"Vandalism"

Please be careful about refering to other editor's work as "vandalism". You can disagree with someone's edit all you want, but if there's any reasonable chance it was done in good faith, calling it vandalism only makes the situation worse. Friday (talk) 15:29, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

You seem to be completely ignoring the fact that Midnight Syndicate's post is an autobiography, a very obvious self-promotion tactic, and seems to have no valid references (only the band's own PR campaign and from what I can see some serious revisionist history). Douglas claims to have not known, but his own sales manager Lizstjames was the first to post other that the unknown IP addresses, which are likely the same person. What happened to not being allowed to write about onself? Is that rule no longer in effect? Because if so, then I should like to place my owb bio on a page for my books, which are on Amazon and have been featured in a good many magazines. For that matter I could talk about upcoming books as well. Please explain how case this differs. GuardianZ 20:39, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

We still don't encourage folks to edit articles about themselves. However, this does not make such an edit "vandalism". We use the word vandalism only to apply to edits that are intended to cause harm to our content. We frequently get kids writing about their garage bands here, for example. Such edits aren't vandalism, they're just the result of new editors who don't know any better. Friday (talk) 21:24, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

That's not what I was told at all. It is clearly stated that no one may post their own page, their own bio, etc. This is not a place for self-promotion no matter what. And does it not strike you as odd that this band seems so intent on covering up their history, six or seven other members and their producer? That just seems really strange.

Calendar starting on Monday

Since you asked, the reason why the weeks start on Monday is that User:212.202.10.69 unilaterally changed them, citing that according to the ISO 8601 calendar, weeks start on Monday. Instead of reversing the User's changes, I started a poll so that the Wikiproject Calendar community can settle the matter democratically. --Munchkinguy 22:27, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
