Thank you for your response. I reviewed the details, and agree with not unblocking him. The sandbox is not a free-for-all, and it is obvious he wasn't trying to improve his editing; he was merely being a vandal. Travis declined his unblock, and I have no intention of myself unblocking him at this time. Thanks for your explanation. --].].] 19:17, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I noticed that you deleted the page about the book All-of-a-kind Family. I'm curious as to why? It's a popular children's book, and the first in a series. Was there an issue with the information on the page? I'm planning on rereading the series soon, and would be willing to rewrite a page for the book, but I don't want to bother if it's just going to be deleted.

== Recent actions ==

I noticed your from ] for ], although I didn't see any engagement with ABF - just a summary removal of rollback. This was seemingly for one revert deemed to be incorrect (although not clearly so according to ], which states ''clearly unproductive'' edits as sufficient cause for use of rollback). I thought about it before commenting and at first decided against it, but then a few minutes later I saw your own where the user cleared warnings (and eventual block message). I'm not sure of the difference between the two uses of rollback; the latter could be viewed as being more against policy than the former. I'm not necessarily subscribing to that view, but ] (a shortcut to a specific portion of ]) is pretty clear on the subject of not prohibiting blanking of warnings for both named and anonymous editors. Maybe there were more reverts that caused you to remove rollback, so I understand I might not have the whole picture here. Can you provide a little more depth to this, especially in light of your own similar use of rollback? I don't think it's useful to get into a wikilawyering discussion of whether the edit in question was blatant vandalism; that may not be clearly definable in either case, really. But couldn't you have at least engaged the editor first, rather than immediately removing rollback? <small><span style="padding:2px;border:1px solid #000000">]&nbsp;{{!}}&nbsp;]</span></small> 19:19, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

:With all due respect, I may ''strongly'' recommend having a look at the relevant policy, as my use of rollback there was ''perfectly'' ]: Removing a block template while blocked is simply not allowed. Additionally, removing a block template while blocked is absolutely not a ]. It's blatantly against policy. Therefore I feel a bit offended by your allegations. Concerning the revocation of rollback: There is broad consent that rollback can be used for blatant vandalism ''only'' (cf. ], ]). In any case it may not be used for good faith edits and to bite newcomers. Additionally rollback may be removed at any time (cf. ]) if misused — without prior notice (cf. ; “”). All in all I think my decision was/is reasonable and completely okay. Regards, —] ''•'']''•'' 20:27, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

::I withdraw the comparison; as I stated above, I understood there could be disagreement and neither of us (nor the project) is well-served by wiki-lawyering. That was far from my main point, which is this: what's the problem with contacting the user when a questionable revert takes place? We often give vandals four warnings before blocking; don't we owe a long-term contributor with over 17,000 edits at least as much respect? <small><span style="padding:2px;border:1px solid #000000">]&nbsp;{{!}}&nbsp;]</span></small> 20:46, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

:::The revert was not questionable, but simply completely inappropriate. Biting newcomers is unacceptable. Again, I think I explained it quite elaborately above why there was no need to contact the user before removing the tool. —] ''•'']''•'' 21:04, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

::::::And now it is my turn to feel a bit offended by your allegation of incivility. Regarding that discussion, I wasn't trying (and still am not trying) to get you to reverse anything, but rather to consider another point of view. We all need to balance the risk of driving away newcomers (which you correctly point out) against the risk of driving away long-time contributors (which has been my point), especially with little or no engagement. I see far more egregious stuff go on around here that is tolerated and I just feel we can do better with not-so-much effort. I don't think that's uncivil at all. <small><span style="padding:2px;border:1px solid #000000">]&nbsp;{{!}}&nbsp;]</span></small> 21:53, 18 December 2008 (UTC) <small>(I'm watching your page; no need to give me an orange bar.)</small>

