Erm, hi
I got a message saying changes I'd made to an article on "Alan Hervey" had been reverted - but I made no such changes. In fact there doesn't seem to be a article on "Alan Hervey". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.111.76.248 (talk) 10:38, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That's probably because you're on a dynamic IP and got it after the person who *did* do it was warned; the warning does not apply to you. The article was deleted two days ago, by the by; the edit was made on the 14th January. -Jeremy (v^_^v Dittobori) 11:04, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Twilightgirl94
Just a quick question... I'm sure you didn't mean any harm, but why did you revert her/his edit of my talk page. There's no vandalism in there as I can see. Also, you interpreted her/his last edit of Alexandre evans as a vandalism. This page is objectionable, I know (that's why I proposed it for speedy delete), but adding a biography of a person (even if he wrote it himself) is no vandalism. Is it? Thanks. Peasantwarrior (talk) 14:51, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No, you are correct. I don't know why I did either of them, so I self-reverted. J.delanoy gabs adds  14:53, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Persistant Vandal
Hi! Could you please take a look at this users current contributions see:- Users talk page. They are getting too profane and offensive to allow the IP to be able to edit uncontrolled; EG: 3 attacks today on the Joe Howard, Jr. article. Prior blocks and multiple warnings have no effect. Could you consider an indefinate anon block (educational/ school block) or at least a minimum of 12 months until the current individual moves on to another target? the six vandalism edits today have been reverted. Richard Harvey (talk) 15:57, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, the IP has not made any edits in 4 hours, so I don't think a block would really do anything at this point. If he starts again, you can make a report on WP:AIV to get him blocked. J.delanoy gabs adds  16:02, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oops - I went ahead and blocked for another year (IAR and all). The vandalism returned nearly immediately after the last year block expired. – xeno  ( talk ) 16:05, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Not a problem. I didn't notice that the first time, so I'm probably the one who should be saying oops. J.delanoy gabs adds  16:09, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Rollback request
Hello, I noticed your name on the list of admins willing to grant rollback, and since I have seen you active in vandalism fighting on several pages I have watchlisted, I thought I would request rollback from you. I revert vandalism, usually to watchlisted pages, manually and believe rollback would be a useful tool. Checking my history will indicate I have never been involved in any edit war, and have no intention to use rollback on anything other than blatant vandalism. Thank you in advance for considering my request, whether you decide to grant rollback or decline my request :-). The   Seeker 4   Talk  16:03, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you!
 * I appreciate you granting me the rollback tool. I will certainly contact you if I have any questions and will edit manually in any situation where vandalism is not obviously vandalism.  Thank you again.  The   Seeker 4   Talk  16:15, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

please review the Bay Area Street Hockey article again
Hi,

I find it odd that a picture of Bay Area Street Hockey is already existing on Wikipedia but that an article gets rejected. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hockey_Game_-_12.JPG

It doesn't make much sense. The article is based on the following from the Noe Valley Voice:

http://www.noevalleyvoice.com/2003/April/BASH.html

In addition, it is acceptable to post an article on Bay_Area_Baracus_Rugby_Football_Club ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_Area_Baracus_Rugby_Football_Club

Please review again?

Thanks, Tami

Stoney Creek High School
Would it be prudent to put a range block on the IPs that kept vandalising the above page? They circumvented final warnings by using slightly different IPs. Plus this user is probably a sock from one of those IPs seeing as after a final warning was issued they created that account and the first edit was to vandalize the school's page. Best --DFS454 (talk) 19:12, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Liberty High
The new, unsourced additions to Liberty Senior High School are getting out of control. Most of the claims made on the page have no source whatsoever, and the ones that do are improperly cited. I noticed that you have edited it before and would like to know what to do. Rather than revert multiple times, I have attempted to contact the anonymous user and discuss it on the talk page, but to no avail. Please help out if you can. Thanks. --DerRichter (talk) 08:00, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Who are you?
First of all, who are you to tell me what to do? You do not know me. Second, knowledge is a useless thing; there is no point of learning what happened hundreds years ago. Even articles that cover things still around today are useless in themselves. People need not know these things. This website was created to be an encyclopedia. Not a history book. Or a book on Harry Potter characters. This site is useless as an encyclopedia. Radiolabel2009 (talk) 14:53, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * And replacing sections of text with the word "PENIS" improves the encyclopedia how, exactly? I am prepared to block you as a vandalism-only account if you don't begin contributing constructively. – xeno  ( talk ) 15:01, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Answers:


 * 1) I am an administrator here. You vandalized a page, so I warned you. You don't even have to be an admin to warn people for vandalizing.


