Admin coaching

I added a few more questions to your coaching page. Useight (talk) 22:24, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Alright. King Lopez Contribs 03:24, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
I responded to your answers with a little follow up and some suggestions. Useight (talk) 04:37, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Ok. King Lopez Contribs 04:55, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Yes, people who participate in RFAs, myself included, consider edit summaries very important. It's a quick way to let other editors see what you're doing. Plus, vandals don't usually use summaries, so it helps when checking watchlists. When I'm looking at mine, I check for edits by IP addresses, edits by users with a redlinked username, big changes, and edits without summaries. You'll pretty much have to start using them on almost all of your edits if you want to pass an RFA (either that or log 10,000 edits). Useight (talk) 05:32, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Ok, I will start using that. Thanks. King Lopez Contribs 09:52, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

One of my favorite pictures
Thank you for participating in my RfA! It was closed as successful with 74 supporting, 3 opposing, and 1 neutral. I will do my best to live up to the trust that you have placed in me. —Remember the dot (talk) 18:49, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Cool. Nice picture, it's my favorite too. King Lopez Contribs 03:35, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Your Past

Those blocks were just over 1 year ago. Many editors feel that you have to be 6 months block-free, so you have that. However, there were two blocks in short succession, which could make the average !voter go from 6 months to 1 year. But, they were a year ago and you only had the account for a month at the time. I think you'll be fine. Useight (talk) 04:41, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Alright. Thanks. King Lopez Contribs 10:22, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Good work- well done

Hi King Lopez pleased to meet you, well done for reverting vandalism on the Jat people article. I thank you. The reason why there are so many vandals on the Jat people article is because its about a ethnic group and so it attracts alot racist vandalizers. Please can you put it in your watch list we need all the help we can get. A good idea is maybe tell 3-4 other experienced wikipedians to keep an eye on it in their watchlists so we can all keep eye on it and prevent vanadalism. The main things to watch out for in vandalism attempts are 1. Page blankings 2. Removal or references 3. Hate racist or negative comments about this ethnic group and other general hate negative statements.

I hope you can help - we need to reduce ethnic hate in the world so please protect the article.

best regards.

No problem. Take care. King Lopez Contribs 10:24, 26 February 2008 (UTC)


Hi King Lopez, I thank you for your help and putting it in your watch list. I really appreciate this.

I think your suggestion of getting semi-protection on the article is an excellent way to protect it from racism.

The reason why semi protection is an excellent idea for Jat people article is because of the following:

  • 1. Vast majority of the racist vandalizers are anons (who do not have wiki accounts)
  • 2. A racist vandal would need an account and could be blocked if they perform racists edits on the article.
  • 3. Vast majority of genuine good editors will already have an account and act responsibly.
  • 4. It is an article about an ethnic group so it will always be under threat from racist anons (who do not have wiki accounts)

In short getting semi-protection for the article would stop vast majority (99%) of the vandal attacks. Finally, it would reduce the workload long-term for wikipedians who are trying to protect the article, like you & me.

Ok. It has been listed at the WP:RFPP King Lopez Contribs 11:28, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi King Lopez, there seems for the time being low activity this month by vandals. Therefore, I am afraid if we put a massive semi-protect tag at the top of the article it will only awake them again. Therefore, lets leave it for the time being, try to keep things quiet. I retract my request for semi-protection for time being. However, thank you friend for your help. If you keep an eye on it that will be enough. Thanks friend.--Historian info (talk) 13:37, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Sure. No problem. King Lopez Contribs 11:05, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it's looking real nice now. It's the first one I've seen that had some actual formatting instead of just text. Useight (talk) 18:15, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
