 * Great username, Sir! Good RC patrol work there. JFW &#124; T@lk  20:47, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much, Sir! Glad to help out.  This lousy t-shirt (talk) 21:09, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I liked you with that name editing Gieves and Hawkes - good job it wasn't your first edit or we'd have thought you worked for a rival.... :) Peridon (talk) 17:48, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
 * LOL, great comment, thanks! That idea would work well here.  WP:UBX "This user vandalized Wikipedia and all they got was This lousy t-shirt".  :) This lousy t-shirt (talk) 19:33, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

I apologize
I apologize deeply for messing up those articles. I implore your forgiveness and did NOT, by any means, want to vandalize.

I genuinely made attempts to improve content. "Life Alert" had several references on it regarding the phrase, including one about an old lady dying alone. I didn't intend the GoRemy link as a "joke", sir, I saw it as a suitable reference to the phrase and its permeance in all realms of society.

As to the Gossip article, I thought it was already implied that it was a sin in Christianity, backed by the verses included. I didn't know that I was working in a non-neutral point of view.

Truly, I meant to edit honestly and in good faith, not in jest or counterproductivity. Please forgive me for my insolence.

Thank you.

P.S.: I do have a user name, but I don't edit under it because I have shamed Wikipedia far too many times to ever show my face I still shiver when I think about one of my biggest blunders, which I really did make in good faith. (Let's just say that I mistook what "nickname" meant in a military article. I learned that it meant what the soldier's fellow men called him, not what other parties did.)


 * No apology is needed (WP:AGF), amends will be made. Not every IP is a vandal. WP:IP. This lousy t-shirt (talk) 22:54, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Apology
Hiya I'm sorry for what you deemed to be vandalism on 'Jewish Messiah claimants' and 'List of people who have claimed to be Jesus'. I didn't mean to vandalise the article I was genuinely trying to improve the article by adding 'False Messiah' on 'see also' as both Jewish Messiah claimants and 'List of people who have claimed to be Jesus' are on the 'False Messiah' disambiguation page therefore thought it would be easier to navigate between the pages if those links were on there too.

I would like to point out that my intention my edits were not to vandalize, I hope you accept my apology, take care, thank you.

 * Accepted. I meant you no harm, friend.  Be careful that your edits are made with a neutral point of view WP:NPOV without bias.  Your sources must be WP:RS.  No original research allowed WP:NOR.  Happy editing!  :)  This lousy t-shirt (talk) 23:20, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Holiday articles
I've been concentrating on articles connected with the holidays. Join me if you possibly can in trying to improve them, make improvements to my improvements. This lousy t-shirt (talk) 05:02, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Speaking of which... I restored the list of objects dropped on New Year's Eve page you redirected to Times Square Ball. I've been working on that page for several months trying to get sources back in place. I also noted that you (maybe not you, but someone) erased any mention of any other ball drop on the Times Square page. I do believe that information has value and is worth keeping as a page, as long as the entries are sourced. If you want to really help me out, there's a huge list of links and references at the bottom of the page that need to be brought inline. Thank you. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 14:50, 16 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll gladly help you with that. It's an interesting list, sorry for redirecting it to Times Square Ball, the one familiar to me.  Some of the listed objects seemed impossible to believe!  Who knew?  LOL.  This lousy t-shirt (talk) 19:52, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * As for your questions... there was a list on the article's talk page of unsourced ones (albeit a little outdated). If it is totally unverifiable, just get rid of it. If you're not sure, move an entry there. Doing a quick Google/Bing/Yahoo/whatever search might be worth the time as well. That, and I'd much prefer keeping everything in the order it is (by time zones), without separating the raisings from the drops. The direction is a matter of semantics. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 05:19, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

You're most welcome
...and thanks for reading the edit summary! I really should have just posted on your talk page to begin with. Thanks for your work to organize that article, and I hope you'll keep at it; it's large, unwieldy, and needs all the help it can get. Let me know if there's anything I can help with,

To be fair, I'm exhausted and edited past my bedtime, LOL.  The article mentions another case and two reliable sources are satisfactory, 100000 would be overkill.  Happy New Year, Happy Editing!

