Hello,
In the spirit of a lack of bias or indication of endorsement, I request that 'Palestine' not be referred to as a country until it has become a country. Circumstances surrounding the entity at present include an agreement which is recognized by Israel in which the entity is referred to as the 'Palestinian Authority'.

Hello Marek, Please help me. Someone named Hu12 is reverting several links I have to my site at Squinchpix.com. My links are to appropriate and useful pictures. There are no ads on my site. Squinchpix has about 3000 links back to Wikipedia articles. I am a good wiki citizen. Hu12 does not give a reason for deleting my links. Perhaps he doesn't like the pictures. Help!
Hello Marek, O.k. all the links to Squinchpix have now been removed by editors Hu12 and someone name 'CKatz'. I've been told that I'm potentially in a conflict of interest with my links. It is true that I have a small ad on my home page for a book 'The Best of Squinchpix'. I'd forgotten about that since no one has ever purchased a copy of it. Does it require ads to create a conflict of interest? If it does then you should delete all references to paradoxplace.com and sacred-destinations.com. They have hundreds of external links on Wiki and nearly every page linked to contains ads. Their business model is avowedly the travel industry; they sell books, maps, tours, flights, the whole nine yards. Why aren't they being hounded about their links? Unlike them I really have no business model (nor am I ever likely to). But I'm being hounded about fewer than 10 links. Sacred-destinations has 994 external links when I search for it on Wiki. When you click through this external link (Article on 'Sant Pau del Camp'): http://www.sacred-destinations.com/spain/barcelona-sant-pau-del-camp it has a sidebar with links to their business which is selling Books (Amazon), Tours ( http://www.partner.viator.com/en/3888/Barcelona/d562-ttd), Hotels, Hostels, and Car Rentals. Their whole business model is ads.
Paradoxplace.com has 134 hits on Wiki. Every last one of these links contains ads or links to their own ad pages. He sells thousands of books from his site. For example, if you click through Wiki's external link in the article 'Abbey of Santo Domingo de Silos': http://www.paradoxplace.com/Photo%20Pages/Spain/Camino_de_Santiago/South_of_Burgos/Santo_Domingo_de_Silos/Domingo_de_Silos.htm (That's the external link) When you click through it leads you to a page where he sells Amazon books.
And there are a lot more. For example seindal.dk which has 26 external links on Wiki and every one leads to a page on which the sidebar reads "MERCHANDISE" which consists of T-shirts, caps, mugs, kids clothing, bags, home&office supplies, mugs, cards, prints, calendars, and stickers. Let's get Seindal off of Wiki! I'll start right now!
Since Wiki is user-edited I'd be happy to tear out their links for you; just let me know.
It's true that I was warned not to spam in August. I was putting up some links in August and I did this out of ignorance truly not knowing that Wiki would regard it as spamming. Since then I've asked permission as I did you for the Venice link. If I AM a spammer and ParadoxPlace and Sacred-Destinations are NOT spammers then I wish you'd explain the difference to me.
Can we be consistent please?
My goal is to take the best and most complete pictures available on the web of various art and architecture and archaeological sites. It's in that spirit that I linked to my site from Wiki.
Best regards,

Hello Marek,
Thank you for looking into this. I guess the frustrating thing is that the pictures to which I linked definitely enhance the articles in which they were placed. However, I undertake never to link to Squinchpix again since that's your policy.
I'm asking you, if you will, to consider undeleting these links. Follow the links if you have the time and judge for yourself whether they're relevant to the articles in which they were inserted. CKatz says that it's not a viable option to use the external links feature for this purpose. Well, it's certainly viable for some people to do it. I think it's the lack of consistency that's the puzzling thing. I confess that I don't really understand it.
Anyway, that's what I'm asking. Either way; no more links to Squinchpix on my part. That's a promise.

