If you look at the citation and then try to find the article it is refering to, it doesn't exist, at least not that I can find. The only article I could come up with was one written by Mr. Babineau mentioning Adam playing in a golf game. No mention of his family. Should it still be left in there, if the citation is wrong? I'm really new to all this, but if you could explain it to me, I would love to understand how it works. :-) Amy Raevon0206 (talk) 12:29, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Reporting SockpuppetRegistered user jaspel has resorted to using an IP address to undo my edits from today onwards, this can be gaged from the fact that the IP 180.215.196.42 is mainly undoing those of my edits that jaspel undid using his registered account a day ago, or he has invited someone else to do this for him, I dont know the wiki term for this, but read about it somewhere on wikipedia and inviting someone to do such is against wiki rules too, so please take note, what levels people will stoop to? He's also undone some referenced edits like Air Arabia resuming Kabul, I didnt add references for the same at Sharjah and Kabul airports but common sense says as an editor all he has to do is look up Air Arabia destinations on wikipedia where there is a reference, or Air Arabia website to get a reference, rather than being disruptive and vengeful, he can be helpful, isnt a wiki editor supposed to help out rathar than cause problems?, I add references this was at times by looking up airline sites or google to verify and then add found reference to article, that's how it should work. 116.71.5.86 (talk) 15:06, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

disruptive userhi GBfan, this is 3swordz. Didn't want to bother you with this, but there is a user, User:Winston786 on the Punjabi people article who has been disrupting the article's infobox (the personalities) and is not cooperative, forcing his will to add people of limited notability but suit his tastes more (he is an Indian national, and his tastes are not reflective of better known people) . he has been usurping the section and adding people he is a personal fan of. I have made concessions and compromises but this has not stopped him. He is a relatively new user with a little over 100 edits and has demonstrated a pushy streak and blanked sections of other articles; he has also violated 3RR. I added one new personality out of 12, he opposed this and remade it to suit his tastes, adding five new people without consensus, I have even replaced my own choice to satiate him, but he continues to own the article. I have warned him about this, but he simply mimics me instead of being mature and cooperative. I would appreciate your help with this user (and perhaps check if it is a sock?). thanks, 3swordz (talk) 16:59, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
360 degree feedbackHi GB fan, Like you I have reverted the deletion of the wikilink to Watson Wyatt in the article on 360 degree feedback and when this was reversed I reverted again and have added a request on the Talk page that the policy supporting the non linking be referred to. There appears to be a confusion between adding link spam for commercial purposes and adding wikilinks as far as I can see. Cheers Tmol42 (talk) 02:01, 15 January 2011 (UTC) 360 FeedbackGBFan, Tmol, I can see we continue to reverse each others' changes regarding the Watson Wyatt link on 360-degree feedback . My reason for deleting the Watson link is that it refers to the Wikipedia page for Watson Wyatt (a commercial enterprise), rather than to the study being mentioned. Having gone through a year ago and cleaned up all the references/citations on this page, I found there were a large number of "studies" that linked to commercial information (although the WW link is a Wikipedia link, it still describes a business), and not the study itself. In order to preserve the non-commercial element here, it's important that this not start up again. For example, I recognize many of the others of the articles cited in the references section. They are solid references and strong studies. Many of them belong to commercial enterprises, and these enterprises conducted the studies-- similar to Pfau of Watson Wyatt. However, does this mean that each of these should refer back to their companies via a Wikipedia link? If the link is regarding 360-degree feedback, great. However, the link does not describe 360, it describes a company. Additionally, although WW is cited here, the WW study isn't considered to be at the same level of rigor, primarily because it was conducted by a commercial enterprise in order support it's own motives and purposes. Linking to a WW page could only serve to promote SEO rankings, as well as promote WW as a business doing 360 feedback. Is this what we're aiming for in this link? Also, regarding your "citation needed" remarks, the WW study is already cited in the Pfau and Kay reference later in the paragraph. Thanks for your review. I really do respect the dialogue here. My goal is to provide accurate, unbiased info, without promoting one commercial enterprise over another. Coaches360 (talk) 23:51, 17 January 2011 (UTC)Coaches360
Fitchburg, WIGB fan, I would really like for more information to be able to be included on this Wiki page, however i guess i'm not sure what is appropriate to include. I had added the neighborhoods/associations based off what Fitchburg, MA has on their Wiki page (the links, which where a big mistake/oversight and i apologize profoundly for that, where my attempt to help people get in touch with current residents to learn about Fitchburg incase they are looking into moving here). Other than the demographics information, what is acceptable to include on this page? (The city motto, Get to Know Us!, has already been vetoed) Can you provide any insight or suggestions on how to make our Wiki page more informative and helpful to people looking for information on Fitchburg, WI? I know these are very noobish questions, but as nothing i've done has actually been ok, i think i need a bit more help and guidance than the "how to's" provide!

