hi, to make your case you should say to him that you ask him to revert his last edits that violated the 3rr and give him the chance to revert, then if he doesn't at least you made the offer to him. Off2riorob ( talk) 22:33, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Malke, presently, if you missed it, I am recovering from having my good name, or not good name... dragged through the muddy waters of ANI, please don't comment there as the report had lost its legs.

Aw, thanks, you too. This article is also a bit comparable, It clearly would be good to read the WP:EL article. Off2riorob ( talk) 20:35, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
Here is the checklinks tool for Rove, you can use it for checking the links on any article, just change the name in the box at the top, anything red is broken and needs looking at, perhaps repairing with the internet wayback machine, google it, its a tool for repairing links to past versions of the page that are sometimes archived on the web, and anything with connection issues it inneed of checking, blue is OK, ask me if you want to know anything.

Well the "General Fixes" part is done by WP:AWB but it is currently hamstrung because someone doesn't like that it gives references names. The other specific part is dating tags such as {{ Citation missing}} - this puts the articles into dated categories, to help with cleanup. To find out more about robots see WP:BOT. Rich Farmbrough, 15:21, 30 November 2009 (UTC).
Copy from talk page:
Excuse me, but I did not "simply revert". I moved the content to the appropriate main body article section. The lead section of an article should not contain content that is not already included in the article itself. Per WP:LEAD: The lead serves both as an introduction to the article and as a summary of the important aspects of the subject of the article. I also corrected citation format style rather than the blank links with no appropriate identification, title, date, publication or author. Yeah, you're right, it does take a lot of work. It takes even more work to correct errors in citation addition, verify citations, some of which did not, in any way, support what you said it did and for which I had to find proper sourcing. Let me remind you this is designated a good article and thus, the style, citations and content that you added does not pass good article muster. The rest of the content you added to the lead isn't at all supported by a stark link to the Writer's Guild, which, when his name is searched, states simply "Sorry, this member has chosen not to publish any details." This content would not go in the lead unless it is already contained in the article. I note also that you were told here that the content should go in the personal life section, which is not where you put it. When you make an addition to an article and click save, it is no longer your addition. At the bottom, below the edit window, in tiny letters, it says "If you do not want your writing to be edited, used, and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I did not simply revert your addition, I moved it and cleaned it up. Please be so good as to return to the personal life section the cleaned up content regarding the marathon and remove the unverified content you added to the lead. Otherwise, in this case, I will simply revert it. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 21:13, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

NPOV means no point of view, which is good in articles. POV, or point of view, is bad in articles. I hope this cleared the usage up as well. Abce2| Free lemonade only 25 cents! 18:41, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Please ask any questions related to your adoption here. Make sure you understand how the adoption process works though. For example, I am only a guide. Your actions are your own. If you, say, vandalise, you can't use me as a shield, even if I told you to do it, because you had the choice not to.

How do you deal with them? Because I'm noticing that you're deleting an awful lot of comments, like this and a few on my talk page. Are you just copy-pasting the entire bottom window to the top window? If you are, you need to just paste what you added into the top window. Otherwise, you'll get slapped with a large soggy fish. -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 03:02, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
I don't go looking for these things for just anybody. Here is Aldous' complete quote and I want you to recite it three times a day until you've started to say, "Blocks? What blocks? I don't have any blocks." Here it is: If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean. God, I love Aldous. Malke 2010 17:36, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

