Deleting all them bad Files and Pages, then blocking that user. ~ ⇒TomTom N00 @ 09:36, 1 April 2012 (UTC) |
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on User:Boing! said Zebedee requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Yash t 101 :) 10:09, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Alright if you talk about it, it's okay. Well I think there is no need to post a reason for removal of unnecessary categories which do not belong to that particular page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nickzlapeor ( talk • contribs) 10:45, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
The reason is clearly evident. As far as that particular page is concerned, it is talking about an empire that existed before atleast 1900 AD. I cannot see how pakistan existed during that time. History of Pakistan should rather include pages related to that region, from 1947 to present, when it was really created. Hope this explains the reason to you somehow.

Hi there! I thought you might be interested in WikiProject Wikify's
April Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive. We'll be trying to reduce the backlog size by over 1,300 articles and we need your help! Hard-working participants in the drive will receive
awards for their contributions, including a brand new one for the single largest wikified article! All you have to do is put an asterisk next to the largest article you've wikified, and coordinators will check its wordcount after the drive ends. If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks! Note: The drive started April 1, and you can
sign up anytime! |
This user has now made their fourth unblock request and have continued their claims about other editors, they have refactored another editors comment on their page and have removed a comment I placed on the page stating removing unrelated comments. page only for admin comments all this despite your notification to them that this kind of behaviour would result in their talk page access being revoked..

Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{ GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May.

Does the new article Central List of Other Backward Classes for the State of Andhra Pradesh really serve any useful purpose? It is a straight copy from the official list. That list is available online and is regularly cited in articles, and the content changes from time to time. If we are going to start adding articles based entirely on a single primary source then our count will grow dramatically. I do know that the creator likes to do this sort of thing and, alas, after umpteen years of creating stuff, still seems not to understand basics such as overlinking, time-sensitivity (use of the {{As of}} template) etc. - Sitush ( talk) 09:30, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

The pages Outline of iOS and Outline of Apple Inc. were not eligible for speedy deletion under criterion A10, as they were not "recently created" — both pages were over two years old, and speedy had already been declined twice by two different administrators before User:Jimthing retagged them for speedy again a third time. If Jimthing really believes that they should be deleted, he has the option of going the full WP:AFD route, but they shouldn't have been speedied. Bearcat ( talk) 21:05, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

User:Highstakes00 I do not know whose sock this is, I no longer care. But I will not have a sock which was created for the sole purpose of reverting and opposing my edits to stalk me. Highstakes00 first contribution to Wikipedia was to revert me on an article rarely edited [9] [10] [11] He has not touched that article since being unblocked for sock puppetry. He then followed me to [ here an article I had created and was bringing up to GA class. His sock User:Repitile1 First edit was to revert me [12] on an article which since being unblocked he has not touched. As Highstakes00 the majority of his edits are in areas were I edit, not really an issue except all he does on these intersecting articles is revert me [13] [14] [15] [16] or just cast his votes against me in any RFC I may have started [17] [18] [19] obviously for no reason other than to just oppose me. He also stalks my contributions, turning up at articles I have created.

As I have pointed at at WP:ANI#Sri Lanka, you made a mistake in blocking User:Distributor108--the vandalism (adding of his name all over the article)--was done by an entirely different editor ( User: Joelcres, who I assume is a throwaway sock of one of the other editors on that article). I've indeffed Joelcres. In the meantime, though, other editors at ANI have agreed with the more general block based on the disruptive attitude. It would help if you could comment there and/or at Distributor108's talk page as to whether or not, given the fact that the vandalism was not committed by this user, you still would have blocked indefinitely for other problems, I'd appreciate it.

Greetings, there was, at one point, a rap group in Newfoundland that rapped in the local dialect (a mix of Candian and Cork Irish). At various points in 2006-2007 (when the group was current) folks presumably tried to make the usual "garage band" articles, which were repeatedly deleted, and eventually a mod (who last contributed in 2009) "salted the earth" to prevent future articles.
Turns out that not only amateur-linguist-MV but also no-crap serious sociologists found the band interesting, and wrote about it in a few journals. I've taken the available bits and made User:MatthewVanitas/Gazeebow Unit. Is there any chance you could take a squint, and if appropriate "un-salt" the earth so this draft can move to articlespace? If she goes, I'll also try to track down the band and get a promo shot for CreativeCommons. Thanks for any assistance or referral (in my brief deviation from India, currently tackling Dalit and Sikh Dalit articles). MatthewVanitas ( talk) 01:21, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
The Barnstar of Diplomacy | |
This is the second Barnstar that I am leaving for an administrator because of your help yesterday. Thank you for being objective yesterday on the administrator talk about Asia Food Recipe and TravelFox. I took the day to reflect on the situation and I will be improving the other articles that I mentioned ( AfroFoodtv.com Cookin' with Coolio Epicurious FoodPair RecipeBridge Yummly) as opposed to recommending them for deletion. After all, if I can make them notable, they will be a good inclusion to Wikipedia. No sense deleting content that should not remain (which they probably shouldn't at this point) if there is a chance to improve the article. Thanks again.

I could use your help as an admin for The World Tomorrow page. A newly created page had been deliberately configured to trump and overtake the original article for a copyrighted and trademarked program of the same name that is in current production. Someone in favor or a supporter of embattled Wikileaks founder Julian Assange did the damage, created a page for him and his show of the infringing title, and has worked hard to push the original page out of existance on Wikipedia. The original page now reads The World Tomorrow (1934) Chrisian television program 1934-1994 -- which gives the false impression the original is off the air and out of production. Please assist.

Just a guess here, but I tried to be nice and pointed him to the ANI for diffs a couple times. The last time I gave him exact diff's, allowing for a remote possibility that his question was in good faith, which should have answered his question quite clearly. He still keeps deleting my reply and asking the same question. Since it isn't particularly disruptive at this point, I'm guessing we just don't stop feeding the troll and leave it alone unless it escalates? This isn't a call to action, just an educational request and self-check.

Invitation from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their May 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on May 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on May 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goal for the drive will be to eliminate January, February, and March 2011 from the queue. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa, and Stfg. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

I am the author of the Pulse Recording wiki page, that you have deleted without any forewarning on April 24th. Pulse Recording is a privately owned, US music publishing company, not selling a product or a service, and does not accept unsolicited requests. This wikipedia page was not created in anyway for promotion or advertising of the company, but solely a listing of the company's clients and it's published stories. I received a note to make in-line citations to improve the article, which I completed last week. I am happy to make continued improvement to the article so that it passes your necessary standards, and falls in accordance with all of the other US music publishing companies that have wiki pages, and aren't being accused of "unambiguous advertising or promotion." I ask that you please re-consider the speedy deletion of this page, and advise the steps I need to take to get it back up. Thank you kindly ( Jpoindex ( talk) 21:43, 24 April 2012 (UTC))

It has moved to my talk page, after I closed the ANI [28] as being a content dispute for No Country for Old Men (film). Ring Cinema and JTBX, both of which have multiple blocks for warring in their past, RC in particular. There may be others involved indirectly. There are a couple things in the histories that bug me, RC has a lot of activity reverting on the article, maybe ownish, maybe just protecive. I will let you draw you own conclusions on J. I tried to get them to go to DR, and have it at a low to medium boil, but something is setting off my Spidey sense, but I don't know what I'm missing. I also invited a 3rd party they both seem to like to the article talk page, but too soon for a reply. Maybe it does need to go back to ANI, maybe I was right and DR should handle it (even though they seem more interested in bickering). I'm not sure. They have also involved EdJohnston on his talk page, which has been about as ineffective. They are both badgering each other in talk and reverting, carefully staying under the threshold. RC seems to have a friend or two, but I'm not sure if that is because his points are more valid or just been around more. I'm not expecting you to jump in, just asking advice. Then again, if you think the best solution IS to jump in, I will not be offended in anyway, and would welcome it. You aren't going to hurt my pride, I just want a solution, and we are reaching the limits of my previous experience, so it is time to learn instead. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 00:51, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

