User talk:Technopat/Archive 3

Abuse?
Hi, I noticed on the page for that someone has posted "Technopat virgin prick" over and over. I've seen this twice now. It links to your page - is this vandalism against you? I reverted the edits but I thought I should give you a heads-up. 78.150.229.204 (talk) 18:45, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Want another archive?
This page is big, and I'm willing to help. Unless you have it under control, of course. Do you need me to archive for you?  2D ℳaestro  Dribble / Scribble 14:22, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

And here we are, another cleaned talk page! I can't think of any favors I need at the moment, but if there's anything you think you're good at, tell me, and I'll come to you if anything of that sort comes up. OK?  2D ℳaestro  Dribble / Scribble 12:46, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy tagging
Hi. Thanks for tagging Toe Tags by William Bryan Layton just now, but as it was a book A7 doesn't apply. Non-notable books may have to go to PROD or AfD, but frequently (as in this case) what has been put in is a copy of the publisher's blurb and a Google search finds the source so that db-copyvio can be used. Keep up the good work! Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:26, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Greetings JohnCD. Thanks for pointing that one out to me. Not sure what went wrong there, but every time (?) these slip-ups things get pointed out to me, I wonder how many others go unnoticed... (Just a morbid interest in mindless stats.) Cheers! --Technopat (talk) 22:14, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Polite remark left here by innocent editor, falsely accused
While I admire your zeal for improving Wikipedia, it is a good idea to make sure that what you revert actually is vandalism. Assume good faith, and all that. My edit to H was in fact a very good one. Please revert your reversion. 72.85.220.152 (talk) 12:33, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Sock puppet
Since u helped with an edit war on the Pieces of a Man article a while back with possibly the same editor, I'm asking if these four accounts, 81.153.44.164, 86.186.243.135, 86.169.134.107, and 81.159.254.162, making the exact same unconstructive edit to Gil Scott-Heron album articles constitutes sock puppetry? 86.169.134.107 has recently made the exact same edit to the lot of those articles and I want to avoid any edit conflicts with such users.

Bernanos
Thanks for adding the Bernanos book to the 'see also' section of the Homage to Catalonia article. The article on the Bernanos book was just a couple of short paragraphs, but the mentioning of it on the 'Homage' page made me resolve to read the book (I'd started the article with just a mention of the book I found in 'Orwell in Spain'). It is a strange book and I don't follow all the allusions to contemporary events Bernanos makes, but I'm glad  I read it, and I added  a bit more detail to the page on  the book that makes it more informative I hope. Cheers.Sayerslle (talk) 14:41, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Overszealous Editing
Hello, got your messages accusing me of being a vandal, re the HJK and FC Lahti pages. I merely updated the squads as per the transfer news on the Veikkausliiga website. I see someone else has complained about this - can I suggest that if I was committing vandalism it would have been far more obvious then this and you perhaps need to sue more common sense before accusing people of vandalism.

The transfers are confirmed on the officical league website, although you may need to use Google translate;)

 * Replying here: Thank you for the links. I had already checked them out - and they still make no mention of what you claim.--Technopat (talk) 22:44, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Replying here and at Bearded Avenger's user talk page. The HJK website does indeed confirm the transfer. So, once again, I owe you an apology. Sorry! --Technopat (talk) 23:11, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

FC lahti's website makes no reference of the Heini transferring out, but it is confirmed by VPS that they've signed him - incidentally I also updated their page.

http://www.vepsu.fi/tmp_vps_actual_0.asp?lang=1&sua=1&s=1219


 * Replying here and at Bearded Avenger's user talk page. OK, the Veikkausliiga website confirms the Heini transfer: http://www.veikkausliiga.com/News.aspx?type=1&ID=41698 Veikkausliiga.com 8.12.2010 8:07:00Riku Heini tähtää eteenpäin urallaan.

Promotional Flags
Thank you for doing your due diligence on administering pages and edits in the appropriate manner. Although I do not understand why/how all of my edits/ posts continue to be flagged as "promotion/advertising". Although I do recognize that some of my earlier posts may not have held up to Wikipedia guidelines as I was still learning the etiquette, I feel I have toned down the intent and feel the content I am attempting to present is indeed educational scientific material and is more informative than promotional and feel it deserves to have a presence in Wikipedia same as any other would. I respect what Wikipedia stands for and feel it is a great resource to many categories and topics, yet I feel confused on how I continue to see pages and edits throughout Wikipedia that use the same methods that I am attempting to accomplish. I am trying to stay consistent with other pages/ edits I have seen throughout Wikipedia and use the same foundation they use, but find it confusing when I see countless pages/posts/edits that are using the same methods that I am attempting to add all over Wikipedia pages. Can you please help me to understand the rationale behind why some pages/edits are allowed and some others are not even though they are the same type. Can you please offer an suggestions you may have on the best way of representing my content? Thanks PREMIS2010 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:01, 7 December 2010 (UTC).

Great, Thank you for your feedback it helped to shed some light on an already confusing subject. Your response helped to put things a little more into perspective for me, so I appreciate your efforts. Although I still can’t get a clear answer as you had mentioned on what is allowed and what isn’t in external links; I respect the guidelines you do have in place. I actually did have one more issue I hoped you could help me with. Originally I tried to create an article, but as I expressed to you it too was flagged as promotional. I have intentionally toned down the content significantly as I do believe it has a purpose on Wikipedia and deserve to be represented. I do not believe that the subject matter to be promotional but rather serving as an informative piece and is aimed at simply being informative in a scientific medical context. I have created the article on my user page: Article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:PREMIS2010/Pathogen_Reduction_Using_Riboflavin_and_UV_Light If at all possible, could you review the article before I even attempt to move it to the main space and let me know if you still believe it would violate the guidelines. As I mentioned I believe this content is appropriate for what Wikipedia represents and if you have any other suggestions on a better avenue to go about this I am all ears.

Excessive reverting
You seem to be overusing the undo/revert buttons for questionable edits or edits that don't justify a revert. In one case, you removed someone's comment from a Talk page because it was "unsourced and unsigned", neither of which is a valid reason to censor a Talk page. Please review the relevant guidelines - WP:ROLL and WP:BRD before you continue. You have been a rollbacker for almost three years - you should know these things better. Thank you.

 * Replied --Technopat (talk) 16:24, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
 * While WP:BLP applies to Talk pages as well, a mere mention of the existence of sources relating to clashes between two living persons is not a BLP violation, and certainly isn't cause to remove such a comment from a Talk page. If you wish to dispute such a statement, you are welcome to add your comment on that Talk page. Removing the comment does, I believe, fall under "censorship".
 * I also disagree with your assertion that this was an isolated case. Reverts such as this or this should be limited to dealing with disruptive edits, not to a mere difference of opinion on content or style. Once again, I urge you to practice more restraint when using the rollback/undo functions. Owen&times; &#9742;  17:21, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Comment moved from my user page (IBM)
Possible mistake was your edit summary. Does that apply to my edit or your revert? (we have to have some fun while doing this). Wikipedia does not want long lists of books so I sorted out the many IBM books, removing for example, all those in the "History of IBM" page that were also in the IBM page. Pointers to the other page were placed in both pages -- of which you've deleted at least one (I've not checked the other). Seems there is something about this that you don't approve of. I'm not sure what that is or what you think should be done. Duplicating all the books in both places is, as I understand Wikipedia, not acceptable. Expecting everyone to know of the other page seems unreasonable.50.136.247.190 (talk) 03:34, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
