Vandalism?

Try and add deceased to the Pantera band infobox and see how quick Wikipedia Administrator Nufy8 reverts it. Administrator Wiki alf also makes a practice of rm'ing 'deceased' from band infoboxes. My edits were not vandalism and you use a false edit summary in reverting them. Please be more careful next time. Now all your rv's... have to be rv'd.... which is very time consuming. 156.34.209.209 11:20, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is covered in the Ifobox guidelines. The fields are to be used specifically for what they are prompting for. Example genres=Just genres... not Genre1(19XX-19XX), Genre2(19XX-19XX)..etc. Same goes with members. No years... no "instruments played"... no living/dead notation. The role of the box is to be brief. Fine details are meant for the body content of the article itself. Hope this helps. 156.34.209.209 11:31, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not editing from an account? I am a former logged in editor with over 20000 edits. But over half of my edits were warnings on IP user talk pages. I so a growing "anti-IP" trend and felt this went against what Wiki was all about(despite my own seemingly "anti-anon" edits/warnings) I decided one IP ought to be noble and trustworthy... so I rejected my previous account and became an anon myself. Over 20000 anonymous edits later and I still feel "right" about what I did. Wikipedia was built on anonymous contribution. When I am at work my IP is static. And that IP has numerous Barnstars for anonymous contribution for what I have tried to accomplish. If had wanted "personal Wiki-glory" I'd start using my name again. But names are only good for those who feel they want to be an admin(a nomination i turned down 15 times). Unfortunately, the way Wikipedia works, if an "anti-anon" admin sees your report to ANI I could be blocked. I have lots of Wiki-admin friends who would unblock me.(Wiki alf, Bubba Hotep, JoanneB...etc) But I will not ask them to should it happen. That would not be proper protocol. Wikipedia is a noble project. For both logged users and anons too. WP:AGF is one of the most important rules here. Although I admit my own AGF is stretched thin and only reserved for those who have earned it. And to me, you have earned mine because you felt you were helping Wikipedia. And there's never anything wrong with that. Have a nice day. 156.34.212.9 11:51, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In reply to your comment. Vandalism removers, like me, have kinda grow prejudiced to anons because of the amount of vandalism. Wikpedia is about a community of people, personally I think registered users are the community, and having a user name would cut down the confusion, you'll find that registered users spend more time on wikipedia because of the sense of community. Anon users don't stay long, and if they do, they get an account. However, your intentions were the best.

Happy editing. Delta40[talk] 11:58, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I am very good at reverting vandalism. I must admit to being a bit a hypocrite. Yes I am an anonymous editor(sort of... lots of people recognise 156.34 edits) but at the same time I am also very prolific... especially vandalism. This is because I cheat a little and I still use my old username to access my old vandal hunting tools... which gives me "the blacklist" :D . It's so much easier... logged or unlogged... when you can see a great big B beside an IP or username and know that that person is likely up to no good. I can't reject my old account completely because I depend so much on the blacklist. I rv over 200 acts of vandalism/day... most days. That is the bulk of what I do. Policy/guideline peeving just takes over me every so often. Like today. My edits were still valid. The blocking admin has unblocked me.(although I had pretty much unblocked myself) Happy editing to you to. 156.34.213.233 12:14, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Kim Min-ki

A tag has been placed on Kim Min-ki, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- lucasbfr ^talk 13:55, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Science lovers wanted!

Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah (talk) 00:57, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Invite to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most geography, wildlife and women articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 55 African countries, so should be enjoyable! Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African wildlife articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance. If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing any article related to a topic you often work on, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Might be a good way to work on fleshing out articles you've long been meaning to target and get rewarded for it! Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:54, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
