Gridlock talk page.

You posted quite a big spoiler on Talk:Gridlock (Doctor Who) and it's quite pointless to do so. If someone truly cares for the Face's prophecy, they'll read the article. Wikipedia is not a discussion forum about Doctor Who. --Quadratus 19:49, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

sorry feel free to delete it--Lerdthenerd 19:50, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I won't delete it, but I've censored it, to prevent people from accidentily reading it. --Quadratus 19:55, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Offer of help on Skunk Fu

Thanks for the offer, Lerdthenerd! That would be fantastic. I am just trying to sort out a few things with regard to Skunk Fu, such as the fact that I have the Voice artist list, but no idea who played what, since it doesn't show this in the credits; I also need assistance trying to grab any relevant information about the production companies, since they will be linked from the infobox eventually...Companies include: Hoek, line and thinker (Holland), The Irish Film Board/Bord scannan na hEireann, Super RTL (Luxemburg) and others which I will hunt down. Any help you can give me on this will be much appreciated. Thanks again, Thor Malmjursson 12:26, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

no problem :) i'm willing to help with the episodes, also do you know any good skunk fu websites we could use as sources to cite from? as that would help us complete the article.--Lerdthenerd 12:47, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Alaibot and List of Skunk Fu episodes

I'm not sure I follow: it was uncategorised, my bot tagged it, someone then categorised it. What 'wrong page' was tagged? Alai 00:36, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

the article has a bug at the moment, your edit doesn't appear in the correct history instead it's in the bug version, i've just looked on the correct history page and it says the last user to edit was Iceflow(Thor)--Lerdthenerd 20:17, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk pages of redirects

Here's a friendly bit of advice, based on your comment in Talk:Universe of the Metroid series. When an article is redirected to another, the original article page, its history, and its talk page are all still accessible. As an example, consider the trouble you had with Mother Brain (Metroid). Clicking that link will redirect you to Universe of the Metroid series#Mother Brain, but at the top of that page is a line that says Redirected from Mother Brain (Metroid). Clicking that link will take you here, where you can access the talk page (usually) and article history. Sometimes the talk page is also redirected, but if it actually has discussion, it probably won't be. Hope that helps. --Herald Alberich 16:31, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

thanks, shall i'll try and put the sites i've found on the new article's talk page?--Lerdthenerd 13:52, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Motherbrain.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Motherbrain.gif. 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. BetacommandBot 23:21, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Author blanking pages

Hi. :) I just wanted to let you know that when an article creator blanks a page nominated for speedy deletion, that is usually interpreted as his or her agreeing that the article should be deleted. In such a case, it is usual to tag it with {{db-author}}. (For context, this is in reference to your restoration of material at the now-deleted Casey Fearfield, the edit summary of which suggested you may not be aware that this is common.) In most cases, of course, what we see is author's removing the speedy notice and leaving the article, in which case restoring the previous contents is precisely the thing to do, generally with a {{uw-speedy1}} left on the author's talk page. Thanks for helping keep an eye on article quality. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:42, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

thanks i thought he was ignoring the warning, glad he realised the article was full of personal remarks and decided to delete it.--Lerdthenerd (talk) 19:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:

yes I believe so, since most of those warnings are current (aren't they?), he is well within his rights to delete my chat with him, but that practically voids any cooperation that I was having with him. that's his lose tho.--Kerotan^{Leave Me a Message} Have a nice day :) 14:37, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Originally quite a few months ago, it was wring to remove warnings whatever, then there was a change that if someone removed warnings it meant they had done the job, which I never really liked because it made persistent offenders hard to catch, and now just form a synthesis between the two, if the warnings are no longer relevant, let it go, but if the chances are high that the person will get warned again in the very near furture i would personally keep them there.--Kerotan^{Leave Me a Message} Have a nice day :) 14:44, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Blanking

Whilst I agree with the principle you expressed in your edit summary here, the page being blanked was pure spam. Your reversion thus inadvertently replaced it. gb ^{(t, c)} 10:56, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

No worries! gb ^{(t, c)} 15:10, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Reintroduction of non-free content

