Dear Fellow Wikipedian - I have never made any revisions to this page: Revision history of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. THERE MUST BE SOME MISTAKE. In fact, I have done nothing to violate any Wiki Policies and have only tried to add insightful medical content or helpful links. I would ask for your help in protecting a valid contributor like myself only wishing to help others with relevant medical information and protect me from frivolous edits made by administrators with no real interest in helping the public, only assuming a false sense of power over others. PLEASE UPHOLD the integrity of Wikipedia and review the history of these administrators who delete information and or links without giving reason like " Jfdwolff " on the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headache and contribute NOTHING valid to wikipedia!

As you helped resolve some issues that I was involved in, your help would be greatly helpful on another issue that has arising on the Red River Rivalry article page I would go in to great detail here but I think its best if I let you look at the discussing that is taking place on the talk page any way that you or even someone else can help would be greatly helpful.--SteamIron 06:01, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi! Since you've been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, I wanted to let you know about the Wikipedia Ambassador Program, and specifically the role of Online Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.
If you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors during the current term, which started in January and goes through early May. If that's something you want to do, please apply!
You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE.
I hope to hear from you soon.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 19:27, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

One of the editors recently deleted the entire sourced section in The Deputy regarding it's connection to communist propaganda on the (again) completely unsubstantiated and unsourced assertion that it is a "conspiracy theory". I'd like to avoid edit warring, however it seems to me that this is completely unwarranted and verges on vandalism, considering that there is no meritorious basis for deleting the entire section. How can this be dealt with? Mamalujo (talk) 18:21, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I am wondering why you do not think that Godzilla (2012 film project) does not violate Wikipedia's policy of not being news. Topics are supposed to be of enduring notability. Plans for a film cannot be declared of enduring notability if there are only news reports that are written with a film in mind. The only appropriate way for it to work is if a project failed in development and got retrospective coverage, since it would address the plans themselves. Contemporary news reports could then be used to provide detail, not be used by themselves to serve as the basis of a topic of enduring notability. The notability guidelines for future films exist to ensure that discussion about planned film are relegated to the source of their importance, may it be the source material or a well-known filmmaker. A "film project" like the Godzilla one clearly demonstrates that it is not a topic of enduring notability when if filming begins, the scope has to be redefined as a regular film. In contrast, a film article is created at least when filming begins because per WP:CRYSTAL #1, it will be near certain that a film will come out. Its scope is set for eternity. Godzilla's scope is not. It should have belonged at the franchise article in the appropriate section for the time being. Erik (talk | contribs) 12:47, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
Please respond at Talk:2011 Iranian protests. If you are going to enforce blocks on anyone who messes with adding links and templates about the Arab world protests (along with reversions), then you also need to enforce blocks on people who take them off.

Could we have your assistance at this page. We had previously come to an agreement regarding the nature of the role of Eastern Bloc intelligence in the play: "Yes of course; if the material only used truly reliable sources, was cut down in accord with WP:UNDUE, worded in accord in WP:NPOV, and moved to the correct location, it would be perfectly reasonable. Jayjg (talk) 04:29, 6 February 2011 (UTC)" Jayjg had indicated at one point he would do a rewrite. He'd also had objections to the source where Rychlak had published (Pave the Way Foundation). He did not come up with the revised section so I reinserted the section with new citations to Rychlak's meticulously researched and footnoted 2010 book, rather than the earlier publication tha Jayjg objected to as self published. I would have been glad to have the section edited for POV and reduced somewhat for weight, but Jayjg seems to have reneged on what he agreed to earlier here and on the talk page. Some editors on the page, including Jayjg, keep tossing around terms like conspiracy theory when it clearly is nothing of the sort. Three noted scholars, all who write on this period in history say it is credible. It's also been published published world wide in top news sources. Mamalujo (talk) 22:54, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm, that might be just a tad excessive. We don't want to suppress all discussion, because that's when the pressure has nowhere to go, and people will go and meatball:ExpandScope.
Since scope is already expanded to international media, forcing scope to expand further might be a bit of a Bad Idea (tm). I recommend Not Going There.
If we're really intent on keeping discussions off of WP, we can always create a wikinews article, and link to the "discuss this article" page.
However, at the moment, people seem to be keeping it down to a dull roar anyway.

My wikibuddy, User:Fountainviewkid, has been getting into some scrapes and sometimes needs sage advice and sometimes technical advice. I was looking at the Online Ambassador page but it looks like something different than what we need for Fountainviewkid.

