User talk:PaterMcFly

Welcome

Hi PaterMcFly, I could barely resist spelling your name Pater Mc Fly, but I accept your authority to write your own names however you want.

I think we should allow St.Gallen to do so, too.

Check the primary resource http://www.stadt.sg.ch

It is the official website of the city. I hope you concur that proper names are not subject of discussion.

In this sense I reverted your AGF edit. Thanks Tang Wenlong (talk) 21:21, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I know this website, thanks. They use the form without space, but unfortunatelly, I don't think this can go as primary source in this case. Most newspapers use both spellings, and Duden also suggests to use a space, therefore, as I said: Both are common and can be used interchangeably. It may be a personal preference, but I think the form with space looks more up-to-date nowadays. --PaterMcFly (talk) 06:00, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

(Re [1]) Don't worry - you're nowhere close to the limit. Let me know if he does it again. –xenocidic (talk) 13:55, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the support. This is getting anoying. --PaterMcFly (talk) 13:58, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Note: User:69.86.161.159, obviously the "opponent" of User:Truthful data has once again stuck the article. I've reverted once again (his version is very biased in the other direction) and leave a warning on the talk page that the next such edit will have consequences. --PaterMcFly (talk) 18:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

I suppose that's it now. While I was away, User:69.86.161.159, obviously the "opponent" of User:Truthful data (see history of article), reverted to "his" very biased version. While I was writting a warning to that user and one on the talk page, truthful data reverted back to his (in the opposite direction biased) version again. Either full protect the article (probably in my version, since, if I'm not completelly wrong, that's the least biased - although in general I would not ask a protection on a specific version, but this seems to be a special case) or block both parties for an extended period of time. --PaterMcFly (talk) 18:43, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Reverted and protected your version, not because I endorse it, but because it seems to be the one with the least BLP concerns. I'm going to engage another admin who is more experienced in these things to take a look and see if I've acted appropriately. –xenocidic (talk) 18:55, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

That's probably the best thing to do. I have basically no knowledge about the subject too, and the article is definitelly not the best anyway, so some rewritting would be a good thing anyway. At least that dumb edit-warring is over now. Maybe one of the involved warriors will even come down and start discussing? Hope against hope... --PaterMcFly (talk) 19:02, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Could you do me a favour and look at what Keeper wrote here and do the needful? I'm at work and don't have time to do this. If you can. Cheers, –xenocidic (talk) 19:24, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok, give me a few minutes. --PaterMcFly (talk) 19:30, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

It might help but the offer might be turned down... apparently Ryan Beta doesn't get the concept of leaving content in place until it's rewritten. If it's just one user they usually won't protect it. Maybe a stronger warning, or maybe admin will give him a little time out. RainbowOfLight ^Talk 23:59, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Rollback granted

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing! –xeno (talk) 16:26, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
