Hi Zippy! I'm Faisal. It is a rather odd name indeed but unfortunately that's what my parents decided to name and its stuck. I'm a 35 old financial services professional working in the Square Mile. Lately, whilst reading the Wiki article on my university, I've noticed some users (Reason.uploader & Eshika Sikder) scribbling rather irrelevant and unfounded rubbish to an otherwise decent (not absolutely grammatically correct) article. Statements which were consequently corrected by me. Thank you for protecting my university ! 90.209.55.141 ( talk) 18:16, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
Splendid. I shall try to engage the users in a constructive discussion. 90.209.55.141 ( talk) 18:26, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Zip! I was talking to Yunshui and he had a great suggestion about how the CVUA should handle rollback requests. He proposed that when a student is ready, the instructor should have the student request rollback at PERM. Than, the instructor should notify you guys to look into the request. What are your thoughts? Best, Electric Catfish 18:40, 1 August 2012 (UTC).
When you get a chance, please take a look at my comment at the bottom of Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection#Eternalism_.28philosophy_of_time.29_.28edit.7Ctalk.7Chistory.7Clinks.7Cwatch.7Clogs.29--is it unreasonable to think that locking a page should be in response to edits which are actually disruptive or controversial in some way, rather than locking a page because one editor thinks another editor should be forbidden from all further edits to a page if there's a dispute between them about something on the page, even if these further edits are completely unrelated to the dispute and no specific objections have been made to them? Hypnosifl ( talk) 20:11, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
With all the strong conflicting arguments, I knew
this AfD would probably be a difficult one to close. I believe your decision and closing comments were fair, very well thought through, and very descriptive. I'm rather impressed with how you cut through the noise to focus on the heart of the nomination through good common sense and policy. A great piece of administrative work indeed! Keep up the good work, stay well, and happy editing

I've replied to your post on AN. I do think it might be a good idea for the Wikimedia developers to introduce such a feature, so as to remove the tedium of having to reapply semi-protection in the immediate aftermath. With regards to Syria, though... speaking as somebody who is active in topics relating to that country, I get the sense that it'd be subject to extensive vandalism for a long time to come. I mean, I don't necessarily advocate indefinite semi-protection for very many things (aside from obviously controversial subject matter), but with the ongoing crisis in the country, it might be best to keep the article in such a state until after the situation resolves itself. I don't have a mystical crystal ball on me, so take this with a grain of salt, but I don't think it should be too much longer now. Doubtful that the situation will last for years to come, probably going to end sometime within the next twelve months.
Oh, and as a side note, thank you for participating in my RfA. I appreciate the sentiments you've expressed there — just one question, what sort of areas are you referring to when you say "clerking"? I have made edits to AIV and UAA before, commenting on a number of reports, but I didn't think that doing so would leave any sort of positive impression on administrators who actively tackle those sorts of backlogs (other than "this guy's a wannabe admin"). In any case, it's actually been a much more pleasant experience than I was expecting; I had been under the impression that the community would be much tougher in their assessment of me. =) Master&Expert ( Talk) 01:55, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
Declined This is a content dispute and, without heavy vandalism or BLP violations from IP users, semi-protection would be inappropriate. If I were to protect, it would be full protection; the conflict has not reached a stage where that would be useful. If the conflict continues, full protection might be necessary, and if the IP editors continue without discussion, then semi-protection or blocks may be appropriate. At the moment, I'd encourage those involved to try to contact the editors, and perhaps seek dispute resolution.
— User:ItsZippy 16:28, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
I appreciate your comment there. I have absolutely no problems with it. You wrote the underlined section also (BTW, I underlined it here to increase clarity). I think a semi protection is suitable now because the IPs (more than one) have continued “without discussion”. If you still think that a semi-protection is not necessary then you might, at least, want to keep an eye on the history page of
Kashmir conflict (

BTW, a

BLP violation. Come on.
Thank you. Cheers!

