== Kenneth Haney ==

I am fairly new to wikipedia. I can see you are a pro. So, hey, I need some help, please! Smile.
Tell me what needs to be done to make the article relevant. Rev. Haney is the leader of the 2nd largest Pentecostal group in America. Thanks (Seenitall 17:14, 12 November 2007 (UTC))

:Your best bet is to make the article more compliant with guidelines established in [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)]]. [[User:SchuminWeb|SchuminWeb]] ([[User talk:SchuminWeb|Talk]]) 17:17, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

== TorrentFreak.com ==
I feel that my entry TorrentFreak.com was deleted in error. It was nominated for speedy deletion, and I provided several non self-referencing links that showed it's significance. The original admin or proposed the speedy deletion never responded again in the talk page. I believe the article is sufficiently significant to be features. Please get back to me on my talk page. [[User:Richiemcintosh|Richiemcintosh]] 20:24, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

== Ocean liners ==

Hey, I'm cleaning up ship categories, and I noticed that in [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 August 1|this]] old CfD, you said "there were only fourteen four-stackers ever built". The relevant category, [[:Category:Ocean liners with four funnels]], currently contains 16 ship articles, and I rather doubt any of them are new ships! Feel inclined to try to sort out the mystery?

==Ill considered deletion==
You deleted a previous version (by another editor) of an article about [[HD Supply]], a $13 billion dollar company. Please stop and think before hitting the delete button in future. Thank you. [[User:Carina22|Carina22]] 10:35, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
:The article, as then written, clearly fit A7 criteria. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HD_Supply&diff=159589585&oldid=159589405 This] is what I deleted. Your new article is far better. [[User:SchuminWeb|SchuminWeb]] ([[User talk:SchuminWeb|Talk]]) 12:07, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

==Toyota Previa III==
Toyota stopped selling the Toyotas Previa II in Europe last year (2006). There's not been any announcement about NOT importing the Previa III, but then there wouldn't be... And certainly we're used to getting 'new' Toyota models some months after Japan and the US. But it's beginning to look as though they won't bother importing the third generation Previa to Europe. The Ford equivalent, recently introduced, is competitively priced and Volkswagen will come to the market with a new contender in a couple of years: that is likely to squeeze the (no longer rapidly expanding) market in these things both for the weaker existing players (especially Peugeot / Citroen / Fiat / Lancia) and for any Japanese equivalents arriving without a strong story and a hefty slice of advertising spend. However, here in the UK we still drive on the 'wrong' side of the road, as do the Japanese. With the first generation Previa there grew up a massive trade in grey (unofficial) imports of Previas and of the narrower Japanese market versions that get sold off very cheaply in Japan when only two or three years old: in UK that can offer a cheap way to obtain a second hand mpv with plenty of life left in it. These became particularly popular with private taxicab businesses. Given the number that got imported, they must have been profitable for the importers too. I imagine that in another couple of years the same may very well happen with the Previa III in the UK, but not in the rest of Europe simply because the Japanese originating grey imports are set up (steering wheel but also lights) for driving on the left side of the road. Well, you sort of asked, if only in a throw away line...[[User:Charles01|Charles01]] 20:56, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

the stub isn't specific enough? it still needs to be categorized? --[[User:Brewcrewer|Brewcrewer]] ([[User talk:Brewcrewer|talk]]) 08:54, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

:It still needs a "real" category as well as a stub category, because once it's no longer a stub, that stub category goes away. [[User:SchuminWeb|SchuminWeb]] ([[User talk:SchuminWeb|Talk]]) 14:10, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
::But shouldn't that be something that we should worry about later (when the article gets expanded).

== Blockade (disambiguation)‎ ==

Hello there. Why did you remove a blank line in the [[Blockade (disambiguation)]] page? I always place two lines between the disambig tag and the end of the article. I makes it look nicer. I do the same for all the stub tags. -- [[User:Alan Liefting|Alan Liefting]]-<small>[[User_talk:Alan_Liefting|talk]]</small>- 02:42, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

:It should be nice and tight without any extra blank spaces. Only time I ever leave an extra blank is with the stub templates and other templates where without the extra space, they mash up into the bullet points. This template does not do that, therefore we can safely leave that part out. Most dab pages omit the space as well. [[User:SchuminWeb|SchuminWeb]] ([[User talk:SchuminWeb|Talk]]) 04:05, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

::I don't agree that it "should be nice and tight without any extra blank spaces".

