User:Tosses
This user is removing material repeatedly in economic history of China (pre-1911) and Chinese armies (pre-1911) with claims like "it's the truth" and publications like the economist are "unreliable". Can you deal with this? Thanks. The user is also engaged in an edit war on the article Jews. Teeninvestor (talk) 22:07, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

FAC notifications
You need to be aware of which archive the FAC is on, because the template defaults to archive1. For your notifications for the new FAC on Battle of Bardia, that FAC is archive2, so you need to go back in and manually fix them because currently you have announced the opening of an unsuccessful prior FAC. -MBK004 22:07, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

I have fixed the issue on the talk page about it having no citations or sources. By the way, I had to re-write the article to eliminate a copy-vio. Please could you re-grade this?

Revision to Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri articles
I noticed that you have revised either Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri or Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire.

I intend to revise those articles following the WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. There are more details on the discussion pages of those articles. I'd be interested in any comments you have. It would be best if your comments were on the discussion pages of the two articles.

Thank you.

Phillip Stallwood
why did you delete my article on Phillip Stallwood ?? I had only just started it. He is a respected musician here in Oman and deserves inclusion.

Please reinstate the article

2010 Central Canada earthquake
I think the inexplicably removed content occurred when Brucerawrz (now blocked from editing and creating sock-puppet accounts) made multiple abusive edits one after another. I was the first one to encounter this vandal and I think my revert took care of both disruptive edits, but it appears when Sandahl reviewed the following abusive edit that perhaps one abusive edit somehow stayed in, keeping some information (which you readded) from being readded to the article.

Fortunately, the vandal is gone now...and it appears the cleanup is done. =) Also, I'm in Ontario, but apparently we didn't feel the quake in my area of the province (closer to the Michigan border).  CycloneGU (talk) 04:05, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * That must be it. Thanks for the heads up, after a quick look at the history, the cause is clear. This edit was made by ArchibolCunningham, but when Sandahl rollbacked the vandalism edits of Brucerawrz, this also automatically accepted that edit by ArchibolCunningham in question. Perhaps this is an undesirable feature of pending changes. And I wouldn't be surprised that your area didn't feel it, since several of my friends in Ottawa didn't feel the quake and they were by the epicentre. --Patar knight - chat/contributions 04:17, 24 June 2010 (UTC)


 * That's curious that your friends in Ottawa didn't feel it since some in Toronto felt it, about 300-400 km away. I have heard some American areas claim they felt it as well (Massachusetts?  Seriously?  Must be fake...).


 * And yes...ArchibolCunningham actually made the same edit revisions after the initial user was blocked. He did it three times, so after I posted a new msg. to Sandahl about ArchibolCunningham, the three revert warning went over to the respective talk page.  It looks like he's stopped, at least for now.  CycloneGU (talk) 05:03, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Request to be allowed to respond on GAN for econ history of China/other articles, with restrictions
Several recent edits to articles I used to edit heavily have drastically decreased the article content quality 12 3 this one is particularly outrageous. I request to be allowed to respond on said article with 1RR and perhaps other restrictions (related to said articles). If you turn down my request, I request that other editors be contacted of this; the decline in article quality is truly astounding. In addition, I requested said user be required to avoid interaction with me on other articles as he seems to be purposely provoking contact with edits such as this. 1. Please respond quickly.Teeninvestor (talk) 16:52, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Teeninvestor's promise to "address the issues" at RfC
In order evade a restriction here which explicitly preserved Teeninvestor's participation in the RfC, Teeninvestor crafted a sentence which you posted at AN/I:
 * "I promise to   respect this proposal, stop interacting with GPM, and to    address the issues involved in my RFC such as use of sources, NPOV, etc."

The edit history for the RfC here shows that Teeninvestor has indeed invested time in adding to the RfC. However, there is no evidence of fulfilling a promise to address issues which were made clear in July. In the absence of specific diffs, the so-called "promise" is a sham. This becomes a significant factor in decision-making about potential remedies. If Teeninvestor made good on a modest promise, it could be seen as a good step in a constructive direction. --Tenmei (talk) 02:06, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of Yeshiyah Amariel page
Patar why did you delete this page? The perceived views of those stating delete in the last few lines were motivated by Diego Grez to do so and violated meat puppetry.... I'm current starting harassment claims against each... including Grez. You have offered no reason for the decision and there was much more to debate... I ask that you undo your deletion as soon as possible of this page so that the discussion can continue...--Yeshiyah (talk) 21:33, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Because there was a clear consensus to do so. There is absolutely no evidence of a WP:CANVASS violation as far as I can tell (from a quick lookover of his user-talk contributions, and certainly no violation of WP:MEAT. Yes, they supported the same idea, but that's not what meatpuppetry is. They were not random users brought in by canvassing (debunked), nor were they brought in from other sites. They were all well established, with respectively 30k+ edits, 19k+ edits, 24k+ edits, 12k+edits, and nearly 1k edits. So it's been established that they're not coming from offsite. I see no evidence of wrongdoing, and in fact the only thing even mildly suspicious in this is that User:Prestonpayne supported your side of the AfD with his first edit.
 * I would strong suggest not filing harassment claims against each and every one of them. That would come off as very sour grapes and on your part, and would be of no help to yourself. Also, using such forceful language as "I suggest that you undo..." doesn't help you out either. Struck, user immediately reworded.--Patar knight - chat/contributions 21:57, 24 August 2010 (UTC) The reason for my deletion should be self-evident: that I found the arguments for deletion (i.e. no independent reliable coverage) stronger than the arguments for keeping the article. If you want to protest, the correct venue is WP:DRV, where there are instructions for filing a deletion review. --Patar knight - chat/contributions 21:53, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

I don't see saying "I suggest" as forceful rather an expression of my opinion. Secondly, although each editor involved in this discussion do have many edits on wikipedia and are very much established... it doesn't take away from the actions I have witness from them over the last few weeks before and during the discussion for deletion of this page... some are Wikihounding me over every edit I do. Third, I was on the WikiNews chat page last week when Grez posted how sick he was of how my page is still here and posted a link to his friends to visit against it... the other post on the COI page that he made yesterday is just another one he made on Wikipedia... Yeshiyah (talk) 23:09, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
 * It's the internet. Things get misinterpreted very easily. Having "I suggest" after revealing to me that you're planning on accusing everyone who opposed you on that AfD of harassment, was at best, not helpful in getting the right mood across to me. I showed their "establishment" very much so to show that these weren't new start-up accounts created by people Diego Grez had contacted elsewhere in the internet. From what I've gleamed from Wikinews, while Diego Grez may have been harsh in his wording, he seems to have been within policy. Mind you, I'm not an admin there, so I can't see deleted pages, and I'm not too familiar with local policy, but even the local Wikinews consensus seemed to be against you. Can you provide diffs to these actions which you speak of? It would make it much easier to assess your claims of harassment and thus determine their validity. --Patar knight - chat/contributions 23:40, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
