Duke Lacrosse Articles

ikilled007, Both articles - Duke Lacrosse team scandal and Crystal Gail Mangum, show an obvious lack of neutrality. I'm happy that the falsely accused defendants have been vindicated but there is a need for encyclopedic articles to reflect a balanced point of view and avoid taking sides, ad hominem attacks on any parties involved etc. I hope you take the time to read through my edits and see that they're actually quite balanced and fair.

If you feel that the article is POV and needs changes, can you please bring it to the talk pages first? You're making massive overhauls when many of the issues you feel are POV were already discussed on the talk pages. Explain on the talk pages what edits you are making and why. Please don't just do a massive delete and overhaul of content which was reached by consensus without first going to the talk page. That's all. :) Ikilled007 22:06, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Virginia Tech massacre phrasing

Hi. You reverted the phrasing of the introduction's death toll from an active tone to a passive one. I originally changed it to active because of Logophile's arguments on the talk page, section "Accuracy in summarizing the event." Would you mind explaining either here or there why you prefer passive? --Kizor 13:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I'm the one who changed it to passive. I merely tried to clean it up some. If you look at this edit, you can see it was already passive before I tweaked it: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Virginia_Tech_massacre&diff=next&oldid=123794748 "It left at least 33 people..." -- that's passive voice and that's what was there before I made the next edit. I agree that it should be an active voice, but I just tried to clean up what was there already. I hope this helps. Ikilled007 13:06, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. Did I mention that I suck? --Kizor 13:14, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, come on. It's a pain in the ass hunting through so many edits. Don't worry about it. Anyway, I changed it to an active voice and edited for fluidity. Ikilled007 13:16, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Students for Organ Donation

You didn't set up the AfD page correctly; I've corrected it, but you might want to check to make sure that you approve. (For future reference, you shopuld use {{subst:afd2|pg=Students for Organ Donation|cat=|text=}} ~~~~ as given on the AfD notice itself). I've also added it to the AfD page (again, you need to follow the instructions on the AfD notice). --Mel Etitis (Talk) 22:30, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for cleaning that up. I appreciate it. Ikilled007 23:48, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unjustified Blanket Reverts

If you feel you must remove information from an article, please first discuss it on the article's talk page. If you continue with your vandalism you may be blocked from editing. 41.240.70.151 10:27, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting your vandalism does not constitute vandalism. If you want to call Crystal Gail Mangum a nappy-headed ho, do it somewhere other than wikipedia. I suspect you'll be blocked shortly anyway, so it's no-doubt moot. Ikilled007 10:29, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Violation of 3RR

Please note that you are in violation of the 3 Revert Rule. If you continue to violate 3RR you may find yourself blocked from editing. 41.240.70.151 10:33, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cute. Reverting vandalism is excepted. Ikilled007 10:36, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

You're doing good work reverting the vandalism on Crystal Gail Mangum, but you should save yourself the trouble and warn the vandal (using Wp:warnings). If he continues after having received a final warning, the vandal should be reported to WP:AIV so he can be blocked. / Pax:Vobiscum 11:13, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I kept the Interdictor Blog during Hurricane Katrina.

Man, I just noticed this factoid about you. I was addicted to the Interdictor Blog while the whole thing was unfolding; I have often wondered what became of you, I lost track when you were moving away from NOLA (to Florida?). You are one tough guy, no way could I have done what you did.

p.s. I initially came to this page tonight only to say that I agree with your assessment of the actions of a couple editors yesterday in re the Crystal Gail Mangum and Duke lacrosse hoax articles. Duke53 | ^Talk 06:22, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the very kind words. By the way, now look what that rogue editor is doing:

User talk page

There are different "namespaces" in Wikipedia, and pages of each type should stay in their proper space. Therefore I've moved your user talk page back into the user talk page space. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 06:10, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where was it before? Ikilled007 15:11, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You'd moved this page and your user page into the article namespace. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 16:49, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. It's part of the mop and bucket chores. I hope User:70.23.167.160 follows your good advice. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 07:41, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not an attack?

What, pray tell, is the "good point" being expressed by saying that an editor may be worse than the Prince of Darkness? ·:· Will Beback ·:· 06:20, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think he makes some good points about how that editor is rogue. Ikilled007 15:10, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article talk pages are not the right forum for complaining about editors. And one can say that an editor isn't following policy without resorting to name-calling. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 16:52, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I like how you edited the comment to remove the attack part but to keep the criticism. I think it's appropriate now. Ikilled007 14:09, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Article talk pages are not the right forum for complaining about editors. And one can say that an editor isn't following policy without resorting to name-calling. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 16:52, 14 June 2007 (UTC)"

There's a perfect Will Beback misrepresentation, for you. He deletes my reference to someone else's suggestion that the WP admin who unjustifiably deleted the entry on Crystal Gail Mangum (apparently because the other admin doesn't want readers to see what the Duke Rape Hoaxer looks like), and who was already notorious for his abuses is worse than the Prince of Darkness, and writes as though I had so described the notorious admin. Heck, I'd never even heard of the devil before that, and had kindly suggested that it isn't even possible to be worse than Lucifer. You just can't do right by some people.

"Article talk pages are not the right forum for complaining about editors."

Well, that's just some "I'm going to make up an ad hoc rule to justify my stalking of an editor" nonsense. 70.23.167.160 05:17, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
