i hope you read thru the introduction i.e the first few lines before tagging the article on Snana Yatra about lacking an intro or lead ( Sidsahu ( talk) 08:43, 27 January 2009 (UTC))
your changes are accurate and make reading smoother than what i wrote. It is a bathing festival of idols of the hindu gods of jagannath cult, held as per a lunar calendar , purnima is the date of jyestha month. thats why i have put internal links as the relation between the hindu calendar and gregorian calendar is not fixed. i am adding a bit more to make it clearer i hope ( Sidsahu ( talk) 06:21, 28 January 2009 (UTC))
First up, I'll refer you here to read the policy on blocking users.
As I said on the user page of the most recent anonymous IP address being used by Fodient, whether or not the edits are legitimate is not the issue. He's been blocked from editing. That's his punishment for whatever he's done to disrupt Wikipedia. If he's allowed to edit anyway, it's not very much of a punishment, is it? - Dewelar ( talk) 09:23, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to write me.
It's exciting to be a part of the Wiki-community. A quick question, there are a few articles/pages I would like to start that I think are world relevant (people/places), but I'm not an expert, should I hold off on doing a page until I am, or maybe it would be acceptable to add it as a stub? I understand the need for expert fact giving and I will not adding anything that doesn't meet the Wiki "reliable sources" guidelines.
Again, thank you for taking the time to work with a newbe. Also, I added more detailed references to the Anders Stone page (correct Wiki nomenclature, "Article?")

Hello shadowjams.
My apologies for having attached myself to you as my guide in the Wiki world. I promise to keep this short and my questions in the future to a minimum. I would like to write a page about a knife maker in Japan named Shinichi Watanabe. While he is not famous, he is known in chef's/cook's circles as a first rate, custom knife maker. He is relatively young and this could in theory appear to be some kind of self aggrandizement/promotion. I know the subject well and he is one of the few left doing things in an old fashioned way. Most everything I know of him is from the web and not from any substantiated news sources (newspapers/books, etc). I have personally ordered knives from him and can attest to his craftsmanship. I'm on the fence as to him qualifying under the "notability of individuals." How should I proceed, if at all?
Thank you for your time. Hans Schlemmer ( talk) 22:50, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Please note that this article is subjected to repeated attacks by anons and SPAs, which do not constitute a real disptute. My fourth revert was clearly the removal of an edit done by an new anon, which I identified as vandalism (I checked the Talk page of the IP). Reading the 3RR ruled, I concluded (before doing the edit) that this was an acceptable edit. If you think I was wrong, please explain. -- Dessources ( talk) 23:49, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi Shadowjams - good to see a few new stub articles about places in Alaska. A quick suggestion, though - if you make any more, could you please add {{ Alaska-geo-stub}} rather than just {{ geo-stub}} (all countries and a lot of subnational regions like states have their own geo-stub templates)? Not a biggie, but it saves a little work further down the line. Cheers, and keep up the good work :) Grutness... wha? 00:21, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Would you please explain to me why you thought this is an attack page? It's more like a fan-admiring essay than an attack. And Ben Cousins lists the drug addiction, so it's not unsourced negative BLP either. Regards So Why 10:51, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
I am the person who creates this article Vector soliton.
Because vector solitons are rather are ubiquitous and generic in the entire field of nonlinear systems, it should be very interesting to edit this concept in this famous website: wiki. However, as I am only a foreign student with poor English, this website is not well prepared. However, I promise that I would improve this website as best as I can. I am not intending to advise something in this website but just want to introduce the basic concept of wiki. So due to my limited knowledge on vector solitons, I could only dare to introduce our works on vector solitons. But I hope other researchers on vector solitons would try to improve this and make more people know about what vector solitons are. Please give me more time on improving this and I would try to clarify something inappropriate. Wish you could reconsider after a second thought as i have deleted and added something alread.
PS:I have rewrote the articles and hope you could give me another chance!
best regards, Vectorsoliton ( talk) 13:56, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Would you mind providing some pointers on the tags you've add to this article?
This article is not strictly about a book, but about a body of knowledge (or BOK), which has been developed over a number of years with input from hundreds of professional business analysts and project managers, and in line with other similar bodies of knowledge is managed by the professional association that publishes the guide to it. Similar examples with articles on Wikipedia are those for Software Engineering managed by the IEEE Computer Society; Civil Engineering managed by the American Society of Civil Engineers; and the most similar would be Project Management managed by the Project Management Institute.
The latter article, for the PMBOK, has very similar content to this, so I would like to understand how to lift this article up to an acceptable standard. Any general comments would be welcomed. Specifically, with respected to the tags you added:
Thanks. Greyskinnedboy ( talk) 14:16, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Would you mind reviewing the updates I have now made in response to your tag to wikify the knowledge areas for the BABOK?

You had concerns about whether there were it met WP:RS (and probably also WP:NOTE).

