Transwiki
Hi. :) Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that when you encounter an aticle that seems to be a dictionary definition and a dictionary definition only, the first step (after checking wiktionary to verify that they don't already have it) is to tag it {{dict}}. That will mark it for transwiki. After it has been transwikied (which usually happens within a few hours), it can be tagged {{Db-transwiki}}. It's one of the more complex types of speedy deletions we're likely to encounter. :) I've tagged Football Supporter but wanted to let you know if you encountered such a situation again. Thanks for keeping an eye on article quality! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:59, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
The Soundtrack to My Life (G.A.G.E. album)
I've removed your speedy tag from The Soundtrack to My Life (G.A.G.E. album). The criterion you used Wikipedia:CSD#A7 does not apply to albums: "A7 applies only to articles about web content or articles on people and organizations themselves, not articles on their books, albums, software and so on." You will need to PROD or AfD this article. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 16:57, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
BBC
I suspect sockpuppets are being used. I will report this. --NeilN talk ♦ contribs 15:42, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I've tagged both accounts as being involved in sockpuppetry. Because of WP:3RR I won't revert the article again today but will do so tomorrow as there is consensus among other editors that the material is pushing POV. If the accounts revert again, I'll take further steps. --NeilN talk ♦ contribs 15:59, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Here: Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets. I haven't reported them yet (just tagged their talk pages). Hopefully the behaviour stops after tomorrow (or another editor reverts). --NeilN talk ♦ contribs 16:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
BTW, for reporting vandalism you go here: Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. However what the user is doing is not considered vandalism (this is a content dispute). --NeilN talk ♦ contribs 16:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
The original editor has replied. Please see User_talk:NeilN#BBC_Vandalism --NeilN talk ♦ contribs 17:28, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Suspected vandalism?
Hi, hope I haven't overstepped the mark, but I've reverted a couple of changes (that looked like vandalism) to your user page by other users in the last few days. I've just noticed that you've been active whilst it has happened so let me know if you wish me leave it alone? regards, ascidian | talk-to-me 22:10, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Baltimore Page
I'm a little disappointed about you deleting my edit. I'm not a vandal. I suppose my contribution was arguably not "constructive," but it was cited and somewhat valid. The nickname I added is gaining popularity and not vulgar. This is my main dispute with wikipedia. In their search for neutrality, wikipedia's moderators have completely lost touch with objectivity. Not everyone has a great opinion of Baltimore, and the wikipedia article should reflect that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.68.3 (talk) 18:47, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
List of palestinians
I haven't vandalized the page, but the idiot that includes Jesus Christ in the list does vandalize. He is giving misinformation. I'm just correcting and substantiating the corrections. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.126.224.158 (talk) 17:34, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
List of palestinians (again)
I have used the discussion page first, yet the misinformed person seems not to read the discussions, and still insists in adding a JEWISH RABBI, which is out of any argument, to the list. Please read also about Samaritans. If you find in any history book, or in the Gospels, that they were called palestinians, please let me know. They are Hebrew people, not palestinians. Samaritans have TORAH as sacred Book, not koran or any other. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.126.224.158 (talk) 17:46, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Re: Vandalism of mail order bride
Tahnk you for reverting the vandalism that I put up on the mail-order bride page. I was merely trying to demonstrate a point to my friend, as I believe that any false information or vanadalism is always cleaned up within a few seconds. I had a bet going on with my friend that my vandalism would be cleared within a short time span. You have indeed helped me prove that Wikipedia can be used as a credible encyclopaedia. Thank you very much! Sorry about the vandalism though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.56.220.52 (talk) 16:46, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Reversion of Puntland
I saw it as vandalism and as a broad offshoot of WP:BLP. I feel that just because it's about a business does not mean they don't deserve the same consideration as real people. So, from my point I would have said, no you didn't break 3RR because you were fighting vandalism, but I can't say if others would have seen it the same way.

Re: RfA
Thanks for your message. I would definably recommend you sign up for admin coaching - I had to wait months before my coach, KrakatoaKatie was able to assist me due to a huge backlog. I have been spending alot of time reverting vandalism with a tool called huggle, and have clocked up thousands of edits on it. The problem is that it is hard to pass a RfA without proper article work, which is what I am trying to work on now. Thanks again, Tiddly-Tom 06:22, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Speedy
Heh, thanks for that. Yeah I realised seconds later, I just couldn't remember at the time what the specific tags were and decided to claim that one for myself anyway. Ach a little bit of glory is good for the self esteem every once in a while ;) Cheers! Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 19:31, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Re: Protection of Frosty, Heidi & Frank
Sure no problem. There's a lot of throwaway accounts and IPs vandalising the page, but it should be ok for now. Cheers. Spellcast (talk) 19:48, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Clean up of Leonard Lesko
Hi. Sincere apologies if this is not the correct method of communication for this sort of thing, but I wonder why you removed from Prof. Lesko's page the "irrelevant comments about subject's favorite books" that I wrote. I was a student of Prof. Lesko's, and my comments had to do with his favorite Egyptian texts. I understand that you clean up things that do not fit, but I suspect that the texts that a senior Egyptologist considers to be most telling regarding Egyptian language and moral philosophy are probably more relevant than the bland exposition that comes off of the Brown Egyptology website (which my college roommate designed).

Help
I don't know how to scale down images on Wikipedia. The userboxes on my page are gigantic and I don't knowhow to scale them down because they take up too much room. Please respond,--RayquazaDialgaWeird2210 (talk) 13:29, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
From Shwmtpf
Hi...sorry--don't really know how to send e-mail. But I do appreciate your writing me regarding the entry on Leonard Lesko; although I don't think I'll be a regular contributor to Wikipedia (I haven't even had time to clean up the EEG article that I mostly wrote), I would still like to learn a bit about how things work. That being said, I would appreciate your thoughts about Prof. Lesko's article. I see the info under discussion as being within the realm of his professional life, as it pertains to his professional opinions about Egyptological texts and he is, well, and Egyptologist. This is not his personal favorite books, but are instead the Egyptological texts he considers to be most relevant to the study of Egyptology. I guess I must be missing some point and would sincerely (and without irony) appreciate your guidance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shwmtpf (talk • contribs) 01:46, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Hattersley
Hi there. Thank you for contacting me. In terms of what is and what isn't accurate in the article, I would be very cautious to believe any of it, as the portion of the paragraph which the anonymous IP authored appears to be complete nonsense - and even if it wasn't, it seems to be his own personal opinion.

InterMat
My edits were because I misinterpreted the page as the AFD and not the AFD talk, which is almost never used. I reverted based on that, but made edits to the AFD itself. Cheers! - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 18:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- I have not had an opportunity to do in-depth research into the website, but I think it should be deleted. A useful link would be

Vandalism
Thanks :-)
The vandalism was on User:Sam Korn/archivetemplate, a page so obscure that it takes me five minutes to find it every time I want to archive my talk page. Thanks very much!

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/March 23, 2004
Hi Tnxman - the March 23 article is covered by a larger discussion that's been going on at Wikipedia talk:Centralized discussion/Removal of many individual date articles. Thought you might like to have a look at that before the AfD discussion goes any further. Grutness...wha? 02:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
