Limerick "response" from Cobaltbluetony
This is not a democracy. This is a serious attempt at creating a respectable encyclopedia. We want everyone to contribute positively, but we won't tolerate nonsense, abuse, etc. Your edit, "Carlsberg don't do cities but if they did, then Limerick would probably...." makes no sense, and does not contribute to the encyclopedia value of the Limerick article. You are welcome to argue your case, but seeing as you don't actually have one, it might not help you any. Please re-read the message I first posted here; it was friendly and even-tempered. Your response to me was not. This is a community effort, so please try to act as you would with people in real life. Again please take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks! -> The insert I made to the article makes sense to all who know anything about Limerick City in Ireland. I am a native of the City as are my parents and grandparents. I have lived there for 28 years. How can an American like you presume to judge whether this insert makes no sense at all when you know little if anything about Limerick City. Let me enlighten you by saying it is the most popular beer in the City and us natives of the City commonly use the Carlsberg beer catchphrase in everyday conversation when making humourous comments. You make another presumption that "I can argue a case but I don't have one" which is a quasi oxymoron. I would of thought that a neutral encyclopedia community administrator like yourself would know better than to make such skewed presumptions of positivity. Let me give you some advice, don't presume about other people's point of view or about their motives, it is insulting and an insult to your duty to this community. Thank you for your time.

Limerick
Why was my line in the first paragraph of Limerick reverted??I'm supporting and promoting my city, that can hardly be analogous with vandalism and if it is a crime, well Officer send me down. How does someone like you get into a position whereby they are judge, jury and executioner?? This is an internet encyclopedia, not a dictatorship. How are you qualified to have this power and why should you be bestowed with it?

Sorry

Good evening Cobaltbluetony, I'm not sure if this how I'm supposed to reply, but I can't see any text boxes. Thank you for your help in forming my article, and sorry if you find it unsatisfactory. This is my first time attempting to add to Wikipedia, and I am a little unsure as to what exactly you mean by'Lack of importance.' I have viewed numerous entries on Wikipedia which I would consider to also have a 'Lack of importance,' yet they remain there. I would appreciate if you could clarify your position, and I will be happy to co-operate with your suggestions. Yours, Dbarrycork 12:14, 12 May 2006

Reminder...
When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use &#123;&#123;subst:test&#125;&#125; instead of &#123;{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. — Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 21:44, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Blurred Standards?
Thanks for the message. I did wonder however, why my edit in External links was removed, yet other people have clearly placed links to their sites there, but they have not been removed. Their links to their own pages gave further information that could not have been given on the wikipedia website. The link I added only did the same... I'm sure you must appreciate the fact that I put it in External Links, making it quite clear what it would lead to!!! --Huweth 11:17, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't know why you removed my additions.
My additions to the Fordham Preparatory School web page were not a test, they were true and I don't think you are contributing to the Wikipedia community very much by deleting my true edits. I was only trying to add to my schools page. I am an alumni and Samuel Redding was my best friend and we still talk today. I also have a son who goes to the Prep and I don't appreciate you deleting the addition of his club of Advanced Military Strategy to the website. I would like for you to return the page to its original state in order to respect my friend Samuel Redding as well as my son. This small thing I tried to do has definately turned into an ordeal. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.252.96.44 (talk • contribs) 21:25, 15 May, 2006
 * ''I apologize if your efforts were sincere; however, there were a number of considerations which led me to revert your edits.
 * ''For the Special Olympics, there were no 1990 games, in the summer or winter. 1991 summer games were held in Minneapolis / St.Paul (19-27 July). 1989 winter games were held in Reno / Lake Tahoe (1-8 April). The Special Olympics website does not list a Samuel Redding, nor is there an article about him here on Wikipedia. Wikipedia's essay on notability might take precedence on this, but if you can find mention of him on some online resource, this would be most beneficial for supporting his mention at least in the Fordham Prep article.
 * Advanced Military Strategy ''does not appear on Fordhams's website anywhere, nor does Theresa Napoli have any course information listed, so I cannot verify this information either. It may very well be true, but under the policy WP:VERIFY, unverified claims may be deleted; this was my justification.  Since you do not have an account, you appear only as an IP number, and IP numbered editors make by far the most specious and vandalous edits.  This fact added to my concern about your information.
 * ''However, under WP:AGF, I am going to restore Samuel Redding's mention. If you can find some form of verifiable evidence as to the advanced military strategy course being taught at Fordham, and that Theresa Napoli is the instructor, I will restore this as well.
 * I hope we can work together on this. - Cheers! - CobaltBlueTony 15:16, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much for restoring my changes but I cannot give you any evidence as to the existence of the Advanced Military Strategy nor that Mrs. Napoli is the instructor because Mrs. Napoli is new this year and they have not updated the teacher list yet. They usually dont until the beginning of the next academic year, so until then I cannot help you. The main thing is that my friends accomplishments were honored, and again I thank you for that.

