User talk:Bpeps/archive2

April 2008 and ongoing

WP:EAR
Glad to pitch in. I and a few others had been pretty good about keeping the page archived, but it seems to have gotten backlogged during a wikibreak. I would say that you are probably good to boldly update the FAQ. I would suggest go ahead and update it with what you see that it needs, and then we can adjust it if anyone disagrees.

 * Looking forward to seeing your revision. And thanks for the new sparkly for my user page. Pastordavid (talk) 18:08, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Invitation to comment on article naming you
I have decided to write, in my own good time, an article about certain "recent experiences" related to Wikipedia, the nature of which are, or should be, well known to you. This article shall name you, under your moniker, "Bpeps."

In the interest of fairness, I shall provide you with a copy of this article, prior to publication, for the purpose of feedback, provided: that you disclose, to me, your true name (I remind you that my true name is known to you). You might wish to do this through a "non-public" channel; if so, then e-mail me and I will send you my mailing address. You might also wish to request that I keep your true name confidential; if so, then I shall honor that request. I shall consider the fact of your "non-response" to this invitation as subject for "fair comment" in the article. Ldemery (talk) 18:46, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

re Tag to death
This is a good point, but what do you suggest I do. the scenario is that the user won't engage in dialogue, just deletes or "tags" my posts with message boxes. what's the best course of action for someone who keeps deleting posts or tagging incorrectly? To Javan - a biblical ethnological term to figure out who the ancient greeks were...I included a section on the genetics of who the ancient greeks are as best we can determine today...and see how it meshes up with the biblical/ancient worldview. what do you do when someone tags this with a "synthesis" tag but hasn't actually read the original article that was "synthesized"? Is there someway to bring this into a context with a third-party mediator to moderate over a dialogue between us? talk has been difficult to talk with one to one. thanks Hkp-avniel (talk) 07:27, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * (posted this to my page first by accident) advice much appreciated...and will continue to do so...but my perception is that there is an inter-personal conflict that began on Sons of Noah and has carried over to Javan. if you can help us find an experienced third-party mediator to help engage myself and User:Til Eulenspiegel (assuming he will come to the table for "peace talks") in a three-way dialogue I would appreciate that. It is less about content at this point from my point of view. regards Hkp-avniel (talk) 07:49, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Robert Rock
Hi there. Haven't really had chance to sort through the sources except to note that there are quite a few of them... 1300 Google News Hits but mostly behind paywalls (and I don't like golf enough to get my credit card out), one of the more significant free ones looks like this one from Sporting Life. There are also 4 pages of hits for him on the BBC website. Best, Iain99Balderdash and piffle 21:32, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Assistance Requests
Hi, thanks for writing on my talk page. I'm not looking for someone to overrule a consensus decision. I'm trying to get a certain admin to stop following me around wikipedia, stop accusing me of being everyone's sock puppet, stop accusing me of being a paid shill, and stop being abusive. Who do I go to for help with this? Camera123456 (talk) 23:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks re:Monks Walk School "facts"
Hey - thanks for clearing that section. I never have the guts to do things like that as I always think another editor close to the article will have a hissy fit at me! Howie &#9742;  17:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Your right it wasn't my intention to start an edit war but I have 17 separate spurces all "verifing" different dates. So therefore all must be disregarded. unsigned and added manually - 00:44, 12 April 2008

RFA thanks
Thanks for your support in my RFA, that didn't quite make it and ended at 120/47/13. There was a ton of great advice there, that I'm going to go on. Maybe someday. If not, there are articles to write! Thanks for your support. Lawrence §  t / e  18:06, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of companies of Pakistan (2nd nomination)
Just letting you know that I speedy closed this AfD. It's usually considered bad form to open a new AfD on the same article right after the previous discussion is closed. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 21:16, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That's okay. If you wanted to rename it, all you had to do was make a request for pagemove. I'm assuming good faith on your part, and just giving you a friendly reminder so that others don't think you're trying to disrupt the project. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 21:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * What I meant was, I speedy closed the AfD and told you why I speedy closed it. That way, you wouldn't end up making the same (fairly easy) mistake again. Relisting an article for AfD so soon after its last AfD closed can be considered disruptive, and I didn't want anyone to accuse you of disruption, since that's probably not your intent.

Jamie Carragher
Hello, the link you posted to justify changing Jamie Carragher's appearances and goals total (from the Liverpool website) has totals that include non-league matches, such as the FA Cup, etc. The policy for player pages is to include only domestic league games, and therefore that number is too high. According to his BBC's profile, he has 357 appearances and 3 goals, thus justifying the numbers in the article. I just thought you should know. Happy editing, Vincent Valentine 02:01, 18 April 2008 (UTC)


 * No worries, I make mistakes all the time. Best, Vincent Valentine 02:11, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

ANI Commentary
Could we get some clarification regarding what you posted on ANI? Thanks.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 03:02, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, me and 2 others are wondering what is the problem about what we are disscussing.-- RyRy5 ( talk ) 03:19, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Didn't honestly seem like bullying to me. The editor seemed frustrated that the hoax page made its way on Wikipedia and was unaware that his blanking was the incorrect method to request deletion.  He then messages Ryan letting him know that he was attempting to remove the content because it was an obvious hoax.  He was also trying to apply the GameFAQs rules to this site, which is a silly thing to do considering we have our own set of policies/guidelines.  Ultimately the editor seemed a tad abrasive but was trying to make sure that a GameFAQs troll didn't end up having a piece of vandalism exist on Wikipedia.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk)  03:23, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

User:Dajjal02‎'s edits
Hi. I think you may have been assuming a bit too much of good faith when dealing with User:Dajjal02‎'s edits on Siam and other Thai history-related articles. From what I gather, the user was pushing for an unsourced unilateral non-neutral point of view. --Paul_012 (talk) 20:08, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
