there is nothing wrong with what i added to the Wandy Rodriguez page. Besides, i only added the last paragraph. The other stuff was put there by someone else. The last paragraph is relevant to his current situation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobizzle (talk • contribs) 22:17, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

RE: User talk:BetacommandBot

The information contained in that header is valuable for anybody with questions with regards to copyright information. I find it quite helpful. Users who think it is productive go go around making such edits as tagging pages as "banned" are another issue, but there is nothing I can do to help such users. I don't really think the info is bitey though. Also, looking at the history, I don't think we have to be concerned with many people posting questions there. - Rjd0060 (talk) 19:04, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

I understand and for the most part agree. I just don't think that is bitey. It is clear and concise, to the point, but copyright can be a confusing area and being blunt sometimes is the best way to explain things. Unless I've missed something specific there, I honestly don't see the concern. Regards, - Rjd0060 (talk) 19:17, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, I won't be reverting - I just don't see the need to remove all of the information, and plaster the "BANNED" notice at the top. I missed #11 there when I was reading it. Perhaps the other items can be rewritten a bit. I don't mean to put you off of doing it, as it is certainly not my page. To reiterate, my only concern was the removal of all of the information and the notice. - Rjd0060 (talk) 19:29, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Au Revoir

Instead of using AFD, you could have found consensus to merge at Wikipedia:MRFD to enforce any resulting redirects. Might be something to keep in mind for later. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:25, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. I will keep that in mind for the future. I do feel that in these cases, deletion is the best way to get it to stick. Otherwise, I have to watch the page closely because someone is bound to restore the information I removed. It's happened too many times to count. I feel the best way would be to delete, create anew as a redirect, and protect the page. Enigma^msg 14:44, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Enigmaman - I closed the AfD per your withdrawl and being willing to merge the articles. After closing the AfD itself, I found out that somebody needed to use this computer in a hurry, so I was rushed and only hope that I did the multi-nomination closure formatting correctly. Best, Jamie^☆S93 20:29, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

I reopened. An admin has to close it because another editor also favors deletion. Enigma^msg 00:49, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Okay, that's fine. From my experience at AfD, though, there is nothing wrong with withdrawing even after somebody has !voted for deletion, and I've never heard that it'd require an admin. But if you'd prefer an admin to have the final say in the closure, I'm cool with that, and feel free to do what you want. :) Best, Jamie^☆S93 02:05, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm fairly certain that a nominator can only withdraw an AfD if there are no other delete !votes. Once there are, it's out of the nominator's hands. This is similar to how the creator of an article cannot request deletion based on being the creator if others have contributed. Enigma^msg 03:45, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Let 'Em Bleed: The Mixxtape series

Each album in the series peaked on the Billboard charts. They are notable. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 02:02, 11 April 2009 (UTC))

Re: Question

Hmm, probably not a SNOW close at the moment. I usually close an AfD early when at least 5 editors (aside from the nominator) unanimously agree. Otherwise, it's usually better to simply let the discussion run its course. Cheers, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 22:15, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

No wonder people leave here all the time, the vandals keep winning.

Well, my concerns have been ignored and the listings removed from AIV with no action. No wonder people leave here all the time, the vandals keep winning. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 05:42, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and by the way, 65.73.168.122 (talk · contribs) is clearly the same person, no matter that it's an IP address, since they have edited nothing but movie articles. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 05:46, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I am not an administrator. I was just explaining why the report was declined. Admins at AIV tend to be strict in application of blocks. You can bring your concerns to another administrator if you feel strongly about it. Enigma^msg 12:53, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

If you can show me diffs of whatever the problem is then I'll take a look. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 13:10, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Not to speak for him, Pat, but here are the relevant article histories: [1] [2]. Vandalized both articles multiple times. Very possibly from a static IP, which has hit film articles in the past. Enigma^msg 13:20, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Seeing as it's probably just one person, we can just revert and/or protect once it gets out of control. For example, in the case of GRAWP, we didn't prevent page moves for new accounts until he got real annoying. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 21:28, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

RBIs

Actually, it should be RBIs, unless it is a columnar list. See, for example, discussion at [3].

