War of the Pacific and Tacna Region
User:Bdean1963 has refused to answer any call to discuss the dispute in the "Talk Page" in both articles. What should I do? I believe that after exposing my case and not hearing anything from the other party involved, I have already done more than enough to solve this dispute.

Still, another user is asking for a ban against my person, motivated by personal and ideological differences, clearly supporting User:Bdean1963 position in this dispute. Once the protection is lifted, I believe I have the right to revert it to its original estate.

Since you are the person that Protected the article after I request it, I would appreciate any sort of advice from your part, and if I'm doing the right thing. Messhermit 14:06, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Why I blank the Slow Down Baby page...
None of the information is true. The news about it and the cover are fake. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Los besos (talk • contribs) 23:10, 1 February 2007 (UTC).
 * The article will (most likely) be deleted fairly soon, as its AfD is running along just fine. There's no need to blank the page. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 00:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Could you set the protection to expire in a few days? I think the Request for Protection was a bit hasty in the first place.  The slight increase in vandalism should decrease within the next few days, once everyone learns of the release date for the seventh book. John Reaves (talk) 22:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

User:Ddstretch
Many thanks for semi-protecting my user page. I hope it will deter somewhat the increasing incidents of vandalism in, I suspect, retaliation for me reverting vandalism and playting a part in reporting the vandals. DDStretch   (talk)  00:08, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Protection of Stomakhin article
It is extremly unfair. You have protected version of Biophys. And it is discrimination of me. Biophys deleted and reverted all texts done not only by me, but by administrators Mikkalai, Alex Bakharev. So it is just simply protection of Biophys version. I oppose that kind of thing. I would like to ask Alex Bakharev or Mikkalai to revert the article back to their version. Vlad fedorov 04:11, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Cbrown. I created this page Here a few days ago. Someone has recommended it to be wikified. You seem like a well-established user, so any ideas on how it could be improved would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. JFBurton 13:14, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Bascially, as you have alread done, you use wik-formatting and add links to other pages. I have done some more of this and added some more cleanup tags to help show you what more to do in this edit. Cbrown1023 talk 16:22, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

A problematic film article
Hi Cbrown, there is a problem with Out & About with Brewer & Berg, which I tagged as copyvio, as this was the most obvious up-top problem, but apparently the film-maker is there and he may provide copyright permission. However the article doesn't follow policies and guidelines and I don't wish to give the person (who doesn't seem to have any experience with Wikipedia) a bad time with incomplete statements. Please take a look. Hoverfish Talk 15:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Dreamgirls (film) re-assessment
Do you think that you can reassess the Dreamgirls (film) article? I am kind of being biased, but I noticed that the difference between the B and the A rating is that the B rating has unsourced information, but the A rating has sourced information. The FA rating has gone far out and beyond the wikistandards, right? Or, do you think it would be more proper to have someone else reassess the article? <b style="color:#6495ED; font-family:georgia;">Real96</b> 00:06, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Encyclopedia Dramatica
Alright maybe we can talk this out. See I believe that the article was unfairly deleted/protected I mean sure it didn't technically have that many third party sources but for all the controversy it caused on Youtube and many site raids in general I believe it is a noteworthy article seeing as how Uncyclopedia didn't technically have any third party sources and is basically the same thing.

Decline of semi-protection on Burger King article
Just noticed that a request for semi-protection on this article was knocked back by yourself. For my future reference, what would constitute enough recent activity to justify the protection? Thanks. thewinchester 01:31, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Triple Crown Championship
Thanks for adding the semi-protection, however we had semi-protection and once it came off the unregisted users went edit crazy. When the current protection expires can we see what the activity is like and if there are still a crazy amount of edits then can a full-protection be added? Cheers. Darrenhusted 02:29, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * What would benefit from a full protection? <b style="color:green;">Cbrown1023</b> <b style="color:#002bb8; font-size:smaller;">talk</b> 20:55, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

