About a certain user

Hi I don't know if your a Administrator or not but I figured you were since you have been warning a certain User 69.180.145.190 about his edits. He continues to add disruptive edits without proper sources and continues to put them up even after being blocked for a week. He just doesn't learn so maybe he could be banned for a month or 2, and if your not an admin im sorry for bothering you. Deus257 (talk) 04:43, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Anyone can warn other users, you can go see WP:WARN and after final(level 4) warnings, you can report it to WP:AIV MythSearcher^talk 09:40, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Rockabilly

Thanks for helping out with the new GypsyBilly section(s). Someone had made recent comments in the Western Swing article stating (pretty much) that Django Reinhart wasn't acknowledged because of racism. The next day, or the same day, "GypsyBilly" added all that info to the Rockabilly article, which is an article I've put lots of time into, and I always hope someone will support the effort to "keep it real". Although I'm invested in many articles now, I try to not get too invested. Thanks again. Steve Pastor (talk) 20:35, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

You can report him to AN/I if he refuses to stop, and 3RR blocks might discourage him. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 05:56, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

It's easy enough to prove their connected. Just point it out when you report him. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 22:29, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Look here I'm tired of you people doing this, First I'm just trying to improve articles and I know that to you guys it seems like vandalism but it isn't, second you're block me for being suspected of have two accounts but that isn't true just because someone has similiar intrests as me doesn't mean it's me. Finally there is something want say what's the point in alphabetizing the categories of character webpages. User:Tylerwade123 —Preceding undated comment was added at 04:32, 8 February 2009 (UTC).

Dwellers of the Forbidden City

Hi! :) I have nominated the article Dwellers of the Forbidden City for Good Article status, as I feel it has undergone significant improvement from the point at which it was almost deleted. Since you were involved with improving the article, and/or sparing it from deletion, I'm inviting you to help out in any way you can to improve the article so that it may join its fellow modules, Ravenloft and Dragons of Despair as a Wikipedia Good Article. :) You may want to place the review page (which may not begin immediately) on your watchlist to keep track of the review process. BOZ (talk) 21:00, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

The article is now up for good article review, so if there is anything at all you can contribute to get the article the rest of the way there, let us know. :) BOZ (talk) 04:33, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Your CheckUser request

You recently compiled and listed a case at Sockpuppet investigations. A checkuser or clerk has requested you supply one or more diffs to justify the use of the checkuser procedure in the case, in accordance with the procedures listed in the table at the Checkuser criteria and letters page. For an outcome to be achieved, we require that you provide these diffs as soon as possible. This has been implemented to reduce difficulties for checkusers, and is essential for your case to be processed. A link to your recently-created case which has this information missing is here. Thanks for your co-operation. -- lucasbfr ^talk 10:07, 5 February 2009 (UTC), SPI clerk.

Jhelum (City)

I will bet that the uncited elements that you removed will be back very shortly. That article appears to be a place of local pride, whcih appears as somewhat spammy unsourced information. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 07:21, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for keeping an eye on this article, too. It seems that there is a different ethos in that part of the world regarding what is felt there to be notable. It is likely to be a cultural thing. But, with care, we can drag the article into being well referenced and with cited entities within it. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 16:44, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Even though i have added referances for what i have added on this page, then why some one delete it again and again? and also i m basically from jhelum city, i live there, and i know what is in city better then any one outsider. Brainlara73 (talk) 12:48am, 15 February 2009. —Preceding undated comment was added at 19:48, 14 February 2009 (UTC).

can you tell me why did you undo again and again my contribution to the page Jhelum (city), even though i have posted referances for what i have added? Brainlara73 (talk) 14:52, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm a bit confused

Perhaps you can unconfuse me. Your edit summaries speak about redlinks. Wikipedia welcomes redlinks. Please have a look at Wikipedia:Red link for the guideline. Wikipedia hates unreferenced stuff, though. When I look at the edits, unless I am missing something big, I see no redlinks that you have reverted, but I do see that you are striving for referenced material. So, in a different way is Brainlara73.

Might it be better if you two worked together to make the article fully referenced fast? Fiddle Faddle (talk) 16:34, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Tale of the shipwrecked sailor

Thanks for that, the article was becoming a chore. The editor whose stuff you removed (and who also added the references) has been given an indefinite block for original research -- he's got a history of 3 1/2 years of bans and blocks for OR and related issues. Now that's happened I shall hopefully continue improving it. dougweller (talk) 17:39, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Age of Scorpio

Just wanted to let you know that it has a sister article, Septennial cycle, which has no reliable references or apparent notability. Zazaban (talk) 17:08, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank your for your input

Based on the links you provided, I have declined his unblock request. It is clear he is evading his current block by editing while logged out. If you need any further help with this editor, please let me know. Thank you. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 06:34, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

User back at it

Hey Im letting you know User:69.180.145.190 is back making those ridiculous original research edits again. Now you and I have had our bouts with this character and I was hoping you could report him the Admins, I would but I still haven't gotten the hang of reporting vandals.

