no worries. We all are excited over the proof-of-concept video shown at Comic-Con, but since there there has been zero announcements over the film's production status. Once we have official confirmation from Disney that the film will be made, then we can go hog-wild with articles, etc. But until then, remember that all information must be sourced back to factual support; otherwise any yabo with a blog could be listed as "someone said that TR3N is in production by Pixar and stars Hoagie Carmichael" and it would be taken as fact. Be patient, if it's going to happen, it will. SpikeJones ( talk) 19:42, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Well, the "z" was in there before you corrected the missing "i", so you didn't actually introduce an error where there wasn't one before. And "z" would be "conzidered" correct in the US, but since it's a UK registered ship I thought the British spelling would be more appropriate. There are plenty more US spellings in the article if you wanted to go on a binge. Rees11 ( talk) 15:17, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
The closing bold code ''' in your signature is inside a wikilink while the start was outside. This effectively causes the closing ''' to be ignored so the rest of the signature including time stamp becomes bold. Please fix the signature so it doesn't end with an open bold, for example by changing
'''[[User:Phantomsteve|<span style="color:#307D7E;">Phantom</span><span style="color:#55CAFA;">Steve</span>''']]
to
'''[[User:Phantomsteve|<span style="color:#307D7E;">Phantom</span><span style="color:#55CAFA;">Steve</span>]]'''

Just so you know it's largely been resolved by the community that you only need to inform the person about cc-by-sa 3.0, although it is multi-licenced. That is what OTRS volunteers have been advised and it came from within the Foundation. I have dealt with politicians here in Australia and I'm quite happy with how much easier CC is to explain to them than what we had - the notion of free content is hard enough without pages of legal gobbledygook. Hope this makes things easier from your point of view :) Orderinchaos 18:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your help with the table. It seems to be the </TR> closing tags that fixed the problem (I did some more experimenting in the sandbox). I seem to recall reading somewhere that a new line automatically closes a <TD> element, so the absence of </TD> tags in this case was probably ok. Indeed, in the sandbox, I took them out and the table was still alright. When I took the </TR>'s out, however, the old problem recurred, although in a different place! I'm still curious as to why the table worked as HTML directly in my browser, but not as wiki markup. Also, if the </TR>'s are necessary, why did the table work at all without them? These are rather technical questions, I don't expect you to beat your brains answering them, I'm just musing. -- Ong saluri ( talk) 01:30, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi there, thank you for your recent edits to bazedoxifene.

thanks for your reply to what I'd posted on the Sotomayor talk page. I had understood a talk page to be just that: a place to discuss the article. Someone had deleted my words within minutes of my posting. Deleting is assuredly not discussing. I think I will go ahead and seek sources, as you suggest. Some things, such as whether language in the article is biased, cannot be sourced. I suppose I should create an account for this as well. It should be an interesting experience. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.181.242.155 ( talk) 20:11, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

For example, I´m still not sure how to add an infobox or a picture to the article (I would very much like to do so). I own rights regarding the copyrights of both the text and the photograph I intend to upload.
Regarding the citations you mentioned, doesn´t the "press releases" section work? It has links to official sites where Carlos Lascano´s work has been featured, or pages where he has been interviewed.

Hello Phantomsteve, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I have changed a page you tagged ( Jackobillia) from being tagged for speedy deletion to being tagged for proposed deletion. The speedy deletion criteria are very narrow to protect the encyclopedia, and do not fit the page in question. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Thanks again! - Jarry1250 [ humorous – discuss ] 15:30, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
Very nice work cleaning this up -- table code is one of the many things that I need to figure out but you nailed it.

Hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to check my article, and I´m so so sorry for changing it. I was trying to correct some things that turned out mispelled (like muertos comune´s.... it is "muertos comunes", or "inspiration"), and accidentally erased the whole thing. I am so sorry.
I understand what you mean about being unable to verify the awards. Most of the festivals don´t have websites, and some of the ones that do, don´t keep always track of past years. However, "Marionettes" Worldfest award, for example, is on the Worldfest website, in the archive of past years (1998).

g'day Phantomsteve,
hope all is well with you. yes, i am responding regarding your message sir. first let me explain. as soon as i saw your message, i went berserk hahaha. so i went again to your help desk and mentioned my angst and pangs there. if you go to Help Desk, you can read my message there. someone told me that anyone can edit my work so i deleted your message in my article. am so sorry, very sorry i misunderstood everything until i clicked your userpage.
well, let me start. dya know that my article had been edited by a couple of editors in the past since i submitted my artcle to wikipedia. i followed all their messages. Originally, "the Transformation" was long but some editor removed them and footnoted it with (Number 1). i was saddened at the time but i respected that editor because he or she wanted it that way. My article had been edited for a couple of times and replied to all the messages there until they got what they want. my article has never been edited for quite sometime until "ukexpat" help me kindly in inserting the image or logo of my alma mater. i uploaded some images a couple of months ago and forgot all about it. i thought by uploading photos, they go automatically to my artcile but at the time i didnt know about your logo templates. it was ukexpat who inserted that logo for me. it's so nice of him. meantime, the other day i read in the internet news from the philippines that my notable alumnus by the name of Nelson Nario was moved from his post in the Isabela Province to Mindanao in the philippines. hence, i edited his update in a short sentence based from what i had read to update also my article with Wikipedia.
i have never entered anything in the history of my alma mater because i thought all had been resolved from the couple of editors that edited my work in the past. As ya know, i am too frightened to touch the history because it had been edited a couple of times in respect to the editors of wikipideia who helped me and were very helpful. what you have read there were purely edited by your fellow editors. even the references were fixed by your editors because i could not access the "reference page" and asked them for help in your Help Desk.
i dont live in the philippines anymore for some three decades now and everything that was written in my article are referenced and based on current information. it was purely research and from my recent contact with fellow alumni who are also based overseas. i am just also helping my alma mater lift its standard a bit. as you know, i went to a "public market" high school and i feel the need to share something to my poor ole school (tears). i was a pioneer student of the school and i was one of the creator of the school publication there. modesty aside, i am also the first managing editor of the school.
I can be contacted through ************ to discuss further the issues.
Thank for visiting my artcle and my personal regards to you.

Your description of Thornton Heath in your Croydon there is quite similar to our Croydon here, realtywise our Croydon is "upclass" pretty much unaffordable (for people like me) because it is so close to the CBD and amenities (and rich in history too). i used to live in a suburb beside Croydon where we rented a flat some years ago. anyhow, thanks for welcoming me to editing. i still have to explore the technical guidelines on how to edit wikipedia though. i look forward to reading more of your future contributions here.

I saw your followup questions - while I could post this there, I thought I'd just make a couple points here. You wondered why Colin isn't directly corresponding. Did you catch that he is 82? While my 90 year old father in law uses email, it isn't "natural" to him, and had he been in the same position (seeing something on the internet about him he didn't like), he would ask me. (In fact he walked in the door as I'm writing this and he confirmed. I am mildly concerned that the WP position is that anything can be in a bio if it can be confirmed. I know I need to address this at some bios project page, but I'd like to see us defer to the subjects wishes in the case of living persons, if the matter involves family fact not relating to notability. I see that these have been removed, but they show up on many websites in many locations - WP is understandably a source for many places, we need to make sure we exercise appropriate responsibility. I'm not really trying to debate you on this topic, I guess I'm just practicing. I was also disappointed to see so many unreferenced claims, some unverifiable, in a bio that has been around so long. I'm still new here, and wary of getting into BLP battles, but may have to wade in. I think we need better processes regarding unsourced claims - if nothing else, we should require a moindex tag on bios without references.-- SPhilbrick T 14:26, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi PhantomSteve, I've actually taken a read through your conversation with Sphilbrick (all very fascinating as a relatively new member to wikipedia), and I completely agree with the age issues that are causing me to be used as a proxy. I've spoken to Mr. Franklin again and he is still insistent on removing the article - I've tried to tell him that he was a notable figure in his field and the entry should be seen as a recognition not as a foul, however, it is his personal opinion. Thereby, could we start the process of emailing in the issue? I could ask him to send the email, he is still a fellow with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, so his email would be "@ieee.org". If that is not suitable, I could email you for him, I work at the Communications Research Centre Canada (where he did a lot of his work), it's a government research lab under Industry Canada so my email is "@crc.gc.ca".

Dear Phantomsteve, I knew I screwed up the tilde thing. I couldn't remember how many it was and I put too many, and after it was done I didn't know what to do. I assume wikipedia is using Hmtl or whatever it's called (I always thought it looked like heavy metal) and I don't know how to use it. Also I've never done anything with the little numbers in the text and the footnotes on the bottom. I am way out of my depth here, as far as formatting goes. There are a couple other authors I know of who have no entries in wikipedia and if I can struggle through, I will write articles for them, too.
I went back and refound my sources (ancestry.com is HARD to refind stuff on) and pasted the address at the top of the page onto my Marcia Martin page. I didn't go back to abe to find listings for the books. There were nearly 1400 books for sale that were by people named Marcia Martin and it took me hours to go through them. Oh wait, I could just search for each title. Shit. Well, I'll go do that now, that would be one abe listing for each book, is that what you want?

I am very confused by wikipedia. I'm just not a computer person. I left the message wondering how to move the article before I heard from you before. I figured it was something I had to eventually learn! And if no one ever looked at my page, they certainly would when it got moved out into the fast lane. Cause, you know, so many people are crying to know about Marcia Martin.
I did paste the address on the page where the actual photographs of census records are. The trouble with ancestry.com is that you have to be a paying member of it to use it. The US census records themselves are a matter of public record, easily accessed at research libraries in any good sized US city. I don't live in the US, though, so I'm a paying member of ancestry.com to get to them. I don't know if there's any free way to look at census records on the internet.
I got hints from one of the family trees, yes, but I looked at their sources of information (information on the trees are sourced) and went to the originals. I didn't use any information that I found only on a family tree. There really wasn't that much to begin with, and for the purposes of this, we don't care about the ancestry of the person. I am assuming that you don't pay for ancestry.com, and I'm not sure what records outsiders are allowed to see. I know that before I joined, I would occasionally get links to them, but if I tried to maneuver around the site, I was barred.
My information came from the actual census records. When I lived in the states I used to use Case Western Reserve library to see the census. The census is certainly a reliable source, as far as the limitations of the census taker, himself, and his handwriting, etc. Same thing with the draft registration cards. They are photographs of the actual cards. I don't know where else you can access them, I never used them in research before. Had no idea they were out there, and how helpful they could be.
I'm not sure what you want me to do here.

Hi PhamtomSteve, You said that I could come to you if I needed any help. I would like to take you up on that offer. I have a concern about the drawing of the test track for the uk television show Top Gear found here and here and the raw copy is here. The problem is that it is the old design, by memory they stopped using it in 2005 and changed to a longer track thus removing all times and starting the times all over again. I don't know wheather or not you have Google Earth or not but if you simply type in "top gear" in the google earth search it will direcct you straight to the current design of the test track. I have even gone to the trouble of uploading a screenshot for you here. As you can see for yourself is is much different than the one you guys are currently using.

Hi, I'm the one who started the above article. It's pretty new so citations are sparse - it's mostly a translation from Polish wikipedia. The Pietrzak reference I added is pretty exhaustive although it doesn't have much on early life of the guy. The other ref which I just added has a lot less. I have not been able to find any English language sources (and believe me, I've looked) - however, both the Polish language sources are reliable. radek ( talk) 16:34, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
I noticed you have been doing some of these. As you may know SmackBot dates many of these every day. However there are always some it can't get out of the undated categories - for various reasons including subst'ing of templates, really bad attempts to use some kind of date template within the template, addition of categories manually etc. Keeping up with these exceptions is a good way to improve the bot, but I often fall behind.

