Your Article

I just wanted you to know that you are one of the very few Wikipedians that responded in such a nice and thoughtout manner when I nominated your article for deletion. It really was a pleasure working with you. I will see what I can do for your article, I will try to clean it up tomorrow. Yours, Philip Gronowski ^Contribs 04:37, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not post rude comments about other users. That was uncalled for to say "yay" because you thought I was banned from Wikipedia. I never sign with a link. Please DO NOT put such uncivil comments like that on Wikipedia again. Thanks, bobsmith319.

So you were not banned? Oh, I see. I should put you back on my watch page then. I also took the liberty of fixing my wiki page so it did not seem like you were talking about the section "Your article." I gave you your own section.--WhereAmI 04:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't bite newcomers

Your message to User talk:69.181.229.140 was quite rude, and rather uncalled for. The user clearly hasn't read Wikipedia policies on NPOV and original research, but that doesn't give you the right to abuse him. Please read Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers, and in the future, try to be a bit nicer to what are clearly newbies. In addition, see Wikipedia:Vandalism for more civil ways to respond to good-willed vandalism. Chairman S. Talk ^Contribs 06:41, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"AHSS selection of teachers is very poor, they choose anyone who will accept a low pay and this has affected the students a lot. An example would be the Chemistry teacher who currently teaches in AHSS grades 9 to 12, she is sexist, plays favorites, discriminates, puts her students down and makes the students feel stupid for asking questions. Some teachers can't even speak, let alone spell proper English while they teach in the SAT or IGSE streams. This school was one of the best and now its reputation is ruined and the school administration is crippled. A bad choice for your daughter or son."

Quit obviously, that is good willed vandalism.--WhereAmI 06:47, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good-willed probably wasn't the best term to use, however, judging by his edit summary ("As a current graduate of the school I've updated the school reputation and the inside scoop of how the school has been running, hiring inexperienced and deranged teachers."), the user is probably fairly young, and was not deliberately meaning to ruin the credibility of Wikipedia. Instead, he/she seems to simply not understand that the material they wrote was unsuitable for an encylopaedia. Thus, one should assume good faith, and explain to the user the relevant policies, and how to contribute to Wikipedia constructively, instead of simply attacking them as you did. Chairman S. Talk ^Contribs 06:53, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I never judge by the summary until after I read the changes. To me, that summary is a duck down way of trying to get through the users and have the page permanent. They knew what they were doing.--WhereAmI 06:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers:

"Remember Hanlon's Razor. Behavior that appears malicious to experienced Wikipedians is more likely due to ignorance of our expectations and rules. Even if you're 100% sure that someone is a worthless, no-good, internet troll, a vandal, or worse, conduct yourself as if they're not. By being calm, interested, and respectful, your dignity is augmented, and you further our project."

My point is this: the user was not a known vandal. From the evidence at hand, it simply appeared that he/she did not understand Wikipolicy. You should not have made the assumption that he/she was a malicious vandal, and until you knew better, you should have treated him/her with a measure of civility or politesse. Of course you should have warned him/her, but you should have used a template from Wikipedia:Vandalism. Notice how none of those templates resort to personal attacks? Chairman S. Talk ^Contribs 07:04, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Timbaland

The Timbaland page is now semi-protected, so IPs cannot contribute. If something like this happens in the future, you can request semi-protection for the page at WP:RFPP, or report the vandal to WP:AIV (if they've continued to vandalise after they've been given a final warning). ... discospinster _talk 18:56, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with WhereAmI - the youtube video does not verify that plagarism took place. All we can say with certainty is that it is being reported. - O^O 22:45, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Warning

Long absence from Wikipedia and I come across this warning from User:FG90 Help Me clear why this showed up.--WhereAmI 04:03, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All I can say to that is... "huh." At this time, I don't see any reason this warning would apply to you, so I wouldn't worry too much. Let's see what the user who left it has to say for himself. – Luna Santin (talk) 04:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Update: User:FG90 admitted to just vandalizing on his talk page and I was hoping to get this "warning" transferred over to him.--WhereAmI 23:11, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the fake warning and added FG90 (talk • contribs) to my watchlist. Don't worry about it. :) ➪HiDrNick! 23:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

bobsmith319

I've filed a RfC against him (I caught him removing the image again, and when I left a note on his talk page he became very hostile, but then, you know how that goes). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Bobsmith319 if you would come comment, that'd be appreciated. Kuronue 20:32, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused. Why did you endorse the "I don't see why there should be nude images in the article" viewpoint after going to the talk page and agreeing with the consensus that there should be a nude image? Was this a typo, or has your mind changed? I mean, you can endorse whatever you want, I'm just utterly confused here. Kuronue 23:52, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's alright. Basically you sign below the statement you most agree with; I signed in the section affirming that I've dealt with this guy in the past and he's a problem. Kuronue 20:49, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:AlMSNBC.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:AlMSNBC.JPG. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --19:57, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your August 3rd deletions on Xbox One game list

Both of the titles you removed ARE coming to the system, which a quick google search would have told you. Instead of deleting games because there are no refs, might I suggest googling the games first and determining this before hand, and then adding the refs yourself.

Both games have been re-added. Please be more careful in the future as this adds unnecessary work for the people trying to keep the page up to date.

Thanks. --Mordecairule 21:16, 4 August 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mordecairule (talk • contribs)

I removed games that went months without a source. Sorry, focus more on finding references before they're deleted for being unreferenced. A simple Google search did not return results for those games, Nero looked to be Wii U and Knight Squad official website only shows Steam Early Access. WhereAmI (talk) 21:23, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Mordecairule Forgot to ping you. Also secondary note: There were a lot of games that I have already went through and found more information on, please spend more time finding information for the unreferenced games instead of crying when they're deleted for not being referenced. WhereAmI (talk) 21:27, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So no google result returns when you google "Knight Squad Xbox One", or "Nero Xbox One"? It's pretty obvious you didn't put much effort into the search's before deleting them since literally the first link on the search confirms Xbox One release. --Mordecairule 23:19, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

@Mordecairule The games sat months without a source, where were you then? I gave it a quick Google then deleted it. The burden of finding a source does not fall on anyone except those who want to keep the information. See Wikipedia:Content_removal#Unsourced_information for more information. WhereAmI (talk) 00:06, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, Looks Like You've Got a History

So I see other people are annoyed with your reverting their edits just like I am.

And your comment about how my "source was bad" and that Sleeping Dogs on the One could "still be a thing" was pretentious and stupid.

Well, guess what? That source I cited was more than valid and if you'd taken the time to look at the link you'd see it has the official announcement image in the article itself. The game is clearly coming to the One and the PS4. Now I have to add it again when it was perfectly acceptable before you removed it.

But hey, you obviously know everything already, so why bother doing a little research? Amirite?

Next time I'd really like you to PM me or something so I can discuss with you whether or not you need to remove one of my edits. I've been doing just fine on this page, if you check my history. I don't need you butting in.

Thanks in advance.

TenderBranson23 (talk) 15:09, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@TenderBranson23 Well, lets start at the beginning. I reverted the edit of PS4 and Xbox One editions because of this guideline: Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Relevant text: "Wikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors." About an hour ago, when I assume you say more news of the official announcement, the game became public. My edit in reverting the addition of the game was done yesterday. What would you call information before the official announcement? For me, it's rumors and speculation, which as sourced above is not allowed on Wikipedia, and that's why I removed the game from the list. WhereAmI (talk) 16:04, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@TenderBranson23 I see your edit was reverted again and given a known reliable source. I would recommend reading Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. WhereAmI (talk) 16:07, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, it's pretty clear you don't need me here.

Have fun.
