[edit] Your VandalProof Application

Dear Brat32,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.2 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that that you don't have enough mainspace edits. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. —Xyrael / 17:36, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Obese people

There is a definition of obesity. You removed Jerrold Nadler from that list. Have you ever seen this guy other than that head-shot on his page? He's HUGE! He must be the heaviest guy in the Congress. Some examples: http://www.ou.org/events/5762/ots62/nadler.jpg / http://www.columbia.edu/cu/news/02/04/images/jerroldNadler.jpg --Kalmia 06:03, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] from anon IP address

I added many links to the Toronto wikipedia page, links that are tourism related, yet you only chose to delete a few, not all (even some which are more commercial than others). It is bias. You obviously have a preference or allegiance with some sites but not others. If you do so again without any legitimate reason, I will have Wikipedia remove you.

Toronto.com is the MOST commercial site out there, and yet you did not remove that. There are also other websites. Idiot.

(The above message is from User_talk:141.117.2.238) I would suggest if you want to get me removed the first thing is to get your own account. And please stop trailing around behind me removing my edits in various categories.

[edit] Michael Moore

I hope your comments on the Michael Moore talk pages weren't addressed to me. My response was a simple 'No' to his unsigned question, as I'd reverted his vandalism already a couple of times earlier on. rgds Khukri (talk . contribs) 22:22, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I did realize that you made the fix of the vadalism, and then I thought you had posted in the talk page as a humorous response, and was replying in kind. I just looked at it and realized you had simply replied 'No' to the original poster. Sorry (I adjusted the reply slightly).

[edit] Open Directory Project

Please refrain from removing content from Wikipedia, as you did to Open Directory Project. It is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Brat32 14:40, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I've replied on the talk page to the article. -- Zanimum 16:10, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comments

What is wrong with the Article Islamic Sheep? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sheepman (talk • contribs).

How about the fact that it is ignorant hateful garbage of no encyclopaedic value whatsoever? There are plenty of sites on the internet that would welcome that sort of vulgar tripe, so please refrain from polluting Wikipedia with it. ---Charles 04:15, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sheepman

Did you attempt to add a sockpuppet tag to the userpage for Sheepman? Well, something apparently went wrong, because it is nearly indecipherable, and does not form a recognizable textbox. Furthermore, there is text on the page that is only visible when one opens the edit page box. I do not know how to fix this, but it really should be repaired. Thanks. ---Charles 03:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but it's probably easiest if I just remove it, but I don't know the proper way. Do I just remove all the stuff I added to the Sockpuppet page and the user pages? Sheepman and Sheepman2 were posting the same stuff within a day of two, but the articles got deleted. --Brat32 03:56, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
I am really not the one to ask, sorry. I have never placed such a tag, and know next to nothing about them. Check with an administrator. Sorry. ---Charles 04:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spam in Toronto

It is only spam when you GAIN PROFIT from advertising. I am a proud Torontonian, and as such, I take a special interest in promoting the city (through my website) to the world and potential visitors. I challenge you to find another site that features more useful information with less advertising than my site. I do not gain money from my site, despite a minor ad or two, which are much less intrusive than many other sites you have added yourself. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.56.115.178 (talk • contribs).

No, it is not only spam when you advertise. It is spam when you keep adding your own site to numerous articles, it is very disruptive. Please read Wikipedia:Spam and especially Wikipedia:External links#Links normally to be avoided
3. A website that you own or maintain, even if the guidelines above imply that it should be linked to. This is because of neutrality and point-of-view concerns; neutrality is an important objective at Wikipedia, and a difficult one. If it is relevant and informative, mention it on the talk page and let other — neutral — Wikipedia editors decide whether to add the link.
And please explain what intrusive external links I added to Toronto sites--Brat32 00:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

And how is it intrusive? I mainly added links to more information I believe visitors would find useful. Okay, I may be promoting the city too much to not say the "negative" side of things in the city, but most of it, including the profiles and descriptions of attractions and what have you, are all neutral. I'm sorry, you didn't add links. What I meant was that many others have added far more commericial links (to Toronto and others) and you didn't delete them. *I* had to do that. Fodor's and Frommer's, while good sites, are aimed at increasing sales for their travel guides. TorontoInfoCenter.com is nothing but a list of spam. And yet you didn't do anything about those sites. You obviously have a bias about the city and quality information.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.56.115.178 (talk • contribs).