Yeah, I've been a little busy myself lately. As far as a 'reliable' source goes, I fear that I am out of luck. The Washington Post or similar periodicals wouldn't run a story on this type of event, and I'm unsure where to proceed. I guess that this may end up being one of the articles that 'isn't noteworthy enough' for wikipedia. Wrestlemania is basically the same thing, but for professional wrestling, and most of the 'sources' are from the wwe website, but there's no problem having an article about that, *sigh*. Maybe one day EVO will grow, and I'll update my article as best I can, but until then I think I'm out of luck.

The article now includes references that document the vandalism as well as rewriting or deleting where I couldn't quickly find a reference. As a former traveller on that rail line I can certainly remember the times the station showed signs of fresh vandalism (often scorch marks) or the time the train I was in was hit by a stone thown by a vandal (anecdotal evidence suggests this is common). However, none of that satisifies WP:RS Hopefully the recent edits will remove the NPOV problems. Autarch ( talk) 17:36, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Figuring out how to execute a task on Wikipedia can be remarkably confusing. The content in which something is presented is not always clear. The method by which one might respond is unclear as a result. So, thank you for this note. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kernel.package ( talk • contribs) 01:09, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi Phantomsteve,
We've had only a few exchanges, but it's clear that you are an authoritative editor to be trusted. For this reason I would like to propose a rather unconventional opportunity, which, given its last minute nature, you may not be likely to be interested in, let alone respond to - but hey, I'm going to give it a shot anyway.
Long story short: as previously introduced, I'm a PR consultant for Burson-Marsteller - a rather large global PR consultancy - and was recently charged with the task of developing the digital capabilities for our Singapore office. Tomorrow, I'm going to be giving an introductory, lunch-hour session on the nature of Wikipedia, the do's and don't's and everything else I've determined as critical information that my colleagues should be aware of IF and when a client say's to them "I want to have a Wikipedia article, can you advise".
On that note, I'm wondering if you would be AT ALL interested in taking 10-15 min out of you day to join our very casual introductory session and answer any of our outstanding questions...concerns etc. You'd be most welcome to listen in on the whole thing of course...which will approximately run for about 45 min. If you chose to do so, I, the moderator would welcome you jumping in at any given time to contribute, contest, applaud...whatever you felt appropriate.
I'm in Singapore which is GMT+7 meaning that as I write this it's 8:30 pm on THURSDAY. If you are anywhere in the US...let's say New York, it's would be exactly 8:30 am THURSDAY MORNING for example. SO, yes, there's a big time diff., and I would be giving this session at 12pm Friday my time...whatever that translates into in your time, it's likely going to be evening on Wednesday.
I know this is a shot in the dark, but I would very very much welcome senior input such as yours if you at all interested.
I would propose that we do this via Skype...but there doesn't have to be any image on your end if you're not keen. Of course, we'd have our camera open so you could see us :)
My name again, is Tanya van Soest and I'm found under *********** on skype...here of course...or via ***************@********* should you wish to converse off Wikipedia.
In the event that you cannot, or do not want to have anything to do with this, and you think you may know of another editor who might be interested, I'd welcome the suggestion.
Thank you in advance, for at the very least, consideration of this request.
P.S Would like a talkback response please.

hello! (many apologies in advance for my lack of capitalisation; the best shift key on my keyboard is broken.) so, i'm a new wikipedian (and i want to sincerely contribute as best i can), although i am not completely stupid when it comes to editing. today, i noticed that the "Dan Brown (YouTube)" article was messed up in a certain area. a chart on the page that should contain 25 links was all disjointed and the text format was such that it didn't form a chart at all. i know quite a lot about what needs to go in the chart, so i decided to fix it. i learned how to construct a chart and set to tidying the article up.
to cut a long story short: when i edited in the 25 necessary links to Dan Brown's youtube videos (which is the whole purpose of the chart in the first place), i got a message saying that, due to so many external links, my changes had been removed, because i could be a spammer or something - which i completely understand is a safety precaution. but it wasn't just my links that got removed, it was ALL my past changes that disappeared - even ones that were just grammatical improvements and updates.
needless to say, i was discontented. not angry at all, but a bit thrown-off course. i don't want to tarnish my potential to be a good editor; i want to be mildly confident when editing articles, and i don't want to shy away from editing, however this has really put me off quite a lot. every time i get a future message, i don't want to be worried that i've done something wrong. the last thing i want is to ruin wikipedia or break the rules!
but anyway, i really thought that the links would not get removed - there are many other links to Dan's videos that are in his article, and this was my first time putting links into an article. i have read and examined the 'external links guidelines' and i believe that my links conform to wikipedia's policies - they don't link to malware, they don't break copyright, they don't advertise etc. but all the same, they got (automatically) removed. i don't want to just re-edit the links onto the page, because they might get removed again. i want to make sure that my edit will be legitimate. basically, i wonder, should i edit my links back in? or should i just leave it and hope someone else tidies up the page?
i hope i haven't confused you, i do tend to oversimplify often. thank you for your time! Katabee ( talk) 18:41, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi again,
I did contact them and they were very happy for me to use the logo,and to modify it etc. so they will definitely say yes. As for other images, they are keen to do that too and they said they would send me some. So I will have a go with that, thanks for the help- I was just a bit unsure about how to fill in the upload form as I have not done it before.

Uh, what's the problem? I wanted to create a new page for myself, started hooking it up, confirmed my email address, but the thing is, I didn't understand some of the user/creator setting's, to make this the way I want it. Like no number's by or instead of my link's. I wanted a different background skin, other stuff as well. It's great having all the many feature's, but it's overly confusing to many, when all the info should be (untop new page, misc creator's) simplified.

Hello PhantomSteve, thanks for your answer. As you say , the discussion page of the article has no trace of "Shiver of recognition"'s explanations. I don't think it is worth it to write to "Shiver...", since his personal page and discussion page are empty : it looks like he appeared on 2009, January 8th, during the night, in the middle of a dog-fight over the article "Bacon", and did'nt show up until now.... I know the film deals with a lot of social important topics : American-Mexican people in USA, unwed teen pregnancy, immigration, homosexuality, competition for housing, culture clash etc...etc..., but it is what makes the film interesting, and I think I wrote with neutrality about these issues, and after viewing 3 times the movie. As I said, I know and love the latino culture - and about homosexuality, I have several gay people among my friends, and am fully tolerant about their way of life. For me "Shiver"s reverts are only of the vandalistic type. How could I make the article come back to its former version ? .

Hi Phantomsteve. I have updated the A.D.A.M., Inc. wikipedia entry to include citations where I could, and deleted additional text that may have been construed as advertising. It is very important to have an up-to-date and complete Wikipedia entry, as (as you know) the Wikipedia entry shows up on the first page of the search results. Please could you let me know if the edits I have made are not sufficient and if more are required? It is my understanding that wikipedia authors and editors have worked to keep the articles factual by editing, and therefore I do not want to create a situation where the entire article needs to be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericarenzo ( talk • contribs) 18:56, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I notice you posting on the help desk often, and you're very helpful. However, I just need to point out that this site is called Wikipedia, not wiki. A wiki is any website using wiki software; there are thousands of them. I just want to make sure that no newbs are confused. You can abbreviate it as WP if you don't want to type the whole word (I usually do that, as I'm pretty lazy). For more information, check out WP:Don't abbreviate Wikipedia as Wiki. Have a good day, and keep it up with the great advice! hmwith t 14:34, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Phantomsteve,
I am having a hell of a time creating a page for Jaseng Hospital of Oriental Medicine. I'm not attempting to promote it just state the facts about what it is, what it does, address etc, etc. Initially I used the Wooridul Spine Hospital as an example to follow but was quickly red flagged and blocked for lack of citation. I'm not wanting to get anyone in trouble but the Wooridul article does not have a single reference, which is why mine was lacking. I understand my mishap however unintentional it may have been.
In learning my errors, I gathered numerous online sources to verify information, but am struggling to upload a thumbnail photo, for example for I am unsure of the liscensing of the photo, even though I am permitted to use it by the chairman of the Hospital. I am also struggling to understand how to put in cited references and footnotes. I don't understand the codes. I have been looking at the Mount Sinai Hospital Site as an example now. I am a beginner at using Wikipedia for these purposes, so any constructive help would be greatly appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhowsie ( talk • contribs) 06:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
<ref>your reference details</ref>

; if it was in a book: <ref>"This is a title" by Alfred B. Charlie (published 1919 by Lemotif Books, London) - page 16</ref>
or in a newspaper: <ref>"School founder's memorial service" by A. Journalist (Croydon Advertiser, 26 August 26, page 11)</ref>
. If you had items like that, it would be relatively easy for another editor to tidy up the citation!Hi again,

I thought I was being gentle by using a softblock and the softerblock template message, rather than a spamusername block (which would have been technically justified IMO) on this COI s.p.a.! Almost all spammers for non-profits feel that they are not really promoting, just "educating the public". Part of NPOV is that we have to be as firm and impartial with somebody pushing a noble cause or entity (i.e., one we agree with) as we are with a normal commercial spammer or crank. -- Orange Mike | Talk 14:59, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, Phantomsteve, for your help with Ratifiers for Democracy, and on what constitutes an notable organization. I would argue that it does, as it is one of the few models of modern reform studied in universities around the world, having become part of the curriculum. Ratifiers for Democracy has made a powerful impact on reform discussion in many countries, including Singapore, where ARDA has reprinted a Ratifiers for Democracy editorial. See http://www.asiademocracy.org/content_view.php?section_id=1&content_id=270
Ratifiers for Democracy is considered by many political parties think tanks such as the Salzburg Global Seminar and in open discussions on blogs such as GetUp (see http://www.getup.org.au/blogs/view.php?id=754).

Yes, infact that photo is taken from the book "Santa Marija Hamsin Sena fil-Katidral" of the Reverend Bezzina (There is the complete bibliography on the article).

Hello Phantomsteve
Thank you for your help and advice regarding the Task Force page I created last week. I have one technical question. Some of the internal links I would like to use in the article lead to empty spaces - pages that have not yet been written. I'd like to write these pages too, and think they are worthwhile in their own right (not only because of the Holocaust Task Force). Is there any problem with me doing that?

{{under construction}}
then a notice will be shown explaining that the article is being worked on - it won't necessarily prevent other editors nominating it for deletion, but it may stop any 'speedy deletion' nomninations - as long as the article is being worked on! Also, near the bottom of the page, make sure that you use the tag {{stub}}
, which will show that the article is a stub-article rather than a completed one.Thank you for very useful advice! One other question - I have made a number of edits (I hope improvements)to the article, adding references and a criticism section. Would it be possible for you to take a look and, if you agree, remove the tags regarding lack of references, inappropriate tone etc. I hope I have managed to address these issues now. -- Kameyer ( talk) 10:40, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Ok - thank you for taking a look although you're so busy!

I understand that this is an issue you have to be weary of, but is there anything I can do to resolve the problem? In relation to wiki links, I have now wikified the article as much as I can, with some links still going to empty pages - I will do more research on these and see if they are worth writing. The only issue that really still confuses me is tone - I'm not sure how the article could be more neutral, and as far as I can see it complies to the guidelines (no jargon, only 3rd person etc).

The reason I made mention of needing some indication of humorous pages is that I've only seen one example — when searching for information on Bibliographies, guessing that WP:BIBLIO might be relevant, clicking on it and seeing this page, without the identifier that it is a Bibliomaniac15 creation. I'm happy to hear there is a rule, but it wasn't followed in that instance. Perhaps I'm a little irked because I thought I was reporting vandalism - I was admonished for not realizing it was an attempt at humor, and now that it has been reverted, it clearly was vandalism.