OK. This is simple. 86.45.75.42 slapped a speedy tag on the article claiming it was patent nonsense AND unreferenced (although I don't know how the hell you reference patent nonsense). I removed the tag and added references using the existing external links which I then removed as it was a reference. Of the other two external links, one was dead and the other was a sentence. Since then the IP keeps reverting because for some reason he wants the article unreferenced. PTJoshua (talk) 20:14, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm a little puzzled by your decision. Three editors (including the nom') wanted to keep, while only two wanted to delete. Either there was no consensus, or the consensus was to keep. What's the point of having an AfD, if admins come along and over rule the consensus? The subject clearly met WP:MUSICBIO because he had released several works with Armada Music. The mention of YouTube was simply to further support the point that besides meeting the criteria to the letter, he meets it in the real world too. — Fly by Night (talk) 16:41, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey, "proud father who never hit his child in his lifetime", not everybody is against disciplining their children by spanking. He said his daughter was licking his hand, and he had told her repeatedly to stop. She didn't, and he smacked her. He didn't punch her, or send her to the hospital, or cause any serious injury. Just enough to have his wife baited into calling the police on him by child protective services. As for child support, he paid his child support until the point where he wasn't able to afford it due to an employment issue.

First of all, I don't think there can be any doubt about where this was heading. That said, I was planning on looking for sources and assumed I had time to do so. Not a big deal (I only found one more source, not enough to get past WP:EVENT by any means), but I would have appreciated the extra time. I do think you've handled the issue well. I felt some of the regulars were a bit vehement/insensitive in their arguments to delete and I was glad to see your condolences in the close. Nice to see the caring about people, even SPAs (who are people too), in that situation. Thanks. Hobit (talk) 03:20, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Thank God you are an ambassador for WP, and against censorship, MoP. When Wikipedia fails, and it eventually will, it will largely be because most people don't like to be gamed and would rather not read well cultivated information that is maintained by dishonest brokers who hide behind rules that are never applied in an even-handed manner. The idea that a story is not relevant merely because it is not yet encyclopedic is ridiculous when one sees all the articles which linger on for months or years in the same state. The idea that a story is not relevant because the motivations/justifications of the user are suspect would be grounds for eliminating half the biographical articles in WP. It smacks of an agenda. The appearance of impropriety is as bad as actual impropriety.173.78.20.96 (talk) 04:51, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
I'd ask that you reconsider your close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Natami (2nd nomination). If I end up taking this to DRV, we both know it most likely will be overturned. I'd rather avoid the additional drama however. --Tothwolf (talk) 04:51, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
If they have valid, policy-based rationale, their personal motivation doesn't matter, solely for the reason that an encyclopedia based on liking or disliking things would crumble instantly. I'm sure some of the deletion crew could just-as-easily blame keep voters for being enthusiasts and fans of Natami - but that's not important. As a result, making allegations of personal bias is unnecessary. The help is appreciated, but there's nothing I can do with the information. m.o.p 15:39, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
In no way did I ever threaten you with DRV, let alone because you were a new administrator (discussion in question). I did however upon noticing that you had passed RFA only days earlier decide it best not to press you further in public and instead sent you this short email: "Sigh. I just noticed you just finished your RFA. The Natami AfD was a bad AfD to pick to close right out of the gate. It is likely to end up at DRV and given the magazine I mentioned, overturned. I really wish you would reconsider your close. You might have noticed I didn't even !vote in the AfD itself, however I did point out a number of things and took a couple of people to task for making false or misleading statements." That is the only email I sent you about the matter and not once did I ever threaten you with DRV. Please get your facts correct before making statements such as this because such mistakes can have a negative effect on others.
After you replied expressing your disagreement over the sources (and implied that I might be biased because I sometimes contribute to computing-related articles) I asked a number of other administrators (way more than two, actually) what they thought of the AfD's close because I wanted unbiased feedback to see if I was somehow totally off-track before I initiated a DRV. The feedback I got was fairly unanimous in that the close was problematic. Before I had a chance to draft a DRV however, you reverted your own close and relisted the AfD from scratch with a new listing. In no way did I ever "canvass" anyone to "talk to you" and if others did contact you directly, they did so at their own discretion and for their own reasons.
There indeed have been two AfDs, the first of which you closed (although one could also argue that the second was merely a relist of the first). The AN/I "discussion" you also mentioned wasn't really over this article or the first AfD, it was an attempt by someone to game AN/I when they were unable to bully me on their talk page. Please be more careful making these sort of blanket statements in the future because as I mentioned above such statements can cause problems for others. --Tothwolf (talk) 17:38, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
I was also attempting to assume good faith in that you simply misremembered the facts I outlined above when you made this statement here. It is easy to forget a few details here or there and not everyone maintains detailed notes for this sort of stuff (I do, for a number of reasons, although I didn't always).
As far as honest advice goes, this is a two-way street and I gave you my opinion as well. If you choose to ignore and discount it, so be it, but I'd suggest you be much more careful in the future and get your facts correct before you make the sort of statement you made above. Such statements can and do cause problems for other editors. Who knows, it may just be that you've not been around long enough yet to have witnessed people blocked or punished in some way because someone else didn't have their facts together. (If you do decide you want to continue this discussion, perhaps we should take this elsewhere.) --Tothwolf (talk) 18:14, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

