Drug Therapy Problems
To: Cassandra 73
Thank you for cleaning up wikipedia of spam, but I must ask you to reverse your speedy deletion of Drug Therapy Problems. This section actually can not be reworded because it is technical information that is defined by those exact phrases. I listed one copyrighted source as an example that I didn't just pull it out of my hat, but in fact I could list 100's of sources. This is a very important topic because it correlates to many other disciplines related to pharmacy and drug therapy. One author does not hold copyright to these definitions as they are national guidelines that are then talked about in vast medical literature specifically pharmacy related. comment added by speedymarathon (speedymarathon) —Preceding undated comment added 09:20, 26 January 2010 (UTC).
- I'm not an administrator so I can't reverse the deletion myself, but it may help if I clarify why I tagged it. There was no indication on the website it appeared to come from that the text was in the public domain. Brief quotes can be used in an article if correctly attributed, but if the entire article matches the source word-for-word this is usually a copyright infringement.
- If you disagree and still want the article restored, you can contest this at Deletion Review (WP:DRV). Cassandra 73 (talk) 17:31, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Comment From Me to You
Note To Cassandra73 Thank you, Though it was Deleted, I Will Actually Re-Make The Page, But Instead, I Will "Put it in my own Words". I Aplogize For Any Inconviences That I May Have Caused To You Cassandra73. --The Demon Of The Wiki Sea, Razgriz 15:58, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

CD/DVD copy protection
Thank you for reverting the SPAM in this page - I did the same yesterday! Since the spammer changes his address, I've asked (and got) page protection (three days granted). Keep up the good work - it can be hell out there!
Since you seem keen to revert vandalism, you might like to consider using Twinkle - where you can easily revert a change and twinkle will make it easy for you to add the standard warnings - I think you need to be autoconfirmed first (4 days and 10 edits).
Another useful tool is Vandal fighter for seeing in real time which pages have been edited. I used this for quite a while until I got enough experience to be able to get roll-back rights to use Huggle Ronhjones (Talk) 00:48, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Wikipedia_Rollback.svg/80px-Wikipedia_Rollback.svg.png)
I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not 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 and thanks. — Tivedshambo (t/c) 07:31, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

re: Farmers Home Administration
Thanks for your early intervention. The long programmatic notice that I got for trying to correct a simple error in spelling, albeit with the article title, was totally off-turning. I have enjoyed making some small contributions to Wikipedia in the past, but I was ready to hang up my editing spurs after that one. Had I been a complete newbie, I probably would have quit right then and there. When I saw the missing link in the Reformers ousted, I spent a fair amount of time researching the rural and agricultural programs arising from the New Deal. There are many things that need to be added to what I think is an important article about that activity. But I was not about to pursue that project after the abrupt digital slap on the hand for my boo boo. I almost didn't even return to see whether the problem was resolved. I was preparing a caustic "Dear Jimmy" message in my head. But I went to the watchlist out of habit and saw that you had made the needed correction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grapeguy (talk • contribs) 16:05, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

COI/N update, re: promotional bouncing balls flying down hills
Greetings!
I wanted to let you know that I accidentally bumped into your COI/N incident report by mistake after apparently being lost in the massive spam overload of the page on the questionably-placed huge incident up top for almost 48 hours. It seems to have fixed itself for now, but I gave out a full opinion here if you'd care to read. Really, sorry it got missed, but with the trainwreck there right now I can (unfortunately) see how it was glanced over since there aren't many true patrols active there (was there at random myself, for that matter).

Hiya Cassandra. (Any connection to Cassandra, prophetess of doom?) Thanks for your work identifying usernames that fail our username policy, every report I've seen has been right on the money. Do you have the Twinkle tab that says "csd" loaded up, and are you interested in tagging (most of) these userpages per WP:CSD#G11? It would be more efficient if I could make the deletion call at the same time I'm making the call on blocking, since once I've read everything I need to read to make one call, I'm in a position to be able to make the other call. Just a suggestion ... do whatever work you're comfortable doing. (watching) - Dank (push to talk) 14:02, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
- No problem, I can tag the user pages as well when appropriate. (I sort of had Cassandra in mind when I was creating my account, it was an on-the-spot decision really!) Cassandra 73 (talk) 20:07, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. I don't know if you prefer having the whole Twinkle package ... I prefer only having the tabs I need. You can search for "speedy" at Wikipedia:Twinkle/doc#Installing individual Twinkle modules if you like. - Dank (push to talk) 20:27, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Ta
for the move of my comment. Peridon (talk) 20:41, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
It's a little complicated
mainly because different admins tend to look at different things. It's quite likely that a real estate agent who goes by User:IdahoRealEstate and creates a promotional page is not going to contribute productively; the question is how to handle it. My advice is to pick one of two directions and go with it ... either be one of those people who argues the close cases, or aim for recognizing the cases that everyone agrees on, and just do those, and leave the close calls alone. Everyone agrees that we should {{uw-softerblock}} User:ReMax if he works for ReMax and talks about that in his edits (unless he's misbehaving badly, in which case we need something stronger, but that's rare). But theoretically, User:IdahoRealEstate might actually listen to what we're saying, and he might start writing about real estate in Idaho in general and drop his WP:COI. Because that's so unlikely, there are admins who are just waiting for reports like that one at UAA, and they pounce and block. Other admins don't like this because it seems to be (and probably is) against policy, and they blame both the blocking admin and the patroller for making their jobs harder. So ... probably best to forget about the "promotionalism" aspect, and instead think about the copyright problem: information can't flow freely if you lose track of who has the copyright (this is giving Google some major headaches with books.google.com), and we can't know which individual has the copyright on the edits if the edits are associated with a company or website. So, just report the users where there's some evidence that it's the name of their company, organization or website, and it's not a company of just one person. For instance, we softerblock an account named after a band only if there's evidence that it's more than just one guy; if it's one guy, then we treat the band name as an alias or pseudonym, and that's okay. (Watching) - Dank (push to talk) 22:39, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. I’ll take that on board as it’s not my intention to make controversial reports. The board’s meant for blatant violations, so I think anything that might involve a close call can’t really be blatant. Cassandra 73 (talk) 23:50, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
- Works for me. - Dank (push to talk) 23:54, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

