The page of Bernard the Arch-elf has been voted to be merged with The Santa Clause. I do not know how to merge, would you by any chance? If so, it would be a great help. Thanks. Rusted AutoParts (talk) 11:27 4 January 2011 (UTC)

deletion of replify entry

Hi - curious as to why the wiki entry I created for replify was deleted. It described the company in neutral terms - it was certainly not blatent advertising. There are Wiki entries for Ipanema Networks, Silver Peak, Riverbed, Expand Networks and many other companies with similar business to Replify, so I really don't understand why their entries are allowed to exist and ours was not. Can you clarify? Regards Paul Moorhead —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.105.102.82 (talk) 22:25, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

The fact that you say "ours" should be a big hint: WP:COI. Wikipedia works on notability. If you work for an organization, you should never write about them as you have an inflated belief about their notability. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 22:35, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

LOL - who do you think created the entries for Exinda, Riverbed, and all the other companies? I can assure you it was an employee. However I do understand your point and thanks for replying. I feel there is an issue of consistency here - our competitors (see Ipanema Technology for example) have entries, so either we should, or they shouldn't. My measure of notability is based largely on the consistency principle - we're either all notable (by virtue of being cited in independent analyst surveys for example) or none of us are. What I can do is to edit the entry to further establish notability based on our significance to the IT sector in Northern Ireland. Would that address your objection? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.37.204.22 (talk) 11:17, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi - could we continue this discussion please. I don't feel that the notability rules are being applied consistently - e.g. http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/McAfee_Personal_Firewall_Plus, or http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Ipanema_Technologies are both pure advertising with no citations at all. I put the entry up for review, but now it feels as if I had gone lower profile it would still be there. Regards Paul Moorhead — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pmoorhead (talk • contribs) 19:07, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

I would recommend against using WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS arguments - the Ipanema article is an unreferenced piece of crap about a non-notable company that should not exist on Wikipedia. Let's go back to square 1: do you work for the company in question? If yes, you clearly have COI, and are not remote from the company enough to understand whether or not it's notable. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 10:39, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Working for a company is a potential COI but that does not make it impossible for me to judge notability - I have worked for many companies and not felt they warranted a wiki entry. By that argument, anyone with sufficient expertise to write an article has too strong a personal interest to reliably judge whether anyone else might be interested. My point was not that the entry was about as worthy as some worthless entries but actually that it had considerably more notability than others and satisfied a need for a link from another independent wiki entry (which I had no hand in creating). But this has been an interesting education in how wiki actually works. thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pmoorhead (talk • contribs) 15:44, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

User at AN/I

Hi. You commented in the last thread at AN/I that concerned user Terra Novus, who signs himself as "Novus Orator". Partly at my initiative, a new thread has been opened there that I consider as simply a continuation of the previous one. Because I consider it so, I've thought it proper to contact each administrator who took part in that last discussion, to disclose the fact. I believe this is an allowed notification for that reason. If you'd like to reply to me concerning this message you can do so here, as I've temporarily watchlisted this page. Thank you,  – OhioStandard (talk) 17:11, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

The talkback template and your editnotice

At REFUND you say Oh, and please note on my talkpage edit notice where it says not to use tb templates . A reasonable request but you should be aware that many users apply the tb tag using scripts like twinkle/friendly and will not see your request. In this case it would be better to have it at the top of your talk page. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 18:43, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

User talk:Anglo Pyramidologist

FYI, I see no block log entry saying this user's TPA was removed.Jasper Deng (talk) 18:16, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

I got called away from my computer. I did it moments ago before I saw this. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 18:27, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Shittyboi024

We generally do allow those blocked for the sole reason of their username being inappropriate to fix that problem by changing their username. If they change their username, we have no reason to block, and that user is offering to change their name. I don't see why we would decline that unblock request. Prodego ^talk 18:03, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

I am aware if that, and have done my share of unblocking for that purpose. Saw some things in both his talkpage and contribs that didn't jive, added that to the nickname to equal no unblock. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 10:37, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

If it quacks like a duck

Then it must be a duck. See http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Greco-Turkish_War_(1919%E2%80%931922)&action=history

The edit warring continues.  Nipsonanomhmata  ^(Talk) 12:00, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Bwilkins, I have made my case in here: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User_talk:78.176.91.37#Your_recent_edits Briefly put, I have nothing in common with the said user. I hope you have some time to check the article where I have been involved in sort of a edit warring. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.103.129.110 (talk) 20:00, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi again, what can I do to prove I am not the said user. Nipsonanomhmata deletes my editings [[1]] or even my comments on the discussion page [2] And again deleting the same comments: [3] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.103.129.110 (talk) 10:04, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Don't make your case here. If it's your IP address that is blocked, then the ONLY place you're allowed to post would be an unblock request on that specific userpage. If you are blocked, and have merely changed IP's in order to post here, you're violating WP:EVADE, which can also get this IP address blocked. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 12:06, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Well, I didn't make any case in here, I notified you, as the blocking administrator, that I have made a case in the "specific user page." --85.103.129.110 (talk) 12:30, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

BWilkins, you and I have been mentioned at ANI regarding this case; see WP:ANI#False sockpuppetry accusation. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 16:50, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Admin help...

Are you an admin? Need some help as Domer48 continues to edit war on WP:Carlingford Lough. He has quoted in discussion page that there is a 1RR but he has made several edits within the last few days. Dispute is over the word 'International' being included in text. Dom has not joinned discussion and discussion is at an impass as 3 for and 3 against removal of term. I have reverted to original prior to edit war but he/she keeps on making the same edit. very very annoying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.33.147.195 (talk) 12:13, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Per this post Could you have a look you need to be blocked. 1 RR per Troubles Arbcom is quite direct, "Clear vandalism, or edits by anonymous IP editors, may be reverted without penalty"--Domer48_'fenian' 13:25, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Eyeballs

Could you keep an eye on User talk:RussNelson as you've had some experience there? Thanks. Toddst1 (talk) 02:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Will do what I can! (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 09:17, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Here's an Idea

Why don't you mind your own business, you arrogant, self-important moron? Even your fellow admins realise that you're a waste of space as demonstrated by the number of times they disagree with you. Do the decent thing and stop bothering everybody. You won't be missed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.210.12.175 (talk) 12:18, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

If you provided an ounce of context to your comment, or even an ounce of intelligent commentary/proof of your claims, I'd be willing to listen to constructive criticism. Otherwise, all I hear is "blah, blah, blah". If you believe all admins people agree, then you're pretty naive. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 23:20, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Read your own fucking talk page you moron. Your actions are constantly questioned by people more competent than you are. † Misericord (talk) 23:35, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

And in case you're wondering, I started editing this site because Rpeh suggested it was worth doing. Having seen how you act, it's clear that it isn't worth it at all. You're a disgrace. † Misericord (talk) 23:37, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
