Tacoma Dome isn't Geodesic

Hi there, I noticed you reverted my edit of the Tacoma Dome. On the Tacoma Dome's website it quite clearly states that it isn't a Geodesic dome, but that it is the second largest wooden dome. As well, the American Pavillion at Expo 67 is the seventh largest dome, don't remove it.Abebenjoe 17:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I've also written the Tacoma Dome folks to have them explain what a "planer radian roof" is as aoppsed to a Geodesic dome. From the picture that is on the wikipedia site, it looks like a Geodesic dome. Abebenjoe 17:47, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Elliott Smith Quote

Hey uh no... Why would you revert a fact? I remember the article, because its from The Ballad of Big Nothing, a biography on the life of Elliott Smith, so whoever wrote the quote was partially right. Thank you for experimenting though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.154.167 (talk) 07:47, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

WP:AIV

Hi, have have removed your block request from WP:AIV. I know vandalism, especially vandalism to one's user page, can be frustrating. But please try to remember that blocks are meant to prevent vandalism not punish it. In the future, please make sure that the vandal is active before posting to AIV. Sock puppets, are another issue and should be reported to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets. Keep up the vandal fighting effort. --Selket ^Talk 06:14, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing..." -William Shakespeare, Macbeth

Unblock Request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

---

Request reason:

Exactly why should I be blocked? I was the one who reported the abuse, the one who warned the user to stand down and start discussing the issue instead of blatantly leaving insulting messages on my talk page. If this block is because I continued the edit-warring, then I suppose under WP rules I get blocked too, and I'll admit to that much. Either way, the other offending user was being incredibly disruptive, even more so than me, and the entry under Suspected SockPuppets should be investigated. Please respond ASAP. TheLetterM 19:00, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Hello TheLetterM, I appear to be the administrator reviewing your block. I can only echo what Crum says below, unless there is obvious vandalism or a banned user, 3RR still applies. The addition of the music genre by an unblocked editor doesn't really qualify for an exemption - if it's debatable it's usually a content dispute rather than vandalism. When there is sockpuppetry involved over a content dispute it is less disruptive to get the socks blocked rather than edit war. I'm sorry to say therefore that I don't think this block is wholly inappropriate. There is some good news however. On reviewing the evidence (I haven't even yet reviewed the SSP case) I noticed considerable evidence of sockpuppetry by Minutes to Rise (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (eg [1] [2]), and I will be applying a block forthwith to this editor prevent further disruption. I will continue to review the sockpuppet case, especially the allegation that this is a long term sockpuppeteer (this can take time). In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your break. — -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 13:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Note to reviewing administrator: TLM was blocked for reverting a troll who turned out to be yet another sock of a long-term sockpuppeteer, see Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Minutes to Rise. SalaSkan 21:03, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Block

Hi TheLetterM, I have blocked you for 24 hours for edit warring on Post-hardcore. I realize you believe there is sockpuppetry involved, but first of all, I don't see a clear proof of it, only suspicion. Second, even if you were 100% correct on the sockpuppetry, that wouldn't allow you to violate 3RR, unless you could show it was a banned user, or there was a copy-vio or BLP issue (which I don't see in this case). So please do not edit war - pursue WP:RCU or WP:SSP, and report WP:3RR if you get a positive result and a clear violation. Please read up on the relevant policies during your time out, and feel free to message me if you have any questions or comments. Thanks, Crum375 19:01, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I understand. Thank you, I will see about e-mailing you with the sockpuppetry evidence. TheLetterM 19:04, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Crum, please check your email account, I have just sent you evidence of sockpuppetry. TheLetterM 19:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Whaat!? Did someone just block this editor for revert warring with a troll? User:Minutes to Rise and his socks are single-purpose accounts intended to provoke edit wars, see here. Blocking someone who counters his disruption is insane. SalaSkan 20:24, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

