[edit] The Soviet Story
Hi! What is the problem with my edit of The Soviet Story page? What is not encyclopeadic? 129.173.66.208 (talk) 14:46, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thank you for that. You're quicker than I am. NauticaShades 22:59, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy Deletion
Hi Thingg could you be kind enough to let me know what is wrong with the InLiving page. Everything discussed is factual.
Thanks,

[edit] John Wayne & HarveyCarter SP IPs
1) HarveyCarter (talk · contribs) and all of his sockpuppets are EXPRESSLY banned for life.
- Edits from NetRange: 92.8.0.0 - 92.13.255.255 need to revert and the IP blocked.
- IP4240207xx (talk) 17:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- ummm... what is this for? Do you need help reverting some edits or something? Thingg⊕⊗ 17:14, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- You reverted this with "(needs to be cited (huggle)" in the edit summary. If you see any edits from that IP range, just revert and block without engaging in any conversations with this person. I was just letting you know, and yes, I need help with this person. He has been banned for two years with over a hundred accounts, both user name and IPs. If you check user:HarveyCarter you will see most of his user names. If you check User:IP4240207xx you will see most of his IP addresses. Thanks for your assistance.

- ummm... what is this for? Do you need help reverting some edits or something? Thingg⊕⊗ 17:14, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- I've expressed my opinion on this issue on the article's talk page and to the involved editors. I think a clear head here is useful. --Rodhullandemu 17:23, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Quoted For Truth
WP:NOT#DICTIONARY is explicitly not a speedy deletion criterion. See Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Non-criteria. Instead, do the hard work of transwiki'ing it to Wiktionary, then ask for speedy as transwiki'd. Cheers, WilyD 18:04, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] *chuckle*
well, this is interesting. i know I suggested this to you as a possible route, but I'm too timid to be the first admin to boldly do it. let me know if it works for ya! ;> xenocidic (talk) 18:29, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- So have any like that been G6'd yet???!!!111one11!1 xenocidic (talk) 18:41, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Done. It didn't give me the usual admin warning about 'do you want to delete this target page first' ... did you try doing it yourself? might've been possible. good catch either way. xenocidic (talk) 02:25, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tara Cove
I turned it into a bare-boned stub. There are sources out there, but I don't know it would survive AFD. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 20:38, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Wow am I on a roll today with speedys.... :/ That's like the third I've had declined. :( Oh well. Thanks for letting me know. (Contrary to popular belief, I am capable of learning from my mistakes ;) ) btw, nice message at the top of your talk page. I literally loled when I saw it. :D Thingg⊕⊗ 22:23, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Terry Wogan and the Eurovision
07/08/08
The 2 others acknowledged commentators are indeed the French and Finnish. There was therefore no reason to remove this edition.
Furthermore T. Wogan is purely an Irish-UK icon, indeed unknown from the main public. Please prove me the contrary before censoring my editions.
Finally comments on the Telegraph clearly indicate the split thoughts on TW's desire to quit the Eurovision comments. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2008/05/26/do2603.xml
UKR
- hmm.. I'm not really familiar with this guy, so when you changed that to mean something completely different, I thought you merely vandalizing the article. My apologies. If you have the cite, than by all means change the article to make it accurate. (see this page for info on how to create a citation for Wikipedia) Again, sorry about that. Thingg⊕⊗ 01:24, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
-
- No problem. I should probably have put the citation in the first place.
- I thought it was important to point out that public and media have a quite different opinion.