76.250.184.158
In this edit you gave a uw-delete2 warning to IP user for removing the same external link http://www.orthodox-jews.com/ from four articles. Please review WP:External links, particularly WP:ELNO and this guidance: In each case, I do not believe that the inclusion of those links is justifiable per WP:ELNO no.1 – in other words, there's nothing on that external site that could not be part of our article. The fact that exactly the same link has been added to four related articles fits our definition of "external link spam", and I don't see that 76.250.184.158 did anything contrary to policy, much less anything requiring a level-2 warning. In addition, you should be aware that the external site in question is not a reliable source for anything other than its own opinion, and it does not reflect well on you to mistakenly refer to it as such. I have been reviewing the IP's contributions and, although he is clearly zealous, he is also not engaged in vandalism, in my humble opinion. Good faith requires us not to bite the newcomers. I'd be grateful if you'd take a moment to review those contributions, and see if you would agree with me. I leave it up to you, but were I in your position, I'd strike the warning you left on his talk page and remove the spam links from those four articles. Regards --RexxS (talk) 03:24, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "... it is not Wikipedia's purpose to include a lengthy or comprehensive list of external links related to each topic. No page should be linked from a Wikipedia article unless its inclusion is justifiable according to this guideline and common sense. The burden of providing this justification is on the person who wants to include an external link."

And why exactly are you wandering around undoing ALL of my edits from various articles? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.250.184.158 (talk) 04:08, 7 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Full retraction and apology on your talk page. I'm a vandal hunter.  If you check my history, you'll see that I sent caution notices to the other editors in those same articles but I'm pretty certain RexxS means you are the only editor whose warning I should strike.

Over-reverting
Also, just a note... please try to limit the scope of your undos. I tried to separate my edits into chunks so they could be kept/removed at will... it's not necessary to undo ALL of them - doing so creates the false impression that your disagreement is with the person rather than with the edit. I know that's not true, so please pick and choose the edits you disagree with as best you can, and let the ones you don't specifically oppose stay. It is easier to improve an article when we're not throwing out the "good" edits with the "bad". Thanks for understanding,

-- Joren (talk) 15:30, 12 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I took the liberty of reverting Christmas worldwide to the version immediately BEFORE the content was merged, since that was what you expressed disagreement with. I understand you made some changes since the reversion, removing some duplicated content from Christmas Eve.  I wanted to keep the work in removing the uberlinking and the organizational work that had been done.  However, in doing so, I am sorry to say I have also undone your removal of content that was duplicated from Christmas Eve.  Nobody likes having their edits thrown out, and after we arrive at a consensus I'll be glad to help scan Christmas worldwide and Christmas Eve for duplicated content that needs to be removed (that was the whole point of me wanting to merge it, anyway :) )


 * -- Joren (talk) 15:41, 12 January 2011 (UTC)


