Not sure why this got deleted. I've been trying to edit and update it based on suggestions from the 5 other people who keep changing it today. Removed any of the direct links to Amazon- not trying to sell any books or cross link. Made it more neutral. Pantologist (talk) 02:22, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

I object to the word "ruin" and see it as a somewhat of a personal attack. I might or might not be an established user, the fact of the matter is that I have a very good reason to remain anonymous as my account has a stalker riding on the tail of virtually every contribution/discussion. Moreover, all this talk by Ctjf83 (talk · contribs) is a clear indication of attempting to WP:OWN the Family Guy articles, to the point that he would do anything to get me banned, manipulate the RfC by misplacing comments, tell me to "back up" a few times and recommend other users to ignore me instead of seeking a constructive solution. I think the age should be included, I've stated my reasons more than plenty. This whole soap opera is sheer insanity, but if we've gone this far, might as well finish it. I am only asking you both to WP:AGF in me. 87.69.177.35 (talk) 13:08, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi
Should Red hair (Robert Wegmann album) be deleted along with Red Hair (Robert Wegmann album)? Former is a redirect to the latter. - 58.8.17.197 (talk) 06:06, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
I have to complain about the speedy delete. The article was linked internally and externally and was slotted to become part of the history of the Ronde.
The very connection the above should indicate its significant worth on WP. (Those not familiar with pro cycling might not know that the Ronde is not far below the Tour de France in terms of importance).
The article was very much a stub, that's true, but the Cycling Project (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Cycling) is very active. We would get the article fleshed out soon.
I also resent the article being deleted almost without warning. It was only created hours ago.
Can the article be restored, please? Best, --Smilo Don (talk) 07:17, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your help with the redirect... now I've got a copyvio question for you on the same article. I noticed that Warrior (2010 film) plot section is a c/p from the IMDB page that is referenced. Not sure why coren didn't catch it - or is it too small to matter? Does this deserve a non-free tag? JCutter (talk) 08:09, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Have you actually read what I wrote on the article's talk page before deleting the article? IByte (talk) 08:51, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
The anon editor is removing copyvio and SD tags and attempting to conceal the activity using bad-faith edit summaries -- eg "removing excessive wordiness; rewrite" and "grammar fix." The accusations of harassment and trolling are, of course, preposterous. --Rrburke(talk) 01:33, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
I saw that you chose not to delete the old talk page for Parkland Elementary School. The Parkland Elementary School article was merged into the overall school district article. I would agree that this talk page should be kept as an archive if it contained useful posts that would help develop the Quesnel School District article. However, since it only has two posts, one post suggesting the deletion of the article, and another explaining why the non-existent article is a stub, this page is a textbook candidate for CSD G8. I'm going to WP:MfD this page. I encourage you to join in the discussion! -Gr0ff (talk) 14:10, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I'm trying to work out why Category:Accepted AfC submissions contains 4,063 pages, but the total of the population of categories in Category:AFC articles by quality is 4,305.

Hello, Thankyou for helping to sort out the page I created, that was a big help --Greenenvylle (talk) 00:55, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the answer and help. I´ve found that Ancestor meets the following point:
"Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability."
Ancestor is the most prominent representative Black Metal band in Havana and whole Cuba. You can verify that in the Internet, and as I told you, in a lot of underground fanzines. Also Ancestor have appeared in Heavy Rock (Spain)and Rock Hard(Germany), both very important magazines. Greetings. Lord Dakkar (talk) 04:47, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

This not that I have a Supreme Court case to cancel the registration of the trademark Citigroup, the problem is that I am the original first user owner of the trademark Citigroup and they do not have any legal rights to use my trademark anywhere including Wikipedia. My team of lawyers have been contacted to investigate the proper way to remove the use of my trademark on Wikipedia from further use of my mark, by my opponent that is insolvent on U.S. government life support and will be nationalized any day and closed. An example of what is being done on Wikipedia is if General Motors started to use the mark General Electric, or General Mills or General tire. Citibank is broke, they will not see 2010 as a going concern because I am also requesting TREBLE PROFITS (THREE TIMES PROFIT) since October 08, 1998. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Citigrouplu (talk • contribs) 05:39, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Dear Someguy1221,
We here at The Political Simpleton feel that we are in the same catagory as "The Drudge Report and "Huffington Post". Unlike other automated news agregators we hand pick news stories. This is a niche in news aggregation that people would like to know. We want to comply in every facet to be part of Wikipidia. I know you are very busy but I would like to work with you to keep The Political Simpleton on Wikipidia. How can we make this happen?