WIthout getting in to the ins and outs of the situation there is no new information to add to this page, there is a dispute about one piece of information, and this is the source of most of the edits, even when semi-protected. There are about four Wikipedians (including myself) who are watching the page but at least once a day we have to revert edits, and there are three archives of discussion where the one edit issue has been agreed upon but a few users insist on editing the page and it is becoming a hassle to keep the page in order. A full protect would send a message that the page does not need editing further for the moment, and in fact there is little which could happen in the near future which would alter this page. In essense what I am asking is that the page be full protected for a trial period, if real life event require changes to be made then the small group of Wikipedians who currently monitor it will simply ask to edit it. I hope that a full protection will put an end to the last few weeks of editing which do nothing more than try to introduce original research in to this article. Thank you for your time Cbrown1023. Darrenhusted 01:47, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good idea, but long-term full-protetion is not allowed currently for existing articles. :( <b style="color:green;">Cbrown1023</b> <b style="color:#002bb8; font-size:smaller;">talk</b> 02:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

(in addition to the above) As an illustration there have been 250 edits to the page since the beginning of the year. Darrenhusted 02:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh well, can't do any harm to ask. Thanks for your thoughts on this matter. Darrenhusted 02:04, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Kinetoscope and spam blacklist
Hi Chris, I was wondering if you might be able to help me in this odd situation. There's been some major blatant vandalism on Kinetoscope, a featured article, where an anon IP deleted an entire section of the text. Unfortunately, I can't revert it because one of the citations is now setting off the spam blacklist, even though the link itself is legit. Is there anything you might be able to do as an admin to rectify this as speedily as possible? (I was hoping to get this article on the front page sometime soon.) Thanks, Girolamo Savonarola 11:25, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

confusion of requesting for page protection
I'm for not properly requesting unprotection, however it did it wrong. I tried to follow the instructions, which were very confusing.(And, I was guided there as well for a place to formally request for page protection(in this case, semi-protection to Bill Gates.) I've been recently watching the article for unconstuctive changes, and then I thought had a leginamate reason to do make the request, because I encounterd a pattern of vandalism to Bill Gates continue, which all started after being un-protected. I won't try to make the request again, but I only did it because the article was under repeated vandalism.--Wikipedier 22:31, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Ok, you make sense to me. Sidenote:  This WP:BLP thing seems to be rearing its head in a good deal of articles.  I'm a little confused as to how it is enforced, I mean, the admin has removed the date per BLP, but what is to keep it from being re-added once the protection ends?  And at this point, when the admin changed the version, is it a content dispute anymore?  Any thoughts?   Navou   banter  /  review me  03:44, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Not sure, but you reported to the BLP noticeboard, so they should be able to handle it. It seems like the real problem is Tommypowell...

Fine.

Could you please write that line in english in my userpage in es:Wikipedia (just below your last line in Spanish)?.

If you can, that will be a small ray of light in the darkness of the Spanish Wikipedia. My page is monitored by friends and enemies adversaries alike.

Your line in Spanish would be as follows:


 * No es posible para usted bloquear a alguien por WP:E o por acciones "off-wiki"

Thank you very much, Cbrown1023. If you need anything from an Spanish speaker, please drop me a line. Randroide 13:19, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your second line at my es:Wiki Talk Page. It is a very powerful morale booster.


 * As Ayn Rand stated in the HUAC hearings, a free man can not understand life in the Soviet Union, and he´s very lucky to be unable to understand that horror.
 * Similarly, you can not understand what´s the meaning of those two lines for the average User at es:Wikipedia. I will give you a one word brief of that meaning: Hope.

If that line of yours would finish as the only reward for all the work I did and I will do trying to uncover what´s going on in the Spanish Wikipedia, is enough reward.

Muchísimas gracias. Randroide 14:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Ben Thompson
Thank you for you message on my talk page. However, if you look you will notice that I rewrote the section in an effort to reach a consensus. User:TheEditor20 reverted this back to his unreliable, POV edit. I have reported this as 3RR. Furthermore if you look through the history of him, his previous username User:Edgovan20 and the various IPs he has used you will see that he is a habitual vandal. However I do acknowledge that perhaps my reversions were excessive. --BMT 18:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

 * OK, if you deem both edits to have POV, what would you suggest would be the next step? I tried moving the section to the talk page but the other user kept on reverting. You've said that neither are suitable so is it a section to be deleted? Where does this leave the article? --BMT 18:36, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I think that BMT's sources do not carry the same validity as those I have provided for the section. The section has merit in explaining to the reader why the character Ben Thompson is not so well known in modern times, and I think just because one user disputes it does not warrant it's removal. I appreciate that everything should be looked at from a neutral POV, and if BMT can find a reliable source for the information he provided then by all means he can add it. However, this does not mean he can remove another, arguably more prominent POV. By reliable and valid souces I mean major stories in credible published newspapers, which would not have a bias for wanting to make him appear famous (such as a website devoted to selling Ben Thompson era mechandise).--TheEditor20 17:20, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

