GlassCobra 20:35, 25 August 2007 (UTC) I caught and reverted both of his vandalisms on your page. I put him up on AIV right afterwards, so no worries. He'll catch an indef one way or the other. Peace. Bullzeye (Complaint Dept./Brilliant Acts) 20:36, 25 August 2007 (UTC) Yeah, he's actually a sockpuppet of another user that I've previously quarreled with. I reported him to WP:UAA, so like you said, he'll get the boot one way or another. Thanks again. GlassCobra 20:38, 25 August 2007 (UTC) I've always said a good no-BS way to determine what an editor's made of is how many times their user page has been vandalized. Needless to say, you seem to be pissing off just the right people :) Bullzeye (Complaint Dept./Brilliant Acts) 20:41, 25 August 2007 (UTC) It's funny that you mention that, actually; this guy was nothing compared to the last vandal on my pages. He was VERY persistent. It took me and three other users to undo all the changes he made to my page and my created articles. GlassCobra 20:47, 25 August 2007 (UTC) No joke, brother. Been there done that...it sucks the Project's such a magnet for the mental midgets of the world. I guess if they weren't here they'd be on Slashdot or Usenet (or throwing rocks at cars outside their house)...oh well, I figure all we can do is make like Jim Morrison: keep our eyes on the road and our hands upon the wheel. Bullzeye (Complaint Dept./Brilliant Acts) 20:54, 25 August 2007 (UTC) Yeah man. Well, keep on truckin'. Happy editing, and see you around. GlassCobra 21:08, 25 August 2007 (UTC) No prob, boss. Drop me a line if you ever need help with something. Or if you want a nom for WP:RFA. Bullzeye (Complaint Dept./Brilliant Acts) 21:23, 25 August 2007 (UTC) Likewise, dude. I'd be happy to nominate you for the mop. GlassCobra 21:43, 25 August 2007 (UTC) The End's Not Near, It's Here Hey, just letting you know that the edits you reverted by 74.117.11.63 were clearly removal of vandalism; it even clearly states "removing vandalism" in the edit summaries. You even warned the person for fighting vandalism. Please take closer looks at the content that you're restoring from now on. Donkey Kong? Come on, man. GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 04:27, 26 August 2007 (UTC) My mistake. I apologized to the anon editor. Owen× ☎ 15:44, 26 August 2007 (UTC) Pardon me, but I'd like a response to my previous comment, or at least an apology to the anon editor involved. User:OwenX has already apologized. Actually, I find your warning highly ironic: "Please be careful when editing pages and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason." I consider fighting vandalism a pretty good reason. As I said before, please be more diligent in reading the content that you are restoring. Even with a cursory glance you would have seen terms like "Donkey Kong" and "Rosie O'Donnell" and known that the content did not belong. GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 16:44, 26 August 2007 (UTC) I'm sorry but, in fairness, your first message didn't actually ask for a reply or even an apology for that matter. Anyway I meant to reply to the message on your talk page and his after I archived it but I got distracted with bigger, real life issues. Here is where I'm asking for forgivness for not getting back to you sooner. Clearly reverting their edit was a huge mistake and I apoligised to anon user for it. I also deleted the warning from his talkpage. Also when I reverted his edit, he didn't actually have an edit summary filled it saying "undoing vandalism" etc as it was blank. It was unexplained thats why I gave anon user that particular warning. But I apoligised now as I was clearly mistaken and everybody is happy and can move on from this experience. AngelOfSadness talk 18:57, 26 August 2007 (UTC) Okay, fair enough, sorry that I wasn't clearer about desiring a response. No hard feelings all around. Happy editing! GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 19:06, 26 August 2007 (UTC) It's fine. No need to worry about it. I'll see you around. Happy Editing :D AngelOfSadness talk 19:11, 26 August 2007 (UTC) Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for the message about my edits. I was wondering why I was getting warnings when it was obviously vandalism and I had stated it the second time around. You didn't need to message them about it but you did, and I really appreciate it so thanks again! :) (74.117.11.63 04:23, 6 September 2007 (UTC)) Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles.

I've been doing a bit of research for this article, and it's definitely quite notable. I'd like to apologize for assuming that it was ever anything but; the title originally made it seem quite generic. As you can see, I've already done a fair bit of revamping on the article, including removing the CSD notice and replacing it with {{underconstruction}}, an in-progress template signifying that the article is undergoing a major improvement. I'd like to propose a deal: if you find more notable sources like the ones from the New York Times and leave them on my talk page, I will rewrite the article and get it up to an acceptable standard. Does that sound okay?

