Need Vandalism Advice

Hi TexasAndroid, I am new to Wikipedia and need your advice about a vandelism matter that came up on an article you worked on at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_H._Kennedy

There was an act of vandelism there today see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=William_H._Kennedy&diff=64350590&oldid=64248612

If the vandels come back should I just keep changing the edit back or should I ask for third party resolution?

I also saw your notation that the article needs to be more wikified. Can you be more specific? Sorry if I am a pain but I really want to learn! Please leave some advice here.

Thanks 617USA (New and needing improvement)

Encyclopedist

Hello, TexasAndroid. You seem to be the admin. who blocked Encyclopedist's account. When may he edit again? I find that I could collaborate with him on Latin American history projects - especially the article at Military history of Mexico. I am pretty sure that whatever he did isn't so bad, or that his work with articles overshadows it. I am currently working on Brazilian military history projects, so I am in no rush. Just asking a general question. OMEN 19:42, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is very unfortunate. Perhaps if I could contact him, I could get him to apologize. I wish I had some help - it's sad that this happened, considering that he was, I assume a good contributor. OMEN 03:04, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. I have jumped into said discussion. :) joshbuddy, talk 15:47, 5 July 2006 (UTC) [reply]

Addendum to "Here is my attack"

Well, I hace confessed to vandalizing for the past several months, and for permanently scarring my reputation. I want to state now that Tex's contention that I haven't left is entirely false, I only came back on the 23rd to voice my opinion against RobChurch, and his RfA. Well, my attack: I am sorry for being the CIyde vandal and for my attacks on John Reid. I am sorry that I came here, stressing myself, and others out. To further emphasize this, I did create an account with the intention of it being constructive after a three month long meltdown. Hopefully, I will be able to edit constructively, and I am sorry for all the trouble I cause. Yes, people reform, and to be honest, the point of the vandalism was to attract attention to what I see as incivility, and the reasons several of my friends have left here. But vandalism is vandalism, so I better quit before I get in trouble. I am sorry I was ever apart of the project. I DONT want to be a Brian Chase. But, at least I did edit here constructively for a year and three months before I went haywire.εγκυκλοπαίδεια*14:34, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Addendum: It is my wish to make it clear that I want to return to the encyclopedia, and I am asking that my block may be lifted so I can continue my work here. εγκυκλοπαίδεια*
Of course I apologize, to John Reid and to the WIkipedia Community. I said so even on his talk page. εγκυκλοπαίδεια*16:56, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I will never vandalize again. εγκυκλοπαίδεια*16:56, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I believe this account should have already been blocked as a sockpuppet. MyApology 17:07, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for helping me so much

I am deeply sorry for the sins I have commited here. I hope my reëntry here will be sincerely welcomed. εγκυκλοπαίδεια* 19:07, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I would like 'all of my pages restored :-) Thank you. εγκυκλοπαίδεια* 19:11, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rakshasa (fiction)

How about putting it under Category:Public domain characters, or perhaps a new category : Category:Mythological characters in fiction (which could also include the numerous comic book characters based on mythology)? --Grammatical error 15:01, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with what you just proposed about creating a new category and subcategorising it under Category:Mythological characters. Also, there are many "mythological" characters in comic books (who will be put in multiple categories if this goes ahead, because of the obvious Category:Marvel Comics characters or whatever that will already be there) that it would be a useful category and quickly filled up. --Grammatical error 15:12, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Wow...that was quick work. There is also some stuff on the Asura (disambiguation page that could be cut and pasted into a new Asura (fiction article in the new category, leaving just the important mythological information and a link to the new fiction page.--Grammatical error 15:24, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thank you

thx for pointing me to Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Tobias Conradi. Btw, you can call me Tobias, but I will not WP:CIV you. I know people in Germany that find it offensive to be called by plain family name. best Tobias Conradi (Talk) 19:22, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Helen Betty Osborne

You did not complete the process of registering your copyright violation concerns regarding the article Helen Betty Osborne. So, I reverted your edit. I have reviewed the link you provided [1] and found that just three paragraphs out of the article were copied from (or near copies of) the link. I have completely rewritten or removed the offending paragraphs. If you find any further parts of the article that you consider to be infringing on copyright, please identify those parts and we can deal with them. I would prefer not to have an entire article that is mostly original content deleted just becase a few small elements of it are in violation when we can easily correct such small problems. Thanks. —GrantNeufeld 20:25, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Meta-humans

What sort of DC meta-humans would fall under the umbrage of Mutation origin instead of Science origin, then? Ryulong 21:09, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. I really have no idea. DC is not normally into the whole Mutant thing. There likely are a few, somewhere, but finding them might mean sifting through the pages of a lot of DC characters. :) You could also look through the history of the page and see who originally added that comment, and then see if they are still active on the project. If so, maybe they can give you an idea of what they had in mind. :) - TexasAndroid 21:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'll check on that. Ryulong 21:18, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that the first person who put that in used Fire (comics) as an example, but she got her powers from an external source (Pyroplasm, or some sort of accident), and was then had her minor fire-breathing powers magnified by a "meta-gene bomb". With this, I don't think there are really any DC characters who are considered "Mutation". Ryulong 21:24, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Better to remove the DC reference then, than to give incorrect examples. If anyone can come up with an appropriate example, it can be re-added easily enough. - TexasAndroid 21:28, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No idea who set it to angry, I reset it to calm -- Tawker 22:00, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Netscott

This all stems from a debate at Category:Anti-Semitic people. I do not have a problem with an administrator or editor advising me on my talk page about an issue with images; however, when an editor simply changes a user page without any discussion that is vandalism. I advised him to stop and he did not, so I reciprocated. Unfortunately, instead of remaining neutral you have chosen sides. This reflects poorly on your ability to be an impartial administrator, in fact it could be interpreted as Administrator abuse. Cordially Porky Pig 14:02, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

