Vandalism

Hi Guerillero, thank you for your great work protecting articles from vandalism, and please accept my belated welcome to the project!

By the way, when undoing vandalism, please be careful to check if the vandal made more than one consecutive edit that needs to be reverted. On Hardest language, when you undid this, you missed his previous edit which was also vandalism. In cases like this, it's best to check the article history and revert all the edits by going back to the version before the vandal started editing; or, if you're up for it, the rollback tool can help you revert multiple vandalism edits quickly. Once you have accumulated a little more experience with vandalism-undoing, I would be happy to enable the rollback tool for you if you want it. rʨanaɢ talk/contribs 01:30, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. --Guerillero (talk) 05:01, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

How many edits do I need for rollback?--Guerillero (talk) 06:16, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism

Thank you for your great work protecting articles from accurate information, and please don't try to edit unless you know what you are talking about! --91.55.211.58 (talk) 22:06, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

After being on the receiving end I realize that I came over much too strong here. My apologies. --91.55.230.143 (talk) 11:03, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

RE: looks good

Thanks for your interest. The removal of the section was motivated by its favoring bias and how nothing was sourced there, along with a little bit of original research being in the article (concerning the "aggrothrash" stuff). When you say "scrapped", do you mean taken from the section and re-added to the article. It would be for that if there could be sources found for such information, but I didn't have it in mind to take the information deleted and re-add it as it was.

Cupeyville School

Guerillero I need help, please!!!!! After editing the page you saw, Cupeyville School...a bot reverted EVERYTHING!!!! and all the great changes I made were lost. Including update of outdated information and better display (new sidebar box). Please help me return it to my changes. You can remove those links if you want which are all part of the school anyway. Thank you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cupeyvilleschool.wmaster (talk • contribs) 05:46, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Self Harm

I'll have a look though & see if I can spot any that have been missed --Natet/c 09:45, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi, please could you comment on this thread Talk:Self-harm#Map_of_self_inflicted_injuries regarding the map (I see you commented on the reassessment page). I am keen to get the issue of the map resolved but I think I am failing to use the correct langauge maybe or just can't seem to get my points across adequately. Thanks and thanks for your help during the current reassessment process. Jdrewitt (talk) 20:19, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
sure thing. I will take a look and move over my comment cheers--Guerillero (talk) 20:23, 14 January 2010 (UTC)


Still on the subject of self-harm... an IP user gave me a whole bunch of full text articles a while back, I think they can still be accessed here: http://www.mediafire.com/?nhds14j5qfy . See also this past thread on my talk page where they were given to me: User_talk:Jdrewitt/Archive_2#Further_revisions_to_the_Self_Injury_article Originally I couldn't download the archive but it seems to work fine now.

Just a brief note to let you know that I've replied to your question on my talk here. Cheers, 62.107.237.72 (talk) 19:34, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

While I am happy that you took the time to find a reference (a fast check by me turned up nothing, but having little knowledge about this matter makes it harder to search for refences). However, I have just read the reference and have been unable to find anything supporting the sentence in the wiki article (if anything, that article appears more one-sided on the gang-like aspect than the National Geographic program), which is at least as problematic as having no reference. Could you please point me to the place in the article that support a change away from some of the more controversial aspects began in the 90s (or at any specific point for that matter). Cheers, 62.107.237.72 (talk) 20:37, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism

Hi Guerillero. At this edit to Self harm you reverted an edit with the summary "Reverted 1 edit by Susan. muzondo (talk) identified as vandalism to last revision by Micron2. (TW)." Please be more careful with that, this was clearly not vandalism, so your language is rather insulting to the new editor and breaches several policies including WP:CIVIL, WP:AGF, WP:NPA & WP:BITE. I'm sure it was accidental, I'm just asking you to be more careful in future. Thanks. -- Anthony (talk) 15:43, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

This issue has already been brought up. Please see this talk page discussion. cheers --Guerillero | My Talk 02:09, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

PROD template to wrong the user

You gave a PROD template to the wrong user which was Tide rolls. The only time you use a PROD template is when the author created the page and also if it's been proposed for deletion. WAYNEOLAJUWON 02:30, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Greeting. I placed the template on Tide rolls's page because he edited the article and warned the maker of the article about OR. It was more of a heads up then a "hey your article is could be deleted". Also can you please read the policy in question before trying to correct me. This is from WP:PROD "The article's creator or other significant contributors should ideally be left a message at their talk page(s) informing them of the proposed article deletion". He did a fairly large revert so i felt that he may be a significant contributor to the way the article is now. --Guerillero | My Talk 03:04, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
Now I know why you gave Tide rolls, that PROD message anyway. I didn't know until now, because I originally thought it was only for the user who created that article. WAYNEOLAJUWON 03:08, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks very much

Though I have to be perfectly fair; they were formatted a long while ago, mechanically. It's only now that they're being uploaded to article space to be worked on. So all I'm doing is some fancy mousework. :-)

Happy editing, and keep up the good work! --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 03:29, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Henri Vasnier

I am somewhat puzzled why you have put this: {{Prod blp/dated}} on the Henri Vasnier page when it clearlt states he died in 1907. Perhaps you culd be kind enough to remove it. ThanksHarrypotter (talk) 06:42, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I need to read closer. I'm very sorry. --Guerillero | My Talk 06:45, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Request comments

