Hello! On Wikipedia, I spend some of my time patrolling recent changes and new pages. If, while doing so, you believe I have made a mistake, please note:

Everyone makes mistakes, including (and sometimes, especially) me. Edits I revert, I generally revert as they appear to be vandalism of some sort.
If you believe I have made a mistake, just undo my edit, and leave me a message pointing it out here. I'll be happy to work with you to fix it.
I am not here everyday. If you leave me a message and I don't respond immediately, don't panic! I will get back to you the next time I am online and see your message.
Finally, welcome! Please put new posts at the bottom of this page. Cheers!

Temple Israel/your note

Thanks for your kind note. I'm doing my best to keep some of those articles from being deleted right now... Jayjg ^(talk) 03:32, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome about the note. The articles are at risk of being deleted? What can be done to try and stop that? I obviously feel they should stay as well. I don't know what I could do, but if there is ever anything I can do to help stop them from being deleted, I would be happy to do it.WacoJacko (talk) 05:46, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your concern. Someone prodded a few articles I created the other day. We'll have to see what happens next. Jayjg ^(talk) 01:03, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

72.11.83.22

You denied the block request for 72.11.83.22 , the last vandalization by user may have been five days ago. However, I feel the anti-semetic and racist nature of this anon user's vandalism warrants a block. Also, the only edits(out of many) have been vandal attempts. How can I get a second opinion on this?WacoJacko (talk) 04:34, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Such as this edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jew%27s_harp&diff=prev&oldid=256302558

Hi, I'm not saying he shouldn't be blocked, just that WP:AIV isn't the place to report it (see the three points in the banner at the top of the page). WP:ANI is probably the best place to request blocks in other cases. --fvw * 04:39, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Template Deletion Vote

Hi,

Not much of a voter other than contributing to articles. Just saw this vote for deletion here with regards to the Sri Lankan civil war and thought this might be of interest to you:

Wiki Raja (talk) 22:41, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi.Yes, I have seen that deletion vote, I voted to keep the category. Maybe I am missing something, but how do those two news stories relate to the deletion discussion? Thanks!WackoJacko (talk) 00:06, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(moved from THF talk page) Which personal view am I going off of? Exactly what makes Tamils special enough to be the only ethnicity to have their own ethnic terror category? Jews are a religion as much as an ethnicity, so there is no parallel there. One can oppose the demonization and exceptionalization of an ethnic group and still condemn (and categorize) Terrorists with Sri Lankan nationalities as Sri Lankan terrorists.Pectore^talk 03:05, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's no demonization, that is where you are pushing your point of view. The category makes no mention of demonizing the ethnic group.WackoJacko (talk) 03:07, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to bring up that the Sri Lankan government commits state terrorism and of course can be seen with its allies as such. It also promotes state sponsored terrorism by sponsoring paramilitaries. It seems that Sri Lanka has now allied with Iran, China, and Pakistan on its so called war on terror. Sorry to post this on your talk page. I just want to stay out of the vote discussion, because it seems nonsensical. What is actually going on is a clash of political POV. Sadly, with one side hell bent on tagging Tamils as terrorist. In my honest opinion, ethnic groups should not be categorized as a terrorist group, but rather by nationality. Regards. Wiki Raja (talk) 05:27, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you don't have to apologize for posting anything. I thank you for the information and your polite discussion.WackoJacko (talk) 05:33, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I definitely don't take any side regarding the Tamil people or the Sri Lankan Government.WackoJacko (talk) 06:00, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Plague -bubos.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Plague -bubos.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. feydey (talk) 13:51, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The image is in the public domain, as it is an image from the CDC. I have added the relevant copyright tag to the image(I had forgotten when I uploaded it). Thanks. WackoJacko (talk) 13:58, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

However, it was noted in the description that the image was from a United States Government website(specifically the CDC). I just thought I would let you know that.WackoJacko (talk) 14:01, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Your AIV report on Wasifwasif

Thank you for your report on Wasifwasif (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and you are encouraged to revert, warn and report inappropriate conduct. I have however declined to act on this report for the following reason:

Edits are not vandalism. Please ensure recent edits constitute vandalism before re-reporting. The user looks articulate while not knowing much about Wikipedia. He looks like he's trying to achieve something, please take it to the talk page.