== Patricia Stoddard ==

It looks to me like [[Patricia Stoddard]]'s notability was indeed asserted in the article you speedied. Could you merge the history back in, so it doesn't look like I created it from scratch? Thanks.

== [[West Midlands Search and Rescue]] ==

I'd like to restore this and will clean it up. Also, note this wasn't a valid speedy, it does indeed assert its significance per [[WP:CSD]] A7 which states ''No indication of importance/significance. An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, organisation, or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. '''This is distinct from questions of notability''', verifiability and reliability of sources. If controversial, list the article at Articles for deletion instead.''

Being a search and rescue group is quite clearly an indication of '''significance'''. Notability doesn't come into it. I'm not interested in wheel warring, so I hope you will agree. [[User:Hiding|Hiding]] <small>[[User talk:Hiding|Talk]] </small> 13:40, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

:I've restored it, and yeah, wheel-warring no good. I'll be interested to see how you manage to fix it up. [[User:SchuminWeb|SchuminWeb]] ([[User talk:SchuminWeb|Talk]]) 13:43, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
::Meh. The sources I had weren't relevant. A quick library search had turned up a West Midlands Search and Rescue team being sent to help in Turkey, Mozambique and 9/11, but it's not this one. I've cleaned it up, but feel free to do as you will, it's not the one I thought it was at the time of my above message.

== [[Charles Anthony Silvestri]] ==

Wow. Speedy deletion really means speedy. Before I could add a hangon tag, it was gone. Since the page had been speedied once before, I'd already added a comment on the talk page in hopes of buying myself a few minutes. I re-added the page because, after reading [[Eric Whitacre]]'s article, I was curious who Silvestri was. Since he's linked from a couple of significant articles, I think it's at least possible that his presence adds to the database. Can we bring this back so that some discussion and opportunity to expand the article is possible? Thanks. -- <b>[[User:SteinbDJ|SteinbDJ]] · [[User_talk:SteinbDJ|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/SteinbDJ|contributions]]</b> 14:25, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
:What I'd do if I were you, since the processes are working themselves out a bit too fast for you keep up (the process is fine, you're doing your thing, don't worry), would be to create the page in your userspace for now (say, [[User:SteinbDJ/Charles Anthony Silvestri]]), and flesh it out there, and then move it to the article namespace using the move function once you've gotten everything together with references and what have you. No one ought to bother it in your userspace, and then once it's built beyond speedying, then you might want to move it in.

:Well, don't give up the ship. If others are reverting the same vandalism as you, then that means you're on the right track, and doing the right thing. I have the same thing happen to me from time to time. Likewise, as an admin, I've had pages speedied out from under me - people speedy a page while I'm in the process of speedying it.

==Infobox Framingham==
Hello, That info box was a template for a series of articles on the town of Framingham, Ma created so that they would all have an identically formatted info box. The box was created in accordance with the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (infoboxes)]] and [[Wikipedia:Infoboxes]], so it was fully within the guidelines of Wikipedia. I went to edit the main article to insert the new template, realized the error in naming of the template, went to rename it and found you had deleted it. The template was not even up for a minute. Why didn't you look at the history, maybe asking me why I had created it before you deleted it? That would have been a little better than what you did.

== Emogame ==

I came here looking for information about the creator of Emogame and was surprised to see there was no entry. I started to create one and saw that two previous entries had been deleted, most recently by you. Given that you've devoted extensive space to commercially distributed games of very little consequence, I don't understand your rationale for excluding flash games as reknown as Emogame. The Anti-Bush Emogame was referenced in numerous publications. The soundtrack for the next Emogame will be commercially distributed by a major label. The game creates a compelling universe, effectively satirizes the platform game format and incorporates countless elements from popular culture. It's as deserving of inclusion as most of the movie, tv show, music and comic book entries here, and certainly as deserving as *any* entry for a TV commercial.

