Compiere spamming
Hi Hadal, and thank you for your hard work fighting spam. I have just noticed that the spammer has done again, he has probably used a proxy (although he made a mistake ? in his URL name). The other problem is he is spamming at least three or four other Wikipedias, (the French, the Thai, the German and the Dutch I think). I have two questions, can you filter his URL, are you are of this ? meta:Anti-spam Features, is it possible to block him there too, or should we contact administrators there. thanks--Khalid hassani 13:35, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for the tip he is becoming really a pain ! --Khalid hassani 22:01, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Smartelements spam block
Seems time to make (y)our threat at User talk:62.178.173.218 a reality. (Special:Contributions/62.178.173.218) -- Femto 11:01, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, this is a request, not a remark btw. You appear to be the appropriate admin to 'do the job'. It's a recurring commercial spammer with a more than ample amount of warnings, and I don't want to revert the next batch of links if he decides that the wikicoast is clear again. Femto 18:10, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- No need to apologize to me (European) for any time-shift issues or a mere 58 h delay (not that I counted, heh). I wouldn't have expected the next 'testing the water'-link before next week or so anyway. 30 days is just fine, just long enough to make the point if he trie(s/d) to resurface. I'll keep in mind the blacklist, though hope he decides that WP became worthless to him. Femto 11:37, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
Heads up on Natural Selection edit
Hey,
I noticed that you've done some reverts on the Natural Selection page, so I thought I should give you a courtesy note on my edit this evening. I laid out my justification (which I trust is pretty self-explanatory) on the talk page ("Edit" section). I didn't go through the whole history of diffs, so I sincerely hope that you aren't the author of the paragraph I deleted! If so, I'm really sorry, but I think you should give some consideration to my points, and then maybe we can discuss further.
Thanks,
Brad
Eh, sorry.
I was trying.
Sacrament
I would like to report several incidents of vandalism on the page for Sacrament. I fixed the page; they were minor things. It seems, however, that the user 203.36.44.14 has a history of vandalism. Perhaps a warning or a blocking might be in order. That's your call. Thanks. KHM03 02:49, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for finding me out so quickly. Although I do not believe that the GOP is not delicious to eat.

Bartman
Yeh, that one guy editorialized a bit. He sounded like a bitter Cubs fan. He has a point, just not quite the right one.
Maybe someone could say something like this, although maybe it should be in a different article: Bartman became a scapegoat for the Cubs' failure to advance to the World Series. There is a demonstrable tendency among fans and writers to ascribe supernatural characteristics to teams. Teams that win frequently, such as the New York Yankees or Green Bay Packers, are said to have a "mystique" or "aura" about them. Teams that seem to fall short repeatedly over many years, such as the Chicago Cubs or (until 2004) the Boston Red Sox, are said to be "cursed" or "jinxed". The psychology of this presumed phenomenon seems to take on mythological or even religious overtones, specifically the idea that external forces are involved in a team's success or failure. Some fans and writers cling to this theory. Others observe that winning is largely a product of investment in talent, combined with appropriate leadership. Luck may play a part, but as player development genius Branch Rickey said, "Luck is the residue of design."
Hmmm, maybe that's also too editorial. It's at least more in the realm of fact and not so emotional. Wahkeenah 04:38, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
Clinohumite
Hi - there is a recently added gemstone article Clinohumite added by an anon who now seems to have signed up. I thought it might be a copyvio, but don't have the reference books he is using to check. The article is in need of wikifying and maybe some reorganizing. I'm really not familiar with the mineral and know nothing about the rare gemstone part - so I thought I'd ask an expert to take a look. :-) Thanks, Vsmith 02:49, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
- Also the new user in question User talk:Zotter has not yet been welcomed by an admin. - maybe you could do the honors and chat with him/her a bit. Vsmith 02:49, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

Great job! On another note, in case you weren't aware, the webmaster of Mindat.org is also a wikipedian: User:Jolyonralph. He and I have worked together to make the mindat database directly available to wikipedia at List of minerals (complete) and its subpages. I think it is a great resource - take a look at the list and talk and let us know what you think. Vsmith 01:51, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

- I had to do a little research to find out what "I" posted. This machine (24.128.209.177) is part of a lab. I'm the teacher and lab coordinator. Now that I know when and on what machine this was posted, I'm going to have a little chat with the student who posted it. He is no longer allowed in the lab. I just wanted to #1: thank you for your hard work. It doesn't go unapreciated, and #2, request that your posts about vandalism to "contributors" have more information in them, so It doesn't just come out of the blue.
-Thank you.

