May I ask on what grounds you think this user is a sockpuppet. I've been here a few months and watched User:Secretaria. He is a experienced editor who knows the rules from what I've seen. User:Secreatarian on the other hand is very arrogant, in my opinion, who doesn't care. I don't see anything linking them besides their name which would be a little dumb for User:Secretaria to want to make a sock and have nearly the same name.-- Will C 01:51, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Why did you unprotect United States presidential election, 2012 from being created? It is ridiculously early, nearly 4 years away. We don't even know how many electoral votes each state will have until 2010, it should be creation protected till then. CTJF83 Talk 08:05, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
I just noticed this as I checked through the Talk:Canada page history as requested by admin on my user page. I had posted a link to the 1RR admin report on the Canada:Talk page [3]. It appears that G2bambino removed this link, which I believe constitutes a blanking violation. It involves changing the context of one of your posts from a response to my post, to an original post by you.
Could you please 1. Restore the original (if I restore, it could look as as the original blanking) 2. Apply these civility conditions. Also, please post a notice of this to User_talk:G2bambino; I wish to limit my contact. Thanks. -- soulscanner ( talk) 09:21, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello Master of Puppets,
Thanks for fixing malplaced disambiguation pages. I noticed that you deleted several redirects created after the moves. In most occasions, deleting them is unnecessary, primarily because they are harmless, but also because they can be used to link to disambiguation pages (see WP:INTDABLINK). As an example, the redirect Bones (disambiguation) you deleted was linked from Bone (disambiguation).
I've recreated several redirects that have incoming links, but it is possible that some of them had a substantial history that should probably be kept (i.e. if they contain an article or a disambiguation page that was later merged into another). In particular, I am referring to the following pages:
Could you please check their history, and restore them if appropriate? Thank you for your time. Best regards, Korg ( talk) 00:46, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Per your message, I do believe I could help there. I recently learned much about them, how to use them, any many other things. What do you need help with?(Also, don't ask how I learned them, I rather not return to that hell at this time(140kb of parser functions)).— Dæ dαlus Contribs / Improve 00:51, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

This is from WP:VANDALISM under "Discussion page vandalism": Blanking the posts of other users from talk pages other than your own, Wikipedia space, and other discussions, aside from removing internal spam, vandalism, etc., is generally considered vandalism.

Hi.. unfortunately that code didn't work :/ [ roux » x] 08:18, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your multiple supports for my RfA, which closed yesterday. I can honestly say no one cast as many !votes as you did, and your repeated backing was flattering, if a little disturbing. Vague images of a Daley-esque victory swam into my mind, before the votes were indented and it all came crashing down.
Just kidding. Thanks for your support and for the moment of humour in an otherwise nerve-wracking process. There's a fair bit to learn, so it'll be all quiet for a bit while I read the mountainous series of instruction pages, after which if there's any advice or guidance you think would be helpful, feel free to stop by and pass it on.

Hi MOP, I hope you will recall the article Islam and Sikhism and the same amount of intimidation/manipulation is clearly visible on Sikh Extremism it seems apparent as well as ironic that these zealous editors clearly don't speak for the majority of Sikhs, because I feel the majority would rather root out those connected to terrorist activities, We have noticed edits by Singh6 who wish to delete Sikh Extremism have defaced the article with too much tagging. The article is well referenced with sources from the BBC, CBC The Times and New York Times - although these sources have been rubbished by another:'Sikh history'
There are 4 Admins who have voted to keep the article, (Flewis, DJ Clayworth, LeagleEagle & KnowledgeHarmony) I was hoping you may get a chance to read the article and perhaps vote without intimidation. Going back to Islam and Sikhism this article has also been vandalized by Singh6, his actions seem to speak louder than words

