Deletion of C.H.M college
Hi Tgeairn,I'm the individual editor from Titwala(Mumbai) who edited about the C.H.M. college,can you explain to me the deletion decision of this particular article ? I've added lots of thing about this college & it took quite a long time,because I've to be focused lots of thing like neutral point of view,sources editing policy etc. My personal involvement doesn't carry any other involvement with this article other than i'am here(C.H.M college) only and i think i am following all the ongoing news that are happening in this college.But yes i also know that it is a subjective matter the whole world is going to assured on you because of wiki articles and some irrelevant things can be truly not suitable for that.I've spent more than 4 years in this college i definitely may not be knowing everything about the article.I've uploaded recent independence day images, collected from official website but it should be definitely removed if it does not fulfil Wikipedia policy and i strongly support it. The previous information about the article was totally incomplete and i tried to correct them(i can’t remember about those much :P).The sentence as Wikipedia deletion policy i can make it now. If we want to be you know entirely encyclopaedic and also if we don't want to encourage people to go and study over there then the whole content and their respective information should be replaced with anything we wish. Let them known with incomplete information and feel no use of pages.I also added much about a movie named “Ek Ruka Hua Faisla”, i don’t know whether  that page will be there or not. But anyway dear really feel sorry for the violation, vandalize etc. With articles.i'will try to make some changes without violating anymore, but i also would like enthusiastic cooperation that could help me towards positive approach in order to correct mistakes in the page it already has. I definitely re-edit the whole section again as I’m not going to give up anyhowRavishankar (talk) 14:07, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

what if it is WP:IOWN how can I include this body of work Alice0000 (talk) 03:34, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I saw that you indicated permission/ownership on the Talk page, but the material was still flagged. I suggest either following the steps at WP:Copyright_problems or WP:IOWN. Basically it will be either submitting info that legally approves the use of copyrighted material or putting rewritten content up at a temp page and letting an administrator paste it in and close. I would close this given the rewrite you did, but I don't have the authority to do that. Thanks for asking, and please don't hesitate to continue to ask. --Tgeairn (talk) 03:42, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Tgeiarn, could you please comment on that article's talk page? I don't believe that a simple listing of facts, which is what that art section is, rises to the level of copyrightable material. Its always possible that I am wrong, though, so more input will help. Qwyrxian (talk) 08:13, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Dispute of material content
I'm new with Wiki i had updated stuff on Miranda Lamberts page something was added that had nothing to do with Miranda Lambert.I had removed it and didn't realize you weren't supposed to and things got out of hand between me and the individual.Once i figured what was going on i tried talking with the individual but thy wouldn't reply.And got really out of hand as they used my username on the Wiki page.

I know you are aware of this as you have blocked this content from displaying on Miranda's Wiki page.For future reference what should i do to deal with this if it happens again this was not an attempt to argue with them.But i did question what purpose the content had on her page and i will do better to respect and comply with the rules and guidelines here.As noted i've never edited and wasn't trying to start anything just a misunderstanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tobyhoney (talk • contribs) 20:13, 27 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello and welcome! First, your edits look constructive and you were fine to remove the material you did. Where things took a turn was when you started to get involved in what we refer to as an edit war. See that link for an understanding of what is and is not warring, and for ideas on how to resolve the issue without getting into the "fight". I have removed the warning that another editor inaccurately placed on your Talk page. I also left a message for you there with some helpful links on getting started. Thank you, and Happy Editing! --Tgeairn (talk) 20:28, 27 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes i appreciate you providing me with them useful links and i will take full advantage of them.Again i went about this all the wrong way wasn't my intention of warring with the editor i will know better next time.And to do this is in a appropriate manner thanks again for your help on this subject.--Tobyhoney (talk) 21:49, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

New Page Triage engagement strategy released
Hey guys!

I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work. This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this. Please give both a read, and leave any comments or suggestions you have on the talkpage, on my talkpage, or in my inbox -.

It's awesome to finally get to start work on this! :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 02:08, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

 * You're correct that there is a pattern of behavior there. However, the editor has not edited in the last two 1+ days. Given that this is an anonymous IP address and could be used by any number of users, it would be rare to block except during active vandalism or abuse. I will keep an eye on that IP, but unless there is an active issue there is little to do. Please feel free to bring any future issues to me though!

