Can You PLEASE Help Me

I'd like to file a lawsuit about wikipedia not allowing free speech. Can you please help me to do this? I have noticed, since edits are being reverteed, this is impeding my right to free speech. Can you please give me some insight into this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.31.44 (talk) 15:48, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

message

You sent me a message I was vandalising, but I am right. What I put there is true. The guy, Lauri Dalla Valle has not played football for the senior team, and for players like Buchtmann and Frimpong this was reason to delete their pages. Why not his? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.61.62.157 (talk) 21:19, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

My name is Rudolfo Garcia. I am the founder and owner of the business named Graffiti Blasters® based in Chicago IL. This business was trademarked in 1985, in the State of Illinois. Graffiti Blasters® was granted Federal Trademark staus on June 11, 2002. The Federal Trademark number is Reg.No.2,578,343 this can be verified with the U.S.Patent and Trademark Office. Your posting of information about Graffiti Blasters ® on your site does not have the registered trademark symbol ® precededing the name Graffiti Blasters® . This is a notification to others who may try to use the name with out the consent of the owner. It is very important that the trademark be respected. Otherwise, it can cause infringement by others, lawsuits, legal fees etc. That is why the symbol is supposed to be displayed in accordance to the copyright and trademark rules. I have tried to edit and correct this error on the wiki page titled Graffiti Blasters you will see that the Federal Trademark is missing. I would greatly appreciate if you can get this error corrected. It will ward potential infringement and alert others the name Graffiti Blasters® is protected under the LAW.If, you would like visit my website www.graffitiblasters.net and it will help verify my claim.I have tried to edit information in the summary but, it only gets deleted. I do not want this to become a LEGAL issue since attorneys love this type of thing . It only means MONEY for them, and expenses for you and I.

You clearly misunderstand the rights that you hold under trademark law. Your rights are as follows:

(1) Any person who, on or in connection with any goods or services, or any container for goods, uses in commerce any word, term, name, symbol, or device, or any combination thereof, or any false designation of origin, false or misleading description of fact, or false or misleading representation of fact, which—

(A) is likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive as to the affiliation, connection, or association of such person with another person, or as to the origin, sponsorship, or approval of his or her goods, services, or commercial activities by another person, or

(B) in commercial advertising or promotion, misrepresents the nature, characteristics, qualities, or geographic origin of his or her or another person’s goods, services, or commercial activities,

shall be liable in a civil action by any person who believes that he or she is or is likely to be damaged by such act.

From Title 15 Chapter 22 Subchapter III § 1125 of the U.S. Code.

You cannot trademark a word in the abstract form. You can trademark specific representations of words, such as Microsoft's logo, but a word in and of itself is merely a concrete representation of an abstract idea. No one can legally use Microsoft's logo without explicit approval from Microsoft, but merely writing or saying the word "Microsoft" when referring to the company is not covered by trademark law, nor does it require notice that the word is trademarked.

Hi, I've been working on an article in my namespace for a while now, and I wanted to know if you could give me some input, and possibly tell me how much more work, if any, I would need to do before I could make it public. My mother was one of the members of this group, and I have a bunch of great photos, but they are all from the 40's and 50's and I could never tell you who the photographers were. Is there any chance I can post any of these photos? Anyway, here is my article. Thanks! --Hatman1960 (talk) 05:34, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, the first thing you should do is add some citations to back up what you are saying, and to prove that the group is notable. Beyond that, I don't do a lot of writing, so I'm probably not the best person to ask. You might try asking User:Wizardman. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 14:50, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Vampires in new york (book) AfD tag

Sorry for being quick on the draw to restore the AfD tag at Vampires in new york (book). Since there've been issues with the original editor deleting the tags, I didn't want him to get blamed for your inadvertent deletion of the wrong tag. Otherwise, I'd have left it for you to fix yourself.

And if you're like me, you probably just selected the wrong tag. I can't speak for you, but I know I have an edit or two like that a day.

