Thanks for helping out--24.85.165.161 (talk) 10:30, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the award

One interesting thing - I'm not sure if you're familiar with New Page Patrol, but this one was at the back of the log. I find it interesting that it slipped through the cracks. Users who do NPP obviously tend to like to look at the pages just created, but there's a lot to take care of at the back of the log. I remember the day I found the infamous film director article, there were like 3-4 other articles that I prod'd/csd'd/afd'd, also in the back of the log. I wonder if part of the user's anger is that the page was around for over a month, so why all the trouble now? A little understandable, but that doesn't mean his article should stay.

Thanks again! --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 18:27, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

You're very welcome. I was not familiar with NPP, but I am now! I actually ran across AFD when I was doing my usual Wiki-surfing (I do a lot). Somehow, I ended up on Glassblowing, which led me to here and then to David Patchen. Curiosity got the better of me, and I checked it out... then wondered why there was an article for someone non-notable... And that started the voyage through figuring out how to nominate an AFD and the rest has proven to be a deeper view in to the workings of Wikipedia than I had anticipated. It is unfortunate that the user [in your submitted AFD, not mine, for clarification] is obviously upset and failing to understand the notability requirements. Looks like it will be WP:SNOW anyway, but yikes... Chasingsol (talk) 18:43, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, I guess you're the black sheep of our family since you actually want to help the country articles, many of which have been goin' down hill. So get swingin' and start adding those sources to the article to flesh it out, because it's woefully short. The article's just an old chunk of coal, but it's gonna be a diamond someday.

Misguided warning

Hi. Please do not add misguided warnings. POV disputes do not amount to vandalism. Secondly, I have sourced the information about Czech tourist industry. Do not blindly revert sourced material. Also refrain from personal attacks - telling someone that he is vandalising, while at most you are dealing with different POV (sourced at that), is certainly not appropriate! 78.30.163.113 (talk) 11:08, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Your edits are not appropriate. You have been warned by several editors. Your edits can be considered vandalism since they contain obviously inaccurate information. Your assertion regarding the sourcing is also suspect, Wikipedia requires reliable third-party sources for content in articles. Please refrain from adding this type of material to Wikipedia. Best regards. --Chasingsol(talk) 11:14, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Obviously wrong information?? You must be kidding. Try reading the references provided. Every word written is accurate. It is not just my experience. Isnt it true that Prague mayor posed incognito as a tourist and was ripped off in a taxi? Isnt it true that exchange boots use practice of 30% lower rates that written in front of their boots? Isnt it true that waiters are rude and try to add a 20% surcharge at restaurants, that tourists are warned of in sites I linked to? And since when adding such information is vandalism? Sorry, but you are deeply wrong about this. 78.30.163.113 (talk) 11:27, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

my recent edit

it is constuctive you turd mister and i want it to be kept because it is not vandalism and i hate hebrews and jews —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ch1ll Sh0ts (talkcontribs) 11:28, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Harry McNally

I fail to see what was unconstructive about my addition to the Harry McNally page. One of the clubs he scouted for was missing, I added it correctly and with citation.

Is Wikipedia really so pushed for space that it's necessary to delete one word and a reference? Seems unlikely to me 193.128.114.206 (talk) 14:40, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

My apologies. Sometimes I do make mistakes when reverting vandalism. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Best regards. --Chasingsol(talk) 14:42, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. Out of interest, is it this shared IP that attracted your attention? I notice there are some previous warnings on it. 193.128.114.206 (talk) 14:44, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

We do tend to look closer at the edits made by IP's, since approximately 75% of vandalism originates from persons who do not have an account. I was indeed overzealous with the trigger. Over the course of the past few hours, I've reverted several hundred pieces of vandalism. Again, my apologies. --Chasingsol(talk) 14:50, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

CSD Tagging

Thanks for tagging Jimmy Chiu. Just a note, I deleted it under CSD A7. It was tagged under both G1 and G7, which don't apply in this case. G1 is for patent nonsense, G7 is where the user requests deletion. I'm not sure how either applied in this case. If I've missed something, please let me know.