You are allowed to do many things in edit summaries, but lying is not one of them.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 23:19, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Alright, first, I'll start by stating things in a summary, then I'll explicitly cite and explain:
First of all, I stated that Mal is not allowed to lie in edit summaries. You then come on the page defending Mal, saying that she can remove posts and other things. I correct you, saying that she cannot do specific things, and again refer to my above statement. You fail to listen and again put words in my mouth.
I stated, to Mal, that she is not allowed to Lie in edit summaries, as she did here. You come defending her, stating that she can do whatever she wants with messages on it, citing WP:UP. I clarify to you, that she can not indeed do anything she wants with any messages. I state what she cannot do with messages. I do not state that she perpetrated any of the described acts. Further, I never stated that she was not allowed to remove messages. You then quote policy at me again, putting words in my mouth again while calling me blind, citing WP:CIVIL(talk about double standards). I tell you to make sure you've read my entire post, because it was quite obvious you weren't reading it, otherwise the aforementioned points would be obvious to you. You wrongly state that you have read the post, even telling me that I didn't back up my accusation(even though I quite clearly did, when I cited her lying in an edit). I express rightful disbelief at your fallacy of having read my post, per my points above. Therefore, I stand by my statement that you have not read my post. You are quite obviously assuming and reading into my posts, instead of reading them explicitly, as I have asked of you. So again. Read my post, please, before responding any further.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 01:57, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Oh, and for more shits and giggles, do tell how I am harassing you beyond the pale, when I was indeed not even talking with you, but another user.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 02:33, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on User talk:Coldplay Expert. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Slandering me on another user's talk page? Are you serious? His arguments were in no way well-reasoned; I indeed have to ask if you even bothered to read mine. He falsely asserted that I said something which I did not. You want me to leave you alone? Stop insulting me behind my back. — Dæ dαlus Contribs 02:39, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

I warned Daed and this is your warning. Don't continue this here or on any other pages (except WP:WQA, as livie said). WP:NOTTHEM applies- it takes two to tango, and you're not blameless. Okay? tedder ( talk) 05:08, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Unless you plan on using a dispute resolution process in the very short term, please remove the above section labeled "stuff", per guideline 10 on WP:UP#NOT: "Material that can be viewed as attacking other editors, including the recording of perceived flaws. The compilation of factual evidence (diffs) in user subpages, for purposes such as preparing for a dispute resolution process, is permitted provided the dispute resolution process is started in a timely manner. Users should not maintain in public view negative information on others without very good reason."
Even if you do plan on going to some WP:DR process soon, I'd strongly recommend putting those in your browser bookmarks and removing them from Wikipedia. tedder ( talk) 06:46, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

You asked about talkback on Thejadefalcon's page asking about talkback. The talkback is a convenient thing that alerts the user that they have a message for them on a talk page. The talk back template is used when the user places a reply on beneath the last message. Then the user places the template on the other user's talk page, alerting them of a message on the user's page. The real convience is that you don't have to check you watch list every single second(you know what I mean).

