Hi - you previously blocked 64.108.146.33, and it has expired, allowing the kids (it's obviously a school in Janesville, WI) to continue rampant vandalism. Could you please block again? Thanks!Iulus Ascanius (talk) 18:12, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article on Sonal Shah is not balanced and I am not sure why you reverted it back.


your revert

Please explain why you reverted my edit. Per policy, IP users may remove content from their user talk pages just like anybody else. I removed stale warnings and placed a notice pointing out the IP is shared by BlackBerry users. Please revert your edit; it was not constructive. 206.53.144.101 (talk) 20:33, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, i was getting to explaining when you reverted my edit. If you look at the Peaches (artist) page you can see that there are two history sections I deleted the redundant one. - Jeff Klassen

Help

Hi, Can you kindly help me to create a subcategory in your blog, wherin people of similar interest can discuss about rather than posting them in miscilinous which is cumbersome to be traced and hence more difficult to expect an answer? my topic of interest is Six sigma.Thank youVikram79 (talk) 20:09, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Block

Hello, sir. Regarding this block, they've vandalised their talk page at this diff, so using another IP I've given them a Level 4im warning. However, they've vandalised First Amendment to the United States Constitution at this edit. I don't know why it was blocked for only 24 hours, anyway. --79.74.68.121 (talk) 07:50, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: my talk page

Well, sometimes I don't feel the edit deserves a warning for various reasons. For example, I usually don't warn people for "ZOMG!! I can't believe they actually let you edit this!!!11!!" type edits because I have seen a few cases where I warned someone for that and they started vandalizing (I'm not sure if it was connected, but it's definitely possible). Also, there are some cases where I don't really want to let the vandal know that their edit has been reverted because they will come back to vandalize the page again.

Need advice

Hi Kukini, I have a question and thought of you. I was asked by another editor to help with a dispute and I think the original issue is solved. However, the other editor involved has multiple accounts that are declared on the individual account pages. The article involved has been heavily edited by this user under all three accounts. Although I cannot find any malicious edits, would this be condidered sockpuppetry? The article involved is Paella and the other editor is User:LuisGomez111. Your help would be appreciated. Shinerunner (talk) 21:36, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Problem solved, the editor in question was indeed using sockpuppets and has had his accounts blocked.Shinerunner (talk) 11:02, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do your research before performing erroneous reverts. All Muslims believe the same thing regarding Jesus. 69.115.150.3 (talk) 19:50, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not even all Christians believe the same thing regarding Jesus. --Kukini háblame aquí 19:51, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I fail to see how that is relevant. 69.115.150.3 (talk) 19:53, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is erroneous to state that all of any group believe the same thing about anything. Although, you might say that certain beliefs are common, for example: Jesus in Islam. Kukini háblame aquí 19:55, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Really? Where does that article indicate there is a difference of beliefs among Muslims? The only place you may find a difference is among the Ahmadis, an ostracized group. Even then, Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah is not an Ahmadi and that section about Jesus in his article is therefore redundant. 69.115.150.3 (talk) 20:00, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I left off the item you deleted. Although I do not agree that all Muslims or all Christians or all Hindus believe the same thing about pretty much anything. It is far to sweeping of a generalization. Perhaps the wording in the wiki article I referenced needs to be cleaned for accuracy. Peace,Kukini háblame aquí 20:09, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism Notice

Hi - I got a message from you with respect to my user address. Your assessment was absolutely correct, in that the IP address is registered to the City of Toronto (where I work). To be clear, I registered as soon as I started coming to Wikipedia, and don't make ANY edits unless I'm logged on. Additionally, if you check the records, you will see that I registered around the end of Aug, 2008, which is when I began coming here. The record of incidents for this IP address go back for MONTHS before that! I'm not sure who here is playing games with vandalism etc. (heaven knows, we employ a few immature idiots, just like lots of other big employers), but I am here as a contributor. You've got the wrong guy! You can verify my contributions and participation with those at the WPMED Task Force on Emergency Medicine and EMS, or with User:WhatamIdoing?, who has reviewed and edited most of my contributions. Just responding to your contact. I hope this sorts out some of the confusion! Cheers Emrgmgmtca (talk) 10:03, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thanks

Hello Kukini. Thank you very much for your support in my recent Request for Adminship, which was successful with 111 supports, 0 opposes, and 0 neutral.