I intend to correct User:Redshair in the editing of the page Reds Hairdressing, and urge you to remove the speedy deletion tag, for I have myself gathered more information and research on this Singapore-based company, and will ensure a fairly-written article, and ensure that this page is not meant for promotional or commercial purposes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Woodysee (talkcontribs) 07:58, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

vandalism

hi,I apologize if you found the edit to be vandalism but I feel it is constructive,and should be on wikipedia,

thanks 148.243.231.196 (talk) 10:59, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. Saying things like "Many Israelis harbour anti christian beliefs and even tourists are subject to hostility" in the Persecution of Christians article is hardly constructive. You should edit with a neutral point of view and provide reliable third-party sources. Also, copying and pasting content from other existing articles, such as Anti-Christian sentiment is not necessary since the content already exists elsewhere on Wikipedia. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Best regards. --Chasingsol(talk) 11:08, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Please elaborate why you see my edits acts of vandalism, or do not revert the article. What I did was just putting an additional description of the photo. Also, why and how are you reverting the article and leaving massages so quick? I suspect that you are, or are using, a bot. If so, what you do is acts of vandalising. --121.94.177.164 (talk) 03:30, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Butyl acetate

Butyl acetate is infact NOT an IUPAC name. Its IUPAC name is in fact Butyl ethanoate. I therefore suggest reverting your change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.238.147.89 (talk) 04:18, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, you're incorrect. this source states that the IUPAC name is butyl acetate, and not Butyl ethanoate. Best regards. --Chasingsol(talk) 04:40, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Why are you objecting to me adding cajun music schedules to cajun accordion? It is related and appropriate. It is not promotion.

Chasingsol- YOU ARE THE VANDAL!

Please do not add misguided warnings. Some of my edits were just adding demographic facts, and neutral. How is this vandalism?

Also, POV disputes do not amount to vandalism. Do not blindly revert sourced material.

Also refrain from personal attacks - telling someone that he is vandalising, while at most you are dealing with different POV (sourced at that), is certainly not appropriate!

