White Wolf
Here's a chart ref. Let me take a look at my Metal Discography when I get home and see if they have an entry. Chubbles (talk) 21:35, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, here's the full text of the entry from Martin C. Strong, The Great Metal Discography, 2nd edition, MOJO Books (Glasgow), 2001, p. 603. My comments are in brackets.
"Formed:Toronto, Canada...1975 as Slamm before opting for the Warrior moniker and finally Whitewolf [sic], the line-up being crystallised around Don Wilk, Cam McLeod, Rick Nelson (not that one!), Les Schwartz, and Loris Bolzon. After years of scrambling around on the local circuit, this hungry pack of classy pomp-rockers were eventually snapped up by 'R.C.A.', releasing their debut set, 'Standing Alone', in late '84. A favourite among AOR buffs, the record nevertheless failed to sink its teeth into the charts. [by which he means the US Top 100; he does not list chart positions in the 100-200 range.] The appropriately named 'Endangered Species' (1986) marked the end of the group's recording career, Whitewolf subsequently returning to their collective lair."
Don Wilk - vocals, keyboards / Cam McLeod - guitar / Rick Nelson - guitar / Les Schwartz - bass / Loris Bolzon - drums
[A full discography follows, four entries: the two LPs and two 12" singles. I can list those if you want.]
-Split in 1986.

Re: Final Warning
I will try to make sure that my comments do not target specific users. However, I request that you accept that there are many differing viewpoints on Furry sexuality and the definition of a Furry. In addition to have a furry tag, you also have one for neutrality. I hope you will respect the views of non-Furries, however twisted and insane they may seem to you. Thank you. --Nationalism (talk) 23:00, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Notability of Stanley Coren
As I posted on Talk:Stanley Coren, the article clearly lacks independent sources and verifiable references. What I didn't post is that based on your initial post in Talk, your responses may lead a reader to wonder if that article isn't a conflict of interest. Thanks, Briantresp (talk) 03:45, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
- Based on the post by Masem, I think we're all in agreement that both articles need revising to add citations necessary to meet the appropriate notability guidelines. Thanks, Briantresp (talk) 06:05, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
- I took a look at the Coren article, and I think it will clearly hold up at AfD--I made some suggestions there to improve it further, such as finding book reviews. thanks for your help. Can't see that your involvement represents in any way a conflict of interest. DGG (talk) 12:17, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for informing me of the reason this article (see Heading) was deleted in its majority. I understand the need for proper referencing and will try to link to external sources the next time I edit a page.
Again, much appreciation.

Looking for HELP
Tony, you were considerate enough to explain copyright to me when newspaper scans with a not free/fair use tag were removed from the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Joseph_Cormier Trusting your integrity, I stopped disputing their deletion. The article on me was created two years ago by a Wiki Administrator I met once on a job for an NDP candidate during the last general election driving workers around planting election signs. I don't talk much about my three attempts for elective office as an Independent. Most people just aren't interested so it was natural to share my experience with them. One of them took it upon himself to research my talk and confirmed it by the article. He also posted these images I'm believing with the confidence and experience of an Adm. They were removed from the article by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:J_Milburn Going to his page he states he is strongly atheist and I wondered how he could have a NPOV editing a page on someone who is just as strongly a theist? He actually wrote in the discussion the images made the subject look good. How can other users post an opinion on these disputed images if they can't see them?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:2nd_Police_warning_4_God%27s_Emissary.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:2nd_Police_Warning_4_God%27s_Emissary_1.jpg
Reaching out to more experienced people for help, those people effectively decimated the article to boring dullness. I placed it in the Discussion with an general appeal to other editors for suggestions to make the article more encyclopedic and verifiable in accordance with this in Wiki policy:Share material: The talk page can be used to store material from the article which has been removed because it is not verified, so that time can be given for references to be found. New material can sometimes be prepared on the talk page until it is ready to be put into the article. Believing I am literate, I read those words to say I can post the removed material for revision and discussion. They say no. I would like to know what you think? DoDaCanaDa (talk) 04:57, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
- Did I read the talk page properly about putting the removed article for suggestions and improvements in the Talk? DoDaCanaDa (talk) 05:50, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
- Tony, this answer "It's not a good idea to paste old versions of articles onto the talk page" does not answer a question requiring only yes or no. DoDaCanaDa (talk) 16:08, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the direct answer. Respectfully, I don't agree and will work to build consensus. Peace DoDaCanaDa (talk) 18:58, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

I also got an e-mail from the user, apparently they're part of a Lynn Anderson fan site, and are threatening to "see that Lynn Anderson is properly treated" on Wikipedia. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 20:58, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