If you are going to delete this, then you need to delete Youporn as well as Pornotube. Otherwise, it would appear you are playing favorites. Why are these pages allowed and not ShockerVideo?
Holden30 (talk) 20:12, 12 May 2009 (UTC)holden30
Why's that? Because you personally use YouPorn and PornoTube and not ShockerVideo? I'm not sure, but I don't think your personal habits should come into play when it comes to what is relevant or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Holden30 (talk • contribs) 20:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
I am not attempting to make this about you. Maybe you could explain what makes Youporn or PornoTube notable as opposed to ShockerVideo? Also, why do you continue to delete ShockerVideo from the porn 2.0 page when it is one of the sites that is listed in on the source website? What makes "AdultMovieTubes.com, XTube, JizzyPorn.com, YouFastPorn.com, Xvideos, Shufuni, Tube8, Megaporn, Spankwire, YouBoob.it, YouPornGay, RedTube, and Pornhub" more notable? Also, take a look at the entry for "wankspider" on the porn 2.0 page. It would appear that it is a very biased and uncited article.
You failed to answer what makes the sites in the porn 2.0 page more notable and not spam themselves? Why is "jizzyporn.com" a notable site as opposed to ShockerVideo? I'm sorry, but I have never heard of jizzyporn.com... Have you?
I'm clear on what Wikipedia is and is not. I have readded ShockerVideo to the porn 2.0 page as part of the list and not as a link. I assume that this is acceptable. If not, I'm sure it will be swiftly deleted. As to the Porn_2.0#Wankspider_-_Adult_Tube_Search_Engine entry on the porn 2.0 page, please evaluate it's credibilty. It would appear to me as it is a plug for the website and biased, as does the entry for TNAFlix.

If you feel that these pages are so important to the project that their deletion will cause harm, I'll stop for now. Otherwise, I plan on (manually) deleting pages marked as rejected that are either older than two months or contain material that would be routinely deleted under CSD G1/G11. I am not using a bot for these deletions; I read every page. Personally, I can not see the use in keeping any of these pages around for longer than a few weeks and suggest that you look into adopting a PROD-like system to help clear out the junk. This creates no additional work for administrators or reviewers. If I "just don't get it", please let me know your reasoning for wanting to keep these articles, aside from "they're causing no harm", because people can still directly link to these archives.

You very kindly answered my question and suggested that I enable Navigation Popups. I did so, and It's exactly what I needed. I can't tell you how aggravating it is to me to always be forced to navigate to an entirely different article just to get a little bit of a definition. Now I don't have click on the link.

Hey Someguy1221,
I am the creator of the Martin Roll wiki pages, that you now have removed.
Could you PLEASE tell me why these pages has been removed?
Martins book is a global bestseller, and a GREAT ressource for me and other companies who wants to enter the asian and especially the chinese markets? And he shares a LOAD of resources on his websites to educate western people in this "new" market. A lot of managers in the western countries needs to be educated in especially the very different cultural parameters you have to take into account when entering the asian markets. Furthermore will students find great details on understanding asian ways and traditions.
Could you please tell me why this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Lindstrom
....is allowed to have his page on the site, when Martin Roll is not allowed to be located at the Wiki?

Hi Someguy1221:
This is User:Musicsociety on wikipedia
I understand now of the rules. I did not bother reading and it cost me. You and Wikipedia have my most humble and deepest apology for breaking these rules. I would love a copy of the text of the page though for reference if this is OK so I can generate it on my personal website.
Thank you for understanding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamthekey (talk • contribs) 09:30, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Dear Someguy1221,
Thank you for undeleting my article about the artist Akim Monet.
As you suggested, I am going to fully develop the article from my user page before moving it.
I am still familiarizing myself with the Wikipedia system and its rules. I am going to check how to properly use my user page. It is my intention to follow the guidelines while consulting the new contributors’ help page.
I would like to ask if it could be possible for you to have a look at the finished article on my user page (when I complete it) before I attempt to move it back to its original place.
In regards to the image that appears on the article, could you please point me towards the copyright rules for artists’ images in order for me to properly incorporate this and other images by artist Akim Monet? To answer your question about the image on the draft page for Akim Monet, it is a photograph taken by Akim Monet at Khajuraho in India. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khajuraho
The image is a low res. version of the large original (40 x 60”) Monet showed in 2002 in a New York gallery. Monet makes low res. versions of his images available to the public for use on the web. But of course, I understand this has to be said somewhere. So again, I look forward to being pointed in the right direction. In fact, the issue of copyright and crediting images correctly is parallel to the one of quotes and citation. There too I will need to learn how to correctly compile my list of “References”.

