Re your comment on Timeshift's page

Clarification for later readers - the content we're discussing was not authored by anybody involved in this discussion. Orderinchaos 12:34, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(Posted it there, but as it's to you as well...) The section Timeshift removed from the federal election talk page was a partisan rant which I'm not even absolutely sure the News Ltd moderators would have published in a "Have Your Say" section on their website, and utterly violated WP:BLP policies (which I might note is all but a mandate from Jimbo himself to shoot on sight). In case there is any doubt, I've placed the standard talk header on it. Orderinchaos 09:26, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Essentially the situation is we're a top 10 site now and as such have some social and public responsibilities. If we allow people to post defamatory statements and extremist political propaganda on talk pages or in article space, we are not meeting those responsibilities. WP:NOT and WP:BLP are probably the best documents to read. (There must, however, be a careful protection of free speech and questions about alternate points of view on controversial subjects - there are some discussions which, although unsavoury, do not cross any lines and are necessary in order to develop articles and resolve disputes over content and achieve consensus).

national sport

Hey Pio's at it again. And I don't want this to be an edit war. Anyways about all of his edits are rather disruptive plus I don't want to break 3rr so, can you do me a favor by reverting his edit, which could be called vandalism actually.--THUG CHILD z 20:42, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring at National sport

You are currently involved in an edit war at National sport. Please remember that such behaviour does not benefit Wikipedia in any way, and in fact you may be blocked for it (especially, but not always, if you have made four or more reverts in 24 hours).

Therefore, please remember: if you are having a dispute with somebody over an article, you must follow the dispute resolution process - that is, discuss your differences with the other parties. Sometimes, that is all it takes: leave a message on their talk page, and come to an agreement civilly and peacefully. Once again, bear in mind that revert warring is not acceptable and you may be blocked for it: you should consider this a final warning on the matter. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,
AGK (talk) 13:37, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Guy0307, we can stop edit warring in this article but I restore my version because not only Australia has 3 most popular sports. Lay off my user page!!!!--PIO (talk) 15:24, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did to User:PIO, you will be blocked from editing. The Evil Spartan (talk) 08:43, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Confused

You are confused because in those links, inserted in my talk, are citated various sports and not only soccer. I think so: it's impossible assert a sport certainly most popular because it's impossible verify stats. Popularity of a game has 4 data:

amateur players
registered players in national federations
attendance in venues
audience by television

but it's scientifically impossible settle how many are amateur players and audience by television!!!! If we consider sport as pastime we can consider card games and how many are amateur poker players? How many are amateur fishers? How many are amateur cue sports players? How many are participants of footing in parks? Every kind of answer is impossible!!!!--PIO (talk) 16:54, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Block warning

Hi. Your recent contributions have been nothing but chat as of late. Please understand that Wikipedia is not a social networking site. If you are here to contribute to the writing of this encyclopedia, please do so; otherwise, please do not edit at all, or you will be blocked. The Evil Spartan (talk) 17:10, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

February 2008

Hi, the recent edit you made to National sport has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. —αἰτίας •discussion• 00:57, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

soccer

hey you have been adding a lot of countries to the soccer list and changing the descriptions saying soccer is the most popular in those countries. And there's nothing wrong with that and I am not disputing soccer being the most popular sport in the world. However, before you change info's and the list can you please back them up with sources because being the most popular sport in the world doesn't necessarily mean it's the most popular sport in most of the countries and it doesn't have to be. So before you change it please back them up with sources.--THUG CHILD z 05:55, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine but see wikipedia articles aren't always reliable. So if those articles have sources please add them to the national sport article otherwise try to find reliable sources to back them up. Thanks.--THUG CHILD z 06:01, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mediation Closed

After trying at this for over a month, I am of the opinion that we have exhausted all possible options. Every conceivable wording has been put forward, and still there is dissent over which version should be used on the various pages. Therefore, I am declaring this mediation at an impasse and have closed it. Parties should continue to discuss it and may seek out other forms of dispute resolution. I would advise all parties involved to remain civil and to follow proper policies in handling the matter further. Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 05:41, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

March 2008

Hi, I got your message. The warning was in response to this edit, which I do consider to be vandalism, because it replaced a user page with nonsense. I also noticed that you have received warnings for vandalism in the past; maybe you should review WP:VAN. How about a compromise: you agree not to edit anyone's user page in this fashion any more, and I'll remove the message. Leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions or want to discuss anything. Peace, delldot talk 09:59, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry for the duplicate warning, I should have checked better to make sure I wasn't doing that. Thanks for agreeing not to do it again, duly removed. Sorry about that. Happy editing. Peace, delldot talk 06:35, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:PIO/Jxy

