Repeated reverts to Global Cooling page

Would you mind answering the question I've asked about repeated reverts on the Global Cooling talk page? Thanks Smptq (talk) 16:35, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

July 2008

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Global cooling. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Brusegadi (talk) 16:52, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

UHI Fraud edit

Re your edit summary [1]: I did. Please read WP:BLP: "Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons — whether the material is negative, positive, or just questionable — should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion,...it is not our job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives...This policy applies [...] to biographical material about living persons on other pages". An opinion piece is not a a reliable source, and either is E&E (and anyways, that single source should be clearly attributed). --Stephan Schulz (talk) 20:19, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

How do you know it is an opinion piece? Where is the policy stating that any piece by a long-established journalist in a reputable newspaper is not a good source. Where is the policy saying that a peer-reviewed article in E&E is not a good source. And what do you mean by "single source"?--the E&E paper was published almost three months after the newspaper article. None of your arguments seems to stand up, and I have already made this point on Talk:Urban heat island. AlfBit (talk) 22:24, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

If you had read WP:BLP and WP:RS you would knew for what we can and cannot use opinion pieces. It is an opinion piece because it is a column written by a named columnist and is published under the Opinion section of the newspaper. It's also more than obvious that no sane editor would allow phrases like "crockumentary" in anything but an opinion piece. The E&E piece is by Keenan, the same person referenced in the PPG. Hence "one source". --Stephan Schulz (talk) 22:43, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Your user page

I'm guessing your user page message is a joke. But it violates the rules of contributing to wiki; all text must be reproducible William M. Connolley (talk) 20:22, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Of course it is a joke: there is nothing else on the page, besides the copyright notice. People who have insufficient capacity to get the joke are expressly prohibited from reading the page. AlfBit (talk) 22:16, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Edit Warring

You appear to be edit warring on Keith Briffa to force a reference that other editors disagree with and which has been questioned under BLP. BLP vios will not be tolerated. If there is no consensus to add the reference then you may not re-add it. Please stop or blocks will be dished out. Spartaz ^Humbug! 16:33, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

• You were reverting another editor on a BLP who queried a source and cited BLP in their edit summaries. There were two user opposed and only you supporting the source. That is the definition of an edit war. Spartaz ^Humbug! 17:08, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
  • Do that edit again without a consensus and you will get blocked. Spartaz ^Humbug! 08:46, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of John Hirst (businessman)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on John Hirst (businessman), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Ghorpaapi (talk) 11:26, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Dear Alfbit ! thank you for the remarks. Yes, I did a mistake and I apologize. The article has enough notability indeed. Ghorpaapi (talk) 12:00, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Ways to improve John Hirst (businessman)

Hi, I'm Sander.v.Ginkel. AlfBit, thanks for creating John Hirst (businessman)!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Hi, I like the article but I can't check the second link/source (access denied), because of that I added the more references tag. Regards

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Sander.v.Ginkel (talk) 14:20, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