Hi, are you using a bot to generate welcome messages on anonymous IP talk pages? It would be helpful if the first edit of the IP were examined before posting a welcome message. In those cases where the intent of the editor is clearly to spam Wikipedia, a warning rather than a welcome is warranted. Such was the case at User talk:93.139.8.176. ~ Amatulić ( talk) 20:39, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Why do you revert the truth?
The contect marked is either not NPOV or is not verifiable and in fact the contect which is not verifiable is mostly untrue, that's why it's not. For example the colonel did not develope this game a team of programmers hired my the Army did. That's just one example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.235.22.27 ( talk) 03:06, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Are you that naive? My second edit ever?
Seriously man get a grip, IPs change, often, just because someone has a life and edited by IP doesn't mean you can track their entire life by it, how silly is that.
Fact, the information is true, verifiable, makes no personl remarks and thus is NPOV, is is also under controversy which seems correct as well, you people want to change it because you don't like the truth unless it suits you and that's obvious.
As for the other edit, opinions are not NPOV, to say the got this award or that awrd is one thing, but to include the remarks which are not NPOV is entirely different considering your problem with the controversy, "what's good for the goose is good for the gander", also there were more edits than just the table, there are also other non NPOVs that were cited as well throughout the artical and untrue statements, like a single Army colonel develpoed the game, but you because you don't like the truth and think you are the great god of wiki hastly revert the entire thing without reading or understanding it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.235.22.27 ( talk) 04:13, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Marek, I understand you were very friendly with the user Theologiae and that you helped him out. He has been banned because we used the same computer to make accounts and that we only edited similar articles. This led to myself, Theologiae, Aslordofd and Seurope being banned for "sockpuppetry". Is there any chance you could help? Please respond on my page -- Atlantispy09 ( talk) 20:21, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
They did investigate me and I know the user who was accused is innocent also. Unfortunatley I have know way to prove short of videoing ourselves. Theologiae did edit other articles. I hadn't had the chance before the block was initiated. Aslordofd was a new user like me not getting the chance to edit or not having enough time due to work. Go-COD-MW2 also is innocent and wasn't blocked due to the fact he edited COD MW2. Seurope was banned for no particular reason and there was no proof that he was a sock. I admit I didn't know to declare the sharing of an IP adress.

Marek69,
I wanted to get your opinion on an idea I had for creating new Wikipedia article stubs based on Public Domain Books hosted by Google Books. I got the idea when reading the Wikipedia Article on Wikipedia's Growth, link included here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Modelling_Wikipedia's_growth At one point in the article it mentioned that an article stub was created for every town in the United States by Rambot in October of 2002. Here is the quote from the article.
"The sudden jump in article count in October 2002 is due to roughly 30,000 stub articles on U.S. towns and cities generated from a database being added by an auto-posting robot, Rambot, during an eight-day period. Although initially controversial as to whether these were "real" encyclopedia articles or merely "stubs", most of the Rambot articles have since been substantially expanded."
That got me thinking that other large data sets of notable and important books might also be worth automatically creating stubs for which can then later be expanded upon. With this information still fresh in my mind I was checking up on the progress of Google Books and noted that they are now hosting more than 1,000,000 public domain books as part of their Google Books project.
I think it would be an incredibly valuable resource to have a bot like Rambot which created the town stubs for the 30,000 cites of the United States to create 1,000,000 stubs for the public domain books hosted on Google Books. This is a resource of already vetted and notable material, hopefully in a standard format at Google of author, title, publication date, publishing group, summary of the book and more.
Let me know what you think of the idea and if it has been tried before.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
OrangeCorner OrangeCorner ( talk) 11:21, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Why was my editing undone? I don't see how it was unconstructive. I wrote a summary of what I did. I got my info directly from icenetwork.com, which is owned by United States Figure Skating. US Figure Skating organizes and runs these championships. So if I can get some specifics as to what was so wrong that my info was removed, it would help. I'm not being sarcastic or angry, just confused. Please explain. Thank you.

