Dublin Airport[edit]

Thanks for your help with Dublin Airport the IP user has returned and has changed the article again without discussion. I have reverted his change but I felt I should not protect the article myself as I may be seen as to close as I have edited the article in the past and reverted him/her before. I have tried leaving messages on various IPs but he/she has a differnt IP every time. Appreciate if you could have a another look and protect the article if you think it is appropriate. Thanks MilborneOne (talk) 20:15, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, thanks for your help with protectiong the article. MilborneOne (talk) 19:39, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mediation Cabal[edit]

I went ahead and deleted the case. Hopefully the google results should fizzle in the near future. Cowman109Talk 03:16, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Cowman,
Merry Christmas and thanks for your assistance concerning the issue raised.
However I spoke with an IT search engine expert who stated that unless the artist name itself is removed from the Mediation Cabal page, or any corollary discussions, then the artist's Wiki non-listing and associated discussions will show up on the front page of search engine results in perpetuity. Apparently that anomaly stems from the fact that search engines automatically place Wikipedia results on the first page of all artist search results, even when the result is effectively nothing more than the discussion of a non-listing. To that effect, I have taken the liberty of removing the initial query concerning this artist and would hope that you will eliminate the Mediation Cabal category entirely in order to prevent the fore-mentioned problem.
QuestionAuthority3232 (talk) 18:59, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well I'm no expert but depending on the search engine, I believe there are personalized results. In early December Google rolled out personalized search results, and I don't see the Wikipedia link anywhere on the first page. I also believe there are no references to the artist elsewhere in any Mediation Cabal pages, or at least I can't find any. If you could point it out I would be happy to delete it. Cowman109Talk 19:48, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again for your assistance. As it stands, the Wikipedia Mediation Cabal Page continues to show up for this artist, although it is now relegated to the second page. Not sure if it will ever disappear entirely because, as an IT search engine expert told me, any Google search is biased toward placing a Wikipedia search result of some kind into the artist search.