Hi Zippy, hope you've been enjoying the Olympics. I'm a new user to the Wikipedia site and noted from your user page how you are willing to help new users. It's always great to get a helping hand from an established member of the community. I am looking at the Slimming World page and noticed that you have previously contributed, which is brilliant. Some of the statistics quoted in the article are now out of date. I work for the organisation and so wouldn't make changes to the article myself. However, I have used the talk section of the article to post some updated figures with links to the sources of these stats. I believe that best practice is to contact a previous contributor to alert them to the talk suggestions you have made. Hope you don't mind me contacting you. If you would like any more information at all please let me know. And have fun with the Olympics. Best Wishes Leigh — Preceding unsigned comment added by LeighGreenwood ( talk • contribs) 17:09, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Zippy, thanks for your response before about Slimming World, is much appreciated. Yes of course, please call me Leigh. Sorry I wasn't sure if you meant for me to respond on my own talk page or yours, so I've added my reply here below too. Certainly you're right that I'm more than happy to listen to other editors and feel it's very important to act in the spirit of Wikipedia. I use Wikipedia as a source of information all the time and recognise its value as an objective source of information. I will have a look to see if there are any more up-to-date figures available publicly. Can I ask, if I do make the changes myself, what is best practice to ensure that others can see that I have done this with the best intentions and am open to comments? I would of course reference all changes and could explain the reasons for the changes in the talk pages. If I did this, would it be ok to also drop you a message for you to have a look at the changes too please? Many thanks for your guidance. As I say, I use Wikipedia as a source of information all of the time but I am new to the contributions side of things. Many Thanks, LeighGreenwood —Preceding undated comment added 11:32, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
Hey all. Some quick but important updates on what we've been up to and what's coming up next :).
The curation toolbar, our Wikimedia-supported twinkle replacement. We're going to be deploying it, along with a pile of bugfixes, to wikipedia on 9 August. After a few days to check it doesn't make anything explode or die, we'll be sticking up a big notice and sending out an additional newsletter inviting people to test it out and give us feedback :). This will be followed by two office hours sessions - one on Tuesday the 14th of August at 19:00 UTC for all us Europeans, and one on Wednesday the 15th at 23:00 UTC for the East Coasters out there :). As always, these will be held in #wikimedia-office; drop me a note if you want to know how to easily get on IRC, or if you aren't able to attend but would like the logs.
I hope to see a lot of you there; it's going to be a big day for everyone involved, I think :). I'll have more notes after the deployment! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 19:58, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey all :)
A couple of new things.
First, you'll note that all the project titles have now changed to the Page Curation prefix, rather than having the New Pages Feed prefix. This is because the overarching project name has changed to Page Curation; the feed is still known as New Pages Feed, and the Curation Toolbar is still the Curation Toolbar. Hopefully this will be the last namechange ;p.
On the subject of the Curation Toolbar (nice segue, Oliver!) - it's now deployed on Wikipedia. Just open up any article in the New Pages Feed and it should appear on the right. It's still a beta version - bugs are expected - and we've got a lot more work to do. But if you see something going wrong, or a feature missing, drop me a note or post on the project talkpage and I'll be happy to help :). We'll be holding two office hours sessions to discuss the tool and improvements to it; the first is at 19:00 UTC on 14 August, and the second at 23:00 on the 15th. Both will be in #wikimedia-office as always. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 15:58, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello you deleted on the Kim Jong un page this: In August 2012 Kim Jong Un announced economics reforms similar to the People's Republic of China
Kim Jong il's personal chef Kenji Fujimoto stated "Stores in Pyongyang were brimming with products and people in the streets looked cheerful, North Korea has changed a lot since Kim Jong-un assumed power. All of this is because of leader Kim Jong-un."
I stated the references and there were legit news sources. I have a feeling its because I deleted responsibility of human rights, in which somebody (might of been you) said to me that it was legit and that the source were defectors? that is only a opinion not a source and the defectors never said kim jong un they said kim jong il.