Please explain how the Star Trek History links are in any way "SPAM"? They are legitimate links to incredibly important deleted scenes from the original Star Trek history. Far from spam, they represent aspects of production for these episodes and extremely relevant material about the creation of these episodes. Did you happen to even LOOK at one of these links before you called it SPAM and removed it? Did you look at the YouTube video before you deleted it? Have you ever seen the deleted footage from Where No Man Has Gone Before and think it is SPAM or unimportant, despite being mentioned in the article? --76.233.87.107 (talk) 06:25, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Please review the Wikipedia policies regarding external links, as I also provided in my warnings. --Chasingsol(talk) 06:30, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I reviewed the policies and your "warnings" – that explains ONLY the YouTube link (which can be fixed later), but it does not explain the Star Trek History links, which have no commercial ads, or links to commercial sites. It is pure historical research found nowhere else on the net and would be of interest to a large majority of those who visit the article. Where exactly does the SPAM lie there? On what are you basing your various threats?--76.233.87.107 (talk) 06:37, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
You may also want to review Wikipedia:External links. Wikipedia is not a collection of links. I understand all the rules may be confusing, but the wholesale addition of the same link to numerous articles is highly discouraged and considered disruptive. I requested that you stop, which would have allowed discussion, but you ignored the warnings and continued. --Chasingsol(talk) 06:54, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I understand Wiki is not a collection of links. I see nothing there that prohibits what I did. Further, I had made ALL of my edits before you ever found the first one. I ignored nothing. You warned me over something you were coming across at a later time, or your software was notifying you of well after the fact. I watched a whole movie after I made those edits and came back to find your remarks. It is very uncool of you to block me as punishment for something I did not do, when at this point in time it was only to prevent further conversation – extremely petty. Further, each and every one of those links I added are NOT the same LINK, Most of them were different pages of the same site with specific references to the episode to which it was posted. It is YOU who did a wholesale revert without checking the content of those links. Simply because I labeled them all the same: "deleted scenes" does NOT mean that they were all the same link, it just means for that article they constitute the deleted scenes. No need to block me again as I have no intention of doing anything about this tonight, or anytime soon for that matter. But you need to realize that I have broken no Wiki policies and in each case only enhanced what someone could learn from the article with a well placed external link.--76.233.87.107 (talk) 07:13, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I did not block you, you were blocked by an administrator. You can find the block reason provided at your previous IP addresses talk page here: User talk:76.233.87.107. Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia policies, a good place to start is Wikipedia:Welcome. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Best regards. --Chasingsol(talk) 07:24, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for clearing that up. However his explanation was the same as yours, "I continued to add spam links". Obviously since you issued the warning you must have reported me. Either way, all of the links were added in a matter of 10 minutes, long before I ever got your first notice and long before I was blocked. So forget it. Clearly a misunderstanding. I would appreciate it if you would, however, after reviewing my explanation above, please explain why the StarTrekHistory links I added are still considered in violation of some Wiki policies, which I have thoroughly reviewed.--75.56.213.1 (talk) 07:51, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
The main ideal behind Wikipedia is to include information that is verifiable by reliable third-party sources. I am not at all questioning the admirable work that has been performed on the site. The issue is that it's mass inclusion in numerous articles without discussion and without it being a notable website, is considered disruptive. The website itself has never received any news coverage from a reliable third-party source. Websites of this type are often considered fancruft. I understand your assertion that it is non-commercial, although every single image on the site also references an indisputably commercial website. I'm sure you can appreciate the number of people who strongly believe that THEIR website is important for inclusion, no matter what Wikipedia policies are. Two of Wikipedia's core policies are maintaining a neutral point of view and avoiding conflicts of interest. All of the above are my reasons for asserting that the inclusion is considered spam. My best recommendation is that you contact the Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Trek to discuss with them whether there is any material worthy of inclusion. I am certain you will find interest in the material that is available, and perhaps you would also consider releasing some under a Wikipedia compatible license, which would allow it's inclusion in articles. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions. Best regards. --Chasingsol(talk) 08:12, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

The link I've added was important as it offers to the viewers the possibility to access to a MERP zine.

I don't see why you erase this. This is a violation of contribution.

You should probably read about Wikipedia policies regarding external links. Wikipedia is not a collection of links to non-notable websites. --Chasingsol(talk) 12:50, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

But this is a notable website, as it features a MERP zine. OK this is linked with www.merp.com . This grants the user another site to go in.

Thanks, I appreciate it. After looking more at the talk page, I think you're right. It may not be a bad idea to take it there anyway, I don't see much constructive discussion occurring about this particular sensitive subject, and it looks more like personal opinions coming to the fore than any attempts to maintain NPOV. --Chasingsol(talk) 14:44, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I see you've listed it. It will be interesting to see what results from it. Rossrs (talk) 15:06, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I also agree with your edit to the talk page. This has been an ongoing issue at Polanski for a while. We have been to BLP board already and, based on the editor's behaviour (now and potentially previously under an IP), will be again. I am going to warn the editor for making a false warning, and explain why the redaction on the talk page was quite appropriate.sinneed (talk) 18:27, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Page blanked by author

Hi. Though page blanking is usually vandalism and needs to be reverted, it is worth looking first at the page history, because quite often the author has blanked his own page, as was the case with Gary Witheford just now. In those cases the best thing is to tag it {{db-author}}. It can be confusing for an author who realises his page is inappropriate and blanks it, if his page is at once restored and he is accused of vandalism for the blanking and told it was unconstructive. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:12, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you John, I was obviously overzealous in this case. I appreciate the heads up. --Chasingsol(talk) 15:18, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Just a comment from my unhappy experience. You probably already knew this one... but I did not know that wp:blanking allows all users to blank their talk pages. I had known logged in users could, but I painstakingly restored a lot of warnings to a shared IP talk page... then learned it was ok for any one of the users to blank the page at any time. *sigh*sinneed (talk) 18:40, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Description

Identification photo of movie poster

Source

http://www.giganticpictures.com/cosmopolitan.html

Article

User:Softlavender/Cosmopolitan (film)

Portion used

Whole

Low resolution?

