I just check the page and saw the comment trimmed. I ran the website through google's translator the website says what the posted said, exactly the way he did. Now, I don't know if the site's reliable or not, but since the statement is verified, I put it back in. If you feel like it should be pulled out again, no problem. Just giving you a heads up. _{Naluboutes,Nalubotes} 17:24, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

I see you removed the translation with no explanation, then archived it, not sure what's up with that, but, like I said on my first post, if you want to pull it, then that's fine. To answer your question, I'm not the orginal poster of that comment. I merely translated it. I have no stake or interest in that article other than the fact that I saw it mentioned on the BLP board.

I didn't plan to add it in the artcle, just translate it, and if it was wrong, pull it out entirely. Thanks _{Naluboutes,Nalubotes} 13:26, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Klapa Fa Lindo

Hello Off2riorob! (do you miss me?) I can see that you are quiet busy. When you get some free time could you please review Klapa Fa Lindo (it has to be reviewed by someone other than its creator). Sir Floyd (talk) 00:55, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Jokes

Thanks for maintaining a sense of humor while editing. Much appreciated. I don't see anything wrong with doing a copy-edit with a friendly edit summary. But edit warriors might feel differently. ChildofMidnight (talk) 01:12, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks CoM, I was hoping to reveal the silly-ness of the situation, it is better than making reports, the whole issue is totally disturbing the wiki in general. Off2riorob (talk) 01:14, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes, jokes are important. Sir Floyd (talk) 01:22, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Floyd, I am not much of an article reviewer but your article looks real nice. It is well cited and well written, what more can I say.Off2riorob (talk) 01:24, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I was trying to be funny but I think my timing was wrong. Hmmmmmm......sorry-Off2riorob. Anyway I do think a sense of humour is important. Sir Floyd (talk) 01:32, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Your totally OK to make jokes or whatever you want here Floyd, very welcome indeed. Off2riorob (talk) 01:34, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Fine, be like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pmstables (talk • contribs) 19:28, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I have responded, you have to do a search by ] or ] some variations but she pops up wuite a bit when discussing his death. I replied at the thread. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 16:49, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Popular opinion is against me. I think it should be included, as such I would've removed any prods on the page. I have therefore taken the liberty of Nominating to AFD with a Keep vote to avoid useless procedure. Please fell free to review the changes and comment ]

BLP/NPOV 2010

I believe we share a common goal with respect to that rather complex matrix of policy. Note: Twice I have seen experienced Wikipedians (at NPOVN and AN/I) say there was nowhere to get a ruling on such-and-such a thing in that complex. :-) (smiling but not joking)

Perhaps in 2010 some new paths of addressing BLP/NPOV may be discovered. I suspect I will see Off2riob on that road — whichever direction we're traveling. LoL Cheers and Happy New Year (a bit early)...
-- Proofreader77 20:05, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

A very happy new year to you too Proofreader. It is complicated npov blpn wprs and so on. the best imo is common sense . Off2riorob (talk) 20:14, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank You

Thank you Off2riorob for the welcome message. I appreciate the thought to send a welcoming message. I have recently moved here, United States and have had experience with other Wiki sites, so figured, jump in here at English Misplaced Pages. Though most wikies, in general, have the same policies and guidelines, I find that each is just a little different on what is accepted and what is not. That combined with my grammar skills, I have a tendency to cause confusion, both for me, and the people that read my posts. Thanks for understanding, and Happy New Year.

3RR warning on Roman Polanski

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing at Roman Polanski‎. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. --Tombaker321 (talk) 22:44, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

John Rosatti

Ok, but he is a convicted felon, he has links to the Columbo crime family. I have posted the sources at BLPN an RSN considers the VV articl ok, as I have posted. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:20, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes thanks for the detail as regards the legal issues and the Polanski retrial, I am of the opinion that a retrial would be fraught with danger and that the authorities would never risk it. It is actually a very interesting case for me in respect of the extradition request, Britain has now got an extradition with the USA but there is some kind of deal where USA guarantees not to give the death sentence as in the UK we are against that.

