Hello

I'm really sorry that I made leading editing supervisors. I just wanted to stop vandalism, since my wikipedia edits were vandalised many times. Anyway, I appreciate your help with articles that I created. I hope you help me more when I need. I am now going to focus on history related articles and korea related articles.

Thank you. (The preceding unsigned comment was added by World historia (talk • contribs) .)

Excuse me

I sent you a message. And there is still no respond. So I just want to remind you... (The preceding unsigned comment was added by World historia (talk • contribs) .)

What am I suppose to be responding to? The comment in the section above didn't suggest to me a response was requested. -- darklama  17:10, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Contact required re OTRS ticket

Gday Darklama. Would you mind dropping me an email. There is an OTRS ticket in the Wikiversity queue that has been escalated to stewards as it has gone unanswered by your community, and I would like to discuss it with you. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 06:13, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Category:Nearly complete resources

Please see my post in Wikiversity:Colloquium#Category:Nearly_complete_resources and let me know if it would be okay to remove __HIDDENCAT__ from this category. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (talk) 20:17, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

How to create Category:Documenting crony capitalism?

1. Thanks for fixing my errors in trying to add categories to Documenting crony capitalism.
2. User:Juan de Vojníkov suggested I "Add it to category Research". How do I do that?

Thanks again. DavidMCEddy (discuss • contribs) 16:16, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

You add categories in the same way as you add images and links to a page:

[[Category:User:DavidMcEddy]]

Like images, if you want to link to the category instead of categorizing the page you have to include ":" before it:

[[:Category:User:DavidMcEddy]]

You can experiment with it at Wikiversity:Sandbox. -- darklama  16:25, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Page view statistics?

Might it be feasible to add "Page view statistics" to the "Revision history" pages in Wikiversity, similar to Wikipedia and Wikinews? Wikipedia editors have used it as one piece of evidence in evaluating candidates for for deletion or merging with other articles. I've used it with Wikinews to help me decide whether I should submit future articles through Wikinews or Indymedia. Thanks for your work with Wikimedia projects.

You can find it under the "Readers" link now in the revision history along with other links. -- darklama  15:22, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Dud, thanks. You caught me. Obviously, I didn't try opening all the doors ;-) Thanks very much. DavidMCEddy (discuss • contribs) 03:49, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Custodianship

Hay Darklama, (please spread this out if you want) can you help me become a custodian. I heard that (I am telling the truth) Dave Braunschweig wants me to be a normal user. But I still want to be bold. You can reply by going on my discussion page or Wikiversity:Candidates for Custodianship/Draubb. Bye! (Also, I am spreading this out to all the custodians I can!)

History:Revolutionary War

Hello Darklama, I have made a very useful page on Wikiversity. It is named History:Revolutionary War. I want you to pretty please protect the page. It has facts on the Revolutionary War. Have a nice day! Draubb (discuss • contribs) 20:18, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

For your information, I've replied to a similar question on my talk page here. Kind regards, Mathonius (discuss • contribs) 19:17, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Template:Delete

Dear Darklama, the template {{Delete}} doesn't put pages in CAT:CSD anymore. I assume it has something to do with these changes, but I can't come up with a solution myself. Could you please take a look? Kind regards, Mathonius (discuss • contribs) 19:20, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much! Mathonius (discuss • contribs) 20:10, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Draubb's request for custodianship

Hello Darklama, I have sent emails to all the users I can to say that Wikiversity:Candidates for Custodianship/Draubb (2) will open in June 14, 2013. Thank you. --Draubb (discuss • contribs) 21:03, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Given that this user has been canvassing, as with this comment, engaging in sockpuppetry for ballot-stuffing (these sockpuppets should be blocked, in my opinion, as CheckUser does not lie) at his request for custodianship (as confirmed by CheckUser, see WV:Candidates for Custodianship/Draubb#CU), and in general acting immaturely and wasting time, I would think he should be blocked from editing for a bit.--Jasper Deng (talk) 03:01, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

The sockpuppets/meatpuppets have been blocked. I think whether Draubb's behavior is a legitimation reason to block would require community consensus as English Wikiversity has no official blocking policy and previous blocks for behavior like immaturity, wasting time, and canvassing have lead to community strife. There isn't even a consensus as to what canvassing is yet. -- darklama  16:05, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Reason for Block

Hello Darklama, you know me - Draubb. I think you should have not blocked me for the following reasons:

• Sockpuppetry - I told you, or maybe you heard, that Yingshong is my brother, Hommbo is my cousin. About the other user, he is one of my guests. You see, my brother, cousin and guest and me have Wikiversity users. Why do we have the same IP Address? Because we are all nice enough to share the computer. My cousin and brother, you see we both live in the same home both taking turns on Wikiversity. I am the last one to go on Wikiversity. My guest, he logged in a long time ago and decided to come back. He founded out that I was requesting custodianship and just checked the contributions to see. He was pleased and then left a Support. This proves that Hommbo, Yingshong and the other user is proof that I have not committed sockpuppetry.

• Meatpuppetry - I know, I should have not requested custodianship if I was not experienced enough. By the way, Tittodutta was not that smart enough to just say "Hay, did you know that meatpuppetry is bad. So...". Nobody told me about meatpuppetry. (I know about sockpuppetry, thought).

Because you have blocked me, I have decided to retire and come back to the Wikis in August-October. You blocking me really showed that going on Wikiversity is just wasting time. Here is just a few things about me. (All true by the way)

Biography Draubb

My name is Aaqib'Farique M. A. and is still in the "studying group". I have AB honor rolls and is the smartest kid in my class. (People told me I was a "brainiack" or "genius". I have continued my studies and have been improving. I have so many fun-facts. I have studied along way. I have never been blocked on Wikiversity before. I have been saved by my old friend (not my friend anymore thanks to SB Johnny) Abd. He told me stuff not to do and what to do. Thank you.

Oh, I have posted this on Wikiversity:Candidates for Custodianship/Draubb for everyone to know. Thank you. --Draubb (discuss • contribs) 19:52, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
