Your editor review (copycat header of the one above :P)

Hi, Ryan! I'm just here to bug you about your editor review; I was wondering if you'd consider archiving it. Of course, this is purely optional; there is no requirement at all. I'm just asking because the list is getting a bit crowded. Again, if you'd like to stay on longer to see if you get more reviews then by all means feel free to do so. Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{Call me MoP!☺)} 04:27, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello RyanLupin, I have granted rollback rights to your account. The reason for this is that, after a review of some of your contributions, I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended use of reverting vandalism: I do not believe you will abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck.

Response to your Question

Re your question about the link on my user page to Miamiboyzinhere's talk page, I was looking through a list of people listed for vandalism and he was the first one that popped up. Then I read through all the trouble he has been causing you (and others) and added the link.

I suspect it's him that left that recent stupid comment I reverted on your talk page.

I will remove it once they finally get rid of him. Or maybe I should remove it now if you think it will get me drawn into it all.Ozzieboy (talk) 13:05, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

No no I was just curious is all. Thanks very much for the reversion on my userpage, much appreciated! :) —— Ryan ^(t)•(c) 13:40, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

THE UNIVERSAL STANDARD BOOK CODE (USBC)

This is obviously a test page and a copy of Universal Standard Book Code. I thought of redirecting it, but because it is all capitalised and starts with the word "theE I decided not to. Regards LittleOldMe (talk) 11:19, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, yes I see this now —— Ryan • t | c 11:20, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

You deleted a page!

The page 'Roblox' is missing, I was surprised that it didn't have it's own page. Anyway, I spend about 30 mins making it but it got deleted straight away, why? Apparently it was advertising, no way!

Couldn't you bring the article back? Why did you delete the page in the first place, it was hardly advertising, but it did have that speedy delete thing... :o

And I guess i could put in that little Template:Keep or wateva' it was at the title but how can I, it's been deleted!  :(

Maybe the website said they didn't want an article on wikipedia or something so whenever somebody make an article about it, it gets deleted. and I right?  :/

To be honest the page was only like 2 paragraphs long but it would be better if there was at least something for roblox...

The page in question was deleted per A7 - "An article about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from questions of verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability; to avoid speedy deletion an article does not have to prove that its subject is notable, just give a reasonable indication of why it might be notable. A7 applies only to articles about web content or articles on people and organizations themselves, not articles on their books, albums, software and so on. Other article types are not eligible for deletion by this criterion." The page Roblox has also been protected to prevent it's recreation and can only be edited by an administrator. For more information, check out Why was my page deleted? to learn why Roblox was deleted. —— Ryan • t | c 13:14, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

collegiate secret societies

Hi ryan, no tag need on sacred order of skull..., it is all part of an effort many many to fix the collegiate secret socities of north america page. The page has been nominated as a "good article"- were are all just turning noted and cited red links into blue to complete the page. thanksSocietyfinalclubs (talk) 23:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't see it nominated at WP:GAN but I have noticed that it was nominated for deletion and on 10 July 2007 and was given a unanimous delete —— Ryan • t | c 23:12, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

It's all a bit confusing but the User:Societyfinalclubs is referring to the article Collegiate secret societies in North America as that which has been nom for WP:GAN. The user seems to be attempting to make articles for all the societies which are referenced from said article from what I can see. Nk.sheridan   Talk 23:28, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I can see this now. Very confusing :P —— Ryan • t | c 23:30, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey there, there is alot of info for sacred skull... so I will be spanding some time on it, to not have edit conflicts, just let me work on it throughout the evening, I will make sure all is clean before I am officially done- lots of info to add. thanksSocietyfinalclubs (talk) 23:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

That's fine, I have no intention of making any further edits, all I did was fixed the references, that way you'll have a base template to use for future references as I got the impression you didn't know how to do this. If the article undergoes a major revamp or edit, I recommended using the {{inuse}} or {{underconstruction}}. Good luck! —— Ryan • t | c 23:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thankyou

We are looking for trouble be leaving that talk on the page- these topics have had a lot of problems in the past, administartors just had a mix up now- I have put hours into fixing tons of society pages and, I am not going to take the chance of people screeming hoax and having everything destroyed- this situation is an exception to the rule, and those that have been involved with fixing the Collegiate secret societies in North America know what I am talking about. I appreciate your concern for the rules- but it is best if we start out clean- we are looking for trouble by having some delete notice on that talk page, and then creating a whole cycle of confuson and mass panic- please allow me to remove it thank you, it is for the best in this situation, please be reasonable- thank you very much Societyfinalclubs (talk) 00:30, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

How can you justify your reversion? You fear controversy? If the article was nominated for deletion in the past and deleted due to an unanimous consensus then it was clearly a just removal. This kind of information is best left intact. I'm not going to let this turn into an edit war but I will insist in the reversion of your page blanking. But be warned, if you keep continue blanking the page, you will be classed as a vandal and will be banned. Breaching of the 3RR rule is serious and will often be considered grounds for an immediate ban from the site on the very first occurrence. I've tried to help you in the creation of this article, I've fixed your refs and offered you help but if you're going to come back and bite me then next time I won't bother. —— Ryan • t | c 00:37, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

