Wikipedia talk:Village stocks/Archive 1

Hey, isn't this fun? What we need now is someone to craft a fine template to place on featured users' pages. Some kind of summons to the stocks... Gwinva (talk) 00:24, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Have a look at Template:Stocks, which I plagiarised from a barn star. Not sure if the phrasing is right. "you have been sentenced to the stocks"? Cast your eyes over it, then if it works ok, we can notify the subjects of this page. Gwinva (talk) 01:09, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Seems about right. Should there be a time period involved or is the sentence for life? Ronnotel (talk) 04:45, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I think the page is for life, as they achieve legendary status. The template is like a barnstar: the recipient can archive, delete or display with pride as so inclined. Gwinva (talk) 06:32, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

How about including Ed Poor for deleting VfD? Aecis^Brievenbus 00:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

go ahead: find a diff or a link so we can all see it. Gwinva (talk) 00:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

That's definitely one for the recursion award. -- ChrisO (talk) 00:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

The deletion deletion? Yeah. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nononsense101 (talk • contribs) 22:46, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Sorry to be a killjoy. But, this is a terrible idea. 1) Humiliating people is not a great way to foster civility. 2) WP:BEANS 3) I can see less mature admins seeking ways to get themselves added to this. In short, no benefit to the project and potential harm. Please reconsider.--Doc^g 15:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I understand your POV. However, please consider that one pre-requisite for holding the mop is the ability to suffer one's ignominy with grace. Also, WP:BEANS may be a bit far-fetched, I think. ;) Ronnotel (talk) 15:33, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

to suffer one's ignominy with grace - so you always ask people before adding them? I'd say one of the pre-requisits is also not to humiliate or celebrate the ignominy of others.--Doc^g 15:48, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

No, not celebrating, not at all. I think you misunderstand. More like a cautionary tale, something that can helpfully help new admins understand where the pitfalls lie and why to take things like WP:NAS seriously. Ronnotel (talk) 16:04, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

That deleting the mainpage is bad isn't rocket science. What is NAS?--Doc^g 16:10, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

NAS = New Admin School, which I'm sure you remember from when you when through it, right? :) Ronnotel (talk) 16:17, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Nope, never heard of it. Sounds like more instruction creep to me.--Doc^g 16:22, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, for example, I didn't realize that deleting the sandbox can take down WP. It's not so far-fetched that a newbie admin might think that the sandbox is an appropriate target for a test of the delete button. Obviously at least one admin thought it was a good idea. Seems to me that would be a nice thing to make sure we all knew. Ronnotel (talk) 16:28, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

The best way to communicate that would be to add a "do not delete" notice to the sandbox. Hoping that people might have read this page is pretty weak.--Doc^g 17:24, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I understand your concerns, Doc, but this is supposed to be humorous, and any real humiliation should be removed. I've expanded the "it's not a pillory" note on the page to read: Please note this is NOT a pillory. Its purpose is to amuse, and in essence is a type of cautionary tale, warning us all of the pitfalls waiting to lure us all in. It should never be offensive or accusatory, and anyone posted is free to remove themselves at any time., so I hope that makes it more clear. Gwinva (talk) 18:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I also am not sure if this page is a good idea. I don't think that admins having to suffer one's ignominy with grace means that it is OK to disregard the feelings of admins who make mistakes. Sure, some of them might really not mind being on this page, but others might, and how can you tell the difference? If you just want to tell a cautionary tale then there is no need to name names. Arthena^(talk) 18:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

You are right: anyone who doesn't want to be here should not be. Hence people are notified of their nomination. (They could even be asked before posting). And some tales might well be best told annonymously. Essentially, this is for those "Fair cop guv, let this be a lesson to us all" type moments. Gwinva (talk) 19:08, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. I'm all for any ideas that can make this a low drama event. Participants in this are just that, participants -free to withdraw at any time. Perhaps we can use the word 'participate' on the project page to make that sentiment clear? Ronnotel (talk) 19:12, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Please then remove all instances where the disparaged person has not consented to inclusion.--Doc^g 19:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I have left a message on everyone's talk page inviting them to do just that. (Except Maxim, who displays his award on his user page, and Animum, who was a self-nom). I'll add something to the project page to suggest willing participants only. And no destructive acts just to get in! Gwinva (talk) 22:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

