Re: Reggae-Grind
[edit]you said that one or two bands have to get famous for our genre to be accepted.. the fact of the matter is you should screen things that exist.. ex: you have many genres on this site that only have a couple bands, and ones that have no famous bands (ie: Cyber Grind, Doom Metal, Goregrind, among others). and Reggae-Grind does have at least one band in the genre, and they have an underground following, so they are famous in some peoples eyes.. remember 'fame is in the eye of the beholder'.
reggae grind...again
[edit]maybe u should stop spending so much time being a nazi and trying to ensure your way as hitlers little youth brigade leader, and maybe start learning how civilized people operate with one another in todays society. People went to war in the 1940's to put an end to the needless censorship of what people want others to know as information, instead of moving along in an openminded society which people are attempting to create, you have reverted back to trying to control everything in a facsist internet regime.

Vandal - Re: Nicaraguan Politics
[edit]Re: Eduardo Montealegre Why do you replace a version that has outright innacuracies (i.e. the wrong political party), and nothing but allegations. All you need to do is read the local press and realize that what you are supporting as a credible article is totally biased, stemming from the most corrupt elements of Nicaraguan views. Montealegre worked under the Aleman government, but as soon as his misdeeds became public he disassociated himself from him. Aleman and Ortega entered into a pact and Montealegre is the anti-pact standard-bearer. The most recent polls (today's local press) place him neck-to-neck with Ortega!
Eduardo Montealegre Edit by Academic Challenger Because of my lack of Wikipedia experience, my edit did not have the proper links. My apologies. However, your edition still contains a lot of innacuracies and allegations: (1) Montealegre is not running for the Conservative Party, but for The Nicaraguan Liberal Alliance, to which the Conservative Party has added its support. The Conservative Party, by the way, used to be a very important party historically (before the Sandinista revolution); today it is a tiny party. (2) That Montealegre is a Bush fanatic, etc. is just plain silly and wrong. Such statements do not belong in an encyclopedia. (3) That Montealegre has been "charged" is completely false. The facts (as current as today) are that a self-appointed commission in the national assembly has been threatening to charge Montealegre, as well as the former head of Nicaragua's central bank and the former superintendent of banks with enriching themselves in the issuance of CENIs (government bonds). They are only threats, because there really is no legal ground for those allegations. I will try to correct your "contributions". I would appreciate that you would look further into the truth, before admitting allegations.
I am a member of the Louisiana and Florida Bar and would gladly explain to you the legal grounds for the allegations that Eduardo Montealegre faces. Give me a call, 615-310-9169. Eduardo Montealegre was a stockholder in BANCENTRO bank therefore BANCENTRO bank could not participate in an auction where banks that were intervened by the government were auctioned off. You cannot be, in any modern society, a judge and a party. He also illegaly re-classified the worth of the intervened banks in order to charge the Nicaraguan government a compensation. Regarding the Nicaraguan Press, La Prensa is owned in part by P.J. Chamorro, who is a member of Eduardo's political party and stands to gain a seat in parliament with him. It is clearly biased towards Eduardo Montealegre and has always been seen as a newspaper that glorfies the candidate that the Nicaraguan government favors, who is Eduardo in this case.

Hi, Academic Challenger - You deleted the article Elusion recently, and I noticed that User:El-sheikh (contribs) has recreated it. Just wanted to let you know. See you around! - Tapir Terrific 04:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Your reason for deleting "Russian brides -The Facts" is baseless. I agree that some of the information is opinion based, however, it is based on facts collated from the Department of Immigration and scholarly works. Furthermore, this is based on my own research and experiences. Stifling essential information for those would be men out there seeking a bride is to censure what could be, to some, a life saving and informative article.

Admin coaching update
[edit]You are receiving this message because you are currently listed as a coach in the 'Active' section of the coaching box.
- If the coaching has finished please add your trainee to the archived requests section of the archive, and remove the entry from the coaching box.
- If the coaching is ongoing please continue :) This might serve as a useful reminder to check with your trainee if they have any new questions!
- If you are ready to be assigned a new trainee, or have any other questions, please let me know on my talk page.
Thank you for helping with admin coaching! Petros471 21:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well you were assigned SonicAD - IIRC by Titoxd, who forgot to tell you, which I did. You then showed up at User talk:SonicAD, and asked if he had any questions. I guess you never got a reply from that, and as his contributions show that's he's not particular active I'll archive it, and give you a new trainee. I'm sure he can always come with any questions at a later date if he wants :) Petros471 09:25, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Folajimi is your new trainee, and your fellow coach is Kim Bruning. Petros471 16:20, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

