Things you probably never read on Bwilkins' talk page in the first place
I didn't tag it for speedy deletion, but reverted the original editor's unexplained removal of the speedy nomination added by another editor. The speedy needed to be re-added on principle. I've now AfD'd it. No evidence that the man exists/ed. PamD ( talk) 17:11, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi, just want to inform you that as soon as you unblocked editor Inuit18 ( talk · contribs) [1] he already began vandalising articles by tampering with quoted words [2] and trying to help editor Tajik ( talk · contribs) in edit-war. Editor Inuit may actually be editor Tajik using proxy servers (i.e. Proxy Way) to easily change his location. An IP from Germany 188.107.215.119 (location of editor Tajik) left a message telling Inuit. "...but be careful, he can also use Proxs and Prox mashineries/programs that can get filtered by Wikipedia, like ProxyWay)..." Ahmed shahi ( talk) 14:17, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed that you agreed (I think) to mentor Neutralhomer on the use of Twinkle and distinguishing vandalism from non-vandalism. I don't know if edit-warring was included, but it should have been. Neutralhomer is continuing to make severe problems and is acting in a way which I would regard as essentially thuggish (see User_talk:Necrat for a couple examples]]). I have no direct involvement in any of the issues but in my stalking history pages I noticed these issues, which eventually led an editor to give up his hands and call it quits (the editor posted his expeience here). I'm very concerned that we aren't handling these types of people more forcefully and instead letting them run amock and cause damage to our reputation. It is also very concerning that NeutralHomer is a prolific ANI editor - and I don't think someone who behaves like this, and also appears flagrantly dishonest, should be regarded as in good enough standing to post all over ANI. I have attempted to open a discussion with the editor (see User_talk:ImperfectlyInformed#Re:_My_.22Unreasonableness.22), but the fact that he is feigning ignorance (which goes back to flagrant dishonesty) leads me to suspect I won't be able to affect him.

Please get consensus for that conversion of his indefblock, which looks messed up anyway. Several users who aren't comfortable with WP:COMPETENCE couldn't help but use it as their reasoning for supporting an indefblock. At the minimum, you have got to provide some sort of evidence that Jake will contribute productively when he comes back. He wasn't indefblocked for socking, so getting him to stop doesn't address the original reason he got the boot. (And, to point out something I've pointed out more than once before, Jake will almost certainly not be able to pass muster if/when he returns.) Şłџğģő 00:20, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
Sorry but I don't think you have any consensus to extend WP:OFFER to this guy, when there isn't even consensus for OFFER in the first place. WP:COMPETENCE is a huge issue with this editor and 6 months doesn't even begin to be long enough.-- Crossmr ( talk) 00:32, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Wilkins,
Thank you for welcoming me back after my long Wikibreak. In the message you sent me while I was away, you suggested that I tag for speedy deletion redirects I have created which are likely to be inappropriate. I know of no such redirects as I am still at a loss as to why most of the redirects indicated at ANI were deleted if profanity was not the reason. Db-r3 does not apply because neither of the redirects I created were typos or misnomers. Redirects from related words have strong precedence on Wikipedia and I have never heard of there being a cap on how many redirects a particular article has. I will not contest the deletion of the redirects addressed at ANI because maintaining my account on Wikipedia means more to me than one day's work, but I do not believe that deleting more redirects from related words would be a positive contribution to Wikipedia. I hope that this issue is now behind us and that we can move on to further the ends of the project more harmoniously. Thank you again for your kind words subsequent to the resolution of the incident at ANI.
Happy editing,

Hello, you may not know this but User:75.2.209.226 was warned about uncivil behavior at Wikiquette alerts about a month after you had a negative interaction with him/her (the "Read, and read carefully" exchange). Unfortunately for everyone, 75 has not stopped this behavior. I'm taking this to the next level by putting together an RfC, which has about 20 diffs of various policy/guideline violations.

On May 30 you unblocked User:SyedNaqvi90 who had been blocked for "continued alteration of cited statistics", imposing some editing restrictions. Since then he has inserted made-up numbers into various artilces, including Oslo, Norway, Shi'a Islam in India (where the previous numbers probably were just as wrong) and Persian people (where he actually added sources, but they don't support his estimate of up to 3 million). I've addressed his behaviour on his talk page; he doesn't seem to understand the problem. For all I can tell, others of his edits are valuable contributions, but apparently one has to fact-check whatever he does. What course of action would you suggest? Thanks, Huon ( talk) 18:12, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello, brother i am writing on your talk page since i am very depressed and facing repeated personal victimization from Huon, it feels like he is stalking me, and repeatedly pointing out few minor mistakes of mine about my edits, since most of them are supported by multiple references yet, he denies it and reverts it back to the older version. Though i admit that few things he pointed out were my mistakes, and i would improve my self in future, and i did take prompt action against it. Yet if you look into the past Huon and I had tough arguments regarding Muhammed Ali Jinnah, Fatima Jinnah where he was repeatedly vandalizing any thing regarding Jinnah's Shia faith or domination, which seemed like as if he wants to conceal those facts. But i have to make he realize that they were Shia. Hence, now he can't stand me, and goes on nominating my work, my articles for WP:AFD. Or else he questions every single edit like an immature person. I mean no harm to any one, neither i am writing this message to request you to take action against him, i am rather writing this to make you realize that he is always trying to jeopardize my account and my credibility, just for some minor mistakes i did while editing. I am already very depressed for being blocked 4 times in an Year on Wikipedia, 3 of those blocks were on minor edits. Let me assure you Sir whatever i have done on Wikipedia is by Assuming good faith, and i have always contributed positively and will continue to do so, i am currently in a learning phase regarding many policies i am not aware of, though hopefully I'll improve my self, Thank you.