The Guide to administrator intervention against vandalism might be a helpful read if you wish to improve your future reports. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Cheers! -- lucasbfr ^talk 10:25, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wasifwasif was repeatedly blanking the entire page. That doesn't seem like a normal edit to me. He blanked the entire article numerous times. After looking at it further, I guess he is trying to move the article to a new location at Category:Islamic_Shrines_in_Tamil_Nadu (which was allready deleted multiple times, and he has now re-created). However, when I filed the report all I saw was this person repeatedly blanking the entire article(over 3 times). Also, I came upon this from looking at the recent changes and seeing a user had blanked a page. I have no personal feelings whatsoever about shrines in Tamil Nadu. I was just trying to stop vandalism. Secondly, what should be done about this new "category" he has created? As it is a re-creation of a delete category(that had been through a category for deletion discussion).

Reversion on United States expedition to Korea

If you have a particular reason for the edit reversion regarding the term chattel, please let me know. That term is not in the reference cited. As such, for accuracy, I put the exact quote from the reference. Thank you for your consideration.Bluelake (talk) 03:01, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Rights

WakoJaco, Please do not use Wikipedia for your own personal agenda, which seems quite clear going through your User talk page. Wikipedia is not the place to promote your political agenda.

As far as editing, I suggest you read the Wikipedia About Editing Pages. You have no more rights than anyone else in editing pages. KevinH22 (talk) 03:28, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello KevinH22. I gave you a message on your talk page about adding unsourced material to articles. If you will notice, other users have warned you as well. If you look through your history you have repeatedly engaged in revert wars and the adding of unsourced POV content. I suggest you read Wikipedia:Citing sources and Wikipedia:No original research. I would also suggest that you refrain from personal attacks. If you have any other questions, please ask. Thanks!WackoJacko (talk) 03:33, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removing template

Can I ask why? §hep ^Talk 16:41, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I had made some changes on the template, and for some reason it wasn't updating.Wacko Jack O 03:40, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. That'd be due to the job queue. A null edit should do the same trick, forces the servers to update their cache ahead of the queue. I just saw templates leaving and coming right back and wanted to make sure you didn't need any help. I just noticed that you've been around for quite awhile longer than me though, probably nothing extra I could have offered anyways. :D Cheers, §hep ^Talk 05:14, 18 February 2009 (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 clear cases of 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. Happy editing!

Movie palace

Hi. Not to be pedantic, but the term "Movie palace" refers to a specific type of large theatre specifically designed for movies, usually in an elaborate decorative style. While the Southern Theatre functioned as a movie theatre for many years, architecturally it was built as and remains essentially a 19th Century legitimate theatre. Best wishes! Markhh (talk) 15:27, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it was originally built for vaudeville, and then was used for silent films, and then films with sound. The inside of the theatre is definitely an elaborate decorative style.Wacko Jack O 16:38, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you are interested in historic theatres and the Southern is really a gem. And so beautifully restored, - it's really an exceptional theatre in its beauty, acoustics, history and architectural significance. Columbus is indeed lucky. The Southern wasn't actually built for vaudeville, though, but legit theater and was the area's primary venue for plays, operettas and the like until 1911. No doubt it was a movie theatre - and a beautiful one when it started showing movies from the 1910s on. A "movie palace" though refers to the type of large purpose-built theatres designed in the 1910's and 1920's by Thomas Lamb, Rapp and Rapp and others where a fantasy environment was created to enhance and glamorize the movie-going experience. So while the Southern was a beautiful movie theater it wasn't what is really meant by the term "Movie palace". Best wishes and kindest regards. Markhh (talk) 16:56, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I will take your word on that, you seem to have a better knowledge than me in this area. I guess, I was misunderstanding the actual definition of a palace theatre. I didn't realize the theatre had to be built in that specific time period. Thanks for taking the time to explain it.Wacko Jack O 04:58, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hyperpower

hey, the same user keeps on adding china as a hyperpower, and doesnt seem to be stopping. Any advice on what to do? Deavenger (talk) 02:41, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I see that 24.87.45.232 is at it again. The only thing to really do is warn him once more, and if he does not stop(which he probably won't) then report him again at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. He has already been blocked once for this. He almost never gives an edit summary, barely uses a reference(if he does it's from a blog or a forum), and refuses to discuss his edits on talk pages. Also, if you look through his contributions, he does this to a lot of different articles(that have to do with China, and the Chinese Military/weaponry). It is hard to assume good faith anymore with this user, as he has been warned countless times, and never one tried to discuss this. I have had some type of food poisoning or something, so I haven't been editing actively the past couple days. Hopefully, if this editor gets a long enough block he will get the message.Wacko Jack O 22:11, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. I don't want to try to engage in an edit war with him, and the fact on one of his edits, he added half the different chinese empires. While I don't disagree that china might have been a historical hyperpower (I'm looking for some sources on historical hyperpowers), he shouldn't keep on readding it even after both of us told him to bring a source for it. BTW, hope you get better from the food poisoning. Deavenger (talk) 22:52, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion criterion A7

