I noticed the article John Devitt, and you cited a book called "Australia at the Olympic Games" by Malcolm Andrews. Is it a published book with an ISBN and all that?

Justin Langer shows up as an Australian Roman Catholic, Mark Taylor as " People of Wagga Wagga" , Clive Lloyd as Freemason, all the Australians have the state/city cat and this cat is APART from the state cricket cat,Phil Tufnell has a Winner of TV program category, David Gower has "people living in Kent" . So all these categories are not "relevant" from the cricket point of view and not from the individuals personal life point of view either. So where does one start or stop with such categories, why stop at religion and say state/ associations alumni categories not related to cricket are OK ? One should then look to remove all these categories. But then clearly the number of categories impacted would have a large number of people who would want them back, so why are we playing god and saying we cannot put categories related to religion for the cricketers and allowing all these superflous to cricket categories ?

Hi why did you tag the Adelaide University Lacrosse Club article for deletion?
I have tried to fathom what your intent is with this. I am unable to understand how this edit fits in with wikipedia policy. Your comment tag does not make sense to me. "nn university club"
The article was linked from the Adelaide University Sports Association article. It is one of 3 articles I was preparing. The other being the Boat Club and 3rd as yet to be put up Tennis club.
These are the original 3 clubs of the Adelaide University Sports Association and represent a critical period in the development of sport at the University of Adelaide in the 19th Century.

Congrats on your RFA! Sorry your most recent FLC isn't getting too far at the moment: I think it can get there, my concern is that the references don't meet WP:CITE. Fix that and I think you're there: it's certainly extensive and well-researched. I just discovered Charles Floyd (conductor) - yet another part in the great Ron Sorensen spamwave of 2005. (Aren't "user contributions" and "what links here" great for this kind of thing?! Probably worth doing just before you speedy anything...) I slapped a speedy tag on it, there's a prod on Ron Sorensen's sole album, and there's a CFD debate on his "albums" category... this seems to cover the entire series of articles now. But just because it's wonderful and it's all about to be removed from Wikipedia otherwise, I think it's worth including a quote from one of the articles:
“ | This is the first recorded offering from this singer/songwriter. It has heartfelt lyrics that are drawn from personal experiences, past love's, heartbreak's and triumph. Every note skillfully painted into the final masterpiece. If ever there was an album that could be listened to daily, one that contained excerpts mirroring current individual inner trials and tribulations, this is it! A must listen to for all whom have ever experienced heartache, passion for life, and most of all a hunger for change. Ron Sorensen is a hidden treasure among faux talents in a world of mass distributed coffee cup coasters. This CD also offers wonderful artwork designed by Rich Smith [3], a talented musician in his own right and creative force behind the look and feel of the CD's graphic design. While searching for your next musical purchase, you should have Ron Sorensen's, "Someday, Somehow" as your first choice. At Ron's web site [4] there are samples, photo's, a guestbook and link's to purchase this wonderful recording. Give yourself the gift of a great musical experience and your heart will thank you for it! | ” |

