Islamic view of Aaron page problems
I got a new message for my last change, telling me the changes I made to Islamic view of Aaron were unconstructive. May I know why? Is there any possibility of reverting the changes? User:Imadjafar —Preceding undated comment added 18:45, 17 November 2010 (UTC).
- You misspelled a word by changing it from narratives to aarratives which is why I reverted it. Every other edit you previously made was not vandalism expect one until the last one and that's why I reverted it. You also changed some information without explanation. WAYNEOLAJUWON 18:54, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Catenanuova
I am sorry I dont understand how this constitutes vandalism?I have asked twice the intervention of TWO administrators for dispute and content resolution.I have DONE EXCATLY as you asked by providing an edit summary and have provided 3 references in total one of which clearly refers to the AM response that this temperature is not official in Italy.Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Weatherextremes (talk • contribs) 15:23, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
- You removed stuff and added stuff without informative explanation. You may also want to see WP:Vandalism to see what is vandalism and what is not vandalism. WAYNEOLAJUWON 15:25, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
I MUST REPEAT that I have provided explanations of my references and edit summary from the time I was warned onwards.Much earlier I have asked the intervention of TWO administrators for content and dispute resolution!Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by Weatherextremes (talk • contribs) 15:29, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
- Please report this at WP:Edit filter/False positives/Reports. WAYNEOLAJUWON 15:32, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
- Wayne, you shouldn't be sending someone to the False positives page if they haven't triggered the edit filter. This is a content dispute, plain and simple, and moving it to the False positives page just had the effect of making the situation more confusing for all of us. —Soap— 09:06, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi,I have already reported this.Any idea on when I should expect to hear from them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Weatherextremes (talk • contribs) 15:47, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
- Just wait a few minutes and they will answer you. WAYNEOLAJUWON 15:51, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
- A few minutes? Nobody is online 24/7 and some people don't have time to login more than a few times per week. And like I said the False positives page is not a good place to talk about content disputes. —Soap— 09:06, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- Where can you report this if it's not the false positives page? WAYNEOLAJUWON 20:57, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Protection
You're doing well, but please can you note that in cases such as this, this, there is no need to request protection: a block will do. Thanks. WilliamH (talk) 19:11, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
- After a user has been blocked I don't need to request protection of those pages and other pages that get vandalized after a user is blocked. WAYNEOLAJUWON 19:15, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
- You're right - but I mean that requesting page protection isn't really appropriate when the vandalism is a single IP or a vandalism-only account. These are cases where reporting to WP:AIV might be better. Cheers. WilliamH (talk) 22:03, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, I get it. Cheers, too. WAYNEOLAJUWON 22:04, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Atomic orbital material
message to User talk:71.217.73.148
I see that you were adding a lot of informtion to atomic orbital that was simply mathematized versions of what is already discussed in the main article. I've moved it to an old version of spin-orbital, see here. But the math probably isn't appropriate here, but in the Schroedinger equation wiki. So don't be disheartened. Use the talk page.
To other editors-- this editor was obviously adding material in good faith, but has been bitten and treated a bit shabbily, unless I've missed something. What he was doing certain wasn't vandalism.
SBHarris 01:46, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Pejorative.
Why did I get a warning for vandalism for editing Pejorative? I dont think this was appropriate. I was undoing the work of a bot that got my edit wrong as an act of vandalism. 220.101.4.140 (talk) 15:51, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- Did you report it as a false positive? You were supposed to also put a reference. WAYNEOLAJUWON 15:52, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
I put a reference in the page history section. On a further note, I dont think I should I have to go through the effort of logging a false positive with the bot? I undid the edit twice and it just keeps on reverting it. 220.101.4.140 (talk) 15:57, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- Because it thinks your edit is vandalism and that's why it keeps reverting it. It should know that Wikipedia is not censored if it doesn't know already. WAYNEOLAJUWON 15:59, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
Well imho maybe the owner needs to fix up its code.. just makes normal users give up on fixing or adding the occasional bit of (hopfully) useful information while reading pages. 220.101.4.140 (talk) 16:02, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- He undid his edit and I'm talking about Acather because he just undid the revert he did to your edit because he knows Wikipedia is not censored. WAYNEOLAJUWON 16:05, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
Help!
