The Great Revival: CVU Vandalism Studies Project
Hi! We're dropping you this rather unexpected message on your talk page because you signed up (either quite a while ago or rather recently) to be a member of the Vandalism Studies project. Sadly, the project fell into semi-retirement a few years ago, but as part of a new plan to fix up the Counter-Vandalism Unit, we're bringing back the Vandalism Studies project, with a new study planned for Late 2012! But we need your help. Are you still interested in working with us on this project? Then please sign up today! (even if you signed up previously, you'll still need to sign up again - we're redoing our member list in order to not harass those who are no longer active on the Wiki - sorry!) If you have any questions, please leave them on this page. Thanks, and we can't wait to bring the project back to life! -Theopolisme (talk) & Dan653 (talk), Coordinators

hi,
I cannot work out what is wrong with the Advamode wiki article. It is purely factual information about a public company, yet for some reason this guy Freshacconi keeps flagging it for speedy deletion, then telling me I am removing the speedy deletion notices, which I am not.
There is nothing wrong with the page, I have reviewed the guidelines twice and ensured that the article is fine.
Why am I still being pursued by Freshacconi? Furthermore, why am I unable to contact this person to resolve their concerns?

- Hi! I don't know how to get in touch with that person, other than on their talk page. You could try rewriting the article with a less promotional tone, making it less likely to be deleted as advertising/spam. Good luck and cheers! —This lousy T-shirt (talk) 18:51, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
Beer Canada
Hi, didn't realize I was removing 'speedy deletion notices' as I'm very new to creating pages. I have read the guidelines and article about creating my first article.
I do realize I published the 'Beer Canada' page before it was completed or properly reviewed. I'm not done with the page's text and am modelling it after the Beer Institute's Wiki page. Brittanymoorcroft (talk) 20:54, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

What's wrong with my edit? 85.202.40.145 (talk) 14:55, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- Two things. Firstly, it messed up the disambiguation page tag at the head of the article. Secondly, you put up a tag that the article was about an abstract, non-specific place and then changed abstract to real example and non-specific to North Korea. — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 15:14, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Autopatrolled
Hi This lousy T-shirt, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled right to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! AdmrBoltz 17:01, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you! I'm quite happy about this. :D — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 17:07, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- Quite simply I am tired of patrolling talk pages you create when you are at WP:UAA and WP:AIV :) --AdmrBoltz 17:10, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I think you made a mistake
First, why would adding the year to a Guinness world record be a "mistake"?
Second, why would adding "slave beasts" to the entry be a "mistake" when that is the name used by his "owners" in ALL his official internet postings? The entry already had "adorable fearsome dictator" and "prodigious Scotch drinker", which are terms used to identity the Colonel by his "owners" and the public. Slave beasts was (and is) how his "owners" identified themselves and should be allowed on his Wiki page for continuity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Streeten (talk • contribs) 19:07, 2 February 2014 (UTC) Streeten (talk) 19:09, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Do you have a link to one of those official Internet postings? If you do, you can add it back, with the source referenced beside it. As for the other, it's only February, isn't that too soon to hold a record for 2014? Especially with him dead now. Maybe 2013 though. — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 19:14, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
I apologize but I am knew here. I do not know how to source reference.
There are more than a dozen articles about the Colonel's passing that refer to his "owners" as "slave beasts". Here is one of them from CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/31/tech/social-media/apparently-this-matters-rip-colonel-meow/
Also, in several of the articles about his passing, it was stated that he would appear in the 2014 Guinness book but here is the link to the official Guinness page where his 2014 record is confirmed: http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2013/8/colonel-meow-the-cat-with-the-longest-fur-50832/
Would you be so kind as to help me properly source his page? Thank you very much. Streeten (talk) 19:30, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Of course I'll help. It's easy. I'll revert the page to your last version and add the sources you mentioned. Then I'll give you the link showing how I did it, so that you'll know how. It's easier to show than tell. :) — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 19:38, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Here's how it's done[1]. — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 19:45, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Thank you so much! It's really important that readers know that the Colonel did NOT have "owners", even if "slave beasts" is more outrageous (which is the precisely the point) than "caretakers". Thanks again! Streeten (talk) 19:51, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- You're welcome! :) — This lousy T-shirt — (talk)
New question
Since you've been SO helpful and made my day, may I impose on you with another question? A publicly known friend of mine who has a Wiki page has complained about his published page picture and his inability to have it changed, even though he is the person the page is about. Where would I find information as to why that is and if there is anything that can be done about it? Thank you, again, for all of your help. Streeten (talk) 20:05, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

I'd rather not say in a public space. Is there a way to give you the link privately? I really appreciate this. Streeten (talk) 20:16, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how to get the link to me privately. But I recommend asking at the TeaHouse. They'll be able to help you out without disrespecting your friend's privacy, which I want to respect as well.
