Free Hetherington

Hi Rami

I am unsure how to go about this. I have requested semi-protection on the Free Hetherington page because of a vandal, and was trying to work out how to report a user as a vandal when I got a message from you. I am not edit warring. I am reverting to remove content that I have already asked an independent editor to agree is not appropriate. Help!! LadyDiotima (talk) 09:57, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Please read up on what is and isn't vandalism. Now, the idea behind our policies on dispute resolution and edit-warring is that no-one single-handedly enforces their preferred version. If there's consensus, someone else will revert to it. Both you and the IP have received standard edit-warring warnings, so if you or the IP make a revert in the near future, you or the IP will be temporarily blocked. If the IP-user returns with a new IP address, only then will I semi the article. (and, by chance, it looks like this arrangement actually favors you, as you were the last to make a revert before the warnings). Rami R 10:10, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Rami

I appreciate what you are saying about edit wars. However, the way I read the guidelines, reverting in order to remove vandalism is not edit warring. If you check a little further down in the edit history, you will see another user, sdstrowes, also reverting the same ip user's identical posts for the identical reason I was reverting - that the ip user was linking to a source that is not reliable. Both of us had been using the talk page of the article to discuss this, and I earlier got confirmation from another editor that this link was not reputable.

I think that we had done all that we could do to protect the raliability of this page, and I do believe that the anonymous ip user was doing this with malicious intent. This article has been the subject of contention since it was first written, and there have been prejudiced edits from both sides. Some of us have been attempting to tidy it up, remove any references that are not 100% reliable, and see if it is worth saving.

But I'll stay out of it - because, at the end of the day, it is not that important an article.

Being disruptive isn't necessarily the same as being a vandal; Vandalism here has a very narrow meaning, basically restricted to actions with intentions to damage the project, with actual consequences being a secondary consideration. Questions of what constitutes a reliable source are necessarily content issues, and admins can't intervene in such situations (we can intervene in our capacity as editors, but then we must refrain from taking administrative action). Rami R 10:46, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Tehran

Hi There has been a new user which I believe is an SPA removing sources [1] on Tehran. I asked him to prove reliable sources that the sociology department in Tehran university is not reliable and he continously removes by WP:OR. The article has been vandalized by many editors in the past few weeks and I would appreciate a semi-protection until things are sorted out with some of these possible socks/SPA and new users.--Khodabandeh14 (talk) 15:43, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm looking into it and considering what action to take. I'm not convinced that you haven't been edit-waring yourself, and would clarifications on this point. Also worth noting is that Anticipatorr is autoconfirmed, and that semi-protection would be ineffective. Rami R 15:53, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Free Hetherington

Hi Rami

You just sent me a message to say that I was engaged in an edit war on the above page. I think this was sent in error as, although I have been watching the page and contributing on the talk page, I have not done any editing since talking to you 12 hours ago. I'm a bit concerned that my account may get blocked for something I have not done.

Cheers, LD LadyDiotima (talk) 21:53, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

It looks like another user restored it.[2] I'll talk to him about it. (Generally speaking though, it's usually preferable to archive the talk page rather than deleting content). Rami R 22:28, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Thanks Rami :-) LadyDiotima (talk) 01:16, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Portal talk:Current events/2011 April 6 has discussion regarding Clean Air Act (United States) = "regulations" and Climate change mitigation attempt.

Per Portal talk:Current events/2011 April 6 has discussion regarding Clean Air Act (United States) = "regulations" and Climate change mitigation attempt.

For example "... attempts to address global warming" is the same as "Climate change mitigation attempt." (from the first sentence of NYT article).

SPECTRE Protection

The anonymous editer once again added the un-sourced and inaccurate material I constantly have to remove. Could you please protect this page until said user agrees to stop, or should I re-post the request on the page for requesting protection? Emperor001 (talk) 22:28, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

It's the same IP as before, so I've blocked it instead. If the anon returns after the block, report here or at WP:ANEW. If another IP makes the same edits during the block, request protection, here or at WP:RFPP. Rami R 09:29, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Thank you. Emperor001 (talk) 04:53, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Natural Born Citizen page protection

On May 3, 2011 you semi-protected the Natural Born Citizen article. (And thanks.) The protection is set to expire May 13, 2011. I am requesting that the protection time period be extended. Thanks! --Weazie (talk) 19:49, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Protection isn't generally applied (or extended) preemptively. I'll watch the article and protect it if necessary, but you should request protection at WP:RFPP if I'm offline. Rami R 20:29, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
OK; thanks. --Weazie (talk) 20:47, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

