Is a vandal who is undoing most of my revisions without giving any good reasons. You can see that in here

You changed one of his revisions for Kabul province but he undid your revision as well. I don't really know who the administrator is, but if you are one of the admins, please do something about that use. (Ketabtoon (talk) 01:37, 23 July 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Is there an administrator/moderator whom we can get in touch with? If you are one than take a look at this

My talk page

In the past, you have raised a concern about my talk page "wizard" system. I have changed this to an FAQ-based system (User talk:Stifle/FAQs), and would appreciate your feedback at User talk:Stifle/FAQs/feedback or elsewhere. Stifle (talk) 12:02, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RSN follow-up please

Hi, you were nice enough to enlighten me on Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#The New American reliable source and is this appropriate for Immigration Equality .28organization.29. Would you be willing to revisit and see if I've correctly interpreted what you posted? I feel this user is looking to prolong this and hopes to use this source or types of sourcing in similar circumstances. Your time is appreciated. -- Banjeboi 22:42, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that all of them are, technically, alive (cue some sort of bad politician joke here). But I'm erring on the side of caution and tagging them from now on as you suggested. I believe Blofeld has spoken to Rjwilmsi about coming around and sprucing them all up once they're created - his AWBing skills are far superior to mine. --User:AlbertHerring ^{Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla!} 02:12, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RE: User:76.232.254.170

As you may have guessed, ethnic numbers are a huge issue in contemporary Afghanistan. I have gone through the source by searching for all instances of the word Tajik and there is nothing I saw that states Tajiks are the largest ethnic group. Between the two sources, the one that supports Pashtuns as the majority ethnic group (the government of Afghanistan) and Tajiks as the majority ethnic group (Naval Postgraduate School), I find the government of Afghanistan to be a more WP:reliable source, but you know, you will find editors who disagree. The Government of North Korea for example, is rarely if ever a valid source. But, since the only thing actually found in the source is the population number, we can go ahead and revert. --Afghana ^[talk] 06:57, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We can lock the article from edits by IPs and new users. --Afghana ^[talk] 22:00, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's certainly not one of those issues that will go away if nothing is done about it. Since you seem to be on top of the issue perhaps we should go ahead and take it to where it needs to go. --Afghana ^[talk] 05:50, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chance or Purpose?

This entry is about Schonborn's book ... it is quite popular. I think it deserves to exist for the same reason that we already have a separate entry on From Darwin to Hitler. I essentially wanted to add additional information about Schonborn's views outside of the topic of evolution and I found that that his biographical entry was filled with extra information about this book. He has done much more than publish these writings you know. ADM (talk) 02:26, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

re:Downers Grove North High School

Good evening, Wtwag!

I reverted one of the alumni you deleted in this article, and wanted to explain why.

Per WP:ATHLETE, athletes who have actually competed in the Olympics are generally considered to have reached minimal notability for article status. While this is not a question of starting an article, the Wikiproject school guidelines generally state that an alum may be included if the alum meets the requiements of notability in an article (provided that a reliable source confirms they are an alum).

If there is something I have misinterpreted or am just plain wrong about, please let me know at your convenience so that I may correct it. Have a great day! LonelyBeacon (talk) 01:35, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya

Apologies if my response seemed snippy. I'm using HG so my warnings are auto generated. That's the direct answer to your question. I'm watching recent changes and looking for blatant vandalism. That doesn't involve a lot of research into the "editor's" contribs and behavior. If you think that such in-depth research is important, I'd be interested in your thoughts.

Proposed deletion of Wabigama

The article Wabigama has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable club with non-notable founders

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 17:20, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly do not know to what you refer. Please refrain from any contact with me. If you decide to open another ANI, please allow someone else to notify me or request that they do. I have not lodged a formal complaint against you for your behaviour, nor draw much attention to it, but it would appear that the filing of the ANI was in bad faith, considering the abuse you have repeated heaped on me contemporaneously. I usual seek sanctions only on the most egregious offenders. You are beneath my contempt and unworthy of any further dignifying. Please move on and find something more constructive to do. If questions on Marxism make you so butt-sore, please quit reading the stale comments. It almost seems like masochistic behaviour.

Malaysia–Ukraine relations‎

From User:Ikip

How do you decide if Malaysia–Ukraine relations‎ should be a redirect to Malaysia relations or Ukraine relations? Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 05:02, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is arbitrary, usually the first name in the title. We discussed this before at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject International relations/Bilateral relations task force and we were never able to come to a conclusion or answer. Most of the articles are redirected, merged, or deleted so...I guess we will never have an answer.

