Hi! I saw that you added a {{ notability}} tag to Jason Bulmahn. I think that I've now added enough references for the tag to be removed, but I thought that you should probably check (I'm still relatively new here and I don't know all of the notability guidelines). Thanks! - Drilnoth ( talk) 13:06, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
BradV,
I saw that you came by and edited my article. The lead looks better than the one I had. Thank you.
One comment - you reverted
(click here)information that was actually sourced. The bit about him being from a
"working class suburb" came directly from the source I quoted, verbatim.
The second part "He took this lesson to heart and started on a path that would include entering and winning many oratorical (speech) contests that
- eventually led to him being publicly recognized in local newspaper articles. One such article would lead to a phone call that would set him on the path to become South Florida's first black anchor. "
The first sentance is a paraphrase and is sourced ( source is actually both above and below -- it's the same
source). The second sentance is also sourced to the same source.
I won't war on it, and in fact, I 'll leave it out. The article doesn't have to have that to be good.
Just check the source again and you'll see what I mean. It's not OR and it is in fact sourced.
Just a heads up !

Bradv, I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent Request for Adminship, which passed with 112 supports, 4 opposes and 5 neutrals. A special mention goes out to Stwalkerster and Pedro for nominating me, thanks a lot for having trust in me! In response to the neutrals, I will try to double check articles that have been tagged for speedy deletion before I CSD them and will start off slowly with the drama boards of ANI and AN to ensure that I get used to them. In response to the oppose !votes on my RfA, I will check that any images I use meet the non-free content criteria and will attempt to handle any disputes or queries as well as I can. If you need my help at all, feel free to simply ask at my talk page and I'll see if I can help.

Hi there, I noticed earlier today your tag concerning the Karl Shuker article, describing it as resembling an autobiography with extensive input by its subject. As that subject is me, i.e. I am Dr Karl Shuker, I would like to mention that in fact virtually all of the info in this article is contained within the books by Michael Newton and Loren Coleman/Jerome Clark listed in this article's references. My major input has been in the reference list, in response to requests for citations by other editors, including TheRedPenOfDoom. So if it would be possible for you to remove the tag, I would be grateful, as the article's content is derived from third-party, neutral sources. As it happens, my greatest concern regarding the article about me is that during the past month it has been vandalised on three separate occasions by a person using a computer with the IP 41.208.14.66, who has been inserting libellous comments regarding me, and on one occasion even replacing the article's text with the word Gay eleven times. I have expressed by concern regarding this matter to another editor, one of three who, thankfully, have spotted these vandalisms and have reverted the article to its previous version on each occasion. Is there any way that my article can be protected from further vandalism by this person? As you can imagine, I am very distressed and angered by this activity, and would greatly appreciate any advice or action that you or other Wikipedia editors could take on my behalf. Many thanks indeed, Czbiker ( talk) 23:00, 5 December 2008 (UTC) Dr Karl Shuker
I apologize I didn't comment during the 3O for Inter-Services Intelligence but I chose to remove the Officer sections myself after having reviewed it. As I explain at Talk:Inter-Services_Intelligence#Officers_section, those sections were added at least a year ago by User:Mercenary2k himself so I found it highly inappropriate that he demand others find sources and then question what source they use. Since he is the one advocating their inclusion, I think at some point we have to acknowledge that he should be the one to have to provide the sources, not just demand everyone else prove they isn't a reliable source for them. His responses in the archive that " he build this page" and they are sourced is getting to be a bit much. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 08:02, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I'm an it.wikipedia (and commons and it.wiktionary and so on) administrator who has recently read a news in one of the italian PSP dedicated website, about some problems with this article. The problem is that an IP (under what there's a famous italian coder, really appreciated for his hard work, whose work is totally free and legal) has added a line about his project in the article OpenCV (that I think doesn't harm at all) linking to that project. Here there's then the rollback by Femmina, with no reason at all. Here you can instead see the rollback of Femmina's edit, indeed we have an entire article about the project of that Coder, instead of only one line about it. I know that I can revert Femmina without asking, but I don't want to start an edit war also because it's as useless as all the edit wars. I know that you're aren't an administrator, but you have followed that article and maybe you can deal the thing without asking an admin. Sorry, but I'm not so deep in en.wikipedia mechanisms, I hope you can help me :-) Sorry for my english, bye, -- Fil nik dimmi! 15:55, 8 December 2008 (UTC) P.S. The personal attacks (that aren't made by me) were done because that coder doesn't know the wikipedian rules and he was simply surprised by the answers got by Femmina.

