Harry Magdoff
Nobs01 again! I'm going to post a rewrite. 172 | Talk 10:56, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, but I doubt that the work's done. I'm expecting a fight with Nobs01, who has been contaminating many other articles with his defamatory personal conspiracy theories. This user needs to be watched very closely. 172 | Talk 13:01, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

BTW, I might need some help on Communism with Ultramarine. Also, let me know about other articles ready for quick rewrites like Harry Magdoff. 172 | Talk 14:45, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Oh no! I didn't know that! 172 | Talk 19:13, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

The Guardian Un limited, as it were (beforehand too anyway). El_C 19:31, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

I've seen it. Worse, Nobs01 has a sidekick now, TJive... John Kenney has already worked to keep their conspiracy theories out of the FDR article. We might want to get his help in dealing with this whole "category." SlimVirgin might also be very helpful. I'm not aware of an editor who deals with "original researchers" more effectively than Sarah. 172 | Talk 17:52, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Ultramarine
We need some relief from this user. If you have time, please take a look at the 3RR violation that has yet to be enforced. Thanks. 172 | Talk 15:35, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Sockpuppets
I am not using any sockpuppet accounts and would really appreciate it if you and your fellow comrades stop insinuating that I am. J. Parker Stone 11:37, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

When I left the last message, I did not see the evidence of sockpuppet usage. Perhaps I spoke too soon. 172 | Talk 02:20, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * i only use Trey Stone and 64.7.89.54 when I'm accidentally logged off. i happened to see said anon's edits because they were on my watchlist. J. Parker Stone 02:25, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Assorted Stuff
Do you know what happened to the category "Peruvian Terrorists?" I noticed that it dissapeared, but don't know why. I added Belunde, Garcia, and Fujimori to the list, as I felt they fit the definition, and I noticed that it suddenly went away. Perhaps rather than get in a fight about it, everyone would rather just see the category deleted.

Also, do you know anything about Barry Seal? His article is only a stub, and you are the kind of guy who would know a lot about him. Descendall 01:47, 23 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Never mind, I just saw that Peruvian Terrorists was removed, CfD. Missed the debate on that one. Descendall 06:01, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Email
Hey, thanks for the polite response in the email. On a side note, I'd really appreciate it if you editted back Pol Pot, as the current version is simply inaccurate in terms of dates. If you object to the other edits that I originally made in that section I can discuss it on the talk page -- same with the other articles we were RVing on before I got injunctioned. J. Parker Stone 03:27, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2005 July 15#Category:Peruvian terrorists. It wasn't that hard to find. -- Viajero | Talk 09:19, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

OK. Understood. Question: How do you find a category that was deleted?--AAAAA 19:11, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Porgy & Bess FAC
Hey Viajero. Alexs letterbox apparently submitted Porgy and Bess at WP:FAC a week ago, so it's now at that crucial stage. Any input you have would be appreciated at Featured article candidates/Porgy and Bess/archive1. Cheers.--BaronLarf 01:59, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Pol Pot
done. the big thing that got me on that article was my inability to edit the date inaccuracies. J. Parker Stone 20:29, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Daniel Ortega
Thanks for the note. I've been noticing POV creep on both the Ortega article and the Sandinista article but haven't had time to get into them. The POV in the Sandinista article consists mostly of Trey Stone sprinkling in repetitious and somewhat inaccurate references to Marxist and Cuban influences. It's true that the Sandinistas were influenced by both Marx and Cuba, but he makes it sound like they started out without any Marxist ideas and those got snuck in later. I think he also exaggerates the Cuban influence and makes it sound like Nicaragua was simply a client state of Cuba. There is also some language about Sandinista human rights abuses that is poorly-sources and excessive, and Trey chopped out some perfectly accurate statements about U.S. interference in Nicaragua elections since 1990, replacing it with the unsourced and untrue claim that the U.S. has not exerted any influence at all.

