DOS attack threat
An IP address asked for unblocking and tried at the same time to threat with a DOS attack if he/she is not unblocked. Do you believe in those threats? I think those threats are actually really funny. /HeyMid (contributions) 21:38, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- Every day, I see something on Wikipedia I had not seen before. That threat was today's new thing. TNXMan 22:44, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
MBLAQ
Hi, I just have a question regarding your edit on the MBLAQ article. You stated that it was overly detailed, how so? Thanks. + TNW 21:43, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- The material read like a teen beat magazine - there is so little other information about the band and their music that going overbaord with material about each band member (and what languages they speak, and what their sister does, and so on) is bordering on undue weight. Look at this edit. That's just too much inconsequential detail. TNXMan 22:52, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
I only want to request a sleeper check as User:TheMicksterD and User:Micky Darwin were blocked today as well as some yesterday if you check the archive. Baby Peter Zaire (talk) 16:35, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
Hmmmm....
[1] A bit odd for a new user to request such a thing don't ya think? Ya got me on the edit conflict though :-) Jmlk17 16:54, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
- What? Suspicious? No.... :) I've reopened the SPI mentioned in the header above this one - it looks like there are a few more accounts floating around. TNXMan 17:23, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
- Doesn't surprise me one iota. Jmlk17 06:33, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Thank you kindly for the page protection
.. on Squirt. I've been working on keeping uncited and unnoteworthy stuff off of the page for a while now as part of my attempt to get the page renovation moving. I was just thinking about asking someone to protect the page earlier today when I had to revert more vandalism, but you or someone else who talked to you seemed to have arranged it already. So, thanks for edit protecting the page. Spinoff 20:13, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
- No problem. I can't take all the credit though - it was User:dffgd who reported the page to WP:RFPP. Cheers! TNXMan 20:17, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
Make a Page
how do i get to the part where i can get started making my page —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimsisk63 (talk • contribs) 01:12, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Revision delete request
Thanks for blocking Dotman17 (talk · contribs). Could you please revision delete this edit of his? I'm new to this so if this is outside of policy or if there is a separate noticeboard to make these requests please let me know. Thanks! —KuyaBriBriTalk 19:30, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hmm. I guess this would fall under WP:RD2. However, I really don't see this as over-the-top vulgarity or incivility that needs revdel. I would see it as more of the "ordinary" incivility (although it's a sad commentary on what is accepted as "ordinary"). I hope this answers your question and please let me know if you have other questions. Cheers! TNXMan 19:36, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- I understand what you're saying, but I will ask another admin (probably NawlinWiki since he is currently the admin most visibly using revdel) for a second opinion. This isn't a knock on you, nor will I be canvassing until I get what I want; I just want to get a better idea of the proper use of this relatively new feature. Thanks again! —KuyaBriBriTalk 20:04, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- Not a problem. I am hesitant to use revdel in anything except the most blatant cases - the first official notification I saw about the feature threatened immediate desysopping for improper use. Not something of which I'd like to test the boundaries! TNXMan 20:12, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- Looks like Nawlin went ahead and did it. I don't blame you for taking your position, though; if I were an admin and was threatened with immediate de-sysop for misuse I'd probably react the same way. Cheers! —KuyaBriBriTalk 20:31, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello, the above two accounts are suspicious and I am not sure what to do. They both appeared and their first and so far only edits (other than a nonsense edit to create a blue user page) were to a very obscure and highly contentious BLP (now deleted) that was mentioned Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Leonardo777 (was moved to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mister Baba O'Riley/Archive. Active Banana (talk) 20:54, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
- I will look into this later this evening, as I am about to walk out the door from where I am. Thank you bringing this up - at a glance, it's very suspicious. TNXMan 20:58, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
