Alexander Cockburn and POV
Please stop removing material from the Alexander Cockburn article. It is clear that your repeated edits are an attempt at pushing your POV, which, as you should know, is strictly forbidden by Wikipedia. Please try to make helpful edits, rather than damaging other people's hard work

What was removed from the Alexander Cockburn was in violation of the Wikipedia policy on POV. I explained that in great depth in the discussion section of the Cockburn article. Removing weasel words such as 'pro-Israel' or 'conservative' before every organization isn't an attempt to push POV, its an attempt to remove it. The weasel words used, again as I explained in the discussion section, would be no more valid than if I went through the Cockburn article and inserted 'anti-Israel' or 'left-wing' in front of the publications he writes for.

In the future, if you want to discuss changes to the Alexander Cockburn article, post them in that discussion section. Don't post them in my personal discussion section as a private attack. --ARoyal 00:28, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

re: Theories on Columbus' Portuguese origins
I did not realize the "inuse" template could only be used for 3 hours, so I appreciate your removing it from the article in question. The article is of a highly questionable nature, and I was involved in an edit war with its original author (as one can see from the article history), finally placing the tag in order to give him time to prove the article's validity. I think that he has failed in that endeavor, and I stand by the OR tag I placed on the article more than a week ago. My next step may be to request a peer review. Would you be willing to take a closer look at the article and offer your opinion on its value? Thanks for your time. ---Charles 20:01, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not my area of expertise, I just remove the inuse template from articles if they've been up too long. Anyway I reverted to an earlier version of the article that looks a bit better, I'm not sure what was going on with the other version. Sorry I can't be of more help. If the article is pure original research, you might take it to WP:AFD. --W.marsh 23:58, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello Charles... Take a look, a disambiguation page has been created. If you ever need to create a similar page, you can use the hndis template to disambiguate between a list of human names. Hope that helps! Can&#39;t sleep, clown will eat me 02:43, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

vandalism templates
G'day. I saw your vandalism notice on User talk:Micknz. I'm sure you have found this out since July when you left it, but there are a number of templates at WP:VAND that are able to be used. Just letting you know, just in case. Cheers and happy editing! Jpe|ob 03:10, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Godwin article
Unfortunately, it can't be speedied--db-repost is for articles that have undergone a deletion review via AFD, and excludes previously speedied or prodded material. The AFD will run its course, and then any subsequent reposts can be speedied. And I didn't delete the article--I'm not an admin and do not have that capability.

On a personal note, we live in the same town! How about that! -- Merope Talk 19:56, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, I was not certain whether you were an admin or not. As you say, the AfD will run its course, and we will deal with any further reposts if they should arise.  Oh, and how interesting to meet a fellow Bloomingtonian!  Are you a student? ---Charles 20:04, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Used to be: I now work for the university. And, well, I might be an admin by Friday--I'm currently going through the horrifying process of requesting adminship.  Maybe I'll get to be the person who closes this discussion.  Exciting! -- Merope Talk 20:22, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I used to be a student as well. As far as your potential adminship is concerned, tell me where to go and I will vote in favour of you.  As you say, very exciting.  By the way, are you on Bloomingpedia? ---Charles 20:26, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Um, telling you where to go makes me nervous since I don't want to be seen as scamming for votes. And I'm not on Bloomingpedia, mostly because I try to keep my Wikilife and my real life kinda separate.  On accounta the fact I sometimes edit from work.  Heh. -- Merope Talk 20:29, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * That is very ethical of you, and I respect that. As far as the other matter, I have no personal life, and my "job" is being a writer, so I am always editing at work.  Nice to meet you. ---Charles 20:31, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Your advice on warnings
You wrote to me: "Are you going to leave a warning on the talk page of the anonymous use who defaced the Steampunk article? I certainly suggest that you do so. ---Charles 04:41, 22 July 2006 (UTC)."

