User Talk Archive 4

May I ask you to remove the ]-tag out of your user talk archive 4? Thanks in advance. Saxbryn 18:09, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Done. -- Steel 23:26, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

N-Ball...Deleted

Would you please explain why you deleted the page for N-Ball. I asked for a little bit of time to improve the site and you deleted it right away. I don't mean to get angry, but I'm very offended that you deleted this page that i was really trying to make good before I even had a chance to do so. --Luv2playtenis 06:19, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Has N-Ball been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works? -- Steel 12:05, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I just don't get it though. It's not like I'm advertising or anything. Sure, i may have put the cost of it, but i see that kind of stuff all the time. And as far as non-trivial, half the articles on wikipedia aren't trivial. Also, every other game has an article here, so why shouldn't this one. Because it's not that popular, or just because it's not your favorite. Don't you think that's a little biased. What can i do to make it an acceptable article, or are you just going to sit there vasting in the glory of the little power you have? --Luv2playtenis 17:38, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Note that "but that game has an article so this one should to" is not a valid reason to include this one. I repeat my original question: has N-Ball been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works? I.e. has anyone other than the creators ever written anything about this game? -- Steel 22:23, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

yes, they have, i just haven't had time to include them yet. hense me asking for more time. i have several reviews i can put in, and i'm not a creator of the game, i just thought it should have an article. if you had actually given me some time, you would have seen reviews and a source list --Luv2playtenis 02:32, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

hello? can you respond...i would really appreciate if you would at least explain in detail why you deleted the n-ball page, so i can explain in turn my rebuttles of the issue--Luv2playtenis 03:01, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm waiting for these sources. -- Steel 16:08, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry about this. I've not participated in an ArbCom before. - (Nuggetboy) (talk) (contribs) 23:40, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Neither have I, really. Don't worry about it though. -- Steel 23:41, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Template:Infobox_Philippine_High_School on deletion review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Template:Infobox_Philippine_High_School. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. { PMGOMEZ } 02:42, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

User:Mitsos

I am at my wits ends with this user, who as you know has been heavily engaged in editing Hrisi Avgi. If you look at the edit history of the article, he has made literally hundreds of edits. His style seems to be to make lots of small edits which together add bias to the article, flame anyone who resists him, and never let up. When he is blocked, he returns as soon as the block is over and more or less reverts to "his" last preferred version. I would respectfully say that in my opinion, bans on the user himself aren't going to work - he needs to be banned from editing this article otherwise he will gradually, over the course of time, turn it into propaganda for his personal beliefs. Perhaps if banned from editing this article, he would move on to edit something else on Misplaced Pages productively? It goes without saying, I hope, that if he was to be prevented from editing this article, I personally would be more than happy to step away from it. --SandyDancer 13:42, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Go to the incidents noticeboard, explain the situation to there and propose an article ban. Make sure to bring people's attention to Mitsos's block log, and that RfC from a few weeks ago. Try to use lots of diffs. -- Steel 18:26, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Will give the whole thing one more chance before doing so. Another user got involved and that has saved me pulling my hair out. --SandyDancer 18:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Mitsos has been edit warring again and has shown total disregard for WP:3RR. Relevant diffs:

1. Mitsos deletes any reference to a victim of assassination (Mallios) being a former torturer for a previous regime - diff.
2. SandyDancer finds reliable source (BBC News Online), and restores references to Mallios being a torturer - diff.
3. Mitsos reverts this to "accused of" wording - diff - first revert.
4. Michaelis Famelis restores - diff.
5. Mitsos reverts again to "accused of" wording - diff.
6. SandyDancer adds official source (Greek Embassy, LA Consulate website) and restores original wording with amends to reflect new, additional source - diff.
7. Mitsos reverts again - diff.
8. SandyDancer restores again - diff.
9. Mitsos reverts to essentially the same version a fourth time - diff.

I accept there may be a debate to be had on the talk page about sources - but Mitsos' starting position here was that he wanted factual information removed from the article - and when sources were presented, he adopted a new entrenched position in line with the Greek nationalist / neo-nazi agenda pushes constantly on Misplaced Pages. I accept you may not want to be involved in this - but without an admin watching this, all articles Mitsos edits will constantly be subject to a barrage of edits by him seeking to push his POV. --SandyDancer 23:02, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Misplaced Pages:Abuse_reports/208.54.95.129.

A few days ago you deleted an abuse report that ended up it with the wrong filepath. Since then, the actual report in the correct filepath has been deleted. The reason given is that this page was created by a banned user. Several of us have worked on the page. I don't know if it was created by a banned user, but my account User:HardConcrete has been blocked and the page has been deleted. The page is meant to fix the problem that there are many editors who edit from this IP and that they shouldn't all be confused with a banned user who also edits from this IP address. If you could undelete that page I would greatly appreciate it. I've long edited under this IP and its only in the last few months that problems have arisen. I created an account with the hopes that this would get me past those problems, but that's now been blocked. My hope is that we will get Admins to understand the significance of this IP address. Thanks in advance for your help. --208.54.95.129 20:54, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk to User:Kchase02, or something. -- Steel 20:59, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

seth and willie fred

Why was the Seth and Willie Fred page deleted? It is a real band and their page was deleted after I uploaded it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lightning7smith (talk • contribs)

There was no indication that this band is notable enough for inclusion within an encyclopedia. -- Steel 22:19, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Time to unprotect 770 Eastern Parkway?

I think it's time to unprotect this article. Enough time has gone by and the vandals are gone. Shlomke 18:03, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Looks like it's already been done. -- Steel 22:20, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