- User:BennyTheKidByte has requested that the article be moved to the incubator. While a new account, clearly not a new user. Active Banana (talk) 21:09, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
- OK, here goes. I've blocked both the accounts because of the similarities to previously blocked accounts, namely the edits regarding King Punisher and the random letters on userpage. The checkuser was run yesterday and the accounts were created today, which is why they didn't show up on the check. Hopefully that will settle things down. Cheers! TNXMan 23:13, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello. You might want to add User:Jamie Fann to the list and maybe consider a range block too: User_talk:De728631#SPI. De728631 (talk) 18:59, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Banker's Academy
Hi Tnxman307,
Thank you for the work that you did to improve this page. Now that the content has been removed, do you think it would be okay remove the advertisment tag on the page? As to avoid receivieng a similar tag in the future, do you have any suggestions on what type of material is appropiate? Thank you! Prowriter16 (talk) 18:58, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
- I still feel like the tone of the article isn't really .... right. There's not really a lot of independent sources or other material. It's just a brief overview. Anything you add should be sourced to a good reliable sources. You might be able to remove the advert tag, but it still needs work. TNXMan 20:59, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
User talk:188.28.72.44
There's no point telling IP editors to contact Alison as it is impossible - her talk page is semi-protected, with no visible alternative means of contact. As it is, I've been forced by her actions to out my IP. Not acceptable behaviour. That IP had never made any previous edits, and it is from the largest mobile internet provider in the UK. One of the reasons I've semi-retired and just do a few edits logged out is to avoid being drawn into disputes with admins, but Alison, who has a stated wish to stop all anon-editng, seems intent on making that impossible. DuncanHill (talk) 12:39, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
- You are correct about contacting Alison - I'll head over to the IP's page to give them the arbcom email address so they can request a review. Apologies for that, as I wasn't aware her talk was semi-protected. As for the block, there's not much I can do - blocks with {{checkuserblock}} as the reason have to be referred to arbcom, per this note. Cheers! TNXMan 12:46, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
- Then they ought to tell blocked IPs that, instead of giving an incorrect notice when they try to edit. DuncanHill (talk) 12:48, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
- That's a fair point. I'll head over to AN in a moment to see if there are any ideas. I think the quickest way to avoid this in the future is to alter {{checkuserblock}} so there is a note with the arbcom email address for anyone caught in collateral damage. TNXMan 12:54, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Could you explain please?
You said on UAA that "This noticeboard is for blatant violations of the username policy. Consider taking this report to the conflict of interest noticeboard". The name I reported is an abbreviation of the blog the user is spamming with a newly created article and also on another established article so IMO it is a promotional username that is why I brought it to UAA. Could you explain why it should go to COIN thanks. Mo ainm~Talk 22:23, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- I think the key word there is "abbreviation". It's not an explicit company/website name. Now, they may be blocked for spamming, if they persist with the same edits they've already made. I generally don't see abbreviations/acronyms as blatant violations of the username policy. I've left the report up because in cases like this, other admins may have differing opinions and may still come along and act (or clear the report). I hope this makes sense, but please let me know if there are further questions. TNXMan 22:34, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- No that's fair enough thanks, another admin has blocked the user. Mo ainm~Talk 22:37, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

I returned two of the links that you deleted. The Stained Glass Museum at Ely Cathedral.... definitely not to be deleted! As for the Canadian database with over 2,000 pics, that also looks useful. Amandajm (talk) 12:57, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

This is only on the educational purpose.Vicond2 (talk) 03:10, 6 August 2010 (UTC).
You will find the name of the singer on various articles on wikipedia.I only want to contribute with her biography.
- The article (when I came across it) was completely unsourced and contained statements like "One of the most beautiful voices of the cuban song today", which is very promotional. Please read our info on writing your first article and what constitutes a reliable source. TNXMan 11:41, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Why deletion?
