AFD Predictive index[edit]I have now listed the copyvio link on the AFD for this article Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Predictive_Index Fallenfromthesky (talk) 03:54, 11 September 2008 (UTC) A tough one to fix... though I think I did okay for not being able to read Croatian. Can you suggest what else I might do to improve this thing? Thanks, Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 08:26, 11 September 2008 (UTC) Misinformed[edit]The articles for 'Surrender Monkey' and 'Cheese eating surrender monkies' do not exist to legitimise hating the French. Noting silliness is not the same as supporting it. In conclusion, I can understand saying the article is not noteable but to say it exists to hate the French is pointless and wrong. Lots42 (talk) 21:07, 12 September 2008 (UTC) Xidan[edit]Thank you for reopening that non-neutral closure of the deletion debate. The editor in question was very belligerent in their reaction. Also could you point to any sources for the mall? I tried google but did not find anything reliable and then google scholar turned up nothing.Chuletadechancho (talk) 22:36, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
I would appreciate it if you could comment at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive756#Personal attacks by User:Arbiteroftruth (AoT)Chuletadechancho (talk) 01:51, 17 September 2008 (UTC) ongoing vandalism at Michel Platini[edit]Hi there, thanks for semi-protecting the page. These accidents occasionally do happen because the article is vandalized by 2 separate ip/user vandals in succession. Unfortunately Huggle doesn't have an option to restore to previous a reversion :( --Superflewis(talk) 13:09, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
Just a note to remind you that per WP:NAC, non-administrators shouldn't close deletion discussions unless they are nearly unanimous keep after a full listing period, or snowball closures. Stifle (talk) 14:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the revert[edit]Thanks for the revert on the Food packaging article. I really appreciated it. Chris (talk) 15:03, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Your comment at AN[edit]Perhaps you'd like to revisit the discussion? Both Guy and I have proposed solutions for the dilemma. I symapthize with the dilemmas RC patrollers face and there ought to be a way to relieve some of the pressure. Best, DurovaCharge! 23:39, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism question[edit]Thanks for the link to content dispute. Since the user has continued making POV/uncited contributions to Wikipedia, despite many warnings, I had thought it might be sufficient evidence to stop "assuming good faith". At what point does the user cross that "good faith" line?--Rsl12 (talk) 14:21, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Nice work...[edit]About @#@&#^*&#^* time someone did that.

The ever growing list of stub templates[edit]Hi. I wonder if you are thinking of abandoning your proposal here? I'm in favour so I'd be interested to know your thoughts. --Kleinzach 03:34, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
trusted computer system[edit]You redirected trusted computer system elsewhere, saying it is not a proper article. It is a proper article: the US government uses the term in a different way than the one you redirected it to, which I have not read them use yet (though maybe they do) and means something slightly different.--Dchmelik (talk) 06:21, 27 October 2008 (UTC) Help please?[edit]Equendil, I/we need your help. I am the editor who began working on the article Dan Debicella back in late September, attempting to replace copy lifted from the subject's website with some semblance of a proper article. The article has improved a great deal since then and I have been trying very hard to stay on top of it, but there seems to be an individual very motivated to protect Debicella's record who has constantly reverted the good faith edits I have made and was the same person doing that before I even came on the scene. Now they are accusing me of being someone I am not. I don't see this ever ending without some decisive third-party intervention. From what I remember, you were the first, or one of the first, people to realize what was going on. I'm not asking you to take my side or anything, just that you objectively take a look at the article and make any recommendations you see fit, or even just refer someone who could mediate this dispute. I'm getting really sick of it but I also don't want to give up because I know once I do the article will go back to the same crap it was in the first place. Any help at all is greatly appreciated. 64.252.251.75 (talk) 17:29, 24 November 2008 (UTC) Your username[edit]Just saw your comment on the Reference Desk, "I'm out of the office", and was quite interested: what's the etymology of your username? Is it from Quenya, one of J. R. R. Tolkien's invented languages? I ask because (aside from enjoying his writings a lot myself) I saw the "ndil" at the end of your username, but I don't remember reading about any of his characters that have anything like "eque" or "equen".

