Hollywoodland

Ok, you mean this trivia: According to Hollywood Kryptonite book, the movie does not mention the exhibition match Reeves was scheduled with Archie Moore on June 17th - 2 rounds, 2 minutes bouts. He was also scheduled to attend HS graduation of his friend's son, also not covered in the movie.

I know, but let's talk about it... first of all, ok put it there, so it does not get reversed.... but hollywoodland should have that as well, the above statement is self explanatory.

Thank you for a nice reply on the other page, are you an administrator? There are so many bad ones here, at any rate, i did add a very nice link, nothing else, nothing more, i usually do not change anything else, there are crazy people here who accused me and even people who were once associated with me with vandalism, would you believe i was unable to find good administrator since january, well i did a couple, but i do not want to bother them with these silly things, because they will believe others. Anyways, administrators, let me assure you, they think they are gods and owe this place. You don't know half of it.

You said... Hollywoodland
I am not an administrator, actually, but I'm glad I was able to help. I think the other editors really mean no harm; they're just sticking to the letter of the Wikipedia policies, and there's really nothing wrong or at least offensive in that by itself. I'm still a bit new to Wikipedia myself, and I'm still learning about the policies too. I'm also still learning about the community, and what I have learned so far is that by far the vast majority people do have the best intentions. I do appreciate that you want to make meaningful contributions to Wikipedia, but if something happens to be against policy, I don't think there's much you can do in a place like this where majority often holds sway. I hope this doesn't discourage you from contributing, and good luck with future edits! Verkhovensky 21:26, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Well, see to it that they dont delete the nice link i put, also go on yasser arafat site and add footnote to his birth in jerusalem, its there but it should be in the main paragraph, its amazing how people are stupid here, do you often have problems with these good for nothing administrators and other idiots?Yea I contribute what I can, but not with all these aholes around, so I only do minimu, if you only knew what Kind of a war i was raging in the past, you because i wanted the truth to be known, wiki founder, as well, he is not fair, that's why i don't take crap from people, and i have access to ip's so that is not a problem.

See what can be done

1.Arafat
2.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Joplin
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Joplin
These things need changing, i simply added word jazz to ragtime, which is A FACT and a link, try to reverse that and go under history, get some of your friends,so we show these jerks!

Now, check this out... go here, this guy is totally out of line... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hollywoodland&action=history Tell me, i added a very nice link which links to other links, is there something wrong with that, so, try to get some people with brains on this garbage of a wiki and let's show these morons they are wrong. When you say discouraged? yea, the only thing I do lately is wage wars with these idiot, BECAUSE I DO NOT TAKE GARBAGE FROM THEM, and I will not.

i tell you this much, finding a good person to talk to you (i assume you are one) it's really hard to on this lousy place. You could be uncivil sometimes with these jerks who revert things ,then they use that against you, but even so, even if you are uncivil, but right, how does that uncivility change a fact which already happened? So clearly people here lost their point, they may think they have it. e.g. I wanted to add a link on hollywoodland which leads to other links, some jerks reverted that and gave me some link that it's against policy to keep bunch of links, but how many bad ones they have they do not care, also they simply put that warning or link but they just put it there to looks good without justifying what exactly they have on their stupid minds.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection You can support my claim here, but get some people, let's start something, let's have one good administrator on our side, otherwise they all stick together like cops and donuts.

Your reply

you said:

Hollywoodland I understand what you mean by uncivility not changing the facts of the case, but I also believe that maintaining civility is a good way to get people to see your side of the argument. Conversely, being uncivil makes people less likely to listen to you even if there are facts to back you up. In the case of your link, I do agree with the removal on the grounds that it violates Wikipedia policy. The policy posits that links that lead to a website of links are not suitable for Wikipedia. I appreciate the sentiment that you would like to give people a link to find more websites about the subject if they are currious, but that's against policy. If it were allowed I do believe that useful links that point in the direction of further research would surface, but then a ton of useless links that go to link dumps would also start to populate pages. So even if some useful links are deemed inappropriate, the policy is there for a reason and we editors need to follow it. Verkhovensky 23:34, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Nice to hear from you again and you reply on time and well, but you can do better, i agree with you, but can you do what i ask above, can you do that right, i simply ask to have a deep research and find out how wrong i am, if i am, not by much, otherwise, leave replies on your page.

KEEP IN MIND, BOTH SCOTT JOPLIN AND HOLLYWOODLAND, I DID MY BEST TO FOLLOW THE RULES AND INCLUDE BEST LINKS, WHICH DO NOT CONTRADICT OR GO AGAINST MADE UP WIKI POLICY, SO THEY DON'T HAVE AN ARGUMENT, THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE SEEN AS IDIOTS AND PROVEN WRONG.

