Lamborghini‎
Hi - how are you? I have a curiosity about the domain e-lamborghini.com. What was the website used for? Selling cars or lamborghini-related merchandise? Dawnseeker2000 17:10, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok, and you. e-lamborghini.com was the domain of Automóviles Lamborghini Latinoamérica S.A. (English: Lamborghini Automobiles of Latin America S.A.) a Mexican company that made rebodied versions of the Diablo called the Eros and the Coatl under its licensing agreement.--Degen Earthfast (talk) 17:16, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Edit Troubles
I logged on to Wikipedia to see this (old) message:

" ''Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Command center (mobile), you may be blocked from editing. Dawnseeker2000 17:34, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make any unconstructive edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant warnings. ”

I own and use a private computer, but it is readily accessible to several friends. I have an account, but nonconstructive edits (like the one that inspired the above message) still happen. Unfortunately, creating an account for every user that edits Wikipedia through my computer is out of the question, and most cannot afford the time for account maintenance. Is there any way I can continue access to Wikipedia while managing other users' edits? I would very much like to avoid being blocked again. Thank you for your time. 97.102.228.89 (talk) 22:21, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Reverted your revision to Goldendoodle
Why remove external links? Links should be included, if they are useful. Some acceptable links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.

If you have a reason for removing the external links, please revert my edit, and use a descriptive summary. Thanks!  ℳ ono   14:44, 29 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Replied on user's talk page... Dawnseeker2000 
 * The article needs sources. The links section attracts spam and all the links there are of low quality. I would prefer some high quality sources. Books and magazines are good for that. That's why I removed them. Dawnseeker2000   14:47, 29 August 2010 (UTC)


 * "Unexplained" isn't really accurate is it? A previous edit summary has a policy clearly listed. Dawnseeker2000   14:49, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The "external links" section and the "references" section are completely different. If there's spam, remove the spam, not the section, and consider using No more links to let editors know. There was one link, and it was a link to the ODP. Additionally, the policy you cited does not even mention external links.  ℳ ono   18:28, 29 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Directories, as in directories of links. You can see the relationship there right? I added the Open Directory Project link, but the other editor removed it saying " dmoz is primarily a list of breeders and lumped in with labradoodles to boot". I frequently replace large, and egregious lists (directories) of links with the dmoz template. It's a great solution.


 * That article really doesn't need external links. Articles are not required to have them, so your argument of not removing the section isn't valid, unless you can point to a specific policy, that is. On top of that, those particular links probably wouldn't fly with a good article review. I went ahead and removed the link to dmoz because there isn't anything specific to goldendoodles there anyhow. Dawnseeker2000   18:37, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Well anyhow, I've added some sources to the article and changed a little bit of the content to match, so the article is improved now. I suppose I should've chose WP:EL as a policy, but said the more ambiguous WP:NOTDIRECTORY instead. My bad. Dawnseeker2000  21:03, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * WP:NOTDIR sounds like a lot of things it isn't, and tends to be over-applied. Anyway, I know you added the dmoz link, however, then you removed it, which I didn't agree with. Essentially, it's more of a non-issue; I just thought it might be useful to have the link. It's likely that people who visit the article may be interested in getting a goldendoodle, and a directory listing breeders might be useful, however, not in the article (Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising)... Finally, your improvements look nice.  ℳ ono   21:26, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy declined: Scheduled door to door shuttle service
It makes sense to me, so I have declined your WP:CSD nomination. It's definitely not encyclopedic, however, so I suggest AfD or PROD. Regards, Airplaneman   ✈  05:05, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Stereoscopy
Hi Dawnseeker2000,

Thanks for reviewing the article about Stereoscopy. Just curious why you removed an external link on Phereo.com? I completely agree that an article shouldn't have extensive number of external links, however this external link appears to be much more complex and relevant than others.

Take a closer look - most of approved links are sets of stereo photos - sometimes they are placed to sharing sites like Flickr that have no stereoscopic support. My external link leads to a stereo photo sharing resource with a good number of stereo content that can be observed utilizing any stereoscopic tool described in the article. I myself use Phereo for posting stereo photos from my Fuji stereo camera.

I'm sure that this link is relevant. If you want to shrink links - just remove those which lead to strange galleries of stereo photos placed to websites that don't allow stereo vision.