Hi there,
Whilst I was cleaning up the article posted above (I've read a good deal on the subject, and so it's no surprise that such a controversial article would be on my watchlist), I noticed that the page had changed from semi-protected to protected as the result of a "content dispute." While I acknowledge and appreciate your effort to facilitate taking the dispute to the talk page, after reviewing the revision history I'm not sure it really warrants blocking all users from editing the article.
The current "dispute" is over the section "Human Rights Violations under Kim Jong-un", which has been repeatedly deleted by a relatively new user, Kaileonard. The user in question asserts that "I deleted Responsibility for human rights violations because it does not contain any evidence for this allegation and is not factual." (taken from edit summary); this despite the fact that it was sourced 8 separate times in a section that contains only two sentences; a cursory examination of those sources reveals that they are each from a reliable source. Furthermore, on both Kaileonard's talk page and in the edit summaries, it was requested that he take his dispute to the talk page, as well as refrain from marking major edits like section blanking and the adding of potentially-controversial unsourced statements as minor.
I'll admit, I do have some concerns about the editor in question: since creating an account, his edits have been exclusively limited to leftist and communist topics, including vandalism and deletion of relevant information, as well as the addition of unsourced, POV statements. His addition of an image with no discernible source to the Kim Jong-un article, despite the lenghty debate about not including any non-free images on the talk page and RFC, is also a concern.
Looking at the summary again, it seems that his efforts were being reverted back to the last stable version by at least 3 editors, whereas he himself violated the 3RR rule. Given the circumstances, I think some sort of topic ban for this individual editor might be in order, but the article itself, in my opinion, should return to semi-protected.
I hope you don't take this as me questioning your actions; far from it! I just thought I'd bring it up, as I was about to make some sourced additions to the article, and I'd rather not have to wait two days to do it because of one problem editor. Cheers, Zaldax ( talk) 18:37, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
EDIT: Oh, thank you for restoring the article to the last stable version! I just noticed that after I commented here. Zaldax ( talk) 18:39, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello thank you for your response. I know a lot about the DPRK (North Korea). I said " In August 2012 Kim Jong Un announced economics reforms similar to the People's Republic of China
Kim Jong il's personal chef Kenji Fujimoto stated "Stores in Pyongyang were brimming with products and people in the streets looked cheerful, North Korea has changed a lot since Kim Jong-un assumed power. All of this is because of leader Kim Jong-un.""
I don't think this should of been deleted because i showed my sources which were The Guardian. Could you please edit the page and add it back? :)
Can you add this back? Btw my sources were The Guardian. Could you please also allow me to edit the Kim Jong page again? I will not edit the human rights violations.

Hi ItsZippy. I notice that User: Evelkis got involved in a dispute continually over Sislej Xhafa, which is related to the issues. It is really unhelpful and counter-productive to get involved, continually whatever is to do with any Albanians. Do you think you could step in from the dispute for now. I don't know what is his User: Evelkis agenda? but it seems that whatever is any Albanian contributing for the sites that to deal with Albanians or any kind of modest contribution with the facts, he revert and his commodity and delete the important contribution. I don't understand why he do this? Why is abusing such precious Wikipedia the free encyclopedia, that is for sharing and learning. I will appreciate if you can step in. Thanks, I appreciate it. Estherboy — Preceding unsigned comment added by Estherboy ( talk • contribs) 15:23, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello Zippy. I hope you read this before you look into Estherboy's grievance. I cannot have been expected to permit edits such as this. I requested Estherboy's account be blocked but the admin dealing with it declined. Obviously it is not for me to interfere with the actions of an admin and he did explain his reasoning, though for your information it may interest you to know that Estherboy is an incarnation of the following duff accounts:
Just about all summarise their blanking ceremonies with a trademark "minor edit" signature. Examine the contributions, we are not dealing with a constructive editor nor one who has come to improve Wikipedia. All these edits to Sislej Xhafa yet the user has added absolutely nothing apart from a declaration that the individual has American citizenship and that itself still awaits citation. Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 17:32, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
It seems that we could probably deal with this constructively. For now, I am going to assume that is trying to improve Wikipedia and is not operating an international ring of meatpuppets. I cannot see that any of the issues here have been discussed at all; the immediate accusations of vandalism and meatpuppetting have meant that we've not managed to begin any useful discussion. I suggest that both editors begin by trying to discuss the issue on the talk page, primarily by looking at the available sources (without anyone accusing anyone else of vandalism, meatpuppetting, POV-pushing, or anything else). This means that, if both editors are trying to improve Wikipedia and willing to talk, then we'll see some progress; if it turns out that someone is just being disruptive, then we can deal with that as it happens. Does that sound acceptable to you both? ItsZippy ( talk • contributions) 15:16, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

