About maintained

Hey Drini, I was wondering if you had any opinions on the {{Maintained}}, see Template_talk:Maintained and discussion on Templates_for_deletion. If you do, I for one would be keen to hear them. Best regards, Pete.Hurd 18:58, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Himno Nacional Mexicano

Zscout370 here. I'm still missing from EN, but I want to ask you if the recordings of the Mexican anthem at http://www.presidencia.gob.mx/mexico/?contenido=15008#mexico_simbolos_himno are in the public domain. If so, I want to upload a few recordings to the Commons. Thanks. 68.8.237.154 02:20, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Permaculture

Hi Drini. We need someone to look over Permaculture, and I guess referee a little. Don’t know if you would be interested or not. Right now it has a –NPOV- tag on it that appears to me to be fine to take down, but another opinion is needed.

The other editor is a guy named Sholto Maud User:Sholto Maud. He seems to have fights going on on multiple fronts, mostly relating to trying to connect almost everything under the sun to Howard T. Odum. (Well, maybe it would be better to say that he has had multiple fights over the last month, not all at this time – its just Permacultures turn it seems)

I haven’t even suggested to him yet that an outside referee is needed, so I would understand if you wanted to avoid jumping into the fire at this time, I may be asking for a referee prematurely, not real sure about that..

The relevant discussion about the tag is at Talk:Permaculture Neutrality. And about Odum in the next section right after Neutrality, which I just added. Thanks much for any help or advice Brimba 06:13, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'd try, but right now I'm traveling for holidays, besides the fact I?m not very knowledgeable on the subject, therefore I will decline for now. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 18:32, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

RE: rfa page

Heh...no problem. I was just thinking about my old RfA and saw that it changed to someone elses. I was gonna ask you why it changed, but i just reverted it anyway. Thunderbrand 06:23, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, as I said, I was removing instances of

no soruce notified reversal error

Er, sorry about that; I apparently reversed the order of uploader and notifier in that image. I'd tagged a lot of BANi's, I'm checking now if I reversed any other ones. JesseW, the juggling janitor 07:39, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!!

Albanians...

Why were my additions to the Albanians page deleted? They were true, valid contributions. I added more to symbolism, an explanation of why the current Albanian flag is used. Plus, I added another prominent non-Albanian that studies the Albanian language.

Can you please give me an explanation and explain what I must do in order to successfully contribute to this encyclopedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shqype (talk • contribs)

Well I don't think adding that lisas cool it's a very good contribution. Here's the diff [4] and although albaninas are amazing, I don't thikn that was a very encyclopedic statement [5]. SO I rolledback, unfortunately I missed that you had done several contribs on a row and they were all undone. Perhaps you could reinstate onlly the encyclopedic contributions. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 07:16, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, for that I am very sorry, my younger sister is rather immature (She's the "Lisa" that wrote that). We were using a cable router, thus the same IP/internet connection. She was scolded but her actions were enough to get my legitimate additions deleted. I will reinstate the legitimate encyclopedic contributions. I'm sorry for any trouble that may have been caused. -- ( User:Shqype )

I see.

I appreciate your feedback and help. As you can probably guess, this is my first redirect. I embarked on this project knowing it would be my most ambitious new article but not anticipating how new article patrol would ignore my edit note and nominate the first save for AfD.

Writing under scrutiny of AfD has made this difficult task harder. I've never doubted that the article would be kept. Yet the process exposed the work in progress to exactly the attention I'd hoped to avoid. This subject demands a tasteful and balanced approach. No early draft can hope to meet that standard.

This AfD abused both my good faith and the readers'. It gave editors who were most able to make positive contributions a misleading impression about the value of doing so. The overwhelming positive votes do not compensate for that loss. Durova 07:47, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well from what I see the article will be kept. However I sympathize with you. AFD is a really stressing process If you need assistance, I'm usually around and you can request assistance from me. (however I'll be away a couple of days from next tuesday and rest of week). Try not to become discouraged, and I apologize if I was a little bit too short on my explanation, it's jsut that I'm already tired at this time of the day, after lot of cleaning up during the daytime. Cheer up and keep the good work with your articles!! -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 07:51, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In case you have a unix shell available, there's also a python bot to monitor vandalism that can be left unattended (and it's also portable to any OS where python is ported) -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 16:43, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Another alternative

I'm interested in everything related to vandalism fighting. I have access to unix shell. Can you tell me more about that python bot? Thanks. -- lijealso 17:53, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

PS.:(I also use CDVF)

Well, User:Pgk is developing the new bot, it's done in python. I have almost a packaged to unzip and run out-of-the-box, but due me not having much access until 2nd week of january, I don't have it right now. Basically you need these dependencies:

Twisted.words from http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/words
Twisted words depends on Twisted.core: [6]

above packages are the ones who handle the raw irc stuff. Twisted.core depends on Zope.interface which you may or may not have. In any case, you can get it from

Zope.interface [7]

It's a bot designed to run unattended (so it doesn't ned a gui program like mIRC, it can run within a detached screen. You only need to do a minor configuration before running it, which will be included in the package I'm making. I'll drop you a note as soon as I finish it. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 21:02, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
