Hi DrNick and thanks for reverting vandalism at Femur using the "undo" function.
Please be aware that the undo function only will revert the very last edit, but will not effectively revert multiple consecutive edits of vandalism (as was the case at femur). If necessary, see to it that the last good version is restored when reverting vandalism. Thanks very much. - Gilliam 20:45, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Now that you figured it out, can you help me? I'm having trouble with the persistent vandal at Disease, he's editing too fast for me to revert because of the capcha thing. Eggishorn 18:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Please remove the speedy tag from Camp Alvernia. It does not qualify for WP:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#G11. Note that simply having a company, product, group, service, or person as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion. Dhaluza 00:18, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, HiDrNick. As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that: you do not have 250 mainspace edits. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank again for your interest in VandalProof. Prodego talk 01:15, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I do a sound engineering site geared towards the basics, I added relevant links to topic areas on wikipedia a site I have donated to, and provided content for. Nposs and cronies have taken it upon themselves to block my external links because it was felt my site looked professional. While doing this they have chosen to pass judgement on sites they have no expertise to decide whether or not. It is appropriate. Pedia is all well and good but sometimes people want an overview or geniune depth. I offer both on certain topic areas. Areas that this pedia doesnt get. Example microphones. And being from Trinidad calypso music etc. I want my domains unblocked, I do varied content that is readable. After adding links to wikipedia my visits went up but time per visit went up. While click through went down way down. So my pages where directly appropriate and being West Indian I understood knowledge areas like Dancehall etc. just look at these too links and it proves that my links were appropriate and proving useful. My time per visit will no doubt slide. but for a none commercial site that has donated monies and content, I do not want respect but the disrespect of NPoss and cronies is ridiculous. They have allowed full commercial catalogues to stay on. While links they have removed of mine have been more appropriate. No one wants traffic not interested in content.
SPAM LINK REDACTED
I have added my links appropriately and I know my domains of content. I have done a specific site. and it has its place in the external links. I am a knowledge engineer I understand what people want and how they want. Everyone has there place. For example you talk about samplers but skim over mpc1000 which are the main thing. In that area. —The preceding

Thanks for cleaning up after me. I wasn't intending the speedy or the unref tag for that article at all. I think it must have happened due to my carelessness with too many WP windows open at the same time, and I tagged in the wrong one. Professor marginalia 20:24, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
How do you change the name of an article? I created Emma Geller and I think it should be Emma Geller Green. Mthastings25 23:37, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
The page did not assert notability when I added the tag last night, and I am still not convinced that it asserts notability. It is nothing more than a biography of a lobbyist. The speedy deletion tag might be deleted but I think as the article stands now it would not survive and AFD. — Ocatecir Talk 16:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate you clearing that up. I didn't know the policy. I just saw that other sites were listed. What makes them OK? Some of them are for-profit. It seems rather arbitrary. Any insight would be appreciated. I just thought it would be a very relevant link.

I'm curious what the problem is (and I didn't add them) with your deleting the new sites, both official band sites, from the article. I'm not saying you're right or wrong, but you didn't explain yourself at all in your edit, so I'm curious why you deleted them. TheHYPO 20:57, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey, Dr Nick! There is a huge blank space at the top of the 'First with fuel injection' section of Mercedes-Benz_300SL. I have seen this a lot. Do you know how to fix this? If so, can you tell me how, as I'd rather not keep bothering you with this piffle. Matt Adore 16:27, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi – thanks for the message.
Since blocked editors can only edit their own talk page, and therefore can't post messages on the talk pages of other editors, sometimes they will blitz the blocking admin (and everyone else they can find) with emails. This has been a real problem for several admins, and the email blocking feature was implemented just a couple of weeks ago to prevent this kind of abuse.
Since HeadMouse was already liberal with his personal attacks, I chose to block his email access to prevent that. He can still email the unblock-en list and use the {{ unblock}} template if he wants to appeal the block, but he needs to cool off and do something else for the next 72 hours. If you have more questions or need help, let me know. Thanks again – Krakatoa Katie 03:35, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

