Hello Fred and Wikinfoians

I've been away for a while, caught up in some Real Life events, hope all has been well here.

I have noticed a difficulty in viewing, posting, and uploading here this morning, and though I'm sure you already know about it, thought I'd point it out, just in case. Things like Bad Title and

Database error From Wikinfo Jump to: navigation, search A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "MediaWikiBagOStuff::_doinsert". MySQL returned error "1213: Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction (mysql.ibiblio.org)". Retrieved from "http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/User_talk:Anime_addict"

Have been popping up, and Upload File seems to be in a flux. Will Dockery 16:10, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Cyberbullying

Do you know how to get Critici la Uraganu' Rotaru translated so we can check if it's also cyberbullying? Proxima Centauri 14:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

If it's starting as a man hunt, I'd like to mention this article is in no way made by me, check out the references. Wait, why do I bother, I'm guily before trialed anyway.... Well, as a suggestion, you could use the google translation tool, but it works awful. I've tested it myself on a Wikinfo article (true, from English to Romanian) and the resulted text was... amusing the least, ununderstandable most of the time anyway. I could translate it for anyone interested, but it seems you're already aim at convicting me, so delete it away! Anime addict 14:13, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

If you were guilty before being tried I would have already blocked you. You're free to write constructive articles but please don't cyberbully. I don't know your age. I have experience working with 15 year old's on other Wikis. Therefore I wrote about what I know from there. Proxima Centauri 14:22, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you because you have deleted that crisitism, Thank you Fred, and thank you Anime Addict because you finnaly understand me. Regards, Rotaru Himself

Software bug

Is anything being done to stop these regular bugs in the software that make users try several times before getting the page they want? Proxima Centauri 12:33, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to update all the installed extensions. I'll probably comment out all the installed extensions first for a few minutes to see if that changes anything (as extensions do many things that will be quite disruptive, but is a good diagnostic tool). I upgraded to Mediawiki 1.13 which was a considerable jump ahead, but the upgrading instructions say to upgrade extensions also. Fred Talk 12:39, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm running refreshLinks.php now. It was suggested on MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org that an upgrade be followed by running refreshLinks.php. Fred Talk 13:39, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Done with refreshLinks.php, but no significant change. Fred Talk 16:29, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Appears to be an actual software bug. This is happening on some other sites, but does not seem to be a problem on Wikipedia. Fred Talk 12:36, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Interwiki links

Fred, I see you keep restoring the Interwiki links when I delete them. These links from Wikipedia are useless. They also undercut the idea that this is a multilingual encyclopedia. I delete them at every opportunity. I *suppose* one could argue that they work well UNTIL an article in those languages are created. But that's their only defense. - Nhprman 22:08, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

They are useful to those interested in other languages, or fluent in them. Wikinfo policy is always more information to the the user. Fred Talk 22:16, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

I tend to delete those when importing Wikipedia articles over here, but feel that the right way to do it would be to eventually import /those/ here, as well... if there were time. I may put that in as a side project, eventually, or intend to, eventually. Will Dockery 05:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I just made a first try at importing a German translation, a short one I called David Blue (German), have a look and see if this is the way it need to be done... looks like I'll follow through on a couple more. If something needs to be done, I'll check back on the changes that are made and learn from those...Will Dockery 05:26, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Move tab

I once had "Move" tab, but it disappeared. Can you restore it to my account? I want to put all articles about Greek letters in consistent naming scheme such as "Name (letter)". CBMIBM 14:32, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

OK, I've manually made you an autoconfirmed user (You had not made enough edits). Fred Talk 17:41, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I made today 30 edits and still don't have "Move" tab. CBMIBM 19:30, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Certainly it should work now. Don't get carried away... Fred Talk 19:36, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

User:Judyta

I noticed that User:Judyta did similar disrupting edits against my Greek original research contributions both in Wikipedia and Wikinfo:

MrHedless has Nojudith.jpg in his contributions. Local user is called Judyta.

