Hello Malber, Im SWD316. Im giving you the user box for your user page called Template:User Member. It's a user box that says your a member of the AWWDMBJ.... Hope you like it! SWD316 03:45, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
You may be interested in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Pop music issues. I see that you have pasted into the Talk page the paragraph that you are concerned violates WP:NOR. You might want to consider illustrating each fact in that paragraph that is uncited. It would be easier to find appropriate citations for individual facts than for an entire paragraph.

Thanks for the compliment, but I just personally feel that any subject I have an interest in is "deserving of my talents". Although given the controversy involving the Strickland article and November (film), I'm rather hesitant about writing an article that is later promoted to featured status, and then it being criticised for the subject's supposed lack of notability. Regardless, I'm working on an article at the moment that I intend on submitting to FAC whose subject definitely is notable. Anyway, thanks again for the compliment, and I'm interested to see the discussion on Wikipedia talk:Featured articles (or the WP:FAC and WP:WIAFA talk pages) about introducing a subject notability criterion to the FA criteria. Extraordinary Machine 23:47, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks to you for supporting my writing style in this article (the bulk of the article was researched and written by my friend, Stuart Feild, and I, in collaboration with him, edited and rephrased the bulk of the article). I spent a lot of time on the intro to this article, trying to find the right words to summarize the park's financial ups and downs throughout its years, and was eventually very satisfied with the sentence that you referred to. I was very dismayed to find it rephrased by some of my peers on November 10th, the day it was featured on the front page. Nevertheless, I'm relatively new here and I've accepted their decisions, though I disagree; I think a measure of creativity of expression is appropriate and desirable and stimulates the reader, and I've found that some of you, my peers, feel the same way. Perhaps some day our view will be accepted in Wikipedia. --RogerK 02:31, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello. Actually, I was going to delete the lyrics. Someone keeps posting the same materials onto the Star Trek (original series) website and to keep him/her from doing this, I set up a separate article. I was going to delete all by the first line after I had the other person cooled down (stuff like this you have to do in stages. It is a very strange story about how Star Trek had lyrics.

Normally I'm very critical of an article's failure to describe fiction as fiction, but I'm unclear as to what the problem is with this article on this issue.

I removed speedy tags that you had added to Jim Black and Jason Bittner. Both had some reasonable claim to notability, but I decided to redirect the second one for the time being. I later saw that you went back and edited these articles, apparently agreeing with me that these articles are not speedy candidates. Please consider that a too hastily added speedy tag may actually lead to some perfectly decent article being deleted by a hurried admin. Unless the non-notability is really clear, it is better to use ((context)) or ((importance)) tags or to take it to AFD. up+l+and 08:14, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia Review is not a "neo-Nazi" "Wikipedia hate site". There are no neo-nazi's on the forum - at least, no open neo-nazis - and it's not a "hate site" - it's simply highly critical. You were banned from the site for trolling, no other reason. If you want to hold that as a badge of honor, it's your perogative, but I would request that you at least be honest about it. Oh, and before you call 207.118.103.139 a sockpuppet of Internodeuser, you should do a whois on it. It's a CenturyTel IP, and geolocates to Canyon City, OR.

"This person is not notable other than being a friend of Ashton Kutcher and appearing once on Punk'd. I've listed this for speedy delete. --malber 15:44, 3 February 2006 (UTC)"
Let me ask you something. Who the hell are you to pass any judgement to a person? In case you didn't know, he IS a musician (has fans from all over the world) and has been writing songs for Eric Martin, Richie Kotzen, etc. You DO think his is not notable OTHER than being a friend of Ashton Kutcher. It's your opinion. Sorry but before you post, make sure you've done something right. unsigned comments by 201.0.37.97 (talk · contribs)
I do not agree with your policy of judgement. I've got a source where you can find everything about Frank Alexander's career: google.com. By the way, what's a notable person? A mainstream singer? Britney Spears? Michael Jackson?
I'm not his fan (special note: I'm Eric Martin's fan), I didn't donate aything to Wikipedia, I'm not even a Wikipedian then I won't spend my time with writing an article about him. I don't actually know anything about his career. But I do know he's a famous producer/composer/musician. Since you found it so *illegal* you ought write a decent article (source: google.com) not simply ask Wikipedia to delete down a whole page. I don't think reporting a page for speedy delete is kind of helpful. unsigned comment by 201.13.30.107 (talk · contribs) on Feb 6, 2006

In regards to this "perhaps Frank Alexander should spend less time on self promotion and pointing himself out as Ashton Kutcher's friend"; I totally agree with you. I guess Frank Alexander isn't a celebrity. He may be into the underground scene (let's get this straight, a few people know him), but it doesn't mean he is a celebrity. Fact. On the other hand, I have stopped by bunch of articles which may not contain relevant informations, but aren't flagged. Also, I've read on people who I've never heard of before.

There was no "page move", nor was there any vandalism, Malber.

On Criticism of Wikipedia, you put a ((fact)) tag on the following sentence:
One external reference which might be used to document this claim is--guess what--Wikipedia Review, which contains numerous disgruntled users making precisely such claims. Of course WR doesn't document the veracity of such claims (many of which I consider to be nonsense, and I'm sure you agree), but it does document their existence. And the claim that "contributors have quit after denouncing alleged abuses", can be verified by reading WR and other cites. Of course, there may be (and doubtless are) better references for this claim.
Just thought I'd point this out.

