Welcome

[edit]

A warm welcome to the English Wikipedia, dear Hexer! If you have questions, please don't ask on my talk page, because I'm not active here. Just ask one of these people. Most of them are happy to help (but only if nobody stole their passwords, of course). :o) We (I don't mean myself very much but rather the community of the English Wikipedia) look forward to your contributions! Have fun! --Thogo (Talk) 22:07, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sceptre would like to nominate you for adminship!

[edit]
No hurry, of course :) Will (talk) 22:18, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, okay. It's possible to start the RfA on July 14, before 2 o'clock pm UTC? It would be wunderful 'cause then I'll have vacations. :) Maybe you add some links, e. g. [1] [2], [3] or [4]. I could do this, too, replying to the three "questions for the candidate". Greetings and thanks for your confidence, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:51, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ey! Marcus Cyron 14:34, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sry, werde hier regelrecht belagert von vorschlagenden Benutzern. :| Wenn hier alle, die wöllten, und die, die ich dazu noch gern hätte, die Laudatio schrieben, hätten wir so sechs bis acht Personen. Aber freute mich natürlich über deine Stimme. :) Grüße, —DerHexer (Talk) 14:42, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've co-nominated you. Клоун 15:00, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Id would have been better to ask me first so that I can't hardly deny it now. ;) … I hope that not any more co-nominators will appear here. Thanks for your confidence! :) Greetings, —DerHexer (Talk) 15:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it's better if someone else will nominate you here - because here I'm not a "Star" *g*. Nearly nobody knows me and if I nominate you with my horrible english, they maybe laugh but dont give you the voice. So we will wait a longer time until I can nominate someone for adminship here afte at de:WP ;) (for the others: DerHexer is already Administrator e at the german-language-Wikipedia and I had nominate him there for the election). The interesting thing is - Hexer is

  1. Student
  2. Wikipedia-Author ("Portal:Latein"/"Portal:Latin")
  3. Admin who works a lot at the RC at the de:WP
  4. and here at the RC.

He's a true Wikinator ;). Marcus Cyron 22:00, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Vandalism"

[edit]

It's nice to know editors such as yourself are so good at checking the talk page of the articles they revert before jumping to the immediate conclusion of vandalism... NOT! I hope other editors are better than you at interacting with other users 121.218.198.145 10:25, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's vandalism to remove a lot of sourced content, to remove the Wiki syntax and so on. If you want to change something, feel free to do so but don't botch one's work. Thanks, —DerHexer (Talk) 10:29, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I don't see how it was vandalism, what the first person put was pure lies about the character, I was simply deleting what was un-true. Maybe you should look into it yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.65.66.194 (talk) 21:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Super Mario RPG lists

[edit]

Currently, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars has two lists pertaining to it (List of characters in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and List of locations in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars). User:TTN decided it would be best to merge the lists into the main article and split Smithy Gang into those articles. I recently merged Smithy Gang into the list of chatacters by removing the non-notable characters, and I have asserted that a cameo section in the list of characters is valid, per Wikipedia:Trivia sections and Wikipedia:Handling trivia that uses Alex Trebek#Cameos as a good example. I have suggested that we rename the articles per Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting potentially controversial moves to something along the lines of Characters of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and World of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars or Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) just like Characters of Final Fantasy VIII and World of Final Fantasy VI or Gaia (Final Fantasy VII). I believe if these articles are to evolve beyond a non-notable list, they should be renamed. For example, List of Final Fantasy VII locations was merged into Gaia (Final Fantasy VII), because a World article is notable, but a simple list of locations is not. That is why there are other secions of the article to make it a World article. It simply has not been renamed yet.

TTN believes the citations in the development and reception sections of the list of locations, books and magazines, are trivial sources. When I added that the 3D perspective of the game is reminicent of Equinox to the main article, TTN removed it since my souce was "the opinions of the Nintendo Power player's guide writers". Although it was actually Nintendo Power magazine, I do believe a magazine is a reliable source, and I gave a page from Next Generation Magazine which also said the same thing. In addition, I was surprized that TTN said that it was from the players guide, since he claims to own the players guide for the game. He has not verified this, since I asked him for citations in May, "Could you look in the back of the Player's Guide and tell me what “types” of … Magic? I forgot what they call it in the game … well, anyways, what types of Special Attack or whatever it is (actually, could you find out what it's called?) there are? I remember some vaguely when I owned the guide like “Fire”, “Jump”, “Electricity?”, etc. Could you provide a citation, like the page number with a quote in context?" TTN replied that he was going to "get to it" (User talk:TTN/Archive 5#List of locations in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars). TTN claims the player's guide is "at the bottom of a box that's behind at least five others in a cramped space". Seeing that TTN did not recognize that the page was not from the player's guide when I provided a scan of the page in question from Nintendo Power shocked me. However, I have continued to assume good faith by not questioning TTN's honesty.