Steve, please stop reverting IP edits on this page. I forgot to log in - they were legit. Furthermore, not all IP edits are wrong. You deleted about three hours work I'm struggling to get back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexanderryland ( talk • contribs) 18:37, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
Steve - you didn't just revert the sources though. You reverted entire sections. You could easily have removed the individual source instead. From Saturday more sources will be available because the website in question will officially launch.
I do beg to differ though - Blogs can be a great and reliable source, especially if, like the source I used, it is a direct copy of a press release. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexanderryland ( talk • contribs) 19:27, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
There's been coverage in the Scotsman and on the BBC, both of which are noted as sources on the page. The youtube video was an attempt to upload the audio file of coverage on BBC Radio - I couldn't get it to upload directly to wikipedia. If there is a way of doing this (I only have it in wma format), I'd appreciate a hand. It was on a news bulletin, so it's not permanently in iPlayer or anything like that. —Preceding

Hi, I am writing from Thurman White Middle School in Nevada, where I am visiting today. I saw the warning you issued to this IP (and earlier ones). The vandalism is likely being done by tween-age students, who are never going to read or heed the warnings. Just so you know. Maybe a schoolblock is in order?

My response: I prefer to leave message on your talk page. What is the data you have to say, it is vandalize. Hyderabad Police is truly committing crime, this is based major news paper reports and conducted polls too on Orkut (23 of 26 respondents felt the same). Am reflecting public opinion.
AP Police has 75,000 head count, every day one or other person commits crime publicly and it comes in news papers too. You can visit blog http://apstatepoliceweekly.wordpress.com/ for more information.

Hello. I work in the Columbus Symphony Orchestra's administrative offices in the Marketing Department. We are currently changing the name of the symphony to "Columbus Symphony" and dropping the "Orchestra." Could you possibly change the title of the page to reflect this new change?
We will be posting an updated history, information section, etc., once it has been looked over within the department.
Thank you.

Hello. Thank you for your reply. We are in the process of converting from the "Columbus Symphony Orchestra" to the "Columbus Symphony." Currently, the Columbus Symphony is at the start of its classical season, and the name change is a gradual process, as it is not currently a top priority. Current marketing and print materials for the 2009-2010 concert season DO reflect this change, however, even though it is not evidenced on the website, except by the logo. As to your concern regarding a conflict of interest with the Columbus Symphony, I am not a paid employee of the symphony, but rather an unpaid intern, with a background in music performance, not editing, or arts administration. Thus, I do not feel that a conflict of interest is present. I will be in touch once we are able to get the ball rolling on the name change. Once it is complete on the official Columbus Symphony website, I will contact you again and hopefully get the ball rolling on the name change process.
Thank you.

If you find a book, magazine, newspaper article, etc that you want to use as a reference, just type one of the following after the information in the article which the reference is about:
<ref>''Title of article'',author of article, (Title of newspaper/magazine, date of article, page(s), column(s))</ref>
<ref>''Title of book'', author of book, (publisher, date of publication, page(s))</ref>
<ref>[http://web-page-address ''Title of webpage''], author of page, date of page's creation, website name</ref>
For example:
<ref>''An article in a well-known newspaper'', John E. Beegood, (The New York Times, 1 August 1987, page 6 col 2)</ref>
<ref>''How do I create references?'', Met-al Icca, (Heinemann Publishing, 1964, pp. 16-17)</ref>
<ref>[http://www.a-reputable-website.org/a_useful_page.html ''How to Create Useful References''], PhantomSteve, 12 March 1999, a-reputable-website.org</ref>
Then at the bottom of the page, make sure you have the following two lines:
==References==
<references/>
-or- {{reflist}}
This would generate (for the above examples):
References
With basic references like this in place, more experienced editors can tidy them up! The hard bit can be finding references!
Please make sure you read the guideline Reliable Sources which details the kind of sources Wikipedia prefers to use.
If you have any questions, just ask me! Regards, -- PhantomSteve ( Contact Me, My Contribs) 14:26, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi. This edit to Gold is certainly not vandalism, so it shouldn't have been reverted with Huggle, meaning without a descriptive edit summary. I have reverted to the IP's version as the clarification is useful if you read the paragraph (it is not obvious to lay persons that it is the only gold isotope, not the only isotope at all, that decays in that manner). If you have another reason to remove the insertion of the word gold in that sentence, you certainly may remove it, but please explain why. Thank you. The Seeker 4 Talk 15:43, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. Would you pls take a look at this article? There's a user who first edited via IP, and then even though you reverted his edit, the IP edits continued vandalising the page. Few hours later a new user appeared, & continued vandalising the page adding unsourced material.

Greetings Phantomsteve.

The final English text needs naturally to be checked by someone (also the comments in.. hmm, "code"!), but I hope my contribution is worth of smth.

Hi there. Thanks for the input regarding the User:Matt Deres/Zimmerman article. I had planned on doing some deep searches for good sources, but just haven't had the time due to that pesky real-life thing intruding on valuable wiki-time. Although it's userfied and in some vague sense more "mine" than a normal article, please feel free to work on it should you have the time/inclination. Porn-related topics are difficult to write about on WP; on the one hand, it seems easy enough for a porn starlet to meet the notability criteria (it's not like the movies take a long time to produce ;-), yet it's hard to write proper articles for stuff that you "know" to be important based on experience. Should Mr Zimmerman's article ever make it back into the fold, maybe I'll try "Meriday in the Morning" next; easily the most famous, most widely disseminated, ASCII porn ever made, but there's not a lot to say about it in a referenced article.

Hello Phantomsteve,
Hope you are doing well. We have been contributing to wikipedia with reliable information for the past year. Nia Lyte is a new internet TV Talk Show host and one of the top web talk show hosts. How ever per her request she will like to delete her name from Wikipedia inmediately for two reasons:
1. The fact to question in public that her information is not true or false is an embarassement for her fan web site of 500,000 viewers. She does not have press agents at this time so everything is in the internet. She has a career as a host and the information published about her is true you can see this in her show. Live Video or Live Universe is owned by Brad Greenspan here s the proof for this, perhaps the team in Wikepedia did not do the proper research on internet hosts. She is the co-Founder of Shin Koyamada Foundation is in the official web site and she helps a lot of children around the world and raises money for different causes. How ever this deletion process and questioning of Nia's information can potentially damage her image and causes. For this reason we as to please delete ASAP this page and article of deletion until we have more press on her, magazine interviews. Maybe was too soon to add her to Wikepedia. But she is indeed a respectable and amazing human being and web talk show host.
Here are some links and articles for you to see that Live Universe/Live Video is founded and CEO by Brad Greenspan: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/02/02/was-anyone-still-in-doubt-over-liveuniverses-demise/ http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/02/liveuniverse-an.html
Here is the link to her internet show wee it says comments from her fans and you can see the proof there is over 500,000 audience in this internet show.
http://www.livevideo.com/liveshow/InternationalBeauty
You can also see in the home page she is always in the top 5 web shows every day.
2. It is very damaging to imply she did not tell the truth about her education as she did intern in the US Congress and published her first book at age 19. How ever all the press for this is in newspaper articles collected as proof.
So please understand why we will like to delete this page and she wants it delete it right away. People and fans google her name and then in wikepedia it appears is not true what she is saying when it is true. Also accusing of vandalism is a mayor offense knowing that all that we publish is correct if you see the track record.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Shinca ( talk • contribs) 18:09, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello Phantomsteve,
Hope you are doing Well. I am contacting you regarding Wikipedia/Nia Lyte. Our company has been adding constructive material and articles to Wikipedia with verifiable information for the past year like for example Shin Koyamada, Paul Heller you can verify this. I am a new internet host with a show over 500,000 viewers and co-founder of the Shin Koyamada Foundation. The team decided to add me to Wikipedia but I will like to be removed ASAP for 2 reasons:
To imply in public in front of my fans, business clients that my information is not true is not right and is not good for my career or image. The information is true but there is not enough press on me or press releases. But you can see that have a show with over half a million viewers and also that Live Universe is indeed founded and CEO Brad Greenspan: you can also see I am the Co-Founder of The Shin Koyamada Foundation and I am a top internet host. All these was in question in public and my fans and business clients started to ask me what was happening.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/02/liveuniverse-an.html
http://www.livevideo.com/liveshow/InternationalBeauty Www.nialyte.com < http://Www.nialyte.com>
To verify this you can go to the most viewed shows under entertainment, you saw the most viewed shows under people, they have different categories you need to click entertainment and you see my show there. To verify the views of my live show not videos as you saw you can go to my liveshow page and see under the archives there is 519,268 viewers so far. I was hired by Live Video to host a professional talk show to launch the web site how ever yes anyone can create shows or videos there but not everyone is a feature show and my show is. Perhaps we should wait to be in Wikipedia once there is more press releases and my TV Talk Show goes on air.
www.shinca.net
2. I deal in our company Shinca Productions in partnership with Paul Heller ( Producer of Enter the Dragon) & movie star Shin Koyamada ( The Last Samurai) also verifiable with high profile actors and business men. Also we do a lot of events with children and helping them through our foundation so to have this in wikipedia is unacceptable. Yes I did intern for the US Congress and yes I donate 15,000 books we have all this documented on news papers clips but again there is not enough press or reliable sources like you mentioned. And no is not vandalism either so please remove this from Wikipedia as is not right. I am a respectable career woman and negative comments or press can hinder my career and enterprises as well as those of my business partners. Perhaps was too soon to add me to Wikipedia.
http://koyamada.org/en/who/staff.html
I am sure you may have had people who did altered the truth but not our team so I think your team made a mistake on this one and that is ok. We will wait until there is more press releases and more fame in order to be in Wikipedia. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or my lawyers. I will like my name deleted from Wikipedia and any banners that this article is considered for deletion for truth misconception by Monday please. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Thanks for your interest and reply (21th of oct.) on the help page. Since you will be away for a week, I will prefer to talk on this page. You state that you incline to agree with Tajik’s reasoning to revert my name edits , assuming that there is no reliable source. I assure you that there is no source problem. The problem is that Tajik seems to wrap all medieval Middle East cultural history into Persian history. While a great deal had been contributed by Persians, the Middle East history is not solely a Persian history. Although, he has reverted a number of my edits, the following are especially important. (as they appear in Wiki) : Mahmud al-Kashgari and Ali-Shir_Nava’i. You can check those articles. Taking the risk of being rather boring, I’ll summerize why these names should also be shown in Turkish.
Mahmud al-Kashgari, ( Turkish: Kaşgarlı Mahmut) He was a Turk and was writing in Turkish. In 11th century he wrote the first Turkish Arabic dictionary claiming Turkish to be as powerful of Arabic.
Ali-Shir Nava'i: ( Turkish: Ali Şir Nevai) He was a Turkish poet of 15th century and was writing mostly in Turkish. (But he was living in Afganistan) Barry Hoberman calls him Caucer of the Turks. [1] He is studied in Turkey in secondary schools as one of the forerunners of Turkish literature.
I don’t try to change the names of the articles. I only want to add the Turkish names in parentesis by the template ( Turkish: ...) I have the right to do so. But Tajik always reverts the editions an act which I feel is nothing but a loss of energy both for me and Tajik himself. Nedim Ardoğa ( talk) 12:27, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Contact Me,
My Contribs) 14:14, 22 October 2009 (UTC)Phantomsteve,
I really appreciate your feedback on LinkedNow's article :) The irony is that I sincerely understand your motivation and enjoy working with energetic and passionate editors like yourself. Please also understand my frustration. One editor said that it maybe ok to keep the article 3 months ago, and now this issue is re-opened, again. What makes it worse is that I strongly feel that the article 'somewhat' meets the definition of notability.
Yet, our argument seems to span around these three issues: a) how recent is the news, b) how many unique sources, or c) how useful the site's business is. All, except 2 points seem to be irrelevant to the discussion of the notability. In fact, wikipedia does not discuss a + b anywhwere. However, it provides us with some general guidance for (c). Multiple as if "having or involving or consisting of more than one entity or individual"
Once again, Phantomsteve, thank you for your help and I am looking forward to working with you again :)

Hello,
I have had to modify the template to a ifequal statement, similar to the episodelist subliust workings. however i think because it has a table in it with {| it is causing confussing to the if statement, if there anyway to get it to disregard the code and treat it like characters?

