Hi Jossi. Thank you for responding to my message at WP:AN. I think the two users I mentioned, Kingstonjr and Hashbrowns are the same users, but I am unsure of this. I added a another note at Kingstonjr's talk page saying instead of a image gallery, to consider changing it to links like the fair use images he has already listed below his galleries. Thanks again!

Hi, Jossi. I have to ask you about something. I have seen that there are many articles are created by IP user. So, what kinds of article is deleted?

Hi Jossi - I'm very sorry to have disappointed your expectation in me, but it had become impossible for me to compromise my principles. I don't covet adminship at all, so it wasn't a difficult decision - I simply cannot accept misrepresentation and nonsense. However, I cannot tell you how greatly joyous I feel at the enthusiastic, wonderful support you expressed for me. I don't know how hard it will be to understand that your supports means extremely a lot to me. I thank you from my heart, and please let me know if I can ever be assistance or help in anything.

Thank you for protecting the article. The article has been protected before, but was unlocked and the edit war continued. The problem is that Ante Starcevic is considered the father of Croatia, but some of his books suggest he was a racist. Since he also contributed widely in other fields of siciology, the racist books were hidden from the public. However, it needs to be mentioned, and I understand that Croats don't feel comfortable with the fact that he wasn't perfect. Heck, no one is. Please don't unlock this article, as some have did before you, at this moment, there are sources for everything. Once again, thank you, and God bless. -- serbiana - talk 00:58, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I think you've made a grave mistake by protecting the propagandist Serbian "version" (if this can be called a version at all). So, be kind to: a) read both "contesting" versions (the one I've been writing about is far from finished yet) b)decide which version would better fit wiki standards of neutrality and comprehensivity. Also, you can check talk page for pro-et-con arguments. IMO-no one should hurriedly try to protect a page without assessing its value. Mir Harven 14:18, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Jossi, see you again. But this question is not about vandalism, or Wikipedia's policies. It's about concentration camps from World War second. I edited the article in last month April, I think. But, In Germany part about murder of Jewish People. I added article like this 6 million of Jewish people were died in Concentration Camps from total 11 million people. It this sentence would be good for Article about Concentration Camps?

i need your help on the inquisition/spanish inquisition pages. your very neutral edits were done over by stbalbach - i reverted it to your edit but i doubt he'll be far behind. as for the spanish inquisition page, i think the version that was called npov is very objective. i am about to restore it-could you have some of the better established people look at it and make any changes THEY might think is necessary instead of the "white-washing" talked about on the inquisition/spanish inquisition talk pages? i would be most grateful. 24.145.184.199 05:34, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
User:24.145.184.199 has continued to revert war violating 3RR
The user is reverting not only material that is controversial, but a NPOV tag and {fact} citation requests and external links and country codes. Basically there is little thought going on, its knee-jerk. I have tried to compromise and kept a large part of his edits and explain my edits on the talk page the user simply resorts to demogogary saying "revisionism" and wholesale reverts.
If you'd rather not deal with it personally, I will go to the 3RR page through official channels. I just thought since you already have a history with this user I would start here. -- Stbalbach 16:55, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

The reason that I asked you about to write the article like this because I'm usually not editing the article much, only catching vandalisms like your job in wikipedia.

I changed your test3 to a test1, for completeness' sake. Feel free to change it back if you feel it's more appropriate. I originally skipped test1 on Yankees-Red Sox rivalry because of the frequency of the vandalism (I missed more vandalism the first time I tried to revert, then I got stung by an edit conflict the second time!) and because (partly because of the multiple edits) they seemed to be pretty obviously in bad faith.

Hello! I hope you are doing fine. By the way, you are my admin coach and I need your help on a recent image I have uploaded to Wikipedia. My question is: How do I add this tag; This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. The description on its description page there is shown below. to the particular image page? I got this image from Commons and I am using this picture in this article. Will this image be deleted from Wikipedia in the future because I got this from Commons? I have also uploaded 3 images so far, but ALL of them were deleted. It is my wish to be competent in editing this area of Wikipedia as well. I must admit that I am still pretty green about this part of Wikipedia.
Secondly, I wish to combat vandalism, but I lack the necessary tools for doing this. I am unable to download this software, VandalProof and it is very difficult to fight vandalism manually by going into the recent changes page. I hope that you would help me improve my editing in these areas of Wikipedia. Despite being 4 months here, I am still unfamiliar with the editing process regarding these two aspects of Wikipedia. If I am able to master these areas, I believe this would make me a more complete user of Wikipedia. Thank You so much for your kind attention.

I see no consensus for his latest change either, but, although it has been 24 hours since I last reverted him, I am stepping back a little and not reverting, because it is getting personal, and that it not helpful.