• Yes, indeed, I have been blocked by Crum375 for editwarring with Minutes to Rise. Regardless, I stand by his decision, as I should've stopped reverting his edits the minute he reached the 3RR limit. I've e-mailed Crum evidence that MtR is a sockpuppeteer and a sockpuppet for User:AFI-PUNK, he has graciously added the specific info on their SSP page. Let's not get carried away, I'll be back tomorrow. TheLetterM 20:33, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Then the block was an obvious mistake. Editors shouldn't be blocked for reverting trolls/sockpuppeteers. 3RR even says so. SalaSkan 20:56, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I checked in with Uncyclopedia, they said that it was alright to keep the material here as long as proper credit is given, which I have already done. [3] KJS77 05:31, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Ian MacKaye

It is being claimed that Ian Mackaye was pronounced dead this morning at a Baltimore hospital. The singer of Minor Threat and Fugazi was struck by a car after a show in New Jersey. The driver fled the scene which led to a police investigation that is still going on. Ian Mackaye has been pretty influential in the underground music scene. He will be missed if he is in fact dead. I say "if" because the news isn't really confirmed by a valid source yet. But it is stirring around buzz on the internet. So there is a big possibility that Ian Mackaye is dead.

Re: Elliott Smith

Could you please take another look at the earlier versons? The section was originally sourced, as seen here, then removed, and re-added without the sources. I will admit I am unfamiliar with the article, but would appreciate you taking a look at it to see if the information is valid. Also, I would just kindly request that when you revert established editors, you not use the "Vandalism" function of Twinkle, as my edits were done during recent changes seeing an anonymous editor blank a large portion of a featured article, and obviously not vandalism. Instead, if you use the simple "Rollback AGF" option, or the "Rollback" option and provide an edit summary, it would be helpful. Thanks so much for letting me know! Ariel♥Gold 01:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thank you so much for looking at that last revision! I really appreciate it, as I wouldn't know if it was true or not ;) Thanks! Ariel♥Gold 02:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Bottomless Pit (band)

A tag has been placed on Bottomless Pit (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:35, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Vitreous Humor

Hello! I've moved Vitreous Humor (band), which you created, to Vitreous Humor, as there aren't any other article subjects with the same capitalization. We try to use the most general title possible for articles. On a related note, I changed vitreous humor into a redirect to vitreous humour. All the incoming links to vitreous humor were for the part of the eye; the disambiguation guideline specifies that when one usage of the term is overwhelming, we usually make that one the subject of the main article, and link to articles on other usages from a separate disambiguation page. That guideline page has some examples. I also added some hatnotes to link between vitreous humour and Vitreous Humor, which makes it easy for readers to navigate between the two. No offense meant at all, just tidying up things. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to post on my talk page. Happy editing! —Slowking Man (talk) 05:36, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Louie-p

FYI, Louie-p was not eligible for speedy deletion under criterion G4, because there had been no prior discussion (AfD) on deletion of the article. However, it was still eligible for deletion under A7, as the article did not make any new assertions of notability. —C.Fred (talk) 01:09, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

And yes, I know all too well the feeling of hitting 'Save page' and then going, "No, wait, that's not what I meant." It's almost always with templates like that that I use frequently (and I don't use Twinkle, etc.). —C.Fred (talk) 01:15, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Dick Wertheim

An article that you have been involved in editing, Dick Wertheim, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dick Wertheim. Thank you. Grutness...wha? 04:59, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Patrick Goodpaster

You placed a CSD tag on Patrick Goodpaster. The article doesn't quite meet A7 - it does indicate why its subject is significant - so I recommend that you list it on AfD if you still think it should be deleted. Graymornings_(talk) 06:16, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion proposal

After you proposed speedy deletion of Poisson hidden Markov model, an admin did irresponsibly delete it, and it was by accident that I learned of this and restored that page.

