Regarding deleted comment and warning...
I don't understand how it could have been construed as unimportant. It wasn't irrelevant, it was interesting... and it pertained to the article. Maybe you should reconsider. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ottoid (talk • contribs) 06:35, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- You have a point. I will revise the message to be more specific. Toddst1 (talk) 15:29, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
ANI report
Just to notify you about a recent ANI post which has been created regarding your recent edits. Rudget (Help?) 16:37, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
User: Robdurbar 81
I feel that User:Nightmare 81 could possibly be a sockpuppet of User: Wonderfool. He baltantly listed it as the first username on his vandalism spree. I need a name000 (talk) 00:25, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
NineSigma
I've reformatted the NineSigma page several times, the last was just a bare bones explanation of what the company does. This is no different than their competitors page Innocentive, or any other brand page i.e. kraft, starbucks, etc. Thus, I'm completely in the dark as to how the page is 'blatant advertising' when it isn't actually selling anything.
Could you please advise how I could make an acceptable page about this company that won't be deleted, because I've tried everything! Ninesigma (talk) 14:27, 2 May 2008 (UTC)Ninesigma
User:Bloopenguins
I'm not so much into teaching; too much typing. Reminds me of helping new players at Project Rockstar. Not that I don't enjoy it, but making what your saying 'unmistakable' can be tiring... HalfShadow (talk) 04:46, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- Not trying to make anyone look/feel bad. I just felt especially charitable. I'm back to normal now. 8-) Toddst1 (talk) 07:05, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Dawn Yang
It doesn't seem like warnings are going to work on Dawn Yang, we've had multiple unrepentant reversions. I've reverted to my limit and even though it's a WP:BLP concern, I don't think anything I do right now will help until the admins take action. Just letting you know. Thanks! Redrocket (talk) 09:08, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- I blocked the main offender for repeat BLP violations and the page is protected so new editors can't continue the spree. Toddst1 (talk) 15:59, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Another Deleted Article?
Dear Toddst1, please show the courtesy to alert users that you intend to obliterate articles, which will give them a chance to modify content to suit Wikipedia standards or your personal preferences... I worked hard on a page that you deleted. Now, I have to start from scratch.Peterlitwin (talk) 13:55, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- I intend to "obliterate" all attack pages you create as well as any further vandalism you may perpetrate. You have been alerted. Happy now? Toddst1 (talk) 16:02, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

"blocked for a period of 2 fortnights"
Great way to put it! I wonder if the blockee will know what that means.
Best wishes, Wanderer57 (talk) 16:49, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- Gotta make it interesting. Let them do the math. I guess I was feeling creative today. I blocked an IP vandal for 13 fortnights as well. Toddst1 (talk) 16:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Deleted North Queensland Soaring Centre
The North QLD Soaring Centre article was about a non-profit club of gliding enthusiasts amd therefore should not have been deleted as blatant advertising. How do I recover this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.185.58.145 (talk • contribs) 21:48, 2 May 2008
- I reviewed the deleted article and I think it meets the criteria for speedy deletion. Toddst1 (talk) 05:40, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

rtgs's personal page
You have deleted my page, telling me that I am vandalizing and that you have rights to delete MY PAGE. But did you exercised your rights in a right way???
As I am new here, and IF you are real administrator (not Greek propagandist) please revert my page BACK and mark with bold everything you think is not appropriate, so i will delete that AND explain to you why I think it is appropriate. Then, if you agree I will put it back.
Just to stress - that I HAVE NOT CHANGED any article, only talk pages, where I express MY OPINION on what has happen to MY COUNTRY. If I do not persuade people, I will not change anything in the article, as you have deleted MY PAGE, thus eliminating MY RIGHT on free speech. Shame on you.Rtgs (talk) 09:28, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I'll comment once I read through the whole thing thrice. RC-0722 247.5/1 20:17, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

