Why was my edit reverted? Experiment???
I just saw that you reverted my edit to the frozen custard article, I'm not sure why, or what you mean by saying that I was "experimenting" or that my "test was successful". The only thing I can think of is that you seem to think I'm somehow related to Kohrs, which I'm not. I'm a sound engineer for theatre and concerts based out of NY who happens to have eaten at Kohrs in the last couple of years, and though it odd that other popular chains were mentioned, but no note was made that the original cited in the article was still available from the same family-owned company. Again, I have NO ties at all to Kohrs, I just felt it was worth including for completeness sake. If you feel it's more appropriate to move that to the links section with the other custard companies at the end of the post, that's one thing, but to revert it and chastise me about "experimenting" and "testing" with Wikipedia? Look, I'm sorry I posted as an anonymous editor, it was frankly because I just didn't have the time to devote to the hassle of registering at the moment. Of course, now that I've spent so much time defending myself to you, I probably could have just done that and avoided the whole thing, for all I know, but... 72.231.23.215 02:41, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Update: I just registered, so you can find the "real" me aside from by IP. SoundGuyAndy 02:44, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
use your brain first, accuse people of vandalism then
you and your admin friends are vandalising; im editing.
- Your blog is not an appropriate link; it is even less appropriate given that your latest entry is a rant about Wikipedia. Please consider these things in future edits. Thanks. Wafulz 23:48, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Ottawa Senators
The reason why I explained the goal was cause:
- It was an overtime
- It was the series ending goal
- It was the last game the sens played
- It was a heart-breaker, being shorthanded.
and about the scouting report thing, I made it cause there was one of Kaberle, too. I like adding little things cause I want to write everything I know, and it gives out more information.
- I understand that it was a series-ending goal and was significant in that right, but we don't need to know every detail about it- the fact that it was shorthanded and it was on a breakaway should be enough. We don't really need to know that he cut in and put it in the left half of the net (or right half, from the attacking perspective).
- The Hasek scouting report had a lot of problems with things like the Neutral Point of View and some flimsy facts. I was a bit harsh to revert the whole thing though- I probably should've left it for someone else to edit and clean up. On that note, you can check out TSN's player profile to see how they say things on a scouting report. Wafulz 23:52, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
OK. The scouting reports are also on sportsnet.ca, just a note. I'm a sens fan, so this year I watched him play almost every game until he got injured and I read other people's comments on the web, so that's why I wrote it.
Re:Blocking 24.181.70.227
Hi! Thanks for your message. I was certainly considering making it longer. We typically give an IP/user a couple chances to reform, but I'll agree with you that this person has shown no interest in adding productively to the encyclopedia. I'll extend it to a full week (we typically don't block IP's indefinitely), and if he tries the same edits immediately following that, we'll extend it to at least a month or so. EWS23 (Leave me a message!) 17:52, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Sure, no problem. I've made the block 8 days now. On the previous block, I allowed account creation and blocked only anonymous users, which is as soft as we can make blocks. This time I have blocked all users on that IP and prevented account creation. However, we don't know yet whether there are other good contributors on that IP, perhaps using long established usernames. We should find out in the next 8 days, seeing if a legitimate contributor asks to be unblocked on that IP address. If so, it'll make our jobs a little tougher; if not, then hopefully we won't hesitate to block for a longer period of time at the next transgression. I'm keeping an eye on that IP address user talk page, but I was fortune to be the one to come across this case again. If the vandalism starts up again and someone else blocks for a shorter period of time, feel free to contact me, and I'll try to work it out. EWS23 (Leave me a message!) 18:10, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Eart 2025
Well, I prodded a whole lot of web games because there's alot of them on wikipedia that I think are barely notable and shouldn't be here. So I came across earth 2025 and I didn't see anything indicating that it was notable but I did see that it had alot of players and had been around for a while so just I slapped that notability banner on. But great that it won a webby award but you should really add that to the article. Also I'd suggest making it a little more encyclopedic and a little less advertising and game guide. It's not bad but I think it could be better. Well anyways, banner gone. --Peephole 03:47, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
I don't there's something like a game guide, but suggest taking a look at some other articles on browser based games like Urban_Dead. For the Earth 2025 article I would mainly focus on doing away with the lists and tables. --Peephole 16:29, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

MAP
MAP-Micromobile Account Payments Hello please can you help me so my page/s are not deleted. How can i put something on wiki without having it deleted. There is nothing wrong with my pages I just dont have all the time and knowledge to put it on wiki without it being deleted. Is it fair to have pages that are similar to mine on wiki but not mine? If you delete mine then please delete the others also, or is wiki biased?
let me know regards simon

WP:AIV
Hi, the two editors you reported to WP:AIV aren't simple vandalism of the sort that we normally report to WP:AIV. AIV is normally for clear cut cases like page blanking, interjection of random profanity in articles etc. I've therefore taken the liberty of moving your report over to WP:ANI where is more appropriate.

