I believe this biographical entry does not conform to the Wikipedia standards. Specifically, it appears that the subject sees to it that negative material is quickly removed from the entry. More specifically, it is an easily verifiable fact that many members of the Orthodox Jewish community perceive this individual to be a bigot, and his blog to be highly offensive. While the Wikipedia entry does acknoledge that he is hated by many in this commnunity, it does not acknowledge the aformentioned perception. The Wikipedia guidelines are pretty clear in stating that the subject of a biographical entry does not have the right to manage the content to remove negative factual material. While it is not a fact that this fellow is a bigot, it is a fact that many in the community upon which he focuses his blog perceive him to be so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vandenhoogenband ( talk • contribs) 21:44, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Kevin. I've removed rollback from your account, for the reasons outlined at this page. Basically, I see you've made quite a few mistakes when reverting at high speeds (see Yunshui's talk page for details), such as reintroducing some serious BLP vandalism at Rudy Duthil. In addition, Yunshui seemed to grant you the permission without being aware that you'd already had your request declined at WP:RFPERM. And one of the most serious issues: this is not how we treat good faith newcomers, see WP:Don't bite the newcomers. Feel free to request again at WP:RFPERM once you have a bit more experience in handling vandalism. - Kingpin 13 ( talk) 13:56, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

71.173.139.161 ( talk) 06:35, 18 January 2013 (UTC)I said that it is approximately 50% more expensive for NON E-Z Pass users. This information, along with the toll values that I updated, is consistent with the official webpage. I updated the tolls because the amounts previously there applied to a only small portion of the road (between I-370 and MD 97), while the longer segment between MD 97 and I-95 was not reflected at all in the previous toll values. Anyway, I did appreciate your criticism of my edit, but I was frustrated to find that you undid it even though the information was accurate. Before undoing someone's edits, I think it would be a good idea to make sure that the edits are ACTUALLY incorrect. Thanks.
71.173.139.161 ( talk) 05:37, 20 January 2013 (UTC)I am convinced that I am correct. The sentence states the toll amounts for different times of day, and then points out that those rates are for E-Z Pass users, and finally that "others" will be subject to tolls that are 50% higher. In this context, "others" certainly refers to NON E-Z Pass users. I can agree that the word "others" may be a bit ambiguous, but that sentence has absolutely no insinuation that E-Z Pass users pay MORE; that would definitely be a misinterpretation. Here is the sentence in question: "The tolls along the full length of the road (between I-370 and I-95) vary by time of day, ranging from $1.60 overnight to $3.20 in off-peak daytime, and $4 at rush hour (for E-ZPass users; for others toll rates will be approximately 50% higher)"

That is total BS. It is not vandalism, look up the definition of the term.

Hi Kevin, welcome back, and a belated Happy New Year to you. I notice that you're getting stuck in with STiki, which is all well and good, but you seem to be a little over keen to slap the "vandalism" tag on your reverts, and that's not so good. A number of your recent reverts using STiki have labelled good faith edits as vandalism - remember, vandalism is a deliberate attempt to compromise the encyclopedia. Many editors, especially newer ones, make unconstructive edits simply because they are not aware of all Wikipedia's policies and guidelines; these edits, whilst they may damage Wikipedia, are not vandalism. If you are in any doubt whatsoever over an editor's motivation, please assume good faith and revert them normally, rather than tagging their edits as vandalism. Such errors on your part don't help your future ambitions for rollback and/or adminship; and could result in your STiki rights being revoked as well.
Sorry to make my first message of 2013 such a downer. I know that you are working with the best of intentions, but your zeal seems to be outweighing your judgement more often than it should. I'd suggest you slow down with the anti-vandal work for a time, and concentrate on other areas of Wikipedia for a while - make 2013 the year you got three DYK articles onto the Main Page, or created a Good Article from scratch, or participated in fifty AFD discussions, or reviewed fifty AFC submissions, or participated in move discussions, or helped resolve disputes (or graduated from adoption school...). There's more to Wikipedia than vandal-spanking, even for the most enthusiastic STiki operator. All the best, Yunshui 雲 水 10:31, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi - I'm new to editing on Wikipedia so please forgive my missteps. I simply wanted to update the upper management listed on our company page. It's severely out-of-date. I tried to read through policies, but I'm sure you can understand it is slightly daunting to someone just wanted to switch out a few names. If there is a different way to go about it, please let me know! Thanks so much! Also, Im still figuring out these User Talks, signatures, timestamps, etc. Sorry if this is all wrong.