In this edit, your change included deleting a footnote that looked like this:
and replacing it with this:
If you don't understand why that was a mistake, please see link rot. In the future, you should avoid adding naked url footnotes to articles.
Also, in the edit above, what you did resulted in four different footnote numbers (all being naked urls), even though the source is exactly the same. Repeating the same citation in multiple places is highly undesirable. Wikipedia has the "name=" option for footnotes to avoid this problem, and I used that option to fix this error, in an edit I did previous to the one we're discussing here - a change that you apparently didn't understand, since you didn't keep my change. Please see this guideline for more details. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 19:26, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi Malke 2010, it appears an editor with a personal conflict apparently tried to rewrite several sections of the article. I'm happy he was very honest about his intentions, but sad to see the only way of getting his attention was by locking down the page. Unfortunately, the editor doesn't seem to be responding very well to overtures of collaboration. This will probably resume once the page is unlocked, sadly. Hope not.-- Happysomeone ( talk) 02:11, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I reverted your edits on 2009 flu pandemic. One edit broke the template for the data. The other (adding "Swine flu" to the lead sentence) contradicts the title of the article. However, to your point of clarity that same sentence does mention that the N1H1 flu is also known as "the swine flu" so the information is still there. SQGibbon ( talk) 07:53, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi there,
The bot is not archiving every two days, despite multiple interventions (see threads above). Is it possible that the clock is blocking the bot? I'm not tech savvy but I can see when something's not working. Thanks. Malke 2010 22:17, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
Maybe! I've changed it to the following...
{{User:MiszaBot/config |archiveheader = {{atnhead}} |maxarchivesize = 200K |counter = 1 |minthreadsleft = 2 |minthreadstoarchive = 1 |algo = old(2d) |archive = User talk:Malke 2010/Archive %(counter)d }}
I've added the number to the "counter" field, you are on Archive 1, so 1 is correct, when the "maxarchive" size gets to 200K as you set, then the bot will change the counter to 2, and start Archive 2. I changed "minthreadsleft" to 2, that means that the page will never be blank, just have the last 2 threads showing. Also changed "minthreadstoarchive" to 1, so that means that the bot should archive as soon as the thread is old enough, and not wait until several threads are ready. Note that I also added a new line to separate this template from the next one (AutoArchivingNotice) as you had }}{{ - no separation between the end of one and the start of the other.
Just to compare here is mine copied from my talk page - Note that now there is not much difference, I use the default header (it defaults to {{
Talkarchive}} if not specified), so I don't use the "archiveheader" parameter. I do note that {{
atnhead}} is now a redirect to {{
Talkarchivenav}}, so it it still don't work try altering or deleting that line.
{{User:MiszaBot/config |maxarchivesize = 125K |counter = 4 |minthreadsleft = 3 |minthreadstoarchive = 2 |algo = old(14d) |archive = User talk:Ronhjones/Archive %(counter)d }}
Hopefully it might now work. User:MiszaBot III does the user talk pages, you can always check the contributions to see if it's working. Ronhjones (Talk) 19:45, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
I think term limits make a lot of sense and would increase accountability of admins. Since postulating the idea, I have seen threads discussing it with the 'opposers' making arguments against concerning logistics and it leading to a shortage of admins. Overall however, I think a reconfirmation process would be an overall good thing. What do you have in mind? J04n( talk page) 11:04, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
Work on it at User:Malke 2010/Admin term limits. Take your time, I wouldn't propose it until after the community de-adminship RFC is finished. Look over the previous thread and try to address all of the reasons that folks opposed it. You should also look at WP:AMR and Wikipedia:PERENNIAL#Reconfirm administrators.

Hi there and thanks for the message. For some time I have been on the verge of giving up with that article...it's too much like banging my head against a brick wall. I'm an editor here because I want to improve Wikipedia: I don't have any particular interest in that article, other to make it better, and if I don't seem able to do that, I'll use my time on a different article.

It really needs a few more experienced editors to be involved. Cheers. Bluewave ( talk) 09:23, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Malke: You have made numerous claims about me to an administrator and on my talk page. The gist of your discussion seems to be to try to get me banned or blocked or in trouble somehow. You have accused me of engaging in an edit war, you have told me that I should stop editing on the Kercher article, you have accused me of not using good sources, you have accused me of being somehow connected with the case, of editing POV, and on and on. I do not even know where you came from. You have not been involved with this Kercher article, while I have put many hours into this. You just show up and start making accusations against me. This all starts after you and Bluewave seem to agree to help each other with this article or against me on his or your talk pages. What is going on is harassment and it is very upsetting.

I am requesting that you make no edits to Irish American as it is up for mediation. Please sign on the mediation page to say that you will not edit the article (even if you don't, I will take any edits to WP:RPP). If you see content that you wish to have changed, feel free to put it on my talk page or email me. (I am the current Mediator for this request) -- / MWOAP| Notify Me\ 22:03, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
I started a good faith discussion on mediation due to the problems which have worsened on the article recently. Now, you have linked on the article Talk page to the page on which you made unfounded accusations against me to Gwen. Those do NOT belong on an article talk page. Please delete your link to Gwen's Talk page. Linking to private conversations like that on an article Talk page is not appropriate, especially in the context of a discussion on trying to find peaceful solutions. Perhaps you do not support mediation, but trying to divulge private information like that, including your false allegations that I am connected with the case, is most hurtful to my efforts to find a peaceful resolution to the process of editing the article.