Are you an admin? Because User talk:67.71.137.134 is vandalising like madness! Do something! RomeEonBmbo (talk)—Preceding undated comment added 19:48, 14 November 2010 (UTC).
- I'm not an admin but I will report him. WAYNEOLAJUWON 19:50, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you! What was their problem anyways? There was someone else making edits with him, are you going to report him as well? 19:52, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- They were vandalizing. Which other user other you talking out? WAYNEOLAJUWON 19:53, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

User warnings
Suggestion for the future: When issuing a warning to a user who is engaged in vandalism, edit warring, or the like, please look at the user talk page to see if there are previous warning messages, check the block log for previous blocks, and provide a message that fits both their history and their recent actions. It seems incongruous that you issued a level 1 warning at User talk:Editermaster12345 just 25 minutes after my "final warning" (which was not templated, and was in the "November 2010" section instead of the new section that Sinebot had created). For what it's worth, I have blocked the user. --Orlady (talk) 21:01, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- I gave the user the first warning after I reverted it and that's what Huggle did. WAYNEOLAJUWON 21:03, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- Huggle isn't awfully smart sometimes. It failed to notice all the warnings the user had received in the past week. --Orlady (talk) 00:14, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Huggle isn't aware of many warnings out there, either. WAYNEOLAJUWON 00:18, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Indeed, but Huggle doesn't warn users -- it's just a tool that users employ to warn other users. The human (that's you or me) is responsible for teh content of the warning. --Orlady (talk) 00:28, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

L Kensington
I think you're overreacting. I'm tired of him beating me too (I now know when to use Huggle), but it's not a big deal. That, and wishing for him to retire is immature on your part (no offense). --Dylan620 (t • c) 00:24, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- All those messages I sent to him are good faith edits and no offense to those messages because it was all good faith and he's using Huggle like a bot, fast. I hope he doesn't take it as offensive. WAYNEOLAJUWON 00:27, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- It might be good faith to you, but what appears as good faith to you may appear as a personal attack to others. I'm not saying you were attacking L Kensington, I'm simply suggesting how one could misinterpret your messages. The UtahraptorTalk/Contribs 00:29, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- I still learning how to deal with those circumstances because I'm not used to it. You can be beaten to vandalism once in a while but not like a bot, such as ClueBot and ClueBot NG. I need some help and tips in that category. WAYNEOLAJUWON 00:33, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- It's perfectly fine if a user continually beats somebody to reverting vandalism. Although I'm sure L Kensington is aware of other Hugglers, I don't think he's trying to beat them to "steal the show" so to speak. He's simply trying to clean up the encyclopedia, just like all the other vandal fighters. So he beats you to a couple reverts; it's not the end of the world. There will come a time when it is your moment to shine here on Wikipedia, Wayne. You just have to wait for it and be willing to find it. The UtahraptorTalk/Contribs 00:36, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- I will get it, Utahraptor. Probably there's a lot vandalism mostly at night. Which other Huggler has edited from morning to night every non-school day and from afternoon to night on school days? I can only sleep up to a certain hour and yes there will a day when it's my moment to shine. Most of those edits he's beaten me to have come on Saturday and Sunday. WAYNEOLAJUWON 00:39, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- You're on Huggle every waking moment when you're not in school. I find that rather disturbing, Wayne... you made 11,000 edits last month, and have already made over 8,000 edits this month. Frankly I don't know where you manage to find the concentration to use Huggle for that long... you should take a break, obsessing over Huggle like this is not healthy. Even when I've been using it, it may have been every day, but usually I take the afternoons off because everybody else has things covered. Try doing it in the mornings, perhaps, or during your lunch... more often than not, during that time, the only person you would have to contend with is, well, me. (And I usually do it for a few minutes, then do something else (like actual schoolwork), then use Huggle for a few minutes, then something else, so you would actually have a fair chance of getting some edits in during those periods.) Then take the rest of the day off, do something else, like doing some recreation, or if you can't pull yourself away from Wikipedia, do some newpages patrolling and stuff. The Thing T/C 19:30, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Using the computer all day is not good either, The Thing. My mom even told me don't use the computer all day. I will take a break, The Thing. When I'm not on the computer, I play video games or relax. I did not do this on Wikipedia when I was an anon user. I'll try not to use the computer too much especially since I have to help my dad and I may not make a bunch of edits every day that I normally do because it's bad for your eyesight. I have those huge edit counts each month because I've edited too many hours every day. I'm doing this to help my edit count go up, The Thing but I will take breaks like I said.