May I ask why you tagged this for speedy deletion? That is a redirect created from a valid page move (I moved the page to have proper capitalization). Are you wanting to move the page back? rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 07:12, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
I was drawn to the articles because ofthe proposed merge notice. Once there I noticed that the article was written by someone who had some difficulty with the content, the structure, and English. I figured anything would be an improvement, and I had the time, so I went ahead. it's hardly complete as is, and has few or no references. Most of it is straightforward from first principles, but because computer security and crypto security are very context dependent, it's likely that references for and against most anything can be found. And on both sides there are many writers whose expertise is limited, though their confidence in their assertions is robust.
I'll try to remember to come back and keep up the work. As for 'directing' it, per your second thought comment on my talk page, this is a bit against WP individualism, except in visible forums, and in any case, my available time is limited and erratic. I suspect I'd be a lousy director, and would likely be a lousy directee as well. ww ( talk) 11:01, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
hello,
there is this anon bloke continuously changing the birthplace of Leroy Jones to Meridian, Missisippi, which I saw both of us have reverted already a few times
now I had a look at the link that he provided recently, which is a quite blurred scanned picture from a some 30 years old boxing magazine, but it indeed seems to indicate that Jones was born in Meridian
even though the anon bloke has some vandalism edits, he might possibly be right on this one. I try to crosscheck this with boxrec.com editors

Hello. As a recent editor to User talk:189.156.177.26, I wanted to leave a friendly reminder that as per WP:USER, editors may remove messages at will from their own talk pages. While we may prefer that comments be archived instead, policy does not prohibit users -including anonymous editors like this one- from deleting messages or warnings from their own talk pages. The only kinds of talk page messages that cannot be removed (as per WP:BLANKING) are declined unblock requests (but only while blocks are still in effect), confirmed sockpuppet notices, or IP header templates (for unregistered editors). However, these exceptions only exist in order to keep a user from potentially gaming the system. Thanks, — Kralizec! ( talk) 04:26, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi -- thanks for imposing some discipline on the article -- but I do have a request. If you're going to tag a statement and then very soon after remove it, please leave a note on the Talk page saying what you did so that people won't miss it. There are lots of valid and necessary statements in articles that have poor sources. In this case the statement was pretty questionable -- there is strong evidence that caffeine exacerbates symptoms of panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, but not much evidence specifically for OCD. Even so, it's worth bringing the issue to the front and giving the experts a chance to respond.
If you prefer, I can start a talk page thread about this, but I thought it would be good to discuss it with you first. Regards, Looie496 ( talk) 16:16, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. Please forgive me if I sound a little angry, I can assure you, I'm not. But could you please explain to me why you ignored a tag that said "please do not edit this page while this message is displayed"? I understand that you are eager to rid the encyclopedia of content you think is unworthy for inclusion but when another editor asks you to wait a few minutes by adding {{ inuse}} to a page, you should consider doing so. Impatience like this will only lead to people getting angry over nothing and not everyone is as patient as I am in such things.

Why exactly did you respond to my talk page because of the Joseph Azar page? I reverted the edit made by the previous user. Before me it said something about Azar being a fucking mad dog or something like that all in capital letters. The weird thing is that you wrote the same thing to me and the vandal and said that you reverted the page when you did not in either case.
Hi Shadowjams,
Way back in May, we had a conversation at my talk page about some ideas I had. It's actually the first significant post I ever made to my discussion page (still there -- not that you need to reread it).
I just wanted to let you know that I've finally followed through on one of those proposals, "A proposal for a new community page - a portal/homepage/community page for "law students"/"US JDs"
I created a task force, WP:Hornbook, which will serve this purpose.
I'm about to send out invitations to law students and members of WP:LAW, and WP:SCOTUS. Before I do, will you take a look at the invitation, the task force, etc., and give me some feedback? Thanks.

Hello, I have a quick question for you, in order to better understand the reason behind my deletion tag. I currently work for the New Orleans Convention Commission and doing a report on the oldest transportation companies in the city of New Orleans. The reason for creating this article was merely a history lesson of one of the oldest companies in the City. There is great history behind this company dating back to the late 1940's. I have permission from the owner of the company, and explained to him that this was not an advertising stunt but merely a historical aspect of transportation in the city of New Orleans. Is there anything I can do in order to make seem like a non-advertising article. If you could please contact me back with a better understand that would be great. Thank you for your time and hope I didn't cause any trouble for you or wikipedia. Thanks again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NewOrleansCC ( talk • contribs) 02:18, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Or did you just auto-revert because there was no edit summary and you can't be bothered to read? If you actually look at the change you will see that the previous wording was at best ungrammatical and at worst nonsensical. I tweaked it into something that did make sense, and was almost certainly the intended meaning (at least, I can't think what else the author might have meant). Don't bite the newbies - or even those who might look like a newbie but have actually been around for years. 93.97.184.230 ( talk) 13:49, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

The NPG edit was constructive. However, I can see why some people don't want it in Wikipedia because it could look like retaliation. After all, the person had no edits.

I hope you don't mind, but rather than start a second AfD for a closely related article I have added to your AfD the article RO-BOT by the same author, about what is evidently the "book of the film", which does not seem to have been published (if it exists at all, and I suspect both film and book exist only in the author's head). By the way, when you raise an AfD you should notify the article author with {{subst:AFDWarning|<articlename>}} or (if he's new) the more explanatory {{subst:AFDWarningNew|<articlename>}}.

Zona Franca and Zona Franca - Port are different things. Zona Franca - Port is an area of the district of Sants-Montjuïc that includes the Port of Barcelona and the Zona Franca (Barcelona). I create the artice about Zona Franca - Port, not the article of Zona Franca (Barcelona) and you renamed in the wrong way, you can create an artice called Zona Franca (Barcelona) explaining the industrial zone, I just create and article about an administrative zone.-- Vilar 10:18, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Zona Franca is an industrial area and the Port de Barcelona is a port, both are different things but the Council of Barcelona (Ajuntament de Barcelona Ajuntament de Bcn official website.) use the name "Zona Franca - Port" as administrative area of the district of Sants-Montjuïc that includes the Port and the Zona Franca, in its website specify that is not a neighbourhood because in that area don't live nobody, so I don't understand why you don't belive me because I gibe you official sources.

Official sources:
As you can see in the last one, the district council of Sants-Montjuïc uses the name of Zona Franca - Port and Parc de Montjuïc as two parts of the district that are not neighbourhoods but are parts of their zone.

