Done. -- Cirt (talk) 02:36, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Cirt! L Kensington (talk • contribs) 02:46, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now, for the future (as you are a vandal fighter, you are prone to personal attacks/vandalism on your userpage), if you wish to maintain no userpage, I can request that it be create protected, to keep those vandals from creating it with personal attacks. Connormah^talk 04:19, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Really? That would be great! Thanks for helping me! You are a great Wikipedia contributor! L Kensington (talk • contribs) 04:21, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I'll put in a request. Connormah^talk 04:22, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So it shall be written. So it shall be

Done. --Jayron32 04:53, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Jayron, and thanks again Connormah. L Kensington (talk • contribs) 07:34, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, you could redirect it to your talk page (or I can do it for you since it's salted) so at least it doesn't show up in red. :) I can fully protect the redirect for you if you like. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:06, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not a bad idea. What do you think? Connormah^talk 21:05, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

HJ Mitchell, that would be great. Could you? I think it's a great idea. Thanks HJ Mitchell & Connormah! L Kensington (talk • contribs) 02:44, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I created the redirect, per the above comments - although I've only semi-protected it so far. That way you can update it yourself if you decide to create the page ... although if you want full protection, request it. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 02:50, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Viva Macau

Hello. I see that you reverted some edits I made to the Viva Macau page. As currently written, the article oversimplifies a complex situation to the point where it's somewhat misleading. In an effort to create a more balanced, accurate article, I added details that were all backed-up by reputable 3rd party external references, so I'm not sure what the issue is and look forward to your feedback. Thank you. Sdmccullough (talk) 02:42, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, I rolled my revision back. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks for making Wikipedia a better place! L Kensington (talk • contribs) 02:45, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Thanks. I actually have more info about the airline that I think can help make this a more informative article (and I also spotted some other misleading statements related to the suspension of operations that I'd like to try to address) so will keep chipping away at it, but do let me know if you spot any edits that seem problematic.

Just a suggestion

I've noticed that you have been editing Wikipedia almost around the clock for the past few days. You're doing a fine job, just be careful about not burning out, okay? -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:39, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I have a horrible sleeping schedule, and I do take alot of breaks. I'm not even tired right now, and it's 3:30 in the morning. But anyways, I'm fine. Thanks for looking out for me. L Kensington (talk • contribs) 07:34, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Admittedly

How do you revert so quickly; I mean, how are you prompted that it's vandalism? Obviously you don't just sit around and hit the revert button? do you? 75.25.175.232 (talk) 01:50, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Huggle. — Jeff G. ツ 01:51, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And this is just another one of your accounts Jeff? 75.25.175.232 (talk) 01:54, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, I also use Huggle and I saw your edit and had something to contribute in response. — Jeff G. ツ 01:55, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. At first I was like, who the heck just sits around and watches these article pages all day long. But it's far more interesting; someone that watches other peoples user pages and responds on their behalf. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.25.175.232 (talk) 01:59, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously Jeff? You just gave me one of these:

Please do not attack other contributors, as you did with this edit to User talk:L Kensington. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. — Jeff G. ツ 01:56, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

for saying this: "And this is just another one of your accounts Jeff?"

On a use page that is not even yours. lol 75.25.175.232 (talk) 02:10, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously. — Jeff G. ツ 02:16, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Saying: "And this is just another one of your accounts Jeff?" constitutes an "attack" ?? Are you a sensitive guy? Niubrad (talk) 02:23, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to be an allegation of sockpuppetry. We take sockpuppetry very seriously around here. — Jeff G. ツ 02:41, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is not even close to a personal attack. Connormah^talk 02:51, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

