Sorry about the RVV label; I have been barely sweeping articles for the last few years, after spending 3 years creating 100s of them. It's a lot of work to keep up on that many, and honestly, when I see an editor who has never edited the article before come along and wipe out large portions of link sections I almost automatically assume it's vandalism, revert it, then move along. Sorry to lump your concerned effort with those. • Freechild 'sup? 14:37, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Against my word and yours we need to discuss this, civilly and calmly. We are obviously going to get nowhere with snarky comments and edit warring. So, how do you want to solve this? At present, there is no consensus for either inclusion or non-inclusion, as it has no been actively discussed. The inclusion is something that has just happened over time. I feel we should have (at ANI for more eyes) a discussion on this and work something out. We aren't going to get anywhere but blocked, both of us, if we continue to spit snarky comments at each other and revert each others edits. So, truce? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:00, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
Now, there is progress in your message: you say there is no consensus for either inclusion or exclusion. By that I think you mean "no consensus in the TV station project"--which is correct, but that's not all that matters. What I want from you, before we go anywhere, is the acknowledgment that Wikipedia's policies on BLPs and directories apply across the board, since I can not agree to anything that allows unverified information to stand. You have brought forth a few arguments for the reasonability of some of that information. I can see the possibility of a compromise there, where it concerns current staff--but why don't you start by linking to a webpage, whenever possible, where that info is verified? Some time ago you agreed that especially in the case of former staff there are BLP problems, and I think (but seriously, I am not checking your edits!) that in a number of cases (in the past anyway, if I remember correctly) where you reverted me you have not reinstated those unverified/non-notable folk, for which I applaud you (and I hope you are still of the same opinion).
Look, I'm watching the news right now on WSFA, and I want to finish watching that. In the meantime, have a look at that station's page--there's barely a notable person there, and you know it. More than half the article is directory information. I'm leaving it alone, since Rich Thomas is doing his spiel (he's obviously not just the weekend meteorologist). Thanks for your message; we'll talk later. Drmies ( talk) 03:18, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
BTW, there is another matter: I personally don't see the justification for those slogans and lists of names of news programs and I wonder where, in most of those articles, that knowledge comes from, but we can leave that for another day. OK? In the meantime, we'll stop the namecalling and next time we disagree we'll settle it after school on the playground, under the old oak tree, with fisticuffs.

Hi there MIES, VASCO here,
Glad to see everything is (for now resolved) in this situation, even though i think (i could be wrong though) the apology is contrived, not sincere. Also (was totally caught by surprise, because i thought blocked users could do everything but edit, so i assumed they could still send messages and stuff), if you notice his talkpage, watch how he goes in an endless rant about football technicalities to justify his (not being) block(ed), then speaks about differences with two users, one of them me.
About this last part, i feel as though he is trying to make me look bad, again calling me stupid ("nonsense"), saying i don't own articles (does he?) and saying i engage in things i do not (as of now that is, i did it in the past - could his horrible English be to blame for any misunderstanding on my part?); more or less, it seems he is saying "I was blocked, how come Vasco was not?". But i will leave everything as it is - sent him a polite but to-the-point message when i saw what he wrote - hopefully this is the beginning of a good Wikiunderstanding between you two - i say "you two" because i feel that i haven't reached, for reasons that escape me, that kind of understanding with him or any other user in almost four years of editing :(
Cheers, take care - -- Vasco Amaral ( talk) 17:10, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

In reply to this, I usually search for the most general first, and then refine the searches when I get too many irrelevant hits. In this case I didn't even try searching for the Islamic name, as there are too many possible spelling variants, so I simply did a Google Books search for "De Veenboer", fully expecting to get too many false positives for it to be of any use. It was just luck that the first hit was a children's book with some coverage of our De Veenboer, and the third was the book that I cited in the AfD discussion. You were certainly right to question that "1620 Deaths" book - we can't source articles from Wikipedia mirrors. Phil Bridger ( talk) 19:20, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Drmies. I'm trying to figure out what is going on here... for instance, in this edit, if I'm reading it right, you reverted the addition of some bluelinked bios to the article. How come? This was a reversion of 23 edits by User:69.180.253.113; you have peppered his talk page with warnings, but why? I haven't looked at the individual edits, but the sum of the 23 edits show here looks at least defensible. He added Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and that person has a Wikipedia article. According to the article she was born and partly raised in Somalia, and now lives in the United States. And so forth. If these people have articles, and are African, and have emigrated to the United States, what is the rationale for excluding them? Herostratus ( talk) 04:49, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
Re your message: The article has been restored by the editor, though this time with references. Some of the references are not very good, but it does seem that she is notable in some regard. The article is a mess though. I agree that the puffery is a little over the top. I suspect that this goes beyond a fan. Checking the photos uploaded for the article, the person is likely to be much closer than a fan such as a friend or PR agent. It appears to me to be somebody much closer than just an enthusiastic fan who happened to get into multiple award ceremonies. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 05:34, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello sir, It took me forever how to figure out how to contact you. I'm not very good with wiki.
The reason I am contacting you today is to ask you for your help with my wiki page. From viewing your past edits I feel you have an excellent grasp on what you are doing here.
I noticed someone posted my facebook and twitter pages on wiki the other day and I'm happy they were removed, however I tried to add some articles containing me last night over my iphone and forgot to log in and it appears you removed them as well as some biographic information from my page.
To make a long story short, listeners of my shows created my wiki page and there were some major issues so one of the wiki people who knew what they were doing better than I ever will fixed my page and it has stayed virtually unchanged for many months until last night. I would like to get things back to where they were yesterday. Can you help me doing this.
I realize you were only doing what you felt was best but please sir help me out. Obi Wan Kanobi, you're my only hope.
Thank you for your time, I honestly mean that.