I don't suspect this war will fade anytime soon considering that we are dealing with an aggressive POV warrior with a long history of wikistalking and policy violations. I will be filing a RFCU with a good explanation when I have the time, but as of right now it might help if you look at this 3RR violation with which this user has gotten away with so far. YINever 01:22, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
User:YINever is repeated reverting the article The Epoch Times and keeps removing warnings from his talk page even though he has been repeatedly warned for it. See User talk: YINever. User:YINever keeps deleting his talk page warning. User:YINever is currently in a revert war with User:PatCheng at the The Epoch Times article. He keeps reverting without attempting to reach consensus. User:YINever apparently is a new account and intent of deletion of his talk page warnings and revert war over The Epoch Times article. I suspect the other IP address reverting is his sockpuppet. RevolverOcelotX 01:32, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Since this user has a history of exacerbating and retaliating for everything I say anywhere, here is the deal. He knows me from another forum called " GameFAQs" where my primary account is "YINever" and he is known as "Fenriswolf". He is a staunch Maoist and Chinese nationalist who has followed me from arguments on that site pertaining to politics to here, where he shadows every contribution I make. He will likely cite several articles where at best there are content disputes, but in which he does not have any interest in achieving consensus or good content but merely summarily reverts my changes. As for my alleged insults, he will not be able to provide them. The "communist spy" stuff is his inference from my restoring comments he deleted on Talk:The Epoch Times from another user, and I never insulted anyone in his family and this apparently is in reference to a comment he has imagined on GameFAQs, not here. He made this charge the first time he vandalized my user page. [7] Incidentally, this is another demonstration that "PatCheng" has been known by other aliases/IPs, all used for the purpose of stalking me. -- TJive 03:11, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I hope you see the bizarre situation I am placed in. He "isn't" Fenriswolf, but must persist with the same questioning now that PatCheng is blocked for 24 hours.
It's really strange; I've never had any online stalker before this, and nobody on Wikipedia has bothered to intrude so far. -- TJive 04:04, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
See, it's like dealing with a robot. Just makes reports, restates his premises, and never provides real evidence for anything. I provided links to four reverts within the same 24 hour period, he posts a retaliatory report where the reverts are not within the same period, and administrators just ignore both.

You just beat me to reverting that crazy edit to Manmohan Singh!

User:PatCheng is unblocked and is immediately back to summarily reverting all of my contributions (either as TJive or YINever). He has been stalking me like this since last September and has never faced any penalty for it. Look at his contribution list. Within a span of less than half an hour, he reverted everything I edited the other day as well, including existing reverts and work on other articles.
With respect, you were in error to say that there were mutual claims of stalking. I have not been bothering him; he has openly been following me. Now I fear that under "RevolverOcelotX" he is going to utilize a second account to evade 3RR on every single article. He has complete contempt for the rules of this site, which he has just made plain on that forum from which we met:
From: Fenriswolf | Posted: 6/5/2006 8:35:58 PM | Message Detail | #008 And do you know that I don't give a **** about looney wikipedia admins? I can obtain hundreds of IP addresses to revert your trash on wikipedia. [10]
RFCs are not effective. It will quickly come down to a matter of content disputes because there are half a dozen editors of this site which have clashed with me at political articles. This is a completely separate issue, but no one cares to see it for what it is. Is this sort of harassment not considered disruptive? -- TJive 01:45, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Look at the following users: TJive ( talk · contribs) YINever ( talk · contribs) 72.65.77.79 ( talk · contribs)
These people has undone my reverts within the time-period of my edits. They appear to be sockpuppets of the same intended to evade WP:3RR, and an user-check might be necessary. -- PatCheng 01:56, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi Blnguyen... you're probably far too busy to be interested (or lack any interest whatever), but I just thought I'd let you know that WikiProject Beauty Pageants is now open for business :) (and thanks again for fixing that autoblock yesterday) -- Pag eantUpdater 02:16, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I wouldn't hestitate to thwack a user in those circumstances. :) Rebecca 02:42, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
It'd depend on the circumstances, but I'd be inclined to block the account indefinitely, pending review at WP:ANI. If there were no issues raised there, then I'd just thwack the socks as socks of a banned user. Rebecca 05:50, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Unfortunately, no, I can't help you. You're right, it's named after a game, NationStates ( [11]), but not something that has anything to do with GameFAQs unfortunately. Good luck in clearing the mess though. NSL E ( T+ C) at 04:35 UTC ( 2006-06-06)
Yep, I am a long-time member of the forum, although I haven't been very active in quite sometime. What can I help you out with?

This is rediculous. I indeed have several accounts at Gamefaqs, but most of them I have are newly created ones either closed or banned by Gamefaqs moderators. If you look at the details of this Fenriswolf person:
User Name Fenriswolf User ID 538693 Board User Level 34: Icon Awarded to users with at least 1000 Karma. No posting restrictions.