A tag has been placed on David J silver, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because David J silver is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting David J silver, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. CSDWarnBot 14:30, 27 August 2007 (UTC) Ill Intelleks Page Deletion Illintelleks 18:53, 27 August 2007 (UTC) Hey GlassCobra I still don't understand why my article was deleted from the Wiki. It said something about duplicated text on another website but this text appears everywhere as biographical information released from Blindog Records LLC in Vermont, USA. Why can't I recreate the article following the proper guidelines? considering several people feel this is something that should be documented in the wiki. I left out the link to the groups Myspace.com account which the core bot picked up as a red flag and asked me to remove, which I did promptly. Let me know how I can fix the article following the proper guidelines, rather than just deleting it and telling me I can't make it ever again. Thanks for your time -Andrew Ill Intelleks Management http://www.illintelleks.com management@illintelleks.com Your article cannot appear here for several reasons: As you know, the page was noted as being a closer-to-exact copy of a Myspace page. Wikipedia has very strict guidelines regarding plagiarism and copyrights; so even if the information was freely licensed, as you say, if it's an exact copy, it still qualifies for deletion. Your group does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. In order to be included, it needs to have verifiable coverage from reliable secondary sources, none of which were present when you created the article. Finally, as you are obviously the subject of the article as well as the author, there is a clear conflict of interest. Wikipedia is not an advertising service, and it is generally frowned upon to create an article about yourself, even if it is clearly notable. If it is non-notable, then it's actually a deletable offense. Considering that the "several people" that feel this article should be included are probably you and the rest of your group, it's not exactly a compelling reason. You can recreate the article if you can make it fit all the guidelines I mentioned, but as I said, there is a conflict of interest, so it will likely be held to a very high standard; if it does not specifically meet the guidelines, it will be promptly deleted again. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any further questions. GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 19:27, 27 August 2007 (UTC) Email a User Should work now if you're still interested.

A short while later you switched it back with an edit summary of "Are you serious? The MTV is obviously a lie, and there's a karate box for a non-notable form of martial arts. This is obvious CSD." Yes I was serious. A claim to have videos on MTV, even a false claim, is a claim to notability, which is all an article needs to avoid CSD A7. Admins should not evaluate the truthfullness of claims to notability when deciding whether or not to delete via A7. Hoaxes are not speedy candidates.

I don't really know much about coding, admittedly, so I'd appreciate any help you can provide about the technical aspects of building one. Drop me a line on my talk page, or on AIM, if you've got it. Thanks again! GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 02:26, 4 September 2007 (UTC) Hey, the first step is deciding what components you want to include. We can do virtually anything we like here, but most good portals include four content components of one kind or another. You may find it useful to look over some other portals (Portal:Narnia, for example, although there don't seem to be any featured portals on similar topics). If you'd like, I can put together a rudimentary skeleton and then we can futz with it. Carom 12:19, 4 September 2007 (UTC) Page deletion I recently became involved with volunteering at the Aishel House, and thought to publish a page on wikipedia about it. I did not mean to simply promote it, but as of the fact that i am not the best writer around i guess i did a bad job. Is there any way that i can retain the article on my computer for my own personal documentation? as the article is now deleted i dont know what to do. if that type of page does not belong on wikipedia, then i am more than happy if it is deleted. btw i am new to wikipedia and was wondering if there was a more user friendly tutorial available online. thankks peretzlaz —Preceding unsigned comment added by PeretzLaz (talk • contribs) The writing itself was decent enough; however, if you read the warning closely, your article was tagged for deletion because it read like a clear advertisement for the subject, which is not allowed. Please make yourself familiar with our notability guidelines and neutral point of view policy. As for tutorials, as a matter of fact, we have a fantastic tutorial located right here, so give that a look as well. To get your article text back, you'd have to talk to the name of the administator who deleted it, Gogo Dodo. Drop him a line on his talk page and he might be able to help you. Finally, as a last note, when you write on talk pages, sign your post with four tildes (~~~~) so that your name and the date will be shown. Good luck and happy editing! GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 03:32, 6 September 2007 (UTC) Perry Publishing and Broadcasting. I have added the PROD template to the article a second time, as the article's notability is not immediately apparent. It needs verifiable citations from secondary, reliable sources. If you have questions, please drop me a line on my talk page. GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 05:39, 6 September 2007 (UTC) The entry for Perry Publishing and Broadcasting is needed as this company owns several radio stations that are entries at Wikipedia. As for links, if you had checked at the bottom of the entry, you would have noted that I've had left links to both the company's site as well as their newspaper. The corporate site has more information about their history as well as their acquistions. I believe that you had jumped the gun on this issue. (Robynwatts 14:09, 6 September 2007 (UTC)) The company's website is not a suitable source. From Wikipedia's reliable sources guideline: "Articles should rely on reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." (boldface mine) I can't make you replace the PROD even though I still think it's deserved, but I will be placing a tag noting that the article does not have suitable references. GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 21:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC) Perry Publishing and Broadcasting (part 2) GlassCobra, I've included a link to a recent article from "Black News" about Perry Publishing and Broadcasting recent station acquisitions in Augusta, Georgia from Radio One and this has been posted with the Wiki article. [1] Sorry that there is no other "outside" information online at this time. There was a newspaper article about the purchase of several stations in Oklahoma, but has since been archive.

