Copyright Issue

The article at "Moorsholm" is a blatant copy word for word of the home page at www.moorsholm.com of which I am the owner and clearly violates copyright. The first entry was posted anonymously on 14th August 2007.I want all the articles using this text to be removed immediately. Northtoft (talk) 08:12, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your contribution. Actuallly I was going to remove the "warning" to Damiens.fr. But honestly there is a real problem with this guy. He seems to know about how to manipulate Wikipedia and creates a lot a vandalism activity with the only objective of having articles related to skiing in Lebanon deleted. I am trying to figure out the reason. I did not check his activity, I only checked pages I worked on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nabuchodonozor (talk • contribs) 22:10, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

LEBANON

Thank you for answering. Actually we are several people trying to write articles about ski in Lebanon. We all have the same problem with Damiens.rf It looks to be good faith but there is something weired. How come he is the only one opposed to those articles and he seems to really how to do this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nabuchodonozor (talk • contribs) 22:45, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

It often happens on Wikipedia — a user who finds problems with a page will often look at linked pages, and other pages created or contributed to by the same users, to look for similar problems. --Snigbrook ^(talk) 23:08, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

The delete tag has now been removed by another user, you can remove speedy deletion tags unless they are on articles you created (unlike articles for deletion notices which should stay). --Snigbrook ^(talk) 16:16, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Sock puppetry

I was trying to defend some of the ugly edits made by guys on related article. Due to time limitations i was unable to read the rules of sock puppetry and had to multiple re-edits. After going through rules i feel very happy that i can make my complaints against vandalism directly to the wiki instead indulging in war on re-edits. Thanks for making me realize this.

copy editor needed for Kirkcaldy article

i'm wondering if you have any time to look over the Kirkcaldy article to do some copy editing work. it would be much appreciated - thanks

p.s. i've decided when i saw you removed the deletion tag to the Fife Ice Arena that it was a very silly move on my part. when i was thinking about this i was wanting to relocate the info into the proposed Gallatown article - which i still intend to do in the future. since i live in the town i can easily get a picture of the place (i like to take my own pictures so i have full control over their use although i'm always happy for anyone else to use them as long as they respect my work) but info will be hard to find but i do have some info in three of my books Kilnburn (talk) 15:39, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

About "A Little Bit Longer (song)"

Hello. I intentionally edited the page for "A Little Bit Longer (Song)" and I got your message telling me that I should use the edit summary when editing. Just to clear things up, I did use the edit summary. I wrote "Sorry. I had to." Maybe it didn't come up.

Sea change

I probably don't need to tell you how many edits in the first 24 hours after a Dab cleanup are by people who can't believe i would have deleted their favorite sense of the title in question. So you probably can imagine how refreshing it is when someone is right as you were when you summarized

SSP

It is not necessary for you to reprimand me because you do not agree that the evidence of an SSP is overwhelmingly obvious. I resent the implication that the case is frivolous and nothing more than a weak attempt to block someone. If you believe there is a sock then block it otherwise leave it alone, either way I do not need to hear from you. You and Jaysweet both seem to think that there is probably some sock activity there. Jay's first impression was that 'it was hard to swallow'. I agree, it does look ridiculous. Do you have any idea how hard it is to try and convince someone that there was a sock created to frame you, and I have to use diffs to do it? It is not as easy as you might think. Can you imagine how it felt when I saw that someone was willing to go to those lenghts to try and get me blocked? It was a disturbing experience. All I am trying to do is contribute and all I get is reverted recklessly. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47,48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55,56, 57. These are by Baseball Card Guy. A number of these show that he has reverted back to incorrect information or removed valid info. This is not proper editing. He is just targeting me. Sorry for all the diffs but the truth is that there are plenty more that show items that are not discussed or are not verifiable. How many diffs from talk pages are you going to need to prove that I have tried to get him to address relevant issues regarding notability, verifiability, and image policies, etc.? Haven't you asked him to do this as well? I wonder what kind of person has the time to waste my time and monitor me constantly. Anyway I have asked that the case be reopened because I wasn't joking when I said 'further disruption will result in a disciplinary report and any sock evidence will be posted'.

A FORMAL APOLOGY IS DESERVED

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26365828/

Barack Obama introduced Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware Saturday as a man “ready to step in and be president,” and the newly minted running mate quickly turned his campaign debut into a slashing attack on eight years of Republicans seeking four more years in the White House.

