RE: Speedy deletions

I'm sorry, but a speedy deletion is a speedy deletion. WP:CSD is very clear in this regard. These articles do not fit these criteria, so please try proposing it for deletion or putting it on AFD instead. Thanks and regards, —Celestianpower ^háblame 21:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please read the Talk pages of articles before nominating them for AfD or trying to Speedy them. The List of gay porn stars article was previously nominated for deletion and the result was "keep".—Chidom ^talk 12:47, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please take more care in avoiding incivility or comments that may be seen as uncivil. I read the discussion page. The nomination you refer to is over a year old. The policy underlying my deletion proposal took effect only a few months ago. Even without the new policy rules, there is nothing wrong with a new deletion proposal more than a year after an earlier one. Especially when the reason is completely different. The editor formerly known as Harmonica Wolfowitz 19:35, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry that you found my comment to appear uncivil. It was not meant to be so.—Chidom ^talk 20:50, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unbias

I noticed that an editor by the name of Hoary is very bais when it comes to deleting photographers from the fashion photography section. Just recently I added a photographer the shoots for Vogue Magazine and also has won very prestigious awards... all this information is verifiable, and referecnced. I am writing you because I see that you have stood upto this person, in the Luke Duval AFD section. Another, much more established photographer named Seth Sabal has been deleted by Hoary and this photographer, shoots for shot for Vogue; and won the same award as Luke Duval the photographer you protected from deletion. Can you please help me. Thank you Sarah PhotobloggerNYT (talk) 01:20, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of images

Please stop removing images from articles, as you did with Jenny Lynn, Raye Hollitt, Guy Lafleur, and others. Using images of book and magazine covers is acceptable under WP:Fair use. fbb_fan 00:18, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please review WP:Fair use and the policy described in the copyright tag for those images more carefully. As my edit summaries accurately quoted, "It is not acceptable to use images with this tag in the article of the person or persons depicted on the cover, unless used directly in connection with the publication of this image." In each case you cited, the article use did not conform to this requirement. The editor formerly known as Harmonica Wolfowitz 19:28, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please review WP:FU and note that it is in fact a guideline, not a policy. This is clearly stated at the top of the page. fbb_fan 01:24, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please review WP:FU more carefully. The template you mention refers only to sections 1-4 of the page. Sections 5-8 are formal Wikipedia policy. They are labelled as formal policy by the template preceding section 5. The editor formerly known as Harmonica Wolfowitz 16:54, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

...and I believe the section you are citing as the reason for removing images is not in the section marked as "policy".

Incidentally, since you seem to be quite a stickler for policy and such, please note the following from WP:SIG: Signatures that obscure your account name to the casual reader may be seen as disruptive. fbb_fan 23:41, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Noel Gallagher

Hi there! I was wondering why you made this edit. Gallagher's drug-use in his early days is pretty widely documented – he's even had a few laughs about it during interviews. And the fact that he ripped off "Get It On" is also pretty well-known, although I agree that may have been written in a slightly POV way. But do you think that we should just remove his recreational habits from the article? I wouldn't want to start an edit war, so I just thought I'd see what you think. This paragraph states that if an allegiation is notable, verifiable and important to the article, it should not be removed. And personally, I think Gallagher using drugs was one of the best things to happen to British music – without it, Oasis would have just been some shoddy garage band :) But that's just me! Well, please let me know your thoughts. Happy editing, — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 14:45, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Under the "Remove unsourced or poorly sourced negative material" paragraph of Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, statements like these are to be removed immediately if they are not properly sourced. Claims of plagiarism and illegal drug abuse are clearly "negative material." If they are well-documented, just find reliable sources and add the material back, citing those sources. Make sure that what the article says on these matters matches what the source says. No disagreement about content, just about sourcing -- statements like these now must be verified, not just verifiable. The editor formerly known as Harmonica Wolfowitz 17:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, I've left a message with the editor who added all that information initially; I'm sure he'll take care of it. :) Ta, — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 23:06, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chessie Moore

Would have been easy to check that I wasn't libelling her. She freely admits to it on her (already linked) bio/FAQ on her site. So please don't pull out the WP:BLP too quickly. Cheers. MadMaxDog 11:24, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP says that if comments like that aren't sourced, delete immediately. Hard to see how I could act "too quickly". Please explain. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz 19:53, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, its okay. I was mainly referring to the fact that the link I gave as a source was already on the page! Though I can understand that with such fetishes, people might be rather restrictive... MadMaxDog 07:53, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request

I am not familiar with the credit card / porn star identity incident you mentioned in AnonEMouse's RFA, but I would like to take a closer look at it. Could you provide some more direct diffs related to Mouse's involvment? Dragons flight 21:48, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I provided extensive links and discussion on that page, Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/AnonEMouse. AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 15:12, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"a couple followup questions"