Why is BotPuppet substituting {{ unsigned}} when WP:SUBST says this matter is under debate? Shouldn't you wait until the debate is over? -- Dr Greg ( talk) 17:50, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps it would've been easier to just ask me to stop the bot instead of block it. :P Whatever though, I can appreciate the usage of force I guess. Anyway, I did read this. While discussion was split down the middle, I noticed that everyone against was saying "there's no reason to, so why should we", and the "it ain't broken so don't fix it" argument is lame. Besides, I still think that this drains a lot of power given how often it is transcluded (I don't care what WP:PERF says because that only applies to the small cases, I'm pretty sure). If we're substituting unsigneds now old ones should also be substituted because of the poor, poor job queue. For what it's worth, here's my reasoning against some examples from that talk page;

TalkM 04:54, 19 November 2008 (UTC)When I blocked your bot today (see previous section) I noticed a separate but important thing: Your bot block link from the big red block button on User:BotPuppet is wrong. It doesn't unset the "Prevent account creation" and "Autoblock any IP addresses used", so I nearly blocked you as a user from editing Wikipedia. And usually such block links should have the expiry time pre-set to "indefinite", since otherwise if we admins miss to set it we get an error message and have to redo the block action. To see how such a link should be done see for instance Legobot or most other bots. Note that I am no expert on this so you should check several bots and compare, since I don't know which is the best way to have that link.

MP, thanks for protecting Maya Angelou. You're right, it's heavily vandalized, especially lately after the US election, mostly by anonymous IPs. And most of the vandalism is insulting, racist, sexist, ect.--everything that Dr. Angelou stands against. It's horrifying. Actually, I'd like to see it be permanently protected. It's fortuitous that this article is protected at this time, since I'm trying to get I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings to FA in time for the 40th anniversary of the publication of the book. (It's in the middle of a copyedit right now.) Hopefully, it'll happen by the end of this year, and get on the front page, which is perfect timing! 'Cause ya know this article will be vandalized at that time, too. Actually, my long-term goal is to create a Maya Angelou featured topic.

I am seeking your opinion as a third-neutral party.
Please take a look at the history for 2008 Mexico City plane crash.
I reverted a few edits (manually, didn't use my RB) to a previous version because the new additions are derived from sources written in Spanish, copied into the article (possible copyvio?) to produce
these ugly boxes.
The user has translated the Spanish into English, completely ignoring grammar, punctuation, or spelling rules. Another editor has suggested "building consensus". Though I am familiar with this policy, I have no idea how to start. The talk page? Won't that take forever? Please help.

I see that you have a message at the bottom of talk page. Unlike the message at the bottom of your talk page, as far as I can tell, IE, my perspective whenever I go there, this user has roughly the same thing, only, for his talk page the bottom message overlaps comments, making them impossible to read. I tried to tell the user about this, how it should be changed, and he gave me a rude response that he didn't have to change it, it worked fine for him, etc. I as wondering if you could find out why it precisely didn't work, and if you could perhaps try to convince the user to alter it so that it works for everyone. There is no way in hell he would listen to me, a past matter, and a current matter indicates he began to dislike me after I deleted a redirect he created. To clarify, by deleted, I mean nom'd for CSD, and when he objected to that, nom'd for an RFD, which got it permanently deleted.— Dæ dαlus Contribs / Improve 00:26, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your efforts to tidy up this article. I like the info box but there is a problem with the date. I see from the edit page that you tried to insert a date of November 15-16, 2008. This however was not displayed in the actual box. We do of course need a date here but I strongly suggest you use November 14-15 (as on the White House site) or just November 15 when the actual summit was held.

Hello, this user doesn't exactly seem to understand civility, per his or her comments with me. It started out with this user templating another user who's user talk page I happen to watch. I then left a friendly note on this users' talk page, which was a template warning her or him against templating, in an obviously humorous, and ironic fashion(it says so right on the template. The user then responded, but not in a friendly manner to my attempt at good faith, and brought up a past matter which he or she obviously knew nothing about. I could bring fourth more diffs, but it could be seen as pointless, as the martial for the observed conversation can easily be found on my talk page and the talk page of the spoken user as listed above. I'm not asking you to take sides, I just want a third, uninvolved user to comment on this.— Dæ dαlus Contribs / Improve 23:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I've restored the consensus version of the Petey page. Mr soapboxer "Wiki-is truth" appeared on the scene about a year and a half ago with his over-the-top rantings and pov skewed soap boxing. Myself, Wiki-alf, Gwernol and several other dedicated editors beat the section apart... cited it properly... bashed neutrality into it... and came up with the version that is there now. If it takes a full lock up to keep the soapboxer at bay then go for it. Just make sure his skewed pov isn't in place before you do. I will speak to Wiki alf about it. Alfie always has a fine level headed approach especially since he is familiar with the first trolling attempts by the soapboxer. Have a nice day!

