Hello,
I just reverted the change you made on John A. Nejedly. You removed this link from the References section and flagged it as a spamlink, but I think you may have done that in error. The link is to a website that archives election histories for California, and this would seem to be a reasonable link/reference for a biography on a dead politician from California. If there was some other reason for your edit that I missed, please let me know. Thanks, Spicoli 08:06, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Yuser, when relisting AFDs, please remember to de-list from the original log page [1]. Thanks! -- Quarl ( talk) 2007-02-11 11:09Z
Hi Yuser, I'm here to comment on your AFD actions again. I'm glad that you're trying to get your feet wet in preparation for asking for adminship again, but please, be conservative. For example, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/OttoBib.com, you closed the AFD even though there were no comments after another admin had re-listed. That means another admin felt there was not enough for consensus, and nothing had changed yet. By closing it, you were going over an admin's head. The right thing to do in this case would have been to re-list again. You might think it pointless if you expect the same thing to happen again, but in fact AFD participation is highly variable and usually even if a first re-list request generated no additional comments, a second one will (participation depends on day of week, time of day, who's active, etc.). Also, you had to write a long statement supporting your closure result, with your own opinions and using words like "probably" -- that means it wasn't an obvious closure. In general, before you get your adminship you should only close AFDs that are extremely obvious and uncontroversial. One keep, 1 weak keep, 1 delete, 1 neutral is not "extremely obvious" and the fact that W.marsh had re-listed it is a big hint that more input is needed. I'm not going to take any action on this but please remember to be conservative. There are lots of "pure keep" uncontroversial AFDs that you can close if you want. Thanks. -- Quarl ( talk) 2007-02-11 12:01Z

Hi,
I recently encountered an autobiographical article ( Carla Hughes Lieblein). Since the subject most likely does not qualify as notable ( CSD A7), I tagged it for speedy deletion and placed a notice on the creator's talk page. However, the user removed the tag so I reverted that edit, and then I placed a level 1 warning on their talk page. This time, the user contested the speedy deletion using {{hangon}}, but did not provide a reason.
Since this is my first time dealing with such things, I don't know if my course of action was appropriate. What should I do when dealing with an editor that doesn't have a knowledge of wikipedia policies? Thanks! + A.Ou 03:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I would have liked en:User:CroDome to make such changes, rather than having another user make them for him. This ( diff) runs the risk of envoking anger in the user and putting him on the defensive. Your changes were made a full half-hour after my contribution ( diff) to the user's talk page, giving you plenty of time to see the recent additions.
Please, in the future, take into account if the user made their userpage recently (usually meaning they are inexperienced/new users) and if other users have notified them of changes that need to be made. I prefer to give all Wikipedia editors the chance to make their own changes (with regard to such things as userpages) once they have been notified, rather than other users imposing such changes on them because this gives them a chance to learn and become better contributors. Cheers, Stop The Lies 04:05, 12 February 2007 (UTC) Stop_The_Lies

I am a bit concerned about this: [2]. Though I personally think the article/disambig is fine, and agree that the result would *most likely* be "keep", it just seems like bad form to close an AfD after only four hours and only three comments. I don't think any damage would be done to the Wiki by being a bit more patient. ~ Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦ ♫ 06:06, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Good, now maybe you should also check the number of articles which were successfully locked because of the edit wars Dacy69 and Adil have engaged in. Adding in every given Armenian related articles "terrorist this" or "terrorist that" or obsessivally edit warring resulting in multiple locking of articles, is much more than some isolate cases of answers. What should an Azeri editor feel or even answer, if I were to type "Azererbaijan", "Azerbaijani", "Azeri",... on Wikipedia search engine, to then one by one throwing edits and then with socks meatpopputs reverting and reverting until the articles are locked, and then after a week of it being locked, after it was expired, engaging in and off again? The only thing those users could find as miscundict from my part is abrasiveness. But article content; I was never blocked for article disruption, 3RR etc., or anything content based. The same could not be said with those peatpopputs. Fad (ix) 22:42, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for keeping an eye on this wonderful site. This is my first edit, so I can see that you would be suspicious. However, I was not adding a commercial link, www.petfinder.com is the largest non-profit pet adoption website in the USA. I am an animal rescuer myself, and have a great deal of experience in the field.
Thanks for your edit. Please let me know how I can contribute my knowledge of animal rescue properly. I would still like to add the petfinder website, it has helped place literally millions of homeless animals in the past 10 years. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hsong ( talk • contribs) 01:52, 14 February 2007 (UTC).