It make no sense to create an article as Zona Franca (Barcelona) and another one as Zona Franca (Port), what is the difference between both? There's no place called Zona Franca in the Port.-- Vilar 12:34, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
Just to let you know, I upgraded your automatic template on User talk:122.111.161.164 to a warning, as I'm assuming you didn't notice I gave the IP an "edit test" template for another edit on the same article just yesterday. Just an FYI :) ....
sorry. I had a look at the coords that were on the original and noticed they are pointing into the middle of nowhere in the woomera rocket range. No roads, no blast area, nothing. So decided to find out real coords. This web site lists the coords for totem 1 and 2 correctly. http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/nuclear/tests/UK-ntests1.html
If you examine them both in google earth they make sense. Access roads, blast rings, cable runs, etc. Also you can see the airfield they built about 17km to the WNW on a lake bed.

Thanks for your note, I thought about CSDing it under G3, but decided against it as I didn't want to be too harsh if the user was posting about a new subject that I didn't know about. But ya, G3 would also apply in this case. If I understand it correctly, an article may fit under multiple CSD reasons. Regarding users that deCSD "improper" tags, I've seen cases of those and I'm somewhat annoyed by that type of behavior. My view is that if someone has the time to deCSD it, they should also have to time to reCSD it under the "right" CSD.

I closed my Rfa about an hour ago and left a strongly worded closing statement. I wanted to make sure that you know that I did not mean it in reference to you. Your remarks were kind and supportive and I am very appreciative.

There is no need to shout at me with hidden comments in the article. I am perfectly well aware of the rules at MOS:DAB and this should have been clear from my edit summary when I reverted you. The purpose of a guideline is to guide, not to establish firm rules with the full authority of law. As it says at the top of the guideline page, "Use common sense in applying it; it will have occasional exceptions." The reason for the rule against pipes is to avoid the reader being misled over the article they are about to jump to. Do you really think that a user following a link to "car tuner" is going to be disappointed to arrive at "car tuning"? Correct english is way more important than avoiding pipes. Do you really think that "car tuning" is a "car enthusiast"? If the pipe really bothers you, reword it with acceptable grammar and I will stop messing with it.

Effectively you can co-ordinate with FDUB by not editing pages with the ranges it has completed (jan 1- feb 14 and dec 10-31), but it cannot currently, and is not currently required to, coordinate with you.
It is important I think that you catch effectively all the full dates on a page, so you should pick up the three main formats. Make sure you include an optional "." in your abbreviations. Sprinkling the regex with " *" is a good idea, although it is probably about .1% of articles that have these types of dates.
\[\[ *0?([1-3]?\d) *(January|February|March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December) *\]\] *\[\[ *([1-9]\d{2,}) *\]\]
for example picks up strangely spaced links and suppresses leading "0"s
\[\[ *0?([1-3]?\d)(st|rd|nd|st) *(January|February|March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December) *\]\] *\[\[ *([1-9]\d{2,}) *\]\]
also gets links like 1st September 1999, finally
\[\[ *0?([1-3]?\d)(st|rd|nd|st)[ _]*(January|February|March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December) *\]\][, ]*\[\[ *([1-9]\d{2,}) *\]\]
catches legal underscores between the parts in the first link.
For a test page copy User:Full-date unlinking bot/Test environment to your userspace. It tests for false negatives, I.E you should get everything on this page (and some more). It does not test for false negatives - for example two half dates split by a sentence end, or things that look like dates but aren't. I did find one Octember I think, the context made it clear what it actually was. Rich Farmbrough, 07:58, 9 December 2009 (UTC).
Could you please ensure that you do not replace typographically correct quotation marks and apostrophes with dumb quotes? You have done that in at least two places: [27] [28]. Amongst other things, this indiscriminate replacement broke some of the links in the articles. Thank you. — Richie 18:03, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
The exclusive use of straight quotes and apostrophes (see preceding section) is recommended. They are easier to type in reliably, and to edit. Mixed use interferes with some searches, such as those using the browser's search facility...Furthermore, html elements (such as <ref name="foo"/>) may not always work if curly quotes are used.
As the nom, I feel I have to talk to you personally. This article might need to be de-listed for now. The problem, as far I as I can see (and as you pointed out), is that her article needs far more work to establish her personal notability. I think it best to wait to see if this can actually be achieved in the article. Cablespy ( here) has actually cut out a substantial amount recently (tagging as: no sources for this paragraph. may be defamatory). Also, my discussions with Opus33 aren't going too well: I actually feel as if he is being at least uncivil if not actually personally attacking me. Have I actually warranted his comments? Have I misconstrued him? I hope I have been civil back? I'm pretty annoyed any way and need someone to talk to.

A serious vandalism you give the last warning to the IP/user? -- by---->Javierito92 ( Talk to me) 10:12, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Not sure exactly what you mean, but I think it's typical to afford some leeway to experienced vandalism patrollers to things they find fishy. After all, somebody signs off on any block, and in that case it's only temporary, in most cases extremely short. I've been doing this for quite a while, and I think it looks like you have too. I don't think there's anything wrong with giving a stronger warning to vandals that are either strongly associated with another identity that's already vandalized and/or been warned, or with vandals that are well beyond simple mistakes, and are clearly aware of policy but vandalizing anyway.
My general theory on vandal patrolling is to give the benefit of the doubt to the experienced patroller when it comes to warnings, give editors that respond to warnings in person a tremendous vote of good faith, and to also give short blocks to most editors that after warnings, and good faith, are still making problem edits. The editors that don't need short blocks are the editors that are clearly the same, whether on the same IP (often) or a different one, that continue to do almost exactly the same thing as before after being warned and being blocked. Those blocks should escalate, and should be strong. It's a classic 80/20 rule. 20 percent of editors do 80% of the work, and 20% also make 80% of the problem.
Whether you agree with my huggle approach, no hard feelings. I appreciate anyone taking their time to do vandalism patrolling. I think we're an under-appreciated part of the project, that is critically important. If I can help you in the future, please let me know. Shadowjams ( talk) 10:40, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Shaun Quinlan (ice hockey) Labeled the article a stub, looks like it fits that category and that will allow it to be expanded upon. And from taking a few quick moments to look in the Category:United States ice hockey biography stubs, one of the first names I clicked on was Jason Saal who never played a single game in the NHL and plays for some lower International "AA" league team. With that being said, this article deserves to be saved as a stub so it can be expanded upon in the event information becomes available via hockey archives.

