Notes

Please post under here...

There are several users who want to become admins, I've set up a discussion on the moderators notice board. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 21:37, 17 October 2010 (BST)

Please could you start me off becoming an Admin? I have wrote a few pages myself that where empty as well as editing current ones as I am kind of OCD on layouts and formatting. I often help Alan in his Admin dutys (reporting pages, problems, ect) and im sure if you asked him he could tell you how I help him. I have lots of free time to read through changes and are often on computers for most of the day so I think I would be able to help the Wiki. Read my page to find out more about me or ask Alan. What else do I need to do to become one or prove me worth? Many thanks, Taylornator

I've read the Admin Policy and I just wanted to know. What is the minimal specs to become an admin, and how far away I currently am away from it.

Alan 18:35, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

There is no real minimal specs to become and admin, we just take requests and then discuss between ourselves whether you are fit for the job. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 18:48, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Chris, can you start me on the trial? Alan 09:31, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Chris, can you get the following extensions installed?

• Wiki Parser Functions
• Who's online?

Alan 14:19, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Not at the moment, but maybe over summer. The problem with extensions is that the mediawiki extension hooks keep obsoleting them and they usually aren't official production versions so they take longer than expected to install and maintain. DavidB 16:51, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

About my admin trial, I'd like to know how I'm doing. Could you please post a review on my talk page of what I've done good, what I've done bad, things that I could improve on and what you want me to start doing in the future.

It's been over way over a week since my admin trial started, I'd just like to know how I'm getting on.

Alan 16:46, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello Chris can you make me an administrator please I will help you make pages and do anything you say. Can you please start a trial of about 2 weeks to see if I fit the bill, Thanks-Woozle44 User:woozle44 19:47, 30 april 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, he can become an administrator for now. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 20:47, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

I didn't insult anyone, I just recounted an incident which related to the person has it was related to me. I was not being insulting or offensive yet i was threatened with a ban from William (woozle44). My dad saw this and thought this was an abuse of admin power has the information was regarding something known within the class and was dealing with how the name occurred, not has an insult or insulting term.

It seems that to me that if both Alan and William are admins then they should then operate as admins and not seek to bully others who have not been insulting but have just stated a diffence of opinion. The site is not for some minority to control the majority though i agree that bullying should not be tolerated but this goes for the admins too.

Hello Chris, Can you please delete the page REBECCA LEYLAND at the request of her parents. Thanks

Deleted, and I'll make sure it doesn't return. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 16:54, 1 November 2010 (GMT)

Old Stuff

Hi, I have spoken to a teacher today, Mr Proudman about his page, and he was concerned about things mentioned about it private life outside of school. After this incident I think we should make a privacy policy for the teachers' (mainly) sakes. This is where it should be written: BRGS Wiki:Privacy policy. I'll help out creating it as well. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 15:40, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, if that gets put on that policy page, then it should be okay and we can update it if required, if you scroll to the bottom of the screen Privacy Policy actually appears, but when clicked on, it goes to a blank page (the link I sent you), so it can be made to fill in that link at the bottom as well. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 16:09, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi again, nice to see you. Its been a bit hectic over the last few weeks, trying to sort out arguments. They all want to be admins and then seem to be falling out with each other, requesting each other to be banned. I was unsure what to do, and that was why the argument page was created. Glad to see you back, and we can now have some more sanity back on this wiki. Thanks Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 16:44, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Hold on I have never tried to get anyone banned unless they have done something completely unacceptable. In fact it is all one sided with SellersWithAnN trying to get me banned.Campon Hoyle your friendly neighbourhood editer 17:01, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the clear guidelines on bans. As you can see SellersWithAnN's arguments for having me banned were not acceptable. I am sorry if I have made a few mistakes but if everything went to plan we wouldn't need admins. I have never intentionally committed vandalism and the ban imposed on me by BRGSMan had no evidence to justify it.

Just to point out, I'm not having a go at anyone, just clarifying some points. Thanks for your understanding! - Chris ^{talk - mod}

Is there anything you need me to help out with? I am available for the time being. Thanks Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 17:12, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Not particularly, just check over the new bans policy and whatever, see if I've missed anything. Otherwise keep up the good work :) Chris ^{talk - mod}

Hi, I was also wondering what happened to the User Score Chart, it is now just an invalid special page, and I would love to see my rank on that chart. Do you know where its gone? Thanks Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 17:29, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

No idea I'm afraid. I know when Clizard upgraded the software some of the plugins broke. I haven't got the access to fix it though. Chris ^{talk - mod} 18:01, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

I was wondering if we have an adminship policy or is it just down to the admin to decide criteria. Campon Hoyle your friendly neighbourhood editer 17:33, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

What do you mean? If you mean selecting who should be an Admin, it's the Bureaucrats' decision. I appear to be the only active one at the moment. Ultimately it's Clizard's decision as the owner. Chris ^{talk - mod} 18:01, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

To add, another problem I noticed was that files cannot be uploaded, is this because of the problem above? Its just that I can get images to upload. Thanks Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 18:30, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Sorry I meant to say is it the bureaurats decision. Campon Hoyle your friendly neighbourhood editer 20:45, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Can you give me hand with deleting some templates I accidently imported? Its in the Import Log. Thanks Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 18:20, 3 February 2010 (UTC) Done now, doesn't matter.

