I'll ask the folk at RFPP for a hand. – Rianaऋ 08:32, 6 May 2007 (UTC) The Novels WikiProject Newsletter: Issue XII - May 2007 The May 2007 issue of the Novels WikiProject newsletter has been published.

Who was it or what articles? I have learned quite a bit about wikipedia by editing but I have a bit of interest in the culture of wikipedia, too.VK35 17:14, 6 May 2007 (UTC) I came here also wondering what you were referring to. Is this a reference to the User:Robdurbar incident last month, or something else? Regards, Newyorkbrad 17:28, 6 May 2007 (UTC) It was a reference to the Robdurbar incident. I never knew it was so long ago... Guess time flies when you're on holidays... Answering to VK35, I'm pretty sure this page is pretty informative... Deletion of cheese etc. --Kzrulzuall Talk• Contribs 07:00, 7 May 2007 (UTC) I just noticed while answering ANI, but look at this post.

I love the bagoscary way of life please contact me to find out more. :):):) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bob2042 (talk • contribs) 09:42, 10 May 2007 (UTC). Do you have any reliable sources stating Winston Churchill is "bagoscary"? Otherwise, the comments will be removed, as Wikipedia is not a place to put original research, nor is the article namespace a place to place your point of view on a topic. Please refrain from making these comments without any sourcing, as it is considered unconstructive. --Kzrulzuall Talk• Contribs 09:50, 10 May 2007 (UTC) Bagoscary Some people have hijacked the word bagoscary and are useing it in a rasist way. Please do not assosiate the term bagoscary with the rasist comments. Winston Churchil was defiantly bagoscary and I will provide evidence for this once my reaserch has been compleated. Yours Bob. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bob2042 (talk • contribs) 09:53, 10 May 2007 (UTC). Bagoscary I hope you are haveing a realy nice day and that yyou will have time to reserch (what remains) of bagoscary after you delated it all. This was a hartless act of pure mallice and I would ask you not to scelence the burdon of proof. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bob2042 (talk • contribs) 10:05, 10 May 2007 (UTC). Further your mum. If you don't provide a sourcing, we delete it. That is one of the policies of Wikipedia. Making nonsense personal attacks, such as "Further your mum" doesn't help either. --Kzrulzuall Talk• Contribs 10:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC) I must applogise for saying "your mum".... Sorry. Have a nice day. User:Kzrulzuall/sandbox.js This is appearing in CAT:CSD, as you didn't directly tag this, but did your sandbox, do you want this page deleted? Petros471 19:05, 11 May 2007 (UTC) I forgot about that.... No, i don't want that one deleted... --Kzrulzuall Talk• Contribs 01:16, 12 May 2007 (UTC) Penssuckerdrewforlife Don't bother with him; he's already dead.

Hopes he doesn't resurrect though... --Kzrulzuall Talk• Contribs 03:18, 13 May 2007 (UTC) Tennis If you look over the talk page, you'll see that (1) most people agree to the removal, and (2) that "tennis expert" is unwilling to discuss it. Frankly this sounds like a case of article ownership. I've already asked for a third opinion on the WP:3O board, which is also on the talk page. >Radiant< 10:39, 14 May 2007 (UTC) I know, but I am just trying to prevent an edit war, regardless of who's right or not. --Kzrulzuall Talk• Contribs 10:42, 14 May 2007 (UTC) I've dropped a note on TE's talk page. The problem at the moment is that (despite earlier invitations) everybody is discussing it except for him, so in effect he is ignoring consensus. >Radiant< 10:53, 14 May 2007 (UTC) That is a problem, which hopefully will be solved. Just hope that he doesn't change it back, or all hell will break loose. --Kzrulzuall Talk• Contribs 10:57, 14 May 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for May 14th, 2007.