Per Wikipedia:Consensus#Consensus can change, I have offered five different reasonable, temporary compromises that might integrate my idea with TTN's.

  1. Go over the list of characters so we can delete non–notable characters
  2. Rename the articles by following the steps at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting potentially controversial moves.
  3. Cut down the geography section list of locations by cutting it into the regional maps the adventures use when traveling from one to another. I can get pictures and write the fair use rationals, and someone can cut down the text that has no citation and does not allude to other media.
  4. Write the concept and creation and reception sections for the list of characters
  5. Write the concept and creation section for the main article

TTN rejected my compromise because it still keeps the articles. I agreed I would consider a redirect, but Wikipedia:Article size does not allow that, since the list of locations is currently 82 KB long. Instead, I agreed to help cut down the geography section that is the bulk of the article, but TTN rejected that as well because TTN states, "I am not interested in working on the article in regards to improving it." and "get past this "having sources automatically means that this information is good" mentality." TTN states, "I don't think they have or will ever assert notability." I have replied with, "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, so if you don't think the articles will ever assert notability, we cannot yet know this, per Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#I don't like it.

Actually, while you're around, I have a quick question, what's your opinion of this username: User talk:Formication. They submitted an AFC request, for a band (non-notable) with the same name, but it seems to me that this is just so easily read as "Fornication" that it may be problematic. What's your opinion on it?

Alchemic Dream (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The IP was removing unsourced negative content which was totally inappropriate to be in the article. I have been forced to protect the article as a response to an OTRS ticket from the company who are protesting your decision to block the IP (74.210.141.38 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)) and revert the material back in.

Good question. Same story with deleting a discussion when it is finished and resolved. What is wrong with deleting it? How the heck is THAT vandalism. You guys really don't want contributions. Hours of research and taking the time to find citations, etc. are just deleted for no reason. I contribute to other websites. I am not going to make any more contributions here. It's a waste of time. You folks are a trip.

Deletion of the redirect

[edit]

DerHexer, you've deleted the redirect (it was Talk:House of Gradić, I've restored it in the meantime), without reading the content of the talkpage (Talk:House of Gradić).
If you haven't read, I'll repeat it for you. Here's the content from the library of HAZU.
Here're the instructions how to get to the search results (after a period of time, search result expires, so you need to restart the search).
Step 1. Catalogue start page [5].
Step 2. Catalogue search page [6].
Step 3. Under the author, type "Gradić".
See the first result. Here's the page [7].

Totally Confused re: Editing Process (See Ska Page)

[edit]

I'm sorry, there is something I am not getting. I edited the ska page, it was a constant fight with Upsetterfc. You had indicated that I needed to put citations so I did. A TON of them. Still an editing war with Upsetterfc. He kept deleting everything I contributed so I gave up. Fine problem solved situation resolved. I decided to make no more contributions to pages where he is involved. So then I edited the Talk page since the situation had been resolved and you accused me of vandalism. I had asked a questin about it and never got a response. So, I edited the Talk page again with an explanation and now Skylab has reversed it.

This is TOTALLY confusing. You delete what I want to add and you keep adding what I want to delete. I just don't get it. On the one hand, pages on here ask for contributions. When contributions are made it's such a hassle it doesn't seem to be worth the bother. It's almost like certain people own certain pages here and no one else is allowed to make any changes.

I put this on Skylab's page as well. Please clarify.

Hi, I would like to know why is the talk page here protected even though you tell them if they want an unblock they need to add the template?