After he was blocked he asked me to keep some articles, that he was the only one updating constantly, up-to-date. Like List of insurgents killed in Iraq or List of Iraqi security forces killed. But when they found out that I was updating those few articles in his name they blocked me for helping an indefinetly blocked user. That's the story. I didn't know there was a rule against it or I wouldn't have done it. Anyway. I'll be keeping an eye on the Kivu war.

Some additional discussion there in case you haven't be following it. I agree that, so long as he's stopped performing the edits there's no reason to block, but he seems to be getting the impression that a lack of action is an authorization to continue.

The fighting in Nord Kivu is an offensive by Nkunda's troops in the Kivu Conflict, the fighting is not a seperate war from the war Nkunda is fighting in Kivu, it is simply an offensive of that war.

BotPuppet recently corrected a double redirect on my talk page (which, oddly enough, corrected on of your edits O_o). It corrected the double redirect by replacing the original link with the new link ( see here). This isn’t really a problem as much as it is an observation, but I think it would be better if the bot replaced the link with a pipe instead of all together. This would not interfere with the context of the link, which is esapcailly important in a talk page setting. See my follow up edit to see what I mean. – Zntrip 08:42, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

For helping me fix up my signature! Vandali sm Destroyer 09:33, 27 November 2008 (UTC) |
I have no choice but to re-request that they be speedily deleted. The request to restore them is being made by a user with a history of hostility against me and serve no constructive end that could possibly trump not wanting my real world harassers to identify me by my old username. If that was not a concern, I would not have bothered to be renamed as something totally anonymous. Anything of value is still in my current talk page's edit history anyway. It is not right for someone who has acted aggresively against another user to make such requests as restoring stuff that was deleted due to real world concerns. I just want that user to leave me alone already. I have not commented in many deletion discussions since returning. And when I did I made my argument and leave or only reply to those who replied to me. Who replied to who as well as to others at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blah (2nd nomination) or how about to multiple editors at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of SD Gundam G-Generation F mobile suits a discussion for an article I created nonetheless? That user left some bullying rant on my talk page that I'd rather not dignify suggesting that I made a personal attack by calling a nominator in AfD of an article disruptive. Well, laughing at someone else in a discussion is hardly productive/constructive. No reasonable editor could see anything even remote in my most recent AfD comments that could possibly justify an RfC. The only way someone would start such a thing based on these examples of my recent participation could only be doing so out of bias and to again in effect bully someone with whom they obviously disagree. And think about who is trying to make something out of nothing? In most of his recent AfD comments in the past couple of days, he has made four edits in the one for an article I created and made several critiquing me in another one. I didn't comment on his or anyone else's initial "vote." And then there's the talk page rant, and then there's these plastering of my old username on PhilKnight's talk page even though I explicitly state that I do not want my old name bandied about. As you can see if anything others including that individual are being far more confrontational, and disagreeing with someone's arguments is not cause to risk allowing for real world issues to be exacerbated. I would much rather this user just leave me alone already and just ignore me if he doesn't like my arguments. If I can do that, why can't he? If any of my arguments are weak, then let the closing admin decide, but we shouldn't bully people who disagree with us and arrogantly say that just because we disagree they must automatically be disruptive. I think doing incivil things like laughing at others is disruptive, but seriously, citing sources found on Google Books...? Please! As you can see above, I am not commenting on everybody's arguments I disagree with and I certainly am not threatening them with admin boards or making some big effort to restore anything from their userspace that was deleted due to real world harassment issues. I need those pages to remain deleted due to such concerns and no vendetta any individual has against me should possibly trump that. --Happy Thanksgiving! Sincerely, A Nobody My talk 14:28, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
It says "And so begins their Olympic journey...". That seems out of place... And I think it should be replaced by some other paragraph, unless it is bad grammar. I am thinking of editing it, but I don't know if that is out of place (even if I may have the mos knowledge of this article on Wikipedia). So please help!