An explanation for my Blanking
Hi Tgeairn! Thanks for the quick response to my clearing; sorry I didn't make that more clear in the Edit Summary. This page was for the University of Michigan Wikipedians Organization's Trivia Night. We realized, though, that the answers were available online! We didn't want to have them available in a google search so I cleared it. Sorry again! Thanks for being so diligent though. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pixor (talk • contribs) 01:04, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Heroes 6
What I wrote is true. However, i'm not familiar with the referencing modality. I know were are the source : it's on the ubi forums, you just have to look on the change log of the version : no mention of ai, balance and many bugs fixing.

Also, i'm somewhat disappointed by the reception section : it doesn't state how this game is a disappointment for most people that bought it, and the poor reception it has on the forums. The section only describe the critics point of view : critics that are more biased than consumers ( because sometime payed to give good rating), or that played the games only a few hour and rushed their critics. You can find most people that have played this game for months on many forums, especially this one (the biggest community) : http://heroescommunity.com/. I have yet to see someone that isn't disappointed by the games on those forums, which was not the case with any previous installment of the game.

Thanks. Anonymous_carl. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.230.144.8 (talk) 02:07, 9 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello, and thanks for following up. As an editor on Wikipedia, I don't have an opinion as to whether or not the text you added to Might & Magic Heroes VI is true. What is important here is that material added to the encyclopedia is verifiable and reliably sourced. If you have a web link to a source from Ubisoft that "x was not yet fixed", then use that as a citation for your statement. If you need help getting started with citing sources, check out this article. If your source is a UbiSoft changelog, then you might be able to say something like "Ubisoft did not list any AI improvements in patch version X.XX" and then cite the changelog.
 * Regarding the reception section, the point you make is one that often arises. Again though, this project is about verifiable facts, not opinions from non-reliable sources (such as forums).
 * I hope this helps, please let me know if I can answer anything else. Happy Editing! --Tgeairn (talk) 02:20, 9 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Here I have the link to the upcoming 1.3 patch and the other upcoming patches as proof.

Leslie Cochran
Thanks, or not, for killing a minor tribute to Leslie. Please advise on how to cite "folk wisdom" as the add was clearly labeled. 72.195.138.84 (talk) 03:02, 9 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello, and thank you for asking. As an encyclopedia, content in this project should be verifiable and reliably sourced. If you can find a reliable source for the statement, then feel free to add it (sourced, of course). It is not impossible to source "folk wisdom", for instance there are any number of reliable sources about folk stories surrounding George Washington. The wisdom doesn't have to be true in a true or false sense, but there needs to be a source saying that the folk wisdom exists as such. Thanks, and happy editing! --Tgeairn (talk) 03:14, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

About Talk:Columbo history
T., regarding this (in case you didn't see my reply)...please see here to get some general history. There's a reason I've been engaging User:B3430715.— Djathink imacowboy  05:26, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for replying here. I did see your response, and I have been watching the various exchanges between editors at and other talk pages. I understand that you feel a need to continue to engage, but that is almost always a good time to go work on something else for a bit. I am not endorsing any editor's position, just saying that things are getting personal and it may be time to get back to a content based discussion. As you know, there are a variety of means to get a dispute resolved, including WP:ANB and WP:DISPUTE. The goal here is "Staying cool when the editing gets hot".  Thanks again for taking the time to respond here, and happy editing! --Tgeairn (talk) 05:39, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * A gracious reply to me, Cheers for that. Your words are not wasted. In fact I am presently enjoying the perusal of Amazon! Also I am truly glad you came along to the talk to remind us we need to discuss content.— Djathink imacowboy  05:42, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

I realize the above mentioned articles, which according to Alan Liefting, were going to be eliminated, already I discussed with, because newly it began to realize them and already he was saying to myself that they were going to be eliminate you, now you say to me that it should not eliminate them because they are going to block me, please, put in agreement and so to do. I wait for his response--Hernan1483 (talk) 03:10, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello! I apologize. I did not realize that you were the original creator of those pages.  I have since flagged them as "blanked by creator", which should resolve the issue. Again, I apologize for the warning that went onto your talk page, and I will correct that now.  Thanks, and happy editing!  --Tgeairn (talk) 03:13, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

There is no problem, though lamentably I will not be able to edit them: (, since well I began to do them today, Alan I think that they were inclined to Speedy deletion and after an unnecessary discussion, since anyhow Alan Liefting was not going to change opinion in the matter and was going to eliminate them I itself erased, I wait to be able to edit them hereinafter.

