I was wondering if you could supply a source for this addition? Thanks. Guettarda (talk) 04:02, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Pawl TV listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Pawl TV. Since you had some involvement with the Pawl TV redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so).

Your rollback of Risperidone...

I undid your rollback of Risperidone by 204.83.171.145 because in fact Risperidone is used to treat hiccups. Not entirely sure if it was a test edit which happened to be a "lucky guess" or whether they knew what they were doing- in either case it has been reverted and a cite added to the article. Thanks, VictorianMutant (talk) 11:20, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh, sorry about that. It just looked like another silly vandalism edit when I was RC patroling. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 20:42, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Shared IP

Cheers, PCHS. Thanks for the barnstar! Of course, barely a week after they're done, there's talk of changing the whole series of icons. See Template talk:Shared IP edu. I'm always open to something better, so we'll see what Pretzels comes up with. Nice to see you back. --Bsherr (talk) 21:25, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm on and off here these days. I rolled back SharedIPCORP because of lack of consensus to match it identical to SharedIP, but I do believe it could use a little work. I know you're not going to like that, but there was really no consensus to get rid of it. I also put in a {{editprotected}} over at Template talk:ISP to use Shared IP.svg instead of the information icon. Keep up the good work! ;) PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 21:32, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Oy, you're killing me with that SharedIPCORP. It still said "registered to a business" and has the separate category. The language is exactly the same as Shared IP. What's the purpose of keeping them separate?
I also just finished Template:SharedIPPublic/Sandbox.
--Bsherr (talk) 22:14, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
The same is true with most of the shared templates. Nice work with SharedIPPublic. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 16:15, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. You know, that's not so concerning the differences between the templates. Gov includes the SIP notice, Edu includes instruction to use schoolblock, Public includes instruction to use anonblock. Only Corp is exactly the same. I didn't want to bring up the other templates in the TfD, but that's one of the reasons Corp is unneeded. --Bsherr (talk) 21:31, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
CORP should have the SIP notice as well; WP:SIP states that blocks on major corporations like Microsoft and Sun should be brought to the attention of the communications committee. The instructions to use anonblock at Template:SharedIPPublic is indifferent from the instructions at Template:SharedIP if you look closely. Don't you think at least major corporations should have a special template with special instructions? By the way, this is your third revert; may I suggest an RFC or third opinion to settle this matter? PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 22:19, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
Pardon, I mean the instructions about the duration of the block, that the user may be limited to a time interval, at Public, contrasted to Shared IP.
The edit at Corp wasn't intended to be a revert—rather, I deleted the categorization to the deleted category. Since part of your argument was that the purpose of the separate template was preserving the categorization, I thought perhaps the deletion of the category was a change in circumstances. I wouldn't consider it edit warring for you to restore the old design minus the categorization.
SIP would be a difference, but SharedIPCORP is used on all businesses, not just the comparatively few famous corporations contemplated by SIP. And SIP merely suggests, it does not require, notification for famous corporations. I think, given this, a SIP notice is unhelpful. If desirable at all, a wholly separate SIP template could be used on shared and unshared famous corporation IP addresses.
I've also posted a reply on my talk page to your inquiry there.
Regards. --Bsherr (talk) 23:52, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
That's not a bad idea, but I would like to keep it in the form of a shared template. It probably wouldn't be very newsworthy if one non-shared IP had to be blocked unless it traced back to Bill Gates's or Steve Jobs's workstation. I'll play in Template:SharedIPCORP/sandbox and see what you think. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 00:20, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
I follow, but I don't think presently that "it may be a good idea to notify the committee" is strong enough to warrant the SIP notice, particularly when implementing it with the Shared IP template would apply it to a majority of talk pages of IPs to which it would not apply. I'd rather hear from ComCom whether this is desirable from their perspective. --Bsherr (talk) 04:14, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
That's actually an excellent idea. We should ask the opinion of the ComCom members regarding using notices in SharedIP, SharedIPCORP, and/or SharedIPGOV. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 01:59, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

To whom it may concern

Recently you edited the page for Murder of Denise Amber Lee asking for a citation about her using a prepaid cell phone. Here is one of many http://www2.tbo.com/content/2009/feb/20/wp-prepaid-phones-hit-and-miss-when-using-911/

