Hi, first thanks for reverting the trash on my talk page. That editor is a banned editor called SkagitRiverQueen. Would you please block the account already. If you look at the history of my page you will see that she has been harrassing me now for a couple of days. This is the second account she has set up to do this. I don't know what has her harrassing me lately since I haven't been too active but I would appreciate not having her near me. Thanks in advance, --CrohnieGalTalk 17:36, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
I am new to wikipedia but added a page in standard format similar to many other pages accepted on wikipedia. For some reason my page was deleted by user: dferg. I don't understand why this occured as the page was informational and was not a spam page. Is is a policy to accept some pages in a verifiable format and not others? I would appreciate any enlightenment you might be able to provide.

Dear C.Fred,
I would like to ask for an advice regarding Innovation Circle Network article. It was deleted several times, mostly for the reason of not being important or being commercially oriented. This is not a commercial organization. Moreover, it is the only organization which helps develop rural areas and youth activities in Baltic region. I would be grateful if you point what did I do wrong, so that I can edit and share information about Innovation Circle with wikipedia readers.
Thank you very for you help. Pavel Cherkasov

You have erased my Total Drama Kids Live Action Page. You erased it because there wasn't any info and thought it might be fake. I was going to add more info but my computer froze.

C.Fred, sorry about this - i'm a bit confused - almost none of the information on my page is correct/verifiable - but theres nothing i can cite as a source for the correct information such as my age/birthdate/place, the fact i havent signed a record deal, Chrysalis is not my distributor, and i was never in a band with my brothers etc - should i just remove what is plain incorrect, and just try to provide as much correct info as possible without a source? hope you can help, cheers Jai R.

Administrative intervention is required at the continuous irrelevan additions of a user in the talk page. I had asked a number of times to cease such discussion, and lastly told that I will personally archive it, if such additions are not ceased. Well I did, since my requests fell on deaf ears. However the user in question is reverting me now, and I dnt wanna have a 3RR on this. Can you intervene for sometime Fred? — Legolas (talk2me) 07:54, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes.[1] I think the routes can be listed in a single article, though, then the Metlink wikilinked, the routes included as prose or a list without the huge template and external links, and all the routes listed in the primary article with information, also. In addition, there are bus company articles, and these probably could have full lists of routes, although not all linked to the exterior schedule. --Kleopatra (talk) 06:12, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

WP:AN3#User:Danjel reported by User:TreasuryTag (Result: ). It's good that you made an offer to User:Danjel, but he did not accept it. In my opinion you could proceed to a block.

I've only just noticed this edit of yours! (I wish I had noticed it before I'd posted to AN3. Oh well. C'est la vie.)
I agree with just about everything you say, but I would appreciate it if you could clarify for me why highlighting off-topic material, without making any changes to it, is "refactoring"?
In principle, I'm happy to remove the section, but as I have argued at AN3, I feel that if you are going to remove that section, you should also remove the other off topic material. (And if you intend to do that, you should probably seek HiLo48's feedback first.)
However, I'm open to your suggestions and advice. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 01:25, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

