"Wikipedia, We Have A Problem" Blog Vanishes Off The Internet

Rome Viharo was a user of the first version of the Wikipedia Sucks messageboard, he had a blog at Wikipedia, We Have a Problem and now that blog (which had stopped updating sometime in 2019) is dead, with the URL for sale.  We have not heard from Rome Viharo on the new Wikipedia Sucks board, so the assumption is that he has given up, and that's awful. You should never let David "I'm an expert on blockchains now!" Gerard and his crew of STEM dropouts have the final word.

A Short Recitation of The Facts As We Understand Them

You can get a warped picture of Viharo from RationalWiki's page on him, a page he objected to and tried to edit in his own defense in late 2013. It has been rewritten multiple times and the version up now seems to be the most mean-spirited. The capsule history of Rome Viharo on Wikipedia was that he tried to edit the Rupert Sheldrake BLP under the handle Tumbleman (good luck finding the evidence, they cut him out of the revision history) after he joined on April 17, 2013. The skeptical types sitting on Sheldrake's biography (and there was a long edit-war over the article) took a dislike to Viharo quickly, found out his real name, an article was up on RationalWiki by November 2013. According to Craig Weiler's PSI blog (and the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki, which states he did 497 edits in total), Viharo was given the boot in early October. After that he started his blog, giving us such posts as "Do Some People Just Deserve It?" and "A Skeptical Inquiry - This Whole Mess Needs To Be Cleaned Up". He was fighting a two-front war against Wikipedia and RationalWiki (mostly against the latter) because of their stupid page on him. We were never told why he just didn't "lawyer up" and have an attorney write a letter to whichever RationalWiki manchild did legal seven years ago, I suspect he felt he could appeal to their "rationality."

Because the first version of the Wikipedia Sucks! messageboard was deleted by ProBoards, I don't have easy access to when he joined that board. but he was harassed by a couple of troll accounts the administrators would delete as soon as their true purpose was revealed. Some of the photos from the RationalWiki article were used in these attacks. Around that time the still-existing attack site wikipediawedonthaveaproblem was started by Oliver D. Smith. Smith created a lot of drama for both versions of the board, and I am sure he will come back for more, he's a master at it.

Not a Conclusion

Viharo has really tried to put his time with Wikipedia's thought police  and being hit by RationalWiki (their article is the first thing that comes up when you type in his name) behind him - he has a business to run and no time for their nonsense, which means no time for our nonsense as well. If he wishes to come back, he is welcome.