 * 2) If knowledge is useless, how are you now sitting on a computer reading this message? Your computer did not just randomly appear, and all the things necessary to create and sustain it (plastic, electricity, etc.) were invented because people learned how to do them. In addition, your food, clothing, heat, shelter, and even ability to read and write are a direct result of knowledge. You say knowledge is useless, and yet you yourself are taking great advantage of the collective knowledge of humanity.


 * 3) History is relevant to today's world because even though circumstances and technology change, people are always the same.


 * 4) You are correct that there is no information on this website that cannot be found elsewhere. However, there is no place on Earth where this much information is included in one place, and so easily accessible. You are also correct that people do not need to know about Harry Potter. However, many people enjoy reading about him, so there is no harm in including information about the subject. Wikipedia is not limited by size, since it is all on a computer, and if you don't like Harry Potter, just don't read the article about him.


 * 5) People do need to know about many of the things included in this project. Science and mathematics form the foundation of our civilization. Literature and art stimulate creativity and improve mental depth. They also help to make life enjoyable. History teaches us about how we came as far as we have, and it also serves as a warning not to repeat the same mistakes our ancestors did. Also, as far as an encyclopedia "not being a history book", I invite you to open the "U" volume of Britannica or World Book and look at their article about "United States, History of the". It seems that these printed encyclopedias serve to refute your argument.


 * 6) The usefulness or uselessness of anything is subjective. However, considering that Wikipedia's servers respond to more requests than all but 7 websites on the Internet, I would guess that the vast majority of people would disagree with you. Of course, you are free to believe what you wish, but if you think Wikipedia is worthless, why are you reading it? And why did you create an account?  J.delanoy <sup style="color:red;">gabs <sub style="color:blue;">adds  15:14, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

1) I dont know how to answer this; as you seem to have threatned to block me should I answer it.

2) I was simply reffering to the rather useless collection of random articles such as character pages from unknown shows, books and movies.

3) People have need to hear about how many wives Henry VIII or what happened the year 1202. Unless you like it; if so please do so.

4) I am sure fans of Harry Potter know enough.

5) Ok, you got me at no. 5

6) This website seems to take pride in its large status. May I ask how the editors would react if the internet shut down? How would you feel reading non editble dictionarys again? I myself have read encyclopedias and think of them as garbage. I was born in Costa Rica, where we did not read books or go on wiki. We did not even go to school. We turned out fine and I challenge you to find an example of my country's stupidity. (You are probably going to say im an example, lol) Radiolabel2009 (talk) 16:57, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Vehicular Homicide

-- I am on here because we keep trying to update the Safety Glass Movie file on Wikipedia and a few editors keep putting it back to incorrect information.

Safety Glass is an Insight Film Studios production with Nasser Entertainment. When it was in trouble a year ago, Insight's owner/producer Kirk Shaw stepped in and took it over from some US partners. This was not a Brightlight Production. I spent a year of my life on this show and would appreciate not having my updated information on Wikipedia replaced with miss-information. Further, the poster that someone is putting on here is not approved by anyone and was an internal rough idea of a poster; the cast has not signed off on it and we are legally responsible to ensure final approved artwork is available.

Please help us ensure this service is an accurate one.