Jugnu Mohsin
Hi, I understand Wikipedia policies better now. Previously I thought that because we're not supposed to contribute original research, we were meant to copy and paste articles from elsewhere. Trouble was I didn't know how to cite where I was getting my information from.
Anyway, I now understand that this is against the rules. I've updated Jugnu Mohsin's profile. All the writing is my own, all the facts are documented and known to be true, the opinions are stated as such. Please allow that to now appear as an article. Thanks, Imaduddin 13:22, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Dead Runners Society
Hello. I am the author of the Dead Runners Society page -- and live in Toronto, btw. Anyway, I have temporarily reverted the images to their previous size. (Yours come out too small -- especially the DRS Italia one) and also throw off the whole layout of the page. I agree that the images in my version are a bit too large -- but would ask you to whole off editing for a few days. I am in the process of getting the original graphics -- and should be able to manipulate them more easily. Thanks!
Jugnu Mohsin
Hey, Wafulz, please take down the article that was a copy and paste job (sorry, I didn't know that was against the rules) and put in its place the article that is in the temporary site. Thanks, 202.163.68.111 14:40, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
Well, apparently in that discussion, making productive discussion is also unproductive, as it seems to be ignored in favor of zealous delete comments that don't even make any sense. Ameise -- chat 21:36, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Witch Hunt?
First SWGEmu, and now into the black. You seem to be on a role, travelling the Wikipedia and hunting articles to use non-policy reasoning to delete new articles. Wikipedia is not a witchhunt. Zeekthegeek 02:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick reply. I'm just a little bit tired and upset over how hasty the encyclopedia in general seems to be to delete articles, especially those I've contributed to. It really..gets on my nerves, I'm sure you understand. SWG Emulator is really frustrating, because I don't think our points there have ever been acknowledged by the pro-deletion folks. Zeekthegeek
I'm Sorry
Hey there. Thanks for the message about the Eagleblood entry I am sorry for deleting it, yet, and I know i haven't any real way of proving it, but I am eagleBlood. And I know that still isn't any grounds to delete it, but a friend of mine had recently told me that he posted that, and I don't believe that there is enough there to warrant a wiki entry. I might in future want to re-edit this entry when I am ready. I'm am sorry that you consider it vandalism, I will try to be more considerate in future. eagleBlood releases will soon be available at www.polysypher.com, my netlabel. If you have any other enquiries, please e-mail me at polysypher@gmail.com Thanks for your input =)
re the new article on Jugnu Mohsin
click on the temporary article on her. I think this will remain temporary until you delete the first one and don't approve the temporary one.
it reads as follows. i wrote it.
Born of a wealthy family with shrewd business acumen – her brother and father run a family owned leading food company [1]; her highly successful businessmen maternal uncle helped start up LUMS, now Pakistan’s most prestigious management sciences university – Jugnu Mohsin was inspired by husband Najam Sethi to combine her money and cutting wit for civic purposes: to hold the Establishment accountable. In 1984 Najam had been arrested under martial law in for releasing books with his book publishing firm Vanguard Books. [2] The press hardly took notice and the couple were determined to set up their own paper.
In May 1989 the Lahore based couple did just that, thus establishing Pakistan’s first independent English newsweekly[3] The Friday Times which has since been needling successive governments with its outspoken equal opportunity criticism.
This, allies would maintain, is what lead to one eventful May 1999 when Sethi was dragged from his bedroom in the middle of the night and imprisoned in jail, where he was held for 25 days. Sethi’s piercing criticism of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, it is alleged, what the root cause – making the matter a freedom of press issue.4
Jugnu Mohsin rallied up support from Western allies - Amnesty International, the Committee to Protect Journalists, World Bank President James Wolfensohn, and US State Department spokesman, James Rubin – to exert pressure on Sharif’s regime for the immediate release of her husband. The sedition charges were finally dropped on June 2, but not without further government harassment, including calls for Sethi to be stripped of his status as a Muslim and have his name taken off voter lists.
In 1999 the couple were recognised for their bold contributions to journalism and both were recipients of the Committee to Protect Journalist’s International Press Freedom award. [5]
In addition to being the Managing Editor and Publisher of The Friday Times, Jugnu Mohsin launched GoodTimes [6] as its Publisher and Editor in January 2005.
Jugnu’s witty satirical pieces at the back page of The Friday Times in the form of spoofs of incumbent administration and opposition. Her current spoof columns ‘Ittefaq Nama’ and ‘Mush and Bush’ poke fun at ex-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Presidents Bush and Musharraf.
Jugnu will be soon publishing a collection of the profiles of Pakistani luminaries that she wrote for The Friday Times’ features section in a book. Ever tireless, the husband-wife duo are also set to launch a television network broadcasted from Dubai to the Subcontinent.
Jugnu Mohsin received her LLB degree from Cambridge University. Before partnering her husband professionally, Jugnu was a practicing lawyer and member of the Women's Action Forum.