Hi,

Is there any particular reason why you're reverting me? (I ask because you've not provided an edit summary.) You may not know but policy prohibits decorative non-free content. (WP:NFCC) Matthew (talk) 20:06, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

i'm afraid your wrong stop deleting it--Lerdthenerd (talk) 20:08, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Inappropriate use of the rollback button

Hi. In regards to this edit on Partners in Crime (Doctor Who), please remember that the rollback button should only be used to revert simple and indisputable vandalism, not as a convenience in edit wars. Inappropriate use of the button may result in that privilege being removed by an administrator. Thank you. --B (talk) 22:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, when I left this message, I was going through the AN3 report and didn't know that it had already been removed. If, after a reasonable period of time (like a month), you would like to have rollback restored, come to me and provided that there is no recent edit warring in your history, I will restore it. --B (talk) 22:49, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I regret that I must inform you that your request for the rollback permission has been denied. You can discover why by checking the archives at Wikipedia:Requests for rollback/Denied/May 2008#Lerdthenerd. RFRBot (talk) 21:30, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Forest of the Dead edits

I would ask that you confine descriptive comments regarding your opinion of my edits to the discussion page only. Mischaracterizing my edits based on your opinions is considered uncivil and personal attacks. Thank you for your consideration. Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 14:49, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

using all caps (LIKE THIS!!!) is also uncivil as it looks like you are shouting, i mearly said your edits are being quite disruptive two people have argued against the removal of the wedding dress and you are twisting the no original research policy with your own opinion.--Lerdthenerd (talk) 14:52, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, i don't watchlist your page, and just no saw this comment. I am sorry you saw my contributions to make the article better as disruptive. I would ask that you try to offer a bit more good faith. I disagree with you and wth others. That doesn't make me disruptive, and that doesn't make a correct interpretation of policy original research - any more than your insistence on including a non-notable reference to the wedding dress would make you a fannish zealot. Be nice. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 09:11, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm trying to be nice, you're the one who is calling me a fannish zealot, if the dress can't go into the continuaty section, then it should go in production because it's obvious they have used the same prop, this is compromise me, U-mos and the others have came to in order to stop this argument getting out of hand like the NFCC policy argument we had with matthew and fasach nua and because your argument against synthesis does have some reasoning behind it, (you're right about some things, but i feel you are following the policy too strictly like a wiki lawyer). Personally my reasons for it going into the continuaty is that the dress is part of Donna's character, she is a bride waiting marry, but unusual circumstances and The Doctor stop her from getting married twice, also throughout series 4 every character introduced to The Doctor and Donna under their false alias, assumes they are a couple which they quickly deny, finally Donna is forced to forget about the Doctor and her adventures with hime because the Doctor's brain with in her would overwhelm and kill her, this both is joyful allowing donna to finally marry someone but is also upsetting because she enjoyed her adventures with the Doctor, although i doubt people will agree with me but i don't care, I'd rather not argue for a trivial point if the majority of editors are against me and have policy to back their view up, this is the case with you i'm afraid you can't win against a majority of views unless you can convince enough editors that your argument is right without ruining the spirit of wikipedia and its policies, and try to stop name calling, I don't like being called a fannish zealot.--Lerdthenerd (talk) 09:09, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Edit war

I don't think Regent is to blame there... take a look at User talk:83.241.234.4 and the ANI for some more context. Page blanking and saying "it should be deleted" 25+ times is not the least bit acceptable, and Regent is within guidelines to roll that back. Shadowjams (talk) 08:40, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

I know but he is not stopping, try to get them both to atleast discuss why the article should not be deleted, as etrigan has nominated it for deletion any way for WP:MASK, i'll support Regency on this if he discusses.--Lerdthenerd (talk) 08:44, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I understand your pragmatism, but I don't think the IP has anything to discuss, the extreme edit RVing is evidence of that (and keep in mind that at least half of those are straight page blanking, the other half are the less obvious double cited paragraph removal). That IP also has a history of sock puppetry and a 1 year block. Something that's hard to achieve. In my rather long tenure doing vandalism patrol, I'm not sure I've ever seen a dispute with a belligerent so obviously at fault go without a block for this long. Maybe it's the moon, but I can't believe this went on this long. This is not an edit dispute. This is clear vandalism prevention without backup by admins. Weird. Shadowjams (talk) 08:54, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

thank goodness he is banned now, probably won't stop him from doing it again if he comes back, but we will wait and see.--Lerdthenerd (talk) 08:57, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Editing of The Tourettes Guy

Why do you keep removing the 'real or fake' section? I have stated on the talk page for that article that the information in that section is not 'unsourced', there are several websites, which may I add I have tried posting links to, that point towards Danny faking it. His telephone number and address have also been found and his real name appears to be Anthony L. Six. Wikipedia has blocked the links to this information.