Its stated in the Min V's programming software help file that the pager is manufactured by Unication.
interested to know why you reverted changes on article for rob bell. I just added a couple lines about him using yoga in his church and his views on christianity as an eastern religion and the fact that some evangelical christians take issue with the views put forward in his book Velvet Elvis. this is not promotional. another user seems to think that the words 'eastern' and 'yoga' are inflammatory but this is hardly the case. 70.188.25.24 03:36, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Regarding Yoga, I cited a published Christianity Today article and regarding the concerns some Christians have with Velvet Elvis I cited a published article by a respected Christian pastor. Are those considered adequate? Thanks for your input. 70.188.25.24 04:03, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
I think this was a good call, even though it won't stick.
On another note, you asked me sometime back for an editor review. While I don't really "believe" in them because I view them as primarily a means of grooming RfA candidates--a practice I find unconstructive--I will say that I think your observations and comments in discussions have become much better formed and more relevant than a few months ago. If I saw some evidence of more participation in article creation, I would offer to nominate you for adminship. Maybe in a couple of months, but I really feel that, with some specific exceptions, an admin should have experience really creating some content here before they get to rule on its fate in XfD discussions. So there's your editor review in a nutshell. -- Doug Bell talk 06:15, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Yuser.
In short, why have you reverted a change on my talk page, removing that way CroDome's message to me?
If that user's behaviour turns into spamming with rubbish contributions on my talk page, your help 'd be welcomed.
I'll talk with CroDome on his talkpage, and try to calm things down, if possible.
Maybe he reacts too passionately, I don't know, I haven't seen his contributions.
But many times I've seen on en.wiki that certain users spread blatant Greater Serbian propaganda. And instead of punishing those users, admins are reacting like cowboys when some users remove that propagandist crap.

As the editor in question has never even been issued a block, I don't think there is a realistic chance they would actually be banned. While I see incivility and some strong POV pushing, I don't see anything that would warrent a ban. Bans are pretty last resort.-- Isotope23 20:47, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
You said you listen to everybody (so it says above). I am trying to resolve the situation, soon i will find some information on boxinwear and george reeves, i am certain boxinwear tried to help reeves, check his contributions, there is no vandalism. But it's not wise for people to block boxinwear talk page
How can you ever reply? Did you notice some people here like antranadus have personal agenda against reeves and they are goign at it for 2 years now. Those 2 hate each other a lot. You guys are blocking all the ip's it's impossible to log on without open proxy and leave a message, all public libraries on the border of illinois, michigan, wisconsin, blocked. Nobody can edit, great. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:BoxingWear&diff=106112466&oldid=106111953 Some of the comments. I am waiting for additional evidence before I resolve this sitation. I am aware (certain administrator gave me all the information i need, but you will never find out who that is) of your secret talks, hidden pages and so on, i believe both boxinwear and reeves have not been treated right, but this is what happens, you try to help somebody, you get into hot waters. Amazing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Chick_Bowen#BoxingWear This link should not be seen by boxinwear or reeves since it creates controversy, connecting one individual with another, especially from people who have personal vandetta against somebody is not healthy nor correct. Boxinwear's contributions speak for themselves, there are times he warned others not to vandalize pages. He was blocked because he argued with certain individual who had tons of time on his hands, when you do not have the luxury of time, if something takes up your time, of course you will react in a negative way, but reacting to some people in a negative way is the only way out. But, read what I sent you well. Also reopen boxinwear talk page, reverse to the link. This goes to show you, when wiki is wrong, they do not want to admit it, easy way to block somebody. Imagine during a trial judge gives his decision based on the testimonony of one individual, shame on you. On boxinwear talk page you can find a lot, also leave a message there so somebody replies. But I wonder if you will, under pressure from administrators who should not be administrators. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.111.53.18 ( talk • contribs) 23:00-02, 7 February 2007