With regard to Daniel Ortega, I think there is a place for some of the assertions that have been added lately. Lots of people (including many Sandinistas) are unhappy with Ortega's heavy-handed control of the FSLN, and there has been quite a bit of understandable speculation (although there is no proof) that he had a hand in the murder of Carlos Guadamuz (whose name is misspelled as Guadamus in the recent edit). However, it is over the top and POV pushing to simply label Ortega a "dictator." He led a revolutionary movement that overthrew a dictator and is the first example in a very long time of a revolutionary who came to power through force of arms but left voluntarily when he lost an election. He's not a saint, but the Sandinista-bashers shouldn't be allowed to portray him and the FSLN as devils either.

I have a friend who lived in Nicaragua for the better part of a decade who might be interested in doing some editing on those articles. I'll give her a call and see if I can get her hooked on Wikipedia. ;-) --Sheldon Rampton 11:03, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Magdoff
Viajero: Can you cite point by point which sources you are challenging? Thank you.nobs 17:38, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Be advised: a vote to Merge was the result --> Votes for deletion/Conspiracy allegations about Harry Magdoff; in good faith, there was a compromise understanding to limit its contents to the essential paragraph on the Harry Magdoff article. nobs 22:02, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

BTW, you might also want to take a look at this VfD. 172 | Talk 19:02, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Personal attacks
Why is it that the best defense which can be culled by you in support of massive deletions of material is to repeatedly state that I and others are engaging in such acts as "McCarthyite smears"? It is not productive and it establishes nothing but the fact that as an administrator you do not feel you need to adhere to certain Wikipedia rules, like on personal attacks. And yet, my "McCarthyite smear" represents the most extensive and constructive effort to verify the material put forward that has been made so far....--TJive 20:13, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

Hello again! Would you be interested in keeping on eye on this article? We can expect a lot of big news coming out of the Summit in the next few days. 172 | Talk 00:13, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the links by email. I was looking forward to making the article on the summit as comprehensive as it should, but not the topic seems to be totally overshadowed by the events in Peru and France. 172 | Talk 07:54, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Interesting times...
Nice to see your name crop up on my watchlist; it's been a while. Yes, I think we can look fwd to a flurry of editing activity on various Peru-related articles over the coming months. Anyone who reads that Miami Herald article and Googles for "la cantuta massacre" or "barrios altos massacre" gets pointed here. (Btw, the herald is registration only, and I've never bothered, but I caught the same story (or at least a similar one) on some similar site: byline 'Tyler Bridges'?)

Important AfD
Hi. If you have time please take a look at Articles for deletion/List of modern day dictators. I'm a bit worried that the main protagonist for the keep side is threatening to reverse the long-established consensus against creating historical categorization schemes on Wikipedia based on editors' original research. If you are interested, arguments against generating such a list have been stated and restated over the course of several years at Talk:List of dictators. Thanks. 172 20:55, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia Anti-war project, push to get a featured article b4 Xmass
February 15, 2003 anti-war protest, an article which is part of the WikiProject Anti-war of which you are listed as a member, has been recently rated A-class by the Version 1.0 Editorial team (see here) This means that it is considered to be of good quality. The Anti-war project has yet to achieve a featured article but with a little pushing I feel we could get this article up to FA standards. To this end I have put the article up for peer review, if you could help make this a brilliant article that would be much appreciated. Please give your comments at Peer review/February 15, 2003 anti-war protest/archive2 or on the article's talk page. Fingers crossed for a FA before Xmass.--JK the unwise 13:03, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Lilian Cristina Aya Ramirez
Do you know anything about Lilian Cristina Aya Ramirez? The entry claims that she is a Venezuelan politician close to Hugo Chavez who was part of the Venezuelan branch of the Shining Path. It seems to me quite possible that this is just some absurd claim by a Venezuelan right-winger who wants to paint Chavez up as a Senderista, which he obviously isn't. But I've never heard of Lilian Cristina Aya Ramirez, nor have I ever heard of the group that the page claims is the Shining Path branch. --Descendall 23:04, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to know if you could go over the Carmen page. I've added a lot of info, but from the FAC request, I've found my writing style to be lacking brilliance. I think as an experienced Wikipedian, you might be able to help me. --Alexs letterbox 10:23, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Magdoff
I just learned that Harry Magdoff passed away, I was going to edit his page here (considering the nonsense about him before User:Nobs01 finally got banned for a year) when I saw you had changed it already.

