GGWO
I am glad this page is protected but it has become obvious to me that the debate will eventually create an article that leaves it as a self promotion tool for an organization, or lacking the reasons, the people and the history why this organization is notable in the first place.

I have read many of the discussion points and I feel like I am discussing the organization with members of the group using their own terminology or lingo instead of English and common terms.

Maybe if those involved are serious they will not try to turn this into an ad about the organization and white wash the history or worse portray it in a way where it becomes a set of untruths.

If and when the editors want honest and sincere help in writing a good article they will take the input of others, untill their are other articles to be written. Tryster (talk) 02:14, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for protecting the page. I would like to have a reasonable conversation about it before we move forward. Unfortunately, I am having trouble posting to the talk page. Can you help with that?Spinkava (talk) 20:44, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I read your note and must tell you that I have intentionally tried to have a neutral view point. I have tried to read and re-read the articles to the point of trying to see a non unbias position being taken.

I have tried to make sure any statement within reason is based upon or grounded in facts that cannot only be referenced but also found in multiple sources.

When it comes to Greater Grace and those related to it, the media sources are extreme. I went out of my way to  speak to the historical significance.

I will use references to do this more so, but just as a matter of points here. GGWO when it was the bible speaks ended up in bankruptcy over a civil case that was one of the biggest in religious history. It involved the heiress of the Dalton family. Can we say "Target" bullseye?

I can load up the articles with references and known quotes.Ironically many pages that are on wikipedia used materials I wrote a decade ago for religious journals.I do not demand that material I copyrighted be marked or pulled because somebody has taken license to use it.

It is hard to see that somehow what I have written which is factual based not opinionated pieces is marked as being a conflict of interest. Maybe I being stupid here but I believe the piecen is very balanced.

Please don't use the administrative priveledge to suggest something about an article when to even the naked eye its very obvious that whoever wrote it was indeed going out of their way to write in balance as any article of this should be written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tryster (talk • contribs) 00:09, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Please do not allow there to be attacks against the greater Grace World Outreach page. I am making hard efforts to make this article balanced and not a fre for all. If you have a bias against any negatives being posted about the organization please recuse yourself from editing it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tryster (talk • contribs) 15:36, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Block
I thought your block of Eastmids2007 was rather harsh considering he had not received a final notice and the article he was editing has been deleted today. I would have thought that was enough response for the time being unless he returns and reposts the same article and/or starts spamming again. Just my 2c worth, but I am watching him! Cheers - I reply where I post. ww2censor (talk) 22:53, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * He was recreating the same page - or at least a page on a certain company - over and over, and inserting links to that page in other articles. While the block may have erred towards 'strict', I still think I was within the boundaries for blocking spammers :P Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 14:46, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Query on block
Hello. Just curious as to why you blocked. I was going to "decline block for inactive IP" as the address in question has not edited since January 19th. --Kralizec! (talk) 16:55, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I see it as the 20th? "04:01, 20 January 2008 (hist) (diff) North Andover, Massachusetts‎ (→History)"Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 17:02, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, adjusting for time zone differences, the report to WP:AIV was made over 36 hours after the IP's last edit. I take it you have a more flexible view of criteria #2?  Perhaps I should be that way, as I have always viewed super late AIV reports like this a waste of our (admin) time.  Just curious as to your view ...  --Kralizec! (talk) 17:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * More like 12 hours, I think - but I see your point. I think with an IP that constantly skirts the final warnings, like this one, having a short block makes them less likely to do it in future, as well as making future admins more likely to block at the first sign of trouble. With scripts, it takes as long to block an IP as it does to remove a report and explain to the user who made the report why it wasn't accepted! Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 17:41, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * From my EST perspective, the last edit by the IP was 23:01, 19 January 2008, and the AIV report was made at 11:44, 21 January 2008. Unless my math is off, that is 36 hours, 43 minutes between the two. --Kralizec! (talk) 17:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Can I ask a stupid question regarding this situation? How does one check the e-mail as noted in the complaint?

