Did I wrongly revert your good edit? If so please alert me and please explain why it wasn't vandalism (be civil! and assume good faith). If the edit summary summary ends with (GLOO) I am using a program called Igloo and have to make a decision very quickly if it's vandalism or not. I AM HUMAN!!
Did I revert your vandalism? If so don't humor yourself by vandalizing this page. People will revert it and you will be one step closer to be blocked. |

Reviewer permission
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Wikipedia_Reviewer.svg/130px-Wikipedia_Reviewer.svg.png)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:11, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
Rollback
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Wikipedia_Rollback.svg/104px-Wikipedia_Rollback.svg.png)
Hello, per your request, I've granted you Rollback rights! Just remember:
- Rollback gives you access to certain scripts, including Huggle and Igloo, some of which can be very powerful, so exercise caution
- Rollback is only for blatant vandalism
- Having Rollback rights does not give you any special status or authority
- Misuse of Rollback can lead to its removal by any administrator
- Please read Help:Reverting and Wikipedia:Rollback feature to get to know the workings of the feature
- You can test Rollback at Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback
- You may wish to display the {{User wikipedia/rollback}} userbox and/or the {{Rollback}} top icon on your user page
- If you have any questions, please do let me know.
--HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:12, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks!! Gfoley4 (talk) 16:17, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
- I hope you will use rollback carefully: see [1], though I think you made up for it with [2]. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 02:01, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
Don Albert & Partners/use of rollback
Could you please explain your use of rollback here to revert the extensive edits by an IP editor at Don Albert & Partners? I could be missing something but it appeared to me that these edits were a good faith attempt to improve the article by addressing problems that had been identified by other editors, most notably a lack of in-line citations. I did not necessarily agree with all the edits but I was waiting until the IP editor had finished xer edits to review them. It seems clear to me that these edits were not vandalism and thus not appropriate for rollback. If I am missing something, please let me know, otherwise I'd suggest that you undo your use of rollback. Best, --Arxiloxos (talk) 04:15, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

User Warnings
When adding a warning template to a user page, it is advisable that you follow the following protocols:
1. Use sequential warnings (ie. don't skip right to level four after three violations) 2. Ensure warnings are appropriate 3. Use Level 4 IM (only warning) only in the most severe cases of vandalism, or when and editor resumes vandalizing soon after release of a block.
Sorry for the nitpicking, but we can't get a vandal blocked unless four warnings are issued and the vandal continues, it's a lot like police work, the vandals can get off on a technicality if we don't nitpick.

Hey do you have any idea on why Google Maps shows Second Ave as Second Ave - Lower East Side - 2nd Ave?--iGeMiNix/What's up?/My Stuff 03:32, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
- Ya I see that too. I have no clue. Gfoley4 | Need to chat? My track record 03:39, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
- Well, Acps filed a report, so I guess we are good with that for awhile. Btw do you have any idea on the current track configuration of Kings Highway on the Brighton Line atm?--iGeMiNix/What's up?/My Stuff 02:38, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- Wow that page has got to be at the top of the confusion meter but with the help of Bing Maps I hopefully can help. So all southbound trains travel on the southbound express track & exit passengers on an extension of the Northbound platform (the Southbound platform is closed). That extension is over the Northbound express track. Northbound trains travel on the Northbound local track (far east) and exit passengers on the Northbound platform. So really there is 2 tracks and 1 big island platform in service. You might want to ask Acps110 for a better explanation but hopefully I helped Gfoley4 | Need to chat?

Dr. Harvey Silverman page - needed to have delete history hidden
Hi Gfoley4,
I'm amazed at how quickly people in Wikipedia respond to updates. I'm trying to blank the page Dr. Harvey Silverman. His original bio page was deleted for being self-promoting, and had some uncomplimentary comments attached in a big red box. When a prospective client found that page, they were a little uncomfortable about working with him, thinking that being deleted from the Wikipedia indicated a lack of credibility. I'm honestly not trying to annoy or mess up the Wikipedia, I'm just trying to eliminate any potential damage to his reputation. And yes, I DID try to convince him not to put up a page, but when he was mentioned in an article about Dental Spas, he thought that gave him enough credibility to put up his own article. So now, I've removed the link that led to his defunct page from the Washington University Alumni page, and also from the Dental Spa page, and hopefully that will keep anyone from stumbling upon it. I tried using that courtesy-blanking template, but it still says that the page was deleted. Is a normal person like me allowed to put up just an Intentionally blank page? I'm sorry to be such a dummy, but this was the first (and LAST) article I've done for a person on Wikipedia. Thank you for your help, Lmitro2010 (talk) 20:08, 3 October 2010 (UTC)lmitro2010

Edit to "Alan Ludden" and "Betty White"
You reverted a single word edit I made to "Betty White" Bio. Allan Ludden, her spouse, did not die of stomach cancer. He died of bladder cancer and I edited accordingly. This is confirmed by an interview given by Betty White to James Lipton on Inside the Actors Studio in September 2010. "How did he die?" "Bladder cancer" was her response. Coming from the widow's mouth, I'm not sure how clear it could be, and cannot fathom why this change from "stomach" to "bladder" is considered "not constructive." Confusing! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.137.150.81 (talk) 03:22, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- I confess I didn't look at the link! I'm no doctor but I truly never heard of someone having bladder cancer until now so you could see why I marked it as vandalism. Gfoley4 | Need to chat? My track record 04:18, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