Header added

J Delanoy I am not sure but it appears that there were deletions I made to the molecule ethylene glycol dimethacrylate? I added the uniform code to find this molecule (CAS 97-90-5) and also the original reference Beilstein 2, IV, p1523. Additionally I added the formula weight 198.22 This type of reference categories is standard in international Organic polymer chemistry. For students using Wikipedia it would be important. There is no subterfuge that I am aware of Also I added the accepted abbreviation of EGDMA which is the accepted name for the ethylene glycol substituted version. Thus when a student types in EGDMA he is quickly linked to the parent copmpound where the CAS number is geven. When I typed in EGDMA wiki had no match? Thus I thought I was adding information for completeness. I do not do this regularly so I did not open an account. I am a Chemist (MD,PhD) working in polymer biotecnology. What I added was routine but cetainly would make the site much more of a resource. If this is not really acceptable then I understand. Sincerely RHK.

WHAT?!

How is it vandalism you admin clearly say I am vandalizing the article when it is who I gave it most of the information then ever, before were a few sentences and look at it now, it looks like a great article and you guys call that vandalism, I did what i had to do because you guys keep on saying that it resembles a fan site! I worked hard on the article, how does it make it a fan site?! Then you know what you should also put that for Selena's article too because it has the same type of media, music samples and pictures as Yukiko Okada's page does. 6:15 pm, 13 June 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by YukikoTV (talk • contribs) 22:16, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Blocking Vördschin killa as a sock

Hello J.delanoy - I've noticed that about a couple of days ago you blocked this user as a sock. Do you know who he/she is a sock of? If this account is a sock it should be tagged with a {{sockpuppet}} template. I've noticed that it made only two edits: one to Schweinchen Fick's talk page, and one to yours. So, I'm currently thinking it's a Schweinchen Fick sock, but I'd like to know who you think it is so I can tag it accurately. I found Schweinchen Fick because he was vandalizing JamesBurns' talk page (which I had recently turned into a redirect to his user page as JamesBurns is banned). That's also how I found Vördschin killa, when I saw Schweinchen Fick's talk page. By the way, keep up the good work: I've noticed your edits and I must say I'm impressed with how easily you deal with vandals (like as if your ten times better than ClueBot).--DisturbedNerd999 (Delete!) 23:08, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliments :-) You are correct that it's a SF sock. (I don't like saying it because it means something... unpleasant in another language) I don't tag socks, but you are free to go ahead if you want. Cheers. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 23:14, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Is there a way to prevent creation of inappropriate user names? Specifically, anything with "on wheels" (or any variant thereof) in it? Thanks, -T'Shael, Lord of the Vulcans 07:55, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Not easily, and there is really no point, since he will just use different combinations that look like "wheels". J.delanoy^gabs_adds 15:06, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

What if I sit down and figure out every combination of "on wheels" that there is? Or is that just a huge waste of my time? -T'Shael, Lord of the Vulcans 15:15, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Not just a waste of time, that is completely impossible. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 15:17, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Request for speedy closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bones and Biscuits

Hello J.delanoy, I hate to bother you about this, but I wonder if you would consider closing the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bones and Biscuits per WP:SNOW, I would wait out the entire period, except that I'd quite like to nom the article for DYK. If you believe that WP:SNOW does not apply then I will happily wait out the period of time. Also, I would ask NawlinWiki, as they are the admin who nommed it, except that their contribs show them as being offline at the moment, and I won't be editing tomorrow so I'd quite like to get this done tonight, if that's OK with you, in any case, don't feel obliged to close it just because I asked, thank you, and all the best Spitfire^Tally-ho! 19:01, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't usually close AfDs, and I don't like snow closing ones that are not extremely obvious, like 6 votes one way and none the other. You might try asking User:Juliancolton. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 19:10, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Nah, I'll leave it now, like I said, I don't want to go around asking every admin until I find one who will do it, your judgement that SNOW is a bit hasty at the moment is enough for me, thanks a lot anyway :) All the best Spitfire^Tally-ho! 19:23, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

You undid my edit because it was "unconstructive". How? He was an ex-pupil, like everyone else on that list.