No, you haven't been vindicated. You shouldn't think of this result in those terms. All that has happened here is that we have spent the better part of two days dealing with this. And there still may be other fall out.
Why didn't you or Izauze or both of you see what was happening and talk it out like civilized people? (Remember, I know nothing about the actual discussion leading up to this. Nor do I want to know.) If necessary, either one of you could have asked for a consensus vote. And while all of us were discussing it, you should've left the article alone. For a week or more. It's my understanding that this whole edit war took place in less than a day. We are not a newspaper; there's nothing that says news must get into Wikipedia in less than a week. Or a month.
I blame both of you for letting this whole edit war happen.
That being said, I'm glad you were not banned or even warned. -- RoyGoldsmith ( talk) 23:33, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi Malke, I just wanted to encourage you to be carefull of WP:3RR, and to remind you to farmiliarize yourself with WP:revert. As you will see, reverting the edits of others is to be used as a last resort according to Wikipedia guidelines. I encourage you to follow the guidelines.

I must warn you to please stop using the citation http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Tea_Party_movement&oldid=348516260#cite_note-Los_Angeles_Times-123 to claim "The Los Angeles Times reported that Fox News claimed it gave coverage to the emerging protests while MSNBC, and the network news outlets, ABC, NBC, and CBS, ignored the coverage."

The point at hand (as pointed out at the NOR noticboard): You appear to be repeatedly misstating information attributed to this newspaper story about how several television news programs reported on the Tea Party movement. The Wikipedia article currently states: "The Los Angeles Times reported that Fox News claimed it gave coverage to the emerging protests while MSNBC, and the network news outlets, ABC, NBC, and CBS, ignored the coverage." The article does not say this. This amounts to WP:OR. Here are the diffs: [11] [12] [13] [14] Will you please address this apparent error?-- Happysomeone ( talk) 03:53, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
This is my only edit involving the Los Angeles Times and it does reflect what James Rainey wrote: James Rainey of The Los Angeles Times said MSNBC's attacks on the tea parties paled compared to Fox's support, but Olbermann, Maddow and Matthews were hardly subtle in disparaging the movement.[135] Howard Kurtz has said that, "These [FOX] hosts said little or nothing about the huge deficits run up by President Bush, but Barack Obama's budget and tax plans have driven them to tea. On the other hand, CNN and MSNBC may have dropped the ball by all but ignoring the protests."[136] You are referring to this: The Los Angeles Times reported that Fox News claimed it gave coverage to the emerging protests while MSNBC, and the network news outlets[not in citation given][original research?], ABC, NBC, and CBS, ignored[not in citation given][original research?] the coverage.[139] I deleted that and talked about it on the talk page. Izauze wrote it. Let me repeat that, I did not write it, I deleted it. And that's the end of this. Malke 2010 07:28, 9 March 2010 (UTC) |

Hi again!
To report an anon for vandalism or such, using TW, you can select ARV (while on the User's page or User's Talk page) and check the appropriate boxes, and enter text into the summary (supporting links, etc). That will automagically add it to the Administrator Intervention Against Vandalism page, where a buncha admins normally patrol for blocking purposes and such. Things to ensure are that at least 4 warnings have been given within 24 hours with another vandalism attempt since (in that same time frame). If TW reports there is already an entry, then dont force one - it means someone beat you to it. If it's still ongoing and no one is instituting a block, you may wish to visit the AIV page and add more info in support of the block.
And of course, you definitely want to make sure that you dont give the user a vandalism warning for what might be a good faith edit.
The way I handle questionable edits is to use Twinkle's (ROLLBACK) option instead of (ROLLBACK VANDAL), and then add a Welcome template instead of a Warning template. The Welcome templates have similar warnings for possible vandalism (scroll through the list and pic what is appropriate), that way, if you aren't sure if it's good faith but bad edit as opposed to blatant vandalism, you can issue a polite semi-warning to the user without it being reported as vandalism.