Are you referring to some sort of official warning? I'm a fairly casual Wikipedian, and not all too familiar with how something like this would work.--LordSnow 19:42, 11 October 2006 (UTC)


 * It could be official (i.e., by using one of the numerous warning templates), or it could be unofficial (which most of mine are). I just like to leave some sort of message whenever a user vandalizes an article, just to let them know it did not go unnoticed, and that their actions have consequences.  Obviously, in this case, it is a moot point. ---Charles 19:45, 11 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Just so that I'm aware: what are those consequences?


 * Well, persistent vandals and producers of nonsense can be blocked for periods of time ranging from a few hours up to a month or more, depending upon the severity of their offenses, so to speak. Vandalism-only accounts will be blocked permanently. ---Charles 19:27, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Can you take a look at this article [] and tell me if this is a legitimate article? Is a hairstyle, especially one that is a current fad, really notable enough for an article? I was going to tag it for deletion, but could not think of a legitimate category. I would appreciate your opinion. ---Charles 03:44, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * That's tough, but I think I would vote keep for that one if it was on AfD. It has references such as this, from CBS Sportsline, so it has to be someone notable. — Mets 501  (talk) 10:58, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Responses to Michael Schumacher's retirement
I've provived some background now on the article. I don't know if it's enough. The purpose of creating it was to move that information that was on the original Michael Schumacher article, taking up too much space. So, I added a

to the main article. It helps illustrating that point that Schumacher was in fact one of the most important Formula One drivers ever, so, instead of deleting, I did this. Please tell me if there's more I need to do on the article to avoid its deletion. Thanks --Serte 18:05, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Hyderabad (Pakistan)/Travel Guide
Definitely not encyclopedic and contravenes this policy which explicitly mentions travel guides as something we don't do. Its not speediable, so I suggest you tag it with prod. If that gets removed, take it to AfD. Good catch, Gwernol 21:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion 2
I wish to express an opinion on speedy deletions and not biting the newcomers. I'm not singling you out, I've noticed other new page patrollers who do the same thing.

I think it would be a good thing to leave the template message (the bit that says something like " ~ " at the bottom of the box) on the creating user's talk page, especially if it is a new user who is probably unfamiliar with Wikipedia policies. If I were a newcomer who found my article suddenly deleted without explanation I would be quite offended.

Thanks

LittleOldMe 15:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The reason for the message is that I had an edit conflict on an article that you had tagged for speedy deletion and I noticed that there was no message placed on the user's talk page. However, the tag you used unfortunately does not add the template message, which is something I never knew. The one I quoted is from the  tag. I'm sorry if the original message appeared a bit preachy (I re-read it and got that sense from it) but it was never my intention. Perhaps it is because I am still finding my way around Wikipedia that I feel sympathy for the newcomers who are being encouraged to be bold on the one hand but are often unsympathetically brushed aside when they attempt to contribute.


 * Regards


 * LittleOldMe 15:20, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * On the contrary, I too was adding a speedy delete tag to the article, so I am not finding fault with your decision. I was using the tag that takes a little longer to complete, therefore the edit conflict. Had you placed a message on the user's talk page notifying them of your decision then I would have never started this discussion. That would have been a pity because I would never have got to have this discussion with a like minded individual. I say that because of your discussion with DakotaKahn. I can truly say that it has been a pleasure to meet you. Richard15:48, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