Page moves vandalism
Hi, you took pains (thank you!) to revert these, Chris G 3 hours before that did the same with these. The destination of the former was: HẦ6 6 E R?, of the latter: H Ấ6 6 ER ? Any idea what is going on? A couple of these pages are showing on my watchlist, so if you need help of some kind, count me in. Dc76\talk 12:11, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm using a script Mr Z-man wrote, so it's really not that difficult. But thanks! Anyways, the reason why they show up more than once is because someone is using a script to vandalize. They apparently just enter a list of pages they wish to vandalize, and a list of pages they wish for the script to move the pages to. J.delanoy <sup style="color:red;">gabs <sub style="color:blue;">adds  13:53, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Is it really so simple to vandalize? What did it prevent them to enter a list of 1,000 articles? I thought one needs to be an established user to be allowed to perform page moves. Does that still require a min number of edits and days? Anyway, if you have the tool and it's easy, fine. But how do you ensure there is always someone with the tool online to undo the vandals? Dc76\talk 15:14, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Answers, in order. Yes it is that simple. There is a throttle; non-admins can only perform 6 moves in one day. Yes, you do have to be an established user to perform page moves. You have to have a four-day-old account with ten edits. We don't have any way to ensure that someone is always on, but there are a lot of people who patrol this sort of thing, and it would be very strange if none of them were on. The person who is doing all the page-move vandalism lives in the Pacific Time Zone, so he usually is active just as ~half of America is going to sleep en masse. But Australia is wide awake, and some early risers in Britain are just getting out of bed. So, for the most part, we have all 24 hours covered. Besides, ClueBot and AntiAbuseBot can revert page-move vandalism, and they never sleep. J.delanoy <sup style="color:red;">gabs <sub style="color:blue;">adds  15:35, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Normally, when someone does that, they only do it once, and doing that once is not a blockable offense, IMO.

Reverted One of Your Actions
Hi, I saw you undid one of my edits to Stevie Wonders page. I was looking up something for him and noticed someone had placed a line about as a child he was known for sexual acts and raping but is now known for his alcoholic behavior. I deleted that, you put it back up, and I re deleted it. Just wanted to let you know since you had asked if we revert one of your actions to let you know. Thanks

Blocking IP users
I am confused by the blocking policy. I thought it was policy to post a block notice on user talk pages, especially IP users as a different user logging in using that IP may have no idea what a block log is and seeing only a final notice might not understand why edits are being block or for how long they will be blocked.

Van Resistance
I don't wish to start an edit war, but Atilim Borlu has added massive amounts of information irrelevant to the article. He/She has done this without any consensus on the talk page. I feel this has bogged down the article and diverted it from what it should say. A small example of the information added by Atilim Borlu;

"The Persian Campaign Autumn of 1914; Theodore G. Chernozubov and his Persian Cossack Brigade has been in the region since 1906. General Tovmas Nazarbekian was transferred to the Region. Out of the 20,000 Armenian volunteers who responded to the early call (1914), only 7,000 were given arms at the time, because the Russian authorities distributed 24,000 rifles to the Kurds in Persia and in the district of Van. The Russians forces in Persia, not counting indegionious Persian Cossack Brigade, had only one brigade of Russian troops under the command of General Nazarbekoff and one battalion of Armenian volunteers scattered throughout Salmast and Urmia. On December 11, 1914, Ottoman preparation for the Persian Campaign began with the Enver Pasha's order to form of a provisional force. I Expeditionary Force (XI Corps before war) assigned to Chief of Intelligence Lieutenant Colonel Kazim Bey (later Lieutenant General Kazim Karabekir). This force was structurally self sufficient, capable of independent operations, and supplemanted with the 7 and 9th Infantry Regiments, a cavalry detachment, a field hospital, a transportation unit, and an intelligence section, a mountain howitzer battalion of two batteries, a telegraph section, a field batery, equipment repair battalion, a replacement depot and transportation assets. Before even reached to the operational zone, it was bombarded by the British Royal Navy at Aleppo and suffered its first war casualties. On its way, the original plan scraped and it assigned to the Third Army on January 10 because of the disasterous battle of Sarikamis. For the Ottoman Empire Persian Campaign began without I Expeditionary Force. The only force available, and even remotely near the Persian frontier, was the Van Jandarma Division. This paramilitary formation was lightly equipped with artillery and machineguns, and was only suited for internal security functions, rather than for an invasion of a neighboring country. Van Jandarma Division assumed the role of keeping the road to Persia open (or vice versa for the Russians), which pass through the Kotour valley (Kotur Pass). Van Jandarma Division assumed it's role on December 1914. I Expeditionary force would arrive in the vicinity of the city of Van on March 23, 1915." Your thoughts??

Possible Vandal
Hey, I've been checking my past contributions (many of which were edited out..) but I noticed someone deleting and editing (through an IP address) with little to no justification behind the matter.

