User talk:Mrtobacco

mrtobacco, i noticed vandalism over on the page entitled 'doggystyle' from a user you warned earlier. i wanted to tell you about it so you can deal with the situation. thanks, Infraredeclipse 19:47, 1 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Mrtobacco, I am interested in that story at Bambu about the alleged carcinogen scandal, however I can't read Spanish. Did you realize that the link isn't in English?  I don't feel that is much appropriate for English Wikipedia, although I suppose it's preferred over no source at all.  Also, when I did a Google search, I found no information related to such a scandal involving Smoking in Spain and adding carcinogens to their product.  Additionally, I have added a new category to the article.  If you feel that "cannabis" and "tobacco" are relevant, please add them to the article rolling papers.  Thanks.  -  GilliamJF 18:52, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry that you no comprende but my wife is Mexican so I've learned quite a bit in the past 25 years!! In terms of confirming the Bambu/Smoking thing I have read 5 articles so far and all say the same thing dude.

And there is a lot more out there too. I think the problem is "Esparto" which causes like "Esparto gas" which is possibly filled with toxins. I've never heard of anyone using Esparto in their paper before. Usually it's flax, hemp, rice, and pulp. Here is something from 1996 in Spain that says Esparto causes problems; http://www.amat.es/convenio/circulares/2003/DICIEMBRE/CIRCULAR%20N%C2%BA%20114-03/Circular%20n%C2%BA%20114-03.pdf


 * Well, thanks for the further information. What a strange story it is.  And the executives at Smoking are facing possible time in prison?  I was abroad in Europe and often bought Smoking brand products (extra wide papers) while there.  Wow, it's just such a bizzare story.  -  GilliamJF 22:34, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Page protection
Hi Mrtobacco. I removed the sprotect tag from Rolling papers because the tag is only really used by admins after a page has been protected. Adding the tag before protection is usually counter-productive. If you want to request page protection, either list the page at WP:RPP, or contact an admin such as User:Heah who offered to protect it above. -- zzuuzz (talk) 09:17, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Reverted Again
I read your post on the Sprotect and see what you are talking about. I reverted the Vandalism you mentioned back to your original versions. Good Luck ! --66.38.129.154 20:29, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Looking to Trade
Anyone know where I can trade for some more Camel Brand rolling papers? I need the new 2006 style pack for my collection!

lost society
hiya. well, semi-protection isn't really justified unless it's happening a few times a day. otherwise it's best just to revert him; right now it's like once a week. -- he ah  18:51, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Blunts
That wasn't a quote from me, I was reverting someones deletion of it due to the reasoning they used in the edit summary. If you want to remove it because of a lack of references, please do so. ReverendG 17:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Blocking vandals
I'm afraid the blocking policy requires at least three warnings and then vandalism after a final warning. I can't block somebody who only appears to have edited twice. Sorry. TimVickers 01:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Editing the page Camel (cigarette)
I noticed in one of your edit summaries that you say you work for the company that makes these cigarettes. Because of that, I'd like to remind you to be careful to remain completely neutral when editing Camel (cigarette). Remember, Wikipedia is not for advertising, and it should not favor any side. Therefore, it might be a good idea to limit yourself when editing the article and only do things such as copyediting, or at least not make any major changes to the article. Pyrospirit Flames  Fire 16:35, 5 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I understand and I only wanted to correct some minor points. If you review my edits you will see that they are unbiased, at least in my biased opinion :)  --Mrtobacco 00:33, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

(Cleaned up June 14, 2007) dispute

Please stop putting up that info about Miguel Y Costas. It's very prejudicial and I think it's unfair to post that information.

--Joshmann 14:59, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Josh, you really should not be writing on Wiki about any of these items. You are in the industry and I think it is extremely biased for the US Dist of that company to be taking down text or writing anything at all regarding products that your company sells! Be reasonable/realistic. --Mrtobacco 17:12, 13 June 2007 (UTC) :)

Your dispute with Onyx86
I have removed both of your requests, as both of you are not obvious vandals. Feel free to discuss it at WP:ANI, in the correct section at the bottom.  bibliomaniac 1  5  Join or die! 17:31, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Reply
user talk:h2g2bob/Archive 2. I don't think I;ve made any attacks on you, but if I did I apologise.

My part in this was to blank the page User:Highway420 and give a strong warning to against creating attack pages. I also tagged clear rolling papers with ActiveDiscuss. I also explained my edits to.

