DYK expanded fivefold?

Hello Bedford. I was recently expanding Willis Roberts and I nomintaed it under the July 5th section but I couldn't tell if I did a fivefold expandsion of it. Could you possibly check if I expanded it fivefold? Thanks in advance. -- RyRy (talk) 08:09, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, you expanded it by 13.3x, so yeah I think you expanded it enough.--Bedford Pray 08:12, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ehehe, thanks. Although, the hook was pretty hard to choose. The first of the two hooks I nominated for the article I think was a POV. Could you check that? I'm not sure if such hooks would be approved. -- RyRy (talk) 08:21, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indiana

Hi, and thanks again for doing the Barnstars for the assessment drive. I was reading your user page and was pleased to see you also are from Indiana. I work mostly in the actors and film work groups and honestly am not all that great in starting articles, though I do some dandy clean up and referencing work. There is an article that I wish someone would start, and I have a bit of resource material for it, if someone would. It's on the Wilbur Wright Birthplace. I was involved with the original committee to preserve it after the state decided to close and sell it as a state memorial, although I am not involved now. The site was just a marker and house foundation for many, many years, and my uncle was almost the only person who bothered with it during the 50s and 60s. He mowed the grass, did the upkeep, went to the site to raise the flag on holidays, organized the small yearly memorial ceremonies and worked tirelessly to get the state to put money into it. That finally happened in the early 70s, when the state turned it into a state historic site, built a shelter house, had an Amish contractor build a reproduction of the house, and somehow persuaded the air force to donate a fighter plane for display. It continued that way, operated by the state, until the early 1990s, when the state began divesting itself of some property. They were planning to sell the land and move the house from the actual foundation of Wright's original home to the reservoir near Muncie. That's when our group stepped up. Eventually, we proved that the site could be operated (I think the original contract was for 3 years) and when we fulfilled our agreement, it was turned over to the local committee. It has been greatly expanded and is partially funded by a local food tax in Henry county. As you can see from the website, a great deal has been done with the funds. It operates independently as a tax deductible organization now. Anyway... if you are interested in it, please let me know. The website doesn't have all of the history of the site itself, which it used to have. Thanks! Wildhartlivie (talk) 23:20, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds interesting; I'll check it out.--Bedford Pray 23:51, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the wikicookie for the bio drive! yay! question: will there be a summer assessment drive or a fall one?--FeanorStar7 (talk) 23:26, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just stepped in to give the awards, using my admin status to replace any authority I had in WP:Bio (none). I have no idea about future drives, but seeing as the guy responsible for this one went AWOL, who knows if there is anymore. However, I have a constant drive of my own: get an Indiana article I started to GA, and I give an Indiana Barnstar; I'll give a Bluegrass Barnstar for those who do the same thing to one of my Kentucky articles.--Bedford Pray 23:51, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for my award, too. I'd almost forgotten about the drive! --BelovedFreak 16:40, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

Hi, about the DYK's I generally don't approve hooks, I simply find approved ones and then add them to the next update set, I won't use new approved hooks unless I absolutely have to because there are no other approved older hooks, also there are a few hooks that are older but have Image recommendations and I generally leave them so that I can place those in the header with there Images so because of that they might have to wait longer to be featured than plain text hooks but otherwise I always use the oldest approved hooks first and then work my way into the newer hooks as necessary :). Thanks and All the Best, --Mifter (talk) 02:52, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Oh and congrats on your 100 DYK Medal :). --Mifter (talk) 02:52, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The traditional rfa thank you message

Thank you for the support!
Bedford, it is my honor to report that thanks in part to your support my third request for adminship passed (80/18/2). I appreciate the trust you and the WP community have in me, and I will endeovour to put my newly acquired mop and bucket to work for the community as a whole. Yours sincerly and respectfuly, TomStar81 (Talk) 03:09, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recent interchanges at DYK