I would like to report the user Historyfeelings... who is engaging in a continuing vandalism on several Wikipedia articles. I had several talks with him, after I tried to undo his vandalism.
The user is vandalising three different articles by replacing every word “Souf” with the word “Sakib” without any attention to the context of his vandalism or the factual aspect of the information he is changing. What drawn my attention to what he was doing that one of the Jordanian newspapers “Addustour” in their 05/05/2011, who themselves engaged in plagiarism after copying the Wikipedia article “in Arabic and publishing it as an article of their own. By doing this they just added publicity to the vandalised information the user and re-used the information without even mentioning that the information was originally vandalised by the user Historyfeelings.
I just tracked his Vandalism.....
- on article "Jerash" the user Historyfeelings vandalism started on 04:30, 24 February 2012. In this change he/she added Sakib and then started simply replacing "Souf" with "Sakib" just for the intention of vandalism.
- on article "Jordan" the user Historyfeelings vandalism started on 00:48, 10 April 2012. In this change he/she just replaced the photo for the olive farms in "Souf" with a photo for the mountains of Sakib, which is in fact for the purpose of vandalism as the picture was listed in irrelevant section as the mountain has no farming. This was just for the intention of vandalism.
- on the article جرش (Arabic) the user Historyfeelings started his vandalism on 04:13، 2 يناير 2012 (January) by by adding "Sakib" to every "Souf" word in the article. Later on the 04:24، 24 فبراير 2012 (February) after the user engaged in several editing war with several other users, he simply started replacing "Souf" with "Sakib" in every word in the article.
The user Historyfeelings has manged to obtain the status of Autopatrolled unlawfully.... Most of his article are vandalism and most of them violates Wikipedia policy as they are written solely to glorify his/her unknown tribe and village which is banned by wikipedia regulations. In addition, he/she created a number of articles which simply repeat it self to get the status of Autopatrolled user. He/she only changing the spelling and the titles e.g. the family of Ayasreh, the tribe of Ayasreh, The Clan of Ayasreh, Ayasreh, etc. With his village he/she just creating articles with different name e.g. village of Sakib, Town of Sakib, City of Sakbib, Sakibe, etc. I checked the requirements and it states that it should be 50 new articles with a considerable authenticity and credibility, which is simple not the case with all her/his articles. I am really loosing faith in Wikipedia editing policy, and I believe something should change to stop similar cases Thank you for your help I would appreciate your intervention.
Historyfeeling is now abusing his Autopatrolled privillages in wikipedia Arabic. He/she prevent anybody from editing the Arabic copy of Jerash Article, where he also replaced Souf" with another "Sakib".

Hey, BsZ, can you take a look at User:Mediajaw/sandbox? It looks to be the same copyrighted content in the article Warren Taylor - Noted American Artist, but I don't really want to tag it myself, since I'm (for some reason) worried it will look like harassment or hounding or some other unsavory term. (Also, I'm kinda worried that the editor just isn't getting it.) Thanks! Writ Keeper ⚇ ♔ 19:51, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
I read your reasoning for removing the CSD tag and I had a question about it. You reasoning was that the band had recorded 2 studio albums, but according to WP:BAND the only thing I could see about recording an album was that it had to be on a major label, or a major indie label, which I don't see any notation of. I checked the album as well and it was a self-released album, not from a label. I'll wait for a response, but it looks like this band self-recorded an album, and there isn't any notability to be met. Let me know what you think. Wildthing61476 ( talk) 20:29, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

I reviewed, Wikipedia policy regarding multiple accounts.Wikipedia allows multiple accounts as long as they are not used for Sockpuppet and I believe it is not the case with my accounts
Yes I have more than one account in wikipedia. I created Banimustafa account in 2006 and Wakwakwiki in 2011.
I created the new account Wakwakwiki to conceal my personal identity for safety and security, as the first account was pointing to my surname. I used the old account Banimustafa, just to make a point about my contribution to the article Jerash, which the user HistoryFeelings was trying to vandalize since some months ago by replacing Souf with Sakeb, while keeping the same words which I used for describing the souf role in the development of modern Jerash.
The my accounts were there much longer than the dispute with HistoryFeelings and that is a proof that it is not a case of Sockpuppet. If I was using them to support my editing war with HistoryFeelings, I will not use the same words as you described in the case and in this case I would not even be involved in any talks. My defense is verifiable by checking the history of the article, which prove that I never been involved in Sockpuppet.
My contibution to the article in 2006 is described by the edit history of the article:
While my try to stop Historyfeelings was in 2012
However, if you check the history of the recent edit war with HistoryFeelings using the article history you will note that I did not use my old account Banimustafa in editing the article, which prove that my good intention. I used the account Banimustafa in the complains and the discussion, just to make a point that I was the editor of the information which Historyfeelings was vandalizing, by replacing the word Souf with sakib and that what made me angry as I spent many hours and days in developing the article from its beginning the user Historyfeelings.
In addition, the user Historyfeelings was in fact the one who was doing Sockpuppetting using different IP addresses in the editing war as described below:
The edit history of the article also showing the user involvement in several editing wars before mine, while I never been involved in such wars as showing by history of the article edit, neither using the old account Banimustafa, or using the new account Wakwakwiki.
I hope this explain the matter. Best Regards Banimustafa ( talk) 12:27, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

I have unblocked the user and left a comment that I would like you to read. It is plausible that the person is unrelated to the other, and looking over the different IPs used, I have more of an idea of who is a sock and who is not, but i'm going to take each appeal as it comes. I just wanted to point out that canvassing offwiki, and meatpuppeting are blockable offenses and as the meatpuppet policy says "For the purposes of dispute resolution, the Arbitration Committee issued a decision in 2005 stating "whether a party is one user with sockpuppets or several users with similar editing habits they may be treated as one user with sockpuppets."" which makes me not required to make a positive sock determination to issue a block. Looking it over I do agree it was not the best block, as the technical information did not add up and the attacks were not as blatant, so that's why I did unblock. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 01:25, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

It is less than 24 hours since you took a look at the Redaloes problem. The issues regarding that contributor are continuing and they appear not to want to respond to guidance etc. In fact, more often than not they are just reinstating citations etc which were removed for reasons that have been explained to them.

Could you please investigate Historyfeelings for sockpuppetry. Please the contributions made to the articles "Jordan" and "Jerash" for using different IP addresses.
Historyfeelings is involved in IP sockpuppetry using not only two, but three IP addresses in addition to his/her user account. The first IP address is 46.185.160.11, which he used in the edit war in "Jerash" article and the IP address 46.185.138.244 in the edit war on "Jordan" article to evade his/her account blocking.
These two different IP addressees in addition, to a third IP address 94.249.93.242, which he used to communicate with you, while he was blocked. please see the changes to the two articles made in during the edit war.

As I am trying to avoid edit waring with Historyfeelings (H.F), do you suggest a mechanism, where a third party can check the references used in the article and validates the claims made by the two parties based on the references cited in the article. From my side, I am happy to provide additional verifiable references upon request to prove my point of view.
In "Jordan" article I think the issue is much simpler, I do not mind if Historyfeelings add his own picture "A mountain in Sakib" provided that he/she stop deleting the picture which I added about "olive farms in Souf". However, I suggest that his/her picture to be added to more relevant section in the article as the section is about agriculture, while his picture is more sensible to be added to nature or tourism.