You should not propose speedy deletion of an article merely because it's fairly clumsily written by a newbie. 15 seconds with Google, or even searching within Wikipedia, would have been enough to make clear that the article did not fail to identify its subject. The fact that you are ignorant of mathematics and therefore don't understand an article about it is not a reason for speedy deletion. Michael Hardy (talk) 01:48, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Another couple of speedy problems

... with the article Kim McKay. I'm not sure if the version you db-spammed was spam; at least one of her books has won some impressive awards, so we probably want to have an article about her, even if the tone was a little off. Then you db-copyvio'd it, and you might be right about that, but not at the url you listed; there was only one short paragraph about her at that page, so the whole page can't be a copyvio. Do please delete any part of the article that's a copyvio, and if you find another webpage that this article is a copyvio of, tag it and I'll probably be the one to bag it (this week, anyway). (Watchlisting) - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 00:18, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

• Have you checked the deletion log for this page? I'm pretty sure that it was deleted for copyvio at the listed URL some time ago. I've also just done another search on the text for this page and found this source where the article does some cherrypicking from. I personally think that removing material that violates copyvio here would necessitate a fundamental rewrite of the entire article, and from the looks of her achievements she deserves better. TheLetterM (talk) 00:29, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for searching. I see the content has been removed from the article now; could you keep an eye on it and make sure the copyvio stuff doesn't creep back in for a week or two? I think we want an article on this author. - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 02:42, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Certainly. TheLetterM (talk) 04:50, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Deletion policy

I am not sure of deletion policies, but Nicktoons: And the Ancient Crystal needs to be deleted. There is no record of it being produced or developed by anyone ever. It was created by this user, who has created false pages before, even. BOVINEBOY2008 14:13, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

• I added a prod-2 template to endorse the deletion, though to be quite honest I could tag it for Speedy Deletion under criteria G3, or pure vandalism--from what I see, hoaxes tend to fall under this criteria. TheLetterM (talk) 16:10, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

THANKS!!!

I did not know how to insert an in page wikipedia link. Thanks for helping me out. btw, can u suggest somebody to mentor me in the intricacies of wikipedia??? Thanks again Debangshu Mukherjee

The Whispering Wall (album)

I've declined the speedy deletion request for this album, as it is a recording by a notable artist (The Legendary Pink Dots). However, it was really hard to figure out and took a help desk post to clarify. I've cleaned it up some, but it still needs some care. Best, TNXMan 20:55, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Kosmix

Hi!

Well, you put a guideline of what to do (and not to), so i thought i should explain myself before removing that from my page :-)

Kosmix is obviously noticeable by now, and i deleted the speedy deletion tag only to put the {hangon} tag (that i learned in WP guidelines). I probably shouldn't have deleted the first tag, but i thought i could do that since i was replacing it to another tag.

By the way, the {hangon} tag was already removed by an admin, and everything is ok now.

Phoenix14news

I did some major trimming to the article and added sources. And have now just found and added multiple awards from various organizations... 2005: Aegis Awards Winners and finalists recognition[4], 2006: two awards at the 27th annual Telly Awards[5], 2007: they won a Radio-Television News Directors Association of the Carolinas (RTNDAC) Award for "Best Student Television Newscast".[6], 2008: Three awards at the 29th annual Telly Awards[7], and the 2009 Broadcast Education Association awards[8][9]. I think it has enough independent notability after being trimmed and properly sourced to exist as a stand-alone. Best regards, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:55, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Retinal Gene Therapy Using Lentiviral Vectors

TheLetterM,
Thanks for your feedback concerning the article. I can certainly try to do a rewrite of the article sometime in the near future as you bring up a valid point about it not being as accessible to the general audience as it could be. I mostly mean this article to be something for the scientific community, but I think it's important to do a rewrite just so other people might be able to make use of it to. I don't know if I'll be able to rewrite it sometime this week, but I definitely would like to change it so it reads better. Thanks for the input!

The Movie Animation Studio company it's mine. Only that it doesn't exist the company, it's a home studio company, like Paws Inc. (Garfield's company) in it's first 3 years, that was in the home of Jim Davis in 1978. In the first comic strip says Paws Inc. and the paws inc. doesn't existed until 1981. Sorry if i'm violating something.