I happened to notice some recent interchanges at DYK involving yourself. I'd ask you to please try a bit harder to remain collegial, you seem to have gotten into a bit of a feud with other participants, which is somewhat unseemly. Someone with as many DYK contributions as yourself needs to set a good example for others, and that doesn't seem to be the case right now. Thanks. ++Lar: t/c 11:03, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You would be better served rebuking Doncram for it, instead of me, as he's the one creating the problem. As you didn't, but instead chose to rebuke m e, the protagonist to Doncram's antagonist, I can not respect this request.--Bedford Pray 16:30, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'll look into that but the advice (not a rebuke, merely advice) stands. "Be better than the other fellow "has always served me well. Whether you "respect" the advice or not is your affair. Best wishes. ++Lar: t/c 18:19, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since this seems to be related to this, I'm commenting here. Yes, I approved two of your hooks from that date. I asked, and will repeat the request on his talkpage, that Don not review your hooks anymore (frankly, I think, to avoid COI issues no one from one project should be the main reviewer of DYK hooks and GAs from another user of that project. And things like what's happened here). But you don't have to rub him the wrong way either.

I feel we all get along great at NRHP, and am sad that you have chosen for the time being to delist yourself from it. However, this is purely from the DYK side of things. I really do like your hooks, and will probably add NRHP infoboxes to the articles I reviewed later. So I would like to see more efforts to get along (and, frankly, don shouldn't be reviewing your hooks). Daniel Case (talk) 03:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do thank you. I agree on those in same WPs not approving; its why I haven't approved the Bank of Indiana or placed it on the next update, even through there are space for two US hooks on there right not. As for removing myself, I will still work on those in Indiana and Kentucky, but due to ill will with Doncram, who runs the WP, I must remain separate for it unless her goes on a ling wikibreak.--Bedford Pray 03:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Someone is in charge of WP:NRHP? That's news to me. I was under the impression that we were all just creating articles and engaging in various areas of historical geekery. Aren't we all on the same team? --Elkman (Elkspeak) 05:01, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Then he must be impersonating one, because he's always acted like he is.--Bedford Pray 05:02, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is your choice to take a principled? stand against better referencing and to resign from wp:NRHP in a huff, or whatever, because you take offense, rather than responding reasonably, to my request that you do better in your referencing. I am not in charge of wp:NRHP and have not ever pretended to be, I am just a wikipedian trying mostly to develop articles and lists on NRHPs. I am rather amazed at your commitment to do poorer referencing, simply because i suggested you do better, and to otherwise sabotage the quality of your own articles. And amazed at your taunting and insults. I would have hoped that you and I would have had some better quality of relationship than that, so that you would have elected to respond to some constructive criticism more positively. I believe that i handed you a number of DYK topics of interest to you as a Civil War buff, and that i handed you a great reference resource for numerous of your DYK articles on Civil War memorials. But, whatever! doncram (talk) 23:19, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I realize you have Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, but please get over yourself. You've gone out of your way to make an ass of yourself, and you've always acted like you are El Presidente of WP NRHP. Enough.--Bedford Pray 00:56, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wanted to let you know not to take my comments on the discussion page personally. I posted Mary Turner's comments for the record because I felt it was approperiate. She really doesn't care who put what where. She sees grandpa with rose-colored glasses and how dare anyone say anything negative about him. *shrug* Lonadar (talk) 22:36, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't; I've received far worse rebukes. It's understandable she feels strongly for her granddad; I wonder how old y'all were when he died.--Bedford Pray 22:41, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: DYK Update

Glad to hear that I didn't screw anything up too badly. Ah, I can see that there is some extra space on the Main Page. I took the entries that had been listed at Template:Did you know/Next update, assuming that that was the approriate number/size. Looking at the history, though, I see that more than six entries do get added. On the offchance that again there aren't enough the next time the update comes around, can some just be grabbed from Template talk:Did you know that have been overall approved? Thanks for your help. -- Natalya 02:28, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Cerkov Rizpolozhenia (Kreml).JPG|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Sorry about the A-class review but the folks at MHR tend to be a bit shy when it comes to opposing - usually if someone asks for improvements, many people will just stay away until it gets fixed. NVm, I've started fixing some of them. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:31, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've had a bum foot all week, which sapped a lot of will to get improvements done that. Someday, I'll make it a FA. Plus, my biggest problem was needing some kind of infobox that could be used for all "STATE in the American Civil War" articles, and I was at a blank.--Bedford Pray 05:34, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Complaint