[18:16] <***> Buffer Playback...
[18:16] <{Soap}> [22:26:47] I really dont think we should take those 'threats' seriously
[18:16] <{Soap}> [22:27:02] why you undo my edit huh u dont like my theory on antonio being a nazi im gona sue ur as with love me
[18:16] <{Soap}> [22:27:04] is not a threat
[18:16] <geniice> [22:27:59] {Soap} it's less effort to avoid messing around
[18:16] <Alex_____> [22:28:47] Wow
[18:16] <{Soap}> [22:37:29] An automated process is about to commence a mass blanking task affecting approximately ten thousand articles in order to resolve a wide-scale copyright infringement issue
[18:16] <{Soap}> [22:37:39] aha
[18:16] <{Soap}> [22:37:41] it's Dhlomo
[18:16] <Chzz> [22:37:42] Does anyone know about how "On this day" works?
[18:16] <Chzz> [22:37:49] {Soap} maybe ^
[18:16] <Alex_____> [22:39:28] {Soap}: Why?
[18:16] <{Soap}> [22:39:52] biggest copyvio ever
[18:16] <{Soap}> [22:40:02] 160000 edits
[18:16] <tombom> [22:40:05] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_Citizen_Movement
[18:16] <{Soap}> [22:40:15] granted not all of them were copyvios, and probably most werent, but we cant take chances
[18:16] <GoHawks> [22:41:20] {Soap}: where was that at?
[18:16] <{Soap}> [22:41:40] well I saw the page earlier, but what I just posted was on the site notice
[18:16] <GoHawks> [22:42:28] on en?
[18:16] <{Soap}> [22:42:32] yeah
[18:16] <GoHawks> [22:42:37] or global?
[18:16] <Jeske_Couriano> [22:43:19] GoHawks) en.wp
[18:16] <GoHawks> [22:43:32] oh
[18:16] <GoHawks> [22:43:43] i dont see anything about it...
[18:16] <Jeske_Couriano> [22:46:14] GoHawks) Look at the top of your watchlist
[18:16] <GoHawks> [22:46:36] ohh
06[18:16] * Jeske_Couriano [22:46:45] returns to downloading Doneru doujinshi
[18:16] <GoHawks> [22:47:49] over 10,000 pages?
[18:16] <GoHawks> [22:48:11] wait
[18:16] <GoHawks> [22:48:16] where did i get that number from..
[18:16] <Jeske_Couriano> [22:49:26] The CCI has 23 subpages
[18:16] <{Soap}> [22:49:38] bbl
[18:16] <Jeske_Couriano> [22:49:42] So ~25K articles
[18:16] <GoHawks> [22:50:50] oh
[18:16] <Qcoder00> [22:55:00] Right , I need 3 planetary astrophyscists
[18:16] <Qcoder00> [22:55:02] ;)
[18:16] <Qcoder00> [22:55:16] I had an idea for something to go on Wiki Campus Radio's podcasty
[18:16] <Qcoder00> [23:13:19] BarkingFish: Any good as a writer?
[18:16] <Arlen22> [23:39:23] Is it possible to transfer ownership of a child account from one account to another.
[18:16] <Arlen22> [23:39:34] like a bot account, for instance.
[18:16] <MrZ-man|lazin> [23:40:42] no, because there's nothing to transfer
[18:16] <geniice> [23:40:50] why would you want to?
[18:16] <MrZ-man|lazin> [23:41:11] software-wise, there really is no concept of "child accounts"
[18:16] <Arlen22> [23:41:43] if you have a bot, it is usually linked to your account.
[18:16] <Herodotus> [23:41:51] http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/8988132.stm
[18:16] <MrZ-man|lazin> [23:43:20] only by the operator just saying so on the userpage
[18:16] <Arlen22> [23:43:56] autoblock is affected by this
[18:16] <GoHawks> [23:46:39] if you're blocked and trying to get another account that's sockpuppetry
[18:16] <MrZ-man|lazin> [23:47:41] autoblock just blocks the last IP used by the account, it doesn't directly block user accounts
[18:16] <Arlen22> [23:48:59] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bot_policy#Bot_accounts
[18:16] <GoHawks> [23:50:33] so you're blocked?
[18:16] <MrZ-man|lazin> [23:52:16] what about it?
[18:16] <Arlen22> [23:52:18] no
[18:16] <Arlen22> [23:52:38] Ok, the article alert bot is changing hands.
[18:16] <Arlen22> [23:52:51] How do you change the owner from one to the other.
[18:16] <GoHawks> [23:53:23] you don't...
[18:16] <DiegoGrez> [23:53:42] hola pianista
[18:16] <darkoneko> [23:53:43] nighty
[18:16] <la_pianista> [23:54:09] hola Diego
[18:16] <la_pianista> [23:54:11] night
[18:16] <la_pianista> [23:54:12] meh. ._.
[18:16] <Arlen22> [23:54:56] whatever.
[18:16] <MrZ-man|lazin> [23:54:59] you get the current owner to give you the password, then change it
[18:16] <Loki> [23:55:08] MrZ-man|lazin: o,o
[18:16] <MrZ-man|lazin> [23:55:10] or just create a new account, which is less work
[18:16] <Loki> [23:55:14] MrZ-man|lazin: whats your username on wiki?
[18:16] <Loki> [23:55:23] waur
[18:16] <Loki> [23:55:25] wait
[18:16] <Loki> [23:55:26] nevermind.
[18:16] <Loki> [00:02:48] GoHawks: i feel bad in away, that blocking has caused a "shit" storm
[18:16] <GoHawks> [00:03:04] ?
[18:16] <Loki> [00:03:22] http://enwp.org/User_talk:Alaaan
[18:16] <GoHawks> [00:03:41] oh
[18:16] <Loki> [00:03:44] http://enwp.org/User_talk:86.178.52.68
[18:16] <Arlen22> [00:06:37] can someone actually get you in trouble?
[18:16] <GoHawks> [00:08:09] ?
[18:16] <Loki> [00:08:22] Arlen22: Legally? No
[18:16] <Loki> [00:08:45] Wikipedia if I am not mistaken, is not technically a public service
[18:16] <Loki> [00:09:05] they are allow to block who ever they want for whatever they want. They don't, as they have policies
[18:16] <Loki> [00:09:23] but the "I am going to sue you unless you unblock me" is very childish,
[18:16] <Loki> [00:09:56] He was blocked for "denying" unblock requests, when he is not an sysop nor a checkuser
[18:16] <Loki> [00:10:48] Ontop of vandlaism type edits on his User account, and one on his IP account
[18:16] <murdox> [00:12:34] I love how starting a little userspace draft creates this huge drv discussion
[18:16] <murdox> [00:12:36] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:DRV#Gay_Nigger_Association_of_America