[edit] incorrect warning
Regarding this edit and this Level 2 warning edits using Huggle, these don't appear to be vandalism. It looks like a new user trying to demonstrate where he derived the article from. --maclean 02:30, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, you were right. It was an error and thanks for letting me know. I saw the word "pimp" and reflexed. (apparently, Cluebot did the same thing. I guess that tells you my intelajince level...) Thingg⊕⊗ 02:36, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
-
- Your response on his talk page is excellent. I was wondering what triggered Cluebot, I guess it was "pimp". --maclean 02:40, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] earwax vs. lipbalm
I think those edits might actually be constructive (except the one that added all the question marks). I didn't believe it at first, but being the responsible admin I am, I did a google search and...there seems to be some credence to the claim. =) xenocidic (talk) 02:45, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- no worries yep maybe just unplug for a bit! =) xenocidic (talk) 03:00, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- Unless there's a decent reference, it's still unworthy of inclusion, and the persistent edits are still vandalism. There some discussion on this at Talk:Earwax#Lip_Balm. Cheers - Gobeirne (talk) 05:09, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] header
Hello Thingg --
Thank you for your interest in my photograph from the Corlea Trackway. I would be pleased to license it so that it may be included in Wikipedia -- I had a lot of trouble FINDING Corlea or any information about it before I went there! If I can help others who are interested, that would be good.
I am not very familiar with the ins and outs of Creative Commons, and my instinct is to use my real name not my flicker account name or Wikipedia name as author.
In anycase, let me know what I need to do next. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Milezero (talk • contribs) 12:48, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Please re-review Roujin Z for DYK
Hello! As per your declining the June 7 DYK nomination for Roujin Z because it fell short of required characters -- I just expanded the text to meet your requirements. Please re-review this listing for DYK consideration. (It is the one with the hospital bed with a built-in atomic power reactor -- you said it was a great hook!). Thanks Ecoleetage (talk) 22:56, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

