wikipedians

I know that there are more wikipedians but,how do I find them?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Usaman2 (talk • contribs)

  • Well simply keeping track of those who edit major articles or articles you like is one way. Another way is to look through Category:Wikipedians in order to browse through Wikipedia users by categories. Hope this helps.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 23:16, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Dork 'Stereotype'...

I didn't 'add' any nonsense to the 'dork' article, I removed the inaccurate stereotype description. The stereotype there is describing a nerd. Look at the 'nerd' article and look at the pictures on there, which clearly fit the description listed on the 'dork' page.

'Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism.'

The stereotype description is inaccurate, that is why I removed it. I would say that there isn't a visual stereotype for a dork, that it is more in the way the person acts.

Thanks, ThePotsy 01:05, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to undermine you PPG, I removed that template in the spirit of not biting the new users and WP:VANDAL#What_vandalism_is_not|what vandalism is not. This is a common error when fighting vandalism and I have made the same mistake myself. If you disagree I am ready to listen. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 01:17, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry I misread the content from a previous copy on Dork. It was a mistake during RC Patrol.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 01:17, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I see, an honest mistake, no problem. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 01:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Whoops!

I guess we both reverted the Gaara page at the same time, sorry about that. Alexforcefive 02:44, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar! I'll move it to my user page. -- Rick Block (talk) 04:27, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Your welcome Rick! Its really a shame to not notice those who contribute well to the Help Desk. It is one of the necessary pages of Wikipedia to help new users get up on their feet :).¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 04:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

User:Andrew Winston

Persian Poet Gal, Is it a form of vandalism to edit your own page? I have been editing mine and User:Warthog Demon has warned me twice about it. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Can you help me?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew Winston (talk • contribs)

  • Warthog is not an admin, only admins can issue blocks, users however can leave warnings that alerts suspected vandalizers of their rule breaking. Here is what you can do to help: try to sign in while editing your user page. Also, you may want to drop a note on Warthog's talk page that you have edited your page with an anonymous IP frequently. I'm sure Warthog will understand, as I did. One last thing, don't forget to sign your comments with four tildes at the end (~~~~) to properly sign and date your entries.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 06:04, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Persian Poet Gal, Thank you for helping me. I appreciate it, I would like to know how you became a vandalism patroller, i am thinking of trying to become one. PS: I don't know where Warthog's talk page is. Thanks, User:Andrew WinstonAndrew Winston 07:13, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Here's WarthogDemon's talk page: User talk:WarthogDemon. As far as vandal patrolling, you can read the steps I've listed in my "How-To Guide to Wikipedia." It gives some helpful hints which may be able to answer some of your questions about it.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 00:06, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Persian Poet Gal, I have now contacted warthog demon. Thank you for the address. If he does not understand my situation, would it be possible for you to try to contact him?

Thanks, User:Andrew Winston Andrew Winston 06:06, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Your page looks great! However, in the context that it's in, shouldn't Iranian link to Iranian peoples? --Gray PorpoiseYour wish is my command! 21:35, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. This user was blocked indefinitely yesterday, User:The hobgoblin, and then unleashed some nasty socks, all began at bTalk:Mulatto, and has resurfaced as User:PinkDragon, SqueakBox 00:55, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

  • No problem SqueakBox, just wanted to make all those socks did not keep aiming to vandalize your page or cause anymore nonsense.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 14:21, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I was not meant to do the vandalism that I did. Can you revert my warning? 86.20.53.195 17:36, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Your edits look highly questionable, I doubt that misuse of the block tag twice is not considered some form of vandalism. Plus you signed under an imposter signature both times when you issued the warnings.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 17:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I saw

And Administrator 1 2 4 6 or whatever. Im ASF with that last one. Hes with AOL so hard to stop  Glen  20:50, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

  • AOL? Darn that is a tough one to block. Good luck to you on nabbing this sockpuppet vandal.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 21:06, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Sockpuppet questions

Hi, I've seen you around a lot, and today I noticed that you tagged User:HAPPINESS 1 2 3 6 as a suspected sockpuppet. It seems you're experience in this area, so I'm hoping you might have some advice:

The article Bryan Brandenburg has been nom'd for AfD at Brandenburg AfD. Due to disruptive edits on these pages, I suspect that Stanlys212 (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) is a mask for either Bryan B himself, or one of his "disciples". The contrib history is brief, and the disruptive edits fairly obvious.
Similarly, WatchedHim (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) and Smurf noodle (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) have been named as suspected sockpuppets by other involved editors; their Contribs are even briefer.
The edits they have all made, and the sophistication about WP practices and policies that they show make it fairly obvious that these are not newcomers by any means.
At the AfD, I added a tag under Stanlys212's comment, indicating that he had made few or no other contribs (zero actually) prior to this discussion. In retaliation, he has added nonsense posts regarding the nominator (who is somewhat new, but a very conscientous good-faith editor). Heh! And I just got a new bit of rubbish from him on my talkpage, while I was typing this to you. This situation seems to be an abuse of the AfD process and any number of policies. Can you advise me on how best to proceed? Thanks in advance for your time! Doc Tropics 21:39, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • I think the best way to report this is on the WP:AIV page or to an administrator since it is more than one issue that it concerns. Most likely they can sort through the matter, since its more complicated than sockpuppetry.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 21:42, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
You mean you're not an admin?!? Huh, I just assumed...
Thanks for the advice, I'll see what I can do. Doc Tropics 21:49, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Lol, no I am no admin, I just try to help Wikipedia clean and free of vandalism.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 21:50, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Added this to his talk page: Also one last thing, if you ever feel high suspicions of sockpuppetry you can tag their page with this template: {{sockpuppet|name of user that is using the account as a sockpuppet}}. If you ever need to make a case file regarding the sockpuppetry get back to me on that and I'll walk you through it, but first check with admin on this. Hope this helps.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 21:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Re:Just a Hello...

Thanks for the message. Hello to you, too! Your userpage looks great. I think you would make a great admin. --Gray PorpoiseYour wish is my command! 22:04, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

  • I do not know if I could make a great admin but I extremely appreciate the compliment thanks :).¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 22:06, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Heh, I'm tried to make at least one or two more articles of mine more sizable than stub quality. Unfortunately I'm still mostly a stub-work creator. As far as my images however, I greatly appreciate the compliment ^_^. It took hours to make 'em myself in photoshop especially when I do not own a computer graphic pen or stylus :P...I had to erase practically millions of times...¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 22:33, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Plus, out of about 41 articles I've created, only about 2 have expanded beyond stubs, and those grew with the help of other editors. I consider you very talented, both for editing and poetry! --Gray PorpoiseYour wish is my command! 22:55, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • You give me too much credit. I'm wearing a permenant smile today thanks to you :).¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 23:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

  • I'm not the one to accuse but it is definitely a personal attack. I reported it to Khoikhoi directly.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 03:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Heh, thanks. I'm not sure why he thinks my username is racist. BTW, did you notice that you were listed as a sockpuppet of Khosrow II? Khoikhoi 06:22, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Heh indeed, I had no idea such a report was submitted. People with vendettas will do anything sheesh :P. Anyways, I absolutely believe in the value Wikipedia's policy about no personal attacks, his accusations about you were totally unfounded.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 02:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Yeah, I guess so. Besides, all he had to do is talk to me about it. Anyways, see ya later sockpuppet. Khoikhoi 02:19, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Can I host a sockpuppet theater now :P?! Thanks for the laughs, I took my 2nd SAT today and after a grueling 4-5 hours of testing I sure need a good laugh!¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 02:23, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

(from Lantoka)

I must say, Persian Poet Gal, having your talk page on my Watchlist is quite the experience. I have never seen so many inane comments by trolls in once place in my life. Reading these comments is like sticking my brains into an industrial meat grinder; when it all comes out, I only end up dumber.
Guess that means you're doing a good job of vandal fighting though. My congratulations, and my sympathies for the abuse your talk page takes. Let me know how those 'SC applications go! =) —Lantoka ( talk | contrib) 02:42, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Thanks I appreciate the sympathy :P. As far as SC I definitely will let you know on the results, at the moment I'm trying to finalize everything before December 10th so I do not miss their freshman scholarship deadline.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 03:17, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I haven't been blocked. So..Im assuming I can use this name?Hi,MyNameIsMikeAndILiveAt6525MarkLutherHwyInWaukegan 04:00, 3 December 2006 (UTC) Just to be safe, I'll wait.

