Long overdue for your tireless efforts in upholding WP:BLP. – ukexpat (talk) 04:18, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The BLP Barnstar
In recognition of your work and vigilance at the WP:BLP/N noticeboard. I can remember times when BLP/N seemed to have tumbleweeds blowing through it ... it is good to see BLP issues in biographies resolved and addressed, regardless of how famous or popular the subject is. Thank you.JN466 15:05, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How does it go, ride, boldly ride, if you seek for El dorado. Off2riorob (talk) 19:34, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Eldorado

Gaily bedight, A gallant knight

In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, Singing a song, 'In search of Eldorado.

But he grew old- This knight so bold- And o'er his heart a shadow Fell as he found No spot of ground That looked like Eldorado.

And, as his strength Failed him at length, He met a pilgrim shadow- "Shadow," said he, "Where can it be- This land of Eldorado?"

"Over the Mountains Of the Moon, Down the Valley of the Shadow, Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied- "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Thanks

Seeing as all of the talk has thus far been on my own talkpage. I just wished to thank you on your own talkpage for bringing my attention to the hoax issue. A very serious issue for wikipedia even though some editors may not have initially realised, including myself. I think I will re-add Arthur de Rothschild at some point soon because he was obviously notable and a good, if minor, addition to the project. But you were right in following the leads you had. Polargeo (talk) 12:04, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was quite exciting, a fantastic hoax. I didn't Know Arthur got deleted in the mellee, he was at least real and quite a noted member of the family, lets get him replaced. Thanks to you for taking the time (and belief) to look deeper into it. Off2riorob (talk) 19:40, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another significant Rothschild missing from Wikipedia is Maurice (c. 1881-1957), son of Edmond. He was a minor politician involved in a bribery scandal, considered a wastrel, and later in life made his own large fortune trading in commodities and stocks after he fled from Europe.Benf64 (talk) 03:52, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, I guess. Kind of funny (pretending to be nobility, for the recognition and standing, is such a quaint mischief), kind of sad. Benf64 (talk) 03:23, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, if he put the energy into something real he would likely be doing very well. Off2riorob (talk) 03:28, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tammy Jennings

Hi. When you asked for a copy of this article in your user space, I did it by undeleting and moving the article. A consequence, which I hadn't thought about, is that the copy you have is the "master" in the sense that it has the history attached, and is the one which will need to be restored if she is elected at the end of March. I don't think that actually matters as long as we both remember it - I don't know why you wanted a copy, but remember that if you edit it those edits will be in the history of the restored version (though even that could be avoided with some manipulation).

If you would prefer, I could move it back to mainspace, delete it again, and give you a cut-and-paste copy; but I don't think that's necessary.

In closing the AfD, I said that I would undelete the article on request if she was elected. It appears that the election is to be on 20 March. It is likely that I shall be away then; if so, may I ask you to look after that? If you agree, and if I do go away, I will direct her supporters to you.

Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:11, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I only wanted it as I thought it worth an article and intended to improve it a bit and put it back, its here User:Off2riorob/Tammy_Jennings if anyone would want it, I am fine with it staying where it is and fine with it going elsewhere, I can happily look after its possible replacement to main space around election time or whenever more notability is asserted. No worries. Off2riorob (talk) 19:12, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rothschild hoax

Change of subject: the real Rothschilds have acted swiftly. All Stefan's fake sites have been taken down, and he has been taken off the Huffington Post both as de Rothschild and as Roberts, and off Twitter. No wine yet, though. Cheers, JohnCD (talk) 11:07, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

...and he is now getting more internet publicity than perhaps even he wants. JohnCD (talk) 13:17, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that is a development, perhaps the New York times will be commenting as they also had a two and a half million pledge to Haiti from the fictitious company Rothschild Estates in their paper, they were also scammed. Thank you for the updates, it is making me very thirsty though, that Rothschild wine would be greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 19:17, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

i wrote katie price's albums on an already made template not slut face part. I do not like that woman but still its no point to write something like that. I added the catergory by clicking on the red part which listed her albums and ALREADY had that title, but I didnt write slutface part.

Stedman Pearson

This relates to the Pearson article you asked me about a couple of months back. Just a heads-up: Someone had brought up the article on RSN, and I realised the public indecency bit in that article was still a BLP violation. It just didn't say what the source said, implying there had been a criminal guilty plea and conviction when in fact there had been no conviction at all. I've taken it out and posted a rationale on the talk page. --JN466 20:52, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think an RfCU will be necessary if he continues to edit as he has been doing, but he is comparitively inexperienced and unfamiliar with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, so probably not yet. DuncanHill (talk) 18:59, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If as you say he is.." comparatively inexperienced and unfamiliar with Wikipedia policies and guidelines" then he should not be an administrator. Off2riorob (talk) 19:04, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He has 40,000 edits going back to 2004, and has been an admin since 2005. Just out of interest, who wouldn't you consider "comparatively inexperienced"? 92.10.21.60 (talk) 19:13, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He has been away , editors and people like this need to again reinsert themselves into the present environment, get to know what is the present enviroment, perhaps his editing style was ok a few years ago but today there are clear issues. Off2riorob (talk) 19:17, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, he was away in December 2007, and again in June 2008. Other than that there's not a single month since June 2004 in which he hasn't hasn't been active. He switched names at the end of 2007 (admittedly in the midst of a hail of complaints about the actions of his old account), which might be what's leading to this confusion. 92.10.21.60 (talk) 20:55, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

European Universities Debating Championship

Hi,

Can you have a look at an article for me (European Universities Debating Championship) - I seem to be getting into a Edit War with another editor and would value someone else having a look.

