :(. Ok...uh...the bad thing first. I must have wrote 20 pages on this thing (hand written) of research. Then I find out the article has already been created., under a different name. However, the article is pretty short, no thats an understatement, extremely short compared to mine. Can the article be deleted, and replaced with mine (if you think it's good)? Don't want to merge them. Now, for the good thing: Let's go to the admin thing you were talking about.

RfA thanks
...for your support in my recently closed Request for Adminship. I am more than a bit stunned by the outcome, which appears to have finished at 146 supports, no opposes, and one abstention. I am particularly grateful to Keilana and Kingboyk for their recent encouragement, and most specifically to Pastordavid, for having seen fit to nominate me. I also want to make it very clear to everyone that I have no intentions of changing my name again, so the servers should be safe for a while.
In the event you ever believe that I would ever able to assist in the future, I would be honored if you were to contact me regarding the matter. I can't guarantee results, unfortunately, but I will do what I can. Thank you again.
By the way, I know the image isn't necessarily appropriate, but I am rather fond of it, and it at least reflects the degree of honor I feel at the result. And it's hard to go wrong with a Picture of the Year candidate.
Now, off to a few last tasks before starting work in earnest on the various templates I promised I'd work on.

Ok. Is there anyway you can create a timeline on wikipedia? It shows the events in chronological order? Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 00:04, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, tough it is. I'm not sure if I want to make it. But know I know for the reference! Next question: When people say this article is not notable, what exactly do they mean by that. Question after that: Is there a program like Twinkle that covers every single category for speedy deletion (does Twinkle do this?) Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 00:14, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

- How can you find out the I.P. address of a username?
- Where is the list that shows all accounts recently created? (I know there is one...Where?)

- Yes, I saw that. Weird, yeah. I'm going to go ahead and add last change. Having both of them link to My userpage to the sign section. I'm going to also remove the "no" so it looks real. :) Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 23:54, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
