Thanks for completing the task in my case! Roy Howard Mills ( talk) 19:15, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
Hello, thank you for attending to this in a timely manner. I have been in a rather lengthy and heated exchange with a user, Bolter21, about Israeli and Palestinian 'issues'. I'm not surprised really. This user has since entered my personal talk page, so as it's not an Article Talk Page, I have expressed myself in a blunt manner. I'm not being abusive towards the person or even using foul language, but as a Military History buff, have pointed out some hard realities. I deal with the facts on the ground, not the stated Government agenda's or propaganda. I also realise that this is a sensitive subject. I even originally supported this editor, in their language barrier. But it is what it is.....I don't know if this attack was connected, but one could reasonably assume so, though proving that is another issue. I'm grateful for the assistance, and I have since finished my discourse with this person by expressing as such, that I'm done with it. I was going to contribute, possibly , to the articles on the Middle east, but for now I will not, considering...

Hi, I added the school mascot as Marc Lionnet and the headmaster as Paul Clohesy and the edit was removed. I did this while some other users were vandalizing the page, so i can see that it may have also been considered vandalism. However, my nephew goes to the school and i noticed that some information on the page was wrong so i changed it. Could i please change the mascot back to Marc Lionnet and the headmaster back to Mr. Paul Clohesy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AbuHajaar ( talk • contribs) 09:34, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
I see from the school's website that Paul Clohesy is indeed the headmaster, so I have added that back for you, with a reference (I've actually named him as "Principal" as that is the term the school uses).
I can see from here that Marc Lionnet is a member of staff, but I can find nothing to suggest he is the school "mascot". A school mascot is usually a fictional character and not a real person, so I'm really not sure I even understand the suggestion, and that's what made me think it was probably a schoolboy prank - are you sure your nephew understands what a mascot is? Also, a Google search for the word "mascot" on the school site finds no hits at all.
So, including Paul Clohesy as principal is fine (and, as I say, I have done it), but we can not include the unsupported claim that Marc Lionnet is the school mascot. Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 10:45, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
@ BDD:
I realize that both of you have deference to delete Neelix redirects, and I realize that the nominator declared it "nonsense", but the term was definitely not nonsense. Had the nominator put literally any effort at all in a Google search, he would've found plenty of reliable sources. Here are just a few off of Google Books: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and more
The redirects were not nonsense at all. While I personally believed a re-targetting to State income tax#Nonbusiness income was more appropriate due believing that the the latter is the primary topic, but nonprofit organization was a perfectly valid target. I have created new redirects to State income tax#Nonbusiness income to replace the old ones, but that being said, I bring this to your attention because " Nonbusiness organization" also exists and I'm afraid it will be speedily deleted as well if I didn't clear up the validity of the term.