HiDrNick, User:Asams10 has twice moved the photo of Balls 5 away from the corresponding text "Another of the remaining B Models, "005" is on display at the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum in Denver, Colorado." to the Gallery in the B-52 Stratofortress#Cold war article/Section on B-52Bs. Having both images together gives the reader add depth to seeing both 005 and 008 together. I have asked him nicely to return the image to the original section,(in his Talk page below your last note) as originally written... but he refuses. I can see him and I going back and forth on this, please take a moment for an impartial resolution. I am a volunteer Curator of Military Aircraft at the Wings Museum, and I am trying to add depth to many aviation articles in Wikipedia with history and references that I have personally and have access to at the Museum for the past 20 years. Balls 5 is highlighted in the Museum article. Thank you for your attention in this matter. Highest regards, LanceBarber 03:32, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
I have nothing against the article or you, but I disagree with the good article review you gave. I find numerous problems with this article that make it unworthy of good article status. I think they can be fixed up in no time, however in order to contest the decision made to list this article as a GA, I had to submit it for Good Article Review. As a result it may lose its Good Article Status until further improvements are made. For further questions let me know or see the GA Review page. -- Noetic Sage 05:51, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you didn't warn User:ILike2BeAnonymous about being in an edit war, and I just think that's kind of lame. I don't appreciate being singled out and warned about being banned for trying (and succeeding!) to improve that article. The 27 club is encyclopedic, Hendrix's membership in it is encyclopedic, the edit I made was appropriate, and I was trying to be helpful. eae 23:07, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Regarding this article, it seems someone removed your comments about cleanup. (I believe it was User:ByeNow, as shown in this diff). I left a note on his page telling him not to do that, but it seems very sock-y over there. -- Bfigura ( talk) 18:38, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I am the principal author of the Karlson and McKenzie article. I read your argument against the article, supporting its deletion. To clear up any misunderstandings, my intention was not to create a "35K advertisement" for the morning show, nor have I asserted the show's notability in the article. As for sources, I am currently working on acquiring proper sources for the content in the article. If you have a problem with the way in which the article is written, please contribute some constructive criticism on its talk page; while I understand your point of view on the article, I strongly disagree with your assessment that it just "advertises" the Karlson and McKenzie morning show.
As for the show's notability, here's a list of U.S. radio programs that most likely contains articles on some equally "local" radio shows.
Also, the show itself has acknowledged both the work put into the article and my efforts to collect legitimate information on the show and its members. The K&M show has even contributed, on several occasions (in a positive manner), to its authorship.
I implore you, in no disrespectful way, to allow me to clean up the Karlson and McKenzie article as is required by Wikipedia's standards and to add appropriate sources where needed.

It should be noted that the edits you vandalized were not in violation of WP:BLP as you claimed because I provided a reference from a reliable source. -- RucasHost 05:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Regarding the protection: I've got a long-form answer at Talk:Richard Dawkins, but the gist of the answer is, the protection of the article put a halt to the edit war and got discussion going. I've seen enough to gauge what the consensus of the community is, and I've unprotected accordingly. Those who want to change established consensus have been advised to do so through the talk page rather than editing the text straightaway. — C.Fred ( talk) 23:02, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure if you are aware but when a admin blocks a user he has to chose one of several default tags wich are all very generic for example "vandalism", "uncivility" and "violation of the 3RR", in this case this user was edit warring with another user across several different articles and he used blanking as his way of doing this, now he was clearly engaging in a disruptive edit pattern and the comunication attempts before that urged to stop and discuss had apparently failed, he was reported and I accessed the situation and had two options either block as vandalism per his blanking of material or block by uncivility per his disruptive edit warring, regardless of that it is not in my hands anymore he has a unblock request on his page wich needs to be attended by a admin besides the blocking sysop. - Caribbean~H.Q. 07:33, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

HiDrNick:
Thank you for the kind offer, and the vote of confidence. It is something I've seriously considered over the past few months; part of that involved a decision to wait for a nomination offer (rather than self-nominating.)

Thanks - I know you meant well. But I think I gave the IP a clearer understanding why his or her earlier edit was reverted, s/he understood and apologized, alls well that ends well. There's enough conflict on WP already, we don't need to add fuel to it. Thought I'd explain before I put it back up on my user page. It's not hurting anybody, and I appreciated the apology.

