Official thanks, slightly delayed due to post-RfA crash (who knew?)
  Tapadh Leibh (Thank You)...  ...for helping me navigate the waters of my surprisingly peaceful  RFA, which closed successfully with 85 supports, 1 oppose, and 0 neutral.

I would particularly like to thank Acalamari and Alison, my nominators, and everyone who watched the page and ran the tally.

If you hate RfA thankspam, please forgive me. I promise I won't block you in retaliation for deleting it ;-)

If there is anything I can do to be of service in the future, please feel free to contact me.

And forgive me if I need a Wikibreak now and then (like now. I'm exhausted!). You wouldn’t want to see me climbing the Reichstag, now would you?

Rollback
Hello SJP, I have granted rollback rights for your account. The reason for this is that you are an effective vandal-fighter, and know the difference between a good-faith edit and vandalism. I know that you will not abuse rollback. If you don't want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck. Acalamari 04:06, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. :) It's a recently implemented feature. Acalamari 02:40, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I'm not: administrators have recently been given the ability to grant rollback, but making people admins, renaming users, and flagging bots is still a bureaucrat job, and I'm not a bureaucrat. Acalamari 17:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Za Ze Zo on optimizerone page - deletions were reverted back into effect
Please leave removed. There will be no more Za Ze Zo more page contributions from me. It was listed on DMOZ which was the first external reference link on metasearch engines wiki page, so I didn't want to duplicate that information with an external link on the Za Za Zo page, and it was already notable because of that external reference link's contents. The only reason I created the original ZAZEZO page was because I came to Wiki to find out about it, and I was amazed to find out there was no information on it. I created a template with "history" missing, as that's what I was looking for. I think some peoples views on notability in this case has hindered a worthwhile page and wasted my time and effort. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Optimizerone (talk • contribs) 19:35, 5 April 2008 (UTC) --Optimizerone (talk) 19:49, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello SJP and welcome back. Well, I guess not much has changed since November. Indeed, non-admins are now able to get the rollback tool (in a move that stirred some controversy).

attempts to stifle truthful reporting on WP
HI SJP, An article that I created on WP - Letter of British Jews on 60th anniversary of Israel - has caught the ire of the gatekeepers and intimdators whose main purpose it to control what people are allowed to read and hear about. Can you joint the discussion here - Articles for deletion/Letter of British Jews on 60th anniversary of Israel? thanks, SelfEvidentTruths (talk) 14:52, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

That article was not AfD'd. . . it was prodded. As I understand it, a prod can be removed by anyone as long as the movie is shown to be notable. 70.186.172.75 (talk) 19:21, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No prob dude. I know vandals are a big prob and jumping the gun is understandable. If you really think the article needs to be zorched, take it to AfD, but i think there is a difference between patent nonsense and a badly written article. The film in question is mildly notable and the author of the article doesn't seem to know English that well, but it may be salvageable. Anyway, take care. 70.186.172.75 (talk) 11:27, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Temazepam reverts, vandalism
Please will you not revert my edits as vandalism. I have over several weeks proofread the article against its references and corrected numerous factual inaccuracies and misrepresentation. Reference not saying what article cites, reference being about something else, reference being about a different substance. I have worked severela weeks to correct these errors and remove erroneous materials. TheGoodson and Literaturegeek have reverted my edits as a block, the work of several weeks, without a single word of discussion or considerations for the reasons given. How do you arrive at vandalism? 70.137.137.130 (talk) 19:09, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