Hello
The page which I had created for "World News Network" was deleted. please ref. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_News_Network
I agree, some of the content was copied from "world news network" website.
As suggested by you, i have re-created the page : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Smita28/World_News_Network
Please may I know your opinion on this page? This time I don't want it to be deleted.

Regarding your edits to Salwa Judum[6], I should point out that the primary source used by the Maoist sock master User:Oftenhurry is a far-left Indian named Ramchandran Guha who writes for a publication named "countercurrents.org", where they also claim that a secret conspiracy of Jews and Hindus was behind the Mumbai Terror Attacks[7][8]. This guy is, by no means, a reliable source on anything.Cheers.Keysvolume (talk) 16:10, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi, This user has been making false allegations - wonder why he did not provide the wiki link for Ramchandra Guha [1]? It is because he just made up that far left and all that Jew stuff. He is one of the most revered journalists in India. He is associated with many mainstream media. Please check the wiki page yourself and you'd know who Ram Guha is. Maybe pretty soon he would start vandalizing that page too! This user is also vandalizing my talk page [2], indicating that I am a sockpuppet, which he knows is untrue, as I have been cleared off being a sockpuppet. I asked him to stop, and warned that I would report him for vandalism, he did not stop. He also has gone ahead to make reverts of admin made changes on pages - 1) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Naxalite&action=history - here he made changes after admin Fastily reverted vandalism done by one user Mehrrunnissa, who is currently blocked and is being investigated for using sockpuppets.
2) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Salwa_Judum&action=history - here he reverted to his own version after you did the same as above
Please note, both these pages are under semi-protection and were vandalised by Mehrrunnissa, who being blocked cannot undo the changes. Keysvolume is now doing it instead. He is defying community rules of addressing the issue in the talk page instead of reverting a semi protected page. I also found out that these two users are under investigation for being sockpuppets.
Thanks, Oftenhurry (talk) 20:06, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
- I am sorry but what policy did I violate? Someone comes and vandalizes my page, they go on their free well to to do reverts after admins made the changes, and then they thorw slander at one of the most well known journalists of India, simply because they have their own agenda. I am sorry to say that I have used wikipedia before for my own research use, but these incidents are making me highly suspicious of the authenticity of wiki, since anybody can come and say anything they like.

