More vandalism on Arturo Toscanini article

This moronic half-wit persists in vandalism

This is your last warning.
The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

It would appear that you were the person who inserted

"oh yea, balaji's a gangster. NOT. See Borat <--- IS NICE!" on the article.

If not, I apologize. Viva-Verdi 15:55, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I would remove this but I think it tells a story. Dan D. Ric 16:29, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Wiki-haunting

Lets get this straight, you are corresponding with a terminal in a public library, that could be being used by anybody.

A doppenganger, is sort of like a ghost. But a ghost is the spirit of a dead person. A doppelganger is the spirit of a living person.

For example, a doppelganger could be standing right behind you right now, but you might not be able to see them. Or it could all be in your imagination.

Like wise, you people seem to be starting to see things that are not really there. Like I said, talking to IP addresses is like talking to ghosts.

No one is making a legal threat. What is being ask is some way to send a nice polite letter asking your organization to please stop doing something.

If your organization feels threatened by asking how to officially communicate with it in a manner that will allow the party wishing to communicate, to document that the communication has been received, sorry about that.

Getting back to wiki-haunting, really it could be that it is peoples own foolish mistakes that come back to haunt them, or maybe not, look behind you, a ghostly apparition might be there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.86.14.40 (talk) 00:06, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Calvary Cemetery

Article ==> Calvary Cemetery (Cleveland, Ohio).

No worries. Thanks for starting the article! - Eureka Lott 03:04, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

It's possible that individual gangsters could be notable, but I couldn't say without knowing more about them. It certainly couldn't hurt to upload more images of the cemetery at Wikimedia Commons, regardless of whether the people are notable. - Eureka Lott 03:12, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Please take time to study this problem more carefully, mistakes tend to come back to wiki-haunt you.

Remember that when you are typing on user:quaternionist's page, you are talking to some sort of ghostly image of a real person, not an actual person, and could be talking to anybody.

You might want to try discussing this topic at user talk:homebum. This user is taking time off to make a detailed study of all the many convoluted rules of wikipedia.

In particular the rules for blocking, unblocking, deleting, and what constitutes vandalism.

Also, is there an address and a person, who is willing to accept official registered mail for your fine organization. There may be come ramifications revolving around this issue that you are unable to understand that your lawyers could help explain to you.

But any thanks for your contribution, and I am taking the liberty of moving it to a new location where the member of the quaternionist community who is specializing in these issues can respond to it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.86.14.40 (talk) 23:23, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello Dan. I agree with your message to this editor warning him about our legal threat policy. It's very puzzling that he thinks he has a case, since a pseudonym can't be defamed. (If the real Joe Smith edits under the name Zorro, and people say unkind things about Zorro, there is no harm to Joe Smith's reputation). If the editor still won't take your warning on board, admins can take action since the policy is very clear. I still have the feeling that this editor is rather new to Wikipedia and is not familiar with our customs. But if he continues to do things that other contributors perceive as threats, we will have to do something. EdJohnston (talk) 23:57, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

When a user asks if there is a person they can send registered mail to the correct answer is this. Yes, please contact our Designated_agent, Ed please assume good faith, please have another look at user talk:homebum's draft article on vandalism and the subject of defamation, and help him improve it, be welcoming. Thank you.130.86.15.143 (talk) 01:46, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Joe jobbing put-in-bay.com

I think our Edgewater Hotel spammer (see MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist/archives/June 2009#Putinbayonline.com spam) is trying to bait us into blacklisting put-in-bay.com -- that's a Chamber of Commerce domain, not one of his. Certainly his edit summaries seem calculated to goad us into this; see Special:Contributions/65.43.193.9. This behaviour even has a name; it's known as a "Joe job".

I suggest that when he turns back up again with a new IP to spam a Chamber of Commerce link you just let the link stand and ignore him.

I blacklisted every Edgewater-related domain that I could find but I suspect our spammer owns more; I'll be happy to blacklist new ones as they reappear. Just list them at MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist with a link to the June archive section above. If you're unsure as to the domain's ownership, let me know and I'll check them. I spent several hours researching the various domains and business relationships associated with our earlier Put-in-Bay spam and I kept those notes. --A.

Re: Adding photos to articles

Thanks very much for the information you have put in my talk page. It certainly seems a minefield. Having read the document giving permission so that it can be uploaded to wiki commons, I, myself, if I had produced or held the copyright to a photo would be hesitant to agree to it, especially the bit about unrestricted commercial use! Presumably insertion in Wikipedia is considered commercial? Fair useage seems a better idea. Johnchapple (talk) 22:04, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Greg London

jew Thank You Dan. Have received appropriate assistance from a neutral no conflict of of interest Wiki editor, whom I do not know outside of the page being edited. I have read the guidelines and will be as prudent and appropriate as outlined.