What you see there is the cumulative effect of many edits. I did a proofreading against the references and removed references which were the evening news, newspaper articles, a BBC film report, a leaflet for school children, some bestseller books, investigational journalism. Also I removed several references where the reference itself doesn't state a fact as own result but merely cites another reference as a side note. In these cases I asked for the original reference, such that I can proofread the citation. Also I removed reference to "a british study says", where no pointer to such study is included as unreferenced material. This is hearsay, as long as not properly referenced. Also I removed numerous references, where the reference was not about temazepam, but another substance, didn't even mention temazepam, was misrepresented. To the point that the article was about "effects of flurazepam", but included as a reference "effects of temazepam" We have to be a little precise in our references. Then I removed anecdotal references, where some braindamage was found in a patient, who had abused nitrazepam. The doctors had not seen him before the abuse. The article was represented as "braindamage from temazepam". Furthermore I removed references, where the reference mentions the claims of the article with no word, and is about something unrelated. You have seen the cumulative effect of my dozens of edits, which really consolidate the article. Yes it removes "huge amounts" of "referenced materials" and I have in each case explained why. I have not seen a response for weeks, and no contest and no discussion either. I don't intend to do the work a second time. Now my work has been deleted without any consideration of the reasons I included, as a block. I don't let that sit. It is also not a policy that I have do discuss edits before doing them. In fact, edits with a clearly stated reasoning should not be reverted without discussion. I have not seen the authors of the article doing any previous discussion on their edits. They just edit and say its referenced. This is not how WP works. How else do you think it should be done? If the ref says "A" and the article says "B", see ref, shall I discuss it before touching? 70.137.137.130 (talk) 22:29, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your understanding. Now you have seen. In fact they reverted me first after weeks of not responding to any attempts of discussion. You will find the whole long and tedious history in the talk pages of several benzodiazepine articles, look at talk temazepam. So I finally took the effort to go through the references one by one and proofread against them, then doing a series of bold edits. They have now all been reverted, as the original authors didn't want to discuss or comment any of my edits. Then they yelled "vandalism!" and "3rr!" and had me and the article blocked. Now it is as before. This is foul play. Go through my edits please, they are a long list, and see if what I had to say makes sense. You have to open the references indeed by clicking on the PMID, otherwise it appears to be all ok and everybody wonders what I have to complain. Besides I am an old fart and have worked 35 years in R&D, so I know how to do a methodical proof reading. No kidding. 70.137.137.130 (talk) 23:49, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

What you can do now to limit the damage is to undo the revert that has been done to my changes in consequence of a false vandalism alarm. Unfortunately I had the same problem with the same authors before. They just stayed quiet, until I had accumulated enough edit, didn't respond to attempts of discussion. Then they reverted all without comment, and if I reverted back they yelled vandalism and edit war and had the page locked. As the accumulated edit appeared as a large chunk, they were successful selling this as vandalism. Teacher, a vandal deleted huge amounts of scientific referenced material. Then the admins fell for the same illusion as you did. I don't know to whom to complain, but they have blocked any changes to the page in this way. I regard that as foul play. See discussion. 70.137.137.130 (talk) 00:15, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

No, protecting the page was not foul play. But reverting my edits without any discussion 3 times and then yelling vandalism, 3rr and "edit war" and get the admin to believe it is vandalism was foul play. The admin did all ok. Only my edits are now all reverted. This was foul play because I feel it was a misuse of WP policies and vandalism safeguards by the editors who reverted me and then got the admin to intervene. 70.137.137.130 (talk) 00:30, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

How is that nonconstructive editing? it shouldn't have been there really and i was only making that better, as i'm new to it so didn't know what to do, where to go etc, and only really posted to get help.

lol i tried but couldn't prevail, maybe next time mate.

Thanks for the help there mate, appreciate it. As you can see i'm pretty clueless so it should have been the first thing i did. All i'm doing though really is help with whatever i can i suppose, mostly football as it's what i know most about about. There could be a couple of other area's i venture to now and again, but at the moment just the football. I only started really because a couple of things were bugging me lol, as i suppose a few others might have too, but if i can help in any way, then that's all that matters.

al-Aqsa Mosque
I noticed that you have done several edits to this page. I am not sure about how much you know about this subject, but one mistake that I noticed is the following:

al-Aqsa mosque is the whole area that became known as the Noble Sanctuary... The name comes from the Quran before the congregation modque or the Dome of the Rock has ever been built.

Although the name Aqsa mosque is also used to the southern congregation building of the site, it is only because the Imam stands at that corner and this is where the first line of prayer starts.

I have reverted to some old version that I used to think contains more useful information than what is recently presented. Please move your corrections to that section and add useful on top of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.60.190.157 (talk) 01:15, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok....
Ok. After that, to place the userbox somewhere, do I just type User:Tm93/userbox? Tm93 (talk) 07:01, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Here is what I did.
 * Place the text User:(name)/userbox/(name of userbox) somewhere on one of their pages or subpages. Where (name) will be their username.  Where (name of userbox) will be what they want it to be named.
 * Once they save, they will click the redlink. It will take them to a template page that needs to be created.  This is where they type all of the details and graphics of the box.
 * Have them click the "preview" button to make sure it is how they want it to look. If it's not then they can fix it.
 * After that, all they have to do to place the box is to type User:(name)/userbox/(name of userbox) where they want the box.


