Email received around 5pm 5/22. Reference is no longer valid and considered libelous--hence the removal by news org. Any further edits to contain this false information will be considered an intentional violation. If you need further explanation I can send you the detailed explanation approved by family law attorneys. Thank you for your cooperation.

Roger Goodman
I reviewed your message. Please review mine as it seems that others are violating by not ensuring that their "undo" content is verifiable.

The divorce declaration cited in occurred in October 2012. The Motion of Contempt filed in August 2013 (presented in court September of 2013) is a completely separate entity from the Temporary Orders filed back in October. The Motion of Contempt, was in fact, filed in regard to violations to the Final Order (which was the settlement) which occurred in June of 2013. The contentious divorce documents from October 2012 were not a part of the Final Order. "I asked Carns if it was fair to quote contentious divorce documents in the Goodman ad, particularly since they're part of his ex-wife requesting more money in the settlement." Therefore, the contentious divorce documents had nothing to do with the Motion of Contempt that you site. And since it is is impossible to change any financials after a divorce settlement is signed (in our case June 2013)--the three things are not one related to the other, placed in a sentence as if they are:

contentious divorce documents (Temporary Order--October 2013) and settlement (Final Order/Settlement--June 2013) requesting more money (Motion of Contempt--August/September 2013)

Requests for financial relief for attorney fees when forced to return to court for violations of parenting plans and settlement agreements is routine, but completely separate from the final settlement (inferring money) Final Order. That is why I continue to edit this so that it is factual. The "undo" edits are disingenuous and an inaccurate picture. Erroneous and libelous. I need to add that while you might have an opinion that my statements made under penalty of perjury were simply allegations, that is an opinion--not based in fact. Contentious indicates: causing or likely to cause an argument; controversial. Roger too, had the right to respond to my supposed "allegations," under penalty of perjury but chose not to. That was the time to dispute my supposed "allegations." Under penalty of perjury. Through the court of law. Not now, through a medium other than the court of law that doesn't apply the same standards or opportunity to rebut the accusations made. Therefore, it should be assumed that my divorce declaration statements were not contentious because they caused no argument or disagreement. Roger, making no response to the court, indicates concurrence, not controversy.

I can only assume that the edits are made by supporters who are not caring about the Wikipedia standards for truth and non-inflamotory statements. Facts are very different from truth in Wiki world as well as my world. The edits essentially state that statements made under penalty of perjury are assumed false while statements with no standards for assessment or recourse are not. That is incongruent with reason. As you know, edits must be made fairly and rationally accessing the validity of claims.Perhaps you should be paying more attention to those who are not following the rules for biographies. I will be reporting those who continue to make libelous claims and making copies for my attorneys.

If you would like, I can have one of my attorneys explain in legalese. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I understand completely how this kind of error could have been made. That is why I simply request that you make the corrections asked.

Murray-Darling steamboat people
Good morning Stuartyeates. I thank you for taking an interest in this page. I am surprised that you take exception to the (very large) number of persons mentioned who have no notability whatsoever apart from qualifying as at one time owning or skippering one of these vessels. This of course is almost inevitable in the nature of a list.

I would of course like to see this page as good as it can be. Would moving the page to "List of Murray-Darling steamboat people" overcome your misgivings? Doug butler (talk) 23:03, 24 July 2014 (UTC) Doug butler (talk) 23:08, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Mr problem is not with the name. My problem is that much of the material appears to be based on primary sources, with no obvious sources for much of it. Wikipedia is meant to be based on secondary sources. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:24, 24 July 2014 (UTC)data
 * I was going to address that point at a later stage when I had better knowledge of WP acceptable sources. The vast majority of data has come from contemporary newspaper reports, which I understood was OK. No; I referred to your first review, "This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Many people fail WP:LISTN; this needs to be trimmed or moved to a different namespace. Please help improve this article if you can. (July 2014)" Doug butler (talk) 00:06, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Notability guidelines, including WP:LISTN and similar, are grounded in the use of secondary sources that cover the topic(s) in detail. Moving the article to draft:, User_talk: or User: namespaces would remove the immediate need for reliable sources by indicating that the article is not 'ready' yet. These issues are all derived from a lack of secondary sources; add secondary sources and all your problems go away. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:28, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I've removed your deletion proposal for this article. I do see your point, and although I could upgrade and expand the article, as this is one of a class of locomotives built for the line (plusa modern replica, and another in construction), I think a better solution is to merge all three or four similar articles into one. If you can give me a week or so, I will get that put in place. Hope that is okay with you. Regards, Lynbarn (talk) 23:50, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Edit war
Stuart. Please refrain from sending me self-serving messages about edit warring when the only issue is your insistence in removing properly sourced, relevant material from the Hager article on extremely flimsy pretexts. Come on man, you know that's not on. 101.98.195.208 (talk) 00:58, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Edit war
Your recent editing history at Nicky Hager shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Should I post this notice on User:GHSinclair as well? I see you didn't notify your co-editor.Edgespath24 (talk) 03:30, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Professor Michelle Coote