I'm usually the one reminding other users to do it; in fact, I'd already done it tonight. I chose to leave out that warning on purpose, as I figured a D&D fanboy would just remove the PROD as they likely think that whatever subject it was is obviously notable and we are too small-minded to realize it.

I took care of it for you this time. Also, when you're reverting, please make sure to note whether or not the edits being reversed are vandalism or not, so that you don't brush up against the three-revert rule, as vandalism fighting is exempt from it.

Something about the repetitive whack-a-mole nature is relaxing, so I usually do it wind-down in the evenings :) Best, --Bfigura (talk) 03:45, 12 September 2007 (UTC) Well, I'm back, got a pizza and a beer, let's do some vandal fighting. :) GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 05:36, 12 September 2007 (UTC) As much as I adore the new version of twinkle, I might have to leave you to it. Gotta get some rest. Enjoy :) --Bfigura (talk) 05:47, 12 September 2007 (UTC) Perimeter Records Hello Glass Cobra, You proposed to delete my article on Perimeter Records and the action was swiftly carried out by C.Fred. I will rewrite the article with substantial notability and would appreciate any further comments/suggestions. Thank you. Rocktheknobs 04:46, 12 September 2007 (UTC) Alright, you can give it a shot, but if you read the notability guidelines, there's a certain level of achievement and fame that needs to be met before your label can qualify for an article, and I just don't think it's there yet. Now, this is not to say that you'll never get an article, because you may very well qualify for one later. So, as I said, you can try rewriting the article, but if it's not up to a certain standard, it'll get deleted again. I'm sorry. Good luck! GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 05:00, 12 September 2007 (UTC) If I may ask your advice. How can I list Perimeter Records within the article Independent Record Labels? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_record_labels Rocktheknobs 05:20, 12 September 2007 (UTC) Unfortunately, the list is only for notable record labels. I'm sorry, I'm sure your record label is quite good, but it doesn't get a place here just yet. Keep working at it, though.

I saw right after I posted on the Help Desk that you had made edits to the Smackdown article...and then I felt silly, haha. Anyhow, I'll try to be around the Help Desk when I can! See you around :D GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 11:00, 12 September 2007 (UTC) Yep you did beat me, but I went ahead and added back in the info he was trying to add, closing the table, and did some other cleanup tasks, like moving "see also" before reflist, etc. Thanks for being there! Ariel♥Gold 10:56, 12 September 2007 (UTC) USA v. Barhoumi is not a {{copyvio}}. The bot made a mistake. See the talk page. Geo Swan 17:41, 12 September 2007 (UTC) Yeah, I already apologized on the talk page. My bad.

