New messages notice at top of talk page

edit
Latest comment: 14 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hello. I would just like to inform you that the "new messages" section near the top of your talk page is slightly confusing initially to an experienced user, and significantly confusing to a new user, as it looks like an actual message. I would like to suggest that you place that notice at the very top of your talk page inside a message box, such as an {{mbox}}. -- IRP ☎ 00:21, 2 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

I hate those boxes things, and the first section of my talk page (as is evident by the responses to it) is an inside joke. Thank you for your concern with how I manage my talkpage, but I fear your concern is misplaced, because by virtue of it being my talk page, I'll manage it how I want (including inside jokes being propagated on it). Regards, Daniel (talk) 00:24, 2 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
It was only a suggestion for improvement. Thank you. -- IRP ☎ 00:28, 2 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Images in Nobel Prize

edit
Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hello,

I'm thinking about nominating the Nobel Prize article for the second time to FA. Last time images were a main problem but most of it has been fixed now. However, me and licensing etc don't go well together. I saw you were an OTRS administrator so I figured you might perhaps be good with licensing and images? If you can help me the problems are located on Talk:Nobel Prize. It is mainly the image File:NobelPrize.JPG that has a problem. It needs a second license (see talk page) which I don't know how to fix.

Are you able to help me? --Esuzu (talk • contribs) 15:56, 14 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Daniel and copyright don't mix. This point of copyright law can be seen as contentious, in the differing copyrights between 2D and 3D objects. However, based on consensus at Wikimedia Commons, the 3D object (in this case, File:NobelPrize.JPG) is the one in public domain. File:Logo of the Nobel prize.jpg seems to be still under fair use, based on the tags on it. Therefore, use File:NobelPrize.JPG to illustrate the article. —Dark 11:05, 15 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

OTRS tags

edit
Latest comment: 14 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hi, Daniel. :) I noticed User:Ironholds had used {{PermissionOTRS}} for an article at Talk:Gaussig House and just popped by to explain to him why this is not ideal. He says that you had told him the template to use, so I figured I'd pop by here as well. :) Besides not specifying the source (which can be a problem if somebody imports text from other sources and people presume that the material is also clear), it doesn't allow for specification of license, so when you get a single license source like that one we don't let our reusers know per WP:REUSE that GFDL is disallowed. While I find {{ConfirmationOTRS}} a bit frustrating (why does that one require an "otrs" parameter instead of an "id"?), it's really best for articles. {{PermissionOTRS}} is (at least according to its usage notes) meant for files.

Of course, you may know all this and it may have just been a miscommunication, but I thought I'd let you know. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:08, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I was reading off the guide on OTRSwiki...is that out of date? Daniel (talk) 01:50, 13 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
I guess so. But maybe that's why I used to use {{PermissionOTRS}} for text. We probably should update it. But this is probably my last post before a two week vacation. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:21, 13 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

It was decided by consensus, taking into account sensitive real world issues communicated with the subject via OTRS, that the article would remain a redirect to TP. I suggest incorporating a smaller version of the text there. Regards, Daniel (talk) 08:02, 9 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
I am thoroughly baffled. The Sonja Elen Kisa page exists in all the (12) namespaces listed above. What can be so sensitive as to preclude an English page?
Hpvpp (talk) 06:16, 13 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
The English Wikipedia lacked the technical ability to prevent the repeated inclusion of remarks about her sexuality (among other unencyclopedic and poorly-referenced material), to which she was the _target of a protracted campaign to defame her character originating with real-word acquaintances, and the consensus was to merge and protect to resolve the issue (given she was of borderline notability and there was an obvious _target for a merge). Daniel (talk) 11:10, 13 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
I am dismayed that this technical ability is available elsewhere and not on the English site, but I presume someone is working on it and that Sonja will get her page then. Anyway, you can close this discussion. Thanks for the update.
Hpvpp (talk) 00:44, 14 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
It isn't available on the other wikis; more, it's a case that the people continuing this character-assassination on her can't speak the other languages. Hopefully with flagged revs coming in soon, this will be remedied. Thanks for your understanding. Daniel (talk) 02:47, 14 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
Hi Daniel, just came across this after following a couple of talk page links. Now that we have pending changes or whatever we are calling it, do you think it would be OK to set Level 2 or higher flagged revisions protection and restore this article? I don't really have an interest either way, I'm just idly wondering. NW (Talk) 09:58, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
Yeah probably, level 2 is exactly what it needed. To be honest I don't understand the bureaucratic nuances of the current PCP test, so if you would be so kind as to set the PCP up and fill in the paperwork, that'd be great. Daniel (talk) 15:06, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure if we are allowed to use Pending Protection until next week for some reason, actually. I'll turn it on anyway so I don't forget, but I think we should probably wait a week before restoring the article. NW (Talk) 07:08, 18 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

McKenzie AfD

edit
Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Not that I think that anything different should be done, but please be aware that Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Basketnews/Archive linked to evidence in the AfD you have oversighted. While it now seems to be clear that McKenzie was not involved, it also seems to be clear that some media promotion group was, and I am pretty sure that they have more socks and may possibly be promoting other sports figures/agents on Wikipedia. Someone may want to go through the deleted article and see if they can identify these additional socks and perhaps gather from that what other articles may be involved. Yworo (talk) 18:36, 8 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Anyone else is free to do so. Hunting down socks in a case I'm not involved in isn't something I want to be using my limited wiki-time doing, sorry. Regards, Daniel (talk) 03:13, 9 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

OTRS and the pending changes trial

edit
Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi Daniel - you or another OTRS admin might want to comment here, where I raise the question of whether or not to include semi-protected articles with OTRS tickets on them in the trial process. Thanks. Risker (talk) 08:28, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

I sent a link to our admins mailing list - I confess the trial has generally left me confused, so hopefully someone who has been following it more closely than I will be able to pitch in. Cheers for the heads-up, Daniel (talk) 15:11, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
