Hey, there's a bunch of IP addresses whose edits suspiciously seem very similar to each other. They've been blanking userpages and making personal attacks. Most of their edits have been at User talk:Neil. You may want to check that out (went you you cause I've seen you around). The Chronic 05:33, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I suppose I should initiate this conversation. I saw that I was reported by the above named user for vandalism. If I could, I would like to explain my actions. If you have some familiarity with the creation/evolution debate, this may make a little more sense. These articles are some of the most highly contentious and troll inducing articles on Wikipedia. Firstly, he blatantly attacked editors of the page, notably by saying anyone who believes creationism is pseudoscience is an atheist. Not only is this uncivil, but it is also completely irrelevant to the classification. Also, it is an old standby of the creationist crowd to use such an attack. He also didn't even sign his name, which is a classic drive-by move trolling seen on a lot of creationist articles (both sides have parties guilty of this). I gathered that he was just trying to provoke a reaction (trolling), especially since he has a tiny amount of edits and has not made any sort of edit until the one in question for a several month period. The second talk comment was not any better and it clearly did not serve to further any improvements to the article.
Plus, all of his thoughts have been addressed ad nauseam on the creationism articles. I am trying to steer him towards articles where he could debate such points. But truthfully, he won't get far on the creationism articles either. If you have anything to ask, feel free to do so. Cheers!!! Baegis 04:29, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Also, it is an old standby of the creationist crowd to use such an attack.
That's offensive to me, even if it is true that they do do that. (I wouldn't know, I haven't participated in this much).
I really, truly want to make Wikipedia better, I use it all the time for school and research. I'm not really used to this editing thing though. I will try to stop making my posts less troll-ish.

Hi, I'm following up on your comment at Talk:Condom/Archive 3#Good article status from, um, eight months ago. I've requested a peer review for condom, and one of the reviewers (as you had also commented) wanted to see the "History" section higher in the article.
I'm not sure how high to put it. Midway through the article - maybe after "Female condom" but before "Use"? Or at the top, like in combined oral contraceptive pill and the general birth control article? Any advice would be appreciated! LyrlTalk C 15:25, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi TeaDrinker. I indulged my mystical side and wrote an article about an eastern Russian deity called Kutkh.

I would ask you to reconsider your ruling on keeping this article, as it has had ample opportunity to demonstrate notability per WP:FICTION through reliable secondary out-of-universe sourcing and has failed. Moreover, the keep votes that predominated in the discussion are not rooted in policy, as they assert notability with no proof, and should probably be thus discounted, because as you know this is not a vote but a discussion. Thank you. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 03:39, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Re: "seems to be an extinct dialect or language"
The word "Pehlewani" appears to have misappropriated by the guy who wrote the linked url and originally means this. There is/was no such language by that name: it does not appear on the Ethnologue (i.e. no ISO language code assignment, which it would have even if it was an extinct dialect), nor does it appear in the Compendium Linguarum Iranicarum, which is pretty much the tertiary authority on Iranian languages, nor are there any references to it on JSTOR.
That said, since filing the CSD I've discovered that the article was created by an SPA, Kurdology (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), who is very likely Kurdology1 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), who in turn is annoying a bunch of people for his "enthusiasm for [Kurdish] ethnicity." At any rate, the same fellow is using "Pehlewani" as the authority for edit-warring at the Medes article.

Hi,
Sorry to trouble you.
I posted an article earlier tonight in the 'List of All-Female Bands' section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl_group, having found an entry for the band 'Dame'.
My intention was to add relevant information on the band. I am not connected with them in any way, and as I say, did not create the page.
I know that I really should have studied the rules in more detail, perhaps 'sandboxed' while formatting/reviewing/editing the information, and possibly posting a full review by author/journalist Laurie Lonsdale was a breach of rule.
If you can help me in formatting information in an acceptable way, I would be most grateful.

TeaDrinker,
Thank you for getting back, and for the advice. I will check out the guidelines and take it from there. I hadn't intended including the full review, but to refer to it with a short quote - I pressed save intending to edit immediately, but you guys are quick!
Thanks once again for the help and advice
PJ 194.46.231.150 (talk) 23:32, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi TeaDrinker,
I would ask you to bear with me while I get to grips with both the rules and the navigation here. Following your advice, I tried placing a short article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAME) , with some factual information about the band, referencing rather than quoting from reliable sources ( MP3.COM, Toronto Exclusive Magazine ) to establish authenticity and notability. I kept the article deliberately short, to try to grasp the correct approach and avoid breach of etiquette. The article has been marked 'CSD G11'. Again, apologies, but I don't follow the ((hangon)) process - it seems I should edit the page and add this tag below the system message, but I can't find an edit option.
I am trying to add accurate and verifiable information to an article which was already in Wikipedia, and want to observe the rules and protocols which make Wikipedia what it is. I would appreciate at least a 'stay of execution', while I again attempt to gather and present the information in the correct way.
Many thanks for your patience.