I don't think that can be called Neutral
I recently edited certain passages on the Jehovah's Witnesses pages which you changed back. The motivation behind it is for the exact reasons you stated in your statement to me about being neutral. Many passages in that page are absolutely NOT neutral and definitely has an opnion within them. It shouldn't have any tone to it, negative or positive. It should just simply state the facts. When speaking about disfellowshipping it is very blatantly giving a negative opinion regarding Jehovah's Witnesses and is not completely accurate. As one of Jehovah's Witnesses I'm offended by it. There is nothing wrong with stating facts, but facts is not what is mentioned in that article.

I agree with your statement "No opinion should be presented," so perhaps someone should take a closer look at that article and exclude any negative opinions that were clearly incorporated into it. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rasmitaz (talk • contribs) 15:08, 17 May, 2006

Thumbelina (1992)
I guess that kills my enthusiasm for writing a page on the 1992 animated film, Thumbelina, being obscure and all. Oh, well, IMDb appreciates the information and all the time I spend writing what I write. Should have kept back-up of what I wrote on the "The O.C. Bunch" (2005). - Tron 21:22, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll have you know, that I spend a lot of time on my research, I've contacted companies and sometimes crew in order to acquire facts before submitting them to IMDb. It may be true that IMDb often takes unfactual information into the database, but I cannot put an authentity guarrantee seal on my submissions that verify all the research I've done to get them. - Tron 21:31, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

No, I'm more upset about the time I wasted writing that rather large article. - Tron 21:41, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, but vandalism can be undone. When an article is just deleted, everything just goes with it.  Luckily, some of the stuff I had written are printed on the River Forest newspaper the strip was issued on. - Tron 21:51, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available
 After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:13, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Slow vandalism on JW page
This is another slow vandalism attack. You're better off getting admin attention instead of reverting again. In fact, if another revert takes place, I think you could list it on 3RR. Or is it listable already? josh buddy talk 20:57, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Why?
I'm just asking. How come you took all of those important people from off the Cancers category? Hit me back. - Thursday, 25 May 2006 4:37 P.M./A Different World

Why? Part Two
That's their opinion. Come on, I'm doing something new. Their the ones that's jealouse of it. Why follow them? Come on, this is new, preach to them or I won't be able to write something new ever again. Stop embarrassing me with deleting these items. - Thursday, 25 May 2006 4:47 P.M./A Different World

That's A Shame
That's a shame for listining to them. It is neccsesary to put whatever you want but nonsence on this website. This is revolutionary. If you think that this is nonsence they why can't you do anything with the Chinese Zodiac? Come on now. This is fundemental. Do I have to put out the definition for the Astrological Signs so it won't become nonsense. Come on, Stop deleting the revolutionary and leave it alone. Look at it as a new thing. - 4:58 Thursday, 25 May 2006/A Different World

Knowledge
Revolutions can run over opinions if they like, but not facts. How am I wasting my time when your free will is damaging peoples hard decided and hard work of posting stuff that's real. What can we do? Come on, I've been doing so much thinking that people might want to look at the page more often. You can't do this. You are listining to their opinion and you believe it as a fact because your not ready for it. That's like me not ready for DVDs and VHS is played out. But that's neither here or there. I'm saying that my ideas can change this website, entertainers that died in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, that's somebodys hard work and you go ahead and delete that? Come on man, be for real. This website is stong but not strong enough. And it's going to turn dummber if I post these websites on forums everywhere. When students and people that are as old as I am see websites like popular and famous people, they'll become intrested saying "Oooh, I'm the virgo too" I've got to read more. That's publicity but a good one mind you. So why delete something that you can't handle. It's revolutionary. If I have to deal with VHSs being gone forever in 2007 (that's neither here or there) then why can't you deal with something new. You know what, yall going to have to put out some serious rules out there for all of us users so we don't have to become embarassed of our hard work. I mean that. - 5:10 Thursday, 25 May 2006/A Different World

