My Talk Page This is the talk page of Eagle_101. I now have a linux distro installed!I respond to all comments here, as it becomes difficult to keep up with the volume otherwise; if I believe immediate notice is necessary, I may copy the response to your talk page. I am an admin on both the english wikipedia (here) and on the meta wiki. Be sure your request belongs here; most routine requests dealing with permissions (admin, bureaucrat, checkuser stuff) should go to a noticeboard rather than an individual talk page. Disputes between editors, especially content disputes, belong in formal dispute resolution, not here; if you raise them here, I'm just going to say "I don't get involved" and send you to dispute resolution, so save time and head there now. I archive obsessively, often several times a day; if you do not see a comment you left here, it has probably been archived, please look in my archives. Users are welcome to bring archived discussions back if they have additional comments. If you left a comment and didn't get a response from me, ninety-nine times out of one hundred, I was busy and forgot to answer; poke me, and I'll be sure to do it. However, if you left a comment that you expected would elicit an angry response, and instead received no response, then I probably didn't forget, I just didn't respond. I reserve the right to archive personal attacks, incivility, or canvassing separately and immediately. Severe instances may simply be deleted. Others are encouraged to help out and respond to posts here. Plenty of angry and clueless posts find their way here, and to my email; in the vast majority, I find that the writer has misunderstood some difficult aspect of Wikipedia. Though I may seem to have everything under control, I appreciate having others help out and back me up. I am a VandalProof moderator. If you have problems with VandalProof, please ask. If you came here because I removed a link that you posted onto Wikipedia. Please read and understand this first.

RFPP - template

I noticed you recently fielded some request for protection at WP:RFPP, can you please use the templates as described at Template:RFPP this enables the bot to archive off older requests. thanks Gnangarra 05:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Mmmm yeah I should have used those eh? I'm too used to the meta blacklist where we just use  Done and  Not done. Heh. —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 05:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

www.ronago.net in the spam list

Hi Eagle, I'm Matteo from Italy, recently I add ronago.net (ronago is my village) on the wikipedia, but now I find it in the black list. why? my e-mail address is info@ronago.net.

Thanks TEo —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.104.56.229 (talk) 23:01, 22 February 2007 (UTC).

The reason why its on the blacklist is because someone using your IP address decieded to spam it across multiple wikis. See this for more detials. If you want to contest my blacklisting please do so on the blacklist talk page, at the bottom of this section. Regards —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 00:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

NPW & Templates

Hi,

I think you probably can help me this time too.

I've done a template to warn users that their application for NPW has been processed. Unfortunately, the template isn't working :-(. I'm sure I did something wrong, but I don't know were... Can you take a look? It's here.

Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk)_CON^COI on 13:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank to Beetstra and FrancoGG work, the template is now working. Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk)_CON^COI on 09:27, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

#WDM

Hi again,

May I ask you why official WikiDiscussion Manager channel is set to invite only?

Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk)_CON^COI on 10:31, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

BTW, WDM isn't working for me. Even if in the bottom frame I appeared as logged in, in the bottom left corner it says "Not Logged In". Nothing is listed in the above frame. Also, even if you surely already know, WDM is pointing at User:Eagle 101/WikiDiscusion Manager and not at User:Eagle 101/WikiDiscussion Manager. I'll fix it with a redirect, while waiting for a new version. Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk)_CON^COI on 10:44, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

The official channel is no-longer used. I've been neglecting that piece of software. If you want to talk to me, go to #wikipedia-spam-t . I can do some updates if there are still people who want to use it ;) Cheers! —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 17:06, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Reguest

Hello Eagle 101,

Hello. I request that you allow me to create a new page for the web site ActioBioscience.org (I have provided the proposed text below). A month ago I had created a page for ActionBioscience.org but you removed it on the 18th of January for being too commercial in tone and not in the encyclopedia style that Wikipedia requires. The situation was probably more complex because as a new user I added too many external links. I have stopped adding external links. I have also taken the time to read lots of sample pages and Wikipedia guidelines. If the new writeup about ActionBioscience.org meets with your approval, please be so kind as to remove ActionBioscience.org from the blacklist so that I can create the page. I appreciate any help you can give me so that I can post the new page. Thank you for considering my request.