(Please learn how to sign your posts so I don't have to sign them for you) My bias in your case, was that you spammed with multiple external links in multiple articles. As far as the other external links that I did not remove, I leave it to others with more experience to decide whether they should stay. --Brat32 00:41, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
The problem is that I don't see you promoting the city, I see you promoting your site. What you have is not a hobby sites, but a full-fledged commercial site. You comment above It is only spam when you GAIN PROFIT from advertising. is somewhat disingenuous, you in fact run Adsense and banner ads on the site, from which you get revenues. --Brat32 01:05, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't know how to add my signature. Anyway, you would be much more credible if your previous actions show it. Again, there were many links in Toronto which were much more commercial and you did nothing to them (see examples I mentioned). I never said there wasn't advertising on my site. However, ads on my links are very minimal if you compare it to most sites including Toronto travel sites. And besides, my site has a lot more information compared to many other travel sites, for Toronto or other cities. In fact, I was contacted by an official at TorontoTourism.com regarding further promotion of my site because of the value it contains. What you clearly have is a bias against my site. You say you have a bias against spam in general, but that is not the case. You probably have a bias against this city too. Where do you live? Probably elsewhere in Canada where people are so jealous of us. Anyway, I'm not even going to reply to any more of your comments, because it is just futile. Go edit other Wikipages if you feel the need. But don't harm a good page about Toronto, and the good links. I have done much to better the links section of Toronto. You've only served to destroy that.

Please stop accusing me of bias, it's nonsense. Go plead your case on the Toronto talk page - I've started a thread for you here Talk:Toronto#External_links_-_goodoldtoronto.com --Brat32 02:40, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WD-40

Have you tried using wd-40 to ease anal sex? Then don't do it, because it stings and I got a nasty infection. Please revert your revertion. 201.23.64.2 19:35, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Please ensure to provide documented citations when you add information. Personal research is not considered a good source of information, see Wikipedia:No original research --Brat32 19:58, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I mis-read your contribution page. WVhybrid 00:58, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

No problem, but maybe you were right, and I need to be carefull. It seems a fine line between clear vandalism, and being pushy about adding external links. --Brat32 01:23, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent prods

You can use {{db-nocontent}} for pages with no content and {{db-nocontext}} for pages with no context. This gets them deleted a lot faster than prod. Also, you don't need to add your signature when adding these tags. Signatures should never appear in articles. Morgan Wick 02:01, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I like that better. I went back and fixed a couple. --Brat32 02:23, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to VandalProof!

Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Brat32! You have now been added to the list of authorized users, so if you haven't already, simply download and install VandalProof from our main page. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any other moderator, or you can post a message on the discussion page. mboverload@ 23:08, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] thank you

thanks for the reversions on various Malaysian state pages. Was about to report the spam to an admin. __earth (Talk) 06:22, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

You are welcome and thanks for noticing. After I had reverted his first page of spam, I was afraid that when I hit previous 500, I would see more. He seems to have stopped for now. --Brat32 06:30, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Viewpoints

While, indeed, having a different viewpoint is fine, repetitiously vandalizing a page and refuting fact, saying Wikipedia policy does not matter, is not.

I still don't understand why User:75.3.11.87 was not banned for what he was doing to you. --Brat32 16:23, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Volpe

Thanks. I've written an even longer page on another politician from the same region, although I'm not sure if he represents your part of the riding or not.

More generally, I've been working on "page expansions" like this for almost a year. CJCurrie 05:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I like controversial guys like Howard, I don't always agree with him, but I like his style. At one time, he told me I should be in politics, which is weird since I have no interest. --Brat32 06:01, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AWB

I noticed the edit summary of your application for AWB, and I thought I'd just confirm that you do indeed have over 500 Mainspace edits. One way to measure this is look at the User contributions special page, and set it to display 500 edits on one page, then see if the "Older 500" link is active. --David Mestel(Talk) 08:39, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I did end up doing something like that, but it includes all edits, not just main space. I guess I was very busy the last couple of weeks. --Brat32 16:23, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Smith Plat

In a quick Google search, I find the Smith Plat does exist in/near Providence, Rhode Island.

See "Still cozy after all these years", Providence Journal, May 31, 2005..

