Deletion of Fsix Corporation

I just noticed your deletion of "Fsix Corporation" (12:17, 27 September 2007) citing (CSD A7 (Corp): Article about a company that doesn't assert significance). I am a user of fsix products and a fan. I am new to editing Wiki and spent a very long time learning the editor to create the page. It was meant as a work in progress and I am planning to add a lot more and get other users to do the same. I don't think I can do that if I have to start over everything. I have read the page you referenced. While I agree that I need more content, I do not see any conflicts with the policy. I would like to request that you restore the page so that I can continue to improve it and get other users involved. Thanks

Vietnam during the Great War

Hi, you deleted the article before as a copyright infringement, and now it's been restored with the same content as it had before deletion. I can't figure out where it was copied from, since it was never tagged for a speedy, you didn't specify the source in the deletion message and a quick googling doesn't return matches, so I'll let you do the redeletion if you think it's necessary. Thanks. - Bobet 15:42, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't recall that specific article, but I know it is related to NapoleonQuang (talk · contribs) who I blocked for repeated copyright violations. NapoleonQuang seems to now be editing from 96.229.179.106 (talk · contribs) and potentially JacquesNguyen (talk · contribs). - auburnpilot talk 03:21, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Porter-Gaud School

I would like to thank you for fixing the vandalism on the Porter-Gaud wiki. Thank You,Jab843 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jab843 (talk • contribs) 01:37, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Thanks for the thanks. - auburnpilot talk 03:22, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Unblock requests

Thanks for taking care of that. I realized I'd skipped a step when they were still showing up as having not been handled in the IRC channel. When I went to take care of it, I wasn't sure if I was doing it right, but I decided to just go for it... EC. Anyway, thanks. Lara❤Love 03:38, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Ha! I had a feeling that you may be dropping me a line the same time I was dropping you one. :P Thanks for the congrats. It's like I told a couple people already: I feel like I just got hired for a new job and told by my boss, "Here's your office. Later." Just kind of figuring it out as I go. Thanks again. Lara❤Love 03:42, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

;-). No better way to figure things out than by just going for it. After my RfA, I was a bit hesitant to go beyond the most obvious blocks and speedies, but I quickly figured out the ins-and-outs of the tools. There's definitely a learning curve, and the admin's reading list only does so much. If you ever have any questions, don't hesitant to drop me a message. - auburnpilot talk 03:48, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

George W. Bush discussion

Will you please delete the discussion I created about Bush harboring a terrorist a Florida? I don't want to be perceived as anti-American. Pistolpierre (talk) 04:12, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

I can't delete it in the since of an admin deleting an article, but I can archive it if you wish. - auburnpilot talk 04:13, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and moved the section to the current archive. - auburnpilot talk 04:22, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

unprotect Japanese expansionism

Little bit of advice, please

Can you take a look at my troubles on Endowment (Latter Day Saints) and give me advice as to my next steps? To fill you in on background, there are aspects of the LDS that they keep shrouded. The articles that cover them are frequently mutilated by people cutting swaths of text or images. This editor, while shouting "excessive detail", is deleting the exact same portion of text as Mormons that were more upfront about their motives. He's a bit of a problem editor (see the edit history on RealGM), but not quite a vandal.Kww (talk) 12:49, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Sure, I'll take a look. On another issue, do you recall where Natalee Holloway was born? I've been adding a source, that was removed, and as soon as I made a comment on the talk page, I remembered that she may in fact have been born in Mississippi. Any thoughts? - auburnpilot talk 14:46, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I just spent 10 minutes looking when I saw the latest reversion. He seems to be right, that we don't have a source for Mountain Brook being her birthplace, even though it is clearly where she has lived the majority of her life. Do you have any of the various books? I can only see online stuff. I tried searching for "Natalee Holloway geboorteplaats" to see if I could find a Dutch source, and no luck there, either.Kww (talk) 14:57, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I added a couple sources to the talk page, but nothing conclusive. As to the Endowment (Latter Day Saints) situation, it doesn't appear to be a large enough issue to initiate a request for comment, and I agree that it isn't necessarily vandalism, so a semi-protection would probably be inappropriate at this time. Maybe request a third opinion, as it seems this user has been blanking this information for quite sometime. If he refuses to discuss it, protection may be the only option. At least if it's protected, he'll have no choice but to engage on the talk page. His argument that the information is excessive detail obviously isn't supported by policy, so his blanking of the text is disruptive. - auburnpilot talk 15:13, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Professor Boris

Judging from his talk page and his additions to other talk pages for articles, Professor Boris may need a bit more education about the proper use of talk pages.Kww (talk) 05:40, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

His last comment makes it quite clear he still doesn't understand the purpose of talk pages. I'll keep an eye on him. - auburnpilot talk 15:26, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Vandals

Nobody is going to stop vandalising Wikipedia, sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.191.222.66 (talk) 14:48, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

You may not stop voluntarily, but we can easily disable your ability to edit. See our blocking policy and article protection policy for more information. - auburnpilot talk 15:26, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Pistolpierre

I have seen you blocked him 10 days ago for being a troll. I just want to make you notice that he has striken again, this time on Talk:Nicolas Sarkozy#Categorization_.22People_with_Jewish_Descent.22. Given this http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User:Pistolpierre perhaps a lifetime sentence would be appropriate this time? Thanks. Med (talk) 04:00, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Pistolpierre is clearly continuing the same behavior that I blocked him for previously. His edits to your talk page are unacceptable, and I've left a warning on his talk page. - auburnpilot talk 21:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Natalee Holloway

Sorry for my (probable) mess up with the citation. I've changed the citation to another article that lists Clinton, Miss as her birthplace, however I do not have a url for the article. I can email you a copy of the article, if you so wish. --Rise Above The Vile 22:02, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for updating the citation. I figured you probably just copied the article's title incorrectly, and there's no need to email me the article. I made a few phone calls, and everyone I spoke to believed Clinton, MS is the correct birth place. For obvious reasons, I just couldn't cite my calls as a source. - auburnpilot talk 22:05, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Edit protect needed with frontpage article?

Hi, can you please have a look at 2007_civil_unrest_in_Villiers-le-Bel_(France) and maybe leave a note on the discussion page to calm the mood a little. The page is been edited left right and center and I don't want to do any more moves/edits as I think it would be counter productive. I think we are trying to limit facts on the article but if you have another opinion please feel free to intervene. FFMG (talk) 19:26, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Jersyko (talk · contribs) appears to have stepped in and blocked one of the warring editors. - auburnpilot talk 22:16, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

DYK clear

Did you clear DYK without sending the thank you templates or checking with the updater User:Carabinieri? --TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 21:31, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Carabinieri (talk · contribs) updated the DYK tempate at 16:52, 29 November 2007 but neglected to clear the next update so that the new DYK hooks could be added. I cleared it so that next update could be prepared. As far as the thank you notes go, you are welcome to check Carabinieri's contribs as s/he was the updater. - auburnpilot talk 22:04, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