Hopefully we can get him a nice long block eventually. GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 19:43, 12 September 2007 (UTC) I think this is at least the third or fourth registered username they've had, in additional to a couple of IPs. I first noticed them when they demanded (on the Wikipedia Help page) assistance to stop the "vandals" who were removing their spamlinks and punishment of said "vandals"! --Orange Mike 19:46, 12 September 2007 (UTC) Yeah, that's how I saw it too. Do you think a Checkuser is in order? GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 19:48, 12 September 2007 (UTC) EV Nova UBX Hey, I added the picture from the Escape Velocity Nova article to the userbox to spice it up a bit, I hope that's alright. GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 07:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC) Check that, just discovered fair use images aren't okay in userboxes. This box definitely needs a kick though. Any suggestions? GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 07:55, 12 September 2007 (UTC) Indeed, situations like this can be tricky aesthetically. I added "EV" in the left section of the userbox, which hopefully looks better. Thanks for being vigilant about fair use! Scepia 23:17, 12 September 2007 (UTC) Genki Rockets question Hi GlassCobra, I added another source to Genki Rockets, titled Automatic Love. Is this the sort of source that is more appropriate for a Wikipedia article? Kat, Queen of Typos 02:12, 13 September 2007 (UTC) Well, the reference that you're using is someone's blog, which unfortunately does not qualify as a reliable source under WP:RS. I like the other work that you've done with the article, though. Keep it up! GlassCobra 02:32, 13 September 2007 (UTC) Seaford Linton III Excuse me glasscobra im not sure why seaford linton was removed by you, or im not sure why it was marked for speedy deletion can you please tell me why cant an article or biography of seaford linton be put up..do you guys do this to all new biographs? please let me know.. Silentspoken 05:51, 13 September 2007 (UTC) Please see Wikipedia's biography guidelines for why Mr. Linton does not qualify to have an article. Thanks.

Members: Garrett McArthur, Danny Mareco, TJ Hartmann, Jonathan Beveridge The Need is an alternative pop rock band signed with Universal Music Group through DelFi Music Group. The "queer-core band" that is referred is not correct. There were several corrections that were made, then revoked. this is not fair. We have a copyright on the name and are a current band going to be feature on the hit television show "Grey's Anatomy." Please unblock and let edit! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.129.69.164 (talk) 09:43, 13 September 2007 (UTC) The Need Hey, thanks for defending the article from that hijacker, but I should warn you that you violated the three-revert rule while doing so. I'm not going to issue you an official warning, though. Here's how to roll back a bunch of edits all at once: In the page history, click the "last" link next to the version that you want to revert back to, then hit edit. Highlight all the text and copy it. Then go back to the current version, hit edit again, and paste. Make sure you include in the edit summary whose version you're reverting back to. Happy editing! GlassCobra 12:05, 13 September 2007 (UTC) I always interpreted the 3 revert rule to mean that someone is reverting exactly the same, or substantially the same content back and forth. I had no idea that reverting in a clearly discernible series of baby steps that constituted one big revert would bee seen as a violation, technically or otherwise, as there was no back and forth interplay. But anyhow, I figured out how to install and use Twinkle, so I won't be fumbling around trying to figure out how to get back to the non-vandalized version of a page anymore! Thanks for the heads up.OfficeGirl 12:39, 13 September 2007 (UTC) You're right, that was silly of me. I'm sorry, I just saw a bunch of reverts and instinct took over. I'm glad you got Twinkle, though, I've heard it's good. :) GlassCobra 12:44, 13 September 2007 (UTC) YRBS I saw that someone tagged the YRBS article for speedy deletion, and I do not understand. The YRBS is the only repeated federal study of adolescent risk behavior, and there is only one other repeated study of adolescent risk behavior (conducted by U Michigan). EVERY piece of information that we have about trends over time in smoking, drinking, sex, etc., which is reported in the media uses either YRBS or Monitoring the Future (the Michigan study). The YRBS is featured in hundreds of media reports every year. If you have doubts on notability call up any national, state, or local department of public health and ask where they get their information from, and look in Congressional hearings and briefings for policy makers. They all use YRBS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jerosenb (talk • contribs) 14:27, 13 September 2007 (UTC) I was worried that the article would turn out to be original research, but I was a little hasty with the CSD tag. Sorry! GlassCobra 20:41, 13 September 2007 (UTC) Offline Your StatusBot says that you were offline since August 28, 2007. Does your StatusBot work? Anyways, thank you for responding to my question yesterday. --Mayfare 20:35, 13 September 2007 (UTC) Yeah, StatusBot has been down for a while now. Very disappointing. Anyway, no problem about the question, just trying to help out the newbies. :) If you have any other questions about using Wikipedia or anything, go ahead and drop me a line on my talk page!

