Vandalism
You really need to review what is considered vandalism before you start throwing the word around indiscriminately. Some of us work very diligently to remove vandalism; being accused of it is offensive. 76.102.12.35 (talk) 00:30, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

When an unregistered editor, using an IP only, removes referenced material with the comment sarcasm doesn't really work in an encyclopedia) it was an easy assumption to make. It might be argued that calling a referenced, valid and true statement as sarcastic is offensive. However, I am sure that that was not the case. I note that you make a lot of edits very quickly across a range of subjects, this speed maybe what produced your error. Anyway, thank you for your comments Tuckerj1976 (talk) 00:38, 14 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see, it's more anti-IP bias. I could easily claim that edits by a brand-new account are automatically suspect as well, but I won't go that route. 76.102.12.35 (talk) 00:40, 14 February 2010 (UTC)


 * We all need to start somewhere 76.102.12.35. But no offense taken. Good editing and your contributions are welcome. Tuckerj1976 (talk) 00:43, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Here is a page which pertains to an investigation of some of the editors over at TM  Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 17:13, 15 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Very worrying. One wonders if this will have the same impact with the media that similar situations have in the past? Tuckerj1976 (talk) 17:52, 15 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Why is this a concern to Tucker? --BwB (talk) 17:15, 15 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Bigweeboy: Perhaps because I have edited the TM page and that this is extremely worrying about the impartiality of both your organization and your various alias? In truth, this should be of concern to EVERYONE who takes WIKI seriously. I am flattered by the way that you and your apparent aliases watch my talk-page Tuckerj1976 (talk) 17:52, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Tuckerj1976, I would like to thank you for your participation on the TM page. You may not have realized when you started how tendentious it is; I commiserate with you on your resulting fatigue. We are hoping that arbitration will improve the situation. Taking a WP:Wikibreak is recommended when you feel this way. You are welcome back anytime. David Spector 20:49, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Clerk Notice Please refactor your evidence so that it is less that 1000 words in length. This requirement is stated twice on the evidence page. Seddon talk|WikimediaUK 15:48, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Second Clerk Notice I note that you still haven't done this. I will have to do it for you if you are unable or unwilling to do this. Dougweller (talk) 10:53, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Third Clerk Notice I will start redacting your evidence page today if you haven't. You are allowed to set up a usersubpage and move the overflow to that, with a link in your evidence. Dougweller (talk) 05:14, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. --SineBot (talk) 02:12, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Personalized Signiture
I know that here seems to be a few people that read my talkpage so with that in mind: Is there a a good page/site with easy to understand instructions on how to personalize your signature? I can't seem to get it to link-back to here. Thanks Tuckerj1976 (talk) 16:08, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * A common problem is forgetting to check the "Sign my name exactly as shown" box, which is needed if you have HTML code in your signature. The guideline on signatures is Signatures.   Will Beback    talk    19:43, 25 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you for that Will, but I have ticked that box yet still I am having difficulties. It must be my use of HTML. I was hoping there was a guide somewhere on the net, a sort of WIKI signatures for dummies? Tuckerj1976 (talk) 20:49, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

With it unchecked, and without code I seem to get Captin Jack (talk) 20:51, 25 February 2010 (UTC)


 * If you don't mind Will, I will steal your code (changing the colors) and have a little play around with it

Fair use rationale for File:Bilbao Symphony Orchestra.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Bilbao Symphony Orchestra.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  F ASTILYsock (T ALK ) 23:47, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but this makes no sense. The image is released by the owners for promotional use (I have specified this in the upload). Why is this not enough to allow it to be used? Really, this is simply making it more hassle than it is worth to create an article within WIKI. Sorry If I sound a littlee "agitated"  Tucker talk 00:00, 9 March 2010 (UTC)


 * The same response is applicable to all of the other images  Tucker talk 00:03, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Tucker. I hate to tell you this, but it seems like the images fail WP:NFCC.  The orchestra is still in existence and the conductor is still alive;  free photographs of both could be taken, hence the images' failure of WP:NFCC.  At any rate, I have tagged the files as such, and they will be deleted in 7 days.  However, if the organization which permitted you to use these photos would like to release the them under a free license, then please follow the instructions outlined at WP:DCM and WP:PERMISSION.  Please do not let the deletion of these images discourage you from editing; your contributions are appreciated nonetheless.  It's just that these files are not exactly suitable for use on Wikipedia.  If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know. Regards,  F ASTILYsock (T ALK ) 04:59, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

What are the odds?

 * Let's see. There are roughly 3.25 million articles. I've edited 325 unique articles, so a 1/10,000 chance of someone randomly looking at an article I've edited. You've edited 35 unique articles, so that reduces the odds to around 1/300. Not such long odds after all.  Fladrif (talk) 23:45, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Arbitration/Requests/Case/Transcendental Meditation movement/Evidence
As you've already received a warning about your evidence being too long, I've gone ahead and refactored your evidence as it was 500 words over the word count. If you readd the content or once again exceed the limit your whole section will be removed and you'll be banned from posting any evidence.

Apology
Hi Tucker. Please accept my apologies for this. Another user posted it to my talk and I clearly misread the diff. Sorry again,  Ryan Postlethwaite See the mess I've created or let's have banter 10:44, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Tucker, I also misread the diff and left an apology to both you and Ryan on Ryan's User page a few days ago. I was not aware that he had contacted you about this. Now that I see that I would like to apologize to you directly for my misreading of the diff. Thanks.-- — Kbob • Talk  • 19:31, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Unfortunately, minor alterations do not alleviate copyright concerns - the text must be completely rewritten so that it is original. I've blanked the article until the situation is resolved; you can rewrite the article here and it will be moved over the current title. Please don't remove the tag from the article, an admin will assess the situation again in a week or so. Regards, – Toon 15:46, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Tucker, regarding your question I can't review the material without seeing the sources. I suggest you add footnotes as you go.   Will Beback    talk    08:55, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * There are short biographies in Grove Music Online/ The New Grove Dictionary of Opera and The Oxford Dictionary of Music.   Will Beback    talk    09:40, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi. The replacement text looks good to me, you've done a great job of rewriting the article. If you let me know when you're done, I'll ask an admin who normally deals with articles such as this to evaluate early (she has a better eye for close paraphrasing etc. than I do). – Toon 14:36, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I've asked Moonriddengirl to evaluate it here. – Toon 18:46, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Moonriddengirl concurs that the article is fine and I've deleted the old article and replaced it with this version. It is at Linda Esther Gray. Nice work, by the way. – Toon 19:13, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I was off making dinner. The barnstar is very much appreciated - "thankless" is certainly an apt description. "Endless" would be another. Mind you today my work here is mostly procrastination for off-wiki work and actually, I'm not getting much done in either reality :D. I'll go check out your text now. – Toon 20:26, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
