I’ve had email discussions with Mr Dawkins and I find that this man is not open to any agreement, for instance he wrote a book review on a book which didn’t dismiss the theory of evolution, it just discussed the problems with the theory. The review he wrote was appalling he didn’t use real science and he poked fun at the author. When I wrote to Mr Dawkins just to ask him why he didn’t dismiss the author scientifically . He wrote a very rude message to me without actually using science. I think there should be a critics section on Mr Dawkins page, this is due to the fact he does not defend his believe he just attacks others.

The links I placed are all relevant and well known companies within the audio book industry. Just because a audio book site has commercial value does not mean it is spam. How you classify these links as spam baffles me. Perhaps this should go into some sort of arbitration rather than you threatening me with being blocked. freeb26 09:14, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

A note on my edit of the Dallas Cowboys page. The very first sentence on the page read "The Dallas Cowboys are a bunch of faggots based in..." I went into the edit this page tab to delete this comment, but could not find the infringing word. Rather than spend all day trying to find it, I deleted the first few sentences. I apologize for the confusion. And on that note, could you teach me how to find these 'hidden' comments which seem to be embedded in several wiki entries? -- 70.113.97.222 19:03, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to say that I've only added links to pages I have added meaningful content to. I added a useful link to "how to read a credit report" alongside a Canadian publication, and just because it's not from the government it carries no weight. Seems a little shortsighted.
I also added a new section on the refinance page, then added a link in the reference section which simply acts as documentation as to where that information came from. I think that's more than fair if you add quality content to pages within Wikipedia.
How can I add links to site that provide useful information to pages on Wikipedia in the future?
I don't want to be a spammer. I want to contribute, but I also want to get recognition for doing so.
I also pulled this from your help pages: "Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons. Sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews."
I know it also says generally you shouldn't link to blogs or websites without recognized authors, but if they are willing to keep my content, and not provide a link, I feel this system is lacking. Please let me know what we can do to resolve this. Should I use a citation right next to my additions so admin knows my additions are associated with my links? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scot184 ( talk • contribs).

Hi I am the author of 'VBA Tutor'. I have provided my VBA Tutorial on the internet for the last 8 years. Any Google search for "VBA Tutor" will list my page first. I added a link to my Tutorial in the VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) reference page, which was deleted because you deemed it to be inappropriate. Nice to play God! However, I am unsure of why you consider it to be inappriopriate addition. Have you had a look at what I provide at my website? I provide five free lesson that provide a good introduction to VBA for anyone wanting to know how to use VBA, or as a general introduction to computer programming. If people wish to continue on to learn more advanced skills, then I offer 35 additional lessors for the large sum of US$11.00. Being retired, this small amount pays for my expenses to provide this service, by providing several web sites where VBA Tutor can be located. I offer considerable help via email to ANYONE who contacts me regarding a VBA issue. I do not charge for this personal help or make it conditional on being a purchaser of my VBA Tutor. I provide 'VBA Tutor' largely as a service to everyone. I added my link so people could find help if they needed it about VBA. If you do not want people to access help on how to use VBA from Wikipedia, then that is fine by me.

However i think I am going to be away when the protection runs out, so I would appreciate it if you could add it to your watchlist and keep track of it. I was planning to either reinstate the protection for another short period, or, more likely habd out a few short blocks ofr edit warring if the dipute spills over into the article again, however I will leave it up to your discretion as to how you deal with it.

just because you are not english doesnt mean the information is not interesting and useful for english people.

im creating information and adding it, I made it clear it was not comprehensive and needed details
I dont understand your problem.
New ventures and idea are interesting to a lot of people, and as we grow more people will want to learn aboutus. having this article gives people this info.
it is very popular in the uk to look at new up and coming businesses and people want to support not hinder them.

Now given this I dont understand why you decided it was suitable for people to read. Surely an ecncyclopedia is a compilation of everything not just those chosen by people of a certain interest type.

Hello, can you check ip 58.8 if it belongs to mkil, he may be using those, or may try to get others in trouble. If you go on rocky talk page, i explained in detail, also on my talk page, I am requesting more protection over rocky page, since mkil has his mind set on destroying it and adding his own wit to it, I believe current version is good, he will revert it claiming info is missing, it needs cleaning up, etc, etc, etc, all explained. I just do not want that guy to touch that site, because of him we had all this problems. By the way, only administrators can look into whose ip is it? By the way, how to archive things, put music, photos and rectangular square in color on talk page? User_talk: BoxingWear
Yea, good to know you protect it. I am suspectig mkil of being user 58.8 and possibly 64. I did what I could and according to best boxing knowledge. I will be glad to resolve problem, but mkil is the problem, i am not blaming anybody else, i mean, well, look on my talk page...
Like I thought, 64 is not mkil but other ip may be, PTO was engaged by Mkil from the beginning, it's possible they are in collusion and may very well be good friends for a long long time. No, again, it has been explained and I reject the statemetn above, Mr. Mkil did not just fix bad language or clean up things, again and again and AGAIN, he has been killing tons and tons of info, for example the 8000 people who attended baker-valdez fight, he kept on killing that, when i provided sources (he always needs sources even to prove i am breathing), then he himself inserted that, EVEN, added additional info on that- As far as the greatest link, we all came to an agreement on that, whatever link mkil put there few days ago, it's cool with me. When I accuse of vandalism, i never, ever do that after few edits, i did this after 10 days, after mkil kept on pushing his own way, i tried to make this article correct and i cleaned up lots of bad things the other day. If I reverted the link to the greatest that we all agreed, i did not mean to, if I did I probably took the wrong site from reverted history. Also, i respect other people's work, whatever good mkil wrote (again, he is putting words into my mouth) I reverted my edit and put his, whatever is reliable and I can prove his statements, I did it what was right, now mkil is vandalizing this... For example this is important...
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Rocky_Marciano&diff=104202122&oldid=104201378 Here's the evidence i reverted what i reverted and corrected his code. And here's evidence of vandalism or near vandalism...
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Rocky_Marciano&diff=104209909&oldid=104206647 Mkil killed info on possible baker and valdez vs rocky fight, above, he killed important dates, locations and so on, but if he did not kill it all, he made some changes. Then he killed Ingemar comeback details, there were other reasons why Rocky did not get a chance to fight Ingemar...
He removed:
Marciano considered a comeback in 1959 when Ingemar Johansson won the heavyweight championship from Patterson in June 1959. However, since Patterson's contract required to a rematch, Rocky had to hope Patterson would loose again. Rocky was hoping of becoming the first heavy-weight chamption to win the title two time. After a month of training, however, Marciano decided against it and never considered a comeback again.
All these things are of huge importance, this article needs to be reverted to my version, this guy is simply KILLING DATES, DETAILS AND SO ON, AGAIN AND AGAIN, HE NEEDS LINKS AND PROOF TO EVERYTHING THAT WALKS AND BREATHS. I am not saying mkil is totally bad, i am sure he is doing a fine job with other edits, i barely tough his other work but Mkil should simply not be allowed to ever touch marciano page. I hate to sound like a jerk, but from day one mkil has been killing anything that has to do with the greatest, then we agreed he was one of the greatest, so he stopped, i mean, if he did not do this, i would not be arguing with him today over little things. I mean, this costs my time, but I can not allow certain people to have things their own way. Especially those who have time on their hands and use power of persuasion, power of well connected words. I do not have problem with mkil's other edits, but I will not allow him to destroy marciano site. But there are times when he simply follows up my contributions and changes something here and there on purpose just to get me going... I was approached by other users in november and december to watch over marciano site, i wanted some evidence why, i waited for a month, then i decided, page should remain under my supervision. Meaning, investigating edits from people like mkil, people who simply are pusing the limits. Can you track ips if a user logs on with normal handle? It's most probable, It's obvious 58.8 is Mkil... Now, that his back is turned to the wall, he is coming up with other things, for example..
The following has been taken from mkil talk...
Re:User talk:58.64.103.227
You do some fine work. Good find on the Duva cite. Also, thanks for cleaning up my Marciano book reference.
Why not register with a Wikipedia account so you can establish a history here? You seem like you'd be a good addition. MKil 23:04, 19 January 2007 (UTC)MKil
Thank you. My English skill is very poor.i am just a boxing fan in a faraway country. all i can do for Wikipedia is just finding some source, remove or add a short sentence. :) actually i am the editor who added IBRO citation for the Louis page. that meant we have talk talked once at Louis' talk page :) btw, i saw you editing boxer page in Wikipedia for times. i like your works. Keep working :)
Why, all of a suddent, 2 minutes after my war with mkil started, why did this guy say his english skill is very poor, that was exactly, when mkil accused me of screwing up articles with bad english, when in fact i have not written them, i simply added few things or corrected them, like I explained 100 times, i have to type fast and waste time on time wasters like mkil. The above statement clearly illustrates that some things are not right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:MKil#Re:User_talk:58.64.103.227 May i remind you all again, that i had people write me many times in the past to watch over marciano and mkil page! I do not leave messages on my talk page, saying thank you boxingwear for cleaning up things, you did good job and the above statement... IBRO guy, he belongs to whom, what, IBRO< if you are a member of that organization, you better write good english, the above reply is written in very good english!
AND AGAIN, WE DID NOT AGREE ON THE GREATEST. He is simply killing that info, we agreed we should not include what some fake computer said about Marciano being the greatest. Why, why should I look for links that he is greatest, THAT IS A GIVEN, it's in the world THAT SOME, SOME CONSIDER HIM GREATEST, IT'S ALREADY IN THE WORLD. Tell them he is not, Just go and tell that to majoity of italian-american communities, see what happens. That link has to be removed, FIND ME MORE THAN 5 UNDEFEATED CHAMPIONS. And no, there are not too many.
Yep. Never heard of the team, the league, or the venue. I wonder what the story behind the name was.