Hello, I noticed that you had extended Boaxy's block to one week due to his personal attacking/harassment. While I do wish this user in question would learn the difference between his definition of what he calls "homophobia" and reverting unsourced material, however, you may need to keep an eye on him for awhile, as I have caught him ranting on his Reddit thread about this, where one user suggested that I should be reported for violating Wikipedia policy because they think that I was reverting everything Boaxy had added that was LGBT-related.
I apologize if I might sound like a long rant, but this whole drama started last year when Boaxy attempted to add several LGBT categories to some of the Sailor Moon articles. His reason for adding them was because he believed that the five primary characters in that series were LGBT, and that the entire series dealt with LGBT-related issues, which it did not have either. There were no greater than two characters in the series that were LGBT, and they do not appear 90% of the entire series (only for one season). Except for when two of the characters ( Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune) appeared in either the original 1992 series or in the remake, the series never at any given point dealt with LGBT issues 90% of the time; only for a few episodes. As a result of these factors, many editors disagreed with Boaxy's interpretation of the categories and tried reverting them, but Boaxy kept edit warring to include the categories and attacked people - including myself - who disagreed with him, and was also insisting that Wikipedia should be "politically correct." The discussions on the main article's talk page all concluded that LGBT was not a main theme of the series, and Boaxy started throwing temper tantrums. His conduct later resulted in him being topic banned from editing any Sailor Moon-related articles.
For awhile, it seemed that Boaxy got the point until he tried doing this again on Unfinished Business (2015 film), adding an LGBT category to a film/TV/anime article all because one character is gay. Initially, I just simply reverted the edit because it was unsourced. Afterwards, I logged out of Wikipedia and I thought nothing of it. But during the time that I was away, Boaxy added the category again, claiming that it wasn't " original research," when it was. At that point, some unknown IP (whose IP address changed every day, that when I traced them, originated from near Chicago) stepped in and reverted Boaxy's addition, but Boaxy edit warred over the category's inclusion, in which I noticed that he had logged out and used an IP sock to mask himself (though he claimed once that it was just his mobile app logging him out, however, I digress). At one point, Boaxy finally added a source, but the IP reverted it when he found that it was not verifiable, as it had originated from an unreliable source. Boaxy decided to escalate it further. At that point, out of complete curiosity, I logged back into WP after not being on for a few days where I found that Boaxy had been edit warring over the inclusion of the category. All I did to put a stop to the war was report Boaxy to the admins' noticeboard. While it seemed that Boaxy had not violated any rules in that incident prior to this point, however, his topic ban had set a precedent; that any sort of genre/category he adds must be backed by a verifiable source, and that any reversion of his edits are not "homophobic," regardless if what he adds relates to LGBT-related topics or not.
If you're wondering why Boaxy (also known as "JazzyFusion" on Reddit) resorted to attacking me on Reddit, it happened because someone there started a thread discussing the time that I had reported Boaxy for edit warring on Unfinished Business. Boaxy saw it, and went on a viral rampage. Initially, I ignored his initial rant on Reddit because there was no point in reading it...until I noticed that he called me out in the thread, claiming that I'm "on some homophobic agenda" when this has nothing to do with homophobia at all. When I saw that, I placed a big warning on his profile warning him about personally attacking me and his conduct, and that he would be reported if he attacked me again.
Which leads us to the current situation that unfolded several days ago.
I am not being homophobic and I'm not hounding this user; I'm just simply enforcing the rules (despite that I'm not an admin), which applies to everybody and every user on Wikipedia regardless of his/her sexuality. Personally, if you ask me, I was in the same boat as Boaxy was, myself; I used to add things that were unsourced while I was on my old account, but I learned a few years back that articles that were too fan-oriented would not last because it took reliable sources to keep an article on Wikipedia. It was very sobering, but I'm glad I learned my lesson there.
Sorry, once again, if I was ranting this to you. I was just explaining to you what happened, and to ask you to keep an eye out if Boaxy tries to report me when I hadn't done anything wrong, myself. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Zebedee, Father of Apostles James & John, husband of Salome! Wow!
My namesake was an Apostle and I don't like him or his legacy either. I looked up Boing! in the Urban Dictionary. Surprise! It has sexual connotations.
Regarding my submission, it happens to be factual. You deleted the wrong History section which I left untouched! The History section already on the KBT web page is pure fiction that has been repeated so many times by so many copyists that it is more-or-less accepted as fact. It is garbage and should have been removed long ago! A Gadhar is a Kerry Beagle and everyone knows what a Beagle looks like. A Beagles does NOT look like Kerry Blue Terrier no matter how much you squint!
You must keep in mind that writers of dog books and articles get the actual breeders/exhibitors to send the information that they reformat and print. The breeders are like hawkers at a carnival and will write anything to sell one more puppy or dog. Modern dog breeding and exhibiting is Vaudeville revisited - and if you don't believe that I have another lottery ticket for you to buy! The dog writers haven't a clue beyond the particular breed(s) that interests them. The AKC currently recognizes 140 breeds! How may breed standards do you tin can be easily remembered?
It will take me some time to respond to your complaint because I am very much the authority on the subject of the origins of this breed. And obviously, I can't site me! The questions of who bred and who owned Irish Blue/Kerry Blue dogs and bitches during the first decade of the twentieth century I can only answer in so far as the stud books from the Irish, English and American Kennel Clubs provide - which is very little. The early breeders didn't keep good records and the Irish were busy having a Civil War which didn't help.
The first Kerry breed books were published in 1922, 1923, 1927, 1930. They are interesting but not very factual.
Enough said. UW

The IP was having a discussion on my talk page here. I think he's personally against the movement to the point that it's "fake" to him, and he's confused with the English definition of a "hoax".

Hi, "Boing!" I don't think you should have accepted this request for a change of username, because it was posted as an IP edit. Probably it was the editor just not logged in, but it's impossible to be certain: I have known it to happen that an IP editor claims to be a particular editor not logged in when actually it's a different person. If, as seems likely, you agree with that but just didn't notice it wasn't the account that posted it, then this is just pointing it out so you can be careful to avoid doing the same again.