C.Fred, My adding information and a reference to an article I wrote on Dörrie is a difficult case. Nobody else has published (in English) on Dörrie's literary texts, unless I am mistaken. Go ahead and delete the section if that is a problem. It's kind of difficult for the experts on a topic not to cite their own work every now and then, esp. if they are the only ones who have written about that aspect of sb.'s bio. But I understand the principle according to which you question my addition. Cheers, Utziputz (talk) 01:08, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Do you realize you just reverted an edit where your revert added the following back into the article?
Slugs are sort of like snails but not as good. See, the naim snale comes from the Egyption word for nail, but with an "s" on the front of it. Slugs's name however, is totally different and derives from no known language. With this information, we can infer that snails mated with aliens and named their babey after the alein father, Blochnoster Sluggliestermoinerham. A few differences between snails and slugs are that for one, snails dont have mind controlling poweres, while slugs do. Slugs actually have tiny tiny little capes that they where to protect them, while snails have none. Even so, the snails have some advantages. For instince, snails can avoid shrivling up when you pour salt on them. Some commonly asked questions asked about snails are 1. where do snails and slugs poop out of? The answer is, they dont poop at all. The reason that snails and slugs dont live very long is because the fecal matter builds up inside them until they explode. Question number 2. Why do they be slimey up in here, yo? The answer is, the aliens that mated with snails and birthed slugs gave the slime to them so that the aliens could follow the slime trails to find them. ~MW
I think that was a goodfaith edit you reverted.--v/r - TP 01:11, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hang on))
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ttonyb (talk) 05:12, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Eureka, Wisconsin → Town of Eureka, Wisconsin — This page should be retitled to Town of Eureka, Wisconsin. See reference: http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/f?p=154:3:3619208266072106::NO:3:P3_FID,P3_TITLE:1583176%2CTown%20of%20Eureka.
It doesn't have a zip code as does Eureka in Winnebago County. It is not a town/city/village that is located on a map as the TRUE Eureka is found. See reference: http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/f?p=154:3:616868987935035::NO:3:P3_FID,P3_TITLE:1564708%2CEureka
Here are the GNIS search results for Eureka, Wisconsin: http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/f?p=154:2:4330716965080315::NO:RP::
Note: Town of Eureka is designated Civil - A political division formed for administrative purposes (borough, county, incorporated place, municipio, parish, town, township). Distinct from Census and Populated Place. Class Code Description: Active Minor Civil Divisions. An active county subdivision that is not coextensive with an incorporated place.
Note: Eureka is designated Populated Place - Place or area with clustered or scattered buildings and a permanent human population (city, settlement, town, village). A populated place is usually not incorporated and by definition has no legal boundaries. However, a populated place may have a corresponding "civil" record, the legal boundaries of which may or may not coincide with the perceived populated place. Distinct from Census and Civil classes.
Eurekanative (talk) 19:56, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
The government of the community calls itself by its legal name, Town of Eureka. The Eureka Farmer's Market is not a government entity. When I look things up, I want to know the truthful facts. It shouldn't matter that one page has more content than another. The content should be correct, not on the second reference, but on the first. Is this Wikipedia concerned with more content versus truth? Here is the Wisconsin statute: http://legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/Stat0060.pdf See: Subchapter II Legal Status; Organization 60.01 Legal status; general powers. (1) A town is a body corporate and politic, with those powers granted by law. A town shall be designated in all actions and proceedings by its name, as “Town of ....”. Eurekanative (talk) 00:08, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
I'm disappointed that the focus of the Wikipedia is not on truthfulness and facts based on the law.
If there is to be a disambiguous solution, then possibly a compromise of C.Fred's suggestion is appropriate. I would not argue with having the Eureka, Wisconsin article point to two separate articles with nothing else on that page. I would still, however, argue that those two linking articles be titled properly... Eureka, Winnebago County, Wisconsin and Town of Eureka, Polk County, Wisconsin. All references to Eureka in the Polk County article need to be accurately changed to Town of Eureka. To have anything less is unsatisfactory.
Most townships are adjacent to cities with the same name in Wisconsin. Town of Neenah is adjacent to Neenah. Town of Oshkosh is adjacent to Oshkosh, etc. To most people in those locations, there isn't much need to show differentiation. In this case, however, Eureka and Town of Eureka are hundreds of miles apart. My friends look up Eureka, Wisconsin on Wikipedia and think I live near the Minnesota border, when I actually live on the east side of Wisconsin closer to Lake Michigan. Thank you!

I'm not sure what is common in this situation, but your revert [3] of a page blanking was a page blanking by the creator of the article, which was double-prodded.

A review of his contribs shows that he has not made a single non-vandalizing edit in article namespace. They have all been vandalizing.

How do I prove that I wrote the text on www.knathangallery.com? My name is Keith N. Kelman. Nathan is my middle name. I own K. Nathan Gallery. I own www.knathangallery.com. Our gallery has been named representative of the Harold Frank estate. Since Wikipedia doesn't have a thing printed on Mr. Frank, I thought that it might be a good idea that it does. Harold Frank is an important American abstract expressionist who was highly regarded during his lifetime. He won many major national awards and was exhibited internationally. I have met and talked to several people who knew him. Many of his major works are just coming on the market through my gallery. I just ran a full page ad in Art & Antiques magazine. We are re-introducing him to the American public. I got my information from the book, Harold Frank, Abstract Expressionist by Sandie Stern, 2001. It is listed as my source in the article. It is the only book printed on Mr. Frank. Ms. Stern is the owner of the Harold Frank estate. I have the auction catalog from Phillips in 1989 where Frank's work was sold along with works by DeKooning, Stamos, Calder, etc. I don't care who uses the information from the article. What do you want to do? Go to Sandie's home to look at her source materials? If I took my writeup down from the K. Nathan Gallery website would there still be an objection to my providing the same information to Wikipedia? If Wikipedia doesn't want to list Mr. Frank, don't. Seemed like a good idea at the time. But, since Wikipedia doesn't seem to want information on this American artist, don't print it. I'm not going to jump through hoops for you, though.

