Baker Lake

I noticed you took it upon yourself to remove links to Inuit galleries from the Baker Lake page. Did it never occur to you that users would LIKE to know what galleries carry Inuit art from Baker Lake? Or that users would LIKE to have links to those galleries where they can learn more about Inuit art from Baker Lake? Wikipedia is an information source. Galleries are a key source of information. Try not to be so cavalier about removing useful information and links, other users may have a broader view of the subject than your own narrow, non-commercial view. If you don't like a link, don't click on it. But don't be so high and mighty that you think you have the right to remove them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blitzwerk (talk • contribs) 18:45, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Thank you for clarifying what is, and is not, Wikipedia policy. I will still endeavour to keep red links to a minimum, but now feel able to update with more entries, subject to my intention to write articles at a later date (within a couple of months or so). It will also come in useful for my new article on a List of Record Labels from Bristol, which I'm just about to upload.

Michael Scofield

Thank you for your reply on the editor assistance page.

I have done by best to assume good faith and made concessions in order to reach consensus, yet have been thwarted and verbally insulted by the other editor. On the talk page, he refuses to discus the point beyond "He's right and I'm wrong" while I waste my time rationally discussing the pros and cons of different options.

When I ask for editor assistance in whether I am correct to maintain this neutral stance or to let his unconfirmed stance ride he follows my posting history to the page in order start a completely different debate - one of which I'd already agreed with with and provided him with the evidence to confirm.

For 8 months I've remained in the top 3 layers of the dispute pyramid without requiring any further assistance, but he's now made two reversions within 24 hours and I'd rather not be the one who starts an edit war about this.

Any and all advice is appreciated. My IP address tends to change but will check for messages at talk page for the one this message is posted from 149.254.218.38 (talk) 10:11, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Need review and comment please

Hi Jezhotwells I have revised and added the Inline citations for the article that I am writing as you requested. The article is parked at User:Shizuye/Victor Arbogast I would like to get review and comment so that I can proceed ahead. I have submitted this question on my discussion page (Of the article's User Page), and have not received an answer. I would appreciate your help and comment. Thank you.

Berlin request

Hello.


Thank you for your earlier feedback regarding my WIP article on the documentary Berlin. I've tried to add some third-party details, though they seem to be mostly about the broadcast in the UK, as opposed to the international one shown on BBC World News. In any case, if you wouldn't mind taking a look, could you see if the article is a little bit closer to being ready to go? --Nerroth (talk) 17:10, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another editor and I have tried to clean it up. Thank you for your helpful links. Do you have any further suggestions? Thanks. Airplaneman talk 05:49, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I come in need of service

Hello, Jezhotwells:

I only know you from your GA review of the Edward Said article. But I wonder if you wouldn't be able to help me, or maybe direct me towards help regarding another issue. There is a category being discussed for deletion, and I believe two editors have made the issue personal, nominating for deletion two other related categories, before this one has even been decided upon. I don't know how to alert the appropriate administrator or what I can do, and I'm wondering if you could tell me the steps to take. Respectfully, Abie the Fish Peddler (talk) 19:21, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you are talking about WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 January 22#Category:Writers who served in the military it looks to me as if powerful arguments for deletion have been made. If you oppose the deletion then you need to argue the case at the discussion citing Wikipedia policies and show why this category is neccessary. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:27, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. And what if it's this discussion?--Abie the Fish Peddler (talk) 19:32, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There's a fair bit of to and fro there. The same points are made as in the other nomination and must say, I appreciate the points made by the deletionists. Perhaps the list suggestion is the way to go.? Jezhotwells (talk) 20:52, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your time and your honest opinion. I hope you will feel free to comment on the discussion. As for the list suggestion, I already have one under construction, yet as you know the functions of a category are different and preferrable.--Abie the Fish Peddler (talk) 21:08, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bad faith edits after resolution

Hi. If you take at look at my user page User_talk:Jonathanbishop there is a comment from someone who refers to himself as the Colonel. This person has already successfully contributed to the removal of the Jonathan Bishop article through personal and collaborative attacks on myself and has now set himself on a crusade to remove any mention of me and my work from Wikipedia. He has started by removing the content from the Character theory (Media) page and I'm currently monitoring the other pages I'm mentioned on. What action can I or Wikipedia take? Thanks. --17:09, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

I have reverted and warned the IP. WP:VANDAL gives further information about fighting vandalism. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:20, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for this. I did an nslookup on the IPs and its the same ISP as my former fiancee's parents use. They tend to change their IP address with each edit to cover their tracks. Apologies for having to clutter up your talk page. --Jonathan Bishop (talk) 17:38, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

EL/M-2080 Green Pine

Hi, thanks for your 2nd opinion! Who should pass the article now? Flayer (talk) 13:57, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The reviewer, User:Offliner, should pass it if they agree with others' comments. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:31, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