In response to your question on my talk page, I would prefer it if you didn't modify my "sandbox", by which I think you mean my user subpage concerning TPm History. I will be implementing the update sometime within the next 24 hours and probably before that. Then you can edit the History section within the article itself as normal, although please look at the TPm talk for my request for consensus.
You can, of course, edit the History section in the article itself before I update. I will track every change to History and update my user subpage before I commit to changing the article itself. In this way, you can be assured that all changes you make to the article will find their way to the user subpage concerning History and possibly to the updated article. But, for now, please limit yourself the comments on the TPm talk page. -- RoyGoldsmith ( talk) 00:22, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but this is a lot more complex that you'd imagine. That particular infobox does not have the 'religion' parameter. I looked at adding it, but then noticed that it had been removed in the past. There are discussions here, here and here. It looks a bit complicated, but if you want, start a fresh discussion on that talk page, and maybe ask some people who commented before to share their thoughts on adding it back.

Well the "General Fixes" part is done by WP:AWB but it is currently hamstrung because someone doesn't like that it gives references names. The other specific part is dating tags such as {{ Citation missing}} - this puts the articles into dated categories, to help with cleanup. To find out more about robots see WP:BOT. Rich Farmbrough, 15:21, 30 November 2009 (UTC).
Copy from talk page:
Excuse me, but I did not "simply revert". I moved the content to the appropriate main body article section. The lead section of an article should not contain content that is not already included in the article itself. Per WP:LEAD: The lead serves both as an introduction to the article and as a summary of the important aspects of the subject of the article. I also corrected citation format style rather than the blank links with no appropriate identification, title, date, publication or author. Yeah, you're right, it does take a lot of work. It takes even more work to correct errors in citation addition, verify citations, some of which did not, in any way, support what you said it did and for which I had to find proper sourcing. Let me remind you this is designated a good article and thus, the style, citations and content that you added does not pass good article muster. The rest of the content you added to the lead isn't at all supported by a stark link to the Writer's Guild, which, when his name is searched, states simply "Sorry, this member has chosen not to publish any details." This content would not go in the lead unless it is already contained in the article. I note also that you were told here that the content should go in the personal life section, which is not where you put it. When you make an addition to an article and click save, it is no longer your addition. At the bottom, below the edit window, in tiny letters, it says "If you do not want your writing to be edited, used, and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I did not simply revert your addition, I moved it and cleaned it up. Please be so good as to return to the personal life section the cleaned up content regarding the marathon and remove the unverified content you added to the lead. Otherwise, in this case, I will simply revert it. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 21:13, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

You are allowed to do many things in edit summaries, but lying is not one of them.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 23:19, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Alright, first, I'll start by stating things in a summary, then I'll explicitly cite and explain:
First of all, I stated that Mal is not allowed to lie in edit summaries. You then come on the page defending Mal, saying that she can remove posts and other things. I correct you, saying that she cannot do specific things, and again refer to my above statement. You fail to listen and again put words in my mouth.
I stated, to Mal, that she is not allowed to Lie in edit summaries, as she did here. You come defending her, stating that she can do whatever she wants with messages on it, citing WP:UP. I clarify to you, that she can not indeed do anything she wants with any messages. I state what she cannot do with messages. I do not state that she perpetrated any of the described acts. Further, I never stated that she was not allowed to remove messages. You then quote policy at me again, putting words in my mouth again while calling me blind, citing WP:CIVIL(talk about double standards). I tell you to make sure you've read my entire post, because it was quite obvious you weren't reading it, otherwise the aforementioned points would be obvious to you. You wrongly state that you have read the post, even telling me that I didn't back up my accusation(even though I quite clearly did, when I cited her lying in an edit). I express rightful disbelief at your fallacy of having read my post, per my points above. Therefore, I stand by my statement that you have not read my post. You are quite obviously assuming and reading into my posts, instead of reading them explicitly, as I have asked of you. So again. Read my post, please, before responding any further.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 01:57, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Then the user places the template on the other user's talk page, alerting them of a message on the user's page. The real convience is that you don't have to check you watch list every single second(you know what I mean).