I have blanked and protected User:Jxy's talk page to prevent further edit warring. Please remember Wikipedia:Deny recognition and that he couldn't edit beyond that talk page, and therefore it really didn't matter what he put on it. Thanks. MBisanz ^talk 06:55, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've provided a few sources on the talk page of the template, but not all of them are acceptable. Blackjays1 (talk) 03:07, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

HP template

My reasoning is that Hagrid is way much more important than Ginny because he has direct involvement in the plot of most of the books, which cannot be said about Ginny. Ginny is first trully important in Half-blood Prince. Even Draco is more prominent than Ginny, having involvement in Voldemort and Dumbledore's deaths. Ginny is only important because she is Harry's love interest, and because of her participation in some battles. About Hagrid and Sirius, I am not sure who is more important, the two characters are pivotal in the series, with Sirius having a book for himself (PoA), but Hagrid appears more in the series, he is one of the most developed characters and he appeared in all seven books playing an important role. --Lord Opeth (talk) 05:44, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure that Ginny is mentioned more than Draco and Hagrid in the final two books? Remember all the plot situation about Draco's task (killing Dumbledore), which caught Harry's attention for so long in the sixth book, maybe as much as Ginny. Hagrid also took considerable part at the beginning and the end of the final book. Even Draco had more appearances than Ginny in the final book: at the beginning, in Harry's visions, in Malfoy Manor, and in the Battle of Hogwarts, with the revelation that he was also a master of the Elder Wand. And we cannot forget the first books, in which Ginny had barely a little involvement in the Chamber of Secrets (but also Hagrid and Draco had), and no more until the battle at the department of mysteries. Both Hagrid and Malfoy had more plot involvement and appearances than Ginny during the series. --Lord Opeth (talk) 17:45, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that kissing Harry in the Burrow was really an important involvement. And you are only talking about one book, in the series as a whole Hagrid has both more importance and appearances than Ginny. --Lord Opeth (talk) 23:28, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PIO

Hi Guy, thanks for the message. Yep, PIO and LEO are definitely the same person, as were User:Jxy and User:Agazio, plus anyone who signs with just a name from a 151.67 or 151.70 IP, such as this [1] where he calls himself 'Nemo'. The two active socks he's using at present are User:Ciolone and of course, as you said, User:Luigi 28. Best, AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 13:19, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re:non free use question

Hi Guy, how's things? To answer your question, I'd have a look at Wikipedia:Software_screenshots#Copyright_issues, and at the fair use rationales given at screenshot images such as [Image:Google1998.png] and [Image:Windows Vista Desktop.png].
I see you've already posted your question at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions so you should get an answer there if there are any problems. Best, AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 06:28, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your request for rollback

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback.

Rubbish!! The first line says EXACTLY why he's notable. Maybe it is a csd, but NOT for that reason. Pdfpdf (talk) 11:33, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Absolute rubbish!!! Haven't you got anything better to do than harass people with frivolous csd warnings? Pdfpdf (talk) 11:37, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am NOT personally attacking you. Your csd is frivolous. Under such circumstances I am within my rights to delete it. As I said, it may be a csd, but in NO way is it a csd a7. Go read your MoS and stop harassing me. Pdfpdf (talk) 11:44, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[Replies. It seems you can generate them faster than I can notice them! ;-) Pdfpdf (talk) 15:19, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(P.S. I thought you'd gone to bed - like I should have 2 hours ago.)

Your request.

Please, I beg you, read WP:RFA, WP:BAND and WP:CSD.

By the way, I have read all of these before, several times, but as you have requested that I read them again ...

I don't understand why you want me to read WP:RFA. I don't understand how it's relevant. Are there particular sections you want me to read? If so, please be specific.

Similarly, what is it in WP:Band you want me to focus on?
As far as I can see, this article satisfies these quite nicely, and so far it's an incomplete stub with a "work in progress" label on it. It will be even more rock solid and watertight when I have time to flesh it out.

As for CSD, I've lost count of the number of times I've told you that CSD A7 is not applicable.

So what do you want me to do now? Pdfpdf (talk) 13:01, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Look, I'm sorry to have to say this, but I'm just not interested in listening to you continually repeat your pov and pay no attention to what I'm saying. I'm also not interested in you harassing me. And I'm not interested in having my talk page vandalised by you.

Despite what you may think, it is MY talk page, and I can do with it what I want, and the MoS says that, and it's not up to me to prove it - it's up to you to disprove it. I KNOW it says that somewhere. If you can't locate it, that's not my problem. And you have already wasted a large amount of my time, so I'm not going to waste any more of my time by looking for it. Until you come up with some evidence to DISprove it, then as far as I'm concerned, that's the end of this sub-topic.