under the deletion notice and save the edit. All it does is alert the administrator that some explanation is required. You can add that explanation to the article talk page, Talk:DAME (just click the "discussion" tab in the article at the top of the page). The page can be, and often is, still deleted. But the hangon tag alerts the admin to do a more careful investigation.Setting new lows in thank-you spam:

Gotiger 13 has deleted the notability tag. (Shadowmoon13 (talk) 20:25, 17 December 2007 (UTC))
Minopa is lying. The game was announced on the Team 17 forum, but it wasn't announced in full detail. In a thread, people were asking for a new Worms 2D PC game. Spadge, a director at Team 17, mentioned on there that a new Worms PC game is in production, to be announced towards the end of the year. So Minopa is making the whole thing up, about the release date, clothes e.t.c. But there is a problem. In order to view the thread, you must be a member of the Team 17 forum. So, basically, one of the Team 17 members, have said that a game is in production. (Gotiger13 (talk) 20:37, 17 December 2007 (UTC))
It should NOT be deleted. (Minopas (talk) 20:47, 17 December 2007 (UTC))
I think it should be deleted. I think there should be a note, that there is a PC game in production on the Worms series page though. Its Minopa who disagrees with you. (Gotiger13 (talk) 20:51, 17 December 2007 (UTC))

Well, the user is a director at the Team 17 company, and he often announces new things in production on the forum. But, i will just wait until it is announced. (Shadowmoon13 (talk) 07:50, 18 December 2007 (UTC))

Thank you for your input on the Talk Page of Houston Stewart Chamberlain. I have been attemtping to keep the article balanced. There seem to be so many biographical articles on Wikipedia which are attacked by political opponents. I am not, I don't believe, political. In fact I don't even vote. Chamberlain was essentially a Victorian author, and his credentials are well-established. Naturally there are those who are completely opposed to his theories etc., and who then try and connect him, in this case, with nazis or whoever. That is pure politics. I believe that we should carry biographical articles about the subject himself and his works (most of which were not political, such as the mammoth Immanuel Kant). If a work has been controversial, definite clear links might be added in an academic (as opposed to journalistic) manner, but these should not reflect merely jaundiced opinions of those who might find a fellow-traveller's jaundiced book to support his views.

Hi. I noticed you blocked Harry Duke, a user with only three contributions, and put the blocked as a vandalism template on the user's talk page. If there is evidence that this user is a sockpuppet of a banned user, then it totally makes sense to block the user. However, the three edits that this user made do not appear to be vandalism, and if the person hasn't been blocked before, then it is possible that this user could become a constructive contributor.

I ran across a page here about the Texas 22nd congressional district at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas%27s_22nd_congressional_district.
I've known Brian Klock for many years and had volunteered to help him out by working on his web site. Brian just decided to run for the district 22 seat. So I added a little bit about Brian and you were kind enough to let that stay on that page. As it should. Well, unless you decide otherwise.
I noticed that there were references to other candidates on the page linking to their own pages here. Including a judge who while elected to the bench has no more served in any elected representative positon than Brian has. So I figured "what the heck" and added a page reference to Brian. Maybe a guy who had put himself in harms way for the taxpayer for many years might warrant a little mention?
I'm a newcomer to this place and did not understand "notability", etc. and also that you would presume that things written on a candidates web page were a copyrighted work. In that regard I wonder what we could put on his web site such that anyone would know they could use the information and pictures if they like. Which include images of Brian defending the US Sec. of defense and what have you.
What I wrote got stomped on pretty hard and you folks removed the page. But this is "your" sand box and what you think is important "is" no matter what my opinion might be. Just because I know about how Brian ran around the planet and put himself in situations where he could have been killed many times that's just not common knowledge so he is not notable enough to be mentioned here. Like maybe Vanilla Ice or others have been.
Hopefully he will get elected and I can come back again and post a page about him.
Have a great 2008!

