You just mentioned that my change seemed unconstructive, but you did not change the second reference to this event. There are several reasons for my change. The notion of sodomy is unprecise. The first of all we do not know precisely what happened in the town of Sodoma. The second is that the whole concept is religiously flavored. The religious interpretation might be different in Arabic contriesand English speeking contries. The third is that what happened might not fit well into the definition of Sodomy as given in the article on Sodomy ("anal or other copulation-like act, especially between male persons or between a man and animal").

Hi - Concerning your warning to USER:173.67.255.130 about the recent blanking of a section of The Wizard of Oz (1939 film) , I should point out that this IP has done this several times before to various sections in the same article, all without any explanation - [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. The IP has also blanked this section of another article without explanation, which went unwarned, in addition to this vandalism.
With all due respect, isn't something a little more preventative than a polite warning to this user called for? Repeated disruptive behavior such as this should at least result in a lengthy block, if not an outright topic ban to prevent such disruption in the future. The two previous warnings issued to this IP don't seem to have had any effect. Am I wrong? Shirtwaist ☎ 08:52, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Excirial,
This is the first time I've tried to edit anything on Wikipedia and I was hoping you could help me out. I tried to edit the page for Chcicago Children's Museum earlier and noticed you reverted the edits. After reading the rules about editing, I completely understand and I apologize for the hassle.
I would like to add some info about what CCM actually does vs. just a few lines about our history and several paragraphs about our location. Can I still do this or am I currently blocked?
Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Excirial!
I contacted you about your reverts on the Utica NY page just now. Could you explain the revert? The page is a total disaster so I removed a doubled link, and several of the items on the bloated "Signature Events" section.
The article starts of with the title and after the basic paragraph you see "Geography and climate"? I moved it and "Demographics" below history and more useful initials figuring the huge graphs and charts were a little much. What other cities could we find on Wikipedia that follow this odd and cumbersome formatting like this? It just seemed odd and glaring and has caught my attention for some time now. The folks in utica have an obsession with their Wikipedia page they discuss it on the local "Topix" page. They also place a huge emphasis on weather in their area both local news stations open with news and withing 7 minutes begin discussing at miniumum 15 minutes of weather with a recap after sports after that. And that's on a warm summer evening. Ditto the news paper to some extent. I'm not kidding so it seemed some of that weird enthusiasm has managed to find its way with enthusiasm onto the wiki page here.
If you look at Utica's page you might notice all the NFPs and minor minor local organizations have all been listed also in discordance with like articles on the Wikipedia. As well as a (to a local at least) lot of gross embellishment, itself a Utica trait of notoriety there. I drop in from time to time and make sure they aren't claiming their Auditorium was the "Inspiration for Madison Square Garden" despite its architect building an almost identical design some years earlier in NC etc, and a strangely inordinate number of other like wives tales I heard from them living there over the years and later learned were completely unfounded and untrue.
That Utica page has become a sort of untended battlefield between reality and their imaginary land Excirial. If that sounds strange I'm sorry but to someone with a little experience on the place that's not strange at all that's just "Utica".
So I'll check in and see what you decide sometime, I see by your barnstar for helping out that you'll make a good choice or keep it in mind when you see someone expect go try to tighten that page up it looks ridiculous... if you compare it with a like-sized similar city's Wikipedia article. Everyone in town with the slightest claim to fame has their website listed and embellishments in full force trying to get in on the act like it's a free website. There is not enough normal, plain history and facts as you'd see in a normal Wikipedia page. Just count how many businesses are listed on the page alone. It's something like a cross between apublic edited version of one of those junk content farm "Business Listings" sites and a "Myspace" page. If you strike changes to that much bloat and incorrectly sequenced charts and "Demographics" it just grows until the huge stack of lists as you see there and easily stands out as inconsistent with what you'd expect to see on a typical cities page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.241.24.237 ( talk) 19:22, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi, i am kind of mad at wikipedia at the moment. We cannot fix info that is wrong on here! i mean, isn't that the whole point of wikipedia??? my friend was on her wikipedia account and called me because it would not let her change some false information. She was just trying to make wikipedia be more accurate on all of their information. I contacted you throught this page a little bit ago and well the only reason that i was on that 3rd level vandalism is because my brother came on ym computer and thought that it would be funny if he changed the queen of england to my name! So this system is not very fair in my opinion. My civics teacher tells us to speak our thoughts about this kind of stuff, and i feel the need to speak. One of my teachers even said that she could not change some false info on wikipedia! I am speaking my opinion, so please take this into conciteration. If your info is wrong because people come and change it, well, no body will care! no one goes on the website for stuff like that! Everyone knows that all of the info is wrong here already, so why would you even care at this point? Thank you for listening.

For example, yesterday afternoon, one of the sites I watch, Spit (landform), was vandalised by 68.191.254.214 (Talk). After "un-doing" his edits, I clicked onto his Talk page. May I suggest that you do the same? It makes interesting reading. Why are un-registered, anonymous editors alowed to operate? It makes no sense to me.
He seems to be a serial vandal, who is repeatedly warned...and merely goes to another site, only to be warned again. Having just previewed this posting, I see that both the ID number AND the(Talk) are in red. Yesterday the former was red but the latter was blue. What has happened?

