Hi Victorius III, Welcome to Wikipedia. Would it be OK to ask you to explain why you consider my correction/clean-up edit with AWB to be 'vandalism'? (as you described it in your edit summary here when you reverted it) Victorious, again you have reverted my edit, describing it as 'vandalism', clearly it is not, would you mind explaining why you think so?
Done the same thing again on the Genetic History of Europe page I cannot revert because of the three revert rule. Victorius III is possibly a sock.PB666 yap 01:28, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Marek, I might have a couple of queries focused on styling-formatting at some stage as I have the impression these issues sometimes follow 'rules' based more on tradition or convention beeing probably a 'no-two-situations-are-identical' issues. On the other hand I found that on general questions Wikipedia is very well documented with plenty of help pages & examples. It also gives a good overview on HTML language coding which becomes more and more interesting every day now nearly more than contributing to articles...

Hello Marek69,
I was wondering if you could help me. I have tried adding a person to the notable residents section of the article entitled "Bat Yam." Bat Yam is a city within the area in Israel referred to as "Gush Dan" and is a town adjacent to Tel Aviv. My addition to the notable residents has been removed several times by someone very adament, who also mentioned something about "vandalism" in regard to my addition. While I respect that no one should put up false information on any article, I can't help but feel that this person seems to think he "owns" the article and only he is entitled to make changes.
I added someone named "David Vildof" to the notables list. The Vildorf Family has long been residents of Bat Yam, back when there were no buildinga, but tents... there has been a book printed about them and David Vildorf is a philanthropist and people know this almost 80-year-old man in the community. He is a philanthropist, but not the kind who you see at parties or in the newspapers, but a man who does good and prefers to fly under the radar if you will. He is a Zionist, a man who has fought in all the wars of the country except the last two, and continues to volunteer his time to rightous causes.
I was surprised that this YHockey person was so possesive about the article. I invite you to read our exchanges and look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks, AnnAvildorf (talk) 06:14, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi Markek69,
I sent you a note last week regarding the article titled "Bat Yam." I know you are probobly busy, or maybe I sent it to the wrong place, or the wrong way, being that I am new. I will not repeat what I said so as not to bother you. If you did not receive the message/question, I will be happy to resend. Thanks, AvildorfAvildorf (talk) 05:14, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Marek,
Thanks so much for your involvement with the article. I am new to Wikipedia and appreciate any help you can offer. As the house editor for AFI, my wish is to have the most up-to-date information posted. Now that I've read the style guide I can appreciate that the article did not entirely conform--and was still missing links. I would welcome your advice on ways to make the story conform more to wiki standards. Since I'm new, I wanted to post the correct, factual information and then add the links, etc that are still missing.
I'm curious to hear why it was removed? And how you think it could be fixed.

An anonymous user, from an IP address close to the one you reverted recently, has again done a mass edit of the article. Although some of the changes are OK, some are bad, i.e., they remove relevant info. How should we respond? I would like to fix a couple of areas where I am more familiar with the info, having put it in originally, but don't want to do anything that would impede a mass rollback if that is the best response.

Please be more careful with your use of AWB. See WP:AWB#Rules of use: "Check every edit before you save it. Make sure you understand the text and have NOT changed the meaning." Your edit here changed "Montaner" into "Mountainer". That is incorrect and has been reverted. If you don't understand the language used in an article (Catalan in this case), please think carefully before using AWB for making changes. Misuse of AWB can lead to withdrawal of your permission to use it. Thanks. - 85.94.186.91 (talk) 00:14, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
I see you are doing hundreds of edits "fixing" links to redirects that are not broken, e.g. here. This is positively unhelpful and against the guideline WP:NOTBROKEN. Please stop and have a think about your editing pattern. You are doing a lot of minor "janitorial" edits using tools such as AWB, TW, WikiCleaner, etc. Such edits can be done by bots if the edits are really necessary. Why not try spending time on more productive edits such as writing new articles or expanding existing ones? That will get you noticed in a good way! - 85.94.186.91 (talk) 00:41, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your changes to HTML formatting on Freddy and the Dragon, here [1]. Double thanks if you can cite the Wiki references explaining the guidelines. I remember reading ages ago that image filenames were not to have concatinated_underscores_in_them. But I can't remember why (because they can't be easily searched?) I'm also not sure about use of HTML vs. Wiki conventions. (E.g., <i>, <b> vs. '', '''. What I do know is that it's easier to make a mistake with the Wiki convention, and harder to notice and fix other people's mistakes. So again, if you've got a nice reference, that would be handy.