RE: Admin coaching
[edit]As Petros said, it would be a good idea to create a page in your user space to put discussions about admin coaching. Let me know where it is.
- The raison d'être of a user page is unclear to me. It appears to be little more than a chest-thumping tool — an activity I loathe. (By the way, I asked a question about this matter two months ago today, and have yet to receive any response.)
What are some parts of your activity that you would like to have feedback on?
- I'm always open to constructive criticism regarding any contributions I have made to this project. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to leave a not on my talk page.
Have you ever been nominated for adminship?
- Twice. Self nominated in April, 2006 and again in July, 2006.
For the sake of continuity, I will reply to all future correspondence from you on this matter on my talk page. --Cheers, Folajimi (leave a note) 23:09, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Service award
[edit]Hi Academic Challenger. For your rare level of lengthy and intensive service, you are entitled to these WP:SERVICE awards. Herostratus 02:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
I noticed you did a cleanup on this one, and wondered if you had any thoughts on this issue: there's another article on his great-great-grandfather, Cornelius Roosevelt. One is Teddy's grandfather, the other his grandson. Both are actually named Cornelius Van Schaack Roosevelt. One article or two? If two, how should they be titled? Should both the existing article titles go to a DAB page? Neither one appears to have a number normally used on hi name. Fan-1967 15:27, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

- *sigh* that's what i was afraid of and hence haven't reverted again - he's blanking content and inserting POV into wikipedia though, that's blatant POV pushing he's doing - especially after his comments on talk pages (including my own) I really think that should be considered vandalism :( Lordkazan 21:39, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

vandalism of circumcision article
[edit]Academic Challenger, you have indicated that IYO some of my edits "may constitute vandalism". I'd much appreciate it if you sent me a note telling me which edits are of concern to you, and why you think they may constitute vandalism. Thanks. Dasondas 21:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Well, I removed some content after checking the cited reference and noticing that it did not support the text in the article. I removed other content as OR because it made unsubstantiated claims. When I claimed vandalism, it was in response to the wholesale, uncommented reversion of several of my previous edits by an editor who has engaged in personal attacks and has indicated strenuously his intention to attempt to block all of my edits on that subject -- I believe this does indeed constitute one of the definitions of vandalism. Please in the future make an attempt to discuss any such issue with me first before speculating as to what may or may not be motivating or characterizing my behavior. I'm sure you'd expect no less of me if the shoe was on the other foot. Thanks. Dasondas 22:10, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
accusation of vandalism ?
[edit]I added wwtdd.com, which is a popular website that parodies celebrities. You apparently deleted the page and accused me of vandalism. How does this constitute as vandalism ? Thanks for your time. Nunyia 02:44, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for reverting my user page. I'm sorry about all the vandalism. I recently put an article up for AfD and the article subject sent an army of anonymous IPs to sway the AfD.

Yeah, I don't know much about range blocks either: I know how to do a wide range block, but not one of those small ones you usually want so you don't end up affecting too many innocent users.

Thank you for the block of Vrrayman1989. Please note that he's a recurrence of Vrrayman1988, an indefinitely blocked user who is ALSO a sockpuppet of yet a different indefintely blocked user.

- It seems like his original focus (and block) was on topics related to That 70's Show, but he's gotten lazy and now just focuses on general pop-culture pages such as Nickelodeon-related items and MTV. It might be random. Ex-Nintendo Employee 01:02, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank You (Vandalism on Johnny Rebel (singer))
[edit]Dear Academic Challenger,
Thanks kindly for reverting the vandalism on Johnny Rebel (singer). I have had problems with this vandal for two or three weeks now, I suppose, and lately he has been vandalizing the site daily -- almost always by deleting the external link to an online newspaper article about the subject in question. He recently also left racist graffiti on the site. Again, I appreciate your effort! Sincerely, --Skb8721 13:48, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
On the page of Galatasaray i saw a mistake but i cannot revert it becauce the page is under protection , in the Managerial area Yılmaz Gökdel was the manager in 1974-1975 season could you fix this?

Your AIV removal
[edit]I'm having a hard time understanding why you removed my entry on User:Nezigurler with no explanation. It should be pretty obvious that it has nothing to do with any personal issue of mine; I've never worked on any of the same pages as he has or exchanged a single word with him (or anyone else who has had a problem with him) until I issued those warnings. His most recent edit was more uncivil nonsense on someone's talk page, a few minutes after I posted my report on AIV. Aside from blanking warnings on his own page, he has removed cited statements from articles and has used abusive language in his edit summaries. What about that is "not really" vandalism? I put him back in with the assumption that it was just an oversight; if you really think he doesn't belong there, please just clarify the situation for me. Thanks. Kafziel Talk 19:08, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- Never mind. He's been blocked now. Kafziel Talk 20:25, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Why did you delte the page for Kate Michael, Miss DC 2006? There is a page that talks about Miss DC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_District_of_Columbia) and it includes Kate's name, but her name's link goes to an error page. I was just trying to put up a page about her so that the link does something. I don't see why it should be deleted because it's not notable.