Could you please help User:Merlion444 by semi-PP his page for a while, he's been the target of vandals for the past few days already. I'm not worried about mine since it is patrolled by page stalkers... hahaha Cheers~! --Dave1185 talk 07:49, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello.. You and I kind of ran into each other on Merkeys IP talk.. First I'd like to say that I understand why Merkey is blocked and has been PNG'd by the community. Secondly I'd like to say that I hope you understand that I am not attempting to push Merkeys point of view. What I am interested in is adding his military information in a well referenced and properly cited fashion. My reasoning is very simplistic really. See while Merkey may be one of those angry mastodons that we all try to avoid, he is an honorably discharged veteran of some notability. While his words, which through just a cursory investigation, definitely speak much louder than his actions. He does have what appear to be authentic discharge papers, awards in simple format, birth certificate, etc.. on his personal website. I noticed some edits he had made which included gif's of his awards and a bit more detail about his early life. Now these edits have been reverted for one reason or another. I am not contesting the removal based on whatever BLP policies, personal interest arguments or perm. banned reasons. But in order to "conform" with other articles, perhaps based on notability perhaps not, I would like to continue editing his article. After conferring with him via email and finding the references needed online I would like to present it to the talk page for discussion. Now you and I both know that this is how things are normally done, yea? But it has been my experience that working on controversial articles tends to sometimes cast people in a bad light. I have no agenda here, I am completely neutral as far as the history of the article goes and I dunno any of you from Wikipedia or any where else. This way perhaps everyone can get what they want. Which is of course an accurate and referenced biography. - 4twenty42o (talk) 08:44, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
I tried to request that your block was removed but can not (because it has already expired). Here is a copy of the statement which I made at [9] "I would like to request that this block be removed from my record. Someguy1221 said "The diff you gave of the 3RR warning actually came after the user's most recent revert." and I assume that this means the block was not issued for 3RR. He goes on to say " However, the user's general incivility leads to believe he will continue to be disruptive, so I have issued a 24 hour block." I submit that I have not been generally incivil: I have been civil on all occasions to all editors, despite repeated insults and accusations of being a troll and/or a sockpuppet. I have been less that civil one time and to one user (one of the users who has been abusing me since I registered here) and would like to apologise for that. I would like to underline that my incivility came after a certain editor cut a 684 word article down to 81 words, removed all of the 638 words which I had written and removed all sixteen of the 28 sources which do not agree with his version of history (all but one of those 16 were inserted by me)[10] I understand that there is never an acceptable reason for incivility but is provokation a mitigating factor?"Varsovian (talk) 10:31, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Examples of incivility can be found here, here (the same edit repeated), and here. I'll echo the statement that the block cannot be erased from your record, as a purely technical matter. Now, I found myself saying this only yesterday to someone else, but I'll repeat it: It's not the job of an administrator to determine who is right or wrong, or to determine which version of an article is the right one. The job of an administrator is (among other things) to use blocks and protection to maintain an editing environment that is suitable to the formation of consensus. Edit warring and incivility detract from such an environment. Outside of reverting vandalism and other extreme cases, you can't count on everyone seeing that you're right and blocking the other guy, and that's why it's important either stay civil and avoid edit warring, or know when your emotions are getting the best of you and just take a step back from Wikipedia. I hope you find a speedy resolution to the issues soon. The best way to do that, from my experience, has always been to get more editors invovled. Someguy1221 (talk) 22:40, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Please see a section Ive added to the Wikipedia_talk:Edit_filter#False_positives_in_filter_58.3F page; I think there may be a bug, either introduced by your recent edit of it, or lingering from beforehand. -- Soap Talk/Contributions 19:55, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Can you please let me know what the issue is for marking the page down for deletion? If this is an issue of notability, please refer to my talk page since I've had several conversations about this issue and the general consensus seems to be that the article is fine. Thanks! Zelysion (talk) 06:58, 26 October 2009 (UTC)zelysion
Edit: Sorry I saw your discussion page. I will respond onto that page. Zelysion (talk) 06:59, 26 October 2009 (UTC)zelysion
Someguy1221, since you originally blocked Varsovian I'm asking you for advice: This is from my conversation with user Varsovian yesterday.[[11]]:
"You really are comedy gold! Firstly, to speak for myself I have no idea which night bus I would take to get home: I use these things called taxis. Secondly my assistant says that you are an idiot (although I would never use such incivil language to you). N24 does not go to Saska Kepa: it goes to Praga-Poludnie. To get to Saska Kepa she would take N72.Varsovian (talk) 21:13, 27 October 2009 (UTC)"
He was just blocked for similar behaviour and edit warring right? [[12]] as well as warned later here[[13]]. Now he goes again and is edit warring against two editors and indirectly calling me an idiot. Someguy1221 please advice when you get a chance.--Jacurek (talk) 17:02, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Jacurek, although Varsovian's language was admonishable in that exchange, it is not advisable to go on long tangents on the talk page that are unrelated to the dispute. In the meantime, I have yet to see any reasonable steps made towards dispute resolution. You've both been talking yourselves in circles at this point, so I would recommend trying to attract other editors to the dispute (through an RFC, or by asking for contributors from relevant WikiProjects). Someguy1221 (talk) 18:41, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Was this one of Varsovians aims? [[24]]--Jacurek (talk) 21:07, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Howdy, Someguy1221. I have a peer-review request: I've listed the SENSOR-Pesticides article for peer review under the "natural sciences." I saw that you were listed as someone who was willing to be contacted for requests on the AfC project page. If you have a minute, please look over the article and offer your comments/suggestions/edits. It's not a long article, so it shouldn't take long! Thanks.