 * I expect one would have to contact the editor in question. Certainly I don't have the power to view it! I blocked as a sockpuppet, not for threats, you see, so I don't have to see the email, but the user still gets blocked. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 17:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, understood. From the way it was phrased, it sounded as if there were a way for admins to view e-mails, which I was skeptical of. Now I know why. Thanks. - Revolving Bugbear  18:01, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Issue with Skin/S.K.I.N. titling
Hello! I noticed you had some involvement with the previous dispute in the Skin (Japanese band) article some months ago. I wish I'd been there at the time because I've got some pretty undeniable proof of the band name that was such a big deal. JRock Revolution is the official site for the JRock Revolution festival and is at the moment the official site for the band. In their FAQ, it says:
 * "Q: Which is correct, SKIN or S.K.I.N.?
 * A: S.K.I.N."

and also on what it abbreviates:
 * "Q: What does S.K.I.N. stand for?
 * A: That information is not available. It has not even been confirmed that S.K.I.N. even stands for anything."

The link to this official FAQ is here: http://jrockrevolution.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=71&Itemid=25

I've also posted these things in the discussion section of the article, but don't expect it to get any attention since things have become dead quiet since its lock a few months ago. So, seeing that you had been involved, I hoped to get some closure on the issue, and also give some other bands or artists their name back. XD Thanks a lot for the help now and in the past, and I look forward to knowing the outcome of this. :) (Tsukiakari (talk) 02:38, 23 January 2008 (UTC))

Reverts
I'm not sure that this was correct. The logo seems like an abuse of a nonfree image, and to add nothing; and, per WP:FLAG, such use of flags in an infobox is generally deprecated. Why not join the discussion at Template talk:Infobox Musical artist instead, and save the reverts for unambiguous vandalism, which I do not think this was? Best wishes, --John (talk) 03:10, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The editor seemed to be making edits without the discussion having reached a conclusion - edits like that are counter-productive. He'd be better joining the debate too, I think! Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 22:54, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

lolcat bible
Cheers for your message on my talk page about the lolcatbible AfD result. I'm still considering my plan for merging it into the lolcat article, I have found a few more sources, but I'm thinking adding that new section to the main article, and beefing that up, then maybe splitting it off again if/when loads more sources come in, might be the best idea. The lolcat article doesn't seem too far off GA-level, so there may be something in there. But yes, either way I'm up for taking it on, once I've finished this awfully torturous essay on DAT machines for the end of this semester, I'll get down to work on it!

Semi-Protection of No
Your indefinite semi-protection of this page is against our protection policy. Pages should only be permanently (semi-)protected if there is long term abuse and I don't see this from the page history. Indeed the vandalism appears to have been one instance so protection would almost certainly be refused at RFPP. Please can you reconsider this. Spartaz Humbug! 22:13, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's a page that is frequently watchlisted - What can be said about the word has generally been said in the article. Feel free to unprotect, but I see very few legitimate additions coming out of doing so! Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 22:36, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Vadama
Sir, may I remind you of an instance, on the 17th of January, when you had blocked the I.P. address 203.101.110.2 for repeated vandalism of the article on Iyers? The user in question was also given to vandalising the page on Vadama, a sub-category of the Iyers, and after the lapse of your ban, has taken to defacing this latter page with redoubled enthusiasm. I have on numerous occasions reverted his edits, but seem to have failed in checking him. May I request you to consider further punitive measures against this known depredator? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.226.42.84 (talk) 16:33, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Wakefield Beasley & Associates
You deleted an article on Wakefield Beasley & Associates without posting discussion in the discussion section, which is a breach of Wikipedia policy, and caused a link invalidation on the Cumberland (Atlanta) article. Wakefield Beasley & Associates has been covered in AJC (in print) and obviously if you did a Google search, you'd see them covered quite a bit online: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=wakefield+Beasley+%26+Associates&btnG=Google+Search

Just because you haven't heard of them doesn't mean they don't have significance.

