Hello

Hello, long time no talk.  Nhl4hamilton | Chit-Chat  01:24, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Peer approval

Nicely done. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:26, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aw, thanks! But I was only tagging along with your great response. ... discospinster talk 15:28, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Advice needed

Hi there, hope you are still online and can advice me on a particularly sticky issue here.

I am the subject of a persistent harasser (is that the word?) on both my user and discussion page, you will know once you check the history of both after reading this message. In my own words, this is what happened and was posted by me @ ANI:

My statement to User:ㄏㄨㄤㄉㄧ

Let me state this clearly here, I tagged your discussion page twice (how covenient of you to delete this part prior to tagging me a sockpuppet due to my tagging of you as one!) with regards to some controversial un-referenced minor edits (can be easily interpret as hoaxes which I did tagged you for) which you've made prior to this confrontational episode, informing you that it is against wiki-policy to add original research materials into any article that could be construed as being biased and not upholding the WP:NPOV during editing. I did not at any stage call you a racist although your actions speaks clearly of your intent.

Next issue was your username, which we all felt was really not in compliance with English Wikipedia's policy on Usernames so I tag you again but your reply was this "i dont enjoy having to copy and paste my username instead of typing it. i ws just trying out a new account with a weird name.ㄏㄨㄤㄉㄧ (talk) 20:22, 2 October 2008 (UTC)".

This effectively resulted in me tagging you as a sockpuppet since you have already admitted to it and wouldn't even consider about how best to salvage the situation, thereby testing our patience with you which was already wearing thin. Your reply to me was a counter-accusation of me being a sockpuppet of another David and anon IP 122.105.149.69 (that IP is from Optus NSW Sydney Australia while mine simply reads as Qala Singapore) based solely on the evidence that my user page is the same as them having the exact same words: This page intentionally left blank., that effectively becomes your factless claim and false accusation which I don't believe any sane and level headed admin would even close an eye to, given that they have been rather patient dealing with you prior to this confrontational episode. --Dave1185 (talk) 23:15, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Currently, he has login as another user User:Nefbmn and has continue to harassed me in the same manner as before but he has since been blocked about 10 mins back. I need to clear my name now as he had did a tit-for-tat retaliation by tagging me as a sockpuppet and reported me here as a last ditch attempt to tarnish my username. Please advice me on the next appropriate course to undertake... Thanks! --Dave1185 (talk) 01:11, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't vandalism. I was unable to find the article she stated it in so I instead used an article in which she was quoted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.138.61.208 (talk) 01:15, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's a lot of articles that list famous people's hobbies and interests. How is this any different?

Also not vandalism as I am noted as an Alum. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.138.61.208 (talk) 01:19, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a noted writer, and musician among other things and am still highly thought of by many in the StFX faculty. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.138.61.208 (talk) 01:40, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm curious what the reason was for the speedy deletion of Dominic Luciano. It seems to be a G7. Yet all I see in support of that is the following exchange between me and the creator at AfD:

  • Delete and Salt. No evidence of passing WP:MUSIC. AndyJones (talk) 10:29, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Then quit screwing around and delete it already.--Quixotic92 (talk) 17:00, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Was there anything more? Did the creator blank the page, or add a {db} tag, or request deletion elsewhere?

I'm by no means saying the conclusion is wrong - of course the page should be deleted. I just wanted to know what the rationale is. One angry comment like the above doesn't really seem evidence of a wish to see the page deleted, particlulary bearing in mind the ongoing pro-article rant from him and his friends (or meatpuppets or sockpuppets) at the AfD page.

This is just my 2p worth. I've no intention of following this up in any way (and DRV would be pointless): it's just that if it had been my call I would have let the AfD run its course: give the guy a fair hearing, let him blow off some steam, demonstrate that we do follow a process even with difficult users. AndyJones (talk) 07:12, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Replied on your talk page. ... discospinster talk 02:25, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I have noted your action in respect of deletion of the article about Deltec Precision Audio because of blatant advertising under this entry. As you know, the act of advertising is to attract the public attention to a product or business which is not the act that I or Wikipedia is trying to do.