First Annual Wikiout. In order to give our vandalism, new page and spam patrollers a well deserved day off, it is suggested that all edit patrollers take a 1 day vacation from editing Wikipedia, on Thursday, April 1, 2010.

- As far as I'm aware, if the text has already been published elsewhere that makes posting it on Wikipedia a copyright violation. Taking it down from the other site doesn't change the fact that it has been published in the past so I don't think it will solve the problem.
- If you are the original copyright holder, you can donate the material to Wikipedia - please see WP:IOWN for details. Cassandra 73 (talk) 17:15, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

User:Fischerg & User:Gerryfischer (same editor?)
Hi Cassandra 73.
I am contacting you as you had some involvement with User:Fischergs' user page, see here
They seem to have another account as User:Gerryfischer, as the user pages contents were almost exactly the same.
I gather having multiple accounts (sockpuppets) is not generally allowed.
The 2nd account came up at AN/I here regarding the content. ie BLP violation. I am not sure where to take this, WP:UAA (similar user names) maybe? or WP:SPI (but it's so obvious), or WP:AN/I as before?, so I came to ask you. What do you think?
- ps. We seem to have started editing about the same date, see here
- Thank you for your time, regards --220.101.28.25 (talk) 21:53, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- This is a strange case, but I don't think it's serious enough for WP:SPI at this point, since the accounts aren't being used to deceptively give the impression of two different editors or to evade a block. Probably not an issue for WP:UAA, as it's quite specific in it's focus on problems with the username itself, rather than problems implied by the username.
- Fischerg has blanked the other user page and neither account has edited for a couple of days; I'd be inclined to take this back to ANI if there's any further disruptive editing from either account or a new account crops up (they may regard it as stale if it was raised now). Cassandra 73 (talk) 22:46, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for getting back to me, Cassandra 73.
I get you points. I imagine our Admins are busy enough with more immediate problems. Seems a case of an editor who does not fully understand what Wikipedia is about. If it's of any interest I found the other account by taking a slab of the blanked text and "Googling" it. I was rather surprised to get a fully matching 'hit'. - FisherG actually made a major addition to Richard Doty, which had been a stub since 2005! I'm looking at whether it is a wp:Copyvio (very possibly a cut/paste from another site) or formatting it properly and getting references to make a decent article. : ) --220.101.28.25 (talk) 11:09, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

AfD - Dustin Robbins
Hello Cassandra! :) I've added my response to the AfD page for Dustin Robbins. A question for you, if you don't mind - I have several other articles that I want to add that are of importance to the Body Modification industry and I want to make sure that I am providing enough support for their inclusion. I have read most, if not all, of the information on creating articles and notability. The biggest issue I have come across is that it is difficult to provide evidence of notability in a case such as Dustin Robbins, where the subject is in an "alternative" industry that few "main-stream" or common media outlets report on. It seems it would leave Wikipedia incomplete to leave out notable subjects simply because they are unconventional or in a small industry, and therefor do not have many of the most commonly accepted sources. This is especially true in an industry such as Body Modification, where many notable subjects make a point to avoid main stream media outlets. Any recommendations? Thank you for your help! Qquackk (talk) 00:39, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Qquackk. Wikipedia’s notability requirements are not the same as the everyday definition of notability; it’s generally determined by the strength of the coverage in reliable sources (see WP:GNG) and evidence of this has to be present in the article (WP:NRVE). Unfortunately if suitable coverage is not available there’s really no getting around that – this is upheld particularly rigorously for articles about living people.
