FYI, I moved your simple word list page to your userspace because it didn't look like it belonged in mainspace. It's now at User:Etamni/Simple word list. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:18, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
Etamni, if you are working on this article, please put an "under construction" template on it. Otherwise it might get deleted because it's currently an unsimplified copy from enwiki. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:17, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
Austin Powers is a fictional British spy with really bad teeth.Now, there is an actual article in that space. It still needs work, and probably needs to be slimmed down just a bit, but I'm done with it for the moment. Any further editing you want to do is welcome. Ironically, I was never a big fan of the Austin Powers movies, but they sure made a boat-load of money! Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 06:57, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Hey all! My internet went out and I'm not sure why. This will force a (hopefully brief) wikibreak until the issue is resolved. As may be obvious, I'm making this edit from my mobile device and mobile account, but I hate editing this way. Main account e-mail is turned on, and reaches my phone, so if anything urgent comes up, feel free to send e-mail.

Update: Internet fixed. Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 23:30, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
Etamni, if you have an issue with anything on Ipadguy's user pages, please bring it up with an admin. In particular, the issue you mentioned in the RfD you created is not an issue that should be decided by the community, so I closed the RfD. You are welcome to bring it up at WP:AN, but the remedy would be to change or remove the image, not to delete the page. However, please don't change another user's page yourself. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 20:26, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
However, please don't change another user's page yourself, comes off as a bit bitey, as it assumes I would do this. Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 21:00, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
┌─────────────────────────────────┘
I can see how someone would think that RfD would be the right place, but we don't do things the same as enwiki. At RfD, we have community discussion of whether we want to keep something. To me, it isn't the place to discuss something that's interpretation of policy. Either the policy allows it or it doesn't. I'm sorry if my statement was bitey: I had just said that the image could be removed or changed, but wanted to emphasize that, since it was on a user page, it was better for other users not to do that themselves. And, as I said, the way to deal with an inappropriate image is to change or remove it, not to delete the page: that might mean blanking the page, but it shouldn't mean deleting it altogether. Of course, an admin might decide to delete the page because it belongs to an indef'd user, but that is also not a matter for RfD discussion. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:19, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

If this article gets userspaced, I'll help you find references. Clarinetguy097 (talk) 17:32, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the warm welcome and the help with getting my footing! I'll be adding this to the talk of the page in question as well.
The "defunct" site mentioned was theflatearthsociety.net for the "International Alliance of Flat Earth Groups" which is no longer under operation and simply redirects to theflatearthsociety.org . It makes sense to have both the sites, if they are both legitimate, I agree.
Are you certain that the tfes link does not lack notability and these links aren't being placed as COI? I can find no reference to it in the media and the content seems largely duplicated from the other site which lead me to assume that tfes was simply somebody copying over theflatearthsociety and spamming wikipedia for Self Promotion. The site I linked however seems to be referenced from several notable sources such as The Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/global/2010/feb/23/flat-earth-society and Paste Magazine http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/03/a-conversation-with-a-flat-earth-believer.html as well as books like https://books.google.com/books?id=sFgXAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA286&lpg=PA286#v=onepage&q&f=false and http://www.amazon.com/Bogus-Science-People-Believe-Figures/dp/B00BQAJBPI and academic papers such as http://arxiv.org/abs/1305.0393 .
Their library also looks to be significantly larger which leads me to believe they are the original source of the materials on both sites. The site I added looks to be established far earlier as well in 2003. I can also find no instance of the other sites existence outside of their online forum and some reddit posts. https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Flat_Earth_Society&diff=4658129&oldid=4528640 This is the change where it was added, corresponding to the date that tfes claims to be founded. This looks to me to be a clear case of COI as you've mentioned. What are your thoughts? WakingJohn (talk) 16:47, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I edited the page of Romania because it incorrectly lists it as being in Central Europe. You claimed that I was being "biased" when I was not. Romania is geographically in Southeastern or Eastern Europe. Central Europe is traditionally defined as the countries of Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, and sometimes Croatia and Germany. How was I being biased? Every major source that you look up information on Romania lists it as being in Southeastern or Eastern Europe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.119.175.240 (talk) 20:22, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