So, including Paul Clohesy as principal is fine (and, as I say, I have done it), but we can not include the unsupported claim that Marc Lionnet is the school mascot. Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 10:45, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
@ BDD:
I realize that both of you have deference to delete Neelix redirects, and I realize that the nominator declared it "nonsense", but the term was definitely not nonsense. Had the nominator put literally any effort at all in a Google search, he would've found plenty of reliable sources. Here are just a few off of Google Books: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and more
The redirects were not nonsense at all. While I personally believed a re-targetting to State income tax#Nonbusiness income was more appropriate due believing that the the latter is the primary topic, but nonprofit organization was a perfectly valid target. I have created new redirects to State income tax#Nonbusiness income to replace the old ones, but that being said, I bring this to your attention because " Nonbusiness organization" also exists and I'm afraid it will be speedily deleted as well if I didn't clear up the validity of the term.

Hello, I noticed that you had extended Boaxy's block to one week due to his personal attacking/harassment. While I do wish this user in question would learn the difference between his definition of what he calls "homophobia" and reverting unsourced material, however, you may need to keep an eye on him for awhile, as I have caught him ranting on his Reddit thread about this, where one user suggested that I should be reported for violating Wikipedia policy because they think that I was reverting everything Boaxy had added that was LGBT-related.
I apologize if I might sound like a long rant, but this whole drama started last year when Boaxy attempted to add several LGBT categories to some of the Sailor Moon articles. His reason for adding them was because he believed that the five primary characters in that series were LGBT, and that the entire series dealt with LGBT-related issues, which it did not have either. There were no greater than two characters in the series that were LGBT, and they do not appear 90% of the entire series (only for one season). Except for when two of the characters ( Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune) appeared in either the original 1992 series or in the remake, the series never at any given point dealt with LGBT issues 90% of the time; only for a few episodes. As a result of these factors, many editors disagreed with Boaxy's interpretation of the categories and tried reverting them, but Boaxy kept edit warring to include the categories and attacked people - including myself - who disagreed with him, and was also insisting that Wikipedia should be "politically correct." The discussions on the main article's talk page all concluded that LGBT was not a main theme of the series, and Boaxy started throwing temper tantrums. His conduct later resulted in him being topic banned from editing any Sailor Moon-related articles.
For awhile, it seemed that Boaxy got the point until he tried doing this again on Unfinished Business (2015 film), adding an LGBT category to a film/TV/anime article all because one character is gay. Initially, I just simply reverted the edit because it was unsourced. Afterwards, I logged out of Wikipedia and I thought nothing of it. But during the time that I was away, Boaxy added the category again, claiming that it wasn't " original research," when it was. At that point, some unknown IP (whose IP address changed every day, that when I traced them, originated from near Chicago) stepped in and reverted Boaxy's addition, but Boaxy edit warred over the category's inclusion, in which I noticed that he had logged out and used an IP sock to mask himself (though he claimed once that it was just his mobile app logging him out, however, I digress). At one point, Boaxy finally added a source, but the IP reverted it when he found that it was not verifiable, as it had originated from an unreliable source. Boaxy decided to escalate it further. At that point, out of complete curiosity, I logged back into WP after not being on for a few days where I found that Boaxy had been edit warring over the inclusion of the category. All I did to put a stop to the war was report Boaxy to the admins' noticeboard. While it seemed that Boaxy had not violated any rules in that incident prior to this point, however, his topic ban had set a precedent; that any sort of genre/category he adds must be backed by a verifiable source, and that any reversion of his edits are not "homophobic," regardless if what he adds relates to LGBT-related topics or not.
If you're wondering why Boaxy (also known as "JazzyFusion" on Reddit) resorted to attacking me on Reddit, it happened because someone there started a thread discussing the time that I had reported Boaxy for edit warring on Unfinished Business. Boaxy saw it, and went on a viral rampage. Initially, I ignored his initial rant on Reddit because there was no point in reading it...until I noticed that he called me out in the thread, claiming that I'm "on some homophobic agenda" when this has nothing to do with homophobia at all. When I saw that, I placed a big warning on his profile warning him about personally attacking me and his conduct, and that he would be reported if he attacked me again.
Which leads us to the current situation that unfolded several days ago.
I am not being homophobic and I'm not hounding this user; I'm just simply enforcing the rules (despite that I'm not an admin), which applies to everybody and every user on Wikipedia regardless of his/her sexuality. Personally, if you ask me, I was in the same boat as Boaxy was, myself; I used to add things that were unsourced while I was on my old account, but I learned a few years back that articles that were too fan-oriented would not last because it took reliable sources to keep an article on Wikipedia. It was very sobering, but I'm glad I learned my lesson there.
Sorry, once again, if I was ranting this to you. I was just explaining to you what happened, and to ask you to keep an eye out if Boaxy tries to report me when I hadn't done anything wrong, myself. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Since your comment at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Revisit_of_User:SwisterTwister.27s_reviewing_issues is both incorrect and irrelevant to the discussion, I wonder if you might remove it (and the responses to it), or grant me permission to do the same. — swpb T 15:45, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Zebedee, Father of Apostles James & John, husband of Salome! Wow!
My namesake was an Apostle and I don't like him or his legacy either. I looked up Boing! in the Urban Dictionary. Surprise! It has sexual connotations.
Regarding my submission, it happens to be factual. You deleted the wrong History section which I left untouched! The History section already on the KBT web page is pure fiction that has been repeated so many times by so many copyists that it is more-or-less accepted as fact. It is garbage and should have been removed long ago! A Gadhar is a Kerry Beagle and everyone knows what a Beagle looks like. A Beagles does NOT look like Kerry Blue Terrier no matter how much you squint!
You must keep in mind that writers of dog books and articles get the actual breeders/exhibitors to send the information that they reformat and print. The breeders are like hawkers at a carnival and will write anything to sell one more puppy or dog. Modern dog breeding and exhibiting is Vaudeville revisited - and if you don't believe that I have another lottery ticket for you to buy! The dog writers haven't a clue beyond the particular breed(s) that interests them. The AKC currently recognizes 140 breeds! How may breed standards do you tin can be easily remembered?
It will take me some time to respond to your complaint because I am very much the authority on the subject of the origins of this breed. And obviously, I can't site me! The questions of who bred and who owned Irish Blue/Kerry Blue dogs and bitches during the first decade of the twentieth century I can only answer in so far as the stud books from the Irish, English and American Kennel Clubs provide - which is very little. The early breeders didn't keep good records and the Irish were busy having a Civil War which didn't help.
The first Kerry breed books were published in 1922, 1923, 1927, 1930. They are interesting but not very factual.
Enough said. UW

