== Request to unprotect Page. ==

I emailed you last week asking if you can un-protect vasectomy but received no answer, therefore I thought I would try again here. Although there are only a few days of protection left, I'd like to get back to contributing content while I have some free time. A quick look [[Talk:Vasectomy#WP:3O_discussion_for_compromise|Here]] will show that the "temperature" of the discussion has cooled considerably.

Spin bowling

Note: this content was moved from my Foundation account.

Hi Phillipe. I notice you reverted my changes. Did you read the talk page before coming to this decision? as this was a change that has been discussed in detail and the changes I made were the course that we decided on. Please can you either come onto the talk page and discuss your reasons against the changes or revert your change back.

You also mentioned editorialising. I was under the impression that this meant I am presenting my own opinion? If you look closely, all of the information I have included is either a quote from the reference or a simple matter of fact "leading wicket taker" for example, is not a matter of opinion.

I appreciate your input into this matter, but we are trying to improve this page and constantly having edits blocked is slowly progress to a crawl.

Thanks Py0alb (talk) 14:14, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]


I apologise if my referencing was not clear enough, but if you follow the link I gave, you will see that Shane Warne was voted into the "all-time XI" by a panel of experts on cricinfo.com. This means he is considered to be at very least amongst the top 5 bowlers of all time.

If you leave the change - or indeed have any further suggestions - I will try and tidy up some of the more wishy washy wordings this afternoon. Py0alb (talk) 14:23, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Random admin

Hi, I'm a bit busy right now and saw that you recently edited ANI so may be online. Please could you get Gold Hat (talk · contribs) to change their ludicrous signature per WP:SIG? Thanks. ╟─TreasuryTag►directorate─╢ 06:32, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well thanks for your help. ╟─TreasuryTag►sheriff─╢ 05:26, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

POV and BLP

Hi. What exact was the problem with the edit you undid here. That how the article was titled, anyone can check on the sources. Am I missing something? --Damiens.rf 19:44, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Albert Verrecchia

I usually give it 10 minutes; that's more than enough time. If it goes beyond that, it's the creator's fault; that may sound very harsh, but it's hard enough to keep up with NPP as is without having to wring our hands over articles like that. It would have gotten a refimproveBLP tag at the time anyways, which tilts me towards doing something regardless; if there had been better sourcing, I'd have tagged it refimproveBLP, because there was none I G11ed it. We don't need more badly referenced BLPs floating around. You'll also note that I tagged it G11, which is completely different, has nothing whatsoever to do with notability, and absolutely fit at the time; that someone did work on it is good, but that's highly unusual with pages like this; I've tagged thousands of these, and that's the 5th time I can remember this happening. I am very open to criticism, but please make sure you're criticizing me for the right thing next time. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 00:18, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If it takes more than 10 minutes to write an article to the standards of en-wiki, that's too long? Have you actually written an article? Ironholds (talk) 05:21, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. I took the time to get everything set before I hit save. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 05:25, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
And how long did it take you? How long do you think it would've taken you if you were brand new? Ironholds (talk) 05:26, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Minus the infobox (which I just about never see newbies use)... probably around, oh, 10 minutes, 15 at most. Granted it's not the greatest example, given that places are inherently notable, but my point stands. As a new user, I actually took the time to learn things before I started trying to do them; made my mistakes, but I waited about 11 months to create my article so I'd know what I was doing. It wouldn't have taken me a whole lot longer as a new user, except I would have had to figure out the ref tags. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 05:30, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
So you estimate it probably took you as-much-as-or-longer to write an article, after almost a year here, as you are willing to give a newbie. Does that sound fair? Ironholds (talk) 05:32, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not looking for perfection in new pages, I'm just looking to see some hope of it being a decent article. If I wanted to write Noh Poe to the level of a typical newbie, it would have taken me 2 minutes, but that would be rather pointy of me. I'm wrong every so often; it happens to all of us. This was one of those instances. For things that I do see some hope for, I'll either tag it as necessary or, if I know something about the subject (as in Chihiro Iwasaki), I'll take some time to do it myself. Does that clarify what I'm getting at? The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 05:39, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet

You'll probably want to block User:Coldcave, whose account was created by User:Reducegovernment. It's an open-and-closed case of sockpuppetry. Jrcla2 (talk) 01:19, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Responded on the user's talk page. - Philippe 10:02, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Boxer picture

The photo used on the article of Barbara Boxer has been moved to the Commons as File:BarbaraBoxer.png, and has been deleted on English Wikipedia. However, only admins can edit Boxer's article so I ask if you can make this change. Aaaccc (talk), 4 April 2011 (UTC)

 Done. Just for future reference, you can leave a note on the article's talk page requesting edits by leaving {{editprotected}} with a description of the edit there. :) - Philippe 19:11, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RE: I strongly suggest you walk away

Absolutely. No more on that from me. DileepKS(talk) 07:20, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re: April 2011

Thanks for the intervention. I have only responded to numerous personal attacks by the IP user 59.x.x.x and that too in a reasonable way. As you can probably see, there have been several IP reverts and the subsequent discussions have been used to make very personal attacks, especially by the IP user 59.x. I would appreciate if this is looked into. Thanks - MountainWhiskey - talk 08:07, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

European wildlife

Hello! User:Danny Worker posted a helpme asking why European wildlife was deleted, so I looked at it. You deleted it, saying that it was a copyright infringement of this page. I'm not familiar with wikibin, but it calls itself the "recycle bin of Wikipedia". Just by looking through their list of articles, it looks like they're actually the ones mirroring Wikipedia, not the other way around. The website seems similar to Deletionpedia, where they are hosting articles that have been deleted from WP. Is this correct? If so, the article should be undeleted, and perhaps wikibin should be contacted to get the licensing figured out... Thanks! – GorillaWarfare talk • contribs 16:33, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was just coming here to comment about this same thing. Wikibin does just host copies of deleted Wikipedia articles, so there's not a copyvio issue since the history can be found and restored to correct the attribution. Usually, though, anything that matches is G4'able. As in this case: European Wildlife had Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/European Wildlife. VernoWhitney (talk) 18:02, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ack! Quite right. Restored, and thank you. - Philippe 00:40, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vasectomy

Dear Philippe, I respect your decision at Vasectomy Talk, and I believe it was the right decision at the time, but the problem has not been resolved, and I seem unable to manage on my own the intimidating behavior and unsourced point-of-view edits that are being inserted by Dijcks. It has become necessary for me to seek third-party intervention. The original request for full protection may be appropriate at this time to provide oversight for any edits that may have unsourced point-of-view claims. You can see the discussion today and my explanations for why third party intervention is necessary: [[1]]. I have made a formal request at formal request, and would be honored if you would address it. Sincerely, Giancoli (talk) 02:46, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, no choice now. - Philippe 03:45, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lot of IP Vandaism took place in Chiranjeevi. Anonymous users degrading the content of the article like misplacing links, etc--Thalapathi 08:25, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Protecting (even semi-protecting) an article is a drastic step to take - it limits participation on the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. So the vandalism that we see is not sufficient for that level of protection at this time. - Philippe 08:37, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

<original comment deleted>

As with any semi-protection, you are welcome to discuss it on the article's talk and come to consensus. You may also use {{editprotected}} to request an edit to the page. I will not be the judge and jury of who is right and who is not. I will, however, insist that you not refer to other users with defamatory statements (which I am removing from your comment above.) - Philippe 04:14, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