Vandalism..
I just got the following message: Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Your name and the date and time.
But since when is correcting a mistake, or possibly even a case of vandalism, vandalism itself.
I altered on the page of Hamas: gorilla ooh ooh aah aah into guerrilla war, because that is clearly what the article was talking about.
I read on, noticed what seemed to be a formatting issue where someone wasn't linking properly to Saudi-Arabia and was about to correct that as well, when I noticed your message. Good call on correcting that issue yourself, but still, I do object to your insinuation that I'm adding nonsense to Wikipedia.

I have a question, is what im doing "vandalism" if the user whos page im "vandalizing" dosent mind/care that it is being vandalized. 24.250.217.87 02:32, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
Well BrokenSegue was more of a joke, I mean come on when you put up a count like that its asking to be vandalized. But if you look at the PhoenixPinion's history you will see that He has made edits after i have "vandalized" his user page and kept them. Infact he even wikified one of them, so if thats not endorsing i dont know what is. 24.250.217.87 02:37, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
But really is adding to someones vandalism count and not touching anything else on there user page vandalism? 24.250.217.87 02:41, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

aggressive editing of informative relavant links
Dear Hadal,
I understand that you are considered as a big fighter against vandalism on Wikipedia but I'm afraid you are being too aggressive.
I've just posted several links additions to articles on 'US Army', 'SMS' & 'Botany' that link to an extensive list of related acronyms and abbreviations of those topics on an honored award winning and respective resource named AbbreviationZ which I believe will be an helpful information for Wikipedia browsers on those topics.
I don't understand why did you removed them. Please explain.
Sinceraly, Yigal Ben Efraim CEO AbbreviationZ.com
- I've replied at User talk:67.84.111.72. -- Hadal 05:12, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
So adding a large number of links is considered link spam regardless of the links nature? Does a list of more than 20,000 army related acronyms is irrelevant to the US Army article? Does a list of hundreds SMS abbreviations is not relevant to SMS? the AbbreviationZ.com reference web site holds a large number of categories each in a separate category, it has being found a great reference resource by USA Today, the New York Times and others but for Wikipedia is considered a link spam just because it fits several different topics?
I'm afraid you didn't give a fair reason of the removal of our links. I suggest that as a dedicated editor of Wikipedia you'll reconsider your decision.
Thanks in advance.
It would have if the Botany article didn't contain links to other tangents such as: 'American society of plant biologists' or 'The Trees Of Great Britain and Ireland'. When you think about that, everything is a tangent of a tangent of a tangent. Frankly, I don't think a list of Botanical related abbreviations is too tangent and besides, the question is whether the Wikipeida users that read the botanical topic can benefit from our link or not and I think the answer is positive.
(much of the above is from anonymous link pusher)

Chin up at Dinosaur, Hadal!
...after all, one crank will soon enough be replaced with another... I have it on my watchlist too, if you run out of revert-credits. Unfossilized dinosaur bones has links that give a glimpse of the material that is being interpreted in this zany fashion, such as CBS News. com "More on the Soft Tissues from the T-Rex from Montana" (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/03/24/tech/main683019.shtml) The best counter in these cases is more detailed and more copious authentic information, incorporating the new findings that are getting such sensationalist treatment by the boobies. --Wetman 05:09, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

I was just reporting what i read in the NY times this morning so it isnt nonsense get your fact's right
The fact you don't seem to understand is that a plane was never found in nor anyway near the Pentagon. The official story denies common sense logic and the laws of physics. If you take the time to investigate you will damn well know this is a crock of lies about flight 77