RfPP script oddity

Hi Rami, this edit at RPP seems to have done something weird with the 'fulfilled' section, removing the last == and thus the header. Could you have a looksee? Thanks! GedUK  11:59, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

 Fixed, the script wasn't expecting spacing in the header. Rami R 12:58, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
Ahh I see! Thanks :) GedUK  13:26, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Bugs Bunny edit war

I wasn't sure if you'd seen the updates I posted at the WP:AN3 board, but Sarujo has been continuing to edit-war over his preferred version of Bugs Bunny since the blocks you gave us expired. He's getting ready to go over 3RR in new edits. MikeWazowski (talk) 02:38, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Just curious - why was I never informed of this SPI case?
SPI instructions do not require informing suspected individuals. At all events, as you can see, the SPI didn't result in anything, and was flawed to begin with. Rami R 18:32, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Rodney King

Hi , I was thinking about moving this article and I see you have indefinitely move protected it administrator only, is there a discussion or some vandalism that is behind that protection? Off2riorob (talk) 00:04, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

I move protected after seeing in the log both move-vandalism (20 December 2008) and a title dispute (9 December 2009). I also took into account the relatively high profile nature of the article (it was at least twice linked from the main page) and the BLP issues. Rami R 08:17, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
You increased the move protection sixteen months after any related disruption? Can you un-move protect it please, lower it to auto confirmed - Admin only seems excessive at this time with so little historic move disruption. Off2riorob (talk) 08:23, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
Given the BLP nature of the article, and the continuing disruption, I am reluctant to unprotect. Start a WP:RM, which would be a good idea even if the article wasn't move protected. Rami R 08:30, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
Fair enough. Thanks - Off2riorob (talk) 08:32, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

{{infobox football biography}}

Hi,

I see you fully protected {{infobox football biography}} in May. It's always been my wish that this template wee not preemptively fully protected: it was developed from scratch by non-admins and it's always been an exemplar in that regard. Do you mind unprotecting? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 17:10, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Though the template has 86104 transclutions, re-reviewing the history shows no significant problems with semi-protection.  Done. Rami R 17:35, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Request for help: Joseph Serchuk

Hi. I am looking for someone who can translate few words from hebrew. Can you take a look on this picture [3] and write me down, what is written there, please. Regards.--Verwolff (talk) 15:00, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

It appears to be a bunch of war decorations, dedicated to Joseph Serchuk. Decorations include "State Fighters Medal" (the big green one and the middle blue one) and "Badge of the Fighter against the Nazis" (lower one). Rami R 17:41, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
Thank you. This is it, what I wanted to know, but I am still not sure are those decorations valuable in Israel? How do you think? When I checked this link [4], it doesn't seem to, because only few links appear. Do you think the person decorated with these medals can be considered as extraordinary hero, who is worth to be in encyclopedia or is normal fighter as milions during second world war. If you'll have some free time, can you take look on article about Joseph Serchuk. I have bad feelings about this article. First of all, very few reliable sources. Second, the person who wrote this article is permanently blocked on hebrew wikipedia. Third, the same person wants to put this article in every kind of wikipedias around the world and asks in many languages to help in translation this article. I tried to learn some knowledge about Joseph Serchuk and everyone who has been I asked by me about this subject, could confirm that something is wrong with this. So, what do you think?--Verwolff (talk) 14:06, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
It's clear someone's promoting him, unclear why (a relative perhaps). The medals by themselves don't demonstrate much notability; the eligibility criteria are rather broad. The question is what's written about him the books cited, and whether more sources can be found. Otherwise Serchuk doesn't strike me as particularly notable. Rami R 19:35, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

User:Rami R/rfppClerk.js

Is pretty much any user allowed to use this? It seems like I could help a bit at RFPP, even though I am not an admin on enwiki. LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 16:58, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Sure, any help on RFPP is welcomed. I wrote and first used the script before I became an admin :) Rami R 17:29, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
While this script archives well, I am puzzled by the numbers it reports in each edit summary. For example, this action reported that there were 3 reports pending. That count is correct, but what is the meaning of the other reported numbers: PR:0, UR:0, RfSE:0, FR:4? I agree with UR=0 and RfSE=0, but I can't figure out why PR=0 is reported. Or why FR=4. There are a total of four reports in PR of which one has an admin response. Surely PR= either 3 or 4, depending on how you want to count the responded report. And if there is any need to count the FRs, shouldn't there be 10 of them? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 23:12, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
The numbers report the number of requests (re)moved from each section. This is what the bot used to report, and as such was included in rfppClerk. There's no backward compatibility issues I'm aware of that would require this though, so it can be trivially changed if deemed useful. Rami R 06:15, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. I see that the numbers are the count of requests that are both admin-closed and expired, which are actually being removed by the script. Do you think it is worth adding some text at User:Rami R/rfppClerk to explain what the numbers mean? EdJohnston (talk) 14:16, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
Makes sense. I've added a note in the usage section. Rami R 15:17, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Rami R. You have new messages at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection.
Message added 22:58, 12 November 2011 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 22:58, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

