re: troublesome user

Hi Leebo. Thanks for tha answer on the help page. The user did all of this today on the stress (medicine) page. I'm still kind of a newbie on Wikipedia, so I'm looking for a suggested process to follow in this case. (Looking through all of the templates/warnings/etc. is still a bit overwhelming, and I don't want to accidentally overreact because of lack of familiarity with the commonly accepted practices here.) Thanks for the help. --- Taroaldo 21:11, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. After I posted the above comment, I noticed that Kesh has already cleaned up the page in question. --- Taroaldo 21:23, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

YOU

• Why don't you spend your time on some other article, you have already killed this one. Within minutes you decided to nominate an article about something you obviously know nothing about for deletion. You have been granted authority to make judgments and destroy anything you choose within Wikipedia; how satisfying for you and how sad for Wikipedia. You appear to be self centered and closed minded and your youth and inexperience does not serve Wikipedia. Wikipedia would be better off if it purged you. You are no better than a computer virus wrecking havoc all through Wikipedia. You have abused your authority, and I would like to believe it is only a matter of time before they discover the damage you are really doing to their product. I only wish I could be there to see it happen. I will however take comfort in the knowledge that, in time, it will happen. Now, I have expressed what has been on my mind for the past week. I am done responding to you and no further responses from me will be forthcoming.

Ailde 12:12, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

• The issue here is that the article violates just about every one of Wikipedia's core policies. Any administrator would treat it the same way. Also, I have not exerted any administrator authority throughout this process. All of my actions could have been performed by any Wikipedian, admin or not; as such, it's not possible for me to abuse authority I'm not using. Leebo ^T/C 15:33, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
• Also, you speak of my youth and inexperience, and I can only assume you mean in relation to endeavors similar to your township's strategic plan. In this regard, you would be incorrect, as I spent the early months of 2007 petitioning the residents of Richmond, Rhode Island to get a proposal for writing a town charter to referendum. We were successful in getting enough signatures, leading to a vote that initiated a charter writing committee. I had to ask hundreds of people for their support and explain the process that they would be supporting. I know what small town government committees are like, probably more so than the average 21 year old. So, please, if you have any more comments to make that only rely on your assumptions, just think them and don't post them. Thanks. Leebo ^T/C 15:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the reply my fellow wikipedian. I was looking at cities in the US where you are from and the info boxes are different to cities in Australia and probably around the world. Thanks for your help my friend.Roadrunnerz45 13:18, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

AWARE posting

Leebo,

I understand the page for AWARE (Americans Well-informed on Automobile Retailing Economics) was deleted because it was too commercial. I wanted to understand what might need to be changed to meet Wikipedia's requirements.

Thanks,

Lifeline Expedition

Thank-you so much for your help Leebo with my article on the Lifeline Expedition. When will it go up? I did a search just now and it didn't come up, so I guess you clear it first?

Heh. Is that message one that has been left before? I think I've seen it, but not by the same editor. Kind of a weird trolling message. Anyway, no problem, he edit conflicted me, so I saw it before it got removed. Leebo ^T/C 19:24, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes - I saw a version of it earlier today (or yesterday - time flies) from a different user. It's trolling / spam and revert on sight stuff! Thanks again. Pedro |  Chat  20:31, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Question about History pages

As I was writing a comment in a user:talk page, I got spontaneously logged out of Wikipedia without realizing it (probably something to do with IE or Zonealarm) and so the talk page's history lists the comment as coming from an IP. Is there any way to correct a History entry to show my proper userid rather than the IP? Thanks. --- Taroaldo 19:17, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

The main concern was privacy as I was bolding some integrated commentary in my own Talk page. --- Taroaldo 19:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I have replied at WIP Comics talk —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wipcomics (talk • contribs) 16:20, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Everything that is currently on that page, are fact about the creators and the webcomic. I have removed any opinion. The only ones that are involved or closely involved with WIP are myself and Dave. We had a listing within just WIP at one point on here and someone deleted it. I see no reason for this to be a conflict of interest to list facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wipcomics (talk • contribs) 16:24, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

How is information coming directly from the source not considered truth?

As I have asked before is something needs to be changed or removed then please be more specific. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wipcomics (talk • contribs) 16:28, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

If nothing else

I admire his/her persistence! And I think that was awesome what you did getting the refs, very nice of you! ^Ariel♥Gold 00:15, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes. Quite persistent. I'm about to just create the article myself... Other new users are going to get lost in this discussion! Leebo ^T/C 00:18, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

That is awesome of you. The truth is (~*turns her face away ashamed*~) I truly don't have any idea what "Anime" is, I thought it was some kind of video game, but it seems it is some movie thing or something. I'd be really the wrong person to create the article! And, you'll be a hero, to the editor requesting it, and to me! lol. Thanks! ^Ariel♥Gold 00:21, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Edit to add: I really felt bad declining all those submissions, but I really couldn't in good conscience accept without good sources. Finally, I just left it up to others, and commented on the issues and directed reviewers to the Help Desk, and still it wasn't enough, so I can understand her frustration, lol. ^Ariel♥Gold 00:22, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Anime is pretty much just cartoons in Japan, except it's a bit broader than just what's aimed at children here in the United States. Tamao Satō is a voice actress, and anime voice actresses can reach levels of popularity in Japan similar to our biggest movie stars. It's easy to see why the user is frustrated with convincing us she belongs here. Leebo ^T/C 00:25, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Well I could tell the actress was notable, but the way the submission was given, there was no justification for it, and no sources to verify, (blood type, favorite movie, lol, typical fan site stuff). So I really had to follow the rules of WP:AFC, no matter what I might have thought personally. I still think you're awesome for taking the time to do this, I doubt I'd have been able to figure out what was what, lol. ^Ariel♥Gold 00:28, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Help desk

Hi,

Thanks for your answer, which is somewhere on the Help page.

