Hey man - that's twice you've been helpful! Good to meet you - nice to have you on side! --Cardinal Wurzel 20:38, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Unnecessary Edits
Please stop labeling or providing stereotype of what a ball hog is. Allen Iverson is such a ball hog that he has 7 assists per game? Does that make sense?
Do not put Iverson or Kobe's name in the citation. Just because some beat writers from ESPN or MSNBC say such and such are ballhog doesn't make it true. ESPN and MSNBC are "opinion" columns. The writers intentionally pick those players so they can gain more readers which translate to money.
WARNING: Any citation of any player will be reverted and deleted.
Re:Why
Sorry, I might of haphazardly RV it whilst trying to fix the vandalism of [[user:Cerpin taxt|Cerpin taxt]. :-p. Sorry If it wasn't vandalism --ShadowJester07 04:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
I also have Asperger's Syndrome
Its funny to be judged by a fellow person, heh. --Eiyuu Kou 22:55, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well that's a neat little coincidence. But what exactly do you mean by : "Its funny to be judged by a fellow person"? --Wildnox
MACEDONIA edit
You edited
These are valid links for the article. They are from a Macedonian point of view and are listed under that category. Why were these removed?
Thanks for the explaination
Ya, no problem :) Sorry about labeling it vandalism. I am just tired of the MK point of view being ignored and erased.
User talk:Jasper23
Please don't intimidate users with scary templates without policy basis. Also note that you deleted Jasper23's own message here. That's not good. For you to remove a good faith message from his page is a much bigger no-no than for him to remove a warning. Compare this discussion on the admin noticeboard, and see also this post of mine (which has been deleted from the page by User:American Patriot 1776). Bishonen | talk 11:08, 17 August 2006 (UTC).
Ignatius Vandal
Thank you for the advice. I would have reported him there had I known it existed. The message was in hope that a recent changes patroller would be an admin. Again, thanks-Hornandsoccer 04:01, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Snooker
Sorry about that. Is there anyway to safeguard against doing that? Should I just refresh the page before I revert? Tips on fighting vandals would be helpful. Enjoyhats 06:00, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Loose Change (video)
If the issue of the "Supporting Opinion" section/OR synthpaper gets out of hand again in Loose Change (video), should somebody get an advocate or arbitration? Or would there be another course of action? I have no idea since I have no experience with advocates or arbitration. --Wildnox 20:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- I believe the official preferred first step for content disputes of this nature is to petition the Mediation Cabal, but I'm uncertain how effective that would be unless we can get all parties involved posting on the article's talk page first.--Rosicrucian 20:03, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- The Cabal may have a chance. Demosfoni did at least respond to stuff on his talk page before, even if his response was all attacks. So I think he would at least communicate. Even if he does just ignore mediation, I would like to at least try. --20:10, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- I've taken the time to visit his talkpage leave some friendly tips on what is and isn't okay to cite (as he was citing things like SourceWatch and a few blogs). I hope he takes it in the spirit it is intended, and it eases his frustration in editing.--Rosicrucian 00:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Need Some Help
I would very much appreciate your help. The ongoing anonymous attacks on the Rod D. Martin bio have stepped up a new notch, with a whole group of "candidate for deletion" boxes and similar at the top of the page. I am unsure as to what to do about this: the claim is that he isn't notable (he's obviously notable enough to start an edit war), but that seems pretty obviously false. Do you have any suggestions? I'm very sorry to bother you with this. Samdmd 02:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
I see you've already been asked about this. I am not violating 3rr, which explicitly does not apply to biographies of living persons. The person I've reverted has repeatedly asserted negative information about the subject without citation, and deleted cited, NPOV facts. Why are you after me? DelosHarriman 18:04, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
If you are involved in the Rod Martin page, please make sure that the rule is followed that content must be verifiable. Some users are inserting matters into the Rod D. Martin biography that is plainly not verifiable. In your opinion, does recycling content from an autobiographical website count as verifiable? If so, this just seems like an invitation for any political wannabe to set up his own website, place false claims within it, and (voila!) any content is verified.
69.15.59.130 has just blown way past three reverts on both the Rod D. Martin article and TheVanguard.Org (that last one making no sense I can see at all). He is also removing sourced material right and left. I apologize for bothering you: its just that I have a real life and I can't be the Rod Martin police constantly. If it's this easy to mess around with articles, I don't see how anyone can keep anything useful on here at all without legions of people duking it out all the time. It's crazy. Anyway, thank you.