:::::::Firstly, there was nothing intended to be offending in my comment: Simply, I ''felt'' your comment to be a bit impolite. If it was not intended to be impolite, I'm sorry for the allegation. Secondly, I still can't see what I did wrong. Again, the edit was clearly inappropriate and simply justified a revokation of the rollback permission. More important, I have to ask you for elaborating and explaining your allegation of ''biting valued vandal-fighters''. Actually, could you please explain how I was ''biting'' ]? I think this claim is absolutely incorrect, unjustified and inappropriate. I removed the rollback permission from ]'s account — whilst I explained several times why this was completely in accordance with our rules and justified/reasonable, you never explained why this was not in accordance with our rules. Then I ] about the revocation of his rollback right and about the reasons for the revocation. Again, I have to ask, how at all was this biting? After a discussion (linked above) ] noticed that his edit was inappropriate and why his edit was inappropriate. Additionally, he promised to be more careful in the future. After that I re-granted rollback. Once again, could you please explain how your allegation of biting does apply here? Finally, could you please explain what you mean with “''not-so-much effort''”? Summarising I again feel this allegation of biting to be inappropriate and offending. — <small><b><span style="border:1px solid #20406F;padding:1px 3px;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">]</span></b></small> <span style="color: #999;">//</span>&nbsp;] 23:21, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps "wrong" is not the way to characterize things; I thought it could have been handled ''differently''. You are focused on the idea that ] performed an action that was clearly inappropriate, and that such action - by itself - is sufficient to remove rollback privileges. My issue is this: it is inappropriate for vandals to deface pages, and yet we often give them several warnings. In the case of really "bad" vandalism, we do block immediately. I just don't think this one revert - from a long-standing editor who has reverted literally thousands of vandalism edits - was sufficiently "bad" to remove rollback without engaging the editor first. It was never about "give it back" - it has always been about engaging the editor with a discussion about the edit. Your removal of the rollback privilege may very well have fallen within policy, but there needs to be judgment applied in all cases on this project (including admin action), and I am questioning the judgment behind this ''one'' action. If this were a new user who didn't understand rollback, that would be a different story. If it were an established user who had suddenly gone berserk with rollback, that would be a different story. But neither of these is the case. Also, you specifically said that ] was biting a new user. These two things combined are why I used the term "bite" to describe your immediate removal of rollback. My opinion is that it was not necessary to remove rollback in order to achieve the desired effect; you could just as easily have left a note (hence the "not-so-much effort" idea). The difference is that one is collaborative, and the other appears punitive. Now - as to the inappropriate rollback and the new user who may have been driven away by the revert, I have sympathy with this point of view. This is a big, intimidating place, and people may very quickly form negative opinions, and we, the experienced editors, are often the emissaries that new users must gauge the project by. But I ask you: after identifying this inappropriate edit and removing rollback from a long-established editor, did you and offer any ]? <small><span style="padding:2px;border:1px solid #000000">]&nbsp;{{!}}&nbsp;]</span></small> 00:34, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

:Frank, there was nothing punitive in my action. You said it yourself, biting newcomers and thus scaring them away ''must'' be averted. It was preventative, not punitive at all. One thing has to be said: Do you really want to claim that it would have been my duty to apologise to that user? It would have been ABF's responsibility to do that, not mine. — <small><b><span style="border:1px solid #20406F;padding:1px 3px;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">]</span></b></small> <span style="color: #999;">//</span>&nbsp;] 01:00, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

::You neither contacted the user nor asked ] to do so. If your intent was truly to protect the project and welcome new users, it would seem to me that it would be most appropriate to see that whatever wrong you perceived should be righted - regardless of who does it. Failing that, your immediate removal of rollback appears more punitive than preventive. This is a collaborative project; my whole point in contacting you was that I think more collaboration could have taken place. <small><span style="padding:2px;border:1px solid #000000">]&nbsp;{{!}}&nbsp;]</span></small> 19:09, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

:::Bluntly, it's simply a matter of tact to apologise if one makes a mistake; something that should go without saying. I think everyone knows that. Therefore I think it's kind of strange that you claim now it would have been my duty to go to ] and tell him something that is a blatant matter of course — plainly, I don't understand your claim at all. Additionally, what does “''If your intent was truly to protect the project''” mean? Do you seriously want to allege that my intention was to damage the project? With all due respect, in my whole time here I never read something that was that shameless and disrespectful. I think that's going ''vastly'' too far and is more than just offending. — <small><b><span style="border:1px solid #20406F;padding:1px 3px;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">]</span></b></small> <span style="color: #999;">//</span>&nbsp;] 19:53, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

::::You wrote that there was nothing punitive in your action and that it was purely preventative. My comment reacted to that - nothing more. You prevented nothing; you punished a user after the fact for a perceived error and then did nothing to either correct said perceived error or encourage the editor to do so. Nothing in that either states or even implies any intent on your part to harm anything.

:::::To sum this whole discussion up: You came here complaining and making various allegations; Whilst I really tried to explain providing very detailed rationales, you now just start repeating your claims — without going into my rationales (not even ''a bit'').