I've been putting up the pictures, sometimes anonamously, on Kabbalah and Hasidic pages. This post is just to say that when you changed the text terminology from "Image:" to "File:" today, two pictures dissapeared on Hasidic philosophy! The top, introductory picture was missing a "]", so it disappeared. The second, Ukrainian Carpathians picture disappeared, I think, because the text straight after it continued without an "Enter"-button break! Thanks anyway for your vigilance, but please be careful about disappearing pictures! I'm just wondering also, isn't "Image:" just as good as "File:"? Tell me, and in future I'll use "File:". "File:" is more automatic, as wikimedia images are listed as that, but in the later image gallery on the page, "Image:" is more natural, as that is the automatically generated format when you click the image galley button. Please advise me! April8 ( talk) 18:57, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

I would like to make it clear that I have never even edited Wikipedia in the first place, let alone vandalised it, and I don't even have an account... this isn't a shared computer, and my name is not Monique, so there has obviously been a mistake made here... is it possible that my IP address is shared? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.92.130.208 ( talk) 00:03, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
The last edit you reverted as actually OK (just fixing a ref title).

Hey, thx for the message. I wanted to edit the article "List of best-selling video games" but it said it was protected. Do I not have the qualifications yet? Anyway, I wanted to add "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" to the list of best selling xbox 360 games ever. It would be number four all-time, on November 12 (so it is now higher, just couldn't find the numbers) it was reported as selling 4.7 million copies. Again, number four below "Gears of War 2" and above "Grand Theft Auto IV". This would knock "Assassin's Creed" off the list, making "Fable II" number 10. If you could do this for me, that would be great. Also, since it just came out, it will be rising up the charts quickly, so watch it. In the next year it could be number one. Thank you!

Hi Marek69, and thanks for your interest in igloo. Before using the program, please read the following information carefully - failure to do so may result in your test access being revoked.
igloo is a JavaScript-powered, browser-based anti-vandalism tool, which means you do not have to download or install anything on your computer and it will work on multiple operating systems. However, it does mean that the performance relies on that of your browser and it may operate more slowly than downloaded programs. You must have either Mozilla Firefox 3+ or Google Chrome to use igloo, as it is currently incompatible with other browsers.
igloo relies on a system called iglooNet to assist you in finding and reverting vandalism. It is this system that transforms the program from a pretty version of recent changes to an actual anti-vandalism tool. Naturally, this is beyond the power of a client-side program, and igloo will regularly communicate with an external, non-Wikimedia server. Because of things like server logs, and the iglooNet abuse tracker, this may allow your IP address to be attached to your username - something which is otherwise impossible on Wikipedia. If you do not want this to happen, you MUST NOT USE IGLOO.
If you decide that you do want to test igloo, please keep in mind that it not wholly stable, and you may experience problems where it performs an invalid edit, or other unwanted action. If this happens, fix any mistakes you've made, apologise to anyone you've offended, and let me know. I don't take any responsibility for your use of the program - if you aren't willing to fix any errors, don't use it.
igloo is already quite powerful. The following is a simple guide to using the program:
If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or other feedback, I'd love to know. If you hate it, and won't be using it again, please let me know why - and I'll remove you from the test whitelist. If you now try and use igloo, you should find that it will allow you to use the program. Thanks, and good luck! Ale_Jrb talk 15:49, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Marek69, why do you think the Sister cities section of the article on Alanya needs three different headings?

I don't understand how this is "AWB cleanup" either, and am pretty sure this isn't what that tool is made to be used for.-- Patrick { oѺ∞} 00:07, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Marek, I'm now active in cleaning up wiki vandalism. Sometimes I found editions that look like vandalism, but I'm not 100% sure. Is there a way to tag such an edition to draw the attention from more experienced wiki-ers that are more familiar to the topic? I wonder whether leaving a message in talk page is an effective way for that situation. It will be nice to know how you guys usually handle this. Thank you.

Why are you reverting to information that is clearly incorrect. There is no way the 3point line in NCAA is 25 feet 9 inches. Why revert to wrong information?

However, editor Rahlgd reverted all with no explanation at all as it can be seen in here. He is the only one who can edit the article without being reverted. Just see the history log in it. Also, this is not the first time he reverts an edit.