Withnail and I drinking game edit
129.67.51.91 (talk) 03:27, 30 April 2012 (UTC) The Withnail and I edit I did on the page was one based on a simple google search and seeks not to provide factual or philosophical information but interest. You can search the words "G & T with Richard E. G." and find that this name is regularly used for the drinking game.

I find the deletion of this odd and question on what grounds it has happened? Is there any evidence that it is not specifically called "G & T with Richard E. G."? After all, when it comes to cohesion and consensus, the google search should provide suitable evidence for the name of the game.

 * Hello, and thanks for asking! Content on Wikipedia must be verifiable in reliable sources. When adding content to articles, be sure to provide citation for the addition. Thanks again, and happy editing! --Tgeairn (talk) 03:37, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

129.67.51.91 (talk) 03:50, 30 April 2012 (UTC) Hello, as I mentioned, information which describes consensus and cohesion should probably be based on such things. As no statistical evidence for what people call drinking games exists surely an acceptable 'source' is the google count of its regularity would show consensus and cohesion. Regards, 3Dtarken

Sorry
Sorry, I was making a small edit to the page when I accidentally selected all of the text and in my rush to deselect it accidentally pressed enter, resulting in the loss of the content. I didn't know how to get it back, but I am glad to see it has been restored. 217.41.79.214 (talk) 18:16, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

req for help on the phage display article
Hey,could you participate/moderate/keep an eye on the phage display stuff? see Talk:Phage_display for my feedback to the editor in question. Tell me if i am WP:BITEing. ThanksStaticd (talk) 07:27, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I will likely comment at the article talk as well, but it is my opinion that you are not WP:BITEing. The editor you are engaged in discussion with is attempting to make significant changes to a few related articles, but has not addressed concerns regarding sourcing and verfiability. I will keep an eye on the discussion and (if necessary) help steer it in a productive direction. --Tgeairn (talk) 20:53, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Do have a look at my last attempt post on his talk page.Staticd (talk) 21:23, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I saw (and read) your post at the editor's talk page. Very appropriate and articulate. Hopefully, they will respond in kind.
 * On a related note, you may already be aware that similar editing activity is going on at Frederick Sanger. These articles can lean toward the technical at times, and I definitely don't qualify as a biochemist, but the sourcing issues keep me from actively improving the additions of the editor in question.

Hi Tgeairn, since the template was a PROD the user was entitled to remove it; I've honored that. However, I do think the article is a good AFD candidate. Cheers, 99.153.142.225 (talk) 02:46, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I didn't mean to jump the gun on that. When removing a PROD, the editor should either explain on the talk page or in their edit summary what their reasoning is for removal. In this case, the editor did not do that and I reverted the removal. Let's leave it removed for now, and I will review later for AfD. As you said, it is a likely candidate.  Thanks, and Happy Editing! --Tgeairn (talk) 02:53, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. The user appears to be new, but deleted maintenance templates multiple times, considering them 'defamatory'. I've brought the article up for discussion here, so as to bring more eyes to it, and remove myself from the possibility of warring. Cheers, 99.153.142.225 (talk) 02:58, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Is there any chance of having assistance in creating this page as a biography? Many of the facts are documented photographically and hosted on wikicommons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Lmpartners? True guidance would greatly appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.173.127.108 (talk) 03:41, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It looks like some other editors have jumped in to help you out with this article. I will also likely chime in with some pointers or additions in the next few days, but not tonight (too late for me!). Please review the links included with the welcome message I left on your talk page... There is VERY valuable information in those links. We welcome new editors, and contributing to an encyclopedia is a great undertaking. Don't be discouraged by the rough start that some of your edits have had. Belive it or not, it is not unusual at all for biographies of living persons to have a difficult start. We strive to maintain a verifiable and quality encyclopedia, and (as I am sure you can understand) biographies are particularly difficult to get started off in the right direction. Thank you, and please feel free to ask any questions here or use the links I provided. Happy Editing! --Tgeairn (talk) 03:58, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your kind encouragement. The wikipedia project is fascinating. I have a lot of material about many interesting living notable people, but my experiece is quite limited in the digital world. Hopefully I can find the proper way to share good material. Thank you again for your assistance.
 * There are a number of issues that come to mind, 68, but let's begin with two. The documents referred to above are not, for the most part, acceptable as reliable sources to be used in an article--a thoughtful reading of WP:RELIABLE is a good place to start. Their inclusion suggests a confusion between the purpose of an encyclopedic entry and something akin to a personal scrapbook. The second concern, perhaps incorrect, is that you may be editing the article using several accounts. If, however, that's the case, please edit hereon with one account. Thanks, 99.153.142.225 (talk) 04:42, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Just to be clear, I am not using several accounts to edit. There is one account where photos are hosted on wikicommons and this IP.