Good afternoon Excirial,
I loved your last "Quote of the moment" and the today's is a great one too.
Once again, thank you for the explanation. I thought it better not to indent this communication, but rather to start afresh.
I read, with great interest, your reply to IsoMorpheus(Talk) yesterday, because I had been wondering about the subject of moving WITHIN an article... (NOT the whole article elsewhere, or move over a part of another article ... but say, hypothetically, the fourth section to become the sixth.)
Returning to my original subject, as I understand it, an editor who has not registered, or an editor who has not logged in, will be allocated, automatically, a numerical IP address which, being dynamic, will be different every time. If this is correct when, if ever, will the offender read a posted warning?
I look forward to hearing from you. With best wishes, Gareth Griffith-Jones ( talk) 14:40, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Good evening Excirial,
I would request your input on two discussions that are currently running on Talk:The Sopranos, namely, Infobox, actors and, Italian-American, adjective hyphenated. The former has become a "tennis match"..! Can you help us to reach a conclusion, please? The latter seems to have migrated from The Godfather (the novel) and the problem here is the confusion between when it is in the noun form and when in the adjectival form. How will it ever be solved? I look forward to hearing from you again.
With best wishes,

Hi, as this shows that article has reached a point of completeness and stability where no major additions are made by IPs and all that happens via IPs is vandalism.

Hi Excirial,
I'm writing to ask why my recent changes to the Chicago Children's Museum page were removed. I changed incorrect information about the number of visitors served, added information about additional free admission to the public, and included information about what the museum actual does as an institution. Some of the language did come from the museum website, but I was careful to try and take out any bias/marketing-type language. Please let me know what issues you had with the changes, so that I can include this beneficial, factual information to Wikipedia users.
Much appreciated.

Hi - Concerning your warning to USER:173.67.255.130 about the recent blanking of a section of The Wizard of Oz (1939 film) , I should point out that this IP has done this several times before to various sections in the same article, all without any explanation - [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. The IP has also blanked this section of another article without explanation, which went unwarned, in addition to this vandalism.
With all due respect, isn't something a little more preventative than a polite warning to this user called for? Repeated disruptive behavior such as this should at least result in a lengthy block, if not an outright topic ban to prevent such disruption in the future. The two previous warnings issued to this IP don't seem to have had any effect. Am I wrong? Shirtwaist ☎ 08:52, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