Hi tnxman307. Was wondering why you deleted the contribution I entered on the postcodes article Talk page - Thanks Bandinage (talk) 19:04, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- It was restoring content posted by a banned user, Garydubh. To be honest, I find it a little suspicious that the content was re-added. Any posting of material about competing designs for the postcodes is usually a red flag that Garydubh is trying to evade his block. TNXMan 19:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for fast response, Tnxman. I didn't restore the exact same content - I changed it considerably from the first submission. And whilst you may be a "little suspicious", it doesn't necessarily mean your suspicions are well-founded. Let me explain why. As you'll see, I've contributed to the topic previously. And on other topics. I would also disagree with your assertion that posting of "material about competing designs" is usually a red flag. I think you should have said "material about one competing design". An examination of contributions by your banned user would all point to the advocacy of one specific solution from one specific company. I chose the section heading quite purposely in talking about competing designs (plural) that have publicly launched as alternatives. The first poster mentioned three or four competing designs if you recall. I also said that I was omitting the company names purposely. Is that consistent with the writing pattern, tone and style of your banned user? I'm more than happy for you to run a check user thing on me if you wish. And if you don't want to restore the deletion, that's fine by me too. It'll stay deleted, unless you choose to change your mind. Thanks. Bandinage (talk) 21:13, 5 August 2010 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by Bandinage (talk • contribs) 21:08, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I've restored your edit - I think that a checkuser would have turned up your account by now if you were a user evading a block. Cheers. TNXMan 02:48, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for restoration. The first posting also mentioned three or four competing designs as well. So that user was probably banned unnecessarily. I'll leave that for you to consider. Bandinage (talk) 20:59, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
Request for recreation of deleted page.
Hi Tnxman307 - I wondered if you could help build, structure or authorize the rebuilding of the Kyle Bobby Dunn page? There is new links and citations I'd like to add to it.
Henchren (talk) 05:20, 7 August 2010 (UTC) Henchren
- Looking at the userfied article, I still see problems that need to be addressed before the article can be moved the main space. Phrases like "a unique and delicate tapestry of dramatic and emotional textures" and "the tender age of 12" really have no place in a neutrally written encyclopedia. Also, you need to integrate the references listed at the bottom into the article. See this page for more details. Also, a press release isn't really a reliable source. Once those issues are addressed, we can take another look at the article. TNXMan 14:33, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
See below
Hiya,
I hope I didn't do wrong on User talk:98.195.149.177 by suggesting they {{unblock|see below}}? It just seemed the simplest way of explaining the trouble about links within the template. Hope that was OK. Chzz ► 20:19, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
- No, that was no problem at all. I made a mistake and replaced the first unblock template (the one in your message) instead of the one below it. I actually think your suggestion is a good idea for users who are new to template usage. TNXMan 20:22, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. Chzz ► 23:36, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
Parmigiano Reggiano
I don't wish to question your decision and in the end I agree that we disagree; however, the article clarifies that the name is trademarked... Consider this a pour parler. Salvio Let's talk 'bout it! 20:44, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for the note. It's an odd concept (to me, anyway) that the name of a region can be trademarked. I've left another note at UAA inviting more opinions, as I understand your position, but I still am not sure if this qualifies as a blatant violation. TNXMan 20:59, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
- That makes two of us: that's odd to me too (but they're a powerful lobby).

The article is on my watchlist. I notice that your removed protection from the article. I hope that you have watchlisted it to see how it goes. I will watch it too. Some of the most widely read NASCAR articles like Dale Earnhardt are strong vandalism targets for people who like the criticize the sport. The sport has declined a bit in the last two years and interest has somewhat waned, so a test is reasonable. I'm okay with this test - as long as it is carefully watched. I notified my fellow WikiProject NASCAR members and requested them to watch it too. Royalbroil 22:02, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
- I do indeed have it on my watchlist. I was actually surprised at how little there was to see, edit history-wise, over the past month or so. Was it due to the semi-protection? Possibly. We'll have to wait and see. TNXMan 23:29, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
- Probably due to the semi-protection, although I ignorantly hope that means the article is in fairly decent shape. The article used to be vandalized picking on NASCAR fans or agenda pushers. Royalbroil 00:07, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
Unprotection request
I request unprotection of {{Command & Conquer series}} based on the fact that no dispute exist any more. The annon who enforced the controversial changes persistently against consensus has vanished and haven't partaken in any talk page discussion, and apart from that annon no one seem to have any problem with the current revision. If the annon where to come back when the template is unprotected maybe an user conduct RfC and/or blocking is more appropriate than a full page protection. --MrStalker (talk) 20:47, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- Well, the template was protected in order to establish some consensus on the template talk page. Simply because the IP hasn't edited lately doesn't mean they won't. Let's wait to see what the talk page discussion decides. TNXMan 21:44, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, right. We'll see. My guess is it will be like: "What was the disagreement again?" "Well, nothing really, but apparently tendentious editing is a valid method to enforce minority opinions these days..."