I have started to become a bit more familiar with the process now. After seeing an example of how Tjeairn did a ref link edit, I found a bit of footing. I realize it is not near perfect, but hopefully it is coming in line as desired by both of you and the community as a whole. Your guidance and assistance is greatly appreciated. Editing the links to appear properly at the bottom of the page is still a challenge.

Warnings
Dear Tgeairn:

I feel bound to inform you that I, the creator of my present account, did never edit the page called pierogi. I had never made the obscene edit. All the information that I add to Wikipedia are true and accurate to my knowledge. I feel that I am being insulted in public with such feedback from divers persons. It appears that on multiple occasions you had identified edits that constitute vandalism that are attributed to my account. I hereby disclaim all these edits, as I had never made them.

Alex0723alex0723 (talk) 17:10, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello, and thank you for your feedback. It is likely that prior to creating and logging in with an account, you were seeing messages as a result of editing using a shared IP address. So long as you log in and use the account you have created, you should not receive messages for anyone other than you. Thanks again, and Happy Editing! --Tgeairn (talk) 17:28, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Ashley Gorley
Regarding this edit; the blog you removed is from CMT, a television network dedicated to country music. Their site's content has been accepted without question in countless articles. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 18:39, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello! I removed that one blog entry as it is truly just an unsourced blog entry (unlike most of the other references on that page which are postings by editors of the associated publications). By my understanding of WP:BLOGS, blog entries should never be used as third-party sources. If taken entirely as written, WP:BLOGS appears to exclude some of the other sources used in the Ashley Gorley article as well - but I only removed the truly obvious (IMHO) offender. Thanks for the note, and Happy Editing! --Tgeairn (talk) 21:45, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * WP:BLOGS only applies to self-published blogs. So if Ashley Gorley had his own blog, it wouldn't be an acceptable source in a BLP. But a blog from a television network, newspaper or other reputable work is just fine. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:59, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Aha, found it. WP:BLPSPS says, "Some news organizations host online columns that they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professionals and the blog is subject to the newspaper's full editorial control." Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:03, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * That isn't my understanding of that policy. If the policy were intended to apply only to blogs self-published by the subject of an article, then the policy would not specifically say that blogs cannot be used as third-party sources in the case of BLP. The reference I removed was to a self-published article on the CMT blogs, and self-published articles cannot be used as a third-party reference for a BLP. WP:BLPSPS also covers this, stating that SPS cannot be used as sources for BLP unless written by the subject. Am I missing something? Thanks! --Tgeairn (talk) 22:07, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the guiding principle here is that we don't want sources for BLP articles that are not subject to professional (accredited) editorial review, unless they are verifiably statements made by the subject of the BLP. --Tgeairn (talk) 22:09, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * But as I pointed out, the CMT blog falls under "writers are professionals and the blog is subject to[…]full editorial control". By "personal" blog they mean just your average joe's blog on Blogspot, or a Tumblr owned by a couple fans, or the like. Also, turns out I was wrong about one point. If Ashley Gorley had a blog, it could be used as a source on his own article only, as long as the content in the blog post isn't unduly self-serving or makes claims about third parties. The CMT source is probably not the best, but nearly anything originating from CMT.com should be just fine since there's editorial insight. You might want to take it up at RSN since I'm not good at interpreting policy and guideline. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:14, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Richard Dakwins edit

 * Don't forget to add this one too skeptic.com.au Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 06:21, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * As Jim1138 so concisely pointed out, it is likely to be difficult to present that video from a neutral point of view. I expect that if you are interested in including both the POVs of the video creators and of Mr. Dawkins, then the article talk page is the best place to develop the content before adding it. Without first getting consensus for the change, it will almost certainly be removed as not adhering to a neutral point of view, or as being unsourced if you add any commentary other than direct quotes from the video. Thanks, and Happy Editing! --Tgeairn (talk) 06:36, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi thanks for the quick reply. Is the format of it acceptable now? I included that link thanks.
 * From my particular perspective, your additions look pretty good. Other editors at that article will likely weigh the addition in context and with an eye for possible undue weight as well. If someone reverts your changes, take it to the talk page. Thank you for your questions, and don't hesitate to ask in the future as well! Happy Editing. --Tgeairn (talk) 06:42, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

