NOTICE TO ALL USERS

Please place any comments you wish to make at the BOTTOM of the talk page. Thank you Barts1a (talk) 00:52, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

What vandalism is

Please review WP:VAND – All three of your latest reports to AIV were inappropriate (though I did handle one anyway). Remember, vandalism does not include username violations or content disputes. Those should be directed to WP:UAA and WP:ANEW, respectively. Thanks, Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 00:51, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Sorry 'bout that

Sorry Barts1a....new to wiki's and the open source environment in general...didn't mean to create any issues. You guys are really on the ball though :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mgonzaleswmf (talk • contribs) 01:34, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

No worries. Glad to see you have a username! And in future: Please sign your talk page posts with four tildes (~~ ~~ (Without spaces)) so it is easier to see who the message came from. Thanks! Barts1a (talk) 01:41, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Editing while logged out

This was rather foolish of you. In the future, if you have something to say about someone that isn't nice you should probably just not say it rather than log out then post from your IP address. I think you're just as guilty of not understanding WP:STICK as Ling.Nut if you're going to behave like this. Killiondude (talk) 09:06, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

And yet he claims to understand it fully on your talk page, and has even admitted to wanting to "catch me now". If I was making these posts I would most likely have been blocked for at least 24 hours by now! Barts1a (talk) 22:47, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

• Knock knock! This is my last post to your talk page. When I said "catch him now" I didn't mean "catch you doing something wrong, so I can watch him get punished". No... You completely misjudge me. I bear you no ill will. None. Zero-point-zero. In fact, I hope you do well.. live long and prosper, so to speak. Best of luck, and may all good things happen to you... I seriously am not kidding. "Catch him now" meant... I hope my stubbornness can be a wake-up call that will help you correct this short-sighted and counterproductive fear of admitting that you are wrong (and subsequently, apologizing). I seriously do predict that you will pass an RfA about 6 months from now with flying colors . But seriously. Good luck in all things! I won't post here any more; I know I am bothering you. • Ling.Nut (talk) 00:33, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Your revert to page at Tom Cruise

This was not vandalism. Please, do not do this again. Thank you, -- Cirt (talk) 16:02, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Although when someone else does it, they will be personally thanked instead of reverted (and you will be again chided by implication). Ain't life grand? Delicious carbuncle (talk) 20:14, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

And by the same user... I'm starting to smell some bias here... Barts1a (talk) 22:48, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Yeah. Compare this edit summary chosen by Barts1a, falsely identifying an edit as vandalism, with this appropriate, detailed, and explanatory edit summary. Nuff said. Kthx, -- Cirt (talk) 01:48, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

It wasn't vandalism, but we all make mistakes, Cirt. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 02:37, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. –MuZemike 04:15, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I replied there. Please note that I have no problem with the discussion being blanked if you prefer that, my problem is that the current solution "unlinks" them from my account's contributions. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 04:24, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

norh-south highway/artery

I didn't mean to question anyone's English. The thing is that, in Czech, there is a distinction between the general term used for highways/freeways/motorways - "dálnice", and the term used specifically for the motorway-like road that runs through Prague in a north-south direction - "magistrála". As far as I know, the term artery is used for high-capacity roads in urban areas just like Prague's magistrála. Therefore I was thinking that an artery would fit better here. Perhaps I'm way off here. Cheers!

The generally accepted term for use on wikipedia is highway. Thanks for taking the time to talk about it! Barts1a (talk) 00:15, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

This isn't a valid use of rollback. Please see WP:ROLLBACK for more info on when you are allowed to use it. Also note that continued misuse can result in removal. Not insinuating that I've noticed other misuses, but just a note. Thanks! Killiondude (talk) 00:51, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Excuse me? As far as I know rollback is only used when it is MORE than one edit being reverted. I only reverted one edit and even if rollback only involves one edit; how was my particular edit abuse? Barts1a (talk) 04:24, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Barts1a (talk) 04:27, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

No. Every "revert" in Huggle requires rollback. That's why you have to have the rollback right to even use it. See WP:HUGGLE for more info about that. WP:ROLL#When to use rollback says that rollback is supposed to be used in cases of clear vandalism (among other cases, which don't apply here). The diff above was not vandalism and as such giving an actual edit summary (not just using rollback) is appropriate there. Also, don't see why you need to use the RFC tag. Feel free to ask on WT:ROLLBACK or any other place, though. Killiondude (talk) 06:47, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

(Comment) Hi Barts1a, if you just need an independent third party opinion then you may want to try using WP:3O. It is appropriate for any issue between two parties and is far more light-weight than RfC (which normally takes from several days to a month to create a consensus). Thanks, Fæ (talk) 23:05, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

User:Barts1a/discussion1

I have closed that MfD as delete, that being the overall sense of the debate; but would you object to the page being userfied to Piotrus, as several contributors suggested? JohnCD (talk) 11:22, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I would not object to this. Go right ahead! Barts1a (talk) 12:03, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Done, thanks. JohnCD (talk) 12:11, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections

Ciao, barts1a. I noticed you've made steps towards standing as a candidate in this year's ArbCom elections. Unfortunately, it does not look as if you meet the eligibilty criteria of having made 1,000 mainspace edits before November 114, 2010 so you will not be able to submit a candidacy (please correct me if I am wrong). Regards, Skomorokh 11:32, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I intend to run as this shows I have over 1,700 edits; more than qualifying me to stand for the position and at any rate this election needs all the candidates it can get. Barts1a (talk) 11:59, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

That link indicates you have 728 mainspace edits, not 1000 (and some of those 728 have been made since Nov 1st14th). Sorry, Skomorokh 12:03, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Either way I intend to run anyway. And if you look at the guideline for edits you will see that it actually says November 14, not November 1. Barts1a (talk) 12:07, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

My mistake, it is November 14 as you say. However, you still do not meet the threshold for article space edits and so are prohibited from running. Sincerely, Skomorokh 12:09, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

You seem to have a rather strong position on this... Barts1a (talk) 12:12, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

My error regarding the date aside, it's pretty black and white. Sincerely, Skomorokh 12:17, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I have withdrawn my self-nomination, but I believe that the lack of nominees this time around is due to unfriendly messages such as above. I hope that I will have enough edits next time around to qualify. Barts1a (talk) 12:24, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

• CommentBarts1a, the requirement is for mainspace edits (not total edits). You don't appear to meet the requirement.--RegentsPark (talk) 12:13, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

No wonder candidates are so few and far between... Barts1a (talk) 12:14, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
