clarification on Pectin.

I tried to clarify what the drug, Kaopectate, was for. Before my edit it had no link to the sentence before, which describes how pectin can combat diarrhoea and constipation. I thought I should clarify this point. Why was it reverted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pureferret (talk • contribs) 15:23, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Henry Eccles

Hello! Back in November you added "disputed" and "expert-subject" tags to the article Henry Eccles. A new editor has just removed them, but doesn't seem to have cleared up any of the confusion. I was going to re-add the tags, but I thought I'd check with you first. There are also articles on the related composers Solomon Eccles and John Eccles which seem to contain contradictions too, and they are all lacking in reliable sources. I've just given myself a headache trying to make sense of them all. --Deskford (talk) 02:08, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

I reverted the recent edits as there are no in line citations given and it doesn't address the confusion as to which Henry Eccles we are talking about as mentioned on the articles Talk page. I've put other tags on the other articles. They all need attention from someone who has access to reliable sources and knows a bit about the subject. Unfortunately that is not me - maybe you can help? Vrenator ^talk 09:14, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll have a look for some sources and see if I can make sense of them. Looking again in daylight I see that the new editor appears to be connected with a CD release so there could be a conflict-of-interest issue. --Deskford (talk) 13:27, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

OK - Good luck with it. I'll keep an eye on the pages anyway in case anything else comes up. Vrenator ^talk 13:32, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I am the person who edited the Eccles page. Sorry if I didn't reference well, it was my first ever edit. I have done a fair bit of research on the subject and had corrected the errors in the article. It is now reverted to being very inaccurate and incomplete. What should I do? I am indeed soon releasing a CD of his sonatas, which is partially why I researched him extensively (including a disappointing trip to his Wikipedia page). I'm not sure what the conflict of interest could be, I just wanted to share what I learned and correct the mistakes on the page. Martydavids (talk) 20:39, 9 January 2012 (UTC)martydavids

Thanks for getting back to us. The most important thing you need to do is provide reliable sources for any changes you make to the article. Please read WP:RS for some background of the Wikipedia policy on providing sources for content. The conflict of interest issue might arise if you appeared to be using the article to promote your CD, so please be careful to remain neutral, presenting facts in as clear and unbiased a way as possible. --Deskford (talk) 21:59, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Quick Question on references/citations for a newbie

Thanks for the welcome message and cookies! I'm not a great writer, but I'm hoping to work mainly on adding references to articles. Is there a log or something similar of articles that need references? Also, I'm not very familiar with computer languages. Any tips on how to learn the syntax/language.

Mvieiro (talk) 14:56, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

You can find articles that need references in the references section of Wikipedia:Cleanup. I found the best way to learn is to look at other articles which have the formats you need. Wikipedia Help is also very useful and always click on the Preview button before saving so that you can see what it will look like. Vrenator ^talk 15:05, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

why remove ECMerge in diff tools comparison?

Hello,

It seems that you removed the reference to ECMerge in Comparison of comparison tools, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_file_comparison_tools&oldid=466005583 could you explain why? the comment talks about "addition".

ECMerge was there since many years, and is rather well referenced by many source code control tools as a differ (see git, hg, various svn clients...)

Elliecomputing (talk) 14:24, 16 January 2012 (UTC) Best regards Armel (from Ellié Computing)

There were a large number of articles removed which, like ECMerge had no corresponding Wikipedia article. Vrenator ^talk 14:40, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

The policy of the Wiki seems to be to use a full page for a subject only if it is noticeable enough, and use links or sub-sections (as in this comparison page) when the subject is not considered to merit its own page, but then if you delete as well sub-sections because they have not their own page... what can we do? I still believe that a soft that has been around for seven years in this exact domain has its place there. what do you recommand me? Armelec (talk) 08:42, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Zayzew +1 reverted edit

Hello! You reverted my edit, but I think that my edit is not vandalism. I deleted this phrase: "In march 2012 will be held premiere of season 2." That's in fact machine translation from the same Russian article, and there's no any sources to the "premiere of season 2". In fact, some fans in Russian Wikipedia constantly adding lines like "2 season will be in the end of 2011" or "2 season will be in 2011, july", but no any sources and no press-releases until now. So I reverted the original phrase (in russian version of this article) and reverted it on english version. -- 2.60.31.50 (talk) 12:35, 21 January 2012 (UTC).

