Coming here to ask why I reverted your edit? Read this page first...

Please leave me new messages at the bottom of the page; click here to start a new section at the bottom. I usually notice messages soon. I attempt to keep conversations in one location, as I find it easier to follow them that way when they are archived. If you open a new conversation here, I will respond to you here. Please watchlist this page or check back for my reply. If I have already left a message at your talk page, unless I've requested follow-up here or it is a standard template message, I am watching it. If you leave your reply here, I may respond at your talk page if it seems better for context. If you aren't sure if I'm watching your page, or I'm slow to reply, feel free to approach me here.

Welcome to my talk page! I am an administrator here on Wikipedia. That means I am here to help. It does not mean that I have any special status or something, it just means that I get to push a few extra buttons to help maintain this encyclopedia.

If you need help with something, feel free to ask. Click here to start a new topic.
If I have not made any edits in a while, (check) you may get a faster response by posting your request in a more centralized place.

If you need to get a repeat vandal blocked, you can report them to Administrator Intervention against Vandalism.
If you need a page to be protected from editing, try Requests for page protection.
If you would like to request rollback rights or account creator rights, Wikipedia:Requests for permissions is, well, that way... :)
If your problem does not fit into any of the above criteria, and your issue is urgent, you can:
1. Make a post on the Administrators' noticeboard, the Incidents noticeboard, or one of the other noticeboards.
2. Ask another administrator for help. Here is a complete List of Wikipedia Administrators.
If you want to ask for help, you can ask at the help desk for questions about Wikipedia, and at the reference desk for more general questions. You may also simply ask a question on your talk page and add {{helpme}} before your question. This will attract the attention of experienced users who will most likely be able to help you.

Did I delete your page, block you, or do something else that I should not have done?

First, please remember that I am not trying to attack you, demean you, or hurt you in any way. I am only trying to protect the integrity of this project. If I did something wrong, let me know, but remember that I am human, and I do make mistakes. Please keep your comments civil. If you vandalize this page or swear at me, you will not only decrease the likelihood of a response, your edits could get you blocked. (see WP:NPA)

When posting, do not assume I know which article you are talking about. If you leave a message saying "Why did you revert me?", I will not know what you mean. If you want a response consisting of something other than "What are you talking about", please include links and, if possible, diffs in your message. At the very least, mention the name of the article or user you are concerned with.
Also, if you sign your post (by typing four tildes - ~~~~ - at the end of your message), I will respond faster, and I will tend to be in a better mood, because unsigned comments are one of my pet peeves.

If you are blocked from editing, you cannot post here, but your talk page is most likely open for you to edit. To request a review of your block, add {{unblock|reason}} to your talk page. (replace reason with why you think you should not be blocked.) I watch the talk pages of everyone I block, so I will almost definitely see you make your request. If I am making edits (check Special:Contributions/Doug Weller) and I do not answer your request soon, or you cannot edit your talk page for some reason, you can try sending me an email. Please note, however, that I rarely check my email more than a few times a day, so it may be a couple of hours before I respond.

Administrators: If you see me do something that you think is wrong, I will not consider it wheel-warring if you undo my actions. I would, however, appreciate it if you let me know what I did wrong, so that I can avoid doing it in the future.

You can email me from this link but in the interests of Wiki-transparency, please message me on this page unless there are pressing reasons to do otherwise. Comments which I find to be uncivil, full of vulgarities, flame baiting, or that are are excessively rude may be deleted without response. If I choose not to answer, that's my right, don't keep putting it back. I'll just delete and get annoyed at you.

The Philosophers Stone

Doug, the Philosophers Stone link to the feature film is a valid link that does not violate wiki policy. I simply added a link to the Bog page after having read it and figured that more info on the band would be of value. I guess instead that I should have created a wiki for the band itself. That said I do not understand why you eliminated the entire line concerning the film Philosopher Stone.

Can you please explain? I have seen this film and it is online in several versions and it deals directly with the subject of the wiki in question. It has every reason to be listed.

I've responded on your talk page, but the film doesn't seem to have ever been shown in the cinemas, and why add the band just because they contributed to the film? This looks like publicity for what is essentially a self-published film and a band. Doug Weller (talk) 18:37, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sodom and Gomorrah

The reason I posted the change, I wanted to see how long conservative truth lasts on the Wikipedia page of a controversial subject and what kind of PC police force Wikipedia has, if any at all. Unbelievable! That revision lasted only minutes!

What I'd said was truth exposed, and that cannot be bigotry.

When you'd said that I'd removed "existing text." So, what's your point? That's what Wikipedia is all about. Wikipedia encourages people on this site to add, subtract and edit content with wreckless abandon, and you have to know that already. You've made it sound like nobody can touch this page, because it's set in stone. Well, let me give you the same advice that was given to me on this site. You don't own the "Sodom and Gomorrah" page. But, obviously, the page has people watching the site so closely that it not only doesn't pay to try to edit this page, it's shown itself to be of no value to anyone seeking conservative scholarship, if I'd have chosen to include some of that on that page.

However, I have to add that in order for me to have been really legit, I did need to cite sources. If I would've added sources to my comment, then what you did would've been really wrong, because all you seem to be about is slandering, marginalizing and eventually silencing the conservative voice.

Olsson "Editors"

Hey Doug, I would like your help again. Paul Smith and another editor 'Loremaster' have repeatedly harrassed Olsson at Wikipedia. Time after time they have removed all positive references and sources from her Wiki page. I cannot continue to deal with these people. Is there someone I can turn to for mediation? Thank You. Alexis

Sorry

I grew up in school with BC and I'm just not used to BCE yet. I'm not doing this for religious reasons. But sorry for the edit. AaronPaige (talk) 14:57, 22 June 2008 (EST)

Midewiwin

I see now that that was an unproductive edit. My apologies. ClovisPt (talk)

Ariobarza and Tundrabuggy

You commented on Ariobarza's talk page about his recent behaviour. Having reviewed his edits, I believe there are significant concerns that need to be addressed. I have raised this issue at WP:AN/I#User:Ariobarza.

You also commented a while back on Tundrabuggy's wikistalking of myself. I have raised this as well, at WP:AN/I#User:Tundrabuggy.

Please feel free to contribute to the discussion. -- ChrisO (talk) 20:20, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dougweller, do you want to block me? Or help with my research on HARD TO FIND material, that is why I joined Wikipedia, (remember what I told you in the begining) to make it has complete as possible, even if it ment trekking to the unknown realms of extreme research on hard to find things. Why did you nominate Battle of the Tigris for speedily delete a day after it was made? And why are you letting ChrisO AND Nikki.. Get away with discouraging me from EVER contributing to Wikipedia? These past few days have affected my school work, because I have to go on Wikipedia everday to see what latest things they have messed up. Go to the ANI page reread my boldened message, and my new message, if you have good faith and want respect and humility to continue between us. Thanks.--Ariobarza (talk) 17:12, 29 October 2008 (UTC)Ariobarza talk[reply]

I've tried since June to help you. You still have articles with no references from then and earlier, you shouldn't be creating new articles. Several editors have told you you should be using your userspace to create articles and only put then in article space when they are ready. I don't want to and of course won't block you. But you've been given a lot of leeway and advice which you should have listened to. I've said my piece on ANI, you should ask to be adopted and work on your earlier articles before creating any new ones. I'm sorry it's affected your schoolwork, but please don't blame other people for problems you've created yourself (which should be clear now unless you think virtually everyone else who has commented is wrong).