Hello Marek, Please help me. Someone named Hu12 is reverting several links I have to my site at Squinchpix.com. My links are to appropriate and useful pictures. There are no ads on my site. Squinchpix has about 3000 links back to Wikipedia articles. I am a good wiki citizen. Hu12 does not give a reason for deleting my links. Perhaps he doesn't like the pictures. Help!
Hello Marek, O.k. all the links to Squinchpix have now been removed by editors Hu12 and someone name 'CKatz'. I've been told that I'm potentially in a conflict of interest with my links. It is true that I have a small ad on my home page for a book 'The Best of Squinchpix'. I'd forgotten about that since no one has ever purchased a copy of it. Does it require ads to create a conflict of interest? If it does then you should delete all references to paradoxplace.com and sacred-destinations.com. They have hundreds of external links on Wiki and nearly every page linked to contains ads. Their business model is avowedly the travel industry; they sell books, maps, tours, flights, the whole nine yards. Why aren't they being hounded about their links? Unlike them I really have no business model (nor am I ever likely to). But I'm being hounded about fewer than 10 links. Sacred-destinations has 994 external links when I search for it on Wiki. When you click through this external link (Article on 'Sant Pau del Camp'): http://www.sacred-destinations.com/spain/barcelona-sant-pau-del-camp it has a sidebar with links to their business which is selling Books (Amazon), Tours ( http://www.partner.viator.com/en/3888/Barcelona/d562-ttd), Hotels, Hostels, and Car Rentals. Their whole business model is ads.
Paradoxplace.com has 134 hits on Wiki. Every last one of these links contains ads or links to their own ad pages. He sells thousands of books from his site. For example, if you click through Wiki's external link in the article 'Abbey of Santo Domingo de Silos': http://www.paradoxplace.com/Photo%20Pages/Spain/Camino_de_Santiago/South_of_Burgos/Santo_Domingo_de_Silos/Domingo_de_Silos.htm (That's the external link) When you click through it leads you to a page where he sells Amazon books.
And there are a lot more. For example seindal.dk which has 26 external links on Wiki and every one leads to a page on which the sidebar reads "MERCHANDISE" which consists of T-shirts, caps, mugs, kids clothing, bags, home&office supplies, mugs, cards, prints, calendars, and stickers. Let's get Seindal off of Wiki! I'll start right now!
Since Wiki is user-edited I'd be happy to tear out their links for you; just let me know.
It's true that I was warned not to spam in August. I was putting up some links in August and I did this out of ignorance truly not knowing that Wiki would regard it as spamming. Since then I've asked permission as I did you for the Venice link. If I AM a spammer and ParadoxPlace and Sacred-Destinations are NOT spammers then I wish you'd explain the difference to me.
Can we be consistent please?
My goal is to take the best and most complete pictures available on the web of various art and architecture and archaeological sites. It's in that spirit that I linked to my site from Wiki.
Best regards,
Bob Consoli—Preceding unsigned comment added by Dante4848 ( talk • contribs) 00:13, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello Marek,
Thank you for looking into this. I guess the frustrating thing is that the pictures to which I linked definitely enhance the articles in which they were placed. However, I undertake never to link to Squinchpix again since that's your policy.
I'm asking you, if you will, to consider undeleting these links. Follow the links if you have the time and judge for yourself whether they're relevant to the articles in which they were inserted. CKatz says that it's not a viable option to use the external links feature for this purpose. Well, it's certainly viable for some people to do it. I think it's the lack of consistency that's the puzzling thing. I confess that I don't really understand it.
Anyway, that's what I'm asking. Either way; no more links to Squinchpix on my part. That's a promise.

Are you that naive? My second edit ever?
Seriously man get a grip, IPs change, often, just because someone has a life and edited by IP doesn't mean you can track their entire life by it, how silly is that.
Fact, the information is true, verifiable, makes no personl remarks and thus is NPOV, is is also under controversy which seems correct as well, you people want to change it because you don't like the truth unless it suits you and that's obvious.
As for the other edit, opinions are not NPOV, to say the got this award or that awrd is one thing, but to include the remarks which are not NPOV is entirely different considering your problem with the controversy, "what's good for the goose is good for the gander", also there were more edits than just the table, there are also other non NPOVs that were cited as well throughout the artical and untrue statements, like a single Army colonel develpoed the game, but you because you don't like the truth and think you are the great god of wiki hastly revert the entire thing without reading or understanding it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.235.22.27 ( talk) 04:13, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

They did investigate me and I know the user who was accused is innocent also. Unfortunatley I have know way to prove short of videoing ourselves. Theologiae did edit other articles. I hadn't had the chance before the block was initiated. Aslordofd was a new user like me not getting the chance to edit or not having enough time due to work. Go-COD-MW2 also is innocent and wasn't blocked due to the fact he edited COD MW2. Seurope was banned for no particular reason and there was no proof that he was a sock.