== Apology for Vandalism ==

Hello, this is Bmrbarre. My brother has just recently vandalized your page under my name, and I would like to apologize for his extremely rude actions. It seems that he made an account, User:Dikfore, and edited an image and place it in [[Midge Potts]], which you reverted. He was angry, and used my account to vandalize your userpage. I request a block on User:Dikfore, I'm not sure it will affect my account, but no matter. Please accept my sincerest apologies and his...I detest vandalism, and try to fight it at all times. It's what brings Wikipedia down in the eyes of the world, and I would love to see Wikipedia vandal free. Again, I apologize, especially if you have been offended: If so, please don't let it trouble you, just write it off as the ravings of an angry 12 year old boy. My password has been changed, hopefully nothing like this will happen again. <font color="#008080">[[User:Bmrbarre|Ben]]</font><font color="#008000">[[User talk:Bmrbarre|ja]]</font><font color="#000080">[[Special:Contributions/Bmrbarre|min]]</font> 03:07, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

:Apology accepted, and thank you for letting me know what's going on. I'm not offended. If you look at the page history, you'll see I've semi-protected for varying periods on a number of occasions, all for similarly childish edits. It's an annoyance, but nothing that will offend, since it's lost its kick.

:As for blocking, I can't block [[User:Dikfore|Dikfore]] without another vandalism edit from that account. Even though I have no reason to doubt the truthfulness of your request, I can't hand out a block based on someone else's word. They have a "last warning" message on their talk page, so the next vandalism edit gets the block. However, we still have to let them "fall into the trap", so to speak, before we can block them. So that's how I see it. [[User:SchuminWeb|SchuminWeb]] ([[User talk:SchuminWeb|Talk]]) 03:29, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

::Yes, it does seem that you've taken your fair share of vandalism. Personally, I've only had 2, but that's been enough for me, and the first time I was shocked that people would actually be that cruel. I don't think you have to worry about him making another edit: I've made it quite clear to him that he is ''not'' to make any more edits from that account, or any other for that matter. Vandalism is, as you say, childish, and it only leaves a mess that someone else must clean up.

==non native student work on wikipedia==
Hi. I'd like to discuss an issue that has arisen with the work of a student of mine. Below is the message I posted to the two admins, but they seem to have been following your initial deletion of [[User:Satoe2158]]. At the end of class, we added a hangon tag and a smaller excerpt that was changed to indicate the target subject as your note suggested, but [[User:Dlohcierekim]] claimed that hangon tags are not permitted on user talkpage.
====message posted to two admins====
I'd like to discuss the multiple deletions of my student's work (Satoe2158) in her user page. I am teaching students for whom English is a second language, so am asking them to use their user space to construct their articles which will then be moved to the namespace. The first deletion was by [[User:hmwith]] and occurred approximately 20 minutes after she had copied a portion of the [[Uzbekistan-Japan_Center]], while she was still logged in.

The second deletion by [[User:Dlohcierekim]] occurred after a smaller section had been inserted and the inital process of converting the explanation so as to provide a template for an appropriate article, which was done at the end of class to give the student some basis to complete the first steps of the assignment. There was no warnings or discussion for the [[Uzbekistan-Japan_Center]], so it certainly appears to be an appropriate model, but if there are problems, they should be addressed in the authentic namespace and not going into a student's personal user page. I appreciate the problems with spamming and vandalism, but for constructing an article and having it proofread by a native speaker, the sandbox is not a feasible alternative. Furthermore, [http://www3.kumagaku.ac.jp/minamata/ the Minamata Open Center] is an non-profit academic center, established by the Japanese Ministry of Education, to research Minamata disease, so I believe that it fulfills the requirements of inclusion in the wikipedia.

