A Place To Bury Strangers talk

I'm so impressed with the efficiency of the Wikipedians I've encountered since newly joining as a contributor. Looking at your history, I can't help but notice how wonderfully zealous you are. I love it.

Robert Gilbert talk

Thanks for cleaning up; didn't know what was going on there. Tony 04:42, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I wrote the article in its entirety, except for review by User:Petaholmes, hoping that this would prompt the writing of other articles on major scientists in the field. There didn't seem to be a disambiguation problem then, but the mechanism was added later by someone. Thanks. Tony 06:59, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Adrian Lamo

Thanks for taking the time to revert vandalism to the Adrian Lamo article.

The difference is the non-domestic league games which shouldn't be in the table. The table clearly states domestic league only. Kingjeff 01:34, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Why....

Why did you delete the article about Ridgecrest, North Carolina? Just curious, so I can know why exactly you deleted it. TheMisunderstoodMisfit 17:58, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah. Okay. Thanks for replying! TheMisunderstoodMisfit 18:48, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

RE:Harry Spencer

I'm sorry, but it does not conform to the naming conventions (at least, I think it doesn't, but I don't read the naming conventions often). if you feel I was incorrect, feel free to start a discussion on the talk page. Thanks! —« ANIMUM » 15:01, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Happy Rhodes' vocal range

You deleted the reference to Happy Rhodes' 4 octave vocal range from the introduction of the article. Her wide range is mentioned in every article and interview about her, and unlike similar claims for other singers is actually confirmed with measurements. K8 fan 05:18, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for checking and reverting. I know "original research" is frowned upon in WP, but I'd like to contribute by measuring claimed vocal ranges of various singers. K8 fan 06:56, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Warning Vandals

Hiya, and thanks for reverting vandalism on the Daniel Radcliffe article. However, please don't forget to warn vandals that what they're doing is wrong, and unaccepted on Wikipedia. Cheers, Lradrama 08:21, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for giving me the 20 seconds

to correct my mistake on Danieal Manning. We hit save at the same time.

Dudette. And stop doing that so fast. It was as if you were there at the page watching waiting for a mistake to happen. And I am exhausted and hot and prone to wiki paranoia under those situations!  :)

Reverting my talk page

Thanks for that. Unfortunatly I checked the history to see what the IP said (have an ex-girlfriend who stalks me on here *rolls eyes*) so now Harry Potter is pretty much ruined :D SGGH ^speak! 17:17, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my page. The user was a vandal and found me (I was reverting most of his blanking). Thanks anyway! --esanchez _{(Talk 2 me or Sign here)} 04:12, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Reverting War on Terrorism page

Today you reverted a change i made to the "war on Terrorism" article. I do not have a problem with this but as you have experience on editing and fixing up articles could you please take a look at the article and see if you can solve a few of its problems?

The biggest concern which many people can not agree on is the "list of combatants". For example currently it does not list the countries of France and Germany even though they have troops on the ground fighting in one of the combat zones.

Surely it is better to remove incorrect information sooner rather than later, instead of leaving an unfair and to be frank insulting list of combatants. Casulties on that info box were also incorrect.

If you can do some changes id be very greatful, i posted on the discussion page about 2 weeks ago that i was going to remove the list. Someone agreed it needed to be changed and no one objected.

declined Speedy

I do not see how speedy a7 applied to the Regulations for hard hats article, as it is not one of the classes of articles listed under WP:CSD A7. (nor does G11, for it has a GFDL license). I'm not sure its encyclopedic, but I think editing will possibly take care of that. if you think otherwise, AFD is of course the place to see what the consensus thinks. DGG (talk) 19:18, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity...

..why did you revert User talk:71.232.176.63? Marc ^Talk 01:31, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for reverting the vandalism to my talk page. :) IrishGuy ^talk 02:20, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Find A Grave template

Hi,

I see that you have deleted a lot of occurences of the template {{Find A Grave}}, which User:Pschemp deleted.

This template was in use in quite a few articles' external-links section., and in my view it was valid to have it there, so I've contested its deletion and restored it.

Until this discussion is over, could you please revert your edits, so that we don't lose the information in the template calls? --Alvestrand 05:09, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree that this was a big annoyance, hitting 11 articles in my watchlist. You could have at least converted the template into a simple link, rather than just deleting it. I have no idea why an innocuous but useful template was deleted in the first place. Hal Jespersen 15:53, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I did not check the content or context of the link before it was deleted, I merely saw a broken template link and assumed that it was because the link was unnecessary rather than because of the format of the template. Sorry. Bobo. 16:40, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. It turns out that a generous system administrator restored the template this morning and it was relatively simple to use the undo command on the 11 articles. Hal Jespersen 17:28, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

The template exists - Pschemp hasn't nominated it for deletion after I restored it, so in theory, it's stable. The only way I can figure out which articles you touched is by perusing your edit history - and I suspect that you're better at scripts'n'bots than I am. --Alvestrand 13:03, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Don't forget.... --Alvestrand 17:31, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! :)

It's so much better late than never, dear Bobo - so I can't possibly miss the chance to visit you and thank you in person for the beautiful wishes... and to share the last of the cake with you! :) Thank you so much, my friend! Love, Phaedriel - 05:31, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Find a grave removal

Why did you remove [[Template:Find A Grave]] from Shoeless Joe Jackson? Miss Mondegreen talk  07:27, August 3 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Containerization

Hi!

