Delete Template:PD-law?

I'm thinking of TfDing {{tl:Template:PD-law}}, which you created. It's an orphan. Not sure we need this when we have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags/Public_domain#Dedications. OTOH, none of those templates are clearly for use by other than the author putting the image in the public domain. For example, PD-author says "The copyright holder grants..." (not 'has granted', so there's arguably an implicit 'hereby'.--Elvey (talk) 20:35, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I made the potato page but sure you can add to it to help me. this is my first page

No idea what you are on about

Luhanskteplovoz - you reverted my edits to my previous edits when I was signed in (I am also User:shortfatlad) - I was adding the correct russian (ukrainian) language abbreviations, as found in the rest of the article. It is not vandalism. Please be more careful before you ascribe the label of vandalism to an act. Thank you.83.100.251.196 (talk) 23:48, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, you may remove the warnings, sorry about that.--Ipatrol (talk) 23:53, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problems, but be careful with that trigger! we're not all vandals honest :)

83.100.251.196 (talk) 23:58, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciation

I don't appreciate how you instantly revert my edits to Interest Rates, I am only trying to make the article cleaner and more direct. Instead of just reverting articles blindly maybe you should actually make your own contributions. 24.62.114.248 (talk) 23:52, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can I have some links to the specific revisions?--Ipatrol (talk) 23:55, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Beacon Fell Country Park

I don't think that User talk:81.154.52.65's edit here was vandalism, as you accuseon their talk page. S/he removed a duplicated heading and reflist, obviously added by mistake. You then removed their entire previous edit which had added substantial content. Please apologise to them for accusing them of vandalism, and be more careful in future. Thanks. PamD (talk) 00:19, 5 November 2009 (UTC) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Ipatrol&action=edit&section=153[reply]

This user, Ipatrol, likes to throw around the word vandalism with no evidence backing it. I think someone needs to be patrolling him. 24.62.114.248 (talk) 00:29, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Look, there's a saying, "mistakes will be made." Going at 3 pages per second, some things slip or look odd. It's just a simple accident, no worries.--Ipatrol (talk) 00:52, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So perhaps you should slow down: falsely accusing people of vandalism is disruptive to Wikipedia. And please apologise to that user, as I asked. PamD (talk) 07:53, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I sm deeply sorry for the issue, I'll ensure it won't happen again.--Ipatrol (talk) 14:23, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So please have the courtesy to go to their user talk page and either strike out your hasty comment or apologise for it (or both). PamD (talk) 23:44, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

24.62.114.248 is apparently still a vandal, but I removed the other warning.--Ipatrol (talk) 00:57, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well there is the problem with IP's that they can change to other people. That vandalism was not from me. I'm not sure if your were awear of that. I just moved into the city.I only edits subject relevent to me and my MBA at harvard But still your hasty acquisitions dont help wikipedia. actually bringing them a step back. why dont you once consider actually bringing someone thing valuable to wikipedia and make your own edits. instead of reverting everyone elses. it's a lot of fun. but you can still apologize. 24.62.114.248 (talk) 07:08, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hood Shooting

I believe that you reverted my edit on the Fort Hood Shooting in error. The number of perps was listed as 3, but the sources cited on the page all say 2. For that reason I removed the citation for the number 3 and requested a citation with that number. I also put this explanation in my edit summary.67.232.231.18 (talk) 22:10, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:srlink

Howdy - I notice you changed this template (admittedly 8 months ago, so apologies if you can't recall) to create internal links when used on the primary wikipedia site, otherwise external links. I've noticed a few problems with (seeingly technically incompetent) mirrors since then, and wanted to ask if you'd mind my changing it back. I know this makes srlink-links not show up on 'what links here' - were there any other reasons for the change ? - TB (talk) 17:43, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The issues that you describe can probably be fixed by adding ParserFunctions to the MediaWiki program. Most mirrors I've seen already have it, those that don't need to get their heads out of their butts and install it at many templates need it to display properly.--Ipatrol (talk) 20:36, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why an Orphan?

Dear lpatrol,

You recently marked my article about the California Fire Safe Council as an orphan. I don't understand. It is referenced by my companion article on Fire Safe Councils. Is there a minimum number of references that are required before an article is no longer considered an orphan? If so, what is it so I can try to create enough references that my article is no longer considered an orphan.