Hmmm, that is suspicious--looks like meatpuppetry at the very least. You should probably file a sock investigation case and request checkuser evidence. In case you have trouble, let me know and I can file it myself. Blueboy96 06:05, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

about the source

Yes, I was actually surprised that he actually did not just looked at the Japanese wiki on that info. The Japanese wiki actually listed 15 million instead of 3 with no source, thus not reliable. MythSearcher^talk 16:03, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Reply

No is wasn't too wordy, I'm having internet problems. Well it's almost impossible to source a character as a protagonist since the meaning is so wide. I just happened to base the meanings on the Naruto character article and it's past discussion. Also I'm not sure on the Wiki standards for character lists, but dividing characters into classes won't do. I think you should try asking a wikipedia expert to see how they'll view it. DragonZero (talk) 00:33, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello. On the Gundam Seed Character list, they are not supposed to be alphabetized. Also the protagonist and antagonist are suppose to be set in the order they appear in. DragonZero (talk) 05:22, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I disagree with your organization on the other characters as they should not be associated with the Earth Alliance or ZAFT. Also Kira's friends are not technically part of the Earth Alliance, and they just wish to tag along the Archangel to help find peace. I will undo the edit. My apologies. DragonZero (talk) 05:49, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for keeping an eye on this article. The edit-warring going on there is too ridiculous to be believed. Say--you use some kind of bot to revert to an older version? (I'm ignorant when it comes to that fancy stuff!) Drmies (talk) 17:59, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Retraction

Dear Edward, please accept my unreserved apology for suggesting that your revisions of the AIMS article were tantamount to vandalism.

Just wanted to say Hi, after having passed my recent Request for adminship. How's everything going?

I don't know if you've been around in a while, but I'd like to point out to you the success we've had with the D&D GA-drive so far: Gary Gygax, Wizards of the Coast, Dragons of Despair, Drizzt Do'Urden, Forgotten Realms, Tomb of Horrors, Dwellers of the Forbidden City, White Plume Mountain, The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, Planescape: Torment, Dragonlance, and Against the Giants, and we plan to hit Dave Arneson and Drow (Dungeons & Dragons) after some work. :)

If you're interested in coming around to check out what we've been up to, you are welcome as always. :) BOZ (talk) 17:50, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Lady Lovibond

Hi. I have checked out this article and taken off the "hoax" tag you added, because the article itself is not a hoax: the books it cites are real and, as far as I can see in Google Books preview, support what it says, except for the date being a Friday - you're quite right that it wasn't and neither book says that, so I have taken that out and inserted the words "is said to... " to indicate that the article is about stories of wrecks and sightings, rather than about any actual events confirmed by a reliable source. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:53, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

In Response

Hm, their edits are un-wiki like, granted there is little I could do in this other than watch the page. Although I will vouch for you if you report him to a admin, since he is relying on a useless source and adding original research and promoting videos he or she obviously made.

Please could you provide actual guidance on what is remains outstanding with the Black Boy Inn page?

Hi, I've removed the hoax tag you placed on Fernando Alfón de Ovando in July 2009. After doing a Google Books search, I believe that this article is about a legitimate topic. If I am in error, feel free to take this article to WP:AFD. Best, Cunard (talk) 07:47, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

I have also removed the hoax tag from Dom Fernando de Almada because it appears to be a legitimate topic; see here. Cunard (talk) 07:50, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi, you tagged Hazub as a hoax on August 14, 2009. I have been unable to verify this prince's existence, so I have nominated this article for deletion.

Same with Sutra I; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sutra I. Cunard (talk) 06:53, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Based on the two AfDs that have been closed as keep, I believe that the article creator wrote those articles in good faith. The creator even included sources, such as this one, that verified the information in Hazub. The case you mentioned above may be just an accidental error on the creator's part, not a malicious one. I don't think the other articles should be deleted because they appear to be factually correct. Best, Cunard (talk) 04:52, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of female stock characters. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of female stock characters (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Intelligent car

We all want the quiet life. I know I do. Is there a reason you didn't warn the editor about this clear vandalism? I think your lack of warning encouraged subsequent vandalism. I can understand not bothering to warn IPs, if enough time has gone past I do that myself. But account holders don't get any grace; if vandalism is found six months later, they get a warning. Oddly, my final warning stopped the vandalism, so an initial warning from you would have been helpful. If I sound bitey, I apologize, it's late here and I'm about to go to bed. Bloody vandals.
