Hi there, Gb. You said you would review me later of the day of April 13... and it's been about five months now, and there's no review... heh, just kidding. :P But you did wait five months. So anyway, I was hoping for a review now, or whenever you have the time. Thanks, RyRy ( talk) 09:28, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

I did not mean you... -- Vitilsky ( talk) 13:12, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
The wikipedia article Hovhannes Katchaznouni is continuously being vandalized by User:Vitilsky.
The biography of this man, Katchaznouni is already very secretive and it is difficult to find sources, because he was a leader of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (established 1890) and is still active today. Some of the things he wrote in his book were offensive to most Armenian Revolutionary Federation members and still is to this day (because the ARF is still an active political party throughout the world), and in the Armenian elections they usually take the side of the current administration as well as the one of Robert Kocharyan, they helped him to gain power because the previous administration had outlawed the Armenian Revolutionary Federation in Armenia. Now, I am not saying I would ever take sides on the issue of is the ARF good guys or bad guys, I can care less, but I do know that their action of making sure that Hovhannes Katchaznouni's book is never read again.
I'm not trying to promote any propaganda, but people must at least consider his book in the name of objectivity, and trust me, it is not made by Turks or anything, because Turks deny the Armenian Genocide, but in many places in the book Hovhannes Katchaznouni mentions the Armenian Genocide which he referred to as the Armenian Calamity or Armenian Holocaust, because "Genocide" was coined in 1948. So I don't see how Vitilsky can claim the book is revisionist history, it is he who is revising history by removing any trace of this book.
The user User:Vitilsky seems to like vandalizing and edit wars, he has declared Hovhannes Katchaznouni as "anti-ARF"? Even claiming that his book was invented by Turks? It has a lot of details about Armenian politics that no Turk could know about, so I don't see where he is getting his information from. It seems there is a campaign by some to make sure his book is never heard about. I sourced a valid American organization that is active in the United States as my source, and Vitilsky comes right back and reverts my edit, without even considering my source or talking about it in the talk pages.
Vitilsky Vandalized my user page because in my user page I said: "Armenians and Turks which I believe is a tragedy because they are such similar people with similar cultures and backgrounds, and yet some are constantly fighting" ... He changed it to cross out and strike out the "they are such similar people with similar cultures and backgrounds" and wrote "Joke?" in my user page, which leads me to believe he can only be a racist propagandist.

This article is an egregious violation of NPOV. I am particularly concerned about the edits of philscirel ( talk · contribs), whose sole activity on Wikipedia is to monitor this article. What are your recommendations for getting this article back on track? -- Adoniscik( t, c) 17:59, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
I linked to the indictment so people can read about the charges, but he immediately removed it, saying "the claims in the source already proved to be incorrect by the court. do not post incorrect accusations." He does not even want people to know the man got indicted; just search the article for occurrences of the word "indict".
Fortunately, the fawning is so transparent (he's supposedly up there with "Confucius, Plato, Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill, and Jean Paul Sartre") that anyone barely capable of exercising judgement can tell the article is trash. -- Adoniscik( t, c) 19:47, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Gb, I recently got your message. I have been working on the Lateral Link page on the Sandbox in order to put it in as an article on wikipedia. I have read the specifications on inclusion and believe that the company is worthy of an entry. There have been many articles about it, such as in Business Week, the Wall Street Journal,etc. Please let me know what about the article will make it more acceptable for inclusion. I am writing the entry because I believe that the company's unique approach to legal recruiting (that is, no cold calling and giving their clients more control in the recruiting process) is notable and should be written about. But again, please let me know how I can change the article so that it doesn't give the misconception of being spam. I appreciate your note and will be looking forward to your advice.

Hi Gb, I have been working on improving the Lateral Link article. Would it be possible for you to review the article (located in my Sandbox)to make sure that it satisfies the inclusion criteria? Any advice you can provide will be very helpful. I am planning to add the article on the public space very soon and would like to know what changes, if any, I should add.
Also, can you please let me know where I can learn how to add the logo correctly? I have been trying to do so for some time now but it never comes out right.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you about the city of Leeds. I have found a national statistics source showing that the population of the city of leeds is 715,402.