The Patrick Smyth article
Apparently, it wasn't a good call by me and has been moved back to mainspace because he asserts notability with the CEO thing. Still, looks like we're all learning together, eh? ;) Bubba hotep 16:04, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it's gone again. Seems someone else thinks the same as us and has reverted it to his user page with a succinct note about WP:BIO on the talk page. Good enough. Bubba hotep 18:46, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Richard Kenney
Yeah, I see the same problems with this page. The speedy is unjustified, so I took it off. I think she might be open to some advice - she did eventually take the advice about "inuse" (after I notified her on her talk page that I had left instructions on the article talk page). She may need to be guided a long a bit, as opposed to finding her own way. I'm just not really sure when to approach her - newer Wikipedia editors usually take a lot longer to get things done than more experienced editors, for whatever reason (I have many theories). I haven't ever mentored anyone (I've only been editing frequently for 5 months or so), but I'd be willing to try, I suppose. Natalie 21:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Cool. Sounds like a plan. I have the article watchlisted, so I can keep an eye on it. I may also post something her talk page welcoming her to contact me if she needs help, and perhaps pointing her towards some of the tutorials, etc. Natalie 21:43, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I've gone through the beginning (bio) of Richard Kenney and fixed it up, but the works and criticism section still needs some help. Also, there's an image (front cover of a book) that's HUGE, and I don't know how to make it smaller (images aren't really my forte). If you're good with images you might want to check that out.

Upcoming template changes
Hi, I've just noticed that you recently left a templated userpage message. I'm just bringing to your attention that the format and context of these templates will be shortly changing. It is recommended that you visit WikiProject user warnings and harmonisation discussion pages to find out how these changes could affect the templates you use. We also would appreciate any insights or thoughts you may have on the subject. Thanks for your understanding. Best regards Khukri ( talk  .  contribs ) 15:08, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: User:Samsantiago
To be honest, I didn't think ad was appropriate. It wasn't advertisement for a book far as I could find (google searched one of the titles got nothing), and it wasn't a bio because of the byline. It was Original Research however, which is specifically mentioned in Criteria for Non-Speedying as not a reason for speedying, but prodding. Therefore since I had (in my mind) eliminated speedying as an option, all that was left was prod. - Jake - Bladeswin | Talk to me | 05:32, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Personal attacks?

Confusion
There seems to be some confusion here. User:Happynoodleboy was my old username, which I had changed to User:Tim1988 through the relevant Wikipedia page for doing so (see here). As far as I can recall, I have not used that account (Happynoodleboy) since and I do all of my editing through User:Tim1988.

I did redirect User:Happynoodleboy to User:Tim1988 so that other editors would recognise that I have changed my name.

I have checked the contribs for User:Happynoodleboy and I see "No changes were found matching these criteria".

I'm not ruling out that the old account might have been compromised, but I see no vandalism edits made there myself and I certainly wouldn't vandalise myself. Can you please explain what the problem is here? Much appreciated. --Tim1988 talk 11:45, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Exodus
I've blocked the guy for 48 hours. I probably should do an infinite block on him as the account is brand new and his actions are a bit more than what one would expect from a "clueless newbie", but not all of his edits are obvious vandalism, so I don't think I can do that. If after his block expires on Saturday he continues to post nonsense and vandalism, please let me know and I'll block him indefinitely.

Re: Christopher barrow
In regards to this user's contributions ([]), I have placed db-nocontext tags on the two "worst case scenario" articles he created. I was wondering, though, what the appropriate warning tags are to place on his talk page. As you know, the db-nocontext tag does not generate a handy talk page warning.

 * Can you give me links to the deleted articles, please? I can see the deleted content and let you know what to say to the editor. (aeropagitica) 20:35, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm... I'm not sure how to go about doing that, now that they've been deleted. They'd not been deleted yet when I left the original message. I honestly do not know... ---Charles 20:38, 28 November 2006 (UTC)


 * If you know the names of the articles-in-question, place them in your response in link format and they will appear red. I can see the history of the deleted articles from there. (aeropagitica) 20:41, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok, let me see if I can remember these correctly (he misspelled both titles, so that does not help): Worst case scenenio and Worst case scenareo 9/11. I think that was it, though I am less certain of the second one. ---Charles 20:45, 28 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Right, I can see both articles now and they are both problematic. They are rhetorical school essays rather than encyclopedic content, probably because this user is twelve years old and doesn't know any better.  I don't think that there are any templates that you can use to offer guidance to Christopher, so your advice will have to be crafted to his needs.  I would comment on reading around the topic before starting articles.  This is important because another editor may already have had the idea and it saves Christopher wasting time when he could contribute to something in existence.  I would go on to mention the importance of correct spelling and grammar when writing articles.  This can be corrected by writing articles offline and using a spell checker to make any corrections.  He can also use an adult - parent, guardian, teacher, etc - to proof read the article to see if he can make it better before publishing.