Thanks for splitting more off of this article -- I was going to do some more, but it was tedious work, what with the named references getting separated from each other.

Hi-- I'm curious; what earthly reason did you have for truncating my entry regarding Dacian numismatics on the Dacia page, Occupations section? I've returned it to the previous version, which is both more accurate and more informative. Phida50 (talk) 20:42, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
Not sure how to do a Diff, and I'm too lazy to figure it out. Here is my wording (which I've now restored), in the Dacia page, Occupations section:
The first coins produced by the Geto-Dacians were imitations of silver coins of the Macedonian kings Philip II and Alexander III (the Great). Early in the 1st century BC, the Dacians replaced these with silver denarii of the Roman Republic, both official coins of Rome exported to Dacia and locally made imitations of them.
Here is the edited version:
The first coins produced by the Geto-Dacians were imitations of silver coins of the Macedonian kings Philip II and Alexander III (the Great). Early in the 1st century BC, the Dacians replaced these with imitations of the silver denarii of the Roman Republic.
It seemed you were responsible for the change, but perhaps I misread the edit history.

`Hello thanks for the welcome. I happen to be one of the 96% of the planet's population who think everyone should be using the metric system, so when I see it missing in Wikipedia articles I like to include the metric units. I have seen the convert format, however some of these measurements are Nominal (the enemy was 50 yds away) is an estimation and so it would also be 50 meters. If it's an exact measurement, a mountain elevation for example I agree the convert formula would be appropriate. I'm still getting used to some of the editing conventions. I do a lot of traveling, enjoy reading about places I go, when I see an omission or error like to correct the information. I agree I could use some help occasionally, I tried entering a reference one time and it failed, another time it worked, I still have some things to learn. ~~metricmike~~—Preceding unsigned comment added by Metricmike (talk • contribs) 04:27, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Marek,
In your message to me on the 2 nd of Sep., you voluntered to help me. Thanks for the offer. I have a rather technical question. I am trying to write a new article. Well, I am not new in creating articles. (Some in en, but many in tr) But this time I have a problem in reaching the edit page. Even though the article I plan to create doesn’t exist, the name of the article has already been directed to an existing article which is a rather generalization of the subject. So whenever I search for my planned article, I am directed to another page instead of the edit page. Is there any way for me to reach the edit page of my planned article. ?

I've collected data of medium and extreme monthly temperatures and rainfalls from the web-site, while I took average daily fluctuation of the temperatures by months from the book and then I adjusted highest and lowest temperatures to fit medium temperatures. I am aware this is not the scientific way, however, since temperatures are rounded to degrees Celsius, there cannot be any misrepresentation larger that 1 degree Celsius. I believe that this is satisfactory for Wikipedia.
I am preparing to enter the number of rainy days and snowy days by months in the same unscientific, but generally reliable, way.

Hello Marek, and thank you very much for your advice and help. So, does that mean that if I create an account and still hyperlink the sources that I give, my information will not be deleted and regarded as 'vandalism'. If so, it would be fantastic and I could just edit all the articles that I had updated which were deleted. The wikipedia pages telling you how to edit an article are very complicated, so could you just give me a brief. If so, I would be very greatful. I am just still a bit worried that the users who said my work was 'disruptive' will write to me again and I will be banned from editing, something I wish does not happen. Bearing in mind that I am so, so busy and I have some very important events coming up, please could you improve the quality of articles, i.e. Rome, Economy of Italy and Milan, by adding some more colourful information. Please include
That Milan is an Alpha city with the world's 26th highest GDP in the world, the world fashion capital and Europe's 4th highest metropolitan area GDP (You can go on, List of ost expensive cities for expatriate employees, Fashion capital, Global city)
That Rome is an Alpha- city, has a GDP of $115 billion, is a worlwide center for politics, fashion, culture and art.
That Naples is the world's 91st richest city by purchasing power
And the positive thngs of the Economy of Italy

Sorry that I've had to leave you a 'message on the top' again, but I just wanted to apologise for the very poor grammar on my previous message.

