Making my page relevant

I would like to make my subject at Seriousseeker to be relevant to the subject of the Christian "brethren movement" or "brethren assemblies" or "Plymouth Brethren". I do not understand the process to establish the message on the above named pages.

I feel a need to express that the title of Brethren From 1827 is that fellowship which withstood various divisions and continued the revival of 1827 without designating the names of men or places. Contact would seek to show serious seekers how this recovery of church truth continued through the years, and has sought to maintain the intent of God through the founding brothers. Thanks.

Dear Dlohcierekim,

Thank you for the advice since which significant amendments have bee made and more will be made today. If you have a spare minute, could you let me know when does the Afd decision happen? tried to find answers, and it seems that it is usually 7 days?

Protercool request

I just want to have a number named after me, I thought if I put it on Wikipedia people would come and read it and then go on to use it until it was recognized as an actual number. Please restore the page olegillion. Thank you, protercool.

PS: One day when I am famous it will become a number anyway so you may as well have the facts correct and written by the actual person who named it. :P —Preceding unsigned comment added by Protercool (talk • contribs) 06:32, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Please look after the truth with the name Canaari. You can also contribute to the site, the "delet only mode" you are int is not too creative. You can give one day or two, find links, put them in to the article. If you want the truth to appear in tghe article, and you know very well that truth, why donto you do something, instead deleting.

Hi.

I am new to the editing features of this site. I recently added a link to our company website and it was promptly deleted from both the pages (mobile device management and Blackberry). The Admin who deleted the link on the BlackBerry page left a note that Advertising is not allowed. We have done nothing different than what at least 10 other companies have done on the Mobile Device Management page. In fact our offerings are almost exactly the same as MobileIron, listed in the MDM page.

I would appreciate it if you could let me know how I could have our company's offerings listed.

Thanks.

RajaBasu59 —Preceding unsigned comment added by RajaBasu59 (talk • contribs) 03:32, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

links to the "Mobile Device . . .

I recently added links to our company and product pages in the above two articles.

I would like to understand why they were deleted. Our company and products are very similar to the ones already listed in thier, in fact in two cases, they are our direct competitors.

While I am sure there is an absolutely good reason for the deletions, since I am new to the editing features of this site, I would be grateful if you could let me know the reasons why they were deleted

Thanks

RajaBasu59RajaBasu59 (talk) 03:37, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Ohh. Should have read more carefully

No, you cant add links about your products to . Additions like this and this are regarded as using Wikipedia for advertising. People do it and get away with it, but we clean out non conforming links (WP:EL when we see them. Sorry, I guess I'm not that helpful after all. No, sorry, we don't provide ad space and eradicate links that look non conforming fast as we can. I'll be glad to remove any that I see. Dlohcierekim 03:59, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

If you check my most recent edits, you'll see I've followed your advice. Thank you for catching my error and correcting me gently. In addition to apologizing, I've invited the others to trout-slap me. I extend the same invitation. Look for a reallly big trout.

You are welcome. No problem. These things happen. The sad thing is the article sat that way for years. I would imagine you were overcome by emotion at seeing that and fatigued. You obviously care very much about the project and its quality to get that upset. Cheers and happy editing. Dlohcierekim 15:19, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Just so you know. . .