During that endless mess is taking place at Talk:Faust Vrančić#Requested move redux, DIREKTOR ( talk · contribs) (and Kebeta ( talk · contribs)) copied-and-pasted, without any permission, a comment of mine that I originally posted on another user's talk page (see the diff, against my will (I clearly stated in the comment I preferred to post on the user's talk page) and fakely using my signature. I advised him in his talk page (see the diff), and I also cancelled my fake comment already once, using a clear tag "I suppose nobody has the right to copy-and-past one of my posts from a talk page to another talk page using my signature", but he didn't care about it: see the diff [3].

Figured I should respond here rather than bug TFOWR with any conversation we have. In the end isn't about whether or not the green line actually means anything (hell, if it doesn't, let's put green lines everywhere), but rather giving the wrong impression that somehow there is something separating England and the US right now in the World Cup and that one would advance and one wouldn't, which is absolutely not true (if they had no more games, they'd have to draw straws).
It's very minor, but it's frustrating saying to people that 2+2 does not equal 5, and if there's something that makes it seem like 2+2 does equal 5, then it shouldn't be in the encyclopedia, only having a bunch of page owners respond to you saying that 2+2 does equal 5 and it always has, and there's a consensus about it.
I respect consensus 99.999999% of the time, i've probably been in 2 or 3 edit wars ever, but I believe it's every Wikipedians duty not to compromise and let a consensus say that 2+2=5. Doc Quintana ( talk) 00:00, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

You declined semi on 2011 Cricket World Cup; I then went in and applied PC protection. I guess I wasn't wheel-warring, but I still feel I owe you an explanation. I agree that semi wasn't appropriate, but my thinking was with PCP moving to RFPP many editors requesting semi simply wouldn't know that PC1 was another option (and I also thought that PC1 would be a good fit for "2011 Cricket World Cup").
Hope that's OK, let me know if I've been cheeky, and - as always - do feel free to undo anything I mess up ;-)

Dear B Wilkins
I added details about our internet TV channel ww.bmetv.net to the incredibly helpful Wikipedia and at the same time added details about my colleagues ( and incidentially co-owner of bmetv.net ) channel 3btv.com.
I was trying to be helpful and I certainly did not mean to imply in anyway that bmetv.net owned 3btv.
Would it be helpful if you contact the Managing Director, Philip Radley Smith at his office -contact details www.i2ic.com to confirm he is happy for the entry to be reinstated.
I apologise profusely for any infringement of copyright my actions inadvertenley caused but I admire your actions in trying to protect a third party.

It seems you may already be aware of the controversy on the Vertebroplasty page. But I wanted to alert you to its continued display as a searchable item. I am an interventional radiologist and am quite familiar with the vertebroplasty procedure. I am less familiar with editing wiki pages however. I attempted to edit the page and remove adjectives and misleading, controversial, or subjective comments. The very moment that I edited, however, the page was deleted and the original page was put back up. My information may have been deleted because some of it was copyrighted material, although I cited reference and quoted all of it. I also have communicated with the Society of Interventional Radiology regarding the original page to alert them to its misleading nature.
Today, I edited much less extensively, in an attempt to try to improve the objectivity more simply. Hopefully, my edits will be seen to be what they are: fair and balanced. People want to go to Wikipedia for fair, balanced, factual information. I see no use for subjectivity on the site. It demeans the users and removes all utility of Wikipedia as a go-to site for information-gathering.

The other day you submitted a false positive report because you found yourself unable to edit someone's talk page. If you have not already seen, it was due to an accident in the code of a particular edit filter which was quickly fixed by the MediaWiki software itself. The code has been reverted to the last good version and this should not happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, however; if people hadn't reported it we wouldn't have known there was a problem. I have removed the false positive reports as I felt it was easier to just go to the people who submitted them directly. — Soap — 23:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Since you are the blocking admin, I thought I would inform you that I posted a further opinion about this. Basically, I put myself in Pvae's shoes. I would feel a little miffed if I was blocked for a week because "one editor" told me to stop doing something 3 months ago. Furthermore, the consensus on the reliability of Songfacts is not that clear.
It would be different if his talk page was filled with multiple warnings and reasonable requests to stop doing something which were being ignored, I don't see that here. -- Ron Ritzman ( talk) 01:58, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
You explained this delete with a WP:CSD#G7, but that says "if requested in good faith and provided that the only substantial content to the page and to the associated talk page" and there is content on the page so it does not cover this delete of the talk page. Further although I am wiki-lawyering here I do not think that deleting comments on a talk page is a good idea, particularly if they are bot generated. Comments such as these should remain on the talk page so that other editors can make informed decisions about the edits to the article. -- PBS ( talk) 11:10, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Apologies for posting this on your talk page, I am fairly new to wikipedia (early 2010) as you will note and trying to read all the internal workings is difficult. It is easy to take umbridge and pages your are trying to create or modify being deleted. It seems that everything that has been questionable that I have contributed is due to the the coverage being in the Uk and considered minor over the Atlantic. I will post the Matt Henshaw article and links up on the Help Desk.