Arguments will not stop with mkil, i will no longer reply there (except now and then), I will leave you some messages instead, mkil is using every single word i say to my advantage, here, american biographers wrote on rocky, as the greatest, if not, greatest puncher ever... http://www.myhero.com/myhero/hero.asp?hero=rockymarciano so yea, SOME PEOPLE CONSIDER HIM AS THE GREATEST, must be there. I am not going to search for more links, agian, i explained, it's a given. It belongs, it's part of reality. So, there you go, correct the article the way I requested and tell mkil never to touch rocky site again. We will resolve 99% problems. Only people like mkil need evidence for something that is already given and proven thru time. As Barnum said, there are fools born every second... Reply here and on my site, have a nice day.Obviously, now we know why courts give statutes of limitations... Boxingwear
And you are not reading, I also asked you, (other things) how to resolve those things, I asked you for few codes, how to do few things and nothing...
On my talk page you left a message...
I fully reject this statement, I asked you to look over many other things, since mkil accused me of vandalism, read what I say,i am not saying pto is doing that,only mkil, i gave my answer, i replied, i almost wrote a book with all these replies, i told you what mkil did wrong,what I did right, i am only replying to mkil since he is calling it vandalism, ok, i may agree on a language, needs changing, but why are you not replying to my proposals, i gave you the website to call rocky greatest, you can not call a computer greatest, something must be done about this, i will no longer talk on marciano page, only to you and also I replied and fully explained why. Keep in mind, how long can somebody stay cool after people like mkil WHO HAVE TONS AND TONS AND TONS OF TIME ON THEIR HAND TO reply and analyze every word, statute of limitation is gone now, no matter what he says from now on should not count! I believe my suspicious should be investigated and you should do that!\Boxingwear
Mkil must go away, or i will get into trouble, this guy simply kills too many things and reverts my edits, you must tell him not to follow me! I will do what is appropriate and not go into edit wars, but I think I am not doing that, I am being provoked, whatever you can do will be fine, but you need to understand few things... I just do not want him to touch my edits, there are a couple or so, if that's the agreement we get, 99% of problems resolved. Boxingwear

Hello Kuru, thanks for the quick reply to my vandalism claim. For the most part I have always followed and used wikipedia. I believe its an excellent resource for not only students, but the public as a whole. My problem however lies with individuals who are vandalizing the Washington College page. (By the way: I apologize now, I'm new to wiki editing, so my format may be horrible).
Beginning on Christmas day 2006, a person edited in a rather harsh and unfounded claim against organizations at Washington College. Claiming that two fraternities on campus were kicked from their residencies due to hazing. No source was cited.
A battle ensued over what was to be placed there. It has now come down to User:D-Hell-pers continually editing in unfounded information. He has provided a source, which is a college newspaper article. Yet the source, says absolutely nothing about why the organizations were removed from their housing, just that it happened and they have now returned.
D-Hell-pers continues to make the claim of hazing, without proper sources. He is spreading hearsay, and says that the only way for a group to be removed from housing is his claim of hazing. This, is not true, and rather unfounded. Throughout the Discussion page for Washington College, he has used derogatory terms for people such as a**holes. And now I believe he understands that he cannot make such claims without sources. This is why he is talking in a negative manner to anyone who opposes him, telling them to use their insight. Unfortunately, wikipedia is not founded on insight. Message boards and forums are, but not wikipedia. To me, wikipedia is founded on fact. Facts that these vandals are not provided, perhaps because they do not exist.
I hope this explanation helps. Thanks for your help! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Natural22 ( talk • contribs) 18:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC).

Thanks for your response... The Formal Term 'Sample Chapters' was used because original Book was published in the form of Paper-back. If you see the Table of Contents on http://www.datadoctor.biz/author.htm , you'll find that every topic is hyperlined to its description and you can not find even a single topic that is not available on website for Free.
Will it be fine if I remove the 'Buy Now' link? Regards

I realize this is an unusual request coming from a stranger, but I'm interested in finding the text in this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Alexander_Belikov
which was deleted a year ago. Apparently only admins can see this deleted content. I would really appreciate someone just copying and pasting this text somewhere.

Kuru,
I apologize for commenting on another 'editor'. This persons comments are somewhat antagonistic, and it rattles me up how he says one thing, but acts in a total opposite manner. I believe that all comments have been established with my last edit, and I will try to avoid saying anything else directly towards the other 'editor'.
Hi I've added an article about HotMug on Example of Project Management Software and got deleted. Now I really do not understand why they got deleted as it was no praise for it. Based on what an article got deleted? There should be more than one person to propose that article? What if I'm the first that make that article? Who decide that a thing is worth or not? What algorithm do they use? (First on Google or similar)?

Here's just a couple of trios of almost identical
Dude has a fetish about Brandon Routh. Changes his middle name & birthdate; likes to edit the Without Remorse page to put Routh's name in instead of Joaquin Phoenix for having a part in the movie. Likes to edit various other people and change their religion from Jewish, Mormon, or Episcopalian to Catholic; various ethnic origins to Irish.
You'll note that each new account was created after the previous was blocked.
You'll also note (circumstantially) that each username is an author ( Clancy60, Fleming60, Ellroy20), at least the first two of whom had articles vandalized.
The vandalism is repetitive, almost routine. Mixed in are the odd non-vandalizing edit; rather banal and pointless. Problem, of course, is that wiki-hours are spent policing his edits which could be better spent on constructive editing; it takes no less time to view a constructive edit than to reverse a bad one, and more time to try and track down whether a plausible edit is valid. I have been reverting as a matter of course given that none of the edits are sourced or even commented upon.
It would be nice if he could be blocked permanently (wish wish wish). It's risible to see the "happy happy joy joy" 4-stage wikiwarnings when you know blinking well that this is a disruptive vandal sockpuppet (in a real-life sense, if not electronically provable); he doesn't even really try to disguise himself. I hope you can find a common IP.
If he should surface again (I don't know, say as "Routh20" with the same edits) can he just be blocked as a matter of course, or do we have to go through the 4-stage "naughty naughty" each time?
Sorry for the long missive here, but I'm venting. Thanks for bending an "eye". :) -- SigPig | SEND - OVER 04:09, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello Kuru, I am contacting you about your recent block on User talk:13.8.137.11 for one month. I note that the associated page User talk:13.8.137.10 was only blocked for a week. Since the same issue was occurring with both pages this appears inconsistent and likely a result of the other page being blocked by a different administrator. I feel this warrants further review since the IP address is a Xerox proxy address and thus used by many other users. Perhaps one of the soft blocks should be used instead or a shorted time period?

Kuru,
I just noticed that the Washington College article has been changed back to its previous state, the one that was not agreed upon through your mediation attempts.
Once again there are no sources or credible citations to justify allegations and edits. They are simply citing the same article they did before (which makes no mention at all of said allegations), and quoting a new article that is not linked, and may infact, not even exist.
I was wondering if we could revert the article to the terms agreed with during your intervention. Additionally, I was wondering if you could possibly find out if the people who were vandalizing my wall are the same people fighting so hard to edit this article. I have trace-routed them, and all land on the same Comcast address in Baltimore.
Thanks for your help,

BossTalks.com is not a commercial project and does not have any advertisement on it at all. It keeps the simple style, easy to use information, RSS feeds, you can subscribe to it through any blog reader software. It have a very easy profile, with the email and password only necessary fields, it's very easy to sign in and post, or you free to read without any registering. It's a new site, but it will fill the niche of free and easy to use project management sites, either software / IT or just PM in a common sense. The most of pm forums are hard to register, lacks of content, having questions without answers for the most of the content, the most of sites are not free, or very hard on ads. Please review your decision and allow me to add this site to let the community grow. Of course I never expected to get more traffic for BossTalks just because of publishing and promoting it to search engines through Wikipedia.

Good morning Kuru.
The purpose of this Talk discussion thread is for me to learn more and understand better your/Wikipedia's position regarding the appropriateness of having content on the topic of "Stockhouse".
I perused the various links that you provided to me touching Wikipedia's various editorial rules.
Here was my logic for adding content on "Stockhouse":
1) it is a potentially useful tool that anyone trying to create wealth in stocks may appreciate;
2) I did identify Stockhouse's strengths and weaknesses in an attempt to be neutral and unbiased; and
3) before creating the Stockhouse entry I did explore Wikipedia and found much content on the subject of on-line resources available to the public including, amongst others:
i) Motley Fool ii) Yahoo iii) Google iv) YouTube.
Please provide your position regarding my three points above.
If you agree that Stockhouse warrants inclusion in Wikipedia than please advise on how the entry could be better wordsmithed to comply with Wikipedia's editorial rules.
Thank you very much.

Hi. I need some Admin advice, if you could spare it.
There's a battle of words over a proposed move at Talk:South Tyrol over the naming of the article. It seems to have devolved into two camps: an Italian POV and a German POV. Apparently one of the German users canvassed over at the German wiki to weigh in over here; in retaliation, another user posted to the Italian wiki here. (An edit with comments sums it up rather succinctly). My reply is here.
This is deplorable. Canvassing on another wiki is bad enough, but to then do the same on another wiki as retaliation seems counter-productive at the very least, if not escalating to the point of disruption. I am wondering what can be done in this case. Rather than a discussion over what this article should be called in English it seems to be a linguo-nationalistic war between Italy and Germany.
Your thoughts and guidance on my next move would be greatly appreciated. -- SigPig | SEND - OVER 19:44, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I'd agree that the editor is not your run-of-the-mill vandal, as most of his other edits are relatively harmless.

An anon vandal 68.161.68.171 is doing almost exactly the same crap that User:Clancy60 and his socks have been doing; bad edits to Brandon Routh were the giveaway. Any way to check this out, checkuser to see if it's from the same guy? Hate to pass this to you, but I have no faith in AN/I. He's received a "this is your only warning" but has continued.
As for your statement about blocking the original master-of-socks: is the few "good" edits a vandal makes outweigh the disruption that user causes? Every edit the user makes becomes suspect; at the low end of the labour scale, every edit has to be reversed -- hopefully not reverting any good edits that may have been inserted by another user -- and if there have been edits inserted after the vandalism and the bad edits cannot be "undone", each bad edit must be individually changed. If not done on sight, then each edit which may be plausible may have to be researched before being reverted -- taking up more hours that could be devoted to constructive editing. Seems to me that a user this disruptive should be blocked -- else then all a vandal needs to do to keep from being permanently blocked is to throw in a few "good" edits. Or am I completely misreading what you are saying? (I know I have gotten the wrong end of the stick before -- maybe -- so it's not totally impossible it might happen again, unlikely as that may seem.)

I have added a "{{ prod}}" template to the article Primavera (software) (an article that you have shown some interest in previously), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (end template). Will you have a look?

Kuru,
Thanks for your info on the appropriate ways in which to add content (relating to my recent posts on the Recruiter page). Please clarify for me though, if Koya Consulting is in fact a well-established, legitimate retained executive search firm ( http://www.koyaconsulting.com), and if there are many other retained executive search firms listed on those pages, and if many of those firms also have their own company pages in the Wikipedia, how is a new company page created or how can information about a given company be added to a given page?
To be clear, I did not intend to advertise for Koya Consulting, and I knew about the nofollow links, I just felt that Koya Consulting was another retained search firm that could be added to Wikipedia just that way that a number of others already are such as,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egon_Zehnder_International
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korn/Ferry
After all, if MaidPro ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MaidPro) is referenced in Wikipedia, why can't a well-established retained search firm such as Koya Consulting be referenced?

I've discussed with Zero about how this username violates WP:U. He has replied: "Username falls under offensive usernames (possibly a sex-related username)." Is this explanation valid? Sr13 ( T| C) 04:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
So what can we do about this guy? He claims to be removing spam but, from his talk page, he has a lot of people up in arms having removed all content by anyone who has linked to any site he considers spam, and for removing all links that share a domain with anything that he considers spam.
In my case, he has removed a link to free content on my company's site that was added by someone else (not us), and he has removed the link to my PhD thesis from the Wikipedia page about my Hilbert-Hermitian wavelet. In both cases, his justification is that the links point to pages hosted on ffconsultancy.com and he is claiming that I used IP addresses from all over the world to add these links in an attempt to advertise. My only conflict of interests here is a vested financial interest in seeing my book listed among the other OCaml books.
Given that I found a lot of interesting content (free videos about research, e.g. on molecular biology) from the links that Requestion removed because they pointed at specific and relevant pages hosted by the University of Washington, I must assert that he is reducing the quality of many pages.

Thanks guys,
"So my advice is don't bother editing Wikipedia articles."
Yes this is the heart of my question. Is it worth it to contribute here, when there are so many other ways to give away free content and services?
Please understand I'm not outraged, or anything like that. But I do notice that links to competing services are left in place, while mine is deleted, and the question is dodged. Not a scandal on anyone's part, just a classic sign of any project built upon volunteer effort.
Honestly, I'm too busy making free stuff for folks to have time to join a community where these kind of debates will go on endlessly.
Anyway, please don't take offense, none intended, just trying to be honest.