. . .the lawyer article you are trying to save has editted as anonymous IP on several other articles. He inserted his name and bracketted it. Because he did not have an article at the time, those inserts showed up as red wikilinks. Several editors removed his entries for creating broken links. Well, he tried it again recently on an article that I follow and I backtracked him to his COI self-started article. I firmly believe after reading an account on save the Sonics, he became involved for the notieriety. He has ambition and at about age 40 is probably looking to launch himself for public office. I know about the campaign because I live in an NBA city that also was looked at as a possible relocation to same city the Sonics moved to. In addition I follow the NBA nightly as I am a life-long Lakers fan. So, I know quite a bit about the campaign because I followed for many reasons. Just a heads-up, I don't nominate articles for the fun of it. I do it because I try to improve articles here. Self-serving articles have little business here. --Morenooso (talk) 16:00, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I assume you mean Paul Schneiderman. Well actually, I'm not trying to save. I just don't think it meets WP:CSD. You may have noticed I did not decline the speedy. If I thought the article needed saving, I'd have done that. You might want to PROD, or given your concerns, take it to AFD to give it a good working over. I doubt it would survive AFD. I too try to improve articles, and you should be aware that WP:CSD are meant to be strictly applied. Not that a more aggressive admin won't honor the speedy. (I've never had a CSD sent to DRV, and don't intend to start.) That's why I passed it on down the line instead of declining. Cheers, and good luck. Dlohcierekim 16:13, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I have your talkpage on Watch for replies (ergo, no need to leave a note on my talkpage) as I was working on another article. As for nominating for AfD, you wouldn't believe the saviors or preservationists who come out of the woodwork there. In fact, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/JoBlo.com was the article I was just working on when you put the notification on my page. Joblo's article came to my attention in much the same way as Paul's. With Joblo's article, an editor saw it and listed it on their wikiproject page which has brought on other editors to the debate. A PROD is the worse way of deleting an article. If removed, a PROD cannot be re-established and you should proceed to AfD. I am aware of CSD. If you look at my userpage, you will see my handy-dandy reference wikilink. If you click on it, you will see CSD listed. On my tabbed windows, it is the second tab open (right next to my web email). On the next tab is other references I use frequently. And in the next two tabs are other articles I am working on.

You may not know me but I have been at this for a while. I may not be the swiftest or the smartest but I do try to improve Wikipedia in many ways. Catching COI articles is just a side-product. It is not one I am fun of but like the sockpuppets I have caught, it unfortunately is a part of Wikipedia. Hope this helps. BTW, when I just looked at the title of my references User:Morenooso/Wikipedia References which is on my userpage, I noticed References was misspelled. Thanks to you I caught that.--Morenooso (talk) 16:26, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

you wouldn't believe the saviors or preservationists who come out of the woodwork there. Wouldn't I? <chuckle>. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 16:34, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Yup. I had a phone call and was getting chewed out because I have a meeting tonight. I'd like to think like the wikistars you have, I am a defender of the Wiki too. It's just like the phone call - my hide gets chunks bitten off now and again. Oh well. . .

If you are including yourself in that mix (by the Would I), then you have wicked humor! ;) --Morenooso (talk) 16:40, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

And, an article that I saved from CSD just popped due to a Bot - Rabbi Meir Don Plotzky. If I didn't know better, I feel like I in the movie Airplane and this is a bad week for giving up just about anything. --Morenooso (talk) 16:45, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

That's a new one on me. Did I say Airplane? I meant the Twilight Zone. Angel Monroe just went down to CSD. Twice re-created and that was a beautiful one that was very complicated. I think I have some of that glue around. . . --Morenooso (talk) 16:52, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I thought your comment preceeded your revert. I saw the vote by some user named Olaf. Hmmm. . . --Morenooso (talk) 17:14, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I don't know what Olaf was trying to say. I did make an idiot of myself by trying to revert what I thought was vandalism. Apparently those were links used by Schmidt in a keep argument in an AFD?? I'm going back outside. He's apparently even more "too inclusionist for my tastes" than I thought. We'll see how it falls out. Dlohcierekim 17:20, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I thought Olaf made a good point and wondered about your revert. Am I missing something? --Morenooso (talk) 17:22, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I shot form the hip trying to revert the porn links, then saw that they were legit. Like Atana says-- extreme inclusionist. Taken in context of the AFD, they are not so bad. ANd so. Even though he is an extreme inclusionist, I still trust him to correctly judge consensus. I myself abhor labels and choose not to apply them to myself accept in obvious cases of idiocy. 17:27, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

That is, my own idiocy. Dlohcierekim 17:28, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

My instinct told me he was inclusionist when I saw his replies to Joblo's AfD. And now, I know he loves film too (which I have quoting from Top Gun). Maybe I'm Shatner on an airplane? --Morenooso (talk) 17:32, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I know MQS of old. He'll be fine. I just don't agree with him @ times. Dlohcierekim 17:41, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

U R welcome. Dlohcierekim 23:01, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm, I thought this was a lock. . .

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/MichaelQSchmidt On some I voted, he looked like he was cruising in the other day. It looks like the opposes are growing. I estimate he would need about 80 Supports to turn the tide. I think some of his statements are killing him. --Morenooso (talk) 06:36, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Did I say 80? I meant 120. His support is dropping quickly. Wow!!! --Morenooso (talk) 12:03, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Yup. A lot of lessons to be learned here about RfA. Dlohcierekim 13:12, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Snowball coming!! I think he lobbed one two many snowballs. . .