I believe it probably generated that based on the Medal of Honor citation which is in the public domain. Thanks and let me know if you have any questions-- Kumioko ( talk) 19:53, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi Bwilkins!
I was wondering if you would consider restoring this page (Stitches (Australian Band)). I will endeavour to make it meet the guidelines for suitability and notability.
Stitches may not be the most 'notable' band in the world, but they have released music on CD, supported overseas acts and had a degree of press coverage in numerous places (in our part of the world). There was once a long running comic about them in a street press magazine. One of the members is noted for using innovative guitar tunings and techniques. The band also has animated sequences projected over them during performances and are becoming known for this aspect of their performance. This request isn't about promoting them, but simply giving credit to what I believe is one of the most interesting and innovative bands out there.
They are certainly far more notable than Stitches (Welsh Band)!

You have recently sought out to comment as an administrator on my edits, via your following of Admin Gwen Gale's page. As above, you made some rash and harsh comments on my editing without citing anything of what I had done. I asked you to explain, to which you refused. I noted your failed usage of WP:SOAP also, which I encourage you to review.
To me, from the perspective of an editor, you are using you admin role, to squash content that you disagree with, even though its well within the guidelines of Wikipedia. I ask you again to explain your remarks, with regards to whatever you believe that I did that deserved admin blocking. If you are unable to be specific, just say so, say that you have no concrete actions that warrant the remarks you have made. If you are simply unwilling to spend the time to back up what you are saying is the justification of admin blocking of editors, I would question the wisdom of your initial entry into the fray. Thank you. -- Tombaker321 ( talk) 01:36, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
I would like to lodge complaints against a couple of editors. User --->N5iln<--- reverted my edit on the "Insight Guides" page which he deemed violated the Wikipedia neutral policy. I don't see it as such, and can tell you that there are tons of other pages here that literally throws oil on the flame by comparison. He should be looking over those pages instead. For my part, I could've rephrased my edits a little bit better. Also, user ---> Beeswaxcandle <--- deleted 3 Insight Guides reviews whioh I posted on the Insight Guides discussion page. This is clearly a violation of my posting rights. Isn't the purpose of the discussion page supposed to be a forum for users to discuss and debate, rather than repress other people's views? These were clearly my opinions, and if the Beeswaxcandle had a beef, they should've come right out and said so...state their disagreement instead of deleting my posts, which I feel is unconstructive to the Wikipedia Project. Heck, up until then there weren't even any posts in the disussion section. If I'm unable to even simply express such views which is what a big part of Wikipedia is all about, then what good is even operating a cite like this?

Hello BWilkins. Not to intervene in the communication, but the reverts from the user Vrammycowboy are not justified. Any existing party including every single state on earth and any international organization from UN to EU with multiple resolutions from UN ( List of United Nations Security Council resolutions on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict), PACE, etc recognize the currently occupied territories of Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory. The Armenian occupied territories of former NKAO region of Azerbaijan and surrounding 7 regions of which Agdam is a part are legally recognized territories of Azerbaijan. Even Armenia does not recognize occupied territories it as independent state. All the legal names, even those occupied by Armenian troops comply with widely accepted GEOnet Names Server geographic locations (see the link [6] and any article on town, village, settlement location in Azerbaijan which include link to to GEOnet Names Server). So, in fact, the articles on Stepanakert,Askeran (town),Hadrut (town),Aghdara (town),Shusha (as listed by Vrammycowboy) also need to be changed to the correct legal status. Please also see my response to the admin with sources on arsons in Agdam [7]. The user's intent of creating an account seems to be sabotaging the articles and just changing the geographic information to present them as Armenian towns and villages.

If you want to put it up for deletion discussion that's fine - due to this man's frequent media activities, various prime-time national TV appearances, and band membership, there is no doubt he is a notable candidate for inclusion in Wikipedia and I struggle to understand why you would want to delete the article.

You can see my full rationale there. Basically, we are at the point now where both of you have agreed to - or at least expressed a wish to - move on, thus elongating the messy debate is of no benefit. In my eyes were at the stage now where the issue is only still on-going because each editor wants to reply to the "final" point the other made, thus by closing the discussions I hope it helps you both to stop.

Re your decision to decline speedy deletion of the above article, can you explain what the credible assertion of importance or significance is.

Thanks for responding to my query about "User:Tomwolff52/Patent Information Users Group."
I will go back to the drawing board regarding this entry. I guess I need more guidance since I have been working on this for many months and thought I understood what an encyclopedia entry should contain. In fact, I have been associated with libraries for years since my job is searching and analyzing technical and patent information. I would like to bring up a few points for your feedback.
I thought I was following examples of other similar organizations and was trying to provide useful information. I took the Historical Development section and modeled other content directly from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_for_Competitive_Intelligence_Professionals and tried to get around the objections about references. I thought that the sections on membership, conferences and communications were informative and made a well organized encyclopedia entry. They weren't meant as spam. They are the critical aspects of how our international organization operates and further its mission "to support, assist, improve and enhance the success of patent information professionals through leadership, education, communication, advocacy and networking." I thought that would be what readers of the Wikipedia article would want to know about. Members have been writing about PIUG in refereed journals over the years. The content I wrote was based on those references. I also worked with the copyright holders to make those articles available to you and other readers of this posting. These articles ought to make the case for notability of PIUG. Finally, our non-profit organization took the extra step of obtaining a registered trademark for our name. I was informed by the PIUG Board of Directors that I should always indicate the registered trademark symbol the first time the name appears in an article. I don't believe that should be considered spam-like either. Does it really go against Wikipedia policy?
Perhaps if none of these points are operative, you could provide me another entry about a similar non-profit professional organization that I should be modeling.
Thanks for working with me.
Tomwolff52 ( talk) 15:02, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
Bwilkins:
Very good. I like what you did. It provides well the essence of the organization. I just changed "Originally intended as a US-only organization" to "Originally formed as a US-only organization." I don't think the founders were clairvoyant enough to intend US-only, but that is the way it started. I also added a sentence that follows naturally from the one that state's PIUG's goals: "PIUG works to achieve its goals with training programs, conferences, and formal and informal discussion aimed at improving the retrieval, analysis, and dissemination of patent information." That is what PIUG does for its members and broader community.
I would like to transfer this draft to the actual PIUG page. Is there anything else I need to do besides copy the text to the target page? After that, I'm sure users will make some minor changes. One will relate to the Berks external link; I planned to make it a reference when I confirm it really relates directly to the existing topic. Thanks again for your guidance.