Fenris has been at Gamefaqs for nearly 4 years, whereas I have only stumbled across Gamefaqs in early 2005. I have seen Fenriswolf's posts in the Asia and Japan regional boards, and from the nature of them he seems to be a loyal, unquestioned admirer of the Chinese communist government. Myself however, is an Australian citizen. Although I do not oppose the Chinese government, I support eventual democracy in China, and can at least acknowledges its negative aspects. If I was indeed a mindless follower of the Chinese government, then why didn't I remove entire sections of articles such as Falun Gong and Epoch Times regarding negative aspects of the government? I reverts some of TJive's edits due to his choice of wording, such as his insistance in calling certain governments "regimes", and his tendency to edit without discussion, dismissing me as a stooge of the Chinese government on his user page.. If you look at my edit history, I do not delibrately start any vandalism or edit wars, and has contributed lots to science-fiction and videogame related articles. It's unfair to judge me as a vandal based TJive's hearsay, as I do not have such resources this Fenriswolf person claimed, other than my home computer. What concrete evidence do you have to block me indifinitely, other than TJive's hearsay?-- PatCheng 13:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I just installed Vandal Proof about 20 minutes ago, and due to my inexperience I think I reverted the reverter. Then I tried to rectify the situation and made it worse. Sorry. Adambiswanger1 03:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Blnguyen. Thanks for your response to my speedy deletion nomination of Presbyterian Ladies College, Armadale. I've added {{hangon}} and an explaination to the page. Is there anything else I can do to remove it from the speedy deletion process? Blarneytherinosaur 06:41, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi why did you tag the Adelaide University Lacrosse Club article for deletion?
I have tried to fathom what your intent is with this. I am unable to understand how this edit fits in with wikipedia policy. Your comment tag does not make sense to me. "nn university club"
The article was linked from the Adelaide University Sports Association article. It is one of 3 articles I was preparing. The other being the Boat Club and 3rd as yet to be put up Tennis club.
These are the original 3 clubs of the Adelaide University Sports Association and represent a critical period in the development of sport at the University of Adelaide in the 19th Century.

Congrats on your RFA! Sorry your most recent FLC isn't getting too far at the moment: I think it can get there, my concern is that the references don't meet WP:CITE. Fix that and I think you're there: it's certainly extensive and well-researched. I just discovered Charles Floyd (conductor) - yet another part in the great Ron Sorensen spamwave of 2005. (Aren't "user contributions" and "what links here" great for this kind of thing?! Probably worth doing just before you speedy anything...) I slapped a speedy tag on it, there's a prod on Ron Sorensen's sole album, and there's a CFD debate on his "albums" category... this seems to cover the entire series of articles now. But just because it's wonderful and it's all about to be removed from Wikipedia otherwise, I think it's worth including a quote from one of the articles:
“ | This is the first recorded offering from this singer/songwriter. It has heartfelt lyrics that are drawn from personal experiences, past love's, heartbreak's and triumph. Every note skillfully painted into the final masterpiece. If ever there was an album that could be listened to daily, one that contained excerpts mirroring current individual inner trials and tribulations, this is it! A must listen to for all whom have ever experienced heartache, passion for life, and most of all a hunger for change. Ron Sorensen is a hidden treasure among faux talents in a world of mass distributed coffee cup coasters. This CD also offers wonderful artwork designed by Rich Smith [3], a talented musician in his own right and creative force behind the look and feel of the CD's graphic design. While searching for your next musical purchase, you should have Ron Sorensen's, "Someday, Somehow" as your first choice. At Ron's web site [4] there are samples, photo's, a guestbook and link's to purchase this wonderful recording. Give yourself the gift of a great musical experience and your heart will thank you for it! | ” |