In this edit, your change included deleting a footnote that looked like this:
and replacing it with this:
If you don't understand why that was a mistake, please see link rot. In the future, you should avoid adding naked url footnotes to articles.
Also, in the edit above, what you did resulted in four different footnote numbers (all being naked urls), even though the source is exactly the same. Repeating the same citation in multiple places is highly undesirable. Wikipedia has the "name=" option for footnotes to avoid this problem, and I used that option to fix this error, in an edit I did previous to the one we're discussing here - a change that you apparently didn't understand, since you didn't keep my change. Please see this guideline for more details. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 19:26, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi Malke 2010, it appears an editor with a personal conflict apparently tried to rewrite several sections of the article. I'm happy he was very honest about his intentions, but sad to see the only way of getting his attention was by locking down the page. Unfortunately, the editor doesn't seem to be responding very well to overtures of collaboration. This will probably resume once the page is unlocked, sadly. Hope not.-- Happysomeone ( talk) 02:11, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I reverted your edits on 2009 flu pandemic. One edit broke the template for the data. The other (adding "Swine flu" to the lead sentence) contradicts the title of the article.

Hi there,
The bot is not archiving every two days, despite multiple interventions (see threads above). Is it possible that the clock is blocking the bot? I'm not tech savvy but I can see when something's not working. Thanks. Malke 2010 22:17, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
Maybe! I've changed it to the following...
{{User:MiszaBot/config |archiveheader = {{atnhead}} |maxarchivesize = 200K |counter = 1 |minthreadsleft = 2 |minthreadstoarchive = 1 |algo = old(2d) |archive = User talk:Malke 2010/Archive %(counter)d }}
I've added the number to the "counter" field, you are on Archive 1, so 1 is correct, when the "maxarchive" size gets to 200K as you set, then the bot will change the counter to 2, and start Archive 2. I changed "minthreadsleft" to 2, that means that the page will never be blank, just have the last 2 threads showing. Also changed "minthreadstoarchive" to 1, so that means that the bot should archive as soon as the thread is old enough, and not wait until several threads are ready. Note that I also added a new line to separate this template from the next one (AutoArchivingNotice) as you had }}{{ - no separation between the end of one and the start of the other.
Just to compare here is mine copied from my talk page - Note that now there is not much difference, I use the default header (it defaults to {{
Talkarchive}} if not specified), so I don't use the "archiveheader" parameter. I do note that {{
atnhead}} is now a redirect to {{
Talkarchivenav}}, so it it still don't work try altering or deleting that line.
{{User:MiszaBot/config |maxarchivesize = 125K |counter = 4 |minthreadsleft = 3 |minthreadstoarchive = 2 |algo = old(14d) |archive = User talk:Ronhjones/Archive %(counter)d }}
Hopefully it might now work. User:MiszaBot III does the user talk pages, you can always check the contributions to see if it's working. Ronhjones (Talk) 19:45, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
I think term limits make a lot of sense and would increase accountability of admins. Since postulating the idea, I have seen threads discussing it with the 'opposers' making arguments against concerning logistics and it leading to a shortage of admins. Overall however, I think a reconfirmation process would be an overall good thing. What do you have in mind? J04n( talk page) 11:04, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
Work on it at User:Malke 2010/Admin term limits. Take your time, I wouldn't propose it until after the community de-adminship RFC is finished. Look over the previous thread and try to address all of the reasons that folks opposed it. You should also look at WP:AMR and Wikipedia:PERENNIAL#Reconfirm administrators.

You have accused me of engaging in an edit war, you have told me that I should stop editing on the Kercher article, you have accused me of not using good sources, you have accused me of being somehow connected with the case, of editing POV, and on and on. I do not even know where you came from. You have not been involved with this Kercher article, while I have put many hours into this. You just show up and start making accusations against me.