Hello Sir/Madam, I have a problem with User:SyedNaqvi90 who you have unblocked in May [10] and wanted your help in dealing with him. I just got done cleaning up several articles relating to religions in Pakistan in which I cited sources such as Pew Research Center, Encyclopædia Britannica, CIA World Factbook, U.S. State Department, and Vali Nasr [11] [12] and all these sources agree with one another, that Shias make up 10-20% of the Muslim population in Pakistan as well as in the world. However, SayedNaqvi90 began reverting my edits completely [13], [14], [15] including removing the above sources from the articles. Not only that, SayedNaqvi90 is attacking me on my talk page [16] after I had already explained my position in a nice manner to him on my page and on his. I find SayedNaqvi90 as an extreme POV pusher who uses unreliable sources in articles. Just take a look at this edit of his in which he states in the edit summary "Source is a source there are few more sources supporting this claim stop reverting it" where he is trying to tell us that WordPress articles such as this qualifies as a reliable source for Wikipedia. Anyway, he disagrees with the above academic sources and claims that Shias are 30% in Pakistan based on this unreliable news article written by Sukaina Hussain, which uses the U.S. State Department and Vali Nasr as references but both these never stated Shias being 30%. Vali Nasr actually stated that Shias in Pakistan make up "30 million" [17] of the 174 million people of the country and that figure is covered in the 10-20% as mentioned by the State Department, CIA and others. I'll appreciate your help or advice in this matter and I thank you in advance.-- AllahLovesYou ( talk) 12:47, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

(I, someone who is obviously not a vandal... and merely needs to log into the Wiki prior to using it, will be the only one to read a warning message, and it never reaches/addresses the ones using the IP anonymously) Also, individuals who vandalize are obviously (in most cases at least) intentionally causing detriment to the Wiki.

Hi Bwilkins,
Thank you for directing me to your talk page. I would like to talk more about why the Chelsey OMG article does not meet the guidelines and was deleted.
You originally deleted the article because "A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content): Non-notable web series; limited visiblility)"
This is quite a vague explanation, could you steer me in the right direction to make the changes the page needs to fit within the wikipedia guidelines? I must remind you that Chelsey OMG recieved a massive online following and over 2 million views during the first series; it also had a huge amount of international press, which surely makes it a significant subject.

It's unlikely to have sleeper. Besides, many of the accounts listed would return stale results because they were last edited in 2009. The remaining ones last edited in September 2010 so even behaviour blocks, as you did, should have been done earlier rather than wait for a month before filing a report. OhanaUnited Talk page 21:40, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
Regarding your comment at AN/I... in a broad sense I agree. But you kinda have to admit that what most admins do want is for someone to say the right things, whether or not they actually mean them. Speaking from personal experience, if I had simply parroted the party line any of the times I had been blocked, I would have been unblocked. This happens every day. So you almost have to respect his honesty in blatantly playing the game without any pretence. Almost. → ROUX ₪ 20:30, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

I apologize for not knowing the protocol for restarting a conversation on the title subject originally on User_talk:Bwilkins/Archive_5#Userspace_draft. I posted there again yesterday and decided today that I ought to post on your current user talk page.

I honestly think you have the wrong idea here- I requested unblock in good faith- I only requested it for User:Draxacoffilus as I helped him make the account in the first place(as this school is blocked from creating new users). But I know now that you're not allowed to do that, so it's a nonissue.
As far as the unblock request goes, I merely posted the template that was on my screen when I tried editing. Some talk pages work, and some don't... I didn't conjure that message out of thin air.
I really don't understand why you would post things like that on others talk pages, All I've done on Wikipedia is try to contribute to the project.

...a 2-week old editor was blocked for edit warring on the O'Keefe and ACORN Video articles. He became frustrated and a little hostile, and was further blocked from editing his own talk page. An hour later, a new account is created. Quack. The account name has since been changed, but used to be similar to the name of an individual closely associated with O'Keefe and the ACORN videos. Quack, quack. After editing some obscure, totally unrelated articles about water skiers, the very next day this editor is editing the O'Keefe and ACORN Video articles -- from the identical point of view of the previously blocked editor, and are conversing supportively with each other.

Bwilkins, ill admit that my edits could of been considered vandalism if the test edits I had made were incorrect. But the edits I made were in line with EVERY other page related to Northern Ireland. Thats called consistency. However the edits I made on NorthernCounties talk page were so far from vandalism, its unreal. If someone is going to throw around comments like vandalism, they had better be sure of their wording. NorthernCounties should be blocked, not just for describing my edits as 'vandalism' but prior to that had reinstated an inflamatory edit which I removed from my very own talk page.

