Disputatio Usoris:Grufo

Hello, Grufo.

Can you create an article about the American Democratic Vice Presidential candidate en:Tim Walz (Timotheus Iacobus Walz) in Latin Wikipedia, just like for the Republican Vice Presidential candidate Iacobus David Vance?

Yours sincerely, 31.200.11.5 12:48, 31 Augusti 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I did not create the Iacobus David Vance page, I only corrected a few things, mostly of typographical nature. Of course a Timotheus Iacobus Walz page would be a nice thing to have. But asking users to do something for us usually rarely works. --Grufo (disputatio) 13:01, 31 Augusti 2024 (UTC)Reply

I understand. Thank you for the reply. I also posted the same question to the original uploader. Though I think he or she is a "one timer" and might not upload or edit again. 31.200.11.5 13:22, 31 Augusti 2024 (UTC)Reply

I do not know why the original author created Vance's page, but it is not to be excluded that they did it as a consequence of political affiliation (nothing is wrong with that, as long their contribution is encyclopedic), and if that is the case asking the same person to create the page of their political adversary will likely not work. --Grufo (disputatio) 13:27, 31 Augusti 2024 (UTC)Reply

That also later crossed my mind. I personally did not request a translation due to political reasons. I just thought that the other Vice Presidential candidate should also have an article in Latin Wikipedia. Never mind. 31.200.11.5 13:34, 31 Augusti 2024 (UTC)Reply

No problem. Let's see how the original author reacts. --Grufo (disputatio) 13:41, 31 Augusti 2024 (UTC)Reply

To my surprise, the original author uploaded the second article as well. I have thanked him or her and I thank you as well. 31.200.11.5 15:59, 31 Augusti 2024 (UTC)Reply

I am happy they did! :) --Grufo (disputatio) 16:01, 31 Augusti 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Grufo. I just proposed you at Vicipaedia:Petitio magistratus/Grufo. When you have a spare moment, please go there and indicate your willingness -- thank you! Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 08:23, 7 Septembris 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, Andrew! :-) --Grufo (disputatio) 08:46, 7 Septembris 2024 (UTC)Reply

As you may have noticed, you are elected nemine contradicente. An excellent result! I will now attempt to give you the appropriate permissions. I'm sorry I have been absent rather often on real world concerns, and this may continue for a while. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 19:23, 15 Septembris 2024 (UTC)Reply

Done, I think. Next time you log in, verify if you have some unaccustomed powers. Notably, you should be able to delete a page (which should be helpful to you and to others who may need to have a page deleted), and protect a page from some groups of editors, and you should be able to block a user, named or anonymous. Tell me if I can help with anything. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 19:36, 15 Septembris 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hooray! :-) You have absolutely nothing to apologize for, Andrew. I am very grateful for your sponsorship. I hope your real world concerns will soon calm down. --Grufo (disputatio) 21:19, 15 Septembris 2024 (UTC)Reply

Gratias tibi ago, Grufo optime! Me maxime honorasti me ad electionem in circulum magistratuum proponens. Praeter doctrinam meam debiliorem imprimis inopia temporis liberi me monet, ne hoc munus acciperem. Per septuaginta horas cuiusque hebdomadae munere medici occupatus sum. Ideo non prius quam circa mediam noctem ad Vicipaediam nostram accedere soleo. Bis-Taurinus (disputatio) 20:47, 11 Octobris 2024 (UTC)Reply

Gratias tibi ago, Bis-Taurine, quia mihi scripsisti. Paucum tempus non est magnum incommodum, multi sunt magistratus apud nos qui inter se laborem distribuunt (nihilominus a magistratu haud maior labor, sed sapientia tantum requiritur). Nisi tibi displacet “magistratus mediae noctis” fieri, tuam petitionem proponere adhuc cupio. Attamen importunē insistere nolo! --Grufo (disputatio) 22:46, 11 Octobris 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Bis-Taurinus: Demetrium Talpam et Marcum Terentium Bibliophilum nuper proposui; et te, volentem, proponere cupio. --Grufo (disputatio) 08:44, 15 Octobris 2024 (UTC)Reply

Bis-Taurinus Grufoni salutem! Si paucum tempus et peritia mea exigua non impediunt, me canditatum proponas! Bis-Taurinus (disputatio) 05:29, 16 Octobris 2024 (UTC)Reply

Euax! :-) --Grufo (disputatio) 11:47, 16 Octobris 2024 (UTC)Reply

As mentioned in Vicipaedia:Taberna/Tabularium 30#Disney cartoon articles, there are some semi-protected pages that have been protected for 15 years now. Do you think it'd be OK to remove protection from them? I'm asking you because I see you've handled protections before. I also think that there should be some improvement to these pages, as they are generally stubs that have been short for 15 years. Should I start a new discussion at Vicipaedia:Taberna to get someone to add more content to the pages? 2602:306:3384:B280:F98F:6E9D:3FBC:E1BB 16:56, 18 Octobris 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. It seems that the discussion you linked was not really in favour of removing the protection. It is true that four years have passed, however these pages are only semi-protected, all you need to edit them is an account. Have you considered creating one? --Grufo (disputatio) 17:01, 18 Octobris 2024 (UTC)Reply

Some of the pages were unprotected, and those haven't been vandalized since. I actually thought that the discussion was in favor by the end of it. Just a note, I'd have to wait four days to edit after creating an account. However, I was wondering if anyone could add more content to these pages. I saw Babe: Pig in the City was deleted, but could a new page be written to replace it? Also, I see the tag at Rugrats, should that page be deleted? If I create an account, I'll let you know. 2602:306:3384:B280:F98F:6E9D:3FBC:E1BB 17:06, 18 Octobris 2024 (UTC)Reply

That is great! Happy editing! :-)