@Gwinva: Awww. How am I supposed to make a fool of myself then, and end up on the stocks? I have a craving for seafood. Boomer Vial^Holla 19:37, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

How about when a certain Commons admin deleted the deletion requests page? (similar to our XfDs). Could they be included? Majorly (talk) 16:33, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Now that's funny. I personally wouldn't be against cross-project postings such as this, since the "certain admin" is a wikipedia one as well. Since it is an amusing momentary madness, and a good cautionary tale it would certainly qualify. Gwinva (talk) 04:19, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Added. Barnstar coming your way. Gwinva (talk) 01:52, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

A certain user was added to this page over bot null-edits to the main page, but I have removed it for the time being: feeling is still running high at WP:AN, and we don't want to incite anything, or seem to be slinging mud. For incidents like this I think it is wise to sit back and wait until things are resolved. If blocks and bans eventuate, then it is not so amusing. No notice was left on the user page at the time of posting, so we'll leave things for now, I suggest. If everyone can laugh over it in a few days time, then we can re-post properly. Gwinva (talk) 04:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

User:East718 added himself to the hall of shame, but I haven't added any diffs since there was another user involved (as above). Gwinva (talk) 03:26, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

How about this one from the archives: User:Moriori moved the Main Page to Hauturu/Little Barrier Island on November 1, 2005. Move log Sadly Moriori appears to have left Wikipedia, so can't be notified of this - but as a really, really dumb page move, can we add it anyway? Terraxos (talk) 05:34, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Nah, we shouldn't add people who aren't around to be notified. -- ChrisO (talk) 03:45, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

No probs, I am now, and have added my indiscretion to the article. Yes, it was "a really, really dumb page move" but I didn't actually do it, although should have prevented it from happening so accept the responsibility. Penance completed. Moriori (talk) 22:36, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

I don't quite remember who the poor sod was, but trying to remove an edit from the main page, resulting in nobody being able to edit wikipedia for a good part of an hour should deserve a nomination. Anyone remembers? Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 01:30, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Are you thinking of the sandbox (as per header) or main page (as per comment)? Scientizzle deleted the sandbox and crashed WP, and is well-stocked. Gwinva (talk) 07:31, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Can someone find a link to the deleted Main Page? EvilWendyMan 17:11, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Would anyone support me if I nominated this stupid page for deletion? Pzrmd (talk) 05:37, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

No. --Closedmouth (talk) 05:46, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Not I. In addition to actually being funny, this is some tribal knowledge about what NOT to do. Jclemens (talk) 05:48, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

I would not support deletion of this page. It acts as a cautionary tale about the pitfalls that wikipedians can fall down if they're not careful (After all, it is surprisingly easy to nominate the wrong page for deletion. I nearly did that myself but caught myself before comfirming the edit) Looneyman (talk) 21:27, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

This seems on the surface like it's being used more as a pillory for a user who made a genuine oversight/error in judgement. In light of the "bold, revert" part of WP:BRD that's already taken place, however, I'm leaving it under Nominations until there's a little "discussion". – RobinHood70 ^talk 01:44, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

No, this absolutely does not belong here. Hut 8.5 15:11, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

I agree completely. ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 19:18, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

I think that since the title is "Village stocks," "Hall of shame" makes no sense. I think one of the following would be better:

• "Prisoners sentenced to the Stocks"
• "Editors jailed in the stocks"
• "For egging"

In no way do we have to select one of these. I'm open to suggestions.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:15, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

I don't know, surely after they've been taken out of the stocks, they have to be commemorated somewhere? --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 08:25, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

East718 got the "it seemed like a good idea at the time..." award, which I don't think he deserved. I think the revisions (even though he used an unapproved bot) really were a good idea, because there are consequences to deleting the Main Page. He should have gotten the bot approved first, but I think it was a great idea to make the Main Page undeletable. ChromaNebula (talk) 21:07, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

The consequences of his unapproved attempt, however, are what landed him in the stocks. Hence, it seemed like a good idea at the time... - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 21:17, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

What consequences? What happened? ChromaNebula (talk) 00:04, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

