Does Wikipedia even work anymore? Are you just bored?

What a sad life you must have, editing articles when you don't know the facts or people concernted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Waltzingmatilda57 (talk • contribs) 17:46, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi. If you believe that anything in Wikipedia is wrong, then be bold and change it. Do be prepared for some opposition to your edits from time to time though.

Personally, I have always believed that many of the statistics included in certain articles constitute original research, as someone has to work them out. The section you are referring to has no direct reference for the information.

Best wishes. Ref ^(chew)(do) 21:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Parmjit Dhanda entry and pineapplemystery

I can't discern any way of responding to the message from Fieldday-sunday in like fashion, so I'll just say that my edit (in response to the abovementioned pineapplymystery who deleted my passage about the PD website refusing to permit critical comments was, in my opinion, *extremely* constructive, but you may need to be a resident of Dhanda's constituency, Gloucester, to fully appreciate that. I will resist the efforts of pinapplemystery or anyone else to censor information about http://www.parmjitdhanda.co.uk/ and it's blatantly onesided agenda.

Edit: it's obviously the view of Fieldday-Sunday that my addition to the Parmjit Dhanda Wikipedia entry is 'vandalism'. I clearly disagree. I believe the entry is incomplete if it doesn't cover the iron control his website admin exercise over comments. Now, I am threatened with having my editing privileges removed if I don't permit Matthew Gilson (a PD staff member who was was also talked into standing as a 'paper' candidate in the last city council elections, another sign of Labour being on it's last legs in Gloucester) to delete my contribution, and leave it incomplete. And this could all be avoided if they simply *didn't* impose de facto censorship on the few people who can even be botrhered to take an interest in their site.

Edit 2: I still have no idea how to contact you directly, in the same way as you send warnings to me. I also have no idea whether people like Matthew Gilson know how to do this, and complain to you directly, or if you are doing all of this off your own bat. You certainly seem to be very busy, judging by current 'contribs', but I wonder if you have time to exercise carefully considered judgement, or observe a very Manichean discipline on edits instead? I *do* know that if I am not to be allowed to set the record straight on our Gloucester branch of Labour's clampdown on speech here, I will do so where it cannot be ignored. It didn't have to be so.

rollback

Does Wikipedia even work anymore? If you want people to be bold and change it then why ignore the content of what they are doing? My factual corrections to a tabloid set of mistatements in an article has been pointlessly and needlessly undone by someone who never knew that person, their family, or the facts I am trying to set straight. Some admin in Wales rejected every change for no reason. Care to give informational support? Or are you just bored?

I didn't know Wikipedia admins were rejecting information "not to their taste".I'll be sure to document in my cotent article elsewhere how "factual" wikiepedia was in their approach to deceiving vistors about this entry.

The sandbox is broken. The talk page is empty of action items. The supposed avenue of conduting wikipedia suggested actions is null and void. Why is this?

The suggestion of the feedback to go to the talk page is a dead end as there is nothing but a stub with no action possible but to join ANOTHER unconnected project??????? How does the factual mistatement of these items get fixed when Wikipedia itslef refuses to allow the very changes it deynamics were born to fix?

Hello Fieldday-sunday.
I have noticed that you revert a lot of vandalism. Have you heard of rollback before? It allows a user to revert vandalism much faster than by undo-ing it. I think you should ask for it. I am not an admin, or I would give it to you myself. I wrote this just to let you know about the existence of rollback because before someone randomly gave it to me, I did not know it existed. If you ask for it, you should have no problem getting it, as you clearly have an excellent grasp of what constitutes vandalism. Good luck, and may the vandals fail...

Sir John Leman ("vandalism"?)

My edit on the sir john leman high school page, which you claimed constitued vandalism, was nothing but an honest account of the school from the veiw point of not just one but many students. Unlike what is already on the page, what i wrote was true, as opposed to propoganda. You have no right to dismiss the opinions of those who have first hand experience of life within the school as "vandalism". Nothing that was presented was anything but truth, and what i added simply revealed the facts about the school as opposed to the misinformation that was present. I was under the impression that wikipedia was about providing accurate and realistic information, not presenting people with lies and cover-ups about what life is really like within certain establishments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.213.243 (talk) 16:04, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism warning

Your removal of a POV tag is against Wikipedia policy, and constitutes an act of vandalism. Please do not remove POV tags until they have been completely discussed in the article's talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.222.149.167 (talk) 16:35, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

John Michell

My edit contained no incorrect information, and was not vandalism. Please could you state what you find objectionable, rather than just removing my edit. Better still, please check the information out for yourself, and then, if you have anything to raise, come to the Discussion page for the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.84.237.105 (talk) 11:15, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

AIV

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If they continue to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you!

Google Vandalism

Everytime Google alerts the world to a special event the vandals come out in force to hit Wikipedia. What do you think about someone putting a temporary lock on any Google-alerted pages early to keep the vandals at bay? --Cdman882 (talk) 14:03, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Rock music WikiProject

I'd like to invite you to join the newly-formed Rock music WikiProject. There's alot of Rock-related articles on Wikipedia that could use a little attention, and I hope this project can help organize an effort to improve them. So please, take a look and if you like what you see, help us get this project off the ground and a few Rock music pages into the front ranks of Wikipedia articles. Thanks! --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 09:18, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Speedy Deletion Tagging

Hey there. Just a reminder to double-check what you're tagging a page with before actually applying it. With reference to Tim Marsh, the author had not requested deletion - instead, they were actively trying to remove the speedy deletion tag. Because your tag was applied later, however, that was the reason given for deletion. Obviously, it doesn't really matter in this case, because it needed to be deleted anyway, it's just great to be careful. Cheers, Ale_Jrb^talk 17:55, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. Based on the large number of complaints about your edits to Wikipedia, it comes as no surprise to me that you reverted my changes to the A-Frame page. Popular culture is an integral part of the Wikipedia experience. I'm assuming you are unaware of what Graham's Adventure Question Game is, and thusly made the revert. Moments from now I will be reverting your bad-faith edit to the A-Frame page. Please exercize a bit of civility when making your edits. Further reverts of this nature will be considered vandalism and you will be reported. You're welcome. Edemehpecne (talk) 20:56, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Subtext of the Persian Gulf anon edits

The anon made a handful of edits, and I wonder if this single-purpose account is not actually a devil's advocate.