Issues on South Asia
There currently is an issue on the article South Asia, as for whether it should focus on geopolitical South Asia or a broader cultural definition (mainly argued against by User:MainBody, who apparently hasn't noticed that the East Asia article displays both geopolitical and cultural definitions). This issue erupted over Tibet being listed on the page and was caused by a Hong Kong public ip address. Considering you were one of the few administrators to ever write on the South Asia talk page, I am inviting you to help in this argument. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 20:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Tae Yun Kim and COL Program pages
Thank you for removing the Tae Yun Kim article. You are correct, it was created as an attack page, and attempts to change it into a legitimate source of information were resisted by users with an intent to cause harm.

The COL program article was created for the same purpose as the Tae Yun Kim article, as an attack page (it was referenced by the Tae Yun Kim article). It includes some of the same inappropriate links and information that were originally removed from the Tae Yun Kim article, and almost none of the information on it is sourced or verifiable. In addition to the inappropriate intent of the article, I think it would be a candidate for speedy deletion (A7), except that the group it talks about no longer exists. Unfortunately, it still has the potential to be hurtful to people who were at one time members of the group, so some method of removing the attack information is needed. I don't have time to correct the edits of users who undo my changes minutes after I make them, so I'm open to any suggestions on how to handle it.

Thank you MThomas333 (talk) 09:14, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I've cleaned the article and placed in only referenced information. Obviously it's a semi-cult organisation with worrying ethics, but of course anything like that needs to be sourced properly, and only a few statements were. I've left those statements in, but deleted everything else - any other additions need to be sourced, however. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 12:23, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for helping to take care of it. Sorry Wikipedia ended up in the middle of what’s really a personal attack.

I would caution you on drawing conclusions, though. Having seen this particular difference of opinion from both sides at different times, I’ve found that what “obviously” meant one thing when one person presented it to me became equally “obvious” to mean something totally different when a different person told their side of it. Almost anything is obvious if we only listen to only one side of the story. And Wikipedia isn’t about presenting stories – it’s about presenting verified information.

Although it’s difficult sometimes to “forget” the initial slant we heard, ask yourself if you think it would have been “obvious” if you heard only the facts first, without someone interpreting them for you? Or if one of the people being targeted had explained them to you first instead? Chances are the answer is no. And you’re very experienced at separating fact from opinion; other people who read WP might not even know to try.

And that’s the reason these articles were created on WP – speculation, unverifiable claims, and innuendo to convince people to think negatively. Once you’ve gotten people thinking negatively, then even if you’re later forced to present only the facts, they’re a lot more likely to interpret them negatively, and they’re a lot more likely to think any other explanation of the facts is defensive (if it takes me this long to explain it then I must be defensive, right?); score one for the smear campaign.

The references to court cases that have been made is an example, and it’s a challenge because most people don’t understand enough of the law for 1 or 2 sentences to explain it, so the explanation tends to be long (again sounding defensive). But I’ll risk being long-winded here, because this is person-to-person, and I think it’s important for all WP articles, not just this one.

The outcomes of most (maybe all) of the cases cited aren’t public (in fact, it’s usually a term of a sealed lawsuit that neither party is allowed to reveal the outcome), which means that any explanation made of the outcome is either pure speculation or intentional slant against one party or the other. Even if you leave out the speculation about the results, just mentioning that someone was named as a defendant in a lawsuit without including the outcome of the suit is a way to try and get people to assume guilt. For example, the class action lawsuit against Wikipedia accuses WP of some very unflattering things. If WP decided to settle rather than spend millions of dollars to fight it, and the terms of the settlement were that the results were to be kept private (and this is quite common in settlements between private parties in the U.S.), anyone looking at the lawsuit would see only the accusations. A very unflattering picture, which could lead you to some negative conclusions – even if the terms of the settlement included the plaintiff apologizing and completely admitting Wikipedia wasn’t at fault and that the suit was baseless.

