Welcome back from WikiDeath as well, if you need help of some kind let me know, as the project changed a lot the past few years. Secret account 18:29, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
There's been a few changes, including the inactive administrators proposal. Many of the users that were active back in 2008 became inactive sadly, few prominent users, most notably User:Rlevse got embroiled into massive controversy which led to a lost of adminship. RFA is practically dead with one or two users passing RFA a month on average. Monobook was replaced by vector.js, Twinkle became a add-on tool every registered user can add in their pref, Wikipedia:Flagged revisions went through a trial and more or less rejected. We gotten way much stricter in copyright and plagiarism concerns, which is one of our biggest advances, plus despite the lack of extremely experienced users now, vandalism and junk is at a all time low, with being a reason. Wikipedia:New Page Triage is something you will extremely interested. Too much to list, signpost can also help. Thanks Secret account 21:17, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Since this thread has been closed I'll reply here. I wasn't suggesting a block based on vandalism he performed back in July. However, I did think that it was something that anybody reviewing the thread needed to know. The main problem seems to be his current extreme POV as this is "Wikipedia" not "DRMsucksapedia". What the past vandalism might indicate is that there's a possibility that he's just screwing with us. In any case the thread is closed and he's been warned. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:00, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

I suggest you see my changes to the article before obliging to that guy's request because I did nothing wrong (or at least nothing that hasn't been done before and still stands for all other UFC events). I updated event results. Never before UFC 145 have fight results had sources. I didn't slander people's biographies like that user suggests. If I do get blocked, so be it.

I got your message on my talk page. Since you didn't get my email I created an new section, moved my earlier post to this new section and have copies by earlier email below. It's a bit long, but I had a lot to cover. I would appreciate your response as soon as possible.
I've been out of town for a few days and I come back to see my site is blocked for suspected "abusing multiple accounts". Where does this come from? I have one Wikipedia account as Angelone7749. I don't know what I need to do to prove I have only one account. Please tell me how I verify this issue. My question is who reported such an activity? I have looked at places on Wikipedia that this reporting is suppose to be done and I do not find anything. I know someone requested the block and my guess would be a contributor named Orlady. I ask this question because Orlady has demonstrated that they are not abiding by the neutral POV rule. He/she expresses several opinions that clearly state their bias and more recently Orlady has reverted numerous of my contributions in the main article. I think this contributor is much more involved in the Wikipedia behind the scenes culture and rules than I am. They appear to be using that gained working knowledge, and their relationships to active Wikipedia administrations and personnel to block my editing of the site in an attempt to suppress my different opinions. You can read the talk section under "Controversies Section Edits 2012" to see the exchange. It appears that as soon as any contributors started to agree with my position, it triggered the block request. Perhaps this person is so opinionated they can't believe anyone else would agree with the points I am making. At the hub of the disagreement is that I am stating that a site recognized by the State of California and their regulatory authority on Private Post-secondary Education, the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) recognizes Education Services as the official custodian of records for PWU - California. There seems to be lots of opinions on the topic, but neither Orlady, nor any other contributor, can quote any source that would override this Official California State Recognition as a reliable source. Orlady in fact openly challenges the State of California's BPPE as a unreliable third party source on this issue. Of course, all of this is opinion and I found it hard to believe that anyone could actually ask others to consider this personal opinion above the credibility of a State Bureau. My repeated question to Orlady was, if the State of California and their official regulatory agency in the State is not a reliable source to verify Education Services standing as custodian of records, who is? If Orlady, or anyone else, can deny a legitimate source because they have been a Wikipedia contributor longer than I and obviously has connections to administrators and insiders in Wikipedia that I do not, is this not abuse of the system? Orlady, or whoever made the claim against me, may know how to manipulate the system, but do these actions serve the credibility of Wikipedia or the neutrality of the main article? Consider this: If I am a PWU California graduate and I search for PWU California in Wikipedia and I am redirected to the California Miramar University Page, I should be able to find out that accreditation requires all PWU California records be kept separate of CMU records because the accrediting body and the State of California consider the two schools as separate educational institutions. This is an important fact and as an alumni of PWU California I need would need to know exactly who is the official custodian of records for my student records, where I can find them and know that the State of California verifies that this is the legitimate custodian of my student records. This is the type of information Wikipedia is suppose to contain. In this case, I tried to add this information, only to have the material reverted or significantly changed by Orlady several times for several "reasons". Orlady has deliberately edited out the fact that the State of California recognizes Education Services as the official custodian of records. Orlady has tried to minimize the information because he/she doesn't agree with the information. This is abusive behavior and should not be allowed. I know this is not the proper forum for this discussion but I would like to suggest that PWU California might need to have its own article on Wikipedia. Since the State of California and the accrediting agencies officially consider CMU as a separate entity from PWU California due to the way PWU California was purchased (an asset sale) and the verifiable fact that both the State and the accreditation bodies list the foundation date of CMU 2005, what is any information concerning PWU California prior to CMU's foundation date doing in this article in the first place? Using opinion and abusing the Wikipedia system to silence, even for a few days, those who are not in agreement with you opinions, is not in keeping with Wikipedia policy and should not be tolerated. This main article was locked down in the past due to contention. I can see why this contention occurred when you have zealots who hold themselves above the State Authority and want to restrict the content of the Main Article to suit their strongly held personal opinions. I await your answers on the questions of: 1. What do I need to do to prove I don't have multiple accounts? 2. Who was the contributor that made the request to block my site and where on Wikipedia was the blocking request made in writing? 3. Your relationship to the person who requested the block, if any. 4. How can I make a formal complaint about abuse of process on this Contributor on this block request and the questionable editing practices? 5. What process can I explore to make this contributor discuss future edits with me on my contributions prior to making the edits, as I requested of Orlady in the talk section before the request was made to block my site. 6. Your opinion on Education Services as a verified source on records and student information concerning PWU California. 7. Your opinion on PWU California having its own Wikipedia article.

