It should go without saying that trolling, vandalism, and personal attacks will be promptly removed. Thanks. IrishGuy

Proving a point

I'm sure you're aware of the bloody stupid conspiracy theorising about red signatures on your talk over at Wikipedia Review at the moment. As it's getting on my nerves, here's another red signature for you. Continue with the good work, I have no reason to think you're doing anything wrong.

OK. I just read that thread. Frankly, I've a pretty good idea who "Wikilove" is since he knew to search for an anonymous trolling comment that was deleted twenty minutes after it was posted.

Most of what he says is complete nonsense. As you pointed out, redlinks simply mean a userpage wasn't created (or was removed for some reason). A simple glance at the block logs for the various "redlinks" will show that none of them are blocked and therefore are in no way erased. A quick glance at the recent changes will show many redlinked usernames. Those users never bothered to create a userpage. It is fairly common.

I never tagged images uploaded by Hazer789. His one sentence article about himself was deleted numerous times. That I did do, but I never tagged any images. I don't generally do image deletions.

CandyLovesVampires wasn't "deleted as a sock". CandyLovesVampires isn't even blocked. She is, however, a sock. Under three different accounts she word-for-word recreated an article about herself and how she aspires to one day be a writer. That is a noble goal and should she acheive it, she may warrant an article. She just doesn't right now.

As for me "driving" users away. I'm not seeing it. He claimed that Glsvensson left. That editor's contributions show edits far after any comments left on this page. Cleary, the editor didn't leave. He/she even stated "I'll try again tomorrow" which is in no way a threat of leaving.

The redlinked user who was deleted AfD's (217.42.46.119) was warned repeatedly by numerous users and is now blocked for blanking the article and the AfD. He created the article and rather than argue in the AfD, he prefers to try and make it simply disappear. That is hardly a user who "clearly doesn't know the procedure for". Check his talk page. He knows the procedure, he just didn't care.

The band deletion conversation actually stretches back to a previously archived page here. The reasons were given and in her response, she even admitted "I accept your argument about promoting Rhythm Knowledge". How is his "driving a user away"?

Frankly, I'm pretty sure "Wikilove" is this guy and he has been harassing me and other users for months. He even got his college IP range blocked for weeks. Most everything he has posted on that site is directly refuted by actually looking at contributions and/or examining the entire conversation of a talk page...not simply cherry picking a sentence or two and claiming useful editors were driven away.

Thanks for dropping me a line about it. It was amusing to read the thread. Paranoid little guy, isn't he? IrishGuy ^talk 23:34, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Red Sox External Links

Hi, I restored a couple of the links you removed from the Red Sox page because WP:EL allows for blogs written by knowlegable sources to be used as external links. Black Harry (T|C) 19:08, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

deletion of my website.

I have no problem with your deleting my website link, however, Safety Bath (whose products I carry) has a link their site. May I ask what the difference is? Is this link to a variety of models more acceptable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheWalkInBathtubStore (talk • contribs)

Adding links to your own website is spamming. Please read WP:COI, WP:EL, and WP:SPAM. IrishGuy ^talk 19:24, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, neglected to inform what article I was referring to in the above message - Walk-In Bathtub

I was not trying to alter my search engine rankings, btw.

Okay, I get it. No problem. Odd though that the picture now showing is from Safety Bath, as is the link. Perhaps there is a chance that whomever posted both was just a little less forthright about their identity than was I. My revised article is much more accurate, however, and definitely not an advert. Have a good day. 19:31, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I see other journalists with pages. I'd just like to know how to have one that keeps with the quality standards of this site.
