Help please

{{helpme}}How does Wiki deal with people who think they own a page and are the only ones entitled to enter information?News4a2 (talk) 07:16, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

That depends on the specific situation. WP:OWN is the relevant policy, but can you explain what the issue is? You don't need to use {{helpme}} again, I have your talkpage on my watchlist now. // roux   07:26, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Actually, that page helps alot. Thank you!News4a2 (talk) 07:49, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

No problem. // roux   08:06, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Edit warring and 3RR

Please stop your edit warring in the Physician assistant aeticle. You are in violation of the Three revert rule. It's time to take this back to the talk page, and let others decide what the consensus is. I will restore the historical version until this is resolved. -- Tcncv (talk) 22:15, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Nomad2u001 can KMA

Nomad2u001 is a troll and has refused any legitimate discussion. The troll was the first to break the three revert rule because the troll obviously wants its own opinion and no balance. I'll stop when the troll stops deleting my SOURCED information. The troll's already been barred from editing previously because of its shenanigans.News4a2 (talk) 12:24, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

I strongly suggest you remove that comment. Misplaced Pages does not allow personal attacks. // roux   17:43, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

It's not a personal attack. I'm describing the actions of a troll who keeps deleting valid, sourced information I've placed in an article and who has refused to explain why or discuss the situation. I don't consider continuous, repetitious deletions of my contributions professional by any means, just troll-like behavior.News4a2 (talk) 21:01, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Guess what? Nomad2u001 was a troll, a sockpuppet with a lot of aliases who's now been indefinitely banned. diff.News4a2 (talk) 01:02, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

December 2008

Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Cease your edit warring, reverting without comment or discussion, and your personal attacks (above) immediately. ZimZalaBim 14:17, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

In response, I'll refer you to . I didn't start this war and I don't intend on backing down.

One more edit like this, combined with your stated intent (above) to continue with personal attacks, will get you blocked. Please try to contribute to this group project civilly. --ZimZalaBim 21:46, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

You're following me around, some kind of Misplaced Pages stalker because you don't like the information I placed on another page. Now, tell me, who's making this personal because it doesn't fit with your POV.News4a2 (talk) 21:50, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Believe me, you'll have trouble identifying any kind of POV I'm trying to push with regard to these articles. My edits at Industrial espionage are all within policy and properly noted in edit summaries. Your revert is not. I suggest you pause and read more about our various policies and guidelines here before you get yourself blocked. --ZimZalaBim 21:56, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Insulting other users isn't acceptable. Please read the policy on civility, go have a cup of tea, and calm down a bit. Please comment on content when in discussion on article talkpages, and not on contributors. Thanks. Everyone else, I suggest not continuing the interpersonal disputes here. Please discuss content on the article talkpage. Thanks. // roux   22:01, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

This is a courtesy notice that a thread has been started regarding you edits at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:News4a2. --ZimZalaBim 22:42, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Physician assistant - vote

Your vote is requested here. Thank you. -- Tcncv (talk) 01:59, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Talk:Physician assistant. Thank you. Bstone (talk) 15:15, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Sensitive information

Please don't post the putative IP address of a (usually) signed-in editor without good reason. An IP address may identify a user's employer or school; publically linking the user account to the IP may discourage their participation and encourage harassment.

Do not reveal an editor's IP address – or what you may think is an editor's IP address – unless it has a direct bearing on the discussion at hand. (Examples of an appropriate mention might include cases where the user has logged out to make personal attacks, where the user regularly alternates between logged-out and logged-in editing and is involved in a dispute, or where a user has logged out to engage in edit warring or evade the 3RR.)

You will be blocked if you make further attempts to reveal a user's IP address without very good reason. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 16:29, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
