Hello and welcome to my Talk page!

4. I reserve the right to revert any edits to this page that I feel to be truly messed up.

Admin incident board reply

I've replied to your comment on WP:ANI. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 19:48, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. No need to inform me here. SHEFFIELDSTEEL^TALK 20:17, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Wyvern - back to his old ways right after the block

See [1]. Doing this right after a block is not good. Dougweller (talk) 05:30, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Ah, not quite a SPA now, he's widened his interest, see this diff [2]l, changing Stormfront's description as a white nationalist website to describe it as a 'white rights advocacy' site and deleting other bits he didn't like. Nice. Dougweller (talk) 05:34, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

That's almost blockworthy in itself, but my personal feeling is to just leave a warning for now. At least there's a chance that they will read and learn about our policies. As for the content issue, I'll drop a line to the other editors and make sure they haven't been driven away. SHEFFIELDSTEEL^TALK 15:50, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I am quite concerned that he will drive other editors away with his "my way or the highway" attitude. Dougweller (talk) 16:03, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Hey. Could either of you stop by the article and lend a hand? Wyvren is making edits all over the place, and I'm at my wit's end as to what to do. His last edit added a reference to an NYTimes article, but the ref doesn't support the text. And this is the third time he's tried to find a reference. I could always post on ANI again if you think it's necessary. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 00:40, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Actually, s/he just made this edit just undid all sorts of text, but was marked as minor and with an edit summary that doesn't match. I'm not going to violate 3RR here, but this is getting ridiculous.. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 00:41, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

I've just opened another thread at ANI about this. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 00:49, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

I don't think it is just a coincidence that last week this Ebay user began selling the exact crest badge Wyvren started adding into the article last week [3]. "master_baphomet" is the Stormfront username of Steven L. Akins.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 08:03, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Admin 2over0 has blocked Wyvren a second time. Hopefully the message gets across this time. SHEFFIELDSTEEL^TALK 19:21, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

User:David K Brown and MuseumPlanet links

Some low level editors have accused me of spaming because I posted links to narrated slide tours on MuseumPlanet.com. One accused me of being the owner of the that site becasue we have the same name. Not true Not true. I thought adding these slide tours would enhance wikipedia because of he pictures and often extensive editorial. Where did I go wrong. Some of the editors frankly remind me of angry school crossing guards.

You'll find threads concerning this editor's probable-COI spam-linking here, here, here, here and here. Beyond My Ken (college sophomore, junior high school teacher, arrogant school crossing guard and low-level editor, per DKB) (talk) 22:15, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

In the course of these various conversations, four editors (myself included) have told David K Brown that he should stop posting the links. Along the way he's been pointed to WP:COI, WP:EL, WP:SPAM and WP:NPA. He has indeed stopped, but he's continued to kvetch about it, and shows no particular willingness to understand the policies that have been explained to him. Personally, I have great difficulty believing that "David Brown" creates the MeseumPlanet website and then "David K Brown" (a "travel writer") posts multiple links to the site on Wikipedia is just a coincidence, but others may disagree. In any event, whether he has a COI or not, he's spamming. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:28, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

m.i.a.

Hi there! I've had a go at revamping the M.I.A. article with several new sections. Still in the process. Please give your opinion on the M.I.A. article under "Politics" section regarding User:Exander's insistence on it being kept. He's perfectly content with the new sections, but wants it all repeated in a section with the title "politics" and I don't understand why. Thank You.Lifebonzza (talk) 16:33, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Again?

I've been approached offline about the possibility of running for adminship again. You were one of the opposers last time. What do you think? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 04:34, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

For my part, I'm not sure how I'd vote. I'm certainly less inclined to think you're not ready than last time. However, I suspect you'll run into substantial opposition again. ANI is inherently high drama and almost any contribution there can entail future RfA opposes, it seems, even though I think your recent contributions have been far better than your older ones, which I may or may not have characterised as being of a "court jester" nature at your last RfA. Memory fails me; apologies. SHEFFIELDSTEEL^TALK 22:02, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