Marek69,
I wanted to get your opinion on an idea I had for creating new Wikipedia article stubs based on Public Domain Books hosted by Google Books. I got the idea when reading the Wikipedia Article on Wikipedia's Growth, link included here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Modelling_Wikipedia's_growth At one point in the article it mentioned that an article stub was created for every town in the United States by Rambot in October of 2002. Here is the quote from the article.
"The sudden jump in article count in October 2002 is due to roughly 30,000 stub articles on U.S. towns and cities generated from a database being added by an auto-posting robot, Rambot, during an eight-day period. Although initially controversial as to whether these were "real" encyclopedia articles or merely "stubs", most of the Rambot articles have since been substantially expanded."
That got me thinking that other large data sets of notable and important books might also be worth automatically creating stubs for which can then later be expanded upon. With this information still fresh in my mind I was checking up on the progress of Google Books and noted that they are now hosting more than 1,000,000 public domain books as part of their Google Books project.
I think it would be an incredibly valuable resource to have a bot like Rambot which created the town stubs for the 30,000 cites of the United States to create 1,000,000 stubs for the public domain books hosted on Google Books. This is a resource of already vetted and notable material, hopefully in a standard format at Google of author, title, publication date, publishing group, summary of the book and more.
Let me know what you think of the idea and if it has been tried before.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
OrangeCorner OrangeCorner ( talk) 11:21, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

I've been putting up the pictures, sometimes anonamously, on Kabbalah and Hasidic pages. This post is just to say that when you changed the text terminology from "Image:" to "File:" today, two pictures dissapeared on Hasidic philosophy! The top, introductory picture was missing a "]", so it disappeared. The second, Ukrainian Carpathians picture disappeared, I think, because the text straight after it continued without an "Enter"-button break! Thanks anyway for your vigilance, but please be careful about disappearing pictures! I'm just wondering also, isn't "Image:" just as good as "File:"? Tell me, and in future I'll use "File:". "File:" is more automatic, as wikimedia images are listed as that, but in the later image gallery on the page, "Image:" is more natural, as that is the automatically generated format when you click the image galley button.

Hey, I recently received a message from you asking me to refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, and you provided me with a link to a page that I had supposedly vandalised - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3aMonique?diff=324027578.
I would like to make it clear that I have never even edited Wikipedia in the first place, let alone vandalised it, and I don't even have an account... this isn't a shared computer, and my name is not Monique, so there has obviously been a mistake made here... is it possible that my IP address is shared? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.92.130.208 ( talk) 00:03, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
The last edit you reverted as actually OK (just fixing a ref title). The user has made some attempts to source the material, though I went through and tagged or deleted statements not supported by the refs. I think there could be some WP:UNDUE issues, so I'd suggest you review the newest material added and weigh in. Thanks, OhNoitsJamie Talk 18:57, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I blanked out a page for Mystery Social, because the page should be deleted and I don't know how. Instead you reverted the page back?

I don't appreciate my response (accidently posted as an IP) being reverted as test edits when other IPs have blatantly violated our policies by suggesting that people vandalize another Wiki.