If you're going to remove that part of the article, why not remove the part about his death rumors too? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 30casesofpickles (talk • contribs) 16:11, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

"a" versus "an"

"Undid revision 369539793 by Minaker (talk) an before a vowel not a" -- Lerdthenerd

"The choice of "a" or "an" is determined by phonetic rules rather than by spelling convention. "An" is employed in speech to remove the awkward glottal stop (momentary silent pause) that is otherwise required between "a" and a following word. . . Further, some words starting with vowels may have a preceding a because they are pronounced as if beginning with an initial consonant. "Ewe" and "user" have a preceding a because they are pronounced with an initial y consonant sound. " -- Wikipedia

"When u makes the same sound as the y in you, or o makes the same sound as w in won, then 'a' is used." -- Perdue O.W.L.

"Use 'an' in place of 'a' when it precedes a vowel sound, not just a vowel." -- "The English Language: A User's Guide" by Jack Lynch

"Common sense and research should be employed before hastily undoing someone else's edit." -- Minaker (talk) 20:46, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I guess that was way too harsh. Your edit was in good faith, so I apologize for the snarky comment I made above. Minaker (talk) 21:05, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

its alright, and i've learnt something new about a and an --Lerdthenerd (talk) 12:07, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

The "a and an" article isn't gone, it's just that my link doesn't work anymore. The "discriminating between a and an" article is no longer a separate page, it's been merged at some point to the general topic; just type in "a and an" in the search and scroll down to see the appropriate section. Minaker (talk) 15:44, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

ok thanks--Lerdthenerd (talk) 15:45, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

AIV

In response, to your edit summary question at AIV, I removed that report because the IP had already been blocked by another administrator. Normally, the reports are automatically removed by a bot once they are blocked, but it didn't happen in this case because the report wasn't formatted quite correctly, so the bot didn't recognize it.

I would assume the (admittedly COI) removals are correct - it seems unlikely, for example, that a woman married a man in 1992 on his date of death to bear children born 50 years previously. Ironholds (talk) 13:31, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

I agree it was the edit summaries i was concerned with--Lerdthenerd (talk) 12:40, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

COI is not in itself a reason to revert somebody. I'm pretty sure that information needs to be removed, but I'm perfectly happy to not let his edits stand given that he's blanking large chunks in an unneeded fashion. Ironholds (talk) 15:09, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

1944 Cheshunt B 24 Bomber crash

Thank you for your contribution in adding a speedy delete tag to the article Cheshunt B 24 Bomber crash 1944 However this article is not a dupilcate, it is work in progress, a duplicate error was mde with the date and this was picked up by someone else, all you have done is wasted time in getting the article started.

Please do not be discouraged but it may be worth checking in future with the history of the article and having a quick word with whoever started the article.

Please note this is Work in Progress so will take a few days to complete. Pandaplodder (talk) 11:05, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

alright but when you contest your article being deleted don't remove the speedy deletion tag as this looks like you're ignoring it, instead use {{hangon}} then write your reason in the talkpage, also a friendly word of advice try to avoid using all caps LIKE THIS in your edit summaries it looks like you're shouting--Lerdthenerd (talk) 11:09, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

What copyright infringment is on the page to stop to me from reverting?

the text was copied directly from the source, which is illegal under copyright law and against wikipedia's rules, please do not restore the article until the matter is settled, its simple enough write the article in your own words using the sources to back up statements not as a copy and paste job. By the way sign your posts next time Redranger--Lerdthenerd (talk) 12:59, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Lerd, the {{copyvio}} template is for use when all of the revisions have copyright trouble. For a single paragraph, you should edit out the paragraph, not blank the whole article. See Wikipedia:CP#Instructions for details. Thanks. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 13:09, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Sarek, I reverted back to the copyvio tag because Rockfang put it up, seems an IP called 203.39 put the offending content in was reverted by a user then put it back in, Rockfang resolved the issue by blanking it, an IP reverted him and then I put it back. I'll do the right thing and remove the paragraph, thanks anyway.--Lerdthenerd (talk) 14:19, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

When an article is deleted all the edits in the article's history are hidden from public view, and so they don't appear on your contributions list.