Rhinoracer (talk) 12:37, 9 January 2009 (UTC) Cinco de Mayo vandalism[edit]On Jan 7, 2009 I accidently observed a vandal attack on Cinco de Mayo and I rolled back the most recent changes but I did not pickup on the earlier more subtle vandalism. I didn't feel qualified to fine tune the article. I looked down the list of recent editors and could not find anyone who seemed to be a seasoned caretaker. On Jan 8, you reverted the article to a month old version. This raises the question: Who should the accidental Good Samaritan inform when an article is being repeatedly abused and needs attention by someone more qualified? (A quick Wikipedia search didn't answer my question.) jwalling (talk) 00:34, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Re: French "out of office" on the language reference desk[edit]Rest tranquil, my friend. Me, I took not the offense. Truly, I had fear of him giving. (Get it?) But, seriously, I think it was I who was too abrupt. Nice to meet you, mon ami. Your sightings are hilarious and so bad as to be hard to believe—"lighter", indeed. --Milkbreath (talk) 03:08, 10 January 2009 (UTC) Debicella Again[edit]Equendil, would you be able to review the article Dan Debicella? I have tried to mediate this article about a local politician unsuccessfully. There are two partisans who continue to edit the page-- one very pro-Debicella, and one very anti-Debicella. The pro-Debicella editor removes information that might be perceived as negative to Debicella, while the anti-Debicella editor misquotes cited sources and uses biased language to make Debicella look bad. I have tried to create a neutral version based on the best of both, but would be good to have a second set of eyes on it--and possibly lock the page or at least bar these two partisans from continuing their edit war. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheBard2 (talk • contribs) 15:56, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Equendil-- thank you for stepping in. As you can see, both pro-Debicella and anti-Debicella editors are a little out of hand. I would encourage you to give a neutral review to the content of the article (as I believe I did), rather than the accusations of both partisans. I would also encourage a long-term lock on the page or stopping these partisans from editing it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheBard2 (talk • contribs) 03:03, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

RfD process[edit]I've been tempted to submit an RfD request for an article which has been a source of frustration for me, but haven't done so because it would probably just make things worse. I noticed your response to an RfD problem on the help page, so maybe you won't mind my running it by you instead. The article is Benzodiazepine Withdrawal Syndrome, and my concern is comes across as fanatacism. I certainly do not dispute the importance of benzo w/d, but my reading of the literature (and, I will admit, my own clinical experience such as it is, I assure you I'm not insisting on the value of original research but it is hard to ignore what is before your own eyes) indicates that the most serious manifestations have been limited to patients with a history of high doses, very long-term use, pre-existing seizure disorders--not the average benzo user. Average low-level users do notice psychological withdrawal symptoms but are not in medical danger and can be tapered fairly quickly. As you will see if you check it out, the Wiki article is alarmist and repetitive in insisting that there is in fact a very high level of danger for all users unless the drug is tapered at a glacially slow pace. In the real world this assumption can keep some people on benzos forever. There are over a hundred references in the article and I have tried approaching them patiently one reference at a time, pointing out where a reference does not say what the author claims. The editor guarding the article is adamant, nothing changes. In a related article (alprozolam) I added a couple of good references of my own to the section on withdrawal and the same editor changed what I wrote to distort what the references said. Should I just give up? It would be easy to do if I could get over the idea that real people are hurt by propaganda like that. I have doubts that an RfD would help. It would likely attract only those who have already made up their minds. Any advice would be welcome.Rose bartram (talk) 12:33, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Trois ou quatre[edit]For someone who can't analyze the structure of his native language, you gave a clear and helpful analysis of all those variations on "j'en ai trois ici" at the Language Reference Desk.

