Soviet Intervention in Afghanistan edits
I was the person who made the edits to this article yesterday without signing in. I wasn't aware of the IP/sign-in rule. Aside from that, maybe it's time for Wikipedia admins to establish guidelines for appropriate, valid footnoting of material included in articles. I think the issue in this article is the credibility of the references cited. Please see my replies to Scythian1 on the discussion page. Thanks.

 * Mr. Leivick:


 * This latest revision to the Afghanistan-Soviet article (Raoulduke's) should interest you. Please note that Urban's study is one of the best known and most respected analyses of the war to date.

 * I am not really interested in settling this dispute, as it is out of my area of expertise. All I did was protect the page to stop edit warring and asked you to discuss your edits rather than revert. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 03:44, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, but I think you are barking up the wrong tree. If you look at the article's discussion page, you will see clearly that it is a certain group of people who are unwilling to seriously discuss referencing issues. They have turned the article in a farce, really. Wikipedia social sciences articles are not going to get far unless admins start to enforce standards of footnoting.

Muscle cars imgs
Hi Daniel, thank you for trying to improve the image/text relevance. However, I think the edit is confusing, and loses more cohesion than it gains. E.g. the position of the Hudson image now looks as though it's intended as an illustration of the Oldsmobile named in the heading, whereas its previous position was deliberately chosen to avoid that confusion; the Ford Thunderbolt image is now far adrift of the "turn-key drag racers" section to which, as is evident from its caption, it closely relates, etc. And visually the way the new edit scatters the images seems to be a retrograde step from the clarity of the previous stack. (Also the Rambler now overlaps the text in my browser.) I'm going to revert the edit and make a different change that I hope will help to address your concern. Thanks, Writegeist (talk) 17:47, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi there - I see you recently deleted an article with which I was involved. I'd just like to discuss this with you a little. I understand your reason of it being "Blatent Advertising" - but I created the article in good faith. After coming looking for more information, I created it as an encyclopaedic stub, hoping others would add more information and if you were to check the previous revisions you would see that was the case. Just a couple of days earlier another user tagged it for requiring additions such as more categorisation, tasks I completed in order to improve the article.

It's true that another contributor did drastically reword the article, and I fully agree it read like an advert. I wasnt in favour of the edit, but wasn't sure about reverting it, so ignored it - perhaps this was a mistake.

My only question is that although in it's last form it appeared like advertising, given that was a result of an edit, and it could easily be restored to a more encyclopaedic form, is it really necessary to delete it altogether, rather than just reverting the offending edit? It's not intrinsically a bad article, and could be a perfectly useful contribution. Thanks a lot for your thoughts. VWOzone (Talk) 18:10, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You are right, I missed the fact that it was turned into advertising from a decent version. I will restore the page.  I do however think there might be some notability concerns. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 08:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

User talk:I am a jedi
An indef. block is rather harsh here. Just so you know, he has requested unblock, and assuming he agrees not to edit war anymore, I plan to unblock him. I saw the edit summary of his first edit back, and I agree, not acceptable, nor indicative that he's going to contribute constructively, however, as I said, indef. is far to extreme at this point in time. - Rjd0060 (talk) 23:07, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, if he agrees to stop edit warring, I see no reason not to unblock him. In retrospect the block should have been more like a week, but unless he agrees to change his behavior, I see no reason to shorten the block. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 01:45, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

