[edit] Unanimous
I understand there was an editprotect to change "unanimous" to "unopposed"...seeing that there was NO consus reached, how is it uncontroversial that you completely removed the word? If I put an editprotect to change (example) Russian entry completely and everyone opposes to a different change (possibly of wording) this does not constitute a "uncontroversial edit" to completely wipe out the Russian entry because neither option A or B reached a consensus. What do you think? --Kosova2008 (talk) 20:42, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- This page is not the place to debate the merits or demerits of the edit. If you can establish a consensus for your opinion above on the talk page of the article, then I or any other admin will revert the change or alter the wording further. Until then, the page will remain (perpetually) in the Wrong Version. If you feel that my edit constitutes an abuse of administrative tools, then you need to post at WP:ANI. However, there is no point in having a discussion on this page, as it merely constitutes a fork of the debate. Happy‑melon 12:46, 7 June 2008 (UTC) You might recognise this wording from above. It applies just as much to any editprotected request.
[edit] Wikipedia talk:Flagged revisions
Thanks for your comments in regards to my suggestion. I'm still trying to get to grips with the process and all it's possibilities so I'm sorry if the idea wasn't very well thought out. No offence was intended and I apologise if my lack of technical knowledge came off as undermining your work and expertise. Regards, Guest9999 (talk) 15:44, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hehe don't worry, I've got sod all to do with FlaggedRevisions (my response to your thread was my first comment on that page), and we're all trying to get our heads around what the extension can and can't do. Happy‑melon 17:05, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Template:Db-u1
Nice work there. : - ) I guess it showed that I was tired / lazy when I wrote that code. Took like six edits to get it working properly and it was rather hackish. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 19:19, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! Happy‑melon 19:20, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Recent deletion debate
It is unclear to me if this debate includes only the German national team template or also the other templates mentioned in the debate (Greece 86, Germany 2006 etc). If so, should the tfdend template be added to all the others?--ArnoldPettybone (talk) 19:47, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- Gulp! I'd completely forgotten about the {{tfdend}} template! And have done so on every TfD I've closed tonight :S. But yes, the closure applies to all the templates listed. I'm not sure how best to do it, but we desperately need an objective, cast-iron community decision about what teams do and what teams don't merit templates like these, because it's getting quite ridiculous.

[edit] Thanks, however
Hi, thank you for fulfilling the {{editprotected}} request I made. However you accidentally removed the later addition of useful edits, specifically these edits, which I think are not contested. If you could re-add that, it would be great. Sorry for the hassle. 1 != 2 16:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Done, I hope. Happy‑melon 16:30, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Opinion on partial Solar Energy copyedit
Hey - I was wondering if you'd give me some input on the copyedit I'm working on for Solar Energy. I've got almost two thirds of the way through, but I'm unsure whether I'm being too aggressive or not aggressive enough with regard to things like removing what I consider to be extraneous content. I'm using my userspace to edit things for now, since I don't want to leave the active copyedit tag on the actual article for more than an hour or two. Here are my changes: [1] There seem to be a lot of US-centric statistics in the article, some of which I've cropped, and I've removed and/or copied a few of the examples of technologies to subarticles. Any suggestions welcome! Adacore (talk) 14:03, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- Generally looks very good! I do hate it when America takes over articles like this which have no obvious ties to the US, so I applaud you for removing some of the more egregiously unnecessary US examples. However, I'm not sure I would go so far as to remove every example from the US (I don't know if you've done so, only having looked at your diffs, not the full text); if the installation is an extraordinary or relevant example, it deserves to be included no matter where in the world (or history) it's located. On a purely personal level, I think that the note about Tiberius' cucumbers is excellently light-hearted (humorous while at the same time being both relevant and verifiable) and probably deserves to be reinstated. On a trivial note, you left a bit of 'scaffholding' at line 205, which I'm sure you'd have remembered to remove anyway, but just in case :D. Other than that, it looks like a very good job! Happy‑melon 16:22, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- The only problem I had with Tiberius' cucumbers was that the method used didn't really sound like a greenhouse when I scanned the greenhouse article (it's described in more detail there), however rereading it I think I was mistaken, so will reinstate the reference as I agree it's interesting and light-hearted, which is always welcome in an article, especially one as long as this. Thanks for the feedback. Adacore (talk) 16:49, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Banner standardisation
I added an in-development PHP script that should effectively go through the WikiProject Banners and deal with them appropriately. Right now, the script has been written to the point where it moves any banners that can be moved. Unfortunately, I cannot write a script for deletion, as I am not an admin and do not know what POST fields to use for a deletion HTTP request. I put the script on Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Banner standardisation/Code. If you have any suggestions for the code (such as replacing deletion with just tagging for deletion, which I might add), please tell me on my talk page. — Parent5446 ☯ (message email) 21:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:User access levels
I saw your name on the talk page for Wikipedia:User access levels. I'm not sure if you monitor the page Wikipedia:User access levels, but, FYI, I edited Autoconfirmed users as explained at Edits to Autoconfirmed users. Just posting in case you wanted to review my change. Thank you. JohnABerring27A (talk) 22:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
