Hanyang University has dishonest things in its entry.

Much of what is on this site is unverifiable, and some if it is simply not true. For example, the entry below claims that Hanyang University ranks 210th in the world. Such is not only unverifiable: it is also a lie (see http://ed.sjtu.edu.cn/rank/2006/ARWU2005_102-200.htm). The following entry is advertizing produced by Hanyang University. This is not what Wikipedia was made for, is it? So, consider carefully whether or not you trust this source of information about this university.

I posted the above material with the entry, yet you deleted it. The entry itself, however, which is full of outrageous comments clearly and verifiably dishonest, remains. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.72.88.166 (talk) 04:12, 15 February 2007 (UTC).

Unprotecting

I noticed you sprotected Brett Favre. Do you have a big issue if I unprotect?--Isotope23 15:01, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Cool... unfortunately it is the best way to root out the last few vestiges of this mess.--Isotope23 20:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

For the vandal revert on my user page. I guess that guy didn't like my afd vote. Dave6 ^talk 17:40, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Your name

Luna, I hope you don't mind. I used your name in my award for Selket bot shown here, since sometimes you edit from college. Real96 17:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

I was so astounded by it, I didn't know what to say in my deletion reason, but I found you'd already taken over :) riana_dzasta 20:05, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Good looking out

Thank you for reverting the vandalism to my user page. It was done by the sockpuppet of a vandal account that I had blocked earlier. See User:Allatropic.--Jersey Devil 22:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Flag of Lithuania

Sorry for disturbing, but maybe there would be a way to stop vandalism, including partial protection, because it seems to be gone out of control for now.--Lokyz 22:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for explanation.--Lokyz 23:07, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for reverting my User page :-) Will 23:06, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Removing legitimate comments

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. GDG2 23:46, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Blocking an account anon only

I noticed that Carbide77 (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) has a block log that shows a block of (anon. only, account creation blocked). This doesn't do anything does it? --WikiSlasher 00:13, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thank you very much Luna Santin for reverting vandalism to my userpage. Happy editing!--PrestonH | talk | contribs | editor review | 00:42, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help! I'll be back online tomorrow, and I'll try to sort things out then (and thank all the others who helped revert). yandman 11:11, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Planemo (blocked as a sockpuppet)

Hi, Luna Santin!

I'm writing because I see you put an indefinite block on Planemo about six weeks ago.

Today I left a welcome message for a new user who calls himself Necrosapiant. This person apparently just signed up a couple of days ago, but seems quite knowledgeable of WP procedures (he deleted a "prod" tag I had placed here). I took a look at Necrosapiant's contributions, and noticed that the only other thing this "new" user has done so far is reinstate a comment by Planemo that had been deleted about the same time as you imposed the indefinite block.

I don't know if it's the same person, or not, but figured you might appreciate a heads up. Thanks! DavidCBryant 00:20, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

T

Regarding what you wrote on my talk page, I just feel that Macaw 54 might keep coming back under different user names. Any way to prevent this?? Georgia guy 01:41, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, regarding the edit Internet 444 made, I'm quite sure he's a sockpuppet of Macaw 54, and please label him as such. Georgia guy 01:45, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

--Java7837 21:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Like A Maiden

Hey Luna...this is apparently a fake album assembled by illegal download sites. I was just about to speedy it, but I'm not sure what category to use. What do you think? -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 22:02, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, looks like someone went ahead and deleted it. Are there any logs that tell you what rationale the deleting admin used? -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 22:15, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

For looking into my request for usurpation. I really hope that I can acquire the username Ali, after all, it is my real name! You have continually been quite helpful to me and other users on Wikipedia (for me, particularly with the partial unblock of 206.213.157.4, which allows me to edit Wikipedia at school), and I really appreciate it. Again, thank you! --Nevhood 23:08, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

David A. Yeagley

Hi, why do you continue to unprotect David A. Yeagley when you know the anon vandal is persistent about this? In fact, it seems to be his life's work to vandalize this article. Continuing to unprotect is not a good solution, in my opinion. Badagnani 00:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks so much. As the disruption is being done by a single individual (though using multiple, related IPs), I think protecting only for new/anon users would be appropriate, to allow for legitimate editing. Badagnani 00:30, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Just a small note, and a kittenstar!

