[edit] Nachmansohn article

Hi, thanks for your advice. I'm a first time contributor and I'm having a bit of trouble adding references to the stub; how exactly does one do this? Or is there a useful page to explain it, because I can't seem to locate the details . Also, I intend to write more on Nachmansohn but not until I'm finished with a research project on his life; is it possible that the stub will be deleted before I can add more? Thanks for all of your help, - NatalieM (talk • contribs) 14:06, November 6, 2006

[edit] IFE

IFE should be in the firefighting and fire categories even if one of those cateogories comes within the other. I don't think five categories is excessive for one article. I thought the idea of the categories is to show articles in as many places as possible. You could remove it from Fire, but not firefighting, as the IFE provides qualifications for civilians and fire officers alike, so I think it should definitely feature in that category.

[edit] Possible Sockpuppet Trouble

I would take action myself but since I appear to be part of the conflict I think perhaps I should ask someone familiar. If you'll recall User:Mr Bullockx from [1], I think he has just created a sockpuppet: User:MinervaSimpson. The account was created only an hour ago and almost immediately began putting up articles for deletion, including some of mine (and on those the user has made what appears to be personal attacks). The user also seems to be behaving just the same way as the former user did, (stalking my edits?) and has recently posted copyright work (which has just been deleted). I think this could be a sockpuppet, but since I am not sure and since I also don't want to get into a serious confrontation or a serious bout of bad faith, I'd rather you look it over since I believe you have a little familiarity with this situation. Thanks. -WarthogDemon 06:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

See [2] and he/she also created an AFD for a DAB page, nuts --ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 07:04, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Shall I rewrite there what I just told you here? -WarthogDemon 07:11, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I think you should --ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 07:12, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Done. For the most part, I copied/pasted what I just wrote here, if that's acceptable. -WarthogDemon 07:23, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poptarts

Thanks. Yeah, someone else was on it too, he got a "welcome" message from a user named James something at the same time. I've been using recent edits and manually looking for vandalism, is there a more sophisticated way? Also, is there a stock thing to post on someone's userpage (you know, the "your edit to page worked!...") I've just been sort of making it up and telling them they can contact me if they have questions. Thanks! Avraham 09:53, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

It's best to use canned messages such as these Template:TestTemplates - making sure to add subst:, I use those for 99% of the messages I give, I have a few others I created from some admin posts I've seen. As far as finding vandalism, I just have a lot (whoops I just checked and it's almost 8,000) articles on my watch list, those that get vandalized a lot stay on the list and keep popping up, those I get bored with fixing I remove from the list. When someone vandalizes, I check his other recent contribs and tag those also, since there are a lot of repeat offendors. --ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 10:03, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blank Talk page

Please don't interfer with my Talk or User page. Its blank at the moment by choice. I wish to discourage others leaving abusive messages. Mu User page is blank for the same reason. The legit message you reinstated had already been replied to by me on the appropriate page as requested. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.156.89.65 (talk • contribs).

Sorry, but in my opinion, it is not correct for a person to remove warnings from his own talk page. Legitimate warnings are not considered abusive messages. Also, since much of the page blanking and this message is from an IP address (I have changed the signature, since it could well be forged), I have no idea who you really are, and consider it vandalism by an unknown IP address. You cause great confusion if in fact you are editing using both a user name and an IP address. --ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 02:21, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A pleasant thanks

I'm sorry, but it was my virgin vandalism, so I picked Boutros (Boutros Boutros) Boutros-Ghali. It seemed like a high traffic page. You're message was so polite, informative, and direct. Thank you. I do not intend to vandalize again, it was just an experiment. In fact, I'm interested in becomming part of the wikipedia community, although not to an all-consuming extent. Is there someone willing to adopt me and teach me the ropes? Thanks. --Tomorronow 15:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)tomorronow

Thank you very much for your co-operation, users vary in their response to warning messages, as you can see from the following thread, so it's refreshing to see your post. As far as help, the best thing is to take a look at Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User, unfortunately due to other demands on my time, I generally only have time for quick jump-in, jump-out, cut and paste work on Wikipedia. If you have any problem getting signed up for "adoption" ask me again. --ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 02:35, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.--Roccobattaglia 21:18, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

You are the one removing warnings about prior vandalism from your talk page, keep it up and you will get blocked. --ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 21:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

You are wrong. The initial warning was vandalism as I was not guilty of vandalism. therefore I was right to delete it. You are vandalising my page.--Roccobattaglia 21:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning.
The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Roccobattaglia 21:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I think you would be wise to check that my initial edit was in fact vandalism. It seems that you are harrassing me for no good reason.--Roccobattaglia 21:28, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Note, these above warnings were not issued in the approved sequence, you can't issue a test warning immediately followed by a test4 and tell someone they will be blocked, that in itself is another form of vandalism. Erasing talk page messages without discussion is a no-no, if you believe you have received a warning incorrectly, then discuss it with the person who issued the warning, and ask them to remove the warning, serially erasing warning messages seems like an attempt to hide the evidence and issuing warning messages to other editors in retalation is not a good idea. See also [3] --ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 21:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

You are wrong. I am within my rights to remove vandalism from my own talk page. --Roccobattaglia 21:50, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

You have been now warned by four different editors, including at least one admin, that you are being disruptive. So go ahead and do what you want and see if exercising your rights works for you. --ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 21:54, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Is it difficult for you to admit that you are wrong? --Roccobattaglia 21:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I am often wrong, but not IMO in this case, and note that I don't go around removing spurious warnings from my talk page. It's all in the open. Anyway, at this point you have been reported, you are being monitored, and I am no longer continuing the discussion, it's not leading anywhere usefull. --ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 21:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Note further that Roccobattaglia (talk • contribs) at this point replaced this whole talk page with obscenities and hsa received indefinitely block --ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 22:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
