RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - robkelk - 05-28-2019
The optics would be better if somebody other than me gave him the tempban.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - Bob Schroeck - 05-28-2019
And since I've made a couple comments -- one unnecessarily snarky -- to him, maybe someone other than me, too.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - Bob Schroeck - 05-28-2019
Okay, I gave in and did it. Mohamed Saed just earned himself a two-week tempban for disrespecting admins, general snarkery, and being annoying in general.
EDIT: I didn't tell him how long his tempban was for; I'm curious to see if he has any patience.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - robkelk - 05-29-2019
Thanks, Bob.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - Bob Schroeck - 05-29-2019
You're welcome, Rob. Sadly, I didn't see that Geth had already given Saed a warning, and so I stepped on his toes with my ban. I'm willing to rescind it in deference to your priority, Geth...
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - robkelk - 05-29-2019
I had already given him a warning, saying that any further violations of Rule 1 ("Don't be a jerk") would result in a tempban. That was before his most recent posts in the thread that I summarized and closed.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - robkelk - 05-29-2019
Changing gears...
I think Kappathefrog might be worth giving Autopatrolled status to, but the account's only been active for one month. Opinions, anyone?
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - Bob Schroeck - 05-29-2019
It's not a big history but it looks like quality. I'd give a tentative yes.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - Bob Schroeck - 05-29-2019
Is it just me, or does this guy have a major attitude problem?

And in a message he posted to LongRunner and then apparently deleted (or is maybe LongRunner's user talk page glitchy?), he wrote
Quote:LongRunner, I’m sorry that you got blocked. [[User:Robkelk|Robkelk]] can be bad sometimes. Don’t worry. Mohamed Saed at your service.I think we need to ban this guy because he's a major asshole to the staff and seems to think he owns ATT and we're thwarting his god-given rights to do and say what he wants.
I wasn't aware of Mohamed Saed's message on my Talk page because the ping didn't show up. I said no to his request (I'm a bit late on that).

Copy-pasting full URLs in the edit summary is not a good look...
I undid his edit and changed it to "kids and teenagers".

I looked at his edit history. With one exception, his edits have been justified with a statement saying that's how TVTropes does things. I'm going to give him a 1-week attention-getter, with the reason "All The Tropes is not bound by what TVTropes says."
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - robkelk - 06-03-2019
Why do we even have this template?
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - Bob Schroeck - 06-04-2019
To call attention to an outright falsehood when it's too much trouble to simply delete it? <sigh>
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - Bob Schroeck - 06-07-2019
Heads up. I think Mohamed Saed may be using a sock puppet, Fungster. No solid evidence yet, and not even enough to merit a checkuser. Just a gut feeling.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - robkelk - 06-07-2019
What, because he posted only something that Mohamed Saed would know to one of Mohamed Saed's pet pages?
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - robkelk - 06-08-2019
Hmmmmm... Wikivoyage has a Gadget called "UTC Live Clock", that puts a clock display (displaying the time in UTC) at the top-right corner of the page when you're logged in and using the gadget. Clicking on the clock purges the current page.
It's a useful gadget - for Wikivoyage. Is is something we might want on ATT?

Quote:What, because he posted only something that Mohamed Saed would know to one of Mohamed Saed's pet pages?Another name to watch: MohamedG92, created on the morning of the 9th.
EDIT: Just checked Mo's Global account information page. He's a bureaucrat and sysop on alarabiapedia.miraheze.org and he has accounts at 18 other Miraheze wikis, including ATT. Is it just me or is that a little suspicious? Checking myself, I only have 7 accounts, either admin wikis like login and meta, or other wikis I've visited.
Anyway, I've made a checkuser request on all three accounts.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - Bob Schroeck - 06-10-2019
Okay, why are new Talk pages coming in as plain wiki pages and not Flow pages?

And it's been looked into. Amazingly, they appear to be unrelated according to John @ Miraheze. But our boy Mo did something that John flagged as a Terms of Service violation, so the whole deal is now out of our hands and something else is going on.

Good Lord.
This still exists.
It needs a page.
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - robkelk - 06-15-2019
Could somebody with a working bot do a bot run, please?
We have 234 broken links from a mistyped earlier bot run: "http://www.animenewsnetwork.cc//" (note the two slashes) needs to be changed to "https://www.animenewsnetwork.cc/" Here's the list

RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIII - robkelk - 06-17-2019
Minor milestone: Now that I've just corrected the last "Film/Howls Moving Castle" link to point to "Howl's Moving Castle (anime)", all subpages under Film really are subpages of the "Film" page, not works with old TVTropes-style names.
Yay.
(Whether all of those subpages are named correctly is another matter altogether, but at least they are subpages.)