Hi again,

Would you please excuse my last communication to you, I was replying to you about a message I saw on my comp from you, but it was not meant for me, it was meant for another User. Soooo sorry about this, I think Wiki is too complicated to use sometimes, if you ask me. Like for instance, why does it show a message that looks like it's addressed to me, when it is not? Don't worry you don't have to answer that, I just have to be a lot more careful around Wiki!

An edit was recently undone by you on the Ponderosa High School (Parker, CO) page, in the Notable Alumni section. This was probably justly done, as the edit was ridiculous. However, I fear that you might not have gone far enough. Only a handful of the people on that page are notable in any regard - and many of them have even more trivial (and fabricated) accomplishments than in the edit you deleted.

STiki: A new version and a thank you!

Greetings Vrenator. As the developer of the STiki anti-vandal tool, I would like to thank you for recent and non-trivial use of my software. Whether you just tried out the tool briefly or have been a long-term participant, I appreciate your efforts (as I am sure does the entire Wikipedia community)!

I write to inform you of a new version of the software (link goes to list of new features). This version addresses multiple long-term issues that I am happy to put behind us. Try it out! Provide some feedback!

The STiki project is also always seeking collaborators. In particular, we are seeking non-technical colleagues. Tasks like publicity, talk-page maintenance, advertisement, and barn-star distribution are a burden to technical development. If you are interested, write me at my talk page or STiki's talk page.

As STiki approaches two significant thresholds: (1) 100,000 revert actions and (2) 400 unique users -- I hope to have your support in continuing the efficient fight against unconstructive editing. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 23:54, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Synergy Resources inappropriate deletion

The Synergy Resources page was on par with the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicor page. Both were references for ERP software creators. If the Epicor page continues to exist, then that is an inconsistent application of the guidelines. The "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" link was not available. Making a notification at 1:30AM, then a deletion thereafter gives me no opportunity to respond to the nomination before it is deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dewolfe001 (talk • contribs) 15:42, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

monochromatic

Monochromatic and monochrome are two words, meaning something slightly different. Which one is meant here. I seem to find that the other one is meant here, but perhaps I am wrong. Monochrome is having different shades of the same color and monochromatic is just one color I understand from Webster. May be this is helpful... I hope so.

Wrong isp :P

I think you're mistaken, I've never visited any of these pages in my lifetime!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.163.27.236 (talk) 14:49, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

That warning was put on over a year ago and it was an edit by the IP address you are now using. Vrenator <sup>talk</sup> 12:19, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I found an error in the article (see photo). Copernicus was not a German, he was from Poland. --Top811 my talk —Preceding undated comment added 13:25, 12 May 2012 (UTC).

Wrong person blamed for edit

Hi Venrator. You sent a message just now to the IP address I'm currently using. Your message is at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:60.230.198.136&diff=cur. However, such a messge is pointless, as I get a new IP every time I boot up my PC, as do most people. I've never understood this aspect of how Wikipedia works - it seems dumb. Edits to articles should be forbidden unless (a) the editor is a registered Wikipedian, & (b) he/she is identified by a password or cookie. Not suprisingly, the quality of many articles is dropping. This is pretty sad. Keit60.230.198.136 (talk) 12:22, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

The edit was made from that IP address. Wikipedia is available for anyone to edit and there are many people who check to ensure that the edits are constructive and remove any vandalism. It is recommended that people set up a user account so as not to be blamed for other people's edits, but it is not mandatory. IP's who vandalise Wikipedia repeatedly are blocked from editing for a period of time or permanently if persistent vandalism occurs.Vrenator <sup>talk</sup> 10:06, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