Vasily-Vasily (talk) 15:01, 31 August 2010 (UTC)


 * It's an image sharing site. I'm not really seeing the encyclopedic value there. Dawnseeker2000   15:10, 31 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Never mind. I see now that it is dedicated to stereo images. Dawnseeker2000   15:26, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Dawnseeker2000,

I worked hard updating "Stockton, CA" in order to include the "outdoor activities" category. I also erased two mean nicknames included in the description, and demoted violence to later categories so as not to unfairly paint a one-sided negative portrait of this vital, historic, and growing city. I have trouble understanding why one would not want to create a more knowledgable and balanced portrait of a city in an encyclopedia description and include my admissions.

Mercy Corps
I was recently sent a message by yourself telling me that my edit to the Mercy Corps page constituted vandalism. In this particular instance I had added Edinburgh, Scotland to the locations of headquarters of the organisation. This is indeed the case - Mercy Corps is comprised of two seperate legal and operational entities run from Headquarters in Portland, Oregon and Edinburgh, Scotland - the European headquarters, whilst working with a great deal of co-operation and co-ordinating activities with the Portland Headquarters, is technically independent and so edinburgh constitues a valid Headquarters location along with Portland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.23.121 (talk) 17:42, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Your recent Ref. addition to Geert Wilders
Hi, I read the article and I noticed the translation by Google distorts the original meaning. Where Geert said: "Er zijn mensen die zeggen dat ik de moslims haat. Ik haat de moslims niet. Het doet mij verdriet dat de islam hen van hun waardigheid heeft beroofd." Google translates it as: "Some people say that I hate Muslims. I hate the Muslims. It grieves me that Islam has deprived them of their dignity.". It should have been: "Some people say that I hate Muslims. I don't hate the Muslims. It grieves me that Islam has deprived them of their dignity." Perhaps it's not a very good idea to have the link point to this translation. Jarkeld (talk) 18:16, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

A fight with AnomieBOT
Hi Dawnseeker,

The crime that attracted AnomieBOT to my edit of Near-Earth object was that I removed one of a pair of references named "BROWN02", the one that had the text defining the name for the second reference in the pair. AnomieBOT did not care if the reference I removed was appropriate of not, it just wanted to keep the name defined for the second use of the reference. I am just finding out how this works and did not realize what I had done at first. As you can see by the edit history I finally figured it out.

Did you do something to keepAnomieBOT out of my hair until I patched things up? --Fartherred (talk) 20:15, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Space reorganization
Hello WikiProject Space member! A discussion has been started regarding the future of WikiProject Space here; any comments you might have would be welcome! There are mainly two competing ideas:


 * 1) Centralize all the Space-related WikiProjects, such as Astronomy and Spaceflight, and merge them into WikiProject Space, or
 * 2) Separate the Astronomy and Spaceflight "sides" of WikiProject, and remove WikiProject Space.

If you can think of other options, that's great too. Your contribution to the discussion would be much appreciated. Thanks! :)

 * Actually Barts1a, that's a bit unfair, because it does look like vandalism. Dawnseeker, I removed the original report because it looks like a new user who's trying to add information to the article but overwriting it instead - we see this quite often.  I've left a note on their talkpage.  Obviously, if they carry on doing it, then we block per WP:COMPETENCE. Black Kite (t) (c) 00:26, 29 November 2010 (UTC)


 * OK apologies for re-adding the report and I may have overdone it with the warnings on that user page, but I don't see much point in messing with folks that are clearly here to vandalize. There's two indications regarding their intentions: what they're actually doing (blanking) and their user name (which tells us in no uncertain terms what they'll be doing). So that's how I see it. Dawnseeker2000   00:30, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't think removing 60KB worth of text once is reasonable. This person went ahead and did it two more times. I very well could be wrong, but even noobs should think twice before removing the entire content of an article. Anywho, lesson learned here. Dawnseeker2000  00:39, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes.ogg
 Thanks for uploading File:Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes.ogg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:31, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

List of web application firewalls
Thanks for clarifying the reason for your deleting the reference to Armorlogic. However, Armorlogic is notable in the world of Web Application Firewalls. Armorlogic's Profense is the leading WAF for virtual servers. In particular, VMWare users. Also, all the major competitors are listed there so it is completely unfair not to list it. Why shouldn't Wikipedia try to be more comprehensive in their list? Readers are assisted by this and it improves wikipedia as a source. Who is the judge of notable. I am certain that Armorlogic sells more WAFs than Barracuda, although Barracuda may sell a greater variety of products. Please reinstate Armorlogic on the list of WAFs.