I also looked at your last 50 edits to see how active you were and saw #50 was in September. I guess you've become disillusioned with Wikipedia, something that happened a while ago for me. I am currently creating a corpus of articles with a GFDL or similar license on wikis like Red Wiki, Anarchopedia, Dkosopedia, Demopedia, Infoshop's OpenWiki and Sourcewatch. Thus I have none of the headaches associated with Wikipedia, although none of these have the momentum of Wikipedia. Ruy Lopez 01:15, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Rv War "List of political parties in Peru"
User:Soman has started a revert war in the List of political parties in Peru article. He made a bunch of stub articles (rarely more that one sentence and none with sources) for a bunch of, for the most part, small relatively unknown political parties and put them on the thread. User:Messhermit reverted it and asked to talk it out in the talk page and then the war began. You can see it all in the page history. I ask that some action be taken.-Jersey Devil 05:13, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I did not initiate a revert war. Messhermit did. A study of the history of that page will clarify that. He also made a proposal on the talk page which, IMHO, has no grounds in terms of wikipedia policy (merging articles relating to separate political entities into a single article). The main source of the articles, which of course needs to be added in the respective articles, is from a document from ONPE, . I also object to the statement that most of the parties would have been small or unknown. The list includes many parties that played an important role in a certain political context, but folded long ago. Also, there are many short-lived, but not necessarily unimportant, alliances between political parties included. --Soman 12:17, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

User talk page deletion
Why was User talk:Davenbelle deleted? It is my understanding that we don't delete user talk pages, because they represent community contributions, may contain warnings, and do not belong to the user. Thanks, -Will Beback 00:30, 20 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply. I asked because another editor, user:Paroxysm, cited your action to justify the deletion of his own former talk page, user talk:24ip, which contained various old warnings, etc. After posting this note I found that User page is surprisingly permissive. I'd heard various admins and others make comments indicating it wasn't permitted, and left a note on Wikipedia talk:User page asking for clarification, but hadn't received a response. You didn't do anything wrong, apparently, nor did user:24ip, but I think that the guideline should be clearer. Cheers, -Will Beback 07:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Red Sand
I am suspicious of all the recent material from the "KGB archives." All intelligence agencies boast about their exploits--and often it is mostly hyperbole and rumor. Don't have the book, but some of the edits seem to state as fact what should be identified as unverified claims from a partisan source.--Cberlet 14:39, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Sandinista article
I realize you don't have much time at the moment, but I would like to draw your attention to an edit yesterday by TDC to the Sandinista article. Given earlier evidence of his shabby "scholarship", notably with the Neruda article, these edits need to be rigorously examined. Could you lend a hand? Viajero | Talk 09:47, 16 March 2006 (UTC)


 * "After a Cuban reorganization of the FSLN structure and tactics?" What utter crap. This looks like TDC is again using a tactic he has used before: writing a version that even he knows is not neutral, by way of staking out a negotiating position. Which, in my view, is a waste of everybody's time, including his.