The new writeup that I propose is: ActionBioscience.org is an educational web site of the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS). The site's goal is to promote literacy in the biosciences by offering resources for the science curious, such as articles, interviews, postings in Spanish, "learn more" and "get involved" links as well as resources for the classroom, such as ready-to-go lessons and correlation charts to match the site's material to National Science Education Standards. Access is free and no login is required.

ActionBioscience.org is about topical issues in the biosciences, such as cloning, stem cell research, global warming, genetically modified food, and species extinction – issues that affect people's lives today. These issues are organized into seven challenges facing society: biodiversity, environment, genomics, biotechnology, evolution, new frontiers (cutting-edge breakthroughs), and science education. All articles are peer-reviewed, i.e., reviewed by other, independent scientists or educators for accuracy, before they are posted online. Authors include Edward O. Wilson, Niles Eldredge, Rita Colwell, Mark Plotkin, Norman Borlaug, Margaret Lowman, Fred Hoyle, and Donald Johanson. Scientific American, the oldest continuously published magazine in the U.S., chose the site for its Sci/Tech Web Award for one of the best biology sites in 2003. The National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) has officially endorsed ActionBioscience.org . History In 1998, a retired mechanical engineer/industrial products manufacturer who wanted to contribute to the advancement of bioscience education and to conservation biology, allocated his personal funds to create the non-profit, non-partisan corporation, BioScience Productions. The organization had as its sole purpose the promotion of public literacy in the biosciences. ActionBioscience.org was launched in 2000. On, January 1, 2004, ActionBioscience.org was transferred to The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS), a nonprofit 501(c)(3) scientific association headquartered in Washington, D.C. AIBS was founded in 1947 as a part of the National Academy of Sciences and has been an independent organization since the mid-1950s, governed by a Board of Directors elected by its membership.

Astro Pages

I am the owner of Antiquus Astrologia. Please fix what you have edited, thank you. Antiquus 02:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

If you own the site, its poor practice to cite yourself. This is a proper encyclopedia. Please read our guidelines on reliable sources. In addition adding links to sites that you own is discouraged by our external link guidelines. If you think this info is relevant to the article, please post a note on the talk page, and make it clear that you are the owner of the site, and that you have a conflict of interest. Regards. —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 02:44, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

My citations are from books offered on my site written by authors from the 16th century, just because I offer copies of the books I am not allowed to source the page to obtain them?? I have added them so there would be more background information on each of the Signs which I have seen none. Secondly, I sourced my page due to the fact I could not get certain graphics to be placed on the page. I fail to see how there is any conflict of interest in this. Antiquus 02:48, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

The fact is that your site is offering to sell these books, which means that somebody profits. The best way to reference a book is by using the ISBN number, as wikipedia automatically converts that into a list of places to find the book. Remember its a conflict of interest for you to be adding a link to a site that you own. Thanks —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 02:57, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

These Books dont have ISBN numbers because they dont exist anywhere else but from my site, see my talkpage for details. Antiquus 03:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Regarding edits made to User:Eagle 101/Sandbox/5

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Eagle 101! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule apdfasoiweaaspd.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 21:10, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Achieve360Points.com - Link Problems

My name is Jonathan (Monster 2 of 2) from Achieve360Points.com [1] and I am one of the owners of the site. We are an Xbox 360 Achievement and Xbox Live Marketplace website. I can be reached at monster2@achieve360points.com.

It was brought to my attention that a couple of our users thought it would be helpful to add links that point to our Achievement Lists and Marketplace Content on the respected Wikipedia game article. I didn't see a problem with this, as we offer official content for Xbox 360 games that is not provided elsewhere. All of our information is 100% legitimate and we do not put up anything that is rumor or speculation. However, as these users quickly discovered, their edits were being reverted and they were being referred to as "sockpuppets" that put up "spam links." A few of them were banned, or so I have been told. I fully respect a fellow website and the work that goes behind running it. Believe me, I spend countless hours coding and adding content to A360P. However, I can assure you that nothing we do is "spam" and any links pointed towards us can be regarded as useful information. Honestly, anyone that owns or plays any of these games would be missing out on a great deal of necessary information in order to enjoy them to the fullest extent.