Your logic is flawed on the deletion of List of Universal Century technology-- no proof has been provided that they are not third party sources. Just because the owners of Gundam sanction it afterwards does not make it a primary source. I insist you explain your line of thought on this, and am here to let you know that this article is most definitely headed for DRV-- all of the Keep arguments were just brushed aside. Moreover, your deletion message in the log itself indicates you speedily deleted it under G6, which is clearly incorrect. The very fact that there was an AFD makes it clear that the deletion was controversial. Jtrainor ( talk) 03:29, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

He "signs" each post with the name claimed, but refuses to sign with four tildes, leaving it up to others to do the {{ unsigned}} entry for him. The claimed name corresponds to a deleted username: [7]

My Article describing Evidence Illustrated: Cases to Illustrate How All The Rules Work was an important, unbiased resource for law professors planning texts to accompany the courses they teach at law school. Any accountant can pick up a copy of the Internal Revenue Code and simply decide "the words mean what the words mean". That is not what the law is about. If you read my Article, you would know that, and know why so many CPAs are heading to law school.
Yes, to begin with, Prof. Scott's book simply cites and quotes the Federal Rules of Evidence; but it is the precise caselaw and caselaw content that is important to law professors and law students that give the most effect to learning. And, which caselaw demonstrates the application of a certain rule and under what circumstances that rule is applied. This is what is of concern and interest to law professors.
Your pathetic little act did violence to my academic integrity, that of Prof. Scott, and to the reputation of Thomas M. Cooley Law School. Stop interfering with academic freedom--the most antithetical concept and act conceivable against a non-biased, non-commercial source such as Wikipedia--and undelete my Article immediately.

May I ask on what grounds you think this user is a sockpuppet. I've been here a few months and watched User:Secretaria. He is a experienced editor who knows the rules from what I've seen. User:Secreatarian on the other hand is very arrogant, in my opinion, who doesn't care.

It involves changing the context of one of your posts from a response to my post, to an original post by you.

Hello Master of Puppets,
Thanks for fixing malplaced disambiguation pages. I noticed that you deleted several redirects created after the moves. In most occasions, deleting them is unnecessary, primarily because they are harmless, but also because they can be used to link to disambiguation pages (see WP:INTDABLINK). As an example, the redirect Bones (disambiguation) you deleted was linked from Bone (disambiguation).
I've recreated several redirects that have incoming links, but it is possible that some of them had a substantial history that should probably be kept (i.e. if they contain an article or a disambiguation page that was later merged into another). In particular, I am referring to the following pages:
Could you please check their history, and restore them if appropriate? Thank you for your time. Best regards, Korg ( talk) 00:46, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Per your message, I do believe I could help there. I recently learned much about them, how to use them, any many other things. What do you need help with?(Also, don't ask how I learned them, I rather not return to that hell at this time(140kb of parser functions)).— Dæ dαlus Contribs / Improve 00:51, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your multiple supports for my RfA, which closed yesterday. I can honestly say no one cast as many !votes as you did, and your repeated backing was flattering, if a little disturbing. Vague images of a Daley-esque victory swam into my mind, before the votes were indented and it all came crashing down.
Just kidding. Thanks for your support and for the moment of humour in an otherwise nerve-wracking process.