Nice, I enjoyed the subtle put down. Ironically I am hoping to attend Texas A&M this fall. I noticed shortly after posting that my IP address was used not my account (which I have forgotten as I have not used in in several months). Also, the message dated six months ago appeared the day I posted to your talk page as a "new message." This message was not there the day before I posted. Also this was the first message "I" had received and as such was unaware that they were dated. Sorry to show my ignorance, but I'm sure someone out there will get a laugh out of it.
sincerely,

P.S. please note the use of quotations is intended to highlight irony not to be sarcastic. I was pathetically attempting to be humorous. (by the way, I was also accepted into Baylor this year (I'm told it is the Harvard of Texas))

You recently removed my entry for Boxing Rebels, stating the reasons below:
(It is a very short article providing little or no context (CSD A1), contains no content whatsoever (CSD A3), consists only of links elsewhere (CSD A3) or a rephras)
Would it not be a reasonable idea to at least contact the contributor and explain the situation before removing the entry?
It was my first attempt at creating a proper wiki entry, and yes it was short, but it wasn't finished, I was planning to add to it over time.
'Providing little or no context, no content whatsoever'. Hmm, I'm not sure what this means. I explained why the forum was created in the first place (context), and tried to give some idea what forum is about(content). Obviously this is not good enough for the incredibly high standards here.
As for the last phrase of your statement, 'consists only of links elsewhere' that's just nonsense. There was one link, which was referencing a quote used in the entry.
I am trying to write a serious wiki entry, but it seems I'm not going to be given the chance.

Many thanks for you swift reply. I apologise for blaming you for deleting the article, yours was the last name on the list and I had no idea that it had been vandalised previously.
Is there any way I can see what was actually deleted? I was working on it for much of yesterday, and when I left it it was still intact.
I accept that parts of the original article may not have been up to the standard required, but as I stated before I am trying to write an article that fits within the guidelines meted out by wikipedia.

The article apparently has links that I have attempted to remove, but others have always replaced
diff, after warning them
diff, and a misunderstood response by one person on my position
diff. The links seem to be a violation of
WP:SPAM, because the companies hostng the links also attempt to sell (although free) products that help remove SpyLocked. Wikipedia should not withhold sites to tools that remove SpyLocked. The rest of the article seems all right thus far.

I'm more than a little puzzled about the removal of the reference in this edit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Enterprise_resource_planning&diff=124458601&oldid=124432525
It is absolutely clear that although the article is focused on SAP, the SAME concepts can and SHOULD be generalized to all ERP applications.
Please explain the reason for removing the reference. The fact is that more companies that implement ERP solutions (no matter WHO the vendor is) should be focusing on business benefit... That is the object of the article, in spite of its title. And there is no attempt to see any software or service anywhere in the article. In fact, it ends with very specific steps that any company can take with ANY ERP application.
Before simply deleting the reference, how about taking the time to thoroughly read and understand the article, and the fact that it can be generalized to ANY ERP application?

I have added your removals back until I can get a clearer understanding of what specific rule or what specific issue you have with the content of the article. Absolutely NOTHING is being sold, directly or indirectly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.74.135.19 ( talk • contribs).
I would consider the fact that I spent several years as the SAP knowledge manager for a good size U.S. National Consulting firm, and have close to 13 years of ERP SPECIFIC implementation experience, and have noted an article with an academic orientation and specific examples a pretty compelling reason that it is sufficient.
Further, the whole orientation of the site for the reference is to help business get the MOST out of their ERP implementation... Period... Nothing to sell, just free information from many years in the trenches.
However, I note that about 3/4ths of this "piece" is not referenced to anything, academic or otherwise. So it begs the question, should it ALL be deleted?

Hi, I found Wikipedia last week and have added information and edited some pages. I have also added links and information about the Anaheim Visitor Center which is located across from Disneyland. Although it is a commercial site for our family business, so is Disneyland and hundreds of other sites within Wikipedia. Each time I have returned to the page or looked up other information, my links have been changed, deleted or in some other way updated to be directed to a wrong address by user Monotonehell. I wrote him a letter on his page and asked him to please contact me if he were going to make these changes so I could understand what I was doing wrong. Instead, he did it again on a page where the letter "e" was added after ".com".
I have access to many computers but would rather understand the malicious attack from this person who won't bother contacting me but continues to make changes (I even included my phone number to make it easy on him).
Knott's and Seaworld are commercial sites, too and they sell tickets - so, why one site would be allowed and another not seems very arbitrary. This is the same with hundreds of other sites on Wikipedia.
I am not a vandal and included Monotonehell's name to make a point. I looked through history first to be sure these sites were replaceable and nothing I did was un-doable or I wouldn't have done it.
I'm also not computer literate and had to work for about 10 minutes to figure out how to contact you so, anything I do will be, I'm sure, harmless.
So, please be kind enough to reply. I'm sure you can do a lot more ill to me than I can to you or this site.
Thank you.

No other reason. I saw that at the bottom, but even if it is changed back to the sub articles, in my opinion that section should be right below the biography.
Also, why not leave the changes I made, but delete the film section? The reason being that most of the films listed there were not written by King himself, therefore my changes are more relevant, in my opinion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Adam B.

I see what you're saying and I agree. I'm sorta new at this and I should have discussed it first, you're right. However, I still think that King's screenplay and teleplay credits should be in the template and that the current film and TV section of the article has little relavance to King himself.

You edited links to InfiniteCredit.com that I posted on the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act. I am not a spammer anymore than than the link to Creditboards.com is and I am upset that you seem to think I am and have threatened me with banning. I posted that InfiniteCredit.com could help with understanding FDCPA and FCRA rights which it can. It is no more spam than any other self-help link for any other topic on Wikipedia. I am not a vandal nor a spammer. You can access my email at blitzkim@yahoo.com and have my ip addy. InfiniteCredit.com is a legitimate self-help website for help with problems with debt collection or incorrect reporting of debt and our community doesn't take this lightly and we do not ask for nor accept money for our help. Please respond either to my email or to my talkpage. This is the first time I have ever edited a wikipedia content and am stunned that you would consider my contributions as spam. I am requesting that you reconsider. If you want to check, our website is 4th on Google Search for credit repair discussion, and 5th on credit repair forum. We are legitimate and have been helping consumers since 2004 and operate the site just like Creditboards.com. If we are spam then so is Creditboards. Please advise.

Hello Kuru,
Your user page is very nice especially the quote at the top, which is something I plan to share.
Recently our web designer brought a concern to our attention that was directed to us regarding comments published by you via Wiki that are both defammatory and innacurate.
When a search of google index pages for our company, the following appears:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=eastlandmortgage.com&btnG=Search
A few links down a wiki string of cached information leads to a pubished statement regarding us that is not accurate.
One of our associates is a college student who has published a directory (free of charge to all users we have been told) for jumbo lenders. We along with many other lenders are included in it. He has told us that if he intended to create spam it would 1- refer primarily to one company, and 2- not have a valid address. He is concerned that his directory was not only misinterpreted, but that it was published publicly as such. Further we are concerned that our webmasters shared use of an adjoining suite is your sole basis for publishing defammatory comments against our company, and our (very nice) webmasters attempt at what appears to be a reasonable directory for a niche in our industry.
Please take corrective action to be sure we are not published in a google search in a way that makes a deffamatory claim about our firm, and our webmasters directory. We do not wish to initiate an action between us and Wiki, a non-profit two of our members have supported.
Thank you.

Looking back at Yamamoto Ichiro's talk page, I wanted to assure you that I was meaning, in no way, to insist that he take's Deskana's points into consideration. I was merely stating my opinion that I agreed with Deskana's point he made in the RfA where he pointed out that replacing the George W. Bush page with "he is a democrat", is not blatant vandalism, and I'm sorry if it came out the wrong way. Yamamoto has done tons of anti-vandal work, and my only concern was that he may, unintentionaly, bite the newcomers. All of that aside, he has the right to take the advice he wants, and it's no big deal. You're right that he should enjoy the tools, and I have no doubt that Wikipedia will benifit aswell from him. I knew that Wikipedia:Administrators were never paid, with extreme exception of a few Wikimedia Foundation Staff, and maybe I have been expecting more than I should of admin. canadates.(Maybe Adminship is not a job could be added somewhere in Wikipedia:What adminship is not.)-- U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. 01:40, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello,
I received you warning message today and apologize for any misunderstanding. I will not add anymore links. I have a question though, what about the references to "Iron Mountain Inc." It contains a direct link to their page which would serve as an advertisement and under your guidelines, "Spam."
I did not take adding a few links to areas where we can help consumers to be spam. I figured we were simply adding helpful information to an area where a lot of people have questions. I care about search engine rankings, but am not interested in using wikipedia as a platform to make our ranking better, I simply felt we were adding helpful information. Apparently I was mistaken.
I do feel though that you use the word "SPAM" quite liberally. On many of the pages I added information to there were plenty more links to other companies as well. If you plan on editing my links, please do the same for them. Thank you.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.103.144.2 ( talk • contribs).

Well, Kuru, it depends on how you define a turbine, doesn't it. Would you call a rotary crop-sprayer a turbine? Heron's affair worked the same way, except with steam jets. Taqi al Din's and della Porta's device played the jet in a fixed direction on rotary blades, so it comes closer to a turbine except that it had no casing to concentrate the flow and must have wasted an awful lot of steam around the sides.