As you see, there are two commons between these two users. From my former experience in Wikipedia I know that this user was very disrupting against me, under various names, and used my original research contributions to indirectly ban me from Wikipedia, in which he succeeded. He went after me to Wikinfo, and tried again such disruptions. CBMIBM 19:26, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

He made a few edits. That is no reason to change his user page and then protect it. You can't be on such a short fuse and have sysop powers. Your original research is welcome here, but people can still edit it. Fred Talk 19:33, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Excuse for that protection. Hopefully sysop powers are no longer needed for me. I already corrected all article names of Greek letters. But you will see that this user will soon become problematic again. I know that very good from my Wikipedia experience. CBMIBM 19:37, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Maybe, but probably not. Several of our sysops were "trouble" on Wikipedia. The rules are much looser here and what can get you in big trouble there will make you a star here. Fred Talk 20:45, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

I think that he can still make many serious trouble, because he admitted recently on his userpage that he is Chechen Muslim fanatic: User:Judyta I feel that he wants to be sysop for purpose of blocking me here, because he hates Christianity. As you see, my block against him was fully justified. He even admitted this in description of his userpage edit: "CBMIBM was right. I'll stop hiding." CBMIBM 08:01, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, let's just wait and see. He's welcome here to write all about the virtues of Islam and Chechnya and about how awful Christianity is. He never had to hide here anyway. Let's wait and see. The basis rule here is, whatever happens elsewhere, if you edit appropriately here according to our principles, you're OK. Fred Talk 09:01, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

New bureaucrats

Have you thought of making someone else into a bureaucrat? That way the Wiki can carry on if you are sick. I've seen what happened to Liberapedia when its founder left. I helped struggle to protect Liberapedia when there were too few sysops. Liberapedia has saved itself at Wikia. I'm sure you won't just leave Wikinfo. At your age there coulod be an accident. Proxima Centauri 16:35, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes we need to do more than just name a bureaucrat. Hopefully someone will come along who we can depend on. Fred Talk 18:00, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps you can find someone who you know offline. Do you have family or friends who you can trust? I see your problem. I don’t think I’m the type you want. I’d be inclined to limit material favourable to Scientology for more than you are for example. I’d also feel that one article on Wipipedia is enough. Perhaps there can be a few. We don’t need a large category dealing with different types of bondage sex toys. Perhaps you can consider who among people you know offline is suitable. Offline you see people’s facial expressions and body language. You understand them far better. Proxima Centauri 15:15, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

I suggest asking advice from people you've known and trusted a long time. Proxima Centauri 09:23, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

You may delete the article on Wipipedia and any and all SM articles at your pleasure. Fred Talk 17:11, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

I'd advise a discussion about the S and M articles first. I believe Taxwoman put a lot of effort into them, and they have been here for a long time. If someone found them offensive, why didn't they say so earlier?AaronCarson 19:20, 28 September 2008 (UTC)Never mind, I should have read the whole archive before I said anything. I see there has been some discussion. AaronCarson 19:29, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

China articles

Hello Fred,

The articles rearrange the material from the China-related articles on Wikipedia. As such each article contains material from several Wikipedia articles. What is the best way to note this? --ideogram 15:53, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Use Template:Wikifrom for each article with a different title and Template:Wiki or Template:WikiS for each article with the same title. An article should give credit to each article it uses material from. Fred Talk 07:39, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Policy issue

Fred, what are you going to do if people start disagreeing about what the user should see when they type in "China"? --ideogram 17:21, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Create multiple articles for each viewpoint. Fred Talk 07:40, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

All of a sudden

I'm back on. wohooo! The first thing I'm going to do is copy my articles. I don't know what happened. I didn't do anything and today, I'm back on, rarin to go. WHEELER 23:21, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I saw you too there couple of days and I was pleasently surprised, I'm glad to see old nicks and people I've had relations with here again. I wish I could say the same for me, but time's pressing. Well, just thought I'd welcome your comeback, love your work! Anime addict 03:50, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Need a favor

I remember awhile ago, some two years ago, I looked up gaming the system on Wikipedia and it was quite a long article IF my memory serves me right. I went back there yesterday, and the article is only a paragraph. Then, today, I checked the history of the article and it has only a very short history and started March 2008. I believe the Old history and the Old article is gone! Am I right that there is another older article there somewhere in the archives? If so, could you pull it up for me? Thanks.WHEELER 23:59, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Deleted versions are simply redirects. I think you probably want this. Fred Talk 03:21, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I guess that was the article I saw.WHEELER 23:35, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