So why settle? If someone sued you personally and falsely accused you of some very unflattering things, you’d probably want to fight it to the end and make sure that it was public knowledge that the accusation was baseless. But your bank account might not let you take it that far, so you might end up settling, even knowing it would hurt your reputation in the long run. Hmmm, that’s a tough one… do I sell my house, go deeply into debt, and risk bankruptcy to defend my reputation; or do I settle out of court, getting the accuser to pay my court fees and drop the suit as long as I accept the accusers terms that the results not be made public (knowing it may hurt my reputation several years down the road if someone looks up the lawsuit)?

If you’ve ever been involved in this kind of a lawsuit, you probably know all of this, so you won’t jump to conclusions when you hear someone was sued without hearing the outcome of the case. But if you don’t know this (and that includes most people), it takes a long time to explain why just the filing of the lawsuit doesn’t mean anything one way or the other. Bottom line, it's alot easier to make an unfounded accusation or innuendo than it is to show that it's unfounded; most people won’t take the time to understand it.

But – all that being said, rather than cover new ground here, I expect we just need to look at other WP pages to see what’s normal and acceptable. If references to lawsuits with unknown or sealed outcomes aren’t included on other WP pages, they probably don’t belong here either; I haven’t seen them other places yet, but with your experience you’ll be a much better judge of this.

I won’t go into much detail on the Inside Edition story cited, but I will say that some ethically challenged tabloid media practices of checkbook journalism, misrepresentation, and explicit lying to interviewees all took place, and some of the people who said some of the worst things have since apologized and said they were wrong. Of course you won’t see the network showing the apology on TV – they were out to tell a story to win viewers and sell advertising, not to be balanced or to get to the truth.

But none of my knowledge of what really happened with that video is documented and verifiable either, so that’s why I don’t include it in my edits – it’s inappropriate for WP. However, regardless of the specifics of this story, since newspapers and regular TV news get criticized for citing tabloid shows as sources, those tabloid shows hardly seem reliable sources for WP articles either.

I could go through each of the references cited and show the same, point by point. And I may, but I really hope it’s not necessary – it’s time consuming, and I have a real life and a real job and I don’t have as much time to spend on this as the people putting up the negative information seem to have. There are web sites where these people can (and do) say whatever insults, false accusations, negative speculation, and obscenities they can think up. And there are places where other people can say all the wonderful, positive, supportive things they want. WP isn’t the place for either one of them, and since this page, like the others, was just created as a forum to disseminate negative opinion, it doesn't seem to belong.

Final question: Is this article really notable without the context of the Tae Yun Kim attack page that was already deleted? The only places on the web that seem to reference this particular program seem to be the aforementioned sites where negative discussions take place, so I’m not sure WP is the place for it.

Thanks

You're right. The user warning was actually issued on this day in 2007, so my apologies for that. If I'd looked a bit more closely. . . Anyway, have issued a level one warning as it was still vandalism. Interestingly, I wonder what the chances of making that mistake are. Paul20070 (talk) 16:44, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

 * It looks like it's been misaligned - I feel it should be placed elsewhere in the text to make the article look 'cleaner', as it were. Maybe if we move it down slightly in the article, that'd work? Or if we added a caption? Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 11:04, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Question about final warnings
Regarding the warning I gave to, I'm confused. What is not "final" about the warning uw-vandalism3? It says "Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing". There is no logical difference between this and uw-vandalism4, which says "This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing". The only difference is in the tone of voide, the word "last warning" and some words in bold, but the meaning is the same. Using uw-vandalism3 and then not blocking the user if they ignore it and vandalise again just makes the person who warned them look silly. If uw-vandalism3 is not regarded as sufficient warning for a block, it should be reworded. In effect it should say "if you vandalize again, you will get a final warning, and if you vandalise again after that, you will be blocked"? Or am I missing something? Zaian (talk) 09:31, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * uw-4 is regarded as a final warning - users get four chances. I can't, according to the rules, block anyone at uw-3, unless it's an exceptional case. Template messages/User talk namespace shows you all our warning templates - as a rule, always use a level four warning if you are reporting to AIV, even if you're going 1-2-4, or even straight to 4im with extreme cases. According to WP:AIV, I can't block on a level 3 warning. Sorry! 09:48, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for the response. I think uw-3 is a bit pathetic in that case - I'll rather go straight to uw-4. If someone is warned that they will be blocked if they vandalise again, vandalising again should result in a block, not just in another warning. Zaian (talk) 10:08, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Restaurants
Chase me, I note you have flagged and deleted articles I created for restaurants on the Restaurant World Top 50 List. It appears an anomoly that certain entries on the list do not have further information, particularly as they fit into the criteria for Food and Drink Wikipedia project. I hope to enhance the articles with more information about the chefs etc Vivbaker (talk) 22:36, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I understand. I was concerned that the restaurant doesn't meet the overall notability requirement, but if it meets a more specific one, I do apologise - I would recreate it for you, but you've already done so I see - Accept my apologies!

