Gwernol, I just (10:20 a.m. EST) reverted the following vandalism, and since you had placed a warning on Funkydunky9's user page I thought I'd bring it to your attention. [by the way, is this sort of message helpful?] 15:16, 16 December 2006 Agradman (Talk | contribs) (Undo revision 94548740 by Funkydunky9 (talk))
[edit] User:Izanbardprince
Hello again Gwernol. User Izanbardprince is once again vandalizing the "Homosexuality" article. I just thought I'd bring this to your attention. Imgi12 09:38 13 December 2006
Once again you are being very condescending to me. Please tell me how I vandalized JzG's and your user page because I honestly don't think I did. If I did, then I guess you get the satisfaction of rubbing it in my face since you like being condescending to me, and if I didn't, I would like justification. Responses like: "You are perfectly well aware of how you vandalized both my talk page and JzG's page" really don't help find a solution here. I would really appreciate if you would show me proof that I vandalized. Thank you, and try using your manners next time. Sportsguru9999 02:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Once again you are false. I looked in the history of each talk page. All I put is I love you marry me, because i really love you guys. You guys do so much and i used to admire you. I still admire JzG but not you. You are now very condescending and rude. I guess when you are really excited to be an admin you become this way. So I did not call JzG a dildo, i do not know where you got THAT from, but if saying i love you is a big problem, i dont know what isnt a problem. Sportsguru9999 02:51, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Once again, wrong. The edit summary simply says dil. Where I am from this is a slang word. It is almost like putting "sick" or "awesome" or "Whatever" or something. Don't assume things. I wouldn't call someone a dildo. I did not come close to saying that. Also, please stop being rude to me. My edits saying "i love you" are from the heart and i mean it, i HAD respect for you. If it is a huge problem for your pompous self then i am sorry. I would really like it if you spoke to me as your equal or at least like a human. Thank You Sportsguru9999 03:09, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Stop being rude to me please. Sportsguru9999 03:09, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
They did come from the heart, until you started being rude and accusing me of false vandalism. Dil is not short for dildo, i know what the word means and it means whatever where i am from. You obviously don't get out much. Secondly, i agreed with the user sticking up for himself against your rude, pompous, over-zealous behavior. I like when the little guys stick up for themsleves. His edit was bad, but u are cruel and condescending, and you deserve it. Please stop your hypocrtitical behavior before i get angry Sportsguru9999 03:33, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Salem Witch Trials
Firstly, I appologize if this is in the wrong section. Secondly, I fail to see how this statement, "the symptoms documented that many of the accusors exibited are very similar to those of female hysteria, an occurence closely related to the post-traumatic stress of rape," is unencyclopedic. Please explain.
(((If you really want to hear it and not be in denial, read this: I am a university student and have recently discovered your website regarding the Salem Witch Trials. As far as probable causes, please look into the possibility that Reverend Parris (or another prominent member of the community) had sex with the girls, causing them to be so very traumatized (see "female hysteria" of the Victorian era or "Rape Trauma Syndrome"). I know is a difficult concept to accept, which is likely why it has been ignored for so long.
Please do not hastily discount this possibility. If the convulsions and hysteria were due to a disease or some such cause, it would not adequately explain why the young girls were primarily the ones so very traumatized (rather than young boys, adult men and women, babies, or the elderly).
The Puritan society was quite reactionary. Girls were expected to be virgins (particularly at the age of 9 or 11). Virgins who are raped are known to be highly traumatized. The girls had no one to tell that they were raped in the highly conservative culture (how could they say that they had sex at age 9? that they were raped? that it was their father/uncle who did it? that it was the Reverend who did it? that it was statutory rape? that it was incest?). It is very common for rape victims, in their psychologically traumatized state, to try to protect the perpetrator, as irrational as that may seem to a non-rape victim. After Betty Parris moved to live with her relatives (and likely away from whatever was traumatizing her), her afflictions seemed to have subsided. The Reverend, from my readings, displays many key signs for potential rapists (selfishness to the point of divine-right, hostile/threatening disposition,excessive anger, obsession, et cetera). He certainly tried to convince his parishioners that there was Satan and witchcraft in their midst, trying to dissuade people from the church, him, and God. From my readings, he appears to have tried to manipulate the town into believing the traumatized reactions were a result of witchcraft. He likely told them that it would be a sin if they resisted. He beat his slave, Tituba, in order to force a confession. Sick people are rarely sick in just one aspect of their lives. Sane girls do not go crazy for no apparent reason. Something seriously traumatic must happen for an otherwise mentally healthy individual to feel hysterical.
In this era, rape victims can get the psychological help they need to get through the trauma. Healthy recovery is brought about by discussing the issue with others. If one is not able to discuss their trauma (as is very likely in the case of the Salem girls), their post traumatic stress/ rape trauma symptoms will not disappear. The girls were likely in heavy denial (as is common in rape cases) and were also likely to try to irrationally protect the perpetrator. Children can be easily manipulated. Additionally, children cannot bear children, meaning that there is less of a risk of a pregnancy scandalizing the town. If it was indeed the reverend, it is clear that he is sick, and grotesquely so. But, that doesn't mean it wasn't rape. There are many sick people, he just happened to have more power than most. Even if it was not the Reverend who raped, the girls reactions are very similar to the convulsions felt by rape survivors; it is so very likely that the girls were raped by someone in their community (if not multiple people, or the same person on multiple occasions).
If the girls ever admitted they were just playing at their hysteria, they were likely in denial. Female hysteria and Rape Trauma Syndrome are very real and very common occurrences and have been documented throughout history.
Please look into this and respond right away, as it is a very likely, and perhaps the most probable, cause for the hysteria.
Sincerely, )))) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yesmaammm (talk • contribs).