 * As Christopher's maturity is such that he is making fundamental errors in concept, layout and articulation of his ideas, I would suggest that he request to be adopted by another user who can offer guidance in editing Wiki articles, rather than creating them from scratch. This would be a better approach than tagging all of his efforts and telling him that the articles have been deleted.  I think that this approach would foster a positive attitude towards contributing, which is great from someone born in 1994!  They could be a potential long-term contributor if handled in this manner.  I would also look at things like categories of Wikipedians born around the same time as Christopher.  Perhaps someone there would be willing to assist him, as they may have similar experiences?  These are just ideas off the top of my head, feel free to ignore them and make your own ideas up!

Don't forget to subst: templates!
Hi,

When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use &#123;&#123;subst:test&#125;&#125; instead of &#123;{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

Thanks! :)

Thanks Charles. All those accounts are now indef-blocked. He'll probably make more socks, though, so when you see them, take them to WP:AIV and make sure to note that you're requesting indef. In the AIV reports, make a link to this block log which notes the user made legal threats, and all further socks should be blocked on sight indefinitely. Thanks again. — coe l acan — 21:07, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

King SohCahToa
Hello. I've removed the db-nonsense tag you had placed on the page King Sohcatoa. It's actually a well-known mnemonic. Now of course, I doubt that there is much value to having this as an article but still, this should go to AfD since I'm not sure that there would even be much in the way of consensus to delete this. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 01:54, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Scrambled Eggs (Beatles)
This was a portion of an article taken from Scrambled Eggs the culinary dish, so it is nonsense, than its from another user which I am removing from the other article. Hence the explanation in the posting and link to the disambiguation page.--Christopher Tanner, CCC 03:52, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I added more information to he article, but as you stated it probably should just link to the Yesterday song page. I don't usually work on non-food articles, so I didn't think to look to that page to find if I should just redirect the page there.  Thank you for messaging back to my reply.--Christopher Tanner, CCC 04:04, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Anthony vanity

Hi there; I know you asked User:Gwernol, but nothing is private here, we are wiki-friends and he will not mind me answering. The only thing on your talk page which we prefer not to be deleted are official warnings of deletions or blocks.

Re Question regarding vandalism
If I may trouble you for a moment, I would like your advice. I gave an anonymous user (68.239.94.42) a final warning earlier this evening for his continued POV-pushing in the Keith Olbermann article. In the meantime, whilst I was not online, he has repeated the edits, and been reverted twice. However, neither of the other editors bothered to give him any warnings---which has been the pattern all along, because he has been repeating these same edits all evening, and received narry a warning until I reverted him. Should I now report him on AIV, or ask one of the other editors who has reverted him to do it? I know that this is a very long message for a seemingly simple question, but I feel it is important to give all the details. Thanks for your time. ---Charles 04:15, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Jesse D. Jennings
If there's no existing page at the correct title (as there wasn't here), just move the incorrect page to the correct title. The incorrect title will become a redirect, which you can leave if it's a plausible typo, or mark for deletion (speedy category r3) if it's not. I deleted the redirect here. Thanks, NawlinWiki 03:25, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Disambig pages
It really depends on if there is a primary usage of the term, and if there will be a risk of confusion with similarly-named articles. If Charles W. Fairbanks is the primary use, then Charles Fairbanks should probably just redirect to his article, since that's what most people who type that name in would be looking for. If neither is the primary use of the term, then Charles Fairbanks should be a disambig page. It looks to me like the vice president is more prominent (at least there are many more incoming links), so I just linked to the archaeologist at the top of the page. If there were more than two notable Charles Fairbankses, then a disambig page should be created (probably at Charles Fairbanks (disambiguation)).--Cúchullain t/ c 04:24, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Bootblack
I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Bootblack. I do not think that Bootblack fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because Previous speedy deletes are no reason for current ones, and this is not is simple dictdef to be deleted for redundancy with wiktionary. editing to a stub, and/or afd, seems the way to go on this one, IMO. I request that you not re-tag Bootblack for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. DES (talk) 17:32, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Jennifer Connelly Polyglot issue