It would be so great Shadowjams if you could save this article as a stub and take off the "article considered for deletion" tag which you placed on it. This would allow people the opportunity to search hockey archives and databases to help expand it. There is information out there, it just has to be found. There are many hockey players on Wikipedia that never made the NHL and played in affiliate leagues etc. I strongly feel this hockey player is a quality addition to Wikipedia as a stub especially when many other stubs don't contain much of anything. This article is a link to the Golden Age of hockey and one of the best college hockey teams in the world and there is more quality material and photographs that have yet to be added to it. I ask you to save it as a stub and allow it to have the opportunity over time to grow like so many others on this great project.

Well! You have LOTS of time on your hands if you care about my edit of "Bishop" George Augustus Stallings. I removed his "bishops box" as he had been removed from the priesthood of the Catholic Church and excommunicated. I did not sign in and could have noted this, which I regret. I have this question to ask. Can anyone just declare themselves a bishop of the Catholic Church and create a Wikipedia article? I understand that there is an Archbishop of Canterbury that Pope Leo XIII declares to be a layman by a Papal bull but is George Stallings a bishop in the church in which he was ordained and meant to be called "most reverend".

Hi, Lentower and I have some kind of irreconcilable differences here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:H%C3%A4agen-Dazs#local_management_mistake_not_encyclopedic . I suspect the issue boils down to the extent to which the controversy is a non-routine news event. From my perspective, I appear to absolutely right. However, I realize that I am new to Wikipedia and so room for misunderstanding is there. At this point, the dispute there seems to have got stuck and I don't see us moving towards consensus. Also, the discussion on whether to have the section is now many times larger than the section itself - and it's going nowhere. As a result, I suspect both Lentower and I are merely wasting our time there in a fruitless dispute. Do you think you could weigh in on the issue? Wwmargera ( talk) 12:43, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

By the way, if my post sounded a little rough, it's because I thought someone just reverted it for a simple count of a contribution. And perhaps because I was without sleep at the time. I take it by the radio logo highlight, you mean it didn't seem much of a contribution. If so, I understand, I just thought to snip off that little space, and it may look better having it close to the other content.

Thanks for your help on my KGCU redirects. I am retired after a 43 year career in radio, thus my interest in some of the station history sections. You might find this of interest.
http://home.comcast.net/~tjbdx/index.htm
Regarding KGCU...it's something that's about to get lost in the sea of call letter changes...and I feel that since the station was KGCU (without an AM or FM suffix)...that's how it should be referenced. Since the current station in Alaska is an FM operation, it would more properly be listed as KGCU-FM.
This all brings up a question. Does Wikipedia have a "similar to" popup list like Google? I don't remember ever seeing one...but it sure would be handy.
You're right about the year of sign on. When I located 1925 (Broadcasting Yearbook - 1969) it didn't sound right...but that's a generally reliable source. Later I found the 1926 date elsewhere, then ran into your note. I have made the appropriate changes.
Anyhow, I worked at KBOM for a brief period in the 1960s, and prior to that at KFYR and KFYR-TV. I also made some additions to their historic content...particularly with a list of 1953-1965 TV personalities on the KFYR-TV page.

I just made a minor change to the Data dictionary page, yet, increadibly you backed it out within 30 seconds with the comment: "Reverted addition of dubious unsourced content". The change I made was to say that the "Data dictionary" is commonly also known as a "metadata repository", and, in fact, the metadata page says the same thing. So, in a sense, I was simply cross referencing the two terms.
I find it offensive that you backed out my change so rapidly, withourt a moment's thought - perhaps you have done it via a robot???
My change was so small and so trivial, and self-evident, that I felt there was no need to first enter into a discussion.
On this page you say you are a new contributor. ok so am I. However, I question your expertise on the subject of "Data dictionary" - if you claim to be an expert let me assure you that you have demonstrated you are not, and if you are not an expert then you should not meddle with things you know nothing about.

Greetings,
Just wonder what make You people so upset that You want to delate my article!? :)
Its kind of funny here. I just started to write articles and specially with the last one on Bohdanow, posted few lines and then when i come back i see the discussion. There are some people that cannot find sources on google and they make some comments that follows. In my opinion, those comments are on similar level that my knowledge in creating articles on Wiki is.
So I make my own comment to show those people the links. Then i see that the discussion continue so I improved this page a lot to hopefully end it all when i see You comment that You still want to delate that page! And this makes me wonder here! What wrong did I or my page to You so You want to delate it!?
I have certain picture of why i want to write such article, do You know at all why You want to deleate it? It would be very interesting for me to know and to learn the Wiki policy about creating articles! Cause all You do is following the policy? Creating creative comments?
Im very open for suggestions so...if You please read the article again (since im not sure You read the article before posting Your last comment), then tell me exactly why and on what ground You want to delaete this page! As for incubition, I dont know what that is...