I'm coming here because I've declined three of your speedy deletion requests (Obaby, OpRap, and Unibet) that were made under criterion A7. This criterion only applies to people, organizations, and web content, and not products or terms. It also doesn't apply if an assertion of significance is made. I've prodded Obaby and OpRap, however. Subjects that fail to be A7 candidates may still fall under other criteria, so you may wish to review them. I don't believe any of these three do, however. Someguy1221 (talk) 22:46, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see where Obaby asserted its notability at all. The only reference for Oprap was a blank website.However, I agree that Unibet wouldn't qualify.

Obaby was declined because products cannot be speedy deleted under criterion A7, and OpRap was declined because being unreferenced is not a speedy deletion criterion, nor can words be deleted under A7 either. I agree with you though, that they are probably not suitable as articles, and that is why I have left them as PRODs. Someguy1221 (talk) 22:52, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't look close enough at Obaby, I thought it was a company not a product, my mistake.Wacko Jack O 22:54, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You carelessly reverted and wiped out my addition

You seem interested only in deleting articles. You serve no useful role on Wikipedia. Shiplevelone (talk) 09:32, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, if you look here, only 76 of my edits(out of around 2500) are deleted edits. That would not seem to indicate that I am "interested only in deleting articles". However, I do thank you for your input. Also, you might want to refrain from personal attacks, it is better to focus more on the content, as opposed to the editor him/her self. Thanks again, let me know if you need anything!Wacko Jack O 09:38, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, your "edition" was to continue to delete the "speedy deletion" template on the article. Instead, you should just add the hangon template.Wacko Jack O 09:41, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Look carefully. My "addition" was an addition to the article which you proposed to delete. An article about a large wind energy company will not be deleted. I hope after 2500 edits you've apprehended some idea of what stays on Wikipedia. You probably have. But you insist on a useless bureaucratic move. My criticism stands. I will focus on the editor because you have a problem.

Shiplevelone (talk) 10:13, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You should know that you don't delete "deletion" templates. Indecently, your article doesn't have a single reference. Your article does not have any verifiable claim to notability. If you need anymore help, just ask.

Your addition, deleted the template on the article, I do see now that you added one additional sentence as well. However, you can't delete the "deletion" templates, and must add a "hangon" template instead. Additionaly, it helps to add an edit summary, that way other editors can have some idea what you are doing. It could have definitely helped avoid this situation. I suggest you calm down, and instead of attacking me, try and and improve your article.Wacko Jack O 10:25, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your reply: Hi, You cannot add copyrighted material to Wikipedia(like you have done). You also need valid references(not connected to World News Network in this case) for any article you create.

Why my edits are considered as vandalism? Am I stating incorrect facts?

195.158.84.236 (talk) 09:16, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, while technically correct, human is the specific term. Labeling pictures on cumshot as "a great ape ejaculating on a women" is vandalism. You are engaging in vandalism and an edit war, and will be blocked.Wacko Jack O 09:18, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Camp Tamakwa

Where's the standard for including details regarding deaths at various places? A man died at the local mall here, should that be detailed in the mall's article? What about the soldier that had a seizure while driving to base, lost control, drove into the wall and died? Does that go in the article of the base? Of course not. The information was relevant when charges were placed upon the camp. I have the documents that show the charges have been withdrawn.

"Information No. 08-0245, Ontario Court of Justice, Provincial Offences Court. Regina (Minstry of Labour) vs. Camp Tamakwa, Victor Norris, Craig Perlmutter. Proceedings: Heard before His Worship Justice of the Peace M. Moreau on February 20, 2009, at North Bay, Ontario." The certified transcript shows Mr. Wilson, on behalf of the Ministry of Labour, stating "I am no longer convinced that we have a reasonable prospect of conviction and the Crown will be withdrawing these charges against all three parties." The court endorses.