 * Copyrighted photos of living people aren't generally fair use, they eventually get tagged as replaceable then get deleted. Can I get some input here please? Discussion seems to have ground to a halt, and the category has just been unilaterally recreated (and soon deleted again hopefully) by the last editor I invited to the discussion. Thanks. One Night In Hackney 303 12:36, 13 May 2007 (UTC)


 * It was originally created by Gaimhreadhan after Vintagekits correctly removed a "people killed by" category from articles about places and the like. The category was nominated for deletion and kept in a ridiculous manner, as (in my opinion anyway) nobody wanting to keep it could address the problems with the category. However I was told I could de-populate the category while the deletion discussion was ongoing, and it was deleted for being empty. Then it was re-created, and they started to populate it again, ignoring the fact that there was no consensus for it to be used on any particular article, just a dubious consensus for it to exist. Then to prevent edit wars the category itself was deleted just leaving the talk page, and you've seen the rest. Without wishing to blow my own trumpet, the obvious answer to the lack of discussion is that the editors in favour of using the category (or something similar) couldn't actually rebut any of my arguments why it shouldn't be used. You also need to see this (althouh there's ample confusion about that still) to understand the CfD debate more, and this is today's debacle, complete with very dubious edits to the article itself. One Night In Hackney 303 14:59, 13 May 2007 (UTC)


 * For some reason the same editors never give the UDA/UVF/LVF/etc articles the same level of scrutiny.

One Night In Hackney 303 16:17, 13 May 2007 (UTC)


 * To be fair, there's people pushing extreme POVs on both sides, like this change to Proxy bomb.

 * Nothing to worry about there really. One thing I'd possibly recommend is that instead of just tagging the article and using the prod warning template, that you just explain what it would take for the articles to meet notability guidelines. Don't link to the guidelines, a couple of sentences would be all that's needed. You can ignore the Arbuthnot part of the page and start from this part, makes it nice and easy to see what goes on.

Re: Forestkelley's edits
Well, I don't 100% agree with your assessment, the page he is creating in loop is a blatant advertisement for a company. I might be wrong (I often am ;), but most newcomers that make a mistake like a copyright one try to contact the person that left them a message, write something on their talk page or write "DONT DELET PLIX" in big friendly letters at the top of the article. He just bluntly copy pasted the same presentation page from a company 3 times in a row, without wondering why his page was deleted. I am someone that assumes a lot of good faith (I had some big disappointments), but to be honest his behavior looked much more like the average spammer than a newcomer. I'd love being wrong :) -- lucasbfr talk 22:57, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh I missed the article. He might be acting very boldly in good faith, but he is ignoring all the copyright notices that were left on his page :(. Sadly, that article too is copy pasted from the radio's website. I'm going to see if there is a way to save the article (first, by asserting notability ^^). -- lucasbfr talk 23:05, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I speedy tagged it, all the content was copy pasted and I really don't feel like rewording an article that might be A7ed in a blink. I left him a note about copyright. -- lucasbfr talk 23:33, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Well according to the more vocal of them (and empty vessels make the most noise after all!) anyone that has appeared on TV for a major promotion (no matter for how short a time) is notable, so obviously by that logic any actor who has ever appeared on a major TV show is notable. There's no proper souce material, so what we basically end up with is 1000s of poor four sentence stubs that are a disgrace to Wikipedia. But try and delete any of them, and the ensuing discussion is ten times longer than the actual article. Plus they all turn up en masse (sound familiar?) and ignore guidelines and policies, I wish they would understand this is an enyclopedia not a wrestling fan site...