These guys are incredible... I could dig up diffs to show you how they revert and wikilawyer even the SMALLEST attempt to move the article closer to NPOV. But that would take a long time for you to read. How about I show you this instead:
These guys are utterly without scruples. Who in their right mind would remove the NPOV dispute tag when heated arguments have been raging for weeks and NO moves whatsoever have been made to fix the article? Oh right, that would be someone in their right mind who is running a propaganda platform.
Anyway... I wanted to ask your advice on what to do. These guys are impossible to work with. Most of the other editors have given up and refuse to put this page on their watchlist. So what to do then? Request formal mediation? Articles for deletion? Something else?
Me and the other editors would like to see the page replaced with a disambiguation page... since literally ALL the content has already been covered (better) in Criticism of atheism, State atheism and New Atheism.

MoP, you protected User:Jasper Deng for vandalism at user request and the page cites a "recent spate of vandals" but there's nothing in the page history. Are you aware of oversight issues or is there another reason for the protection?--Doug.(talk • contribs) 10:42, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I noticed that you recently had problems with proposed brutal editing by Peter S Strempel. Although he has been more sensible on your project in the end (possibly because of your administrator status?) he has not been so with regard to the astrology project pages to which he made a similar 'razor-promise'. Could you please see this Afd request which is one of three he made for major 'history of astrology' articles within the last hour, with a promise on another important page that any comment which is not refrences within 7 days will be removed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Babylonian_astrology
Is there anything that can be done about this officially to stop him wreaking havoc with content whilst he knows that the small group of editors providing content on these pages are already stretched to the limit trying to keep up with what needs to be done? I don't understand what drives some people to want to edit WP like this, but I think it is entriely the result of his ego-stress that when he proposed an edit for a passage, no one favoured it. Hope you can help or advise Zac Δ talk 01:15, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
See Talk:History of astrology#Deletion of unreferenced content. ANI time? Coupled with his AfDs he has to be reined in. The AfDs are clearly disruptive. He claims the articles were created as NPOV forks to avoid controversial debate although they were all created in 2006. Dougweller (talk) 05:54, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
I would just like to bring to your attention the discussion on the Introduction section, Section 16 of the talk page. It has been a week and the discussion and voting have died down, so now seems an acceptable time to rule on the subject and close that debate so the discussion and refining of the article can continue on other topics therein.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 2008 University of Central Arkansas shootings is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2008 University of Central Arkansas shootings(2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Night of the Big Wind talk 14:00, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Dear Master of Puppets, I hope this message finds you doing well. I am writing to inform you that things are once again heating up on the militant atheism talk page. This past summer, you helped to moderate the discussion in order to ensure that editors were being civil and were refraining from making mass changes without discussion. At this time, I think that your monitoring of the talk page closely, once again, for both parties, would be helpful. Thanks for taking the time to read this message. With regards, AnupamTalk 23:59, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

I've left a reply about that other thing on my talk page but Ashleyleggat404 persists in removing the block notice, despite warnings about WP:BLANKING.

Dear User:Master of Puppets, I hope this message finds you doing well. Since you were the reviewing administrator for the militant atheism article, I thought I would once again notify you of the massive edit warring and changes that have not gained consensus, which are occurring there at the moment. I might suggest protection of the article, until a new consensus is reached. I've started a new discussion here in order to accommodate some of the issues some of previous dissenting editors had with the current introduction. Your moderation of the talk page and article would be helpful for both parties, as things are currently heating up there. Thanks for taking the time to read this message. I look forward to your response! With regards, AnupamTalk 19:47, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
I'd just like to add that, like Griswaldo, I am getting pretty tired of the ownership delusions displayed by Anupam at Militant atheism. SNALWIBMA ( talk - contribs ) 21:24, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
Please reconsider your full protection. Earlier in the day several editors were reverting an IP editor, who happened to share Anupam's POV. Later I reverted his attempt at blatant ownership (issue mentioned above). By protecting the page, IMO, you're validating Anupam's ownership of it. The rest of us are apparently not enough to establish a consensus if Anupam disagrees with us? Please reconsider.Griswaldo (talk) 22:13, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi m.o.p., as someone who occasionally looks at that page (and then washes my hands), I just want to compliment you as having done the right thing in full protecting. By way of unsolicited advice to the involved editors, the best thing they could do is to allow The Wrong Version to sit there a good long time, and devote their energy to other things. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:54, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
Yes, please reconsider your full protection of Militant atheism; User:Anupam et al.'s contributions—which certainly follow WP:V and WP:RS—deserve protection against misinformed reverts. Thanks Geremia (talk) 16:12, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Master of Puppets do you need more diffs or is this enough?Griswaldo (talk) 23:31, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
If you say "If you don't do A, then I'm going to go and do B", that's a threat. Anyway, that's not the issue - we've already covered all the issues with the RfC reverting, and Anupam won't do it again. Why keep raising hell over it?
We've already covered everything you bring up. And no, I'm not denying anything. I'm just saying this, and it's very simple: I don't think there has been any blatant ownership here. That's my judgment. If you disagree, again, feel free to raise this with another administrator or on ANI. m.o.p 23:12, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
Dear User:Master of Puppets, I just noticed that User:Binksternet started another RfC while a current one is occurring. Is this appropriate? I reverted the addition motioning for one until your response is confirmed. If it is acceptable, then I apologize and will revert my edit. I look forward to your response.