Hi MOP, I hope you will recall the article Islam and Sikhism and the same amount of intimidation/manipulation is clearly visible on Sikh Extremism it seems apparent as well as ironic that these zealous editors clearly don't speak for the majority of Sikhs, because I feel the majority would rather root out those connected to terrorist activities, We have noticed edits by Singh6 who wish to delete Sikh Extremism have defaced the article with too much tagging. The article is well referenced with sources from the BBC, CBC The Times and New York Times - although these sources have been rubbished by another:'Sikh history'
There are 4 Admins who have voted to keep the article, (Flewis, DJ Clayworth, LeagleEagle & KnowledgeHarmony) I was hoping you may get a chance to read the article and perhaps vote without intimidation. Going back to Islam and Sikhism this article has also been vandalized by Singh6, his actions seem to speak louder than words

Why is BotPuppet substituting {{ unsigned}} when WP:SUBST says this matter is under debate? Shouldn't you wait until the debate is over? -- Dr Greg ( talk) 17:50, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps it would've been easier to just ask me to stop the bot instead of block it. :P Whatever though, I can appreciate the usage of force I guess. Anyway, I did read this. While discussion was split down the middle, I noticed that everyone against was saying "there's no reason to, so why should we", and the "it ain't broken so don't fix it" argument is lame. Besides, I still think that this drains a lot of power given how often it is transcluded (I don't care what WP:PERF says because that only applies to the small cases, I'm pretty sure). If we're substituting unsigneds now old ones should also be substituted because of the poor, poor job queue. For what it's worth, here's my reasoning against some examples from that talk page;

TalkM 04:54, 19 November 2008 (UTC)When I blocked your bot today (see previous section) I noticed a separate but important thing: Your bot block link from the big red block button on User:BotPuppet is wrong. It doesn't unset the "Prevent account creation" and "Autoblock any IP addresses used", so I nearly blocked you as a user from editing Wikipedia. And usually such block links should have the expiry time pre-set to "indefinite", since otherwise if we admins miss to set it we get an error message and have to redo the block action. To see how such a link should be done see for instance Legobot or most other bots. Note that I am no expert on this so you should check several bots and compare, since I don't know which is the best way to have that link.

Please take a look at the history for 2008 Mexico City plane crash.
I reverted a few edits (manually, didn't use my RB) to a previous version because the new additions are derived from sources written in Spanish, copied into the article (possible copyvio?) to produce
these ugly boxes.
The user has translated the Spanish into English, completely ignoring grammar, punctuation, or spelling rules. Another editor has suggested "building consensus". Though I am familiar with this policy, I have no idea how to start. The talk page? Won't that take forever? Please help.

I see that you have a message at the bottom of talk page. Unlike the message at the bottom of your talk page, as far as I can tell, IE, my perspective whenever I go there, this user has roughly the same thing, only, for his talk page the bottom message overlaps comments, making them impossible to read. I tried to tell the user about this, how it should be changed, and he gave me a rude response that he didn't have to change it, it worked fine for him, etc. I as wondering if you could find out why it precisely didn't work, and if you could perhaps try to convince the user to alter it so that it works for everyone. There is no way in hell he would listen to me, a past matter, and a current matter indicates he began to dislike me after I deleted a redirect he created. To clarify, by deleted, I mean nom'd for CSD, and when he objected to that, nom'd for an RFD, which got it permanently deleted.— Dæ dαlus Contribs / Improve 00:26, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello, this user doesn't exactly seem to understand civility, per his or her comments with me. It started out with this user templating another user who's user talk page I happen to watch. I then left a friendly note on this users' talk page, which was a template warning her or him against templating, in an obviously humorous, and ironic fashion(it says so right on the template. The user then responded, but not in a friendly manner to my attempt at good faith, and brought up a past matter which he or she obviously knew nothing about. I could bring fourth more diffs, but it could be seen as pointless, as the martial for the observed conversation can easily be found on my talk page and the talk page of the spoken user as listed above.

I've restored the consensus version of the Petey page. Mr soapboxer "Wiki-is truth" appeared on the scene about a year and a half ago with his over-the-top rantings and pov skewed soap boxing. Myself, Wiki-alf, Gwernol and several other dedicated editors beat the section apart... cited it properly... bashed neutrality into it... and came up with the version that is there now. If it takes a full lock up to keep the soapboxer at bay then go for it. Just make sure his skewed pov isn't in place before you do. I will speak to Wiki alf about it. Alfie always has a fine level headed approach especially since he is familiar with the first trolling attempts by the soapboxer. Have a nice day!

