EcoDisc in Template:Optical disc authoring‎‎

Hi, Favonian

I've noticed that have prevented the entry of EcoDisc into Template:Optical disc authoring‎‎, having crossed WP:3RR line in process. Would you please kindly explain why do you oppose this edit?

Thanks, Fleet Command (talk) 16:50, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

At the time, the EcoDisc article was nominated for speedy deletion as advertisement, a nomination I found reasonable. I can see that the nomination has meanwhile been declined, which of course makes my actions seem overly hasty. I apologize for not being able to count. Favonian (talk) 16:53, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

No problem, Favonian; luckily, no real harm seems to have been done this time. I hope you'll excuse me if I take the liberty of writing this piece of advise: An article that is nominated for deletion or speedy deletion is analogous to a man who is sent to a court of law for a crime; both are not to be stripped of their rights until their verdict is issued. Therefore, would you please refrain from unlinking any article before it is deleted?

Again, Thank you.

Fleet Command (talk) 17:11, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Duly noted. Favonian (talk) 17:13, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Great job

Just wanna say I think you're doing a terrific job with Huggle --Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 17:27, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, so do you. Many a time have I noticed that you reverted the scoundrels ahead of me. Cheers, Favonian (talk) 17:28, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Count#Equivalent

Hello Favonian,

I thought I was editing it properly by linking back to a Wikipedia page on the edit I had performed.I am sorry, I did not realise it. Please note that the reason for my edit was Indian princely state system does not view the Chatrapati as a Count, rather the Thakur or Sardar is a better translation. The Chatrapati is more akin to a King [different evolution of the word] when you compare the power wielded. While the Chatrapati might by translation seem to be an equivalent, the power and land under the Chatrapati is beyond comparison larger than under a tradional Count. A Thakur on the other hand seems to fit the definition better. Wikipedia has a decent page on Thakur, which I had linked back to.

Please inform me as to how I can rectify the same.

Regards, User:Cowboyroy

My reverts might have been a little too drastic, for which I apologize. Now to get the right information into the article, the best thing is to find a reliable source which documents the status of this particular Indian title. A short term solution is that you make your case on the article's talk page and then make the change in the article itself with an edit summary like "Please see talk page" or words to that effect. Other editors might object, but there is a good chance that the discussion will take place on the talk page and not through reverts. Favonian (talk) 19:01, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Neutral?

My edits to the earth page were making it more neutral. Why remove them? They were not a form of vandalism as you claim? Wikipedia needs to be neutral by accepting all view points on dates for ages of the earth. ABTCCC (talk) 18:59, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

This issues of science vs. creation, or whatever you want to call it, come up rather frequently. The consensus in an article like Earth seems to be to keep it scientific. If you disagree, you should take the discussion to the talk page. Favonian (talk) 19:04, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

User talk:168.150.237.230 and vandalism to Drill

My apologies for the vandalism. It was done by a silly employee who now knows better. It will not happen again. Grumpyoldgeek (talk) 00:30, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

No problem. I trust the employee in question is now scrubbing the office floor with his toothbrush ;) Favonian (talk) 09:13, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

User:109.111.197.68

When you issue a final warning, do you maintain a watch thereafter, or do you want to be advised as I am doing now?
Unsure of procedure in these instances, Varlaam (talk) 02:35, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the note! Wish I could maintain a watch on all the IP miscreants that I admonish, but the sheer magnitude of the problem precludes that. Huggle keeps me informed if the user has been warned within the last few days, but not beyond that, and I'm pretty sure there is no procedure for this. Favonian (talk) 09:17, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

"Sheer magnitude". It's really that bad, eh?

I think I have seen people receive 3 or more "final warnings" in the past. Is it intended to be that way?

Varlaam (talk) 12:36, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page. Regards, --The High Fin Sperm Whale 16:49, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Nothing to it. Thank you for what you did to incur the wrath of that little vandal! Favonian (talk) 18:12, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Your recent warnings?

Hey, I've noticed that on some of your recent warnings, they go to Level 1, even if there's a Level 1 already, or a Level 2+. Is this Huggle or something? (I'm a Linux user, and I've never touched huggle so i have no idea how it works) Pilif12p 17:31, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Darn! That must be Huggle. Thanks for telling me. I'll watch the generated messages to see if I can report a bug. Favonian (talk) 17:33, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

One thing to remember is that Huggle will not "increment" the warning level if the previous one is more than a couple of days(?) old. Favonian (talk) 17:35, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

The reason for deleting all brehautism

Hello i am michael brehaut founder of brehautism. I got told by someone a few days ago that i could not have brehautism on until there was proof that it is valid. According to my religion only my scribe is allowed to write infomation about the religion and i know for a fact that this is not him putting it on wikipedia. I would much apreciate if you would delete the page until a further time when we have made the religion valid. It would be a great help if you could do this for me. PS i am sorry for the spelling misstakes i am dyslexic.  — [Unsigned comment added by Brehaut10 (talk • contribs) 22:34, April 24, 2010 (UTC).]

It was nominated for speedy deletion (and has now in fact been deleted), so there was not much point in blanking it. In the future, you and your acolytes are invited to keep the secrets of your religion to yourselves. Favonian (talk) 22:41, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

LOL! Sorry, just happened to be strolling by. RashersTierney (talk) 22:46, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Sometimes, I just can't keep it in. Favonian (talk) 22:47, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Opinion needed!

As a frequent editor, I would appreciate if you put your two cents into the debate over the conservative support for President Obama in Talk:Public image of Barack Obama. Thanks.--Jerzeykydd (talk) 23:19, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Huggle help

I just started using this, and am not totally confident I am doing it right. Don't want to mark an edit "ok" just because I was unsure so skipped it. I find the documentation a bit terse. Is there a good write-up somewhere? Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 12:37, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm actually not a very frequent user of Huggle, mostly because it's so easy to make mistakes when using it, so you're probably better off asking your question at Wikipedia:Huggle/Feedback. Happy huggling ;) Favonian (talk) 12:47, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

This is a whole new world to me - the constant flood of dumb vandalism. Sort of intriguing but sort of depressing, and it does seem easy to make mistakes. Is there a better tool? Aymatth2 (talk) 13:00, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

It is very depressing—the only relief being the number of editors (like yourself) willing to fight forces of darkness. I use Twinkle for most of my work as it suits my temper better, but it's not nearly as efficient when it comes to finding and reverting the waves of seemingly random vandalism.