I was wondering why so many editors don't give a source for information they add to Wikipedia, and why so many stub articles have an external link section that was apparently created as a reference section. I think part of the answer is in Wikipedia:Introduction and Wikipedia:Tutorial. I glanced through them, trying to view the information from a complete newcomer's perspective. I saw a few things that might be contributing to some problems in Wikipedia.
Carefully hidden away is something of major importance to the integity of Wikipedia: "Wikipedia requires that you cite sources for the information you contribute."
Based on this introduction and tutorial for new editors, I'm not surprised that there are thousands of unsourced and poorly sourced articles in Wikipedia -- and many short articles and stubs with "External links" sections and no citations. Wikipedia is only as strong as its editors, and new editors are often guided by Wikipedia's Introduction and Tutorial. 65.78.213.45 03:45, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi there Kuru, I saw the excellent work that you did on trying to remove the spam links from the external links section of the Prince2 article. I have tried to resurrect this effort and I have put the page out to RFC. Unfortunately only one user has commented and it is undoubtedly the anonymous spammer. Obviously there is no point doing an RFC if the anonymous spammer can post whatever anonymous comments he wants. You seem to be a far more experienced wikipedian than myself and was wondering if you had any ideas what to do? Wikikob 13:15, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Kuru, I am getting fed up with this anonymous user who keeps following me around and I hardly feel its worth bothering you with this but I have to counter assertions such as "the edit history of Wikikob comprises almost entirely of deletions and no content input" and that I am a recently registered user. The truth is that I registered as a user in October 2004 and have made substantial contributions to the Prince2 article. This is my first experience with a wikipedia troll and it just makes me wonder why wikipedia allows anonymous users to contribute. Why not ask everyone to register? Oh well, all part of my learning experience. Anyway, thanks for your input. Wikikob 08:54, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Can I ask you to reconsider your decision? The contributor in question is gaming the system to the extreme, and WP:MEAT is akin to WP:SOCK in Wikipedia's books. I left an additional comment on the 3RR page article.
There wouldn't be a problem if the above contributor was promoting verifiable fact, but instead is agressively promoting a personal "theory" agenda in reverting the same. I have done much to get mediation in this, but in the meantime User:Hardouin is doing all he can to profit from the low traffic/level of knowledge of most English wiki contributors in these articles to promote personal agenda over fact. The facts are readily available (and even obvious), if you have the time to read the relevent talk page - in looking at this perhaps this user's agenda will be clearer: reverting to the same unverifiable terminology again and again on the same articles, and this for more than two years now - and yesterday's reverts were just more of the same. Cheers. THEPROMENADER 06:58, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Kuru. Just discovered Promenader's accusations today. This is not the first time this happens. This must be the 7th or 8th time this user accuses someone of being my sock-puppet and files 3RR complaints against me. Whenever someone agrees with me and disagrees with him, then it must necessarily be my sock-puppet! He even asked some admin to check if their was sock-puppetry once, but of course the admin couldn't find any sock-puppetry, yet this hasn't stopped Promenader from renewing accusations as you can see. I wonder if you know a way I could report Promenader's behavior. His harassment is reaching extremes. Whenever I edit Wikipedia he reverts my edits within hours with complete disregard for civility and Wikilove, then go on making accusations and starts fights. It has lasted for almost two years now. Two years of harassment! I have told admins before, but nobody has really inquired on Promenader's behavior so far. Do you know any admin that could check this? If you're interested I can give you a list of editors who have witnessed Promenader's behavior in the past two years and who will happily tell you about his behavior. Hardouin 09:12, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
User:Dsol has been shopping his complaint around for a long time now, including with User:SlimVirgin and User:Brighterorange and nobody has yet taken him up on his proposal that the eXile article should include phrases about a named well known celebrity having 2 vaginas and a named well known reporter having a horse sperm creme pie shoved in his face. Please see SlimVirgin's removal of this tabloid information [47]
Please remember that WP:BLP states that Wikipedia is not a tabloid, and that biographical info for LPs must be stated conservatively. Dsol might object that it is all quoted by reliable sources: a) not true, b) irrelevant,
a) the couple of sources he's managed to dig up are just saying that the eXile said "..." Quite a difference. They also say things like (approx) "The eXile visciously attacks innocent people and goes well beyond the bounds of decency." Without the qualifiers, the article is simply misleading.
b) irrelevant. The info as presented is still direct from a tabloid, still not conservatively presented, still misleading, and not needed in the article. On it's face it is completely against WP:BLP. Nobody at WP:BLPN will support him so he shops it elsewhere. Do please look at his claimed support by User:The Evil Spartan, and please be aware that he will misquote you too.
In short, I can't see anything to discuss with Dsol, he wants to include garbage in a Wikipedia article, and I'll revert it. If you want to decide this matter, I'll ask that you look closely at the article and what Dsol wants in there very carefully. Also please look at what other administrators have done.
Thanks in advance for your carefulness.

Hello, Kuru. Your action is unfortunate, unwarranted, unnecessary, and unkind. Apparently you fell into the trap of some so-called 'editors' here.
I am well-aware of the etiquette required when contributing to Wikipedia, a PUBLIC forum where no registered user or group of users has editorial authority. However, some here (including yourself) do not honor the spirit of this forum but regularly violate it while falsely accusing sincere contributors of violations; I can see you are either one of the false accusers or simply someone who allowed himself to be carried away by a mob mentality instead of exercising character and examining what really happened.

Between December 14, 2005 and June 7, 2007, I vandalized Wikipedia under my previous username (YechielMan) and under various IP addresses and alternate accounts.
I recently reviewed the contribution logs of all the accounts and IP addresses that I can recall having used. My goal was to identify all of the intentionally harmful edits I caused, and to apologize to the individual users who reverted those edits, or warned me, or blocked me.
Hence, I apologize to you and to all of the following users:
Thank you for maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia against everyone who has attacked it, including my old self.
If you wish to respond, please do so at my talk page.
Best regards, Shalom ( Hello • Peace) 19:26, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Kuru, I understand and appreciate your comments. With utmost respect, this is the second time you and I have discussed this matter. As I have stated to you before, I am the original creator of the articles Lease option and Lease purchase contract . As you can see by the history of the articles, original credit goes to Lease2Purchase.com. The link I added to Lease option titled What is a Lease 2 Purchase contract? from Lease2Purchase.com was already included in Lease purchase contract and has 100% relevance to the topic, yet you removed it from both articles, citing it as spam. Did you examine the link I added? Spend a minute of your time and read the link I provided, it is valuable information to most folks whom find themselves researching this topic.
I have been a real estate investor specializing in these techniques for over 10 years. I am an expert on the subject. With all the misinformation on the internet regarding this topic, the link I provided is without question the most accurate definition available and would be welcome information to all visitors who happen upon these pages. I respectfully request that you add the link back to both articles.
Ironically, I am also an original contributor to an open-source *nix server-side email spam filter, which might help you understand how I could be offended that I am now actually accused of being a spammer. I look forward to your reply.
Edit: It is possible I am mistaken about previously speaking with you about this. It could have been with a different Wikipedia member. My apologies if this is the case.
Respectfully, Jeff_B 13:42, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
You're welcome. Because I'm somewhat new to actually editing articles, would a link to the L2P Chat Board (I will delete this link after I receive your reply), which does not contain promotional material, be considered an unacceptable link for the two articles? My apologies if this is not the right place to discuss this. Jeff_B 01:01, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Edit-1: Also, what if the links to the page in question were removed (the links moving the visitor forward to the How-To page? I could create a special page without any further links. Would the article then be acceptable to add to Wikipedia?
Edit-2: Kuru, are you not willing to discuss this with me anymore? I was thinking about joining the Wikipedia adoption program.
With much regret, it appears that we will have to agree to disagree. I had sincerely hoped that you would help guide me rather than taking a firm "No" stance.
The L2P chat board averages more than 1,500 unique visits each day, with over 7 years and 20,000+ messages which are searchable in the archive. The vast majority of users come for information, and once they find it they go about their business. I owe it to anyone searching for information on the subject to explain to you that lease options are highly specialized and objective, thus once a topic has been discussed, there really isn't much more to be said about it. Furthermore, your "unreferenced commentary" criticism above is offensive and not appreciated. Like most folks, I work hard at what I do and take pride in it.
Please remember that I've already had this conversation with another Wikipedia member who already authorized the link and content I added -- which you subsequently removed with (apparently) minor due diligence. I am the author of the original articles. Without my contributions, they likely wouldn't even exist.
I've made a conscious effort to check the articles every day (I've already removed some spam in just three days!). As free time allows it, I plan to stay active with them, which includes adding useful links. If you plan to "filter" what I add, please read up on the subject. A great place to start would be here: Lease purchase contract, and then spend five good minutes on the L2P chat board. Jeff_B 11:32, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Blue Pixel, it is possible you're right, maybe I really don't understand how Wikipedia works. I've refrained from updating the pages in question any more until I learn the ropes a little bit better. I AM trying to learn before I go and mess the system up, that's why I've been talking with Kuru. The way I use Wikipedia is to research or learn about a particular subject -- and I've used it a lot lately! :-) I have updated my talk and user pages quite a bit lately, check them out and leave me a message if you like.

Hello Kuru. There have been some comedians visiting Portal:History/Featured article/November, 2007 this morning. I just did a revert, and I see you've been doing the same. When I saw this article the first time this morning, I made just one small edit. But then I discovered there were several paragraphs missing from the original intended article. So I put it back a couple revs to your last one. I assume that was the right one. I'll keep an eye on this. Just thought you'd like to know as well.

I added a few references I have found helpful myself in using VBA in Excel. My additions were as follows
For examples of VBA code see Robert de Levie [1]. For more about the Excel Object Model, see Roman [2].
You deleted these references from the article. In my opinion that reduces the value of the article to a potential user. Why not leave them in? Wouldn't a print Encyclopaedia do that?
One could argue that any choice of references is a bit arbitrary, given the huge number of choices. However, in fact these references are somewhat unique among all the Excel books in being very helpful without hype about how great the software is. Brews ohare 23:16, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Kuru,
I think what you're doing is great: watch vandalism on THE internet free encyclopedia. In my case, I am a true contributor of the text I wrote (and which by the way has been already copied from my web site by commercial organisations who sell it to readers without my permission!!).
This is the reason why I thought the text would be a good one and because I think Wikipedia is a good (the best) way to distribute information broadly, I have added the section Business to IT Alignment to the IT Governance page.
You can check that I have added the sentence you told me to add on my web site: www.it-to-be.com
I hope this time the section is published on Wikipedia as I prefer to give it for free and let people update/modify it then having commercial minded people make money out of it without asking me if I am OK with what they are doing.
Thanks for your understanding.

Somewhere over the past few days the Vpmi article was deleted from Wikipedia and subsequently removed from the list of proprietary web-based applications on the List of Project Management Software page.

I’ve had email discussions with Mr Dawkins and I find that this man is not open to any agreement, for instance he wrote a book review on a book which didn’t dismiss the theory of evolution, it just discussed the problems with the theory. The review he wrote was appalling he didn’t use real science and he poked fun at the author. When I wrote to Mr Dawkins just to ask him why he didn’t dismiss the author scientifically . He wrote a very rude message to me without actually using science. I think there should be a critics section on Mr Dawkins page, this is due to the fact he does not defend his believe he just attacks others.

I'd like to say that I've only added links to pages I have added meaningful content to. I added a useful link to "how to read a credit report" alongside a Canadian publication, and just because it's not from the government it carries no weight. Seems a little shortsighted.
I also added a new section on the refinance page, then added a link in the reference section which simply acts as documentation as to where that information came from. I think that's more than fair if you add quality content to pages within Wikipedia.
How can I add links to site that provide useful information to pages on Wikipedia in the future?
I don't want to be a spammer. I want to contribute, but I also want to get recognition for doing so.
I also pulled this from your help pages: "Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons. Sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews."
I know it also says generally you shouldn't link to blogs or websites without recognized authors, but if they are willing to keep my content, and not provide a link, I feel this system is lacking. Please let me know what we can do to resolve this. Should I use a citation right next to my additions so admin knows my additions are associated with my links? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scot184 ( talk • contribs).

Hi I am the author of 'VBA Tutor'. I have provided my VBA Tutorial on the internet for the last 8 years. Any Google search for "VBA Tutor" will list my page first. I added a link to my Tutorial in the VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) reference page, which was deleted because you deemed it to be inappropriate. Nice to play God! However, I am unsure of why you consider it to be inappriopriate addition. Have you had a look at what I provide at my website? I provide five free lesson that provide a good introduction to VBA for anyone wanting to know how to use VBA, or as a general introduction to computer programming. If people wish to continue on to learn more advanced skills, then I offer 35 additional lessors for the large sum of US$11.00. Being retired, this small amount pays for my expenses to provide this service, by providing several web sites where VBA Tutor can be located. I offer considerable help via email to ANYONE who contacts me regarding a VBA issue. I do not charge for this personal help or make it conditional on being a purchaser of my VBA Tutor. I provide 'VBA Tutor' largely as a service to everyone. I added my link so people could find help if they needed it about VBA. If you do not want people to access help on how to use VBA from Wikipedia, then that is fine by me.