  • Sure, I left the message because names as long or as confusing as yours are usually blocked due to violation of the username rules.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 04:02, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
So far, no block. (Since I can edit your page). However maybe I should wait 3-5 weeks before contributing, just in case.Hi,MyNameIsMikeAndILiveAt6525MarkLutherHwyInWaukegan 04:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Feel free to continue contributing however I would suggest that you consider changing it to avoid a potential block from an administrator.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 04:09, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

-- The username was later blocked.

There, changed it.

As you can see, I have a sense of humor.Hi,MyNameIsMikeAndI'mNotTellingYouMyAddress 04:13, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

  • I have to admit that did make me laugh but take a look at that rule page I provided you :P. The name is still exceedingly long and confusing.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 04:15, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism Templates

Apologetic

Well, I suppose you can't be faulted for excessive civility. I just thought you might leave the incorrect impression that we were somehow ashamed of having that as the front page article's subject. In reality, the history of eroticism is immensely interesting to the fields of archaeology, anthropology, and sociology. It's a far more meritous topic for the front page than some band or game species. (I'm no anti-pop culture editor either, as you probably noticed in my contributions.)

Thanks for the barnstar by the way. Not sure I deserve it, but if you say so. :) --tjstrf talk 08:34, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks for understanding the cause for excessive civility in that situation :P. Anyways, you absolutely deserved the barnstar :).¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 23:10, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Personal Attack?

I left my message for Jimbo Wale, not you. Please don't erase my comments on Jimbo Wale's talk page. I didn't attack User:Khoikhoi in any way. All S/he needs to do is to explain why s/he choose Khoikhoi as his/her user name. You can see from the Khoikhoi article that his/her user name definitely has a racism concern. Even if S/he is a Khoikhoi, his/her user name is still inappropriate. NKH 17:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[if I could butt in] But the word isn't even deragatory. By that reasoning, no one can have any mention of race in their username. Which means, that, oh, say, Persian Poet Gal is out of line for her username. -Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 17:40, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

NKH, it still is considered unfounded to view the intention as racist. In my opinion I do not consider the name as offensive and I myself have a username which mentions ethnicity. Why not ask the question about Khoikhoi's name to Khoikhoi directly rather than leaving a message on Jimbo's talk page?¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 23:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in as well but I dont see anything wrong with your user name Persian Poet Gal. I think its really unique =) MetsFan76 23:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC) (Sorry..forgot to sign)
  • No problem, I appreciate the comment. I'm simply explaining that Wikipedia policy does not ban use of ethnicity in usernames but does ban use of usernames which contain cultural religious figures or racial slurs.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 23:19, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Yeah...that's pretty much what I thought. MetsFan76 23:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey Persian Poet Gal. Thanks for your reply to NKH, I was somewhat impressed. I also left a message on his talk page. I don't mind being called a racist—it's not as bad as being a suspected agent of Greek National Intelligence Service and schizophrenic web vandal unacceptible to wikipedian community. ;-) Khoikhoi 04:04, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Yep. Khoikhoi 11:15, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
Because it's ridiculous that you don't have one already. NinaEliza 07:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Dang it, edit conflict. I've had you on my watchlist since you reverted a piece of vandalism on Jimbo Wales talk page. I notice that you do a lot of vandal reversion, perhaps to the detriment of editing things you might like to.

The only reason I've never awarded you a barnstar before is simply because I didn't know I could. I've also been involved in some very unfortunate situations that have made more wary than I would be otherwise.