Well, there's no reason to blank the article without creating the redirect, and it strikes me as a bad idea to trash the longstanding, properly sourced version that uses the name the subject is usually identified by in favor of a version just created by an SPA that's dominated by promotional writing and, on closer examination, isn't well-sourced. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 22:04, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

I've redirected the new/alternate article to the original; after checking back through the edit history, the "new" version incorporates material from text her publicists tried to insert into the original article last summer, and I suspect the alternate article comes from the publicists as well, with all the related COI, NPOV, and RS problems you'd expect. Note, for example, the edit summary and text here, especially the identical laundry list of photographers she claims to have worked with. . Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 22:28, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

We don't need a talk page discussion to deal with sockpuppets of COI-admitting spammers. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 21:37, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Well that is up to you, have you filed a sock puppet investigation or is it just an accusation and coi is an essay. Looks like a content dispute to me. Off2riorob (talk) 21:39, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Significant portions of identical text have been added by four different accounts (one an IP); the first batch of edits were made by an account claiming to be Shimizus publicist/management. WP:DUCK. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 21:52, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, the content is not controversial or derogatory or potentially damaging to a living person is it. Some of it could stay and some of it could go. Off2riorob (talk) 21:55, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Off2riorob. Because you participated in Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Juan Manuel Rodriguez (writer), you may be interested in the rename discussion at Talk:Juan Manuel Rodriguez (writer)#Requested move. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 18:22, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Ophélie Bretnacher

Thank you Off2riorob for your welcome, 3 weeks ago, Happy new year and I hope you will forgive me for being rude. I knew nothing about the rules of Misplaced Pages ... and thank you now for your compliment. This is the result of the combined work of Wikipedians, it's not me alone.

And now that I have a new english text, what must I do ? --Raymondnivet (talk) 22:07, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

You weren't ever rude to me Raymond and your edits were all in good faith. As for recreating the article with the new situation, Hell in a bucket is a creator of articles and has much more experience in that field than me, I suggest you ask him about the best way to do that and the possibilities of success. Off2riorob (talk) 22:13, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Tavc

You said he should have been warned before being blocked. He was warned. He ignored the warning. Three weeks might be a little excessive, but that was the admin's decision. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 00:29, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't see that, it is a meaningless news fluff. Off2riorob (talk) 13:28, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Tinsel Korey

Thank you for your reply. However, given that there are such "rumors" (I do not in any way believe them to be rumors, but never mind) or "allegations", if you want, should they then not at least be mentioned? I never deemed wikipedia to be some type of mere "publicity index". Those "allegations" (they are reasonably accepted in Indian circles) are very serious. And keeping even any reference of wikipedia would severely skew the article. However, I could rephrase everything so that it merely reports that these "rumors" exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by D is for... (talk • contribs) 17:59, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Something else: The phrase "Much of it at best irrelevant to the subject's profession" is incredibly racist bullshit! Assuming the fake identity of an ethnicity that you do not belong to for personal financial gain and exploitation of said ethnicity is not "irrelevant"! (From the talk page; and yes I know that you didn't write that) —Preceding unsigned comment added by D is for... (talk • contribs) 18:02, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

If I was you I wouldn't bother, the content is imo of no added value to the encyclopedia, ask yourself..if this disputed controversial content is not on wikipedia will anyone miss it, no they won't. Off2riorob (talk) 18:07, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/File:Chris Paul Neil.jpg

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/File:Chris Paul Neil.jpg, to Misplaced Pages. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Thank you for being the only person that helped me in the Carmen Miranda issue and did not went on accused me of things. Also thank you for your neutral input on the situation, and your kind comments.

My pleasure, allow me to suggest to you, that is the end of that for a fair while, you and me need to accept that thats sometimes how the wiki works, any continued shopping of this issue will be looked on badly, take a look around and enjoy something else for a few months, regards to you Tacv.

I invite you for a charming tour of my devasted country where I live, France, lunch and housing included for a few days.

AfD nomination of David Littman (historian)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is David Littman (historian). We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Misplaced Pages:Notability and "What Misplaced Pages is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/David Littman (historian). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:11, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Stanislaw Tyminski

re: Stanislaw Tyminski living biography - discussion

So I see you decided to reinstate the discussion post based on your Google translation of an untrue and slandering text of Mrs. Tyminski that she comes from a poor province of China and she did not speak English?

You are a malicious person that does not recognize slander. Maybe your wife was poor and her English was primitive when you met her and now you judge others by the same standards.

You live no choice but escalation of this issue to higher level. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.35.228.18 (talk) 08:50, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Because the content was valid under BLP. There's nothing there that isn't on tons of other people's articles, nothing that would denonte a "security risk". --TheTruthiness (talk) 03:12, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Z-Chen

Hello Off2riorob. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Z-Chen, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: At one point he was signed to a label with an article; credible assertion of notability sufficient for A7. Thank you. GedUK  11:06, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