Hello Aitias,

The example you gave was certainly an error on my part, but I believe that is the exception rather than the rule. At the risk of sounding like I'm making excuses, that page was under rapid fire attack at the time and the page is over 100K (causing serious issues loading the diffs in Firefox). I noticed my error right away but within just a minute a number of folks had descended on the article to help out and the issue became moot. I should add that I revisited the article later and was able to assist a little in the clean-up.

In general, I believe I do a better than average job at catching old and missed vandalism. Examples: , , , , . One of the things I appreciate about Misplaced Pages is that we are very careful handing out tools to admins, however, in this case -- given my edit history taken as a whole -- I feel you might have been overly cautious. In any case, I appreciate you taking the time to listen to my reply and I understand entirely if you do not agree. Sincerely, ]] 00:15, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey Aitias, Knotslanding came back to the article and reverted the bulk of the changes made in the last 24 hours (). He also posted to his talk page which shows, again, that he does not understand 3RR and does not plan to heed any warnings from anyone. His attitude on the talk page of the article doesn't seem to be productive either (he insists that original research is perfectly fine in the place of sources).

== Sick Dude ==

Hello Aitias,

I just returned home to discover my wikipedia entry for "Sick Dude" had been deleted by you. I just wanted to send you this note because I'm not entirely sure why. The user, snigbrook, had some problems with my definition, but all my research and references were 100% accurate. How can one user stand in the way of legitimate, interesting information being put here on wikipedia? I spent a lot of time looking into my research and am frankly a little upset by this, especially since my family has donated money to wikipedia in the past to keep it going. I thought this site was for factual articles that people may find of interest. I didn't think one or two people's opinions on a matter could prevent an entire group of people from discovering an idea or a concept that exists out in the real world. There is a legitimate web based organization that is promoting this and I think it's a valuable entry for wikipedia.

May I please re-build this site with yours' and wikipedia's blessing? It would mean a lot to many people. I hope you understand.

Thank you! Aaron --] (]) 06:54, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Caspian bue, Currently, my computer has serious problems, so L and P are not typed (should be copied). I had considered to take the matter to ANI but Sennen has blamed me for taking his issues to ANI, so I rather made my efforts to talk to him. However, this issue is deeply related to his long and persistent "wikistalking' "harassing" me for over one year. Several days ago, an IP user {{User|76.172.217.103}} falsely displayed that Mr. Lee is "]" as insisting that even Korean students temporarily living in Japan are Zainichi I reverted his false labeling as ] violation because Lee Myeong-bak is neither living in Japan nor a permanent resident carrying with "an alien card". In Korea (both South and North), any allegation regarding any involvement of ] has caused great "defamation". However, on the same day, right after that, Sennen goroshi suddenly inserted this passage like ''"also known as Akihiro Tsukiyama"'' and ''"formerly known as Akihiro Tsukiyama"'' to the intro of the article. That is original research. He also falsely accused me of doing vandalism] due to removing his such violation without sources. After me and others pointed out that his caim is not supported by any source. Then, he changed the subject to just include his birth name, but which is already in the next thread about his childhood. It was also discussed, but he did not accept the consensus. He also wikistaked me to Roux's RFA right after I voted and reverted my edits on History of Japan. As far as I've known he never voted for RFA, and edited the article for History of Japan. But he always does that to provoke me. When he was blocked in his previous occassion, he promised not to do "wikistaking' "harassing" me, but well, did not work. --] 17:55, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

== 7d physics deletion ==

I'm unclear as to the specific reason for the articles (7d physics) deletion: is it unpublished OR?

I can perceive logical arguments that some of the conclusions derived from the mathematical work are OR, but (non theoretical) mathematical conclusions can never be OR and therefore the mathematical work in the article is not OR. It definitely has value as it highlights several mathematical relationships not directly mentioned in other wikipedia articles on subjects related to it (Kaluza Klein theory, m theory, special relativity, de Broglie hypothesis). I suppose the relationships could be edited into these articles, but it would certainly clutter them up unnecessarily when we could instead have a single article that describes these relationships. Perhaps the only important relationships are the one between de Broglie and Compton wavelengths (added to these articles), the trigonometric relativistic mass/energy relationships (added to relativity articles), and the gravitational distance test for dark matter (perhaps added to dark matter article). The rest is probably unnecessary at this point.

Can I get a copy of the article (7d physics) (text with latex included) for my records?


Thank you for your time,

Matt

== Deletion -- Żądło-Dąbrowski z Dąbrówki h. Radwan ==

Hello:

The article "Żądło-Dąbrowski z Dąbrówki h. Radwan" was deleted.