We serve out 20,000 unique users daily (currently) and serve out 4+ million pages a month, so we aren't a some personal website or blog. Secondly, all professional websites run advertising as it pays the bills. In addition, we are an official Community Developer, as you can see us listed in the Community 101 Section of Xbox.com:

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/havefun101.htm

We have been mentioned on multiple mainstream websites and in magazines, such as Edge and the Official Xbox Magazine (most recently the March 07 Issue). We recently had an interview with TriXie of Xbox.com, which you can view here:

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/personality/trixie/communityspotlights/20070301-Achieve360Points.htm

Our content for these specific games can change frequently, so it would be impractical to "copy and paste" our information to the Wiki, not to mention the fact that we wouldn't be too happy over our content being lifted and posted elsewhere. We work extremely hard to database the information presented on Achieve360Points.com, as we are sure that you would feel that same way about content on Wikipedia.

Rather than deal with a constant stream of users that vary in importance, I tend to go to the top of the chain when dealing with an issue. You are probably like me and have more work to do than actual time to do it, so I am grateful for any response you can issue. What needs to be said and done in order to get this matter dealt with quickly and efficiently? Also, is there someone else I need to contact to get this over with? Thanks for your time and I look forward to your comments / actions.

Monster 2 of 2 11:48, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in, but I can offer some explanatory information - the user(s) he's referring to are Shadowdude55 (talk · contribs) and XxCAPiTAxX (talk · contribs), who were spamming links to the above site. You can refer to their contribution history and my talk page for background. RJASE1 ^Talk 19:09, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Adam Keller

hello, the page was protected from editing after user RolandR and I have been "warring"^[2]. for some reason, people who cannot read hebrew are trying to protect the article about adam keller from criticism^{removal or criticism category} his political group has recievecd (by cencoring it from wikipedia under various false precursors^{"Removed allegation which doed not appear in source cited"}). one of the more obvious reasons for this, is that RolandR has made himself a friend of real life Adam Keller (via contact with user abu ali) who is an editor here on wikipedia.^[3],[4]

user RolandR has recieved his share of warning about his "mistake" reverts and nonsense edits and chose to ignore them and revert yet again just before you protected the page.

warning issued: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:RolandR#Adam_Keller
previous behaviour of user:
1) help request by user abu ali,2) Israel Shamir edit warring, 3) 24 hr block - removed at the request of user abu ali.

if you need more information on these users for coherancy of my complaint let me know, i will dig it up. Jaakobou 06:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I suggest that you take this through the dispute resolution process, even though I am an admin, I cannot mandate a solution to this matter, the best place to go would be to ask the fine fellows at the mediation cabal to take up this case. Regardless I will say one thing, we must always remember that we need reliable sources, and citations to back up our claims. If I can be of any more assistance in guiding you through the dispute resolution process, please let me know. Thanks, and regards. —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 09:12, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Zorpia.com

Some of the following posts are copied from http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Eagle_101#Zorpia.com since I notice its not updated often there. 219.78.223.174 19:14, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Eagle. I want to ask you specifically about zorpia.com's inclusion in the blacklist. There have been specific allegations that Zorpia is some kind of drug related spam/scam site. In particular I would like to draw your attention to A.B's talk page at 3. Although on the face of it, his comments and links look fair enough, scrutiny reveals an odd methodology. Close inspection of the links given, reveal that they are all search results that start from item 700 onwards.

1) By using the same method, we can find that many reputable web sites (including wikipedia) can be shown to have 'lots of references to drugs'

2) A regular search of 'Zorpia' on Google such as 4 only reveals that it is what it claims to be, a social networking site. How many pages of the Google search do you have to page through to find references to drugs? I got bored trying.

3) With 5 million member pages at Zorpia, Wikipedia is blocking a worldwide resource of potential quotes and links to images.

