post by 198.37.25.76

So, what's your basis for reporting my changes to the list of billionaires as vandalism? (unsigned) -- User:198.37.25.76

For starters, the burden of proof is on you, not me. Wikipedia is only for the verifiable. Also, you're referring to List of billionaires (2005) which starts with "What follows is the list of billionaires, ... by Forbes". As far as I know, even if you can proove that Floyd Woods is a rich guy, he still wasn't on the 2005 Forbes list. ~a (user • talk • contribs)

Blushing. Spent a lot of time tweaking that thing! Glad it's useful. On another, rhetorical front, why are the list of billionaires articles such an incredible draw for vandals? Like moths to a flame. Drop me a message anytime.--Fuhghettaboutit 22:42, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

wikipedia advice time! Desitin seems like a sketchy article to me. what should be done about it? also - somewhat related - what is the difference between afd and prod? thanks! stolenbyme 05:36, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

thanks much. i also found it odd that there were no citations for the included info on that entry. stolenbyme 05:39, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
at least it makes sense this time around!  :) stolenbyme 19:28, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

revert subtle vandalism on List of billionaires (2004)

That wasn't "subtle vandalism" at all, but never the less, it happened like three months ago. How did you find it? ~a (user • talk • contribs) 04:29, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

No great sleuthing skills, just luck and a bit of curiosity. I came across this list quite by accident, and I noticed that the person in question was a red link. I figured if this person was a billionaire and relatively high up on the list then Wikipedia should have some sort of coverage considering 70%+ of the people below had coverage. A quick google search showed no one by that name was a billionaire, and that the change was done by an anonymous i.p. Perhaps subtle is the was a wrong choice - Overlooked is probably a better choice. --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 05:10, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Stop deleting the glossary of legal terms from the collection agency article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RRSMONDO (talk • contribs) 13:53, July 2, 2006 (UTC)

You are wrong, I sat here for 3 hours typing that page. I also googled "Letter sent by the attorney's" and I didn't get a list of legal terms like you claim. It is a good place to find all the legal lingo that collection agencies use to try and intimidate debtors. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RRSMONDO (talk • contribs) .

Re: Spam

You shouldn't feel bad at all. We are building an encyclopedia and he's come here to subvert it for dishonorable purposes--it's patent spam so don't feel a bit hesitant. It's probably also a copyvio (note that one of the entries on his list has a doubled definition, making it likely to be a copy and paste job from somewhere) and to top it all off, I am an attorney and I can tell you that those definitions are very, very poor. If he continues, continue to warn--that's important because if it doesn't make him stop, it's also the way to properly ask for him to be blocked (reverting vandalism without warning is a pet peeve of mine). It works like this, after a series of warning has been given up through a final warning, in this case I would use {{spam2-n}}, {{spam3-n}} {{spam4-n}} (each of which which you would type like this: {{subst:spam2/3/4-n|NAME OF SPAMMED ARTICLE}}, if an additional transgression occurs after a final warning that was given within week, and the new edit was within the last one or two hours, you can ask for a block over at WP:AIAV. By the way, note that WP:3RR does not apply to reversions of simple vandalism, which includes spam.--Fuhghettaboutit 07:59, 4 July 2006 (UTC)


You guys win. I will not post * - Glossary of legal terms anymore. I would like to thank you for finding that mistake on my page, I have fixed it. If you can answer one question for me, Why is *ACA International - The Association of Credit and Collection Professionals. acceptable to have as an external link? They are spamming for companies to give them $1000 to sign up to be a member. I believe that sites that want money to sign up is against the rules. Am I right? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RRSMONDO (talk • contribs) 18:35, July 5, 2006 (UTC)

Latest test to list of billionaires

Thought you might like to know of the following template that would fit better for Dannyboy, who you warned after he did a test but then reverted himself: {{selftest}}. By the way, I think I may ask for s-protection for the list of billionaire articles given their constant draw for vandals--Fuhghettaboutit 18:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Burning towel

Hey, i nominated burning towel for {{db}}. Just a note: {{subst:testarticle-n}} is better than {{subst:test1-n}} for test articles because it's more specific. In fact, in this case, it's clear spam, so {{subst:spam1-n}} might be better too. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 15:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you - noted.  (aeropagitica)  (talk) 


Wuddn't me

You recently gave my user page a tag for creating the nonsense page WebComicsNation.com. I did not create this page. I nominated it for DB. You can verify this by looking at the history for WebcomicsNation.com. I understand it was likely a simple mis-click, but I would appreciate it if you would remove the tag from my user talk page. Thank you.--SweetNeo85 03:42, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

No prahblem mahn.--SweetNeo85 21:51, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: nonsense article Chen Bao Shen

Actually I was intending to expand my "nonsense" article on Chen Bao Shen today, but you deleted it before I had a chance. Pls give people a chance to finish their projects before you call them nonsense. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Niohe (talk • contribs) .

Chen Baochen was not deleted. It still exists. On a related note, I cannot delete articles. I am not an administrator. If you article gets deleted it's because an administrator deleted it (and sometimes it is first nominated for deletion by a non-administrator). Also, please sign your posts by putting ~~~~ at the end of messages you put in talk pages. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 18:58, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that. Go ahead and make the changes again (or I will if you've moved on). Fireplace 22:18, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. The user is uncivil too. Fireplace 22:24, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Messy day

Thanks for the message. That was not the only mess I made. See this. I have welcomed the user in the appropriate manner again. Everything correct I hope. Actually I was busy with a few articles and made the messes. Must be more careful next time. Thanks once again. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 14:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

J4J and the template

Since you don't seem to be involved in the matter prior, you may be interested in knowing that the template is in fact used on many articles not just those in the "series" and the word series in the template in fact links to the general Christianity category. JoshuaZ 13:15, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh, thank you. Do you have an example? ~a (user • talk • contribs) 14:54, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Cathedral Great Lent Shakers Ante-Nicene Fathers Traducianism would be some of many examples. JoshuaZ 17:35, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Oops

My bad. Thanks for the reminder. JoshuaZ 19:05, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Now that I find that the tag I placed on that image is not the appropriate one, I do think it should be replaced. DrWho42 07:02, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

MAC Address submission

Hi, I just made a nice webpage explaining how to change data on an EEPROM using EEPROM readers and writers and it was removed by you, I was just wondering why and what I can do to make it comply with your standards? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 156.99.75.2 (talk • contribs) .

User talk:81.158.88.164

You posted on my talk page that I am in danger of being blocked from editing in the future but why would I be blocked? As I havnt broken the three-reverts per day rule. And the reason that I have reverted the Matthew Shepard article is because I think it is VERY disrespectful to Matthew's memory to refer to him as "Shepard". 81.158.88.164
