HIStory
Hi
As you monitor the Michael Jackson page, could I refer you to the HIStory article. An editor called User:Appropiate, who has also been editing anonymously as User:81.106.165.39 and User:81.106.166.184 is constantly violating WP:NPOV in regard to this article, despite numerous warnings. I have reverted twice and informed him of WP:3RR, and also WP:NPA as he did in his edit summary. As an admin, could you watch this for a few days as I don't want to voilate WP:3RR myself. Cheers Funky Monkey 19:52, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Could you please also read the comments he has made to me on the Talk:HIStory page and perhaps comment on them also. Thanks Funky Monkey 19:56, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Hopefully the message I left on the HIStory talk page straightened him out. (BTW, what's a "gorm"?) android79 20:19, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- ThanksFunky Monkey 20:59, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- He's at it again as an anonymous editor now. I can't be bothered any more, I'm getting seriously fed up with POV pushers and vandals, I'm taking a breakFunky Monkey 00:05, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
- ThanksFunky Monkey 20:59, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Android79, I apologise about the past few days, I have explained on HIStory's, talk page - though I have changed my mind, I staying. About your change to my extension to HIStory's "Criticism & Controversy" - I understand WP:V (I shall verify it with sources) and WP:NOR (I shall provide reliable links to prove it's not just my conception), but WP:NPOV I do not understand. I know what the latter regulation is all about, but I don't know what violates this in the writing, I carefully tried to keep it neutral - perhaps you could tell me what parts concern you on HIStory's talk page. Thanks, and sorry again. By the way I'm not sure what a gorm is - someone called me it once and I liked the word, but I shouldn't have said it to Funky Monkey, and I have since apologized and familiarized with wikipedia rules fr.Appropiate.

Article Page Needs Clean-up
Hi. Please take action as an admin and go to http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2006-03-02_Persian_people. I`d appreciate it if you can look into this.Zmmz 20:36, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not a cabal mediator; please ask one of them to handle this. android79 21:07, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Was I wrong?
If this was wrong, just let me know. I respect your opinion and peolpe were jsut fueling a fire there for no good reason.Gator (talk) 22:35, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- Works for me. I was thinking about doing the same thing. android79 22:39, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Iranian peoples
Iranian peoples. So please you add the dipute tag to that article, I can't. Thanks.Diyako Talk + 02:44, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
- Why can't you, and why should I? If you're revert warring over tags, please use WP:DR. android79 02:49, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
- Hello, thanks for your attention, I am just trying to stop attacks against Iranian articles by two or three contributers here, these are follow ups to these incidents mentioned here: Misplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-03-02 Persian people Looks like we have to start one for Iranian people soon.. it is very sad that we dont have an admin willing to take an action against these attacks, unless you are willing to do so, thank you --Kash 02:43, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
- Admins aren't content police. If he's not violating any policies that I can block him for, you need to just work out a compromise or use WP:DR. android79 02:49, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
As you can see my friend, at Misplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-03-02 Persian people, majority of users are against him, yet he is still going around, editing things, adding disputes, reporting me for vandalism for removing his actions!, etc etc! I am not sure what it takes to get someone blocked from Misplaced Pages my friend, but if you are not willing to help then, it is a real shame. Sadly I am not an expert on Misplaced Pages, yet, but as you are, I'd like to invite you to have a look and help out, Thank you. --Kash 03:06, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
- I don't see User:Diyako mentioned anywhere on the mediation page. android79 03:10, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

User 151.213.167.25
Just thought you should know that User:151.213.167.25 has broken the 3RR on the Jackson article. So far there is a consensus to keep 'Wacko Jacko' but that doesn't seem to stop User:151.213.167.25 from removing it--Count Chocula 00:34, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