Thanks for reverting my talk page; I am not sure what I did to bring the wrath of that editor upon myself, but I bear no ill will towards the person, even if they do not feel the same towards myself. Excellent job at being so quick; by the time I got the new messages bar it was already fixed, which I was most certainly not expecting. I hereby present you with this kittenstar as a token of gratitude for making my day brighter. I hope you have a most wonderful day, and happy editing! Kyra_~(talk) 09:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Another user told me earlier to report to WP:AIV those names which are Inapporiate [3] --Cometstyles 19:48, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Sock attack

Thanks for the help and protection on my user page. I'm busy outside of WP today, so you can keep the protection on for a day or so. I never thought of Kevin Federline as a flash-point. Cheers! --EarthPerson 18:02, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Re:Quick note

Thank you. I was concerned because his phone number was saved in the page history, but I was not aware of the Oversight feature. Appreciate the help. --Nevhood 20:08, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

10,000 Accounts.

Did you read the message SeaWorld01/Starwars1955 left on his talk page before the message was removed (it's still in the history) and the page protected? Do you really believe that he has 10,000 accounts? I don't believe it, as I think it's a bluff. As you said, he should just give up: he is wasting everyone's time, including his own. Acalamari 22:14, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, he does have a lot of sleepers. I think 10,000 is a bluff; it would take a lot of time to just to acutally set up all those accounts. Acalamari 23:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

You vandalism fighter, you!

Thanks for the RVV on my user page! 〈REDVEЯS〉 23:00, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

User:Glassocger

Is this you? John Reaves (talk) 23:13, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

can you please review your policy on Megameeting information beling listed

I have tried on many occasions to add useful information on additional companies that are in the Video Conference space. Companies like Adobe and MegaMeeting.com have video conference technology built on Flash technology. This has not only brought down the cost of the service, increase the amount of Video displayed, but also allowed it to work on multiple platforms like Mac, PC, and Linux. People look to Wikipedia for information that is current and supplied by multiple sources. I am unsure why companies like Microsoft, Radvision, Webex, Gotomeeting can have their information displayed here and not other companies. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jasonrrichmond (talk • contribs) 01:22, 21 February 2007 (UTC).

You refer to an innocent user's comments as trolling and you remove his vote. Why? Zbl 02:04, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

User:Zbl

I'm not sure if this is appropriate, but what do you think on running a checkuser on Zbl at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/CBDrunkerson?

Re:Wolfgang The First

Just so you know, he's sat right next to me, hence why I'm reverting his edits so fast. He doesn't intend to stop, he's still doing it now. Vimescarrot 09:44, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, he's been blocked anyways. No worries. Vimescarrot 09:45, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

He's made a new account, Wolfgang The Second. Vimescarrot 09:55, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

No problem. I'll keep you updated. He'll (probably) be gone by 10:15 GMT, since that's when this period ends. Yes, we're in school. Vimescarrot 09:59, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Wolfgang The Third is on its way, it seems. Not very original, is he? Vimescarrot 10:00, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

He's going for a new name, and he's turned his screen away from me....He's also reading everything I do. An idea occurs...Hehe, I just turned off his computer. :) Vimescarrot 10:02, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

AIV

Hey, I just wanted to remind you that we shouldn't block a user if they haven't vandalize after their t4 warning. I was removing IPs from the list twice, and I saw that you had already blocked the users. Thanks, Nishkid64 20:12, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

72.237.248.5 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • RBLs • block user • block log) - t4 at 20:02 UTC, last edit 20:01.

