== Technology report ==

I'm not sure I'll have time to complete the technology report.  It now needs to be done by Sunday night (North America time) or early Monday UTC.  If you (or Jake) are interested in writing it this week, please do and it would be appreciated.  Otherwise, I can try to find some time. --[[User:Aude|Aude]] <small>([[User talk:Aude|talk]])</small> 13:20, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

;<big>From the Judges</big>
We have 31 days left, just one month left in the first round. The first two months have already produced spectacular results, and we're hoping to see a great race to the end of the round. Get those nominations in for them to count for this round, but remember that any nominations that are not promoted before the end of this round, will still count for round two if you make it. We unfortunately had another contestant, What!?Why?Who?, withdraw this week and we wish them the best.

We saw some big jumps in content upgrades this week! We saw 33 new good articles, 3 new featured articles and lists, 8 featured pictures, 5 featured sounds, and 24 did you know items. (Also note, there are 111 good articles and 222 did you know items as of this newsletter). Keep it up during the final push to round two. <small><span style="border:1px solid #660000;padding:1px;">[[User_talk:Garden|<font style="color:white ;background:#660000;">&nbsp;'''GARDEN'''&nbsp;</font>]]</span></small>, <font face="cursive">'''[[User:IMatthew|<span style="color:#007BA7">iMatthew</span>]] // [[User talk:IMatthew|<span style="color:#960018">talk</span>]]'''</font>, and [[User:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;">'''The'''</span>]][[User_talk:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:black;"> '''Helpful'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;"> '''One'''</span>]]

== Question about a deletion ==

As I'm not a Wikipedian (or whatever the proper word is for those who know what they're doing at Wikipedia), I hope I'm putting this in the right place. Would have preferred to contact you via email, but looks like that's not an option?

I was notified by a bunch of readers over the weekend that the Wiki entry for myself (Brad Friedman of The BRAD BLOG) had been removed for some reason. In trying to figure out why, I was able to figure out that any such "deletion review" should begin with contacting whoever seemed to delete it, which seems to have been you. Hope I'm right (as mentioned, not a Wikepedian!)

Anyway, as they were flummoxed, so was I. In trying to figure out why that entry was deleted, I checked other colleagues of mine, who do similar work (Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo, Mike Malloy of The Mike Malloy Show, Cenk Uyger of The Young Turks Show, for example) and find them all still listed. So not clear why the article describing me had been removed.

As mentioned, I don't know much about Wiki or Wiki editing, etc., but I do know that a number of articles which concerned me, or stories that I either broke or was personally involved in, were among those that were edited by a number of the corporations and individuals found to have been gaming the Wikipedia a year or so ago. I'll hope that had nothing to do with whatever effort was taken to remove my entry, but I don't know.

There are many articles around Wiki which still link to "my" now-deleted page, as they refer to various stories that I was either personally involved in, broke in the media (on a blog, in a magazine, on TV or radio etc.), and yet the entry is now deleted for some reason. 

If you are able to either explain the reasons for that, or walk me through/towards the "deletion review" process which, as I read it, is supposed to start with you first, I'd very much appreciate it. 

All easier for me via email, if you're able, at Brad@BradBlog.com. If not, I can try to come back here to see if I can make heads and/or tails of things.

Appreciate your help and/or consideration (if only so that I can answer all the email I now seem to be getting about the entry where I was listed having been deleted for whatever reason. I'm sure it's no conspiracy, I'm just not sure why or what to tell folks about it, particulary, as I said, since it seems that many of my fellow colleagues -- journalists, media folks, etc. -- remain listed.) For the record, my own personal brief "bio" and testimonials from many well known media folks and public officials, if that's useful, is at http://www.bradblog.com/bio, and should, I think, speak well enough for my credentials.

Thanks again for your help here!

P.S. I don't whether its appropriate for a person who is the subject of an article, to ask about such things him/herself but, well, see above.