Hi..I request your comments about the notability of Religious typification section on Jehovah's Witness talk page. Thank you--Logical Thinker:talk 05:43, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I will go and look. Why did you ask me of all editors to go comment? cheers --Guerillero | My Talk 05:53, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
I see serious violation of WP policy, so needed immediate comments. JW pages are always dominated by some major ex-member editors. So I asked others comments.Thank you--Logical Thinker:talk 05:57, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
I am feel bad about you statement that I am a meat puppet. I found you not to act as a meat puppet, but I got you from other religious discussion and added a request for comment. If you don't like to participate you could have neglected the request message--Logical Thinker:talk 06:14, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
You should have pointed that out at the begining. From my perspective, I thought that I was just a random member you contacted. cheers --Guerillero | My Talk 06:18, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
Forgive me for jumping to bad faith too quickly--Guerillero | My Talk 06:23, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

It's appreciated

The help on Warped Tour 2011 really is appreciated. I've had to deal with rumors and/or nonsense adds for about 3 years now haha. The announcements begin on the 8th of December. I was glad someone posted a source with that last round of rumors because I was trying to figure out where that info was coming from. Good to see that it was just hearsay and that I hadn't missed some big announcement. DX927 (talk) 04:41, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Your welcome I saw your message about watching it on someone's talk page. I'm not a fan of bad sources; so when I saw it was coming from a tumblr, I knew nothing of value could have been found there. People will take anything at face value these days. If you need another set of eyes to watch a punk related page i'm up for it. cheers --Guerillero | My Talk 04:46, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

The Emo article

Thank you! No way would find it humiliating, I assume that someone who did not attend a language course like me, I take my shallow knowledge of English is far beyond what it should (you can see that I'm a foreigner, right? Maybe even give to identify my native language as romance, or iberian, etc. everything I write "seems" not English, haha). I'll see what I can do after you answer and think more clearly later (are 2:10 AM where I live and I'm sleepy). Cheers! :) Lguipontes (talk) 04:18, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

BLPPROD of Shuchi Kubouchi

Hi Guerillero,

I've removed the BLPPROD tag you placed on Shuchi Kubouchi because only articles created after March 18, 2010 are eligible for deletion by BLPPROD, but that article was created in 2006. Please remember to check the date the article was created before adding a BLPPROD tag. Calathan (talk) 07:13, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Green Day GA

Hello! I'd be perfectly happy to assist you in your review of Green Day. For starters, I think that the most useful thing here would be the previous assessment done in January; it is quite thorough, and you can see a comparison between the January and current versions of the article here. Normally, a review starts with a quick skim read, checking for any major problems - the key ones to look out for are:

  1. The article completely lacks reliable sources – see Wikipedia:Verifiability.
  2. The topic is treated in an obviously non-neutral way – see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.
  3. There are cleanup banners that are obviously still valid, including {{cleanup}}, {{wikify}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{fact}}, {{citation needed}}, {{clarifyme}}, or similar tags.
  4. The article is or has been the subject of ongoing or recent, unresolved edit wars.
  5. The article specifically concerns a rapidly unfolding current event with a definite endpoint.

Point 4 requires checking the article history, whilst the rest can be done by just reading the article. I would suggest you start by checking the article against these points; once you feel the article meets these criteria, we can begin the main part of the review. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them here, on my talk page, or on the article review page - weebiloobil (talk) 11:52, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Seeing as you've noticed some problems with some references in the article already, you might want to have a look at this tool - it checks all the citations/references, and reports on whether they are working or not, saving a lot of work. I had a quick look, and there seems to be a large number of dead or redirected links in the article at the moment - weebiloobil (talk) 09:23, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
Would a fansite such as greendayauthority.com qualify as a RS? --Guerillero | My Talk 20:30, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
It depends how it's used. If the article says "...with the fansite greendayauthority.com reporting that...", then the source is fine; if the article quotes something as fact that's been uploaded by a fan on to the site, then probably not. As the site is a collection of news stories, there may be better sources for some of the information anyway. Because the site is run by a small number of fans with specific jobs, it seems well-organised, and probably more reliable than other Green Day fansites. Anything remotely contentious shouldn't be sourced with only this site, and any blog-like elements to the site (e.g. 'Are they going to release a new album next year?' or 'so-and-so was their best album yet') can't be used, but otherwise it can be used with caution. Reference 35 is, at the moment, broken- weebiloobil (talk) 22:16, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
Thank you. I will Read through looking to see what is referenced by that source. Sorry it seems that I am going in a wacky order. I am trying to do the parts of the assessment that I know best the first. (Prose is far from the thing I am best at.) cheers--Guerillero | My Talk 23:08, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
How do you go about checking prose? --Guerillero | My Talk 17:28, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Whoops, sorry for ignoring you for a while, but I was suddenly called to interview at Oxford and I lost track of things a bit. I find the best thing to do when checking prose is to copy the text of the article into something like Microsoft Word, and see if there are any grammar/spelling points it doesn't like. I also read through the article very slowly, and anything that doesn't make sense initially, or I think looks wrong, I look up in a dictionary. When in doubt, you can always ask another editor to read over a bit and see what they think. I see that you have put the article on hold until after Christmas - this is, I think the best option - but when you put an article on hold you need to change the status of the article on the GA nominations template on the article talk page to 'onhold', as in {{GA nominee|...|status=onhold}}, which I have already done for you. It is now a waiting game to see how the article is improved - weebiloobil (talk) 11:03, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

No big deal. Thank you for the advice and putting it officialy on hold. I will put it through MS word and see what comes up. cheers --Guerillero | My Talk 15:44, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