Dry Bones (enemy)

You tagged Dry Bones (enemy) for speedy deletion as a repost of an article that was previously deleted via a deletion discussion. However, I can find no trace of such a deletion discussion, so I have declined the speedy deletion. It may well be that the article should be deleted, but you need to be careful to use the right criteria. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:42, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

should i AFD it instead so the author can discuss it? I think this article needs deleting because dry bones already has an entry in list of mario characters.--Lerdthenerd (talk) 13:45, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't think any of the speedy deletion criteria applies. You could try a PROD. If (as is likely) the author of the article contests the PROD then AfD is still available. Obviously taking it directly to AfD might be quicker, but if the PROD does work it's less trouble, so you might like to try that first. Alternatively instead of trying to get the article deleted you could just redirect it to List of Mario series characters. Unfortunately such redirects are often reverted to the original article, but it may work. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:52, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

By the way, if you do end up taking it to AfD, let me know, and I'll contribute to the discussion. JamesBWatson (talk)

I PRODded it JamesB, thanks for the help--Lerdthenerd (talk) 13:55, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Regarding this article, per WP:CONTESTED, once a prod tag is removed from an article, even if by the article creator and even if in bad faith, it should not be replaced and an AfD opened instead. Notwithstanding that, I have redirected the article to Recurring enemies in the Mario series, with no prejudice towards opening an AfD if the redirect gets reverted.

Please Remove the Associated Content

I am trying to remove the false content associated with my username, Meleniumshane90. An email was already directed to Wikipedia regarding the matter. If you are able to change the username and remove the associated content, that would certainly save time and headache. The slanderous content has somehow made its way to Facebook - which came up on my search today, which prompted the email to Wikipedia and the content corrections.

When this has been read, please remove it so it is not indexed by search engines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.180.252.43 (talk) 09:35, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Usernames

Hi Lerdthenerd, just thought I'd drop you a note to check if you know about WP:UAA where editors with usernames that don't comply with the username policy can be reported to be blocked. You seem to patrol the COI filter and many of the usernames are in violation, for example User:Carmarthenrfc is clearly a promotional/misleading name and can be blocked. If you use WP:TWINKLE it's really simple to report people - select the ARV tab and then change the reason for reporting from "vandalism" to "username". Thanks for helping to stop spammers.

Speedy deletion tagging

You tagged AIRY Internet Media Player for speedy deletion. I agree with your tagging, and have deleted the article. However, there are two points that i thought it would be helpful to mention. Firstly, you tagged with {{Speedy deletion}}, but it would have been more helpful to have used {{db-promo}} or {{db-spam}}. There are several reasons why using the standard db- templates is better. For example, doing so automatically gives the reason for tagging in lists seen by administrators. This means it is more likely that a speedy deletion will actually take place. Secondly, you should normally notify the author of any article you tag for deletion. The quickest way to do this is to copy and paste the warning message given near the bottom of the speedy deletion notice on the article. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:00, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Speedy tag on Альберт Налчаджян

Hi. Please note that the speedy deletion tag {{db-notenglish}} is only for articles that already exist on another non-English Wikipedia, and you need to provide the link to the other Wikipedia. There is no speedy tag for articles that are simply not English - they should be tagged just as {{notenglish}}, to allow people time to translate them if appropriate. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:26, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Actually, it appears that there really was a copy of that article on another Wikipedia, so you were partly right in your action - it just needed the article to be tracked down and a link added to the tag. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:52, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

RfA (2)

