Deletion of Game Lounge post

I like an explanation of why this post was deleted. Everything in this post was factual. There were no marketing or promotional elements to it. I did not write "This service is great, buy it!". It is important not to hastily judge a post as spam simply because it is for a commercially available product. The service exists, it is noteworthy, and there are no blatant sales pitches in it.

Hi there. I was original tagger of that article, which I tagged as A7. After some discussion with the author and with Balloonman, I figured that this article probably meets at least the standards of passing A7, if not notability itself. As you were the original deleter of that article, I figure it is best to go to you for an undeletion request. Sincerely, NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 21:04, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Logos with text

Hi. I was just looking at the new PlayStation Netowork logo which has been placed on the PlayStation Network and PlayStation 3 articles and I was sure that there was something in the MOS about the use of images which include the product/company name in the way that this one does. I thought I remembered reading that if the text is not part of the logo it's self and an alternative without text is available, then that one should be used. But I can't find this now. I noticed that you had reverted to the older version (which has since been reverted again) and wondered if this was the reason or whether I've just made this up in my head!? :) ChimpanzeeUK - User | Talk | Contribs 09:25, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to know

Why are you changing the date on my Wikipedia bio? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.253.155.193 (talk) 22:54, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a reliable source for the correct date, there would be no question. WP:AUTO is probably also worth reading; it's generally frowned upon to edit a biographical article about yourself.  Frank  |  talk  23:04, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jesus And Horus

Why did you revert to McGeddons last version? The parrallels section is useless to the Horus article in that it teaches nothing about Horus as a god, and is instead interested in teaching the Christ Myth theory. There is a whole Wikipedia article on the Christ Myth theory, which this is better suited to.

The Horus article shoudl be about Horus.

Worse, the information is from unreliable sources and has no credibility whatsoever.


The text of the section isn't even supported by the text above about Horus.

It sonly added to lend credibility to Christ Myth media resources liek Zeitgiest or Religulous, and serves no useful pourpose here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.24.236.20 (talk) 23:42, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vitamin D

Hi, you reverted my edit on Vitamin D, but didn't give an edit summary - what exactly was the problem with it? --144.53.226.17 (talk) 00:23, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I got reverted for an identical edit over on Hypervitaminosis D by a different editor, also by accident, so I was getting a little puzzled. Now I look at the diff, I can see why it happened - seems to be showing my edit as a much larger change than it actually was. --144.53.226.17 (talk) 00:32, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, about my recent edit

This is the cheapo here. Why did you revert my edit on Lego Stunt Rally? It was a perfectly good edit. There was no need to revert it and it constructively built on the article.

Hi, just wondering why you reverted those edits.

I'm not trying to push anything, I just came across these things in a reuters article and thought they were relevant:

"Ban Ki Moon condemned the attack, saying it was "totally unacceptable".[1]

 +  
 + The attack has been likened to the 2006 Qana airstrike in which 28 unarmed Lebanese were killed.[2] "

Just wondering if there's a particular reason.

CheersJandrews23jandrews23 (talk) 17:14, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Star Trek

Hi Thingg,
I noticed some edits to Star Trek that appeared to be vandalism by IP: 80.195.238.187 recently. I tried to do the undo thing, and tagged as attempt to revert vandalism. Did I do it properly? I noticed when checking back, there seemed to be a bunch of back and forth edits, and it looked like you were taking care of business. I hope my attempt did interfere with your work.

how was my last edit vandalism, how should it have been edited? i was referring to the in-universe manual of style article... surely you can see the redundancies and irrelvancy of the subject matter while considering the need for real world perspective —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deboinhidef (talkcontribs) 23:10, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

complaint

Well the reason I did it was b/c Anome deleted these two wikipedia pages that are redirected from my homepage that someone from the administration of Wikipedia helped me do. I worked really hard on them, and can you please ask him to re post them back up, because I'm extremely frustrated!

Holidayroad8 (talk) 23:58, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've already threatened to contact one of the administrators on him for doing that. He hasn't responded back. I really need those pages though and I'm extremely upset that I worked for almost a year on those and have them deleted like that, without them being a problem to everyone else, but one little person goes on there and deletes it like a jerk. I don't know what else to do.