Hi, Im new to wikipedia and am interested in editing a sentence in an existing article. I had a go at the sandbox, though doesn't help much. When I went to edit the page, a blank box appeared which scared me from doing anything, as i wasn't sure if i would wipe out the original article??? I assumed that editing would have brought up the original article and i would edit/replace the sentence in question with the correct information. btw i don't know what a talk page means though it feels as if i have read pages and pages of info re editing and guidelines, i hope this makes sense and i sign off properly, kind regards juliette Juliette Rose ( talk) 13:27, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Wayne Cogswell aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie Wechseln zu: Navigation, Suche Wayne Cogswell (* 12. September 1937) ist ein US-amerikanischer Rockabilly- und Rock-’n’-Roll-Musiker sowie Songschreiber. Cogswell schrieb Ende der 1950er- und Anfang der 1960er-Jahre Hits für Stars wie Chet Atkins, Skeeter Davis und Floyd Cramer.
Leben [Bearbeiten]
1954 zog Wayne Cogswell, der damals bereits verheiratet war und fünf Kinder hatte, nach Memphis, Tennessee, auf der Suche nach Jobs als Musiker. Zwischenzeitlich hatte er den Bühnennamen „Wayne Powers“ angenommen. In Memphis arbeitete Cogswell zunächst als Verkäufer von Unterdruckreinigern und traf im selben Jahr noch Ray Harris, der gerade auf der Suche nach einem Gitarristen war. Cogswell schloss sich Harris‘ Band an und in den nächsten vier Jahren spielten die beiden zusammen. Mit Harris nahm Cogswell bei Sun Records in Memphis auf und war Co-Autor mehrerer Songs von Harris (Come On Little Mama, Where’d You Stay Last Nite, Foolish Heart).
Als Ray Harris Sun 1958 verließ und das Label Hi Records gründete, blieb Cogswell bei Sun. Er bekam nun die Gelegenheit, selbst für Sun ein paar Songs einzuspielen, von denen My Love Song und Point of View unter seinem Künstlernamen „Wayne Powers“ bei Suns Sublabel Phillips International veröffentlicht wurden. Es sollten jedoch seine einzigen Aufnahmen für Sun bleiben. Stattdessen arbeitete Cogswell für Sun als Studiomusiker und neben Jack Clement und Bill Justis als weitere „rechte Hand“ für Sam Phillips, den Besitzer des Labels. Zu seinen erwähnenswerten Arbeiten zählt die Betreuung von Mikki Milans Session, während der Milan Somehow Without You einspielte.
Anfang der 1960er-Jahre begann Cogswell sich mehr auf das Schreiben von Songs zu konzentrieren. Für Chet Atkins schrieb er die Hits Teensville, The Slop und Rainbows End sowie Skeeter Davis‘ Someday Someday. 1964 hatte Cogswell in kommerzieller Hinsicht seinen größten Erfolg. Al Hirt machte den mit Ray Peterson geschriebenen Song Night Theme zu einem Hit, der auch von vielen anderen Künstlern gecovert wurde. Cogswell nahm den Song selbst auch mit Peterson unter dem Pseudonym The Mark Two auf seinem eigenen Label WYE Records und 1967 bei Roulette Records auf. Er komponierte Songs auch als Wayne Powers und als Winston Cogswill.
In der Gegenwart tritt Cogswell immer noch auf.

Hi Phantomsteve,
Thanks for the reference updates! The Singapore International Energy Week concluded last week with many energy experts discussing and propelling the drive for sustainable energy.
As such, could we trouble you to edit "is taking place" to "took place" in the following line? 2009: "Clean Energy: Sustainable Solutions for Urban Cities" Singapore International Energy Week 2009 is taking place from 16 - 20 November at the Shangri-la Hotel in Singapore.
Additionally, there has been more media coverage on the event. You could consider the following for the references:

Actually this sort of stuff was determined to be deletable a while back (where if I recall correctly, I did not feel them as evil as others did) -- I generally weigh in where I feel the reasons so far given on a topic are insufficient for the result sought by those already posting. With the mass deletion of secret pages in the past, it is difficult for me to expect a different result now. Collect ( talk) 00:31, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

On November 13, 2009 and again no November 20, 2009, I submitted a copy of the photograph and a copy of the assignment of copyright to Wikipedia via the e-mail photosubmission@wikimedia.org. I have not heard back yet regarding my request to have the photo displayed on Dr. Lin's and Dr. Hymers' website. Can you assist me in this regard?

Hello Phantomsteve, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Kind of Blue (TQ album) - a page you tagged - because: A9 doesn't apply as there is an article for the artist ;o) Needs to be AfDed or PRODded.

Hi Phantomsteve - thanks for your help on my watchlist issue. However, I have tried deleting them from my watchlist several times in the ways you suggest, and they just re-appear again. I think it may be some kind of virus. Also, they are deleted pages (I have never visited or added the pages to my watchlist before). The pages are called HÁGGER? and H A G G Ë R ? ? . I am concerned because I recently read a page about an anti-social, disruptive editor called Grawp, who apparently uses these names to create sock-puppet accounts. Is there anyone who can look into this? Thanks. Pexise ( talk) 17:56, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for telling me. How did you know, since apparently there was no advanced warning? Or was there, and I missed it?
Actually, I am a wee bit surprised at this procedure, since I believe this stub did give some sources, and that the role of Eliza Hancock as a major inspirational source for Jane Austen must have been quite apparent, 'notable', in fact...

Hi Phantomsteve!
Thanks for reviewing my page. I am still learning Wikipedia (I'm just starting to grasp all the mechanisms that make it work so great).
The OpenCTM page was marked for deletion, and indeed, it was written by the author of the software, and so it is a bit difficult to keep a neutral perspective, but I try my best.
The reason that it was created by me alone, and not someone else, is probably that OpenCTM is quite new. However, I have received much feedback and questions through various channels (mail, forums, interviews etc), so I thought that a Wikipedia page would be appropriate.
I have made some updates to the page (and I intend to continue to do so) - do you feel that the current version is more adequate? I also intend to add sections about the software library, the tools and the compression algorithm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcus256 ( talk • contribs) 22:44, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Dear Phantom Steve:
I really appreciate your guidance. Thank you for all your direction. I think I may have placed the references concerning 3rd party interviews with newsources in the wrong section. Your comment about the sparse References section made me realise I should shift those sources where they rightly belong as references! (Unless you think they should stay right where they are.)
Beyond the interviews, there are other sites that mention or note Aase as an authroity in social media use in health care. I'll add some of those as well. After I perform these tasks, I'll likely ask for your review again.

Dear Phantomsteve,
I saw a message left on this users page about a IRC Chat, while I wasn't privy to the chat, be aware that there has been meatpuppet activity going back a few years with DoM. The coordinated planting of information by this organization is pretty well documented and was the subject one one very nasty arbitration decision. It surprises me a bit this has come back given the website is dead and the organization seem to have disapated. The last coordinated attack has been quite a long time ago, but it certainly looks like they could be gearing up for another one if their pattern of behavior is similar to the past. Feel free to have a look at the archieves of the DoM page if you want more info. I am not as active in Wikipedia as I was was and don't believe in the cause precisely because of this bs, but I do drop by from time to time. Davidpdx ( talk) 11:44, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your efforts in trying to find a reliable source that discusses facepalm as a gesture. Unfortunately, both of the sources you cite discuss *facepalm* as a written expression or internet meme, not a gesture. I think, therefore, that the information more properly belongs at the page Facepalm (making it a stub article rather than a redirect), and not on a page devoted to "culture specific gestures that can be used as replacement for words". I suggest that you (and not I) should move the information in order to preserve attribution. Thanks again, Cnilep ( talk) 15:45, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

I have lots of links eg to Victoria police, Department of Health etc all citing the CASAs but Chzz rejected these at the time of creating the page as he said they weren't reliable sources (I think that was the term he used).

I don't know if you are saving to a text editor and waiting to relist them all at once, but I wanted to be sure that you were aware of the second step to relisting.
Also, a few of the discussions (e.g., Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2009 December 16#Template:Always Sunny) do not appear to need relisting... Although only one other editor has commented, most deletion discussion processed do not require a quorum in order for a discussion to be closed. – BLACK FALCON ( TALK) 22:10, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
I noticed you relisted some discussions on Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 December 16 for the second time (that is a third week). That is a little unusual. It may be better to close the discussions as no consensus in such a case. This is my personal opinion, I do not know if there is any guidelines about this, but I wouldn't mind discussing it with others on Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion.

Steve you can now see that both ryulong and treasurtytag have vandalized the page NUMEROUS times and then tried to cover it up. They have also sent to other mods that I did it. I have reported this. If I get banned for this there will be hell to pay and I guarantee ryulong and treasurytag will not be on this site anymore. Now steve they have vandalized numerous times the diffs I have posted against Coffee. I repeat, they have vandailized numerous times diffs I posted against Coffee. They then reported to another mod that I did it and they have deleted this off the history SEVERAL times. I already told an admin about it. You better do your job or I will raise serious hell over this and admin WILL be removed. Wiki Greek Basketball ( talk) 14:23, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. Would you mind stopping to use

etc. when commenting in an RfX? The community has long ago decided against such images in discussions (per
Voting is evil and see related TFD at
Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/Deleted/June_2005#Template:Support_and_Template:Object_and_Template:Oppose) because they are increase page load times, make discussions seem like a vote, may distract from the actual comment itself and are generally adding nothing to the page except more text and a nice looking image that no one really needs. Unless you think your comments need to stand out amongst others, there is no reason to make them in such a way. Regards

Dear Phantomsteve, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind vote on my request for adminship which failed with a final result of (40/19/12).
Thank you for your participation in my RfA which I withdrew after concerns of my knowledge of policy. Special thanks are owed to Coffee, who defended me throughout and whom I cannot thank enough for the nomination; to 2over0 for being supportive and helpful; to A Stop at Willoughby for the thorough, thoughtful and articulate support rationale; to IP69.226.103.13 for maintaining composure and for a pleasant interaction on my talk page and, last but not least, to Juliancolton who was good enough to close the RfA at my request and, frankly, because an editor whom I respect so much found the time to support me! If the need for more admins at the main page is still apparent in a few months, I may try again. Thank you all for a relatively drama-free RfA and for providing me with much material from which to learn from my mistakes. You're all welcome to drop by my talk page any time. God save the Queen Wiki!

