Please remove HG from Twycross Zoo pageHi Prince I'm not really into wiki but you keep deleting my posts using HG. I hope this is the correct way to tell you about my business. I am the owner of Pirates Cove at Twycross Zoo and am trading there right now. Someone is maliciously trying to erase my business from it's history but I can assure you that everything I have posted is 100% correct and I can prove it. I got my daughter to post some citations but I have even more than this as evidence if you need it. Whoever it is, who is trying to remove my posts is doing this out of jealousy or hatred. I request that you remove HG from any posts made on the Twycross Zoo page by myself, Dartman501. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.27.144.105 (talk) 20:36, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Roux (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: My editing was not disruptive. G2bambino had clearly agreed to a consensus via reverting the page here, indicating that the conflict was ongoing and clearly implying that further edits should not be made until the conflict had been resolved. This was acceptable to me, and obviously acceptable to him--right up until I took the issue to WT:MOS. All of a sudden, that was no longer an acceptable state for the page to be in, despite the fact that the discussion/conflict was ongoing. The consensus was clear; I was enforcing that consensus and nothing more. Indeed, I was reverting to his own edit, the one that he wanted to stay up until the conflict was resolved! Decline reason: Despite what you may believe [1], 3RR is not an entitlement. You were clearly disrupting things and knew you were doing it.

Roux (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: What are the chances of being unblocked if I agree to mediation with G2? Decline reason: Given that this is your third block for edit-warring, I wouldn't feel good about an unblock; I'd feel better about seeing you find different ways of editing after the block expires. — FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 12:14, 24 September 2008 (UTC) If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.

Roux (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: Seeing as the other user is now resigning from the project, there is no chance for further conflicts. My understanding is that blocks are meant to be preventive, not punitive, and with G2bambino's resignation there is nothing to prevent. Decline reason: The actions of other users are not part of the reason for your block; see WP:GAB. — Sandstein 20:20, 24 September 2008 (UTC) If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.

Roux (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: Sandstein, I understand that. I didn't say that his actions are the reason for my block; my responses to his actions are. If he's not here to take any actions that I would respond to, there is no reason for me to respond to them, therefore nothing to prevent. My understanding is that punitive blocks are specifically disallowed. Am I understanding something incorrectly? Decline reason: Both editors were blocked because both editors saw the other's edits as disruptive; however, the very actions taken in attempting to avert what they thought was disruption resulted in greater disruption itself. Unblocking one under the guise that it's simply "okay" because the other is blocked would be setting up for a snowball disaster once the other's block expired. Also, for the record, we usually will protect a page after this many unblock declines, so unless you have a really good reason for doing so, I'd avoid making another unblock request under this block. — slakr\ talk / 01:36, 25 September 2008 (UTC) If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.

Helpme requestThanks for your help. While experimenting, I noticed that the problem only happens when 1 box is open and 1 is closed... so I just avoid that situation. Thanks again, TheMoridian 12:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC) "Vandalism" of Olivia Newton JohnHi Prince of Canada, I hardly think a bold edit of the article in question constitutes vandalism. Perhaps I should have used the sandbox to remove useless information for Wikipedia articles, i.e. a list of song publishers. I hope you find this justification to be valid.

Page deletionHey there POC, thanks for the delete. I was also keen on deleting the user page (/Oxazole) as well as the talk page. Cheers Freestyle-69 (talk) 07:54, 26 September 2008 (UTC) Elite Rhodes-AdoptionYes please i will be happy to accept Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotSuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun! SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping. If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker. P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 14:21, 26 September 2008 (UTC) Orissa- thanksI just wanted to clarify that my comments regarding the protection were by no means meant as an attack on you. I can imagine it's been frustrating, but thank you for your work on moving the dispute towards resolution, and for recruiting a rewriter. Best regards, Gabrielthursday (talk) 23:32, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Well... that was brave, I grant you. I removed the report simply as a means of lessening potential disruption, which any block following an AIV report would ensue. Giano should not and generally does not get preferential treatment, but there is an acknowledgement that injudicious action regarding him tend to have consequences. If you, or anyone else, has a grievance against Giano it is best brought to - in very clear and neutral language - to WP:ANI. I will also have a little look as regards the matter. Cheers.

