As promised

While I'm not opposing the FAC, I've made my position clear on that spammy German title here. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:49, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FIMI

Hi Kevin! Thanks for removing that info from Hitparadeitalia. Is it a fake chart? I think Punkox is back again, as Rayos19 (talk · contribs) (I'm not sure, the editing pattern seems similar). Also, I've asked this before, currently an album article is Just Whitney.... But I don't think full stops have importance (like "You Make Me Wanna", Happy Christmas (Jessica Simpson album)). Can you move it back to Just Whitney? Thanks! Novice7 (talk) 16:21, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks. As for Just Whitney, I'll discuss it on its talk page. Ooh, sorry. The website did seem a bit weird to me. Anyway, thanks! Novice7 (talk) 02:57, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Update: The Hitparade Italia website uses Musica e Dischi as a source. Musica e Dischi is an Italian Music Journal (like Billboard). Is that reliable? Novice7 (talk) 05:32, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I saw this. It says "By Tuttamusica and Musica e dischi". I don't know what Tuttamusica is though. Novice7 (talk) 05:47, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Now I see. I'll take a look at Musica e Dishi, or ask someone with a subscription. Novice7 (talk) 05:57, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

30 STM

I saw the old revisions so I removed the genre. Allmusic "style" is secondary to the review which states "prog metal beats". Allmusic doesn't mention post-grunge in its review. Post-grunge is quite different from prog metal or space rock. And there isn't any source that describes this as a post-grunge album. There isn't any reason for add the genre to the article and I think that that source isn't used correctly.--Сказал (talk) 22:04, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Marking an IP as a "Vandalism-only account"

[1]. I may not be right. Isn't it incorrect to mark an IP as a vandalism-only account?Jasper Deng (talk) 00:43, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But in any case, the vandalism problem was solved.Jasper Deng (talk) 04:46, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And Then We Kiss

The source does say the song charted:

In November 2005, Spears released her first remix album, B In The Mix: The Remixes. The songs ranged from "...Baby One More Time" to "Toxic". Her newest single "Someday (I Will Understand)" was also remixed. Another single, "And Then We Kiss", was only released in Asia, where it charted in many countries. The song peaked at number 15 on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart despite it not being officially released in the U.S. It also peaked at #13 on Australia's Hot 30 Countdown despite not being officially released. - http://www.uproxx.com/page/Britney+Spears

Plus, Billboard does not show any chart position for Unusual You or Shattered Glass either.

- http://www.billboard.com/#/song/britney-spears/unusual-you/12074402 - http://www.billboard.com/#/song/britney-spears/shattered-glass/12074400

Yet, they charted (see the articles) and have their own articles. - Sauloviegas (talk) 18:44, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Fox and the Hound

A bit excessive on the protection now are we? How about trying to just block the accounts and the ip before we go to the extreme of full protection for half a year.--Jojhutton (talk) 01:04, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Fox and the Hound seems to still be fully protected. I know that you stated that if their was consensus to remove the full protection you would, but last time I checked the ANI discussion seems to have stalled. Is there another forum that you would prefer or is within guidelines that we can get a clear discussion going on this matter?--Jojhutton (talk) 17:17, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The website I found Akon's birth name.

Ok the website is http://www.myicore.com/music/akon-the-real-life-story-of-aliaune-badara-thiam/ in the first part. Thanks for your patience. RobertRay45821 (talk) 02:34, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Um, really I don't know what your talking about.

{{help me}} Hi Kww. I do not understand why that's not a good website to prove that that's his real name. Go to http://www.ask.com/ and search for "Aliaune Damala Dakha Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam". I see it everywhere. If it is good enough to add something, tell me becajuse I am a little confused. Ok thanks. RobertRay45821 (talk) 02:47, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The websites you found were not reliable sources - because they do not have a 'reputation for fact-checking and accuracy', or 'editorial control'.