Wanted to thank you for finishing the sorting and making sure the thing was in proper form [10], and I'll thank TreasuryTag as well for catching it orignally. I'm going to AGF on it too since I've always seen MF as obviously knowledgeable on discussion rules there's no reason at all to think they removed my comment in pure spite. I consider mine a reasonable comment on my part since the !vote given is a very IAR-style reason to oppose that may well have never previously been used at that high a level of discussion and I wanted to express my respect for the !vote compared to my original confusion. If inquiring about IAR-style opposes in a tight discussion is a problem, I'd rather MF have taken it up with me. No end harm done, and again my thanks.

no worries. We all are excited over the proof-of-concept video shown at Comic-Con, but since there there has been zero announcements over the film's production status. Once we have official confirmation from Disney that the film will be made, then we can go hog-wild with articles, etc. But until then, remember that all information must be sourced back to factual support; otherwise any yabo with a blog could be listed as "someone said that TR3N is in production by Pixar and stars Hoagie Carmichael" and it would be taken as fact. Be patient, if it's going to happen, it will. SpikeJones ( talk) 19:42, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Well, the "z" was in there before you corrected the missing "i", so you didn't actually introduce an error where there wasn't one before. And "z" would be "conzidered" correct in the US, but since it's a UK registered ship I thought the British spelling would be more appropriate. There are plenty more US spellings in the article if you wanted to go on a binge. Rees11 ( talk) 15:17, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
The closing bold code ''' in your signature is inside a wikilink while the start was outside. This effectively causes the closing ''' to be ignored so the rest of the signature including time stamp becomes bold. Please fix the signature so it doesn't end with an open bold, for example by changing
'''[[User:Phantomsteve|<span style="color:#307D7E;">Phantom</span><span style="color:#55CAFA;">Steve</span>''']]
to

Just so you know it's largely been resolved by the community that you only need to inform the person about cc-by-sa 3.0, although it is multi-licenced. That is what OTRS volunteers have been advised and it came from within the Foundation. I have dealt with politicians here in Australia and I'm quite happy with how much easier CC is to explain to them than what we had - the notion of free content is hard enough without pages of legal gobbledygook. Hope this makes things easier from your point of view :) Orderinchaos 18:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your help with the table. It seems to be the </TR> closing tags that fixed the problem (I did some more experimenting in the sandbox). I seem to recall reading somewhere that a new line automatically closes a <TD> element, so the absence of </TD> tags in this case was probably ok. Indeed, in the sandbox, I took them out and the table was still alright. When I took the </TR>'s out, however, the old problem recurred, although in a different place! I'm still curious as to why the table worked as HTML directly in my browser, but not as wiki markup. Also, if the </TR>'s are necessary, why did the table work at all without them? These are rather technical questions, I don't expect you to beat your brains answering them, I'm just musing. -- Ong saluri ( talk) 01:30, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

thanks for your reply to what I'd posted on the Sotomayor talk page. I had understood a talk page to be just that: a place to discuss the article. Someone had deleted my words within minutes of my posting. Deleting is assuredly not discussing. I think I will go ahead and seek sources, as you suggest. Some things, such as whether language in the article is biased, cannot be sourced. I suppose I should create an account for this as well.

I am just informing you that I have changed a page you tagged ( Jackobillia) from being tagged for speedy deletion to being tagged for proposed deletion.

g'day Phantomsteve,
hope all is well with you. yes, i am responding regarding your message sir. first let me explain. as soon as i saw your message, i went berserk hahaha. so i went again to your help desk and mentioned my angst and pangs there. if you go to Help Desk, you can read my message there. someone told me that anyone can edit my work so i deleted your message in my article. am so sorry, very sorry i misunderstood everything until i clicked your userpage.
well, let me start. dya know that my article had been edited by a couple of editors in the past since i submitted my artcle to wikipedia. i followed all their messages. Originally, "the Transformation" was long but some editor removed them and footnoted it with (Number 1). i was saddened at the time but i respected that editor because he or she wanted it that way. My article had been edited for a couple of times and replied to all the messages there until they got what they want. my article has never been edited for quite sometime until "ukexpat" help me kindly in inserting the image or logo of my alma mater. i uploaded some images a couple of months ago and forgot all about it. i thought by uploading photos, they go automatically to my artcile but at the time i didnt know about your logo templates. it was ukexpat who inserted that logo for me. it's so nice of him. meantime, the other day i read in the internet news from the philippines that my notable alumnus by the name of Nelson Nario was moved from his post in the Isabela Province to Mindanao in the philippines. hence, i edited his update in a short sentence based from what i had read to update also my article with Wikipedia.
i have never entered anything in the history of my alma mater because i thought all had been resolved from the couple of editors that edited my work in the past. As ya know, i am too frightened to touch the history because it had been edited a couple of times in respect to the editors of wikipideia who helped me and were very helpful. what you have read there were purely edited by your fellow editors. even the references were fixed by your editors because i could not access the "reference page" and asked them for help in your Help Desk.
i dont live in the philippines anymore for some three decades now and everything that was written in my article are referenced and based on current information. it was purely research and from my recent contact with fellow alumni who are also based overseas. i am just also helping my alma mater lift its standard a bit. as you know, i went to a "public market" high school and i feel the need to share something to my poor ole school (tears). i was a pioneer student of the school and i was one of the creator of the school publication there. modesty aside, i am also the first managing editor of the school.
I can be contacted through ************ to discuss further the issues.
Thank for visiting my artcle and my personal regards to you.

I saw your followup questions - while I could post this there, I thought I'd just make a couple points here. You wondered why Colin isn't directly corresponding. Did you catch that he is 82? While my 90 year old father in law uses email, it isn't "natural" to him, and had he been in the same position (seeing something on the internet about him he didn't like), he would ask me. (In fact he walked in the door as I'm writing this and he confirmed. I am mildly concerned that the WP position is that anything can be in a bio if it can be confirmed. I know I need to address this at some bios project page, but I'd like to see us defer to the subjects wishes in the case of living persons, if the matter involves family fact not relating to notability. I see that these have been removed, but they show up on many websites in many locations - WP is understandably a source for many places, we need to make sure we exercise appropriate responsibility. I'm not really trying to debate you on this topic, I guess I'm just practicing. I was also disappointed to see so many unreferenced claims, some unverifiable, in a bio that has been around so long. I'm still new here, and wary of getting into BLP battles, but may have to wade in. I think we need better processes regarding unsourced claims - if nothing else, we should require a moindex tag on bios without references.-- SPhilbrick T 14:26, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi PhantomSteve, I've actually taken a read through your conversation with Sphilbrick (all very fascinating as a relatively new member to wikipedia), and I completely agree with the age issues that are causing me to be used as a proxy. I've spoken to Mr. Franklin again and he is still insistent on removing the article - I've tried to tell him that he was a notable figure in his field and the entry should be seen as a recognition not as a foul, however, it is his personal opinion. Thereby, could we start the process of emailing in the issue? I could ask him to send the email, he is still a fellow with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, so his email would be "@ieee.org". If that is not suitable, I could email you for him, I work at the Communications Research Centre Canada (where he did a lot of his work), it's a government research lab under Industry Canada so my email is "@crc.gc.ca".

Dear Phantomsteve, I knew I screwed up the tilde thing. I couldn't remember how many it was and I put too many, and after it was done I didn't know what to do. I assume wikipedia is using Hmtl or whatever it's called (I always thought it looked like heavy metal) and I don't know how to use it. Also I've never done anything with the little numbers in the text and the footnotes on the bottom. I am way out of my depth here, as far as formatting goes. There are a couple other authors I know of who have no entries in wikipedia and if I can struggle through, I will write articles for them, too.
I went back and refound my sources (ancestry.com is HARD to refind stuff on) and pasted the address at the top of the page onto my Marcia Martin page. I didn't go back to abe to find listings for the books. There were nearly 1400 books for sale that were by people named Marcia Martin and it took me hours to go through them. Oh wait, I could just search for each title. Shit. Well, I'll go do that now, that would be one abe listing for each book, is that what you want?

Thanks for your contributions on the World Games 2009 article Steve. Keep up the great job ! Arteyu ? Blame it on me ! 08:31, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
I am very confused by wikipedia. I'm just not a computer person. I left the message wondering how to move the article before I heard from you before. I figured it was something I had to eventually learn! And if no one ever looked at my page, they certainly would when it got moved out into the fast lane. Cause, you know, so many people are crying to know about Marcia Martin.
I did paste the address on the page where the actual photographs of census records are. The trouble with ancestry.com is that you have to be a paying member of it to use it. The US census records themselves are a matter of public record, easily accessed at research libraries in any good sized US city. I don't live in the US, though, so I'm a paying member of ancestry.com to get to them. I don't know if there's any free way to look at census records on the internet.
I got hints from one of the family trees, yes, but I looked at their sources of information (information on the trees are sourced) and went to the originals. I didn't use any information that I found only on a family tree. There really wasn't that much to begin with, and for the purposes of this, we don't care about the ancestry of the person. I am assuming that you don't pay for ancestry.com, and I'm not sure what records outsiders are allowed to see. I know that before I joined, I would occasionally get links to them, but if I tried to maneuver around the site, I was barred.
My information came from the actual census records. When I lived in the states I used to use Case Western Reserve library to see the census. The census is certainly a reliable source, as far as the limitations of the census taker, himself, and his handwriting, etc. Same thing with the draft registration cards. They are photographs of the actual cards. I don't know where else you can access them, I never used them in research before. Had no idea they were out there, and how helpful they could be.
I'm not sure what you want me to do here.

Hi PhamtomSteve, You said that I could come to you if I needed any help. I would like to take you up on that offer. I have a concern about the drawing of the test track for the uk television show Top Gear found here and here and the raw copy is here. The problem is that it is the old design, by memory they stopped using it in 2005 and changed to a longer track thus removing all times and starting the times all over again. I don't know wheather or not you have Google Earth or not but if you simply type in "top gear" in the google earth search it will direcct you straight to the current design of the test track. I have even gone to the trouble of uploading a screenshot for you here. As you can see for yourself is is much different than the one you guys are currently using. So that's my concern if you don't want anything to do with this can you please direct me to someone who will help out on this matter.-- Zthatin ( talk) 16:20, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I'm the one who started the above article. It's pretty new so citations are sparse - it's mostly a translation from Polish wikipedia. The Pietrzak reference I added is pretty exhaustive although it doesn't have much on early life of the guy. The other ref which I just added has a lot less. I have not been able to find any English language sources (and believe me, I've looked) - however, both the Polish language sources are reliable. radek ( talk) 16:34, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
I noticed you have been doing some of these. As you may know SmackBot dates many of these every day. However there are always some it can't get out of the undated categories - for various reasons including subst'ing of templates, really bad attempts to use some kind of date template within the template, addition of categories manually etc. Keeping up with these exceptions is a good way to improve the bot, but I often fall behind. If I set up a list of current problem pages would you be interested in looking at some of them? Rich Farmbrough, 17:36, 3 August 2009 (UTC).

Yeah, I've been a little busy myself lately. As far as a 'reliable' source goes, I fear that I am out of luck. The Washington Post or similar periodicals wouldn't run a story on this type of event, and I'm unsure where to proceed. I guess that this may end up being one of the articles that 'isn't noteworthy enough' for wikipedia. Wrestlemania is basically the same thing, but for professional wrestling, and most of the 'sources' are from the wwe website, but there's no problem having an article about that, *sigh*. Maybe one day EVO will grow, and I'll update my article as best I can, but until then I think I'm out of luck.

