Need your opinion. A relatively new user, User:BigRedTool, added a blatantly self-promotional external link to Western Kentucky University, as seen here. I reverted the inappropriate link and added a {{ uw-spam1}} warning. Now, the user has re-added mention of the publication, but without the external link. That precludes my reverting and issuing a {{ uw-spam2}}. There's a pretty evident COI here, and from what I can tell, the publication itself isn't officially affiliated with the university. I'm struggling a bit to come up with a concise edit summary for my revert as well as an appropriate warning for the user in question. Perhaps a non-template warning is in order. I'm just trying to avoid biting the newcomers, even though I'm relatively sure this one has more of an interest in self-promotion than in improving the encyclopedia as a whole. Your suggestions? Acdixon ^{( talk • contribs • count)} 18:28, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

I just reverted the newest edit and issued a warning using the {{ uw-coi}} template. If the user continues, I'll report it to the COI noticeboard. Thanks, Willking1979 ( talk) 18:36, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello, you currently have an Editor review request listed on the main page, although it has failed to gain comments, are you still interested in having it open, if so or if not please acknowledge me of that to make a proper archival of the nomination. Thanks.-- TRU CO 22:35, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Since it has been about two months, go ahead and archive it. Sincerely, Willking1979 ( talk) 22:56, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay, done. If you wish to receive a future review, don't hesitate to reopen a new review.-- TRU CO 23:11, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry you didn't get any comments on your editor review, but for what it's worth, I think you're a good editor! :) Acdixon ^{( talk • contribs • count)} 02:48, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment...An IPer did leave a question which seemed to be more fitting on an RfA rather than on an editor review. There were some vandalism as well on the page. Willking1979 ( talk) 02:52, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I must object to your warning of me regarding the Denim (Band) page. You even chose to use obnoxious language to me saying it was vandalism. This was shear spite and bad manners on your part. All I was doing was splitting a pages which had two subjects into two separate pages. Nothing was removed from wikipedia, just moved to the two new pages. Now I may have been wrong to do that, but in no way was that vandalism. Declan ( talk) 00:56, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I do apologize for the warnings. However, please discuss any major changes on the article's talk page. Thanks, Willking1979 ( talk) 01:06, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Make no mistake, I appreciate your speedy fixing of real vandalism, but not every edit is vandalism. I added a split tag to the article. By the way, on a tiny out of the way article like that, I really do not see any reason to discuss major changes like that. There is no one to discuss them with. 199.125.109.102 ( talk) 01:58, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I realize that not every edit is vandalism. Huggle just looks for patterns of vandalism and you go with your first instinct. If I made errors, I try to correct them. Regarding major changes, there are over 1600 admins and thousands, if not millions, of other trusted users ready to discuss major changes. Willking1979 ( talk) 02:19, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

This is the first article created by an editor, who apparently copied all the templates that were at the top of Dragon Ball. I would strongly suggest that you take a second to look at why an edit is being done before simply assuming, incorrectly, that it is vandalism. 199.125.109.102 ( talk) 01:01, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I apologize for any inconvenience. Someone else has just redirected the Dragon Ball Kai article to the main Dragon Ball article. Thanks, Willking1979 ( talk) 01:09, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I noticed that. If you look at the template at the bottom of Dragon Ball there is a link to subarticles for each episode, even though they do not exist. Correction, there are tons of Dragon Ball episode articles. I am surprised that anyone took issue with the Dragon Ball Kai article. 199.125.109.102 ( talk) 02:00, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

On Monday, March 9, 2009, I created the article Appalachian music after reading the WikiProject Appalachia page. Someone attempted to restore the redirect to Old-time music, telling me that there was very little information. I undid that edit. However, they were correct regarding the amount of information in the article. Thus, I have a proposal: if we can, we can work together to improve and expand the Appalachian music article. If you know anyone who can help out with the article, please let them know. If you are interested in assisting, have questions, want to talk, etc., feel free to put something on my talk page.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated. TTS51207 ( talk) 15:46, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I just placed a music stub template to the bottom of the article and corrected a spelling error. I would strongly prefer that you add refs to the article as well. I really do believe that Appalachian music deserves an article because it is very influential in many music genres. I'll help as much as I can in getting this article to a full version. Thanks for all you do, Willking1979 ( talk) 16:05, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

That's great! Thanks for your help. I will try to get some refs in ASAP. TTS51207 ( talk) 16:57, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Testing for account creation Willking1979 ( talk) 21:56, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your interest in helping users create accounts. I'm pleased to advise you that your request has been approved. Please read WP:ACCG before using the system. You can log in at http://stable.toolserver.org/acc/acc.php.