Thank you for taking the time to write me.
It's exciting to be a part of the Wiki-community. A quick question, there are a few articles/pages I would like to start that I think are world relevant (people/places), but I'm not an expert, should I hold off on doing a page until I am, or maybe it would be acceptable to add it as a stub? I understand the need for expert fact giving and I will not adding anything that doesn't meet the Wiki "reliable sources" guidelines.

Hello shadowjams.
My apologies for having attached myself to you as my guide in the Wiki world. I promise to keep this short and my questions in the future to a minimum. I would like to write a page about a knife maker in Japan named Shinichi Watanabe. While he is not famous, he is known in chef's/cook's circles as a first rate, custom knife maker. He is relatively young and this could in theory appear to be some kind of self aggrandizement/promotion. I know the subject well and he is one of the few left doing things in an old fashioned way. Most everything I know of him is from the web and not from any substantiated news sources (newspapers/books, etc). I have personally ordered knives from him and can attest to his craftsmanship. I'm on the fence as to him qualifying under the "notability of individuals." How should I proceed, if at all?
Thank you for your time. Hans Schlemmer ( talk) 22:50, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Shadowjams - good to see a few new stub articles about places in Alaska. A quick suggestion, though - if you make any more, could you please add {{ Alaska-geo-stub}} rather than just {{ geo-stub}} (all countries and a lot of subnational regions like states have their own geo-stub templates)? Not a biggie, but it saves a little work further down the line. Cheers, and keep up the good work :) Grutness... wha? 00:21, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

I am the person who creates this article Vector soliton.
Because vector solitons are rather are ubiquitous and generic in the entire field of nonlinear systems, it should be very interesting to edit this concept in this famous website: wiki. However, as I am only a foreign student with poor English, this website is not well prepared. However, I promise that I would improve this website as best as I can. I am not intending to advise something in this website but just want to introduce the basic concept of wiki. So due to my limited knowledge on vector solitons, I could only dare to introduce our works on vector solitons. But I hope other researchers on vector solitons would try to improve this and make more people know about what vector solitons are. Please give me more time on improving this and I would try to clarify something inappropriate. Wish you could reconsider after a second thought as i have deleted and added something alread.
PS:I have rewrote the articles and hope you could give me another chance!

Would you mind providing some pointers on the tags you've add to this article?
This article is not strictly about a book, but about a body of knowledge (or BOK), which has been developed over a number of years with input from hundreds of professional business analysts and project managers, and in line with other similar bodies of knowledge is managed by the professional association that publishes the guide to it. Similar examples with articles on Wikipedia are those for Software Engineering managed by the IEEE Computer Society; Civil Engineering managed by the American Society of Civil Engineers; and the most similar would be Project Management managed by the Project Management Institute.
The latter article, for the PMBOK, has very similar content to this, so I would like to understand how to lift this article up to an acceptable standard. Any general comments would be welcomed. Specifically, with respected to the tags you added:

I was drawn to the articles because ofthe proposed merge notice. Once there I noticed that the article was written by someone who had some difficulty with the content, the structure, and English. I figured anything would be an improvement, and I had the time, so I went ahead. it's hardly complete as is, and has few or no references. Most of it is straightforward from first principles, but because computer security and crypto security are very context dependent, it's likely that references for and against most anything can be found. And on both sides there are many writers whose expertise is limited, though their confidence in their assertions is robust.
I'll try to remember to come back and keep up the work. As for 'directing' it, per your second thought comment on my talk page, this is a bit against WP individualism, except in visible forums, and in any case, my available time is limited and erratic. I suspect I'd be a lousy director, and would likely be a lousy directee as well. ww ( talk) 11:01, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

there is this anon bloke continuously changing the birthplace of Leroy Jones to Meridian, Missisippi, which I saw both of us have reverted already a few times
now I had a look at the link that he provided recently, which is a quite blurred scanned picture from a some 30 years old boxing magazine, but it indeed seems to indicate that Jones was born in Meridian
even though the anon bloke has some vandalism edits, he might possibly be right on this one. I try to crosscheck this with boxrec.com editors

Hello. As a recent editor to User talk:189.156.177.26, I wanted to leave a friendly reminder that as per WP:USER, editors may remove messages at will from their own talk pages. While we may prefer that comments be archived instead, policy does not prohibit users -including anonymous editors like this one- from deleting messages or warnings from their own talk pages. The only kinds of talk page messages that cannot be removed (as per WP:BLANKING) are declined unblock requests (but only while blocks are still in effect), confirmed sockpuppet notices, or IP header templates (for unregistered editors). However, these exceptions only exist in order to keep a user from potentially gaming the system. Thanks, — Kralizec! ( talk) 04:26, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi -- thanks for imposing some discipline on the article -- but I do have a request. If you're going to tag a statement and then very soon after remove it, please leave a note on the Talk page saying what you did so that people won't miss it. There are lots of valid and necessary statements in articles that have poor sources. In this case the statement was pretty questionable -- there is strong evidence that caffeine exacerbates symptoms of panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, but not much evidence specifically for OCD. Even so, it's worth bringing the issue to the front and giving the experts a chance to respond.
If you prefer, I can start a talk page thread about this, but I thought it would be good to discuss it with you first. Regards, Looie496 ( talk) 16:16, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

I watchlisted Ron's talk page, so I'll answer anyway. Ron, you may remove this if you wish. The exact process for closing an AfD is listed here. You'll want to make sure you have a clear consensus of what you're going to do. A glance at the AfD shows there are at least 4 different articles that Degenerate Key can be merged into. While merge and redirect is the obvious option, you'll have to decide which article, so you might want to establish consensus first. Ant ive nin 03:56, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Please be advised that I have recently conducted a review of the Rorschach test (formerly Rorschach inkblot test) talk page and archives. At some point, you have commented on the issue of the display and/or placement of the Rorschach inkblot image. Based on my understanding of your comment(s), I have placed you into one of three categories. I am issuing this note so that you can review how I have placed you, and to signal if this is an appropriate placement and/or to make known your current thoughts on this matter. You may either participate in discussion at the article talk page or leave a note at my talk page; but to keep things in one place, you should also clarify at Talk:Rorschach test/2009 consensus review/addendum.

