Nils

Not too much detail, and nice to know about the refs. For some reason I just prefer them after the period, always have, lol. I noticed the article at DYK, and I actually know a whole lot about Nils, as I worked in ICU/CCU/SICU specializing in dialysis for years and years, and Gambro is a word burned into my brain, lol. So all in all, it was pretty easy to do and right up my alley! ArielGold 13:10, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

DYK

Updated DYK query On 8 October 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Nils Alwall, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

--Carabinieri 00:09, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Henrik!

I realize you are on vacation (and I hope you have a blast!) but if I don't post this I'll forget it, lol. When you get some time once you're back and rested up, could you perhaps add a prompt field to the {{afc exists}} option (similar to the box that pops up when you create a redirect, or an article, asking you what title you want)? That template has a field for the article name, to add it so the note will read "This article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it at _____". However, afc helper doesn't let you add that, so I usually go back in and edit it to add the title. It just would be a helpful little thing, but is certainly not a giant problem or issue, so it isn't urgent. Talk to you soon! ArielGold 17:13, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

William E. Metzger

Updated DYK query Did you know? was updated. On 14 October 2007, a fact from the article William E. Metzger, which you recently nominated, was featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

--Elkman (Elkspeak) 03:57, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

By the way, I was experimenting with using your DYK notifier script (User:Henrik/js/dyk-notifier.js) for doing semi-automatic DYK updates. I think the syntax for Lupin's popups autoedit functionality changed since you wrote your original script. I've made a number of changes, which are now located at User:Elkman/js/dyk-notifier.js. If you have any interest in updating your script, or letting people know that there's an updated notifier script out there, you're welcome to do so. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 04:04, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm definitely still interested in updating and maintaining the script -- I'll incorporate your changes into my version. I'd like to help out more at the DYK section, as it seems to be something that could use more people. The script was meant to be a first step, but the main problem I have is that you need to be an admin to update T:DYK and hence to effectively use the the script (and I'm not). Thoroughly testing a script and making it fit into the admins workflow without being able to use it is a bit tricky. Do you have any suggestions for other features? henriktalk 21:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

William E. Metzger (2)

Thanks for the compliment on the article I created on William E. Metzger, and thanks for transcribing it. I had considered getting a username, but I don't know if I'd edit enough to make it worthwhile. Also, I rather like the article submission process, because it essentially involves an automatic peer-review before being included in the encyclopedia (I've submitted another couple articles, Horace Rackham and Childe Wills, with a different IP, although my sources were better for the Metzger article). 75.45.74.76 01:27, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't think there is a minimum required activity here, I made a grand total of 9 edits the whole first year I had my account. You can still use the Articles for Creation process, but it'll make communicating with other editors a bit easier if you have an account. henriktalk 21:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Swedens and Stockholms weather

Hi, I got all temperatures from SMHI.SE, the Swedish Weather Center. Plus I am from Sweden and know all temperatures. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MattiasNJ (talkcontribs) 04:28, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I saw that you added a reference for the temperatures in Sweden. An unfortunate corollary of "Allowing anyone to edit" is that we can't trust the word of any one individual either, not that I doubt you are factually correct. In the future, this page on citing sources may be useful. Happy editing! henriktalk 22:07, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Adminship