you've helped me out before, with a conflict of interest problem, so having much more experience than me on wikipedia, I thought I would be bold enough to ask again for help.
Similar problem to last, User_talk:Hobbycraft is editing the HOBBYCRAFT article and making changes that aren't citably right. I think the user name suggest and history suggests a conflict of interest case.

Your removal of a very long series of diffs is very frustrating, as there have been serious and repeated concerns about sockpuppetry, on-wiki canvassing, and off-wiki canvassing on the talkpage. I can understand why anupam would try to prevent further discussion on the talkpage, but not you. What, exactly, is so defamatory about a long series of diffs? If you could point out exactly which bit of text you feel is defamatory then I will cheerfully restore discussion of one of the article's most serious problems whilst omitting the words that you find objectionable. bobrayner (talk) 15:36, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

You deleted this page before I had a chance to go back in and add the stuff that you wanted to see, including the links within Wikipedia to important composers such as Lou Callabro (who started this orchestra and cites it in his Wikipedia page) and Susan Hurley whose work we premiered (SC is also mentioned in her Wikipedia entry). (Let alone links about the works we have performed.) And we have a web site at www.sagecitysymphony.org, have existed for over 35 yrs and are a significant cultural resource in the Bennington area such that we receive grants from local, statewide and national foundations.
I broke my wrist last weekend and am doing one-handed pecking so it'll take me a few days to get that loaded in. We are going out for a bit now, but I would appreciate your undeleting the page so that I don't have to re-invent the starting part when I go back in tomorrow to add links. Or delete it entirely so that I can start fresh - at this point either would work as long as I can start some serious work on it tomorrow. I am the webmaster by the way, so I do have access to content and more links.

WP:COI editing is allowed, but only with overwhelming heed to making encylopedic edits that are reliably sourced and without undue weight towards promotion and other worrisome editorial spins, following editor consensus and above all, no edit warring at all. So, Classmusic is allowed to edit that article, but given given his seeming lack of understanding as to the policies, the article does bear careful watching. Gwen Gale (talk) 18:24, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
His response to your message, m.o.p., was a lengthy I didn't hear that. Perhaps he is unaware of the sockpuppet investigation findings. Anyhow it seems that DeltaQuad has also blocked the Classmusic account. I left a note on his page about using the unblock template, but re-iterated that he needs to read the COI and Autobiography guidelines and stick to them scrupulously, if he gets unblocked. In the Opera and Classical Music WikiProjects, we get a lot of articles for performers, ensembles, etc. created by their agents and PR people, and often themselves. In my experience, the best I can hope for after one of these tussles is that they'll edit their article according to the guidelines in future. I have yet to find a single one who has ever contributed anything else to Wikipedia. Their only interest in the project is as a PR tool. Having said that, at least it results (after much red-pencilling from other editors) in one new article on a notable subject that we didn't have before and in a small way redresses the pop culture systemic bias here.

Well WP:CRYSTAL has wined down, however, there's currently a WP:3RR edit conflict going on with The Bad Girls Club (season 7). I have notified the two users [32], [33]. The evidence can be found here. They are having an edit-conflict on how the "Duration of cast" should be presented. Since there's no rules regarding anything like that, and it was made up about a year ago, I couldn't warned them to stop their e/c with anything except the 3RR rule. Maybe they need an admin to tell them to stop, so that's why I came to you :) Thanks, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 01:17, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi MOP. I conducted all the interviews and the website is being hosted by the company I used to work for. When the cycle comes around in January or February, they will not be renewing hosting for that site. I'm not self promoting with the interviews, if you notice I don't even list the name or the show or anything that could be considered promotion or advertising in any of the links. The interviews are all historical retrospectives and some have been used as references in articles here on wikipedia and other places. They are completely a labor of love. I don't make any money off the interviews and there isn't any advertising on the videos on youtube themselves. So I dont' really understand about how it could be self promotion or vandalism. All I wanted to do was update the links from the mp3s on the old site to the new links on youtube. If that's not possible, I'll see if I can take over hosting the old site, but I'm pretty sure that won't happen. Wikipedia has been a great resource for wrestling fans to learn about their favorite wrestler in a real and factual setting, my interviews have always been the same and I would hate for wrestling fans to miss out on the real life histories of the people who portray these characters because someone I dont' know and never met seems to have some bizarre misplaced vendetta. I had planned to spend the evening updating the interviews and then be done with it. So it wasn't something where I'd be doing new interviews. There isn't a self involved to promote. Thanks for any assistance. and most of all Thank you for being nice and reasonable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.24.40.18 (talk • contribs) 21:37, 25 October 2011