 * It's quite alright and it's something that you were fair in bringing it to my attention. The tendency of mine to revert like that probably comes from my Counter-Vandalism work, where drastic revisions are more necessary while editing and thinking at the speed of light.  But I love working with other editors on the same articles and doing so constructively and  harmoniously.  So consider us a team!  This lousy t-shirt (talk) 16:02, 12 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Understood - I have an itchy trigger finger myself. I posted over at Talk:Christmas Eve, look forward to any ideas you may have to figure out a way forward for these two articles.
 * -- Joren (talk) 16:13, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * BTW - Thanks for all your work on the Christmas worldwide mess. Wanted to suggest two things:
 * Don't use the minor flag for anything but really minor corrections. See WP:MINOR
 * When adding new information, please provide a source. See WP:V.  In theory, (e.g. WP:V), unsourced statements should never be added to an article.  In practice, they get added all the time and seem to enjoy a gray area under WP:UNSOURCED as long as nobody challenges them (e.g. You don't need to cite that the sky is blue.)  However, in an article this big with readers from around the world who want to be able to verify whether traditions are correct or not, the reader's sky may well be gray, black, red/orange, or (in particularly interesting storms) green in their corner of the globe.  It's best if we can get it sourced right the first time (unless the sky is a particularly pleasant shade of blue); if we don't, we could end up with more "naughty children" to fix later...  you never know, this article may not get this kind of attention again for years to come :O
 * I'm gonna be away from Wikipedia for the weekend, but I'll see if I can pop in and add another country or two worth of sources before then. Thanks again for your hard work!
 * -- Joren (talk) 05:42, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. I'll go back over it again very carefully and make certain about all of that and make changes accordingly.  Appreciate the advice/direction and feedback too.  There's definitely some double-checking and MORE tweaking to be done like maybe removing what I said about garden salad for instance (LOL).  By the way, I think my edits are marked as "minor" by default in my preferences (which can be changed).  Enjoy the weekend (Will try to do the same) and thanks again!  :)  This lousy t-shirt (talk) 06:00, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Minor by default? Wow, didn't know that was possible :O  Thanks for your diligence!
 * -- Joren (talk) 06:08, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. If you go to your Special:Preferences and the option "editing" it's listed in the section Advanced options and if you check the box it will mark all your edits as minor by default.  By the way, anybody else who reads this, don't do that of course.  And you're welcome.  :)  This lousy t-shirt (talk) 06:36, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Time for rollback
Hey there This lousy t-shirt. I think you are fit for a new privilege, rollback. Having rollback allows you to have other more efficient vandal-fighting tools, such as Huggle, igloo, and many others! You can request it here. -- Perseus, Son  of Zeus  20:07, 14 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much for saying so and bless you for that. [[Image:Face-grin.svg|20px]] I've felt shy about requesting rollback in case I hadn't been here long enough but will do that now.  Those are tools worth having!
 * (Thanks too for the tweak which got rid of the underscores).

Reviewer permission
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 revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was 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.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   21:53, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Rollback
Hello, per your request, I've granted you Rollback rights! Just remember:
 * Rollback gives you access to certain scripts, including Huggle and Igloo, some of which can be very powerful, so exercise caution
 * Rollback is only for blatant vandalism
 * Having Rollback rights does not give you any special status or authority
 * Misuse of Rollback can lead to its removal by any administrator
 * Please read Help:Reverting and Rollback feature to get to know the workings of the feature
 * You can test Rollback at New admin school/Rollback
 * You may wish to display the User wikipedia/rollback userbox and/or the Rollback top icon on your user page
 * If you have any questions, please do let me know.

Hey there
Just curious why you removed this section? Basket of Puppies 18:45, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Replies for previous two sections

 * 1. The IP number titled the section "Schizophrenics sensitive to gluten".  I'm sorry but I cannot assume their good faith because that is not a WP:NPOV.  It's specifically written to insinuate that SCHIZOPHRENICS are sensitive to gluten.  As if people who are mentally healthy don't have that problem.  Or as if only mentally unhealthy people would have that problem.
 * 2. Why leave in a section titled something so offensive ?  Which was ORIGINAL RESEARCH and NOT WP:V OR WP:RS ?
 * 3. Was it necessary for two editors to create TWO new sections for the purpose of criticizing me?  Why not have it all in one section titled : Here is how This lousy t-shirt screwed up today (or something like that)?  This lousy t-shirt (talk) 18:57, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Did not mean to be critical. I for one support your deletion of this new section. WRT new editors they often are not aware of the rules of Wikipedia. Thus we being here longer should always be polite no matter what their comments. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:03, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

January 2011
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Talk:Schizophrenia. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording, and content that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.  Basket of Puppies  22:21, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
 * 2) Editors violating the rule will usually be blocked for 24 hours for a first incident.
 * 3) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
 * Apparently I will need to put a note on the talk page of the editor who added the content back to the discussion page. It's not a violation of policy for me to do that as long as the note is WP:CIVIL and will probably resolve the matter.


