He was just passing through, took a POV-fancy to something there, and is now warring over it. It is unlikely that he would have returned to the article had I not reverted his edit in the first place.

IMO the 1 week block was reasonable at first instance but begins to not feel like enough now, given his apparent intention to sit it out and resume the same activity if nobody unblocks him earlier. At ANI I suggested salting the userpage since I don't have any better ideas, short of an indef if it comes to that.

Hiyas there Beeble. A very quick question about the above page, and this recent edit that was made to it. I remember very vaguely (It was over two years ago) that there was a persistent sockpuppeteer who would use a load of accounts to vandalize article's related to special education. I just came across the above edit on a similar page, which you protected from sockpuppeteering, and where a relatively new editor made a similar style edit to what i remember from that previous case.
I really have no clue if this editor is related to the above blocked (banned?) editor, or even to the sockpuppetry that caused the protection. Any chance you could have a look at it? Thanks in advance! Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 21:29, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

My edit of the Portadown FC page is not vandalism, it is to remove a sectarian paragraph that has been inserted onto the Portadown page potraying Portadown in a false and bad light. I also added some up to date information about the club which is of use to anyone who views the page.
Everything I tried to post in that page is absolutely true and veryfiable. The other person who is deleting my changes and replacing them for his text is obviously someone from NGD -the company behind Regnum Online-. I tried to post those changes just to give the possible customers an impartial and sincere view of the game as it is actually and not a propaganda talk as they do. If you think this is wrong, then I am going to doubt about the quality of Wikipedia. Thank you for your time.-- Kelthicum ( talk) 21:06, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Hiyas there Driquet!
First off, very nice work on the Computer security compromised by hardware failure page. Unfortunately i could only glance over it so far, But it looks very promising, and i guess i will definately enjoy reading it entirely this evening. Besides this i moved the draft page you created at User talk:Driquet/Computer security compromised by hardware failure to the mainspace to preserve the edit history, which is actually required for copyright reasons (See WP:HISTMERGE for some details). Besides this, did you consider nominating your article for a WP:DYK? I haven't fully checked it, but it may very well be eligible for one. Nothing like seeing a lot of hard work showcased on the front page where everyone can see it, after all. :) Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 07:31, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Hiyas there Bruin2!
I just removed the User talk:Bruin2/William G. Skelly page you marked for removal. If you need more userpage deletions, it may be more convenient to tag them with the {{db-u1}} template. This will place the article in the relevant deletion categories so that it can easily be spotted by people currently doing cleanups. The template equally saves you the hassle of having to type an explanation along with the helpme template(helpme based deletion request are fine as well, but the DB template is likely more convenient).

Hi Excirial - I appreciate your help in cleaning up the Fuqua School of Business page. I noticed that most other top business schools have lots of promotional material on their wikipedia pages and do not have clear citations around things like alumni, academics, school history, etc. on their wikipedia pages. Specifically, these schools include: Harvard Business School, Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Stanford Graduate School of Business, Sloan School of Management, Columbia Business School, Stern School of Business, Booth School of Business, Tuck School of Business, Haas School of Business, Ross School of Business, Kellogg School of Management, Yale School of Management, Darden Graduate School of Business Administration, and the Johnson Graduate School of Management.
Could you also clean up those pages as well? This would allow all schools to function in a fair environment on Wikipedia in which all data is accurate, non-promotional, well sourced, and patrolled/cleaned-up when necessary by administrators. I have also asked Tnxman307 to look into editing each other school, but Tnxman307 has not followed through to perform such edits (it has been about a month since I notified Tnxman307 of this). Not sure how to resolve this and don't want to get the feeling that the Fuqua School of Business, as compared with other business schools, is being unfairly targeted by administrators. Thanks.

Despite multiple warnings from three different editors to Flying Fische about removing templates without addressing the issues they raise [4] [5] [6], and despite two previous blocks for this offense, one of them by you [7] and one from another editor [8], he removed yet another maintenance template today [9].

Dear Excirial, Greetings, It was quite surprising to find my article "Ashworth Harold McGee" deleted from the Wikipedia English section. This article is purely my creation and all photographs icluded are from my personal family album. There is no question of any infringement of interest or rights whatsoever or violation of copyrights.Nor is there any kind of vandalism or insult to any one either living or dead. The article is purely a biography of a renowned Methodist Evangelist of India who lived from 1898 - 1970. I therefore very humbly request you to please undelete the article and let the world know of the good deeds of the Rev. Ashworth Harold McGee. Wishing you all the very best, yours sincerely, Raja McGee ( talk) 19:48, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Raja McGee.
Hi Excirial, I have published an informative, biographical article entitled Christopher Scott (choreographer) and it has been marked for "Speedy Deletion." I have attempted to defend the validity of the article on my Talk page but am unsure if I'm supposed to do something else to prevent deletion. I am new at this and anxious to learn how to publish on Wikipedia.
What is the best way for me to get the Speedy Deletion warning removed. I am not finished with the article although I think the fundamentals are there, but I plan to add to it continually as the story of Christopher Scott unfolds. Thank you so much for any help you can give me.