Hi M.o.P. I went to change over a couple of the interview links and saw that a user named Turtlepump had grown through every wikipedia page that an interview of mine appeared on and deleted the links. I don't really have the time or the energy to go back through and readd or undo all of that. The date it was done was on Nov. 3, so it appears right after you said it was okay to do so. I'm not really in this thing for headaches or for people to act like idiots over, which definitely DOES NOT include you. You have been great. If more people on Wikipedia were like you, then you would have thousands more people contributing and refining wikipedia, unfortunately, it seems there are some seriously mentally challenged people on here, for someone to go through all the people I've interviewed and find their wikipedia entries and then to spend all that time deleting the links shows a severely psychotic level of committment and a level of mental instability that I just don't wish to engage. I mean, that's alot of work to do all of that for no real reason. The reason listed on nearly every entry was that there were hundreds of interviews done with the subject, and that's blatantly false, many of these people were the first times they'd been interviewed about their career history in depth, some of them the first time they'd been interviewed period, but I digress. M.o.P. thank you for being an exemplary Wikipedia member, I sincerely hope that more people like you will join this site and make it what it truly can be. I've decided against trying to add anything at all on here, even if I see things that are blatantly false or incorrect, my experience with other people on here has been frustrating and senseless, and from the blog posts and webpages I see that I'm not the only one who feels this way. But to you my friend, keep up the great work and all the best to you. WDH 65.24.40.18 (talk) 03:26, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

I have not the foggiest what "The Real Housewives of Beverley Hills" actually is, let alone get involved in an edit war on its Wikipedia page.

Dear Fellow Wikipedian - I have never made any revisions to this page: Revision history of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. THERE MUST BE SOME MISTAKE. In fact, I have done nothing to violate any Wiki Policies and have only tried to add insightful medical content or helpful links. I would ask for your help in protecting a valid contributor like myself only wishing to help others with relevant medical information and protect me from frivolous edits made by administrators with no real interest in helping the public, only assuming a false sense of power over others. PLEASE UPHOLD the integrity of Wikipedia and review the history of these administrators who delete information and or links without giving reason like " Jfdwolff " on the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headache and contribute NOTHING valid to wikipedia!

I have reverted your close of the AN/I discussion. As what is being complained about is your own early close of an afd you should not also be the one to say that we have discussed the matter successfully. This is about as clear an example of acting as an interested admin that I have encountered, but I'm not going to pursue that part, if only to avoid a debate over whether the an/i close was an admin action.

My first recommendation would be that you two discontinue all communication with each other for the time being. I'll talk to you individually and work as a mediator to settle this issue. If one of you says something the other does not agree with, please do not reply to the offending statement. Just let me know if you think your words or actions are being misrepresented and I'll do the rest. Also, please do not make any edits that the other could even conceivably take offense to, especially not to the articles you've already clashed on. I know it seems a bit much to completely separate you two, but, given that you're both well-spoken and have your wits about yourselves, I feel like any writing one of you produces will serve as a seed for the other's rebuttal.

Okay, its been almost a week since I posted the Diffs you requested, and I haven't heard back from you regarding resolving the multiple issues with the other user. I am concerned that letting this peter out like this is only going to cement the incorrect views of Wiki policies of the other user and make it harder to find a solution that doesn't make him feel like he has no voice in the process. If you were thinking that this delay was going to serve as a 'cooling down period', it will instead only delay the inevitable conflict later on down the road, as I intend to go back to the article eventually and work to get it to at least GA-quality. I am sure the other user wants to make other edits to the article as well, and might want the matter resolved, too. could you give a heads up as to where we are int he process? - Jack Sebastian (talk) 19:34, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
Related to the research I did for the ANI, yet another image turned up with a seemingly false tag. File:Kurt Hubert Franz.jpg, published in 1944 with a tag stating this picture is over 70 years old.

Now I see he has mentioned me for the 2nd or 3rd time on ANI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Ethnic_insults.3F
Can you please help with this? DIREKTOR ought to be blocked for this. I don't know what channels to cross in order to make that request.
All I know is he's stirring up major trouble. I may not be able to maneuver my way here again, so please respond on my talk page. Thank you. Djathinkimacowboy 22:56, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
mop, I only returned here as to query: user DIREKTOR has been awfully quiet of late, and seemingly very nice. It made me nervous.
Well, DIREKTOR has placed a barnstar on my talk page (I promptly removed it) "for being special". I do not wish to stir the pot about this. It's just that I do not want anything from that kind of editor.
Also, perhaps I make a mountain out of a molehill, but why would he award me a barnstar? Because I have been awarding them where I see they are deserved, so he is parodying me? ["I'm not paranoid," he cackles like Don Knotts] - sorry, I wanted to jump in because I forgot to say, can this indicate DIREKTOR is stalking me? If so, DIREKTOR may be stalking others.