The Article On Armenian Genocide
Hi Cbrown,

I agree with u about that possible vandalism should be hindered. However, this article is completely different from that of Turkish version. It means that this issue can be understood different ways because of languages, and English is much more broader than Turkish. This is unfair. Because I want to remove conflict between both articles, and so that Turkish thesis can be given objectively, I demand unprotection on "The Armenian Genocide" article. On the other hand, one of the administrator, Arjun01, blocked my IP as marked vandalism. In my sentences, there is no vandalism considering wikipedia policy. Therefore,I think turkish and english version of the wikipedia explanation about this issue should be the same.

Than u!

Indian cinema assessment
Hi, I saw you gave start to a Tollywood film (Simhadri) that misses some of the sections we require for start. Minutes before I gave class stub to Okkadu, which has more sections. Just to be consistent with you, should we use other standards for assessing Indian cinema? - Actually I just saw that Supernumerary gave stub to Tagore (film), so I will pull Simhadri down to stub, until we are sure what is right to do.

3RR Warning to user:Folken de Fanel
Thank you to be so insistent in writing this warning on my talk page. However I don't want it as I concider it totally undue.

First, it was the result of the personal vandetta of another contributor against me, as he reported the edit war way after everything was ended.

Second, the contributor that reported me has not been warned in any kind, while he was the one who started an edit war, as I've explained in the 3RR notice board: he had reverted me 3 times without any attempt at justifying his edits, without even reading my contributions to the talk page of the article.

Third, you say that "Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. " That's funny because that's exactly what I did. Before editing anything in the article, I explained in a very detailed way what I thought of the edits needed in the talk page. I quoted various lines from various official Wikipedia policies to back up my claims. However my edits were blindly reverted, and the 2 contributors who did it didn't even bother to read my explanations in the talk page and to answer them. And I'm the one warned, and they get nothing ?

No, no, no, I'm not going to accept to be treated like this, I have been notified, it will show in the history of my personal talk page, however as I personally concider this warning totally undue, and since no one even bothered to take into account my explanations on the 3RR notice board, I will not display it. Folken de Fanel 20:13, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Did I block you? No.  I just gave you a warning because you were one of two editors engaging in edit warring.  Which is in most cases totally unacceptable.  Futhermore, I also gave the other user a warning as well.  I'm not going to accept being treated like this either (well, acutally I am... I don't mind you asking me about this), I could have blocked you for 3RR, but didn't, I only gave you a warning.

Invitation to close AfD "David Horowitz Freedom Center"
You closed the "Discover the Networks" AfD in a manner that I've criticized (in passing, not at length and usually only by implication, and without naming you, but still...) as a "drive-by delete". In the interest of AGF I'd like to invite you to close the "David Horowitz Freedom Center" AfD.

Could you clarify reasons for the 'keep' decision, it still looks like unverifiable original research which mis-cites its sources to me! Thanks. --Davémon 15:13, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I admit my grounds are shakey - after all it's impossible to prove a negative (i.e I can't prove that there are no secondary sources for the so-called-phrase) - however no evidence emerged to forward the positive case that these sources do exist. None of the keep arguments actually addressed the issues of WP:OR, WP:V or WP:NPOV. As for the 'Keeps' themselves, 1 was made before I'd fully written out the reason (my mistake!) - so is only responding to dicdef. 1 was the original author. 1 was a claim about 'importance' (which contravenesWP:N?). Also, I don't want to finger point, but the final one of the Keeps was an anonymous users first edit - possibly a sock-puppet? So I'm not sure a consensus was actually reached as such. --Davémon 17:37, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Kiarostami
Hi Cbrown1023

Hope you are fine. Abbas Kiarostami passed GA assessment. I also made some more copyedits afterwards. For reducing the size of the article I splitted the article into two articles. The whole "cinematic style" section and "micro-digital cinema" was moved into Cinematic style of Abbas Kiarostami. The latter article is the result of copy pasting with no other changes (except for adding some more citations). Therefore I trimmed the cinematic style section in Abbas Kiarostami and I reduced the size of the article from 74 to 54 kb. I've just checked the FA assessment page and I saw an article with 64 kb size was going through with no major objection.

