I'm new to issuing warnings. See User talk:C west2640 for my latest "subst:uw-vandalism2" warnings, regarding April 21, April 18 and September 2. Am I acting appropriately, or should I escalate? If so, how? I'm assuming that there's a bot that detects vandalism warnings, so that those with blocking authority can take appropriate action, but I don't know that for sure. Please advise. Thanks. -- Art Smart ( talk) 01:58, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

You have been granted with the rollback permission on the basis of your recent effort on dealing with vandalism. The rollback is a revert tool which can lessens the strains that normal javascripts such as twinkle put on the Wikipedia servers. You will find that you will revert faster through the rollback than through the normal reversion tools such as javascripts and the undo feature, which means that you could save time especially when reverting very large articles such as the George W. Bush page. To use it, simply click the [rollback] (which should appear unbloded if you have twinkle installed) link on the lastest diff page which should appear beside the link to the user's contributions. The rollback link will also appear on the history page beside the edit summary of the lastest edit. For more information, you may refer to this page. Yamamoto Ichiro 会話 23:07, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey, just letting you know I've removed your post to WP:AIV regarding User:Raphael1, at least for the time being. He seems to have stopped editing for the time being (offline for the night?), in which case we may not see any further developments in the next few minutes or hours. I'll be heading offline for a bit in the near future, myself. Left him a note and will check back tomorrow, if that suffices in terms of admin response for now; if not, feel free to bring the matter back up at WP:AN/I (where it can afford a bit more in the way of discussion -- AIV tends to have a rapid-pace clearinghouse atmosphere).

The following is in reference to User talk:70.108.92.126:
1)How about u look b4 u leap? I made no unconstructive edits. Ive contributed many times 2 building up the article. My edits RNT vandalism. Im not experimenting so Im not using sandbox.
2)I didnt revert. I combined the new good edits with the past best version of the aticle. It isnt vandalism. Its editing. What about when my work is undone? Pls stop butting in unless u look @ each version. Thank You.

Dear Arthur, Again LOOOK. I didnt reverse 14 revisions. Some among those 14 were reverts & autobots. I did include the good edits into the version I save. I do consider others. U took out a chunk @ the end which is important 4 understanding y the event is listed under controversy. Did I say I own it? No I didnt. Thanks. 70.108.92.126 ( talk) 21:57, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

The first block wasnt justified which is why I am continuing to edit. I asked & waited but no 1 ever reviewed the 1st block. Again, I didnt delete anything. The comments posted were linked. 70.108.115.143 ( talk) 14:38, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
1)Ah yes now it has been denied. I think only bc I continue editing is y my 1st request was looked @? I thought blocks r looked @ sooner?...Or am i wrong?
2)Thx 4 seeing my POV. I do try 2 consider others. I read the warnings & answered them. Pls look. All my edits do have edit summaries and I dont remove templates. The admin was wrong. He just blocked and didnt look.
3)I didnt call Ag an ass. I said dont be an *ss. There is a difference.
Ag called others the pejoritive "crank"
here. Y wasnt he reprimanded\blocked?
4)On
Elisabeth Hasselbeck I put her personal section in the Bio section. Y is that bad? I didnt change the page 2 insult other. Dont u think her personal life goes w her bio section? Ive seen this in other articles.