This template is not in use in articles, but it appears above the edit box for certain edits. It has been vandalized from time to time, and these vandalisms may not be very conspicuous. (How many people have bothered to watchlist editintros). Would you object to six months of semiprotection? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 23:22, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
Ah, I see. A stupid mistake on my behalf. Looks like Lifebaka protected it; fine by me. Rami R 16:34, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Protection on Alexander Povetkin article

Hey Rami.

First of all. Thank you very much that you have semi-protected the article. It was about time. By I can see you have only protected it till the 13 December. Cant you make that for a year or 6 mothns. dont think two weeks gonna help:( The problem will pop up again, I think. :( . — Preceding unsigned comment added by David-golota (talk • contribs) 18:58, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

A year is excessive for an article which wasn't protected before. I'll watch the article though, and re-protect should it appear necessary. Rami R

Your RFPP clerking script

Hi Rami R; there is a discussion here about your RFPP clerking script, which seems to ignore the "n" parameter in {{RFPP}} when moving or archiving requests, which can be a slight issue because that only denotes that an administrator left a note on the request. Please comment in that discussion when you get a chance, and thank you for creating this (mostly ;) ) wonderful script! :) Logan Talk Contributions 16:17, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

It appears that {{RFPP|ch}}, {{RFPP|q}} and {{RFPP|n}} should not trigger archiving. While the script could be modified to exclude those cases, I wonder if it could be better to modify Template:RFPP by removing those options. We could ask the admins to use {{AIV|n}} and so forth. If the majority of all archiving is done using your script, and if people always load it through a link to your version, maybe changing your script is workable. Of course the most elegant (but tedious) approach would be a lookup table that says for each tag whether it triggers archiving. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 03:52, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
Per your suggestion, a lookup table has been implemented. rfppClerk will no longer archive requests responded with ch, q or n (or their longer versions). Rami R 16:52, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
Your code update must be this change. In a quick review it looks like it should do the job perfectly. Now all you need is a helpful understudy who will write a test suite! Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 16:35, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
No doubt recommendable in a professional workplace, but I think that for wikipedia, the admins will need to test it themselves on the go :) Rami R 07:11, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Alexander Povetkin article

Look at the article. User3856 keeps undoing peoples work. He even delted the semi-protection from the article. Please cant you do something with him. He has been blocked two times now, but he dont seems to care at all. Yu said you would keep an eye on the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by David-golota (talk • contribs) 18:28, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Apologies for not getting to this earlier. I see User3856 has been blocked again, which I hope will suffice for now. If he doesn't learn from this block, the next one may be indef. I'll continue to watch the article. (As a side note though, be careful before accusing an editor of vandalism;[5] it's not the same as disruptive editing.) Rami R 07:08, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Block user David-golota

He is repeatedly reverting correct edits, making poor, untidy edits himself, and generally being disruptive. His English is also terrible.

When my account is unblocked I will be correctly editing the Alexander Povetkin article once more, fully referenced & sourced. David-golota will now doubt repeatedly try to vandalize the page again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.99.236.96 (talk) 20:57, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

MSU Interview

Dear Rami R,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.


So a few things about the interviews:

  • Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
  • Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
  • All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
  • All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
  • The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.


Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.


Sincerely,


Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 07:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

fetih 1453

It is nice to protect fetih 1453 from vandalism but there is a wrong information for the movie budget. You can check it from imdb, and wikipedia pages of Turkish, German and Arabic pages.