EditorsHiya PoC. As you can tell, myself & Guy (a Wikipedian I barely know) have differing opinons on the value of editors. I couldn't care less, as to how many contributions (good or bad), awards or tenure length a registered user had under his/her belt. None of it intimidates me nor overly impresses me. As I've said before, I'm a true layman. OK, I'll make exception for editors I know, better then others, ha ha. GoodDay (talk) 22:32, 27 September 2008 (UTC) Article editingI visited your page and saw you saw you were willing to go through an article. In response, would you bother to check my Mt. Tamalpais & Muir Woods Railway article? It is not complete, but please contact my talkpage and tell me if there is anything wrong; moreover, edit whatever you want.Thanks,--Archeopteryx (talk) 01:35, 28 September 2008 (UTC) EDITS AGAIN TO ORISSA BY RECORDFREENOWMinor edits by me to shorten the length and to correct verbosity have been summarily undone by Recordfree without reference.

Jobxavier (talk) 06:28, 28 September 2008 (UTC) Threat of blockI dont think users should be able to get away from inserting irrelevant POV and reverting all edits regarding that POV and then also threaten to report. The onus is on you to justify how the background section is of any relevance to the recent communal violence in Orissa. Trips (talk) 07:40, 28 September 2008 (UTC) Speedy deletion of month-old articles with no contentThe articles I tagged had literally no information whatever (Wikicruft doesn't count). You will note that I spared the ones with data. There is absolutely no value to WP to having these stubs in there before there is even an iota of information. I suggest you (a) not shed a tear while watching these all be deleted; and (b) add the new pages when you have the supporting material. Bongomatic (talk) 13:08, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi there. I am the admin responsible for deleting some/most of the articles and wanted to drop by and explain that this is not because the subject does not merit an entry but because we don't keep placeholders on Wikipedia. If there is no actual content (which there was not in any of the ones I have deleted) then the article should not be put in to mainspace, an amount of leeway is given for newly created articles but this is typically measured in hours rather then days, or in this case, weeks! My advice would be to create them in sandboxes in your userspace and then move then as and when they have content. I would normally offer to copy the deleted articles in to userspace but as they are the same template there doesn't seem to be much point, but, of course, if you would like me you just have to ask. Good luck with your COA project. Kind regards, nancy (talk) 13:37, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
Little context in Coat of arms of Castlegar, British ColumbiaTo contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Coat of arms of Castlegar, British Columbia, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

New users have registered (presumably previously unregistered users who were vandalizing the page, with the possibility of one or more sock puppets) and are continuing with deletion of content. I was hoping for some advice or assistance in warning and/or blocking these users. Revision history:[[3]]
Example:[6] I appreciate any assistance you can provide.

I live in Nafplio, Greece. There is no rail services from/to Athens anymore. There are only frequent bus services to/from Athens by KTEL organisation. Please correct it, i tried and i cant. thanks antonia paziota My bright ideaI'll dress up as batman, you as robin and I'll take the photo though The Queen's window while you cover me! I tried last year but it didn't work. ;) --Cameron* 13:30, 29 September 2008 (UTC) re Dwayne Perkins DeletionThanks for your notes. it seems having someone else write about you is the main criterion for not being and "ad" apparently someone already did. I had nothing to do with that one and somehow that got deleted too. I didn't even know it had been created until i went to create one on my own. People come to wikipedia for information. So if someone chooses to type my name in the search engine and they get my page I fail to see how that can be construed as promotion or an ad. The only way people see my page is if they search on my name which means they are looking for me which in and of itself suggests some level of notability. I will peruse the rules but as of now it feels like a very subjective thing is being sold to me as cut and dry. I'm sure the case for my page being ok is almost as strong as the case against it. I have videos on youtube that I did not put there. Articles written about me that I did not generate or spur. Plus, someone I don't even know has already tried to make an article about me. I'm not here for promotion but more for validation. There are plenty of people on my level who have pages/articles here. It's not promotion as much as it is simply making a factual reference page. I don't mind the community deciding my fate on this but I don't feel the community has spoken. Just a few gatekeepers. Thanks again.
