I was wondering if there was any way you could delete the Chase Coy page I've created. There has been vandalism and problems with the pictures that I can't fix. The page was created with the artist in question and I have his go ahead to request deletion. Thank you for your help. ( XoxJoshGxox ( talk) 02:47, 21 January 2009 (UTC))

He was in the stands with pascal chimbonda during the game with stoke on this monday night. I request you change this asap. much thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.13.234.105 ( talk) 23:57, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Explain to me why my edit was removed.

When I first created those pages for the MBGN winners, the Wiki administrators complained it appeared that all these girls have ever done is win pageant shows. Now I've tried to prove that there is more to them than just being beauty queens, it's not enough, and I don't get it. It's not as if I didn't give references.

Hi, i was just wondering why you have deleted two of my comments very quickly as i only commented that BAFC were top of the league and favourites to get promoted, and you took it off saying it was vandalism! i would much appreciate it if it were to be reverted

cheers

I am fixing the pluralization of Caboose in the artical 174.153.93.240 ( talk) 23:07, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

The plural of caboose is cabooses. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 23:15, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry J -- I've got a couple of other time-consumers needing attention. About your reversion of 10 April, I did notice an empty message on my IP talk page, wondered what that was. I also saw the HG, and didn't have time to chase that up. Actually it never occurred to me that a 'bot may make a serious error! 122.200.166.113 ( talk) 16:38, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

It's not a problem, and I unquestionably responded to your complaint poorly, as I was the one who was in the wrong. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 16:52, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Alright you seem like a nice person. My original intent was to insult you due to the deleting of my page but i now feel the urge to thank you for brightening my evening with your polite posts and manners. Good Day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.225.61.171 ( talk) 00:01, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

I get it. Lots of people enjoy putting OMG PENIS!!! onto various articles but I am trying to fix a fallacy. I am sourcing my claims. The current article text is basing itself on wrongful notions about the painting the Last Judgment by Michelangelo. The current text is based not the fresco post censorship repainting and pre restoration and cleaning. I am sourcing myself. I took it up on the talk page even so some one else might fix it who has a wikipedia account and yet you still erased that. I understand that vandals often use the word penis but that does not mean you should have a crusade against the word.

how do you find pages that have been vandelized shortly after they have been posted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.245.184.69 ( talk) 02:33, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

What do you think you are doing?! I haven't done a thing and hear you are banning me from edit! You remember one person who was banned for vandalism? HUH, DO YOU? That's me, and I'm pissed because I didn't do a thing and here you banning me for a week! Go to hell. 24.250.125.240 ( talk) 21:54, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

First of all, I didn't ignore you and I am sorry that you felt like that. I am not an angry kid trying to do my own thing, I just thought that it was a discussion page. If you feel that the case is closed so be it. I didn't want to type so many things the link was enough, and it was a mistake of me. On the other hand, i totally disagree with your policy and I think that it doesn't make wikipedia better. That's all. You disagree that's ok but it is not democratic to say IT IS NOT GONNA CHANGE DON'T EXPRESS YOUR OPINION. That's fascism. You may not like my long posts and I will stop doing it, you may disagree, but that doesn't mean you are right. Anyway, sorry for any discomfort. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Braindamaged ( talk • contribs) 19:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk pages are only for discussion about approving articles, not general discussion or flame wars. Your posts will only cause the latter, and you already know that. And don't call it fascism. If Wikipedia subscribed to fascist ideology, I would have just blocked you instead of telling you to stop. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 19:59, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi J.Delanoy,

I was trying to post to the Lents Oregon page a link to the Lents foodbuying group on yahoo. This group is a wholsale buying club open to all members of east portland. This is not spam nor some get rich spam. I am the President of the Lents neighborhood Association and a member of the Department of Corrections for the State of Oregon.

Hey I was working on a page title Endangered Species Chocolate, and you deleted it. It said because there was no content on the papge and thats cool I understand...but I was wondering if you could help me figure out how to work on a page without it being live? Sorry, this is probably a rookie mistake, but I have never made a wikipedia page before so I am just learning...I would like to be able to completely create and finish this page then be able to post it/make it live...Thanks for your help!

