Sorry
I reverted to an older version thinking I was removing the Britney Spears line from the Oprah article but accidentally I put it back in. I got confused with all the edits. I tried to correct my mistake but you beat me to do it. 99.224.137.2 (talk) 23:52, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Musical album reviews
A few questions.
1. Does Wikipedia state anywhere that there is a limit on the amount of bias a review can contain, as long as we lay the information out neutrally?
2. If you apply a link to an article, does that count as contributing that information to the article, or is it separate? In other words, if I were to add a completely biased link to an article for a review, would it be allowed, or would the link have to be removed because it violates WP:NPOV?
Also, one more: Is refusing to reach a consensus on a talk page grounds for a ban? Because I think a user just threatened to attempt to get me banned, because I will not agree with his own logic. Thanks in advance. --The Guy complain edits 01:31, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the swift reply!
- 1. I don't know for sure. I think that as long as the source is generally reliable, and our article is neutral, it doesn't really matter.
- That's what I thought. I have a user trying to tell me that the amount of bias an article we link could potentially damage the article, which I believe could be true except for the fact that Wikipedia has no scales on that. You'd have to use your own judgment and that would be a violation of WP:OR, I think.
- 2. A link, as in a reference or an external link?
- An external link. Like the format for linking a review (Example: *Publication name/Review score/External link)
- 3. No, absolutely not. On any talk page, as long as you stay on topic, remain civil, refrain from making personal attacks, and do not edit war on the main article to instate your preferred version, you will never be blocked.
- Also what I thought. I really don't know what the user is implying. He accused me of being purely antagonistic (as in not wanting to serve the article's purposes, but my own), he accused me of vandalism, and then he said something like "if you don't stop, I will have to bring a high power into the fold, because you're out of hand." (I don't remember the exact quote)
- 4. I would be interested to know... Which article are you talking about?
- Same one I've come to you with three times now -- Indestructible.
- The story is that he's questioning the bias of a review that was submitted, saying that the reviewer had clear bias, and that it would damage the article. I think the article needs the neutral score, because as it stands, there's 3 neutral scores, against 5 positive. So anyways, he's telling me "you can't just add a link to a review that's blatantly bias against the band, that's damaging." I asked him to link me to where Wikipedia defines "blatantly biased," because as far as I see, Wikipedia only mentions the word bias, it has no scales of degree, so he'd have to be using his own judgment to define how bias it is -- a violation of WP:OR. So instead of simply either linking me to a guideline where Wikipedia defines levels of bias, or telling me that Wikipedia doesn't, he tells me "it would be absurd to even consider that Wikipedia adds things that are blatantly bias." Again no link, just more original research, back with some talk of common sense -- to me, that's not viable or convincing. It's continued like that -- Me asking him to link me to various policies he's describing, only for him to say things like "I don't have to, your argument is so nonsensical, and mine makes sense." I want to settle the issue, but is he's defining things like measures of bias himself, I'm not going to let that take away from the neutrality of the article, and now its to the point where he's assuming bad faith, and accusing me of being purely antagonistic, with no helpful motives. --The Guy complain edits 01:53, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- I just replied to the comment you made on the talk page of the article in question, you might want to read over my comment, and re-read the discussion. I suppose I never clarified that said discussion was about 2 reviews. One was the Rolling Stone review (which we resolved) and the other about the IGN review (which is the one in question for bias). --The Guy complain edits 02:14, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Legal threats against me
So! Today brought my first legal threats. I think the lawyers of Cristina Schultz have been removing factual, sourced content that they believe to be slander (although it is perfect NPOV) against her, from the article. Diff They vandalized my user page, diff and also the RFPP page diff (which they had added a request to earlier diff after three times I reverted their removal of content). I placed the following message on the IP's talk page [2], referring them to the NLT page. Do you feel that that was appropriate? Also, is there anything else I should do that I haven't done? Thanks! miquonranger03 (talk) 02:37, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
My Talk Page
Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page. It was a bit amusing I checked the history when I saw it, and by the time I had gone to revert, you already had gotten to it. Thanks :) - Unforgiven24 (talk) 14:50, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
It's getting silly, various editors can't even make up their mind. I've put in a protection request. Is there any danger of me getting blocked for 3RR if this carries on and I revert more? Thanks Doug Weller (talk) 17:31, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Your entry on my Talk page`
Greetings, J.delanoy. Thank you for your observations. Please review the following (from a post to one of the challenging editors' Talk page) and advise. Begging everyone's pardon that I was *not* the one who started this firestorm/flame-out (or whatever the proper cyber term for it is), I merely made to parallel edits to two related articles in similar character to dozens if not scores of other ones like them I have made in the past. It was the immdediate and hair-trigger responses of the two hot-tempered "editors" which turned everything nuclear.
