Hello, I am nominating Birbal Jha for speedy deletion, but am not sure if I am doing it correctly. As you seem to have had experience with this set of articles, maybe have a look ? Pardon my German (Fiiiisch!) ( talk) 00:38, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

But, the things is, I wasn't doing any of the things listed in G10. I never made any statements to, harass,intimidate,bully,threaten and, humiliate the subject of the article. I was making a reference, to what the subject is mainly nicknamed for by another, YouTuber and, what the subject would be commonly called for in the YouTube community. For Ex Kent Hovind is known, by the name of, Dumb on purpose guy I wouldn't be harassing the subject, I would just be stating the nickname by which, the subject is known by. Harassing someone would be this, Kent hovinds dumb on purpose statements are full of stupidity. I would be making an Adhom to the person and in fact harassing the subject. Simply making a statement, in which, the subject is nicknamed for, isn't harassing it's just stating facts. ( EminamaDron) ( Talk to me) 18:16, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
Which infobox template do you recommend for a consensus All-American college football player who had a substantial college career, but never played a single down of preseason or regular season professional football and is not a coach? I have several of these that are in need of an appropriate infobox, and "Infobox college football player" appears to be structured for current undergraduates. If we don't have an appropriate template, maybe we need to contemplate adding some new variables to "Infobox college football player," like degree, graduation date, post-graduation career, etc. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 02:44, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Dear Eagles247,
First and foremost, I wanted to thank you for defending my work on the University of Georgia's Isaiah Crowell the other day ago. My name is Rod Hayes as it appears as <Rod hayes>. I created my account so fast I didn't realize my surname wasn't capitalized. Anyway, I love your work, and this may surprise you, but I am a Philadelphia Eagles fan too. Michael Vick has always been a favorite of mine.(not what he did to his pitbulls by any means of course) I also believe in my Lord and savior Jesus when it was said in the word of God, "And he lifted up himself and said unto them, 'He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.'" As you see, I believe in forgiveness.
However, my message to you now is actually about Chili Davis. Someone is using his Wikipedia article to slander and tear down Davis' good name. I don't know where to report such information here on Wikipedia, but I don't think the Wikipedia website should be the place for printing information that would best fit inself inside 'The National Inquirer.' What can be done to protect Chili's good name here in regard to the detailed information from a court case involving Davis some nine years ago or so? Davis has just taken a job with the Oakland A's as their hitting instructor. Something needs to be done about his Wikipedia? It has to be cleaned up. I'd be so grateful if you could assist me with this.
Thanks, Rod Hayes — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rod hayes ( talk • contribs) 02:08, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
OK. Thanks, Eagles247. I have thought about working in a "personal life" section for Chili that would mention his relationship with former girlfriend Tina - and how that led to the two breaking up - and court battle following that where Davis had to pay $350,000. Still, I will see what you are able to come up with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rod hayes ( talk • contribs) 03:14, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Re: "I don't see consensus against this change (using your logic to start the widespread cleanup after waiting a day or so), so I'm adding 'Pro Bowler.'" ---- Your edit summary on several of your NFL player edits from yesterday
E, I've worked with you too often and too productively to go looking for a fight, especially over something relatively trivial such as the presence or absence of two more or two fewer characters in NFL player infoboxes. That having been said, let's be clear on several points. On December 28, I asked for comments on the WP:NFL talk page regarding the use of the word "selection" following All-Pro, Pro Bowl and other honors listed in NFL player infoboxes. That was two weeks ago, not a "couple of days." Six registered users who are regular CFB/NFL editors weighed in against the use of the word "selection" in the infobox. One IP user, who can't string a coherent sentence together or form a logical argument, advocated for the continued use of "selection." You were notably silent on the issue for ten days, then raised an objection based on "parallelism" a couple of days ago. In response I pointed out that (a) perfect parallelism isn't possible in describing infobox honors unless we include other superfluous words like "winner" or "honoree" following other infobox honors, too; and (b) the emerging consensus after ten days was to omit the word "selection" from infobox honors. Frankly, I think the added "er" on "Pro Bowl" is unnecessary, but "Pro Bowler" takes up far less space and causes far fewer infobox line-wraps than using the words "Pro Bowl selection" instead. There is obviously no consensus to add the "er" because you are the only one who has commented on point. If you feel that strongly about it, I suggest you open a separate talk page section and ask for comments because I suspect your original comment may have been lost among all the incoherent nonsense written by the IP user. I can live with "Pro Bowler," but I will object to the continued use of "selection" and the addition of words like "winner" following trophy names, etc., in order to achieve some form of "parallelism." The original point was to remove unnecessary verbiage from the infobox honors, not insert more of it. I stand by that. Regards, Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 16:50, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