The article now includes references that document the vandalism as well as rewriting or deleting where I couldn't quickly find a reference. As a former traveller on that rail line I can certainly remember the times the station showed signs of fresh vandalism (often scorch marks) or the time the train I was in was hit by a stone thown by a vandal (anecdotal evidence suggests this is common). However, none of that satisifies WP:RS Hopefully the recent edits will remove the NPOV problems. Autarch ( talk) 17:36, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Phantomsteve,
We've had only a few exchanges, but it's clear that you are an authoritative editor to be trusted. For this reason I would like to propose a rather unconventional opportunity, which, given its last minute nature, you may not be likely to be interested in, let alone respond to - but hey, I'm going to give it a shot anyway.
Long story short: as previously introduced, I'm a PR consultant for Burson-Marsteller - a rather large global PR consultancy - and was recently charged with the task of developing the digital capabilities for our Singapore office. Tomorrow, I'm going to be giving an introductory, lunch-hour session on the nature of Wikipedia, the do's and don't's and everything else I've determined as critical information that my colleagues should be aware of IF and when a client say's to them "I want to have a Wikipedia article, can you advise".
On that note, I'm wondering if you would be AT ALL interested in taking 10-15 min out of you day to join our very casual introductory session and answer any of our outstanding questions...concerns etc. You'd be most welcome to listen in on the whole thing of course...which will approximately run for about 45 min. If you chose to do so, I, the moderator would welcome you jumping in at any given time to contribute, contest, applaud...whatever you felt appropriate.
I'm in Singapore which is GMT+7 meaning that as I write this it's 8:30 pm on THURSDAY. If you are anywhere in the US...let's say New York, it's would be exactly 8:30 am THURSDAY MORNING for example. SO, yes, there's a big time diff., and I would be giving this session at 12pm Friday my time...whatever that translates into in your time, it's likely going to be evening on Wednesday.
I know this is a shot in the dark, but I would very very much welcome senior input such as yours if you at all interested.
I would propose that we do this via Skype...but there doesn't have to be any image on your end if you're not keen. Of course, we'd have our camera open so you could see us :)
My name again, is Tanya van Soest and I'm found under *********** on skype...here of course...or via ***************@********* should you wish to converse off Wikipedia.
In the event that you cannot, or do not want to have anything to do with this, and you think you may know of another editor who might be interested, I'd welcome the suggestion.
Thank you in advance, for at the very least, consideration of this request.
P.S Would like a talkback response please.

hello! (many apologies in advance for my lack of capitalisation; the best shift key on my keyboard is broken.) so, i'm a new wikipedian (and i want to sincerely contribute as best i can), although i am not completely stupid when it comes to editing. today, i noticed that the "Dan Brown (YouTube)" article was messed up in a certain area. a chart on the page that should contain 25 links was all disjointed and the text format was such that it didn't form a chart at all. i know quite a lot about what needs to go in the chart, so i decided to fix it. i learned how to construct a chart and set to tidying the article up.
to cut a long story short: when i edited in the 25 necessary links to Dan Brown's youtube videos (which is the whole purpose of the chart in the first place), i got a message saying that, due to so many external links, my changes had been removed, because i could be a spammer or something - which i completely understand is a safety precaution. but it wasn't just my links that got removed, it was ALL my past changes that disappeared - even ones that were just grammatical improvements and updates.
needless to say, i was discontented. not angry at all, but a bit thrown-off course. i don't want to tarnish my potential to be a good editor; i want to be mildly confident when editing articles, and i don't want to shy away from editing, however this has really put me off quite a lot. every time i get a future message, i don't want to be worried that i've done something wrong. the last thing i want is to ruin wikipedia or break the rules!
but anyway, i really thought that the links would not get removed - there are many other links to Dan's videos that are in his article, and this was my first time putting links into an article. i have read and examined the 'external links guidelines' and i believe that my links conform to wikipedia's policies - they don't link to malware, they don't break copyright, they don't advertise etc. but all the same, they got (automatically) removed. i don't want to just re-edit the links onto the page, because they might get removed again. i want to make sure that my edit will be legitimate. basically, i wonder, should i edit my links back in? or should i just leave it and hope someone else tidies up the page?
i hope i haven't confused you, i do tend to oversimplify often. thank you for your time! Katabee ( talk) 18:41, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello PhantomSteve, thanks for your answer. As you say , the discussion page of the article has no trace of "Shiver of recognition"'s explanations. I don't think it is worth it to write to "Shiver...", since his personal page and discussion page are empty : it looks like he appeared on 2009, January 8th, during the night, in the middle of a dog-fight over the article "Bacon", and did'nt show up until now.... I know the film deals with a lot of social important topics : American-Mexican people in USA, unwed teen pregnancy, immigration, homosexuality, competition for housing, culture clash etc...etc..., but it is what makes the film interesting, and I think I wrote with neutrality about these issues, and after viewing 3 times the movie. As I said, I know and love the latino culture - and about homosexuality, I have several gay people among my friends, and am fully tolerant about their way of life. For me "Shiver"s reverts are only of the vandalistic type. How could I make the article come back to its former version ? .

Hi Phantomsteve. I have updated the A.D.A.M., Inc. wikipedia entry to include citations where I could, and deleted additional text that may have been construed as advertising. It is very important to have an up-to-date and complete Wikipedia entry, as (as you know) the Wikipedia entry shows up on the first page of the search results. Please could you let me know if the edits I have made are not sufficient and if more are required? It is my understanding that wikipedia authors and editors have worked to keep the articles factual by editing, and therefore I do not want to create a situation where the entire article needs to be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericarenzo ( talk • contribs) 18:56, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

A wiki is any website using wiki software; there are thousands of them. I just want to make sure that no newbs are confused. You can abbreviate it as WP if you don't want to type the whole word (I usually do that, as I'm pretty lazy). For more information, check out WP:Don't abbreviate Wikipedia as Wiki.

Hi Phantomsteve,
I am having a hell of a time creating a page for Jaseng Hospital of Oriental Medicine. I'm not attempting to promote it just state the facts about what it is, what it does, address etc, etc. Initially I used the Wooridul Spine Hospital as an example to follow but was quickly red flagged and blocked for lack of citation. I'm not wanting to get anyone in trouble but the Wooridul article does not have a single reference, which is why mine was lacking. I understand my mishap however unintentional it may have been.
In learning my errors, I gathered numerous online sources to verify information, but am struggling to upload a thumbnail photo, for example for I am unsure of the liscensing of the photo, even though I am permitted to use it by the chairman of the Hospital. I am also struggling to understand how to put in cited references and footnotes. I don't understand the codes. I have been looking at the Mount Sinai Hospital Site as an example now. I am a beginner at using Wikipedia for these purposes, so any constructive help would be greatly appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhowsie ( talk • contribs) 06:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

I thought I was being gentle by using a softblock and the softerblock template message, rather than a spamusername block (which would have been technically justified IMO) on this COI s.p.a.! Almost all spammers for non-profits feel that they are not really promoting, just "educating the public".

Hello Phantomsteve
Thank you for your help and advice regarding the Task Force page I created last week. I have one technical question. Some of the internal links I would like to use in the article lead to empty spaces - pages that have not yet been written. I'd like to write these pages too, and think they are worthwhile in their own right (not only because of the Holocaust Task Force). Is there any problem with me doing that?

then a notice will be shown explaining that the article is being worked on - it won't necessarily prevent other editors nominating it for deletion, but it may stop any 'speedy deletion' nomninations - as long as the article is being worked on! Also, near the bottom of the page, make sure that you use the tag {{stub}}
, which will show that the article is a stub-article rather than a completed one.Thank you for very useful advice! One other question - I have made a number of edits (I hope improvements)to the article, adding references and a criticism section. Would it be possible for you to take a look and, if you agree, remove the tags regarding lack of references, inappropriate tone etc. I hope I have managed to address these issues now. -- Kameyer ( talk) 10:40, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Ok - thank you for taking a look although you're so busy!

I understand that this is an issue you have to be weary of, but is there anything I can do to resolve the problem? In relation to wiki links, I have now wikified the article as much as I can, with some links still going to empty pages - I will do more research on these and see if they are worth writing. The only issue that really still confuses me is tone - I'm not sure how the article could be more neutral, and as far as I can see it complies to the guidelines (no jargon, only 3rd person etc).

Thank you for telling me about the admin, i think you should apply to become an administrator. Right now im in the process of becoming a rollback user, im trying to find a way to help wikipedia before im becoming a wiki admin.
P.S.- How did you make your signature colorful like that????????

Per your accepted request, I have added rollback rights to your account. Ensure you only use rollback correctly, ie its intended usage of reverting vandalism only. For information on rollback see: Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback in the future, just let me or any admin know. Cheers.

The reason I made mention of needing some indication of humorous pages is that I've only seen one example — when searching for information on Bibliographies, guessing that WP:BIBLIO might be relevant, clicking on it and seeing this page, without the identifier that it is a Bibliomaniac15 creation. I'm happy to hear there is a rule, but it wasn't followed in that instance. Perhaps I'm a little irked because I thought I was reporting vandalism - I was admonished for not realizing it was an attempt at humor, and now that it has been reverted, it clearly was vandalism. Oh well, I'll live.-- SPhilbrick T 18:56, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Space has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive.

Steve - you didn't just revert the sources though. You reverted entire sections. You could easily have removed the individual source instead. From Saturday more sources will be available because the website in question will officially launch.
I do beg to differ though - Blogs can be a great and reliable source, especially if, like the source I used, it is a direct copy of a press release. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexanderryland ( talk • contribs) 19:27, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
There's been coverage in the Scotsman and on the BBC, both of which are noted as sources on the page. The youtube video was an attempt to upload the audio file of coverage on BBC Radio - I couldn't get it to upload directly to wikipedia. If there is a way of doing this (I only have it in wma format), I'd appreciate a hand. It was on a news bulletin, so it's not permanently in iPlayer or anything like that. —Preceding

Hi, I am writing from Thurman White Middle School in Nevada, where I am visiting today. I saw the warning you issued to this IP (and earlier ones).

My response: I prefer to leave message on your talk page. What is the data you have to say, it is vandalize. Hyderabad Police is truly committing crime, this is based major news paper reports and conducted polls too on Orkut (23 of 26 respondents felt the same). Am reflecting public opinion.
AP Police has 75,000 head count, every day one or other person commits crime publicly and it comes in news papers too. You can visit blog http://apstatepoliceweekly.wordpress.com/ for more information.

Hello. I work in the Columbus Symphony Orchestra's administrative offices in the Marketing Department. We are currently changing the name of the symphony to "Columbus Symphony" and dropping the "Orchestra." Could you possibly change the title of the page to reflect this new change?
We will be posting an updated history, information section, etc., once it has been looked over within the department.
Thank you.

Hello. Thank you for your reply. We are in the process of converting from the "Columbus Symphony Orchestra" to the "Columbus Symphony." Currently, the Columbus Symphony is at the start of its classical season, and the name change is a gradual process, as it is not currently a top priority. Current marketing and print materials for the 2009-2010 concert season DO reflect this change, however, even though it is not evidenced on the website, except by the logo. As to your concern regarding a conflict of interest with the Columbus Symphony, I am not a paid employee of the symphony, but rather an unpaid intern, with a background in music performance, not editing, or arts administration. Thus, I do not feel that a conflict of interest is present. I will be in touch once we are able to get the ball rolling on the name change. Once it is complete on the official Columbus Symphony website, I will contact you again and hopefully get the ball rolling on the name change process.
Thank you.