You were very civil, and raised appropriate points. I could hardly do less than respond, briefly at first, then in more detail when JoshuaZ asked. I can't wait for the questions! :-) AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 15:58, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CalendarWatcher's reversion

Just to note, CalendarWatcher reverted you here [1]. I agree with you that the merge should be done with a little more effort put into it as to what's necessary and what's not by some users familiar with the topic. I didn't understand his reasoning that 'nothing is stopping you' while merging the article making that impossible. It just sounded abrasive. I know a little about the show myself so I could possibly step in if need be, but as you said, it shouldn't be merged yet. Cheers! Cheers_Dude (talk) 08:31, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I might also like to note that this editor is running on a second chance granted by an admin in which he really should be blocked right now for recent violation of the 3RR, as shown here [2]. His editing practices are not improving and you are not the only user he has shown uncivil editing habits with as shown here [3] and here [4]. Given that he should be blocked for violation of 3RR, an admin should most definitely be contacted if he engages in edit warring or violates the 3RR again. Cheers! Cheers_Dude (talk) 10:08, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User:Calton and sockpuppetry

If you blank content on User:Calton again, I will block you for disruptive editing. I've already blocked your IP once, so I suggest you stop. - auburnpilot talk 01:01, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

With this warning, I believe you were in error. The user in question was engaging in perfectly appropriate blanking of a serious BLP violation. To call someone a "spammer" is a very serious personal attack, remember WP:NPA, and he was using a (misspelling) of the real name of a known critic. The block in this case should have been handed out to User:Calton for violatio of policy, and Hullaballoo Wolfowitz could possibly have been thanked for right action.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 22:20, 15 February 2009 (UTC) [comment originally posted on AuburnPilot's talk page [5][reply]

Dave Simons DRV

In relation to this edit [6], DRV is generally only for admins since they're the ones who can see the full text of the deletion pages. That being said, do you have a link for the cahce of the full text of the deleted article? I'd like to see it and offer help, if I can. Thanks! Dayewalker (talk) 20:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, nothing I see in the deletion policy page on deletion review backs up your claim. Any editor may participate in deletion review. Often the deleted text is not as important as the deletion discusssion which remains for all editors to see. Deletion review is a discussion about the appropriateness of deletion discussion outcomes. I have read many discussions in which normal editors participated. Second, the google cache has now disappeared. But the same content can be found here. [[7]]. Showing that the editor who created the article was actively trying to improve it. It is extremely similar to the text I posted. I do not understand why you think that text was not sufficient. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 20:41, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I said nothing of the sort about the page, I was only asking if it was anywhere where I could take a full look at it. It stands to reason that if only admins can see the content, then only admins would be qualified to figure out whether it should have been deleted in the first place. If that snippet from wikirage is all that exists, there don't seem to be any reliable sources. Dayewalker (talk) 20:51, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But lack of reliable sources for an article in the process of being written is not grounds for speedy deletion! Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 20:53, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see the full article so I can't comment on this specific one, but yes, yes they can. The mainspace is not the place to write an unsourced article, as I've tried to explain to the author of this piece. Dayewalker (talk) 21:01, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing issues aren't grounds for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion policy, even for BLPs. And certainly not for articles that were being written when the speedy was placed. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 21:06, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(OD)Without proper sourcing, the subject wasn't notable. I've tried to be as helpful as I can to the author, but if you upload an unfinished, unsourced article to the mainspace, it's probably going to come back down pretty quickly. Dayewalker (talk) 00:34, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Block

Following on from the discussion here and Auburn Pilot's warning a few sections above on this page, I see that you have continued to disruptively edit User:Calton whilst logged out. I have therefore blocked you for 48 hours. I will post the standard block template, which contains details of how to request an unblock, below. _Gb^T/c 14:14, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

_Gb^T/c 14:14, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I did not make the edit I am accused of making. I am obviously not the editor who did so. I am in North America, from a school/library network. As I asked last week, this can easily be checked out as true The banned editor I am for no good reason accused of being is described as being in the Czech Republic, and the IPs involved are traced there by the "GEOLOCATE" function on the contributions page. The accusations were made in a discussion I started. But after I had logged out because the library was closing. The discussion was closed before I could respond. And there was no evidence presented at all. If you examine the edit histories there is no resemblance between what I do and what the user I am accused of being does. Even the administrator who began accusing me of being a sockpuppet (without saying whose) now says on his talk page "I have no idea if you are related to the old sockpuppet accounts mentioned." I also want to say that the disputed edit was not improper. It is the kind of deletion that the Arbitration Committee called for with regard to BLP violations on userpages. No one has seriously claimed that the material I deleted did not have BLP violations in it. I will post more from the Arbcom decisions but I have to research them a little. If this is not good enough then I ask to be unblocked so I can take this to Arbitration since I was just following Arbcom guidelines ! Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 00:18, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