ssehic (talk) 18:57, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

While we agree that the original Armorlogic article started off on the wrong foot as we did not know what we were doing and approached it on the understanding that people would give us a chance to satisfy the guidelines. We thought we had provided sufficient information including third party references - Secure Computing Magazine review of our product and many of the others already listed - but the editors had a full head of steam so it became too difficult to defend the page. More importantly for new comers, we shouldn't be judged against perfect. For example, there is nothing in the Barracuda or Fortinet pages to distinguish them from Armorlogic in terms of notability. Every business is interested in being on Wikipedia for the same reason - to raise the profile of the company (aka advertising). You have indicated the listing should be held to the same threshold as a company page. It seems to me that a list of WAF products, should simply list well known WAF products. Perhaps a threshold might be what shows up on a google search rather than something as arbitrary as the editor of wikipedia who may not have any domain expertise. If you search Google under Web Application Firewall Comparison or VMWare Waf ... you will see our product near the top of the list. It is valuable information to list the WAFs - valuable to the readers. By analogy, certain vehicles or even countries might not seem notable to some readers or editors, but they should still be included in a list of vehicles and countries, shouldn't they? Again, please reinstate Armorlogic in the list of WAFs.

linkrot and preserving dead links
Hi Dawnseeker2000. On Madison High School (Portland, Oregon), there's a good reason to preserve dead links used as references. Yes, it's only being used to duplicate what is found in the KGW article, but it's good for WP:V. There's no reason all information must be accessible immediately online, and it's a citation that is useful to establish the article. tedder (talk) 05:52, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

ACA disambiguation
hi, Dawnseeker ... a few days ago you removed my addition of the Australasian Corrosion Association to the ACA disambiguation page, citing no "red link necessary". wondering why you had not simply removed the red link, i added the entry back without creating a red link. i notice you have again removed it and am wondering why. since the page does have a section for Professional Associations, and since the Australasian Corrosion Association (corrosion.com.au) is clearly one, i cannot understand why it wouldn't belong in that category. i have currently left the page as it is and am open to discussion, please.

Euphonium Edits
Bravo for having the courage to clean-up that contentious and obese section on notable artists. Your criteria for continued mention there of a groundbreaking artist's notability being demonstrated by their own article is a solid basis. (Though you missed Simone Mantia who is responsible for preventing the disappearance of the instrument in the US - but who amazingly was missing from the old list).

That section and College Climate above it are constantly in flux. I had called for this edit on the discussion page for the article and when you had the guts to push the list of euphonium players back to List of euphonium players, I went ahead and detached the list of schools and teachers as well to Euphonium Instructors. Now the challenge will be to stop the re-additions as happened last time when List of euphonium players was first created.--Rwberndt (talk) 14:20, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Mt Shasta.PNG
Thank you for uploading File:Mt Shasta.PNG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Speedy deletion nomination of User talk:Jdandvictor


A tag has been placed on User talk:Jdandvictor, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Dawnseeker2000  22:07, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

I wasn't finished updating the reference. I'm doing this for a project and now that you've fixed my reference when I wasn't done I can no longer show accurately that it was me that referenced this material for my project.

Big
Thank you for your comment, but I must ask: have you actually read the talk page? There are several comments rebutting the addition of the item. If you mean that you don't see a rebuttal from my IP address, I have a dynamic IP address which changes beyond my control. The IP I edit from today may not be the IP I edit from tomorrow. But that is beside the point. The argument has been made against the item because it is original research. That is more than sufficient. 24.163.39.26 (talk) 02:33, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I must disagree that repeatedly restoring a contentious item that is currently under discussion (and that has been quite reasonably challenged) is not vandalism. Although I respect your right to express support for the item, I think you also need to watch your tone in criticizing someone who is simply defending several Wikipedia policies, notably WP:CON, WP:V, WP:NOR, and WP:BURDEN. Thank you. 24.163.39.26 (talk) 03:08, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * "There is little consequence in having that particular text in that article.": It's fine for you to have that opinion, but you obviously have little respect for either WP:NOR or WP:CON, which makes me wonder why you have appointed yourself to police other editors.
 * I think you and I will simply be in disagreement regardless of what happens because I think you are quite wrong in your assessment of the Italian editor who has repeatedly been disruptive, and you obviously think I am quite wrong. In any event, I think both of us will do well to watch our tones and to avoid each other. 24.163.39.26 (talk) 04:36, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