The main goal of Wikipedia's users should not be to get their edit count up, Wayne. It should be to improve the encyclopedia, whether it's through anti-vandalism efforts, copy editing efforts, dispute resolution efforts, article creation efforts, etc. If you notice, I only revert vandalism on Huggle for fifteen minutes at a time, twenty at most. This is because there are other aspects of Wikipedia that I can contribute to besides anti-vandalism efforts. Perhaps there's something else you would like to do, Wayne? Perhaps you could work for a WikiProject? Or perhaps you could gather sources and create an article? For example, I am a co-coordinator for the Guild of Copy Editors, and I created and run WikiProject American Old West. Have a look at Wikipedia:Job center to get a better outlook at what things other than anti-vandalism you can do to benefit Wikipedia. Happy editing! The UtahraptorTalk/Contribs 22:17, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- I do edit other stuff on Wikipedia other than reverting vandalism which is edit articles. What is the WikiProject that you, Diannaa, NerdyScienceDude and another user are working one? WAYNEOLAJUWON 22:23, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- It's the Guild of Copy Editors. Feel free to sign up for it if you haven't already. The UtahraptorTalk/Contribs 22:24, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, you said it earlier. I added the category to my user page. How is WP:Guild of Copy Editors? Why does it have a backlog? WAYNEOLAJUWON 22:34, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- The project has a backlog because it hasn't been very active until recently. Feel free to sign up for our November 2010 backlog elimination drive. The UtahraptorTalk/Contribs 22:38, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- What do I do after that? WAYNEOLAJUWON 22:42, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Have a look at how to copy edit articles, then when you feel like you know how to copy edit articles, choose any article from the backlog and copy edit it. Don't forget to add your finished copy edits to the appropriate section on the Drive page. If you want a brief tutorial from me, just let me know. The UtahraptorTalk/Contribs 22:54, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- I do need a brief tutorial. Who do you think is more popular and does better work on Huggle, L Kensington or me? WAYNEOLAJUWON 22:57, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

You're both outstanding with managing vandalism, but it's not a competition. I hope you keep going with that, but like I mentioned the other day, your skills can be used in other areas of Wikipedia also. The copy-editing thing is a great idea. Many of us get consumed with scooping the poop that we just don't get around to actually reading the articles to make sure they're coherent. Dawnseeker2000 02:06, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- I just finished copy-editing an article. WAYNEOLAJUWON 02:10, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- The drives aren't meant to be competitions, Dawn. A competition would be several people competing against each other for one large prize and a couple smaller ones. Rather, the drives are for users to collaborate with each other for the purpose of reducing the size of the copy edit backlog. And sure, the top copy editors do receive prizes, but so does almost everybody else that participates in the drive. The UtahraptorTalk/Contribs 13:04, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- Hey Raptor. I think you may have mis-read my comment. Dawnseeker2000 16:48, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- L Kensington even said that he was busy on weekdays and when I got on Huggle today, he was already Huggling. I think he needs to do something other than Huggling on Wikipedia. He's not a bot to be that fast and I'm not saying that he can't use Huggle is that he should do something else on Wikipedia. This user thinks he's a bot and he's not. He's supposed to be busy and he's not on Huggle because he said that's he's busy. When's he going to stop doing that because he's not a bot? He could use Huggle is that he's not a bot. He may need to know that, Lol. He shouldn't be cleaning up Wikipedia like he's the only user on Wikipedia. At least, other people need to do to it do, not just him. I think he only uses Huggle just to get his edit count up. I do know it's not a competition like you said Dawn. I do not use Huggle to get my edit count. I don't only revert vandalism on Wikipedia. I just need to try to get over this situation and then not feel worried anymore that he or others users have been beating me to vandalism. I can't let that worry me anymore and keep making complaints about him. This user just Huggles to get his edit count up. Why is he like this? He also is getting every revert other there. What type of user does that like he's ClueBot? I will learn my lesson about what happened between me and him and it'll all be settled in a positive way. WAYNEOLAJUWON 20:32, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Wow, nice one