User:Bruce333367
Hi, Todd. You may wish to consider locking down the talk page on this guy. I was just on my way to report more nonsense on that page when you lowered the boom on him. Thanks for all you do! :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 20:07, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
User:Ryoka7
Hello Todd, thought I alert you to this guy Special:Contributions/Ryoka7, who keeps on blanking his talk page thinking that we are stupid when we don't get to see his list of previous history of multiple vandalism entries and getting multiple warnings from loads of people. I get really sick of having to monitor this kind of people all the time and I shall leave him to you now for whatever further intentions you might have in mind. PS: I'm all for BANNING him, seems that this account was created for nothing but vandalism and vandalism only. --Dave1185 (talk) 22:03, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- It's allowed to blank your talk page. It's discouraged, but not vandalism. Toddst1 (talk) 22:05, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
-
- I know that but his recent streak of vandalism after coming out from a BAN is a good enough proof that he is nothing but a trouble-maker, and maybe even hell bent on vandalising more articles to come. Oh and by the way, User:Jsmith86 and me are now monitoring his every move now... (and to quote Capt Bart Mancuso of "Hunt for Red October") if he so much as twitches again, we will blow him right to Mars. --Dave1185 (talk) 22:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Please read my response
>>Toddst1, I get that this is Wikipedia, the problem is the exception to whether or not all people's perspectives count applies only to Macedonians when it comes to Balkan issues. The problem is when a peoples self-determinate to a name, a symbol, or etc other people should not influence or force their decision upon them because that nullifies self-determination Mactruth (talk) 00:23, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I very much appreciate your support. 99.99% chance that these threats are kids, but the one time it's not I don't want to pass it off. Again, thank you. Cheers, Bstone (talk) 13:27, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure that very few wikipedia administrators have training in assessing threats like that. We have no business making calls like that. I feel the same way about suicide notes that we sometimes find here. Toddst1 (talk) 21:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
email blocking
Hi. You might want to consider not using email blocking so often; it's really only designed to be used for very abusive editors who actually abuse email. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 14:24, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
User:ArglebargleIV
(Response) I would like a semi-protection on User:ArglebargleIV very much, thank you. I don't mind too much what people do to my talk page, but the user page stuff is annoying. Thanks again. -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 21:32, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Fairlight
I would like you to review the comment section that you left on my talk page and witness for yourself the type of editor that lodged the complaint regarding the Fairlight article. The fact is that two editors (myself and one other) independently added that story to the article (I was not aware of the first addition when I made mine). Both times the content was removed by an anon claiming that the source was not reliable. I will not judge whether it is or not. But if you consider the anon editor's remarks, both in his edit summaries and on my talk page, I think it's pretty clear that he has his own motivation for prompting such immediate action on his part and yours. I also don't see why such a harsh warning was given by you on my talk page. I have not shown any sort of bad faith on my part (how could I when there was zero prior discussion about the issue?) and I don't think you have acted in a manner that is either fair or responsible. Ham Pastrami (talk) 00:27, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Defamation is defamation. Your assessment of responsibility is unfortunate. Toddst1 (talk) 01:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Indef block of IP?
Did you really put an indefinite block on 216.51.167.250 (talk · contribs)? Granted I have only been an admin for a few months, but I thought a year was the max for IPs. --Kralizec! (talk) 18:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Grin. Yep. I did. Guilty as charged. I had a brain fart when I read the AIV report as vandalism only. See [1] I fixed it within a matter of seconds (note the timestamps). Good catch though. Toddst1 (talk) 18:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
User:SamuelM555 blocked again
Hi. Sorry to bother you but I thought I would invite you to review my 1 month block of this user with whom you've interacted in the past. Too harsh? Too lenient? See what you think; I was tempted to make it an indef this time and maybe should have. What do you think? --John (talk) 20:58, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hi John. I fully support this block. I probably tend to block on the longer side of the bell curve, but your block seems totally reasonable to me. Full support. Shout if it's being discussed elsewhere. Toddst1 (talk) 21:19, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Blocking that Dragon Tales IP vandal...
Thank you very much! I was frustrated last night b/c the admin claimed the user wasn't properly warned--if you've been blocked for something once, shouldn't that constitute fair warning NOT to do the EXACT SAME THING AGAIN??--and then another admin marked it "stale", which was only rubbing salt in the wound. So, sorry about the 'tude. :) Thanks again! Gladys J Cortez 01:14, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Same article vandalism means previous warnings count. Glad to be of service. Toddst1 (talk) 01:16, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
More trouble at Video CD, CD Video, etc
You protected these pages a while back as a result of repeated vandalism from anon ip's. Since semi protection, socks are now editing with newly created names. I've posted to AN/I about it, Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User_talk:Harry_the_Hamster_-_sock_of_User_talk:Argus-Bot.2C_User_talk:86.129.31.62.2C_User_talk:86.145.219.221.2C_User_talk:86.162.213.186] AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 13:27, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
User:Samanthabox0817
I've listed this User at WP:COIN. They've created a large number of articles all related to the same photography agency, with no sourcing. Corvus cornixtalk 22:09, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Mark Hanau AFD
I see you did some careful editing at Mark Hanau, as did I several days ago, but Aimulti has responded with reverts of everything, including putting the actress back on as his daughter. Many of his sources are circular (referring back to WP) or original research. Exactly why AB is strongly discouraged. Sigh, Keepcalmandcarryon (talk) 22:47, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- My daughter, Sasha (Starlight) Hanau is sending me documents showing that I am her father. I hope they arrive in time but if not I will remove the claim until they do. I will post the ALRA company info later tonight. Companies House is closed for downloads at the moment. (business hours in the UK). I provided a link on the deletion page ( to the ALRA page of Companies House) but downloads cost $1.00 or (one Pound) . I will pay for it and post a link to he documents. Aimulti (talk) 23:08, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