Greece has the EU's 3rd lowest GDP and is going through a terrible recession. The article has a very positive POV and I do not see why an article like Economy of Italy is all negative and Economy of Greece is all positive (Greece is going through a far worse recession and is 81st on the Index for Economic freedom, a terrible rank for a developed European nation). Please update it and to get those facts go to the:

Moving the text/reference for the traveling museum exhibit to the main article page makes sense. But, I wonder if that main page article might be renamed ... something that doesn't address just Beatification and Canonisation, something like Posthumous Recognition and Cause for Canonisation?

I hope I would be pardoned for being blunt but I can not understand what i s going on? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Haroonchoudhry (talk • contribs) 06:33, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello! It would be great if you could just give me a text translation for the labels on this image: File:Formowanie MAC.svg
They are complex terms though, so please don't worry if you can't help!
Thanks in advance, Captain n00dle T/C 11:29, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
I drafted my first article after some weeks editing pages.
Have a look at User:Lidos/Uxbridge Lido. It's got a long way to go yet, citations to be looked up and added, etc.
btw I added the copyright notice, but I have the copyright owner's permission so maybe I can take it away.--Lidos (talk) 15:15, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi Marek and thank you! I was just wondering whether when you start editing wikipedia with an account if your information does not get deleted. By the way, me (Theologiae) is the same user as my IP. Ciao and please reply! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theologiae (talk • contribs) 13:33, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Marek, I need help! I've created an article and I have a huge problem with it. Can you please delete Economy of milan for me!
I am theologiae, by the way--Theologiae (talk) 14:07, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
thanks for the welcome and the cookies they were tasty

I need desperate help. User 93.45.133.14 has gotten rid of nearly all my edits. Please resolve this. I've written to the person, but he/she seems to have not taken any notice whatsoever. Please put back all my edits. I know your're busy with work, but if you have time contact 93.45.133.14 and resolve the situation. I need desperate help--Theologiae (talk) 13:32, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi Marek. I was wondering, has 93.45.133.14 changed his/her IP number, as I wrote him/her a message, and he/she has not answered me back? Please reply. Anyway, ciao!--Theologiae (talk) 17:40, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
Hey, Theologiae, peoples IP addresses change all the time (for most people anyway) and if they are not a registered user don't be surprised if they don't log on for long periods of time. So sorry, but your not likely to get one! Regards, Captain n00dle T/C 19:51, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello Marek, and thanks for your message, but, you were able to recognize my dynamic IP address. Can't you find his/hers if you have time? If you can't, what I'll do is tell you my sandbox on Economy of Italy (with him/her, we were discussing the changes on the references I needed to give for my edit. As he/she was the one who deleted my edits, I wanted to know how to improve it). When you think the sandbox is good enough to update the mainspace article, please tell me. Also, how do you transfer your sandbox to the mainspace article? Anyway, kind regards and please reply!--Theologiae (talk) 20:33, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
Ok Marek. When you have time, just tell me if you think the article is good enough for mainspace and I'll put it there. Does that protect it from reverting? Anyway, reply when you have time, and thank you still for your help. By the way, who is Captain n00dle?--Theologiae (talk) 06:01, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Yes Marek, I get your point. Thank you. However, just one thing. You said that there is nothing possible to do about totally protecting an article, and I get your point, but, if 93.45.133.14 (with a different IP) deletes my work, can you please ask him/her why? Is a person, also, just allowed to simply revert pages if there is not any vandalism on them? Anyway, reply soon please, and thank you for being so helpful. Kind regards--Theologiae (talk) 19:04, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi Marek, just briefly, whilst you're on the computer can you please look at my sandbox and tell me if it's good enough or if it needs improving? Also, can I ask, at what time during work days do you start to look at your messages, as an average. Anyway, please reply, and thank you!--Theologiae (talk) 19:22, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Marek, sorry to disturb you again, but can you, if you have time (of course), answer me within 20 mins? If you don't, I'll assume that you're busy.--Theologiae (talk) 20:13, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
By the way, Marek, I've updated the mainspace article on Economy of Italy. I think the refs are valid enough. Check it when you want.--Theologiae (talk) 20:45, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
For the speedy vandalism revert on my talkpage. Much appreciated! KillerChihuahua?!?Advice 23:17, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Marek, I'm the anon that Theologiae talked about. Lest you think I'm a vandal, I'm notifying you of this message I left on the talk page of Economy of Italy to explain what was wrong with his revision and why I partly reverted it. I hope this helps.--93.45.107.206 (talk) 07:37, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Marek, I've worked so hard on these edits. I will not let an anon user just revert them for no sufficient reason. He/she obviously does not want to resolve things, as every change I make is not alright. I've left him/her a message on my talk page, however if he/she does not reply, I will revert Economy of Italy. I so hoped that I could enjoy wiki, yet this could be the last that I will put up with, as I have receieved enough reverts and negative messages during my stay. If he/she does not reply and still reverts my edits, please semi-protect economy of Italy, as this is vandalism. I am not accusing him/her of vandalism, yet this is the last time I going to deal with this beaurocracy for every single edit (it looks that there is barely an edit I've made without him/her reverting it). Still, I think you've been so helpful and thank you. Please sort this out and warn him/her.