All you can say on the subject is "remove fictional holiday", like you're some kind of robot? And after I had JUST said that Festivus is NOT a fictional holiday, that it is in fact celebrated across the country, and that anyone who thinks otherwise clearly hasn't read the article! Now, all I am asking is that you not revert that, OK? Festivus is a real holiday, and I expect it to be treated as such. Huh ( talk) 11:45, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
BradV, I got your note. Frankly I disagree. Damien repeadtly tags referenced items with tag that show that he believes them to not be referenced. I have told him more than once that they are and that the references are in the article as well. Additionally, he removes or changes items, again, with comments like "Improper wording" when in fact, the wording comes from a referenced source. He's been told multiple times not to do this as this is inappropriate behavior. In short, I believe his behavior is trolling. He's been warned by other editors for the same behavior (see his webpage archive for various warnings and a block too! ) so it more than just one editor's view. Bottom line is he's trolling and I don't see a problem with calling a troll a troll, it's just WP:DUCK in action. Thanks KoshVorlon > rm -r WP:F.U.R 17:20, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

While I appreciate that under some conditions it may be a conflict of interest for a person to edit a Wikipedia article about himself, in this particular instance I removed the autobiography/extensively edited tag heading the Wikipedia article about me for the simple reason that it is inaccurate and therefore unwarranted. As I noted in my revision note, the vast majority of the info about me in this article is contained within the entry on me in Newton's book The Encyclopedia of Cryptozoology, and in the Coleman/Clark book The A-Z of Cryptozoology - both of which are wholly independent, third-party sources and are cited in the references to the Wikipedia article on me. (If you doubt my word concerning this, or have no access to either/both of these books, I am more than happy to type out the entire text entry on me from each of these books and include them here for you to see for yourself.) How, therefore, can the autobiography tag be justified? In addition, as I have also previously noted, the only major edits that I have added to this article are the inclusion of the reference list (as requested by TheRedPenOfDoom Wikipedia editor) and the addition of the my 3 most recent books to the list of my publications. How can this be claimed to be 'extensively edited'? At present, therefore, the autobiography/extensively edited tag not only is unjustified but also is serving to smear the authenticity of the article re me (and hence my own reputation and good name) in the eyes of those readers accessing it - which is thus surely approaching the level of being deemed libellous? As a result, if you feel unable to remove this tag or to discuss the matter further with me as a means of reconciling any problems currently preventing you from doing so, I would prefer for the entire article concerning me to be deleted, and thus bring an end to this troublesome matter. I have maintained a very successful, high-profile career in cryptozoology and writing long before this Wikipedia article came into being, and feel certain that I would be able to continue doing so were it no longer in existence. Many thanks. Czbiker ( talk) 19:15, 27 December 2008 (UTC) Dr Karl Shuker
Brad, I saw your editing and comment about my edit being "WP:OWN". Not hardly. As you can see, Damiens is removing items that are referenced and yet states that no reference exists. That's vandalism. I am reverting his vandalism. Also remember that a great many of your changes were placed into the article and accepted with no argument from me at all, even when I disagreed with them. So, no it's no WP:OWN, it's cleaning his nonsense out of the article. — Kosh Jumpgate 21:05, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
Do it repeatedly when asked to stop = trolling. Nope WP:DUCK firmly applies to Damiens.rf. Don't get me wrong, he makes a good edit, even if I disagree, it I won't touch it, but I will not allow him to continue messing up the article. WP:DUCK allows me to call his edits just the way they are (at this point) disruptive. Thank — Kosh Jumpgate 21:43, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
I noticed you placed a nom for the article to be deleted, on the basis of speculation. I must inform you however that this is not the case. Vh1 has been running advertisements and promos for the show since the season finale of Celebrity Rehab 2. The website for the show has been for some time and can be seen here. It is because of this that I removed your template on the show's page. Cheers!-- EmperorofBlackPeopleEverywhere ( talk) 07:51, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi. You are marking all of your edits as minor. Edits should only be marked as minor if they are vandalism reverts, minor fixes (like spelling or formatting corrections), or where an automated tool marks them as minor. Most likely, you have accidentally turned on the "Mark all edits minor by default" setting. To turn it off, please click on "my preferences", choose the "Editing tab", uncheck "Mark all edits minor by default", and click "save". Thank you. -- B ( talk) 14:44, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi Bradv,
I've been recently accused of socket puppetry by 2 users (Wizzy and FFMG). I've been accused of being a user named 'Sekwanele'.
Firstly, I am not this person.
Secondly, I am not familiar with this whole 'socket puppet' thing and how I am supposed to reply to the accusations. I figured that since you replied to the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/Jaredsacks then you might be able to advise me on what to do.
How do I clear my name? How can I prove that I am not this person Sekwanele? I am happy to give out my personal information and even email address to administrators. Is that allowed?
I feel these accusations are retributive for disagreeing with Wizzy and FFMG on certain issues. I feel that they have been engaging in bad faith and accusing before even confronting me. What kind of recourse would I have regarding that?
I'm really confused here so could use your guidance if that is possible. Jaredsacks ( talk) 03:33, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