Examples of reliable sources are: Newspapers, books, magazines, or certain websites (such as CNN or BBC News). Please read WP:SOURCES. Cheers, Chzz ► 03:19, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Punkox

You're right. I started an SPI, but I have no evidence of him being Punkox. Almost all the IPs editing Irresistible and A Little Bit are from Lima. I'll surely let you know when he's back again. It's easy, he'll most probably edit Irresistible. Novice7 (talk) 05:20, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll surely let you know next time I spot him. Punkox seems to know a lot about Simpson. Too bad he edit wars a lot, and adds unsourced information. Novice7 (talk) 05:27, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kevin! Can you take a look at this. Is the chart really reliable? Novice7 (talk) 12:40, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Colonel Warden

Im coming very late to this, and i know its closed, but thank you for the summary of apparently deceitful redirect reversions in your comment at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Colonel Warden. I had wondered last year why this editor was defending some (in my opinion) highly unnnotable articles. I didnt know that others had noticed these behaviors. Now I dont feel so bad for almost always disagreeing with one editor. I hope he can stop this behavior, but your list is a smoking gun showing a pattern unlikely to be changed. If he continues to do this kind of work, and another administrative proceeding is held which i for whatever reason dont get alerted to, feel free to inform me. Of course, if i see a change from him, i will be among the first to thank him and encourage him.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 17:41, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vandals

Hi Kev. Can you do something about Jesal33 (talk · contribs) and his sock Jesal333 (talk · contribs). The former kept on vandalizing Rajkot. The latter added the same content a few moments before. Novice7 (talk) 16:49, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. There are a lot of accounts vandalizing the same page. I had to ask for a protection to stop them. Would they be the same users? Novice7 (talk) 16:54, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I guessed that too. Probably from North India. I'll keep a look out for more edits. Thanks for helping me out. Novice7 (talk) 17:17, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A question Kev. If Dutch 100 chart is included on a song article, can Tipparade chart be included too? Like in "Irresistible", I found this. It shows a position of number ten. Also, I saw these edits by Punkox. Seems like he wants to set Simpson pages right. Novice7 (talk) 11:47, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I didn't know about that. Novice7 (talk) 14:08, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Elissa AFD copyright/licensing issues

I've finally managed to put together a moderately readable response to your comment/request at this AFD [2]. The article is a real mess, with text cut-and-pasted from multiple other sites, including a mirror of a deleted WP article, and I don't see any way to handle the copyright/licensing problems except to repeat the original deletion. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 04:51, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your "bon volonté" kww and your concerns Hullaballoo Wolfowitz. Look, my version was a cut down version of what existed. So copyright issues may still be there. Most of the article is basically from internal sources of Elissa website and fansites and is copied word for word. But since I do have the experience and I am very neutral at the same time, I am volunteering to write an article from scratch just avoiding any cut and paste whatsoever from existing materials except the bare essential facts and very down to earth brand new article without depending on whatever exists now. How about that. I will need a week or so to do this though, as I am too busy werldwayd (talk) 00:41, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New proposed article for Elissa (singer)

As I promised, here is a completely fresh article prepared by me User:Werldwayd/Articles-Test that addressed the issues raised against the former version. Hopefully this will be adopted with my sincere wish that the article remains semi-protected and that only well-established editors can edit. werldwayd (talk) 08:52, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do not remove others' comments from talk pages

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:Vanessa_Hudgens, you may be blocked from editing. User:RenamedUser5 (talk) 20:07, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that removing her comments are the right way to proceed here. I think you should probably involve an admin at this point - there seems to be some very suspicious stuff going on, and I think that there is a lot of reason to believe that we're being gaslighted by "<FAKE NAME>". Let the admin weigh in, and they'll likely remove the comments. Otherwise, ignoring her and keeping an eye on her editing behavior might be prudent. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 05:08, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I understand what you're saying. I just wanted to let people know because that article really got no exposure to edits, and I want people to see it and put in their input. I was in no way what-so-ever campaigning to get the article deleted. ℥^nding·start 16:40, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PC and SPI

I'm curious about your comment that PC makes SPI more difficult. I don't doubt you as I have little experience with SPI. However, I'm not clear on what it is about PC specifically that disrupts a SPI. Thanks for your support in the PC discussion. —UncleDouggie (talk) 05:29, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Block an account