Not bloody likely. He may withdraw, but this will likely go the full duration and may produce a thread at WT:RFA. WP:SNOW only applies when a consensus is overwhelming, obviously 80% or greater, early on and sure to remain that way. An obviously deletable article at AFD or an RFA for a candidate with < 1000 edits and a clear demonstration of unreadiness, for instance. This will finish at around 60% support, which is "no consensus". Candidate is extraordinary and imminently qualified except that he's a flaming ultra inclusionist. The deletionists won't stand for it, and even moderates will oppose. When the opposition was delayed, I thought he was going to make it. As a rule of thumb,people are reluctant to be the first opposer in an RFA which shows early strong support. Once someone takes the first step, others are sure to follow where underlying philosophies about the 'pedia are in conflict,. This has been pretty civil. I've seen things turn nasty. read the arguments pro and con carefully. There is much to be learned here. Dlohcierekim 13:40, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

I have following along, especially after you pointed out the RFA to me. What you pointed out has become the catalyst and in the last 24 hours has swung the debate. It's kind of like watching a football game where the favorite has the tide turn and people are packing the parking lot to get home early. --Morenooso (talk) 15:53, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Looks like he asked to close the RFA. I wonder if he should have done that a couple of days ago when things started getting nasty. --Morenooso (talk) 20:15, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Complex issue. An unsuccessful RFA is as painful as losing any other political contest. He probably did not feel like having to look at the thing or may have just decided to give it a little longer and hope for the best. It's important to not give up too early, because these contests can swing wildly up to the last minute. I guess he just figures it's time. It's sad really, but I've learned to place greater faith in consensus than my own judgment. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 20:24, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

I guess you're right. Wednesday looked like a lock. Thursday the tide started to turn and then I guess you have to hope for the best. Still, I've gotten pretty good at estimating the number of Supports needed to get the mop. When the Opposes go about 45, it's going to take something spectular to swing the RFA. But, that's where your observation is keen that you should wait. It wasn't this Yogi who had nothing on this bear when he said, "It aint over til it's over." --Morenooso (talk) 20:42, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

That's what I wanted to know. As I see it, he's attributing someone else's work as his own-- he's attributing the screen shot as his own work when it is derived from Image:50-cent.jpg? How do you see it? Dlohcierekim 14:09, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Hard call - the licence summary does mention it includes the 50-cent image which is under a CC-BY-SA and he cleared up the issue of the Wikipedia logo at that RFA discussion section so I think it's just about okay licence wise. I'd personally not have made it but looks okay(ish). Pedro :  Chat  14:14, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Action for Children

Hi Dlohcierekim,

I work for Action for Children and am new to Wikipedia. We would like to improve our article as it is currently being randomly edited by many people, was classed as puffery (until I removed the classification -- naughty?) and is poorly written and structured. I have placed a request the talk page asking for help but wonder whether it would be possible to request that a volunteer editor reviews and edits the page. I am happy to provide sources and drafts. Please can you advise if this is possible and how/where to do it.

Teutonic vandal

Hi. Thanks for the revert of my talk page. I noticed that you blocked the guy for a week rather than indef. Not that I want to second guess you, but judging from this edit history plus his attempt to implicate an innocent German administrator on his now deleted user page, I'm pretty sure the perpetrator is the latest sock in a long string of such to cross the Rhine.

Hey

First, it's between me and idiot, so please don't get involved, ok?

I had added information to the Snopes article that I not only verified but then provided information on the talk page on how to do so. Instead of checking the talk page though, lazy idiot just hits revert and goes back to eating chips off his/her chest.

Unfortunately that seems to be all too common around here - I've read countless "bitching sessions" posted by other people added constructive and meaningful information, only to have some lazy jerk remove it on a whim without even bothering to see what it was.

Are you a wise man, or an idiot?

I have pointed out very clearly that the information I added is NOT opinion, it is easily verifiable FACT. Yet a pair of idiots keep reverting without cause, while claiming I am vandalizing. THEY are the ones vandalizing the article.

Check the talk page for Snopes, you'll see it's fact, not fiction.