I can send this to you if you would like. Until there is further information that makes this a notable and relevant event to the camp, it should not be included in the article. We don't document deaths, regardless of where they occur, unless it is a notable event, which this isn't. Unfortunate? Certainly. Notable? Not at all. لenna vecia 15:18, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's covered in a reliable, secondary source(mainstream media), that is enough to meet the standards for inclusion for the info. All we have to go by are the sources. However, I did take out the part mentioning the charges, however, I have found no sources verifying that on the internet.Wacko Jack O 15:24, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I would say the standard for including deaths at various places, would be when they are covered by a reliable, independent, secondary source. In this case, The Daily Observer. I would say the death, is just is notable as anything else in the camp article. Wacko Jack O 15:29, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And you would be wrong. لenna vecia 15:32, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why, because you don't agree? I would say it is very notable if someone died an accidental drowning at a camp for children, as long as it is properly sourced, which it is. Wacko Jack O 15:36, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Natasha Richardson is not mentioned in Mont Tremblant Resort, nor should she be. A counselor dying at a children's camp is notable when the camp is found to be at fault. Barring that, it is not appropriate for the article. لenna vecia 15:48, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would think that Natasha Richardson should definitely be mentioned in Mont Tremblant Resort. Just mentioning the death in an article does not automatically imply fault.Wacko Jack O 15:52, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not relevant to the article. People die all the time. We don't document it like this. Absurd. لenna vecia 16:37, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Celo Community

Hi WacoJacko-- Just dropping a note to say that I objected to your proposed deletion of the Celo Community entry and I have explained my objection on a talk page for that entry. It doesn't have the fame of Oneida or New Harmony, but it was the subject of a relatively recent book with a good press and is underappreciated perhaps because of its size, though it should be studied for both its longevity and its connections to New Deal bureaucrat Arthur Morgan (first president of the T.V.A.). I have students completing and uploading wikipedia entries as an assignment (due on Wed. April 8th, so they're uploading them tonight), and I have talked with them and agreed to their chosen topics based on my judgment about the worthiness of the topic relative to the word count they are proposing. I would be happy to speak further if you have any further questions or objections to this or other entries. yours, Patrick Schmidt (associate prof. of political science, Macalester College, St. Paul, Minnesota). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pdwschmidt (talk • contribs) 04:22, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, If some reliable secondary sources(not from the community itself) can be added, I will be in favor of the article being kept. Please read Wikipedia:Reliable sources for the Wikipedia policy on sources. If you have any questions just ask. Wacko Jack O 07:14, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Although it needs to be edited (the citation to Miller is ambiguous) the references/citations themselves make clear that there is credible external material available--notably the 2001 book from University of Illinois Press. Did you just overlook that? More broadly, one has to begin to wonder what one does with published oral histories when developing Wikipedia entries. Certainly many of the entries on political thought make use of or reference to autobiographical accounts or theoretical pieces themselves--obscuring the effective meaning of the "no original work" principle. But such considerations need not apply here--although reference may be made to self-performed histories for purposes of the details, the question here is "is this entry about a significant topic", and in light of the scholarly work on the subject, which is duly referenced in this piece, very clearly it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pdwschmidt (talk • contribs) 17:38, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The citation to Miller has been edited, which makes clear that it is given discussion in a book on utopian communities in America, published by Syracuse University Press. Very little of what is cited comes from material directly produced by the community. I hope that resolves it in your mind. Pdwschmidt (talk) 21:55, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that was what I was talking about as far as the secondary sources were concerned. Thanks for your work.Wacko Jack O 22:19, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wasting time at ANI

I would advise giving up your ANI report and not wasting anymore time there.Wacko Jack O 00:15, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Moving this here since, as mentioned, dynamic ip and all that (wouldn't want someone else seeing the message and getting confused).

You're really one to talk about wasting time. Good idea or bad idea, at least I was addressing an actual incident (however trivial). But your "but you did it too! sorta!" was just plain silly. It had nothing to do with whether or not WebHamster was crossing the line. It didn't even have anything to do with insults.

There are two things you can't dispute: misguided or not, I'm trying my best to improve the article and address people's arguments. And, without even considering tone, faith, or anything else, that last part I quoted was full of insults.

