I began to go through your contribs like I said I would, and one thing quickly came to my eye (besides the CSDs). It was the revert of this request for help and this "editing test" warning. It appears that we have a BLP who is being disparaged on Wikipedia and was trying to get help to stop it. Please understand, Wikipedia can have real-life consequences and do damage to living people who are subjects of articles. In a Google search for his name, 2 of the top 6 hits are to Wikipedia, so, people looking for him are very likely to see the articles. Anytime a BLP requests help like that, we should do our best to, not accuse them of testing (which he obviously wasn't doing). If you look at Thejpmshow 's contribs, it's pretty obvious that User:Ron Travolta has a point. I'd encourage you not to turn away someone requesting help, especially in cases like that.

I think the anon edit you reverted as vandalism on that page was made by User:IP69.226.103.13 himself. He seems to have decided to return to editing by IP. Cheers, Crafty ( talk) 06:51, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Hey, it's not vandalism. The article has been submitted for creation and is posted at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chaetopterus where it is being worked on. Go ahead and move it to mainspace, that would be most useful. -- 69.225.9.98 ( talk) 06:52, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
You tagged this as "patent nonsense" which it was not. Bad formatting and poor writing do not make an article nonsense. Looking through your talk archives it is clear this is an ongoing problem. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion carefully if you plan to continue tagging articles. Beeblebrox ( talk) 08:33, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
The article isn't vandalism. There just aren't any sources listed as has been tagged for cleanup. ArcAngel ( talk) 17:23, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Last time you reviewed my contributions was October 21. How have my edits been since October 22? You can reply either here or on my talk page, but if you reply on my talk page please make a new section instead of editing the "About your rollback" section from October, as it's been archived along with the rest of the October 2009 discussions. - Amaury ( talk) 00:52, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Long story... I saw this edit by that anon guy again, more ranting here and there, you come to take it out, I go to your userpage, and I'm thinking, "Hey, wait a minute, this is Eugene Krabs!" Apparently we're both "formerly-known-as" guys. I remember you, last time I saw you was back when I was G2sai. Your anti-vandal work has increased and improved tenfold. Best of luck and good fortune to you always, ♠The Ace of Spades( talk) 02:27, 7 November 2009 (UTC) |
Apparition11 has given you a WikiCake! WikiCakes promote
WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a cake, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Bon appetit!
Spread the tastiness of cakes by adding {{ subst:GiveCake}} to their talk page with a friendly message.
A cake seemed appropriate. Have a happy birthday! Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 08:57, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
If you read the intro of this article, it would be clear why your redirect was in error: The holiday is commonly printed as Veteran's Day or Veterans' Day in calendars and advertisements. While these spellings are grammatically acceptable, the United States government has declared that the attributive (no apostrophe) rather than the possessive case is the official spelling. Please don't go moving pages on a hunch without actually verifying it first. -- ShadowRangerRIT ( talk) 02:14, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi Zhang He. I declinded your tagging of Grady (band) with A2, as it only applies to articles that are copied from a foreign-language Wikipedia. In this case, there was no article on the Spanish Wikipedia for this subject. I've noticed from some of your other messages that you might be over-tagging with speedy deletion. Please remember they have a very narrow scope, and PROD or AfD should be used for articles outside of their scope. Singularity42 ( talk) 05:04, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
Zhang He, I've applied rollback to your account as you requested. I was glad to find no inappropriate reversions recently, and I also note that you are responding to queries on your talk page in a positive manner. I shall continue to monitor your contributions and will reassess this if necessary. But keep up the good work, — Martin ( MSGJ · talk) 13:47, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
