Australian Citizenship TestHi Tony, I'm tracking the ongoing progress of the Australian citizenship test. I was surprised that there's no reference to the test on Wikipedia so thought I'd submit some of my articles on there. I see that you've removed these based on suspected copyright violation. As I own the copyright, I'm happy for this content to be posted on wikipedia. I'll recreate these pages but feel free to contact me if I've misunderstood.

Number One Night of the Long KnivesTony--I've worked diligently over the last two or three weeks to improve the quality of the article Night of the Long Knives. Since it was the event that consolidated Hitler's power in Germany, and by some accounts inspired Stalin to being his purges, it is a highly important event in twentieth-century history. I've added about thirty cites, and uploaded four photos. I saw your contributions to the Goebbels article, and I think that the Night of the Long Knives could also benefit from an experienced editor familiar with Germany in the 1930s. Any help would be greatly appreciated. --Mcattell 19:06, 14 July 2007 (UTC) I've had it up on WP:PR for a few days, but no one has looked at it. I also placed on WP:GAC. Thanks. --Mcattell 19:08, 14 July 2007 (UTC) Enjoy your dinner, and thanks.--Mcattell 19:14, 14 July 2007 (UTC) Thanks for your help!--Mcattell 20:19, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
NotLK continuedThanks for your suggestions. I appended them to the Talk:Night of the Long Knives page and added commentary. I incorporated some of your suggestions directly into the article also. I generally can only edit on weekends, but I'm going to try for FA status perhaps in a month or so—it just got listed today as GA. Feel free to edit the substantive article, add analysis, etc. I'm going to try to add to that pesky list of partial victims also. Thanks, Mcattell 20:25, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks.--Mcattell 20:29, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, but your insights were excellent as well. I'll keep you posted.--Mcattell 00:25, 16 July 2007 (UTC) This article, I believe, was just speedied by you. I have a few questions:
Rob liefeldQuick question: the other day, you posted a notice on User:Rob liefeld's talk page, after I listed him on WP:UAA, banning him indefinitely, and yet he's still editing. The block logs say you've discovered it is his real name, which is fine, but you might want to remove or modify the "blocked indefinitely" thing on his talk page. Is there a template for thiss sort of thing? Just a noteHey there, I noticed you often use {{subst:UsernameBlocked}} for inappropriate usernames then explain below as to why, just to tell you that you can use {{subst:UsernameBlocked|Reason for blocking}}, just so you know. Cheers – Rlest 20:25, 16 July 2007 (UTC) My RfAThank you for your support in my successful RfA. I appreciate the trust you and the WP community has in me. And a special thanks for being the first to show support. Carlossuarez46 21:27, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
I removed him from the list in case it turns out to be nothing. You want me to keep an eye on the page? -WarthogDemon 01:11, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
RFA CommentYou mentioned that a support !vote is per nom, and an oppose generally elicits some type of reasoning. As far as the issue of support without reason, can you cite where this comes from? Is it a guideline or a generally accepted practice? The reason I ask is because over the last year I have seen several example of well-known editors who do, in fact, simply sign their name in the section for support. the_undertow talk 04:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
You asked for itYou offered to help with some newbie admin advice, now I've got a question for you: if what I'm deleting (usually speedy) has been deleted multiple times in the past - I put 2nd, 6th, whatever deletion in my rationale. Is that good, bad, or neither. Also, what's the rule of thumb on how many deletions does an article get before it should be salted? And should the deleting admin do that or request it so a second pair of admin eyes can review and either do it or not (as a sanity and vanity check). Carlossuarez46 18:28, 17 July 2007 (UTC) CheyenneHi dear Tony! :) Well, I'm not an expert in Cheyenne history; but as far as I know, yes they did; in fact, I understand they actually established there, and there's a significant number of Cheyenne still living in Montana. I can look deeper into the matter, if you want; just let me know and I'll browse my books a little. Hope you're doing great! :) Love you, Phaedriel - 22:12, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Image RenamingI just noticed that Image:Quilfish.png is misspelled. It should be Image:Qwilfish.png. Anyway to rename it? -WarthogDemon 23:47, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
AdminshipYes, I am going to have you nominate me, but not until perhaps October since I created my account in March. Thanks. NHRHS2010 Talk 00:13, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
NotLK continued2They're great contributions, thanks. If you get a chance, perhaps you could provide direct page citations for them. I added a few more, including some from Shrier. I don't like indefblocking IPs without a checkuser to confirm how shared the IP is and how many users might be affected. It brings up the annoying problem that you can either:
So without a checkuser to look at the activity on the IP I tend to stick to shorter blocks. If I've tracked the vandal correctly it looks like they were harassing Jetlover using several IPs in a short space of time so I suspect a fairly dynamic IP. Another factor that makes me prefer a shorter block. I could be wrong, but that explains my reasoning. WjBscribe 00:59, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
RE: Vandal warningsThanks for the advice, in my haste I mis-read the guideline. I'm kinda new to being an active wikipedian! I'll try and read things slower next time ;) -- --M2Ys4U (talk) 01:05, 19 July 2007 (UTC) For all your hard work....