Whilst I admit there was an overwhelmingly sarcastic tone with what I posted, unfortunately most of the information I posted was factual.
Wow, two barnstars in one night! :D Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. Also, a belated congrats on your adminship :).-- Shanel § 04:05, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Can you explain why you deleted this article? see also [5]. I restored it. -- Haham hanuka 07:04, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
That many huh? Well the figure might be a little bloated due to the fact that deleting images record a log entry for every revison of the image, if an image have 10 versions when you delete it it will generate 10 entries in the deletion log. I also mostly delete images rather than articles (orphan fair use, no source, redundantes etc), but thanks all the same :) -- Sherool (talk) 07:59, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
I was wondering if you need help in creating content by yourself instead of being another "meter-maid" giving out tickets to real contribuitors. Cuyaya
Why thanks. As you might have guessed, it's mainly images. I use a script, so it takes only a few seconds per image for most of them. Editcounts arn't everything. But thanks anyway. If I can be of help in anything, let me know. JesseW, the juggling janitor 17:43, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello
The user InShaneee has threaten to block me. When I will add Image:Babykilledbypkk.jpg in an article I will be blocked. He shows no reason. He just says he will block me. Please do something. Ruzgar 18:43, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I think you should close the other Eurovision afd's (UK in eurovision xxxx and romanian in eurovision xxxx), because it is silly to allow the 2006 years but then deny older years that mention national finals (United Kindom Eurovision set),
Many thanks for the barnstar. I was surprised that I had clocked up so many - other people seem to be clearing CAT:CSD pretty efficiently nowadays. -- RHaworth 07:05, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't suspect this war will fade anytime soon considering that we are dealing with an aggressive POV warrior with a long history of wikistalking and policy violations. I will be filing a RFCU with a good explanation when I have the time, but as of right now it might help if you look at this 3RR violation with which this user has gotten away with so far. YINever 01:22, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
User:YINever is repeated reverting the article The Epoch Times and keeps removing warnings from his talk page even though he has been repeatedly warned for it. See User talk: YINever. User:YINever keeps deleting his talk page warning. User:YINever is currently in a revert war with User:PatCheng at the The Epoch Times article. He keeps reverting without attempting to reach consensus. User:YINever apparently is a new account and intent of deletion of his talk page warnings and revert war over The Epoch Times article. I suspect the other IP address reverting is his sockpuppet. RevolverOcelotX 01:32, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Since this user has a history of exacerbating and retaliating for everything I say anywhere, here is the deal. He knows me from another forum called " GameFAQs" where my primary account is "YINever" and he is known as "Fenriswolf". He is a staunch Maoist and Chinese nationalist who has followed me from arguments on that site pertaining to politics to here, where he shadows every contribution I make. He will likely cite several articles where at best there are content disputes, but in which he does not have any interest in achieving consensus or good content but merely summarily reverts my changes. As for my alleged insults, he will not be able to provide them. The "communist spy" stuff is his inference from my restoring comments he deleted on Talk:The Epoch Times from another user, and I never insulted anyone in his family and this apparently is in reference to a comment he has imagined on GameFAQs, not here. He made this charge the first time he vandalized my user page. [7] Incidentally, this is another demonstration that "PatCheng" has been known by other aliases/IPs, all used for the purpose of stalking me. -- TJive 03:11, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I hope you see the bizarre situation I am placed in. He "isn't" Fenriswolf, but must persist with the same questioning now that PatCheng is blocked for 24 hours.
It's really strange; I've never had any online stalker before this, and nobody on Wikipedia has bothered to intrude so far. -- TJive 04:04, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
See, it's like dealing with a robot. Just makes reports, restates his premises, and never provides real evidence for anything. I provided links to four reverts within the same 24 hour period, he posts a retaliatory report where the reverts are not within the same period, and administrators just ignore both.

User:62.193.226.74 has just vandalized the Manmohan Singh page again after having been warned by you. I think you're supposed to block them now. Thanks! -- Grace 07:01, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
You just beat me to reverting that crazy edit to Manmohan Singh! Anyway I seem to remember having seen a template somewhere warning users against defamation of living persons in their articles, although I can't seem to find it. The bv warning is fine but don't you think that would be more appropriate in this case? Anyway how was your first week as admin? The CSD was nearly overflowing this weekend without you tackling it! Cheers. Srik e it( talk ¦ ✉) 07:17, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I've looked at your userspace for the first time since I started editing seriously and I thought it badly needs a lot of decorating. Why are the Australian editors so stingy?
I also have experienced my first kerfuffle as an administrator - two users, pro and anti- Chinese Communist Party, strongly appealing for the other to be banned on my talk page. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 07:02, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