I'm confused - did you write or did you delete the Karlson and McKenzie page?

Please help clarify why that page isn't fit to live on Wikipedia when pages on other radio programs and TV shows are.

Hello Nick, first can i say thanks for editing wikipedia, as you may have noticed Waterboarding is very heated as it has been invovled in a four to six month long edit war. This means that good editors sometimes are not treated as nicely as they should, i'm sorry if you feel that you have been badly treated and hope you understand. I've tried to workout what licence i'm ment to be asking for but there are hundreds at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Copyright_tags and none for Cambodia. Which licence is going to be accepteble to you for keeping this very important picture. I know nothing about Copyright, and in trying to do this it has shown me how little i do know about the area. So i'm asking for your help to continue to document this piece of history. (Hypnosadist) 16:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Nick,
Appreciate what you're doing here. Quick check of the policy. There is an external link 'Free Brand Analysis.' it is blatantly promotional and delivers no knowledge value to the reader. Compare that to this link, which is all about branding and its content is syndicated to the Wall Street Journal, Google News, Washington Post and many others:

Hi there. I have seen that you use huggle by the fact that you have automatically updated the huggle white list(it does this when closing huggle). I was wondering if you would add the category [[Category:Wikipedians who use Huggle]] to your user page so that it fills out and we know who actually uses huggle. If you do not want to you do not have to. I am also sorry if i have already talked to you about this or you no longer use huggle but i sent it to everyone that has edited the page since mid January.

There is no reason to mark them for del you just are doing it because I am new at this. All of these drink companies are important the energy drink company is the only one in the world like it and the beer company is the only working one based in Alabama it looks like you just like to put thinks on real / imported info that means to me you don’t do your research before and that make you and others like you look a kid I am new at this and this is hard for me to do. I worked over 8hr on the energy drink today it would be nice if you would help people like me. I know the owners and they are good people that is how I I have the info on the companies.

This is not vandalism nor a product of it, so please be reasonable. We are simply trying to create a factual piece of information about the Hyper Magazine Forums. If you don't believe that the majority of the forums do not read the magazine you are welcome to go to the site and compare the number of posters who actually discuss the magazine to the number of posters who are active in other areas of the community. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.111.81.74 ( talk) 09:40, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

With all due respect, adding appropiate and legitimate links to wikipedia articles is a clear right of every user. I am deeply saddened that there are individuals within the Wikipedia community threatening to ban my posts, given my proof that my additions are in fact legitimate. I will be contacting Wikipedia's organizers with a formal complaint should your threats be honored. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pmatadeen ( talk • contribs) 04:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
How is adding the band Blood, Sweat and Beers to 'Cleveland Steamer' possibly vandalism? It is a popular band that has a song titled "Cleveland Steamer." This makes no sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.166.84.73 ( talk) 09:21, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Dear Nick, thank you for taking part in
my RfB. As you may know, it was
not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :)
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to
call me out. ~