So Kevin, I have an alternate account which I don't want to use. Does Wikipedia rules permit blocking of that account? The account is Mag41 (talk · contribs). If Wikipedia does permit, can you do an indef? Thanks! Novice7 (talk) 08:02, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I use it (rarely) when I am editing from any public computers and mobiles. I don't edit from both of them anymore, so I felt the account is of no use. If it cannot be blocked, it's okay. I'll not log in or edit from that account. Novice7 (talk) 14:55, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kevin, I have a small question. I don't know if I am allowed to ask this, but, does indef block (in case of Nathan) mean he cannot edit his talk page too? I don't know much about blocks, so I thought I should ask you. He is such an amazing editor and has helped me out on everything. We were working on a project together :( Novice7 (talk) 17:21, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I saw the SPI. I hope he gets unblocked soon. I mean, he works so hard on all Mariah Carey articles, and also helped me out on Whitney Houston articles. He was working on a joint project with me and User:Candyo32. But now, I don't know what to say. I also know what happened between Tbhotch and Nathan. Kevin, there is an issue too (not related with Nathan). An IP keeps on removing information about Susan Boyle cover from "I Know Him So Well" stating "it plummeted from its peak position and so is not notable". I have opened a discussion on Talk:I Know Him So Well. Can you comment? I don't know what to say (I've tried my best to explain). Novice7 (talk) 04:17, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Brittany Murphy

Please see my discussion with Ianmacm on this topic.

If the citation to the death certificate is necessary with regard to Sharon Murphy then it follows that the citation to the birth certificate is necessary with regard to Angelo Bertolotti since he does not appear on that copy of the death certificate (although this has subsequently been amended)

Any attempt to enforce a double standard could be read as an attempt to undermine Angelo Bertolotti's claim to be Brittany's father on behalf of Sharon Murphy.

Please explain why the birth cerificate is unreliable and the death certificate is not (W090584 (talk) 16:10, 4 April 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Charles Harrelson Edit War

Kevin, I believe that Nkgal is censoring my edits without justification. I have attempted to include facts about Charles Harrelson and the murder of Sam Degelia and each time Nkgal simply removes them citing copyright policy. The fact is that the content and reference material is not copyrighted. Can you please look at the edits I have made and verify that there is no copyright violation. I have read the wiki policy of copyright and verfiability and I do not see any violation of wiki policy. Please advise. Thank you. Sam Degelia (talk) 20:35, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nicki Minaj discography

'Auto update' [4] seems like a good idea, but, the ref [5] seems to say that the position is 54, not 34? Chzz ► 16:44, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah - I imagine because [6] says 'peak position 32' - however, that seems to be for the album; on the same ref page, it says the singles' peak pos is 54? Chzz ► 16:50, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) I'm confused. Did Pink Friday chart at number 32 or 34? And isn't "Girls Fall Like Dominoes" still at 54 (the new chart has yet to be released)? Yves (talk) 17:20, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm completely lost. Doing my taxes, will look at this in a few hours.—Kww(talk) 17:46, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. Though it could be sorted out by then; the new chart will be released in nine minutes. Yves (talk) 17:51, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think - I'm pretty sure - that the figure used by Kww was incorrect, as it referred to an album, not the single. But I don't want to cause problems by editing the page too often; hence asking. It's no big worry. Thanks. Chzz ► 17:54, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The new chart was just released (here) and "Girls Fall Like Dominoes" is now at number 32 this week. I believe Pink Friday is supposed to be at number 32 (peaked in March: source), but The OCC's archives haven't been updated yet. Yves (talk) 18:12, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I noticed you removed a few articles from pending protection that had been on long term trial, would you please avoid this without good reason as it will interfere with the possibility to easily see the long term trial articles that if they are to be removed will be removed in a single sweep, so to speak and then analysis can be done of the past and the difference in edit history from the overall removal date - it was especially Robbie Williams without reason removal that alerted me to this, Williams was one of the original trial articles, also as you are seemingly a strong opponent the trial even being in existence at this time perhaps its better if you leave the long term articles where they are till this is resolved, which will be quite soon anyways - I was wanting if there are many removals as a result of the RFC and as such the end of the long term trial to use this body of articles to see any differences between b4 and after, trial results from start to finish will imo be especially usefull from such high profile BLP articles, thanks. Off2riorob (talk) 20:18, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't seek them out. I convert the protection to standard protection when the notice pops up on my watchlist. The trial has been over for seven months. Certainly there has been enough data gleaned from the trial to evaluate it by now.—Kww(talk) 20:44, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No I wasn't suggesting you did and your log edit history doesn't reflect that either - it was just a request that as the issue is so close to being resolved please don't remove long term trial articles, please allow the trial to end and then there will be imo a simple single date to assess the data from start to end - You removed Robbie Williams from that group without imo any good reason at all. I would prefer it if you replaced him as an original trial article complete data start to finish, without such removals it will be hard enough to assess the data - although you feel the trial is over - it is clearly still ongoing on almost 1000 articles, no worries, please don't remove anymore start trial articles - you have waited seven months I am sure you can wait another couple of weeks and allow the trial group to be removed in one sweep so as to easily locate them for data assessment. Off2riorob (talk) 20:59, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think any interpretation of the trial supports the claim that articles shouldn't be returned to standard protection (or unprotected) as needed by normal editing. Protonk (talk) 21:47, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Asd140 now editing anonymously