The current version already has plenty of problems--the complete absence of reliable sources, for starters. Google News usually offers reliable sources, but this search, for "Mike Pilot" and "Awful Show," produces nothing. Same with "mediocre show". Even Google searches on the web produce very little: [8] and [9] and [10]. In fact, I am placing a notability tag on the article, since I have doubts that the subject meets WP:N--that's harsh, perhaps, but according to our guidelines. So I'm sorry, I don't think I'm the one to help you here: if this were a candidate for deletion (I won't nominate it), I would not vote to keep it. Sorry, Drmies ( talk) 17:32, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Any specific reason for deleting the Geo Tag that I had inserted for that one time editor who has nominated Safwat Ghayur? Is this against some sort of Policy? -- MARWAT 04:59, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
My intention was to restore material that had been deleted - and not to delete material!
I went over the edit dif you provided and saw some material I accidentally deleted, and I have just restored that to the article.
If however I have missed any other content you added that I deleted please know that it was an accident. Could you restore any additional material you had added that i mistakenly removed? I think I covered it, but you can recognize most easily what I may have missed. Sorry about this. Slrubenstein | Talk 10:12, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
I am extremely grateful and thakful for your too prompt action to make the personal info related posts, posted by Marwatt, outlined by approaching the administrators.

I encountered another of your creations while I was patrolling DYK. It was interesting to learn where Escher got his inspiration. But, it says that he "spent time in Ravello in the 1920". Should that be "in 1920", or "in the 1920s"? MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 05:58, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Dear Drmies. Reading the opinions of sport journalists, football trainers/experts, professional players and many football fans - and also - studying the career of Ronald Koeman and comparing him with other players - You can conclude that: 1) Ronald Koeman had powerful and accurate shots - especially from free kicks, penalties and from a long distance. 2) Ronald Koeman had accurate passes. 3) Ronald Koeman had very good vision (great reading of the game). This three features made him DISTINCTIVE and famous. It was his "trademark". This is very important to inform readers about these facts. The great request to Wikipedia's editors is to place these three facts in Koeman's article. Thank You in advance. Best greetings. Daniel - the football analyst and the player. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.191.150.227 ( talk) 00:54, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Per your edit summaries at Hadith and Muslim — what I find odd is that Farrukh's writing style is similar to that of a relatively recent translation of the Qur'an that I've partially read. I'd guess that the bits you removed were Farrukh's own soapboxing, but in a style very heavily influenced by the Qur'an. Nyttend ( talk) 20:32, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Hiya,
Just wanted to ask, when you welcomed on User talk:NADA-TR, did you use a script or tool or something, or just manually edit?
The reason I ask is...lots of people get 'welcomed' that way, and it causes a problem, because the welcome is not in a section; it gets the user off to a bad start with their talk page, because they will think you don't need == Headings ==. We have lots of help requests from users when they have such welcomes, and... well, it gets messy. We're therefore forever changing '''Welcome''' to == Welcome ==
I'm trying to find out if it is simply people subst'ing the welcome template that causes it, or if there is some utility that causes it...so, please let me know. Thanks, Chzz ► 20:01, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