See also the following analysis by KingTurtle: "The pluralization of the the abbreviation is RBIs not RBI. RBI is an acronym. The pluralization of acronyms is to add an s. To quote Wikipedia:Manual of Style, "Acronyms and initialisms are pluralized by adding -s or -es as with any other nouns (They produced three CD-ROMs in the first year; The laptops were produced with three different BIOSes in 2006)." RBI and HR will appear without the s in cases of statistical lists, like the backs of baseball cards and encyclopedia-style charts. RBIs and HRs are when used in sentences. This is not some outlandish, obtuse style. It is quite mainstream, and not just for RBIs, but for all acronyms. Kingturtle (talk) 12:39, 27 February 2009 (UTC)"Ethelh (talk) 18:13, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Kingturtle is incorrect. It is debatable, at best. Enigma^msg 04:32, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Dispute Resolution

Let's let the Arbitration Committee decide this, rather than use the lower levels. I won't waste my valuable time dealing with you. If necessary, we can handle this outside Wikipedia by outside arbitration, just like Major League Baseball uses outside arbitration. I am convinced of the rightness of my actions and won't be persuaded otherwise. User:AdirondackMan I know on solid authority, is not coming back to Wikipedia.

AdirondackMan, please stop socking. Using an IP to edit is not convincing anyone. We're not taking it to ArbCom because you want to be listed on a list you do not qualify for. If you persist in your disruption, you will be blocked. Enigma^msg 16:42, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, you posted this case on the conflict of interest noticeboard. We are now marking it as resolved as the user seems contrite and has promised not to repeat the behavior.

You may delete this too since your own talk page

Your own talk page and my final answer, I still believe your edits and actions which only against me, but not against Israeli POV users, were biased, and since your deletion actions came after my insist on Irgun's actions, they contain reprisal character. You may delete these comments on your reputation or keep your choice, and I won't reply any more possibly. Yet, I do stress suffering may only contain in terms of my complaint on your POV actions in relevant authorities, therefore are civil and of course not involving any further threats in real terms, in any way. Kasaalan (talk) 19:55, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Delete what? I didn't delete anything. I removed threats from my talk page. I have no idea what you're talking about. I have never edited an Irgun article in my life. I saw your POV additions to an article on my watchlist and removed them. You proceeded to edit war repeatedly, and then threaten me. I don't appreciate that. Enigma^msg 20:17, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

The edit wars you referring were mostly about, Irgun, List of Irgun attacks, Sir Gerald Kaufman's Gaza speech on Eitan Livni and their implementation on relevant articles. No threat involved, as I explained above, complaining about a users' actions is no threat suffering consequences was what I meant by that, also you warned me for edit wars, but not other users that started it, so you acting not neutral at all. Kasaalan (talk) 22:44, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Telling me to do as you say or I will "suffer the consequences" is a threat. I warned you because you were the most blatant violator, edit-warring across multiple articles. Find me someone else who has 4+ reverts on at least three articles in the past few days and maybe I'll report them as well. I warned you for violating 3RR, because you did. Enigma^msg 22:47, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

How "suffering consequences" in means of getting warned by admins is any threat. POV users try to delete even simplest main link articles to hide them from public. If you read the articles you can easily see all relevant to the same subject. They even try to claim a senior officer of an armed gang, is not responsible for his gang's actions and public bombings. The edit number is not relevant, but the intention matters. Kasaalan (talk) 22:50, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Edit warring is edit warring. Please see here for more information. You have no excuse for it. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 22:53, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

POV users try to delete crucial info with no good faith even my simplest and most neutral edits, trying to keep page as it is and on their terms categorically, disruptively undoing, yet only I got warned, not fair or neutral at all, let me just say that. Kasaalan (talk) 22:58, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I've asked you to go to WP:ANI please if you have a problem with other people. Thanks. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 23:51, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Still in the process of discussion page talks, but next step may be there, but is there also a page that I can seek 3rd party editors' opinions for the edits to solve issue without going that far, or is that the only way to go, thanks. My standpoint is still the same, but the discussion is closed for me, because discussing further on this issue won't help anyway. Kasaalan (talk) 00:03, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

(Indent) - You can go to WP:THIRD and/or WP:DISPUTE to get other contributors to join in and attempt a fix for the dispute. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 00:06, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

That was exactly what I was asking, thanks. Kasaalan (talk) 00:16, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Good faith Edits

Hi Enigmaman,

I was just wondering why the edits referring to Chandana Paul's references, and postdoctoral affiliation were removed. I am unclear about good faith edits.

Follow up to discussion at MBisanz's talk page

Following up to this discussion, I wanted to inform you that instead of a second DRV (which would be a review of an article that wasn't deleted, which is weird), I've simply listed the article for deletion again. Now, I'm not that familiar with the canvassing rules so if you feel that violates that, please indicate so at this noticeboard. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:54, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Charlsie Cantey

Did you even watch the Triple Crown races over the past thirty years? And she's done much more than that, obviously.

It's funny it took me three years to realize she was missing from those broadcasts, but I wanted to find out what was going on.

Wikipedia was no help. Once I found details, I figured the woman deserved an article. I know it could stand improving, but I believe it's beyond the point of deletion.

I want to know more about Mike Battaglia and Donna Brothers too, so you can probably expect to see those next. Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 18:34, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