User:Dharmji1

Hello Vrenator, the user Dharmji1 has repeatedly been adding promotional content to Armori, disrespecting your previous warnings. As I checked on this page recently, I noticed he had again added advertisement about his company, this time cleverly embedded in a poorly written "EDUCATION" section, which I deleted. For the sake of the encyclopedia, I impose upon you that you will kindly take action towards an editing block for Dharmji1. Thank you for your help in advance. Regards, Bassmachine89 (talk) 14:56, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. As there is a considerable time lapse since the last warnings I have issued another warning and if the user persists he will be reported and possibly blocked.Vrenator <sup>talk</sup> 08:37, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

You tagged WorldNet_TPS for a possible COI, and I suspect Payjack may have the same situation. Perhaps you know details of the COI. --DThomsen8 (talk) 23:28, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Wrong person

I never edited in Wimbledon 2012 with something bad and you should not make mistakes because you are a robot.oh and this site is very bad because anyone can edit and so most of the information is wrong i quit this site. Peace Out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.200.46.132 (talk) 12:43, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

The warning on your Talk page was put there over a year ago. Someone from the IP you are using vandalised the Wimbledon page. If you get a user name you will not get warnings meant for other people. Vrenator <sup>talk</sup> 13:17, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Editing error

Hi there

I have received a surprise message on Wikipedia saying that I have been given a level 1 warning for malicious editing, on two pages I've never even heard of let alone visited. I think there is clearly some sort of IP error somewhere here. If you email me on mail AT simonvarwell.co.uk I will reply with a screen grab of the error message.

cheers Simon — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.104.210.29 (talk) 18:16, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

The warning was posted in January 2012. Someone editing from this did the edits. I have removed the warning as it is quite old now. Vrenator <sup>talk</sup> 12:38, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Star-crossed page curation

Sorry, you can't speedy a plot summary for lack of significance. I did a little digging (ons Google search...) and it's a self-published book, so I've prodded it. I'm finding some odd speedy tagging since this damn Page Curation thing appeared. Might be down to that. I've looked at it, and didn't like it. And told them so, too. Looks like it ought to be in colour but is displaying in greyscale, and that ******* thing that slides up and down obscures the text and looks like one of those addthis things that pester you to 'like' or 'digg' things. If I get more odd tags from people who usually know what they're doing, I'll start keeping records and checking up - and if I find it's this PC thing, I definitely won't be PC when I let those responsible for it know.. Peridon (talk) 12:51, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about the ******* language... 8-) Peridon (talk) 12:53, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know - I'll try to be more careful! Vrenator <sup>talk</sup> 12:54, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm trying to get into Pc at the moment to see what the tagging thing actually says. When I first looked at PC, the thing followed me, and I told it to go away. I can't get it back at all now! The 'significance. reason may not specify that it's limited in application to things like people, companies, named animals and web content. I've left them a message. As you might gather, I'm not very impressed by it... Peridon (talk) 13:41, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

I've reverted to using the Twinkle options for tagging as it is much clearly. Today was the first time I've come across the PC thing which has some good points such as the popup information about the creator, history etc. Vrenator <sup>talk</sup> 13:44, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

constructive?

First of all, I was the President of the Society for the U.S. Midwest Chapter and know of what I speak. You have allowed a completely DESTRUCTIVE piece to remain unchallenged. You too are propagandists! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.85.210 (talk) 10:18, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

If you have constructive comments on an article, use the article's talk page. Do not "rant" on the article as that is vandalism and will be reverted. Do not insult other editors as you will get yourself blocked from editing. Vrenator <sup>talk</sup> 10:22, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Huggle edit summaries

Is there a reason you removed a lot of the edit summaries for your Huggle actions? - Kingpin<sup>13</sup> (talk) 10:46, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

To be honest I have no idea what you mean. As far as I'm aware I've just downloaded the latest versions of Huggle. The revisions you are referring to are over a year ago so I have no recollection of them whatsoever. If there's something that I've changed and need to change back please let me know. Vrenator <sup>talk</sup> 10:53, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