It might have been better to back away from this one and let someone else deal with him/her. When people are this excited, they tend to act in ways we all regret. Never be afraid to say to yourself, "this person's anger is not my problem." Dlohcierekim 14:52, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

(ec) Hmmm, in this case i intentionally used a blank revert (Meaning no user warning) as i deemed this edit a good faith opinion. Frankly i don't really mind if a user is uncivil towards me for reverting an edit - it is understandable that no one really likes being reverted. (Though in this case i removed the message as it was just a bunch of swears.) Hence, i deem it completely understandable that a user might be rude or nonconstructive if he or she has just been warned, but if the same user decides to go to two more talk pages and repeat the same thing, i prefer having them blocked for a bit so they can cool down. I agree it could have gone better, and perhaps a 30-60 minute ban would have been sufficient in this case. Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 15:15, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

For a second i thought this edit messed up my talkpage somehow, as i became plagued with "Section does not exist" problems on each and every section - Oh. thanks for archiving my talkpage Miszabot!

As for the template, the current version is a LOT better then the previous warning (example). You don't want to know - or perhaps you already do - how many times AIAV was backlogged, and articles became plagued with text saying "Oh, banned on the next vandalism? Whats this? And this? and again?" Its one of the reasons i like Huggle so much, as it automatically sorts the edits based upon risk assessment. Previously warned users are inserted right on top, which means the reaction time is almost instant, and escape is impossible (IF they vandalize that is). Oh, and glad to take care of that vandal.

SO true. Huggle sounds like a big improvement over VandalProof. Cheers, good hunting. Dlohcierekim 14

Question

Hello

I would like you to ask you to express your opinion about the format that should be used for the localities from Romania where Hungarian has co-official status (where at least 20% of the population speaks Hungarian)

Variant 1. Romanian_Name (Hungarian: Hungarian_Name)
Variant 2. Romanian_Name (Hungarian: Hungarian_Name)
Variant 3. Romanian_Name or Hungarian_Name (Romanian: Romanian_Name; Hungarian: Hungarian_Name)
Variant 4. Romanian_Name(Romanian) or Hungarian_Name(Hungarian)

There are used different formats on different articles and I think it should exist a standard format used for all of them, in order not to create mess

Thanks in advance for your answer (Umumu (talk) 16:37, 24 March 2010 (UTC))

Variant 2. U R welcome. Dlohcierekim 16:44, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

No problem.

Let's see. I reverted the removal of cited material, writing, "take it to the talk page." Don't know if that happened. I don't see a big difference between the two versions here. I'm not sure what the Telegraph's reputation is for fact checking and so forth. If good, I'd prefer the more detailed version (personal nerdiness). That could be the wrong version from BLP standpoint. These seem to be two more versions, or rather user:Lawrencekhoo reinstated a different version from the one's I saw. Lawrencekhoo stated in an edit summary that he removed a BLP concern. BLP trumps all other considerations. How do these versions here address BLP concerns? The bottom line is, could someone be sued for libel for endorsing one version or another? That has happened to Wikipedists in the past. From that standpoint, the lower the emphasis on negative reporting, the lower the potential damage to the subject or another person, the better. I generally go for the version that would be less likely to injure someone, even if "reliably sourced." (I had the experience of being libeled by innuendo in a newspaper article locally. I called them on it and they retracted. This is a paper with a reputation for fact checking, and they got important details wrong. Whether on purpose or by neglect, I don't know. They apologized personally, and that was the end.) I have a strong feeling that "scandal: and controversy should be left to the newspapers, and given as brief a mention as possible. I would suggest that everyone discuss this thoroughly on the article talk. If necessary, it should go to the BLP noticeboard. Hope that helps. Dlohcierekim 19:32, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

I did not remove anything

I have just cut the section dealing with Ze'ev Schiff and pasted it as a sub section under the section - Selecting Sources. You can check it. Megaidler (talk) 14:17, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Only warning

I noticed that you have given an only warning to Chloej1996. I have removed this warning because this user only made 2 edits. Remember that it's not the just the severity of the vandalism, it's how many vandalism edits he/she makes. Minimac (talk) 17:33, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

No I meant it. see other talk. Dlohcierekim 17:36, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Insane Clown Posse

I s-protected for another three hours. The problem is that there's an overriding view that TFAs shouldn't be protected unless the vandalism is overwhelming, because the point is to showcase our best work, and that includes being able to edit it. If you want to change that, the place to start a discussion would be at WT:FAC, because it's Raul, the FA director, who is particularly against TFA protection. SlimVirgin ^{TALK contribs} 18:48, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

I know. I felt bad about having to protect it, and I know Raul is smarter than I am. We've done the right thing, though, as the vandalism has been overwhelming. This was my first involvement with the situation, and I imagine it's a subject that comes up perennially. Maybe I should drop Raul a note just to let him know that I protected, though.

