Vandalism vs. content/npov issues.

This dif is POV but not vandalism. In general, it is a good idea not to call well-meaning edits vandalism even when they have POV problems. JoshuaZ 02:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to you correcting my misperception of NPOV as Vandalism, Sorry will keep an eye out for that in the future.... I thought i was classifying it wrong, but to me it looked like someone was debating the articles wording and changed it without any discussion on the talk page as far as i could see, thank you for correcting me ScorpO 02:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(reposted it here because of reading the title on your page, may aswell keep it in here.."

Sorry for posting this on your User page beofore, my mistake...

I am also very sorry for disobeying the many different policies that Wikipedia seems to have assembled, I was not aware of any of them. I do have a question though, how does one explain the deletion of two and a half hours of work revising to the Theory of Evolution page (just stating the arguments against evolution, not REMOVING anything)???

Crappy new articles

Yeah sure, db-bio should be cool, thanks for the pointer. AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE Greengiraffe 05:50, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shark's fin soup

Please do not revert my edit. icecold1 06:57, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Steve Irwin has nothing to do with Shark's fin soup. Just because he is against eating shark's fin soup does not mean that it should be inside the article as well. icecold1 07:47, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to Shark fin soup, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. , Since it is obvious people continue to eat shark fin soup whether Stever Irwin liked it or not, then there is nothing wrong in putting it in. If you want to present a POV statement by putting Steve rwin in the article so that to promote the stopping of shark's fin soup eating, I do not see why putting my edit in is a form of vandalism.icecold1 08:10, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I want to draw attention to this warning, this warning was given due to me giving Icecold1 a blatant vandal warning for his constant reverting of Shark fin soup to a version which was vandalised by himself. I don't try to be snappy but immature people such as himself are a cancer to wikipedia, not a contributor:) ScorpO 13:33, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

250 The Boss

Sorry. Also, because the author of the article made the claim that the subject may have been signd to Capitol Records, speedy wasn't appropriate. (I also took the liberty of removing the personal attacks against you. You don't have to respond to schuff like that.) - CobaltBlueTony 23:55, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, I didn't realise the 'signed to Capitol Records' part, however I did do a google for his name and his apparent 'show' Wezzy Baby and came up with nothing but junk. ScorpO 00:01, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If the {{prod}} tag goes unchallenged, the article might be deleted or moved to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. - CobaltBlueTony 00:04, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

J-Status

Oops - now I feel bad about it, however if notable I expect it will be re-created.

Deletion template

That page was more nonsense than anything else; it was not my intent to step on your toes. --Mhking 02:23, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hartford, Cheshire

Please could you expand on the reason for the reverst due to spam to my edits to Hartford - see my [[talkpage. I am unclear why I spammed the page. I added an economics section to Hartford, Cheshire and linked to wikipedia articles for two large corporate companies with offices in Hartford. I cited this by adding links to their corporate website to show that they really did have registered offices in Hartford. I have only been editing Wikipedia for a few months but have many hundreds of edits, so I do not consider myself to be a new user. Please could it be clarified for me what I have done wrong - is it the citations that reference the corporate websites that have been picked up and caused you to believe the pages are spammed? If it is, could you please indicate to me an alternative method of citing the claims in the economics section? Pixie2000 00:09, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I am going to answer my own question - I am pretty sure it was reverted due to citation references to external corporate websites. As I guess I do not need to cite the claims made in the economics section I have put them back in without the citations, and therefore external links. However, I am still not convinced this is spamming! Pixie2000 00:30, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All sorted now - I did have links to internal articles too, but cited that fact that those organisations had offices in Hartford through referencing their websites. Anyway, I am happy now - Anyway, I am happy now - and learned something about citing - thanks!! Pixie2000 00:33, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Storkyrkobrinken

Hello,
Thank you for keeping an eye on new articles. However, you added a clean-up message in an article I just created, Storkyrkobrinken, but failed to explain why on the talk page or on the clean-up page. I'm fully aware my English could develop and is not really aware of all the guidelines on Wikipedia, so I'd be glad if you could make your case more clear.
/ Mats Halldin (talk) 19:29, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again,

OK, you're right, there was a lot of old names for this street and the format I've been using made it hard to read. I created a sort of temporary pseudo-infobox in the article and removed to cleanup tag.

I've started to gather information about streets and alleys in the old town of Stockholm, hoping the information one day will go into some sort of infobox in a still to come article series. The unconventional format for 'Old names', 'Parallel streets', and 'Crossing streets' is simply my way of storing the information in the articles "for now". I'm really not sure how to do it properly according to style guidelines, etc. If you happen to have any ideas, please let me know.

Thanks / Mats Halldin (talk) 08:22, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Again, thanks for taking your time and also for the Wikipedia-related links. I think I did get a welcome message way back in 2003, but can't say I remember very much of it, and the WP:IA link was very interesting.

While I'm not working as much as you do, we seem to share the experience of real life being an obstacle in our contributing efforts - personally I try to create content separately from community-related stuff, an approach I think I recommend (meaning its OK if your answers are lagging).

All help is appreciated, so I might return to you. Thanks again, Mats Halldin (talk) 16:25, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Renetto. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Editor opinion: Very inappropriate deletion. --Oakshade 02:28, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

3G's in indonesia

I noticed you re-added the {{dated prod}} template to 3G's in indonesia, after the page's creator removed it. Per WP:PROD, your reverts were wrong, because if anyone objects to the deletion of a {{prod}}'ed article for any reason, they can remove the dated prod template. It cannot be re-added once it is removed. If the article is to be deleted, it will have to be nominated for AFD. Please do not revert specific objections to proposed deletions again.

Microsoft_Say_Macedonia

Thanks for your input on this article, and for giving proper notice to the creator. Please also see my nomination at Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Microsoft_Say_Macedonia. You deserve a Barnstar, but I don't know how to add one. Bearian 01:13, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