Hi, I wanted to ask an admin to come help resolve an issue on the Bulgars article and came across you. To be up to speed with the issue read my discussions on the latest Bulgar talk page and edit comments and also read my edits and check the sources. If this matter can get resolved then the article can be better and more complete with more than one view, theory etc. Also, if you don’t know much about the Bulgars then this may help: originally the only main theory was the Turkic theory, but in recent years other views and information and theories have developed – such as the Iranic theory for example. This theory has gathered support by a couple of researchers and professors and also a documentary “ The Bulgarians” discusses it. There is also evidence for it – to see the evidence (which will help you in knowing more about the origins of the Bulgars thus possibly helping resolve this issue) it will be really wise to read the sites and sources (links) I have provided in the section “Bulgars” of the talk page and also to see the external links about their language which is at the bottom of the article (if any of the things are not there anymore check the history, but they should be there). Also of note is the fact that there is possible controversy on Jingiby – a look at some of the comments made to him on the Bulgar talk page (now in the history, but you can still check it) and on his talk page directed against him (also in history) signifies possibly that, if people really dislike him so far as to post the words they did, then Jingiby must be doing something wrong or bad. If he was a good editor then maybe people would have not made the comments they did against him. Now there is also some controversy with me I admit – I have been blocked for 24h from edit warring and warned against a link I tried to add, but I have decided to properly listen to rules and be a good, proper editor, and will try not to repeat that. I don’t understand why Jingiby behaves in this bad way, I don’t understand why he is so against other information and theories (especially when they are sourced) – does he have racist tendencies or something like that or negative nationalistic feelings? It has been established that other views and theories exist – they are even associated with credible researchers and research that has been carried out, so it is not some “fantasy” as Jingiby says (when he said that this is not a “phantasy forum). What on earth does he have against this information being included, it will only do the article good and shed more light on the matter – what is wrong with that? It is wrong to include only one view and not others, as other theories exist and have sources – this might erroneously influence the opinion of readers who don’t know any better or who aren’t aware of the other information and research. I mean the edits that I added contain very significant and important information – how can it be just ignored – scientists and researchers have spend precious time of their lives and made an effort to research these new things and their work just gets tossed away, even when it is sourced. The Bulgar page has been very corrupt in this regard, there is no justice. I don’t know if you are aware or not but the question on the Bulgars origins have been a very contested and debated issue that has been going on for many years – its serious, so that’s why this information that I tried to add can actually help this debate. The Turkic theory isn’t proven and not every researcher agrees with it. Thank you in advance for your help. I am going to be away and very busy in the next couple of weeks, so if I don’t reply to messages etc – it is not because I don’t want or don’t care, but because I cant or haven’t had the chance to check the messages. Please wait for me before any big decisions are made, even if it means suspending the matter until I come back and notify people that I am back. I just want to say that it really looks obvious that Jingiby is extremely against the other theory, or anything that is not Turkic – he is so against it that he makes sure to immediately remove it (even though it is sourced and even though it a significant theory!!!! associated with real research and academics) – he removes it without any real reasons or any discussions – where is the justice? – he is in effect censoring the page, he seems to be racist towards Iranics or something (judging from his behavior. I mean how can one just remove significant information that is sourced??? There is no logical reason for what he is doing. He is very, very biased towards only one view, and it become extreme when he removes other information without any discussions and reasons, even when there are sources!He keeps doing this over and over and tells me to stop this “game” The very fact that this is a game to him shows possibly how immature he is and how he isn’t serious about anything. I take the work that I am trying to do on the article seriously and try to behave accordingly – it definitely isn’t a game to me. More on this in my discussion on the talk page. Also in the Bulgar article it says that “genetically modern Bulgarians are more closely related to other neighboring Balkan populations…”With the new information (you cans see it on the source) I have provided, it says that modern Bulgarians are, from the new research, very close to Iranic people – so obviously there exists more than one view/research/genetic evidence. In support of my argument – if you read on the Japanese (ethnic group) page, you will see that there is a number of different genetic research that was carried out – one study shows that Japanese are related to (Han) Chinese while another study shows that they are more related to Vietnamese, genetically (if my memory serves right, but you can go check the Japanese ethnic group article). Clearly from this one can deduce that genetic research is not entirely accurate and one study shows this, but another shows that – there are conflicting studies on genetic all the time. So what then is wrong with me including these other studies which shows the ethnicity of the modern Bulgarians (and thus the Bulgars, since they are one of the ancestors) to be different from that study? – is it not inaccurate and unacademic to only include one study when there are others – if only one study is included then that is sort of like POV and can wrongly influence the opinion of readers who don’t know that there are other studies. The same thing with coffee – one study shows it is good for memory and concentration while another shows it is bad or does nothing. Same with tomatoes – studies show it is good in preventing prostate cance while other studies shows that it is bad for stomach because of tomatoes’ acidity – can you imagine if in the scientific journals and textbooks only one view and study is included and does nothing to mention others studies and evidence – like only mentioning that coffee is good for memoy and concentration without mentioning that other research and evidence says it does nothing or is bad – that would be very unscientific and bad. Same reasoning applies to the Bulgar article. Oh and when I tried to add that, Jingiby said that the article is not about modern Bulgarians but about the Bulgars – he is actually a hypocrite because after he reverted my edit, he added bit more info and sources to say that modern Bulgarians are closely related to other Balkan populations, after he said that the article is not about modern Bulgarians – this goes to show how unconstructive Jingiby is. Furthermore, after reverting my edits a couple of times, Jingiby went on to find sources saying that the Bulgars were only 40-50000 (the one that came to Bulgaria) – it would seem obvious that he is trying to downplay the Bulgar contribution to modern Bulgaria and its genetics – and it seems more obvious when he added the information about their number AFTER I added my edits a couple of times – this just shows how extremely biases he is to the Bulgar contribution to modern Bulgaria and the theories on their origins. He seems not aware though, that these days some researchers say the number must have been far, far greater than just 40-50000, especially considering they subjugated the Slavs so easily and won against the larger Byzantium in 681 (the year Bulgaria was founded, in the battle of Ongal). Also the fact that Tervel could afford and was willing to send 15000 Bulgars without much thought to help defend Byzantium against the Arab invasion shows that the Bulgars must have been very numerous – so as to send thousands of soldiers to go fight on behalf of someone else at a critical time when they just created their country – Bulgaria, especially since at that time there were Avars right next to the Bulgars – the Avars being a big threat. If the Bulgars were 40-50000 then we must also say that half of them would be women, a significant portion would be old and kids, and there would be some who are disabled, injured, sick etc, thus leaving barely any soldiers to defend the country – or even send 15k soldiers to defend Byzantium against Arabs – at the time of the sending of the 15k soldiers to fight the Arabs they obviously also had to have a significant number of soldiers to defend against the Avars and the borders, especially when the state just formed around 30 years prior and is still young. This discussion that the Bulgars in Bulgaria must have been far greater is shown in the documentary “The Bulgarians” on Btv, where a professor discusses it, saying that they must have been far greater in numer. My point here is that Jingiby seems to be trying to downplay their contribution to modern Bulgarians – by adding that part After I added my edits and by removing my edits in the first place – all shows how biased and unconstructive he is. One more thing – if any of the links, sources, evidence that I mentioned is not there it is because it has been removed (on purpose) - if that occurs just check the old revision of the page.