Hi, I'm wondering why the article keeps being edited for the subject Photosystem I to be redirected to "Photosystem." This article is not more than five hours old as of right now. I accidentally clicked on save rather than preview thus publishing the article before I was ready. I am trying to get this article up to snuff as well as get used to wiki at the same time. I have not yet figured out how to trim the fat off of my references list and I have some other issues to work out as well. That being said, I am not engaging in vandalism to my own page. I for some reason thought that if the author of an article edits it, he or she does not need to comment. I guess I didn't read all the guidelines. More important though, is that photosystem I and "photosystem" are not the same. The photosystem I article goes in to a bit more depth about photosystem I specifically whereas the photosystem article covers PS I and PS II on a slightly more superficial level. I feel that the photosystem article has its place as a broad overview of photosynthetic processes and as a gateway to more information about photosystem I and photosystem II, which has its own article. Any explanation would be helpful. Like I said, was not ready to publish yet, and new to wiki writing. Can you help me out? Merci bien Botanicleve (talk) 06:44, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your help. There is one other thing though. I need to use images that already exist in other wikipedia articles but I cannot find any way to cite these images as there are no references on the pages from which they come. How do I need to go about citing images that are already on wiki and under the GNU? Thanks for your help, -Botanicleve (talk) 01:36, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

How about forming an Entente Cordiale to get him to understand that he has to create his own articles if he is serious about this, and not change others that should either be left as they are or have one neutral sentence mentioning atrocities on both sides (both French Army AND Spanish Guerrillas.Willski72 (talk) 12:02, 17 May 2009 (UTC) It also seems that [167.206.29.162], Niaps and Qqtacon are allied on this issue, they have all worked together to create an article on the murdered man.Willski72 (talk) 12:12, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Yes i read an article about the death of the Don and others which was very one sided to say the least. I think waiting to see what the administrators do is a good idea. I expect they will put up stiff resistance as they are very passionate on the issue, but they will have to be good to get out of this one.Willski72 (talk) 18:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC) SNUSP[edit]SNUSP a brainf**k derivative? What? Have you ever programmed in SNUSP? I wonder why you agreed in the deletion of the article, if you are not able to distinguish between brainf**k and SNUSP. By the way, C++ is a derivative of C. And LOLCODE exists still! --Ittakezou0 (talk) 17:35, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
You commented on the talk page of this article. I can find the phrase in a late 19th century work by T Peet and something around 1950 by a Bruce Dickens. The reference just added about mother goddess is not only by someone who I'm dubious about, he doesn't actually use the phrase. I'm tempted to take it to AfD. What do you think?

I have some queries on the classification of the Aviso's and also the matter of re-listing the Porte-hélicoptères Jeanne d'Arc (R 97). Perhaps you could have a look at the articles discussion page as I have outlined it in full there. Thanks. Felix505 (talk) 04:49, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
There has been some section heading renaming going on recently at List of current French Navy ships with frigates getting tagged destroyer and aviso's getting attention both as frigates and corvettes. I have returned the section headers to the earlier descriptions but it may need some monitoring and maybe some (Talk) discussions on the talk page if the problem does not go away. I found the Aviso's described as "Aviso (corvette) (light frigate)" earlier today. "==Guided missile frigates/destroyers== ...The French Navy has three frigates currently active in an anti-aircraft role with a fourth currently on sea trials...." was the other instance I reverted today. As we engaged in some degree of discussion on this matter on the Talk page we would have a reasonable argument to put forward that the matter has been discussed and consensus on the matter agreed to in regard to this article. Knowing the way these things can go I thought it best to seek your engagement sooner rather than later. Regarding Jeanne d'Arc (R 97) some recent citable info turned up on the net so the article on the ship has been updated to some effect. Have a look over it if you have the time. It could still use some decent documentation of the actual life of the ship but at least the end days have a bit more resoulution now.