Ciao--Theologiae (talk) 16:10, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Yes, ok Marek, but I've left him/her a message, and this has not changed matters. Just write to someone who could help me and say:
Hello -. I am coming to you for a major problem with IP address 93.45.107.206. Since you are an economist, this matter is related to you. The article Economy of Italy has an overy-negative POV, and I updated the article with relevant and verifiable information. To see how it would be, go on this link. As you'll see by the references, they are all valid and reliable. However, user 93.45.107.206 seems to be constantly reverting my work every time I update it. He/she explains him/herself, however, by the time he/she has done so, his/her IP address changes, and I cannot contact him/her. So, when I updated the article, he/she infallibly reverts it, always finding an excuse. As you are an economist, please tell me your views on this and help me resolve this problem. Ciao.--Theologiae (talk) 16:57, 14 October 2009 (UTC) Ok. Ciao
Also, is it true you speak Italian. Well, 'ciao, come stai?'.--Theologiae (talk) 17:02, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Ok Marek. I'm sorry of my impatience, it's just that I was more or less slapped in the face. Anyway, you've been the best, and I'll advise any new wiki user to ask help from you. Thank you for having been so supportive and a great helper. Reply when you've got an answer, ok--Theologiae (talk) 17:55, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi Marek, thanks for the welcome message! Doruk Sart (talk) 20:22, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello and thanks I guess?
I have no idea if I'm doing this correctly.
But thanks for the belated welcome. ^__^
220.233.160.132 (talk) 05:04, 15 October 2009 (UTC).
Marek, I've seen the note you have sent on the Economy of Italy's talk page. What will a person with knowledge on the subject do about it? Also, can you please also contact 93.45.107.206, telling him/her to not just delete my work? It seems that he/she just has a habit of reverting anything that he/she is not pleased with, instead of improving the page. For example, on the Turin article, he/she just reverted my work because I had only 1 wikipedia reference. He/she could have just contacted me to solve the problem or just fixed it him/herself. I am not blaming 93.45.107.206 of vandalism or edit warring, yet, just tell him/her to stop doing that, as it is a lot of hard work just thrown down the drain for petty reasons. I will also try to replace my wiki references with non-wiki ones, however just tell 93.45.107.206 that reverting work is not the correct way to solve a problem.