[18:16] <Qcoder00> [00:12:56] Loki: If anything hes the one that should be worried,
[18:16] <Loki> [00:13:08] Qcoder00: Thats the thing/
[18:16] <Qcoder00> [00:13:23] After all if it was a 'cop' he'd impersonated he'd be in real  shtting brick trouble
[18:16] <Loki> [00:14:03] Thats the point the admins are trying to make, what he was doing was no diffrent then going in court and telling someone that they couldn't make bail
[18:16] <Loki> [00:14:08] because they are lame.
[18:16] <geniice> [00:14:39] murdox 3 enteries?
[18:16] <Qcoder00> [00:14:40] In any case, I doubt any sensible QC would touch something like this with a bargepole
[18:16] <Qcoder00> [00:15:05] In fact has any checked if the legal firm he's clamings acting on his behalf is genuine?
[18:16] <murdox> [00:15:12] pardon
[18:16] <alyxuk> [00:15:12] i highly recommend everyone uses the same toothpaste as me.
[18:16] <geniice> [00:15:34] murdox there appear to be 3 entries in the DRV
[18:16] <Qcoder00> [00:15:45] Loki: Also he doesn't seem very up on UK legal issues,  A QC is typically a Barrister...
[18:16] <geniice> [00:15:53] Qcoder00 we don't care. he's blatently lying
[18:16] <Qcoder00> [00:15:58] I know that
[18:16] <Qcoder00> [00:16:00] ;)
[18:16] <Qcoder00> [00:16:05] He's only making it worse
[18:16] <Loki> [00:16:16] Qcoder00: I never said he was smart :p but he is using a UK IP
[18:16] <***> Playback Complete.
[18:19] <Qcoder00> Hmm
15[18:19] * emijrp (~chatzilla@84.122.207.13.dyn.user.ono.com) Quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.86 [Firefox 3.6.8/20100723084720])
[18:19] <Qcoder00> Yeah but you would expect someone in the UK genuinely making legal threats to at least know the difference between a Barrister , a QC, and a Solicitor
[18:19] <Loki> or atleast http://enwp.org/User_talk:86.178.52.68 is
[18:19] <Loki> They are doing a check user
[18:19] <Loki> iirc
15[18:19] * tombom (~tombom@82.11.105.228) Quit (Quit: Leaving)
[18:19] <Qcoder00> Where's Ironholds?
[18:19] <Loki> Tho "MuZemike" claims he is using both ip addresses noted, both UK.
[18:19] <Qcoder00> Hmmm BT IP Pool though
[18:19] <Loki> Which is known for proxys
[18:19] <Loki> many open proxies
[18:20] <Qcoder00> Well the traceroute hits a firewall somewhere inside BT's servers
[18:20] <Deskana> Loki: That's a bit of a stretch.
[18:20] <Loki> Deskana: what is?
[18:21] <Deskana> Maybe there are a lot of proxies in the BT ranges, but there's also a hell of a lot more "normal" IPs and users.
[18:21] <Qcoder00> Loki: That said, BT's internet use policy people, can be rather nice to work with,   Complained about spam to them once and the spammer vanished within the hour!!
15[18:21] * Seahorse (~Seahorse@wikia/wikipedia.Seahorseruler) Quit (Disconnected by services)
03[18:22] * Seahorse_ (~Seahorse@wikia/wikipedia.Seahorseruler) has joined #wikipedia-en
[18:22] <Qcoder00> Apparently there's an urban myth, that because BT used to be the GPO Phones in the UK , they still did some hush-hush uber secret govt communications stuff,
03[18:22] * Seahorse_ is now known as Seahorse
[18:22] <Loki> Yes there are. I was not saying the proxies, outweight the users; but in every country there is one major ISP that proxybots tend to pick, ones with large amount of bw thing so of that nature.
[18:22] <Qcoder00> and thus any 'problem' user got dealt with quickly...
[18:23] <Loki> May be so Qcoder00.
03[18:23] * frozenicce (~deppo@ip-109-91-22-145.unitymediagroup.de) has joined #wikipedia-en
[18:23] <Loki> I thought BT was still a Crown Org
[18:23] <Qcoder00> No
[18:23] <Qcoder00> Its British Telecomunications Plc
[18:23] <Qcoder00> IIRC
[18:23] <murdox> (23:15:29) (geniice) murdox there appear to be 3 entries in the DRV
[18:23] <murdox> I only count two
[18:23] <Loki> BT Group plc
[18:24] <Qcoder00> Loki: Hmm - Do we know if L.Phillips QC is genuine?
[18:24] <Loki> Qcoder00: What do you mean? who is L.Phillips?
[18:24] <Qcoder00> The indvidual mentioned on the blocked users talk page
[18:25] <Loki> I can check into the domain, but I doubt it
[18:25] <Qcoder00> Loki: You'd have to ask Ironholds, but it was my understanding that 'impersonating' a barrister/solicitor was NOT something you did...
[18:26] <Loki> mailinator.com is a spamspot shite
[18:26] <Loki> site*
[18:26] <Loki> like hushmail
[18:26] <Qcoder00> So why would a 'lawyer' be using it?
[18:27] <Loki> Exactly.
[18:27] <Qcoder00> Also
[18:27] <Loki>  拢10GBP + solicitor's consultation fee of 拢1,000,000,00
[18:27] <Qcoder00> i) A Barrister would not like to be described as a solicitor
[18:27] <Loki> I knew no consulation fee that much.
[18:28] <Qcoder00> ii) The odd fees, besides fees are normally determined partly by the courts...
[18:28] <Qcoder00> iii) Solicitors are not in the UK as far as I know QC's...
[18:28] <Loki> In the US lawyers set the fees.
[18:28] <Loki> scaaam
[18:29] <Qcoder00> iv) Any  good barrister would realise this user doesn't have a leg to stand on...
[18:29] <Qcoder00> Wikipedia is a private site, and can thus set it's own rules on who can use it
[18:29] <Loki> http://bit.ly/bWlBNt Only thing I can find a L. Phillips
15[18:30] * barras_ (~Barras@wikimedia/barras) Quit (Quit: Leaving.)
[18:30] <Qcoder00> Loki: And he's not a QC or even seemingly an active lawyer...
[18:30] <Loki> if that is the person in question
[18:31] <Loki> not all laywers on googable.
[18:31] <Qcoder00> Loki: The LSE Prof you found is NOT the L. Philips we want...
[18:32] <Loki> Okay? Like I said. If that is the person in question and not all laywers are googable.
[18:32] <Loki> Therefore, like I said. Scaaam.
