Nominating Good Articles

Hi GoShow. I saw you had manually added Gray Wolf to the Good Article nomination queue. The bot responsible for maintaining the GA process has reverted that addition, but I've added a nomination template to Talk:Gray Wolf with your name and the time of your nomination, so it will be automatically added back into the queue quite soon. If you're nominating other articles for GAN, remember to just add {{subst:GAN|subtopic=}} to the article's talk page, filling in the subtopic, and the rest will be taken care of automatically. Good luck with the article! GRAPPLE X 20:17, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your considerate withdrawal over at the AFD for Beauty and the Beast (2009 film). If you come across such poor film stubs in the future, please feel welcome to ask for input over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film.

The Point Niemti (talk)

The point is most articles used the word immortality is the ability to live forever or be immune from death, doesn't mean you cannot die from anything, if you had enough common sense, then delete the rest of the subcategories, which were added or in main default, otherwise please stop edit warring.--GoShow (...............) 16:19, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What? As immortality in fiction says, the meaning of "immortal" tends to vary. (But I think everyone can agree that an immortal character is someone who just can not die. Just can't. Because is not mortal. Like The Nameless One.) In any case, "Category:Fictional immortals" not only does not explain what the criteria to qualify someone as "immortal", at all, but it's also being considered for deletion. And for a good reason, I guess. Also, Dante (Devil May Cry), for example, does not have "the ability to live forever or be immune from death". He will grow old and die, as he gre up from a newborn baby, and that if something won't kill him first (he's just difficult to kill, not invincible). And yes, fictional demons is a parent category to fictional half-demons, too. --Niemti (talk) 16:34, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There you go, we don't have to argue, let's work this together, and create edits about notable immortals on this site immortality in fiction to see who are truly immortal thank you--GoShow (...............) 16:36, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

...and that's why you've got to add this category on the case-by-case judgement to the various characters, and not stamp it over entire other vast categories. (If it survives the nomination for deletion, that is. And when it gets defined, at all.) --Niemti (talk) 16:42, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Archiving params

Hello GoShow, I noticed that you have setup auto archiving. Three recommendations:

  • Set the counter to 1 so that User talk:GoShow/Archive 1 will be created and not skip to 2
  • You may want to raise the maxarchivesize of 70K to something a bit higher (125K is more average)
  • You have minthreadsleft = 1 but that would only work correctly if you also add the parameter minthreadstoarchive = 1 as the default is to archive two threads. Otherwise, you would toggle between 1 and 3 threads and it would not react as you intended.

Post archive note: Threads that do not have a trailing datestamp or where the datestamp is inside <div> or <span> tags will not be recognized by the bot. You can either manually archive these by cutting and pasting or you can place datestamps (even backdating) to get the bot to archive them. Signposts and barnstars are enclosed in div tags.

Drogo of Hauteville revert

Thanks for the feedback! You're right in that my minor edit didn't add anything to the article, but it did take away a factual error: The original text said that "He had a son, Richard, who joined the First Crusade. Richard's son Roger was later regent of the principality of Antioch." but that is not true. The Richard who joined the First Crusade was the son of William of the Principate, Drogo's brother. His son Roger did become Regent of Antioch but was not a grandson of Drogo. Drogo's real son was Richard of Hauteville who was not involved in the Crusade and (as far as we can tell) did not leave issue, vice-regal or otherwise. Hence, my edit restored the article to truthfulness, though admittedly I did not contribute info on the 'real' Richard. Sorry for the trouble I've given you :)

I am looking into more book sources right now thanks.--GoShow (...............) 17:11, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are books and there are books. A books which is a printed equivalent to ChineseZodiac.com, i.e. a consumer guide to chinese astrology, is going to be just as useless as that website is, because of WP:FRINGE (which I suggest you read). We're an encyclopedia, not a source for horoscopes, so what you need to be looking for are scholarly books or articles which discuss the history and methodology of Chinese astrology without subscribing to it as a method of divination. From that kind of source you can take information about the signs and how their supposed meanings came about, without ascribing factuality to those claims.