My recent RfA

[edit]

I am sorry you felt it necessary to oppose my recent RfA, which did not succeed. I also am sorry you felt it necessary to oppose without leaving me any feedback as to what I should do to improve. I see you reverting vandalism all the time, and I respect your judgment. It saddens me that you would choose to oppose my RfA, and even without leaving me any reason or what I needed to improve on. I will attempt to get more experience in the main namespace and the Wikipedia namespace and will try again for RfA in two month's time. I hope I will have satisfied your concerns by then, but if not, please comment as you feel you should. Thanks for participating in my RfA. -- Cobi(t|c|b|cn) 08:58, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I changed my position after the "deadline". It was to late for me to write a huge comment—you also know that English is not my first language. For that reason I wanted to talk to you per IRC (which is easier for me), do you remember? … To make it short—imho it was too early and you've "wanted it too much". The next time I'll support it—I promise. If I'm allowed to I could even co-nominate it. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 12:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Valley Forge General Hospital

[edit]

Hello, I am the one who erased part of the section in Valley Forge General Hospital. I would have appreciated if you actually read the deleted portion before you undid my edit. It is completely unsuitable for Wikipedia or any informational website.

- Many parts read as a trivia section ("The famous actor, Gene Wilder, was a neuropsychiatric technician at Valley Forge General Hospital in the late 1950s.").

-There are absolutely no references anywhere in the section, and many statements are opinions or are completely unverifiable ("As a result, they rented housing in Phoenixville, Norristown, Pottstown and virtually all of the other local communities. Many of the personnel joined local groups."). What local groups? How can we verify this? Also ("It was a huge loss to the military, and to the local community.") This is most certainly an opinion, and has NO facts to back it up. This hospital was the subject of the US Supreme Court case "Valley Forge Christian College v. Americans United" (1982) where it was decided that the hospital could be liquidated as UNNEEDED SURPLUS PROPERTY and only a few years later was reopened as a fully accredited college. I would hardly call the sale of surplus property via a Public Benefit Allowance a "huge loss", especially when there are absolutely no citations showing that there was any kind of financial or sociopolitical loss.

-The section is full of weasel-worded statements ("Many new medications were first utilized there, and many treatment techniques were developed there").

- At least one sentence is written in the first person ("It was intense, and very, very comprehensive. That training enabled graduates to challenge the R.N. boards after I left the Army.")

- Many sentences make no logical sense and have no documentation to back them up ("The Acrylic Eye (for people who had lost an eyeball) was invented by one of the DENTISTS at Valley Forge") (my emphasis on 'dentist' - why would a dentist be involved in opthamological research?)

- Many sentences have no relevance to the overall topic whatsoever ("Many of the married enlisted personnel also joined local volunteer fire departments, where that training paid off.") I cannot see how married enlisted men joining local fire departments has ANYTHING to do with the topic.

- And please read the last four lines of the section: "There were also 20 people who died of the plague in this hospital.

Please note, whoever stated that about 20 people died of the plague at this hospital, is telling bald faced lies. Not one case of plague was ever contracted at Valley Forge General Hospital. That is one of the problems with Wikipedia, anyone can write anything, whether it is true or not."


This entire section was a joke. No amount of research could possibly verify half of these claims. Since the section is so impertinent to the article itself, I think it was a much better idea to delete the section. While I realize you like to think of yourself as the vandalism police, it's worth taking a closer look next time.

Thanks, Matt

"unnecessary redirect"

[edit]

Are you sure all of those are unnecessary? If so, why? – Gurch 22:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Their namespace 0 pages are redirects, too, and they are orphaned. Imho they're all unnecessary. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:41, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm. Unnecessary perhaps... though surely such redirects are created all the time when pages are moved; is it really worth the trouble/extra DB load of deleting them all? Oh, and one or other of your reverting and deleting is clearly being done by a bot. My money's on the reverting, which is lucky for you, because you're not meant to delete things with bots (not that I can talk) – Gurch 22:42, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
are you sure this discussion is worth the trouble/extra DB load? -- 23:15, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's a revertion script which I manually use—have a look at an old version here, and a new one here where you can find my script to delete unnecessary redirects, too(, yes, it's not a bot). I hope you can imagine how funny it is to click ten thousands of times. Btw, it's easier to move pages when the talk page redirect is deleted.

Just Curious..

