New woman, same old tricksI couldn't resist the section heading, heh. New woman (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), who you blocked yesterday, has been abusing their talk page access by continuing to post random messages completely unrelated to the encyclopedia. This has been accompanied by using the {{help me}} template, which is disruptive. Could you look into possibly removing talk page access? Thanks! ~ RobTalk 08:46, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
LeonRaperEveryone at Wikipedia keeps giving me the BS about web links. Guess what, my real business is Vegas88.com. For over 40 years I have been booking TV and film stars all over the U.S. and Canada into personal appearance events. I have been using Wikipedia for many years to find out how to contact these people. Wikipedia lists their personal web site. links to imdb.com, and sometimes many other contact links. I was also a Talent Agent in Beverly Hills for 10 years. Dance is not my business. I do it for enjoyment and to help other dancers find dance information. Regarding my proposed Wikipedia page. I don't think you read it. In my most recent submission there are no links to click on. Also, you said I needed to provide information that others have provided about me.

My primary argument would revolve around the fact that the talk page ban was not part of the original proposal and that many of the votes had already been cast by the time the talk page ban was proposed, thus only a handful of the support votes were actually in favor of the talk page ban. My secondary arguments would specify that the talk page ban should never have been proposed in the first place since talk pages are not part of Wikipedia's encyclopedic content, but exist rather for suggesting improvements and every single one of my disambiguation talk page contributions contained lengthy suggestions for improvements. Also, none violated talk page etiquette (copyright violations, incivility, etc). I would like to present a detailed point-by-point argumentation as to the reasons that the talk page ban is contrary to the spirit of Wikipedia and ask for its rescission. Although it was not at issue, I realize that you mentioned overlength of argumentation as one of the problems, which I will keep in mind. I would appreciate any help in providing a link to the proper Wikipedia venue where the disambiguation talk page ban may be appealed. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 23:27, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
I've sent you an email so we can coordinate the close on the draft RfC between the three of us. Seraphimblade Talk to me 20:44, 9 May 2016 (UTC) My RfPP requestsWhy did you configure pending changes for the pages I requested? The sockpuppets in question are those of The UPN Vandal. Pending changes will NOT stop him from editing the pages, and if page protection expires, it's just an "alarm clock" for him to continue editing again, which is why I requested indefinite semi-protection - to prevent him from editing the pages at all.

Please comment on Talk:Salim MehajerThe feedback request service is asking for participation in this request for comment on Talk:Salim Mehajer.

RollbackHi, thanks for accepting my request for rollback. I have one question if you don't mind: When I click the Rollback button, it says that the edit has been completed without letting me see the edit or putting in an edit summary. I tried to read WP:Rollback, but couldn't find the answer (unless I missed it). I'm pretty sure you can still add an edit summary with rollback as I think I've seen it before. Thanks for the help.

Raper dance awarddid he ever mention the existence of this video? enough to list him in that article? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3cJ7wm7sTg68.48.241.158 (talk) 23:50, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
Admin helpHello there! Thank you for taking the time to review my request. I'm afraid, however, that it's quite possible none of the parties involved will be satisfied with such an assessment. The RfC was not heeded and its closure was put into question. What do you suggest we do? As I see it, either the RfC is void or it isn't. Thanks again for your counsel. Best, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 01:07, 18 May 2016 (UTC) World Wide WebHi krakatoaKatie, I would like not to participate in a edit-war, But look at the last edit from EthelDavis, no reference only an opinion. The document there https://www.w3.org/Proposal.html shows the proposal, and it is clearly firmed by Tim Berneres-Lee and Roberts Cailliau. Why should I not modify an article based on thrust full sources, when people change it only based on personal opinion? Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bongo76 (talk • contribs) 12:38, 18 May 2016 (UTC) World Wide WebHello there! I have added information to the Talk Page on the World Wide Web and reverted a revision which rendered the article inaccurate. In point of fact, Robert Cailliau was the first callaborator on Tim Berners Lee's World Wide Web project - http://home.cern/images/2014/02/robert-cailliau-web-pioneer, but not a co-inventor. This information comes from the CERN website, the place where the invention took place in 1989 - http://home.cern/topics/birth-web . This issue has arisen before, and creates some confusion, but I have stated on the Talk Page that Wiki policy states that sources must be reliable. It is so easy to find inaccurate information on the Web! I hope this solves the problem on the page. (Etheldavis (talk) 13:23, 18 May 2016 (UTC)) I am sorry but you are wrong, My information come from reliable source. The Formal proposal of the World Wide Web hosted on the W3 org is firmed by Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau, The site of the CERN saies that the proposal was submitted by the pair of them. The modification of the website made by Ehteldavis made the article being inacurate, but also incoherent with the content of the article. Finally I think that when an article is in revision for Edit-War, at least the part that is investigated should not be modified. Bongo76 (talk) 14:01, 18 May 2016 (UTC) The site states that the second proposal was submitted by Bernes-Lee and Cailliou, but that Cailliou was Berners-Lee's first collaborator and not co-inventor. I have already provided links for that. The World Wide Web was invented by Berners-Lee - http://home.cern/topics/birth-web and http://home.cern/about/updates/2014/03/world-wide-web-born-cern-25-years-ago. The second proposal, which refined and honed it to some degree, was post-invention. Television has been greatly refined and honed since its initial invention! (Etheldavis (talk) 14:09, 18 May 2016 (UTC))
I'm terribly sorry to have troubled you. I noted that you had intervened on the page and, as the Talk Page discussion seemed to be generating more heat than light, sought your help. This did not actually begin as a dispute between myself and the other editor. There was an evident problem when I looked at the article, Talk Page and Page History today. I simply intervened as I happen to have studied the development of the Web and have read all the details on the CERN and other sites. Thanks again. (Etheldavis (talk) 14:38, 18 May 2016 (UTC))
(Etheldavis (talk) 14:54, 18 May 2016 (UTC)) I am sorry for publishing on your wall and agree it is not the good place for this kind of discussion, and I ask your pardon for what I am going to write: I just want people to realize something here ... if you see what :@Etheldavis: did here ... it is called manipulation! He is not really sorry for having troubled you, if he was he will only have to write "I am terribly sorry to have trouble you, I will try not to do it again." But he wanted to justify his self : "I noted that you had intervened on the page and, as the Talk Page discussion seemed to be generating more heat than light, sought your help", And then wanted to try to proof he his right "There was an evident problem when I looked at the article, Talk Page and Page History today" (meaning :"I disagree with what other write".) And finally trying to force people giving him reason : "I happen to have studied the development of the Web and have read all the details on the CERN and other sites" (Meaning :"I have the absolute truth"). So sorry against for what I have done before and just now, I will try not to do it again. Bongo76 (talk) 15:06, 18 May 2016 (UTC) A barnstar for you!