It's called an OBSERVATION, not an accusation. There's a difference. Look at the wording I used. I was basically saying that according to what I've seen you two type on here makes it APPEAR that you think that way. Besides, I've seen what you've typed yourself, accusing people of self diagnosis [1], claiming there's a political aspect to identifying with Asperger's [2], and saying that being Aspie is like joining a special club [3] [4]. Maybe you should read WP:NPA. Besides, it was these edits by you that lead to my observation.

Hi Malber,
I have a couple of points relating to your 'edits' of Business Continuity and the Continuity Forum, both of which you decided to edit and/or schedule for deletion one for Alexa Traffic issues and the other for the use of what you termed copyright material.
First off the Continuity Forum: The links given and the information provided clearly illustrate that the organisation are heavily involved in the international development of Business Continuity are are the ONLY 'Independent, Not for Profit' group active in this area. The website is used by Police, Government and other emergency services groups as a source for impartial and accurate information. In real terms, Alexa rating mean nothing unless Wiki is just going to deal with Popular, high hit rate stuff and I don't think that is the case ... is it? BTW there are over 500 pages of advice, support and information on that site which would cost £10,000's to access commercially and it is given freely by the Continuity Forum for all to use.
Secondly, you cite the use of copyright materials in a piece outlining Business Continuity. YES it is Copyright, but is is MY copyright and was originally published on the Continuity Forum Website. It was then reproduced by others with my permission ...
I hope that this resolves things —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BCM Pro (talk • contribs) 12:42, May 23, 2006.
Sorry Malber, but I have read the cited guidance on original Research etc as clarified below:
This policy in a nutshell: Articles may not contain any unpublished theories, data, statements, concepts, arguments, or ideas; or any new analysis or synthesis of published data, statements, concepts, arguments, or ideas that serves to advance a position.
As the materials provided are both Published and used as the basis for both Government and professional body guidance. I fail to see why it is unacceptable, especially as it is being freely given.
I am surprised that we are even having a debate about something that is clearly so useful and essential to organsations and individuals.
BCM Pro 20:04, 23 May 2006 (UTC)BCM Pro
I HAVE fully reviewed the policies and I'm confused by your application of these rules to this entry. Your logic in determining the the 'credibility' or status of the entries provided does not seem to fit with the information provided and any investigation seems to be rather superficial.
Points in summary are:
1. The Continuity Forum are the leading advisers to UK Government (and the Emergency services, Fire Police and Health) and Business, also working at UK and European Governmental and regulatory levels on BCM and related standards ... yet you doubt expertise ... on what basis do you form this opinion?
2. You refer to 'sources' when they are the source of guidance to the above and in the opinion of real experts on the topic they are the leading 'Think Tank'in the world covering both development and application, providing the baseline metrics to Business & Government, impartially and with no commercial agenda.
3. They're trusted by legislators providing the Guidance in Law under the Civil Contingencies Act 2005. In addition, UK Resilience, the Security Service and most public bodies use the reseach and material provided by the Continuity Forum
I can't think of a more expert group than that and there is certainly no-one else with the same level of credibility in the sector!
I had thought that the WIKI project was about promoting access to knowledge, so I am rather disappointed that it appears to be rather less than that.

Even if it was me, it's irrelevant, as the edits (with the exception of one, which falls more under WP:NPA than vandalism) were not vandalism. If you don't like people editting your userpage, you really shouldn't invite them to. And listing as evidence against me the fact that I removed an innappropriate ((test4)) from my talk page... Malber, you placed that template there for the same reason you placed ((defwarn)) and ((multipleIPs)) - to troll. I reverted it for that reason.

You said you searched for Frank Alexander on IMDB but it was inconclusive. I e-mailed IMDB about 3 days ago; I got a reply right now. I explained to them I was searching for Frank Alexander who was born on July 1, 75 http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0018420 / he is credited as Alex Caldwell on Punk'd http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2091444/; admin either warned me that they did not find a credible source, not even an official site and it's not appropriate to submit his biography, that is why all info has been blank. Come to think of it, you're right. Frank Alexander isn't a notable person. I apologize. But please, see. I have heard of him for his "appearance" on Punkd. Aditional comment; Pacific http://www.randkmusicmix.com/Artists_P.htm is a NZ band and the name was misspelled as Pacifer. The title of the song is Bullitproof, not Bulletproof which was written by Pacifier. I got this comment on Orkut. You clearly tried to humble whoever wrote the article but it didn't worked.

