seresin's talk page

Welcome to my talk page. Feel free to ask me for something you need an administrator to do, or something that doesn't require the flag; whichever. Where I reply depends on how I'm feeling. Sorry, but I'm inconsistent. I will reply though, and if you ask me to reply somewhere specific I'll do that. Monobook js | Pictures | Signpost | Sandbox | Stars | Userboxen/About

Farmers Market (band)

The article on Farmers Market (band) seems to have been deleted (speedily?). Any way to restore it? The band is one of Norway's most recognized and well-known jazz bands. If the article was lacking, I can try to improve it. --Kvaks (talk) 09:23, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

History tab

What if it was renamed "Don't click this button!" - thus ensuring all casual editors would hit it out of sheer curiosity and therefore would find out what it did? --Allemandtando (talk) 00:27, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I'd imagine the tab would be too large. seresin ( ¡? ) 00:33, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

For lending some common sense to the issue. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 01:00, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Mmm. I'm not sure if you really wish to thank me; I was prepared to let your block stand, even if Edokter should not have been the one to impose it. seresin ( ¡? ) 01:03, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

May I ask why? - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 01:20, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Because after a protacted debate with Edokter about several things, and finally about alphabetization, you went to a style guide and decided to change it from what it has said for a long time to what you insist is correct. While our BOLD policy clearly allows this, you were reverted; under BRD, you are then required to discuss, not to revert back to your version, which is clearly contested. The fact that you would do that, which of itself is problematic, moments after a debate with another editor about it, is disruptive, and you were blocked for being disruptive. seresin ( ¡? ) 01:27, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. Though I will note that after being told that no such guideline existed, I went looking for it. When I found something similar, I made a bold edit, seeking change. Now, if you are a member of a certain wikiproject where such occurs, you are going to immediately classify the edit as disruptive. However, it wasn't meant to be such. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 03:50, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

DYK

On 2 July, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Eat, Pray, Love, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

Hello. I noticed you close AfDs often. Well, I was wondering if closing the above as "keep" would be appropriate. Thanks, RyRy (talk) 04:21, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

You would probably not run into any problems at all closing it as keep, no. Personally, however, I would be inclined to agree with Spartaz that no actual evidence of notability has been proven, only dogmatically asserted, and therefore guidelines trump numbers, but closing that as a delete or merge would be questioned immediately. And, for accuracy, I don't close AfDs all that often, I just happened to do a few today on a whim. seresin ( ¡? ) 04:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, I simply just looked at your contributions, and saw some AfD closures in your last 500 edits, not very many though. Anyway, I did notice Spartaz said and it does seem true to what came up. But yes, a close as "merge" or "delete" would seem very unlikely, but there isn't any choice left. I'll close the AfD. Thanks for your help. :) -- RyRy (talk) 04:47, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Firefox 3

If the freezing on Vista is caused by Data Execution Prevention please see this Forum Mozillazine - Random Firefox 3 Crashes- Vista Data Execution Prevention Kathleen.wright5 22:43, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, but FFx rarely crashes, it just freezes. And I've never seen a notification about the DEP. Thanks for the help though :) seresin ( ¡? ) 22:50, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

New Mexico

"Estado de Nuevo México" is another official name of New Mexico. Both English and Spanish are official languages in Enw Mexico (although English is generally used), similar to the situation in Louisiana where both English and French are official (although English is generally used).

I will therefore re-insert my edits into the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.234.41.192 (talk) 03:20, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

And you will be reverted. Consensus is that there is no official language of the state. seresin ( ¡? ) 05:15, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

User talk:71.114.23.247

He was already advised to do so by several admins, has a long history of sockpuppeting and harassment of others. He has shown he doesn't care at all about our policies as he continues to do these things.

But I guess it's just a lost cause with him, so I'll just stick to cataloging his sockpuppet accounts, and reporting him to SSP.— Dædαlus ^Contribs /_Improve 05:53, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Secondly, given his past behavior, I see no reason in unblocking him, have you spoken at all with the other admins who have dealt with/blocked him?— Dædαlus ^Contribs /_Improve 05:54, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Lastly, I was hoping he might realize why it was not applical to unblock him, and hopefully 'reform/apologize for his past behavior'. After everything, I just don't see it happening anymore. No remorse at all.— Dædαlus ^Contribs /_Improve 05:56, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