I try as I can to assume good faith. But please tell me what to do if user Piotrus always pursues me and tries to contribute to my punishement or blocking everytime he has an opportunity. He is helping my opponents to evade blocks and punishments. Biophys three times violated 3RR - he got 24h blosk and 2 warnings. I have violated 3RR three times - I got 2 24h blocks and 1 week block. Where is the justice? Please, advise me if you could how to deal with Biophys who deletes all my contributions to the Wikipedia? I tried to resolve one dispute through the mediation, but it is extremely protracted and I have to wait almost a year in order to resolve the dispute over just one article. Each time I am blocked or away from Wikipedia - Biophys reverts all my contributions. Vlad fedorov 11:16, 19 May 2007 (UTC) I suggest you either sort this issue out with him, or just basically, keep away from him and Piotrus. --Kzrulzuall Talk• Contribs 11:48, 19 May 2007 (UTC) They edit some articles which I am intrested in. You suggest me to leave Wikipedia? I tried to keep away, but Biophys has got me even on Freedom House article, like in Institute of National Remembrance. Vlad fedorov 13:12, 19 May 2007 (UTC) Dear Kzrulzuall, please note that I have never made a single edit in article Freedom House. As about other numerous articles, yes, I created them or edited extensively from stub level. Then Vlad was coming after almost every political article that I edited and "corrected" them like that [1]. All examples can be provided. I had no problems with any other editors but Vlad; it was always possible to agree or compromise with anyone but Vlad. User Colhicum also submitted an RfC about Vlad alleged wikistalking. I officially proposed to Vlad (within this RfC) to keep away from each other's edits, but he refused and follow me since then. Thank you. Biophys 17:20, 19 May 2007 (UTC) Well Biophys began contacting other users working with me on Freedom House article for my defamation. He stalked and pursued to defame me by pointing to my RfC page. Vlad fedorov 19:19, 19 May 2007 (UTC) Hey guys, can you please stop with the accusations? Vlad, I suggested you to keep away from Biophys and Piotrus, not leave Wikipedia... You guys seem to have a pretty big dispute with each other so calm down, and pay close attention to this mediation case, which you are both involved in, for a good resolution. I assure you that Daniel is an extremely good mediator and will be able to solve this. --Kzrulzuall Talk• Contribs 23:03, 19 May 2007 (UTC) O'K, no accusations, just a question. Boris Stomakhin is only one of many (at least ~10) articles where Vlad reverts my edits (another example is this [2]. What if he continue pursuing my new and many old edits, as he does during last 6 months?Biophys 00:52, 20 May 2007 (UTC) The mediation should settle all of the disputes, not just one. If you want, you can link the other articles to the Med case, to save time. --Kzrulzuall Talk• Contribs 00:55, 20 May 2007 (UTC) Thank you. This really helps! I will do it.Biophys 11:14, 20 May 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for May 21st, 2007.

I have deleted the article (as I had only transferred the content from a category place to a new article). I did however mark it as needing verification etc in the original entry itself but did not seem to have checked for the blatant copyright violation. User:MartinBot however reverted my deletion of the article. I had left a note regarding MartinBot's behaviour but do not seem to be able to change it. MartinBot should be improved to accomodate such corrections. -Deepraj | Talk 13:34, 30 May 2007 (UTC) Martinbot makes mistakes sometimes, and it is nearly impossible to change the bot's coding, so that it can accommodate the corrections. Best thing to do is correct the article, and hope the bot doesn't revert you back. --DarkFalls talk 05:58, 31 May 2007 (UTC) Your complaint I didn't do anything to the article orgasm I was trying to change that ==In other animals== into ==In other species== but when I clicked the edit page I couldn't find that headline so I just saved without editing anything. 84.250.110.93 20:55, 30 May 2007 (UTC) (Peace keeper II) You probably just got caught in someone else's editing. The way I see it, if your claim of not changing anything is true, someone vandalized the page right before you hit the edit button, someone else reverted it while you were editing it, then you hit save, which accidently reverted the page without you realizing and caused the content removal. Sorry, DarkFalls. Hope you don't mind me interveening in a conversation that isn't my own. // DecaimientoPoético 21:05, 30 May 2007 (UTC) The wrong edit possibility is pretty slim, because the edit made by you is extremely different and has a huge time differential since the last edit of vandalism. It's more likely that it was an accidental deletion. If so, forget about the warning on the talk. Thanks Poetic Decay, for the quick reply though...--DarkFalls talk 05:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC) The above archive is a past discussion. Please direct all new discussion to the current talk page. Thank you.