You must be getting your time-to-revert-fact scores down pretty low. How about reading, oh, two paragraphs of an article before reverting factual changes? 111.69.232.213 (talk) 22:03, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- You reworded it differently. WAYNEOLAJUWON 22:05, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, this does constitute editing. Other forms of editing include the removal of words, the addition of words, and the addition/removal of wiki markup. I may have missed something. 111.69.232.213 (talk) 22:11, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Notification
I have given your latest talk page vandal a level 4 warning. Personal attacks will not be tolerated on Wikipedia. The UtahraptorTalk/Contribs 22:22, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, Utahraptor! WAYNEOLAJUWON 22:25, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
Please pay closer attention
I noticed an incidence of vandalism on this page. I reverted the change, upon which ClueBot autoflagged my revision as vandalism, restored the original version, and placed a generated warning on my walk page. I reported this on the ClueBot talk page, removed the warning from my talk page, and restored my edit as ClueBot's message instructed me to do so. You promply re-reverted my change and placed a warning on my talk page. If you had looked closer at my revision, you would have seen that I corrected an instance of vandalism, and you in fact restored the vandalized copy of the page. --24.72.122.184 (talk) 22:44, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Your edit was unreferenced. WAYNEOLAJUWON 22:45, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Wayne, slow down, seriously. That an edit is unreferenced is not a good reason to restore vandalism like this. Besides, he was just fixing vandalism, not writing the translation himself, so someone on Huggle could just as easily have made the same edit, the only difference being that it would have HG in the summary. Please try to think everything through before you do it, even if it means you get beaten to the punch by someone else most of the time. You didn't use to be like this. If you're ever planning to run for adminship, little mistakes like this will cause people to oppose. —Soap— 22:49, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry about that, Soap. I normally do not revert edits if I'm not sure if it's vandalism or not. WAYNEOLAJUWON 22:54, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Please try to think everything through before you do it, even if it means you get beaten to the punch by someone else most of the time. You didn't use to be like this. If you're ever planning to run for adminship, little mistakes like this will cause people to oppose. —Soap— 22:49, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
GOCE tutorial
Hello, Wayne. Thank you for signing up for the Guild of Copy Editors November 2010 backlog elimination drive. Per request, this is a brief tutorial describing the GOCE and its backlog elimination drives.
- Who are we?
The Guild of Copy Editors, formerly the League of Copy Editors, are a WikiProject dedicating to copy editing articles. We hold backlog elimination drives every other month to help reduce the size of our backlog, which is currently over 5,000 articles long.
- What is copy editing?
Copy editing includes, but is not limited to, the following: fixing grammar, fixing spelling mistakes, and fixing formatting errors. Copy editing improves the quality of an article, often in preparation for a GAN or FAC.
- What are backlog elimination drives?
Backlog elimination drives are efforts by the Guild to reduce the backlog of articles needing copy edit. The backlog is currently over 5,000 articles long, and will require several more drives to completely wipe it out.