Well thank you very much for all the patient & detailed answers. I @ 1st was ready 2 say "f*ck off" 2 u as well bc of some of your reverts & reports on me. Now Im glad I didnt bc u r here explaining. Many other think the title 'admin' means GOD & ignore questions. So thx 4 anwering. 70.108.98.5 ( talk) 01:59, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
You would make a very good admin, and you'd definitely make an excellent mediator. And a belated Happy Easter to you too, I have relatives on several fronts - so I'm open to several sets of holiday wishes...;) Dreadstar † 18:29, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
As a frequent contributor (or vandal patroller) to the days of the year articles ( WP:DAYS), your comments on the current state of the proposed guideline for that project would be greatly appreciated. Discussion is taking place here. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 19:04, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello,
I stepped back as u told me to. Its Wed, block is done.
Ag (
User talk: AgnosticPreachersKid ) is following me ...y? He said 2 leave him alone, dont post on his page ( deleted what I posted on his page then reported me for doing the same 2 my page ),etc. So pls tell him 2 do the same: Dont follow me on wiki.
I do still have those questions for u, I'll post them later. Thx. 70.108.122.159 ( talk) 22:09, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Ag is lying. Look @ page history. He didnt "watch" it til he began watching my post. 70.108.122.159 ( talk) 20:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
The following blockquote is a copy of User talk:Stanley011#Citing Web and News Sources, followed by the continuing conversation:
I noticed in one of your recent changes to Elisabeth Hasselbeck, you removed a properly cited reference and replaced it with an improperly cited reference. I also noticed at Diego Hartfield, that you added an assertion. I briefly tried to substantiate your assertion using Google, but was unable to do so. Please add a citation. Thanks.
Please refer to Template:Cite web for instructions on properly citing a web page, such as the one you referenced in Elisabeth Hasselbeck. For news citations, please instead refer to Template:Cite news. Thanks again. -- Art Smart ( talk) 23:20, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Odd combination but regardless, a few things to mention. First, thank you for noting that I did not provide a citation for the fact that Tanya Hartfield, the model, is Diego's sister. Upon doing a google search I found a credible source, though it is in Spanish. Since this man is not really a big time player, and he's not from the US, it would be difficult to find a credible internet source that links the two. I did see him interviewed on the tennis channel by one of the Jenson brothers (I believe it was Luke) where he discussed his model sister--I will cite that when I get a hold of the reference. In the mean time, if you can assist me in finding an internet source I would be grateful. As for Hasselbeck, I deleted your Joy Behar quote about dictionary racism since it is impertinent to the Dahmer/Wright controversy. Thanks and look forward to working with you. Cheers, Stanley011 ( talk) 00:11, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Adding a fact tag after an unsubtantiated assertion is not a disruptive edit. Stanley011 ( talk) 16:18, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Re removing the additional date linking. On the page itself, there is a comment saying link all dates, for date preferences; so does Wikipedia:Timeline_standards (used by Wikipedia:WikiProject Years). This year seems to follow 3 separate styles; indented dupes, link one date, link all dates. I'm minded to change the formatting of all the dates on the page to consistently follow the timeline standard, but I know you're a frequent contributor to the days pages so I thought I'd check with you first, in case there is a more recent consensus I've missed. Bazzargh ( talk) 22:45, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Please note that I have re-done my edit to 11th August 1968 - it was not vandalism in the slightest. To avoid future confusion I have added a link to Fifteen Guinea Special which describes the events to which I was referring. ( 80.193.99.43 ( talk) 12:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC))
No problem! Glad it's all sorted! ( 80.193.99.43 ( talk) 12:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC))
I noticed that you added the AOL poll information about Elisabeth Hasselbeck. I am suggesting changing the wording of it. Please see the discussion I have started on the discussion page of the article. I would greatly appreciate your input. Many thanks Stanley011 ( talk) 21:03, 17 April 2008 (UTC).
My appologies; I didn't start a new disucssion but rather just included it under a current disucssion (Question 28, regarding the AOL poll). Once again I would appreciate your input whenever you get a chance. Many thanks Stanley011 ( talk) 21:11, 17 April 2008 (UTC).
Hi. I have added the entry for 2008 Masters Tournament back into 2008 article. A "major" golf chamionship is notable, in my opinion, and has been in the year articles previously. The referenced article does indeed say that the competition took place from 10 to 13 April, and so was indeed won by Trevor Immelman on the 13 April. I hope this is okay with you; if you have any queries, please reply on my talk page. -- MightyWarrior ( talk) 13:04, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Robert Phillips (poet), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Robert Phillips. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on
the maintainer's talk page.