- Please review WP:Reliable. Toddst1 (talk) 23:11, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Dear Todd, Can you list the links you have a problem with on the discussion page and I will respond or edit them. I am NOT trying to do anything but provide a true and honest article. Aimulti (talk) 23:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- See the article. I've tagged them. You know, the edits you reverted without explanation?Toddst1 (talk) 23:25, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
With regard to ALRA. Kent Library lists the three directors (managers to use their term) but Sorrel Carson is called Mr. Sorrel Carson. On that basis Sorrel Carson (female) was not involved. The other article (obituary in the Stage) only mentions Sorrel. As Stage is a theatre magazine it has little interest in business people of the Chairman of a company. Mark was hardy about to ask for a retraction of his mothers obituary. EVERY PROSPECTUS, (scan provided) ADVERTISEMENT, & COMPANY DOCUMENT lists the directors correctly (as required by law) with Mark Hanau as Chairman.Aimulti (talk) 23:31, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- Toddst1 has referred you to WP:Reliable. You are trying to use original research and primary documents. The WP standard, as I have told you, is that if a subject has no articles about it/him/her in peer-reviewed publications or in the mainstream press, it does not belong in Wikipedia. Prospectuses, company documents, and advertisements are great sources for lawyers and private eyes, but they do not generally meet WP standards. Keepcalmandcarryon (talk) 23:43, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Newsletter
I'd just like to know so I can fix the problem - how does the newsletter mess up your archiving? - DiligentTerrier (and friends) 22:08, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Take a look at the history of this page. I had to manually archive it earlier today. I think it's because it doesn't end with a timestamp but I'm not sure. Toddst1 (talk) 22:49, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- OK, maybe I'll try ending the rest with a timestamp. Are you sure you want to opt-out, then? - DiligentTerrier (and friends) 22:54, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Aimulti on my page
I think the canvassing was reasonably legitimate, but it did emphasize how personal the issue and "his" page has become for this user. I contributed to the debate that the page should be kept, but that this user should not edit it any more. I think that would be to his benefit as much as to anyone else's. --Simon Speed (talk) 16:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
callupsie
Hello Todd, I have updated information about Callupsie. It is an indie rock band that features and collaborators that are already noted on wikipedia. The band has been featured in major music publications such as SPIN magazine. Collaborators include members of Black Flag and The Descendants. Callupsie is recognized for being the band who started the new wave of indie rock in the popular Tulsa music community, which is already drawing comparisons to the Omaha and Austin underground music scenes.
Hopefully those notes will be legitimate remedies for the wiki page.
thank you