As an editor of Lists of topics, I'd like your opinion at Topics redesign. Thanks. --gatoatigrado 15:44, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for asking my opinions about this article. I agree that it's pretty badly done, but I hope it isn't deleted. Here's why:
The Ann Coulter article tends to accumulate a lot of poorly-done, extremely negative-point-of-view material, often posted by not-very-competent, not-very-thoughtful editors. These editors tend to be adamant that their material is notable, neutral, and perfect in every way. They tend to be not very good at explaining why, other than to re-assert that their material is notable, neutral, and perfect in every way.
Sometimes editors can be convinced that the egregiously negative stuff belongs in the Criticisms article, and they move it there. (Or, in some cases, duplicate it there.) IMHO, this is a Very Good Thing, in that it improves the Ann Coulter article. It is also a skill-building exercise for some of the not-very-good editors.
I think of the Criticisms article as sort of a floor drain or grease trap, where nasty goo can collect and do no harm. Like all floor drains and grease traps, it isn't a very pretty place.
It's possible that somebody will undertake a cleanup of the Criticisms article, and I earnestly wish them success. In the meantime, the article serves a useful and hygienic function, and I hope it stays in the encyclopedia. Lou Sander 20:31, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
(I didn't remember you as the "criticisms of" guy)
Thanks for removing the IMHO totally inappropriate/out of touch religion paragraph. I tried to remove it once, or at least discussed doing so, but one of the other regular Coulter editors said something like "well, she doubted evolution, and the only doubt about evolution comes from religious groups, so this must be part of her religion." IMHO that's absolutely nutty, but typical of what happens all the time in the Coulter article. Thanks again, and don't be surprised if somebody puts it back in. Lou Sander 02:41, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah yes. I'm sorry. I intended to say that it had been transcribed into one place on the article concerning another person. Once we have more information or more notable by himself, we can split the article back up and give him his own page. Since there was little more information available on that page, it seems sensible to keep it in the same place. Basically identical rationale to that of Ohconfucius.

It seems to me that the focus of your arguments is more concerned with a policy-level than an individual article level. The question of what level of notability is required for players of a particular competitive game is not fixed, but it's clear that tournament level Magic is well-established, having been around over 10 years. This is especially important given that you've gone after two of the most important players of Magic, who if they're excluded, would necessitate excluding all Magic players who had no other notability. And I don't know about you, but I would find it strange if they were not to be found. And since you've also brought up other sports, it is clear that many of them would also need to be evaluated if the standard you seem to be endorsing were accepted. It's hardly fair to make decisions with such widespread ramifications without giving a chance for input. Let me know if you wish to go that route. FrozenPurpleCube 19:37, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Well, Chess is certainly more notable than Magic. It's been around a long while, and for various reasons it has a lot of cachet. And there possible are a lot more chess players than magic players (though I wouldn't say it's a lot more. ). There are certainly more Chess players with articles. See Chess players. Some of those may easily be notable(say Fischer, or Kasparov), but others like Izaak Appel or Alexander Evensohn? Why shouldn't they be deleted? Personally, I'd hate to go down that list, but that I could find two with random clicks does show it would be worth considering.
Addiitonally, the point I was making with tournament level magic was not in regards to length, but as a condition of establishment. It's been around over a decade. It's organized, and international, with Pro-level games played on every continent except Antarctica.. It's not some fly-by-night matter. Surely you can't argue that say, the article on Magic's World Championships should be deleted? Even if the game stopped being published, it'd still be notable, and so would its highest-level of play.
Oh, and if you have moved things to a policy level, it would be worth noting that in all the AfDs proposed on the subject. FrozenPurpleCube 20:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Please read this: Starcity news which mentions an interview of Budde in a magazine produced by Beckett. Is that not independent enough? FrozenPurpleCube 23:05, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Does that mean you're going to change your vote? FrozenPurpleCube 14:16, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Well, if I owned the Beckett magazine, and knew the interview had some valuable content, I'd do so, but since I don't, and I don't want to buy it (they do have back issues), that's a problem for another person. And you're right, it doesn't matter for the vote, but it'd certainly impress me that you could be persuaded to change your mind, and probably a few others who have expressed concern about the reasons behind the nomination.

I am familiar with the Wikipedia contribution policy and I do not intend to maliciously revert people pages. However you seem to be continually reverting my own edits (which were made over a month ago without any problems) seemingly without any knowledge of the situation (you make a vague reference to a "weblog" which has nothing to do with anything) and without acknowledging why on the discussion page. I am making edits to clear up another piece of controversial information which you did not delete, despite its own lack of legitimacy. Please either explain to me the reasoning behind your hostility or meet with me in another medium. I would be happy to chat with you. TheMagnificentHazo 01:23, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I read his review of The Two Towers (and most of The Return of the King review) a while ago. While he does have some good points, and can be added to elaborate on widly held criticism, I think it's laughable to include it as a source as if it were a majority view. Like you said "one fanboy's rant is not "some people"". What I didn't get was what "TL;DR" ment (I'm not too affluent on the internet lingo). But I figured it out when you included a link. --Ted87 18:24, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Just FYI, here's the long sad Brian Chase story. We used to have Brian Chase, about the drummer. Then the whole libel thing started, and Brian Chase was changed to a disambig to Brian Chase (drummer) and Brian Chase (hoaxster) (I think that's what it was called). Then there was a vote on hoaxster Chase and it was agreed that his article be deleted. So we had a disambig that pointed only to the drummer page and a page about the controversy. There shouldn't be a disambig when there's only one article under a name, so I moved the content from Brian Chase (drummer) to Brian Chase, added a top-line DAB pointing people to the Weiglhalger controversy page, and changed Brian Chase (drummer) to a redirect. All was fine for months until some anon editor changed Brian Chase back to an article about the hoaxster. Then you found the redirect pointing to the wrong place and fixed that, understandably. What a mess. Anyway, I tried to clean it up by reverting everything but in the meantime somebody put in a delete request at Brian Chase, sigh... —Chowbok 20:19, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

If you'd bothered to look at the diff from when I actually userfied this page, you'd see that at that point it was just a brief mini-bio of the user, which is perfectly acceptable for the user namespace.

