Wired for BooksAnthony, We added the links to our interviews to the Wikipedia project years ago and everything was fine for quite a while. Except at Wikipedia, there now seems to be an oversupply of administrators who don't have enough productive work to do, so they occupy their spare time by erasing the works of others. As I said in my previous post, these interviews are unique, they are not available anywhere else in the world, they include Nobel Laureates in Literature, such as Doris Lessing and they are only included in Wikipedia where appropriate, such as the articles on Doris Lessing or Maya Angelou, for example. I have read your about your skills and you don't appear to have any special education in literature or English. That is why it is so discouraging that you have repeatedly erased the work we have contributed here at Ohio University to the Wikipedia project. You really should resign as an editor of the project since your reckless behavior is damaging the quality of the project. Why don't you spend five minutes and investigate the source interviews at Wired for Books, http://wiredforbooks.org ? From your reply, it appears that you have not made that minimum effort, instead you simply made more threats to erase our work. --David Kurz scribe711 Scribe711 (talk) 15:52, 2 February 2009 (UTC) Hi, Anthony, you should know that according to WP's Wired for Books article, David Kurz created Wired for Books. Explains a lot, eh? So the guy definitely has an agenda. Thanks for your support for my explanation to him. I tried my hardest to be respectful and not threaten him, in spite of his rudeness and patronizing behavior. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 15:02, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Your block of PbenedictMight I ask you to reconsider this block - a username block - because I can't see how this username is against policy. GARDEN 16:21, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Thx... for the zap. Still no idea how it wound up like that. --KP Botany (talk) 04:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC) Re: Deletion of HS Phoolka Article
Three factors: (1) the IP had been given an earlier "only warning" [1] in response to reinstating another IP's Stephen-Colbert-related vandalism, but blanked the warning; (2) the "only warning" response seemed plausible to me, if a bit strong, given the general heightened level of Colbert problems at the time; (3) even if you were to give the IP a little more leeway than just a level 4im warning, the user proceeded to vandalize User:Huntthetroll with the same Colbert stuff (I generally look more dimly at user-page vandalism when considering a block). — TKD::Talk 23:27, 9 February 2009 (UTC) ProblemI am hoping for a possible resolution of a double banger issue - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Andrew_Picken Hoping that you might be able to help - as the conversation at my talk page suggests we have a double dose of non notability :( viz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:SatuSuro#13 SatuSuro 02:13, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Having added a reference from The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich to this article, and then adding it to my watchlist, I find myself astonished at the sheer number of trivial attacks and reverts to it. Any thoughts? Davidelit (talk) 18:28, 27 February 2009 (UTC) Van den SwaerdenheemHello there! You are breaking protocol by deleting questionable pages before they expire.

The article itself not only has reliability and sources from Yahoo and other media outlets, but it can also "stand-alone" as there is no original research necessary to extract content. Since the page was deleted before I could cite any verifiable third party sources, you were unable to see the three references that I was including into the article. At first glance, the article seems like an advertisement. However, the goal of the article is to illustrate DefySupply's unique objective within the E-commerce world. What proper steps must I take to get the page re-established?

Recognizing GRAWPIf you're going to administrate, you need to recognize GRAWP attacks and simply nuke them permanently. User:89.57.160.49 is GRAWP. As are the other half dozen RED LETTER attacks on The Log from the Sea of Cortez. They are aimed at Nawlinwiki, who didn't sprotect the page long enough. IP attacks continue, but now in covert style.

Just so you knowI've reverted this bit of vandalism to your user page. Up to you what to do with the IP. Also, you're a member of WikiProject Medicine but I've never seen you around there. Where'd you usually hang out around here? —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 22:05, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

86.40.100.39 extended blockAs the blocking admin I concur with the extension. It might be worth keeping an eye on 86.40.196.208 as well - this rather excitable person seems to be IP hopping. I do hope somebody doesn't end up rangeblocking most of Ireland &9786; Tonywalton Talk 13:30, 19 March 2009 (UTC) Aepyornis maximusI understand what you are meaning when you say that it is a good redirect; however all the pages that link to this page or have in the past linked to this page, are lists; where they list Elephant Bird, Aepyornis, and Aepyornis maximus where 2 of the three link to the same page. These pages all also list the rest of the species of elephant birds and the rest of these are "red links", only maximus is not, leading one to believe that their is an article about this species, when there is not. Please rethink this as the only other possible solution is to write an article on these, and I personally do not have much info on these particular species. speednat (talk) 14:24, 19 March 2009 (UTC) It may speed up the process by which the article is written if it was red-linked since there are those that write such articles. I do feel strongly about it, and if I can get the necessary book(s) I will write it myself, but at this point I can't. speednat (talk) 22:39, 19 March 2009 (UTC) Military history WikiProject coordinator electionThe Military history WikiProject coordinator election has started.

Infinite chicken theoryHi Anthony: I am unsure as to why you deleted the Speedy tag I placed on the article--it's a word-for word copy of the infinite monkey version. Looks like vandalism.

Block-evading sock from BSkyB Broadband (90.218.53.199)Both 90.218.53.199 and the earlier vandal (90.219.153.34) editing on Middle power are from BSkyB Broadband, in the same CIDR block (90.192.0.0/11). The speed with which the user got a new IP in the first place makes me suspect that they'll be long gone from the second one as well by now (and probably puzzling over why they can't edit Middle power any more anonymously; someone semi-protected it). Thinking abut it, since this is an IP sock a three-hour block would probably have been enough on the second IP address they used; likely as soon as they saw they were blocked they'd have DHCP-ed yet another new IP address. If you feel a longer block is warranted, I've no problem with you changing it, though. Tonywalton Talk 21:14, 11 April 2009 (UTC) TalkbackHello, Anthony Bradbury.

Domain-name usernamesI think they were once absolutely prohibited, but that rule has since been relaxed so that they can be used to edit as long as there seems to be no conflict of interest (A fair amount of people use their personal sites as usernames, after all).

Wallace FowlieI've restored the article Wallace Fowlie (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) because it does not meet any of the Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion and it asserted significance including significant (and obvious) third-party media coverage of the subject. Please take care only to speedy delete articles that do not even assert the significance of the subject to avoid mistakes like this in the future. Thanks, --Ryan Delaney talk 20:20, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Problems created by a WP User...Hi Sir, One user named AlexCovarrubias is typing untrue statements on the article Newly industrialized country. I corrected the information and put a note in the discussion section but he reverted them for no proper reason. He is a Mexican citizen and puts untrue information about Mexico in the article. I got the following facts from two very credible sources. The information is: 1) Mexico is classified as a developing country by the CIA (of the USA). Here is the source: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/appendix/appendix-b.html 2) The planning commission of Government of India classifies only 27.5% (and NOT 77%) of the population as the people under the national poverty line. AlexCovarrubias is classifying Mexico as a developed country (which is not the case). He is also talking ill of India by writing an untrue (false) statement which reads "it is the poorest newly industrialized country with 77% of the people living on less than $ 1 a day." I do not want some body to edit these data and type something amiss (wrong) about any country in particular- India. Please protect the articles- Newly industrialized country, Developing country, Iyengar, and Vadakalai. I will keep you posted of other articles that are subject to mishandling, posting the wrong information, and/or vandalism of any kind. Please prevent this person from making edits on Wikipedia (WP). Please protect the contents of WP. Awaiting your urgent attention and help in this regard. Thanks for your time. Svr014 (talk) 17:43, 5 June 2009 (UTC) Chicago, Illinois, USA.
