Revision as of 23:06, 22 May 2014
Barek is tired of wikidrama, and has chosen to spend more time in the real world; but may still wander back online occasionally. During this time, replies to queries may be greatly delayed. |

The admin kitty
It is true that being an admin is serious biznis, but can you tell me how to create an effective user page? ( please don't warn/block me for asking, I really don't know!) Spyro571 (talk) 21:07, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Chicago
Thanks for stepping in. Haven't been on WP that long (only really since January, although I did one edit a few years ago), and wasn't sure how to proceed with someone who kept re-adding content that at least 3 other editors reverted. Being new to this, is there something I should have done differently? Or should I have contacted an admin? Thanks for any direction you can give. Onel5969 (talk) 23:30, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
- The user should be warned about WP:NPOV, I can take care of that. Also, be careful not to step over WP:3RR yourself. Worst case, if disruption continues, you can post the issue at WP:ANI. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 23:33, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. Sorry about the 3RR rule. What should I do, in a situation such as this, when I've reverted it twice, and other editors have reverted it multiple times, and yet the other person simply continues to re-enter the info? I want to follow the established protocol. My initial revert told him it was uncited, and non-neutral, but he simply re-entered the same information. Same thing when another editor told him it was redundant info included elsewhere in the article. (and thanks for taking care of the NPOV warning) Onel5969 (talk) 23:39, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
- If another user breaks WP:3RR, you can submit a report to WP:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. You can also start a discussion about the content on the article talk page, giving the other user an opportunity to reply to concerns about their edits.
- I'm hoping that now that I've warned the user on their user talk page, they'll either recognize the problem with their edits and either improve the existing text or at least take to the article talk page to discuss the edits. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 23:50, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Willis Tower on tourism page
Barek,
I don't understand why you deleted my posting in the tourist section of Chicago. I am from Chicago originally (lived there 29 years). I mentioned the Willis Tower and the cool glass balcony as a tourist destination for people to read. It's to help tourists find something to do. What I wrote is factual and not biased in any way.
Can you tell me how I can word my posting to your liking so its not deleted?
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lester12483 (talk • contribs) 00:18, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
- @Lester12483: Hi. First, Barek didn't delete your post... 4 other editors have been deleting that same post, and giving their reasons each time it's deleted. There are basically 3 problems with your post. First, it's not referenced; when you add information to Wikipedia, always try to provide the source where you got that information, and it should be a reliable source (e.g. a reputable newspaper or book, rather than some fly-by-night blog). You can get information on using citations at WP:CITE. Second, it's not neutral. You use fluff phrases like "spectacular"... you can get information on this type of verbiage at WP:PEACOCK. Third, and this will get this entry deleted regardless of the other two facts, it's redundant. The information you're attempting to include is already in the article, in the section about architecture. I hope this helps. One last thing, I noticed you once again added the edit. Please self-revert it, or I'll ask another editor to do it. (Barek - Sorry I responded on your page, I thought the post was on Chicago's talk page - I would have deleted, but know you're not supposed to do that on another editor's talk page) Onel5969 (talk) 00:45, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
thanks
Thanks for the cleanup. I pissed off the wrong IP I guess :) Gaijin42 (talk) 03:26, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
Sock troubles
MonteDaCunca (talk · contribs) is obviously a sock of banned user PennySeven (talk · contribs). I'm tagging and reverting his disruptive comments. LK (talk) 08:06, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

About removing external links from Defiance (TV series)
How is it inappropriate to add links to pages about the Defiance Languages in the page dedicated to Defiance? Respectfully. Najahho (talk) 18:15, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) SalocinKlaus WP:ELNO is the answer #1 and #12 in particular. Gaijin42 (talk) 18:27, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
- The wiki featured there is unique, it is the only respectable and serious source for the Defiance languages besides David Peterson himself! Also anyone is welcome to feature an article about the languages but I don't see that happening :/ It meets the criteria! Najahho (talk) 18:34, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
- Also you removed the Languages Defiance Wiki but left the Defiance Wiki there!? They are part of the same thing! And please, do not insult because I've never insulted you. Najahho (talk) 18:40, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
- Did I insult you? I liked you directly to the policy for why your link was deleted. This is not the official website for the show, and the site does not meet the standards for a WP:RS as it is entirely user generated content. There are wikis for star wars, game of thrones, star trek, and almost every other show out there, and our articles do not link to them. In any case I deleted nor left nothing, I am just informing you as to why something happened. Gaijin42 (talk) 18:46, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
- You insulted me when you called me "stalker", you don't know me, so please don't label me. Yes, that might be true, but you left the Defiance Wiki link intact, and this is the same. Either it all goes or it all stays, you see what I mean? And by the way... isn't this Wikipedia user generated? Or do robots write the articles? I edit on both the Defiance Wiki and the Defiance Languages Wiki and I can tell you I put my best there. Najahho (talk) 19:03, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
- Gaijin42 called themself a "talk page stalker" (also known as a "talk page watcher"). The term is linked to a page that shows how that term is defined on Wikipedia. As I mention in the header-block of this page, I welcome the assistance of talk page stalkers in replying to posts on this page. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:08, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