 * Should Wikipedia allow a statement that a study has shown there's a "connection" between Celiac Disease and Schizophrenia which advocates locking people afflicted with gluten sensitivity in hospitals as the mentally ill were back in the 1960's when the study was done? Don't forget the straight-jacket and restraints and Electroconvulsive therapy and the singing of They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!  For that matter Schizophrenia doesn't require hospitalization in all or even most cases.  It's like saying a study has found a connection between Diabetes and Schizophrenia and treatment with institutionalization should be part of treatment with diet and medication.  One study is not proof and medical research done during the 1960's is ancient but PEACE is still in style.  This lousy t-shirt (talk) 00:07, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * TLT-S, you are edit warring on the article talk page. If you do it again then you run the risk of being blocked for edit warring. Three people have independently reverted you so you probably aren't editing with WP:CONSENSUS. I strongly urge you not to revert again. Basket of Puppies  00:14, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Since I HAVEN'T EDITED THE ARTICLE TALK PAGE AGAIN since you put that notice on my talk page and am cooperative with policies here please DON'T put another one.  This lousy t-shirt (talk) 00:26, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * This all should be no big deal. Come on everyone. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 00:32, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Hopefully TLS-T understands that edit warring anywhere is unacceptable. Let's move on, shall we? Basket of Puppies  02:46, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh I'm very sure TLS-T understands the policies. Apparently BOPS doesn't understand WIKIHOUNDING anywhere is unacceptable and hasn't "moved on" from MY user talk page.  BOPS, "EVERYONE" WILL HAVE AN EASIER TIME MOVING ON IF YOU FOLLOW YOUR OWN ADVICE.  This lousy t-shirt (talk) 03:43, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * No reply is necessary. Have a good night. :) Basket of Puppies  03:56, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Forgive me for butting into something that is plainly not my concern, but I don't want you to feel discouraged as a result of this situation. I also want you to have access to the guideline they were trying to enforce:  WP:TALK.  You had a legitimate concern about original research, and perhaps didn't know that talk pages aren't held to the same editorial standards as articles.  Wikipedia has a strong ethos of not editing others comments, whether or not their concerns seem invalid.  An editor is free to suggest that something be considered in the article, and others are free not to follow it, citing guidelines as necessary, but the comments must stay (if nothing else, they help inform future users of existing consensus).  As the link says, there ARE limited circumstances where editing/removing comments can be done, but they should be pursued with care (I notice original research isn't on the prohibited list)
 * Anyhow, it wasn't a WP:3RR situation, and as Doc James said it really isn't such a big deal. I doubt they have a personal vendetta against you, but perhaps the other users were quick to jump the gun on specifics - you were not reverted three times, only two, and your removal was not done as a minor edit, the minor was the edit before that.  Neither side was using edit summaries until the second and final revert, so without edit summaries and without links to the guideline in question it is easy for anybody to be completely unaware of both your concern about original research and their concern about the talk page guidelines.  A warning on your talk page is only a warning - you are free to respond to it, but they are free to defend it as well.  (In other words, I don't believe BoP was trying to warn you twice).  I think that situation is resolved, so feel free to leave it at that - happy editing, and I hope you continue feeling welcomed to collaborate here.  Thank you,

Stopping by to say your messages were what was needed when and where needed. When I found them here it made all the difference. A 24 hour wikibreak was needed for rest which had been neglected lately and for the stabilization of my blood sugar level which had dropped too low. Feeling better physically, emotionally and most importantly with faith in the wikicommunity restored. Most likely to resume editing here tomorrow after 24 more.