While checkuser confirms that aspect of your unblock request, the blocking admin makes a good argument that your behavior has been nonetheless disruptive. — Coren ^(talk) 13:18, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Given that checkuser confirms that aspect of your claim, I've asked the blocking editor to comment here on whether that was the sole basis for the block. — Coren ^(talk) 01:00, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I confirm Coren's findings. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz is

Unrelated to the IP. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 04:44, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock}} I'm sorry. This is Kafkaesque. It is not disputed that I did not make the edit for which I was blocked. (The IP that actually made the edit has not been blocked, which I can not understand). I remain blocked now because I participated in an RfAr last month, and no one claims that anything I said was uncivil or inappropriate. In preparing my comments I looked at the contributions of the user targeted by the RfAr. In four of them that user deleted content shortly after an AFD called for the content to be kept but merged. I restored the deleted content with edit summaries asking for an editor familiar with the issue to merge the important content. No one had claimed that there was anything inappropriate about those edits. They conformed to policy. After I commented in the RfAr I have had nothing further to do with the target. Now I am accused without cause of being a "stalker" and blocked due to four legitimate edits a month ago. When I returned to active editing, I said on my user page that I had been following Wikipedia discussions and arguments for a few months. Because I had been doing that. Yet somehow doing research and checking out situations rather than jumping in without much information and shooting my mouth off is bad behavior now. Until the false accusations of me being a banned user began, no one had ever suggested any of my editing violated any Wikipedia policies. There were editors who complained about violating policies especially over fair use imagees though. I would think that the work I have been doing in cleaning up BLP violations should count for something but instead bad faith is assumed in this dispute. Even though I was careful to make sure my edits matched up to the rules made the Arbcom which I already quoted below. If any editor is to be judged only by a carefully chosen 5 out of one thousand edits it would be easy to find a way to make an invalid case against them. I would also like to point out that the BLP violation in the edit that started this office is confirmed by Jimmy Wales, who recently and graciously apologized for directing the same basic term against the individual in question (link below). I again request to be unblocked. That is the only fair thing to do. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 20:40, 28 January 2009 (UTC) Jimmy Wales link [8][reply]

User was blocked at 14:11, 27 January 2009 (UTC) for 48 hours. It is now more than 48 hours later. — Athaenara ✉ 14:40, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You say you are Kafkaesque, if you are User:Kafkaesque you need to need to make this unblock request in this account name.—Sandahl (talk) 03:50, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This request is a little tl;dr for my taste, but I should note that it appears he is stating that the situation is "Kafkaesque" as in "reminiscent of the writings of Franz Kafka" (see wiktionary entry.) I don't think he's admitting at ALL to being another user. However, I find his unblock request above to be somewhat ironically Kafkaesque in its own way. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:17, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. Wouldn't recognize the term, no fan of Kafka, much too verbose.—Sandahl (talk) 14:16, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So lets recap? Blocked for being a sock, shown to be completely and utterly false. Then the block reason was "oh because of that" something that wasn't part of the initial block... but hey he was blocked so he's GOTTA have a reason somewhere... lets look closely... add to that some hmmm how do you put it politely "not all that well read" admin makes a multiple sock offender out of it... quite funny. This bit made my day :) Oh and Kafka is not exactly a verbose writer ;) brilliant yes, verbose... not exactly the 1st thing that comes to mind. Jacina (talk) 12:46, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, the part of your recap that you missed is that this user has been unblocked for three weeks at this point... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 12:49, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Arbcom case as mentioned

From Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Tobias_Conradi

6.2 While users have wide discretion to use that space as they see fit, it is the Committee's understanding of present communal "best practice" and consensus, that lists of fault-finding diffs, users described as "problem users", negative postings, and other matters of a generally uncollegial kind, should be written only if needed, kept only for a limited period, and only for imminent use in dispute resolution or other reasonable and short term dispute handling. They should not be allowed - deliberately, through passage of time, good faith, wilful allusion, or neglect - to create some kind of perennial "hall of shame" or list of "disapproved, shunned or negatively viewed users".

6.6 The Arbitration Committee affirms that it will not usually consider users who blank or (if necessary) delete such matters in user space, to have abused their editing or administrative access, provided:- the content was broadly of the types above, the deletion or blanking was in good faith, discussed (if possibly "live"), not excessive, and the matter handled courteously and reasonably, with administrative deletion avoided unless either egregious, agreed by usual processes, or historic revisions are being persistently linked (on or off wiki).

Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 00:22, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

From request for clarification of the same case, arbitrators statements that directing such comments at specific people crosses the line:

My analysis is that the statement in context would definitely be read as Bedford's own opinion put into a crassly extreme form, but that no-one would seriously read it as a literal statement. It is borderline but I would incline to the view that we cannot insist on its removal. This is partly because, in applying the complained-of remarks generally without naming the users, it is difficult to read it as personally insulting. Users unfamiliar with the dispute, intrigued by the use of such a forceful description, are far more likely to hold it against Bedford especially if they investigate the circumstances. I think in his best interests he should rephrase his remarks, but I strongly suspect that it is his own reputation that will suffer if he choses not to do so. Sam Blacketer (talk) 23:08, 20 December 2008 (UTC) Note: Our newbie arb hats aren't fully on but we're being asked to comment...I agree with Brad and Sam. While Bedford's comment is highly distasteful to many in the community, it is not directed at anyone specific and is in his own user space. If it were a directed comment, I support removing it. As it is, it's primary negative affect is to the person that wrote it. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:05, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

That is just last month!

From the similar request for comment on Law Lord:

Outside view by Fred Bauder Discourtesy is an increasing problem on Wikipedia. Lack of courtesy has driven a number of editors away from Wikipedia. An assertion by an editor who has departed that the reason they left was lack of courtesy is acceptable. A personal attack would involve not only identifying the person, but an attack that is personal, not merely an assertion that Wikipedia policy was not followed. We should not create a situation where not only is the policy violation tolerated, but even mention of it is forbidden.

Jimbo

You may be pleased to know that Jimmy Wales has made comments supportive of you in relation to your efforts to remove unacceptable comments from Calton's user page and has suggested that the admin who blocked you might want to reconsider his position as an admin (not directly related to your blocking but still related to this matter). Then again you may already know or you may not care. I thought I'd mention it anyway given the bizarre way you were treated over this. 87.254.80.49 (talk) 23:39, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You do realize that by starting this ANI with regards to Calton, that you have put yourself squarely in Guy's cross hairs. Be careful, they will now try to spin this so that Calton comes off as the victim here, not the aggressor. I suggest you bring this matter straight to Jimbo. 78.102.139.114 (talk) 10:04, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I told you so, they are turning this into "Calton is the victim" and right on cue Guy jumped in. They are also claiming you are the banned Truthcrusader person, of course no one will run a checkuser to verify or disprove it. again, take this to Jimbo. 78.102.139.114 (talk) 14:30, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See? With all the BS flying around about Calton claiming you are Truthcrusader, the initial reason WHY you filed the ANI is lost forever. Also lost is the two personal attacks he made a few days ago on two other editors.78.102.139.114 (talk) 00:08, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kate Jackson

Hello. With regard to your edits to the Kate Jackson article, specifically with regard to your removal of the information regarding Jackson's two treatments for cancer, it seems as though you don't understand the purpose of editing. If you're interested in being a constructive editor rather than a destructive one, you might want to consider that the appropriate edit here would not be to remove the uncited material, but to A) find a citation yourself for uncited information, or B) placing a cite tag on that particular sentence or section.

If you are interested enough in an article to edit it, and have the time to enter the edit page and make the edit, it seems as though you would have the time to Google search "Kate Jackson" "breast cancer" and add the reference yourself. As I read that you do your editing work during time at a library, it would seem a greater degree of source information would be available to you there than the average person, as libraries typically subscribe to paid news sites. Barring this, you should take note of the other information on the page relevant to your edit: the Category:breast cancer survivors page links to the Kate Jackson article, and this is evident from that category's tag in the Jackson article. But what is the value to you or another reader of removing this fact from her biography, and from the list of cancer survivors?

Kate Jackson was treated for breast cancer in 1987 and again around 1991. While the first bout was something she kept secret, the second made her decide to make her health publicly known, resulting in her being the subject of a cover story in People magazine. She also underwent open heart surgery in 1994 after discovering she had been born with an Atrial septal defect. She has been active in spreading awareness of both conditions. Please take an interest in the subjects of your edits; when they are clearly not vandalism, spend at least the same minute or two searching for a source as you would editing the material out. If you don't care enough to do so, the answer is to place a cite tag or to walk away from the article. A better article is not made by the removal of accurate and citable information. Removing the information without giving other editors the heads-up that a source is required means that your diminishment of the article is unlikely to attract the attention of editors who can do the job you choose not to.