-==Why are you calling references vandlism?==
-This makes no sense considering wikipedias policy "Common types of vandalism are the addition of obscenities or crude humor, page blanking, and the insertion of nonsense into articles"  How does a reference to a directory that relates 100% to the topic be considered vandlism?  If adding valuable info to wikipedia just gets delated, why would anyone waste time adding any info?  That will just let to a breakdown of the site that is to be build on nothing but user input.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.149.94.247|24.149.94.247]] ([[User talk:24.149.94.247|talk]]) 03:51, 21 July 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-It is obvious that you are adding spam links to the article even though it has been removed. I can easily justify the revert as vandalism because your are adding information that is not beneficial in any way to the article, and would otherwise be considered as nonsense. By the way, sweepsplay.com is NOT a reference and was NOT listed as so. It was listed as a external link. [[User:L Kensington|L Kensington]] ([[User talk:L Kensington|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/L Kensington|contribs]]0
-So you have no real reason to delete that reference other than someone else did it first?  That is fine.  It is sad and I really don't understand it, but it is fine.  I have no dog in this fight.  I use several of these directories and sweepsplay.com is the one I use the most.  I am sure that others would like to find this site that is 100% related to the topic being discussed.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.149.94.247|24.149.94.247]] ([[User talk:24.149.94.247|talk]]) 04:16, 21 July 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-Regardless of who deleted it first, Sweepsplay.com is still considered a spam link. It has NO value to the article whatsoever. For the sake of this argument, I personally visited sweepsplay.com and found no material that gives a user info/knowledge on the subject, besides from the blatant fact that it is a commercial sweepstake website. It is a spam link, end of story. I'm pretty sure users would not like to hear about the thousands of websites of dog breeders when they look up Dogs or see the millions of restaurant websites when they look up food.
-[[User:L Kensington|L Kensington]] ([[User talk:L Kensington|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/L Kensington|contribs]])
-I appreciate the fact that you took the time to research the website.  I don't agree with you about the value, but I do appreciate the fact that now you actually know about the site instead of just blindly deleting it because someone else did it first.  It seems to me that is where the value of wikipedia comes in.  Many people input what they feel is valuable and contributes to the topic.  One may not see the value of one contribution but many others may.  Everyone comes here for different information so what is valuable to one person may seem like nonsense or be irrelevant to another.  I feel that the contribution I made was and would still be valuable to many and those who didn't find value in it, would just ignore it.  It did relate to the topic.
-Think about it like this...Why would someone start researching sweepstakes in the first place?  Many (not all but many) will do it because they are interested in entering some.  That is why I did.  If they are interesting entering them then a list of sweepstakes organized for them would be extremely valuable.  It was for me and this one site in particular because it was free (not commercial).  If the person researching sweepstakes was doing it for another reason, say they are doing a research paper, they may find no value in the link to sweepsplay.com.  That person would just ignore the link.  The presence of that link only adds value to wikipedia and does nothing to deminish the value.
-I have included this link before because I see the value and I am sure that several others will too.  I have fought this issue before because I am trying to help build this user built site.  I thought it would be fun to help add to it, but it hasn't been.
-Again I don't have a dog in this fight so I will not try to push the issue any further other than to say that I think you should reconsider your position.  Have a good one!  I am going to go spend my time entering some sweepstakes and hopefully win some money or prizes.  In this economy, as a commercial roofer, I (and I am sure many others) could use all of the help I can get.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.167.185.92|24.167.185.92]] ([[User talk:24.167.185.92|talk]]) 00:31, 22 July 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-First of all, the link does not add value to wikipedia. It does the exact opposite. Would you really like to see www.giftelectronics.com! Get a Free iPod, Laptop, PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii & Plasma TV stuffed into an article on laptops? Or what about finding lightbulb.com - get lightbulbs 50% off! Buy 1 get 1 free! on a article about lightbulbs. It's called spam. Most people hate it. They're tired enough of finding spam email messages in their inboxes and wikipedia articles certainly don't need it. It's everywhere, from YouTube to Facebook, to text messages. "You are trying to help build this user built site" Once again, it's called spam. Just because Joe Schmo from Faketown, Westovia decided he would launch a website advertising users that they would get an ipod if they submitted their credit card numbers, social security numbers, bank accounts and other information doesn't mean it's a good website let alone a useful one. Most of the time, companies, not individual users, are behind these spam links. I'm not surprised why it hasn't been fun for you. I cannot emphasize enough how much people hate spam.
-"Why would someone start researching sweepstakes in the first place?  Many (not all but many) will do it because they are interested in entering some." Sorry, but your arguement is baseless. If a person looked up BP to find out more about the oil spill, I don't think that they would enjoy finding the BP gas prices for the moment. And yes, a person could browse over the info if it did not interest them, but once again, most people don't enjoy finding websites advertising lightbulb sales when they look up light bulbs. If we were to allow this to happen, we might as well let wikipedia run loose and have comments such as "I like Pie" in the middle of articles pertaining to pie. And unfortunately, I will not reconsider my position on this topic. Not now, not ever. I personally find that those websites are hoaxes, nothing more than to collect information about you so that companies can sell it to other companies and vice versa, but you don't have to agree with me. That is my personal opinion. Having said that, please don't add links like or similar in nature to sweepstakes.com to articles.
-[[User:L Kensington|L Kensington]] ([[User talk:L Kensington|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/L Kensington|contribs]])
-I don't believe that you really can't see the difference here.  I don't think that anyone is truely that obtuse.  Take the lightbulb, and laptops examples that you gave.  If you look up those topics then I wouldn't expect to find listings advertising free lightbulbs and laptops.  If I looked up poker then I would expect to see examples of poker websites.  That fits right in.  If I look up sweepstakes then I expect to find examples of sweepstakes.  That would include free laptop and lightbulb giveaways.  You are taking an abstract search term (sweepstakes) and trying to compare it to concrete search terms (lightbulbs, BP, laptop, etc).  They are apples and oranges.  Physical and immatarial.
-The not fun for me part was in reference to trying to work within the Wikipedia guidelines to help grow it beyond what it is today.  I can see that the site is falling into a rut that will keep it from expanding much beyond the current level.  Don't fall prey to the click mentality.  It is ruining this site.
-"And unfortunately, I will not reconsider my position on this topic. Not now, not ever."....Really?  You know that never being willing to grow or change your opinions means that you will never grow beyond the point that you are now.  It means that you are not willing to put continued thought into any particular topic.  That is a really bad thing in any aspect of your life.  I assume that you are a young person.  In the coming years you will see the foolishness in that statement.  That is true in every aspect of your life.  (I can give personal examples of seeing the foolishness of rasicm or homophobia, in spite of being raised to hold those beliefs.
-After much reflection I have grown passed the beliefs I was taught to be true.)  It goes way beyond this basically meaningless (in the greater sense) of this website known as Wikipedia.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.167.185.92|24.167.185.92]] ([[User talk:24.167.185.92|talk]]) 01:50, 23 July 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-We obviosuly have differing opinions. I personally believe that if we were to let these things happen, wikipedia would be like Google. Search engines are for built for handling these types of information requests if a user does choose to find a sweepstakes website. Wikipedia is not meant to be fun. It's meant to be an informative source of information.
-"You know that never being willing to grow or change your opinions means that you will never grow beyond the point that you are now.  It means that you are not willing to put continued thought into any particular topic... Rest of the paragraph." Sorry, but that's the way I am. I am not going to change my views on this topic, but that doesn't mean that I won't reconsider my position in some cases, but I am certainly not going to reconsider this one. I, for one, certainly would not like to see poker websites on a poker article, nor the everex website on a computer article. There are some cases where these types of websites are warranted when the website is actually notable like seeing eBay when I look at an auction page or Facebook on a social networking page, but even these articles don't provide a direct link to their respective websites, only a link to their individual articles. sweepsplay.com isn't notable at all, and yes, I know you're trying to build it up, but this isn't the place to advertise it. Come to think about it, how many websites do you think will be listed if we allowed people to post them? Thousands, millions, billions, who knows?
-I'm obviously not going to change your opinion on this matter, and you are not going to change mine. So let's stop here.
-We could make arguments to each other about the sky being red, triangles having 2 sides, and how cold the sun is. But in the end, we won't change each other's opinions. I'd like to take the time to comment that you have been very professional throughout this conversation. Thanks for keeping it real.