Question about revert notices
Hello! I have a question. When an editor reverts and edit that is obvious vandalism, is that editor required to put a notification on the talk page of the reverted editor or ip? In most cases I do not, unless the vandalism is truelly horribly and not stopping. I usually only revert vandalism by IP also, if that matters. I just want to make sure I am not breaking any policy in my actions. I have been doing it this way for as long as I have been here, but it just occurred to me that perhaps that is wrong way to do it. Thanks Charles Edward (Talk) 18:32, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No, you are not required to, but it is best to do so. Leaving warnings lets other editors know that an IP or user account has vandalized, so they can increase the severity of the warning, or report/block them, if necessary.

Question
Hi. :) Do you know who I'd go to talk to about the text box that appears when you start to edit a new article? A user has proposed an addition to it at my talk page, and it sounds like it would be worth pursuing. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:22, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be MediaWiki:Newarticletext. It has different formatting for different namespaces, so it doesn't look like what you think it does. Anyways, there's already a note underneath the "save page" button that says " Do not copy text from other websites without a GFDL-compatible license. It will be deleted.

 * I don't either. My thought is that making it up front and forward might lead people to actually notice it. It's disheartening to me how much copyright infringement makes its way onto Wikipedia. :/ I'm currently in a huge clean-up job on the infringement of one editor in my sandbox (I link because I think it's kind of jaw-dropping how long this has been going on. Or was going on. He's indefinitely blocked at the moment.) While cleaning one of his infringements, I've found out that the article he was adding it onto was already a copyright violation. Crazy! I don't get how people can think it's okay to just paste stuff here from other sources. I do understand when people try to rewrite, but don't grok how much rewriting is necessary. But just pasting? Thanks for telling me where to find it. I'll take a look and figure out if there's a good place to bring it up for discussion. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:15, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

This is the name of the goddess of love and beauty in Norse mythology. She claimed half of the heroes who were slain in battle and brought them to her realm in Asgard. It is an extrodinary name which is often used as british. My sister is called freya.By Georgia."

Anyhow, I'm a Wiki noob, but I thought to see that this text first appeared in your edit :/

Hi, he blanked the page after I blanked his text to make it into a redirect - I think he was trying to write a new version of an article, but hadn't found userspace yet. I've copied it into userspace for him, and given him a welcome box to help him. I don't think that what he was doing, or trying to do, was vandalism. DuncanHill (talk) 23:30, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Retaliatory reverts
As you know, Grawp sleepers make minor "edits" to break through the autoconfirmed wall. While this would seem harmless-the page moves are more focussed upon-would they not seem to be a form of less obvious vandalism in some cases? In the end, unnoticeable vandalism anywhere is worse than what is easy to spot. It seems that there are retaliatory reverts by Grawp ips in response when one tries to undo/revert the sleeper's contribs. In general, it would probably be best for everyone to simply be more diligent with this. Also, perhaps a form of protection might be in order? ~ Troy (talk) 00:35, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi
Dear, dear, J.delanoy. Don't you have anything better to do besides mindlessly staring at your computer screen? Do you really use that program every single day because of your freetime? What if Huggle never existed? What would you be doing then, huh? You are getting these huge number of edits based off your gazing at the computer. Do you really consider yourself sort of a bot on Wikipedia? Do you have any friends? Perhaps you could be watching a movie or downloading pictures or even hanging out. But even if you did, do you really need to bring that laptop and mindlessly revert every day? Seriously, find other things to do. Thank you.


