Hi there, I'm glad I got someone's attention. PLEASE do something about the Jobs' daughter article. She has no right to be on there, she is a nobody (Don't tell, they'd banish us you know!) and the page needs to be deleted. Is there anywhere I can post my opinion about wanting the article deleted? I commented on the discussion, but you removed it. (Not mad, just asking.) 166.248.32.55 (talk) 04:14, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
The Russia House
Hello. You just reverted an edit I made to the sentence, "The CIA / SIS are not inclined to subject him to interrogation, or extract any other sort of revenge, reasoning that the KGB has already worn him down, gotten the information they needed." on the grounds that it didn't seem constructive. Surely the sentence as quoted is ungrammatical and uses inappropriate vernacular? I'd suggest that at the very least the final comma should be replaced with an 'and' to provide proper conjunction, and further that 'gotten' should be replaced with something less colloquial. In my initial edit I substituted 'obtained'. This is my first edit, so apologies if I've acted out of turn. QuickiWiki Look Up — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.10.203.151 (talk) 02:20, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, the wording was great, it was the two lines of "QuickiWiki Look Up" at the bottom that made me assume the intent was vandalism. May I ask why you put that at the bottom of your edits? Trusilver 02:22, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
user:wallsy
So, apparently I have two accounts. I have the password for this one saved in my browser and had forgotten the other existed. Someone found my user page on that other account and I realised it just had some stupid shit from a few years ago on it that seemed funny at the time, but didn't really need to be there, so I logged in and blanked it, not realising I was on the wrong account. I've dons it from the other one now so it should be more clear that it was intentional. Tiggum (talk) 03:22, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, okay. Not a problem at all. Would you like me to just have that page deleted for you? Trusilver 04:51, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- No, that's fine, I did it from the other account. Tiggum (talk) 12:32, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- I meant permanently deleted, not just blanked. You did appear to have some personal information on there that is still easily retrievable by anyone, even if blanked. It can be permanently removed if you so wish it. Trusilver 14:53, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
Illinois County, Virginia
You should look at external links and use your judgment before deleting them from pages. Simply making a list of sites and automatically deleting them without reading them is not helpful to readers or wikipedia itself. The link was to a map that clarified confusion users were having distinguishing Illinois Country from Illinois County. It was useful, appropriate, and followed guidelines. You apparently did not look at it before deleting. If you are using a bot, this is only another example of why they should not be allowed. Harnlp (talk) 06:42, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- I looked over the site quite a bit before deleting it. It is a tiny, nearly useless map that is surrounded by oh-so-many commercial links. You may explain why this link is supremely pertinent to the article before I revert it again. See WP:ELNO, bullet point number five. The link would be fine except that the entire useful portion of the link seems there as an afterthought to get people to click on commercial links. In the meantime, I'm assuming good faith and not deleting the link again for a day or so because I feel you are genuinely trying to be helpful and there is no evidence of commercial linkspam in your edit history. Trusilver 06:53, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- If I was was wrong about the bot I'm sorry. Its one of the main reasons I choose not to contribute to wikipedia on a regular basis. I write something and minutes after saving it's deleted after hours of research. In regards to this specific link, I don't usually pay any attention to adds on sites. This site apparently has one large add under the title with fill in blanks which I agree is misleading, but hardly unusual on the internet. Below that, however, is an extremely useful interactive map that allows the user to click through the years and watch the Virginia counties, including Illinois County 1778-1784, evolve through time. I added the info and the link because several people keep confusing Illinois County, Virginia (a historical extinct county) with Illinois Country (a term used to describe an area east of the Missisippi). They previously redirected the Illinois County, Virginia page to Illinois County, blanked the Illinois County page and redirected to Illinois Country, and added a distinguish template to Illinois County creating a circular redirect. Very confusing to people researching historical Virginia. I thought the map was necessary to alleviate some of the confusion. I'll leave it up to you to decide weather to leave it or not. Harnlp (talk) 08:22, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I'm always wary when the first thing in front of me when I click a link is an ad (yeah, that first ad was what immediately made me react negatively), but the content of the site is directly applicable to the article. I have certainly seen MUCH worse sites in external links sections before, so I'm not going to sweat this one too much. Have a good day and happy editing. Trusilver 09:19, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks Harnlp (talk) 09:57, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
Jonathon Ogden
You removed my edit on Jonathon Ogden. The original entry was a direct quote, which was incorrect. I entered the correct quote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.66.226.3 (talk) 18:05, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- That's no problem. Any chance you could find a reference for the quote? Trusilver 18:08, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
You reverted my edit in Tim Cook page for Vandalism
Hi Trusviler,
You reverted my edit that i did in Tim cook's page for Vandalism. I don't know what i edited wrong in it. Please review and personally educate me as i'm a new wikipedian.
Thanks,

- Sorry about that my revert was in error. It's back to your revision. Have a great day :) Trusilver 20:20, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

It is a fan made game! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.178.177.94 (talk) 23:09, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
- I'm afraid you are going to have to be FAR more specific to what you are talking about. Trusilver 23:11, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
- Talk:Super Mario Bros. Crossover. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.178.177.94 (talk) 23:21, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. Then the correct way you should have framed the inquiry on the talk page was in the form of a coherent, intelligent-sounding question as to why the article exists considering it is a fan-made game. That would have been helpful for us to understand your rationale whereas "WTF, why is this here?" is not. Trusilver 23:25, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
Adminship
Hey, Trusilver, you should re-nominate yourself for adminship. Spidey665 00:10, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
- Good God, why would I want to do something like that? Under certain circumstances, I might one day accept a nomination, but I wouldn't even consider volunteering for such a thing. Being an admin has its upsides and its downsides. The upside, especially when it comes to anti-vandalism (which is primarily what I used them for), is that the tools make you faster and more efficient. The downside is that it's very easy to become mired down in bureaucracy. My losing the mop was the best thing that could have happened to me at that given moment in time because the alternative would have been permanent retirement - I had gotten so frustrated and disillusioned with the project that I was on the verge of quitting anyway. Losing the mop was what kept me on the project, it changed my focus away from all the irritants that I couldn't change, and focused me back on the reasons I started editing to begin with. I have certainly grown since then and cultured a very strong ability to not give a fuck. Would being an admin again change that? Would it turn me back into a stressed out, surly administrator who is pissed off at anyone and everyone on the project? I really don't know. I'll say the same thing that I said a year and a half ago... maybe one day. Trusilver 00:23, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
- My bad, there. Spidey665 00:28, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
- Not a problem :) It's a decision I would not make lightly, hence the strict requirements for me to consider it again. Trusilver 00:53, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