User:Bwmoll3 again
You might want to look at his comments here. I've already warned him for attacking me, but he's probably just going to undo my warning. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Chirps•Clams•Chowder) 18:40, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- You called it. I left an expanded note - can I suggest that with experienced editors, you avoid using templated messages? I think it's a better idea to express the concerns a little more in-depth when it comes to someone who's been around a while, rather than just using the template. Tony Fox (arf!) 18:54, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- You might want to take a look at this too. He's threatening to re-create the page the instant it gets deleted. I know I'll never get through to him but I'm still trying. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Chirps•Clams•Chowder) 17:42, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Warren Kinsella
Hi there. I've had a problem at Warren Kinsella and I see on the article stats sheet that you've done a little editing there. There's a content dispute revolving around a possible BLP issue, so if you feel up to it, would you mind chiming in on Talk:Warren Kinsella? Thanks. Okiefromokla questions? 00:34, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting the ball rolling with sensible suggestions. I've been trying to get editors to discuss this latest dispute, so as long as there are no obvious BLP issues that require immediate intervention, I'll let the article's editors work things out and unprotect accordingly. Thanks again. Okiefromokla questions? 16:44, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Open water swimming
Hi there. Thanks for offering to mediate for this page. The admin with whom I have a dispute has decided to remove himself from the watchlist of this page. I would like to start expanding it, but given the history, I would prefer it if an admin were to at least check out the changes I make. In particular and for a start, I would like to change the definition of open water swimming to the definition given in the quote from the official of the amateur swimming association. (See the talk page). I would then like to start expanding the article. Also note in the talk page that I would like to add (back in, it seems) a bibliography. I would appreciate comment on that as well. Ross-c (talk) 06:38, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm hopeful this time. I'm not going to have the otters ever destroy anything, though. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 22:53, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Mr Fox, You Are Mistaken
The mainstream media statement is only an advertisement I'm afraid. It's no different than Fox New's "fair and balanced" or CNN's "most trusted name in news" mottos. You also did not read the article clearly, BECAUSE IT DOES BACK MY CLAIMS. Capitol Hill Blue is a very reliable resource with good debators. I hope this will be the last time I ever have to have this type of discussion with youKevin j (talk) 16:38, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Again Mr Fox, You Are Mistaken
The mainstream media motto is an advertisement. There has been bad reports now-and-then on news outlets here in America, and the website uses this motto to present themselves as completely reliable. You live off of Canadian-centered news reports, and you need to know that individual nations intend to base their reports off of events in their own country Because of this news policy, it's harder for a foreigner like yourself to be fed around-the-clock knowledge about events in a different country; just like it is harder for me to do the same with events in Canada. Do you really also think they would jeopardize their business by saying it was unreliable? Get better knowledge of the facts.Kevin j (talk) 17:12, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Sir, I have majored. Sorry if my comments offended you. I also watch CNN too, but that still does not have anything to do with your comments about Capital Hill Blues. CNN claims they're the most trusted name in news, and that's only an advertisement. From watching CNN, I can honestly say I don't think either Jack Cafferty or Wolf Blitzer are honest 100% of the time. Still, that doesn't discredit CNN as a reliable resource.Kevin j (talk) 17:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
I think that the editor of Capital Hill Blue was only being more honest when they stated that notice, and used it as an advertisement. I've watched every news network for quite some time, and I can honestly say are just as at fault as Capital Hill Blue but are still very reliable. They don't admit their mistakes (such as the bias hype CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and MSNBC have given Obama in their news coverage throughout this election), because they would lose profits if they did. The Capital Hill Blue only covers unmentioned stories, and it's not a tabloid newsprint, like The National Enquirer, at all.Kevin j (talk) 18:02, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Doing the Relisting
When you are relisting something at XfD, you must type the relist template as {{subst:relist|~~~~}}. This signs it (instead of having it end "Thanks, ~~~~"). It also prevents the text added to the discussion from changing if the template is ever edited. If in the future you want to use a template but aren't 100% sure how, if you go to the template page (eg. Template:relist), you will usually find documentation. Thanks! --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 05:22, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you. I didn't realize it had gone funny on me there. Tony Fox (arf!) 05:35, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
- 'Tis well. One more thing I've noticed while doing non-admin closures at AfD, though: you must either comment out or remove the debate's transclusion at AfD, or it will appear in the list at WP:OAFD. If there isn't documentation on how to relist stuff, I should make some, because I've made those same errors in the past. --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 08:51, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed that you deleted the article I Have Tourette's thanks to the AfD, however I Have Tourettes (which was where the user merged it from) is still there. I'm sorry if this is a bit confusing, but could you delete I Have Tourettes as well? It was just a redirect to the page with the apostrophe. Thanks! Lady Galaxy 22:38, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: So...
I'm sure he won't. Still, it's more fun to leave a reason like that instead of "CSD G3 - Vandalism". Gets the point across better too.

Thanks for your help
Thanks for posting instructions about how to make an RfC on my talk page. Strangely, by the time i took your advice and got well unerway, i found out that
- (A) OrderinChaos had alread decided to create an RfC for me, using my research, with the stated idea that the more experienced Madman woud actually file it -- and,
- (B) unexpectedly, hrafn suddenly announced that he was "retiring" from Wikipedia. (See his user page for the bitter details.)
So, that's that. I do not know who hrafn was, but i think that being the subject of a MEDCAB request, a Wikiquette Alert, an AN/I report, and a prospective RfC all in one week influenced the decision to retire this persona. Anonymity being what it is, i suspect that the human being behind the name will log in tomorrow as someone fresh and new. All i ask is that he, she, or it play nicely. Again, thank you for your help.
