Wake up! You are talking July and August _2004_
here! That's not last
week, not last month, that's more than one year ago! And those
deletions were not done by Jcb, he was not even on Wikipedia then!
That was one example of massive deletions.
There are other deletions which went on
on a regular basis which meant many
times there were minus new entries,
figure that one out on the tables.
Yes, there have been deletions going on. Apparently that's a bad
thing. And apparently you consider Jcb to blame for that. It's the way
things go at Wikipedia - sometimes articles would do better to be
deleted. And then they are.
And apparently
YOU don't know what's been going on either.
And you're starting to annoy me. You find a sysop deleting pages, and:
1. You DON'T talk with him
2. You DON'T ask for his removal
3. You DON'T bring the pages back
4. You DO block him,
I've written before that this was going on.
I posted messages everywhere I could
to tell Jcb I was blocking him only until
the situation was resolved.
That's an awfully bad way to try to resolve a situation. Jcb had to
unblock himself to even help in resolving.
There are
no records I can find of who or what
bot has been making deletions other
than Jcb.
Almafeta deleted a whole lot of pages on August 31, and a few in the
months before that. Dissident did so on 24-25 February. Easy to see
from the deletion log.
And he is the only other
sysop I didn't know well enough at
the wiki. He also has a bot at work
on the wiki, and no other admins do.
What does having a bot have to do with it?
I wanted to put a stop to the situation
and look into it.
Looking into a situation is best done by contacting the people who are
involved, not by blocking them away from the wiki.
No, I noticed that he was the admin who
was actively deleting pages. I noticed that
he was the only admin claiming to have
a bot at work in the wiki.
And so you blame him for everything that goes wrong.
And why are there so many negative
messages regarding this matter? What
would other wikis who have had this
unexplained disappearences have done?
1. TALK! ASK!
2. Seeing that you are an admin yourself, you could have checked the
deleted pages to see whether the deletions were right or wrong, and
maybe undelete them.
You do neither of this. Instead you get into a rage against the person
that you *think* is to blame, and you are deaf to any suggestion that
the situation might be different than you thought, or that you might
better have done differently even IF it is as you thought.