Your "Strong keep" on girlfriend of aristocrat

Hiya Hullaballoo, I read your "Strong Keep" for the Axelsson Living persons bio, and I'd have to disagree. Reading thru the Swedish and German papers, she has no relationship to the Danish royal house but her boyfriend (they aren't engaged) does, distantly. (I do a lot of royalty stuff and it's hard to keep the "pretty princess!" fandom from swamping Wiki.) Her books aren't notable and the stuff that's in those articles is basically fluff that's paid public relations. There are literally thousands of minor German princes populating the country so I can't see why the girlfriend of one of them gets a Wiki page. Most of the supporting documentation is like reading the National Enquirer only with worse errors; for instance, B Bladen has her as non-English speaking although she was born, raised, and educated in the US through high school.

Articles Jessicka & Clint Catalyst

Hello User:Hullaballoo Wolfowitz- I writing in regard to your edits on articles Jessicka & Clint Catalyst, specifically with regard to your removal of information. It seems as though you don't understand the purpose of editing. If you're interested in being a constructive editor rather than a destructive one, you might want to consider finding the appropriate reference links rather then just removing entire subjects making the articles less factual. In the future please place a cite tag or leave the article "as is". A better article is not made by the removal of accurate and citable information. Removing the information without giving other editors the heads-up that a source is required means that your diminishment of the article is unlikely to attract the attention of editors who can do the job you choose not to.

I am contacting you in good faith and hope that in the future you will follow wikipedia policy!

thanks, Xtian1313 (talk) 18:40, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please familiarize yourself with WP:BLP, WP:RS, and WP:INDISCRIMINATE before criticizing editors who are attempting to enforce those policies. As another user commented on the article you say is about your wife earlier today, a Wikipedia article is "not an opportuinty to spam Wiki with everything related to her." [9] Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 21:53, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have stated several times that Jessicka is my wife - examples here:[10] here:[11] & here: [12]

Understand, I am not being uncivil. I am not debating whether promotional material should be on anybody's wikipedia page. Removing links wasn't even your edit. See here:[13] I am fine with the edits made by User:Piano non troppo, as it is a page about a person and there's no need to link her bands. Please don't deflect. I am stating facts. I am asking you to be a constructive editor rather than a destructive one. I am asking you to consider that the appropriate etiquette here would not be to remove the un-cited material, but to A.) find a citation yourself for uncited information, or B.) placing a cite tag on that particular sentence or section.

If you are interested enough in an article to edit it, and have the time to enter the edit page and make the edit, it seems as though you would have the time to Google search . If you are just there to remove material then it is obvious that you have some sort of COI with these articles.

As far a User:Tallulah13's talk page goes please reread what I wrote. [14] and I quote, "If you ever need a third party opinion ( for articles I don't have a COI with) please feel free to hit me up."

I do not know User:Tallulah13. I was being nice. Is being nice to somebody against wikipedia policy? I have not made edits on either Jessicka or Clint's pages. As far as I know User:Tallulah13 has not made edits on Jessicka's page. As far as I know User:Tallulah13 does not know my wife or Clint in real life. She said that my wife emailed her - ? Perhaps on Clint's behalf to say thank you?

In closing, I'm not spamming. I am not making edits. The links in question were not added by me. Is there another problem here that I don't know about? I came to you in good faith, if there's some sort of issue - please enlighten me before I involve others. All items that you've removed have NOW been sourced. Rather then look for the source yourself trying to expand the articles in question, you just removed entire sections! How is that constructive?

I am asking you nicely to please follow wikipedia policy. I am still familiarizing myself with wikipedia but I can tell when somebody has a clear COI when editing certain articles. I look forward to resolving this matter quickly, Xtian1313 (talk) 23:23, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clint_Catalyst.2C_Jessicka.2C_and_COI-implicated_editors_who_refuse_to_abide_by_WP:RS_and_WP:BLP

Regarding your comments made here: [15]

"I've been removing flagrantly inappropriate material from a small, interwoven set of articles about very minor-league "celebrities" involved in the LA club scene, mostly associated with buzznet.com."

My wife isn't an internet celebrity - she's a musician and artist. She has no association with buzznet.com. If you have some issue with her legitimacy, might I nicely suggest that you leave editing her wikipedia page to user(s) who have no COI and have neutral third party opinions. This reason is why I myself do not edit her page.

"Given that Tallulah13 claims to have photographed Catalyst and Jessica together in Germany recently [110], although all are based in LA, it seems fair to me to suspect they are associated.)"

The episode was filmed in LA not Germany.Germany's Next Topmodel, Cycle 4 You know what people say about assuming. A little research on certain topics goes a long way.

"A Wikipedia article is supposed to be encyclopedic, not an ungodly welding together of a Twitter archive, a set of press clubs, and a shrine to a minor-league celebrity built by his or her friends. The two principal articles involved are Clint Catalyst, where at least two-thirds of the "references" are to sources controlled by the subject or promoting businesses owned by his friends, and Jessicka."

