User talk:Trebor
If you leave a message here, I will probably respond here. If I've left a message at your talk page, you can respond there or here.
I am an administrator (blocks, protects, deletions), so ask me if you need assistance requiring the extra tools. I am open to recall; if five editors in good standing (which I will judge liberally) request it, I will stand for reconfirmation.
Jakob Dylan
Thanks for your support on the Jakob Dylan dispute. Once we find out the outcome of the AfD and Sockpuppetry reviews, we can likely come back and ask for it to be unprotected. Daffidd (talk) 12:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- No problem, although I'm not supporting either version, just preventing edit warring. Hopefully the dispute can be resolved quickly. If you want non-controversial edits to be made to the page in the mean time, add Template:Editprotected to the talk page along with a description of the edit. Trebor (talk) 13:23, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Oh I understand you're not taking sides. I just appreciate taking a rest on the back and forth edits. Once we know which way it goes on the AfD it will help in making a decision when to unprotect. The offending user has been banned for 12 hours as well, so we'll give it a few days. I'm a newbie so thanks for the direction on what to do next!

Yeah, thanks for noticing the problems with the Jacob Dylan page and associated pages. Hopefully some (more) credible references will be dug up before long, or this whole thing exposed as a hoax. Bigmouth strikes (talk) 07:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
What correlation is there between x amount of citations and uncited content? If i have 90 references for 15 out of 20 statements but none for the rest, the rest still need citations. There is an error in your logic. I have mentioned it on the talk page. I could give additional information if necessary, however I believe it it pretty obvious what needs to be done. Here's my line. In general the article's tone is very unencyclopedic, it is full of useless trivia, a lot of content is inserted repetitiously. its not a good read at all. basically. its a bad article. lets improve it. if it must exist.Myheartinchile (talk) 00:07, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- And, as has been said on the talk page, all you're doing is saying the article is uncited without giving a single specific example. It's far from obvious what you think needs to be done. If you think the article has problems, state what they are (as in specifically, not general sweeping comments) and what should be done to correct them. If you get consensus for your changes then you can implement them. Don't just disruptively add tags. Trebor (talk) 00:36, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Big Brown Edits
I logged in to correct some posts I made yesterday. Track attendance reported by ABC pre-race was in error, the corrected amount is 94,476. Also I wanted to post total wagers were $13,233,071 at the track for the day, the second highest number recorded, but was still less than the $14,461,402 bet during Smarty Jones appearance in 2004 [1].
Thread is locked and I am listed as a new member so I can't get in. Eedlee (talk) 13:39, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Can I get a response at least? Eedlee (talk) 21:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay. The article was semi-protected in response to vandalism following the race. Until your account is autoconfirmed (4 days old and at least 10 edits) you can ask others to make the change for you on the article's talk page. Trebor (talk) 21:54, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Korax1214
Requesting unblock and claiming he's not a sock. Who's the puppeteer, and what's the evidence? Daniel Case (talk) 14:21, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- The puppeteer is User:CanuckAnthropologist who was banned yesterday for repeated disruptive editing. The relation to Korax was raised on ANI and upon review of the evidence (supported by User:LessHeard_vanU) I found it likely they were the same user. Evidence includes the restarting of editing after a (admittedly short) break soon after CA was block and the moves of similar pages (those starting Afro-) against general consensus. If you disagree, feel free to overturn or go to WP:RFCU. Trebor (talk) 17:03, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