Hi,
I've added a few questions to your RfA. The problem at the moment seems to be that you are relatively unknown (at least to me), and that the quality of your nomination statement and answers don't show that you have much experience with the finer details of policy. I would recommend that you take your time with answering those questions, and that your answers include links to the relevant policies, are exhaustive yet succinct, and last but not least free of grammatical errors.
Thanks, Amalthea 10:48, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh, sorry, I didn't read the above section. Nevermind then, but try to take this to heart if you try again in the future, and make sure to watch a couple RfAs play out before to get a feel for what the community expects in an RfA. Amalthea 10:50, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

RfA

As friendly advice, I'd suggest withdrawing your current RfA, because I honestly don't think you have a very good chance of succeeding at the moment. But don't take it personally - RfA is a fraught process, and it's tough to pass. You need to show a wide breadth of experience, together with deep knowledge of the areas you work in, and that is no easy task - plenty of more experienced editors (with something like 2 or 3 times your edit count and more) have been unable to pass on their first attempt. But I wish you the best for a future run. Best regards -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:37, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

I can't close it myself as I'm not an admin, but I'll make a note that you have asked to withdraw and an admin will deal with it. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:42, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

I have closed the RfA for you. I do feel that you have the potential to be a good administrator, but now is not the time. Do read other AfDs to see what sort of things lead to support and what to opposition, so that you can improve your chances in the future. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:08, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

I second that - I also see admin potential for the future. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:12, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Archiving

In response to your request on my talk page I have archived a chunk of this page for you. I have also set it to be automatically archived by MiszaBot in the future. I hope this is OK, but if you don't like it you can remove the {{User:MiszaBot/config}} template from the top of the page. I find this automatic archiving is much better than having to go to the trouble of manually archiving every so often. It should archive any thread which has not been touched for at least 28 days. If you want to set it to a different time scale, just change the bit that says "algo = old(28d)" in the template. I believe I have set it up correctly, but if it doesn't work as intended let me know. One other detail: MiszaBot does not archive any section of the talk page which does not end in a timestamp. The way I deal with this is simple: if anyone posts a message without signing it I add a comment of my own with a signature and date, even if all I add is something like "Seen. ~~~~".

Civility - reply

Hi there LERD, VASCO from Portugal here,

i am sorry for my manners in Carlos Marchena's summary. It's just that i: 1 - lose it with vandalism (not the case here); 2 - tend to also overreact when people come here just for their 15 minutes of fame and write all kind of nonsense in an encyclopedia (the case here), with no respect for the other people's work.

I know i should not act the way i (more often than not) do, but if you would like to know, i have been here editing for four years now, with ZERO tolerance for vandalism, and still haven't been blocked once even if my summaries are often (appearing to be) unfriendly and aggressive. Maybe it's because i always respond to users when confronted with my actions, acknowledging them and so on.

That said, i apologize for any incovenience, have a cool weekend - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 13:59, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

thanks, just try not to lose it from now on not all users are as lenient as me and may report you and possibly get you banned--Lerdthenerd (talk) 15:03, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Admixture white Hispanics

Project MUSE is not a blog its an online database of current and back issues of peer-reviewed humanities and social sciences journals.

I understand now, but SamEv still disagrees with you, I suggest you discuss your issues with him to avoid an edit war--Lerdthenerd (talk) 09:27, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

You have not removed the admixture graph with regard to the admixture of the overall hispanic American population on the MEXICAN AMEIRCANS page so i presume you do not doubt the validity of its contents? Admixture studies carried by the geneticist Bernardo Bertoni conclude the most European hispanics (in terms of ancestry) in the U.S are 67% European and most hispanics in the U.S self ID as white thus the average white hispanic in the U.S is 67% white or lower , i dont see what there is to discuss.--ChineseNygirl (talk) 18:06, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I do not wish to continue the conflict between you and SamEv, however he may still disagree with you, it is important you discuss it with him still as he may revert it and this could lead to an edit war.--Lerdthenerd (talk) 08:10, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy tagging

Hi. Thanks for tagging Abcyst just now, but you could have used a better tag than {{speedy|duplicate of another article}} - it's important to use the ones listed at WP:CSD#Criteria because they generate the right message for the author's talk page, and also because if you can't find an appropriate one in the list, it probably means the article isn't speediable. The right one here was {{db-a10}}, preferably with the actual article included - {{db-a10|abcess}}. There is good advice for speedy taggers at WP:10CSD and WP:A7M. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:58, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Advertising copy is not an acceptable source for BLP content