I've noticed that you seem to have gotten yourself into some disputes with a number of admins over finer points of policy or your interpretation thereof. You don't know me and I don't know much about you or what you do/have done for Wikipedia. I haven't looked at your contributions. I have seen your talk page and the talk pages of some of the people you have recently corresponded with. You seem to be trying quite a lot of people's patience. Admins have been trusted with upholding the wishes of the community. Aadmins usually have a much stretchier patience than the average Wikipedian and have been chosen for this quality, thus it worries me when they have their patience exhausted. Having a signature that is your actual real-life name is not something to complain about. If anything, you should be praising Journalist for being upfront as so many people complain about lack of transparency. In any event, having a signature that links to the correct page is all that counts. In fact, that is currently suggested—on a policy page, mind you—over a username change if someones wants to go by something different. I think you should look at past RfAs and see what kind of supports have been given. It is the community consensus—and thus policy—that you can really say whatever you want as long as you aren't violating other policies. I was given a "16oz steak" among other things in my RfA. The community hasn't had an issue with such things in the past. If you wish to seek a consensus on this you could bring it up at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship. You can also bring up the signature issue on the appropriate talk page. Please do not edit policy pages without first getting consensus. I also want to let you know that you can be blocked for exhausting community patience. You will do so quickly if you continue to circumvent consensus discussions and harrassing people for violating your interpretation of policy.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 15:26, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment, but I just personally feel that any subject I have an interest in is "deserving of my talents". Although given the controversy involving the Strickland article and November (film), I'm rather hesitant about writing an article that is later promoted to featured status, and then it being criticised for the subject's supposed lack of notability. Regardless, I'm working on an article at the moment that I intend on submitting to FAC whose subject definitely is notable. Anyway, thanks again for the compliment, and I'm interested to see the discussion on Wikipedia talk:Featured articles (or the WP:FAC and WP:WIAFA talk pages) about introducing a subject notability criterion to the FA criteria. Extraordinary Machine 23:47, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks to you for supporting my writing style in this article (the bulk of the article was researched and written by my friend, Stuart Feild, and I, in collaboration with him, edited and rephrased the bulk of the article). I spent a lot of time on the intro to this article, trying to find the right words to summarize the park's financial ups and downs throughout its years, and was eventually very satisfied with the sentence that you referred to. I was very dismayed to find it rephrased by some of my peers on November 10th, the day it was featured on the front page. Nevertheless, I'm relatively new here and I've accepted their decisions, though I disagree; I think a measure of creativity of expression is appropriate and desirable and stimulates the reader, and I've found that some of you, my peers, feel the same way. Perhaps some day our view will be accepted in Wikipedia. --RogerK 02:31, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not his fan (special note: I'm Eric Martin's fan), I didn't donate aything to Wikipedia, I'm not even a Wikipedian then I won't spend my time with writing an article about him. I don't actually know anything about his career. But I do know he's a famous producer/composer/musician.

On Criticism of Wikipedia, you put a ((fact)) tag on the following sentence:
One external reference which might be used to document this claim is--guess what--Wikipedia Review, which contains numerous disgruntled users making precisely such claims. Of course WR doesn't document the veracity of such claims (many of which I consider to be nonsense, and I'm sure you agree), but it does document their existence. And the claim that "contributors have quit after denouncing alleged abuses", can be verified by reading WR and other cites. Of course, there may be (and doubtless are) better references for this claim.

Hi Malber,
I have a couple of points relating to your 'edits' of Business Continuity and the Continuity Forum, both of which you decided to edit and/or schedule for deletion one for Alexa Traffic issues and the other for the use of what you termed copyright material.
First off the Continuity Forum: The links given and the information provided clearly illustrate that the organisation are heavily involved in the international development of Business Continuity are are the ONLY 'Independent, Not for Profit' group active in this area. The website is used by Police, Government and other emergency services groups as a source for impartial and accurate information. In real terms, Alexa rating mean nothing unless Wiki is just going to deal with Popular, high hit rate stuff and I don't think that is the case ... is it? BTW there are over 500 pages of advice, support and information on that site which would cost £10,000's to access commercially and it is given freely by the Continuity Forum for all to use.
Secondly, you cite the use of copyright materials in a piece outlining Business Continuity. YES it is Copyright, but is is MY copyright and was originally published on the Continuity Forum Website. It was then reproduced by others with my permission ...
I hope that this resolves things —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BCM Pro (talk • contribs) 12:42, May 23, 2006.
Sorry Malber, but I have read the cited guidance on original Research etc as clarified below:
This policy in a nutshell: Articles may not contain any unpublished theories, data, statements, concepts, arguments, or ideas; or any new analysis or synthesis of published data, statements, concepts, arguments, or ideas that serves to advance a position.
As the materials provided are both Published and used as the basis for both Government and professional body guidance. I fail to see why it is unacceptable, especially as it is being freely given.