:It was deleted per consensus at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brad Friedman]]. Enough people there decided that it should be deleted. If you want to contest it, bring it to [[WP:DR]].

Okay, thanks X. The deletion review seemed to be very quick, and short on opinions. But as the deletion contest instruction said to try to work it out with the editor who deleted it first, I wanted to do due diligence there. Sounds like I should now ask at the deletion contest review area. Will do.

<s>Apparently I've been suspended because I dropped request 24280. I've been requested to join IRC and explain my dropping of that case but no one appears to be in. Firstly, I had perfectly valid reasons (or what I thought were good reasons) for dropping that account, and secondly it's the only bad move I've made in my hundreds of account creations. Could you help find out why I was blocked immediately for this, rather than someone just initiating discussion which would seem far more rational and in proportion? —'''[[User:Cyclonenim|Cyclonenim]]''' ([[User talk:Cyclonenim|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Cyclonenim|contribs]] · [[Special:EmailUser/Cyclonenim|email]]) 11:31, 10 March 2009 (UTC)</s>

On (at least) two instances, the bot actually killed the reference rather than repairing it. <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Logan_Young&diff=274846278&oldid=265433784 Logan Young edit], [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Alabama_Crimson_Tide_football&diff=274846272&oldid=274751954 Alabama Crimson Tide football edit].</span> <small>&ndash; <span style="border:1px solid #000;padding:1px;">&nbsp;[[User:Latics|<font style="color:#990000;">'''LATICS'''</font>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Latics|<font style="color:#fff;background:#990000;">&nbsp;talk&nbsp;</font>]]</span></small> 06:21, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

*Your bot keeps on breaking links - I've had to fix [[Keith_Law#External_links]] twice now.  [[User:Wickethewok|Wickethewok]] ([[User talk:Wickethewok|talk]]) 16:31, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
**My bot has not been running since last night. It broke some links due to a typo. I'm not sure what links need to be fixed anymore, and because they're all too different, I'm not able to run the bot to fix it.

***Can't a search be done on Wikipedia for links with "expn" in them? It shouldn't be a problem to code something to replace all expns with espns. I doubt there are many legitimate things with "expn" in them.

== Exclusion compliant? ==

Hi<br>What's the trick to get SoxBot II to stay off my user sub page [[User:Amalthea/test2]]? The page is part of a redirect loop I've set up as an example for a [[WP:VPR]] discussion.<br>Reverting the bot didn't bother him, putting {{tlx|nobots}} on the page wasn't enough either (despite his assertion that "this bot is exclusion compliant"). I've tried protection now, and am hoping that it doesn't have the sysop-flag set. :)<br>I realize that the page shows up on [[Special:DoubleRedirects]] and I'll blank the pages once the discussion is gone.<br>Cheers, [[User talk:Amalthea|<span style="font-family:Verdana;font-variant:small-caps;color:#823824;font-weight:normal">Amalthea</span>]] 18:38, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
:Fixed. Evidently, Chris's classes didn't have exclusion compliancy. I'll have to go port it to Pillar framework now.

;<big>From the Judges</big>
I think it's safe to say that this week is probably your last chance to nominate anything for promotion to count in this round, so start planning that all-important final push.  Bear in mind that anything not promoted this month will still count in the next round if you go through.  It's looking very close in the Wildcards section, so if you don't see yourself there, don't panic&mdash;you may not be too far off the pace! <small><span style="border:1px solid #660000;padding:1px;">[[User_talk:Garden|<font style="color:white ;background:#660000;">&nbsp;'''GARDEN'''&nbsp;</font>]]</span></small>, <font face="cursive">'''[[User:IMatthew|<span style="color:#007BA7">iMatthew</span>]] // [[User talk:IMatthew|<span style="color:#960018">talk</span>]]'''</font>, and [[User:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;">'''The'''</span>]][[User_talk:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:black;"> '''Helpful'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;"> '''One'''</span>]]