Please review the policy on reverting contributions REVERT#Explain_reverts, you reverted my contributions without any discussion on the talk page, or my talk page. Please refrain from ignoring this Wiki policy in the future. Thanks. Supertheman ( talk) 13:36, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
You stated on my talk page that you were afraid "...our generation leaving them with a planet in much worse shape than we inherited" and asked for my thoughts on the subject. I certainly do fear for my children vis-a-vis the "shape" of this planet, however I am far more worried about the philosophical, religious and political state than I am the environmental situation. What are your thoughts on the matter? Supertheman ( talk) 16:58, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Hmmmmm... so you weren't interested in a discussion and instead simply wanted to mock me with "pity". I believed you were actually interested in a discussion. Oh well, once bitten...
For those of you speaking of needing an earth to live in to be able to do philosophy and religion, I might remind you of the Missiles of October. We came very close to destroying the entire planet that time and the "philosophy" was what helped us back from the brink. If cooler heads had not prevailed and someone had not done a bit of "philosophy" those of us that were left would be wandering a decidedly more polluted planet now (haha, to say that least).
As I'm sure many of you know, right now policy dictates much of the environmental initiatives, agencies and persons involved in trying to keep this planet clean. Policy is predicated on "philosophy", so I'd say the philosophy is pretty important vis-a-vis the environment, wouldn't you say? Supertheman ( talk) 03:26, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Try again, I said, "the philosophical, religious and political state" of our planet. I said it was important vis-a-vis the environment. Someone is throwing up straw men *yet again*. Goodness, I agree, time to turn this back over to Art. Supertheman ( talk) 05:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Good point, I moved it to your page, Nealparr. We agree on something after all, I don't know what's wrong with you either. See, we can agree on something!
By the way, you joined this discussion, so if you didn't "care" it seems a bit strange that you would have piped in, doesn't it? Supertheman ( talk) 05:51, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks very much for cite tagging the "garnered support" edit I made instead of simply reverting me. That shows good faith on your part and promotes team work. I'm working on good cites now. There is so much infighting over the article that I thought it was worth taking a minute to say thanks for playing by the rules. Cheers! Angry Christian ( talk) 02:56, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Good day Art. I wanted to immediately invite you to contribute your perspective to a discussion I started on Southern Company's talk page about SO's contribution to G. W. Bush's 2nd inauguration. Rather than revert each other back and forth I figured open discussion was best. I appreciate your good faith, civility and outstanding use of edit summaries. Unfortunately the SO article doesn't get much attention so I plan to simply invite the most recent two or three article editors with talk pages to provide their input as well to help reach a consensus. Best wishes. Respectfully, Linepm ( talk) 21:04, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Here's some info on how to move a page while preserving its history and creating a move log: WP:MOVE. It's usually best to get consensus before moving a page. Also, if you move a page, you should fix all the pages that linked to it. To do that, you would go back to the original page and click "What links here" (in the toolbox on the left side). I've reverted all four pages involved in your recent attempted move of Jenna Bush to Jenna Hager. Please handle it however you like from here, in keeping with WP:MOVE.

Thanks for the assist on this one, Art. Just to let you and anon know, AgnosticPreachersKid was indeed warned about the personal attack referenced above. Dreadstar † 18:12, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
1)Also, what constitutes a personal attack?
2)I said _" dont be an *ss "_ & u all r pissed. Ag called some1 the pejoritive insult crank here, & there was no repercussion. Y wasnt he reprimanded\blocked?
3) Dan called me "bullheaded" and "hi & mighty"
here. Will he be blocked ? That is a personal attack. He also threatened 2 block all ISP providers. Threats r allowed?....
. . . I want to be rude as he was & post __" U cannot block me. Their is home internet, wifi, internet cafes, starbucks, tmobile...endless internet possibilites "__ but I dont want 2 let some person who THINKS they r something bc they're a wiki admin get a rise outta me.
4)What is a disruptive edit
5)I moved the personal section into the bio section, how is that disruptive?
6) Have u looked @ the Elisabeth Hasselbeck page history? User_talk:Flyer22 alway reverts others edits. S\he only wants his version 2 stand.