3RR violation reportedI am placing this notice on your page because of your prior involvement with User:Markglad and the article Thomas Jefferson. After responding to a request for third opinion I placed the article on my watch list, within hours I noticed the occurring of constant reverts. After viewing the article history, it appears that four editors(including yourself) have been reverting unilateral additions by Markglad against consensus. Viewing his edit history, he seems to have very few edits outside of the edit war on the Jefferson article. I believe this to be grounds for a block of some sort so I have placed this matter before the administrator's noticeboard. If there is anything you can add to the report there, please do so. nonsense with thisWikiManOnespeaking drivel! 17:33, 27 January 2011 (UTC) IRC invitationBecause I have noticed you commenting at the current RfC regarding Pending Changes, I wanted to invite you to the IRC channel for pending changes.

Thank you, especially adding the work-group and listas parameters... they are almost never added. I saw you weren't assessing the class parameter. Could you do that too. 150,000 biography articles haven't been assessed, so if you don't do it, nobody will. Just a quick "stub" if the article is short or "start" if it is long. Just use your best judgement.

Cameron ReillyThe following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. Hello While I appreciate you finding the article that referenced the subject as "40 Biggest Players Of Australia's Digital Age" it was from 2007 and the claim should be rewritten in the past tense. Neither the subject or his company http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Podcast_Network would be considered to be in this position now. His company is barely in existence and the subject is now a marketing manager for a outdoor decking company. He is no longer involved in the MODM, Melbourne's Online Digital Media forum and as for his contribution to online media issues - these are solely confined to his Twitter feed. I believe the article on Mr Reilly deserves deletion due to it's content being outdated and Mr Reilly is not a person of importance. Does everyone who has a podcast deserve their own Wikipedia page? While his accomplishments in the past have been recognised they are hardly of any historical importance that they require preserving for the ages. As have stated Mr Reilly is now longer involved in the industry to the same degree that he once was. This should be reflected in the article or the article should just be removed.

This probably isn't Wikipedia protocol, but because I have never had to deal with something that got quite this bad before, I'm unfamiliar with the standard procedure. Basically, there's a user (TheIsraelite777) who is hellbent on returning to the Talk:New World Order (conspiracy theory) talk page to launch personal attacks against myself, Loremaster, and other editors, as well as soapbox the truth to us. We've tried reason and debate, but we can't assume good faith on this user's part any longer. The user ignores all references to and explanations of policy and insists that we are conspiring to remove his comments from the talk page (some were removed for personal attacks, others were simply archived) and keep his edits out of the article. The user has also gone to my user page to retrieve information from my user boxes and then use it in his arguments on the talk page to attack me personally (which doesn't actually bother me - after all it's info I knowingly published on my user page, but I'm unequipped to prevent him from spewing it onto the NWO talk page, where that kind of stuff doesn't belong). If you could take a look, or advise me on what to do next (is it worthy to report it on the noticeboard, or need it get worst first, etc.?) I'd appreciate it.