What that means is, basically, that most of the material in this articles is still unencyclopedic, and in violation of WP:FRINGE, and will eventually be deleted. Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:59, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I read your comment on WP:RSN and I agree, here's the deal I will delete the comment summaries, other than the calendars I will keep and the attributions, the summaries I will delete, they do seem unbias, however I'll let the people decide on other psudoscience webpages to check if they are those characteristics, other than that I agree, I'll delete the characteristics.--GoShow (...............) 20:12, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Art of Ancient Egypt

Allow me to suggest you are being a bit of a jerk here. The image(which I realize you uploaded) is tiny, of what is presumably a large and detail-packed work, with no proper details or explanation given. What is it actually? It doesn't show reflection symmetry at all (even the central girls are different) unlike many other Ancient Egyptian object images on Commons, and there is anyway no mention of the subject in the article. It just doesn't justify inclusion, even if you like it, and the caption makes it WP:OR, and bad OR at that. Johnbod (talk) 04:22, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

After, the way you edit, you seem a jerk as well, and yes the painting does show symmetry if you look at the center of the painting and not the rest of the inclusion.--GoShow (...............) 04:24, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your request for rollback

Hi GoShow. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Calmer Waters 05:12, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to reiterate about taking it slow with Huggle. It is a very powerful tool to fight vandalism; however, if used badly can create a lot of issues. The biggest tip I can give you that separates a good user from a sloppy user is that it is not a race. I can't state that enough. It is not a race. It may feel like that sometimes, don't fall pray to it. It also differs from Stiki in that the most recent edits may appear in multiple editors' interfaces at the same time rather than just one user with Stiki (leading to the race mentality). Also there are many different choices for things that aren't necessarily vandalism, but may need reverted (with different edit summaries). If you have any questions please ask either myself or one of the experienced users you will see while working Huggle. ...and with that good luck.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Hello, GoShow. I reverted you on this, per my statements in that edit summary. Why did you revert before that? Did your vandalism tool automatically identify it as vandalism or otherwise unconstructive? 118.142.35.126 (talk) 21:53, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nope looks like you vandalised check the last revision;)--GoShow (...............) 15:04, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hopefully, you are referring to the vandalism the IP above committed after my edits as that IP to the EJ DiMera and Sami Brady article. And I state that because that IP's edits to the EJ DiMera and Sami Brady article were not vandalism. It is invalid to revert valid additions because the same IP vandalized a different article. And per what was stated at User talk:118.142.35.126, my reverting you was correct. And I did it again, per that discussion. I was not that IP when the IP vandalized an article after my edits to the EJ DiMera and Sami Brady article. Have you never seen what it says at the bottom of IP talk pages? It says: "Some IP addresses change periodically, and may be shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address."
So bottomline, I was correct to revert you and I did not vandalize any Wikipedia article. Ever. 218.108.168.130 (talk) 01:23, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't need an extra source for anything and have reverted you yet again because I don't. We go by WP:Reliable sources and WP:Verifiability here. The sources state that this storyline was considered rape! The Rape article defines this type of rape as rape! It is not a WP:FRINGE definition of rape, which is why it is in the lead of that article and sufficiently in the lower body of that article. In this case, it was only "voluntary" because the woman was forced to engage in sexual activity. Rape is about a person being forced to engage in sexual activity against his or her will. This was against her will. Do you think that rape only means "physical force"? It does not. And the Rape article makes this very clear. It is not "encyclopedic and appropriate to say coerced and not rape" when it is nothing but a less accurate way of saying "rape." You have no valid reason for reverting, and are only doing so because you have been proved wrong in this case. Revert again, and not only will I revert you again in turn, but report this to an appropriate noticeboard. For now, I am going to ask one of the editors of the Rape article to weigh in here because you have no idea what you are talking about on this subject, definition-wise or Wikipedia guideline/policy-wise. 218.108.168.130 (talk) 02:04, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm getting sick and tired of hearing this stuff differentiating between auto-confirmed editors and IP editors: clearly there are many registered, auto-confirmed accounts that cannot contribute positively, and many IP editors (some of whom I drink beers with on a regular basis) who can. So DROP it. Continuing to rehash those comments about a couple of vandal edits that may or may not have come from the same human being is also not productive. Water under the bridge. Move on.