I started a good faith discussion on mediation due to the problems which have worsened on the article recently. Now, you have linked on the article Talk page to the page on which you made unfounded accusations against me to Gwen. Those do NOT belong on an article talk page. Please delete your link to Gwen's Talk page. Linking to private conversations like that on an article Talk page is not appropriate, especially in the context of a discussion on trying to find peaceful solutions. Perhaps you do not support mediation, but trying to divulge private information like that, including your false allegations that I am connected with the case, is most hurtful to my efforts to find a peaceful resolution to the process of editing the article.

No, you haven't been vindicated. You shouldn't think of this result in those terms. All that has happened here is that we have spent the better part of two days dealing with this. And there still may be other fall out.
Why didn't you or Izauze or both of you see what was happening and talk it out like civilized people? (Remember, I know nothing about the actual discussion leading up to this. Nor do I want to know.) If necessary, either one of you could have asked for a consensus vote. And while all of us were discussing it, you should've left the article alone. For a week or more. It's my understanding that this whole edit war took place in less than a day. We are not a newspaper; there's nothing that says news must get into Wikipedia in less than a week. Or a month.

I must warn you to please stop using the citation http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Tea_Party_movement&oldid=348516260#cite_note-Los_Angeles_Times-123 to claim "The Los Angeles Times reported that Fox News claimed it gave coverage to the emerging protests while MSNBC, and the network news outlets, ABC, NBC, and CBS, ignored the coverage." This claim is not in this citation and cannot be verified. We have already discussed this several times before. Thank you. -- Happysomeone ( talk) 22:07, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
The point at hand (as pointed out at the NOR noticboard): You appear to be repeatedly misstating information attributed to this newspaper story about how several television news programs reported on the Tea Party movement. The Wikipedia article currently states: "The Los Angeles Times reported that Fox News claimed it gave coverage to the emerging protests while MSNBC, and the network news outlets, ABC, NBC, and CBS, ignored the coverage." The article does not say this. This amounts to WP:OR. Here are the diffs: [11] [12] [13] [14] Will you please address this apparent error?-- Happysomeone ( talk) 03:53, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
This is my only edit involving the Los Angeles Times and it does reflect what James Rainey wrote: James Rainey of The Los Angeles Times said MSNBC's attacks on the tea parties paled compared to Fox's support, but Olbermann, Maddow and Matthews were hardly subtle in disparaging the movement.[135] Howard Kurtz has said that, "These [FOX] hosts said little or nothing about the huge deficits run up by President Bush, but Barack Obama's budget and tax plans have driven them to tea. On the other hand, CNN and MSNBC may have dropped the ball by all but ignoring the protests."[136] You are referring to this: The Los Angeles Times reported that Fox News claimed it gave coverage to the emerging protests while MSNBC, and the network news outlets[not in citation given][original research?], ABC, NBC, and CBS, ignored[not in citation given][original research?] the coverage.[139] I deleted that and talked about it on the talk page. Izauze wrote it. Let me repeat that, I did not write it, I deleted it. And that's the end of this. Malke 2010 07:28, 9 March 2010 (UTC) |

Hi again!
To report an anon for vandalism or such, using TW, you can select ARV (while on the User's page or User's Talk page) and check the appropriate boxes, and enter text into the summary (supporting links, etc). That will automagically add it to the Administrator Intervention Against Vandalism page, where a buncha admins normally patrol for blocking purposes and such. Things to ensure are that at least 4 warnings have been given within 24 hours with another vandalism attempt since (in that same time frame). If TW reports there is already an entry, then dont force one - it means someone beat you to it. If it's still ongoing and no one is instituting a block, you may wish to visit the AIV page and add more info in support of the block.
And of course, you definitely want to make sure that you dont give the user a vandalism warning for what might be a good faith edit.
The way I handle questionable edits is to use Twinkle's (ROLLBACK) option instead of (ROLLBACK VANDAL), and then add a Welcome template instead of a Warning template. The Welcome templates have similar warnings for possible vandalism (scroll through the list and pic what is appropriate), that way, if you aren't sure if it's good faith but bad edit as opposed to blatant vandalism, you can issue a polite semi-warning to the user without it being reported as vandalism.