First off, Lazarus Long. Yes. 2+ Kudos. We're both avid readers. Which book is that from? (I guessed
The Number of The Beast (novel) but perhaps I am wrong...)
My wife immediately assumes that you are Male. Using my wife as reference I reserve judgment (too much yang with that one...)
Secondly, I received a nice bonus from you earlier. Hoping that I could get a quick reply - just wondering.
Lastly - I promise not to ask questions to be found in FAQs. I've been on the net since 93 and I think I should know better by now (regardless of lack of impetus...)...
Once more, Thanks from a new contributor, who thinks (ha Ha HA! -
Phil Ken Sebben) that he'll write unbiased and well documented material. --

First of all, congratulations! It's great to see you promoted, as I am sure that you will be a fantastic admin. As for the nomination, you are more than welcome. I can't claim a lot of credit, because I didn't need to think too hard or look too far to find good things to say about you.
BTW you are the first RFA candidate that I have nominated, so I am especially pleased to see you pass! I might quit now while I am ahead. :)

I fully protected the article Rocky Marciano for 3 days because of a major edit war. However i think I am going to be away when the protection runs out, so I would appreciate it if you could add it to your watchlist and keep track of it. I was planning to either reinstate the protection for another short period, or, more likely habd out a few short blocks ofr edit warring if the dipute spills over into the article again, however I will leave it up to your discretion as to how you deal with it.

just because you are not english doesnt mean the information is not interesting and useful for english people.
if they DONT WANT TO READ IT THEY WONT SEARCH FOR IT!
so why does it matter
I am not editing other peoples work
im creating information and adding it, I made it clear it was not comprehensive and needed details
I dont understand your problem.
New ventures and idea are interesting to a lot of people, and as we grow more people will want to learn aboutus. having this article gives people this info.
it is very popular in the uk to look at new up and coming businesses and people want to support not hinder them.

Now given this I dont understand why you decided it was suitable for people to read. Surely an ecncyclopedia is a compilation of everything not just those chosen by people of a certain interest type.

Hello, can you check ip 58.8 if it belongs to mkil, he may be using those, or may try to get others in trouble. If you go on rocky talk page, i explained in detail, also on my talk page, I am requesting more protection over rocky page, since mkil has his mind set on destroying it and adding his own wit to it, I believe current version is good, he will revert it claiming info is missing, it needs cleaning up, etc, etc, etc, all explained. I just do not want that guy to touch that site, because of him we had all this problems. By the way, only administrators can look into whose ip is it? By the way, how to archive things, put music, photos and rectangular square in color on talk page? User_talk: BoxingWear
Yea, good to know you protect it. I am suspectig mkil of being user 58.8 and possibly 64. I did what I could and according to best boxing knowledge. I will be glad to resolve problem, but mkil is the problem, i am not blaming anybody else, i mean, well, look on my talk page...
Like I thought, 64 is not mkil but other ip may be, PTO was engaged by Mkil from the beginning, it's possible they are in collusion and may very well be good friends for a long long time. No, again, it has been explained and I reject the statemetn above, Mr. Mkil did not just fix bad language or clean up things, again and again and AGAIN, he has been killing tons and tons of info, for example the 8000 people who attended baker-valdez fight, he kept on killing that, when i provided sources (he always needs sources even to prove i am breathing), then he himself inserted that, EVEN, added additional info on that- As far as the greatest link, we all came to an agreement on that, whatever link mkil put there few days ago, it's cool with me. When I accuse of vandalism, i never, ever do that after few edits, i did this after 10 days, after mkil kept on pushing his own way, i tried to make this article correct and i cleaned up lots of bad things the other day. If I reverted the link to the greatest that we all agreed, i did not mean to, if I did I probably took the wrong site from reverted history. Also, i respect other people's work, whatever good mkil wrote (again, he is putting words into my mouth) I reverted my edit and put his, whatever is reliable and I can prove his statements, I did it what was right, now mkil is vandalizing this... For example this is important...
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Rocky_Marciano&diff=104202122&oldid=104201378 Here's the evidence i reverted what i reverted and corrected his code. And here's evidence of vandalism or near vandalism...
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Rocky_Marciano&diff=104209909&oldid=104206647 Mkil killed info on possible baker and valdez vs rocky fight, above, he killed important dates, locations and so on, but if he did not kill it all, he made some changes. Then he killed Ingemar comeback details, there were other reasons why Rocky did not get a chance to fight Ingemar...
He removed:
Marciano considered a comeback in 1959 when Ingemar Johansson won the heavyweight championship from Patterson in June 1959. However, since Patterson's contract required to a rematch, Rocky had to hope Patterson would loose again. Rocky was hoping of becoming the first heavy-weight chamption to win the title two time. After a month of training, however, Marciano decided against it and never considered a comeback again.
All these things are of huge importance, this article needs to be reverted to my version, this guy is simply KILLING DATES, DETAILS AND SO ON, AGAIN AND AGAIN, HE NEEDS LINKS AND PROOF TO EVERYTHING THAT WALKS AND BREATHS. I am not saying mkil is totally bad, i am sure he is doing a fine job with other edits, i barely tough his other work but Mkil should simply not be allowed to ever touch marciano page. I hate to sound like a jerk, but from day one mkil has been killing anything that has to do with the greatest, then we agreed he was one of the greatest, so he stopped, i mean, if he did not do this, i would not be arguing with him today over little things. I mean, this costs my time, but I can not allow certain people to have things their own way. Especially those who have time on their hands and use power of persuasion, power of well connected words. I do not have problem with mkil's other edits, but I will not allow him to destroy marciano site. But there are times when he simply follows up my contributions and changes something here and there on purpose just to get me going... I was approached by other users in november and december to watch over marciano site, i wanted some evidence why, i waited for a month, then i decided, page should remain under my supervision. Meaning, investigating edits from people like mkil, people who simply are pusing the limits. Can you track ips if a user logs on with normal handle? It's most probable, It's obvious 58.8 is Mkil... Now, that his back is turned to the wall, he is coming up with other things, for example..
The following has been taken from mkil talk...
Re:User talk:58.64.103.227
You do some fine work. Good find on the Duva cite. Also, thanks for cleaning up my Marciano book reference.
Why not register with a Wikipedia account so you can establish a history here? You seem like you'd be a good addition. MKil 23:04, 19 January 2007 (UTC)MKil
Thank you. My English skill is very poor.i am just a boxing fan in a faraway country. all i can do for Wikipedia is just finding some source, remove or add a short sentence. :) actually i am the editor who added IBRO citation for the Louis page. that meant we have talk talked once at Louis' talk page :) btw, i saw you editing boxer page in Wikipedia for times. i like your works. Keep working :)
Why, all of a suddent, 2 minutes after my war with mkil started, why did this guy say his english skill is very poor, that was exactly, when mkil accused me of screwing up articles with bad english, when in fact i have not written them, i simply added few things or corrected them, like I explained 100 times, i have to type fast and waste time on time wasters like mkil. The above statement clearly illustrates that some things are not right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:MKil#Re:User_talk:58.64.103.227 May i remind you all again, that i had people write me many times in the past to watch over marciano and mkil page! I do not leave messages on my talk page, saying thank you boxingwear for cleaning up things, you did good job and the above statement... IBRO guy, he belongs to whom, what, IBRO< if you are a member of that organization, you better write good english, the above reply is written in very good english!
AND AGAIN, WE DID NOT AGREE ON THE GREATEST. He is simply killing that info, we agreed we should not include what some fake computer said about Marciano being the greatest. Why, why should I look for links that he is greatest, THAT IS A GIVEN, it's in the world THAT SOME, SOME CONSIDER HIM GREATEST, IT'S ALREADY IN THE WORLD. Tell them he is not, Just go and tell that to majoity of italian-american communities, see what happens. That link has to be removed, FIND ME MORE THAN 5 UNDEFEATED CHAMPIONS. And no, there are not too many.
Yep. Never heard of the team, the league, or the venue. I wonder what the story behind the name was. I was even suspicious of the "official" websites, attributing their existence to somebody's fantasy league. I was only convinced after viewing a satellite image of the venue's address.

It's not easy just talking about this problem, but I have other things I need to fix, first... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Mediation_Cabal#Lineal_Heavyweight_boxing_champions
Then, how to create music on my page, move to archives, add a rectanle so my conversation appears in it, how to create archives, i asked this quries other users and of course, nothing. Reply on my talk page, i will be busy these days, but do what i suggest on rocky. I may not (fully)reply for few days. Also, greatest ever, still not resolved, computer fight means nothing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rocky_Marciano#Greatest_problem.2C_not_resolved.2C_people_who_participated_in_the_poll_do_not_know_boxing
Arguments will not stop with mkil, i will no longer reply there (except now and then), I will leave you some messages instead, mkil is using every single word i say to my advantage, here, american biographers wrote on rocky, as the greatest, if not, greatest puncher ever... http://www.myhero.com/myhero/hero.asp?hero=rockymarciano so yea, SOME PEOPLE CONSIDER HIM AS THE GREATEST, must be there. I am not going to search for more links, agian, i explained, it's a given. It belongs, it's part of reality. So, there you go, correct the article the way I requested and tell mkil never to touch rocky site again. We will resolve 99% problems. Only people like mkil need evidence for something that is already given and proven thru time. As Barnum said, there are fools born every second... Reply here and on my site, have a nice day.Obviously, now we know why courts give statutes of limitations... Boxingwear
And you are not reading, I also asked you, (other things) how to resolve those things, I asked you for few codes, how to do few things and nothing...
On my talk page you left a message...
I fully reject this statement, I asked you to look over many other things, since mkil accused me of vandalism, read what I say,i am not saying pto is doing that,only mkil, i gave my answer, i replied, i almost wrote a book with all these replies, i told you what mkil did wrong,what I did right, i am only replying to mkil since he is calling it vandalism, ok, i may agree on a language, needs changing, but why are you not replying to my proposals, i gave you the website to call rocky greatest, you can not call a computer greatest, something must be done about this, i will no longer talk on marciano page, only to you and also I replied and fully explained why. Keep in mind, how long can somebody stay cool after people like mkil WHO HAVE TONS AND TONS AND TONS OF TIME ON THEIR HAND TO reply and analyze every word, statute of limitation is gone now, no matter what he says from now on should not count! I believe my suspicious should be investigated and you should do that!\Boxingwear
Mkil must go away, or i will get into trouble, this guy simply kills too many things and reverts my edits, you must tell him not to follow me! I will do what is appropriate and not go into edit wars, but I think I am not doing that, I am being provoked, whatever you can do will be fine, but you need to understand few things... I just do not want him to touch my edits, there are a couple or so, if that's the agreement we get, 99% of problems resolved. Boxingwear

Hello Kuru, thanks for the quick reply to my vandalism claim. For the most part I have always followed and used wikipedia. I believe its an excellent resource for not only students, but the public as a whole. My problem however lies with individuals who are vandalizing the Washington College page. (By the way: I apologize now, I'm new to wiki editing, so my format may be horrible).
Beginning on Christmas day 2006, a person edited in a rather harsh and unfounded claim against organizations at Washington College. Claiming that two fraternities on campus were kicked from their residencies due to hazing. No source was cited.
A battle ensued over what was to be placed there. It has now come down to User:D-Hell-pers continually editing in unfounded information. He has provided a source, which is a college newspaper article. Yet the source, says absolutely nothing about why the organizations were removed from their housing, just that it happened and they have now returned.
D-Hell-pers continues to make the claim of hazing, without proper sources. He is spreading hearsay, and says that the only way for a group to be removed from housing is his claim of hazing. This, is not true, and rather unfounded. Throughout the Discussion page for Washington College, he has used derogatory terms for people such as a**holes. And now I believe he understands that he cannot make such claims without sources. This is why he is talking in a negative manner to anyone who opposes him, telling them to use their insight. Unfortunately, wikipedia is not founded on insight. Message boards and forums are, but not wikipedia. To me, wikipedia is founded on fact. Facts that these vandals are not provided, perhaps because they do not exist.
I hope this explanation helps. Thanks for your help! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Natural22 ( talk • contribs) 18:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC).