For the moment you will be limited to creating 6 accounts per day, and you won't be able to create an account with a similar name to that of another user. If you find yourself running into this limit frequently, please request the accountcreator permission at WP:RPE. Stifle ( talk) 09:51, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I've noticed that you've declined couple of account requests as too similar to existing accounts, created >2 years ago and with no contributions. As I understand, in case if the similar account is inactive, account creation is permitted. I'm just curiuos about your rationale to decline. Thanks, Skarebo ( talk) 02:56, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Since it was my first day, I may have been confused. When I tried to send e-mail to the users each time, there was a pink warning box telling me the name was similar. I was looking at the guide several times but did not find a clear solution. I did upgrade to "account creator" status as part of my Wiki user rights later in the day. It could be because I did not have that status early on. I am still learning the ropes and apologize for any inconvenience. Willking1979 ( talk) 09:20, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Ah, it's not a big problem. I'm learning stuff myself, so I was curious how other account creators deal with questionable situations. Apparently, in case of similar inactive account it's usually ok to create it. Now we know. :) Skarebo ( talk) 11:53, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Like you, I'll continue to learn as I go. If I have a situation or problem with an account request, I'll simply defer to other users and admins. Willking1979 ( talk) 12:08, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't know how this works, so I'll just post here and assume that you'll be able to see it.

You know, the blocks were from 10 months and before that. There were 5 total. Most of them were very controversial and caused a lot of disputes among regulars at Wikipedia. One of the blocking admin is currently at ArbCom for abusing his ops. The actual notyet link has nothing to do what you intend, but regardless of that - if not yet after 10 months, then it really is not yet either, no? Ottava Rima ( talk) 20:54, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

While I believe you have made very constructive contribs, the fact of the matter is this: There are indeed issues with your RFA. The block log speaks for itself. Many of your opposers have mentioned legit concerns about incivility. In addition, you have not mentioned in the intro about the BLP issues facing Wikipedia. Accurate BLPs about notable people are crucial to the future of Wikipedia. If you do not like to delete pages, then you should not have run for adminship. There are many BLPs that need to be deleted by admins because they are not notable. Not yet is not yet. Willking1979 ( talk) 21:09, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

No one asked about BLP issues. If you want to know my work on them, you can easily see such on my user page. I successfully negotiated the improvements of Rosalind Picard and ended a lot of fighting while substantially improving the page. My stance on BLPs has always been well known, hence why most people don't bother mentioning it. Ottava Rima ( talk) 22:01, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

What is your take on FlaggedRevs? What about liberal or univeral use of semi-protection of BLPs? Willking1979 ( talk) 22:32, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

I was one of the first supporters for FlaggedRevisions then I opposed it when they wanted to expand it beyond BLP and some certain areas. I think it will cause problems and be messy. Sure, it would protect a lot, but it would also slow down a lot. I haven't seen a trial so I don't know if the costs outweigh the benefits. I proposed (it would be as interesting as FR) an idea that if we limit sources to only those older than a month we would be able to cut down on most of the problems. A lot of the BLP issues are from recent news and everyone trying to add it but each person has their own take. The Palin page was a complete disgrace whenever a new thing hit the air. A month would allow corrections, errors to be revealed, etc. But yeah, it will never happen. The dangerous problem with BLPs are POV, which will probably slip through Flagged Revisions. Blatant vandalism and bad claims will be stopped, but subtle attacks will get through, especially if partisans monitor the FRs. Ottava Rima ( talk) 23:07, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