About reverting userpages

Hey Who then was a gentleman, when you revert an edit to a userpage that is obviously not vandalism but a good faith attempt to communicate which has been inadvertently posted to the userpage in error instead of the user talk, as you did here, please consider copying the message to the talk page for the user. In this case we have a person who is not experienced with Wikipedia and who is an unhappy BLP subject feeling alienated and struggling to figure Wikipedia out and it would be a shame to see such a person even further disaffected because they inadvertently posted their request for help to a userpage instead of a talk page and received no response because it was reverted rather than moved to the correct place. Just a suggestion. Regards, Sarah 12:21, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He ws a ranting individual, I didn't feel that needed to be on a User page. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 17:55, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What? "He" wasn't a ranting individual but a blp subject who was trying to ask for help and advice regarding her biography. Of course it didn't need to be on the userpage - she obviously placed it there by mistake as she's not a Wikipedian and doesn't understand how Wikipedia works and was trying to ask for help from someone who had gone out of his way to help her a couple of years ago. Sarah 03:54, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't understand why you felt that was a ranting post. Did you actually read what she wrote before reverting her? "Dear Alan, You were once very helpful to me with some entries I made, back in 2006. Might you be available to help again? Kind regards Barbara Biggs". That's not a rant, but a BLP subject asking for help and advice from someone who had previously shown her some kindness and inadvertently posting it to his userpage instead of his user talk because she's not a Wikipedian and not familiar with this website. I thought when I left the above post that you had made a mistake in reverting rather than moving and perhaps just needed a prompt but your reply seems to reveal a very bitey failure to AGF of people who don't understand Wikipedia. Sarah 04:04, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jacob Faust

JACOB FAUST was a beloved musician, artist, performer, ETC and mostly, an invaluable friend. To harm Jacob Faust by removing FAUSTBOOK from Wikipedia is simply atrocious - if you want notability, how's this for starters: the San Diego CityBeat ran a front-cover article and follow-up articles on Jacob's untimely death at the hands of the San Diego Police Department, who has since lost a court case over Jacob's innocence. The entire city of San Diego, California (and abroad) knew about this murder from watching every news channel, reading about it in the San Diego Union Tribune and virtually every other printed and online source. While not everything always makes it to Wiki-deemed respectable websites, you can read about his death in CityBeat here (and many other places): http://www.sdcitybeat.com/article.php?id=3147 and the Tribune here: http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20050405/news_1m5fake.html

To rob Jacob of the film he spent over 5 years making, and of which is distributed internationally by Vanguard Cinema (go ahead and call Freyr Thor, the president and CEO, if you want proof) is both cruel and heartless. "Faustbook" should never be deleted. It is already atrocious that Jacob's Wiki page wasn't excepted in the first place.

Sanctions

I was not threatening sanctions because he disagreed with my opinion or the opinion of the clear consensus in the discussion. Disagreeing is one thing, but engaging in blatant violations of "no personal attacks" and "BLP" is quite another matter. The former in no way requires the latter. --Vassyana (talk) 19:41, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A block or sanction would be preventative, not punitive, unless the editor in question agreed to refrain from such comments. The BLP violation is blatant. If those comments were added to the mainspace article, they would be reverted and would likely spur warnings about heeding the BLP policy. BLP applies across all namespaces. What is a BLP vio in mainspace is still a BLP vio if expressed on a talk page or Wikipedia: space noticeboard. --Vassyana (talk) 19:48, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mandalism

Yeah, but it would be a quick AfD, there was a discussion (may still be up) at WT:CSD regarding these kind of articles (i.e. neos/dic-defs). IMO, db-g2 would not be appropriate, as it is clearly a good faith edit by a new user, to add to Wikipedia. It's not testing out the functionality of Wikipedia.