I'm definitely not an expert user at Wikpedia like you are. If I do something wrong by hitting the undo on Erik Qualman notability please let me know. I saw him speak at BookExpo America this past weekend in NYC (5-29-2009) and felt compelled to add to his page. He was there alongside Dr. Ruth, John Grisham, David Baldaci and Mary Higgins Clarke. His autograph line was just as long if not longer than those mentioned so I was suprised by the notability tag. I added some more third party to help. Most of his interviews are video, which I'm not sure how to upload. Anyhow if I did something wrong please let me know!! Thanks for all the help and your Wiki expertise.

I don't agree the change that you have done: Zona Franca - Port to Zona Franca (Barcelona). Zona Franca - Port is an administrative zone of Sants-Montjuïc (see Ajuntament de Barcelona) that includes Zona Franca and Port de Barcelona.
Another thing is "La Bordeta, Barcelona" to "La Bordeta (Barcelona)". As you can see all the others districts are name as ", Barcelona" and not "(Barcelona)" for some reasons. So I think that for coherence you can not change just one. -- Vilar 20:56, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello Shadowjams, I have granted your account rollback in accordance with your request. Please remember that rollback is for reverting vandalism/spam, and that misuse of the tool, either by revert-warring with other users, or simply reverting edits you disagree with, can lead to it being removed.

Hello, I have a quick question for you, in order to better understand the reason behind my deletion tag. I currently work for the New Orleans Convention Commission and doing a report on the oldest transportation companies in the city of New Orleans. The reason for creating this article was merely a history lesson of one of the oldest companies in the City. There is great history behind this company dating back to the late 1940's. I have permission from the owner of the company, and explained to him that this was not an advertising stunt but merely a historical aspect of transportation in the city of New Orleans. Is there anything I can do in order to make seem like a non-advertising article. If you could please contact me back with a better understand that would be great.

Or did you just auto-revert because there was no edit summary and you can't be bothered to read? If you actually look at the change you will see that the previous wording was at best ungrammatical and at worst nonsensical. I tweaked it into something that did make sense, and was almost certainly the intended meaning (at least, I can't think what else the author might have meant).

sorry. I had a look at the coords that were on the original and noticed they are pointing into the middle of nowhere in the woomera rocket range. No roads, no blast area, nothing. So decided to find out real coords. This web site lists the coords for totem 1 and 2 correctly. http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/nuclear/tests/UK-ntests1.html
If you examine them both in google earth they make sense. Access roads, blast rings, cable runs, etc. Also you can see the airfield they built about 17km to the WNW on a lake bed.

Thanks for your note, I thought about CSDing it under G3, but decided against it as I didn't want to be too harsh if the user was posting about a new subject that I didn't know about. But ya, G3 would also apply in this case. If I understand it correctly, an article may fit under multiple CSD reasons. Regarding users that deCSD "improper" tags, I've seen cases of those and I'm somewhat annoyed by that type of behavior. My view is that if someone has the time to deCSD it, they should also have to time to reCSD it under the "right" CSD.

Hello. I noticed you'd removed blue links in some dab page entries. In cases where there are red links we should leave one "navigable" blue link so as to provide the reader at least one choice to explore further. There is a lot to know about those types of pages. Thought I'd let u know. Dawnseeker2000 03:50, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
The red links are OK sometimes. If there is another page that links to that red link item (other than the dab page itself) then it meets the threshold for inclusion. Anyhow, good work. Dawnseeker2000 04:05, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Now I've been told that it was restored. I expect you're seeing some of the history I can't see in regards to that. But that was cleared up a while back. I mispoke saying it had been redirected, but then wrote a second part to that three minutes later. I expected that would have cleared any confusion up.

There is no need to shout at me with hidden comments in the article. I am perfectly well aware of the rules at MOS:DAB and this should have been clear from my edit summary when I reverted you. The purpose of a guideline is to guide, not to establish firm rules with the full authority of law. As it says at the top of the guideline page, "Use common sense in applying it; it will have occasional exceptions." The reason for the rule against pipes is to avoid the reader being misled over the article they are about to jump to. Do you really think that a user following a link to "car tuner" is going to be disappointed to arrive at "car tuning"? Correct english is way more important than avoiding pipes. Do you really think that "car tuning" is a "car enthusiast"? If the pipe really bothers you, reword it with acceptable grammar and I will stop messing with it.