Attack on aimulti
Dear Todd,
I have looked at your history and you seem to be a real Wikipedia editor. The person who is accused of being a sockpuppet of mine is known to me but other than that we have no connection by blood, business or anything else.
The attack on every contribution I have made (107) pages covering a wide range of topics has been organised by a group called "Dissident Action Group Exposed". Over the years they have distributed smear letters over the internet saying I am a child molester, blow up churches and other such nonsense. Do a yahoo search if you doubt my word.
Also look at the edit history of the two people I named. They both joined within one day of each other (only about 10 days ago) and have made hundreds of contributions since then. ALL ATTACKS ON AIMULTI.
You seem a fair person so all I ask is you check out what I have said above and then act as you see fit.
Wikipedia is not the place to act out personal vendettas. I hope you agree.Aimulti (talk) 21:10, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Could you explain (in the article's talk pages) what in the article as it now stands involves a COI, or otherwise please remove your tag ? RGCorris (talk) 13:52, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
How many does it take?
How many times does a user have to be warned about blatant vandalism before it is considered sufficient? Niteshift36 (talk) 16:09, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- If it's an IP, it typically has to be clear that they have seen the warning - either edit past final on the same day, same article on different days, or similar vandalism. Otherwise it is somewhat unfair. If I made policy, it wouldn't be that way, but that's the custom. Toddst1 (talk) 16:11, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
I reported a registered user who has been warned twice (I just made it a third). His contributions have ALL been reverted as vandalism and he did an article that was speedy deleted because is was pure nonsense about a classmate of his. Yet you removed him from the vandalism list without explaination. Could you clue me in? Niteshift36 (talk) 16:14, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sure. Before I do, I should say that we very much appreciate your efforts in fighting vandalism here.
- I assume you're talking about MileyCyrusFanNumero1 (talk · contribs). Two reasons this user won't be blocked today: User is not currently active and has not edited past a final warning. Last edit was several hours ago - before you added the u3 warning to the talk page. Blocks are preventative - not punative. While this user's contributions aren't entirely constructive, they're not blatant vandalism. More info at Wikipedia:Blocking policy.
- Hope this helps. Toddst1 (talk) 16:23, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
-
- It does, but it doesn't. Who can give a final warning? When can a final warning be given. Second, if you actually read the past edits, you will see they really are blatant vandalism. This whole thing with Mark Deboy goes back to <defamatory edit deleted> Every attempt to add Mark Deboy is related to that. I guess it has to be more blatant than that. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:32, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry - my bad. You are correct that there was blatant vandalism - actually defamation which is especially problematic.
- Here's how it works: Anyone can issue warnings at any of the 4 levels for violations of policy. Usually we start with level1 and go up to level 4 in order. Sometimes when it's pretty blatant we may skip a level. There are a couple of situations where we go directly to level 4im warnings - and this would be one of them - defamation of a living person under WP:BLP). Another area that we go straight to 4im often is personal attack on another editor. We typically don't block an editor unless they edit past a warning that says something about being blocked, like in this case.
- I believe you are correct that this editor seems to be editing in bad faith, but following the custom here, he/she shouldn't be blocked unless he repeats it, now that a 4im has been issued. I've added them and their target articles to my watch list and I suspect you have too.
- On a related note, I took a quick look at your editing history and you seem to be a pretty solid vandal fighter. May I suggest you take a look at WP:TW? It's a tool that might make your work here a bit easier. Let me know if you need help setting it up. Keep up the great work and let me know if I can be of assistance.
- Cheers. Toddst1 (talk) 16:49, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
-
- Thanks. You are correct, I do watch articles for vandalism. Just FYI, I happen to be an alumni of Riverdale (a long time ago), so that's when I noticed this guy. His remark refers to an incident where 3 starters for the soccer team were arrested for the crime alluded to in the deleted remarks, although I don't remember DeBoy being one of them. Niteshift36 (talk) 17:00, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Question
Is one allowed to remove warnings from their talk page? Such as vandalism warnings... I can't see any policy on it. Many thanks in advance. Rapido (talk) 16:46, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yes. That's why I reverted that edit on your talk page that had been re-added. Toddst1 (talk) 16:50, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Aha, many thanks... you learn a new thing every day! Rapido (talk) 17:01, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Thankyou Todd
I do appreciate it when other editors make me aware that people have been talkling badly of me behind my back, I'm sure you know the word we attribute to this in the real world, and quite frankly I hate these type of people. I would rather people tell me to my face what problems they have with me. So again thankyou I will be checking who exactly has been doing this although I already have my suspicions. Cheers TeePee-20.7 (talk) 17:20, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
User:Dave Trumfio
Hi!
Myself and a few other editors have been helping the said user on IRC for the past hour or two, and while the article was a WP:COI, I believe that the editor was turning around, and was going to be a successful editor. Newbies make mistakes, and while the user in question has made a few mistakes, I feel strongly that this account was a vandalism only account. I would appreciate it if you could reconsider this block. Regards, Stwalkerster [ talk ] 22:21, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- I trust you mean that this user was NOT a voa. Unblocked per your endorsement. Toddst1 (talk) 22:27, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I did mean that - oops. Thanks Stwalkerster [ talk ] 22:30, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Aimulti (talk · contribs)
Regarding User:Aimulti, I'm not sure it's really a case of sockpuppetry or ban evasion as much as it is a guy who doesn't seem to understand Wikipedia very well. The IP edits strongly suggest he was having great difficulty with posting. I haven't looked too deeply into this, so maybe I'm way off, but I don't think this guy deserves an indef block. The block for personal attacks seems totally right, but he's a frustrated newbie who's facing a situation where an article about himself is being discussed for deletion. Being a little understanding of his mindset will go a long way towards helping the situation. -- Ned Scott 03:45, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
I respectfully but strongly disagree that Aimulti is simply a newbie who deserves understanding. I have given my reasons on the discussion page for the Mark Hanau AfD. "Elephant in the Room". Keepcalmandcarryon (talk) 14:39, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Protect then?
The anonymous vandal is still active at talk:aspartame. If blocking isn't appropriate, would you mind reinstating last week's page protection? Thanks. Deli nk (talk) 17:46, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
db warnings
Thanks for the reminder. I usually need to use the template text to get the syntax right on talk page warnings and the pages were disappearing faster than I could cut-n-paste as it seems that you and other admin are on top of the db queues right now. If you notice, in the case of some users, I am adding the templates to their talk pages as recommended. ju66l3r (talk) 21:46, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