Edit filter

Hello, you may have recently encountered some problems from the Edit Filter; a regex in one of the filters I wrote was not working properly, and inadvertently tagged several of your edits as vandalism. It may have also removed your autoconfirmed status. I wanted to let you know that the filter has been disabled, and all actions taken by the filter should have been reverted. If you are still experiencing difficulty editing, please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks, and I'm very sorry for the mixup. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 19:21, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I completely understand - I thought I'd tested the filter well, but obviously I hadn't. I am working on improving the filter now, and when it is reenabled (if I'm confident it won't mess up again), it will not have any advanced actions enabled. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 19:30, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it should have been - I reverted all the actions the filter took since I added the bad regex. If not, I can always give you the confirmed flag manually. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 19:36, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good faith and nastiness

In regards to your comment here to UG, I found some irony in the way you worded this. Just as there is no need to attack good-faith reporters there's also no need to attack good-faith editors. In this case, I do not think the reporting was done in good faith as it was initiated by simply tagging ALL redirects (many which were rejected and obviously useful, showing no personal review of). It's my belief that after I complained about this, Ryulong did improve by looking at them first. Even so, the case is that all are still being tagged with a lack of detail as to the objection. When implausibility is argued it makes sense to allow someone an opportunity to explain what they thought was plausible at the time of creation, since different people notice different connections. I offered to go through this process with him and the other editors, so I would say UG was simply pointing out the nastiness of the report in the first place.

Flemish/Dutch

I'm sorry, I mistook you for somebody else. Please accept my apologies. I should have assumed good faith. Concerning my edit: the official language of Flanders is Dutch, not Flemish. See it like "American" and "English". That explains why I changed it. --Roofbird (talk) 09:53, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please just check other articles such as Belgium or Dutch language; you will see that the official language of Flanders is Dutch, not "Flemish". Please do so instead of relying on your niece only. --Roofbird (talk) 08:13, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so I'm on a crusade and you blindly follow your niece. Did it ever occur to you that you could be wrong? Just look around a little bit (as I asked you too), and I promise you'll immediately know the official language of northern Belgium is Dutch. By the way; you changed Dutch to Flemish. That means you should come up with a reliable reference (state, university...) that claims that "Flemish" is an official language (not me for proving your edit doesn't make sense). If I'm on a "crusade", it is to correct mistakes you (bad faith) or others (mostly with good faith) have made in the past. --Roofbird (talk) 08:39, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ANI Bugs

His contributions caused disruption to the project. While I personally dont object to humor, Wikipedia is not the place for it. I'm sure you understand. Sephiroth storm (talk) 08:16, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

With respect, I think a ANI discussion, RD discussion of those lengths seems to be an indicator of a problem. Also consider that several editors agreed that his edits were inappropriate, not to a level worth censure, but certainly worthy of warning. Place yourself in the place of a new contributor, who is pointed to the help desk. The first answer they get is one that appears to be sarcastic in nature. What will they think about the project?

Adrenalin

In reference to Adrenalin (band), it seems that there are 2 by this name, Adrenalin (American band) and Adrenalin (Turkish band). Adrenalin (band) orginally was the article for the American band, but it was moved because there is a second one. Both are referred to on Adrenalin (disambiguation), so it seems appropriate that it should redirect there. I do not wish to engage in edit warring, but would like your opinion on the matter.

Emerson Elementary page

Why are you taking away the article and simply redirecting to a list? I don't understand. I cannot see in what way it is failing to meet the article requirements. There are links and attributes aplenty. Please see my talk page for more information! Gjulp (talk) 16:57, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It does indeed have some alumni of note- is an olympic medalist enough to matter? How about partnership with the Oakland Raiders, who donated $500.00 per touchdown last year? There are quite a few things that I could write, but was waiting for others to note the existance of the page so they could add it themselves. Would the addition of the olympic medalist be enough for me to resurrect it? I am wary of so doing now. I understand enough not to continue the 'comparison' argument, but I still believe without question that the Emerson page, even without addition, is far superior to other elementary pages which exist. Thanks! Gjulp (talk) 16:31, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Point of View.

It is not your responsibility to concern yourself with "the good of Germany". If an official of the German government wants to contact an official of Wikipedia and asks them to take down information they find not in their best interests, they can do so. In the meantime, your actions are vandalism. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 23:51, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

I do not see why someone on Wikipedia should or should not tell me what I can and I can not do for my country Germany. I do not tell you what you can or can not do about your country so please don't tell me what I can and can not do. It is not vandalism when you are defending your country. If you like to chat some more about this different point of view, please contact me on my wikipedia page. THanks for your time and have a great day.

I see how it is.

You go to a lot of people pages. You say, "Well this will be block, delete, and etc." Then you and that person get in a pissing fighting. Your kind of people helped ruine Wikipedia. If you keep your hands out of everyone business, maybe everyone would like to come up with better work if they did not have to worry about getting it delete by you. I have record all your information. The next time you threated me, I am going to the head of Wikipedia to have you block period.

Thanks you for your note. As you may not be aware, as per WikiProject Aircraft all aircraft manufacturers who have designs flying are inherently notable.

