Check Point page edits

Why are you removing truthful data from the Check Point page? I see similar information on the Cisco, Netscreen and other company pages. Why is Check point being singled out by Wiki? If you want to edit the page, why not remove the inaccuracies instead? Please restore the edits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.226.122 (talk • contribs)

Lobojo attacked me

I did not attack anybody. I was just using a popular expression. Lobojo attacked me when he made fun of my name when he undid my changes! —Preceding unsigned comment added by SeanSokandro (talk • contribs)

while you're making changes to the Under The Mountain page...

Can you also add in the screenshots that I was trying to add in but couldn't?

you can find the location of the screenshots on a version of the page that a bot automatically reversed for some reason.

I think they're very relevant to that page as they give a visual aspect to the description of the series.

Thanks

Never Said That!

I never said you criticised my opinions. I said it was funny that you threw the rulebook in my face regarding my objections toward the rulebook. Go ahead and fucking block me. It just makes you twice as immature. Silence the ones standing up to you.

Note on SBXLII Spaygate Followup

I was putting a new link in on the story, and a redirect to "Spygate", this one from FoxSports. Please leave it alone, damn it. NoseNuggets (talk) 2:51 AM US EST Feb 3 2008

This was not a personal comment, the story broke on February 2, and I was adding information about it, and was putting "more info" on that particular item, as well as a new link from FoxSports.com about that phase of the story as well as the denial. NoseNuggets (talk) 3:03 AM US EST Feb 3 2008.

XStudio

Hi Gwernol. I'm not sure to understand why my article about XStudio has been deleted. I tried to follow all the Wikipedia rules and started from a template used in an existing article about a very comparable product: TestLink. XStudio and Testlink are very similar tools (both free, both have almost the same list of features, both dealing with test management). I tried to use the same content organization for my article about XStudio. Could you point me out what's wrong specifically in mine?
Thanks,
--Egavaldo (talk) (XStudio's developer).

Thanks!

XCritic

You deleted the page. There's an issue as a person who previously deleted it left very dispariging comments which have been cached by google. They border on defamation. So there's a need to make sure that the page either exists or the comments are expunged.Gkleinman (talk) 18:05, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's more than unfortunate the comments on the delete page are spiteful and libelous. The solution here is I've created a new page for XC which you should tag WP:COI and then let the debate about notability occur again as we are a notable source and the issue with google's page pushes this issue as an immediate one Gkleinman (talk) 18:13, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh, need your help. A user has now nominated the page for deletion. I submitted the page to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Pornography to deal with wp:COI issues/etc. But there's a user who has it out for me who has rushed to delete without even looking at the talk page or any of the issues.

Gayass Wikipedians

Excuse me, you may have missed the discussion on ANI last month about users adding cats to their userpages even though the cats were deleted. The consensus was there was nothing wrong with it. So please do not remove it from my userpage again. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ ^echo 18:34, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, the discussion took place at Village Pump. See Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 19#Categorizing in a deleted category. Until there's an official policy somewhere or consensus changes, I will put the cat back on my userpage - not to make a WP:POINT or any thing else but because I want it there for hostorical purposes. Thanks. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ ^echo 20:29, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CM

I'm not sure precisely why Chuck chose to raise the issue with Jwrosenzweig—perhaps because James's name appears on the lists of former ArbCom and MedCom members—but you might want to address Chuck's note (it would probably be appropriate to bust out with the classic "sigh"), although, of course, I don't know that you really need expend any more time on the matter.

Semiotic Traiangle

Hi Gwernol, thanks for such a clear explanation. You reasoning is very clear. To be truthful I can't recall the text of the Semiotic Triangle article, and now I'm even more intrigued as to what about it might have been misleading. Anyway, your logic is (naturally?) sound and I can readily accept it. It is a pity that so many people and so many words had to be written to get at, in the end, what seems to be a very simple fact. By the way, I still don't understand how I could have put my initial note at the top of a page I couldn't reach . . . I would edit the Triangle of Reference but would have to delete most of it and that would get everyone very upset so I'll decline! Thanks again. (p.s. how did you get dragged into this exchange anyway?) LookingGlass (talk) 21:23, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, did you replace the diagram? Thanks if so, though I still think the old page was good and the new one hopeless! :( I did originally find my way back tot eh Semiotic Triangle page but was dazzled by the redirect arrow. It didn't occur to me that I could leave any message/comment/action there . . . LookingGlass (talk) 16:09, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fantasy Basketball

I find it quite distressing that my edits are being deleted since the article in many parts, although it has seemed to have been modified many times since, was entered by us and came from our own copyrighted material. Why is our link as an External Link continually being deleted ? We have been and continue to be one of the oldest active Fantasy Basketball News, Information, and League Sources on the internet, and as such (in conjunction with the aforementioned content/copyright) feel that this link is a valid external link. This is not spam, we realize there is no SER and could care less about that. Please do not delete this link in the future. Thank you 14 February 09:18 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.42.72.220 (talk) 17:19, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your comment re: MONTCO