Re: Martin Fröborg . . .

Another admin recommended using g4 instead of a7 for articles that I knew had been recreated. Sorry, I will now stick with a7 which I tagged the article with. --Morenooso (talk) 20:24, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

As I don't read Swedish, I cannot rule on whether or not it meets CSD#A7. Generally, it is not appropriate to delete articles in a foreign language when one cannot read them. I sent a note to the deleting admin. Has the page been translated? I'll check translation requests next. Dlohcierekim 20:28, 28 March 2010 (UTC).

Unknown as I am not an admin. All I know is I tagged it with {{notenglish}} because I feel the same way you do - foreign language articles should not be deleted because of the language difficulties. I can't remember how long it was after I put the translation request into the project that does that but I was dismayed that it quickly got SD'ed as a hoax. Although, I did feel that way because as per my edit summary, I follow the Lakers pretty intensely and had never heard of them picking up a person by this name. That's why after you declined g4, I went back to a7 as an SD of a potential hoax. --Morenooso (talk) 20:42, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. Now you see it, now you don't. viz-- this deletion history. Oh, the joys of Google translation. Far better than a babelfish hash would have been. I archived a translated version that made it all plain to see. Dlohcierekim 20:49, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

I caught it after I typed my second note here. Thanks for your quick action. --Morenooso (talk) 20:52, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

My pleasure. But reports of the page's demise are exaggerated. Dlohcierekim 20:54, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

I gave it the third pair of eyes you requested and zapped it again as hoax. Googling his name with "Lakers" turned up nothing - teenage fantasy, I guess. I gave him uw-create3. JohnCD (talk) 22:07, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

He probably did not need a create3 warning today. I assumed that this is the same user who created the initial article which is why I issued him a create2 - he had already received the standard SD warning in the other username. Could be a little overkill with the create3. --Morenooso (talk) 00:24, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

God damn it. You are absolutely right. Twinkle must have done that for me when I tagged the thing. Didn't see the 3 from John. I'll make sure the "notify user" button is not selected from now on. My user:dloh/d template said everything that needed to be said. On the other hand, he went on to create the thing again. And responded in Swedish on his talk page. I wonder how much he understands. I can guess at meanings by looking at cognates. Looks like, "I don't understand English," I bet he did not understand what was happening. Now he's blocked. Rats. 01:51, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

We all do boo-boos from time to time. For awhile while this was getting sorted on, I thought I was on a bad acid dream and I don't do drugs. --Morenooso (talk) 01:53, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

He got 5 "pleae stop!" warnings after mine. next time I'll run it through Google translater. Dlohcierekim 01:55, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

I wonder if he got those please stop messages because the admins were shaking out the status of the delete/translation/re-creation by re-creating it. That's what tripped me out. Other users must have thought This bad boy is at it again when in reality the admins were doing their duty. --Morenooso (talk) 02:02, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Nope. I was the only one to recreate and promptly deleted. Dlohcierekim 05:36, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

My response is at user talk:Jerzy#"(mostly aggressively alpha'd spam) " new term for me. Tnx.

Prince of Wied

I couldn't have known that just because something is derrogatory it was automatically found to be challenged just by itself. Anyway, there are not many sources about such a small Principality like Wied, but I'll try to find some. 194.38.128.26 (talk) 18:24, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

could you address my issues at Talk:Braess's_paradox

it could be a quite involved conspiracy, but could you address my issues there. Specifically, why would Dietrich Braess, who supposedly "discovered" this coincidentally communism-extolling paradox, redlink? I think this is obviously a fabrication, as it is absurd anyway. I could find no Reliable Source make any mention of this phenomenon. Please respond. 82.113.121.167 (talk) 01:37, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