66.199.192.211 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • RBLs • block user • block log) t4 at 19:50 UTC, last edit at 19:48 UTC.

Also, can you add block messages to user talk pages? I just noticed you hadn't done so for some IPs. Thanks, Nishkid64 20:18, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Lol, sorry about the template. Nishkid64 20:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Seems like a good idea to me. Nishkid64 21:01, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Removing a speedy deletion tag

How should you go about removing a speedy deletion tag? I tagged an article earlier today - HotUKDeals - but the author seems to have cleaned it up pretty well. SparrowsWing _(talk) 00:19, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your assistance and prompt reply. SparrowsWing _(talk) 00:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: User talk:DavyJonesGSB

OK, an unblock is okay with me for now. If there's more vandalism, a temporary block. And while I'm leaving a message, do you mind if I use something similar to User:Luna Santin/Templates/Bar for my userpage (as I am remodeling it)? –Llama man^talk_contribs 02:27, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

David A. Yeagley

Hi, somehow the libelous version of David A. Yeagley is the one that has become protected. Can you fix this? Thanks, as always, Badagnani 03:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you; I've just gone ahead and reverted to the original version myself, as it's only soft protected. Badagnani 03:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Userbar and improve me

Hi Luna Santin,

That userbar looks great, and I really like the improve me idea.
Mind if I borrow it for my userpage?

Cheers JackSparrow Ninja 03:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Composite superman

saw your edits and block here, and wanted to thank you. I had JUST found that he'd removed a comment regarding the merge [4] here, and was going to go to his talk and then find an Admin. Nice to know it' all been resolved. Thank you. ThuranX 04:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Case vs. Investigation

Hi, I am going to abuse your knowledge if you don't mind please :) What is the correct form by you as a native speaker:

30 Cases of Major Zeman

30 Investigations of Major Zeman

Where it means criminal cases which detective Major Zeman must solve. Thank you. ≈Tulkolahten≈^≈talk≈ 08:40, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Major Zeman is a policeman who solves 30 criminal (cases or investigations) during each episode. In each episode he gets a file with (case or investigation) and tries to found thief/murderer etc. In Czech it is "Tricet pripadu Majora Zemana" without official english translation. :) ≈Tulkolahten≈^≈talk≈ 08:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much :) I changed title to "Thirty Major Zeman's Cases" according your recommendations. ≈Tulkolahten≈^≈talk≈ 08:59, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: Sock problems

Hi! Thank you for your help; Pink and I both especially appreciate our userpages being protected. WP:SM actually already maintains a watchlist of all of our articles at Special:Recentchangeslinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject Sailor Moon/Watchlist, so that should also be a good resource for watching the problem. Again, thanks, and let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Mostly I really hope he just gets bored and goes away soon. --Masamage 00:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

They don't have a "Wikipedian-come-sysop-who-idles-in-#wikipedia-just-waiting-for-me-to-come-in-and-admin-you" barnstar, so I figured this would do:

		The da Vinci Barnstar
		I, Deon555, award Luna Santin this barnstar for his awesome speedy deletion, requested deletion, protection, and requested undeletion skills. Everytime I need something and I pop into #wikipedia with !admin, Luna's always the first to do the job. Keep up the good work, — Deon555talkdesksign here! 01:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Question

This vandalism edit on Crystallization has a personal email included, is that grounds for reporting to WP:RFO? --Nevhood 03:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I just sent an email, and I'll let you know what they tell me. Thanks for the help! --Nevhood 04:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

They haven't responded, but the edit was apparently hidden, I just checked the article history and the edit is no longer there. --Nevhood 04:32, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Stealth

Thanks for taking a candid look at that Stealth article. That the subject is a company held by a prominent admin of Wikipedia makes it only more disconcerting. I am sure that the hive mind will be able to re-build the article, using more reputable and varied reference citations, and all will be better. I'm here to try to improve the encyclopedia. If it takes a few trout-slaps along the way, so be it. --72.94.164.52 05:09, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