Your Right
And I thought that people would know their year of birth when it comes to their faces. But your right. Your absolutley right. But why leave the Year Births down on the categories anyway? That's what made me think of the sign idea. Something new that'll spark the mind, your infamous but the family I know has no intrest in this website, so that's why I'm continuing to work on a few things. This dosen't have to happen to everyone that's famous. But you have a point. It's just that some people don't know and it'll make them learn. - 5:30 Thursday, 25 May 2006/A Different World

Limerick revisited
I have no intention of picking a fight, you obviously have not heeded my advice of making presumptions. Furthermore, it is a good suggestion of yours to develop my point about Carlsberg so as to be of a point with a World view, however I am reluctant to do so as I feel the up to 200 words it may require to detail the point will be subject to such pedantic scrutiny as has been demonstrated thus far. I have become disillusioned with the process of editing in light of the responses I have received which served to undermine and insult my point of view without examination or regard. It's a shame this happened but maybe it was inevitable given your propensity to rush to judgement and presumption on contributors. Occupational hazard perhaps.

These are in the empty and delete queue. I am just trying to close the discussions right now, not update categories in articles.

Smurfs
Hi, why did you revert my changes on The Smurfs? I'm a registered and experienced user of the polish Wikipedia, I just don't have an account here. I think I know better about the use of the word 'smerf' in polish, and that's all I edited. Why am I treated like a vandal? Nice greeting on the english wikipedia :/ Stansfield


 * Ok, I get you. It's hard to get a citation when it's just a slang thing, the most simple way to check it is typing 'smerf' and 'policja'(police) in Google:) but here u go, I added a link to an official police page about the program "Smerf" (conducted by the polish police for kids) as they even call themselves "Smerfy" (Smurfs) :) hope that's enough. Stansfield


 * Keep your pants on. I've opened an account. But I'm having problems with a redirect between the en and pl wikipedias, help me out here:/


 * Well if I cant, then I won't. I'll type sth more some other time. And hope I'll have time for some polish-related edits:) thx for the help


 * Like u mean the babel boxes from my polish page would appear on the english one? well that sounds reasonable, though I guess I can do it myself. or is there some automatic system to that I'm not aware of? :)

Re: your message on my [talk page].

Thanks for pointing out the three reverts rule. I was not aware of it and will follow it in future.

You can see what a handful he has been for other people involved with the article here: []

User-space redirects
The only cross-namespace redirects that are technically eligible for speedy deletion are those from the main article space to userspace (not in the other direction). However, I do agree that it is a bit jarring to redirect one's main user page somewhere else, though I suppose that, given the latitude usually afforded contributors in designing user pages, it's technically allowed. If it's annoying you, I'd suggest dropping a note on the user's talk page and politely asking whether that user would consider removing the redirect. — TKD::Talk 09:23, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I posted a notice on Administrators' noticeboard/3RR This person is a problem user and needs to be dealt with! Buckner 1986 23:40, 25 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I must say that I resent being described as a "problem child." This is a simple content dispute in which Mr. Buckner has continued to re-add his false information even after I linked him to several episode recaps that disprove it on Pathfinder (pricing game)'s Talk page.  I am attempting to have a conversation with him now on his own Talk page; I can only hope he and I can come to an agreement. -TPIRFanSteve 00:10, 26 June 2006 (UTC)