I want you to know that I've always enjoyed your comments, your humor, and your user page. I also like your cat:). In any event, thank you.NinaEliza 07:23, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello! I've been exercising my new admin abilities (thanks for commenting on my RfA, by the way) and I usernameblocked the person you reported.

Incorrect vandalism warning

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Loma_Linda_University_Medical_Center&diff=92395821&oldid=92394809 This] revert should not have been labelled as vandalism, and the editor should not have been labelled as a vandal or "warned" for it. Although the statement was incorrect, there was no direct evidence that it was done in bad faith. Ansell 06:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Sorry, on recent changes patrol there are revert edits which can be incorrect or marked incorrectly. It was so drastically out of place that it came across as vandalism. Again my apologies if it was merely an incorrect edit.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 06:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Admittedly that edit does not look okay, however, using evidence from March, when the IP could reasonably be said to be a shared ip [3], is a little misleading. It looks like, and I am going to tag it as a shared IP educational institution editor per the IP address. Ansell 07:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

omedia's links

Persian Poet Gal hello,

Please reconsider excluding my links from wiki. They r indeed to a specific site but that site has articles which wikipedia's readers can find helpful & learn a lot from. Please notice that Omedia is an academic and not a commercial site – it sells nothing and doesn't even have ads in it. Please reconsider. yuval —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yuval a (talk • contribs) 13:19, 7 December 2006 (UTC).

  • Hello Yuval a, the link still does not seem appropriate enough to add to the article. I appreciate you asking to reconsider respectfully but according to this edit of Lebanon administrator Nlu had reverted your addition of an omedia link. The omedia link may not meet the requirements of WP:External Links. That's the only reason why one might consider it spam to add it to articles. If you still feel that the link is appropriate, leave a message on the article talk page appealing to its editors. They have more say in reality than I do considering that the editors of the article contribute to it more largely than any recent changes patroller does. Hope this helps you.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 14:29, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

George W. Bush

The following entry refers to this diff which I reverted of Psdubow's. Psdubow later left a message which explained that the random spamming of the ###### symbols in replacement of words was due to a server error.

Dear Ms. Persian Poet Gal,

The "Fun" Facts I added to the George W. Bush page is not "vandalism" as you said it was.

Bush's approval rating and the War in Iraq approval rating are entirely factual and up-to-date.

Also, the "fun" fact about when someone Googles the words "Failure" or "Worst President" one of the first things that shows up under search results is Pres. Bush's biography is entirely true.

If tried multiple times from my computer and other computers. Every time I tried typing either on of those phrases it listed Pres. Bush's biography within the first ten results.

If you wish to reply, please put your reply on my talk page.

Thanks!

Sincerely,

Psdubow

  • If you noticed Psdubow the vandalism in question was the spamming of "##########" under the intelligent design entry. Also the facts in which you listed may already be included in the article, may sound POVish (see WP:NPOV), or come off as original research.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 21:37, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I can't for the life of me figure out this user's edits. At first I thought he was a vandal, reconsidered, and am back to wondering. That's the third time he's made that same edit to George W. Bush. [4] [5] [6]. His edits also seem to blank content from other pages: [7] [8] [9]. I'm starting to wonder if he has one of those programs on his computer that parents install to block questionable content. Those last three links block out XXX, fetish, and bondage, respectively. I don't think it is intentional blanking...thoughts? AuburnPilottalk 21:40, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Hmmmm, I'm starting to wonder myself. However the facts he listed were probably already listed or POVish. Then again, I do not want to jump to conclusions, Psdubow, care to comment? ¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 21:43, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Looking at his most recent edit, the word "hard" appears to have been blanked out. [10] I think he must have a content blocker installed. I'm not really sure there's anything we can do to avoid this problem, though. AuburnPilottalk 21:48, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
  • I think you got something there Auburn. I left a message asking if he could check back on my talk page but it seems he's still away.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 21:51, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I tried to revert it and my computer is now screwing with me...sorry about that. AuburnPilottalk 21:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
  • No problem, but this is starting to look more and more like vandalism, unless a content blocker could be buggy enough to do that.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 21:59, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Edits

Dear Administrators,

It is a server error.