I have no idea what promoting business you are talking about. The end of your ridiculous rant is utter nonsense. I don't appreciate what you are alluding to. I am telling you it's simply not true. I am coming to you in good faith. If you have some issue with my wife, Clint Catalyst, or anybody whom you assume they are friendly with being legitimate and deserving wikipedia pages, might I suggest that the best course of action is for you to allow user(s) who can be 100% neutral, fair, and willing to do research to edit their articles.

Please, do not post silly things as you did on my talk page. Vanthorn (talk) 16:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you think complying with WP:RS and WP:BLP is silly. Perhaps if you reread them your opinion would change. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 21:39, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vanthorn, my advice is just to ignore him. Hullaballoo has a reputation for trolling Wiki articles and deleting absolutely anything and everything that isn't cited to his standards, rather than simply citing it himself, all the while continually invoking various Wikipedia policies to defend his agenda and making bad faith suggestions such as "you need to 'reread' such-and-such policy." This is referred to as "gaming the system" (WP:GAME), and he is what we call a destructive, rather than constructive, editor. In reality he is simply Wikilawyering, and he has been banned by admins in the past; he likely will be again. Best way to deal with him is simply to revert his edits.Cubert (talk) 06:53, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gaming the system

I have stated who I am. This is the only name I sign in under. I have given an email address where I can be reached. I have not edited articles that I have a COI with. The fact you, User:Hullaballoo Wolfowitz have a weird obsession in editing all things associated to my wife and myself. [16]

I've been watching this all unfold for a while now. I am a fan of a lot of the people listed on Hullaballoo Wolfowitz's edit list. I agree he/she certainly has a COI with all of these articles/individuals. I'm really not sure why a moderator or administrator isn't doing something about this person as they truly are being destructive on a lot of well written wikipedia pages.

Suggested by User:Jayron32 here [17] - This is my one and only account. Please feel free to check my IP address. Parenttrap (talk) 17:17, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This may help...?

Hey Hullaballoo! I believe this will be of interest to you: User_talk:AuburnPilot#Help. Essentially, User:Xtian1313 is attempting to out you as being me or my boyfriend. Obviously, for one, that's just not true, outing people is against wiki policy. User:Xtian1313 outed me and attempted to out User:Snuppy as someone, a while ago, and has been repeatedly informed that this is against policy. I believe that the person behind User:Xtian1313 has a long history of editing articles under various revolving IP's and usernames, including User:KurtneyLovelace and User:RickeyGoodling. There is a history of articles related to Scarling and the core member Jessicka being built up/promoted by these IP's/usernames while articles of "perceived enemies" have been continusously torn down with negative/unnecessary/unproductive edits, since day one. These IP's have also included the names of Scarling and Jessicka everywhere on wikipedia, essentially promoting/building up this person/band everywhere, all over wikipedia, even on the page for Silver Lake, California!

Not to junk up your page with personal experiences, but my boyfriend Kyle Justin was in their band, and his former bandmates (the 2 core members) do not like him, and neither does the person behind all these edits. ::clears throat:: I created a profile for him last year (Kyle Justin) before we were together and before I was in his band, not really understanding the policies of wiki involving conflicts of interest. I've since been outed/outed myself. And, myself and a good friend of mine, who created the articles related to Skeleteen, no longer use the same account. I realize now I have been in violation of wiki policies before, and have made a concerted attempt to not violate them again. In any event, the articles for Kyle Justin, TC Smith, and Robin Moulder (all people this person doesn't like) have been torn down repeated/obsessively since they were put up. It's all in the history. Thank you for reverting the most recent edits to the Kyle Justin page done by this person, as it's obviously the same person doing unproductive/destructive/possibly hateful things. Even if the photos need to be taken down (I don't know), it's not right for that user to be gaming the system. Kyle even came on here on User:Chzz's talk page to ask if someone could delete the article about him, because he doesn't want to be lumped into a category with the fame-junkies/minor league "internet celebrities"/wannabes. (You can find that here: User_talk:Chzz/Archive_5#deleting_article_on_me.3F.) He got permission from Chzz to delete defamation of character/libel/legal threats and false accusations against him by User:Xtian1313 on Chzz's talk page, but was unsuccessful at having his article deleted, as Chzz says it conforms to the notability standards. In any event, I hope some of this will help you out... you can delete all this to clean up your page. Just trying to help you out with more history on this situation. There are a lot more links I could send you for more information, if you like. (I honestly don't know if any of this helps.)