MSU Research Questions

Hello, I am involved with a research project for Michigan State University and am wondering if you would be able to answer a few questions regarding tool sets on Wikipedia. What were the tools you mainly used prior to becoming an admin, and after becoming an admin? Here is a link to the project if you are interested Wikipedia:United States Education Program/Courses/Wiki-Project Management (Jonathan Obar) , and if you have any questions please let me know. Thanks! Ltezl (talk) 22:27, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Kendall Hart

Thank you for move-protecting this article. I wonder if this must be either indefinite or temporary, as just one move vandalism was made. --George Ho (talk) 04:45, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

I generally always move-protect for an indefinite period. Page renames shouldn't be taken lightly, and generally shouldn't be done unilaterally. Also, page name disputes have a tendency to not go away: Kendall Hart was renamed 4 times since its creation.
That said though, you're welcome to ask for a 3rd opinion if you want. I won't hold it against any admin should they unprotect. Rami R 07:54, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Do you mean: requesting unprotection in RFPP? --George Ho (talk) 08:06, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
If that's what you wish, yes. Rami R 08:33, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
What can I do if I want to request from indef to temp then? --George Ho (talk) 08:44, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Simply make a request at RFPP explaining your request and position. Again, assuming that's what you want. Rami R 08:46, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Middle East

Even with your warning. I haven't reverted again, since I've taken this to RfPP. Of course, now with your warning given in addition to my note and discussion on talk, I suppose a short block would be more appropriate than page protection now. If so, should the RfPP be taken down? CMD (talk) 02:44, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Sorry I got to this only now. If I'd seen it earlier I would have blocked him, but right now it's kinda stale. Feel free to revert him again, and if he returns report to WP:ANEW or to me. Rami R 16:35, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Help for Heroes

Hi Rami, The "X Factor Charity singles" section under the Help For Heroes page has been semi protected so I have made no changes via an edit. The songs for 2008, 2009 and 2011 are missing. This section only shows details for the 2010 single release and most of the info showing for this 2010 release is incorrect. The song "Heroes" was released in 2010 and this is correctly referenced by reference 18.

The rest of the information showing which has been referenced by references 19,20 and 21 does not apply to this 2010 release. References 19, 20 and 21 apply to the 2008 single release titled "Hero". For this section then 3 missing songs need to be added and the 2010 song information needs to be corrected.

Details for all 4 charity single releases can be found in the "Charity Singles" section 9.1 on the The X Factor (UK) page and they also show in the The X Factor (UK) discography page as well. Can your 'charity singles' section on the 'Help for Heroes' page be linked to the 'charity singles' section on the 'xfactor UK' page? A penny for your thoughts on this matter.

Regards, Ritchie.

Katesbush999 (talk) 08:39, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

It certainly may. As an auto-confirmed editor you may edit the page yourself. The standard code is {{main|other-page#other-section}} or {{seealso|other-page#other-section}}. Rami R 16:51, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

RPP clerk

Hello, I need to say that I like your script for the semi-automated clerking of WP:RPP. One improvement I would like is that it would be available on the toolbar before I go into the editing mode of WP:RPP. It gets tiresome having to do that. I have tried to do this myself (see User:Rcsprinter123/rfppclerk.js) but it didn't work. As I know no Javascript, and was just trying to manipulate the code into something that would work, I'm not surprised. So, can you help me do that? Thank you very much, Rcsprinter (orate) 19:47, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

I notice you protected 2012 Anti-Islam film protests to stop move warring (thanks), but the redirect doesn't work properly.

BRD project

I have outlined a proposal for a potential project that you might be interested in at User:Betty Logan/BRD enforcer. The essence of it is a peer review system in relation to challenged unilateral edits. I'm contacting you because you expressed an interest in a previous discussion in regards to a more stringent enforcement of BRD. If you are not interested then no worries, I'm just testing the waters at this stage to see how much interest there would be in such a co-ordinated task force.

RFPP script (2)

Would you be open to adjusting the wait times before archival? I was hoping to reduce pr_timeout by a couple of hours to de-clutter the main protection/unprotection request sections faster, because it gets pretty bad, and then increase fr_timeout by a corresponding amount so they stay there instead for a bit longer. Obviously these values can be changed in individual users' javascript files but it would be nice to make the change at the source so everyone's scripts are working together. – Steel 01:51, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

I'm certainly open to making adjustments. The default values are what the archiving bot used, and I've wondered about it myself whether these are good values. We should probably take this to WT:RFPP. Rami R 16:42, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
Super. I've left a note there. – Steel 19:35, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

As I know no Javascript, and was just trying to manipulate the code into something that would work, I'm not surprised. So, can you help me do that? Thank you very much, Rcsprinter (orate) 19:47, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

I'll look into it when I next have some free time. I don't anticipate this to be a simple task though, and it'll probably take a while. Rami R 20:20, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Let me know when you're ready. Rcsprinter (lecture) 16:28, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
I don't want to appear impatient, but are you willing to do it yet? Rcsprinter (talkin' to me?) 16:16, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

I forgot about this. I'm sorry, it's not high on my to do list. I may yet get at it, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. Rami R 17:02, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