I even asked a more computer savy user and friend to help me and explain to me what is happening to me when I am trying to edit.

It has already happen to me on the Pres. Bush page, the Dr. James McCune Smith page, and others. It has also happened to other users too.

I am trying to edit stuff, but it keeps on doing this ("######") on some words. They are not offensive words! For instance, some of the words were hard, freedom, security, etc.

I am not trying to do anything wrong and I would be happy to help try and revert this server error and to fix the pages accidentally damaged by myself and others.

Sorry for any trouble I am causing you guys!

Thanks!


Sincerely,

Psdubow

  • Well alright, I will assume good faith and not scrutinize you for a server error. I am not an administrator, I voluntarily patrol recent changes. Please however consider testing in the sandbox for awhile before you continue to edit articles just in case.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 22:06, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


Thank you for giving me the benefit-of-the-doubt.

By the way, do you guys know what's causing this server error?

No offence, but I don't really need to use the "sandbox". I, for the most part, already know how to edit.

To prove it, please check out the work my friend and I did on the Dr. James McCune Smith page.

I want to be productive and add stuff to help improve important articles and articles I'm interested in.

Thanks!

Psdubow


  • I'm not mentioning the sandbox to learn how to edit, I'm saying to test in there if the error is persisting. Unfortunately I am unaware what may be causing the error but I wish the best of luck to you, and hope that the problem corrects itself or you find someone who knows how to fix it.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 22:19, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Seven wonders

Just wanted to say that I think you did a nice job on the USA Today/Good Morning America list of "seven wonders of the world" that you added to the Seven Wonders of the World article.

I believe that you were thinking of my evil twin, User:Gracenotes ON WHEELS!!!. I apologize for any confusion of yours between him and me, and would encourage you to look out for him in the near future.

My edit was just intended to make the paragraph more in the style of ze famous Swedish Chef, with the added unapproachability of the German language.

Hello, You said, Wikipedia is not a repository of links, I'm VERY AGREE, I saw your entries and these links arent very strong, but dont worry, only TWO editors (you and another one) said that the website is not relevant (TWO editors in Thousands).

  • Sure no problem, but understand that the reason why this may also be not included is because the addition of this link is as if the article promotes that website. Wikipedia is not made up of advert links which do not add on relevantly to the article. For example, the Food article on Wikipedia includes a few links to websites which are notable and relevant to the article. Notice however that it does not include other popular websites like Epicurious.com whose Alexa rank is way higher than Dogup.com's Alexa rank. Hope this helps.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 03:08, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello! :) Look at Dog Food, there are link http://www.aplus-flint-river-ranch.com/faqs-pet-food-nutrition.php, Dog up alexa rank is better than aplus-flint-river.... and the domain looks like spammy, right? If you see at Dog Up, this have free information, about dog breeds, dog names, dog photos, dog supplies, is more relevant, this is my opinion maybe no for you, if you browse Dog up, your learn about dogs, learn about dog names, etc. I think you should approve Dog up, this is my opinion, there are many link in Wiki (I have used Wiki for year, also I have donated money, etc) with Alexa 1500000 or more.

The Argentina Bit

Not a problem! Yes, a stunning vocabulary indeed. Also nabbed a bit of vandalism he/she performed on what I surmise to be his/her school yesterday (seeing as the person's edit log reveals edits to that school's page dating back over one year). Anyway, you're perfectly welcome :). Ginsengbomb 19:38, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome

...but of course! It's nice of you to have put such a pleasant spot on Wikipedia. Thanks for the star.  :) Antandrus (talk) 20:28, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Heh that's sweet, thanks again and your welcome for the barnstar...¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 20:30, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Quickly

I'd just like to say that what I posted on the talk page was not very personal at all, but it was fact. People are completely ignorant and biased when it comes to subcultures and I was just pointing out that they were completely wrong and ignorant. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Die Interviewer (talk • contribs) 00:14, 15 December 2006 (UTC).