Vandalism
I was curious as to why you had vandalised the Port Arthur theories page, as referenced in history: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Port_Arthur_theories&action=history, at least why you had wiped a perfectly legitimate page that fulfilled every one of Wikipedia's rules for a valid, unbiased page with references. I believe that the action of maliciously wiping such a page, and replacing it with a REDIRECT link very easily constitutes vandalism (especially since it is then difficult to restore the page). I trust that you misunderstood who the vandal was. 203.26.206.129 11:01, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
Thank you
Hi!
Just wanted to quickly thank you for your contribution to the common struggle against vandalism by Rovoam. I was busy at work these days and couldn't visit Wiki, so I was very glad to see that a number of editors including you, Tony and Weyes have prevented Rovoam's vandalisms and spurious edits.
I am placing regular disclaimers on talkpages of all his known IPs. I do this both for records and for other editors to know and be on alert. If you haven't seen them, here's the last disclaimer. Thanks once again. --Tabib 12:28, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia: Todd Brendan Fahey
RedWordSmith,
This page was "tagged" for potential "copyright violation" yesterday by "Fawcett"; however, the page of origination (the original text) IS Wikipedia's.
Many other sites Web-wide have taken Wikipedia's draft and transferred the text to their own. A stamp-of-approval, it seems, for Wikipedia.
This is to let you know that the entry for "Todd Brendan Fahey" was first posted (and then "Wikified" at Wikipedia.org. There has been no copyright infringement.
(The page seems to be under periodic vandal attack, as the "History" page reveals. But that's another story.)
PLEASE RETAIN THE CURRENT DRAFT of the Wikipedia entry for "Todd Brendan Fahey." It is accurate and has already been "approved" and "Wikified" by your Admins.
Thx.

Hi. I took to liberty of reverting some vandalism an anon left on your user page (looks like someone you've blocked at least once who's got an axe to grind).

Images: RE-UPLOADING
Sir, I want to be able to RE-UPLOAD images that "I" have previously up-loaded. I can not re-upload, it either acts like it does, but doesn't, and if I try to delete MY old image, I can't, I get "Sysop access required". I should be the Sysop on images that I have created and submitted. So if I fix the image I should be able to re-load it. Sometime I find errors in images that I have previously up-loaded, or I see a way to make them better, improve them. HELP...WikiDon 19:27, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, this is still an issue. Can I get Sysop/admin rights for the files I upload? Mainly I want to be able to do it on-the-fly, one at a time, as I go. Is there a way you can check and look at all the files that I have uploaded easily? I have orphaned several since I started Wiking. I useally just rename the file on my computer (EXAMPLE: Auckland.PNG to Auckland.png or Clare_Island.PNG to Clare-Island.PNG), then it is very painless to edit the file and just replace the underscore to a dash, or lower case to upper case, or visa versa. If there is a way to check, you should find several orphans. I don't have a list of them all. If I create a map, then either find and error, or impove the map, I useally just delete it on my system, so I wouldn't be exactly sure what it is. I could paw through the "My Contributions" page and sift and compare, but that is NOT a chore I relish. Why, at least can't I reload over the top of a file that I already created, that would solve the problem. If the user that created the file is logged-in, and trys to re-upload a file with the same file name, as long as that file has not been modified (images, *.JPG, *.PNG, shouldn't be), then they should be able to do so (of course they are logged in as the same user both times). Relish, speaking of relish, I am hungry, got to go eat. WikiDon 02:29, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Though he has recently retracted his request to be banned, other editors would like him to be blocked. Thanks. -- Ec5618 00:20, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
- He does seem to have cooled down, in that he has stopped editing. He seems to have confined himself to his own talk page, where he is having a useless, but harmless, 'discussion' with another editor. Still, I'm all for second chances, and do agree that a block at this stage might anrage Bensaccount. So, I'll thank you for your time, and I will keep you informed.

Your Anne Bonny Article
You are absolutely in control of the Anne Bonny article, there is no doubt about it. Within that Biography, you have elected to include fictional information that originated in, well, books of fiction, and are not supported in any serious scholarly works. The final paragraph is perhaps the most puzzling, an assertion that Anne Bonny somehow became Bart Roberts. It is completely within your control to keep this mostly fictional account of the life of Anne Bonny as fact, and you are doing a splendid job at it, for whatever that’s worth to you.