For more specific things that fiery incidents, you can use WP:ANI but for more longer term type things, WP:RFC/U is the place to go. Obviously if the DYK regulars-and I have been enjoying some downtime lately on that front-ignore this person's complaints, then that only leaves the issue of getting under your skin. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:01, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then we'll see what happens, anmd if I need to complain, I know where to go. Thanks.--Bedford Pray 04:03, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I had enough; he won't stop. Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Doncram‎ was the only way to go, as he's trying to get me for 3RR, while doing nothign constructive to help Wikipedia.--Bedford Pray 05:05, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bedford. You are over 3RR on this article. I recommend that you self-revert. I'm leaving a note at WP:AN3 that I left you this message and I'm going to bed. If you don't revert it's possible that another 3RR closer might block you. EdJohnston (talk) 05:36, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about Doncram? He harasses me, and you go after me?--Bedford Pray 05:38, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Bedford, for an admin, you don't seem very knowledgable about 3RR. Please revert COMPLETELY if you are accepting my offer. If not, it's the next guy's decision on whether to block you. EdJohnston (talk) 06:03, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I allowed myself to be officially raped, and now Doncram has been awarded for making a nuisance of myself. I did not become an admin for #RR; I became it to help on DYK. I reverted, although it is a sin against me that I had to.--Bedford Pray 06:07, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have declined the 3RR report because it was made in bad faith. However, please remember that only simple, obvious vandalism is exempt from 3RR enforcement. Stifle (talk) 12:57, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers

I'll come over to your talk page now for this! Thanks a bunch for the help with DYK - I'm only a rookie with it and it's hard to know exactly what to do. It's been much appreciated! Ryan Postlethwaite 03:52, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Next update

Beford -- I see you've put the wrestling hook in the next update. Consider swapping the current dark photo for a better photo of the other wrestler -- . I think it will look much better in small size. Cbl62 (talk) 02:35, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

'Bra & panties match' DYK

My apologies, but I've removed from the Main Page this DYK that you approved after someone brought it to my attention. This really isn't the kind of material we should be showcasing on there. :/ krimpet

I thought Wikipedia was uncensored? Also, several people commented on ti, and not had any problems with it. It shopuld have been replace with another from the queue; not an old one. How ridiculous.--Bedford Pray 08:29, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm highly disappointed that you've chosen to simply revert me on a protected page and adopt a combatative tone, instead of attempting to address those concerns. Wikipedia is not censored, but it's not needlessly gratuitous either, and the Main Page is a highly visible position on our project. I'm sure many other women on this project would agree with me that this doesn't belong there. I urge you to please revert yourself. krimpet 08:48, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I saw that there were no complaints on the Main Page Errors secion, nor did anyone contact you about it, so you did it solely on your own volition. Five people had no problems with, and apparantly two admins have proven no diculties with it, as opposed to the one of you. You can't be overruling so many just by your own say so. That avoids Good Faith.--Bedford Pray 08:54, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I also agree that the hook isn't the right thing to be placing on the main page. Please consider removing it. Seraphim♥Whipp 10:06, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I also noticed that you promoted your own hook. There is clearly a conflict of interest here. I am going remove it. Seraphim♥Whipp 10:18, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It was not my article, it was my suggestion. Others agreed it was the best one to use. Instead, we have a bunch of feminists decide to censor Wikipedia, as they'd rather do that than actually do something fruitful for Wikipedia. Sad. Oh so sad. Pathetic, too.--Bedford Pray 10:22, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter - you should refrain from promoting your own hook. You can ramble on to yourself now - talking to you is clearly not worth my time. Seraphim♥Whipp 10:24, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You finally figured out how to upload {{c-uploaded}} copies? Congrats! :-p --BorgQueen (talk) 10:10, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm drowning in sarc asm here. :D --Bedford Pray 10:13, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