It appears that User:Asd140 is editing Mike Patton-related articles again, this time by IP. I'm wondering if you think further blocks would be in order, or semi-protection for those articles? Wyatt Riot (talk) 21:24, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll keep an eye on it, and probably protect if it keeps up. I find it telling that none of the four accounts I blocked last night have bothered to request an unblock, but two of them have tried to sneak past the block.—Kww(talk) 22:11, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

SHL

I'm amused by Wikipedia:Short horizontal line, and halfway hope that it will be adopted. However, this line: the only one an editor can directly type is the hyphen seems to describe only one subset of users (namely, those who use brain-damaged operating systems like Microsoft Windows). All three SHLs are easily available from the keyboard of any Mac. An en-dash is "option-hyphen", and an em-dash is "shift-option-hyphen"—slightly different from, but no more work than, typing a capital letter or most standard punctuation marks.

You might want to think about a more accurate way of phrasing this sentence. WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:03, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kww. I was discussing a CSD with Wehwalt, and he referred me to you. The article in question is Flip Grater.

July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrike

Hello. I reverted your recent edit at July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrike because I did not understand what you meant by bad grammar and removing sources. I did not remove any sources that don't appear elsewhere in the article with the proper formatting or that do not constitute reliable sources. Feel free to fix the grammar, or if you must revert again, please explain which part you think is bad grammar. Also, you said to take my own advice and make the changes individually, but the problem is that I already have done this multiple times and V7-sport has reverted them all in a single hit, but as long as he is blocked form the article I am willing to go through and make the changes again individually. Thanks. Gregcaletta (talk) 05:27, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If I left out "a" that's not an excuse to revert. It's a reason to fix the grammar. It's necessary to point out that it was a separate attack rather than the same attack, and to remove this fact because one can't be bothered to fixed the grammar manually and typical of V7-sport's behaviour. However, I have always made my edits individual except when reverting V7-sports on reversions of my changes, so as long as he remain blocked I will not need to revert more than one edit at once. Thanks. Gregcaletta (talk) 23:17, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well I can honestly say that the article isn't misleading and that, in my opinion it reflects a neutral POV, but I can't say that the depute is over because communication has trailed off.

Question

A certain editor was blocked indefinitely just about a month ago by you for having a "compromised account". His attempted legendary "alternate accounts" were not, but they have remained thankfully unused (the ones that were registered). This editor has been back as an IP since April 12 in full force; and while he may have many wiki-friends around here, I have never been one of them and his editing retains the same bad-faith nature that it always did. Why was the account blocked in the first place? If there was supposed to be a clean start, he is openly flaunting his identity yet again. I think you probably know who I'm talking about, but I can spell it out for you if I need to. My understanding was that indefinitely blocked users cannot edit because they are indefinitely blocked. What's the deal? Is this some sort of open secret? Cheers... Doc talk 08:16, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I responded on my talkpage, and as usual he's calling me a "troll". He's blocked indefinitely and openly socking yet again. This is disgusting how low he's sunk (again, unless others are aware that this is him and are turning a "blind eye" because he's so "funny")... Doc talk 08:47, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Forget I even asked, as I already knew the answer. Bummer to be called a troll by someone like him, but if you grease the right palms, they'll be singing your praises and ignore all the lies and disgustingly bad faith. Thanks for your time anyway :> Doc talk 09:49, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question on ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 being used in Discographies