More sockpuppetry

This is a continuation of above. I really hate to say this, but WP appears to be crawling with sockpuppets nowadays. According to behavioral and CheckUser evidence, HexaChord (who recently claimed that he/she was retired on his/her master account) was the sockmaster behind "SF" and Vördschin killa, as well as a whole lot of other socks that were used for WP:POINTy behavior (including Juvenille Deletionist and Deletion Mutation). I am very disappointed with this, but I just thought I should let you know. You may want to see this [9]. I am also quite shocked that HexaChord was a sockpuppeteer, kind of like how I felt when I found out about JamesBurns being a disruptive sockpuppeteer. I guess this means that you can't really know someone around here until it's too late. My trust for others around here is now quite small, but you're still one of the people that I trust plenty around here (being a great admin). Basically, what I'm saying is that this is just depressing how easily others whom I've trusted had to use socks to change my mind.
The bottom line is: Watch out for more HexaChord socks.--DisturbedNerd999 (Delete!) 17:17, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw that. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 18:09, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry but...

Sorry Delanoy but I would really appreciate a comment on the "discussion" between me and ChrisO, even if you deem that I am to blame. I am really fed up with this kingly attitude of his and I think that he is actively searching to intimidate editors (including me), with his "legalistic" arguments and highly unwikilike proposals. He (and others) throw accusations here and there (I really don't know whether this discussion about this "unnamed" editor was about me, Shadowmorph or somebody else), the mentioning of emails personally sent, as though there is some personal discussion going on between you and Taivo (I have confidence in you and the other referees, but I hope you understand that such comments raise questions), the urge for me to go away, the deletion of my "ranting" as though he still was an admin and many more such actions, which clearly do not help. If I would start a topic about "someone" who did this and that, but did not name him, if I acted in such an aggressive way would you and the other referees tolerate that? I know that my words sometimes sound ironic, but at least I am very careful with my words and I consistently try to not accuse people and whenever I think that we do not act towards Wikipedia's interest (as was the case here) I always place myself among those who should rethink and improve. Please, do take a position, even if you think I am wrong in this. GK1973 (talk) 20:42, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

ANI float-by

Hi, J.D. Could you please take a look at this? (sroll up for more history) We've got three admins (at least) saying "Salt and block", but no apparent followup. I had an e-mail conversation with DGG about it yesterday; he was hesitant to do the actual salt & block since he had issued an opinion. Said he'd ping another admin, but he seems to be out today. I'm not interested in hounding Psikxas to the ends of the earth (or the ends of Wikipedia), but I find the lack of action a little troubling. Thanks either way. —Scheinwerfermann ^T·_C04:31, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Again

Dear J.Delanoy, you said you would do something about the situation in Wikipedia talk:Centralized discussion/Macedonia. The demeaning and intimidating attitude of ChrisO is as alive as always. His arrogance and offensive attitude are clearly a matter where you as a ref should step in. Please do something or just plainly state that I am wrong and his attitude is civil and according to Wiki policy. Thx GK1973 (talk) 11:48, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Just got on, checking over pages. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 16:12, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Okay, you're going to have to be more specific. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 18:42, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

[12], [13], [14], [15] (I am not really sure about that, maybe it would be more proper to have notified an admin first?), [16], [17], [18], [19].