As you can see in your recent contributions, a lot of your Huggle edits have no edit summary attached. This is because your configuration page at User:Vrenator/huggle.css. Since removing those summaries seems to have been a mistake, I've restored them for you here. You might need to restart Huggle to load that new configuration (and make sure that it doesn't overwrite the changes next time you close it). - Kingpin<sup>13</sup> (talk) 11:19, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Vrenator <sup>talk</sup> 11:24, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

I've downdownloaded Huggle again but every time I start it up it revises the configuration file. Any ideas how I can stop it doing this. Vrenator <sup>talk</sup> 12:03, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm guessing this is your local configuration file. In Huggle, go to System > Options... and click "View local configuration folder". Have a look through config.txt and see if you can find the warn-summary, report-summary etc. in there and if so change them. If that doesn't work, I would suggest you try deleting the local configuration folder (create a back-up first). - Kingpin<sup>13</sup> (talk) 15:02, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Jon Huertas

I unfortunately do not have a good enough source for you, unless going through Jon Huertas' Twitter will do it any good. He hasn't confirmed to anyone publicly that he is engaged, but his girlfriend has a ring on her finger and many fans saw him get congratulated at Comic Con. If anything, his Twitter and such can confirm he that Nicole is his girlfriend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charmbraceletxox (talk • contribs) 06:39, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

You're just in time :)

Greetings, I was just about to place a block on the IP with the school softblock template. If you look at their log the amount from Cluebot NG was 24,000 characters before I stashed them all on a Word Document, this constitues to about 15 Vandalism acts and the majority have came this month. I've been given permission by my school's technicians to place this block. Thanks for your help though. CHCSPrefect (talk) 14:06, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

67.212.84.14 / Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam

It doesn't look like the owner has any intention to stop, it would be best to take this to the Admins, it looks like a school IP to me so it may be best to ask the Admin to check whom it belongs to. Nevertheless that log is definitely shaping up to be block worthy. Meva / CHCSPrefect - (Give cake?) 11:09, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Unconstructive/vandalism

I see that you have reverted an edit in Francis Collins article, and your justification is "unconstructive". For me it is a clear case of vandalism, and actually I think that it is also for you. So, I am intrigued of your motives for labelling it as unconstructive.--Auró (talk) 21:03, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Re:Sphygmomanometer

Hello there, I would just like to say that I didn't mean to leave the page "Sphygmomanometer" blank. Yes I did blank the page (it was a foolish joke with some friends), however I restored the page afterwards. I realise the inconvenience which arises from such incidents and I apologise for that :-) - User:Netsurfer123 20:26, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

George Soros was convicted of insider trading a few years back

Hey dude, you shouldnt jump on the bandwagon of liars like the last dude who removed "ex-con" from Soros article, due to the reference for that verymuch so CONSTRUCTIVE edit, which should be transparent. It was refernce number 38, from the New York Times (International herald Tribune), and i feel that your obvious highly-skilled editorial abilities should be used CONSTRUCTIVELY, elsewhere — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.179.0.179 (talk) 16:30, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Comparison of File Comparison tools

I did not make a page on DiffMerge. I added it to a table in an article comparing many Merge tools, which don't all have dedicated pages. It is ridiculous to delete this because I didn't make a separate dedicated page for DiffMerge. There is no requirement that every mention of something in one page have its own separate page—this creates an undo burden and defeats the purpose of Wiki and community input. If I had the time to do that, I would have. Your automated deletion of what took time and energy to add to the wiki is quite rash. It is a notable tool that operates on all major OSes, and I don't have to justify it to you. Please un-Undo your deletion of my edits, or we can just seek a mod's and/or community input here. Avé 21:12, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

I did not say you made a page on DiffMerge I said that there was previously one which was deleted. I am perfectly aware of what your edits were but the page clearly states that,"This article is limited only to comparison tools that have a separate article on Wikipedia".

Huh?

I changed one word in the Evil Corporations article to better reflect the common perception.