Here goes:
Bob Ross deletions
Please be specific about what you objected to in the deletions and why. Thank you. Wikiuser100 (talk) 19:46, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- They were inappropriate removals of properly sourced, relevant content, in particular you removed basic biographical information from a biographical article for no valid reason. Do not repeat such actions. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:48, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- Number one, mind your tone. You are acting *VERY* imperiously and not in keeping with the Wikipedia community ethic. Number two, I was very clear why I deleted the content: it did not contribute to the article; moreover, it was not up to Wikipedia standards (using only first names for wives as if readers are or should be familiar with them on that basis). If you would like to research and rewrite the content in question, please do, but do go around weilding authority in the threatening fashion that you are. When you rewrite it, please integrate why these marriages and their outcomes are relevant to the article and Mr. Ross' career. Thank you.Wikiuser100 (talk) 20:01, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- Number one, stop vandalizing articles, period or get blocked. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 20:02, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
I am not vandalizing articles: I was very clear why I made the edits I did. You, on the other hand, have an attitude. Viz your own User page:
"These articles are ones that are of special interest to me, but that I may have only made minor contributions too, or where my editing has been limited to mostly vandal smacking.
....Bob Ross - grew up watching him and use his painting technique; his article is unfortunately frequently vandalized by childish idiots"
I am not a "childish idiot". I did not vandalize the page. Please provide your rank and authority as a Wikipedia editor to make the threats towards me that you are. Thank you.Wikiuser100 (talk) 20:13, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- You did vandalize this article and Joy of Painting, hence multiple editors reverting your wholly inappropriate removal of valid, sourced content. If you remove valid content from either article again, you will be reported to the administrators for blocking. Period. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 20:14, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- I did not vandalize it. My reasons are clear; your defense is not. You are not an administrator, yet you threaten as if you are one. You should be blocked the way you treat another Wikipedian: this is not how the community is supposed to act and react towards one-another. Please advise the proper procedure for escalating this difference of opinion so that the matter may be amicably resolved with the assistance of a moderator. Thank you.Wikiuser100 (talk) 20:34, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- The best way is for an admin who happens to have this talk page watchlisted to drop in and suggest that everyone takes a deep breath and calms down for a little bit. Wikiuser100, the best way to go about discussing article content is to take it to the article talk page and bring in other editors for a civil discussion about the benefits to the article of a) removing the information, or b) leaving it and improving sourcing. Generally, it's better to improve an article by adding sources, than it is to just delete, in my view. Repeatedly deleting when other editors are trying to engage you in discussion is often considered disruptive, and I can understand the warnings you received in this case. Please discuss rationally with involved editors on the article talk page to find consensus. Thanks. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:39, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for dropping in, Tony, and your calming words. Point of clarification, however: I was not the one doing multiple deleting/undoing, and other editors did not engage me to discuss things before making threats: I had simply made similar changes to both the Bob Ross and its related Joy of Painting page: in the first case to seek to clean up a below Wikipedia standard paragraph on Ross' marriages - which did not bring anything germane to the article as presented, employing only wives first names and adding divorce and in one case death date but without establishing any relevance to the subject of the article, Bob Ross; I also deleted what amounts to a promotional/pop cultural reference to a video game that has not been produced and is only being "shopped around" after being rejected by a major manufacturer. Similarly, this does not meet Wikipedia standards for relevance.
The edits to the Joy of Painting page were parallel: first, deleting the above - which is not an actual product, just a concept being pitched -, and second deleting trivial pop cultural references to minor parodies of Ross's personna and work. None of this content was significant (or would warrant a page of its own), and its removal was not injurious to the articles; rather, it streamlined and kept them more relevant rather than less.
It was the reactions of the two editors who near instantaneously posted their hostile and threatening rebukes on my Talk page within moments of one-another that started the firestorm. It is not cricket at all for such pedestrians - like myself - to go around making imperious threats and posting intimidating looking icons next to them to increase their apparent authority and bully a timid editor into submission, in one case invoking automatic "vandalism" reversion software to enforce their unilateral decisions to not challenge, partially incorporate, or improve but imperiously overrule my edit - which has just as much validity as their own.
So, now we take to the article talk pages, but how do we end up anywhere else? I have made clear to both editors who undid my edits why I made those I did - even invited one to do a rewrite - and still hold to my views. They, evidently, to theirs. How do we move forward? Thank you.Wikiuser100 (talk) 21:08, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
-end of entry-
I hope this makes it clearer for you just who ignited the firestorm - though their whys remain unclear; my reasons have been given. Please advise on the best way to proceded. Thank you.Wikiuser100 (talk) 21:23, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- You have been told several times now how to proceed -- on the article talk pages to seek consensus from the Wikipedia community. Please stop the wikidrama, it is perfectly permissible for editors to leave cautions and warnings on another user's talk page when that user's edits are done in such a way that they appear to be vandalism. – ukexpat (talk) 21:28, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- It is clear from your continued hostility that we are not going to accomplish anything meaningful trying to arrive at "consensus" at the user pages for either the Bob Ross article (guarded against the actions of "idiots" by Collectonian) or the Joy of Painting (policed equally assiduously by yourself). Please see my expanded comments at Colectonian's Talk page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Collectonian as a point of departure.