As for WP:Band and CSD A7, we obviously have different opinions.

I've been through the A7 thing before, I know how it works, I've had admins come along and remove the A7 notice and say to me that I'm not to worry, the A7 is cleary unfounded. That's what I have said to you. So, unless you can actually demonstrate that my first line does NOT show notability, then, as far as I'm concerned, that's the end of this sub-topic.

As for WP:Band, as I said before, I don't understand what your point is.

Now, I really do have much more interesting and much more enjoyable things to do than engage in pointless arguments with you.

If you are prepared to discuss the matter, I'm happy to engage in discussion. But I have NO interest in having you attempt to ram your pov down my throat.

OK? Pdfpdf (talk) 13:34, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Talk about "Big Brother is watching"!!!!! Y'know, you are devoting more effort to the destruction of this article than I am to its creation! Why don't you devote just 10% of that effort to improving the article, and the other 90% to having a nice glass of wine and watching the sun set? Pdfpdf (talk) 11:13, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Calm down mate!

I was only doin' my routine check of articles, when I found you still had the under construction template when you haven't edited the article for nearly a week. Just a small suggestion: The tables are wayy too long compared to the rest of the article. Guy0307 (talk) 12:20, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh dear! Terribly sorry! As it happens, I'm feeling extremely calm and mellow at the moment. Were I to further calm down, I would become catatonic. I'm sorry you interpreted my response otherwise.

"Just a small suggestion: The tables are wayy too long compared to the rest of the article." - Well, thank you, but I'm not altogether sure how such comments are useful.

As I've said/implied more than once before, if you can improve the situation, then why don't you get off your posterior and do something about it OTHER than complain? If the ONLY contribution you can make is to complain, then I'm afraid I don't find your contribution either useful, or more-importantly-to-the-article, helpful. Y'know, you are just as capable of writing this article as I am - I assure you that you can't possibly know any less about this guy than I do!

And to repeat what I said above, to which you have not responded: "Why don't you devote just 10% of that effort to improving the article, and the other 90% to having a nice glass of wine and watching the sun set?"

Y'know, this ain't "MY" article - the guy is obviously notable - any/every-body is allowed to contribute.

Hi Guy, I am a snail expert, and these two very new articles only came to my attention because they both mention the word "snail". I don't know if you want to fix this, but the two articles need a careful merging, because they are both on the same subject.

Alerts

Alerts at WP project pages (viz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Indonesia - at the bottom of the page) have been put in because too many times Xfd's go through without any project participants ever seeing what happened or why to items from in their projects - CFD for a very long time used to have 2 or 3 votes from their appartichikcs agreeing among themselves that cats need to to go - and no one ever knew the better about it.

I really think a bit of WP:Etiquette in taking a minute or two in putting in the WP Indonesia deletions page - even if in your mind it is a clear snowjob - would at least give a sense that you understand that there might be a project that might have some participants who might to wish to have a word - even if it is to be deleted - not all the google tells us all xfd commentors necessarily know anything about the subjects they are throwing the N's and etc into the ring. cheers Satu Suro 13:05, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry you have your way of looking at things, and I have mine - I could go into any project that is not english language based and do the same with heaps of small articles - if it is taken to afd - it goes to the project as well imho - as for speedy - well so what? I still think even snowjobs dont have a 'right' to walk over general procedures of acknowleding that there might be something other than google huggers in the world .

Nothing personal either - just in case my comments might seem aimed at you - in all respect the deletionists gang seen so often at afd do do a good job in most cases - and I am not dismissing the process out of hand - but after a few years of dealing with new stubs and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AlexNewArtBot/IndonesiaSearchResult some of the outright crap that turns up there - the well deserved speedies are always well worth sending on their way - without debate - however in the case of the acehnese editor and article I think it is unfortunate that you focused on that - as I 'smell' a good source for articles from the editor if he stays and when he gets the hang of the process - and it is a real pity that such an item is chosen - I still reckon the afd mob (all the regularls) should be required do time on recent changes - there you can get your teeth into stuff properly :) Satu Suro 02:23, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough - sorry about the rambling in that case - as you can see I have a very jaded view of Afd process when it comes to Indonesian articles - maybe we will meet again - thanks for your patient response - and hopefully not over Indonesian new articles - Satu Suro 02:34, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rick Neigher

Thank you! Thank you for your polite and helpful response.
I am getting fed up with all the self-opinionated self-important people on WP who demand I fulfil their expectations. It is refreshingly pleasant to receive communication from someone who actually wants to improve WP rather than enhance their own self-image.