ThePirateBay edit reverting
Hey,

You just reverted my edit on the TPB article. Can you please explain why? I know you mentioned that the information was unreferenced. But if you know a fact to be true, but do not have the reference to it, can you not add it? (I am an internet user from India, and I can access TPB. So I take it for granted that the site has been unblocked by atleast some ISPs. On the other hand, the article is misleading about the latest blocking/unblocking history for the site.)

High school sports rivals
Your recent edit of the article for Asbury Park High School removed two schools from a list of rivals in the infobox, citing "rmv rivalries per WP:WPSCH/AG" in the edit summary as justification. The problem is that while the word "rivalry" is used in that policy, what is intended is the practice of citing some factoid about a school and using it to compare that school's presumably superior performance to that of some other school. WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines states that we should "Avoid comparing schools (sports results, exam results) to introduce rivalry or to promote the school. Although written for colleges and universities, the advice in Avoid academic boosterism also applies here. Some examples that have been found in the past:" 'School X has had a long and glorious tradition.' 'School X has been consistently been ranked as one of the top public high schools in both the state and country.' 'School X has one of the lowest admissions rates in the country.' 'School X has 98% A-level passes, school Y 12 miles away has 75%.'" There is no issue with describing that Schools B and C are athletic rivals of School A, an edit that you have made at several school articles, information that should be restored to those articles where it was removed. Alansohn (talk) 19:21, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello, and thanks for your note! The edit you refer to above removed unsourced original research from the article. Yes, the list of What Not to Include was the basic reason I was looking at the article to begin with; however, it should not be added back in unless reliably sourced. In every instance I removed those rivalries, the entry was either unsourced or sourced only by a local (school) newspaper. In both cases, that does not meet our guidelines. Again, thanks for asking and Happy Editing! --Tgeairn (talk) 19:36, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * OOPS! I stand corrected. Yes, those are RS and the rivialries SHOULD stay in article. --Tgeairn (talk) 19:39, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Having spent a lot of time, I agree that many school articles include material that needs to have sources added, but that is a different situation from what WP:WPSCH/AG is intended to address, which excludes material that should not be included even if sourced, such as school songs and laundry lists of colleges that have accepted the high school's graduates. I have found that much of the material in most school articles had been added in good faith by editorsd utterly unaware of Wikipedia's sourcing policy and that sources could usually be readily found for many of these items. It takes more work on my part, but it usually makes the article better to include an item with an appropriate source. Alansohn (talk) 19:43, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree, although it is at times not quite so easy to find reliable sources. For instance, the ones you added to the above article don't actually mention the rivalry in the local article abstracts. It's only the passing mention in the SI article that sources these at all (unless the actual articles do in the local paper, which I am unable to see). Thanks again for your thoughts on this. --Tgeairn (talk) 19:49, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

check sources please
restoring false information repeatedly must surely be more important than "edit warring". Saint-Michel-de-Montaigne (talk) 00:29, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * No, it's not. The article talk pages exist to reach consensus. If the article contains inaccurate information, once you have attempted to correct it (once) then the next appropriate action is to discuss with other editors at the talk page until consensus is achieved. The project will survive for another day or two with inaccurate information, but the project depends on editors treating each other with civility and arriving at consensus. The various notices that I (and others) have posted to your talk page provided links and explanations as to how to resolve content disputes. It appears that you deleted those notices without thoroughly reading or understanding them. --Tgeairn (talk) 00:35, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

James H. Fetzer
FYI: I wanted to let you know that I reverted James H. Fetzer back to the state it was in before Mr. Fetzer inserted a bunch of sources that have already been discussed as unreliable. The reversion also removed the SPS tags you placed. I think that information is OK in that it isn't information that is "unduly self-serving". Cheers! Location (talk) 03:21, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I was in the middle of a big edit and then ... I'm glad you cleared it up. I did re-add the SPS tags to the refs in some cases it isn't necessarily self-serving material, but it does inform the average reader without being overbearing in the article itself. Thanks again, Tgeairn (talk) 03:24, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. I didn't notice how much of it was self-published until you tagged it. Location (talk) 03:25, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, since the article is about him it's not that big of a surprise. The issue is that he keeps using the artice as a COATRACK for his pet stories. I hope that flagging these sources that are written by him will help get the article down to actual WP:RS --Tgeairn (talk) 03:29, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

The Tea Leaf - Issue Five
Hi! Welcome to the fifth edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!