- And, no, the edits that started off this tempest in a teapot were not vandalism. My reasons for the parallel deletions were stated in the Edit summary field at both relevant websites. The responses, however, cavalierly treating them as such when patently they were not might be better construed as such.
- With a heavy heart - this is not life and death, folks, it is a volunteer effort, one where Ockham's Razor began as Wikipedia's guiding rule - and a heavy keyboard it is off to dispute resolution we go.Wikiuser100 (talk) 11:09, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

- No problem, I had seen his posts indicating imminent vandalism of the site on a related forum and decided I'd help out. Can you also lock the Newgrounds and Tom Fulp redirect articles in case he returns with a different proxy? UniversalBread (talk) 05:11, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- I guess not although when it occurred multiple times I made a request, it will likely be denied. Thanks anyway! UniversalBread (talk) 05:15, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi J.delanoy! What is the situation on the article Merlin Gill? Since it's been considered deleting (here), why has it not been done? I think, since it's not backed up with references, as well as poor content of information about the person (birthdate, etc.), it should be deleted. Panmaker (talk) 07:01, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Reversion of edits to Kangdi
Hi. Think you were a bit quick to revert these edits. I tracked down a reference, and cleaned up the wording, making a clearer new version. But having done this, the article still seemed rather thin - more a definition than an encyclopedia entry. It struck me that fire pots, of which a Kangdi is an example, are an interesting subject with a long history. So maybe the entry for Kangdi should redirected to a fuller article on fire pots around the world and through the ages. I made a start, but before I do much more, is this going to be rejected for some reason? Aymatth2 (talk) 19:35, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
O.k. Will continue. Thanks. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:54, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Maybe a mistake. See current version of Fire pot. This is just scratching the surface. Maybe if I focus on my day job for a while, someone else will clean it up ... Aymatth2 (talk) 02:47, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Requesting rollback
It's me again. I saw under your user page that you will take requests on rollback, and I'm here to request it. I want to help clean wikipedia of vandalism. I have been very good lately with twikkle and want to use rolback to help revert vandalism more quickly. Thanks for reading! Techman224 (talk) 21:16, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- I protest the granting of rollback to this user. He has been better in the past few days using Twinkle, but he has received numerous warnings over the past month for reverting legitimate edits and reposting copyrighted material and vandalism. In every case he has refused to acknowledge his mistakes and instead excises the warnings from his talk page. In my opinion he is not careful enough with the tools he has and could do some damage with rollback privileges. Wronkiew (talk) 21:46, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Excuse me
Where can I report users for vandalism? I'm assuming I can to you, since you're an administrator: if not, point me in the right direction. I'll try and keep this short.
TheSickBehemoth violated the 3RR on Death Magnetic, so I reported him for it. I added the warning tag for the 3RR violation to his talk page, and he removed it and proceeded to say to me, "You didn't need to report me, you big baby," a personal attack. So I tagged his page with the personal attack template, which he removed. I'm thinking that is a violation of conduct, to remove validly added tags, so I added a removing conduct tag. He took that down and added it to my profile, vandalism and another 3RR violation on his own talk page. So I removed the tag from my own profile, and slapped him with a few vandalism tags (He repeated consecutively, so I kept re-adding tags of the next level until it was level 4). He removed the level 4 tag from his own profile, and added it to mine. More vandalism and removal of content, after being warned consecutive times. Go ahead and look through my talk page history and his. If I'm mistaken in reporting him to you, point me in the right direction. If I'm mistaken in reporting him at all, tell me. If you'd like to know anything else, just ask ;) --The Guy complain edits 22:47, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks dude :)
- I just thought he already did it, so he can get banned for it. Didn't realize bans were like that, but, thanks for the insight! (For the record, I'm not sore about him calling me that :)) --The Guy complain edits 23:08, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Vandals
I needed a break from article writing/sourcing, so I thought I would check out Huggle. Anyways, I found out you need rollback, so I applied and was turned down because I haven't cleaned up any vandalism. That's fine and I get it. I installed TW and have used it a few times and tried the warn feature as well. Would you mind looking over my use of TW to make sure I am on the right track? Thanks so much. XF Law (talk) 13:27, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

A RFPP Issue
Would you mind giving my a second opinion on this RFPP request please? If you need more information, please ask....there is alot. Thanks...NeutralHomer • Talk 01:43, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