Hi, sorry to bother you but User:Sonicyouth86 has been suggesting your comments at http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk%3ACybermud&action=historysubmit&diff=392880454&oldid=391910091 to User:Cybermud were directed at me also. I think your text is fairly unambiguous and it's clear exactly who you were talking about (afterall I was the first person to suggest Cybermud should drop his SP accusation in relation to User:NickLevinson so many of the comments wouldn't make sense if directed at me). Anyway, Sonicyouth86 is adamant that you were warning me, suggesting I should "read the comment by the administrator about your conduct" etc and refuses to listen to me due to the fact I've issued a warning on their talk page previously (though I also gave one to Cybermud). Therefore, assuming you weren't talking about me, please could you possibly make User:Sonicyouth86 aware of the facts of the matter? Apologies for bothering you with this, but I think it would be better to nip this in the bud now and obviously there's more chance they might listen to you than myself. Thanks-- Shakehandsman ( talk) 04:44, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Hello. You posted this comment on my talk page [31]. I think you were referring to your comment here [32]. Maybe you could explain why you think that my "actions regarding that SPI filing were disruptive"? I was the accused party not the accusers who had no evidence for their accusations. From your comment here [33] I got the impression that you were addressing Cybermud and Shakehandsman who were saying what a wikihounder I am and planning which editors to accuse of sockpuppetry here [34]. Cybermud was suggesting user Nick Levinson and Shakehandsman was suggesting Slp1. I didn't participate in that discussion. If I misunderstood your comment
"As an outside party, I wanted to say that you've gone way overboard in your comments here. SPI filings are not for fishing as they take up huge personnel resources, and allowing one to continue if you're convinced that it does not apply is pretty bad faith. We have such a thing as dispute resolution, and a policy on WP:WIKIHOUNDING. If you're having issues with an editor, follow DR to the letter...and SPI is not part of it. Although I anticipate that you're an adult and are not likely to be prodded into apologizing, you might wish to use WP:Strikethrough to retract some of your worse commentary."
and it was actually addressed to me (although I really doesn't seem to apply to me) then I would like to apologize to you. Sonicyouth86 ( talk) 16:36, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Bwilkins, now that I, Shakahandsman, and even Cybermud himself have stated that your comment here
[48] was "quite obviously" NOT directed at me but at Cybermud, I would greatly appreciate it if you could strike through you comment on my talk page or otherwise clarify it. I would also greatly appreciate it if you could go to the Wikiquette alerts and clarify that your comment on my talk page which Cybermud has used to besmirch me (although he admits here that your original comment was addressed to him) was a result of a misunderstanding.

Hi, I noticed that you agreed (I think) to mentor Neutralhomer on the use of Twinkle and distinguishing vandalism from non-vandalism. I don't know if edit-warring was included, but it should have been. Neutralhomer is continuing to make severe problems and is acting in a way which I would regard as essentially thuggish (see User_talk:Necrat for a couple examples]]). I have no direct involvement in any of the issues but in my stalking history pages I noticed these issues, which eventually led an editor to give up his hands and call it quits (the editor posted his expeience here). I'm very concerned that we aren't handling these types of people more forcefully and instead letting them run amock and cause damage to our reputation. It is also very concerning that NeutralHomer is a prolific ANI editor - and I don't think someone who behaves like this, and also appears flagrantly dishonest, should be regarded as in good enough standing to post all over ANI. I have attempted to open a discussion with the editor (see User_talk:ImperfectlyInformed#Re:_My_.22Unreasonableness.22), but the fact that he is feigning ignorance (which goes back to flagrant dishonesty) leads me to suspect I won't be able to affect him.

Please get consensus for that conversion of his indefblock, which looks messed up anyway. Several users who aren't comfortable with WP:COMPETENCE couldn't help but use it as their reasoning for supporting an indefblock. At the minimum, you have got to provide some sort of evidence that Jake will contribute productively when he comes back. He wasn't indefblocked for socking, so getting him to stop doesn't address the original reason he got the boot. (And, to point out something I've pointed out more than once before, Jake will almost certainly not be able to pass muster if/when he returns.) Şłџğģő 00:20, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Wilkins,
Thank you for welcoming me back after my long Wikibreak. In the message you sent me while I was away, you suggested that I tag for speedy deletion redirects I have created which are likely to be inappropriate. I know of no such redirects as I am still at a loss as to why most of the redirects indicated at ANI were deleted if profanity was not the reason. Db-r3 does not apply because neither of the redirects I created were typos or misnomers. Redirects from related words have strong precedence on Wikipedia and I have never heard of there being a cap on how many redirects a particular article has. I will not contest the deletion of the redirects addressed at ANI because maintaining my account on Wikipedia means more to me than one day's work, but I do not believe that deleting more redirects from related words would be a positive contribution to Wikipedia. I hope that this issue is now behind us and that we can move on to further the ends of the project more harmoniously. Thank you again for your kind words subsequent to the resolution of the incident at ANI.

Hello, brother i am writing on your talk page since i am very depressed and facing repeated personal victimization from Huon, it feels like he is stalking me, and repeatedly pointing out few minor mistakes of mine about my edits, since most of them are supported by multiple references yet, he denies it and reverts it back to the older version. Though i admit that few things he pointed out were my mistakes, and i would improve my self in future, and i did take prompt action against it. Yet if you look into the past Huon and I had tough arguments regarding Muhammed Ali Jinnah, Fatima Jinnah where he was repeatedly vandalizing any thing regarding Jinnah's Shia faith or domination, which seemed like as if he wants to conceal those facts. But i have to make he realize that they were Shia. Hence, now he can't stand me, and goes on nominating my work, my articles for WP:AFD. Or else he questions every single edit like an immature person. I mean no harm to any one, neither i am writing this message to request you to take action against him, i am rather writing this to make you realize that he is always trying to jeopardize my account and my credibility, just for some minor mistakes i did while editing. I am already very depressed for being blocked 4 times in an Year on Wikipedia, 3 of those blocks were on minor edits. Let me assure you Sir whatever i have done on Wikipedia is by Assuming good faith, and i have always contributed positively and will continue to do so, i am currently in a learning phase regarding many policies i am not aware of, though hopefully I'll improve my self, Thank you.