Hi Henrik (or halla!, as I remember). Had a very very quick look at your contributions, and you would definitely qualify as an administrator. If it's okay with you, I will write a short nomination statement over the next day or so after I look fully at your work, which will appear at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Henrik. We can work on it til you are happy with it. Just let me know you're happy for me to go ahead, and I can start to write the statement. I'll let you know when it is up (I suggest you watchlist the red link). Thank you for letting me know! Neil  22:15, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Neil! I'd be delighted, so please go ahead. I'll certainly watchlist that link. (You're very close: "hallå", but typing that last character without having a Swedish keyboard is a bit tricky.) henriktalk 22:23, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
It is now blue - I have made a first draft! Feel free to rewrite any part of my statement if I have any facts wrong, or have missed out any achievements you are proud of. You will also need to indicate acceptance, and answer the three questions. I recommend looking at past succesful RFAs to get an idea of what is expected. People are looking for an awareness of policy, evidence of good editing (no problem there), and any evidence of conflict you have helped resolve is always excellent. Let me know if you have any questions - it will not be posted until you are entirely happy. Neil  22:38, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
I think you did an excellent job of summarizing my work here. I've done my best answering the questions now - I also added an optional question for myself, I hope that is acceptable. henriktalk 01:07, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Hallå again! That looks fine to me. I have rewritten a sentence of my own as even I can't understand what I was trying to say! As you have indicated you are happy for me to proceed, I will go ahead and post it.
You will want to check back in once the RFA is posted as people may post additional questions. My advice is not to argue with any "oppose" votes there may or may not be - any replies to "oppose"s you do make should be solely to clarify any requests for further information, keeping them very short and very polite. It's generally better if you don't reply at all (I can do that for you!). Neil  09:49, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
The RFA is posted - good luck! Neil  09:58, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Hej! Quick reminder, in case you didn't notice - an extra questions has been posted. I think it's probably cheating if I tell you where to look for the answer if you don't already know, but I'm sure a smart guy like you can figure it out :) Skål! Neil  17:16, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Indeed, you telling me the answer might just be construed as unfair advantage. :-) Thanks for the note! henriktalk 19:31, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Citizendium, the not necessarily free encyclopedia

Thanks for the note. I was very tempted just to de-speedy those, but I wanted to be sure. The licnesure is, as you say still iffy. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 21:10, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Ancient Celtic music

I posted this article and also forked another two articles from Citizendium: Theodor Lohmann and Telephone newspaper so whatever is decided should be applied to all three. Anyway when I copied them over I did so because I though they were well written and were missing from wikipedia with the exception of Telephone newspaper which was a stub. At the time I checked citizendium's copyright policy here: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Copyrights, which states: All articles with content sourced from Wikipedia to the Citizendium are considered to be released under the GNU Free Documentation License 1.2. All other contributions are considered to be released under an open content license yet to be determined.

So I assumed that this should allow us to copy their content. After this article was nominated for deletion I decided to look into the matter and apperently they are going to decide on their license by november 15 and the three candidates are the GDFL (the same we use over here), CC-BY-SA (which is compatible with the GDFL and again would allow us to usethe content) and CC-BY-SA-NC which would limit commercial use and so would be incompatible with the GDFL. The question remains however if we can copy their material now as they themselves state that its currently distributed under a free license. In any case their deadline for choosing a license is close enough that I think we can wait and then take any appropriate action.

PS: I was writting this in the articles talk page when you deleted so I'm posting this here instead. There was a hangon tag, you should've waited for my reply especially since I'm not the only user who questioned the copyright infrigiment as you can see from the history pages of all three articles I forked. That said I have no hard feelings, you were simply doind what you thought was right. RIP-Acer 21:24, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. I was just about to put a copy of this note on your talk page (you might also be interested in the discussion there and this AfD if you haven't seen it already). Yeah, I too checked their copyright policy and I'm afraid we'll have to wait until they've decided on their license. November 15 is only a week away. With luck, they'll choose one of the compatible licenses and the projects can cooperate.
They were very well written articles, and I'm sorry to have to delete them. I'm holding my fingers crossed that you can recreate them next week. henriktalk 21:35, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Couldn't agree more, fingers crossed here too :D RIP-Acer 22:03, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

OhanaUnited's RfA

No one expects a Pigman admin!