Off2riorob (talk) 19:14, 11 May 2011 (UTC) The Botbol brothers were found guilty of infringing the article 72I"ve changed that part because of what the source (http://www.perfil.com/contenidos/2011/05/09/noticia_0029.html) says: "Tras confirmar el procesamiento, los jueces también ratificaron el embargo de 200 mil pesos, pero descartaron la posibilidad de que los empresarios fuesen detenidos" "Fueron embargados por 200 mil pesos y quedaron al borde del juicio oral." I think it would good to have an Argentine lawyer, or someone familiarized with argentine Law (legal tranlsator) to interpretate what the source say or at least a good legal dictionary available for free (from Argentina of course). I think you have to go to trial before being found "culpable" (guilty) (Art. 18.- Ningún habitante de la Nación puede ser penado sin juicio). I have also tried to find the meaning of "embargo" (which i don't know) in wordreference http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=234654 and other places, although without being a lawyer it would be difficult to fully grasp what embargo means considering i'm not familiarized with argentinian law, but it looks like "embargo" in Argentina is a "medida cautelar". Furthermore, if it is a medida cautelar, this part:"were sentenced to pay $ 200,000 (USD 50,000)." may not be a correct translation (maybe they will be returned the money or not depending on the results affter the juicio oral). If it is not a medida cautelar, and there is a 100% certainty they will pay that money, and won't see that money again, i think it's ok to say that they were sentenced to pay that amount.

So, I'm wonder if you want to love other categories or if you are just a Wikipedia monogamist. It is getting harder and harder to keep up with the new articles that don't contain the listas parameter in bio banners. A group of us have cleared out those starting with A-G and T-Z. We are trying to work on the rest. At 0z everyday, a bot runs adding the bio banner to new articles. Some days there are 20 new articles, but other days there are 70. So, I'm getting swamped with new articles and not giving enough time to the old. Adding listas can be tricky. Chinese names are ordered surname firstname. Vietnamese, Burmese, Icelandic, Arabic, Latin and Spanish/Portuguese names also follow different patterns. Old Japanese names follow the Chinese pattern, new names follow the western pattern, but Sumo wrestlers still follow the old pattern. If you would like to take up the challenge, even if it is for plain western names only, please give me a yell.

Pocketbook ReaderHi GB Fan, I'm wondering why you ask me to split it up to separate points because this way it will take weeks to go thru them all. Wikipedia Discussion is not really made to go back and forth really quickly and that is why I added those points and made a specific line for every item and also argued for every item why it needs to be changed. Using a citation to back up a broad fact that is implied for all devices while the citation article mentions one device only does not seem to be correct. But I'm eagerly awaiting your professional input on the matter as I'm working thru this list one by one now. BottomDog (talk) 12:56, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
Could you please check the Pocketbook article. Brainsteinko is again changing the article without talking about the changes first. BottomDog (talk) 09:20, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
Wonderful!Thank you for adding the image of Jay Scott Pike! It is so rare for there to be a usable image of comic book artists from his era, and I am just so happily surprised to see Mr. Pike's there. Just wanted to pass along a compliment to a fellow editor. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:30, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Just curious...Regarding this [1], I can understand that you are not seeing 3RR, but curious as to whether or not you see edit warring behavior from the editor reported. Thanks. Lhb1239 (talk) 00:35, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
I saw you put List of dog breeds up for peer review. I was just wondering what you thought of the idea of linking the individual breed standards to the individual kennel club classifications for each breed? eg: If you like the idea, I am more than willing to help out with the additions of links. Cheers, Keetanii (talk) 02:54, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