The way I'm reading the BOT statement included in the CNN article I found, it sounds a lot more like Paterno was forced to resign. The statement by the board of trustees clearly says that Paterno is still a tenured faculty member. He wouldn't still be on the faculty if he were fired.

E, I've got a slow-moving edit war with IP user 69.110.157.54 on the Patrick Willis article. IP continues to make edits regarding "first-team" and "second-team" selections that use non-standard capitalization and hyphenation. I've repeatedly attempted to engage the IP through user talk pages and edit summaries, but he refuses to engage in discussion and continues to make or restore earlier edits that include incorrect grammar, punctuation, capitalization, hyphenation. The IP apparently has a dynamic IP address (see article edit history), and I have attempted to engage him on at least three different IP user talk pages over the past week. These are, of course, small points, but it seems ridiculous to continually restore edits that use improper punctuation and non-standard capitalization. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 00:02, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Just wanted to stop by and say that you're doing a great job on the Paterno article and don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Cheers, Mackensen (talk) 02:31, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
Actually, could you add the following to the article, as we might as well clear up some confusion: "On January 21st, 2012, after it was reported that Paterno's health had taken a turn for the worse, it was incorrectly reported by CBS that he had passed away of lung cancer. It was later reported that CBS had learned of his purported death through an online tweet from Onward State, the online Penn State news outlet. [1]" Thanks!

Hi there,
On the 29th of December, 2011, the page PoolWerx was put up for speedy deletion and deleted whilst I was away on holidays. When I returned I found the page deleted. I struggle to see how the page could be nominated for speed deletion, as less than a month earlier the page received a 'barnstar' award from the administrator Cindamuse for developing a quality page. Since the 'barnstar' was received there has only been really minor changes made.
Could you please inform me as to where the page conflicts with Wikipedia guidelines so that I can correct them. I would also appreciate a copy of the deleted page if that is ok.
Kind Regards, Shannon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shannonob90 ( talk • contribs) 06:31, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
I had left only his birth year in the article per WP:MOSBIO: "For example, exact birth and death dates are certainly important to the person being described, but if they are also mentioned in the body and in the infobox, the vital year range can be sufficient to provide context in some cases. Birth and death places should be mentioned in the body if known, and in the lead if they are relevant to the person's notability." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bagumba ( talk • contribs) 22:09, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

its not for edwin mcmanus, but for erwin mcmanus. and yes, this is the exact person whose bio is in wikipedia. the same erwin mcmanus who is the pastor and leader of mosaic church is the erwin mcmanus who owns mcmanus studios and is working in film and fashion. one in the same. the same person. erwin launched his brand called MCMANUS in november of 2011 and the website is http://mcmanus.la. he is still the pastor and leader of mosaic church, but his primary focus and his current work is on his MCMANUS fashion brand. i want to be perfectly clear, the "erwin mcmanus" for whom this article has been written is the exact same "erwin mcmanus" whose page i'm am attempting to update.

What are the concerns raised that I cannot have Rollback. Some user gave it to me, and took it away. Thanks,-- Rubinkumar Talk 22:09, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
“ | After you have spent some time (50-200 edits) reverting blatant vandalism, you can request it again," "not enough evidence of reverting vandalism," "lack of experience, | ” |
Here is a list of the containing items:
"After you have spent some time (50-200 edits) reverting blatant vandalism, you can request it again,...". I have 125 or so edits with Twinkle and other vandalism fighting tools such as Lupin's anti-vandal tool, and Huggle on the test wiki. As this user reminded me to do, I am requesting it again.
"Not enough evidence of reverting vandalism" is just simply not true. As I said earlier, I have over 100 edits reverting vandalism, and 450 edits total. This doesn't make any sense.
"Lack of experience" has been fixed. My edit count since I requested that rollback was about 395. I also know how to use hundreds of templates. That is NOT lack of experience at all. I also know how to mark CSD as a bonus.
Also, something I don't get is that I got my privileges given and revoked very quickly. I didn't make one single edit during the time they weren't revoked. How? Did I do anything wrong?