This is a well-settled general principle, and there is no significant, good faith dispute about its application. WP:BLP calls for the removal of such poorly sourced material "immediately and without discussion." WP:BURDEN provides that "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material." Dekkappai's personal rejection of these principles (and policy like WP:RS generally) is no basis for his repeated noncompliance with their requirements. Use in a BLP of semi-literate blurbs from a porn retail catalog like "Here comes the final works of AV Queen Hitomi Kobayashi. In disc 2 she has her first and last real sex scene. Who could miss her real fuck." is so obviously inappropriate as to require no extended discussion (as is the use of the Japanese-language Wikipedia as a reference, which is categorically prohibited). Your restoration of this content was quite ill-advised, and I suggest you reverse it promptly. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 19:00, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

was there a reason for edit warring with dekki over it? HW i expect you to cease edit warring in the future or you will be blocked next time --Lerdthenerd (talk) 20:29, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I removed BLP-violating text. Dekkappai restored the text without making any good faith attempt to comply with BLP or making a good faith argument that my claim of BLP violation was incorrect. This is hardly a new issue, and my position has repeatedly been sustained in the past in 3RR/edit warring discussions. Removing BLP violations is exempt from the general 3RR/edit warring rule. Comments like this one [1] make clear Dekkappai's unwillingness to conform to expected standards of behavior; his editing behavior on these articles shows no good faith, and is fairly described as vandalous. Prior discussions have taken place (example here [2]), but discussion with editors who reject RS policy, as always, dead-ends. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 21:09, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I understand your point but HW you have been dragged to ANI over similar things before, just be thankful i have not taken it further, (thats the last time i go near a dirty article on page 3 girls like that eew!) --Lerdthenerd (talk) 09:00, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

also HW if your hovering by, you got reverted by Sarek, i suggest you discuss rather than revert him, it will only lead to trouble otherwise--Lerdthenerd (talk) 13:10, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

We went through this already, back in July. As admin KWW pointed out then, "But he [Wolfowitz] was not mistaken. Once he challenged the material, it needed to be removed until there was consensus to readd, especially since it's a blatantly obvious NFCC#1 violation. His removal makes it clear that there was not a consensus to restore the material. Anyone could have taken the material to FFD. If somehow a consensus was achieved that this was one of the vanishingly rare exceptions to the general agreement that copyrighted pictures cannot be used to illustrate BLPs, it could be restored. Until that agreement is reached, the image can't be in the article. It was the restoration that was disruptive, not the removal.—Kww(talk) 17:52, 29 July 2010 (UTC) A test case was also run at FFD [3] with a clear and strong consensus for deletion. There was lengthy discussion on the policy talk, without any resulting change in the policy language or enforcement practices.[4] Over the last few months, I've reviewed thousands of nonfree images, removing several hundred using virtually identical edit summaries and rationales, and the only significant controversy has come from a small group of users insisting on special treatment for articles about Japanese porn, and who press the same arguments repeatedly despite community rejection. We don't need to rehash a settled issue every time an old NFCC violation turns up. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 20:01, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

I understand your intentions, copyright is a serious thing over here, but when you come up against a brick wall with another editor you don't just continue edit warring them, especially in your case where you are being carefully watched by admins waiting for you to slip. Seriously i get your opinion, I was in a similar situation over pictures in my early days here but on the otherside of the argument, i was trying to stop someone removing them (this was under NFCC 3 and 8 though), because there was a consensus against them, in the end my side lost as soon as more editors stepped in, and i lost my rollback (for being naughty, i used it to edit war), basically i'm saying no matter how wrong the opposition is don't edit war, take it to the talk immediatly as soon as consensus arrives and tells them no you can't do that, then they should give up otherwise you have every right to report them to the appropriate venue for being disruptive--Lerdthenerd (talk) 09:43, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Lhasa