I believe the article deletion nomination was ill-considered.

The article, at the time of the deletion nomination, had surmountable problems.

The problems were in the process of being fixed, while the deletion debate raged.

The subject of the article is notable, if one checks the verifiable, widely-published, third-party references included in the article.

In particular, the subject of the article is a family part of the immemorial Polish nobility.

In the 18th century, nobility tracing its origins before the 15th century represented only 5% of the noble population as a whole. I believe that makes this family, the subject of the article, notable, particularly since the family has notable members, too.

SEE: http://books.google.com/books?id=MnwmMOWK-PsC&pg=PA136&lpg=PA136

I also feel the motives behind the deletion nomination of the article were made in bad faith.

The deletion nomination, and the subsequent delete votes, seemed to be more about this article being an attempt by some champion of an upstart noble family to seek praise and glory on Misplaced Pages.

That was not the intent.

The article on ] clearly states the term nobility originally meant those who were known or notable.

This family, who appears in several widely-published academic sources, is inherently notable. This is documented and the evidence supplied with the article.

Also, there are notable members of the family, with articles of their own. It seems ridiculous not to have a separate article on their background, given the family they've come from is notable. Without the article on their family, the same information about their background needs to be repeated in several articles. This is not good.

I do not think the article deserved deletion nomination in the first place, as notability is separate from fame, importance, or popularity.

Please undelete the article, and if this is not possible, please suggest what steps must be taken next for a deletion review.

Thank You -- ] (]) 21:36, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

:Well, I don't see a ] for always copying the given reason into the deletion summary. Actually, I don't see a need either.

Hi:

Regarding:

]

While that debate was going on, I moved the article to:

Żądło-Dąbrowski z Dąbrówki h. Radwan

That is a substantial rewrite that addresses the notability concerns.

This second article was deleted as a result of being linked to the first article.

Quoting ]:

"If an article was deleted for lacking content or for having inappropriate content (this applies to most speedy deletions) and you wish to create a better article about the same subject, you can simply go ahead and do so, with no need for review. It is especially wasteful to go to deletion review over an unsourced stub when the alternative of creating a sourced article is available."

I'd like to recreated my new article with the title "Żądło-Dąbrowski z Dąbrówki h. Radwan"; but, I don't want it immediately deleted. I am trying to act in good faith.

Please advise.

== new references added before deletion of page for Donovan King ==

Hello, I added references (several news articles and radio reports) including interviews with Donovan King and reports on him and his projects to show that Mr. King is in fact a notable actor. These included interviews on the CBC and articles in national Canadian media such as The Globe and Mail and the National Post.

Mr King is the founder of the Optative Theatrical Laboratories which has been in operation since 1999 and conceptualizer and co-founder of the International Infringement Festival which began in Montreal and has since spread to other cities such as Buffalo, New York and Bordeaux, France. He is also listed in the Canadian Theatre Encyclopedia.

I am not the author of the article in question and noticed that it was rather sparse and contained no references which is why I added them. I think that I was a little late and discussions had already closed. If this is the case, please tell me if I should proceed by posting a new, more detailed article on Mr. King or if you could put the old article back so the discussion could continue.

== Why have you deleted my article "Zak Martin"? ==

I put a considerable amount of work into this article and provide all the requested references (far more than I have seen on most other Wiki biographical articles).

It is not true that this article was marked for deletion and no-one objected. I objected, and asked you what specific changes needed to be made to the page in order to prevent it from being deleted.

You state that this article was marked for "speedy deletion". I have carefully read the criteria used to determine whether articles should be marked for "speedy deletion", and none apply to the article I posted - not remotely.
As a professional journalist of some 35 years I take serious exception to my work being trashed - apparently arbitrarily - on a pretext that does not apply.

I would therefore like to know exactly why this article was deleted, and to whom I should make a formal complaint with regard to its deletion. Alternatively, please restore the article with specific suggestions as to how to make it acceptable for publication in Misplaced Pages.

Thank you.

==Message from ]==
Hi Aitias, why was my page deleted in the first place?
http://en.wikipedia.org/Eugene_Curnow

"Seems only claim to notability is his autobiography" Can you elaborate on this ?

Since a didn't got the chance to debate over its deletion (just got back from vacation) I would like to resubmit a revised version of my entry. Therefore, should I focus more on the impact of Dr. Curnow's work and legacy?

Tks alot.

P.S: Can I get alerts send to my personal email from Misplaced Pages?