You rolled back an anon's edits to Containerization and Talk:Containerization. While his edits to the article were poorly formed and seemed to indicate a lack of understanding of how Wikipedia works, it seems like he's genuinely trying to make the article better and more NPOV. Removing his perfectly valid comments on the talk page (and especially doing so using rollback, rather than providing a reason in the edit summary) seems quite harsh. I've reinstated his edit to the talk page.

Thanks! kmccoy (talk) 03:04, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

English Cricketers

Well done on doing those 'A's Blythed had done boxes for. He's determined to cover every English first class player who doesn't already have an article as you probably know. He and I recently completed a long list of Bangladeshi players and I thought I might be alone in helping him with the English players so I'm delighted to see your contribution there! Nick mallory 04:11, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I am also delighted that you have chosen to help contribute with mine and Nick's project. I will also post articles that I create onto your tak page so if you decide to carry on expanding these articles you can. Thanks for your help. 02blythed 20:12, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I will put the links to the articles I create onto your talk page as well as Nick's if I forget to put them onto yours. 02blythed 20:49, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

As said previously I will add new cricketer articles onto your talk page once they are created. If I forget I am sorry but they will be on nick's talk page though. 02blythed 21:24, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. This editors contributins nedn't be automatically reverted, but the overwhelming majority of them have been unhelpful.

wikibreak

Unfortunately I have to go on a long wikibreak. There are projects in the outside world that need to be addressed. This will take a long time for it to be sorted out. I do not expect it to be resolved until at least the New Year but realistically I do not expect the project to be complete until Febuary or March if not potentially later. In fact I do not have an exact time scale all I know is that it will take a long time to complete. I do fully intend to come back to wikipedia and carry on with the English cricketers project. Bye Bobo192 see you when I come back 02blythed 11:37, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks I hope when I come back I will be fully refereshed and ready to create articles. 02blythed 11:42, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Gates (Berkshire cricketer)

I'm afraid that I can't help with Mr Gates. I suspect that he is one of Blackjack's additions to the redlinks page, along with most of the other 18th and 19th century players. The only cricketers that I have added to the page are in the 20th century section. JH (talk page) 07:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Railtrack article

Hello, I was wondering if you could keep an eye on the Railtrack article. I suspect a annon user (User:80.58.205.33) who repeatedly added his own views and comments then vandalised the article, has returned as User:80.58.205.44 and User:80.58.205.44 who has repeatedly inserted a link to a newspaper article that irrelevant to the article. I have asked the user to stop putting in the link, but he has so far ignored my requests. Thanks, Danielnez1 14:56, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok thank you! Danielnez1 15:03, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Winans family

21:12, 21 August 2007 Bobo192 (Reverted edits by 70.176.109.143 (talk) to last version by 70.108.118.206)
As an explanation, the above is useless. It just says what you did (which is obvious anyway and doesn't require explanation.)
It doesn't say why you did it.
I know why you did it (the addition is irrelevant), but I imagine that newer contributors have no idea. This is evidenced by the fact that 70.176.109.143 and particularly Mastariale21 (who is a brand new user) have gone to quite some effort to restore and improve it. (Mastariale21 spent over an hour on it.)
Although strongly tempted to revert it all myself (just like you did), I'm loath to discourage a new user by doing this. So instead I've attempted to make it seem more relevant ... Your thoughts? Cheers, Pdfpdf 03:06, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Though I simply reverted the edits made by this anonymous user, as you go on to state, the article did in itself need lots of cleanup which I felt I wasn't able to do by myself, knowing little about the subject matter. Thank you very much for taking this job on yourself. Hopefully this kind of incident will not happen too often from here on. Bobo. 03:10, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I still think it's irrelevant; I know very little about professional basketball, but I do know it has nothing to do with gospel music!
I'm afraid this sort of incident happens quite frequently, particularly with new users. I'm going through another one at the moment with Matt Bianco. Cheers, Pdfpdf 03:19, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

For defending my page whilst I was away. It was only a matter of time befor ehtey were blocked, I was thinking. Agasin, my thanks to you sirrah! :) - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 04:26, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

William Oates

Hi Bobo. I have stuck a 'Prod' on your William Oates article because there is a second article on the same chap under the title William F. Oates that I thought had a bit more info in. I've carried across to the William F. Oates article the stuff that you had that the other article didn't, but the joined article is still more substantially Nick Mallory's than yours. I hope you don't mind too much, but I think Oates is probably a bit obscure to warrant two articles! Kind regards. Johnlp 22:31, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

I was just going to let the prod process take its course, which will leave your Oates piece hanging around until Wednesday evening next before it gets culled. I think your article was probably the original of the two: Nick Mallory probably created the other when he was doing his large-scale push on Yorkshire cricketers, and though Oates was mostly a Derbyshire player, he had a couple of games for Yorkshire in 1956. Johnlp 07:19, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Great Northern War

Exactly why do you try to remove valid information from the article? --88.114.242.180 17:53, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Why?

