Re: Sir flatbelly
You can report vandalism to Administrator intervention against vandalism after the user has received a proper set of warnings. Just add a suitable warning template on the vandal's talk page, and report him if he continues after a final warning (4th level). I've warned Sir flatbelly with the template {{subst:uw-vandalism2}}, so you can follow up with a {{subst:uw-vandalism3}} if he continues. Feel free to ask if you have questions. — Nivix talk 18:03, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Technically the last warning I gave him was for creating inappropriate articles, which he hasn't done since as far as I can tell. However, since he has vandalized before, it's warranted to give an only warning, {{subst:uw-vand4im|Page Name}}, although it is pretty clear this guy only intends to vandalize and not contribute anything constructive. Just for good faith, I've warned him for vandalism and next time just put him on WP:AIV. Thanks for letting me know! I forgot to keep an eye on him. I'm not an admin (unfortunately), but he'll get blocked if he starts mucking things up again. -Cquan (talk, AMA Desk) 17:55, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

(This is Alavian) I'm sorry that you must have mistaken my comment on the Patrick Stump page, but what I stated is true, Patrick stated all this in an interview or something of the like, if you want, I can show you the link. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.95.149.240 (talk • contribs) 2007-06-05T05:04:20 (UTC).

Agreed
The anon also took Nosferatu's name off of the Janitor for concern of the "influence". So it was "justifiable" to take baphomet's name off. (It doesn't make sense to me bcause Jantor monster altho it take influence from RE is original, whereas the Baphomet image is not & not as much as an "influence", but clearly of the 'image of God that Dahlia had'.) But it seemed even more unreasonable to me to add something in that is total fan speculation, because its popular opinion and theory, which does not make it true! There's not supporting evidence for it either, like the theory that the PH is Xuchilbara.
Anyways, altho this is a bit of a nuisance dealing with these kind of fans, there's more important factual tings to SH series that should be writing.

Deletion of David Jeffery Bennett as noteable person
Please note that Mr. Bennett perviously played for the Brewers in 2004. Addtionally, I have since found that there is an addtional entry already in existance for Mr. Bennett here: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Jeff_Bennett_(baseball)
This entry does not list him under his correct birth name as noted in other resources and interviews. I will submit a change to this entry.
You should really do your homework before just deleting entries. Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tmg-studio (talk • contribs) 2007-06-09T16:08:29 (UTC).
- I did look him up, but I didn't see anything on a David Jeffrey Bennett that indicated notability. I have, however, heard of Jeff Bennett; someone would probably have deleted the newer article for the reason that the Jeff Bennett (baseball) exists. To be honest; I am not the one who deleted your article, I am just the one who called it to attention for deleting. This way, it usually takes an editor (such as you or I) and an administrator (who has the power to delete) making the decision that an article should be speedily deleted. Pardon for not knowing Jeff Bennett's real name, but I would say that the best solution is to have David Jeffrey Bennett redirect to the main article, as Jeff Bennett is a name more familiar to others. --健次(derumi)talk 17:15, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Regarding Malcolm (Malc) McGookin
~June~17~ 2007~
I accept that the name Malc McGookin is not "notable" in the sense that the layman does not acknowledge it as a towering colossus of the cartooning genre, however the name is well known in cartooning circles, especially as one whose views are at often at odds with the "establishment", i.e. those who run the National Cartoonists Society in the US, and the US syndicates. The latter act as gatekeepers to newspaper strip cartooning not only in the States but the world over, and the NCS, instead of acting as lobbyists for improvements in pay, opportunites or improved standards of cartoonists, simply act as handmaidens to the syndicates.
The points you make regarding self-editing are noted, I myself did not know that was bad form, I thought it was the norm - there are a number of hagiographic entries which are obviously self-penned- and I tried to keep mine objective and simply fact-based.
You asked me to indicate interviews and I supply a link below, a piece that was completed some time ago and is one of a series which includes many notable cartoonists. Could you please edit my first paragraph to describe me as "British"? My kids are definitely Aussies, but I still am a Brit/Scot at heart, though I am an Australian citizen. Thanks.