The IP was having a discussion on my talk page here. I think he's personally against the movement to the point that it's "fake" to him, and he's confused with the English definition of a "hoax". I'm telling you this because I believe that the article might be under ArbCom remedies. Hopefully I didn't violate any. What are your thoughts regarding all of this? ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 07:01, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello,I saw you deleted this page. I'm a bit concerned that the creator Cartoons Universe may have added other hoaxes but its hard to tell as a number are about bus types and cartoon company's. I also think Cartoons Universe has a sock puppet called Esteban in Hemet who contested the Oliver & Jenny deletion as its first edit then deleted information from a bus page.Thanks Atlantic306 ( talk) 19:04, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed that you blocked IP 67.5.251.135 for disruptive editing on Terry Bean, so I thought I'd tell you that it's not just DE but blockevasion by indefinitely blocked user Lurie2, who as both a named account and multiple IPs has been trying to get BLP-violations into the Terry Bean article for almost a year now.

Agreed that it is a redirect, but its history shows that is was once a one-line article. The term is not Baby talk, which is where it is now redirecting to.

Hi BsZ, see what you think of his user page- was earlier pending to be an administrator, to have had 30K+ edits, to have been here ten years etc; we've got rid of that, but now he's still claiming to have a right to that 'Awesome Wikipedian' badge and to have a day named after him, as well as loads of barnstars from made up accounts (very dodgy!), as well as claiming to have been here six months. He opened his account three weeks ago, with ~500 edits. I suggest cleansing that page- but please advise. There's a chat at the bottom of my TP for further info.

I was advised to 'contest the speedy deletion' however when I looked to the Beyond FC page such an option didn't exist. I'm new to this and didn't know if you could undo your decision. As you've read, Beyond F.C. is a new and up and coming semi-professional club in NYC. It's the largest within NYC. If various other smaller clubs have WIKI pages why is it that Beyond F.C. is the one that gets deleted? I plan on starting work on the new Beyond F.C. page later today. Any suggestions on how I can go about creating a non-delete worthy page? Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Niko Güey ( talk • contribs) 15:31, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi, "Boing!" I don't think you should have accepted this request for a change of username, because it was posted as an IP edit. Probably it was the editor just not logged in, but it's impossible to be certain: I have known it to happen that an IP editor claims to be a particular editor not logged in when actually it's a different person. If, as seems likely, you agree with that but just didn't notice it wasn't the account that posted it, then this is just pointing it out so you can be careful to avoid doing the same again.