Hi Kevin, a fellow wikipedian has listed Backstreet Boys discography for featured list, see it here. The person who reviewed it, claims that 3-letter county abbreviations must correlate with ISO codes, his and my comments can be found in the middle of the review. What confuses me is that when I look at all of the Featured discographies, I can't find a single one that uses DEU for Germany or CHE for Switzerland, and the sample at Wikipedia:WikiProject Discographies/style also does not use ISO codes, just GER for Germany, SWI for Switzerland. But again the reviewing person states that those abbreviations may have all been surreptitiously changed, from DEU to GER, CHE to SWI. Has there been a resolution on this matter, I mean I don't see any editor trying to apply those ISO codes to discographies.--Harout72 (talk) 06:03, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kevin, I'm getting really annoyed by Nathan's continuous name calling me over to other people, most recent being this one, calling me "Troll DJ from India". He has previously called me other heinous things like "asshole, moody, creep" etc, completely violating WP:NPA, but this is getting ridiculous. just because I commented in one of the GAR that the original reviewer should have pointed out obvious prose concerns. And not only me, but he goes around attacking other reviewers just because they failed one of his nomination? Thats really a bad faith and douchebaggery. I believe you have dealt with this kinda behaviour from him before also, so you will be best to help me on this matter. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 12:01, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kevin, first of all I would appreciate you not attaching a threat to your notice. You can talk to me normally, I don't need to be threatened in any form. Secondly, I was not aware that I am not allowed to represent my feelings to another editor. I did not write this to him, it was in the form of a discussion on my page with another editor. This is not an attack in any way. Secondly, if so, I would appreciate if the same courtesy would be given to me. For the last weeks, Legolas has been constantly speaking about me negatively to others and assuming bad faith. This should also be stopped. I have many examples I'm afraid, which indeed hurt. Here he is assuming bad faith and assuming negatively on the review. and here is is insulting me and lying about me to Tbhotch Here and Here. I would appreciate it if he would stop bringing my name negatively constantly. As you see, he is not always the innocent one. Please respond Kevin, I know your busy but I'd like to know you've read this--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 22:24, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why you all keep saying my review. I did not review the article. I nominated it and some bimbo passed it without anything. Is that my fault? I wasn't even aware. Before you even question it, no he's not a sock of me, go ahead and check if you think so. So what you see is people constantly talking crap about me and its quite irritating. If thats alright, then I will do the same, just keeping the direct insults out of it. Or you can just tell everyone to kind their own flipping business and stop talking and stabbing people in the back. Thanks--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 22:48, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since he was unblocked he has been only attacking and harassing others:

(as well as re-assessing to his POV all Carey-related articles to high-priority in all Wikiprojects, when most of them hardly are mid-class). I don't know what's his problem, but comments like "I was not aware that I am not allowed to represent my feelings to another editor" when he perfectly knows that there is a policy. He wants people AGF on him after all those comments, and after this, please Nathan you are asking too much. Tbhotch* ^{۩ ۞} 21:00, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Axel, most of those are not attacks. Me telling Jivesh that I would love to quit here is not an attack. half of those aren't even talking about one person individually. And if I have a small and respected dispute with another editor, that did not involve any name calling, there is 'nothing wrong with that, and again, none of your business. Most of the reason I'm always so upset is because you all need to learn to mind your own freaking business. If Candy and I had a normal dispute, why is it your concern to go make a breakfast chat with Legolas over it? Don't you think that would be annoying. I would gladly never mention either of your names, but I ask for respect as well. Sure you aren't violating policy by speaking poorly about someone, but its a common courtesy. Be honest with yourself, you constantly instigate and try and gather little phrases and use it against me. I say this without trying to attack you, but grow up and leave me alone. Get on with your editing, and I will as well and just learn to criticize and talk smack about yourself and not others. If there is a policy issue, feel free to discuss it with me. Just because we are not friends does not mean you cannot write to me about an issue. And I hate to break it to you, but any of Carey's US or UK #1 singles should be high priority, I don't see your problem with everything. I obviously am not going to put "Angels Cry" as high, but again, instead of approaching me, you choose to instigate.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 21:08, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So according to you calling people "bastard", commenting that Legolaas is a "bi-polar [sic], moody, asshole (x2), two-faced troll from India, that I am a selfish user, that Jezhotwells is a lazy editor. I don't know you but regardless if they are not attacks, it is a serious violation of civility, and you can't deny it. Also, attempting to harass and give an ultimatum to Candyo just because he's not doing his part, and that you'll kick him out from a Wikiproject, which apparently you are trying to WP:OWN, is a serious problem Nathan. Also do not tell me to "grow up and leave me alone" in the same line, is simple illogical, first of all because this is not your talkpage and I can write here whenever I want, simple because you asked me to stopleaving utter crap on your talkpage. Nathan, unless you want to become the new Brexx attempting to edit Carey articles using sockpuppets, I suggest you to obey Kevin's suggestion. Any admin at any time will block your account if you continue façading your attacks as a "represent[ation of your] feelings to another editor", and believe me no one will unblock you this time. Tbhotch* ^{۩ ۞} 05:07, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I I see BS here. I never gave Candy an objection to kick him out of a WikiProject, what are you saying. We had a personal project, and I told him I'd do it myself, that has nothing to do with a WikiProject. Also, I am not a sockpuppet, I have actually invested a lot of time and work into Mariah Carey articles, so don't compare me to a vandal. I work hard to keep them nice. And yeah, last time I checked, you remove anything I leave on your talk page as well. All I ask is that you keep the negative opinions and bad-faith talks to yourself. Thats all, if you have a specific issue with a importance or anything, you can feel free to leave a message, as long as its respectful and not worded like your administrator. And I hate to break it to you, what I "did" is done everyday by many, so don't make it like I'm on a tight leash for it. As I've said, my work stands on its own. And no, whether I'm expressing myself or not, in the future I will not insult any of you, all I ask is the simple courtesy I mentioned.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 10:43, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nathan, please. When you are personally attacking somebody, just don't expect them to be courteous or graceful in reporting you. And your work has absolutely no relation to your personal attacks, which is becoming a headache. Either stop that or please leave. We don't need such foul-mouthed users, however many GAs they have done. And I'm saying in a nice way. And Tbhotch has every right to remove content from his talk page, just as same you remove the copyright warnings from yours. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 12:58, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, please Legolas, just analyze on just our relationship what happened prior to my "name calling". I think you gave plenty reason for it. Enough about that, minds were made up already. As I said, I won't insult or any such thing, but I expect some courtesy in the future. That is all. Find some other form of entertainment in the future.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 19:53, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message. Yes, I'm glad alptns90 is finally getting the hang of all this. The other user involved (Harout72) seems to have changed all the chart positions in the template and the sources to them. I have reverted it because of that reason. Harout72 was making pretty bold edits, and it should have been discussed on the talk page. It looks pretty odd to me, for example, "I'm Into You" has charted in several places, and that user removed them saying it's "not backed by sources", by sources he changed. I think I'm gonna leave him a little message on his talk page about this. ℥^nding·start 17:27, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Greenblatt page

The page for NBC executive Robert Greenblatt was deleted apparently because it was created by a banned user.

User:V7-sport and User:Iqinn

I would be interested to know your opinion as an administrator as to whether topic bans for either or both of these editors would be useful here. I am frustrated: it is practically a guarantee that any page that both of these editors touch will turn into a massive dispute with an incomprehensible edit history - a violation of the spirit of the edit warring policy whether or not technical violations of WP:3RR occur. Blocks don't seem to work and both editors are capable of writing well, so I am hopeful a solution can be found that keeps them part of the community. What are your thoughts? Kind regards! VQuakr (talk) 02:46, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I might as well post this here. I have similar interests as Iqinn (Terrorism) and have observed that he has little regard for what is written in the sources when it comes to writing what he wants to say on the encyclopedia. On Narang night raid he wrote "On February 24 U.S. forces issued an apology admitting that the U.S. had killed seven schoolboys and a neighboring shepherd" and sourced it to this. It is a complete misrepresentation of the source. He stands by that, stating: "i always and still believe that this is true and verified". [9] This false admission of US guilt, made up out of thin air has been up on the encyclopedia since he created the article on 17 August, 2010.