- Actually, I do think you are notable - your work in animation and cartooning has arguably been seen by millions around the world, and your controversial opinions (versus "company line" and "mainstream" views) and willingness to make them probably helps add to your notability. One of the requirements for notability on Wikipedia is assertion of such, which is now done; you already were on Wikipedia in other articles, and there are resources about you available to assert it.
- The ban on self-editing by the article subject used to not make sense to me, but a good example on why not actually includes a Wikipedia founder editing his own biography. Sure he knows a lot about himself, but he's also a bit loathe to have the less flattering details noted. So it does make sense.
- Thank you for the link. I can change the article bit to describe you as British; there should be no problem with that. My mother might be an American citizen, but she is still an Okinawan at heart. --健次(derumi)talk 18:38, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting (twice!) the vandalism of my User Page. You were really quick. Congratulations on your reflex :-) --Friendly Neighbour 16:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- You are welcome! I am glad to help. I got a bit lucky; I usually check the user contributions to see if there's anything else that might've been missed — that's when the second attack occurred. --健次(derumi)talk 16:22, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- Funny, because I also logged in for the first time today right after his two vandalisms. The two top edits I saw on my Watchlist were your revert on my userpage and your warning for the vandal. Interesting coincidences do happen. --Friendly Neighbour 16:32, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you X 100
Thank you very much for supporting my RfA, which closed successfully yesterday... W00t! I hope to be a great admin (and editor) and I'm sure you can tell that my use of a large, boldfaced, capital "T" and a big checkmark image in this generic "thank you" template that I swiped from some other user's Talk Page that I totally mean business! If you need anything in the future or if you see that I've done something incorrectly, please come to my Talk Page and let me know. So now I've got a bunch of reading to do.... see you around! - eo 13:38, 22 June 2007 (UTC) |

Mmbabies
Thanks for helping reverting some of the pages vandalised by 68.94.98.93. In case you didn't know, that IP was one of almost 100 (yes, 100) handpuppets of Mmbabies, who was community-banned for shenannigans just like these. I suggest you take a look at his rap sheet. Thanks again. -- azumanga 02:26, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Tatsumi-ryu
Checking Fred26 09:46, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I've tried to be polite and reasonable with this person, but it can be frustrating. I was hoping to cite to them something I read when I first joined wikipedia - it said something like "don't add to wikipedia if you don't want your writing to be mercilessly edited." I haven't been able to find it again, but this editor from Tatsumi-ryu would do well to keep it in mind. And in my opinion, any input from their headmaster would have to be dismissed as original research, so that is a problem, as well. Bradford44 14:08, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: Ben Crawley Article
Thank you for your help in deleting this page, Derumi.
It was set up out of spite by children who know this person, and thank you for helping this content to be removed from wikipedia.
How long will it now take to have this page removed, Derumi? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2007-07-03T20:30:42 (talk • contribs) Rotationaldoctor
- It shouldn't take longer than a few hours at most. If it really distresses you, I can try to locate an active admin who has free time to act on it. Also, if you could please sign your posts in the future, it's just four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. That way people have an idea of who left a particular message in the talk sections. --健次(derumi)talk 20:34, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- I would be very grateful if you would be so kind as to find an active admin to speed up the deletion of this page, it has caused offence and upset to those involved and I act on behalf of the victim of the attack in working for its deletion. Thanks also for the info about the tidles! I am learning lots of new Wikipedia things quickly! Rotationaldoctor 20:39, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- I forgot to mention that colons at the beginning of lines are also handy for making indentations. Many like to use them for readability. I've brought the article up to some other editors in a chat, perhaps one with admin permissions will see it and act on it soon. Hopefully your experiences here become much nicer than how they started. --健次(derumi)talk 20:41, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for mentioning the article in that chat, and for the tip about the colons. I'm very glad to be here and would like to contribute fully to this fantastic project. Those who were responsible for the article are being dealt with by one of my colleauges at school. Thank you for your reassurance and help over this issue, and I'm sure it will soon come to a full and speedy resolution. Rotationaldoctor 20:48, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