 * ...and we apparently can't. On top of that, I'm apparently also a sockpuppeteer now.  Is there something that can be done about this?  Please?  'Cause he clearly isn't gonna listen to me. -TPIRFanSteve 05:00, 26 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much. I will remain as civil as possible...I have no intention of giving Mr. Buckner any additional ammo. -TPIRFanSteve 14:28, 26 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I think TPIRFanSteve has stopped being civl as he has introduced sockppuppets and/or meatpuppets into the debate. Very low blow! Buckner 1986 23:22, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * And another one! Daor Nedlog, which is the main part of TPIRFanSteve's own Price Is Right fan site name "golden-road.net" spelled backwards. Could this be a coincidence? Buckner 1986 22:48, 29 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Given the results of the CheckUser, I think it's pretty clear that I'm not using sockpuppets. (EDIT:  On second thought, it proves that Zinkin isn't a sockpuppet.  Oh well.)  With that done, how the heck do I prove I'm not using meatpuppets?  'Cause I can't see any way to actually prove that I don't know who User:Plinky and User:Daor Nedlog are, and I'm not even sure whether they just didn't know that they were inviting themselves to be labeled as puppets or they did it intentionally to reflect badly on me (and I have dealt with people on Usenet and message boards who would do that if they had the opportunity).


 * I just want to put this to rest, and I really don't know how. -TPIRFanSteve 01:08, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I am not a sockpuppet!
I just want to make clear for the record, I'm no one's sockpuppet; I don't know Steve, but we are not posting in tandem. I was fed up with people degrading Steve's good work withinformation that cannot be proven. I understand the need to look into charges of sock puppetry even if there is not real proof. I am not Dzinkin or Steve. Plinky 15:32, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

JW article edit
Thanks for the reminder. It does get very frustrating when users continue to make blatantly POV edits, especially when they are entire POV paragraphs from copyright publications. Unfortunately, the kind of people who make such brazen edits over and over again simply don't respond to nice friendly nPOV templates, and the culprits are largely anonymous IPs, so there is no point in adding to their talk pages anyway. On a separate note, I noticed that a vandal had falsely claimed a 'revert' to an edit by me, but actually reverted to a vandalised edit, which you corrected). I was very annoyed with that particular AOL user. Thanks for picking up on their deception.--Jeffro77 14:25, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Persecution
Hi there - Sorry I didn't get back to you Thursday. I'd done RC for four straight days and the 4th and 5th were absolutely insane, so I just checked messages yesterday and stayed off after that. It looks like your guy has settled down with just the two blocks, at least for now, but I'll keep an eye on it today – I'm sure he'll be back.

I really like to write and edit, but this RC stuff is certainly interesting. Somebody's trying to trick me into checking my 'you have new messages' alert with a redirect to the Punk'd entry every other day (is that like a Wiki-rite of passage or something?), plus I've had my user page vandalized 3 times this week by a guy who POV'd the HItler page, so what's one more? It's having fun with no money! Let me know if your guy starts up again and I miss it. ;-) - Baseball,Baby!   take a swing  10:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

re:BrianBarney
I had not even planned on really monitoring him. I am not an idiot and realize that if I had tried, it would only have antagonized him further. Seeing him actually participating on several talk pages was a bit of a redeeming when I glanced at his contributions. As for the "contribution, not the contributor" ideal, it's a double-edged sword. Massive, high-quality contributions are not, should not be an excuse to gloss over blatant ignoring of non-content related policies. Circeus 02:16, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi tony
thanks for getting back, ive been trying to get a human to respond and to my luck there is humans behind the binary!

yes the page called shem booth and was the start of a 3rd person perspective of my practice as an artist and researcher.

if u do a search of "shem booth" on wikipedia go to deleated log and some scientist of all things left a really nasty coment, deleated it and moved on. Although it was at the early stages of being build it was a start, and collecting people opineons of my work and practice, not from me but from other people otherwise i might aswell write it myself

my friend called me today and i asked about how it was going and then he told me about all this. apparently this admin guys coming up with all sorts of excuses, yet other people are bitching about this guy doing the same thing(and this guys surposed to be admin!).

To be honest the reason im so pissed is i dont wanna get the guys to start again and build it propley then its get deleted again and waste everyones time. the page started with sentence Shem booth spain Ba(hons) MA, Artist, musician, academic. i think i qualifie for all 3

i tryed to contact anyone to get a responce starting with the admin guy who did it, this is what was said.