 * Guest activity increased in July. Questions are up from an average of 36 per week in June to 43 per week in July, and guest profile creation has also increased. This is likely a result of the automatic invite experiments we started near the end of month, which seeks to lessen the burden on hosts and other volunteers who manually invite editors. During the last week of July, questions doubled in the Teahouse! (But don't let that deter you from inviting editors to the Teahouse, please, there are still lots of new editors who haven't found Teahouse yet.)
 * More Teahouse hosts than ever. We had 12 new hosts sign up to participate at the Teahouse! We now have 35 hosts volunteering at the Teahouse. Feel free to stop by and see them all here.
 * Phase two update: Host sprint. In August, the Teahouse team plans to improve the host experience by developing a simpler new-host creation process, a better way of surfacing active hosts, and a host lounge renovation. Take a look at the plan and weigh in here.
 * New Teahouse guest barnstar is awarded to first recipient: Charlie Inks. Using the Teahouse barnstar designed by Heatherawalls, hosts hajatvrc and Ryan Vesey created the new Teahouse Guest Barnstar. The first recipient is Charlie Inks, for her boldness in asking questions at the Teahouse. Check out the award in action here.
 * Teahouse was a hot topic at Wikimania! The Teahouse was a hot topic at Wikimania this past month, where editor retention and interface design was heavily discussed. Sarah and Jonathan presented the Teahouse during the Wikimedia Fellowships panel. Slides can be viewed here. A lunch was also held at Wikimania for Teahouse hosts.

As always, thanks for supporting the Teahouse project! Stop by and visit us today!

Cedar Creek/Belle Grove
I've moved the title back to the stable version. I have a strong suspicion that the accounts involved in the move war are either closely related or the same person: both were created at the same time and have parallel editing histories. I note that both made a rapid series of edits to become autoconfirmed. Under those circumstances I will take administrative action against the parties if warranted: this isn't a genuine content dispute in my opinion.  Acroterion   (talk)   02:33, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for putting things back in order. I had the same thought about the editors involved, and this has happened frequently in the past few days that older accounts suddenly move to autoconfirmed and then behave in a manner inconsistent with forwarding the project. Have a good one! --Tgeairn (talk) 06:54, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello,

Today you reverted an edit I made to the Zynga page regarding their stock price stating: "This is your last warning. You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Zynga. Tgeairn (talk) 23:55, 11 August 2012 (UTC)" The edit I made was valid and appropriate. Please follow Wikipedia guidelines and refrain from being a disruptive editor. Truthbetold73 (talk) 00:15, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello! Your edit listed a stock price for Zynga for 13 August 2012. As today is either 11 August or 12 August depending on your time zone, I reverted your edit as a factual error and issued a final warning. I also assumed good faith and verified that neither the Friday close price nor the after-hours trading matched your given information. Please do not continue to disrupt Wikipedia and begin to focus on constructive edits that add to or improve the project. Thanks, and Happy Editing! --Tgeairn (talk) 00:20, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see now. The date was supposed to be Aug 3, not 13.  I will make that edit now.  Since we both assumed good faith please retract your warning.  Thank you Truthbetold73 (talk) 00:27, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Questions
First off, I'd like to know why I wasn't notified of the edit war report you made? I believe it's a rule to notify people. Second, if you payed attention to my edits you would see they're not blind reverts, almost every single one of them is different, including alterations and compromises in an attempt to fix the "faults" the other user found with the previous version of the page. There's a couple blind reverts in there, but the majority of them all include a compromise, which can be seen by viewing the changes from edit to edit.  Fry1989  eh? 23:32, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for asking. I just responded at WP:ANEW. To be clear, I did not make the EW report. I only included the material that was missing from the original report (which only listed the page and editors involved). I thought you had been notified, and I was mistaken in that belief. I apologize. As for the actual edits, I included some of yours which were not you reverting but rather were edits you made that were reverted by the other involved editor. Since both of you were listed in the same report, I was attempting to show both sides in the report. I agree that it looks like you have been trying to reach a compromise. --Tgeairn (talk) 23:36, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