If you want challenge the general notability of aircraft manufacturers I would suggest the best place for that would be Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft.

I am relatively new at editing. Are you referring to your talk page neededing sources, which I failed to put in.

If not, how does WarriorBoy get away with being a single puropose editor? The only sources he cites are his own web site, but the sources I put in are Los Angeles Times, Other Major Newspapers, Federal Court Papers, etc.
Each time he deletes everything I write, I add more sources, but there is a point at which the sources are becoming a bigger part of my edit than the few sentences I started out with.
- What should I do?

Thank you for your help.

Request for Assistance: How to make Sockpuppetry Accusation, Major Fraud at Wikipedia, just like in the Federal Conviciotns using the same methods

Sockpuppetry Accusation, Major Fraud at Wikipedia, just like in the Federal Conviciotns using the same methods

I have seen enough, as of this, - [4] –, which when coupled with the massive other edits by WarriorBoy85, all overtly NN ADVERTs, all NRS, and all COI and POV, to make the following accusations.

WarriorBoy85 is clearly trying to defraud people who read Wikipedia into thinking Allied Artists International successor to Kimball Dean Richards' company Allied Artists Records (by WarriorBoy85s own edits here).

I accuse WP:WarriorBoy85 and WP:TechnicalExpertise of being Sockpuppets for Kimball Dean Richards. I dont care about his overt legal threats, or his history of Solicitation for Murder here [5].

Kimball Dean Richards is owner of Allied Artists Records according to here[6], here[7], here[8], also here [9].

Kim Richards, CEO of Allied Artists International, by WarriorBoy85’s own original edit of his side bar, is one and the same as Kimball Dean Richards, who was named, indicted, and convicted of Major Fraud using these names and associated names.

ALL of the HUNDREDS of Wikipedia entries are nothing more than ADVERTising for Allied Artists International and its "artists" should be deleted on NN, and NRS, COI, POV, as well as SP.

All of the HUNDREDS of entries, such as “artists” web sites, and redirects, done by WarriorBoy85 and TechnicalExpert should be undone by high ranking Admins, and let the rest of us low level folks get back to our far more simple editing work.ChinaUpdater (talk) 17:30, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tony winward's articles

Any chance you can db these unsourced sub-stubs about non-notable people as you encounter them? Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 20:59, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It seems he is following the pattern in List of veterans of World War I who died in 2006 and other related article's. I have to say i'm not particularly adverse to them being created - at least a few have a decent claim to notability as "The last veteran for side X in the war". They also do not count as BLP article's as their subjects deceased so removing them as such won't do. While it is rather unusual, the article's are actually mostly sourced. The problem is that their sources are located in the parent document from which they are derived - if anything they should be moved to the small articles.

If anything, i don't think these should go trough CSD. Perhaps a class AFD could be considered, but seeing most actually have a source (Which is unusual enough as is for stubs), including a notability claim, i wonder if it is really worth the hassle. Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 21:06, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, i honestly don't mind seeing them removed, as your right that being a veteran is nothing encyclopedic on its own. But having been chided by DGG for tagging this article a minute after creation so it has a chance to be improved, i assume im much more lenient \ inclusionist with my tags.

Black Field

Per the discussions in June at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Black Field I had the film userfied to me. At that point it had not yet been released, but editors at the AfD granted that the film might gain notability once it had finally been released. Well... it has finally been released and is getting some decent coverage: Real West, The Province, Northern Stars, Uptown, eFilm Critic... among others. So, I have done some additional work to the article and wish your blessing to return it to mainspace. Please review it at User:MichaelQSchmidt/workspace/Black Field and advise.

Blocked for 12 hours for taunting

Baiting and taunting behaviours are a clear violation of WP:CIVIL. The "ha ha ha" posts here and here, and your responses when challenged about them here, here, here, and here did nothing to clarify that you understand the issue or are going to cease the abusive behavior.

The particular comment you made a couple of days ago that provoked this round, here yesterday on ANI, referring to CoM, Malleus, and Giano as abusive drama-mongerers, was an inappropriate personal attack as well.

Even given a presumption that the warnings that CoM and Malleus made on your page were poorly done and in bad taste, they were responding to a legitimate grievance. They were not in bad faith. Your behavior in the diff from yesterday on ANI was drama inducing and escalation of the incident rather than a calm discussion of it or an effort to constructively resolve it.

We cannot have editors ganging up on each other in cliques and throwing abuse and expletives around. We expect all editors to behave like adults and treat each other with respect and dignity, even if we disagree greatly.