I am sorry if I put something in the wrong place (Afghanistan War)....are you saying I put it into the article itself? I thought I was posting to the discussion area. If so, sorry and glad you got it quickly.
At issue is some guy calling legitimate, factual questioning of an article "disruptive" and deleting it w/o discussion/notice. This has not happened before, and I am infuriated. I see a lot of people here who do not understand the differences among fact, fiction and opinion, and people who think theirs is the only viewpoint. If there is a problem with something I wrote, I should be first notified. I don't know how to talk directly to this person. I will spend some time and figure it out.

Ahoy Excirial, I confess I am somewhat confused and quite new to editing in wiki. I apologise in advance if I do not follow protocol 100%! I tried to add some useful info to the page 'folding boat' as I consider the current version extremely bias to the point where it is a diatribe about Porta Bote which is by no means the only folding boat on the market. I sell the Origami and Fliptail dinghies on line and they are extremely popular so I do not understand why my added paragraph about them was removed. Perhaps you could explain to me why I am not allowed to post useful information when the current article might as well be an advert for Porta Bote with half a dozen direct links to their site! I tried to cite a video which gives visual evidence of a claim I made in my paragraph, that of the speed attained with a 3.3hp engine. When my paragraph was first removed, I though maybe it was the You Tube link (although I checked first and was informed that it was OK to link to You tube) so I removed it and tried again but then you took it down. It seems that the page as it stands is acceptable but I can't for the life of me see why. I feel that it is poorly written, bias, one sided, lacking in useful facts and certainly could include information about many more folding boats.

Hiyas there Beeble. A very quick question about the above page, and this recent edit that was made to it. I remember very vaguely (It was over two years ago) that there was a persistent sockpuppeteer who would use a load of accounts to vandalize article's related to special education. I just came across the above edit on a similar page, which you protected from sockpuppeteering, and where a relatively new editor made a similar style edit to what i remember from that previous case.
I really have no clue if this editor is related to the above blocked (banned?) editor, or even to the sockpuppetry that caused the protection. Any chance you could have a look at it? Thanks in advance! Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 21:29, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

My edit of the Portadown FC page is not vandalism, it is to remove a sectarian paragraph that has been inserted onto the Portadown page potraying Portadown in a false and bad light. I also added some up to date information about the club which is of use to anyone who views the page.
Everything I tried to post in that page is absolutely true and veryfiable. The other person who is deleting my changes and replacing them for his text is obviously someone from NGD -the company behind Regnum Online-. I tried to post those changes just to give the possible customers an impartial and sincere view of the game as it is actually and not a propaganda talk as they do. If you think this is wrong, then I am going to doubt about the quality of Wikipedia. Thank you for your time.-- Kelthicum ( talk) 21:06, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Hiyas there Driquet!
First off, very nice work on the Computer security compromised by hardware failure page. Unfortunately i could only glance over it so far, But it looks very promising, and i guess i will definately enjoy reading it entirely this evening. Besides this i moved the draft page you created at User talk:Driquet/Computer security compromised by hardware failure to the mainspace to preserve the edit history, which is actually required for copyright reasons (See WP:HISTMERGE for some details). Besides this, did you consider nominating your article for a WP:DYK? I haven't fully checked it, but it may very well be eligible for one. Nothing like seeing a lot of hard work showcased on the front page where everyone can see it, after all. :) Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 07:31, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Excirial. I am supporting a new member who is an academic well able to contribute a lot to Wiki, but is looking to orient himself with house-style, gadgets etc. I want to recommend the citation gadget to him - the one which appears on your toolbar in edit mode, with links to various forms for citations for web, news etc. I vaguely remember getting mine from My Preferences a couple of years ago.

Hi, I have received warnings about 'unconstructive' posts and 'vandalism' regarding some updated entries to the UK Punk Bands list. I can see nothing wrong with these entries - it is just a list of band names and links to a Wikipedia entry on the 'Bullshit Detector' punk compilation series. Is this just an automated bot responding to the phrase 'Bullshit Detector'? I have now been threatened with removal of editing rights, so please could you remove the warnings.