- List it at WP:AN/3RR; I can't block him because I'm involved in the dispute. android79 00:36, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Marcyu blanked the warnings and your block notice from their discussion page. Crumbsucker 01:31, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
- If s/he continues to edit, we'll worry about it at that point. android79 02:02, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Is there an anti-stalking rule? Crumbsucker apparently has taken it upon himself to undo almost every edit I do on this site - no matter the subject. Marcyu 16:56, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Glenn Reynolds political orientation
Hi Android79. I notice that you removed my attempt to specify a political orientation for Glenn Reynolds's blog. This morning I modified a bunch of blogger articles and one was Reynolds. I inferred that he is a conservative commentator. You disagree with my "pigeonholing", a term that implies that I am trying to diminish Reynold's blog via framing. His blog is distinctly non-liberal and he very frequently takes conservative stances (although these are not always Republican stances) since this is an encyclopedia it is appropriate to attempt to describe things and thus I am allowed to add adjectives to his blog to inform readings of the subject. If you wanted to correct it to libertarian that would be okay -- conservatism and libertarianism are very similar. When did conservative become pejorative? Why are you police-ing this article? --Ben Houston 17:00, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- BTW one major problem I had with your response is that you cite Glenn Reynolds as the authority of his political orientation. That is not a NPOV source. Most intelligent political commentators are very good at rhetorical techniques and framing, thus it is important that Misplaced Pages doesn't become a slave to their "sensitivities". --Ben Houston 17:09, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Who said "conservative" was pejorative? I only removed it because it was inaccurate – you stated that you "inferred" he is a conservative, from what I don't know. Reynolds is pro-choice and supports gay rights, and has frequently described himself as having libertarian beliefs. I disagree that Reynolds is a POV source when it comes to his own political orientation, as long as it is stated in the right way. "Reynolds describes himself as a libertarian" would be an accurate, NPOV way of presenting that. Inserting the adjective "conservative" is not only inaccurate, it is original research, since you "inferred" that he is a conservative and that he runs a "distinctly non-liberal" blog. The reason I simply removed "conservative" rather than replacing it with "libertarian" is that I wanted to find a post on his blog in which he self-describes as a libertarian before making that assertion, so we would have verifiable information in the article.
I am not "policing" this article; I have it on my watchlist, saw some inaccurate information being added, and removed it. I resent your accusatory tone. android79 18:04, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Here is an analysis of Glenn Reynold's political orientation and decides that he does fit under the "conservative" big tent: . Here is an article Glenn wrote for Salon in which he is introduced as a "prominent conservative blogger": . He is also one of the stars featured on www.thoseshirts.com, where "conservative humor, superior quality, and professional artistry come together." Anyways, I'll leave the article as is. I stand behind my original addition, I was not adding "inaccurate information", although I will accept that it wasn't properly referenced. --Ben Houston 21:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Kirby Puckett
If you are able to update the Kirby Puckett article, please please include a picture of the catch and Jack Buck's soundbite of the home run. If I can be any help please don't be afraid to ask. I grew up watching him, and I balled like a baby last night when I found out. I felt like a fool, because I'm 26. But hey, guys like that are rare. --Leopold Samsonite
- I'm the same age, and I did the same thing. android79 13:28, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Kirby Puckett 2
Yes I know wikipedia is not a eulogy, I wasn't thinking at the time. I grew up in North Dakota, and now live in West Virginia. I never got to see him play in person, but I loved watching him on tv and listen to the games on the radio. --Leopold Samsonite
Kirby Puckett Image, and Baseball Wikicity
Android, it was good to hear from you over at my Baseball Wiki talk page. It's good to see you there, and I hope you have fun. Unfortunatly I don't have a Kirby Puckett image for you. Take care, Googie man 19:13, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Nominated...