title pages
Thanks for your help Derumi! For future reference, how do I make sure that the title page of my entries are capitalized properly? User5487 19:21, 6 July 2007 (UTC)user:user5487
- Generally, you just need to make sure that when you go to the address to create the article, that it already is capitalized. Before you click on 'Start the (article name) article', make sure the name looks exactly how you want it to. If not, you can just change the name in the address bar, and it should update the link for you. Then you can click the updated link and start your article under the correct name. You'll also want to check and make sure that the article you're starting isn't already under another name. Sometimes people might know a particular topic by one name, and the main article is under another name. Also, if you ever need to indent when you reply to another comment, just place however many colons you need at the beginning of your comment line. I see you are a quick learner and have already figured out how to sign. :) --健次(derumi)talk 19:34, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Re: Alanna Shelast article
I'm a very new user so I am unfamiliar with all protocols and precendents, but, I do believe this person warrants at least a one sentance blurb about her placement on Canada's Next Top Model Cycle 1
Do not ALL the second place finishers on ANTM have a page, by virtue of their placing second? Is there an official preference for Americans over Canadians and this is why an American who places 2nd on this show is noteworthy whereas a Canadian in an identical situation does not deserve a mention??? That's a bit harsh and biased and not within the spirit of this archive don't you think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Titomarvin (talk • contribs) 2007-07-07T04:10:48 (UTC)
- I've only posted the notice for the speedy delete on your talk page; I am not the one that issued any of the requests for deletion to that page. The discussion for the proposed deletion of the article is here: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Alanna_Shelast. The article had been deleted a total of 4 times, the latter deletions were because it was re-created after there being a consensus for deletion. If you think there is a good argument for the article to exist, you may wish to discuss it with one of the admins who have deleted the article, or propose it for creation here: Articles_for_Creation. --健次(derumi)talk 04:39, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Edit Warring at Tennis lists
Greetings,
I have already asked Mr. Fyunclick or whatever his alias is to stop and talk about this, but so far he has insisted that he is right about everything and won't negotiate.Ryoung122 21:12, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know what else to do. All was fine and I barely ever posted in either group... just a tweak here or there. Then RYoung ungreyed all the players and insists on numbering non-slam events. After much contemplation I thought if I let the ungreying stay maybe that would satisfy mr RYoung... it has not and he has constantly hit me with personal attacks on my character (which I'm sorry to say I have hit back with.) It's far from my choice since it opens up all kinds of weird edits but I am willing to let the ungreying stay but not the numbering of non-slam events. I can stop posting in the discussion so people won't have to see me respond to Mr RYoungs posts but I can't let the numbering stay. Most wikis I write to seem to use the discussion to fully vet out what would be best "before" changes are made. The group works out a game plan, without changing the status quo, and only after a super majority agree will the site be updated (at least when disputes are happening). Mr RYoung appears not to follow that doctrine and I'm at a loss why. Fyunck(click) 00:12, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion: let's let this cool for a bit.

