Requesting a block for a violation of policy? Wikinews:Blocking policy states that administrators may block users who "excessively and consistently break site policy. Admins should only do this as a last resort - efforts to educate must be made first, followed by warnings." Admins can not and will not block unless this policy is followed. Please do not raise an alert here unless efforts to educate the user have been made, and warnings have been given. If you have an ongoing problem with another user, you should consider Wikinews:Dispute resolution.

  • Markie (talk · contribs) quite frankly created a mess of our archiving efforts when he recently used AWB to archive stories. Heaps of articles have been archived with the regular {{Archived}} tag instead of the {{Archive-unreviewed}} tag for bot archiving. --SVTCobra 09:45, 11 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
    Um, how many is heaps? Can we get a list of these somewhere, to go back over manually? Cirt - (talk) 09:51, 11 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
    From Markie's contributions on May 10, I'd eyeball it and say dozens. I know of no other way to generate a list. --SVTCobra 10:01, 11 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
    Okay that's helpful. Cirt - (talk) 10:18, 11 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
    err, mess... okay, thanks. all it looks to me is that the archive tag is in the wrong place, but hey, i can move that for the next run. also i didnt do a bot run, AWB is not a bot, it has to be supervised, and all i used it for was the generating of the list of articles needing to be archived, and then adding the archive tag (thus why i didnt use the un-supervised tag). after those had been done i then manually checked the pages and applied the protection to them. overall the use of AWB to make my life easier somehow has managed to turn the whole process into a mess. if i had supressed AWB in the edit summary would a) anyone have known i was using a "bot" and b) caused the same mess, cause thats where i would have stuck it anyways. it doenst really cause any changes in the layout wheres if its stuck with the pub tag it can shift other templates down. but hey i obv dont know what im doing, so id best leave it to you to enjoy. only around 2000 pages left, happy archiving! --MarkTalk to me 15:50, 11 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
    I tried to fix as many of the article as I can yesterday (although I did in no way fix everything. In fact, I fixed hardly of it). Markie, AWB isn't perfect, it can't add cats, move the sources so they are in order or revert some late edits. AWB is a bot, just only semi automatedAnonymous101 :) 15:55, 11 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
    maybe some bolds were needed in my above comments. ...i then manually checked the pages and applied the protection to them...--MarkTalk to me 15:58, 11 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
    I just chose a page you archived at random and it didn't meet the policies laid out at WN:ARCIVE. By the way, it is great to see users like you archiving, just double check you folllow WN:ARCHIVE Anonymous101 :) 16:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
You both need to pay more attention to detail ... see this diff and history. --SVTCobra 16:21, 12 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Aslo see the 8 pages I archived where you did not need to do that. Maybe you coulsd of given me a minute to check the pages if you wanted to complain Anonymous101 :) 16:33, 12 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
See that's the problem ... because of your sloppy archiving it has become necessary to double check. That's not the way it is supposed to be. So far I have found problems with most of the articles you have archived as per our talk yesterday. I haven't looked at all of them. What the hell do you mean "given you a minute"? To do what exactly? --SVTCobra 16:42, 12 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
OK, I admit I made a mistakeAnonymous101 :) 17:27, 12 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

==Clearing the backlog in 16.6 days== We currently have 749 articles to archive. Presuming we have 5 admins archiving 10 articles a day, with 5 new articles a day, we can clear the backlog in 16.6 days. (unless my math is wrong) Please sign below if you are willing to hepl with this:

err you may want to see User:Markie/To archive, awb makes that around 2000 stories, where did you get 750 from? --MarkTalk to me 21:43, 11 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

?

I'm excluding the autoarchived articles Anonymous101 :) 05:42, 12 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'm not going to discuss archiving anymore. I'll return to edits that I'm used to Anonymous101 :) 16:33, 12 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
