== Iraq WMD Inspections, November 2002 ==

Hi TGeairn,
I posted a proposed addition to your page (copied below) and it was kicked-back as not verifiable or opinion-based. I was wondering what type of reference material would suffice? For instance, press reporting of the number of troops in Kuwait in Oct-Nov 2002? The biggest problem I see with wikipedia is that if you have to rely on what someone else has said or written, then you will at times miss new perspectives and historic realities. I'm not sure that I will find a reference document stating the below is true, but I think intuitively, most every non-partisan observer would agree with the comment. And, it provides valuable context...Saddam never would have allowed inspectors back on the ground without the imminent threat of military force. He hadn't since 1998 and there's no logical reason to believe that he would have in 2002...it was all about military pressure. Warm regards, Fred Smith / Fred.lyn

However, UN inspectors were only permitted to re-enter Iraq by Saddam in November 2002 due to the presence of several hundred thousand predominantly US and UK military troops, positioning in Kuwait near the Iraq border since the summer of 2002, preparing for non-compliance and a potential invasion. A strong case can be made that Saddam Hussein only complied with UN inspections, albeit in a limited manner, during this period due to the coercive effect of a large military presence on his border. Once removed, it is almost certain that Saddam's cooperation with future UN inspections would have ended.

HOT T.V.

I removed your speedy delete template on HOT T.V. as another editor has added most of the content to the article. If you feel that it should be db-a7ed, please feel free to restore the tag without notifying me. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 19:04, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I replaced is text with a redirect to HOT T.V. and told him to follow wp:moving articles See if he follows it. Happy editing! Jim1138 (talk) 19:12, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! That looks like what he was after (article move). Enjoy! --Tgeairn (talk) 19:13, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for deleting "Bad Acid Comix" None of the comix or publishers, listed in the article, ever existed. - Zonker 74.67.174.153 (talk) 19:22, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Editorial judgment

In an article that we have worked together on recently, I have come across a source that notes the subject's mother took her own life when he was a boy. I'm reluctant to be that specific, particularly given the subject's involvement with the article. Seem OK to you? If you have no idea of what I'm talking about, let me know. Location (talk) 19:24, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, unless there's a reason related to the subject's notability to include then it doesn't seem necessary. I agree with leaving out. --Tgeairn (talk) 19:32, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hehe thank you

That was just an amusing attack against me. "All who disagrees with my vandalism must be deported to Pakistan!" I didn't take offense to it though. I appreciate the revert. ViriiK (talk) 01:57, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lifetime Benefits Trust (LBT)

Hi, i noticed you deleted the page i created because it didn't have a reference. I got the information form a text book. Can I just input the name of the text as a reference or do I have to photocopy it and put it online - i was just concerned about copyright infringement that's why i didn't do that. Let me know. thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by ShannonAndrea (talkcontribs) 01:38, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! No, the reference does not need to be available online. I added a welcome message to your talk page with some helpful links to placing references. Please check those out, and let me know if you still have any questions. To jump in quickly, see the guide to citing sources. It can look a little overwhelming at first, but you'll be citing like a pro in no time. Thanks for asking, and don't hesitate to ask me or others for help when you need it! --Tgeairn (talk) 01:43, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Registered Retirement Savings Plan Rollover

Hi, i noticed you proposed to delete the page Registered Retirement Savings Plan Rollover. Could you please do so? I realized it makes more sense to put the content in the Registered Retirement Savings Plan page, but i don't know how to delete pages. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by ShannonAndrea (talkcontribs) 01:46, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Recent Invader Zim revert

Hi Tgeairn, an IP user 80.5.68.176 recently made a good-faith edit at Invader_Zim, which you reverted because their source was a Tumblr account for the "official" letter-writing campaign to bring back the Invader Zim cartoon. The user has taken their question to the Talk Page. I attempted to answer the question as best I could, but I was also wondering if you'd be willing to help guide them, since the user genuinely seems interested in understanding. Thanks!

The Tea Leaf - Issue Five

Stop by for a tasty glass of wiki-iced tea at the Teahouse, today!

Hi! Welcome to the fifth edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!

  • Guest activity increased in July. Questions are up from an average of 36 per week in June to 43 per week in July, and guest profile creation has also increased. This is likely a result of the automatic invite experiments we started near the end of month, which seeks to lessen the burden on hosts and other volunteers who manually invite editors. During the last week of July, questions doubled in the Teahouse! (But don't let that deter you from inviting editors to the Teahouse, please, there are still lots of new editors who haven't found Teahouse yet.)
  • More Teahouse hosts than ever. We had 12 new hosts sign up to participate at the Teahouse! We now have 35 hosts volunteering at the Teahouse. Feel free to stop by and see them all here.
  • Phase two update: Host sprint. In August, the Teahouse team plans to improve the host experience by developing a simpler new-host creation process, a better way of surfacing active hosts, and a host lounge renovation. Take a look at the plan and weigh in here.
  • New Teahouse guest barnstar is awarded to first recipient: Charlie Inks. Using the Teahouse barnstar designed by Heatherawalls, hosts hajatvrc and Ryan Vesey created the new Teahouse Guest Barnstar. The first recipient is Charlie Inks, for her boldness in asking questions at the Teahouse. Check out the award in action here.
  • Teahouse was a hot topic at Wikimania! The Teahouse was a hot topic at Wikimania this past month, where editor retention and interface design was heavily discussed. Sarah and Jonathan presented the Teahouse during the Wikimedia Fellowships panel. Slides can be viewed here. A lunch was also held at Wikimania for Teahouse hosts.