You want to say I need a thicker skin? Fine. That'd make a lot of sense if this were a forum or something. But can you honestly say that musing over whether I'm "obtuse", "pedantic", or "naively innocent" (and then finally deciding) is really an attempt to improve the article? If yes, then I guess we simply have to agree to disagree. If not, then there is something seriously wrong here.

In any event, you don't need to tell me that I'm wasting my time. Right or wrong, the sort of crap people can get away with these days (particularly against IP editors) merely reinforces why I mostly left wikipedia in the first place. My current plan is to try to create a better (and by 'better', I mean 'more clear) argument in the article's talk page, in the hope of breaking out of this endless cycle. Hopefully, people will try to contribute. If not, screw it.

(oh, and should you not want this on your talk page either, don't forget that anyone has the right to simply delete discussions from their talk pages if they so choose) 209.90.133.75 (talk) 00:32, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course people are allowed to delete discussions on their talk pages. Although, it is considered better to archive it instead. However, as far as "musing over whether your "obtuse", "pedantic", or "naively innocent"", I think you have me confused with another editor. I believe he/she said that to you because your tone was provocative and condescending, and then when someone pointed that out to you, you started taking offense, and throwing around wiki terms like WP:CIVIL. I do think that your ANI report was was a waste of time, and I do think you should grow some thicker skin(no offense meant). However, I do hope you can continue to contribute to Wikipedia.Wacko Jack O 00:58, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Now I really have made a mistake. It was not my intention to imply that you had done that musing. It was webhamster. That was only part of why I did the report. My point was that I may have been a bit terse with you, but he(/she) was outright disruptive, so your addition to the ani report wasn't really 'the same thing'.

As for the deleting thing, you'd really be surprised by how many people don't know they're allowed to do that. I've even seen admins threatening to block people for removing content from their own talk pages (because not even all admins know that you can!). So, just as a precaution, I try to include that reminder whenever I post something that might be at all unpleasant on someone's talk page. 209.90.133.75 (talk) 01:05, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I've seen people threatened/warned about clearing their talk page comments as well, that is one of my pet peeves(the warning not the clearing).Wacko Jack O 01:30, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your reversion of my addition to Leo Baxendale

You additions to the article must be neutral(not a point of view), and they must have valid references.

Re: edit to Leo Baxendale

Thanks for your answer. I am the author of the book referred to, and I felt that the sentence about racism was misleading/takes the work out of context. How can I provide appropriate context? Is the original sentence not simply a point of view?

Magnetic water treatment

This article originally seemed to violate NPOV because it asserted that the technology WAS pseudoscience. It may well be (and probably is, at least as far as medicine is concerned), but the (scientific) jury is still out as far as certain industrial applications such as water storage and water-pipe distribution systems are concerned!

I have added some references, but they are commercial rather than academic, because the idea is that WP is supposed to be a starting point for inquiry. I will try to find something better.

If any new articles don't specifically state that its listed on the NRHP, but, for whatever reason, mentions some type of histotical or architectural importance, feel free to send by me if you need a second opinion. I got the idea for my user page from the layout of portals. Your welcome to copy code from mine, but I took a look at yours and if place a space between each of the flagicon templates detailing the places you've visited, it'll display better in IE.

Not Autobiographical

I made some edits to this entry. I am not Ed Weidenfeld. So, I did not think this merited an autobiography tag.

The article has been edited extensively by someone who's IP address geolocates to within about a block(as close as it can pinpoint) of Mr. Weidefelds law office. In my opinion, the article definitely merits the tag.Wacko Jack O 00:45, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rejection of your outlandish claims

If you read closely, I amended the article to make it neutral. Prior to my edits- all allegations were worded as if tey were proven fact- which, considering the allegedly "verifiable source material" used to cite or substantiate the outlandish and at times unapologetic biased pro-Jewish claims. I suggest you apply your allegations of verifiability to the substantial Jewish claims especially by the vested interest groups such as ADL.

The Dream Master

Initially you reverted the deletion of data by an anonymous IP. You then re-deleted it because you noted the musical album did not have an article, here. At the time I added it the album did have an article, but it was later deleted. However, you also re-deleted Little Nemo: The Dream Master which was still an article. I have added that back, along with a note about Nightmare on Elm Street. Dream Master has been turned into a disambig for the moment (since the album was deleted). 'The Dream Master' could easily be a disambig but since the book has no pretext like the game and movie, may as well keep it there for now. Tyciol (talk) 01:58, 18 July 2009 (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, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes 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. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

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) 01:12, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me obtain some fairnessDr. W. Flores (talk) 11:01, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

On an article section of a religious college, an editor persists on listing exclusively a couple of graduates who are notorious criminals. I feel his exclusive list of graduates is unfair to the many other graduates who are not criminals and who are unfairly represented by this editor who seemingly is opposed to that particular religious organization.