Well I resub under the WT section. I'm trying to find out what I need to ad to the article.

One for Ray Ban and the other for California Milk it would marked as notable.

For Giffords' article, you just did a mass, mindless revert. If you read the talk page, there was caution not to do that because there's an improper text there. That part is about doctors who never saw her or reviewed her records who are making a prediction of the recovery time (based on other patients in general.) This is a Wikipedia no-no.
Just as Michael Douglas has cancer, we can't say that Douglas has 6-18 months to live (which is true of the kind of cancer that he has). If you don't believe me, insert it into the Douglas article and see what kind of trouble you will stir up. Madrid 2020 (talk) 02:27, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, C.Fred since you helped by giving your opinion in my deletion nomination of Wayne R. Bennett. I was wondering if you could access another article here and comment on the deletion proposal here. Aaaccc (talk), 31 January 2011 (UTC)
I saw you were the deleting admin for this article. I'm not sure if you've had a look at the talk page of the editor Bbchokra who created the article. The article's been speedy deleted for copyright reasons several times and every time it's deleted he recreates it. I'm not sure he understands the issue as his talk page is littered with warnings about copyright. Not sure what can be done but thought I'd let you know know.

The previous versions of this page were highly biased, provided little information, and were created for the sake of comedy. The website designated to this holiday is not professional and can be seen as politically incorrect. I wrote this article as a source for proper unbiased information. I believe it is in Wikipedia's interest to host a source of professional information on this topic. There are other examples of less notarial content hosted by Wikipedia which has received little to no scrutiny. If Wikipedia wishes, i would be more than happy to work on the wording of the content to meet their guidelines more efficiently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Funkyd04 (talk • contribs) 18:10, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Just been having a look round Wikipedia and was surprised there was no Dave Arcari (touring musician/songwriter based in Scotland – http://www.davearcari.com ) page. I was about to try and set one up but noticed that one had been deleted in 2007 - the Wikipedia website suggested contacting the 'deleting administrator' before proceeding. I'm hoping I'm contacting the right person?
Can you advise me on what I should do?

Hi C.Fred, I am the instructor for the class that's making changes to the Southern Polytechnic SU article. I want to thank you for your constructive advice, criticisms, and edits of my students' changes to that article. Your editorial presence has generated a good deal of positive excitement in the class. Students are exploring social media and Web 2.0 as they examine issues related to collaboration, audiences, evaluation of sources, credibility of information, etc. We just finished reading up on Wikipedia (including standards for featured, good, etc. articles). Students are also slowly learning the wiki tools they need to use to make and compare changes and to leave explanations. Students themselves selected the article for their group work, and their goal is definitely not promotion or advertising, although as you have pointed out some changes strayed into that territory. I am hoping that most of the problems with the edits will be caught before we are done, since group members will be reviewing each other’s changes, and groups will be reviewing other groups’ changes. The end result, I hope, will be acceptable improvements in the article, a better understanding of the editorial and review processes of Wikipedia, and new insights into collaboration (and other goals of the course). I have already studied the help pages and read “Wikipedia:School and university projects.” But I am eager to learn from an experienced editor. (I have made changes to articles before, but I registered for the first time for this class.) I hope we will be interacting some more with you in the various editing and discussion areas. In the meantime, please be assured that any unacceptable posts that may show up temporarily are due to unfamiliarity and that the students are very open to learning from you and other editors.

I think that the you should not have deleted what i have added to this article. 1. The roads should not be deleted because there is a diffrent area of cornell which is really big and that telling the readers where the exact location is. 2. Builders plays a big role in devoleping cornell because only about 40% of cornell is developed and that the builders are still on site STILL building homes for Cornell.

Please, if you can, block it. The editor is over the 3RR anyway and has had plenty of warnings (I've left him a couple of notes myself). Sitush (talk) 05:56, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments at 3RR, I agree and stated so on the page... I don't think the edits were vandalism per se so technically a violation (on the established user's part) especially considering neither tried to talk on the talk page, but assuming good faith, its probably fair to assume that the established user was just reverting assuming it was vandalism (you reverted the only edit that seemed to me to be obvious vandalism..). Luckily for the new user, they had exactly three edits so they probably won't be blocked for that.
Anyways, thanks for your comments. I probably shouldn't have filed that, but my tendency when I see a edit war is to just collect differences and report automatically, especially if I see they've already been warned..

