Motivation and Emotion (Gambling) Book

Hi Ruy,

I'm Alex MC (the author of the chapter on gambling). I was actually working on the page rather than experimenting:) As this is all new to me (well, to most of us in the class actually) I don't doubt I was making some errors. The reason I was still messing with it when your message appeared was because I was trying to get my edits recognised as contributions - it had been working OK but for some reason the IP address started to appear rather than Alex MC (even though I was using the four tildes). Got me confused, but I guess it's all just part of the challenge, huh.

Alex

I've offered this user some explanation on User talk:AlexMC. Alex, you had logged out, apparently. This edit was also logged out, you can look at the history tab and see. --Abd 20:35, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Custodianship

Hi RP,

Thanks for your message on my talk page. I'm familiar with your work and I think you could make a strong contribution to the administrative side of Wikiversity. I'm planning to take something of a wikibreak shortly, so I'm not in the best position to mentor you, but as you are already a meta sysop and a global rollbacker I'd be comfortable mentoring you jointly with any other active custodian, and nominating you when you're ready after I return. Alternatively, you're more than welcome to select an alternative mentor, and you can always ask me for feedback on a more specific basis. Please let me know your thoughts and don't hesitate to ask around and discuss with the other custodians.

Draicone ^(talk) 08:10, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Apologies for delay, but welcome aboard - you are now an en.wv probationary custodian. Please let me know if I can do anything to help out. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 01:58, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ruy. It's been a week or so... any questions? Your logs look fine to me, so no issues there.

BTW, if you haven't done so yet, please make sure WV:RCA is on your watchlist. There's currently a discussion going on there about how a particular decision on meta should relate to WV, so your input would certainly be helpful there (since you presumably have a better feel for meta than any of the local 'crats, myself included). --SB_Johnny ^talk 18:22, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

I've closed that discussion, but it was an involved close. If you feel, Ruy, that more discussion should take place in that location, you could re-open it, but consensus seemed to be that what was needed was either a community discussion on the Colloquium, or a Community Review. This wasn't an ordinary Request for custodian action, based on Wikiversity disruption, the only disruption visible was being created by that RCA discussion! SBJ's suggestion that you watch RCA, if you aren't already, is quite sound. Thanks for your work. --Abd 19:29, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

• Sorry, guys! :( I was a little busy IRL these days. I'm totally agreed with that. What do you think about starting a RfC regarding such proposal? :) Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 01:22, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

There are a number of processes here. We have WV:Community Review, which is pretty much the equivalent of RfC elsehwere. My position here is that our consensus is already clear, and it's stated in WV:Blocking policy. While that's titled as a proposed policy, it's been that way for donkey's ages, lots of our operating policies are like that. Doesn't mean that it's not policy, the principles have been tested again and again, and the critical text has been standing for years. I'm chary of starting a Community Review myself on a matter which I consider settled. Instead, what I see is a custodial action which is contrary to standing policy, and the issue of "global bans" has been addressed before, so I've started by asking the custodian to reverse his action, and the next step is WV:Custodian feedback, if I or someone else is not satisfied. Community review for actions and users is down the line, only if necessary. On the other hand, anyone is free to start up discussion of changing our policy, which should start on Wikiversity talk:Blocking policy, and if there is dispute that cannot be resolved there, then there would be the possibility of a CR on our policy. We should have a passed blocking policy, to avoid confusion and for the guidance of custodians. The discussion would go in the site notice.

There is also a long term process that I've created to support finding deep consensus. It's slow, it's not intended, at least not at this point, for rapid decision-making, it's intended for producing coherent reports on topics, for use by the community as it sees fit. That's the Wikiversity:Assembly. Any user may join the Assembly, instructions are on the page. As a deliberative process, it needs defined membership, which makes it different from the usual wiki usual. --Abd 01:53, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi again. I'll be recommending you for full custodian in a few days... ready? --SB_Johnny ^talk 19:08, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey, SB Johny. Sorry for not responding yesterday, I was a kinda busy IRL. Oh, yes, if you trust me, I have no reason to refuse ;) Thank you. Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 20:30, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ruy Pugliesi - I think you may now the record now for the longest probationary custodianship. Are you still willing and are you ready to be nominated for full custodianship? Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 22:19, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Ruy, congratulations on your election as a steward! You are still a probationary custodian here, for far longer than policy contemplates; your mentor dropped the ball over three years ago, and you must have missed Jtneill's question. Do you wish to continue? If so, we can get the permanent discussion going. Otherwise, you are a steward and nobody will complain if you remove the tools directly. In any case, thanks for your service to Wikiversity. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 19:21, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Dear Abd,

Thank you!

I've really missed Jtneill's comment. Sorry for that.