- I am just looking for IP protection (that is Full Partial, right? :S). I think it we take out the IP access, it will be harder for them to vandalize the page. Plus, if they wanted to use registered accounts, like Chrismichelle (which made the same edits, only once, today), they would be caught quicker than the IPs, which can be changed quickly. - NeutralHomer • Talk 01:51, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

If you want to close that RFPP, that is cool. Take Care and Have a Good Evening...NeutralHomer • Talk 01:58, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
I think giving them a level 5 vandalism warning is a little harsh for their first edit in a few weeks (don't get me wrong, what they did is unacceptable). But your and administrator so I trust your judgement, there may be things I am not aware of. But they vandalised the page again so if your online right now you might want to block them for a few hours. [3] – Jerryteps 04:12, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, it is a very vulgar word. But I trust you more than regular users because the community has put their trust in you and made you an administrator. Hmm, "Also, just because I'm an administrator doesn't mean my opinion is more valuable than anyone else's. ", I think you misunderstood me. I was talking about your judgement, not your opinions worth. – Jerryteps 14:44, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
Invisible icon on my talk page
Hi -- I don't know if you can help, but the email me icon on my talk page menu is invisible, any idea why? Thanks for clarifying tl;dr, that was a doh! moment for me as I should have known that. Also, further to the stale report discussion, as it looks likely that in a few days I'll be expected to block vandals, not just warn them, I was looking for guidance on the IP issue - I know about dynamic IPs, so what length of time between warning and blocking do you usually use for them - (or decide the report is stale)? Thanks. Doug Weller (talk) 16:16, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
- Weird. I just looked at my pages and the icon is there. I don't know when it appeared, but after this [4] mention by someone else that it was invisible. Ah, no fair, that was incredibly fast! I see why it didn't work. Thanks, thanks, thanks. Doug Weller (talk) 16:25, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

- Thank you, but the thing is the laptop and the Computer have the same IP address. When it's used it shows up as the exact same anonymous user, even though the IP's are different as they're from different computers. Ghost109 (talk) 20:48, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
re:Good work!
Thanks so much for the barnstar! :D All the real thanks goes to Gurch, though, for developing Huggle. I've never been able to wrap my mind around Twinkle...miquonranger03 (talk) 20:16, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. I'm just here to notify you that it looks like the above user (Logs|Contribs) is the same fellow as 68.99.161.21 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • blacklist hits • AbuseLog • what links to user page • COIBot • Spamcheck • count • block log • x-wiki • Edit filter search • WHOIS • RDNS • tracert • robtex.com • StopForumSpam • Google • AboutUs • Project HoneyPot) (quote: "stop removing relevant entries"). ~ Troy (talk) 02:09, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
A level 1 warning after a level 4 warning? I would start at level 2 instead. 69.140.152.55 (talk) 04:33, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
User:Smuckerbob and Special:Contributions/76.212.143.250
These are the same editors, did you look at the edits they made before removing your block? Looks like they are stale now, but replacing content with I love skateboarding and other skateboarding wording is a fair indication that they knew they were not providing encyclopedic content. But that's why your an admin and I'm not. Just wanted to give you a heads up. I warned him twice at Smuckerbob, but saw that he was also the anon and decided he needed to be nipped before he destroyed more articles. Cheers.--«JavierMC»|Talk 04:46, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Hope you don't mind
I've 'borrowed' your talkheader, I hope that's ok. Presuming you don't,what's the best way to give you credit for it (best from your point of view I mean). I'm also going to use versions of your sub-pages. I don't have the coding skills myself, and borrowing seems pretty common. Thanks for your help and your support. I hope I haven't made a mistake. I really, really was tempted to unprotect a page that some Admin had dashed in and protected just after all the sourced content had been removed leaving an illiterate sub, that is not a good way to handle a content dispute when you have experienced editors writing a page and, hm, different editors deciding certain academics are right and others wrong. But wheel warring is bad. I think. Always. Usually. Things were simpler before. :-) Doug Weller (talk) 12:35, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Block or not? How long?
Any suggestions? It's a school, vandalism 9 days ago with final warning, then yesterday and just now. Thanks. Doug Weller (talk) 16:45, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
What's wrong with Ryan? Vinson 22:28, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
- What's wrong is that some 13-year old boy is harassing Ryan and J with sexual comments. J, could you rangeblock the range these are coming from? Most are from the 90. and 81. ranges. Erik the Red 2 (AVE·CAESAR) 22:31, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
I am not a 13 year old boy. How dare you!! I am a woman, a proud woman who just finds men like Ryan incredibly sexy and attractive. I want him so. 90.192.200.50 (talk) 22:41, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