The place does exist, though notability is questionable; thus, the {{prod}} tag. — ERcheck (talk) 17:09, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NOT Multiple Accounts

The reason that some accounts have links to my page mentioning "Wikistudent" or "Wikitutorer/Wikiteacher" is because I am teaching some new wikipedians some of the basics. Also, the reason multiple accounts share this IP address is because this is a public YMCA computer. BrainiacOutcast 22:12, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

By the way, please do not add sockpuppet tags to User:Inmate20, User:Amrykid, or User:Macdog36 as they will probably blame me.-Because they are real people. BrainiacOutcast 22:17, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

If deemed appropriate they will be added --Brat32 23:05, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Homeontherange

Ditto. Homeontherange was junked several weeks ago (and was never banned). 69.158.191.248 22:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Homeontherange is my former user page so stop mucking around on it. 69.158.191.248 22:59, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Can you please revert my user and user talk page to the state I wish them to be in? 69.158.191.248 23:02, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Another editor has blocked you from vandalizing the page --Brat32 23:05, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please take a look

Hi Brat32. I noticed you removed a link in the Alice Miller article. Please take a look at what I have just posted in Talk:Alice Miller (psychologist) here [1]. Thanks! —Cesar Tort 00:29, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I'll defer to your decision. The person posting the link posted it to a number of different articles, which I generally consider spam. --Brat32 03:25, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

I apologize if my addition came off as incorrect or irreverent in any way. I guess it was a bad idea to edit that page for my first contribution. But I did not create it, and was as clinical as possible when editing it. The only reason I did so, was because there are numerous articles on other profanities and I was talking with a friend about that article. I can give references to back up the information as not being nonsense. LocknKey

Well, no one has blocked you yet, so you get to keep on editing. --Brat32 05:32, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


Actually the article has been deleted. And why should I be blocked? Did I do ANYTHING wrong? At all? I was simply filling in an article that didn't have any information. And I thought that's what this place is all about, no? --LocknKey

Yes, you did something wrong, that's why I tagged you, and if you created an inappropriate article, then someone else deleted it. So you had at least two people looking at it. If I recall, it was a nonsense pornographic/scatalogical article. --Brat32 06:47, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hoax is not a speedy criterion

  • Krebs Syndrome

Hello. Possible hoaxes are not a speedy deletion candidate because it's sometimes hard to prove a negative. I changed this to prod, but actually AfD is best to get the most eyeballs on it. Keep up the good work. - brenneman {L} 16:37, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure why it's considered a hoas and not pure nonsense. You might want to fix what you did with the page, it now looks very weird --Brat32 16:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Odd... I had already fixed my mistake, but the author unfixed it. And in general if something is strung together in english-like sentances we try to give the largest possible benefit of the doubt to the contributor. WP:NONSENSE gives the full explanation.
brenneman {L} 16:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the info --Brat32 18:04, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Food Allergies

Glad to see someone else working on the food allergies page! I'm trying to get the folks on the food allergy website (kidswithfoodallergies) to all pitch in, but haven't succeeded in getting them over here yet.

If only I had more time, I need to add some citations from some books I'm going through --Brat32 18:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Patrolling articles

Hi. Looking for advice. How would you tag this article -- Battle of reach. It clearly needs help. I'm trying to learn the best tags to use. Thanks. CPAScott 01:53, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

While I'm at it, how do you handle when tags are removed? Example, you tagged Curtis Schmidt for SPD (appropriately) -- the tag was removed. (I put it back). Again, looking to learn how to be a better patroller. Thanks in advance for your reponse. CPAScott 01:55, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm not the best person to ask, I just got obsessed with editing in the last week of two, and am still learning. Technically I think it was ok for someone to remove that tag, as he was not the original author, and I could not put it back, but it was ok for you to (and it deserved to be put back) --Brat32 02:06, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:AIV

Remember to include "LIST EMPTY" or "LIST NOT EMPTY" or something similar in your edit summaries when editing WP:AIV. Also, please try to warn users with the user warning templates, such as {{test3}}, before reporting them. Isopropyl 05:23, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks I will add that. However, I'm not sure how to warn someone who keeps posting nonsense articles that are tagged for speedy delete. --Brat32 05:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Try {{nonsensepages}}. Isopropyl 05:31, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Nice -- that will do it thanks --Brat32 05:33, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Benier koranache

db-repost only applies to AFD deletions, not CSD or prod. Tyrenius 07:44, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Why is it so complicated <G> <G> thanks. I tagged it earlier today and it had already been deleted, and also was deleted a few months ago. Also I checked and the article looks like a mishmash of maybe facts about different things all put together. --Brat32 07:51, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] db-advert