Hi. A little while ago, I looked at my watchlist and was surprised to see that a DYK nomination that I had reviewed a few hours earlier ( this one) had been deleted. You deleted this as a G6 "Housekeeping and routine (non-controversial) cleanup)" after the user who created the nomination had blanked the page and requested deletion.
IMO, this was not a routine deletion. Under the current (relatively new) process at WP:DYK, DYK nominations are templated (similar to AfDs) and nominations that fail (including nominations for articles that were deleted) are marked "rejected" and closed (at which point they disappear from the nomination list), not deleted. This was not a simple matter of someone creating a nomination template and changing their mind -- because the template had been transcluded on the DYK nominations page, a redlink now shows up on that page, and the template contained the record of reviews done by another user and myself.
I don't believe that this deletion was an appropriate application of G6. The nomination should have been rejected and the template should have been properly closed. I could reverse the deletion, but I don't want to wheel-war -- and I figure it's useful to let you know about current processes at DYK, since I know that nobody can keep up with all the changes that occur in the various different corners of Wikipedia. Could you please restore it (or let me know that it would be OK for me to restore it and close it)? -- Orlady ( talk) 06:02, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Dear Eagles247,
First and foremost, I wanted to thank you for defending my work on the University of Georgia's Isaiah Crowell the other day ago. My name is Rod Hayes as it appears as <Rod hayes>. I created my account so fast I didn't realize my surname wasn't capitalized. Anyway, I love your work, and this may surprise you, but I am a Philadelphia Eagles fan too. Michael Vick has always been a favorite of mine.(not what he did to his pitbulls by any means of course) I also believe in my Lord and savior Jesus when it was said in the word of God, "And he lifted up himself and said unto them, 'He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.'" As you see, I believe in forgiveness.
However, my message to you now is actually about Chili Davis. Someone is using his Wikipedia article to slander and tear down Davis' good name. I don't know where to report such information here on Wikipedia, but I don't think the Wikipedia website should be the place for printing information that would best fit inself inside 'The National Inquirer.' What can be done to protect Chili's good name here in regard to the detailed information from a court case involving Davis some nine years ago or so? Davis has just taken a job with the Oakland A's as their hitting instructor. Something needs to be done about his Wikipedia? It has to be cleaned up. I'd be so grateful if you could assist me with this.

OK. Thanks, Eagles247. I have thought about working in a "personal life" section for Chili that would mention his relationship with former girlfriend Tina - and how that led to the two breaking up - and court battle following that where Davis had to pay $350,000. Still, I will see what you are able to come up with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rod hayes ( talk • contribs) 03:14, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Re: "I don't see consensus against this change (using your logic to start the widespread cleanup after waiting a day or so), so I'm adding 'Pro Bowler.'" ---- Your edit summary on several of your NFL player edits from yesterday
E, I've worked with you too often and too productively to go looking for a fight, especially over something relatively trivial such as the presence or absence of two more or two fewer characters in NFL player infoboxes. That having been said, let's be clear on several points. On December 28, I asked for comments on the WP:NFL talk page regarding the use of the word "selection" following All-Pro, Pro Bowl and other honors listed in NFL player infoboxes. That was two weeks ago, not a "couple of days." Six registered users who are regular CFB/NFL editors weighed in against the use of the word "selection" in the infobox. One IP user, who can't string a coherent sentence together or form a logical argument, advocated for the continued use of "selection." You were notably silent on the issue for ten days, then raised an objection based on "parallelism" a couple of days ago. In response I pointed out that (a) perfect parallelism isn't possible in describing infobox honors unless we include other superfluous words like "winner" or "honoree" following other infobox honors, too; and (b) the emerging consensus after ten days was to omit the word "selection" from infobox honors. Frankly, I think the added "er" on "Pro Bowl" is unnecessary, but "Pro Bowler" takes up far less space and causes far fewer infobox line-wraps than using the words "Pro Bowl selection" instead. There is obviously no consensus to add the "er" because you are the only one who has commented on point. If you feel that strongly about it, I suggest you open a separate talk page section and ask for comments because I suspect your original comment may have been lost among all the incoherent nonsense written by the IP user. I can live with "Pro Bowler," but I will object to the continued use of "selection" and the addition of words like "winner" following trophy names, etc., in order to achieve some form of "parallelism." The original point was to remove unnecessary verbiage from the infobox honors, not insert more of it. I stand by that. Regards, Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 16:50, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