So what do you make of the removal of all that info by User:JoshLevine? I smell something fishy, but can't place exactly what. The edit history shows very little contributions. I won't revert again until tomorrow sometime, as I have a tendency to violate 3RR without paying attention. Justinm1978 (talk) 06:29, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I counted it up, and he's hit the 3RR threshold. I made my second revert, but won't touch again for at least 24 hours.  If he reverts this time, I'll take it to WP:3RR because that'll definitely be over the line. Justinm1978 (talk) 06:36, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Seems fishy to me too. One of the socks from the Mctrain case did exactly the same thinge, along the lines of "if you wont play by my rules I am taking my ball and going home."  This new user has been warned and if they revert again they will be blocked. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 07:03, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I have blocked JoshLevine as an obvious sock of the Mctrain group as he edited Barbaro family, reinserting the deleted Mctrain content and again trying to claim that it is 100% accurate.  In all honestly can't tell what is going on.  It is clear however that there are serious sock puppet issues.  Let me know if anything comes up. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 03:43, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Please block user Colliver55 for undo edits
Daniel Leivick, please review this Great Power history link, user Colliver55 is violating Wikipedia's policy, I created a talk discussions page to consenus and user "Colliver55" won't answer, he is just undoing edits for no reason. Please block this use please. I would like to try to resolve the issue on a consenus but people can not act like this if they do not want to communicate but undo with nothing to say. 

Please see the discussion at the bottom where it says "Russia is a Superpower not a great power". I have discussions topic and user Colliver55 will not discuss anything, please block him until he agrees to talk about the issue. Thanks --24.205.234.250 (talk) 22:24, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * From what I can see this is a content dispute. You have both violated WP:3RR many times over, being in the right doesn't give you a pass on the 3RR.  I have protected the page from editing for three days.  Hopefully you can use this time to discuss the edits in question on the talk page.  In the future you can report users who violate 3RR at WP:AN/3RR although in this case it is likely that both of you would be blocked if this was reported. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 22:29, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Daniel Leivick, I would firstly like to say I have fully discussed and given my reasons for reverting the edits made by Versace 11 and the ISP address given above. The use of these sources has been distorted to give basis for conclusions the editors themselves and no-one else has made. Using sensationalist articles as a reference source is hardly reliable and you could probably find an article of dubious quality supporting any assertion you wish to make. I believe the statement 'Russia is also referred to a superpower' is little more than propaganda and makes a mokery of Wikipedia. The discussion page on Great Power article has already had an argument about Russia as a superpower, and the consensus was that Russia was a Great Power, not a Superpower. Thankyou. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Colliver55 (talk • contribs) 22:35, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * As an admin I don't get any special say. Please continue discussion on the talk page.  If you have reached an impass, take a look at WP:DR for further steps or ask me to help mediate the issue, although I might not be the best choice as my experience in that field is limited. --Daniel J.

speedy deletion of Standee
hi there...you performed a speedy deletion of Standee 02:36, 11 June 2008 Daniel J. Leivick (Talk | contribs) deleted "Standee" ‎ (G11: Blatant advertising) I don't have the page in front of me anymore (duh), but I'm pretty sure the version I last edited was not advertising at all, much less blatant. As I recall, it was a stub explaining that a theatrical movie standee is a cardboard cutout device used to promote movies (frequently seen in the lobbies of movie theatres). Was an error made here? Is my recollection completely off?

Thanks! jhawkinson (talk) 05:23, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well there term standee is apparently a trademark of one company that make the these cutouts. I imagine that the actual objects probably have some other name.  If I am wrong than we should have an article.  Let me know. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 07:20, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I see now the line you're referring to in the google cache. I don't think it invalidates the remaining part of the article. Specifically, WP:SD's G11 says "Note that simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion." In any case, though, I'm not aware of another name for these items, so yes, could please restore the article? The word "standee" seems to be used universally for them, and I haven't investigated the trademark claim. Thank you. jhawkinson (talk) 19:13, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks like another name for them is "cardboard stand up." Although it appears that Standee is a more commonly used name. I will restore the article and you can decide where to go from there. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 19:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Commando Krav Maga Page
Dear Mr. Leivick,

Please advise on how I would get the Commando Krav Maga page re-instated. The discipline is fairly new (in name) and referenced sources primarily come from martial arts publications such as Black Belt, Inside Kung-Fu, BUDO and Martial Arts Illustrated. All comments considered to be unnecessary advertising or biased will be removed so that statements will stay as factual information. I have noticed that the Krav Maga page contains information that is only backed up by references to their websites. If that is the case, can I also do the same? I appreciate your time.