What I was/am trying to do is to clearly show, with input from other, that Deltec Precision Audio was a truly innovative company and was a leader in the development of techology in the HiFi world, with contribution as great as Linn, Naim, KEF, etc.

Can you provide me with the information that shows that Deltec Precision Audio was not one of the true innovators in modern Hifi design?

I have re-read the guides that have been provide and will endeavor to provide it in an acceptable tone and manner to Wikipedia when I re-create the entry shortly.

79.79.47.40 (talk) 15:03, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The page was not written in an encyclopedic tone - there were sentences like "It reaches these goals through radical design, engineering excellence and precision manufacturing. They engage directly with their discerning customers for sales and service, both nationally and internationally." There were also no reliable sources that indicated their leadership role in HiFi development. One references was the company's own web page, and the other was some guys who just wanted to write about it. There needs to be more sources, and the article must be written without sounding like a mission statement. ... discospinster talk 02:24, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:AndyJones advised that you might be willing/able to drop a copy of the deleted article in my workspace here: User:MichaelQSchmidt/sandbox Dominic Luciano. I missed out on all the drama from the author to those commenting at the AfD(s), but the author... even through all his rancour... did manage to come up with one decent source. I think there may be more, but would like to see what assertions he had made and how the article might (if possible) be made encyclopedic. Thank you, Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 20:06, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. ... discospinster talk 02:14, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just got home and got the package. I appreciate your courtesy. I will see if some judicious trimnming (call it sandblasting} and citing might make it encyclopedic and worthy of Wiki. I hope I might ask your input if and or when I am ready to submit it. Thank you, Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 04:23, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please restore history of National Museum of Patriotism

You deleted an earlier version of National Museum of Patriotism. The article has been recreated as an NPOV stub. Could you please restore its history in case something useful can be extracted from the deleted versions? -- Eastmain (talk) 18:18, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting article to remove a couple of revisions

It really isn't necessary to do this ... these revisions aren't harming anything, but what you're doing when you delete pages with larger histories is slowing things down and causing database locks. - Rjd0060 (talk) 03:17, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello? Is this thing on? ......... - Rjd0060 (talk) 03:26, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop, as Rjd0060 requested... you are indeed causing database locks, the software is not designed for this. If sensitive information is in the revisions, request oversight, but please stop selective deleting en masse. krimpet 03:27, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a discussion of this issue I would be glad to read it. ... discospinster talk 03:36, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This Bugzilla bug gives a general outline. I assure you, as a MediaWiki developer, that deleting and restoring huge pages is a very resource-intensive operation that should be used very sparingly. krimpet 03:50, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am aware that the action is resource-intensive. I was thinking more along the lines of a general Wikipedian discussion rather than a technical one. ... discospinster talk 03:56, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just a general comment: revision (and log!) deletion is being tested at the test Wikipedia right now. Let's all be part of the solution, rather than bicker at each other. :-) Head over there, ask for +sysop, and try to break some things so that we can hopefully get the feature enabled on all WMF wikis when it's been proven bug-free. --MZMcBride (talk) 18:32, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The only editors that have created any article called Beverly Hills Kids and Teens (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (which you have to trust me doesn't exist) are Alicia.Payan and FanRachel2. 200.88.94.136 managed to create Talk:Beverly Hills Kids and Teens (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs), which apparently has been recreated multiple times by anons.

A query on a deleted page

The creator of the page on author "Joan Leslie Woodruff" has apparently deleted the material there, which was marginally informative at best. On further research, there may be some literary merit involved and Woodruff's books are sold on Amazon. What would be required to avoid the deletion in order to establish a more comprehensive biography and bibliography??

