Coming here to ask why I reverted your edit? Read this page first...

Please leave me new messages at the bottom of the page; click here to start a new section at the bottom. I usually notice messages soon. I attempt to keep conversations in one location, as I find it easier to follow them that way when they are archived. If you open a new conversation here, I will respond to you here. Please watchlist this page or check back for my reply. If I have already left a message at your talk page, unless I've requested follow-up here or it is a standard template message, I am watching it. If you leave your reply here, I may respond at your talk page if it seems better for context. If you aren't sure if I'm watching your page, or I'm slow to reply, feel free to approach me here.

Welcome to my talk page! I am an administrator here on Wikipedia. That means I am here to help. It does not mean that I have any special status or something, it just means that I get to push a few extra buttons to help maintain this encyclopedia. If you need help with something, feel free to ask. Click here to start a new topic. If I have not made any edits in a while, (check) you may get a faster response by posting your request in a more centralized place. If you need to get a repeat vandal blocked, you can report them to Administrator Intervention against Vandalism. If you need a page to be protected from editing, try Requests for page protection. If you would like to request rollback rights or account creator rights, Wikipedia:Requests for permissions is, well, that way... :) If your problem does not fit into any of the above criteria, and your issue is urgent, you can: Make a post on the Administrators' noticeboard, the Incidents noticeboard, or one of the other noticeboards. Ask another administrator for help. Here is a complete List of Wikipedia Administrators. If you want to ask for help, you can ask at the help desk for questions about Wikipedia, and at the reference desk for more general questions. You may also simply ask a question on your talk page and add {{helpme}} before your question. This will attract the attention of experienced users who will most likely be able to help you.

Did I delete your page, block you, or do something else that I should not have done?

First, please remember that I am not trying to attack you, demean you, or hurt you in any way. I am only trying to protect the integrity of this project. If I did something wrong, let me know, but remember that I am human, and I do make mistakes. Please keep your comments civil. If you vandalize this page or swear at me, you will not only decrease the likelihood of a response, your edits could get you blocked. (see WP:NPA) When posting, do not assume I know which article you are talking about. If you leave a message saying "Why did you revert me?", I will not know what you mean. If you want a response consisting of something other than "What are you talking about", please include links and, if possible, diffs in your message. At the very least, mention the name of the article or user you are concerned with. Also, if you sign your post (by typing four tildes - ~~~~ - at the end of your message), I will respond faster, and I will tend to be in a better mood, because unsigned comments are one of my pet peeves. If you are blocked from editing, you cannot post here, but your talk page is most likely open for you to edit. To request a review of your block, add {{unblock|reason}} to your talk page. (replace reason with why you think you should not be blocked.) I watch the talk pages of everyone I block, so I will almost definitely see you make your request. If I am making edits (check Special:Contributions/Doug Weller) and I do not answer your request soon, or you cannot edit your talk page for some reason, you can try sending me an email. Please note, however, that I rarely check my email more than a few times a day, so it may be a couple of hours before I respond. Administrators: If you see me do something that you think is wrong, I will not consider it wheel-warring if you undo my actions. I would, however, appreciate it if you let me know what I did wrong, so that I can avoid doing it in the future.

You can email me from this link but in the interests of Wiki-transparency, please message me on this page unless there are pressing reasons to do otherwise. Comments which I find to be uncivil, full of vulgarities, flame baiting, or that are are excessively rude may be deleted without response. If I choose not to answer, that's my right, don't keep putting it back. I'll just delete and get annoyed at you.

Anunnaki

My apologies. I deleted that prematurely without finding the proper sources to refute. NJMauthor (talk)

I want this article deleted.

Doug,

Just delete the entire article. I would rather not have an article listed if there is no control over the lies that were added about me with no citiations. Thanks for all your help.

Breein

You unblocked Breein1007, unfortunately you did not lift the autoblocks, [1]. nableezy - 16:30, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Oops, I was heading out the door as I was unblocking and forgot. Now done, I hope! Dougweller (talk) 17:39, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Reverting

Just curious: why did you feel the need to revert Crystal skull to include a link to a redirect instead of a direct link? Thanks! 74.102.195.24 (talk) 18:45, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

You ever try editing with a netbook? (Especially one where the cursor keeps jumping around). I didn't mean to do that and I've undone it. Thanks for pointing it out. Dougweller (talk) 19:05, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Very inappropriate behavior of administrator Ckatz

Then take it to ANI, but note that the last person who did this was a disruptive editor who ended up being indefinitely blocked. I see no problems here. Dougweller (talk) 05:26, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Sun tzu art of war institute

Hi dougweller, I had created the above mentioned page but it was deleted under g G8 . Seperately I recieved in my inbox that it was due to G12. I am the manager of the institute and have submitted request for permission of copyright but before I repost will like ur input on G8. Appreciate it —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xenium88 (talk • contribs) 05:53, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

As manager, what you really should do is request that someone else create the article at Wikipedia:Requested articles, as you have a conflict of interest - see WP:COI. Dougweller (talk) 10:49, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

RE: "were blessed with" crusade

Would you mind taking a look at this, and the few edits preceeding it?