Wallowing in my RfA: This time it's personal...
My sincere thanks for your support in my request for adminship, which ended with 51 supports, 0 opposes, and 0 neutral. Doubtless it was an error to put one of the government-bred race of pigmen in any position of authority, but I hope your confidence in me proves justified. Even a man pure of heart and who says his prayers at night can become a were-boar when the moon is full and sweet. Fortunately, I'm neither a were-pig nor pure of heart so this doesn't appear to be an imminent danger to Wikipedia for the moment. Fortunate as well because were-pig hooves are hell on keyboards and none too dexterous with computer mice. If ever I should offend, act uncivil, misstep, overstep, annoy, violate policy, or attempt to topple the fascist leadership of Wikipedia, please let me know so I can improve my behaviour and/or my aim. I am not an animal; I am an admin. And, of course, if there is any way in which I can help you on Wikipedia, please do not hesitate to ask me. Despite my japes, I am indeed dedicated to protecting and serving Wikipedia to the best of my foppish and impudent abilities. I will strive to be an admirable admin, shiny and cool, reasonable and beatific. Pigmanwhat?/trail 05:34, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Post Scriptum: I believe my collaged graphic at left, which incorporates the WP globe and mop image, falls under the rubric of parody for my purposes here. Or is it satire? Regardless, it's a legitimate and legally protected First Amendment usage under US law. Complaints and allegations that this is an improper "fair use" image will be entertained on my talk page, probably with fruit juice, finger food and exotic coffees.

thanks

You be me to it. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 18:24, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Regarding CSD decline of J. B. Eckl

FYI, the user that created that article (User:Jbeckl) has plastered that same text up in multiple places. The fact that they did that and that the username matched the name of the article/subject was why I chose to mark the articles as spam. Should I have handled this differently? Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 22:02, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I didn't think the spam criteria applied (I wouldn't call the text "Blatant advertising"). COI editing isn't a speedy criteria either, but I'm tempted to put a prod on the article or take it to AfD since notability seems uncertain. (He's not obviously non-notable either, having cooperated with som big names, otherwise I would have just done an A7 delete) henriktalk 22:15, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
You're probably right. I'm about to call it a night, so if it hasn't been PROD'd or AFD'd by tomorrow, I'll probably take another look at it. Thanks for the help! :-) Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 02:27, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
I took a look at the article again, and it looks like it's shaping up. With the exception of being unreferenced, the guy seems like he might have a little bit of notability. If nothing else, he's toured with some of my favorite bands! Anyway, I don't think I'm going to prod or afd it for notability, but if sources aren't added, I might do it because of that. Thanks again! Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 15:26, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Agreed, I won't take it to AFD either. We certainly have a lot of worse articles than that one. :-)
On a side note, Newpages patrol is a difficult task - the task is more to evaluate the potential of the article than the text of it. I try to not do it for too long in one sitting, since I start to just mechanically evaluate articles without really thinking of each one. henriktalk 20:21, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

PRebilovci Page Dispute

The user Riheca claims that I can not write about the massacre against Serbs that took place in 1941, since there is already a page called "Prebilovci Massacre". Firs I would like to state this: there is nothing refered to as the Prebilovci Massacre! I know this since I come from the village of Prebilovci. I don't know hwo even created that page -- mabey someone read about the massacre of Serbs and missunderstood something and gave it a name...? So my suggestion is that we get rid of the Prebilovci Massacre page.

Rijeca, a user from Croation it stands on his own user page, has also deleted a part of Prebilovci page, about what Croats did in 1992; the bodies of those who had been massacred were blown to bits by a bomb. I think it is very clear why he did so. The way I see it, he's just missusing wikipedia and thinks the can take away anything he wantns to.

You know, this isn't the first time some locked the page bacause of Rijeca, and then unlocked it because my argument was right. I wouldn't be suprised if the did something like this again.

But the Serbs who were massacred, were not just from Prebilovci. It took place near Surmanci. In the 80's the Virgin Mary is alledgely said to have appeared to some Cratian teenagers. I wrote abpout that because it is very relevant. Rijeca took away that also.

Now it's up to you to deside.

I belive in wikipedia, that it is a free encyclopedia, and that no one should missuse that in any way what so ever. It's up to people like you to se that that does not happen.