Figured I should respond here rather than bug TFOWR with any conversation we have. In the end isn't about whether or not the green line actually means anything (hell, if it doesn't, let's put green lines everywhere), but rather giving the wrong impression that somehow there is something separating England and the US right now in the World Cup and that one would advance and one wouldn't, which is absolutely not true (if they had no more games, they'd have to draw straws).
It's very minor, but it's frustrating saying to people that 2+2 does not equal 5, and if there's something that makes it seem like 2+2 does equal 5, then it shouldn't be in the encyclopedia, only having a bunch of page owners respond to you saying that 2+2 does equal 5 and it always has, and there's a consensus about it.
I respect consensus 99.999999% of the time, i've probably been in 2 or 3 edit wars ever, but I believe it's every Wikipedians duty not to compromise and let a consensus say that 2+2=5. Doc Quintana ( talk) 00:00, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant to mention this earlier (like, at the time it happened...)
You declined semi on 2011 Cricket World Cup; I then went in and applied PC protection. I guess I wasn't wheel-warring, but I still feel I owe you an explanation. I agree that semi wasn't appropriate, but my thinking was with PCP moving to RFPP many editors requesting semi simply wouldn't know that PC1 was another option (and I also thought that PC1 would be a good fit for "2011 Cricket World Cup").
Hope that's OK, let me know if I've been cheeky, and - as always - do feel free to undo anything I mess up ;-)

Hi! I'm asking the following question to you as you addressed my unblock request.
Before being blocked, I put a PoV template on
Oshki (and explained it on the talk page), but it was removed (by an ip). My question is: what should I do if the template is removed again? Does the 3RR also apply to this?

Dear B Wilkins
I added details about our internet TV channel ww.bmetv.net to the incredibly helpful Wikipedia and at the same time added details about my colleagues ( and incidentially co-owner of bmetv.net ) channel 3btv.com.
I was trying to be helpful and I certainly did not mean to imply in anyway that bmetv.net owned 3btv.
Would it be helpful if you contact the Managing Director, Philip Radley Smith at his office -contact details www.i2ic.com to confirm he is happy for the entry to be reinstated.
I apologise profusely for any infringement of copyright my actions inadvertenley caused but I admire your actions in trying to protect a third party.

It seems you may already be aware of the controversy on the Vertebroplasty page. But I wanted to alert you to its continued display as a searchable item. I am an interventional radiologist and am quite familiar with the vertebroplasty procedure. I am less familiar with editing wiki pages however. I attempted to edit the page and remove adjectives and misleading, controversial, or subjective comments. The very moment that I edited, however, the page was deleted and the original page was put back up. My information may have been deleted because some of it was copyrighted material, although I cited reference and quoted all of it. I also have communicated with the Society of Interventional Radiology regarding the original page to alert them to its misleading nature.
Today, I edited much less extensively, in an attempt to try to improve the objectivity more simply. Hopefully, my edits will be seen to be what they are: fair and balanced. People want to go to Wikipedia for fair, balanced, factual information. I see no use for subjectivity on the site. It demeans the users and removes all utility of Wikipedia as a go-to site for information-gathering.

The other day you submitted a false positive report because you found yourself unable to edit someone's talk page. If you have not already seen, it was due to an accident in the code of a particular edit filter which was quickly fixed by the MediaWiki software itself. The code has been reverted to the last good version and this should not happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, however; if people hadn't reported it we wouldn't have known there was a problem. I have removed the false positive reports as I felt it was easier to just go to the people who submitted them directly. — Soap — 23:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Since you are the blocking admin, I thought I would inform you that I posted a further opinion about this. Basically, I put myself in Pvae's shoes. I would feel a little miffed if I was blocked for a week because "one editor" told me to stop doing something 3 months ago. Furthermore, the consensus on the reliability of Songfacts is not that clear.
It would be different if his talk page was filled with multiple warnings and reasonable requests to stop doing something which were being ignored, I don't see that here. -- Ron Ritzman ( talk) 01:58, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
You explained this delete with a WP:CSD#G7, but that says "if requested in good faith and provided that the only substantial content to the page and to the associated talk page" and there is content on the page so it does not cover this delete of the talk page. Further although I am wiki-lawyering here I do not think that deleting comments on a talk page is a good idea, particularly if they are bot generated. Comments such as these should remain on the talk page so that other editors can make informed decisions about the edits to the article. -- PBS ( talk) 11:10, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

It is easy to take umbridge and pages your are trying to create or modify being deleted.

Hi Bwilkins!
I was wondering if you would consider restoring this page (Stitches (Australian Band)). I will endeavour to make it meet the guidelines for suitability and notability.
Stitches may not be the most 'notable' band in the world, but they have released music on CD, supported overseas acts and had a degree of press coverage in numerous places (in our part of the world). There was once a long running comic about them in a street press magazine. One of the members is noted for using innovative guitar tunings and techniques. The band also has animated sequences projected over them during performances and are becoming known for this aspect of their performance. This request isn't about promoting them, but simply giving credit to what I believe is one of the most interesting and innovative bands out there.
They are certainly far more notable than Stitches (Welsh Band)!