Combatsurvival (talk) 17:36, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You are welcome to recreate the page. Speedy deleted pages can be recreated without discussion, as long as there is a good faith effort to make it into an encyclopedia article.  Good luck and let me know if you need any help. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 18:49, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

List of Farmer's Markets in the United Kingdom
Apparently you deleted this - any reason why?

This was a resource for people wanting to know where they could buy produce fresh from the grower and I can't think of any reason that you would want to deny anybody that information.

One last pharaoh
Hello.

I would like to talk about a disruptive user called One last pharaoh. He recently started to block my and Vladimir Historian's edits in BMP-1 article that are Egypt related. Our edits are based on a book by Steven Zaloga who is a well known expert on military technology (we even have a scan from the book to prove it).

We tried to settle this on our own via the article's discussion page but the said user is basically questioning Zaloga's book without citing any kind of sources (therefore original research) and at the same time he keeps on reverting our edits and threatens us with the 3RR.

I know that you dealt with him before and therefore I would like to ask you to help us since you're an administrator and you can settle this once and for all.

Regards. - SuperTank17 (talk) 07:26, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks like it is settled (am I right?). The article currently uses the Zaloga reference properly stating the number of Syrian and Egyptian BMPs captured or destroyed.  I will be watching and will make sure that One last pharaoh respects the consensus.  Don't hesitate to ask for help in the future. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 08:56, 17 June 2008 (UTC)


 * It is not settled. What One last pharaoh did this time was change the information contained by changing the "The Israelis destroyed or captured 40 to 60 Egyptian BMPs and about 50 to 60 Syrian BMPs." (like Zaloga written in his book) to "Egypt lost 40-60 BMP-1 IFVs and Syria lost 50-60 BMP-1 IFVs". This is not the same as it does not include the information about Israelis capturing some the mentioned vehicles. He than argued in the talk page making a few statements (without citing any kind of references) which were supposed to prove that Israeli forces couldn't capture any Arab vehicles. Regards. - SuperTank17 (talk) 09:23, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I see this and have commented on the talk page. However as an admin there is not much more I can do in a content dispute.  I don't see pharaoh's actions as clear enough disruptive behavior for me to make a unilateral block.  If you want you could make an RfC which I would support in reference to pharaoh's history of nationalistic edits or if you think I am being too weak you can take it to WP:ANI where another admin might take action.


 * It's not like I want him/her banned. Now it turns out that it was just a plain misunderstanding on his/her part. Some of his/her edits are quite valuable like the ones in T-62 article where he supplied the article with a lot of information about the Egyptian T-62 variants. Also it's better if he just learns why he's wrong. Anyway, thanks for your support. Regards. - SuperTank17 (talk) 20:15, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah looks like a misunderstanding due to English comprehension. I think it is taken care of now. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 21:37, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

The amount of travel is verified in all sorts of publications including publication of his book. Also mentioned in the NY Times, and on MSNBC. With all respect, you come across rather arrogant seeming to know who is writing entries on the site. There should be no place for name calling on the site or false accusations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.211.223.181 (talk) 01:00, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It is not a false accusation, I am not stupid. Your first edit was changing a talk page entry made by the subject of the article (obvious due to user name).  You changed it to make it look as if he did not write the article, why would anyone else do this.  If you can provide a link to the NY Times or MSNBC confirming the travel claim then it can be added.  However using claims made by the subject is not going to work.   --Daniel J.