RE: May 21
As I love reading messages that piss me off on really bad days, I feel like that is nothing for you to notice or bother with, it is not vandelism and what I said was nessearily true according to public opinions. YaBoiKrakerz
OK, fine, don't reply, it doesn't matter to me if you can't guard your quote or the fact that you're not allowed to remove comments no matter what they are, looks like you were the one breaking the rules. YaBoiKrakerz
why do people want to delete pages that have been up for over a year
Hi Todd, Just on regards to the Article Nelson Chan, additional revisions were made to it, but it was just deleted, and asked for consideration of deletion.I'm not pointing any fingures, yet on the other hand, the page has been up since 2007, and things just needed to be updated.
can we just allow the updates to take place?
furthermore, can you help with the pages of Mihcael Kuss, and Chirs Potter, they are both great meteorologist, and well deserve a page on Wikipedia.
I'm still pretty new to all of this, and I just read and learned about my own Talk page, so accept my apologies for putting too much info into somethings.
Thanks :)
- Oingoboing69 :) 17:03 MAY 21 2008
- hi Todd, sorry I didn't mean to paste an entire section into your talk page, where as I should have just forwarded

John Baselmans
On 20 March i did place the CSD A7 tag on the article John Baselmans because the article did ( and still does) not mention why the suject is notable or important. You did remove the article following the placement of the tag, but i'm wondering why the article the article now seems to be restored without a explanation ? I can guess this message has something to do with it, but that does not explain why my action was reverted. By the way, I would have liked to add this message as User:81.70.9.250 (as which user I did place the tag) but your talk page does not allow anonymous users to place messages? Kind regards, FruitcakeNL (talk) 15:28, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry about the semi-protected talk page - rash of vandalism yesterday. It should expire shortly.
- Baselman's stamps appear to at least assert notability - which is all you need to do to avoid speedy. My speedy deletion was an error on my part. If you feel he is not notable, please take it to WP:AfD. Best regards. Toddst1 (talk) 15:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- But in which way does the article assert notability? It's not really my opinion that mr. Baselmans would be not notable enough, i just can not read anywhere in the article why he would be important or notable enough to be mentioned on Wikipedia. Why would the CSD A7 tag be inappropiate in this case? Kind regards, FruitcakeNL (talk) 15:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- The article states his work was used on stamps from a sovereign government and lists numerous exhibitions which assert notability; it fails C7. For more info, see Wikipedia:CREATIVE. Again, if you feel differently, I strongly encourage you to take it to WP:AfD.Toddst1 (talk) 15:49, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- I do feel Wikipedia:CREATIVE surely does not apply to mr. Baselmans, and that solely the design (or use of his work in) of stamps is not enough to be mentioned on Wikipedia (that would be thousands of more or less impotant illustrators and artists from all over the world, and i'm sure that not any of them is mentioned on Wikipedia because of that). In my opinion, it's more what makes him important as a artist what would assert notability, as is mentioned in Wikipedia:CREATIVE (wide recognition as a artist, uniqe style, influence, etc.) Sorry for my stubbornness, but i just don't understand why it would be neccesary to start a AfD discussion if C7 could apply to this article (and i don't understand why it does not)?