Hey, regarding the .*kai\s?(chen)?\s*q?i?u?
filter you added to the blacklist, it seems that it is rather broad in scope (see Wikipedia:AN#Remove_page_title_from_Black_list). Maybe you should consider making it a bit more strict, it is worth noting that Kai is a very common name in Germany. As it is often used as a surname (see for a few examples Kai (name) esp. the surname section), the regex may block many legitimate page creations because it will apparently filter out anything ending in "kai".

BigzMMA has been making remarks about the other user in the dispute (User:Papaursa) and was warned to ceace making the attacks. A short time ago they made yet annother personal attack and I told them straight out they needed to strike their personal attacks from their latest posting, gave a 1 hour deadline prior to involving an administrator, and dropped a talk page notice on their talk page. As it's now been over 2 hours (I decided to be reasonable), I request that you please evaluate BigzMMA's statements and comment at their talk page.

Hi - I'd like to ask you to reconsider your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maisie Williams and to either relist the discussion or to close it as "no consensus". The reason for this is that only three people contributed to the discussion, and they each held different opinions: delete, keep, or merge. I can't quite see how one can find, on this basis, a consensus to redirect. Regards, Sandstein 20:59, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Also let me know if some content on the page violates any of the policies, so that the same can be removed and the other data retained. Since I am new to wiki request your help in this regard.