That is the website. It shows the population pyramid for the city of Leeds and shows the total population at near the bottom of the page.

Hey, thanks for your input at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/MortonStalker. Before I go on with it though, I was just wondering about who I nominate. As I said on that page, I'm not really sure who the puppets and puppeteers are, so I'm not sure if I have the right two users. Is it possible to throw out a wider net?

I am sorry. I hadn't expected such a late response. So wasn't keeping track. I was the one who complained about this individual and was surprised to find that you had given the reason as lack of recent edits. I request you to have a second look at those profiles and their contributions. One of the profiles had been active till September 2008 (the last edit coming a couple of weeks before you made your decision) and the others till April-May 2008. It's quite true that the person had not been creating new profiles of late. However, nevertheless, he had been vandalizing from anonymous IPs in the range 122.*.*.*. Please have a look at the edit histories for Iyer and Vadama. The issue has been temporarily resolved by protecting those pages but he would, no doubt, start vandalizing the articles again when the period expires, just as he has been doing for the past one year.

I was
wikifying articles and I noticed that
Gregory J. Harbaugh's page is a copy-and-paste from
NASA's website.
[4] However I also noticed this mesage : This article incorporates
public domain material from websites or documents of the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration.,
and looked at NASA's guidelines [5] which say: ,
"1. You may use NASA imagery, video and audio material if it is for educational or informational purposes, including photo collections, textbooks, public exhibits and Internet Web pages.
4. NASA should be acknowledged as the source of the material. 7. NASA does not indemnify nor hold harmless users of NASA material, nor release such users from copyright infringement, nor grant exclusive use rights with respect to NASA material.
8. NASA material is not protected by copyright unless noted. If copyrighted, permission should be obtained from the copyright owner prior to use. If not copyrighted, NASA material may be reproduced and distributed without further permission from NASA."
Does that mean that as long as NASA is cited, the entire article can be a "copy-and-paste"? -- $user log (Talk) @ 00:50, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Just one more thing; the author of the books themselves died 45 years ago, the author of the illustrations died 2 months ago. Both cannot therefore "give consent". Secondly, the template specifies "with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years or less". Both have died less than 70 years ago.

Thanks for the prompt response. I'm actually considering taking this to WP:ANI as it's an ongoing and escalating case of wikistalking.

Cheers TheRetroGuy ( talk) 20:54, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
I think you should know the background to this. TheRetroGuy took exception to a referenced and sourced section on the Jenny Agutter article. After a request for consensus none was achieved so he took unilateral action and removed. After some edit warring he requested that the article be locked. The talk page has also been locked preventing discussion of the section under dispute. The section is no longer there for it to be discussed. I believe the section should be restored since it satisfied wiki criteria (as pointed out by another admin on the discussion page but who has been ignored!). TheRetroGuy has shown a diregard for wiki policy which included him deleting MY REQUESTS FOR INTERVENTION which resulted in him being banned. He subseqently tried to crat another account while he was banned which resulted in a temporrary ban on his IP address. Wha has happened to teh Jenny Agutter article is unacceptable since it was under dispute and unilateral action has been taken to remove a section of the article. I am going to work through TheRetroGuy's edit history and remove every edit he ever made unless the Jenny Agutter article is sorted out. 189.19.250.9 ( talk) 21:07, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
81.131.45.72 ( talk) 21:22, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Since the dispute over the Jenny Agutter article isn't going to be resolved despite another admin voicing his concerns over the removal of the section on the discussion page (which has been locked so can no longer be discussed) I have no option left but to punish you. I have randomly removed ten of TheRetroGuy's edits from his edit history, and I will continue to do so every day until the dispute over the Jenny Agutter article is resolved by consensus and not by the unilateral censorship of a single editor. It's in your hands now, you're going to have to co-operate with me at some point. I'm not giving over any more substantial time to this, but I can spare 10 minutes a day to make the edits and it will take you guys an awful lot longer to track them down. 200.129.25.26 ( talk) 23:12, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Yo Gb. Thanks for dealing with the Fruit don't talk article. I'm a little confused by the speedy delete (if not the early close of the AfD); Wikipedia:HOAX#Dealing_with_hoaxes says we generally don't speedy delete hoaxes, while your speedy deletion rationale was "patent hoax". Should I have nominated it for CSD rather than AfD? Is there an objective difference between a speedyable hoax and a non-speedyable one?