The DYK project ( nominate) 18:03, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Please refrain from disruptive behavior, uncivility and discrimination. Knowing your brave heart ways, old friend, I fully expect you to delete this from your page. I am not trolling or being inappropriate, here is simply an argument. Your persistant and continuous return to one single article Kresimir Chris Kunej ever since its inception, after not one but two Afd's -following my hard work to improve the article in userspace and my complying with all Wiki rules- makes your activities disruptive to the project, and finds you in violation of WP:civil. I can do reverts of your tags all year, but I think it would be more productive to take this to some venue where mediation or dispute resolution takes place. So, please do requset this since I am not sure quite how to (do not wish to research this right now unless I have to). Thanks. Turqoise127 ( talk) 18:29, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
In your case, I don't give a carrot for WP:CIVIL, since anyone who is not you can see how you have persistently badgered, wikilawyered, and whined about most every editor involved in the two AfDs, and that the article, far from "complying with all Wiki rules," is a bunch of unverified stuff, a resume in the form of a Wiki article. "Oh no! They used my text in a seminar in Tubingen in 2007!" Bravo.
Moreover, your concern for the "project" sounds a bit hollow: most of your 607 edits are to your own article, to the AfDs, to the wikilawyering in relation to your article--and there's a few to the AfD discussion for Boba Phat, of course. I think that you should be happy that you have your resume on Wikipedia, even if it is with a big fat COI tag. Happy days! Drmies ( talk) 18:49, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
I have agreed in many ways with editors I have disagreed with, and I have remained civil with most of them. But people who wikilawyer to get their resume published, I got no respect for that. Especially if they remove COI tags without proving that they have no COI. You said before, "you know the kid"--that's reason enough. Besides, I have not forgotten how you speedied a couple of articles I produced: remember George Brown (scholar)? A real person, with real notability. Jealousy got the better of you there also, didn't it. You have yet to apologize for it, but I'm not holding my breath for it--you like playing the victim too much. Well, boo-hoo. Now stay away from my beautiful talk page; if you got something to say to me, bring me up on charges on any of the noticeboards, or send me a letter by carrier pigeon from Utah.

Sorry about the RVV label; I have been barely sweeping articles for the last few years, after spending 3 years creating 100s of them. It's a lot of work to keep up on that many, and honestly, when I see an editor who has never edited the article before come along and wipe out large portions of link sections I almost automatically assume it's vandalism, revert it, then move along. Sorry to lump your concerned effort with those. • Freechild 'sup? 14:37, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Against my word and yours we need to discuss this, civilly and calmly. We are obviously going to get nowhere with snarky comments and edit warring. So, how do you want to solve this? At present, there is no consensus for either inclusion or non-inclusion, as it has no been actively discussed. The inclusion is something that has just happened over time. I feel we should have (at ANI for more eyes) a discussion on this and work something out. We aren't going to get anywhere but blocked, both of us, if we continue to spit snarky comments at each other and revert each others edits. So, truce? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:00, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
Now, there is progress in your message: you say there is no consensus for either inclusion or exclusion. By that I think you mean "no consensus in the TV station project"--which is correct, but that's not all that matters. What I want from you, before we go anywhere, is the acknowledgment that Wikipedia's policies on BLPs and directories apply across the board, since I can not agree to anything that allows unverified information to stand. You have brought forth a few arguments for the reasonability of some of that information. I can see the possibility of a compromise there, where it concerns current staff--but why don't you start by linking to a webpage, whenever possible, where that info is verified? Some time ago you agreed that especially in the case of former staff there are BLP problems, and I think (but seriously, I am not checking your edits!) that in a number of cases (in the past anyway, if I remember correctly) where you reverted me you have not reinstated those unverified/non-notable folk, for which I applaud you (and I hope you are still of the same opinion).
Look, I'm watching the news right now on WSFA, and I want to finish watching that. In the meantime, have a look at that station's page--there's barely a notable person there, and you know it. More than half the article is directory information. I'm leaving it alone, since Rich Thomas is doing his spiel (he's obviously not just the weekend meteorologist). Thanks for your message; we'll talk later. Drmies ( talk) 03:18, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
BTW, there is another matter: I personally don't see the justification for those slogans and lists of names of news programs and I wonder where, in most of those articles, that knowledge comes from, but we can leave that for another day. OK? In the meantime, we'll stop the namecalling and next time we disagree we'll settle it after school on the playground, under the old oak tree, with fisticuffs. Take it easy, Drmies ( talk) 13:51, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi there MIES, VASCO here,
Glad to see everything is (for now resolved) in this situation, even though i think (i could be wrong though) the apology is contrived, not sincere. Also (was totally caught by surprise, because i thought blocked users could do everything but edit, so i assumed they could still send messages and stuff), if you notice his talkpage, watch how he goes in an endless rant about football technicalities to justify his (not being) block(ed), then speaks about differences with two users, one of them me.
About this last part, i feel as though he is trying to make me look bad, again calling me stupid ("nonsense"), saying i don't own articles (does he?) and saying i engage in things i do not (as of now that is, i did it in the past - could his horrible English be to blame for any misunderstanding on my part?); more or less, it seems he is saying "I was blocked, how come Vasco was not?". But i will leave everything as it is - sent him a polite but to-the-point message when i saw what he wrote - hopefully this is the beginning of a good Wikiunderstanding between you two - i say "you two" because i feel that i haven't reached, for reasons that escape me, that kind of understanding with him or any other user in almost four years of editing :(
Cheers, take care - -- Vasco Amaral ( talk) 17:10, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