Thanks for your response. As stated by you, I have made changes to the draft sent by you and I have added appropriate references to the article wherever applicable. Request you to kindly review it and move it back to the web once you feel it is ok to go on to the main space. I also want to know if it is possible to add the company logo in the info box space. Also I have retained the below text since previously you mentioned that I was blanking out some existing information, I am not sure whom it belongs to. Look forward to your response. Regards, Vidyasagar Vidyasagar410 (talk) 08:31, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Request you to kindly move the RuralShores page to main space, the logo can probably be added at a later stage as I would require some time to understand the copy right rules. Thanks a lot. Regards, Vidyasagar Vidyasagar410 (talk) 12:40, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
I've written an editorial for OSNews; yesterday it got reviewed and accepted, so I added it and requested move back. Please comment. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 18:27, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
Being the administrator who deleted Ofermod (band), could you take a look at the improved article? --217/83 15:34, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your help in making correct reporting. I wonder is it worth to make separate report for the second user Vacio in WP:AN3? --Verman1 (talk) 19:30, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
When you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Houston Progressive Voice, did you merge its history into the successor article? If not, please do. I copied the relevant content. (Or if you disagree with a merge, feel free to revert me.) —teb728 t c 06:55, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
Your edit here reverted my content merger; was that intentional? (I don't know what lgv stands for as an edit summary.) —teb728 t c 10:50, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
Umm, since you reverted my edit on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethyl_propionate, I advise you to check this link for this particular ester (ethyl propanoate). http://chem-file.sourceforge.net/data/esters/ethyl_propanoate_en.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.247.174.191 (talk) 15:18, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
It's alright.
Haha, actually I'm just a student checking wiki for the structure I am thinking of, and I was surprised when I saw the formula. I don't know much other than just type in the words in the search engines, so I have no clue for reliable sources. And I have no practical experience with this chemical at all! LOL (PS: This is my first edit in Wiki as well)
Hello, is it considered a personal attack if a user talks bad about another editor by saying: "Meh, I'm over it. Its idiots like him with all the stupid accusations that make me not even bother editing, I'd really just like him to fuck off and let me go on about my business." Apparently, this editor spoke about me on their talk page with another user. Abhijay Talk?/Deeds 15:22, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
Here's the link to that's user's talk page: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jer757). Would a warning be appropriate for that user? Abhijay Talk?/Deeds 15:29, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm interested in having an ad for a WikiProject and happened to find your name on Template:Wikipedia ads. My request specifically is, could you also create an ad for Wikipedia:WikiProject Pakistan? It'd be awesome if you could. Thanks, Mar4d (talk) 16:07, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Could you please close this discussion after establishing a consensus? X.One SOS 07:15, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
Hello User:Master of Puppets! I hope this message finds you doing well. I was wondering if you could close this RfC as the RfC expired today. I look forward to your response. With regards, AnupamTalk 03:40, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
Someone is in good faith re/adding a link to their own blog on the R v Peacock page. It seems to me to be non-notable, and also clearly a COI issue. Would be correct place to raise this be their talk page or on the R v Peacock talk page? Last time I was involved in an issue like this, I was accused of raising discussions in inappropriate places, and I've got confused. Personally I hate seeing that "you have new messages" orange bar at the top of the screen! almost-instinct 16:18, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
I hate to bring up this fun chestnut from the past, but there's been some developments, and you were the last admin who had any significant dealings with it. I believe it was last left that there was no consensus to include Thomas Ball in the list. My watchlist has just alerted me to the fact that he's been re-added based on some sources from last summer that were already raised and rejected back then.
Truth is, the time I have for Wikipedia has greatly reduced since last summer, and I'm not sure I have the time or patitence to go through another round on this one at that page. (Nor am I fully decided which side of the issue I fall under.) So I thought I would let you know, in case you had any interest in looking in on the article.

Dear Master of Puppets,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlopeck (talk • contribs) 04:04, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
Dear Master of Puppets,
I am messaging regarding a page on Oxford-Georgian Society which was removed few months back and seems to be due to badly cited informtion and sock puppet abuse. I am a London based reseacher on Georgians in UK and I am keen to set up an Oxford-Georgian Society page as it has very old and fascinating history. There is quite a number of similar pages on Wikipedia, so the topic should not be an issue (Oxford University Polish Society, Oxford University Greek Society, Oxford University Russian Society etc). I have prepared a very well referenced and cited text, but wanted to run it past you before posting, to make sure there are no issues going forward. Please let me know what is the best way to show you the prepared article before it is posted online.
Best regards,
David — Preceding unsigned comment added by AktadG (talk • contribs) 14:03, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:MoPuppetarmy.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the ((GFDL-self)) tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as ((non-free fair use in|article name)) or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 06:48, 5 March 2012 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?Sreejith K (talk) 06:48, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi,
zsome 9 months ago you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bornem Titans as "redirect". However, from nearly immediately after your redirect and until now, a user is recreating the article everytime it gets redirected (first reversion of your redirect close had the nice edit summary "administrative-asshole fix"...) As the AfD nominator, I am involved and so I can't protect the redirect. Could you take a look and do whatever you feel needs to be done? Thanks! Fram (talk) 08:00, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Master of Puppets. About a year ago you had helped produce a filter for Overblood to stop a significant stream of vandalism (changing the name of the main character to "Wienerless Steve" in accordance with the jokes of an online children's show) to this article perpetuated by a devoted group of vandals. The filter worked beautifully and all was well for several months, but the page has since been moved to OverBlood (different capitalization) and because of this the filter no longer applies. The vandals have not forgotten their little games and for the last 5 months they have returned to periodically vandalize the article in the same manner. If possible, could you update the target of the filter to cover "OverBlood" as well as "Overblood"? Thanks in advance. -Thibbs (talk) 16:39, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.