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
Thank you so much for all your help in reverting vandalism on Go Man Go while it was on the main page. Ealdgyth - Talk 00:04, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thingg. I saw you reverted edits made by an IP on this page on 7 Jan. A week ago or so I cleaned it up, templated it and posted soft (eg. 1st) warnings to the 2 IP's who were persistently re-inserting their personal tl;dr versions of some alleged mayoral misbehaviours (even though they'd been at it for quite some time, it had slipped under the radar). I was particularly concerned by the WP:BLP issues. As you noticed, IP 204 is now back at it - another warning would be order but as its a shared educational IP I'm not sure how to proceed on this one (and neither am I an admin). Anyway, just thought I'd give some background re. the history of reverts and all. Ta. Plutonium27 (talk) 15:51, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please restore the entry on Firstfloor Electronix

Hi there,

could you be so kind to restore the article? I checked the Wikipedia rules and failed to see what opposed its inclusion. Also I provided additional sources for the relevance of it you just seemed to ignore (you did not comment on it). Here are some more references on this, one from the art department of the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation, the other from a radion station:

http://www.kunstradio.at/INFO/collab.html http://www.fro.at/ars04/participants.html

Both confirm many facts stated in the article.

Also I don't understand why you have entries like these from the same area of interest but oppose to include the Firstfloor Electronix group:

Can you take it to the talk page

You're not a familiar face or a participant of the discussions on the 2008–2009_Israel–Gaza_conflict. The addition of the photo was a result of lengthy discussions with the compromise that pictures of victims are okay as long as they were not graphic.

Thanks for reverting, there wasn't a consensus yet, but the photo did meet the conditions set forth by the people who originally opposed the photos of victims, and I rather appreciate that people first discuss what they think shouldn't be there before reverting someone's work. --Falastine fee Qalby (talk) 05:17, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pac-Man Dossier

I think you misunderstood my posting of 'The Pac-Man Dossier' on the Pac-Man page. The Dossier is referenced (#22) for part of the document, but is pointing in the wrong place in References.

Hi. I noticed that you were the other editor who has reverted the above user's changes to Irene Melikoff. I've reverted them several times and tried several different tactics, discussion, warnings and compromise (going through the source they provided and reincluding the material after reverting), to try and get them to understand that these changes should be discussed, particularly the ones that needlessly remove the stub and completely violate WP:DATE. It's not exactly vandalism, but it is very disruptive editing so I would be uncomfortable with doing a block myself given my involvement... but, by the same token, no amount of compromise or request for discussion seems to be sufficient for this individual to let go of their own version of the page. Any suggestions? Cheers, CP 19:27, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Edit-warring at Kundalini yoga

I presume you've seen {{uw-3rr}} before, so I won't post it here. I will say that if you find yourself in a position where you feel it is necessary to revert an editor more than once or twice, you should try consulting our dispute resolution guidelines and enlisting the help of other editors - and if that fails, contact admins via WP:AIV or WP:ANI.

deletion of "Scalable Network Technologies" page

Hello Thingg,

I created an article on Scalable Network Technologies yesterday and you deleted it. How frustrating. I tried to use an encyclopedic tone and included details similar to the ones on OPNET's page, which is a similar company to SNT. I could use some help from you in revising the page.

What I can do to get it to stick? Your feedback was that a) I'm not defining what SNT does that is noteworthy and/or b) I'm making false claims.

I put a lot of facts up there. If you could give me some feedback as to how I can meet the standards of wikipedia, I'd appreciate it.