They accuse me of lack of knowledge ("Read the history Fadix showed you and stop playing dumb") (before they called me stupid, now it seems they refined the language). Fadix was reported several times by other users - no action taken against him. I reported him once to admin User talk:Dmcdevit (and got blocked instead :-)). I did it again.

Since this is my first time dealing with such things, I don't know if my course of action was appropriate. What should I do when dealing with an editor that doesn't have a knowledge of wikipedia policies? Thanks! + A.Ou 03:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Pardon my question, but is this actually an appropriate method of editing? It seems wrong. Arcayne 10:17, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I would have liked en:User:CroDome to make such changes, rather than having another user make them for him. This ( diff) runs the risk of envoking anger in the user and putting him on the defensive. Your changes were made a full half-hour after my contribution ( diff) to the user's talk page, giving you plenty of time to see the recent additions.
Please, in the future, take into account if the user made their userpage recently (usually meaning they are inexperienced/new users) and if other users have notified them of changes that need to be made. I prefer to give all Wikipedia editors the chance to make their own changes (with regard to such things as userpages) once they have been notified, rather than other users imposing such changes on them because this gives them a chance to learn and become better contributors. Cheers, Stop The Lies 04:05, 12 February 2007 (UTC) Stop_The_Lies
Thank you for reverting my talk page & posting a final warning on CroDome's talk page. I was going to do so myself, but then saw that you had already done so. Stop The Lies 00:08, 14 February 2007 (UTC)Stop_The_Lies
Currently, there is no binding method to resolve disputes aside from Arbcom. In Arbcom, generally at least one party will be sanctioned. Arbcab is meant to take care of minor disputes where mediation isn't an option. It will be designed to be like a binding third opinion. G e o. Talk to me 05:20, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Can you please explain to me which article you are referring to on my talk page. Thanks. Famico666 16:54, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
I lefted a comment about this anon. IP that began blanking the tagged sockpuppet userpages of User:Recoome's confirmed puppets on Deskana's talk page. I even opened a Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Recoome just to confirm that he's doing it. Power level (Dragon Ball) 18:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi: You offered to help mediate as a qualified third at Talk:Zodiac killer#Request_for_Comment:_Link_placement_in_Zodic_killer_entry. I would greatly appreciate it if you could visit there and offer your advice. Thanks. Labyrinth13 19:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello, my name is Avdo. I would like to thank you for helping out with the CroDome problem, and I'm glad that there are good and neutral users like you on Wikipedia. I wish you all the best -- GOD OF JUSTICE 20:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

For the excellence in neutrality and editing style. Your very concise editing style is a great example to us all. -- GOD OF JUSTICE 20:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC) |
I DONT understand. Why am I discriminized? Because I'm a Croat, right? Serbs must've told you a lot about us, how we are a "Ustashas and demons on erth", when you're not warning other users like User:Alkalada and User:Ancient Land of Bosoni, both riddled with Islamic fundamentalist BS => just look at it; full of hatred towards Croats and Serbs, and I was only telling the truth and yet my page was deleated BECAUSE OF THAT???