I'm not an expert on the aforemnetioned subjects, so I don't know that I can provide any meaningful help. I took a very quick glance at the Scott Joplin article, and it looked like another edit war over external links again. I do remember upon first joining Wikipedia that a general warning to editors is something like "don't post things that you don't want mercilessly edited" or some such thing. Basically, sometimes there are people that disagree with you, and maybe a lot of people even. If that's the case, there's no use getting all bent out of shape about it, so just chalk it up to experience and move onto bigger, better things. That might sound like defeatist advice, but it's the best I can give. Verkhovensky 00:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, but there are aholes, you are here longer, can you find me some nice administrators, so i can explain my problem, i had this problem for a long time, and i need powerful administrator who can bring about some changes, it is very hard, you posted a lot and know folks. I do have an account, but i will not edit with that, do you know what these jerks would do, they would block it and post pure bs, so at least there, I DO NOT GIVE THEM SATISFACTION. You see, when these jerks unite as one, hard to have anything done, they agree and bookmark certain pages, so even if i revert, it gets reverted back by somebody else, again my articles were good and to answer your question, wikipedia is worse garbage there is, if they do not like you they will simply block you, right or wrong, so that's why at least i piss em off, but if i do, i always make sure links are correct and right. Simply tell administrator to look into these, these way they dont track my ip, they will delete my request, they do not want to be seen as aholes WHICH THEY ARE. I hope you understand, they are spitting on my work, that's why i do these edit wars (if thats how they call it) nothing more, nothing else.

I really think you are taking the edits of the others too personally. They're not spitting on your work, they just have a different perspective (apparently one shared by many) as to the value of specific contributions. I will reiterate that my best advice is to drop the edit wars and move onto new things that everyone finds acceptable. Verkhovensky 01:53, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I reject your comment, this was a good conversation, now this, no, i asked you what to do above, be fair, or just consider yourself one of those, too personally, really? I look hard for good links, they revert it, i ask them to talk about it, they refuse, duh! But, if you look when I ask to fix few things, add note, what do they do attack me and i am hurt many times.

Hollywoodland Troll

Verhovensky, this person is apparently a long term troll that we have been dealing with. Maybe you could add your two cents in the case against this anonymous IP abuser Gnrlotto 02:07, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is what i mean, this is exactly what i mean, over time, people like that have been attacking me, calling me a problem, calling me vandal, what am i supposed to do, seat and do nothing, being called names, when i ask for assistance, i get the above, so now you now my frustration. And i was not the only one who was doing this, they are long problem, when they promise they will do something, look what they do, backfire, i just can not seat back while they back trash me, ever.!And if i do somethign wrong ok, so be it, but most of it is very very good, and they never say... gee that's good, they only say (jerks) they only have problems!

I just can not stand while they create page on me and accuse me of garbage. They say i can not talk to other editors, I can, but nobody wants to do anything. And if they do, it's against me.

Many of the "accusations" on that page are backed up by some of your verbatim contributions. I think the best thing you can do is learn from this experience and move on to more constructive things. Verkhovensky 02:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But how can i do that, i want to clear my name, and instead of talking to me, they call me vandal, i can not stand and will nto accept that, and you could have said few good words for me too, how can i move away just like that?I must fight on, even if alone.

Ok, now i read your comments about me, what's the meaning of this, you are bad as the rest of them, you wished me good editing here, where is that wish, did you at least look into the links i posted before you said... well, they do not belong here? not nice!whatever, have a nice life. You yourself said that many administrators here are terrible.

Forgive me if I'm stepping on anyone's toes by responding to your discussion here, but this really isn't the place to "fight on". The spirit of the project is that we collaborate, and typing threatening messages in all caps in discussions doesn't really encourage anyone to want to "help" you. Rray 02:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I second that. Verkhovensky 02:31, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I take back if i was yelling, but i still reject what verk said, drop it, too personal, how can i, when i can not get any assistance here, i agree with you, but even if i say something silly, that does not change the fact that there are no good administrators and nobody wants to do anything, i was hoping verk will do something, instead, he attacked me, thanx a million.

Norse mythology

Hi,

It's great that you created articles from the remaining red links in the article about Norse mythology. But I'm sorry I had to turn the one you wrote about Ironwood into a redirect, for there's already an article about this place.

I'm glad you're working on Dostoevsky too.