Hi Boing!; I'm asking you and Salvio giuliano, as admins who sometimes handle India caste-related issues, to review an edit war at Nambudiri. Two users, one of whom I have a well known on-wiki relationship with, were edit warring. I fully protected the article for 24 hours to stop the edit warring, but it may be that blocks are appropriate (both editors crossed 3RR). While I felt that protecting the article was safe under WP:INVOLVED, I don't think I can make a fair blocking decision. Thanks for your assistance. Qwyrxian ( talk) 14:55, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
WP:TLDR time, sorry, but you did ask ...
The problems relate to both sources but are most significant regarding Pullapilly. For example, the first insertion includes
According to historians, Nambudiris migration to Kerala started in considerable numbers during the period of brahminic revival inaugurated by Sankarachararya (788-820) and continued by Kumarilambhattan, Sanbandhamoorthi, Parasuraman and many others. However, brahmanic influence in South India dated as far back as 1st century AD as there are numerous mentions of it in Sangham Literature
whilst Pullapilly says (p. 28)
The Namboothiris started to arrive in Kerala in considerable numbers during the period of the Brahminic revival inaugurated by Sri Sankaracharya (788-820) and continued by Kumarilambhattan, Sanbandhamoorthi, Parasuraman and many others. Brahminic influence in South India dated as far back as 1st century AD as there are numerous mentions of it in the Tamil Sagham literature of between the first and fourth centuries of the Christian era.
The same edit also says
Socially, they effected a complete transformation in many ways. Introduction of the caste system with the Nambudiris ...
whilst Pullapilly says (p. 29)
Socially, they effected a complete transformation in various ways. Introduction of the caste system was one.
Some of the other bits are close paraphrases.
The stuff is reinstated here, along with Indic scripts that had also been previously removed for reasons explained to AshLey. I could have fixed the copyvio but there was no point: a piece based on Pullapilly already existed at Caste system in Kerala, which I subsequently introduced and modified to suit, starting with this edit. AshLey then removed that & inserted some close paraphrasing as a replacement, with a quite bizarre edit summary of "weasel removed, exact copy of texts from copy righted source removed". And so it carried on ...
The close paraphrasing additions were better than the outright copyvio but completely unnecessary given the copy/paste from Caste system in Kerala. I think that probably AshLey was just determined "not to lose" by this stage. I had templated them and then posted several further messages at User_talk:Ashley_thomas80#May_2012 before getting a response there, although AshLey did take a pop on my talk page with an inappropriate warning etc. - Sitush ( talk) 17:16, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
I am afraid that a part of the issue is that this involvement between myself and the other party extends beyond one article. AshLey has a lot of useful knowledge and I really do not want to see this thing end in a bad way. The knowledge etc just needs to be channeled.
Trying to view things from the other side of the fence, one of the problems with these articles is something that has been raised by several admins over at least the last twelve months: many of the articles are contentious, often in the systemic sense, and although there are a growing number of admins who are prepared to take a look at the numerous issues without becoming involved, the net result tends to be that they have a personal involvement with either myself or a couple of others. This then causes issues such as that which are stated at the start of this thread, which is fundamentally one of being accused of cabalism. It is a rocky road and I appreciate that travelling it can be awkward. I think that it would be beneficial to inform Ashley thomas80 of this discussion but perhaps it would be better coming from someone other than me? - Sitush ( talk) 00:25, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the invitation EdJohnston and thanks for the guidance Qwyrxian. First of all, I admit that the phrasing of my contributions, closely followed the source, at least in one sentence, but I have observed the same practice with many established writers. For example, in the book of Harold Coward (Hindu Christian Dialogue), a few important points are almost the same in text and phrase as in the book of Duncan Forrester. Let'us analyse the present version of Wikipedia article Nambudiri:
But in the source, Pullapilly narrates the theory as:Cyriac Pullapilly has noted a theory that the Nambudiris are associated by some with the development of the caste system in Kerala...
This style of presentation fails to convey the readers of the actual information. In order to avoid such misguiding narration, I had to follow the source so closely in some sentences....The other theory hold that it was the Namboothiri Brahmins who introduced the caste system in Kerala...
where as the source mentions "in considerable numbers". Namudiris are less than 0.5 percent of Kerala population, and this "large influx" is misguiding. Moreover, the inference from source is that the migration was a continuing process and reached a climax between 7th and 10th centuries. Here also our article fails follow the source....there was a large influx of these people from around the 8th-century when they acted as priests.
But the source only says the civilized population of the area had become Budhists by the "influence" of missionaries. Here, I'm afraid, the usage of the word "conversion" is misleading in the Indian context. Moreover, the source in Page:26 says that there were some Syrian Christians in Kerala, who were non-aboriginals and here too the article is bit misleading and incomplete.At the time of their arrival the non-aboriginal local population had been converted to Buddhism by missionaries who had come from the north of India and from Ceylon.
But, it is incomplete and fails to explain how?The Brahmins used their symbiotic relationship with the invading forces to assert their beliefs and position.
But the last clause is not inferred anywhere in the source. However source explains many vulgar tricks of Nambudiris in order to "drive away" the Budhists.-- AshLey Msg 12:25, 12 May 2012 (UTC)Buddhist temples and monasteries were either destroyed or taken over for use in Hindu practices, thus undermining the ability of the Buddhists to propagate their beliefs.

Since you protected the thing, just a note to let you know that I have absolutely ripped into Rajput during the last few minutes. The problems (few footnotes/big and obscure list of sources) had been tagged since July 2010 and I tried to move things along a little between July and December by tagging for specific cites/unreferenced sections etc. Nothing changed, so I've binned the tagged stuff and we'll have to start over. Amazingly, this crock of crap currently shows ratings ranging from 4.3 to 4.7. Clear evidence, in my mind, that this satisfied the vanity of a readership even though it was hopeless as an encyclopedic article. It still is, in many respects. - Sitush ( talk) 19:27, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

I recieved a rather long message on my talk page that I believe may be a result of stho002 emailing people on Wikipedia to give them his point of view on topics of interest to him. If I understand correectly this type of behavior may be in breach of his edit block. user:Dyanega is a specialist in insects and has never had any interest in turtles. He suddenly appears on this subject when stho002 has been banned. He has made many of the same unfounded accusations that stho002 made against me some 18 months ago, issues that were investigated at the time by admins and I was found to have done nothing wrong. At the time user:ZooPro gave me a precautionary warning to ensure I was careful about wp:NPOV. This was history though.

I have just noted that the user Historyfeelings is also trying to promote Sakib in the article " Jerash Governorate". on the same fashion as the article "Jerash" and "Jordan". Please notice the difference in the article before Historyfeelings changes and compare it to the version after Historyfeelings made his promotion campaign to sakib.
The main picture in the article which was showing the map of the governorate is now replaced with a picture from sakib. The picture from Souf (as always) was replaced by a picture of Sakib (of course after deleting the legend which was describing that the picture was taken in Souf). Then, two pictures of sakib was added to take over the article after re-arranging other pictures in the article and make them less important....even the picture of Jerash which is the capital of the governorate was replaced with a picture from Sakib. This is what happened in "Jerash" article and also what happened in "Jordan" article .... and it is now happening in "Jerash Governorate" article for the same purpose.

Hi, I want to bring your attention to the suspicious contribution made by anonymous IP addresses which I think they are either socket puppets or hired crowds.
First: the English language was made in the contributions was made intentionally bad as it appear in the style of writing and the spelling mistakes
Second : the contributions obviously support one side. Please note what the IP address 94.249.72.86 said "Please note the sentence written by i translate google person HF writ conclusin above i agree with he". Also note what the IP address 46.185.141.158 said "So I do agree with the above conclusion" which was referring to the conclusion repeated by History feelings three times in the discussion which was an attempt to force a resolution.
Third: The IP address 94.249.72.86 who signed with the name "mohammad marazeq" tried to act neutral he said "i not agree this artecle.... all villagge was seed for modern jarash not sakib or souf and jarash build by all people and they live in jarash not only souf..... there are no center for mirad region in anytime and it is raymun keth sakib nahlh debin burma jazzazh . mohammad marazeq - jarash" Then he said " i translate google person HF writ conclusin above i agree with he". Which is obviously an attempt to make a different point.
Fourth: The IP address 46.185.141.158 also used exactly the same argument made by the user Historyfeelings in the discussion of the Arabic version of the article "Besides the whole region including Jerash itself was a part of Ajlun district during the Ottoman rule". I am happy to provide the tarnslation upon request.
Fifth: Both IP addresses left there names the IP address 94.249.72.86 "mohammad marazeq" and IP address 46.185.141.158 "Ahmed Smadi".
Sixth: Both IP addresses commented on the same point regarding my user name and my surname.
Seventh: This article is six year old and no body changed the article or suggested any changes regarding the disputed statements until history feelings made the changes to the article.
Could you please investigate the matter. Regards Banimustafa ( talk) 04:16, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

There's a unblock request on Starkiller88's talk page on a provision that a ban on editing anything related about Fobos-Grunt in any way (no discussion, no articles, and any topics relating to this mission). This is due to the fact that that was the first time he added "something coherent" relating to the mission on the Living Interplanetary Flight Experiment article, as stated in the talk page, and BatteryIncluded praised him, saying "Thank you". He's accepted it. You can hope that his indefinite block will be lifted soon so that he could not repeat the same disruptive editing to avoid vandalism and trolling. 119.40.118.34 ( talk) 03:14, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Hey, BsZ, I see that you made some comments on RRiegger's talk page about his I Love Chile articles. Well, he's made it again; it still looks to be pretty non-notable (A7-worthy), but it looks like he's put some serious effort into toning down the promotional language, so I don't want to mark it for deletion quite yet. If you have a moment, could you head over to his talk page and see if you could help me try to get him to understand? Thanks, Writ Keeper ⚇ ♔ 17:18, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
I am a little disappointed at your comment in the recent discussion at RfA, relating to repeasted negative comments posted my Malleus Fatuorum. You may have perhaps not have appreciated that my suggestion of a block was not immediate, but was contingent upon his continuing disruption. You may feel that his earlier comments (not his question or his !vote, obviously) were wholly acceptable. I see them as getting very close to disruption, especially in the light of his previous interraction on this topic with ArbCom. Clearly, however, in the light of the dicussion, both for and against, which my comment has generated, it would not be appropriate for me to take any further action. You will note that I did not, imtentionally, !vote in the RfA. -- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 19:32, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
Please do not lose your self-confidence. I have, as you know, in the past supported you and am happy to continue to do so.