 * Try this youself. If it doesn't work properly tell me and I will look and see if I missed any details.

Thank you so much for all of your help.Tm93 (talk) 07:54, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Woops I messed up. When they place the text  to create the box, put "tl|" between the opening curly brackets and "User..."  Then when they've created it they don't have to place "tl|".
 * If this is confusing tell me and I will re-explain it to make more sense.Tm93 (talk) 08:00, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello!

I have a very comprehensive site of Buffy locations/pics (buffy-film-loca.livejournal.com / Please use Google.com). I've personally been to almost all these Buffy & some Angel locations. I'm only try to help out my fellow Buffy fans. I'm trying to give people information, directions, etc. (how can you REFERENCE CROSS STREETS?, not everything was shot at the Empire State Building, The Golden Gate Bridge, etc.) All these locations with their corresponding episodes are correct, yet you guys who no little to nothing about Buffy or it's accuracy or consider how helpful it might be to some of the fans just DELETE EVERYTHING?

Ed —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.168.24.31 (talk) 08:47, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

I got it this time.
Sorry for all of the confusion. Here is what I really did:
 * Create a page to store all of your created/edited userboxes. ( [[User:(name)/userboxes_created]] ) Where (name) will be their username.  If they wish, they don't have to name their userbox page the same as above.  They just need a page to store all of their created/edited userboxes.
 * Once page is created, Copy and paste Template:User:(name)/userboxes_created/(name of userbox) onto the new page. Where (name of userbox) will be the new name for their userbox.
 * Underneath that, copy and paste.
 * Then click the "save" button.
 * Click the second red link.
 * It will take you to a template page that needs to be created.
 * On this page you can type all of the details/graphics of your userbox.
 * Once finished typing the details/graphics of the userbox, click the "preview" button to make sure it is how they like it. (If not, this is the time to fix it.)
 * Once saved, go back to the page that holds all of your userboxes.
 * After that your userbox should show up on the page that holds all of your userboxes.
 * Beside the box, it says in regular text: . Just copy and paste that code to wherever you want the userbox.


 * If these instructions prove to once again be wrong. Ask me what the problem is.  Right after I leave you this mesage, I will sign into my other account and test these instructions, just to prove them right.  I am 95% sure this time that they are correct though.  I will leave you a message tomorrow if they worked right.  Like I said earlier I need to get to bed.  Right now it is 2:14am and I had a long day.
 * P.S. Make sure that when they are on step number 5, they click the second link on the designated page for all of their created/edited userboxes. (User:(name)/userboxes_created)  I can't guarantee that it will work if they click they first one.  The second link is described in number 3.

Thank you very much for helping me earlier. Just think, if you wouldn't have helped me, you might not be able to tell others step-by-step instructions on how to create a userbox and place it somewhere else.Tm93 (talk) 09:29, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * OK. I have tested it with my other account and it worked just fine.  Except for one thing, but I fixed that error in the instructions above.  If for some reason it doesn't work for someone, give their username and I will help 'em out.  Tm93 (talk) 21:15, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

quick question
Hey Sir James Paul,

I recently removed a sentence from the "Mule Day" Wiki. It read something to the effect that the town smelled like "hillbilly sweat and festering mule dung".

Being a Columbia Tennessee native, I found this to be slightly offensive, so I removed it. I was just wondering why you returned the sentence after I changed it.

Thanks,

 * Chris, while I support your edit, which was added as the sole contribution of one "Scuazmooq" who created his page with the entry "I'm awesome.", if an edit is killed, it generally indicates that discussion is called for. I have added a section to the "Mule Day" discussion page for this issue.  I am also going to suggest to Scuazmooq that the entry seems to be vandalism, on the talk page for that user.  Finally, though sinebot often signs for me, it is important to "sign" your talk page entries with four tilde characters.sinneed (talk) 02:04, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: June 2008
Hi, my edit from "eye" to "penis", while not being immediately recognizable as an accurate alteration was in fact entirely justifiable.