Christina Mendez

Whoa! Thanks for telling me about that one. The problem was that the "Current username" box had a lowercase "carlos5053" instead of an uppercase one. Logs show that the rename has occurred, but since lowercase usernames are impossible the rename does not actually create the other username. It's a very odd bug. It's fixed now; I deleted the redirects your move back created so that their userpage and usertalk would be moved there, then renamed with the right username. Thanks for alerting me! bibliomaniac15 03:19, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Immortal Game (disambiguation) was effectively boldly merged [1] to a section of Immortal Game. Shouldn't the original have been redirected with intact page history for GFDL purposes, or is the merged content too trivial? I don't think a redirect would hurt anything, and it would make it easier for non-admins to recreate a disambiguation page if some of the other entries get articles.

When someone uses bad language (ie. bigotry) could you please be a little bit more heavy handed?

Jab843 --Jab843 (talk) 23:51, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do look at the edits, but it's up to the discretion of the reverter as to what level of warning to give. I've found that sometimes even a level 1 edit is enough to get them to stop. But I guess it depends on what kind of mood I'm in. ... discospinster talk 23:52, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reason to include article on Dookhee Gungah

Dookhee Gungah is an integral part of Mauritian history that has been too often ignored. He was above all a benefactor and philanthropist and served as an example to many Indo-Mauritians in his time, in the early 1900s. Amidst the British colonial rule in Mauritius at that time, he managed to overcome a lot of hardship and opposition. He ran several schools at a time when the concept of free education was unheard of. He owned several businesses thus given a chance to many people to find employment. However, he was revered as a generous entrepreneur, a visionary and benevolent individual. He encouraged women to learn, be independent and run their own businesses; in the traditionally conservative indian culture this was new to many indentured laborers in Mauritius. He gave generously to all social/cultural organisations, to build temples, to organize meetings and functions for pilgrims, to provide for food, clothes and shelter at his own expense.

He was, on his own, an institution and an exemplary figure who inspired other indo-mauritian to take the cause he stood for further. He was even known in South Africa. There are letters to prove that he served as an example when it came to running schools for Hindus. His achievements are too many to summarize in this note. This is why we need to expand on this illustrious personality so that his story does not get lost in the pages of history.

Hello, I saw your name in recent changes and it looks like you are an administrator. I looked at Bible belt and there was an anonymous user who made a valid edit but also made what seems to me intended as an insult against Barack Obama ("remove NC, voted for Hussein"). Yes, Hussein is his middle name, but I get the feeling that the only people who emphasize it are people who don't like the guy. So, two questions:

1. Is this something that should be acted upon?, and

2. If so, is there a way to get rid of the edit summary?

Stay Away is the website of one of the producers working on the film. The youtube video is our first teaser. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sgtcheer (talkcontribs) 04:08, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

iheart, iHeart, IHeart, and others

Hi,

It seems like this editor is very tenacious. Would you consider a block? Thanks so much for your time and help. --digitalmischief (talk) 03:16, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

actually there are 2 editors working in tandem: 71.164.234.62 and EWbob. Thanks again. --digitalmischief (talk) 03:22, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have blocked User:Ewbob so the article creation should stop. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. 03:24, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How come my external links were deleted?

I added an external link to a few pages that were relevant to the topic of the page...

On Alcoholism, I added an alcoholism support group... there is another alcoholism support group link too but that was left one?

On Support groups, I added a link to a directory of support groups but it was taken down yet the links preceding it are still up when they're essentially the same?

Please explain.

Thank you!

I know the vandalism is an issue, but surely short preventative blocks are better than a month. The number of people who are being shown as using this IP is likely to be around 400,000 so from a net positive/negative viewpoint I would say short blocks (i.e. till the vandal gets bored) are going to be a better idea. This isn't quite the name effect as blocking Qatar, but is of the same order of magnitude... Brilliantine (talk) 10:50, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Heroic Canadian College Girl in the USASA

Well, golly, the poor old super-secret ASA disappeared 32 years ago, but we have an expert from Western, or Queens, or what have you! Interesting! Also, one most note, an expert on Muskoka and Haliburton! (Somewhat more credible, but still quite a stretch).

We Get Question Marks

You run around placing highly subjective tags on matters on which you have no possible knowledge. This is completely out of line.Lake Central (talk) 04:45, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