Alas, sir, by the preceding posts on your page it appears that you have deleted edits by others who claim them to be legitimate as well. (See edit history on my " Ginger Kids" article edit.) Although I appreciate your vigilance in trying to keep articles pure of inappropriate content, you should not go overboard and simply blacklist good-faith edits as "unconstructive" or "vandalism" without discussing why the edit doesn't belong. Even if an edit doesn't belong, i.e. is not "notable", it is not necessarily in the same category as spamming/vandalism. That's my spiel. Wykypydya ( talk) 03:44, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Nick! I hope you excuse my ignorance...I've been trying hard to understand the rules on copyrighted images, but it can be really complex. The album infobox has been removed a couple of times from the above article - is there a rule or guideline somewhere about this? If you can point me in the right direction I will leave a note on the article talkpage. Thanks! Nesodak ( talk) 17:31, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
You probably shouldn't edit other people's comments, as you did here. I had no objection to this, especially since the user credited me in the comment. (It was GFDL anyway, so the user could reprint as he pleased). I'm not sure exactly why you deleted it, any explanation is welcome. Nesodak ( talk) 22:21, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi Dr. Nick:
Thanks [?] for the "edit war warning". If you would kindly take a minute to check the discussion page for Spider Solitaire, you'll see that there is an ongoing discussion as to whether it is appropriate to include links at the end of the article leading to non-commercial sites to play the games. I looked around Wikipedia yesterday and there are such links on literally dozens of Wikipedia pages to other games (Dominoes, Reversi, Canasta, Minesweeper, Pac-Man, and so on). If I am to be "warned" for restoring the links, is it not "fair" also to "warn" those who delete them??? An "edit war" takes two parties and it isn't right to disable the editing of only one side. Wikipedia needs to set a clear rule and have it be applied consistently across the board in such cases. In the absence of a clear rule, I think I have every right to restore the links any time anyone else deletes them. Thanks. If you want to email me, do so at [email protected] 206.74.61.67 ( talk) 14:33, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
HiDrNick: Now that I am permitted to be back on Wikipedia, I can respond to you. Your message on my talk page was offensive. To encourage me to register and help rid Wiki pages of the kind of links you know I support is condescending. You seem more interested in having your own point of view carry the day than you do in engaging in productive discussion (or else you would not have blocked me). Obviously two more Wiki-users have "reverted" the links since you pompously declared the debate over; this indicates to me that the debate continues. I believe I have every right to participate in it. Since such links to play the games are found on the VAST MAJORITY of game pages with no controversy whatsoever, it is inappropriate to make Spider Solitaire an exception, even if you are right about the question. Please don't block me again; you've reverted the pages just as often as I have and you wouldn't want to be blocked, would you? Perhaps the "golden rule" could apply here? I.e., don't block me for doing the same exact thing you are doing yourself! BTW, I AM a real doctor. Folks who pretend to have my hard-earned degree by calling themselves "doctor" are simply misrepresnting themselves in a way akin to lying. Since you were kind enough to give me the "step away from the dead horse" message, I'll respond in turn: Don't be a dick. 206.74.61.67 ( talk) 18:21, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I've just got back from a delightful holiday in war-torn Sarajevo (!) and came across your concern that my removal of the "news" of Penelope Wilton's and Elizabeth Sladen's casting on a TV program didn't constitute a violation of WP:BLP. I took a look at the policy, and it says the following: Editors should remove any contentious material about living persons that is unsourced; the three-revert rule does not apply to such removals. Since Ms Sladen is alive - or was before I went on holiday... - and the information appears to have been unsourced, I genuinely don't understand how it fails the sentence I quoted above.
The only subjective part of the rule seems to be whether or not information is "contentious"; in the past, casting on Doctor Who has been a hot issue... Christopher Ecclestonstormed out of a charity event after someone even mentioned the program to him - so I considered that putting actors in the article without reliable sources was iffy. Any thoughts? — TreasuryTag— t— c 16:34, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I just came across your bot request, and noticed that you said it would run automatically every five minutes. Despite considerable googling, I've not worked out how to do this for PHP bots I run on the Wiki, as cron doesn't seem to be applicable. Would you mind terribly pointing me in the right direction? Thanks! Smith609 Talk 23:22, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
There is a conflict regarding a known fake quote being cited as a real quote on a few Wikipedia pages. One instance of the quote can be found at the fifth bulleted quote here. It states:
The objective [of the Wedge Strategy] is to convince people that Darwinism is inherently atheistic, thus shifting the debate from creationism vs. evolution to the existence of God vs. the non-existence of God. From there people are introduced to 'the truth' of the Bible and then 'the question of sin' and finally 'introduced to Jesus.'
I discovered reliable sources here and here that show the quote to be phony. I attempted to remove the falsely attributed quotes and cited those sources, but I now find myself falsely "reported" (read: "threatened") by Orangemarlin as a vandal. Again, actually, since he falsely accused me of the same before. Orangemarlin has also reverted the edits and refused to respond to my inquiries why, simply deleting my questions as supposedly "uncivil." 67.135.49.116 ( talk) 05:20, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, HiDrNick. Thanks for helping out with the administration over at AFD however it is best practice to leave delete closures for admins so that the article can actually be deleted - see WP:Non-admin closure. I appreciate that you left a delete request & I don't want to sound too ungrateful as there is often a backlog over at AFD but if you could try to keep to obvious, snowball and speedy keeps.