Todd - We've been quite compliant with Wikipedia's rules and have removed any perceived bias. This is not corporate spam. This is a cost model detail. Yet the same warnings keep coming, most of which do not make any sense. How is what we're contributing any different than say Microsoft Excel?

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Hanau
How do you get keep out of 7 delete suggestions (not votes) and 5 keeps, one of which was the subject and another was a sock of the subject? Toddst1 (talk) 23:12, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- I counted 6 and 6 if we discount the possible sockpuppet, 7-6 if we don't. I think the reluctance of other admins to close it speaks to the closeness of the discussion, which should default to keep. Perhaps "no consensus: default to keep" would have been better, but the end effect would have been the same. But don't forget that it is not just the numbers on each side that matter, it's their arguments based on policy. Many !voters of "delete" suggested that the article could be recreated better. If so, then it can just be made better and there is no reason to get rid of the history. --Selket Talk 23:24, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Reverting all edits by vandal?
Thank you for blocking User:Tuds75. However, many of his recent vandalisms are still present. On many of the pages, he's made multiple edits, and as I am not an administrator, I can't quickly and easily revert all of his changes. Would it be possible for you to do this, or point me to where I should request his edits be reverted? Also, it appears he (or someone vandalizing in an extremely similar pattern) is doing further vandalism as 71.63.251.34, which should also likely be blocked and reverted. — λ 00:26, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Help please, Todd. Bloo caught another vandal...
Here is the info and the time. This took place on the CSI: Miami page, David Caruso's name was replaced with an unrelated person. If you are able to send a report to the right place in enough time - I would appreciate it. As I explained last time I tried to help by reporting a vandal, I'm an avid Wiki user and reader, and fix things by the people trying to make this "Wanker-Pedia" quickly....but I do not have enough time to learn the procedures to police the place. So I ask for your kind help. I posted the standard "warning" in the IP users talk page. I personally think everyone should have to register in order to edit anything, but I'm not in charge.

Medialink Worldwide
Hi,
I noticed that this page was deleted and feel as if it was done so unfairly. Meant to provide information about the company, the page was speedily deleted because it was marked so by an individual who's account has been flagged for his frequent deletion.
I was currently in the process of adding information about the company of Medialink when I was initially marked for deletion. As I was making changes, and even referred to the webpage for Public Relations Society of America which was similar in language to Medialink page, the Medialink page was still deleted.
The page contained outside references about this company, pointed out elements related to its development and gave examples of what this company does - much like larger companies GM, Fisher-Price, etc. As more information was being added, the page was simply deleted.
I would like to discuss this issue further with you and work to address the removal of this page in a timely manner. Thank you for your time!
Thanks, --Eklein428 (talk) 18:18, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Are you the Online Media Relations Project Manager at Medialink? Toddst1 (talk) 18:20, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry for the confusion...Yes....I noticed that Medialink on Wikipedia does not represent Medialink Worldwide. I would like advice to make Medialink Worldwide apart of the Wikipedia network as part of an Encyclopedia Entry, not a promotional effort. This is being done on my own accord and is not, in any way, meant to promote the company as a whole. How can I achieve such a post.--Eklein428 (talk) 18:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)--Eklein428 (talk) 18:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved as you did at Medialink Worldwide. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.
Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be speedily deleted as Medialink Worldwide was or listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.
If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 19:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
In effect, there is nothing I can do to add information about the company even though a completely unrelated organization currently has a two sentence wikipedia post? You have been so helpful thus far and I appreciate all your help but anything else you can do to lead me in the right direction in this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for any additional insight.
--Eklein428 (talk) 19:05, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Reasons for deletion?
Hi - I rewrote EasyLearning and Serebra Connect to take into account your comments and you deleted them as "vandalism". I am new to this but this seems excessively heavy-handed. Please explain your thinking as I significantly changed the pages according to your comments.
Also, you have marked EasyLearning for deletion. Would you mind explaining how this program, as a unique and worthwhile one as far as I can tell, is to be deleted when on the E-learning page are listed many commercial companies under "Proprietary"? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.158.140 (talk • contribs) 21:05, 22 May 2008
- Removal of templates without comment is usually viewed as vandalism, especially, speedy deletion templates for articles you created yourself. As far as the AfD nomination, see WP:Corp. I suspect WP:COI applies as well. Toddst1 (talk) 21:11, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I removed two of these tags, as the text I saw was not blatant advertising by any means and contained a significant notability claim (being CEO of a major company) which makes it unsuitable for speedying.

