| Hello <b><span style="color:Black;">VirtualSteve</span></b>, | |||
| ''']''' is holding a ''' month long Backlog Elimination Drive to de-orphan articles which have orphan tags'''!<br /> | |||
| == Topic ban == | |||
| The goal is to '''eliminate''' the backlog of orphan articles. There are currently '''{{formatnum:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:All orphaned articles}}|R}}''' articles which have orphan tags. The drive is running from '''April 12, 2014 to May 12, 2014'''. | |||
| Awards will be given out for all editors participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the drive. '''To add your name in the participants list click ].'''<br /> | |||
| Thanks for your offer which I'd like to accept since ] has withdrawn. I found this on my system: “McCready has recently come to my talk page to discuss his topic ban. A lengthy discussion lasting a couple of weeks (with another's input) ensued. That discussion has been archived but is linked here in full. At the conclusion of that discussion I decided not to remove McReady's topic ban. I note that topic ban only has about 30 more days to run at this time.--VS talk 21:12, 4 March 2009 (UTC)” March 2009 and now it's December. The intent of your message was to say he'd be OK after 30 days. Surely my behaviour and contributions since the flawed banning (I was unable to defend myself, "the community" was exposed to a misleading block log and some admins spoke in my defence) and since March 2009 deserve merit? ] (]) 03:18, 3 December 2009 (UTC) | |||
| So start de-orphaning articles! Click to see the list of articles need de-orphaning. <br />Visit ] to know more! | |||
| * I have looked at the extent of your latest conversations and complaints regarding this matter. I note that you always argue that you are in the right and that the community is in the wrong. Indeed you have very poor form in relation to the accepting of any decision and your sour grapes running off to ANI in recent days when again you do not gain a decision in the terms you want is a very good example of this also. In short I am unwilling to look further into your current topic ban. I also do not appreciate you taking my words of some time ago out of context from the full set of diffs relating to your topic ban. To reiterate the words of another reasonable editor who recently commented on this issue ....

But hey, thanks for your abuse because given your past form I really didn't expect anything different. Taking you at your word was obviously a mistake. Just for the record, wasn't it you who acknowledged the block record was misleading or irrelevant (despite it being made much of during the decision to ban)? Do you seriously think "the community" was represented in the decision when admins spoke against it? As for "sour grapes", if it's sour grapes to ask for a logical and coherent approach then I'm guilty. If it's sour grapes to accept your invitation then I'm guilty. Sorry you reacted so badly to having your own words played back to you. Once again, unfortunately, another example of the type of admin I have come to know on wikipedia.

Kevin was the admin who tried to support your request but who you then lambasted at ANI (that is the sour grapes I am referring to) and who you even took a somewhat cowardly dig at with regards his personal unfortunate circumstances.

Once again you have proved your worth - wrong assumptions, refusal to discuss (block record in my last note here), dismissing other people with insults and now a threat. Well done.

| == deOrphaning script == | |||
| Hello everyone! I was just working on responding to a couple bug reports for a script that I worked up as part of a request from this project, and I noticed that only a couple people (who weren't even on this mailing list) are actually using the script. A little history on the script: In March of 2014, {{Noping|Jim Cartar}} came to my user talk page and said he ] in acquiring a script for a backlog drive that he was working on that could keep track of and score deOrphanings for a scored backlog drive. I took that request to the project's talk page (]) and there was near unanimous support for this. I thought about the proposal and decided the best way to do it was to build a new script (which is still no where near as comprehensive as {{Noping|Manishearth}}'s ]) and build into it a mechanism that will make BLD scoring easy. | |||
| What I'm wondering at this point is, since there appears to be only two people using the script, should I continue to develop this script with a goal of using it for scoring BLDs or just debug the existing script and leave it at that. Thanks for any replies or comments. | |||

deOrphaning script
Hello everyone! I was just working on responding to a couple bug reports for a script that I worked up as part of a request from this project, and I noticed that only a couple people (who weren't even on this mailing list) are actually using the script. A little history on the script: In March of 2014, Jim Cartar came to my user talk page and said he needed some help in acquiring a script for a backlog drive that he was working on that could keep track of and score deOrphanings for a scored backlog drive. I took that request to the project's talk page (BackLog Drive "DO" (De-Orphaning) script proposal) and there was near unanimous support for this. I thought about the proposal and decided the best way to do it was to build a new script (which is still no where near as comprehensive as Manishearth's OrphanTabs) and build into it a mechanism that will make BLD scoring easy.
What I'm wondering at this point is, since there appears to be only two people using the script, should I continue to develop this script with a goal of using it for scoring BLDs or just debug the existing script and leave it at that. Thanks for any replies or comments.
