Talk:Reverse mortgage fyi

I thought this edit might interest you. I posted a warning to User talk:152.163.100.8, for all the good it'll do. I hate AOL. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 03:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


Warning

Incase you are unaware you do not own wikipedia, nor are you an admin. It is not up to your judgement to threaten, or abuse wikipedia terms. Links can be discussed and weighed by admins and you do NOT have the sole ability to regulate any link on wikipedia.--Edited By a Professor of Life 03:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Reverts by anons

I've posted a bit about the subject on my talkpage, User:EinsteinEdits's talkpage, and have protected a number of pages from whoever this mysterious AOL vandal must be. Has me stumped, that, really. :D

Anyway, in seriousness, if it keeps up, let me know so I can apply blocks and protects where they need to be applied. I'm a bit appalled that someone would stoop to childish vandalism, attacking Wikipedia to try to "get even" with you. I think I can honestly say that I hope whoever it is stumbles across this message to you and understands that I wish them to either stop and contribute positively to building an encyclopedia, or failing that, go find another hobby. :P

Good luck. ~Kylu (u|t) 19:33, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

  • apreciate that, thanks ;). looks like the childish vandalism saga continues...more from today [1], [2], [3] and [4] Hu12 20:02, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the links. ~Kylu (u|t) 20:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Unrelated, but... blacklist diff the "typepad" site is now blacklisted, so you shouldn't have to remove that particular bit of spam anymore. ~Kylu (u|t) 05:54, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Response - Tickle Me Elmo

Think he's back (with a username).. curious choice and way of editing. ..[5]Hu12 21:58, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Can't tell, yet... possible, but I did a whois on the site added and I couldn't find a connection to the other vandal... just someone else who wants to put their spam crap on Wikipedia, probably. -- SonicAD (talk) 22:32, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Removing A Fansite

What just happened? I went to remove the Fansite added to the Aly & AJ page, and it saved when I pressed "save page." Then I go into the page's history and found out that you had removed it instead. Why was I not alerted of an edit conflict? Acalamari 17:24, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Has to be an edit conflict or We both submitted at the same time, I've seen the same thing happen with some of my previous edits as well. Hu12 17:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Fair enough; no harm was done. Acalamari 17:45, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to wikipedia:chemical sources

Hi, I saw you changed the cleanup template on wikipedia:chemical sources into a cleanup-spam-template. I will try and explain why this is not true. The page has a clear meaning, we are busy to set up this page and this system (see also [[6]] for a working copy. I am regularly trying to bug developers to instate this page. It has as a purpose to prevent spam on pages about chemicals. In it's function, it is exactly the same as wikipedia:book sources (which also contains a lot of external links). The links are not added in a mass way, and it is a complete overview of (I hope almost) all links available. So it is not spam. I hope this makes it a bit clearer, but if you have further questions, don't hesitate to contact me. --Dirk Beetstra 18:56, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I see you've deticated quite a bit of time and effort into the article, i commend you for that. Reason for the tag was two fold and policy based. Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files and Wikipedia is not a directory. Much like the advet and spammmy links on the wikipedia:book sources, wikipedia:chemical sources may face issues in the future fom other editors. but most certainly will attract spammers like a magnet. I'll honor the tags removal, keep up the hard work.Hu12 21:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I appreciate the information. I know that wikipedia is not a repository, but wikipedia:book sources and wikipedia:chemical sources are not repository lists, the former is used by a built-in search engine, and I hope to get the second up to the same level. I do see that they may be sensitive to spam-links, but one page is more easy to control than the 3500 chemical pages that I have on my watchlist, and which, on a regular basis, get 'attacked' by editors who think that their company should be mentioned in the external links sections. It may be that these pages are going to meet some interaction from other administrators, but I think the discussion should then be whether or not Wikipedia should have these (hardcoded) features.
In that respect, I invite you to have a look at the 'common drugs' pages, like sildenafil, paracetamol, but also on pages like audi, mercedes. These pages must also attract spammers like a magnet. --Dirk Beetstra T C 21:15, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I'll add those to my watchlist, thanks. Hu12 21:22, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Spamstar

The Spamstar of Glory
Presented to Hu12 for ferocity in fighting spam on Wikipedia

--A. B. 04:31, 1 December 2006 (UTC)--A. B. 18:01, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks A. B.! Guess we should give something back to the spammers also, being that we take so much away from them... here it goes...Spicy Spam Kabobs - Serve with hot cooked rice. It may not be much, but hey, at least its something. Hu12 15:06, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I second that. I was just about to make a decision in the article Shipping when you deleted the linkfarm. One of my new projects will be to remove linkspam as best I can. I submitted my first AfD last week and the result was Delete, so I'm encouraged that we can improve the quality of Wikipedia sometimes by reducing its quantity. MKoltnow 03:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the post. Congrats on the AfD, keeping the bad out. I've seen those "lists" on other articles as well, they never seem to be helpful except to the marketeers. Policy reads, Wikipedia is not a repository for lists, directories or Advocacy of commercial products and/or websites. NPOV requires views to be represented without bias, this applies not only to article text, but to companies, company lists, products, external links, or any other material as well. If you interested in fighting spam take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam, we could use another set of gloves in the fight.. Hu12 04:30, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to add my thanks for your efforts in removing spam from Wikipedia, in this case one of the automotive pages I've been working on. I was going to investigate the link site myself... the fact they called the link Giuelietta Official Specifications (wrong spelling of Giulietta), should have given the game away, but I see you've already removed it. Thanks again. --Xagent86 08:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Your very welcome. Interestingly enough, that spam campaign was spread over 74 different automotive articles, major abuse of Wikipedia. Hu12 08:46, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: deletion of ANZIIF