Question

Am I still about to be blocked without further warning? Ceoil (talk) 20:44, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

As I recall, I struck the warning. I said in any case I wouldn't block you. You told me to back off and asked me to get lost and I haven't posted on your talk page again. I don't know why you are continuing this, but I'm going to bed. Dougweller (talk) 21:13, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Night, you deserve a rest. But you maligned me on two pages, and when I faulted you on the first -wrong offence - you shifted and came up with another reason - insufficiently clear edit summaries. Since you are so free with badly researched openion, allow me the same. I dont respect you. Ceoil (talk) 21:51, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Dougweller (hopefully one more thing before you go). Did you approve of this? If not and that part of your comment was meant to stand, could you please revert or let me know? The closure was just to limit the same thing being discussed in 2 locations so there's no issue with clarifying a comment you previously made - but there would be an issue if your comments are being clarified in a fashion that you did not intend. Ncmvocalist (talk) 21:46, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Ncmvocalist you are sturring as is you habit. Go with the obvious, there is a good little boy. Ceoil (talk) 21:55, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Ignoring your bad faith assumptions and incivility, perhaps you have difficulty understanding basic talk page guidelines Ceoil - do not edit others comments. Were you given permission to do so or not? Ncmvocalist (talk) 22:05, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Both ye guys miss the point. But like, I have had worse from better. Ncmvocalist you are a wonk -talk page guidelines - he warned me and near blodked me for percieved slights. Wake the fuck up from your process haze. Ceoil (talk)

Unlike Dougweller, I will not strike my final warning to you; do not edit others comments without their permission, even if you disagree with what is said, and do not make any further uncivil edits, be it personal attacks or bad faith assumptions like you have done on this page. I'm aware of the misunderstanding about your rv edit summaries and didn't think it was an issue. However, that misunderstanding does not justify the type of commentary that you have made on this page. Ncmvocalist (talk) 22:25, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Good man, you are following the rules. And not thinking. Youll be an admin some day, Ncmvocalist, dont give up hope. Ceoil (talk) 22:29, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Ceoil clearly needs to try and learn to WP:FOC. --dab (��) 22:31, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

What content? Look at who I am fighting with. Or do you mean substance, but dont know how to say that and point instead to blue linked policies. No substance here, its all about apperance, rules and the veneer of civility. Ceoil (talk) 22:59, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Ncmvocalist has move to AN/I. Your considered openion would be appreciated. You too, Dbachmann as you are so full of commentry and free with words. I'd be trilled to hear from you. Ceoil (talk) 23:50, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

It's closed. I was, by the way, going to apologise for templating a regular, but you told me to get lost. You've got no business striking other people's comments and as a regular you must know that. You got off lightly at ANI because this discussion and your talk page comments weren't mentioned. Dougweller (talk) 05:25, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

And you did not strike my comment after I said I was going to bed, you struck it over an hour before that. Dougweller (talk) 05:37, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Added: "Since the stele recounts the victory of an Aramean king over a "king of Israel" [81] the translation of "BYTDWD" as "House of David" is not illogical." BHhunter (talk) 20:27, 31 May 2010 (UTC) BHhunter

Re: Ambrosius Aurelianus

Hmm. I don't know what to say about this article, seeing how I wrote what is, in essence, its present shape back in 2002 &, except for some edits in 2004 -- & adding a much-needed source a few weeks ago -- I haven't touched it since. I'm not sure what to say about my early attempt to follow NPOV in the article -- which is possibly why it reads like a personal essay -- & I'm not sure that I could properly rewrite it to better fit current Wikipedia expectations. (Sometimes I feel too protective about my contributions.) As for the fact you don't have time to get to it -- no problem: except for the section on "Ambrosius in fiction", no one has made any significant changes to it in the last 8 years -- which disappoints me, but life goes on -- so I guess there is no hurry to fix it. (PS, I hope I don't sound sarcastic or bitter here; that's not my intent. I'm simply puzzled, & a little sad, over yet another of my articles surviving from 2002/2003 almost exactly as I had written it, & would have done more about it than my one recent edit had I the time & inclination to do so.) -- llywrch (talk) 05:25, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Apologies if I seemed critical. 8 years is a long time in terms of changes here in expectations, and I think all of us who can write good essays probably started off using the same style as our essays. I can understand disappointment in the lack of attention to it. Hopefully sometime this summer I can bring a fresh eye to it, once I have my books, etc to hand. Dougweller (talk) 05:51, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

No you didn't sound critical... Well, OK, I'd be happier if the "personal essay" tag were replaced with another one that conveyed the same idea that "this article needs a lot of work", but I'm not going to expect anything to be changed. My response was based more on bafflement over an article I really hadn't concerned myself about in a long while (I'd be much happier if I were to simply get any one of a dozen articles on Ethiopian history written that I've been putting off doing) & I wouldn't have my feelings hurt if it were thoroughly re-written -- as long as it was a clear improvement. (For example, that's what Mike Christie did with Aelle of Sussex, & he ended up creating a Featured Article out of it.) And after reviewing what I wrote, I was honestly worried that I might inadvertently come across as "sarcastic or bitter". No sense creating ill feelings accidentally; I do enough of that intentionally. :) -- llywrch (talk) 06:38, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Posting Again Because you did not answer- Columbus

Dougweller, for years a few of us have been trying to add factual information to the pages relating to Christopher Columbus so that readers can benefit from their reading of Wikipedia. For years you and your cronies have been removing our edits and reverting the pages back to an inaccurate representation of the facts. Lately I added information gathered from several authoritative historians (names and references were included) that is not new nor contested yet you keep removing this information saying it is my point of view which it is not. What can I and the other members of the Association Cristovao Colon need to do to add information to these pages without having it deleted every time? I would like to think that your job is to make sure the information added is credible and not to be targeting specific pages and specific individuals. Honestly I don't have time to keep going back and fixing what you guys keep breaking. Colon-el-Nuevo (talk) 19:51, 21 May 2010 (UTC) 71.111.215.249 (talk) 23:16, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