 * It will probably be Sunday before I get a chance to take a real look at this. And, I should add, it's not a topic where I can really claim to be an expert, though I certainly know quite a bit. -- Jmabel | Talk 21:09, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * No problem. To be honest, I never really saw myself as sticking up for you.  Sticking up for common sense, I suppose.  Unfortunately, Shining Path and Alberto Fujimori seem to be in total chaos right now.  AAAAA seems to be convinced that Soman and I are actually Shining Path cadre or something, even to the point of inserting information about "The Sweden Cell" into the SL article (I think Soman is Swedish).  Perhaps it's a good thing; the day that a bunch of ultra-violent fanatical Maoists like the Shining Path can be accused of sitting around editing Wikipedia will be the day that Peru will be able to breathe easy.  --Descendall 19:50, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Robert Parry
I have added a "" template to the article Robert Parry, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Frank Jasper (Vision Quest) Article Scheduled For Deletion
Hi there, You have shown through your Wikipedia contributions that you're a fan of Matthew Modine and quite possibly the 1980s movie "Vision Quest". I created an article on actor Frank Jasper who played the villian, Brian Shute, in the movie. I've also included information about what Dr. Jasper is doing now. Many people have wondered through Wikipedia and Imdb whatever happened to him, and I've tried to put this information out there for everyone. Unfortunately, some people think the article should be deleted for whatever reason. If you loved the movie as much as I did, please go to this link and voice your support before the article is deleted. Thanks a lot. I would appreciate your support very much.

Eastman School of Music
Hi, I was wondering (and I hope I'm not mistaken that it is you who wrote the article on the Eastman School of Music) where you found the US news report which had the rankings of music schools in the US and whether it is still available for viewing. I would be very interested in taking a look at it and would greatly appreciate any help you could give me in finding it. Thank you in advance, Sorouthorn 03:40, 5 May 2007 (UTC) Markiyan

How the Current events page works
Hi Viajero,

I came across How the Current events page works for the first time and was very impressed with the ideas there, and I see that you were the person who first inserted that content. Where did you learn that stuff? It's really interesting. Is this the sort of thing one learns in journalism school? If so, I feel like I would probably like to become a journalist :)

thanks for teaching.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Viajero! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 8 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

Fair use rationale for File:Christa Ludwig.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Christa Ludwig.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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:New Yorker cover.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:New Yorker cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:


 * I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
 * I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.

Biased editing of Technological Utopianism by Loremaster.
Biased editing of Technological Utopianism by Loremaster.

Due to your past contribution to Technological utopianism, you may currently want to help editing the Technological utopianism article because currently only one editor is contributing to the article. The Singularitarianism Article could also benefit from your help.

I feel Loremaster is editing Singularitarianism and Technological utopianism in a biased manner in accordance with his Save The Earth propaganda. Loremasters's ideology seems to verge towards Neo-Luddism. Here are the damming facts Loremaster has stated in discussion:


 * Loremaster says he is:


 * Loremaster wants people to:


 * Loremaster sees his editing as a 'fight' and he states:

81.151.135.248 (talk) 11:53, 18 December 2010 (UTC)JB

--Loremaster (talk) 00:37, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * LOL
 * 1) Despite the fact that I openly admit to being a technorealist who is critical of techno-utopianism in all its forms, I have let never this point of view influence any of my edits or reverts of the Technological utopianism or Singularitarianism articles. On the contrary, I am the person most responsible for expanding the former article with content some would argue is “pro-techno-utopian” (i.e. passages from James Hughes' book Citizen Cyborg).
 * 2) I find it disgusting that 81.151.135.248 would take comments I made out of context to falsely make it seem I see my editing of any article as part of my fight for the environment.
 * 3) In light of this outrageous act of bad faith, I will do everything in my power to get this jerk banned from Wikipedia.

Non-free rationale for File:Moncada barracks.jpg

Non-free use of File:Rat Pack.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Rat Pack.jpg. However, there is a concern that the use of the image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. Details of this problem, and which specific criteria that the image may not meet, can be obtained by going to the image description page. If you feel that this image does meet those criteria, please place a note on the image description or talk page explaining why. Do not remove the di-fails NFCC tag itself.

An administrator will review this file within a few days, and having considered the opinions placed on the image page, may delete it in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion or remove the tag entirely.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins
Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins) .MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