My sincere apologies for my part in any disputes, but what can be done about an editor who willfully misrepresents what the sources say to that degree? V7-sport (talk) 03:51, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Of several possibilities, one idea would be to pursue mediation to resolve the dispute without edit warring. A link to the appropriate location to start a case was posted on your user talk page. VQuakr (talk) 05:09, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring by V7 again

Can you please maybe suggest to V7 he promised to stop his edit warring on articles? I see you recently had warned him about this, and I don't want to have to report him which could result in a block. User: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3AV7-sport

He is edit-warring now here, with 3 reverts already in 24 hours, without using the talk page for discussion and gaining consensus. http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=United_States_and_state_terrorism&action=history

Thanks.BernieW650 (talk) 19:08, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was just coming over here to ask how this should be handled. BernieW65reverted me twice in under 5 minutes before I could write anything on the talk page. His edit summary was "I see you have recently been blocked for edit warring. This is your 3rd revert. If you revert again, I will report you." This is a "brand new" account and he is already resorting to edit warring. V7-sport (talk) 19:15, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to report you, and I've never had to report anyone before. I'm asking you to slow down and use the talk page first to gain consensus for big changes that are opposed, instead of reverting with edit summaries. Can you just please slow down and discuss first, and get some agreement with others? This is supposed to be a collaborative effort. And, I'm a long time IP editor. This is the first time I registered for an account. BernieW650 (talk) 19:20, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re KWW, :This user is reverting changes someone else originally had made. En masse. According to WP:BRD he needs to talk it out before reinstating, instead he has resorted to 3rr. Regardless, I hadn't even opened up the talk page before he reverted and now he is accusing ME of edit warring. V7-sport (talk) 20:01, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RE. BernieW650. That was exactly your 12th edit on this user name and you are edit warring complaining here. Asking me to "slow down" is pretty Ironic considering you had reverted me before I was able to open up the talk page for discussion. Those edits were originally made by Jehochman with consensus after another AFD. Despite you reverting them I went through them on good faith and picked out what was arguably not synthesis and restored it, only to have you blindly, without discussion revert the entire thing, run it up to 3rr and resort to threats. V7-sport (talk) 20:01, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

BernieW650 has been reverting content without even reading it. (Reverting in cite tag errors, spelling mistakes and redundancies in the text and was surprised by this even though he has done so multiple times.) Making an effort not to edit war here doesn't get you far when you are the only one trying to do so. V7-sport (talk) 23:18, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Possible GMC IP use

An IP (77.54.100.183) previously blocked after apparent use by GMC/LoveActresses/Phoebus de Lusignan is still being used to edit pages on minor nobility and actresses, the first such post-block usage coming just 2 days after Konakonian's demise, quickly followed by edits on Sir John Campbell, of Airds, a previous GMC and LoveA favorite. It does have some other edits on the Libyan insurrection, but has a distinct ducky quality to it, particularly given the past incident and it's geography (pt). Agricolae (talk) 06:23, 6 May 2011 (UTC) Just noticed, also edited John Say, another LoveA target, and Pilar López de Ayala a GMC target, and in a gift that keeps on giving, there the IP seems to be tag-teaming with 193.136.149.253, similar to another blocked GMC IP and elsewhere restoring Konakonian edits (and adding pedigrees to modern actresses, Lopez de Ayala and Helena Bonham Carter which quacks loudly).

Pending changes

I don't know if the trial is over, or admins are bolding re-protecting pages, and I don't care, but could you please not protect pages that have not had vandalism in a while or practically never?

Barry Chamish‎ and Dustin Diamond‎

Hi, I have replaced the pending changes flag on these articles. There are specific BLP reasons for using it, and I didn't set it as part of a trial. This was marked clearly in the setting summary, but I understand that's sometimes easy to miss. I've left notes on the talk pages of the article explaining why the flag should not be removed (sorry, I should have done that before). I am happy to discuss what's the best approach for those articles either on their talk pages, or on mine. Thanks.--Scott Mac 09:06, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cease and desist.