Hello, Boing! I wonder if you would do me a favour. I speedily deleted EthosCE as promotional. The author has challenged the deletion, and you can see discussion of it at User talk:Zendoodles. I still think that the article was promotional enough to justify speedy deletion, but it was not outright blatant spam, so I wonder if you would be willing to give a second opinion? If you disagree with me then please restore the article. JamesBWatson ( talk) 10:03, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
For example, "EthosCE is a learning management system designed by healthcare clinicians and developers for the administration of continuing medical education activities" really doesn't tell me what it is. The first sentence should be more like "EthosCE is a computer software package produced by DLC Solutions, and is used for producing medical educational websites" (or whatever it actually does - "the administration of continuing medical education activities" is marketing speak and really doesn't tell me anything).
I'd also get rid of the version-by-version development history, as that's really not appropriate for an encyclopedia. And maybe leave out technical details (eg what interfaces it provides - encyclopedia readers aren't interested in that), and perhaps say more about who uses it instead? There's a list of examples, and that's something that might make reasonable non-promotional narrative.
But yes, I wouldn't go for straight undeletion into article space - I would suggest userfy. (PS: I'm off to the Liverpool Wiki meet now - I may be gone some time). -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 10:56, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

There is a slow edit war going on at Tirunelveli, involving myself and User:182.72.180.46. I did try to communicate - "Look, either provide a reliable source and explain why you think that the point about being the sixth largest city is important, or you stop your edit warring. Please note that you are also going to have to define "largest city". Sitush (talk) 18:18, 31 May 2012 (UTC)" is a part of my addition to the EW template, but this contributor appears not to be responding.
I have just noticed that in conjunction with their repeated reinstatement of an unsourced statement regarding Tirunelveli being the 6th largest city, they are also removing a sourced statement for the same claim at Vellore. Since they appear to edit in small doses, reporting this to WP:EW is pointless as a 24 hour block would be the usual treatment. Equally, requesting semi-protection seems a little harsh when there is only one awkward customer at present. Do you have any suggestions? - Sitush ( talk) 19:02, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the email and for looking out for privacy. Were you purely making a notification, or were you wanting me to do something? Rereading the email, I'm not sure what you meant.
By the way, I must disagree with a statement you made up above — masters' theses are peer-reviewed and sometimes cited academically, so unless there's a reason to dispute the standards of the university in question (e.g. it's nearly a diploma mill), they really do qualify as WP:RS.

Thank you for your message below. I understand. I don't even know the guy. I work at the Government and actually have a conscience. This is sick and you are proliferating it. I am not writing in a glowing manner. The last edit is all referenced. Look here to see the hatchet job they ordered on the only decent worker in tomatoes - http://articles.latimes.com/keyword/sk-foods Over 20 lame articles - the worst of all - "Does nude photo of jailed SK Foods co-founder's girlfriend -- holding tomatoes -- qualify as produce porn?" http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/money_co/2010/05/sk-foods-scott-salyer-naked-picture-girlfriend-tomato.html. They are enjoying Salyer's money! I hope they get caught. Possibly you could assist with the edit and just include the basic info from the donation reference it tells a bit about the company in a short paragraph. Why does Wikipedia assume the LA Times does not lie?
You also need to read WP:UNDUE. A Wikipedia article about a relatively minor company should not be filled with every last detail about it, and should not be used to push a personal point of view about how wonderful the company is and to blame other people for everything bad that happened to it. You clearly have a close connection with the company, and must stop adding to the article in this glowing, praising manner. Now please, wait for the results of the discussion at WP:Articles for deletion/SK Foods, and add your comments there if you have any.

Hello, I noticed that you had warned Vineet Nayar1 for "attacking" another user. He replied to you saying that what would he do when even after providing references his edits are not welcome. You answer was that, it should be discussed in the Talk page.
But what if the Talk page is hogged by a single person and a few others and this person refuses to allow any edit that doesn't fit his POV?
I am seeing this on the talk page of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nair
A user is being dismissive of any and every suggestion that doesn't fit his/her POV. Meanwhile, the article has turned in a horrible mess and nothing anywhere near what such an article would be in general. I guess you would agree that if an article on wikipedia is totally deviating from what people in general say and is written in say Encyclopaedia Brittanica, then something is problematic.
I think Vineet Nayar1 has given upon on that article and soon I will. It's no wonder so many people are leaving wikipedia.

The complaint is really about User:Sitush about whom many have complained in the Talk:Nair page but it seems like it's the people who complain who have been banned. Oh well, I guess my time here is limited too.
But it gets frustrating when a user hogs an article and anybody native to Kerala can see the bad motives behind what is a slanderous article on a whole community.

See this on my talk page. They have just self-reverted but if it is them then I guess the "B" and "I" of RBI still apply. You did some admin stuff around the time of their ban last year. - Sitush ( talk) 12:04, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

For the record. This is not vandalism but a genuine comment because it has been repeatedly thrown back at me that User:Sitush is not an Indian like it is some kind of an achievement. I do think User:Sitush is South Asian and uses a classic Indianism.
Btw, you two are good buddies. It's nice to see wikipedian admins maintaining neutrality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.231.65.124 ( talk) 18:11, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
So, where is this "appropriate place"? Because I did ask you once before and you didn't bother to give me an answer perhaps out of concern for your buddy. I clearly have a complaint against him as well as you. In your case, it's for jumping at his mere allegation to semi-protect a page and stifle debate. Complaints against him seem to be legendary though the worst is that he is turning wikipedia pages into Orientalist pamphlets. But hey! He is not Indian. So he must be neutral. Even he claims that he is not Indian like its an achievement.
So, yes. Please tell me where this "appropriate place" for complaining is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.231.65.124 ( talk) 19:28, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
This "user", after being repeatedly warning about WP:COPYVIO issues, has insisted in his "quest" and written the following summary in this article (please see here http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Rapha%C3%ABl_Varane&diff=496799798&oldid=496646077)!

Invitation from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their July 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on July 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on July 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to eliminate the articles tagged in April, May and June 2011 from the queue and to complete all requests placed before the end of June. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 6 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in April–June 2011", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Hello. The troll/vandal Starkiller88 that you once blocked ( [41]) is back at it. Since then, he has started a harrassment campaign on my talk page and introduced false information in my user page: [42]. His messages range from pleads to "redemption" [43], claims a compulsion to vandalize [44], and lately, blaming me for infecting his computer with a computer virus/trojan [45]. Today he escalated with personal attacks: [46], [47]. He also does edits under IP numbers starting with 115. I filed an ANI ( [48]) but I figure the process may not be needed as it is redundant and repetitive. Thank you, - BatteryIncluded ( talk) 15:46, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

This "user" (please see "contributions" here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/67.165.80.40) has several sick edits in which they insult North Carolina Tar Heels. Of course, due to the nature of the IP address, it may be used by several people; interestingly enough, when i reverted them in Jesús Navas, they "responded" like this (see here http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Jes%C3%BAs_Navas&diff=498676294&oldid=498507335).

Hi there, I'm still planning on doing a rewrite of Sharia in the United States, which I fully expect to be WP:TNT'd. I had a question, though, which I couldn't find an answer to at Template:Old AfD or Template:Old AfD multi. Assuming the article as it exists is deleted, should I feel any sort of obligation to link the new version to the old AfD? It seems like it would mostly just poison the perception of the new article, but I'm not sure if it's better to disclose. In the absence of a specific guideline, I'd happily take your opinion. Best, BDD ( talk) 19:47, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Could you kindly look at the history on Kallar (caste), then look at User Talk:Kallarmagan, note that Sitush gave notification of sanctions, the user continued, I gave a final warning, and now the user has again continued to change said article from a vaguely neutral, sourced one into a typical pile of unsourced POV, and then consider whether or not it's appropriate to enforce discretionary sanctions?

Deleting all them bad Files and Pages, then blocking that user. ~ ⇒TomTom N00 @ 09:36, 1 April 2012 (UTC) |
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on User:Boing! said Zebedee requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Yash t 101 :) 10:09, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

The reason is clearly evident. As far as that particular page is concerned, it is talking about an empire that existed before atleast 1900 AD. I cannot see how pakistan existed during that time. History of Pakistan should rather include pages related to that region, from 1947 to present, when it was really created. Hope this explains the reason to you somehow.

If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks! Note: The drive started April 1, and you can
sign up anytime! |

Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{ GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May.

Does the new article Central List of Other Backward Classes for the State of Andhra Pradesh really serve any useful purpose? It is a straight copy from the official list. That list is available online and is regularly cited in articles, and the content changes from time to time. If we are going to start adding articles based entirely on a single primary source then our count will grow dramatically. I do know that the creator likes to do this sort of thing and, alas, after umpteen years of creating stuff, still seems not to understand basics such as overlinking, time-sensitivity (use of the {{As of}} template) etc. - Sitush ( talk) 09:30, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

He then followed me to [ here an article I had created and was bringing up to GA class. His sock User:Repitile1 First edit was to revert me [12] on an article which since being unblocked he has not touched. As Highstakes00 the majority of his edits are in areas were I edit, not really an issue except all he does on these intersecting articles is revert me [13] [14] [15] [16] or just cast his votes against me in any RFC I may have started [17] [18] [19] obviously for no reason other than to just oppose me.