You should be aware that Template:Db-advert has been disabled, since in fact there is no speedy criterion for advertising. The result is that articles with this tag are not in the speedy deletion category and will not be reviewed by any admins. May i suggest that, for any articles you tagged with this, you consider Prod? Fan-1967 02:28, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't aware that I've used that. What I've been doing is db-reason with a comment like "article is an ad" and all of those seem to have been deleted. So I'm confused --Brat32 02:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
This one was the first I found when looking for articles using the template. Maybe you just used it the once. Fan-1967 02:46, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeah it just popped up in my watchlist and I saw I did. Oops. Probably from logging in to Wiki and staying up to late. I know I mix up db-context and db-content. I find this disturbingly addictive, I'm not getting enough sleep. I'm supposed to be debugging a clients computer program right now, but I keep on sneaking a look at Recent Changes. --Brat32 03:05, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jennifer Coolidge

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Jennifer Coolidge. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. --Brat32 03:28, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't know what you mean. This is a factual statement. Coolidge is a celebrity and her writing partner and romantic interest is of relative importance. It is under the the topic of trivia and it is true. What in your opinion is the problem? 4comfort 11:48, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, it took me a while to figure out what was going on here, since the page shows I never edited it. I think I might have been reverting the previous edit by [68.209.106.93] at the same time you werr adding to it, but your changes got in and mine did not, then I was issuing a warning to [68.209.106.93] and it got to you instead. I though that the language inserted on the site (not by you) was disparaging and should be removed (and someone else did that after your edit). I will remove the warning from you. --Brat32 17:11, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marlene

Just to let you know, I removed the nonsense tag from this article. The article is not nonsense, it is about a character in Final Fantasy 7. I don't think she is worth an article and a merging with Final Fantasy 7 is in order. Wildthing61476 04:33, 13 August 2006 (UTC)]

Thanks I figured that out when I went to look at his other edits. --Brat32 04:37, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the heads up ... Sorry, still learning.

Sorry for assuming that easy access to government documents would make it easier to maintain her posting and mention.

As an enthisiast for cross cultural sharing and healing, I openly admit to having several interests in keeping Dr. Martha Cohen's efforts recognized, not the least of which is to acknowledge the continuing need for more social psychologists to become activists in making change as she has for most of her life, creating healing in the aboriginal community as well a creating productive and positive community bonds that have perpetuated. Another interst I must admit I have as an internationally active lecturer in many countries each year, is that while Dr. Cohen is particularly an icon of that work she has done most of her work and still lives in my home city of Calgary, Canada.

I respect the standards you have set and try and enforce at Wikipedia and there are areas I'd like to help in any way and be involved, particularly in areas of human response, communication psychology, design psychology, social strategies and change -- the scienctific realms I correlate for my classes.

In the meantiem I will try and learn and if you have any suggestions on how I can help with the Martha Cohen insertion, please pass them on.

[edit] User J3wishVulcan's Vandalism

I noticed you had warned User:J3wishVulcan about his offensive remarks. Problem is, he appears to be very racist and religionist (a term I use for people biased and prejudiced against the religion of others) - as evidenced by this edit. I'd keep an eye on him just to be sure - he seems quite unstable to me. I just warned him about his latest edit, and hopefully (big emphasis on hopefully) he will change. –- kungming·2 | (Talk·Contact) 19:57, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Weird - maybe someone to avoid --Brat32 20:39, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion for Pornotube

Also, I have warned the user who continually deletes the deletion notice for Pornotube. I'd keep an eye on him as well. –- kungming·2 | (Talk·Contact) 18:42, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Benier Koranache

Hey, thanks for the supportive comment on Talk:Benier_Koranache. I'd love an opinion --- do you think I've been handling it OK? Thanks, --Grahamtalk/mail/E 02:41, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm staying "neutral" The article was speedy deleted at least once in the past, and I speedy deleted it twice in the last week. However someone chose to override my second Speedy request. Stay calm, the guy is so full of his marketroid spam, he is out of touch with reality. --Brat32 03:01, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
I will, and thanks. Regardless of how you stand on the deletion, I sure appreciate your support of my approach. --Grahamtalk/mail/E 05:41, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] David Firth