WDTNThe following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. I respectfully disagree with your addition of that tag in that specific section of WDTN. First, per WP:V, not everything must be referenced (that is, we're not Veropedia). Even WP:BLP doesn't require that everything be referenced--merely stating that unreferenced information must be removed if contentious or negative, and that other unreferenced information can be removed. Second, the presumption is that the information is referenced--it's referenced on the blue-linked pages of the people themselves. In fact, if we looked at those pages, and the information was not referenced there, then they should actually be removed from the WDTN list per WP:NLIST. Now, I monitor a fairly large number of TV pages, and routinely remove people from lists of these type unless they either have their own Wikipage or they have a reference verifying that they worked at the station and are at least somewhat important (NLIST says something like "important enough to be mentioned in prose in the article"). Theoretically, all of the blue-links should be checked, but the effort of doing so is so tremendous that it goes beyond what anyone I know is willing to do. But if a reference was found on the person's page, there is no requirement that the reference be duplicated on the station page. I respectfully request that you remove the unreferenced section tag, as no policy requires it. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:11, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Hey, GB fan. Would you mind weighing in at Wikipedia:Administrators noticeboard/Incidents#Disruptive editing by User:Blackie Lstreet at Casey Anthony trial, since you have also observed Blackie Lstreet's disruptive editing?

Editor reviewHi, I noticed the link in your signature asking for a review a while ago and have looked at the page at Wikipedia:Editor review/GB fan 2. What exactly do I have to do in order to write a review of your editing? I haven't done this before. Can you give me some links where I can read about how that works? Then I would be happy to review your editing, if you like. Please leave me a talkback template on my talkpage after responding to this question, because otherwise it might be possible that I will overlook it (since I have hundreds of pages on my watchlist).

Request from a Persian WikipedianHi, I see you answered the question from Mohammed Reza, a Persian, at Wikipedia: Helpdesk.

Cheers, Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 17:02, 14 September 2011 (UTC) Thanks for cleaning that up. I should have removed that from my edit summary before saving, lesson learned.

It just took me a while to respond because I still had a problem in creating my user page, and I concentrated on that issue.

You are now an administratorCongratulations, I have just closed your RfA as successful and made you an administrator. Take a look at the administrators' how-to guide and the administrators' reading list if you haven't read those already. Also, the practice exercises at the new admin school may be useful. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch on my talk page. WJBscribe (talk) 23:08, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

TWHi buddy, thanks for your help on the Twinkle talk page. Just a question, I had already created User:Jared Preston/vector.js with Twinkle options. Do I still need to create User:Jared Preston/twinkleoptions.js for it to work, or can I just plonk it into the /vector.js file? I'm not so great at understanding technical details, so your patience is very much appreciated! It would be great to combine the two, because I remember when I started using TW how annoying it was with the automatic watchlisting of reverted pages.

While I do understand why you would say to confirm the link with the main account, there is a funny thing. I actually was trying to, but I kept having trouble with how my phone handles symbols. Thanks anyways. I apparently found out that I had to use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?page=User:GarfieldRoX5697 verify] instead of [[Special:Log/User:GarfieldRoX5697]]. Also, I was planning to just remove the whole subst'd template, and resubst it after I had made my "proof reply". Another thing that is ironic is that the account actually has 9 edits currently out of the 10 needed to get autoconfirmed status. If I can figure out mIRC's syntax for sockets, I could probably use it for using IRC commands to do wiki tasks. (perhaps you could say it is a manually controlled bot) Just some things that might be interesting to you. LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 01:19, 9 October 2011 (UTC) Pleas undelete "Sensory Interventions for Preterm Infants"You deleted my article: "Sensory Interventions for Preterm Infants" because it did not contain any substantive information.

Please undelete the page so that I can create it. Thank you. Lalezars (talk) 20:36, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
You might want to look at this one again and read the note I had placed on the talk page. It doesn't terribly matter whether or not the IP is telling the truth that he was the original author. Considering that every IP that has worked on the article geolocates to the same location, and in three years nobody else has seemed to take the slightest interest in the article, I'm willing to AGF that the IP is the author. Combined with the obvious conflict of interest, notability issues, etc, you can take your pick... G7 or A7. Either way it's saving anyone else from having to deal with an AfD that will be a unanimous delete. Trusilver 00:01, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