As I have pointed at at WP:ANI#Sri Lanka, you made a mistake in blocking User:Distributor108--the vandalism (adding of his name all over the article)--was done by an entirely different editor ( User: Joelcres, who I assume is a throwaway sock of one of the other editors on that article). I've indeffed Joelcres. In the meantime, though, other editors at ANI have agreed with the more general block based on the disruptive attitude. It would help if you could comment there and/or at Distributor108's talk page as to whether or not, given the fact that the vandalism was not committed by this user, you still would have blocked indefinitely for other problems, I'd appreciate it.

Greetings, there was, at one point, a rap group in Newfoundland that rapped in the local dialect (a mix of Candian and Cork Irish). At various points in 2006-2007 (when the group was current) folks presumably tried to make the usual "garage band" articles, which were repeatedly deleted, and eventually a mod (who last contributed in 2009) "salted the earth" to prevent future articles.
Turns out that not only amateur-linguist-MV but also no-crap serious sociologists found the band interesting, and wrote about it in a few journals. I've taken the available bits and made User:MatthewVanitas/Gazeebow Unit. Is there any chance you could take a squint, and if appropriate "un-salt" the earth so this draft can move to articlespace? If she goes, I'll also try to track down the band and get a promo shot for CreativeCommons.

This is the second Barnstar that I am leaving for an administrator because of your help yesterday. Thank you for being objective yesterday on the administrator talk about Asia Food Recipe and TravelFox. I took the day to reflect on the situation and I will be improving the other articles that I mentioned ( AfroFoodtv.com Cookin' with Coolio Epicurious FoodPair RecipeBridge Yummly) as opposed to recommending them for deletion. After all, if I can make them notable, they will be a good inclusion to Wikipedia. No sense deleting content that should not remain (which they probably shouldn't at this point) if there is a chance to improve the article. Thanks again.

I could use your help as an admin for The World Tomorrow page. A newly created page had been deliberately configured to trump and overtake the original article for a copyrighted and trademarked program of the same name that is in current production. Someone in favor or a supporter of embattled Wikileaks founder Julian Assange did the damage, created a page for him and his show of the infringing title, and has worked hard to push the original page out of existance on Wikipedia. The original page now reads The World Tomorrow (1934) Chrisian television program 1934-1994 -- which gives the false impression the original is off the air and out of production. Please assist.

Since it isn't particularly disruptive at this point, I'm guessing we just don't stop feeding the troll and leave it alone unless it escalates? This isn't a call to action, just an educational request and self-check.

Invitation from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their May 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on May 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on May 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goal for the drive will be to eliminate January, February, and March 2011 from the queue. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa, and Stfg. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

I am the author of the Pulse Recording wiki page, that you have deleted without any forewarning on April 24th. Pulse Recording is a privately owned, US music publishing company, not selling a product or a service, and does not accept unsolicited requests. This wikipedia page was not created in anyway for promotion or advertising of the company, but solely a listing of the company's clients and it's published stories. I received a note to make in-line citations to improve the article, which I completed last week. I am happy to make continued improvement to the article so that it passes your necessary standards, and falls in accordance with all of the other US music publishing companies that have wiki pages, and aren't being accused of "unambiguous advertising or promotion." I ask that you please re-consider the speedy deletion of this page, and advise the steps I need to take to get it back up. Thank you kindly ( Jpoindex ( talk) 21:43, 24 April 2012 (UTC))

It has moved to my talk page, after I closed the ANI [28] as being a content dispute for No Country for Old Men (film). Ring Cinema and JTBX, both of which have multiple blocks for warring in their past, RC in particular. There may be others involved indirectly. There are a couple things in the histories that bug me, RC has a lot of activity reverting on the article, maybe ownish, maybe just protecive. I will let you draw you own conclusions on J. I tried to get them to go to DR, and have it at a low to medium boil, but something is setting off my Spidey sense, but I don't know what I'm missing. I also invited a 3rd party they both seem to like to the article talk page, but too soon for a reply. Maybe it does need to go back to ANI, maybe I was right and DR should handle it (even though they seem more interested in bickering). I'm not sure. They have also involved EdJohnston on his talk page, which has been about as ineffective. They are both badgering each other in talk and reverting, carefully staying under the threshold. RC seems to have a friend or two, but I'm not sure if that is because his points are more valid or just been around more. I'm not expecting you to jump in, just asking advice. Then again, if you think the best solution IS to jump in, I will not be offended in anyway, and would welcome it. You aren't going to hurt my pride, I just want a solution, and we are reaching the limits of my previous experience, so it is time to learn instead. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 00:51, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

I would like to report the user Historyfeelings... who is engaging in a continuing vandalism on several Wikipedia articles. I had several talks with him, after I tried to undo his vandalism.
The user is vandalising three different articles by replacing every word “Souf” with the word “Sakib” without any attention to the context of his vandalism or the factual aspect of the information he is changing. What drawn my attention to what he was doing that one of the Jordanian newspapers “Addustour” in their 05/05/2011, who themselves engaged in plagiarism after copying the Wikipedia article “in Arabic and publishing it as an article of their own. By doing this they just added publicity to the vandalised information the user and re-used the information without even mentioning that the information was originally vandalised by the user Historyfeelings.
I just tracked his Vandalism.....
- on article "Jerash" the user Historyfeelings vandalism started on 04:30, 24 February 2012. In this change he/she added Sakib and then started simply replacing "Souf" with "Sakib" just for the intention of vandalism.
- on article "Jordan" the user Historyfeelings vandalism started on 00:48, 10 April 2012. In this change he/she just replaced the photo for the olive farms in "Souf" with a photo for the mountains of Sakib, which is in fact for the purpose of vandalism as the picture was listed in irrelevant section as the mountain has no farming. This was just for the intention of vandalism.
- on the article جرش (Arabic) the user Historyfeelings started his vandalism on 04:13، 2 يناير 2012 (January) by by adding "Sakib" to every "Souf" word in the article. Later on the 04:24، 24 فبراير 2012 (February) after the user engaged in several editing war with several other users, he simply started replacing "Souf" with "Sakib" in every word in the article.
The user Historyfeelings has manged to obtain the status of Autopatrolled unlawfully.... Most of his article are vandalism and most of them violates Wikipedia policy as they are written solely to glorify his/her unknown tribe and village which is banned by wikipedia regulations. In addition, he/she created a number of articles which simply repeat it self to get the status of Autopatrolled user. He/she only changing the spelling and the titles e.g. the family of Ayasreh, the tribe of Ayasreh, The Clan of Ayasreh, Ayasreh, etc. With his village he/she just creating articles with different name e.g. village of Sakib, Town of Sakib, City of Sakbib, Sakibe, etc. I checked the requirements and it states that it should be 50 new articles with a considerable authenticity and credibility, which is simple not the case with all her/his articles. I am really loosing faith in Wikipedia editing policy, and I believe something should change to stop similar cases Thank you for your help I would appreciate your intervention.
Historyfeeling is now abusing his Autopatrolled privillages in wikipedia Arabic. He/she prevent anybody from editing the Arabic copy of Jerash Article, where he also replaced Souf" with another "Sakib".