I apologize for commenting on another 'editor'. This persons comments are somewhat antagonistic, and it rattles me up how he says one thing, but acts in a total opposite manner. I believe that all comments have been established with my last edit, and I will try to avoid saying anything else directly towards the other 'editor'.
Hi I've added an article about HotMug on Example of Project Management Software and got deleted. Now I really do not understand why they got deleted as it was no praise for it. Based on what an article got deleted? There should be more than one person to propose that article? What if I'm the first that make that article? Who decide that a thing is worth or not?

Here's just a couple of trios of almost identical
Dude has a fetish about Brandon Routh. Changes his middle name & birthdate; likes to edit the Without Remorse page to put Routh's name in instead of Joaquin Phoenix for having a part in the movie. Likes to edit various other people and change their religion from Jewish, Mormon, or Episcopalian to Catholic; various ethnic origins to Irish.
You'll note that each new account was created after the previous was blocked.
You'll also note (circumstantially) that each username is an author ( Clancy60, Fleming60, Ellroy20), at least the first two of whom had articles vandalized.
The vandalism is repetitive, almost routine. Mixed in are the odd non-vandalizing edit; rather banal and pointless. Problem, of course, is that wiki-hours are spent policing his edits which could be better spent on constructive editing; it takes no less time to view a constructive edit than to reverse a bad one, and more time to try and track down whether a plausible edit is valid. I have been reverting as a matter of course given that none of the edits are sourced or even commented upon.
It would be nice if he could be blocked permanently (wish wish wish). It's risible to see the "happy happy joy joy" 4-stage wikiwarnings when you know blinking well that this is a disruptive vandal sockpuppet (in a real-life sense, if not electronically provable); he doesn't even really try to disguise himself. I hope you can find a common IP.
If he should surface again (I don't know, say as "Routh20" with the same edits) can he just be blocked as a matter of course, or do we have to go through the 4-stage "naughty naughty" each time?

Hello Kuru, I am contacting you about your recent block on User talk:13.8.137.11 for one month. I note that the associated page User talk:13.8.137.10 was only blocked for a week. Since the same issue was occurring with both pages this appears inconsistent and likely a result of the other page being blocked by a different administrator. I feel this warrants further review since the IP address is a Xerox proxy address and thus used by many other users. Perhaps one of the soft blocks should be used instead or a shorted time period? Thanks for your help. WilliamKF 23:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Kuru,
I just noticed that the Washington College article has been changed back to its previous state, the one that was not agreed upon through your mediation attempts.
Once again there are no sources or credible citations to justify allegations and edits. They are simply citing the same article they did before (which makes no mention at all of said allegations), and quoting a new article that is not linked, and may infact, not even exist.
I was wondering if we could revert the article to the terms agreed with during your intervention. Additionally, I was wondering if you could possibly find out if the people who were vandalizing my wall are the same people fighting so hard to edit this article. I have trace-routed them, and all land on the same Comcast address in Baltimore.
Thanks for your help,

BossTalks.com is not a commercial project and does not have any advertisement on it at all. It keeps the simple style, easy to use information, RSS feeds, you can subscribe to it through any blog reader software. It have a very easy profile, with the email and password only necessary fields, it's very easy to sign in and post, or you free to read without any registering. It's a new site, but it will fill the niche of free and easy to use project management sites, either software / IT or just PM in a common sense. The most of pm forums are hard to register, lacks of content, having questions without answers for the most of the content, the most of sites are not free, or very hard on ads. Please review your decision and allow me to add this site to let the community grow. Of course I never expected to get more traffic for BossTalks just because of publishing and promoting it to search engines through Wikipedia.

Good morning Kuru.
The purpose of this Talk discussion thread is for me to learn more and understand better your/Wikipedia's position regarding the appropriateness of having content on the topic of "Stockhouse".
I perused the various links that you provided to me touching Wikipedia's various editorial rules.
Here was my logic for adding content on "Stockhouse":
1) it is a potentially useful tool that anyone trying to create wealth in stocks may appreciate;
2) I did identify Stockhouse's strengths and weaknesses in an attempt to be neutral and unbiased; and
3) before creating the Stockhouse entry I did explore Wikipedia and found much content on the subject of on-line resources available to the public including, amongst others:
i) Motley Fool ii) Yahoo iii) Google iv) YouTube.
Please provide your position regarding my three points above.
If you agree that Stockhouse warrants inclusion in Wikipedia than please advise on how the entry could be better wordsmithed to comply with Wikipedia's editorial rules.
Thank you very much.

Hi. I need some Admin advice, if you could spare it.
There's a battle of words over a proposed move at Talk:South Tyrol over the naming of the article. It seems to have devolved into two camps: an Italian POV and a German POV. Apparently one of the German users canvassed over at the German wiki to weigh in over here; in retaliation, another user posted to the Italian wiki here. (An edit with comments sums it up rather succinctly). My reply is here.
This is deplorable. Canvassing on another wiki is bad enough, but to then do the same on another wiki as retaliation seems counter-productive at the very least, if not escalating to the point of disruption. I am wondering what can be done in this case. Rather than a discussion over what this article should be called in English it seems to be a linguo-nationalistic war between Italy and Germany.
Your thoughts and guidance on my next move would be greatly appreciated. -- SigPig | SEND - OVER 19:44, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Kuru. Thanks for your quick response. I'll let you know if anything happens again. For what it's worth, I'd agree that the editor is not your run-of-the-mill vandal, as most of his other edits are relatively harmless.

Is there anything that can be done about the user JJonathan?

An anon vandal 68.161.68.171 is doing almost exactly the same crap that User:Clancy60 and his socks have been doing; bad edits to Brandon Routh were the giveaway. Any way to check this out, checkuser to see if it's from the same guy? Hate to pass this to you, but I have no faith in AN/I. He's received a "this is your only warning" but has continued.
As for your statement about blocking the original master-of-socks: is the few "good" edits a vandal makes outweigh the disruption that user causes? Every edit the user makes becomes suspect; at the low end of the labour scale, every edit has to be reversed -- hopefully not reverting any good edits that may have been inserted by another user -- and if there have been edits inserted after the vandalism and the bad edits cannot be "undone", each bad edit must be individually changed. If not done on sight, then each edit which may be plausible may have to be researched before being reverted -- taking up more hours that could be devoted to constructive editing. Seems to me that a user this disruptive should be blocked -- else then all a vandal needs to do to keep from being permanently blocked is to throw in a few "good" edits. Or am I completely misreading what you are saying? (I know I have gotten the wrong end of the stick before -- maybe -- so it's not totally impossible it might happen again, unlikely as that may seem.)

Thanks for your info on the appropriate ways in which to add content (relating to my recent posts on the Recruiter page). Please clarify for me though, if Koya Consulting is in fact a well-established, legitimate retained executive search firm ( http://www.koyaconsulting.com), and if there are many other retained executive search firms listed on those pages, and if many of those firms also have their own company pages in the Wikipedia, how is a new company page created or how can information about a given company be added to a given page?
To be clear, I did not intend to advertise for Koya Consulting, and I knew about the nofollow links, I just felt that Koya Consulting was another retained search firm that could be added to Wikipedia just that way that a number of others already are such as,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egon_Zehnder_International
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korn/Ferry
After all, if MaidPro ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MaidPro) is referenced in Wikipedia, why can't a well-established retained search firm such as Koya Consulting be referenced?

So what can we do about this guy? He claims to be removing spam but, from his talk page, he has a lot of people up in arms having removed all content by anyone who has linked to any site he considers spam, and for removing all links that share a domain with anything that he considers spam.
In my case, he has removed a link to free content on my company's site that was added by someone else (not us), and he has removed the link to my PhD thesis from the Wikipedia page about my Hilbert-Hermitian wavelet. In both cases, his justification is that the links point to pages hosted on ffconsultancy.com and he is claiming that I used IP addresses from all over the world to add these links in an attempt to advertise. My only conflict of interests here is a vested financial interest in seeing my book listed among the other OCaml books.
Given that I found a lot of interesting content (free videos about research, e.g. on molecular biology) from the links that Requestion removed because they pointed at specific and relevant pages hosted by the University of Washington, I must assert that he is reducing the quality of many pages.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookkeeping
I see external links to online bookkeeping services are offered here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_bookkeeping
Would this be an appropriate place for a link to Bookkeeper-For-You.com?
Please note, the sites already linked to are commercial enterprises, whereas Bookkeeper-For-You.com is a free service provided as a gift to net users.
Thanks for your advice. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pub4you ( talk • contribs) 23:31, 8 April 2007 (UTC).
Thanks guys,
"So my advice is don't bother editing Wikipedia articles."
Yes this is the heart of my question. Is it worth it to contribute here, when there are so many other ways to give away free content and services?
Please understand I'm not outraged, or anything like that. But I do notice that links to competing services are left in place, while mine is deleted, and the question is dodged. Not a scandal on anyone's part, just a classic sign of any project built upon volunteer effort.
Honestly, I'm too busy making free stuff for folks to have time to join a community where these kind of debates will go on endlessly.
Anyway, please don't take offense, none intended, just trying to be honest.
Best of luck to you all, I'm off to greener pastures.
Thanks again, Kuru, for your quick revert of vandalism to my talk page. I do appreciate that, as always. -- JFreeman (talk) 12:07, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
You warned me about adding nonsense to the Alamo page but I have never even been to that page. Frankly your message was offensive and I am not sure where you got your information, but I never even visited the Alamo page (until now) let alone make changes to it. I am sure you work hard to keep wikipedia accurate and am also sure your work is appreciated but please double check before you accuse someone of something. The only pages I have edited were for grammatical reasons and those were usually pages on T.V. shows and cartoons. Thank you for your understanding, -the guy you accused —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.56.209.98 ( talk) 14:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC).
Nice, I enjoyed the subtle put down. Ironically I am hoping to attend Texas A&M this fall. I noticed shortly after posting that my IP address was used not my account (which I have forgotten as I have not used in in several months). Also, the message dated six months ago appeared the day I posted to your talk page as a "new message." This message was not there the day before I posted. Also this was the first message "I" had received and as such was unaware that they were dated. Sorry to show my ignorance, but I'm sure someone out there will get a laugh out of it.
sincerely,
the future aggie
P.S. please note the use of quotations is intended to highlight irony not to be sarcastic. I was pathetically attempting to be humorous. (by the way, I was also accepted into Baylor this year (I'm told it is the Harvard of Texas))

You recently removed my entry for Boxing Rebels, stating the reasons below:
(It is a very short article providing little or no context (CSD A1), contains no content whatsoever (CSD A3), consists only of links elsewhere (CSD A3) or a rephras)
Would it not be a reasonable idea to at least contact the contributor and explain the situation before removing the entry?
It was my first attempt at creating a proper wiki entry, and yes it was short, but it wasn't finished, I was planning to add to it over time.
'Providing little or no context, no content whatsoever'. Hmm, I'm not sure what this means. I explained why the forum was created in the first place (context), and tried to give some idea what forum is about(content). Obviously this is not good enough for the incredibly high standards here.
As for the last phrase of your statement, 'consists only of links elsewhere' that's just nonsense. There was one link, which was referencing a quote used in the entry.
I am trying to write a serious wiki entry, but it seems I'm not going to be given the chance.