[18:32] <Qcoder00> Of course , he could be genuine...
[18:33] <Qcoder00> but given the nature of how the exchange on that talk page arose....
[18:33] <Qcoder00> It's a shame Ironholds isn't here
[18:34] <geniice> hah http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/773907
[18:35] <Qcoder00> ??
[18:35] <geniice> I find it funny
[18:39] <Qcoder00> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roger_Webster&diff=prev&oldid=384196552 - Reasonable edit?
[18:39] <Qcoder00> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AContributions&tagfilter=&contribs=user&target=Alaaan&namespace=&tagfilter=&year=&month=-1
[18:39] <Qcoder00> Hmm
[18:40] <Qcoder00> Is Lupin's recent changes tool widely advertised?
[18:40] <Qcoder00> They also seem remarkably quick in setting up certain templates on thier userspace pages
[18:42] <Qcoder00> Any checkusers in?
[18:42] <alyxuk> at cadets we're getting an army physical training instructor coming in on monday
[18:42] <alyxuk> staff has warned us that it WILL hurt >.>
15[18:42] * GoSooners (~ANowlin@wikipedia/anowlin) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[18:43] <Qcoder00> alyxuk: Good luck... XD
[18:43] <alyxuk> .. hm 卢_卢
[18:43] <alyxuk> staff said "nobody will raise an eyebrow if you drop out during the warmup, as long as you give it a go"
[18:43] <alyxuk> and as far as im concerned, as long as i beat the recruits (and someone in their kit), its a success
[18:44] <alyxuk> i dont want ANY recruits thinking theyre better than me
[18:44] <Qcoder00> alyxuk:  Don't overdo it though
[18:44] <alyxuk> and i want to beat someone in their kit to put myself on the same 'level' as a kitted person
[18:44] <alyxuk> ive overdone it before, its fine
03[18:44] * Guest67402 (~ANowlin@adsl-70-233-131-100.dsl.okcyok.sbcglobal.net) has joined #wikipedia-en
[18:44] <alyxuk> it only gets easier after that ;)
15[18:44] * Guest67402 (~ANowlin@adsl-70-233-131-100.dsl.okcyok.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Changing host)
03[18:44] * Guest67402 (~ANowlin@wikipedia/anowlin) has joined #wikipedia-en
[18:44] <alyxuk> im gonna take my cycling bottle of water with me
03[18:44] * Guest67402 is now known as ANowlin
[18:45] <alyxuk> i love cadets, and im hoping the instructor is a fucking hardass
[18:45] <alyxuk> because thats what motivates me
[18:45] <alyxuk> if i get some instructor who is really nice, i'll get nowhere
[18:45] <Qcoder00> alyxuk:  Not that I know anything about cadet PTI methods,  but you should know your own limits...
03[18:46] * GoHawks is now known as HawksWin
[18:46] <alyxuk> if i have one that says "GET IT FUCKING DONE YOU USELESS BASTARD, COME ON", i work harder :P
[18:46] <alyxuk> it isnt a cadet PTI guy, its an army PTI guy
[18:46] <alyxuk> he does it for the living, with the army
[18:46] <Qcoder00> <me grins evily>
[18:46] <alyxuk> and hes coming in especially for us
[18:46] <Qcoder00> You should know your own limits, and how to tackle the pain barrier...
[18:46] <alyxuk> i know my own limits, but i'll push through them until i beat someone in their kits
[18:46] <alyxuk> i know who will last the longest, Cpl Carlton, hes really fit
[18:47] <alyxuk> my staff sgt is, to quote an adult-instructor, "fat bald and angry".. but i bet i'd be suprised by how fit he really is
[18:47] <alyxuk> he could probably manage it :/
03[18:47] * Soxred93 (~Soxred93@wikipedia/Soxred93) has joined #wikipedia-en
[18:47] <Qcoder00> However,  even if your push the enevelope, don't be a macho idiot and do yourself an injury....
[18:47] <Qcoder00> *you
[18:47] <alyxuk> heh
[18:47] <alyxuk> i took part in an inspection last thursday, and im known at my Det for having VERY shiny boots, from day 2
[18:48] <alyxuk> and staff came up to me and said, "Wood, who has the shiniest boots, me or you? me, good."
[18:48] <Qcoder00> Because an 'injuried' idiot is one of the things that's really going to get a PTI's temper ....
[18:48] <alyxuk> made me smile :P
03[18:48] * J_Milburn (~chatzilla@wikipedia/j-milburn) has joined #wikipedia-en
[18:48] <alyxuk> whereas some people (read as: not military people) would take that as criticism (somehow..), i take it as an acknowledgement of my efforts
[18:49] <alyxuk> hes seen my boots, he knows theyre shinier than his, and hes having a bit of a joke about it
[18:49] <alyxuk> we have some right dopey git on the recruit squad right now, hes the dopiest bastards ive ever seen
[18:49] <Qcoder00> alyxuk: I assume you know why UK Commandos were able to do some of thr things they did despite being normal people?
[18:49] <alyxuk> but someone seems to like him for some reason
[18:49] <alyxuk> but i think it'll wear off.
[18:50] <alyxuk> Qcoder00: Go on :P
[18:50] <Qcoder00> All done to training.. (including PTI ) apparently.. ( Re Commandos)
06[18:50] * J_Milburn arrives, reads what alyxuk just read, and laughs
[18:50] <J_Milburn> wrote, not read
[18:50] <Qcoder00> *down
[18:50] <alyxuk> J_Milburn: a good laugh, or a bad laugh? which bit?
[18:50] <J_Milburn> alyxuk: I'm assuming you're in the cadets? If so, a bad laugh.
[18:51] <alyxuk> pff
[18:51] <alyxuk> im not legally able to join the army yet, so of course im a cadet
[18:51] <J_Milburn> Seriously, it's nice that you have a hobby, but God, get yourself a real job
[18:51] <alyxuk> it gives me an experience of being militarised until i can join the army
[18:52] <alyxuk> cadets isnt a job.
[18:52] <J_Milburn> If that's what you want to do with yourself, great, good for you
[18:52] <J_Milburn> But don't expect everyone to be impressed when you brag about it

