Embodied Cognition section blanking

What are you talking about? Margaret Wilson claims have nothing to do on this page! You're not helping Wikipedia by just canceling changes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.225.184.196 (talk) 12:13, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Actually, in a page talking about embodied cognition, something from a famous person stating the 6 claims of embodied cognition have a lot to do with it. Thus your edits constituted section blanking. WikiTome ^Talk 12:18, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Margaret Wilson is an acceptable authority on this subject; she is a professor, and has written several books. Go look her up. Furthermore, the 6 claims are useful in that article as they help provide a basis for understanding the subject covered. You COULD delete the "criticism of the 6 claims" at the bottom of that section which ARE inappropriate there and would be more appropriate in an article on, say, Margaret Wilson.

why i deleted "Possible Withdraws" section

Because israel confirmed its participation in esc 2011 so this section is no longer neccecery. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.65.134.32 (talk) 14:24, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

OK, thank you. No warnings necessary. WikiTome ^Talk 14:27, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

CSD G4

I just saw where you tagged Dominican Republic Film Festival -DRGFF- for deletion per WP:CSD#G4. Please note this criterion only applies to articles deleted after discussion at AFD - previous speedy deletion do not count. Thank you for your help patrolling new pages and if you have any questions, please let me know. TNXMan 18:35, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Ah OK thank you. I just re-read the policy there and noted the difference. Is there any way to propose a page for deletion with the criterion being that it has already been deleted as per speedy-delete? Thanks again, WikiTome ^Talk 18:38, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

If the page is exactly the same as the one that previously speedied, just use the same tag. For example, if someone creates an advert and it's deleted under G11 and they re-create it with roughly the same content, tag it with {{db-spam}} and a spam-hating admin (likely me) will be along to erase it from the face of the Earth. :) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:48, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello, per your request, I've granted you Rollback rights! Just remember:

• Rollback gives you access to certain scripts, including Huggle and Igloo, some of which can be very powerful, so exercise caution
• Rollback is only for blatant vandalism
• Having Rollback rights does not give you any special status or authority
• Misuse of Rollback can lead to its removal by any administrator
• Please read Help:Reverting and Wikipedia:Rollback feature to get to know the workings of the feature
• You can test Rollback at Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback
• You may wish to display the {{User wikipedia/rollback}} userbox and/or the {{Rollback}} top icon on your user page

If you have any questions, please do let me know.

--Just be careful and take things slow, especially if you plan to use Huggle, and you should be fine. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:46, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I was planning to use both Huggle and Igloo (not having any idea which will be more useful/easier for me to use), so any advice/tips would be welcomed. So excited =) WikiTome ^Talk 18:51, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting vandalism on my talk page Vrenator (talk) 19:31, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Anytime =) WikiTome ^Talk 19:32, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Abuse of speedy deletion

Please do not tag legitimate redirects for speedy deletion. The terms I am redirecting appear in lists of articles to complete but do not merit standalones. Thanks. Jokestress (talk) 06:41, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

In that case perhaps they should be discussed, because in my opinion some of those spellings are ridiculous and don't even merit redirects. ONE should be picked for a redirect. WikiTome ^Talk 06:43, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, please stop tagging legitimate redirects. Voxii (talk) 06:46, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

WikiTome, can you also give an example of whatever it is you are talking about? Jokestress (talk) 06:48, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Ah sorry Jokestress, I just realized that I confused you with Voxii. Voxii, my above comment on the implausible spellings is redirected to you. WikiTome ^Talk 06:51, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Voxii is correct, you need to stop tagging those redirects as well. I suggest you familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:Redirect before continuing on your spree of deletionism. Jokestress (talk) 06:53, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Alternate capitalizations and other variations are not implausible. Many of them have incoming links. I am not making redirects from misspellings. Voxii (talk) 07:00, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Yep you're right, comments and deletionism retracted. My apologies. Thanks. WikiTome ^Talk 07:02, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Freejack: movie

In the film Freejack, Alex (Emilio Estevez) is a race car driver and there is no mention of him being in Formula 1.