Thank you,

Page blanked by author

Hi. Though page blanking is usually vandalism and needs to be reverted, it is worth looking first at the page history, because quite often the author has blanked his own page, as with The burke society just now. In those cases the best thing is to tag it {{db-author}}. It can be confusing for an author who realises his page is inappropriate and blanks it, if his page is at once restored and he is accused of vandalism for the blanking and told it was unconstructive. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:22, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tithonian page edit and new section on discussion your page.

First of all the edit to the Tithonian page can not be considered vandalism as it is a legitimate addition to the paleontology section. As such, I do not see your justification for reverting it. Please explain this.

Secondly, when I tried to mention this to you the first time on this page, you replied that this too was vandalism -despite the fact that this was a talk page and not a dictionary entry that could be vandalized in the first place. I would like to know your reason for referring to an attempt at discussing this as "vandalism." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.102.148.158 (talk) 02:22, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why my edit to the Covino & Rich page would be commented on when I was simply reverting the page back to what it previously said.

Reversion of Hydrazoic acid article

Was the formula inaccurate that you deleted it? I added it because it said that hydrazoic acid is explosive but it didn't give a formula. Some might be interested in the products. Thanks.--98.221.179.18 (talk) 18:55, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't have any external sources, but I used the standard electrode potential chart that they have here on wikipedia to figure out the reaction. Hydrazoic acid has a very strong tendency to become oxidized to nitrogen gas, which is what the oxygen does. So one of the products is nitrogen gas and an oxide from the reduction of oxygen. The hydrogen ions and the oxide ions bond to form water. Thats how I figured out the reaction. --98.221.179.18 (talk) 21:33, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Locking pages

Hey there, the page I wrote and regularly update is constantly being hit with vandalism. It is getting rather tedious and time consuming to undo all the edits.

The comments being posted are quite slanderous and are libelous.

Is it possible to have a page locked for a period of time from anonymous users or all users until the vandals get bored and quit trying? JoshinWinnipeg (talk) 00:56, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response... is this implying that I may be blocked as I am reverting their changes even though they are clearly slanderous and inappropriate?

Rachel Nichols

You've got a lot of nerve touching my edit on Rachel Nichols. I brought up the question of whether anyone had a problem with that being put in several months ago and got no response, and I pointed out how there is precedent for such a thing. No one voiced any issues, so I put it in, and then you think you're going to come in and revert it, and not even give a reason. Get off your high horse, and more importantly, get a life. If you have a valid reason why you think that observation shouldn't be in the entry, even when it had precedent in other entries, then let's hear it. Otherwise, get back in your hole and leave my edits alone. 151.203.124.135 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 06:32, 20 February 2010 (UTC).[reply]

As I stated, there is precedent for having this sort of information of interest in an entry; specifically, the entry for Jeffrey Dean Morgan includes how he is very often mistaken for Robert Downey, Jr. and/or Javier Bardem. If the majority opinion is that Rachel Nichols does NOT bear a very striking resemblance to Alexandra Wentworth, then I'll concede that it's my imagination and leave it at that. 151.203.124.135 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:35, 21 February 2010 (UTC).[reply]

As I've said, that sort of information is given in another entry for another actor. If that sort of information doesn't belong, then it should be removed from the Jeffrey Dean Morgan entry, as well. It should be in both or none. I confess I don't really care which of the two, so long as there's consistency. 151.203.124.135 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:24, 27 February 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Counter-Vandalism Unit

I was reading the talk page of The Counter-Vandalism Unit recently, and I agree that the CVU needs a change, or perhaps a total overhaul. I realize that the topic is a bit old, but I personally believe the collapse of the CVU was due to a lack of order. Therefore, I'd like to propose a few objectives, on which I would love your opinion. Please post your replies here, and leave a talk back on my page. Thank You!

1. Ranking System:Vandalism fighting has become a sort of freelance job, due to the lack of involvement in the CVU. I believe if we added something like a ranking system, similar to that of the military's, we may be able to restore order and interest to the CVU

2. Stars and Stripes I also feel that a sort of incentive may help with interest. Perhaps designing special barnstars or service ribbons?