How do IP user pages work? 67.175.105.209 19:26, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I put most of it together after I messaged you, thanks. 67.175.105.209 20:02, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

revert to Seasoned trade line?

Is there a reason why you reverted my changes? I added references for several facts that were marked as needing verification, and rewrote several confusing paragraphs.

Please let me know if you see any problems, rather than just reverting. Thanks. 24.91.134.90 02:53, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Either Firefox or Wikipedia is acting funny--line breaks keep getting deleted when I "Show Preview", hence the extra lines of diff.

No worries, and thanks for the re-revert. 24.91.134.90 03:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

yes, like just now, sigh... 24.91.134.90 03:17, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I think it's a Firefox issue. It seems to be word-wrapping the text (by adding extra newlines) in the textarea, for no good reason. No problem in Opera. Old build, so time to upgrade, I guess.24.91.134.90 03:28, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Cricket pix reversion

What a hero you are! Thank you. No more grim pictures of the Moomintrolls on all our cricket bio pages.  ;-) Johnlp 19:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

At the risk of getting into hagiography (!), I'd say getting to 45,000 edits was pretty noteworthy too! You are too modest, my friend. Johnlp 20:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Boccolini

Just to let you know Alessandro Boccolini has just signed for U.S. Ivrea Calcio (Serie C2). Here is a source (in Italian): [1]. --Angelo 22:46, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it started about two weeks ago, in any case the signing was announced just yesterday, so he did not play a single match yet. --Angelo 01:00, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Reverting

Some of your reverts at organ (anatomy) have been to a vandalized version. There's no point in reverting an anons vandal edit if it's just going back to one of their former anon vandal edits, is there? Please be sure to check what you are reverting back too, and take a quick look at the recent history and page itself to ensure the resultant page is rubbish free. The current version of the page seems to be riddled with old vandalism, some of it rather obvious. I don't have time to sort through it myself but hopefully you'll be extra careful in future and pass this message on to other editors if you see the same happening. Richard001 11:32, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Amir Khusro

You made this revert, saying that you "removed puzzling links"?! What are you talking about?! Have you actually taken a look at your own revert?! Or maybe at the talk page of that article?! Or at the sources given?! And by the way: the "sprotected" tag was not added by an admin, but by another user who just wanted to confuse others!

Snaps (game) (3rd AFD Nomination)

Hello!

I am contacting all registered wikipedia editors and admins that have contributed to the Snaps (game) article to let them know the page is now being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy.

Jakofčić or Jakofčič?

There are names ending in -ić, but -ič is much commoner, and the name Jakofčič appears in Tomaž Jakofčič on the Slovene Wikipedia. Xn4 03:59, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. This does leave me with a problem from a personal point of view, as to whether I have moved this to the wrong place. If you feel that from a linguistic point of view, Jakofcic's article is in the wrong place, please feel free to move it accordingly - while cricket is a strong subject of mine, Slovenian certainly is not!

As for the other names, would I be right in saying that the following are correct?

• Borut Čegovnik
• Boštjan Čegovnik
• Damir Alidžanović (modified from original to make moving easier)

Thank you for clarifying this. Bobo. 04:06, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Reverting

Hi Bob192,

I just wanted to note that you should be more careful when reverting vandalism. I highly recommend the use of the UNDO button in the page history or the manual method of reverting. Be sure to revert the entire edit and not parts and also be aware that vandals often strike more than once. Cheers! --Stux 15:39, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

No problem! Vandals have just been getting more sneaky and insidious in their defacing, so I think it's very important to be extremely careful. Take it easy. --Stux 23:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Taiwan and Legislative Violence

My edit summary was meant to say please see talk page (I created one but then moved it to the discussion but accidently pressed enter during the process). So please see the talk page for my rationale for the removal instead of just reverting 58.164.33.106 03:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Your edit readded in a large list of incidents which appear to be pushing a POV against Taiwan (the issue I've raised on the talk page). Also the source removed is only applicable to Taiwan and cannot be used to say that incidents still regularly occur on a worldwide basis (the article was originally copied from the Chinese wiki which stated that incidents still regularly occur particularly in Taiwan and the source was used to back this up). I reverted your edits for these reasons and asked that users bring it up on the talk page, but sadly some admins have chosen not to do this and I can't change back again due to 3RR. Hopefully we can discuss this on the talk page. 58.164.33.106 03:53, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

George Whitehead

Your sandbox link to George Whitehead now links to a disambiguation page listing three men of that name. None of the three is a cricketer, so if you create a stub called George Whitehead (cricketer), then you should add that name to the new disambiguation page.