[18:55] <Qcoder00> There are at least 14 dialects of 'Northern'
[18:55] <Qcoder00> And there isn't a single Yorkshire either...
[18:55] <Qcoder00> (dialect wise)
[18:55] <BarkingFish> 13 of which are completely incomprehensible
[18:55] <J_Milburn> :p
[18:55] <alyxuk> it allows us to talk in code while in london
[18:55] <Qcoder00> BarkingFish:  Hmm
[18:55] <alyxuk> i like my accent
[18:56] <Qcoder00> But at least it's not Glasgow Scots?
[18:56] <BarkingFish> The only remotely northern accent I get close to understanding is what you call "Geordie"
[18:56] <alyxuk> i can turn up the accent too, becoming fully yorkshire.. or turn it down, to BBC english
[18:56] <la_pianista> At least it isn't Texan.
[18:56] <BarkingFish> that isn't a problem. Yorkshire I find impossible, Scouse (Liverpool) and Mancunian I also find impossible.
[18:56] <alyxuk> those are lame accents though :<

[18:58] <J_Milburn> MILTON KEYNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
[18:58] <Qcoder00> J_Milburn:   Icelandic isn't Southern or Northern.... XD
[18:58] <alyxuk> southerners arent real people :<
[18:58] <Qcoder00> Icelandic is well Norse originally IIRC
[18:58] <J_Milburn> It is
[18:58] <J_Milburn> Closest language to Old Norse that still exists
[18:59] <BarkingFish> Qcoder00, it's northen technically. We're on the rim of the arctic circle