TexasAndroid, thank you for your council. The removal of the policy violation image wasn't done in "retaliation". Please see this talk on MONGO's talk page. Given the above comment here, the vandalism and this sort of commentary I think we can both agree that User:Porky Pig is liable to become known as a disruptive editor. Thanks. (→Netscott) 14:39, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
To User:TexasAndroid Further to your follow up, thank you, I now respect your decision and handling of the matter. Cordially Porky Pig 14:52, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
TexasAndroid, please be advised that User:Porky Pig is likely a sockpuppet of permanently blocked editor User:SirIsaacBrock based upon editing topics/style, editorially summary comments. Please note usage of the word "Cordially" relative to a discussion involving this category here on User:Zoe's talk page. Unless I can convince admins of this, I'll be opening a WP:RFCU case shortly as I build my evidence. Thanks. (→Netscott) 16:47, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Porky Pig is User:SirIsaacBrock

Improper usage of the term "spammer":

Improper utilization of WP:AIV:

As you may be aware WP:RFCU says that, "Obvious sock puppets may be treated as such without using checkuser.".

Update: This is now on WP:ANI. Thanks. (→Netscott) 17:35, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The Porky Pig account was not used in accord with Wikipedia's sock policy and should be blocked accordingly. (→Netscott) 17:38, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spamming

Hello, I am not the editor User:Nescott is accusing me of. He has done the opposite of what you advised him to do and he has spammed my User page again with a sockpuppet +tag, would you please take the steps necessary to stop this editor from attacking me again. Thank you Porky Pig 18:11, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stalking

I posted the following at the intervention page [12], any chance you could ask them to back off. I just reopened my account yesterday. Thank you SirIsaacBrock 18:35, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Editors first contibutions on return was to continue a month old revert war to include grusome an not-notable anecdotes and to remove maintence tags from pages that I monitor. It is not stalking to have a watchlist of pages that I proded in the long-long ago. Hipocrite - «Talk» 18:39, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, you deleted information in spite after I requested my account to be blocked. Now that I have returned I am fixing your spiteful mess. Cordially SirIsaacBrock 20:22, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:SirIsaacBrock threads

There's now three of us that have expressed the view that moving these threads wasn't appropriate. Do you think it'd be right to bring them back? (→Netscott) 13:16, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello User:Netscott, instead of focusing on off-article work, why not do something positive like actually write some articles and build up the encyclopedia :) SirIsaacBrock 13:21, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well if by removing a long-time problematic and disruptive editor one can improve the collaborative spirit for the Wikipedia project then that certainly is doing something positive. This diff to User:Drini wherein you posted, "Thank you for spamming my discussion page with the following information [13]" is further illustration that the project would be better without your "contributing". (→Netscott) 13:29, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an admin request, but a request from one user to two others. Please stop using my Talk page to talk to each other. I really do not want the constant New Message banner popping up for comments that are not even directed at me. If you two need to converse, please use your own talk page, stop hyjacking mine. - TexasAndroid 13:32, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think your continued behaviour reflects you are the problem editor :) Cordially SirIsaacBrock 13:33, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Still wondering about my original question. (→Netscott) 13:37, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
TexasAndroid, I've put a question into User:Drini about this. I'll be surprised if she disagrees with replacing the threads. Sorry for using your talk page earlier to talk with SirIsaacBrock. (→Netscott) 14:29, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fictional American cat in Stargate character articles

I'm going to revert all of the changes you made as a result of incorrectly adding "Fictional Americans" to the Stargate characters category. Not all of those characters are Americans, especially the alien races. CovenantD 15:11, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll hold off on any more changes for now. How would you suggest we get this sorted out? Personally, I think there's major problems with the name of the cat as it is. CovenantD 15:28, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry to have pointed this out - I know it's a lot of work both ways. I'll tackle the Stargate articles. Let me know what other articles and cats I can help with. CovenantD 15:46, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, that rollback button looks very useful - almost enough to make me wish I had it :-) I'll keep an eye out for you to start the discussion and chime in with my ideas. CovenantD 15:59, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reblock

I have reblocked User talk:Howardgoldman for a shorter time and assuming good faith. However, if you see vandalism from this guy again, feel free to reblock him indef. Sasquatch t|c 02:55, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help please

I noticed you are on making edits can you help User:Beneaththelandslide has been blocked due common IP address can unblock please. Gnangarra 11:31, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thankyou for helping. Gnangarra 00:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shortpages

You seem to have some understanding of this list. So I come to you. How is the cached list generated, and who might I see about updating the search bot to disclude redirects. As many people have noted, it needs to be done. Any idea where I go for that? Can you respond on my Talk/Discussion page? Thanx. --Jade 05:54, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned category?

I don't understand what you mean by Category:The Saint being orphaned. It's linked to a number of articles. What Wikipolicy requires a so-called "parent category." This is the very first I've ever heard of this and I've created a number of categories ie. [:Category:Modesty Blaise books]]. The "characters in written fiction" category was incorrect because Simon Templar is already listed under that category. 23skidoo 18:40, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

I really appreciate the heads up. Thank you! --Woohookitty(meow) 13:47, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is what I am planning on doing.--Mais oui! 18:22, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weird edit conflict! I didn't get a warning, but apparently I did revert you by accident. Good thing you caught up on it. -- Jordi·✆ 14:33, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

re: TexasAndroid

No problem. I did the same thing with the Texas Wrestling Academy article.JB196 19:59, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