Hi Kevin, I'm sorry that my post didn't appear constructive to you. Consistency would then imply that other items should also be removed from the "Medical Fetishism" list. I honestly think that Tampons would be viewed as far more of a Medical Fetish item than a Menstrual Cup would? Just my opinion been expressed from very specific knowledge of the subject. — Preceding

I have no prior knowledge of the subject - therefore in this predicament you are the expert. Focusing on the discussion at hand, I would disagree that a menstrual cup would be viewed as less of a medical fetish item as tampons would. Tampons are applied to a genital area, which does not make it fall into the category of "fetish". Unfortunately, I may have committed a minor error on my part that issued a warning to you. I did mean to revert your edit, but not issue you a warning. For my error I apologize, but I'm glad you asked when you disagreed with another editor. I will remove your warning. Cheers! Kevin12xd ( talk) ( contribs) 00:40, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Thank you Kevin. For you to broaden your knowledge of the subject, I can refer you to other online articles which can confirm that the insertion of tampons is very much considered a "fetish" subject - if used by males! Refer to entries for "Menophilia" - where menstrual blood, tampons, etc are turned into a fetish. Your statement that tampons are "applied to a genital area" should then be exactly the same as for menstrual cups - for they too are "applied to a genital area", so there shouldn't really be any distinction between whether one belongs on the 'fetish' page or not based solely on your judgement criteria of whether or not they are "applied to a genital area". Do a search on Google for "Tampon Fetish" and do another for "Menstrual Cup Fetish" - I guarantee you that you will find pages of results for tampons and probably none for menstrual cups. Now that you are further informed about the subject, I urge you to consider reversing my edit's rollback please. Thank you
Hi Kevin, I undid your nomination at RfB since it was improperly formatted. Additionally, you should ask Yunshui first if they wanted to be nominated, and after they accept it will be transcluded to the main RfA page. Legoktm ( talk) 20:53, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Kevin. Sorry if my response last night seemed a bit snappy. I'm flattered that you think I'd make a good beuaro buraue beuareau crat-thing, but an RfB really isn't something to randomly spring on people. For the sake of comparison, when I ran for RfA I was discussing the requirements with my eventual nominator for a good six months beforehand, taking care to make sure that I was genuinely ready to take on the duties of an administrator, that I understood all the relevent policies and that I had a good grasp of how the admin tools should be used. Right now, I don't believe I'm anywhere near capable of serving competently as a buraeu bourau oh ffs crat: I don't yet have enough experience in establishing consensus to be a reliable arbiter of RfA discussions, and whilst I'm fairly au fait with the username policy, I don't feel I've done enough work in account creation for the community to trust me with rename rights. Plus I know next-to-nothing about bot operation, so I'd be downright useless at
BAG. It's also worth remembering that, like adminship, being a buraeu beauraeu bureaucrat (YES!) is nothing special; just extra tools and with them, extra responsibility - it doesn't endow one with any additional authority or kudos. I might consider taking the RfB route in a year or two, but right now, whilst I'm grateful for the vote of confidence, it's really not a good idea.

Hi Kevin. Your enthusiasm is appreciated but please note that PERM is not an RfA style vote for candidates, and that non admin comments from new and/or inexperienced users are rarely, if ever, helpful. Admins will do all the necessary research before deciding to accord or deny requests for user rights. You may also want to do something about the aggressive edit notice on the top of this talk page - generally at Wikipedia we try to be welcoming and WP:AGF, rather than automatically assume the worstis coming.

