Thanks for the note and the email; I wondered if the asterisk were significant even before I created the thread, but I created it because I simply wasn't sure. Nyttend (talk) 11:53, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Better safe than sorry. Thanks for the quick response. Tiderolls 11:55, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I just realised that I'd forgotten to create the thread to which I was referring; it's now at WP:VP/T. Nyttend (talk) 11:56, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I had seen a related thread at AN/I a week or two ago and was just wondering if there had been technical developments. I'll attempt to find the thread and, if it's relevant, bring it up at the VP thread. Tiderolls 11:59, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi itsZippy -

I capitalized the "h" in Him due to the fact that most every religion agrees that Jesus is a deity. Judaism, Muslim and Christian alike see Jesus as a profit, God or part of God. Therefore under all circumstances any mention of Jesus should; without a doubt be capitalized.

If that is against the rules then please by all means change it. I was just putting it into context of the document it appeared in. If it had appeared in a document that was saying that Jesus was not a deity then I would have not capitalized it, but it did not. Muslims believe that Jesus will be resurrected here shortly. Therefore in that context it makes Jesus a deity and should be capitalized. Thank you 71.170.235.122 (talk) 21:09, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think you meant prophet. Not really as important as the fact I'm not User:ItsZippy. I've messaged ItsZippy and they most likely will respond on your user talk. Regards Tiderolls 21:21, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Tide rolls.

Hello the only reason I edited that section was because when it comes to musical notes the post is false. I thought It was okay to edit something Wikipedia does allow people to make Edits right, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.246.254.161 (talk) 01:06, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You thought correctly; you were allowed to make your edit. And your edit removed cited content. Is hould've noted your edit summary, though. If you have a source (see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources) that refute the content you removed, then state the facts you found and cite them (see WP:Citation templates). Regards Tiderolls 01:12, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again Tide rolls

I wasn't aware you had to do all that to edit a page with Reference. Couldn't I just replace it with other referenced material — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.246.254.161 (talk) 01:26, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that is what I said. Did you read the pages linked in my message above? Tiderolls 01:29, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ok

Well give me a chance to add the reference material. I have no idea why you change it back so fast — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.246.254.161 (talk) 01:43, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

References first, then add content. Not the other way 'round. Tiderolls 01:46, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Malaysian TV

This is my second beg to unlock all Malaysian articles TV1 (Malaysia) TV2 (Malaysia) TV3 (Malaysia) ntv7 Television in Malaysia Radio Televisyen Malaysia. I hate the "continuos temporary lock".--125.25.208.9 (talk) 11:10, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The articles to which you refer have been the targets for continuous disruptive editing. It may be possible that the disruption will cease and the articles could remain unprotected in the future. Based on past experience I find that possibility highly unlikely. In the meantime, you can add edit requests to the talk pages of the articles by using the template found at Template:Edit semi-protected. You could also register an account and, after the account meets the criteria for auto-confimation, edit the articles which are semi-protected. I see that you are adding content that is not supported by sources and have been reverted in many instances. You may find it helpful to acquaint yourself with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines before continuing. Regards Tiderolls 03:39, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker)I keep an eye on a lot of those articles (I add to my list as I find them) because I started following the edits when the ip(s) who hits them hit a film article I watch (which gets hit in every round along with several Malay TV articles). I'm waiting for another round or two of the overlinking, poor english IP (likely a sock of Albert20009) to around to confirm this, but I believe there is a semi-consistent pattern to the timing. Not positive; in school I had a really good eye for number patterns but I'm out of practice so my instincts may be off. But since I know you've dealt with this problem in the past, Tide, I'd planned on letting you know if I found anything conclusive.

Also, the IP in question (the potential sock) has started changing up the IPs they edit under. He/she still frequently turns up under the 125.162 range but he's also started turning up under a different range (can't recall specifically). Final Destination 3 is a pretty good article to keep an eye out for him on; he doesn't always hit it when he comes in but nearly every time. Millahnna (talk) 03:52, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Millahnna. I do appreciate the help that you (and others) have provided by watching those articles. I actually had taken those articles off my watchlist, but the interest shown by this current set of dynamic IPs has convinced me to re-add them. I will certainly be approaching the admins that watch the RFP page if our friend should reappear. If you see the problems first and take care of the situation, then I say "good job". It is entirely possible that those individuals will become bored and leave the articles alone. I hope that is the case, anyway. See ya 'round Tiderolls 04:13, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Tide

Long time, no see. You alright? You gave up the bit? I hope you're ready for Florida. Come watch at our house, we got a new (big) TV. Drmies (talk) 03:45, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Things are good here, mostly. Thanks for asking. I hope you and yours are doing well. Yeah, I did not feel that I was as effective as I should've been as an admin. So many folks expressed their confidence at my RfA and I felt they deserved more than I was capable of providing. I'll content myself with my fake editing and hope that I can, at least, prove helpful as a vandalism scrubber :) Roll Tide Tiderolls 04:05, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

hello tide with all respect my addition to frank zappas grave in the honor and acclaims is truth. go you tube and search frank zappa's memorial sept 18th — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobby marquis (talk • contribs) 07:57, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Bobby...thanks for coming here to discuss the situation. You're slightly missing the point, which is understandable as you are new. "Actual fact" and "reliably sourced, notable content" are separate, but not mutually exclusive, concepts on Wikipedia. If you read WP:Notability and WP:Identifying reliable sources you will have a better grasp of what I'm attempting to communicate. Also, editors are not allowed to use their personal experience, observation or work (blogs, videos, books, print articles, etc) to support their edits. To do so constitutes original research, and Wikipedia relies on secondary sources (mainly) to support its content. I'll be happy to go into furhter detail or provide more information if need be. Also, please type four tildes (~) at the end of your posts to afix your signature. Regards Tiderolls 08:05, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Zappa's memorial September 18, 2011. AVI you tube — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobby marquis (talk • contribs) 08:07, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ok tide..thx for the info..i'll sleep on it..lol its 4 a.m..feel free to watch the vid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobby marquis (talk • contribs) 08:12, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Watching the video is not necessary because I believe you. My belief is irrelevant, however. Without independant, secondary sourcing and some rationale of notability, the content cannot be added. You can also seek the advice of other editors by posting a message on the article's talk page. Frank Zappa is a featured article, so I'm sure the talk page is quite active.

Nominating Patrick Eakins for deletion

Hi,

Thanks for nominating Patrick Eakins for deletion. This has been deleted, but for a different reason than the one you nominated it for. The article was defamatory against the article subject, and as such should have been categorised as WP:CSD#G10, as an attack page. It is very important that the correct categories are used, as attack pages/negative BLPs are considered top priority and are usually deleted in minutes. Non-notable articles can hang around for several hours as admins wade through the (usually) lengthy list of nominated articles.

If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line on my talk page.

Thanks, Stephen! ^Coming... 09:24, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

frank zappa

hello tide can you give me another editors' name? i've read your info. the only secondary person i know that could verify my source is Zappas' sister who is currently writing a book , " My Brother was a Mother" Vol.2. or friend Shirley Fisher who was present at the grave. maybe i need to be walked thru this step by step. yes, i am new to this, but i might be missing something — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobby marquis (talk • contribs) 14:53, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bobby, I was wrong about the Frank Zappa discussion page; it appears that it is not very active. The article is rated as top importance for Wikipedia's Rock Music Project. There seems to be more activity there; you can get to that page by clicking here. I'm at work so I'm just giving you a suggestion for a place to start. In about 10 hours I will be able to give you a more in depth response. Thanks for your patience. Tiderolls 15:55, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're a little bit mad. Why so serious?