4) Currently, searching for 'Zorpia' on Wikipedia (en)5, leads the user to links such as this 6 - search result where the number one result is A.B's talk. This means that Wikipedia does a good job of directing people to its own source, which through faulty methodology and assertions/insinuations, makes false claims about a genuine Social Networking Site. I have to stress, that in itself is a serious matter. I have to say, although A.B is obviously not familiar with Zorpia, 5 million other people from around the world (at least) have heard it, and know it to be a genuine site, rather than a drug spamming site.

5) Zorpia has in the past (like many Social Networking Sites) been a victim of drug companies trying to use it as a vehicle to deliver spam. Wikipedia has itself suffered from the same fate (and similar) hence the existence of the blacklist. Wikipedia tries (understandably) to use systems to reduce this and protect its integrity. Zorpia, over several months, has done the same. Primarily, it imposed a daily message limit of 50 messages on its users, virtually making it useless to spammers and scammers. In addition, it employs a full time team to detect and delete accounts associated with these activities.

Having Zorpia on this blacklist, is the equivalent, of Zorpia, MySpace, Friendster, Hi5 etc placing WIKIPEDIA on their own blacklists, because it also has been a vehicle for spamming in the past.

6) Nobody wants to see spam on wikipedia, neither do Zorpia members want to see spam on Zorpia which is spread to wikipedia. However, on this occasion, wikipedia is 'throwing the baby out with the bathwater'. It is going too far to blacklist the whole domain of 'zorpia.com'. I would suggest, that if a link is seen to be referring to drug company etc (e.g www.zorpia.com/drugscam), then that URL be blacklisted, rather than the whole domain. If these types of problems persisted, then I would suggest editors can contact support@zorpia.com.

       I am totally astounded that Zorpia is not included in such a marvellous site as Wikipedia.

I have been a member of Zorpia now for just over a year, and I am so pleased I joined. I have made some WONDERFUL friends in many countries. What on earth is this thing about drugs? If any members are found trying to do deals etc with drugs, porn etc they are kicked out. There are many hepers and supporters on Zorpia doing their best to keep Zorpia clean, and fun and useful. No where else can one intereact in so many many ways and have unlimited storage of photos. I would recomend Zorpia to anyone over 16. It is a fantastic site. Till a 18 months ago I had not known of his site, I was hooked only on to Yahoo groups. Now it is almost the reverse. AND I have in fact just come home off a tour around the world, and met up with some of my wonderful Zorpian (& Yahoo) friends.

I can not believe that Zorpia is even considered to be blacklisted site. I hope that this error will soon be rectified.

After all 5 million members cannot all be wrong. Please see my personal page philcovers

Again I'm writing to you about your Deleting of Zorpia.com from this site Zorpia works endlessly to keep perverts,predators,spam, from its site users actively report them to a place on Zorpia called the ZORPIA REPORTING CENTRE [ There are aso a number of active user groups to fight this problem too ] also im you need further evidence that Zorpia acts on this problem I will quote you some reference case numbers from cases from online reporting site [7] and [8]

VGT please contact Katy MILNE and quote this case reported 27 June 2006 at 11:43:50 CCTM Certificate Number 2006/04/0007

CEOP child Expolitation and Online Protection Centre/ Ref NO CEOP-2006-31 case study Kelly Murray

im sure if you contacted these sites and also Public-OCSET-OMC@afp.gov.au tis is the direct line to report internet predators to the Australian Feds and contact Agent Darryl Hamilton will confirm that in 2006 were working with Zorpia.com on 2 cases Zorpia.com reported to them

These are legitimate law Agencies im sure this this can give you some sufficient Evidence to go on not only does this show that zorpia.com is fighting online predators actively it also shows that Zorpia.com is against online crime Drugs Spamming and Perverts. It would be a very unwise move if Zorpia was doing what you claim them to be doing while also working on this problem

Sounds like a good idea, though I really doubt if a spammer will pay attention ;). This shounds like a weekly task, but you will get a better feel for it just by running the bot a few times, if you do 100 edits in a week, then you might want to make it every 3 days.