Kindly, Monika LondonMonika London (talk) 18:54, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Wiki editor happens to live in the city of London in England, no connection. Learned about the performer Greg London during Mr. London's show that ran in the West End in winter of 2007. Still no connection. There is a problematic entry concerning the theme music to Coronation Street. A Mr. Browning is trying to take credit for the cornet lead line recorded by Mr. Ronnie Hunt in 1960 released through Granada television in 1964. Mr. Hunt, the friend of Mr. London's grandfather is inspiration and one of Mr. London's early trumpet teachers and is godfather to Mr. London ( rick james bitch )and is still living in Surrey. Mr. Browning started crediting himself with the recording after a story concerning the death of another Granada television trumpeter Stan Roderick ran in the news media in England, if not for Mr. Hunt now in his 90's there would be no one to repute this claim. Our organization is in the process of demanding a correction story through the news media as the letter Mr. Hunt has procured from the Musician's Union confirming his recording properly documents this fact. The purpose of the Greg London Wikipedia entry is to inform the public of facts concerning the performer who is getting an enormous amount of media attention some of which is not precisely correct. All sources rely heavily on Wikipedia in order to learn about subjects including Greg London. Everyone involved in Greg London is prudent and appropriate. My background is accounting and I am first generation non millitary our personal family and organization operate from a stance of high character and are competent to use extreme caution in following the guidelines set forth by Wikipedia under The Wiki Project Biography Living Persons. Thank you for your timeMonika London (talk) 09:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC).

WolfMaster2002 & Veystracut14

Hi! Are you an admin here? I don't really know the rules here in Wikipedia but I try my best to contribute. I just want to let you know that WolfMaster2002 has been editing Sam Concepcion's article. His/Her edits were from his edit a long time ago that was also reverted by admins before due to deletion of important info. This also made his edit outdated. I may not be an expert with editing, but it seems to me that Concepcion's article is well-written, with only perhaps minor errors, for a Wikipedia article and does not even sound fan-like as WolfMaster2002 claims to be. Also, the user Veystracut14 repeatedly vandalized the same article with derogatory and sexist remarks that does not even hold true for Concepcion. Hope you can help us out. Thank you. 98.207.162.197 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:50, 7 June 2009 (UTC).

Since the contributor above doesn't know much about wikipedia, i am fixing up their errors. From the history of Sam Concepcion's page, the page has had several problems that is not right. My edits is constructive and i may make mistakes every now and again, i'm all i can do to contribute. I have reviewed the history of the Sam concepcion page and i believe this is how the page should be like. The article they have written is too fannish and is not neutral. I have searched for evidence and i have seen that admins who knew about the problem didn't revert this edit. I will provide information upon your request. Also, the article has been used for advertising and promotion of an unheld event so this is also not right. and they haven't been warned. WolfMaster2002 (talk) 23:38, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

No offense to you sir, but your edit is way outdated, and you have deleted significant information regarding the person. Actually, you deleted most of the information despite the sources placed on the article. I may not know anything and you may have the best interest, but the article in its most recent update (before you reverted it back to what you think was right) just stated facts regarding the person's biography and career. In fact, your last edit does not even reflect Concepcion's current status as a known person. For example, Concepcion is not part of those shows anymore, specifically Betty La Fea and Lipgloss. We know for a fact that the page had problems before and even experienced a "temporary lockout" if you will, but I believe the admins knew what they were doing since they were the ones who reverted THE WHOLE page back to its original content. What we only did since the reversion was add several events over the course of the months in an attempt to update the article.

To sir Dan D. Ric, please take all these into consideration. Although we understand that everyone has the capacity to edit articles out here on Wikipedia to what they think is best, all we want is a decent page for Sam Concepcion, which the page had for the longest time until these recent changes made by Veystracut14, with vandalism and WolfMaster2002, with deletion of significant information. Thank you. 98.207.162.197 (talk) 01:02, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

First off, I am NOT a SYSOP. I am also not any kind of expert on Sam Concepcion. I initially reverted obvious vandalism by WolfMaster2002, this edit, with the "removed question marks" edit summary actually adds a bunch of defamatory stuff about Concepcion's family. I therefore reverted it. I also reverted his edit here where his edit summary says "Fixed spelling error" while he actually removed Concepcion's name from the list of October 17 births.

I have not reverted any of his other edits to the article because I have no knowledge of Sam Concepcion and do not feel I can revert anything but obvious vandalism. He seems to continue to use misleading edit summaries. Since I am not a sysop, this is not a good place for this discussion, take it to Talk:Sam Concepcion and please don't edit war, I will be watching the article for three revert violations and defamatory edits. Dan D. Ric (talk) 02:20, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

my apology. i am still new and i only just figured out what the edit summary is there for. Also not all of my edit summary are misleading, just misunderstood. it will not happen again. I tried to make it consistent with the other information as i am no expert on this person as well. but i do know that the article violates certain rules. i will not bother you again. my latest edits, can be seen on the page. I have improved the article and have taken out Information that is unsourced and also not NPOV. WolfMaster2002 (talk) 04:13, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the quick reply, sir. I just would like to ask your permission for me to edit the whole article, based on what i know on the person (with sources) and on the way the other local Filipino celebrities' Wikipedia articles are done. I do not want to edit war, but I believe I have the capacity to edit his article because I know this person's career well. I just want to make sure that he has a decent and most updated page here on Wikipedia without any deletion of significant information and defamation as what have been done lately. The article may have violated certain rules, but not to the point that almost all recent data have been deleted and changed into an edit that is so outdated. I am open to any critiques regarding my editing. I will be sure to use the Talk:Sam Concepcion page for any concerns regarding the article. 98.207.162.197 (talk) 20:55 pm, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