MattDiClemente
Hi, I'm not sure how to get in contact with you. Please stop threatening me with blocking. I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm contributing to an article that has a big sign above it asking for help. You are not in charge of that article. I'm sorry. MattDiClemente (talk) 22:52, 28 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I've moved your comment in order to respond because I want to be fair to you. Please let me state that I wouldn't "threaten" ANY Wikipedian in any manner and this includes threats of blocking.  I'm not an Admin here and only Admins have the ability to block a user.  Also this isn't meant to discourage you from contributing to the Christmas worldwide article at all, it's only to remind you of the policies so that you won't be blocked!  As for the article itself no I don't "own" it (WP:OWN) but this means neither do you and neither does anyone else for that matter.  I feel that you write well and having researched the information you added have found that it is verifiable without adding the links to the blogs.  So I guess what I'm trying to say is that you don't NEED to add the links.  The information about the bonfires and Saint Lucy could be Wikilinked and inter-wikilinked instead.  For the sake of the article let's ALL OF US consider ways to reach WP:CONSENSUS and work on the article TOGETHER, constructively, in WP:PEACE.  This lousy T-shirt (talk) 23:34, 28 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Note: As you may not know, not long ago I was told that it did not reflect well on me to mistakenly refer to an external link as a reliable source and indeed the user had rightly removed it from four different articles.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Stalking. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular, the three-revert rule states that: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording, and content that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:19, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
 * 2) Editors violating the rule will usually be blocked for 24 hours for a first incident.
 * 3) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
 * Sorry to drop this on you, but the user's edits do not meet the definition of vandalism and you have been warring with them. I have warned them about copyright violations and edit warring as well. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:22, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Fine, it's not worth being blocked, I haven't edited the article again and obviously respect that. But because of this, someone's newly created single purpose account came to my talk page and slapped a level 3 warning for the sole intention of upsetting me even though I HAVE NOT EVEN EDITED ANY ARTICLES TODAY. >:(  This lousy T-shirt (talk) 22:36, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * You seem like you are getting really upset about Wikipedia stuff and are not reacting well to it. If it is upsetting you that much I would suggest you take a break. Edit like the one you were warned for below can lead to a block. And, as if that weren't enough, you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you created, and you made an apparent "revenge tagging," warning them for vandalism when no vandalism was evident. I'm not trying to upset you further, just advising you that you are letting your emotions get the better of you a lot and it could lead to problems for you.

hi,

I cannot work out what is wrong with the Advamode wiki article. It is purely factual information about a public company, yet for some reason this guy Freshacconi keeps flagging it for speedy deletion, then telling me I am removing the speedy deletion notices, which I am not.

There is nothing wrong with the page, I have reviewed the guidelines twice and ensured that the article is fine.

Why am I still being pursued by Freshacconi? Furthermore, why am I unable to contact this person to resolve their concerns?

 * Hi! I don't know how to get in touch with that person, other than on their talk page.  You could try rewriting the article with a less promotional tone, making it less likely to be deleted as advertising/spam.  Good luck and cheers!  —This lousy T-shirt (talk) 18:51, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, didn't realize I was removing 'speedy deletion notices' as I'm very new to creating pages. I have read the guidelines and article about creating my first article.

I do realize I published the 'Beer Canada' page before it was completed or properly reviewed. I'm not done with the page's text and am modelling it after the Beer Institute's Wiki page. Brittanymoorcroft (talk) 20:54, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Two things. Firstly, it messed up the disambiguation page tag at the head of the article.  Secondly, you put up a tag that the article was about an abstract, non-specific place and then changed abstract to real example and non-specific to North Korea.  — This lousy T-shirt  —  (talk) 15:14, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Featured article Nominated by

A Song for Simeon, is a 37-line poem written in 1928 by American-English poet T. S. Eliot (1888–1965). It is one of five poems that Eliot contributed to the Ariel poems series of 38 pamphlets by several authors published by Faber and Gwyer. "A Song for Simeon" was the sixteenth in the series and included an illustration by avant garde artist Edward McKnight Kauffer. The poem's narrative echoes the text of the Nunc dimittis, a liturgical prayer for Compline from the Gospel passage. Eliot introduces literary allusions to earlier writers Lancelot Andrewes, Dante Alighieri and St. John of the Cross. Critics have debated whether Eliot's depiction of Simeon is a negative portrayal of a Jewish figure and evidence of anti-Semitism on Eliot's part. (more...)

It is faith (lived in the incognito) which triggers the issues for the others, which causes everything seemingly established to be placed in doubt, which drives a wedge into the world of false assurances." ~ Jacques Ellul French philosopher, sociologist, and professor who was a noted Christian anarchist. - - WikiProject Christianity Ichthus is published by WikiProject Christianity <span style="">© Copyleft 2020 Questions &bull; Discussions &bull; Newsroom &bull; Unsubscribe Sent by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:27, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