Page DeletedHello Mate, My page titled Avant Garde Pakistan was deleted on tbe 15 June 2007 citing Copyright Infringement as the reason. The article pertaining to Avant Garde Pakistan was written with the permission and knowledge of Avant Garde Pakistan [www.avantgardepk.com] . If you need any proof, I can ask them to email it to you. With Regards, Sas311 About a user you blockedUser:Sarah Goldberg appears to be back as User:A. Shakespeare. I can't figure out exactly why you blocked her, so I'm unsure of whether anything needs to be done. Cheers, WilyD 19:01, 19 July 2007 (UTC) Proposed article rewrite project for homeopathy and related articlesHello, I noticed that you were an active editor in the homeopathy article and I'm leaving you this message asking you to add some input into a proposed article rewrite project I have planned for it and related articles. This means that I will rewrite the article, post a rough draft as a sub page of my username, then when I am done I will gather all major contributors to work on the article from there following specific rules. Anyone who has been in previous disputes concerning this or related articles should be able to come to a compromise if they are reasonable. This project will take several weeks and will probably involve several other articles. Hopefully we can turn homeopathy and related articles into Featured articles or at least Good articles. If you're willing to aid in such a project then please leave a note of support here Talk:Homeopathy#Proposed_article_rewrite_project and answer these simple questions here Talk:Homeopathy#Questions_for_editors. Thanks. Wikidudeman (talk) 02:56, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

userpage vandalismBad luck, I suppose. I seem to have a knack for attracting people who hold grudges/obsessions and will then vandalise my page dozens of times in one go. I also try to check up on people vandalizing to make sure they aren't continuing their behavior, so I tend to catch the same people multiple times. I suppose that gives them one target for their frustration, as opposed to several, and they are then more likely to harrass me. Whether or not that's an accomplishment, I don't know. Natalie 00:56, 22 July 2007 (UTC) Can you watch this user please?A user named User:Nate Speed constantly adds false information to articles. Whenever he is warned he usually replies with "You block me, I'll block you back so HA!". He exhibits childish behavior claiming all his information is correct yet he has no proof. So could you please block or watch him? Thank You! Shadow-sama 06:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC) Night of the Long Knives FACThanks for all your help in providing criticism for Night of the Long Knives. I have nominated it here it for featured article status, and would appreciate your assessment. Thanks, Mcattell 01:51, 26 July 2007 (UTC) TemplatesYou are quite right of course. It read like an advertisement for his works, but classing it as a bio would have been more appropriate. Benea 22:03, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand why you un-speedied that particular talk page ([2]). David Marshall Williams redirects to David Marshall (Carbine) Williams. Short of moving things around so that the redirect goes the other way, I don't see how the former is the kind "viable" that would warrant a talk page. (I've also commented [[Talk:David Marshall Williams|on the talk page itself). — AnnaKucsma (Talk to me!) 23:38, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