Well, when you read my last message you can see it was the last one. Now, I would be interested in hear what exactly you read. It is true I did some harassment since I posted many time in his talk page. But did you see the origin of it? The Feature picture candidates pages. My first post in his talk page was in reply of an nonconstructive response to another reviewer who was actually providing useful information. Also follow the rest of his posts in that page. Read some, that are now there and some that are in some past nominations also. Follow also the link in my last post in his talk page. I would say that I had a chronic lack of AGF. Actually, in all my posts I was hoping for him noticing that he behaved wrong with Bazoo and that his posts are usually impolite. Franklin.vp 07:55, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
I start with [[25]] (I hope you saw the one in the FPC page) and then he replies with [[26]], then I do [[27]] and then [[28]] happens. I did [[29]] in which I become hopeless about making him understand. And I think that after this you were informed. (Actually the only one posted in the ANI) In any case I go happy home since Nezzadar agreed to behave well in FPC, at least something is gained. Franklin.vp 08:26, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
I wanted to give a big THANK YOU for seeing the page and cleaning up the name at BB cream. Since you made a change instead of someone else happy to throw a CSD onto it, can I assume you think it worth a chance to play out? I would have tried to do more as a very basic cleanup earlier, but at that time there was a rather massive rush of things I'd patrolled and removed from A7/G11 where the tag was being added repeatedly or in different forms and it was hard to keep up with.
Having had some more time to actually research the topic of this article, I feel kind of dirty that it was that close to a possible delete. Even with the few news sources it started with it without even having a company home page as a link was something of a giveaway on good faith. Anyway, if you're terribly bored and feel like wandering over, I've put up message on the author's talk page and started an article talk page, but right now it's mostly as encouragement to get the new contributor to work on it slowly! I think I gave enough hints tossed around that it would avoid the peeping eyes of a PROD if it grew even a little, but perhaps I'll add one neutral referenced thing to make sure no one tries...
Again, thaaaaank you for assisting on the save. It's so endlessly frustrating when something gets a CSD tag thrown back on after I remove it with a lengthy edit summary and I'm not there to catch again, and you pretty much stopped it from starting over again.

We had attempted to resolve this situation amicably with the client, however as you are aware, this was not successful.
I have communicated the seriousness of this to the account holder and they now claim to fully understand. We have made it clear that posts made to wikipedia after today's date will result in their permanent removal from the Bell Canada Network.
Please let us know immediately should this activity continue.

Hi. I saw you blocked that IP again. Whoever it is keeps getting other people to do the same vandalism while they're banned. It's getting pretty ridiculous. They've also been hitting my talk page. There's no reason for this band to get removed. Not only did they play but they have several pictures of them performing on their Myspace page to prove that they did in fact play. I've requested protection for the page but have no idea if they will work. It'd just be nice to have another set of eyes on the page to keep reverting the nonsense.

Someguy1221, the Swedish Wikipedia editor GameOn has reverted your edit on the Moira Sullivan article. He has already been reported for harassment to the English WP arbitration bureau. Please revert the edit since he will undoubtedly revert it again as a wikihounder. Something must be done about him. His comments are falsifications, libelous and defamatory, no editor should behave as he has and an administrator has to deal with this as it has gotten way out of hand and is harmful to WP.

Hello, I'm writing about the QuickLogic article - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickLogic
The description currently online is out of date. QuickLogic manufactures CSSPs only and is not involved in ASSPs, FPGAs or Programmable Logic Devices. I'd like to suggest two edits for your consideration:
1) Update the Products category so includes CSSPs only.
2) Update the definition of QuickLogic with the following: QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK) manufactures flexible semiconductor platforms for the hand-held mobile device market. Using ultra low-power patented technology, QuickLogic supplies design solutions for the portable consumer such as smartbook, netbook, mobile internet device, smartphone, wireless data card and portable navigation markets. QuickLogic’s customized solutions are called “CSSPs”—Customer Specific Standard Products. They are built upon proprietary ViaLink technology and offer a combination of hard-wired application-specific logic and a flexible programmable fabric for customer-specific applications.
Thank you very much for your time.

Hi. Thanks so much for the speedy reply and for allowing me to edit the page. Initially I tried a couple of times to update it but my verbiage was too commercial. Is the verbiage I proposed in my previous message acceptable? I only have one more attempt before I get banned from Wikipedia.

I have put a reply to your commentTamaraStaples (talk) 07:15, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
The dispute over a particular quote attributed to a non-independent, biased source has been going on for weeks. If you read the discussion on that page you will find one, possibly two people who insist they are right to use the quote however absolutely refuse to justify it, even when it is pointed out the use of biased sources is a direct violation of WP:BLP and WP:COAT. One cannot use a non-reliable source (e.g. an editorial written by a detractor) as evidence that there is criticism of a person. You have to find a reliable third party independent source, and establish (by consensus, if the proposal is legitimately challenged) that it has sufficient weight and relevance to include in the article. The overwhelming consensus is that the quote is inappropriate however they (and one person in particular) continues to impose their opinion on the rest of the editors. A recent attempt at compromise putting the quote in context by giving the subject's point of view in order to attempt to balance the article back into NPOV was completely deleted by the persons involved. I believe if you actually go through the discussion page, you will find a large consensus opposed to the use of the criticism quote, with only one or two people imposing their opinion on the rest of us and refusing to compromise.