i'm not violiting the nuetrial point of view buddy
Bonham is not "arguably" the greatest. Just because a few ignorant idiots believe so does not mean it's a fact. Seriously if you put this in Bonham's article, then yuo might as well put it in every other person who is regarded as one of the greatest on ther instrument's articles. Now stop this or i'll have you banned. Zephead999 19:45, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, yes you are. You cannot make claims for Led Zeppelin or John Bonham being inarguably the greatest without support any more than I can make a claim that Ween is. I note that you have been warned previously for editor attacks and violating neutral point of view. --健次(derumi)talk 19:55, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
What? You don't think he is one of the greatest? If that's the case then it's laughable, but seriously untill you put "arguably" for the rest of the musicians that are regarded ast he best, then the "arguably" in John Bonham's article is being left out. If you continue to edit i will contact the owner of wikipedia have this sorted out. Zephead999 19:59, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Just to make you aware, he has already been reported for violating 3RR here. He has done it to multiple articles already (today, alone), but has only been reported for one. BsroiaadnTalk 20:02, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Fale warning tags
Please do no post false warning tags on my talk page. I'm not some newbie, I know what I am doing, and fake little warning tags telling me not to do behavior I am not doing are completely pointless. I will assume good faith here and assume you didn't look at my posting history, or that you are new and clueless, or something like that and not assume that the tag was put there solely to be harassing. In the future, though, you should be more careful. DreamGuy 20:47, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- It's a real warning tag. Please read WP:3RR, and you will see why your behaviour may apply to this policy. Assuming good faith does not mean calling me clueless and presuming that I haven't looked at your posting history. Please note that the 3RR policy does say: Editors may still be blocked even if they have not made more than three reverts in any given 24 hour period, if their behavior is clearly disruptive. This particularly applies to editors who persistently make three reverts each day, or three reverts on each of a group of pages, in an apparent effort to game the system. Rather than attempting to conduct an edit war under the auspices of 3RR, you should strongly consider open, two-way debate at the articles talk page. Please do not dismiss this warning. --健次(derumi)talk 20:56, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
False warning tags II
Listen, I *told* you not to put that nonsense on my talk page. If you'd read the policy you are quoting you would see that I am not violating it. Insisting on putting false warning tags on my page even after you were warned is clear harassment. Because of your attitude and actions, lack of assuming good faith, unfamiliarity with the very policy yo pretend to be enforcing, it's clear that you are not trying to be helpful, just trying to be irksome. Do not post to my talk page again. Any attempts to do so with be reverted unread as harassment.
I hope that someday you will take the time to read and follow policies and choose to help this project instead of cause problems for other editors. DreamGuy 21:06, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- I've read the policy multiple times, including twice today. It's safe to drop AGF with you as you've already assumed I was a harassing, clueless newbie. If you persist in edit warring at Photo editing, I will report you for WP:3RR — your actions would apply to the passage I've highlighted. Please reconsider closing yourself off to discussion, and participate in the current discussion at Talk:Photo editing. --健次(derumi)talk 21:18, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Next time you revert my edit, have a good reason, and discuss it on John Bonham's discussion page.
You are vandalizing, and I will have you banned. I provided a reason why we should get rid of the "argubly" on Bonham's page. And so far NOBODY has responded, now discuss why it should stay in there in the Discussion page or I WILL have you banned, this is your last warning, heed this advice boy. 71.182.85.70 22:10, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Excellent detective work
Excellent skills. We should notify the original source, if they haven't discovered the mistake. I found several mislabeled images in Corbis, and they were quick to change them. Its a rare skill that you can identify historical people. The way to prevent an image from displaying is to put a colon in front: [[Image:picture.jpg]] to [[:Image:picture.jpg]] Can the image be used in the proper article? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 20:34, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, it was an anonymous contributor that pointed out the mistake (diff here); I did spend some time perusing available photos of both actresses before concluding that indeed was the case. There already is one photograph of Mary Anderson in her article, but I don't see why there couldn't be two. Thank you for the tip regarding images. I usually don't do much with them. --健次(derumi)talk 22:15, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Chihhuahua images
There's a much larger story going on than the previous discussion about the article's images. A new user, User:Chichichihua, intentionally took that "papi" image that was disaproved of through consensus and started inserting it into the article saying that the current image was of a "Boston terrier mix". They then recruited the image's uploader to do it, and have now been constantly been reverting to it without discussion. Generally, I and some others think that this user is a sockpuppet of a banned user that was obsessively trolling Davidshankbone and was banned. They've done no contributing except to remove his image for no good reason against all consensus, try to get him blocked, make rude comments, and generally be a pest. VanTucky (talk) 21:25, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- I've noticed, and actually am aware of the back-story. I have seen at least one comment on another's talk page where Chichichihua has attempted to rally support for his 3RR report against DavidShankBone. I've decided to weigh in with my opinion at Talk:Chihuahua as a matter of record. --健次(derumi)talk 21:33, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
My talk page
Do not post there again with your phony nonsense warnings. All of the examples you cited did not at all meet any of the criteria for the policies you cited. As such they were improper and thus only existed as harassment and bullying. If you intended them in good faith please take the time to actually acquaint yourself with said policies before you try to warn anyone else on them. DreamGuy 15:10, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- They aren't phony warnings if they have some fact behind them. You aren't as squeaky clean as you think you are. 69.19.14.20 18:16, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of Taylor moseley
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Taylor moseley, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Taylor moseley is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Taylor moseley, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Blocking
Who says you can block people? You act like you have some kind of authority. And anyway, i wasn't vandalizing the Adrian Cole page, i was correcting it. If you continue to send me messages i will report you to the police, you stalker. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.5.192.235 (talk) 00:12, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Bruthead is his name though - it's not an insult. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fourfourcandles (talk • contribs) 2007-09-23T18:34:18 (UTC)
- I stand corrected. I will retract the warning. My apologies; I never imagined someone would go by that name, and the phrasing made it appear to be an insult.
- Also, if you could please sign your comments with ~~~~ at the end, it will help other editors see whose comments are whose. You can also edit your signature in your preferences if you wish to personalize it. --健次(derumi)talk 18:50, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Horse racing thing
You are right, something very bizarre happened. Wasn't me. What do you recommend? Is my account being hacked? Montanabw(talk) 17:57, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
I don't think the anon you blamed wrote the addition that you complained about. It was another... Ian Cairns 21:37, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
- The anon in question added a nonsense summary to the talk page, as well as deleted a portion of a legitimate unsigned comment by 203.167.111.153, as can be seen in this diff. This is why I issued a warning to 69.66.56.89, who had been issued 5 prior warnings this month. Let me know if this does not address your concerns. --健次(derumi)talk 23:03, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Malformed sockpuppet report
- Never having socked, or having been accused of socking, I was wondering if i can ask what a malformed sock report is? If I am to understand you correctly, it was filed incorrectly, or was not a valid report? How did you catch it?
- As well, when i filed my initial SSP report, someone said that I should have listed the primary (and indef banned) account, Sixstring1965, as the puppetmaster. I am really keen on doing this correctly, as my last report was so inept it allowed the last sock puppet I caught to escape.
- Sorry, if my questions are a bother, and i certainly wanted to thank you for fixing things. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 07:20, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Misdirected warning
Hi there, it might have been a mistake on your part, but I recieved a message saying that I vandalised "Mark 1" which isn't true. Please take better care in future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Celestialcity9 (talk • contribs) 2008-03-04T17:13:06 (UTC)
- I see no such warnings on your talk page. Perhaps a warning was given to an IP address assigned to someone prior to your attaining it. I'm certain that this is the case, and that the warning was never meant for you. Also, if you could sign your comments, it would make it easier to see who's making them. It's four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your comment. If you wish to indent a reply, it can be done with one or more colons at the beginning of your comment. Have a good day. --健次(derumi)talk 21:34, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
