NYyankees51

Hey, I unblocked NYyankees51 (talk · contribs) on an extension of AGF on the conditions that he stick to that account (and only that account) and that he consent to regular CUs to make sure he's not taking the piss. Could you find the time to do a check at random intervals? Thanks, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts?

I'll do my best - my memory isn't the greatest in the world. I'll remove the timestamp from your sig so this doesn't archive. Now, what were we talking about? Waffles? TNXMan
I appreciate it! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts?

Complaint about you at WP:AN3

Hello Tnxman307. Please see WP:AN3#User:Tnxman307 reported by User:Stormstrike (Result: ). EdJohnston (talk) 00:48, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'll keep an eye on it- please let me know if my input is required (I'm not very familiar with AN3! :) ). TNXMan 12:20, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have closed the report. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:07, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting a block review

Please see User_talk:Mamikonian, as I would appreciate some further input from you over the checkuser information and if it is conclusive enough if there is IMHO little edit history corroboration. -- PBS (talk) 02:05, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I re-ran the check and can confirm that Harry Tudor (talk · contribs)=Konakonian (talk · contribs)=Mamikonian (talk · contribs)=SecondCrusader (talk · contribs)=LoveActresses (talk · contribs). I believe that Jpgordon, who is also a checkuser, confirmed this as well when he reviewed Harry Tudor's unblock request (just from looking at the checkuser logs, I have not spoken with him, though). I hope this helps. TNXMan 03:26, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. Just as a point of note, CBuilother isn't a registered account. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 02:48, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Thanks! TNXMan 03:18, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent Border Crossings edit...

Mr. T,

While I appreciate your vigilance, I think you've been a bit hasty in your editing of my modest article.

"Border Crossings" is a currently a stub, but has been slowly expanding, with references and links being added as supporting material becomes available. Most of the existing supporting information could be seen or heard by the readers themselves in the links you removed.

To address your concern about the inclusion of original research, let me assure you that I am in a unique position to report upon this subject, as I am a daily participant in the production of this very program. The original article was begun by a fan of Border Crossings, and a year later I took it over to provide more accurate information. And isn't that what Wikipedia is for?

The building of a credible Wikipedia article sometimes takes time, even in this "I want it right NOW" era, and I will be the first to admit that my formatting needs help. (I am but a humble writer and engineer.) So I really do welcome constructive changes and additions to this article, but I also really would have liked a heads-up before you decimated it.

I have restored the article and kindly ask you to let it be while it germinates, grows and becomes a full-bloomed Wiki entry.

Winch--KWWinch (talk) 00:30, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but Wikipedia only accepts material that is reliably sourced - that is, cited to independent third-party sources. We cannot accept original research. You should also note that it sounds like you have a conflict of interest with the subject. You should read our guide on what to do when you have a conflict of interest.

My signature

Why should my signature be wrong? I just copied it from my Dutch signature. If you can explain to me why it isn't allowed, then I'll change it. User:TBloemink/Signature 17:06, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Because images, such as a .svg file, are not permitted in signatures on the English Wikipedia (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 17:48, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It appears you are transcluding a template as your signature. Please note that this is not allowed. If you have any questions about changing your signature to be more in line with the correct usage, just drop me a line
Give me a link, on which page are signature rules about images? Well, I'll delete it, but I do not agree with it. TBloemink service desk 18:04, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind, found it. But about the template, that's weird, because on this wikipedia that is allowed, to minimize text on pages... TBloemink service desk 18:07, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Every project has its own rules and policies :-) Cheers! (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 18:44, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Bwilkins is correct on both counts - both images and templates are not permitted on the English Wikipedia. This doesn't mean your signature has to be boring, though! There are a lot of interesting signatures out there - you just have to be a little more creative when you make them. If you have questions about it, I'd be happy to help answer them.

On trustworthiness

Hello,

In the future please be aware that you can trust 99% of people to do what they say they're going to do. You can certainly trust me.

