==Author blanking of article== | |||
I notice that you recently an edit where the author of the article ] had blanked that article, and you placed a warning on that user's talk page, using Huggle. However, it is generally accepted that if the author of an article blanks the article, and no other user has added any significant content, then the blanking is taken as indicating that the author wants the page deleted, and it can then be tagged for speedy deletion with {{tl|db-blanked}}. Very often new users who don't know how Misplaced Pages works see an article they have created tagged for deletion, accept that the article should be deleted, and remove the content, thinking that is deleting it. It is much better in such a case not to ] the newcomer by giving them a warning that they have done something wrong by trying to comply with the deletion notice. You may know all this already: I know from my own experience of using Huggle that it is very easy to slip into simply clicking on the revert button and moving on without checking the edit carefully enough, but I thought it would not harm to mention this. ] (]) 12:06, 26 February 2010 (UTC) |

Thanks
For reverting that unhelpful comment on my talk page. --NeilN 21:29, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

"One little mistake"
As I tried to explain to you the last time, if this were an isolated incident it would not be a big deal. This is a long term pattern of yours, and if you won't take it seriously you are going to keep getting these types of messages, and will probably wind up going through the unpleasantness of WP:RFC/U. You need to try and learn from your errors and not repeat them again and again. Every time someone tries to explain this stuff to you you act like it's the first time it's ever come up and the other user is being overly rude or aggressive. You may want to consider the possibility that it is you, and not everybody else, who has a problem. I would again suggest to you that you consider the adopt a user program. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:32, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
- Why do you think I request reviews from Apparition? I request them so I can learn from the mistakes I've made and improve. I politely ask that you leave me alove. I will consider any other things from you harassment. - Zhang He (talk) 21:34, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
- I guess that you do have the right to request that Beeblebrox leave your talk page, but I've never seen him say or do anything towards you that was out of line. You do have a long history of bad reverts, and you did rollback an editor who was trying to add <references/> to an article and eventually made an erroneous report to AIV. Honestly, not only is that not blatant vandalism, it is blatantly constructive. Beeblebrox never threatened you or anything, but did correctly point out that you could be blocked for edit warring. Everything that I've seen him say here is true. I know that when someone is criticizing you, it is easy to take it more harshly than it really is. From a somewhat outside view, his comments and tone are perfectly fine. They may be a little stern, but when commenting on a long-term issue, sternness may be necessary. Instead of dismissing Beeblebrox's comments and (seemingly) believing that he has something against you personally, I would implore you to take his advice, admit that you screwed up, and just don't let it happen again.
- You seem to have a tendency to think that some people who don't agree with you have something against you. Remember, that most users are simply trying to do what they believe is best for the project. I really do believe that you have made good strides in improving your anti-vandalism work, but, as in this case, you do still make some bad mistakes. When someone criticizes an edit of yours, listen to them, if you don't believe that it was a mistake, then explain your thoughts, but, if it was a mistake, own up and correct the problem. Remember, my first message to you came in the form of a template . If you listen and learn from others' criticisms and comments, they could end up helping you as much, or more, than I have. Apparition /Mistakes 23:23, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for the comment. If you'll take a look at this and this, you'll see I wasn't the only one reverting its edits, so I don't think it's fair that I should be the only one warned.
Also, this is where his comments could be considered a personal attack, especially the summary he used. - Zhang He (talk) 03:15, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- You're right in that you weren't the only person who messed up there, but you did mess up there and have a history of this sort of thing. If this were an isolated incident, then this wouldn't be such a big deal, but it really is part of a larger pattern. If the other editors had a history of this sort of thing, then they'd likely be getting these messages, too. If I went in and made some erroneous WP:MOS edit, then most likely, I would most likely get an explanation in an edit summary. If I did it again, I'd likely get a comment on my talk page. If I continued doing it, then it would build up into warnings and possibly sanctions. I'm afraid, that's the point we are at now.
- Thank you for the comment. If you'll take a look at this and this, you'll see I wasn't the only one reverting its edits, so I don't think it's fair that I should be the only one warned.

Apparition /Mistakes 23:23, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
- While Beeblebrox's comment there probably could've been worded differently, the fact is that you really do have a history with bad reverts. The comment really was true and there wasn't really a personal attack. Some of your behavior as of late looks to be pushing on some people's patience. Take a look at User talk:Apparition11#Your review to see that it is more there is more concern that one admin with this. You've now "banned" two people from your talk page in the past couple of weeks and have been extremely uncivil in several of your edit summaries and comments over the past month or so. Seriously, if you don't display that you understand other people's criticisms and will strive to correct problematic behaviors quickly, I'm afraid that it won't be long before another WP:ANI or an WP:RfC/U opens up and sanctions are made. The way it looks, it seems that you've started thinking that everyone who disagrees with you or your actions are against you. This may not be the truth, but it is the way it looks when going over your edits. You have to realize that nobody is here just to piss you off or get on your nerves.

