Darth Vader

edit

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Darth Vader. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. -WarthogDemon 02:12, 11 November 2006 (UTC) (user mistakenly warned -Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 02:28, 11 November 2006 (UTC))Reply

Daniel, that is so unfair. If you notice, I was trying to REVERT the page back to the way it was. I did not vandalize the page. Please take care of how you accuse people of something they didn't do. -—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tercero (talkcontribs) .
The History of the page shows otherwise. -WarthogDemon 02:19, 11 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
Then my friend you need to take a closer look at the logs.
-—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tercero (talkcontribs) .
The logs don't say that. Unless you reverted back several days of which case you'll have to show me exactly where you reverted it back to. -WarthogDemon 02:26, 11 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

(cur) (last) 02:10, 11 November 2006 Tercero (Talk | contribs) (→The Empire Strikes Back). I obviously can't see what you see, but I was reading the article and noticed that someone had over written sections regarding New Hope, and Empire. All I did was look at the history of the page, before the defacement, copied the before section of the Empire vandalism, and pasted into and over the bagel, bagel crap that the person before me had posted. Look at the log before mine and you should see what I'm talking about. I hadn't a chance to edit the actual "Empire" html yet, and was trying figure out how to contact an administrator when you or another admin sent me the message saying I had defaced the page. I know it's the American way to accuse everyone of something they didn't do, but you'll just have to read the history page and you'll see that I'm telling the truth. Again, it's not appreciated when you accuse me of doing something that I didn't do, and was trying to fix. //Tercero.

Vandalism accusation

edit

The situation is fixed. Please understand that page patrollers occasionally err, as we are human. Please don't become upset; I've crossed out your warning. Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 02:28, 11 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

All he had to do was look at the History, and you'd see that it wasn't me who'd changed the page. I'm logged in, and my IP is displayed. It's Rogers cable out of Canada, and it's fixed IP (6-8 month lease), so it will always be in the 74 range. I accept your apology, but, It's upsetting when I was trying to help, and someone accuses me of vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tercero (talkcontribs)

OK - you're logged in, so we can't see your IP; even most administrators can't do that. Second, like I said, it's cool; in short, it happens. Everything will be fine; he looked at the edit history and made an error by looking at his change, rather than your change (his reverted more vandalism than yours did). He's responding as we speak.

Apology

edit

My apologies. I couldn't find the partial revert, so when I reverted everything the History Logs made it look (at first) like you wrote it instead of reverting. Sorry for the confusion. If it's of any consolation, the very first edit I made on a wik actually DID deface the entire page . . . two more experenced editors had to come to my aid to fix whatever I messed up. I've improved since. Now I just need to avoid mistaking good faith edits as vandalism like I did here. Apologies once more and thanks for helping. Peace. -WarthogDemon 02:37, 11 November 2006 (UTC)Reply


Apology Accepted

edit

I'm sorry I got upset. Is there an easy way to contact a monitor or adminstrator if I noticed vandalisim on Wiki. I can't seem to find any sort of link or referer? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tercero (talkcontribs)

If you would like to be part of the counter-vandalism team, please see WP:RCP. There are quite a few of us. :) And your complaint on WP:AIV, which you made earlier, is actually where you're supposed to report vandalism. You posted your complaint in the wrong place, so I had to remove it, but, ironically, it's what alerted me to your problem.
Oh yes, BTW, I'm adding a welcome template below; please sign your posts with (~~~~) at the end. -Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 02:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

interesting addition

edit

Hi, you added

Contrary to widely published and highly inflammatory reports, none of the hijackers ever crossed the border from Canada into the United States.

to the September 11, 2001 attacks article, August 10. I am interested. Do you have citations for the false reports that they did so, and also for your claim that they never did? Thx ! — Xiutwel ♫☺♥♪ (talk) 11:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thermoregulation: reply

edit

I saw your comment on the Thermoregulation talk page. I went through and added a few sources and did some cleanup, but I'm not seeing the grammatical errors to which you referred. Would you have time to fix those? --Kweeket Talk 01:08, 8 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Name-calling won't decrease vandalism

edit

You reverted some vandalism on Urine with the edit summary "Grow up iidiots". That isn't in keeping with the spirit of WP:CIVIL, and probably won't be seen by the vandal (although it will show up in other editors' watchlists). Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 20:21, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please justify proposal for deletion

edit

It appears you have proposed article Bruce Simpson for deletion. Can you please explain this?

As noted in the article, this person is notable in several fields, including internet business and rocketry. He is also a prominent personality in the New Zealand internet community. --Pakaraki (talk) 06:53, 27 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi there.

Deleting other people's talk comments

edit

Hi there Tercero. Three times now you've deleted other editor's comments in a Article for Deletion discussion: here, here and here. Please don't do this, it's a breach of Wikipedia etiquette to edit another editors talk page comments at all, let alone to delete it. Please see the etiquette guideline - "Editing another editor's signed talk page comments is generally frowned upon, even if the edit merely corrects spelling or grammar." Also, your edit comment that "I'm not going to warn you again" could be considered threatening and therefore uncivil, please don't do that either. I don't take any of these things personally, I just wanted to let you know about the relevant guidelines. Ryan Paddy (talk) 08:11, 29 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • I have closed the Bruce Simpson AfD. It seems clear that this person does meet the basic inclusion criteria outlined at Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Notability and the debate was becoming mired in repeated exchanges of the same remarks and arguments. The snowball clause allows for an early close in such circumstances, and I felt it was appropriate in this case. You seemed to feel the debate was turning into an attack on you personally, perhaps because you were the only one making a delete argument, so preventing that is another reason. While it is normally not considered appropriate for a participant to close an AfD, I felt that the ignore all rules exemption applied in this case as there was no chance at this point that the article would be deleted. I hope you understand my reasoning and I want to make it clear to you that I never intended to attack you personally, only the strength of your arguments to delete. If you feel this was an error, you may pursue deletion review. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:01, 29 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

be careful when reverting