Please do not remove FP from any BLPs without discussing the matter with the admin who placed the protection and inquiring into the circumstances. You many well be putting living people in danger of libels, or (as in one case) removing protection from the article of someone who has been libelled and complained. BLP articles need treated with the highest sensitivity - and certainly no form of protection ough to be removed without careful consideration of the specifics of the article. I will be examining the protections you have removed and restoring any on BLPs where there isn't a sign of such discussion. I would urge you to do that same. If you remove protection from any further BLPs without proper discussion and view of the specific impact to the article, I will block you as a precautionary measure.--Scott Mac 16:54, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Preventative block

Sorry, but I have asked you to stop and so have several others. We can discuss this on ANI, but you need to desist from removing flags from BLPs in the interim. It is dangerous and the consensus is at least questionable. I will unblock you when you indicate you will not restart.--Scott Mac 17:38, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Scott, please undo this block asap. The PC trial is over, and the consensus of the RfC was that it be removed from articles. Several admins have been doing this. SlimVirgin ^{TALK|CONTRIBS} 17:40, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Kww (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Pretty obvious. I've been systematically going though articles protected with Pending Changes and setting them to semi-protected or unprotected, based on my individual judgment as to the appropriate state, given the history of the article, the protection history of the article, and the results of anonymous edits during the trial period. I've invited any admin that disagrees with any individual decision to change it as he sees fit. Scott apparently believes that I need to have an individual consultation and discussion with every admin that placed the article under PC in the first place before undoing anything. That isn't the RFC result, and appears to be only supported by his individual judgment. The discussion at WP:ANI#Mass removal of Flagged revision from BLPs certainly isn't supportive of his position.

Accept reason:

Unblocking, but I strongly urge Kww to join the discussion before continuing. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:47, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you seriously not realize that you are flirting with being desysopped over this, Scott? If your desired effect was to get a lot of people angry with you and waste a few hours of my time, yes, it did something. Other than that, not so much: pending changes will be removed from virtually all articles on Wikipedia within a week. You will be far better off trying to figure out whether the articles you are concerned with require full-protection or not, or making some kind of strong, strong argument that the two articles you are risking your adminship over truly cannot be served by any other protection mechanism. "Scott thinks PC is hunky-dory" or the equivalent isn't going to cut it.—Kww(talk) 21:14, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have no issues with pending changes being removed from virtually all articles within a week. I've never been its greatest fan anyway, and I've always opposed its mass use as pointless. I have a problem with the way this has been handled and with the mantra that there cannot be exceptions. There are exceptions to every rule in wikipedia. The trial is over. Fine by me. I didn't participate in it, and didn't set any protections as part of it. However, I have used FR as one of the tools available to respond to BLP needs on particular articles. If that's to be removed it needs care. Your "well I'm just taking it away from them all now, and someone else can clean up any mess" approach isn't one we need near BLPs. It is dogmatic precisely where care, specific judgement and creative flexibility are needed.--Scott Mac 21:22, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What makes you feel that Kww is NOT reviewing each article and assigning protection accordingly as he stated? Jarkeld (talk) 21:27, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And yet, you haven't been able to demonstrate a single case of poor judgment on my part with regard to selection of an appropriate reprotection level. You haven't produced a single argument for why the two articles that you have wheel-warred over are two exception cases. But you have had time to criticize my judgment and techniques without providing a single concrete example of any damage done, block me, and open an Arbcom case against me when your best strategy would have been to duck your head and hope no one noticed the things you had done.—Kww(talk) 21:28, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First the case isn't against you. I have not asked, and would not support, any sanction against you. The case was to get a cessation to allow the issues to be addressed. There's no way the type of with the speed you were removing flagging at, and without inviting comment from the person setting the flagging, you can know whether your choice of unprotection or semi-protection would be adequate. Maybe, in fact, in most cases it will - but neither of us can be confident of that - and we always take the most cautious attitude with BLPs. Look, I do think one of the reasons we're at loggerheads is probably a failure on both our parts to differentiate between the majority of BLPs where flags were set "as part of the test". In these cases, the test being over, resetting to the protection level before the test is probably fine. But there are other cases where the admin has used the tool in response to a specific BLP problem with the article. In such cases, we need to revisit the issue and see if it can be adequately addressed with another tool. Perhaps in most cases it could be. But pragmatism is the watchword with BLPs I'm thinking the result of that failure to differentiate is that I've seen you as BLP-sloppy and you've interpreted me as opposing the end of some trial. As I say, I've no dog in that fight.--Scott Mac 21:46, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
