Talk:David Ogden Stiers

According to latest post (December 2013), without source published not in 2009, there is no "clear consensus to include". Why re-including it and disregarding past posts? --George Ho (talk) 19:10, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Found the dead source (highlight the article first; color's white). George Ho (talk) 19:34, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Nevermind the first post; I've started the RFC talk. --George Ho (talk) 19:52, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

I am on the limbo here. I tried rewording the passage, but I still received concerns from others. Perhaps your comments will be appreciated as much helpful it should be. --George Ho (talk) 22:01, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

I'd suggest asking at the Wikipedia:WikiProject_LGBT_studies, who are pretty good at the sourcing of whether someone's out or not. GedUK  12:25, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

I've notified the Project. I'm still awaiting your comments if you want to comment. George Ho (talk) 04:10, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Similar content was added by autoconfirmed user; then the content was removed again. If PC2 is too arbitrary, I'm unsure about how semi-protection can reduce edits by autoconfirmed users. --George Ho (talk) 21:12, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Unless I've missed something, PC2 still isn't agreed, and I don't see the need for it on this article. PC1 seems to be working quite well. It might be worth adding a hidden note adivsing users not to add sourced from the Mail. GedUK  12:07, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

There have been several reverts lately. Expand PC-protection time? --George Ho (talk) 18:55, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Are you saying to extend the duration of the protection, or the scope (ie PC2). Time extension is probably, scope expansion isn't. GedUK  12:17, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Time expansion actually. Recently, instead of BLP-violating, there are vandals blanking some content. George Ho (talk) 05:44, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Sam Sailor

Hi, Ged. Sam Sailor and Lute Heil Hitler request that USS Cossack and HMS Cossack be renamed in "Galichina SS division Cossack" in the article "Jewish Cossacks". They delete most authoritative sources in their nonsense edition to prove their nonsense. Any "Cossack" units of Hitler, who, in their opinion, was the best and the only friend of Jews during the WWII, had been intended to fight against the western allies only and not against any Communists. There are many documents signed by Adolf Hitler to use these units against the western allies and pro-western guerillas only. There was a small number of real Cossacks in these units. "Galichina SS division cossacks" have nothing common with Cossacks at all. They were not the descendants of "the only Cossack branch recruiting Jews". Real Cossacks had nothing common with SS. Zaporozhian Cossacks, which recruited Jews similar to other Cossack branches, live in the Kuban region of Russia now and have never served in any SS division and have never applied to the US Navy and to the UK Navy to rename USS Cossack and HMS Cossack into USS Galichina SS division Cossack. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.66.199.180 (talk) 11:42, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Ged, I believe that Lute88 will agree that the above IP is quite obviously MVanova not logging in. I would like to continue to AGF, but I fear this is not just a case of a Russian editor whos English is hard to understand. Quite contrary, his English is fully understandable, but what he writes, in the article as well as on talk gapes, makes often very little sense, and sometimes no sense at all. One example here is that he now talks about an unspecified USS Cossack and HMS Cossack that Lute88 and I should have requested be renamed, but there has never been any talk about these vessels, and I very much doubt they have anything to do with Jewish Cossacks apart from the Cossack bit. The rest of what he writes here is, may I be frank, just as lunatically fragmented as some of his ramblings on Talk:Jewish Cossacks. If you have a better approach than WP:DENY, do tell me. Best, Sam Sailor ^Sing 19:45, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

I have a nagging suspicion that MVanova is a gal. What she writes is undecipherable, especially "Orthodox Catholics" or whatever. What I could figure out with some diffilculty is that she conflates 7th Day Adventists with Jews. Yikes.... She also erroneously assumes that 88 in my handle stands for HH i.e. Heil Hitler. Apparently that is a self-identifier code among russian neonazis.--Lute88 (talk) 23:41, 26 January 2014 (UTC)23:40, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

I honestly can't work out what the IP above is a) trying to tell me and b) what they want/expect me to do. Yes, I can't see a rename request anywhere related to those ships, and certainly not that either of youo have made. For me there's nothing to act on at this point, and DENY for you seems a sensible route to take at the moment. GedUK  12:13, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, Ged. Best, Sam Sailor ^Sing 15:51, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks from me as well.--Lute88 (talk) 23:34, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

The falsified content protected by Sam Sailor and Lute88 is an anti-American and anti-British one. "Ukrainian "Jewish" Cossacks" assassinated a lot of US and British soldiers during WWII. They swore allegiance to Adolf Hitler. Lute88 is an international abbreviation for Heil Hitler. There is no difference among bad Russian national socialists and good, in Lute88's and Sam Sailor's opinion, Ukrainian national socialists. Similar to Tzarnayev brothers, they are good in a jail only. If any of them will try either to attack USS Cossack or to help any other Tzarnayevs to attack her, because she is not called after "Ukrainian Jewish Cossack untersharfuhrer Roman Shukhevich" they will be delivered to a US jail for sure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.66.249.138 (talk) 11:50, 28 January 2014 (UTC) Dear GedUK. Please note, that the 17th century Cossacks have never been any Lutherans. Orthodox Catholic churches have never called themselves "Ethiopian", "Eritrean', "Nestorian", "Syrian", "Coptic" etc. as Lute88 insists. They have never considered Adolf Hitler as the part of the Holy Trinity similar to Lute88. Moreover, the 17th century Cossacks might not imagine that they would be called Ukrainian ones. They called themselves Russian Orthodox Catholics ("руськие греческой веры") and had never called themselves Orthodox Christians. Only Poles, Turks, Armenians, Greeks, Africans were called Ukranians in the 17th century, later Russian Old Believers and other people from the Greater Russia were called Ukrainians as well. This is why the first Ukrainian President Vinnichenko emphasized in 1918, that "the vast majority of our Ukrainian people have never been able to imagine that they are Ukrainians". This is why there were no difference between Ukrainian Cossacks and Russian Cossacks. The difference had never been present in time when HMS Cossack and USS Cossack appeared in the British Navy and in the US Navy as well. Please note that Lute88 being a woman writes on behalf of a male US Ukrainian of Jewish origin playing Ukrainian music on board of US ships to make the US Navy prohibit his professional activities. There is no other reason for falsifications of Lute88 and Sam Sailor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.66.207.139 (talk) 11:27, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Declined G13

Message received on User talk:HasteurBot. I can't help it if there's 8~9 hours between when the page gets nominated and a admin gets around to doing it. Please remove the talk page message as you didn't follow the instructions for the page (Direct it to User talk:Hasteur) and I can't remove the message myself because the page is fully protected for good reason. Hasteur (talk) 13:51, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Done. I'm not blaming you or the bot because someone else edited it after the tagging, that's the admin's job to check. Sorry about the bot talk page, it was all done by the script and I didn't think to check. If I decline a HB in future, I'll try to remember not to template the bot.

SMART criteria

Page has been vandalized, although edits infrequent. Extend protection time? --George Ho (talk) 03:38, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Probably, but it doesn't expire till the 10th. Ask me nearer the time. GedUK  16:03, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