As always, thanks for supporting the Teahouse project! Stop by and visit us today!

Cedar Creek/Belle Grove

I've moved the title back to the stable version. I have a strong suspicion that the accounts involved in the move war are either closely related or the same person: both were created at the same time and have parallel editing histories. I note that both made a rapid series of edits to become autoconfirmed. Under those circumstances I will take administrative action against the parties if warranted: this isn't a genuine content dispute in my opinion. Acroterion (talk) 02:33, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for putting things back in order. I had the same thought about the editors involved, and this has happened frequently in the past few days that older accounts suddenly move to autoconfirmed and then behave in a manner inconsistent with forwarding the project. Have a good one! --Tgeairn (talk) 06:54, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop reverting appropriate edits

Hello,

Today you reverted an edit I made to the Zynga page regarding their stock price stating: "This is your last warning. You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Zynga. Tgeairn (talk) 23:55, 11 August 2012 (UTC)" The edit I made was valid and appropriate. Please follow Wikipedia guidelines and refrain from being a disruptive editor. Truthbetold73 (talk) 00:15, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Your edit listed a stock price for Zynga for 13 August 2012. As today is either 11 August or 12 August depending on your time zone, I reverted your edit as a factual error and issued a final warning. I also assumed good faith and verified that neither the Friday close price nor the after-hours trading matched your given information. Please do not continue to disrupt Wikipedia and begin to focus on constructive edits that add to or improve the project. Thanks, and Happy Editing! --Tgeairn (talk) 00:20, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see now. The date was supposed to be Aug 3, not 13. I will make that edit now. Since we both assumed good faith please retract your warning. Thank you Truthbetold73 (talk) 00:27, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Makes sense... I didn't think to check the 3rd (I even checked July 13!). Removed the warning. Thanks for getting it worked out here. --Tgeairn (talk) 00:31, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

First off, I'd like to know why I wasn't notified of the edit war report you made? I believe it's a rule to notify people. Second, if you payed attention to my edits you would see they're not blind reverts, almost every single one of them is different, including alterations and compromises in an attempt to fix the "faults" the other user found with the previous version of the page. There's a couple blind reverts in there, but the majority of them all include a compromise, which can be seen by viewing the changes from edit to edit. Fry1989 eh? 23:32, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for asking. I just responded at WP:ANEW. To be clear, I did not make the EW report. I only included the material that was missing from the original report (which only listed the page and editors involved). I thought you had been notified, and I was mistaken in that belief. I apologize. As for the actual edits, I included some of yours which were not you reverting but rather were edits you made that were reverted by the other involved editor. Since both of you were listed in the same report, I was attempting to show both sides in the report. I agree that it looks like you have been trying to reach a compromise. --Tgeairn (talk) 23:36, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I didn't see you reply there for a while, that's why I posed here. Fry1989 eh? 23:38, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, it took me a while to respond. --Tgeairn (talk) 23:39, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Your name was selected at random from Feedback Request Service as an editor that may be willing to comment on RfCs. There is an RfC about the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard that could use some input, if you are so inclined. Cheers. --Noleander (talk) 19:33, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

syobon action page

it doesnt need to be deleted, its just that a user vandalized it like crazy. look in the history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.187.191.151 (talk) 22:48, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have rolled the page back to where it was a few days ago. Please take the time to provide reliable sources for the article though. I will likely propose its deletion in a community discussion in it's current form. Thanks for pointing out the history though, hopefully you and other editors can find sources and get the article up to Wikipedia standards. --Tgeairn (talk) 22:55, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

MARIAN RICHERO

You're welcome, and I disagreed with the reason for speedying it in the past, so I wasn't at all interested in speedying it now. I didn't feel like taking it to AFD because it's not something that really interests me, but I readily voted in the AFD that someone else created. Nyttend (talk) 01:32, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

i dont know how to talk to you on this, so i will try this way. I honestly dont care what you edit i did it to make a point i know its your job to re-edit what people change. Im not mad at you im mad at the lies people put up here sometimes — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.167.229.213 (talk) 06:35, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I think? It can be easy to get upset when you find information in an article that is either inaccurate or appears to you to be inaccurate. As an encyclopedia, we contrain ourselves to material that is verifiable in reliable sources. If/when you come accross information that is inaccurate, go ahead and be bold and change it - IF you have and provide a reliable source for the new information. If you have a question about an article's content, discuss it on the article talk page. Thanks for your comments, but please don't continue to make disruptive edits. Cheers! --Tgeairn (talk) 06:41, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
