My Warning
What are you talking about? Doing that just sounds stupid and lame. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shlarble (talk • contribs) 01:16, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

That's what happened as well. I'll make sure to log off in the future. If it happens again, wait a while after it happens and just tell me what happened. I don't want to come back to find out my account has been banned.Shlarble (talk) 02:37, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

stop editing the txst page. Txst is NOT a flagship university. Also, it does not have to be explicitly explained what acronyms the schools does not go by. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.111.128.169 (talk) 03:09, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Texas State University-San Marcos is the flagship school of the Texas State University System. Providing a source statement that Texas State explicitly discourages the use of the acronym "TSU" is not inappropriate.  Judging by how long that information has remained in the article it seems many people agree with those edits.  If you have concerns, it would be best addressed on the article's talk page.  --TreyGeek (talk) 03:54, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Dude, go to tsus.edu and show me where it says TxSt is the flagship. IT DOESN'T. BECAUSE TXST IS NOT.

And just because something has been there for a long time, that mean's it become "ok" to have there? Is that really how Wikipedia works? Shouldn't be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.111.128.169 (talk) 18:09, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * If something stays in an article for a long time, it is assumed to be accurate until a verifiable source refutes the information or a valid argument is presented and people agree with that.
 * As for Texas State being the flagship... in the infobox, the mention that it is the flagship school cites a reference. That reference states that Texas State University-San Marcos is the "system's flagship" of the Texas State University System.  I did not add that reference to the article, someone else did.  Until a third-party, verifiable source is found to prove otherwise, it should stay.
 * Again, you concerns regarding this matter are best served on the article's talk page so that all who are potentially interested can offer their feedback. --TreyGeek (talk) 18:33, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Treygeek, there is currently a debate occurring on the Texas State discussion page regarding this very topic. Would you care to weigh in as you have been one of the keep figures in the growth of the Texas State article? Thanks. TxStateFAN (talk) 23:15, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Wes Shivers
Would you put the Wes Shivers article I created up for deletion? Justastud15 (talk) 02:47, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It is currently up for deletion via WP:PROD. We will have to wait for an admin to deal with that.  Might I suggest in the future, you create articles on truly notable fighters, and not everyone who is on The Ultimate Fighter.  --TreyGeek (talk) 02:50, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Usually, the fighters get chances in the UFC so I make the articles now but this season doesn't look to have the same fate. Justastud15 (talk) 15:29, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep in mind that articles should be created for fighters who are notable now. It should never be based upon future notability.  It causes more work as you see.  --TreyGeek (talk) 00:03, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Advice + Suggestions via Wikipedia community
I do take both advice and suggestions of the wikipeida community, however major edits, are never on a articles talk page. mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool (talk) 14:54, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Minor edits
If you're judgement is correct, then edits of talk pages come under the category of edits that is other truly minor edits as it is not formatting nor correction of spelling. mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool (talk) 10:00, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I am not a threat to wikipedia
I would like to state that I am not a threat to wikipeida, and also I do not intend to damage or vandalize wikipeida in any-way, shape or form. However in defence of my recent edits, wikipeida talk pages to not have guidelines only wikipeida articles. I fail to make a statement in occurrence to marking talk page edits as minor. mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool (talk) 15:52, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Brandon Sene
Hi, I've nominated the article Brandon Sene for deletion. I would like a little help from you since I look to you for all my help. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Brandon_Sene Justastud15 (talk) 19:31, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Amir
I was answering the guys question? That is what Amir walked in to. Should I have posted it on his user page ? TIA (pinchet (talk) 02:15, 29 October 2009 (UTC))
 * You posted a link to YouTube of a Vanessa Mae Destiny music video. I fail to see how that addresses the thread or how to improve the Amir Sadollah article.  --TreyGeek (talk) 02:18, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Look at what the guy asked above is all I'm saying. Should I have responded with something like that on his user page? (pinchet (talk) 02:21, 29 October 2009 (UTC))
 * Ok, I see what you are referring to now. I forgot the thread on his fight record had an extra question in it.  As it is, posting raw YouTube URLs is not the best practice, particularly without some kind of explanation.  It would probably have been better to simply say, "Amir's entrance music was xxx."  --TreyGeek (talk) 02:29, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

RE: Future matches in record history
Sherdog reported the match as "signed and delivered," I think that should merit adding to the table. Jackson beet (talk) 03:10, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * That doesn't guarantee the match will happen. There could be any number of reasons the match will be canceled including the day of the event.  Phillipe Nover has shown that things can change at the last minute.  --TreyGeek (talk) 03:20, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Q
How do you warn an IP?

I see where a IP should have been flagged with a but how or do I place it? he/she/it posted the same add on 4 pages. I have them reverted but still. . . . David.snipes (talk) 14:14, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * IP users have talk pages just like registered users. For example, for the IP you were reverting earlier, the talk page is User talk:85.179.140.90.  You then place the warning template on their talk page just as any other talk page.  If you have WP:Twinkle installed, it will help you with placing warnings on pages after reverts.  --TreyGeek (talk) 23:37, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Photo problem?
What is wrong with the photo that I just added? Justastud15 (talk) 02:36, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Responded on user's talk page. --TreyGeek (talk) 02:40, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually I got it from his facebook. I'm confused here though, does a photo that is on a social networking site that the person took themselves have a copyright problem? I thought it would only be a problem if it was a photo that was from a photoshoot, something from like a website like UFC.com or if a professional photographer took it. I guess you learn something new everyday. Justastud15 (talk) 03:07, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Responded on user's talk page (again). --TreyGeek (talk) 03:31, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Hackers
Re your comment on my recent edit, I followed the guidelines provided in the help for "Minor Edits." Quoting: "A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute." This guidance provided the motivation for my annotation of the edit as minor. Captivus (talk) 17:16, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Responded on user's talk page to keep conversation in the same place. --TreyGeek (talk) 17:34, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Three revert
Hi, just noticed your three revert warning to that IP. I believe that this is the IP of Mollica93, so not sure if you want to give the same to that user, but that is what I believe to be the truth. Paralympiakos (talk) 00:52, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Trey, this user continually reverts the tournament bracket from the style used in every season except season 6 to said version in s6. The problem is the clutter with the episode names in the bracket. Now, hours ago, I added the bracket and for no reason, Mollica completely changed it to his/her own version, without explanation. I reverted it and took it to that users talk page (multiple times).

Check if you like because I originally came to a compromise with the user, but they've restarted edit warring. You don't have to look at the TUF page, but look at my talk page and Mollica's page because that user had no reason/right to change the bracket in the first place. Paralympiakos (talk) 00:59, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * (Edit Conflict)I did notice that the IP has made edits to Mollica93's user page. I too would make the same assumption. As you probably see by now, I'm covering all the bases by warning all parties involved in the edit war. --TreyGeek (talk) 01:03, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Quite honestly it doesn't matter what your reasons are for the edit warring. WP:3RR clearly says you should not revert a page more than three times in 24 hours except in obvious cases of vandalism.  I doubt a conflict over the format of the tournament bracket can be seen as vandalism.  Take it to the article's talk page or if it is a broader issue the MMA WikiProject.  I was just offering a friendly word of caution to you.  --TreyGeek (talk) 01:03, 30 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Like I said, I have taken it to the user's talk page, several times. There's nothing more I can do with Mollica to prevent them from 3RRing. Paralympiakos (talk) 01:06, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

TUF Titles
Not being from Australia, I wouldn't know. I put those names on as Demise Me was on the Spike TV guide and the ep 12, I got from the talk, knowing that you are two aren't vandals and therefore was a legitimate name. Paralympiakos (talk) 00:27, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