Denise was my daughter-in-law. I attended Michael King's murder trial and being Nathan's mother, I am QUITE familiar with the case. I do not know how to use WIKI otherwise I would be glad to fix this problem. I only wish I knew, recently in the state of Florida they passed a law making it mandatory for all 911 call takers to receive training. Governor Crist signed it into law last summer. It is important for people to realize not all phones and not all states have E911. They should! Some areas in Missouri (for example) do not have 911 at all. If you have questions, please, contact our foundation. MarkLee@DeniseAmberLee.org

We appreciate your interest in Denise's case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.7.242 (talk) 15:42, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! Prepaid phones should, in my opinion, give the same E-911 information as contract phones, but that doesn't mean it's so. It is policy to require citations for information included in articles, hence why I added a "citation needed" note. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 01:17, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on John Morgan (attorney), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Baseball Watcher 01:24, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

I must respectfully disagree; I don't see how the article is any more promotional than the Michele Obama article, for example. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 01:59, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Alison! Facebooks are out there in the open anyway; I post nothing on there that I wouldn't want to end up on Fox News and CNN. Anybody can find them. As for privacy settings, they're a joke.

HI PCHS-NJROTC,

Two things.

  1. I tweaked the section title, hope you don't mind.
  2. You refer to two of Materialscientist's blocks. You need to notify them of the thread, so they can comment.

I apologize for mis-stating or mis-representing the intentions of this wiki entry. The creation of the Creative Nation wiki page is in no way an attempt to advertise or promote the company. Creative Nation is not a company that is selling a product, nor is it a company promoting a service. Rather, it is a private, US music publishing company, that represents a group of distinguished songwriters and musicians, and does not accept unsolicited requests. With the recent announcement of a partnership with Universal Music Publishing Group a separate wiki entry seems necessary. I ask that any proposal to delete this entry be re-considered, and I'm happy to improve the page further, if that would make a difference.

Non-free rationale for File:SW Florida Regional Medical Center.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:SW Florida Regional Medical Center.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:03, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Minor edit

Hi there. I saw you recently reverted the Andrew McCutchen article to the last good version (last good version attributed to myself, incidentally). While it's good you reverted the user's edit and did not bite the user, I would encourage you to avoid using the 'minor edit' button for reverts or instances where you have detected vandalism. Some admins/editors have settings in place to ignore minor edits but reverts or vandalism is something you'd definitely want to make sure was brought to their attention. Cheers! Zepppep (talk) 01:01, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

I usually use either rollback or Twinkle when reverting vandalism, and those tools are responsible for marking the edits as minor, so you'll have to take up the issue with the developers responsible for those tools. In this case, I used rollback to revert the vandalism at Andrew McCutchen and Twinkle to leave a warning message at User talk:173.21.99.19. Thanks for stopping by! PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 01:22, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
Being as I don't use either of those two tools, I would encourage you to bring the issue up with the developers. Perhaps there's a different setting that could be applied or there is a section regarding it in a FAQ section. Admins will like being notified of any article reverts (it can bring their attention to an article that is suffering from edit warring or dealing with vandals. Zepppep (talk) 01:36, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
It's not an issue with Twinkle or Rollback, they are working as intended per Help:Minor edit. According to that page, reverting vandalism is specifically mentioned under "When to mark an edit as a minor edit". There was also a discussion on the talk page about this. Short of a new consensus changing how that page is worded, marking as minor the reversion of vandalism is preferred, because it is a minor edit in that it requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. - SudoGhost 02:02, 17 August 2012 (UTC)\
OK, I digress. I am aware of what is a minor edit. Zepppep (talk) 02:08, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
It was not noted as vandalism in the edit summary. Perhaps including that in the edit summary would suffice. Zepppep (talk) 02:13, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
I'm split on this, because while I know that reversion of vandalism has always been considered a minor edit, vandalism is not all uniform. Really, really blatant vandalism like additions of text like "jane doe is a fat lesbian" is indisputably abusive, some things that look like vandalism to an RC patrol might be good-faith contributions, like removing of large chunks of text. I usually try to use Twinkle and include an edit summary for reversions of such contributions, but there's others that don't. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 02:22, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Banning

Please state reason for blocking my ip based upon vandalism? 64.128.27.82 (talk) 19:09, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

No one said anything about banning your IP... yet. That's just the standard shared IP template, showing that the IP appears to be used by multiple users in a corporate environment. Now if people from that IP go on a vandalism spree, it very well could get blocked, which is why it's always a good idea to create an account when editing from such IPs.