Sigo 15:54, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem about the redirect - the original link in the Topics in Norse Mythology box went to a disambig page for Ironwood with only an innacurate line about the mythological location, so I figured the article needed to be created. But the real deal is a better article, so that's good for everyone. Thanks for the kind words! Verkhovensky 16:08, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Etherealization (cult)

The article Etherealization (cult) has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 15:41, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hard to say what's notable on wiki what's not, every time somebody tries to criticise administrators on their talk pages, (incident and watchboard), what they do not like, all gets deleted, the link under hollywoodland they did not like, said came from vandal, then when it was reverted back by another user, nobody touched it, so yea, we are talking about top quality hypocrity, only on wiki. And its always good to contribute here: http://www.wikipedia-watch.org/

Your recent edit to Dostoevsky's devils

I think your wording is very misleading on Dostoevsky's article and his intentions. Since he was being critical of Michael Bakunin and his ideas of socialism, nihilism (as coined by Ivan Turgenev). Turgenev and the targets of the book where on the left. Please reconsider. It you need sources I can oblige. His criticisms where not equal to both left and right Dostoevsky was a Russian Orthodox slavophil and monarchist. LoveMonkey 01:59, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Calling all active WP:NOVELS members

WikiProject Novels Roll Call

WikiProject Novels is currently holding a roll call, which we hope to have annually. Your username is listed on the members list, but we are unsure as to which editors are still active within the project. If you still consider yourself an active WP:Novels editor, please add your name back to the Active Members list. Also feel free to join any of our task forces and take a look at the project's Job Centre to get involved!

Next month we will begin the coordinator election selection process. We hope to have more involvement and input this time around! More news will be forthcoming. Thanks, everyone! María (habla conmigo) 14:04, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Real Verkhovensky

Sorry I haven't seen that you already got the correct transliteration. I would change my nick if you object to my name. Actually I wanted "Werchowensky & Son", but the software didn't allow it.--Werchowensky (talk) 19:08, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which one are you?

Stepan Trofimovich or Pyotor Stepanovich? Kurt Weber (Go Colts!: 14-0) 18:52, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose I've always thought of it as Pyotr Stepanovich, though I can assure you that I do not share his murderous tendencies! Verkhovensky (talk) 00:18, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Collaboration for your alma mater

UC San Diego has been a recurring candidate for the Universities Collaboration of the Month but it has been short the votes necessary to win on several occasions. If you'd like to see a concerted effort to improve the article on your alma mater, please drop by the collaboration page to cast your vote. Also feel free to help improve our current collaborations during their last few days. Cheers! -Mabeenot (talk) 22:31, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm so glad you like the template!

I actually just requested the creation of that template last night; I was testing it on pages that I thought would be good candidates. I also did Tobacco_Master_Settlement_Agreement#MSA_by_state and Civil_procedure_in_the_United_States#State_rules_of_civil_procedure and a few others. I'm hoping that all the redlinks will inspire people to write new articles, e.g. students who are studying for the bar exam in each state.

I hope you go ahead and drop the template in places where you think it would be appropriate.

Terribly Happy

Hello. You're quite welcome for my edits on Terribly Happy. I saw a preview of it last evening in the theatre and it was very intense and well acted. I found it to be an interesting mix, for me, of Ingmar Begman-esque facial dramas, a kind of cowboy town western -- more like intense Clint Eastwood silent types in small towns -- and a well-acted, human interpersonal drama with implications of big city life (Copenhagen) v. very small town life (Jutland). The town characters were amazing character studies. Bests. -- (Bob) Wikiklrsc (talk) 16:28, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 20:21, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Message for you.

Hello, Verkhovensky. You have new messages at Adamfinmo's talk page.

Thanks for settling the dispute on List of unusual deaths

		The Third Opinion Award
		Thank you for coming by and giving your opinion. We had been editing, reverting, and discussing for nearly a week. It was nice to have someone else come in and give a third opinion. Adam in MO Talk 19:14, 15 July 2010 (UTC) — Adam in MO Talk 19:14, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Talk Page Archiving

Due to the size (56k)and the age (nearly 4 years), of your talk page, I thought you may be interested in setting up Mizabot to auto archive your talk page. I found the documentation helpful.

December 2010

In a recent edit to the page Lawless v. Ireland, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 06:15, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, and thanks for keeping me honest. I'll be more careful about running roughshod over perfectly fine British English with AWB! Verkhovensky (talk) 07:18, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrol survey

New page patrol – Survey Invitation

Hello Verkhovensky! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.

If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only.
If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.

You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey. Global message delivery 13:47, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited 1919 Kentucky Derby, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Preakness (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:09, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

San Francisco meetup at WMF headquarters

Hi Verkhovensky,

I just wanted to give you a heads-up about the next wiki-meetup happening in SF. It'll be located at our very own Wikimedia Foundation offices, and we'd love it if some local editors who are new to the meetup scene came and got some free lunch with us :) Please sign up on the meetup page if you're interested in attending, and I hope to see you soon!

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:09, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Morivch photo

	Morivch photo
	I wanted to verify that the 1922 Kentucky Derby photo of Morvich is in the public domain. I saw you were the uploader and this is apparently the only way to contact someone in Commons. Sewasty (talk) 21:23, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the question. Since the image is from 1922, it is in the public domain. All images published before 1923 are in the public domain. Verkhovensky (talk) 23:02, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