Anyway, thanks for looking out. It's about time. User:Snuppy and I have talked about doing a user check on this person for a while (go here to see that: User_talk:Snuppy#Check_user). I checked all the IP's you listed against the ones I have, they all go back to the same location (the precise longitude and latitude) in Los Angeles, California. It's been a long time coming... I believe it's obvious that this all comes down to one person and a user check isn't even needed to see that. Honestly, I would love for a user check to be done on myself just to prove that I haven't done ANYTHING to the pages related to her (Jessicka) or Scarling... I could care less about their articles, as I do not ever want to associate with people like that, anymore, and neither does my boyfriend. :) Matt – Godblessyrblackheart (talk) 02:06, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question on Clint Catalyst Reverts

I am wondering how listing books that Mr. Catalyst has authored with ISBN numbers is considered WP:RS or WP:BLP. I am just curious as I personally see no problem with these edits. - NeutralHomer • Talk • May 5, 2009 @ 17:07

It was cut-and-pasted from Catalyst's own website, with ISBNs added, so it fails WP:RS for lack of independent reliable 3d party sourcing as well as raises copyright problems. It bore a marked resemblance to a list of books Catalyst was pushing in his website store, so it was promotional. A laundry list of non-notable short stories anthologized in non-notable anthologies doesn't belong in an encyclopedia article, unless it's for a world class writer like Jorge Luis Borges. Granny/Amber/Tallulah is editing in concert with Catalyst, for promotional purposes, and it's a bad idea to encourage her. Nobody else does. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 23:15, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, that's a load of malarkey! Authored books, are authored books, regardless of if you think this is for promotional purposes. Second of all, I don't know how you know my real name is Amber - that is even more proof that YOU have a COI with editing Catalyst's page and need to STOP. And lastly, I have no damn clue who this Granny person is, but they are NOT me. I've no reason to lie about that. I openly admit that Amber/Tallulah is the same person (and that is me). I'm NOT making major edits to the Clint Catalyst article anymore. Only very small things when I see something tiny. So, your snarky little comment of not encouraging me is asinine (just like you).76.229.108.103 (talk) 00:44, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not only am I not Tallulah/Amber(?), the list was not "cut and pasted" as you continuously claim. If you'll notice, comparing them to the list on his website, some of the books don't even have the full titles listed on the website. Also, I did not see a store on his website when I looked. Catalyst is a well known author, there is no reason to omit entries from his bibliography which are well documented. If you think the books need more 3rd party sourcing than just ISBN numbers, add the citation needed tag instead of making destructive edits. Granny Bebeb (talk) 04:12, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless if it is copied, with the ISBN numbers added, that makes it reliable. ISBN numbers are as reliable as it gets. - NeutralHomer • Talk • May 6, 2009 @ 06:11

Thanks, that's what I figured. This guy has a serious COI issue with the article, and it's going to take some work to get it back to a complete state. I'm going to go add these back now. Granny Bebeb (talk) 11:21, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just out of curiosity, do you know what in the world everyone is claiming your COI is with the article? I've warned User:Tjcrowley to stop with the blatant reverting but I think we need a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard to get some sanity on this. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:16, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have no clue what they think the conflict is. If I remember it right, it began with Xtian1313, who insisted that my removing unsourced/unreliably sourced information from the Jessicka article was evidence of COI. Then the other buzznet folks picked it up. They throw accusations around pretty much insiscriminately. Check out this sockputter accusation, claiming that User:Bali ultimate is the same user as me. Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Hullaballoo_Wolfowitz/Archive Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 21:56, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it needs to go to the COIN noticeboard. They seem to be implying I have a COI too now. It's clear someone has told them just enough to be annoying. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 20:24, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ann Jillian source removal

You removed one citing source representing actress Ann Jillian and declared it unreliable. For what particular reason?

UWEC School Classs at 173.26.80.178 (talk) 01:29, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whosdatedwho.com is a gossip site, based primarily on user contributions, without any demonstrated practice of or reputation for fact checking. It therefore fails the requirements of WP:RS, which presents Wikipedia's reliable source policy in some detail. At best, sites like that are tertiary sources at best, and generally to be avoided.

Lenora Claire -- COI and Sockpuppets

Dear Hullaballo,

I notice that you, too, have been trying to clean up the Lenora Claire article which -- when I stumbled on to it -- read rather more as a press release. In reviewing the edit history I see SPA LenoraClaire has been active in editing it as has a Los Feliz Los Angeles ip which I suspect to be controlled by Ms Claire. Most recently another ip vandalised the talk page to delete a COI note I added. Do you think it worth reporting these socks or protecting the page or something else?

