[edit] Baboon grooming

In more than 10,000 edits over more than two years, that's actually my first barnstar given for a real and honest reason (I think I got another one once for just existing). I've long since come to the conclusion that 98% of barnstars are given out as social signals by social WP climbers, a lot like baboon-grooming. Some of the worst admins I've ever seen, have whole pages of them. But again, thanks for one that I'm sure isn't one of THOSE. SBHarris 17:07, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bugaboo (The Flea)

Hello JediLofty, thank you very much for taking the time to contact me.

The reason way I moved Bugaboo (The Flea) was because I placed it with the other Quicksilva games released in 1983. To simply put it, the games are to go in order by year of release (1983) then by publisher (Quicksilva) and alphabetically (B). Complicated? Yeah I agree, but I soon got used to it and I hope you'll soon get used to it as well when adding new games. I hope you understand my reason, it's not a matter of doing something wrong, it's only logical and I'm just meeting guidelines. It's all I can do really.

The page itself is an ongoing one will loads of games still to be added in. I appreciate your work in adding a game that we missed earlier. I am currently working to improve the page, but if you wish to help out then I give you my blessing and if you need any further inquiries on this topic, please do not hesitate to contact me and I'll be glad to assist.

Thanks again and take care. Raphie (talk) 13:52, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok me again, I'm just gonna give you an example of how a new game should by listed in the List of ZX Spectrum games page. Say a made up game, Rage of the Animals, Wikisoft, 1990. First look for the 1990 column, then look at the list and you'll see the games are in order of publisher, so just go to W and slot Wikisoft in between Virgin Games and Your Sinclair. Then if Wikisoft had more then one release in 1990, (say Vandal Busters), then place Rage of the Animals above Vandal Busters and PRESTO! you have added a new game to the list. Hope you'll find this helpful when adding new games. Raphie (talk) 14:03, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:BLP / Icantstayaway

While I agree the practice should be discouraged, as far as I know it's not considered blatant vandalism and thus isn't really appropriate for AIV. Have they responded to anything left on their talk page? xenocidic (talk) 12:22, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

While it's a blockable offense, it's not "blatant vandalism", at least in my eyes - the edits appear to be made in good faith. For example, I heard on the radio the other day that Rihanna and Chris Brown were an item, buying $200,000 necklaces for eachother. Thus while the individual did not properly source the addition, clearly their intentions are not disruptive - which is why I am hesitant to block. I've left a message for the user, hopefully they will respond. If the behaviour continues, feel free to let me know - you may also seek an opinion of a more experienced administrator - I will not consider this to be forum shopping. In any case, AIV isn't the best place for this, I think it would belong at Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard. Thanks, xenocidic (talk) 12:40, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