Well thank you very much for all the patient & detailed answers. I @ 1st was ready 2 say "f*ck off" 2 u as well bc of some of your reverts & reports on me. Now Im glad I didnt bc u r here explaining. Many other think the title 'admin' means GOD & ignore questions. So thx 4 anwering. 70.108.98.5 ( talk) 01:59, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
You would make a very good admin, and you'd definitely make an excellent mediator. And a belated Happy Easter to you too, I have relatives on several fronts - so I'm open to several sets of holiday wishes...;) Dreadstar † 18:29, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
As a frequent contributor (or vandal patroller) to the days of the year articles ( WP:DAYS), your comments on the current state of the proposed guideline for that project would be greatly appreciated. Discussion is taking place here. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 19:04, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello,
I stepped back as u told me to. Its Wed, block is done.
Ag (
User talk: AgnosticPreachersKid ) is following me ...y? He said 2 leave him alone, dont post on his page ( deleted what I posted on his page then reported me for doing the same 2 my page ),etc. So pls tell him 2 do the same: Dont follow me on wiki.
I do still have those questions for u, I'll post them later. Thx. 70.108.122.159 ( talk) 22:09, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Ag is lying. Look @ page history. He didnt "watch" it til he began watching my post. 70.108.122.159 ( talk) 20:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
The following blockquote is a copy of User talk:Stanley011#Citing Web and News Sources, followed by the continuing conversation:
I noticed in one of your recent changes to Elisabeth Hasselbeck, you removed a properly cited reference and replaced it with an improperly cited reference. I also noticed at Diego Hartfield, that you added an assertion. I briefly tried to substantiate your assertion using Google, but was unable to do so. Please add a citation. Thanks.
Please refer to Template:Cite web for instructions on properly citing a web page, such as the one you referenced in Elisabeth Hasselbeck. For news citations, please instead refer to Template:Cite news. Thanks again. -- Art Smart ( talk) 23:20, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Odd combination but regardless, a few things to mention. First, thank you for noting that I did not provide a citation for the fact that Tanya Hartfield, the model, is Diego's sister. Upon doing a google search I found a credible source, though it is in Spanish. Since this man is not really a big time player, and he's not from the US, it would be difficult to find a credible internet source that links the two. I did see him interviewed on the tennis channel by one of the Jenson brothers (I believe it was Luke) where he discussed his model sister--I will cite that when I get a hold of the reference. In the mean time, if you can assist me in finding an internet source I would be grateful. As for Hasselbeck, I deleted your Joy Behar quote about dictionary racism since it is impertinent to the Dahmer/Wright controversy. Thanks and look forward to working with you. Cheers, Stanley011 ( talk) 00:11, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Adding a fact tag after an unsubtantiated assertion is not a disruptive edit. Stanley011 ( talk) 16:18, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Re removing the additional date linking. On the page itself, there is a comment saying link all dates, for date preferences; so does Wikipedia:Timeline_standards (used by Wikipedia:WikiProject Years). This year seems to follow 3 separate styles; indented dupes, link one date, link all dates. I'm minded to change the formatting of all the dates on the page to consistently follow the timeline standard, but I know you're a frequent contributor to the days pages so I thought I'd check with you first, in case there is a more recent consensus I've missed. Bazzargh ( talk) 22:45, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Please note that I have re-done my edit to 11th August 1968 - it was not vandalism in the slightest. To avoid future confusion I have added a link to Fifteen Guinea Special which describes the events to which I was referring. ( 80.193.99.43 ( talk) 12:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC))
No problem! Glad it's all sorted! ( 80.193.99.43 ( talk) 12:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC))
I noticed that you added the AOL poll information about Elisabeth Hasselbeck. I am suggesting changing the wording of it. Please see the discussion I have started on the discussion page of the article. I would greatly appreciate your input. Many thanks Stanley011 ( talk) 21:03, 17 April 2008 (UTC).
My appologies; I didn't start a new disucssion but rather just included it under a current disucssion (Question 28, regarding the AOL poll). Once again I would appreciate your input whenever you get a chance. Many thanks Stanley011 ( talk) 21:11, 17 April 2008 (UTC).
Hi. I have added the entry for 2008 Masters Tournament back into 2008 article. A "major" golf chamionship is notable, in my opinion, and has been in the year articles previously. The referenced article does indeed say that the competition took place from 10 to 13 April, and so was indeed won by Trevor Immelman on the 13 April. I hope this is okay with you; if you have any queries, please reply on my talk page. -- MightyWarrior ( talk) 13:04, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Robert Phillips (poet), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Robert Phillips. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on
the maintainer's talk page.