[edit] Am I a Borat vandal?
I'll stand by your judgement that my last edit to the Borat page was vandalism. However, as an article I'd suggest one discussing what his fans thought was his finest moment was of high interest to Wikipedia. I guess it's pretty subjective but I'd suggest it's of more interest than "Borat in Paris" or "naked pics of women in Borat's new book". But all in all, I think Wikipedia is great - and you're obviously a lot more experienced than me - so I like you. I am big like can of Pepsi. BoratOnline 06:30, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Keep up the great work yourself. Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 19:00, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You are a typical example of what holds wikipedia back from realizing its real potential
I am not the first to question/disagree with your reversion of edits others make, and it's obvious that I shall neither be the last. It's unfortunate you are deluded into believing yourself to be an authority on everything such that you evidently think your viewpoint must trump that of many others. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.116.214.132 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Thank you for your efforts.
I was about to make a change to some insolent fool's edit to Frederick Douglass's wiki page. The user added "HES A NI**ER" to the page under the SEE ALSO section. You would think any intelligent person (white, like me, or otherwise) would easily recognize what a great man Douglass was (black, or otherwise). Clearly this "editor" is as unintelligent as the thing he/she wrote - "'HES' a ...". How about the proper use of an apostrophe as in "He's a great man". As a new user to wikipedia (in fact I registered just so I could revert the ugly edit), I was amazed to see the edit removed before I even had a chance to. Wikipedia... amazing!

[edit] Spam notices
Hi Gwernol,
I will certainly try to be more diligent about leaving messages on user's talk pages when I revert spam. I usually do it when the user has actually created an account, but when it's an anonymous IP address, I tend to go through their recent contributions and revert the recent batch.
thanks.

[edit] I need help because an user clobbered my archive page
Help. A user was attempting to clone my archive page (see this page). However, they did a move instead of copying the source. Now my history for that page is lost and all I have there is a redirect. Can you fix this problem for me? I can revert his changes, but until the redirect page is deleted, I can't move the archive page back.
His version of the page is at User talk:Ludvikus/Archive 1. I started a relevant conversation at User talk:Ludvikus#Please be more careful when creating your own archive!!!!!!. -Will Pittenger 03:02, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PEAR
Hi. I noticed you had some interactions with this editor.
FYI, I was looking for instances of mytreo.net spam, so I was looking at Treo-related articles. I found some was added by User:The Mad Bomber. Then I noticed a similar editing pattern:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JSJ_Antivirus&action=history
- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JSJ_Software&action=history
I'm not sure either is spamming mytreo.net links, but I knew both had been problematic, so I thought I'd let you know.

[edit] Real link / spam link
Hi. I don't really understand the different between adding real link with spam link.
What is the "definition" of spam links? I see links to articles (stated by "article by first-name last-name" , however when I put a link to my article (where the content is new and USEFUL and I also put the content in here) with similar method, I'm said to be spamming. If government website or any authority website, I could understand, however, the links are just articles to ordinary websites. And, it's been there for a long time even though the page has been changed several times. What's the different with my links?
I've also found lots of links to individual(non governmental) websites, and most of them have been there for a long time although the page is changed for several times. I've also found a page that consist links to websites around 50 of them. From the "wikipedia is not", I think the page should be erased altogether, however, it's not.
From "Wikipedia is" I found that I'm encourage to put my link at resource section if the content is put on the page and it really is useful. But, when I do that, my links got deleted. Is this deletion from Admin or from my competitors? I don't understand the logic here. Could you explain it to me? Mr zhang 08:27, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IP address 130.159.248.1
Hi, I noticed that you recently banned this IP address due to vandalism. I thought I should point out that this IP address is for the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow and is used by around 30,000 students (including myself). It's inevitable when so many people have access to the internet from the same IP address that there will be the odd user guilty of vandalism but I feel it's a little counter-productive to ban the IP address when it's used by tens of thousands of people. I wouldn't dispute that the person who was guilty of vandalism deserved to be banned, but I just thought I should point out for future reference that this isn't a single user and in my opinion, the address should only be banned under extreme circumstances.