Further instructions and information can be found on:
- Wikipedia:Basic copyediting
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors

Sincerely yours

My edit was reverted, I suspect it was becuase I removed extraneous content and used a simple but short link? Please check. Thanks, Kim
Hi I was editing the 2011 Oliver E. Buckley Prize Page, Peter Johnson. The links there were for the wrong Peter Johnson. This is a correct link below. Thanks, Kim

- You removed it without explanation and that's why it was reverted because removing stuff without explanation is vandalism. WAYNEOLAJUWON 23:01, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
False positive
There was no need to revert my edits to user_talk:Agradman. I have two declared accounts. AGradman / talk / how the subject page
when I made this edit 03:09, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. I didn't know that it was your alternate account until now. I undid the warning I gave you on your alternate account's talk page. WAYNEOLAJUWON 03:12, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Camel
Hi Wayne, Good work on patrolling Camel. What is it about that poor beast that draws so much vandalism? Idiots. Regards, Acad Ronin (talk) 14:21, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- They're pretty much bored kids coming home from school. WAYNEOLAJUWON 17:12, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Sorry!
Sorry about my edit at The creeds. Will apply speedy deletion template next time. Guoguo12--Talk-- 20:13, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- That's okay, but use {{Db-g7}} when you do that, please. I was letting you know on your talk page but I didn't save it in time before you told me here. WAYNEOLAJUWON 20:17, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I saw it coming... Guoguo12--Talk-- 20:18, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's what you should when he's the creator of the page but if this situation happens on an article he or she created years ago, you should PROD it. WAYNEOLAJUWON 20:20, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- I understand the policy, but I simply can't tell what pages are blanked by their creator from Huggle. Opening the page history in a new window takes too long... Guoguo12--Talk-- 20:25, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, it does happen. People do revert edits by the creator of a page the creator created. WAYNEOLAJUWON 20:26, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Not Vandalism
The previous change was not vandalism. Please do not say that it is. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.194.231.189 (talk) 23:09, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- You're not supposed to edit other people's comments without a good reason why in the edit summary. If you don't explain why, then the edit is vandalism. WAYNEOLAJUWON 23:12, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Huggle and talk
Hi Wayne. I've a question re this edit you made to Huggle. Please could you point me to the discussion(s) that initiated the change? I ask because I have a concern the edit may in a way be counter-productive, but I don't want to speak out of turn, so would like to bring myself up to speed on prior discussions. Many thanks, Trafford09 (talk) 11:06, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
- Gurch and Iridescent didn't want it there so I removed it and before that I asked Jeff on his talk page and he said it shouldn't be there per Gurch and Iridescent. You may ask him about this if you want. WAYNEOLAJUWON 20:30, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Everywhere!
Wayne, I see you everywhere, especially at WP:AIV. How do you spot all this stuff? Do you have a 10,000-page watchlist? Use IRC?
Anyway, thanks for keeping an eye on stuff. --A. B. (talk • contribs) 21:38, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
- I use Huggle and I have made over 1,000 reports to AIV, A.B. I don't have a 10,000 page watchlist and some people may believe that. Your welcome and thanks for the compliment! WAYNEOLAJUWON 21:41, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
- Are you ever on IRC? If so, which channel? --A. B. (talk • contribs) 22:01, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
- I do not use IRC. WAYNEOLAJUWON 22:03, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
- Well, I'm sure I'll see you at WP:AIV. --A. B. (talk • contribs) 22:12, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yes you will, but are any of the other helperbots coming back? WAYNEOLAJUWON 22:13, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
By Who's Authority?
Could you please list articles you have written?Vasser24 (talk) 23:23, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
- It doesn't have to do with your article. WAYNEOLAJUWON 23:25, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

David Papaleo
You responded to my recent edit as vandalism and reverted to old copy. I know which facts are true and not true - which are libelous or false because I am related to David. We would ask that this information be removed - thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tpapaleo (talk • contribs) 23:35, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not censored and it will not be deleted by an administrator unless if the page is vandalism or an attack which is neither. You can't want it deleted just because of this. Wikipedia knows what is libelous and what's not. WAYNEOLAJUWON 23:40, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