Hi, a quick question if I may. I've just fixed a broken reflist at Jean-Marie_Pelt, caused by a recent edit. The edit has added list containing an absolute ton of books written by the subject of the article. The main body of the article is only 2 - 3 sentences. Does WP:NOTDIR apply here? Or some similar policy? I know lists can get long (I bet the Rolling Stones article is one such) but in this case it also seems to be a sort of "undue weight" thing. Effectively, a biographical article of no particular merit now looks more like a shopping/reading list.
I'm not massively bothered, just curious. - Sitush (talk) 18:17, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
I was actually rewriting for a broader scope. The use of this model is probably a good way to get the ball rolling - they are at the top of google, they have been around a while and actually their operation is much better than the one I work with. It is, in short, an excellent Best Practices.
But I totally take your point that we need to be sure to not come across like we are promoting any one or locked into a local viewpoint.
I actually am not anywhere near those ones.
If you are online maybe you can add the proper work in progress template tag I forgot how it reads.

It would be undue weight if the article was finished. I would have no problem fleshing out the rest of the article and other matter that needs to be in the article and then going back and extending the content.
It is cool that at least the (c) issue is laid to rest. And yes it is undue weight if that was a finished article but as you may note the article is only half an hour or so old.
I would agree that we need to presume that thousands of users may be taking the article as it is now for their eternal model of the final word of truth on the topic, so, fine, point taken, agreed:
More general content will be added before extending the subtopics.
Alternatively, as sub articles.
Um, please bear in mind that this article is pertinent to life saving measures and there may be a quantum of relaxation of wikilitigiousness for the sake of getting the content up.
I don't mind creating a more general article before unduly weighting, but if there is some imperfection in what I am able to complete in one sitting I would appreciate if the stub is not edited down to the point it is liable for deletion due to lack of content. Or, for that matter that it is not so pared down that it is essentially useless for people seeking information on the topic.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on CAPTCHA. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue.
In particular, the three-revert rule states that:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording, and content that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. R3ap3R.inc (talk) 19:07, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I realise that you have a lot on your plate at the moment, so sorry to pester. The Carlos Slim article seems to suffer greatly from people trying to adjust the figure for his wealth - all sorts of figures are bandied about - without providing a citation to verify it. Sometimes it is outright vandalism in that they also adjust other things and/or set the figure to nil, but more often I think it is ignorance. What is more, the adjustment is usually only made in the infobox, which leads to inconsistencies with the text.
I made a comment about this on the talk page but there have been a further three such attempts in the last hour or so. I'm sure that I have seen an article somewhere which had a banner at the top basically saying "if you intend to edit this in order to do X then please remember that it requires a citation.

I'm much more confident dealing with the defunct engineering companies of Manchester, UK - eg: W & J Galloway & Sons or Churchill Machine Tool Company - but keep getting drawn into other, diverse areas. The wonders of the web! Don't worry if you haven't the time or inclination to check it out: I'd quite understand. - Sitush (talk) 01:19, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

So if I rewrite the article from a non-biased POV (or get someone who isn't an intern or creator from outside the organization to) would I be able to try and post the Pack for a Purpose article once more? I would hate to spend all the time rewriting just to get blocked once again! — Preceding unsigned comment added by PackforaPurpose (talk • contribs) 01:10, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
What do I have to do to make the article about musicsupervisor.com a notable article. It is a real company, like any other company listed on here. I had linked references. Was it how I linked the references. What was the issue? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcosta1982 (talk • contribs) 01:34, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks so much for all of your help. I did what you suggested (to be found on my user page) and hope to see what you think. Hopefully this will be avoiding some of the issues I have before.
Thank you!