burp==exactly, anyone can edit any page. so, that is what I am doing. if you SIMPLY email me from the web site given, I would reply from a diva dome address. and all would be fine. but, no, instead I have all these wiki-trolls swarming because they think they have a growing situation. grow a ball, and simply email me. until then, I am simply clearing two pages with old irrelevant content, and refering people to a link that will make sense to only those who stumble on my page from another page. Why all this obsession (nearly a sickness) with such irrelevant activity is beyond me. But I suppose they have to do something with their lives. I (and the rest of the staff) will continue to clear these pages as I just sent a memo. I feel like a am stuck at a fucking renaissance fair. have a good weekend... tell everyone to get out of the house! FACIt just got promoted to FA a couple of days ago. Thanks for all your help and contributions in making Night of the Long Knives a featured article!--Mcattell 12:56, 4 August 2007 (UTC) ReplyThis guy is a serial vandal, that I call the Hidden Message Vandal and he hasn't figured out how to use the history option. Quite often he'll leave messages on his various talk pages asking who is leaving him messages. He has vandalised the page of user:Gran2 several times and quite often leaves messages insulting him, so I figured it was best to try to keep my identity a secret. -- Scorpion0422 17:26, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
Following up on this, since Scorp's going on vacation, Scorp, User:Gran2 and I have been following this user around since June, reverting his edits. Sometimes they're legit, most times they're garbage. He's vandalized my user page as well, but frankly I consider it a badge of honor that shows I'm doing something right. :) I filed an abuse report at the end of June, but one admin responded saying there was nothing we could do about it other than to report each offending IP address and have it blocked. I contacted British Telecom about it, but was told they couldn't do anything without server logs (which I don't have access to, and don't know how to acquire). There is an open case file with the BT security team, #12356595. Note that I've also posted this information at User talk:Chaser. We've been after this guy for months, and it would be nice to bring the vandalism to an end. -FeralDruid 19:08, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: AdviceHi Tony, I'm not up on the latest policy on how to perform range blocks without gumming up a lot of honest editors. Have you tried asking User:Raul654. He's up on a lot of this stuff, I believe, or should be able to direct you. -- Cecropia 22:04, 5 August 2007 (UTC) Deletion of BenQCan you reconsider your deletion of BenQ? It's a fairly large company pretty well known in the computer industry with lots of coverage [3]. It is linked to several articles and the {{hangon}} tags added by 213.178.224.164 (talk · contribs) appear to be more like vandalism due to the sheer number of them added. Thanks. =) -- Gogo Dodo 06:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Unlost InterestAnthony, Thank you for the note. I have not lost interest in the FWT article. I have decided that it is adequate for now and am evaluating my other articles for comparison. Also I have been working on articles in the "opera corpus" page and related things which have recently attracted my attention and interest. Are you suggesting anything specific for the FWT article? It does compare favorably with other articles I have written. Also I am preparing a couple of articles by researching and writing initially outside of the wikipedia pages and planning to enter them in a less raw state which will likely make them more acceptable. Meanwhile I hope all is well with you as it is with me. BestCanticle 04:11, 8 August 2007 (UTC) DrVAn editor has asked for a deletion review of Darren Jones.

