User talk:Canadian-Bacon
Like all Wikipedia editors I am only human, and I have made the occasional mistake on RC Patrol. If I have reverted a legitimate edit which you have made or left an improper warning on your talk page, please accept my apologies. I do however, like to know when I have made an error so please leave me a message explaining any improper reverts. Thanks. Canadian-Bacon |
Welcome to my Talk page. Please leave all messages at the bottom under a new category(by creating a title like ==This==) and sign your name to them(like this ~~~~) and I'll try to respond to anything as quickly as possible. Cheers. Canadian-Bacon
My Request for Adminship
I think the prson who tagged that as a copyvio was a little over-enthusiastic. If you take a look at the page it's allegedly a copyvio from, that page actually cites Wikipedia as its source. I propose undeleting it, if that's OK by you? Tonywalton | Talk 20:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Deletion of my termHey Canadian-Bacon, you deleted my definiton of Fan-Generated Media for lack of content. What exactly do I have to do to make sure it stays? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sportsfan500 (talk • contribs) 21:13, 9 January 2007 (UTC). Hi, I spent quite some time explaining why I thought the term adpack should stay, but it was unceremoniously ripped out before I even heard a reply to any of my comments. Could you please at least reply to my argument for keeping it in? I understand you feel it is 'advertising', but in that case any description for any person, place or product is also advertising. Where do you draw the line? Is it 'how' it's written or a personal opinion of 'what' it is being written about? If in the end you tell me that it's over, then I will just have to grin and bear it, but I was genuinely trying to get you to help me change the content so that it WAS acceptable. Could you please help me by telling me how I should alter the information I wrote so that it IS acceptable. Much in the same way as there are many stories about 'products' on here already. Hope to hear back from you soon. Bill Micro 00:50, 10 January 2007 (UTC) ADPACKOK I'll do my best to answer your concerns: I am satisfying the following criteria by showing you articles written by other people regarding Rudy Labordus, Breakthrough Corporation and Adpack. I trust this meets your criteria for having 'notability'? Criteria for products and services A product or service is notable if it meets any of the following criteria: 1. The product or service has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself. Sources [1] http://www.gizmag.com.au/go/2743/ [2] http://www.advi.ru/search/search.php?skey=adpack&s_kor=1&s_kgo=%E8%F1%EA%E0%F2%FC (it's in Russian though - but I do have the 4 page spread that they printed in the magazine if you need to see it) [3] http://www.adwordsadsensetools.com/AdPack.html I do have scanned images of independent magazine and newspaper articles if the above is not enough. How do I get them to you? I can't seem to attach anything to this message board... Others Marketing Magazine Business News West Australian Newspapers Campaign Brief Community Newspapers Sunday Times
I'm hoping to kill 3 birds with one stone here. Could you please give me the OK for 3 articles (if they are OK). Rudy Labordus, Breakthrough Corporation and Adpack. Hope to hear from you soon. Bill Micro 15:03, 10 January 2007 (UTC) I demand satisfaction.Why is it my article which was well written and existed for about two years is considered deletion-worthy and yet a bunch of articles that consist of no more than a single sentence and an infobox aren't? Your own rules state that an article that 'consists only of links elsewhere or a rephrasing of the title' which is quite literally all the stubs in question were, are deletionworthy. HalfShadow 19:34, 10 January 2007 (UTC) Project Rockstar. I finally get it to the point that it's not getting vanadlised every half-hour and he comes out of nowhere and gets it deleted. Meanwhile three quarters of his articles are nothing but microstubs.

Thanks...for the talk page revert :) Arjun 21:28, 11 January 2007 (UTC) A very Californian RfA thanks from Luna Santin
The Memory bandI didn't add the Google link, though I did start the page. I assure you, however, that its deletion is not a problem. Thanks for taking care of it! :) Originally, the article had simply been parked on The Memory, which is a disambiguation link for a Thai film. The only reason I started the article was to get it off the dab page. Thanks again. — WiseKwai 00:23, 15 January 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for January 15th, 2007.

Vandalism after you gave final warningI'm not sure the best place to report this, but I saw on User talk:Yankee412 that you had given a last warning about vandalism. I've just posted another vandalism warning there. (BTW, where should I really be posting this?) Aleta 22:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Ralbot 06:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC) AmusingIts always a hoot to watch an actively patrolling Admin leave a "final" message on a vandal's talkpage and knowing that the vandal has no intention of stopping, also that you probably expect that as well and are sitting there waiting to pull the trigger on him.