Dear Sir or Madam,
I have known this free encyclopedia as one that strives to make knowledge available on the web free of charge.This belief led me to check information on African freedom fighters on the page. To be genuine I first visited the article on Sudan Peoples Liberation Movement( SPLM)and searched Oromo Liberation Front for the sake of comparison.In effect the two subjects are covered with stark difference about the content and the spirit of the article. Does neutral point of view mean collection of allegations on the subject discussed?? Is the article meant to prove OLF as terrorist?? I believe you know the subject is very sensitive issue. And when you collect unproven allegations from websites or others collect unproven allegations on OLF and post as a neutral article, it is quite incredible.And it would severely undermine the profile of Wikipedia in the eyes of 40 million potential Oromo readers today or in the future. This is why I included links from neutral media like Nation TV Kenyan:1. [7] 2. [8] Please patiently watch these documentary and draw a conclusion from neutral point of view.In border areas even civilians are armed and they kill each other for posture (grazing lands) and loot each other. The fact that OLF traverses borders to seek safe haven often triggers people for prejudice like we see here. More than ever OLF is now stronger and carrying out its liberation struggle in the heart of Oromia ( Ethiopia) and more frequently posting military achievements on its website.It more unified and I believe the independence of Oromia is inevitable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oromian (talk • contribs) 03:51, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
See User:BJGoodman - got to be spam. And I note that this user substituted "Pack For A Purpose" in their sig further up your page. Never seen that before. - Sitush (talk) 03:53, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
Dear C.Fred: This is Oromian.
Any way, it is good that you see the article needs major edition and may be re-writing.I believe there are a lot of Oromo and non Oromo Scholars who can neutrally analysis OLF and improve the article for future documentation. In addition quite many times, journalists and bloggers duplicate what they hear or read from medias concerned on the issue with no regard to whether the media is neutral or not.Such media foreign journalists and bloggers fish on about OLF is EPDRF's mass media that frequently broadcasts fabricated accusations and well planned propaganda dramas on OLF.
And for millions of Oromo like me reading the same crap on famous website like Wikipedia irritates me much, because I know tens of thousands of innocent civilian Oromos are languishing in Ethiopian prisons, and thousands of civilians and students were killed at gun point accused of being or sympathizing with OLF .And I know OLF stands for the freedom of these victims.Wikipedia should know there are out there who do not want the Oromo citizens having their own human rights,freedom that all human beings are entitled to,their own country and bringing transformation to the lives of millions who are systematically impoverished by successive Abyssinian rulers,by tarnishing the images of OLF-the vanguard of Oromia.
If you allow, we can improve the article by creating neutral contributers from around the world.
Thank you very much for understanding my emotion on the article.
Sincerely, Oromian Links on EPRDF's atrocities on Oromos accused of being OLF or OLF supporters: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] The People OLF fights for. See parts on Oromia:[6] [7]TPLF's terrorist actions unveiled. The people OLF fights for:[8] --Oromian (talk) 17:20, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi, you'll hopefully recall that I've been developing and keeping an eye on the Carlos Slim article, and I know that you have intervened recently to revert various edits. It has gone haywire tonight because of the new information from Forbes. More to the point, it has gone haywire with edits from IP addresses. I sorted out the issue earlier and now umpteen incorrect revisions have occurred. Would I be justified in simply restoring it to my last edit, which included the Forbes info? It would be much simpler than trying to unpick all the problems and would not unduly affect the status of the article. Not sure what to do but am a little dispirited with the ratio of bad edits to good ones in the space of a couple of hours, especially since I worked off cited sources and a lot of the new stuff is a bit weird or even downright wrong. - Sitush (talk) 00:03, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

C.Fred, Just want to make sure that I understand what we should do so that the John Fowles Center page can be included. Because the wording is from the Chapman site, it has been deleted, is this correct? The John Fowles Center is an institute on Chapman University campus, the information on the website about the John Fowles Center comes from the center documents and brochures. Are you saying that we must reword the information on wiki so that it is different from this, even though the info on Chapman's website comes directly from printed materials produced by The John Fowles Center?

Good afternoon! My boss wanted me to try and rework the site once again to try and get Pack for a Purpose on Wikipedia. She was curious to why we keep being deleted when pages such as "Stuff You Rucksack" have a simular layout and seem to advertise Kate Humble (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuff_Your_Rucksack). Once again I will try to add more outside sources and see if I can get this approved via my userpage.
Once again thanks for all of the help. I'm sorry for being such an inconvenience!

Hi, I've been talking with the contributor who added the Syriac bit and it seems that is the full title of the church but, as you say, the short form shld suffice. I didn't want to push it further in the article because of warring. Oddly, this contributor favoured Maronite Christian over Maronite Catholic when I asked that question, and gave a detailed reasoning for it! Sometimes I feel life really ought to be a lot simpler than it is. Anyway, the good news is that this contributor seems to be a collaborative sort and so let's hope s/he hangs around. - Sitush (talk) 15:58, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