Kuru,
Many thanks for you swift reply. I apologise for blaming you for deleting the article, yours was the last name on the list and I had no idea that it had been vandalised previously.
Is there any way I can see what was actually deleted? I was working on it for much of yesterday, and when I left it it was still intact.
I accept that parts of the original article may not have been up to the standard required, but as I stated before I am trying to write an article that fits within the guidelines meted out by wikipedia.

I see you are interested in Texas History, I have just noticed and thought you might want to know that the page for Y.P. Alsbury one of the five men who burned Vince's Bridge at the Battle of San Jacinto is being considered for deletion because he is "Not Notable". Under this criteria how can most of the other heroes of the Texas revolution be considered "Notable" either. They may not be notable to someone in New England, but to a Texan they are very notable. -Timu

Hopefully you can help me again.
The article apparently has links that I have attempted to remove, but others have always replaced
diff, after warning them
diff, and a misunderstood response by one person on my position
diff. The links seem to be a violation of
WP:SPAM, because the companies hostng the links also attempt to sell (although free) products that help remove SpyLocked. Wikipedia should not withhold sites to tools that remove SpyLocked. The rest of the article seems all right thus far.
An opinion on the situation would be nice... Sr13 ( T| C) 07:01, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm more than a little puzzled about the removal of the reference in this edit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Enterprise_resource_planning&diff=124458601&oldid=124432525
It is absolutely clear that although the article is focused on SAP, the SAME concepts can and SHOULD be generalized to all ERP applications.
Please explain the reason for removing the reference. The fact is that more companies that implement ERP solutions (no matter WHO the vendor is) should be focusing on business benefit... That is the object of the article, in spite of its title. And there is no attempt to see any software or service anywhere in the article. In fact, it ends with very specific steps that any company can take with ANY ERP application.
Before simply deleting the reference, how about taking the time to thoroughly read and understand the article, and the fact that it can be generalized to ANY ERP application?

I have added your removals back until I can get a clearer understanding of what specific rule or what specific issue you have with the content of the article. Absolutely NOTHING is being sold, directly or indirectly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.74.135.19 ( talk • contribs).
I would consider the fact that I spent several years as the SAP knowledge manager for a good size U.S. National Consulting firm, and have close to 13 years of ERP SPECIFIC implementation experience, and have noted an article with an academic orientation and specific examples a pretty compelling reason that it is sufficient.
Further, the whole orientation of the site for the reference is to help business get the MOST out of their ERP implementation... Period... Nothing to sell, just free information from many years in the trenches.
However, I note that about 3/4ths of this "piece" is not referenced to anything, academic or otherwise. So it begs the question, should it ALL be deleted?
Please note your specific qualifications and credentials, and a reference to your resume or vita.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.74.135.19 ( talk • contribs).
Hi, I found Wikipedia last week and have added information and edited some pages. I have also added links and information about the Anaheim Visitor Center which is located across from Disneyland. Although it is a commercial site for our family business, so is Disneyland and hundreds of other sites within Wikipedia. Each time I have returned to the page or looked up other information, my links have been changed, deleted or in some other way updated to be directed to a wrong address by user Monotonehell. I wrote him a letter on his page and asked him to please contact me if he were going to make these changes so I could understand what I was doing wrong. Instead, he did it again on a page where the letter "e" was added after ".com".
I have access to many computers but would rather understand the malicious attack from this person who won't bother contacting me but continues to make changes (I even included my phone number to make it easy on him).
Knott's and Seaworld are commercial sites, too and they sell tickets - so, why one site would be allowed and another not seems very arbitrary. This is the same with hundreds of other sites on Wikipedia.
I am not a vandal and included Monotonehell's name to make a point. I looked through history first to be sure these sites were replaceable and nothing I did was un-doable or I wouldn't have done it.
I'm also not computer literate and had to work for about 10 minutes to figure out how to contact you so, anything I do will be, I'm sure, harmless.
So, please be kind enough to reply. I'm sure you can do a lot more ill to me than I can to you or this site.
Thank you.

You asked why I moved the Stephen King sub-articles into the main article?
I think that the bibliography should be on the main page like most other authors here, but there's no reason other than that really. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Adam B. Sheets ( talk • contribs) 02:58, 22 April 2007 (UTC).
No other reason. I saw that at the bottom, but even if it is changed back to the sub articles, in my opinion that section should be right below the biography.
Also, why not leave the changes I made, but delete the film section? The reason being that most of the films listed there were not written by King himself, therefore my changes are more relevant, in my opinion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Adam B. Sheets ( talk • contribs) 03:05, 22 April 2007 (UTC).
I see what you're saying and I agree. I'm sorta new at this and I should have discussed it first, you're right. However, I still think that King's screenplay and teleplay credits should be in the template and that the current film and TV section of the article has little relavance to King himself. Anyway, sorry for the abrupt changes and I'll try to do better next time/
Thanks for your support in my

thank you for all of your kind words.
I have done and will continue to do the utmost to serve the community in this new capacity, wherever it may take me, and to set an example others might wish to follow in. With a little luck and a lot of advice, this may be enough. Maybe someday the enwiki admins of the future will look back and say, "Yeah, that guy was an admin." Hopefully then they don't start talking about the explosive ArbComm case I got tied into and oh what a drama that was, but we'll see, won't we? Surely some of you have seen me in action by now; with that in mind, I openly invite and welcome any feedback here or here -- help me become the best editor and sysop I can be.

Kuru,
You edited links to InfiniteCredit.com that I posted on the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act. I am not a spammer anymore than than the link to Creditboards.com is and I am upset that you seem to think I am and have threatened me with banning. I posted that InfiniteCredit.com could help with understanding FDCPA and FCRA rights which it can. It is no more spam than any other self-help link for any other topic on Wikipedia. I am not a vandal nor a spammer. You can access my email at blitzkim@yahoo.com and have my ip addy. InfiniteCredit.com is a legitimate self-help website for help with problems with debt collection or incorrect reporting of debt and our community doesn't take this lightly and we do not ask for nor accept money for our help. Please respond either to my email or to my talkpage. This is the first time I have ever edited a wikipedia content and am stunned that you would consider my contributions as spam. I am requesting that you reconsider. If you want to check, our website is 4th on Google Search for credit repair discussion, and 5th on credit repair forum. We are legitimate and have been helping consumers since 2004 and operate the site just like Creditboards.com. If we are spam then so is Creditboards. Please advise.

Hello Kuru,
Your user page is very nice especially the quote at the top, which is something I plan to share.
Recently our web designer brought a concern to our attention that was directed to us regarding comments published by you via Wiki that are both defammatory and innacurate.
When a search of google index pages for our company, the following appears:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=eastlandmortgage.com&btnG=Search
A few links down a wiki string of cached information leads to a pubished statement regarding us that is not accurate.
One of our associates is a college student who has published a directory (free of charge to all users we have been told) for jumbo lenders. We along with many other lenders are included in it. He has told us that if he intended to create spam it would 1- refer primarily to one company, and 2- not have a valid address. He is concerned that his directory was not only misinterpreted, but that it was published publicly as such. Further we are concerned that our webmasters shared use of an adjoining suite is your sole basis for publishing defammatory comments against our company, and our (very nice) webmasters attempt at what appears to be a reasonable directory for a niche in our industry.
Please take corrective action to be sure we are not published in a google search in a way that makes a deffamatory claim about our firm, and our webmasters directory. We do not wish to initiate an action between us and Wiki, a non-profit two of our members have supported.
Thank you.

Looking back at Yamamoto Ichiro's talk page, I wanted to assure you that I was meaning, in no way, to insist that he take's Deskana's points into consideration. I was merely stating my opinion that I agreed with Deskana's point he made in the RfA where he pointed out that replacing the George W. Bush page with "he is a democrat", is not blatant vandalism, and I'm sorry if it came out the wrong way. Yamamoto has done tons of anti-vandal work, and my only concern was that he may, unintentionaly, bite the newcomers. All of that aside, he has the right to take the advice he wants, and it's no big deal. You're right that he should enjoy the tools, and I have no doubt that Wikipedia will benifit aswell from him.

Thanks for the welcome and thankyou again for explaining why my external link was removed. I have read the guide lines and will cease to enter in Dragons Touch no matter how relevant the link due to the fact that i own the site.

Hello,
I received you warning message today and apologize for any misunderstanding. I will not add anymore links. I have a question though, what about the references to "Iron Mountain Inc." It contains a direct link to their page which would serve as an advertisement and under your guidelines, "Spam."
I did not take adding a few links to areas where we can help consumers to be spam. I figured we were simply adding helpful information to an area where a lot of people have questions. I care about search engine rankings, but am not interested in using wikipedia as a platform to make our ranking better, I simply felt we were adding helpful information. Apparently I was mistaken.
I do feel though that you use the word "SPAM" quite liberally. On many of the pages I added information to there were plenty more links to other companies as well.

Well, Kuru, it depends on how you define a turbine, doesn't it. Would you call a rotary crop-sprayer a turbine? Heron's affair worked the same way, except with steam jets. Taqi al Din's and della Porta's device played the jet in a fixed direction on rotary blades, so it comes closer to a turbine except that it had no casing to concentrate the flow and must have wasted an awful lot of steam around the sides.