 * At least you could definitely say that the vandals don't have a life more than the hugglers. :-p -- Menti  fisto  04:55, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't say for certain what I would be doing. Most likely, I would be playing video games or something. I use Huggle because I enjoy it, and since I am studying computer science in college, staring at a computer screen is likely to be an integral part of the vast majority of my life. The future is affected by the present, and the present is affected by the past. The decisions we made yesterday set up the events of today, which in turn shape tomorrow. But, to paraphrase C. S. Lewis in The Last Battle, "No one is ever told what would have happened." J.delanoy <sup style="color:red;">gabs <sub style="color:blue;">adds  05:01, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey there. I was looking around at the Nile Delta page and noticed that it had been significantly vandalised by User:218.185.0.82 (contribs), which I reverted. On User_talk:218.185.0.82 I would normally just give out a vand notice, but you gave him a "last warning" a few days ago. What's the deal with blocking him now? Would you handle it? Thanks, -M.Nelson (talk) 04:56, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Jennifer Schomaker - help!
Hi J & thanks for stepping in on my talk page & replying to Jennifer. The article possibly now qualifies for a G7 speedy, however it is not absolutely clear cut that the original author could be considered the "only" author and I am a bit to involved to make a final decision. I've left a comment on the AFD with the diffs so if you (or one of your TPSs) had a moment could you take a look and delete/close if you think appropriate. I would normally just let the AFD run but it's clear that Jennifer is (understandably) a bit upset about the whole thing. Thanks a million, kind regards Nancy  talk  09:01, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I G7'ed it, although I'm not 100% certain that the other edits to the page were considered "insignificant". If either of the other two people who edited the article (other than to tag it for deletion) would like to contest the deletion, I will happily undelete the article and re-open the AfD.

Seond Amendment Reverts
I attempted to make a number of deletions of biased material from the Second Amendment article backed up by a book from Saul Cornel. The book in question is pro gun control and before its writting and printing he received $400,000 from a gun cotrol advocacy group. In my book getting $400,000 to push the gun control paty line makes it propaganda and not unbiased neutral mateial. Wiki policey agrees.

Please check Second Amendment discussion page to confirm accusation of bias in the author of deleted material. Check links provided in the discussion page for Confirmation. Also notice long wait from time of accusation to time material was removed supporting good faith efforts to satisfy any objection to the removal. Also notice all objections were in bad faith, one from a user who later hacked another bias issue to hide additional ties from this author to that gun control advocacy group and the other objection being plainy bogus.

For the minor edit - check the source article link to confirm case was not Second Amendment. By stating that the objection on Second Amendment grounds was "reserved" the judge is saying it was not "made",and hes NOT dealing/considering/ruling on it. It's legaleze but that is what the judge means.

Upon confirmation please revert your reversions.141.154.110.173 (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Problematic editor - suggestions?
Howdy, JD. How might best be guided towards coöperative participation? There've been one or two good additions, but mostly bizarre, random and/or abstruse entries on various talk pages, moving or copying entire blocks of text from one talk page to another, and repeated removals of valid templates (e.g. 1, 2). I've put appropriate and sequential warnings on his/her talk page in case it becomes necessary to put in for a block, but to try and avoid that I have also repeatedly tried to engage and coach this user (e.g. here, here, and here), with no success. I think English is not this user's first language, or perhaps there's some other impediment to effective communication. Have you any suggestions for how best to deal with an editor such as this?

Ghostwriter
Why the revert? Of the three changes made, one was a non-controversial elaboration of the legislative correspondence process, another was a removal of John McCain's book from the list of ghostwritten books (the change was documented and justified in the talk page) and the third was citation requests for assertions that Presidents Reagan and Kennedy had used ghostwriters.

Lasers for Wireless Electricity Transmission
Advantages of Lasers for Wireless Electricity Transmission is a long pending discussion on the WET talk page. I think this is a great and sound technology to provide wireless power at large distances. Please counter as to why this is not so?
 * Umm, what? J.delanoy <sup style="color:red;">gabs <sub style="color:blue;">adds  05:04, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Dear J.delanoy, The understanding of Lasers and Photo-detectors is based upon the Modern Quantum Mechanics. Both these phenomenon are not explainable using classical Electromagnetic theory. All of the other methods of Wireless Energy Transfer are based upon methods and techniques that lie within the framework of classical theory. It is quite hard for most people to grasp the principles of Quantum Mechanics which is observable only at the micro-matter level in nature. Or with experiments not common in nature. But, application of Quantum Mechanics always produces true real world result. The technology of using Lasers and photo-detectors for Wireless Energy Transfer is one such sound and clear application of Modern Physics. Could you please provide details on why you thought that "advantage of Lasers" is inappropriate for Wireless Energy Transfer page.


 * To add my two penn'orth-- I didn't see that section but I am not sure I agree with you. I work for a molevular modelling company writing computer software (www.accelrys.com) I do kinda know vaguely what you are on about. Lasers are not really part of quantum theory at all and quite well be described by classical physics, at least in the most part. I suppose if you go below atom level you would need quantum theory but not before then. The little buggers just bash off the walls of the glass and can't get out, not hard to describe physically.