That is all I wanted to know. Anyone who runs for adminship should state their position on BLPs at the outset. You should have addressed BLPs in your intro. Because of this, along with the issues I already discussed, my oppose still stands. Willking1979 ( talk) 23:29, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't know of any RfAs that address BLP from the outset nor have I seen you opposing those others. I will be sure to link the above statement with your blatant talk page statement on Flagged Revisions so people can be clear that it is more of a unique Soap oppose than an actual fundamental belief. Have a good night. Ottava Rima ( talk) 01:09, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Even if FlaggedRevs was not invented, I would still oppose your RfA because of the incivility issues. Willking1979 ( talk) 01:17, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Really? Because you don't really spend any time at RfA. It is an odd assortment of RfAs you attend. Does someone email you? Drop you a link? What is your selection process? You never provide any real statement, and half the time you don't elaborate outside of the bold. So why even show up? To support friends and their views? Ottava Rima ( talk) 01:25, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Because of my duties combating vandalism, account creation, and other on-wiki and off-wiki responsibilities, I cannot vote in all RfAs. My selection process is simple: I !vote for people who want to improve Wikipedia. Wikipedia indeed has problems, which does include, of course, BLPs. I could talk all night about other issues like neutrality, notablility, civility, and vandalism (those issues in no particular order). But I rather work at improving the encyclopedia rather than bickering 24/7 over wikipolitics. Everyone on Wikipedia is entitled to put anything clean on their user pages per WP guidelines. The FlaggedRevs banner is compliant with the guidelines and I did not have the banner in mind when !voting against your adminship. Willking1979 ( talk) 01:37, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I never said the banner was wrong, so you can forget about that. I removed the "soap" descriptive, as it merely meant that you were taking a strong position on the matter. It doesn't matter. Ottava Rima ( talk) 01:42, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I am glad you took away the description. However it does not take away the issues with your RfA. Willking1979 ( talk) 02:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I didn't come to your talk page thinking that you would change your mind. I simply wanted your statement as to your actual oppose reasoning, which you provided above. That is done, so goodbye. Ottava Rima ( talk) 02:20, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I did not notice the fact tag. I reverted it because the IPer did not include an edit summary. However, if it is completely unsourced, go ahead and remove the paragraph or find reliable sources. Willking1979 ( talk) 02:25, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Go ahead. Give us something notable about him. Provide references wherever you can to back up what you say. WadeSimMiser ( talk) 01:12, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

I second the motion, Wade. Willking1979 ( talk) 01:13, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

He wasnt Tom Cruise by any means but hes a famous local. Not sure if there are news articles about him. What else can I do? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kozmo1 ( talk • contribs) 01:14, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

What may be missing is a link to Wikipedia's guidelines on what notability is. Here you go: Wikipedia:Notability (people). It'll explain in good detail what needs to be done to establish notability for someone- Tom Cruise or Joe Schmoe. tedder ( talk) 01:16, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, Tedder for helping me out. Willking1979 ( talk) 01:18, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the work, though if you have a second please consider my note here. Thanks! Nja ²⁴⁷ 20:19, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments. From time to time I go through the user creation log and look for username vios. I'll be more careful next time. Willking1979 ( talk) 20:22, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

No it's cool and I'm glad you do it. I just wanted to let you know that the names were not immediately blatant violations that required immediate action. It's possible (admittedly marginally) that they may end up editing completely in good faith, which is why it's best to wait in those cases where it's not clear cut (especially with no edit history). Do keep it up though, and now you'll do even better work! Cheers. Nja ²⁴⁷ 20:31, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks once again...keep up the good work. :) Willking1979 ( talk) 20:44, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

What was unconstructive about my last edit? I added referenced information about basque and spanish involvement, why is that vandalism?-- 94.192.227.195 ( talk) 00:27, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I may have screwed up on that one...I'll look at the edit. Willking1979 ( talk) 00:28, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

That'd be grand-- 94.192.227.195 ( talk) 00:30, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I undone my own edit and your warning upon further review. I apologize for the inconvenience. Willking1979 ( talk) 00:32, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Were all human. For future reference, had I done something wrong in how I'd formatted the reference?-- 94.192.227.195 ( talk) 00:34, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I am not sure. However, it is a good thing to go to WP:CITE to find out how to cite sources. Thanks, Willking1979 ( talk) 00:35, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I have nominated Robley Rex, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robley Rex. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Fol de rol troll ( talk) 14:10, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I wasn't sure what to classify the page. Thanks, Willking1979 ( talk) 19:41, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