[edit] Kwanzaa
Gwernol, you obviously know more about how to operate the Wikipedia system than 99% of it's users, and I am sure you use that knowledge responsibly. So perhaps you can provide me with specific guidance on what I should have done to ensure readers looking up Kwanzaa get to learn about the Marxist themes of some of the 7 principles quoted in it. I read the listing for Kwanzaa carefully and found no reference to the Marxism, socialism or communism, call it what you will, embedded into the the following principles, taken from the reference I quoted:
Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility) To build and maintain our community together and make our brother's and sister's problems our problems and to solve them together
Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) To build and maintain our own stores, shops and other businesses and to profit from them together.
Nia (Purpose) To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.
To balance any description of Kwanzaa, readers need to be reminded of where these themes lead, and the left-leaning political sympathies of its founder, Karenga. Readers can then draw their own conclusion about the implications. My remarks about the leftward leaning of Kwanzaa's principles and its founder are neither in dispute nor well described in the Wikipedia entry. But it is a germane fact. Please teach me to make this specific edit in a way you find acceptable, leaving both our political views to one side.
UPDATE:
OK, I had another go, moving the edits down to "Controversy", where they belong. I included Tony Snow's famous statement about Kwanzaa, and cited an article representative of the conservative movement's reservations about Kwanzaa. In both cases, I used no "weasle words" (as you called them) and did no "original research" simply sticking to dry descriptions of the articles. I'm no "vandal" just a newcomer wanting to ensure this topic has all the facts a student of the topic would need to understand the issue.

[edit] 350Z discussion
Hi,
Again I am told that my addition to the 350Z page is not allowed.
Do admins actually take the time to read the addition or research it?
The page I linked to is a 350Z forum in the UK. This site does not charge users for access, it is 100% totally free and dedicated to providing information and help to thousands of people interested in the 350Z. We do not charge money, nor do we ask for any. Indeed it costs me well in excess of £100 ($200) per year to provide this site to people for free.
It contains answers to hundreds of questions asked by owners and potential owners. It has been promoted twice by two leading UK car magazines as a resource for owners to read.
Can you please explain why this is considered advertising?
You seem quite happy to link to sites of the manufacturers - ansd last time I looked, Nissan made several hundred million dollars profit. So why is a free resource site considered advertising?
Just to add - there are links on the 350z page to companies such as Autocar and Evo. Both of these companies make money, so why are their links allowed? This is also advertising is it not? Indeed the article linked to on EVO is the very same one that was published in the printed magazine, the one tht informs readers of our site!
As you find it acceptable to link to companies making millions of dollars in profit, just as long as they have a review of the car, then will it be OK if I link to every single one of the hundreds of reviews on 350z-uk.com? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.50.178.217 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Quick question
I've been trying to get the article List of King George V Playing Fields (Greater London) out of Category:London for a while tonight, but it seems to be embedded in a template or hidden in some way. Any chance you can remove this particular category listing? Thanks, RHB 22:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Block
I never pretended to be a admin, well not on purpose anyways, i thought it was the appropriate tag to put on his page and it was obvious vandalism, a big mess really and 100% of people would consider it clear and serious vandalism on the spot, so he had one edit, well any vandal that gets blocked makes a new name or uses a new IP so of course theyll have one edit, i think its wrong to assume with one edit someone should be blocked i was just trying to help.
[edit] Chi Psi
All i did was click on every famour brother listed on the fraternity's article and quickyl added the category to it without reading, i assumed all the links were in order, apperantly not, sorry, but itll probably have fixed itslef by now, ill make sure to be mroe careful when adding categories en masse in the future.Qrc2006 01:39, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Gwernol, I notice you blocked the above user for incivil / attacking edit summaries on 11 Dec. I've just been on the receiving end of another of the users tirades, I've warned him to be very careful in future, although had this latest display been directed towards another user I would have impassionately blocked on the spot. If you want to review this one and take action that's fine by me. Cheers, Deizio talk 16:47, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gartner
Since you previously deprodded it, I thought you'd like to know that Gartner is at AfD. NickelShoe (Talk) 04:41, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
- Was about to deprod it now myself, so I added a respectable amount of descriptive material and 3 or 4 unimpeachable refs. If you've got any more, please help by adding them. (What's with this vendetta against them?)DGG 05:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