E, I've got a slow-moving edit war with IP user 69.110.157.54 on the Patrick Willis article. IP continues to make edits regarding "first-team" and "second-team" selections that use non-standard capitalization and hyphenation. I've repeatedly attempted to engage the IP through user talk pages and edit summaries, but he refuses to engage in discussion and continues to make or restore earlier edits that include incorrect grammar, punctuation, capitalization, hyphenation. The IP apparently has a dynamic IP address (see article edit history), and I have attempted to engage him on at least three different IP user talk pages over the past week. These are, of course, small points, but it seems ridiculous to continually restore edits that use improper punctuation and non-standard capitalization. Thanks.

Hi there,
On the 29th of December, 2011, the page PoolWerx was put up for speedy deletion and deleted whilst I was away on holidays. When I returned I found the page deleted. I struggle to see how the page could be nominated for speed deletion, as less than a month earlier the page received a 'barnstar' award from the administrator Cindamuse for developing a quality page. Since the 'barnstar' was received there has only been really minor changes made.
Could you please inform me as to where the page conflicts with Wikipedia guidelines so that I can correct them. I would also appreciate a copy of the deleted page if that is ok.

I had left only his birth year in the article per WP:MOSBIO: "For example, exact birth and death dates are certainly important to the person being described, but if they are also mentioned in the body and in the infobox, the vital year range can be sufficient to provide context in some cases. Birth and death places should be mentioned in the body if known, and in the lead if they are relevant to the person's notability." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bagumba ( talk • contribs) 22:09, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

“ | After you have spent some time (50-200 edits) reverting blatant vandalism, you can request it again," "not enough evidence of reverting vandalism," "lack of experience, | ” |
Here is a list of the containing items:
"After you have spent some time (50-200 edits) reverting blatant vandalism, you can request it again,...". I have 125 or so edits with Twinkle and other vandalism fighting tools such as Lupin's anti-vandal tool, and Huggle on the test wiki. As this user reminded me to do, I am requesting it again.
"Not enough evidence of reverting vandalism" is just simply not true. As I said earlier, I have over 100 edits reverting vandalism, and 450 edits total. This doesn't make any sense.
"Lack of experience" has been fixed. My edit count since I requested that rollback was about 395. I also know how to use hundreds of templates. That is NOT lack of experience at all. I also know how to mark CSD as a bonus.
Also, something I don't get is that I got my privileges given and revoked very quickly. I didn't make one single edit during the time they weren't revoked. How? Did I do anything wrong?

Hi. A little while ago, I looked at my watchlist and was surprised to see that a DYK nomination that I had reviewed a few hours earlier ( this one) had been deleted. You deleted this as a G6 "Housekeeping and routine (non-controversial) cleanup)" after the user who created the nomination had blanked the page and requested deletion.
IMO, this was not a routine deletion. Under the current (relatively new) process at WP:DYK, DYK nominations are templated (similar to AfDs) and nominations that fail (including nominations for articles that were deleted) are marked "rejected" and closed (at which point they disappear from the nomination list), not deleted. This was not a simple matter of someone creating a nomination template and changing their mind -- because the template had been transcluded on the DYK nominations page, a redlink now shows up on that page, and the template contained the record of reviews done by another user and myself.
I don't believe that this deletion was an appropriate application of G6. The nomination should have been rejected and the template should have been properly closed. I could reverse the deletion, but I don't want to wheel-war -- and I figure it's useful to let you know about current processes at DYK, since I know that nobody can keep up with all the changes that occur in the various different corners of Wikipedia. Could you please restore it (or let me know that it would be OK for me to restore it and close it)? -- Orlady ( talk) 06:02, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