The question was about formatting (and so on) an article. OK, so I'll put it on the page you indicated, and we'll take it from there.

Yamakiri

Whatever. Yamakiri made an attack on another person, I removed the attack and warned him/her that they shouldn't do that again. Corvus cornix 20:45, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

And confusion ensued due to the vague template. That's my point. I'm not commenting on the actual removal or attack. If a template says things you don't mean, you probably shouldn't use it. Leebo ^T/C 20:46, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Where did I say I didn't mean what I said? Corvus cornix 21:27, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I was referring to the fact that uw-attack is for attack pages as opposed to uw-npa being for violations of WP:NPA. In general, templates tend to try to cover all their bases, with lots of vague language. They often direct people to the sandbox or the welcome page. If the template doesn't say exactly what I mean, I write my own message, that's all. Leebo ^T/C 22:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity what will I do with this?. Any advice would be perfect :D AngelOfSadness talk 17:57, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like an empty threat. I'll keep an eye on his contribs and if he "reports" you anywhere, I'll make sure it's explained to whoever gets the "report". Leebo ^T/C 18:00, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah, he left a note at the help desk. I'm not going to reply to it, and I don't think you should either. Leebo ^T/C 18:03, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm not going to either. Thanks again :D AngelOfSadness talk 18:05, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

By the way himself/herself has been blocked indef for making edits such as thisthis and this. That was after three admins replied to his help desk "report". Your advice really, really helped and again thank you soooo much :D AngelOfSadness talk 19:24, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps you two will be interested in this and this (they are obviously all the same person). Solution : Revert, block, ignore. -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 11:23, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Michael Grandage

Hi Lee

Thank you for your message.

I work for Michael Grandage in the UK (CMP acts as his agent here) and have been asked by him to edit his entry in Wikipedia as it needs updating. He also asked for the link to an article from British theatre industry newspaper, The Stage to be deleted.

Unfortunately, this article contains inaccurate and misleading information for which the publication has since issued an apology.

In this instance, we would regard the change as a helpful correction rather than a "conflict of interest". Additionally, all we would like to do is update the list so that his most recent productions are included.

I'd be grateful if you would confirm whether the above changes are possible. I'm new to the editing process and apologise in advance if I have misunderstood the system!

Many thanks Jo Allan —Preceding unsigned comment added by CMP Limited (talk • contribs) 14:47, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, forgot to do this CMP Limited 14:50, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Michael Grandage

Hi Lee Thanks for your reply. I understand your point entirely. Unfortunately, in this case what would normally be considered a reliable source (i.e. a theatre journalist for a respected publication) was markedly unreliable and as such we would be grateful if, for accuracy of information the link to the article could remain deleted. As for further changes, I will be sure to back them up with press articles from the US and the UK. I hope this will suffice. Thank you again for your help.

I guess it's going to take someone coming along, getting mad at me, and fixing the error themselves. The issue is, what they had labeled him as was wrong and needed to be deleted.

Hi there; yes, I thought both names were bordering on violation, but certainly I did not feel enough conviction to over-rule you. Clearly Philippe had no such problem!

Question

You have a better command of policy than I do. Just curious what your take on User:Ryan Rasmussen this page is. Thanks. Into The Fray ^T/C 15:26, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

The page was basically an attempt to write an ad-like encyclopedia entry without including it in the encyclopedia, created by User:RRasmussen. I deleted the page and left a note on User talk:RRasmussen explaining that it's an inappropriate use of userspace. Leebo ^T/C 19:21, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, appreciated. Into The Fray ^T/C 20:47, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Leebo - request to resolve dispute

The page User:Ryan Rasmussen has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This is because it was an advertisement for an individual designed to resemble an encyclopedia entry.

Additionally, it was not created by User:Ryan Rasmussen, but by you. This is an inappropriate use of userspace (see Wikipedia:User page). You can leave me a note on my talk page if you have any questions. Leebo T/C 19:17, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Leebo,

Thanks for the explanation (and not simply deleting without reproach.)

To solve the first issue, I would like to author the page under the correct username, Ryan Rasmussen. I inadvertently created two usernames under the same email address.

To solve the second issue of questionable content, I ask that you help me to understand what components you consider adverts. I am not marketing another company, nor myself. My volunteer work with the Long Now and virtual communities has generated a great deal of interest resulting in interviews. I only list my company for full disclosure, and links to the interviews to source the statements made in the bio.

Thanks, Ryan

Leebo - page resubmitted under correct user

Leebo,

My user page that was deleted has been resubmitted under the correct username. Please contact me with any concerns. I would like my userpage to be verifiable, but not misleadingly encyclopaedic.

Thanks, Ryan —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryan Rasmussen (talk • contribs) 03:50, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Ryan, because you posted this both here and on my talk page, I'm going to respond only here. My response is brief; I was not familiar enough with policy to feel confident in addressing it without seeking direction. Hence, I turned to Leebo, who is an admin here and much better acquainted with the policies, as I knew from seeing his work. I'm always given a little pause when considering the user space (as opposed to the main article space). I'll leave it to Leebo to respond regarding your concerns, but I'll be watching.  :) Into The Fray ^T/C 03:53, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

I replied on User talk:RRasmussen. If I'm wrong about the intent of the page, then it's probably not a big deal. The red flags were the fact that it's written as an encyclopedia article and on a user page that wasn't the same as the user creating it. Leebo ^T/C 03:58, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