Hi 

Winner of the '07 10th place and '08 2nd place in the Hare Krishna Temple Book Marathon

== SoxBot not operating correctly on double redirects to a subhead: ==

Hi your bot did this edit to fix the double redirect: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=MVRP&oldid=277620481

But this wasn't quite right:

Before:

*'''MVRP''' redir'd -> '''Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol'''
*'''Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol''' -> '''Multiple Registration Protocol#Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP)'''

The SoxBot dropped the fact that it redir'd to a subhead, which is actually important. -- [[User:KelleyCook|KelleyCook]] ([[User talk:KelleyCook|talk]]) 17:39, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

== An opinion required ==

Hey up. I was just pondering the question of whether, if I wanted to become an admin (which I do), whether it would be best to file an RfA soon (1-2 weeks) or put it off (1-2 months). As a responsible admin - and one familiar with some of the stuff I've been up to lately - I was hoping you could help. The advantage of sooner rather than later would be that I am currently very enthusiastic about the project, and I really want to make a difference in admin areas, particularly SDs, bot matters (e.g. blocking, category tidy up) and to a lesser extent AfDs and templates. The downside is that certain cruel, cruel admins won't be able to see past the numbers, which I feel are good enough, at the very least. Anyhow, if you could advise - or even stretch to a personal opinion, I would be most grateful. - [[User:Jarry1250|Jarry1250]] <sup>([[User_talk:Jarry1250|t]], [[Special:Contributions/Jarry1250|c]])</sup> 18:58, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

== SoxBot X not working ==

Just in case you didn't notice my message [[User_talk:X!/Sox_Commons#SoxBot_X_not_working|here]], SoxBot X hasn't run in over a month. Is it broken, or did you disable it? [[User:Wronkiew|Wronkiew]] ([[User talk:Wronkiew|talk]]) 06:57, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
:Sorry, hope you feel better soon. [[User:Wronkiew|Wronkiew]] ([[User talk:Wronkiew|talk]]) 14:24, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

== Adminstats (again) ==

Are you intending to keep this going, or was it just a one off? Hope you can get it working again, as it's a useful tool. Thanks.&nbsp;—&nbsp;[[User:Tivedshambo|<span style="color:#7F0000">'''&nbsp;Tivedshambo&nbsp;'''</span>]]&nbsp;([[User Talk:Tivedshambo|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/Tivedshambo|c]]) 22:41, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
:Just seen the note at the top of this page - hope you're over it soon.

== Double redirects no longer need to be fixed ==

The latest version of MediaWiki finally handles them with no problem.  "Fixing" some of these is undesirable in some cases, such as where the first target page is a "redirect with possibilities" — that is, where it is intended that there will be an article there in the future, and the redirect is just a placeholder until then.  &nbsp;–[[User:Radiojon|radiojon]] ([[User talk:Radiojon|talk]]) 23:35, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
== Technology report and Abuse Filter ==

I'm not completely done with either (I may think of things to add and copyedit), but here are drafts of the technology report and a special story about the Abuse Filter.  If you can think of anything to add or changes to make, please do so.

Just a reminder that auto-signatures don't work in the abuse filter notes. You'll need to write out your name normally, which is two fewer keystrokes. [[User:Stifle|Stifle]] ([[User talk:Stifle/wizard|talk]]) 09:59, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

== Old sock block, requesting unblock... was there a checkuser? ==

See [[User talk:Myklroventine]], who was blocked as a sock of [[User:Donaldleegraham]].  Could you point me to the evidence?  I assume there was a checkuser or something.  I am inclined to decline, as they waited more than 6 months to request an unblock, which looks supicious.  Could you at least point me to the sock evidence, however, so I have something to go on?  Either a checkuser or DUCK evidence would be cool... --[[User:Jayron32|Jayron32]].[[User talk:Jayron32|<small>talk</small>]].[[Special:Contributions/Jayron32|<small>contribs</small>]] 00:57, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