Kind regards.--Theologiae (talk) 16:10, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
No they have not been reverted, yet, I am worried at every edit I make, because it seems that 93... intercepts them, and just finds a petty excuse to revert them. When I was recognised as an IP number, all my accusations of vandalism came from this user with 93 in the front, who, I predict, is the same one that we are discussing about. He/she was the one who reverted all my edits, sent me accusations of vandalism and nearly blocked me from editing. I do not know what article is safe from his/her revertion. I see, all wikipedia edits are not perfect, yet, you cannot just revert one's edits just because they do not please oneself. I am busy too, yet, this week I'm free, so I can contact or be contacted much more frequently.
By the way, are you Polish, as Marek is a Polish name and you're level 4 in that language?

Ok Marek. Don't think I'm not enjoying wiki. I love editing it, I just do not appreciate people who revert. Anyway, thanks for the help, and contact me when you get anymore news on Economy of Italy. For now, I'll just concentrate on other articles that I'm interested in.
Ciao, e ci sentiamo!
Oh, and what does -) mean?

Hi Marek69, thanks for the message. I'm sure I'll be asking for help very soon! LOL

Hello Marek. I am just telling you that an editor has requested to help solve the revert/re-revert dispute on Economy of Italy (by the way, he has written on the talk page). What should I do now?
Kind regards and happy wiki-ing
--Theologiae (talk) 09:19, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
Many thanks for wanting to help me. You gave me among others things several links, wich I now have red. At one place I found a strange (?) example. (that is "unknown to my knowligde so far") at one of theese sites. The following confuses me, since it's an example of "accepted" english.
Oranges are an acid fruit, bananas are alkaline, and pears are close to neutral; these distinctions are rarely discussed
It's the first part I find a bit strange - "Oranges" are many (pluralis), but "fruit" is just one (singularis). Therefore (to me who don't have english as primary language) it seems to me that the correct wuld be eighter "Oranges are acid fruits..." or "An orange is an acid fruit..." - even thow the centence continues with other examples of fruits.

If possible, could You explain this.
A while ago, I had a Wikipedia account that i used mostly for vandalism. It may or may not have been banned, I don't remember. This time around, i hope to contribute to Wikipedia in a good way. Am I allowed? Dizzizz (talk) 00:21, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Marek, quick! User 216.101.114.13 has vandalised the Florence, article, writing "dylanland" as its nickname and other things. Revert this! --Theologiae (talk) 14:59, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Nice to meet you, Marek69. I'm glad for your message! I always edit articles in ja.wikipedia, but sometimes refer in en.wikipedia. Though all I can do is correcting TYPO in the article, I hope to see more of you! --Ignore226 (talk) 19:20, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
I was trying to emphasize the aboriginal nature of the Illyrians, which is sometimes undermined by various political ideologies, but perhaps I did not communicate enough neutrality.
In the past, I have been guilty of some vandalism (this was a while back). I don't know if you can access and see my IP's previous edits, but let's just say I wrote my share of irresponsible things on Wikipedia. Anyway, I've reformed myself since then, and I'm sorry for those silly actions, and I'm glad you folks hold everyone accountable. That's important.
Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.201.167.158 (talk) 20:41, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi! I noticed that you have Dazzle! installed in your monobook.js page... I'd like to try to keep track of who has it installed, so I was wondering if I could add your name to Wikipedia:Dazzle!#Users... if you'd rather not be listed, I'm OK with that to. I just thought I'd ask. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 02:50, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Please read discussion page before making accusations, my intent is to improve the quality of the article. If you disagree with my edits justify yourself. Thanks Methusedalot (talk) 04:02, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
While edit summaries are good practice they are not required. I understand you are trying to prevent vandalism, but you should go to the page you are protecting and actually read it and the discussion page before threatening other good faith editors with accusations of vandalism. I respect your intention to improve and maintain Wikipedia now please return the favour. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Methusedalot (talk • contribs) 04:19, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