Hello Excirial! A couple months ago I warned ip 63.199.37.150 on vandalism of Ostrich on his talk page. I noticed he had vandalism all the way back to 2008. After I warned him, there have been reapeated warnings and blocks to his account, with no sign of stopping his vandalism. I have requested that ip 63.199.37.150 be blocked permanently. I also left a message on his talk page. Please connsider my request. Shakinglord ( talk) 21:36, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Hiyas there Bruin2!
I just removed the User talk:Bruin2/William G. Skelly page you marked for removal. If you need more userpage deletions, it may be more convenient to tag them with the {{db-u1}} template. This will place the article in the relevant deletion categories so that it can easily be spotted by people currently doing cleanups. The template equally saves you the hassle of having to type an explanation along with the helpme template(helpme based deletion request are fine as well, but the DB template is likely more convenient). Just to let you know :). Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 17:54, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Excirial - I appreciate your help in cleaning up the Fuqua School of Business page. I noticed that most other top business schools have lots of promotional material on their wikipedia pages and do not have clear citations around things like alumni, academics, school history, etc. on their wikipedia pages. Specifically, these schools include: Harvard Business School, Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Stanford Graduate School of Business, Sloan School of Management, Columbia Business School, Stern School of Business, Booth School of Business, Tuck School of Business, Haas School of Business, Ross School of Business, Kellogg School of Management, Yale School of Management, Darden Graduate School of Business Administration, and the Johnson Graduate School of Management.
Could you also clean up those pages as well? This would allow all schools to function in a fair environment on Wikipedia in which all data is accurate, non-promotional, well sourced, and patrolled/cleaned-up when necessary by administrators. I have also asked Tnxman307 to look into editing each other school, but Tnxman307 has not followed through to perform such edits (it has been about a month since I notified Tnxman307 of this). Not sure how to resolve this and don't want to get the feeling that the Fuqua School of Business, as compared with other business schools, is being unfairly targeted by administrators. Thanks.

Despite multiple warnings from three different editors to Flying Fische about removing templates without addressing the issues they raise [4] [5] [6], and despite two previous blocks for this offense, one of them by you [7] and one from another editor [8], he removed yet another maintenance template today [9].

Dear Excirial, Greetings, It was quite surprising to find my article "Ashworth Harold McGee" deleted from the Wikipedia English section. This article is purely my creation and all photographs icluded are from my personal family album. There is no question of any infringement of interest or rights whatsoever or violation of copyrights.Nor is there any kind of vandalism or insult to any one either living or dead. The article is purely a biography of a renowned Methodist Evangelist of India who lived from 1898 - 1970. I therefore very humbly request you to please undelete the article and let the world know of the good deeds of the Rev. Ashworth Harold McGee. Wishing you all the very best, yours sincerely, Raja McGee ( talk) 19:48, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Raja McGee.
Hi Excirial, I have published an informative, biographical article entitled Christopher Scott (choreographer) and it has been marked for "Speedy Deletion." I have attempted to defend the validity of the article on my Talk page but am unsure if I'm supposed to do something else to prevent deletion. I am new at this and anxious to learn how to publish on Wikipedia.
What is the best way for me to get the Speedy Deletion warning removed. I am not finished with the article although I think the fundamentals are there, but I plan to add to it continually as the story of Christopher Scott unfolds. Thank you so much for any help you can give me.

I am sorry if I put something in the wrong place (Afghanistan War)....are you saying I put it into the article itself? I thought I was posting to the discussion area. If so, sorry and glad you got it quickly.
At issue is some guy calling legitimate, factual questioning of an article "disruptive" and deleting it w/o discussion/notice. This has not happened before, and I am infuriated. I see a lot of people here who do not understand the differences among fact, fiction and opinion, and people who think theirs is the only viewpoint. If there is a problem with something I wrote, I should be first notified. I don't know how to talk directly to this person. I will spend some time and figure it out.

Ahoy Excirial, I confess I am somewhat confused and quite new to editing in wiki. I apologise in advance if I do not follow protocol 100%! I tried to add some useful info to the page 'folding boat' as I consider the current version extremely bias to the point where it is a diatribe about Porta Bote which is by no means the only folding boat on the market. I sell the Origami and Fliptail dinghies on line and they are extremely popular so I do not understand why my added paragraph about them was removed. Perhaps you could explain to me why I am not allowed to post useful information when the current article might as well be an advert for Porta Bote with half a dozen direct links to their site! I tried to cite a video which gives visual evidence of a claim I made in my paragraph, that of the speed attained with a 3.3hp engine. When my paragraph was first removed, I though maybe it was the You Tube link (although I checked first and was informed that it was OK to link to You tube) so I removed it and tried again but then you took it down. It seems that the page as it stands is acceptable but I can't for the life of me see why. I feel that it is poorly written, bias, one sided, lacking in useful facts and certainly could include information about many more folding boats.

May i ask the both of you to cease reverting eachother, and instead discuss the issue on the talk page? Reverting over and over will not solve the issue, and it will definately not improve the discussion, so please, i would really prefer to see this solved without the need for silly measures such as full protections or 3RR blocks. Also as a warning, you are technically already over the 3RR Josh, which normally means an automatic block. So please, don't step over it any further and discuss before changing again. And please provide a source on the talk page for the claim. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 19:46, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