[edit]

Hello, I see you and dozens of others busting their arses to knock out vandalism and it seems to be a never ending battle. I've tried to help out myself and have gotten frustrated with it. I'm just wondering has it always been this way? If so Why? Why hasn't Wikipedia gotten stricter on this problem? Why do they continue to let it happen and only offer lame threats like 'Please stop, or we'll tell your mum!' (Not exactly but you get my point.) I don't understand, I think Wikipedia is a wonderful tool in so many ways, yet there are a load of idiots ruining it and it seems those who have the authority to stop it, or at least prevent it leave it up to everyone else. Meanwhile, people who make a gods honest effort to contribute are chastised or red tape makes it damn near impossible. To start with why don't they just ban Anonymous IP's from editing period! You want to edit, sign up! Most of the problem seems to come from IP's anyway, and most of those IPs are teenage school brats. Sorry, I'm new here and just trying to figure out why the powers that be would allow this to go on and often over and over and over again from the same IP groups. Are they willingly letting this valuable tool go to hell on the fast track? I appreciate those who vigilantly go after vandals because I've run out of patience in a very short time so you've earned my respect. Then of course there are those that do more criticizing than they actually do to help contribute anything. If they spent half the time doing instead of complaining they wouldn't have anything to complain about. Thanks for doing your best! --Dp67 | QSO | Sandbox | UBX's 20:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

67.82.75.219

[edit]

I see that you blocked 67.82.75.219 for 24 hours about two weeks ago. He has continued vandalizing Wikipedia. I see no reason why he shouldn't be blocked for a longer period of time. Thanks, Rm999 05:43, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My first block is always for 24 hours. Please report perpetuating vandals to WP:AIV. Thanks, —DerHexer (Talk) 11:29, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Mars global warming

[edit]

There was a contentious forced merge of Mars global warming into Climate of Mars. The talk page Talk:Mars global warming was left alone at the time but I suspect that someone came along and changed it to a redirect and you, just seeing the redirect, deleted it. Could you restore the page and revert back to the version prior to it becoming a redirect? I'm going to be doing something with that page and would like the old talk restored. TMLutas 07:33, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The page had just one version—the redirect. Its namespace 0 page is a redirect, too, and the talk page is orphaned. There is—in my opinion—no reason to restore this redirect. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 17:32, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There's something odd going on. I remember personally contributing to this page so you should have more of a history than just a redirect. Is Wikipedia losing some of its history? I thought it kept everything. Could you double check that there's not anything underneath that redirect? TMLutas 18:19, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The page has been moved to Talk:Martian global warming. —DerHexer (Talk) 18:26, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. You may want to put this sort of check as part of your standard routine. This page is very controversial as it impacts on the viability of alternate explanations of terrestrial global warming. TMLutas 01:53, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possible sockpuppet?

[edit]

Hey DerHexer, I was just wondering if you have any view on this IP user, who has full knowledge of WP:NPA and seems to have the knowledge of a long established user. This is very strange for an IP user, who has an immediate knowledge of Wikipedia, and I was wondering if I could get your view on this. Thanks, — jacĸrм (talk) 19:51, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know that but this IP comes from Norway. —DerHexer (Talk) 19:53, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Norway, hmm. I know of no users who would use an IP to get around things from Norway. Thanks, — jacĸrм (talk) 20:15, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

about Unicef page

[edit]

why did you remove the link Visit this page daily to generate a donation to Unicef to help children??? It's not spam! But the link lifesite.net is curious... You should read twice before removing! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.115.127.28 (talk) 11:03, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it's spam. Btw., the link is wrong. You've doubled the http://. —DerHexer (Talk) 11:13, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's hard for me to understand how it could be spam since it's a link to help unicef on the unicef page!... Also, why do you conserve the link http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2004/oct/04101201.html ?? It's not a unicef site! Read that page http://www.lifesite.net/aboutlifesite/ and tell me if it's not spam!! You're not neutral! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.115.127.28 (talk) 16:05, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it might be spam, too. I've not seen that page but your spamming on many, many projects so that I've removed your spam link. If you remove the other one I would not revert it. … But I will not take the trouble to inspect every page if it is spam or not. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:38, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Admin tools

Could you come onto IRC for a bit to discuss the admin script? Regards, —Animum (etc.) 19:05, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I told you to query me. :P —DerHexer (Talk) 20:43, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where?