A tag has been placed on Professor Michelle Coote requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a message on my talk page. @ 05:23, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Helen McGregor (geologist)
I see you removed the PROD from Helen McGregor (geologist). In what way do you think notability is satisfied? A h-index of 12 is well below the threshold of WP:PROF, and everything else listed is typical for an ordinary academic, -- 101.117.57.69 (talk) 08:13, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Prue Hyman
Hi Stuart - I was assessing this article but she does not seem to be notable from what you have written. Am I missing something? NealeFamily (talk) 22:52, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I've moved it to draft and will add some more to it. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:56, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * If you want me to do some research on her, let me know - happy to help. NealeFamily (talk) 02:39, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the offer, but I'm seeing a buttload of hits on nzherald and stuff for her name, so I'll sort through that and the more well-known blogosphere first. It is, after all, my responsibility to find the sources. Stuartyeates (talk) 03:17, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Looks much better and should cross any notablitiy threshhold. She has made some significant contributions especially in NZ I suggest you move it back out of draft and I will add further information as I find it. Keep up the good work.NealeFamily (talk) 07:51, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Constructiveness and Teamwork
Your revert yesterday instantly branded as unconstructive a protest against a laughably prejudiced destruction of a serious WPbiog of Dennis Rawlins. Up to a few days ago it had accented his lifetime of primary research in refined academic areas. But after August 30 complaints on Graeme Bartlett WPtalk about CSICOP tool and WPadministrator Vsmith's slanders and threats against Rawlins, the biog was deleted on September 12 by Vsmith's catspaw Drmies and replaced by a stub blatantly designed by CSICOP detractors to pretend that Rawlins's career has accomplished almost nothing but headlines in second rate newspapers and referring to him as merely a "professional skeptic". (Such preciously unselfconscious smearing from professional skeptic CSICOP is as amusing as irony gets.) Do you find that constructive? Will you help create a fair biog, more competent than the original, but which recognizes not only Rawlins's few errors (which he repeatedly insured were fully represented in the biog) but provides at least a summary of his many credits and discoveries, also his repeated vindications by unexpected new evidence? Will you do what you can to discourage threatening and conniving administrators and vandals?

How did the Rawlins biog get onto your watch list? The flap over it is a cesspool of revenge, threats, extortion, slander, and primarily suppression which deserves chronicling as much as the original "sTARBABY". (And the offending organization is so well known that its behavior will interest a lot more people.) Anyone asked to become a partner in constitutionally unhumble Vsmith's unprovoked and dementedly bungled (see Bartlett talk on Velikovsky) war against Rawlins should check his conscience and his caution.2thedef (talk) 04:32, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I know very little about Dennis Rawlins, CSICOP or any of these other people. What I do know is that wikipedia is an encyclopedia, a tertiary source, built on reliable independent secondary sources. If I understand your complaint correctly, finding such sources relating to Dennis Rawlins needs to be your first step. Without secondary sources you're unlikely to get far. Stuartyeates (talk) 04:59, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