SamBC(talk) 20:22, 9 August 2007 (UTC) Speedy deletionJust thought I'd point out that [4] this went through AFD earlier this year and survived as a no consensus. I was considering sending it back to AFD when I saw that you have speedied it. Personally, I'm not bothered either way but I wasn't sure if you had noticed the AFD. Cheers Spartaz Humbug! 21:06, 9 August 2007 (UTC) Speedy delete tag on Harvey MeyerhoffIt is correct that User:Cave Bovum was banned after creation of this article. Indeed, he could not have created it if he was banned. However, he was a sockpuppet of a user banned in July 2006, well before creation of the article. See [5]. Cave Bovum is a confirmed sockpuppet of WordBomb.[6] I hope this clarifies matters and I'd ask that you reinstate the tag or perform a speedy delete.

The reason the bio I posted here was also featured on Frisky Radio's webiste (http://www.friskyradio.com/shows/?id=55) is because it was lent to them with our permission when he appeared as a guest Dj.

It is clearly a poor list that should be replaced by an encyclopedic article, but given its large number of incoming links a simple deletion (without replacing it by something else) did not seem the right thing to do to me.

I've sent you an email. ~ Wikihermit 23:25, 31 August 2007 (UTC) Response to your message about NaphthalocyanineI posted a speedy tag on this article because the user was also posting the same "under construction" on various articles. The user in question should start an article before posting under construction, it had no meaningful content and therefore fell into the criteria for speedy deletion. The user could rewrite the article if it was deleted, but leaving a post "under construction" while starting various articles is not appropriate. If he had at least started the article I would have agreed with you. Also my CSD post was not directed at the user, but whether it was suited for Wikipedia. That user did not WP:OWN that article when he created it, therefore it does not violate WP:BITE. Hello32020 23:44, 1 September 2007 (UTC) 3RR?this diff. This isn't a content dispute -- the offending user is trying to say that a proof is invalid, though it is not, because he/she believes .999... is not equal to 1, though her or she is incorrect. It is a difficult concept, admittedly, but the user is requesting changes on the article page, not the talk page, and this is a violation of policy. He or she has been warned that these edits are vandalism, continued, and should really be blocked for vandalism past the fourth warning. Giving the user one more edit's grace is ok, I can understand that. But calling it a 3RR violation implies that user:Oli Filth (the other reverting user) would also be at fault, which is untrue. Gscshoyru 21:46, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
The reversion itself is not vandalism, except for its recurrent reposting. Like, once or twice might be reverted but would not be vandalism, because the edit in question is pefectly sensible and logical. Just wrong. It only becomes vandalism under 3RR rules, and for a block a 3RR warning must be given first. His last edit timed 09.43, my warning timed 09.47. Therefore, within the 3RR framework, he has not vandalised past his final warning. Yet. Does not qualify as blockable under WP:AIV, for reasons I explain above. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:25, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Now look, this is only my interpretation, OK? My view is that a well-meaning and non-objectionable edit which is to the point of the article will not normally be vandalism. Repeated edits can be vandalism under 3RR, but a block is only permissable after a 3RR warning. When you come to apply for WP:RfA you will find out how tricky this can sometimes be! Yes, user:Oli Filth can revert vandalism edits as much as he likes, given that they can clearly be defined as vandalism. In an edit war, where the edits of both editors can be held to be sound, both can be 3RR blocked.--Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:52, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
You deleted this article, please give me the reason for it. I posted a clear enough "hangon" tag and additional info. Please use my talk page. aphexddb 03:27, 4 September 2007 (UTC) Special Barnstar
I noticed you speedy-deleted the page as "patent nonsense". What part of this is speedy-deletable nonsense? MessedRocker (talk) 17:08, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Octopus VandalismThanks for your words of advice, I just wasn't sure if we are suppose to warn IPs as there was mention of a bug where as the IPs wouldn't see the messages. Anyways thanks! --Tm1000 09:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
RE: user:KuruFalconHi. Thanks for the note. I do not tend to indef block vandalism only accounts, at least initially, as I personally feel that it will simply incite the individual, who can simply come back as another account once the 24 hour autoblock has expired. I prefer to start with limited blocks to see if the user can be rehabilitated, perhaps into a useful user. The only flaw I see in this logic is that a committed vandal might see the indef block, assume they will never be able to edit, and then never come back - but I feel that this is unlikely. I have not heard much feedback on this, especially from established users, so it would be really good to hear yours. Cheers TigerShark 22:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. Could you take a look at my comments on Category talk:Anti-communists and see if you think it should be a candidate for deletion. Thanks. Davidelit 06:16, 10 September 2007 (UTC) Thanks for the note!I was wondering where I had gone too >_> But now I'm back, so it's all good :) Dihydrogen Monoxide 07:32, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
deleted "Talk:A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More 'Touch Me'" Forgive me for not understanding, but I am curious as to why this page was deleted. The answer listed below does not make any sense to me. Thanks, Stan
Please add {{WikiProject banner shell}} to this page and add the quality rating to that template instead of this project banner. See WP:PIQA for details.
Old SALT vs New SALTThis is mostly an FYI to you as an admin who still uses the old, templated method for salting pages. That method of salting pages is depricated, and the template is now up for deletion. While things can still change, the current discussion definitely looks headed towards deletion. Assuming that this happens, you will no longer be able to salt pages with the old method, and will need to begin using the newer salting method that involves cascading protection on the title, and allows recreation to be blocked while still having no article at the name, leaving it as a red link. This new method of salting is centered at WP:PT, and the instructions for how to make it work are there as well. - TexasAndroid 13:10, 11 September 2007 (UTC) SorrySorry - it is midnight here in the UK and it has been a long day.