Muscle cars
Your cpyed of my awkward "Muscle cars were built for drag racing; also for street use; also for both" to the much smoother "Muscle cars were built for street use and in some cases racing" makes for a simpler read but loses the deliberate distinctions contained in the original: some muscle cars were made for racing, some for the street, and some for both. Perhaps you can reword again to preserve the flow of your improvement at the same time as preserving the distinctions? BTW I agree re. the '60s/'70s point and SA/UK order. Thank you. Writegeist (talk) 06:20, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I see what you mean. I was originally thinking about saying "and/or" but that isn't really encyclopedic writing.  Here is the thing though, to my knowledge, no real muscle cars were built entirely for racing, all were street legal, some were made with the intention of being used mainly on the track. How about; "While muscle cars were intended at least partly for street use, many were designed to be used in various types of racing." how does that sound? Maybe still a little awkward. As a side note, in the future, this can probably be discussed on the Muscle car talk page, where everyone can have a say.  Good working with you. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 07:28, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Didn't we have this exact discussion a month ago? I saw a rough consensus to merge, you undid the merger (not a problem) and now it looks like someone else has redone the merger.  I would suggest discussing it with them.  A merge result from AfD doesn't have that much weight, consensus can easily change. Although if you want my opinion, the Trellium D is better of as part of the episode article.    --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 23:23, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Whatever. I don't know if we had the same discussion, but whatever, it's do as you want rather than consensus, in other words.  --Blechnic (talk) 03:52, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No, you and I both have to follow consensus and we did have this exact converstion, it is in my second archive. As I said before I thought consensus was to merge during the AfD, maybe I was wrong.  AfD debates decide whether to delete article or not.  They do not have any real special weight in merge discussions.  It still looks to me that consensus is to merge, but maybe I am wrong.  Why don't you discuss with the people that merged the article, or bring it up the article talk page? --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 04:23, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

St Margaret's C. of E. High School Edit
Hi there Daniel, I was just wondering why you deleted the addition of John Owen Foulkes' MBE. I go to the school and I was pleased to see that the head of the Sixth Form (where I will be going next year) had been awarded for all of his hard work.

Please give me a reason, thanks.
 * Well to be honest, I deleted it as a likely vanity/hoax addition after I saw taht you added yourself to 1992. It looks like it is probably ok to add, feel free to readd it if you would like.  To avoid this problem in the future, you should cite it with a reliable source in the proper reference format, to learn how to do this see WP:CITE. --Daniel J.

 * I don't know how you can allege citation and then post only that material which suits you from those sources. Your citations are suspect - I have examined them and they are biased, out of date (cf. taqiyya), and usually do not say what you claim they say! Not only that, but you refuse to discuss this issue on the talk page and you left a 1-warning ban threat on my talk page without signing or discussion. em zilch (talk) 04:44, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I was warning the editor about a different set of edits, involving the description of Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah in the second paragraph which was clearly inappropriate. To be honest this is very far from my area of expertise so I would prefer not to get much more deeply involved.  I would suggest discussing this with the admin who protected the page.  It is possible that they may revert the IP user while the page is fully protected.  Beyond that I would suggest trying to discuss this on the Druze talk page.  Let me know if you need any more help. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 23:51, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * O lol, no, I don't want it reverted, I want to let you know the user you warned did it again. At this point, it's probably irrelevant because he's coughed up a user account and might consider writing on the talk page. (One small step at a time, right?) But thanks anyway, haha. em zilch (talk) 17:29, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

One last pharaoh... again...
Hello.

Recently out "favorite" user One last pharaoh has started to fight again. If want the details check Talk:List of main battle tanks by generation.

In short he states that he's friendly when he's surely not, he again has problems with the language and has "warned" me and says that I'm lucky that he hasn't "reported" me yet. I don't know for what those warnings are? For trying to explain to him what he does wrong and what he should do for both his and our benefit?

Either way your assistance would be greatly appreciated (that is if you have time and energy).

Regards. - SuperTank17 (talk) 21:40, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it looks like you two don't get along at all, but it does look like you came up with a good solution.  First don't worry about the warnings they are just empty threats. Onelastpharoah's English is not very good and I think this leads to many of his problems here.  I completely understand how he aggravates you, but my best advise is to focus on the content and not on the editor, don't worry about his grammar, word choice and spelling and try to focus on coming to an agreement.  The last time I dealt with him it was difficult, but in the end we came to an understanding.  I do see a problem in pharoah's general editing pattern and have warned him about in the past, but at this point I don't see anything that is really actionable.  You are always welcome to come to me for help if this continues to be a problem and of course if you think I am wrong about not taking action, you can take this sort of thing to WP:ANI.  Regards and keep up the good editing. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 00:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