I HAVE fully reviewed the policies and I'm confused by your application of these rules to this entry. Your logic in determining the the 'credibility' or status of the entries provided does not seem to fit with the information provided and any investigation seems to be rather superficial.
Points in summary are:
1. The Continuity Forum are the leading advisers to UK Government (and the Emergency services, Fire Police and Health) and Business, also working at UK and European Governmental and regulatory levels on BCM and related standards ... yet you doubt expertise ... on what basis do you form this opinion?
2. You refer to 'sources' when they are the source of guidance to the above and in the opinion of real experts on the topic they are the leading 'Think Tank'in the world covering both development and application, providing the baseline metrics to Business & Government, impartially and with no commercial agenda.
3. They're trusted by legislators providing the Guidance in Law under the Civil Contingencies Act 2005. In addition, UK Resilience, the Security Service and most public bodies use the reseach and material provided by the Continuity Forum
I can't think of a more expert group than that and there is certainly no-one else with the same level of credibility in the sector!
I had thought that the WIKI project was about promoting access to knowledge, so I am rather disappointed that it appears to be rather less than that.

Thanks, it was appreciated, it's pretty hectic on Wikipedia lately (although maybe it's always like this?) I didn't forget your comment on the 3rr board, thanks for the support. I think something's seriously wrong with SlimVirgin, she acts pretty much like a spoilt brat trying to get her own way from what I've seen.
I can see SK's point regards the whole harassment issue but you don't seem that bad, though maybe you should read up a bit on psychology and the DSM before making judgements about whether genetic disorders are "made up to excuse bad behaviour". --Col. Hauler 14:09, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

That's really cute, Malber, listing me on WP:AIV [25]. I'm not going to say whether or not 207.118.103.139 is an IP of mine because it's not my responsibility to defend myself against spurious vandalism accusations - but I would like to state a few things. Even if it was me, it's irrelevant, as the edits (with the exception of one, which falls more under WP:NPA than vandalism) were not vandalism. If you don't like people editting your userpage, you really shouldn't invite them to. And listing as evidence against me the fact that I removed an innappropriate ((test4)) from my talk page... Malber, you placed that template there for the same reason you placed ((defwarn)) and ((multipleIPs)) - to troll. I reverted it for that reason. There is no vandalism in any of my contributions, and even if there was, ((test4)) would not be appropriate, and you would not have the ability to enforce it anyway. Leave me alone, Malber. --Blu Aardvark | (talk) | (contribs) 05:22, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
You said you searched for Frank Alexander on IMDB but it was inconclusive. I e-mailed IMDB about 3 days ago; I got a reply right now. I explained to them I was searching for Frank Alexander who was born on July 1, 75 http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0018420 / he is credited as Alex Caldwell on Punk'd http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2091444/; admin either warned me that they did not find a credible source, not even an official site and it's not appropriate to submit his biography, that is why all info has been blank. Come to think of it, you're right. Frank Alexander isn't a notable person. I apologize. But please, see. I have heard of him for his "appearance" on Punkd. Aditional comment; Pacific http://www.randkmusicmix.com/Artists_P.htm is a NZ band and the name was misspelled as Pacifer. The title of the song is Bullitproof, not Bulletproof which was written by Pacifier. I got this comment on Orkut. You clearly tried to humble whoever wrote the article but it didn't worked.

As an editor of Lists of topics, I'd like your opinion at Topics redesign. Thanks. --gatoatigrado 15:44, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for asking my opinions about this article. I agree that it's pretty badly done, but I hope it isn't deleted. Here's why:
The Ann Coulter article tends to accumulate a lot of poorly-done, extremely negative-point-of-view material, often posted by not-very-competent, not-very-thoughtful editors. These editors tend to be adamant that their material is notable, neutral, and perfect in every way. They tend to be not very good at explaining why, other than to re-assert that their material is notable, neutral, and perfect in every way.
Sometimes editors can be convinced that the egregiously negative stuff belongs in the Criticisms article, and they move it there. (Or, in some cases, duplicate it there.) IMHO, this is a Very Good Thing, in that it improves the Ann Coulter article. It is also a skill-building exercise for some of the not-very-good editors.
I think of the Criticisms article as sort of a floor drain or grease trap, where nasty goo can collect and do no harm. Like all floor drains and grease traps, it isn't a very pretty place.
It's possible that somebody will undertake a cleanup of the Criticisms article, and I earnestly wish them success. In the meantime, the article serves a useful and hygienic function, and I hope it stays in the encyclopedia. Lou Sander 20:31, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
(I didn't remember you as the "criticisms of" guy)
Thanks for removing the IMHO totally inappropriate/out of touch religion paragraph. I tried to remove it once, or at least discussed doing so, but one of the other regular Coulter editors said something like "well, she doubted evolution, and the only doubt about evolution comes from religious groups, so this must be part of her religion." IMHO that's absolutely nutty, but typical of what happens all the time in the Coulter article. Thanks again, and don't be surprised if somebody puts it back in. Lou Sander 02:41, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Malber said:
I hope you read this right and that it's Billy Jackson, not Peter Jackson.
Ah yes. I'm sorry. I intended to say that it had been transcribed into one place on the article concerning another person. Once we have more information or more notable by himself, we can split the article back up and give him his own page. Since there was little more information available on that page, it seems sensible to keep it in the same place. Basically identical rationale to that of Ohconfucius. Thank you for following this one up, I felt like making things less complicated on the Article's AFD page, yet had OhC's comments in my head at the same time. Bobo. 18:09, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I assumed the "stringray population tripling in the last six months" was a reference to the Stephen Colbert/elephant population thing -- but then I see you are a serious user with a long history of good edits?