Hey, BsZ, can you take a look at User:Mediajaw/sandbox? It looks to be the same copyrighted content in the article Warren Taylor - Noted American Artist, but I don't really want to tag it myself, since I'm (for some reason) worried it will look like harassment or hounding or some other unsavory term. (Also, I'm kinda worried that the editor just isn't getting it.) Thanks! Writ Keeper ⚇ ♔ 19:51, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
I read your reasoning for removing the CSD tag and I had a question about it. You reasoning was that the band had recorded 2 studio albums, but according to WP:BAND the only thing I could see about recording an album was that it had to be on a major label, or a major indie label, which I don't see any notation of. I checked the album as well and it was a self-released album, not from a label. I'll wait for a response, but it looks like this band self-recorded an album, and there isn't any notability to be met. Let me know what you think. Wildthing61476 ( talk) 20:29, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

I reviewed, Wikipedia policy regarding multiple accounts.Wikipedia allows multiple accounts as long as they are not used for Sockpuppet and I believe it is not the case with my accounts
Yes I have more than one account in wikipedia. I created Banimustafa account in 2006 and Wakwakwiki in 2011.
I created the new account Wakwakwiki to conceal my personal identity for safety and security, as the first account was pointing to my surname. I used the old account Banimustafa, just to make a point about my contribution to the article Jerash, which the user HistoryFeelings was trying to vandalize since some months ago by replacing Souf with Sakeb, while keeping the same words which I used for describing the souf role in the development of modern Jerash.
The my accounts were there much longer than the dispute with HistoryFeelings and that is a proof that it is not a case of Sockpuppet. If I was using them to support my editing war with HistoryFeelings, I will not use the same words as you described in the case and in this case I would not even be involved in any talks. My defense is verifiable by checking the history of the article, which prove that I never been involved in Sockpuppet.
My contibution to the article in 2006 is described by the edit history of the article:
While my try to stop Historyfeelings was in 2012
However, if you check the history of the recent edit war with HistoryFeelings using the article history you will note that I did not use my old account Banimustafa in editing the article, which prove that my good intention. I used the account Banimustafa in the complains and the discussion, just to make a point that I was the editor of the information which Historyfeelings was vandalizing, by replacing the word Souf with sakib and that what made me angry as I spent many hours and days in developing the article from its beginning the user Historyfeelings.
In addition, the user Historyfeelings was in fact the one who was doing Sockpuppetting using different IP addresses in the editing war as described below:
The edit history of the article also showing the user involvement in several editing wars before mine, while I never been involved in such wars as showing by history of the article edit, neither using the old account Banimustafa, or using the new account Wakwakwiki.
I hope this explain the matter. Best Regards Banimustafa ( talk) 12:27, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

I have unblocked the user and left a comment that I would like you to read. It is plausible that the person is unrelated to the other, and looking over the different IPs used, I have more of an idea of who is a sock and who is not, but i'm going to take each appeal as it comes. I just wanted to point out that canvassing offwiki, and meatpuppeting are blockable offenses and as the meatpuppet policy says "For the purposes of dispute resolution, the Arbitration Committee issued a decision in 2005 stating "whether a party is one user with sockpuppets or several users with similar editing habits they may be treated as one user with sockpuppets."" which makes me not required to make a positive sock determination to issue a block. Looking it over I do agree it was not the best block, as the technical information did not add up and the attacks were not as blatant, so that's why I did unblock. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 01:25, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

It is less than 24 hours since you took a look at the Redaloes problem.

Could you please investigate Historyfeelings for sockpuppetry. Please the contributions made to the articles "Jordan" and "Jerash" for using different IP addresses.
Historyfeelings is involved in IP sockpuppetry using not only two, but three IP addresses in addition to his/her user account. The first IP address is 46.185.160.11, which he used in the edit war in "Jerash" article and the IP address 46.185.138.244 in the edit war on "Jordan" article to evade his/her account blocking.
These two different IP addressees in addition, to a third IP address 94.249.93.242, which he used to communicate with you, while he was blocked. please see the changes to the two articles made in during the edit war.

As I am trying to avoid edit waring with Historyfeelings (H.F), do you suggest a mechanism, where a third party can check the references used in the article and validates the claims made by the two parties based on the references cited in the article. From my side, I am happy to provide additional verifiable references upon request to prove my point of view.
In "Jordan" article I think the issue is much simpler, I do not mind if Historyfeelings add his own picture "A mountain in Sakib" provided that he/she stop deleting the picture which I added about "olive farms in Souf". However, I suggest that his/her picture to be added to more relevant section in the article as the section is about agriculture, while his picture is more sensible to be added to nature or tourism.

Hi Boing!; I'm asking you and Salvio giuliano, as admins who sometimes handle India caste-related issues, to review an edit war at Nambudiri. Two users, one of whom I have a well known on-wiki relationship with, were edit warring. I fully protected the article for 24 hours to stop the edit warring, but it may be that blocks are appropriate (both editors crossed 3RR). While I felt that protecting the article was safe under WP:INVOLVED, I don't think I can make a fair blocking decision. Thanks for your assistance. Qwyrxian ( talk) 14:55, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
WP:TLDR time, sorry, but you did ask ...
The problems relate to both sources but are most significant regarding Pullapilly. For example, the first insertion includes
According to historians, Nambudiris migration to Kerala started in considerable numbers during the period of brahminic revival inaugurated by Sankarachararya (788-820) and continued by Kumarilambhattan, Sanbandhamoorthi, Parasuraman and many others. However, brahmanic influence in South India dated as far back as 1st century AD as there are numerous mentions of it in Sangham Literature
whilst Pullapilly says (p. 28)
The Namboothiris started to arrive in Kerala in considerable numbers during the period of the Brahminic revival inaugurated by Sri Sankaracharya (788-820) and continued by Kumarilambhattan, Sanbandhamoorthi, Parasuraman and many others. Brahminic influence in South India dated as far back as 1st century AD as there are numerous mentions of it in the Tamil Sagham literature of between the first and fourth centuries of the Christian era.
The same edit also says
Socially, they effected a complete transformation in many ways. Introduction of the caste system with the Nambudiris ...
whilst Pullapilly says (p. 29)
Socially, they effected a complete transformation in various ways. Introduction of the caste system was one.
Some of the other bits are close paraphrases.
The stuff is reinstated here, along with Indic scripts that had also been previously removed for reasons explained to AshLey. I could have fixed the copyvio but there was no point: a piece based on Pullapilly already existed at Caste system in Kerala, which I subsequently introduced and modified to suit, starting with this edit. AshLey then removed that & inserted some close paraphrasing as a replacement, with a quite bizarre edit summary of "weasel removed, exact copy of texts from copy righted source removed". And so it carried on ...
The close paraphrasing additions were better than the outright copyvio but completely unnecessary given the copy/paste from Caste system in Kerala. I think that probably AshLey was just determined "not to lose" by this stage. I had templated them and then posted several further messages at User_talk:Ashley_thomas80#May_2012 before getting a response there, although AshLey did take a pop on my talk page with an inappropriate warning etc. - Sitush ( talk) 17:16, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
I am afraid that a part of the issue is that this involvement between myself and the other party extends beyond one article. AshLey has a lot of useful knowledge and I really do not want to see this thing end in a bad way. The knowledge etc just needs to be channeled.
Trying to view things from the other side of the fence, one of the problems with these articles is something that has been raised by several admins over at least the last twelve months: many of the articles are contentious, often in the systemic sense, and although there are a growing number of admins who are prepared to take a look at the numerous issues without becoming involved, the net result tends to be that they have a personal involvement with either myself or a couple of others. This then causes issues such as that which are stated at the start of this thread, which is fundamentally one of being accused of cabalism. It is a rocky road and I appreciate that travelling it can be awkward. I think that it would be beneficial to inform Ashley thomas80 of this discussion but perhaps it would be better coming from someone other than me? - Sitush ( talk) 00:25, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the invitation EdJohnston and thanks for the guidance Qwyrxian. First of all, I admit that the phrasing of my contributions, closely followed the source, at least in one sentence, but I have observed the same practice with many established writers. For example, in the book of Harold Coward (Hindu Christian Dialogue), a few important points are almost the same in text and phrase as in the book of Duncan Forrester. Let'us analyse the present version of Wikipedia article Nambudiri:
But in the source, Pullapilly narrates the theory as:Cyriac Pullapilly has noted a theory that the Nambudiris are associated by some with the development of the caste system in Kerala...
This style of presentation fails to convey the readers of the actual information. In order to avoid such misguiding narration, I had to follow the source so closely in some sentences....The other theory hold that it was the Namboothiri Brahmins who introduced the caste system in Kerala...
where as the source mentions "in considerable numbers". Namudiris are less than 0.5 percent of Kerala population, and this "large influx" is misguiding. Moreover, the inference from source is that the migration was a continuing process and reached a climax between 7th and 10th centuries. Here also our article fails follow the source....there was a large influx of these people from around the 8th-century when they acted as priests.
But the source only says the civilized population of the area had become Budhists by the "influence" of missionaries. Here, I'm afraid, the usage of the word "conversion" is misleading in the Indian context. Moreover, the source in Page:26 says that there were some Syrian Christians in Kerala, who were non-aboriginals and here too the article is bit misleading and incomplete.At the time of their arrival the non-aboriginal local population had been converted to Buddhism by missionaries who had come from the north of India and from Ceylon.
But, it is incomplete and fails to explain how?The Brahmins used their symbiotic relationship with the invading forces to assert their beliefs and position.
But the last clause is not inferred anywhere in the source. However source explains many vulgar tricks of Nambudiris in order to "drive away" the Budhists.-- AshLey Msg 12:25, 12 May 2012 (UTC)Buddhist temples and monasteries were either destroyed or taken over for use in Hindu practices, thus undermining the ability of the Buddhists to propagate their beliefs.

