User talk:ZacBowling/Archive1

Hello everyone. Please note that I'm often vandal patrolling. If I reverted your edit on accident, I'm sorry and only human. Feel free to revert it back if I made a mistake, or leave me a note below with the page name. Thanks!

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Fairbalanced.jpg)

I didn't do anything... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.95.240.175 (talk) 20:36, 20 November 2007 (UTC) Thanks for uploading Image:Fairbalanced.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).[reply]

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Fox News Channel

I responded to your comments and {{citation needed}} tag on FNC by adding some citations to the article and a comment to the talk page. Let me know if you feel further citation is required. Also, I think the orphaned image above might actually look better on the article page than the cropped one...maybe improve the article and save an orphaned image by swapping them. Thanks for your input on FNC, auburnpilot talk 01:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Removing content from Genius Bar

If you'll notice, there were relevant edit summaries for all the changes I have made to this article. If you'll notice, the one in particular was "rv "reservation policy" section, not appropriate for an encyclopedic article". Which is true. Pick an article for a fancy restaurant, I doubt you'll find that they require reservations included. Please refrain from taking edits personally and accusing others of vandalism for disagreeing with you. – Fʀɪɺøʟɛ _{( тɐʟк • ¢ʘи†ʀ¡βs )} 16:47, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Age category

Hello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options:

Using an age group category, such as Category:Wikipedians in their 30s
Using a decade category, such as Category:Wikipedians born in the 1970s.

If you wish, you may do both. Hopefully, this change in categorization will be quick and painless. Happy editing! --An automated message from MessedRobot 13:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

MonoDevelop

Hi Zac, this article has been deleted twice. The first admin to delete did so because the entry was just a couple of links. I deleted this time because the article was promotional and unencyclopaedic. Sentences like it can be challenging to remember all the classes, methods, or properties that are at your disposal. MonoDevelop's intelligent code completion attempts to complete what you're typing. If it finds a match, just hit tab and MonoDevelop will do the typing for you. are typical. I don't know if this topic meets the notability guidelines, because neither I nor the former admin deleted on that basis, but assuming that it does, there is nothing else to stop you creating a proper article.

WP:CVU status

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

Chris Crocker edit

Hi, as his opening the Fox-related show doesn't air until later this month I suggest waiting until then and see if reliable sources speak to exactly what you refer, that way it can be referenced properly and we avoid POV. Benjiboi 23:16, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Leon Schiller

Re your reversion of my edits on "Leon Schiller" and your note on my talk page ("Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page Leon Schiller worked, and it has been reverted"), please explain. I am not new to Wikipedia, I have done a lot of work on it, and I put a lot of effort into unscrambling the mess that was originally the "Leon Schiller" article.

International Sahaja Public School

There is ongoing discussion about critical links on this page. The person who removed them has not contributed to that discussion and nor, it seems, have you. I'm new to WP, but I understand that it's best not to launch into edits before checking if the content of those edits has been the subject of discussions.--Simon D M (talk) 18:41, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

John Roman Baker

I have no idea why you reverted the edits of someone who had improved the artcle. You gave no explaination whatsoever in your summary nor on the talk page. I've reverted your edit because you had no good cause. Be careful next time, please. - Jeeny ^(talk) 19:42, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki etiquette

Please don't template me with welcome messages and other blather. If you have a problem with an edit I made, discuss it. There was nothing wrong with any edits I made to John Roman Baker. I invite you to work more slowly so as not to irritate your wiki colleagues. Jeffpw (talk) 19:43, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So let me get this straight. You reverted without looking at the article because you saw "gay", "homosexual" and "AIDS". I realize that vandalism is a major problem on Wikipedia, but most is usually caught quickly. There's no need to blindly revert because you see some trigger words. The subject in question is a gay, AIDS positive playwright. Thank you for caring about Wikipedia, but please take the time to look before you leap. The Wikipedia is not going anywhere. Jeffpw (talk) 19:54, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Again I'm sorry. My tool flags common keywords in all recent changes. Usually non IP edits don't up on my radar unless it goes over a specific quota of keywords. When I'm running through them, all I can see is diffs which only give me a limited amount of context to judge if an edit is good or not. I rack up a good 250 reverts an hour on a good day and on rare occasion I slip on one or two. --ZacBowling^talk 20:03, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Revert on Alotta Fagina

I know you're only human (as you so well put it), but I still need to ask you why you reverted my edit in the article Characters in Austin Powers? "Ini Minkussa" is the Danish translation on the Nordic DVD. I understand if there would be a plethora of translations, but then the comment () should be removed - not the addition made by Wikipedia contributors (and FYI I'm patrolling (and reverting) edits as sysop myself on the Danish Wikipedia, so... vandalism isn't my thing). --apoltix (talk) 19:49, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal patrol advice

While vandal patrol is important, please take my friendly advice and dig further into the edits to make SURE the edits ARE really vandalism. Just because someone adds "Gay" and "homosexual" doesn't mean it's vandalism. Gay and homosexual are not dirty words. Again, be more careful. Thanks - Jeeny ^(talk) 19:57, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I've been doing vandal patrol for over a year. I get about 250 reverts in an hour and only about 1 in 1500 are mistakes. I usually get what the bots don't on the first pass. ZacBowling^talk 20:08, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your good work, Zac! You haven't reverted any of mine, so I'm not complaining :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 01:47, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know the numbers, but I'm guessing the number of *very* active Wikipedians is probably pretty small :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 23:22, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Claud Heathcote-Drummond-Willoughby

Hello. You seem to be a serious editor and I assume you made a mistake here. Wikipedia:Notability (people) states that "Politicians who have held international, national or statewide/provincewide office, and members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislature" are generally notable. As a British MP for twelve tears Heathcote-Drummond-Willoughby clearly meets this guideline. I see now that the tag has been removed so I don't need to ask you to remove it.