I may be wrong here so need your opinion. During the AfD an editor performed a merge with Turkey Mountain (Oklahoma) with the edit summary "merging with Turkey Mountain inscriptions - see that articles afd" On the talk page that editor wrote " as the clear consensus at that article's afd was that it should not stay". The AfD said delete, so I deleted it - thinking 'delete does not mean merge). Now we've ended up with a minor edit war. My own feeling is that doing something like this during the middle of an AfD is a terrible idea as it allows bypassing an AfD, and that the discussion at Talk:Turkey Mountain (Oklahoma) is backwards. Any comments? I'm also obviously unhappy at including fringe stuff that can't be reliably sourced except to a self-published book, a book that no one seems to have cared about, etc. Dougweller ( talk) 06:30, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Zippy. I ran across something odd here and wanted to get your opinion on it. Based on the edit behavior, it looks very much like the same person serially creating accounts over the past couple of months, however, since the vast majority of the edits are limited to their own sandboxes, I don't see that they're being necessarily disruptive or otherwise breaching policy. On the other hand, with nothing much to show from over 500 cumulative edits across the 14 accounts, it also doesn't appear to be particularly constructive activity, but I'm not sure if it rises to the level of WP:SPI.

A tag has been placed on File:Tower.svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi, ItsZippy. I'm nor detecting much edit-warring here -- except perhaps from the editor who made the PP request -- and I don't think the page requires protection. The request came from a pugnacious and unconstructive editor who is interested in protecting The Right Version.

Please userfy the Peter Jensen article - I strongly think that additional reliable sources will clearly show his notability, and this seems the cleanest way to proceed. Thanks. Collect ( talk) 15:49, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
I disagree with your assertion that "It has been sufficiently demonstrated that the sources provided are not specifically about Jensen, and are thus do not provide the in-depth coverage necessary for notability". The link to the full article I provided has significant coverage of the subject and was not contested by any of the participants. Four of the final five participants said "keep", with the delete being merely "per nom". Cunard ( talk) 23:27, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
The sources that provide nontrivial coverage of Jensen are (i) http://docs.newsbank.com/s/InfoWeb/aggdocs/AWNB/11FEC8EE59854B70/0D7C12F5A8A2A86A ("Hey doc, I've got a problem; Sports psychology breeds success, just ask members of Team Canada"), (ii) http://www.readersdigest.ca/health/healthy-living/5-ways-be-your-best ("5 Ways to Be Your Best"), and (iii) http://docs.newsbank.com/s/InfoWeb/aggdocs/AWNB/10C28C60AAD8FE80/0D7C12F5A8A2A86A ("Psychologist has Brian Orser relaxed, ready").

That seems alright - I would say that the sources you have added mean that the concerns that led to deletion at the AfD have been dealt with, so G4 would not apply (and feel free to link to this discussion when you publish it). Nevertheless, someone else may nominate this for deletion if they do not think the sources are enough (that is not to say that I think it should be deleted, but I would not condone a speedy keep if someone did nominate it).

Hi Zippy! I'm Faisal. It is a rather odd name indeed but unfortunately that's what my parents decided to name and its stuck. I'm a 35 old financial services professional working in the Square Mile. Lately, whilst reading the Wiki article on my university, I've noticed some users (Reason.uploader & Eshika Sikder) scribbling rather irrelevant and unfounded rubbish to an otherwise decent (not absolutely grammatically correct) article.

Hi Zip! I was talking to Yunshui and he had a great suggestion about how the CVUA should handle rollback requests.