This is looking like a promotion. Oliver removed both the paragraph about the lawsuit and the sentence you added about the federal release. HE wrote out that he was visiting professor etc etc, which is really not appropriate in a bio - ok for 'recognition' (maybe) which is where they are. So he duplicated the recognition, placing it in the text and in its own section. SOmething needs to be done. Can any friend or student create a puff piece or duplicate a CV on here? MollyBloom 16:12, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks! If you take a look at the history of what Rob had recently added (and is now removed), you will see even more of what I mean. For example, he had a sentence about how Maxell 'revolutionalized' a procedure with no reference at all. Many of these statements that exist now attribute acclaim that is only referenced by GPM own journal articles. I left those in, but the rest is most certainly not appropriate. MollyBloom 17:02, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Could I ask you to take a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sadullah Khan? I voted on this late, and cleaned up the article around I voted (probably just after). I am pretty much certain that the delete voters were simply put off by the poor writing of the original article—and probably an unfamiliarity with that characteristic excessively deferential Islamic style—and failed to examine the actual notability of the biography subject. It was closed as "delete" with only two "delete" votes by registered editors; that just seems wrong to me.
Actually, I wish now that I had saved the article text so I could recreate my slightly cleaned up version. I wonder also if you, as an admin, are able to grab that deleted text still (and maybe copy it to my talk page or somewhere). I did raise an issue at deletion review, perhaps you would opine there as well.
Since I don't have the text in front of me anymore, I am going largely from memory. But basically, Sadullah Khan was author of the "Ask the Imam" column at Beliefnet.com (which had a readership well past 5000, I'm sure); and he also apparently was co-founder of the Freedom University in South Africa (which meets the "professor test" to my mind). I guess nowadays he's director of some Islamic Center in California (I forget which one now, maybe Los Angeles or San Diego). That last thing by itself might not quite reach notability, though I think it would make a plausible argument; but combined with the well-read authorship and university founding, I think it's a slam-dunk keep if someone looks closely.

i need your help on the inquisition/spanish inquisition pages. your very neutral edits were done over by stbalbach - i reverted it to your edit but i doubt he'll be far behind. as for the spanish inquisition page, i think the version that was called npov is very objective. i am about to restore it-could you have some of the better established people look at it and make any changes THEY might think is necessary instead of the "white-washing" talked about on the inquisition/spanish inquisition talk pages? i would be most grateful. 24.145.184.199 05:34, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
User:24.145.184.199 has continued to revert war violating 3RR
The user is reverting not only material that is controversial, but a NPOV tag and {fact} citation requests and external links and country codes. Basically there is little thought going on, its knee-jerk. I have tried to compromise and kept a large part of his edits and explain my edits on the talk page the user simply resorts to demogogary saying "revisionism" and wholesale reverts.
If you'd rather not deal with it personally, I will go to the 3RR page through official channels. I just thought since you already have a history with this user I would start here. -- Stbalbach 16:55, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

My editing article about Hounen Matsuri and lists of famous virgins is the reason for about half of my blocks. :lol:. 132.241.246.111 19:25, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
The reason that I asked you about to write the article like this because I'm usually not editing the article much, only catching vandalisms like your job in wikipedia. I just wanted to add the good information on articles. I understand that you are first language is Spanish. So, What country were you born in? I'm just curious. Please, send me message rather than answer my message in your talk page. Sorry for bothering you about editing good article. Hope you have great time to join in Wikipedia.

What vandalism did I add to George W. Bush. All I said was that he was the chair of G8 in 2004. I stated a fact. Why are you accusing me? Thank you. Abc85 19:50, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm just wondering why that unprotection request was deleted but the ones before and after were not. The edit summary said "cleanup". Was it too messy? Or what? SkeenaR 04:21, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, Jossi, for voting in my RFA. It closed with a final result of 75/1/0. Now that I am an administrator here, I will continue to improve this encyclopedia, using my new tools to revert vandalism, block persistent vandals, protect pages that have been vandalized intensively, and close AFD discussions. Any questions? Please contact me by adding a new section on my talk page. Again, thanks to all of you who participated!!! -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:23, 20 May 2006 (UTC) |
I changed your test3 to a test1, for completeness' sake. Feel free to change it back if you feel it's more appropriate. I originally skipped test1 on Yankees-Red Sox rivalry because of the frequency of the vandalism (I missed more vandalism the first time I tried to revert, then I got stung by an edit conflict the second time!) and because (partly because of the multiple edits) they seemed to be pretty obviously in bad faith.