In summary I think the article is pretty much ready for FA candidacy. However I would like to ask you to take a look at it, particularly the citematic style section. I want to be sure that the section is still understandable and informative after the trimming process. The rest of the article has not change since the peer review (except for what GA reviewer suggested: WP:MoS etc). Thanks and have a nice weekend.Sangak 19:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * My idea is to make a joint FA nomination for Abbas Kiarostami and Cinematic style of Abbas Kiarostami. Sangak 20:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

The cinematic style part is a copy/paste of the original article which was promoted to GA. Can I label this new article as GA accordingly? There were no change besides adding one or two more citations. Thanks. Sangak 09:18, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

And as for the opposers opposing because of the nomination, I agree with them on a bad nomination. I just don't give it grounds to oppose.

Thanks for semiprotecting it. How long will the protection last? Respond here or on my talk page, either works. Steevven1 (Talk) (Contribs) (Gallery) 01:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Currently, it is set to indef, but it will eventually be removed by another admin. <b style="color:green;">Cbrown1023</b> <b style="color:#002bb8; font-size:smaller;">talk</b> 01:34, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Bonney Eberndu
Why did you close this AfD with a result of Delete? 5 Delete votes to 3 Keep votes isn't enough to show evidence of consensus; it may be a majority, but "counting heads" is not the accepted or correct method to close AfDs. I am prepared to take this to WP:DRV if necessary. Wal ton  <sup style="color:purple;">Vivat Regina!  16:30, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Pardon the butting in, but this close was entirely appropriate because we don't simply count votes. His crimes got mentioned in media, yes, as do minor crimes in every town.   There's no way to have a biography on this guy with those sources.  Friday (talk) 16:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, the sources were in the national UK media - The Times, The Guardian, the BBC. This was a high-profile case that, in a UK context, is notable. Eberndu meets the letter of WP:BIO - multiple non-trivial coverage in third-party sources independent of the subject themselves - as four separate articles, in mainstream media, were written purely about him. I appreciate that from a US or overseas perspective it may seem like a fairly minor event, but Wikipedia needs to avoid national bias. (Note: I have copied this to Friday's talk page.)

 * There is no national bias in the result, I for one receive news from all three of those daily. I was just basing it on the discussion, I find that the article looks really nice and is well sourced (after your expansion), but I was acting on the decision of the community.  If you take it to deletion review, I will ask for it to be restored. <b style="color:green;">Cbrown1023</b> <b style="color:#002bb8; font-size:smaller;">talk</b> 20:53, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I endorse the close. We do not cover every person charged with a misdemeanor offense, despite local coverage at the time. This seems like a straightforward application of our guidelines to me. Newyorkbrad 21:52, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Newsletter
You can distribute it if you want, I just wanted to do it last month to see how it's done. It's good to see that the newsletter was cleaned up these last few days. We currently have a few more FA/GAs still in the nomination phase that may pass, but if worse comes to worse, they'd just go to next month's. I won't be able to edit until about 7:00p.m. my time, so if you think it's good, go ahead and distribute. If you can, update the infobox message, as the requests have now blossomed. By the way, once I finish this Oklahoma City bombing GA, I'll work on finishing the Gladiator (2000 film) to nominate for GA. --Nehrams2020 21:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Below is a statement I find very offensive and its downright gross potty humor in my opinion. Why is this supposed administrator remarking to articles like this. I have asked in that past that he nuance his statements and you may look this up if you want direct statements. It almost makes me want to Keep this particular article just because Hoary cannot nuance and puts down the Catholic church and lets face it this is just plain discusting the way he welds his hand on WP. I cannot believe his audicity in some of his latest remarks on Ebonics and such. This needs to be taken seriously. I know he has run away many good people with great information. I cannot for the life of me understand how he can say the things he does with no oversight. This is the reason I bring this to your attention. Is there any way this can be dealt with accordingly? I wish something could be done. He is beginning personal attacks against some editors again. Artsojourner 23:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

R U Joe King, Mr Eye? Or, as an answer to your question, hmm, what's the negative equivalent of "Does a pope shit in the woods?" I get the strong impression that being listed by the "Cambridge Who's Who" depends less on the kind of merit that gets you listed by a "Who's Who" of one of the varieties that libraries bother with, and a lot more on your willingness to donate a couple of sawbucks or whatever is the going rate. -- Hoary 06:19, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