Effectively you can co-ordinate with FDUB by not editing pages with the ranges it has completed (jan 1- feb 14 and dec 10-31), but it cannot currently, and is not currently required to, coordinate with you.
It is important I think that you catch effectively all the full dates on a page, so you should pick up the three main formats. Make sure you include an optional "." in your abbreviations. Sprinkling the regex with " *" is a good idea, although it is probably about .1% of articles that have these types of dates.
\[\[ *0?([1-3]?\d) *(January|February|March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December) *\]\] *\[\[ *([1-9]\d{2,}) *\]\]
for example picks up strangely spaced links and suppresses leading "0"s
\[\[ *0?([1-3]?\d)(st|rd|nd|st) *(January|February|March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December) *\]\] *\[\[ *([1-9]\d{2,}) *\]\]
also gets links like 1st September 1999, finally
\[\[ *0?([1-3]?\d)(st|rd|nd|st)[ _]*(January|February|March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December) *\]\][, ]*\[\[ *([1-9]\d{2,}) *\]\]
catches legal underscores between the parts in the first link.
For a test page copy User:Full-date unlinking bot/Test environment to your userspace. It tests for false negatives, I.E you should get everything on this page (and some more). It does not test for false negatives - for example two half dates split by a sentence end, or things that look like dates but aren't. I did find one Octember I think, the context made it clear what it actually was. Rich Farmbrough, 07:58, 9 December 2009 (UTC).
Could you please ensure that you do not replace typographically correct quotation marks and apostrophes with dumb quotes? You have done that in at least two places: [27] [28]. Amongst other things, this indiscriminate replacement broke some of the links in the articles. Thank you. — Richie 18:03, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
The exclusive use of straight quotes and apostrophes (see preceding section) is recommended. They are easier to type in reliably, and to edit. Mixed use interferes with some searches, such as those using the browser's search facility...Furthermore, html elements (such as <ref name="foo"/>) may not always work if curly quotes are used.
As the nom, I feel I have to talk to you personally. This article might need to be de-listed for now. The problem, as far I as I can see (and as you pointed out), is that her article needs far more work to establish her personal notability. I think it best to wait to see if this can actually be achieved in the article. Cablespy ( here) has actually cut out a substantial amount recently (tagging as: no sources for this paragraph. may be defamatory). Also, my discussions with Opus33 aren't going too well: I actually feel as if he is being at least uncivil if not actually personally attacking me. Have I actually warranted his comments? Have I misconstrued him? I hope I have been civil back? I'm pretty annoyed any way and need someone to talk to. Please tell me politely to go away if I am out of line. -- Jubilee♫ clipman 00:45, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

A serious vandalism you give the last warning to the IP/user? -- by---->Javierito92 ( Talk to me) 10:12, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Not sure exactly what you mean, but I think it's typical to afford some leeway to experienced vandalism patrollers to things they find fishy. After all, somebody signs off on any block, and in that case it's only temporary, in most cases extremely short. I've been doing this for quite a while, and I think it looks like you have too. I don't think there's anything wrong with giving a stronger warning to vandals that are either strongly associated with another identity that's already vandalized and/or been warned, or with vandals that are well beyond simple mistakes, and are clearly aware of policy but vandalizing anyway.
My general theory on vandal patrolling is to give the benefit of the doubt to the experienced patroller when it comes to warnings, give editors that respond to warnings in person a tremendous vote of good faith, and to also give short blocks to most editors that after warnings, and good faith, are still making problem edits. The editors that don't need short blocks are the editors that are clearly the same, whether on the same IP (often) or a different one, that continue to do almost exactly the same thing as before after being warned and being blocked. Those blocks should escalate, and should be strong. It's a classic 80/20 rule. 20 percent of editors do 80% of the work, and 20% also make 80% of the problem.
Whether you agree with my huggle approach, no hard feelings. I appreciate anyone taking their time to do vandalism patrolling. I think we're an under-appreciated part of the project, that is critically important. If I can help you in the future, please let me know. Shadowjams ( talk) 10:40, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Shaun Quinlan (ice hockey) Labeled the article a stub, looks like it fits that category and that will allow it to be expanded upon. And from taking a few quick moments to look in the Category:United States ice hockey biography stubs, one of the first names I clicked on was Jason Saal who never played a single game in the NHL and plays for some lower International "AA" league team. With that being said, this article deserves to be saved as a stub so it can be expanded upon in the event information becomes available via hockey archives.

It would be so great Shadowjams if you could save this article as a stub and take off the "article considered for deletion" tag which you placed on it. This would allow people the opportunity to search hockey archives and databases to help expand it. There is information out there, it just has to be found. There are many hockey players on Wikipedia that never made the NHL and played in affiliate leagues etc. I strongly feel this hockey player is a quality addition to Wikipedia as a stub especially when many other stubs don't contain much of anything. This article is a link to the Golden Age of hockey and one of the best college hockey teams in the world and there is more quality material and photographs that have yet to be added to it. I ask you to save it as a stub and allow it to have the opportunity over time to grow like so many others on this great project.

Hello Shadowjams, I've been very busy as of late and haven't had a lot of time to research, although I have some old hockey friends who have some memorabillia (AHL team photos etc.) that could be added to Wikimedia Commons and linked to this article.

Well! You have LOTS of time on your hands if you care about my edit of "Bishop" George Augustus Stallings. I removed his "bishops box" as he had been removed from the priesthood of the Catholic Church and excommunicated. I did not sign in and could have noted this, which I regret. I have this question to ask. Can anyone just declare themselves a bishop of the Catholic Church and create a Wikipedia article? I understand that there is an Archbishop of Canterbury that Pope Leo XIII declares to be a layman by a Papal bull but is George Stallings a bishop in the church in which he was ordained and meant to be called "most reverend".

Hi, Lentower and I have some kind of irreconcilable differences here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:H%C3%A4agen-Dazs#local_management_mistake_not_encyclopedic . I suspect the issue boils down to the extent to which the controversy is a non-routine news event. From my perspective, I appear to absolutely right. However, I realize that I am new to Wikipedia and so room for misunderstanding is there. At this point, the dispute there seems to have got stuck and I don't see us moving towards consensus. Also, the discussion on whether to have the section is now many times larger than the section itself - and it's going nowhere. As a result, I suspect both Lentower and I are merely wasting our time there in a fruitless dispute. Do you think you could weigh in on the issue? Wwmargera ( talk) 12:43, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

By the way, if my post sounded a little rough, it's because I thought someone just reverted it for a simple count of a contribution. And perhaps because I was without sleep at the time. I take it by the radio logo highlight, you mean it didn't seem much of a contribution. If so, I understand, I just thought to snip off that little space, and it may look better having it close to the other content.