I;m so tired of having to constantly debate people on here( who have zero knowledge on snakes) about this ridiculous mice test. I should edit out the entire "most venomous or 2nd most venomous" line as its garbage... In reality NO ONE knows which snakes are the most venomous to humans....We know which snakes are the most venomous to MICE on a drop for drop basis but we dont know which are the most venomous to humans... Then their is also the fact that snake venom varies over population/location in the same species... No snake has a set ld50 value is venom toxicity and composition varies across its range for the same species. Also theirs the fact that the ld50 test is missing alot of snakes... I would say a good 20 highly venomous snakes are not on the ld50 test and haven't been tested. So how could we say the inland taipan is the most venomous when we still have plenty of likely highly venomous snakes that havent been tested yet... And don't even bring up how the test is ONLY on mice... and how EVERY different animal would have a different ld50 value for a given snake venom...Broadly stating that the "inland taipan has the most toxic drop for drop venom known" based on a test only done on mice is absurd.. It may be number 20 for dogs for all we know...We have no way of knowing which snakes are the most toxic to humans and any other animal except for mice.... I have evidence to support this and will gladly debate this with you or anyone else.
And dont tell me.." Just put it on the ld50 page"... No. I'm tired of the average nitwit reading this and thinking that its the truth when in reality its absurd.. The inland taipan could very well be the number 1 snake for humans...but it could also be number 30.. The point is we have no idea and I;m tired of people proclaiming the ld5o test as a fact when its a ridiculously inaccurate test.

Dear Fred,
I do believe that "ARTNETBOOK" is a new created word that represents the new systematic approach towards running and managing art galleries and artworks. The word ARTNETBOOK, is made out of a 3 words, ART, NET, BOOK, representing 3 main features - ART, NET, and BOOK, that explains about specially created tool for ARtists, art galleries all over the world, that can be united in one NET, and the word BOOK represents the business manner and New management system operated online!

I'm 99.9% sure that User:Wnfck and User:Vermapriya1986 are the same user (check out the similarities in their editing idiosyncracies at Talk:Let's Design). I gave Vermapriya a head's up that they should only use the one account in hopes that an SPI could be avoided, but it looks like the editor is using both accounts to edit disruptively and to try to give the appearance of consensus. If I do open an SPI do you want me to drop you the link? Or is it ducky enough to just block? --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 17:26, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

C.Fred,
In my Wiki editing experience of couple months, you are the only reasonable "Wiki cop" I ran into. Rest of the folks just dont care to provide a reason and slap unjustified warnings. Now, I dont know the rules so I am asking you, am I am allowed to remove unjustified warnings from my talk page or a "Wiki cop" has to do it?

C.Fred,
I made some edits on the Hadali page and they were deleted citing the reason that they were un-sourced. Now the source of the information for my edits was the other wiki pages I referred to. I even explained the user:Eeekster and requested to rollback the edits. Seems like no one paid any attention to my request. Here is what I wrote on that user's page:
"Eeekster,
You deleted my edits on article [Hadali] calling them unsourced. Well, did you read the articles I made a reference to in my edit:
"This is the village where the famous Sikh civil contractor, who built New Delhi, Sir Sobha Singh and his famous writer and journalist son, Khushwant Singh were born."
The two articles I made reference to, have sources providing the same information. I just connected the dots. Can you now revert your deletions, pls?
Thanks, Smartest stupid (talk) 04:03, 27 March 2011 (UTC)"
Since that user is not rolling back, what should be the next step?

A problem has cropped up, and I need some advice on how to go with it. A while ago, WP:Record charts (which incorporates WP:GOODCHARTS and WP:BADCHARTS) got moved to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (record charts). That's causing some trouble, with some editors claiming that since it is now an MOS page, it can't possibly be viewed as a guideline related to article content (and, in an even more bizarre thought process, that it only can apply to the tables of charts, not other text relating to charts). Take a look at this example: like I say in the discussion, I can see the argument that it's a sufficiently special case to override the guideline, but I still find the argument that the guideline doesn't apply at all to be surreal.
In a sense, they have a point: MOS pages don't usually contain anything related to source reliability, notability, or anything like that: they are strictly where to put hyphens, dashes, and the like. WP:GOODCHARTS and WP:BADCHARTS don't belong in that kind of guideline: they've got nothing to do with formatting, and everything to do with source reliability and notability.
I can easily split the thing up, probably by making WP:GOODCHARTS, WP:BADCHARTS, and WP:USCHARTS independent guidelines, and focusing Wikipedia:Manual of Style (record charts) strictly on the table formats. I'm worried that I would be viewed as a biased editor, and wind up with a backlash that made all three lose credibility. Do you think I'm being paranoid? Do WP:GOODCHARTS and WP:BADCHARTS have enough buy-in by enough editors that I can put them someplace else and maintain them as guidelines? Or am I just better off hoping that this kind of fight never shows up again?—Kww(talk) 19:18, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
