It may be "true" but with only a primary source displaying the text of the emails, text that could have been faked, how do we know without a secondary source?--ukexpat (talk) 15:41, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Your actions at User talk:77.96.180.241 seem well-intended but in conflict with WP:BLANKING. As the IP stated, you should read that. Toddst1 (talk) 16:18, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Good job clearing out a bunch of semi-protected edit requests - thanks! Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:06, 8 December 2012 (UTC) |
Hello Vacation9, yes I think you did make a mistake in undoing my edit to Mike Tyson's page by removing the reference to his rape conviction in the introduction. I would argue that he is at least as well known, if not more well known as a rapist in some countries than as a boxer. Brain696 (talk) 06:26, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi. My question refers to this page: Stevie_Ryan. This person is an actress and comedienne who has appeared in her own TV show that ran on the VH1 television network for one season and has been renewed for a second season. Last May (2012), the page was tagged with the "BLP Sources" and "Primary Sources" tags. Last month (November 2012) I attempted to address the concerns expressed in these tags by referencing three articles on the actress, a 2006 long-form article from The New Yorker, a 2011 brief article posted on Deadline Hollywood, and a 2012 brief article posted on TV by the Numbers. I didn't feel confident in removing the tags myself though. Could you please review and determine whether what I have added to this page is sufficient to justify the removal of those tags? Thank you! - EricTN (talk) 09:32, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for posting that comment on my page !! MadGuy7023 (talk) 17:11, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Hey all :).
I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).
You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org and I'll set you up with an account :).
If you'd like to chat with us about the research, or want live tutoring on the software, there will be an office hours session on Monday 17 December at 23:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office connect. Hope to see some of you there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:54, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Hey Vacation9, why did you undo my edits to Speyburn-Glenlivet distillery? 62.194.104.217 (talk) 21:58, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, might I need anything, I'll drop by. Irony has it my account actually has the mop bit set as well. As such that makes you more of an ambassador of Wikipedia than one really should be. Well meaning newbies that are either to young to get it, or too stupid, suffering from severe cases of Dunning-Kruger effect, ill meaning civil POV pushers, lynch mobs at ANI. Being polite to all of them. I think I'll just stay signed out. I'm happy like this, and I'm doing some good ;). 62.194.104.217 (talk) 19:18, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

I consider it a good idea. Generally, I don't pay attention to that template because of the same (that sometimes it is updated and other's not), but having an accurate report of vandalism is not a bad idea.

Hello, I'm Vacation9. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Osiris because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Vacationnine 19:44, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
I DO think you made a mistake. If I had intended vandalism, I would not have cut and pasted my deleted section into the talk section nor signed it. This article on Osiris contains a lengthy off-topic section pushing an anti-Christian conspiracy theory based on un-sourced misinformation such as can be found in pop propaganda videos such as the Zeitgeist video.
The author of the article seems to have exploited wikipedia to promote an intolerant agenda, and then, when I corrected that, by deleting the irrelevant and offensive propaganda, my correction was reverted to restore the inappropriate content.
I have been reluctant to join the growing boycott of wikipedia, perhaps naively. The criticism of wikipedia is based on the perception that it is increasingly becoming hijacked by POV violators who are defended and supported by a new wiki establishment that has installed itself to protect the hijackers and their politicized agenda. I'm not suggesting that you are one of these people, but if my edit is not restored, I will no longer consider wikipedia to be a serious project, will delete my bookmark to it, and join the chorus of people who dismiss wikipedia as an unreliable hodge-podge of misinformation, political bias, and censorship.
Sorry if I sound hostile, but it is unacceptable for my constructive contribution to be reverted.77Mike77 (talk) 20:09, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Yes I did. I explained the edit (deletion) on the talk page. No hard feelings. Just fed up with this. 77Mike77 (talk) 00:44, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
I guess I didn't go about it the prescribed way. I don't have time to learn all the details, protocols, and acronyms, at the moment. I'll come back to it at some point. Thanks for being helpful (and polite).77Mike77 (talk) 01:34, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
Since we have a working XML parsing mechanism, should we attempt to implement that in the main code? Or in another Git branch? It's a Fox! (Talk to me?) 15:45, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi, it is because the user has alreasy been blocked today for this behavour and is back with a new IP doing the same things. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Special:Contributions.2F92.40.254.14.2C_Special:Contributions.2F86.42.8.86:_Edit_warring.3F
Please can you sort this out. this person is removing data and has been warned several times, blocked and has had a few other members undo their actions, yet they continue and post antagonistic comments in the "reason for edit" box.

All of my edits are factually correct and whenever I give my side of the story, my dialogue is wiped (deleted) but don't worry. I print off all the threats and all the dialogue I write that is wiped.
The smiley face is a dead giveaway as to who is in the wrong here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.151.81.197 (talk) 19:38, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
You're welcome! Thank you for taking the time to write that small message; it means a lot to me, especially because I'm a beginner!