Please advise if there is an alternative process to this, the other students who are working with wikipedia are utilizing the same process and do not seem to be having the same scrutiny applied.
[[User:Tomeiter|Tomeiter]] 08:01, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I'd also note that in the [[Speedy_deletion]] section it specifically notes that

Testing is permitted in the sandbox and '''in users' own user space'''. If this is not official Wikipedia policy, please let me know.
====end of message====

I am only appending this message because your user page indicated that you are a member of the welcoming committee. I am committed to teaching my student how to not only use, but participate in the wikipedia, so your help in clearing up policy in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to take any discussion to my user page

== Vandalism? ==

Hello

I am writing regarding a message I recieved this morning regarding "vandalism" of the Wikipedia page- "Arson".
I would like to express my disagreement which this act was labelled.

What I did was remove a piece from a page relating to Nick Glegg, the recently elected Liberal Democrat leader in the UK. He, when he was young, was involved in an act of minor arson.
Having his picture on the page and naming him a "convicted arsonist" was nothing more than a cheap stab by people who do not support him in order to make him look bad. He is totally irrelevant to be included on that particular page. It serves absolutely nothing to explain the term arson or to give an appropriate example to arson, there are many more prolific arson attacks/attackers which have been committed which would better serve as examples. Thus, it was the right thing to do, to delete the part of the page with him on it. Having it called vandalism is shocking and grossly inaccurate.

I would like to think that wikipedia is not a forum for political fights? <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/86.138.169.42|86.138.169.42]] ([[User talk:86.138.169.42|talk]]) 08:17, 19 December 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== dablink in [[Montgomery County, Maryland]] ==

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that Maryland's is now the only Montgomery County that does not have the dablink, out of 18. The reason I added these is that [[Montgomery County]] used to redirect to [[Montgomery County, Texas]], which seemed a little too ''random'' to suit me. I agree with you that the dab is rather obvious, but shouldn't we make them consistent? Thanks, <i>[[User:Jerry|JERRY]]</i> <sup>[[User Talk:Jerry|talk]]</sup> <sub>[[Special:Contributions/Jerry|contribs]]</sub> 20:19, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

:Well, the thing is, none of those other Montgomery Counties have any links pointing to them that would be ambiguous, and the titles are all fairly non-ambiguous. With the [[Montgomery County]] title now pointing to [[Montgomery County (disambiguation)]], this eliminates the need to have all those little dab links at the top of eighteen different articles, since the only potentially ambiguous title points to the disambiguation page.

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Mauretania-2-6.gif]]'''. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{Tl|GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the [[GFDL]].

I wish to thank you for the advice and the assistance... though now that we've exchanged words he may start thinking of you as a puppet as well. I am sorry I ever mentioned my problems with this person to anyone... as I strongly suspect that a few associates and/or neighbors from my apartment complex are now on Wiki and giving him a rasher of shit... though they aren't admitting it to me. They came on to support me and now I'm accused of being a puppeteer... sheesh. I'm sure he's gonna love it when checkuser shows these users all originated from my apartment's local IP network. The positive of all this, despite his being rankled, is that their contributions, although narrow in field (and that is no crime), have all been worthy of Wiki... and his questionable editorial practices have been brought to light.

== ANSWER page ==
Just a question based on procedure. I logged onto Wikipedia to go see the ANSWER page, and saw that you froze the page for the time being. What now? I am one of many Jewish anti-war activists who works with ANSWER, and can say that the group's anti-Zionist position has absolutely nothing to do with anti-Semitism. In the past, the page at least referenced the ANSWER statements about anti-Semitism. The Coalition has frequently denounced anti-Semitism and frequently has Jewish speakers -- Mr. Lerner's experience notwithstanding. It made my stomach turn to see that the coalition -- full of honest, hard-working activists, who devote their after-work hours to stopping the war -- could somehow be compared to Nazis!!! And this stayed up on the page!! I don't know about the validity of the sources mentioned (they look like pure slander to me), but on the two occasions I've seen anti-Semitic signs at ANSWER rallies (in over a dozen rallies), I've seen ANSWER security forcefully remove them from the protest. Either way, how can the coalition be blamed for these people showing up? For all we know, they could be planted there by pro-war forces.

