Dutchess Day School

Hey Poker5463, I'm jimmy. I was just taking a look at your article and I saw that you have no Inline Citations. Also you may want an Infobox for the school. If you need any help just let me know and I can help you. Happy editing OtisJimmyOne 16:36, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, I can definetly help you. I'm a little busy right now but in a few hours I will put an info box on the page and put the inline citations on the article for you so just give me a few few hours an we'll do that. Cheers, OtisJimmyOne 19:46, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and posted an info box on the page for you now try to fill in all the info you can. OtisJimmyOne 00:04, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the smile I just added some more info and a few references. Keep adding references too it just like I did and try to get more information to add to the infobox. OtisJimmyOne 18:13, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Talkback

It was okay that you bought it up. :-) I dream of horses (talk) 19:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, as I mentioned, I'm very new here, and so am not sure exactly what to do. I also realized that the page has only been on Wikipedia for under 2 hours as of this post. Is there a limit on how long an article has to be on wikipedia before is can be proposed for deletion?Poker5463 (talk) 19:09, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

No, there isn't. The second an article is posted on Wikipedia, it can not only be nominated for deletion, it can also actually be deleted! This is to prevent an attack/test/spam page from hanging around too long. --I dream of horses (talk) 19:18, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying this. I have added the NPOV tag, and am working on the explanation on the talk page. Poker5463 (talk) 19:22, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Smile!

Poker5463, I dream of horses has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Go on, smile! Cheers, and happy editing!

Adoption

Greetings Hamtechperson, I see you'd like to be adopted by an sysop. I won't offer myself since I'm not one, but the only adopter who mentions sysop-hood on our Adopters page is User:Jj137. Though he doesn't appear too active nowadays, I suggest you contact him directly or peruse the list for other admins. Whatever the case, my door's always open for questions on my talk page. Good luck and happy editing - Draeco (talk) 05:53, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Re: Can you clarify?

In response to: [1]

Hello, sorry for the long delay in getting back to you. Because the Arbitration process depends heavily on getting everyone's point of view in the situation at hand, it is very disruptive for users to refactor others' posts - the only users who are authorized to edit or remove another's post are Arbitrators and ArbCom Clerks, and even then only for the purposes of removing blatant attacks or irrelevant evidence (the "peripheral material" mentioned), or to shorten excessively long statements or evidence postings per the established guidelines. Anyone who is found repeatedly messing around with the statements of other users may find themselves blocked or banned from further public participation in a case, at the discretion of the Committee and Clerks. I hope this helps, but please let me know if that's still unclear at all. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 21:46, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Re:Adoption

Hi there! Unfortunately, I don't think I would be a particularly good adopter right now. I should probably update my status on that page-- I've very seldom been online the past few months because of time constraints (real life). However, if (when) I once again become an active member of the community, I'll always be here for help. Hope you can understand.   JJ (talk) 02:00, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

RE:Adoption

No problem, and thank you for reverting the offer, take care and enjoy editing MaenK.A._Talk 17:19, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Rollback

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks.

When the only contributor blanks the page don't roll it back. Just mark it with {{db-author}} and it'll be deleted soon. Eeekster (talk) 01:26, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Forgot about that. Also, using Huggle blanks your mind sometimes. Hamtechperson 01:28, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

I know the feeling ;) Eeekster (talk) 01:30, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk: Martyn bomber Bradbury

Hey can I please complain about the libel that keeps getting posted on my wikipedia profile? I keep having a group post up distortions about me and twisting what I have said, I pointed out that it was libel yet you reposted it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.211.88.116 (talk) 04:13, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

If you give me sources that say differently, I'll stop. Hamtechperson 17:29, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Edit: Jason Terry

You removed my recent edit of basketball player Jason Terry. I thought that it an important event that should be recognized, that his college team had to forfeit an entire season of wins because he took money from an agent on multiple occasions while still in college. I did not think that wiki was supposed to be a promotional tool, devoid of negative comments. If the comment was removed for another reason, other than the fact that it was negative, I apologize, but I can't imagine what it is. thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.193.241.9 (talk) 17:41, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

I did this because this seemed to me like vandalism. Since this was unreferenced, I saw it to be posting information that was potentially libelous, and so reverted it. Thank you for being civil about it, and not vandalizing my user page as 1 IP did.Hamtechperson 17:45, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your concern about the possible "vandalisim". I had accidently put copyrighted data on the article. I was correcting the data from what I knew and what I was told by a surgeon.

Vandalism warnings

Hi! I noticed the vandalism warning you left on User talk:74.215.185.238, which includes the "as you did with this edit" note with "this edit" linking to the edit in question. I've always found these warnings more useful, and I was wondering how you generated them. Are the warnings and links to the edit automatically created with Huggle, or is there a separate set of warnings other than WP:WARN? Thanks, liquidluck✽talk 17:08, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Huggle will automatically insert the edits. If you use Twinkle, you can also have the edits automatically marked. Hamtechperson 17:11, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Do you know how to get Twinkle to create the "as you did with this edit" warnings? liquidluck✽talk 17:27, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Just a note

Hey, i've noticed you reverting vandalism lately, and always leaving a level one warning, the one starting with "Welcome to Wikipedia", even if they've vandalized more than once. When you warn someone, leave the appropriate level. Level one goes to first time, two goes after the first warning, and so on.

Thanks!

Pilif12p (contribs) 17:25, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm using Huggle, and so I don't have much control over what message gets left. Sorry! Hamtechperson 17:27, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Ah, i see. I think you can control it some how, but i use twinke. Some people in #wikipedia-en on freenode may know. Pilif12p (contribs) 17:32, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Sami Al-Arian

Hey, some admin is going to come along and take care of it, no doubt. You've already exceeded your allotment of reverts, so just leave it be. In regards to your message above: consider doing your warnings by hand. See Template:Uw-vandalism1 or, for the entire list, Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace. Drmies (talk) 17:51, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Reverting vandalism does not fall under 3rr. I've checked at the help desk. Hamtechperson 17:53, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

That is true, but not everyone might see those edits as pure vandalism--it's not like introducing an obscenity into a BLP or so. It is disruptive, to be sure, but it is always best to stay away after three times. Besides, the person has reasons, and has given those reasons on the talk page, so while an admin may consider blocking them, it's not automatically for vandalism per se. Happy editing, Drmies (talk) 17:57, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

I actually agree that removing an entire infobox is vandalism. Removing the text inside of it would not necessarily be, but removing the entire infobox is definitely vandalism. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L) 18:05, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