I am a bit concerned about this: [2]. Though I personally think the article/disambig is fine, and agree that the result would *most likely* be "keep", it just seems like bad form to close an AfD after only four hours and only three comments. I don't think any damage would be done to the Wiki by being a bit more patient. ~ Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦ ♫ 06:06, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
If have the time go to my user page and see what the game is. Sam ov the blue sand 21:57, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Good, now maybe you should also check the number of articles which were successfully locked because of the edit wars Dacy69 and Adil have engaged in. Adding in every given Armenian related articles "terrorist this" or "terrorist that" or obsessivally edit warring resulting in multiple locking of articles, is much more than some isolate cases of answers. What should an Azeri editor feel or even answer, if I were to type "Azererbaijan", "Azerbaijani", "Azeri",... on Wikipedia search engine, to then one by one throwing edits and then with socks meatpopputs reverting and reverting until the articles are locked, and then after a week of it being locked, after it was expired, engaging in and off again? The only thing those users could find as miscundict from my part is abrasiveness. But article content; I was never blocked for article disruption, 3RR etc., or anything content based. The same could not be said with those peatpopputs. Fad (ix) 22:42, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support in my request for adminship which closed successfully last night. Feel free to let me know if I can help you with something or if I have made a mistake. I would also like to encourage you to vote often (just in case you don't) on other candidates since we need more admins. Happy editing, Garion96 (talk) 00:08, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for keeping an eye on this wonderful site. This is my first edit, so I can see that you would be suspicious. However, I was not adding a commercial link, www.petfinder.com is the largest non-profit pet adoption website in the USA. I am an animal rescuer myself, and have a great deal of experience in the field.
Thanks for your edit. Please let me know how I can contribute my knowledge of animal rescue properly. I would still like to add the petfinder website, it has helped place literally millions of homeless animals in the past 10 years. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hsong ( talk • contribs) 01:52, 14 February 2007 (UTC).
I do have some navigating difficulties that may slip passed some more apropriate routes as a new user. Encyclopedia look to page is important to appeal & to my efforts. A simple "reply here" idea, is something I look for that doesn't really exist here.
In time I will get used to that. Thanks again -- Ob Unum Verse Re 02:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC) -- EPLU RIB USU NUM VERSE 01:55, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Its stated in the Min V's programming software help file that the pager is manufactured by Unication.
interested to know why you reverted changes on article for rob bell. I just added a couple lines about him using yoga in his church and his views on christianity as an eastern religion and the fact that some evangelical christians take issue with the views put forward in his book Velvet Elvis. this is not promotional. another user seems to think that the words 'eastern' and 'yoga' are inflammatory but this is hardly the case. 70.188.25.24 03:36, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Regarding Yoga, I cited a published Christianity Today article and regarding the concerns some Christians have with Velvet Elvis I cited a published article by a respected Christian pastor. Are those considered adequate? Thanks for your input. 70.188.25.24 04:03, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
I think this was a good call, even though it won't stick.
On another note, you asked me sometime back for an editor review. While I don't really "believe" in them because I view them as primarily a means of grooming RfA candidates--a practice I find unconstructive--I will say that I think your observations and comments in discussions have become much better formed and more relevant than a few months ago. If I saw some evidence of more participation in article creation, I would offer to nominate you for adminship. Maybe in a couple of months, but I really feel that, with some specific exceptions, an admin should have experience really creating some content here before they get to rule on its fate in XfD discussions. So there's your editor review in a nutshell. -- Doug Bell talk 06:15, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Yuser.
In short, why have you reverted a change on my talk page, removing that way CroDome's message to me?
If that user's behaviour turns into spamming with rubbish contributions on my talk page, your help 'd be welcomed.
I'll talk with CroDome on his talkpage, and try to calm things down, if possible.
Maybe he reacts too passionately, I don't know, I haven't seen his contributions.
But many times I've seen on en.wiki that certain users spread blatant Greater Serbian propaganda. And instead of punishing those users, admins are reacting like cowboys when some users remove that propagandist crap.
Kubura 09:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
do you have something against me just because Im Croat? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CroDome ( talk • contribs) 21:16, 14 February 2007 (UTC).
As the editor in question has never even been issued a block, I don't think there is a realistic chance they would actually be banned. While I see incivility and some strong POV pushing, I don't see anything that would warrent a ban. Bans are pretty last resort.-- Isotope23 20:47, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
You said you listen to everybody (so it says above). I am trying to resolve the situation, soon i will find some information on boxinwear and george reeves, i am certain boxinwear tried to help reeves, check his contributions, there is no vandalism. But it's not wise for people to block boxinwear talk page
How can you ever reply? Did you notice some people here like antranadus have personal agenda against reeves and they are goign at it for 2 years now. Those 2 hate each other a lot. You guys are blocking all the ip's it's impossible to log on without open proxy and leave a message, all public libraries on the border of illinois, michigan, wisconsin, blocked. Nobody can edit, great. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:BoxingWear&diff=106112466&oldid=106111953 Some of the comments. I am waiting for additional evidence before I resolve this sitation. I am aware (certain administrator gave me all the information i need, but you will never find out who that is) of your secret talks, hidden pages and so on, i believe both boxinwear and reeves have not been treated right, but this is what happens, you try to help somebody, you get into hot waters. Amazing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Chick_Bowen#BoxingWear This link should not be seen by boxinwear or reeves since it creates controversy, connecting one individual with another, especially from people who have personal vandetta against somebody is not healthy nor correct. Boxinwear's contributions speak for themselves, there are times he warned others not to vandalize pages. He was blocked because he argued with certain individual who had tons of time on his hands, when you do not have the luxury of time, if something takes up your time, of course you will react in a negative way, but reacting to some people in a negative way is the only way out. But, read what I sent you well. Also reopen boxinwear talk page, reverse to the link. This goes to show you, when wiki is wrong, they do not want to admit it, easy way to block somebody. Imagine during a trial judge gives his decision based on the testimonony of one individual, shame on you. On boxinwear talk page you can find a lot, also leave a message there so somebody replies. But I wonder if you will, under pressure from administrators who should not be administrators. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.111.53.18 ( talk • contribs) 23:00-02, 7 February 2007
Thank you for removing the vandalism warning. I just would like Wbrz to discuss the edit instead of just reverting me and calling my edits vandalism. Corvus cornix 23:43, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting my RfA. It was successful at a unanimous 52/0/0. I hope I can live up to the kind words expressed of me there, and hope to now be more of an asset to the community with access to the tools.