Best wishes! MVH —Preceding unsigned comment added by Justiceinwiki (talkcontribs) 13:32, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello! I would prefer if we could keep the discussion on the talk page of the article to make it easier for everyone to follow the discussion. User:Rjecina has made his or her arguments on the talk page, I suggest you politely discuss why you think the material should be included there, citing reliable sources for your claims. One problem now is that the article doesn't cite references, which is a factor in the contentious editing. Please remember that the goal isn't to prove the other editor wrong, the goal is to reach a compromise both can live with. henriktalk 14:24, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

angående Prebilovci Page

du can prata svenska med mej också. but i don't eant a comprimis. Rijeca is from croatia and just wants to ruin. he doesn't want people to know that vroats did there in prebilovci in 1992! and he doesn't want people to know that virgin mary alledgely appears to some croats in 1980's at the very same palce where they killed serbs in 1941! But if you put a citation, muust it be in english, can it bee in serbiska också? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Justiceinwiki (talkcontribs) 14:54, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Please remember to sign your comments by typing ~~~~ at the end of your comments. Also, please don't accuse other editors of bad faith simply because they're a different nationality - it always pays to be polite and respect others here. Citations can be in any language, but English is strongly preferred due to the simple practicality of more people understanding it. --henriktalk 17:51, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

EN TILL SAK BARA

Read what Rijeca wrote on the Prebilovci discussion page, and you will see what it is all about. Rijeca thinks I am just writing "Serbian propaganda". I just wrote what really took place and about our suffering. Look what Rijeca has turned it into. make the page how it was, with Bosnian Civil war, what Croat forces did in 1992, and that part with Virgin Mary. And then lock it like that articke of the USA. (Rijeca is just gaing to call someone else to change the page.)

Then, if someone wants to add something, he can write about it in the discussion page and then someone with autority can write it in the article. But what I wrote under a different user name, of what Ustashas did in their genocide in 1941, is true, but it is not refered to as the Prebilovci Massacre (http://www.srpska-mreza.com/library/facts/Prebilovci.html.) only rijeca took the source away! It was probably some westerner hwo read about the massacre hwo gave it a name, missunderstood something and wrote it in wikipedia . . . ? There is n source that talks anything about "Prebilovci Massacre", so take the page away. Althouge the ivents did take place. I have more sources on Serbian if you want.

If he thinks what the Ustshas did during the second world war was not a genocide, and thinks noone else but the Serbs think it was a genocide, he can write that in the discussion site as well!

Re:PornoTube

Hi, No problem. I chose to delete it because that whole line of articles (i.e. porn related video sites) are beggining to be deleted. An AFD will almost surely end with delete. If you wish to undelete it feel free. I do appreciate you asking me about my actions before un-doing them. Thanks --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 22:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah!, you should check out CAT:CSD, It gets full with loads of test pages or biographies of non-notable personnel. Takes me at least half an hour each day to get it clear. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 22:52, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

References on the Prebilovci page

Hej Henrik! I will probably be able to put in references in the Prebilovci article very soon, and on English, not Serbian. But, before you unlock and everything is restored, how it's suposed to be, how do I know that Rijeca wont delet again, or call someone to lock the page? What do you think; am I right about that Virgin Mary part, because I myself belive it's very relevant, I also have a reference of it, from a Catholic newspaper in Los Angales -- but Rijeca took away that as well. I have an idea, after I put in some referenses, lock the page as the US article and if someone wants to change something or disagrees, then he can write about it in the duscussion, and a administrator can deside. Med Vänliga Hälsningar. Lycka till! Virgin Mary and Prebilovci by a Catholic newspaper Justiceinwiki

Hello. The whole idea to protect a page is to get the editors talking to each other - not trying to enforce a specific version of the page. I am not a judge that gets to decide what goes into the article. Unfortunately you both seem quite unwilling to have a meaningful discussion - I had hoped a week would be enough to get a dialog started. Please talk to Rijeca about the proposed changes. henriktalk 13:47, 13 November 2007 (UTC)