3. Resurrection of the Task Force and Think-Tank The CVU used to have several core programs that helped add strength to Vandal fighting and Wikpedia itself. I think that resurrection of these programs with integration of the Ranking and Awards systems mentioned above will revive the long-lost collection of editors known as the CVU. Any other suggestions you may have are greatly appreciated. Thank You, Tarheel95 (talk) 16:31, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ideas

First, the task force was centered around "paging" one user at a time, depending on if that user was online. I think that the task force would be more effective if it paged all online members as a whole, in a sort of Twitter-like fashion. Another aspect that may help is implementing a program like Qui onto each Task Force Member's userpage, allowing them to edit their availability status quickly. Secondly, I never saw an organized flow of things at the think tank. Users would simply come up with ideas and the community would voice their opinions. I believe the implementation of an organized system of dealing with a problem or task would help not only with organization, but with interest as well. The main goal now is making the CVU more user-friendly. Any ideas you may have are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tarheel95 (talk) 23:56, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Autumn

I notice that you reverted edits and left a message "revert vandalism (per Ottava's good-faith suggestion on IRC)" I couldn't find the user Ottava. I'm not sure what IRC is. What I can assure you is that the edits which you reverted were certainly not vandalism.

For a FA, the article was very poor indeed. It read like a student's essay and was written with little understanding and several misinterpretations. The introduction stated that the poem represents the tastes, sights and sounds of Autumn. It doesn't. There is no mention whatsoever of taste. This sentence was written into the original stub, and was, with several other inadequate or poorly expressed sentences, maintained through every more recent edit.

If you had looked at the edit summaries which I left when making the changes, it would have been immediately clear that none of my edits, or the corrections by other editors that were interspersed, were vandalistic. Amandajm (talk) 12:24, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ottava rima was banned this year in a complicated incident with several users. As she could not edit she pointed out a revision that included several vandalistic artifacts, including replacing various links with cunnilingus.--Ipatrol (talk) 01:54, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I hadn't noticed any edit like that! I don't think they are there now. Amandajm (talk) 07:37, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ipatrol, are you actually serious? Or are you pulling my leg?

There was very little vandalism to that article and the small amount that occurred was immediately reverted to the state that immediately preceded the vandalism (in other words, maintaining all worthwhile edits). The word "cunnilingus" was not mentioned anywhere. (I have checked all the stages of the history). At the point at which you made your reversion, none was needed. Your sweeping reversion lost a lot of very carefully considered edits by me, and some valuable corrections by other editors. Unless I'm mistaken, you made this reversion on the say-so of a banned editor, and didn't bother to actually compare the two states of the article. I cannot imagine why, seeing all those edits with carefull edit summaries, you didn't actually look to find the rude words and leave the bona fide edits intact.

Amandajm (talk) 08:58, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My edit in question restored large chunks of well-cited information. Your constant edit warring has been well-noted and does not help your case here. I made a single revision and you have reverted no less than five different editors. If you are unable to think and act neutrally on this article, i request that you recuse yourself from the issue and find work elsewhere.--Ipatrol (talk) 19:51, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Richardson family murders

I have suppressed your recent edit to Richardson family murders as a privacy violation prohibited by Canadian law.

Texas sharpshooter

Please look at the article, it references Bible Code and Quran code. 193.52.24.28 (talk) 01:11, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It does not. Please look at this: Wikipedia:See also

"The links in the "See also" section do not have to be directly related to the topic of the article, because one purpose of the "See also" links is to enable readers to explore topics that are only peripherally relevant." 193.52.24.28 (talk) 01:18, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Added: I think it is a bit unfair the link to the fallacy is given in Bible Code, yet not in Quran Code. 193.52.24.28 (talk) 01:20, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please be careful about what you revert

I noticed that on two different occasions, with this edit and this edit, you reverted an edit for removing content, even though it didn't actually do so. Please be careful about what you revert - you reverted edits that were perfectly constructive and didn't remove anything important. Both of your reverts have been undone; the former by myself and the other by the IP you reverted. Thanks. Lugia2453 (talk) 22:01, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