Hi there
im a artist, producer and academic.The administrator "Blnguyen" deleted the page that was being built for me, and left a rather ignorant comment "an academic who doesn't seem to have PhD

well let me address this, first of all i was accepted and started a PhD course at the university of Greenwich London computing and mathematical sciences, and Plymouth university (planetary colligium) uk with supervisor Roy ascott- I’m not doing that PhD no more, but because i could not afford it. im only 24, ive spoke at the Technarte 2006 art & technology conference, ive written and produced a double concept album, ive taught and lectured at various university’s, please help.

AMA request
User:Truthwanted persists, to the point of repeated 3RR violations, to POV push his notion, apparently supported by one scholar, that the Declaration of Facts proves Jehovah's Witnesses were trying to curry favor with the Nazi government by claiming that some values/ideals were shared by both entities. It has been explained that the "ideals" in question were "high moral standards" and "family values". Nevertheless, User:Truthwanted persists in reproducing selected texts' from the Declaration, using bold' and/or italics to emphasize the portions that support his viewpoint. Several editors have reverted his edits, tried to explain in the edit summary or talk page, but he does not want to relent. He also accuses Witness editors of bias and attempting to hide some truth (ergo his preemptive nom de wiki?), assuming bad faith on our part. - CobaltBlueTony 18:18, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

ping Before I proceed here are there two other users, apart from yourself who have also tried to resolve this dispute, because if mediation does not work then the next step is RFC where that will be required. Benon 22:31, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

At this stage I see two options open to you in the dispute resolution process (after skimming through the dispute history):-


 * 1) Go for formal or informal mediation, if all major parties will agree to it, however as Truthwanted, has failed thus far to respond to reasonable invitations to the talk page I am unsure as to whether he will respond to a mediation request (nor can I be sure you would accept mediation.)


 * 1) Go for an RFC, providing you can get two other users to certify that they as well have attempted to communicate and resolve with Truthwanted, on the locus of ignoring conseus.

Anyway just my opinions, just as a little curtosey can we keep the disscusion on your user talk page please (I have it watcher) as it helps to centralise the disscusion rather than fragmenting it, awaiting your response Benon 22:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I counted 4 distinct reverts plus a few extra edits spread across the username and the IP.

Hey bro
I think it looks fair; though I just hate seeing something like that on Wikipedia. The claim is made, and the defence against the claim is given, the defence makes the initial allegation look so totally rediculous you wonder why the allegation is there in the first place. Especially in this case it's just absurd, the obvious intent of the original is to slander rather than relay accurate information. I'm still not convinced that it should still even be in the article, however, it is nice knowing that people who run into the allegation elsewhere on the internet will now have the refutation of the allegation readily available.. I dunno... I admire your willingness to attempt compromise. Duffer 05:49, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

The sources for the article are the public files you can get from the SEC and JPM annual reports. This is very basic and factual information (Bloomberg and Reuters have it too). I was just checking some of Weatherstone's "counterparts" entries (e.g. Jamie Dimon or Bill Harrison) and none of those articles have any source reference about when he was born or went to school or when he was in charge. WikiPier 17:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment Hi Tony, thank you for contacting me. You seem to be an experience Wikipedian. I feel there have been unfair marking for the deletion of the International Institute of Management article. While I understand that the initial vote by voters was based on lack of information and that the article may require editing, but I provided clear references for verifiability and notability on this article's entry . However some voters still want it deleted in spite of the clear answers! Just because they do not know about the institute does not mean the institute is not notable especially when it has consortiums in 16 countries and their education programs are broadcasted all over Europe and North Africa. I feel that this is unfair practice by deletionists and I ask your opinion and support. Please help! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Miro.gal (talk • contribs) 22:41, August 11, 2006

While I know of many people who are aware of the statue, I put it under the only name I've ever heard for it other than "that statue." It appears that the use of the name is not as widespread as I thought, and should if anything be no more than a footnote to a more extensive article about the history of this landmark (if it is possible to find out enough to warrant such an article in the first place). I really should have done more research, and I really appreciate you taking the time to explain the reasoning, it has helped me to better understand what Wikiedia is, and how it works.