I'd rather keep helping Wikiversity as a administrator. There is always something I could do that is not solely within the scope of stewards duties, which is mostly intended for assisting with emergency actions. However, if you think I am not suitable for full custodianship, please, tell me. :)

Best regards, Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 04:47, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

That, for me, is not the issue. Wikiversity:Candidates for Custodianship/Ruy Pugliesi is still open. This should be completed. There are some practical consequences. For example, as a permanent custodian, you may mentor probationary custodians. Probationary custodianship was conceived of as a one-month process. That is possibly short, there is no harm in extensions, as such. However, I will treat the above as indicating your interest in continuing as a custodian, and I will facilitate, then, the PC discussion, allowing the request to be closed. SB_Johnny should have the opportunity to make a recommendation, so first thing I'll do is to ask him. Thanks. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 18:12, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

FYI, your nomination for full custodian has been closed as successful. Congratulations. Thanks for your work in helping out the community. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 06:03, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

• Yes, congratulations. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 15:47, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

@Abd and Jtneill: Thank you! Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 03:35, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Your block of 150.176.249.100

Thanks! I've extended the block to two weeks, standard escalation for persistent vandalism from an apparently stable IP, with no positive contributions ever, as far as I could see. I opened up the talk page just in case some legit user gets caught in this.

I've developed a low tolerance for accounts and IPs with nothing but vandalism in their record. If a user wants to contribute usefully, they would never want that as the first edits recorded in their account, so I save them and us the trouble and indef registered users, and use escalating blocks for IP. Just my thinking.... --Abd (discuss • contribs) 23:29, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Test template

I have not made much use of the test template myself because it doesn't seem to have much of an effect. Wondering whether you have ever received feedback from IPs which make test edits? --HappyCamper 07:56, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Nice to see you come back

Welcome back :-) --Golden_burg111 00:44, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, Goldenburg111. I returned in November. I will be around. :) Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 00:55, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Why did you leave anyways? You got bored? That's why I'm a bit inactive as of now, I used to be such a Wikipedia Addict but now I just lost that jig. --Golden_burg111 00:59, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

I was a bit busy IRL due to academic reasons from February to mid-October, Goldenburg111. I also had some heatlh issues :/ But now everything is okay. Why are you bored with Wikipedia? Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 01:17, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Sorry to hear that with the health issues Ruy. Nice to hear it's taken care of :). Anyways, with the bored with Wikipedia thing. An 11 year old having interest in editing Wikipedia is abnormal, for my age (don't worry a lot of people know I'm 11). So yeah you expect 11 year old's to be playing games. But the reason why i was not interested in Wikipedia as much is because it tends to get boring, I can't really describe it well. But I know I'll get back on my feet again, and that'll be in a few days (hopefully). And yeah, school brings you down far well. --Golden_burg111 14:28, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Please reconsider deletion

You deleted DCG/Community_Lab as an (Abandoned resource). This was under discussion at [1], please see that. There, I suggested a move to the user space of the creator. It was part of a larger resource that had been so moved. I don't know why this piece was isolated; as I recall, the user had moved this one page back to mainspace, perhaps planning to do something with it that never happened.

Guy is new as a probationary custodian and was (very properly) asking. Dave suggested using proposed deletion, which is also done for pages like this.

Generally, we do not delete things like this, move to user space is a very normal response, unless the page is totally and completely obvious as being of no use. The benefit is that this practice does no harm, it causes no controversy or hurt feelings, ever. I had thought of just leaving this alone, since the value of that page is marginal, but today decided to request you undelete and move it. Thanks. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 14:36, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Y Done. Regards, Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 19:26, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 23:24, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Staff Listing

Welcome back! Should we change the listing on the Wikiversity:STAFF page to RadiX? -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 00:56, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

@Dave Braunschweig: Hello! Thank you. And thanks for showing me this page. I am going to update de list to match my current username. :) RadiX∞ 01:31, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Invariant energy - why is deleted?

The page Invariant energy was deleted without any explanation. What is the problem with the page or may be it was a mistake? Fedosin (discuss • contribs)

@Fedosin: Sorry, I deleted the page by accident. It had been blanked by I vandal so that I didn't noticed that. Restored :) RadiX∞ 14:05, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Now it is OK, thank you.Fedosin (discuss • contribs)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Activity Review

Wikiversity has adopted a policy that expects users with administrative rights to be active participants and to regularly use those rights (at least five edits and five actions within the last 12 months). It appears that you are no longer active at Wikiversity and do not currently have a need for administrative rights.

If you would prefer to retain your administrative role, please rejoin us with your contributions and support. If your account remains inactive, we will need to request that stewards remove your administrative rights. Let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for your previous efforts on our behalf.

Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 13:55, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

@Dave Braunschweig: Hi. Sorry for the lack of activity over here. I've been in a wikibreak lately due to issues in my job, but I just returned to Wikimedia projects. I wish to retain adminship since I'm going to more involved with wikivesity projects as I am taking part of some educational wiki projects right now. Thank you! RadiX∞ 13:53, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
