Thanks for expanding the article. Could you please add what exactly it is what he presented for the BBC? - Mgm|(talk) 13:55, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3rr on quizzing.co.uk

I've blocked you [1] for WP:3RR on the afore-mentioned article. Please discuss this here, if you wish to William M. Connolley 20:14, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

You have blocked me under the 3RR. I dispute it because I was correcting simple vandalism. The user 195.93.21.33 was turning the page into an advert, by seemingly pasting an utterly own POV version to the page. Please look at my contributions, I stand by them all. Jw6aa 20:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Look at the article now. [2] it's a blatant POV violation and is an advert. Legitimate sections have been removed without justification on talk. Jw6aa 20:23, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Hmm, I admit that this [3] appears to be a perfectly valid removal of gumpf. I'll have a closer look. Some advice: people asserting that they are remving vandalism, when all they are doing is having a content war, is very common. Please make sure that extensive reverts are clearly backed up on the talk page. William M. Connolley 20:41, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Closer look: [4], [5], [6], [7] and [8] are just a content war, to me. You'll have to sit out your block. Please remember that you get no free 3RR pass just for being (or believing that you are) *right*. Out-reverting people isn't good. William M. Connolley 20:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
I contend that it is vandalism in question in most of the examples you cite, as it is a reversion of a seemingly pasted POV version of the article. On the other occasion I have tried to fix the final article with a legitimate edit that was made to the POV version. I don't just believe I am right, 195.93.21.33 is removing content without justification or discussion on the talk page. This is vandalism. Jw6aa 21:06, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 86.130.214.85/Quizzing.co.uk

I still get the impression that this is a content dispute, rather than vandalism. Whilst you are clearly doing the right thing by trying to direct the IP to the talk page (and I've tried to do the same on their talk page), you should still be careful not to cross the WP:3RR rule (if they cross the line they can be reported to WP:AN3. That exists to stop pointless continual reverting of an article, even if you are 'right'. If I have time I will try and do some NPOV work on that article... Petros471 20:49, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Could you quickly confirm for me that you're not a business rival of Quizzing.co.uk? The anon keeps claiming this, and I'm not inclined to dig through the talk page to find out whether you have admitted that you are or whether this is just another personal attack. --Sam Blanning(talk) 10:46, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I run a web site (123Quiz.net) that they consider to be a rival. They also consider Davidbod (who created the article) to run a rival web site (ukgameshows.com). My feeling is that this is because they don't want anyone else editing the article. Left alone it becomes a pro-Quizzing Ltd advert. My aim is to keep it neutral. I continually ask what edits I have made are not neutral and consider their problem to be with me personally rather than my editing. Jw6aa 11:06, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:Tom Stephens myspace.png

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Tom Stephens myspace.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. Please go to its page for more information if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. 65.140.99.53 23:48, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't think this qualifies as fair use, and have discputed it. --Aleta (for some reason, I can't log in right now.) 65.140.99.53 23:48, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quizzing

Thanks for your note. Not bothering to discuss it there, as the page will now undoubtedly be deleted at Afd. Can't help people who don't want to be helped. DGG 00:49, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Striking your vote

Hello Jw6aa,

Thank you for your interest in the Wikimedia Board Election. The Election Committee regretfully informs you that your previous vote was received in error and will be struck according to the election rules, described below.

The Election Committee regretfully announces today that we will have to remove approximately 220 votes submitted. These votes were cast by people not entitled to vote. The election rules state that users must have at least 400 edits by June 1 to be eligible to vote.

The voter lists we sent to Software in the Public Interest (our third party election partner) initially were wrong, and one of your account was eventually included to our initial list. There was a bug in the edit counting program and the sent list contained every account with 201 or more edits, instead of 400 or more edits. So large numbers of people were qualified according to the software who shouldn't be. The bug has been fixed and an amended list was sent to SPI already.

Our first (and wrong) list contains 80,458 accounts as qualified. The proper number of qualified voters in the SPI list is now 52,750. As of the morning of July 4 (UTC), there are 2,773 unique voters and 220 people, including you, have voted who are not qualified based upon this identified error.

In accordance with voting regulations the Election Committee will strike those approximately 220 votes due to lack of voting eligibility. The list of struck votes is available at https://wikimedia.spi-inc.org/index.php/List_of_struck_votes.

We are aware of the possibility that some of the people affected may have other accounts with more than 400 edits, and hence may still be eligible to vote. We encourage you to consider voting again from another account, if you have one. If you have no other account eligible to vote, we hope you reach the criteria in the next Election, and expect to see your participation to the future Elections.

Your comments, questions or messages to the Committee would be appreciated, you can make them at m:Talk:Board elections/2007/en. Other language versions are available at m:Translation requests/Eleccom mail, 07-05.

Again, we would like to deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
Kizu Naoko

[edit] #### Oscars

Instead of creating more #### Oscars disambig pages, please create them as redirects to the appropriate #### Academy Awards pages. I have already disambig the later through all the appropriate years. We don't need duplicate disambigs when redirects will do the same thing. Let me know if that doesn't make sense. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 02:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I should have gotten all the #### Academy Awards ones, but it would be good if you could double check me. The early years didn't follow the same pattern (there were actually two ceremonies in 1930, I was surprised to learn). I'm hoping I didn't make any mistakes, but it's always possible. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 02:55, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thumper

Hi. If you're reinstating (or just adding) entries on disambiguation(=dab) pages, like you did with Thumper, could you make sure that the linked article at least mentions the dabbed word/phrase? This would make it much easier for the cleanup editors from MOS:DAB to keep dab pages clean, not to mention to not accidently delete entries that have a right to be included. I.e. you seem to have knowledge about Jeremy Paxman but I have never heard of him. If he is really (widely) known as Thumper, you should make this claim in his article, not the dab page. Thanks. :-) – sgeureka t•c 19:44, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I reverted because it is OR; no reference to this nickname from a 'hard copy' publication is on the web. A handful of references on personal websites do not count for Wikipedia. Philip Cross 20:40, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
I removed the reference to a bulletin board after I found the site you have linked to. Philip Cross 20:57, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
