Article name change
This article should be called Vesuvio Cafe and NOT Vesuvio's. That is just a nickname. As you can see from the official site for the establishment in the article the proper name is Vesuvio Cafe. Please change this article title! Thanks! See the article link here:

Create new category
If possible, you could please create a new Wikipedia category called: Category:Flavor of Love for the American VH1 reality television series called Flavor of Love. This reality TV show has had a number of spinoffs and there are a lot Wikipedia pages about this show and the contestants for it on Wikipedia already, thanks.12.196.37.227 (talk) 22:34, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Âddition to article LCD
Have put a proposed addition to the article on LCD on the corresponding discussion page but was not able to sign it by putting SwissLCD (talk) 09:59, 6 July 2011 (UTC) under my contribution. How come ? SwissLCD (talk) 09:59, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Help
Sir, actually I need help, I put tag correctly by criteria but some admins like user:AllyD is confusing me about that, you can see that on my talk page, I put the nominating tag for deletion on those autobiographic articles which have not references but this admin stopping me. Can you help me, thanks.--—AssassiN's Creed (talk) 22:47, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * FIrst of all, AllyD isn't an admin. Second, instead of nominating unreferenced BLPs for deletion through AFD, you can use another process. See WP:BLPPROD. Go to the "PROD" option in Twinkle and select "BLP PROD". — G FOLEY   F OUR!  — 22:51, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Need your help
The Bilawal Zardari Bhutto page is improperly titled. The correct title is Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. The page is move-protected. Could you move it? Reformation32 (talk) 16:13, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * It seems to have been moved before.

New bookstore infobox template suggestion
It would be a good idea for a new bookstore infobox template to be added to Wikipedia. There are a number of bookstore articles listed on Wikipedia and it seems fitting to have a bookstore infobox. Using a company infobox does not feel as accurate. A bookstore infobox would work better. Here are some of the bookstore Wikipedia articles this new infobox could be used for:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Lights_Bookstore

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespeare_and_Company_(bookshop)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotham_Book_Mart

Right changes
What was this about, it showed up on my watchlist "changed rights for User:PumpkinSky from account creator, autopatrolled, confirmed user, file mover, reviewer and rollbacker to account creator, autopatrolled, file mover, reviewer and rollbacker (autoconfirmed)"? Just curious. Pumpkin Sky  talk  01:33, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I was just removing the Comfirmed right that is unnecessary since you are WP:Autoconfirmed. It won't change anything you see/do. — G FOLEY   F OUR!  — 01:41, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism only
Hi there FOLEY, VASCO here,

the last two IPs i reported (message with the same title, seen in this page still) still have not received their due, but that's cool, they have not acted since my report, but their actions were disruptive believe me.

Now, found this: in Nélson Oliveira, "user" up to no good, has even managed to move the footballer's talkpage to another one he insists in creating. Well, at least he's only focused (obssessed?) with only one article, but it's vandalism ONLY!

Attentively, happy weekend - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 23:50, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll monitor them, as always! — G FOLEY   F OUR!  — 05:09, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Question about socks and blocks
Hello there. At WP:Sockpuppet investigations/JimmyDarmodyRules‎ you blocked sockmaster for 72h. There is a new IP editor who I believe is the same person and currently editing the Falling Skies page. Is this allowed or considered getting around a block? (see contributions of 89.204.188.4 (talk · contribs · info · WHOIS) and 89.204.194.140 (talk · contribs · info · WHOIS) ). IP has removed some sourced ratings information just as sock  did here in a mass deletion (removing lots of other stuff, too). Sockmaster/socks were all deleting anything negative from the article, although now IP gives another reason. IP also removed redlinks, as did sock :. Just wondering about this. Thanks. --Logical Fuzz (talk) 23:47, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Blocked the latest ip for 72h; extended block on the 'master sock' to indef. I'll also put that page on my watchlist. — G FOLEY   F OUR!  — 05:07, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion rationales
Hi Gfoley, you have apparently sometimes speedily deleted article citing Not:essay as the reason; this is now being quoted as justification for using that as a valid speedy deletion rationale, which it is not. The discussion is taking place at User talk:SwisterTwister. I have argued that in the two cited cases, there were actually other valid speedy deletion criteria, despite your citing not essay. Care to join the discussion? Lady of  Shalott  22:20, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Haplogroup J1c3d (Y-DNA)
Thanks for your help with the Haplogroup J1c3d (Y-DNA) page. It was my first experience with vandalism so I was at a loss of what to do.--Victar (talk) 05:55, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually that's not vandalism. Please (re-)read WP:VAND. — G FOLEY   F OUR!  — 05:56, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * It is not when you start deleting whole page sections? --Victar (talk) 06:14, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The page says, "Removing all or significant parts of a page's content without any reason, or replacing entire pages with nonsense [is vandalism]." He did give a reason – valid in your mind or not. — G FOLEY   F OUR!  — 06:17, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Spam IPs
This IP belongs to the range 125.115.0.0/16, which seems to be producing only spam and vandalism - purely disruptive. See almost no constructive edits, no danger of collateral damage.Jasper Deng (talk) 22:30, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * 125.115.195.242 (talk · contribs · info · WHOIS)
 * There is hardly any activity coming from that range – so I'm declining to block. Furthermore, the user is spamming via a range too large to block. — G FOLEY   F OUR!  — 22:37, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

We need to discuss "vandalism"
From an edit by User:Marinapeaches: ""In 2009, Newsome came under attack for the City of San Francisco's policy of illegally harboring juvenile criminal aliens. The city was circumventing Immigration and Customs Enforcement by harboring or sending the aliens back to their own native countries. ""

That's a blatant violation of WP:NPOV, and NPOV is covered by the uw-vandalism user warning series. What am I missing here? – Muboshgu (talk) 22:59, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Just because it's in the uw- series, doesn't make it vandalism. NPOV is explained in WP:VAND. Please (re-)read that. — G FOLEY   F OUR!  — 23:02, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * So even though Template:uw-npov4 states "the next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, you may be blocked from editing without further notice", the offender will in fact not be blocked from editing without further notice. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:08, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * No, he can still be blocked. Just not for vandalism. In this case, I decided to protect the article. — G FOLEY   F OUR!  — 23:09, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