Camponquiggers has now been banned for a week, do you think this is a suitable punishment or should it be longer, because of all the vandalism? Thanks Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 20:39, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

A week sounds fair. Not like they haven't had enough warning Chris ^{talk - mod} 08:12, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I agree, there are a couple of candidates that could be considered... if they ask us we can assess their edits and make a fair decision. Maybe we should make a page regarding this policy. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 12:04, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Add anything to Administrator Policy if you think it needs to be changed. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 12:35, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Magical Trevor wants to be an admin...What do you think? Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 12:40, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Actually I think that link on wikipedia is helpful in 'promoting' the wiki. That's how I found it, the day when I changed the words chess club into Chess Club! Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 22:52, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

What is the future of the caption competition? You took the link to it off the main page, is this the end for it? Shall it be deleted? Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 22:29, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

One of the slight problems is that images can't be uploaded and I also fear the lack of users could become a problem. You see, the youngest regular editors appear to be in Year 9, and if no younger users get involved, then possibly the wiki could be relying on past students to keep it alive. Just a thought. Let me know what you think Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 22:40, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Please could you consider making me an admin because I am helping stop the vandals and I have been contributing sensibly. Magical Trevor 22:28, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Just missed a vandal session, but we coped quite well...just about thanks to a bit of help from Magical Trevor. Just shows that we don't need that many admins. Just a good job we were online. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 21:27, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Work Experience still running, my friends and probably Eve did this last week. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 21:34, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Red Links

There's been a lot of deleting of red links, which yeah, makes the page look better, but seeing a red link could encourage people to actually create the page, and if the page does get created, it means not having to go back into all the pages and put the links back in. Just wondering what you guys think.

Eve 16:48, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm Connor's best friend, and he told me that he was vrry upsept about some of the contnet, espeshially the bit about things that annoy him and the names that annoy him TheJanitor 16:45, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

yes but the stupid thing was i was the one that had to fix it and i dont think he should have done it in the first place ! tubbzw

Magical Trevor

I would like to ask if we could investigate possible scokpuppetry by the user of this account. I belive some of the accounts he has used include:

User:!!!quigger!!!

User:Idiot123

User:Mee

User:Randomer123

User:Randomer777

User:Randomer789

User:Randomer999

Camponhoyle ^{Your Friendly Neigbourhood Admin - Me!} 18:30, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Ah, the green eyed monster of jealousy, I have to admit, this accusation is true, I know for sure. But surely Magical Trevor has put his vandalism past behind him, as I did back in September, in that notable Camponhoyle wikipedia scandal. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 18:27, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Hold on - put them behind him ! He has made a sockpuppet today and then banned it. Probably to make himself look good. Camponhoyle ^{Your Friendly Neigbourhood Admin - Me!} 18:34, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't think you are doing your admin chances any help by posting this. Just a thought. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 18:37, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

People will be banned as and when it is necessary to do so. Speculating about who owns an account is pointless. We have a clear Bans policy for vandalism, I don't really see what more we can do. Admin status is not about power, or settling grudges, or bragging rights - it is effectively a job and a responsibility. If people are abusing that responsibility their status will be revoked. Chris ^{talk - mod} 18:39, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Camponhoyle

Camponhoyle wants to be an admin as well, what do you think? He seems to have a lot of good edits. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 14:21, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Magical Trevor has had his two week trial period, I think he has done a good job, considering there hasn't been that much action lately. I think he should stay as an admin. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 15:57, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Just saw on your page... congratulations on your engagement from me and all my friends. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 17:21, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Matthew hoyle was blackmailing BRGS man (LQ) to become an admin or he would get LQ in trouble at school. This is unacceptable and i suggest hat you block MatthewHoyle without hesitation for clear use of cyberbullying

Camponhoyle has been desperate to become an admin, so I've given him a week to prove himself. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 18:28, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

You better get around to un-doing that BRGSMan, as you know he was blackmailing you to do it. Sellers (WithAnN) 19:16, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

What should the banning/vandalism rule be for breaking the privacy policy? Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 19:02, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

I agree totally, and the change can be made to the vandalism and banning policies. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 19:07, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Woah, changes much? Anyway, in regards to the privacy policy, posting people's previous schools? Does that include primary schools? Because that would involve a lot of changes to a lot of pages (including my own) and I really don't see how it could be an issue in regards to privacy.

Eve 21:10, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

my page

Hey there's a page that keeps being vandalised and its actually mine and i really don't want it up here anymore. its just cyber bullying and i cant be bothered dealing with it. thanks.

Done, but somebody can still make it again remember. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 20:46, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Username policy

Just a small policy to keep the username banning consistant, add what you see fit. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 20:04, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