So..are profiling, characterizing editors hardcore nationalists, removing edits one does not like, urging editors to leave the discussion (actually this situation is the sole reason why my involvement lessened, a great victory of his I suppose...), calling for bans etc the way we should debate here? GK1973 (talk) 12:26, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually, J.Delanoy, I was actually going to write to you about this myself. I would like you to remove all references to my alleged nationality by users BalkanFever and ChrisO. That would be the entire thread of comments that was initiated by [20] and would definitely include [21], [22] and [23]. I am also asking that oversight be used to permanently delete the edits, as I consider my nationality to be a matter of personal privacy. Further to that, I am requesting that you address BalkanFever's and ChrisO's incivility ([24], [25]). Editors who do not support their POV have been blocked or banned for much less; allowing them to insult people with impunity is beginning to give the impression of two weights and two measures in conduct policy enforcement. Finally, I am now formally accusing ChrisO of attempted outing, in light of his most recent posting of off-wiki stuff in an attempt to speculate on my real-life identity and ethnicity. Please advise as to what further steps should be taken. --Radjenef (talk) 16:01, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't think you understand how the oversight tool works. Oversighting those edits would be impossible. Well, not impossible, but it would require that every single edit made to that page after the one in question also be oversighted, which is simply not going to happen. Also, while I do not think anything was gained by saying what he did, ChrisO did not out you. Anyone looking at your editing patterns and comments would come to the conclusion that you are Greek, or at the very least, that you are very sympathetic to the Greek side of this issue.

If you still think that ChrisO's comments relating to that are an issue, you should probably talk to him. Which, incidentally, is what both of you should have done in the first place. Why is it that anyone in a dispute immediately comes running to me (or whoever has "power") instead of just talking to the individual that you have a problem with. I don't get why that concept is so difficult to grasp. If you cannot get a satisfactory conclusion after talking to him, post to WP:ANI.

As far as the diffs you and GK1973 gave, once again, talk to the people you have a problem with, and ask them to tone it down. After I finish my current project, I will make a post to the main discussion page about decorum.

And finally, with regard to Radjenef's implied accusation that I am playing with two standards here, ("Editors who do not support their POV have been blocked or banned for much less.") please give me ONE example where I have been impartial. As far as I know, there have been only two people blocked and/or banned as a result of their edits to the discussion pages. One was wiki-lawyering to evade a topic ban imposed on him by the Arbitration Committee. The other was a sockpuppet of someone Future Perfect at Sunrise apparently disagreed with in the past, and was only contributing in order to harass him. In any case, the sock's response to my ban notification clearly shows what his intentions were. Are you seriously suggesting that what ChrisO and BalkanFever have said is comparable to sockpuppetry and overt evasion of an ArbCom-imposed ban? J.delanoy^gabs_adds 17:05, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't referring to you, J.delanoy, I apologise if it sounded that way. I was referring to the way things were handled prior to the commencement of the generalized discussion. It goes without saying that we are all thankful for all the time and effort you (and the other referees) have put into overseeing the discussion. --Radjenef (talk) 17:19, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

As far as speculations concerning my nationality go... I understand why someone might deduce, after checking my editing patterns, that I am sympathetic to the Greek side of this issue (even though my views are always backed up by a policy rationale). But to speculate on nationality is a different thing, especially when people allege to track my off-wiki actions. Looking at people's editing patterns I could easily deduce that Future Perfect, ChrisO, Taivo and many others are sympathetic to the Republic's side of this issue. That wouldn't give me the right to claim that they have some connection to the Republic. These people have been asking that Greeks be excluded from the discussion because of bias. Now, I guess, they're asking the same thing, not for Greeks, but for people they deduce to be Greek? This is the ugly slippery slope I was referring to during arbitration: "Anyone who disagrees with us must be Greek, so they should be excluded from the discussion". I guess I'll go post at ANI if worse comes to worse. --Radjenef (talk) 17:57, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

No one, I repeat, no one is going to be banned/blocked for anything other than their own actions. Full stop. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 18:38, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I have clearly stated to him on many occasions that I find his attitude demeaning and offensive. He never denied it, he just pushed on. What else should I do? Writing here was not my first attempt to oppose his "style" of writing. GK1973 (talk) 07:03, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Please give us a break

please give us a break on the editing it was funny right? :) we wont vandalize any more although you might find others that we vandalized earlier. we are sorrey but there is nothing we can do about the ones we already vandalized from: the people who vandalized chubby cox,stay out of my life,mark wood, and the adventures of tom sawyer. :(

First off, vandalism is not funny. It damages the hard work of other editors, and is some cases it is defamatory. Second, the vandalism to the other articles you vandalized has been removed...

