Hi,

User Russian.science (talk · contribs) is still reverting edits to the Andre Geim article. Personally, it seems like pure vandalism/trolling, the guy has no other edits, and does enter into any discussions. I gave him/her a level 2 "unsourced info." warning, but this may not be enough. In any case, your co-operation may be required in the future.--Therexbanner (talk) 22:42, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I'll keep an eye on him/her. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:49, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Bitgle

Hello,
Why did you delete the Bitgle article?
Why don't you delete also articles like Torrentz???
They talk about similar tools, so I don't understand what's wrong!
Thanks

(talk page stalker). Just because something exists doesn't mean it should. The page on Bitgle would need to meet notability requirements for web pages. While no means a definitive measure of notabilty, the Alexa ranking of 3,583,238 (compared to 160 for Torrentz) is likely to indicate that this site is nowhere near as notable so should not have a page on Wikipedia.

Update

Hi! Wondering what's the status left on the FLC of Ciara discography? Candyo32 00:53, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm waiting for all of the reviewers to comment on the source reliability issues raised by Courcelles. Have you asked Adabow (talk · contribs), Chasewc91 (talk · contribs), and The Rambling Man (talk · contribs) to look at them? Dabomb87 (talk) 01:44, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

I'll check in with them. Candyo32 02:12, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks to Adabow, it is a known reliable source used for the item in question. Candyo32 03:25, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

OK. Have you asked Courcelles to revisit now? Dabomb87 (talk) 21:09, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Going to ASAP. Candyo32 22:57, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Re: Name change

Hello Dabomb87. I have a quick question. When looking here, I see that one featured list I nominated is credited to Whataworld06, my former username. I am assuming this list is compiled by a bot. Is there any way instances of "Whataworld06" could be replaced with "Another Believer" here (instead of a re-direct) so that credit can be transferred to my current account. I have no intentions of changing my username again. Just thought I would ask. --Another Believer _(Talk) 15:38, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Done. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:08, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Fantastic! Thank you so much! --Another Believer _(Talk) 21:15, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey D. Just a quick note to let you know that I'll be unavailable from tomorrow morning (e.g. 1100 GMT) until Monday (around 0800 GMT), then off again as of Tuesday (around 1600 GMT) until the following Monday. First bit is a weekend sans internet, second bit is being abroad sans internet. As per normal, I hope there's nothing going through FLC that I haven't had a chance to look at. If there is, then of course I trust your judgement (I'm sure you would have nudged me if that was the case, anyway!). But hopefully in a week or so I'll be able to get back on FLC full-time for a couple of days a week. Much love. The Rambling Man (talk) 23:30, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

No problem; I should be able to take care of things. Have fun. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:54, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Paul Mauffray

Hi, I am having trouble with vandalism. I am currently a Full-time contracted Associate Instructor in Opera at Indiana University, and apparently one of the students here finds it amusing to change my wiki page listing me as an undergraduate band student or even a janitor. This is especially troublesome because I am currently applying for positions at other universities, and when people reviewing my applications look me up on the internet it is most likely that they will view these discrediting words. What makes this also disconcerting is that the person making these changes seems to be listed as an anonymous guest user. Or can you help me to find out who this was by their ip addresses? I have also just noticed that the ip user who made these slanderous changes has also previous made changes to the bio of another living musician, Bill Watrous, and the history of his entry indicates that Mr. Watrous also had to immediately reverse the change that this unknown ip address user made. Please help us avoid these vandals! thank you, Paul Paulmauf (talk) 16:16, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Paul, I'll reply to you in bulleted form:

• The vandalism by other editors is indeed problematic. I've placed the article on my watchlist (you should too, if you haven't already) so that I can quickly spot and revert such edits.
• I'm unable to identify the vandals by their IP addresses. Very few editors can, for privacy reasons.
• Thanks for alerting to the other disruptive edit. Unfortunately, I cannot block the IP because he/she seems to be a hit-and-run vandal, which means a block will have little effect.

Let me know if you have any other questions or requests. Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 17:23, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

You don't need my "permission" to edit anything, as nobody owns articles. What's important is that you can cite a reliable source for your statement. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:12, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you but i don't know what to do when I'm done making my changes it asks me to make a summary what should i mention in that large text box?