Yes

Purpose of use

The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article. The significance of the small low-res poster is to help the reader identify the subject, and assure the readers that they have reached the right article.

Replaceable?

This is the movie's official small poster in an extremely scaled-down, extremely low-resolution form. It is unlikely a more suitable free image for the Wikipedia article infobox on the film could be obtained.

Fair useFair use of copyrighted material in the context of User:Softlavender/Cosmopolitan (film)//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Chasingsol/Archive_1true

I don't know whether to put the prospective article, Cosmopolitan (film), as the target article, or User:Softlavender/Cosmopolitan (film). I got a message that the former article "doesn't seem to exist," so I decided to list the article as it appears now. But will the image still survive the changeover to Wikipedia proper? Or, are you supposed to wait until you've finished and posted the article before adding images? Softlavender (talk) 05:57, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Wow, thanks so much! That looks great! Softlavender (talk) 06:10, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Cosmopolitanpostersmall.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Cosmopolitanpostersmall.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 07:05, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

hi

Hi I am impressed by your gesture of cleaning up vandalism.But my previous edit <third world> was more intentionally directed at mathew hayden, one of the most arrogant creature walking on this earth.

But the way you have taken care of the article had far reaching impacting on me.I would like to contribute as well, to clean up the wonderful wiki of vandal pages. Please let me know how i can contribute and make Wiki a better place.

I have four questions

Q1: Can I change my printing and my background to a diferent color other than black and white? Q2: Can I make a link from here to my youtube channel and my blog?

You reported me for vandalism for my work on the Lesion page despite the fact that you reverted it to a nonsensical page with repeating sections.

hi

thanks for the message so I went to my preferences and I don't know what to click on. I want to change my printing from black to blue and my background from white to black. the other thing I had trouble with was adding an external link, I need to have a link from here to my youtube account.

Hi Chasingsol, Just to let you know one of your last suggestions seems to be the actual problem, yesterday I brought it to the attention of our IT guys, they said it is an issue with our anti-virus software, one they had not seen, however, they will fix it within the next week or so. thank you for your help-it is appreciated.

Nonsensical "vandalism revert"

I made this edit (logged out). You then reverted it with a templated message one minute later. I'd like you to detail your claim that the information in question is incorrect - if you have reliable sources to this effect, the Oxford Capacity Analysis article could do with your additions. I suspect it'd take something pretty overwhelming, though. And if you don't have Reliable Sources to this effect, you have no business doing "vandalism reversions" in the style you do and really need to consider your work more carefully - WP:BITE is in fact policy, and is policy for good reason - David Gerard (talk) 23:14, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

I recently made an edit (not with this account - I'd forgotten to log in) to the "Labour issues" section of the above article adding that some workers were not merely being paid nothing but being made to pay the company; you reverted it. But that fact is mentioned in both of the two BBC News articles cited as sources for the paragraph - specifically in the seventh and penultimate paragraphs of "Domino's staff claim exploitation" and the seventh paragraph of "Domino's workers in 'slavery' row" - so I've restored a slightly better worded version of what I added before.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Cosmopolitanpostersmall.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Cosmopolitanpostersmall.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:13, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks for putting up the article from my userpage so the image wouldn't be lost. Next time around, I'll know not to request adding an image before the article is put onto Wikipedia proper! :) Anyway, I'll flesh out the article eventually.

Non-Free Image

It's not vandalism, becuase I was the only contributer anyway. The problem with Disney portals is that all of his material is copyrighted, and its hard to find a free image. I blanked it becuase "Rafaki.jpg" or whatever is a nonfree image (oops), so it i thought it better to simply blank it-the latter part of a file's tag is not a very pretty thing on a portal.

