The Pack Article

Hi, I am from Berkeley, CA. These guys went to my school. When I correct the word Berkley to Berkeley, I am pretty sure I am right. I live in the city and know that it was spelled wrong. I am assuming you are talking about something else. Please be more specific so I can correct it.

Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jnmhorn (talk • contribs) 17:41, 30 September 2008

Re:Warning

Actualy, it wasn't an edit war. I was reverting vandalism caused by an IP over and over again. It was pure vandalism and was adding a biased point of view of that individual's belief.    Juthani1   ^tcs 23:34, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes I can clarify why I reverted the users edits.

• The editor removed information from direct quotes

• The editor removed a reference

• The editor removed part of the name of another sect within the religion itself

• The editor added false information and information trying to promote his/her own beliefs

Please tell me if you need more reasons. I'm very sorry for the confusion, but the editor made at least 10 edits. As soon as I reverted one, another one appeared on my watch list from the same user. Some of the editor's edits were also on the article BAPS. I reported the IP on WP:AIV to stop the vandalism, but I don't think the editor was banned. Please reply.    Juthani1   ^tcs 23:45, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I guess it wasn't deliberate attempts, but I undid the user's edits beacause of the reasons I listed above. I wasn't a disput, but a change in sections which tried to promote the editor's own faith (POV). Also, there was a change to a direct qute, but it wasn't deliberate, but it was probably an accident. So I am sorry and was wrong in calling the editor a vandal, however I undid the edits not as a dispute but to maintain the article's neutrality. However vandalism was made to the Hindu Leaders Template which you reverted and changing the name of an organization that has a rivalry with the organization he belongs to (trying to promote one's own faith again)    Juthani1   ^tcs 00:07, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing up the issue. I will be sure to do so from know on    Juthani1   ^tcs 00:14, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Block

Perhaps you would reconsider the block of user:Liamandcole as permanent, as it is a vandalism only account. CTJF83Talk 07:58, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Well from my experiences at the Vand noticeboard, every time I report a new user, who does all vandalism, they are blocked indefinitely for vandalism only accounts. IP accounts are only blocked for 24/30 hours the first time, and progressively get longer each time. But you are the admin, so it is really your decision. CTJF83Talk 08:05, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Wow! That is extreme amounts of AGFing! All we can do is wait 23 hrs and 43 mins (or so) and see what happens. CTJF83Talk 08:12, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Truth or Dare/In Bed with Madonna

Its a hard one as Truth or Dare was its title in North America, but In Bed with Madonna was its title worldwide, I thought it was best to include both as many people don't know the Truth or Dare title at all and only know it as IBWM. It maybe vice versa for American users. I agree about using the title of country of origin, but yet again it may confuse other users who only know the documentary as IBWM. JWAD (talk)

Hi, if you feel its better as one title, you can move it, probably best as Truth or Dare as this is the title of country of origin. Your call. :) JWAD (talk)

your behaviour

• For some reason, you have decided to make me a target for your harassment.
• Over half of your contributions in the last two weeks have been edits to my talk page.
• This began two weeks ago, when in an uncivil and overbearing way, you contested 5 CSD A7 speedy deletions I had made. When it became clear you had no plans to work on the articles yourself and despite your very lengthy badgering on the topic, I declined to restore them for you and suggested you take them to WP:DRV, which you did not do. Rather, you carried on badgering me about it on my talk page.
• Your responses very often hinted that you did not understand, or were unwilling to understand, what I was saying to you.
• One of the articles was mistakenly restored, sent to prod and deleted. The others stayed deleted until yesterday when, not having gotten your way, after almost two weeks (and with very little other editing activity by you on Wikipedia in the meantime), you came back and restored them, although I had asked you not to do this. I have called this wheel warring, which you deny. You have also not reverted your actions.
• Two of these articles were again CSD deleted by another admin, without a shred of contact from me beforehand (although at first you said there had been such contact, until you were shown the diffs).
• You have carried on trying to badger and wikilawyer with me over this, even after I closed the threads on my talk page. You have edit warred on my talk page, re-opening threads and reposting ever more rambling and critical commentary about me.
• Given your recent, very limited contribution history it is clear you are chasing after some wider take or notion on CSD policy. Trying to do this on the talk pages of other admins will not get you very far. Badgering, harassing, wheel warring and edit warring will also not help you.
• Please stop. Thank you. Gwen Gale (talk) 13:16, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Gwen. I read this, but it just seems to be another tactic to avoid the reasonable discussions I have tried to have with you. Because I have not edited heavily recently does not mean that I cannot raise these issues with you, so why do you raise it. I note that you have removed the discussions from your talk page, rather than respond to them (they can be found here). I am concerned that you continue to carry out admin actions without being willing to engage in reasonable discussion, and instead accuse anybody who dissents of various breaches of policy. These tactics will not work on me, I will continue to raise issues that concern me. TigerShark (talk) 14:17, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Please do not post to my talk page again. If you have any worries about my behaviour or actions, please take them to a project page such as ANI or AN for wider input. Thanks. Gwen Gale (talk) 14:20, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I am sorry, but I can't promise to do that. You seem again to be trying to set conditions on what I can or can't do. If you genuinely feel that I have been breaching policy by posting here, and can defend that position, please feel free to raise it at AN - I am getting a bit tired of your accusations. If you do post, please provide links to the full discussions not just the bits you didn't archive. TigerShark (talk) 14:24, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi TigerShark, to quote a line from To Live and Die in LA, "If you're looking for a pigeon, go to the park." If you have any worries about my behaviour or actions, please take them to a project page such as ANI or AN for wider input. If you don't want to do this, that's ok too, I truly don't care. However, I will revert any posts by you to my talk page as ongoing harassment. Gwen Gale (talk) 14:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

What are you getting at with the pigeon quote? You can of course revert my posts, but you have a responsibility to discuss issues, and you seem to be falling short of that responsibility here. As for going to ANI, you are the one who is accusing me of breaching numerous policies. Yet it seems that you are not prepared to back this up. Up to you, but I would appreciate if you would stop accusing me of breaching policy if you don't think that you can back it up before a wider audience.

Image source problem with Image:MachineGunKelly.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:MachineGunKelly.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:37, 27 December 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 22:37, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