I re wrote the article being a lot more objective and editing all the content that I thought it sounded like advertising but I want to make sure that this time it´s correct. Is there anything I should do before I uploded on Wikipedia? The article is MB Entertainment Business Group. Thanks a lot for any help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbcorp ( talk • contribs) 00:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, Gb. You said you would review me later of the day of April 13... and it's been about five months now, and there's no review... heh, just kidding. :P But you did wait five months.

I did not mean you... -- Vitilsky ( talk) 13:12, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
The wikipedia article Hovhannes Katchaznouni is continuously being vandalized by User:Vitilsky.
The biography of this man, Katchaznouni is already very secretive and it is difficult to find sources, because he was a leader of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (established 1890) and is still active today. Some of the things he wrote in his book were offensive to most Armenian Revolutionary Federation members and still is to this day (because the ARF is still an active political party throughout the world), and in the Armenian elections they usually take the side of the current administration as well as the one of Robert Kocharyan, they helped him to gain power because the previous administration had outlawed the Armenian Revolutionary Federation in Armenia. Now, I am not saying I would ever take sides on the issue of is the ARF good guys or bad guys, I can care less, but I do know that their action of making sure that Hovhannes Katchaznouni's book is never read again.
I'm not trying to promote any propaganda, but people must at least consider his book in the name of objectivity, and trust me, it is not made by Turks or anything, because Turks deny the Armenian Genocide, but in many places in the book Hovhannes Katchaznouni mentions the Armenian Genocide which he referred to as the Armenian Calamity or Armenian Holocaust, because "Genocide" was coined in 1948. So I don't see how Vitilsky can claim the book is revisionist history, it is he who is revising history by removing any trace of this book.
The user User:Vitilsky seems to like vandalizing and edit wars, he has declared Hovhannes Katchaznouni as "anti-ARF"? Even claiming that his book was invented by Turks? It has a lot of details about Armenian politics that no Turk could know about, so I don't see where he is getting his information from. It seems there is a campaign by some to make sure his book is never heard about. I sourced a valid American organization that is active in the United States as my source, and Vitilsky comes right back and reverts my edit, without even considering my source or talking about it in the talk pages.
Vitilsky Vandalized my user page because in my user page I said: "Armenians and Turks which I believe is a tragedy because they are such similar people with similar cultures and backgrounds, and yet some are constantly fighting" ... He changed it to cross out and strike out the "they are such similar people with similar cultures and backgrounds" and wrote "Joke?" in my user page, which leads me to believe he can only be a racist propagandist.

What are your recommendations for getting this article back on track? -- Adoniscik( t, c) 17:59, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
I linked to the indictment so people can read about the charges, but he immediately removed it, saying "the claims in the source already proved to be incorrect by the court. do not post incorrect accusations." He does not even want people to know the man got indicted; just search the article for occurrences of the word "indict".
Fortunately, the fawning is so transparent (he's supposedly up there with "Confucius, Plato, Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill, and Jean Paul Sartre") that anyone barely capable of exercising judgement can tell the article is trash. -- Adoniscik( t, c) 19:47, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Gb, I recently got your message. I have been working on the Lateral Link page on the Sandbox in order to put it in as an article on wikipedia. I have read the specifications on inclusion and believe that the company is worthy of an entry. There have been many articles about it, such as in Business Week, the Wall Street Journal,etc. Please let me know what about the article will make it more acceptable for inclusion. I am writing the entry because I believe that the company's unique approach to legal recruiting (that is, no cold calling and giving their clients more control in the recruiting process) is notable and should be written about. But again, please let me know how I can change the article so that it doesn't give the misconception of being spam. I appreciate your note and will be looking forward to your advice.