My AIV report
per;


 * - On Bolton Blaze; actions evidently indicate a vandalism only account. He is vandalising all pages linked to Bolton Blaze under this username and his sock IP Special:Contributions/81.151.204.158.. TheProf - T / C 15:37, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't understand. This just looks like a good-faith editor to me... What's going on? Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 15:42, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Using an account and an IP to add seemingly false information to multiple pages! Gone a bit beyond AGF me think... TheProf - T / C 15:48, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, a quick google search seems to back the team being called Bolton Blaze . TheProf - T / C 15:50, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

It seems to me that this user has mistaken a nickname for a name change. A similer situation can be found in the neighbouring town of Wigan. Here, the fans of the football team refer to the rugby team, Wigan Warriors as Wigan Rugby. This user seems to be misunderstanding the fans of Bolton Wanderers football club calling the baseball team, Bolton Blaze, Bolton Baseball. Blaze actually changed thier name to Blaze in 2006. My main reason for the AIV report is the fact that the user is using an account and his IP to make the edits. I assume he's doing this to avoid the 3RR rule. Cheers TheProf - T / C 16:14, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't think he knows about 3rr - I have to assume good faith; that is that he's doing this and simply forgetting top log in each time. It's not blatant vandalism - revert if required, but maybe take to WP:ANI? I'll mention it in the admin IRC channel. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 16:21, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmm, the thing is, I do want to risk breaking 3RR myself. I was told off for supposed edit warring yesterday for only two reverts that I thought were warrented. Anyway... Thanks for any help you can find on IRC :-) TheProf - T / C 16:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Just thought I should let you know, I've edited Bolton Blaze to reflect the fact that they are called Bolton Baseball as a nickname. TheProf - T / C 17:43, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Good man! No luck on the channel, I'm afraid, but I'll try and keep an eye on it. Let me kow if you get any problems. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 17:58, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Kudos on two counts
First, for dealing with another Voice of Britain sock; Second, for having one of the most memorable usernames on the English Wikipedia. It brings a smile to my face every time I see it. I am concerned however that your branch of service may not be compatible with your username, as horses don't ordinarily excel at nautical pursuits. Best wishes. --SSBohio 17:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I've never actually heard of VoB - not sure what's going on there, but best to block I think. And yes, you're right, sadly. I can ride a horse (but not on a ship). The cavalry are all armyish, and I'm sure they don't want "my sort" in! Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 18:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The VoB stuff is tied up with the whole "OMG, pedophiles are editing Wikipedia!" contretemps that has been going on for months. VoB was using the tried and true method of inventing socks to support his edits and evade blocks.  I do regret, though, that the more vehement anti-pedophile editors haven't met a similar fate.  If we do our job (of writing an encyclopedia) well, then no one will need to infuse the article on pedophilia with anti-pedophile sentiment, because the facts lead to that conclusion without the proverbial "thumb on the scale."  It's an ugly situation all around, but I feel vindicated by the fact that both the pro-pedophiles and the anti-pedophiles have described me as being biased toward the other side.  It's like the joke goes:  "How do you know you're on a UN peacekeeping mission?"  "You're taking fire from both sides."
 * As to your Royal Navy career, I wish you well. Ohio's last official contact with the Royal Navy was when Oliver Hazard Perry led us to victory in the Battle of Lake Erie, which took place only miles from Toledo, where I grew up.  If you ever end up in Ohio on a goodwill tour, I'll stand you a pint.  If, instead, you invade Ohio, remember that I'm something of an Anglophile and more than willing to switch sides.  :-)  --SSBohio 02:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

