View source for Hitchwiki talk:Dxc deletions


I just want to say that I went thru one of the chunks of edits and while its true that the user DxC deleted alot of useful and nice-to-read material (in my humble opinion) I have to add that on the vast majority of the edits the changes where pretty positive, it is clear that the user has read most of whats written since sometimes the corrections are minimal thru a big text. I say all this so as to take this action to restore the nice things that got deleted but dont give the user such a hard time since it seems to me that most of the work is good work.--[[User:Warlo|Warlo]] ([[User talk:Warlo|talk]]) 12:16, 11 May 2021 (CEST)

:Yeah I agree.
:In a way this is also why it took so many of their edits and such a long time for other people to notice and do something about the removals.

== Deleting empty articles? ==

Would you delete articles such as [[Chop|this one]]? I'm slightly undecided, they might be slightly more inspiring to add info to than just a red-link, but on the other side they do exactly what user Dxc wanted to avoid originally, which is to waste time... Opinions?--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] ([[User talk:Zenit|talk]]) 14:03, 11 May 2021 (CEST)

:Im not particularly decided for either option so lets go occam's razor and say that leaving them there is easier than doing something about them. --[[User:Warlo|Warlo]] ([[User talk:Warlo|talk]]) 17:04, 11 May 2021 (CEST)

:Warlo, have you done those? Can we try to say what we will do before doing it so that we avoid losing time?--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] ([[User talk:Zenit|talk]]) 14:29, 11 May 2021 (CEST)

::Nope, I only did those from 2021-02 2021-04. I wrote a note on the chunk before i started working on it and only went for thoe i claimed.[[User:Warlo|Warlo]] ([[User talk:Warlo|talk]])

:::Confused. How did [https://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Oaxaca_(City)&action=history this] happen, then, and a few more like it?--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] ([[User talk:Zenit|talk]]) 15:51, 11 May 2021 (CEST)

:::: I had some very confusing situations until I decided to check only those marked as current, maybe is the same situation? Im checking right now to try and figure out what happened. One thing that im thinking is that I did perhaps some 20 to 40 articles before I realized the currents thing, perhaps I rolled back some stuff from very old edits and that messed up? im looking into it now.[[User:Warlo|Warlo]] ([[User talk:Warlo|talk]])

::::: Ok, so I checked that Oaxaca article you refer to and I dont see the problem. I found that DxC had removed the information on that sweet trustroots spot and I rolled back so that would show up again, the downside is that the Trashwiki and trustroots footer dissapeared which is what I meant with going back thru all my edits/rollbacks so as to add those footers and the positive DxC edits that some articles had besides just content removal. Id say lets move to this article's talk page to discuss any issues we might be finding and try to come out with the best way to go thru all the articles properly. [[User:Warlo|Warlo]] ([[User talk:Warlo|talk]])

:::::: Again on that Oaxaca article was one of the very first articles I edited, and it was not marked as Current, which means that DxC made an edit thats present on my list and then the last edits are on yours. We might find a bunch of those, but I guess what I can do is go and rollback those changes I did on the articles that are not marked as current on my list? Ill see what I can do
:::::::Oaxaca only had one edit, from Jan 30, which is clearly in 'my' chunk -- and on page two, there was nothing left for me to do, you had done everything. So for now I stopped checking because if you've already done everything in there anyway, might just as well not spend my time on it. Let me know if you figure it out :-)--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] ([[User talk:Zenit|talk]]) 17:12, 11 May 2021 (CEST)
:::::::: Its only on my list: 11:02, 30 January 2021 (diff | hist) (-37)‎ Oaxaca (City) ‎ (→‎Sleep), I opened the one you marked as yours and did a search while showing all 500 entries and its not there 100%. Maybe you are going thru my list instead of yours by accident? accidental clicks are known to occur, specially under this heat =P

:Did you not find [https://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Chernivtsi&diff=101714&oldid=101713 this edit] worth reinstating? Or did you not see it? Just trying to understand if the way we're doing it is actually efficient.--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] ([[User talk:Zenit|talk]]) 14:00, 11 May 2021 (CEST)

::It seems like I didnt see it, as thats the kind of content im rolling back. Anyways ive gone thru the ones saying current only, maybe i skipped that one. Im planning to go over my edits as rolling back means that some of the positive edits from user DxC went away and i wanted to put them back in. [[User:Warlo|Warlo]] ([[User talk:Warlo|talk]])

::: Ok, so I went and check my list and there was no entry for [https://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Chernivtsi&diff=101714&oldid=101713 this edit], thats only available in the chunk you are working on so thats why I did not edit it, cause it wasnt on the list im working on.