Yes, I agree with you.
However, despite his worthyness/worthiness (sp?), I'm afraid Mr Neigher is not at the top of my priority list.
If you feel you are able to make a useful improvement without expending excessive amounts of your own time and effort, I would be fully supportive, and highly appreciative.

Once again, thank you for your comment, but more importantly to me, thank you for the spirit in which it was made. Best wishes. --Pdfpdf (talk) 13:13, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Regarding this article, you reverted an edit with the comment 'better this way'. However, you didn't exactly specify what.

Hi there

I noticed your tags on this article. It is your right to tag, of course, but I would like to ask you to elaborate on your rationales. I don't see you in the chemistry articles, so I am wondering if you understand the article. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 07:36, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regards to the tag

Hello Guy0307!! I hope you are feeling fine. With regards to tag you placed on my article, Remaking Singapore Committee, I have provided a link in the external links section. This website is the resource of my information. Is this reference enough or do you need more references to this article? I hope you would make this clear to me. Thanks! --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 07:32, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good Shepherd Lutheran School

Hi Guy0307. Regarding the removal of the external link to the official Good Shepherd Lutheran School Alumni group on facebook, there are 3925 articles which contain "facebook.com." Most of them are individuals linking to their facebook pages, but there are also countless businesses, non-profit organizations, films, political parties and campaigns, athletic teams, Walk Disney World, MSNBC, and yes school groups that link to facebook. Some of the educational institutions that link to facebook are listed below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_College_of_the_Humanities http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_Collegium http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduate_and_Professional_Student_Assembly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Tanta http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Manchester_Institute_of_Science_and_Technology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgewood_Regional_High_School http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deeside_College http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_University_of_New_York_at_Oswego

WP:ELNO discourages links to facebook, EXCEPT when it is an official page. The GSLS Alumni page on facebook is an official page by virtue of it's minutes being published there. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ELNO#Links_normally_to_be_avoided)

Therefore, I know you'll agree that the link in question was within policy. Lionelt (talk) 08:46, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Guy0307. Please clarify. Are you saying (1) the Good Shepherd Alumni is not an official organization, or (2) are you saying that the facebook page is not the official page of the almuni organization? Lionelt (talk) 20:45, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Guy0307. Thanks for clarifying that you don't think that the Alumni group is an official organization. For your review, I am copying language from the Facebook page in question: "Good Shepherd Lutheran School Alumni is an unincorporated non-profit association (CCC Sect. 18000). Donations are not tax deductible at this time. Check back for status of exemption under IRS Sect. 501(c)7." (At http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=34433734952) This group is claiming that it is organized under California law (CCC = Corporations Code). It also appears that IRS tax exemption is forthcoming. I hope this satisfies you that this alumni group is an official, legal entity. Unless you have any other objections, I will restore the link.

Please don't remove content

Per WP:RPA (quote: removal should typically be limited to clear-cut cases where it is obvious the text is a true personal attack), please do not remove content from your talk page. Thanks! Guy0307 (talk) 11:29, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removing content from own user talk

Of course, you may do that. However, it is not generally welcome, and I find that insulting. Guy0307 (talk) 13:21, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

it's not against any policy to do so, and please assume good faith. riffic (talk) 14:22, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

in fact, consensus leans towards the opinion that it would be wrong to restore deleted comments, see WP:HUSH and WP:DRC for more info. riffic (talk) 14:38, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fairchild Channel F

I would like to request that my Fairchild Channel F articles are not deleted, and instead recive a clean up, as they are part of a large project to expand wikipeida's capaity of games, and I personaly think that the Fairchild Channel F is a good place to start. mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool (talk) 18:09, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will find non triva sources for new Fairchild Channel F articles. mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool (talk) 15:32, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't apply here

The two cases are serperate. With User:Gamsbart, he can remove the comments from his talk page, even though they are not warnings (I was just trying to tell him to not add sigs to articles). With the IP, warnings are used to determine when to block someone, and so they should not be removed. Even if that's not good enough, his reason to remove them is not adeaqute. Guy0307 (talk) 04:11, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

oh actually I had no opinion about the IP editor, I was only referring to Gamsbart's talk page. I really have no further interest in this, just wanted to inform you of pre-established consensus, in case you weren't aware. riffic (talk) 04:15, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a courtesy notice that I have undeleted this page as it does not meet CSD G8 criteria under which it was nominated. I have also tagged this page appropriately (this is intended as a set index, not as a geodis). If you disagree, please feel free to discuss on the talk page or take this straight to the DRV.