  • Yes but realize that an article talk page is for discussing changes to an article. Also if you noticed I removed the other topics which were posted inappropriately that were direct attacks on the subject of the article, so it was not only in regards to yourself.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 00:17, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

For reverting vandalism to my user page. I appreciate it. --Guinnog 00:19, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

  • No problem, I just do not see how "text" will supposedly whip you around all over Scotland :P....¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 00:21, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I wondered at that myself. Also, I am around 8000 miles from Scotland at the moment. Ah well. --Guinnog 00:27, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Fast editing, thanks for that. + Ceoil 00:26, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

  • I do not like being the trigger happy type but in the case of protecting a user page from vandalism you can never be too swift to revert it :P...¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 00:30, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Ecotec Vandalism

Hey, just saw your message. Sorry about that, I haven't done much wiki editing so I didn't realize the user page and the user talk page were separate. Thanks for the clarification. Promit 01:18, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi I noticed that you rejected my Iraq submission - I actually agree with your comments. However I do think there is value in my general idea. How about a compilation page with all the alternative strategies that have ever been suggested, listing all of them and analysing their various merits? Richard Davis Brisbane Australia—Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.228.88.163 (talk • contribs)

  • Thank you for approaching very politely but as I said that kind of information does not merit its own article. If you honestly are interested in adding that information post your request on the Talk:Iraq War page and ask other editors about how they feel adding the edit to the main article.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 01:27, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

  • It was already discussed here and on the talk page of the IP address that was adding it. The link does not meet WP:LINKS requirements and is considered spam to continue adding to the article.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 01:42, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Your FAQ

The FAQ on your userpage is more helpful than anything else I've seen on Wikipedia. Please don't think me too familiar, but you rock.NinaEliza (talk • contribs • count • logs • email) 03:03, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Ne-Yo

Hey! My name's Mickel (guinea_to_the_pig@hotmail.com) Umm, Yeah, I saw you wrote a comment to the person who vandalized the In My Own Words page, and I see that they also made a new album for Ne-Yo. Who is this person? Cause they're stupid Love Mickel :)

P.S: Add me on MSN—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mickel The Vain (talk • contribs)

  • There is no way of really knowing who the vandalizer was but if I remember correctly they did so under an account name rather than an anonymous IP. I'm not one to throw around names but I agree that the act of vandalizing is non-to-smart :P. Unfortunately I'm not one for instant messengers however if you want to contact me you can always drop a message here.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 17:35, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Edits and etc..

This IP address recently made some edits to the Benedict Arnold and Tiger articles, which were renounced as vandalism. I don't know if you can do anything about this, or if I'm even doing this the wrong way, but I just want you to know that this particular IP address belongs to the George West Independent School district, so it's public and any of the students could be editing articles, so you might want to block this IP from editing articles, anyway.

Thanks.

  • I am not an administrator, so I am not the one to come to enact a block. However it is very good that you brought that your IP is a shared one. I will try to help by tagging your IP talk page with the "This is a School IP" tag. That should assist administrators when they are examining suspicious edits by your IP address.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 17:37, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

(from Juliachill13)

Hi - just got your message about deleting the Sandlot Games posting. I tried to follow BigFish Games format to ensure that it wasn't like an advertisement.

Can you tell me what I could remove to get the entry posted?

Thanks, Julia

julia@sandlotgames.com—Preceding unsigned comment added by Juliachill13 (talk • contribs)

  • Hello Julia, that article that you were using as reference itself requires some recalibration and cleanup, I have tagged that article with a cleanup tag after you alerted me to it (also check the talk page which discusses Neutral Point of View concerns: Talk:Big Fish Games. As far as your own article it strikes as blatant advertising because it mainly consists of external links to your companies games rather than sufficient content. Also the wordage strikes as very much as a point-of-view, Wikipedia is a Neutral Point of View encyclopedia, meaning that passages like "Sandlot Games boasts a captivating portfolio..." indicate language that is not neutral enough. Please consider taking out the bulk of the links in the article and write content which describes the company without point-of-view adages. Regards,¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 19:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Willy riding on his rims

LOL, that one is a couple of wheels short of a bicycle. He appears to have stopped trolling for now ... (am I bad if I admit I laugh at these sometimes?) ... :) Antandrus (talk) 22:30, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