You do not even acknowledge the obvious question of how and by whom you got assigned to a subject you admittedly know so little about. There are secondary sources galore in the previous biog, University of Cambridge, New York Times, British Museum, Isis, and so on. But Vsmith's Drmies tossed them all out, instead slumming at the low end of newspaper stories to create a half-smear rather than a biog. The material you autoeliminated was rambunctious but valid in all respects while the biog you protect is deliberately misleading. Why are you fronting for smearers and suppressors? Your calling the September 16 intro to the biog unconstructive is typical of the Rawlins WP biog history. Faced with undeniably relevant and accurate facts — find some excuse for deletion to protect the ever more deeply invested censoring and threatening culprits and their heroes and saints, while denigrating or disappearing material in favor of their devils. Kill as many awful facts as possible using labels like "blog", not Reliable, "stuff", unencyclopedic, "junk", not constructive, "trivial". If you are serious about finding secondary sources then just undo Drmies's edit and you will have dozens of such sources. With input from every side the biog can then be mutually improved in stages to the satisfaction of all but fanatics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2thedef (talk • contribs) 22:06, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Woo Wing Thye
Hello. Am trying to improve the Woo Wing Thye page. Curious why academic journals should be considered unreliable or "self-published." Please advise.Malwriter (talk) 09:24, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Material written by the subject is not independent, even after peer review. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:30, 19 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Right. If your subject has exciting things to report, secondary sources should do it. Otherwise every academic biography would turn into a resume. Or, to put it another way, a journal article by person X on topic Y is a reliable source, possibly, for article Y. It is not an acceptable source for article X. Drmies (talk) 15:28, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Assessment
Hi Stuart, if you do assessments of new MP pages, can you please include the politics parameters, too? And the Maori parameter, where appropriate. Here's some code for copy-pasting:  Schwede 66  21:01, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

I normally use a tool that doesn't allow me to do that, so I should probably stop doing these MPs. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:03, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Ferrymead 125 and NZ Rail 150
Hi, re your PROD of Ferrymead 125 and NZ Rail 150: I notice that you used the rationale "Not notable. No evidence of awards, charting or in depth coverage in independent reliable sources. No refs" - why are awards necessary, and what "charting" would there have been? This sounds like a rationale for a music album, not a railway event. It is also not the first time that you have done this: you used almost exactly the same rationale two months ago on. Please ensure that the PROD rationale is appropriate. -- Red rose64 (talk) 14:16, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Wellington GAA
Hi Stuart - noticed your prod on the Wellington GAA article. There is also an Auckland GAA one. I think it might be better to merge both articles into a new one about Gaelic Football in New Zealand instead. Your thoughts? NealeFamily (talk) 00:09, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * The problem with that approach is that neither of them have reliable sources, so merging doesn't help. Indeed, Australasia_GAA is also lacking independent sources. Sport really isn't my thing, but someone needs to find sources for these. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:58, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed, but they probably will have some sources as it is an international sport, albeit that it would be relatively minor in NZ and probably Australia. It put a note to the author and see what happens. NealeFamily (talk) 03:33, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

I have started rolling out the articles (and learning new things as I go and tweaking the generator accordingly for future articles). They automatically go into the hidden Category:Articles incorporating text from the Queensland Heritage Register (please review) which is a sub-category of the hidden Category:Articles incorporating text from the Queensland Heritage Register. After someone other than me has reviewed/refined them, I am asking if they can move the article into the parent category. That way, the "please review" category should contain only the newer unreviewed items. So when you have a spare moment, please feel free to review/refine the new articles. I am not sure how quickly I will roll them out (a bit under the hammer with real life and WMAU events at the moment). So thanks in advance for any help you can give. With continual editor attrition, I think we have to move more to using to automation to create and maintain articles, but it is a "dark art". Kerry (talk) 22:36, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wystan Curnow, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Landfall. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Halloween cheer!
<div style="border-style:solid; border-color:#000; background-color:#FFB924; border-width:2px; text-align:left; padding:8px;" class="plainlinks">

Happy Halloween!

Hello Stuartyeates: Thanks for all of your contributions to improve Wikipedia, and have a happy and enjoyable Halloween!   –  NorthAmerica1000 10:55, 27 October 2014 (UTC) Send Halloween cheer by adding {{subst:Happy Halloween}} to user talk pages with a friendly message.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Women's Refuge (New Zealand) concern
Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Women's Refuge (New Zealand), a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:32, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

WP:PERM Request
Please see your request details and comments at the permissions page.

After reviewing your request for the account creator right, I have enabled the flag on your account. Keep in mind these things: If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the account creator right. Happy editing! — xaosflux  Talk 13:44, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * The account creator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
 * The account creator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the account creator right will result in its removal by an administrator.