Rollback and warnings

Apparently, the A. B. is with the IP, although, mistakes are mistakes and they need to move on, thus not I was not even talking about them as vandals, although, they have edit warred during their last revisions as well.

Hi. Your interactions with the anonymous editor at User talk:76.248.149.47‎ led me to start watching your talk page. I've noticed a troubling trend in your use of rollback rights and in your difficulties dealing with anonymous editors (especially in differentiating between vandals and constructive contributors). I urge you to slow down and pay close attention to what you're doing. Please review the following:

Absolutely do not issue any further warning templates unless you are certain the editor is clearly in the wrong. If you find you've made a mistake, immediately acknowledge your mistake and apologize.

What I'm asking you to do is the same stuff I expect of myself as an administrator and what's expected of all editors here, so it should not be hard if you slow down and take some care.

I appreciate your zeal in watching over our content but I hope you'll temper it some. Rollback privileges are a powerful and useful tool; I'd hate to have to revoke yours.

Thomas Weinandy

Here, too, I'm not sure what your rationale was to rollback my edit [5], and to issue a vandalism warning [6]. An apparently COI account twice copied and pasted a curriculum vitae into the article, which is considered disruptive for several reasons, per WP:RESUME. I've again reverted to the non-resume version. 76.248.149.47 (talk) 18:56, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm with the IP on this one, for what it's worth. The CV version of the article was entirely inappropriate, the IP correctly removed it and you should not have restored the CV or warned the IP. Regards, BencherliteTalk 19:08, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I do smell a rat who does want me out of Wikipedia less than a year eventually, bu I do value Wikipedia enough not to quit.

I'm just reviewing, but what I'm saying is I have had users back in the days who tried IP accounts to test myself and hopefully to be blocked from editing, and I hope there is some answer to protect my user page and any files to not come into conflict with many IP users who have probably do have a confirmed account, although won't say it, if not thanks anyway.--GoShow (............................) 21:35, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit war

Hello GoShow. When I was reverting some vandalism I checked the other contributions of 2.29.139.189 and noticed his sole purpose seems to be to disrupt you. He has only made 11 edits, of which were 10 edits reverting you (vandalizing an article again). I've re-reverted the articles so they are okay again, but thought I'd warn you as well.

Why the revert?

Hello GoShow, Why were my changes to the page of Mikhail Barshchevsky were considered as an act of vandalism or didn't appear constructive? All of the information was important (one of the most popular Russian TV games and membership in Russian Academy of Natural Sciences is a great honour). Am I wrong? Thanks,Tatacolt

What is the reason to delete a He out of a complete sentence and to believe it was a good revert edit, I know the user made a mistake, however, putting useful information without a source is a good revert faith edit.--GoShow (............................) 16:41, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Come on. That's grammar, at best, and your own grammar is far from flawless. They added information; they tried. A "good revert faith edit", I don't know what that is. Now, I looked through your recent slew of edits and they all seem to be OK, so I'm willing to chalk this down to user error and not pull your rollback (BTW, Kudpung would agree with rollback removal; I asked him), but you have to be more careful. A mistake is, by definition, not vandalism. I hope that's clear. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 17:06, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, no worries.

P.S. I have this new report about Felix Baumgartner was on the section of WP:RSN about Felix Baumgartner may or may not dive in and I am hoping to add the report on 2012 archives, but it may become sensationalism or may become a world record in time, but I am hoping the efforts in for the additional information may be suitable in some way possible if it happens.--GoShow (............................) 17:07, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A good rule of thumb I use when determining good vs bad faith: If there's ever any doubt about the "faith", then it's good faith until proven otherwise.
A second rule: Never ascribe to malice what can just as easily have resulted from incompetence or carelessness, or in Wikipedia's case, ignorance of:
  • Our hundreds of policies, guidelines and style guideline; here's a brief "summary": List of policies and guidelines
  • Our arcane editing interface and markup language
Vandalism is always about bad faith, not competence. If it's not bad faith, it's not vandalism.
I've been an admin for about 5 years and these guidelines have proven themselves right 99.7% of the time. Any effort trying to figure out which odd edits might be in that other 0.3% was never worth the effort or disruption.