I really don't see where I've attacked you, but again apologies if I did. --h2g2bob (talk) 18:19, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Re:Question for you..
user talk:h2g2bob/Archive 2. I don't really mind, but it did seem a bit out of place in the article, and fit better into bambu. But copy or move it back if you think it's best. By the way, do you know any other sources for that story - I had a (very) brief glance when I moved it but couldn't spot any. Just wondering what the outcome was (did it go to trial?) Just curiosity more than anything. --h2g2bob (talk) 16:13, 16 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Wow, that's quite a few links! Thanks for filling me in - I'll have to read through them more properly when I have a few minutes to spare. --h2g2bob (talk) 20:44, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Hazing
It's hard for me to continue posting on Wiki given that many of my posts are deleted by anti-tobacco / anti-smoking people (see my history of fighting on Tobacco and Tobacco Smoking). I am also constantly being attacked and accused by people who I feel (and sometimes they even admit) work for various tobacco companies and are angry at me for posting information that is either positive about their competitors or negative about their own products. In the most recent case, a person who works for a competitor of a brand I wrote positively about has really gone over an above - going so far as to file a COI complaint against me. This user admits openly that he works for that company. If anyone has any help they can offer in terms of what to do in this scenario please let me know. I'm tired of fighting with these people. I don't think my posts on Tobacco are too "pro-tobacco" and my other posts are not adlike - if you disagree please lmk...

Speedy deletion
Hi. I noticed the template on the talk page. Unfortunatly the page does not qualify because it is not a template. When I get home today, I'll go thru the talk page and refactor as needed according to talk page guidelines. Is this acceptable to you? M er cury   16:28, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Mandy, the page needed to go, it had profanity in it and was full of paid-for-posts by a sock puppet. He's one of the best sp's I've ever seen but he mistakenly admitted he sells cocaine grinders and crack pipes, then tried to take that back and change the topic.  Wierd I know but I'm kind of icked out by the guy and after reading his history I think you'll agree. In classic (funny to say Classic b/c he sp's for a company called Classic) style he accuses others and never answers any of the questions asked, just keeps attacking and attacking and attacking. You and I are not paid to do this, so we have to realize that someone who is paid is going to put a lot more effort and time into attacks and lies then we ever would.  It's sad that sp's are here, all we can do is avoid them and remove their posts even when they do their absolute darndest to egg us on.  A conversation with a sock puppet such as Onyx86 is like talking to a computer.  There is no way to converse because we expel effort while they don't (the more we talk to them, the more they get paid to respond - the only way to stop the cycle is to stop talking to them - which they will then freak out about and do their best to get you talking again or they don't get paid)...  so you can darn well bet the sock puppet will really freak out now - don't let him egg you on either :)  --Mrtobacco 16:42, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Mediation
From your comments on the mediation page... Are you still wanting mediation? M er cury   12:31, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Nah - there isn't anything to mediate. The actual page he claimed to be upset about was fixed (by me) a while ago. I think it's best to ignore the sock puppet. However I do ask that you allow the archived conversation with the sock puppet to be speedied since there is profanity on the page and many personal attacks.  Some of it I don't understand (the puppet's posts) but some of it I do understand - and I think it should all be removed don't you? --Mrtobacco 14:47, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Archive link
Please do not remove the link to the archive from Talk:RAW (rolling_paper). These links are necessary so that other users can see past discussion that may or may not be relevant to current issues on the article. Metros 20:20, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * sorry it meets Wiki deletion standards, it was an attack by an admitted sock puppet working for a small company that imports illegal merchandise and gets very angry (strange but true), check the history of it.--Put that in your pipe and smoke it 20:29, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Ad Text for Smoking Rolling Papers?
IMO the text you put up for Smoking rolling papers is too ad-like and sounds promotional. I have tagged the article as an ad. Please do not remove the tag and use the talk page to discuss. --Nahome 18:30, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I must be the worst writer on earth, I have been accused of this so many times it's not worth me replying anymore. Edit the page as you wish, I don't want to be involved in the rolling paper brands sub pages at all anymore. Not worth the effort. --Put that in your pipe and smoke it 20:54, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Jobberi.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Jobberi.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 20:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Bugler (tobacco)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Bugler (tobacco), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of Bugler (tobacco). neon white user page talk 01:17, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. neon white user page talk 17:53, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. -- neon white user page talk 00:59, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Pay pay.gif
Thank you for uploading Image:Pay pay.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 15:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Raw (rolling paper)


A tag has been placed on Raw (rolling paper) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. MoreLessLEI (talk) 21:12, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Abadie-papers.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Abadie-papers.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION : This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 03:00, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:TRIPltd.jpg


The file File:TRIPltd.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "unused, low-res, no obvious use"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