You're an admin right? can you do both a user IP check on mine and JentinaChapman's as Kww has got it in his mind that me and her share the same IP and he's blocked someone he shouldn't of had as she's an ex-rapper turned model truned mum who's got Gypsy in her family, and once you've done the check could you tell him that there's no match and unblock her as one of my friend's got her on Facebook and both him and her are doing their nut about it and I don't think it's right to let someone suffer 'cause of it. 86.142.233.1 ( talk) 17:16, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
Hello,
I'm the user with IP address 173.88.142.89 who made changes to H. Jon Benjamin's name earlier today. I was acting on behalf of a member of his family who told me that the name on his page incorrect. I understand that this explanation is not sufficient and that you have no way of verifying this information. However, I am finding it difficult to find a citation for this information. Are you aware of any resources that may be helpful here? What kinds of evidence do you think would be sufficient to make this change? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thugasaurus Rex ( talk • contribs) 21:24, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Good afternoon and thank you for maintaining the Norwalk, CT wiki page. I work for Ventus in Norwalk, CT and we are trying to add our company to the ‘Large and distinctive companies’ section of the Norwalk, CT Wikipedia page. I noticed you removed the additions and I’m curious what it is we need to do in order to accomplish this. Thank you for your help and understanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.251.33.38 ( talk) 21:10, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi Excirial,
This is the first time I've tried to edit anything on Wikipedia and I was hoping you could help me out. I tried to edit the page for Chcicago Children's Museum earlier and noticed you reverted the edits. After reading the rules about editing, I completely understand and I apologize for the hassle.
I would like to add some info about what CCM actually does vs. just a few lines about our history and several paragraphs about our location. Can I still do this or am I currently blocked?
Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Excirial!
I contacted you about your reverts on the Utica NY page just now. Could you explain the revert? The page is a total disaster so I removed a doubled link, and several of the items on the bloated "Signature Events" section.
The article starts of with the title and after the basic paragraph you see "Geography and climate"? I moved it and "Demographics" below history and more useful initials figuring the huge graphs and charts were a little much. What other cities could we find on Wikipedia that follow this odd and cumbersome formatting like this? It just seemed odd and glaring and has caught my attention for some time now. The folks in utica have an obsession with their Wikipedia page they discuss it on the local "Topix" page. They also place a huge emphasis on weather in their area both local news stations open with news and withing 7 minutes begin discussing at miniumum 15 minutes of weather with a recap after sports after that. And that's on a warm summer evening. Ditto the news paper to some extent. I'm not kidding so it seemed some of that weird enthusiasm has managed to find its way with enthusiasm onto the wiki page here.
If you look at Utica's page you might notice all the NFPs and minor minor local organizations have all been listed also in discordance with like articles on the Wikipedia. As well as a (to a local at least) lot of gross embellishment, itself a Utica trait of notoriety there. I drop in from time to time and make sure they aren't claiming their Auditorium was the "Inspiration for Madison Square Garden" despite its architect building an almost identical design some years earlier in NC etc, and a strangely inordinate number of other like wives tales I heard from them living there over the years and later learned were completely unfounded and untrue.
That Utica page has become a sort of untended battlefield between reality and their imaginary land Excirial. If that sounds strange I'm sorry but to someone with a little experience on the place that's not strange at all that's just "Utica".
So I'll check in and see what you decide sometime, I see by your barnstar for helping out that you'll make a good choice or keep it in mind when you see someone expect go try to tighten that page up it looks ridiculous... if you compare it with a like-sized similar city's Wikipedia article. Everyone in town with the slightest claim to fame has their website listed and embellishments in full force trying to get in on the act like it's a free website. There is not enough normal, plain history and facts as you'd see in a normal Wikipedia page. Just count how many businesses are listed on the page alone. It's something like a cross between apublic edited version of one of those junk content farm "Business Listings" sites and a "Myspace" page. If you strike changes to that much bloat and incorrectly sequenced charts and "Demographics" it just grows until the huge stack of lists as you see there and easily stands out as inconsistent with what you'd expect to see on a typical cities page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.241.24.237 ( talk) 19:22, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi, i am kind of mad at wikipedia at the moment. We cannot fix info that is wrong on here! i mean, isn't that the whole point of wikipedia??? my friend was on her wikipedia account and called me because it would not let her change some false information. She was just trying to make wikipedia be more accurate on all of their information. I contacted you throught this page a little bit ago and well the only reason that i was on that 3rd level vandalism is because my brother came on ym computer and thought that it would be funny if he changed the queen of england to my name! So this system is not very fair in my opinion. My civics teacher tells us to speak our thoughts about this kind of stuff, and i feel the need to speak. One of my teachers even said that she could not change some false info on wikipedia! I am speaking my opinion, so please take this into conciteration. If your info is wrong because people come and change it, well, no body will care! no one goes on the website for stuff like that! Everyone knows that all of the info is wrong here already, so why would you even care at this point? Thank you for listening.
~Meghan P.S. I think that this is how I contact you, so dont accuse me of "vandalism" for this. Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SmartestGal4Ever ( talk • contribs) 01:15, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

For example, yesterday afternoon, one of the sites I watch, Spit (landform), was vandalised by 68.191.254.214 (Talk). After "un-doing" his edits, I clicked onto his Talk page. May I suggest that you do the same? It makes interesting reading. Why are un-registered, anonymous editors alowed to operate? It makes no sense to me.
He seems to be a serial vandal, who is repeatedly warned...and merely goes to another site, only to be warned again. Having just previewed this posting, I see that both the ID number AND the(Talk) are in red. Yesterday the former was red but the latter was blue. What has happened?

Good afternoon Excirial,
I loved your last "Quote of the moment" and the today's is a great one too.
Once again, thank you for the explanation. I thought it better not to indent this communication, but rather to start afresh.
I read, with great interest, your reply to IsoMorpheus(Talk) yesterday, because I had been wondering about the subject of moving WITHIN an article... (NOT the whole article elsewhere, or move over a part of another article ... but say, hypothetically, the fourth section to become the sixth.)
Returning to my original subject, as I understand it, an editor who has not registered, or an editor who has not logged in, will be allocated, automatically, a numerical IP address which, being dynamic, will be different every time. If this is correct when, if ever, will the offender read a posted warning?
I look forward to hearing from you. With best wishes, Gareth Griffith-Jones ( talk) 14:40, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Good evening Excirial,
I would request your input on two discussions that are currently running on Talk:The Sopranos, namely, Infobox, actors and, Italian-American, adjective hyphenated. The former has become a "tennis match"..! Can you help us to reach a conclusion, please? The latter seems to have migrated from The Godfather (the novel) and the problem here is the confusion between when it is in the noun form and when in the adjectival form. How will it ever be solved? I look forward to hearing from you again.
With best wishes,

Hi, as this shows that article has reached a point of completeness and stability where no major additions are made by IPs and all that happens via IPs is vandalism. When revised edits existed that helped, but now I think it is a good idea to semi-protect it for good to save everyone the effort of reverting IPs. Thanks.

Hi Excirial,
I'm writing to ask why my recent changes to the Chicago Children's Museum page were removed. I changed incorrect information about the number of visitors served, added information about additional free admission to the public, and included information about what the museum actual does as an institution. Some of the language did come from the museum website, but I was careful to try and take out any bias/marketing-type language. Please let me know what issues you had with the changes, so that I can include this beneficial, factual information to Wikipedia users.
Much appreciated.
Chad