Hi, I see that you have been restoring information to the Pete Holly article. If the AfD discussion closes with the article having been revised to include sources and ultimately being kept, that would be acceptable to me. However, some of the content still needs to be sourced. Thanks for your attention to this. --Metropolitan90 14:28, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

It seems to me that the focus of your arguments is more concerned with a policy-level than an individual article level. The question of what level of notability is required for players of a particular competitive game is not fixed, but it's clear that tournament level Magic is well-established, having been around over 10 years. This is especially important given that you've gone after two of the most important players of Magic, who if they're excluded, would necessitate excluding all Magic players who had no other notability. And I don't know about you, but I would find it strange if they were not to be found. And since you've also brought up other sports, it is clear that many of them would also need to be evaluated if the standard you seem to be endorsing were accepted. It's hardly fair to make decisions with such widespread ramifications without giving a chance for input. Let me know if you wish to go that route. FrozenPurpleCube 19:37, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Well, Chess is certainly more notable than Magic. It's been around a long while, and for various reasons it has a lot of cachet. And there possible are a lot more chess players than magic players (though I wouldn't say it's a lot more. ). There are certainly more Chess players with articles. See Chess players. Some of those may easily be notable(say Fischer, or Kasparov), but others like Izaak Appel or Alexander Evensohn? Why shouldn't they be deleted? Personally, I'd hate to go down that list, but that I could find two with random clicks does show it would be worth considering.
Addiitonally, the point I was making with tournament level magic was not in regards to length, but as a condition of establishment. It's been around over a decade. It's organized, and international, with Pro-level games played on every continent except Antarctica.. It's not some fly-by-night matter. Surely you can't argue that say, the article on Magic's World Championships should be deleted? Even if the game stopped being published, it'd still be notable, and so would its highest-level of play.
Oh, and if you have moved things to a policy level, it would be worth noting that in all the AfDs proposed on the subject. FrozenPurpleCube 20:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, if I owned the Beckett magazine, and knew the interview had some valuable content, I'd do so, but since I don't, and I don't want to buy it (they do have back issues), that's a problem for another person. And you're right, it doesn't matter for the vote, but it'd certainly impress me that you could be persuaded to change your mind, and probably a few others who have expressed concern about the reasons behind the nomination.

I am familiar with the Wikipedia contribution policy and I do not intend to maliciously revert people pages. However you seem to be continually reverting my own edits (which were made over a month ago without any problems) seemingly without any knowledge of the situation (you make a vague reference to a "weblog" which has nothing to do with anything) and without acknowledging why on the discussion page. I am making edits to clear up another piece of controversial information which you did not delete, despite its own lack of legitimacy. Please either explain to me the reasoning behind your hostility or meet with me in another medium. I would be happy to chat with you. TheMagnificentHazo 01:23, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I read his review of The Two Towers (and most of The Return of the King review) a while ago. While he does have some good points, and can be added to elaborate on widly held criticism, I think it's laughable to include it as a source as if it were a majority view. Like you said "one fanboy's rant is not "some people"". What I didn't get was what "TL;DR" ment (I'm not too affluent on the internet lingo). But I figured it out when you included a link. --Ted87 18:24, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Just FYI, here's the long sad Brian Chase story. We used to have Brian Chase, about the drummer. Then the whole libel thing started, and Brian Chase was changed to a disambig to Brian Chase (drummer) and Brian Chase (hoaxster) (I think that's what it was called). Then there was a vote on hoaxster Chase and it was agreed that his article be deleted. So we had a disambig that pointed only to the drummer page and a page about the controversy. There shouldn't be a disambig when there's only one article under a name, so I moved the content from Brian Chase (drummer) to Brian Chase, added a top-line DAB pointing people to the Weiglhalger controversy page, and changed Brian Chase (drummer) to a redirect. All was fine for months until some anon editor changed Brian Chase back to an article about the hoaxster. Then you found the redirect pointing to the wrong place and fixed that, understandably. What a mess. Anyway, I tried to clean it up by reverting everything but in the meantime somebody put in a delete request at Brian Chase, sigh... —Chowbok 20:19, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

If you'd bothered to look at the diff from when I actually userfied this page, you'd see that at that point it was just a brief mini-bio of the user, which is perfectly acceptable for the user namespace.

I've noticed that you seem to have gotten yourself into some disputes with a number of admins over finer points of policy or your interpretation thereof. You don't know me and I don't know much about you or what you do/have done for Wikipedia. I haven't looked at your contributions. I have seen your talk page and the talk pages of some of the people you have recently corresponded with. You seem to be trying quite a lot of people's patience. Admins have been trusted with upholding the wishes of the community. Aadmins usually have a much stretchier patience than the average Wikipedian and have been chosen for this quality, thus it worries me when they have their patience exhausted. Having a signature that is your actual real-life name is not something to complain about. If anything, you should be praising Journalist for being upfront as so many people complain about lack of transparency. In any event, having a signature that links to the correct page is all that counts. In fact, that is currently suggested—on a policy page, mind you—over a username change if someones wants to go by something different. I think you should look at past RfAs and see what kind of supports have been given. It is the community consensus—and thus policy—that you can really say whatever you want as long as you aren't violating other policies. I was given a "16oz steak" among other things in my RfA. The community hasn't had an issue with such things in the past. If you wish to seek a consensus on this you could bring it up at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship. You can also bring up the signature issue on the appropriate talk page. Please do not edit policy pages without first getting consensus.