  • Rami, I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of deactivating your RFPP clerking script. An automated bot task has begun taking over the job of archiving RFPP requests, so this must be done to prevent conflicts. Please see WT:RFPP for more information, and feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Thanks. ‑Scottywong| chatter _ 20:51, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Back in action

Following Scotty's departure from Wikipedia (see WP:VPT#Snotbot (or "Teh Dramahz break the wiki")), your script is once again needed. Since you appear to be fairly inactive, and since it's possible that some modifications will be needed, I've copied the last operational version of your script to User:Francophonie&Androphilie/RFPP.js (with attribution, of course). If you have any objections to this, please let me know, but it seemed best to have an active curator for the script, since it's as of yet unclear how long it will be until we get a replacement for Snotbot. Thanks for making such a userful script! — Francophonie&Androphilie(Je vous invite à me parler) 08:37, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Mostly I see it as unnecessary, any admin can make edits to the script. And while it's true I don't edit often nowadays, I'm still keeping a watchful eye on things. Rami R 08:59, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Rami R, since the bot (and Scottywong) is active would be be able to deactive your script again? It was used not long ago and it ruined the layout needed for the page. Thanks, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:17, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Fine. Deactivated. Rami R 09:15, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Spanish civil war

Hi.

I am afraid you have been manipulated by Thomas.W in their request for page protection. Since
1) I am not a blocked editor, as Thomas.W told.
2) And most important. There is ongoing dispute about systemic bias of the article at the talk page. Thomas.W removes the systemic bias tag under false pretense that there is "consensus reached" on the talk page, despite there is none, and the tag says "do not remove until the issue is resolved".
Could you please influence Thomas.W to stop pushing their views through edit warring and blatant lies to administrators? Thanks. 123.16.126.217 (talk) 12:23, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

I'm not seeing consensus for the tag, I'm mostly seeing you edit warring over it. Rami R 09:00, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
There is ongoing dispute about systemic bias on the talk page. The tag is just part of it, and not supposed to be removed until the issue is resolved. e.g. consensus is reached. Some editors saying that there is no bias, and are just removing the tag, to force their views, instead of seeking consensus about the bias issues with others. The dispute is not about whether the tag is supposed to be there or not. It's about the systemic bias issues, which are acknowledged by some editors and refused by others. The tag is just an indication of the ongoing dispute. 123.16.126.217 (talk) 10:46, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

I see no point on full move-protection anymore. How about either unprotecting it completely or semi move-protection? --George Ho (talk) 17:44, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

 Done. Rami R 21:04, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

information about web war

Hello, I saw that some users continue to define myself as a "vandal" because I'm trying to bring unity between the pages of tennis players, and then at their request (JayJ47 and Fyunck (click)) you asked me not to continue in this fight.

I do not want to wage war on anyone, it's not my character, but I want to improve the improvable, trying to save what is possible (not sacrificing anything).

If you have checked my previous edits (with particular attention to the last edit made ​​to the page of Victoria Azarenka), I have not deleted anything, I just added a content reduction function (seen in many pages) from 100% to 97% and i have added several links to other tennis players. For this I have to be locked?

Now wikipedia should be a free community and with rules of course, but the offenses that I have been made in this month are pretty silly. It's frustrating and disheartening to know that a job you do with passion, and that can help everyone improving the content, is not dropped because they do not like.

I hope that everything will be resolved at best and that, as I said to you, try to work instead of go to war with each other. I'll wait for your reply. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.117.180.140 (talk) 11:43, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

You are not locked from editing, but you need to discuss your edits. I do not see in your contributions recent participation in talk page discussions or even edit summary usage. The problem with your edits are that they seem not to confirm with the relevant guidelines. If you believe this is not the case, please make your argument at the article's discussion page. Alternatively, if you believe the guideline to be flawed, please present your argument at the guideline's discussion page. In either case, editing warring is not a legitimate course of action, even if you believe to be in the right. Rami R 12:00, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Disruptive Edits from IP User

The IP user you warned about edit warring has continued to make disruptive edits to various tennis related articles. At Wikipedia:WikiProject Tennis we have a specific guideline that all users are expected to follow so I have reverted his/her edits on this basis. Your assistance regarding this matter would be much appreciated. Thanks JayJ47 (talk) 03:53, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

37.117.180.140 (talk) 20:24, 9 August 2013 (UTC)Hi, I am the "famous" IP who made, as JayJ47 dramatically said, disruptive edits. From Today, i correcting the errors that i have made for misunderstanding and not for bad faith, so, if he permit it, i will do it. Thanks for your kind attention.