== Req for Assistance ==

I'm new to Wikipedia. An artist that I know, Marc Awodey, was, in my opinion, being bullied by a user here who calls herself CarolMooreDC. I made an edit to his article that was intended to better contextualize his position. As a result of what I found I made edits to a related article and what followed was what I thought was a biased exchange. When I saw her Talk about my edits in SVR (Second Vermont Republic) and her comment seemed indicate that she had begun investigating me in some way, I looked briefly into her own background and was disturbed by what I have begun to find. She has also now started making claims about me that I don't think I need to answer. In a way, she behaves prosecutorially, from the point of view of someone new to Wikipedia. Her tone seems intended to discourage participation in Wikipedia by those she may not approve of in some way.

I'd asked in my restoration of my edit in the SVR article that an administrator look into what she is doing in her many edits to secesssion articles. I think it is fair to raise the question since it can be stated that she is not merely pro secession, she is a secession activist. She blogs regularly for the sister organization to SVR, a publication called VTCommons. I'd just googled "Carol Moore" secession, and then Vermont Republic. I also just found that she has edited an article on Kirkpatrick Sale that apparently she has or is being paid to do web work for.

I don't really want to get into the war she seems very inclined to wage over this, but I think someone needs to take a look at the totality of her activities in secession articles. By that I mean, being no expert, I could easily find parts in the SVR article that had no substantiation, like the piece on a flag in a cartoon strip that bolster the public perception/view of SVR, that escaped her attention in her many edits. Yet when I made an edit with much more documentation (a piece about comments made by the Vermont State Archivist) that she construed as having a negative consequence to the SVR article, she focused in on that like a laser beam and deleted it in its entirety.

Thanks for any help or assistance that you may be able to offer. [[User:PeterInVT]]

:I'm kind of hesitant to get involved in matters relating to Carol Moore specifically, mainly because Carol and I are acquaintances off-wiki, and we run in some of the same activism circles. However, you may want to consider going to [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment]] and filing an RFC about the dispute you're having on [[Marc Awodey]]. That would be under the "Request comment on articles" section. This invites previously-uninvolved editors in to give their own opinions on the discussion. Since from what I can tell, you all aren't getting very far on your own, and an article RFC kind of gives everyone a little perspective. [[User:SchuminWeb|SchuminWeb]] ([[User talk:SchuminWeb|Talk]]) 00:38, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. As I said I'm new and appreciate your honesty. It may take me awhile to get farther along on this but that's okay. Moore's aggressiveness and partisanship on behalf of her pet issues is becoming more apparent the more I look at this. I've watched her edits since this began and it appears that she's now engaged in disappearing a controversy that is well documented here in Vermont, both in the press and on many blogs, including the one that she blogs for, VTCommons. Apparently she working on behalf image control for her group. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:PeterInVT|PeterInVT]] ([[User talk:PeterInVT|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PeterInVT|contribs]]) 01:40, 18 January 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Code Pink Neutrality ==
I don't think there is a neutrality dispute at the Code Pink page. The three paragraphs I added are in an appropriately titled criticism section. I could see if they were inserted under history or recent events where one could question the neutrality, but it is, instead, under the criticism section. I advance the idea that criticism is supposed to be critical it is not supposed to be the lightest possible argument opposing something. I also advance to you that the criticisms that I included of Code Pink are the most frequent leveled against the group. To ignore such criticism is to ignore the reality of the criticism that is out there. The disputes of the bias of the article are unfounded because a criticism section is NOT SUPPOSED TO BE NEUTRAL because criticism does not masquerade as anything other than what it is. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:WYATTKOPP|WYATTKOPP]] ([[User talk:WYATTKOPP|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/WYATTKOPP|contribs]]) 03:25, 19 January 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

'''ShuminWeb''', thanks for your help with "Grumpy Bear", I now understand the rules better as I am quite new to Wikipedia. For the record, the whole point, I thought, about "Grumpy Bear", is that he is '''grumpy'''. In the existing picture in [[Care bears]] and the [[List of Care Bears]] he looks remarkably cheerful and I thought the screen capture I found did the character more justice. Anyway I am now duly repentant, I requested [[WP:Speedy delete]] and my grumpy "Grumpy Bear" is no more. --[[User:Frank Ness|Frank Ness]] ([[User talk:Frank Ness#top|talk]]) 21:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