Would you be happy if somebody did this because they are a Chinese POV pusher and want to hide any sense of Tibetan historical identity to the article? I had fully intended writing the article and evening out sections and eventually promoting to GA like Sera Monastery. The messages i've received this morning have made me extemeely angry. I will stay away from wikipedia until I cool off. In the meantime I strongly suggest that the Lhasa article is allowed to develop and by worked on and that these people stop promoting the PRC and trying to hide Tibetan identity.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:42, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

no I wouldn't my fellow super villain, if i was not on wikipedia right now they would be dropped into my shark tank, but here we must remain civil, I suggest take time out on your wikibreak and calm down, shouting and swearing at people wont do any good--Lerdthenerd (talk) 10:46, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Dr. Blofeld, the diff you gave implies that I made all those changes, but you need to look at the page history more carefully. Moreover, his edits are not damning proof that he believes in the Chinese POV. And Lerdthenerd, be more careful with your reverts. you reversed an improvement of the wording on the Geography section. --HXL's Roundtable, and Record 16:33, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps if Pal and Mark didn't accuse Blofeld of being a messy, careless user and drove him to losing his temper, he may have not mistakenly thought you were involved, since you were discussing and editting along side Pal, yeah my revert was careless, but that was because i wanted to bring it back to the neutral version Blofeld made, if you didn't like it you or Pal could have reverted, mind you some of Blofelds talk pages comments to other users smelt of WP:OWN, we don't own articles here anyone is entitled to edit Lhasa but don't upset other users--Lerdthenerd (talk) 17:21, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I will take a break. But please take note of what's happened to the Lhasa article. It is fine to cover monuments I needed to condense it and write the rest of the article to balance it out but the comments made were way off. Notice they've also restored the PRC counties of Lhasa Prefecture to the Lhasa article when the article about the urban space should be seperate from the prefecture itself. But for PRC reasons they've remerged them. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:55, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I've condensed it and split into a seperate article. I strongly suspect anybody who does such a thing to a Tibet related article, especially if I see they are Chinese on their user page. Google any Tibet related topic and you'll find the PRC POV and propoganda on anything Lhasa related. The Peacful liberation monument which I've included within the article as it is a notable landmark now is a joke, a front to hide what they did to Tibet as if it was really done "peacefully". I'm sure you've heard stories of the burning of thousands of monaseteries and monks made to kill each other.... . Unlike certain other people though I ensure that articles I created are neutral.... The article should be fine now and if the other sections were written properly it would be satisfactory. All they had to do is say can you condense this it is too bloated. And I'd have done it within minutes. But if you actually look at the tone of the message I got.. Right I'm off now. Please ensure that they don't get up to any tricks in my absence. The article about the prefecture should contain the politicial info for the counties and in due course a summary of notable landmarks like Sera Monastery (funnily I and Nvvchar "messed" it up and it resulted in a Tibetan GA) which are not mentioned in the Lhasa article has they are not in the city but in the surrounding prefecture. There is absoluterly no reason why we can't have an article about the urban area itself and one about the prefecture which covers mostly rural areas. Lhasa is a big enough city to constitute both. 12:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC) ^{unsigned comment by Blofeld}

Hello Blofeld again, just before you did all that I reverted Lhasa back to yours for you, HXL and Pal didn't object, perhaps they've seen their mistake--Lerdthenerd (talk) 12:31, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Of course I object. And also I saw what Dr. Blofeld wrote on my talk page before you very nicely rv'ed it. That is clearly inflammatory wikipedia:personal attack. POV pusher like Dr. Blofeld who don't even try listening to other people are why wikipedia why never be taken seriously. Here you have an article on the city of Lhasa where the demographics section have no real cited numbers and a claim by an exile government that the Chinese government is causing attacks. All I want is the numbers from the census. I don't even object you adding the exile government statement. And here's the thing, he doesn't even try to discuss it on the talk page before unilarally changing everything and attacking me. For the record, I'm not even Chinese or Tibetan. I have no POV to push. I just wanted it read like a real city article. Thanks to people like Dr. Blofeld, I will probably never give a s*** about wikipedia again. You POV pushers can do whatever you want. I will just use britannica.