Mr, Green, as you're doing that, how about becoming familiar with Wikipedia:Username policy and patrolling the new names? You'll find a lot of obvious trolls there and it could be an area where you could add a lot of value as not many people do that work. When you find one that doesn't meet the policy, you could do one of two things:
- Add this text to the user talk page:
{{usernameconcern| REPLACE WITH YOUR WORDS}} ~~~~
- If it's really blatant, or they're not responsive/cooperative, report them at Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention for an admin to dispatch.
Just don't be over-enthusiastic or otherwise impolite with the message (I don't think that would be a problem). Sound good? Toddst1 (talk) 18:45, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Happy holiday + advice request
Dear Todd. First let me wish you a happy holiday and say I have no hard feelings. I believe you acted in good faith although I feel you may have attributed errors (due to inexperience on my part) to willful wrong doing, in error. I have learned a great deal from you which will make me a better editor in future (if I decide to continue editing).
I have one question you may be able to answer. While working for photographer, John Vickers, he taught me a photographic technique he developed and called Educated Bleachouts.
The technique created astounding copper plate engraving or scraper board like images from regular continuous tone photographs. One example was a cat. Every single hair could be counted in the final EB print. He provided these EB's mainly for newsprint advertising (pre coated stock) as they reproduced well. He told me I was the only assistant he had taught the technique. No article or book on it exists.
I am getting old and would hate to see this outstanding technique be lost for all time. How could I create a Wikipedia article on it as no references exist? Is there anyway experts in photography can review an article and confirm that it is plausible and correct? It need not be attributed to any person but just be a how to article. Does Wikipedia have any way to preserve knowledge that is not already published? Possibly not....but that would be sad as this is the perfect forum in which to do so if the right safeguards existed.
Any ideas? Warmest regards,Aimulti (talk) 03:22, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I think this is an important and notable topic and needs to be made in a format that it acceptable to all and of encyclopaedic value. Precisely how, for example, is the article in any way defamatory.

- First, the article isn't ready yet. It still fails WP:Corp and needs reliable third party references, establishing WP:notability and would be speedily deleted again. If you don't meet those criteria before you move it back, I would be surprised if you get a third chance.
- Second, there are two ways:
- An administrator can move the article to Saloon Doors Emporium
- You could cut and paste it into Saloon Doors Emporium

Mind explaining an indefinite block on this user beyond a generic template? -- Ned Scott 06:52, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- User:Kafziel filled me in a little bit more on it. Sorry to question your block, but all I had to go on was their recent contribs, so it didn't add up right away for me. From what Kafziel told me, this editor has been very disruptive, and I guess the indef block makes sense in light of that. However, might I suggest trying a topical ban instead? -- Ned Scott 07:14, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Ned, Sorry I was away for most of the evening yesterday. I could support a topical ban. It appears that quite a discussion has taken place since then though, including protecting his/her talk page. Do you still think we should reduce it? If you do, please just go ahead and change it with my support. Toddst1 (talk) 14:03, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
