IP user vandalism

The user who vandalized public domain also hit 255 (number). Just to let you know. I reverted those edits and then noticed you warnings on his page. Krj373 (talk) 22:45, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up, I reported them to AIV. RickinBaltimore (talk) 22:49, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

William E Dykes

The information about William E Dykes shooting is a fact. I have legal court papers to prove it....they are covering it up. This was my dad Nolakris (talk) 16:25, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

With all due respect, this is the kind of incident that really needs to have sources to be included. This is an allegation that carries a heavy amount of weight, even with the person involved now deceased. Unless you can give sources that this event occurred, it can't be on the article. RickinBaltimore (talk) 16:29, 13 January 2016 (UTC

Source Times Picayune April 1988 article. Mary Charlotte Vige Smith - widow. Lamar Keen - friend of Harold Bernard Vige who discovered the body. His article can be found Lamar Keen vs Louisiana Farmers Insurance and William E Dykes

Awesome, can you find a link to that article online? That would be an excellent source. RickinBaltimore (talk) 16:44, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Question about missing info (c/p from my user page)

Hey Rick,

I had some information for school on a page that was deleted. It was my only copy. How can I retrieve that?

You might want to contact an admin on this, along with the page that was deleted, as they might be able to assist. I'm not an admin, so I don't have the tools to locate this. RickinBaltimore (talk) 18:44, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Superbowl Halftime Shows

RickinBaltimore, you undid my edit to the superbowl halftime shows page because it was "not constructive". All I did was remove Tina Turner from the performers section of superbowl XXXIV because she did not perform in the halftime show of Superbowl XXXIV. Phil Collins, Enrique Egasias, Christina Agulera and Toni Braxton performed there. But not Tina Turner. So I'm not sure how my edit was not constructive. Pleasse advise.

Speedy deletion nomination of Rhode Island Rebellion (rugby league)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Rhode Island Rebellion (rugby league), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

No problem, that was quite a mess to clean. RickinBaltimore (talk) 21:11, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

FYI, I e-mailed wikipedia oversight and had them rev del those entries. They also did a pp. Cheers

Excuse me then

Well excuse me for trying to stop people from vandalizing, do you really believe that telling them to stop nicely will make them stop? You have to show them you're serious or eles they won't take you serious, that's how it is in the real world. P.S. It's not really "attacking" if I don't use my fist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.214.94.65 (talk) 21:14, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

There are ways of handling vandalism on Wikipedia civilly as seen here: WP:VAN, WP:INSULT. Calling people "dick sucking fanboys" is a blatant personal attack and NEVER should be used to notify a user of a vandal edit. RickinBaltimore (talk) 21:19, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Even if it was true, deserved and heartfelt. WP:Trolls and Wikipedia:Deny recognition should guide your responses. Wikipedia:Do not insult the vandals. They want recognition.

NXT TakeOver: Dallas

Hello, I would like to ask you if you can get somebody to semi-protect the NXT TakeOver: Dallas article, I've tried but I can't get anyone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.214.94.65 (talk) 01:40, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

The page was protected as of earlier this morning until 3/4/16, so you should see the vandalism slowing down at this point. RickinBaltimore (talk) 15:04, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

February 2016

Hello RickinBaltimore. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1), content (CSD A3), or significance (CSD A7) moments after they are created, as you did at Chander nath mishra. It's best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.Template:Z149 Adam9007 (talk) 22:19, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

I understand that, but this was an authbiographical article. It was purely promotional and was deleted soon after. I probably should have used CSD A7 instead for a non-notable person instead of little to no content. RickinBaltimore (talk) 13:28, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

You did use A7, but the point is you tagged it less than 2 minutes after its creation, and it was clearly nowhere near finished. Adam9007 (talk) 21:59, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Understandable however, it was a case where it was clearly a promotional/autobiographical article. It popped up in the new page feed, I reviewed at and noted it wasn't notable at all. However, I'll try to be more mindful in the future in case I happen to mistag (which I'm human, it'll happen!), so thanks for looking out, it's appreciated! RickinBaltimore (talk) 22:04, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm Adam9007. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Chander nath mishra, and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you. Adam9007 (talk) 22:20, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