I've replied to your post on AN. I do think it might be a good idea for the Wikimedia developers to introduce such a feature, so as to remove the tedium of having to reapply semi-protection in the immediate aftermath. With regards to Syria, though... speaking as somebody who is active in topics relating to that country, I get the sense that it'd be subject to extensive vandalism for a long time to come. I mean, I don't necessarily advocate indefinite semi-protection for very many things (aside from obviously controversial subject matter), but with the ongoing crisis in the country, it might be best to keep the article in such a state until after the situation resolves itself. I don't have a mystical crystal ball on me, so take this with a grain of salt, but I don't think it should be too much longer now. Doubtful that the situation will last for years to come, probably going to end sometime within the next twelve months.
Oh, and as a side note, thank you for participating in my RfA. I appreciate the sentiments you've expressed there — just one question, what sort of areas are you referring to when you say "clerking"? I have made edits to AIV and UAA before, commenting on a number of reports, but I didn't think that doing so would leave any sort of positive impression on administrators who actively tackle those sorts of backlogs (other than "this guy's a wannabe admin"). In any case, it's actually been a much more pleasant experience than I was expecting; I had been under the impression that the community would be much tougher in their assessment of me. =) Master&Expert ( Talk) 01:55, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
Declined This is a content dispute and, without heavy vandalism or BLP violations from IP users, semi-protection would be inappropriate. If I were to protect, it would be full protection; the conflict has not reached a stage where that would be useful. If the conflict continues, full protection might be necessary, and if the IP editors continue without discussion, then semi-protection or blocks may be appropriate. At the moment, I'd encourage those involved to try to contact the editors, and perhaps seek dispute resolution.
— User:ItsZippy 16:28, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
I appreciate your comment there. I have absolutely no problems with it. You wrote the underlined section also (BTW, I underlined it here to increase clarity). I think a semi protection is suitable now because the IPs (more than one) have continued “without discussion”. If you still think that a semi-protection is not necessary then you might, at least, want to keep an eye on the history page of
Kashmir conflict (

Hi Zippy, hope you've been enjoying the Olympics. I'm a new user to the Wikipedia site and noted from your user page how you are willing to help new users. It's always great to get a helping hand from an established member of the community. I am looking at the Slimming World page and noticed that you have previously contributed, which is brilliant. Some of the statistics quoted in the article are now out of date. I work for the organisation and so wouldn't make changes to the article myself. However, I have used the talk section of the article to post some updated figures with links to the sources of these stats. I believe that best practice is to contact a previous contributor to alert them to the talk suggestions you have made. Hope you don't mind me contacting you. If you would like any more information at all please let me know. And have fun with the Olympics.

Hi Zippy, thanks for your response before about Slimming World, is much appreciated. Yes of course, please call me Leigh. Sorry I wasn't sure if you meant for me to respond on my own talk page or yours, so I've added my reply here below too. Certainly you're right that I'm more than happy to listen to other editors and feel it's very important to act in the spirit of Wikipedia. I use Wikipedia as a source of information all the time and recognise its value as an objective source of information. I will have a look to see if there are any more up-to-date figures available publicly. Can I ask, if I do make the changes myself, what is best practice to ensure that others can see that I have done this with the best intentions and am open to comments? I would of course reference all changes and could explain the reasons for the changes in the talk pages. If I did this, would it be ok to also drop you a message for you to have a look at the changes too please? Many thanks for your guidance. As I say, I use Wikipedia as a source of information all of the time but I am new to the contributions side of things.

Hey all. Some quick but important updates on what we've been up to and what's coming up next :).
The curation toolbar, our Wikimedia-supported twinkle replacement. We're going to be deploying it, along with a pile of bugfixes, to wikipedia on 9 August. After a few days to check it doesn't make anything explode or die, we'll be sticking up a big notice and sending out an additional newsletter inviting people to test it out and give us feedback :). This will be followed by two office hours sessions - one on Tuesday the 14th of August at 19:00 UTC for all us Europeans, and one on Wednesday the 15th at 23:00 UTC for the East Coasters out there :). As always, these will be held in #wikimedia-office; drop me a note if you want to know how to easily get on IRC, or if you aren't able to attend but would like the logs.
I hope to see a lot of you there; it's going to be a big day for everyone involved, I think :). I'll have more notes after the deployment! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 19:58, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey all :)
A couple of new things.
First, you'll note that all the project titles have now changed to the Page Curation prefix, rather than having the New Pages Feed prefix. This is because the overarching project name has changed to Page Curation; the feed is still known as New Pages Feed, and the Curation Toolbar is still the Curation Toolbar. Hopefully this will be the last namechange ;p.
On the subject of the Curation Toolbar (nice segue, Oliver!) - it's now deployed on Wikipedia. Just open up any article in the New Pages Feed and it should appear on the right. It's still a beta version - bugs are expected - and we've got a lot more work to do. But if you see something going wrong, or a feature missing, drop me a note or post on the project talkpage and I'll be happy to help :). We'll be holding two office hours sessions to discuss the tool and improvements to it; the first is at 19:00 UTC on 14 August, and the second at 23:00 on the 15th. Both will be in #wikimedia-office as always. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 15:58, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello you deleted on the Kim Jong un page this: In August 2012 Kim Jong Un announced economics reforms similar to the People's Republic of China
Kim Jong il's personal chef Kenji Fujimoto stated "Stores in Pyongyang were brimming with products and people in the streets looked cheerful, North Korea has changed a lot since Kim Jong-un assumed power. All of this is because of leader Kim Jong-un."
I stated the references and there were legit news sources. I have a feeling its because I deleted responsibility of human rights, in which somebody (might of been you) said to me that it was legit and that the source were defectors? that is only a opinion not a source and the defectors never said kim jong un they said kim jong il.

