Reverting edits

Hi,

Some of the articles I was working on, the links have been changed back to what they were before, any chance you could change them back to the link I put in? I know you can make mulitple edits at once, so I don't have to go back and change them one by one. Also, I don't want to get flagged again for the changes I am making. Thanks.

RE: Article changes & External links

Hi,

So is it okay if I go and make the edits to the ones that were changed? I will just put back in the link I had before, that is all. Also, regarding the external links issue, all I was doing was changing the 'L' to lowercase, as I was told that only the first letter is supposed to be capitalised, is that correct? Thanks for your help and quick replies! HeMan5 02:21, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can we discuss the deletion of this article. I would really like to have it up and I know there are some people that feel the same(10-15 people). --Sargw 23:49, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, I replaced your 48 hour block with an indef block as a vandalism only acount. If you disagree, feel free to put your block back. JoshuaZ 05:39, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Liberalism!

Yes, it was an error. Was working on a Wikipedia for another language. I accidentally switched browser while editing. Could you add

[[ms:Liberalisme]]

into the page please? I don't want to be seen like I'm reverting it since I've already done too much edit. __earth ^(Talk) 06:38, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!)
Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
What's New?
The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one!
A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log)
The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello.
Signed...

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

Hi again and any advice?

Hi Kukini! When I joined Wikipedia some two years ago (2!? where did that go?) you were very kind in helping me get started and sending a welcome message. I have edited here and there and it been a most enjoyable time - making great acquaintances along the way to get information into the public domain. However, I've recently hit a snag where another user keeps deleting a section and claiming plagiarism. Obviously it's not plagiarism (it's a 'firing offence' in my job and I know the issues inside out), yet the user seems to be quite keen to flame. I'm not quite sure what to do. One part of me thinks "forget it - just don't bother working on this page anymore" while another part of me thinks "surely there must be a better way". Anyway, if you go to the effect size page and see the discussion on "Aliens" (I'm not making this up, honestly) you'll see what I mean. If you don't have the time - no problem I just wasn't sure what to do. I hope you are well (I see from your pages that you've continued to make people feel welcome! Great work).

Tubezone, the propietor of an article

Hi, Kukini.

Sorry for asking your help again. I left for some weeks, to avoid an edition war, but the user Tubezone continues to act as a bully and propietor of Emiliano Zapata article. Maunus left, because he couldn´t answer arguments.

Thanks.

Gentex Corporation

Hi! I'm the Corporation Communications Manager for Gentex Corporation, and I made a substantial addition to information about our company. I wanted to know more about adding linkins with Wikipedia and outside Wikipedia. How many would you recommend. I updated our posting so it is text rich with links to internal and external sources. Further, the content has been reviewed throughout our company, as well as our own in=house curator has reviewed for factual accuracy. Please advise as how you would like me to proceed. I got the content up, and added a logo. What do you suggest for images, etc. The images we can provide are either ours or already part of the public domain from the U.S. Department of Defense. I look forward to hearing from you shortly. Thanks! Cfabrizi 17:57, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at the website and your talk page. Kukini 19:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Happyisgay

User:68.52.206.175 has taken a sockpuppet off of User:Happyisgay. When I put the tag back on, the IP user spoke on my talk page claiming to be "dougholton" of which Happyisgay is a suspected user of. Since I don't want to assume bad faith by mistake, is there any way to figure this out? -WarthogDemon 02:49, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On another note, he continues to revert and is now threatening to report me for allegedly defaming him. -WarthogDemon 03:01, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

You left this message on my talk page: Your edits leave other editors to presume that this may be a vandalism only account. Please change your approach. Kukini 03:03, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

What approach would you suggest? I plan to add information to The Record (Stockton) page, but I noticed the media links in some cities were inconsistent. I want to add a link to each city The Record covers, as all media are listed in some cities, and no media are listed in others. The point is education, not vandalism. Thanks for your guidance.

Hello I have dynamic IP from polish Neostrada. I speak very bad english and make only [[pl:interwiki]]. That's all. The same I make in cs:, ja: ........ or de:Wiki. Possible in 3 hours I will have a new IP. Clear my discission please. Best regards IP--83.11.187.112 16:43, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article and vandalism

Hi, apparently you and a few other users are upset because I've been "spamming" users on their talk pages. I am attempting to gather intereviewees for an article on Wikipedia users. I am targeting users based on other programs they're involved in. I am not harrassing them in any way. I leave one message and then leave it at that. If they want to participate, they contact me (and several have) and if they don't, they don't. I see no reason for the instantaneous harsh attiude I've gotten, nor the removal of my requests from pages as you've been doing. Could you please either stop deleting the messages or help me find a more appropriate venue to seek people out? FFFearlesss 22:40, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay well the next logical question is HOW do I email people directly? The only communication tool I've found is the talk pages. I don't want to digress too much but I'm really quite taken aback by the backlash on this whole thing. I would think a group of people so committed to producing a collaborative of knowledge would ENCOURAGE getting the word out in a way such as this and would be eager to help rather than threatening blockage and everything. FFFearlesss 00:41, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, thank you for the advice. I really do appreciate it. FFFearlesss 01:03, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pepsi unblock

