Hello Tanthalas39,

I have posted my reply regarding my external link to our Dittersdorf multimedia page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kbwiki001#August_2009

I think this is simply a misunderstanding and hopefully I have made clear, my intended purpose.

Your intended purpose does not fit with Wikipedia's encyclopedic purpose. Sorry. Tan | 39 14:42, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chamal's RfA

You asked "who cares", and I think I get your point: "This is only a side issue; don't feed the trolls." In this case, my desire to win a battle of perfection prevailed, despite my experience that nonviolent communication is usually more effective. But if I take you question literally, I have to say that a surprisingly high number of people seem to care about such imperfections; I can't think of another explanation for the fact that Q5 seems to concern more voters than just the copyright specialists. I'm baffled about this; do you understand the human psyche in this case? — Sebastian 20:04, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You were right the first sentence, although normally I would hardly call Ironhold's actions "trolling". Some people just like to oppose over things that most people don't find important. At least this is a valid oppose, as compared to Kurt or Dougstech. Tan | 39 20:22, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

JWatts1959

You might want to keep an eye on this editor, he and User:Caldorwards4 have been edit-warring on Carrie Underwood-related articles for quite some time (at least since April). Caldorwards4 is a good-faith editor and seems to know about the 3RR, whereas JWatts1959 is constantly attacking Caldorwards4 in edit summaries and blatantly running afoul of WP:OR, WP:IINFO, et cetera. About 70% of JWatts1959's edits since February, maybe even earlier, have been edit-warring with Caldorwards4 without even trying to follow the rules, so stricter measures need to be made. In fact, his very first edit was to add such unverifiable info. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 00:25, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I can see that. 72 hour block, probably 2 weeks after, followed by indef - if it keeps up. You know how it goes. ;-) Tan | 39 05:21, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An article in progress...

I have had an article here that I've been wanting to put into the mainspace. I haven't tried putting it live yet though, because I'm not entirely confident with the sourcing of it. I haven't really been able to find any 3rd party sources for the company... the majority of what Google turns up is the web pages for various consultants... Have any suggestions? Until It Sleeps Wake me 13:39, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. Looks like this company might not meet WP:ORG, unless we can come up with some more significant sourcing. I'll poke around a bit. Tan | 39 13:49, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Alright. Thanks in advance. Until It Sleeps alternate 14:34, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bauhaus

Concerning your recent deletion of fact...see the discussion here:[1]. I didn't realize that BLP covers dead people too. Thanks...Modernist (talk) 18:20, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, it doesn't. Biography of living persons. Shouldn't a fact like that require a cite, tho? Tan | 39 18:30, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it does require a reference and truthfully I'm glad you deleted it. I changed it to a much milder - he was fired. That line had been there since March 2007, till now. thanks for your input...Modernist (talk) 18:34, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I was under the impression that it also applied to the recently-dead, as the intent of BLP was to make litigation against the Foundation unlikely. But I can't remember where I read that, so who knows. --King Öomie 18:36, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless of living or dead, that bit needs a cite. All' material on here technically needs a cite, per WP:V - I don't see how this is any different. Tan | 39 18:37, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Whether I'm editing as an IP or under my long-standing account, you have always been helpful to me in dealing with others' disruptive edits. Much appreciated, as always. 99.149.84.135 (talk) 14:42, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You deleted and salted same article under slightly different title: [2], [3]. 99.149.84.135 (talk) 15:07, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Minky

Hello. It appears that we were both processing the same unprotection request at WP:RFPP and came to opposite conclusions. I had already unprotected Minky and was in the processing of saying as much when I edit-conflicted with your decline. What do you feel we should do now? I do not feel strongly about it either way. — Kralizec! (talk) 15:21, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's no big deal, so just leave it for now. What do you think about my post, though? I don't really think it meets the conditions for a DAB page. I bet there are some people who work on this stuff all the time; maybe we should ask them. Tan | 39 15:24, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Your logic on the decline strikes me as being quite reasonable, and I have re-protected the page. Thanks, — Kralizec! (talk) 15:33, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

JWatts1959

Guess what he did the instant he got unblocked? That's right, the same crap he got blocked for last time. Reblock now plz. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 15:23, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Concern

While I was looking at recent changes, I noticed that User: SuperBenson made another account called Troywalker223, while still logged on to superbenson...so i stuck a sockpuppet notice on the troywalker page.(Zaxby (talk) 15:34, 23 August 2009 (UTC))[reply]

You probably shouldn't. Please note that a sock puppet is an alternative account used for fraudulent, disruptive, or otherwise deceptive purposes that violate or circumvent the enforcement of Wikipedia policies. Editors are allowed to have multiple accounts; these are not necessarily "sock puppets". Tan | 39 15:37, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, no problem. I just was worried.(Zaxby (talk) 15:44, 23 August 2009 (UTC))[reply]