Jessicka, Christian Hejnal, Scarling./Sockpuppet_investigations/Xtian1313

Now that the sock puppet investigation you started has come to a conclusion, "Conclusions I'm not seeing evidence here that proves or is strongly suggestive of a link between Parenttrap and Xtian1313, or evidence that 3RR or other tenets of WP:SOCK were violated by the IP editing if the IP and Xtian1313 are the same user. Please refile if you find further evidence, and present that evidence using diffs specifically. Nathan T 16:01, 18 May 2009 (UTC) This case has been marked as closed. It will be archived after its final review by a Clerk or Checkuser." [18]

I am coming to you in good faith- inorder to ask you not to edit articles dealing with my wife Jessicka, myself, (Christian Hejnal), or my band Scarling. (including albums).

I myself am not editing these articles, for obvious reasons. Please allow editors who do not have a conflict of interest with these subjects and can maintain a neutral point of view to edit these articles. fair? Whatever issues you have with me, please feel free to email me at scarlingmusic@aol.com so we may take them off wiki. Thank-you. Xtian1313 (talk) 17:41, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your PRODs of various porn actors within a short timespan

Hi Hullaballoo Wolfowitz. You have prodded a number of these articles within a short timespan (minutes). It seems likely that you have made no attempt to follow WP:BEFORE. A number of the pages do make claims to notability, a porn star with a Magna cum laude university degree, a porn start with a black belt in tae-kwondo and bronze medal from Junior Olympics, a pornstar which has appeared in every major men's magazine, a porn star with a whoppin' film count (161), sprinkled with nominations within that film industry, some multiple; and a person (photographer) for whom I think the bio-porn is not even relevant.... It raises the probability that someone with an interest in the topic could establish notability. I'm therefore not at all sure that your nominations are uncontroversial and hence suitable for PROD. Reading some of the posts above also leads me to believe, that it is defensible for me to revert those PRODs, which I have done. Power.corrupts (talk) 21:07, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I too am getting the impression from above that you may be attempting to moralize based on your personal philosophy. That has no place in Wikipedia. If you don't like certain topics, please feel free to stay away from those pages. Lexlex (talk) 00:21, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An3

I've removed an edit of yours from AN3 [19]. The section is closed, and your edit was unhelpful. Please seek to avoid inflammatory language William M. Connolley (talk) 20:49, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COIN

Hello Hullaballoo. I took a look at the case you recently filed at WP:AN3. If you can establish that people connected with the subject are editing their article, you could file at WP:COIN. This could be a better venue than AN3. Due to the nature of your work, you may wind up sounding combative. But if COI is calmly assessed, reasonable remedies can be put in place, oftentimes by agreement. Admin action is possible in cases where nothing else seems to work.

RE:Swancookie

I'll keep it short with you as I did with Swancookie.

I have no interest or care as to what the ongoing dispute is concerning yourself and several other users.

My sole intent was to get all this into dispute resolution and stop cluttering up talk pages, message boards, and using helpme templates. That is all, I have no sides and I don't care to. Keegan (talk) 15:44, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever your intent, it wasn't appropriate to give Swancookie a response that appeared to approve of clear personal attacks like "underhanded jerk." Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 15:49, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Point taken. Keegan (talk) 16:14, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Blake Lively article

I never put spam links in any article. I actually just clicked the link and it took me to scans of a Nylon magazine article. How is that vandalism? If you're having trouble accessing the article, please take that up with the site manager, not me. Thanks. --MgCupcake (talk)

You put in links to a spamsite and claimed they were links to a legitimate source. That's never appropriate. Even if you hadn't intended to deceive anybody, 1)you should know that sites like that pose hazards to users (my antimalware software reported a stream of tracking cookies and other stuff coming from that site that does nothing but bad stuff to any legitimate user), and 2) the link violated multiple other Wikipedia policies/guidelines, like WP:LINKVIO and WP:CITE#SAYWHEREYOUGOTIT. It's also a site that requires registration, which is generally frowned on, since so many of such ssites (there are, of course, recognized exceptions) exist to harvest email addresses for sale to spammers.

Hilariously ironic, coming from the guy who deletes every discussion on his talk page he doesn't agree with as "harassment." Everybody wait to see how long till he erases this one... 3... 2... 1...

How Do You Know?

How are you sure that this is from a "sock"? I would ask you to assume good faith with that user. There is no evidence that that user is a sockpuppet. Now, you may delete this as some "attack" or "harrassment", but it isn't. Just a friendly query. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 05:56, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Because the misfit always assumes bad faith, that's why. He'll call me a "sock," a "vandal," a "harasser," a "disruptive editor," anything he thinks he can get away with. And you're right, he'll delete this all as "harassment." Go for it, Hullaballoo!

If you wanna talk IRL, you know where I'll be. See you Mon. Cubert (talk) 06:40, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