- Thank you. If you want something nutty for April Fool's tap me next March and I can literally crash your bandwidth with tons of WTF-worthy DYK stuff! Be well. Ecoleetage (talk) 23:06, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
And, PS, as a way of saying "Thanks!" for your help here:
The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar | ||
For your speedy and friendly assistance. Your work is deeply appreciated. Ecoleetage (talk) 23:54, 8 June 2008 (UTC) |
Be well! Ecoleetage (talk) 23:54, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I appreciate your input and support. And now, please excuse me -- it is getting late and I need to get into my non-atomic powered bed! :) Ecoleetage (talk) 02:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Corlea Trackway license
Hello Thingg - I made the change to the "ShareAlike" license, so please feel free to upload if you would like! Let me know if there are any problems. Thanks, Milezero (talk) 03:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] American Society for Cybernetics
I removed the speedy delete nomination. This is a normal article for this kind of subjects, see for example Category:Systems science societies.
I have explained myself on the talkpage. I don't know where you got the idea that this is just for promotion. The subject itselve is already mentioned more then 20 times in Wikipedia and then it is more then normal to write an article about it.
If you think I just copied pasted the article here your are very mistaken. I just spend about two hours collection all these data from different sources. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 15:05, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- Man, I seriously don't know what I was thinking. I guess I wasn't. I'm really sorry about that. Thingg⊕⊗ 15:07, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- Ok it happens. Good luck. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 15:11, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Reason!
Dear Thingg
Whats the problem with the page 'Dr ishrat Ul Ebad Khan' which everything written is factual and has been cited with evidence! What do i need to do in order to let the page stay?
Thanks for your co-operation —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.193.120.215 (talk) 16:52, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. The problem with your edit was it removed content that was written from a neutral point of view and added info that was not cited and was written in a style that promoted the guy the article is about. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia must present both sides of an argument and must consist of content that is neutral and encyclopedic. Thingg⊕⊗ 23:34, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] The Soviet Story article
Hello! I'm currently working on the section "Controversies" of the article The Soviet Story. Could you please read it and write on Discussion page your suggestions/corrections/impression on the quality of this section? I will try to polish the text then. The film considered in the article is very controversal, so I would realy appreciate if you will track the changes in it. If it is out of the scope of your interests, could you please provide me with a link to some other users with administrative rights? Thank you. 129.173.66.208 (talk) 18:00, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- I would recommend you place your request on the talk page for the article directly. An administrator's opinion does not have more weight in editing an article than any other editor's opinion, including yours (and Thingg is not currently an administrator anyway). Frank | talk 18:07, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Deleted Article
Thingg,
I am trying to make changes to the deleted "Titan Worldwide" article, but all posts continue to be deleted. How do I stop this? It is a very similar page to those of other companies in its industry and those pages have not been deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Titan 2 (talk • contribs) 18:43, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- The article was deleted because it was written like an advertisement and Wikipedia articles must be written with a neutral point of view. Please remember, Wikipedia is and encyclopedia and consists of encyclopedic content. An advertisement is never encyclopedic because it is promoting something or someone. Thingg⊕⊗ 23:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] DYK nomination
Hello, Thingg. Hope you remember me. I'v seen you review some articles at Template talk:DYK. I was wondering what you thought about the hook of Pete Smith (baseball). I created it on June 5. What do you think? Oh, and I'd like it if you replied here, on your talk page.--RyRy5 (talk) 03:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- hmmm... tbh it's not the most interesting hook I've ever seen, but I've seen plenty show up on the main page that were more boring to me. I commented on the DYK page about it and imho there's no good reason to not accept the nom. I was going to comment on the nom later anyway, so I just went ahead and commented now... And yes, I do remember you. :) (mwahahahahaha) Thingg⊕⊗ 04:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Removed prod
Thanks for your concern on the J.H. Whitney & Company article but I have removed the prod as I do not see any grounds for its inclusion. If you have specific issues with any of the text, please feel free to make changes but the article is fairly balanced, if anything I would expect an advertiser would be fired for including a discussion of firm's failures in 2000 and back in the early 1990s. Let me know if you have any further issues. Thanks |► ϋ r b a n я e n e w a l ◄| (talk) 23:35, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- I meant to remove the prod stuff, but I must have forgotten to hit "save page." I just wanted to let you know I'm really sorry about that and I'll definitely be more careful in the future. Again, I'm really sorry about that. Thingg⊕⊗ 13:08, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Not a problem. |► ϋ r b a n я e n e w a l ◄| (talk) 15:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Huggle?
Er...excuse me? I don't use Huggle, or any other automated script, for that matter. Perhaps you left that message on the wrong page? GlassCobra 23:53, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- Also, I can't help but notice the irony of you using Huggle to leave me a message saying to be more careful with Huggle... GlassCobra 00:04, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Ha ha ha
Well, I'm thinking the tag will work, it did on the same page for J.delanoy, and even if it doesn't work, they have been given warning and will be treated as a vandal if they revert it. dude527 (talk) 00:47, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you
For reverting persistent vandalism to my talk page. Much appreciated. Cheers, JNW (talk) 14:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] I'm not a vandal!
Hi Thingg. If that was a manual revert to my edit of Trams in Europe, it was scarily quick. Could you spare me the vandalism warnings though? If you look at this edit you'll notice that an anonymous user triplicated almost the entire article about a fortnight ago. Since ClueBot seems to have missed it, I thought I would tidy up the article by removing the triplicated sections, but ClueBot reverted it (fair enough - I can see why a heuristic would pick that up). I reported a ClueBot false positive, and assumed that doing so would at least temporarily allow me to save the edit. Is that not correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Parallelepipete (talk • contribs) 14:57, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Central Board of Secondary Education link
I goofed.
After spending hours putting together Talk:Central Board of Secondary Education/Spam and listing domains at WikiProject Spam I screwed up and left in the spammy cbse.co.in link by mistake, not the official http://www.cbse.nic.in. I am glad this error got corrected and I am sorry for the mistake. --A. B. (talk • contribs) 17:52, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 2008 South American Rugby Championship
hello friend, the edit you reverted was actually a true news... Argentina "A" v. Uruguay was actually the 1st match of the South American Rugby union tournament, it was held in Montevideo the last 31st May. Unfortunately news from South America are not very quick, plus there's not a CONSUR official website; plus the IRB site doesn't have a page dedicated to the South American Championship. If you want to reply plese refer to my Italian discussion page here at w:it:Discussioni utente:Blackcat. regards S. Sergio † BC™ (Write me!) 17:52, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

P.S. Ziti are particularily good with a lot of tomato sauce (I used to suck the sauce with them when I was child :D ). Sergio † BC™ (Write me!) 18:04, 11 June 2008 (UTC)- Replied on your Italian talk page. And yes, ziti is good with a lot of tomato sauce...and tons of cheese too. :D Thingg⊕⊗ 18:06, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pete Young
First it was Pete Smith, now Pete Young. Do you think that Pete Young is 1500+ characters? I counted, but I just wanted you to check. --RyRy5 (talk) 21:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] London Theological Seminary
Would like to know the reason for flagging for deletion. London Theological Seminary is a respected training college - known, in its field, all over the world - and almost all similar colleges have entries on Wikipedia. I am trying to improve the comprehensiveness of the coverage in this area. Zadok99 (talk) 22:09, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