Your closure of an AfDHello, Anthony, I hope you are doing well. I am writing to you in regards to your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Operation Uhuru with a delete outcome. I do not fault you at all for concluding that should be the result, given that no one had yet spoken up for the article. However, I had just been reading the article and I was a little slow in forming my opinion because I was reading the supporting references. As you know, AfD is not a vote. In this particular case, unfortunately, the people who commented at AfD did not seem to correctly apply policy. I will examine them one by one:
The article certainly claimed notability. There were more than a dozen references. Even if we follow the advice of one of the people at AfD (Wl219) and discount the ones that all come from the same source, there are still 4 sources, which is more than required by WP:V. Because of this, I would like to request that you reverse the closure in favor of keeping the article. This is one of the cases, unusual but not unheard of, where the AfD comment ors missed the boat on correctly applying policy to the question at hand. Thank you, Johntex\talk 01:42, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
RFA ThanksTibetPLease see Jaggang. I will be going through and adding the infoboxes in the next few days and info like this. I work better this way thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:07, 15 September 2007 (UTC) I know all this. I was working my way though very very slowly and it seemed like an enormous task. This way once the red links are moved psychologically I think ah I can just go through the remainder and add an infobox and detail and soon enough every article will have full details and info. It has a reference to confirm authenticy but please bare with me thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:15, 15 September 2007 (UTC) Many admin know about my work anyway but I hope people can see I aim to add full details later. For me this is stage 1. Its taken 6 years to get them onto here some settlements have 6,000 odd people when many American/ European villages with a opulation of 100 odd were on wikipedia in 2001. Soon enough every starter page will be like Jaggang or Deleg which has all the chinse and tibetan transliterations which another WP Tibet member is adding. Then the next step will be to try to expand each article. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:21, 15 September 2007 (UTC) Yes of course but I thought I might get a ticking if I used that on all these many new pages ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:26, 15 September 2007 (UTC) Ok I've created a special template which may be useful for other editors who are adding landmarks to set them up then return later. The standard template didn't relay any intentions of my work See Quxam ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:54, 15 September 2007 (UTC) CSDHello. The reason why the templates are white (not just the speedy deletion templates; all of them) is because of WP:TS. --Agüeybaná 18:34, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

ThanksThanks for restoring my page temporarily. I've copied what I needed and I know it'll be taken down again. We'll fix up our work and resubmit it. Butterbutterbutter 23:07, 15 September 2007 (UTC) Undeletion requestHi. Back in July, you closed the AfD for Turtles and tortoises in popular culture as delete. I saved a copy of the deleted article and have since rewritten it to a standard that I think is suitable for Wikipedia. Here is the rewritten article. If you think the new version is acceptable, would it be possible to have the old version undeleted so that the page history is restored? Thanks. Bláthnaid 15:47, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
User:Mocrosoft and User:Mylordjesus were both blocked before I had a chance to reply to your comments. I think the important thing to emphasize for myself is that I did not think they were blatant violations. I'm not sure what is wrong with Mocrosoft, since the user had not edited in a promotional way and there was no promotional capability for the name. Mylordjesus mentions the name of a religious figure, but in an expression of faith, not in a distasteful way. I realize you didn't block these names, and I'm not sure I'll discuss it with those that did, but I wanted to reply to you. Leebo T/C 01:17, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Links to the deleted articlesHi! When closing AFDs, what about removing any incoming links to the deleted article? Punkmorten 07:11, 18 September 2007 (UTC) Your messageI think you will find, that basically all of his edits were vandalism, thus my warning is justified.

However, much of the content was used in other articles, and I think GFDL requires that the authors be acknowledged if we use their content. Can you restore the history and make this a redirect to one of the articles where the content was used (either London Underground statistics, London Underground or London Underground history)?

oopsI'd like to add a point to this discussion. This editor has been pushing his own point, and his own links into articles; right above he admits to owning that copyright; which is from website of a publisher of books, demonstrating he is either the owner/writer/significant stake in that company. Thus, he adds his links into articles. I have found 3 examples. Number One [�http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Australian_citizenship_test&diff=159831596&oldid=159338904] That link is to his site promoting a product, which I see in the history of the article another anon removed the link, which he promoted put back. I placed my comments here;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Australian_citizenship_test] And a quote from said website: "Quote: “We must receive payment of the whole of the price for the goods that you order before your order can be accepted. Once payment has been received by us we will confirm that your order has been accepted by sending an email to you at the email address you provide in your order form. Our acceptance of your order brings into existence a legally binding contract between us.”" Number Two [8] Adding his website; blatant abuse of Wikipedia guidelines Number Three [9] Wow, using own website as a reference! That is beyond COI, I need not say more. Quote: “The testable materials within the revised second edition handbook total 21,400 words, which is nearly 10,000 words longer than the original materials. url = http://www.redsquirrelbooks.com/index.php/site/detail/revised_life_in_the_uk_test_materials_released | title = Revised Life in the UK Test materials released | publisher = Red Squirrel Publishing | date = 30 March 2007 }} Please deal with this matter and I appreciate your time. 211.28.81.214 17:39, 23 September 2007 (UTC) ThanksThanks Anthony, i just asssumed user:meateater was an admin because he acts like one but i appreciate you taking the time to correct me on that, i will drop you a message if i need any help Mr Creasy 05:10, 24 September 2007 (UTC) What?Oh, I am sorry, I was under the influence that civility was not tolerated here.
