Hey Shubs, JamieS93 and I have both talked about nominating you for RfA, and she said you were interested but would be away after December 27. So I guess we wouldn't be able start anything until after then (I meant to contact you earlier so we could finish before the 27th, but you know how things get this time of year....), but I just wanted to check and see if you would still like to start an RfA sometime after you get back. If you're up for it, I could start the RfA page now so you could answer questions 1-3 at your leisure, and Jamie and I can prepare our nom statements; then we could transclude and start it once you get back. <b class="Unicode">[[User:Rjanag|r< |

Poppyseed oil
DYKcheck says Poppyseed oil has 7941 bytes of prose. Prosesizebytes says 8060. I thought they were supposed to be the same. Art LaPella (talk) 21:29, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
- They were the same until I tweaked DYKcheck to ignore superscripts. Poppyseed oil has 7 "citation needed" tags, each with 17 characters, causing the 119-character difference between the scripts. Dr pda said he'd change prosesize back in September (User talk:Dr pda/archive3#Superscripts counted as prose); maybe he forgot. Shubinator (talk) 01:25, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Great News!!!
Unable to resist bacon's temptations, rogue editors have kicked off the Bacon Challenge 2010 before the New Year even starts! This is a fun and collegial event and all are welcome. There are many non-pork articles for editors who enjoy some sizzle, but object to or don't like messing with pig products. This year's event also includes a Bacon WikiCup 2010 for those who may want to keep score and enjoy engaging in friendly competition. Given the critical importance of this subject matter, I know you will want to participate, so remember to sign up today and get started A.S.A.P. ALL ARE WELCOME!!! The more the merrier.

bot src
Hi Shubinator, I have seen you had some problems with isRedirect() of JWBF? What did you changed ? Eldurloki —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.171.17.168 (talk) 18:28, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi Eldurloki,
I just looked at the JWBF code here, and I don't think .matches() is the method you want; .find() would be more appropriate. I try to stay away from regex if I can; I used
if (article.getText().toLowerCase().indexOf("#redirect") != -1) { // if the article is a redirect
where article is a SimpleArticle. I don't think regex helps here since "#redirect" has to be one string; if there's a space between the "#" and the "redirect", the redirect breaks and it turns into a numbered list. Hope this helps, Shubinator (talk) 05:42, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Source
I found the official source for that information (as opposed to Wiki sourcing). Kevin Rutherford (talk) 21:59, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Clever Bot
Wow what a clever bot the DYK talk page bot is. You must be very proud. Well done Victuallers (talk) 11:19, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks :) Shubinator (talk) 14:51, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Bot glitch
The DYK talk page bot added a line of irrelevant info (about a video game) to Talk:Florence Jaffray Harriman. I can delete the information, but in case it's symptomatic of a broader glitch I thought I'd bring it to your attention and leave it as is for a day or so.Wikijsmak (talk) 13:08, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
- It's a problem with the original formatting of the hook on T:DYK. I've added a warning message to the bot's output for future runs since it seems like a very rare bug. Thanks for the notice! Shubinator (talk) 14:43, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
RfA?
Hey Shubs, JamieS93 and I have both talked about nominating you for RfA, and she said you were interested but would be away after December 27. So I guess we wouldn't be able start anything until after then (I meant to contact you earlier so we could finish before the 27th, but you know how things get this time of year....), but I just wanted to check and see if you would still like to start an RfA sometime after you get back. If you're up for it, I could start the RfA page now so you could answer questions 1-3 at your leisure, and Jamie and I can prepare our nom statements; then we could transclude and start it once you get back. rʨanaɢ talk/contribs 15:41, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

- All right, sounds good! I have started the page at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Shubinator, so you can fill out the questions and let me know when you'd like to transclude it. I'll also inform Jamie, since she wanted to write a nom statement as well. rʨanaɢ talk/contribs 17:26, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

- For the early transclusion of your RfA by Coffee i apologise. I refreshed a tab to check for your answer to Q5 before saving my vote in another tab and saw the votes were undone and your RfA un-transcluded. I look forward to it coming "live" again. :D delirious ☯ ~ happy christmas~ 19:29, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Katerenka
Thanks for updating the userbox. However, I've just decided to set it to when she retired so I don't have to keep updating the damn thing. DX --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds 21:54, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Do you mind if I implement it tomorrow? Shubinator (talk) 01:47, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

dyk note
As a courtesy, this just to say I've removed your message from my page as I had nothing to do with the creation of the Roch page and little more with its editing apart from tweaks. But thanks for letting me know. Regards, Ericoides (talk) 17:41, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- We give out nom credits as well, and that's what you got (after I fixed the bot's error). Thanks for the note, Shubinator (talk) 17:45, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

This barnstar is hereby awarded for your part in the 304 word thread at WP:ERRORS over a single comma! ,,,,! HJMitchell You rang? 01:03, 31 December 2009 (UTC) |
- BTW, highest congrats on your RfA! It gives me faith in the process when such a competent editor as you is promoted! All the best, HJMitchell You rang? 01:03, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
- Must be my lucky day :) Thanks, and hopefully a future RfA from you will have better results...,,,,,,, Shubinator (talk) 01:09, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
- Indeed it must. You're quite welcome and we might see about that in a few months (when I'm feeling masochistic again!) and in the meantime, I'll just come and bug you if I need something!

Block templates
Heya! Try not to use {{uw-ublock}} on editors unless it really is just their username that is problematic. For example, User talk:GenovaDiagnostics isn't just a username issue; it's a conflict of interest issue, as shown by looking at their contributions. Just changing the name of the account won't suffice. {{uw-spamublock}} is more appropriate, and is less likely to confuse the user. (And congrats on your adminship! --jpgordon::==( o ) 01:18, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, ok. I was going off of the block comment which said
{{usernameblock}}
. The blocking admin sometimes uses{{spamusernameblock}}
, but didn't for Genova, so I applied{{usernameblock}}
. I'll keep it in mind for later though, thanks! Shubinator (talk) 01:23, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Congrats
on becoming an admin. the diff you presented was the diff i had in mind. thanks for that, i guess. i was dissapointed how you went awol once gatoclass stuck his nose into the picture, despite the fact that you approved it initially. There was something else, that i just remembered. Here was another incident in which gatoclass yanked an already approved Judaism-related article from the queue. Your coming to his defense was in poor judgement, imo. in any case, you don't have to deal with it now. a vast majority of editors apparently have confidence in your judgment, so i may be wrong. i hope there are no hard-feelings, but i guess i would understand if there was. i guess i can't be surprised if i soon find myself blocked by you :) Good luck, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 06:45, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks! You're right, I sort of intentionally stayed out of the Palestinian Land Law discussion for a while because it became very heated and I didn't have an alternate hook to propose. I actually did run some research on my own for an hour trying to find reliable neutral sources for a few of the proposed hooks. That was the first DYK IP discussion I followed closely (though I should've remembered Lydda Death March), and since then I've reviewed articles from either side more thoroughly (like here). At its core, DYK is a consensus-driven process. We try to satisfy everyone's concerns before featuring an article. Of course, an article can be promoted over someone's objections, but there must be consensus to do so. For the two you mentioned, multiple editors (more than Gatoclass and myself) thought the hook or article wasn't neutral. At DYK, no consensus defaults to delete.
- No hard feelings :) Happy New Year, Shubinator (talk) 16:48, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