I am sorry. I hadn't expected such a late response. So wasn't keeping track. I was the one who complained about this individual and was surprised to find that you had given the reason as lack of recent edits. I request you to have a second look at those profiles and their contributions. One of the profiles had been active till September 2008 (the last edit coming a couple of weeks before you made your decision) and the others till April-May 2008. It's quite true that the person had not been creating new profiles of late. However, nevertheless, he had been vandalizing from anonymous IPs in the range 122.*.*.*. Please have a look at the edit histories for Iyer and Vadama. The issue has been temporarily resolved by protecting those pages but he would, no doubt, start vandalizing the articles again when the period expires, just as he has been doing for the past one year.

Gregory J. Harbaugh's page is a copy-and-paste from
NASA's website.
[4] However I also noticed this mesage : This article incorporates
public domain material from websites or documents of the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration.,
and looked at NASA's guidelines [5] which say: ,
"1. You may use NASA imagery, video and audio material if it is for educational or informational purposes, including photo collections, textbooks, public exhibits and Internet Web pages.
4. NASA should be acknowledged as the source of the material. 7. NASA does not indemnify nor hold harmless users of NASA material, nor release such users from copyright infringement, nor grant exclusive use rights with respect to NASA material.
8. NASA material is not protected by copyright unless noted. If copyrighted, permission should be obtained from the copyright owner prior to use. If not copyrighted, NASA material may be reproduced and distributed without further permission from NASA."
Does that mean that as long as NASA is cited, the entire article can be a "copy-and-paste"? -- $user log (Talk) @ 00:50, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Just one more thing; the author of the books themselves died 45 years ago, the author of the illustrations died 2 months ago. Both cannot therefore "give consent". Secondly, the template specifies "with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years or less". Both have died less than 70 years ago.

Thanks for the prompt response. I'm actually considering taking this to WP:ANI as it's an ongoing and escalating case of wikistalking.

Cheers TheRetroGuy ( talk) 20:54, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
I think you should know the background to this. TheRetroGuy took exception to a referenced and sourced section on the Jenny Agutter article. After a request for consensus none was achieved so he took unilateral action and removed. After some edit warring he requested that the article be locked. The talk page has also been locked preventing discussion of the section under dispute. The section is no longer there for it to be discussed. I believe the section should be restored since it satisfied wiki criteria (as pointed out by another admin on the discussion page but who has been ignored!). TheRetroGuy has shown a diregard for wiki policy which included him deleting MY REQUESTS FOR INTERVENTION which resulted in him being banned. He subseqently tried to crat another account while he was banned which resulted in a temporrary ban on his IP address. Wha has happened to teh Jenny Agutter article is unacceptable since it was under dispute and unilateral action has been taken to remove a section of the article. I am going to work through TheRetroGuy's edit history and remove every edit he ever made unless the Jenny Agutter article is sorted out. 189.19.250.9 ( talk) 21:07, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Since the dispute over the Jenny Agutter article isn't going to be resolved despite another admin voicing his concerns over the removal of the section on the discussion page (which has been locked so can no longer be discussed) I have no option left but to punish you. I have randomly removed ten of TheRetroGuy's edits from his edit history, and I will continue to do so every day until the dispute over the Jenny Agutter article is resolved by consensus and not by the unilateral censorship of a single editor. It's in your hands now, you're going to have to co-operate with me at some point. I'm not giving over any more substantial time to this, but I can spare 10 minutes a day to make the edits and it will take you guys an awful lot longer to track them down. 200.129.25.26 ( talk) 23:12, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Yo Gb. Thanks for dealing with the Fruit don't talk article. I'm a little confused by the speedy delete (if not the early close of the AfD); Wikipedia:HOAX#Dealing_with_hoaxes says we generally don't speedy delete hoaxes, while your speedy deletion rationale was "patent hoax". Should I have nominated it for CSD rather than AfD? Is there an objective difference between a speedyable hoax and a non-speedyable one? There seems to be a gap between theory and practice here, and I'm wondering if you could enlighten me. Sincerely, the skomorokh 03:11, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I wrote an article about a small record label and it was deleted by you. I do not disagree on why it was deleted, but I would really like to have this article on Wikipedia. I re wrote the article being a lot more objective and editing all the content that I thought it sounded like advertising but I want to make sure that this time it´s correct. Is there anything I should do before I uploded on Wikipedia? The article is MB Entertainment Business Group. Thanks a lot for any help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbcorp ( talk • contribs) 00:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