In reply to this, I usually search for the most general first, and then refine the searches when I get too many irrelevant hits. In this case I didn't even try searching for the Islamic name, as there are too many possible spelling variants, so I simply did a Google Books search for "De Veenboer", fully expecting to get too many false positives for it to be of any use. It was just luck that the first hit was a children's book with some coverage of our De Veenboer, and the third was the book that I cited in the AfD discussion.

Hi Drmies. I'm trying to figure out what is going on here... for instance, in this edit, if I'm reading it right, you reverted the addition of some bluelinked bios to the article. How come? This was a reversion of 23 edits by User:69.180.253.113; you have peppered his talk page with warnings, but why? I haven't looked at the individual edits, but the sum of the 23 edits show here looks at least defensible. He added Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and that person has a Wikipedia article. According to the article she was born and partly raised in Somalia, and now lives in the United States. And so forth. If these people have articles, and are African, and have emigrated to the United States, what is the rationale for excluding them? Herostratus ( talk) 04:49, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
Re your message: The article has been restored by the editor, though this time with references. Some of the references are not very good, but it does seem that she is notable in some regard. The article is a mess though. I agree that the puffery is a little over the top. I suspect that this goes beyond a fan. Checking the photos uploaded for the article, the person is likely to be much closer than a fan such as a friend or PR agent. It appears to me to be somebody much closer than just an enthusiastic fan who happened to get into multiple award ceremonies. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 05:34, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

I had decided a long time ago to award this to you in commemoration of either your 100th DYK or my 100,000th edit. I was absolutely certain that your milestone would occur first, but you've kinda been slacking off lately in the DYK department!

Sorry. I guess I wasn't clear. I wasn't adding sourced text, I was removing a cut and paste job from http://www.scribd.com/doc/32589268/Encyclopedia-of-Vampires-Werewolves-And-Other-Monsters.

I collapsed the warnings (inc yours) on User talk:Random Domains.
Of course, the user has 'seen' them, so it has no bearing on their effect, does not preclude a block if they carry on. I'm just trying to get them on track.
I'm sure you'll understand from my message on their talk; I just wanted to let you know, as a courtesy.
I'll try to help them, if at all possible.
Hope you're not annoyed.

Friend, you are mistaken! I have just spent hours improving the page of my hometown, Borris-in-Ossory, Co. Laois, Ireland. My changes are not vandalism! I have uploaded graphics and built a new info-box. . . I'm very sad that all my work should go to waste! Please explain your reasons. . . if it is because of the missing licenses on the images, I'm just getting to that now. . . or at least I was, when everything went back to the way it had been on that page.

Hello sir, It took me forever how to figure out how to contact you. I'm not very good with wiki.
The reason I am contacting you today is to ask you for your help with my wiki page. From viewing your past edits I feel you have an excellent grasp on what you are doing here.
I noticed someone posted my facebook and twitter pages on wiki the other day and I'm happy they were removed, however I tried to add some articles containing me last night over my iphone and forgot to log in and it appears you removed them as well as some biographic information from my page.
To make a long story short, listeners of my shows created my wiki page and there were some major issues so one of the wiki people who knew what they were doing better than I ever will fixed my page and it has stayed virtually unchanged for many months until last night. I would like to get things back to where they were yesterday. Can you help me doing this.
I realize you were only doing what you felt was best but please sir help me out. Obi Wan Kanobi, you're my only hope.
Thank you for your time, I honestly mean that.
Thamike ( talk) 12:01, 6 August 2010 (UTC)Mike Pilot (ThaMike)
The current version already has plenty of problems--the complete absence of reliable sources, for starters. Google News usually offers reliable sources, but this search, for "Mike Pilot" and "Awful Show," produces nothing. Same with "mediocre show". Even Google searches on the web produce very little: [8] and [9] and [10]. In fact, I am placing a notability tag on the article, since I have doubts that the subject meets WP:N--that's harsh, perhaps, but according to our guidelines. So I'm sorry, I don't think I'm the one to help you here: if this were a candidate for deletion (I won't nominate it), I would not vote to keep it. Sorry, Drmies ( talk) 17:32, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

My article on Safwat Ghayur has been nominated by a one time editor for deletion, to settle scores with me for my earlier blocking of his vanity entries done by his sock puppets. I need your help in placing the AFD discussion on Pakistan related discussion's page.