Thanks for the response. I find it interesting that regarding the page I cite it's construct is such that it gives the incumbent or anyone else who has held other office or are "notable" enough to have a page here an advantage of sorts. The page in itself is not about a person but about an office. Something none of the people listed on the page have any ownership of. The incumbent is just "renting". Some have persued the office but then failed. It appears that such failure is at some point notable enough to justify a page here for them. A person may be notable because it's notable that they didn't do anything notable except what others are doing right now (running for office) who are not notable yet (according to this place) but eventually if they fail they will be notable like the aformentioned "other losers" now are? What you do here reminds me of the guy on Ed Sullivan show with the sticks and dinner plates he spun on them . I wonder if he has a page here? He does: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumar_Pallana

Hi TeaDrinker,
I'm brand new at Wikipedia, but I see you have done some editing on the Soulja Boy article, so I hope you can help me.
I wrote some comments under the Initial Reception section a few days ago and no one has responded - could you please look at this? Here they are:
Please consider removing the last line of the Initial Reception section, referring to "his goal as making ...music that avoids the negative, violent image that he sees in most hip-hop.[18][17]" This doesn't seem to be his real goal if you look at the lyrics to Crank That Soulja Boy. Even if it is his goal, I think his goal is not relevant to his reception.
Also, if this alleged goal is included anywhere in the article, please balance it with facts about his lyrics. so that people can draw their own conclusions. Lyrics to Crank That Soulja Boy include inviting others to watch him "supersoak dat b*tch" and "superman dat hoe", and perform other mysogynistic acts that are clearly negative and violent. References for translations of the slang include your external link to the words and urbandictionary.com translations of the slang. Some public schools have banned it too - reference http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/20/AR2007122000913.html Another user in the comment above about song meaning references an article by a student who explains very well how it demeans women.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod))
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add ((db-author))

The Astonisher Strikes Again... [1] - Eliezg (talk) 22:43, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Bimal mukherjee, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Bimal mukherjee is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Bimal mukherjee, please affix the template ((hangon)) to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

No problem, I knew a section called "I'm a faggot" probably wasn't meant for any good :) Also, I saw you blocked one IP in that range, there were 2 other IPs from the same range (and same school obviously) vandalizing your page as well. Wildthing61476 (talk) 18:26, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
I have been removing unsourced info from a lot of pages, such as Bellevue High School (Bellevue, Washington). Unfortunately, the IP address 24.22.140.84 has removed sources and relevant text from the page. I restored what he/she/it removed and even improved on the IP edits by clarifying dates, but he/she/it has reverted my edits. I dont want to revert any more because that would probably constitute an edit war, but this IP address either needs to be blocked or the page protected. The IP edits are very similar to that of User:Bellevuecommonsense, who I gather was warned about edit warring on his/her/its talk page before. 24.22.140.84 has not been open to talking on the talk page either, except for one sentence which does not make sense. Im coming to you because I see you are an administrator and I have not run into this problem before. What should I do when an IP address is removing sources and reverting to a version with bad grammar? I could continue to improve the page but it seems a little futile when the page is not protected. --DerRichter (talk) 20:25, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Does it really matter that much? Seriously, it's the internet. Does it cause that much trouble if you put things on your Wikipedia User page that doesn't really "pertain" to anything. Come on. Wikipedia is uptight. "The Free Encyclopedia" where you can't put anything up or it'll be deleted. Maybe I was insane when I decided to get a Wikipedia account. But I guess I'll go play in the street, that's what you're trying to tell me right? That I'm not serious enough to post pages on here. Ok, will do sir. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.210.171.130 (talk • contribs)

Request to make the article
Hiya mate,
Ehh, was on wikipedia just now and a message popped up from you about editing the article on poland etc. The weird thing is, though, that it appears to date from October 30 2007!
I kind of think it must have been some sort of odd computer error or something, but the message came from your username, saying that I had made some dodgy edits to the poland article, and that they had been removed.
The thing is I never edited poland, (I don't really make many edits at all) and this is my own ip address too.. Do you have any idea what may have happened?
cheers,
D.
(I dont have an account, so maybe you could pop your suggestion here if you get the chance?)

Another editor has added the ((prod))
template to the article Saprophytes (band), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the ((prod))
template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 22:27, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
I took a look back and it was indeed me who performed the merge. In all honesty, I didn't even remember doing so and I couldn't tell you now what my rationale was then. Seeing as you seem to have used proper judgment, i'll defer to you on whether to keep the merge or create one large article that possible links to or otherwise showcases both the Sunni and Shi'a lists.

I've been trying to work out a maximum likelihood estimate for a statistical model. I have the joint density for an observed variable X and an unobserved variable T, , as a function of parameter vector . Fortunately T is discrete, so estimate I figured I'd sum over T and get the likelihood of as a function of X alone. That is
(I can reasonably put a bound to make the sum finite with a known error.) However when I do this sum I can no longer take the log, so my computer chokes on the small values. Before recoding this to calculate using higher floating point precision (it is in R right now, I'd put it in python), does anyone see either a flaw in my logic, or a slick computational trick? Thanks, --TeaDrinker (talk) 05:14, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Is there a known probability distribution of T? Have you tried the following?
(You'll notice how I distinguish between lower-case t and capital T, and more importantly why I distinguish between them.) Michael Hardy (talk) 23:18, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