Hi - I agree completely about the removal of content from Baylor University (that is - I agree with you, it should stay), and the reason I unblocked was really because the removal of the {{test1}} seemed to be a mistake (WP:AGFing here!), and because warning removal can't lead to a block. If he vandalises again, Ill blcok again! Thanks -- M a rtinp23 22:06, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's just the impression I got, since {{wr}} and variants have been deleted, and I saw something, somewhere, earlier today :P. Sorry I can't be of more help (and I may well be wrong - I think I'm wikipedias newest admin, since this morning!). Thanks M a rtinp23 22:26, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re Congrats

Thanks!! Template:Emot M a rtinp23 23:11, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Arafat

Hello, check my history, i left some notes on others for arafat, we need to correct that, ok, are you an administrator? If so, i am looking for one reliable one for months now...also no need to leave me a note, that's not what will solve problems.I know my way around here. Also, DO NOT leave answers on my ip page, but here, ok. -Historian

This user should sign her/his posts on talk pages. Kukini 22:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And you should learn how to reply, never mind, i will look for other administrator, i am not signing anything.

Such behavior will leave a user suspect to other users. Kukini 22:29, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help

Thanks for your help on the Howard W. Mattson article. It earned a DYK today in Wikipedia. I greatly appreciated it. Chris 13:24, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

3RR

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in User Talk:NorCalD503. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. NoRCaLD503 04:37, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now THIS is a rare one. A violator of 3rr who is blanking notices on his own user talk page warning an administrator who is helping him/her learn the rules and norms of wikipedia. Kukini 04:40, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware of the norms of Wikipedia. I suggest you become familar with the law regarding defamation. NoRCaLD503 04:48, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As you continue to revert warnings on your user page, you are clearly not aware of the rules and norms of wikipedia. I hope you don't choose to continue these choices, but instead choose to edit wikipedia itself. Kukini 04:50, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia is not a portal for defamation. I was deleting libelous and defamatory comments. You continue to edit the page to re-post such defamatory and libelous comments. NoRCaLD503 04:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing of the following, taken from your user talk page...is libelous nor defamatory.Kukini 04:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in Stanford University. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 03:24, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Do bear in mind that multiple editors at the Stanford article have deleted the information that you have added. This may be a sign that it is not up to snuff for inclusion in the article. You may want to think about discussing its inclusion at the talk page to see if some compromise can be worked out to include it. Additionally, it is probably useful to cite a source for the information, particularly on espn.com or something which discusses the rarity of the occurrence. —C.Fred (talk) 03:43, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I checked. Of the four people identifiable who removed the trivia, only one lists him/herself as a Stanford alum. (One Cornell, and I forget what the other one was. Myself, degrees from NC State, and the years I spent pre-transfer singing a fight song involving dropping a battle axe and the old farm were another matter entirely...but then, everybody knows that school's other song. :) ) —C.Fred (talk) 04:22, 8 August 2006 (UTC)"

Well, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. But I also retain the right to file suit contending otherwise. And unlike Wikipedia, you don't get to be the judge. NoRCaLD503 05:06, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, this is wikipedia. Kukini 05:12, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, a federal judge can ORDER Wikipedia to delete the page I want deleted for good cause shown. After Wikipedia has to hire expensive attorneys to litigate the case, of course. NoRCaLD503 05:22, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Thanks, Daniel

No problem, just trying to help. It appears that the editor has come to their senses and made an archive for the warnings. Happy editing! --Daniel Olsen 05:07, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please see [2]. --Daniel Olsen 05:43, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My user page vandalism

Thanks for the revert, I didn't expect vandalism when I wasn't on RC Patrol so it's a good thing you were around to clean it up. Thanks a lot. :)James086^{Talk | Contribs} 11:07, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hamster

I'm gonna unblock him. I have a feeling that he acted in good faith... I'll block him if he makes a bad edit again. WhisperToMe 05:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Guitarhamster

My thoughts exactly, it's just constant vandalism and the warnings haven't had any affect in the slightest ShakingSpirit^talk 05:52, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

vandal at 67.82.113.116

You've dealt with this vandal before, I just threw a third warning to his IP address: [3] His latest vandalism was on NFL. I'd nominate him for a ban/block, but that's a little beyond my wikiskills. Thought I'd draw the continued misconduct to your attention, since your discretion/skill at dealing with these issues likely exceeds mine by far.

Right-to-vanish

Kukini, can you help me out with the following:

The user in question had requested his page deleted as per right-to-vanish back in early October, and I've gotten a lot of grief for trying argue that this is indeed allowed on Wikipedia.

Note that in the last few days, Centrx has also changed m:Right to vanish to remove the reference to having talk pages removed. Now, it says that only talk subpages can be deleted. --Stéphane Charette 21:50, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Willy Loman

Click the link above and you'll see why I delinked it in the article. You'll also see why my edit summary clearly reads "redirect page."216.165.38.230 07:15, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yea. I had a username, but stopped using it. If I ever feel the need to do something an anon editor can't do, I sign in again. Otherwise I prefer my anonymity, and I only edit when I stumble across a glaring mistake while reading articles. I also like that being anonymous more or less exempts you from WP:CIVIL, or at least from the pussyfooting that is often assumed to be the meaning of wp:civil. I mean, the comment I made above would likely have resulted in at least a reminder to a registered user to be civil, but it rarely does to anons. oh well. take care.

Oh, and the lack of edit summaries is cause I'm lazy and its easier to just hit submit when I do little shit that is unlikely to be questioned when it's reviewed (like the edit you pointed to, who'll worry about me adding a wikilink to xbox360? i only use edit summaries when i do something that looks bad, like I did when i removed the willy loman wl.