Whoever or whatever is behind 199.216.233.3 seems to only be capable of going into pages and deleting information since 2006. I think it'd be prudent to investigate and give them a fatter block period. Thank you, Sopwith07 (FRASER)

Page: Feminism

Hey, thanks for reverting Denidowi's insert of that paragraph for lack of citation. I would advise (I am but a lowly gnome, but I would advise) that it be kept out of the article - she tried inserting it several times in the past few days, sometimes with a citation and sometimes without, but a citation won't make something true, and antifeminism is alive and well. Refusing to accept untrue content on Wikipedia is hardly censorship, whatever she may claim... Roscelese (talk) 00:44, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Baia Mare

Sorry, I use Mozilla and at the end of each session I delete all private information, therefore sometime I just forget to log in back to Wikipedia. However, before deleting my work, please pay a little bit of attention to see the difference. No offence. Regards, Oliviu

I am going to complain

If you delete my work I am going to complain. Please read the old article to see how badly it was written.

Baia Mare (2)

If Wikipedia encourage the badly written articles, like Baia Mare is right now, then I have no option but to close my account and never visit this website again. I just wanted to make a contribution to the world and to present the Baia Mare, my hometown. But it seems that for you is quantity and not quality that matters. Not to me!

Quality does matter on wikipedia, as does protocol that demonstrates respect for the views and work of other editors. Your edits do things such as delete people who are clearly notable and add people who have no current evidence of notability. Such work does not seem to be improving the article. --Kukini háblame aquí 14:18, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If it does matter... what about the following

The city is situated in the vicinity of the Gutâi and Igniş Mountains and then The city is situated in the Baia Mare valley

History, is very difficult to read, as there is a free translation from Romanian language with no paraghraphs. Moreover, some wording is nonsense such as Bronze Epoch

The Natives sections, which by the way, I created, include some not very important names, such as Balmos, a footballer who never played above the fourth league. I just wanted to clean it up. Finally, the article presents a distorted reality, which you can't tell it because you do (did) not live in the town. For example, how come Baia Mare can be named "city"?!

But I had enough. Unless you apology to me, I am out of here.

Please see your talk page. --Kukini háblame aquí 15:05, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, and I should translate what I replied to him about you: "The user in question, being an administrator, is probably (not certainly, but probably) trying to help you - it's important that we assume good faith." Hopefully that will help assuage his concerns. - Biruitorul Talk 17:34, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You!

Dear Friend,

Thank you for the firm but friendly reminder. Sorry for not leaving reasons for editing. Sometimes I don't realize it's that important. I will from now on. I mainly "improve" articles that fail in proper English prose. And, I also wish to be thorough so the audience or readers are given more information that some articles lack.

You should closely watch all edits. Sorry for not signing posts. I forget to do that sometimes, but the bots usually pick it up right away, so I didn't think it was a big deal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.183.171.30 (talk) 15:14, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Duanesburg High School"

Hi there,

I was looking for a page for my old high school, Duanesburg High School, and found that one had been deleted on Feb. 11, 2008, apparently for containing negative and untrue information regarding some living person. Instead of starting a new page, is there any way to get the old one back, but with the offensive parts removed?

Thanks!!

You guessed right

Thank you for protecting the talk page of my main account. You're right: I want it indefinitely protected. I will stop my sock-puppet activity if the page remains indef protected - but otherwise, I will be back to restore that content. Again, and again, and again. I'll do it as many times as required. All that can be prevented simply by keeping the page blocked. And yes, as you've guessed, I am a sock-puppet of Skoojal. I won't be posting with this account again. Go ahead and block.