Since you protected the thing, just a note to let you know that I have absolutely ripped into Rajput during the last few minutes. The problems (few footnotes/big and obscure list of sources) had been tagged since July 2010 and I tried to move things along a little between July and December by tagging for specific cites/unreferenced sections etc. Nothing changed, so I've binned the tagged stuff and we'll have to start over. Amazingly, this crock of crap currently shows ratings ranging from 4.3 to 4.7. Clear evidence, in my mind, that this satisfied the vanity of a readership even though it was hopeless as an encyclopedic article. It still is, in many respects. - Sitush ( talk) 19:27, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors
May 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter
Participation: Out of 49 people signed up for this drive so far, 26 have copy-edited at least one article. It's a smaller group than last drive, but we're making good progress. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive, largely due to the efforts of Lfstevens and the others on the leaderboard. Thanks to all. We have reduced our target group of articles—January, February, and March 2011—by over half, and it looks like we will achieve that goal.

This edit is the latest insertion by User:Chauhan1192, despite an ongoing discussion, despite being reverted by others and despite quite a lengthy series of messages on their talk page. I have some doubts about the "newness" of the contributor because the pattern rings a bell somewhere but, regardless of that, this needs input from someone other than me. - Sitush ( talk) 17:13, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi,
I recieved a rather long message on my talk page that I believe may be a result of stho002 emailing people on Wikipedia to give them his point of view on topics of interest to him. If I understand correectly this type of behavior may be in breach of his edit block. user:Dyanega is a specialist in insects and has never had any interest in turtles. He suddenly appears on this subject when stho002 has been banned. He has made many of the same unfounded accusations that stho002 made against me some 18 months ago, issues that were investigated at the time by admins and I was found to have done nothing wrong. At the time user:ZooPro gave me a precautionary warning to ensure I was careful about wp:NPOV. This was history though. I would appreciate it if this could be checked on. cheers, Faendalimas talk 23:55, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
Hello Sir I have created here yesterday a page related karma kingdom.Karma kingdom is first game based on Indian Mythology and supports to charity.Here is my question that why have you deleted this page.

Hello.
I would like to kindly request that page be undeleted and moved into the article space (at Carla Medina). Notability appeared to have been asserted, so that does not appear to be a problem. The other IP editor who created the page probably should have gone about the creation via the appropriate process, Wikipedia:Articles for creation. However, since this page appears to be legitimate, I figured this request was worthwhile. Please get back to me. Thanks. 76.254.122.124 ( talk) 19:43, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
I have just noted that the user Historyfeelings is also trying to promote Sakib in the article " Jerash Governorate". on the same fashion as the article "Jerash" and "Jordan". Please notice the difference in the article before Historyfeelings changes and compare it to the version after Historyfeelings made his promotion campaign to sakib.
The main picture in the article which was showing the map of the governorate is now replaced with a picture from sakib. The picture from Souf (as always) was replaced by a picture of Sakib (of course after deleting the legend which was describing that the picture was taken in Souf). Then, two pictures of sakib was added to take over the article after re-arranging other pictures in the article and make them less important....even the picture of Jerash which is the capital of the governorate was replaced with a picture from Sakib. This is what happened in "Jerash" article and also what happened in "Jordan" article .... and it is now happening in "Jerash Governorate" article for the same purpose.

Hi, I want to bring your attention to the suspicious contribution made by anonymous IP addresses which I think they are either socket puppets or hired crowds.
First: the English language was made in the contributions was made intentionally bad as it appear in the style of writing and the spelling mistakes
Second : the contributions obviously support one side. Please note what the IP address 94.249.72.86 said "Please note the sentence written by i translate google person HF writ conclusin above i agree with he". Also note what the IP address 46.185.141.158 said "So I do agree with the above conclusion" which was referring to the conclusion repeated by History feelings three times in the discussion which was an attempt to force a resolution.
Third: The IP address 94.249.72.86 who signed with the name "mohammad marazeq" tried to act neutral he said "i not agree this artecle.... all villagge was seed for modern jarash not sakib or souf and jarash build by all people and they live in jarash not only souf..... there are no center for mirad region in anytime and it is raymun keth sakib nahlh debin burma jazzazh . mohammad marazeq - jarash" Then he said " i translate google person HF writ conclusin above i agree with he". Which is obviously an attempt to make a different point.
Fourth: The IP address 46.185.141.158 also used exactly the same argument made by the user Historyfeelings in the discussion of the Arabic version of the article "Besides the whole region including Jerash itself was a part of Ajlun district during the Ottoman rule". I am happy to provide the tarnslation upon request.
Fifth: Both IP addresses left there names the IP address 94.249.72.86 "mohammad marazeq" and IP address 46.185.141.158 "Ahmed Smadi".
Sixth: Both IP addresses commented on the same point regarding my user name and my surname.
Seventh: This article is six year old and no body changed the article or suggested any changes regarding the disputed statements until history feelings made the changes to the article.
Could you please investigate the matter. Regards Banimustafa ( talk) 04:16, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

I created this article 5 days back (when didn't had that experience of wiki, though 5 days sound too short, I read a lot). It was my mistake that I just copied and modified material from another article and made a new one out of it. So at the AfD as I m the author, I have requested its deletion under G7. It cannot be redirected as in future, there will be an proper article about it and also it will not be a proper step if redirected. So now can it be deleted under G7? → TheSpecialUser Talk Contributions* 14:20, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi Zebedee,
I'm new to the Wiki but I believe I need to contest my page deleation. I posted a bio on Naya Arbiter that you deleted because because it seemed to be promotion. Ms Arbiter is a public figure and has contributed to American History in the Regan Administration's War on Drugs. My bio attempted to approach her material as factual. The Organizations she is affiliated with are established non-profits and are mentioned to expand upon her scope of influence. Additionally I listed several publications she has authored and links to existing Wiki's as supportive documentation.
Please reply briefly as to the comment or statement that offended you.

There's a unblock request on Starkiller88's talk page on a provision that a ban on editing anything related about Fobos-Grunt in any way (no discussion, no articles, and any topics relating to this mission). This is due to the fact that that was the first time he added "something coherent" relating to the mission on the Living Interplanetary Flight Experiment article, as stated in the talk page, and BatteryIncluded praised him, saying "Thank you". He's accepted it. You can hope that his indefinite block will be lifted soon so that he could not repeat the same disruptive editing to avoid vandalism and trolling. 119.40.118.34 ( talk) 03:14, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Hey, BsZ, I see that you made some comments on RRiegger's talk page about his I Love Chile articles. Well, he's made it again; it still looks to be pretty non-notable (A7-worthy), but it looks like he's put some serious effort into toning down the promotional language, so I don't want to mark it for deletion quite yet.

I am a little disappointed at your comment in the recent discussion at RfA, relating to repeasted negative comments posted my Malleus Fatuorum. You may have perhaps not have appreciated that my suggestion of a block was not immediate, but was contingent upon his continuing disruption. You may feel that his earlier comments (not his question or his !vote, obviously) were wholly acceptable. I see them as getting very close to disruption, especially in the light of his previous interraction on this topic with ArbCom. Clearly, however, in the light of the dicussion, both for and against, which my comment has generated, it would not be appropriate for me to take any further action. You will note that I did not, imtentionally, !vote in the RfA. -- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 19:32, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
Please do not lose your self-confidence. I have, as you know, in the past supported you and am happy to continue to do so.

Hello, Boing! I wonder if you would do me a favour. I speedily deleted EthosCE as promotional. The author has challenged the deletion, and you can see discussion of it at User talk:Zendoodles. I still think that the article was promotional enough to justify speedy deletion, but it was not outright blatant spam, so I wonder if you would be willing to give a second opinion? If you disagree with me then please restore the article. JamesBWatson ( talk) 10:03, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
For example, "EthosCE is a learning management system designed by healthcare clinicians and developers for the administration of continuing medical education activities" really doesn't tell me what it is. The first sentence should be more like "EthosCE is a computer software package produced by DLC Solutions, and is used for producing medical educational websites" (or whatever it actually does - "the administration of continuing medical education activities" is marketing speak and really doesn't tell me anything).
I'd also get rid of the version-by-version development history, as that's really not appropriate for an encyclopedia. And maybe leave out technical details (eg what interfaces it provides - encyclopedia readers aren't interested in that), and perhaps say more about who uses it instead? There's a list of examples, and that's something that might make reasonable non-promotional narrative.
But yes, I wouldn't go for straight undeletion into article space - I would suggest userfy. (PS: I'm off to the Liverpool Wiki meet now - I may be gone some time). -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 10:56, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

There is a slow edit war going on at Tirunelveli, involving myself and User:182.72.180.46. I did try to communicate - "Look, either provide a reliable source and explain why you think that the point about being the sixth largest city is important, or you stop your edit warring. Please note that you are also going to have to define "largest city". Sitush (talk) 18:18, 31 May 2012 (UTC)" is a part of my addition to the EW template, but this contributor appears not to be responding.
I have just noticed that in conjunction with their repeated reinstatement of an unsourced statement regarding Tirunelveli being the 6th largest city, they are also removing a sourced statement for the same claim at Vellore. Since they appear to edit in small doses, reporting this to WP:EW is pointless as a 24 hour block would be the usual treatment. Equally, requesting semi-protection seems a little harsh when there is only one awkward customer at present. Do you have any suggestions? - Sitush ( talk) 19:02, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the email and for looking out for privacy. Were you purely making a notification, or were you wanting me to do something? Rereading the email, I'm not sure what you meant.
By the way, I must disagree with a statement you made up above — masters' theses are peer-reviewed and sometimes cited academically, so unless there's a reason to dispute the standards of the university in question (e.g. it's nearly a diploma mill), they really do qualify as WP:RS.