I was wondering why so many editors don't give a source for information they add to Wikipedia, and why so many stub articles have an external link section that was apparently created as a reference section. I think part of the answer is in Wikipedia:Introduction and Wikipedia:Tutorial. I glanced through them, trying to view the information from a complete newcomer's perspective. I saw a few things that might be contributing to some problems in Wikipedia.
Carefully hidden away is something of major importance to the integity of Wikipedia: "Wikipedia requires that you cite sources for the information you contribute."
Based on this introduction and tutorial for new editors, I'm not surprised that there are thousands of unsourced and poorly sourced articles in Wikipedia -- and many short articles and stubs with "External links" sections and no citations. Wikipedia is only as strong as its editors, and new editors are often guided by Wikipedia's Introduction and Tutorial. 65.78.213.45 03:45, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi there Kuru, I saw the excellent work that you did on trying to remove the spam links from the external links section of the Prince2 article. I have tried to resurrect this effort and I have put the page out to RFC. Unfortunately only one user has commented and it is undoubtedly the anonymous spammer. Obviously there is no point doing an RFC if the anonymous spammer can post whatever anonymous comments he wants. You seem to be a far more experienced wikipedian than myself and was wondering if you had any ideas what to do? Wikikob 13:15, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Kuru, I am getting fed up with this anonymous user who keeps following me around and I hardly feel its worth bothering you with this but I have to counter assertions such as "the edit history of Wikikob comprises almost entirely of deletions and no content input" and that I am a recently registered user. The truth is that I registered as a user in October 2004 and have made substantial contributions to the Prince2 article. This is my first experience with a wikipedia troll and it just makes me wonder why wikipedia allows anonymous users to contribute. Why not ask everyone to register? Oh well, all part of my learning experience. Anyway, thanks for your input. Wikikob 08:54, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Can I ask you to reconsider your decision? The contributor in question is gaming the system to the extreme, and WP:MEAT is akin to WP:SOCK in Wikipedia's books. I left an additional comment on the 3RR page article.
There wouldn't be a problem if the above contributor was promoting verifiable fact, but instead is agressively promoting a personal "theory" agenda in reverting the same. I have done much to get mediation in this, but in the meantime User:Hardouin is doing all he can to profit from the low traffic/level of knowledge of most English wiki contributors in these articles to promote personal agenda over fact. The facts are readily available (and even obvious), if you have the time to read the relevent talk page - in looking at this perhaps this user's agenda will be clearer: reverting to the same unverifiable terminology again and again on the same articles, and this for more than two years now - and yesterday's reverts were just more of the same. Cheers. THEPROMENADER 06:58, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Kuru. Just discovered Promenader's accusations today. This is not the first time this happens. This must be the 7th or 8th time this user accuses someone of being my sock-puppet and files 3RR complaints against me. Whenever someone agrees with me and disagrees with him, then it must necessarily be my sock-puppet! He even asked some admin to check if their was sock-puppetry once, but of course the admin couldn't find any sock-puppetry, yet this hasn't stopped Promenader from renewing accusations as you can see. I wonder if you know a way I could report Promenader's behavior. His harassment is reaching extremes. Whenever I edit Wikipedia he reverts my edits within hours with complete disregard for civility and Wikilove, then go on making accusations and starts fights. It has lasted for almost two years now. Two years of harassment! I have told admins before, but nobody has really inquired on Promenader's behavior so far. Do you know any admin that could check this? If you're interested I can give you a list of editors who have witnessed Promenader's behavior in the past two years and who will happily tell you about his behavior. Hardouin 09:12, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
User:Dsol has been shopping his complaint around for a long time now, including with User:SlimVirgin and User:Brighterorange and nobody has yet taken him up on his proposal that the eXile article should include phrases about a named well known celebrity having 2 vaginas and a named well known reporter having a horse sperm creme pie shoved in his face. Please see SlimVirgin's removal of this tabloid information [47]
Please remember that WP:BLP states that Wikipedia is not a tabloid, and that biographical info for LPs must be stated conservatively. Dsol might object that it is all quoted by reliable sources: a) not true, b) irrelevant,
a) the couple of sources he's managed to dig up are just saying that the eXile said "..." Quite a difference. They also say things like (approx) "The eXile visciously attacks innocent people and goes well beyond the bounds of decency." Without the qualifiers, the article is simply misleading.
b) irrelevant. The info as presented is still direct from a tabloid, still not conservatively presented, still misleading, and not needed in the article. On it's face it is completely against WP:BLP. Nobody at WP:BLPN will support him so he shops it elsewhere. Do please look at his claimed support by User:The Evil Spartan, and please be aware that he will misquote you too.
In short, I can't see anything to discuss with Dsol, he wants to include garbage in a Wikipedia article, and I'll revert it. If you want to decide this matter, I'll ask that you look closely at the article and what Dsol wants in there very carefully. Also please look at what other administrators have done.
Thanks in advance for your carefulness.

Re: your deletion of my edit. I think an article on outsourcing should mention online outsourcing, including examples (as with the examples of traditional outsourcing companies, wich I deleted as I fail to see how they add to the article). It's a very rapidly growing area. I listed several and am researching others.

Hello, Kuru. Your action is unfortunate, unwarranted, unnecessary, and unkind. Apparently you fell into the trap of some so-called 'editors' here.
I am well-aware of the etiquette required when contributing to Wikipedia, a PUBLIC forum where no registered user or group of users has editorial authority. However, some here (including yourself) do not honor the spirit of this forum but regularly violate it while falsely accusing sincere contributors of violations; I can see you are either one of the false accusers or simply someone who allowed himself to be carried away by a mob mentality instead of exercising character and examining what really happened.

Kuru, I understand and appreciate your comments. With utmost respect, this is the second time you and I have discussed this matter. As I have stated to you before, I am the original creator of the articles Lease option and Lease purchase contract . As you can see by the history of the articles, original credit goes to Lease2Purchase.com. The link I added to Lease option titled What is a Lease 2 Purchase contract? from Lease2Purchase.com was already included in Lease purchase contract and has 100% relevance to the topic, yet you removed it from both articles, citing it as spam. Did you examine the link I added? Spend a minute of your time and read the link I provided, it is valuable information to most folks whom find themselves researching this topic.
I have been a real estate investor specializing in these techniques for over 10 years. I am an expert on the subject. With all the misinformation on the internet regarding this topic, the link I provided is without question the most accurate definition available and would be welcome information to all visitors who happen upon these pages. I respectfully request that you add the link back to both articles.
Ironically, I am also an original contributor to an open-source *nix server-side email spam filter, which might help you understand how I could be offended that I am now actually accused of being a spammer. I look forward to your reply.
Edit: It is possible I am mistaken about previously speaking with you about this. It could have been with a different Wikipedia member. My apologies if this is the case.
Respectfully, Jeff_B 13:42, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
You're welcome. Because I'm somewhat new to actually editing articles, would a link to the L2P Chat Board (I will delete this link after I receive your reply), which does not contain promotional material, be considered an unacceptable link for the two articles? My apologies if this is not the right place to discuss this. Jeff_B 01:01, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Edit-1: Also, what if the links to the page in question were removed (the links moving the visitor forward to the How-To page? I could create a special page without any further links. Would the article then be acceptable to add to Wikipedia?
Edit-2: Kuru, are you not willing to discuss this with me anymore? I was thinking about joining the Wikipedia adoption program.
With much regret, it appears that we will have to agree to disagree. I had sincerely hoped that you would help guide me rather than taking a firm "No" stance.
The L2P chat board averages more than 1,500 unique visits each day, with over 7 years and 20,000+ messages which are searchable in the archive. The vast majority of users come for information, and once they find it they go about their business. I owe it to anyone searching for information on the subject to explain to you that lease options are highly specialized and objective, thus once a topic has been discussed, there really isn't much more to be said about it. Furthermore, your "unreferenced commentary" criticism above is offensive and not appreciated. Like most folks, I work hard at what I do and take pride in it.
Please remember that I've already had this conversation with another Wikipedia member who already authorized the link and content I added -- which you subsequently removed with (apparently) minor due diligence. I am the author of the original articles. Without my contributions, they likely wouldn't even exist.
I've made a conscious effort to check the articles every day (I've already removed some spam in just three days!). As free time allows it, I plan to stay active with them, which includes adding useful links. If you plan to "filter" what I add, please read up on the subject. A great place to start would be here: Lease purchase contract, and then spend five good minutes on the L2P chat board. Jeff_B 11:32, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Blue Pixel, it is possible you're right, maybe I really don't understand how Wikipedia works. I've refrained from updating the pages in question any more until I learn the ropes a little bit better. I AM trying to learn before I go and mess the system up, that's why I've been talking with Kuru. The way I use Wikipedia is to research or learn about a particular subject -- and I've used it a lot lately! :-) I have updated my talk and user pages quite a bit lately, check them out and leave me a message if you like.

Hello Kuru. There have been some comedians visiting Portal:History/Featured article/November, 2007 this morning. I just did a revert, and I see you've been doing the same.

Can you help me get this right? I have my book page on my user page. It's "bookshelf" on my user page. -- Foggy Morning 02:08, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
I added a few references I have found helpful myself in using VBA in Excel. My additions were as follows
For examples of VBA code see Robert de Levie [1]. For more about the Excel Object Model, see Roman [2].
You deleted these references from the article. In my opinion that reduces the value of the article to a potential user. Why not leave them in? Wouldn't a print Encyclopaedia do that?
One could argue that any choice of references is a bit arbitrary, given the huge number of choices. However, in fact these references are somewhat unique among all the Excel books in being very helpful without hype about how great the software is. Brews ohare 23:16, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for nabbing the vandal with the long numeric name who just vandalized my userpage... much obliged. I suppose my deleting his silly page is what set him off. Accounting4Taste 00:42, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Why did you remove the University of Miami link? How is it different than the Motorola University link that is already there?
Thanks, Rick
Hi Kuru, i saw you remove my link from CPM and PERT. Well...nothing personal. However, please go through this page PERT again. My students said it is quite useful. There are 3 parts relevant to PERT 1) PERT 2) PNET 3) Simulation using EXCEL. If there is any problem or suggestion, dont hesitate to tell me. Thanks :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chachrist ( talk • contribs) 06:16, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey Kuru...i just add external links on Critical Path Method. It would be nice if you can give me some comment on this one. Moreover, i also add external link on Resource Allocation.

I worked on some articles today and noticed that nobody has messed them up with nonsense during the past week or so. Sometimes you made quiet little edits to remove something that didn't belong there. Thank you for helping me!-- Foggy Morning ( talk) 01:26, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
I just noticed that you removed my report of personal attacks by Special:Contributions/86.139.179.254 on WP:AIV, marking it as stale. What exactly was the resolution of my report? Newtman ( talk) 03:58, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

You were the Wikipedian who welcomed me here back in June and we both hail from San Antonio. I think we should start a WikiProject:San Antonio because I am finding it hard to believe how many San Antonio related articles are red links. Austin, Houston, and Dallas already have one. I think its time we start one. What do you think?-- S TX 01:53, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the help there it is appreciate. However can I ask you to please log any entries that you make. This may seem a little irritating but in 6 or 12 months time the rationale may be impossible to find and the listing will then be removed by someone. I've just had to do exactly that on a Meta listing than no one logged! Let me know if I can help - cheers -- Herby talk thyme 08:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Kuru,
I think what you're doing is great: watch vandalism on THE internet free encyclopedia. In my case, I am a true contributor of the text I wrote (and which by the way has been already copied from my web site by commercial organisations who sell it to readers without my permission!!).
This is the reason why I thought the text would be a good one and because I think Wikipedia is a good (the best) way to distribute information broadly, I have added the section Business to IT Alignment to the IT Governance page.
You can check that I have added the sentence you told me to add on my web site: www.it-to-be.com
I hope this time the section is published on Wikipedia as I prefer to give it for free and let people update/modify it then having commercial minded people make money out of it without asking me if I am OK with what they are doing.
Thanks for your understanding.

Somewhere over the past few days the Vpmi article was deleted from Wikipedia and subsequently removed from the list of proprietary web-based applications on the List of Project Management Software page. I am not sure how Vpmi was removed, but it was an article on Wikipedia for months and should be brought back. I have audited my watchlist and cannot find any note as to who deleted this article. It seems malicious. I am requesting that the article be restored and that Vpmi be returned to the List of Project Management Software article where it was before. Please respond as soon as possible. I am hoping you can help. -- Tilleyg ( talk) 17:48, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello Kuru,
REF: Direct Inward Dialling - I've started a discussion regarding this article and the list of SELLERS, I think that is the best way forward instead of people making the changes and then having someone undo the changes. kind of pointless really. I would therefore request that the article is locked until such a point it is finalised by either a user discussion or via a wiki mediator. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.69.239.238 ( talk) 15:03, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
