Reviewer

By the way, they are granting reviewer again, I just got it today. You can request it in the section below rollback at WP: PERM.Electriccatfish2 (talk) 22:55, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I asked on the reviwer talk page if they were granting, but never checked if they responded.Dan653 (talk) 00:17, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

I am currently patrolling Special: Logs to look for username violations, and I see that you are marking hiding inappropriate feedback to articles. How can I find the feedback ratings? Electriccatfish2 (talk) 01:07, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

[1] Vote a post up or down; feature good questions, hide the post if its all caps, giberish, lots of repeating characters, has curses in it, or isn't english; mark for oversight if a persons email, website, or phone # is in the post or links to a porn sight. I don't think you have to flag pages as abuse since you can hide them yourself if you are an admin, or have rollbacker/reviewer rights. Dan653 (talk) 01:19, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks so much, the only problem is that it doesn't count as an edit to help your edit count. Regards,Electriccatfish2 (talk) 23:34, 28 June 2012 (UTC).

Ahh, but edit counts don't really matter... Theopolisme_TALK 00:03, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

They mean a lot in RFAs. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 00:47, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

For sure, for sure... I forgot you were applying. Theopolisme_TALK 01:03, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Comment on my page

What article is your comment on my talkpage about? --Cameron Scott (talk) 15:39, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

AFD5 hiding

Hello, Dan. You recently hid the following comment: Special:ArticleFeedbackv5/Megachile/150171. This may be all caps, and may not be ethical, but it is still helpful stuff. I'd recommend hiding spam (fjiorwasngoawr), dumb comments (hi! my email is john@doe.com), and unrelated comments (A comment on Airbus 340 about Justin Bieber). Thank you. --J (t) 00:40, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for letting me know. Dan653 (talk) 19:41, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Re

Hi! I saw that you removed the warning I gave. I reinstated it with a uw-attempt, as that IP triggered the edit filter four times, as seenhere. In the future, please do not remove my warnings without checking both the abuse log and the user's contributions. Thank you,Electriccatfish2 (talk) 22:25, 5 July 2012 (UTC).

My bad Electric, I didn't check the abuse log. Dan653 (talk) 17:09, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi! It's fine. I probably would have done the same as you in that situation. Also, Elizium23's student, Dede2008 got indeffed by Elockid for spamming. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 21:36, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Does elizium know? Dan653 (talk) 22:25, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes. That's how I found out in the first place. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 23:10, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

TruPepitoM

I've noticed a rather disturbing thread forming here - the talk page of my student, no less. I haven't intervened yet or made any comments... but as his instructor, I'm wondering if I should do something. Any advice appreciated, Sarge!Theopolisme _TALK 18:20, 7 July 2012 (UTC) _{TB Please!}

Keep a close eye. He seems to be making veiled attacks right now, but if they become more than that we might have to report him. As said, keep watch, I'll watchlist him too. Dan653 (talk) 00:04, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome :) Dan653 (talk) 21:09, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

AGH! Did you really just mix 'em up? I am APPALLED. Simply appalled. Teehee - kinda joking, but kinda not... Worried about'ya, kid. Theopolisme_TALK 21:12, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Oopsies :P Dan653 (talk) 21:13, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Heh, it don't matta! On another note: Take a look here if you get a chance. Theopolisme _TALK 21:15, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Oh, don't worry commenting on that is already on my things to do list. I got on at 4 trying to catch-up on everything that happened on here and I hope to finish by 5:30. Fun stuff :D Dan653 (talk) 21:18, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Heh, breathe deeply. I'm doing AFT and STiki at the same time, which gets rather interesting when you start trying to use STiki key combos on a piece of feedback - (guilty blush) I literally spent 5 minutes trying to flag something as spam with the "S" key.Theopolisme _TALK 21:22, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Lol Dan653 (talk) 21:24, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

There are shortcuts in STiki? Electriccatfish2 (talk) 22:37, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

I just configured my own in the code. Idk if there are ones built it. Theopolisme_TALK

No, there are no shortcuts built in. Dan653 (talk) 00:04, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Permissions participation

Hi Dan653, I noticed this comment from you on a recent permissions request. While I don't want to discourage you from commenting there, I would like to point out that "endorsement" comments are not recommended for two reasons: 1. they are not helpful for admins who review and approve/decline the requests (no admin will skip making their own review just because someone endorsed; also, a comment such as "looks good to me", something similar to that, or the agreement of that type of comment don't give any insight into why someone should receive a particular userright), and 2. a request for rollback, reviewer, etc. is not a request for adminship, therefore "votes" to support/oppose people are counter-productive and risk turning requests into "mini-RfAs". Also seethis thread, which covers much of what I'm talking about, and this comment from me recently.

This all being said, if you find a reason why a user shouldn't receive a particular userright, such as bad reverts for someone requesting rollback or the creation of unsourced pages for someone requesting autopatrolled, that sort of input is definitely welcomed and very helpful, but if there's nothing wrong with a request, nothing needs to be said! :) I hope this wasn't harsh...it's not meant to be a warning, just a note! Thanks for your help and interest in the area. Best. Acalamari 10:09, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for letting me know. Dan653 (talk) 17:04, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

iPod

Hey, I'm on my iPod and as such have a hard time sending out messages. Would you mind pinging some of the other CVUA'ers and asking them to take a look at the new Enroll page? I'm rather jumpy to get this out! :) Theopolisme_TALK 17:18, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

O, so now I get to be Theo's secretary? Jk. I'll let the people who are on know. Dan653 (talk) 18:30, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Heh. And thanks... secretary Dan. Which reminds me - you ever see Danisnotonfire on YouTube? Random, ik.Theopolisme _TALK 19:41, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Acknowledged. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 00:13, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