Yoda
A quick google does suggest yoda's full name is Yoda D'kana. I noticed you reverted the anon's edit that added this, is this something that has already been discussed and dismissed? I've reverted your reversion, but feel free to re-revert if it's been decided against. --W(t) 06:34, 2005 Jun 8 (UTC)
- Well, I hate to use Google as a gauge of anything, but "Yoda D'kana" returns precisely 137 hits. Most of these also describe Yoda as a "whill", which is already debunked in the article. Furthermore, if "Yoda D'kana" were indeed Canon, I find it hard to believe it would take this long for someone to add it to the article. I'm not about to get into an edit war over the subject, however; if I'm right, the diehard SW fans will no doubt correct it in short order. -- Hadal 06:39, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry I don't think I have vandalised at all, the only thing I have ever edited on this site was a missing translation of a catalan word, (camp nou meaning new stadium, rather than being the actual name of the stadium, and as I'm studying catalan I thaught I would at least know this simple translation) That is it, I didn't think that was vandalism, but I'm sorry if it was!

I wonder if you wouldn't mind blocking 198.74.20.73, if he hasn't been blocked already? He's the alterego of 198.74.20.75, who was blocked yesterday. The user isn't doing anything but harassing Boothy and me by vandalizing our user and talk pages. Thanks. - Jersyko talk 19:34, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
Edit/delete conflict
Hi, you just erased an attack page created by an anonymous user. I was viewing the page at the time you deleted it, and put a speedy deletion tag on it a few seconds after you erased it. That edit recreated the page, so you're going to have to delete it again. Sorry about that. Mr. Billion 03:46, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Re 152.*.*.* that you just banned.
Thanks for the block; hope he doesn't continue in 30 minutes :) ral315 04:39, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

Moving Comment to Talk
Thank you for moving my comment on Zhuge Liang to the Talk section. I didn't even know that such a section existed or I would have put it there to begin with.
Discussion at Talk:Pakistan
Would you like to join the animated discussion on the Pakistan's talk page? The current issue is whether "Pakistan is famous for its support of Taliban and 9/11 terrorist" is a suitable sentence to start the article's first paragraph. Your contribution would be much appreciated, as the current discussion seems to be more of a dialog between Ragib and SamTr014 (talk • contribs). Thanks !--PrinceA 06:22, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Liquefied natural gas
I have an anonymous contributor, 70.19.21.89 & 70.18.205.35 adding information about Cheniere Energy to the LNG article. I think he wants to promote the stock. He has put it in twice, and I have ripped it out twice. I have added notes on my removal, and with the second one opened up the discussion page, Talk:Liquefied natural gas, and put in my feelings. 1) Please review the situation and tell me if I am out of line. 2) How do I lock an article? Thanks! WikiDon 23:14, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
That was not a test
Hadal, please read the discussion section of kalaripayattu before you revert it. The history that is currently on the website is not accurate and is considered a fabrication. There is no evidence historically to what the site states.

The Weight of Wallace's Sword
Hadal, regarding your reversion (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=William_Wallace&diff=15400703&oldid=15322402), I must ask, "Do you realize that a sword weighing 60 lbs. would be impossible to lift and swing over extended periods of time?" Wallace's sword did not weigh 60 lbs. Adraeus 04:12, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, I was just joking with you! Don't take that jab seriously especially five days after the incident... I just returned from vacation actually and the William Wallace article is about the last article I care about, so I was just checking up on it. Adraeus 05:54, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
vampyroteuthis illustration...
Hey there,
I'm a fellow Torontonian but currently residing in landlocked Milan, where I've been researching marine illustration. I noticed that you uploaded an illustration to Wikipedia on the vampyroteuthis... is it the main illustration, the antique looking one in black with red eye? If so, could you tell me anything about it, where it comes from?
cheers, Geoff, Milan
Fish article
I was working on the Horseface Loach article in which you had added some information on at one point. I was wondering if you had the source for your information? You made the claim that it has never been bred in captivity, which is a pretty broad assertion. I'd just like to check it, but I don't know what your source was. — Ram-Man (comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new)) (talk) 13:09, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
