Re Barry Bonds 756 Homer

this is already covered at Barry Bonds and doesn't really need a separate article. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 16:36, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, The Catalyst (song)

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, The Catalyst (song). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - The Catalyst. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at The Catalyst - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ② ^talk 20:35, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I provided some feedback on your article Wall Climb (baseball). Hope it's useful. Chevy monte carlo 08:09, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rob Bourdon (drummer)

I see that you re-created the the Rob Bourdon (drummer) article. Unfortunately the original article was redirected to the Linkin Park article because it did not meet Wikipedia's requirements for notability - any article is required to have sources that are reliable and from a respected 3rd party source (WP:RS). While Rob is a member of a highly success band, he cannot necessarily inherent its notability. My suggestions would be to use Google News to find articles that discuss Rob, or reliable web pages that cover his biography. Most fan-runned sites or user edited webpages (like imdb.com) do not meet this criteria. If you have any further questions, please feel free to leave me a message on m talk page. -- StarScream1007 ►Talk 15:22, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, after a number of page moves I have started a requested move to seek consensus regarding the location of the page on the park in Chicago called Lincoln Park. As you have previously moved this page, I thought that you might like to contribute to the discussion at Talk:Lincoln Park (Chicago park). Thanks, —Jeremy (talk) 20:55, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note for Tamzin

@Tamzin: Please permanently purge the threads I just deleted from WP history and records (just like you might for instances of extreme personal attacks) and any associated and similar edits; I was an underage minor (teen) when those edits were made. And please purge this thread and its edits too. Please also purge the parenthesized material of this edit.[1] Thank you in advance. Awolf58 (talk)

Hi Awolf. We do not revision-delete edits just because they document questionable judgment as a minor. (Source: Was a Wikipedia editor as a minor, sometimes showed questionable judgment.) Removing them from a page's history is enough. If you would like me to redact my comment about the behavioral link between this and your other main account, well, I don't think I can do that as long as it's relevant to an ongoing sockpuppetry investigation. Are you willing to stop sockpuppeting? Given that it's been less than 12 hours since I last blocked one of your sockpuppets, I'll admit I'm skeptical.

As to this thread, you are likewise allowed to remove it from this page at any time. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 19:41, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tamzin: Hello, thanks for responding. Would you consider it reasonable for me to use this thread to inform you of the specific locations within the United States article of grammatical quirks (i.e. incorrectly flipped usages of a/an and has/have) that nobody else seems to have noticed over the past 1-2 weeks? If I am allowed to do so, then any reason or motivation for me to sock would stop. Regards, Awolf58 (talk)

Awolf, you need to find a different hobby. I know that's not pleasant to hear, but that's all I can tell you. I know you see yourself as a valuable contributor to Wikipedia, but this community has decided that it does not want your contributions. I've been banned from an online community (not a Wikimedia one) once in my life. It wasn't pleasant. Rejection hurts, and I spent weeks stewing over it. But I got past it. You can get past this too. Step one is not interacting with Wikipedia (and if reading makes you too tempted to edit, then not reading) till you get to the point where the ban doesn't bother you as much. But socking—I gather, from some of the real long-term LTAs I've dealt with—can be addictive. It doesn't get better from here. And right now you're still at the point where maybe, maybe, with a year or two without socking and some very profuse apologies to editors you've harassed, you can someday return to editing. There is a point, though, where an indefinite ban effectively becomes an infinite ban, and you are fast approaching it. And that will only further the vicious cycle. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 01:45, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tamzin: Ok I understand, thank you for being patient and understanding with me, and thank you for all of your hard work at building Wikipedia. I also apologize for the undue stress and burden I’ve placed upon you.

(There is a P.S. about my SPI archive I would like to add here when I have time to do so, and after that, there will be nothing else for me to do or say in Wikipedia) Awolf58 (talk)

Seriously, AW? You didn't even make it 7 hours. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 10:06, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I’ll restore the whole thread and explain. Awolf58 (talk)

"Community" is just Wikipedia code for the loudest and least negative Wikipedians. It is very biased and false to conclude that the entire community has banned me from Wikipedia. For the sake of avoiding drama, I would rather not name-drop the many users who I’ve supported and worked with along the way. The positive people’s voices get drowned out at ANI because there’s a heavy negativity bias there, it’s always about punishing people instead of trying to help with or work with people. Off the top of my head, I can name at least 3-5 people I worked with who didn’t support my ban, but they probably didn’t want to say anything at ANI because then they would also put themselves in the line of fire of the vicious mud-slinging bullying that characterizes ANI. Awolf58 (talk)

There are 3-5 key individuals I worked with significantly who didn’t comment at the ANI sanctions, who might have an opinion that differs from the "consensus", but they almost certainly stayed silent so as not to put themselves in the line of fire. If you’d like, I can offer the names and you can go survey them or have a discussion with them. Awolf58 (talk)

All of which justifies impersonating and harassing people? Come on, AW. The only reason I haven't revoked your talkpage access here is because I was hoping against hope that maybe I could talk some sense into you. But if you have nothing to say other than to defend rampant sockpuppetry, I'll go ahead and flip the switch. Up to you. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 11:32, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Many of the socks actually haven’t been impersonating or harassing people, and I’m not defending sockpuppetry. Awolf58 (talk) 11:38, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate you trying to help, but I don’t think I need sense talked into me, I’m not as naive as most people here in WP are probably leading you to believe. I’m actually trying to work with you since we’re here, which is why I proposed the idea of being willing to point out obvious grammatical errors in the United States article, but you rejected that. So now, those poor grammar spots will take someone an hour to find (if they bother to proofread the whole article) compared to the 3-5 minutes it would take if we actually worked out the plan I proposed. Awolf58 (talk) 11:41, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For what it’s worth, the 5Lilac Hebrew-character user re-introduced many grammar errors and undid completed edit requests by doing blanket reversions, maybe the impersonation was vigilantism, but at least there’s a purpose because after being blocked and begging to be freed, I’m sure next time he/she will actually look at the content of the individual edits before undoing them instead of the arbitrary mass sweep reintroducing shitty work like that. Awolf58 (talk)

I think we're done here, AW. I hope that eventually you'll understand what I meant by needing to find another hobby. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 11:48, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