I believe that I have been stating this as fact since August 21,2008, and yet I was ridiculed by Wikipedia administrators, and even received a warning from Snigbrook. I deserve an apology, and the warning should be removed from my record ASAP.

When the hell are you going to deal with Libro0? Baseball Card Guy (talk) 22:17, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I have had no real problems with Libro0, you should try to discuss the articles instead (on the article talk pages) as this is a dispute about content, and there is no evidence of violation of Wikipedia's policy or guidelines by the user. --Snigbrook ^(talk) 01:20, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Baseball Card Guy and Libro0

As someone who has had problems with Libro0 after having him accuse me of being Baseball Card Guy's sockpuppet after trying to get the two of them to stop their schoolyard bickering, I have been watching the two. Their recent exchanges at Talk:1950s Topps and Talk:1960s Topps show that they both seem to have some ownership issues and the two of them can't seem to have a any sort of proper discussion. My attempts to contact both of them in the past were rebuffed in the case of Baseball Card Guy and resulted in attacks from Libro0 including two unproven sockpuppet allegations, with me keeping an eye on what he is doing to nip any further false allegations in the bud. This ultimatum/thinly veiled sockpuppet allegation [1] [2] that Libro0 is a prime example of the bad faith on his part. On the other hand Baseball Card Guy is trying to bait Libro0 [3] with a trap [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] using Admiral Ackbar as the edit summary for all those.

I have held off doing any editing of the baseball card articles because of the antics of these two. I have wasted enough time energy and effort here dealing with the petty bickering between these two and have had enough of it. Something needs to be done with both of them before there is any further escalation. How many others have they scared off into editing not wanting to get caught up in their little war?

Please do something! Your Radio Enemy (talk) 15:13, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

BjornSocialist Republic

Hi. Most of the comments in that nomination for deletion were not good arguments, such as "hoax", and "it is just a rock". I had nominated the page itself for deletion because the redirect is misleading and it would be better just to leave the page blank and the link red. BjornSocialist is notable, it has quite a few references, so if it can't have its own article, it definitely belongs on the list. Onecanadasquarebishopsgate 21:31, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't those extra revisions be removed? Thanks. ~ Troy (talk) 20:06, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't know, it's probably not worth doing, as to remove edits the page has to be deleted then restored, and the page has a long history (almost 2,000 edits, not sure if that is enough to cause any problems). Although the automatic edit summaries for the vandalism are offensive, and similar disruptive summaries have been removed from articles before. I've never seen duplicate reverts like that, how did it happen? --Snigbrook ^(talk) 20:14, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I guess that would be a waste of time to delete the page and restore it. I guess the extra reverts was just me furiously trying to beat those bots! (Although that still shouldn't have happened in the first place; must have been the short time lag.) ...we should probably leave it at that :) ~ Troy (talk) 23:08, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

It's happening again. This time on Bunk bed. Why would this be going on with me specifically? ~ Troy (talk) 01:12, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't know what could be causing it; what are you using for your reverts? --Snigbrook ^(talk) 01:35, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Both Lupins anti-vandal tool and regular rollback. Both seem to be doing that and it must be some sort of unluckiness or internal server error. I think I've already tried what I could: I went over all the browser cache bypasses, playing around with my js apps, and testing edits on the sandboxes. I guess I should contact village pump soon. Thanks for the advice, though :-) Regards, ~ Troy (talk) 01:44, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Ray Parker, Jr. page

First, thank you for your edits. I take it that you are a common user who is familiar with this. I am a new user whose sources of updated information came from interviews shared with the public by Ray Parker, Jr. His original page sadly lacked updates as any musician should receive when new information becomes public so in gathering information about him and attempting to stay within Wikipedia guidelines, I have sources that I placed in however, there are still the warnings. Would you be kind enough to help me do what needs to be done in order for the page not to be deleted and it can stay 'verifiable'? Thank you

WP:3RR

Please be careful about multiple reverts. It may be best to get other editors involved or report to WP:AN/I or WP:AIV. Ty 23:30, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

• The edits I reverted were obviously not constructive (and are a type of vandalism), and were not a content dispute. They were also by an obvious sockpuppet of an indef blocked user, and these are usually treated the same as banned users i.e. 3RR does not apply when reverting them (there is no need for the user to have a {{banned}} tag, or be on the list of banned users, particularly when it's clear that nobody would unblock the user). Despite this, and WP:IAR ("If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it"), I stopped at three reverts, leaving the spam on the page the fourth time it was added. --Snigbrook ^(talk) 00:06, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