Thanks again for your support! --Elonka 07:27, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, it's been a week now that I've been an administrator and I'd like to take this moment to once again thank everyone who supported my RfA, and to let you all know that I don't think I've screwed anything up yet so I hope I'm living up to everyone's expectations for me. But if I ever fall short of those expectations, I'd certainly welcome folks telling me about it!
Atlant 14:11, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Apparantly I misunderstood the intention behind your question on my RfA. A block upon someone who violates the rules is indeed "a penalty imposed for wrongdoing", which is how I interpreted your question originally. What I now presume you are asking is about the intentions of the blocker, whether the block is made for the sole purpose of imposing the penalty itself, or whether it is in fact protective or preventative. The appropriate analogy would be the sentencing of a person to prison. Regardless of the intentions of the State, it is a punishment for the prisoner. However, the State may be jailing the person not because they wish to punish him, but because they need to be jailed for the protection of others. What you are trying to ask is whether there is ever a case in which an admin would be justified in punishing for punishings sake, correct? GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 16:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
I think your question about citing policy in XfD is rather challenging. I might have a difficult time answering that one. I think in XfD it is a good idea to state other reasons for a deletion/keep other than citing the alphabet soup of policy, unless it is an unambiguous delete/keep/merge. —Malber (talk · contribs) 15:50, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your support in my RfA, which passed with a final tally of (56/0/2). It was great to see so much kind support from such competent editors and administrators as commented on my RfA.
I know I have much reading to do before I'll feel comfortable enough to use some of the more powerful admin tools, so I'll get right to it.

Hi, Malber. I go through the RFAs twice a week or so, and your questions always come up. Forgive me for my amateurity, especially as I have been here for so long, but what specifically is a punitive block? Wouldn't every block be considered punitive in a way? bibliomaniac15 Review? 02:09, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Malber, I answered your questions at my RfA. I've got two of my own. Why do you ask them of me and why do you ask them of so many candidates? I'm sure you're aware of some of the controversy about asking every candidate the same questions and asking many optional questions, so I won't repeat it. If you want to just link to a dialogue or something, that would be a helpful answer to my questions. Thanks.--Kchase T 05:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I had to regretfully block you for trolling, disruption and putting fake warnings on other users' talk pages. As you might have learnt from the past it is always better not to disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a WP:POINT. — Nearly Headless Nick 15:32, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Although I disagreed very strongly with Malber's position in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship#Malber's age question, I believe this is a highly problematic block. In particular, Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, being involved in an active dispute with Malber at the time, should not have been the blocking administrator. While the weight of opinion in the discussion on the "age question" was against the question continuing to be asked, it can hardly be said that Malber's continuing the dialog was inherently disruptive, and while some of his comments (particlarly the suggest that Sir Nicholas should be desysopped) displayed a far from exemplary degree of civility, I saw nothing going so far as to warrant a block.

Hi Malber, I feel your age questions for RfA candidates are inappropriate. I urge you to reconsider. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 02:39, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Malber; I would appreciate it if you would hold off on asking about people's ages on RfA until there is a consensus one way or the other. It seems to be contributing to a certain amount of disruption and wasted time. Tom Harrison Talk 14:10, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Malber, it's obvious that you feel strongly about this issue. In light of the fact that this has generated such controversy and strong emotion, I think it's reasonable to request some insight from you on why, in the face of all this, you persist in asking the question and reverting other editors. What aspect of this question is so important to you that you're willing to (apparently) revert war over it? For the record, I'm 30 years old, so if you feel I'm arguing from the position of "this will affect me directly", please adjust that perception appropriately.

Malber, I'm a little annoyed about your posting the same RFA questions to every candidate. I don't know how long others spent on your questions, but it took me a good 40 minutes to write thoughtful answers to them. I wouldn't be annoyed if you seemed more discriminating in asking them, but you ask them of other candidates who are doing well (Ceyockey, Cbrown1023) and frequently don't participate in an RFA beyond asking those questions (like the last five in which you've asked them). If they are helpful for your evaluation of a candidate, then fine, but I'd expect you'd then participate in the RfA by registering a !vote. If they are helpful for other members of the community evaluating candidates, then other members of the community should ask them. This is a volunteer project. If someone asks me questions in RFA, I expect that they are seriously evaluating me and are on the fence about my candidacy. If that person never participates in the RFA again, then my expectation of some kind of evaluation of them is essentially negated. I'm sorry if I seem angry. (I'm not; just annoyed.) I think these are good questions, I just think it's pointless asking them of people that you aren't serious about evaluating. I await your response.--Kchase T 09:04, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Malber,
A little over a year ago you visited the article Hurdy gurdy and put it up for peer review, stating that you thought it had FA potential. The only feedback at the time was fairly negative, but I would like to invite you to look over the current article and provide any feedback as part of a new peer review request. Since you liked the earlier version, I hope that you might take a few minutes to look over the new version.

In the past, you stated that you only add your optional questions when the three standard questions have already been answered.[34] However, I see you've not only added your latest set of questions to an RfA before the accepted standard questions have been answered, you did so to an RfA that was not even accepted. This does not reassure me that you're not trying to make a point. Agent 86 20:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I've restored some of the material you deleted from Criticism of Wikipedia, always with significant changes to meet the objections you noted in the edit summaries.

I sure don't want to get into an edit war, and I've tried to accommodate your well-founded criticisms of certain sections of the article.

