[edit] Vandalism

This article was vandalized early in the morning July 1st. I deleted most of the junk that was inserted, but it still needs to be restored to what it was.-anon, 1 July 2007

My, what a class act the antievolutionists are putting on. --Wesley R. Elsberry 15:37, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
BTW, could someone please revert this to a pre-July 1st version? There was nothing "attempted" about my Ph.D. program; you can verify my success via pulling up my dissertation record at the Thesis Office of Texas A&M University. --Wesley R. Elsberry 17:51, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
I have also sent email setting up an abuse report with Verizon. If anyone wishes to communicate with Verizon about it, the email is abuse@verizon.net and you should refer to case "[AB-C3117683A] Wikipedia vandalism incident". If anyone has suggestions for getting an actual identity of the libelous vandal, please contact me. --Wesley R. Elsberry 17:55, 1 July 2007 (UTC) (UTC)
I have reverted back to my version from earlier today, and have protected the article for 5 days against anonymous and newly registered users. I suggest you might want to take any issues about the article to Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard where administrators with experience in these matters could help out. SGGH speak! 18:06, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you kindly. --Wesley R. Elsberry 19:31, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

It is likely that the libelous vandal here impersonated a California officer of the court in making a confession concerning his computer being used for the Wikipedia editing. The Riverside County DPSS is investigating the incident since it was one of their personnel that the vandal impersonated. I'll note more about this when I learn more. --Wesley R. Elsberry 19:21, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

I proposed deletion for this article. It was one of the early things I edited, before I had read up on various Wikipedia policies. A WP:AUTO problem is nonetheless no less bad due to my ignorance then.

There are also the WP:BIO criteria to consider. Do I merit a Wikipedia article? That can't be my decision. IIRC, I was filling in a blank article due to my name being used elsewhere, but I don't recall which article that might have been.

So this will have to be hashed out by the rest of Wikipedia. I can provide links for verification of things on request. --Wesley R. Elsberry 21:07, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposal

Should the article on Wesley R. Elsberry's blog called The Austringer be merged as a sub-section of this article? Cheers! Wassupwestcoast (talk) 15:36, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Merge. Although the comparison seems a bit outrageous, the precedent of the Perez Hilton celebrity blog is to tie it into the bio of the blog's author. So, I support a merge. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast (talk) 16:39, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge. The blog is notable only within the context of Elsberry, so the content should be on here. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 04:07, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
