Page reverted

Hello,

I have searched in vain for the good path to get administrator’s help for the following issue and so I decided to send this request to some including you.

I have considerably expanded the article Guerrilla filmmaking and took care in referencing it as far as I could (over 90 links to trustful sources). I am an experienced editor of Wikipedia. For my surprise, the article was reverted by user CIRT to a preceding stub version mainly consisting of a very narrow list of films. Many important contents were removed. Self promotional vandalism seems to be the reason of such intervention, sustained by acute threats. I do not intend to respond with helpless and inconsequent arguments and the time I have to dedicate to Wikipedia is quite limited.

I’d be happy if you could pay some attention to this occurrence and let you decide whatever you think is reasonable.

Orion's belt

The information I updated is accurate, and factual, and adds to the post, and doesn't harm anyone. I have the documentation to prove it. Please explain in detail why you keep removing it without explanation

The International Star Registry is not authoritative, and any names with that organization have zero encyclopedic value. The International Astronomical Union is the only organization to be internationally recognized to designate stars, planets, asteroids, comets, and other heavenly bodies according to internationally accepted rules. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 06:37, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Please explain yourself

I deserve an explanation as to why you are deleting perfectly accurate, positive, and doccumented facts

Deleting info

First, this is Wikipedia... Not an encyclopedia.... There are MANY, MANY, MANY things on here that would never come close to making it into an encyclopedia. The information I posted was accurate and factual. And it is documented public record, and not harmful to anyone. So please explain what your problem is with having the most accurate information available.

Joshclark82 (talk) 06:46, 19 December 2014 (UTC)joshclark82

@Joshclark82::Already explained. And yes, Wikipedia is an Internet encyclopedia - and we have site policies and guidelines such as WP:RS (reliable sources) which the agency you mention does not meet. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 07:01, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

(edit conflict) (talk page stalker) Please seeWP:NOT, one of the official policies that explains the fundamental error in your reasoning. And please see WP:RS, the official guideline on reliable sources. It's the basis for the previous responses you got here previously. DMacks (talk) 07:02, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

removal of information on Claude's Shannon's son seems frivolous and anti wiki

why would you burned it off topic to talk about the fact that Claude Shannon actually had three children. Do you know anything about Claude Shannon's family? you mentioned his children so obviously you thought it was on topic however you less left out his eldest son Robert. Robert followed in his father's footsteps in the field of computer science. I knew Robert and the family from 1975 until his father got sick. Robert died after his father got sick puppy for his father died. at least write that he had another son. Thankyou — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1004:B11D:BB7D:60D0:9003:E448:2EC1 (talk) 15:54, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

SMS gateway

Hi Barek, can you semi-protect the SMS gateway article? The spammers are back. -KH-1 (talk) 00:41, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

I blocked the IPs adding the link - hopefully that slows or stops the spamming. If they bypass the blocks with additional IPs, let me know and I'll re-protect the article at that point. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 03:32, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. Let's see if that works... -KH-1 (talk) 07:18, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Requesting block for 94.98.228.105.

Hello. Can you please block 94.98.228.105 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) for several? The user vandalizes several unrelated articles by linking them without any source. Most significant that I note are for MetroTV, The Filipino Channel), Spacetoon (Indonesia), and Samanyolu TV. Most probably the Indonesian vandal, although the IP is based in Saudi Arabia. Please action ASAP. Thanks! PS: The user has already been reported to WP:AIV - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 03:56, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

If there's another admin who is familiar with the past pattern of vandalism or already familiar with the subject, you could try pinging them for assistance. I tried looking through the pages mentioned, and there's clear content dispute issues, but I'm not seeing obvious vandalism. Hopefully the AIV report may also draw in admins more familiar with the articles involved. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 04:30, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Jaime Bley is exemplary of humor.

Aloha Barek! my contribution about Jaime Bley on the "Humor" wiki page...was supposed to be funny. that adds to the enhancement of the humor page ;) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.155.72.199 (talk) 01:12, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

You should take your joke posts to another website where they may be more appropriate. Continued such vandalism is likely to result in your account being blocked. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 01:16, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

9gag

I made the changes after I found that they plagiarized my content, and further research revealed that 9gag is a website that plagiarizes the majority of their content. My evidence is, of course, anecdotal and biased, but please ensure that the entry reflects that plagiarism by 9gag isn't an unproven or alleged offense, but a real one with real documentary evidence.