In reference to a message left on User_talk:71.198.129.77, the only edit made to David Firth was a correction of "rap dual" to "rap duel", and it has not been reverted. Perhaps you were thinking of a different person. Feel free to stop by Help:Contents/Tracking_changes if you wish to learn more about page history. --71.198.129.77 04:42, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm very sorry, I've traced through my log and it makes no sense why I posted that. I never reverted any changes on that article page, and I can't see how I would even have got to your talk page. I thought someone was forging my sig, but your page log shows I was the one posting the warning. --Brat32 14:14, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adding a company

Thanks for the notice. I actually was just trying to add my company to the company list on this page. There are many others added to this as well. I did not intend to spam, as many other of my competitors have their sites listed on this page too. Can you tell me how to add a company page or request a consideration? I also have not figured out how to delete a page, hence the other page problem. Thanks. Ericaolsen

Sorry, but I'm not the best person to ask. I generally just remove what I consider spam links, and tag articles that are short on content. Someone else does the article deletion. I think I tagged one of your articles and removed some links, other people did the rest. Wikpipedia is not going to be like a Yellow pages, where every company gets a listing. e.g. none of my companies will be listed here. So a company has to be notable in some way to justify getting a listing. Some things you might read are Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Spam and Wikipedia:Notability (companies and corporations) --Brat32 05:54, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Strategic planning software

I noticed that the Strategic planning software article is off to a rough start and have some comments I am posting simultaneously to Ericaolsen (talk • contribs) and Brat32 (talk • contribs). I suggest that the article is salvageable.

The problem started when Brat32 identified some self-interest edits made to promote a company. In my opinion, Brat32's vigilance is appropriate and helpful to Wikipedia. I do the same type of thing almost everyday, much to the displeasure of a long list of corporate users. Brat32 is to be commended for this diligence.

Brat32 placed a speedy delete tag on the strategic planning software article, which normally an administrator would review and then decide if it should be deleted (or not). However, before an administrator could act, the article was blanked by Ericaolsen. This is not quite proper protocol, because the speedy delete tag was deleted, which should not be done, especially by the creator of the article.

However, reviewing the article, I don't see a problem with writing generically about that type of software, even by someone who is involved in the business, so long as their own company is not promoted. They know a lot about the topic and should be able to write about it generically in a well-informed manner. Any biases that creep in will be corrected by other knowledgeable editors.

I reworked the article, removing some of the obvious references to specific software. I don't know anything about the topic, so it will need more clean up.

So, I suggest allowing the article to grow and even invite Ericaolsen to expand it, hopefully providing citations from third-party sources. If any of the phrases are directly from your own software documenation, they need to be come out and be rewritten or someone will soon tag the article as a copyright violation. JonHarder 14:11, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I have no problem with that, thanks for the intervention. --Brat32 21:44, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] let people finsh an edit

you should really let people finsh an edit before trying to delete them Nez202 21:34, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but could I suggest making it more obvious it's not just another one line junk article before the initial save. If I'm doing new article patrolling, it's very hard to keep a list of what might be no good, and go back later to see if something has been added. --Brat32 21:45, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

that ok but i had just started and had to check info. Nez202 22:40, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I have coordinated with the permissions folks at Wikipedia to be able to post material from my web site (www.destinationdoowop.com) to the Tico and the Triumphs page.

Same goes for Rosie and the Originals. I spent the past three weeks getting a "permission" from the appropriate folks at Wikipedia to post my material. I can supply the email to you if necessary.

Please remember that WP:AIV is for reporting obvious vandalism only. You might want to take your dispute with Darrener to WP:AN if problems persist. Thanks! Isopropyl 23:37, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Point taken. The original AIV was for repeated vandalism using a user name and an IP address. I added the other attack complaint a few minutes later, which probably confused the issue. --Brat32 23:43, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Obvious vandalism is stuff like page blanking and random insertions of "jared suxxxx", etc. Anything more complex, including content disputes, should be taken elsewhere. If another user is making personal attacks, the best place to take the complain is WP:AN/I. Good luck! Isopropyl 23:46, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sharon Weinberger

Not a problem - since someone replaced the prod again, I've taken the liberty of creating a discussion at AFD. Please feel free to add your analysis there. The link is Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Sharon_Weinberger. I've not had a chance to review the article content, so I simply place a neutral recommendation. I'll take a look at it later tonight after some research. Kuru talk 01:07, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] huh?