Hi, would you tell me why you think the addition I made is not a notable event? I can provide a reference for it if required, but the article should be reference enough. I've got the fact up for a DYK. Mjroots ( talk) 12:02, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Please review the policy on reverting contributions REVERT#Explain_reverts, you reverted my contributions without any discussion on the talk page, or my talk page. Please refrain from ignoring this Wiki policy in the future. Thanks. Supertheman ( talk) 13:36, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
You stated on my talk page that you were afraid "...our generation leaving them with a planet in much worse shape than we inherited" and asked for my thoughts on the subject. I certainly do fear for my children vis-a-vis the "shape" of this planet, however I am far more worried about the philosophical, religious and political state than I am the environmental situation. What are your thoughts on the matter? Supertheman ( talk) 16:58, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Hmmmmm... so you weren't interested in a discussion and instead simply wanted to mock me with "pity". I believed you were actually interested in a discussion. Oh well, once bitten...
For those of you speaking of needing an earth to live in to be able to do philosophy and religion, I might remind you of the Missiles of October. We came very close to destroying the entire planet that time and the "philosophy" was what helped us back from the brink. If cooler heads had not prevailed and someone had not done a bit of "philosophy" those of us that were left would be wandering a decidedly more polluted planet now (haha, to say that least).
As I'm sure many of you know, right now policy dictates much of the environmental initiatives, agencies and persons involved in trying to keep this planet clean. Policy is predicated on "philosophy", so I'd say the philosophy is pretty important vis-a-vis the environment, wouldn't you say? Supertheman ( talk) 03:26, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Try again, I said, "the philosophical, religious and political state" of our planet. I said it was important vis-a-vis the environment. Someone is throwing up straw men *yet again*. Goodness, I agree, time to turn this back over to Art. Supertheman ( talk) 05:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Good point, I moved it to your page, Nealparr. We agree on something after all, I don't know what's wrong with you either. See, we can agree on something!
By the way, you joined this discussion, so if you didn't "care" it seems a bit strange that you would have piped in, doesn't it? Supertheman ( talk) 05:51, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks very much for cite tagging the "garnered support" edit I made instead of simply reverting me. That shows good faith on your part and promotes team work. I'm working on good cites now. There is so much infighting over the article that I thought it was worth taking a minute to say thanks for playing by the rules. Cheers! Angry Christian ( talk) 02:56, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Good day Art. I wanted to immediately invite you to contribute your perspective to a discussion I started on Southern Company's talk page about SO's contribution to G. W. Bush's 2nd inauguration. Rather than revert each other back and forth I figured open discussion was best. I appreciate your good faith, civility and outstanding use of edit summaries. Unfortunately the SO article doesn't get much attention so I plan to simply invite the most recent two or three article editors with talk pages to provide their input as well to help reach a consensus. Best wishes. Respectfully, Linepm ( talk) 21:04, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Here's some info on how to move a page while preserving its history and creating a move log: WP:MOVE. It's usually best to get consensus before moving a page. Also, if you move a page, you should fix all the pages that linked to it. To do that, you would go back to the original page and click "What links here" (in the toolbox on the left side). I've reverted all four pages involved in your recent attempted move of Jenna Bush to Jenna Hager. Please handle it however you like from here, in keeping with WP:MOVE.