It seems someone has a comprehension/reading problem. WolfMaster2002 (talk) 02:39, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't go on insulting people for the mere fact of asking permission. I just want to know that when I edit the article, I won't be accused of having an edit war with you and that you won't edit it back to that outdated version. That's all thank you. 98.207.162.197 3:04 pm, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Just read your reply sir Dan at my talk page. Thanks. I'll edit it using the following rules. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.162.197 (talk) 15:29, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Sir, I just want to report that Veystracut14 (talk) is back! He vandalized Concepcion's page again. Hope you can do something about it. Thank you. 98.207.162.197 (talk) 98.207.162.197 (talk) 14:39, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Coyotecooks

Hello--you recently wrote me about my attempt to submit an article on Pueblo Indian Bread. I am a former college professor--I have many academic publications. I used to joke that when it comes to computers "I'm not the sharpest spoon in the drawer." I feel as if I'm the sterotypical old geezer who looks at an Ipod and wonders where you plug the 8 track tape in. To be candid, even reviewing the "how to upload" an image seems overwhelming, since all the other sites I utilize are much more "user friendly" in terms of how to do something I used to think of as so simple-- upload an image. I keep getting flashbacks from the late 70's and early 80's when I was in grad school and had to wade through a course in An Applied Language code writing. Maybe I'm currently experiencing PTSD.

Is there an sort of cyber equivalent of "animal rescue" groups where people like me could simply do what I originally did--generate a regular Wikipedia article in a word document format, along with all the footnotes and images and then have an experienced person(s) who speaks cyber as their first language, put it into to all this awful intricate coding? I assume there must be people out there who enjoy this sort of thing, in the same way there are some people who enjoy doing accounting.

I feel as if I have a lot of valuable information to contribute, but I don't know if I have the capacity to learn the "hardware/software" interface to offer what I have in a way that I can submit it to Wikipedia as a final product. It seems as if it's a better investment of my time to actually create the content for entries than to learn how to do IT stuff.

Any suggestions.? CoyoteCooks on Wikipedia Coyotecooks (talk) 08:13, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Consequat

Dear Dan D. Ric,

You recently removed my edit of the kumquat page, in which I added consequat as a hybrid form of the kumquat, the first vegetable-fruit kumquat. The consequat was created by cross breeding carrots with the loquat. This information is not widely known, as my family, the Yoders,invented this creation. My grandparents were a part of the Amish religion in Ohio. While kumquats don't easily grow in the Ohio climate, my family created greenhouses to help the plants grow. My great-great grandparents were exiled from our Amish village in 1885 for the creation of the consequat. The rest of the village believed we were committing a grave sin, and cast out my family. Since then, we have been trying to gain recognition of the consequat. It became extinct because of an excessively complicated breeding procedure. By deleting my contribution to the Kumquat page, you are erasing my family history, and offending the credibility of my heritage. I understand there are not many sources that recognize the consequat, but I assure you, that my family were the first cross-breeders of carrot and loquats. We have no written proof, because of our Amish heritage, but I implore you to add the consequat edit to the Kumquat page.

Sincerely,

Abigail Yoder

Hello, Dan D. Ric. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Westminster School, Dubai. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. KoshVorlon 14:43, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Nice try - but the motto, the funding type were both obviously wrong, any school with a funding type of "Hitler" is wrong, any school motto stating "We live for the big booty" is wrong as well, and you were reverting back to those two things:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachik%C5%8D - Section on Death end note 10

Hi Dan, it's been some time since I've edited a page, and I seem to have managed to forget some of my syntax. The article that existed in on the page for end note 10 was a dead link, so I found a link to the article and managed to get it to work, but it doesn't look right at all. I tried to fix it and made it worse, so I backed (undid) up to the point where it works as a link but is not formatted correctly. I saw that you had edited the page in the past so I am reaching out to you to let you know that I did find a link to the article, but that the ref is not formatted correctly, and that I feel like a putz for forgetting the proper syntax. On the plus side I did find the article so there is no longer a dead link, but the fix is only half done. Mea Culpa and apologies. DrWhatIKnow (talk) 04:58, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Addition to Audiobooks

Hi Dan,

I am hopeful this is the way to communicate with you.

Obviously, I disagree with your removal of what I added. Nothing commercial (advertising) was intended or inferred. Jimmy B's Audiobooks was the FIRST AUDIOBOOK STORE in the USA if not in the world and it as a notable statement to publishers and consumers. Audiobooks.com was a similar statement. I closed Jimmy B's in 2012 in favor of Audiobooks.com. I sold Audiobooks.com in 2012.

When you look at the references of Audible (many I assisted them to develop) along with other references they are "commercial" but also note worthily.

Please reinstate the references that I put into Wikipedia. I have no interest in advertising and cannot benefit from same.

Thank you - Jimmy Belson — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimmy Belson (talk • contribs) 01:56, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
• updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.
