List of Arab scientists and scholars

Hi, I am the creator of this article List of Arab scientists and scholars, and the one who contriubted most of it. You protected now the article. The article was stable, until this edit was made [1]. So, can you please revert it to this stable version [2] or at least to the version of the adminstrator User:Alex_Bakharev, [3]. Thank you...Jidan 00:18, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, please take note that User:Jidan is himself a party to the dispute, please see Talk:List_of_Arab_scientists_and_scholars#Disclaimer about the dispute and how most of the users are in disagreement with User:Jidan who is ignoring WP:OWN.The_Wrong_Version might be of interest here too. Regards. --ManiF 00:27, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Smile!

Farosdaughter has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!

I saw your userpage has been vandalized 46 times so I wanted to put something nice on it instead! Have a nice day :D Farosdaughter 00:39, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

sysop

Congrats on becoming a sysop! I would have done this sooner, but I didn't know. I don't have any doubts, by the way. Congrats. --Randfan 02:18, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

help with stubborn editor

Sorry to bother you. But is there anything that can be done about this User:Scorpion0422? He refuses to cite sources for his edits and removes every fact tag I put on things, please look at his edit summaries for South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut or just about any Simpsons or South Park episode article. He is not vandalizing, just being a dick and I don't want to editwar with him any longer but his blatant disregard for one of the most important policies here has got to stop. Is there a place to report such recalcitrance? Cheers. L0b0t 03:18, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't remove every tag. Just the ones that are ridiculous. Such as asking that I source the death of a person. All one has to do to confirm this is go to their page. I'm a strong believer in the do it yourself policy and since you want sources on some stuff (and there are a lot more disutable facts that you don't ask for sources for) I think you should be the one that has to find them. Otherwise, stop being so cloweminded and stubborn about your edits. Would you require a source that said Abraham Lincoln had been assasinated or that Kurt Cobain committed suicide? No. Your the one who comes into random pages that I have long been editing and practically clearing house of everything then refusing to allow anything back in. -- Scorpion0422 03:23, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You have to provide sources for your edits. That's the whole point of Wikipedia. People expect that Wikipedia is a reliable source, and without any other external references, how on Earth can they actually know what is made up and what isn't? Adding unsourced information to pages has been proven very detrimental to Wikipedia. See John Seigenthaler Sr. Wikipedia biography controversy. I'm assuming you know what you're talking about when you make those edits to SP:BLU, but would it kill you to add references so inexperienced users would actually know where the material came from? L0b0t is only asking for references in places where references are needed. He is not trying to purposely attack you or anything. Also, you kept saying that someone could just click external links. I doubt all of those external links actually provide references for all the material in the article. Just please follow the format for adding references, and the whole situation will be resolved. Thanks. Nishkid 64 19:14, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfA Thanks

Thank you for the Support

I'd like to express my huge thanks to you, Nishkid64, for your support in my recent RfA, which closed with 100% support at 71/0/1. Needless to say, I am very suprised at the huge levels of support I've seen on my RfA, and at the fact that I only had give three answers, unlike many other nominees who have had many, many more questions! I'll be careful with my use of the tools, and invite you to tell me off if I do something wrong! Thanks, M a rtinp23 14:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC) [reply]

Café Crème

Hi

On 30 October you deleted an article entitled "Café Crème" created by user PrincessBrat. I am trying to find a record of the AfD discussion and vote on this article but cannot locate it. Can you help? Thanks. Cristien Nikolas 17:23, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article was speedy deleted under CSD G11, which states that an article used to endorse or advertise a company or product can be deleted immediately. That's why it didn't go through AfD. If articles are deleted under "CSD..." then that means there was usually no AfD for the article (unless it's CSD G4 which says an article can be deleted if it is recreated after an AfD consensus of delete had been reached). I know it's all confusing, so I suggest just taking a look at WP:CSD instead of listening to my drivel lol. Nishkid 64 18:53, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your support!

A week ago I nominated myself, hoping to be able to help Wikipedia as an administrator as much as a WikiGnome. I am very glad many others shared my thoughts, including you. Thank you for your trust! Be sure I will use these tools to protect and prevent and not to harass or punish. Should you feel I am overreacting, pat me so that I can correct myself. I will take your advice, and whenever I have doubts, I will ask for suggestions before acting. Mistakes can be solved, but it is better to prevent them when possible. Thanks again for your support!

WikiProject Munich

Would you be interested in helping out atWikiProject Munich? Kingjeff 21:29, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter how much you know. Do you know any of Wikipedia policies? Maybe you could help Munich-related articles comform to Wikipedia policy. Kingjeff 21:34, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think I'm missing anything on WikiProject Munich page? Kingjeff 21:55, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tourette syndrome

Thanks for protecting Tourette syndrome, but I'm curious about why you felt it was necessary: vandal watchers have done a very good job of staying on top of the vandalism, and it hadn't been vandalized recently. I believe the article is OK without protection, because so many eyes are watching it. Regards, Sandy (Talk) 21:35, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

True, but none of the IP edits have been productive. Protecting the page will save people some time. And by the way, see WP:RFPP; the page was requested for protection there by Michaelas10. Nishkid 64 21:41, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I left a note there: an unfortunate and unneeded protection, IMO. Thanks for the help, Sandy (Talk) 21:42, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Hey, could you please fully-protect Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus? Thanks! Khoikhoi 22:01, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again, Khoikhoi 22:07, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, one more: Mashallah. Khoikhoi 22:30, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

:-) Khoikhoi 22:44, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, it's no big deal. It's not like I would've edited the page after it was protected (I know the rules). Khoikhoi 23:19, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Protection of Tourette syndrome

Hi Nishkid. There's a request here to unprotect Tourette syndrome which you protected. The requesting user, Sandy, is a regular editor of this article, and so would probably know if protection is necessary. Could you have a look? Thanks. --Majorly (Talk) 23:36, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I know. Sandy was already talking to me about why I protected the page. I personally don't want to handle it, since I was the one who originally protected the page; so I'll let some other admin deal with it. Nishkid 64 00:05, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I going to decline it, but apparently Majorly already unprotected it. Heh. Khoikhoi 00:16, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I unprotected it... I'll keep a close eye on it :) --Majorly (Talk) 00:23, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to barge in here again, but wanted to thank everyone, and also to let you all know that last week may have been particularly bad because I was traveling, had very limited internet access, and was unable to do my share of vandal reverts. If you watch it for some time, you'll notice that vandalism comes in spurts, and often dies out for very long periods of time - so far, nothing I can't handle. Regards, Sandy (Talk) 05:13, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal discussion

I responded on my talk page. - Jmabel | Talk 00:53, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, that user is on my watchlist now, and I will look over them. My philosophy is that we try to promote editing activity by anons and users alike. I feel that blocking anon IP's really isn't justified, as it may be a household computer, and one person in the family might be vandalizing, while another might actually want to contribute. Not everyone is so technologically advanced to realize that they could ask an admin for help. To prevent these situations from ever occurring, I tend to go with long-term blocks instead of indefinite blocks. Nishkid 64 00:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your approach, Nishkid64. --SunStar Net 00:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please do my editor review for me - Wikipedia:Editor review/SunStar Net. I'd appreciate that! --SunStar Net 01:05, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! --SunStar Net 01:08, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