Hello! I hope you are doing fine. By the way, you are my admin coach and I need your help on a recent image I have uploaded to Wikipedia. My question is: How do I add this tag; This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. The description on its description page there is shown below. to the particular image page? I got this image from Commons and I am using this picture in this article. Will this image be deleted from Wikipedia in the future because I got this from Commons? I have also uploaded 3 images so far, but ALL of them were deleted. It is my wish to be competent in editing this area of Wikipedia as well. I must admit that I am still pretty green about this part of Wikipedia.
Secondly, I wish to combat vandalism, but I lack the necessary tools for doing this. I am unable to download this software, VandalProof and it is very difficult to fight vandalism manually by going into the recent changes page. I hope that you would help me improve my editing in these areas of Wikipedia. Despite being 4 months here, I am still unfamiliar with the editing process regarding these two aspects of Wikipedia. If I am able to master these areas, I believe this would make me a more complete user of Wikipedia. Thank You so much for your kind attention.

I don't think it was necessary to protect the Nietzsche article. I, and several others were adding good information. It was, just a couple people causing trouble, and their nonsensical additions were dealt with promptly. Please consider unprotecting it. Thank you. Dume7 15:42, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I added the National Labor Federation because it is referred to as a cult by Rick Ross and the addition was sourced as such. Rick Ross appears to be a legit source for cult listings for this article. Why was this treated by you as vandalism? 70.108.80.218 01:41, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for trying to improving the article at Macedonian language. I have reverted your change as I don't think it improves the article, and furthermore it makes the article harder to work with for others. If you disagree I would be happy to discuss it on the talk page. Thanks :) - FrancisTyers 09:59, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi Jossi, Seem to have a problem moving article "Speckled Moray" to "Speckled moray". The new name already exists - I tried moving that to "Speckled" temporarily, but of course that jusy left a Redirect. I understand I can't simply "cut & Paste". Are you able to sort out the mess I have created? Thank you if you can. (Will I get a notification?) GrahamBould 10:46, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your reverts at Woman: Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Nunh-huh 01:23, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Also, you shouldn't be removing warnings from your talk page. - Nunh-huh 01:30, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
I did not realize that you were an admin. Sorry. Please note, that I am not involved in the content dispute. I have Woman in my watch list to fight vandalism. Fighting vandalism, such as the removal of images by an editor, is not a "revert" as per WP:3RR. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 01:35, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I see no consensus for his latest change either, but, although it has been 24 hours since I last reverted him, I am stepping back a little and not reverting, because it is getting personal, and that it not helpful. Perhaps his semantic games just remind me of my nephew at fifteen. Your cooler head will be welcome. Robert A.West ( Talk) 01:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Jossie, can you please take a look at this thread and give your opinion? Thanks. SSS108 talk- email 22:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
This is looking like a promotion. Oliver removed both the paragraph about the lawsuit and the sentence you added about the federal release. HE wrote out that he was visiting professor etc etc, which is really not appropriate in a bio - ok for 'recognition' (maybe) which is where they are. So he duplicated the recognition, placing it in the text and in its own section. SOmething needs to be done. Can any friend or student create a puff piece or duplicate a CV on here? MollyBloom 16:12, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks! If you take a look at the history of what Rob had recently added (and is now removed), you will see even more of what I mean. For example, he had a sentence about how Maxell 'revolutionalized' a procedure with no reference at all. Many of these statements that exist now attribute acclaim that is only referenced by GPM own journal articles. I left those in, but the rest is most certainly not appropriate. MollyBloom 17:02, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Could I ask you to take a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sadullah Khan? I voted on this late, and cleaned up the article around I voted (probably just after). I am pretty much certain that the delete voters were simply put off by the poor writing of the original article—and probably an unfamiliarity with that characteristic excessively deferential Islamic style—and failed to examine the actual notability of the biography subject. It was closed as "delete" with only two "delete" votes by registered editors; that just seems wrong to me.
Actually, I wish now that I had saved the article text so I could recreate my slightly cleaned up version. I wonder also if you, as an admin, are able to grab that deleted text still (and maybe copy it to my talk page or somewhere). I did raise an issue at deletion review, perhaps you would opine there as well.
Since I don't have the text in front of me anymore, I am going largely from memory. But basically, Sadullah Khan was author of the "Ask the Imam" column at Beliefnet.com (which had a readership well past 5000, I'm sure); and he also apparently was co-founder of the Freedom University in South Africa (which meets the "professor test" to my mind). I guess nowadays he's director of some Islamic Center in California (I forget which one now, maybe Los Angeles or San Diego). That last thing by itself might not quite reach notability, though I think it would make a plausible argument; but combined with the well-read authorship and university founding, I think it's a slam-dunk keep if someone looks closely.

Thanks for voting! Hello Jossi/archive10, and thank you so much for voting in my recent RfA. I am pleased to inform you that it passed with a final tally of (119/1/3), into the WP:100, so I have now been cleared for adminship and will soon be soaring above the clouds. I was overjoyed, shocked, and humbled by the tally, and, most importantly, all the support. Thank you. If there is ever anything you need, you know where you can find me. Take care. |