Thanks for your warm welcome and editing assistance, Kukini

Hey Kukini:

Thanks so much for your warm welcome and editing assistance. As a wikipedia newbie, there's much to learn. I added much material for US and international audiences as I have taught SC abroad and in the US. I'm frustrated by the current spanner that says the article still leans primarily toward USA when it is more internationalized than it was, but we're limited by what is/is not being done by counselors outside the US on the page. Any ideas for how we can increase the internationalization even tho we know that SC is still primarily a US-centric profession; my goal in editing is to INCREASE the internationalization of SC, so I'm all for more voices here.2yummy (talk) 02:29, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Nick Sideras

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Nick Sideras, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

appears to be a "fake" article - external links either do not exist or do not mention subject at all

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

CNN Article - Got some citations for you. Please Help Me with the Unreliably Sourced Statement

Hi. I saw your comments on the CNN talk page in which you claimed - in response to another user's claims that CNN had a liberal bias - "Please add citations to back your claims. Avoid using weasel words when making claims." Well, here are some peer-reviewed, scholarly articles to back that claim:

-->Jeffrey N. Weatherly, et al, “Perceptions of Political Bias in the Headlines of Two Major News Organizations,” Harvard International Journal of Press/Politics (2007) (12), 91 at p. 97 (finding that “Overall, participants . . . rated the headlines from CNN as significantly more liberal than those from FOX News. . . . CNN tilted more to the left than did FOX News. The conclusion that CNN’s headlines were perceived as more liberal than FOX News’, rather than FOX News’ headlines’ being perceived as more conservative than CNN’s, is supported by the finding that overall, the headlines from FOX News were rated slightly on the liberal side of neutral. If FOX News’ headlines had been perceived as biased toward the conservative viewpoint, then the overall ratings should have exceeded 50 percent.”)
-->Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy, Harvard University, & Project for Excellence in Journalism, “The Invisible Primary – Invisible No Longer: A First Look at Coverage of the 2008 Presidential Campaign,” p. 32 [3] (noting that “The CNN programming studied tended to cast a negative light on Republican candidates—by a margin of three-to-one. Four-in-ten stories (41%) were clearly negative while just 14% were positive and 46% were neutral. The network provided negative coverage of all three main candidates with McCain fairing the worst (63% negative) and Romney fairing a little better than the others only because a majority of his coverage was neutral.”)

Please note that at the beginning of the CNN article (fourth paragraph down), the following statement appears: "Among the general public, CNN has a more centrist perception.” The source for this proposition is FAIR, FAIR being a “progressive media criticism organization” whose “target invariably is bias on the right” [4]. Needless to say, FAIR is not a reliable source. Will you please help me to get rid of this statement on the CNN article? It not only is backed by a patently biased source, it is actually REFUTED by peer-reviewed, university-sanctioned sources. Thanks. Jm131284 (talk) 03:54, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Continued vandalism

User 155.188.183.5 (contribs) has vandalized again after your final warning. However, he has made constructive edits. Maybe it's more than one person—maybe you should encourage that the good user get an account and block the IP. Jchthys cont. 21:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maria Dimitrova picture rights

I already contacted the press secretary in charge on the department, which deals with article and pictures for that Gov. wing.

The article is 100% typed by me, using the data offered (reputable + confirmed) in translation. The picture is 100% free of copyrights issues, since all press releases (printed/electronic) are required to be under law (Dominican Republic derechos intelectuales en publicaciones de caracter publico, en uso de medios del estado *Ley organica de derechos reservados en la prensa estatal, art 301 guion 2 sec 5 derechos de prensa y publicaciones de caracter oficial y del estado) for public/gov issues.

Being this a gov office, timing is not one of their best assets...

As indicated, I asked for the release rights to be e-mailed from the mail server with the same source as the picture/article.

I'll be resending (forwarding) the e-mail to your address provided as soon as that takes place! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reynaldopichardo (talkcontribs) 17:23, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chronology of the bible

Hi, and thanks for the warning abt the edit war at chronology of the bible. Lisa is very upset about this - she's a very religious person and doesn't like anything that suggests that the bible might have contradictions etc - and that makes discussion pretty futile (I've tried).

Questions about BLP noticeboard

Kukini, could you clarify how this works? I placed a complaint against a user for a disruptive edit (which violated WP:BLP, no revert without consensus). All I got for that was two personal attacks posted there in response; as far as I can tell, no action was taken on the original complaint. Am I expecting too much? What exactly should I expect after making a complaint on the BLP (or other) noticeboard regarding a disruptive editor? I was considering making a complaint about the NPA violations, but will that work any better than the BLP notice?

Hi. In 2006 you blocked User:Dahat1992, a vandalism-only account. The user has now asked to be unblocked. The vandalism deserved the block, but it wasn't that horrendous.