Thank you for your message below. I understand. I don't even know the guy. I work at the Government and actually have a conscience. This is sick and you are proliferating it. I am not writing in a glowing manner. The last edit is all referenced. Look here to see the hatchet job they ordered on the only decent worker in tomatoes - http://articles.latimes.com/keyword/sk-foods Over 20 lame articles - the worst of all - "Does nude photo of jailed SK Foods co-founder's girlfriend -- holding tomatoes -- qualify as produce porn?" http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/money_co/2010/05/sk-foods-scott-salyer-naked-picture-girlfriend-tomato.html. They are enjoying Salyer's money! I hope they get caught. Possibly you could assist with the edit and just include the basic info from the donation reference it tells a bit about the company in a short paragraph. Why does Wikipedia assume the LA Times does not lie?
You also need to read WP:UNDUE. A Wikipedia article about a relatively minor company should not be filled with every last detail about it, and should not be used to push a personal point of view about how wonderful the company is and to blame other people for everything bad that happened to it. You clearly have a close connection with the company, and must stop adding to the article in this glowing, praising manner. Now please, wait for the results of the discussion at WP:Articles for deletion/SK Foods, and add your comments there if you have any. And take this as your last warning - if you carry in like this, you will be blocked from editing. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:47, 9 June 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by StoneforGoliath ( talk • contribs)

Yo Zeb. I wonder could you possibly have a quick look here: [39]. I'm not sure if it can be classed as vandalism. I have reverted twice already. So has another editor. Many thanks. Martinevans123 ( talk) 14:50, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

I really don't have an opinion, but that doesn't really matter — I blocked Pantsaklan two months ago for two weeks. You'd do better to ask JamesBWatson, who levied the currently-in-place indefinite block. Nyttend ( talk) 17:27, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

The source which you removed is the only reliable source which can be found for the assertion that the boat is "currently moored at Clarence Dock, Leeds, England". I have, accordingly, removed that assertion as unsourced. Regards, TransporterMan ( TALK) 19:50, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Uboater has posted to my user talk page under a different IP address, see User_talk:TransporterMan#Royal_Armouries.

Ah! Sitush tried to get me blocked through you as well by using a spurious allegation (which was acknowledged as a spurious allegation by Savio later)
User:Sitush, why? Why do you do this? Can't accept disagreements from others? Want to convert wikipedia into Situshpedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.231.65.124 ( talk) 18:06, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi Boing. I think I may have discovered a massive case of COI. In an article on a draft proposal to build another Central Mall to AfD, I discover that the user is also the creator of these articles, and has posted hundreds of edits to other Central malls and closely related major Thai businesses who all have holdings in eachother.
See the contribs. and the long list of deleted files. I also asked for another file to be deleted at commons of the same kind but which the user claims not to have been the uploader.
The user admits to being a shareholder in major Thai businesses
I would like your take on all this as I'm not sure which noticeboard, if any, it should be reported to for further investigation. Thanks for your help. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 12:09, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
It clearly says on my page that only I can replace it. I have done it twice and you keep removing it. I have told you that Transporterman and I have sorted things between us. I have no intention of editing anything again exept for beurocratic people like you. I have no intention of apolojising, espesialy when I have had libelus things writen and infered against me. I have withdrawn the thret of legal action and stoped disrupting things. All I want is the page restoring and for you and PamD to keep away from it. This is surely not much to ask if it stops me coming on with 10 ips and identitys each hour and desimating things.

Hello, I noticed that you had warned Vineet Nayar1 for "attacking" another user. He replied to you saying that what would he do when even after providing references his edits are not welcome. You answer was that, it should be discussed in the Talk page.
But what if the Talk page is hogged by a single person and a few others and this person refuses to allow any edit that doesn't fit his POV?
I am seeing this on the talk page of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nair
A user is being dismissive of any and every suggestion that doesn't fit his/her POV. Meanwhile, the article has turned in a horrible mess and nothing anywhere near what such an article would be in general. I guess you would agree that if an article on wikipedia is totally deviating from what people in general say and is written in say Encyclopaedia Brittanica, then something is problematic.
I think Vineet Nayar1 has given upon on that article and soon I will. It's no wonder so many people are leaving wikipedia.

The complaint is really about User:Sitush about whom many have complained in the Talk:Nair page but it seems like it's the people who complain who have been banned. Oh well, I guess my time here is limited too.
But it gets frustrating when a user hogs an article and anybody native to Kerala can see the bad motives behind what is a slanderous article on a whole community.
I had noticed the changes about 7 months ago but I got so frustrated today that I finally decided to respond for the first time on wikipedia. Until now I have only been a reader here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.231.144.44 ( talk) 12:15, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

This "user" has returned in Luis Enrique Martínez García, gluing every sentence in storyline, removing clubs in box.

I know you are busy, so I'm doing it in sections, but adding some links and giving you the results once they are in. You can ignore any section that is marked incomplete for now. This should make it easier and faster for you to review, and most will be as expected, and you only need to comment where it is needed. One section, number 4 and 5, is ready whenever you want to review, but there is no hurry. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 01:04, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

See this on my talk page. They have just self-reverted but if it is them then I guess the "B" and "I" of RBI still apply. You did some admin stuff around the time of their ban last year. - Sitush ( talk) 12:04, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

For the record. This is not vandalism but a genuine comment because it has been repeatedly thrown back at me that User:Sitush is not an Indian like it is some kind of an achievement. I do think User:Sitush is South Asian and uses a classic Indianism.
Btw, you two are good buddies. It's nice to see wikipedian admins maintaining neutrality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.231.65.124 ( talk) 18:11, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
So, where is this "appropriate place"? Because I did ask you once before and you didn't bother to give me an answer perhaps out of concern for your buddy. I clearly have a complaint against him as well as you. In your case, it's for jumping at his mere allegation to semi-protect a page and stifle debate. Complaints against him seem to be legendary though the worst is that he is turning wikipedia pages into Orientalist pamphlets. But hey! He is not Indian. So he must be neutral. Even he claims that he is not Indian like its an achievement.
So, yes. Please tell me where this "appropriate place" for complaining is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.231.65.124 ( talk) 19:28, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Invitation from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their July 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on July 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on July 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to eliminate the articles tagged in April, May and June 2011 from the queue and to complete all requests placed before the end of June. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 6 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in April–June 2011", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Hello. The troll/vandal Starkiller88 that you once blocked ( [41]) is back at it. Since then, he has started a harrassment campaign on my talk page and introduced false information in my user page: [42]. His messages range from pleads to "redemption" [43], claims a compulsion to vandalize [44], and lately, blaming me for infecting his computer with a computer virus/trojan [45]. Today he escalated with personal attacks: [46], [47]. He also does edits under IP numbers starting with 115. I filed an ANI ( [48]) but I figure the process may not be needed as it is redundant and repetitive. Thank you, - BatteryIncluded ( talk) 15:46, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

This "user" (please see "contributions" here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/67.165.80.40) has several sick edits in which they insult North Carolina Tar Heels.

Hi there, I'm still planning on doing a rewrite of Sharia in the United States, which I fully expect to be WP:TNT'd. I had a question, though, which I couldn't find an answer to at Template:Old AfD or Template:Old AfD multi. Assuming the article as it exists is deleted, should I feel any sort of obligation to link the new version to the old AfD? It seems like it would mostly just poison the perception of the new article, but I'm not sure if it's better to disclose. In the absence of a specific guideline, I'd happily take your opinion. Best, BDD ( talk) 19:47, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Could you kindly look at the history on Kallar (caste), then look at User Talk:Kallarmagan, note that Sitush gave notification of sanctions, the user continued, I gave a final warning, and now the user has again continued to change said article from a vaguely neutral, sourced one into a typical pile of unsourced POV, and then consider whether or not it's appropriate to enforce discretionary sanctions?