I dont know anything with Starczamora, me and Bluemask were having a conversation about this image then I was shocked because he joined in our conversation while suspecting me those being a sock puppet, I told him that Im not aware of that, then he still putting sock tag on my userpage, I keep on reverting his edits but he still revert my edits also. I request you Admin to blocked Starczamora because of vandalisms on my userpage. Thanks. Wynchard Bloom ( talk) 04:18, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Its better not to unblock him/her because he keeps on making new accounts aside from Slemcal, Slemcal1 also created this account, Samsterzai which is now blocked and even if you unblocked him still he will not changed and still he will stil put fannish statements on Sam Concepcion, its better not to unblock him anymore. Its my opinion! Wynchard Bloom contact me My work 04:33, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

I removed that for the reason I typed at the edit summary. And was unsourced, too... You might move Kivu conflict to War in Kivu, but the name fighting fits very good because it's just a part of the overall conflict.

I appreciate your offer to work together. But I can not register, because I had already been a registered user but I tried to help a user who had been blocked indefinetly because of copy-paste violations and they had blocked me also indefinetly for trying to help the blocked user, so now I am keeping a low profile and staying out of the spotlight. But, if you want, I'll work with you and help you in any way possible. Cheers! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.216.236.45 ( talk) 01:33, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
After he was blocked he asked me to keep some articles, that he was the only one updating constantly, up-to-date. Like List of insurgents killed in Iraq or List of Iraqi security forces killed. But when they found out that I was updating those few articles in his name they blocked me for helping an indefinetly blocked user. That's the story. I didn't know there was a rule against it or I wouldn't have done it. Anyway. I'll be keeping an eye on the Kivu war. I myself personally update greatly the Iraq, Afghan, Pakistan and Sri Lankan war articles. Also I get involved when any large war comes into the spotlight, like the South Ossetia war and the Lebanon conflict that happened this year. 89.216.236.45 ( talk) 06:05, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to ask you to undelete Joslyn Pennywell. I read the rules for notability and I think she meets the requirements. She has contributed to entertainement in an unique way (she holds the record for ANTM auditions, won quite a few pageants and was a victim of a scam which was talked about on msnbc), there are quite a few third-party sources talking about her such as: http://www.azurepageants.com/Joslyn.htm http://www.tftj.com/db/delegates.htm/783/Miss/2006 http://www.msusaonline.com/miss.php?model_id=833 http://media.www.thegramblinite.com/media/storage/paper926/news/2006/04/12/Focus/Kappas.Next.Top.Model-2665418.shtml http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24425209/ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24425209/ http://www.ebonyfashionfair.com/assembled/history.html http://blogs.louisianasotherside.com/Tarah/post/2008/09/Chimp-Haven-Discovery-Day-Cancelled-Due-To-Ike.aspx and so on.

Some additional discussion there in case you haven't be following it. I agree that, so long as he's stopped performing the edits there's no reason to block, but he seems to be getting the impression that a lack of action is an authorization to continue. As you closed it with "No action taken", I wasn't sure if you'd still be following it or not. — Locke Cole • t • c 03:05, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

The fighting in Nord Kivu is an offensive by Nkunda's troops in the Kivu Conflict, the fighting is not a seperate war from the war Nkunda is fighting in Kivu, it is simply an offensive of that war. Thats why there is a campaignbox for the Kivu conflict and the Nord-Kivu offensive is placed as a subset of it. XavierGreen ( talk) 21:06, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