-I have removed your final warning ([http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User_talk:74.102.20.237&action=historysubmit&diff=374722651&oldid=374722328]) from the user's talk page. As annoying as vandalism is, there is a set procedure to be followed.
-# General Note, e.g. {{tl|uw-vandalism1}}
-# Caution, e.g. {{tl|uw-vandalism2}}
-# Warning, e.g. {{tl|uw-vandalism3}}
-# Final warning, e.g. {{tl|uw-vandalism4}}
-It seems that you issued [[Special:Contributions/74.102.20.237|74.102.20.237]] with an immediate final warning for his first edit, which was a page blank and the inclusion of silly rubbish. In this case you should have issued a level one for page blanking or a level one for factual errors: either <nowiki>{{uw-delete1}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{uw-error1}}</nowiki>. I removed your immediate final warning and issued the user with a caution for knowingly introducing factual errors ([http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User_talk:74.102.20.237&action=historysubmit&diff=374722749&oldid=374722651]) (you should have issed a general note, so mine should have been a caution). I have since had to add a warning ([http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User_talk:74.102.20.237&diff=next&oldid=374722749]).
-If you want a user to be blocked then you will need to go to [[WP:AIV]], and they will want to see a proper warning history. If there isn't one then the disruptive editor won't get blocked. It's like being in the police force: if you want to lock up criminals then you must follow procedure; otherwise they will get off on a technicality.
-Obviously if very serious vandalism occurs, for example racial or sexual comments then you can issue an immediate final warning. Take a look at [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace|this page]], it lists all of the warning templates. If you have any questions, then drop me a line. ••&nbsp;[[User:Fly by Night|'''''Fly&nbsp;by&nbsp;Night''''']]&nbsp;([[User talk:Fly by Night|<i>talk</i>]]) 19:36, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
-Thanks, will do. [[User:L Kensington|L Kensington]] ([[User talk:L Kensington|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/L Kensington|contribs]])
-:I'll have to disagree with the user above (sorry for invading in on your talk page) - we shouldn't be giving out freebies to vandalize 4 times. Use your best judgement - if it appears to be a good faith contribution not in line - then issue a 1st warning. If it looks to be a deliberate attempt to damage the content - it can be appropriate to second warn, then jump to 4th or go to 3rd, then 4th (if the edits warrant it) - why waste your time with a particular vandal that doesn't take not of the warnings and keeps vandalizing? Just my two cents.