Just commenting on your note at Picaroon9288's RFA. I think you need to tighten up the question to get good responses. Given how quick some !voters are to jump on a candidate with both feet at the slightest hint of ideological incompatibility, it's a bit too much to expect them to freely expound upon wiki-philosophy and hypothetical situations, which is what you seem to be aiming for. I certainly wouldn't do it in an RFA, especially these days, and would probably just say "See Wikipedia:Five pillars", which actually does provide a reasonable answer to the question as presently phrased. - BanyanTree 19:02, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
I reverted your redlinking of Encyclopaedia Dramatica, for the reason that the article has been AfD's several times as (it fails WP:WEB miserably), re-created by vandals, and the community has decided to delete-protected that page. I've no issue with redlinks, and encourage them myself, but in this case the community has spoken clearly that an article is inappropriate.
If you click on the above redlink, and follow the links from there, you'll see why.

Hi Jeff. The licence template that you've been using allows this providing attribution is given. —M (talk • contribs) 16:48, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
To add: Wikipedia's goal is to have free content. To facilitate this, it offers the option of multi-licensing under GFDL and creative commons licenses. This is the preferred method of licensing your images for use in the encyclopedia. You've been using the copyright with attribution notice which is a bit deprecated but does allow any use with attribution. I imagine you've been doing this with the idea that you could retain some control over the use of your images. Unfortunately, there is no way to do this as Wikipedia is slowly moving to a policy of only accepting contributed material that is completely free of any copyright restrictions. If you want to continue to contribute (and I hope you do) I think you're going to have to accept the fact that you relinquish control over the use your work once you contribute it to the project. —M (talk • contribs) 16:54, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
What is up with your Cow Tipping edit?—Gaff ταλκ 16:12, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry you were offended. I use the templates because they are fast and efficient - not to cause you or anyone else pain. I thought your addition to the page was improper and I reverted it. It's not at all personal. If you were annoyed or embarrassed by the template then you are certainly free to do as you did -- remove it. JodyB talk 20:20, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey, your sig has a span tag in it that you don't close. You really probably shouldn't do that sort of font-changing stuff in your sig. But at very least you need to make sure it finishes what it starts, or else you end up changing the font for everything that comes after your comment. See Talk:Exploding whale or [36]. - Keith D.

I don't get your questions for me, especially the hidden comment. My answer to me at first would relate to WP:IAR and using common sense, but I'm really not inclined to answer those until I get a little clearer idea of what you want. Thanks!! --Evilclown93(talk) 19:39, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Just FYI, I changed the section heading back to "notable inhabitants". You're right that it sorta sounds like wildlife, but all NH cities and towns have that section heading, and it has the advantage of not being too strict - summer vacationers can be included, or people born in a town but not currently residing there. Thanks for your editing! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 03:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
You removed a usage of Cquote from the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows page and referred to the WP:MOS for more info. I can't find the reference you suggested. Can you explain more fully why Cquote wasn't proper in this case?Alan 17:00, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
I've put the question about criteria for the list to the discussion page of the Manchester article, precisely because of the issues you raise. (Which may not lead to much; I know I rarely check the talk page.) If you want to put Josh Logan back for now, I won't argue. If we put in a fork, which is a good idea, someone will still want to put in two or three of the most notable people, and the whole issue will come up again. (And I'll bet you Adam Sandler will be the first back on!) --Ken Gallager 17:46, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Malber, could you explain why browsers show the title of this page as a Harry Potter 7 spoiler? WjBscribe 16:52, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
I light of the evidence linking you to User:4chanpwr, in particular:
I fully support the block of your account 1 month for disruption. Wikipedia operates on the basis of mutual respect for other members of it community - you have deliberate set out to spoil for many people a recent and popular novel targeting pages you knew many Wikipedians would visit. Your sole purpose appears to have been to upset other members of the community. I find your actions utterly disgraceful. I hope should you return to editing following this block, there will be no repeat of such an incident. WjBscribe 17:09, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
I have extended your block to 2 months in light of your hostile accusations and personal attacks. I suggest you adopt a more conciliatory tone. WjBscribe 17:27, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Last I looked, it was leaking because you forgot to close the span tag. Can you fix this? - Ta bu shi da yu 02:45, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I have reset your block due to your use of the account User:Vodak to evade it. WjBscribe 17:26, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Malber/Archive (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Extension of block is needless punitive persecution by User:WJBscribe employing wikilawering. Block was placed on an individual Will is in a personal dispute with. Original block was to prevent vandalism which was excessive in itself due to the nature of the alleged vandalism. Verification of checkuser is invalid because I edit from behind a corporate proxy. User:Deskana should be recused from this issue due to the personal involvement of this user. Extension of block is punitive based on opposition to an admin candidate that Will nominated. Request that original block period of one month be reinstated.
Decline reason:
Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Malber confirms that you were using a sockpuppet abusively. Block is entirely appropriate. — Yamla 18:04, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the ((unblock)) template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
All this has done has forced my resolve to remove myself from the project. I've already taken the steps to have my image contributions removed from here and commons. —Malber (talk • contribs) 19:24, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Please. They're my pictures, not yours. —Malber (talk • contribs) 19:54, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
User:WJBscribe deleted my userpage at commons. Seriously, why the fuck are you stalking me? —Malber (talk • contribs) 20:30, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Amalogo.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. DarkFalls talk 00:19, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