Hi there,
Whilst I was cleaning up the article posted above (I've read a good deal on the subject, and so it's no surprise that such a controversial article would be on my watchlist), I noticed that the page had changed from semi-protected to protected as the result of a "content dispute." While I acknowledge and appreciate your effort to facilitate taking the dispute to the talk page, after reviewing the revision history I'm not sure it really warrants blocking all users from editing the article.
The current "dispute" is over the section "Human Rights Violations under Kim Jong-un", which has been repeatedly deleted by a relatively new user, Kaileonard. The user in question asserts that "I deleted Responsibility for human rights violations because it does not contain any evidence for this allegation and is not factual." (taken from edit summary); this despite the fact that it was sourced 8 separate times in a section that contains only two sentences; a cursory examination of those sources reveals that they are each from a reliable source. Furthermore, on both Kaileonard's talk page and in the edit summaries, it was requested that he take his dispute to the talk page, as well as refrain from marking major edits like section blanking and the adding of potentially-controversial unsourced statements as minor.
I'll admit, I do have some concerns about the editor in question: since creating an account, his edits have been exclusively limited to leftist and communist topics, including vandalism and deletion of relevant information, as well as the addition of unsourced, POV statements. His addition of an image with no discernible source to the Kim Jong-un article, despite the lenghty debate about not including any non-free images on the talk page and RFC, is also a concern.
Looking at the summary again, it seems that his efforts were being reverted back to the last stable version by at least 3 editors, whereas he himself violated the 3RR rule. Given the circumstances, I think some sort of topic ban for this individual editor might be in order, but the article itself, in my opinion, should return to semi-protected.
I hope you don't take this as me questioning your actions; far from it! I just thought I'd bring it up, as I was about to make some sourced additions to the article, and I'd rather not have to wait two days to do it because of one problem editor. Cheers, Zaldax ( talk) 18:37, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

I don't think this should of been deleted because i showed my sources which were The Guardian. Could you please edit the page and add it back? :)
Can you add this back? Btw my sources were The Guardian. Could you please also allow me to edit the Kim Jong page again? I will not edit the human rights violations.

Hi ItsZippy. I notice that User: Evelkis got involved in a dispute continually over Sislej Xhafa, which is related to the issues. It is really unhelpful and counter-productive to get involved, continually whatever is to do with any Albanians. Do you think you could step in from the dispute for now. I don't know what is his User: Evelkis agenda? but it seems that whatever is any Albanian contributing for the sites that to deal with Albanians or any kind of modest contribution with the facts, he revert and his commodity and delete the important contribution. I don't understand why he do this? Why is abusing such precious Wikipedia the free encyclopedia, that is for sharing and learning. I will appreciate if you can step in. Thanks, I appreciate it.

Hello Zippy. I hope you read this before you look into Estherboy's grievance. I cannot have been expected to permit edits such as this. I requested Estherboy's account be blocked but the admin dealing with it declined. Obviously it is not for me to interfere with the actions of an admin and he did explain his reasoning, though for your information it may interest you to know that Estherboy is an incarnation of the following duff accounts:
Just about all summarise their blanking ceremonies with a trademark "minor edit" signature. Examine the contributions, we are not dealing with a constructive editor nor one who has come to improve Wikipedia.

Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 17:32, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
It seems that we could probably deal with this constructively. For now, I am going to assume that is trying to improve Wikipedia and is not operating an international ring of meatpuppets. I cannot see that any of the issues here have been discussed at all; the immediate accusations of vandalism and meatpuppetting have meant that we've not managed to begin any useful discussion. I suggest that both editors begin by trying to discuss the issue on the talk page, primarily by looking at the available sources (without anyone accusing anyone else of vandalism, meatpuppetting, POV-pushing, or anything else). This means that, if both editors are trying to improve Wikipedia and willing to talk, then we'll see some progress; if it turns out that someone is just being disruptive, then we can deal with that as it happens. Does that sound acceptable to you both? ItsZippy ( talk • contributions) 15:16, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

The AfD said delete, so I deleted it - thinking 'delete does not mean merge). Now we've ended up with a minor edit war. My own feeling is that doing something like this during the middle of an AfD is a terrible idea as it allows bypassing an AfD, and that the discussion at Talk:Turkey Mountain (Oklahoma) is backwards. Any comments? I'm also obviously unhappy at including fringe stuff that can't be reliably sourced except to a self-published book, a book that no one seems to have cared about, etc. Dougweller ( talk) 06:30, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Turkey_Mountain_inscriptions. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. IRWolfie- ( talk) 09:37, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Zippy. I ran across something odd here and wanted to get your opinion on it. Based on the edit behavior, it looks very much like the same person serially creating accounts over the past couple of months, however, since the vast majority of the edits are limited to their own sandboxes, I don't see that they're being necessarily disruptive or otherwise breaching policy. On the other hand, with nothing much to show from over 500 cumulative edits across the 14 accounts, it also doesn't appear to be particularly constructive activity, but I'm not sure if it rises to the level of WP:SPI. What do you make of this? ➢ Bgpaulus <small-caps>( WORDS & DEEDS)</small-caps> 17:29, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Tower.svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi. When you recently edited Divine command theory, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page William Wainwright ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Danny Hilton is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Danny Hilton until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Ubelowme U Me 20:51, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi, ItsZippy. I'm nor detecting much edit-warring here -- except perhaps from the editor who made the PP request -- and I don't think the page requires protection. The request came from a pugnacious and unconstructive editor who is interested in protecting The Right Version.

Please userfy the Peter Jensen article - I strongly think that additional reliable sources will clearly show his notability, and this seems the cleanest way to proceed. Thanks. Collect ( talk) 15:49, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
I disagree with your assertion that "It has been sufficiently demonstrated that the sources provided are not specifically about Jensen, and are thus do not provide the in-depth coverage necessary for notability". The link to the full article I provided has significant coverage of the subject and was not contested by any of the participants. Four of the final five participants said "keep", with the delete being merely "per nom". Cunard ( talk) 23:27, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
The sources that provide nontrivial coverage of Jensen are (i) http://docs.newsbank.com/s/InfoWeb/aggdocs/AWNB/11FEC8EE59854B70/0D7C12F5A8A2A86A ("Hey doc, I've got a problem; Sports psychology breeds success, just ask members of Team Canada"), (ii) http://www.readersdigest.ca/health/healthy-living/5-ways-be-your-best ("5 Ways to Be Your Best"), and (iii) http://docs.newsbank.com/s/InfoWeb/aggdocs/AWNB/10C28C60AAD8FE80/0D7C12F5A8A2A86A ("Psychologist has Brian Orser relaxed, ready"). Thank you for your consideration. Cunard ( talk) 05:23, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
That seems alright - I would say that the sources you have added mean that the concerns that led to deletion at the AfD have been dealt with, so G4 would not apply (and feel free to link to this discussion when you publish it). Nevertheless, someone else may nominate this for deletion if they do not think the sources are enough (that is not to say that I think it should be deleted, but I would not condone a speedy keep if someone did nominate it). Is that ok? ItsZippy ( talk • contributions) 12:25, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

WP:RELIST states: "Users relisting a debate for a third (or further) time, or relisting a debate with a substantial number of commenters, should write a short explanation (in addition to the {{ relist}} template) on why they did not consider the debate sufficient." I believe that consensus has already been achieved at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Edward Francis Anhalt, but since you disagree, please add a "short explanation" on why you "did not consider the debate sufficient".