As it happens, my greatest concern regarding the article about me is that during the past month it has been vandalised on three separate occasions by a person using a computer with the IP 41.208.14.66, who has been inserting libellous comments regarding me, and on one occasion even replacing the article's text with the word Gay eleven times. I have expressed by concern regarding this matter to another editor, one of three who, thankfully, have spotted these vandalisms and have reverted the article to its previous version on each occasion. Is there any way that my article can be protected from further vandalism by this person? As you can imagine, I am very distressed and angered by this activity, and would greatly appreciate any advice or action that you or other Wikipedia editors could take on my behalf. Many thanks indeed, Czbiker ( talk) 23:00, 5 December 2008 (UTC) Dr Karl Shuker
I apologize I didn't comment during the 3O for Inter-Services Intelligence but I chose to remove the Officer sections myself after having reviewed it. As I explain at Talk:Inter-Services_Intelligence#Officers_section, those sections were added at least a year ago by User:Mercenary2k himself so I found it highly inappropriate that he demand others find sources and then question what source they use. Since he is the one advocating their inclusion, I think at some point we have to acknowledge that he should be the one to have to provide the sources, not just demand everyone else prove they isn't a reliable source for them. His responses in the archive that " he build this page" and they are sourced is getting to be a bit much. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 08:02, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for offering to give a third opinion. I feel overwhelmed. There is me and one other person in dispute with 3 other people.

Hi! I'm an it.wikipedia (and commons and it.wiktionary and so on) administrator who has recently read a news in one of the italian PSP dedicated website, about some problems with this article. The problem is that an IP (under what there's a famous italian coder, really appreciated for his hard work, whose work is totally free and legal) has added a line about his project in the article OpenCV (that I think doesn't harm at all) linking to that project. Here there's then the rollback by Femmina, with no reason at all. Here you can instead see the rollback of Femmina's edit, indeed we have an entire article about the project of that Coder, instead of only one line about it. I know that I can revert Femmina without asking, but I don't want to start an edit war also because it's as useless as all the edit wars. I know that you're aren't an administrator, but you have followed that article and maybe you can deal the thing without asking an admin. Sorry, but I'm not so deep in en.wikipedia mechanisms, I hope you can help me :-) Sorry for my english, bye, -- Fil nik dimmi! 15:55, 8 December 2008 (UTC) P.S. The personal attacks (that aren't made by me) were done because that coder doesn't know the wikipedian rules and he was simply surprised by the answers got by Femmina.

All you can say on the subject is "remove fictional holiday", like you're some kind of robot? And after I had JUST said that Festivus is NOT a fictional holiday, that it is in fact celebrated across the country, and that anyone who thinks otherwise clearly hasn't read the article! Now, all I am asking is that you not revert that, OK? Festivus is a real holiday, and I expect it to be treated as such. Huh ( talk) 11:45, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
BradV, I got your note. Frankly I disagree. Damien repeadtly tags referenced items with tag that show that he believes them to not be referenced. I have told him more than once that they are and that the references are in the article as well. Additionally, he removes or changes items, again, with comments like "Improper wording" when in fact, the wording comes from a referenced source. He's been told multiple times not to do this as this is inappropriate behavior. In short, I believe his behavior is trolling. He's been warned by other editors for the same behavior (see his webpage archive for various warnings and a block too! ) so it more than just one editor's view. Bottom line is he's trolling and I don't see a problem with calling a troll a troll, it's just WP:DUCK in action. Thanks KoshVorlon > rm -r WP:F.U.R 17:20, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