Powerplay
Regarding your edits to the powerplay articles. Never move an article by copying its entire contents to a new article. If you want to move an article, you must use the Move button at the top of each page. If this does not work, you must get an administrator to help you. There are technical and legal reasons for this, mainly around maintaining the edit history for the material, so that it is clear who wrote what.--Srleffler 03:42, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Into The Black
I remember seeing Into The Black up for AfD, and I noticed that it was deleted today. Interestingly enough, I found that there is an Into the Black article (note the lowercase 't'). It's really too late now, but perhaps you should have looked for existing pages and proposed a merge instead of an AfD. I'm not trying to sound mean, but it was just something I noticed today. ~ Amalas rawr =^_^= 15:45, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- I didn't read much of the deleted article, so I don't know how much of it is the same. I can't think of any different procedure, really, except that if you do put Into the Black up for Afd, you should mention that it was not a recreation of Into The Black (since it existed before the deletion) and should be treated separately. Just my 2 cents. ~ Amalas rawr =^_^= 20:51, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

About Daniel Wagner, Associates
You have made a FACTUAL error in your Google search - I think you should go the deletion page and
1). Correct your mistake immediately and
2). apologise to the Author for causing her misery and distress. To delete pages based on errors of fact is almost amounting to harassment. I am sorry to use strong language but you have caused the Author much unnecessary distress – We have plenty of that in the world without these additions by mistaken Users. Have a Nice day.

Hello, Wafulz. Stop accusing me of vandalism. Stop using the term "Christian" as a description of "Right-Wing". It is blasphemous. I substiute "pseudo-Christian" and "Christianist" for accuracy. YOU need to adopt neutrality in your article. I also have corrected you misassociation of left-wing with socialism and communism. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.177.186.87 (talk • contribs).
request for immediate help
This is a request for immediate help from Kmaguir1 07:22, 30 August 2006 (UTC). If you have time, I'd like you to examine the Bell Hooks article and talk page. It's a scholarly article about a controversial writer, someone who drew the ire of a conservative commentator. They wanted me to go get the quote from her book, and I did that. But now, they're arguing it's not notable. As a fellow AfD frequenter, you will know that of all the meaningless academic trivia included on her page, that what they wanted to exclude was really ridiculous: that she says as an opening to her book, Killing Rage, "I am writing this essay sitting beside an anonymous white male that I long to murder". This may in itself be notable, but David Horowitz wrote about it in 100 Dangerous Professors, and it was written about on front page mag, and all the citations are given on the page. I would appreciate your help--I'm contending with some very difficult Marxists who are attached to her work, and think that they're defending the liberal cause, but really, they're just keeping out material that is very easily notable.-Kmaguir1 07:22, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
- Greetings. In the interest of disclosure, I'd like to inform you of a conduct RfC on Kmaguir1. It's here: Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Kmaguir1. If you have time and are so inclined, feel free to provide comments there. Meanwhile, if you go to the bell hooks page, please do join in the discussion. If you read the Talk page and look at my and others' edit histories, you'll see that the picture is not quite as Kmaguir1 paints it. (I have no idea who the Marxists are he's referring to, and I've also edited his text for improvement, and left it in the article, vs. what he's saying here.)
- Bottom line: welcome to bell hooks, be aware of the RfC, and feel free to join it. Cheers,--Anthony Krupp 17:26, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