Indefinite block of Labidalove

While they were hardly behaving perfectly an indefinite block seems a little harsh and bitey. They hadn't even been given a level 3 warning, and while POV several of their edits looked to be in good faith. I was about to give them a level 2 warning for something. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 20:31, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And actually if you look at their edit times they hadn't been given a single warning until the same minute as their last edit, so they were essentially blocked without any warnings at all. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 20:35, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Their first three edits were this, this, and this. I see no reason to believe they were here for any other reason than to be disruptive. TNXMan 20:43, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Blocking new users (let alone indefinitely) without giving them any warnings at all isn't remotely fair. They cannot reasonably be expected to know the rules straight up. The first two edits are rather POV, but they may not realise that isn't appropriate, and the third could have been them getting confused about an edit conflict. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 20:48, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lila Rose

There is some edit-warring (and on 3RR) going on on this page and I would like to push the two doing it to the talkpage. Could you full-protect the article for 24 hours to push people to the talk page to talk it out? Thanks...Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:45, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like neither has edited the article since your warnings. I'll keep an eye on it to see what develops - further tug-of-war will result in protection and/or blocks. Thanks for catching this. TNXMan 20:50, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I would like to prevent the blocks of the editors as long as possible and go for protection. Looks like they are talking and I will monitor it as well. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:55, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wish the one user wouldn't have done this, but it might get settled by a block, see here. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:57, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

reliable source

I plan on adding content to this page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caravan_raids

regarding raids carried out by the islamic prophet muhammad.

i once used this book, but noticed reference to it was remove for 2 major reasons

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=FhjPV9mVnNEC&pg=PT10#v=onepage&q&f=false

1. I directly copied certian text from that book (leading to copyvio) 2. The author is not considered notable by some contributors.

I want to know whether i would be able to use the source (given above) as a reference for material or opinions i add?--Misconceptions2 (talk) 16:48, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Princedj485

Hey. Sorry to bug you, but you listed two accounts, Wind Convergence and PhillipinesUSA - but those aren't accounts. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 04:14, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, as always, for catching that. "Wind Convergence" was the name of one of the articles involved. TNXMan 12:28, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock 82.230.146.52

Requesting advice on how to handle a editor who is making off-topic disparaging remarks

I do appreciate any advice you can offer. A while back I was blocked by another admin, and you reviewed the case and overturned the block, with a caution to take care to avoid edit war situations, which I have diligently observed (see Talk:Taco Bell).

My issue is this, we're discussing a move of the Jared Lee Loughner page to just Jared Loughner (discussion link). Everyone in the discussion has for the most part been very considerate, but a certain editor, Mr.grantevans2, has decided suddenly to mention the block incident, and is suggesting "that is worth taking into consideration when evaluating your opinions within this dialogue and maybe 1 or 2 other Editors might want to know about it as well".

In essence, its being used as a tool to cast me in a bad light. I honesty don't see how it is relevant at this point. Yes, it is on my Talk page, but my feedback and explanations are there also, so I don't mind, because it gives context to the incident. To simply throw it into the middle of a name change discussion without context seems wrong to me.

I'm not very familiar with how to lodge a complaint, and I've been reviewing the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution page, but I really just want to get things back on topic and hopefully get this editor to understand that ad hominem attacks are not the right approach. I can't help that I was a bit ignorant of the Wikipedia convention, and made a mistake, but that shouldn't mean that I have to defend myself at every turn against an honest mistake. I am much more careful now, and I think the issue is settled.

Like I said at first, I would appreciate any advice you can give on how to deal with this situation. I don't want to do anything that will escalate the problem, I just want to be able to discuss the issues at hand, not personal attacks. -- Avanu (talk) 17:58, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Update - I found the Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts page and made a similar request there and a nice editor helped out. I hope things are well with you. I'm glad we have so many helpful people in Wikipedia. -- Avanu (talk) 04:31, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Digital Fuel, section deleted

Hi Tnxman307, I'm contacting you regarding the deletion you made on Digital Fuels Article. We are talking about a company page, that is the reason I undesrtand It should also provide information about the activity and the products the company provides, to make it more relevant and complete.
