"putnam porn" marked as "attack site"??????
What the hell. The article "putnam porn" I posted years ago which was in no way an attack site was marked as an attack site by none other than TheLetterM. The page did NOT qualify as an attack site as it did not even mention or poke at the identity of the persons in the video, nor did it portray them in a negative way. I am angry that I was given a warning for "attacking" someone. It merely documents an extremely notable event that happened in UC Berkeley, that is still widely known today.

Tacoma Dome isn't Geodesic
Hi there, I noticed you reverted my edit of the Tacoma Dome. On the Tacoma Dome's website it quite clearly states that it isn't a Geodesic dome, but that it is the second largest wooden dome. As well, the American Pavillion at Expo 67 is the seventh largest dome, don't remove it.Abebenjoe 17:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I've also written the Tacoma Dome folks to have them explain what a "planer radian roof" is as aoppsed to a Geodesic dome.  From the picture that is on the wikipedia site, it looks like a Geodesic dome. Abebenjoe 17:47, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Elliott Smith Quote
Hey uh no... Why would you revert a fact? I remember the article, because its from The Ballad of Big Nothing, a biography on the life of Elliott Smith, so whoever wrote the quote was partially right. Thank you for experimenting though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.154.167 (talk) 07:47, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

WP:AIV
Hi, have have removed your block request from WP:AIV. I know vandalism, especially vandalism to one's user page, can be frustrating. But please try to remember that blocks are meant to prevent vandalism not punish it. In the future, please make sure that the vandal is active before posting to AIV. Sock puppets, are another issue and should be reported to Suspected sock puppets. Keep up the vandal fighting effort. --Selket Talk 06:14, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

The Great Minutes to Rise Sock Puppet Escapade
Stop change the post-hardore articel and leave me alone!Minutes to Rise

STOP

STOP TO CHANGE EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Minutes to Rise

GO AWAY

LEAVE ME ALONE; GO AWAY; DON'T BOTHER ME OR JUST BLOCK YOURSELF! Minutes to Rise

My personal thoughts

"A poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more: it is a tale

''Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing...''" -William Shakespeare, Macbeth

Unblock Request

 * Note to reviewing administrator: TLM was blocked for reverting a troll who turned out to be yet another sock of a long-term sockpuppeteer, see Suspected sock puppets/Minutes to Rise.  Sala Skan  21:03, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Block
Hi TheLetterM, I have blocked you for 24 hours for edit warring on Post-hardcore. I realize you believe there is sockpuppetry involved, but first of all, I don't see a clear proof of it, only suspicion. Second, even if you were 100% correct on the sockpuppetry, that wouldn't allow you to violate 3RR, unless you could show it was a banned user, or there was a copy-vio or BLP issue (which I don't see in this case). So please do not edit war - pursue WP:RCU or WP:SSP, and report WP:3RR if you get a positive result and a clear violation. Please read up on the relevant policies during your time out, and feel free to message me if you have any questions or comments. Thanks, Crum375 19:01, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I understand. Thank you, I will see about e-mailing you with the sockpuppetry evidence. TheLetterM 19:04, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Crum, please check your email account, I have just sent you evidence of sockpuppetry. TheLetterM 19:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Whaat!? Did someone just block this editor for revert warring with a troll? User:Minutes to Rise and his socks are single-purpose accounts intended to provoke edit wars, see here. Blocking someone who counters his disruption is insane.  Sala Skan  20:24, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, indeed, I have been blocked by Crum375 for editwarring with Minutes to Rise. Regardless, I stand by his decision, as I should've stopped reverting his edits the minute he reached the 3RR limit. I've e-mailed Crum evidence that MtR is a sockpuppeteer and a sockpuppet for User:AFI-PUNK, he has graciously added the specific info on their SSP page. Let's not get carried away, I'll be back tomorrow. TheLetterM 20:33, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Then the block was an obvious mistake. Editors shouldn't be blocked for reverting trolls/sockpuppeteers. 3RR even says so.  Sala Skan  20:56, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Ian MacKaye
It is being claimed that Ian Mackaye was pronounced dead this morning at a Baltimore hospital. The singer of Minor Threat and Fugazi was struck by a car after a show in New Jersey. The driver fled the scene which led to a police investigation that is still going on. Ian Mackaye has been pretty influential in the underground music scene. He will be missed if he is in fact dead. I say "if" because the news isn't really confirmed by a valid source yet. But it is stirring around buzz on the internet. So there is a big possibility that Ian Mackaye is dead.