PTSD talk page
I noticed you removed FahrenhorstO's comment at Talk:Posttraumatic stress disorder. I realize that the user has been blocked as a sockpuppet, but was it really appropriate to revert relevant material from a talk page in this case? It didn't seem to me to fall under any of the cases where editing others' comments is acceptable (per guidelines). Let me note that I completely disagree with Farenhorst's implication that PTSD isn't a real disorder; I'm just not sure it was necessary to remove the comment in this case. Let me know if there's an aspect of this I'm not understanding. Thanks! Zefryl (talk) 14:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I tend to revert everything if it's a sock - as a blocked/banned user, he can't contribute to anything using that account (AFAIK). Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 17:42, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Please unblock Pamlico 140
I would suggest that this block is inappropriate. The editor appears to be a kayaking enthusiast who, on Wikipedia and elsewhere, takes his/her username from a favorite model of kayak. This may not be the best choice, but there are any number of other editors who take their usernames from favored movies, albums, songs, etc without complaint. The user who quite aggressively proposed the block also falsely accused the editor of spamming after he/she wrote an article about the kayak model; it is quite a stretch, to say the least, to characterize an article which describes a product as "obsolete" and "discontinued" as promotional spam.

Unprotect Objectivism article
Hello:

Since the article needs editing, and there is only one user against the consensus (thus continued reverting would be an issue with this user - not the hallmark of a debate), could we lift the protection earlier?. Article improvement may help alleviate the anonymous user's concerns somewhat, and although persistent reverting may be disruptive, at least editing of the article may continue. We can always re-instate protection or semi-protection if things get out-of-hand.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a consensus, as the version Karbinski favors violates NPOV and relies on a POV fork. You may well wind up protecting it again, since I have no choice but to revert the unacceptable changes.

User:Art4em
I notice that you've full protected the Rat Bastard Protective Association article, possibly because of my Wikiquette_alert. There is, however, one only indiviual edit warring and that involves removing my disputed tags. (As soon as I realised that everything I was doing was going to be reverted I backed right off and filed an alert.) Sure, there is a content dispute at heart, but with only two editors interested in the article and one constructing it almost entirely out of material from his own personal website, I wonder whether there's better solution than simply locking in the problematic material for two weeks? Most of his full articles have already been speedy deleted or are about to be via AFD, however in this case there is some substance to the article which means that it's not eligible for SD/AFD, even though 80% of the content is bogus. I'm happy to wait for two weeks for the article to be unprotected, but unfortunately so will he be, leaving us no further ahead from where we were earlier today. Any advice on where to proceed managing this problematic editor would be appreciated. Debate (talk) 21:56, 11 May 2008 (UTC)


 * One of the things above are true: his speedy deletion of my articles -- even though I did request a full review. Moreover, the discussion with many other editors chimming in was summarily deleted despite their objections to the deletion.  Speedy deletion is his technique, and I was looking forward to discussion.  However, many of the other comments are slander, for instance the fully object to the slander, esp the 80% bogus.  I also object strongly to the inference with any said person, period: this is slander.

Mercy Ministries further vandalism.
Hi, it looks like you're the admin who previously protected the Mercy Ministries entry from vandalism, so it's my understanding that I am supposed to contact you with further concerns about vandalism. If I'm wrong, please point me in the right direction.

It seems like the same thing is happening again, only now the changes are coming from Australia. I tried to start a dialog on the discussion page, but haven't gotten a response, and no explanation for the deletions/additions. I don't know if the page should be protected from unregistered users, or if they should get a warning. Just looking for some help and your opinion on the matter, so if you could have a look it would really help. Thanks! Victoria Lucas (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 22:57, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