Hi, Stuart. Could you tell me where this template is located? I had a look around Category:Welcome templates but couldn't find a likely candidate. Cheers. -- Rrburke (talk) 17:20, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * You mean the one I've been using on new student user pages? I use Twinkle which makes it a pointy-pointy clicky-clicky operation, now typing involved. I have no idea what the underlying template is called, sorry. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:25, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Recent software changes
 * The "Special:Cite" page is now called "Special:CiteThisPage". That way, you know it's to cite the page, not to add a reference.
 * You can no longer use the  keyword for text searches. It caused issues with the new search tool. It will come back later.

Problems
 * There was a bug in VisualEditor with Internet Explorer. It hid tools like the link editor when you opened them. The bug was fixed on Monday.
 * Issues with the new search tool caused geo data code to show up on pages on Monday and Friday. The mobile "nearby" tool was also broken. The problem is now fixed.
 * HHVM caused server issues on Thursday. They are now fixed.

Software changes this week
 * The new version of MediaWiki ( 1.25wmf5 ) has been on test wikis and MediaWiki.org since October 29. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis from November 4, and on all Wikipedias from November 5 (calendar).
 * Some wikis have icons at the top of a page to show if it is protected or featured. Icons show up using CSS. You can now use the  tag in these templates instead to add the icons. [//www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning#Page_status_indicators]
 * VisualEditor now tells you if you're editing a re-used reference. This helps you avoid changing it if you just want to add a new one.
 * The icons in VisualEditor's template editor tool for adding more fields are back, along with other fixes.
 * After November 6, all wikis will have the tool to edit TemplateData. [//www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateData]

Future changes
 * The new search tool will come to the last wikis in the coming weeks. This includes Wikipedia in French, Chinese, German and English.

Threat
I find it strange that you should threaten me with a formal notice of banning when you are the one reverting. I on the other hand have followed all Wiki guidelines by providing refs and going to the talk page and explaining at length and in detail, in a constructive manner, the  significance of my addition. Your brief, flippant and misspelt response is unacceptable and juvenile.This is not the first time you have been warned about edit warring. You have obviously not read what I wrote .To clarify: the original edit simply contained bald facts that were referenced. When challenged to explain these, I did. Then you said I was "pushing a line".I was just explaining the significance of the edit to anyone unfamilar with NZ history. The explanation or interpretation is not part of the edit!Very simple really. Claudia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.62.226.243 (talk) 01:29, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Then you flow up with a demand for me to be civil!!This is rather arrogant. Do you have a problem with women who know what they are talking about? You are off topic -the edit in question has been approved by another, independent editor. I think you are well meaning Stuart, but somewhat out of your depth in editing NZ history. Your father was more knowledgeable than you. You will note my multiple, positive,accurate and very detailed additions to NZ history etc on wiki over many years.  My contributions to wiki take long hours of research per edit.There is nobody else doing this. Your recent edits  appear to be sudden and impulsive over reactions. My contributions to Nz history etc have resulted in  far more balanced, factual accounts of our history -far more than any other editor. I have managed to get rid of most the hopelessly biased, seriously distorted and maybe politically motivated versions that used to inhabit wiki. Do you need to examine your own motives  for your behaviour? It is important for a person in your position and age to be self aware(why do I behave like this? Why do I hold these views?) and avoid lashing out. Maybe you just need a break. Claudia  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.62.226.243 (talk) 21:51, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I think we have to accept that "Claudia" is a troll, with an online personality spiced up by constant reminders that "I am a lady! That's what I am, a lady!" This editor plays a game of brinksmanship, provoking and taunting other editors while carrying out a deliberate campaign of misinformation and distortion in articles. Until he/she goes so far that banning is definitely warranted, I see no option but for editors to be vigilant and prompt in tagging or removing his/her most egregious edits and not wasting time on pointless debates.

 * You can see a list of files to fix on the Labs tool. You can report bugs and ask questions on the talk page.

Problems
 * Wikimedia Labs was broken for a few hours on Thursday. It was due to a hardware problem.

Software changes this week
 * The new version of MediaWiki ( 1.25wmf7 ) has been on test wikis and MediaWiki.org since November 5. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis from November 11, and on all Wikipedias from November 12 (calendar).
 * You can now use more editing tools for tables in VisualEditor. You can add rows and columns, merge cells, and edit table captions.
 * The style and insert menus in the toolbar of VisualEditor now show fewer tools. This helps you see the most common tasks. You can see all items by clicking "More".
 * The way windows inside VisualEditor work has changed. VisualEditor should be faster and have fewer bugs.