And also one more thing from your assumptions, I don't know this HXL person. We just happened to edit at the same time and right here again you start assuming 'us' as some kind of team of bandits. Fine, whatever, keep assuming whatever you want. Pal2002 (talk) 18:07, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I reverted it because it was rude, thanks for complimenting it was nothing really. However you must have driven him to lose his temper like that, he has gone around shouting and ranting about it before his wikibreak, if this is the case that neither side are communicating i suggest you both learn to start communicate effectively on the article talkpage over any big changes so you are both in agreement (this way their will be no edit wars or names/insults/threats thrown about like yesterday.), as I've said to HXL I also smell WP:OWN in this argument which blofeld is to blame for as well as you PAL2002, neither you own any articles here, any one is entitled to change them from now on.--Lerdthenerd (talk) 09:15, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

HI there. Thanks for the infobox. You don't need to add an expand section tag at the top though. That is what stub tag are for at the bottom. Also stubs as long as they are sourced and assert notability are unlikely to be deleted, especially not mine...♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:53, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

well you were being silly in your edit summary, when users see BLANKING IN PROGRESS as your edit summary they are going to automatically think you are being unconstructive, next time put something sensible like 'adding a space' keep up the good work--Lerdthenerd (talk) 10:24, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

well don't write that in your edit summary again, you have a history of vandalisng articles such as Owen Wilson so becareful next time so editors here don't think your back to your old habits--Lerdthenerd (talk) 10:39, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

and dont tell me my warning was vandalism it was not, I am an etabilished user here and have been editting probably far longer than you, I still make mistakes but don't call them vandalism just put 'removing good faith warning' --Lerdthenerd (talk) 10:41, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

You are special

I am undoing someone constantly reported for nonconstructive edits and now you tell me about edit war? If you identify a unknown ip constantly running across wiki and reverting content that looks like vandalism. Now you report me for trying to stop a vandalism. As oppose to deal with this ip you bring this stuff to me.--Halqh حَلَقَة הלכהሐላቃህ (talk) 17:48, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Removed rollback rights

I just removed your rollback rights again, because I've seen a number of errors over the past couple of days, such as here, which was baiting, not vandalism; here, which restored vandalism; and here, which was more a content dispute that outright vandalism. These are fairly minor errors, so I would assume that you will be able to get the bit back after practicing doing it the slower way for a while. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:49, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Ingrid was not a dispute I was reverting a BLP violation, secondly both editors on the second diff were vandalising, the last one blanked half the article rather than reverting the vandalism and the first one was fishy because the user was shouting in there edit summary, I shall wait and do some manual reverts though I have told you why I disagree with you removing my rollback--Lerdthenerd (talk) 17:59, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Where was the BLP violation in Pitt's article? --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:05, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

the user i reverted referred the subject as working in a brothel with out a source and disguised it with a constructive edit--Lerdthenerd (talk) 18:06, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

No, it referred to the subject as playing a brothel owner, not being one. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:12, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Concur with the Vulcan. Give it at least a month or so of good reverting without the tool bit, should be no issue re-requesting. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 12:37, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Notification on ANI

Hi. I didn't intend to imply misbehavior on your part there. :) My wording was selected in case you had notified him or her somewhere else, say at an article talk page, that I did not see. That said, it's a good idea to notify all parties, because sometimes they have relevant input. For instance, I might have blocked the IP had I known that Mercy had left a message at a prior talk page, since the behavior continued. It just makes sure that all factors are fully considered. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:11, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Moonriddengirl, I can't read the ANI at the moment from where I'm working, I'll read it later.--Lerdthenerd (talk) 13:13, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Regarding trolls like that

For future reference, please do not undo those edits individually, as they all have to be RevDel'd. Instead, open up the history and revert it to the revision immediately prior to the first one. —Jeremy ^{(v^_^v Hyper Combo K.O.!)} 09:24, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

ok, but its tough without extra tools, the troll is still active so PMdrive and other admin's talk pages need to be monitored--Lerdthenerd wiki defender 09:26, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Not really. All you have to do, like I said, is open the history, click on the diff for the revision immediately before the attack, hit "edit this page", type in "rvv" or summat in the edit summary box, and hit save page. PMDrive's TP is now semi'd, and the socks are being dealt with behind-the-scenes, so to speak. —Jeremy ^{(v^_^v Hyper Combo K.O.!)} 09:31, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