[18:59] <J_Milburn> Milton Keynes has always made me laugh
[18:59] <alyxuk> it still makes me laugh
[18:59] <BarkingFish> me too, makes me wonder why the fuck I settled here
[18:59] <alyxuk> (the video)
[18:59] <alyxuk> i love how he seems to INSTANTLY sober up after hes said it the first time
[19:00] <J_Milburn> BarkingFish: Seriously, don't judge Britain on.... That place
[19:00] <BarkingFish> I don't.
[19:00] <BarkingFish> I've lived in a couple of other places, unfortunately all southern.
[19:00] <BarkingFish> Reading, and a place called Little Thetford on the outskirts of Ely, near Cambridge
[19:00] <HawksWin> okay
[19:01] <J_Milburn> I know both of them
[19:01] <HawksWin> anyone know how to make ubuntu power one usb port on demand only?
[19:01] <J_Milburn> How I know Little Thetford, I couldn't honestly say
[19:01] <BarkingFish> Little Thetford is a toilet, basically.
[19:01] <J_Milburn> But Reading is equally dull
[19:01] <BarkingFish> Doesn't even have a shop
[19:01] <J_Milburn> I'm pretty certain I've driven through there at some point
[19:01] <BarkingFish> Reading was boring, and I came to MK to take up a job.
[19:02] <BarkingFish> Which incidentally, I might be moving on from.