These secret society pages have tons of hoax accusations and cause massive problems across wikipedia. It is best to start out clean. Tons of people have put tons of effort in fixing all of these society articles because of hoax accusations and all sorts of problems- we are asking for trouble if we do not start out clean- we have to use a bit a reason in this case- and know what is best, administrators had a mix up, it has all been cleared up, I got the OK, and lets start it off clean. thank youSocietyfinalclubs (talk) 00:40, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

If you can prove the article's notability then there is no need to worry about members claiming it as hoax —— Ryan • t | c 00:42, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

If there is no problem with notability regarding the articles on secret societies linked from the article Collegiate secret societies in North America then there is no reason to worry about WP:HOAX. However, most of these linked articles lack WP:NOTABILITY IMO. Nk.sheridan   Talk 01:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

We are a small company in California serving the needs of the Restoration Comminity since 2003. While we may not be html saavy, our mission is to make foreskin restoration afforable and accessible to men around the world.

We have registered with Wikipedia and are unclear why our attempting to place a link is considered vandalism. We see similar services with links. Would you be good enough to contact us with clarification as to what we need to do to be listed on your pages as a restoration resource, and HOW?

Thank you for your time and kind assistance.

Mistake in labelling page blanking as vandalism

Please remove your vandalism warning from User talk:Lordinajamjar. As the author of an article which had been criticized for lack of sources, he is entitled to blank it and under WP:CSD that constitutes a speedy deletion request. As a result, I speedily deleted it. Thanks. Edison (talk) 16:46, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks very much for removing the vandal warning and in general for your efforts against vandalism. Keep up the good work! Edison (talk) 16:52, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Marian Gaborik Talk Page

I'm trying to fix my entry on the talk page since Hazmat-Man is editing the Marian Gaborik page with false information (that he was traded to the Vancouver Canucks, he has now done this two times already). He also deleted my entry on the Marian Gaborik talk page, check the edit history. I just want to organize the page so the TOC reads out correctly. Thank you. --Reezy (talk) 21:28, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

No I didn't revert your edits twice, there was an edit conflict between you and myself and I unintentionally reverted your edition. This happens sometimes when two people edit at the same time. The reason why there are to reversions in the history is because I reverted my original reversion. Does that make sense? I tried to fix my mistake. ——Ryan | t • c 21:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

No, I don't think you got it yet. Check out the edit history between when I and Hazmat. Hazmat-Man clearly deleted what I wrote in the talk section. Isn't deleting any other user's postings under the talk section (that are clearly not your own) against the Guidelines? At any rate, it's all fixed now. --Reezy (talk) 21:42, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Here's what I'm talking about, this is where he changed it:
(cur) (last) 18:54, 20 May 2008 Hazmat-Man (Talk | contribs) m (18,581 bytes) (undo)
(cur) (last) 18:11, 20 May 2008 Reezy (Talk | contribs) (19,038 bytes) (→Hazmat-Man Vandalism) (undo)

Yes and as you can see from this (diff), as soon as I reverted your comment, I reverted myself as I knew I'd made a mistake. Accidental reversions do occur when you patrol recent changes so don't take it personally. I made a mistake and I'm sorry. ——Ryan | t • c 21:50, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

No, no, no. I'm not saying it's your fault. Far from it. I'm just saying that Hazmat-Man vandalized not only the article (which he did twice), but what I said as well on the discussion page. --Reezy (talk) 21:56, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Ohhh I understand what you're saying now. I see you've warned the user appropriately too, which is good. Sorry for the confusion. ——Ryan | t • c 21:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Deadwood Bonsai Techniques

Hello. I did remove all of the information on the discussion page of Deadwood Bonsai Techniques. When I found the article, it was no doubt a stub. It had only two sentences. However, I did some reaserch, and changed it so it would no longer be a stub. Since it is no longer a stub, I simply removed the box saying that the article is a stub. Thank you for watching out for Wikipedians. Remilo (talk) 21:40, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

On Victoria Eleanor

Hi. A few hours ago you deleted a comment left on my talk page:

==HEY!== - How are you? It's victoria here...it has been very long :)

I think there was no apparent reason for you to delete it. I've checked the IP's historial and found no vandalism. The same user however left a message commenting on the comment deletion on my user talk page on the Nahuatl Wikipedia. I don't know if this is real but as far as I knew, User:Victoria Eleanor was User:Jade1984 as well but her last contribution dates on August 7, 2007. If there is any actual reason for you to have the comment deleted (as I don't consider it vandalism), please let me know. --Fluence (talk) 22:22, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes I reverted that comment because Wikipedia is not a social network such as MySpace or Facebook. "The focus of user pages should not be social networking, but rather providing a foundation for effective collaboration." The comment in question: "- How are you? It's victoria here...it has been very long :)"...is both unconstructive and inappropriate for an encyclopaedia. I noticed the user made a similar comment here which was also reverted. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to drop me a line. ——Ryan | t • c 22:36, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