YES! That was very upsetting - I don't see why the article was deleted. Crabcore was even recently referenced in an article in The Guardian, a large UK newspaper. Why did you vandalize the page?76.112.235.92 (talk) 11:51, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

banned

You have banned user Spis Ikke Gul Snø. Personally, I would ban anyone using the term f*** when addressing fellow users. As an administrator, I now ask of you to find out this user's IP address and, if possible, whose shockpuppet he/she is. Politis (talk) 12:03, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Simply being an administrator is not enough to find out what someone's IP address is. You have to be a checkuser to be able to do that, and I am not. Sorry. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 15:41, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

J.delanoy is right... a checkuser is needed, and those are rather sparse around here, due to the nature of the userright. Also, it's sockpuppet, not shockpuppet :) UntilItSleeps ^{Public PC} 17:47, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I am allowed to keep my page as I see fit. I want no page.
I am not spamming arbitrators. It is called discussion. Go to the dictionary & lookup the word. & honestly, your opinion of what Im doing matters not. If the page owners have a problem they'll let me know. 173.79.58.33 (talk) 18:04, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

See WP:BLANKING. By the way, that is exactly what the arbs will tell you. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 18:08, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I read that long ago. My favourite part is this : Policy does not prohibit users, including both registered and anonymous users, from removing comments from their own talk pages, although archiving is preferred... Repeatedly restoring warnings does nothing but antagonize users, and can encourage further disruption; removal of template warnings is rarely an urgent or important matter, and it is often best to simply let the matter rest if other disruption stops. 173.79.58.33 (talk) 18:31, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Comments yes, ISP headers no. You know this, and yet you have done it multiple times over the last few months. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 18:34, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Comments, isp headers,newsletters,wikilove, & any other thing posted that I dont want. Why? Bc it is my page.
There is no need for my ISP to be shown. This is not a shared ip. If you all will run the checks you claim you will do you will see this.
And the archives show all info it isnt neccessary for it to be posted.173.79.58.33 (talk) 18:38, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

A Request

User:ChildofMidnight has started a thread, which I believe is nothing but him looking for an arguement with anyone and everyone. I boldly closed it and archived it (with the archive top and bottom templates) and was reverted by CoM. Would you mind taking a look at the thread and see if it needs to be closed. If any admin closes it, CoM is less likely to revert. If you wish not to get in the middle of this mess, I will completely understand. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 02:48, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Crabcore is a real genre, Respect!

I disagree with your decision to delete the article on Crabcore as it was somewhat informative and provided good examples. Its stub-like articles like these that help people learn about the new emerging trends in music and the media. I remember this same thing happened back with Hollywood Undead, mods deleted their page claiming that they were not a real band even though they had an EP out and stated one of the reasons why as being "joke band in a joke genre". I think it would be unwise to make a similar mistake, please reconsider un-deleting the crabcore article.

Hi J.delanoy, here when you prepared the page for RfC you removed proposal C. I'm not sure whether this was intentional or not. Could you please clarify? Thanks, BalkanFever 08:41, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it was intentional. On the main page, I described why I chose the proposals that I did. Specifically in this case, no one who chose Proposal C said that it was their "first choice". J.delanoy^gabs_adds 13:08, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Odin5000

Might I suggest that you take a look at Odin5000's contributions list? This looks very much like a sleeper sockpuppet account, probably of one of the many editors blocked for disruption in this topic area, possibly one of those sanctioned by the ArbCom. A checkuser probably wouldn't be inappropriate (though I know you can't do that yourself, of course). -- ChrisO (talk) 16:13, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Note

Just a note to say I'm suspicious that the IP you blocked earlier is possibly an IP sock of User:ColScott, of whom I ran afoul because of repeated sock activities. I'm mostly basing that on what is essentially stalking of my contributions to revert and add the reference to my vision problem (which is misrepresented in the edit summary).