List of surface-to-air missiles
The article should be renamed as it only shows MANPADS, not SAMs. Virtually all long range SAM systems as well as non-portable systems are missing. At best, it should have a "stub" template put in. 99.236.221.124 (talk) 05:36, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

There is no US-Mexico border wall; in fact, serious talk about such a border has never begun in Congress. It is an unconstructive edit at the very least.Boomshadow contribs 16:34, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Various reversions of edits on Ming Dynasty topics
You might want to look at this: Category:Suspected Misplaced Pages sockpuppets of Yongle the Great. After many attempts to get Yongle the Great to discuss - his edits, anything at all, he was blocked by another Administrator. But he is persistent, often using several IPs or accounts a day, and it is quite a job keeping up with him. If you ever seen an obvious sock puppet of his you can contact me or, if I'm not around, user:EyeSerene to get him blocked. Revert on sight as per our policy on block evasion. Thanks very much for your work with his edits. Dougweller (talk) 10:51, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
- You're quite welcome. - Zhang He (talk) 17:02, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I am removing uncited text. what is wrong with that. this is an encyclopedia based on sourced facts, is it not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.78.228.212 (talk) 19:46, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
- You must provide a proper explanation. Saying, "if you can remove that, i can remove this" is not a proper explanation. Cheers! - Zhang He (talk) 19:49, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
- I have had the reverse problem. I put in cites to articles that didn't have any and have been accused of spam!! Can't win with Wiki I guess! Pharaway (talk) 20:56, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
- Reference or Citation Spamming: the repeated insertion of a particular citation or reference in multiple articles by a single contributor, added not to verify article content but rather to populate numerous articles with a particular citation. Variations of citation spamming include the removal of multiple valid sources and statements in an article in favor of a single, typically questionable or low-value, web source. Citation spamming is a subtle form of spam and should not be confused with legitimate good-faith additions intended to verify article content and help build the encyclopedia.842U (talk) 21:15, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

- i already attempted that as well collectonian with NPC listing subject but wasn't affective in this case. Anyways zhang he, I'm going to attempt to talk to you, if you revert my comment, then it will be my last attempt. but that doesn't mean I'm going to avoid you. you will have to start using the discussion section on talk page. regarding the characters article, it needs to be expanded with some sources and of course give more detail on the characters instead of just a table. the article will get nominated for deletion and it will most likely get deleted. if you want to know how to keep it look up WP:NOTE. Also about using a wiki, most of the time, Wiki's don't pass WP:ELNO. hardly ever, also it's more than just being stable, it's having a history about being stable, and having a number of members. Also on WP:ELYES, it tells us what to use, on #3 it says, "Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that is relevant to an encyclopedic understanding of the subject and cannot be integrated into the Misplaced Pages article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks), or other reasons." on WP:ELMAYBE it gives a small opportunity for it to be used, but that's just 1 out of 3. as you can see, it asks for accurate material that is relevant to an encyclopedic understanding of the subject. after reading PSUpedia, it does not follow this rule. so that's why it should be avoided.It's not neutral. I'm currently trying to see if wiki's should be used at all due to unreliable and basically the same as Misplaced Pages except without sources.Bread Ninja (talk) 16:09, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Pharaway & Accusation of Vandalism
As you have all requested, einsiders should not be used as a reference, so I took down my edits that used EInsiders information. There are also a fair number of other rticles that I put in using EInsiders information. The pages have not been changed except for the reference cites. The copy is too close to what is on the EInsiders website to credit to another source. Some of the sentences are almost completely the same as EInsiders. Should I put in for speedy delete for all those articles due to copyright issues or should I delete them? If you need a list of articles where this is a problem, I can do that if it helps. Pharaway (talk) 20:54, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
- "The copy is too close to what is on the EInsiders website to credit to another source." Assuming you aren't talking about the quotations you added with your edits, inserting copy directly into Misplaced Pages from another source is wp:plagiarism. So that copy must be removed. 842U (talk) 21:09, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Locking pages with recurring vandalism
Hey there, the page I wrote and regularly update is constantly being hit with vandalism. It is getting rather tedious and time consuming to undo all the edits. The comments being posted are quite slanderous and are libelous. Is it possible to have a page locked for a period of time from anonymous users or all users until the vandals get bored and quit trying? JoshinWinnipeg (talk) 01:19, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, you can. Just follow the instructions here. - Zhang He (talk) 01:52, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

User:Bananaramaslama
You recently warned this user for blanking an article (Miss eWorld) they created. I deleted the article as a user request, although I suspect they aren't very familiar with Misplaced Pages. Although most cases of blanking are vandalism, you should probably check on the circumstances of blanking prior to warning them. No big deal, we have all done it. Cheers, -- Flyguy649 17:00, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Re: Unfair
Yes, the next warning level would have been a level 2. But when warning users we should use our own discretion on what level warning to give them. In this case the user had vandalised three times already that day, and only really has vandalism edits in the last year. While, yes, it could be different people vandalising from the same IP address, it's obvious that the only people who edit Misplaced Pages from that address are vandals, and since it's been happening for more than 4 years, it's obvious that this vandalism isn't going to stop. So basically, giving a level 2 warning would merely give the user a chance to vandalise 2 more times (and it seems rather obvious that they would take this chance), why you'd want that is beyond me. - Kingpin (talk) 07:33, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

edit war
I'm disengaging. For the record, this user has stated as a fact to several admins that he has "evidence" that I am the same person as at least 2 banned users (because I edited an article that the other users apparently edited). I've asked him several times to provide this "evidence" or file a formal checkuser request, but he removes my comments as "harrassment" or "banned user comment" and refuses to answer them.--94.136.35.108 (talk) 07:30, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