I believe it delayed the server for a while? Interchangeable 22:17, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Indeed; choking the server with the massive load the unapproved bot created is the cause of the award. :) - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:50, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

I changed this award recently and was reverted. The title of the award just isn't funny. It's not creative, reflecting on exactly what Master of Puppets did rather than adding to it with a joke. I changed it to Town Crier because it improves upon the idea of MoP's actions: a town crier warns everyone. Any thoughts? Interchangeable 00:07, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

It's been more than a month and no one has commented on this. Will someone please give some input? Interchangeable 18:41, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Good point. I will revert myself and restore it. I'm sorry for the delayed response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChromaNebula (talk • contribs) 20:14, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Why did you revert it in the first place if you approved of it? Interchangeable 21:01, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Your excellent point made me change my mind. I'm sorry for that snappy edit summary I wrote when I made the original edit. It was uncivil and I withdraw it. ChromaNebula (talk) 00:28, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

I don't think it was uncivil. I agree that it should not have been made without consensus. Interchangeable 15:08, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Not that it's a big deal, but is there a log somewhere of Scientizzle deleting the sandbox we could link to? The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 18:33, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Strange, it doesn't seem to be logged anywhere. Possibly the developers did something to stop it from crashing the servers which resulted in the log entry being removed. Hut 8.5 18:44, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Currently the incidents are sorted in alphabetical order. But I think it would be better to sort in chronological order. Opinions are requested. —usernamekiran(talk) 22:40, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Alphabetical order makes sense because the heading titles start with the name of each user in the stocks. Sorting the entries in chronological order would mean adding at least the month and year when they occurred to the heading. IMO there wouldn't be much point in that.

Must have been something in the water yesterday as we had what I'm guessing is a record seven admins blocked for April foolishness involving MediaWiki space. See this AN/I thread. Perhaps a single collective entry for this event? Ronnotel (talk) 15:16, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Maybe. You would need to get them all to agree though. I agree that, although it is a rather silly moment in Wikipedian history, it should be recorded somewhere. Carcharoth (talk) 16:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

These kinds of things are best looked at in retrospective. Let's let it percolate for a couple three weeks and see if it still seems like a good idea. Ronnotel (talk) 18:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Some day, when this all blows over, the Arbcom mail issue with both the election preparation on an official mailing list and the disclosure of contents from that private list should probably be added. If nothing else, it may serve as a cautionary tale to those who may follow behind us. If only it had an amusing component to it. --Nouniquenames 05:19, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

I propose adding the following quote by Colin Lane to the article (in the same format as Wikipedia:Sarcasm is really helpful): "If all the village idiots... left their villages... and formed their own village... OF IDIOTS... in that village... YOU would be the village idiot." Aecis^Brievenbus 13:50, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, an amusing section of "thoughts to consider" like that would probably work. You know, "things to reflect on while in the stocks", but not so it seems to be actually accusing the individuals. This page is to make us laugh, but at the same time make us all stop and think about our actions. Gwinva (talk) 04:23, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Unless someone is making a joke too subtle for my somewhat literalist brain, "blatant disregard of sensibility" is using the wrong noun for the disregarded quality. What is surely meant is "blatant disregard of good sense", or the somewhat clumsy "blatant disregard of sensibleness". "Sensibility" refers to the capacity or character of senses and is approximately a synonym of "sensitivity". Pincrete (talk) 08:54, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

I compiled a table of all the entries listed on this page in my sandbox, including dates derived from this page and other on-wiki information, where I noticed that this this list is skewed towards pre-2012 (which makes sense as Wikipedia was more active then), and there is a large gap between 2017 and 2022, unless I may have miscopied some dates. Are there any other times from several years ago where users accidentally messed up Wikipedia that have not been listed or brought up on this talk page that could go here (depending on whether users who did would like them on this page or not), including during that gap?

Plus, are there also any other major accidents that occurred outside of enwiki (considering one from Commons has an entry here) that could be put here as well? Xeroctic (talk) 20:56, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

But of course. :) (P.S. I think I might actually have the record for largest intentional block of edits: A few years ago I intentionally blocked all IPv4 editing for a few minutes during a vandal-bot raid.) -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 06:35, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