OTRS query

Sorry to bother you, but you're the first name I recognised on the OTRS lists and I'm unfamiliar with The Ways Of OTRS.

There's a book cover: File:LeapIntoLegend.JPG. It's in use on the artist's page, has been used on the author's page (then removed, the image deleted, now the article AfDed) and would be useful on the article for the book subject Bluebird K7, as there's seemingly nothing else available that isn't copyrighted. The image page seems to claim both OTRS permission by the artist for the artist's page (alone?) whilst retaining copyright, yet it's also tagged (correctly?) as being GFDL and CC-by-sa.

This puzzles me. If it's CC-by-sa, then it's free for use on any article, can't be restricted to one article, and why would there need to be an OTRS ticket at all? Is it really licensed under CC-by-sa?

Can you please either clarify this, or point to where I ought to be looking. Thanks. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:50, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Grnch

Hi again! Would you say that User:Grnch would be classified as a Macedonia-focused WP:SPA since all of his other edits were minor edits done two years ago [29]? If yes, then would the WP:SPA accounts do not get to !vote ruling apply to him too? --Radjenef (talk) 00:16, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Also, could we request for a Checkuser? This user's knowledge of wikipedia policies seems strange given their list of contributions. --Radjenef (talk) 01:54, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

I am not an active editor, but still a regular reader and user of Wikipedia for several years, so it is natural that I have become familiar with WP policies and other WP lore over the years. Checkuser will reveal that I am logging on from my home cable connection which has a semi-static IP address that hasn't changed since last year.

I am disengaging that user for now as the situation seems hopeless. He has been reverting all my edits and responds to my talk page comments with personal attacks. For the love of God please enforce 1RR: [30], [31], [32]. Note that the last revert used a personal attack as a response to my policy rationale. --Radjenef (talk) 02:29, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Unilateral editing of Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Macedonia/main articles

User:Radjenef is making unilateral edits to proposal text without discussing them first ([33] [34] [35]), even though we already entered the RfC phase. I reverted them with explanatory comments ([36] [37] [38]). Could you please take a look at this and clarify whether such unilateral edits are allowed at this point?

It was not clear to me what is the status of proposals at this point. If reverting was the wrong thing to do, I apologize and I will accept any sanctions you deem appropriate. --Grnch (talk) 02:28, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Donscalos

I've posted an article yesterday about Paul Roche The man died in 2007 and was a very important Poet and writer, translated classic Greek tragedies that had never been before. Not to mention that he was part of one of the most important art group in England in the 20th century. He's a published author and still after his death has lot of followers and fans. Yesterday I tried to replace an article and it is just unfair that it was deleted. Paul Roche (the writer poet) is mentioned as a reference in several articles on Wikipedia but the results of that research is Paul Roche, young sportsman from Ireland with a text as small as his success and importance in the world.

This isn't great and makes the content on several articles irrelevant( Like the one about Duncan Grant). Also it is morally important to bring up the most important information first in an encyclopedia. If my cat was called Barrack Obama and had killed 50 mice I wonder if it would be great to have "Barrack hussein Obama president of the United States of America since 2009" as research keywords because my puss would be taking the space. Well it's a about the same thing Between Paul Roche, an amazing Poet, an acclaimed published writer who wrote a movie script "Oedipus the King" where Orson Welles played and an unknown young man from deep deep Ireland who won a few competition at an obscure sport in his local villages. I don't think the one that comes up first should be the sportsman. Also the content of his article is very poor like his career that still really hasn't taken off. I think Wikipedia should be culture orientated and not become a blogging platform for anyone who fancy's himself as part of an encyclopedia. Even if I might post this article in several blogs :)

Also, as an answer to your comment I wanted to say that the author of this article gave me full rights to publish her text. She actually wrote it for the telegraph not the opposite. She's a writer herself. There's no right violation and I can prove it.