Look, I've already talked to Rijeca, to sort this mess out. But Rijeca, a user from Croatia, is just anyone - and anyone can dissagree. So he deleted some parts, because there were not enogh references - so he could call them lies. Now I got it - alright? Put this article in now, and if Rijeca deletes anything more, then he can write about it in the discussion page bafore or - not sabotage. That's what it's for. But the "Prebilovci massacre" page should not matter. Rijeva claims I can't write about the massacre because there a page called "Prebilovci massacre". I've said it before: The Prebilovci page was created first, and what was written on it. And there is nothing, exept for here in Wikipedia, refered to as the Prebilovci Massacre! It is spreading lies - people can't belive there's something called the Prebilovci Massacre. I don't even know - someone read about it in the Prebilovci page and missunderstodd, gave it a name. (3.000 victims of that massacre were not even from Prebilovci). Now I hope this is over.

Hello again. My talk page is not the proper place to put an updated article on, I suggest you put it in a sandbox in your user space for now. And again, I'm not the judge in the content dispute, trying to convince me you are right is pointless - all I can do is to help you resolve the conflict. One request for clarification though, so I don't misunderstand: You don't dispute that a massacre took place in or near Prebilovci, but you object to it being referred to as "Prebilovci massacre"? Please answer briefly. henriktalk 19:37, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
That's right Henrik. The massacre did take place, and everything I wrote on your page now; I have references now so Rijeca shouldn't be able to delet -- shouldn't, but can. And there is nothing called "Prebilovci massacre", outside Wikipedia. That's the problem for me partley - and that Rijeca is deleting other facts as well that I have references for.Justiceinwiki

My Rfa

Thanks! Deleting the Main Page and blocking Jimbo are next on my list of things to do, right after blanking out all the featured articles, completely rewriting John Seigenthaler's article to show how he was responsible for for the Kennedy assassination, creating an article to promote my garage band (tentatively called "POV"--I think it has a nice ring to it, don't you?), and of course, defacing your User Page. (Wink, wink!) :-) Nightscream 03:56, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

To sort this mess out!

Hej igen! If you look at the discussion page at the Prebilovci article you will see that I have contributed a lot to sorting this mess out. But Rijeca still talks of some other things, like, for instince, "Serbs regard themselves like victims thoroughout history". (I certenley do not do that, and non of my reletives för that matter). I don't understand why he is bringing this up in the Prebilovci article since nothing talks about it in there. Then he ceeps talking of how I want to paint a picture of "poor" Serbs hwo were victims of a genocide (I will make it into persecution insteed since Rijce doesn't think it was a genocide -- some might just dissagrea bur they mustn't sabotage the whole page, they can write about it in the discussion page, that's what it is for). Any way, just read the discussion page. Bästa Hälsningar! PS: Also, I have cernetley not been acusing anyone of anyting (just defended what I think is right here in wikipedia), and, most franklet, not uthered anything nationalisic or talked bad of Croats.

ok, what should i do about this? I don't think i was in the wrong for it Ctjf83 18:37, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Dispute Is Over

Why haven't you unlocked the Prebilovci page yet? I thought the dispute is already over: I've got references but can put them in because the page is locked; I will change genocide into persecutions; the Virgin Mary bit is based on an article from a catholic newspaper about Prebilovci and Virgin Mary -- I will put in references for that also; and since there is nothing outside wikipedia and the "Prebilovci massacre" page that talks of that name, the page must be deleted as quicley as possible, that's the obvious thing to do. (The one hwo created the page didn't really know what he was doing, he hasn't even been in the discussion page since this ordile started). --Justiceinwiki

The protection expired a few hours ago, so you should be able to edit the article again. Feel free to remove the protection notice when you do. henriktalk 16:04, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Tack så hemskt mycket. Nu kan du läsa artikels med referenser. Och nu har Rijeca ingen anledning att sabotera.--Justiceinwiki
I still thik the Prebilovci massacre page shpuld be removed. Read more of Justiceinwikis arguments.