Best Regards,

Hi there. Many thanks for implementing my request for semi-protection on the article. But... having discussed this with another editor, we feel that the edits from other IPs have been valuable enough to warrant allowing their being able to contribute to the article, and that the vandalism edits will be manageable if we keep a closer eye on it. With that in mind, I was wondering if you would now be willing to unprotect it? Sorry to mess you around like this. I should have taken a closer look at the history for the ratio of good edits to bad; I'll certainly do so from now on. All the best, Steve TC 22:24, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help with Wikipedia

Hello, I am new to the ways of editing and reporting things on Wikipedia. We are having an issue with a particular person from IP address 72.213.190.7 on the Cascia Hall Preparatory School article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascia_Hall_Preparatory_School

What this person keeps editing on this article is terrible and accusatory toward this educational and religious institution. I noticed on other pages that there were headings on them which stated others cannot edit the article. Would that be possible for our situation? The way the page looks currently, after I edited it, is what the school marketing department wrote and is what we would like to remain on the Cascia Hall Wikipedia page.

I noticed that a couple of Wikipedia administrators, yourself and someone that goes by the username of Edgehead5150, keep changing the school's posting and reverting back to previously edited material, which has inaccurate information also. We would like for it to stay as is, and we would really like to block the person with the IP address: 72.213.190.7, for a period of time, from being able to edit on wikipedia due to vandalism. I have sent them a warning requesting that they do not post such things. They put the comments right back up, but thanks to "Cluebot", the slanderous material was deleted.

Thank you for your help! mnorvell —Preceding unsigned comment added by MNorvell (talkcontribs) 18:10, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ACORN

Why is it that many articles on Wikipedia are slanted towards socialist or so-called "progressive" views yet when I attempt to balance an article with the other side of the story my edits are constantly reverted? Is Wikipedia really that slanted to the left? Or is it just the agenda of certain administrators and "Vandal-stoppers" shining through? As a point of fact I rarely delete others contributions, even if I disagree strongly with the author. The fact is also that ACORN is a partisan organization which commits vote fraud for them and right now the democrats are trying to give them over $2 billion in their economic stimulus to reward their efforts. Please tell me what is false or misleading about my edit? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.180.118.52 (talk) 20:40, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing Heart edit

I was confused by this edit. As I read your previous edit, it read smoothly. but if, by chance you really do mean to include the words "prepare to stand by", then I think that there still remains a conjugation error. Unschool 20:54, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Veganism entry

Hi there - i see that you have removed some references I included in the Veganism entry on hemp oil. I'm quite new to Wikipedia so would appreciate it if you could let me know why it was taken down- I thought they were quite relevant. Many thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.127.222 (talk) 14:17, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Undelete Actano Rplan

Hello I am currently trying to get Actano Rplan restored (http://deletionpedia.dbatley.com/w/index.php?title=ACTANO_RPlan_%28deleted_23_Jun_2008_at_06:29%29). I am new to wikipedia, other then using it as a reference. I have been researching why it was deleted and I still wasn't real clear I know it had something to do with notability. I would appreciate if you could restore the page. Additionally, I would appreciate any guidance you can give to have the page better conform to the guidelines. Thanks alot Jasonfilmfan (talk) 20:27, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Counterstriking

Last time I heard/saw Kevin was in And the Wiener is.... My memory might be a bit hazy but that's what I think. I've only been watching reruns on TBS. That's my guess. Dropping you from somewhere, 66.231.12.116 (talk) 16:06, 16 February 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Check your bot?

Hey Thingg - just a note: You may want to check your HG bot. You reverted vandalism to Meat Loaf and your bot reverted your edit back to the vandalized version.

Best regards! --Manway (talk) 17:10, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thingg

As I understand it, you have deleted the entry I made: Dorset Bach Cantata Club on the grounds of blatant copyright infringement.

I really don't understand. All the facts in question (I'm pretty certain) are true, and from first hand experience. I do not believe any person would consider that they had been demeaned in any way.

If it is the case, could you please explain what the infringement is?

I hadn't finished my edit, I had saved it so as to prevent it being lost because my internet crashes. The edit I was going to make was a common sense one. Much happens in sport and consequently it is inocorrect to refer to the last 26 years as the modern era. On the article in question, a huge transition took place in 1995, making the sport professional. Having two distinct sporting set-ups in the history of the game means it makes no sense to have an encylopedia entry that merges the two together under the same generic banner. The area of the article I was editing is poorly written, lacks citations and accuracy. If you want to make the changes, go ahead. I had no idea a New Yorker could be an expert on Welsh Rugby.