There's where you are wrong, it is a valid Fantasy Basketball link. As is the more appropriate DMOZ FB Leagues page. If that is not the case then the external link to NBA Fantasy Games is "advertising" for NBA.com and is an inappropriate link as well. Further, which I have stated will document in edits, much of the material provided by us initially. Please read the discussion page, as I will be editing the page back to it's premorphed & more relevant/pertinent version to Fantasy Basketball players and people who have an interest in that subject (ie: people that would actually use the page for their benefit). I will also be adding back many External Links that I feel are pertinent to the issue, again that are in the best interests of the people who would use the page/article, which I had planned on doing next week (see discussion page) but will move up that timetable. I may be mistaken, but from your comments it would appear as though this is not an area of expertise for you and therefore do not have an accurate understanding of what the average person who is interested in thsi subject would find useful. Although your comments and intensions behind policing Wiki are well intended, they should be directed to areas which you have a more accurate understanding as to what may or may not be pertinent —Preceding unsigned comment added by FBF Commish (talk • contribs) 18:43, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RESPONSE: It is indeed a shame that you are acting in the manner of a self-righteous Wikipedian. As someone who is not only a credentialed member of the press but a Fantasy Basketball insider it is (or was as per you I am no longer allowed to edit this page) my intention to revamp this page to better inform and contribute to Fantasy Basketball players knowledge and enjoyment of the game including 1) sources that are and have historically been useful in informing Fantasy Basketball players (for which I have a list of external links to which I have a vested interest in none), 2) Varied league types, formats, guidelines, and settings (which I had originally in the article with no links but for some reason have over time also been deleted), and 3) Lists and Suggestions of "How To's", etc of running, joining, or playing in a Fantasy Basketball league (again with no external links in this area). However you would prefer that active as well as potential or interested Fantasy Basketball players (not Baseball mind you) not have access or be made aware this information. I have not edited any pages on the "Boer Wars" for example, as I am not knowledgable enough in the area to be qualified to do so, yet in this area where I am you feel that you have a better grasp of what is useful to Fantasy Basketball players without having that knowledge or understanding, including external links to DMOZ (who's links have become quite outdated as well a a number are no longer valid - how that is relevant or beneficial to anyone I have no idea) and an "advertising" link to NAB.com's Office Fantasy Games (not NBA the news source mind you). It was my understanding that part of Wiki's function or purpose was to "inform" and "educate", however I did not realize that had changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.42.72.220 (talk) 20:06, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

pardon me master

but if you check out User:ILike2BeAnonymous edits, they are very similar and they just are not considered to be personal attacks. Fair is fair right? There's nothing attacking about my edits either. I was merely verbalizing my frustrations at an editor which seemed unfamiliar in a belligerent manner towards the wikipedia norms. He seemed to be deficient. I find you to be very proficient, am I now attacking you? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boomgaylove (talk • contribs)

Sacha Baron Cohen

Gwernol, please look at Talk:Sacha Baron Cohen. There were lengthy discussions on the topic of Baron Cohen's mother's ancestry and whether or not this claim originated on Wikipedia. There does not seem to be any consensus at all to restore the Persian claim into the article, especially since the article currently states that Baron Cohen's maternal grandmother was German.

I am offended by your unsupported (by links and policy) accusation on my user page. You threaten me with blocking for commenting on a page that is being deleted?

Quick question

Sorry to bother you, but I noticed that you deleted the new page "Hollywood Values" Twice on 16 Feb. What was the information on that page and who were the editors that led to such speedy deletions? Thank you for your time SirChuckB (talk) 10:06, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:Alex.muller

Hi there Gwernol, I've recently (today) approached the above user about him becoming an admin and I am in the process of writing up a nomination statement. I asked him for a suggestion/recommendation that he thought might write a co-nom and he mentioned you. Any interest in co-nomming? I've been to your /admintips subpage and he seems to fit your criteria nicely. If interested, let me know here or on my talkpage and I'll send the link for the pre-transcluded nom page once it exists. Cheers, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:53, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Keeper. Yes, I'd be interested in principle. I've seen Alex around a fair bit and have liked what I've seen. I'd want to look at his contributions in a bit more depth to make sure I'm comfortable before I commit. Unfortunately I'm traveling on business from tomorrow for the next week or so, so I may not be able to get to this for a while. If you want to go ahead without me that's fine, and I am likely to comment on Alex's RfA. If I get the chance I'll give you my thoughts once you have your nomination page ready. Best, Gwernol 20:46, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Unrelated, I just reverted some vandalism on your user page and issued a warning, looks like that happens to your page quite a bit. (Which of course means you're doing things right:-). I've already done my nom statement, Alex has answered the questions very well as can be seen here, so I think I'll go ahead and transclude it in the morning (It's now 3pm in my world) to get things rolling. In other words, it will be transcluded in about 18-20 hours. If you don't have the chance to review the contribs and add a co-nom before your trip I'm sure Alex will understand! Thanks again, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 20:53, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a good plan, and thanks for the userpage revert. Best, Gwernol 20:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