 * BTW I have worked with laser and fibre optic guided weapon systems I am no expert but do vaguely know what I am on about.
 * I meant that I have no idea why you are telling me this. J.delanoy <sup style="color:red;">gabs <sub style="color:blue;">adds  14:43, 22 February 2009 (UTC)


 * That's good to know that you are closely linked with technology and science.

My main motivation comes because of recent highlight on Wireless Power sector. Most companies are trying to transfer energy wirelessly using methods of Electromagnetic induction and resonance that are quite straight out of Maxwell's equations. However, in Maxwell's equation there is no provision for band-gap in atoms upon which the whole concept of Lasers is based. Also photo-detectors would have to work independent of wavelengtha dn material of choice if it was not for Quantum theory. The concept of light quanta or photon is typically attributed to Modern Physics.

I wasn't sure if you blocked this user due to my mistaken warning on the AIV page before I could remove it. Upon further investigation, the comment that I reverted (admittedly with Huggle) was just an angry reply to a good faith edit that was reverted by another editor on South Park Mexican. Although, looking at his other contribs, it seems that all of his other edits today were indeed vandalism, so the AIV warning was probably needed, just not the particular edit that i warned about...

I intend to write some kind of plot summary, sort out the summaries in the other 2 (which look like copypaste), get a picture for this novel...sort the whole thing out. I've already fixed up David Wyatt.

I'm trying hard to improve the project here - I am in no way connected with the books, I hadn't heard of the things until earlier today when a fairly weak attempt at creating David Wyatt was speedied, and I decided to try and make a good job of it.

There's no advertizing at all going on here; just trying to get these books properly represented.

So...can I have the page back please, so I can get on with sorting the mess out?

 * Well, the only content in that page's deleted history was by User:XXRonaldo007XX, and it consists of a copyright violation and a link to the copyright violation.

I fail to understand why you reverted all my edits, which were explained as best I could, on the basis that I had not explained them, and wrote this on my talk page, without commenting on the talk page of the article, as asked. I have not noticed your contributions to the talk page there - but I would be much happier discussing things there. 93.96.148.42 (talk) 00:18, 25 February 2009 (UTC) Thank you for your swift response. I would be most grateful if you could help to enlarge and correct this article.93.96.148.42 (talk) 00:29, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

i left an edit summary
i left an edit summary before, explaining my action. i was reverted and accused of not leaving an explanation. i reverted him and explanined that i had an edit summary, it happened again, with the user totally ignoring the fact when i left a note on his talk page162.84.134.46 (talk) 00:30, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * "I used an edit summary" does not give you a carte blanche to unilaterally remove large sections of encyclopedic, cited text at a whim. Please discuss on the talk page first. J.delanoy <sup style="color:red;">gabs <sub style="color:blue;">adds  00:34, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * that doesnt give the right for users to accuse me of not explaining either, instead of trying to talk properly and figure out whats wrong, and explain.
 * just because something is cited doesnt mean its encyclopedic. it reads more like the anthropological sectiosn of encyclopedia britiannicca in the 19th century, as it treated africans more like zoo specimens than humans —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.84.134.46 (talk) 00:42, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No it does not. It is a critical analysis of the physical characteristics of a specific group of humans. If you deny that there are distinct differences between what used to be termed races, you are either blind or are willfully ignoring your eyesight. And, as the text is neutral, well-written, and cited, the onus is on you to explain why the text should not be included, not the other way around.

 * Hi J.delanoy, I think above user is referring to me. I did leave the user a template message but I didn't accuse user of not leaving an edit summary.
 * Part of the template message says ‘please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary.’, which is not quite the same.
 * The IP user then left me a message on my talk page, to which I responded. Unfortunately it has resulted in this

Huggle-based comment
Your use of Huggle to revert some changes to Pigeon (Pushing Daisies) was a mistake. Feel free to review the history of that article's edit changes if you disagree with my assessment. Thanks. 72.244.203.122 (talk) 01:13, 25 February 2009 (UTC).