- Whatever. Good night. --MrStalker (talk) 23:57, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Why do you keep deleting my content under "NetHope"
Hi, I'm trying really hard to edit the NetHope article and you keep erasing my edits, which is becoming increasingly frustrating. I'm not spamming the article at all, I'm just trying to make some honest edits and would really appreciate it if you stop hindering my ability to add to it. Thank you. Kris1490 (talk) 15:54, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but the material you're adding is not reliably sourced and is not written neutrally. It reads like an advertisement for the company, which is not allowed. You may want to review this guide to writing your first article, as that may assist you. TNXMan 16:00, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
OK I'm trying really hard to fix the page with better references and better content, could you please be patient with me and let me do some changes without immediately deleting them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kris1490 (talk • contribs) 16:15, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- How about this? Why don't you trying working on the article in a sandbox (something like User:Kris1490/Sandbox)? This way you can work on improving it in a private space without worrying about deletion or other issues. I can even review it for you when you're done. TNXMan 16:18, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
Ok that works, I'll start on it now, using the sandbox name you suggested. Thanks Kris1490 (talk) 16:25, 10 August 2010 (UTC) Could you please take a look at User:Kris1490/Sandbox and let me know specifically what parts look unacceptable? Thanks Kris1490 (talk) 01:39, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Sorry to hassle you again, but I just wanted to make sure you get a look at the page because I would like to get something up by the end of today. Kris1490 (talk) 14:37, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- It's looking better. I've tightened up the article some and made some other tweaks. There are a couple of things I'd like you to check out to help improve the article. The first is {{cite web}}. You can use that template to help format your references and make them look tidier. The second is this guide to reliable sources. You've cited some sources that are self-published or press releases (this is why I removed the NetHope Academy section). To be a reliable source, it has to be in-depth and independent. TNXMan 14:54, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
I've made some changes, is it ok to post to the NetHope page now? I realize there are still some sources that reference the NetHope website, but I can guarantee you there is no third party source for some of this information (at least not in its entirety) such as the member list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kris1490 (talk • contribs) 15:44, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- If there's no third-party source, the information shouldn't be included. All of the information on Wikipedia needs to be independently verifiable. TNXMan 16:04, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
I understand your concern, but the fact is that many news organizations have included partial lists of the members of NetHope in their articles, but nowhere does a complete list appear. In no way does this information try to promote NetHope, and NetHope would know better than anyone who is a member of their organization. Can we at least reach a compromise where you put a sign at the top of the page that says something like "this article cites questionable sources" or something like that as opposed to deleting the entire thing? I've seen plenty more wikipedia sites that have dubious references or none at all and yet the content is still there albeit with a disclaimer. Kris1490 (talk) 16:21, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Page deletion
Hello,
I am new to editing and am still not sure why you deleted the content I wrote for the Land Use Evolution and Impact Assessment Model page. I have no interest in "advertising" through Wikipedia, I felt that it was important in today's world to have a page for our company. If I rewrote the page in a sandbox and have you review it, would you consider taking the block off of my account so I can edit in the correct manner? Thanks, Leamgroup. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.17.162.171 (talk) 19:42, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- You will need to change your username - your old one is a violation of our username policy. Once you've registered a new name, you can certainly work on improving the article in a sandbox in your userspace. I would encourage you to read our guide to writing your first article though, it has a lot of good tips. TNXMan 19:57, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Red Vines
Regarding this edit: Aren't we supposed to removed unsourced stuff only if it's controversial or likely to be challenged? I don't think either was the case. Şłџğģő 21:26, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, I look at the next paragraph that says "Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed" (emphasis mine). I think unsourced material is very large problem on Wikipedia and should be dealt with appropriately. If our material (not just quotes or extraordinary claims) can't be verified, how trustworthy can we be? TNXMan 21:59, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- Those two directions seem to contradict each other, but never mind. I was just wondering. I'm not heavily invested in the Red Vines article. Şłџğģő 03:52, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- Not a problem. I think everyone has their own issue which they think is the biggest problem facing Wikipedia. Some think it's BLPs, some think it's anonymous editing, etc. For me, I think it's unsourced material. Cheers. TNXMan 11:38, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Christine Valmy deleted page
Dear Sirs,
I am contacting you in regards of the Christine Valmy page created on Monday which has been. It appears that the reason for deleting this page is: (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion: Multiple reasons)
I would really appreciate if you could give me some more information as this page has just been created to give some information about the first esthetics school of the United States. This page created is not a promoting or advertizing tool, I just created as I thought a lot of people might be interested by how the esthetics field has been introduced in the United States.