-:::::No-one ever said that an immediate final warning could never be warrented. As I said in my very first post on this page: "''Obviously if very serious vandalism occurs, for example racial or sexual comments then you can issue an immediate final warning. Take a look at [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace|this page]], it lists all of the warning templates. If you have any questions, then drop me a line.''" I would have hoped that the rule of common sense would have been applied to fill the gaps. The clear fact of the matter was that <span class="plainlinks">[http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Scissors&diff=prev&oldid=374722227 this edit]</span> did not warrant an immediate final warning. As such I took it upon myself to give a brief outline of the warning protocol. Having followed [[WP:AIV]], I have seen many times that proposed blocks are rejected because proper warnings have not been given. (Obviously, some levels can be skipped in the case of repeat offenders, previously blocked users, very strong personal insults, etc.) Although: Can I just say that '''L Kensington''' does a really good job. I don't question his/her commitment or motives. I just thought s/he went in a bit strong and thought that a refresher was in order. ••&nbsp;[[User:Fly by Night|'''''Fly&nbsp;by&nbsp;Night''''']]&nbsp;([[User talk:Fly by Night|<i>talk</i>]]) 22:58, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
-::::::Yes, I agree, great job. Yes, I did recognize that that edit did not warrant a final warning. Good luck with the rollback.

-::::::I've reviewed the edit above - that could have actually been a second warning. Like I said, just use your best judgement - nothing is worse than the same vandal just wasting your time (where they could be blocked faster). Just my two cents.

-:Also as a sidenote - as you've been doing a great job recently - have you ever thought of [[WP:RFR|requestting rollback]], to enable you to use other automated (and a bit speedier ;)) tools, such as [[WP:HG|Huggle]]? I find vandalism patrol very easy with Huggle - it takes only the press of a key to revert and warn (plus when it gets to 4 warnings, it reports too, automatically).

-:: Actually, I have, I just wanted to make more edits before I applied. I probably will ask for it now. Thanks! [[User:L Kensington|L Kensington]] ([[User talk:L Kensington|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/L Kensington|contribs]])
-:::Sounds good. Keep up the great work. '''[[User:Connormah|<span style="color:#0660ad">Connormah</span>]]'''<sup>'''[[User talk:Connormah|<span style="color:#0660ad"><small>talk</small></span>]]'''</sup> 20:31, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

-::::Yeah, I have. Actually, I already installed it on my computer without the proper knowledge of rollback at the time. I found out that I needed the rollback feature once I installed it (since I didn't read the documentation). It's a bit nerve-wrecking looking at the Requests for Permissions/ Rollback page. Especially knowing that I have only been registered for less than a month. [[User:L Kensington|L Kensington]] ([[User talk:L Kensington|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/L Kensington|contribs]])
-:::::It shouldn't be a problem for you - you have plenty of experience, and from what I can tell, you've got no pressing complaints regarding any mistakes. Good luck.

-== Your signature ==
-Hello, please allow me to draw your attention to [[WP:SIG|our guideline on signatures]], which requires that your signature contain at least one internal link to either your userpage or your talk page. If you could modify yours to abide by that, it would be much appreciated as it helps other editors, particularly inexperienced editors, get in touch with you. Thanks, [[User:HJ Mitchell|<font color="Teal" face="Tahoma">'''HJ&nbsp;Mitchell'''</font>]] &#124; [[User talk:HJ Mitchell|<font color="Navy" face= "Times New Roman">Penny for your thoughts? </font>]]  02:45, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
-:Could you help me? I thought my signature already contains links to my user page and talk page. I visited the [[WP:SIG]] page, but I couldn't find anything that would help me. Sorry if I am doing my signatures wrong. [[User:L Kensington|L Kensington]] ([[User talk:L Kensington|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/L Kensington|contribs]])