Reverting
Please slow down and check your reverts. I've had to go through a few of your reverts which still had vandalism, and we all know we have to get almost all of it out, do we not? ;) Thank you, and keep fighting those vandals! Renaissancee (talk) 01:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Rollback rights
You are listed as one willing to give rollbacker rights. I frequently see your edits, and as most others looking at recent changes you use Huggle. I'm requesting rollbacker to be able to use that tool as well. I try to be careful but have made mistakes. When I do I try not to repeat them but instead learn from them. Thanks for your consideration. Jackfork (talk) 03:15, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

good work
Hey J. Since you were out "Huggleing" my Twinkle today - figured I'd just go edit a stub. Anyway, wanted to drop back and leave one bit of bling for your collection, sooo ... pick your poison, and I'll stop back later and ~|sign it later. Good work (as usual) — Ched (talk) 17:20, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you :-) I don't really have a preference, and in any case I feel weird picking out my own barnstar. So if you want, just choose whatever seems appropriate to you. J.delanoy <sup style="color:red;">gabs <sub style="color:blue;">adds  19:04, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism
Just got your message, although it was not me that did the vandalism. This is a shared IP for Nottingham's University's SNS as the talk page says. --128.243.253.113 (talk) 20:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Seventh Day Adventist Sabbath Activities
Saying that if you follow the Bible you should stay home on Sabbath is not vandalism....it's what the Bible says! It also say shortly behind the Ten Commandments, and will the same intent to be followed, that a man who rapes a virgin has a new wife....look it up! Here's the thing: they, like every other religion, pick and choose what they want to follow and what bits maybe don't need to be adhered to. What makes the SDA different is that they are dead sure they have it right and while other religions are tolerated the SDA doesn't really think they're following God's will. If the SDA'ers are going to say "By the bible alone" then live like it and stop being hypocrites of the first order. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.93.10.78 (talk) 21:42, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Oh, by the way - one part of a previous post was a serious question - does it help to put the IPvandal tag on an IP talk page when they get up to the 4th warning? I couldn't find anything that said not to, but I know when I do the AIV report, it's there to - so maybe it's redundant.  Just curious. — Ched (talk) 00:01, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

By successful, of course, I mean that the page is no longer with us. (takes off hat) I don't know if the speedy tags were removed and then prodded or something. Hope that helps.

Block this IP?
Special:Contributions/66.99.186.2 has vandalized numerous articles and has been warned up to a last warning. I was going to leave a warning after their last edit to Lois Griffin until I saw that you had just left a warning that disregarded the "Last Warning". Can you not block this IP because it may be shared by multiple users? Belasted (talk) 18:32, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The warning from 10 days ago was a little stale, maybe that's why. But a block would've been fine too. – xeno  ( talk ) 19:12, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

WP:Vandalism-only account
I was wondering why you still enter "Vandalism-only account" in the block reason field for vandalism-only accounts rather than "Vandalism-only account". The reason why I created that page was to provide a better page for administrators to explain the reason for their block of such accounts. I'm sure that anyone who reads the reason you blocked a vandalism-only account would rather see a link to Vandalism-only account instead of  Vandalism. By the way, I also created User pages of indefinitely blocked users, and you may want to improve that page. -- IRP ☎ 21:19, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

MLB 2K9
Hey J. delanoy,

I edited the page because I was frustrated, and I didn't want it to be an act of vandalism, but an eye opener.

I own MLB 2K8 for the Nintendo Wii. We, as Wii owners, were promised certain things like updated rosters by 2k Sports. One of the admins said he wasn't even AWARE that the console could go online, let alone put downloadable content up for it.

I felt like this was a slap in the face to us, who, because of hard times, the idea Nintendo has with the Wiimote, or whatever, bought a WII and no other console.

It's been able to get online since day one, the Wii Wikipedia article itself says so.

And I want the public to know that 2k Sports is really stupid when it comes to the Wii verison and to watch out for it, since they're going to have to spend $50 when it first comes out, and if they were ignorant to the previous installment, and lack of support, they may want to buy it for another console, like their PC. Or, boycott 2k Sports altogether and hope that EA takes the MLB license back sometime.

SO if I could, can I mention that anywhere in that article in a constructive way that would benefit more than just 2k Sports?

Sincerely,

One shamed geek by 2k Sports —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.180.147.19 (talk) 21:39, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
