Hi Graeme. At the end of my tether with a serial vandal on the Adele page. The source in the article states her mother was 20 when Adele was two (Adele was born in 1988 so that would make her mothers birth year circa 1970). A nuisance editor keeps inserting her birth date as 1968 despite there being zero evidence, and is contradicted by the reliable source in the article. This vandal then sent me this link in some bizarre attempt to convince me she was born in 1968... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/music/3473210/The-truth-behind-Adeles-struggle-to-stardom.html ...Adele is 22 in the article, and it states her mother is 40...so as Adele was born in 1988 that would again confirm her mothers birth circa 1970. 1968 is impossible and the vandal has repeatedly ignored this. Need admin assistance on this (and also go through their previous posts where the date is changed). The second issue is the David Bowie page has become unlocked, and given the huge traffic at the minute it is ripe for nuisance ip edits which have since started...so seeking an extension on that page (few weeks perhaps). Thanks for your assistance.[[User:RyanTQuinn|RyanTQuinn]] ([[User talk:RyanTQuinn|talk]]) 20:07, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

:Well I have semi protected, David Bowie again for 10 days. I have undone the change to 1968. But it is not vandalism, just a dispute. [[User:Graeme Bartlett|Graeme Bartlett]] ([[User talk:Graeme Bartlett#top|talk]]) 22:06, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2272909/New-mum-Adele-gives-mother-plush-London-pad-worth-600k.html gives Adele's mother as 44 and was published on 3 Feb 2013, so unless the mother had a birthday very early in the year her birth year would be 1969; if the birth was later then she would be born 1968 - the registration would be correct. I am doubtful if Mark Evans had any part in Adele's childhood and anything he has said on the subject should be taken with a pinch of salt - the facts still stand. I have posted birth and marriage registration details to RyanTQuinn's talk page - I can now see the information has already been posted elsewhere - http://ethnicelebs.com/adele [User:The Data Junkie|The Data Junkie]]

This is a notice to say that I have created an [Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Doraemon media|AFD]] for this article you have restored. While I have no reason to criticise your handling of the request for undeletion I believe the full context is missing. The page isn't simply redundant due to the navbox, but the content is actually either present and/or linked from Doraemon and the Media list page simply isn't required anymore. The navbox does serve as as a replacement, but is not the entire reason the page should be deleted. It is cleanup of outdated articles and formats that the Anime and Manga project no longer use as much as it is redundant to the nav box.

This is a courtesy message and a response isn't expected, however if you wish to discuss it, your contributions are welcome.SephyTheThird (talk) 02:49, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Couple of issues

Hi Graeme. At the end of my tether with a serial vandal on the Adele page. The source in the article states her mother was 20 when Adele was two (Adele was born in 1988 so that would make her mothers birth year circa 1970). A nuisance editor keeps inserting her birth date as 1968 despite there being zero evidence, and is contradicted by the reliable source in the article. This vandal then sent me this link in some bizarre attempt to convince me she was born in 1968... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/music/3473210/The-truth-behind-Adeles-struggle-to-stardom.html ...Adele is 22 in the article, and it states her mother is 40...so as Adele was born in 1988 that would again confirm her mothers birth circa 1970. 1968 is impossible and the vandal has repeatedly ignored this. Need admin assistance on this (and also go through their previous posts where the date is changed). The second issue is the David Bowie page has become unlocked, and given the huge traffic at the minute it is ripe for nuisance ip edits which have since started...so seeking an extension on that page (few weeks perhaps). Thanks for your assistance.RyanTQuinn (talk) 20:07, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