The wiki article is called Hyles-Anderson College and the section is called Alumni, while the seemingly biased editor is called MrOllie, but created a new editor acc that he is using to send threats and erase my changes. His new acc is HHaeyyn89.

My request is for you to evaluate the proposed addition:

A X01153943 added a new section titled Distinguised Alumni that I fully support. The new section is listed as follows:

Dr. Jack Schapp, Pastor of First Baptist Church of Hammond, IN. In July 2006, the Church Report magazine named First Baptist number 24 on its list of the 50 most influential churches in the United States.[2]

Kevin Cowling, Pastor of Valley Baptist Church in Mesa, AZ and Administrator of Valley Baptist School & of Valley Baptist Institute.

Tim Ruhl, Pastor of Pleasant Valley Baptist Church in Chico, CA.

Michael Ray, Pastor of Hopewell Baptist Church in Napa, CA.

Rodger Alley, Pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church of Greater Denver in Denver, CO.

Daniel Kaighen, Pastor of Lighthouse Baptist Church in Norwalk, CT.

Dennis Atkinson, Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Englewood, FL.

Brian Evans, Pastor of Oakwood Baptist Church in Flowery Branch, GA.

Keith Gomez, Pastor of Northwest Bible Baptist Church in Elgin, IL and Administrator of Northwest Baptist Academy & of Providence Baptist College.

Jonathan Pope, Pastor of Christchurch Baptist Fellowship in Houston, Tx.

Clayton Reed, Pastor of Southlake Baptist Church in Southlake, TX.

Dr. Jeff Owens, Pastor of Shenandoah Bible Baptist Church in Martinsburg, WV and Administrator of Martinsburg Christian Academy.

Dr. John Paisley, Pastor of Riverview Baptist Church in Pasco, WA.

I realize that the format for this new addition may not be the best, but I still feel that leaving the biased editor's list of only two criminals as "THE ALUMNI" is unfair. Could you please help include at least a couple of these prominent alumni into the list of Alumni to have a proper and fair sample?

A stated reason these alumni was erased from the last was that "A pastor in Flowery Branch, Georgia, a town of less than 4,000 people, is not notable" even though X01153943 stated that "The location of a church is irrelevant when assessing notability."

The criterion used to have these alumni included is that they are grads that are Pastors of mega-churches and most well-known large churches (over a 1000 members) and college founders.

I feel my error may be that I do not know yet how to place the information in Wiki the way I am supposed to place it. Either way, I feel there is still a need to meet at a middle ground on this issue. X01153943 even shortened the list to include only those with verifiable notability, and even requested assistance from the editor in question to obtain a middle ground. Request was deleted.

Your help to obtain a fair resolution, even if it is not fully what the graduates and me desire, would be greatly appreciated.

Updating Comments Regarding Hutton Gibson

Date: November 7, 2013 Re.: Updating Gibson Site with Active Link to Speak Your Piece! Interview Transcript Active Link: http://archive.is/nxb0I

I hope this finds you well.

By way of introduction, my name is Steve Feuerstein, I am radio show host based in NYC, and recently read several of your comments on Hutton Gibson's Wikipedia Homepage.

I was hoping that you could assist me in the following: Quotation 24 on Gibson's site, referencing my transcript/interview with Hutton Gibson on Speak Your Piece!, is now inactive. The link hosted by Movie City News no longer yields the partial transcript of the interview which I conducted with Mel's father approximately one week prior to release of The Passion. The transcript has, however, been archived by Movie City News at the following active link: http://archive.is/nxb0I

I mention this at this point in time for a distinct reason. Several weeks ago I was flown to LA to be interviewed by a national television network that is producing a one-hour documentary about Mel Gibson on the 10th anniversary of the release of the film. As such, I believe that the site will once again receive significant attention and that readers at large will find his extended comments disturbing and educational.

Thank you for your assistance. If for some reason this is a burden to you, please let me know and I will continue to seek assistance regarding this matter.

Warm regards,

Steve

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 02:10, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
