List of LNG terminals‎ (rmv non article entries per the purpose of lists and WP:NOT)

Could you point me to this policy? Thanks. ~ WikiDon (talk) 20:57, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello WikiDon. Wikipedia:Lists#Purposes_of_lists, primarily "Information" and "Navigation" are the main concerns. While the English encyclopedia has 2,404,870 articles, this process deticating pages with "development" (redlinks) is no longer important. Wikipedia is optimized for readers over editors, unreferenced empty redlinks are unhelpful to readers and do not add content or meaning to the encyclopedia. Collections of internal links (WP:NOT "except") those related to LNG terminals with articles, do assist with article organisation and navigation. Links in a list should be active (blue, not red). there is a Wikipedia:WikiProject Lists, however I'm not to sure how active it is. Also, perhaps of interest is Wikipedia:WikiProject Red Link Recovery. Cheers--Hu12 (talk) 00:04, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Well, you took the list from 12,968 bytes to 4,124 bytes, from a fairly comprehensive list, to an incomplete shell with greatly diminished value. You broke the spirit of it, might as well delete the entire thing.
"...unreferenced empty redlinks are unhelpful..." You removed some that were referenced. Some that I spent a good deal of time researching and referencing.
Why not just de-Wikilinki them (remove the brackets) instead?
The list did provide information (it was fairly good at that) and "some lists are useful for Wikipedia development purposes." I thought just removing the dead-red brackets would be better instead of gutting it. I had hoped that by me cleaning it up and formatting it, and adding some, it would encourage others to do so also.
Now, I know that there have been some crappy additions from IPs, but, I feel that this will now be even worse, because they'll add back what you stripped out one crappy addition at a time, in all manner of different formatting. Which someone, like mean will have to cleanup, again.
I had planned on trying to fill in some of the terminals with their own article, but I think that there should be a complete (as much as possible) list. LNG is very important right now to global energy. And, will become increasingly so. ~ WikiDon (talk) 06:45, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Working ~ WikiDon (talk) 15:15, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps you should make a to-do on the articles talk page (which is provided for development and others can assist) of the "red-links" you feel have potential as articles. Once the articles have been written, then add that content (blue, not red) to the article space.--Hu12 (talk) 17:04, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Another new NCAA spam link

Hey man, I'm sorry to keep bothering you with this, but since you're already familiar with the situation I thought it might be easier to just come to you. This dude just does not give up, he has added yet another link to the NCAA Football 09 article as seen with this diff. This time it is ncaa2009rosters.com. Can we get it blacklisted? Again, I'm sorry to bug you about this again. I know he is an IP, but is there perhaps a way we can give him a block for continued disregard of Wikipedia policies on spamming and ELs?►Chris NelsonHolla! 03:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Please check User:Zentrader. It looks to me like a bunch of spam. Smallbones (talk) 12:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Yup. good catch. Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#Trader_spamming --Hu12 (talk) 13:00, 2 June 2008 (UTC)


Could you please enlight me?

AFAIK this user never inserted "Spam". What´s then your rationale for this warning you placed at his/her talk page? [1]

Obviously I am missing something. Comment, please. Thank you. Randroide (talk) 14:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Of the users 81 article space contributions, 29 involve adding or reinserting the link debunkingprimaltherapy.com ([2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]) and is considered WP:Spam. --Hu12 (talk) 15:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you very much for the exaustive nature of your response.
Nevertheless, at wp:spam I read: "Articles considered advertisements include those that are solicitations for a business, product or service, or are public relations pieces designed to promote a company or individual"
I see no "advertisements" at the disputed website, no "individual promotion" there and no service nor product is sold there. Could you please be more specific about what supports your accusation (and warning notice) of "spam" in that user´s talk page?. Randroide (talk) 15:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Spamming is repeatedly adding links en mass (ie External link spamming).--Hu12 (talk) 15:44, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
I can not find that definition you gently provided of "spam" at WP:SPAM. Could you please tell me (roughly) where can I read that definition?. Excuse me for the fastidiousness of my requests, but I think that a warning note at a user page is a serious issue, and must be supported by rock hard evidence. Evidence I have not seen yet in this case. Thank you. Randroide (talk) 15:51, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Thomas Sampson

Restoring the low-quality edits at Thomas Sampson isn't in the encyclopedia's interests, is it? We don't need the material. It increases the chance that the article will get speedied again. And, as it was a reversal of previous admin action, you are suppoed to consult about it first.