A quick google search comes up with a good amount of evidence: http://idijotluci.blogspot.com/2008/01/filmski-vanzemaljci-ili-genitalije.html (see "Dildo u torbi")

The resemblance is undeniable, and there is little resemblance to "a giant eye". It merely has an eye atop its shaft.

why do you keep reverting the tyler hansbrough edit i know for a fact that he is gay —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.0.210.85 (talk) 19:35, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

WP:BLP bans adding unreferenced information into biographies of living people, especially if those edits could be seen as negative. Since your edits added harmful and unreferenced information into a bio of a living person, it warranted a revert. Also saying people are gay is a very common form of vandalism. --SJP (talk) 20:03, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't have a problem with other people editing wikipedia at all, but I do have an issue with unconstructive edits. I reverted your edits and warned you not because I don't want you to edit, but because your edits were unconstructive.--SJP (talk) 20:22, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Al-Asqa
You are right about the flow -- it does flow better the way you wrote it. I do think that since the Jewish version Temple Mount considers Al-Asqa an alternative name, and that it ought to go right up there at the top, much like a dictionary would do. I realised that I had messed up the total flow. I didn't realise you had written it and it does have to be done with a certain sensitivity to the religious sentiments, which has been bothering me all evening. But maybe we can work a compromise and rework the language? I'll go look at it again now. PS thanx for the smile, bakatcha :) Tundrabuggy (talk) 02:29, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Useful websites
I assume it was yourself who e-mailed me. The best ones are Haaretz.com and jpost.com - the two English language newspapers in the country. Ynetnews.com is the English language arm of Yedioth Ahronoth and is also ok. пﮟოьεԻ  5  7  08:37, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Vandal fighting
Yeah, I'm fairly new to it. I've made a few errors using Huggle, but when I did, I always removed the warning and/or discussed with the user that their edit was not vandalism, then undid my own Huggle edit. The vast majority of what I've reverted has been vandalism, nonsense, and test edits. I hope I'm doing things correct in the spirit of WP:AGF here, and I assume so, but I'm staying vigilant and certainly wouldn't want to drive new contributors away by being over-zealous with Huggle.

Oh, and while I'm here, you seem like a solid Huggle user. ClueBot gets the blatant vandalism some of the time, but when it doesn't, it's up to the recent changes patrollers.--Les boys (talk) 10:57, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Vietnam Airlines
Hi,

My edit to "Vietnam Airlines" is totally sensible. I was referred to this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airline_codes-V

According to this, the callsign of "Vietnam Airlines" is not "VIETNAM AIRLINES", but "VIET NAM AIRLINES". Why revert?

Regards,

I want the listing regarding me taken down.
SJP, I'm Ed Williams. Rather than see my listing vandalized and hacked up, I'd rather see it deleted entirely. Surely that's not too much to ask. You can email me at: ed3@ed-williams.com if you want to verify my identity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.1.139.224 (talk) 01:26, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Media coverage of the Arab-Israeli conflict
Hi, SJP. I'm sorry for reverting all of your edits. There were some parts with which I disagreed, and I did not take the time to revert only those parts. That was inconsiderate of me. You spent valuable time making those edits; I should have taken the time to separate the good edits from the bad edits. I apologize for my lack of consideration. I hope there is no ill-will between us. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for the kind note on my talk page, and I also wanted to inform you that I responded on the article's talk page. Take care and have a good day. ← Michael Safyan (talk) 18:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks
<div class="NavHead" style="background:cyan;color:blue;">My RfA <div class="NavContent" style="text-align:left; background:240 248 255;"> Thank you for your support in my recent RfA, which closed successfully. I felt the process was a thorough review of my contributions and my demeanor, and I was very gratified to see how many editors took the time to really see what I'm about and how I can be of help to the project. As a result, some editors changed their views during the discussion, and most expressed specific, detailed points to indicate their opinion (whether it was, , or ).

A number of editors were concerned about my level of experience. I was purposeful in not waiting until a particular benchmark occurred before requesting adminship, because I feel - as many do - that adminship is not a reward and that each case is individual. It is true that I am not the most experienced editor around here, but I appreciate that people dug into my contributions enough to reach the conclusion that I seem to have a clue. Also, the best thing about this particular concern is that experience is something an editor - or administrator - can always get more of, and I'll continue doing that, just as I've been doing. (If I seem a little slow at it, feel free to slap me.)

I am a strong believer in the concept that this project is all about the content, and I'm looking forward to contributing wherever I can. Please let me know if I can be of any help. In the meantime, I'm off to school...

Thanks again! Frank |  talk  13:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