Hu12 - I dispute your decision to delete the page "ANZIIF". There is a similar page titled "FINSIA" who are an organisation much the same as us. As their page is fine, I copied EXACTLY their page and changed it where appropriate to ANZIIF. You then deleted our page but not theirs. Why?

I also dispute that ANZIIF are a "non-notable group". ANZIIF has a 120+ year history as a professional organisation and has over 12,000 members in over 80 countries.

Please explain why you keep deleting ANZIIF but not FINSIA. Jclapham 06:22, 2 December 2006 (UTC):

Jclapham, Hu12's actions regarding pages other than your own are mostly irrelevant. There could be a lot of reasons why your page is affected but not others. Please don't assume Hu12 is being unfair to you solely on the basis of his taking no action with regard to another page similar to yours. Now I have not seen your page, but two wrongs don't make a right. So my suggestion is to find more substantive reasons to argue on behalf of your page. I could try to help but I haven't read your page and I'm not likely to get further involved other than this message to try to help you. Just don't take things personally, read the wiki policies applicable, argue how you think they apply, and try to get others to support your position. Based on your description of your organization here, it sounds like it could be encyclopedic, so just walk within wiki policy and you should be okay. Good luck.--LegitimateAndEvenCompelling 06:48, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate the pointer. I presumed that consistency would be applied to an encuclopaedic resource as a matter of course, though the entity of the wiki beast could make this more difficult. Thanks again for the pointer, I'll arm myself with a policy brief and put my case in stronger terms and with documented support. Cheers. Jclapham 09:28, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Look, being a new contributor to Wiki, I recreated the article (with different content each time) thinking a 'bot' had deleted it. I was unaware of all the policies and procedure and will endeavour to familiarise myself with them before getting an ANZIIF page back up and one that meets guidelines.

That being said, my point still stands. Ii find it both humourous and frustrating that two articles can be almost identical in format yet one is deleted for breaching guidelines while another is not - it amuses me that an encyclopaedic resource can be so inconsistent.

Nevertheless, I will read all of your policies and I will write a page that is reference only. I would presume that you will again assist me in highlighting where I err.

Cheers. Jclapham 10:54, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Jclapham, really try to relax and enjoy Wikipedia. You said "it amuses me that an encyclopaedic resource can be so inconsistent." As you work here you will understand that this is not some huge web site with one consistent overseer, overseeing that everything is internally consistent. Rather its hundreds of thousands of people working together in bits and pieces. Hence things can be appear exactly as you describe. In fact, they are as you described! But that's Wikipedia. So don't let it bother and try to work within the system. Pretty soon you be giving others similar advice like you getting here. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling 16:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, LAEC - great advice and much appreciated. Thanks for the guidance and support - you're a gem. Jclapham 08:01, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Posting a link

Respected Sir, First of all,I am new to the Wikipedia community,so kindly forgive me if I am unaware of exactly what I am doing. I have been a user of Wikipedia for a long time,so I decided to help them if they need it.I joined,however,you posted that i had put on a few links on "Mumbai" and "Guwahati".Funniest part is-I haven't made any changes.My account might have been hacked into(I am unsure,if such instances have happened before,please let me know).I know little about cities,I joined only to authenticate any computer games related articles. I hope that you can convey this to higher authorities.Also,the inconvenience is regretted. Kuldip —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Krori (talk • contribs) 14:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

Your most likely not hacked. Wikipedia can be edited by any one with an IP address. Some IP addresses change periodically, and may be shared by several users. Now that you have created an account and user name it should avoid confusion with other anonymous users on that IP adress in the future. disregard the notices'. Hu12 20:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

speedy deletion to redirect

I am the administrator looking at it. In deciding what to do with the article I have decided to redirect. Do you have a reason to object to this decision?Geni 13:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Spam reports to WP:AIV

I want to thank you for your vigilance in removing spam links (I've seen you before on many articles). I wanted to leave you a note because I removed the recent spam reports that you left on WP:AIV because the spamming had occurred several days ago. You should only report spamming that is currently in progress. You might look into Talk:Spam blacklist if you see a pattern of certain sites always being spammed, because they can be added to the spam blacklist. -- Gogo Dodo 02:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the note. Will do.. I am watchng those accounts and will report only when/if the become currenty active. Thanks for the hard work and effort. --Hu12 03:21, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry

That was an edit conflict. I didn't realize you'd already replaced the talk page w/ a welcome message when I posted. Sorry about that. -GTBacchus(talk) 00:56, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

no problem. thought that atleast i could do after the misunderstanding is welcome him here--Hu12 00:58, 11 December 2006 (UTC).