Dear Chasingsol,

you nearly barred me at: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:86.73.133.214&redirect=no for adding links that apparently are not relevant. I do not understand what basis you made this accusation on. The link I provided, www.archi-pedia.com has a rich gallery of untextured 3D objects. Granted the site warrants visitors to create a username and password, this is simply to protect the site content from spiders, etc. What will it take for the link to be kept up without being blocked? Why is it considered vandalism? I noticed that you left a link from the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_rendering to: http://www.archstudio.co.in/

What makes this a legitimate link compared with mine? I don't get it. Please explain so that I will not make the same mistake again. I would hate to be barred!!!

I look forward to your kind reply.

I removed the speedy because it's claim to be award winning indicates notability. I'm not even sure about the advert tag, in its original incarnation it certainly was, after much culling of peacock terms and getting JustMA, the author to provide references I don't think its written like an advert any more. COI on the other hand, well that concern still stands somewhat. --Blowdart | talk 10:40, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


So how did you catch my change so fast?

Did some kind of tool automatically alert you that a change had been made, or did you anally check the page every 20 minutes word by word? I've never understood how wikipedia isn't full of spam, so I tried making a relatively harmless change to a well trafficked page to see how long it took to get caught.

Interesting

One serious fault I have found with wikipedia is this : URL references to web pages for supporting an article tend to die. That is, many wiki articles have dead links for supporting assertions made on the page. Has anyone ever considered incorporating a caching mechanism, where wikipedia would save webpages that in turn support a wikipedia article? 99.140.165.8 (talk) 09:42, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Question

I added a post with information that I invested a great deal of time and effort to create.

Vandalism?

Please assume good faith. In my opinion a single example of the use of variables foo and bar in Java suffices to illustrate the concept. Of course we can add similar code in BASIC, Simula, Modula, C, C++, C#, Haskell, and so on, but what is the added value? In my edit summary I did clearly indicate the rationale for my edit, so why assume this is vandalism? 88.233.38.17 (talk) 22:23, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Turtle Bay Association

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Turtle Bay Association, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

References do not help to establish this association's notability.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.  Blanchardb -MeMyEarsMyMouth- timed 23:27, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of page

I've just now noticed that a page I created was deleted in January, so apologies for my late reply.

A friend of mine who has myriad and serious health problems mentioned that she has been helped by a medicine named Canova. I noticed that there was little information about this medicine on the Internet. I thought it would be helpful to assemble what little information there is in one place, it might well help other people. I have not used Canova myself, I have no reason to believe it would help my own particular health problems. I have no connection of any kind to any people or organizations that produce or sell that product, except that I am aquainted with my aforementioned friend who finds it useful.

I grant that the people who manufacture Canova might benefit from the existence of a Wikipedia article about their product. On the other hand, if we eliminate all Wikipedia articles about all initial-stage medicinal treatments in early development, it would seem to me that Wikipedia overall would not be as broadly useful as it ought to be.

Virtually any treatment in its initial, nascent stage of development is usually produced by a single patent holder in the first few years. If a patented cure for cancer were launched and sold starting today, and generic versions were not available for the first few years, would it be appropriate for Wikipedia to ban all articles about such an initially unique medicine? As near as I can tell, that is the situation that Canova is in just now, there is no broader category of medicines that Wikipedia can write about for the moment, Canova is temporarily unique. Is it really in everyone's best interest that nothing be written about this treatment in Wikipedia?

Has Wikipedia policy evolved to the point where it addresses these cases? I appreciate a policy that says that we can write articles about aspirin, we just can't write articles about Bayer aspirin. But suppose in some imaginary universe where aspirin was invented *after* the Internet was created, and during the first decade of the existance of aspirin the only aspirin *was* Bayer aspirin, there were no alternative brands yet. Should Wikipedia then ban articles about the new miracle drug aspirin because initially there was only one brand available?

Please re-read the deleted article and consider some way around this. I can't think of any way to write about the kind of drug Canova is, because to the best of my knowledge, it is its only kind.

Please prove me wrong. I don't want sick people to be deprived of information because of the perceived needs of an informational bureaucracy.