  • I wouldn't say you are bad at all! It just opens more opportunities for willy and wheel puns :P. Professionalism has to draw a line somewhere every now and then...¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 22:32, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA

Hello again Persian Poet Gal. As you can see here, I've listed you on my subpage about RfAs. I was wondering if you would be interested in attempting an RfA in the beginning of February 2007, possibly the 1st of Feb. You are such a prodigal user and I see your name all the time, I can't avoid feeling eager for the adminship that you most deserve. :-) Best regards.--Húsönd 22:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Your huge confidence in my abilities truly humbles me Husond. As long as you agree that we give it some time, seeing as Seadog approached me yesterday about the matter, I am receptive to accepting a nomination by February as you have suggested now and in the past. I really thank you for your kindness and regardless of being an administrator, I love Wikipedia with or without a mop :).¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 22:38, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
Hurray! :-) No need to feel humbled, appraisal comes naturally when one's doing a superb job such as yours. Ok, I shall make a preliminary schedule to Feb 1, 2007. It's gonna be great. :-) Regards.--Húsönd 22:46, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for letting me know. I protected one of the pages he had been recreating, and I also blocked the user for 24 hours. =) Nishkid64 23:06, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

External link on Homosexuality

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Homosexuality. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. ¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 00:07, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

    • I just added the link to the About Gay Movies history pages because I thought it would add to the knowledge base on Wikipedia. On the Homosexuality page the history of homosexuality is mentioned and part of it is what's on film. Lordmarchmain 00:15, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Warnings

How do you give a warning to someone who appears to be vandalising a page? I wish to know because I may have a problematic situation.

From Andrew Winston 00:39, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Look on my user page at the section which is marked "How-To" Guide to Wikipedia and scroll down to the "what to do if you see vandalism" question. It gives you all the details you need to know ;) (do not forget to click the link about how to revert, its wikified directly to the page).¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 00:42, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Persian Poet Gal, If in an article people's names are mentioned, does the author need to seek permission if they do not want their names on the page? Andrew Winston 01:09, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Hmmm I don't quite understand your question. If a person mentioned in the article does not want their name included in its content I guess they could request this on the article talk page. Could you elaborate your question more please?¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 01:11, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

What I meant if the person did not want their name on the article and it remains could it be construed as a form of vandalism?Andrew Winston 01:42, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

  • If the name was added as an inappropriate edit anyone can revert the edit or remove the name. As far as a name being included unwantingly in an article it is not considered a vandalism issue but something else entirely. The person would have to go through other measures such as requesting on Talk pages or more seriously from the Wikipedia corporation I guess.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 01:55, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok thanks. I just had a small issue with a page, and I think i'll be able to manage it. If I cannot, I will contact you again.Concerned Dude 02:00, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello once again, Sorry to come back, but I have one more question to ask. If a user uses someone's name and it seems like they are personally attacking them, what can you do? If you can do something, are there any specific people who might be able to help? Andrew Winston 02:13, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

  • You can issue them a personal attack warning, such as: {{subst:npa}} {{subst:npa2}} {{subst:npa3}} {{subst:npa4}}. However in this case, after looking at the user page of the user whom you contacted, I see how it derives some personal attacks on yourself. I strongly recommend in this case that you contact an administrator (admin Can't sleep, clown will eat me is on at the moment) and politely specify how the user is personally attacking you on their userpage. The admin could delete the page if a block is not exactly the best way to handle it.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 02:22, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Do I need to tell you who the person is? Or do you already know? and does user:andrew winston attack anyone?Andrew Winston 02:39, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Andrew I recommend contacting an administrator for they would be able to help you better regarding this issue.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 02:41, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
  • By the way I was refering to the personal attacks they did on you, you didn't do anything don't worry :P...¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 02:42, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Uh, i'm a little confused, I can't see anywhere on clown will eat me's page where i can make a complaint!

Thank you very much. I have spoken to him and am waiting a reply.Andrew Winston 02:51, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