I've got his book on order actually, hopefully it should arrive soon so I can create the article on him.

Matthew Ryan Sims Speedy Deletion
I think you should think twice about deleting this wikipedia entry. Matthew serves in the United States Military and because of him and the thousand others that fight in our nations military deserve to be put in wikipedia. I dont think you would know anything about sacrafice you just sit there behind the computer and delete and edit pages at will. I know wiki is not myspace but i think people need to know a little about the people that serve in the united states military. I think the article was written without lies and without promoting anything other than what matthew is all about. If you would like i can put down his contributions to the war effort in iraq.

 * Take a look at Irish Republicanism tasks and see if there's anything you can help with, or just anything from Category:WikiProject Irish Republicanism articles is probably in need of attention as well. A lot of what needs doing is dependent on sources which you might not have as a lot are books, but there's plenty or articles need a good looking over for spelling, grammar and the like. I tend to spend my time on the more difficult work like sourcing and expanding, so I tend to overlook the small but simple tasks. Thanks. One Night In Hackney  303  13:59, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Great, the more the merrier. I bought plenty of books the other day anyway including ones on the Easter Rising and Collins, so once I start reading those I'll have plenty more articles I can improve easier. The Easter Rising is definitely one that should be a good article at least in my opinion, just needs plenty of work doing on it first. One Night In Hackney  303  15:13, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm feeling creative today. I decided to create something similar to 1981 Hunger Strike for the Easter Rising.

One Night In Hackney  303  15:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * If you want something reasonably simple to do that I really should get round to doing myself, there's a detailed reasoning of why Bobby Sands failed GA on the talk page, and it looks reasonably simple to fix. I think there's room for more improvement apart from that as well also, so if you do fix it don't nominate it for GA just yet. Thanks. One Night In Hackney  303  00:32, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Reverting suspected linkspam
Hi there: I noted that you'd reverted what you suggested was linkspam by 66.208.21.146 in the Ellery Queen article. I have been working on that article and noted the addition into "Further Reading" and actually thought it was pretty good -- the author is a published mystery writer, the article is in one of the very few journals that directly touches on the field of detective fiction and the topic of the article was on-target. I thought you might have suspected that the editor was in some way connected with the journal, so I went and looked up another couple of this editor's recent edits, and gee, I have to say they were really good suggestions and they were for different books and journals. It's tough to find good citations in the field of detective fiction and this person has come up with some very good ones, and has been contributing to a lot of mystery writers where "further reading" is tough to find. Any chance you could reconsider this as not being linkspam and un-revert it? I'd like to see if we can enlist this person into the crime task force. Accounting4Taste 22:46, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, you know, I didn't see one that linked to Clues as being for sale, so I may have jumped to a conclusion. Clues is certainly a reputable journal.  I looked up the Agatha Christie link and it was for a well-known mystery writer who wrote his master's thesis on Christie and had it published, far more scholarly than most Christie references, and that reference hadn't been there AFAIK, so that made me think that the editor was trying to be helpful.  I see that this editor has just joined today.  If you don't mind, then, I'd like to assume that this editor is working in good faith and revert these edits, and I'll certainly keep an eye open for the potential of linkspam.  Thank you very much for your response and for working with me on this.  If you have any further concerns, I'm at your service. Accounting4Taste 23:04, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I appreciate the kind words. I haven't been here all that long myself, but I'll try to shepherd this new editor into better Wikipedia ways.  Thanks for your help and your courtesy.  Accounting4Taste 23:23, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I am a mystery writer and the managing editor of CLUES, which is the only US scholarly journal on mystery and detective fiction. I certainly wasn't spamming Wikipedia when I added article titles in Wikipedia entries on often hard-to-find mystery subjects. I suppose I should add items under "Further reading" rather than "References" to avoid confusion. Further info on the journal may be found at http://www.heldref.org/clues.php