[edit]

Don't mean to sound nosey, but what server and channel on IRC do you all hang around at? :P — jacĸrм (talk) 21:49, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

#wikipedia, #wikipedia-en, #wikipedia-en-admins, #wikipedia-es, #wikipedia-de, #wikipedia-admin, #wikipedia-de-chem, #wikipedia-de-rc, #wikimedia-swmt, #wikimedia-stewards and sometimes #wikimedia. Why do you ask me? —DerHexer (Talk) 21:52, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What server is that at? I was just wondering as I used to go there, but now I've lost the server and my connection is currently being slow, therefore trying to find the server through Wikipedia is not such a good idea. — jacĸrм (talk) 22:00, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
meta:IRC channels? ;) It's freenode. —DerHexer (Talk) 22:09, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mach ich aber nur, wenn du nicht weiter über Herodot herziehst. Ein toller Autor und ein tolles Buch, wenn man Kommentierungen und die z.&nsbp;T. nötigen Richtigstellungen hat. Aber für die Bücher 2 (Ägypten) und 4 (Skythen) hatte er ja größtenteils sehr gut informierte Fremdenführer bzw. Übersetzer. —DerHexer (Talk) 21:26, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is a discussion page. Here I can use the language I want to use. It's not your problem. I don't like it, if somone will tell me, wich language I have to use. And a translation is not needed. Please do your own things. Marcus Cyron 22:55, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Revert on Alcoholics Anonymous

[edit]

Hi,

User 207.232.97.13

has been vandalizing the AA article for months now, my deletion of his material was in line with the discussion page. Thanks. 80.194.237.22 23:39, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did you get confused? :P [9], [10]. Heh, anyhow, keep up the great work, and happy vandal whacking. Oh and btw did you know you've beaten the IRC revert bot the most times? That's no small feat! KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 00:03, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I've known that. But it's not important who reverts but that it will be reverted. … Thanks for your fix. Maybe there is a bug in my script—I'll try to fix it. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 00:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quick help

[edit]

user:68.121.25.73 needs blocking, please, and perhaps his two favorite pages need to be semi-ed. He's a sock that just keeps coming back... I've reported to AIV but no one is watching it. Thanks! Gscshoyru 21:51, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Specialists Revert

[edit]

TSRP is not acceptable in the Wikipedia article. The role-play bastardization of the game is as unique to TS as it is to Counter-Strike, Half-life (even more so: see Master Sword Continued), Magic the Gathering, or checkers. Aside from TSRP being third-party and built off of mostly illegally pirated content, it simply is nothing more than advertising here. Keep in-game community information on your respective forums, and not flooding half the official Wikipedia article.

This has been posted in the page discussion. It is unreasonable and a legal risk to relate what appears to be official 'The Specialists Mod' information with a single players' role-play addon which is responsible for large-scale distribution illegal/pirate content. Infact, the entire section of role-play is officially unsupported and officially discouraged. Do not revert the removal of 'Role-Play.' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.164.0.240 (talk) 21:55, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You blocked a user

[edit]

You blocked User:Qomee for being a vandalism only account. While it was definitely true that all 2 of the user's edits were vandalism, the user had not yet been warned or otherwise notified of wikipedia's policies. Wouldn't a {{blatantvandal}} been a better action immediately? I know vandals get us all down and waste significant amounts of all our time, but banning straight out of the gate seems like it would discourage the rare repentant vandal from contributing meaningfully. I'm not asking you to unban this particular user, just... try not to bite the newbies quite so hard(even the vandals) i kan reed 03:05, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My Rfa

[edit]

Thanks for voting in my Rfa, which I withdrew from yesterday. Though I did not get promoted, I see this Rfa as being a success nonetheless. What I got out of this Rfa will help me to be a better, all around editor. Because of this Rfa I have decided to become better in other areas of editing. I'm not going to just be a vandalfighter. Though vandalfighting is good, being active in all areas of editing is even better. Have a nice day.--SJP 22:31, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gosh!

[edit]

You just beat me to not 1, not 2, not 3, but 10, that's 10 reverts in a row. This is almost annoying ;). Thanks for being so awesome. :) Nihiltres(t.l) 22:55, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for participating in my recent RfA. Although the voting ended at 36/22/5, there was no consensus to promote, and the RfA was unsuccessful. I would like the thank you nonetheless for supporting me during the RfA, and hope that any future RfA’s proceed better than this one did. Again, I thank you for your support. ≈ The Haunted Angel Review Me! 02:24, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