I'm afraid I don't understand, what are you trying to say? 132.205.93.88 03:06, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Tagging a food article to be added to the WikiDictionary when it is being proposed for deletion is not helpful. You seem to be doing a lot of similar confusing changes that are not helpful. For example you just tagged an article for speedy delete, without a reson, when it was already tagged with a prod that was of more use to all. --Brat32 03:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Also you have been removing warnings from your talk pages. --Brat32 03:30, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I made legitimate comment about fixing an error on the CfD page, and made it to the bot administrator before removing the comment. I don't see how that's inappropriate. As for the Sardar Mahtab Ahmed Khan, the reverter agreed with me and REIMPLEMENTED my version of the page, so I hardly see why I can't remove that message either. 132.205.93.88 04:00, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
See this [2] which contains the difference. The error in the page is the missing "NEW NOMINATIONS" header. This is clearly an error in the page. I made comment to the bot administrator about the erroroneous message the bot sent. It was ofourse removed when the page became no longer the current one. But it stayed in place while the page was current.
See this: [3] The reverter who mentioned sandbox and experimentation UNREVERTED the change, because the change was proper and appropriate.
Now why can't I remove those messages? They have been fixed, and the various bot admins, or reverters were informed of my reasoning.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Removing_warnings#Vandalism --Brat32 04:16, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Why didn't you mention that in the first place? You give me a second warning without pointing to a policy page at all! 132.205.93.88 04:18, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Brat32, if I may humbly interject, please be a bit more judicious in giving out warnings. The IP user obviously made a good-faith edit, and if an edit is deemed unhelpful but is in good-faith, it is not vandalism. I would advise you to read up on Wikipedia's policy about dealing with newcomers and remove the warnings you left as a good-faith effort to resolve the situation. Thanks and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me hoopydinkConas tá tú? 04:48, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I did what you said but it sucks. I'm leaving. --Brat32 04:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Brat32: We need to Assume good faith. I've removed my warning from the users talk page.--1568 05:00, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry it had to turn out like this :( I hope you will keep contributing to Wikipedia--1568 05:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: 132.205.93.88

Hi there! I did take a look at the user's contributions before making a comment, and I believe that he's been a valuable contributor and the adding of the Wiktionary tag seems appropriate, for it allows for a discussion to take place. as to whether or not it should be moved. There is absolutely no harm being done, and while the user was wrong in removing the warning, I don't feel that the warning was justified in the first place. It's ultimately up to you, but from an outside perspective, I don't think the user has done anything wrong. hoopydinkConas tá tú? 05:02, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi again! I hope that you don't leave Wikipedia over such a small incident as this. Neither me nor 1568 had any ill will towards you or intended to somehow chastise you. We simply wanted to give you some advice and an outside perspective of the incident, as it was brought to our attention via WP:AN. This is not a big deal and I hope that you'll return to editing, as you seem to be very-well intentioned and a good editor. hoopydinkConas tá tú? 05:23, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Please come back Brat32! I miss you already, and it's only been a few hours! There's no need for you to leave Wikipedia over such a small thing. Perhaps just take a break, maybe a day or two, maybe a week or two, but please come back! —Mets501 (talk) 12:13, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] So sorry you're leaving! :(

Chocolate always makes me feel better, how about you?

Brat32, I've looked over the dispute and I think I may know how you feel to an extent. As a matter of fact, it was hoopydink who corrected me, too, on a somewhat similar basis. (See my talk page archive.) I do hope you come back; your contributions are very valuable to the project. If you ever need anything, please feel free to drop a note on my talk page or e-mail me. Again, I hope that in a few days you feel better; taking a break always helps me. Wikipedia could use your helpful edits!! Srose (talk) 21:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Big Fish Entertainment

  • Just a friendly reminder to use an edit summary when proposing deletion for an article. Edit summary usage is always good, but it is especially important that edit summaries are used when proposing deletion. The reason for this is that articles proposed for deletion that later have the {{prod}} tag removed should not be proposed for deletion again, but rather sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. The only easy way to check if an article was previously proposed for deletion is to look at the edit history and the edit summaries people have left before. Thanks!
  • I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Big Fish Entertainment, which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial. Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, it is best not to propose deletion of articles that have previously been de-{{prod}}ed, even by the article creator, or which have previously been listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you still feel the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article, but feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!