Rijeca Again

Rijeca changed the article again, took away that part with Virgin Mary, then he took away persecution and everything that happened in the Bosnian Civil War. I can't do anything more about it, he will just keep on sabotating, and I will just have to put it back again. Do something, please! Talk to him Justiceinwiki (talk) 11:24, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Justiceinwiki

I thought the dispute is already over: I've got references to back every information; I've change genocide into persecutions so Rijeca and everyone else hwo might dissagrea wont sabotage; the Virgin Mary bit is based on an article from a catholic newspaper about Prebilovci and Virgin Mary and I got references and the article itself; and since there is nothing outside wikipedia and the "Prebilovci massacre" page that talks of that name, the page must be deleted as quicley as possible, that's the obvious thing to do. (The one hwo created the page didn't really know what he was doing, he hasn't even been in the discussion page since this hole ordile started - what does that tell you?). And why hasn't Rijeca stoped sabotating? --Justiceinwiki

Sorry

I accept comments that he is not vandal. Next time I will write revert of sockpuppet. Between him and me discussion or compromise is not possible. We are having clear policy about cities names and massacres so this situation is closed (for me).

I am 90 % sure that this is not first edit war between me and "Justiceinwiki" .In my thinking he is user:Votec because there is similar way of editing (100 or more edits in 1 article). Look this [1] . In my thinking he is hate editor and this fact is very hard to defeat. What will be of wikipedia if we give up to hate editors ?? --Rjecina 23:38, 18 November 2007.

Rijeca, I am sick and tired of this. Tell me, what is really the problem here? How many times am I going to repeat myself: There is nothing refered as the "Prebilovci massacre", and the fact that the one who created the page has not turned up in the discussion page, say a lot already! And the page is not just about atrocities (as it would matter some how . . . ). Soon, when the Prebilovci website will be transleted into English, I will write more at the present day section. Till then -- stop with whatever you think you are doing. Before, I thougt the problem was that I didn't have enough references, but now it seems it is something else. Might you try to explain why you took away that part of the Bosnian Civil War also? And why do you talk in the Prebilovci discussion page how Serbs think they are some victims? And what's up with that qoute from Vuk Draskovic -- Which has nothin to do with the article! Stop it now! --Justiceinwiki —Preceding comment was added at 11:53, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

3RR question

I deleted unsourced material from Husbands and Knives and this user rvted it 3 times, i gave him the warnings (which he deleted off his talk page) what can be done to people that keep adding unsourced material. Can i be blocked for 3RR for deleting unsourced material? Ctjf83 17:09, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

so based on what you said, am i able to revert unsourced info, and not be violating the 3RR? or should i just relax on it for a while Ctjf83 17:36, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Relax for a while, you would be breaching the 3RR if you revert again. There's no need to rush things, Wikipedia isn't going anywhere. Being calm, patient and willing to discuss things is the recipe for getting ahead in Wikipedia disputes. henriktalk 17:42, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Mike

I got this userid after these edits convinced me that my name was not a good id to use for vandal fighting. I was afraid of real world vandalism as the result of reverting vandalism on Wikipedia. You are the fourth user to unravel my real identity, so it isn't much of a disguise! I did not understand how to change names until to late. Now I use it for sentimental reasons and because of the watchlist. I figured to mention it in my statement somewhere. I've don't remember an RfA where the nom had two ID's. As I only need admin buttons for Dloh, I guess the only thing to do is mention it and the reason