We're always in need of more advocates, especially since were backlogged most of the time. Before heading into your first case, please take some time to familiarize yourself with the AMA FAQ's, the Guide to Advocacy, and the AMA Handbook. Just a few pointers for what we do. We communicate by putting a template on our talk page. The template is {{AMA alerts}}. The AMA also has it's own IRC channel, which reports new cases and alerts to us. It can also be used as a place to ask for advice on an issue. If you'd like to jump right into a case, you are free to check out AMA Requests for Assistance, which is our new request for advocacy system. The instructions for how the technical part works is on it's talk page. You can also use the AMA userboxes that appear under here. If you have anymore questions about the organization, just ping any advocate's talk page, including our coordinator Steve Caruso or deputy coordinators Wikiwoohoo and Aeon. Again, welcome to the AMA! -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 19:02, 25 January 2007 (UTC) Viadeo / ViaducNow that you've nuked Viaduc, can you nuke Viadeo, and maybe do something about the user who posted the articles? Based on the block history, I'd guess that the same person has recreated both articles two or three times, with exactly the same content. Argyriou (talk) 22:08, 26 January 2007 (UTC) Jimmy SwaggartHiya, I'd appreciate it if you could have another look at the Jimmy Swaggart article, which continues to be disputed, despite a version consisting only of cited, undisputed facts going up. The atcual objections to expanding the article are a little more abstract, and though a lot of policy links are being thrown around a lot of them don't seem to apply at all. Artw 09:06, 27 January 2007 (UTC) Belated CongratulationsBTW congratulations on your adminship.

Just giving you a quick heads up. EDIT: The IP user 63.3.19.1 is also the same person and has just recently personally attacked me on my talk page. If you could help out here, it would be greatly appreciated.

Ralbot 04:53, 6 February 2007 (UTC) My last RfA/meHi Canadian Bacon! You opposed my last RfA in late November 2006. There were opposes citing civility and inexperience with policy. It's about 3 months after that, and I think I've gained more experiance in policy and more emotional stability on-wiki. Recently I've been doing a bit of Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam stuff, though this last week I haven't had a great deal of time. Anyway, I was considering an RfA in a month or two, and I wanted to ask a few people if they had any recommendations as to what I should to or criticisms over the last few months. Thanks for reading! ST47Talk 01:22, 8 February 2007 (UTC) WikipedianFirst of all - did you play starcraft/counterstrike/tribes or something - i knew a canadian bacon that used to play video games i BELIEVE - which is why i picked you out of the list of admins - Basically im just going to post this conversation on here because im far too busy to redo it. thuglastalk|edits 03:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC) I dont know the qualifications for a vandal, but i may have foundone. Maybe you could look into this? thuglastalk|edits 01:55, 6 February 2007 (UTC) Judging by his contributions, he doesn't look like a vandal. He's probably a new user who wants to expand articles (I do, sometimes), which isn't vandalism. And to know the qualifications of a vandal, go into their contributions and look at some of the diffs. If any seem to be nonsense, POV, or personal attacks, or clear vandalism, then that person may be a vandal, and should be warned with the appropriate warning templates. If he continues to vandalise despite a last warning, then you can report him to WP:AIV. --AAA! (AAAA) 02:52, 6 February 2007 (UTC) I had looked at several articles he has edited. Almost all of the edits i looked at appeared to be nonsense, but perhaps i did not look at enough of them or did not have knowledge of the material myself... One of them talked about erections? - 4 the one that made me suspicious was an unsourced claim that had no hits on google... Regardless, thanks for looking into it for me thuglastalk|edits 12:36, 6 February 2007 (UTC) Are you sure these are not vandalism - 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Reynolds_%28actor%29&diff=prev&oldid=86441550 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Harvey_Birdman%2C_Attorney_at_Law_episodes&diff=prev&oldid=103426932 thuglastalk|edits 00:25, 8 February 2007 (UTC) Not vandalism. Just because someone added a reference to erections doesn't mean it's vandalism (unless it was in a silly way like "His erections are bigger than a tree trunk", then that's vandalism). I remember seeing a few T.V. shows that have made a few penis jokes myself, they can still be added to articles, as long as it's not in a silly way. Also, could you show me those nonsense edits you were talking about? --AAA! (AAAA) 00:33, 8 February 2007 (UTC) You did not respond to his first contribution. John Reynolds 'allegedly' plays a role on a lark? where is this coming from? is this implying he rides a lark while acting or something i have not thought of? the revert i made on carol king seemed nonsensical to me so i reverted it because it had no hits on google. Most or all of his edits seem odd and have no sources. While i do not argue that adding to wikipedia requires sources - if someone is making many claims that cannot be verified i would suggest having some way of checking. After all i could say B.F. Skinner 'allegedly' was a underdeveloped child when he was younger but this should need some form of source. after all, perhaps i have alleged this? I have not found one edit he has made that i have been able to verify. i appologise for poor grammar and such i have no time to be wiki'ing - exam in 12 hours. thuglastalk|edits 02:08, 8 February 2007 (UTC) Sorry. I'm afraid I can't help you there. Try contacting an admin. --AAA! (AAAA) 02:51, 8 February 2007 (UTC) Alledged AbuseYou are being a bully with your powers, If you continue, you will be examined. Under the "Lolita" article, when I changed Vladim Nobakov's country to Russia/USA , this was correct. Do not revert articles because you fill they may have been "vandalized" without proper examination, as well, if you do feel they correction was incorrect, then please explain as to why this is so. I am once again going to progress this article, if you would like to have a discussion with me, you can send me a message, but do not use unnecessary enforcement because of muffled accountability; thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.201.83.145 (talk • contribs).