Hey, thx for the message. I wanted to edit the article "List of best-selling video games" but it said it was protected. Do I not have the qualifications yet? Anyway, I wanted to add "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" to the list of best selling xbox 360 games ever. It would be number four all-time, on November 12 (so it is now higher, just couldn't find the numbers) it was reported as selling 4.7 million copies. Again, number four below "Gears of War 2" and above "Grand Theft Auto IV". This would knock "Assassin's Creed" off the list, making "Fable II" number 10. If you could do this for me, that would be great. Also, since it just came out, it will be rising up the charts quickly, so watch it. In the next year it could be number one. Thank you! Crookedvulture ( talk) 19:28, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Ok, thanks. By the way, don't use that data yet, those numbers are for all three platforms, not just xbox 360, which is the list I planned on editing. Crookedvulture ( talk) 21:24, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Marek - I just reverted some very offensive (racist) vandalism to the above from a shared IP. The IP has been given warning and has a block history. I don't know what to do in these cases - the technology's rather more than I can handle - so left a notice on user Snigbrook's page then noticed you're online at the moment. Would it be poss for you to report it? Honestly, I ask not through laziness but simple lack of competence... Regards, Haploidavey ( talk) 19:54, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi Marek69, and thanks for your interest in igloo. Before using the program, please read the following information carefully - failure to do so may result in your test access being revoked.
igloo is a JavaScript-powered, browser-based anti-vandalism tool, which means you do not have to download or install anything on your computer and it will work on multiple operating systems. However, it does mean that the performance relies on that of your browser and it may operate more slowly than downloaded programs. You must have either Mozilla Firefox 3+ or Google Chrome to use igloo, as it is currently incompatible with other browsers.
igloo relies on a system called iglooNet to assist you in finding and reverting vandalism. It is this system that transforms the program from a pretty version of recent changes to an actual anti-vandalism tool. Naturally, this is beyond the power of a client-side program, and igloo will regularly communicate with an external, non-Wikimedia server. Because of things like server logs, and the iglooNet abuse tracker, this may allow your IP address to be attached to your username - something which is otherwise impossible on Wikipedia. If you do not want this to happen, you MUST NOT USE IGLOO.
If you decide that you do want to test igloo, please keep in mind that it not wholly stable, and you may experience problems where it performs an invalid edit, or other unwanted action. If this happens, fix any mistakes you've made, apologise to anyone you've offended, and let me know. I don't take any responsibility for your use of the program - if you aren't willing to fix any errors, don't use it.
igloo is already quite powerful. The following is a simple guide to using the program:
If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or other feedback, I'd love to know. If you hate it, and won't be using it again, please let me know why - and I'll remove you from the test whitelist. If you now try and use igloo, you should find that it will allow you to use the program. Thanks, and good luck! Ale_Jrb talk 15:49, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi Marek 69,
Thank you for the plate of cookies! :-) I do in fact, need your help. I posted an entry: "Alcarez rugs". The main title is supposed to be: Alcaraz Rugs. I cannot figure out how to change this. Would you please help me?
Additionally, I want to post images I found on a few websites. How do I get permission to do this? Do I have to give the site credit? I tried looking over this in Wikicommons. Perhaps you could direct me to a specific section?
Thanks so much! —Preceding unsigned comment added by G329 ( talk • contribs) 16:27, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Marek, I'm now active in cleaning up wiki vandalism. Sometimes I found editions that look like vandalism, but I'm not 100% sure. Is there a way to tag such an edition to draw the attention from more experienced wiki-ers that are more familiar to the topic? I wonder whether leaving a message in talk page is an effective way for that situation. It will be nice to know how you guys usually handle this. Thank you.

Why are you reverting to information that is clearly incorrect. There is no way the 3point line in NCAA is 25 feet 9 inches. Why revert to wrong information? Just because some uncited article in wikipedia says it's 25 feet 9 inches doesnt make it so. It's 20 feet 9inches, which every website in the world with that content except wikipedia would state.

Hello. The article Brazil has several issues, the main one is the fact that it's simply huge and overly detailed. In accordance with Wikipedia:WikiProject Countries and taking as model other Featured class articles such as Canada, India and Peru as I explained in here. As I made the changes, I explained carefully why and where I made them such as in here.
However, editor Rahlgd reverted all with no explanation at all as it can be seen in here. He is the only one who can edit the article without being reverted. Just see the history log in it. Also, this is not the first time he reverts an edit.
His behavior is clearly ownership. Please, help us. -- Lecen ( talk) 01:30, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