RickinBaltimore): Is there a Wikipedia solution to this absurdity? [1], --Blue Indigo (talk) 15:59, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

• I wish I had an answer for you, but I don't have a direct one. I wouldn't try to take it personal, though I can obviously see why you would. If you see these edits, revert them, report the troll to the admins at WP:AIV and go from there. In this case, just try to ignore the troll. Hopefully they get tired of it and move on soon. Rest assured if I see this person keep it up, I'll revert and report. I'm not an admin, so i can't actually do the blocking however. RickinBaltimore (talk) 16:02, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

I'm leaning on the last one you said (gave some examples of reasonable edits on ANI). Still, a big pain when it comes to having to repeatedly revert 26 articles. Good thing we use an alphabet and not a logographic system with thousands of symbols... LjL (talk) 15:21, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert but it was not needed. I restored it as I was in the middle of composing an answer at the time. These kids need teaching how the system works, so a proper answer was needed. In the meantime, he was blocked by someone else.

Recent edits in Wikipedia

Hi Rick,

sorry for the recent editing on Wikipedia, but the IP address belongs to our school (George Salter Academy), so I guess some of our kids have edited Wikipedia. We have been banned before and frankly, if you want to block the ip address 80.193.248.94 that would be fine with us as we can't really control what our kids do on Wikipedia.

Best regards

I'm not an admin so I can't make that call, however we will just monitor edits from the IP as always and if anything comes in vandal wise, it'll be handled the usual way. If it gets too much the IP would e blocked temporarily. RickinBaltimore (talk) 13:08, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Read this here: WP:BLANKING. Yes they can on their talk page. The comments left can be removed by the editor. RickinBaltimore (talk) 18:49, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

can i remove my discussion page?--Mario Maraschi (talk) 18:52, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

As long as you aren't removing the following: (From WP:BLANKING)

A number of important matters may not be removed by the user—they are part of the wider community's processes:

Declined unblock requests regarding a currently active block and confirmed sockpuppetry related notices. Miscellany for deletion tags (while the discussion is in progress). Speedy deletion tags and requests for uninvolved administrator help (an administrator will quickly determine if these are valid or not; use the link embedded in the notice to object and post a comment, do not just remove the tag). For IP editors, templates and notes left to indicate other users share the same IP address and/or to whom the IP is registered, although very old content may be removed.

So yes, you can remove warnings, and other discussions from your talk page. You can archive these (which is preferred), or clear the page itself. RickinBaltimore (talk) 18:54, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

oh thanks, I apologize for the inconvenience--Mario Maraschi (talk) 18:59, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

OK, good. Take care and thanks again. H.dryad (talk) 15:18, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Deleting

Y'all deleted a page because you said it was not a notable person. But just because YOU don't know who he is doesn't mean he isn't notable. He is very well known and a person of importance here in Texas. And known in other states as well as a professional Bmx rider. I would like it if you put his page back Yb element (talk) 19:49, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

If he is as important as you claim, you MUST have independent reliable sources to show this. Just saying he's a well known BMX rider isn't enough. Has he been covered in the papers, or news anywhere? Can you show where he meets WP:BIO? RickinBaltimore (talk) 19:59, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Mount Fuji

Rick, Admiration for your efforts to improve the quality of many pages on en:Wikipedia. Mount Fuji is a heavily trafficked page and your recent anti vandalism work is greatly appreciated. Question: Do recent additions / article links in the intro para on Nichiren Buddhism on the Mount Fuji page constitute "product placement"? Or is this unconscious bias on my part? (I'm in need a third party sanity check). The Taisekiji temple must be a fine place, arguably deserves a line in the Mount Fuji history para, but has no UNESCO link or obvious connection with the mountain other than a shared geography. Wikipedia has a decent self correction function and ability to weed out editorial bias over time, but is there a more productive way to highlight / accelerate this process without causing an edit war? Aw1805 (talk) 02:05, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for reaching out to me on this. I read it over a few times, and it doesn't look like it's promotional to my eyes. It's neutral and it's basically stating a fact that the home of this sect of Buddhism (which has it's own page) is located. So for me, I'd leave it. RickinBaltimore (talk) 12:17, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