I sent you an email a while ago. I don't seem to have had an answer. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Articles history wouldn't seem to be controversial, considering A) its currently a stable version, b) The disruption is comming from a single user and c) oversiting out the users contibs does not lend to transparancy, especialy since I've blocked the user for said disruption. Doubt the current stable version is at any risk of being speedied. However, feel free to make adjustments as you see fit. Cheers--Hu12 (talk) 11:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Someone you know?

Guess you know this one ..

Herbythyme ran also into it, via another route .. -> this route

That led to:

Four random links:

With a pattern:

(Yes, I did not use that function before in COIBot)

Herby also pointed me here and here.

Guess it is time to start cross-linking the whole stuff ... there are a lot of socks and IPs busy with cross wiki spamming here. --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:33, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

1.Fm

I'm tring to understand why 1.Fm is getting deleted while other online radio stations are not. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Di.Fm which does extactly what we do yet hasn't be removed. My goal is not the get ont the soapbox and blast 1.Fm everywhere but provide some history about us. We get tons of people tring to do what we do and think it important to share. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clubtech (talk • contribs) 21:48, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

whitelist and blacklist

Cool! Thank you for the explanation :) I have archived the convo on the talk page so that it's visible on its current state and it doesn't get lost on the noise. However, I think that people is talking about adding the link also on the external links section, independently of the infobox already having one. --Enric Naval (talk) 04:26, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

User:Calfire

Hi,

When you marked up those sockpuppets I discovered that I still had that page and User:WebRidesTV on my watchlist. I don't know about the others, but their probably alright. However, I should point out that Calfire was not created in breach of policy but in accordance to it, since it was openly created after a {{UsernameBlocked}} was applied to the other account, as was reccomended to him. Therefore it is not really covered by 'sockpuppet' status IMHO. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 06:27, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Deletion review for Comparison of one-click hosters

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Comparison of one-click hosters. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Tikiwont (talk) 13:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Truly, I am very sorry. I appreciate your hard work. As A.B. requested, I deleted those links. Thanks again! Ecoleetage (talk) 16:21, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Although I don't question your good faith, I wonder why you made these deletions? Ward3001 (talk) 16:15, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Special:Contributions/Richtig27 see his talkpage. If those are useful, please feel free to add the relevent links back yourself, they were origionaly added from an obvious promotional account. Thanks--Hu12 (talk) 16:27, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
OK, thanks. Ward3001 (talk) 16:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Skater girl page moves

True.com redirect

Hi, I noticed you deleted the True.com redirect for True (dating service), citing WP:CSD#R3. I don't understand how True.com qualifies for that, considering that True itself doesn't seem to know what it wants to call itself (True's website seems to alternate between True and True.com). I was going to restore the redirect, but I thought I would ask first if I'm missing something. Thanks. Purifiedwater (talk) 20:08, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Ive restored the redirect.--Hu12 (talk) 20:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

The seed of spam?

Sorry to bother, again, but is this the beginning of what could be a spammer:Webstreetnet? After today's misadventure, I want to make an effort to help fight spam here. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 20:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Yup (webstreetnet.com), the account has been {{usernameblock}}. thanks--Hu12 (talk) 20:14, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Oh, thank goodness -- I did something right today! Thanks, again! Ecoleetage (talk) 20:16, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
You've done alot of good stuff, one misstep shoulden't overshadow that. I've closed the other discussion so we all can get back to building the encyclopedia. Cheers.--Hu12 (talk) 20:40, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