Cut and paste moveHi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Tweakhere a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Tweakhere/Archive. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history. In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. jfd34 (talk) 04:16, 5 May 2012 (UTC) References in GA nominationsOn the GA page of Bivalvia you state: "In general, your references are formatted inconsistently." I am currently doing a GA review of another article, Boddingtons. My review is much less thorough than yours but it has got to the stage where I have asked the nominator to improve the formatting of the references. I would like to clarify in my own mind exactly what GA criterion (2) means. My question then, - is it essential (or merely desirable) for an article to have well formatted references to pass GA or is the fact that the references lead to reliable sources the important thing? This has particular relevance to whether I pass or fail Boddingtons if the nominator takes no further action. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:57, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

I have virtually no experience of the latter (and little of the former) and don't know quite what is needed. If the objective is GA, I would think that the article might be considered to have a broad enough scope already. If it is to go further, I can think of a further 2/3 topics I could include - evolutionary history, use by humans and toxicity. I would be interested to know what you think. I have now worked my way through your list of suggestions for the article, adding some additional material and sources on the way. Thanks for all your help. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:51, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

I would suggest that you post your comments on that page and fail it (most of the editors in my project do not think it is worthy enough to be considered a GA, even after a review); this will allow others to see potentially how to improve Gilbert and possibly pick up the tab and finish it.

Richerman (talk) 22:59, 14 May 2012 (UTC) New section{Help} Hello, and thanks for you kind note. (I tried to send a note to you but I was signed off so I don't think it arrived) I am beginning to become a big fan of wikipedia and the work of Wales and people like you (and one other person who responded to me). I would hope there is some way to restrain the occasional Humanv2.0. All of the info I put there on the site is true and factual. Actually, I only put recent publications to keep it short. I really did not know that I couldn't put up a bio. Actually, I gave the info to students who said they will put up the info; and I gave them my password with is a standard university password. Also, once I received your first note, I sent an email to the students to take my info off of wiki. Below is my response to Humanv2.0 who would not reveal who he was or his manager. It's fine, but he has to have 'peer' review from others as well. I hope that something can be done about him. At one point, he wrote to me saying we was GOD Muhhhaaha, (then he said no seriously).... This is not professionalism, or well, decent at all. Here is my response to him: (I sincerely hope he doesn't do this again to others) --Well, I can see that this is unhelpful. All of the info I did write and I asked students to help put it up. They took over the process and yes, used my email or username. I thought that it was ok to put personal bios wikipedia, other friends have done so. I had no idea that you could not write your own bio. Whenever and academic does anything professionally, including CV, s/he writes a bio. It's a common thing. Actually, my reasoning is that by putting a bio up on wikipedia would prevent me from having to maintain a personal website. So, all of this ego issue is fairly strange when all of that info I put up is factual - and not massive - it was 1.5 A4 sized paper. Another thing you didn't notice is that most of my academic influences ARE people I either work with now or have studied with. As for the dead, well you seem to expect some kind of miracle from me. So, let's leave off with your self inflations and rhetorical references to yourself as God as you sit behind code and won't allow peer review of yourself. You mentioning that I should be familiar with peer review and thinking wikipedia is 'peer' review is absurd. I had no idea that though 'all can post' something, we can't post bios. It was an honest non-understanding on my part, because, well I don't use Wikipedia alot, or have no idea of how to post things (not a mistake), something you clearly have no concern other than to act as a 'peer board.' If you have debate with my publications, the recent ones are there at the bottom, the referenced ones, you can contact the reviews at those institutions. That's how academia works. That's how peer review works.

Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:16, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
I edited something?Hi, I was just curious because I got a message saying my edit about Finland had been reverted because it was unconstructive. Fine with me, but I don't remember editing or even viewing Finland's page. Just curious, what did I do?

