Child prodigies
[edit]You appear to be too zealous in deleting useful factual information. For example, Lavinashree, and Ujwal Bhat are true child prodigies; Fadul and Usain have been true child prodigies, getting the interest of psychologist when they were in their childhood, but somehow failed to make their mark in later life.PFlores3 (talk) 10:38, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
May I suggest that you discuss first before deleting. You delete too fast and too much.MCLeander (talk) 00:50, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
I can see that you appear too delete-hungry to not a few but to many Wikipedians. Take it easy, buddy. HuntingTarsier (talk) 12:54, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
What is this, attack of the redlink sockpuppets? Freqsh0 (talk) 19:20, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
I am not a sock puppet. Freqsh0, kindly stop it. Your delete frenzy is very counter-productive.Bunsoy (talk) 09:51, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
May I suggest that Freqs0 try to focus on other articles. This edit war is such a waste of time and energy. CosmicAnthropologist (talk) 11:03, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Another sockpuppet? Your account was created a few days ago and your only edits on WP to date are to undo my edits in that article, just as the other sockpuppets are doing. No, sorry, you may not suggest anything. -Freqsh0 (talk) 16:27, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
What was the previous deletion discussion for this? I didn't see one. I've declined the speedy for now; please feel free to take this to AfD (or get me the previous link and I'll go ahead and delete it). Karanacs (talk) 19:01, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation - I figured it was some kind of mixup like that. I think it ought to go to AfD. Would you like to take it, or should I? Thanks! Karanacs (talk) 19:27, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- The references are okay. I think that this is essentially a repeat of information that is (or should be) in American Civil War and Military leadership in the American Civil War. It is extremely POV and appears to be full of OR (despite the citations to some things), and it is written in an essay-like tone. I don't think this belongs as its own article at all, and even if it did it would need extensive cleanup. Karanacs (talk) 19:43, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
Your deletion in Albert Einstein
[edit]I am wondering why you made this deletion from Albert Einstein. Without an edit summary it looks like vandalism. —teb728 t c 06:22, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Jose Fadul
[edit]Hi Freqsh0, do you know what to do for a repeat sockpuppet offender? I was following the Fadulj sockpuppet investigation and I noticed that he's up to the same thing again. I recently removed some references to him from List of chess historians and Experience, among others, and he's gone and put himself back on with the same kind of defense as before. 112.205.158.76 is a Filipino ISP making edits mostly on pages related to the Fadulj account. Ditto with user FadulJA. I'm not even sure how to start a sockpuppet investigation, or even if there's something else that should be done first. Can you help? I'm posting this on User talk:LessHeard vanU too. Thanks! Kleptosquirrel (talk) 05:06, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