Moreover, before to create this page I went to different wikipedia pages to see how they were created and what kind of information was given. I created this page as a source of information without advertizing for the Christine Valmy company,therefore, could you please let me know if you want me to make changes on the page so you can re-activate it?
I really look forward to speaking with you.
Best regards,

- The page was deleted because it is advertising for the company. Phrases like "The schools prepare students for the beauty industry, the business world and life. They offer dynamic classes in skin care, cosmetology, make up, nail artistry and spa treatments with the latest advances in biology, chemistry, herbology and nutrition." really don't belong in a neutrally written encyclopedia. I would encourage you to read our guide to writing your first article and guide to using independent reliable sources to support your writing. TNXMan 14:13, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your prompt response. Could you please tell me how could I make changes on this page to re activate it? Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.107.255.76 (talk) 19:39, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Blocked Editing Access
Hi,
I am new to the Wikipedia world, and am in the process of creating and editing the page New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Company. I have received messages from other users and have responded to their requests; asking what I could do to better conform to the Wikipedia guidelines. At this point, the page seems to be identical in format to other insurance company entries; the information is factual and backed by citations. Are there any specific reasons you have blocked my access to edit pages? If the chosen username, {NJMInsurance}, is the source of the problem I would like to know, as you have not provided any explanation.
Thanks, 12.26.42.10 (talk) 13:13, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- Your (former) username is an issue, as it violated our username policy. I left you a message, which is still visible on your talk page. Please read the message I left you, especially the sections about conflict of interest. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be happy to help you out.

I apologize; I did not originally see your comment. I do appear to be stuck. I had no intentions of creating articles other than those connected to NJM. I plan on contacting someone who has no ties to the company, so that the page can be created without any bias, so that it will hopefully conform to the Wikipedia guidelines. However, if working with an editor, how involved would one be able to get? Would I be able to give them ideas of what I was looking for? I am just wondering, because the page seemed to follow the guidelines of other insurance companies, other than the fact that I had a username that was seen as being affiliated with the company.
Also, would I be able to keep this username, and use it to correct false information? I know you sent the link for guidelines, however; due to the issues I am facing now, would my username become blocked from correcting false information posted on the new page?
I was also wondering when the page will be deleted? I want to find an outside source as soon as possible to get the page started under the same name New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Company. I am unsure of whether or not I should mark it for deletion, or if it will take awhile for the new name to become available to an editor.
Again, I am new to Wikipedia and want to make sure that it is done the right way so that the page will not be deleted upon its next attempt. Thank you for your help,

- Well, just so you know, the page is not going to be deleted. There are tags at the top of the page indicating there are issues that may lead to deletion if they are not addressed. Each of the bullet point should have a link that will explain each issue and how it needs to be addressed.
- Your username probably will not be unblocked. That does not mean, however, that you cannot register a new username. I would encourage you to read our page on what to do when you have a conflict of interest. It has a lot of useful tips for people in your situation. I would also encourage you to contact User:Orangemike. He has edited the article recently and may also be able to help you. You can also mention that you've talked to me.

Thank you for your information and time. I will read those tags, and talk to User:Orangemike. Is there anything I need to post to the page at this point in time; so that people know that the page is "under construction," and is currently being edited, and to not post it for deledtion? 12.26.42.10 (talk) 17:56, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