If you find a book, magazine, newspaper article, etc that you want to use as a reference, just type one of the following after the information in the article which the reference is about:
<ref>''Title of article'',author of article, (Title of newspaper/magazine, date of article, page(s), column(s))</ref>
<ref>''Title of book'', author of book, (publisher, date of publication, page(s))</ref>
<ref>[http://web-page-address ''Title of webpage''], author of page, date of page's creation, website name</ref>
For example:
<ref>''An article in a well-known newspaper'', John E. Beegood, (The New York Times, 1 August 1987, page 6 col 2)</ref>
<ref>''How do I create references?'', Met-al Icca, (Heinemann Publishing, 1964, pp. 16-17)</ref>
<ref>[http://www.a-reputable-website.org/a_useful_page.html ''How to Create Useful References''], PhantomSteve, 12 March 1999, a-reputable-website.org</ref>
Then at the bottom of the page, make sure you have the following two lines:
==References==
<references/>
-or- {{reflist}}
This would generate (for the above examples):
References
With basic references like this in place, more experienced editors can tidy them up! The hard bit can be finding references!
Please make sure you read the guideline Reliable Sources which details the kind of sources Wikipedia prefers to use.
If you have any questions, just ask me! Regards, -- PhantomSteve ( Contact Me, My Contribs) 14:26, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi. This edit to Gold is certainly not vandalism, so it shouldn't have been reverted with Huggle, meaning without a descriptive edit summary. I have reverted to the IP's version as the clarification is useful if you read the paragraph (it is not obvious to lay persons that it is the only gold isotope, not the only isotope at all, that decays in that manner). If you have another reason to remove the insertion of the word gold in that sentence, you certainly may remove it, but please explain why. Thank you. The Seeker 4 Talk 15:43, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. Would you pls take a look at this article? There's a user who first edited via IP, and then even though you reverted his edit, the IP edits continued vandalising the page. Few hours later a new user appeared, & continued vandalising the page adding unsourced material.

Greetings Phantomsteve. As you left two warning templates over at the user's talk page, warnings which were worded in such a way as to suggest you are an admin., I just popped in here to request you to block User talk:87.36.4.7. Seeing that that is not the case, am now slightly concerned that such strongly worded warnings could be interpreted as "empty" and have the effect of challenging users intent on vandalising articles to seeing how quickly they will get blocked.

I'm going to translate the whole article (if no-one else happens to step in to help), and I'm willing to translate the possible image captions from Finnish, too. I'm not any expert on the exact subject of this article, but using my common knowledge. The final English text needs naturally to be checked by someone (also the comments in.. hmm, "code"!), but I hope my contribution is worth of smth.
I could master English much better, but I'm confident that some native speaker (you?) is able to make it to a nice article :-).

Although it's userfied and in some vague sense more "mine" than a normal article, please feel free to work on it should you have the time/inclination. Porn-related topics are difficult to write about on WP; on the one hand, it seems easy enough for a porn starlet to meet the notability criteria (it's not like the movies take a long time to produce ;-), yet it's hard to write proper articles for stuff that you "know" to be important based on experience. Should Mr Zimmerman's article ever make it back into the fold, maybe I'll try "Meriday in the Morning" next; easily the most famous, most widely disseminated, ASCII porn ever made, but there's not a lot to say about it in a referenced article. Anyway, thanks for the note and the help! Matt Deres ( talk) 00:44, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Your information helped me a great deal.. this is not exactly a cookie cutter thing to do is it? LOL I'm not computer illiterate (actually have my degree many many many moons ago) but have never worked with this Wiki style, etc.
I'm trying to get a few things gathered to start the bio for him, see what he thinks, get facts, etc. & once I do that perhaps I could bug you again for how to get it all "posted" and come up when 'searched'? But that will be a while! LOL
Thanks again.. I'm definitely learning!

I've contacted the closing admins and movers of the AFDs in question (or those who are still active). It's actually common for AFDs to be deleted if they are about BLPs since the AFD's often contain negative comments which might be damaging or hurtful in real life. Usually they are simply deleted by a senior admin as a courtesy deletion. Senatrix ( talk) 17:23, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello Phantomsteve,
Hope you are doing well. We have been contributing to wikipedia with reliable information for the past year. Nia Lyte is a new internet TV Talk Show host and one of the top web talk show hosts. How ever per her request she will like to delete her name from Wikipedia inmediately for two reasons:
1. The fact to question in public that her information is not true or false is an embarassement for her fan web site of 500,000 viewers. She does not have press agents at this time so everything is in the internet. She has a career as a host and the information published about her is true you can see this in her show. Live Video or Live Universe is owned by Brad Greenspan here s the proof for this, perhaps the team in Wikepedia did not do the proper research on internet hosts. She is the co-Founder of Shin Koyamada Foundation is in the official web site and she helps a lot of children around the world and raises money for different causes. How ever this deletion process and questioning of Nia's information can potentially damage her image and causes. For this reason we as to please delete ASAP this page and article of deletion until we have more press on her, magazine interviews. Maybe was too soon to add her to Wikepedia. But she is indeed a respectable and amazing human being and web talk show host.
Here are some links and articles for you to see that Live Universe/Live Video is founded and CEO by Brad Greenspan: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/02/02/was-anyone-still-in-doubt-over-liveuniverses-demise/ http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/02/liveuniverse-an.html
Here is the link to her internet show wee it says comments from her fans and you can see the proof there is over 500,000 audience in this internet show.
http://www.livevideo.com/liveshow/InternationalBeauty
You can also see in the home page she is always in the top 5 web shows every day.
2. It is very damaging to imply she did not tell the truth about her education as she did intern in the US Congress and published her first book at age 19. How ever all the press for this is in newspaper articles collected as proof.
So please understand why we will like to delete this page and she wants it delete it right away. People and fans google her name and then in wikepedia it appears is not true what she is saying when it is true. Also accusing of vandalism is a mayor offense knowing that all that we publish is correct if you see the track record.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Shinca ( talk • contribs) 18:09, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello Phantomsteve,
Hope you are doing Well. I am contacting you regarding Wikipedia/Nia Lyte. Our company has been adding constructive material and articles to Wikipedia with verifiable information for the past year like for example Shin Koyamada, Paul Heller you can verify this. I am a new internet host with a show over 500,000 viewers and co-founder of the Shin Koyamada Foundation. The team decided to add me to Wikipedia but I will like to be removed ASAP for 2 reasons:
To imply in public in front of my fans, business clients that my information is not true is not right and is not good for my career or image. The information is true but there is not enough press on me or press releases. But you can see that have a show with over half a million viewers and also that Live Universe is indeed founded and CEO Brad Greenspan: you can also see I am the Co-Founder of The Shin Koyamada Foundation and I am a top internet host. All these was in question in public and my fans and business clients started to ask me what was happening.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/02/liveuniverse-an.html
http://www.livevideo.com/liveshow/InternationalBeauty Www.nialyte.com < http://Www.nialyte.com>
To verify this you can go to the most viewed shows under entertainment, you saw the most viewed shows under people, they have different categories you need to click entertainment and you see my show there. To verify the views of my live show not videos as you saw you can go to my liveshow page and see under the archives there is 519,268 viewers so far. I was hired by Live Video to host a professional talk show to launch the web site how ever yes anyone can create shows or videos there but not everyone is a feature show and my show is. Perhaps we should wait to be in Wikipedia once there is more press releases and my TV Talk Show goes on air.
www.shinca.net
2. I deal in our company Shinca Productions in partnership with Paul Heller ( Producer of Enter the Dragon) & movie star Shin Koyamada ( The Last Samurai) also verifiable with high profile actors and business men. Also we do a lot of events with children and helping them through our foundation so to have this in wikipedia is unacceptable. Yes I did intern for the US Congress and yes I donate 15,000 books we have all this documented on news papers clips but again there is not enough press or reliable sources like you mentioned. And no is not vandalism either so please remove this from Wikipedia as is not right. I am a respectable career woman and negative comments or press can hinder my career and enterprises as well as those of my business partners. Perhaps was too soon to add me to Wikipedia.
http://koyamada.org/en/who/staff.html
I am sure you may have had people who did altered the truth but not our team so I think your team made a mistake on this one and that is ok. We will wait until there is more press releases and more fame in order to be in Wikipedia. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or my lawyers. I will like my name deleted from Wikipedia and any banners that this article is considered for deletion for truth misconception by Monday please. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Thanks for your interest and reply (21th of oct.) on the help page. Since you will be away for a week, I will prefer to talk on this page. You state that you incline to agree with Tajik’s reasoning to revert my name edits , assuming that there is no reliable source. I assure you that there is no source problem. The problem is that Tajik seems to wrap all medieval Middle East cultural history into Persian history. While a great deal had been contributed by Persians, the Middle East history is not solely a Persian history. Although, he has reverted a number of my edits, the following are especially important. (as they appear in Wiki) : Mahmud al-Kashgari and Ali-Shir_Nava’i. You can check those articles. Taking the risk of being rather boring, I’ll summerize why these names should also be shown in Turkish.
Mahmud al-Kashgari, ( Turkish: Kaşgarlı Mahmut) He was a Turk and was writing in Turkish. In 11th century he wrote the first Turkish Arabic dictionary claiming Turkish to be as powerful of Arabic.
Ali-Shir Nava'i: ( Turkish: Ali Şir Nevai) He was a Turkish poet of 15th century and was writing mostly in Turkish. (But he was living in Afganistan) Barry Hoberman calls him Caucer of the Turks. [1] He is studied in Turkey in secondary schools as one of the forerunners of Turkish literature.
I don’t try to change the names of the articles. I only want to add the Turkish names in parentesis by the template ( Turkish: ...) I have the right to do so. But Tajik always reverts the editions an act which I feel is nothing but a loss of energy both for me and Tajik himself. Nedim Ardoğa ( talk) 12:27, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

I really appreciate your feedback on LinkedNow's article :) The irony is that I sincerely understand your motivation and enjoy working with energetic and passionate editors like yourself. Please also understand my frustration. One editor said that it maybe ok to keep the article 3 months ago, and now this issue is re-opened, again. What makes it worse is that I strongly feel that the article 'somewhat' meets the definition of notability.
Yet, our argument seems to span around these three issues: a) how recent is the news, b) how many unique sources, or c) how useful the site's business is. All, except 2 points seem to be irrelevant to the discussion of the notability. In fact, wikipedia does not discuss a + b anywhwere. However, it provides us with some general guidance for (c). Multiple as if "having or involving or consisting of more than one entity or individual"
Once again, Phantomsteve, thank you for your help and I am looking forward to working with you again :)

Hello,
I have had to modify the template to a ifequal statement, similar to the episodelist subliust workings. however i think because it has a table in it with {| it is causing confussing to the if statement, if there anyway to get it to disregard the code and treat it like characters?