Re: Elliott Smith
Could you please take another look at the earlier versons? The section was originally sourced, as seen here, then removed, and re-added without the sources. I will admit I am unfamiliar with the article, but would appreciate you taking a look at it to see if the information is valid. Also, I would just kindly request that when you revert established editors, you not use the "Vandalism" function of Twinkle, as my edits were done during recent changes seeing an anonymous editor blank a large portion of a featured article, and obviously not vandalism. Instead, if you use the simple "Rollback AGF" option, or the "Rollback" option and provide an edit summary, it would be helpful. Thanks so much for letting me know! Ariel ♥  Gold  01:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, thank you so much for looking at that last revision! I really appreciate it, as I wouldn't know if it was true or not ;) Thanks! Ariel  ♥  Gold  02:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Bottomless Pit (band)
A tag has been placed on Bottomless Pit (band) 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 a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:35, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Vitreous Humor
Hello! I've moved Vitreous Humor (band), which you created, to Vitreous Humor, as there aren't any other article subjects with the same capitalization. We try to use the most general title possible for articles. On a related note, I changed vitreous humor into a redirect to vitreous humour. All the incoming links to vitreous humor were for the part of the eye; the disambiguation guideline specifies that when one usage of the term is overwhelming, we usually make that one the subject of the main article, and link to articles on other usages from a separate disambiguation page. That guideline page has some examples. I also added some hatnotes to link between vitreous humour and Vitreous Humor, which makes it easy for readers to navigate between the two. No offense meant at all, just tidying up things. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to post on my talk page. Happy editing! —Slowking Man (talk) 05:36, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Louie-p
FYI, Louie-p was not eligible for speedy deletion under criterion G4, because there had been no prior discussion (AfD) on deletion of the article. However, it was still eligible for deletion under A7, as the article did not make any new assertions of notability. —C.Fred (talk) 01:09, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * And yes, I know all too well the feeling of hitting 'Save page' and then going, "No, wait, that's not what I meant." It's almost always with templates like that that I use frequently (and I don't use Twinkle, etc.). —C.Fred (talk) 01:15, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Patrick Goodpaster
You placed a CSD tag on Patrick Goodpaster. The article doesn't quite meet A7 - it does indicate why its subject is significant - so I recommend that you list it on AfD if you still think it should be deleted.  Graymornings (talk) 06:16, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion proposal
After you proposed speedy deletion of Poisson hidden Markov model, an admin did irresponsibly delete it, and it was by accident that I learned of this and restored that page.