While I appreciate that under some conditions it may be a conflict of interest for a person to edit a Wikipedia article about himself, in this particular instance I removed the autobiography/extensively edited tag heading the Wikipedia article about me for the simple reason that it is inaccurate and therefore unwarranted. As I noted in my revision note, the vast majority of the info about me in this article is contained within the entry on me in Newton's book The Encyclopedia of Cryptozoology, and in the Coleman/Clark book The A-Z of Cryptozoology - both of which are wholly independent, third-party sources and are cited in the references to the Wikipedia article on me. (If you doubt my word concerning this, or have no access to either/both of these books, I am more than happy to type out the entire text entry on me from each of these books and include them here for you to see for yourself.) How, therefore, can the autobiography tag be justified? In addition, as I have also previously noted, the only major edits that I have added to this article are the inclusion of the reference list (as requested by TheRedPenOfDoom Wikipedia editor) and the addition of the my 3 most recent books to the list of my publications. How can this be claimed to be 'extensively edited'? At present, therefore, the autobiography/extensively edited tag not only is unjustified but also is serving to smear the authenticity of the article re me (and hence my own reputation and good name) in the eyes of those readers accessing it - which is thus surely approaching the level of being deemed libellous? As a result, if you feel unable to remove this tag or to discuss the matter further with me as a means of reconciling any problems currently preventing you from doing so, I would prefer for the entire article concerning me to be deleted, and thus bring an end to this troublesome matter. I have maintained a very successful, high-profile career in cryptozoology and writing long before this Wikipedia article came into being, and feel certain that I would be able to continue doing so were it no longer in existence. Many thanks. Czbiker ( talk) 19:15, 27 December 2008 (UTC) Dr Karl Shuker
Brad, I saw your editing and comment about my edit being "WP:OWN". Not hardly. As you can see, Damiens is removing items that are referenced and yet states that no reference exists. That's vandalism. I am reverting his vandalism. Also remember that a great many of your changes were placed into the article and accepted with no argument from me at all, even when I disagreed with them. So, no it's no WP:OWN, it's cleaning his nonsense out of the article. — Kosh Jumpgate 21:05, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
Do it repeatedly when asked to stop = trolling. Nope WP:DUCK firmly applies to Damiens.rf. Don't get me wrong, he makes a good edit, even if I disagree, it I won't touch it, but I will not allow him to continue messing up the article. WP:DUCK allows me to call his edits just the way they are (at this point) disruptive. Thank — Kosh Jumpgate 21:43, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
I noticed you placed a nom for the article to be deleted, on the basis of speculation. I must inform you however that this is not the case. Vh1 has been running advertisements and promos for the show since the season finale of Celebrity Rehab 2. The website for the show has been for some time and can be seen here. It is because of this that I removed your template on the show's page. Cheers!-- EmperorofBlackPeopleEverywhere ( talk) 07:51, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi. You are marking all of your edits as minor. Edits should only be marked as minor if they are vandalism reverts, minor fixes (like spelling or formatting corrections), or where an automated tool marks them as minor. Most likely, you have accidentally turned on the "Mark all edits minor by default" setting. To turn it off, please click on "my preferences", choose the "Editing tab", uncheck "Mark all edits minor by default", and click "save". Thank you. -- B ( talk) 14:44, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi Bradv,
I've been recently accused of socket puppetry by 2 users (Wizzy and FFMG). I've been accused of being a user named 'Sekwanele'.
Firstly, I am not this person.
Secondly, I am not familiar with this whole 'socket puppet' thing and how I am supposed to reply to the accusations. I figured that since you replied to the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/Jaredsacks then you might be able to advise me on what to do.
How do I clear my name? How can I prove that I am not this person Sekwanele? I am happy to give out my personal information and even email address to administrators. Is that allowed?
I feel these accusations are retributive for disagreeing with Wizzy and FFMG on certain issues. I feel that they have been engaging in bad faith and accusing before even confronting me. What kind of recourse would I have regarding that?
I'm really confused here so could use your guidance if that is possible. Jaredsacks ( talk) 03:33, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