Actually before he gets blown up I think you'll find that he gets into a formula 1 car. Not a big deal, but its there. WikiTome ^Talk 07:22, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm not getting into an editing war with you. While it is true that he was a Formula 1 driver in the movie, I have changed it to say "Alex Furlong (Estevez) is a professional race-car driver" because "race car racer" is really awkward language. That should solve both of our problems. WikiTome ^Talk 07:30, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Battle of Asal Uttar

All my edits have been to add new sources and citations from books by well known personalities and removing unsourced data. I have been editing wikipedia and know what constitutes a vandalism. I was working towards improving the article and edited as and when I found information form these published books which are reliable sources. --UplinkAnsh (talk) 08:36, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I clicked on the wrong button by mistake. I have already reverted my efforts. Thanks and sorry. WikiTome ^Talk 08:38, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

I made the changes to the talk pages of Dameshek Gallagher and Albom because the talk is vandalism and not needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikicorrect7 (talk • contribs) 09:04, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

First of all, please start a new section next time. As you can see, I have not done anything to the Albom page. As for the Gallagher one, I reverted it by mistake and immediately corrected that. Thanks. WikiTome ^Talk 09:10, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Cirquent merger

Hi WikiTome,

I want to move the article from 'Cirquent UK' into 'Cirquent'. Please could you remove the article for me?

Regards, Tugba --Tugba87 (talk) 16:41, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Done. You should now put an under heavy construction tag on it (the tag is: inuse -- place double braces on both sides) so that nobody deletes it while your editing it, and complete the agendas as per the things I tagged it with, otherwise it may be nominated for deletion. Good luck! WikiTome ^Talk 16:54, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Mark Ryden

Hi WikiTome, Please have a good look at the article Mark Ryden I think you will see I am improving the article not vadalizing it. All reliable sources, LA Weekly, LAist, BoingBoing, Guitar World. etc. 69.238.167.40 (talk)

Well, now you seem to be doing good work. I'll leave it. WikiTome ^Talk 16:58, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I didn't vandalize the article Rickey Lime either. I am removing unsourced material and adding ref links. I accidentally added a blog link that had an obscenity in the url address. I removed it as well. 69.238.167.40 (talk)

Great! Keep up the good work. Now that you have removed the problematic material, I have no problem with it. WikiTome ^Talk 17:11, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Excellent. Having a hard time finding refs links but I will keep looking! 69.238.167.40 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:17, 21 September 2010 (UTC).

Hi, Truly sorry to bother you again. Could you have look a my edits to Mark Ryden? I do not want to get into an edit war with user:Hullaballoo Wolfowitz. I need a neutral third party. Thanks in adavance. 69.238.167.40 (talk)

Barnstar

Thanks for the barnstar, but I think you meant to leave it on my user talk page rather than on my userpage. The Thing // Talk // Contribs 17:42, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, most people like them on their user page. I just knew you'd come in and clean up all my mistakes for me =) WikiTome ^Talk 17:45, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Ohlly was removing notices about themself on WP:AIV. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 05:56, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

OK, my mistake. Thanks for the correction. WikiTome ^Talk 05:58, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Not a problem.  :) Everard Proudfoot (talk) 05:59, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Tesla Boy

Please note that I am NOT vandalizing the page Tesla Boy, but instead trying to wikify the article. In the process, I am (a) rewriting and moving relevant information to other parts of the article and cutting out the original sections, and (b) cutting out irrelevant sections altogether.

Although this may give the appearance of vandalism, I am not attempting to vandalize the article and instead am trying to clean it up. Please stop reverting my changes, as they are legitimate edits, and your reversions are making it difficult for me to contribute. If you disagree with any of my changes, we can discuss them. Thank you. 66.194.72.243 (talk) 06:59, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

OK, that's a perfectly fine thing to do. Please include edit summaries in the future so that it does not look like section blanking, something which users on patrol will mark as vandalism. WikiTome ^Talk 07:03, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Suspicious edits

Thought you might be interested in something I posted here "Suspicisiously similar edits and comments going on... First of all from similar interests in one footballer, Shane Duffy (soccer player), and then [1] appears similar to [2] or is this just me being paranoid. But coupled with the similar time these two have emerged and if one looks at their edit histories, one could be forgiven for coming to this conclusion" What do you think? --NorthernCounties (talk) 17:33, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Fraggle Rock

Two things, first off saying Nah! is exactly what Philo and Gunge say after introducing the trash heap and second what was your justification for dewikifying the link to HiT Entertainment that is the same company that was Henson International Television. I am for now just reinstating the HiT Entertainment wikification but not the word Nah! in the Philo and Gunge sentence because that may not be necessary. 96.243.189.48 (talk) 23:23, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