Fabrangen Fiddlers
You voted to delete Fabrangen Fiddlers. I'd ask you to take another look. I believe that notability has now been established. - Jmabel | Talk 01:24, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Rod D. Martin
Please note the following Wikirule in WP:BIO:
Editors should remove any negative material that is either unsourced or relies upon sources that do not meet standards specified in Wikipedia:Reliable sources from any page, including those concerning living persons and related talk pages, without discussion; this is also listed as an exception to the three-revert rule.
Thus, it is not improper to repeatedly revert when unreliable sources are used in a biography.
- You misread the item above, (re)read really carefully. ;)--Wildnox 04:28, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I would like to apologize also
This is for the revert war that we had on my talk page. The whole issue started out as my fault and I do apologize for any ill feelings that you may have felt at anytime. Your apology is fully accepted but was not really necessary. I have absolutely no ill feelings toward you and am sure that we will be on the same side of issues in the future.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP LET US TRY TO MAKE A CONVERT OUT OF YOU ALL THE BEST PIOTREK BLASS
Block Evasion
I've blocked him for 31 hours for his pattern of editing and sockpuppetry. That should suffice until the other block expires, or we receive results from CheckUser. alphaChimp(talk) 14:21, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Re: LUCPOL sock accusation
Thanks for letting me know. Even a quick look at my contributions ought to solve it. maxcap 23:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- yes, I think you did the right thing. I'm going to check over the contribs right now. I think I kight just be able to block them as obvious throwaway accounts. alphaChimp(talk) 23:55, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
They are NOT my sockpuppets
This is absolutely false. 85.18.14.4 was my old IP, when I still could not register myself - but even in that case, I refused to commit any vandalism. Instead, Malfunction, Maxcap and Babubhatt are the usernames for other users, which are also very little involved in the article about Rapcore, Limp Bizkit and Fred Durst. -- Egr (talk), 9/8/2006
- Thanks for informing me, Wildnox. Now I'm trying to discuss seriously with Lucpol. -- Egr (talk), 9/8/2006
Rapcore intro
I totally agree with your proposal, Wildnox. I accept both the removal of "of", in fact "...sometimes of funk" seems to be redundant and can make some readers confusing. -- Egr (talk), 9/11/2006
- Intro is OK. This intro is compromise and end edit war. LUCPOL 19:44, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- OK. After this agreement about the most relevant/evident genre in rapcore, I will wait for the unblock, also because spamlinks should be removed. -- Egr, 9/12/2006
- Unprotected. Good discussion thus far. Remember, discuss, not revert. alphaChimp(talk) 01:59, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism revert
You're welcome, the user concerned is now taking a 48 hour wikibreak. Let me know should you have further problems when he returns. Best, Gwernol 00:23, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks! Tom Harrison Talk 01:01, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

- YES!!! thanks man it did help out.Razor romance 16:14, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Trivium
I would never call them Thrash either, but I'll allow it if it's cited. Removal of "metalcore" under any circumstance however, is blasphemy. I hate this band and I'm just making sure the article is not butched with "Heavy Metal" "Thrash Metal" "Death Metal" and etc.
Thanks for the reverts though --Ryouga 05:30, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Dawn of Relic
I was not vandalising the site as you put it... they are an established black metal band, although not massive they are quite well known. I have just wasted half an hour of my time, as you just stopped all my creation. If you would be kind enough to remake Dawn of Relic page with the full details it would be much obliged. Here is proof they are not made up/ rubbish. http://cc.oulu.fi/~roininen/dor/dorindex.html (official site) http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=5250 (metal archives page)
btw I think they are more Black metal than Dark.
Many Thanks,

Please help
Something has gone wrong with the page that I have created, I was hoping you could help me seeing as though you are an experienced wikipedian who deals with a lot of metal bands etc ... All the information is there, just something has gone wrong with the album box.
Asics
p.s. I appologise for the Samual Clayton thing, it was my friend messing around when he was at my house, and I was logged on but busy elsewhere.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by asics (talk • contribs).
Thanks
Yeah, it was that one, i forgot to say! Thanks again, I will try and do the others now without messing them up!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by asics (talk • contribs).