Ma'am, I read your message and clearly understandble and gladly respectfully to you ma'am, I understood the guidelines, and yes it was just a mistake from the IP, possibly the user might have edited back on the part He, or I might have put it back on to complete the sentence without using STiki, other than the situation ma'am no problem, and keep on the counter-vandalism ma'am.--GoShow (............................) 19:01, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies, I can see there are issues about Millennial Generation and the so-called Millennial Generations of Generation X, Y, and Z. I would hope to explain some psuedoscience about the articles of these Generation X, Y, Z would be far fetched to reliable opinions instead of information pertaining to the actual example, in case it may be articles for deletion, since it is guess the outcomes of generations and their traits as comparing to someones future and genetic traits.--GoShow (............................) 21:10, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism or test?

Probably neither. Changing from American to UK spelling, as was done here, isn't vandalism, but most likely a misguided good-faith edit by a user unfamiliar with any other spelling variants than those of his/her own culture. Your revert was correct per WP:ENGVAR, but you shouldn't speak to newbies as if they were vandals. They're sensitive! Instead, please explain the problem in your edit summary (for instance, with a link to WP:ENGVAR). You, and not STiki, are responsible for what the edit summary says.

Yes I use this to test edit counter vandalism, unit but this was the last one already, but this is the only honest user account I have at least two Checkmeleon and Goblins, respectivley are mine, as well as CVU and all the user for a little while but that was it, the rest I seriously don't know who they are from. I did have one along time ago back in 2005, but I turned that down, because I didn't want that user name, however I do live in a College area campus where they share at least two computers in a lobby, which they do use Wikipedia as a source. I know there were IPs which have stalked me on my user page and have vandalized Wikipedia around the campus address. I have been editing respectively, I wish still want edit as many other users try to help with additonal accounts but also test, I know my actions, and my mistakes counter testing, however I am trying to help on Wikipedia as you might see, and I hope to still keep this account to further help edit and counter vandalism.--GoShow (............................) 17:16, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You haven't been using these alternate accounts always to counter vandalism. Sometimes you just create a new one when you do a new project. [7] This is stupid and dangerous. You're lucky not to have been indef blocked. Quit trying to run your own "stings" as a "private citizen" and you won't be mistaken for a common criminal. This is a too-common defense of real criminals, you know. Just stop this or risk being booted off for WP:STUPIDITY. SBHarris 18:08, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

January 2013

You have been blocked from editing for a period of a fortnight for abusing multiple accounts, as  Confirmed by checkuser at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/GoShow. The checkuser also confirmed that the underlying IP was not a college IP as you claimed. Because this is the first time, this is a temporary block, but if this happens in the future, it will be indefinite. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:49, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

GoShow (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

This is a college IP and yes multiple users have been used the labs multiple times, but remember there are confirmed users who do use multiple accounts some for the common good, some for test edit to vandalize, but if you wish to block this edit do so, as I did have a former adminship from over the last 8 years, while moving to another state, however I do respect for Reaper Eternal and SB Harris whom I have seen over the last five years, respectively admired by the user's performance for pointing it out as it had happened, but as of this moment this account will be finished, I do have older accounts such as User: NaiPiak and must go to my orignal account, there are administrative and confirmed users which have multiple accounts in any occasion though I will not say, but I respect the test vandalism used in this function, this will be the last edit for this account and wish the best for editing.

Decline reason:

I'm declining for three reasons. First, your story about being on a college IP seems to be false based on technical evidence. Second, you admitted to at least a few sockpuppets. And finally, you're saying you won't use this account anymore anyway, so there's no point in unblocking you. Just an FYI, if your intention is to edit using yet another account, think again, as you can see we've been able to catch you at it. -- Atama頭 22:12, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Um, the above appears to use English words, but I cannot parse it in such a way as to actually determine the overall meaning...it appears to say that you're not asking for unblock? (✉→BWilkins←✎) 20:17, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Also, the IP you are editing from does not appear to be a college IP at all. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 20:24, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