Insults and threats are continued [3] Fadix threatens with edit revenge ("Anyway, you've got interested me in contributing on Heider Aliev article. Which I will be doing as soon as possible. Fad (ix) 05:37, 16 February 2007 (UTC)") Another user Fedayee also embarked on assaults - his language is also self-explanatory. They accuse me of lack of knowledge ("Read the history Fadix showed you and stop playing dumb") (before they called me stupid, now it seems they refined the language). Fadix was reported several times by other users - no action taken against him. I reported him once to admin User talk:Dmcdevit (and got blocked instead :-)). I did it again. Maybe this time it is more evident - I mean Fadix attitude. In the meantime, I'd ask you kindly to watch this case as well.-- Dacy69 22:20, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I was wondering if you (I can't find anyone who wants to be accepted) would like to be nominated for adminship. I'mgoing to be away from Monday to Friday, so if you accept, I'll nominate you tomorrow or after I come back. Thanks, Jorcoga ( Hi!/ Review)11:34, Saturday, 17 February '07
I'll second that. I think Yuser31415 will make a fine admin either now or in March!. Has my support-- Hu12 23:52, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I'll nominate you then. Jorcoga ( Hi!/ Review)09:14, Sunday, 18 February '07

Yuser, the Jimbo quote really shouldn't be there. Time reference wise that quote is a bit out of place now...his comments were referring to the original version of this new section. I would recommend you revert it out. Thanks. ( → Netscott) 00:00, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm not clear what you mean by "need for adminship not asserted". This is my first RFA so I don't know if I stated the need correctly. I said "I can be helpful at 3RR, AIV, RFPP, CSD ANI and deletion debate closures." Did I state it wrong? Regards, Navou banter / contribs 00:27, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