You can, of course, edit the History section in the article itself before I update. I will track every change to History and update my user subpage before I commit to changing the article itself. In this way, you can be assured that all changes you make to the article will find their way to the user subpage concerning History and possibly to the updated article.

I'm sorry, but this is a lot more complex that you'd imagine. That particular infobox does not have the 'religion' parameter.

It looks a bit complicated, but if you want, start a fresh discussion on that talk page, and maybe ask some people who commented before to share their thoughts on adding it back.

{{help}} Can you please tell me how do I add to the info box on this page [22]? I want his religion to show because it's a large part of who he is and is featured prominently in the book about him. Thanks. Malke 2010 08:07, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but this is a lot more complex that you'd imagine. That particular infobox does not have the 'religion' parameter. I looked at adding it, but then noticed that it had been removed in the past. There are discussions here, here and here. It looks a bit complicated, but if you want, start a fresh discussion on that talk page, and maybe ask some people who commented before to share their thoughts on adding it back.
Personally, I can't imagine why they would object to having such a totally optional parameter.

Hello Technically Gifted, I want to put a new info box on Paul Farmer's page so I can add his religion. The Scientist Infobox does not allow for that. How do I switch in an infobox that does allow for it? Thanks a bunch. Malke 2010 18:40, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Do not leave any further messages on my talk page, ever, for any reason. I haven't the least damned interest in your ignorant opinion. What you know of Ireland and Wiki policy could fit in a thimble with enough room left over for your meager brains. --- RepublicanJacobite The'FortyFive' 00:42, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

WHOA! I've used BETA before but that new bar didn't appear!

Now you're being sexist. DW has told me in the past that that name is their last name, you're being sexist by assuming it's female. I suggest you stop; either ask, or use gender neutral words.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 17:39, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

This edit was not vandalism. Calling it vandalism was a wanton personal attack. Having warned you earlier about making further personal attacks, I've blocked you for 24 hours. Gwen Gale ( talk) 19:14, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

19:14, 20 May 2010 (UTC)Please provide details and diffs of the blocking Admins conflict of interest. Off2riorob ( talk) 19:35, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
The biggest conflict of interest is that she has had a personal email relationship and she is angry about something else. For diffs on an earlier dispute, I would have to get them from her talk page, around middle of March of this year. I will get you diffs from my talk page now. Please wait. Malke 2010 19:41, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
Gwen Gale, you are blocking me for the comments I made to Dayewalker. You called that 'scathing,' yet you ignored Republican Jacobite. If you can come back now and claim I've made another personal attack, can you again excuse Republican Jacobite? Has he been blocked? Malke 2010 19:55, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Malke, in reading your posts after the block, I believe you still misunderstand the personal attacks policy and made a mistake, rather than a willful attack, so I'm unblocking you. No matter what the disagreement, or what other editors may have said to you, you cannot answer with personal attacks on other editors or call their edits vandalism, which has a very narrow meaning here. If you need help keeping within the bounds of NPA, please ask an experiernced editor, an admin, or me. Meanwhile, stay away from User:RepublicanJacobite's talk page.

Malke, which group is it that want Collins not to be a Catholic?, excuse me, I can see there is some problem about it but I just don't totally get it. Is it the protestant irish nationalists? (was there such a thing) why would anyone want to deny his religion? If you know why anyone from ireland would dislike Collins being a catholic please explain. Anti catholics? Which religion/group are they? Off2riorob ( talk) 15:30, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for that explanation Malke. Off2riorob ( talk) 19:21, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
I never have but it looks pretty simple from the instructions. It looks like there are only a handful of double redirects which is easy to fix. "Pennsylvania Main Line" will be a redirect so the pages currently linking to it don't have to be immediately changed. There might even be a bot or script for those. It appears to be the way to go so let me know if you want me to try it. Cptnono ( talk) 01:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
If the source is reliable and a bit of content to explain what it is is available, it certainly can go it. I'd put it in the Personal life section after the paragraph about the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 21:20, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