Hi, Im new to wikipedia and am interested in editing a sentence in an existing article. I had a go at the sandbox, though doesn't help much. When I went to edit the page, a blank box appeared which scared me from doing anything, as i wasn't sure if i would wipe out the original article??? I assumed that editing would have brought up the original article and i would edit/replace the sentence in question with the correct information. btw i don't know what a talk page means though it feels as if i have read pages and pages of info re editing and guidelines, i hope this makes sense and i sign off properly, kind regards juliette Juliette Rose ( talk) 13:27, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Incidently, I should point out that the SBS logo (as are all armed forces logos) is British Crown Copyright - the copyright is legally owned by HMSO and the MoD on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen. If you belong to one of these two organisations, then you need to follow the "Owner" advice I gave you above - if you are the designed of the logo, then you will know that you released the design to Crown Copyright. -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 20:46, 13 November 2009 (UTC

Wayne Cogswell aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie Wechseln zu: Navigation, Suche Wayne Cogswell (* 12. September 1937) ist ein US-amerikanischer Rockabilly- und Rock-’n’-Roll-Musiker sowie Songschreiber. Cogswell schrieb Ende der 1950er- und Anfang der 1960er-Jahre Hits für Stars wie Chet Atkins, Skeeter Davis und Floyd Cramer.
Leben [Bearbeiten]
1954 zog Wayne Cogswell, der damals bereits verheiratet war und fünf Kinder hatte, nach Memphis, Tennessee, auf der Suche nach Jobs als Musiker. Zwischenzeitlich hatte er den Bühnennamen „Wayne Powers“ angenommen. In Memphis arbeitete Cogswell zunächst als Verkäufer von Unterdruckreinigern und traf im selben Jahr noch Ray Harris, der gerade auf der Suche nach einem Gitarristen war. Cogswell schloss sich Harris‘ Band an und in den nächsten vier Jahren spielten die beiden zusammen. Mit Harris nahm Cogswell bei Sun Records in Memphis auf und war Co-Autor mehrerer Songs von Harris (Come On Little Mama, Where’d You Stay Last Nite, Foolish Heart).
Als Ray Harris Sun 1958 verließ und das Label Hi Records gründete, blieb Cogswell bei Sun. Er bekam nun die Gelegenheit, selbst für Sun ein paar Songs einzuspielen, von denen My Love Song und Point of View unter seinem Künstlernamen „Wayne Powers“ bei Suns Sublabel Phillips International veröffentlicht wurden. Es sollten jedoch seine einzigen Aufnahmen für Sun bleiben. Stattdessen arbeitete Cogswell für Sun als Studiomusiker und neben Jack Clement und Bill Justis als weitere „rechte Hand“ für Sam Phillips, den Besitzer des Labels. Zu seinen erwähnenswerten Arbeiten zählt die Betreuung von Mikki Milans Session, während der Milan Somehow Without You einspielte.
Anfang der 1960er-Jahre begann Cogswell sich mehr auf das Schreiben von Songs zu konzentrieren. Für Chet Atkins schrieb er die Hits Teensville, The Slop und Rainbows End sowie Skeeter Davis‘ Someday Someday. 1964 hatte Cogswell in kommerzieller Hinsicht seinen größten Erfolg. Al Hirt machte den mit Ray Peterson geschriebenen Song Night Theme zu einem Hit, der auch von vielen anderen Künstlern gecovert wurde. Cogswell nahm den Song selbst auch mit Peterson unter dem Pseudonym The Mark Two auf seinem eigenen Label WYE Records und 1967 bei Roulette Records auf. Er komponierte Songs auch als Wayne Powers und als Winston Cogswill.
In der Gegenwart tritt Cogswell immer noch auf.

Thanks for the reference updates! The Singapore International Energy Week concluded last week with many energy experts discussing and propelling the drive for sustainable energy.
As such, could we trouble you to edit "is taking place" to "took place" in the following line? 2009: "Clean Energy: Sustainable Solutions for Urban Cities" Singapore International Energy Week 2009 is taking place from 16 - 20 November at the Shangri-la Hotel in Singapore.
Additionally, there has been more media coverage on the event. You could consider the following for the references:

Actually this sort of stuff was determined to be deletable a while back (where if I recall correctly, I did not feel them as evil as others did) -- I generally weigh in where I feel the reasons so far given on a topic are insufficient for the result sought by those already posting. With the mass deletion of secret pages in the past, it is difficult for me to expect a different result now. Collect ( talk) 00:31, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

On November 13, 2009 and again no November 20, 2009, I submitted a copy of the photograph and a copy of the assignment of copyright to Wikipedia via the e-mail photosubmission@wikimedia.org. I have not heard back yet regarding my request to have the photo displayed on Dr. Lin's and Dr. Hymers' website. Can you assist me in this regard?

Hello Phantomsteve, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Kind of Blue (TQ album) - a page you tagged - because: A9 doesn't apply as there is an article for the artist ;o) Needs to be AfDed or PRODded. WP:HAMMER will almost certainly apply. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know.

Hi Phantomsteve - thanks for your help on my watchlist issue. However, I have tried deleting them from my watchlist several times in the ways you suggest, and they just re-appear again. I think it may be some kind of virus. Also, they are deleted pages (I have never visited or added the pages to my watchlist before). The pages are called HÁGGER? and H A G G Ë R ? ? . I am concerned because I recently read a page about an anti-social, disruptive editor called Grawp, who apparently uses these names to create sock-puppet accounts. Is there anyone who can look into this? Thanks. Pexise ( talk) 17:56, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Phantomsteve!
Thanks for reviewing my page. I am still learning Wikipedia (I'm just starting to grasp all the mechanisms that make it work so great).
The OpenCTM page was marked for deletion, and indeed, it was written by the author of the software, and so it is a bit difficult to keep a neutral perspective, but I try my best.
The reason that it was created by me alone, and not someone else, is probably that OpenCTM is quite new. However, I have received much feedback and questions through various channels (mail, forums, interviews etc), so I thought that a Wikipedia page would be appropriate.
I have made some updates to the page (and I intend to continue to do so) - do you feel that the current version is more adequate? I also intend to add sections about the software library, the tools and the compression algorithm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcus256 ( talk • contribs) 22:44, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Dear Phantom Steve:
I really appreciate your guidance. Thank you for all your direction. I think I may have placed the references concerning 3rd party interviews with newsources in the wrong section. Your comment about the sparse References section made me realise I should shift those sources where they rightly belong as references! (Unless you think they should stay right where they are.)
Beyond the interviews, there are other sites that mention or note Aase as an authroity in social media use in health care. I'll add some of those as well. After I perform these tasks, I'll likely ask for your review again.

Dear Phantomsteve,
I saw a message left on this users page about a IRC Chat, while I wasn't privy to the chat, be aware that there has been meatpuppet activity going back a few years with DoM. The coordinated planting of information by this organization is pretty well documented and was the subject one one very nasty arbitration decision. It surprises me a bit this has come back given the website is dead and the organization seem to have disapated. The last coordinated attack has been quite a long time ago, but it certainly looks like they could be gearing up for another one if their pattern of behavior is similar to the past. Feel free to have a look at the archieves of the DoM page if you want more info. I am not as active in Wikipedia as I was was and don't believe in the cause precisely because of this bs, but I do drop by from time to time. Davidpdx ( talk) 11:44, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

I think, therefore, that the information more properly belongs at the page Facepalm (making it a stub article rather than a redirect), and not on a page devoted to "culture specific gestures that can be used as replacement for words". I suggest that you (and not I) should move the information in order to preserve attribution. Thanks again, Cnilep ( talk) 15:45, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
Nice one. Thanks again. Cnilep ( talk) 16:18, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Why did you leave the welcome to wikipedia message on my talk page? It had a little flash animation, too in which the word "welcome" appeared in numerous ways. Daniel Christensen ( talk) 08:23, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the review. Just in case you were wondering, I was only planning to provide a Google Voice number =D. In regards to reviewing other editors, I'll definitely do that once I have more free time on my hands. Right now I'm in the process of recreating WP:ABUSE with a couple other people, which is taking up a lot of my Wikipedia time. Thanks for the review and happy holidays!

Hi Steve, I was getting help from Chzz but I see he is now unavailable. Chzz helped me create this page Centres_Against_Sexual_Assault but now it's got a note saying "This article needs additional citations for verification." I have lots of links eg to Victoria police, Department of Health etc all citing the CASAs but Chzz rejected these at the time of creating the page as he said they weren't reliable sources (I think that was the term he used). He wanted citations in newspapers etc which are harder to come by, hence the one used. I am unsure how to resolve this and what to add to the page to make it conform. Could you please help me or point me to someone who can? Thank you Peto Australis ( talk) 23:27, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi PhantomSteve:
I was taking a look at a couple of social media bio pages in comparison to the one I drafted on Lee Aase to see if I've hit the right tone. The two I referenced were Stowe Boyd ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stowe_Boyd) and Guy Kawasaki ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Kawasaki). I think I've gotten close, but I'd like to hear your opinion as an experienced Wiki editor. Thanks for your input.
Happy holidays!

Hey, thanks for the review. I am on this late still, I just gave 2100hrs to be an estimate. I was wondering how you intended for me to help in WP:AN/ WP:ANI/ WP:RFA edits. I don't get that. The unspecified amount of time is only till about the weekend, I'm just not sure what day I am going to get back. Anyway, what do you think is a good time to start thinking about RfA, appox. like how many months? Again thanks. Replies after I get back. -- MWOAP ( talk) 03:42, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Community de-adminship/Draft RfC re: a 'Motion to close', which would dissolve Cda as a proposal. The motion includes an !vote. You have previously commented at this page. Jusdafax 05:01, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed that you added {{ relist}} to a number of discussions here and here, but it does not appear that you completed the relisting by re-opening the discussion on today's daily log page. I don't know if you are saving to a text editor and waiting to relist them all at once, but I wanted to be sure that you were aware of the second step to relisting.
Also, a few of the discussions (e.g., Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2009 December 16#Template:Always Sunny) do not appear to need relisting... Although only one other editor has commented, most deletion discussion processed do not require a quorum in order for a discussion to be closed. – BLACK FALCON ( TALK) 22:10, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
I noticed you relisted some discussions on Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 December 16 for the second time (that is a third week). That is a little unusual. It may be better to close the discussions as no consensus in such a case. This is my personal opinion, I do not know if there is any guidelines about this, but I wouldn't mind discussing it with others on Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion.

Steve you can now see that both ryulong and treasurtytag have vandalized the page NUMEROUS times and then tried to cover it up. They have also sent to other mods that I did it. I have reported this. If I get banned for this there will be hell to pay and I guarantee ryulong and treasurytag will not be on this site anymore. Now steve they have vandalized numerous times the diffs I have posted against Coffee. I repeat, they have vandailized numerous times diffs I posted against Coffee. They then reported to another mod that I did it and they have deleted this off the history SEVERAL times. I already told an admin about it. You better do your job or I will raise serious hell over this and admin WILL be removed. Wiki Greek Basketball ( talk) 14:23, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. Would you mind stopping to use
,
etc. when commenting in an RfX? The community has long ago decided against such images in discussions (per
Voting is evil and see related TFD at
Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/Deleted/June_2005#Template:Support_and_Template:Object_and_Template:Oppose) because they are increase page load times, make discussions seem like a vote, may distract from the actual comment itself and are generally adding nothing to the page except more text and a nice looking image that no one really needs. Unless you think your comments need to stand out amongst others, there is no reason to make them in such a way. Regards

Dear Phantomsteve, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind vote on my request for adminship which failed with a final result of (40/19/12).
Thank you for your participation in my RfA which I withdrew after concerns of my knowledge of policy. Special thanks are owed to Coffee, who defended me throughout and whom I cannot thank enough for the nomination; to 2over0 for being supportive and helpful; to A Stop at Willoughby for the thorough, thoughtful and articulate support rationale; to IP69.226.103.13 for maintaining composure and for a pleasant interaction on my talk page and, last but not least, to Juliancolton who was good enough to close the RfA at my request and, frankly, because an editor whom I respect so much found the time to support me! If the need for more admins at the main page is still apparent in a few months, I may try again. Thank you all for a relatively drama-free RfA and for providing me with much material from which to learn from my mistakes. You're all welcome to drop by my talk page any time. God save the Queen Wiki!

Wanted to thank you for finishing the sorting and making sure the thing was in proper form [10], and I'll thank TreasuryTag as well for catching it orignally. I'm going to AGF on it too since I've always seen MF as obviously knowledgeable on discussion rules there's no reason at all to think they removed my comment in pure spite. I consider mine a reasonable comment on my part since the !vote given is a very IAR-style reason to oppose that may well have never previously been used at that high a level of discussion and I wanted to express my respect for the !vote compared to my original confusion. If inquiring about IAR-style opposes in a tight discussion is a problem, I'd rather MF have taken it up with me. No end harm done, and again my thanks.
...Being RCP-style reverted at an RfB discussion gave me my laugh for the day, at least. Cheers~ ♪ daTheisen (talk) 12:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi Phantom, I think my IP address was blocked by WIKI. I post this question by using other IP address. Could you check this range of IP: 202.79.27.X which I can not edit or post any article in wikipedia at all.
Thanks a lot for your kind response.