Psst..whatcha doin to my user page? :P GlassCobra 21:09, 13 September 2007 (UTC) This ;) Give me 15 mins, and it'll be ready to go - in case you like it! ;) Love, Phaedriel - 21:11, 13 September 2007 (UTC) Ooh! Very nice, I like it a lot! Thank you! :D GlassCobra 21:15, 13 September 2007 (UTC) So happy you liked it! :) I'm so happy you liked it, my friend! :) I'm truly sorry about the delay, but I swear, I simply wasn't in my best wikimood lately... but hey, I hope it was worth the wait ;) Let me know if you need my help with anything else, will you? Love, Phaedriel - 22:33, 13 September 2007 (UTC) It's awesome! Thank you so much! Haha, look, here's the diff between the very first draft of my page and yours. Only a difference of 9.6 kB, no big deal. ;) GlassCobra 21:55, 13 September 2007 (UTC) Re : Talk page image Hey! I ganked your talk page image to adorn my own talk page; I hope that's okay. I gave you proper credit :). Let me know if you'd like me to take it down or anything. Thanks! GlassCobra 22:39, 14 September 2007 (UTC) I'm perfectly okay with it. :) - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 02:04, 15 September 2007 (UTC) Hopeful Network Hello - I am trying to get through the speedy deletion for the Hopeful Network but must admit I am new to posting on Wikipedia. I'm finding it a bit confusing and not user-friendly to figure out what I need to do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steverding (talk • contribs) 06:32, 15 September 2007 (UTC) Hey Steverding, sorry that your first experience here had to be getting your page deleted. I'd recommend that you start at the welcome page to get more acquainted with Wikipedia. The welcome page has links to our most important guidelines, as well as lots of places for you to get help from experienced members. If you've got any more questions, I'm always available on my talk page. Good luck and happy editing! GlassCobra 15:56, 15 September 2007 (UTC) The Artist Formerly Known as Scrotom Why are you the biggest bitch on the internet? The Artist Formerly Known as Scrotom fully deserves recognition as one of the 100 Worst Britons of all time- his fame has been suppressed for too long!! May you burn in hell, alone, while Vincent Arthur Johannesburg sits safely behind the pearly gates of Wikipedia Heaven where you, my dear friend, have banished him for eternity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theartistformerlyknownasscrotom (talk • contribs) STvsSW I'm confused as to why you're blanking this. As a redirect, it serves to point users to the correct article as opposed to a blank page; plus, if the article is deleted yet again, this page can be deleted by association when the deleter checks "What links here." As a blank page, it serves no purpose. I'm not going to revert your edit again, as I find that rather rude; instead, I ask that you replace the content that you removed. Thanks. GlassCobra 05:50, 16 September 2007 (UTC) Its a redirect to another page that is more or less trying to recreate a deleted page. The page got deleted, I've learned to deal with it. So should others. Try and recreate it at some point in the future, but not weeks after it was just deleted. Alyeska 06:03, 16 September 2007 (UTC) Yes, I'm aware; I was one of the ones that cast a delete vote for the page, as a matter of fact. Actually, I think that this particular incarnation of the page has been created in error and will probably be deleted again soon. My point is that rather than just have a blank page that serves no purpose whatever, keep it as a redirect so that it can be deleted when the article is deleted as well. GlassCobra 06:30, 16 September 2007 (UTC) Yeh, confused It looks like you're trying to AfD this article. Please read the AfD instructions (also provided by Mailer diablo above); if you can't figure it out, drop me a line on my talk page and I'll help you out. GlassCobra 15:37, 16 September 2007 (UTC) Looks like you've had similar issues with the AfDs for Nathan McDonald‎ and Yugo Deb Nat‎. Do you need a hand with this? GlassCobra 15:39, 16 September 2007 (UTC) Sorry, can't figure out how to properly link the pages for proposed deletions of Nathan MacDonald and Yugo Deb Net, nor Erik Eastaugh (with his old page around). I have made quite a mess, and don't know how to fix it, and am going to sleep soon. If you can work it out, I'd be much obliged. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jembot99 (talk • contribs) 15:39, 16 September 2007 (UTC) Sure thing. I'll take care of it. GlassCobra 15:40, 16 September 2007 (UTC) Okay, all done. The AfDs for Nathan MacDonald and Yugo Deb Nat are properly formatted, and I tagged the one for Nathan McDonald for deletion as a copy of the one at Nathan MacDonald. Happy editing! GlassCobra 15:51, 16 September 2007 (UTC) Oh! I almost forgot. When you post on talk pages, make sure to sign them by putting four tildes (~~~~) after your comment. Happy editing!