My questions are. How do I make sure that this article won't be deleted after 5 minutes again and could we ask the sportsman to add "Paul Roche Hurling player" ? since his tiny career in hurling is not very important compared to the other Paul Roche's achievements over 91 years and that the nice article I'm trying to post might be important for lot of students in literature and classics. Also everytime someone will mention the important Paul Roche (people are unlikely to write in an article Paul Donald Roche (poet)) on Wikipedia he will find that unimportant person instead. It will be a bad thing for culture I think. I won't let go about this one, it just doesn't make any sense.

• "Tell me, what is there to reference? Your lack of knowledge of a basic English word? Your blatant dislike for me and obviously, my people?"

Followed by the deletion of a reference.[41]

Is it because you are still logged in on your old account? - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 17:45, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I had it until yesterday, How long do I have to wait until it forwards my watchlist and contrib history to the new one? I don't want to lose 3000 contribs. How do I log out of the old one? it has a redirect. There is a Road, No Simple Highway (talk) 17:47, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

It is because you are still logged in on your old account. You see, that edit to this talk page came from Special:Contributions/HellinaBucket. Your new user name is User:Hell in a Bucket, log in as that and you'll have autoconfirmed back, along with your watchlist and contribs - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 17:45, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Try logging out and logging back in as your new username. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 17:49, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

You sir are a genius, thank you it worked! Hell in a Bucket (talk) 17:51, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm not vandalising u idiot, i'm changing that bike racers statistics to what they actually are, this guy only joined Moto GP two races ago so he has no rave wins or fastest laps, all statistsics from other seasons(apart from all time points, race starts and chapionships) stop reporting people when u don't know anything about it yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.155.248.188 (talk) 21:32, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

User talk:Wiki libs

Hi there. It's not really any of my business, but I was wondering why you made this reversion. I couldn't think of any reason, nor was there any explanation in the edit summary, but I've seen you around enough to know that you don't really go around vandalising talk pages. There's still plenty for me to learn about what's going on behind the scenes here, so I just wanted to see what was up. Thanks. — Bdb484 (talk) 02:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I blocked the user who made that edit, so afterwords, I went through and undid all his edits. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:13, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Sorry about the mistake on the abuse filter. I think I fixed the problem now and am monitoring the latest change a little more closely. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:30, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

It's not a problem. You know enough to actually do something about it, I only know enough to know that that particular change was the one I needed to undo :P J.delanoy^gabs_adds 05:40, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

You did the right thing. =) The latest revision is better behaved. No false positives anymore, though I suspect that it will not be as effective in the long run. The change probably makes things a little more dense to read, but it is not going to trip over so much stuff now. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

why vandalism?

I was just posting as TruthPrevailsAgain and you blocked me and I don't understand why. My edits weren't vandalism at all, they were made in good faith. For example: The BOOMj article should say it targets Boomers and Jonesers. The references that were there clearly show that it shoulod include Jonesers. The 'about us' section of their website specifically says they target Boomers and Jonesers. The GenY page should read Boomers and Jonesers, as many artilces on this topic indicate. Why did you think I was vandalising? And why did you immediately block me 20 seconds after warning me? I follow this topic, and saw that another editor was blocked yesterday, and I'd like to help make these pages accurate. Would you please lift this block? Thank you.Blonde field (talk) 17:29, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Could you please respond to this request? I'd like to make some edits but am concerned that you may mistakenly think that I'm vandalising. The edits I'll make are in good faith, based on my knowledge of these topics.Blonde field (talk) 19:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I blocked this incarnation; you are clearly a functional reincarnation of blocked WP:SOCKPUPPET TreadingWater. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:36, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

You may request an unblock (under User:TruthPrevailsAgain) using the normal procedures. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