- Blocked it this am, but he seems to have an inexhaustible supply of IP addresses, and a range block is not possible because of that. Dougweller (talk) 15:41, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello Zhang, why have you reverted what I wrote on Bullfighting? I was just adding new information, that would interest people, as I´m part of a antibullfighting group working to stop it in Catalonia. We iniciated the ILP to ban bullfights in Catalunya. I also added the webpage of our work: www.prou.cat , check it out, please. Adam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adammacia (talk • contribs) 17:54, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Where is the cookie you said to give me? I didn't see it. ActivExpression 19:13, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Edit to Bidisha page
Hello and many thanks for your message. This is Bidisha and I have been editing my own page on Misplaced Pages. I am a writer, broadcaster and critic with the BBC World Service, represented by the Susijn Literary Agency and by Summersdale publishers as well as by the BBC. I do not use my surname in public and never have. The reason I don't use my surname is serious, private and family-related. My surname has never been a matter of public record and I am astounded that it is being used on a Misplaced Pages page against my will, and reinserted when I have removed it. Let me state very clearly that the use of my surname is occurring against my will and against the will of my agent, publishers and bosses at the BBC. I have set no precedent for using my surname in public life, do not permit it and do not give my consent. Please do not reinsert it. I consider this to be an extremely serious matter of public and artistic identity. I will not enter into any further personal discussion about this. If Misplaced Pages does not remedy this persistent problem we will lodge a formal complaint. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.140.42.161 (talk • contribs)
- If you have an issue with an article, talk about it on said article's talk page instead of removing its content. I will be messaging you on your talk page shortly with something that may be able to explain it better. Cheers! - Zhang He (talk) 20:23, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
- Hello, Zhang He, thank you for your decision to end recurrent deletions from the Bidisha article. These changes were made on a daily basis without any discussion or rationale and from a variety of IP addresses. It seems now they were an attempt to censor an issue of fact in an article by the article's subject herself. Hopefully your intervention will end the debate.

That's what I do.

- I don't really care. Besides, the more vandals that vandalize my userpage, the higher my vandal counter goes. I may add a counter to my talk page. However, I first have to figure out how many times it's been vandalized. Boy, that'll be hard. :) - Zhang He (talk) 20:49, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

How did I vandalize Billa (2009 film) wikipedia page? I am just adding details. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.88.78.94 (talk • contribs)
Re: Your recent message on my page
I too missed the edit summary that the IP left on their edit to Enoch. I do not know if the move was correct, but it definitely was done in good faith so I self reverted and struck my message on their page. I wanted to come here to express my appreciation for your support, though. Thanks Tiderolls 00:44, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
W. Lawrence S. Prabhakar
In restoring the speedy deletion template to W. Lawrence S. Prabhakar, you have also been repeatedly blanking the author's efforts to add a primary source reference. I have declined your speedy and restored the source. Whatever issues you may have with the article, blanking content is not a way to go about it, but I'm sure it was inadvertent on your part, thanks.

- I wasn't the original tagger. I was simply just reverting the user because creators are not allowed to remove speedy deletion templates from pages they have created themselves. - Zhang He (talk) 15:23, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
- I know, but when using undo or rollback we need to be sure that we are not also removing useful edits. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:17, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Spread the tastiness of fried chicken by adding {{subst:GiveChicken}} to their talk page with a friendly message, or gobble up this chicken the giver's talk page with {{subst:MunchChicken}}!!
-Reconsider! 09:15, 23 February 2010 (UTC)Thank you for catching "blanked" page
That was a technical mistake -- I had made a small edit, but for some reason after clicking SAVE I got a blank screen -- then your talk message saying I had blanked the entire article. Have no idea how that happened -- but am glad you caught it and presumably corrected the blanking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vaffrey (talk • contribs) 05:02, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Author blanking of article
I notice that you recently reverted an edit where the author of the article Bulletproof (Iyaz song) had blanked that article, and you placed a warning on that user's talk page, using Huggle. However, it is generally accepted that if the author of an article blanks the article, and no other user has added any significant content, then the blanking is taken as indicating that the author wants the page deleted, and it can then be tagged for speedy deletion with {{db-blanked}}. Very often new users who don't know how Misplaced Pages works see an article they have created tagged for deletion, accept that the article should be deleted, and remove the content, thinking that is deleting it. It is much better in such a case not to bite the newcomer by giving them a warning that they have done something wrong by trying to comply with the deletion notice. You may know all this already: I know from my own experience of using Huggle that it is very easy to slip into simply clicking on the revert button and moving on without checking the edit carefully enough, but I thought it would not harm to mention this.
