Looks like one of the trolls from shwi has discovered Wikipedia. References to Freck, BernardZ, and Phil McGregor are in fact vandalism. I've repaired the article for now, but judging from the page history we'll have to stay on our toes. Johnny Pez 11:16, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I wanted to upload Image:HistMac.gif to Commons but I noticed it already has been uploaded there, and that you removed the {{NowCommonsThis}} template from the local copy, citing "errors". What are the errors that prevent the image from being deleted here? If it's just lack of history attribution, I will be dumping the local file history on commons shortly so there should be no problems there. Regards, Kimchi.sg 01:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds like a cache problem to me. Perhaps I should upload the current enwiki version to Commons? Kimchi.sg 02:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there. You must be one of those "Admin" characters of wikipedia. I've been on wikipedia for a few months now, so I've learned many things about wikipedia, everything i could do, i've made hundreds of contributions. So i thought i'd sign up. So i did. Now I would just like to ask if my user page can be similar to a "special page". So that no one can edit it. I'd like my discussion page to stay the same, but my userpage to be permenant please. Get back to me when you can please. -Spaceboy December 30, 2006 17:07 (EST)
TY for your message, do u mind if I delete it?
Ty again, you can get rid of this whole topic if u want too.
I hope you don't mind, but I moved this page again, adding a parenthetical disambiguator. I feel that, given the large size of the Soviet and Chinese armies (particularly the Red Army in WWII) it is probable that there are other units with the same number, and disambiguation is probably a good idea. Let me know if you disagree. Carom 01:43, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Surena.
Back in 2005, it seems you created Azarbaijan with a copy-and-paste from the Columbia Encyclopedia. I've managed to fix this - we've pulled the copyrighted material out of Azerbaijan (Iran) - and you were new at the time, honest mistake, all is forgiven... but I'm a little worried there might have been others done at the same time. Can you remember if you did any other articles by copying material from elsewhere back then? It'd be good if we could get any other copyright problems like this seen to, as the longer they hang around in articles the more time-consuming it is for us to deal with when we find them.

Hi, I noticed that you removed several revisions of the Isabella Soprano article, which I have no problem with, but not all the useful information has been restored. Sometime ago I added a complete infobox with all her information, and the filmography of that revision wasn't copied from imdb either (I think - not sure about this). Could you please restore the latest revision with all the information, or at least copy the infobox to the article? Thanks, Jayden54 17:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shimgray, I'm Eng Aun, and currently I'm working on an article, Chung Ling High School. I have heavily edited the article, and the 'preliminary' version was put on the talk page of the article. I'm currently concerned over the following:
In view of these concerns, I wonder if you could advise on what should I do to improve the article. I would be grateful if you could reply by posting at the article's talk page or mine. Thanks again!

I'm not entirely sure that the images were appropriate for the article, but i would have preferred if you had deleted them through process. Being as there are no copyright issues, and the images clearly are descriptive of the event in question, I think there should be more consensus before deleting them. Even if they aren't re-inserted in the article, would you please undelete them and nominate them to be deleted through the WP:IFD process. Savidan 00:02, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, it was my bad reverting it and I didn't view all of the user's additions to the article. I had only seen the recent one which seemed like he just removed a full section (I missed the disputed tags). I am using a script but TBH, I've had 2 vandalism warnings that weren't in place out of over 100 warnings - it doesn't seem like that bad a ratio to me. As for the severity of the tag, I stand by using a level 3 tag considering the history of the IP (even if not recent) and the fact that it says at the top of the page - "This IP has been repeatedly blocked from editing Wikipedia in response to abuse of editing privileges. Further abuse from this IP may result in an immediate block without further warning." If this had been vandalism I feel the temp3 tag was the one in order. Again, I see now that it was my bad but as I said 2 wrongful vandalism warnings isn't a bad ratio out of over 100. Yonatanh 09:08, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't mind at all..(there a lot of redirects, though). Sorry about this, this is the first objection I've seen for a British regiment (nearly all of them omit "The"). I think I'm going to give up on this quixotic quest for standardization. :) - RJASE1 19:25, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Cbrown1023 talk 02:18, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The original article was deleted several hours ago by you, with a deletion log edit summary of (temp delete to sort out personal information, etc). I can't see a sign of what that could be anywhere, and its been several hours since this was done. An explanation would be helpful. --Calton | Talk 05:58, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Andrew. You created the article Nina Snaith. However, I'm worried that the article does not establish notability, e.g., as defined in Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Perhaps you could clarify this in the article, or keep this in mind for the next articles you create? Cheers, Jitse Niesen (talk) 10:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Her work is indeed in a hot area and the connections with the Riemann hypothesis also makes it interesting to laymen. She seems to be doing very well, clearly better than average, though it's hard for me to tell since I'm not familiar with the field. However, I am supposed to know some maths, so if you need some assistance massaging the material from your books into a suitable form, let me know.

A tag has been placed on 97th Regiment of Foot, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
{{hangon}}
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Kamope · talk · contributions 12:35, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
David Gerard told me to talk to you (if that doesn't indicate something bad's going to happen, nothing should :P) David suggested that the Signpost cover OTRS issues in some sort of semi-regular format. I'd be interested in something like this, with the necessary caveat that we need to ensure that while showing the issues that come up on OTRS, that we don't inadvertently reveal targets for vandals to libel. Wanna brainstorm this with me? I'm not positive on how such a report should be handled, but I agree with David that something like this might be useful, and he said you could help.

I notice you've done a great job expanding the T&CPA article. I know an editor who's interested in writing an article about the demolition of country houses in the UK during the 20th century - given that 'listing' was established in 1947, do you know any of the debate that surrounded it's inclusion in the act? Was it introduced as a reaction to frequent demolitions of country houses, or more to preserve bomb damaged historic buildings from just being pulled down as the most economic option? --Joopercoopers 12:49, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