My edits to SRV page are not vandalism. The article contains in-accurate information and poor writing. Also, the facts regarding the crash do not agree with the NTSB report. If you want to correct the article, please do. For your informtaion the Vandalism policy follows: Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. Vandalism cannot and will not be tolerated. Common types of vandalism are the addition of obscenities or crude humor, page blanking, and the insertion of nonsense into articles. Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Even harmful edits that are not explicitly made in bad faith are not vandalism. For example, adding a controversial personal opinion to an article once is not vandalism; reinserting it despite multiple warnings is (however, edits/reverts over a content dispute are never vandalism, see WP:EW). Not all vandalism is obvious, nor are all massive or controversial changes vandalism. Careful thought may be needed to decide whether changes made are beneficial, detrimental but well-intended, or outright vandalism.

Get your facts straight. Dfwaviator ( talk) 23:05, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

I undid the edit approximately 14 seconds after I reverted, and long, long before you left me that message. How about you get your facts straight before you accuse people? J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 23:33, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Excuse me, but I think you have an automated program that's removing factual information I had put on Early Life and Career of Barack Obama. You called my post "vandalism", but I fail to see how providing factual information about the matter in dispute is "vandalism". If you seek to provide a neutral site, then both sides of an issue in dispute must be shown. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barwick ( talk • contribs) 14:43, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Your citation is to a site on which anyone can write whatever they want. Per WP:BLP, any contentious material about living people must be well-sourced, and it must have consensus for inclusion. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 14:46, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm discussing the material on the talk page. Though the consensus, I question, if you want the truth to make its way to the surface, don't rely on consensus, it's very unreliable for producing truth. I could reference a couple dozen historical references on this subject, but suffice to say, in the 1970's, the "consensus" among scientists was we were all going to die because of global cooling. Today the "consensus" is the opposite, and in 5-10 years, it will be different yet again... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barwick ( talk • contribs) 15:30, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

See WP:TRUTH. Not everything that is "obviously" true to you is necessarily true, and other people will disagree with you. That is why Wikipedia relies on verifiability, not "truth". J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 16:08, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi J.Delanoy

I appreciate your efforts and the efforts of "VirtualSteve" User:VirtualSteve as well as other concerned Wikipedians. Since I have been unblocked, I have edited no Wikipedia page (article) to avoid being stamped (seen) as someone who wishes to disrupt the works (contributions) of other Wikipedians to Somali related Wikipedia pages particularly puntland and farole that initially sparked my differences with "Middayexpress" user:middayexpress and perhaps his friend "Scoobycentric" user:Scoobycentric.

Truly speaking, I have not joined Wikipedia community to destroy but to contribute something worth to Somali related Wikipedia pages from NPOV. Of course my style of editing might be different or seem something unusual to some Wikipedians. However I am committed to obeying and following all Wikipedia policies and principles when I am editing a page (article). I am not here to follow after the footsteps of others.

I left message at "middayexpress" talk-page User talk:Middayexpress asking him good faith editing and mutual respect of other people's views as long as they don't breach Wikipedia policies and principles. I also asked him to write me his comments on points that seemed to me weak on puntland and farole articles.

I politely request you not only to listen to "middayexpress" and perhaps his friend(s) that support his ideas and accusations against me but also my responses in order to know both parties' arguments (positions) so that you can judge who is right or wrong when it becomes arbitration or taking an action.

One of "middayexpress" accusations against me include that I am secessionist of Somaliland. This is insulting. Whether I am so or not has nothing to do with Wikipedia as long as I am following all rules, principles and policies of Wikipedia. Further more his accusation against me of being Somaliland secessionist is just accusation. There is no solid evidence to support that.

Whatever "middayexpress" or his friend(s) say against me, I will act politely within the limits of Wikipedia.

BELOW IS MY LAST MESSAGE TO "middayexpress talk-page"

Editing and counter editing (reverting) or accusation and counter accusation again and again is not solution. My style of editing might be different from yours but NPOV, No original resarch, verifiability and reliable sources should be followed by avoiding vandalism, edit warring and conflict of interests.

Wikipedia article (page) is owned by no single person. It is free encyclopedia that everyone can contribute (edit) as long as he/she does not violate Wikipedia policies and principles. Thus I again analyzed Puntland article and found out the following points:

1- In the opening (first) paragraph there is sentence “A third of the Somali people live in the province.” I tried to verify the validity of this claim but could not find any reliable third party source or publication supporting this. Citation is needed or else this statement will fail to meet reliable sources and verifiability principles (policies)of Wikipedia.