User:PatCheng is unblocked and is immediately back to summarily reverting all of my contributions (either as TJive or YINever). He has been stalking me like this since last September and has never faced any penalty for it. Look at his contribution list. Within a span of less than half an hour, he reverted everything I edited the other day as well, including existing reverts and work on other articles.
With respect, you were in error to say that there were mutual claims of stalking. I have not been bothering him; he has openly been following me. Now I fear that under "RevolverOcelotX" he is going to utilize a second account to evade 3RR on every single article. He has complete contempt for the rules of this site, which he has just made plain on that forum from which we met:
From: Fenriswolf | Posted: 6/5/2006 8:35:58 PM | Message Detail | #008 And do you know that I don't give a **** about looney wikipedia admins? I can obtain hundreds of IP addresses to revert your trash on wikipedia. [10]
RFCs are not effective. It will quickly come down to a matter of content disputes because there are half a dozen editors of this site which have clashed with me at political articles. This is a completely separate issue, but no one cares to see it for what it is. Is this sort of harassment not considered disruptive? -- TJive 01:45, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Look at the following users: TJive ( talk · contribs) YINever ( talk · contribs) 72.65.77.79 ( talk · contribs)
These people has undone my reverts within the time-period of my edits. They appear to be sockpuppets of the same intended to evade WP:3RR, and an user-check might be necessary. -- PatCheng 01:56, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi Blnguyen... you're probably far too busy to be interested (or lack any interest whatever), but I just thought I'd let you know that WikiProject Beauty Pageants is now open for business :) (and thanks again for fixing that autoblock yesterday) -- Pag eantUpdater 02:16, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I wouldn't hestitate to thwack a user in those circumstances. :) Rebecca 02:42, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
It'd depend on the circumstances, but I'd be inclined to block the account indefinitely, pending review at WP:ANI. If there were no issues raised there, then I'd just thwack the socks as socks of a banned user. Rebecca 05:50, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Unfortunately, no, I can't help you. You're right, it's named after a game, NationStates ( [11]), but not something that has anything to do with GameFAQs unfortunately. Good luck in clearing the mess though. NSL E ( T+ C) at 04:35 UTC ( 2006-06-06)
Yep, I am a long-time member of the forum, although I haven't been very active in quite sometime. What can I help you out with? Just as a warning, I can't really commit to anything big until after 00:00 Wednesday as I have a busy day tomorrow (Tuesday). If it is something small, I can try to help sooner than that.-- PS2pcGAMER ( talk) 05:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
This is rediculous. I indeed have several accounts at Gamefaqs, but most of them I have are newly created ones either closed or banned by Gamefaqs moderators. If you look at the details of this Fenriswolf person:

Fenris has been at Gamefaqs for nearly 4 years, whereas I have only stumbled across Gamefaqs in early 2005. I have seen Fenriswolf's posts in the Asia and Japan regional boards, and from the nature of them he seems to be a loyal, unquestioned admirer of the Chinese communist government. Myself however, is an Australian citizen. Although I do not oppose the Chinese government, I support eventual democracy in China, and can at least acknowledges its negative aspects. If I was indeed a mindless follower of the Chinese government, then why didn't I remove entire sections of articles such as Falun Gong and Epoch Times regarding negative aspects of the government? I reverts some of TJive's edits due to his choice of wording, such as his insistance in calling certain governments "regimes", and his tendency to edit without discussion, dismissing me as a stooge of the Chinese government on his user page.. If you look at my edit history, I do not delibrately start any vandalism or edit wars, and has contributed lots to science-fiction and videogame related articles. It's unfair to judge me as a vandal based TJive's hearsay, as I do not have such resources this Fenriswolf person claimed, other than my home computer. What concrete evidence do you have to block me indifinitely, other than TJive's hearsay?-- PatCheng 13:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
