Article name changeThis article should be called Vesuvio Cafe and NOT Vesuvio's. That is just a nickname. As you can see from the official site for the establishment in the article the proper name is Vesuvio Cafe. Please change this article title! Thanks!

Create new categoryIf possible, you could please create a new Misplaced Pages category called: Category:Flavor of Love for the American VH1 reality television series called Flavor of Love.

There are a number of bookstore articles listed on Misplaced Pages and it seems fitting to have a bookstore infobox. Using a company infobox does not feel as accurate. A bookstore infobox would work better. Here are some of the bookstore Misplaced Pages articles this new infobox could be used for: http://en.wikipedia.org/City_Lights_Bookstore http://en.wikipedia.org/Shakespeare_and_Company_(bookshop) http://en.wikipedia.org/Gotham_Book_Mart Thanks!216.3.118.200 (talk) 15:27, 15 July 2011 (UTC) Right changesWhat was this about, it showed up on my watchlist "changed rights for User:PumpkinSky from account creator, autopatrolled, confirmed user, file mover, reviewer and rollbacker to account creator, autopatrolled, file mover, reviewer and rollbacker (autoconfirmed)"?

Vandalism onlyHi there FOLEY, VASCO here, the last two IPs i reported (message with the same title, seen in this page still) still have not received their due, but that's cool, they have not acted since my report, but their actions were disruptive believe me. Now, found this: in Nélson Oliveira, "user" up to no good, has even managed to move the footballer's talkpage to another one he insists in creating. Well, at least he's only focused (obssessed?) with only one article, but it's vandalism ONLY! Attentively, happy weekend - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 23:50, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

SwisterTwister talk 08:03, 24 July 2011 (UTC)Question about socks and blocksHello there. At WP:Sockpuppet investigations/JimmyDarmodyRules you blocked sockmaster JimmyDarmodyRules (talk · contribs) for 72h. There is a new IP editor who I believe is the same person and currently editing the Falling Skies page. Is this allowed or considered getting around a block? (see contributions of 89.204.188.4 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and 89.204.194.140 (talk · contribs · WHOIS)). IP has removed some sourced ratings information just as sock Arrested Developer (talk · contribs) did here in a mass deletion (removing lots of other stuff, too). Sockmaster/socks were all deleting anything negative from the article, although now IP gives another reason. IP also removed redlinks , as did sock AllianceApprovedMagician (talk · contribs): . Just wondering about this. Thanks. --Logical Fuzz (talk) 23:47, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
Speedy deletion rationalesHi Gfoley, you have apparently sometimes speedily deleted article citing Not:essay as the reason; this is now being quoted as justification for using that as a valid speedy deletion rationale, which it is not. The discussion is taking place at User talk:SwisterTwister#Speedy deletion contested: Odorless colorless tasteless chemical poison in the worlds water supply. I have argued that in the two cited cases, there were actually other valid speedy deletion criteria, despite your citing not essay. Care to join the discussion?

This IP belongs to the range 125.115.0.0/16, which seems to be producing only spam and vandalism - purely disruptive. See almost no constructive edits, no danger of collateral damage.Jasper Deng (talk) 22:30, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Request to tag protected article for deletion or mergeHello. You put the protection on Haplogroup J1c3d (Y-DNA) and I was called to discuss the edit war war there. After some attempt to find a reason for this article to exist on the talk page, there seems to be very little support. Everything published about the subject can better be handled in Haplogroup J1c3 (Y-DNA). Or should this be called a merge proposal? Anyway, I can not tag the article, so I request that it be tagged.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 07:03, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
Reasons To Delete J1c3d (Y-DNA)
JohnLloydScharf (talk) 02:31, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
Had you looked at the talk page, you would have been disabused of that notion.

Just before you froze it, I tried to delete the offending sections. Then I called for it to be deleted. You jumped to a conclusion without ever looking at the article. If you do not care enough to look at the issues, perhaps you should not have become involved.
I have made the proposal now with the proper tag. After looking around I have done a similar thing at the related article Haplogroup J1c3 (Y-DNA). Both these articles have very little written about them which can be handled separately or differently from what can be said about Haplogroup J1 (Y-DNA), and so that parent article should be where all attention moves.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 07:37, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Difference between my edit and page shownHave worked as R&D engineer with LCDs for over 10 years. Did make major changes (improvements in my opinion) to the artcle on Liquid Crystal Displays a few days ago. However, these changes have not yet been incorporated in the text. They only show up when looking at its revision history. What is the procedure ? Is there a compulsory review by somebody knowledgeable ? Thanks for clarification.

What you did was an act of deliberate vandalism as far as I'm concerned.Speedy deleting in the middle of debate? To prove a point? It utterly sickens me. You've totally abused the speedy rule, and have abused Misplaced Pages and it's supposed reliance on debate. For what? Why? Give me one reason? Outrageous.

Requested review of your '2011 London riots' keep decisionI've expanded my argument, and will also put a link from the discussion page of the main Misplaced Pages page (seeing as its presence there was the eventual reason for giving the keep decision). Deletion review for 2011 London riotsAn editor has asked for a deletion review of 2011 London riots. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.

Pontiac stationPlease see the new article Pontiac Transportation Center (2011) and the old Pontiac, Michigan (Amtrak station) which has been converted into a redirect. Should the old one have been moved or are there two different structures? If there are two locations we should retain the old for historical resons. If there is just one, the title should just have been correctly moved. And why the disambiguation (2011). You know more about American railway station articles than I do.

what is the point of this action?Hi, in your edit summary for recent edit / protect action you wrote, "slow-moving edit-war. Both sides please discuss on talk." I find this bizarre. Why would you write that and how does it help? I have ALWAYS used the talk page, and have had an IP that wither writes single sentences and RVs or RVs without a response. What would you have me do? Is there an policy or essay on what to do in this situation when the other user is really not interested in talking and edit wars for months? What am I missing. I was previously admonished on the account by Imzadi 1979 and he would provide no clear guidance either but was quite sure what I was doing was an edit war. Understand, I don't want to edit war, I want to talk to the other user, but when the don't talk I don't see what else the options are. Please, enlighten me. 0 (talk) 20:07, 15 August 2011 (UTC) (edited (with strikeout): just noticed that you full protected the page. 0 (talk) 20:53, 15 August 2011 (UTC)) The Signpost: 15 August 2011