BotPuppet recently corrected a double redirect on my talk page (which, oddly enough, corrected on of your edits O_o). It corrected the double redirect by replacing the original link with the new link ( see here). This isn’t really a problem as much as it is an observation, but I think it would be better if the bot replaced the link with a pipe instead of all together. This would not interfere with the context of the link, which is esapcailly important in a talk page setting. See my follow up edit to see what I mean. – Zntrip 08:42, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I have no choice but to re-request that they be speedily deleted. The request to restore them is being made by a user with a history of hostility against me and serve no constructive end that could possibly trump not wanting my real world harassers to identify me by my old username. If that was not a concern, I would not have bothered to be renamed as something totally anonymous. Anything of value is still in my current talk page's edit history anyway. It is not right for someone who has acted aggresively against another user to make such requests as restoring stuff that was deleted due to real world concerns. I just want that user to leave me alone already. I have not commented in many deletion discussions since returning. And when I did I made my argument and leave or only reply to those who replied to me. Who replied to who as well as to others at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blah (2nd nomination) or how about to multiple editors at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of SD Gundam G-Generation F mobile suits a discussion for an article I created nonetheless? That user left some bullying rant on my talk page that I'd rather not dignify suggesting that I made a personal attack by calling a nominator in AfD of an article disruptive. Well, laughing at someone else in a discussion is hardly productive/constructive. No reasonable editor could see anything even remote in my most recent AfD comments that could possibly justify an RfC. The only way someone would start such a thing based on these examples of my recent participation could only be doing so out of bias and to again in effect bully someone with whom they obviously disagree. And think about who is trying to make something out of nothing? In most of his recent AfD comments in the past couple of days, he has made four edits in the one for an article I created and made several critiquing me in another one. I didn't comment on his or anyone else's initial "vote." And then there's the talk page rant, and then there's these plastering of my old username on PhilKnight's talk page even though I explicitly state that I do not want my old name bandied about. As you can see if anything others including that individual are being far more confrontational, and disagreeing with someone's arguments is not cause to risk allowing for real world issues to be exacerbated. I would much rather this user just leave me alone already and just ignore me if he doesn't like my arguments. If I can do that, why can't he? If any of my arguments are weak, then let the closing admin decide, but we shouldn't bully people who disagree with us and arrogantly say that just because we disagree they must automatically be disruptive. I think doing incivil things like laughing at others is disruptive, but seriously, citing sources found on Google Books...? Please! As you can see above, I am not commenting on everybody's arguments I disagree with and I certainly am not threatening them with admin boards or making some big effort to restore anything from their userspace that was deleted due to real world harassment issues. I need those pages to remain deleted due to such concerns and no vendetta any individual has against me should possibly trump that. --Happy Thanksgiving! Sincerely, A Nobody My talk 14:28, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
It says "And so begins their Olympic journey...". That seems out of place... And I think it should be replaced by some other paragraph, unless it is bad grammar. I am thinking of editing it, but I don't know if that is out of place (even if I may have the mos knowledge of this article on Wikipedia). So please help!

Your logic is flawed on the deletion of List of Universal Century technology-- no proof has been provided that they are not third party sources. Just because the owners of Gundam sanction it afterwards does not make it a primary source. I insist you explain your line of thought on this, and am here to let you know that this article is most definitely headed for DRV-- all of the Keep arguments were just brushed aside. Moreover, your deletion message in the log itself indicates you speedily deleted it under G6, which is clearly incorrect. The very fact that there was an AFD makes it clear that the deletion was controversial. Jtrainor ( talk) 03:29, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

My Article describing Evidence Illustrated: Cases to Illustrate How All The Rules Work was an important, unbiased resource for law professors planning texts to accompany the courses they teach at law school. Any accountant can pick up a copy of the Internal Revenue Code and simply decide "the words mean what the words mean". That is not what the law is about. If you read my Article, you would know that, and know why so many CPAs are heading to law school.
Yes, to begin with, Prof. Scott's book simply cites and quotes the Federal Rules of Evidence; but it is the precise caselaw and caselaw content that is important to law professors and law students that give the most effect to learning. And, which caselaw demonstrates the application of a certain rule and under what circumstances that rule is applied. This is what is of concern and interest to law professors.
Your pathetic little act did violence to my academic integrity, that of Prof. Scott, and to the reputation of Thomas M. Cooley Law School. Stop interfering with academic freedom--the most antithetical concept and act conceivable against a non-biased, non-commercial source such as Wikipedia--and undelete my Article immediately.