I don't mind that "truth" according to our NPOV policy lies entirely outside of Wikipedia. But I wish that editors could set their internal compasses to point towards it.

Dear Drmies. Reading the opinions of sport journalists, football trainers/experts, professional players and many football fans - and also - studying the career of Ronald Koeman and comparing him with other players - You can conclude that: 1) Ronald Koeman had powerful and accurate shots - especially from free kicks, penalties and from a long distance. 2) Ronald Koeman had accurate passes. 3) Ronald Koeman had very good vision (great reading of the game). This three features made him DISTINCTIVE and famous. It was his "trademark". This is very important to inform readers about these facts. The great request to Wikipedia's editors is to place these three facts in Koeman's article. Thank You in advance. Best greetings.

Per your edit summaries at Hadith and Muslim — what I find odd is that Farrukh's writing style is similar to that of a relatively recent translation of the Qur'an that I've partially read.

Hiya,
Just wanted to ask, when you welcomed on User talk:NADA-TR, did you use a script or tool or something, or just manually edit?
The reason I ask is...lots of people get 'welcomed' that way, and it causes a problem, because the welcome is not in a section; it gets the user off to a bad start with their talk page, because they will think you don't need == Headings ==. We have lots of help requests from users when they have such welcomes, and... well, it gets messy. We're therefore forever changing '''Welcome''' to == Welcome ==
I'm trying to find out if it is simply people subst'ing the welcome template that causes it, or if there is some utility that causes it...so, please let me know. Thanks, Chzz ► 20:01, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from disruptive behavior, uncivility and discrimination. Knowing your brave heart ways, old friend, I fully expect you to delete this from your page. I am not trolling or being inappropriate, here is simply an argument. Your persistant and continuous return to one single article Kresimir Chris Kunej ever since its inception, after not one but two Afd's -following my hard work to improve the article in userspace and my complying with all Wiki rules- makes your activities disruptive to the project, and finds you in violation of WP:civil. I can do reverts of your tags all year, but I think it would be more productive to take this to some venue where mediation or dispute resolution takes place. So, please do requset this since I am not sure quite how to (do not wish to research this right now unless I have to). Thanks. Turqoise127 ( talk) 18:29, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
In your case, I don't give a carrot for WP:CIVIL, since anyone who is not you can see how you have persistently badgered, wikilawyered, and whined about most every editor involved in the two AfDs, and that the article, far from "complying with all Wiki rules," is a bunch of unverified stuff, a resume in the form of a Wiki article. "Oh no! They used my text in a seminar in Tubingen in 2007!" Bravo.
Moreover, your concern for the "project" sounds a bit hollow: most of your 607 edits are to your own article, to the AfDs, to the wikilawyering in relation to your article--and there's a few to the AfD discussion for Boba Phat, of course. I think that you should be happy that you have your resume on Wikipedia, even if it is with a big fat COI tag. Happy days! Drmies ( talk) 18:49, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
I have agreed in many ways with editors I have disagreed with, and I have remained civil with most of them. But people who wikilawyer to get their resume published, I got no respect for that. Especially if they remove COI tags without proving that they have no COI. You said before, "you know the kid"--that's reason enough. Besides, I have not forgotten how you speedied a couple of articles I produced: remember George Brown (scholar)? A real person, with real notability. Jealousy got the better of you there also, didn't it. You have yet to apologize for it, but I'm not holding my breath for it--you like playing the victim too much. Well, boo-hoo. Now stay away from my beautiful talk page; if you got something to say to me, bring me up on charges on any of the noticeboards, or send me a letter by carrier pigeon from Utah.

Congratulations on this wonderful achievement! Thank you for your continuing contributions which have done so much to expand and improve Wikipedia. (And, personally, I was glad to see that number 100 was art, rather than bacon, related.) MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 18:36, 25 August 2010 (UTC) |
I just wanted to let you know that I removed the section you added on my talk page. Looking at the history of the page, there is not a single edit from me there. - Donald Duck ( talk) 16:44, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

This may become ugly. Editor keeps re-adding content and is unresponsive on its talk page. Davtra ( talk) 23:39, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Heh - once Panyd threw out the promo chunks I was more willingly to edit a little. Best Hekerui ( talk) 15:22, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