In summary, I think the article has two main issues - firstly it is sourced almost exclusively from the websites maintained by a one Colm Flynn a long time debater for which I am not sure they meet the WP test of WP:RS - I have posted to the Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard but no one unconnected with the article has responded. Secondly is the amount of detail about each event - even though this is a team event the other editor is insisting that the names of the members of the 3 loosing teams must be listed (setting aside the issue of the WP:RS) I think that this is not relevant and as these are not notable and the including runs contra to WP:NLIST. I offered to compermise and let him include the detail in the main table of winners but he felt that it did not work and needed a second table with team members.

The other editor has called be obstructionist - I don't think I am just trying to keep this article fit for an encyclopaedia.

If you think I am being obstructionist please let me know or if you can offer any advice it would be welcomed.Codf1977 (talk) 19:10, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Grant Fagan

I do not understand why you would PROD this recently created article when the award passes PORNBIO? Ash (talk) 16:28, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In what way do you think he passes porn bio? If it is that award, I wouldn't call it a well know award It appears to me to be a lesser known promotional award doesn't infer notability. Off2riorob (talk) 16:33, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are five points in pornbio and this man meets one of them only very loosly indeed, if you consider that award to be well known, I don't, the inclusion conditions for pornbio should not be an excuses to include from a single weakly claimed point but a notability guide to attain to and a subject should meet at least a clear couple of points. Is it that you think he meets multiplre points or it it that minor award that is your claim? Off2riorob (talk) 16:42, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that Grabby Awards are not well-known (an examination of sources would easily show this), there seem to be many biographical articles about porn actors relying on these awards. I'm not that bothered to discuss it here as I don't want to talk it through more than once. Raise an AfD if you think you honestly have a case for claiming the Grabbys cannot justify PORNBIO as this is not a straight-forward rational for a PROD, is probably contentious, sets a wide-ranging precedent and so needs discussion. ... (after ec) ... I find your interpretation of PORNBIO rather special, certainly new to me, as there is no consensus that more than one of the criteria needs to be met for an article to be considered suitably notable. Again, if you feel your case is realistic then raise an AfD and air your unique viewpoint so that concensus can be reached. Ash (talk) 16:50, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

this and this are not imo well known awards. You are interpretation the claim for notability at the lowest level and creating articles imo that have no value at all.Off2riorob (talk) 16:51, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to your opinion. I agree that PORNBIO is flawed, that's why I have raised a discussion on the associated talk page. However the articles I have created are based on current guidance. If you want to improve PORNBIO, that is a separate issue not solved by raising doubtful PRODs on these BLPs. My statement above stands. Ash (talk) 16:56, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That just says to me that you realise that they are not really notable but that you are using the flaws in the policy to create them anyway. Off2riorob (talk) 17:00, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are inferring things that are not in the text I have written. For some context as to why these stub articles are being created you may wish to check talk:List of male performers in gay porn films‎. Due to the blanket deletion of red-links or plain text names of award-winning porn stars from this list, there is no choice but to create stub articles before any actor can be included on the list. Consider whether BEFORE and ATD have been exhausted before proceeding with raising AfDs on these new articles. Ash (talk) 17:06, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is of course clear to me why you are creating these stub, so as to rea-dd them back into the list, imo you are wasting your time, but lets see how it progresses, at the end of the day you will have a stub of a not notable porn actor and will have added another name to the list, the whole thing is of little to no value at all, but hey, lets see.

Caremerger has accused you of "conspiring" with me

Hi Off2riorob, I requested you as a moderator to deal with the dispute between me and Caremerger. Caremerger has now accused you of "conspiring" with me and The Four Deuces against her or him. Caremerger has also engaged in slanderous personal attacks against me, claiming that I am paid off by "corporatist money", and referring to me as "you corporatist people". I am aware that you are the moderator in this dispute, but I would appreciate it if you could either give him a warning or block for personal attacks if you can or direct me to an administrator who can do that.--R-41 (talk) 15:30, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

hi off2riorob,

thank you for your welcome on my user page. i'm very new to editing on Wiki and have been trying to get some one of the various people who offer themselves to assist but sans succes. You might have seen this my problem before-I am offering to help improve an article of which I am the subjest and which has two templates- one that it reads like a resume, and one that it is an orphan, and alos could improve its relation to what I gather are the 'importance'criteria. But I don't want to edit the page myself, as I am the subject. But i could supply drafts, etc. I wonder could you help me or point me in direction where help might lie.

No worries, some of his edits do appear ok, like this recent one removing marco from the under 20 team, I will watchlist the articles and see if I can discover what is going on, if an editor removes or inserts content without an explaiation or citation to support it and you have a citation to support the original position then you are fine to simply revert him and ask him to move to discussion, take care not to repeatedly revert as this is edit warring and you could be reported for that, feel free to contact me here for advice or assistance, regards.