[19:03] <BarkingFish> I've applied for a post at the YOI at Woodhill Prison.

[19:04] <alyxuk> off to bed
[19:04] <J_Milburn> Hey, if it pays well...
[19:04] <Qcoder00> It's a challanging role, but one that needs dedicated people ...
[19:04] <alyxuk> ive been to thetford :O
[19:04] <J_Milburn> See ya
[19:04] <alyxuk> dunno if it was 'little thetford'
[19:04] <BarkingFish> Thetford isn't bad. Nice forest
[19:05] <Arlen22> is api.php accessible directly from the toolserver?
[19:05] <alyxuk> thetford has an army base
[19:05] <BarkingFish> Little Thetford is a shithole. The biggest attraction is the chicken farm, and that's only in summer when you can smell it up the other end of the village

[19:43] <MJ94> Yeah.
[19:43] <MJ94> I go both ways.
[19:44] <barts1a> I think that users should be able to put whatever they want in their userspace, do not delete... for now
[19:44] <BarkingFish> It's userspace. What goes in there isn't normally eligible for deletion unless it's advertising, resume and so on.

[19:48] <BarkingFish> There is no specific reason not to use the talk pages.
[19:48] <MJ94> I wasn't trying to sway votes.

[20:37] <Headbomb> however, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_V needs a redirect to [[The Elder Scrolls]]
[20:38] <{Soap}> youre sure it's April Fools?
[20:38] <{Soap}> and The_Elder_Scrolls_V was salted because it had been created many times
[20:38] <shimgray> oh, the capped form is protected?

[20:38] <Headbomb> shimgray: yup
[20:38] <shimgray> right, that's why they created the lcase form
[20:38] <barts1a> if you can provide that I will put the comment back in
[20:38] <shimgray> makes sense

[20:43] <barts1a> wikipedia users should be smart enough to LOOK at the section and see for themselvs
[20:43] <MJ94> No dude. They simply say what section you edited. Not the summary of your edit.
[20:43] <barts1a> *themselves
[20:43] <MJ94> barts1a: It's considered good practice to include one anyway.
[20:43] <barts1a> they can GET the summary IF THEY NEED TO by LOOKING at the CONTENT of the edit
[20:43] <MJ94> barts1a: It's considered good practice to include one anyway.
[20:43] <barts1a> I DID by pointing the user TO WHAT was edited!
[20:43] <MJ94> barts1a: Again, suggestion. No need for anger. :)
[20:44] <MJ94> barts1a: That's the default.
[20:44] <barts1a> it still counts as a summary
[20:44] <MJ94> ...
[20:44] <barts1a> there are THOUSANDS of other users AND ADMINS that use the same
[20:44] <barts1a> why not say the same to all of them as well?
[20:44] <{Soap}> hm?
[20:45] <{Soap}> whats going on?

[20:46] <MJ94> You don't see my point.

[20:46] <MJ94> It's helpful, and suggested, is all.
[20:46] <barts1a> AFK

[20:47] <{Soap}> on userpages itcould be anything, but those edits usually arent that important
[20:47] <MJ94> mhm
[20:47] <{Soap}> mainspace edit summaries are important though
[20:47] <barts1a> MJ94;  how is {{Busyweekdays}} a helpful edit summary?
[20:48] <MJ94> I added that template.
[20:48] <barts1a> it doesn't say what what the template does though