Bivalvia againSince you helped Bivalvia to achieve GA status, I have been working on the article to make it more comprehensive. I have added sections on "Use as food", "Use in controlling pollution", "Other uses", "Mariculture" and "Evolutionary history". The rest of the article is little changed though Invertzoo has been doing various tweaking. Would you be able to look at the new sections? Your help would be much appreciated. Are there any other essential topics that I have missed? I am looking forward to giving it a go as a FAC and have been watching with interest how you have been getting on with Andromeda.

Blast from the pastDear lord it's been years, never expected to hear from you again, you kind of disappeared. Great to be proven wrong though! I saw the wikimedia e-mail notifying me about talk page changes and rolled my eyes (BrownBot, again), then I saw it was from you and pretty much did a double take. Anyway, would love to help with the FAC nom if you'd not terribly mind the intrusion? Travelling and will be busy through early next week, but after then I can probably fit in a fair amount of editing. · Andonic contact 22:07, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

It's a thankless job, and there's always people who will snipe at you afterwards. But I'm a firm believer that finding a consensus (any consensus, even partial consensus) has a way of dialing the drama level down, instead of letting these disputes gradually demoralize the more co-operative editors. Anyway. I'll get off my soapbox. Really, just thanks. Shooterwalker (talk) 03:18, 28 May 2012 (UTC) Your signitureHi. The nowiki in your signature played havoc with WP:GAN, see this diff. I removed it from the GA nominee template at Aries [3] and it seems to have fixed everything. Just letting you know so that if you nominate any more articles you can remove the nowiki yourself.

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful closing statement in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Muhammad images. You and the other two administrators have made more difference to a contentious article than most editors might imagine, and for this you all deserve to be recognised. The Dispute Resolution Barnstar, which "may be awarded to an editor who makes a contribution to one of the dispute resolution forums that exceptionally furthers the aims of the project", is I think the most appropriate.

Regarding this edit, I have undone it for the following reason: The denverchannel.com reference is not appropriate for a List of Players, for the list we use a reference from one of the Negro league websites, in this case seamheads.com since he did not have an entry at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum website (see the other refs used in the reflist). The denverchannel.com reference IS appropriate for the player's article and is used here. Just wanted to drop you a note to avoid any misunderstandings. Rgrds.

Well, indeed, I think the time has come when we just have to stop and look at what it is we are really here for. Wikipedia becomes much more pleasurable when you can read and trust several articles in a row and not have to worry about expanding or sourcing it. It really is up to us to try to spread quality and develop wikipeia from a scruffy outline into a consistent high quality resource. The way wikipedia is currently set up though this will make the task impossible. Reform is badly needed and some form of incentive which gets editors to focus on core and high importance articles needs to be introduced.. Most editors opt for stubbing or low importance lower scale articles to develop to GA and beyond because they're easier to research.♦ Dr. Blofeld What angers me is that the foundation potentially could raise a lot of money to fund into a monthly Core Article contest and Best Article contest which is strong enough to lure editors into producing high quality content but they do nothing. I've proposed in many times and the foundation never do anything as incentives to them is a taboo. A monthly contest could be held and indeed a Best Featured article prize at the end of the year or whatever with a handsome reward judged by a panel of editors involved with FA which would get editors to produce a great deal of good content for wikipedia. Personally I know a few people who would not touch wikipedia normally but if there was a reward for writing a piece they'd invest their time and effort in it. We rely on the good fortune of people and the vast majority of people are unwilling to go to the efforts needed of an FA without being compensated as they require a lot of effort and indeed patience to see it through. If the foundation truly want to improve quality I think they'd start introducing schemes which naturally attract a great deal more contributors to the website and indeed get many of those who spend most of their time engaged in wiki politics to contribute to what matters on here.♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:15, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Pierre van HooijdonkDear Keilana, A few weeks ago I changed the Pierre van Hooijdonk page which erroneously said he has played more than 80 interlands and scoring 68 goals for the Netherlands, which is complete nonsense.

First of all, I'm sorry somebody as esteemed as Keilana has got to put up with this on his talk page in what is an obvious simple thing. Sorry but I have to say folks you're making a mountain out of a mole hill over this. Yes he is very pushy, but he is also very keen, and wikipedia needs keen contributors. BWilkins, just give the guy a chance and see what happens. He has the potential in my opinion to develop into a great editor. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:52, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the input, everyone, but all I've really got to say is that I saw a need for TAP to stop pissing off the NPPers when he was making perfectly fine stubs, so I filled that need. If the community agrees that that was dumb, by all means revert me, that's how we roll around here. And for what it's worth, I do appreciate healthy debate around here, so that's not a problem in any way! :) Keilana|Parlez ici 15:05, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Constellation referencesI see you have been busy editing various constellation entries.

I appreciate you referring to the book, but can you please update the reference and give complete publisher information, as follows: Ian Ridpath and Wil Tirion (2007).
