WHOLESALE DELETIONS FROM A WIKIPEDIA WEBSITE
I wish to report bad faith and unjustified deletions that has occurred on 17 February 2016 in "List of Hungarian Australians" website. User ScrapIronIV, who, contrary to Wikipedia's spirit and deed to serve and benefit public interest, saw fit to arbitrarily delete countless Hungarian Australians who had been or are still contributing eminently to Australian society in their own field of endeavour. Perhaps one or two of them are not as notable as the others, however this attempt appears to be enormous nonsense outrage contrary to established norms.

(Per WP:WTAF) (undo | thank) I am contributor Attilaurm, and like many other genuine and dedicated contributors aiming to develop the website concerned since its inception, I dedicated myself to the same objective: factual entries of outstanding Australian Hungarians (ex-migrant and/or first generation). In the past, on 14 Sept. 2014, yourself as user Lankiveil restored another unwarranted and totally unjustified wholesale deletion of 11 Sept. 2014 caused by user "Huon". Could you please involve yourself by adjudicating and restoring the deleted names as you see fit, since I am lost and have no one to turn to. Thank you. Signed : user Attilaurm. Attilaurm (talk) 01:47, 24 February 2016 (UTC) 24 February 2016. @Attilaurm: In this case I'm afraid I must concur with the user doing the removals here. The usual practice is that in list articles like this, especially with subjective inclusion criteria, only entires that have their own Wikipedia articles should be included. I suggest that you see if articles could be created on any of these individuals that have been removed. Lankiveil (speak to me) 11:54, 1 March 2016 (UTC) Thankyou Lankiveil for your response. Unfortunately in my case, Wikipedia does not have an editor-in-chief nor an editorial board for any adjudication issue on content matter or entry of names. However when it comes to the source cross-referencing process, the fact is that the system was specifically designed by Wikipedia so as to cater for inclusion of those prominent people who excelled and were outstanding in their field but do not necessarily have a Wikipedia article on them. Whilst I accept that some names listed in the past may not have notable enough and thus were not valid in the first instance for entry, it remains always a possibility to undermine the good work done by some volunteer contributors when bad faith and unjustified deletions occur wholesale. I rest my case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Attilaurm (talk • contribs) 12:53, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
WikiCup 2016 March newsletter (update)
Along with getting the year wrong in the newsletter that went out earlier this week, we did not mention (as the bot did not report) that Cas Liber (submissions) claimed the first Featured Article Persoonia terminalis of the 2016 Wikicup.

Stop changing the accuracy of this page. My facts are proven. Yours are inaccurate. I will have you kicked off Wikipedia if you don't stop altering the truth. Writer2122 (talk) 04:34, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Writer2122: Your threat to have me "kicked of Wikipedia" aside, you were updating the page on the television programme, which Takamoto did not create. He did help create the visual design of the character itself, as already noted at Scooby-Doo (character). Lankiveil (speak to me) 05:17, 12 March 2016 (UTC).
Talkback
Message added 05:21, 14 March 2016 (UTC). You can at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
Hi Lankiveil, any further comment on this? My last argument on the matter was (nutshelled) that indefinite semi of the user's talk page contradicts our user talk block policy. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:21, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
User:Esoglou requesting unblock
Hello Lankiveil. You performed the block of Esoglou on 7 March 2015 per the Arbcom case, and he's now requesting unblock. This presumably needs an appeal to Arbcom. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 13:45, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- @EdJohnston: It looks like someone else has beaten me to it, but you're correct that needs an appeal. You can direct users in this situation to Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Ban appeals. Lankiveil (speak to me) 02:16, 19 March 2016 (UTC).