2- In paragraph2 of heading “politics” Puntland#Politics ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puntland#Politics), there is sentence “Dr Farole had left Puntland in 2006 after a falling out with then president Hersi over a deal with the Australian company Range Resources.” The prefix “Dr.” is used when the person holds doctoral degree and as we know Mr. Farole has been PhD candidate at La Trobe University (see http://www.latrobe.edu.au/uninews/assets/downloads/190109.pdf ). Citation of reliable third party source or publication supporting this (Dr.) is required otherwise it will be removed in accordance with Wikipedia principles.

3- In the heading “geography” Puntland#Geography( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puntland#Geography ), “Karkaar, Haylaan and Cayn” are mentioned as regions of Somalia (Somali Republic) that are part of Puntland State. But according to the last administrative divisions (regions) of Somalia such regions did not exist (see http://www.statoids.com/uso.html). You left message on mytalk page User_talk:Dantaada ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dantaada) saying “ http://www.statoids.com/uso.html ” to be outdated (page was updated 2007). Suppose (2007)is outdated as you think but remember as long as there is no Somali Republic Government that redistributes or names new regions (administrative divisions), these regions mentioned at statoids.com and else where are valid. Thus to claim “Karkaar, Haylaan and Cayn” as regions of Somalia, citation is needed that is both reliable and verifiable otherwise they will be subject to review within the boundaries of Wikipedia policies and principles. On the other hand, the region Mudug consists of: “Jariiban, Goldogob, Gaalkacyo, Hobyo and Xaradheere” districts (administrative subdivisions) (see http://www.statoids.com/yso.html). Puntland controls (administrates) “Jariiban, Goldogob and part of Gaalkacyo (Northern part)”. The remaining districts (i.e Hobyo, Xaradheere and south Gaalkacyo) are out of Puntland State’s rule. As per NPOV, this fact is to be mentioned.

4- Again in the heading “geography” Puntland#Geography ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puntland#Geography ), in the second last paragraph says “Both the Sool and Sanaag regions have declared themselves autonomous parts of Somalia as Northland State (2008) and Maakhir State (2007), respectively, but Maakhir has rejoined Puntland after the arrival of General Abdullahi Ahmed Jama Ilkajir in 2008.” There is no citation for this statement. Unless citation of reliable and verifiable third party source or publication is supported, it will be open to revision.

5- Come to farole page. His academic (education) record and work experience are taken from the source: Garoweonline.com ( http://www.garoweonline.com/artman2/publish/puntland_election/C_raxman_Farole_oo_soo_gudbiyey_C_V.shtml ). However Goroweonline.com is not reliable source. In this link of Mr. Farole’s CV, it says “PhD Candidate –Development of Somali Financial Institutions in historical perspective.” At the same time it has another article by itself ( http://www.garoweonline.com/artman2/publish/Somalia_27/Somalia_A_historic_journey_from_opposition_to_the_Puntland_presidency.shtml ) in which it calls Dr. Farole “Dr. Farole, 63, won in the third round of voting by the 66-seat Puntland Parliament, which essentially functions as the region's Electoral College.” This is the latest one of the two links by garoweonline.com. Garoweonline.com publications (articles) contradict each other. Thus farole page requires new revision and reliable citations.

On conclusion, I ask you (middayexpress) to consider the works (contributions) of others to farole, puntland and other Somali related Wikipedia Pages by not reverting (undoing) and disrupting their efforts as long as they do not violate Wikipedia policies and principles. On the other hand, if you have objection(s) on the points I have discussed above of puntland and farole, you are welcome to share with me and other concerned Wikipedians. Remember Wikipedia is free encyclopedia everyone can edit on good faith.

N.B.: last time you (middayexpress) left me message on my talkpage User_talk:Dantaada that seemed aggressive. It says “Look Shabeellaha: I know it's you. And if you persist with this charade, so will everyone else. I'm asking you again nicely to desist with your soapboxing. Middayexpress (talk) 21:31, 14 August 2009 (UTC)”

Please be patient and polite.

That was my message at "middayexpress talk-page"

You or one of the other bots deleted my first article about Crash Love by AFI. I had done nothing wrong. I had put in the new bonus tracks for the deluxe edition and made a music chart for the medicate song and the album itself.

The word "destroyed" had been used for years. That was the change that was supposed to be discussed. Also, the deal that Docheff claimed did come from one party and it should be noted as such.

Yeah, I deleted the warning I gave you, and tried to go back to undo my edit, but you beat me there. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 16:32, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi.

My IP is banned. I'm not sure why, though if users now have the power to do that, then quite frankly I feel that is terrible.