You have recently sought out to comment as an administrator on my edits, via your following of Admin Gwen Gale's page. As above, you made some rash and harsh comments on my editing without citing anything of what I had done. I asked you to explain, to which you refused. I noted your failed usage of WP:SOAP also, which I encourage you to review.
To me, from the perspective of an editor, you are using you admin role, to squash content that you disagree with, even though its well within the guidelines of Wikipedia. I ask you again to explain your remarks, with regards to whatever you believe that I did that deserved admin blocking. If you are unable to be specific, just say so, say that you have no concrete actions that warrant the remarks you have made. If you are simply unwilling to spend the time to back up what you are saying is the justification of admin blocking of editors, I would question the wisdom of your initial entry into the fray.

I would like to lodge complaints against a couple of editors. User --->N5iln<--- reverted my edit on the "Insight Guides" page which he deemed violated the Wikipedia neutral policy. I don't see it as such, and can tell you that there are tons of other pages here that literally throws oil on the flame by comparison. He should be looking over those pages instead. For my part, I could've rephrased my edits a little bit better. Also, user ---> Beeswaxcandle <--- deleted 3 Insight Guides reviews whioh I posted on the Insight Guides discussion page. This is clearly a violation of my posting rights. Isn't the purpose of the discussion page supposed to be a forum for users to discuss and debate, rather than repress other people's views? These were clearly my opinions, and if the Beeswaxcandle had a beef, they should've come right out and said so...state their disagreement instead of deleting my posts, which I feel is unconstructive to the Wikipedia Project. Heck, up until then there weren't even any posts in the disussion section. If I'm unable to even simply express such views which is what a big part of Wikipedia is all about, then what good is even operating a cite like this?

Hello BWilkins. Not to intervene in the communication, but the reverts from the user Vrammycowboy are not justified. Any existing party including every single state on earth and any international organization from UN to EU with multiple resolutions from UN ( List of United Nations Security Council resolutions on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict), PACE, etc recognize the currently occupied territories of Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory. The Armenian occupied territories of former NKAO region of Azerbaijan and surrounding 7 regions of which Agdam is a part are legally recognized territories of Azerbaijan. Even Armenia does not recognize occupied territories it as independent state. All the legal names, even those occupied by Armenian troops comply with widely accepted GEOnet Names Server geographic locations (see the link [6] and any article on town, village, settlement location in Azerbaijan which include link to to GEOnet Names Server). So, in fact, the articles on Stepanakert,Askeran (town),Hadrut (town),Aghdara (town),Shusha (as listed by Vrammycowboy) also need to be changed to the correct legal status. Please also see my response to the admin with sources on arsons in Agdam [7]. The user's intent of creating an account seems to be sabotaging the articles and just changing the geographic information to present them as Armenian towns and villages.

Thanks for responding to my query about "User:Tomwolff52/Patent Information Users Group."
I will go back to the drawing board regarding this entry. I guess I need more guidance since I have been working on this for many months and thought I understood what an encyclopedia entry should contain. In fact, I have been associated with libraries for years since my job is searching and analyzing technical and patent information. I would like to bring up a few points for your feedback.
I thought I was following examples of other similar organizations and was trying to provide useful information. I took the Historical Development section and modeled other content directly from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_for_Competitive_Intelligence_Professionals and tried to get around the objections about references. I thought that the sections on membership, conferences and communications were informative and made a well organized encyclopedia entry. They weren't meant as spam. They are the critical aspects of how our international organization operates and further its mission "to support, assist, improve and enhance the success of patent information professionals through leadership, education, communication, advocacy and networking." I thought that would be what readers of the Wikipedia article would want to know about. Members have been writing about PIUG in refereed journals over the years. The content I wrote was based on those references. I also worked with the copyright holders to make those articles available to you and other readers of this posting. These articles ought to make the case for notability of PIUG. Finally, our non-profit organization took the extra step of obtaining a registered trademark for our name. I was informed by the PIUG Board of Directors that I should always indicate the registered trademark symbol the first time the name appears in an article. I don't believe that should be considered spam-like either. Does it really go against Wikipedia policy?
Perhaps if none of these points are operative, you could provide me another entry about a similar non-profit professional organization that I should be modeling.
Thanks for working with me.

Bwilkins:
Very good. I like what you did. It provides well the essence of the organization. I just changed "Originally intended as a US-only organization" to "Originally formed as a US-only organization." I don't think the founders were clairvoyant enough to intend US-only, but that is the way it started. I also added a sentence that follows naturally from the one that state's PIUG's goals: "PIUG works to achieve its goals with training programs, conferences, and formal and informal discussion aimed at improving the retrieval, analysis, and dissemination of patent information." That is what PIUG does for its members and broader community.
I would like to transfer this draft to the actual PIUG page. Is there anything else I need to do besides copy the text to the target page? After that, I'm sure users will make some minor changes. One will relate to the Berks external link; I planned to make it a reference when I confirm it really relates directly to the existing topic. Thanks again for your guidance.