Been nominated to be a Admin. Any advice ? Martial Law 00:31, 8 March 2006 (UTC) :)
Had a keypad error. Martial Law 00:32, 8 March 2006 (UTC) :(
- Well, based on the current tally, you should take what others are saying and use it as a learning experience. And, one non-RfA-related thing: if you make a typo, there's no need to announce it. Just fix it and let it be. I don't need or want to know about "keypad errors". android79 03:23, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- Can you place the WP:V on my listings, if it is not already there ? More and more magazines and the like are now going online, a good example is the magazine Popular Mechanics magazine. How does WP:V deal with a issue like that ? Martial Law 23:23, 8 March 2006 (UTC) :)
Got six more days to go on this. Imagine me as a Admin. Martial Law 23:23, 8 March 2006 (UTC) :)
Deletion of Successfactors page
Android79,
As someone new to Misplaced Pages, I find it quite surprising that you deleted the page we put up for my company, SuccessFactors. I would like to understand a little bit more about why you felt it appropriate to delete our work and what we can do to make it more palatable to you and others. The one note I did see included a reference to us as a Non-notable company (something I'm sure our 400 customers and 1.4 million users would be willing to argue with you about).
Please let me know how I can help provide more information about us to the ever growing community of people who are interested in knowing more.
Thanks, Max —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.181.237.186 (talk • contribs) .
- I deleted the article in accordance with the proposed deletion process. Someone nominated it for deletion because the article didn't meet our generally-accepted inclusion guidelines for articles on companies. Also, you should be aware that Misplaced Pages strongly discourages writing about yourself or your own endeavors. If you still feel that the deletion was in error, please bring it up at deletion review. android79 00:35, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi there - I got the pic on the Google Image Search. The original location is at http://zeppelin.blogdrive.com/images/Russell%20Lissack.jpg.
Tom Smith pic
Hi there - I only selected the 'wikipedia screenshot' option because there was nothing else that came remotely as near as that to what I meant.
My RfA
Hi Android. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to consider my RfA, which passed this morning, and for your kind words. If there's ever anything I can help you with, just ask; you know where to find me. ×Meegs 05:56, 11 March 2006 (UTC) |
Madea's Family Reunion
The persistant editor at this page seems to be using multiple IPs to avoid the 3RR. Crumbsucker 01:39, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- If I'm the one that blocks or protects or whatever, I'm sure this person will cry foul. Report at WP:AN, or, once the 3RR is actually broken, WP:AN/3RR. I'll continue to monitor the situation. android79 02:51, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- Just because other people revert to my edition, I'm automatically accused of using multiple IPs? Do you seriously think I'm looking at this page 24/7? Policeman of the Control Freak Misplaced Pages Editors 08:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- Yup, since the IPs all come from the same ISP in the same city. android79 17:50, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

User:161.74.11.24
I see you referted one of his edits removing a reference request. User is also doing this to Records and achievements by Michael Jackson. He is also continually removing warnings on his talk page despite being REPEATEDLY warned about this. Could you help? Funky Monkey 15:51, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- Well, it's a shared IP, so the person removing the warnings may not be "him", but we can assume it is one person continually reverting Records and achievements by Michael Jackson. Just continue reverting; it's certainly a valid request. android79 15:54, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Re: Jew (disambiguation)
It looks like Cecropia speedily deleted it. I reverted it because both an incomplete AFD and a PROD were placed there by an anonymous IP, which is pretty unusual. I may have been too quick with the rollback button on that one, but I generally distrust anything from an anonymous IP when it comes to deletion proposals. –Abe Dashiell 17:22, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- I generally distrust anything from an anonymous IP when it comes to deletion proposals. Yeah, I totally understand that. Looks like the situation resolved itself. Thanks! android79 17:31, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
3RR
Thank you for teaching me about the 3RR. I did not know that one. I have not violated it and will try not to. I am, of course, reverting the blanking done by one user who is blanking without discussion. I think you would agree that blanking is an act of vandalism, so citing the act as vandalism is not attacking someone. PoolGuy 17:49, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
I removed the picture
I hope you're happy now

It's not a generalization, in my country 12% of the population are , yet 44% of the prison population (almost 4 times) are . Futhermore the stereotypical black culture today (demonstrated by the screenshot of that crime game), is to idolize criminals "rappers".
