Stuck

Hello. I've been on a very long wikibreak for quite a while, and haven't been really doing much after getting rollback (don't worry, I haven't abandoned the CVUA ;)). The current assignment at User:Theopolisme/CVUA/Thekillerpenguin requires me to rollback a few edits. I am kind of stuck there for a few reasons.

First, it seems like whenever I find some vandalism in Special:RecentChanges, by the time I reach it, often Cluebot NG has already reverted it, making actually finding correctable vandalism somewhat hard (good job for Cluebot though!). When I do find a piece of vandalism that I can revert, most of the time it is a single edit to a page, by an editor with no prior edits to the page, so rollback is overkill in that case. This means that finding vandalism suitable for rollback is becoming quite difficult. Do you have any advice for this? Regards, Thekillerpenguin (talk) 04:31, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Welcome back; I'm glad to hear from you again! In response to your comment, "most of the time it is a single edit to a page, by an editor with no prior edits to the page, so rollback is overkill in that case," that is actually incorrect..situations like that are exactly what rollback is made for -- it's simply "a faster and easier undo." Take another look at WP:ROLLBACK. Cheers, —Theopolisme (talk) 15:31, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
I'll start working on reverting when I have time, perhaps tomorrow.
On an unrelated note, I was wondering about somethin g. Think about a hypothetical situation: A vandal vandalizes a page with things that Cluebot NG would normally detect. Then, they put the {{nobots}} template on the page, so Cluebot will not revert it. This hypothetical vandal does this sneakily, so the vandalism sneaks by.
If this hypothetical situation every arises commonly, would there be enough editors doing Recent Changes Patrol to take care of this? Thekillerpenguin (talk) 05:54, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Hmm, good question. Let me ping the ClueBot creators. Even if this is that case, it looks like another antivandalism program would detect it, regardless (STiki, for example)—an edit filter could also be created to help prevent it (i.e., only autoconfirmed can place {{bots}} in the main namespace. Good question! —Theopolisme (talk) 10:57, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Plainview

You nominated the article Planview for A7 Speedy Deletion, but isn't there an exemption for software in the criteria? Revolution1221 (talk) 00:14, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

You're 100% right; I goofed and read it initially as a company. About a minute later, though, I realized my mistake and undid my warning of the user. Thanks for keeping an eye out, regardless! See ya round, and happy editing, —Theopolisme (talk) 01:07, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Children's Culture

Hello there,

I appreciate your previous feedback, I have made corrections and done another major edit. I have also moved text from my sandbox to Children's culture stub. I hope that I have done everything correctly. I am so pleased with this project! I am so glad I got to participate. Thank you for all your help. BMRoberts (talk) 16:31, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Copyvio Detector

Me again,

As per the request of our class professor, I went to this tool to use it to check my stub submission. When I used the Copyvio Detector to check my contributions it returned a bunch of stuff, but I am not sure how to decipher what it means. It told me I was copying from a Wiki page and returned the Children's Culture page, which is the page I wrote.

Anyhow, I am sure I am just missing something. Could you please point me in the correct direction? I feel (I hope!) that I have cited everything correctly so to alleviate me from any copyright infringements. We shall see. Thanks

BMRoberts (talk) 16:48, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Don't worry; you're fine! I ran the tool on your article and everything looks good—"No violations detected in Children's culture." :) —Theopolisme (talk) 21:03, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Reference cleanup

Hi! I'm having a look at Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting today, and have just fixed up your edits at Qinghai Huading Industrial Company Limited and QNB Group. Are you using a tool or script for these edits? Something doesn't seem to be working right. -- John of Reading (talk) 12:55, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, that's weird. I'm in the process of developing a custom Google Chrome extension to semi-automatically fill in references and unify their naming structures. It looks like that because the ref tag was enclosed inside the {{reflist}} template, the tool parsed it in a strange way...thanks for pointing that out, and I'll look into it! Cheers, —Theopolisme (talk) 16:31, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Flowers for you!

Online Ambassador Recognition
Thanks so much for all your help with our course, and for the constant feedback and assistance. We really appreciate it! Mgantony (talk) 23:45, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
I'm glad everything turned out so well, and I sincerely hope to be able to do something similar to this again with Schreiner. It was a blast working with you and your students, and you should be very proud of what they accomplished; are you planning on running another Misplaced Pages course next year? —Theopolisme (talk) 00:08, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