You should not propose speedy deletion of an article merely because it's fairly clumsily written by a newbie. 15 seconds with Google, or even searching within Wikipedia, would have been enough to make clear that the article did not fail to identify its subject. The fact that you are ignorant of mathematics and therefore don't understand an article about it is not a reason for speedy deletion. Michael Hardy (talk) 01:48, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I saw the message you left on my talk page. If you could have noticed that the article was created about 30 seconds before you proposed deletion, maybe I would have a bit of time to actually write it! Thanks! -&#124;-&gt;TheFSaviator-&#124;-&gt; (talk) 20:33, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Another couple of speedy problems
... with the article Kim McKay. I'm not sure if the version you db-spammed was spam; at least one of her books has won some impressive awards, so we probably want to have an article about her, even if the tone was a little off. Then you db-copyvio'd it, and you might be right about that, but not at the url you listed; there was only one short paragraph about her at that page, so the whole page can't be a copyvio. Do please delete any part of the article that's a copyvio, and if you find another webpage that this article is a copyvio of, tag it and I'll probably be the one to bag it (this week, anyway). (Watchlisting) - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 00:18, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Have you checked the deletion log for this page? I'm pretty sure that it was deleted for copyvio at the listed URL some time ago. I've also just done another search on the text for this page and found this source where the article does some cherrypicking from. I personally think that removing material that violates copyvio here would necessitate a fundamental rewrite of the entire article, and from the looks of her achievements she deserves better. TheLetterM (talk) 00:29, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for searching. I see the content has been removed from the article now; could you keep an eye on it and make sure the copyvio stuff doesn't creep back in for a week or two?  I think we want an article on this author. - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 02:42, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Certainly. TheLetterM (talk) 04:50, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Deletion policy
I am not sure of deletion policies, but Nicktoons: And the Ancient Crystal needs to be deleted. There is no record of it being produced or developed by anyone ever. It was created by this user, who has created false pages before, even. BOVINEBOY 2008 14:13, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I added a prod-2 template to endorse the deletion, though to be quite honest I could tag it for Speedy Deletion under criteria G3, or pure vandalism--from what I see, hoaxes tend to fall under this criteria. TheLetterM (talk) 16:10, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

The Whispering Wall (album)
I've declined the speedy deletion request for this album, as it is a recording by a notable artist (The Legendary Pink Dots).

Speedy deletion of Kosmix
Hi!

Well, you put a guideline of what to do (and not to), so i thought i should explain myself before removing that from my page :-)

Kosmix is obviously noticeable by now, and i deleted the speedy deletion tag only to put the {hangon} tag (that i learned in WP guidelines). I probably shouldn't have deleted the first tag, but i thought i could do that since i was replacing it to another tag.

By the way, the {hangon} tag was already removed by an admin, and everything is ok now.

Phoenix14news
I did some major trimming to the article and added sources. And have now just found and added multiple awards from various organizations... 2005: Aegis Awards Winners and finalists recognition, 2006: two awards at the 27th annual Telly Awards, 2007: they won a Radio-Television News Directors Association of the Carolinas (RTNDAC) Award for "Best Student Television Newscast"., 2008: Three awards at the 29th annual Telly Awards, and the 2009 Broadcast Education Association awards.

Retinal Gene Therapy Using Lentiviral Vectors
TheLetterM,

Thanks for your feedback concerning the article. I can certainly try to do a rewrite of the article sometime in the near future as you bring up a valid point about it not being as accessible to the general audience as it could be. I mostly mean this article to be something for the scientific community, but I think it's important to do a rewrite just so other people might be able to make use of it to. I don't know if I'll be able to rewrite it sometime this week, but I definitely would like to change it so it reads better. Thanks for the input!

Hi there M :). Just letting you know that I replaced your warning at User talk:Vanilla Cake becca. This is because I feel that although the user has misinterpreted Wikipedia's purpose, they appear to be acting in good faith, which means that it is not vandalism, and categorising their edits as vandalism may be bitey. Hope that's okay. Best, - Kingpin13 (talk) 18:36, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Right. I wasn't sure under what criteria the page should be tagged under--A3 definitely makes more sense. Thanks for letting me know. Best, TheLetterM (talk) 18:38, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * That's fine, but next time you're not sure what criteria a page should be deleted under, make sure you don't mark it :). It's important that the user gets the correct warning or they won't know what they did wrong, and therefore won't be able to stop it.

Orphaned non-free image File:VH-Posthumous.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:VH-Posthumous.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aspects (talk) 19:30, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

 * You're gonna run into problems if you're going to cite it like this--please read Wikipedia's policies regarding what constitutes reliable sources. While I'm sure the individuals you've mentioned would be able to shed light on what you've mentioned, you wouldn't be able to cite that person based on a first-hand interview or whatever--it'd have to be published in some way (see WP:PRIMARY)--perhaps in the Sun-Star or The Prodigy (though student newspapers don't carry the weight that regular newspapers do) or in an other reliably-sourced entity.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:01, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