You failed to give a rationale for your closure.  Please add your rationale. [[User:Uncle G|Uncle G]] ([[User talk:Uncle G|talk]]) 19:28, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
*Do I need to? I closed it because it appeared that it was more of a personal essay than an article, and that there were not a whole lot of keep votes (Excluding merge votes). [[User:X!|<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;color:steelblue;">'''X'''</span>]][[User talk:X!|<span style="color:steelblue;"><small>clamation point</small></span>]] 20:05, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
**It seems to me that rationales are optional, but that's just my opinion. &ndash;[[User:Juliancolton|Juliancolton]] [[User talk:Juliancolton|<font color="#66666"><sup>'''T'''alk</sup></font>]] '''·''' [[Wikipedia:Editor review/Juliancolton 3|<font color="#66666"><sup>'''R'''eview</sup></font>]] 20:32, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
***One shouldn't consider them optional.  A clear closure rationale allows others to understand a closure.  There are some closing administrators who regularly omit rationales, and as a direct consequence they receive no end of hassle from people asking "Why did you do that?".  A clear rationale heads that off before it even starts.  "{{tls|afd top}} <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>" is easy to type, but that's pretty much all that's good that one can say about it.  A good closure adds a rationale between the substitution and the signature.  It saves time and effort in the long run.  [[User:Uncle G|Uncle G]] ([[User talk:Uncle G|talk]]) 09:57, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
**You ''certainly'' do when you misunderstand merger to be deletion, as you've done here.  ☺  Merger is a simple variant of keeping, as the [[Wikipedia:Guide to deletion#Recommendations and outcomes]] explains.  Think about it:  How do you expect people to perform the merger that they opine if you delete the edit history and thus make it inaccessible to them?  If an action could be enacted even by an editor without an account, with the few tools that such an editor has, then it's an ordinary editorial action, that doesn't require us to exercise our administrator tools. [[User:Uncle G|Uncle G]] ([[User talk:Uncle G|talk]]) 09:57, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
***If you disagree with the closure, feel free to bring it up at DRV if you want. I won't mind. 
***Also, if you go to past logs from 6-7 days ago, you'll see that almost every single AfD was closed without a rationale. [[User:X!|<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;color:steelblue;">'''X'''</span>]][[User talk:X!|<span style="color:steelblue;"><small>clamation point</small></span>]] 10:49, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
****That doesn't make them good closures.  Take a look at the talk pages of some of the administrators who regularly make rationale-free closures.  Don't follow bad examples because you think that "everyone else is doing it".  For starters, everyone else is ''not'' doing it.  Some administrators ''do'' provide good closures, and there are a few administrators over the years whose closures are examples to learn from. [[User:Uncle G|Uncle G]] ([[User talk:Uncle G|talk]]) 12:31, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
*****If I feel that it's close enough, and does not warrent a relist, I will usually provide a rationale. This was an exception, and I probably should have provided a rationale. I apologize for this. I would not be offended at all if a DRV was opened.

;<big>From the Judges</big>

What a brilliant finale to Round 1.  With so little in it it was always going to be a tight contest, particularly in the all-important wildcard places.  Congratulations to all those who have made it to Round 2, and commiserations to all who have been eliminated.  I hope you continue to contribute as fully as you have been in the tournament, if not better!

As has been stated before, Round 2 begins '''Wednesday, April 1 2009.'''  I hope you are all ready!

==SoxBot II==
I noticed this account delivering lots of Signposts on my watchlist, and I wondered why it didn't have a bot flag at present when the logs show that it had one in the past.  Just curious - any particular reason?  Regards, [[User:Bencherlite|Bencherlite]][[User talk:Bencherlite|<i><sup>Talk</sup></i>]] 21:22, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
:If it has a bot flag, the "new messages" message does not activate. I made this mistake last week, and the bar did not highlight.