Thanks for your help on my KGCU redirects. I am retired after a 43 year career in radio, thus my interest in some of the station history sections. You might find this of interest.

Regarding KGCU...it's something that's about to get lost in the sea of call letter changes...and I feel that since the station was KGCU (without an AM or FM suffix)...that's how it should be referenced. Since the current station in Alaska is an FM operation, it would more properly be listed as KGCU-FM.
This all brings up a question. Does Wikipedia have a "similar to" popup list like Google? I don't remember ever seeing one...but it sure would be handy.
You're right about the year of sign on. When I located 1925 (Broadcasting Yearbook - 1969) it didn't sound right...but that's a generally reliable source. Later I found the 1926 date elsewhere, then ran into your note. I have made the appropriate changes.
Anyhow, I worked at KBOM for a brief period in the 1960s, and prior to that at KFYR and KFYR-TV. I also made some additions to their historic content...particularly with a list of 1953-1965 TV personalities on the KFYR-TV page.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to maintain protocol.

Hello Shadowjams. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of DJ Official, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Signed to a label with an article is a credible assertion of notability for A7.

Actually, you have been VERY helpful. Thanks so much for the tips and Wiki instructions. Should I have occasion to be involved with future edits or additions, I feel like I'll be much better prepared.
Thanks again.

Perhaps you could read a little more about his accomplishments, and possibly re-consider your position. You said that you based it on his having "not been president of the ACA, just a council." But, he WAS Secretary-general of one of the TWO Recognized WORLD governing bodies. The FICS has been determined to be "notable". And, many times, secretaries-general have more power than presidents.

Thank you for your minor corrections to Chamber music. Almost all these changes were fine. You did, however, change two things which were direct quotes. Louis Spohr called his quartets "quatuor brillant" and not "brilliant". And Terry Riley really did say "in order to" and not just "to".
In the future, please do not make editorial changes in direct quotes, unless you know that they have been transcribed incorrectly (by checking the original source).

I just made a minor change to the Data dictionary page, yet, increadibly you backed it out within 30 seconds with the comment: "Reverted addition of dubious unsourced content". The change I made was to say that the "Data dictionary" is commonly also known as a "metadata repository", and, in fact, the metadata page says the same thing. So, in a sense, I was simply cross referencing the two terms.
I find it offensive that you backed out my change so rapidly, withourt a moment's thought - perhaps you have done it via a robot???
My change was so small and so trivial, and self-evident, that I felt there was no need to first enter into a discussion.
On this page you say you are a new contributor. ok so am I. However, I question your expertise on the subject of "Data dictionary" - if you claim to be an expert let me assure you that you have demonstrated you are not, and if you are not an expert then you should not meddle with things you know nothing about.
Finally, I thought that Wikipedia welcomes contributions from all people. Luciano Q. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.173.11.151 ( talk) 10:14, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
You have it backwards, it is the other person who keeps undoing my edits. My edits should stand while the other user goes to dispute resolution should he want to do so. I was discussing my edits with him on his talk page while that person continued to reverse my edits, showing lack of good faith. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdiver68 ( talk • contribs) 05:22, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi,
I saw that you quickly reverted my latest edit on Adamstown,_Pitcairn_Islands. You asked me to provide a source for the controversial statement about Steve Christian being convicted of rape. However this is already on his Wikipedia page along with source references. I didn't introduce this change myself, but merely reverted vandalism claiming that instead of being a former mayor and later convicted felon he is a "calculator programmer". I think this is just some kind of bad joke.
Just trying to help,
Cheers.

Greetings,
Just wonder what make You people so upset that You want to delate my article!? :)
Its kind of funny here. I just started to write articles and specially with the last one on Bohdanow, posted few lines and then when i come back i see the discussion. There are some people that cannot find sources on google and they make some comments that follows. In my opinion, those comments are on similar level that my knowledge in creating articles on Wiki is.
So I make my own comment to show those people the links. Then i see that the discussion continue so I improved this page a lot to hopefully end it all when i see You comment that You still want to delate that page! And this makes me wonder here! What wrong did I or my page to You so You want to delate it!?
I have certain picture of why i want to write such article, do You know at all why You want to deleate it? It would be very interesting for me to know and to learn the Wiki policy about creating articles! Cause all You do is following the policy? Creating creative comments?
Im very open for suggestions so...if You please read the article again (since im not sure You read the article before posting Your last comment), then tell me exactly why and on what ground You want to delaete this page! As for incubition, I dont know what that is...

Hi there. I just noticed your !vote at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Taelus doesn't have a # in front of it to differentiate from the previous.

Hello. I just wanted to let you know I removed the speedy tag from Decennium (Fly to the Sky album). Granted, that article needs to be fleshed out but CSD A9 requires that the artist's article not exist. In this case the article doesn't qualify for speedy because the artist's article does exist.

Thank you. I actually do have an account ( User:SWAdair) that I rarely log into any more. I've gotten into the habit of pulling up Wikipedia and jumping right into editing without taking the time to login.

I am sorry, but I believe you are mistaken. My change was not designed to introduce any incorrect information, and I even cited my reference. What more do you want? It is clear in the reference I cited that the subculture of Straight Edge incorporates abstaining from Promiscuous sex. Wikipedia is the ONLY source that does not mention it, do you have any references that would indicate that abstaining from promiscuous sex is not part of the subculture? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.143.255.85 ( talk) 08:42, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to weigh in on my RfA. It was successful, in that the community's wish not to grant me the tools at this time was honored. I'm taking all the comments as constructive feedback and hope to become more valuable to the project as a result; I've also discovered several new areas in which to work.