Not sure whether or not you're old enough to drink in your jurisdiction, but either way, I'm raising this (sadly entirely fictitious) glass in honour of you getting your rollback rights back and picking up reviewer rights as well. Congratulations! Yunshui 雲 水 20:09, 23 January 2013 (UTC) |
Hi Kevin, I'm sorry that my post didn't appear constructive to you. Consistency would then imply that other items should also be removed from the "Medical Fetishism" list. I honestly think that Tampons would be viewed as far more of a Medical Fetish item than a Menstrual Cup would? Just my opinion been expressed from very specific knowledge of the subject. — Preceding

I have no prior knowledge of the subject - therefore in this predicament you are the expert. Focusing on the discussion at hand, I would disagree that a menstrual cup would be viewed as less of a medical fetish item as tampons would. Tampons are applied to a genital area, which does not make it fall into the category of "fetish". Unfortunately, I may have committed a minor error on my part that issued a warning to you. I did mean to revert your edit, but not issue you a warning. For my error I apologize, but I'm glad you asked when you disagreed with another editor. I will remove your warning. Cheers!

Thank you Kevin. For you to broaden your knowledge of the subject, I can refer you to other online articles which can confirm that the insertion of tampons is very much considered a "fetish" subject - if used by males! Refer to entries for "Menophilia" - where menstrual blood, tampons, etc are turned into a fetish. Your statement that tampons are "applied to a genital area" should then be exactly the same as for menstrual cups - for they too are "applied to a genital area", so there shouldn't really be any distinction between whether one belongs on the 'fetish' page or not based solely on your judgement criteria of whether or not they are "applied to a genital area". Do a search on Google for "Tampon Fetish" and do another for "Menstrual Cup Fetish" - I guarantee you that you will find pages of results for tampons and probably none for menstrual cups. Now that you are further informed about the subject, I urge you to consider reversing my edit's rollback please. Thank you
Hi Kevin, I undid your nomination at RfB since it was improperly formatted. Additionally, you should ask Yunshui first if they wanted to be nominated, and after they accept it will be transcluded to the main RfA page. Legoktm ( talk) 20:53, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Kevin. Sorry if my response last night seemed a bit snappy. I'm flattered that you think I'd make a good beuaro buraue beuareau crat-thing, but an RfB really isn't something to randomly spring on people. For the sake of comparison, when I ran for RfA I was discussing the requirements with my eventual nominator for a good six months beforehand, taking care to make sure that I was genuinely ready to take on the duties of an administrator, that I understood all the relevent policies and that I had a good grasp of how the admin tools should be used. Right now, I don't believe I'm anywhere near capable of serving competently as a buraeu bourau oh ffs crat: I don't yet have enough experience in establishing consensus to be a reliable arbiter of RfA discussions, and whilst I'm fairly au fait with the username policy, I don't feel I've done enough work in account creation for the community to trust me with rename rights. Plus I know next-to-nothing about bot operation, so I'd be downright useless at
BAG. It's also worth remembering that, like adminship, being a buraeu beauraeu bureaucrat (YES!) is nothing special; just extra tools and with them, extra responsibility - it doesn't endow one with any additional authority or kudos. I might consider taking the RfB route in a year or two, but right now, whilst I'm grateful for the vote of confidence, it's really not a good idea.

Hi Kevin. Your enthusiasm is appreciated but please note that PERM is not an RfA style vote for candidates, and that non admin comments from new and/or inexperienced users are rarely, if ever, helpful. Admins will do all the necessary research before deciding to accord or deny requests for user rights. You may also want to do something about the aggressive edit notice on the top of this talk page - generally at Wikipedia we try to be welcoming and WP:AGF, rather than automatically assume the worstis coming. Happy editing, and if you need help with anything any time, don't hesitate to ask me :) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 02:21, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