I would be thrilled if you would be my co-nom! Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 23:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

rijeca

Today (Wenedsday) Rijeca has changed back the article two times. Are mine arguments just stupid, or what is is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Justiceinwiki (talkcontribs) 17:16, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I am afraid to answer that question because of wikipedia policy. -- Rjecina 17:41, 21 November 2007
This obviously isn't going anywhere. Rjecina, would you agree to discussing each change individually if Justiceinwiki could break it up into multiple small changes? henriktalk 18:26, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
Dear Henrik. First I would like to say this (just as I have repeated over and over again): there is really no problem concerning the "Prebilovci" page. Rijeca's arguments are based on the fact that there is already a page called the "Prebilovci massacre", right? But, since there is nothing outside Wikipedia - The Free Encyclopedia that talks of that name, I think Wikipedia has been rather slow dealing with this issue. (Why isn't there nothing refered as the Prebilovci massacre? Well the massacre did not take place in Prebilovci and the most part of the Serbs were not from that village, only 650-700 of a couple of thousend were.) You can check up on this -- because the "Prebilovci massacre" page does not have a references or an external link that talk of that name. Also, when the page was created, someone just coopeid the text from this page (which did not even have the name "Prebilovci massacre" (!!!!!!!!!): [2]. Check this out, the earliest edit: [3]. My suggestion is that someone with a little more autorithy will do something rightawy.Justiceinwiki
I am sorry Henrik that you have entered in this crossfire . Justicinwiki can say what he want but only problem is question about 1 page for city and another for massacre. Maybe I am crazy but we are having policy to write on page of town little history, how town is beautifull and what is interesting to see. On page massacre we are writing about mass murder which has happened in this town or near this town. Justiceinwiki argument that killings has not happened in town is simple stupid (he has insisted with last writing to say that). If killings has not happened in town why he want to use all town article to write about killings ???? -- Rjecina 18:21, 21 November 2007
I am writing about the killings, mabey because every women and children lost their lives in the massacre (that has no name, and that cernatley does not mean that some PWO here on Wikipedia has the right to give it a name, and a false which will just misslead the people who read Wikipedia, and have their trust in the administrators who are supposed to ceep Wikipedia going as it should). But if that really is the problem, that most of my aticle is written about the killings, might you then explain why you also took away that part of the Bosnian Civil War, when Prebilovci was destroyed and the villagers were expelled? As I told you before, my article is just a "stub" compared to what I will write when the Prebilolovci internet ([4]) page has been translated into Englist, very sone hopefully.

That nifty rollback button comes in handy sometimes. (Sorry! I know you're probably tired of people badgering you, so I'll stop now). I find those kinds of attacks disturbing. Even if we know not to take them seriously, they still damage the atmosphere and make the project less fun - over a long period of time, they can cause us to lose our best and brightest. henriktalk 10:35, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
LOL Thanks, and it is okay, the funny thing is, at 5'5" and 95lbs, there is not a shred of chance that I took anything at all that was posted to heart, it was just another retaliation for reverting vandalism. No big deal to me. ;) And yes, I suppose that soon I will learn the power of the Mighty Rollback Button, hee hee. (And I don't think you are badgering, it is nice to know that people have confidence.) Thanks again, I do appreciate you keeping an eye out! ArielGold 10:49, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment

My patience with panda has run out by now, though. I'm completely flabbergasted that someone can argue as such length without a shred of logic or previous knowledge of a topic. I'm taking a vacation. If you could throw in a word or to make panda understand what the phrase "as of" means and all that, I'd be very grateful.

Possible sock

I noticed that you left a warning on the talk page of DefianceofTheGood (talk · contribs). I am fairly certain that the user is a sock or meat puppet of NomeKing (talk · contribs) based on the similarity of these edits: [5] [6]. The user has also made several threats to me, and I think he may be associated in some way with Meltdown Comics & Collectibles as the user has tried several times to add this in and flips out when it is removed. And, I wasn't replying to you on the talk page, I was replying to DefianceofTheGood, as he had made a threatening edit summary. -- Scorpion0422 01:33, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Oops! I'm very sorry, I misread that talkpage and thought DefianceofTheGood (talk · contribs) had left that comment, not you. So that comment wasn't at all directed to you. It's 3 AM in my local time zone and it seems to be affecting my reading comprehension. I'll go to bed now. :) Unless he's been blocked by then, I'll follow up the sock case tomorrow. henriktalk 01:45, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