I just got done cleaning up several articles relating to religions in Pakistan in which I cited sources such as Pew Research Center, Encyclopædia Britannica, CIA World Factbook, U.S. State Department, and Vali Nasr [11] [12] and all these sources agree with one another, that Shias make up 10-20% of the Muslim population in Pakistan as well as in the world. However, SayedNaqvi90 began reverting my edits completely [13], [14], [15] including removing the above sources from the articles. Not only that, SayedNaqvi90 is attacking me on my talk page [16] after I had already explained my position in a nice manner to him on my page and on his. I find SayedNaqvi90 as an extreme POV pusher who uses unreliable sources in articles. Just take a look at this edit of his in which he states in the edit summary "Source is a source there are few more sources supporting this claim stop reverting it" where he is trying to tell us that WordPress articles such as this qualifies as a reliable source for Wikipedia. Anyway, he disagrees with the above academic sources and claims that Shias are 30% in Pakistan based on this unreliable news article written by Sukaina Hussain, which uses the U.S. State Department and Vali Nasr as references but both these never stated Shias being 30%. Vali Nasr actually stated that Shias in Pakistan make up "30 million" [17] of the 174 million people of the country and that figure is covered in the 10-20% as mentioned by the State Department, CIA and others. I'll appreciate your help or advice in this matter and I thank you in advance.-- AllahLovesYou ( talk) 12:47, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

I just wanted to thank you for using the proper warning message on my IP address for making an improper edit to a page. Often times, when a user leaves a warning message, that individual fails to understand the difference between an IP address and a userpage. (I, someone who is obviously not a vandal... and merely needs to log into the Wiki prior to using it, will be the only one to read a warning message, and it never reaches/addresses the ones using the IP anonymously) Also, individuals who vandalize are obviously (in most cases at least) intentionally causing detriment to the Wiki. Thank you for using common sense and using a warning message that actually addresses and applies to the anonymous users of this IP, unlike many users of the Wikipedia. - Rob talk 05:43, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Bwilkins,
Thank you for directing me to your talk page. I would like to talk more about why the Chelsey OMG article does not meet the guidelines and was deleted.
You originally deleted the article because "A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content): Non-notable web series; limited visiblility)"
This is quite a vague explanation, could you steer me in the right direction to make the changes the page needs to fit within the wikipedia guidelines? I must remind you that Chelsey OMG recieved a massive online following and over 2 million views during the first series; it also had a huge amount of international press, which surely makes it a significant subject.
I would very much appreciate your advice on how I can make the Chelsey OMG article fit within the guidelines.

You've blocked Triton really on a technicality. I would have reverted Snowded's change much earlier but my system was down, and in any case, Snowded should have reverted it himself as soon as he realised he was wrong, but for reasons best known to himself, he didn't. Triton merely implemented an agreed change, which is, as I say, a technical breach of the topic ban, and one that should not attract a block, in the interests of good will.

While the debate has been educational for me (learning some new stuff about image policies, and reviving my dormant commons account), the argument between Xander and BeyondMyKen has entered the moebius strip stage and shows no hope of resolving itself on ANI.

Regarding your comment at AN/I... in a broad sense I agree. But you kinda have to admit that what most admins do want is for someone to say the right things, whether or not they actually mean them. Speaking from personal experience, if I had simply parroted the party line any of the times I had been blocked, I would have been unblocked. This happens every day.

I honestly think you have the wrong idea here- I requested unblock in good faith- I only requested it for User:Draxacoffilus as I helped him make the account in the first place(as this school is blocked from creating new users). But I know now that you're not allowed to do that, so it's a nonissue.
As far as the unblock request goes, I merely posted the template that was on my screen when I tried editing. Some talk pages work, and some don't... I didn't conjure that message out of thin air.

I think your text is fairly unambiguous and it's clear exactly who you were talking about (afterall I was the first person to suggest Cybermud should drop his SP accusation in relation to User:NickLevinson so many of the comments wouldn't make sense if directed at me). Anyway, Sonicyouth86 is adamant that you were warning me, suggesting I should "read the comment by the administrator about your conduct" etc and refuses to listen to me due to the fact I've issued a warning on their talk page previously (though I also gave one to Cybermud). Therefore, assuming you weren't talking about me, please could you possibly make User:Sonicyouth86 aware of the facts of the matter? Apologies for bothering you with this, but I think it would be better to nip this in the bud now and obviously there's more chance they might listen to you than myself.

Hello. You posted this comment on my talk page [31]. I think you were referring to your comment here [32]. Maybe you could explain why you think that my "actions regarding that SPI filing were disruptive"? I was the accused party not the accusers who had no evidence for their accusations. From your comment here [33] I got the impression that you were addressing Cybermud and Shakehandsman who were saying what a wikihounder I am and planning which editors to accuse of sockpuppetry here [34]. Cybermud was suggesting user Nick Levinson and Shakehandsman was suggesting Slp1. I didn't participate in that discussion. If I misunderstood your comment
"As an outside party, I wanted to say that you've gone way overboard in your comments here. SPI filings are not for fishing as they take up huge personnel resources, and allowing one to continue if you're convinced that it does not apply is pretty bad faith. We have such a thing as dispute resolution, and a policy on WP:WIKIHOUNDING. If you're having issues with an editor, follow DR to the letter...and SPI is not part of it. Although I anticipate that you're an adult and are not likely to be prodded into apologizing, you might wish to use WP:Strikethrough to retract some of your worse commentary."
and it was actually addressed to me (although I really doesn't seem to apply to me) then I would like to apologize to you. Sonicyouth86 ( talk) 16:36, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Bwilkins, now that I, Shakahandsman, and even Cybermud himself have stated that your comment here
[48] was "quite obviously" NOT directed at me but at Cybermud, I would greatly appreciate it if you could strike through you comment on my talk page or otherwise clarify it. I would also greatly appreciate it if you could go to the Wikiquette alerts and clarify that your comment on my talk page which Cybermud has used to besmirch me (although he admits here that your original comment was addressed to him) was a result of a misunderstanding.
