Perhaps you can help me? I just want to produce quality consistent articles. If I continue to get disruptions I will give up and leave the articles inconsistent and incomplete as they were, when I threw up my hands up a year ago. I want to write accurate, understanding information and have no interest in wikiwars. Your help is appreciated. stilltim ( talk) 22:16, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Is it possible to get a mass deletion of a certain group of articles? I am talking like 200 articles. We have been trying to send them all to AFD but that will just backlog the whole process. User:Stilltim has created so many forks of pages. Mostly they are the same as the original page with one or two sentences changed. What can be done about this?
See Also: [3] -- gordonrox24 ( talk) 00:01, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- Deleting them is not a problem at all. Would take me a half hour or so, but the mechanics of it aren't difficult. However there has been no decision to delete them all. If they truly are all the same, you need to bundle them, or at least some subset of them (say 20) into a mass AfD nomination (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#How to list multiple related pages for deletion) and then, using that subset as representative of the larger class, ask for deletion of them all. Getting the decision to delete a few through separate AfDs results in some precedent for a future mass nomination but you need to be transparent, directly calling for people to debate the merits of deleting the whole class. Once you get a decision to delete them all, an admin will take care of it.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 00:15, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- I have tangled with User:Stilltim in the past. In these cases, as you can tell from User:Stilltim's few responses, the user has taken it upon him/herself as the sole authority over all of these articles. (The same happened with articles about politicians from Delaware.) Contrary to WP:EGO and WP:MANDARINS. To that user, consensus is a burden. Alas, that user perhaps would be better suited to owning his/her own Wikipedia instead of one that is edited by multiple people. I grew tired of dealing with the user, and I am relieved to see that other people are having the same burdensome problems. I can't (won't) get involved this time except to relay to you, Gordonrox24, that this is an old score being played again. Good luck to you. — Markles 02:22, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

I believe he was referring to your AfD, where you didn't make it clear that you were asking for a class of articles to be deleted. I have, so it doesn't really apply. Thanks for putting me in the loop anyway. Ironholds ( talk) 12:06, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

I have done my level best, with complete sincerity, to address the concerns expressed about having this data on various accounts, etc, etc. I have almost built the 23rd United States Congress to display and will still finish it. However, it then took less than an hour for a user (Markles) to completely undo the work and restore the unattractive, confused and incomplete article proceeding. I really need some serious help by anyone that cares about getting this right because I honestly am feeling persecuted and will soon give up my efforts. stilltim (talk) 19:13, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Why did you remove the catalog section on the roblox page? that took me all night to make Jeremjay24 ( talk) 15:18, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
In answer to your question I was unaware of protocols re: User talk response. My wish was to clear copyright on a photo and had previously corresponded with Beeblebrox. I did not fully understand how to follow-up with a new question hence I made the mistake of adding to a previous thread instead of starting a new section. If the action is to be considered vandalism then I can only add in my defense that it was unintentional and a failure on my part to appreciate the proper protocols regarding communication.

Sorry Gordon. New to this. I deleted your section when i was trying to insert my pieve above yours, just after the main section. Apologies and please add again —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.70.219.72 ( talk) 18:56, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
Sorry if my user was used to vandalise the Einsatzgruppen page. We were in a History lesson and some prat called ryan young(youngster14) decided to select the entire page and press delete. He then saved the changes. Im sorry for any problems this event has caused you and i think i shall keep my accout logged in only at home. Again, sorry for any inconvienience.

Don't be discouraged by the poor turnout of your RfA; I agree that you havent proven yourself yet, but in my opinion you're a lot further along that path than a lot of other people who've nominated themselves for adminship and expected to win. You might be interested in reading through Wikipedia:Unsuccessful_adminship_candidacies_(Chronological) and Wikipedia:Successful_requests_for_adminship to get an idea of how candidates for adminship are judged. Soap Talk/ Contributions 23:28, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed with Soap. Keep up the good job, and in due time, you can try again. Do not be in a hurry and do not set a deadline for it. It is counterproductive. And keep in mind that there is a LOT of good work you can do without the tools :) Benders Game 23:32, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi Gordon. Due to the comments at the request, unfortunately it was clear that it had no chance of succeeding at this point, and thus I have withdrawn the RfA per WP:NOTNOW. Please follow the advice in your RfA, particularly the helpful advice from IMatthew ( talk · contribs), and perhaps try again in 4-8 months. Best wishes, PeterSymonds ( talk) 23:37, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
- I hadn't noticed that you had an RFA posted. Next time, let me know if you want an honest evaluation if you have a chance. I've been there before, obviously. I've nominated several people. I'm not offering a nomination, just trying to be helpful. I do think you're doing good work but are not close to being ready for RFA yet.

Good article. I'm willing to mentor you; I've done several myself. Mark Martin would be a good choice since you look interested! I can probably find some sources for his ASA career and probably something about the year or 2 that he spent racing as a local driver in Wisconsin.

I see in my earlier comment that I was talking about "serious article editing". I used poor wording. I didn't mean to say that you were not serious about editing! I was referring to high-level and very visible editing to make Good and Featured Articles. Sorry that it came out wrong! Royal broil 15:20, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
